NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
(1) General Information -
The financial statements included herein have been prepared by
the Partnership and are unaudited except for the balance sheet at
December 31, 1999 which has been taken from the audited financial
statements at that date. The financial statements reflect adjustments,
all of which were of a normal recurring nature, which are, in the
opinion of the managing general partner necessary for a fair
presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules
and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The
Partnership believes adequate disclosure is provided by the information
presented. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the audited financial statements and the notes included in the latest
Form 10-K.
During the first quarter of 2000, the Managing General Partner
mailed proxy material to the limited partners proposing to sell all the
Partnership's interests in oil and gas properties and dissolve and
liquidate the Partnership. In May 2000, the limited partners of the
Partnership approved the proposal to liquidate the Partnership. The
Managing General Partner anticipates liquidation will be substantially
completed within the next two years.
(2) Gas Imbalances -
The Partnership recognizes its ownership interest in natural
gas production as revenue. Actual production quantities sold may be
different than the Partnership's ownership share in a given period. If
the Partnership's sales exceed its ownership share of production, the
differences are recorded as deferred revenue. Gas balancing receivables
are recorded when the Partnership's ownership share of production
exceeds sales.
(3) Vulnerability Due to Certain Concentrations -
The Partnership's revenues are primarily the result of sales
of its oil and natural gas production. Market prices of oil and natural
gas may fluctuate and adversely affect operating results.
In the normal course of business, the Partnership extends
credit, primarily in the form of monthly oil and gas sales receivables,
to various companies in the oil and gas industry which results in a
concentration of credit risk. This concentration of credit risk may be
affected by changes in economic or other conditions and may accordingly
impact the Partnership's overall credit risk. However, the Managing
General Partner believes that the risk is mitigated by the size,
reputation, and nature of the companies to which the Partnership extends
credit. In addition, the Partnership generally does not require
collateral or other security to support customer receivables.
(4) Fair Value of Financial Instruments -
The Partnership's financial instruments consist of cash and
cash equivalents and short-term receivables and payables. The carrying
amounts approximate fair value due to the highly liquid nature of the
short-term instruments.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
The Partnership was formed for the purpose of investing in producing oil
and gas properties located within the continental United States. In order to
accomplish this, the Partnership goes through two distinct yet overlapping
phases with respect to its liquidity and result of operations. When the
Partnership is formed, it commences its "acquisition" phase, with all funds
placed in short-term investments until required for such property acquisitions.
The interest earned on these pre-acquisition investments becomes the primary
cash flow source for initial partner distributions. As the Partnership acquires
producing properties, net cash from operations becomes available for
distribution, along with the investment income. After partnership funds have
been expended on producing oil and gas properties, the Partnership enters its
"operations" phase. During this phase, oil and gas sales generate substantially
all revenues, and distributions to partners reflect those revenues less all
associated partnership expenses. The Partnership may also derive proceeds from
the sale of acquired oil and gas properties, when the sale of such properties is
economically appropriate or preferable to continued operation.
Liquidation
During the first quarter of 2000, the Managing General Partner mailed
proxy material to the limited partners proposing to sell all the Partnership's
interests in oil and gas properties and dissolve and liquidate the Partnership.
In May 2000, the limited partners of the Partnership approved the proposal to
liquidate the Partnership. The Managing General Partner anticipates liquidation
will be substantially completed within the next two years.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Oil and gas reserves are depleting assets and therefore often experience
significant production declines each year from the date of acquisition through
the end of the life of the property. The primary source of liquidity to the
Partnership comes almost entirely from the income generated from the sale of oil
and gas produced from ownership interests in oil and gas properties. This source
of liquidity and the related results of operations, and in turn cash
distributions, will decline in future periods as the oil and gas produced from
these properties also declines while production and general and administrative
costs remain relatively stable making it unlikely that the Partnership will hold
the properties until they are fully depleted, but will likely liquidate when a
substantial majority of the reserves have been produced. Cash distributions to
partners are determined quarterly, based upon net proceeds from sales of oil and
gas production after payment of lease operating expense, taxes and development
costs, less general and administrative expenses. In addition, future partnership
cash requirements are taken into account to determine necessary cash reserves.
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities totaled $58,418 and
$(117,662) for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
Cash provided by property sales proceeds totaled $38,031 for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. Cash distributions totaled $43,866
and $31,443 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
The Partnership has expended all of the partners' net commitments
available for property acquisitions and development by acquiring producing oil
and gas properties. The partnership invests primarily in proved producing
properties with nominal levels of future costs of development for proven but
undeveloped reserves. Significant purchases of additional reserves or extensive
drilling activity are not anticipated. The Partnership does not allow for
additional assessments from the partners to fund capital requirements. The
Managing General Partner anticipates that the Partnership will have adequate
liquidity from income from continuing operations to satisfy any future capital
expenditure requirements. Funds generated from bank borrowings and proceeds from
the sale of oil and gas properties will be used to supplement this effort if
deemed necessary.
Results of Operations
Oil and gas sales increased $54,607 or 120 percent in the first quarter of
2000 when compared to the corresponding quarter in 1999. Increased oil and gas
prices had a significant impact on Partnership performance. Oil prices increased
119 percent or $13.11/BBL to an average of $24.12/BBL and gas prices increased
89 percent or $1.56/MCF to an average of $3.32/MCF for the quarter. Current
quarter production volumes increased 11 percent as oil production increased 60
percent and gas production declined 2 percent when compared to first quarter
1999 production volumes.

SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1988-A, LTD.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Corresponding production costs per equivalent MCF decreased 9 percent in
the first quarter of 2000 compared to the first quarter of 1999 and total
production costs remained flat.
Associated depreciation expense increased 6 percent or $1,289 in 2000
compared to first quarter 1999.
During 2000, partnership revenues and costs will be shared between the
limited partners and general partners in a 90:10 ratio.
