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, 1996 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.
(2) Gas Imbalances -
The gas imbalance receivable and deferred revenues are
accounted for on the entitlements method, whereby the Partnership
records its share of revenue, based on its entitled amount. Any amounts
over or under the entitled amount are recorded as an increase or
decrease to the gas imbalance receivable or deferred revenues as
applicable.
(3) Vulnerability Due to Certain Concentrations -
The Company'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.
The Partnership extends credit 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.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Partnership has completed acquisition of producing oil and gas
properties, expending all of the limited partners' commitments available for
property acquisitions.
The Partnership does not allow for additional assessments from the
partners to fund capital requirements. However, funds in addition to the
remaining unexpended net capital commitments of the partners are available from
partnership revenues, borrowings or proceeds from the sale of partnership
property. The Managing General Partner believes that the funds currently
available to the Partnership will be adequate to meet any anticipated capital
requirements.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following analysis explains changes in the revenue and expense
categories for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 (current quarter) when
compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1996 (corresponding quarter), and
for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 (current period), when compared to
the nine months ended September 30, 1996 (corresponding period).
Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
Oil and gas sales declined $55,766 or 33 percent in the third quarter of
1997 when compared to the corresponding quarter in 1996, primarily due to
decreased gas and oil production. A decline of 29 percent in gas production and
41 percent in oil production had a significant impact on partnership
performance. Also, current quarter oil prices declined 43 percent or $8.70/BBL
when compared to third quarter 1996 oil prices, further contributing to
decreased revenues.
Associated depreciation expense decreased 28 percent or $16,695.

SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1988-A, LTD.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996
Oil and gas sales decreased $164,024 or 27 percent in the first nine months
of 1997 over the corresponding period in 1996. A decline of 30 percent in gas
production and 47 percent in oil production were major contributing factors to
the decreased revenues for the period. Increased gas prices of 14 percent or
$.33/MCF partially offset the production declines.
Associated depreciation expense declined 18 percent or $31,923.
During 1997, partnership revenues and costs will be shared between the
limited partners and general partners in a 90:10 ratio.
