Effective June 1, 1996, the Company sold its interest in the Harper well in the RIC acquisition for $13,904. The Company recognized a gain of $10,948 from the sale. 3.

Second Quarter 1995 Compared to Second Quarter 1996 Oil and gas sales for the second quarter increased to $62,860 in 1996 from $61,447 in 1995. This represents a decrease of $1,413 (2%). Oil sales increased by $2,692 (6%). A 7% increase in the average oil sales price caused sales to increase by $2,989. This increase was partially offset by a 1% decrease in oil production. Gas sales decreased by $1,279 (8%). A 35% decrease in gas production reduced sales by $5,497. This decrease was partially offset by a 42% increase in the average gas sales price. The changes in the average sales prices correspond with changes in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas. The decrease in oil production was primarily a result of natural production declines, partially offset by higher production from the Corkscrew acquisition which had been shut-in during the second quarter of 1995 for rod repairs. The decrease in gas production was primarily the result of the sale of the Credo acquisition in the first quarter of 1996 and the sale of the Kidd well in the Enexco acquisition in the second quarter of 1996, coupled with natural production declines. Lease operating expenses decreased to $29,299 in the second quarter of 1996 from $35,053 in the second quarter of 1995. The decrease of $5,754 (16%) is primarily due to rod repair costs incurred on the Corkscrew acquisition in the second quarter of 1995. Depreciation and depletion expense decreased to $13,124 in the second quarter of 1996 from $22,343 in the second quarter of 1995. This represents a decrease of $9,219 (41%). The changes in production, noted above, reduced depreciation and depletion expense by $3,067, while a 32% decrease in the depletion rate caused depreciation and depletion expense to decrease by an additional $6,152. The rate decrease is primarily due to the lower property basis resulting from the recognition of an impairment of property for $128,116 in the first quarter of 1996. Effective April 1, 1996, the Company sold its interest in the Kidd well in the Enexco acquisition for $16,000. The Company recognized a $15,375 gain from the sale. Effective June 1, 1996, the Company sold its interest in the Harper well in the RIC acquisition for $13,904. The Company recognized a gain of $10,948 from the sale. General and administrative expenses decreased to $9,056 in the second quarter of 1996 from $11,612 in the second quarter of 1996. This decrease of $2,556 (22%) is primarily due to less staff time being required to manage the Company's operations. First Six Months in 1995 Compared to First Six Months in 1996 Oil and gas sales for the first six months decreased to $132,133 in 1996 from $134,214 in 1995. This represents a decrease of $2,081 (2%). Oil sales decreased by $5,628 (6%). A 12% decrease in oil production reduced sales by $11,697. This decrease was partially offset by a 7% increase I-5 in the average oil sales price. Gas sales increased by $3,547 (11%). A 31% increase in the average gas sales price increased sales by $8,594. This increase was partially offset by a 15% decrease in gas production. The changes in the average sales prices correspond with changes in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas. The decrease in oil production was primarily a result of natural production declines, partially offset by higher production from the Corkscrew acquisition which had been shut-in during the second quarter of 1995 for rod repairs. The decrease in gas production was primarily the result of the sale of the Credo acquisition in the first quarter of 1996 and the sale of the Kidd well in the Enex acquisition in the second quarter of 1996, coupled with natural production declines. Lease operating expenses decreased to $66,168 in the first six months of 1996 from $67,610 in the first six months of 1995. The decrease of $1,442 (2%) is primarily due to the changes in production, noted above. Depreciation and depletion expense decreased to $26,850 in the first six months of 1996 from $50,289 in the first six months of 1995. This represents a decrease of $23,439 (47%). The changes in production, noted above, caused depreciation and depletion expense to decrease by $15,139, while a 39% decrease in the depletion rate reduced depreciation and depletion expense by an additional $17,003. The rate decrease is primarily due to the lower property basis resulting from the recognition of an impairment of property for $128,116 in the first quarter of 1996. Effective February 1, 1996, the Company sold its interest in the Credo acquisition for $6,300. The Company recognized a gain of $393 on the sale. Effective April 1, 1996, the Company sold its interest in the Kidd well in the Enexco acquisition for $16,000. The Company recognized a $15,375 gain from the sale. Effective June 1, 1996, the Company sold its interest in the Harper well in the RIC acquisition for $13,904. The Company recognized a gain of $10,948 from the sale. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long- Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," which requires certain assets to be reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In the first quarter of 1996, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $128,116 for certain oil and gas properties due to market indications that the carrying amounts were not fully recoverable. General and administrative expenses decreased to $19,816 in the first six months of 1996 from $23,990 in the first six months of 1995. This decrease of $4,174 (17%) is primarily due to less staff time being required to manage the Company's operations. I-6 CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY The Company's cash flow is a direct result of the amount of net proceeds realized from the sale of oil and gas production after the payment of its debt obligations. Accordingly, the changes in cash flow from 1995 to 1996 are primarily due to the changes in oil and gas sales described above. It is the general partner's intention to distribute substantially all of the Company's remaining available cash flow to the Company's partners. The Company will continue to recover its reserves and distribute to the limited partners the net proceeds realized from the sale of oil and gas production after the payment of its debt obligations. Distribution amounts are subject to change if net revenues are greater or less than expected. Nonetheless, the general partner believes the Company will continue to have sufficient cash flow to fund operations and to maintain a regular pattern of distributions. On August 9, 1996, the Company's General Partner submitted preliminary proxy material to the Securities Exchange Commission with respect to a proposed consolidation of the Company with 33 other managed limited partnerships. The terms and conditions of the proposed consolidation are set forth in such preliminary proxy material. As of June 30, 1996, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures. The Company does not intend to engage in any significant developmental drilling activity. I-7 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings. None Item 2. Changes in Securities. None Item 3.
