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, 1998 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 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.
(5) Year 2000 -
The Year 2000 issue results from computer programs and
embedded computer chips with date fields that cannot distinguish between
the years 1900 and 2000. The Managing General Partner is currently
implementing the steps necessary to make its operations and the related
operations of the Partnership capable of addressing the Year 2000. These
steps include upgrading, testing and certifying its computer systems and
field operation services and obtaining Year 2000 compliance
certification from all important business suppliers. The Managing
General Partner formed a task force during 1998 to address the Year 2000
issue and prepare its business systems for the Year 2000. The Managing
General Partner has either replaced or updated mission critical systems
and expects to complete testing during the third quarter of 1999 and
continue remedial actions as needed.
6
SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1988-B, LTD.
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
(UNAUDITED)
The Managing General Partner's business systems are almost
entirely comprised of off-the-shelf software. Most of the necessary
changes in computer instructional code can be made by upgrading this
software. The Managing General Partner is currently in the process of
either upgrading the off-the-shelf software or receiving certification
as to Year 2000 compliance from vendors or third party consultants. A
testing phase is being conducted as the software is updated or certified
and is expected to be completed during the third quarter of 1999.
The Managing General Partner does not believe that costs
incurred to address the Year 2000 issue with respect to its business
systems will have a material effect on the Partnership's results of
operations, or its liquidity and financial condition. The estimated
total cost to the Managing General Partner to address Year 2000 issues
is projected to be less than $150,000, most of which will be spent
during the testing phase. The Partnership's share of this cost is
expected to be insignificant.
The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could
result in an interruption, or failure of certain normal business
activities or operations. Based on activities to date, the Managing
General Partner believes that it will be able to resolve any Year 2000
problems concerning its financial and administrative systems. It is
undeterminable how all the aspects of the Year 2000 will impact the
Partnership. The most reasonably likely worst case scenario would
involve a prolonged disruption of external power sources upon which core
equipment relies, resulting in a substantial decrease in the
Partnership's oil and gas production activities. In addition, the
pipeline operators to whom the Managing General Partner sells the
Partnership's natural gas, as well as other customers and suppliers,
could be prone to Year 2000 problems that could not be assessed or
detected by the Managing General Partner. The Managing General Partner
is contacting its major purchasers, customers, suppliers, financial
institutions and others with whom it conducts business to determine
whether they will be able to resolve in a timely manner any Year 2000
problems directly affecting the Managing General Partner or Partnership
and to inform them of the Managing General Partner's internal assessment
of its Year 2000 review. There can be no assurance that such third
parties will not fail to appropriately address their Year 2000 issues or
will not themselves suffer a Year 2000 disruption that could have a
material adverse effect on the Partnership's activities, financial
condition or operating results. Based upon these responses and any
problems that arise during the testing phase, contingency plans or
back-up systems would be determined and addressed.

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.
The Partnership entered into a NP/OR Agreement with its companion pension
partnership, Swift Energy Managed Pension Assets Partnership 1988-A, Ltd., in
the manner described in the notes to the financial statements in the latest Form
10-K.
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. Net cash
provided by operating activities totaled $31,393 and $23,114 for the six months
ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 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 provided by property sales proceeds totaled
$55,907 for the six months ended June 30, 1999. 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. Cash
distributions totaled $30,945 and $89,525 for the six months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998, respectively.
The Partnership does not allow for additional assessments from the
partners to fund capital requirements. However, funds are available from
partnership revenues, borrowings or proceeds from the sale of partnership
property. The Managing General Partners 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 June 30, 1999 (current quarter) when compared
to the quarter ended June 30, 1998 (corresponding quarter), and for the six
months ended June 30, 1999 (current period), when compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1998 (corresponding period).
Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
Oil and gas sales declined $15,217 or 35 percent in the second quarter of
1999 when compared to the corresponding quarter in 1998, primarily due to
decreased oil and gas production. Current quarter oil and gas production
declined 57 percent and 59 percent, respectively, when compared to second
quarter 1998 production volumes. The partnership's sale of properties in the
first six months of 1999 had an impact on the partnership's production decline.
Oil prices increased 43 percent or $3.75/BBL to an average of $12.46/BBL and gas
prices increased 13 percent or $.25/MCF to an average of $2.14/MCF for the
quarter.

SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1988-B, LTD.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
Corresponding production costs per equivalent MCF increased 38 percent in
the second quarter of 1999 compared to the second quarter of 1998 while total
production costs decreased 43 percent, relating to the property sales in 1999.
Associated depreciation expense decreased 66 percent or $11,474 in 1999
compared to second quarter 1998, also related to the decline in production
volumes.
Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 and 1998
Oil and gas sales declined $24,942 or 31 percent in the first six months
of 1999 when compared to the corresponding period in 1998, primarily due to
decreased oil and gas production. Current period oil and gas production declined
48 percent and 40 percent, respectively, when compared to the same period in
1998. The partnership's sale of several properties in the first six months of
1999 had an impact on the partnership's production decline. Oil prices increased
8 percent or $.79/BBL to an average of $10.99/BBL and gas prices increased 4
percent or $.07/MCF to an average of $1.74/MCF for the current period.
Corresponding production costs per equivalent MCF increased 4 percent in
the first six months of 1999 compared to the corresponding period in 1998 while
total production costs decreased 40 percent, relating to the property sales in
1999.
Associated depreciation expense decreased 50 percent or $17,494 in 1999
compared to the first six months of 1998, also related to the decline in
production volumes.
During 1999, partnership revenues and costs will be shared between the
limited partners and general partners in a 90:10 ratio.
