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. 6 SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1988-C, LTD. 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-B, Ltd. in the manner described in the notes to the financial statements in the latest Form 10-K. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES The Partnership has completed acquisition of producing oil and gas properties, expending all of limited partners' commitments available for property acquisitions. 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, 1997 (current quarter) when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 1996 (corresponding quarter), and for the six months ended June 30, 1997 (current period), when compared to the six months ended June 30, 1996 (corresponding period). Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 Oil and gas sales declined $37,136 or 39 percent in the second quarter of 1997 when compared to the corresponding quarter in 1996, primarily due to decreased gas and oil production. A decline of 48 percent in oil production and 13 percent in gas production had a significant impact on partnership performance. Also, current quarter gas prices declined 29 percent or $.67/MCF when compared to second quarter 1996 gas prices, further contributing to decreased revenues. Associated depreciation expense decreased 23 percent or $6,739. 7 SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1988-C, LTD. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED) Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 and 1996 Oil and gas sales decreased $32,456 or 16 percent in the first six months of 1997 over the corresponding period in 1996. A decline of 50 percent in oil production and 16 percent in gas production were major contributing factors to the decreased revenues for the period. Increased gas prices of 15 percent or $.31/MCF partially offset the production declines. Associated depreciation expense declined 23 percent or $15,208. During 1997, partnership revenues and costs will be shared between the limited partners and general partners in a 90:10 ratio. 8 SWIFT ENERGY INCOME PARTNERS 1988-C, LTD.
