NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The interim financial information included herein is unaudited;
however, such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely
of normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of
management, necessary for a fair presentation of results for the
interim periods.
2. 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. Prior to
this pronouncement, the Company assessed properties on an aggregate basis.
Upon adoption of SFAS 121, the Company began assessing properties on an
individual basis, wherein total capitalized costs may not exceed the
property's fair market value. The fair market value of each property was
determined by H. J. Gruy and Associates, ("Gruy"). To determine the fair
market value, Gruy estimated each property's oil and gas reserves, applied
certain assumptions regarding price and cost escalations, applied a 10%
discount factor for time and certain discount factors for risk, location,
type of ownership interest, category of reserves, operational
characteristics, and other factors. In the first quarter of 1996, the
Company recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $240,044 for certain
oil and gas properties due primarily to downward reserve revisions on the
Lake Decade acquisition and lower prices in the market for the sale of oil
and gas. The Lake Decade acquisition included significant reserves that
were considered "proved" but not yet developed. Due to depressed gas prices
and the unsuccessful efforts of wells drilled near the acquisition, it was
determined by the operator of the acquisition that future drillings could
not be justified. The well which was holding the lease, which had
undeveloped reserves assigned to it, was recompleted by the operator in
1996 to a zone in which the Company did not own an interest. As a result,
the lease expired and the undeveloped reserves associated with the lease
had to be written off. This was the cause of both the downward reserve
revisions in 1996 and the reserve valuation writedowns taken by the Company
in the first quarter of 1996.
3. On April 24, 1997, the Company's General Partner submitted preliminary
proxy material to the Securities Exchange Commission with respect to a
proposed liquidation of the Company.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
First Quarter 1997 Compared to First Quarter 1996
Oil and gas sales for the first quarter increased from $11,904 in 1996 to
$12,823 in 1997. This represents an increase of $919 (8%). Oil sales increased
by $589 or 8%. A 34% increase in average net oil prices increased sales by
$1,943. This increase was partially offset by a 19% decrease in oil production.
Gas sales increased by $330 or 7%. A 7% increase in gas production increased
sales by $325. A slight increase in the average gas net sales price increased
sales by an additional $5. The decrease in oil production was primarily due to
natural production declines. The increase in gas production was primarily due to
higher production from the El Mac acquisition which had an acidization
treatment. The increase in average net oil prices corresponds with higher prices
in the overall market for the sale of oil. Average net gas sales price remained
constant as higher prices in the overall market for the sale of gas were offset
by relatively higher operating expenses on the El Mac acquisition from which the
Company receives a net profits royalty.
Depletion expense increased from $1,243 in the first quarter of 1996 to $3,666
in the first quarter of 1997. This represents an increase of $2,423 (195%). A
210% increase in the depletion rate increased depletion expense by $2,485. This
increase was partially offset by the changes in production, noted above. The
increase in the depletion rate was primarily a result of downward revisions of
the oil and gas reserves during December 1996.
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. Prior to this
pronouncement, the Company assessed properties on an aggregate basis. Upon
adoption of SFAS 121, the Company began assessing properties on an individual
basis, wherein total capitalized costs may not exceed the property's fair market
value. The fair market value of each property was determined by H. J. Gruy and
Associates, ("Gruy"). To determine the fair market value, Gruy estimated each
property's oil and gas reserves, applied certain assumptions regarding price and
cost escalations, applied a 10% discount factor for time and certain discount
factors for risk, location, type of ownership interest, category of reserves,
operational characteristics, and other factors. In the first quarter of 1996,
the Company recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $240,044 for certain
oil and gas properties due primarily to downward reserve revisions on the Lake
Decade acquisition and lower prices in the market for the sale of oil and gas.
The Lake Decade acquisition included significant reserves that were considered
"proved" but not yet developed. Due to depressed gas prices and the unsuccessful
efforts of wells drilled near the acquisition, it was determined by the operator
of the acquisition that future drillings could not be justified. The well which
was holding the lease, which had undeveloped reserves assigned to it, was
recompleted by the operator in 1996 to a zone in which the Company did not own
an interest. As a result, the lease expired and the undeveloped reserves
associated with the lease had to be written off. This was the cause of both the
downward reserve revisions in 1996 and the reserve valuation writedowns taken by
the Company in the first quarter of 1996.
General and administrative expenses decreased from $3,539 in the first quarter
of 1996 to $2,687 in the first quarter of 1997. This decrease of $852 (24%) 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 from operations is a direct result of the amount of net
proceeds realized from the sale of oil and gas production. Accordingly, the
changes in cash flow from 1996 to 1997 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 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
payment of its debt obligations. Distribution amounts are subject to change if
net revenues are greater or less than expected. Based upon current projected
cash flows from the properties, it does not appear that the Company will have
sufficient cash to pay its operating expenses, repay its debt obligations and
pay distributions.
On April 24, 1997, the Company's General Partner submitted preliminary proxy
material to the Securities Exchange Commission with respect to a proposed
liquidation of the Company.
