         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.       A cash  distribution was made to the limited partners of the Company in
         the amount of $11,728,  representing  net revenues from the sale of oil
         and  gas  produced  from   properties   owned  by  the  Company.   This
         distribution was made on April 30, 1996.

3.)      On August 9, 1996, the Company's General Partner submitted  preliminary

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

Second Quarter 1995 Compared to Second Quarter 1996

Oil, gas and gas plant sales for the second quarter increased to $87,403 in 1996
from $79,977 in 1995.  This  represents  an increase of $7,426  (9%).  Oil sales
decreased by $8,014 or 21%. A 14% decrease in oil  production  reduced  sales by
$5,421.  An 8%  decrease in the  average  oil sales  price  reduced  sales by an
additional  $2,593.  Gas sales increased by $25,393 (82%). A 16% increase in gas
production  increased  sales by $5,036.  A 57% increase in the average gas sales
price  increased  sales  by an  additional  $20,357.  Sales  of  plant  products
decreased by $9,953 (98%).  A 99% decrease in the  production of plant  products
reduced sales by $10,082.  This decrease was partially offset by a 115% increase
in the average  plant product sales price.  The decrease in oil  production  was
primarily due to natural production declines. The increase in gas production was
due to increased  production  from the Speary  acquisition on which a compressor
had  been  reworked.  The  lower  production  of plant  products  was due to the
recognition  of back revenues from the Kalkaska gas plant in the second  quarter
of 1995.  The higher  average  plant  product  sales price was  primarily due to
recognition  of back revenues from the Kalkaska gas plant in the second  quarter
of 1995,  which had a relatively  lower sales price. The decrease in the average
oil sales price was the result of relatively  lower  production  from properties
with a relatively  higher sales price,  partially offset by higher prices in the
overall  market for the sale of oil.  The  higher  average  gas sales  price was
primarily the result of increased production from the Speary acquisition,  which
has a  relatively  higher gas sales  price,  coupled  with higher  prices in the
overall market for the sale of gas.

Lease operating expenses decreased to $33,062 in the second quarter of 1996 from
$37,130 in the second quarter of 1995. The decrease of $4,068 (11%) is primarily
due to the changes in production, noted above.

Depreciation and depletion expense decreased to $22,264 in the second quarter of
1996 from $33,274 in the second quarter of 1995.  This  represents a decrease of
$11,010 (33%). The changes in production,  noted above, reduced depreciation and
depletion  expense by $8,633.  A 10%  decrease  in the  depletion  rate  reduced
depreciation and depletion  expense by an additional  $2,377.  This decrease was
partially offset by the changes in production, noted above. The rate decrease is
primarily  due to an upward  revision of oil and gas  reserves  during  December
1995.

General and administrative expenses increased to $4,727 in the second quarter of
1996 from $4,443 in the second  quarter of 1995.  This  increase of $284 (6%) is
primarily  due to more  staff  time  being  required  to  manage  the  Company's
operations.

First Six Months in 1995 Compared to First Six Months in 1996

Oil,  gas and gas plant sales for the first six months  increased to $162,025 in
1996 from $160,801 in 1995. This represents a decrease of $1,224 (1%). Oil sales
decreased by $15,251 or 19%. A 16% decrease in oil  production  reduced sales by
$12,730.  A 4% decrease in the  average  oil sales price  decreased  sales by an
additional $2,521. Gas sales increased by $28,740 (42%). A

1% decrease in gas  production  increased  sales by $483.  A 41% increase in the
average gas sales price increased sales by an additional $28,257. Sales of plant
products  decreased by $12,265 or 96%. A 98% decrease in the production of plant
products  reduced sales by $12,493.  This decrease was partially offset by a 16%
increase  in  the  average  plant  product  sales  price.  The  decrease  in oil
production was primarily due to natural production declines. The increase in gas
production was primarily due to increased production from the Speary acquisition
on which a compressor was reworked.  The lower  production of plant products was
due to the  recognition  of back  revenues  from the  Kalkaska  gas plant in the
second  quarter of 1995.  The  higher  average  plant  product  sales  price was
primarily due to recognition of back revenues from the Kalkaska gas plant in the
second quarter of 1995,  which had a relatively  lower sales price. The decrease
in the average  oil sales price was  primarily  the result of  relatively  lower
production from the Speary  acquisition  which has a relatively higher oil sales
price.  The higher average gas sales price was primarily the result of increased
production from the Speary acquisition,  which has a relatively higher gas sales
price, coupled with higher prices in the overall gas sales market.

Lease  operating  expenses  decreased to $69,538 in the first six months of 1996
from  $89,247  in the first six  months of 1995.  The  decrease  of  $19,709  is
primarily due to the changes in production,  noted above,  coupled with workover
costs incurred on the Speary acquisition in 1995.

Depreciation and depletion  expense decreased to $38,338 in the first six months
of 1996 from $59,756 in the first six months of 1995. This represents a decrease
of $21,418 (36%). The changes in production,  noted above,  reduced depreciation
and depletion  expense by $14,766.  A 15% decrease in the depletion rate reduced
depreciation and depletion by an additional  $6,652. The rate decrease is due to
an upward revision of oil and gas reserves during December 1995.

General and administrative expenses increased to $10,579 in the first six months
of 1996 from  $9,411 in the first six months of 1995.  This  increase  of $1,168
(12%) is primarily due to more staff time being required to manage the Company's
operations.

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 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  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.
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.
