I-3 ENEX 88-89 INCOME AND RETIREMENT FUND - SERIES 7, L.P. 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. A cash distribution was made to the limited partners of the Company in the amount of $10,908, representing net revenues from the sale of oil and gas produced from properties owned by the Company. This distribution was made on January 31, 1996. I-4 Item 2Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation. First Quarter 1996 Compared to First Quarter 1995 Oil and gas sales for the first quarter increased from $26,711 in 1995 to $31,405 in 1996. This represents an increase of $4,694 (18%). Oil sales decreased by $1,999 or 21%. A 23% decrease in oil production reduced sales by $2,162. This decrease was partially offset by a 2% increase in average net oil sales price. The decrease in oil production was primarily a result of natural production declines which were especially pronounced on the Wardner Ranch acquisition. The increase in the average net oil price was primarily the result of higher prices in the overall market for the sale of oil partially offset by relatively higher production of oil from properties with a lower average sales price. Gas sales increased by $6,693 or 38%. A 45% increase in average net gas sales price increased sales by $7,424. This increase was partially offset by a 4% decrease in gas production. The increase in average net gas sales price corresponds with higher prices in the overall market for the sale of gas. The decrease in gas production was primarily the result of natural production declines. Depletion expense decreased from $18,689 in the first quarter of 1995 to $16,426 in the first quarter of 1996. This represents a decrease of $2,263 (12%). The changes in production, noted above, reduced depletion expense by $1,692. A 3% decrease in the depletion rate reduced depletion expense by an additional $571. The decrease in the depletion rate was primarily a result of upward revisions of the oil and gas reserves during December 1995. General and administrative expenses increased from $2,508 in 1995 to $4,417 in 1996. This increase of $1,909 (76%) was primarily a result of a $1,635 increase in direct expenses incurred by the Company in 1996. 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 after 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. I-5 PART II.
