I-3 ENEX OIL & GAS INCOME PROGRAM IV - 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 $15,496, 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. 3. 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. In the first quarter of 1996, the Company recognized a non-cash impariment provision of $73,979 for certain oil and gas properties due to market indications that the carrying amounts were not fully recoverable. 4. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company sold its interest in the Nunley Ranch acquisition for $1,066. The Company recognized a gain of $1,066 on the sale. 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 decreased from $99,279 in 1995 to $88,275 in 1996. This represents a decrease of $11,004 (11%). Oil sales increased by $3,163 or 6%. A 9% increase in average oil sales prices increased sales by $4,713. This increase was partially offset by a 3% decrease in oil production due to natural production declines. Gas sales decreased by $14,167 or 33%. A 40% decrease in gas production reduced sales by $17,329. This decrease was partially offset by a 12% increase in gas production. The decrease in gas production was primarily a result of the sale of the Nunley Ranch acquisition effective January 1, 1996, coupled with natural production declines which were especially pronounced on the Binger acquisition. The changes in average prices correspond with changes in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas. Lease operating expenses decreased from $47,757 in the first quarter of 1995 to $41,822 in the first quarter of 1996. The decrease of $5,935 (12%) is primarily due to the changes in production, noted above. Depreciation and depletion expense decreased from $40,825 in the first quarter of 1995 to $18,185 in the first quarter of 1996. This represents a decrease of $22,640 (55%). A 40% decrease in the depletion rate reduced depreciation and depletion expense by $12,038. The changes in production, noted above, reduced depreciation and depletion by an additional $10,602. The rate decrease was primarily due to the lower property basis resulting from the recognition of an impairment of property of $73,979 in the first quarter of 1996. Effective January 1, 1996, the Company sold its interest in the Nunley Ranch acquisition for $1,066. The Company recognized a gain of $1,066 on the sale. 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. In the first quarter of 1996, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $73,979 for certain oil and gas properties due to market indications that the carrying amounts were not fully recoverable. General and administrative expenses decreased from $12,005 in the first quarter of 1995 to $11,258 in the first quarter of 1996. This decrease of $747 (6%) is primarily due to less staff time being required to manage the Company's operations, partially offset by $2,352 higher 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 I-5 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. As of March 31, 1996, the Company had no material commitments for capital expenditures. The Company does not intend to engage in any significant developmental drilling activity. I-6 PART II.
