(the "Partnership") for the period January 1, 1996 to June 30, 1996 are on pages 3 through 8 hereof. Item 2. Description of Business The Partnership has drilled and completed approximately 31.5 net wells to the Clinton/Medina formation in Mercer and Venango Counties, Pennsylvania. As of June 30, 1996, 31 wells are in production. The first quarterly distribution was on July 8, 1996 for natural gas production during February, March and April, 1996. The last well is capable of production but not yet on line. Total well revenue was $ 204,380. Total costs for this period are $20,797.96 which also includes pumper fees ($275.00 per month per well). Expenses for this period include $3847.00 ($75.00 per month per well) for admininstrative costs and $11,641.60 for accounting charges for the preparation of the partnership K-1's and audited financials, legal fees and filing fees for various legal documents such as the Amended and Restated Certificate of Partnership and 10-QSB SEC filing. For the next twelve months management believes that the Partnership has adequate capital. No other wells will be drilled and, therefore, no additional funds will be required. The Partnership also anticipates that the payment of operation and maintenance costs will not begin until the Partnership wells begin to generate revenue. Although management does not anticipate that the Partnership will have to do so, any additional funds which may be required will be obtained from production revenues from Partnership wells or from borrowings by the Partnership from Atlas or its affiliates, although Atlas is not contractually committed to make such a loan. No borrowings will be obtained from third parties. PART II Item 1. Legal Proceeding None Item 2. Changes in Securities None Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities None Item 4.
