Notes to Pro Forma Financial Information

1.)      Oil and gas property and  accumulated  depreciation  and depletion have
         been  adjusted  to reflect  the fair  market  value of the  property as
         required under the purchase method of accounting for the consolidation.

2.)      The payable to the general  partner was converted into limited  partner
         units  as  prescribed  by  the   Proxy/Prospectus   Statement  for  the
         consolidation dated April 7, 1997.

3.)      The general  partner's  capital  balance  was  converted  into  limited
         partner units as prescribed by the  Proxy/Prospectus  Statement for the
         consolidation dated April 7, 1997.

4.)      The  consolidation  costs  are  recorded  as a payable  to the  general
         partner and a reduction in limited partner capital.

5.)      Depreciation  and depletion  expense is adjusted for the purchase basis
         of accounting adjustment of the oil and gas property.

6.)      Impairment of property expense is eliminated in the Proforma  Statement
         of Operations as the oil and gas property  would have been written down
         to its fair market value  utilizing  the purchase  basis of  accounting
         method for the consolidation.
