                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)


(1)  General Information -

                  The financial statements included herein have been prepared by
        the  Partnership  and are  unaudited  except  for the  balance  sheet at
        December  31,  1997  which has been  taken  from the  audited  financial
        statements at that date. The financial  statements reflect  adjustments,
        all of which  were of a  normal  recurring  nature,  which  are,  in the
        opinion  of  the  managing   general   partner   necessary  for  a  fair
        presentation.  Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally
        included in financial  statements  prepared in accordance with generally
        accepted  accounting  principles have been omitted pursuant to the rules
        and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission  ("SEC").  The
        Partnership  believes adequate disclosure is provided by the information
        presented.  The financial  statements should be read in conjunction with
        the audited  financial  statements  and the notes included in the latest
        Form 10-K.

(2) Organization and Terms of Partnership Agreement -

                  Swift Energy Managed Pension Assets Partnership 1989-1,  Ltd.,
        a Texas limited partnership ("the  Partnership"),  was formed on May 31,
        1989,  for the purpose of purchasing net profits  interests,  overriding
        royalty  interests and royalty  interests  (collectively,  "nonoperating
        interests") in producing oil and gas properties  within the  continental
        United States. Swift Energy Company ("Swift"), a Texas corporation,  and
        VJM  Partners,  Ltd.  ("VJM"),  a Texas  limited  partnership,  serve as
        Managing General Partner and Special General Partner of the Partnership,
        respectively.  The Managing General Partner is required to contribute up
        to 1/99th of limited partner net contributions. The 343 limited partners
        made total capital contributions of $3,267,837.

                  Nonoperating  interests  acquisition  costs and the management
        fee are borne 99 percent by the limited  partners and one percent by the
        general  partners.  Organization and syndication costs were borne solely
        by the limited partners.

                  Generally,  all continuing costs (including development costs,
        operating costs,  general and  administrative  reimbursements and direct
        expenses) and revenues are allocated 90 percent to the limited  partners
        and ten percent to the general partners. If prior to partnership payout,
        however,  the cash  distribution  rate for a  certain  period  equals or
        exceeds  17.5  percent,  then for the  following  calendar  year,  these
        continuing  costs and  revenues  will be  allocated  85  percent  to the
        limited  partners  and  15  percent  to  the  general  partners.   After
        partnership  payout,  continuing  costs and  revenues  will be shared 85
        percent by the limited partners, and 15 percent by the general partners,
        even if the cash  distribution  rate is less than 17.5  percent.  During
        1992 and 1991, the cash distribution rate (as defined in the Partnership
        Agreement)  exceeded  17.5  percent  and  thus,  in 1993 and  1992,  the
        continuing  costs and  revenues  were  shared 85 percent by the  limited
        partners  and 15 percent by the general  partners.  During  1997,  1996,
        1995, 1994 and 1993, the cash  distribution rate fell below 17.5 percent
        and  thus,  in 1997,  1996,  1995 and  1994,  the  continuing  costs and
        revenues  were shared 90 percent by the limited  partners and 10 percent
        by the general partners. Payout occurred in January 1998; therefore, for
        1998  and  each  year  remaining  in the  life of the  partnership,  the
        continuing  costs and revenues  will be shared 85 percent by the limited
        partners and 15 percent by the general partners.

(3)  Significant Accounting Policies -

       Use of Estimates --

                  The  preparation  of financial  statements in conformity  with
        generally accepted  accounting  principles  requires  management to make
        estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
        liabilities  at the date of the  financial  statements  and the reported
        amounts of revenues and expenses  during the  reporting  period.  Actual
        results could differ from estimates. Certain reclassifications have been
        made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.

                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
                                   (UNAUDITED)


     Nonoperating Interests in Oil and Gas Properties --

                  The Partnership accounts for its ownership interest in oil and
        gas properties using the proportionate consolidation method, whereby the
        Partnership's  share of assets,  liabilities,  revenues  and expenses is
        included in the appropriate classification in the financial statement.

                  For financial  reporting purposes the Partnership  follows the
        "full-cost"  method of accounting for nonoperating  interests in oil and
        gas property costs. Under this method of accounting,  all costs incurred
        in the acquisition of  nonoperating  interests in oil and gas properties
        are capitalized.  The unamortized cost of nonoperating  interests in oil
        and gas  properties is limited to the "ceiling  limitation"  (calculated
        separately for the Partnership,  limited partners and general partners).
        The  "ceiling  limitation"  is  calculated  on  a  quarterly  basis  and
        represents the estimated future net revenues from nonoperating interests
        in proved  properties  using current  prices  discounted at ten percent.
        Proceeds from the sale or disposition of  nonoperating  interests in oil
        and  gas  properties  are  treated  as a  reduction  of the  cost of the
        nonoperating  interests  with no gains or  losses  recognized  except in
        significant transactions.

                  The Partnership computes the provision for amortization of oil
        and gas properties on the units-of-production method. Under this method,
        the provision is calculated by multiplying the total unamortized cost of
        oil and gas  properties  by an overall rate  determined  by dividing the
        physical  units of oil and gas  produced  during the period by the total
        estimated proved oil and gas reserves at the beginning of the period.

                  The calculation of the "ceiling  limitation" and the provision
        for  depreciation,  depletion and  amortization is based on estimates of
        proved reserves. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating
        quantities  of proved  reserves  and in  projecting  the future rates of
        production,  timing and plan of development. The accuracy of any reserve
        estimate  is a  function  of  the  quality  of  available  data  and  of
        engineering  and  geological  interpretation  and  judgment.  Results of
        drilling,  testing and production subsequent to the date of the estimate
        may justify revision of such estimate.  Accordingly,  reserve  estimates
        are  often  different  from  the  quantities  of oil  and gas  that  are
        ultimately recovered.

(4)  Related-Party Transactions -

                  Affiliates of the Special General Partner,  as Dealer Manager,
        received $80,133 for managing and overseeing the offering of the limited
        partnership  units.  A one-time  management  fee of $81,696  was paid to
        Swift for services performed for the Partnership.

                  The  Partnership  entered  into a Net Profits  and  Overriding
        Royalty Interests Agreement ("NP/OR Agreement") with Swift Energy Income
        Partners  1989-2,  Ltd. and Swift Energy Income  Partners  1989-1,  Ltd.
        ("Operating  Partnerships"),  managed  by  Swift,  for  the  purpose  of
        acquiring  nonoperating  interests in producing oil and gas  properties.
        Under terms of the NP/OR  Agreement,  the  Operating  Partnerships  will
        convey to the  Partnership  nonoperating  interests in the aggregate net
        profits (i.e., oil and gas sales net of related  operating costs) of the
        properties  acquired  equal to its  proportionate  share of the property
        acquisition costs.

(5)  Vulnerability Due to Certain Concentrations -

                  The  Partnership's  revenues are primarily the result of sales
        of its oil and natural gas production.  Market prices of oil and natural
        gas may fluctuate and adversely affect operating results.

                                   (UNAUDITED)


                  In the normal  course of  business,  the  Partnership  extends
        credit,  primarily in the form of monthly oil and gas sales receivables,
        to various  companies  in the oil and gas  industry  which  results in a
        concentration  of credit risk. This  concentration of credit risk may be
        affected by changes in economic or other  conditions and may accordingly
        impact the  Partnership's  overall  credit risk.  However,  the Managing
        General  Partner  believes  that  the  risk is  mitigated  by the  size,
        reputation, and nature of the companies to which the Partnership extends
        credit.  In  addition,   the  Partnership  generally  does  not  require
        collateral or other security to support customer receivables.

(6)  Fair Value of Financial Instruments -

                  The Partnership's  financial  instruments  consist of cash and
        cash equivalents and short-term  receivables and payables.  The carrying
        amounts  approximate  fair value due to the highly  liquid nature of the
        short-term instruments.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                       CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


GENERAL

      The  Partnership  is formed for the purpose of investing  in  nonoperating
interests in producing oil and gas  properties  located  within the  continental
United States.  In order to accomplish  this, the  Partnership  goes through two
distinct yet  overlapping  phases with respect to its  liquidity  and results of
operations.  When the  Partnership  is formed,  it commences  its  "acquisition"
phase,  with all funds placed in short-term  investments  until required for the
acquisition of nonoperating interests.  Therefore,  the interest earned on these
pre-acquisition  investments  becomes the  primary  cash flow source for initial
partner  distributions.  As the Partnership acquires  nonoperating  interests in
producing properties,  net cash from ownership of nonoperating interests becomes
available  for  distribution,  along  with  the  investment  income.  After  all
partnership funds have been expended on nonoperating  interests in producing oil
and gas properties,  the Partnership enters its "operations"  phase. During this
phase,  income  from  nonoperating  interests  in oil  and gas  sales  generates
substantially all revenues, and distributions to partners reflect those revenues
less all  associated  partnership  expenses.  The  Partnership  may also  derive
proceeds  from  the  sale of  nonoperating  interests  in  acquired  oil and gas
properties,  when the sale of such  interests  is  economically  appropriate  or
preferable to continued operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

      Oil and gas reserves are depleting  assets and therefore often  experience
significant  production  declines each year from the date of acquisition through
the end of the life of the  property.  The primary  source of  liquidity  to the
Partnership comes almost entirely from the income generated from the sale of oil
and gas produced from ownership  interests in oil and gas  properties.  Net cash
provided by  operating  activities  totaled  $167,292  and  $265,366 for the six
months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.  This source of liquidity and
the related results of operations, and in turn cash distributions,  will decline
in  future  periods  as the oil and gas  produced  from  these  properties  also
declines while production and general and administrative costs remain relatively
stable making it unlikely that the  Partnership  will hold the properties  until
they are fully depleted,  but will likely liquidate when a substantial  majority
of the reserves  have been  produced.  The  Partnership  has expended all of the
partners' net commitments available for property acquisitions and development by
acquiring producing oil and gas properties. The partnership invests primarily in
proved  producing  properties with nominal levels of future costs of development
for  proven  but  undeveloped  reserves.  Significant  purchases  of  additional
reserves or extensive drilling activity are not anticipated.  Cash distributions
totaled  $214,263  and $229,414 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

      Under the NP/OR Agreement, the Managing General Partner acquires interests
in oil and gas properties  from outside  parties and sells these interests to an
affiliated  operating  partnership,  who  in  turn  creates  and  sells  to  the
Partnership  nonoperating  interests in these same oil and gas  properties.  The
Managing  General Partner expects funds available from net profits  interests to
be distributed to the partners.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

      The  following  analysis  explains  changes  in the  revenue  and  expense
categories  for the quarter ended June 30, 1998 (current  quarter) when compared
to the quarter  ended June 30,  1997  (corresponding  quarter),  and for the six
months ended June 30, 1998  (current  period),  when  compared to the six months
ended June 30, 1997 (corresponding period).

Three Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

      Income  from  nonoperating  interests  decreased  10 percent in the second
quarter of 1998 when  compared  to the same  quarter in 1997.  Oil and gas sales
declined  $22,310 or 19 percent in the second  quarter of 1998 when  compared to
the  corresponding  quarter in 1997,  primarily  due to decreased oil prices and
production.  Oil prices  decreased  29 percent or $5.12/BBL  and oil  production
declined 30 percent.  Declines in revenues were partially  offset by an increase
in gas  production  of 21 percent and gas prices of 9 percent or  $.18/MCF  when
compared to second quarter 1997 production and prices.

                MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                 CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)


      Associated  amortization  expense  remained  unchanged in 1998 compared to
second quarter 1997.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1998 and 1997

      Income from nonoperating  interests  decreased 40 percent in the first six
months  of 1998 when  compared  to the same  period  in 1997.  Oil and gas sales
declined $111,739 or 36 percent in the first six months of 1998 when compared to
the corresponding period in 1997, primarily due to decreased oil and gas prices.
A decline  in oil  prices of 34  percent  or  $6.62/BBL  and in gas prices of 21
percent or $.57/MCF, had a significant impact on partnership performance.  Also,
current  period  oil and gas  production  declined  19  percent  and 7  percent,
respectively,  when compared to the same period in 1997, further contributing to
decreased revenues.

      Associated  amortization  expense  decreased  9 percent  or $7,434 in 1998
compared  to the first six  months  of 1997,  also  related  to the  decline  in
production volumes.

      During 1998,  partnership  revenues  and costs will be shared  between the
limited partners and general partners in a 85:15 ratio.
