Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.

Third Quarter 1996 Compared to Third Quarter 1995

Oil and gas  sales for the  third  quarter  increased  to  $48,648  in 1996 from
$41,082  in 1995.  This  represents  an  increase  of  $7,566  (18%).  Oil sales
increased  by $7,090  (20%).  A 32%  increase  in the  average  oil sales  price
increased sales by $10,520. This increase was partially offset by a 10% decrease
in oil  production.  Gas sales  increased  by $476 (9%).  A 56%  increase in the
average gas sales price increased  sales by $2,066.  This increase was partially
offset by a 30%  decrease in gas  production.  The changes in the average  sales
prices  correspond  with  changes in the overall  market for the sale of oil and
gas.  The  decrease  in oil and gas  production  was  primarily  due to  natural
production declines

Lease operating  expenses for the third quarter decreased to $6,564 in 1996 from
$8,581 in 1995.  The decrease of $2,017 (24%) is primarily  due to the decreases
in  production,  noted  above,  and  decreased  costs  incurred  on the  Concord
acquisition in the third quarter of 1996.

Depreciation and depletion  expense decreased to $14,825 in the third quarter of
1996 from $24,510 in the third  quarter of 1995.  This  represents a decrease of
$9,685 (40%).  A 30% decrease in the  depletion  rate reduced  depreciation  and
depletion  expense by $6,362.  The changes in production,  noted above,  reduced
depreciation and depletion expense by an additional  $3,223. The decrease in the
depletion rate is primarily the result of an upward  revision of the oil and gas
reserves during December 1995.

General and administrative  expenses decreased to $4,767 in the third quarter of
1996 from  $4,800 in the third  quarter of 1995.  This  decrease  of $33 (1%) is
primarily  due to less  staff  time  being  required  to  manage  the  Company's
operations.

First Nine Months in 1996 Compared to First Nine Months in 1995

Oil and gas sales for the first nine months  increased  to $146,336 in 1996 from
$123,212  in 1995.  This  represents  an increase  of $23,124  (19%).  Oil sales
increased  by $15,913  (15%).  A 23%  increase  in the  average  oil sales price
increased sales by $23,004.  This increase was partially offset by a 7% decrease
in oil  production.  Gas sales  increased by $7,211 (51%). A 44% increase in the
average  gas  sales  price  increased  sales by  $6,574.  A 5%  increase  in gas
production  increased  sales by an additional  $637.  The changes in the average
sales prices  correspond  with changes in the overall market for the sale of oil
and gas. The decrease in oil production was primarily due to natural  production
declines.  The  increase  in gas  production  was  primarily  the  result of the
enhanced production improvements on the Concord acquisition.

Lease operating  expenses for the first nine months decreased to $22,734 in 1996
from  $27,974 in 1995.  The  decrease of $5,240  (19%) is  primarily  due to the
changes in production,  noted above, and enhanced recovery costs incurred on the
Concord acquisition in the first quarter of 1995.

Depreciation and depletion expense decreased to $48,314 in the first nine months
of 1996  from  $71,710  in the first  nine  months of 1995.  This  represents  a
decrease  of  $23,396  (33%).  A 29%  decrease  in the  depletion  rate  reduced
depreciation and depletion expense by $20,229. The changes in production,  noted
above,  reduced  depreciation and depletion expense by an additional $3,167. The
decrease in the depletion rate is primarily the result of an upward  revision of
the oil and gas reserves during December 1995.

General  and  administrative  expenses  increased  to  $20,383 in the first nine
months of 1996 from $14,369 in the first nine months of 1995.  This  increase of
$6,014 is  primarily  due to more  staff  time  being  required  to  manage  the
Company's operations.


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's "available cash flow" is essentially equal to
the net amount of cash provided by operating activities.

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.
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.

On August 9, 1996, the Company's  General Partner  submitted  preliminary  proxy
material  to the  Securities  Exchange  Commission  with  respect  to a proposed
consolidation  of the Company with 33 other  managed  limited  partnerships.  On
November 13, 1996, the Company submitted  amended  preliminary proxy material to
the SEC with  respect  to this  consolidation  The terms and  conditions  of the
proposed consolidation are set forth in such preliminary proxy material.

As of September 30, 1996,  the Company had no material  commitments  for capital
expenditures.  The  Company  does  not  intend  to  engage  in  any  significant
developmental drilling activity.
