ENEX OIL & GAS INCOME PROGRAM V - SERIES 3, 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 $4,6141  representing  net revenues  from the sale of oil
         and  gas  produced  from   properties   owned  by  the  Company.   This
         distribution was made on July 31, 1996.

3.       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.

   
4.   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. Prior to
     this pronouncement,  the Company assessed properties on an aggregate basis.
     Upon  adoption of SFAS 121, the Company  began  assessing  properties on an
     individual  basis,  wherein  total  capitalized  costs may not  exceed  the
     property's  fair market  value.  The fair market value of each property was
     determined by H. J. Gruy and  Associates,  ("Gruy").  To determine the fair
     market value, Gruy estimated each property's oil and gas reserves,  applied
     certain  assumptions  regarding price and cost  escalations,  applied a 10%
     discount factor for time and certain discount  factors for risk,  location,
     type   of   ownership   interest,   category   of   reserves,   operational
     characteristics,  and other  factors.  In the first  quarter  of 1996,  the
     Company recognized a non-cash impairment of $64,028 for certain oil and gas
     properties due to changes in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas
     and significant  decreases in the projected  production from certain of the
     Company's oil and gas properties.

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

Third Quarter 1995 Compared to the Third Quarter of 1996

Oil and gas  sales for the  third  quarter  increased  to  $38,324  in 1996 from
$28,094  in 1995.  This  represents  an  increase  of $10,230  (36%).  Oil sales
increased  by $6,149  (32%).  A 30%  increase  in the  average  oil sales  price
increased sales by $5,884. A 2% increase in oil production increased sales by an
additional  $305.  Gas sales  increased by $4,081  (47%).  A 37% increase in the
average  gas sales  price  increased  sales by  $3,147.  An 8%  increase  in gas
production  increased sales by an additional  $934. The increases in oil and gas
production were a result of higher production from the FEC acquisition, in which
the Company  obtained  additional  interests  from farmouts which reached payout
during 1995.  The  increases in the average oil and gas sales prices  correspond
with higher prices in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas.

Lease operating  expenses decreased to $10,324 in the third quarter of 1996 from
$11,986  in the third  quarter of 1995.  This  represents  a decrease  of $1,662
(13%). The decrease is parimrily the result of the changes in production,  noted
above.

Depreciation and depletion  expense decreased to $12,432 in the third quarter of
1996 from $16,096 in the third  quarter of 1995.  This  represents a decrease of
$3,664 (25%).  A 34% decrease in the  depletion  rate reduced  depreciation  and
depletion  expense by $4,357.  This decrease was partially offset by the changes
in  productions,  noted above.  The rate decrease was primarily due to the lower
property basis  resulting  from the  recognition of an impairment of property of
$64,028 in the first quarter of 1996.

General and administrative  expenses decreased to $5,852 in the third quarter of
1996 from  $6,161 in the third  quarter of 1995.  This  decrease of $309 (5%) is
primarily  due to less  staff  time  being  required  to  manage  the  Company's
operations.

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

Oil and gas sales for the first nine months  increased  to $121,546 in 1996 from
$98,726  in 1995.  This  represents  an  increase  of $22,820  (23%).  Oil sales
increased  by $12,689  (19%).  A 16%  increase  in the  average  oil sales price
increased sales by $10,784.  A 3% increase in oil production  increased sales by
an additional  $1,905.  Gas sales  increased by $10,131 (35%). A 41% increase in
the average gas sales  price  increased  sales by  $11,987.  This  increase  was
partially  offset  by a 4%  decrease  in gas  production.  The  increase  in oil
production is a result of higher  production from the FEC acquisition,  in which
the Company  obtained  additional  interests  from farmouts which reached payout
during  1995.  The  decrease  in gas  production  was  primarily  due to natural
production   declines  partially  offset  by  higher  production  from  the  FEC
acquisition. The increase in the average oil sales price corresponds with higher
prices in the overall  market for the sale of oil.  The  increase in the average
gas sales price was due to higher  expenses  incurred on the FEC  acquisition on
which the Company pays a net profits royalty,  coupled with higher prices in the
overall market for the sale of gas.

<PAGE>

Lease operating  expenses  increased to $44,321 in the first nine months of 1996
from  $38,655 in the first nine months of 1995.  The increase of $5,666 (15%) is
primarily due to ad valorem taxes paid by the operator of the FEC acquisition in
the second quarter of 1996 for the 1995 and 1996 tax years.

Depreciation and depletion expense decreased to $38,881 in the first nine months
of 1996  from  $51,469  in the first  nine  months of 1995.  This  represents  a
decrease  of $12,588  (24%).  The changes in  production,  noted  above,  caused
depreciation and depletion  expense to decrease by $732, while a 23% decrease in
the depletion rate reduced  depreciation and depletion  expense by an additional
$11,856.  The rate  decrease  was  primarily  due to the  lower  property  basis
resulting  from the  recognition  of an impairment of property of $64,028 in the
first quarter of 1996.

   
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.   Prior  to  this
pronouncement,  the Company  assessed  properties  on an aggregate  basis.  Upon
adoption of SFAS 121, the Company  began  assessing  properties on an individual
basis, wherein total capitalized costs may not exceed the property's fair market

the Company recognized a non-cash  impairment of $64,028 for certain oil and gas
properties  due to changes in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas and
significant  decreases in the projected production from certain of the Company's
oil and gas properties.
    

General  and  administrative  expenses  decreased  to  $20,075 in the first nine
months of 1996 from $21,717 in the first nine months of 1995.  This  decrease of
$1,642  (8%) is  primarily  due to less 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,   financing  and  investing
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.
