Item 6.     Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation

Results of Operations

            This  discussion  should be read in  conjunction  with the financial
statements of the Company and the notes thereto included in this Form 10-KSB.

            Oil and gas sales  decreased  to $106,571  in 1995 from  $137,665 in
1994.  This represents a decrease of $31,094 or 23%. Oil sales decreased by $972
or 3%. A 6% decrease in oil  production  caused  revenues to decrease by $1,843.
This  decrease  was  partially  offset by a 3% increase in average oil net sales
prices.  Gas sales decreased by $30,122 or 29%. A 15% decrease in gas production
reduced sales by $15,422. A 16% decrease in average gas net sales prices reduced
sales by an additional  $14,700.  The decreases in oil and gas  production  were
primarily the result of natural production declines.  The changes in average net
sales prices  correspond  with changes in the overall market for the sale of oil
and gas.

            Depletion  expense  decreased  to $69,371 in 1995 from  $108,304  in
1994.  This  represents a decrease of $38,933 or 36%. The changes in production,
noted  above,  reduced  depletion  expense by  $13,734.  A 27%  decrease  in the
depletion rate reduced depletion expense by an additional $25,199.  The decrease
in the depletion rate was due to an upward revision of oil reserves during 1995,
partially offset by a downward revision of the gas reserves during 1995.

            General and  administrative  expenses  decreased  to $12,850 in 1995
from  $17,002 in 1994.  This  decrease of $4,152 or 24% was  primarily  due to a
$4,997  decrease in direct  costs  incurred  by the  Company in 1995,  partially
offset by more staff time being required to manage the Company's operations. The
decrease  in direct  expenses  was due to lower audit and tax  preparation  fees
incurred by the Company in 1995.


Capital Resources and Liquidity

   
            The  Company's  cash flow from  operations is a direct result of the
amount of the net proceeds  realized from the sale of the oil and gas production
after payment of debt  obligations.  Accordingly,  the changes in cash flow from
operations  from 1994 to 1995 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  net  cash  flow  provided  by
operating,  financing  and  investing  activities  to  the  Company's  partners.
Distributions  decreased from 1994 to 1995 due to the lower revenues received by
the Company in 1995, as noted above.
    

            The Company will continue to recover its reserves and  distribute to
the partners the net proceeds  realized from the sale of oil and gas production.
The Company  plans to repay the amount owed to the general  partner over a three
year  period.  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.

ENEX 88-89 INCOME AND RETIREMENT FUND - SERIES 7, L.P.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE TWO YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1995
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1.           PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION

             Enex  88-89  Income  and  Retirement   Fund  Series  7,  L.P.  (the
             "Company"), a New Jersey limited partnership,  commenced operations
             on February  28, 1990 for the  purpose of  acquiring  non-operating
             interests  in  producing  oil and  gas  properties.  Total  limited
             partner  contributions  were  $1,544,485,   of  which  $15,445  was
             contributed by Enex  Resources  Corporation  ("Enex"),  the general
             partner.

             In  accordance  with the  partnership  agreement,  the Company paid
             syndication  fees  and  due  diligence  expenses  of  $158,296  for
             solicited   subscriptions   to  Enex  Securities   Corporation,   a
             subsidiary of Enex, and reimbursed Enex for  organization  expenses
             of approximately $46,000.

             The Company owns only non-operating  interests in producing oil and
             gas  properties.  Such interests  typically  entitle the Company to
             receive its pro rata share of net profits  and  royalties  from the
             underlying  properties without obligating the Company to develop or
             operate the properties or directly bear any share of development or
             operating costs.

             Information  relating  to the  allocation  of  costs  and  revenues
             between Enex, as general  partner,  and the limited  partners is as
             follows:
                                                                Limited
                                                         Enex   Partners

             Commissions and selling expenses                     100%
             Company reimbursement of organization
               expense                                            100%
             Company property acquisition                         100%
             General and administrative costs             10%      90%
             Revenues from temporary investment
               of partnership capital                             100%
             Revenues from producing properties           10%      90%


             At the point in time  when the cash  distributions  to the  limited
             partners  equal  their  subscriptions  ("payout"),   revenues  from
             producing  properties and general and administrative  costs will be
             allocated  15% to  the  general  partner  and  85%  to the  limited
             partners.

2.           SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

             Oil and Gas  Properties - The Company uses the  successful  efforts
             method of accounting  for its oil and gas  operations.  Capitalized
             costs are  amortized  on the  units-of-production  method  based on
             estimated total proved  reserves.  The acquisition  costs of proved
             oil and gas properties are

                                      II-8

<PAGE>



             capitalized and periodically assessed for impairments.

             The Financial  Accounting  Standards Board has issued  Statement of
             Financial   Accounting  Standards  No.  121,  "Accounting  for  the
             Impairment  of Long Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to Be
             Disposed Of." This statement  requires that  long-lived  assets and
             certain  identifiable  intangibles  held and used by the Company be
             reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
             indicate  that  the  carrying   amount  of  an  asset  may  not  be
             recoverable.

             The Company has not determined the effect, if any, on its financial
             position  or  results  of  operations  which  may  result  from the
             adoption of this statement in the first quarter of 1996.

             Organization  Costs - Organization  costs are being  amortized on a
             straight-line basis over a five-year period.

             Cash Flows - The  Company  has  presented  its cash flows using the
             indirect method and considers all highly liquid investments with an
             original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

             General and  Administrative  Expenses - The Company  reimburses the
             General Partner for direct costs and administrative  costs incurred
             on its behalf.  Administrative  costs  allocated to the Company are
             computed  on a cost  basis in  accordance  with  standard  industry
             practices  by  allocating  the time spent by the General  Partner's
             personnel  among  all  projects  and by  allocating  rent and other
             overhead on the basis of the relative direct time charges.

             Uses of Estimates - The preparation of the 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  and  disclosure  of
             contigent  assets  and  liabilities  at the  date of the  financial
             statements and the reported  amounts of revenue and expenses during
             the  reporting  periods.  Actual  results  could  differ from these
             estimates.

3.           FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

             General - The Company is not a taxable  entity for  federal  income
             tax purposes. Such taxes are liabilities of the individual partners
             and the  amounts  thereof  will vary  depending  on the  individual
             situation of each partner.  Accordingly,  there is no provision for
             income taxes in the accompanying financial statements.

4.           PAYABLE TO GENERAL PARTNER

             The payable to general  partner  primarily  consists of general and
             administrative expenses allocated to the Company by Enex during the
             Company's  start-up  phase  and for  its  ongoing  operations.  The
             Company plans to repay the amounts owed to the general partner over
