                          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 Pension  Partners  1994-D,  Ltd., a Texas limited
        partnership  ("the  Partnership"),  was formed on December 30, 1994, for
        the purpose of  purchasing  net  profits  interest,  overriding  royalty
        interests and royalty interests (collectively, "nonoperating interests")
        in producing oil and gas properties within the continental United States
        and Canada. Swift Energy Company ("Swift"), a Texas corporation, and VJM
        Corporation ("VJM"), a California corporation, serve as Managing General
        Partner and Special  General Partner of the  Partnership,  respectively.
        The sole limited partner of the Partnership is Swift Depositary Company,
        which has assigned all of its beneficial  (but not of record) rights and
        interest  as  limited  partner  to  the  investors  in  the  Partnership
        ("Interest  Holders"),   in  the  form  of  Swift  Depositary  Interests
        ("SDIs").

                  The Managing  General  Partner has paid or will pay out of its
        own corporate funds (as a capital  contribution to the  Partnership) all
        selling commissions,  offering expenses,  printing, legal and accounting
        fees and other  formation costs incurred in connection with the offering
        of SDIs and the  formation  of the  Partnership,  for which the Managing
        General  Partner  will  receive  an  interest  in  continuing  costs and
        revenues of the Partnership. The 256 Interest Holders made total capital
        contributions of $3,032,126.

                  Generally,   all  continuing  costs  (including   general  and
        administrative  reimbursements  and direct  expenses)  and  revenues are
        allocated  85  percent  to the  Interest  Holders  and 15 percent to the
        general  partners.   After   partnership   payout,  as  defined  in  the
        Partnership  Agreement,  continuing costs and revenues will be shared 75
        percent by the Interest Holders, and 25 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 statements.

                  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 partner, 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
        nonoperating    interests   in   oil   and   gas   properties   on   the
        units-of-production   method.   Under  this  method,  the  provision  is
        calculated by multiplying  the total  unamortized  cost of  nonoperating
        interests in 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 units of proved oil and gas reserves attributable to
        the Partnership's nonoperating interests 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 -

                  The  Partnership  entered  into a Net Profits  and  Overriding
        Royalty  Interest  Agreement  ("NP/OR   Agreement")  with  Swift  Energy
        Operating Partners 1994-D, Ltd. ("Operating Partnership"), an affiliated
        partnership  managed  by Swift  for the  purpose  of  acquiring  working
        interests in producing  oil and gas  properties.  Under the terms of the
        NP/OR  Agreement,  the  Partnership  has been  conveyed  a  nonoperating
        interest in the  aggregate net profits  (i.e.,  oil and gas sales net of
        related  operating  costs)  of  the  properties  acquired  equal  to the
        Partnership's proportionate share of the property acquisition costs.

                                   (UNAUDITED)


(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.

                  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 was formed for the purpose of investing in nonoperating
interests  in producing  oil and gas  properties  located  with the  continental
United States and Canada.  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  was  formed,  it  commenced  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 Interest Holders
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  $62,570 and
$128,857 for the three months ended March 31, 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
the  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   partner's  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  $90,204 and  $123,705  for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

         The  Partnership  does not allow for  additional  assessments  from the
partners or Interest Holders to fund capital  requirements.  However,  funds are
available  from  partnership  revenues or proceeds from the sale of  partnership
property.  The  Managing  General  Partner  believes  that the  funds  currently
available to the Partnership  will be adequate to meet any  anticipated  capital
requirements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Income from  nonoperating  interests  decreased 54 percent in the first
quarter of 1998 when  compared  to the same  quarter in 1997.  Oil and gas sales
declined $87,311 or 50 percent in the first quarter of 1998 when compared to the
corresponding  quarter in 1997, primarily due to decreased gas and oil prices. A
decline in gas prices of 49 percent or $1.68/MCF and in oil prices of 45 percent
or $9.59/BBL had a significant impact on partnership performance.  Also, current
quarter gas  production  declined 41 percent when compared to first quarter 1997
production volumes,  further contributing to decreased revenues. The decrease in
production  was due to the  accelerated  decline  of the Creole  North  field in
Cameron Parish, Louisiana (Parker and Parsley acquisition).

         Total  amortization  expense for the first quarter of 1998 decreased 91
percent or $448,795 when compared to the first quarter of 1997. Two  components,
the normal  provision,  calculated  on the units of production  method,  and the
additional  provision,  relating  to  the  ceiling  limitation,  make  up  total
amortization  expense.  Normal  amortization  expense  decreased  37  percent or
$15,870 in the first quarter of 1998 when compared to the first quarter of 1997,
relating to the decrease in gas production volumes.

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


         The Partnership  recorded an additional  provision in amortization  for
the first quarter in 1998 and 1997 of $19,337 and $452,262,  respectively,  when
the present value,  discounted at ten percent,  of estimated future net revenues
from oil and gas properties, using the guidelines of the Securities and Exchange
Commission,  was  below  the  fair  market  value  for oil  and gas  properties,
resulting in a full cost ceiling impairment. Using prices in effect at March 31,
1997, the Partnership  would have recorded an additional  provision at March 31,
1997 in the amount of $738,947.

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