Dividends

          The Company made cash distributions to partners of $2 and $14 per $500
investment in 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The Company suspended the payment of
a   distribution   in  the  second  quarter  of  1995.  The  payment  of  future
distributions  will  depend  on the  Company's  earnings,  financial  condition,
working capital  requirements  and other factors.  Based upon current  projected
cash flows from its  property,  it does not appear  that the  Company  will have
sufficient net cash flow after debt service to pay distributions.

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 $274,259  in 1995 from  $356,381 in
1994.  This  represents  a decrease of $82,122 or 23%.  Oil sales  decreased  by
$22,166 or 12%. A 23% decline in production caused sales to decrease by $42,122.
This  decrease was  partially  offset by a 14% increase in the average oil sales
price.  Gas sales  decreased by $59,956 or 34%. A 30% decrease in gas production
reduced  sales by $51,906.  A 7% decrease in the average gas sales price reduced
sales by an additional $8,050. The lower oil production was primarily the result
of the shut-in of production in August, 1995, from the Corkscrew  acquisition in
Florida due to hurricane damage.  The decrease in gas production was primarily a
result of natural  production  declines which were especially  pronounced on the
RIC and Barnes  Estate  acquisitions.  The  changes in average oil and gas sales
prices  correspond  with  changes in the overall  market for the sale of oil and
gas.

            Lease  operating  expenses  decreased  to  $158,949  in  1994,  from
$165,836 in 1994.  The  decrease  of $6,887 or 4% was  primarily a result of the
decline in oil production, noted above.

            Depreciation  and  depletion  expense  decreased to $166,216 in 1995
from $189,450 in 1994. This represents a decrease of $23,234 or 12%. The changes
in production,  noted above,  caused  depreciation  and depletion to decrease by
$49,271.  This decrease was partially  offset by a 19% increase in the depletion
rate.  The increase in the depletion rate was primarily the result of a downward
revision of the oil reserves during 1995, partially offset by an upward revision
of the gas reserves during 1995.

            Effective October 1, 1995, the Company sold its interest in the Kidd
#1 well in the Enexco  acquisition to Humphrey Oil Co. for $23,400.  A gain from
the sale of $20,823 was recognized by the Company.

            General and  administrative  expenses  increased  to $70,451 in 1995
from  $52,319 in 1994.  The  increase of $18,132 or 35% was  primarily  due to a
$24,195  increase in direct  expenses  resulting from legal fees from a property
interest dispute on the Barnes Estate acquisition. This case is set for trial in
the second  quarter of 1996.  The Company does not expect the  settlement of the
dispute to have a material impact on the financial statements.


Capital Resources and Liquidity

            The  Company's  cash flow from  operations is a direct result of the
amount of net proceeds from the sale of oil and gas production  after payment of
its debt  obligations.  Accordingly,  the changes in cash flow 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 to the Company's partners.

   
            The Company  discontinued the payment of distributions in the second
quarter of 1995. Future  distributions are dependent upon among other things, an
increase in the prices  received for oil and gas.  The Company will  continue to
recover its reserves and reduce its  obligations  in 1996.  The Company does not
intend to  purchase  additional  properties  or fund  extensive  development  of
existing oil and gas properties,  and as such; has no long-term liquidity needs.
The  Company's  projected  cash flows from  operations  will provide  sufficient
funding to pay its operating expenses and debt obligations.  The general partner
does not intend to  accelerate  the  repayment  of the debt beyond the cash flow
provided by operating,  financing and investing  activities.  Based upon current
projected cash flows from its property, it does not appear that the Company will
have sufficient cash to pay  distributions and pay its operating  expenses,  and
meet its
    

                                      II-2

<PAGE>



   
debt  obligations.  The  Company  plans to repay the amount  owed to the general
partner over a three year period.
    

            At December 31, 1995,  the Company had no material  commitments  for
capital  expenditures.  The Company does not intend to engage in any significant
developmental drilling activity.

ENEX OIL & GAS INCOME PROGRAM III - SERIES 8, L.P.

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



1.          PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION


            Enex Oil & Gas Income Program III - Series 8, L.P. (the  "Company"),
            a New Jersey limited  partnership,  commenced  operations on May 11,
            1988 for the  purpose of  acquiring  proved oil and gas  properties.
            Total  limited  partner  contributions  were  $3,598,188,  of  which
            $35,982 was contributed by Enex Resources Corporation ("Enex"),  the
            general partner.

            In  accordance  with the  partnership  agreement,  the Company  paid
            commissions  of  $354,161  for  solicited   subscriptions   to  Enex
            Securities  Corporation,  a subsidiary of Enex, and reimbursed  Enex
            for organization expenses of approximately $108,000.

            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

             General and administrative costs           10%        90%
             Costs of drilling and completing
               development wells                        10%        90%
             Revenues from temporary investment of

             Operating costs (including general and
               administrative costs associated with
               operating producing properties)          10%        90%


             At the point in time  when the cash  distributions  to the  limited
             partners  equal  their  subscriptions  ("payout"),   the  costs  of
             drilling and completing  development wells, revenues from producing
             properties,  general and  administrative  costs and operating 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.  Under this
             method,  the  costs  of  all  development  wells  are  capitalized.
             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  capitalized  and  periodically
             assessed for impairment.

             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.

   
             The Company's  operating  interests in oil and gas  properties  are
             recorded  using  the pro  rata  consolidation  method  pursuant  to
             Interpretation 2 of Accounting Principles Board Opinion 18.
    

             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's  plans to repay the amounts  owed to the general  partner
             over a period of three years.

5.           REPURCHASE OF LIMITED PARTNER INTERESTS

             In accordance with the partnership  agreement,  the general partner
             is required to purchase limited partner interests (at the option of
             the  limited  partners)  at annual  intervals  beginning  after the
             second year  following the  formation of the Company.  The purchase
             price,  as  specified  in  the  partnership  agreement,   is  based
             primarily  on reserve  reports  prepared by  independent  petroleum
             engineers as reduced by a specified risk factor.

             in 1994.   No other purchaser individually accounted for more than
