     Valero  Industrial  Gas  L.P.,  Sunniland  Pipeline  Company  and  American
Exploration Corp. accounted for 23%, 21% and 10%, respectively, of the Company's
total sales in 1995.  Valero  Industrial Gas L.P.,  Michael  Petroleum Corp. and
Sunniland Pipeline Company accounted for 22%, 19% and 18%, respectively,  of the
Company's  total sales in 1994. No other  purchaser  individually  accounted for
more than 10% of such sales. Although the Company marketed a significant portion
of its sales to the above noted companies,  such a concentration does not pose a
significant risk due to the commodity nature of the Company's products.

     The  operators  of the  Company's  properties  are  noted  in Item 2 below.
Although a significant  portion of the Company's  properties  were operated by a
limited number of operators, this concentration does not pose a significant risk
since the Company's rights are secured by joint operating agreements.

Environmental and Conservation Regulation

     State  regulatory  authorities  in the  states  in which the  Company  owns
producing  properties  are empowered to make and enforce  regulations to prevent
waste of oil and gas and to  protect  correlative  rights and  opportunities  to
produce oil and gas for owners of a common  reservoir.  Each of such  regulatory
authorities  also  regulates  the amount of oil and gas  produced  by  assigning
allowable rates of production, which may be increased or decreased in accordance
with supply and demand.  Requirements  regarding the  prevention and clean-up of
pollution and similar environmental  matters are also generally applicable.  The
costs, if any, the Company may incur in this regard cannot be predicted.

     The existence of such  regulations  has had no material  adverse effects on
the Company's  operations to date,  and the cost of compliance  has not yet been
material.  There are no material  administrative or judicial proceedings arising
under such laws or  regulations  pending  against  the  Company.  The Company is
unable to assess or predict the impact that  compliance with  environmental  and
pollution  control  laws  and  regulations  may have on its  future  operations,
capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position.

Tax Laws

     The  operations of the Company are affected by the federal  income tax laws
contained in the Internal  Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").  Under
the Code,  generally,  the Company  will report  income from the sale of oil and
gas,  against  which it may deduct its ordinary  business  expenses,  depletion,
depreciation and intangible drilling and development costs.

     It is anticipated that most of the Company's income, if any, will be from a
"passive  activity"  for  purposes of the Code. A passive  activity  includes an
activity in which the taxpayer does not  materially  participate,  including the
ownership of a limited partnership interest, such as an interest in the Company.
"Passive  income," however,  does not include portfolio income (i.e.  dividends,
interest,  royalties,  etc.). Although taxpayers generally may not deduct losses
or use tax credits  derived from passive  activities  in an amount  greater than
their income derived from such activities, if and to the extent that the Company
generates  passive income,  it will be available to offset the limited partners'
passive losses from other sources.

   
     Partnerships  with  interests  that  are  "publicly  traded"  are  taxed as
corporations unless at least 90% of their income is "qualifying income." Passive
income  or  loss  from  Publicly  traded  partnerships  that  are not  taxed  as
corporations  generally  cannot be applied  against  passive income or less from
other  sources.  As  stated  in  Item  5 of  this  Annual  Report,  there  is no
established  public  trading  market  for  the  Company's  limited   partnership
interests. In addition, the Company derives more than 90% of its income from oil
and gas activities,  which  constitutes  qualifying income within the meaning of
section  7704(d) of the Code.  Therefore,  the Company should not be affected by
the publicly traded partnership rules.
