ENEX 88-89 INCOME AND RETIREMENT FUND - SERIES 1, 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.   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  Inc.,  (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  provision of $333,294 for certain
     oil and gas properties due primarily to downward  reserve  revisions on the
     Lake Decade  acquisition and lower prices in the market for the sale of oil
     and gas. The Lake Decade  acquisition  included  significant  reserves that
     were considered "proved" but not yet developed. Due to depressed gas prices
     and the unsuccessful efforts of wells drilled near the acquisition,  it was
     determined by the operator of the acquisition  that future  drillings could
     not be  justified.  The  well  which  was  holding  the  lease,  which  had
     undeveloped  reserves  assigned to it, was  recompleted  by the operator in
     1996 to a zone in which the Company did not own an  interest.  As a result,
     the lease expired and the  undeveloped  reserves  associated with the lease
     had to be  written  off.  This was the cause of both the  downward  reserve
     revisions in 1996 and the reserve valuation writedowns taken by the Company
     in the first quarter of 1996.
    

3.       On April 24, 1997, the Company's General Partner submitted  preliminary
         proxy material to the Securities  Exchange Commission with respect to a
         proposed liquidation of the Company.

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


First Quarter 1997 Compared to First Quarter 1996

Oil and gas  sales for the  first  quarter  increased  from  $15,171  in 1996 to
$20,693  in 1997.  This  represents  an  increase  of  $5,522  (36%).  Oil sales
decreased  by $2,865 or 54%. A 56% decline in oil  production  reduced  sales by
$2,930.  This decrease was partially  offset by a 5% increase in the average net
oil sales  price.  Gas sales  increased  by $8,387 or 85%. A 40% increase in the
average net gas sales price  increased  sales by $5,215.  A 32%  increase in gas
production  increased  sales  by an  additional  $3,172.  The  decrease  in  oil
production was primarily the result of natural production  declines,  which were
especially pronounced on the Bagley acquisition.  The increase in gas production
was primarily the result of a successful  workover on the T.A. Richardson 6-2 in
the  Corinne  acquisition.  The  increases  in  the  average  net  sales  prices
correspond with higher prices in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas.

Depletion  expense decreased from $10,219 in the first quarter of 1996 to $7,002
in the first quarter of 1997.  This represents a decrease of $3,217 (31%). A 37%
decrease  in the  depletion  rate  reduced  depletion  expense by  $4,067.  This
decrease was partially  offset by the changes in  production,  noted above.  The
decrease in the depletion  rate was  primarily due to an upward  revision of the
gas reserves during December 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
value.  The fair market value of each property was  determined by H. J. Gruy and
Associates  Inc.,  (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  provision of $333,294 for
certain oil and gas  properties due primarily to downward  reserve  revisions on
the Lake Decade  acquisition  and lower prices in the market for the sale of oil
and gas. The Lake Decade  acquisition  included  significant  reserves that were
considered  "proved" but not yet developed.  Due to depressed gas prices and the
unsuccessful efforts of wells drilled near the acquisition, it was determined by
the operator of the  acquisition  that future  drillings could not be justified.
The well which was holding the lease, which had undeveloped reserves assigned to
it, was  recompleted  by the operator in 1996 to a zone in which the Company did
not own an interest. As a result, the lease expired and the undeveloped reserves
associated  with the lease had to be written off. This was the cause of both the
downward reserve revisions in 1996 and the reserve valuation writedowns taken by
the Company in the first quarter of 1996.
    


General and  administrative  expenses decreased from $5,200 in the first quarter
of 1996 to $3,374 in the first quarter of 1997. This decrease of $1,826 (35%) 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 1996 to 1997 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 will continue to recover its reserves and  distribute to the limited
partners the net proceeds realized from the sale of oil and gas production after
payment of its debt obligations.  Distribution  amounts are subject to change if
net revenues  are greater or less than  expected.  The general  partner does not
intend to accelerate  the repayment of the debt beyond the cash flow provided by
operating activities. Based upon current projected cash flows from its property,
it does not  appear  that  the  Company  will  have  sufficient  cash to pay its
operating expenses, repay its debt obligations and pay distributions.

On April 24, 1997, the Company's  General Partner  submitted  preliminary  proxy
material  to the  Securities  Exchange  Commission  with  respect  to a proposed
liquidation of the Company.
