ITEMS 1 AND 2.  BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES

INTRODUCTION

         General. Kelley Partners 1992 Development Drilling Program, a Texas
limited partnership (the "Partnership"), was formed in 1992 to develop oil and
gas properties located onshore in Louisiana. The Partnership issued a total of
16,033,009 units of limited and general partner interests ("Units"),
representing 96.04% of the total interests in the Partnership, for $48,099,027.
The Units consist of 1,647,500 Units of limited partner interests ("LP Units")
and 14,385,509 Units of general partner interests ("GP Units"). In addition, the
Partnership issued managing and special general partner ("General Partner")
interests, representing the other 3.96% of the total interests in the
Partnership, for $1,983,258. Kelley Oil Corporation, the managing general
partner of the Partnership (the "Managing General Partner" or "Kelley Oil"),
owns 83.72% of the Units and a 3.94% General Partner interest. Kelley Oil is a
subsidiary of Kelley Oil & Gas Corporation ("KOGC" and, collectively with its
subsidiaries, "Kelley").

         As used in this Report, "Mcf" means thousand cubic feet, "Mmcf" means
million cubic feet, "Bcf" means billion cubic feet, "Bbl" means barrel or 42
U.S. gallons liquid volume, "Mbbl" means thousand barrels, "Mcfe" means thousand
cubic feet of natural gas equivalent using the ratio of six Mcf of natural gas
to one Bbl of crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids, "Mmcfe" means
million cubic feet of natural gas equivalent, "Bcfe" means billion cubic feet of
natural gas equivalent, and "Mmbtu" means million British thermal units. This
Report includes various other capitalized terms that are defined when first
used.

         During 1998, the oil and gas industry experienced a world-wide excess
of supply over demand for oil and natural gas resulting in sharply reduced
prices. As a result, many entities in the oil and gas industry, including Kelley
Oil and its parent, KOGC, and the Partnership, experienced reduced profitability
and cash flows which, in turn, created significant liquidity problems. KOGC was
in compliance with its Credit Facility debt covenants at December 31, 1998, but
was not in compliance as of March 31, 1999, which could result in all borrowing
under such Credit Facility being declared immediately due and payable and the
Credit Facility being terminated and payment of other KOGC subordinated
obligations being accelerated. In addition, KOGC has other long-term debt
repayments of $34.1 million scheduled to be made in December 1999. These
uncertainties create substantial doubt about KOGC's ability to continue its
operations as a going concern. To address these liquidity issues, KOGC is
attempting to take the measures discussed in the following paragraphs.

         As a result of KOGC's financial difficulties, the Partnership could
face a situation where it would either have to find a new Managing General
Partner in order to continue operating or liquidate its assets and dissolve the
Partnership. Certain events (as described in the Partnership Agreement) must
occur for the Partnership to continue. In addition, the Partnership, as a
guarantor of KOGC's borrowings under the Credit Facility, could be required to
repay a portion of the borrowings in the event of a KOGC default. Therefore,
substantial doubt exists about the Partnership's ability to continue its
operations as a going concern.

         In April 1999, KOGC entered into an Exploration and Development
Agreement with Phillips Petroleum Company ("Phillips") relating to certain of
its interests in the Bryceland, West Bryceland and Sailes fields in north
Louisiana. Pursuant to the agreement, KOGC will: (1) receive an $83 million cash
payment (subject to certain post-closing adjustments), (2) retain a 42 Bcf,
8-year volumetric overriding royalty interest and a 1% override on the excess
production above such royalty interest and (3) retain 25% of its working
interest in the Cotton Valley formation. In addition, Phillips will at its risk
and expense, operate, develop, exploit and explore the properties thereby
relieving KOGC of significant operating, exploration and development costs in
the future. The effective date of the transaction will be May 1, 1999 and is
scheduled to close on April 30, 1999, subject to the parties obtaining required
consents and meeting substantial closing requirements.

         As part of the Phillips transaction described above, the Partnership
will convey its interests in the West Bryceland and Sailes fields to Phillips.
The Partnership's reserve quantities attributable to such fields represent
approximately one-half of the Partnership's total reserve quantities at January
1, 1999 and one-half of its total 1998 production. 



                                       1
<PAGE>   3

         In addition, KOGC is negotiating a private offering of debt securities
(the "Notes"), the net proceeds which will be used to repay all amounts
outstanding under its Credit Facility, and some of which proceeds may be used to
redeem or otherwise retire a portion of the outstanding convertible subordinated
indebtedness. If issued, the Notes will be secured by a first lien on
substantially all of KOGC's proved crude oil and natural gas properties and
guaranteed by three entities wholly-owned by KOGC. The issuance of the Notes is
conditioned upon the completion of the transaction with Phillips noted in the
preceding paragraph and upon the completion of certain other conditions. There
can be no assurance that the issuance of the Notes will be consummated on such
terms, or at all.

         While industry conditions cannot be predicted with certainty and are
dependent upon a number of commodity and economic factors beyond its control,
KOGC believes the net cash proceeds from the Phillips transaction and issuance
of the Notes, if consummated, in conjunction with cash on hand and cash flow
from operations will be sufficient to provide adequate working capital and fund
its capital expenditure program during 1999. However, KOGC will continue to have
significant debt outstanding and industry conditions beyond its control may
adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.

         Operations. Development activities of the Partnership are conducted
through a joint venture (the "Joint Venture") between the Partnership and Kelley
Operating Company, Ltd. ("Kelley Operating"), a subsidiary partnership of Kelley
Oil. The Partnership contributed to the Joint Venture substantially all of the
partners' contributed capital to finance the costs of drilling, completing,
equipping and, when necessary, abandoning the wells drilled by the Joint
Venture, proportionate with the Joint Venture's working interest in each well.
Kelley Operating contributed to the Joint Venture specific drilling rights for
development wells on its properties selected by the Managing General Partner. In
return for the contributed drilling rights, Kelley Operating has reserved a 20%
reversionary interest after Payout (as defined in the Joint Venture Agreement)
in the costs and revenues of the Joint Venture.

         In addition to its reversionary interest, Kelley Operating retained one
third of its working interest associated with the drilling rights contributed to
the Joint Venture. Accordingly, Kelley Operating has contributed proportionately
to the development and operating costs of all Partnership wells and receives a
proportionate share of the revenues attributable to the sale of production from
those wells.

         Development and Production. From inception through the completion of
drilling activities in 1994, the Partnership participated in drilling 39 gross
wells, of which 30 gross (11.07 net) wells were productive and 9 gross (4.16
net) wells were dry. Subsequently, two producing Partnership wells were plugged
when production declined to noncommercial levels. During 1998, recompletion and
work-over operations were conducted on one well. From its inception through
1998, the Partnership produced 10.2 Bcf of natural gas and 194,084 barrels of
oil and natural gas liquids, generating total oil and gas revenues of
$23,826,000, of which $4,506,000 or $0.27 per Unit has been distributed to the
partners. To enable the Partnership to fund part of its drilling and
recompletion expenses in excess of contributed capital, quarterly distributions
were suspended in October 1994, reinstated for only one quarter in 1995, and
suspended again thereafter. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

MANAGEMENT, OPERATIONS AND PROPERTIES

         Kelley Oil's principal executive offices are located at 601 Jefferson
Street, Suite 1100, Houston, Texas 77002, and its main telephone number is (713)
652-5200. As Managing General Partner, Kelley Oil makes all decisions regarding
the business and operations of the Partnership. The Partnership has no employees
and utilizes the officers and staff of Kelley Oil to perform all management and
administrative functions. Kelley Oil's staff includes employees experienced in
geology, geophysics, petroleum engineering, land acquisition and management,
finance and accounting. Kelley Oil is also the managing general partner of
Kelley Operating. See "Employees" below and "Directors and Executive Officers of
Kelley Oil Corporation."

         The General Partners receive no management or other fees or promoted
interests from the Partnership or the Joint Venture. The Partnership reimburses
Kelley Oil for all direct costs incurred in managing the Partnership and all



                                       2

indirect costs allocable to the Partnership, principally comprised of general
and administrative expenses. These arrangements are the same for all development
drilling programs ("DDPs")
sponsored by Kelley Oil.

ESTIMATED PROVED RESERVES

         General. Reserve estimates contained herein were prepared by H. J. Gruy
& Associates, Inc. ("Gruy") independent petroleum engineers, as of January 1,
1997, 1998 and 1999.

         Quantities. The following table sets forth the Partnership's estimated
quantities of proved and proved developed reserves of crude oil (including
condensate and natural gas liquids) and natural gas as of January 1, 1997, 1998
and 1999. Proved developed reserves are reserves that can be expected to be
recovered from existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods.
Proved undeveloped reserves are proved reserves that are expected to be
recovered from new wells drilled to known reservoirs on undrilled acreage for
which the existence and recoverability of reserves can be estimated with
reasonable certainty, or from existing wells where a relatively major
expenditure is required for recompletion.

         Detailed information concerning the Partnership's estimated proved
reserves and discounted net future cash flows is contained in the Supplementary
Financial Information included in Note 7 to the Partnership's Financial
Statements. The Partnership has not filed any estimates of reserves with any
federal authority or agency during the past year other than estimates contained
in its last annual report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC").

         Uncertainties in Estimating Reserves. Oil and gas proved reserves
cannot be measured exactly. Reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and may
be expected to change as additional information becomes available. Estimates of
oil and gas reserves, of necessity, are projections based on engineering data,
and there are uncertainties inherent in the interpretation of such data as well
as the projection of future rates of production and the timing of development
expenditures. Reserve estimates are based on many factors related to reservoir
performance which require evaluation by the engineers interpreting the available
data, as well as price and other economic factors. The reliability of these
estimates at any point in time depends on the quality and quantity of the
technical and economic data, the production performance of the reservoirs as
well as extensive engineering judgment. Further, estimates of the economically
recoverable quantities of oil and natural gas attributable to any particular
group of properties, classifications of such reserves based on risk of recovery
and estimates of the future net revenues expected therefrom prepared by
different engineers or by the same engineers at different times may vary
substantially. Consequently, reserve estimates are subject to revision as
additional data becomes available during the producing life of a reservoir.
There also can be no assurance that the reserves set forth herein will
ultimately be produced or that the proved undeveloped reserves set forth herein
will be developed within the periods anticipated. In addition, the estimates of
future net revenues from proved reserves of Kelley and the present value thereof
are based upon certain assumptions 



                                       3

about future production levels, prices and costs that may not be correct when
judged against actual subsequent experience.

DESCRIPTION OF SIGNIFICANT PROPERTIES

         General. The properties of the Partnership consist primarily of
interests in producing wells located in the Hosston, Smackover, Miocene and
Oligocene trends in Louisiana. All of the Partnership's oil and gas reserves are

</TABLE>

MARKETING OF NATURAL GAS AND CRUDE OIL

         The Partnership does not refine or process any of the oil and natural
gas it produces. The natural gas production of the Partnership is sold to
various purchasers typically in the areas where the natural gas is produced. The
Partnership currently is able to sell, under contracts providing for periodic
price adjustments or in the spot market, all of its natural gas at current
market prices. Its revenue streams are therefore sensitive to changes in current
market prices. The Partnership's sales of crude oil, condensate and natural gas
liquids generally are related to posted field prices.

         In addition to marketing natural gas and crude oil produced on
Partnership properties, a subsidiary of Kelley Oil aggregates volumes to
increase market power, provides gas transportation arrangements, provides
nomination and gas control services, supervises gas gathering operations and
performs revenue receipt and disbursement services as well as regulatory filing,
recordkeeping, inspection, testing, monitoring functions, coordinating the
connection of wells to various pipeline systems, performing gas market surveys
and overseeing gas balancing with its various gas gatherers and transporters.

         The Partnership believes that its activities are not currently
constrained by a lack of adequate transportation systems or system capacity and
does not foresee any material disruption in available transportation for its
production. However, there can be no assurance that the Partnership will not
encounter constraints in the future. In that event, the Partnership would be
forced to seek alternate sources of transportation and may face increased costs.

HEDGING OF NATURAL GAS

         KOGC has periodically used forward sales contracts, natural gas price
swap agreements, natural gas basis swap agreements and options to reduce
exposure to downward price fluctuations on its natural gas production. KOGC does
not engage in speculative transactions. KOGC's hedging activities also cover the
oil and gas production attributable to the Partnership, including the interest
in such production of the public unitholders of the Partnership. During 1998,
the Company used price and basis swap agreements to hedge its exposure to
possible declines in natural gas prices. Additional information concerning
Partnership hedging activities during 1998 is set forth in "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations"
contained elsewhere in this Report.

COMPETITION

         The oil and gas industry is highly competitive. Major oil and gas
companies, independent concerns, drilling and production purchase programs and
individual producers and operators are active bidders for desirable oil and gas
properties, as well as the equipment and labor required to operate those
properties. Many competitors have financial resources substantially greater than
those of the Partnership and staffs and facilities substantially larger than
those of 


                                       6
<PAGE>   8

Kelley Oil. The availability of a ready market for the oil and gas production of
the Partnership depends in part on the cost and availability of alternative
fuels, the level of consumer demand, the extent of other domestic production of
oil and gas, the extent of importation of foreign oil and gas, the cost of and
proximity to pipelines and other transportation facilities, regulations by state
and federal authorities and the cost of complying with applicable environmental
regulations.

EMPLOYEES

         The Partnership has no employees and utilizes the management and staff
of Kelley Oil. As of December 31, 1998, Kelley Oil had 68 employees. Kelley
Oil's staff includes employees experienced in geology, geophysics, petroleum
engineering, land acquisition and management, finance and accounting. See
"Directors and Executive Officers of Kelley Oil Corporation." None of Kelley
Oil's employees are represented by a union. Kelley Oil has never experienced an
interruption in its operations from any kind of labor dispute, and its working
relationship with its employees is satisfactory.

REGULATION

         The Partnership's operations are subject to extensive and continually
changing regulation, as legislation affecting the oil and natural gas industry
is under constant review for amendment and expansion. Many departments and
agencies, both federal and state, are authorized by statute to issue and have
issued rules and regulations binding on the oil and natural gas industry and its
individual participants. The failure to comply with such rules and regulations
can result in substantial penalties. The regulatory burden on the oil and
natural gas industry increases the Partnership's cost of doing business and,
consequently, affects its profitability. However, the Partnership does not
believe that it is affected in a significantly different manner by these
regulations than are its competitors in the oil and natural gas industry.
Because of the numerous and complex federal and state statutes and regulations
that may affect the Partnership, directly or indirectly, the following
discussion of certain statutes and regulations should not be relied upon as an
exhaustive review of all matters affecting the Partnership's operations.

Transportation and Production

         Transportation and Sale of Natural Gas and Crude Oil. Sales of natural
gas, crude oil and condensate ("Products") can be made by the Partnership at
market prices not subject at this time to price controls. The price that the
Partnership receives from the sale of these Products is affected by the ability
to transport and cost of transporting the Products to market. Under applicable
laws, the Federal Energy Regulation Commission ("FERC") regulates both the
construction of pipeline facilities and the transportation of Products in
interstate commerce.

         Regulation of Drilling and Production. Drilling and production
operations of the Partnership are subject to regulation under a wide range of
state and federal statutes, rules, orders and regulations. State and federal
statutes and regulations govern, among other matters, the amounts and types of
substances and materials that may be released into the environment, the
discharge and disposition of waste materials, the reclamation and abandonment of
wells and facility sites and remediation of contaminated sites, and require
permits for drilling operations, drilling bonds and reports concerning
operations. Most states in which the Partnership owns and operates properties
have regulations governing conservation matters, including provisions for the
unitization or pooling of oil and natural gas properties, the establishment of
maximum rates of production from oil and natural gas wells and the regulation of
the spacing, plugging and abandonment of wells. Many states also restrict
production to the market demand for oil and natural gas and several states have
indicated interest in revising applicable regulations. The effect of these
regulations is to limit the amount of oil and natural gas the Partnership can
produce from its wells and to limit the number of wells or the locations at
which it can drill. Moreover, each state generally imposes an ad valorem,
production or severance tax with respect to the production and sale of crude
oil, natural gas and gas liquids within its jurisdiction.

Environmental Regulations

         General. The various federal environmental laws, including the National
Environmental Policy Act; the Clean Air Act of 1990, as amended ("CAA"); Oil
Pollution Act of 1990, as amended ("OPA"); Water Pollution Control Act, as
amended ("FWPCA"); the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act as amended
("RCRA"); the Toxic Substances Control Act; and the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended ("CERCLA"), and the various
state and local environmental laws, and the regulations adopted pursuant to such
law, governing the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise
relating to the protection of the environment, continue to be taken seriously by
the Partnership. In particular, the Partnership's drilling, development and
production operations, its activities in connection with storage and
transportation of crude oil and other liquid hydrocarbons and its use of
facilities for treating, processing or otherwise handling hydrocarbons and
wastes therefrom are subject to stringent environmental regulation, and
violations are subject to reporting requirements, civil penalties and criminal
sanctions. As with the industry generally, compliance with existing regulations
increases the Company's overall cost of business. The increased costs are not
reasonably ascertainable. Such areas affected include unit production expenses
primarily related to the control and limitation of air emissions and the
disposal of produced water, capital costs to drill exploration and development
wells resulting from expenses primarily related to the management and disposal
of drilling fluids and other oil and natural gas exploration wastes and capital
costs to construct, maintain and upgrade equipment and facilities and plug and
abandon inactive well sites and pits.

         Environmental regulations historically have been subject to frequent
change by regulatory authorities, and the Partnership is unable to predict the
ongoing cost of compliance with these laws and regulations or the future impact
of such regulations on its operations. However, the Partnership does not believe
that changes to these regulations will materially adversely affect its
competitive position because the Partnership's competitors are similarly
affected. A discharge of hydrocarbons or hazardous substances into the
environment could subject the Partnership to substantial expense, including both
the cost to comply with applicable regulations pertaining to the remediation of
releases of hazardous substances into the environment and claims by neighboring
landowners and other third parties for personal injury and property damage. The
Partnership maintains insurance, which may provide protection to some extent
against environmental liabilities, but the coverage of such insurance and the
amount of protection afforded thereby cannot be predicted with respect to any
particular possible environmental liability and may not be adequate to protect
the Partnership from substantial expense.

         The OPA and regulations thereunder impose a variety of regulations on
"responsible parties" related to the prevention of oil spills and liability for
damages resulting from such spills in United States waters. A "responsible
party" includes the owner or operator of an onshore facility, vessel, or
pipeline, or the lessee or permittee of the area in which an offshore facility
is located. The OPA assigns liability to each responsible party for oil removal
costs and a variety of public and private damages. The FWPCA imposes
restrictions and strict controls regarding the discharge of produced waters and
other oil and natural gas wastes into navigable waters. State laws for the
control of water pollution also provide varying civil, criminal and
administrative penalties and impose liabilities in the case of a discharge of
petroleum or its derivatives, or other hazardous substances, into state waters.
In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") has promulgated
regulations that require many oil and natural gas production operations to
obtain permits to discharge storm water runoff.

         The CAA requires or will require most industrial operations in the
United States to incur capital expenditures in order to meet air emission
control standards developed by the EPA and state environmental agencies.
Although no assurances can be given, the Company believes implementation of such
amendments will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or
results of operations. RCRA is the principal federal statute governing the
treatment, storage and disposal of hazardous wastes. RCRA imposes stringent
operating requirements (and liability for failure to meet such requirements) on
a person who is either a "generator" or "transporter" of hazardous waste or an
"owner" or "operator" of a hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal
facility. At present, RCRA includes a statutory exemption that allows oil and
natural gas exploration and production wastes to be classified as non-hazardous
waste. As a result, the Partnership is not required to comply with a substantial
portion of RCRA's requirements because its operations generate minimal
quantities of hazardous wastes.


                                       8
<PAGE>   10

         CERCLA, also known as "Superfund", imposes liability, without regard to
fault or the legality of the original act, on certain classes of persons that
contributed to the release of a "hazardous substance" into the environment.
These persons include the "owner" or "operator" of the site and companies that
disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances found at the
site. CERCLA also authorizes the EPA and, in some instances, third parties to
act in response to threats to the public health or the environment and to seek
to recover from the responsible classes of persons the costs they incur. In the
course of its ordinary operations, the Partnership may generate waste that may
fall within CERCLA's definition of a "hazardous substance". As a result, the
Partnership may be jointly and severally liable under CERCLA or under analogous
state laws for all or part of the costs required to clean up sites at which such
wastes have been disposed. The Partnership currently owns or leases, and has in
the past owned or leased, numerous properties that for many years have been used
for the exploration and production of oil and natural gas. Although the
Partnership has utilized operating and disposal practices that were standard in
the industry at the time, hydrocarbons or other wastes may have been disposed of
or released on or under the properties owned or leased by the Partnership on or
under other locations where such wastes have been taken for disposal. In
addition, many of these properties have been operated by third parties whose
actions with respect to the treatment and disposal or release of hydrocarbons or
other wastes were not under the Partnership's control. These properties and
wastes disposed thereon may be subject to CERCLA, RCRA and analogous state laws.
Under such laws, the Partnership could be required to remove or remediate
previously disposed wastes (including wastes disposed of or released by prior
owners or operators), to clean up contaminated property (including contaminated
groundwater) or to perform remedial plugging operations to prevent future
contamination.

CAUTION AS TO FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

         Statements contained in this Report and other materials filed or to be
filed by the Partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (as well as
information included in oral or other written statements made or to be made by
the Company or its representatives) that are forward-looking in nature are
intended to be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, relating to matters such as anticipated
operating and financial performance, business prospects, developments and
results of the Partnership. Actual performance, prospects, developments and
results may differ materially from any or all anticipated results due to
economic conditions and other risks, uncertainties and circumstances partly or
totally outside the control of the Partnership, including rates of inflation,
natural gas prices, uncertainty of reserve estimates, rates and timing of future
production of oil and gas, exploratory and development activities, acquisition
risks and activities, changes in the level and timing of future costs and
expenses related to drilling and operating activities and those risks described
under "Risk Factors" below.

         Words such as "anticipated," "expect," "estimate," "project" and
similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements include the risks described in "Risk Factors".

RISK FACTORS

         The Partnership cautions that the following risk factors could affect
its actual results in the future, in addition to "Uncertainties in Estimating
Reserves" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" discussed elsewhere in this
Report.

         Depletion of Reserves. Producing oil and natural gas reservoirs
generally are characterized by declining production rates that vary depending
upon reservoir characteristics and other factors. The Partnership's future oil
and natural gas reserves and production, and, therefore, cash flow and income,
are highly dependent upon its success in efficiently producing its reserves.

          Substantial Leverage. As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership has
total indebtedness for money borrowed of approximately $2,488,000 and partners'
equity of approximately $548,000. The Partnership's ability to make payments of
principal, to pay interest on or to refinance its indebtedness for money
borrowed depends on its future performance, which is subject not only to its own
actions but also to general economic, financial, competitive, 




                                       9
<PAGE>   11

legislative, regulatory and other factors beyond its control, as well as to the
prevailing market prices for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids.

         Volatility of Oil, Natural Gas and Natural Gas Liquids Prices. The
Partnership's financial results are affected significantly by the prices
received for its oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production.
Historically, the markets for oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids have been
volatile and are expected to continue to be volatile in the future. The prices
received by the Partnership for its oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids
production and the levels of such production are subject to government
regulation, legislation and policies. The Partnership's future financial
condition and results of operations will depend, in part, upon the prices
received for its oil and natural gas production, as well as the costs of
developing and producing reserves.

         Operating Hazards and Uninsured Risks. Oil and gas drilling activities
are subject to numerous risks, many of which are uninsurable, including the risk
that no commercially viable oil or natural gas production will be obtained; many
of such risks are beyond the Partnership's control. The decision to develop a
prospect or property will depend in part on the evaluation of data obtained
through geophysical and geological analyses, production data and engineering
studies, the results of which are often inconclusive or subject to varying
interpretations. The cost of drilling, completing and operating wells is often
uncertain, and overruns in budgeted expenditures are common risks that can make
a particular project uneconomical. Technical problems encountered in actual
drilling, completion and workover activities can delay such activity and add
substantial costs to a project. Further, drilling may be curtailed, delayed or
canceled as a result of many factors, including title problems, weather
conditions, compliance with government permitting requirements, shortages of or
delays in obtaining equipment, reductions in product prices and limitations in
the market for products. Although domestic drilling activity is currently at a
relatively low level, resulting in less demand for such services and a general
decrease in service costs, there can be no assurance that such market conditions
will continue.

         The availability of a ready market for the Partnership's oil and
natural gas production also depends on a number of factors, including the demand
for and supply of oil and natural gas and the proximity of reserves to pipelines
or trucking and terminal facilities. Natural gas wells may be partially or
totally shut in for lack of a market or because of inadequacy or unavailability
of natural gas pipeline or gathering system capacity.

         The Partnership's oil and natural gas business also is subject to all
of the operating risks associated with the drilling for and production of oil
and natural gas, including, but not limited to, uncontrollable flows of oil,
natural gas, brine or well fluids into the environment (including groundwater
and shoreline contamination), blowouts, cratering, mechanical difficulties,
fires, explosions, pollution and other risks, any of which could result in
substantial losses to the Partnership. Although the Partnership maintains
insurance at levels that it believes are consistent with industry practices, it
is not fully insured against all risks. Losses and liabilities arising from
uninsured and underinsured events could have a material adverse effect on the
financial condition and operations of the Partnership.


ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

         KOGC, through its subsidiaries, is involved in various claims and
lawsuits incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate
liability thereunder, if any, will not have a material effect on the financial
condition of Kelley Oil or the Partnership.


ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

         Not applicable.

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR UNITS AND RELATED UNITHOLDER MATTERS

         There is no market for the Units of the Partnership, and transfer of
the Units is substantially restricted by the provisions of the Partnership
Agreement. As of February 28, 1999, there were 803 holders of record of the
Partnership's Units.

         Distribution levels are affected by numerous factors, including oil and
gas prices, production levels and operating costs, together with any working
capital or debt service requirements. To enable the Partnership to fund part of
its drilling and recompletion expenses in excess of contributed capital,
distributions were suspended in the fourth quarter of 1994 and reinstated only
for the third quarter of 1995. Quarterly distributions are not expected to be
reinstated until all Partnership indebtedness has been repaid. See "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

         In 1992, the Partnership issued a total of 16,033,009 units of limited
and general partner interests ("Units") at $3.00 per Unit for a total of
$48,099,027. The Units represent 96.04% of the total interests in the
Partnership and consist of 1,647,500 Units of limited partner interests ("LP
Units") and 14,385,509 Units of general partner interests ("GP Units") at
December 31, 1997. In addition, the Partnership issued managing and special
general partner interests on a pro rata basis for $1,983,258, representing 3.96%
of the total interests in the Partnership. Kelley Oil Corporation, managing
general partner of the Partnership ("Kelley Oil") and a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Kelly Oil & Gas Corporation ("KOGC"), owns 83.72% of the Units, together with
its 3.94% managing general partnership interest.

         Drilling Operations. Since inception, the Partnership participated in
drilling 39 gross (15.23 net) wells, of which 30 gross (11.07 net) wells were
found productive and 9 gross (4.16 net) wells were dry.

         Hedging Activities. KOGC has periodically used forward sales contracts,
natural gas price swap agreements, natural gas basis swap agreements and options
to reduce exposure to downward price fluctuations on its natural gas production.
KOGC does not engage in speculative transactions. KOGC's hedging activities also
cover the oil and gas production attributable to the Partnership, including the
interest in such production of the public unitholders of the Partnership. During
1998, KOGC used price and basis swap agreements. Price swap agreements generally
provide for the Partnership to receive or make counterparty payments on the
differential between a fixed price and a variable indexed price for natural gas.
Basis swap agreements generally provide for the Partnership to receive or make



                                       12
<PAGE>   14

counterparty payments on the differential between a variable indexed price and
the price it receives from the sale of natural gas production, and are used to
hedge against unfavorable price movements in the relationship between such
variable indexed price and the price received for such production. Gains and
losses realized by the Partnership from hedging activities are included in oil
and gas revenues and average sales prices in the period that the related
production is sold.

         Through natural gas price swap agreements, approximately 49% of the
Partnership's natural gas production for 1998 was affected by hedging
transactions at an average NYMEX quoted price of $2.31 per Mmbtu before
transaction and transportation costs. As of December 31, 1998, approximately 17%
of the Partnership's anticipated natural gas production for 1999 has been hedged
by natural gas price swap agreements at an average NYMEX quoted price of $2.36
per Mmbtu before transaction and transportation costs. As of February 28, 1999,
approximately 34% of the Partnership's anticipated natural gas production for
1999 has been hedged at an average NYMEX quoted price of $2.15 per Mmbtu before
transaction and transportation costs. As of December 31, 1998, approximately 52%
of the Partnership's anticipated natural gas production for 1999 has been hedged
by natural gas basis swap agreements for production from January 1999 through
September 1999. Hedging activities increased Partnership revenues by
approximately $50,000 in 1998 as compared to estimated revenues had no hedging
activities been conducted.

         The credit risk exposure from counterparty nonperformance on natural
gas forward sales contracts and derivative financial instruments is generally
the amount of unrealized gains under the contracts. The Partnership has not
experienced counterparty nonperformance on these agreements and does not
anticipate any in future periods.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         Years Ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. Oil and gas revenues of
$1,398,000 for 1998 decreased 40% compared to $2,322,000 in the corresponding
period of 1997 primarily as a result of lower oil and gas production. Production
of natural gas decreased 38% from 963,000 Mcf in 1997 to 601,000 Mcf in 1998.
Production of crude oil in the current year totaled 10,172 barrels compared to
11,395 barrels last year, representing a decrease of 11%. Oil and gas production
decreased due to natural depletion.

         Lease operating expenses and severance taxes were $497,000 in 1998
versus $576,000 in 1997, a decrease of 14%, reflecting lower production levels.
On a unit of production basis, these expenses increased to $0.75 per Mcfe in
1998 from $0.56 per Mcfe in 1997.

         General and administrative expenses of $134,000 in 1998 decreased 72%
from $476,000 in 1997. On a unit of production basis, these expenses decreased
from $0.46 per Mcfe in 1997 to $0.20 per Mcfe in 1998.

         In 1998 and 1997, the Partnership incurred interest expense of $287,000
and $376,000, respectively, on a loan advanced to it by Kelley Oil in August
1994 to fund part of its drilling expenses in excess of contributed capital. The
reduction reflects the lower average note payable balance outstanding in 1998 as
compared to 1997.
See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

         Depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") expense decreased 30%
from $587,000 in 1997 to $409,000 in 1998 due to lower production levels and
lower depletion rates. On a unit of production basis, DD&A expense increased
from $0.57 per Mcfe in 1997 to $0.62 per Mcfe in 1998.

         In 1998, under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121
("SFAS 121"), "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," the Partnership recognized a non-cash
impairment charge of $466 thousand against the carrying values of its proved oil
and gas properties, for the year ended December 31, 1998 (see "Property
Impairment under SFAS 121" in Note 2 to the Financial Statements).



                                       13
<PAGE>   15

         The Partnership recognized a net loss in 1998 of $413,000 or $(0.02)
per Unit compared to net income in 1997 of $307,000 or $0.02 per Unit. The
reasons for the variance between 1998 and 1997 are described in the foregoing
discussion.

         Years Ended December 31, 1997 and 1996. Oil and gas revenues of
$2,322,000 for 1997 decreased 52% compared to $4,807,000 in the corresponding
period of 1996 primarily as a result of lower oil and gas production. Production
of natural gas decreased 48% from 1,838,000 Mcf in 1996 to 963,000 Mcf in 1997.
Production of crude oil in the current year totaled 11,395 barrels compared to
1,838,000 barrels last year, representing a decrease of 58%. Oil and gas
production decreased due to natural depletion and a reduction in the drilling of
new wells to offset that decline.

         Lease operating expenses and severance taxes were $576,000 in 1997
versus $816,000 in 1996, a decrease of 29%, reflecting lower production levels.
On a unit of production basis, these expenses increased to $0.56 per Mcfe in
1997 from $0.41 per Mcfe in 1996.

         General and administrative expenses of $476,000 in 1997 increased 46%
from $325,000 in 1996. On a unit of production basis, these expenses increased
from $0.16 per Mcfe in 1996 to $0.46 per Mcfe in 1997.

         In 1997 and 1996, the Partnership incurred interest expense of $376,000
and $810,000, respectively, on a loan advanced to it by Kelley Oil in August
1994 to fund part of its drilling expenses in excess of contributed capital. The
reduction reflects the lower average note payable balance outstanding in 1997 as
compared to 1996. See "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below.

         Depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") expense decreased 54%
from $1,280,000 in 1996 to $587,000 in 1997 due to lower production levels and
lower depletion rates. On a unit of production basis, DD&A expense decreased to
$0.57 per Mcfe in 1997 from $0.64 per Mcfe in 1996.

         The Partnership recognized net income in 1997 of $307,000 or $0.02 per
Unit compared to net income in 1996 of $1,763,000 or $0.11 per Unit. The reasons
for the variance between 1997 and 1996 are described in the foregoing
discussion.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         Liquidity. Net cash provided by the Partnership's operating activities
during 1998, as reflected on its statement of cash flows, totaled $745,000.
During the period, funds used in financing activities included a reduction in
the loan principal of $693,000. As a result of these activities, the
Partnership's cash and cash equivalents remained at zero at December 31, 1998
and December 31, 1997.

         During 1998, the oil and gas industry experienced a world-wide excess
of supply over demand for oil and natural gas resulting in sharply reduced
prices. As a result, many entities in the oil and gas industry, including Kelly
Oil and its parent, KOGC, and the Partnership, experienced reduced profitability
and cash flows which, in turn, created significant liquidity problems. KOGC was
in compliance with its Credit Facility debt covenants at December 31, 1998, but
was not in compliance as of March 31, 1999, which could result in all borrowing
under such Credit Facility being declared immediately due and payable and the
Credit Facility being terminated and payment of other KOGC subordinated
obligations being accelerated. In addition, KOGC has other long-term debt
repayments of $34.1 million scheduled to be made in December 1999. These
uncertainties create substantial doubt about KOGC's ability to continue its
operations as a going concern. To address these liquidity issues, KOGC is 
attempting to take the measures discussed in the following paragraphs.

         As a result of KOGC's financial difficulties, the Partnership could
face a situation where it would either have to find a new Managing General
Partner in order to continue operating or liquidate its assets and dissolve the
Partnership. Certain events (as described in the Partnership Agreement) must
occur for the Partnership to continue. In addition, the Partnership, as a
guarantor of KOGC's borrowings under the Credit Facility, could be required to
repay 



                                       14
<PAGE>   16
a portion of the borrowings in the event of a KOGC default. Therefore,
substantial doubt exists about the Partnership's ability to continue its
operations as a going concern.

         In April 1999, KOGC entered into an Exploration and Development
Agreement with Phillips Petroleum Company ("Phillips") relating to certain of
its interests in the Bryceland, West Bryceland and Sailes fields in north
Louisiana. Pursuant to the agreement, KOGC will: (1) receive an $83 million cash
payment (subject to certain post-closing adjustments), (2) retain a 42 Bcf,
8-year volumetric overriding royalty interest and a 1% override on the excess
production above such royalty interest and (3) retain 25% of its working
interest in the Cotton Valley formation. In addition, Phillips will at its risk
and expense, operate, develop, exploit and explore the properties thereby
relieving KOGC of significant operating, exploration and development costs in
the future. The effective date of the transaction will be May 1, 1999 and is
scheduled to close on April 30, 1999, subject to the parties obtaining required
consents and meeting substantial closing requirements.

         As part of the Phillips transaction described above, the Partnership
will convey its interests in the West Bryceland and Sailes fields to Phillips.
The Partnership's reserve quantities attributable to such fields represent
approximately one-half of the Partnership's total reserves at January 1, 1999
and approximately one-half of its total 1998 production. 

         In addition, KOGC is negotiating a private offering of debt securities
(the "Notes"), the net proceeds which will be used to repay all amounts
outstanding under its Credit Facility, and some of which proceeds may be used to
redeem or otherwise retire a portion of the outstanding convertible subordinated
indebtedness. If issued, the Notes will be secured by a first lien on
substantially all of KOGC's proved crude oil and natural gas properties and
guaranteed by three entities wholly-owned by KOGC. The issuance of the Notes is
conditioned upon the completion of the transaction with Phillips noted in the
preceding paragraph and upon the completion of certain other conditions. There
can be no assurance that the issuance of the Notes will be consummated on such
terms, or at all. Following the issuance of the Notes, KOGC likely will not have
access to a revolving credit facility to supplement its cash needs and its
ability to incur additional indebtedness will be substantially limited.

         While industry conditions cannot be predicted with certainty and are
dependent upon a number of commodity and economic factors beyond its control,
KOGC believes the net cash proceeds from the Phillips transaction and issuance
of the Notes, if consummated, in conjunction with cash on hand and cash flow
from operations will be sufficient to provide adequate working capital and fund
its capital expenditure program during 1999. However, KOGC will continue to have
significant debt outstanding and industry conditions beyond its control may
adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.

         Capital Resources. The partners' equity at December 31, 1998 increased
to $548,000 as compared to $476,000 at December 31, 1997. The Partnership has
completed its development stage. Accordingly, cash flow from operations should
be adequate to meet its expected capital and general working capital needs. As
of December 31, 1998, the Partnership was fully capitalized with contributions
aggregating $50,082,285.

         In August 1994, one of the credit facilities maintained by Kelley Oil
was modified to add the Partnership as a borrower, and $6 million was advanced
to the Partnership to fund part of its drilling overexpenditures. The
Partnership's bank debt was subsequently replaced by a $6 million loan from
Kelley Oil (the "Initial Loan") funded with borrowings by Kelley Oil under a
credit facility. Interest has been paid by the Partnership based on KOGC's
borrowing cost resulting in an effective rate of 13.5% for 1996 and 10 3/8% for
1997 and 1998, respectively. On December 31, 1996 the interest rate for the
Initial Loan was reduced to 10 3/8% following the repayment of KOGC's 13 1/2
Senior Notes, which were replaced by 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes during
the fourth quarter.

         KOGC's bank credit facility provides for a maximum $140.0 million
revolving credit loan and matures, will all amounts owed thereunder becoming due
and payable, effective December 1, 2000 (the "Credit Facility"). The Partnership
and Joint Venture are guarantors under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility
is secured by all the oil and gas properties and other assets of KOGC and its
subsidiaries, including the Partnership and the Joint Venture. The agreement
covering the Credit Facility provides various financial covenants as well as
restrictions on additional debt, mergers and asset sales, but limits the
lenders' recourse upon any default to Partnership and Joint Venture assets
attributable to Kelley Oil's interests in the Partnership. At December 31, 1998
the borrowing base was $117 million.



                                       15
<PAGE>   17

         Distribution Policy. The Partnership maintains a policy of distributing
cash which is not required for the conduct of Partnership business to
Unitholders on a quarterly basis. To meet its financial obligations for drilling
overexpenditures, the Partnership suspended distributions commencing in October
1994 and reinstated a quarterly distribution for only one quarter in 1995. At
December 31, 1998, $2,488,000 of the $6,000,000 Initial Loan remained
outstanding. By continuing to service its debt from operating cash flow, the
Partnership expects to further reduce the outstanding balance of the Initial
Loan in 1999.

         Year 2000. KOGC, on behalf of the Partnership, has instigated reviews
and evaluations in response to Year 2000 issues. These issues involve the
potential disruption to systems, processes, and business practices that may
occur if system hardware and software utilized by KOGC, its vendors, and
customers are unable to process year 2000 data. The planning phase is completed
and KOGC is nearing completion of internal corrective measures.

         KOGC is working closely with its information systems and technology
vendors to install updated software, where appropriate, that will be Year 2000
compliant. Currently, more than 90% of the critical Year 2000 internal systems
issues have been tested and corrected. The remainder are expected to be
installed and tested by the end of the third quarter of 1999.

         KOGC has identified those vendors and others that it believes provide
material services or are vital to its business. Discussions with these companies
to determine their Year 2000 readiness are expected to be completed in the
second quarter of 1999. By mid-year 1999 KOGC plans to have completed its Year
2000 review and implemented necessary corrective measures.

         The cost of reviewing and implementing corrective measures for Year
2000 issues to date has not been material to KOGC or the Partnership and has
been limited to use of Company and vendor personnel for review and
implementation of corrective measures. KOGC expects the remainder of the Year
2000 review and corrective measures to not involve significant costs.

         Based on assessments to date and compliance plans in progress,
management is of the opinion that Year 2000 issues, including the cost of
implementing corrective measures, will not have a material impact on the
business or operations of KOGC or the Partnership. Nevertheless, as indicated
above, achieving Year 2000 readiness is subject to risk and uncertainties,
especially regarding third parties, and there can be no assurance KOGC or the
Partnership will not be adversely affected by Year 2000 issues.

         The foregoing statements are intended to be and are hereby designated
"Year 2000 Readiness Disclosures" within the meaning of the Year 2000
Information and Readiness Act.

         Inflation and Changing Prices. Oil and natural gas prices, as with most

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


To the Partners of Kelley Partners 1992 Development Drilling Program:


         We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Kelley Partners 1992
Development Drilling Program (a Texas limited partnership) as of December 31,
1997 and 1998, and the related statements of operations, cash flows, and changes
in partners' equity (deficit) for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

         In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Kelley Partners 1992 Development
Drilling Program as of December 31, 1997 and 1998, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1998 have been prepared assuming that the Partnership will continue
as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the
Partnership's Managing General Partner's liquidity issues and difficulties in
meeting certain loan agreement covenants raise substantial doubt about the
Partnership's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans
concerning these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.

                KELLEY PARTNERS 1992 DEVELOPMENT DRILLING PROGRAM
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 - INDUSTRY CONDITIONS AND LIQUIDITY

         Organization. Kelley Partners 1992 Development Drilling Program, a
Texas limited partnership (the "Partnership"), was formed in June 1992 and
commenced operations on November 27, 1992 upon completion of a public offering
of 16,033,009 units of limited partner interests and general partner interests
(the "Units") in the Partnership at $3.00 per Unit. Kelley Oil Corporation
("Kelley Oil") serves as the managing general partner of the Partnership, and
David L. Kelley serves as the special general partner of the Partnership.

         The sole purpose of the Partnership is to finance the drilling of
development wells, as defined in its partnership agreement (the "Partnership
Agreement"), on selected properties owned by Kelley Operating Company, Ltd.
("Kelley Operating"), a Texas limited partnership of which Kelley Oil & Gas
Partners, Ltd. ("Kelley Partners") was the sole limited partner. The
Partnership's development activities have been conducted through a joint venture
(the "Joint Venture") between the Partnership and Kelley Operating, which has
retained a 20% interest in the Joint Venture after Payout (as defined in the
Joint Venture Agreement) in consideration of its contribution of drilling
rights. In February 1995, the equity interests in Kelley Partners and Kelley Oil
were consolidated (the "Consolidation") in Kelley Oil & Gas Corporation
(collectively with its predecessors, "KOGC"). In March 1996, Kelley Partners was
merged into KOGC, and Kelley Partners' 98% limited partner interest in Kelley
Operating was transferred to Kelley Oil.

         The general partners own in the aggregate a 3.96% general partner
interest in the Partnership. In addition, as of December 31, 1998, Kelley Oil
owned 13,422,310 (83.72%) Units. The Partnership has no officers, directors or
employees. The officers and employees of Kelley Oil perform the management and
administrative functions of the Partnership. The Partnership reimburses Kelley
Oil for all direct costs incurred in managing the Partnership and all indirect
costs allocable to the Partnership, principally comprised of general and
administrative expenses.

         During 1998, the oil and gas industry experienced a world-wide excess
of supply over demand for oil and natural gas resulting in sharply reduced
prices. As a result, many entities in the oil and gas industry, including Kelley
Oil and its parent, KOGC and the Partnership, experienced reduced profitability
and cash flows which, in turn, created significant liquidity problems. KOGC was
in compliance with its Credit Facility debt covenants at December 31, 1998, but
was not in compliance as of March 31, 1999, which could result in all borrowing
under such Credit Facility being declared immediately due and payable and the
Credit Facility being terminated and payment of other KOGC subordinated
obligations being accelerated. In addition, KOGC has other long-term debt
repayments of $34.1 million scheduled to be made in December 1999. These
uncertainties create substantial doubt about KOGC's ability to continue its
operations as a going concern. To address these liquidity issues, KOGC is
attempting to take the measures discussed in the following paragraph.

         As a result of KOGC's financial difficulties, the Partnership could
face a situation where it would either have to find a new Managing General
Partner in order to continue operating or liquidate its assets and dissolve the
Partnership. Certain events (as described in the Partnership Agreement) must
occur for the Partnership to continue. In addition, the Partnership, as a
guarantor of KOGC's borrowings under the Credit Facility, could be required to
repay a portion of the borrowings in the event of a KOGC default. Therefore,
substantial doubt exists about the Partnership's ability to continue its
operations as a going concern.

         In April 1999, KOGC entered into an Exploration and Development
Agreement with Phillips Petroleum Company ("Phillips") relating to certain of
its interests in the Bryceland, West Bryceland and Sailes fields in north
Louisiana. Pursuant to the agreement, KOGC will: (1) receive an $83 million cash
payment (subject to certain post-closing adjustments), (2) retain a 42 Bcf,
8-year volumetric overriding royalty interest and a 1% override on the excess
production above such royalty interest and (3) retain 25% of its working
interest in the Cotton Valley formation. In addition, Phillips will at its risk
and expense, operate, develop, exploit and explore the properties thereby
relieving KOGC of significant operating, exploration and development costs in
the future. The effective date of the transaction will be May 1, 1999 and is
scheduled to close on April 30, 1999, subject to the parties obtaining required
consents and meeting substantial closing requirements.

         As part of the Phillips transaction described above, the Partnership 
will convey its interests in the West Bryceland and Sailes fields to Phillips. 
The Partnership's reserve quantities attributable to such fields represent 
approximately one-half of the Partnership's total reserves at January 1, 1999 
and approximately one-half of its total 1998 production. 




                                       24
<PAGE>   26

         In addition, KOGC is negotiating a private offering of debt securities
(the "Notes"), the net proceeds which will be used to repay all amounts
outstanding under its Credit Facility, and some of which proceeds may be used to
redeem or otherwise retire a portion of the outstanding convertible subordinated
indebtedness. If issued, the Notes will be secured by a first lien on
substantially all of KOGC's proved crude oil and natural gas properties and
guaranteed by three entities wholly-owned by KOGC. The issuance of the Notes is
conditioned upon the completion of the transaction with Phillips noted in the
preceding paragraph and upon the completion of certain other conditions. There
can be no assurance that the issuance of the Notes will be consummated on such
terms, or at all. Following the issuance of the Notes, KOGC likely will not have
access to a revolving credit facility to supplement its cash needs and its
ability to incur additional indebtedness will be substantially limited.

         While industry conditions cannot be predicted with certainty and are
dependent upon a number of commodity and economic factors beyond its control,
KOGC believes the net cash proceeds from the Phillips transaction and issuance
of the Notes, if consummated, in conjunction with cash on hand and cash flow
from operations will be sufficient to provide adequate working capital and fund
its capital expenditure program during 1999. However, KOGC will continue to have
significant debt outstanding and industry conditions beyond its control may
adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         Cash and Cash Equivalents. The Partnership considers all highly liquid
investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to
be cash equivalents.

         Income Taxes. The income or loss of the Partnership for federal income
tax purposes is includable in the tax returns of the individual partners of the
Partnership. Accordingly, no recognition has been given to income taxes in the
accompanying financial statements.

         Oil and Gas Properties. Oil and gas properties are located in the
United States, and are held of record by Kelley Operating. The Partnership
utilizes the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas
operations. Under the successful efforts method, the costs of successful wells
and development dry holes are capitalized and amortized on a unit-of-production
basis over the life of the related reserves. Exploratory drilling costs are
initially capitalized pending determination of proved reserves but are charged
to expense if no proved reserves are found. Estimated future abandonment and
site restoration costs, net of anticipated salvage values, are taken into
account in depreciation, depletion and amortization.

         Property Impairment under FAS 121. Under Financial Accounting Standards
Board's Statement No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of' (SFAS 121"), certain assets are
required to be reviewed periodically for impairment whenever circumstances
indicate their carrying amount exceeds their fair value and may not be
recoverable. As a result of a decline in its proved reserves at January 1, 1999
from year-earlier levels, the Partnership performed an assessment of the fair
value of its oil and gas properties which indicated an impairment should be
recognized as of year end. Under this analysis, the fair value for the Company's
proved oil and gas properties was estimated using escalated pricing and present
value discount factors reflecting risk assessments. Based on this analysis, the
Company recognized a non-cash impairment charge of $466 thousand against the
carrying value of its proved oil and gas properties under SFAS 121, at December
31, 1998.

         Oil and Gas Revenues. The Partnership recognizes oil and gas revenue
from its interests in producing wells as oil and gas is produced and sold from
those wells. Oil and gas sold is not significantly different from the
Partnership's production entitlement.

          Net Income or Loss Per Unit. Net income or loss per Unit is computed
based on the weighted average number of Units outstanding during the period
divided into the net income or loss allocable to the Unitholders.



                                       25
<PAGE>   27

         Financial Instruments. The Partnership's financial instruments consist
of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and debt. As of December 31,
1998, the estimated fair value of the Partnership's debt approximated its
carrying value. The estimated fair values at December 31, 1998 were determined
using the borrowing rates available for debt with similar terms and maturities.

         Derivative Financial Instruments. From time to time, the Partnership
has entered into transactions in derivative financial instruments covering
future natural gas production principally as a hedge against natural gas price
declines. See Note 6 - "Hedging Activities" for a discussion of the
Partnership's accounting policies related to hedging activities.

         Comprehensive Income. In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS 130"). SFAS 130 establishes standards for reporting
and displaying comprehensive income and its components. SFAS 130 is effective
for periods beginning after December 15, 1997. The purpose of reporting
comprehensive income is to report a measure of all changes in equity of an
enterprise that results from recognized transactions and other economic events
of the period other than transactions with owners in their capacities as owners.
As of December 31, 1998, there are no adjustments ("Other Comprehensive Income")
to net income in deriving comprehensive income.

         Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers. Substantially
all of the Partnership's receivables are due from the marketing subsidiary of
Kelley Oil, which purchases approximately 80% of the Partnership's natural gas
for resale to a limited number of natural gas transmission companies and other
gas purchasers. To date, this concentration has not had a material adverse
effect on the financial condition of the Partnership.

         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 and disclosure of contingent 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 those estimates.

         Changes in Presentation. Certain financial statement items in 1996 and
1997 have been reclassified to conform to the 1998 presentation.

NOTE 3 - LONG-TERM DEBT

         In August 1994, one of the credit facilities maintained by Kelley Oil
was modified to add the Partnership as a borrower, and $6 million was advanced
to the Partnership to fund part of its drilling overexpenditures. The
Partnership's bank debt was subsequently replaced by a $6 million loan from
Kelley Oil (the "Initial Loan") funded with borrowings by Kelley Oil under a
credit facility. Interest has been paid by the Partnership based on Kelley's
borrowing cost resulting in an effective rate of 13.5% for 1996 and 10 3/8% for
1997 and 1998, respectively. On December 31, 1997, the interest rate for the
Initial Loan was reduced to 10 3/8% following the repayment of KOGC's 13 1/2%
Senior Notes, which were replaced by 10 3/8% Senior Subordinated Notes during
the fourth quarter.

         The Partnership maintains a policy of distributing cash which is not
required for the conduct of Partnership business to Unitholders on a quarterly
basis. To meet its financial obligations for drilling overexpenditures, the
Partnership suspended distributions commencing in October 1994 and reinstated a
quarterly distribution for only one quarter in 1995. The Partnership's operating
cash flows in 1996 were applied to pay interest on the Initial Loan and to
reduce unfunded payables for third party drilling overexpenditures. At December
31, 1998, $2,488,000 of the $6,000,000 Initial Loan remained outstanding. By
continuing to service its debt from operating cash flow, the Partnership expects
to further reduce the outstanding balance of the Initial Loan in 1999.

         KOGC's bank credit facility provides for a maximum $140 million
revolving credit loan and matures, with all amounts owed thereunder becoming due
and payable, effective December 1, 2000 ("the Credit Facility"). The Partnership
and Joint Venture are guarantors under the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility
is secured by all the oil and gas properties and other assets of KOGC and its
subsidiaries, including the Partnership and the Joint Venture. The 



                                       26
<PAGE>   28

agreement covering the Credit Facility provides various financial covenants as
well as restrictions on additional debt, mergers and asset sales, but limits the
lenders' recourse upon any default to Partnership and Joint Venture assets
attributable to Kelley Oil's interests in the Partnership. At December 31, 1998
the borrowing base was $117 million. See Note 1.

NOTE 4 - CASH DISTRIBUTIONS

         To enable to Partnership to fund part of its drilling and recompletion
expenditures in excess of contributed capital, distributions were suspended in
October 1994 and reinstated for only one quarter in 1995.
See Note 2 - Long-Term Debt.

NOTE 5 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         The Unitholders have a 96.04% share and the general partners a 3.96%
share in the costs and revenues of the Partnership. The Partnership reimburses
Kelley Oil for all direct costs incurred in managing the Partnership and all
indirect costs (principally general and administrative expenses) allocable to
the Partnership.

         Kelley Oil is reimbursed by the Partnership for costs directly
associated with acquisition, exploration and development activities. For the
years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, these costs aggregated $1,000,
zero and zero, respectively. The Partnership capitalized $1,000 in 1996 and zero
in 1997 and 1998, respectively, of allocated direct costs to oil and gas
properties.

         Overhead allocated to the Partnership by Kelley Oil for the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 related to general and administrative expenses
aggregated $227,000, $476,000 and $134,000, respectively.

         Substantially all gas sales of KOGC and its subsidiaries, including the
Partnership (collectively, "Kelley"), are made to an affiliated company,
Concorde Gas Marketing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Kelley Oil ("CGM"),
which remarkets gas to third parties. For 1996, 1997 and 1998, the fee was 2% of
the resale price for marketed natural gas.

NOTE 6 - HEDGING ACTIVITIES

         KOGC has periodically used forward sales contracts, natural gas price
swap agreements, natural gas basis swap agreements and options to reduce
exposure to downward price fluctuations on its natural gas production. KOGC does
not engage in speculative transactions. KOGC's hedging activities also cover the
oil and gas production attributable to the Partnership, including the interest
in such production of the public unitholders of the Partnership. During 1998,
the KOGC used price and basis swap agreements. Price swap agreements generally
provide for the Partnership to receive or make counterparty payments on the
differential between a fixed price and a variable indexed price for natural gas.
Basis swap agreements generally provide for the Partnership to receive or make
counterparty payments on the differential between a variable indexed price and
the price it receives from the sale of natural gas production, and are used to
hedge against unfavorable price movements in the relationship between such
variable indexed price and the price received for such production. Gains and
losses realized by the Partnership from hedging activities are included in oil
and gas revenues and average sales prices in the period that the related
production is sold.

         Through natural gas price swap agreements, approximately 49% of the
Partnership's natural gas production for 1998 was affected by its hedging
transactions at an average NYMEX quoted price of $2.31 per Mmbtu before
transaction and transportation costs. As of December 31, 1998, approximately 17%
of the Partnership's anticipated natural gas production for 1999 has been hedged
by natural gas price swap agreements at an average NYMEX quoted price of $2.36
per Mmbtu before transaction and transportation costs. As of February 28, 1998,
approximately 34% of the Partnership's anticipated natural gas production for
1999 has been hedged at an average NYMEX quoted price of $2.15 per Mmbtu before
transaction and transportation costs. As of December 31, 1998, approximately 52%
of the Partnership's anticipated natural gas production for 1999 has been hedged
by natural gas basis swap agreements for production from January 1999 through
September 1999. Hedging activities increased Partnership revenues by
approximately $50,000 in 1998 as compared to estimated revenues had no hedging
activities been conducted.



                                       27
<PAGE>   29

         The credit risk exposure from counterparty nonperformance on natural
gas forward sales contracts and derivative financial instruments is generally
the amount of unrealized gains under the contracts. The Partnership has not
experienced counterparty nonperformance on these agreements and does not
anticipate any in future periods.

         Standardized Measure. The following table of the Standardized Measure
of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows concerning the standardized measure of
future cash flows from proved oil and gas reserves are presented in accordance
with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69. As prescribed by this
statement, the amounts shown are based on prices and costs at the end of each
period, and with a 10% annual discount factor. Extensive judgments are involved
in estimating the timing of production and the costs that will be incurred
throughout the remaining lives of the fields. Accordingly, the estimates of
future net revenues from proved reserves and the present value thereof may not
be materially correct when judged against actual subsequent results. Further,
since prices and costs do not remain static, and no price or cost changes have
been considered, and future production and development costs are estimates to be
incurred in developing and producing the estimated proved oil and gas reserves,
the results are not necessarily indicative of the fair market value of estimated
proved reserves, and the results may not be comparable to estimates disclosed by
other oil and gas producers.

</TABLE>


         Future cash inflows are computed by applying year-end prices of oil and
gas to year-end quantities of proved oil and gas reserves. Future production and
development costs are computed by Kelley Oil's petroleum engineers by estimating
the expenditures to be incurred in developing and producing the Partnership's
proved oil and gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs and
assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.

         A discount factor of 10% was used to reflect the timing of future net
cash flows. The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is not
intended to represent the replacement cost or fair market value of the
Partnership's oil and gas properties.

         The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows as of
December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 was calculated using prices in effect as of
those dates, which averaged $25.36, $17.01 and $9.88, respectively, per barrel
of oil and $3.72, $2.49 and $2.06, respectively, per Mcf of natural gas.

ITEM 13.  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

         The Unitholders have a 96.04% share and the General Partners a 3.96%
share in the costs and revenues of the Partnership. Allocations of costs and
revenues to Unitholders are made in accordance with the number of Units owned.
The General Partners contributed $1,983,258 to the Partnership for their 3.96%
interest in the same proportion as the deferred subscriptions for Units were
payable.

         Kelley Oil is reimbursed for its direct costs and an allocable portion
of its general and administrative expenses incurred as Managing General Partner.
See Note 5 of the Notes to Financial Statements.

         It is the policy of the Partnership to engage in transactions with
related parties only on terms that are no less favorable to the Partnership than
could be obtained on an arm's-length basis from unrelated parties. The
Partnership believes that all payments to related parties are reasonable and in
amounts not greater than fees that would be charged on an arm's-length basis by
unrelated parties.
