                              Notes to Financial Statements

1.      Accounting Policies 

        Reference is hereby made to the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 
        10-K for 1996, which contains a summary of major accounting policies 
        followed by the Partnership in the preparation of its financial
        statements.  These policies were also followed in preparing the 
        quarterly report included herein. 

2.      Basis of Presentation

        The Management of the Partnership believes that all adjustments 
        (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to a fair 
        statement of the results of such periods have been made.  The results
        of operations for the six months ended June 30, 1997 are not 
        necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. 

3.      Oil and Gas Properties

        Oil and Gas Properties are reported on the successful efforts method.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
        Results of Operations

        Liquidity and Capital Resources

             Operations will be conducted with available funds and revenues 
        generated from oil and gas activities.  No bank borrowings are 
        anticipated.

             The Partnership had net working capital at June 30, 1997 of
        $22,666.

             The Partnership's revenues from oil and gas sales will be 
        affected by changes in prices.  As a result of changes in federal
        regulations, gas prices are highly dependent on the balance between 
        supply and demand.  The Partnership's revenues from natural gas sales
        will be affected by changes in prices.  Natural gas prices are
        subject to general market conditions which drive the pricing changes.


        Results of Operations

        Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared with 1996

             Natural gas sales decreased approximately 39.0% during the 
        second quarter of 1997 compared with the same period in 1996 due to 
        lower sales volumes and average lower sales prices of natural gas.  
        While the partnership experienced a modest net income, depreciation, 
        depletion and amortization is a non-cash expense and and therefore 
        the Partnership distributed $61,154 to the partners during the second
        quarter of 1997.

        Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compare with 1996

             Natural gas sales decreased approximately 42.9% during the first 
        six months of 1997 compared with the same period in 1996 due to lower
        sales volumes and average lower sales prices of natural gas.  While 
        the partnership experienced a modest net income, depreciation, 
        depletion and amortization is a non-cash expense and therefore
        the partnership distributed $121,347 to the partners during the 
        first six months of 1997.
