ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(1) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Six months ended June 30, 1999 compared with six months ended June 30, 1998 Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 15% to $243,058 from $286,777 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received and declines in production. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, 12,583 barrels of oil, 5,365 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 24,988 mcf of gas were sold, or 22,113 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30, 1998, 15,550 barrels of oil, 5,243 barrels of NGLs and 23,042 mcf of gas were sold, or 24,633 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil decreased 5% from $13.98 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $13.27 for the same period in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased 13% from $6.83 during the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $7.72 for the same period in 1999. The average price received per mcf of gas decreased 5% to $1.39 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $1.46 for the same period in 1998. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the six months ended June 30, 1999. The volatility of commodity prices has had, and continues to have, a significant impact on the Partnership's revenues and operating cash flow and could result in additional decreases to the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas properties. Gain on disposition of assets of $14,551 and $2,161 was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The gain recognized during the period in 1999 was due to equipment credits received on fully depleted wells. The gain recognized during the period in 1998 resulted from equipment credits on wells plugged and abandoned in the prior year. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $249,409 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $270,038 for the same period in 1998, a decrease of $20,629, or 8%. This decrease was due to reductions in production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by increases in abandoned property costs and depletion. Production costs were $172,633 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and $207,645 for the same period in 1998, resulting in a $35,012 decrease, or 17%. The decrease was primarily attributable to declines in well maintenance costs, production taxes and ad valorem taxes. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased, in aggregate, 15% from $8,603 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, to $7,292 for the same period in 1999. Depletion was $54,871 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to $51,767 for the same period in 1998, an increase of $3,104, or 6%. This increase was primarily due to reserve revisions on a significant well, offset by a reduction in oil production of 2,967 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998. Abandoned property costs of $14,613 and $2,023 incurred during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively, were related to wells plugged and abandoned during 1998.

The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the six months ended June 30, 1999. The volatility of commodity prices has had, and continues to have, a significant impact on the Partnership's revenues and operating cash flow and could result in additional decreases to the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas properties. Gain A gain on disposition of assets of $14,551 and $2,161 5,435 was recognized received during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The gain recognized during 1998 from the period in 1999 was due to sale of equipment credits received on fully depleted wells.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(1) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Six months ended June 30, 1999 compared with six months ended June 30, 1998 Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 1521% to $243,058 194,872 from $286,777 246,176 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received and declines in production. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, 12,583 10,144 barrels of oil, 5,365 5,069 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 24,988 22,550 mcf of gas were sold, or 22,113 18,971 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30, 1998, 15,550 12,102 barrels of oil, 5,243 5,715 barrels of NGLs and 23,042 25,765 mcf of gas were sold, or 24,633 22,111 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil decreased 5% $1.15, or 8%, from $13.98 14.08 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $13.27 12.93 for the same period in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased 13% slightly from $6.83 6.70 during the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $7.72 6.84 for the same period in 1999.

The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the six months ended June 30, 1999. The volatility of commodity prices has had, and continues to have, a significant impact on the Partnership's revenues and operating cash flow and could result in additional decreases to the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas properties. Gain on disposition of assets of $14,551 and $2,161 was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The gain recognized during the period in 1999 was due to equipment credits received on fully depleted wells.

Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $249,409 177,985 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 as compared to $270,038 201,819 for the same period in 1998, a decrease of $20,62923,834, or 812%. This decrease was due to the result of reductions in depletion, production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by increases in abandoned property costs and depletion. Production costs were $172,633 122,130 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and $207,645 130,525 for the same period in 1998, resulting in a decrease of $35,012 decrease8,395, or 176%. The decrease was primarily , attributable to declines in well maintenance costs, workover costs and production taxes and ad valorem taxes. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased, in aggregate, 1521% from $8,603 7,385 for the six months ended June 30, 1998, 1998 to $7,292 5,846 for the same period in 1999.

This decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in proved reserves during the period ended June 30, 1999 as a result of higher commodity prices, a reduction in oil production of 1,013 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998 and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.
