Item 1. Business
General Development of Business
Moore's Lane Properties, Ltd. ("Registrant"), is a Tennessee limited partnership organized in December 1985, pursuant to the provisions of the Tennessee Uniform Limited Partnership Act, Chapter 2, Title 61, Tennessee Code Annotated, as amended. The General Partners of Registrant are W. Gerald Ezell and 222 Partners, Inc. The Partnership is a venturer in Moore's Lane Venture Associates (the "Joint Venture") and has controlling interest in this Joint Venture.
Registrant's primary business, as a consolidated entity with the Joint Venture, is to hold for investment certain undeveloped real property located in Franklin, Williamson County, Tennessee (the "Property"). Registrant's investment objectives are preservation of investment capital and appreciation of the value of the Property due to development of the immediately surrounding areas and the growth of the community generally.
Financial Information About Industry Segments
The Registrant's activity, investment in land, is within one industry segment and geographical area. Therefore, financial data relating to the industry segment and geographical area is included in Item 6 - Selected Financial Data.
Narrative Description of Business
As of December 31, 1995, the Joint Venture owned approximately 61 saleable acres of partially developed land in Franklin, Tennessee. The Property is held for resale. The Property is included in the 1,150 acre Cool Springs Corporate and Retail Center.
The majority of the Property development work was completed in 1991. This work included construction of the Cool Springs Interchange and Mallory Lane north of Cool Springs Boulevard. Mallory Lane North was relocated and improved from a two lane to a four-lane boulevard. South Springs Drive, which runs through the property, was constructed as a four-lane boulevard. During 1995, the General Partner began a new phase of development on the Property. This development, which was initiated by a sale in December 1995, includes (i) finishing Mallory Station Road through the Property with utilities and (ii) constructing two detention ponds. This development is expected to cost approximately $700,000, of which $358,000 was retained from the December sale.
Competition:
The Cool Springs Corporate and Retail Center is in various stages of development and is being developed for retail, office and mixed commercial uses similar to those considered suitable for the Property. Cool Springs Real Estate Associates, L.P. ("CSREA") owns much of the undeveloped land in the immediate vicinity of the Property. CSREA is an institutional real estate investor. Their asking prices are currently comparable to the Registrant's. There are several other competitive retail sites at the I-65 and Moore's Lane intersection, one mile north of the Cool Springs Boulevard intersection. However, the General Partner feels that the market can ultimately absorb all these sites and that the Registrant's low cost in its land will allow it to compete effectively.
An affiliate of the General Partner owns 65 acres in the immediate vicinity of the Property and therefore may have objectives similar to those of the Registrant. As a result, the Registrant is likely to be in competition for potential buyers of the Property with this affiliate. The General Partner believes that potential purchasers will survey all available property in making their decision, and their choice of location is generally made without regard to the ownership of the land.
The Registrant has no employees. Partnership management services are being provided under a contractual agreement with Landmark Realty Services Corporation, an affiliate of the General Partner.

PART II
Item 5.

Item 5. Market for Registrant's Units of Limited Partnership Interest and Related Security Holder Matters
There is no established market for the Units, and it is not anticipated that any will exist in the future. The Registrant commenced an offering to the public on April 22, 1986 of 7,500 Units of limited partnership interests. The offering of $7,500,000 was fully subscribed and closed on May 30, 1986. As of February 29, 1996, there were 565 holders of record of the 7,500 Units of limited partnership interests.
There are no material restrictions upon Registrant's present or future ability to make distributions in accordance with the provisions of Registrant's Limited Partnership Agreement.
Item 6.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Results of Operations
1995 Sales In February, the Registrant sold approximately 2.2 acres for approximately $682,000 in gross proceeds to a medical office user. In March, 3.3 acres were sold to a hotel developer for approximately $1,071,000. In November, 2.2 acres were sold to another hotel developer for approximately $583,000. In December, 6.8 acres were sold to a manufacturer for $445,000. From these sale proceeds, $1,650,000 was distributed to the partners, the $175,000 Note payable - private was retired and the remaining proceeds were retained for development and operating expenses.
1994 Sales
The Registrant sold approximately two acres for $428,000 to Saturn Corporation, who was expanding their original site purchased from the Registrant in 1992. Proceeds were used to reduce the Note Payable-Private.
1993 Sales
The Registrant sold 7.72 acres for $1,200,000 and reduced a $722,591 development obligation to a purchaser by transferring title to 1.7 acres. Sale proceeds were used to retire the Note payable to bank, to pay property taxes, and to fund certain site improvement on the sale site. The remaining proceeds were reserved to meet future operational needs.
Operations
Although there has been some variance between accounts, overall operations of the Registrant have not fluctuated significantly, except for the change in sales explained by the number of acres sold (14.5, 2 and 9.42 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively). Interest expense has declined through the years due to lower principal balances. Property tax payments have declined through the years due to reductions in land. The 1994 property tax expense included a $6,000 credit received from a 1993 sale. The increase in 1994 architect and engineering fees is due to the fees incurred in preparation for the car dealership sale in 1994 and the two 1995 sales.
Financial Condition
Development
During 1995, the General Partner began a new phase of development on the Property. This development was initiated by the sale to the manufacturer in 1995 but also benefits the surrounding area. This development includes finishing Mallory Station Road through the Property with utilities and constructing two detention ponds. This development is expected to costs approximately $700,000, of which $358,000 was retained from the sale in December 1995. The General Partner expects to fund the remaining development costs with proceeds from future sales.
Liquidity & Capital Resources
As of February 29, 1996, the Registrant has cash of approximately $60,000, which the General Partner believes is sufficient to meet operating needs for 1996.
Throughout 1995, W. Gerald Ezell, the Registrant's general partner, continued to operate under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The Bankruptcy court has approved Mr. Ezell's plan to liquidate his assets and satisfy his creditors. The plan includes the sale of Mr. Ezell's partnership interests, including his general partnership interest in the Registrant. In accordance with the partnership agreement, Mr. Ezell can sell his interest in profits, losses and distributions, but the purchaser does not assume his responsibilities as Managing General Partner. Therefore, upon the sale of Mr. Ezell's partnership interest, the general partner's interest will be converted into a special limited partner interest and his general partner responsibilities will be transferred to the remaining general partner.
In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed of (Statement 121). It requires that long-lived assets that are to be disposed of be reported at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. If quoted prices are not available, the estimated fair value is determined using the best information available. After implementation, any material impairments must be recorded to reflect an excess of the carrying amount over the estimated fair value.
Statement 121 is applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1995, and it will be implemented by the Registrant effective January 1, 1996. Implementation of Statement 121 is not expected to have a material impact on the financial statements of the Registrant.

Independent Auditors' Report
The Partners Moore's Lane Properties, Ltd.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Moore's Lane Properties, Ltd. (a limited partnership) and subsidiary as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, partners' equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated 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, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Moore's Lane Properties, Ltd. and subsidiary at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 9, the Partnership adopted in 1995 the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

(a) Organization
Moore's Lane Properties, Ltd. (the Partnership) was organized on December 10, 1985 as a Tennessee limited partnership to acquire and hold for investment approximately 174 acres of unimproved real property in Williamson County, Tennessee. On May 30, 1986, a public offering of limited partnership units closed whereby the Partnership issued 7,500 limited partnership units and the original limited partner withdrew. The General Partners are W. Gerald Ezell (see note 8) and 222 Partners, Inc.
(b) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Moore's Lane Properties, Ltd. and the accounts of a majority-owned joint venture. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
(c) Income Taxes
The Partnership prepares financial statements and Federal income tax returns on the accrual method and includes only those assets, liabilities and results of operations which relate to the business of the Partnership. No provision has or will be made for Federal or state income taxes since such taxes are the personal responsibility of the partners.
(d) Land Held for Investment
Land held for investment is recorded at cost and includes approximately 72 and 93 acres at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Of these amounts, management believes that 61 and 76 acres are sellable at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. Land costs include amounts to acquire and hold land, including interest and property taxes during the development period. Costs to hold land, including insurance and property taxes are charged to expense once development is substantially complete. Land improvement costs include development costs expended subsequent to the acquisition of the tract.

(6) Note Payable
On April 28, 1994, the Partnership entered into a $825,000 term loan agreement with a private lending source.

At December 31, 1995, the Partnership can make additional draws under the loan agreement in the amount of $300,000.

The note payable was due on February 3, 1995, and had no stated rate of interest. The note was secured by a deed of trust on certain of the Joint Venture's property.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(8) General Partner Bankruptcy
On February 25, 1991, W. Gerald Ezell, a general partner of the Partnership, elected to file for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. This election is designed to allow Mr. Ezell to satisfy his personal creditors in an orderly manner. The filing has no impact on the legal standing of the Partnership. Mr. Ezell has retained his role as an active general partner and continues to fulfill his general partner responsibilities.

For the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership made a distribution of $1,656,335. Of this amount, $1,650,000 ($220 per unit) was allocated to the limited partners and $6,335 was allocated to the general partner. There were no distributions in 1994 or 1993.
(10) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
At December 31, 1995, the Partnership had financial instruments including cash and cash equivalents of $156,971,restricted cash of $358,320, and accrued liabilities of $55,767. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value because of the short maturity of those financial instruments.

Item 1. Business.
Coastal 1986 Drilling Program, Ltd. ("Partnership") was a limited partnership organized under the laws of the State of Texas on October 18, 1985. Its General Partner is Coastal Limited Ventures, Inc. ("CLV"), a Texas corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Coastal Corporation ("Coastal"). The Partnership commenced operations on October 8, 1986.
The operations of the Partnership consisted of operating, through a joint venture ("Joint Venture") described below, gas and oil wells located in several regions of the United States, which resulted from the Partnership's exploration and development drilling program ("Program") completed in 1987.
The Partnership and CLV have no employees. None of the officers of CLV devotes full time to the activities of the Partnership.
Under the terms of the Agreement of Limited Partnership dated as of September 1, 1986 (the "Partnership Agreement") and the Joint Venture Agreement dated as of October 8, 1986 (the "Joint Venture Agreement"), both the Partnership and the Joint Venture terminated on January 1, 1996. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Joint Venture Agreement, upon dissolution, each gas and oil property will be sold or transferred to the Other Joint Venturer which assigned the property to the Joint Venture at a value determined by independent appraisal. After all Joint Venture assets have been liquidated and all Joint Venture obligations have been paid, the remaining cash in the Joint Venture will be distributed among the Joint Venturers. As among the Partners in the Partnership, the liquidating distribution will be distributed 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner. Final dissolution proceeds will be distributed to the Limited Partners in May 1996. During the dissolution phase of the Partnership, the General Partner shall act as liquidator and may be paid a reasonable fee for acting as such. The amounts determined by the independent appraisal which will be realized from the disposition of the remaining assets may differ materially from the amounts in the accompanying financial statements.
Joint Venture
The Joint Venture which conducted the operations of the Partnership was a Texas general partnership between the Partnership and three wholly-owned subsidiaries of Coastal. The Partnership was the managing partner of the Joint Venture. Coastal Oil & Gas Corporation, ANR Production Company and CIG Exploration, Inc. were the Other Joint Venturers, each of which is a direct or indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Coastal engaged primarily in gas and oil exploration and production activities.
The Other Joint Venturers contributed leasehold acreage having an agreed value of $6,300,000 to the Joint Venture to provide the drilling blocks ("Drilling Blocks") upon which the exploratory and development wells were drilled. The Partnership contributed $12,121,000 to the Joint Venture, including $12,000,000 from the public offering of 12,000 units of limited partnership interests ("Units"), which was expended for drilling, completing and equipping Program wells.
Crude oil and other liquid hydrocarbon production from Joint Venture wells was generally subject to a preferential right and option of the Other Joint Venturer to purchase such production at the higher of its posted field price or the average of the highest three prices being paid for similar production in the field. Production not sold to one of the Other Joint Venturers was sold at negotiated prices.
Most of the natural gas from Joint Venture wells was committed under contracts with pipeline companies. Contract prices for natural gas are subject to limitations under the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978. Gas production not committed was sold at negotiated prices.
- 1 -
During 1995, natural gas and crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids sales to Coastal subsidiaries and crude oil sales to Texaco Trading & Transportation and Koch Oil Company accounted for 57%, 21% and 12% of the Joint Venture's oil and gas sales.
Participation in Costs and Revenues
Information as to participation by the Partnership and Joint Venture in costs and revenues is set forth in Note 2 of Notes to Financial Statements included herein.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, CLV received administrative fee payments from the Partnership in lieu of allocating its administrative expenses as discussed in Note 4 of Notes to Financial Statements included herein.
Partnership Payout was achieved in October 1992. After payout, the Partnership's share of Joint Venture revenues and expenses was reduced to 40% from 90% and the Other Joint Venturers' share was increased to 60% from 10%.

Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder Matters.
The registrant had no common stock. Its ownership was represented by Units. There were 428 holders of Units as of December 31, 1995. There was no market for the Units as transfer of Units was restricted. Under the Partnership Agreement, Units were transferable only in the event of death, by operation of law, or by a natural person by gift to family members, i.e., parents, spouses, children and grandchildren or to a trust for the benefit of such family members. The General Partner was required to offer, by May 1st of each year, commencing in 1988 and ending in 1995, to repurchase Units as discussed in Note 5 of Notes to Financial Statements included herein.
Cash distributions to Limited Partners, which are paid quarterly, totaled $8.45 per $1,000 Unit for 1995, $30.95 for 1994 and $22.30 for 1993.

COMPENSATION AND EXECUTIVE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The following report has been provided by The Coastal Corporation's Compensation and Executive Development Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors in accordance with current S.E.C. proxy statement disclosure
- 8 -
requirements. The members of the Committee include John M. Bissell (Chairman), Roy D. Chapin, Jr., and Jerome S. Katzin.
This material states Coastal's current overall compensation philosophy and program objectives. Detailed descriptions of Coastal's compensation programs are provided as well as the information on Coastal's 1995 pay levels for the CEO.
Overall Objectives of the Executive Compensation Program
Coastal's compensation philosophy and program objectives are directed by two primary guiding principles. First, the program is intended to provide fully competitive levels of compensation - at expected levels of performance - in order to attract, motivate and retain talented executives. Second, the program is intended to create an alignment of interests between Coastal's executives and stockholders such that a significant portion of each executive's compensation is directly linked to maximizing stockholder value.
In support of this philosophy, the executive compensation program is designed to reward performance that is directly relevant to Coastal's short-term and long-term success. As such, Coastal attempts to provide both short-term and long-term incentive pay that varies based on corporate and individual performance.
To accomplish these objectives, the Committee has structured the executive compensation program with three primary underlying components: base salary, annual incentives, and long-term incentives (i.e., stock options). The following sections describe Coastal's plans by element of compensation and discuss how each component relates to Coastal's overall compensation philosophy.
In reviewing this information, reference is often made to the use of competitive market data as criteria for establishing targeted compensation levels. Coastal targets the market 50th percentile for its total compensation program and actual total compensation rates in 1995 were at or below the targeted level. (However, Coastal's competitive pay posture varies by pay element, as described below.) Several market data sources are used by Coastal, including energy industry norms for the publicly traded peer companies included in Coastal's shareholder return performance graph, as reflected in these companies' proxy statements. In addition, we utilize published survey data and data obtained from independent consultants that are for general industry companies similar in size (i.e., revenues) to Coastal. The published surveys include data on over 50 companies of comparable size to Coastal, as measured by revenues. Greater emphasis is placed on the published data and data obtained from consultants than on the data for proxy peers, since the published data and consulting data are reflective of company size.
Base Salary Program
Coastal's base salary program is based on a philosophy of providing base pay levels that fall between the market 50th and 75th percentiles. Coastal periodically reviews its executive pay levels to assure consistency with the external market. Generally, Coastal's actual base salary levels for 1995 for executives as a group were consistent with the targeted percentiles. We believe it is crucial to provide strongly competitive salaries over time in order to attract and retain executives who are highly talented.
Annual salary adjustments for Coastal are based on several factors: general levels of market salary increases, individual performance, competitive base salary levels, and Coastal's overall financial results. Coastal reviews performance qualitatively considering total shareholder returns, the level of earnings, return on equity, return on total capital and individual business unit performance. These criteria are assessed qualitatively and are not weighted. All base salary increases are based on a philosophy of pay-for-performance and perceptions of an individual's long-term value to Coastal. As a result, employees with higher levels of performance sustained over time will be paid correspondingly higher salaries.
- 9 -
The Annual Bonus Plan
Coastal's Annual Bonus Plan is intended to (1) reward key employees based on company/business unit and individual performance; (2) motivate key employees; and (3) provide competitive cash compensation opportunities to plan participants. Under the plan, target award opportunities vary by individual position and are expressed as a percent of base salary. The individual target award opportunities, which are slightly below market median levels, are then aggregated into a total target pool which is adjusted as described below. The amount a particular executive may earn is directly dependent on the individual's position, responsibility, and ability to impact our financial success.
The actual bonus pool is established each year by modifying the target pool based on Coastal's overall performance against measures established by the Committee. In fiscal year 1995, the key performance measure considered was earnings before interest and taxes ("EBIT") against plan. This measure was weighted 50% of the total bonus program. In 1995 Coastal's EBIT performance was above threshold standards (minimum performance level for bonus payment) but below a very aggressive plan, resulting in the EBIT portion of the bonus paid being below target. The remaining 50% of the annual bonus opportunity in 1995 is a discretionary annual bonus pool. As a result, no formula performance measures were used in establishing the size of awards under this portion of the plan. However, in establishing the size of the discretionary bonus pool, the Committee considered Coastal's Return on Equity relative to industry peers (using the same peers included in the shareholder return graph), Return on Total Capital compared to industry peers, the EBIT performance of each business unit, progress made toward improving Coastal's operational and financial performance, and the need to reward unique individual contributions. These measures were not formally weighted by the Committee. The size of the discretionary bonus pool element was established above threshold but below target based on the qualitative performance assessment described above. As a result, actual bonus payments for 1995 were below target and median market levels.
Individual awards from the established bonus pool are recommended by senior management, with advice and consent from the Committee. Individual awards from the pool are based on business unit and individual employee performance, future potential, and competitive considerations. All individual performance assessments are conducted in a non-formula fashion without specific goal weightings. The total bonus awards made may not exceed the amount of funds in the bonus pool.
Long-Term Incentive Plan
Coastal's Long-Term Incentive Plan ("LTIP") is designed to focus executive efforts on the long-term goals of Coastal and to maximize total return to our shareholders. While Coastal's LTIP allows the Committee to use a variety of long-term incentive devices, the Committee has relied solely on stock option awards to provide long-term incentive opportunities in recent years.
Stock options align the interests of employees and shareholders by providing value to the executive through stock price appreciation only. All stock options have a ten-year term before expiration and are fully exercisable within 7 years of the grant date.
Stock options were granted to the Named Executive Officers in 1995 and it is anticipated that stock option awards will be made periodically at the discretion of the Committee in the future. As in past years, the number of shares actually granted to a particular participant is also based on Coastal's financial success, its future business plans, and the individual's position and level of responsibility within Coastal. All of these factors are assessed subjectively and are not weighted.
1995 Chief Executive Officer Pay
As previously described, the Committee considers several factors in developing an executive's compensation package. For the CEO, these include competitive market practices (consistent with the philosophy described for other executives), experience, achievement of strategic goals, and the financial success of Coastal (considering the factors described under the annual bonus plan above).
- 10 -
O. S. Wyatt, Jr.
Mr. Wyatt served as CEO through October 4, 1995 when, at his recommendation, the Board of Directors elected Mr. Arledge to the CEO position.
Mr. Wyatt received no salary increase in 1995. The Committee took no action regarding Mr. Wyatt's base salary, in spite of significantly improved Coastal performance during the year. This lack of any adjustment is not a reflection of performance; rather, it is based on considering strong input from the Chairman, who wants to see continued improvement in shareholder returns before receiving any base salary increase.
Mr. Wyatt's bonus for 1995 performance was $300,000 payable in 1996. This bonus award was below targeted levels (and below market median levels) since Coastal's aggregate performance on the measures described in the annual bonus section of this report was below the aggressive Coastal targets.
The Committee granted no stock options to Mr. Wyatt in 1995 (consistent with past practices), considering his strongly expressed and longstanding opinion on this issue. Mr. Wyatt and the Committee considered Mr. Wyatt's current level of stock ownership in reaching this decision.
David A. Arledge
Mr. Arledge was elected CEO on October 5, 1995. During 1995, his base annual salary was increased to $625,000.
Mr. Arledge's bonus for 1995 was $300,000 payable in 1996. This award was below targeted levels (and below market median levels) since Coastal's aggregate performance on the measures described in the annual bonus section of this report were below the aggressive Coastal targets.
The Committee granted stock options for 50,000 shares to Mr. Arledge in 1995 in recognition of his performance and as an incentive to continue his efforts to increase shareholder value. These awards are tied to performance in that the executive only realizes income from stock options if the stock price rises. The grant is below market levels for the executive positions held by him.
$1 Million Pay Deductibility Cap
Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, public companies are precluded from receiving a tax deduction on compensation paid to executive officers in excess of $1 million. To address the $1 million pay deductibility cap issue, Coastal's 1995 LTIP is structured so that stock option awards (which are intended to be the primary long-term incentive vehicle for the present time) qualify for an exemption from the $1 million pay deductibility limit.
Also, at the present time, the Chairman of the Board of Directors and the CEO are the only executives whose base salary plus target bonus exceeds $1 million. In order to preserve Coastal's tax deduction for base salary plus bonus for these individuals, Coastal has established a nonqualified deferred compensation program. Under this program, any annual incentive awards that bring cash compensation to a level over $1 million may be deferred so that payments occur after the individual is no longer a Named Executive Officer, thus preserving the deductibility of the pay for Coastal.

Pension Plan
The following table shows for illustration purposes the estimated annual benefits payable currently under the Pension Plan and Coastal's Replacement Pension Plan described below upon retirement at age 65 based on the compensation and years of credited service indicated.
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended by subsequent legislation, limits the retirement benefits payable under the tax-qualified Pension Plan. Where this occurs, Coastal will provide to certain executives, including persons named in the Summary Compensation Table, additional nonqualified retirement benefits under a Coastal Replacement Pension Plan. These benefits, plus payments under the Pension Plan, will not exceed the maximum amount which Coastal would have been required to provide under the Pension Plan before application of the legislative limitations, and are reflected in the above table and footnote (B).

Transaction with Management and Others
In 1987, Coastal Mart, Inc. ("Coastal Mart"), a subsidiary of Coastal, entered into a ten-year lease/purchase agreement with Pester Marketing Company ("Pester Marketing") for 220 gasoline service stations (subsequently reduced to 182 stations through disposition of assets) located in the midwestern region of the United States. Jack Pester, a principal stockholder and Chief Executive Officer of Pester Marketing, subsequently became an employee, officer and director of Coastal Mart and was elected a Senior Vice President of Coastal. Mr. Pester is no longer active in the management of Pester Marketing, and his stock interest in that company has been placed in trust. In 1994, the lease transaction was terminated pursuant to an agreement under which Coastal Mart acquired ownership of and title to 175 of the gasoline service stations and Pester Marketing retained the seven remaining stations.
During 1995 Coastal and/or its subsidiaries sold approximately 13,447,600 gallons of gasoline to Pester Marketing at prevailing market prices totaling approximately $8,352,300.

MANAGEMENT'S REVIEW
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Effective January 1, 1996, the Partnership terminated in accordance with the provisions for dissolution set forth in the Partnership Agreement as summarized in Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements. Final dissolution proceeds will be distributed in May 1996.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Annual changes shown in this discussion are in comparison with the year immediately preceding.
Production
Natural gas production decreased 139 million cubic feet (43%) in 1995 and increased 170 million cubic feet (111%) in 1994. The decrease in 1995 was primarily attributable to decreased production from the Bitter Creek Field in Utah due to market conditions in the area. The 1994 increase was primarily due to an increase from the Bitter Creek Field in Utah due to improved marketing alternatives in the area and to prior maintenance activities in the field.
Production of crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids decreased 1,353 barrels (9%) in 1995 and 2,237 barrels (12%) in 1994. The reductions in 1995 and 1994 were primarily due to normal production declines.
Revenues
Revenues from the sale of production decreased $350,000 (43%) in 1995 and increased $202,000 (33%) in 1994.
Natural gas revenues decreased $347,000 (59%) in 1995 and increased $280,000 (92%) in 1994. The reduction in 1995 was attributable to a decrease in production volumes and a lower net weighted average price. The 1994 increase was due to increased production volumes, partially offset by a lower net weighted average price.
Crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids revenues decreased $3,000 (1%) in 1995 and $78,000 (25%) in 1994. The 1995 decrease was due to a decrease in production volumes, partially offset by a higher net weighted average price. The decrease in 1994 was due to a decrease in production volumes and a lower net weighted average price.
Interest income decreased $8,000 (100%) in 1995 and $1,000 (11%) in 1994 due primarily to varying levels of cash available for investment purposes.
Operating Expenses
Lease operating expenses decreased $88,000 (26%) in 1995 and increased $94,000 (38%) in 1994. The decrease in 1995 was primarily attributable to decreased production taxes. The increase in 1994 was primarily due to increased production taxes and maintenance expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased $191,000 (37%) in 1995 and $198,000 (27%) in 1994. The decrease in 1995 was primarily due to decreased equivalent production volumes, a decreased rate and reduced carrying value charges. The 1994 decrease was primarily a result of decreased carrying value charges and a decreased rate, partially offset by increased production volumes. Non-cash charges of $165,000, $231,000 and $489,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, were recorded so that the net investment in gas and oil properties would not exceed the estimated
future net revenues from proved reserves, computed at prices at the end of the reported period, and discounted at 10% as required under the full-cost method of accounting for gas and oil properties.
Cash Distributions
Cash distributions to Limited Partners since commencement of operations were (December distribution is made in the subsequent February):
The 1991 fourth quarter distribution includes proceeds attributable to the sale of Program wells in the Roaring Fork Field in Virginia and Kentucky.
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners of Coastal 1986 Drilling Program, Ltd. Houston, Texas
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Coastal 1986 Drilling Program, Ltd. (a Texas limited partnership) as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements of partners' capital, operations and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995. 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 Coastal 1986 Drilling Program, Ltd. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the Financial Statements, both the Partnership and the Joint Venture terminated on January 1, 1996, under the terms of the Partnership Agreement and the Joint Venture Agreement. The amounts determined by the independent engineer which will be realized from the disposition of the remaining assets may differ materially from the amounts in the accompanying financial statements.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Basis of Presentation
Coastal 1986 Drilling Program, Ltd. (the "Partnership") commenced operations on October 8, 1986, as a Texas limited partnership to participate in drilling development and exploratory wells located in the United States on leasehold acreage held by subsidiaries of The Coastal Corporation ("Coastal"). The Partnership was funded primarily through the sale of 12,000 Limited Partnership Units providing $12,000,000. Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner, Coastal Limited Ventures, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coastal, incurred all costs of organizing the Partnership and contributed 1% of the total capital, or $121,000, as general partner capital.
The drilling operations were conducted through a joint venture in the form of a Texas general partnership (the "Joint Venture") between the Partnership and three wholly-owned subsidiaries of Coastal ("Other Joint Venturers"). For financial reporting purposes, the Partnership's investment in such venture was accounted for by consolidating its share of the operating results of the venture.
All costs and revenues of the Partnership were allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners. Net loss per Limited Partnership Unit was calculated by dividing the net loss attributable to Limited Partners by the 12,000 units outstanding.
Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement and the Joint Venture Agreement, both the Partnership and the Joint Venture terminated effective January 1, 1996. In accordance with the terms and conditions of the dissolution, each gas and oil property will be sold or transferred to the Other Joint Venturer which assigned the property to the Joint Venture at a value determined by independent appraisal (see "Partnership Interest in Proved Reserves" on page). After all Joint Venture assets have been liquidated and all Joint Venture obligations have been paid, the remaining cash in the Joint Venture will be distributed among the Joint Venturers. As among the Partners in the Partnership, the liquidating distribution will be distributed 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner in May 1996. The amounts determined by the independent appraisal which will be realized from the disposition of the remaining assets may differ materially from the amounts in the accompanying financial statements.
Statement of Cash Flows
Cash equivalents include time deposits, certificates of deposit and all highly liquid instruments with original maturities of three months or less.
Gas and Oil Properties
The Partnership followed the full-cost method of accounting for gas and oil properties. Under this method, all costs incurred in the exploration and development of gas and oil properties, including unproductive wells, were capitalized. Depreciation and amortization of gas and oil properties was provided on the unit-of-production basis whereby the unit rate was determined by dividing the total unrecovered carrying value of all gas and oil properties by the estimated proved reserves included therein, as estimated by an independent engineer, adjusted so that the net investment in gas and oil properties did not exceed the estimated future net revenues from proved reserves, computed at prices at the end of the reported period, discounted at 10%. In 1995, 1994 and 1993, such additional depreciation and amortization expense of $165,000, $231,000 and $489,000, respectively, was recorded. The depreciation and amortization rates, excluding the adjustments, amounted to $0.56, $0.70 and $0.89 per equivalent unit of a thousand cubic feet of natural gas production during 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
No property acquisition costs were recorded by the Partnership since all drilling blocks were contributed to the Joint Venture by the Other Joint Venturers. Development costs incurred by the Partnership during 1995, 1994 and 1993 were $38,000, $12,000 and $12,000, respectively. These development costs were attributable to capitalized well maintenance activities and abandonments, net of salvage.
Taxes
No provision for income tax expense is reflected in the financial statements since the income and deductions of the Partnership are reported on the separate tax returns of the individual partners. State severance taxes are classified as lease operating expenses.
Note 2. Participation in Costs And Revenues
Under the terms of the Partnership and Joint Venture Agreements, revenues, costs and expenses were allocated on the following basis:
All costs and revenues of the Partnership were allocated 1% to the General Partner and 99% to the Limited Partners.
Note 3. Partnership Payout
Partnership Payout is defined in the Partnership Agreement as the close of business on the last day of the calendar month during which revenues from the sale of production less operating costs of the Joint Venture allocated to the Partnership and less amounts applied to pay in full the principal of, and interest on, the Joint Venture Note plus gains on the sale or other disposition of Joint Venture assets credited to the capital account of the Partnership plus interest earned after October 8, 1986 (effective date of operations), by the Partnership plus any contributions distributed pro rata to the Partners as a return of capital, first equal the sum of $12,121,000 plus Permitted Excess Drilling Costs. Partnership Payout was achieved in October 1992.
Note 4. Transactions With Related Parties
Accounts with Affiliated Companies
The accounts receivable - affiliates and accounts payable - affiliates balances are with the General Partner and Other Joint Venturers, and result from provisions of the Partnership Agreement, Joint Venture Agreement and transactions in the ordinary course of business as more fully explained in the following paragraphs.
Fee to General Partner
Under terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner was entitled to an annual fee (paid in quarterly installments) of $400,000 in 1986, $300,000 in 1987 and $200,000 in each year from 1988 through 1995 in lieu of general and administrative overhead costs. The cumulative amount of such fee paid at any point in time could not exceed 15% of the Partnership's cumulative revenues received up to and including that point in time, with any remaining balance due carried forward and paid in subsequent quarters. However, the General Partner reduced the management fee to $81,000 for each of the years 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, as a result of a restructuring of the fee by the
General Partner. Fees paid to the General Partner totaled $58,000, $82,000 and $80,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. As of December 31, 1995, there was a remaining balance of $44,000 payable to the General Partner.
Balances with Other Joint Venturers
Such balances arose in the normal course of business from advance payments or billings for development and exploratory drilling activities, the sale of gas and oil production, and the operating costs of producing wells. In 1995, 1994 and 1993, two unrelated companies accounted for more than 10% of gas and oil sales from the Joint Venture. The Partnership's share of these sales was $154,000, $290,000 and $229,000 in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively. All costs and revenues were allocated to the respective parties as indicated in Note 2.
Sales to Affiliated Companies
During 1995, 1994 and 1993, sales of natural gas amounting to $196,000, $289,000 and $223,000, respectively, and sales of crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids amounting to $69,000, $67,000 and $76,000, respectively, were made to Coastal subsidiaries at market value.
Note 5. Repurchase of Partnership Units
During the 1995 repurchase period, 415 of the 10,152 eligible units were tendered by Limited Partners and were purchased by the General Partner. In 1994, 516 units were tendered and purchased. As of December 31, 1995, the General Partner held 2,263 of the 12,000 units outstanding.
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION ON EXPLORATION, DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION ACTIVITIES (Unaudited)
Introduction
This section presents information on Partnership and Joint Venture costs, revenues, reserves and estimates of future gas and oil operations. The estimates of gas and oil reserves and future net cash flows from gas and oil production were prepared by independent engineers, Huddleston & Co., Inc., Houston, Texas.
Total Costs
Total costs shown in the following tables were allocated as indicated in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements. (Thousands of Dollars)
Total Revenues
Total revenues for the cumulative period October 8, 1986 (effective date of operations), to December 31, 1995, and for the year ended December 31, 1995, are shown in the following tables. Revenues were allocated as indicated in Note 2 to the accompanying financial statements. (Thousands of Dollars).
Partnership Interest in Proved Reserves
Presented below are the quantities associated with the Partnership's interest in estimated proved reserves as of December 31, 1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995. Also included are the changes in net quantities for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995. Natural gas is stated in millions of cubic feet. Oil includes condensate and natural gas liquids and is stated in barrels.
Presented below is an estimate of the Partnership's interest at December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, in future net cash flows from the Joint Venture proved reserves, a standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows, and the commensurate standardized measure per Limited Partnership Unit. (Thousands of Dollars except per Limited Partnership Unit)
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows per Limited Partnership Unit is calculated in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission regulations and should not be construed as the liquidation price of units as described in Note 1 of Notes to Financial Statements included herein.
The Partnership's interest in the net quantities of gas and oil reserves and the Partnership's interest in the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows for 1995, 1994 and 1993, were calculated by the independent engineers using a discount factor of 10%. The upward revision attributed to oil in 1995 was primarily due to the production of various wells exceeding previously recognized quantity estimates.
In the opinion of the General Partner, the above estimates do not necessarily represent the current value of the reserves or of future net cash flows which may reasonably be expected to be realized from future production.
