PDC 1996-D LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

(A West Virginia Limited Partnership)

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

 

 

1. Accounting Policies

Reference is hereby made to the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 1998, which contains a summary of significant 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, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

3. Oil and Gas Properties

The Partnership follows the successful efforts method of accounting for the cost of exploring for and developing oil and gas reserves. Under this method, costs of development wells, including equipment and intangible drilling costs related to both producing wells and developmental dry holes, and successful exploratory wells are capitalized and amortized on an annual basis to operations by the units-of-production method using estimated proved developed reserves determined at year end by an independent petroleum engineer. If a determination is made that an exploratory well has not discovered economically producible reserves, then its costs are expensed as dry hole costs.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership was funded on December 31, 1996 with initial Limited and Additional General Partner contributions of $15,301,726 and the Managing General Partner contributed $3,328,126 in accordance with the Agreement. Syndication and management fee costs of $1,989,224 were incurred leaving available capital of $16,640,628 for Partnership activities.

The Partnership began exploration and development activities subsequent to the funding of the Partnership and completed well drilling activities by March 31, 1997. Eighty-five wells have been drilled, of which eighty have been completed as producing wells.

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, 1999 of $141,617.

The Partnership's revenues from oil and gas 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 gas sales prices are subject to increase and decrease based on various market sensitive indices.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared with 1998

Natural gas sales decreased approximately 40.1% during the second quarter of 1999 compared with the same period in 1998 due to lower sales volumes and average sale price. While the Partnership experienced a modest net income, depreciation, depletion and amortization is a non-cash expense and therefore the Partnership distributed $108,759 to the partners during the second quarter of 1999.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1999 Compared with 1998

Natural gas sales decreased approximately 46.9% during the first six months of 1999 compared with the same period in 1998 primarily due to lower sales volumes and average sales price. While the Partnership experienced a modest net income, depreciation, depletion and amortization is a non-cash expense and therefore the Partnership distributed $298,101 to the partners during the first six months of 1999.

Year 2000 Issue

State of Readiness

The Year 2000 Issue is the risk that computer programs using two-digit data fields will fail to properly recognize the year 2000, with the result being business interruption due to computer system failures by PDC's software or hardware or that of government entities, service providers and vendors. PDC, who administers all aspects of the Partnership, has assessed the extent of the Year 2000 Issues affecting PDC and the Partnership. PDC believes that the new computer system including operating software installed during 1998 along with modifications made by PDC's computer technicians have addressed the dating system flaw inherent in most operating systems. PDC has completed a remediation plan and believes it is currently fully Year 2000 compliant.

PDC has initiated formal communications with its significant suppliers and service providers to determine the extent to which PDC may be vulnerable to their failure to correct their own Year 2000 issues. It is expected that full identification will be completed by September 30, 1999. To the extent that responses to Year 2000 readiness are unsatisfactory, PDC intends to take appropriate action, including identifying alternative suppliers and service providers who have demonstrated Year 2000 readiness.

Cost of Readiness

PDC does not currently expect to charge the Partnership for any portion of PDC's cost to become Year 2000 compliant.

Risks of Year 2000 Issues

PDC presently believes the Year 2000 Issue will not present a materially adverse risk to PDC's or the Partnership's future results of operations, liquidity, and capital resources. However, if the level of the timely compliance by key suppliers or service providers is not sufficient, the Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on PDC's or the Partnership's operations including, but not limited to, increased operating costs, loss of customers or suppliers, loss of accounting functions, including well revenue distributions, or other significant disruptions to PDC's or the Partnership's business.

Contingency Plan

PDC has a contingency plan, and will implement it on any system that remains non-compliant at December 31, 1999, if any.
