Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
1. Liquidity -
The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. There is also competition among this industry and other industries in supplying energy and fuel requirements of industrial and individual consumers. It is not possible for the Registrant to calculate its position in the industry as Registrant competes with many other companies having substantially greater financial and other resources. In accordance with the terms of the Prospectus, the General Partners of the Registrant will make cash distributions of as much of the Partnership cash, credited to the capital accounts of the Partners, as the General Partners have determined is not necessary or desirable for the payment of any contingent debts, liabilities or expenses or for the conduct of the Partnership's business. As of June 30, 2000, the General partners have distributed to the Limited partners $1,402,512 or 9.76%of the total Limited Partner capital contributions to the Limited partners.
The net proved oil and gas reserves of the Partnership are considered to be a primary indicator of financial strength and future liquidity. The present value of unescalated future net revenue (S.E.C. case) associated with such reserves, discounted at 10% as of December 31, 1999 was approximately $936,729, as compared to December 31, 1998, of about $768,500. Overall reservoir engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of gas and oil that can not be measure in an exact manner. The accuracy of any reserve estimate is a function of the quality of available data and of the engineering and geological interpretation and judgment. Accordingly, reserve estimates are generally different from the quantities of gas and oil that are ultimately recovered and such differences may have a material impact on the Partnership's financial results and future liquidity.
<page> 3
2. Capital Resources -
The Registrant was formed for the sole intention of drilling oil and gas wells. The Registrant entered into a drilling contract with an independent contractor in December 1982 for $11,400,000. Pursuant to the terms of this contract, fifty-one wells have been drilled resulting in fifty producing wells and one dry hole. The Registrant has had a reserve report prepared which details reserve value information, and such information is available to the Limited Partners pursuant to the buy-out provisions of the Prospectus as previously filed.
3. Results of Operations -
The Partnership's operating revenues increased from $88,407 in 1999 to $166,435 in 2000. The average price per MCF in 1999 was $2.10 compared to $3.06 in 2000. Also gas production went from 38,031 MCF in 1999 to 47,444 MCF in 2000. The gas production for 2000 was normal with very little change within the first half of 2000. During 1999,a substantial portion of the Partnership's production was shut-in for the full month of June 1999 due to required maintenance of the gas transporter's pipeline. The Partnership does not produce a substantial amount of oil but during 2000 the partnership has benefited from higher average oil prices for production sold. These higher oil and gas prices combined with stable production resulted in the increased overal revenue received. Production expenses increased from $53,748 in 1999 to $72,066 in 2000. . Production expenses can be variable in nature relating to the volumes produced. Variable costs were reasonable based upon current production volumes in both years. Production expenses also include other direct costs which include, but are not limited to , labor, chemicals, and repairs to access the well sites. The funds expended, in both years, were reasonable.
Overall general and administrative expenses increased slightly from 1999 to 2000. All related party expenses charged are in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the Registrant's Management Agreement. PEMC is reimbursed expenses attributable to the affairs and operations of the Partnership. These costs shall not exceed an annual amount equal to 5% of Limited Partner capital contributions. Amounts related to both 1999 and 2000 are substantially less than the amounts allocable to the Registrant under the Partnership Agreement. PEMC continues to perform these functions as cost effectively as possible either through efficient use of in-house resources or using third parties when applicable.
The Partnership records additional depreciation, depletion and amortization to the extent that net capitalized costs exceed the undercounted future net cash flows attributable to the Partnership properties. The Partnership was not required to revise the property basis in either 1999 or first half 2000. Depletion, depreciation and amortization expense was consistent with the current property basis and the rates applied.
PART II
Items 1 through 5 have been omitted in that each item is either Inapplicable or the answer is negative.
