Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The oil and gas industry is intensely competitive in all its phases. There is also competition between this industry and other industries in supplying energy and fuel requirements of industrial and residential 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 as filed by the Registrant, 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 contingent debts, liabilities or expenses for the conduct of the Partnership's business. As of September 30, 2000, the General Partners have distributed $1,828,700.50 or 11.65% of original 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 revenues (S.E.C. case) associated with such reserves, discounted at 10% as of December 31, 1999, was approximately $1,368,500 as compared to the discounted reserves as of December 31, 1998, which were approximately $1,009,000. Overall reservoir engineering is a subjective process of estimating underground accumulations of gas and oil that can not be measured 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
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 1983 for $13,400,000. Pursuant to terms of this contract, fifty-two wells have been drilled resulting in fifty-one producing wells and one dry hole.
The Partnership experienced a significant increase in its gas production and a very minor increase in its oil production, from 84,515 MCF and 1,447 BBLS in 1999 to 107,627 MCF and 1,590 BBLS in 2000. The increase in gas production is due to a succesful recompletion on the Bingham Unit 1052 initiated during the fourth quarter of 1999. The average price per MCF received for gas sold was $2.31 in 1999 and $3.29 in 2000. The Partnership's main income comes from gas production sold but can be influenced by changes to its oil income. The combination of higher gas production , stable oil production and higher average price per MCF and barrel resulted in an increase in operating revenue $216,064 in 1999 to $395,942 in 2000. During late 1999 and the year 2000, the operator determined that supplementary capital repairs were necessary to maintain various wells production. These repairs include well treatments, miscellaneous part replacements, location work, labor and roadwork to access the well site. Production expenses increased from $108,776 in 1999 to $172,790 in 2000. Production expenses, during 1999, were limited to normal maintenance and upkeep of the wells and well sites. The current production expenses are higher as a result of a combination of items, including variable costs associated with volume changes, repairs, and labor costs associated the supplementary repairs and recompletions.
Management continues to minimize third party costs and use in-house resources to provide efficient and timely services to the Partnership. The related party general and administrative expenses are charged in accordance with guidelines set forth in the Registrant's Management Agreement and are attributable to the affairs and operations of the Partnership and shall not exceed an annual amount equal to 5% of the Limited Partners' capital contributions. Amounts related to both 1999 and 2000 are substantially less than the amounts allocable to the Registrant under the Partnership Agreement.
The Partnership records additional depreciation, depletion and amortization to the extent that net capitalized costs exceed the undiscounted future net cash flows attributable to the Partnership properties. The Partnership was not required to revise the properties basis in 1999 or during the first nine months of 2000. The current depreciation was reasonable based upon the remaining basis in the Partnership properties.
