MAY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP 1983-3
NOTE TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - GENERAL
The financial statements presented are those of May Limited Partnership 1983-3
(the "Partnership"). The interim financial data are unaudited; however, in the
opinion of the general partner, the interim data include all adjustments,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
presentation of the results for the interim periods. These financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in the Partnership's December 31, 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership generated $516,000 of cash flow from operating activities during
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and distributed $503,000 to partners. A
distribution payable to partners of record as of September 30, 1998 was declared
in July 1998. The distribution amount is $170,000 payable $97,750 to May
Drilling Partnership 1983-3 partners and $72,250 to the general partner. Future
distributions are dependent on future prices for the Partnership's production
and the production level of the Partnership's remaining oil and gas reserves.
Year 2000 Update
General. The Year 2000 problem has arisen because many existing computer
programs use only the last two digits to refer to a year. Therefore, these
computer programs do not properly recognize and process date sensitive
information beyond 1999. In general, there are two areas where Year 2000
problems may exist for the Partnership: information technology such as
computers, programs and related systems ("IT") and non-information technology
systems such as embedded technology on a silicon chip ("Non IT").
The Plan. The Partnership's Year 2000 Plan (the "Plan") has four phases: (i)
assessment, (ii) inventory, (iii) remediation, testing and implementation and
(iv) contingency plans. Approximately twelve months ago, the Partnership began
its phase one assessment of its particular exposure to problems that might arise
as a result of the new millennium. The assessment phase has been substantially
completed and has identified the Partnership IT systems that must be updated or
replaced in order to be Year 2000 compliant. In particular, the software used by
the Partnership for reservoir engineering must be updated or replaced. The
inventory phase of the Plan is currently underway and is expected to be
completed by December 31, 1998. Remediation, testing and implementation are
scheduled to be completed by June 30, 1999, and the contingency plans phase of
the Plan is scheduled to be completed by September 30, 1999.
To date, the Partnership has determined that its IT systems are either compliant
or can be made compliant without material cost. However, the effects of the Year
2000 problem on IT systems are exacerbated because of the interdependence of
computer systems in the United States. The Partnership's assessment of the
readiness of third parties whose IT systems might have an impact on the
Partnership's business has thus far not indicated any material problems; the
process of inquiring of third parties and reviewing their responses is underway
but is not complete.
With regard to the Partnership's Non IT systems, the Partnership believes that
most of these systems can be brought into compliance on schedule. The
Partnership's assessment of third party readiness is not yet completed. Because
Non IT systems are embedded chips, it is difficult to determine with complete
accuracy where all such systems are located. As part of its Plan, the
Partnership is making formal and informal inquiries of its vendors, customers
and transporters in an effort to determine the third party systems that might
have embedded technology requiring remediation.
Estimated Costs. Although it is difficult to estimate the total costs of
implementing the Plan through January 1, 2000 and beyond, the Partnership's
preliminary estimate is that such costs will not be material. However, although
management believes that its estimates are reasonable, there can be no
assurance, for the reasons stated in the next paragraph, that the actual cost of
implementing the Plan will not differ materially from the estimated costs.
Potential Risks. The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could
result in an interruption in, or a failure of, certain normal business
activities or operations. This risk exists both as to the Partnership's IT and
Non IT systems, as well as to the systems of third parties. Such failures could
materially and adversely affect the Partnership's results of operations, cash
flow and financial condition. Due to the general uncertainty inherent in the
Year 2000 problem, resulting in part from the uncertainty of the Year 2000
readiness of third party suppliers, vendors and transporters, the Partnership is
unable to determine at this time whether the consequences of Year 2000 failures
will have a material impact on the Partnership's results of operations, cash
flow or financial condition. Although the Partnership is not currently able to
determine the consequences of Year 2000 failures, its current assessment is that
its area of greatest potential risk is in connection with the transporting and
marketing of the oil and gas produced by the Partnership. The Partnership is
contacting the various purchasers and pipelines with which it regularly does
business to determine their state of readiness for the Year 2000. The
Partnership's Year 2000 Plan is expected to significantly reduce the
Partnership's level of uncertainty about the compliance and readiness of these
material third parties. The evaluation of third party readiness will be followed
by the Partnership's development of contingency plans.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
In the interest of providing the partners with certain information regarding the
Partnership's future plans and operations, certain statements set forth in this
Form 10-Q relate to management's future plans and objectives. Such statements
are forward-looking statements. Although any forward-looking statements
contained in this Form 10-Q or otherwise expressed by or on behalf of the
Partnership are, to the knowledge and in the judgment of the officers and
directors of the general partner, expected to prove true and come to pass,
management is not able to predict the future with absolute certainty.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties
which may cause the Partnership's actual performance and financial results in
future periods to differ materially from any projection, estimate or forecasted
result. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, volatility of
oil and gas prices, competition, risks inherent in the Partnership's oil and gas
operations, the inexact nature of interpretation of seismic and other geological
and geophysical data, imprecision of reserve estimates, the Partnership's
ability to replace and expand oil and gas reserves, and such other risks and
uncertainties described from time to time in the Partnership's periodic reports
and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, the dates
for completion of the phases of the Year 2000 Plan are based on the
Partnership's best estimates, which were derived using numerous assumptions of
future events. Due to the general uncertainty inherent in the Year 2000 problem,
resulting in part from the uncertainty of the Year 2000 readiness of
third-parties and the interconnection of computer systems, the Partnership
cannot ensure its ability to timely and cost-effectively resolve problems
associated with the Year 2000 issue that may affect its operations and business.
Accordingly, partners are cautioned that certain events or circumstances could
cause actual results to differ materially from those projected, estimated or
predicted.
Results of Operations
Third Quarter 1998 Compared to Third Quarter 1997
Gas Revenue
Gas revenue decreased $31,000 during the third quarter of 1998 compared to the
third quarter of 1997, as the result of a decrease in price and a decrease in
production. The average gas price decreased from $2.45 per mcf in 1997 to $2.10
per mcf in 1998. Gas production decreased 2% primarily due to normal production
declines.
Oil Revenue
Oil revenues decreased $10,000 during the third quarter of 1998 compared to the
third quarter of 1997. The average oil price decreased from $19.24 per barrel in
1997 to $12.22 per barrel in 1998, and oil production decreased 1% primarily due
to normal production declines.
Lease Operating
Lease operating expense decreased $1,000 during the third quarter of 1998
compared to the third quarter of 1997 due to decreased production taxes
resulting from decreased production discussed above.
General and Administrative
General and administrative expense decreased $3,000 during the third quarter of
1998 compared to the third quarter of 1997 due to a decrease in the allocation
of overhead from the general partners.
Litigation Settlement
Litigation settlement expense during the third quarter of 1997 represents
amounts incurred to settle property related claims.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 1998 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September
30, 1997
The comparisons for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and the nine months
ended September 30, 1997 are consistent with those discussed in the third
quarter 1998 compared to the third quarter of 1997 except for the following:
Gas Revenue
Gas revenue increased $39,000 during the first nine months of 1998 compared to
the corresponding period in 1997 due to an increase in production, partially
offset by a decrease in price. Gas production increased 22% because two
temporarily shut-in wells were back on line. The two wells were temporarily
shut-in while workover procedures were performed during the third quarter of
1997. The average gas price decreased from $2.65 per mcf in 1997 to $2.34 per
mcf in 1998.
Oil Revenue
Oil revenue decreased $16,000 during the first nine months of 1998 compared to
the corresponding period in 1997 due to a decrease in the average oil price,
partially offset by an increase in production. The average oil price decreased
from $20.28 per barrel in 1997 to $13.72 per barrel in 1998. Oil production
increased 15% because two temporarily shut-in wells were back on line. The two
wells were temporarily shut-in while to workover procedures were performed
during the third quarter of 1997.
Lease Operating
Lease operating expense increased $13,000 during the first nine months of 1998
compared to the first nine months of 1997 due to increased production taxes
resulting from the increased production discussed above.
Depletion
Depletion expense increased $22,000 during the first nine months of 1998
compared to the first nine months of 1997 due a higher depletion rate resulting
from the increased production discussed above.
Professional Services and Other
Professional services and other expense decreased $1,000 during the first nine
months of 1998 as compared with the first nine months of 1997 primarily due to a
net decrease in numerous miscellaneous items none of which are individually
significant.
