(A Texas Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1998
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and nature of organization
Parker & Parsley 83-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1983 under the laws of the State of Texas.
The Partnership engages primarily in oil and gas development and production in
Texas and is not involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas.
Note 2. Basis of presentation
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements of the
Partnership as of June 30, 1998 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal
recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily
indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications have been made
to the June 30, 1997 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 1998
financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes
thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1997, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy
of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and
Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square
West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (1)
Results of Operations
Six months ended June 30, 1998 compared with six months ended
June 30, 1997
Revenues:
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 35% to $669,914 from $1,032,956
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease in
revenues resulted from lower average prices received, offset by an increase in
production. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, 31,285 barrels of oil,
7
<PAGE>
14,787 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 71,913 mcf of gas were sold,
or 58,058 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30,
1997, 35,130 barrels of oil and 118,613 mcf of gas were sold, or 54,899 BOEs.
As of September 30, 1997, the Partnership began accounting for processed natural
gas production as processed natural gas liquids and dry residue gas.
Consequently, separate product volumes will not be comparable to periods prior
to September 30, 1997. Also, prices for gas products will not be comparable as
the price per mcf for natural gas for the three and six months ended June 30,
1998 is the price received for dry residue gas and the price per mcf for natural
gas for the three and six months ended June 30, 1997 is a price for wet gas
(i.e., natural gas liquids combined with dry residue gas).
The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $6.17, or 30%, from
$20.42 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $14.25 for the same period in
1998. The average price received per barrel of NGLs during the six months ended
June 30, 1998 was $7.46. The average price received per mcf of gas decreased 41%
from $2.66 during the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $1.58 in 1998. The
market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and
management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable
future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at
average prices lower or higher than that received during the six months ended
June 30, 1998.
During most of 1997, the Partnership benefitted from higher oil prices as
compared to previous years. However, during the fourth quarter of 1997, oil
prices began a downward trend that has continued into 1998. On July 29, 1998,
the market price for West Texas intermediate crude was $11.58 per barrel. A
continuation of the oil price environment experienced during the first half of
1998 will have an adverse effect on the Partnership's revenues and operating
cash flow and could result in additional decreases in the carrying value of the
Partnership's oil and gas properties.
A gain on disposition of assets of $157 was recognized during the six months
ended June 30, 1998 from post closing adjustments received from the sale of two
oil and gas wells and an overriding royalty interest in one well during 1997.
Salvage income of $16,500 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 was derived
from the disposal of equipment on wells plugged and abandoned in prior years.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses decreased to $707,110 for the six months ended June 30,
1998 as compared to $734,697 for the same period in 1997, a decrease of $27,587,
or 4%. This decrease resulted from declines in depletion and general and
administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by an increase in production costs.
Production costs were $529,323 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
$514,487 for the same period in 1997 resulting in a $14,836 increase, or 3%. The
increase was due to additional well maintenance costs incurred in an effort to
stimulate well production, offset by declines in production taxes and workover
expenses.
8
<PAGE>
G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A
decreased, in aggregate, 35% from $33,766 for the six months ended June 30, 1997
to $21,809 for the same period in 1998.
Depletion was $155,978 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to
$186,444 for the same period in 1997. This represented a decrease in depletion
of $30,466, or 16%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in
the Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of"
("SFAS 121") during the fourth quarter of 1997 and a reduction in oil production
of 3,845 barrels for the period ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period
in 1997, offset by a decrease in oil reserves during the six months ended June
30, 1998 as a result of lower commodity prices.
Three months ended June 30, 1998 compared with three months ended
June 30, 1997
Revenues:
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 30% to $324,521 from $462,893
for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease in
revenues resulted from lower average prices received, offset by an increase in
production. For the three months ended June 30, 1998, 15,389 barrels of oil,
7,714 barrels of NGLs and 36,519 mcf of gas were sold, or 29,190 BOEs. For the
three months ended June 30, 1997, 17,338 barrels of oil and 58,029 mcf of gas
were sold, or 27,010 BOEs.
The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $5.25, or 28%, from
$18.85 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $13.60 for the three months
ended June 30, 1998. The average price received per barrel of NGLs during the
three months ended June 30, 1998 was $7.59. The average price received per mcf
of gas decreased 34% from $2.35 during the three months ended June 30, 1997 to
$1.55 for the same period in 1998.
A gain on disposition of assets of $157 was recognized during the three months
ended June 30, 1998 from post closing adjustments received from the sale of two
oil and gas wells and an overriding royalty interest in one well during 1997.
Salvage income of $16,500 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 was derived
from the disposal of equipment on wells plugged and abandoned in prior years.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses increased to $348,081 for the three months ended June
30, 1998 as compared to $345,051 for the same period in 1997, an increase of
$3,030. This increase resulted from higher production costs, offset by declines
in depletion and G&A.
Production costs were $262,138 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and
$238,907 for the same period in 1997 resulting in a $23,231 increase, or 10%.
The increase was due to additional well maintenance costs incurred in an effort
to stimulate well production, offset by declines in workover expenses and
production taxes.
9
<PAGE>
G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A
decreased, in aggregate, 26% from $14,880 for the three months ended June 30,
1997 to $10,964 for the same period in 1998.
Depletion was $74,979 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to
$91,264 for the same period in 1997. This represented a decrease in depletion of
$16,285, or 18%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in the
Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS
121 during the fourth quarter of 1997 and a reduction in oil production of 1,949
barrels for the period ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997,
offset by a decrease in oil reserves during the three months ended June 30, 1998
as a result of lower commodity prices.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $451,427 during the six
months ended June 30, 1998 from the same period ended June 30, 1997. This
decrease was due to a decline in oil and gas sales receipts and an increase in
production costs paid, offset by a decrease in G&A expenses paid.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
The Partnership's investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 1998
were related to oil and gas equipment replacement on active properties.
Proceeds from asset disposition of $10,974 were received during the six months
ended June 30, 1998 from the sale of two oil and gas wells during 1997. Proceeds
of $26,062 were received during the same period in 1997 of which $16,500 was
derived from the sale of equipment from properties abandoned in prior years and
$9,562 was received from the disposal of equipment on active properties.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash was sufficient for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to cover
distributions to the partners of $222,020 of which $56,182 was distributed to
the general partners and $165,838 to the limited partners. For the same period
ended June 30, 1997, cash was sufficient for distributions to the partners of
$603,118 of which $150,522 was distributed to the general partners and $452,596
to the limited partners.
It is expected that future net cash provided by operating activities will be
sufficient for any capital expenditures and any distributions. As the production
from the properties declines, distributions are also expected to decrease.
Information systems for the year 2000
The managing general partner will be required to modify its information systems
in order to accurately process Partnership data referencing the year 2000.
Because of the importance of occurrence dates in the oil and gas industry, the
10
<PAGE>
consequences of not pursuing these modifications could be very significant to
the Partnership's ability to manage and report operating activities. Currently,
the managing general partner plans to contract with third parties to perform the
software programming changes necessary to correct any existing deficiencies.
Such programming changes are anticipated to be completed and tested by June
1999. The managing general partner will allocate a portion of the costs of the
year 2000 programming charges to the Partnership when they are incurred, along
with recurring general and administrative expenses. Although the costs are not
estimable at this time, they should not be significant to the Partnership.
