NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1996
(Unaudited)
Note 1.
Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd. (the "Registrant") is a limited partnership
organized in 1984 under the laws of the State of Texas.
The Registrant 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.
In the opinion of management, the Registrant's unaudited financial statements as
of September 30, 1996 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1996
and 1995 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 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 Registrant's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1995, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy
of which is available upon request by writing to Steven L. Beal, Senior Vice
President, 303 West Wall, Suite 101, Midland, Texas 79701.
Note 3.
On May 25, 1993, a final settlement agreement was negotiated, drafted and
finally executed, ending litigation which had begun on September 5, 1989, when
the Registrant filed suit along with other parties against Dresser Industries,
Inc.; Titan Services, Inc.; BJ-Titan Services Company; BJ-Hughes Holding
Company; Hughes Tool Company; Baker Hughes Production Tools, Inc.; and Baker
Hughes Incorporated alleging that the defendants had intentionally failed to
provide the materials and services ordered and paid for by the Registrant and
other parties in connection with the fracturing and acidizing of 523 wells, and
then fraudulently concealed the shorting practice from Parker & Parsley
Development L.P. ("PPDLP"). The May 25, 1993 settlement agreement called for a
payment of $115 million in cash by the defendants, and Southmark, the
Registrant, and the other plaintiffs indemnified the defendants against the
claims of Jack N. Price. The managing general partner received the funds,
deducted incurred legal expenses, accrued interest, determined the general
partner's portion of the funds and calculated any inter-partnership allocations.
7
<PAGE>
On May 3, 1993, Jack N. Price, the attorney who represented Gary G. "Zeke"
Lancaster in the Federal Court lawsuit, filed suit in State Court in Beaumont
against all of the plaintiff partnerships, including the Registrant and others,
alleging his entitlement to 12% of the settlement proceeds. Price's lawsuit
claim for approximately $13.8 million is predicated on a purported contract
entered into with Southmark Corporation in August 1988 in which he allegedly
binds the Registrant and the other defendants, as well as Southmark. Although
PPDLP believes the lawsuit was without merit and has vigorously defended it,
PPDLP has held in reserve approximately 12.5% of the total settlement (the
"Reserve") pending final resolution of the litigation.
A distribution of $91,000,000 was made to the working interest owners, including
the Registrant, on July 30, 1993. The limited partners received their
distribution of $8,512,603, or $438.00 per limited partnership interest, in
September 1993. The allocation of the lawsuit settlement amount was based on the
original verdict entered on October 26, 1990. The allocation to the working
interest owners in each well (including the Registrant) was based on a ratio of
the relative amount of damages due to overcharges for services and materials
("Materials") and damages for loss of past and future production ("Production"),
each as determined in that initial judgment. Within the Registrant, damages for
Materials were allocated between the partners based on their original sharing
percentages for costs of acquiring and/or drilling of wells. Similarly, damages
related to Production were allocated to the partners in the Registrant based on
their respective share of revenues from the subject wells.
As a condition of the purchase by Parker & Parsley Petroleum Company of Parker &
Parsley Development Company ("PPDC"), which was merged into PPDLP on January 1,
1995, from its former parent in May 1989, PPDC's interest in the lawsuit and
subsequent settlement was retained by the former parent. Consequently, all of
PPDC's share of the settlement related to its separately held interests in the
wells and its partnership interests in the sponsored partnerships (except that
portion allocable to interests acquired by PPDC after May 1989) was paid to the
former parent.
On September 20, 1995, the Beaumont trial judge entered a summary judgment
against Southmark for the $13,790,000 contingent fee sought by Price, together
with prejudgment interest, and also awarded Price an additional $5,498,525 in
attorneys' fees. On January 22, 1996, the trial judge entered an interlocutory
summary judgment against Dresser Industries and Baker Hughes for an amount yet
to be determined. Pursuant to their indemnity obligations, the Registrant,
Southmark, PPDLP and other original plaintiffs have vigorously protected the
rights of both Dresser and Baker Hughes. Southmark has vigorously pursued its
appeal of the judgment, and has posted a supersedeas bond using the Reserve as
collateral. On April 29, 1996, all of the parties, including the Registrant and
Southmark, entered into a $7.4 million settlement with Price which fully and
finally resolves all of the litigation and disputes between the parties,
including the Registrant's indemnity obligations to Dresser and Baker Hughes.
Pursuant to the settlement agreement, all of the pending lawsuits and judgments
have been dismissed, the supersedeas bond released, and the Reserve released as
collateral. On June 28, 1996, a final distribution was made to the working
interest owners, including $825,594, or $42.48 per limited partnership interest
to the Registrant and its partners.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (1)
Results of Operations
Nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared with nine months ended September
30, 1995
Revenues:
The Registrant's oil and gas revenues increased to $1,373,298 from $1,221,112
for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase
of 12%. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received
per barrel of oil and mcf of gas, offset by a 7% decrease in barrels of oil
produced and sold and a 14% decrease in mcf of gas produced and sold. For the
nine months ended September 30, 1996, 47,627 barrels were sold compared to
51,294 for the same period in 1995, a decrease of 3,667 barrels. For the nine
months ended September 30, 1996, 177,818 mcf of gas were sold compared to
207,332 for the same period in 1995, a decrease of 29,514 mcf. The volume
decreases were primarily due to the decline characteristics of the Registrant's
oil and gas properties. Management expects a certain amount of decline in
production to continue in the future until the Registrant's economically
recoverable reserves are fully depleted.
The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.73, or 22%, from
$17.28 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $21.01 for the same
period in 1996 while the average price received per mcf of gas increased 29%
from $1.62 during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 to $2.09 in 1996. 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 Registrant may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at
average prices lower or higher than that received during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996.
A gain on abandoned property of $16,355 was recognized during the nine months
ended September 30, 1995, resulting from proceeds received from equipment
salvage on the abandonment of one fully depleted property. Abandoned property
costs of $12,039 were incurred on one well abandoned during the nine months
ended September 30, 1995. There was no abandonment activity for the same period
ended September 30, 1996.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses decreased to $978,168 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to $1,231,884 for the same period in 1995, a
decrease of $253,716, or 21%. This decrease was due to declines in production
costs, abandoned property costs and depletion, offset by an increase in general
and administrative expenses ("G&A").
Production costs were $677,333 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and
$715,425 for the same period in 1995 resulting in a $38,092 decrease, or 5%. The
decrease was due to a reduction in well repair and maintenance costs.
9
<PAGE>
G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees, computer
services, postage and managing general partner personnel costs. During this
period, G&A increased, in aggregate, 10% from $40,446 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1995 to $44,624 for the same period in 1996.
Depletion was $256,211 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 compared to
$463,974 for the same period in 1995, representing a decrease of $207,763, or
45%. This decrease was primarily attributable to the following factors: (i) a
reduction in the Registrant'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" ("FAS 121"), (ii) a reduction in oil production of 3,667 barrels for the
nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995, and
(iii) an increase in oil and gas reserves during the third quarter of 1996 as a
result of higher commodity prices.
On May 25, 1993, a final settlement agreement was negotiated, drafted and
finally executed, ending litigation which had begun on September 5, 1989, when
the Registrant filed suit along with other parties against Dresser Industries,
Inc.; Titan Services, Inc.; BJ-Titan Services Company; BJ-Hughes Holding
Company; Hughes Tool Company; Baker Hughes Production Tools, Inc.; and Baker
Hughes Incorporated alleging that the defendants had intentionally failed to
provide the materials and services ordered and paid for by the Registrant and
other parties in connection with the fracturing and acidizing of 523 wells, and
then fraudulently concealed the shorting practice from PPDLP. The May 25, 1993
settlement agreement called for a payment of $115 million in cash by the
defendants, and Southmark, the Registrant, and the other plaintiffs indemnified
the defendants against the claims of Jack N. Price. The managing general partner
received the funds, deducted incurred legal expenses, accrued interest,
determined the general partner's portion of the funds and calculated any
inter-partnership allocations.
On May 3, 1993, Jack N. Price, the attorney who represented Gary G. "Zeke"
Lancaster in the Federal Court lawsuit, filed suit in State Court in Beaumont
against all of the plaintiff partnerships, including the Registrant and others,
alleging his entitlement to 12% of the settlement proceeds. Price's lawsuit
claim for approximately $13.8 million is predicated on a purported contract
entered into with Southmark Corporation in August 1988 in which he allegedly
binds the Registrant and the other defendants, as well as Southmark. Although
PPDLP believes the lawsuit was without merit and has vigorously defended it,
PPDLP has held in reserve approximately 12.5% of the total settlement (the
"Reserve") pending final resolution of the litigation.
A distribution of $91,000,000 was made to the working interest owners, including
the Registrant, on July 30, 1993. The limited partners received their
distribution of $8,512,603, or $438.00 per limited partnership interest, in
September 1993. The allocation of the lawsuit settlement amount was based on the
original verdict entered on October 26, 1990. The allocation to the working
interest owners in each well (including the Registrant) was based on a ratio of
the relative amount of damages due to overcharges for services and materials
("Materials") and damages for loss of past and future production ("Production"),
each as determined in that initial judgment. Within the Registrant, damages for
Materials were allocated between the partners based on their original sharing
10
<PAGE>
percentages for costs of acquiring and/or drilling of wells. Similarly, damages
related to Production were allocated to the partners in the Registrant based on
their respective share of revenues from the subject wells.
As a condition of the purchase by Parker & Parsley Petroleum Company of PPDC,
which was merged into PPDLP on January 1, 1995, from its former parent in May
1989, PPDC's interest in the lawsuit and subsequent settlement was retained by
the former parent. Consequently, all of PPDC's share of the settlement related
to its separately held interests in the wells and its partnership interests in
the sponsored partnerships (except that portion allocable to interests acquired
by PPDC after May 1989) was paid to the former parent.
On September 20, 1995, the Beaumont trial judge entered a summary judgment
against Southmark for the $13,790,000 contingent fee sought by Price, together
with prejudgment interest, and also awarded Price an additional $5,498,525 in
attorneys' fees. On January 22, 1996, the trial judge entered an interlocutory
summary judgment against Dresser Industries and Baker Hughes for an amount yet
to be determined. Pursuant to their indemnity obligations, the Registrant,
Southmark, PPDLP and other original plaintiffs have vigorously protected the
rights of both Dresser and Baker Hughes. Southmark has vigorously pursued its
appeal of the judgment, and has posted a supersedeas bond using the Reserve as
collateral. On April 29, 1996, all of the parties, including the Registrant and
Southmark, entered into a $7.4 million settlement with Price which fully and
finally resolves all of the litigation and disputes between the parties,
including the Registrant's indemnity obligations to Dresser and Baker Hughes.
Pursuant to the settlement agreement, all of the pending lawsuits and judgments
have been dismissed, the supersedeas bond released, and the Reserve released as
collateral. On June 28, 1996, a final distribution was made to the working
interest owners, including $825,594, or $42.48 per limited partnership interest
to the Registrant and its partners.
Three months ended September 30, 1996 compared with three months ended September
30, 1995
Revenues:
The Registrant's oil and gas revenues increased to $470,808 from $384,146 for
the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of
23%. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received per
barrel of oil and mcf of gas, offset by a 4% decline in barrels of oil produced
and sold and an 11% decline in mcf of gas produced and sold. For the three
months ended September 30, 1996, 16,130 barrels of oil were sold compared to
16,842 for the same period in 1995, a decrease of 712 barrels. For the three
months ended September 30, 1996, 61,417 mcf of gas were sold compared to 68,860
for the same period in 1995, a decrease of 7,443 mcf. The decrease in production
volumes was primarily due to the decline characteristics of the Registrant's oil
and gas properties.
The average price received per barrel of oil increased $5.14, or 31%, from
$16.57 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 compared to $21.71 for the
same period in 1996, while the average price received per mcf of gas increased
28% from $1.53 during the three months ended September 30, 1995 to $1.96 in
1996.
11
<PAGE>
A gain on abandoned property of $16,355 was recognized during the three months
ended September 30, 1995, resulting from proceeds received from equipment
salvage on the abandonment of one fully depleted property. Abandoned property
costs of $12,039 were incurred on one well abandoned during the three months
ended September 30, 1995. There was no abandonment activity for the same period
ended September 30, 1996.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses decreased to $312,936 for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to $402,365 for the same period in 1995, a
decrease of $89,429, or 22%. This decrease was due to declines in production
costs, abandoned property costs and depletion, offset by an increase in G&A.
Production costs were $223,011 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and
$225,682 for the same period in 1995, resulting in a $2,671 decrease. The
decrease was due to a decline in well repair and maintenance costs, offset by an
increase in ad valorem taxes and production taxes.
G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees, computer
services, postage and managing general partner personnel costs. During this
period, G&A increased, in aggregate, 10% from $13,786 for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 to $15,232 for the same period in 1996.
Depletion was $74,693 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 compared to
$150,858 for the same period in 1995, representing a decrease of $76,165, or
50%, primarily attributable to the following factors: (i) a reduction in the
Registrant's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with FAS 121,
(ii) a reduction in oil production of 712 barrels for the three months ended
September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995, and (iii) an increase
in oil and gas reserves during the third quarter of 1996 as a result of higher
commodity prices.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $1,159,065 during the nine
months ended September 30, 1996 from the same period ended in 1995. This
increase was primarily due to the receipt of proceeds from the litigation
settlement as discussed in Note 3 and an increase in oil and gas sales receipts.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
The Registrant's investing activities during the nine months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995 were related to expenditures for equipment replacement on various
oil and gas properties.
Proceeds of $16,355 were received from the salvage of equipment on one well
abandoned during the nine months ended September 30, 1995.
12
<PAGE>
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash was sufficient for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to cover
distributions to the partners of $1,633,743 of which $1,253,140 was distributed
to the limited partners and $380,603 to the general partners. For the same
period ended September 30, 1995, cash was sufficient for distributions to the
partners of $467,685 of which $350,431 was distributed to the limited partners
and $117,254 to the general partners.
Cash distributions to the partners of $1,633,743 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1996 included $825,594 to the limited partners and $229,759 to the
general partners, resulting from proceeds received in the litigation settlement
as discussed in Note 3.
It is expected that future net cash provided by operating activities will be
