NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2000
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and nature of operations
Parker & Parsley 85-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1985 under the laws of the State of Texas.
The Partnership engages 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 March 31, 2000 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
may have been made to the March 31, 1999 financial statements to conform to the
March 31, 2000 financial statement presentations.
Certain information and footnote disclosures 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, 1999, 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
Revenues:
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 129% to $135,322 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $58,981 for the same period in 1999.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 3,488
barrels of oil, 1,505 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 7,429 mcf of
gas were sold, or 6,231 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months
ended March 31, 1999, 3,395 barrels of oil, 1,555 barrels of NGLs and 8,568 mcf
of gas were sold, or 6,378 BOEs.
7
<PAGE>
The average price received per barrel of oil increased $17.01, or 146%, from
$11.64 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $28.65 for the same period
in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $8.91, or 162%,
from $5.50 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $14.41 for the same
period in 2000. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 45% from
$1.27 during the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $1.84 for the same period
in 2000. 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
three months ended March 31, 2000.
The volatility of commodity prices has had, and continues to have, a significant
impact on the Partnership's revenues and operating cash flow and could result in
additional decreases to the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses decreased to $75,290 for the three months ended March
31, 2000 as compared to $91,097 for the same period in 1999, a decrease of
$15,807, or 17%. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in depletion,
offset by increases in production costs and general and administrative expenses
("G&A").
Production costs were $57,367 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and
$49,685 for the same period in 1999, an increase of $7,682, or 15%. The increase
was attributable to higher production taxes due to increased oil and gas
revenues and additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well
production.
G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A
increased, in aggregate, 130% from $1,769 for the three months ended March 31,
1999 to $4,060 for the same period in 2000 primarily due to increased oil and
gas revenues.
Depletion was $13,863 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared to
$39,643 for the same period in 1999, a decrease of $25,780, or 65%. The decrease
was attributable to an increase in proved reserves during the three months ended
March 31, 2000 as a result of higher commodity prices and 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 1999, offset by an increase in oil
production of 93 barrels for the period ended March 31, 2000 compared to the
same period ended March 31, 1999.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $68,496 during the three
months ended March 31, 2000 from the same period in 1999. The increase was
8
<PAGE>
primarily attributable to an increase of $80,816 in oil and gas sales receipts,
offset by increases in operating costs paid of $8,956 and in G&A expenses paid
of $3,364.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
The Partnership's investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2000
and 1999 were related to equipment upgrades on active properties.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners
were $64,107, of which $641 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$63,466 to the limited partners. For the same period ended March 31, 1999, $32
was distributed to the general partners with no distribution to the limited
partners.
Other Items
Year 2000
During 1998, the managing general partner established a "Year 2000" project that
assessed the Partnership's and the managing general partner's internal Year 2000
problem; took remedial actions necessary to minimize the Year 2000 risk exposure
to the managing general partner and third parties; and, tested the managing
general partner's systems and processes once remedial actions were taken.
The managing general partner has closely monitored its information and
non-information technology systems since the beginning of 2000 and has
identified no significant Year 2000 failures or problems.
