Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
First Quarter 1997 Compared to First Quarter 1996
Oil and gas sales for the first quarter increased from $37,506 in 1996 to
$38,261 in 1997. This represents an increase of $755 or 2%. Oil sales increased
$1,683 or 5%. A 4% increase in average oil prices increased sales by $1,311. A
1% increase in oil production increased sales by an additional $372. Gas sales
decreased by $928 or 15%. A 38% decrease in gas production reduced sales by
$2,337. This decrease was partially offset by a 37% increase in average gas
prices. The decrease in oil production was primarily the result of natural
production declines. The decrease in gas production was primarily the result of
the shut-in of production from the Concord acquisition to perform workovers in
the first quarter of 1997. The changes in average prices correspond with changes
in the overall market for the sale of oil and gas.
Lease operating expenses decreased from $12,052 in the first quarter of 1996 to
$10,075 in the first quarter of 1997. The decrease of $1,977 (16%) is primarily
due to the lower production, noted above.
Depreciation and depletion expense decreased from $11,688 in the first quarter
of 1996 to $8,159 in the first quarter of 1997. This represents a decrease of
$3,529 (30%). A 24% decrease in the depletion rate reduced depreciation and
depletion expense by $2,551. The changes in production, noted above, decreased
depreciation and depletion expense by an additional $978. The decrease in the
depletion rate was primarily the result of upward revisions of the oil and gas
reserves during December 1996.
General and administrative expenses decreased from $7,857 in 1996 to $5,030 in
1997. This decrease of $2,827 is primarily due to $1,297 lower direct expenses
incurred by the Company in 1997 coupled with less staff time being required to
manage the Company's operations.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
The Company's cash flow is a direct result of the amount of net proceeds
realized from the sale of oil and gas production. Accordingly, the changes in
cash flow from 1996 to 1997 are primarily due to the changes in oil and gas
sales described above.
The Company discontinued the payment of distributions in January, 1994. Future
distributions are dependent upon, among other things, an increase in prices
received for oil and gas. The Company will continue to recover its reserves and
reduce its obligations on 1997. Based upon current projected cash flows from its
property, it does not appear that the Company will have sufficient cash
remaining after the payment of its operating expenses and debt obligations to
pay distributions.
On April 7, 1997, the Company's General Partner mailed proxy material to the
limited partners with respect to a proposed consolidation of the Company with 33
other managed limited partnerships. The terms and conditions of the proposed
consolidation are set forth in such proxy material.
As of March 31, 1997, the Company had no material commitments for capital
expenditures. The Company does not intend to engage in any significant
developmental drilling activity.
