NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1998
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and nature of operations
Parker & Parsley 87-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1987 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 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 31% to $511,361 from $741,362
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, 25,046 barrels of oil,
10,876 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 51,388 mcf of gas were sold,
or 44,487 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30,
1997, 25,351 barrels of oil and 89,066 mcf of gas were sold, or 40,195 BOEs.
7
<PAGE>
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 $6.13, or 30%, from
$20.22 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $14.09 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 $2.57 during the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $1.51 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 $13,728 was received during the six months
ended June 30, 1998 from the sale of oil and gas equipment on one well abandoned
in a prior year. Abandoned property costs of $3,943 were also incurred during
the six months ended June 30, 1998 related to this well.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses decreased to $494,200 for the six months ended June 30,
1998 as compared to $513,277 for the same period in 1997, a decrease of $19,077,
or 4%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs, general and
administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion, offset by an increase in
abandoned property costs.
Production costs were $315,652 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and
$327,386 for the same period in 1997 resulting in a $11,734 decrease, or 4%.
This decrease was primarily due to a decline in production taxes.
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, 31% from $22,241 for the six months ended June 30, 1997
to $15,341 for the same period in 1998.
8
<PAGE>
Depletion was $159,264 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to
$163,650 for the same period in 1997. This represented a decrease in depletion
of $4,386, or 3%. 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 305 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 31% to $235,929 from $340,617
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, 12,145 barrels of oil,
5,147 barrels of NGLs and 22,520 mcf of gas were sold, or 21,045 BOEs. For the
three months ended June 30, 1997, 12,423 barrels of oil and 48,115 mcf of gas
were sold, or 20,442 BOEs.
The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $5.27, or 28%, from
$18.67 during the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $13.40 for the same period
in 1998. The average price received per barrel of NGLS during the three months
ended June 30, 1998 was $7.70. The average price received per mcf of gas
decreased 34% from $2.26 during the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $1.49
for the same period in 1998.
A gain on disposition of assets of $235 was received during the three months
ended June 30, 1998 from the sale of oil and gas equipment on one well abandoned
in a prior year. Abandoned property costs of $95 were also incurred during the
three months ended June 30, 1998 related to this well.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses decreased to $243,339 for the three months ended June
30, 1998 as compared to $249,543 for the same period in 1997, a decrease of
$6,204. This decrease was due to declines in G&A, production costs and
depletion, offset by an increase in abandoned property costs.
Production costs were $154,727 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and
$156,553 for the same period in 1997 resulting in a $1,826 decrease. This
decrease was due to a decline in production taxes, offset by an increase in well
maintenance expenses.
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, 31%, from $10,276 for the three months ended June 30,
1997 to $7,078 for the same period in 1998.
9
<PAGE>
Depletion was $81,439 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to
$82,714 for the same period in 1997. This represented a decrease in depletion of
$1,275. 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 278
barrels for the three months 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 $161,201 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, offset by a
decrease in production costs and G&A expenses paid.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
The Partnership's investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 1998
and 1997 were related to the addition of oil and gas equipment on active
properties.
Proceeds from asset dispositions of $13,728 were received during the six months
ended June 30, 1998 from the sale of oil and gas equipment on one well abandoned
in a prior year.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash was sufficient for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to cover
distributions to the partners of $252,506 of which $2,525 was distributed to the
managing general partner and $249,981 to the limited partners. For the same
period ended June 30, 1997, cash was sufficient for distributions to the
partners of $414,013 of which $4,147 was distributed to the managing general
partner and $409,866 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
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
10
<PAGE>
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.
