Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
General
Southwest Royalties Institutional Income Fund VIII-B, L.P. was organized as
a Delaware limited partnership on November 30, 1987. The offering of such
limited partnership interests began March 31, 1988, minimum capital
requirements were met July 11, 1988, and concluded on March 31, 1989 with
total limited partner contributions of $5,073,500.
The Partnership was formed to acquire royalty and net profits interests in
producing oil and gas properties, to produce and market crude oil and natural
gas produced from such properties, and to distribute the net proceeds from
operations to the limited and general partners. Net revenues from producing
oil and gas properties will not be reinvested in other revenue producing
assets except to the extent that production facilities and wells are improved
or reworked or where methods are employed to improve or enable more efficient
recovery of oil and gas reserves.
Increases or decreases in Partnership revenues and, therefore, distributions
to partners will depend primarily on changes in the prices received for
production, changes in volumes of production sold, lease operating expenses,
enhanced recovery projects, offset drilling activities pursuant to farm-out
arrangements, sales of properties, and the depletion of wells. Since wells
deplete over time, production can generally be expected to decline from year
to year.
Well operating costs and general and administrative costs usually decrease
with production declines; however, these costs may not decrease
proportionately. Net income available for distribution to the partners is
therefore expected to fluctuate in later years based on these factors.

Results of Operations
A. General Comparison of the Quarters Ended March 31, 1996 and 1995
The following table provides certain information regarding performance
factors for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995:
Three Months
Ended Percentage
March 31, Increase
1996 1995 (Decrease)
---- ---- ----------
Average price per barrel of oil $ 18.34 16.72 10%
Average price per mcf of gas $ 2.09 2.12 (1%)
Oil production in barrels 14,400 15,800 (9%)
Gas production in mcf 18,400 16,900 9%
Income from net profits interests $ 137,654 149,847 (8%)
Partnership distributions $ 122,540 98,000 25%
Limited partner distributions $ 110,840 88,200 26%
Per unit distribution to limited
partners $ 10.92 8.69 26%
Number of limited partner units 10,147 10,147
Revenues
The Partnership's income from net profits interests decreased to $137,654
from $149,847 for the quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,
a decrease of 8%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the
quarters ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 are as follows:
1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
increased during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the
quarter ended March 31, 1995 by 10%, or $1.62 per barrel, resulting in an
increase of approximately $25,600 in income from net profits interests.
Oil sales represented 87% of total oil and gas sales during the quarter
ended March 31, 1996 as compared to 88% during the quarter ended
March 31, 1995.
The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership decreased
during the same period by 1%, or $.03 per mcf, resulting in a decrease of
approximately $500 in income from net profits interests.
The net total increase in income from net profits interests due to the
change in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately
$25,100. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile
over the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of
volatility to continue in the foreseeable future.
2. Oil production decreased approximately 1,400 barrels or 9% during the
quarter ended March 31, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
1995, resulting in a decrease of approximately $25,700 in income from net
profits interests.
<PAGE>
Gas production increased approximately 1,500 mcf or 9% during the same
period, resulting in an increase of approximately $3,100 in income from
net profits interests.
The net total decrease in income from net profits interests due to the
change in production is approximately $22,600.
3. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 9% higher, or
approximately $13,700 more during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995. The increase is a result
of workover costs incurred in 1996.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses decreased to $60,678 from $79,863 for the quarters
ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of 24%. The decrease
is the result of lower general and administrative expense and depletion
expense.
1. General and administrative costs consists of independent accounting and
engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
Partner personnel costs. General and administrative costs decreased 11%
or approximately $3,200 during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 as
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1995.
2. Depletion expense decreased to $34,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
1996 from $50,000 for the same period in 1995. This represents a
decrease of 32%. Depletion is calculated using the gross revenue method
of amortization based on a percentage of current period gross revenues to
total future gross oil and gas revenues, as estimated by the
Partnership's independent petroleum consultants. Although oil and gas
revenues increased during the comparative quarters, depletion expense
decreased due to the change in oil prices since 1995.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The primary source of cash is from operations, the receipt of income from
interests in oil and gas properties. The Partnership knows of no material
change, nor does it anticipate any such change.
Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $109,400 in
the three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $91,300 in
the three months ended March 31, 1995. The primary source of the 1996 cash
flow from operating activities was profitable operations.
Cash flows provided by investing activities were approximately $1,000 in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to none in the three months
ended March 31, 1995. The principle source of the 1996 cash flow from
investing activities was the sale of oil and gas properties.
<PAGE>
Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $122,600 in the
three months ended March 31, 1996 as compared to approximately $98,100 in the
three months ended March 31, 1995. The only use in financing activities was
the distributions to partners.
Total distributions during the three months ended March 31, 1996 were
$122,540 of which $110,840 was distributed to the limited partners and
$11,700 to the general partners. The per unit distribution to limited
partners during the three months ended March 31, 1996 was $10.92. Total
distributions during the three months ended March 31, 1995 were $98,000 of
which $88,200 was distributed to the limited partners and $9,800 was
distributed to the general partners. The per unit distribution to limited
partners during the three months ended March 31, 1995 was $8.69.
The sources for the 1996 distributions of $122,540 were oil and gas
operations of approximately $109,400 and the sale of oil and gas properties
of $1,000, with the balance from cash on hand at the beginning of the period.
The source for the 1995 distributions of $98,000 was oil and gas operations
of approximately $91,300, with the balance from available cash on hand at the
beginning of the period.
Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of
$4,277,115 have been made to the partners. As of March 31, 1996, $3,867,841
or $381.18 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited
partners, representing a 76% return of the capital contributed.
As of March 31, 1996, the Partnership had approximately $139,600 in working
capital. The Managing General Partner knows of no unusual contractual
commitments and believes the revenues generated from operations are adequate
to meet the needs of the Partnership.
