Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund X-B, L.P.
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization
Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund X-B, L.P. was organized under the laws of the state of Delaware on November 27, 1990 for the purpose of acquiring producing oil and gas properties and to produce and market crude oil and natural gas produced from such properties for a term of 50 years, unless terminated at an earlier date as provided for in the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership sells its oil and gas production to a variety of purchasers with the prices it receives being dependent upon the oil and gas economy. Southwest Royalties, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Clayton Williams Energy, Inc., serves as the Managing General Partner. Revenues, costs and expenses are allocated as follows:
| | Limited | | | General | |
| | Partners | | | Partners | |
Interest income on capital contributions | | | 100 | % | | | - | |
Oil and gas sales | | | 90 | % | | | 10 | % |
All other revenues | | | 90 | % | | | 10 | % |
Organization and offering costs (1) | | | 100 | % | | | - | |
Amortization or organization costs | | | 100 | % | | | - | |
Property acquisition costs | | | 100 | % | | | - | |
Gain/loss on property disposition | | | 90 | % | | | 10 | % |
Operating and administrative costs (2) | | | 90 | % | | | 10 | % |
Depreciation, depletion, and amortization | | | | | | | | |
of oil and gas properties | | | 100 | % | | | - | |
All other costs | | | 90 | % | | | 10 | % |
| (1) | All organization costs in excess of 3% of initial capital contributions will be paid by the Managing General Partner and will be treated as a capital contribution. The Partnership paid the Managing General Partner an amount equal to 3% of initial capital contributions for such organization costs. |
| (2) | Administrative costs in any year, which exceed 2% of capital contributions shall be paid by the Managing General Partner and will be treated as a capital contribution. |
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The interim financial information as of March 31, 2008, and for the three months ended March 31, 2008, is unaudited. 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. However, in the opinion of management, these interim financial statements include all the necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of the interim periods and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007.
3. Abandonment Obligations
The Partnership follows the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations” (“SFAS 143”), as amended. SFAS 143 requires the Partnership to recognize a liability for the present value of all legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible, long-lived assets and capitalize an equal amount as a cost of the asset. The cost associated with the abandonment obligations, along with any estimated salvage value, is included in the computation of depreciation, depletion and amortization.
Changes in abandonment obligations for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007 are as follows:
| | 2008 | | | 2007 | |
Beginning of period | | $ | 322,601 | | | $ | 296,255 | |
Additional abandonment obligations from additional interest in wells | | | - | | | | 495 | |
Accretion expense | | | 4,364 | | | | 6,704 | |
End of period | | $ | 326,965 | | | $ | 303,454 | |
Item 2. | Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
General
Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund X-B, L.P. was organized as a Delaware limited partnership on November 27, 1990. The offering of such limited partnership interests began on December 1, 1990 as part of a shelf offering registered under the name Southwest Oil & Gas 1990-91 Income Program. Minimum capital requirements for the Partnership were met on March 1, 1991, with the offering of limited partnership interests concluding on September 30, 1991, with total limited partner contributions of $5,444,500.
The Partnership was formed to acquire 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. The economic life of the Partnership thus depends on the period over which the Partnership’s oil and gas reserves are economically recoverable.
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 decline in later years based on these factors.
Oil and gas properties are accounted for at cost under the full-cost method. Under this method, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Gain or loss on the sale of oil and gas properties is not recognized unless significant oil and gas reserves are sold.
Should the net capitalized costs exceed the estimated present value of oil and gas reserves, discounted at 10%, such excess costs would be charged to current expense. As of March 31, 2008, the net capitalized costs did not exceed the estimated present value of oil and gas reserves.
Critical Accounting Policies
The Partnership follows the full cost method of accounting for its oil and gas properties. The full cost method subjects companies to quarterly calculations of a “ceiling”, or limitation on the amount of properties that can be capitalized on the balance sheet. If the Partnership’s capitalized costs are in excess of the calculated ceiling, the excess must be written off as an expense.
The Partnership’s discounted present value of its proved oil and natural gas reserves is a major component of the ceiling calculation, and represents the component that requires the most subjective judgments. Estimates of reserves are forecasts based on engineering data, projected future rates of production and the timing of future expenditures. The process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves requires substantial judgment, resulting in imprecise determinations, particularly for new discoveries. Different reserve engineers may make different estimates of reserve quantities based on the same data. The Partnership’s reserve estimates are prepared by outside consultants.
The passage of time provides more qualitative information regarding estimates of reserves, and revisions are made to prior estimates to reflect updated information. However, there can be no assurance that more significant revisions will not be necessary in the future. If future significant revisions are necessary that reduce previously estimated reserve quantities, it could result in a full cost property writedown. In addition to the impact of these estimates of proved reserves on calculation of the ceiling, estimates of proved reserves are also a significant component of the calculation of depletion, depreciation, and amortization (“DD&A”).
While the quantities of proved reserves require substantial judgment, the associated prices of oil and natural gas reserves that are included in the discounted present value of the reserves do not require judgment. The ceiling calculation dictates that prices and costs in effect as of the last day of the period are generally held constant indefinitely. Because the ceiling calculation dictates that prices in effect as of the last day of the applicable quarter are held constant indefinitely, the resulting value is not indicative of the true fair value of the reserves. Oil and natural gas prices have historically been cyclical and, on any particular day at the end of a quarter, can be either substantially higher or lower than the Partnership’s long-term price forecast that is a barometer for true fair value.

Operating Results
The following discussion compares our results for the quarters ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. Unless otherwise indicated, references to 2008 and 2007 within this section refer to the respective quarterly period.
Income from net profits
Comparing 2008 to 2007, oil and gas sales increased $132,782, of which price variances accounted for a $143,832 increase and production variances accounted for a $11,050 decrease.
Production in 2008 (on a BOE basis) was 6% lower than 2007. Our oil production decreased 2% in 2008. Our gas production decreased 13% in 2008 was due primarily to production decline in two properties.
In 2008, our realized oil price was 70% higher than 2007, and our realized gas price was 58% higher. Historically, the markets for oil and gas have been volatile, and they are likely to continue to be volatile. We have very little control over the prices we receive for our production at the wellhead since most of our physical marketing arrangements are market-sensitive.
Oil and gas production costs on a BOE basis increased from $21.83 per BOE in 2007 to $25.63 per BOE in 2008. The increase in oil and gas production costs in 2008 was due primarily to higher production taxes resulting from higher commodity prices.
Expenses
Depletion on a BOE basis increased 12% in 2008. Comparing 2008 to 2007, depletion expense increased $361, of which rate variances accounted for a $840 increase and production variances accounted for a $479 decrease.
Accretion expense decreased 35% due primarily to the extended economic life of the wells driven by the change in commodity prices.
General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses were 44% higher in 2008 due primarily to increases in audit fees and engineering services.
Texas Margin Taxes
In May 2006, the State of Texas adopted House Bill 3, which modified the state’s franchise tax structure, replacing the previous tax based on capital or earned surplus with a margin tax (the “Texas Margin Tax”) effective with franchise tax reports filed on or after January 1, 2008. The Texas margin Tax is computed by applying the applicable tax rate (1% for the Partnership’s business) to the profit margin, which is generally determined by total revenue less either cost of goods sold or compensation as applicable. Although House Bill 3 states that the Texas Margin Tax is not an income tax, the Partnership believes that Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”) applies to the Texas Margin Tax. However the Partnership believes, based on its interpretation, that the Texas Margin Tax does not apply to the Partnership because it qualifies under the passive entity exclusion.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Partnership distributions during the quarter ending March 31, 2008 were $225,000, of which $202,500 was distributed to the limited partners and $22,500 to the general partners. Cumulative cash distributions of $7,761,359 have been made to the general and limited partners as of March 31, 2008. As of March 31, 2008, $7,025,527 or $645.19 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited partners, representing 129% of contributed capital.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) (as amended) effective January 1, 2008. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, outlines a fair value hierarchy based on the quality of inputs used to measure fair value and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The adoption of SFAS 157 had no effect on the Partnership. As permitted by FSP No. 157-2, the Partnership has not applied the provisions of SFAS 157 to nonfinancial assets and liabilities relating to its asset retirement obligations.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Partnership is not a party to any derivative or embedded derivative instruments.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The Managing General Partner has established disclosure controls and procedures that are adequate to provide reasonable assurance that management will be able to collect, process and disclose both financial and non-financial information, on a timely basis, in the Partnership’s reports to the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures include all processes necessary to ensure that material information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive and chief financial officers, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
With respect to these disclosure controls and procedures:
management has evaluated the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report;
this evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive and chief financial officers of the Managing General Partner; and
it is the conclusion of chief executive and chief financial officers of the Managing General Partner that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective in ensuring that information that is required to be disclosed by the Partnership in reports filed or submitted with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms established by the SEC.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management designed our internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of our financial reporting and the preparation of our financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and our Board of Directors; and
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of any unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has not been any change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2008 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2008. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that, as of March 31, 2008, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on those criteria.
