Organization and nature of operations Parker & Parsley 86-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized in 1986 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 as of March 31, 1997 of the Partnership 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. However, these interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. 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, 1996, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Steven L. Beal, Senior Vice President, 303 West Wall, Suite 101, Midland, Texas 79701. 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 decreased 20% to $172,398 from $216,043 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1996. The decrease in revenues resulted from a 28% decline in barrels of oil produced and sold and a 44% decline in mcf of gas produced and sold, offset by a 16% increase in the average price received per barrel of oil and a 31% increase in the average price received per mcf of gas. For the three months ended March 31, 1997, 5,543 barrels of oil were sold compared to 7,728 for the same period in 1996, a decrease of 2,185 barrels. Of the decrease, 1,832 barrels, or 24%, was attributable to the sale of four oil and gas wells during 1996. The additional decrease of 4%, or 353 barrels, was due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties. For the three months ended March 31, 1997, 18,961 mcf of gas were sold compared to 33,905 for the same period in 1996, a decrease of 14,944 mcf. Of the decrease, 7,954 mcf, 7 or 23%, was attributable to the sale of four oil and gas wells during 1996. The additional decrease of 6,990, or 21%, was due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties. Due to these decline characteristics, management expects a certain amount of decline in production to continue in the future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully depleted. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $2.93 from $18.87 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $21.80 for the same period in 1997, while the average price received per mcf of gas increased from $2.07 during the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $2.72 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1997. 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, 1997. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $152,735 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $167,535 for the same period in 1996, a decrease of $14,800, or 9%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs, general and administrative expense ("G&A") and depletion. Production costs were $104,951 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and $116,875 for the same period in 1996 resulting in a $11,924 decrease, or 10%. This decrease was the result of a reduction in well repair and maintenance costs, offset by an increase in workover expenses incurred in an effort 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 decreased, in aggregate, 20% from $6,481 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $5,172 for the same period in 1997. The Partnership agreement limits G&A to 3% of gross oil and gas revenues. Depletion was $42,612 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to $44,179 for the same period in 1996. This represented a decrease in depletion of $1,567, or 4%. 8 Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities The Partnership's investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 were related to the addition or disposal of oil and gas equipment on active properties. Proceeds from salvage income of $14,605 were received during the three months ended March 31, 1996, resulting from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities Cash was sufficient for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to cover distributions to the partners of $119,535 of which $118,340 was distributed to the limited partners and $1,195 to the managing general partner. For the same period ended March 31, 1996, cash was sufficient for distributions to the partners of $76,891 of which $76,122 was distributed to the limited partners and $769 to the managing general partner. 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. - --------------- (1) "Item 2.
