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, 1998 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, 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. Certain reclassifications have been made to the 1997 financial statements to conform to the 1998 financial statement presentation. 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 35% to $111,908 from $172,398 for the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 1998, 5,023 barrels of oil, 2,534 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 12,597 mcf of gas were sold, or 9,657 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 1997, 5,543 barrels of oil and 18,961 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,703 BOEs. 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 for periods prior to September 30, 1997. Also, prices for gas products will not be comparable as 7 the price per mcf for natural gas for the three months ended March 31, 1998 is the price received for dry residue gas and the price per mcf for natural gas for the three months ended March 31, 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 $6.75, or 31%, from $21.80 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $15.05 for the same period in 1998. The average price received per barrel of NGLs during the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $6.95. The average price received per mcf of gas decreased 46% from $2.72 during the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $1.48 for the same period 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 three months ended March 31, 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 March 1998. On April 23, 1998, the market price for West Texas intermediate crude was $13.80 per barrel. A continuation of the oil price environment experienced during the first quarter 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. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $143,606 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $152,735 for the same period in 1997, a decrease of $9,129, or 6%. This decrease was due to declines in depletion and general and administrative expense ("G&A"), offset by an increase in production costs. Production costs were $110,382 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and $104,951 for the same period in 1997 resulting in a $5,431 increase, or 5%. This increase was the result of an increase in well maintenance costs, offset by a decrease in production taxes and workover 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, 35% from $5,172 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $3,357 for the same period in 1998. Depletion was $29,867 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $42,612 for the same period in 1997. This represented a decrease in depletion of $12,745, or 30%. 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 520 barrels for the period ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997, offset by a decrease in oil reserves during the three months ended March 31, 1998 as a result of lower commodity prices. 8 Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $87,814 during the three months ended March 31, 1998 from the same period in 1997. This decrease was due primarily to a decline in oil and gas sales receipts and an increase in production costs paid, offset by a decline in G&A expenses paid. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 were primarily related to the addition of oil and gas equipment on active properties. The final post closing adjustment of $34,787 resulted from the 1996 sale of properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities Cash was sufficient for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to cover distributions to the partners of $59,108 of which $591 was distributed to the managing general partner and $58,517 to the limited partners. For the same period ended March 31, 1997, cash was sufficient for distributions to the partners of $119,535 of which $1,195 was distributed to the managing general partner and $118,340 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 software programming changes necessary to correct any existing deficiencies. Such programming changes are anticipated to be completed and tested by March 1, 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. - --------------- (1) "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.
