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 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. 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 Six months ended June 30, 1998 compared with six months ended June 30, 1997 Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 29% to $216,312 from $304,025 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 7 production. For the six months ended June 30, 1998, 10,146 barrels of oil, 5,143 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 23,870 mcf of gas were sold, or 19,267 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30, 1997, 10,223 barrels of oil and 40,467 mcf of gas were sold, or 16,968 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 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 $6.22, or 30%, from $20.48 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $14.26 for the same period in 1998. The average price received per barrel of NGLs during the six months ended June 30, 1998 was $7.06. The average price received per mcf of gas decreased from $2.34 during the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $1.48 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. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $284,032 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $302,062 for the same period in 1997, a decrease of $18,030, or 6%. This decrease was due to declines in depletion and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by an increase in production costs. Production costs were $216,919 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and $209,968 for the same period in 1997 resulting in a $6,951 increase, or 3%. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in well maintenance costs incurred in an effort to stimulate well production, offset by a decrease 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, 29% from $9,121 for the six months ended June 30, 1997 to $6,489 for the same period in 1998. 8 Depletion was $60,624 for the six months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $82,973 for the same period in 1997. This represented a decrease in depletion of $22,349, or 27%. 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 77 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 21% to $104,404 from $131,627 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, 5,122 barrels of oil, 2,609 barrels of NGLs and 11,273 mcf of gas were sold, or 9,610 BOEs. For the three months ended June 30, 1997, 4,680 barrels of oil and 21,506 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,264 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $5.43, or 29%, from $18.92 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $13.49 for the same period in 1998. The average price received per barrel of NGLs during the three months ended June 30, 1998 was $7.16. The average price received per mcf of gas decreased 27% from $2.00 during the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $1.47 in 1998. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $140,426 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 as compared to $149,327 for the same period in 1997, a decrease of $8,901, or 6%. This decrease was due to declines in depletion and G&A, offset by an increase in production costs. Production costs were $106,537 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 and $105,017 for the same period in 1997 resulting in a $1,520 increase. This increase was primarily the result of an increase in well maintenance costs, offset by a decrease 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, 21% from $3,949 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $3,132 for the same period in 1998. Depletion was $30,757 for the three months ended June 30, 1998 compared to $40,361 for the same period in 1997. This represented a decrease in depletion of $9,604, or 24%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS 9 121 during the fourth quarter of 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 $104,528 during the six months ended June 30, 1998 from the same period ended June 30, 1997. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in oil and gas sales receipts, offset by declines in production costs and G&A expenses paid. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's principal investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 included expenditures related to equipment replacement on various oil and gas properties. Proceeds from asset dispositions during 1997 resulted from the final post closing adjustment of $34,787 from the 1996 sale of properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities Cash was sufficient for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to cover distributions to the partners of $70,764 of which $708 was distributed to the managing general partner and $70,056 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 1997, cash was sufficient for distributions to the partners of $185,198 of which $1,851 was distributed to the managing general partner and $183,347 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 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. 10 - --------------- (1) "Item 2.
