(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1999 (Unaudited) Note 1. 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 September 30, 1999 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 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, 1998, 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. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (1) Results of Operations Nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared with nine months ended September 30, 1998 Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 25% to $406,888 from $324,543 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received and an increase in production. For the nine months ended September 30, 1999, 14,384 barrels of oil, 12,143 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 52,746 mcf of 7 gas were sold, or 35,318 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, 15,543 barrels of oil, 8,486 barrels of NGLs and 37,697 mcf of gas were sold, or 30,312 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.50, or 11%, from $13.65 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to $15.15 for the same period in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.09, or 31%, from $6.70 during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to $8.79 for the same period in 1999. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 5% from $1.48 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to $1.56 for the same period in 1999. 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 nine months ended September 30, 1999. The volatility of commodity prices has had, and continues to have, a significant impact on the Partnership's revenues and operating cash flow and could result in additional decreases to the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas properties. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $321,647 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $465,889 for the same period in 1998, a decrease of $144,242, or 31%. This decrease was due to declines in depletion and production costs, offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $239,085 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and $288,648 for the same period in 1998 resulting in a $49,563 decrease, or 17%. This decrease was primarily the result of reductions in well maintenance costs, workover costs and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase 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 increased from $9,736 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to $12,207 for the same period in 1999. The increase in G&A was due to accrued 1999 tax processing services as compared to the 1998 tax services which were paid during the first six months of 1999. Depletion was $70,355 for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $167,505 for the same period in 1998, representing a decrease of $97,150, or 58%. This decrease was the result of a combination of factors that included an increase in proved reserves during the period ended September 30, 1999 due to higher commodity prices, a reduction in oil production of 1,159 barrels for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998 and 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 1998. 8 Three months ended September 30, 1999 compared with three months ended September 30, 1998 Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 60% to $173,469 from $108,231 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received and an increase in production. For the three months ended September 30, 1999, 4,522 barrels of oil, 4,548 barrels of NGLs and 19,575 mcf of gas were sold, or 12,333 BOEs. For the three months ended September 30, 1998, 5,397 barrels of oil, 3,343 barrels of NGLs and 13,827 mcf of gas were sold, or 11,045 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $6.71, or 54%, from $12.49 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 to $19.20 for the same period in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $5.04, or 82%, from $6.14 during the three months ended September 30, 1998 to $11.18 for the same period in 1999. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 24% from $1.47 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 to $1.83 for the same period in 1999. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $89,402 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 as compared to $181,857 for the same period in 1998, a decrease of $92,455, or 51%. This decrease was due to a decline in depletion, offset by increases in production costs and G&A. Production costs were $76,203 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 and $71,729 for the same period in 1998 resulting in a $4,474 increase, or 6%. This increase was primarily due to higher well maintenance costs and production taxes, offset by lower ad valorem taxes. During this period, G&A increased from $3,247 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 to $5,205 for the same period in 1999. The increase in G&A was due to accrued 1999 tax processing services as compared to the 1998 tax services which were paid during the first six months of 1999. Depletion was $7,994 for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to $106,881 for the same period in 1998, representing a decrease of $98,887, or 93%. This decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in proved reserves during the period ended September 30, 1999 as a result of higher commodity prices, a reduction in oil production of 875 barrels for the three months ended September 30, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998 and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $56,036 during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 from the same period ended September 30, 1998. This increase was due to declines in production costs paid of $40,396 and in G&A 9 expenses paid of $18,016, offset by declines in oil and gas sales receipts of $1,137 and in interest income of $1,239. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 included expenditures related to equipment replacement on various oil and gas properties. Proceeds from asset dispositions of $120 received during the nine months ended September 30, 1999 were primarily from equipment credits received on active properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities Cash was sufficient for the nine months ended September 30, 1999 to cover distributions to the partners of $96,174 of which $962 was distributed to the managing general partner and $95,212 to the limited partners. For the same period ended September 30, 1998, cash was sufficient for distributions to the partners of $81,188 of which $812 was distributed to the managing general partner and $80,376 to the limited partners. From the third quarter of 1997 through the first quarter of 1999, there was a declining trend in oil and gas price levels. During the first quarter of 1999, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned export volumes. These announcements, together with the enactment of announced reductions in export volumes, have had a positive impact on world crude oil prices since first quarter of 1999. No assurances can be given that the reductions in export volumes or the positive trend in oil and gas commodity prices can be sustained for an extended period of time. Year 2000 Project Readiness Historically, many computer programs have been developed that use only the last two digits in a date to refer to a year. As the year 2000 nears, the inability of such computer programs and embedded technologies to distinguish between "1900" and "2000" has given rise to the "Year 2000" problem. Theoretically, such computer programs and related technology could fail outright, or communicate inaccurate data, if not remediated or replaced. With the proliferation of electronic data interchange, the Year 2000 problem represents a significant exposure to the entire global community, the full extent of which cannot be accurately assessed. In proactive response to the Year 2000 problem, the managing general partner established a "Year 2000" project to assess, to the extent possible, the Partnership's and the managing general partner's internal Year 2000 problem; to take remedial actions necessary to minimize the Year 2000 risk exposure to the managing general partner and significant third parties with whom it has data interchange; and, to test its systems and processes once remedial actions have been taken. The managing general partner has contracted with IBM Global Services to perform the assessment and remedial phases of its Year 2000 project. As of September 30, 1999, the assessment phase of the managing general partner's Year 2000 project is complete and has included, but was not limited to, the following procedures: 10 o the identification of necessary remediation, upgrades and/or replacement of existing information technology applications and systems; o the assessment of non-information technology exposures, such as telecommunications systems, security systems, elevators and process control equipment; o the initiation of inquiry and dialogue with significant third party business partners, customers and suppliers in an effort to understand and assess their Year 2000 problems, readiness and potential impact on the managing general partner and its Year 2000 problem; o the implementation of processes designed to reduce the risk of reintroduction of Year 2000 problems into the managing general partner's systems and business processes; and, o the formulation of contingency plans for mission-critical information technology systems. The managing general partner distributed Year 2000 problem inquiries to over 500 entities and has received responses to approximately 52% of the inquiries. The remedial phase of the managing general partner's Year 2000 project is in the final stages of completion as it pertains to the remediation of information technology and non-information technology applications and systems in the United States, Canada and Argentina. As of September 30, 1999, the remedial phase of the managing general partner's Year 2000 project was approximately 98% complete, on a world wide basis, subject to continuing evaluations of the responses to third party inquiries and to the testing phase results. The remedial phase has included the upgrade and/or replacement of certain application and hardware systems. The managing general partner has upgraded its Artesia general ledger accounting systems through remedial coding and has completed the testing of the system for Year 2000 compliance. The remediation of non-information technology was 97% complete as of September 30, 1999, and was completed in October 1999. The managing general partner's Year 2000 remedial actions have not delayed other information technology projects or upgrades. The testing phase of the managing general partner's Year 2000 project is on schedule. The managing general partner completed the testing of non-information technology remediation in October 1999. The testing of information technology remediation is scheduled to be completed by the end of November 1999. The managing general partner now expects that its total costs related to the Year 2000 problem will approximate $2.9 million. As of September 30, 1999, the managing general partner's total costs incurred on the Year 2000 problem were $2.5 million. The risks associated with the Year 2000 problem are significant. A failure to remedy a critical Year 2000 problem could have a materially adverse affect on the Partnership's results of operations and financial condition. The most likely worst case scenario which may be encountered as a result of a Year 2000 problem could include information and non-information system failures, the receipt or transmission of erroneous data, lost data or a combination of similar problems of a magnitude that cannot be accurately assessed at this time. 11 In the business continuity and contingency planning phase of the managing general partner's Year 2000 project, contingency plans were designed to mitigate the exposures to mission critical information technology systems, such as oil and gas sales receipts, vendor and royalty cash distributions, debt compliance, accounting, and employee compensation. Such contingency plans anticipate the extensive utilization of third-party data processing services, personal computer applications and the substitution of courier and mail services in place of electronic data interchange. Given the uncertainties regarding the scope of the Year 2000 problem and the compliance of significant third parties, there can be no assurance that contingency plans will have anticipated all Year 2000 scenarios. - --------------- (1) "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that the actual events and results will not be materially different than the anticipated results described in the forward looking statements. Part II.
