Organization and nature of operations Parker & Parsley 86-C, 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 increased to $423,075 from $390,535 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, an increase of 8%. The increase in revenues resulted from a 16% increase in the average price received per barrel of oil and a 37% increase in the average price received per mcf of gas, offset by an 8% decline in barrels of oil produced and sold and an 18% decline in mcf of gas produced and sold. For the three months ended March 31, 1997, 12,391 barrels of oil were sold compared to 13,477 for the same period in 1996, a decrease of 1,086 barrels. For the three months ended March 31, 1997, 53,097 mcf of gas were sold compared to 64,863 for the same period in 1996, a decrease of 11,766 mcf. The decreases in production volumes were primarily due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties. Because of these 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. 7 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $2.95 from $18.97 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $21.92 for the same period in 1997, while the average price received per mcf of gas increased from $2.08 during the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $2.85 for the same period in 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. Salvage income of $14,656 and $28,740 was received during the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, from the disposal of oil and gas equipment on two fully depleted wells. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $294,122 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 as compared to $357,410 for the same period in 1996, a decrease of $63,288, or 18%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs, depletion and abandoned property costs, offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $188,198 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and $227,200 for the same period in 1996, resulting in a $39,002 decrease, or 17%. This decrease was due to a decline in well repair and maintenance costs. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased, in aggregate, 8% from $11,716 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $12,692 for the same period in 1997. The Partnership agreement limits G&A to 3% of gross oil and gas revenues. Depletion was $93,232 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to $97,143 for the same period in 1996. This represented a decrease in depletion of $3,911, or 4%. Abandoned property costs during the three months ended March 31, 1996 totaled $21,351. These costs were incurred in association with the plugging and abandonment of two uneconomical wells. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities increased $154,810 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 from the same period in 1996. This increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts and decreases in expenditures for production costs and abandoned property costs paid, offset by an increase in G&A expenses paid. 8 Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities The Partnership's investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 were related to additions of oil and gas equipment on active properties. Proceeds of $14,656 and $28,740 received from salvage income during the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, resulted from the sale of oil and gas equipment on fully depleted wells. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities Cash was sufficient for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to cover distributions to the partners of $254,128 of which $251,587 was distributed to the limited partners and $2,541 to the managing general partner. For the same period ended March 31, 1996, cash was sufficient for distributions to the partners of $116,676 of which $115,509 was distributed to the limited partners and $1,167 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.
