(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 1997 (Unaudited) Note 1. Basis of presentation In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements of Parker & Parsley 86-C, Ltd. (the "Partnership") as of September 30, 1997 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 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, 1996, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Controller, 303 West Wall, Suite 101, Midland, Texas 79701. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (1) As of August 8, 1997, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA") became the general partner of the Partnership. Prior to August 8, 1997, the Partnership's general partner was Parker & Parsley Development L.P. ("PPDLP"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parker & Parsley Petroleum Company ("Parker & Parsley"). On August 7, 1997, Parker & Parsley and Mesa Inc. received shareholder approval to merge and create Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer"). On August 8, 1997, PPDLP was merged with and into Pioneer USA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, resulting in Pioneer USA becoming the general partner of the Partnership as PPDLP's successor by merger. For a more complete description of the Parker & Parsley and Mesa Inc. merger, see Pioneer's Registration Statement on Form S-4 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Results of Operations Nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with nine months ended September 30, 1996 Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 10% to $1,084,313 from $1,207,241 for the ninemonths ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine 7 months ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in revenues resulted from decreases in barrels of oil and mcf of gas produced and sold and a decrease in the average price received per barrel of oil, offset by an increase in the average price received per mcf of gas. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, 35,219 barrels of oil were sold compared to 38,211 for the same period in 1996, a decrease of 2,992 barrels, or 8%. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, 165,236 mcf of gas were sold compared to 191,063 for the same period in 1996, a decrease of 25,827 mcf, or 14%. The decreases in oil and gas production were 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. The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $1.05, or 5%, from $20.82 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $19.77 for the same period in 1997, while the average price received per mcf of gas increased 9% from $2.16 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $2.35 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 nine months ended September 30, 1997. Gain on disposition of assets was comprised of salvage income of $14,656 and $28,740 received during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, from the disposal of oil and gas equipment on one fully depleted well during each period, and a gain of $37,396 from the sale of four oil and gas wells and four saltwater disposal wells to Costilla Energy, L.L.C., during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. On April 29, 1996, Southmark Corporation, the managing general partner and the Partnership entered into a final $7.4 million settlement agreement with Jack N. Price resolving all outstanding litigation between the parties. As a result, all of the pending lawsuits and judgments have been dismissed, the supersedeas bond released, and the Reserve released as collateral. On June 28, 1996, a final distribution was made to the working interest owners of $704,864, which included $697,816, or $36.12 per limited partnership interest, to the Partnership and its partners. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $888,905 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to $947,049 for the same period in 1996, a decrease of $58,144, or 6%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs, abandoned property cost, depletion and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $586,701 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and $614,436 for the same period in 1996, resulting in a $27,735, or 5%, decrease. This decrease was the result of lower workover costs and declines 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 decreased, in aggregate, 10% from $36,218 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 to $32,530 for the same period in 1997. The Partnership agreement limits G&A to 3% of gross oil and gas revenues. 8 Depletion was $260,658 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $268,472 for the same period in 1996, representing a decrease of $7,814, or 3%. The decrease was due to the decline in oil production of 2,992 barrels from the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996, offset by a decline in oil reserves in 1997 due to lower commodity prices. Abandoned property costs during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997 totaled $27,923 and $9,016, respectively. These costs were attributable to plugging and abandonment of two uneconomical wells in 1996 and one in 1997. Three months ended September 30, 1997 compared with three months ended September 30, 1996 Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 20% to $321,035 from $400,781 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in revenues resulted from declines in barrels of oil and mcf of gas produced and sold and a lower average price received per barrel of oil. For the three months ended September 30, 1997, 10,901 barrels of oil were sold compared to 12,064 for the same period in 1996, a decrease of 1,163 barrels, or 10%. For the three months ended September 30, 1997, 56,297 mcf of gas were sold compared to 65,370 for the same period in 1996, a decrease of 9,073 mcf, or 14%. The decreases in oil and gas production were due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties. The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $3.20, or 15%, from $21.55 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $18.35 for the same period in 1997 while the average price received per mcf of gas remained constant at $2.15 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 and 1997. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $296,925 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to $278,178 for the same period in 1996, an increase of $18,747, or 7%. This increase consisted of higher production costs and abandoned property costs, offset by declines in depletion and G&A. Production costs were $196,365 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and $180,835 for the same period in 1996, resulting in a $15,530 increase, or 9%. This increase was the result of additional well repair and maintenance cost incurred in an effort to stimulate well production, offset by a decrease in workover costs. 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 $12,024 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $9,632 for the same period in 1997. Depletion was $81,912 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $85,319 for the same period in 1996, representing a decrease of $3,407, or 4%. 9 The decrease was due to the decline in oil production of 1,163 barrels for the three months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996, offset by a decline in oil reserves during the third quarter of 1997 due to lower commodity prices. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $699,188 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from the same period ended September 30, 1996. This decrease was primarily due to the receipt of litigation proceeds during 1996 as discussed in Item 2 and an increase in production costs paid, offset by an increase in oil and gas sales receipts. Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities The Partnership's investment activities during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 were related to disposal or replacement of oil and gas equipment on various oil and gas properties. Proceeds from salvage income of $14,656 and $28,740 were received during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, and are primarily from the sale of oil and gas equipment on one fully depleted well during each period. Proceeds of $39,280 were received during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from the sale of four oil and gas wells and four saltwater disposal wells. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities Cash was sufficient for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to cover distributions to the partners of $581,915 of which $5,819 was distributed to the managing general partner and $576,096 to the limited partners. For the same period ended September 30, 1996, cash was sufficient for distributions to the partners of $1,129,214 of which $11,292 was distributed to the managing general partner and $1,117,922 to the limited partners. Cash distributions to the partners of $1,129,214 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 included $7,048 to the managing general partner and $697,816 to the limited partners, resulting from proceeds received in the litigation settlement as discussed in Item 2. 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.
