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, 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. 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 36% to $269,203 from $423,075 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, 11,353 barrels of oil, 7,128 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 33,316 mcf of gas were sold, or 24,034 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 1997, 12,391 barrels of oil and 53,097 mcf of gas were sold, or 21,241 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 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). 7 The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $7.02, or 32%, from $21.92 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $14.90 for the same period in 1998. The average price received per barrel of NGLs during the three months ended March 31, 1998 was $6.85. The average price received per mcf of gas decreased 46% from $2.85 during the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $1.54 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. Gain on disposition of assets of $71 and $14,656 was received during the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, from the disposal of oil and gas equipment on fully depleted wells. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $258,811 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 as compared to $294,122 for the same period in 1997, a decrease of $35,311, or 12%. This decrease was due to declines in depletion, general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and production costs, offset by an increase in abandoned property costs. Production costs were $188,130 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and $188,198 for the same period in 1997, resulting in slight decline of $68. This decrease was due to a decline in well maintenance costs and production taxes, offset by an increase in ad valorem 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, 36% from $12,692 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $8,076 for the same period in 1998. Depletion was $62,070 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to $93,232 for the same period in 1997. This represented a decrease in depletion of $31,162, or 33%. 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 1,038 barrels for the period ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997, offset by a decline in oil reserves during the three months ended March 31, 1998 as a result of lower commodity prices. Abandoned property costs during the three months ended March 31, 1998 totaled $535. These costs were incurred in association with the plugging and abandonment of one uneconomical well. 8 Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities: Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $154,353 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 from the same period in 1997. This decline was due to decreases in oil and gas sales receipts and production costs paid, offset by a decrease in G&A expenses paid. Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities The Partnership's investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997 were related to additions of oil and gas equipment on active properties. Proceeds from asset disposition of $71 and $14,656 received from equipment disposal during the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, 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, 1998 to cover distributions to the partners of $157,606 of which $1,577 was distributed to the managing general partner and $156,029 to the limited partners. For the same period ended March 31, 1997, cash was sufficient for distributions to the partners of $254,128 of which $2,541 was distributed to the managing general partner and $251,587 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.
