NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1998
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and nature of operations
Parker & Parsley 90-B, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1990 under the laws of the State of Delaware.
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, 1998 and for the three and nine months ended
September 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.
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations (1)
Results of Operations
Nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared with nine months ended September
30, 1997
Revenues:
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 28% to $1,614,122 from
$2,253,811 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively.
The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received, offset by
an increase in production. For the nine months ended September 30, 1998, 84,630
barrels of oil, 35,335 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 153,385 mcf
7
of gas were sold, or 145,529 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the nine
months ended September 30, 1997, 85,640 barrels of oil and 242,645 mcf of gas
were sold, or 126,081 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 nine months ended September
30, 1998 is the price received for dry residue gas and the price per mcf for
natural gas for the three and nine months ended September 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 $6.29, or 32%, from
$19.75 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to $13.46 for the same
period in 1998. The average price received per barrel of NGLs during the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 was $6.88. The average price received per mcf of
gas decreased 35% from $2.32 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 to
$1.51 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 nine months ended September 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 October 30, 1998,
the market price for West Texas intermediate crude was $13.33 per barrel. A
continuation of the oil price environment experienced during the first three
quarters 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.
A gain on disposition of assets of $333 was recognized during the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 from the sale of equipment on one saltwater disposal
well plugged and abandoned in a prior year.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses decreased to $1,625,820 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to $1,661,325 for the same period in 1997, a
decrease of $35,505. The decrease was due to declines in general and
administrative expenses ("G&A") and production costs, offset by an increase in
depletion.
Production costs were $1,083,336 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998
and $1,101,953 for the same period in 1997, resulting in a $18,617 decrease. The
decrease was the result of lower production taxes and workover costs, offset by
an increase in well maintenance costs.
8
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 $73,212 for the nine months ended September
30, 1997 to $51,877 for the same period in 1998.
Depletion was $490,607 for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 compared to
$486,160 for the same period in 1997, representing an increase of $4,447. This
increase was primarily attributable to a decrease in oil reserves during the
period ended September 30, 1998 as a result of lower commodity prices, offset by
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 1,010 barrels for the period ended September 30, 1998 compared to
the same period in 1997.
Three months ended September 30, 1998 compared with three months ended September
30, 1997
Revenues:
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 24% to $501,022 from $657,599
for the three months ended September 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 September 30, 1998, 27,245
barrels of oil, 13,332 barrels of NGLs and 53,789 mcf of gas were sold, or
49,542 BOEs. For the three months ended September 30, 1997, 26,596 barrels of
oil and 81,497 mcf of gas were sold, or 40,179 BOEs.
The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $5.95, or 32%, from
$18.31 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 to $12.36 for the three
months ended September 30, 1998. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
during the three months ended September 30, 1998 was $6.23. The average price
received per mcf of gas decreased 28% from $2.09 during the three months ended
September 30, 1997 to $1.51 in 1998.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses decreased to $535,740 for the three months ended
September 30, 1998 as compared to $577,490 for the same period in 1997, a
decrease of $41,750, or 7%. This decrease was due to lower production costs and
G&A, offset by an increase in depletion.
Production costs were $339,898 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 and
$402,333 for the same period in 1997 resulting in a $62,435 decrease, or 16%.
The decrease was the result of lower workover expenses, production taxes, ad
valorem taxes and well 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, 32%, from $22,175 for the three months ended September
30, 1997 to $15,031 for the same period in 1998.
9
Depletion was $180,811 for the three months ended September 30, 1998 compared to
$152,982 for the same period in 1997, representing an increase of $27,829, or
18%. This increase was primarily attributable to a decrease in oil reserves
during the period ended September 30, 1998 as a result of lower commodity prices
and an increase in oil production of 649 barrels for the period ended September
30, 1998 compared to the same period in 1997, offset by a reduction in the
Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS
121 during the fourth quarter of 1997.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $790,195 during the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 from the same period ended September 30, 1997.
This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in oil and gas sales receipts.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
The Partnership's investing activities during the nine months ended September
30, 1998 and 1997 included expenditures related to equipment replacement on
various oil and gas properties.
Proceeds from asset dispositions of $333 were received during the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 from the sale of equipment on one saltwater disposal
well abandoned in a prior year.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash was sufficient for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 to cover
distributions to the partners of $618,985 of which $6,190 was distributed to the
managing general partner and $612,795 to the limited partners. For the same
period ended September 30, 1997, cash was sufficient for distributions to the
partners of $1,406,245 of which $14,062 was distributed to the managing general
partner and $1,392,183 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.
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.
10
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.
The assessment phase of the managing general partner's Year 2000 project is 85%
complete and has included, but is not limited to, the following procedures:
o The identification of necessary remediation, upgrade 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 expects to complete the assessment phase of its
Year 2000 project by the end of the first quarter of 1999 but is being delayed
by limited responses received on inquiries made of third party businesses. To
date, the managing general partner has distributed Year 2000 problem inquiries
to over 500 entities and has received responses on approximately 10% of those
inquiries.
The remedial phase of the managing general partner's Year 2000 project is
approximately 40% complete, subject to the results of the third party inquiry
assessments and the testing phase. 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 is currently testing this system for Year 2000
compliance. The remediation of non-information technology is expected to be
completed by mid-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 expects to complete the testing of the
Artesia system upgrades by March 1999 and all other information technology
11
systems by May 1999. The testing of the non-information technology remediation
is scheduled to be completed by the end of September 1999.
The managing general partner expects that its total costs related to the Year
2000 problem will approximate $3.5 million, of which approximately $500 thousand
will have been incurred to replace non-compliant information technology systems.
As of September 30, 1998, the managing general partner's total costs incurred on
the Year 2000 problem were $1.5 million, of which $200 thousand were incurred to
replace non-compliant systems. 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
and such allocation should not be significant to the Partnership.
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 problems
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. In the assessment phase of the
managing general partner's Year 2000 project, contingency plans are being
designed to mitigate the exposures noted above. However, 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.
