NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. The interim financial information included herein is unaudited; however,
such information reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for a fair presentation of results for the interim periods.
2. The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," which
requires certain assets to be reviewed for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In the
first quarter of 1996, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment
provision of $240,044 for certain oil and gas properties due to market
conditions and reserve revisions on the Lake Decade acquisition, which
indicated that the carrying amounts were not fully recoverable.
I-4
Item 2Management's Discussion and Analysis or Plan of Operation.
First Quarter 1996 Compared to First Quarter 1995
Oil and gas sales for the first quarter increased from $9,833 in 1995 to $11,904
in 1996. This represents a decrease of $2,071 (21%). Oil sales increased by $940
or 15%. A 34% increase in average net oil prices increased sales by $1,830. This
increase was partially offset by a 14% decrease in oil production. Gas sales
increased by $1,131 or 31%. A 74% increase in average gas net prices increased
sales by $2,022. This increase was partially offset by a 25% decrease in gas
production. The decrease in oil production was primarily due to natural
production declines. The decrease in gas production was primarily due to a the
lack of production from a well in the Lake Decade acquisition which began
producing water. The increase in average net prices were primarily due to lower
operating costs charged against the Company's net profits royalty properties,
especially at the Bagley acquisition, which had workovers in the first quarter
of 1995, coupled with higher prices in the overall market for the sale of oil
and gas.
Depletion expense decreased from $10,597 in the first quarter of 1995 to $1,243
in the first quarter of 1996. This represents a decrease of $9,354 (88%). The
changes in production, noted above, reduced depletion expense by $2,142. An 83%
decrease in the depletion rate reduced depletion expense by an additional
7,212. The decrease in the depletion rate was primarily due to an impairment of
property of $57,769 The decrease in the depletion rate was primarily due to the
lower property basis resulting from the recognition of a $240,044 property
impairment in the first quarter of 1996.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
Long-Lived Assets and for Long- Lived Assets to be Disposed Of," which requires
certain assets to be reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances
indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. In the first quarter of
1996, the Company recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $240,044 for
certain oil and gas properties due to market conditions and reserve revisions on
the Lake Decade acquisition, which indicated that the carrying amounts were not
fully recoverable.
General and administrative expenses increased from $2,396 in the first quarter
of 1995 to $3,539 in the first quarter of 1996. This increase of $1,143 (48%) is
primarily due to a $1,707 increase in direct expenses incurred by the Company in
1996, partially offset by less staff time being required to manage the Company's
operations.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
The Company's cash flow from operations is a direct result of the amount of net
proceeds realized from the sale of oil and gas production. Accordingly, the
changes in cash flow from 1995 to 1996 are primarily due to the changes in oil
and gas sales described above. It is the
I-5
general partner's intention to distribute substantially all of the Company's
available cash flow to the Company's partners.
The Company will continue to recover its reserves and distribute to the limited
partners the net proceeds realized from the sale of oil and gas production after
payment of its debt obligations. Distribution amounts are subject to change if
net revenues are greater or less than expected. Based upon current projected
cash flows from the properties, it does not appear that the Company will have
sufficient cash to pay its operating expenses, repay its debt obligations and
pay distributions.
