PART I. - FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 1. Financial Statements
The unaudited condensed financial statements included herein have
been prepared by the Registrant (herein also referred to as the
"Partnership") in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial information and with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X.
Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments
necessary for a fair presentation have been included and are of a
normal recurring nature. The financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes
thereto for the year ended December 31, 2002, which are found in the
Registrant's Form 10-K/A Report for 2002 filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission. The December 31, 2002 balance sheet
included herein has been taken from the Registrant's 2002 Form 10-K/A
Report. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31,
2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the full year.
Introductory Note - Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No.
143
The Partnership implemented SFAS No. 143 effective January 1, 2003
(See Note 3) to the Partnership's financial statements. Subsequent
to the filing of the Partnership's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the
Partnership discovered an omission in the calculation of the asset
retirement liability and therefore has restated it's unaudited
condensed financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2003 as
described in Note 5 to the Partnership's financial statements.
Introductory Note - Depletion Method
During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Partnership changed its method
of providing for depletion from the units-of-revenue method to the
units-of-production method as described in Notes 4 and 6 to the
Partnership's financial statements.
This change in depletion method was applied as a cumulative effect of
a change in accounting principle effective as of January 1, 2002.
The unaudited condensed financial statements of the Partnership for
the period ended March 31, 2002, included herein, have been restated
(as described in Notes 4 and 6 to the Partnership's financial
statements) using the new depletion method and differ from those
previously issued in the Partnership's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the period ended March 31, 2002.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization
Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund X-B, L.P. was organized under
the laws of the state of Delaware on November 27, 1990 for the
purpose of acquiring producing oil and gas properties and to
produce and market crude oil and natural gas produced from such
properties for a term of 50 years, unless terminated at an
earlier date as provided for in the Partnership Agreement. The
Partnership sells its oil and gas production to a variety of
purchasers with the prices it receives being dependent upon the
oil and gas economy. Southwest Royalties, Inc. serves as the
Managing General Partner and H. H. Wommack, III, as the
individual general partner. Revenues, costs and expenses are
allocated as follows:

(1) All organization costs in excess of 3% of initial
capital contributions will be paid by the Managing General
Partner and will be treated as a capital contribution. The
Partnership paid the Managing General Partner an amount
equal to 3% of initial capital contributions for such
organization costs.
(2) Administrative costs in any year, which exceed 2% of
capital contributions shall be paid by the Managing General
Partner and will be treated as a capital contribution.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The interim financial information as of March 31, 2003, and for
the three months ended March 31, 2003, is unaudited. Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in
this Form 10-Q/A pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. However, in the opinion of
management, these interim financial statements include all the
necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of the
interim periods and all such adjustments are of a normal
recurring nature. The interim consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Notes to Financial Statements
3. Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle - SFAS No.
143
On January 1, 2003, the Partnership adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations ("SFAS No. 143"). Adoption of SFAS No.
143 is required for all companies with fiscal years beginning
after June 15, 2002. The new standard requires the Partnership
to recognize a liability for the present value of all legal
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-
lived assets and to capitalize an equal amount as a cost of the
asset and depreciate the additional cost over the estimated
useful life of the asset. On January 1, 2003, the Partnership
recorded additional costs, net of accumulated depreciation, of
approximately $174,419, a long term liability of approximately
$751,711 and a loss of approximately $577,292 for the cumulative
effect on depreciation of the additional costs and accretion
expense on the liability related to expected abandonment costs
of its oil and natural gas producing properties. At March 31,
2003, the asset retirement obligation was $766,745, and the
increase in the balance from January 1, 2003 of $15,034 is due
to accretion expense. The pro forma amounts for the three
months ended March 31, 2002, which are presented on the face of
the statements of operations, reflect the effect of retroactive
application of SFAS No. 143.
4. Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle - change in
depletion method
In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Partnership changed methods
of accounting for depletion of capitalized costs from the units-
of-revenue method to the units-of-production method. The newly
adopted accounting principle is preferable in the circumstances
because the units-of-production method results in a better
matching of the costs of oil and gas production against the
related revenue received in periods of volatile prices for
production as have been experienced in recent periods.
Additionally, the units-of-production method is the predominant
method used by full cost companies in the oil and gas industry,
accordingly, the change improves the comparability of the
Partnership's financial statements with its peer group. The
Partnership adopted the units-of-production method through the
recording of a cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle in the amount of $7,000 effective as of January 1,
2002. The Partnership's depletion for the three months ended
March 31, 2003 and 2002 has been calculated using the units-of-
production method. The effect of the change on the three months
ended March 31, 2002 was to decrease income before cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle by $3,000 ($.28 per
limited partner unit) and net income by $10,000 ($.09 per
limited partner unit).

Notes to Financial Statements
5. March 31, 2003 Restatement
On January 1, 2003, the Partnership adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 143 as described in Note 3.
Subsequent to the issuance of the Partnership's Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2003, the
Partnership determined that it did not properly discount the
estimated future plugging liability to its present value.
This change in the calculation used to determine the amount of
the Partnership's asset retirement liability under SFAS No. 143
resulted in a decrease in the Partnership's previously reported
other long term liability of $201,154 from $967,899 to $766,745
as of March 31, 2003 and did not effect the Partnership's 2003
cash flows from operations, investing or financing activities.
The change had the following effects on the Statement of
Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2003. (Periods
prior to 2003 were not affected by the change).

6. March 31, 2002 Restatement
During the fourth quarter of 2002, the Partnership changed its
method of providing for depletion from the units-of-revenue
method to the units-of-production method as described in Note 4.
Subsequent to the issuance of the Partnership's Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2003, the
Partnership determined that the above change in accounting
method should have been adopted by the Partnership as a
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle effective
as of January 1, 2002. The Partnership had previously applied
the change in the method of providing for depletion
prospectively as of October 1, 2002.
This change in the method used to implement the Partnership's
change in the manner in which it determines depletion resulted
in a decrease in the Partnership's previously reported net oil
and gas properties of $9,000 from $291,825 to $282,825 as of
December 31, 2002 and did not effect the Partnership's 2002 cash
flows from operations, investing or financing activities.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations
General
Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund X-B, L.P. was organized as a Delaware
limited partnership on November 27, 1990. The offering of such
limited partnership interests began on December 1, 1990 as part of a
shelf offering registered under the name Southwest Oil & Gas 1990-91
Income Program. Minimum capital requirements for the Partnership
were met on March 1, 1991, with the offering of limited partnership
interests concluding on September 30, 1991, with total limited
partner contributions of $5,444,500.
The Partnership was formed to acquire interests in producing oil and
gas properties, to produce and market crude oil and natural gas
produced from such properties, and to distribute the net proceeds
from operations to the limited and general partners. Net revenues
from producing oil and gas properties will not be reinvested in other
revenue producing assets except to the extent that production
facilities and wells are improved or reworked or where methods are
employed to improve or enable more efficient recovery of oil and gas
reserves. The economic life of the Partnership thus depends on the
period over which the Partnership's oil and gas reserves are
economically recoverable.
Increases or decreases in Partnership revenues and, therefore,
distributions to partners will depend primarily on changes in the
prices received for production, changes in volumes of production
sold, lease operating expenses, enhanced recovery projects, offset
drilling activities pursuant to farm-out arrangements, sales of
properties, and the depletion of wells. Since wells deplete over
time, production can generally be expected to decline from year to
year.
Well operating costs and general and administrative costs usually
decrease with production declines; however, these costs may not
decrease proportionately. Net income available for distribution to
the partners is therefore expected to fluctuate in later years based
on these factors.
Based on current conditions, management anticipates performing
drilling projects and workovers during the years 2003 and 2004 to
enhance production. The partnership may have an increase in
production volumes for the years 2003 and 2004, otherwise, the
partnership will most likely experience the historical production
decline, which has approximated 8% per year.
Oil and Gas Properties
Oil and gas properties are accounted for at cost under the full-cost
method. Under this method, all productive and nonproductive costs
incurred in connection with the acquisition, exploration and
development of oil and gas reserves are capitalized. Gain or loss on
the sale of oil and gas properties is not recognized unless
significant oil and gas reserves are involved.
In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Partnership changed methods of
accounting for depletion of capitalized costs from the units-of-
revenue method to the units-of-production method. The newly adopted
accounting principle is preferable in the circumstances because the
units-of-production method results in a better matching of the costs
of oil and gas production against the related revenue received in
periods of volatile prices for production as have been experienced in
recent periods. Additionally, the units-of-production method is the
predominant method used by full cost companies in the oil and gas
industry, accordingly, the change improves the comparability of the
Partnership's financial statements with its peer group. The effect
of this change in method was to increase depletion expense for the
three months ended March 31, 2002 by $3,000 and decrease net income
for the three months ended March 31, 2002 by $10,000. See Note 4 of
the notes to the Partnership's financial statements.
Should the net capitalized costs exceed the estimated present value
of oil and gas reserves, discounted at 10%, such excess costs would
be charged to current expense. As of March 31, 2003, the net
capitalized costs did not exceed the estimated present value of oil
and gas reserves.
Critical Accounting Policies
Full cost ceiling calculations The Partnership follows the full cost
method of accounting for its oil and gas properties. The full cost
method subjects companies to quarterly calculations of a "ceiling",
or limitation on the amount of properties that can be capitalized on
the balance sheet. If the Partnership's capitalized costs are in
excess of the calculated ceiling, the excess must be written off as
an expense.
The Partnership's discounted present value of its proved oil and
natural gas reserves is a major component of the ceiling calculation,
and represents the component that requires the most subjective
judgments. Estimates of reserves are forecasts based on engineering
data, projected future rates of production and the timing of future
expenditures. The process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves
requires substantial judgment, resulting in imprecise determinations,
particularly for new discoveries. Different reserve engineers may
make different estimates of reserve quantities based on the same
data. The Partnership's reserve estimates are on an annual basis
prepared by outside consultants. Quarterly reserve estimates are
prepared by the Managing General Partner's internal staff of
engineers.
The passage of time provides more qualitative information regarding
estimates of reserves, and revisions are made to prior estimates to
reflect updated information. However, there can be no assurance that
more significant revisions will not be necessary in the future. If
future significant revisions are necessary that reduce previously
estimated reserve quantities, it could result in a full cost property
writedown. In addition to the impact of these estimates of proved
reserves on calculation of the ceiling, estimates of proved reserves
are also a significant component of the calculation of DD&A.
While the quantities of proved reserves require substantial judgment,
the associated prices of oil and natural gas reserves that are
included in the discounted present value of the reserves do not
require judgment. The ceiling calculation dictates that prices and
costs in effect as of the last day of the period are generally held
constant indefinitely. Because the ceiling calculation dictates that
prices in effect as of the last day of the applicable quarter are
held constant indefinitely, the resulting value is not indicative of
the true fair value of the reserves. Oil and natural gas prices have
historically been cyclical and, on any particular day at the end of a
quarter, can be either substantially higher or lower than the
Partnership's long-term price forecast that is a barometer for true
fair value.
In the fourth quarter of 2002, the Partnership changed methods of
accounting for depletion of capitalized costs from the units-of-
revenue method to the units-of-production method. The newly adopted
accounting principle is preferable in the circumstances because the
units-of-production method results in a better matching of the costs
of oil and gas production against the related revenue received in
periods of volatile prices for production as have been experienced in
recent periods. Additionally, the units-of-production method is the
predominant method used by full cost companies in the oil and gas
industry, accordingly, the change improves the comparability of the
Partnership's financial statements with its peer group. The effect
of this change in method was to increase depletion expense for the
three months ended March 31, 2002 by $3,000 and decrease net income
for the three months ended March 31, 2002 by $10,000.

Revenues
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased to $261,945 from
$157,178 for the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002,
respectively, an increase of 67%. The principal factors affecting
the comparison of the quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002 are as
follows:
1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
increased during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to
the quarter ended March 31, 2002 by 76%, or $13.80 per barrel,
resulting in an increase of approximately $88,300 in revenues.
Oil sales represented 78% of total oil and gas sales during the
quarters ended March 31, 2003 as compared to 87% during the
quarter ended March 31, 2002.
The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership
increased during the same period by 214%, or $3.75 per mcf,
resulting in an increase of approximately $39,000 in revenues.
The total increase in revenues due to the change in prices
received from oil and gas production is approximately $127,300.
The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile over
the past decade and management expects a certain amount of
volatility to continue in the foreseeable future.
2. Oil production decreased approximately 1,100 barrels or 15%
during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the
quarter ended March 31, 2002, resulting in a decrease of
approximately $20,000 in revenues.
Gas production decreased approximately 1,400 mcf or 12% during
the same period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $2,500
in revenues.
The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
approximately $22,500.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses increased to $226,740 from $164,443 for the
quarters ended March 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively, an increase of
38%. The increase is a direct result of the accretion expense
associated with our long term liability related to expected
abandonment costs of our oil and natural gas properties, lease
operating costs, depletion expense and general and administrative
expense.
1. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 33% higher, or
approximately $45,200 more during the quarter ended March 31,
2003 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The
increase in lease operating expense and production taxes is due
primarily to one lease, which incurred general repairs and
maintenance performed in 2003, and the increase in production
taxes in relation to the increase in gross revenues received in
2003.
2. General and administrative costs consist of independent
accounting and engineering fees, computer services, postage, and
Managing General Partner personnel costs. General and
administrative costs increased 1% or approximately $100 during
the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared to the quarter ended
March 31, 2002.
3. Depletion expense increased to $12,000 for the quarter ended
March 31, 2003 from $10,000 for the same period in 2002. This
represents an increase of 20%. In the fourth quarter of 2002,
the Partnership changed methods of accounting for depletion of
capitalized costs from the units-of-revenue method to the units-
of-production method. The newly adopted accounting principle is
preferable in the circumstances because the units-of-production
method results in a better matching of the costs of oil and gas
production against the related revenue received in periods of
volatile prices for production as have been experienced in recent
periods. Additionally, the units-of-production method is the
predominant method used by full cost companies in the oil and gas
industry, accordingly, the change improves the comparability of
the Partnership's financial statements with its peer group. The
effect of this change in method was to increase depletion expense
for the three months ended March 31, 2002 by $3,000 and decrease
net income for the three months ended March 31, 2002 by $10,000.
The contributing factor to the increase in depletion expense is
in relation to the BOE depletion rate for the quarter ended March
31, 2003, which was $1.48 applied to 8,133 BOE as compared to
$1.06 applied to 9,467 BOE for the same period.
Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle
On January 1, 2003, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations ("SFAS No. 143"). Adoption of SFAS No. 143 is required
for all companies with fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.
The new standard requires the Partnership to recognize a liability
for the present value of all legal obligations associated with the
retirement of tangible long-lived assets and to capitalize an equal
amount as a cost of the asset and depreciate the additional cost over
the estimated useful life of the asset. On January 1, 2003, the
Partnership recorded additional costs, net of accumulated
depreciation, of approximately $174,419, a long term liability of
approximately $751,711 and a loss of approximately $577,292 for the
cumulative effect on depreciation of the additional costs and
accretion expense on the liability related to expected abandonment
costs of its oil and natural gas producing properties. At March 31,
2003, the asset retirement obligation was $766,745, and the increase
in the balance from January 1, 2003 of $15,034 is due to accretion
expense. The pro forma amounts for the three months ended March 31,
2002, which are presented on the face of the statements of
operations, reflect the effect of retroactive application of SFAS No.
143.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The primary source of cash is from operations, the receipt of income
from interests in oil and gas properties. The Partnership knows of
no material change, nor does it anticipate any such change.
Cash flows provided by (used in) operating activities were
approximately $36,600 in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared
to approximately $(2,500) in the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The
primary source of the 2003 cash flows from operating activities is
profitable operations.
Cash flows (used in) provided by investing activities were
approximately $(100) in the quarter ended March 31, 2003 as compared
to approximately $100 in the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The
principle use of the 2003 cash flow from investing activities was
additions to oil and gas properties.
Cash flows used in financing activities approximately $35,200 in the
quarter ended March 31, 2003. There were no cash flows used in
financing activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2002. The only
use in financing activities was the distribution to partners.
Total distributions during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 were
$35,000 of which $31,500 was distributed to the limited partners and
$3,500 to the general partners. The per unit distribution to limited
partners during the quarter ended March 31, 2003 was $2.89. There
were no distributions during the quarter ended March 31, 2002.
The sources for the 2003 distributions of $35,000 were oil and gas
operations of approximately $36,600, resulting in excess cash for
contingencies or subsequent distributions.
Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash
distributions of $5,527,571 have been made to the partners. As of
March 31, 2003, $5,001,269 or $459.30 per limited partner unit has
been distributed to the limited partners, representing a 92% return
of the capital contributed.
As of March 31, 2003, the Partnership had approximately $131,100 in
working capital. The Managing General Partner knows of no unusual
contractual commitments. Although the partnership held many long-
lived properties at inception, because of the restrictions on
property development imposed by the partnership agreement, the
Partnership cannot develop its non producing properties, if any.
Without continued development, the producing reserves continue to
deplete. Accordingly, as the Partnership's properties have matured
and depleted, the net cash flows from operations for the partnership
has steadily declined, except in periods of substantially increased
commodity pricing. Maintenance of properties and administrative
expenses for the Partnership are increasing relative to production.
As the properties continue to deplete, maintenance of properties and
administrative costs as a percentage of production are expected to
continue to increase.
The Managing General Partner has examined various alternatives to
address the issue of depleting producing reserves. Continuing
operations exposes the partnership to an inevitable decline in
operating results and distributions of cash. Liquidating the
partnership would result in immediate realization of cash for limited
partners, but prices paid by purchasers of Partnership property in
liquidation would likely include a substantial discount for risks and
uncertainties of future cash flows, as well as any development risks.
After reviewing various alternatives, we initiated a plan to merge
the Partnership and 20 other limited partnerships with and into the
Managing General Partner. On October 17, 2002, the Managing General
Partner filed a Registration Statement on form S-4 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission relating to this proposed merger.
There is no assurance, however, that this merger will be consummated.
Liquidity - Managing General Partner
The Managing General Partner has a highly leveraged capital structure
with approximately $124.0 million of principal due between December
31, 2002 and December 31, 2004. The Managing General Partner is
constantly monitoring its cash position and its ability to meet its
financial obligations as they become due, and in this effort, is
continually exploring various strategies for addressing its current
and future liquidity needs. The Managing General Partner regularly
pursues and evaluates recapitalization strategies and acquisition
opportunities (including opportunities to engage in mergers,
consolidations or other business combinations) and at any given time
may be in various stages of evaluating such opportunities.
Based on current production, commodity prices and cash flow from
operations, the Managing General Partner has adequate cash flow to
fund debt service, developmental projects and day to day operations,
but it is not sufficient to build a cash balance which would allow
the Managing General Partner to meet its debt principal maturities
scheduled for 2004. Therefore the Managing General Partner is
currently seeking to renegotiate the terms of its obligations,
including extending maturity dates, or to engage new lenders or
equity investors in order to satisfy its financial obligations
maturing in 2004.
There can be no assurance that the Managing General Partner's debt
restructuring efforts will be successful. In the event these efforts
are unsuccessful, the Managing General Partner would need to look to
other alternatives to meet its debt obligations, including
potentially selling its assets. There can be no assurance, however,
that the sales of assets can be successfully accomplished on terms
acceptable to the Managing General Partner. Please see the
Partnership's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period
ended September 30, 2003, which will be filed with the Commission on
or before November 14, 2003, for updated information on the liquidity
of the Managing General Partner. The liquidity of the Managing
General Partner, however, does not have a material impact on the
operations of the Partnership. The partnership agreement of the
Partnership allows the limited partners to elect a successor managing
general partner to continue Partnership operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB has issued Statement No. 143 "Accounting for Asset
Retirement Obligations" which establishes requirements for the
accounting of removal-type costs associated with asset retirements.
The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15,
2002, with earlier application encouraged. This statement has been
adopted by the Partnership effective January 1, 2003. The transition
adjustment resulting from the adoption of SFAS No. 143 has been
reported as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.
In April 2003, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 149, Amendment of Statement No. 133 on Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities ("SFAS No. 149"). SFAS No. 149
amendments require that contracts with comparable characteristics be
accounted for similarly, clarifies when a contract with an initial
investment meets the characteristic of a derivative and clarifies
when a derivative requires special reporting in the statement of cash
flows. SFAS No. 149 is effective for hedging relationships
designated and for contracts entered into or modified after June 30,
2003, except for provisions that relate to SFAS No. 133 Statement
Implementation Issues that have been effective for fiscal quarters
prior to June 15, 2003, should be applied in accordance with their
respective effective dates and certain provisions relating to forward
purchases or sales of when-issued securities or other securities that
do not yet exist, should be applied to existing contracts as well as
new contracts entered into after June 30, 2003. Assessment by the
Managing General Partner revealed this pronouncement to have no
impact on the partnership.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Partnership is not a party to any derivative or embedded
derivative instruments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. The chief
executive officer and chief financial officer of the Partnership's
managing general partner have evaluated the effectiveness of the
design and operation of the Partnership's disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(c)) as of a date
within 90 days of the filing date of this quarterly report. Based on
that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial
officer have concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to ensure that material information relating
to the Partnership and the Partnership's consolidated subsidiaries is
made known to such officers by others within these entities,
particularly during the period this quarterly report was prepared, in
order to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b) Changes in Internal Controls. There have not been any
significant changes in the Partnership's internal controls or in
other factors that could significantly affect these controls
subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
