Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
General
Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund X-C, L.P. was organized as a Delaware
limited partnership on September 20, 1991. The offering of such limited
partnership interests began October 1, 1991 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 January 13,
1992 and the offering concluded on April 30, 1992 with total limited
partner contributions of $3,123,000.
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.
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 farmout 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 does not anticipate performing
workovers during 1998. The Partnership could possibly experience a low
decline.
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.
The Partnership's policy for depreciation, depletion and amortization of
oil and gas properties is computed under the units of revenue method.
Under the units of revenue method, depreciation, depletion and amortization
is computed on the basis of current gross revenues from production in
relation to future gross revenues, based on current prices, from estimated
production of proved oil and gas reserves.
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 September 30, 1998, the net capitalized costs did
not exceed the estimated present value of the oil and gas reserves. A
continuation of the oil price environment experienced during the first
three quarters of 1998 will have an adverse affect on the Company's
revenues and operating cash flow. Also, further declines in oil prices
could result in additional decreases in the carrying value of the Company's
oil and gas properties.
Results of Operations
A. General Comparison of the Quarters Ended September 30, 1998 and 1997
The following table provides certain information regarding performance
factors for the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997:
Three Months
Ended Percentage
September 30, Increase
1998 1997 (Decrease)
---- ---- ---------
Average price per barrel of oil $ 10,43 17.23 (39%)
Average price per mcf of gas $ 2,44 2.46 (1%)
Oil production in barrels 10,000 11,400 (12%)
Gas production in mcf 26,100 31,700 (18%)
Gross oil and gas revenue $ 168,039 274,504 (39%)
Net oil and gas revenue $ 25,562 111,093 (77%)
Partnership distributions $ 21,500 189,000 (89%)
Limited partner distributions $ 19,350 170,100 (89%)
Per unit distribution to limited partners $ 3.10 27.23 (89%)
Number of limited partner units 6,246 6,246
Revenues
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $168,039 from $274,504
for the quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, a
decrease of 39%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the
quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:
1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
decreased during the quarter ended September 30, 1998 as compared to
the quarter ended September 30, 1997 by 39%, or $6.80 per barrel,
resulting in a decrease of approximately $77,500 in revenues. Oil
sales represented 62% of total oil and gas sales during the quarter
ended September 30, 1998 as compared to 72% during the quarter ended
September 30, 1997.
The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership
decreased during the same period by 1%, or $.02 per mcf, resulting in a
decrease of approximately $600 in revenues.
The total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
from oil and gas production is approximately $78,100. 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 1,400 barrels or 12% during the
quarter ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the quarter ended
September 30, 1997, resulting in a decrease of approximately $14,600 in
revenues.
Gas production decreased approximately 5,600 mcf or 18% during the same
period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $13,700 in revenues.
The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
approximately $28,300. The decrease in production is primarily
attributable to the sale of 46 properties, representing a total of
approximately 1,400 mcfs for the combined months of August and
September 1998.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses decreased to $174,811 from $197,498 for the
quarters ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, a decrease of
11%. The decrease is the result of lower lease operating costs and
depletion expense, partially offset by an increase in general and
administrative expense.
1. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 13% lower, or
approximately $20,900 less during the quarter ended September 30, 1998 as
compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1997.
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
36% or approximately $3,200 during the quarter ended September 30, 1998
as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1997. The increase in
general and administrative costs are due largely to higher accounting
fees. The 10-Q's are now required to be reviewed based on new
accounting pronouncements.
3. Depletion expense decreased to $20,000 for the quarter ended September
30, 1998 from $25,000 for the same period in 1997. This represents a
decrease of 20%. Depletion is calculated using the units of revenue
method of amortization based on a percentage of current period gross
revenues to total future gross oil and gas revenues, as estimated by
the Partnership's independent petroleum consultants. Contributing
factors to the decline in depletion expense between the comparative
periods were the decrease in the price of oil and thus the decline in
gross oil and gas revenues.
B. General Comparison of the Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 1998
and 1997
The following table provides certain information regarding performance
factors for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1998 and 1997:
Nine Months
Ended Percentage
September 30, Increase
1998 1997 (Decrease)
---- ---- ---------
Average price per barrel of oil $ 11.28 18.89 (40%)
Average price per mcf of gas $ 2.11 2.42 (13%)
Oil production in barrels 32,500 35,000 (7%)
Gas production in mcf 81,300 99,800 (19%)
Gross oil and gas revenue $ 538,562 902,921 (40%)
Net oil and gas revenue $ 105,509 412,051 (74%)
Partnership distributions $ 142,500 568,500 (75%)
Limited partner distributions $ 128,250 511,650 (75%)
Per unit distribution to limited partners $ 20.53 81.92 (75%)
Number of limited partner units 6,246 6,246
Revenues
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $538,562 from $902,921
for the nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, a
decrease of 40%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997 are as follows:
1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared
to the nine months ended September 30, 1997 by 40%, or $7.61 per
barrel, resulting in a decrease of approximately $266,400 in revenues.
Oil sales represented 68% of total oil and gas sales during the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to 73% during the nine
months ended September 30, 1997.
The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership
decreased during the same period by 13%, or $.31 per mcf, resulting in
a decrease of approximately $30,900 in revenues.
The total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
from oil and gas production is approximately $297,300. 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 2,500 barrels or 7% during the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to the nine months
ended September 30, 1997, resulting in a decrease of approximately
$28,200 in revenues.
Gas production decreased approximately 18,500 mcf or 19% during the
same period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $39,000 in
revenues.
The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
approximately $67,200.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses decreased to $553,788 from $605,744 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, a decrease of 9%.
The decrease is the result of lower lease operating costs and depletion
expense, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative
expense.
1. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 12% lower, or
approximately $57,800 less during the nine months ended September 30,
1998 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997.
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
20% or approximately $6,900 during the nine months ended September 30,
1998 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The
increase in general and administrative costs are due largely to higher
accounting fees. The 10-Q's are now required to be reviewed based on
new accounting pronouncements.
3. Depletion expense decreased to $79,000 for the nine months ended
September 30, 1998 from $80,000 for the same period in 1997. This
represents a decrease of 1%. Depletion is calculated using the units
of revenue method of amortization based on a percentage of current
period gross revenues to total future gross oil and gas revenues, as
estimated by the Partnership's independent petroleum consultants.
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 operating activities were approximately $150,100 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to approximately
$440,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The primary source
of the 1998 cash flow from operating activities was profitable operations.
Cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $3,100 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to approximately $8,600 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The principle use of the 1998
cash flow from investing activities was the change in oil and gas
properties.
Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $142,400 in the
nine months ended September 30, 1998 as compared to approximately $568,500
in the nine months ended September 30, 1997. The only use in financing
activities was the distributions to partners.
Total distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 were
$142,500 of which $128,250 was distributed to the limited partners and
$14,250 to the general partners. The per unit distribution to limited
partners during the nine months ended September 30, 1998 was $20.53. Total
distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 were $568,500
of which $511,650 was distributed to the limited partners and $56,850 to
the general partners. The per unit distribution to limited partners during
the nine months ended September 30, 1997 was $81.92.
The sources for the 1998 distributions of $142,500 were oil and gas
operations of approximately $150,100 and the change in oil and gas property
of approximately $3,100, resulting in excess cash for contingencies or
subsequent distribution. The source for the 1997 distributions of $568,500
was oil and gas operations of approximately $440,000, partially offset by a
change in oil and gas property of approximately $8,600, with the balance
from available cash on hand at the beginning of the period.
Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions
of $2,878,818 have been made to the partners. As of September 30, 1998,
$2,607,944 or $417.54 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the
limited partners, representing a 84% return of the capital contributed.
As of September 30, 1998, the Partnership had approximately $68,500 in
working capital. The Managing General Partner knows of no unusual
contractual commitments and believes the revenues generated from operations
are adequate to meet the needs of the Partnership.
Information Systems for the Year 2000
The Partnership relies on the Managing General Partner for their data
processing requirements. This includes use of a program designed and
implemented by Midland Southwest Software, the Managing General Partner's
software subsidiary. Midland Southwest Software currently has a year 2000
plan in effect. They have surveyed existing programs and hardware and
estimate a compliance date of early 1999. Determination of the total cost
in connection with the year 2000 compliance issue is difficult to determine
due to the fact that they are in the process of developing their new 1998
version of marketed oil and gas software, which has, from inception,
included year 2000 compliance. Third party software programs utilized by
the Managing General Partner are either in compliance or are not affected
by the year 2000, with the exception of the payroll service, which is
currently modifying its system to accurately handle the Year 2000 issue.
The Managing General Partner has not completed its evaluation of its
vendors or suppliers systems to determine the effect, if any, the non-
compliance of such systems would have on the operations of the Managing
General Partner. Plans are under way to perform an audit in late 1998 or
early 1999 to determine the effect of non-compliance of its vendors and
suppliers on the Managing General Partner and thus formulate a contingency
plan.
A potential source of risk includes, but is not limited to, the inability
of principal purchasers and suppliers to be year 2000 compliant, which
could have a material effect on the Managing General Partner's production,
cash flow and overall financial condition, notwithstanding the Managing
General Partner's actions to prepare its own information systems. The
Managing General Partner currently does not have a contingency plan in
place to cover any unforeseen problems encountered that relate to the year
2000, but intends to produce one before the end of the fiscal year.
