Item 1. Business
General
Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund X-C, L.P. (the "Partnership" or
"Registrant") was organized as a Delaware limited partnership on September
20, 1991. The offering of 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 concluded April 30, 1992. The
Partnership has no subsidiaries.
The Partnership has acquired interests in producing oil and gas properties,
and produced and marketed the crude oil and natural gas produced from such
properties. In most cases, the Partnership purchased working interests in
oil and gas properties. The Partnership purchased either all or part of
the rights and obligations under various oil and gas leases.
The principal executive offices of the Partnership are located at 407 N.
Big Spring, Suite 300, Midland, Texas, 79701. The Managing General Partner
of the Partnership, Southwest Royalties, Inc. (the "Managing General
Partner") and its staff of 82 individuals, together with certain
independent consultants used on an "as needed" basis, perform various
services on behalf of the Partnership, including the selection of oil and
gas properties and the marketing of production from such properties. H. H.
Wommack, III, Chairman, Director, President and Chief Executive Officer of
the Managing General Partner, is also a general partner. The Partnership
has no employees.
Principal Products, Marketing and Distribution
The Partnership has acquired and holds working interests in oil and gas
properties located in Alabama, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
Texas. All activities of the Partnership are confined to the continental
United States. All oil and gas produced from these properties is sold to
unrelated third parties in the oil and gas business.
The revenues generated from the Partnership's oil and gas activities are
dependent upon the current market for oil and gas. The prices received by
the Partnership for its oil and gas production depend upon numerous factors
beyond the Partnership's control, including competition, economic,
political and regulatory developments and competitive energy sources, and
make it particularly difficult to estimate future prices of oil and natural
gas.
In 2002, fighting and threats of fighting in the Middle East and a strike
in a major oil exporting country dominated the direction of crude oil
prices. While OPEC agreed to keep production constant throughout the year,
conflicts between the U.S. and Iraq, as well as between Israel and the
Palestinians threatened supplies and caused oil prices to surge in 2002.
In addition, a strike by oil workers in Venezuela, the fourth largest
supplier to the U.S., took a significant amount of crude oil off the market
toward the end of the year. As a result, OPEC agreed in January 2003 to
increase output by 1.5 million barrels per day in an effort to make up for
the lost supply and stabilize prices.
In 2002, spot prices for natural gas fell by 27.5% from the unprecedented
heights reached in 2001, averaging just under $3.00/MMBtu for the year.
Most of the lowest prices were seen early on, with the first quarter
averaging of $2.24/MMBtu. But as the year progressed, prices climbed
higher, ending with a $3.99 average in December. As for 2003, industry
analysts are divided on their gas price predictions, with estimates ranging
anywhere from $4.00 to $6.00/MMBtu. Weather forecasts, storage inventory
levels, a tighter supply and demand balance, and the unstable situation
with Iraq are all factors that will have a significant impact on the
direction prices will take. Overall however, analysts are maintaining a
bullish perspective, expecting gas prices to remain at or above $4.00/MMBtu
in 2003.
Following is a table of the ratios of revenues received from oil and gas
production for the last three years:
Oil Gas
---- ----
2002 84% 16%
2001 72% 28%
2000 89% 11%
As the table indicates, the majority of the Partnership's revenue is from
its oil production, and Partnership revenues will be highly dependent upon
the future prices and demands for oil.
Seasonality of Business
Although the demand for natural gas is highly seasonal, with higher demand
in the colder winter months and in very hot summer months, the Partnership
has been able to sell all of its natural gas, either through contracts in
place or on the spot market at the then prevailing spot market price. As a
result, the volumes sold by the Partnership have not fluctuated materially
with the change of season.
Customer Dependence
The Managing General Partner intends that no material portion of the
Partnership's business is dependent on a single purchaser, or a very few
purchasers, where the loss of one would have a material adverse impact on
the Partnership. Two purchasers accounted for 80% of the Partnership's
total oil and gas production during 2002: Teppco Crude Oil LLC for 68% and
Plains Marketing LP for 12%. Three purchasers accounted for 85% of the
Partnership's total oil and gas production during 2001: Teppco Crude Oil
LLC for 60%, George L Mcleod Inc. for 14% and Plains Marketing LP for 11%.
Two purchasers accounted for 84% of the Partnership's total oil and gas
production during 2000: Teppco Crude oil LLC for 73% and Plains Marketing
LP for 11%. All purchasers of the Partnership's oil and gas production are
unrelated third parties. In the event any of these purchasers were to
discontinue purchasing the Partnership's production, the Managing General
Partner believes that a substitute purchaser or purchasers could be located
without undue delay. No other purchaser accounted for an amount equal to
or greater than 10% of the Partnership's sales of oil and gas production.
Competition
Because the Partnership has utilized all of its funds available for the
acquisition of interests in producing oil and gas properties, it is not
subject to competition from other oil and gas property purchasers. See
Item 2, Properties.
Factors that may adversely affect the Partnership include delays in
completing arrangements for the sale of production, availability of a
market for production, rising operating costs of producing oil and gas and
complying with applicable water and air pollution control statutes,
increasing costs and difficulties of transportation, and marketing of
competitive fuels. Moreover, domestic oil and gas must compete with
imported oil and gas and with coal, atomic energy, hydroelectric power and
other forms of energy.
Regulation
Oil and Gas Production - The production and sale of oil and gas is subject
to federal and state governmental regulation in several respects, such as
existing price controls on natural gas and possible price controls on crude
oil, regulation of oil and gas production by state and local governmental
agencies, pollution and environmental controls and various other direct and
indirect regulation. Many jurisdictions have periodically imposed
limitations on oil and gas production by restricting the rate of flow for
oil and gas wells below their actual capacity to produce and by imposing
acreage limitations for the drilling of wells. The federal government has
the power to permit increases in the amount of oil imported from other
countries and to impose pollution control measures.
Various aspects of the Partnership's oil and gas activities are regulated
by administrative agencies under statutory provisions of the states where
such activities are conducted and by certain agencies of the federal
government for operations on Federal leases. Moreover, certain prices at
which, the Partnership may sell its natural gas production are controlled
by the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978, the Natural Gas Wellhead Decontrol
Act of 1989 and the regulations promulgated by the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission.
Environmental - The Partnership's oil and gas activities are subject to
extensive federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the
generation, storage, handling, emission, transportation and discharge of
materials into the environment. Governmental authorities have the power to
enforce compliance with their regulations, and violations carry substantial
penalties. This regulatory burden on the oil and gas industry increases
its cost of doing business and consequently affects its profitability. The
Managing General Partner is unable to predict what, if any, effect
compliance will have on the Partnership.
Industry Regulations and Guidelines - Certain industry regulations and
guidelines apply to the registration, qualification and operation of oil
and gas programs in the form of limited partnerships. The Partnership is
subject to these guidelines, which regulate and restrict transactions
between the Managing General Partner and the Partnership. The Partnership
complies with these guidelines and the Managing General Partner does not
anticipate that continued compliance will have a material adverse effect on
Partnership operations.
Partnership Employees
The Partnership has no employees; however the Managing General Partner has
a staff of geologists, engineers, accountants, landmen and clerical staff
who engage in Partnership activities and operations and perform additional
services for the Partnership as needed. In addition to the Managing
General Partner's staff, the Partnership engages independent consultants
such as petroleum engineers and geologists as needed. As of December 31,
2002 there were 82 individuals directly employed by the Managing General
Partner in various capacities.
Item 2. Properties
In determining whether an interest in a particular producing property was
to be acquired, the Managing General Partner considered such criteria as
estimated oil and gas reserves, estimated cash flow from the sale of
production, present and future prices of oil and gas, the extent of
undeveloped and unproved reserves, the potential for secondary, tertiary
and other enhanced recovery projects and the availability of markets.
As of December 31, 2002, the Partnership possessed an interest in oil and
gas properties located in Escambia and Lamar Counties of Alabama; Labette
and Neosho Counties of Kansas; La Fourche, Pointe Coupe and Terrebonne
Parishes of Louisiana; Chaves, Eddy, and Lea Counties of New Mexico;
Custer, Roger Mills and Washita Counties of Oklahoma; and Colorado,
Dickens, Hemphill, Live Oak, Martin, Mitchell, Scurry, Upton and Yoakum
Counties of Texas. These properties consist of various interests in 421
wells and units.
Due to the Partnership's objective of maintaining current operations
without engaging in the drilling of any developmental or exploratory wells,
or additional acquisitions of producing properties, there have not been any
significant changes in properties during 2002, 2001 and 2000.
There were no property sales during 2002, 2001 and 2000.

*Ryder Scott Company, L.P. prepared the reserve and present value data for
the Partnership's existing properties as of January 1, 2003. The reserve
estimates were made in accordance with guidelines established by the
Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 4-10(a) of Regulation S-
X. Such guidelines require oil and gas reserve reports be prepared under
existing economic and operating conditions with no provisions for price and
cost escalation except by contractual arrangements.
Oil price adjustments were made in the individual evaluations to reflect
oil quality, gathering and transportation costs. The results of the reserve
report as of January 1, 2003 are an average price of $27.85 per barrel.
Gas price adjustments were made in the individual evaluations to reflect
BTU content, gathering and transportation costs and gas processing and
shrinkage. The results of the reserve report as of January 1, 2003 are an
average price of $3.58 per Mcf.
As also discussed in Part II, Item 7, Management's Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, oil and gas prices were
subject to frequent changes in 2002.
The evaluation of oil and gas properties is not an exact science and
inevitably involves a significant degree of uncertainty, particularly with
respect to the quantity of oil or gas that any given property is capable of
producing. Estimates of oil and gas reserves are based on available
geological and engineering data, the extent and quality of which may vary
in each case and, in certain instances, may prove to be inaccurate.
Consequently, properties may be depleted more rapidly than the geological
and engineering data have indicated.
Unanticipated depletion, if it occurs, will result in lower reserves than
previously estimated; thus an ultimately lower return for the Partnership.
Basic changes in past reserve estimates occur annually. As new data is
gathered during the subsequent year, the engineer must revise his earlier
estimates. A year of new information, which is pertinent to the estimation
of future recoverable volumes, is available during the subsequent year
evaluation. In applying industry standards and procedures, the new data
may cause the previous estimates to be revised. This revision may increase
or decrease the earlier estimated volumes. Pertinent information gathered
during the year may include actual production and decline rates, production
from offset wells drilled to the same geologic formation, increased or
decreased water production, workovers, and changes in lifting costs, among
others. Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from the
quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered.
Partnership has reserves, which are classified as proved developed
producing. All of the proved reserves are included in the engineering
reports, which evaluate the Partnership's present reserves.
Because the Partnership does not engage in drilling activities, the
development of proved undeveloped reserves is conducted pursuant to farmout
arrangements with the Managing General Partner or unrelated third parties.
Generally, the Partnership retains a carried interest such as an overriding
royalty interest under the terms of a farmout, or receives cash.
The Partnership or the owners of properties in which the Partnership owns
an interest can engage in workover projects or supplementary recovery
projects, for example, to extract behind the pipe reserves, which qualify
as proved developed non-producing reserves. See Part II, Item 7,
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
There are no material pending legal proceedings to which the Partnership is
a party.
Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
No matter was submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of 2002 through the solicitation of proxies or otherwise.
Part II
Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters
Market Information
Limited partnership interests, or units, in the Partnership were initially
offered and sold for a price of $500. Limited partner units are not traded
on any exchange and there is no public or organized trading market for
them. The Managing General Partner has become aware of certain limited and
sporadic transfers of units between limited partners and third parties, but
has no verifiable information regarding the prices at which such units have
been transferred. Further, a transferee may not become a substitute
limited partner without the consent of the Managing General Partner.
The Managing General Partner has the right, but not the obligation, to
purchase limited partnership units should an investor desire to sell. The
value of the unit is determined by adding the sum of (1) current assets
less liabilities and (2) the present value of the future net revenues
attributable to proved reserves and by discounting the future net revenues
at a rate not in excess of the prime rate charged by NationsBank, N.A. of
Midland, Texas plus one percent (1%), which value shall be further reduced
by a risk factor discount of no more than one-third (1/3) to be determined
by the Managing General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. As of
December 31, 2002, the Managing General Partner purchased no limited
partner units. Southwest, as Managing General Partner, evaluated several
liquidity alternatives for the partnerships in 2001 and 2002. During 2002,
Southwest specifically pursued the possible roll-up and merger of twenty-
one (21) partnerships with the general partner. Because of the
complexities and conflicts of interest in such a transaction, the Managing
General Partner did not make a formal repurchase offer in 2002 but has
responded to limited partners desiring to sell their units in the
partnerships on an "as requested" basis. Southwest anticipates that it
will maintain this policy in 2003 because the aforementioned transaction is
ongoing. In 2001, 50 limited partner units were tendered to and purchased
by the Managing General Partner at an average base price of $148.04 per
unit. In 2000, 8 limited partner units were tendered to and purchased by
the Managing General Partner at an average base price of $68.25 per unit.
Number of Limited Partner Interest Holders
As of December 31, 2002, there were 291 holders of limited partner units in
the Partnership.
Distributions
Pursuant to Article III, Section 3.05 of the Partnership's Certificate and
Agreement of Limited Partnership, "Net Cash Flow" is distributed to the
partners on a quarterly basis. "Net Cash Flow" is defined as "the cash
generated by the Partnership's investments in producing oil and gas
properties, less (i) General and Administrative Costs, (ii) Operating
Costs, and (iii) any reserves necessary to meet current and anticipated
needs of the Partnership, as determined in the sole discretion of the
Managing General Partner."
During 2002, distributions were made totaling $18,405, with $16,565
distributed to the limited partners and $1,840 to the general partners.
For the year ended December 31, 2002, distributions of $2.65 per limited
partner unit were made, based upon 6,246 limited partner units outstanding.
During 2001, distributions were made totaling $361,479, with $325,331
distributed to the limited partners and $36,148 to the general partners.
For the year ended December 31, 2001, distributions of $52.09 per limited
partner unit were made, based upon 6,246 limited partner units outstanding.
During 2000, quarterly distributions were made totaling $277,300, with
$249,570 distributed to the limited partners and $27,730 to the general
partners. For the year ended December 31, 2000, distributions of $39.96
per limited partner unit were made, based upon 6,246 limited partner units
outstanding.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
General
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 any net proceeds from operations to the
general and limited partners. Net revenues from producing oil and gas
properties are not reinvested in other revenue producing assets except to
the extent that producing facilities and wells are 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 farmout arrangements and on 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 limited
partners is therefore expected to fluctuate in later years based on these
factors.
Based on current conditions, management anticipates performing no workovers
during 2003 or 2004 to enhance production. The partnership will most
likely experience the historical production decline, which have
approximated 10% per year.
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 prepared by outside consultants.
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.
Prior to October 1, 2002, the Partnership calculated depletion of oil and
gas properties under the units of revenue method. The Partnership changed
methods of estimating depletion effective October 1, 2002 to the units of
production method. The units of production method is more predominantly
used throughout the oil and gas industry and will allow the Partnership to
more closely align itself with its peers. This change in estimate had no
impact on depletion expense for the fourth quarter.

Revenues
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $695,579 from $871,673
for the years ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, a decrease of
20%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the years ended
December 31, 2002 and 2001 are as follows:
1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
increased during the year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the
year ended December 31, 2001 by 2%, or $.46 per barrel, resulting in an
increase of approximately $12,100 in revenues. Oil sales represented
84% of total oil and gas sales during the year ended December 31, 2002
as compared to 72% during the year ended December 31, 2001.
The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership
decreased during the same period by 39%, or $1.74 per mcf, resulting in
a decrease of approximately $68,700 in revenues.
The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
from oil and gas production is approximately $56,600. 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 2,300 barrels or 8% during the
year ended December 31, 2002 as compared to the year ended December 31,
2001, resulting in a decrease of approximately $50,100 in revenues.
Gas production decreased approximately 15,500 mcf or 28% during the
same period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $69,400 in
revenues.
The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
approximately $119,500. The decrease in gas production is due
primarily to a well having mechanical problems during the middle of
2002 and another well that was salted up during the first quarter of
2002, which has been pulled and treated, and is currently producing at
the old rate. The decrease in gas production was partially offset by
another well coming back online in January of 2002.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses decreased to $662,661 from $749,425 for the years
ended December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively, a decrease of 12%. The
decrease is the result of lower depletion expense, partially offset by an
increase in lease operating expense and general and administrative expense.
1. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 1% higher, or
approximately $8,600 more during the year ended December 31, 2002 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2001.
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 2%
or approximately $700 during the year ended December 31, 2002 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2001.
3. Depletion expense decreased to $36,000 for the year ended December 31,
2002 from $132,000 for the same period in 2001. This represents a
decrease of 73%. Prior to October 1, 2002, the Partnership calculated
depletion of oil and gas properties under the units of revenue method.
The Partnership changed methods of estimating depletion effective
October 1, 2002 to the units of production method. The units of
production method is more predominantly used throughout the oil and gas
industry and will allow the Partnership to more closely align itself
with its peers. This change in estimate had no impact on depletion
expense for the fourth quarter.
The major factor in the decrease in depletion expense between the
comparative periods was the increase in the price of oil and gas used
to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 2003 as compared
to 2002, and the decrease in oil and gas revenues received by the
Partnership during 2002 as compared to 2001.

Revenues
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $871,673 from $929,367
for the years ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, a decrease of
6%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the years ended
December 31, 2001 and 2000 are as follows:
1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
decreased during the year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to the
year ended December 31, 2000 by 21%, or $5.76 per barrel, resulting in
a decrease of approximately $165,300 in revenues. Oil sales represented
72% of total oil and gas sales during the year ended December 31, 2001
as compared to 89% during the year ended December 31, 2000.
The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership
increased during the same period by 21%, or $.77 per mcf, resulting in
an increase of approximately $42,400 in revenues.
The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
from oil and gas production is approximately $207,700. 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 1,300 barrels or 4% during the
year ended December 31, 2001 as compared to the year ended December 31,
2000, resulting in a decrease of approximately $35,800 in revenues.
Gas production increased approximately 27,300 mcf or 99% during the
same period, resulting in an increase of approximately $101,300 in
revenues.
The net total increase in revenues due to the change in production is
approximately $65,500. The Partnership's dramatic increase in gas
production was primarily in connection with one well. The partnership
was informed that a workover which was performed during the last
quarter of 1999 on a non-operated well was not only unsuccessful but
caused the well to shut down. This well was not believed to be
recoverable, thus the loss to the Partnership was considered to be
permanent. This well represented approximately 2,890 mcf a month.
Total decline for the partnership during the year ended December 31,
2000 in connection with this non-operated well was approximately 36,700
mcf. During 2001, this well was successfully brought back on line and
producing at approximately 2,100 mcf a month.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses increased to $749,425 from $650,044 for the years
ended December 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, an increase of 15%. The
increase is the result of higher lease operating costs, depletion expense
and general and administrative expense.
1. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 1% higher, or
approximately $4,500 more during the year ended December 31, 2001 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2000.
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 2%
or approximately $900 during the year ended December 31, 2001 as
compared to the year ended December 31, 2000.
3. Depletion expense increased to $132,000 for the year ended December 31,
2001 from $38,000 for the same period in 2000. This represents an
increase of 247%. 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.
The major factor in the increase in depletion expense between the
comparative periods was the decrease in the price of oil and gas used
to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 2002 as compared
to 2001, and the decrease in oil and gas revenues received by the
Partnership during 2001 as compared to 2000. Revisions of previous
estimates can be attributed to the changes in production performance,
oil and gas price and production costs. The impact of the revision
would have increased depletion expense approximately $40,000 as of
December 31, 2000.
C. Revenue and Distribution Comparison
Partnership income for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 was
$33,065, $125,209 and $282,522, respectively. Excluding the effects of
depreciation, depletion and amortization, net income would have been
$69,065 in 2002, $257,209 in 2001 and $320,522 in 2000. Correspondingly,
Partnership distributions for the years ended December 31, 2002, 2001 and
2000 were $18,405, $361,479 and $277,300, respectively. These differences
are indicative of the changes in oil and gas prices, production and
property sales.
The source for the 2002 distributions of $18,405 was oil and gas operations
of approximately $25,200 and the change in oil and gas properties of
approximately $(21,600), with the balance from available cash on hand at
the beginning of the period. The source for the 2001 distributions of
$361,479 was oil and gas operations of approximately $331,200 and the
change in oil and gas properties of approximately $(7,200), with the
balance from available cash on hand at the beginning of the period. The
source for the 2000 distributions of $277,300 was oil and gas operations of
approximately $331,100 and the change in oil and gas properties of
approximately $(14,900), resulting in excess cash for contingencies or
subsequent distributions.
Total distributions during the year ended December 31, 2002 were $18,405 of
which $16,565 was distributed to the limited partners and $1,840 to the
general partners. The per unit distribution to limited partners during the
same period was $2.65. Total distributions during the year ended December
31, 2001 were $361,479 of which $325,331 was distributed to the limited
partners and $36,148 to the general partners. The per unit distribution to
limited partners during the same period was $52.09. Total distributions
during the year ended December 31, 2000 were $277,300 of which $249,570 was
distributed to the limited partners and $27,730 to the general partners.
The per unit distribution to limited partners during the same period was
$39.96.
Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions
of $3,694,206 have been made to the partners. As of December 31, 2002,
$3,343,614 or $535.32 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the
limited partners, representing a 100% return of capital and a 7% return on
capital contributed.
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 $25,200 in
2002 compared to $331,200 in 2001 and approximately $331,100 in 2000. The
primary source of the 2002 cash flow from operating activities was
profitable operations.
Cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $21,600 in 2002
compared to $7,200 in 2001 and approximately $14,900 in 2000. The primary
use of investing activities was the additions to oil and gas properties.
Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $18,400 in 2002
compared to $361,300 in 2001 and approximately $277,300 in 2000. The only
2002 use in financing activities was the distributions to partners.
As of December 31, 2002, the Partnership has approximately $102,100 in
working capital. Although the partnership held many long-lived properties
at inception, because of the restrictions on property development imposed
by the partnership agreement, the Managing General Partner anticipates that
at some point in the near future, the partnership will need to be
liquidated. Maintenance of properties and administrative expenses are
increasing relative to production. As the properties continue to deplete,
maintenance of properties and administrative costs as a percentage of
production will continue to increase.
As the partnerships properties have matured, the net cash flows from
operations for the partnership have generally declined, except in periods
of substantially increased commodity pricing. Since the partnership cannot
develop their non-producing properties, the producing reserves continue to
deplete causing cash flow to steadily decline.
On October 17, 2002, Southwest Royalties, Inc. the Managing General Partner
filed an S-4 "Registration of Securities, Business Combinations" with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. The S-4 relates to a proposed plan of
merger of twenty-one limited partnerships.
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 must renegotiate the terms of its
various obligations or seek new lenders or equity investors in order to
meet its financial obligations, specifically those maturing in 2004. The
Managing General Partner may be required to dispose of certain assets in
order to meet its obligations.
There can be no assurance that the Managing General Partner's debt
restructuring efforts will be successful or that the debt holders will
agree to a course of action consistent with the Managing General Partner's
requirements in restructurings the obligations. Furthermore, there can be
no assurance that the sales of assets can be successfully accomplished on
terms acceptable to the Managing General Partner.
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. The Managing General Partner is currently assessing the impact
on the partnerships financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization
Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund X-C, L.P. was organized under the laws
of the state of Delaware on September 20, 1991, 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 several 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:
Limited General
Partners Partners
-------- --------
Interest income on capital 100% -
contributions
Oil and gas sales 90% 10%
All other revenues 90% 10%
Organization and offering 100% -

Syndication costs 100% -
Amortization of organization 100% -
costs
Property acquisition costs 100% -
Gain/loss on property 90% 10%
disposition
Operating and administrative 90% 10%
costs (2)
Depreciation, depletion and
amortization
of oil and gas properties 100% -
All other costs 90% 10%
(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
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.
Prior to October 1, 2002, the Partnership calculated depletion of oil
and gas properties under the units of revenue method. The Partnership
changed methods of estimating depletion effective October 1, 2002 to
the units of production method. The units of production method is
more predominantly used throughout the oil and gas industry and will
allow the Partnership to more closely align itself with its peers.
This change in estimate had no impact on depletion expense for the
fourth quarter.

(a Delaware limited partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Oil and Gas Properties - continued
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. In applying the units of revenue method
for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and for the nine months
ended September 30, 2002, we have not excluded royalty and net profit
interest payments from gross revenues as all of our royalty and net
profit interests have been purchased and capitalized to the depletion
basis of our proved oil and gas properties. As of December 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000 the net capitalized costs did not exceed the estimated
present value of the oil and gas reserves.
Estimates and Uncertainties
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
and expenses during the reporting period. The Partnerships depletion
calculation and full-cost ceiling test for oil and gas properties uses
oil and gas reserves estimates, which are inherently imprecise. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
Syndication Costs
Syndication costs are accounted for as a reduction of partnership
equity.
Environmental Costs
The Partnership is subject to extensive federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly
changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and
may require the Partnership to remove or mitigate the environmental
effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances
at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed or
capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Costs, which
improve a property as compared with the condition of the property when
originally constructed or acquired and costs, which prevent future
environmental contamination are capitalized. Expenditures that relate
to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no
future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures
of a non-capital nature are recorded when environmental assessment
and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably
estimated.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize oil and gas sales when delivery to the purchaser has
occurred and title has transferred. This occurs when production has
been delivered to a pipeline or transport vehicle.
Gas Balancing
The Partnership utilizes the sales method of accounting for gas-
balancing arrangements. Under this method the Partnership recognizes
sales revenue on all gas sold. As of December 31, 2002, 2001 and
2000, there were no significant amounts of imbalance in terms of units
or value.
Income Taxes
No provision for income taxes is reflected in these financial
statements, since the tax effects of the Partnership's income or loss
are passed through to the individual partners.
In accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," the
Partnership's tax basis in its net oil and gas properties at December
31, 2002 and 2001 is $91,632 and $109,421 respectively, more than that
shown on the accompanying Balance Sheets in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles.

Notes to Financial Statements
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - continued
Cash and Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Partnership considers
all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three
months or less to be cash equivalents. The Partnership maintains its
cash at one financial institution.
Number of Limited Partner Units
As of December 31, 2002, 2001 and 2000 there were 6,246 limited
partner units outstanding held by 291 partners.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
The Partnership is subject to credit risk through trade receivables.
Although a substantial portion of its debtors' ability to pay is
dependent upon the oil and gas industry, credit risk is minimized due
to a large customer base. All partnership revenues are received by
the Managing General Partner and subsequently remitted to the
partnership and all expenses are paid by the Managing General Partner
and subsequently reimbursed by the partnership.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amount of cash and accounts receivable approximates fair
value due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Net Income (loss) per limited partnership unit
The net income (loss) per limited partnership unit is calculated by
using the number of outstanding limited partnership units.
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. The Managing General Partner is currently
assessing the impact on the partnerships financial statements.

3. 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 must
renegotiate the terms of its various obligations or seek new lenders
or equity investors in order to meet its financial obligations,
specifically those maturing in 2004. The Managing General Partner
would also consider disposing of certain assets in order to meet its
obligations.
There can be no assurance that the Managing General Partner's debt
restructuring efforts will be successful or that the debt holders will
agree to a course of action consistent with the Managing General
Partner's requirements in restructurings the obligations.
Furthermore, there can be no assurance that the sales of assets can be
successfully accomplished on terms acceptable to the Managing General
Partner.
4. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Managing General Partner has the right, but not the obligation, to
purchase limited partnership units should an investor desire to sell.
The value of the unit is determined by adding the sum of (1) current
assets less liabilities and (2) the present value of the future net
revenues attributable to proved reserves and by discounting the future
net revenues at a rate not in excess of the prime rate charged by
NationsBank, N.A. of Midland, Texas plus one percent (1%), which value
shall be further reduced by a risk factor discount of no more than one-
third (1/3) to be determined by the Managing General Partner in its
sole and absolute discretion.
Southwest, as Managing General Partner, evaluated several liquidity
alternatives for the partnerships in 2001 and 2002. During 2002,
Southwest specifically pursued the possible roll-up and merger of
twenty-one (21) partnerships with the general partner. Because of the
complexities and conflicts of interest in such a transaction, the
Managing General Partner did not make a formal repurchase offer in
2002 but has responded to limited partners desiring to sell their
units in the partnerships on an "as requested" basis. Southwest
anticipates that it will maintain this policy in 2003 because the
aforementioned transaction is ongoing.
The Partnership is subject to various federal, state and local
environmental laws and regulations, which establish standards and
requirements for protection of the environment. The Partnership
cannot predict the future impact of such standards and requirements,
which are subject to change and can have retroactive effectiveness.
The Partnership continues to monitor the status of these laws and
regulations.

4. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities - continued
As of December 31, 2002, the Partnership has not been fined, cited or
notified of any environmental violations and management is not aware
of any unasserted violations, which would have a material adverse
effect upon capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position
in the oil and gas industry. However, the Managing General Partner
does recognize by the very nature of its business, material costs
could be incurred in the near term to bring the Partnership into total
compliance. The amount of such future expenditures is not reliably
determinable due to several factors, including the unknown magnitude
of possible contaminations, the unknown timing and extent of the
corrective actions which may be required, the determination of the
Partnership's liability in proportion to other responsible parties and
the extent to which such expenditures are recoverable from insurance
or indemnifications from prior owners of Partnership's properties.
5. Related Party Transactions
A significant portion of the oil and gas properties in which the
Partnership has an interest are operated by and purchased from the
Managing General Partner. As provided for in the operating agreement
for each respective oil and gas property in which the Partnership has
an interest, the operator is paid an amount for administrative
overhead attributable to operating such properties, with such amounts
to Southwest Royalties, Inc. as operator approximating $160,900,
$180,000 and $172,200, respectively, for the years ended December 31,
2002, 2001 and 2000. The amounts for administrative overhead
attributable to operating the partnership properties have been
deducted from gross oil and gas revenues in the determination of net
profit interest. In addition, the Managing General Partner and
certain officers and employees may have an interest in some of the
properties that the Partnership also participates.
Certain subsidiaries or affiliates of the Managing General Partner
perform various oilfield services for properties in which the
Partnership owns an interest. Such services aggregated approximately
$10,900, $16,200 and $15,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002,
2001 and 2000. The amounts for oilfield services performed for the
partnership by affiliates of the Managing General Partner have been
deducted from gross oil and gas revenues in the determination of net
profit interest.
Southwest Royalties, Inc., the Managing General Partner, was paid
$36,000 during 2002, 2001 and 2000, as an administrative fee, for
indirect general and administrative overhead expenses. The
administrative fees are included in general and administrative expense
on the statement of operations.
Receivables from Southwest Royalties, Inc., the Managing General
Partner, of approximately $82,000 and $38,100 are from oil and gas
production, net of lease operating costs and production taxes, as of
December 31, 2002 and 2001, respectively.

6. Major Customers
The Managing General Partner intends that no material portion of the
Partnership's business is dependent on a single purchaser, or a very
few purchasers, where the loss of one would have a material adverse
impact on the Partnership. Two purchasers accounted for 80% of the
Partnership's total oil and gas production during 2002: Teppco Crude
Oil LLC for 68% and Plains Marketing LP for 12%. Three purchasers
accounted for 85% of the Partnership's total oil and gas production
during 2001: Teppco Crude Oil LLC for 60%, George L McLeod LP for 14%
and Plains Marketing LP for 11%. Two purchasers accounted for 84% of
the Partnership's total oil and gas production during 2000: Teppco
Crude oil LLC for 73% and Plains Marketing LP for 11%. All purchasers
of the Partnership's oil and gas production are unrelated third
parties. In the event any of these purchasers were to discontinue
purchasing the Partnership's production, the Managing General Partner
believes that a substitute purchaser or purchasers could be located
without undue delay. No other purchaser accounted for an amount equal
to or greater than 10% of the Partnership's sales of oil and gas
production.

Notes to Financial Statements
7. Estimated Oil and Gas Reserves (unaudited) - continued
*Ryder Scott Company, L.P. prepared the reserve and present value data
for the Partnership's existing properties as of January 1, 2003. The
reserve estimates were made in accordance with guidelines established
by the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 4-10(a) of
Regulation S-X. Such guidelines require oil and gas reserve reports
be prepared under existing economic and operating conditions with no
provisions for price and cost escalation except by contractual
arrangements.
Oil price adjustments were made in the individual evaluations to
reflect oil quality, gathering and transportation costs. The results
of the reserve report as of January 1, 2003 are an average price of
$27.85 per barrel.
Gas price adjustments were made in the individual evaluations to
reflect BTU content, gathering and transportation costs and gas
processing and shrinkage. The results of the reserve report as of
January 1, 2003 are an average price of $3.58 per Mcf.
The evaluation of oil and gas properties is not an exact science and
inevitably involves a significant degree of uncertainty, particularly
with respect to the quantity of oil or gas that any given property is
capable of producing. Estimates of oil and gas reserves are based on
available geological and engineering data, the extent and quality of
which may vary in each case and, in certain instances, may prove to be
inaccurate. Consequently, properties may be depleted more rapidly
than the geological and engineering data have indicated.
Unanticipated depletion, if it occurs, will result in lower reserves
than previously estimated; thus an ultimately lower return for the
Partnership. Basic changes in past reserve estimates occur annually.
As new data is gathered during the subsequent year, the engineer must
revise his earlier estimates. A year of new information, which is
pertinent to the estimation of future recoverable volumes, is
available during the subsequent year evaluation. In applying industry
standards and procedures, the new data may cause the previous
estimates to be revised. This revision may increase or decrease the
earlier estimated volumes. Pertinent information gathered during the
year may include actual production and decline rates, production from
offset wells drilled to the same geologic formation, increased or
decreased water production, workovers, and changes in lifting costs,
among others. Accordingly, reserve estimates are often different from
the quantities of oil and gas that are ultimately recovered.
Partnership has reserves, which are classified as proved developed
producing. All of the proved reserves are included in the engineering
reports, which evaluate the Partnership's present reserves.
Because the Partnership does not engage in drilling activities, the
development of proved undeveloped reserves is conducted pursuant to
farmout arrangements with the Managing General Partner or unrelated
third parties. Generally, the Partnership retains a carried interest
such as an overriding royalty interest under the terms of a farmout,
or receives cash.

In certain instances, the Managing General Partner will engage professional
petroleum consultants and other independent contractors, including
engineers and geologists in connection with property acquisitions,
geological and geophysical analysis, and reservoir engineering. The
Managing General Partner believes that, in addition to its own "in-house"
staff, the utilization of such consultants and independent contractors in
specific instances and on an "as-needed" basis allows for greater
flexibility and greater opportunity to perform its oil and gas activities
more economically and effectively.
Item 11. Executive Compensation
The Partnership does not have any directors or executive officers. The
executive officers of the Managing General Partner do not receive any cash
compensation, bonuses, deferred compensation or compensation pursuant to

received $36,000 during 2002, 2001 and 2000 as an annual administrative
fee.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management
There are no limited partners who own of record, or are known by the
Managing General Partner to beneficially own, more than five percent of the
Partnership's limited partnership interests.
The Managing General Partner owns a nine percent interest in the
Partnership as a general partner. Through repurchases of limited partner
units, the Managing General Partner also owns 212.0 limited partner units a
3.1% limited partner interest. The Managing General Partner total
percentage interest ownership in the Partnership is 12.1%.
No officer or director of the Managing General Partner owns Units in the
Partnership. H. H. Wommack, III, as the individual general partner of the
Partnership, owns a one percent interest in the Partnership as a general
partner. The officers and directors of the Managing General Partner are
considered beneficial owners of the limited partner units acquired by the
Managing General Partner by virtue of their status as such. Beneficial
ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and includes voting or investment power with respect to
the limited partner units. To our knowledge, except under applicable
community property laws or as otherwise indicated, the persons named in the
table have sole voting and sole investment control with regard to all
limited partner units beneficially owned. We are presenting ownership
information as of March 1, 2003. A list of beneficial owners of limited
partner units, acquired by the Managing General Partner, is as follows:

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
In 2002, the Managing General Partner received $36,000 as an administrative
fee. This amount is part of the general and administrative expenses
incurred by the Partnership.
In some instances the Managing General Partner and certain officers and
employees may be working interest owners in an oil and gas property in
which the Partnership also has a working interest. Certain properties in
which the Partnership has an interest are operated by the Managing General
Partner, who was paid approximately $160,900 for administrative overhead
attributable to operating such properties during 2002.
Certain subsidiaries or affiliates of the Managing General Partner perform
various oilfield services for properties in which the Partnership owns an
interest. Such services aggregated approximately $10,900 for the year
ended December 31, 2002.
In the opinion of management, the terms of the above transactions are
similar to ones with unaffiliated third parties.
