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 anticipates performing workovers during 1997 to enhance production. The Partnership could possibly experience the following changes; a little less than normal decline in 1997, with no decline in 1998 and thereafter, experience a low decline. Results of Operations A. General Comparison of the Quarters Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 The following table provides certain information regarding performance factors for the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996: Three Months Ended Percentage September 30, Increase 1997 1996 (Decrease) Average price per barrel of oil $ 17.23 20.72 (17%) Average price per mcf of gas $ 2.46 2.18 13% Oil production in barrels 11,400 12,400 (8%) Gas production in mcf 31,700 33,500 (5%) Gross oil and gas revenue $ 274,504 330,868 (17%) Net oil and gas revenue $ 111,093 155,565 (29%) Partnership distributions $ 189,000 180,000 5% Limited partner distributions $ 170,100 162,000 5% Per unit distribution to limited partners $ 27.23 25.94 5% Number of limited partner units 6,246 6,246 Revenues The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $274,504 from $330,868 for the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 17%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows: 1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership decreased during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1996 by 17%, or $3.49 per barrel, resulting in a decrease of approximately $43,300 in revenues. Oil sales represented 72% of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as compared to 78% during the quarter ended September 30, 1996. The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased during the same period by 13%, or $.28 per mcf, resulting in an increase of approximately $9,400 in revenues. The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately $33,900. 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 1,000 barrels or 8% during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $17,200 in revenues. Gas production decreased approximately 1,800 mcf or 5% during the same period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $4,400 in revenues. The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is approximately $21,600. Costs and Expenses Total costs and expenses decreased to $197,498 from $225,135 for the quarters ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 12%. The decrease is the result of lower lease operating costs, general and administrative expense and depletion expense. 1. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 7% lower, or approximately $11,900 less during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1996. 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 decreased 1% or approximately $100 during the quarter ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1996. 3. Depletion expense decreased to $25,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 from $39,000 for the same period in 1996. This represents a decrease of 36%. 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 increase in the price of oil used to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared to 1996 and the decline in gross oil and gas revenues. B. General Comparison of the Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 The following table provides certain information regarding performance factors for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996: Nine Months Ended Percentage September 30, Increase 1997 1996 (Decrease) Average price per barrel of oil $ 18.89 19.28 (2%) Average price per mcf of gas $ 2.42 2.28 6% Oil production in barrels 35,000 39,200 (11%) Gas production in mcf 99,800 101,500 (2%) Gross oil and gas revenue $ 902,921 987,545 (9%) Net oil and gas revenue $ 412,051 479,092 (14%) Partnership distributions $ 568,500 452,952 26% Limited partner distributions $ 511,650 413,952 24% Per unit distribution to limited partners $ 81.92 66.27 24% Number of limited partner units 6,246 6,246 Revenues The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $902,921 from $987,545 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 9%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 are as follows: 1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996 by 2%, or $.39 per barrel, resulting in a decrease of approximately $15,300 in revenues. Oil sales represented 73% of total oil and gas sales during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to 77% during the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased during the same period by 6%, or $.14 per mcf, resulting in an increase of approximately $14,200 in revenues. The net total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately $1,100. 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 4,200 barrels or 11% during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $79,300 in revenues. Gas production decreased approximately 1,700 mcf or 2% during the same period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $4,100 in revenues. The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is approximately $83,400. Costs and Expenses Total costs and expenses decreased to $605,744 from $664,745 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 9%. The decrease is the result of lower lease operating costs, general and administrative expense and depletion expense. 1. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 3% lower, or approximately $17,600 less during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996. 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 decreased 2% or approximately $600 during the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1996. 3. Depletion expense decreased to $80,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 from $116,000 for the same period in 1996. This represents a decrease of 31%. 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 increase in the price of oil used to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared to 1996 and the decline in gross oil and gas revenues. 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 $440,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to approximately $430,100 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The primary source of the 1997 cash flow from operating activities was profitable operations. Cash flows provided by or (used in) investing activities were approximately ($8,600) in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to approximately $221,700 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The principle use of the 1997 cash flow from investing activities was the change in oil and gas properties. Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $568,500 in the nine months ended September 30, 1997 as compared to approximately $453,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996. The only use in financing activities was the distributions to partners. 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. Total distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $452,952 of which $413,952 was distributed to the limited partners and $39,000 to the general partners. The per unit distribution to limited partners during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $66.27. 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. The sources for the 1996 distributions of $452,952 were oil and gas operations of approximately $430,100 and the change in oil and gas property of approximately $221,700, resulting in excess cash for contingencies or subsequent distribution. Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of $2,574,318 have been made to the partners. As of September 30, 1997, $2,333,894 or $373.66 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited partners, representing a 75% return of the capital contributed. As of September 30, 1997, the Partnership had approximately $193,000 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.
