Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations General Southwest Royalties Institutional Income Fund X-A, L.P. was organized as a Delaware limited partnership on January 29, 1990. The offering of such limited partnership interests began May 11, 1990 as part of a shelf offering registered under the name Southwest Royalties Institutional 1990-91 Income Program. Minimum capital requirements for the Partnership were met on July 30, 1990, with the offering of limited partnership interests concluding on November 30, 1990, with total limited partner contributions of $5,658,000. The Partnership was formed to acquire royalty and net profits 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. Results of Operations A. General Comparison of the Quarters Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 The following table provides certain information regarding performance factors for the quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995: Three Months Ended Percentage September 30, Increase 1996 1995 (Decrease) ---- ---- ---------- Average price per barrel of oil $ 20.97 15.37 36% Average price per mcf of gas $ 2.09 1.78 17% Oil production in barrels 8,500 8,000 6% Gas production in mcf 12,000 13,000 (8%) Income from net profits interests $ 76,023 6,994 987% Partnership distributions $ 63,000 19,000 232% Limited partner distributions $ 56,700 17,600 222% Per unit distribution to limited partners $ 5.01 1.56 222% Number of limited partner units 11,316 11,316 Revenues The Partnership's income from net profits interests increased to $76,023 from $6,994 for the quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of 987%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are as follows: 1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership increased during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995 by 36%, or $5.60 per barrel, resulting in an increase of approximately $44,800 in income from net profits interests. Oil sales represented 88% of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to 84% during the quarter ended September 30, 1995. The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased during the same period by 17%, or $.31 per mcf, resulting in an increase of approximately $4,000 in income from net profits interests. The total increase in income from net profits interests due to the change in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately $48,800. 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 increased approximately 500 barrels or 6% during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995, resulting in an increase of approximately $10,500 in income from net profits interests. Gas production decreased approximately 1,000 mcf or 8% during the same period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $2,100 in income from net profits interests. The net total increase in income from net profits interests due to the change in production is approximately $8,400. 3. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 9% lower, or approximately $12,100 less during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995. Costs and Expenses Total costs and expenses increased to $49,832 from $47,085 for the quarters ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of 6%. The increase is the result of higher depletion expense, offset by a decrease in general and administrative expense. 1. General and administrative costs consists of independent accounting and engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General Partner personnel costs. General and administrative costs decreased 1% or approximately $300 during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 1995. 2. Depletion expense increased to $27,000 for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 from $24,000 for the same period in 1995. This represents an increase of 13%. Depletion is calculated using the gross 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. Consequently, depletion will generally fluctuate in direct relation to oil and gas revenues. As noted above, oil and gas revenues increased due to an increase in price and production for the quarter ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period for 1995. Depletion reflected a comparable increase. B. General Comparison of the Nine Month Periods Ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 The following table provides certain information regarding performance factors for the nine month periods ended September 30, 1996 and 1995: Nine Months Ended Percentage September 30, Increase 1996 1995 (Decrease) ---- ---- ---------- Average price per barrel of oil $ 19.02 16.43 16% Average price per mcf of gas $ 2.33 1.79 30% Oil production in barrels 31,700 29,200 9% Gas production in mcf 38,200 39,500 (3%) Income from net profits interests $ 262,487 135,182 94% Partnership distributions $ 153,000 98,000 56% Limited partner distributions $ 137,700 88,700 55% Per unit distribution to limited partners $ 12.17 7.84 55% Number of limited partner units 11,316 11,316 Revenues The Partnership's income from net profits interests increased to $262,487 from $135,182 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of 94%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995 are as follows: 1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership increased during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995 by 16%, or $2.59 per barrel, resulting in an increase of approximately $75,600 in income from net profits interests. Oil sales represented 87% of total oil and gas sales during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995. The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased during the same period by 30%, or $.54 per mcf, resulting in an increase of approximately $21,300 in income from net profits interests. The total increase in income from net profits interests due to the change in prices received from oil and gas production is approximately $96,900. 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 increased approximately 2,500 barrels or 9% during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995, resulting in an increase of approximately $47,600 in income from net profits interests. Gas production decreased approximately 1,300 mcf or 3% during the same period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $3,000 in income from net profits interests. The net total increase in income from net profits interests due to the change in production is approximately $44,600. 3. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 3% higher, or approximately $13,100 more during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995. Costs and Expenses Total costs and expenses decreased to $170,254 from $171,544 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of 1%. The decrease is the result of lower general and administrative expense and amortization expense, offset by an increase in depletion expense. 1. General and administrative costs consists of independent accounting and engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General Partner personnel costs. General and administrative costs decreased 2% or approximately $1,600 during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 1995. 2. Depletion expense increased to $94,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 from $90,000 for the same period in 1995. This represents an increase of 4%. Depletion is calculated using the gross 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. Consequently, depletion will generally fluctuate in direct relation to oil and gas revenues. As noted above, oil and gas revenues increased due to an increase in price and production for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to the same period for 1995. Depletion reflected a comparable increase. 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 $126,600 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $94,400 in the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The primary source of the 1996 cash flow from operating activities was profitable operations. Cash flows provided by investing activities were approximately $800 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to none in the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The principle source of the 1996 cash flow from investing activities was the sale of oil and gas properties. Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $152,900 in the nine months ended September 30, 1996 as compared to approximately $97,900 in the nine months ended September 30, 1995. The only use in financing activities was the distributions to partners. Total distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 were $153,000 of which $137,700 was distributed to the limited partners and $15,300 to the general partners. The per unit distribution to limited partners during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $12.17. Total distributions during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 were $98,000 of which $88,700 was distributed to the limited partners and $9,300 to the general partners. The per unit distribution to limited partners during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 was $7.84. The sources for the 1996 distributions of $153,000 were oil and gas operations of approximately $126,600 and the sale of oil and gas properties of approximately $800, with the balance from available cash on hand at the beginning of the period. The source for the 1995 distributions of $98,000 was oil and gas operations of approximately $94,400, with the balance from available cash on hand at the beginning of the period. Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of $2,680,122 have been made to the partners. As of September 30, 1996, $2,460,461 or $217.43 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited partners, representing a 43% return of the capital contributed. As of September 30, 1996, the Partnership had approximately $100,100 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.
