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 farm-out arrangements, sales of properties, and the depletion of wells. Since wells deplete over time, production can generally be expected to decline from year to year. Well operating costs and general and administrative costs usually decrease with production declines; however, these costs may not decrease proportionately. Net income available for distribution to the partners is therefore expected to fluctuate in later years based on these factors. Based on current conditions, management anticipates participating in a farmout agreement and performing workovers during the next two years to enhance production. The Partnership may undergo an increase later in 1997 and possibly in 1998. Thereafter, the Partnership could possibly experience a normal decline of 8% to 10% per year. Results of Operations A. General Comparison of the Quarters Ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 The following table provides certain information regarding performance factors for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996: Three Months Ended Percentage March 31, Increase 1997 1996 (Decrease) ---- ---- ---------- Average price per barrel of oil $ 19.56 17.10 14% Average price per mcf of gas $ 2.71 1.48 83% Oil production in barrels 6,900 13,700 (50%) Gas production in mcf 12,700 21,100 (40%) Income from net profits interests $ 59,541 78,361 (24%) Partnership distributions $ 105,000 29,000 262% Limited partner distributions $ 94,500 26,100 262% Per unit distribution to limited partners $ 8.35 2.31 262% Number of limited partner units 11,316 11,316 Revenues The Partnership's income from net profits interests decreased to $59,541 from $78,361 for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 24%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 are as follows: 1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership increased during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996 by 14%, or $2.46 per barrel, resulting in an increase of approximately $33,700 in income from net profits interests. Oil sales represented 80% of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to 88% during the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership increased during the same period by 83%, or $1.23 per mcf, resulting in an increase of approximately $26,000 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 $59,700. 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 6,800 barrels or 50% during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996, resulting in a decrease of approximately $133,000 in income from net profits interests. Gas production decreased approximately 8,400 mcf or 40% during the same period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $22,800 in income from net profits interests. The total decrease in income from net profits interests due to the change in production is approximately $155,800. The decrease is primarily attributable to eleven months of revenue, on one lease, being held in suspense during litigation between a third party operator, the lease's pumper and the Managing General Partner. Upon conclusion of the litigation, all revenues, approximately 5,900 barrels of oil, was released during the first quarter of 1996. Also during the first quarter of 1996, approximately 7,100 mcf of gas from two leases, which represented twelve months of production, was received. Excluding the effects of the lump sum settlements of oil and gas production, oil production decreased approximately 900 barrels or 12% and gas production decreased approximately 1,300 mcf of gas or 10%. The Partnership was carried into a project on the Ballard Grayburg San Andres Unit to drill five infill producers. An evaluation, prepared by an independent certified petroleum engineer, of the proposed infill drilling to determine a fair arrangement for the Partnership to participate has resulted in a farm-out agreement with Southwest Royalties, Inc., the Managing General Partner, to pay all the Partnership's costs in the proposed drilling in return for a working interest equal to 90% of the Partnership's combined working interest in the Ballard Grayburg San Andres Unit, effective January 1, 1997. As a result, The Partnership had been receiving approximately 450 barrels of oil and will now receive approximately 40 barrels of oil from the Ballard Grayburg San Andres Unit. 3. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 41% lower, or approximately $77,900 less during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The decrease is primarily attributable to the litigation costs of approximately $56,000 incurred during the first quarter of 1996 and the farm-out agreement, which lowered the Partnership's working interest, on the Ballard Grayburg San Andres Unit. Costs and Expenses Total costs and expenses decreased to $42,762 from $66,591 for the quarters ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, a decrease of 36%. The decrease is the result of lower general and administrative expense and 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 3% or approximately $800 during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to the quarter ended March 31, 1996. 2. Depletion expense decreased to $13,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 1997 from $36,000 for the same period in 1996. This represents a decrease of 64%. 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 of depletion expense between the comparative periods were the decrease in oil and gas revenue and the increase in the price of oil used to determine the Partnership's reserves for January 1, 1997 as compared to 1996. 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, other the ones noted above, nor does it anticipate any such change. Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $109,800 in the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to approximately $12,200 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The primary source of the 1997 cash flow from operating activities was profitable operations. There were no cash flows provided by investing activities in the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to approximately $41 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996. Cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $104,800 in the quarter ended March 31, 1997 as compared to approximately $28,800 in the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The only use in financing activities was the distributions to partners. Total distributions during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 were $105,000 of which $94,500 was distributed to the limited partners and $10,500 to the general partners. The per unit distribution to limited partners during the quarter ended March 31, 1997 was $8.35. Total distributions during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 were $29,000 of which $26,100 was distributed to the limited partners and $2,900 to the general partners. The per unit distribution to limited partners during the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was $2.31. The source for the 1997 distributions of $105,000 was oil and gas operations of approximately $109,800, resulting in excess cash for contingencies or subsequent distributions. The sources for the 1996 distributions of $29,000 were oil and gas operations of approximately $12,200 and the sale of oil and gas properties of approximately $40, with the balance from available cash on hand at the beginning of the period. Since inception of the Partnership, cumulative monthly cash distributions of $2,858,122 have been made to the partners. As of March 31, 1997, $2,620,661 or $231.59 per limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited partners, representing a 46% return of the capital contributed. As of March 31, 1997, the Partnership had approximately $48,000 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.
