6 PARKER & PARSLEY 88-A, L.P. (A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) Note 1. Organization and nature of operations Parker & Parsley 88-A, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized in 1988 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production in Texas and is not involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. Note 2. Basis of presentation In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements of the Partnership as of March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 50% to $455,361 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $304,068 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received and an increase in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 10,082 barrels of oil, 3,156 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 29,495 mcf of gas were sold, or 18,154 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 7,878 barrels of oil, 4,068 barrels of NGLs and 7 15,987 mcf of gas were sold, or 14,611 BOEs. Of the increase, 3,880 BOEs are attributable to two wells reaching payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements which increased the Partnership's net revenue interest in the wells. The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $1.92, or 7%, from $27.90 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $25.98 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.19, or 30%, from $13.93 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.12 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 167% from $1.73 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $4.62 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Gain on disposition of assets of $259 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2000 resulting from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $196,581 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $183,979 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $12,602, or 7%. The increase was due to increases in depletion, general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and production costs. Production costs were $151,163 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $149,276 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $1,887 increase, or 1%. The increase was primarily due to increased lease operating and production taxes attributable to the wells that reached payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements as noted above and higher production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by decreases in well maintenance and workover costs. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 50% from $9,122 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $13,661 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues attributable to commodity prices and the two wells reaching payout as noted above and an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $31,757 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $25,581 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $6,176, or 24%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in oil production of 2,204 barrels, which was principally due to the two wells reaching payout as noted above, for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $104,369 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $151,512 in oil and gas sales receipts, 8 offset by increases in production costs of $1,887, G&A expenses of $4,539 and working capital of $40,717. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $48,394 to oil and gas receipts and $103,118 resulting from an increase in production during 2001. The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by a decrease in well maintenance and workover costs. The increase in G&A was primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's principal investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2000 were related to upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $259 received during the three months ended March 31, 2000 were due to equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were $271,814, of which $2,718 was distributed to the managing general partner and $269,096 to the limited partners. For the same period ended March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $162,998, of which $1,630 was distributed to the managing general partner and $161,368 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly- owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things, consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its assets, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. --------------- (1) "Item 2.
