6 PARKER & PARSLEY PRODUCING PROPERTIES 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 Producing Properties 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 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 31% to $195,445 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $149,416 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, 4,417 barrels of oil, 1,856 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 8,730 mcf of gas were sold, or 7,728 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 3,708 barrels of oil, 2,352 barrels of NGLs and 9,789 mcf of gas were sold, or 7,692 BOEs. 7 The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.58, or 2%, from $27.98 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $27.40 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.04, or 23%, from $13.03 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $16.07 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 234% from $1.53 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.11 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 $9,859 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2000 resulted from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $91,252 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $91,741 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $489. This decrease was primarily due to a decline production costs, offset by increases in depletion and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $65,335 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $74,634 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $9,299 decrease, or 12%. This decrease was primarily due to less well maintenance costs, offset by higher production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 31% from $4,482 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5,863 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $20,054 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $12,625 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $7,429, or 59%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in oil production of 709 barrels and to a downward revision to proved reserves on one well for the period 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 $40,233 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $45,652 in oil and gas sales receipts and a decline in production costs of $9,299, offset by increases in G&A expenses of $1,381 and working capital of $13,337. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $39,603 to oil and gas receipts and $6,049 resulting from an increase in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The decrease in production costs was primarily due to less well maintenance costs, offset by an increase in production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and. The increase in G&A was primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. 8 Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities Proceeds from asset dispositions of $9,859 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2000 resulted from 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 $154,242, of which $1,542 was distributed to the managing general partner and $152,700 to the limited partners. For the same period ended March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $124,431, of which $1,244 was distributed to the managing general partner and $123,187 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.
