Notes To Financial Statements

1. Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies

 

The Partnership was organized as a limited partnership on July 20, 1981 for the purpose of engaging in oil and gas exploration and production. Texland Properties-1981, a general partnership, and Texland Petroleum, L.P. are the General Partners. The Managing General Partner is Texland Petroleum, L.P. The Partnership’s accounting policies are summarized below:

 

Basis Of Accounting

 

The Partnership follows generally accepted accounting principles applicable to established enterprises in the extractive industries under a method which is generally known as the successful method of accounting.

 

Property And Equipment

 

Costs incurred for the acquisition of producing and nonproducing leaseholds are capitalized. Costs of intangible development and lease and well equipment incurred to drill and equip successful exploratory and development wells are capitalized. Costs to drill and equip unsuccessful exploratory wells are charged to operations while costs of unsuccessful development wells remain capitalized. Costs associated with uncompleted wells are capitalized as wells-in-progress.

 

Abandoned Leaseholds

 

Costs of nonproducing properties are charged to expense at such time as they are deemed to be impaired, based upon periodic assessments of such costs.

 

Depletion

 

Leasehold costs of producing properties are amortized on the unit of production method based on proved oil and gas reserves. Intangible development costs of producing properties are amortized on the unit of production method based on estimated proved developed oil and gas reserves.

 

Depreciation

 

Depreciation of equipment is provided by using the unit of production method based on estimated proved developed oil and gas reserves.

 

Organization Costs

 

These costs are amortized by the straight-line method over ten years, the life of the Partnership.

 

Federal Income Tax

 

The Partnership files its federal income tax return on the accrual basis.

 

2. Contributions By General Partner (Texland Properties-1981)

 

Under terms of the Partnership Agreement, the General Partner is charged for certain costs related to drilling and production operations which are required to be capitalized for federal income tax purposes. These costs are treated as capital contributions by the General Partner. In addition, Texland Properties-1981 and Texland Petroleum, L.P. have invested in limited partnership units in the amount of $95,000 and $30,000 respectively.

3. Fees To Managing General Partner (Texland Petroleum, L.P.)

 

In consideration of its management services rendered, the Managing General Partner is entitled to charge management fees to the Partnership. In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and March 31, 2003, the Partnership was charged $40,121 and $42,523 respectively for technical services, accounting services, and supervisory services performed by the employees of the Managing General Partner and such charges are included in intangible development costs, production expenses and fees to Managing General Partner. These charges are allocated between the General and Limited Partners based upon applicable revenue and expense sharing rates.

 

4. Accounting Principles Adopted in 2003

 

On January 1, 2003, the Partnership adopted Statements of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, “Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,” which addresses the financial accounting and reporting obligations and retirement costs related to the retirement of tangible long-lived assets. Among other things, SFAS No. 143 requires oil and gas companies to reflect asset retirement obligation liabilities on the face of the balance sheet at fair value on a discounted basis.

 

Consistent with industry practice, historically the Company had assumed the costs of plugging abandonment on its properties would be offset by salvage value received. SFAS 143 requires the Company to consider estimated salvage value in the calculation of depreciation, depletion and amortization. As a result of such implementation, a gain of $214,257 as cumulative effect adjustment of a change in accounting principle has been reflected in the Statement of Income for 2003.

Management's Discussion And Analysis Of Financial

Condition And Results Of Operations

 

March 31, 2004

 

The Partnership’s approximate average price actually received per barrel of oil for the third quarter of 2004 was $31.23 as compared to $30.56 for the first quarter of 2003. The decreased revenue and related severance tax expense result primarily from normal and expected declines in oil and gas production which more that offsets the increase in average oil and gas prices. Gas sales, which represent 15-20% of total oil and gas sales, also increased for this period. Gas sales are primarily short-term contracts which can vary widely from month to month.

 

Depreciation, depletion and amortization for the first quarter of 2004 was $27,405 as compared to $32,905 for the first quarter of 2003. Changes in depreciation and depletion for 2004 through 2003, are due primarily to normal expected decline in oil and gas production.

 

The Partnership was formed with cash contributions from the Limited and General Partners. Management does not intend to incur any substantial indebtedness and any developmental drilling which is necessary will be processed by farmout to other parties or by reinvestment of internally generated funds. Management, therefore, anticipates no liquidity problems during the life of the Partnership.
