Southwest Oil & Gas Income Fund X-A, L.P.
(a Delaware limited partnership)
Notes to Financial Statements
1. Organization
Southwest Oil and Gas Income Fund X-A, L.P. was organized under the
laws of the state of Delaware on January 29, 1990, for the purpose of
acquiring producing oil and gas properties and to produce and market
crude oil and natural gas produced from such properties for a term of
50 years, unless terminated at an earlier date as provided for in the
Partnership Agreement. The Partnership sells its oil and gas
production to a variety of purchasers with the prices it receives
being dependent upon the oil and gas economy. Southwest Royalties,
Inc. serves as the Managing General Partner and H. H. Wommack, III, as
the individual general partner. Revenues, costs, and expenses are
allocated as follows:
Limited General
Partners Partners
-------- --------
-- ---
Interest income on capital 100% -
contributions
Oil and gas sales 90% 10%
All other revenues 90% 10%
Organization and offering 100% -

All other costs 90% 10%
(1) All organization costs in excess of 3% of initial capital
contributions will be paid by the Managing General Partner and
will be treated as a capital contribution. The Partnership paid
the Managing General Partner an amount equal to 3% of initial
capital contributions for such organization costs.
(2) Administrative costs in any year which exceed 2% of capital
contributions shall be paid by the Managing General Partner and
will be treated as a capital contribution.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The interim financial information as of March 31, 2004, and for the
three months ended March 31, 2004, is unaudited. 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. However,
in the opinion of management, these interim financial statements
include all the necessary adjustments to fairly present the results of
the interim periods and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2003.
3. Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle - SFAS No. 143
On January 1, 2003, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations ("SFAS No. 143"). Adoption of SFAS No. 143 is required
for all companies with fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002.
The new standard requires the Partnership to recognize a liability for
the present value of all legal obligations associated with the
retirement of tangible long-lived assets and to capitalize an equal
amount as a cost of the asset and depreciate the additional cost over
the estimated useful life of the asset. On January 1, 2003, the
Partnership recorded additional costs, net of accumulated
depreciation, of approximately $159,604, a long term liability of
approximately $139,208 and a gain of approximately $20,396 for the
cumulative effect on depreciation of the additional costs and
accretion expense on the liability related to expected abandonment
costs of its oil and natural gas producing properties. At March 31,
2004, the asset retirement obligation was $140,779. The increase in
the balance from January 1, 2004 is due to accretion expense of
$2,760.

Notes to Financial Statements
4. Subsequent Event
Subsequent to December 31, 2003, the Managing General Partner
announced that its Board of Directors had decided to explore a merger
or sale of the stock of the Company. The Board formed a Special
Committee of independent directors to oversee the sale process. The
Special Committee retained independent financial and legal advisors to
work closely with management to implement the sale process.
On May 3, 2004, the Managing General Partner entered into a cash
merger agreement to sell all of its stock to Clayton Williams Energy,
Inc. The cash merger price is being negotiated, but is expected to be
approximately $45 per share. The transaction, which is subject to
approval by the Managing General Partner's shareholders, is expected
to close no later than May 21, 2004.
Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
General
Southwest Oil & Gas 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 on May 11, 1990 as part of a shelf offering
registered under the name Southwest Oil & Gas 1990-91 Income Program.
Minimum capital requirements for the Partnership were met on August 15,
1990, with the offering of limited partnership interests concluding on
November 30, 1990, with total limited partner contributions of $5,242,000.
The Partnership was formed to acquire 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. The economic life of the Partnership thus depends
on the period over which the Partnership's oil and gas reserves are
economically recoverable.
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 decline in later years based on these factors.
Based on current conditions, management anticipates performing no drilling
projects and workovers during the year 2004 to enhance production. The
partnership will most likely continue to experience the historical
production decline, which has approximated 9% per year. Accordingly, if
commodity prices remain unchanged, the Partnership expects future earnings
to decline due to anticipated production declines.
Oil and Gas Properties
Oil and gas properties are accounted for at cost under the full-cost
method. Under this method, all productive and nonproductive costs incurred
in connection with the acquisition, exploration and development of oil and
gas reserves are capitalized. Gain or loss on the sale of oil and gas
properties is not recognized unless significant oil and gas reserves are
sold.
In 2002, the Partnership changed methods of accounting for depletion of
capitalized costs from the units-of-revenue method to the units-of-
production method. The newly adopted accounting principle is preferable in
the circumstances because the units-of-production method results in a
better matching of the costs of oil and gas production against the related
revenue received in periods of volatile prices for production as have been
experienced in recent periods. Additionally, the units-of-production method
is the predominant method used by full cost companies in the oil and gas
industry, accordingly, the change improves the comparability of the
Partnership's financial statements with its peer group.
Should the net capitalized costs exceed the estimated present value of oil
and gas reserves, discounted at 10%, such excess costs would be charged to
current expense. As of March 31, 2004 the net capitalized costs did not
exceed the estimated present value of oil and gas reserves.
Critical Accounting Policies
Full cost ceiling calculations The Partnership follows the full cost method
of accounting for its oil and gas properties. The full cost method
subjects companies to quarterly calculations of a "ceiling", or limitation
on the amount of properties that can be capitalized on the balance sheet.
If the Partnership's capitalized costs are in excess of the calculated
ceiling, the excess must be written off as an expense.
The Partnership's discounted present value of its proved oil and natural
gas reserves is a major component of the ceiling calculation, and
represents the component that requires the most subjective judgments.
Estimates of reserves are forecasts based on engineering data, projected
future rates of production and the timing of future expenditures. The
process of estimating oil and natural gas reserves requires substantial
judgment, resulting in imprecise determinations, particularly for new
discoveries. Different reserve engineers may make different estimates of
reserve quantities based on the same data. The Partnership's reserve
estimates are prepared by outside consultants. Quarterly reserve estimates
are prepared by the Managing General Partner's internal staff of engineers.
The passage of time provides more qualitative information regarding
estimates of reserves, and revisions are made to prior estimates to reflect
updated information. However, there can be no assurance that more
significant revisions will not be necessary in the future. If future
significant revisions are necessary that reduce previously estimated
reserve quantities, it could result in a full cost property writedown. In
addition to the impact of these estimates of proved reserves on calculation
of the ceiling, estimates of proved reserves are also a significant
component of the calculation of DD&A.
While the quantities of proved reserves require substantial judgment, the
associated prices of oil and natural gas reserves that are included in the
discounted present value of the reserves do not require judgment. The
ceiling calculation dictates that prices and costs in effect as of the last
day of the period are generally held constant indefinitely. Because the
ceiling calculation dictates that prices in effect as of the last day of
the applicable quarter are held constant indefinitely, the resulting value
is not indicative of the true fair value of the reserves. Oil and natural
gas prices have historically been cyclical and, on any particular day at
the end of a quarter, can be either substantially higher or lower than the
Partnership's long-term price forecast that is a barometer for true fair
value.
In 2002, the Partnership changed methods of accounting for depletion of
capitalized costs from the units-of-revenue method to the units-of-
production method. The newly adopted accounting principle is preferable in
the circumstances because the units-of-production method results in a
better matching of the costs of oil and gas production against the related
revenue received in periods of volatile prices for production as have been
experienced in recent periods. Additionally, the units-of-production
method is the predominant method used by full cost companies in the oil and
gas industry, accordingly, the change improves the comparability of the
Partnership's financial statements with its peer group.

Revenues
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased to $94,043 from $109,095
for the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, a decrease of
14%. The principal factors affecting the comparison of the quarters ended
March 31, 2004 and 2003 are as follows:
1. The average price for a barrel of oil received by the Partnership
decreased during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the
quarter ended March 31, 2003 by 2%, or $.59 per barrel, resulting in a
decrease of approximately $1,400 in revenues. Oil sales represented
81% of total oil and gas sales during the quarter ended March 31, 2004
as compared to 82% during the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
The average price for an mcf of gas received by the Partnership
decreased during the same period by 4%, or $.23 per mcf, resulting in a
decrease of approximately $700 in revenues.
The total decrease in revenues due to the change in prices received
from oil and gas production is approximately $2,100. 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 350 barrels or 13% during the
quarter ended March 31, 2004 as compared to the quarter ended March 31,
2003, resulting in a decrease of approximately $11,100 in revenues.
Gas production decreased approximately 290 mcf or 9% during the same
period, resulting in a decrease of approximately $1,800 in revenues.
The total decrease in revenues due to the change in production is
approximately $12,900. The decrease in oil volumes is from a steep
decline on one property.
Costs and Expenses
Total costs and expenses decreased to $73,827 from $84,748 for the quarters
ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, a decrease of 13%. The
decrease is a direct result of the decrease in accretion expense associated
with our long term liability related to expected abandonment costs of our
oil and natural gas properties, depletion expense and lease operating
costs, partially offset by an increase in general administrative expense.
1. Lease operating costs and production taxes were 21% lower or
approximately $12,200 less during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The higher expenses in
2003 were related to two properties sold in 2003, a well plugged and
abandoned in 2003, and well and surface repairs made on one property in
2003.
2. General and administrative costs consist of independent accounting and
engineering fees, computer services, postage, and Managing General
Partner personnel costs. General and administrative costs increased
11% or approximately $2,300 during the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as
compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The increase in general
and administrative costs is due primarily to an increase of
approximately $1,660 in quarterly accounting review fees.
3. Depletion expense decreased to $2,000 for the quarter ended March 31,
2004 from $3,000 for the same period in 2003. This represents a
decrease of 33%. The contributing factor to the decrease in depletion
expense is in relation to the BOE depletion rate for the quarter ended
March 31, 2004, which was $.68 applied to 2,935 BOE as compared to $.90
applied to 3,333 BOE for the same period in 2003.
Cumulative effect of change in accounting principle
On January 1, 2003, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations
("SFAS No. 143"). Adoption of SFAS No. 143 is required for all companies
with fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The new standard requires
the Partnership to recognize a liability for the present value of all legal
obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets
and to capitalize an equal amount as a cost of the asset and depreciate the
additional cost over the estimated useful life of the asset. On January 1,
2003, the Partnership recorded additional costs, net of accumulated
depreciation, of approximately $159,604, a long term liability of
approximately $139,208 and a gain of approximately $20,396 for the
cumulative effect on depreciation of the additional costs and accretion
expense on the liability related to expected abandonment costs of its oil
and natural gas producing properties. At March 31, 2004, the asset
retirement obligation was $140,779. The increase in the balance from
January 1, 2004 is due to accretion expense of $2,760.
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 than the ones noted above, nor does it anticipate any such
change.
Cash flows provided by operating activities were approximately $23,700 in
the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as compared to approximately $1,300 in the
quarter ended March 31, 2003.
Cash flows provided by (used in) investing activities were approximately
$1,900 in the quarter ended March 31, 2004 as compared to approximately
$(1,300) in the quarter ended March 31, 2003. The principle source of the
2004 cash flow from investing activities was the sale of equipment.
There were no cash flows used in financing activities in the quarter ended
March 31, 2004. There were no material cash flows used in financing
activities in the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
There were no distributions during the quarters ended March 31, 2004 and
2003.
Cumulative cash distributions of $2,828,638 have been made to the general
and limited partners. As of March 31, 2004, $2,603,389 or $248.32 per
limited partner unit has been distributed to the limited partners,
representing a 50% return of the capital contributed.
As of March 31, 2004, the Partnership had approximately $70,200 in working
capital. The Managing General Partner knows of no unusual contractual
commitments. Although the partnership held many long-lived properties at
inception, because of the restrictions on property development imposed by
the partnership agreement, the Partnership cannot develop its non-producing
properties, if any. Without continued development, the producing reserves
continue to deplete. Accordingly, as the Partnership's properties have
matured and depleted, the net cash flows from operations for the
partnership has steadily declined, except in periods of substantially
increased commodity pricing. Maintenance of properties and administrative
expenses for the Partnership are increasing relative to production. As the
properties continue to deplete, maintenance of properties and
administrative costs as a percentage of production are expected to continue
to increase.
Liquidity - Managing General Partner
As of December 31, 2003, the Managing General Partner is in violation of
several covenants pertaining to their Amended and Restated Revolving Credit
Agreement due June 1, 2006 and their Senior Second Lien Secured Credit
Agreement due October 15, 2008. Due to the covenant violations, the
Managing General Partner is in default under their Amended and Restated
Revolving Credit Agreement and the Senior Second Lien Secured Credit
Agreement, and all amounts due under these agreements have been classified
as a current liability on the Managing General Partner's balance sheet at
December 31, 2003. The significant working capital deficit and debt being
in default at December 31, 2003, raise substantial doubt about the Managing
General Partner's ability to continue as a going concern.
Subsequent to December 31, 2003, the Board of Directors of the Managing
General Partner announced its decision to explore a merger, sale of the
stock or other transaction involving the Managing General Partner. The
Board has formed a Special Committee of independent directors to oversee
the sales process. The Special Committee has retained independent
financial and legal advisors to work closely with the management of the
Managing General Partner to implement the sales process. There can be no
assurance that a sale of the Managing General Partner will be consummated
or what terms, if consummated, the sale will be on.
On May 3, 2004, the Managing General Partner entered into a cash merger
agreement to sell all of its stock to Clayton Williams Energy, Inc. The
cash merger price is being negotiated, but is expected to be approximately
$45 per share. The transaction, which is subject to approval by the
Managing General Partner's shareholders, is expected to close no later than
May 21, 2004.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The EITF is considering two issues related to the reporting of oil and gas
mineral rights. Issue No. 03-O, "Whether Mineral Rights Are Tangible or
Intangible Assets," is whether or not mineral rights are intangible assets
pursuant to SFAS No. 141, "Business Combinations." Issue No. 03-S,
"Application of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, to Oil
and Gas Companies," is, if oil and gas drilling rights are intangible
assets, whether those assets are subject to the classification and
disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 142. The Partnership classifies the cost
of oil and gas mineral rights as properties and equipment and believes that
this is consistent with oil and gas accounting and industry practice. The
disclosures required by SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 would be made in the notes to
the financial statements. There would be no effect on the statement of
income or cash flows as the intangible assets related to oil and gas
mineral rights would continue to be amortized under the full cost method of
accounting.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
The Partnership is not a party to any derivative or embedded derivative
instruments.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the three months ended March 31, 2004, H.H. Wommack, III, President
and Chief Executive Officer of the Managing General Partner, and Bill E.
Coggin, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the
Managing General Partner, evaluated the effectiveness of the Partnership's
disclosure controls and procedures. Based on their evaluation, they
believe that:
The disclosure controls and procedures of the Partnership were
effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the
Partnership in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act
was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time
periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms; and
The disclosure controls and procedures of the Partnership were
effective in ensuring that material information required to be
disclosed by the Partnership in the report it filed or submitted under
the Exchange Act was accumulated and communicated to the Managing
General Partner's management, including its President and Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow
timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There has not been any change in the Partnership's internal control over
financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31,
2004 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially
affect, it internal control over financial reporting.
