SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows: Oil and gas properties -- The Partnership utilizes the successful efforts method of accounting for its oil and gas properties and equipment. Under this method, all costs associated with productive wellx xxx nonproductive development wellx xxx capitalized while nonproductive exploration costs are expensed. Capitalized costs relating to proved properties are depleted using the unit-of-production method on a property-by-property basis based on proved oil (dominant mineral) reserves as determined by the engineering staff of Pioneer USA, the Partnership's managing general partner, and reviewed by independent petroleum consultants. The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in operations. Impairment of long-lived assets -- In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121"), the Partnership reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used on an individual property basis, including oil and gas properties accounted for under the successful efforts method of accounting, whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. In this circumstance, the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the estimated fair value of the asset. Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements -- Preparation of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Net income (loss) per limited partnership interest -- The net income (loss) per limited partnership interest is calculated by using the number of outstanding limited partnership interests. Income taxes -- A Federal income tax provision has not been included in the financial statements as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual Federal income tax returns of the respective partners. 15 151 PARKXX & XARSXXX 00-A, L.P. (A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED) Statements of cash flows -- For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash includes depository accounts held by banks. General and administrative expenses -- General and administrative expenses are allocated in part to the Partnership by the managing general partner or its affiliates. Such allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon its judgement of the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the managing general partner's activities and other entities it manages. The method of allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities. Reclassifications -- Certain reclassifications may have been made to the 1997 and 1996 financial statements to conform to the 1998 financial statement presentations. Environmental -- The Partnership is subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Partnership to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a noncapital nature are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 1998. Revenue recognition -- The Partnership uses the entitlements method of accounting for crude oil and natural gas revenues. Reporting comprehensive income -- Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" ("SFAS No. 130") establishes standards for the reporting and display of comprehensive income (loss) and its components in a full set of general purpose financial statements. Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). The Partnership has no items of other comprehensive income (loss), as defined by SFAS No. 130. Consequently, the provisions of SFAS No. 130 do not apply to the Partnership.
Material Changes Except as contemplated in the Prospectus, or disclosed in the Company’s reports filed with the Commission, there shall not have been any material adverse change in the authorized capital stock of the Company or any Material Adverse Effect or any development that would reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse Effect, or a downgrading in or withdrawal of the rating assigned to any of the Company’s securities (other than asset backed securities) by any rating organization or a public announcement by any rating organization that it has under surveillance or review its rating of any of the Company’s securities (other than asset backed securities), the effect of which, in the case of any such action by a rating organization described above, in the reasonable judgment of the Agent (without relieving the Company of any obligation or liability it may otherwise have), is so material as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering of the Placement Shares on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus.
Results The five values obtained shall be arranged in order and the median value taken as the result of the measurement. This value shall be expressed in Newtons per centimetre of width of the tape.
ADVERTISING RESULTS The prior written approval of the Commissioner is required in order for results of the Bid to be used by the Contractor as part of any commercial advertising. The Contractor shall also obtain the prior written approval of the Commissioner relative to the Bid or Contract for press or other media releases.
Publication of Results The National Aeronautics and Space Act (51 U.S.C. § 20112) requires NASA to provide for the widest practicable and appropriate dissemination of information concerning its activities and the results thereof. As such, NASA may publish unclassified and non-Proprietary Data resulting from work performed under this Agreement. The Parties will coordinate publication of results allowing a reasonable time to review and comment.
SUMMARY As provided in the Fifth Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Trust Agreement of the Trust, as amended from time to time (the “Trust Agreement”) as currently in effect and described in the applicable Prospectus (defined below), units of fractional undivided beneficial interest in and ownership of each Fund (individually and collectively, the “Shares”) may be created or redeemed by the Managing Owner for an Authorized Participant in aggregations of two hundred thousand (200,000) Shares (each aggregation, a “Basket”). Baskets are offered only pursuant to the applicable registration statement of the Trust, with respect to all the Funds, excluding the DBA Fund and the DBS Fund, on Form S-3, with respect to the DBA Fund on Form S-3ASR, and with respect to the DBS Fund on Form S-1, as amended (Registration Nos.: 333-203008 et seq. with respect to all the Funds, excluding the DBA Fund and the DBS Fund; Registration Nos.: 333-185865 et seq. with respect to the DBA Fund only; Registration Nos.: 333-193222 et seq. with respect to the DBS Fund only), as currently effective and on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and as the same may be amended from time to time thereafter or any successor registration statement in respect of Shares of each Fund (each, a “Registration Statement,” collectively, the “Registration Statements”) together with the prospectuses of the Trust in the form filed with the SEC under Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), after the effectiveness of the Registration Statements (each, a “Prospectus,” collectively, the “Prospectuses”). Under the Trust Agreement, the Managing Owner is authorized to issue Baskets to, and redeem Baskets from, Authorized Participants, (i) through the Continuous Net Settlement (“CNS”) clearing processes of the National Securities Clearing Corporation (the “NSCC”) as such processes have been enhanced to effect purchases and redemptions of Creation Baskets and Redemption Baskets (the “CNS Clearing Process”), or (ii) if outside the CNS Clearing Process, only through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC” or the “Depository”) (the “DTC Process”), or a successor depository, and only in exchange for cash. This Agreement sets forth the specific procedures by which an Authorized Participant may create or redeem Baskets. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “Prospectus” shall mean the Prospectus for the DBA Fund, the Prospectus for the DBS Fund or the Prospectus for all of the Funds, excluding the DBA Fund and the DBS Fund, as the context requires. Because new Shares for each Fund can be created and issued by the Trust on an ongoing basis, at any point during the life of each respective Fund, a “distribution,” as such term is used in the 1933 Act, may be occurring. The Authorized Participant is cautioned that some of its activities may result in its being deemed a participant in a distribution in a manner that would render it a statutory underwriter and subject it to the prospectus delivery and liability provisions of the 1933 Act. The Authorized Participant should review the “Plan of Distribution” section of the applicable Prospectus and consult with its own counsel in connection with entering into this Agreement and submitting a Purchase Order Subscription Agreement (defined below). Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Trust Agreement. To the extent there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and the provisions of the Trust Agreement, the provisions of the Trust Agreement shall control. To the extent there is a conflict between any provision of this Agreement and the provisions of the applicable Prospectus, the applicable Prospectus shall control. For the avoidance of doubt, any action which is an action being taken by the Managing Owner may be taken by a party whom the Managing Owner has duly authorized to take such action. To give effect to the foregoing premises and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Pricing The Contractor will not exceed the pricing set forth in the Contract documents.
Revisions of Prospectus -- Material Changes If at any time prior to the Settlement Date any event shall occur or condition exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for the Agents, counsel for the Company or counsel for the Trust, to amend or supplement the Registration Statement in order that the Registration Statement will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances existing at the time the Prospectus is delivered to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of any such counsel, to amend or supplement the Registration Statement or amend or supplement the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the 1933 Act or the 1933 Act Regulations, as applicable, the Company shall give prompt notice, confirmed in writing, to the Agents to cease the solicitation of offers for the purchase of Notes and to cease sales of any Notes by the Purchasing Agent, and the Company will promptly prepare and file with the Commission subject to Section III(b)(ii) hereof, such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to make the Registration Statement and Prospectus comply with such requirements, and the Company will furnish to the Agents, without charge, such number of copies of such amendment or supplement as the Agents may reasonably request. In addition, the Company will comply with the 1933 Act, the 1933 Act Regulations, the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission under the 1934 Act (the "1934 Act Regulations") so as to permit the completion of the distribution of each offering of Notes.
Dates The dates of inception and expiration of the insurance. For individual events, the specific event dates must be listed, along with all set-up and tear down dates.
