ITEM 2.         Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

     Divestiture of Australasian Assets

     On March 28, 1996, the Company  completed the sale of certain  wholly-owned
Australian  subsidiaries  to Santos Ltd. for aggregate  consideration  of $161.7
million  which  consisted of cash  proceeds of $111.1  million for the equity of
such  entities,   $21.5  million  reimbursement  of  certain  intercompany  cash
advances, and the assumption of such subsidiaries' net liabilities, exclusive of
oil and gas properties,  of $29.1 million. The Company's Australasian properties
were located  principally  in the Cooper Basin in Central  Australia,  the Surat
Basin in Northeast Australia, the Carnarvon Basin on the Northwest Shelf off the
coast of Western Australia, the Otway Basin off the coast of South Australia and
the Central  Sumatra  Basin in  Indonesia.  At December 31, 1995,  the Company's
interests in these  properties  contained  32.1  million BOE of proved  reserves
(consisting  of 12.4  million  Bbls of oil and 118.3  Bcf of gas),  representing
$133.8  million of SEC 10 value (10% of the total SEC 10 value  attributable  to
the Company's  proved oil and gas reserves).  During 1995, daily production from
these properties averaged 4,312 Bbls of oil and 23,633 Mcf of gas.

     The Company has also  entered  into an agreement  with  Phillips  Petroleum
International Investment Company to sell another wholly-owned subsidiary, Bridge
Oil Timor Sea, Inc., for additional  cash proceeds of $78.6 million.  Bridge Oil
Timor Sea, Inc. has a wholly-owned  Australian subsidiary,  Bridge Oil Timor Sea
Pty Ltd.,  which owns a 22.5%  interest in the ZOCA 19-13 permit in the offshore
Bonaparte Basin in the Zone of Cooperation  between Australia and Indonesia.  It
is anticipated that this transaction will be completed in June 1996.

     Aggregate net cash proceeds from both sales of approximately  $203 million,
after  payment of certain  costs and  expenses,  will be  utilized to reduce the
Company's   outstanding  bank  indebtedness  and  for  general  working  capital
purposes.

     Divestiture of Domestic Assets

     The  Company  regularly  reviews  its  property  base  for the  purpose  of
identifying   nonstrategic   assets,  the  disposition  of  which  would  create
organizational and operational  efficiencies.  While the Company generally would
not dispose of assets solely for the purpose of reducing debt, such dispositions
can  have  the  result  of  furthering  the  Company's  objective  of  financial
flexibility  through  decreased  debt  levels.  Based  on its  current  domestic
divestiture  plan,  the Company  anticipates  realizing  asset sale  proceeds of
approximately  $50 million during 1996.  During the three months ended March 31,
1996,  the  Company  received  proceeds  of $3.8  million  from the sale of such
properties  and related  assets.  Subsequent to March 31, 1996,  the Company has
sold, or entered into agreements to sell, additional properties,  gas plants and
related  assets  for  estimated  proceeds  of $52.1  million  subject  to normal
purchase price adjustments.  At December 31, 1995, the domestic properties which
the Company has sold, or agreed to sell,  contained proved reserves of 5 million
barrels  of oil and 38.9 Bcf of gas and had an  aggregate  SEC 10 value of $51.2
million.  The proceeds from such  divestitures  will initially be used to reduce
outstanding  indebtedness  and  subsequently to provide funding for a portion of
the  Company's  1996  capital  expenditures  including  purchases of oil and gas
properties in the Company's core areas.

        Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements of the Company



       The Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements of the Company have
been prepared to give effect to (i) the sale of certain wholly-owned  Australian
subsidiaries  to Santos Ltd. in March 1996,  (ii) the pending sale of Bridge Oil
Timor Sea, Inc. to Phillips Petroleum International  Investment Company which is
anticipated  to be completed in June 1996 (items (i) and (ii)  collectively  the
"Australasian Assets"), (iii) the aggregate effect of both completed and pending
sales (evidenced by signed purchase and sale agreements) of certain nonstrategic
domestic  oil and gas  properties,  gas plants,  and related  assets  during the
period  from  January 2, 1996 to May 31,  1996  (collectively  the "1996  Assets
Sold"), and (iv) the aggregate effect of completed sales of certain nonstrategic
domestic oil and gas properties,  gas plants, and related assets during the year
ended December 31, 1995 (collectively the "1995 Assets Sold"). The Unaudited Pro
Forma  Combined  Financial   Statements  of  the  Company  are  not  necessarily
indicative  of the financial  results for the periods  presented had the sale of
the  Australasian  Assets,  the 1996 Assets Sold, and the 1995 Assets Sold taken
place on January 1, 1995.  In addition,  future  results may vary  significantly
from the results  reflected in the  accompanying  Unaudited  Pro Forma  Combined
Financial Statements because of normal production  declines,  changes in product
prices and future  acquisitions  and  divestitures,  among other  factors.  This
information  should  be read in  conjunction  with  the  Consolidated  Financial
Statements of the Company (and the related notes)  included in the Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 and in the Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 1996.

balance  sheet is  presented as if the sale of the  Australasian  Assets and the
1996 Assets Sold  occurred at the balance sheet date and the unaudited pro forma
combined  statements  of  operations  are  presented  as  if  the  sale  of  the
Australasian  Assets, the 1996 Assets Sold, and the 1995 Assets Sold occurred on
January 1, 1995.

          The Company - Represents  the  consolidated  balance sheet of Parker &
      Parsley  Petroleum  Company  as of March  31,  1996  and the  consolidated
      statements  of operations  of Parker & Parsley  Petroleum  Company for the

     was utilized to reduce amounts  outstanding under the Company's bank credit
     facility,  and  $30.1  million  was  utilized  to  increase  cash  and cash
     equivalents.

(b)  To adjust interest  expense  resulting from the application of that portion
     of the sales proceeds  necessary to retire the Company's  outstanding  bank
     indebtedness. The proceeds applied in 1996 of $225 million from the sale of
     the Australasian Assets and the 1996 Assets Sold resulted in a reduction in
     interest  expense of $3.2 million.  The proceeds  applied in 1995 of $328.3
     million from the sale of the Australasian  Assets, the 1996 Assets Sold and
     the 1995 Assets Sold  resulted in a reduction of interest  expense of $29.6
     million.  The reductions in interest expense were calculated  utilizing the
     Company's  weighted average rate on its bank  indebtedness of 6.37% for the
     three months ended March 31, 1996 and 7.18% for the year ended December 31,
     1995, respectively.

(c)  To  adjust  interest  income as a result of  investing  the sales  proceeds
     received in excess of the amounts used to retire the Company's  outstanding
     bank  indebtedness.  Such excess cash proceeds  exceeded  outstanding  bank
     indebtedness by an average amount of $30.1 million during the quarter ended
     March 31, 1996 and $89.4 million  during the year ended  December 31, 1995.
     The Company  typically  invests excess cash in a Treasury  Securities money
     fund which had an average yield of 4.49% during the quarter ended March 31,
     1996 and 4.98% during the year ended December 31, 1995.

(d)  To  adjust  interest  expense  and  amortization  of  debt  issuance  costs
     associated  with (i) the  issuance  in April  1995 of $150  million  8-7/8%
     Senior  Notes due April 15, 2005 (an  additional  $3.4  million in interest
     expense) and (ii) the issuance in August 1995 of $150 million 8-1/4% Senior
     Notes due August 15, 2007 (an additional $8.2 million in interest expense).

(e)  To adjust income tax expense for each tax jurisdiction.

Note 3.      Income Taxes

     The  Company  accounts  for income  taxes  pursuant  to the  provisions  of
Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 109,  "Accounting  for Income
Taxes" ("Statement 109"). In accordance with Statement 109, the Company prepares
separate  tax  calculations  for each tax  jurisdiction  in which the Company is
subject to income taxes.

     The  Company's  tax provision for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 of $12.3
million included a provision of $6.4 million related to the write-off of certain
net  operating  loss  carryforwards  which,  with the  sale of the  Australasian
Assets, will not be utilized in the future.

                      December 31, 1995 and March 31, 1996

Note 4.      Income (Loss) from Continuing Operations per Share

     Income (loss) from continuing  operations per share is calculated  based on
the weighted  average  number of shares and share  equivalents,  if more than 3%
dilutive,  outstanding  during the  period.  Fully  diluted  loss per common and
common  equivalent  share is not presented for the year ended  December 31, 1995
since the effect would be antidilutive.

Note 5.      Oil and Gas Reserve Data

     The following  unaudited pro forma supplemental  information  regarding the
oil and gas  activities of the Company is presented  pursuant to the  disclosure
requirements promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Statement
of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No.  69,  "Disclosures  About  Oil and Gas
Producing  Activities".  The pro forma combined reserve information is presented
as if the sale of the  Australasian  Assets,  1996 Assets Sold,  and 1995 Assets
Sold had  occurred  on January  1, 1995.  Information  for oil is  presented  in
barrels (Bbls) and for gas in thousands of cubic feet (Mcf).

     The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently  imprecise and
subject to revision and that  estimates of new  discoveries  are more  imprecise
than those of producing oil and gas properties.  Accordingly,  the estimates are
expected to change as future information  becomes available;  such changes could
be significant.

Quantities of oil and gas reserves

     Set forth below is a pro forma summary of the changes in the net quantities
of oil and natural gas reserves for the year ended December 31, 1995.

production of oil and gas reserves less estimated future  expenditures (based on
year-end  costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved  reserves
discounted  using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated  timing of the
future cash flows.  Future income taxes are  calculated by comparing  discounted
future  cash  flows to the tax basis of oil and gas  properties  plus  available
carryforwards and credits and applying the current tax rate to the difference.
