                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  March 31, 1997
                                   (Unaudited)


Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker &  Parsley  86-B,  Ltd.  (the  "Partnership")  is a  limited  partnership
organized in 1986 under the laws of the State of Texas.

The Partnership  engages  primarily in oil and gas development and 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 as of March 31,
1997 of the Partnership  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.  However,  these interim results are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

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,  1996,  as filed with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission,  a copy of which is  available  upon request by writing to
Steven L. Beal, Senior Vice President,  303 West Wall, Suite 101, Midland, Texas
79701.

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 to $396,845 from $395,800 for
the three  months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996,  respectively.  The increase in
revenues  resulted from a 15% increase in the average price  received per barrel
of oil and a 42% increase in the average price  received per mcf of gas,  offset
by a 16%  decrease in barrels of oil produced and sold and a 23% decrease in mcf
of gas  produced and sold.  For the three  months  ended March 31, 1997,  12,464
barrels  of oil were sold  compared  to 14,826  for the same  period in 1996,  a
decrease  of  2,362  barrels.  Of  the  decrease,  1,353  barrels,  or  9%,  was
attributable  to the sale of eight oil and gas wells during 1996.  The remaining
decrease of 7%, or 1,009 barrels, was due to the decline  characteristics of the
Partnership's oil and gas properties. For the three months ended March 31, 1997,
40,603 mcf of gas were sold  compared to 52,867 for the same  period in 1996,  a
decrease of 12,264 mcf. Of the decrease,  5,248 mcf, or 10%, was attributable to

                                        7

the sale of eight oil and gas wells during 1996. The remaining decrease of 7,016
mcf, or 13%, was due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties.  Because of these characteristics,  management expects a certain
amount  of  decline  in   production   to  continue  in  the  future  until  the
Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $2.88 from $19.00 for the
three months  ended March 31, 1996 to $21.88 for the same period in 1997,  while
the average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased  from $2.16 for the three
months  ended March 31,  1996 to $3.06 for the same  period in 1997.  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, 1997.

Salvage  income of $6,887 was  received  during the three months ended March 31,
1996 from the disposal of equipment on one fully depleted well.

A gain was  realized as a result of the  receipt of $4,332 in proceeds  from the
sale of four fully depleted  properties  during the three months ended March 31,
1996.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses  decreased to $252,486 for the three months ended March
31,  1997 as compared  to  $305,671  for the same period in 1996,  a decrease of
$53,185,  or  17%.  This  decrease  was due to  declines  in  production  costs,
depletion and  abandoned  property  costs,  offset by an increase in general and
administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production  costs were  $160,463  for the three  months ended March 31, 1997 and
$200,259 for the same period in 1996,  resulting in a $39,796 decrease,  or 20%.
Of the decrease,  $14,808,  or 7%, was attributable to the sale of eight oil and
gas wells and four saltwater  disposal wells during 1996. The remaining decrease
of 12%, or $24,988, was due to a reduction in well repair and maintenance costs.

G&A's  components are independent  accounting and engineering  fees and managing
general  partner  personnel  and  operating  costs.   During  this  period,  G&A
increased, in aggregate,  from $11,874 for the three months ended March 31, 1996
to $11,905 for the same period in 1997. The Partnership  agreement limits G&A to
3% of gross oil and gas revenues.

Depletion  was $80,118  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1997  compared to
$92,052 for the same period in 1996. This represented a decrease in depletion of
$11,934,  or 13%,  primarily  attributable to the the sale of properties  during
1996 and a decline in oil production of 2,362 barrels for the three months ended
March 31, 1997 compared to the same period in 1996, offset by an upward revision
in oil and gas reserves.

Abandoned  property  costs of $1,486 were  incurred on one well during the three
months ended March 31, 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $99,243 for the three months
ended March 31, 1997 from the same period in 1996.  This  increase was due to an
increase  in oil and gas sales  receipts  and a  decrease  in  expenditures  for
production costs.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The Partnership's  investing  activities  related to the disposal of oil and gas
equipment on active  properties  was $16,684 during the three months ended March
31, 1997 and $6,752 for the same period in 1996.

Proceeds of $6,887 were  received  during the three  months ended March 31, 1996
from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Four fully depleted properties were sold during the three months ended March 31,
1996, resulting in the receipt of $4,332 in proceeds from the sale.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash  was  sufficient  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1997 to  cover
distributions  to the partners of $292,401 of which $289,477 was  distributed to
the limited partners and $2,924 to the managing  general  partner.  For the same
period  ended March 31,  1996,  cash was  sufficient  for  distributions  to the
partners of $174,521 of which $172,776 was  distributed to the limited  partners
and $1,745 to the managing general partner.

It is expected  that future net cash  provided by operating  activities  will be
sufficient for any capital expenditures and any distributions. As the production
from the properties declines, distributions are also expected to decrease.
