NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1998
(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,
1998 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, 1997, as filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to
Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.
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 decreased 35% to $257,569 from $396,845
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease
in revenues resulted from lower average prices received, offset by an increase
in production. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, 12,074 barrels of oil,
5,293 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 24,688 mcf of gas were sold,
or 21,482 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March
31, 1997, 12,464 barrels of oil and 40,603 mcf of gas were sold, or 19,231 BOEs.
As of September 30, 1997, the Partnership began accounting for processed natural
gas production as processed natural gas liquids and dry residue gas.
Consequently, separate product volumes will not be comparable for periods prior
to September 30, 1997. Also, prices for gas products will not be comparable as
the price per mcf for natural gas for the three months ended March 31, 1998 is
the price received for dry residue gas and the price per mcf for natural gas for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 is a price for wet gas (i.e., natural gas
liquids combined with dry residue gas).
7
<PAGE>
The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $7.28, or 33%, from
$21.88 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $14.60 for the same period
in 1998. The average price received per barrel of NGLs during the three months
ended March 31, 1998 was $7.73. The average price received per mcf of gas
decreased 46% from $3.06 during the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $1.64
for the same period in 1998. 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, 1998.
During most of 1997, the Partnership benefitted from higher oil prices as
compared to previous years. However, during the fourth quarter of 1997, oil
prices began a downward trend that has continued into March 1998. On April 23,
1998, the market price for West Texas intermediate crude was $13.80 per barrel.
A continuation of the oil price environment experienced during the first quarter
of 1998 will have an adverse effect on the Partnership's revenues and operating
cash flow and could result in additional decreases in the carrying value of the
Partnership's oil and gas properties.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses increased to $253,180 for the three months ended March
31, 1998 as compared to $252,486 for the same period in 1997, an increase of
$694. This increase was due to increases in abandoned property expenses and
production costs, offset by decreases in depletion and general and
administrative expenses ("G&A").
Production costs were $167,563 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
$160,463 for the same period in 1997, resulting in a $7,100 increase, or 4%. The
increase was primarily due to an increase in well maintenance costs, offset by a
decrease in production taxes.
G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A
decreased, in aggregate, 35% from $11,905 for the three months ended March 31,
1997 to $7,727 for the same period in 1998.
Depletion was $68,244 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to
$80,118 for the same period in 1997. This represented a decrease in depletion of
$11,874, or 15%. This decrease was primarily attributable to a reduction in the
Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken 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") during the fourth quarter of 1997 and a reduction in oil production
of 390 barrels for the period ended March 31, 1998 compared to the same period
in 1997, offset by a decline in oil reserves during the three months ended March
31, 1998 as a result of lower commodity prices.
Abandoned property costs of $9,646 incurred during the three months ended March
31, 1998 were related to one well plugged and abandoned during 1998. There were
no abandonment expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $186,030 for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from the same period in 1997. This decrease was due
to a decrease in oil and gas sales receipts, offset by increases in production
costs and abandoned property costs paid.
Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities
Proceeds from disposition of assets of $728 received during the three months
ended March 31, 1998 consisted of $656 of equipment credits on one property
plugged and abandoned during 1998, along with $72 related to the disposal of oil
and gas equipment on active properties.
Proceeds from disposition of assets of $16,684 during the three months ended
March 31, 1997 related to the disposal of oil and gas equipment on active
properties.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash was sufficient for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to cover
distributions to the partners of $146,704 of which $1,467 was distributed to the
managing general partner and $145,237 to the limited partners. For the same
period ended March 31, 1997, cash was sufficient for distributions to the
partners of $292,401 of which $2,924 was distributed to the managing general
partner and $289,477 to the limited partners.
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.
Information systems for the year 2000
The managing general partner will be required to modify its information systems
in order to accurately process Partnership data referencing the year 2000.
Because of the importance of occurrence dates in the oil and gas industry, the
consequences of not pursuing these modifications could be very significant to
the Partnership's ability to manage and report operating activities. Currently,
the managing general partner plans to contract with third parties to perform the
software programming changes necessary to correct any existing deficiencies.
Such programming changes are anticipated to be completed and tested by March 1,
1999. The managing general partner will allocate a portion of the costs of the
year 2000 programming charges to the Partnership when they are incurred, along
with recurring general and administrative expenses. Although the costs are not
estimable at this time, they should not be significant to the Partnership.
