                                   (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  of the
Partnership  as of June 30, 1998 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
1998 and 1997 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.  These  interim  results  are not  necessarily
indicative of results for a full year.

Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosure  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 1998 compared with six months ended
  June 30, 1997

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  decreased 32% to $497,072 from $726,372
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  The decrease in
revenues  resulted from lower average prices received,  offset by an increase in
production.  For the six months  ended  June 30,  1998,  23,912  barrels of oil,
10,780 barrels of natural gas liquids  ("NGLs") and 49,055 mcf of gas were sold,
or 42,868 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs").  For the six months ended June 30,
1997, 24,727 barrels of oil and 87,446 mcf of gas were sold, or 39,301 BOEs.

                                        7

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 to 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 and six months  ended June 30,
1998 is the price received for dry residue gas and the price per mcf for natural
gas for the  three and six  months  ended  June 30,  1997 is a price for wet gas
(i.e., natural gas liquids combined with dry residue gas).

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  decreased  $6.32,  or 31%,  from
$20.33 for the six months  ended June 30,  1997 to $14.01 for the same period in
1998.  The average price received per barrel of NGLs during the six months ended
June 30, 1998 was $7.68. The average price received per mcf of gas decreased 37%
from $2.56 for the six months  ended June 30,  1997 to $1.62 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
six months ended June 30, 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 1998. On July 29, 1998,
the market  price for West Texas  intermediate  crude was $11.58 per  barrel.  A
continuation of the oil price environment  experienced  during the first half 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.

A gain on  disposition  of assets of $5,435 was  received  during the six months
ended June 30, 1998 from the sale of equipment on one well plugged and abandoned
during 1998.  Abandoned  property costs of $20,389 were also incurred during the
six months ended June 30, 1998 to plug and abandon this well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $522,831 for the six months ended June 30,
1998 as  compared  to  $495,407  for the same  period in 1997,  an  increase  of
$27,424,  or 6%. This  increase  was due to increases  in  production  costs and
abandoned  property  costs,  offset by decreases  in  depletion  and general and
administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production  costs  were  $339,770  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1998 and
$311,885 for the same period in 1997,  resulting in a $27,885  increase,  or 9%.
The increase was due to additional well maintenance  costs incurred in an effort
to stimulate  well  production,  offset by decreases in production  taxes and ad
valorem 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,  32%,  from $21,791 for the six months ended June 30,
1997 to $14,912 for the same period in 1998.

Depletion  was  $147,760  for the six months  ended June 30,  1998  compared  to
$161,731 for the same period in 1997.  This  represented a decrease in depletion
of $13,971,  or 9%. 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 815 barrels for the period ended June 30, 1998 compared to the same period in
1997,  offset by a decrease in oil reserves during the six months ended June 30,
1998 as a result of lower commodity prices.

Three months ended June 30, 1998 compared with three months ended
   June 30, 1997

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  decreased 27% to $239,503 from $329,527
for the three months ended June 30, 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 June 30,  1998,  11,839  barrels of oil,
5,487 barrels of NGLs and 24,366 mcf of gas were sold,  or 21,387 BOEs.  For the
three months ended June 30,  1997,  12,263  barrels of oil and 46,843 mcf of gas
were sold, or 20,070 BOEs.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  decreased  $5.35,  or 29%,  from
$18.75 for the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $13.40 for the same period in
1998.  The average  price  received  per barrel of NGLs during the three  months
ended  June 30,  1998 was  $7.64.  The  average  price  received  per mcf of gas
decreased 25% from $2.13 during the three months ended June 30, 1997 to $1.60 in
1998.

A gain on disposition  of assets of $4,779 was received  during the three months
ended June 30, 1998 from the sale of equipment on one well plugged and abandoned
during 1998.  Abandoned  property costs of $10,743 were also incurred during the
three months ended June 30, 1998 to plug and abandon this well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  increased to $269,651 for the three months ended June
30, 1998 as compared  to  $242,921  for the same period in 1997,  an increase of
$26,730,  or 11%.  This  increase was due to increases in  production  costs and
abandoned property costs, offset by decreases in G&A and depletion.

Production  costs were  $172,207  for the three  months  ended June 30, 1998 and
$151,422 for the same period in 1997  resulting in a $20,785  increase,  or 14%.
The increase was due to additional well maintenance  costs incurred in an effort
to stimulate well  production,  offset by decreases in ad valorem and 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

                                        9

<PAGE>



decreased,  in  aggregate,  27% from $9,886 for the three  months ended June 30,
1997 to $7,185 for the same period in 1998.

Depletion  was $79,516  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1998  compared to
$81,613 for the same period in 1997. This represented a decrease in depletion of
$2,097,  or 3%. This decrease was primarily  attributable  to a reduction in the
Partnership's  net depletable  basis from charges taken in accordance  with SFAS
121 during the fourth  quarter of 1997 and a reduction in oil  production of 424
barrels for the three months ended June 30, 1998  compared to the same period in
1997,  offset by a decrease in oil  reserves  during the three months ended June
30, 1998 as a result of lower commodity prices.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  decreased  $268,445  during the six
months  ended  June 30,  1998 from the same  period  ended June 30,  1997.  This
decrease was due to a decline in oil and gas sale receipts,  offset by a decline
in production costs paid.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 1998
were related to the disposal of oil and gas equipment on active properties.

Proceeds from  disposition  of assets of $5,435  received  during the six months
ended June 30, 1998 consisted of equipment  credits on one property  plugged and
abandoned  during 1998.  Proceeds from disposition of assets of $20,075 received
during the six months ended June 30, 1997 was related to the disposal of oil and
gas equipment on active properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash  was   sufficient  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1998  to  cover
distributions to the partners of $213,020 of which $2,130 was distributed to the
managing  general  partner and  $210,890 to the limited  partners.  For the same
period  ended  June 30,  1997,  cash was  sufficient  for  distributions  to the
partners of $492,331 of which $4,923 was  distributed  to the  managing  general
partner and $487,408 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,

                                       10

<PAGE>



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 June
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.
