(A Texas Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1998
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and nature of operations
Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership organized in 1987 under the laws of the State of Texas.
The Partnership engages primarily in oil and gas 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. Certain reclassifications
have been made to the March 31, 1997 financial statements to conform to the
March 31, 1998 financial statement presentations.
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 38% to $221,573 from $357,769
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The decrease
in revenues resulted from declines in production and lower average prices
received. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, 12,524 barrels of oil,
3,259 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 14,514 mcf of gas were sold,
or 18,202 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March
31, 1997, 13,976 barrels of oil and 26,683 mcf of gas were sold, or 18,423 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
7
<PAGE>
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).
The decreases in production volumes were primarily 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 decreased $6.44, or 30%, from
$21.12 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $14.68 for the same period
in 1998. The average price received per barrel of NGLs during the three months
ended March 31, 1998 was $6.04. The average price received per mcf of gas
decreased 47% from $2.34 during the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $1.24
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.
Gain on disposition of assets of $35,489 and $11,008 was recognized during the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. The gain of $35,489
was comprised of $31,549 resulting from equipment credits received on one well
plugged and abandoned in 1998, in addition to $3,940 from equipment credits on
wells abandoned in a prior year. The gain of $11,008 resulted from $14,394 on
equipment disposals for properties abandoned in prior years, offset by a $3,386
loss on the abandonment of one well in 1997.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses decreased to $277,857 for the three months ended March
31, 1998 as compared to $281,755 for the same period in 1997, a decrease of
$3,898. This decrease was the result of declines in production costs, general
and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion, offset by an increase in
abandoned property costs.
Production costs were $183,736 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and
$227,562 for the same period in 1997, resulting in a $43,826 decrease, or 19%.
This decrease was primarily attributable to declines in well maintenance costs
and production taxes.
8
<PAGE>
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, 37% from $10,628 for the three months ended March 31,
1997 to $6,647 for the same period in 1998.
Depletion was $40,483 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 compared to
$40,599 for the same period in 1997, a decrease of $117. 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 1,452 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.
Abandonment expenses of $46,991 and $2,966 were incurred on one well abandoned
during each period for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $202,540 during the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from the same period in 1997. The decrease was the
result of a decline in oil and gas sales receipts and increases in abandoned
property costs and production costs paid.
Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities
The Partnership's principle investing activities during the three months ended
March 31, 1998 were related to expenditures for oil and gas equipment on active
properties.
Proceeds from disposition of assets of $35,489 and $15,617 received during the
three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively, were primarily from
equipment credits received on one well plugged and abandoned during 1998 and
from equipment credits received on wells plugged and abandoned in a prior year.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash was sufficient for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to cover
distributions to the partners of $99,261 of which $993 was distributed to the
managing general partner and $98,268 to the limited partners. For the same
period ended March 31, 1997, cash was sufficient for distributions to the
partners of $240,556 of which $2,406 was distributed to the managing general
partner and $238,150 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.

<PAGE>
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.
