                    NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           March 31, 1995
                             (Unaudited)


NOTE 1.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements as of
March 31, 1995 of Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-B, Ltd. (the
"Registrant") 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, the
results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year ending December
31, 1995.

The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Registrant's
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994, 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

The Registrant was formed December 28, 1987.  The managing general
partner of the Registrant at December 31, 1994 was Parker & Parsley
Development Company ("PPDC"), which was merged into Parker & Parsley
Development, L.P. ("PPDLP") on January 1, 1995.  On January 1, 1995,
PPDLP, a Texas limited partnership, became the sole managing general
partner of the Registrant, by acquiring the rights and assuming the
obligations of PPDC.  PPDLP acquired PPDC's rights and obligations as
managing general partner of the Registrant in connection with the
merger of PPDC, P&P Producing, Inc. and Spraberry Development
Corporation into MidPar L.P., which survived the merger with a change of
name to PPDLP.  PPDLP has the power and authority to manage, control and
administer all Program and Registrant affairs.  The limited partners
contributed $6,095,500 representing 12,191 interests ($500 per interest)
sold to a total of 573 limited partners.



                                 6
<PAGE>   7
Since its formation, the Registrant has invested $5,253,094 in various
producing oil and gas prospects purchased in Texas.  At March 31, 1995,
the Registrant had completed seven purchases of producing properties. 
These acquisitions involved the purchase of working interests in 54
properties.  Sixteen uneconomical wells have been abandoned; one well in
1989, two wells in 1991, two wells in 1992, six wells in 1993, three
wells in 1994 and two wells in 1995.  The Registrant also participated
in the drilling of two oil and gas wells during 1988 which were
completed as producers. Additionally, the  Registrant  purchased 15 
overriding royalty interests effective January 1, 1990.  Since January
1, 1991, two development wells have been drilled which resulted in two
additional overriding royalty interests to the Registrant.  All the
properties are operated by the managing general partner.

Results of Operations

Revenues:

The Registrant's oil and gas revenues increased to $237,284 from
$194,010 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, an increase of 22%.  The increase resulted from a 5%
increase in barrels of oil produced and sold and an increase in the
average price received per barrel of oil, offset by a 6% decline in mcf
of gas produced and sold and a decrease in the average price received
per mcf of gas.  For the three months ended March 31, 1995, 11,188
barrels of oil were sold compared to 10,676 for the same period in 1994,
an increase of 512 barrels.  For the three months ended March 31, 1995,
25,727 mcf were sold compared to 27,387 for the same period in 1994, a
decrease of 1,660 mcf.  These decreases were primarily due to the
decline characteristics of the Registrant's oil and gas properties. 
Because of these characteristics, management expects a certain amount of
decline in production in the future until the Registrant's economically
recoverable reserves are fully depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.74 from $13.40
for the three months ended March 31, 1994 to $17.14 for the same period
in 1995.  The average price received per mcf of gas decreased from $1.86
during the three months ended March 31, 1994 to $1.77 in 1995.  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 Registrant 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, 1995.



                                 7

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $181,961 for the three months
ended March 31, 1995 as compared to $202,192 for the same period in
1994, a decrease of $20,231, or 10%.  This decrease was the result of
declines in production costs and depletion, offset by increases in
general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), plug and abandonment
expense and the loss on abandoned properties.

Production costs were $124,818 for the three months ended March 31, 1995
and $147,898 for the same period in 1994 resulting in a $23,080
decrease, or 16%.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a 15%
reduction in well repair and maintenance costs and a decline in ad
valorem taxes.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees,
computer services, postage and managing general partner personnel costs. 
During this period, G&A increased, in aggregate, 22% from $5,820 for the
three months ended March 31, 1994 to $7,118 for the same period in 1995. 

Salvage income received from equipment disposals of $569 and $789 during
the three months ended March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, was
derived from equipment credits received on wells that were plugged and
abandoned in prior years.  A loss on abandoned property of $5,145 was
recognized during the three months ended March 31, 1995.  This loss was
the result of $789 in proceeds received from equipment salvage on two
abandoned wells, less the loss to write-off remaining capitalized costs
of $5,934.  There were no abandonments for the same period in 1994. 
Expenses of $3,044 were incurred to plug and abandon two uneconomical
properties during the three months ended March 31, 1995, compared to an
absence of abandonment activity for the same period in 1994.

Depletion was $41,836 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 compared
to $48,474 for the same period in 1994.  This represented a decrease in
depletion of $6,638, or 14%.  Depletion was computed property-by-property
utilizing the unit-of-production method based upon the dominant
mineral produced, generally oil.  Oil production decreased 512 barrels
for the three months ended March 31, 1995 from the same period in 1994,
while oil reserves of barrels were revised downward by 12,824 barrels,
or 2%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased to $122,409 during
the three months ended March 31, 1995, a $97,239 increase from the same
period ended March 31, 1994.  This increase was primarily the result of
an increase in oil and gas revenues and declines in production costs and
G&A, offset by an increase in abandoned property costs.  The increase in
revenues was due to an increase in barrels of oil produced and sold, in
addition to higher average prices received per barrel of oil.  The
decrease in production costs resulted from less well repair and
maintenance costs.  G&A increased due to additional allocated expenses
by the managing general partner.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Registrant's principal investing activities during the three months
ended March 31, 1995 were for repair and maintenance activity on various
oil and gas properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash was sufficient for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to cover
distributions to the partners of $55,834 of which $54,861 was
distributed to the limited partners and $973 to the managing general
partner.  For the same period ended March 31, 1994, cash was sufficient
for distributions to the partners of $65,675 of which $65,416 was
distributed to the limited partners and $259 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.
