NOTE 1.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements as of September
30, 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 nine months ended
September  30, 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 LP.,
which  survived  the  merger  with a change of name to PPDLP.  The sole  general
partner of PPDLP is Parker & Parsley Petroleum USA, Inc. PPDLP has the power and
authority to manage,  control and administer all Registrant affairs. The limited
partners  contributed   $6,095,000   representing  12,191  interests  ($500  per
interest) sold to a total of 573 limited partners.

Since its formation, the Registrant invested $5,252,639 in various producing oil
and gas prospects  purchased in Texas. At September 30, 1995, the Registrant had
completed seven purchases of producing  properties.  These acquisitions involved
the purchase of working interests in 54 properties. Seventeen 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 three 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

                                    6

resulted in two additional overriding royalty interests to the Registrant.  All
the properties are operated by the managing general partner.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared with nine months ended
   September 30, 1994

REVENUES:

The  Registrant's  oil and gas revenues  increased to $674,015 from $657,251 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively,  an increase of
3%. The increase in revenues was  primarily  attributable  to an increase in the
average price  received per barrel of oil,  offset by a 5% decline in mcf of gas
produced  and sold,  a slight  decline in barrels of oil produced and sold and a
decrease in the average price received per mcf of gas. For the nine months ended
September 30, 1995,  31,468  barrels of oil were sold compared to 31,920 for the
same  period in 1994,  a decrease  of 452  barrels.  For the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1995,  81,172 mcf of gas were sold compared to 85,787 for the same
period in 1994, a decrease of 4,615 mcf. The  decreases  were 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 to
continue in the future until the Registrant's  economically recoverable reserves
are fully depleted.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased 9% from $15.73 for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1994 to $17.19 for the same period in 1995. The
average  price  received per mcf of gas  decreased 9% from $1.81 during the nine
months ended  September 30, 1994 to $1.64 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 nine months ended September
30, 1995.

COSTS AND EXPENSES:

Total  costs and  expenses  decreased  to  $523,111  for the nine  months  ended
September  30,  1995 as compared  to  $588,420  for the same  period in 1994,  a
decrease of $65,309,  or 11%.  This  decrease was due to declines in  production
costs and depletion,  offset by increases in abandoned  property costs,  loss on
abandoned properties and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production  costs were $375,187 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
$435,897 for the same period in 1994,  resulting in a $60,710 decrease,  or 14%.
The decrease was the result of a reduction in well repair and maintenance costs.

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,  3% from $19,718 for the nine months ended
September  30,  1994 to $20,220  for the same  period in 1995.  The  Partnership
agreement limits G&A to 3% of gross oil and gas income.

Salvage income of $569 and $14,421 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1995
and 1994,  respectively,  was derived from equipment credits received on several
wells that were  plugged  and  abandoned  in prior  years.  A loss on  abandoned
property of $4,779 was  recognized  during the nine months ended  September  30,
1995.  This loss was the result of $1,155 in proceeds  received  from  equipment
salvage on two  abandoned  wells,  less the  write-off of remaining  capitalized
costs of  $5,934.  For the same  period in 1994,  a gain of $674  resulted  from
proceeds  received  from  equipment  salvage  on one  fully  depleted  abandoned
property. Expenses of $9,073 were incurred during 1995 to plug and abandon three
uneconomical wells, compared to $5,324 for the same period in 1994.

Depletion was $113,852 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1995 compared to
$128,155 for the same period in 1994.  This  represented a decrease in depletion
of $14,303,  or 11%. Depletion was computed quarterly on a  property-by-property
basis utilizing the  unit-of-production  method based upon the dominant  mineral
produced,  generally  oil.  Oil  production  decreased  452 barrels for the nine
months ended September 30, 1995 from the same period in 1994.  Depletion expense
for the nine months ended  September 30, 1995 was  calculated  based on reserves
computed utilizing an oil price of $16.35 per barrel.  Comparatively,  depletion
expense  for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1994 and June 30, 1994 was
calculated  based on  reserves  computed  utilizing  an oil price of $18.25  per
barrel  while  depletion  expense for the three  months ended March 31, 1994 was
calculated  based on  reserves  computed  utilizing  an oil price of $12.75  per
barrel.

Three months ended September 30, 1995 compared with three months ended
  September 30, 1994

REVENUES:

The  Registrant's  oil and gas revenues  decreased to $222,884 from $239,291 for
the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively,  a decrease of
7%. The decrease in revenues  resulted  from a 7% decline in mcf of gas produced
and sold and decreases in the average prices  received per barrel of oil and mcf
of gas. For the three months ended  September  30, 1995,  10,666  barrels of oil
were sold  compared  to 10,685 for the same  period in 1994,  a  decrease  of 19
barrels.  For the three months ended September 30, 1995,  28,730 mcf of gas were
sold compared to 31,006 for the same period in 1994, a decrease of 2,276 mcf.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  decreased 5% from $17.24 for the
three  months  ended  September  30,  1994 to $16.43 for the same period in 1995
while the average  price  received per mcf of gas decreased 7% from $1.78 during
the three months ended September 30, 1994 to $1.66 in 1995.

COSTS AND EXPENSES:

Total costs and  expenses  decreased  to  $179,685  for the three  months  ended
September  30,  1995 as compared  to  $190,477  for the same  period in 1994,  a
decrease of  $10,792,  or 6%. This  decrease  was due to declines in  production
costs, G&A and depletion, offset by an increase in abandoned property costs.

Production costs were $131,272 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and
$140,563 for the same period in 1994, resulting in a $9,291 decrease, or 7%. The
decrease  was the result of a reduction in well repair and  maintenance  expense
and a decline in production taxes, offset by an increase 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 decreased,  in aggregate,  7% from $7,179 for the three months ended
September 30, 1994 to $6,686 for the same period in 1995.

Salvage  income of $7,459 for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1994 was
derived from equipment  credits  received on several wells that were plugged and
abandoned in prior years.  A gain on  abandoned  property of $26 was  recognized
during the three  months  ended  September  30, 1995,  resulting  from  proceeds
received from equipment  salvage on two abandoned wells.  Expenses of $5,947 and
$4,839 were incurred  during the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively, to plug and abandon uneconomical wells.

Depletion was $35,806 for the three months ended  September 30, 1995 compared to
$37,896 for the same period in 1994. This represented a decrease in depletion of
$2,090,  or 6%. Oil  production  decreased 19 barrels for the three months ended
September 30, 1995 from the same period in 1994. Depletion expense for the three
months  ended  September  30, 1995 was  calculated  based on  reserves  computed
utilizing  an oil price of $16.35 per barrel  while  depletion  expense  for the
three months ended September 30, 1994 was calculated based on reserves  computed
utilizing an oil price of $18.25 per barrel.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Net cash provided by operating  activities increased to $369,780 during the nine
months ended September 30, 1995, a $214,241  increase from the same period ended
September 30, 1994,  resulting  from  increased oil and gas sales,  a decline in
production  costs and more timely receipt of oil and gas revenues.  The increase
in oil  and gas  sales  was due to  higher  average  prices  received  for  oil.
Production costs decreased due to less well repair and maintenance costs.

NET CASH USED IN INVESTING ACTIVITIES

The Registrant's investing activities during the nine months ended September 30,
1995 and 1994,  respectively,  included  $24,169 and  $26,283  for  expenditures
related to repair and maintenance activity on various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from salvage income of $5,713 from the sale of oil and gas equipment on
properties  abandoned in prior years were received  during the nine months ended
September 30, 1995, compared to $14,421 received during the same period in 1994.
Proceeds  of $1,155 and $674 were  received  from the  salvage of  equipment  on
several properties abandoned during the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
1994, respectively.

                                    9

NET CASH USED IN FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Cash was  sufficient  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995 to cover
distributions  to the partners of $256,291 of which $253,037 was  distributed to
the limited partners and $3,254 to the managing  general  partner.  For the same
period ended  September 30, 1994, cash was sufficient for  distributions  to the
partners of $207,359 of which $205,610 was  distributed to the limited  partners
and $1,749 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.

ACCOUNTING STANDARD ON IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In March 1995,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 - Accounting for Impairment of Long-lived
Assets and for Long- lived  Assets to Be Disposed Of ("FAS 121")  regarding  the
impairment of long-lived assets,  identifiable  intangibles and goodwill related
to those assets. FAS 121 is effective for financial  statements for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995, although earlier adoption is encouraged.  The
application of FAS 121 to oil and gas companies utilizing the successful efforts
method (such as the Registrant) will require  periodic  determination of whether
the book value of long-lived  assets  exceeds the future cash flows  expected to
result from the use of such assets and,  if so, will  require  reduction  of the
carrying amount of the "impaired"  assets to their estimated fair values.  There
is currently a great deal of uncertainty as to how FAS 121 will apply to oil and
gas  companies  using  the  successful  efforts  method,  including  uncertainty
regarding  the  determination  of expected  future cash flows from the  relevant
assets and, if an impairment is determined to exist, their estimated fair value.
There  is also  uncertainty  regarding  the  level at  which  the test  might be
applied. Given this uncertainty,  the Registrant is currently unable to estimate
the effect that FAS 121 will have on the Registrant's  results of operations for
the period in which it is adopted.
