                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.

Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-B, Ltd. (the "Registrant") is a limited
partnership organized in 1987 under the laws of the State of Texas.

The Registrant  engages  primarily in oil and gas production in Texas and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas.

NOTE 2.

In the opinion of management, the Registrant's unaudited financial statements as
of June 30, 1996 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  Registrant's  Report on Form
10-K for the year ended  December 31,  1995,  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 (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 1996 compared with six months ended June 30, 1995

Revenues:

The  Registrant's  oil and gas revenues  decreased to $448,800 from $451,131 for
the six months  ended June 30,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  The  decrease  in
revenues was the result of a 17% decline in barrels of oil produced and sold and

                                        6

and a 13%  decline in mcf of gas  produced  and sold,  offset by higher  average
prices  received per barrel of oil and mcf of gas. For the six months ended June
30, 1996, 17,243 barrels of oil were sold compared to 20,802 for the same period
in 1995,  a decrease of 3,559  barrels.  For the six months ended June 30, 1996,
45,843 mcf of gas were sold  compared to 52,442 for the same  period in 1995,  a
decrease of 6,599 mcf.  The  decreases  in  production  volumes  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  $2.87,  or 16%,  from
$17.58 for the six months  ended June 30,  1995 to $20.45 for the same period in
1996.  The average price  received per mcf of gas increased 29% to $2.10 for the
six months  ended June 30,  1996  compared to $1.63 for the same period 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 six
months ended June 30, 1996.

Salvage income  received from  equipment  disposals of $987 and $569 for the six
months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  respectively,  was derived from  equipment
credits received on wells that were plugged and abandoned in prior years.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $331,396 for the six months ended June 30,
1996 as compared to $343,426 for the same period in 1995, a decrease of $12,030,
or 4%.  This  decrease  was due to  reductions  in  general  and  administrative
expenses ("G&A"), depletion,  abandoned property costs and loss on abandonments,
offset by an increase in production costs.

Production  costs  were  $257,209  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1996 and
$243,915 for the same period in 1995,  resulting in a $13,294  increase,  or 5%.
The  increase was  primarily  attributable  to an increase in workover  expenses
incurred in an effort to  stimulate  well  production,  offset by 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 decreased, in aggregate,  from $13,534 for the six months ended June
30, 1995 to $13,464 for the same period in 1996.

During the six months ended June 30, 1996,  a loss on  abandoned  properties  of
$2,579 was attributable to the write-off of remaining  capitalized well costs on
the  abandonment of one saltwater  disposal well. For the same period in 1995, a
loss of $4,805 resulted from the write-off of remaining  capitalized  well costs
of $5,934  on two oil and gas  wells,  less  $1,129 in  proceeds  received  from
equipment salvage.  Expenses of $1,376 were incurred during the six months ended
June 30, 1996 to plug and  abandon one  uneconomical  saltwater  disposal  well,
compared  to  $3,126  to plug and  abandon  three oil and gas wells for the same
period in 1995.

Depletion was $56,768 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $78,046
for the same period in 1995. This represented a decline in depletion of $21,278,
or 27%, primarily attributable to the adoption of the provisions of Statement of
Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  of
Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived  Assets to be  Disposed  Of" ("FAS  121")
effective the fourth quarter of 1995 and the reduction of net  depletable  basis
resulting  from the charge  taken upon such  adoption.  Depletion  was  computed
property-by-property  utilizing  the  unit-of-production  method  based upon the
dominant mineral produced,  generally oil, and using oil prices in effect at the
end of the respective  quarter.  Oil production  decreased 3,559 barrels for the
six months ended June 30, 1996 from the same period in 1995,  while oil reserves
were revised upward by 83,282 barrels, or 19%.

Three months ended June 30, 1996 compared with three months ended June 30, 1995

Revenues:

The  Registrant's  oil and gas revenues  increased to $229,700 from $213,847 for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  an increase of 7%.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received per barrel
of oil and mcf of gas,  offset by an 11% decrease in barrels of oil produced and
sold and a 26% decrease in mcf of gas  produced  and sold.  For the three months
ended June 30, 1996,  8,562  barrels of oil were sold  compared to 9,614 for the
same period in 1995,  a decrease of 1,052  barrels.  For the three  months ended
June 30,  1996,  19,757  mcf of gas were sold  compared  to 26,715  for the same
period in 1995, a decrease of 6,958 mcf. The  decreases  in  production  volumes
were  due  to the  decline  characteristics  of the  Registrant's  oil  and  gas
properties.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased  $3.79,  or 21%,  from
$18.09 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $21.88 for the same period in
1996 while the average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 44% from $1.49
during the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $2.15 in 1996.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  decreased to $145,521 for the three months ended June
30,  1996 as compared  to  $161,465  for the same period in 1995,  a decrease of
$15,944,  or  10%.  This  decrease  was due to  declines  in  production  costs,
depletion  and  gain on  abandoned  property,  offset  by  increases  in G&A and
abandoned property costs.

Production  costs were  $108,515  for the three  months  ended June 30, 1996 and
$119,097 for the same period in 1995,  resulting in a $10,582  decrease,  or 9%.
The decrease was the result of reductions 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,  8% from $6,416 for the three months ended
June 30, 1995 to $6,912 for the same period in 1996.

Depletion  was $26,139  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1996  compared to
$36,210 for the same period in 1995. This represented a decrease in depletion of
$10,071,  or 28%,  primarily  attributable to the adoption of FAS 121 the fourth
quarter of 1995, as discussed previously. Oil production decreased 1,052 barrels
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from the same period in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating  activities decreased during the six months ended
June 30, 1996  $111,134  from the same  period in 1995.  This  decrease  was the
result of additional production costs paid and a decline in oil and gas sales.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Registrant's  investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995 were  primarily for  expenditures  related to equipment  replacement on
various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from salvage income of $2,092 and $5,713, from the  sale of oil and gas
equipment on properties  abandoned  in prior years, were received during the six


                                        9

<PAGE>



months  ended June 30,  1996 and 1995,  respectively.  Proceeds  of $1,129  were
received from the salvage of equipment on several  properties  abandoned  during
the six months ended June 30, 1995.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash  was   sufficient  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1996  to  cover
distributions  to the partners of $193,796 of which $191,900 was  distributed to
the limited partners and $1,896 to the managing  general  partner.  For the same
period  ended  June 30,  1995,  cash was  sufficient  for  distributions  to the
partners of $148,421 of which $146,295 was  distributed to the limited  partners
and $2,126 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.
