                          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 unaudited financial statements as of March 31,
1996 of 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,  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)

The  Registrant  was formed  December  28,  1987.  On January 1, 1995,  Parker &
Parsley Development L.P. ("PPDLP"), a Texas limited partnership, became the sole
managing general partner of the Registrant, by acquiring the rights and assuming
the obligations of Parker & Parsley Development Company ("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


                                        6

and  administer  all  Registrant  affairs.   The  limited  partners  contributed
$6,095,500  representing 12,191 interests ($500 per interest) sold to a total of
573 limited partners.

Since its formation, the Registrant has invested $5,265,063 in various producing
oil and gas prospects  purchased in Texas. At March 31, 1996, 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 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  decreased to $219,100 from $237,284 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively,  a decrease of 8%.
The  decrease  resulted  from a 22% decline in barrels of oil produced and sold,
offset by a slight increase in mcf of gas produced and sold and increases in the
average  prices  received per barrel of oil and mcf of gas. For the three months
ended March 31, 1996,  8,682 barrels of oil were sold compared to 11,188 for the
same period in 1995,  a decrease of 2,506  barrels.  For the three  months ended
March 31,  1996,  26,086  mcf of gas were sold  compared  to 25,727 for the same
period in 1995,  an increase of 359 mcf. The decrease in barrels of oil produced
and sold was primarily due to the decline  characteristics  of the  Registrant's
oil and gas  properties.  The  increase in mcf of gas  produced and sold was the
result of  operational  changes on several wells.  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  $1.90,  or 11%,  from
$17.14 for the three  months  ended March 31, 1995 to $19.04 for the same period
in 1996.  The average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased  16% from $1.77
during the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $2.06 in 1996.  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, 1996.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses  increased to $185,875 for the three months ended March
31, 1996 as compared  to  $181,961  for the same period in 1995,  an increase of
$3,914,  or 2%. This increase was the result of an increase in production costs,
offset by declines in general and  administrative  expenses ("G&A"),  depletion,
abandoned property costs and loss on abandoned properties.

Production  costs were  $148,694  for the three  months ended March 31, 1996 and
$124,818 for the same period in 1995  resulting in a $23,876  increase,  or 19%.
The increase  was  primarily  attributable  to workover  expense  incurred in an
effort  to  stimulate  production,  offset  by a  decrease  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,  8% from $7,118 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 to $6,552 for the same period in 1996.

Salvage  income  received from  equipment  disposals of $948 and $569 during the
three  months  ended March 31,  1996 and 1995,  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 write-off of
remaining  capitalized costs of $5,934.  There were no abandonments for the same
period in 1996.  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 1996.

Depletion  was $30,629  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996  compared to
$41,836 for the same period in 1995. This represented a decrease in depletion of
$11,207,  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"
effective for 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. Oil production decreased 2,506 barrels

for the three  months  ended March 31, 1996 from the same period in 1995,  while
oil reserves of barrels were revised upward by 83,282 barrels, or 19%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating  activities decreased to $25,177 during the three
months ended March 31, 1996, a $97,232 decrease from the same period ended March
31, 1995.  This decrease was primarily the result of an increase in expenditures
for  production  costs,  offset by a decrease in oil and gas sales  receipts and
abandoned property costs. The increase in production cost expenditures  resulted
from workover costs incurred in an effort to stimulate production.  The decrease
in oil and gas sales  receipts  was due to a decline in barrels of oil  produced
and sold.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Registrant's  principal  investing  activities during the three months ended
March  31,  1996 and  1995,  respectively,  included  $10,781  and  $24,033  for
expenditures  related to repair and maintenance  activity on various oil and gas
properties.

Proceeds  from salvage  income of $1,102 were  received  during the three months
ended March 31, 1996 from the disposal of oil and gas  equipment  on  properties
abandoned in prior years.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash  was  sufficient  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1996 to  cover
distributions  to the partners of $104,399 of which $103,623 was  distributed to
the limited  partners and $776 to the  managing  general  partner.  For the same
period  ended March 31,  1995,  cash was  sufficient  for  distributions  to the
partners of $55,834 of which $54,861 was distributed to the limited partners and
$973 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.
