(A Texas Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1996
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1.
Parker & Parsley 87-A, 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 development and production in
the Spraberry Trend area of West Texas and Colorado 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.
NOTE 3.
On May 25, 1993, a final settlement agreement was negotiated, drafted and
finally executed, ending litigation which had begun on September 5, 1989, when
the Registrant filed suit along with other parties against Dresser Industries,
Inc.; Titan Services, Inc.; BJ-Titan Services Company; BJ- Hughes Holding
Company; Hughes Tool Company; Baker Hughes Production Tools, Inc.; and Baker
Hughes Incorporated alleging that the defendants had intentionally failed to
provide the materials and services ordered and paid for by the Registrant and
other parties in connection with the fracturing and acidizing of 523 wells, and
then fraudulently concealed the shorting practice from Parker & Parsley
Development L.P. ("PPDLP"). The May 25, 1993 settlement agreement called for a
6
<PAGE>
payment of $115 million in cash by the defendants, and Southmark, the
Registrant, and the other plaintiffs indemnified the defendants against the
claims of Jack N. Price. The managing general partner received the funds,
deducted incurred legal expenses, accrued interest, determined the general
partner's portion of the funds and calculated any inter-partnership allocations.
On May 3, 1993, Jack N. Price, the attorney who represented Gary G. "Zeke"
Lancaster in the Federal Court lawsuit, filed suit in State Court in Beaumont
against all of the plaintiff partnerships, including the Registrant and others,
alleging his entitlement to 12% of the settlement proceeds. Price's lawsuit
claim for approximately $13.8 million is predicated on a purported contract
entered into with Southmark Corporation in August 1988 in which he allegedly
binds the Registrant and the other defendants, as well as Southmark. Although
PPDLP believes the lawsuit was without merit and has vigorously defended it,
PPDLP has held in reserve approximately 12.5% of the total settlement (the
"Reserve") pending final resolution of the litigation.
A distribution of $91,000,000 was made to the working interest owners, including
the Registrant, on July 30, 1993. The limited partners received their
distribution of $8,257,794, or $286.62 per limited partnership interest, in
September 1993. The allocation of the lawsuit settlement amount was based on the
original verdict entered on October 26, 1990. The allocation to the working
interest owners in each well (including the Registrant) was based on a ratio of
the relative amount of damages due to overcharges for services and materials
("Materials") and damages for loss of past and future production ("Production"),
each as determined in that initial judgment. Within the Registrant, damages for
Materials were allocated between the partners based on their original sharing
percentages for costs of acquiring and/or drilling of wells. Similarly, damages
related to Production were allocated to the partners in the Registrant based on
their respective share of revenues from the subject wells.
As a condition of the purchase by Parker & Parsley Petroleum Company of Parker &
Parsley Development Company ("PPDC"), which was merged into PPDLP on January 1,
1995, from its former parent in May 1989, PPDC's interest in the lawsuit and
subsequent settlement was retained by the former parent. Consequently, all of
PPDC's share of the settlement related to its separately held interests in the
wells and its partnership interests in the sponsored partnerships (except that
portion allocable to interests acquired by PPDC after May 1989) was paid to the
former parent.
On September 20, 1995, the Beaumont trial judge entered a summary judgment
against Southmark for the $13,790,000 contingent fee sought by Price, together
with prejudgment interest, and also awarded Price an additional $5,498,525 in
7
<PAGE>
attorneys' fees. On January 22, 1996, the trial judge entered an interlocutory
summary judgment against Dresser Industries and Baker Hughes for an amount yet
to be determined. Pursuant to their indemnity obligations, the Registrant,
Southmark, PPDLP and other original plaintiffs have vigorously protected the
rights of both Dresser and Baker Hughes. Southmark has vigorously pursued its
appeal of the judgment, and has posted a supersedeas bond using the Reserve as
collateral. On April 29, 1996, all of the parties, including the Registrant and
Southmark, entered into a $7.4 million settlement with Price which fully and
finally resolves all of the litigation and disputes between the parties,
including the Registrant's indemnity obligations to Dresser and Baker Hughes.
Pursuant to the settlement agreement, all of the pending lawsuits and judgments
will be dismissed, the supersedeas bond released, and the Reserve released as
collateral. It is expected that before the end of the third quarter, the
necessary dismissals and releases will be effected, the managing general partner
will conduct an accounting of income and expenses among the parties, and a final
distribution will be made to the working interest owners, including the
Registrant and its partners.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS(1)
The Registrant was formed August 15, 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
and administer all Registrant affairs. The limited partners contributed
$28,811,000 representing 28,811 interests ($1,000 per interest) sold to a total
of 2,264 limited partners.
Since its formation, the Registrant invested $23,682,577 in various prospects
that were drilled in Texas and Colorado. Two wells were completed as dry holes.
Three wells have been plugged and abandoned due to uneconomical operations; one
during 1995 and two during 1996. In addition, six wells were sold during 1995.
At March 31, 1996, the Registrant had 85 producing oil and gas wells.

<PAGE>
Results of Operations
Revenues:
The Registrant's oil and gas revenues increased to $601,403 from $599,303 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of
$2,100. The increase in revenues resulted from a 6% increase in mcf of gas
produced and sold and increases in the average prices received per barrel of oil
and mcf of gas, offset by a 16% decline in barrels of oil produced and sold. For
the three months ended March 31, 1996, 22,221 barrels of oil were sold compared
to 26,331 for the same period in 1995, a decrease of 4,110 barrels. For the
three months ended March 31, 1996, 86,075 mcf of gas were sold compared to
81,588 for the same period in 1995, an increase of 4,487 mcf, resulting from
operational changes on several wells. The decrease in oil production was due to
the decline characteristics of the Registrant's oil and gas properties.
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 $1.80, or 11%, from
$17.12 for the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $18.92 for the same period
in 1996 while the average price received per mcf of gas increased 15%, from
$1.82 during the three months ended March 31, 1995 to $2.10 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.
Salvage income of $46,760 received during the three months ended March 31, 1996
was derived from equipment credits received on one well abandoned in a prior
year and on two fully depleted wells.
A gain of $6,007 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 1996,
resulting from the disposal of oil and gas equipment on the abandonment of one
fully depleted well.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses decreased to $490,180 for the three months ended March
31, 1996 as compared to $633,485 for the same period ended March 31, 1995, a
decrease of $143,305, or 23%. This decrease was due to declines in production
costs and depletion, offset by increases in general and administrative expenses
("G&A") and abandoned property costs.
9
<PAGE>
Production costs were $318,369 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
$332,724 for the same period in 1995 resulting in a decrease of $14,355, or 4%.
The decrease was principally due to declines in ad valorem taxes and well repair
and maintenance costs, offset by an increase in production taxes due to the
increase in oil and gas revenues.
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, from $17,979 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 to $18,042 for the same period in 1996. The Partnership agreement
limits G&A to 3% of gross oil and gas revenues.
Depletion was $132,205 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to
$282,782 for the same period in 1995. This represented a decrease in depletion
of $150,577, or 53%, 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 4,110 barrels
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from the same period in 1995, while
oil reserves of barrels were revised upward by 42,523 barrels, or 4%.
On May 25, 1993, a final settlement agreement was negotiated, drafted and
finally executed, ending litigation which had begun on September 5, 1989, when
the Registrant filed suit along with other parties against Dresser Industries,
Inc.; Titan Services, Inc.; BJ-Titan Services Company; BJ- Hughes Holding
Company; Hughes Tool Company; Baker Hughes Production Tools, Inc.; and Baker
Hughes Incorporated alleging that the defendants had intentionally failed to
provide the materials and services ordered and paid for by the Registrant and
other parties in connection with the fracturing and acidizing of 523 wells, and
then fraudulently concealed the shorting practice from PPDLP. The May 25, 1993
settlement agreement called for a payment of $115 million in cash by the
defendants, and Southmark, the Registrant, and the other plaintiffs indemnified
the defendants against the claims of Jack N. Price. The managing general partner
received the funds, deducted incurred legal expenses, accrued interest,
determined the general partner's portion of the funds and calculated any
inter-partnership allocations.
On May 3, 1993, Jack N. Price, the attorney who represented Gary G. "Zeke"
Lancaster in the Federal Court lawsuit, filed suit in State Court in Beaumont
against all of the plaintiff partnerships, including the Registrant and others,
alleging his entitlement to 12% of the settlement proceeds. Price's lawsuit
10
<PAGE>
claim for approximately $13.8 million is predicated on a purported contract
entered into with Southmark Corporation in August 1988 in which he allegedly
binds the Registrant and the other defendants, as well as Southmark. Although
PPDLP believes the lawsuit was without merit and has vigorously defended it,
PPDLP has held in reserve approximately 12.5% of the total settlement (the
"Reserve") pending final resolution of the litigation.
A distribution of $91,000,000 was made to the working interest owners, including
the Registrant, on July 30, 1993. The limited partners received their
distribution of $8,257,794, or $286.62 per limited partnership interest, in
September 1993. The allocation of the lawsuit settlement amount was based on the
original verdict entered on October 26, 1990. The allocation to the working
interest owners in each well (including the Registrant) was based on a ratio of
the relative amount of damages due to overcharges for services and materials
("Materials") and damages for loss of past and future production ("Production"),
each as determined in that initial judgment. Within the Registrant, damages for
Materials were allocated between the partners based on their original sharing
percentages for costs of acquiring and/or drilling of wells. Similarly, damages
related to Production were allocated to the partners in the Registrant based on
their respective share of revenues from the subject wells.
As a condition of the purchase by Parker & Parsley Petroleum Company of PPDC,
which was merged into PPDLP on January 1, 1995, from its former parent in May
1989, PPDC's interest in the lawsuit and subsequent settlement was retained by
the former parent. Consequently, all of PPDC's share of the settlement related
to its separately held interests in the wells and its partnership interests in
the sponsored partnerships (except that portion allocable to interests acquired
by PPDC after May 1989) was paid to the former parent.
On September 20, 1995, the Beaumont trial judge entered a summary judgment
against Southmark for the $13,790,000 contingent fee sought by Price, together
with prejudgment interest, and also awarded Price an additional $5,498,525 in
attorneys' fees. On January 22, 1996, the trial judge entered an interlocutory
summary judgment against Dresser Industries and Baker Hughes for an amount yet
to be determined. Pursuant to their indemnity obligations, the Registrant,
Southmark, PPDLP and other original plaintiffs have vigorously protected the
rights of both Dresser and Baker Hughes. Southmark has vigorously pursued its
appeal of the judgment, and has posted a supersedeas bond using the Reserve as
collateral. On April 29, 1996, all of the parties, including the Registrant and
Southmark, entered into a $7.4 million settlement with Price which fully and
finally resolves all of the litigation and disputes between the parties,
including the Registrant's indemnity obligations to Dresser and Baker Hughes.

Pursuant to the settlement agreement, all of the pending lawsuits and judgments
will be dismissed, the supersedeas bond released, and the Reserve released as
collateral. It is expected that before the end of the third quarter, the
necessary dismissals and releases will be effected, the managing general partner
will conduct an accounting of income and expenses among the parties, and a final
distribution will be made to the working interest owners, including the
Registrant and its partners.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities:
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $255,773 during the three
months ended March 31, 1996, a 13% decrease from the same period ended March 31,
1995. This decrease resulted from a decline in oil and gas sales receipts and
increases in expenditures for abandoned property costs, offset by a decline in
expenditures for production costs. The decline in oil and gas sales receipts was
primarily due to decreased oil production. Abandoned property cost expenditures
increased due to an absence of abandonment activity during the three months
ended March 31, 1995. The decline in production cost expenditures was the result
of less well repair and maintenance.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities:
The Registrant's investing activities during the three months ended March 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively, included $24,640 and $11,062 in expenditures
related to repair and maintenance activity on various oil and gas properties.
Proceeds from salvage income of $46,760 from the sale of oil and gas equipment
on properties fully depleted or abandoned in prior years were received during
the three months ended March 31, 1996.
One fully depleted property was abandoned during the three months ended March
31, 1996, resulting in the receipt of $6,007 in proceeds from the disposal of
oil and gas equipment.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities:
Cash was sufficient for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to cover
distributions to the partners of $261,132 of which $258,423 was distributed to
the limited partners and $2,709 to the managing general partner. For the same
period ended March 31, 1995, cash was sufficient for distributions to the
12
<PAGE>
partners of $274,202 of which $271,460 was distributed to the limited partners
and $2,742 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.
