Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

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

The  Partnership  engages  in oil  and gas  development  and  production  in the
Spraberry  Trend area of West Texas and is not involved in any industry  segment
other than oil and gas.

Note 2.     Basis of presentation

In  the  opinion  of  management,  the  unaudited  financial  statements  of the
Partnership as of March 31, 2000 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.  These interim results are
not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications
may have been made to the March 31, 1999 financial  statements to conform to the
March 31, 2000 financial statement presentations.

Certain  information  and footnote  disclosures  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been  condensed  or  omitted  in this Form 10-Q  pursuant  to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The financial statements
should  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial  statements  and the  notes
thereto  contained in the  Partnership's  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1999, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission,  a copy
of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy,  Vice President and
Chief Accounting Officer,  5205 North O'Connor  Boulevard,  1400 Williams Square
West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues  increased 113% to $648,941 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $303,999 for the same period in 1999.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
declines  in  production.  For the three  months  ended March 31,  2000,  16,334
barrels of oil, 8,851 barrels of natural gas liquids  ("NGLs") and 40,626 mcf of
gas were  sold,  or 31,956  barrel of oil  equivalents  ("BOEs").  For the three
months ended March 31, 1999,  16,306  barrels of oil,  8,793 barrels of NGLs and
47,916 mcf of gas were sold, or 33,085 BOEs.

                                        7

The average price  received per barrel of oil increased  $15.37,  or 130%,  from
$11.81 for the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 to $27.18 for the same period
in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $9.50, or 169%,
from  $5.62 for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999 to $15.12 for the same
period in 2000.  The average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 36% from
$1.29  during the three months ended March 31, 1999 to $1.75 for the same period
in 2000.  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 Partnership 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, 2000.

The volatility of commodity prices has had, and continues to have, a significant
impact on the Partnership's revenues and operating cash flow and could result in
additional  decreases to the  carrying  value of the  Partnership's  oil and gas
properties.

A gain on disposition of assets of $5,861 was recognized during the three months
ended March 31, 2000 from the sale of equipment on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses  decreased to $336,920 for the three months ended March
31, 2000 as compared to $345,108  for the same period  ended March 31,  1999,  a
decrease of $8,188,  or 2%.  This  decrease  was due to a decline in  depletion,
offset by increases in production costs and general and administrative  expenses
("G&A").

Production  costs were  $265,708  for the three  months ended March 31, 2000 and
$221,128 for the same period in 1999,  resulting  in an increase of $44,580,  or
20%. The increase was due to increases in production  taxes due to increased oil
and  gas  revenues  and  well  maintenance  costs  incurred  to  stimulate  well
production.

G&A's  components are independent  accounting and engineering  fees and managing
general  partner  personnel  and  operating  costs.   During  this  period,  G&A
increased,  in aggregate,  113% from $9,123 for the three months ended March 31,
1999 to $19,468 for the same period in 2000  primarily  due to increased oil and
gas revenues.

Depletion  was $51,744  for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000  compared to
$114,857  for the same  period in 1999,  a  decrease  of  $63,113,  or 55%.  The
decrease  was the  result of an  increase  in proved  reserves  during the three
months ended March 31, 2000 due to higher commodity prices.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities:

Net cash provided by operating  activities  increased  $299,684 during the three
months  ended  March 31,  2000 from the same period in 1999.  The  increase  was
primarily attributable to an increase of $358,325 in oil and gas sales receipts,
offset by increases in operating  costs paid of $48,825 and in G&A expenses paid
of $9,816.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities:

The Partnership's  principle investing  activities during the three months ended
March 31, 2000 and 1999 were related to the upgrades of oil and gas equipment on
active properties.

Proceeds  from asset  dispositions  of $7,591  received  during the three months
ended  March 31,  2000 were  comprised  of $5,861  received  from the salvage of
equipment on one fully depleted well and $1,730 from equipment salvage on active
properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities:

For the three months ended March 31, 2000,  cash  distributions  to the partners
were $337,058,  of which $3,371 was distributed to the managing  general partner
and $333,687 to the limited partners.  For the same period ended March 31, 1999,
cash  distributions to the partners were $53,135,  of which $531 was distributed
to the managing general partner and $52,604 to the limited partners.

Other Items

Year 2000

During 1998, the managing general partner established a "Year 2000" project that
assessed the Partnership's and the managing general partner's internal Year 2000
problem; took remedial actions necessary to minimize the Year 2000 risk exposure
to the managing  general  partner and third  parties;  and,  tested the managing
general partner's systems and processes once remedial actions were taken.

The  managing  general  partner  has  closely   monitored  its  information  and
non-information   technology  systems  since  the  beginning  of  2000  and  has
identified no significant Year 2000 failures or problems.
