NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 1999
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and nature of operations
Parker & Parsley 87-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1987 under the laws of the State of Texas.
The Partnership engages primarily in oil and gas development and production in
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 June 30, 1999 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
1999 and 1998 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 information and footnote disclosure 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, 1998, 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
Six months ended June 30, 1999 compared with six months ended
June 30, 1998
Revenues:
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 10% to $458,623 from $511,361
for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease in
revenues resulted from lower average prices received and a decrease in
production. For the six months ended June 30, 1999, 23,002 barrels of oil,
11,929 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 51,130 mcf of gas were sold,
7
<PAGE>
or 43,453 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30,
1998, 25,046 barrels of oil, 10,876 barrels of NGLs and 51,388 mcf of gas were
sold, or 44,487 BOEs.
The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $1.08, or 8%, from $14.09
for the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $13.01 for the same period in 1999.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased slightly from $7.46
during the six months ended June 30, 1998 to $7.29 for the same period in 1999.
The average price received per mcf of gas decreased 6% from $1.51 during the six
months ended June 30, 1998 to $1.42 in 1999. 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 six months ended June 30, 1999.
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 $13,728 was received during the six months
ended June 30, 1998 from the sale of oil and gas equipment on one well abandoned
in a prior year. Abandoned property costs of $3,943 were also incurred during
the six months ended June 30, 1998 related to this well.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses decreased to $442,658 for the six months ended June 30,
1999 as compared to $494,200 for the same period in 1998, a decrease of $51,542,
or 10%. This decrease was due to declines in depletion, production costs,
abandoned property costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").
Production costs were $302,253 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 and
$315,652 for the same period in 1998 resulting in a $13,399 decrease, or 4%.
This decrease was primarily due to a decline in production taxes and ad valorem
taxes.
G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A
decreased, in aggregate, 10% from $15,341 for the six months ended June 30, 1998
to $13,759 for the same period in 1999.
Depletion was $126,646 for the six months ended June 30, 1999 compared to
$159,264 for the same period in 1998, a decrease of $32,618, or 20%. This
decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in proved reserves during the
period ended June 30, 1999 as a result of higher commodity prices, a reduction
in oil production of 2,044 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 1999
compared to the same period in 1998 and a reduction in the Partnership's net
depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121") during the
fourth quarter of 1998.

<PAGE>
Three months ended June 30, 1999 compared with three months ended
June 30, 1998
Revenues:
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 13% to $267,074 from $235,929
for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The increase in
revenues resulted from higher average prices received and an increase in
production. For the three months ended June 30, 1999, 11,616 barrels of oil,
6,585 barrels of NGLs and 25,440 mcf of gas were sold, or 22,441 BOEs. For the
three months ended June 30, 1998, 12,145 barrels of oil, 5,147 barrels of NGLs
and 22,520 mcf of gas were sold, or 21,045 BOEs.
The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.26, or 9%, from $13.40
during the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $14.66 for the same period in
1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.06, or 14%,
from $7.70 during the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $8.76 for the same
period in 1999. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 3% from
$1.49 during the three months ended June 30, 1998 to $1.54 for the same period
in 1999.
A gain on disposition of assets of $235 was received during the three months
ended June 30, 1998 from the sale of oil and gas equipment on one well abandoned
in a prior year. Abandoned property costs of $95 were also incurred during the
three months ended June 30, 1998 related to this well.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses decreased to $215,431 for the three months ended June
30, 1999 as compared to $243,339 for the same period in 1998, a decrease of
$27,908, or 11%. This decrease was due to declines in depletion and abandoned
property costs, offset by increases in production costs and G&A.
Production costs were $158,350 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 and
$154,727 for the same period in 1998 resulting in a $3,623 increase. This
increase was due to additional well maintenance costs incurred in an effort to
stimulate well production, offset by a decline in ad valorem taxes.
During this period, G&A increased, in aggregate, 13%, from $7,078 for the three
months ended June 30, 1998 to $8,012 for the same period in 1999.
Depletion was $49,069 for the three months ended June 30, 1999 compared to
$81,439 for the same period in 1998, a decrease of $32,370, or 40%. This
decrease was primarily attributable to an increase in proved reserves during the
period ended June 30, 1999 as a result of higher commodity prices, a reduction
in oil production of 529 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 1999
compared to the same period in 1998 and a reduction in the Partnership's net
depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the
fourth quarter of 1998.

<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $125,609 during the six
months ended June 30, 1999 from the same period ended June 30, 1998. This
decrease was due to a decline in oil and gas sales receipts, offset by a
decrease in production costs, G&A expenses and abandoned property costs paid.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
The Partnership's investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 1999
and 1998 were related to the addition of oil and gas equipment on active
properties.
Proceeds from asset dispositions of $13,728 were received during the six months
ended June 30, 1998 from the sale of oil and gas equipment on one well abandoned
in a prior year.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash was sufficient for the six months ended June 30, 1999 to cover
distributions to the partners of $83,871 of which $839 was distributed to the
managing general partner and $83,032 to the limited partners. For the same
period ended June 30, 1998, cash was sufficient for distributions to the
partners of $252,506 of which $2,525 was distributed to the managing general
partner and $249,981 to the limited partners.
From the third quarter of 1997 through the first quarter of 1999, there was a
declining trend in oil and gas levels. During the first quarter of 1999, the
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries and certain other crude oil
exporting nations announced reductions in their planned export volumes. These
announcements, together with early indications that the nations have initiated
their planned reductions, have had some stabilizing effect on commodity prices
during the latter part of the first quarter of 1999 and into August 1999.
However, no assurances can be given that the stabilizing effect of these
actions, or the planned reductions in export volumes, will be sustained for an
extended period of time.
Year 2000 Project Readiness
Historically, many computer programs have been developed that use only the last
two digits in a date to refer to a year. As the year 2000 nears, the inability
of such computer programs and embedded technologies to distinguish between
"1900" and "2000" has given rise to the "Year 2000" problem. Theoretically, such
computer programs and related technology could fail outright, or communicate
inaccurate data, if not remediated or replaced. With the proliferation of
electronic data interchange, the Year 2000 problem represents a significant
exposure to the entire global community, the full extent of which cannot be
accurately assessed.
10
<PAGE>
In proactive response to the Year 2000 problem, the managing general partner
established a "Year 2000" project to assess, to the extent possible, the
Partnership's and the managing general partner's internal Year 2000 problem; to
take remedial actions necessary to minimize the Year 2000 risk exposure to the
managing general partner and significant third parties with whom it has data
interchange; and, to test its systems and processes once remedial actions have
been taken. The managing general partner has contracted with IBM Global Services
to perform the assessment and remedial phases of its Year 2000 project.
As of June 30, 1999, the managing general partner estimates that the assessment
phase is approximately 99% complete and has included, but is not limited to, the
following procedures:
o the identification of necessary remediation, upgrade and/or replacement
of existing information technology applications and systems;
o the assessment of non-information technology exposures, such as
telecommunications systems, security systems, elevators and process
control equipment;
o the initiation of inquiry and dialogue with significant third party
business partners, customers and suppliers in an effort to understand and
assess their Year 2000 problems, readiness and potential impact on the
managing general partner and its Year 2000 problem;
o the implementation of processes designed to reduce the risk of
reintroduction of Year 2000 problems into the managing general partner's
systems and business processes; and,
o the formulation of contingency plans for mission-critical information
technology systems.
Through June 30, 1999, the managing general partner had distributed Year 2000
problem inquiries to over 500 entities and has received responses to
approximately 52% of the inquiries.
The remedial phase of the managing general partner's Year 2000 project is in
varying stages of completion as it pertains to the remediation of information
technology and non-information technology applications and systems in the United
States, Canada and Argentina. As of June 30, 1999, the managing general partner
estimates that the remedial phase is approximately 83% complete, on a worldwide
basis, subject to continuing evaluations of the responses to third party
inquiries and to the testing phase results. The remedial phase has included the
upgrade and/or replacement of certain application and hardware systems. The
managing general partner has upgraded its Artesia general ledger accounting
systems through remedial coding and has completed the testing of the system for
Year 2000 compliance. The remediation of non-information technology is expected
to be completed by October 1999. The managing general partner's Year 2000
remedial actions have not delayed other information technology projects or
upgrades.
The testing phase of the managing general partner's Year 2000 project is on
schedule. The managing general partner expects to complete the testing of
11
<PAGE>
information technology systems by October 1999. The testing of the
non-information technology remediation is scheduled to be completed by the end
of November 1999.
The managing general partner expects that its total costs related to the Year
2000 problem will approximate $3.6 million, of which approximately $500 thousand
will have been incurred to replace non-compliant information technology systems.
As of June 30, 1999, the managing general partner's total costs incurred on the
Year 2000 problem were $2.3 million, of which approximately $200 thousand were
incurred to replace non-compliant systems.
The risks associated with the Year 2000 problem are significant. A failure to
remedy a critical Year 2000 problem could have a materially adverse affect on
the Partnership's results of operations and financial condition. The most likely
worst case scenario which may be encountered as a result of a Year 2000 problem
could include information and non-information system failures, the receipt or
transmission of erroneous data, lost data or a combination of similar problems
of a magnitude that cannot be accurately assessed at this time.
In the business continuity and contingency planning phase of the managing
general partner's Year 2000 project, contingency plans were designed to mitigate
the exposures to mission critical information technology systems, such as oil
and gas sales receipts, vendor and royalty cash distributions, debt compliance,
accounting, and employee compensation. Such contingency plans anticipate the
extensive utilization of third-party data processing services, personal computer
applications and the substitution of courier and mail services in place of
electronic data interchange. Given the uncertainties regarding the scope of the
Year 2000 problem and the compliance of significant third parties, there can be
no assurance that contingency plans will have anticipated all Year 2000
scenarios.
