(A Texas Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 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 March 31, 1999 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
Revenues:
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 30% to $191,549 from $275,432
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, respectively. The decrease
in revenues resulted from lower average prices received and declines in
production. For the three months ended March 31, 1999, 11,386 barrels of oil,
5,344 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 25,690 mcf of gas were sold,
or 21,012 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March
31, 1998, 12,901 barrels of oil, 5,729 barrels of NGLs and 28,868 mcf of gas
were sold, or 23,441 BOEs.
The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $3.40, or 23%, from
$14.73 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $11.33 for the same period
in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased $1.76, or 24%,
7
<PAGE>
from $7.24 for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $5.48 for the same
period in 1999. The average price received per mcf of gas decreased 14% from
$1.52 during the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $1.30 for the same period
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
three months ended March 31, 1999.
A continuation of the oil price environment experienced during the first quarter
of 1999 will have an adverse effect 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 $13,493 was recognized during the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from the sale of oil and gas equipment on one well
abandoned in a prior year. Abandoned property costs of $3,848 were incurred
during the three months ended March 31, 1998.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses decreased to $227,227 for the three months ended March
31, 1999 as compared to $250,861 for the same period in 1998, a decrease of
$23,634, or 9%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs, abandoned
property costs, general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion.
Production costs were $143,903 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and
$160,925 for the same period in 1998, resulting in a $17,022 decrease, or 11%.
The decrease was due to declines in production taxes, well maintenance costs 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, 30% from $8,263 for the three months ended March 31,
1998 to $5,747 for the same period in 1999.
Depletion was $77,577 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared to
$77,825 for the same period in 1998. This represented a decrease in depletion of
$248. This decrease was the result of a combination of factors that included 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 and a reduction in oil
production of 1,515 barrels for the three months ended March 31, 1999 compared
to the same period in 1998, offset by a decline in proved reserves during the
three months ended March 31, 1999 due to the lower commodity prices.

<PAGE>
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $108,442 during the three
months ended March 31, 1999 from the same period in 1998. This decrease was
primarily due to a decline in oil and gas sales receipts, offset by decreases in
production costs, abandoned property costs and G&A expenses paid.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
The Partnership's principle investing activities for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998 were related to expenditures for oil and gas equipment
replacement on active properties.
Proceeds from asset dispositions of $13,493 were recognized during the three
months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 1999 to cover
distributions to the partners of $37,460 of which $375 was distributed to the
managing general partner and $37,085 to the limited partners. For the same
period ended March 31, 1998, cash was sufficient for distributions to the
partners of $158,356 of which $1,584 was distributed to the managing general
partner and $156,772 to the limited partners.
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 later part of the first
quarter of 1999 and into April 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. As a result, future
commodity prices will have a direct impact on the amount of future distributions
and could result in limited or no distributions to the partners.
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.
9
<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 March 31, 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.
The managing general partner expects to complete the assessment phase of its
Year 2000 project by the end of the second quarter of 1999. Through March 31,
1999, the managing general partner had distributed Year 2000 problem inquiries
to over 500 entities and has received responses to approximately 48% 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 March 31, 1999, the managing general partner
estimates that the remedial phase is approximately 79% 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 mid-1999. The managing general partner's Year 2000 remedial
actions have not delayed other information technology projects or upgrades.
10
<PAGE>
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
information technology systems by October 1999. The testing of the
non-information technology remediation is scheduled to be completed by the end
of June 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 March 31, 1999, the managing general partner's total costs incurred on the
Year 2000 problem were $2.4 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 assessment 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.
