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 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, 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

should  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial  statements  and the  notes

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 137% to $453,944 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 as compared to $191,549 for the same period in 1999.
The  increase in revenues  resulted  from higher  average  prices  received  and
increases in  production.  For the three  months  ended March 31,  2000,  11,392
barrels of oil, 6,086 barrels of natural gas liquids  ("NGLs") and 26,331 mcf of
gas were  sold,  or 21,867  barrel of oil  equivalents  ("BOEs").  For the three
months ended March 31, 1999,  11,386  barrels of oil,  5,344 barrels of NGLs and
25,690 mcf of gas were sold, or 21,012 BOEs.

                                        7

The average price  received per barrel of oil increased  $16.36,  or 144%,  from
$11.33 for the three  months  ended March 31, 1999 to $27.69 for the same period
in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $9.70, or 177%,
from  $5.48 for the three  months  ended  March 31,  1999 to $15.18 for the same
period in 2000.  The average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 35% from
$1.30  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 $3,753 was  attributable to credits  received
from the disposal of oil and gas  equipment on one fully  depleted  well for the
three months ended March 31, 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses  decreased to $215,010 for the three months ended March
31,  2000 as compared  to  $227,227  for the same period in 1999,  a decrease of
$12,217,  or 5%.  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  $162,841  for the three  months ended March 31, 2000 and
$143,903 for the same period in 1999,  resulting in a $18,938 increase,  or 13%.
The increase was the result of  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,  137% from $5,747 for the three months ended March 31,
1999 to $13,618 for the same period in 2000  primarily  due to increased oil and
gas revenues.

Depletion  was $38,551  for the three  months  ended March 31, 2000  compared to
$77,577  for the same  period in 1999,  a  decrease  of  $39,026,  or 50%.  This
decrease was primarily 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  $180,496 during the three
months  ended  March 31,  2000 from the same period in 1999.  The  increase  was
primarily attributable to an increase of $206,435 in oil and gas sales receipts,
offset by increases in operating  costs paid of $20,222 and in G&A expenses paid
of $5,717.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

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

Proceeds from salvage income of $3,753 were  recognized  during the three months
ended March 31, 2000 on one fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2000,  cash  distributions  to the partners
were $204,239,  of which $2,042 was distributed to the managing  general partner
and $202,197 to the limited partners.  For the same period ended March 31, 1999,
cash  distributions to the partners were $37,460,  of which $375 was distributed
to the managing general partner and $37,085 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.
