NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1997
(Unaudited)
Note 1. Organization and nature of operations
Parker & Parsley 88-A, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1988 under the laws of the State of Delaware.
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 as of March 31,
1997 of the Partnership 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 Partnership's Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1996, 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.
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 to $330,871 from $311,476 for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively, an increase of 6%.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received per barrel
of oil and mcf of gas, offset by a 10% decline in barrels of oil produced and
sold and an 8% decline in mcf of gas produced and sold. For the three months
ended March 31, 1997, 10,229 barrels of oil were sold compared to 11,369 for the
same period in 1996, a decrease of 1,140 barrels. For the three months ended
March 31, 1997, 39,429 mcf of gas were sold compared to 42,666 for the same
period in 1996, a decrease of 3,237 mcf. The decreases in production volumes
were primarily due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. Because of these characteristics, management expects a certain
amount of decline in production to continue in the future until the
Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully depleted.

<PAGE>
The average price received per barrel of oil increased $2.76, or 14%, from
$19.08 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $21.84 for the same period
in 1997, while the average price received per mcf of gas increased 23% from
$2.22 during the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $2.73 for the same period
in 1997. 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, 1997.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses increased to $213,691 for the three months ended March
31, 1997 as compared to $207,202 for the same period in 1996, an increase of
$6,489, or 3%. The increase was due to increases in production costs and general
and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decrease in depletion.
Production costs were $140,747 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 and
$129,274 for the same period in 1996, resulting in an $11,473 increase, or 9%.
The increase was due to an increase in workover expenses incurred in an effort
to stimulate well production.
G&A consists of independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general
partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased, in
aggregate, 6% from $9,344 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to $9,926
for the same period in 1997. The Partnership agreement limits G&A to 3% of gross
oil and gas revenues.
Depletion was $63,018 for the three months ended March 31, 1997 compared to
$68,584 for the same period in 1996. This represented a decrease in depletion of
$5,566, or 8%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $100,863 for the three
months ended March 31, 1997 from the same period in 1996. This increase was due
to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts and a decrease in production costs
paid.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
The Partnership's principal investing activities during the three months ended
March 31, 1997 and 1996 were for equipment replacement on various oil and gas
properties.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash was sufficient for the three months ended March 31, 1997 to cover
distributions to the partners of $191,965 of which $190,045 was distributed to
8
<PAGE>
the limited partners and $1,920 to the managing general partner. For the same
period ended March 31, 1996, cash was sufficient for distributions to the
partners of $150,369 of which $148,865 was distributed to the limited partners
and $1,504 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.
