(A Delaware Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 1996
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1.
Parker & Parsley 88-B, L.P. (the "Registrant") is a limited partnership
organized in 1988 under the laws of the State of Delaware.
The Registrant 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.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements as of March 31,
1996 of the Registrant 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 Registrant's Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995, 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)
The Registrant was formed November 18, 1988. On January 1, 1995, Parker &
Parsley Development L.P. ("PPDLP"), a Texas limited partnership, became the sole
managing general partner of the Registrant, by acquiring the rights and assuming
the obligations of Parker & Parsley Development Company ("PPDC"). PPDLP acquired
PPDC's rights and obligations as managing general partner of the Registrant in
connection with the merger of PPDC, P&P Producing, Inc. and Spraberry
Development Corporation into MidPar L.P., which survived the merger with a
change of name to PPDLP. PPDLP has the power and authority to manage, control
and administer all Registrant affairs. The limited partners contributed
$8,954,000 representing 8,954 interests ($1,000 per interest) sold to a total of
715 limited partners.
Since its formation, the Registrant invested $7,300,938 in various prospects
that were drilled in Texas. One well was plugged and abandoned during 1992. At
March 31, 1996, the Registrant had 42 producing oil and gas wells.

Results of Operations
Revenues:
The Registrant's oil and gas revenues decreased to $231,746 from $239,038 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively, a decrease of 3%.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a 12% decline in barrels of oil produced
and sold and a 16% decline in mcf of gas produced and sold, offset by an 11%
increase in the average price received per barrel of oil and a 15% increase in
the average price received per mcf of gas. For the three months ended March 31,
1996, 9,395 barrels of oil were sold compared to 10,697 for the same period in
1995, a decrease of 1,302 barrels. For the three months ended March 31, 1996,
24,278 mcf of gas were sold compared to 28,770 for the same period in 1995, a
decrease of 4,492 mcf. The volume decreases are primarily due to the decline
characteristics of the Registrant'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 Registrant's economically recoverable reserves
are fully depleted.
The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.81 from $17.16 for the
three months ended March 31, 1995 to $18.97 for the same period in 1996, while
the average price received per mcf of gas increased from $1.93 during the three
months ended March 31, 1995 to $2.21 in 1996. 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 Registrant 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, 1996.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses decreased to $163,653 for the three months ended March
31, 1996 as compared to $211,699 for the same period in 1995, a decrease of
$48,046, or 23%. The decrease was due to declines in production costs, general
and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion.
Production costs were $100,430 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
$112,356 for the same period in 1995, resulting in a $11,926 decrease, or 11%.
The decrease was primarily due to a decline in well repair and maintenance costs
and ad valorem taxes.
G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees, computer
services, postage and managing general partner personnel costs. During this
period, G&A decreased, in aggregate, 3% from $7,171 for the three months ended
March 31, 1995 to $6,952 for the same period in 1996. The Partnership agreement
limits G&A to 3% of gross oil and gas revenues.
Depletion was $56,271 for the three months ended March 31, 1996 compared to
$92,172 for the same period in 1995. This represented a decrease in depletion of
$35,901, or 39%, primarily attributable to the adoption of the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of"
effective for the fourth quarter of 1995 and the reduction of net depletable
basis resulting from the charge taken upon such adoption. Depletion was computed
7
<PAGE>
property-by-property utilizing the unit-of-production method based upon the
dominant mineral produced, generally oil. Oil production decreased 1,302 barrels
for the three months ended March 31, 1996 from the same period in 1995, while
oil reserves of barrels were revised upward by 22,324 barrels, or 4%.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased to $95,267 during the three
months ended March 31, 1996, a $32,130, or 25%, decrease from the same period
ended March 31, 1995. This decrease was due to an increase in expenditures for
production costs and a decrease in oil and gas sales receipts. The increase in
production cost expenditures was due to additional well repair and maintenance
costs. The decrease in oil and gas sales receipts was due to declines in barrels
of oil and mcf of gas produced and sold.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
The Registrant's principal investing activities during the three months ended
March 31, 1996 were for repair and maintenance activity on various oil and gas
properties.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash was sufficient for the three months ended March 31, 1996 to cover
distributions to the partners of $105,010 of which $103,960 was distributed to
the limited partners and $1,050 to the managing general partner. For the same
period ended March 31, 1995, cash was sufficient for distributions to the
partners of $124,811 of which $123,563 was distributed to the limited partners
and $1,248 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.
