NOTE 1.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements as of September
30, 1995 of Parker & Parsley Producing  Properties 88-A, L.P. (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,  the results of operations  for the nine months ended
September  30, 1995 are not  necessarily  indicative of the results for the full
year ending December 31, 1995.

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,  1994,  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 103, Midland, Texas
79701.

ITEM 2.          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                   AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Registrant was formed August 31, 1988. The managing  general  partner of the
Registrant  at  December  31,  1994 was  Parker &  Parsley  Development  Company
("PPDC") which was merged into Parker & Parsley  Development  L.P.  ("PPDLP") on
January 1, 1995. On January 1, 1995, PPDLP, a Texas limited partnership,  became
the sole managing general partner of the Registrant, by acquiring the rights and
assuming the  obligations of 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 LP.,
which  survived  the  merger  with a change of name to PPDLP.  The sole  general
partner of PPDLP is Parker & Parsley Petroleum USA, Inc. PPDLP has the power and
authority to manage,  control and administer all Registrant affairs. The limited
partners  contributed   $5,611,000   representing  11,222  interests  ($500  per
interest) sold to a total of 525 limited partners.

Since its formation,  the Registrant  invested  $4,910,975 in various  prospects
that were  purchased  in Texas.  At  September  30,  1995,  the  Registrant  had
completed  one  acquisition  of producing  properties  involving the purchase of
working  interests  in 21  properties.  One  uneconomical  well was  plugged and
abandoned during 1992. The Registrant also participated in the drilling of three
oil and gas wells of which two were  completed  as  producers in 1989 and one in
1990.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared with nine months ended
   September 30, 1994

REVENUES:

The  Registrant's  oil and gas revenues  decreased to $559,944 from $590,399 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,  respectively,  a decrease of
5%. The  decrease  in  revenues  resulted  from a 12%  decline in barrels of oil
produced  and  sold,  a 5%  decline  in mcf of gas  produced  and  sold and a 6%
decrease in the average price received per mcf of gas,  offset by a 10% increase
in the average  price  received  per barrel of oil.  For the nine  months  ended
September 30, 1995,  23,745  barrels of oil were sold compared to 26,895 for the
same period in 1994,  a decrease  of 3,150  barrels.  For the nine months  ended
September 30, 1995,  89,925 mcf of gas were sold compared to 94,446 for the same
period in 1994, a decrease of 4,521 mcf. Because of the decline  characteristics
of the Registrant's oil and gas properties,  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 $1.57 from $15.73 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1994 to $17.30 for the same period in 1995 while
the average price  received per mcf of gas decreased  from $1.77 during the nine
months ended  September 30, 1994 to $1.66 in 1995.  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 nine months ended September
30, 1995.

COSTS AND EXPENSES:

Total  costs and  expenses  decreased  to  $489,515  for the nine  months  ended
September  30,  1995 as compared  to  $575,515  for the same  period in 1994,  a
decrease of $86,000,  or 15%. This decrease  resulted from declines in depletion
and  general  and  administrative  expenses  ("G&A"),  offset by an  increase in
production costs.

Production  costs were $271,285 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
$267,178  for the  same  period  in 1994  resulting  in a $4,107  increase.  The
increase was  primarily  due to  additional  well repair and  maintenance  costs
incurred in an effort to stimulate well production.

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,  5% from $17,695 for the nine months ended
September  30,  1994 to $16,798  for the same  period in 1995.  The  Partnership
agreement limits G&A to 3% of gross oil and gas revenues.

Depletion was $201,432 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1995 compared to
$290,642 for the same period in 1994.  This  represented a decrease in depletion
of $89,210,  or 31%. Depletion was computed quarterly on a  property-by-property
basis utilizing the unit-of-production

                                     7

method based upon the dominant mineral  produced,  generally oil. Oil production
decreased  3,150  barrels for the nine months ended  September 30, 1995 from the
same period in 1994.  Depletion  expense for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 was calculated based on reserves computed  utilizing an oil price of $16.35
per  barrel.  Comparatively,  depletion  expense  for  the  three  months  ended
September 30, 1994 and June 30, 1994 was calculated  based on reserves  computed
utilizing  an oil price of $18.26 per barrel  while  depletion  expense  for the
three  months  ended March 31, 1994 was  calculated  based on reserves  computed
utilizing an oil price of $12.76 per barrel.

Three months ended September 30, 1995 compared with three months ended
  September 30, 1994

REVENUES:

The  Registrant's  oil and gas revenues  decreased to $157,750 from $211,180 for
the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively,  a decrease of
25%.  The  decrease  in revenues  resulted  from a 25% decline in barrels of oil
produced and sold,  an 8% decline in mcf of gas produced and sold and  decreases
in the average  prices  received per barrel of oil and mcf of gas. For the three
months ended  September  30, 1995,  6,722  barrels of oil were sold  compared to
8,932 for the same period in 1994,  a decrease of 2,210  barrels.  For the three
months ended September 30, 1995,  30,158 mcf of gas were sold compared to 32,892
for the same period in 1994, a decrease of 2,734 mcf. The decline in oil and gas
production was due to the decline characteristics of the oil and gas properties.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  decreased 4% from $17.30 for the
three  months  ended  September  30, 1994 to $16.55 for the same period in 1995,
while the average price  received per mcf of gas decreased 10% from $1.72 during
the three months ended September 30, 1994 to $1.54 in 1995.

COSTS AND EXPENSES:

Total costs and  expenses  decreased  to  $137,237  for the three  months  ended
September  30,  1995 as compared  to  $189,343  for the same  period in 1994,  a
decrease of $52,106,  or 28%.  This decrease was due to reductions in production
costs, depletion and G&A.

Production  costs were $89,439 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and
$93,306 for the same period in 1994, resulting in a $3,867 decrease,  or 4%. The
decrease was primarily  attributable  to declines in well repair and maintenance
costs and production taxes, offset by an increase in 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,  22% from $6,100 for the three months ended
September 30, 1994 to $4,732 for the same period in 1995.

Depletion was $43,066 for the three months ended  September 30, 1995 compared to
$89,937 for the same period in 1994. This represented a decrease in depletion of
$46,871,  or 52%. Oil  production  decreased  2,210 barrels for the three months
ended September 30, 1995 from the same period in 1994. Depletion expense for the
three months ended September 30, 1995 was calculated based on reserves  computed
utilizing  an oil price of $16.35 per barrel  while  depletion  expense  for the
three months ended September 30, 1994 was calculated based on reserves  computed
utilizing an oil price of $18.26 per barrel.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

NET CASH PROVIDED BY OPERATING ACTIVITIES

Net cash provided by operating  activities increased to $351,513 during the nine
months ended  September  30,  1995,  a 14%  increase  from the same period ended
September  30,  1994,  resulting  from an  increase  in oil and gas  sales and a
decline in production  costs. The increase in oil and gas sales was attributable
to higher average prices  received for oil. The decline in production  costs was
due to less well repair and maintenance.

NET CASH USED IN INVESTING ACTIVITIES

The Registrant's  principal  investing  activities  during the nine months ended
September  30, 1995 was for repair and  maintenance  activity on various oil and
gas properties.

NET CASH USED IN FINANCING ACTIVITIES

Cash was  sufficient  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1995 to cover
distributions  to the partners of $335,873 of which $332,567 was  distributed to
the limited partners and $3,306 to the managing  general  partner.  For the same
period ended  September 30, 1994, cash was sufficient for  distributions  to the
partners of $310,399 of which $307,257 was  distributed to the limited  partners
and $3,142 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.

ACCOUNTING STANDARD ON IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

In March 1995,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 - Accounting for Impairment of Long-lived
Assets and for  Long-lived  Assets to Be Disposed Of ("FAS 121")  regarding  the
impairment of long-lived assets,  identifiable  intangibles and goodwill related
to those assets. FAS 121 is effective for financial  statements for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1995, although earlier adoption is encouraged.  The
application of FAS 121 to oil and gas companies utilizing the successful efforts
method (such as the Registrant) will require  periodic  determination of whether
the book value of long-lived  assets  exceeds the future cash flows  expected to
result from the use of such assets and,  if so, will  require  reduction  of the
carrying amount of the "impaired"  assets to their estimated fair values.  There
is currently a great

                                    9

<PAGE>



deal of uncertainty as to how FAS 121 will apply to oil and gas companies  using
the successful efforts method, including uncertainty regarding the determination
of expected  future cash flows from the relevant assets and, if an impairment is
determined  to exist,  their  estimated  fair value.  There is also  uncertainty
regarding the level at which the test might be applied.  Given this uncertainty,
the Registrant is currently unable to estimate the effect that FAS 121 will have
on the Registrant's results of operations for the period in which it is adopted.
