                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 1996
                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE 1.

Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 88-A, 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  production  in Texas is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas.

NOTE 2.

In the opinion of management, the Registrant's unaudited financial statements as
of June 30, 1996 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)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 1996 compared with six months ended
  June 30, 1995

Revenues:

The  Registrant's  oil and gas revenues  increased to $425,819 from $402,194 for
the six months  ended June 30, 1996 and 1995,  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  decreases  in  barrels  of oil and mcf of gas
produced and sold. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, 15,380 barrels of oil
were sold  compared to 17,023 for the same  period in 1995,  a decrease of 1,643
barrels,  or 10%. For the six months ended June 30, 1996, 51,253 mcf of gas were
sold compared to 59,767 for the same period in 1995, a decrease of 8,514 mcf, or
14%.  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.

                                        6

<PAGE>



The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased  $2.69,  or 15%,  from
$17.59 for the six months  ended June 30,  1995 to $20.28 for the same period in
1996 while the average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 29% from $1.72
during the six months ended June 30, 1995 to $2.22 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 six months ended June 30,
1996.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $259,986 for the six months ended June 30,
1996 as compared to $352,278 for the same period in 1995, a decrease of $92,292,
or 26%. This decrease was the result of reduced  production  costs and a decline
in  depletion,  offset by an  increase in general  and  administrative  expenses
("G&A").

Production  costs  were  $168,975  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1996 and
$181,846 for the same period in 1995,  resulting in a $12,871  decrease,  or 7%,
attributable to less well repair and maintenance costs, offset by an increase in
production taxes due to the increase in oil and gas revenues.

G&A's  components are  independent  accounting and  engineering  fees,  computer
services,  postage and managing  general partner  personnel  costs.  During this
period,  G&A increased,  in aggregate,  6% from $12,066 for the six months ended
June 30, 1995 to $12,775 for the same period in 1996. The Partnership  agreement
limits G&A to 3% of gross oil and gas revenues.

Depletion  was  $78,236  for the six months  ended  June 30,  1996  compared  to
$158,366 for the same period in 1995.  This  represented a decrease in depletion
of $80,130, or 51%, 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"
("FAS  121")  effective  the  fourth  quarter of 1995 and the  reduction  of net
depletable  basis resulting from the charge taken upon such adoption.  Depletion
was calculated on a property-by-property  basis utilizing the unit-of-production
method based upon the dominant  mineral  produced,  generally oil, and using oil
prices in effect at the end of the respective quarter.  Oil production decreased
1,643  barrels  for the six months  ended June 30,  1996 from the same period in
1995, while oil reserves of barrels were revised upward by 20,541, or 5%.

Three months ended June 30, 1996 compared with three months ended
  June 30, 1995

Revenues:

The  Registrant's  oil and gas revenues  increased to $222,322 from $194,134 for
the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, an increase of 15%.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received per barrel

of oil and mcf of gas,  offset  by  declines  in  barrels  of oil and mcf of gas
produced and sold.  For the three months ended June 30, 1996,  7,747  barrels of
oil were sold  compared to 8,037 for the same period in 1995,  a decrease of 290
barrels, or 4%. For the three months ended June 30, 1996, 23,332 mcf of gas were
sold compared to 31,499 for the same period in 1995, a decrease of 8,167 mcf, or
26%. The declines in production volumes were due to the decline  characteristics
of the Registrant's oil and gas properties.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  increased  $3.78,  or 21%,  from
$18.05 for the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $21.83 for the same period in
1996 while the average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 46% from $1.56
during the three months ended June 30, 1995 to $2.28 in 1996.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  decreased to $132,549 for the three months ended June
30,  1996 as compared  to  $159,819  for the same period in 1995,  a decrease of
$27,270,  or 17%. This decrease was the result of reduced production costs and a
decline in depletion, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production  costs were  $86,584  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1996 and
$89,087  for the same  period in 1995  resulting  in a $2,503  decrease,  or 3%,
attributable to less well repair and maintenance costs, offset by an increase in
production taxes due to the increase in oil and gas revenues.

G&A's  components are  independent  accounting and  engineering  fees,  computer
services,  postage and managing  general partner  personnel  costs.  During this
period, G&A increased, in aggregate,  15% from $5,824 for the three months ended
June 30, 1995 to $6,670 for the same period in 1996.

Depletion  was $39,295  for the three  months  ended June 30,  1996  compared to
$64,908 for the same period in 1995. This represented a decrease in depletion of
$25,613,  or 39%,  primarily  attributable to the adoption of FAS 121 the fourth
quarter of 1995, as discussed  previously.  Oil production decreased 290 barrels
for the three months ended June 30, 1996 from the same period in 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating  activities decreased during the six months ended
June 30, 1996 $35,205 from the same period  ended June 30, 1995.  This  decrease
was primarily due to an increase in production costs paid, offset by an increase
in oil and gas sales.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Registrant's  investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 1996
and 1995 included  expenditures related to equipment  replacement on various oil
and gas properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash  was   sufficient  for  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  1996  to  cover
distributions  to the partners of $232,495 of which $230,139 was  distributed to
the limited partners and $2,356 to the managing  general  partner.  For the same
period  ended  June 30,  1995,  cash was  sufficient  for  distributions  to the
partners of $217,194 of which $214,923 was  distributed to the limited  partners
and $2,271 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.
