Parts I and II of this Report contain forward looking statements that involve
risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that the actual
events and results will not be materially different than the anticipated results
described in the forward looking statements. See "Item 1. Business" for a
description of various factors that could materially affect the ability of the
Partnership to achieve the anticipated results described in the forward looking
statements.
PART I
ITEM 1. Business
Parker & Parsley 89-A, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1989 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The managing general
partner is Parker & Parsley Development L.P. ("PPDLP"). PPDLP's general partner
is Parker & Parsley Petroleum USA, Inc. ("PPUSA").
A Registration Statement, as amended, filed pursuant to the Securities Act of
1933, registering limited partnership interests aggregating $70,000,000 in a
series of Delaware limited partnerships formed under the Parker & Parsley 89
Development Drilling Program, was declared effective by the Securities and
Exchange Commission on August 1, 1989. On October 30, 1989, the offering of
limited partnership interests in the Partnership, the first partnership formed
under such registration statement, was closed, with interests aggregating
$8,317,000 being sold to 616 subscribers.
The Partnership engages primarily in oil and gas development and production and
is not involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. See "Item 6.
Selected Financial Data" and "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary
Data" of this report for a summary of the Partnership's revenue, income and
identifiable assets.
The principal markets during 1996 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. The principal markets for the
Partnership's gas were companies that have pipelines located near the
Partnership's gas producing properties. Of the Partnership's total oil and gas
revenues for 1996, approximately 63% and 11% were attributable to sales made to
Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. and Western Gas Resources, Inc., respectively.
The Partnership's revenues, profitability, cash flow and future rate of growth
are highly dependent on the prevailing prices of oil and gas, which are affected
by numerous factors beyond the Partnership's control. Oil and gas prices
historically have been very volatile. A substantial or extended decline in the
prices of oil or gas could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's
revenues, profitability and cash flow and could, under certain circumstances,
result in a reduction in the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties.
2
<PAGE>
Because of the demand for oil and gas, the Partnership does not believe that the
termination of the sales of its products to any one customer would have a
material adverse impact on its operations. The loss of a particular customer for
gas may have an effect if that particular customer has the only gas pipeline
located in the areas of the Partnership's gas producing properties. The
Partnership believes, however, that the effect would be temporary, until
alternative arrangements could be made.
Federal and state regulation of oil and gas operations generally includes the
fixing of maximum prices for regulated categories of natural gas, the imposition
of maximum allowable production rates, the taxation of income and other items
and the protection of the environment. Although the Partnership believes that
its business operations do not impair environmental quality and that its costs
of complying with any applicable environmental regulations are not currently
significant, the Partnership cannot predict what, if any, effect these
environmental regulations may have on its current or future operations.
The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. PPUSA employs 659
persons, many of whom dedicated a part of their time to the conduct of the
Partnership's business during the period for which this report is filed. The
Partnership's managing general partner, PPDLP through PPUSA, supplies all
management functions.
Numerous uncertainties exist in estimating quantities of proved reserves and
future net revenues therefrom. The estimates of proved reserves and related
future net revenues set forth in this report are based on various assumptions,
which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Therefore, such estimates should
not be construed as estimates of the current market value of the Partnership's
proved reserves.
No material part of the Partnership's business is seasonal and the Partnership
conducts no foreign operations.
ITEM 2. Properties
The Partnership's properties consist primarily of leasehold interests in
properties on which oil and gas wells are located. Such property interests are
often subject to landowner royalties, overriding royalties and other oil and gas
leasehold interests.
Fractional working interests in developmental oil and gas prospects located in
the Spraberry Trend area of West Texas were acquired by the Partnership,
resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 33 oil and gas
wells. At December 31, 1996, all 33 wells were producing.
For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 and changes in such quantities for
the years then ended, see Note 7 of Notes to Financial Statements included in
"Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" below. Such reserves have
been estimated by the engineering staff of PPUSA with a review by an independent
petroleum consultant.

<PAGE>
ITEM 3. Legal Proceedings
The Partnership is not aware of any material legal proceedings (other than
routine litigation in the ordinary course of the Partnership's business) to
which it is a party or to which its property is subject.
ITEM 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders
There were no matters submitted to a vote of security holders during the fourth
quarter of 1996.

<PAGE>
PART II
ITEM 5. Market for Partnership's Common Equity and Related Stockholder
Matters
At March 8, 1997, the Partnership had 8,317 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 615 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, PPDLP has made certain commitments to purchase
partnership interests at a computed value.
Revenues which, in the sole judgement of the managing general partner, are not
required to meet the Partnership's obligations are distributed to the partners
at least quarterly in accordance with the limited partnership agreement. During
the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, $573,201 and $471,544, respectively,
of such revenue-related distributions were made to the limited partners.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of operations
1996 compared to 1995
The Partnership's 1996 oil and gas revenues increased to $1,132,944 from
$932,815 in 1995, an increase of 21%. The increase in revenues resulted from
higher average prices received per barrel of oil and mcf of gas, offset by a 7%
decline in barrels of oil produced and sold and an 17% decline in mcf of gas
produced and sold. In 1996, 36,531 barrels of oil were sold compared to 39,292
in 1995, a decline of 2,761 barrels. In 1996, 131,428 mcf of gas were sold
compared to 158,272 in 1995, a decrease of 26,844 mcf. The declines in oil and
gas production were due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil
and gas properties. Management expects a certain amount of decline in production
to continue in the future until the Partnership's economically recoverable
reserves are fully depleted.
The average price received per barrel of oil increased $4.55, or 26%, from
$17.17 in 1995 to $21.72 in 1996, while the average price received per mcf of
gas increased 58% from $1.63 in 1995 to $2.58 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
Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average
prices lower or higher than that received in 1996.
Total costs and expenses decreased in 1996 to $654,712 as compared to $1,531,180
in 1995, a decrease of $876,468, or 57%. The decrease was primarily due to the
impairment of oil and gas properties in 1995 and declines in depletion, offset
by an increase in general and administrative expenses ("G&A").
Production costs were $423,914 in 1996 and $424,825 in 1995, resulting in a $911
decrease. The decrease was due to a decline in well repair and maintenance,
offset by an increase in workover 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 increased, in aggregate, 9% from $33,230 in 1995 to $36,092 in 1996.
The Partnership paid the managing general partner $32,317 in 1996 and $27,660 in
1995 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.
The Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121,
"Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to
be Disposed Of" ("SFAS 121") effective as of October 1, 1995 (see Notes 2 and 3
of Notes to Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and
Supplementary Data"). As a result of the review and evaluation of its long-lived
assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a non-cash charge of $692,515
related to its oil and gas properties during the fourth quarter of 1995.
6
<PAGE>
Depletion was $194,706 in 1996 compared to $380,610 in 1995. This represented a
decrease of $185,904, or 49%. This decrease was primarily attributable to the
following factors: (i) a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis
from charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121, (ii) a reduction in oil
production of 2,761 barrels for 1996 as compared to 1995, and (iii) an increase
in oil and gas reserves during 1996 as a result of higher commodity prices.
1995 compared to 1994
The Partnership's 1995 oil and gas revenues decreased to $932,815 from $982,923
in 1994, a decrease of 5%. The decrease in revenues resulted from a 10% decline
in barrels of oil produced and sold and a 9% decline in mcf of gas produced and
sold, offset by an increase in the average price received per barrel of oil. In
1995, 39,292 barrels of oil were sold compared to 43,768 in 1994, a decline of
4,476 barrels. In 1995, 158,272 mcf of gas were sold compared to 174,764 in
1994, a decrease of 16,492 mcf. The decline in oil and gas produced and sold was
due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties.
The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.20, or 8%, from $15.97
in 1994 to $17.17 in 1995, while the average price received per mcf of gas
remained at $1.63 from 1994 to 1995.
Total costs and expenses increased in 1995 to $1,531,180 as compared to $870,170
in 1994, an increase of $661,010, or 76%. The increase was due to increases in
G&A, depletion and impairment of oil and gas properties, offset by a decrease in
production costs and amortization of organization costs.
Production costs were $424,825 in 1995 and $449,714 in 1994, resulting in a
$24,889 decrease, or 6%. The decrease was due to declines in well repair,
maintenance and workover costs.
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, 4% from $32,035 in 1994 to $33,230 in 1995.
The Partnership paid the managing general partner $27,660 in 1995 and $24,927 in
1994 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.
The Partnership adopted SFAS 121 effective as of October 1, 1995 (see Notes 2
and 3 of Notes to Financial Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements
and Supplementary Data"). As a result of the review and evaluation of its
long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a non-cash charge
of $692,515 related to its oil and gas properties during the fourth quarter of
1995.
Depletion was $380,610 in 1995 compared to $377,107 in 1994. This represented an
increase of $3,503. Oil production decreased 4,476 barrels in 1995 from 1994,
while oil reserves of barrels were revised downward by 6,841 barrels, or 1%.

<PAGE>
Impact of inflation and changing prices on sales and net income
Inflation impacts the fixed overhead rate charges of the lease operating
expenses for the Partnership. During 1994, the annual change in the index of
average weekly earnings of crude petroleum and gas production workers issued by
the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics increased by 4.8%. The
1995 annual change in average weekly earnings increased by 4.4%. The 1996 index
(effective April 1, 1996) increased 4.1%. The impact of inflation for other
lease operating expenses is small due to the current economic condition of the
oil industry.
The oil and gas industry experienced volatility during the past decade because
of the fluctuation of the supply of most fossil fuels relative to the demand for
such products and other uncertainties in the world energy markets causing
significant fluctuations in oil and gas prices. During 1996, the price per
barrel for oil production similar to the Partnership's ranged from approximately
$18.00 to $25.00. For February 1997, the average price for the Partnership's oil
was approximately $22.00.
Prices for natural gas are subject to ordinary seasonal fluctuations, and this
volatility of natural gas prices may result in production being curtailed and,
in some cases, wells being completely shut-in.
Liquidity and capital resources
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $29,885 during the year
ended December 31, 1996 from the year ended December 31, 1995. This increase was
primarily attributable to an increase in oil and gas sales.
Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities
The Partnership's investing activities during 1996 and 1995 were related to the
addition or disposal of oil and gas equipment on active properties.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
Cash was sufficient in 1996 for distributions to the partners of $578,994 of
which $573,201 was distributed to the limited partners and $5,793 to the
managing general partner. Cash was sufficient in 1995 for distributions to the
partners of $476,311 of which $471,544 was distributed to the limited partners
and $4,767 to the managing general partner.
It is expected that future net cash provided by operations will be sufficient
for any capital expenditures and any distributions. As the production from the
properties declines, distributions are also expected to decrease.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994
Note 1. Organization and nature of operations
Parker & Parsley 89-A, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1989 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. Summary of significant accounting policies
A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:
Impairment of long-lived assets - Commencing in 1995, in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of"
("SFAS 121"), the Partnership reviews its long-lived assets to be held and used
on an individual property basis, including oil and gas properties accounted for
under the successful efforts method of accounting, whenever events or
circumstances indicate that the carrying value of those assets may not be
recoverable. An impairment loss is indicated if the sum of the expected future
cash flows is less than the carrying amount of the assets. In this circumstance,
the Partnership recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the
carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.
The Partnership accounts for long-lived assets to be disposed of at the
lower of their carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell once management
has committed to a plan to dispose of the assets.
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 121 in the fourth quarter of 1995, the
Partnership's aggregate oil and gas properties were stated at cost not in excess
of total estimated future net revenues and the estimated fair value of oil and
gas assets not being depleted.
Oil and gas properties - The Partnership utilizes the successful efforts
method of accounting for its oil and gas properties and equipment. Under this
method, all costs associated with productive wells and nonproductive development
wells are capitalized while nonproductive exploration costs are expensed.
Capitalized costs relating to proved properties are depleted using the
unit-of-production method on a property-by-property basis based on proved oil
(dominant mineral) reserves as determined by the engineering staff of Parker &
Parsley Petroleum USA Inc. ("PPUSA"), the sole general partner of Parker &
Parsley Development L.P. ("PPDLP"), the Partnership's managing general partner,
and reviewed by independent petroleum consultants. The carrying amounts of
properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related allowances for
21
<PAGE>
depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss is included in
operations.
Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements - Preparation
of the accompanying financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reporting amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Net income (loss) per limited partnership interest - The net income
(loss) per limited partnership interest is calculated by using the number of
outstanding limited partnership interests.
Income taxes - A Federal income tax provision has not been included in
the financial statements as the income of the Partnership is included in the
individual Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.
Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and
cash equivalents include depository accounts held by banks.
General and administrative expenses - General and administrative expenses
are allocated in part to the Partnership by the managing general partner or its
affiliates. Such allocated expenses are determined by the managing general
partner based upon its judgement of the level of activity of the Partnership
relative to the managing general partner's activities and other entities it
manages. The method of allocation has varied in certain years and may do so
again depending on the activities of the managed entities.
Environmental - The Partnership is subject to extensive federal, state
and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly
changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may
require the Partnership to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the
disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites.
Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future
economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by
past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed.
Liabilities for expenditures of a noncapital nature are recorded when
environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be
reasonably estimated.
Note 3. Impairment of long-lived assets
The Partnership adopted SFAS 121 effective October 1, 1995. In order to
determine whether an impairment had occurred, the Partnership estimated the
expected future cash flows of its oil and gas properties and compared such
future cash flows to the carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to
determine if the carrying amount was recoverable. For those oil and gas
properties for which the carrying amount exceeded the estimated future cash
flows, an impairment was determined to exist; therefore, the Partnership
adjusted the carrying amount of those oil and gas properties to their fair value
22
<PAGE>
as determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result of the review
and evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership
recognized a non-cash charge of $692,515 related to its oil and gas properties
during the fourth quarter of 1995.
Note 4. Income taxes
The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $1,653,558 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 1996.
The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) per statements of
operations with the net income per Federal income tax returns for the years

Note 7. Oil and gas information (unaudited)
The following table presents information relating to the Partnership's
estimated proved oil and gas reserves at December 31, 1996, 1995 and 1994 and
changes in such quantities during the years then ended. All of the Partnership's
reserves are proved and located within the United States. The Partnership's
reserves are based on an evaluation prepared by the engineering staff of PPUSA
and reviewed by an independent petroleum consultant, using criteria established
by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Reserve value information is
available to limited partners pursuant to the Partnership agreement and,
therefore, is not presented.
Oil (bbls) Gas (mcf)
---------- ---------
Net proved reserves at January 1, 1994 612,895 2,037,810
Revisions (39,242) (198,834)
Production (43,768) (174,764)
-------- ---------
Net proved reserves at December 31, 1994 529,885 1,664,212
Revisions (6,841) 184,821
Production (39,292) (158,272)
-------- ---------
Net proved reserves at December 31, 1995 483,752 1,690,761
Revisions 108,354 653,434
Production (36,531) (131,428)
-------- ---------
Net proved reserves at December 31, 1996 555,575 2,212,767
======== =========
The estimated present value of future net revenues of proved reserves,
calculated using December 31, 1996 prices of $24.78 per barrel of oil and $3.79
per mcf of gas, discounted at 10% was approximately $5,738,000 and undiscounted
was $11,850,000 at December 31, 1996.
The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise
and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as future information
becomes available.
Note 8. Major customers
The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil
and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10%
of total sales) during the years ended December 31:
1996 1995 1994
------ ------ ------
Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. 63% 67% 64%
GPM Gas Corporation - - 15%
Western Gas Resources, Inc. 11% - -
The above customers represent 67% of total accounts receivable at
December 31, 1996.
25
<PAGE>
PPDLP is party to a long-term agreement pursuant to which PPDLP and
affiliates are to sell to Basis Petroleum, Inc. (formerly Phibro Energy, Inc.)
substantially all crude oil (including condensate) which any of such entities
have the right to market from time to time. On September 23, 1996, PPDLP and
Basis Petroleum, Inc. entered into an agreement that supersedes the prior crude
oil purchase agreement between the parties and provides for adjusted terms
effective December 1, 1995. On November 25, 1996, the Company consented to the
assignment of the agreement to Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. ("Genesis"), a limited
partnership formed by Basis Petroleum, Inc. and Howell Corporation. The price to
be paid by Genesis for oil purchased under the agreement ("Genesis Agreement")
is to be competitive with prices paid by other substantial purchasers in the
same areas who are significant competitors of Genesis. The price to be paid for
oil purchased under the Genesis Agreement includes a market-related bonus that
may vary from month to month based upon spot oil prices at various commodity
trade points. The term of the Genesis Agreement is through June 30, 1998, and it
may continue thereafter subject to termination rights afforded each party.
Salomon, Inc., the parent company of Basis Petroleum, Inc. and a subordinated
limited partner in Genesis, secures the payment obligations under the Genesis
Agreement with a $25 million payment guarantee. Accounts receivable-oil and gas
sales included $89,742 due from Genesis at December 31, 1996.
Note 9. Organization and operations
The Partnership was organized October 30, 1989 as a limited partnership
under the Delaware Act for the purpose of acquiring and developing oil and gas
properties. The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions
of the limited partnership agreement:
Managing general partner - The managing general partner of the
Partnership is PPDLP. PPDLP has the power and authority to manage,
control and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. Under the
limited partnership agreement, the managing general partner pays 1% of
the Partnership's acquisition, drilling and completion costs and 1% of
its operating and general and administrative expenses. In return, it is
allocated 1% of the Partnership's revenues.
Limited partner liability - The maximum amount of liability of any
limited partner is the total contributions of such partner plus his share
of any undistributed profits.
Initial capital contributions - The limited partners entered into
subscription agreements for aggregate capital contributions of
$8,317,000. The managing general partner is required to contribute
amounts equal to 1% of initial Partnership capital less commission and
offering expenses allocated to the limited partners and to contribute
amounts necessary to pay costs and expenses allocated to it under the
Partnership agreement to the extent its share of revenues does not cover
such costs.
