Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker &  Parsley  90-C,  L.P.  (the  "Partnership")  is a  limited  partnership
organized in 1990 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,
1998 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,  1997,  as filed with the  Securities  and
Exchange  Commission,  a copy of which is  available  upon request by writing to
Rich Dealy,  Vice President and Chief  Accounting  Officer,  5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

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  decreased 36% to $192,858 from $302,285
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1997,  respectively.  The decrease
in revenues  resulted from lower average prices received,  offset by an increase
in production. For the three months ended March 31, 1998, 10,357 barrels of oil,
2,928  barrels of natural gas liquids  ("NGLs") and 12,592 mcf of gas were sold,
or 15,384 barrel of oil equivalents  ("BOEs").  For the three months ended March
31, 1997, 10,604 barrels of oil and 23,476 mcf of gas were sold, or 14,517 BOEs.

As of September 30, 1997, the Partnership began accounting for processed natural
gas   production  as  processed   natural  gas  liquids  and  dry  residue  gas.
Consequently,  separate product volumes will not be comparable for periods prior

                                        7

to September 30, 1997.  Also,  prices for gas products will not be comparable as
the price per mcf for natural gas for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998 is
the price received for dry residue gas and the price per mcf for natural gas for
the three months ended March 31, 1997 is a price for wet gas (i.e.,  natural gas
liquids combined with dry residue gas).

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  decreased  $7.19,  or 33%,  from
$21.98 for the three  months  ended March 31, 1997 to $14.79 for the same period
in 1998.  The average price  received per barrel of NGLs during the three months
ended  March 31,  1998 was $7.04.  The  average  price  received  per mcf of gas
decreased  49% from $2.95  during the three months ended March 31, 1997 to $1.51
for the same period in 1998. 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, 1998.

During  most of 1997,  the  Partnership  benefitted  from  higher  oil prices as
compared to previous  years.  However,  during the fourth  quarter of 1997,  oil
prices began a downward  trend that has continued  into March 1998. On April 23,
1998, the market price for West Texas  intermediate crude was $13.80 per barrel.
A continuation of the oil price environment experienced during the first quarter
of 1998 will have an adverse effect on the Partnership's  revenues and operating
cash flow and could result in additional  decreases in the carrying value of the
Partnership's oil and gas properties.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses  decreased to $181,447 for the three months ended March
31,  1998 as compared  to  $192,635  for the same period in 1997,  a decrease of
$11,188,  or 6%.  This  decrease  was due to a decline in  production  costs and
general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by an increase in depletion.

Production  costs were  $130,179  for the three  months ended March 31, 1998 and
$141,574 for the same period in 1997, resulting in a decrease of $11,395, or 8%.
The decrease was due to less well maintenance  costs and a decline in production
taxes.

G&A's  components are independent  accounting and engineering  fees and managing
general  partner  personnel  and  operating  costs.   During  this  period,  G&A
decreased,  in  aggregate,  35% from $9,888 for the three months ended March 31,
1997 to $6,407 for the same period in 1998.

Depletion  was $44,861  for the three  months  ended March 31, 1998  compared to
$41,173 for the same period in 1997.  This  represented an increase in depletion
of $3,688, or 9%, primarily attributable to a decline in oil reserves during the
three months ended March 31, 1998 as a result of lower commodity prices,  offset
by a reduction in the  Partnership's  net depletable basis from charges taken 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") during the fourth quarter of 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating  activities  decreased  $142,267 during the three
months ended March 31, 1998 from the same period in 1997.  This decrease was due
to a decline in oil and gas sales receipts,  offset by a decline in G&A expenses
paid.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's  principal investing  activities during the three months ended
March 31, 1998 and 1997 were related to the addition of oil and gas equipment on
active properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash  was  sufficient  for the  three  months  ended  March  31,  1998 to  cover
distributions  to the partners of $93,880 of which $939 was  distributed  to the
managing  general  partner  and $92,941 to the  limited  partners.  For the same
period  ended March 31,  1997,  cash was  sufficient  for  distributions  to the
partners of $193,819 of which $1,938 was  distributed  to the  managing  general
partner and $191,881 to the limited partners.

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.

Information systems for the year 2000

The managing general partner will be required to modify its information  systems
in order to  accurately  process  Partnership  data  referencing  the year 2000.
Because of the importance of occurrence  dates in the oil and gas industry,  the
consequences of not pursuing these  modifications  could be very  significant to
the Partnership's ability to manage and report operating activities.  Currently,
the managing general partner plans to contract with third parties to perform the
software  programming  changes  necessary to correct any existing  deficiencies.
Such programming  changes are anticipated to be completed and tested by March 1,
1999. The managing  general  partner will allocate a portion of the costs of the
year 2000 programming  charges to the Partnership when they are incurred,  along
with recurring general and administrative  expenses.  Although the costs are not
estimable at this time, they should not be significant to the Partnership.
