(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) Note 1. Organization and nature of operations Parker & Parsley 88-B, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized in 1988 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership engages 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 of the Partnership as of March 31, 2001 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. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 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, 2000, 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 increased 13% to $326,397 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $288,612 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 6,753 barrels of oil, 2,315 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 8,631 mcf of gas were sold, or 10,507 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 8,236 barrels of oil, 3,267 barrels of NGLs and 7 14,019 mcf of gas were sold, or 13,840 BOEs. Of the decrease, 2,758 BOEs are attributable to three wells reaching payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements which reduced the Partnership's net revenue interest in the wells. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.39, or 13%, from $26.41 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $29.80 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $5.63, or 39%, from $14.34 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $19.97 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 428% from $1.73 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $9.14 for the same period in 2001. 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, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $128,179 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $118,857 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $9,322, or 8%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in production costs, offset by decreases in depletion and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $104,442 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $90,211 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $14,231 increase, or 16%. The increase in production costs was primarily due to higher production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional workover and well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production, offset by a decline in lease operating and production taxes attributable to the wells that reached payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements as noted above. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and administrative costs. During this period, G&A decreased 9% from $8,938 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $8,160 for the same period in 2001. Depletion was $15,577 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $19,708 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $4,131, or 21%. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in oil production of 1,483 barrels for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 and positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $61,136 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $38,414 in oil and gas sales receipts and reductions of $778 in G&A expenses and $36,175 in working capital, offset by an increase in production costs of $14,231. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $150,881 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $112,467 resulting from 8 the decline in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional workover and well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's principal investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were for equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $524 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2001 were due to equipment credits received on active properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were $261,441, of which $2,614 was distributed to the managing general partner and $258,827 to the limited partners. For the same period ended March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $164,763, of which $1,648 was distributed to the managing general partner and $163,115 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 18, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The preliminary proxy statement is non-binding and is subject to, among other things, consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its assets, the majority approval of the limited partners in each partnership and the resolution of SEC review comments. If approved, Pioneer anticipates closing the mergers during the third quarter of 2001. - --------------- (1) "Item 2.
