NOTE 1.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements as of September
30,  1995 of  Parker  &  Parsley  89-B,  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 101, Midland, Texas
79701.

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

The Registrant was formed December 30, 1989. 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  $6,949,000   representing  6,949  interests  ($1,000  per
interest) sold to a total of 463 limited partners.

Since its formation,  the Registrant  invested  $5,812,535 in various  prospects
drilled in Texas. At September 30, 1995, the Registrant had 33 producing oil and
gas wells.

                                     6






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 $570,144 from $601,667 for
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,  respectively,  a decrease of
5%. The  decrease  in  revenues  resulted  from a 13%  decline in barrels of oil
produced  and sold,  a 5% decline in mcf of gas produced and sold and a decrease
in the  average  price  received  per mcf of gas,  offset by an  increase in the
average  price  received per barrel of oil. For the nine months ended  September
30, 1995, 24,523 barrels of oil were sold compared to 28,031 for the same period
in 1994, a decrease of 3,508  barrels.  For the nine months ended  September 30,
1995,  86,897 mcf of gas were sold  compared  to 91,606  for the same  period in
1994,  a  decrease  of 4,709 mcf.  These  production  decreases  were due to 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 9% from $15.79 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1994 to $17.28 for the same period in 1995 while
the average  price  received per mcf of gas decreased 3% from $1.74 for the nine
months ended September 30, 1994 to $1.69 for the same period 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  increased  to  $517,459  for the nine  months  ended
September  30,  1995 as compared  to  $502,202  for the same period in 1994,  an
increase of $15,257,  or 3%. This  increase was due to  increases in  production
costs and depletion,  offset by declines in general and administrative  expenses
("G&A") and amortization of organization costs.

Production  costs were $288,404 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
$280,706 for the same period in 1994 resulting in a $7,698 increase,  or 3%. The
increase was primarily due to increases in well

                                     7






repair,  maintenance  and workover costs incurred in an effort to stimulate well
production, offset by a decline 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 11% from $19,244 for the nine months ended  September 30,
1994 to $17,104 for the same period in 1995. The  Partnership  agreement  limits
G&A to 3% of gross oil and gas revenues.

Depletion was $211,951 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1995 compared to
$196,464 for the same period in 1994. This  represented an increase in depletion
of $15,487,  or 8%. Depletion was computed  quarterly on a  property-by-property
basis utilizing the  unit-of-production  method based upon the dominant  mineral
produced,  generally  oil. Oil production  decreased  3,508 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

REVENUES:

The  Registrant's  oil and gas revenues  decreased to $180,781 from $209,627 for
the three months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively,  a decrease of
14%.  The  decrease  in revenues  resulted  from a 10% decline in barrels of oil
produced and sold, a 6% 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,  7,934  barrels of oil were sold  compared to
8,850 for the same  period in 1994,  a decrease  of 916  barrels.  For the three
months ended September 30, 1995,  31,116 mcf of gas were sold compared to 33,087
mcf for the same period in 1994, a decrease of 1,971 mcf.  These  decreases were
due to the decline characteristics of the Registrant's oil and gas properties.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  decreased 5% from $17.34 for the
three  months  ended  September  30,  1994 to $16.53 for the same period in 1995
while the average price received per mcf of gas decreased


                                      8






6% from $1.70 for the three  months  ended  September  30, 1994 to $1.60 for the
same period in 1995.

COSTS AND EXPENSES:

Total costs and  expenses  increased  to  $164,531  for the three  months  ended
September  30,  1995 as compared  to  $150,694  for the same period in 1994,  an
increase of $13,837,  or 9%. This  increase was due to  increases in  production
costs and depletion,  offset by declines in G&A and amortization of organization
costs.

Production  costs were $91,183 for the three months ended September 30, 1995 and
$84,810 for the same period in 1994 resulting in a $6,373  increase,  or 8%. The
increase was  attributable to additional  well repair and maintenance  costs and
higher ad valorem taxes, offset by a decline in production 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 16% from $5,615 for the three months ended  September 30,
1994 to $4,694 for the same period in 1995.

Depletion was $68,654 for the three months ended  September 30, 1995 compared to
$58,339 for the same period in 1994.  This  represented an increase in depletion
of $10,315,  or 18%. Oil  production  decreased 916 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 decreased to $295,246 during the nine
months  ended  September  30,  1995,  an 8% decrease  from the same period ended
September 30, 1994.  This decrease was due to a decline in oil and gas sales and
an increase in production costs,  offset by a decline in G&A. The decline in oil
and gas sales was  primarily  due to  decreases in barrels of oil and mcf of gas
produced and sold,  offset by an increase in the average price received for oil.
Production  costs  increased  due to  additional  well repair,  maintenance  and
workover costs


                                     9






incurred in an effort to stimulate well  production.  The decline in G&A was the
result of less allocated expenses by the managing general partner.

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 $283,605 of which $280,768 was  distributed to
the limited partners and $2,837 to the managing  general  partner.  For the same
period ended  September 30, 1994, cash was sufficient for  distributions  to the
partners of $290,982 of which $288,072 was  distributed to the limited  partners
and $2,910 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 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


                                    10






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.
