     Parker & Parsley Petroleum USA, Inc. and other predecessors of Pioneer
Natural Resources USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation that we call Pioneer USA,
sponsored each of the partnerships. Pioneer USA is the managing or sole general
partner of each of the partnerships. Pioneer USA is a direct 100% owned
subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company, a Delaware corporation that we
call Pioneer Parent.

     The purpose of the special meeting for each partnership in which you own an
interest is for you to consider and vote on the following matters:


          1. A proposal to approve an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
                 , 2001, among Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and each of the
     partnerships. Each partnership that approves this proposal, which we call a
     participating partnership, will merge with and into Pioneer USA, with
     Pioneer USA surviving the merger. Each partnership interest of a
     participating partnership, other than Pioneer USA's partnership interests,
     will be converted into shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of
     Pioneer Parent. The number of shares of common stock Pioneer Parent will
     offer for all partnership interests of a participating partnership will be
     based on (1) the participating partnership's merger value and (2) the
     average closing price of the Pioneer Parent common stock, as reported by
     the New York Stock Exchange, for the ten trading days ending three business
     days before the initial date scheduled for the special meeting for the
     partnership. The merger value for a participating partnership is equal to
     the sum of the present value of estimated future net revenues

   3


     from the partnership's estimated oil and gas reserves and its net working
     capital, in each case as of March 31, 2001, less its pro rata share, based
     on its reserve value, of the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of
     all of the partnerships and less the cash distribution mailed on July 13,
     2001, by the partnership to its partners. For purposes of illustration in
     this document, we have calculated the number of shares to be issued based
     on an assumed average closing price of $18.00 per share of Pioneer Parent
     common stock. Prior to the date of the special meeting for each
     partnership, we will update the number of shares to be issued using the
     actual average closing price of Pioneer Parent common stock for the ten
     trading days ending three business days before the initial date of the
     special meeting. You may call D. F. King & Co., Inc. after
                      , 2001 at 1-800-XXX-XXXX to learn the final number of
     shares you will receive. The Pioneer Parent common stock will be allocated
     among the partners based on the liquidation provisions of each partnership
     agreement. Pioneer Parent will not issue fractional shares to any limited
     partner upon completion of the merger of any partnership. Instead, Pioneer
     Parent will round any fractional shares of Pioneer Parent common stock up
     to the nearest whole share. Pioneer USA will not receive any Pioneer Parent
     common stock for its partnership interests in the participating
     partnerships.


          2. A proposal to amend the partnership agreement of each partnership
     to permit the partnership's merger with Pioneer USA. If the amendment is
     not approved, that partnership cannot merge into Pioneer USA even if the
     partners of that partnership approve the merger agreement.


          3. A proposal (A) to approve the opinion issued to Pioneer USA by
               on behalf of the limited partners of each partnership that
     neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of
     the partnership by its limited partners (1) will result in the loss of any
     limited partner's limited liability or (2) will adversely affect the
     federal income tax classification of the partnership or any of its limited
     partners and (B) to approve the selection of           as special legal
     counsel for the limited partners of each partnership to render the legal
     opinion. The partnership agreement of each partnership requires this
     opinion to be obtained and submitted to the limited partners for their
     approval.



     Pioneer USA is also requesting authorization to use its discretionary
voting authority to postpone or adjourn the special meeting of limited partners
for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies.


     The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus contains information about each
merger, including the amount of Pioneer Parent common stock that will be offered
to limited partners per $1,000 initial investment in each partnership, and
descriptions of the merger agreement, the merger amendment and the legal opinion
of the special legal counsel for the limited partners. The proxy
statement/prospectus also contains a copy of the merger agreement, the merger
amendment and the legal opinion.

     Pioneer USA set the close of business on           , 2001, as the record
date to identify the limited partners who are entitled to notice of and to vote
at each special meeting or any adjournments or postponements of the special
meeting. During the ten business days before the special meeting, you may
examine lists of the limited partners of each partnership in which you own an
interest at the offices of Pioneer USA during normal business hours for any
purpose relevant to the special meeting for each partnership in which you own an
interest.


     ON AUGUST 20, 2001, PIONEER USA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY DETERMINED
THAT THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH YOU OWN AN INTEREST IS ADVISABLE,
FAIR TO YOU AS AN UNAFFILIATED LIMITED PARTNER, AND IN YOUR BEST INTERESTS. THE
BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU, AS AN UNAFFILIATED LIMITED PARTNER, VOTE FOR THE
MERGER AGREEMENT, THE MERGER AMENDMENT, THE SELECTION OF SPECIAL LEGAL COUNSEL
FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS, THAT COUNSEL'S LEGAL OPINION FOR EACH PARTNERSHIP IN
WHICH YOU OWN AN INTEREST, AND THE AUTHORIZATION TO ALLOW PIONEER USA TO USE ITS
DISCRETIONARY VOTING AUTHORITY TO POSTPONE OR ADJOURN THE SPECIAL MEETING.
ALTHOUGH PIONEER USA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS ATTEMPTED TO FULFILL ITS FIDUCIARY
DUTIES TO YOU, PIONEER USA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAD CONFLICTING INTERESTS IN
EVALUATING EACH MERGER BECAUSE EACH MEMBER OF ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS ALSO AN
OFFICER OF PIONEER PARENT. Each partnership requires a favorable vote of the
holders of a majority of its limited partnership interests to approve the merger
agreement, the merger amendment, the selection of special legal counsel for the
limited partners and that counsel's legal opinion, except that Parker & Parsley
91-A, L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P. each

   4


require the favorable vote of the holders, other than Pioneer USA, of 66 2/3% of
its limited partnership interests to approve those merger proposals. The
postponement or adjournment of the special meeting to solicit additional proxies
will require the favorable vote of a majority of the limited partnership
interests present or represented at a meeting where such vote is taken.


     IF YOU DO NOT SEND IN YOUR PROXY CARD OR VOTE AT THE SPECIAL MEETING FOR A
PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH YOU OWN AN INTEREST, IT WILL HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF YOU
VOTED AGAINST THE MERGER OF THAT PARTNERSHIP.

     You are requested to sign, vote and date the enclosed proxy card and return
it promptly in the enclosed envelope, even if you expect to be present at each
special meeting for the partnerships in which you own an interest. If you give a
proxy, you can revoke it at any time before the special meeting for the
partnership as to which you are revoking your proxy. If you are present at the
special meeting for a partnership in which you own an interest, you may withdraw
your proxy and vote in person.


     WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO VOTE ON THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH
YOU OWN AN INTEREST, PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO COMPLETE AND RETURN TO US THE
ENCLOSED CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS.


                                            BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,

                                            MARK L. WITHROW

                      PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES USA, INC.

                              IRVING, TEXAS 75039

                                                                          , 2001
Dear Limited Partners:


    We at Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc., together with our parent company,
Pioneer Natural Resources Company, desire to acquire 46 limited partnerships. We
are the managing or sole general partner of each of the partnerships. We are a
Delaware corporation and call ourselves Pioneer USA. We are a wholly owned
subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company, a Delaware corporation that we
call Pioneer Parent.


    If you and the other limited partners of a partnership approve the merger of
the partnership, the partnership will be merged with and into Pioneer USA, with
Pioneer USA surviving the merger. We call each partnership that merges into
Pioneer USA a participating partnership. Each partnership interest of a
participating partnership will be converted into shares of common stock, par
value $.01 per share, of Pioneer Parent. The number of shares of common stock
Pioneer Parent will offer for all partnership interests of a participating
partnership will be based on (1) the participating partnership's merger value
and (2) the average closing price of the Pioneer Parent common stock, as
reported by the New York Stock Exchange, for the ten trading days ending three
business days before the initial date scheduled for the special meeting for the
partnership. The merger value for a participating partnership is equal to the
sum of the present value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's
estimated oil and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of
March 31, 2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the
estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less
the cash distribution mailed on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its
partners.

    The merger value for each partnership is based on the reserve value of the
partnership's underlying properties, which reserve value has not been reduced
for general and administrative expenses. As a result, we believe the merger
value is essentially the same value or a higher value than the liquidation value
that might have been achieved by selling the partnership's property interests on
March 31, 2001, and liquidating the partnership at that time.
    We have retained Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc., which we call Stanger, to
issue an opinion regarding the fairness of the merger value to the limited
partners in connection with the merger of each partnership. The written opinion
of Stanger is contained in this document. You should read all of it carefully.

    We can complete the merger of each partnership only if the holders of its
limited partnership interests approve the merger agreement, the amendment to the
partnership agreement to permit the merger, the selection of special legal
counsel for the limited partners, and that counsel's legal opinion. This
document provides information about each proposed merger. This document also
constitutes a prospectus by Pioneer Parent for up to an aggregate of 5,947,940
shares of Pioneer Parent common stock to be issued in the proposed merger
transaction, based on an assumed average closing price of $18.00 per share of
Pioneer Parent common stock. Please give all of this information your careful
attention. Pioneer Parent's common stock is traded on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol "PXD." On August 21, 2001, the last reported sale

    YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT.  Whether or not you plan to attend the special
meeting for each partnership in which you own an interest, please take the time
to vote by completing and mailing to us the enclosed proxy card. This will not
prevent you from revoking your proxy at any time prior to the special meeting
for each partnership in which you own an interest or from voting your
partnership interests in person if you later choose to attend the special
meeting for each partnership in which you own an interest.
    We intend to mail certificates representing shares of Pioneer Parent common
stock to the partners of each partnership that approves the merger transaction
promptly after completing the merger of the partnership. Certificates
representing partnership interests will be automatically cancelled, and you will
not have to surrender your certificates to receive the Pioneer Parent common
stock.
    YOUR CERTIFICATE THAT YOU ARE NOT A FOREIGN PERSON, WHICH WE CALL A
CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS, IS IMPORTANT. Whether or not you plan to
vote on the merger of each partnership in which you own an interest, please take
the time to complete and return to us the enclosed certification of non-foreign
status. If we receive a properly completed certification of non-foreign status
from you, we will not withhold federal income taxes on the Pioneer Parent common
stock to be issued to you upon the merger of each partnership in which you own
an interest.

             Sincerely,

             Mark L. Withrow
             Director, Executive Vice President,
             General Counsel and Secretary

     YOU SHOULD CAREFULLY CONSIDER THE RISKS RELATING TO THE MERGER OF EACH
PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH YOU OWN AN INTEREST DESCRIBED IN "RISK FACTORS" BEGINNING
ON PAGE 22. THESE INCLUDE:

     - THE MERGER VALUE FOR THE PARTNERSHIP DETERMINES THE AMOUNT OF PIONEER
       PARENT COMMON STOCK YOU WILL RECEIVE IN THE MERGER OF THE PARTNERSHIP.
       PIONEER PARENT AND PIONEER USA DETERMINED EACH MERGER VALUE AND WILL NOT
       ADJUST IT FOR CHANGES IN PARTNERSHIP VALUE BEFORE THE MERGER IS
       COMPLETED.

     - YOU WERE NOT INDEPENDENTLY REPRESENTED IN ESTABLISHING THE TERMS OF ANY
       MERGER.

     - OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAD CONFLICTING INTERESTS IN EVALUATING EACH
       MERGER BECAUSE EACH MEMBER OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS ALSO AN OFFICER
       OF PIONEER PARENT.


     NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES
REGULATORS HAVE APPROVED ANY OF THE MERGERS, THE PIONEER PARENT COMMON STOCK TO
BE ISSUED IN EACH MERGER OR THE FAIRNESS OR THE MERITS OF EACH MERGER OR HAVE
DETERMINED WHETHER THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT IS ACCURATE OR
ADEQUATE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

     This proxy statement/prospectus is dated           , 2001. It is first
being mailed to the limited partners on or about           , 2001.

           QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP

Q:   HOW DO I VOTE?

A:   After reading this document, please fill out and sign your proxy card. Then
     mail your signed proxy card in the enclosed return envelope as soon as
     possible so that your partnership interests will be represented at the
     special meeting for each partnership in which you own an interest.

Q:   WHAT HAPPENS IF I DO NOT RETURN A PROXY CARD?

A:   The failure to return your proxy card will have the same effect as voting
     against the merger for each partnership in which you own an interest.

Q:   MAY I VOTE IN PERSON?

A:   Yes. You may attend the special meeting for each partnership in which you
     own an interest and vote your partnership interests in person, rather than
     signing and mailing your proxy card.

Q:   MAY I CHANGE MY VOTE AFTER I HAVE MAILED MY SIGNED PROXY CARD?


A:   Yes. You may revoke your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the
     special meeting for each partnership in which you own an interest by
     following the instructions beginning on page 74. You then may either change
     your vote by sending in a new proxy card or by attending the special
     meeting for each partnership in which you own an interest and voting in
     person.


Q:   IF MY PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS ARE HELD IN A RETIREMENT ACCOUNT BY A
     CUSTODIAN, WILL MY CUSTODIAN VOTE MY PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS FOR ME?

A:   Your custodian will not be able to vote your partnership interests. You
     should refer to the instructions included on your proxy card to vote your
     partnership interests.

Q:   SHOULD I SEND IN MY CERTIFICATES FOR MY PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS NOW?


A:   No. If the merger of a partnership in which you own an interest is
     completed, your certificates representing your partnership interests in
     that partnership will be cancelled without further action by you. We will
     mail certificates representing Pioneer Parent common stock issued to you on
     completion of the merger of that partnership.


Q:   AM I ENTITLED TO APPRAISAL OR DISSENTERS' RIGHTS?

A:   No. You will not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection
     with the merger of any partnership in which you own an interest.

Q:   WHAT HAPPENS TO MY FUTURE CASH DISTRIBUTIONS?


A:   Since your partnership interests in participating partnerships will be
     cancelled upon completion of the merger of each such partnership, you will
     not receive any future distributions on those interests. Pioneer Parent's
     board of directors did not declare dividends to the holders of Pioneer
     Parent common stock during 1999, 2000 or the six months ended June 30,
     2001. The amount of dividends, if any, paid by Pioneer Parent in the future
     will depend on business conditions, its financial condition and earnings,
     and other factors. Pioneer Parent's common stock is publicly traded, so if
     you prefer to receive cash you may sell the common stock you receive in the
     public markets.


Q:   WHO CAN HELP ANSWER MY QUESTIONS?

A:   If you have any questions about the merger of any of the partnerships in
     which you own an interest, please call Pioneer Parent's information agent,
     D.F. King & Co., Inc., at (XXX) XXX-XXXX.

                                    SUMMARY


     To understand the merger of each partnership in which you own an interest
and to obtain a more detailed description of the legal terms of each merger, you
should carefully read this entire document, the related partnership supplements,
and the documents described in "Where You Can Find More Information" on the
inside front cover page of this document. For definitions of oil and gas terms
used in this document, see "Commonly Used Oil and Gas Terms" on page 98.


     When we use the terms "Pioneer USA," "we," "us" or "our," we are referring
to your sole or managing general partner, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.,
including its consolidated subsidiaries and predecessors, unless the context
otherwise requires. When we use the term "Pioneer Parent," we are referring to
Pioneer Natural Resources Company. When we use the term "merger proposals," we
are referring to the proposals to approve the merger agreement, the merger
amendment, the selection of special legal counsel for the limited partners and
the legal opinion of that counsel. When we use the term "participating
partnership," we are referring to each partnership the limited partners of which
approve the merger proposals.

                                  THE MERGERS

     Pioneer Parent proposes to acquire each partnership by merging each
partnership into us. We will be the survivor of each merger. The partnership
interests of each participating partnership, other than our interests, will be
converted into Pioneer Parent common stock.


     The number of shares of common stock that Pioneer Parent will offer for all
partnership interests of a participating partnership will be based on (1) the
merger value for the partnership as described below and (2) the average closing
price of the Pioneer Parent common stock, as reported by the New York Stock
Exchange, for the ten trading days ending three business days before the initial
date scheduled for the special meeting for the partnership. Pioneer Parent and
Pioneer USA determined the merger value for each partnership primarily based on
the present value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's
estimated oil and gas reserves at March 31, 2001, which was reviewed by
Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. as of March 31, 2001. Pioneer Parent and
Pioneer USA used the following parameters in calculating the present value of
estimated future net revenues: (1) a five-year New York Mercantile Exchange, or
NYMEX, futures price for oil and gas as of March 30, 2001, with prices held
constant after year five at the year-five price, less standard industry
adjustments, (2) historical operating costs adjusted only for those items
affected by commodity prices, such as production taxes and ad valorem taxes, and
(3) a 10.0% discount rate. For 2001, the oil and gas prices were based on the
average NYMEX futures price for the nine-month period beginning on April 1, 2001
and ending December 31, 2001. See the table on page 7 for the NYMEX futures
prices. See "Method of Determining Merger Value For Each Partnership and Amount
of Pioneer Parent Common Stock Offered -- Components of Merger Value For Each
Partnership" on page 55 of this document for information on the basis of
pricing. In addition, each partnership's merger value includes its net working
capital as of March 31, 2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve
value, of the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the
partnerships and less the cash distribution mailed on July 13, 2001, by the
partnership to its partners. The Pioneer Parent common stock will be allocated
among the partners of a participating partnership based on the liquidation
provisions of the partnership agreement of the partnership.



     On pages 5 and 6 of this document is a table that shows important
information about each partnership, including the amount of Pioneer Parent
common stock that will be offered in the merger for each $1,000 of initial
investment for that partnership. For purposes of illustration in this document,
we have calculated the number of shares to be issued based on an assumed average
closing price of $18.00 per share of Pioneer Parent common stock. Prior to the
date of the special meeting for each partnership, we will update the number of
shares to be issued using the actual average closing price of Pioneer Parent
common stock for the ten trading days ending three business days before the
initial date of the special meeting. You may call D. F. King & Co., Inc. after
                 , 2001 at 1-800-XXX-XXXX to learn the final number of shares
you will receive.


                                        1
   16

     Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA agreed to structure the transaction as a
merger of each partnership instead of as a property sale followed by liquidation
of each partnership because the merger will:

     - require fewer legal documents;

     - reduce filing fees and other costs; and

     - result in the same amount of Pioneer Parent common stock to the limited
       partners as would a property sale and liquidation using the same
       commodity prices.

     Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA expect to sign the merger agreement as soon
as the Securities and Exchange Commission declares effective under the
Securities Act of 1933 the registration statement that includes this document.
However, if the oil and gas commodity prices materially increase or decrease
from the prices used in calculating the merger value for any partnership,
Pioneer Parent or Pioneer USA might abandon the proposed merger of the
partnership before submitting the merger proposals to the limited partners for
approval. In addition, Pioneer Parent may abandon the proposed merger of any or
all of the partnerships at any time prior to the special meeting for any such
partnership for any reason including changes in, among other things, the price
of Pioneer Parent common stock, the market prices for oil and gas generally or
the oil and gas industry generally.

Irving, Texas 75039
(972) 444-9001

     Pioneer Parent is a large, independent exploration and production company
with total proved reserves equivalent to 3.8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas,
or 628 million barrels of oil. Pioneer Parent's proved reserves are balanced
equally between natural gas and oil, and Pioneer Parent has a
reserves-to-production ratio of 14 years. Sixty-seven percent of Pioneer
Parent's proved reserves are in three U.S. areas: the Hugoton gas field, the
West Panhandle gas field, and the Spraberry oil and natural gas field. Pioneer
Parent also has properties in East Texas, the Gulf Coast, and the offshore Gulf
of Mexico as well as in Argentina, Canada, South Africa, and Gabon. Pioneer
Parent seeks to increase net asset value and production by combining lower risk
development drilling with higher-risk exploration activity.


     Pioneer Parent's common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange and
the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol "PXD." Pioneer Parent prepared this
document to offer its common stock to you. See "Pioneer Parent" on page 84 of
this document for more information about Pioneer Parent.


     Pioneer Parent files annual, quarterly and special reports, proxy
statements and other information with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

THE PARTNERSHIPS
c/o Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.

5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite 1400

Irving, Texas 75039
(972) 444-9001


     The name of each partnership is found in the table beginning on page 5.
Each partnership produces and sells oil and gas. Each partnership was formed to
provide the general and limited partners cash flow from operations and, except
for Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-A, Ltd., Parker & Parsley Producing
Properties 87-B, Ltd. and Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 88-A, L.P., a
one time deduction for intangible drilling and development costs. See the
supplement to this document for each of your partnerships for specific
information about the partnership, including the merger value as a


                                        2
   17

multiple of distributions for the past four quarterly distributions including
the distribution in July 2001. As a result of each partnership's oil and gas
operations, each partnership distributes cash to the limited and general
partners from the partnership's net cash flows. These distributions are made
quarterly, unless sufficient cash is not available.


     The partnerships' properties consist of interests in approximately 1,100
oil and gas wells that are located primarily in the Spraberry field of the
Permian Basin of West Texas. We operate approximately 92% of the partnerships'
wells. At December 31, 2000, the partnerships' combined total proved reserves
were 33.6 million barrels of oil equivalent, or MMBOE, consisting of 27.3
million barrels, or MMBbls, of oil and natural gas liquids and 37.6 billion
cubic feet, or Bcf, of natural gas. Approximately 93% of the reserves are
attributable to the limited partners' partnership interests, excluding
partnership interests we directly own. Approximately 81% of the total proved
reserves attributable to the properties are oil and liquids, and 19% are natural
gas, based on six Mcf of gas being equivalent to one Bbl of oil. See "The
Partnerships" on page 86 of this document for more information about the
partnerships.


                                  RISK FACTORS

     You should carefully consider the risks relating to the merger of each
partnership in which you own an interest described in "Risk Factors" beginning
on page 22 of this document. These include:

     - The merger value for the partnership determines the amount of Pioneer
       Parent common stock you will receive in the merger of the partnership.
       Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA determined each merger value and will not
       adjust it for changes in partnership value before the merger is
       completed.

     - You were not independently represented in establishing the terms of any
       merger.

     - Our board of directors had conflicting interests in evaluating each
       merger because each member of our board of directors is also an officer
       of Pioneer Parent.

     - Repurchase offers in 2001 by each of the six partnerships with a
       repurchase obligation were higher than the merger value for the
       partnership.

     - Limited partners who become Pioneer Parent stockholders will own stock in
       a corporation rather than a limited partnership interest in a limited
       partnership, resulting in a fundamental change in the nature of their
       investments.

                       AMOUNT OF INITIAL LIMITED PARTNER
                               INVESTMENT REPAID


     The table on pages 5 and 6 contains the following summary information for
each partnership:


     - the merger value attributable to:

       - Pioneer USA's partnership interests, whether general or limited;

       - the partnership interests of the unaffiliated limited partners of the
         nonmanaging general partner, if any, of each partnership;

       - the limited partners' partnership interests, including the estimated
         number of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock offered to the limited
         partners other than Pioneer USA;

     - for each $1,000 initial limited partner investment in the partnership:

       - the estimated number of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock offered;

       - the merger value;

       - the total historical cash distributions through July 31, 2001; and

       - the total amount of initial investment by the limited partners that has
         been repaid, after giving effect to the merger of the partnership,
         stated in dollars and as a percentage; and


     - the reserve value attributable to the limited partners other than Pioneer
       USA per barrel of oil equivalent, or BOE.

     This information is based on assumptions, including the following:


     - Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA estimated the present value of estimated
       future net revenues for each partnership from the estimated reserves for
       each partnership at March 31, 2001.



     - Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA used the following parameters in
       calculating the present value of estimated future net revenues: (1) a
       five-year NYMEX futures price for oil and gas as of March 30, 2001, with
       prices held constant after year five at the year-five price, less
       standard industry adjustments, (2) historical operating costs adjusted
       only for those items affected by commodity prices, such as production
       taxes and ad valorem taxes, and (3) a discount rate of 10.0%.



     - Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. reviewed these estimates of each
      partnership's reserves as of March 31, 2001. Williamson's review included
      testing and evaluating the reserve information for all of the properties
      of each partnership. The review is more comprehensive than an audit, which
      involves testing and evaluating the reserve information of a
      representative subgroup of properties of each partnership.


     See "Method of Determining Merger Value for Each Partnership and Amount of
Pioneer Parent Common Stock Offered -- Components of Merger Value for Each
Partnership."


     You should read the following table together with the detailed information
in Table 2 and Table 3 of Appendix A to this document, including the footnotes
to those tables. For purposes of illustration in this document, we have
calculated the number of shares to be issued based on an assumed average closing
price of $18.00 per share of Pioneer Parent common stock. Prior to the date of
the special meeting for each partnership, we will update the number of shares to
be issued using the actual average closing price of Pioneer Parent common stock
for the ten trading days ending three business days before the initial date
scheduled for the special meeting.


     Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
$1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial investment
for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should not assume that
the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the value or amount
attributable to a single unit investment. See Table 1 of Appendix A to this
document for the initial subscription price for each unit.

                         BENEFITS AND DISADVANTAGES TO
                              THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     We believe the merger of each partnership provides the following benefits
to the limited partners of the partnership:


     Liquidity.  None of the partnership interests of any of the partnerships is
traded on a national stock exchange or in any other significant market. No
liquid market exists for interests in any of the partnerships. Although some
partnership interests are occasionally sold in private or an informal secondary
market for limited partner securities, we believe the potential buyers in such
transactions are few and the prices generally reflect a significant discount for
illiquidity. See Table 15 of Appendix A for historical information about recent
trades of partnership interests in each partnership. Repurchase obligations
exist in only a few of the partnerships and are limited in both amount and price
by formula in the partnership agreements. See Table 8 of Appendix A for
repurchase information.



     The merger of each partnership provides liquidity to the limited partners
of that partnership at a price based on oil and gas reserve values, not on
limited market demand for illiquid partnership interests. All limited partners
of a participating partnership will receive Pioneer Parent common stock in
exchange for their partnership interests shortly after completion of the merger
of the partnership. Shares of Pioneer Parent common stock are freely
transferable and listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock
Exchange. On April 16, 2001, the last full trading day prior to the announcement
of the proposed merger of each partnership, the last reported sales price of
Pioneer Parent common stock, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange, was
$17.27. On August 21, 2001, that price was $18.21 per share.



     Oil and Gas Investment Vehicle.  For those limited partners who do not wish
to liquidate their investment into cash but wish to remain invested in the oil
and gas industry, we believe Pioneer Parent's common stock provides an
attractive oil and gas investment vehicle because:


- Expansion and Balancing of Reserves.  The limited partners will have the
  opportunity to benefit from Pioneer Parent's efforts (1) to expand its reserve
  base through acquisitions and development or exploratory drilling, and (2) to
  maintain a strategic balance between oil and natural gas reserves. At December
  31, 2000, Pioneer Parent's reserve mix was 50% oil and NGLs and 50% natural
  gas compared to the combined partnerships' reserve mix of 81% oil and NGLs and
  19% natural gas at such date.


- Geographic Diversification and Large Oil and Gas Reserve Base.  Pioneer
  Parent's oil and gas reserves are substantially larger and more geographically
  diversified than the properties of any partnership individually. This
  increased size and the resulting consolidation of operations spread the risk
  of an investment in Pioneer Parent over a broader group of assets and reduces
  the dependence of the investment upon the performance of any particular asset
  or group of assets, such as assets in the same geographical area.



     Liquidation Value.  The merger value for each partnership is based on the
value of the underlying properties, which we believe is essentially the same
value or a higher value than could be achieved by selling the partnership's
property interests and liquidating the partnership at that time. In addition, we
believe that the value of Pioneer Parent common stock to be distributed to each
limited partner in the merger of each partnership is higher than what the
limited partners would otherwise receive over the life of the partnership,
assuming the same oil and gas commodity prices and operating costs as used to
determine the reserve value for each partnership and giving effect to the time
value of money, for the following reasons:



- The partnership agreement for each partnership requires cash distributions to
  be reduced by general and administrative expenses allocable to the
  partnership. The merger value for each partnership reflects a liquidation
  value that has not been reduced for general and administrative expenses.


- The merger value for each partnership is based primarily upon the reserve
  value for the partnership, which was determined using recent NYMEX futures oil
  and gas prices that are, on average, higher than historical oil and gas
  prices. It is likely that actual oil and gas prices will vary often and
  possibly widely, as has been demonstrated historically, from the prices used

                                        8
   23

  to prepare these estimates. Although future oil and gas prices could be higher
  than the prices on March 30, 2001 which were used in calculating the merger
  value for each partnership, using a fixed date for determining the merger
  value for each partnership eliminates the potential loss in value that could
  occur if oil and gas prices decline.

     Acceleration of Realization of Value.  Pioneer Parent's common stock
provides the limited partners of each participating partnership with liquidity
earlier than if the limited partners remain in the partnership and receive the
expected ordinary cash distributions from oil and gas production. Because each
partnership's properties are mature producing properties, we believe that
production from those properties will continue to decline at the rate predicted
in the partnership's oil and gas engineering reserve reports. Accordingly, cash
distributions from each partnership are also expected to decline, subject to
variation for changes in oil and gas prices.

     Elimination of Partnership Tax Reports. The merger of each participating
partnership will eliminate the limited partners' Schedule K-1 tax reports for
the partnership for tax years after the merger occurs. This is expected to
simplify the limited partners' individual tax return preparation and reduce
preparation costs.

     We also considered the following disadvantages of the merger of each
partnership:


- Limited partners of each partnership will own stock in a corporation, which is
  a different investment objective from investing in a partnership designed to
  generate recurring cash distributions.


- Limited partners who become Pioneer Parent stockholders will no longer receive
  partnership cash distributions.


- Pioneer Parent will engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of
  new oil and gas properties that will expose limited partners of each
  partnership to all of the attendant risks associated with such activities.
  Each partnership owns producing properties and does not conduct drilling
  activities. Pioneer Parent's activities may, therefore, involve greater risks
  than the activities of each partnership.



- Increases in prices for oil and gas may have a more direct effect on limited
  partners of each partnership due to the immediate effect on potential cash
  distributions.



- Limited partners who become Pioneer Parent stockholders will be subject to the
  volatility of the market value of Pioneer Parent common stock. Market factors
  that may affect the common stock price will include factors other than those
  that affect the value of a limited partner's interest in a partnership, such
  as general market conditions. Accordingly, the price for which a limited
  partner may be able to sell the Pioneer Parent common stock received in the
  merger may be lower than the value used to determine the number of shares
  issued in the merger.


- Limited partners who become Pioneer Parent stockholders may have to recognize
  a taxable gain on the transaction.


- Limited partners of each participating partnership will pay their pro rata
  share of the expenses and fees to be incurred in connection with the merger of
  each partnership.


                               FRACTIONAL SHARES

     Pioneer Parent will not issue fractional shares to any limited partner upon
completion of the merger of any partnership. Instead, Pioneer Parent will round
any fractional shares of Pioneer Parent common stock up to the nearest whole
share.

                       RECOMMENDATION TO LIMITED PARTNERS

                                 (SEE PAGE 41)



     On August 20, 2001, our board of directors unanimously determined that the
merger of each partnership in which you own an interest is advisable, fair to
you, as an unaffiliated limited partner, and in your best interests. Our board
recommends that you, as an unaffiliated limited partner, vote for the merger
proposals for each partnership in which you own an interest. Although our board
of directors has attempted to fulfill its fiduciary duties to you, our board of
directors had conflicting interests in evaluating each merger because each
member of our board of directors is also an officer of Pioneer Parent.

                                    FAIRNESS


     In deciding to approve the merger of each partnership on August 20, 2001,
our board of directors decided that each merger of a partnership in which you
own an interest is advisable, fair to you as an unaffiliated limited partner,
and in your best interests based on a variety of factors. These factors include:


- the form and amount of consideration offered to you;

- the comparison of the amount of Pioneer Parent common stock offered in each
  merger to the future cash distributions otherwise expected as oil and gas
  production continues to decline and general and administrative expenses
  continue to be incurred;

- the elimination after the merger of each participating partnership of its
  limited partners' tax preparation costs relating to partnership tax
  information;

- the belief that the price offered by Pioneer Parent is a competitive price
  because of:

  - the commodity pricing used in determining the merger value for each
    partnership;

  - Pioneer USA's position as operator of most of each partnership's wells; and


  - Pioneer USA's significant ownership of nearby properties;


- the fairness opinion from Stanger.

                     FAIRNESS OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR

                                 (SEE PAGE 41)



     Stanger has issued a fairness opinion dated August 20, 2001, that, subject
to the qualifications expressed in the opinion, the merger value for each
partnership and the allocation of the merger value of the partnership (1) to the
limited partners of the partnership as a group, (2) to the general partners of
the partnership as a group, (3) to Pioneer USA as the managing or sole general
partner of the partnership, (4) to the unaffiliated limited partners of the
partnership as a group and (5) to the unaffiliated limited partners of the
nonmanaging general partner, if any, of the partnership as a group, is fair to
the unaffiliated limited partners of the partnership and the unaffiliated
limited partners of the nonmanaging general partner, if any, of the partnership,
from a financial point of view. The full text of the form of written opinion of
Stanger is attached to this document as Appendix D. You should read all of it
carefully. THE OPINION OF STANGER IS DIRECTED TO OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS. IT IS
NOT A RECOMMENDATION TO YOU ABOUT HOW YOU SHOULD VOTE ON MATTERS RELATING TO THE
PROPOSED MERGER OF ANY PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH YOU OWN AN INTEREST.


                          MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME
                                TAX CONSEQUENCES

                                 (SEE PAGE 60)


     You will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between
(1) the value of the Pioneer Parent common stock you receive in the merger of
each partnership in which you own interests and (2) your adjusted tax basis in
your partnership interests in that participating partnership. Your gain or loss
will be capital or ordinary depending on the nature of the assets held by each
participating partnership in which you own an interest and the amount of
depletion and intangible drilling and development costs that must be recaptured.
You must calculate your ordinary and capital gain or loss separately for each
partnership in which you own an interest.


     TAX MATTERS ARE VERY COMPLICATED. THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF EACH
MERGER OF A PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH YOU OWN AN INTEREST WILL DEPEND ON THE FACTS OF
YOUR OWN SITUATION. WE URGE YOU TO SEEK TAX ADVICE FOR A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF
THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EACH MERGER TO YOU.


                      CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS

     YOUR CERTIFICATE THAT YOU ARE NOT A FOREIGN PERSON, WHICH WE CALL A
CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS, IS IMPORTANT.  Whether or not you plan to
vote on the merger of each partnership in which you own an interest, please take
the time to complete and return to us the enclosed certification of non-foreign
status. If we receive a properly completed certification of non-foreign status
from you, we will not withhold federal income taxes on the Pioneer Parent common
stock to be issued to you upon the merger of each partnership in which you own
an interest.

                                        10
   25

     If we, on behalf of a partnership, are required to withhold federal income
taxes from the Pioneer Parent common stock to be issued to you upon the merger
of each partnership in which you own an interest, we will be entitled to deduct
and withhold such taxes from the Pioneer Parent common stock otherwise payable
to you. If amounts are withheld, we may, in our sole discretion:

- sell any Pioneer Parent common stock withheld from you and use the sale
  proceeds to pay the required withholding taxes;

- hold any Pioneer Parent common stock withheld from you as security until you
  satisfy the required withholding taxes, at which time the withheld Pioneer
  Parent common stock will be released to you; or

- take such other reasonable action, at your expense, as is required or
  appropriate to satisfy the required withholding taxes.


     Any amounts withheld as described above will be treated as having been paid
to you.


                           RECORD DATE; VOTING POWER


     You may vote at the special meeting for each partnership in which you own
an interest if you owned partnership interests of record as of the close of
business on             , 2001. We call this date the record date. For each
partnership in which you own a partnership interest, you may cast one vote
representing your percentage of partnership interests in that partnership. The
percentage of partnership interests that you own is determined by comparing the
amount of:


- your, or your predecessor's, initial investment, including any additional
  assessments, in the partnership; to

- the total investment of all partners, including any additional assessments, in
  the partnership.

     YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT.  Whether or not you plan to attend the special
meeting for each partnership in which you own an interest, please take the time
to vote by completing and mailing to us the enclosed proxy card. This will not
prevent you from revoking your proxy at any time prior to the special meeting
for each partnership in which you own an interest or from voting your
partnership interests in person if you later choose to attend the special
meeting for each partnership in which you own an interest.

                  PARTNER VOTE REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE MERGERS

     The favorable vote of the holders of a majority of the limited partnership
interests in a partnership is required to approve the merger proposals for that
partnership, except that Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B,
L.P. each require the favorable vote of the holders, other than Pioneer USA, of
66 2/3% of its limited partnership interests to approve the merger proposals.


     We are generally entitled under the partnership agreements to vote
partnership interests we hold as limited partners at the special meeting for
each partnership in which we hold an interest. See "The Special
Meetings -- Record Date; Voting Rights and Proxies" on page 73 of this document.
We plan to vote all our partnership interests for the merger proposals. The
voting interest that we hold in each partnership is found in Table 6 of Appendix
A.



     Except as set forth above and in "Ownership of Partnership Interests" on
page 79 of this document, none of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA, or, to the
knowledge of Pioneer USA, any of their directors or executive officers, or any
associate or subsidiary of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA or any such director or
officer, beneficially owns any partnership interests of any partnership or is
otherwise entitled to vote any partnership interests.


     If limited partners of a partnership approve the merger agreement, but do
not approve the merger amendment, or vice versa, the partnership will not be
able to merge. LIMITED PARTNERS WHO WANT THEIR PARTNERSHIP TO PARTICIPATE IN THE
MERGER SHOULD VOTE FOR EACH OF THE MERGER PROPOSALS.

                           CONDITIONS TO EACH MERGER

                                 (SEE PAGE 69)


     We will complete the merger of each partnership only if the conditions of
the merger agreement are satisfied or, if permitted, waived. These conditions
include:

- the limited partners' adoption and approval of the merger proposals;

                                        11
   26

- the absence of any law or court order that prohibits the merger; and

- the absence of any lawsuit challenging the legality or any aspect of the
  merger.


     So long as the law allows us to do so, Pioneer Parent and we may choose to
complete a merger of any partnership even though a condition has not been
satisfied if the limited partners have approved the merger proposals. Pioneer
Parent and we may complete the merger of any one or some of the partnerships for
which the listed conditions have been satisfied, even if limited partners in
other partnerships do not approve the merger proposals. If we choose to waive a
material condition to a merger, we will disclose that waiver to the limited
partners of the affected partnership and resolicit proxies for that merger.


                   TERMINATION OF THE MERGER OF A PARTNERSHIP

                                 (SEE PAGE 70)


     Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA may jointly terminate the merger agreement,
for any or all of the partnerships, at any time, even after limited partner
approval. Either Pioneer Parent or Pioneer USA may terminate the merger
agreement for any or all of the partnerships in some circumstances, including
the following:

- the limited partners of a partnership fail to approve that partnership's
  merger; or

- if any of the other parties is in material breach of the merger agreement.

     In addition, (1) Pioneer USA may terminate the merger agreement for any
partnership, if Pioneer USA determines that termination of the merger agreement
is required for its board of directors to comply with its fiduciary duties and
(2) Pioneer Parent may abandon the proposed merger of any or all of the
partnerships at any time prior to the special meeting for any such partnership
for any reason including changes in, among other things, the price of Pioneer
Parent common stock, the market prices for oil and gas generally or the oil and
gas industry generally.

                  EFFECT OF DEBT OWED BY A LIMITED PARTNER TO
                            PIONEER USA ON AMOUNT OF
                   PIONEER PARENT COMMON STOCK TO BE RECEIVED
                             BY THE LIMITED PARTNER
     If a limited partner is indebted to Pioneer USA for any portion of the
limited partner's original investment in the partnership, Pioneer USA plans to
apply the Pioneer Parent common stock that would otherwise be distributed to the
limited partner upon completion of the merger of the partnership against that
limited partner's indebtedness. If a limited partner's indebtedness to Pioneer
USA is less than the merger value allocated to limited partnership interests
held by the limited partner, the limited partner will receive Pioneer Parent
common stock equal to the amount by which such merger value exceeds such
indebtedness. If a limited partner's indebtedness to Pioneer USA is greater than
the merger value allocated to the limited partnership interests held by the
limited partner, Pioneer USA may collect the deficiency from the limited
partner.

                     EFFECTS OF THE MERGER OF A PARTNERSHIP
                    ON ITS LIMITED PARTNERS WHO DO NOT VOTE
                             IN FAVOR OF THE MERGER

     You will be bound by the merger of a partnership in which you own interests
if the limited partners in your partnership vote a majority, or 66 2/3% for
Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P., of their
partnership interests in favor of the merger, even if you vote against the
merger. If the merger of your partnership occurs, you will be entitled to
receive only an amount of Pioneer Parent common stock based on the merger value
for your partnership interests. You will not have appraisal, dissenters' or
similar rights in connection with the merger, even if you vote against the
merger.

                     FUTURE OF A PARTNERSHIP THAT DOES NOT
                           PARTICIPATE IN THE MERGER

                                 (SEE PAGE 64)


     If your partnership does not participate in the merger of that partnership
for any reason, that partnership will remain in existence. Some reasons your
partnership might not participate in the merger are (1) that the limited
partners vote against the merger, (2) that a condition in the merger agreement
is not satisfied, or (3) that

                                        12
   27

Pioneer Parent or we exercise a termination right with respect to the merger for
that partnership.

     At about the same time that we mail certificates representing shares of
Pioneer Parent common stock to the partners of each participating partnership in
payment of the merger value for that partnership, we will mail any cash
distributions that were delayed for administrative purposes prior to the
completion of the merger of each participating partnership to the partners of
each nonparticipating partnership.

     We have not formulated an alternative business plan for any
nonparticipating partnership. The business objectives of each nonparticipating
partnership will continue as they are. We plan to continue to manage each
nonparticipating partnership and operate it in accordance with the terms of its
current partnership agreement. Each nonparticipating partnership will continue
to operate as a separate legal entity with its own assets and liabilities.
Distributions from any nonparticipating partnership are expected to continue to
decline since its production revenues are expected to continue to decline more
quickly than its production costs. Regardless of whether any nonparticipating
partnership distributes cash, limited partners must continue to include their
share of partnership income and loss in their individual tax returns.

     The board of directors of each of Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA will
decide what, if any, actions Pioneer Parent or Pioneer USA, respectively, will
take regarding any nonparticipating partnership. Potential activities might
include a tender offer for partnership interests of limited partners or a
proposal to acquire the assets of, or merge with, one or more of the
nonparticipating partnerships. The proposal may be on terms similar to or
different from those of the mergers described in this document.

                               EXPENSES AND FEES


     The expenses and fees to be incurred in connection with the merger of each
partnership are expected to be approximately $2.0 million in total. Each
participating partnership will pay its pro rata share, based on its reserve
value, of those estimated expenses and fees. Pioneer Parent will pay the pro
rata share of each nonparticipating partnership's estimated expenses and fees.
Pioneer Parent has also agreed to pay any expenses and fees actually incurred in
excess of $2.0 million and if Pioneer Parent terminates or abandons the merger
as to any partnership, any expenses or fees allocated to that partnership.
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA have reduced each partnership's merger value by
that partnership's pro rata share of the estimated expenses and fees.



                            REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS


     No federal or state regulatory requirements must be satisfied or approvals
obtained in connection with the merger of any of the partnerships as described
in this document, except (1) filing a registration statement that includes this
document with the SEC and obtaining the SEC's declaration that the registration
statement is effective under the Securities Act of 1933, and (2) filing
certificates of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and
the Secretary of the State of the State of Texas.

                              SIMILAR TRANSACTIONS

     During March 2001, Pioneer Parent offered to acquire all of the direct oil
and gas interests owned by some former officers and employees of Pioneer Parent
and Pioneer USA in properties in which Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA own
interests. The merger value for the direct oil and gas interests was equal to
the present value of estimated future net revenues from the oil and gas reserves
attributable to the interests, as of March 31, 2001. In determining the present
value, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA used (1) a five-year NYMEX futures price
for oil and gas as of March 19, 2001 with prices held constant after year five
at the year five price, less standard industry adjustments, (2) historical
operating costs adjusted only for those items affected by commodity prices, such
as production taxes and ad valorem taxes, and (3) a 13.5% discount rate. The
consideration offered in the purchases of the direct oil and gas interests was
all cash since offering and registering Pioneer Parent common stock in those
purchases was cost-prohibitive due to the small size of such transactions.

     Additionally, in December 2000, Pioneer Parent received the approval of the
partners of 13 employee limited partnerships to merge with Pioneer USA for total
merger consideration of

                                        13
   28

$2.0 million. Of the total merger consideration, $0.3 million was paid to
current Pioneer Parent employees. The merger value of each employee partnership
was equal to the sum of the present value of estimated future net revenues from
the partnership's estimated oil and gas reserves and its net working capital, in
each case as of September 30, 2000, less the cash distributions on October 15,
2000 and November 15, 2000, by that partnership to its partners. In determining
the present value, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA used (1) a five-year NYMEX
futures price for oil and gas as of August 25, 2000 with prices held constant
after year five at the year five price, less standard industry adjustments, (2)
historical operating costs adjusted only for those items affected by commodity
prices, such as production taxes and ad valorem taxes, and (3) a 13.5% discount
rate. The consideration paid in the mergers of the employee limited partnerships
was all cash. Using the same parameters as described above, Pioneer Parent
purchased all of the direct oil and gas interests held by Scott D. Sheffield,
its chairman of the board of directors and chief executive officer, for $0.2
million during October 2000. As with the purchases of the direct oil and gas
interests described above, offering and registering Pioneer Parent common stock
in those mergers was cost-prohibitive due to the small size of such
transactions.


     In each of the transactions referred to above Pioneer Parent paid all of
the expenses of acquiring the direct oil and gas interests and of merging the
employee limited partnerships into Pioneer USA. This is because of the small
size of the transactions and the absence of significant external costs to the
transactions. In the proposed transaction Pioneer Parent will pay the pro rata
share of each nonparticipating partnership's estimated expenses and fees. The
participating partnerships will pay their pro rata share of the expenses and
fees.


                               THIRD PARTY OFFERS

                                 (SEE PAGE 65)


     We will consider any offers from third parties to purchase any partnership
or its assets. Those who wish to make an offer for any partnership or its assets
must demonstrate to our reasonable satisfaction their financial ability and
willingness to complete such a transaction. Before reviewing non-public
information about a partnership, a third party will need to enter into a
customary confidentiality agreement. Offers should be at prices and on terms
that are fair to the partners of the partnership and more favorable to the
unaffiliated limited partners than the prices and terms proposed in the merger
for that partnership described in this document. Pioneer Parent has the right to
match or top any such offer. In addition, any such offer would be subject to our
right to continue operation of the properties. Since first announcing our
willingness to consider third party offers in September 1999, we have not
received any third party offer for any partnership or its assets.


     Other than announcing that we will consider third party offers for any
partnership or its assets, we have not actively solicited bids from third
parties.

                           INFORMATION (SEE PAGE 77)



     On April 16, 2001, the last full trading day before the public announcement
of the proposed merger of each partnership, Pioneer Parent common stock closed
at $17.27 per share. On August 21, 2001, Pioneer Parent common stock closed at
$18.21 per share.


     No liquid market exists for interests in any of the partnerships. See Table
15 of Appendix A for historical information about recent trades per $1,000
initial limited partner investment in each partnership and Table 7 of Appendix A
for the average historical quarterly cash distributions per $1,000 initial
limited partner investment for each partnership.

     SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA OF PIONEER PARENT


     The following table sets forth summary unaudited pro forma combined
financial data of Pioneer Parent that is presented to give effect to the merger
of each of the partnerships. The information was prepared based on the following
assumptions:

     - The merger of each partnership will be accounted for as a purchase
       business combination under generally accepted accounting principles.

     - The income statement data is presented as if the merger of each
       partnership had been consummated on January 1, 2000.


     - The balance sheet data is presented as if the merger of each partnership
       had been consummated on June 30, 2001.


     You should consider the following:

     - The unaudited pro forma combined financial data are not necessarily
       indicative of the results of operations or the financial position of
       Pioneer Parent that would have occurred had the merger of each
       partnership in which you own an interest been consummated on January 1,
       2000, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of operations
       or financial position of Pioneer Parent.

     - The unaudited pro forma combined revenue and expense data exclude the
       cost savings expected to be realized through the consolidation of
       operations of Pioneer Parent and each partnership and the elimination of
       duplicate expenses.

     The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read
together with (1) the historical consolidated financial statements of Pioneer

                    SUMMARY OIL AND GAS RESERVE INFORMATION


     The following table sets forth summary information on Pioneer Parent's and
the combined partnerships' proved oil and gas reserves at December 31, 2000, and
the summary pro forma combined information of Pioneer Parent on proved oil and
gas reserves assuming the merger of each partnership had taken place on December
31, 2000. Pioneer Parent's and the combined partnerships' historical and Pioneer
Parent's pro forma combined proved oil and gas reserve information set forth
below and incorporated by reference in this document are only estimates based
primarily on reports prepared by Pioneer Parent's engineers for Pioneer Parent's
proved reserves and independent petroleum engineers for the combined
partnerships' proved reserves as of December 31, 2000. The reserve information
as of December 31, 2000 is based on the prices of oil and gas as of that time.
The discounted future net cash flows set forth or incorporated by reference in
this document should not be considered as the current market value of the
estimated oil and gas reserves attributable to Pioneer Parent's, the combined
partnerships' or any partnership's properties. Under the applicable requirements
of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the estimated discounted future net
cash flows from proved reserves are based on prices and costs as of the date of
the estimate, while actual future prices and costs may be materially higher or
lower.

                           COMPARATIVE PER SHARE DATA


     The following table summarizes the per share information for Pioneer Parent
and the per $1,000 limited partner investment for the combined partnerships on a
historical, equivalent pro forma combined and pro forma combined basis. The pro
forma information gives effect to the merger of each partnership accounted for
by Pioneer Parent as a purchase business combination. You should read this
information together with the historical financial statements (1) included in
the annual reports on Form 10-K and other information that Pioneer Parent has
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and (2) included in the
supplement to this document for each partnership. See "Where You Can Find More
Information" on the inside front cover page of this document. With respect to
future cash distributions, see "Questions and Answers About the Merger of Each
Partnership -- What Happens to My Future Cash Distributions?" and "Risk
Factors -- Pioneer Parent Might Not Declare Dividends." You should not rely on
the pro forma combined information as being indicative of the results that would
have occurred had the merger of each partnership been completed on January 1,
2000, or the future results that Pioneer Parent will experience after the merger
of each partnership. In addition, because Pioneer Parent has both a different
legal structure and purpose from each partnership, the information about Pioneer
Parent and the information about the combined partnerships are not necessarily
comparable.

                                  RISK FACTORS

     You should carefully consider the following risk factors in determining
whether to vote to approve the merger proposals for each partnership in which
you own interests.


            RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP



THE MERGER VALUE FOR EACH PARTNERSHIP INVOLVES ESTIMATES THAT MAY VARY
MATERIALLY FROM THE QUANTITIES OF OIL AND GAS ACTUALLY RECOVERED, AND
CONSEQUENTLY FUTURE NET REVENUES MAY BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE ESTIMATES
USED IN THE CALCULATION OF THE MERGER VALUE AND FOR A PARTICULAR PARTNERSHIP



     The calculations of each partnership's estimated reserves of crude oil,
natural gas liquids and natural gas and future net revenues from those reserves
included in this document are only estimates. Actual prices, production,
operating expenses and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves
may vary from those assumed in the estimates. Any significant variance from the
assumptions used could result in the actual quantity of each partnership's
reserves and future net revenues being materially different from the estimates
used in the calculation of the merger value for that partnership. If this turns
out to be the case, the merger value you will receive may not be a reflection of
the actual value of the applicable partnership's reserves.


THE MERGER VALUE FOR A PARTNERSHIP WILL NOT BE ADJUSTED FOR CHANGES IN OIL AND
GAS PRICES BEFORE THE COMPLETION OF ITS MERGER


     The merger value for each partnership in which you own an interest
determines the amount of Pioneer Parent common stock you will receive in the
merger of that partnership. The merger value for each partnership is equal to
the sum of the present value of estimated future net revenues from the
partnership's estimated oil and gas reserves and its net working capital, in
each case as of March 31, 2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve
value, of the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the
partnerships and less the cash distribution mailed on July 13, 2001, by the
partnership to its partners. Although oil and gas prices have fluctuated greatly
in the recent past and may continue to do so, the merger value for a partnership
will not be adjusted as of the closing date of the merger of that partnership to
reflect any general changes in oil or gas prices, or any other matter generally
affecting the oil and gas industry, occurring after March 31, 2001 and prior to
the closing date of the merger.


THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF PIONEER PARENT COMMON STOCK THE LIMITED PARTNERS OF EACH
PARTNERSHIP WILL RECEIVE MAY DECREASE BETWEEN NOW AND THE COMPLETION OF THE
MERGER OF THE PARTNERSHIP


     The number of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock to be issued to the
limited partners of each partnership upon the merger of the partnership will be
determined by dividing the merger value assigned to the partnership by the value
of one share of Pioneer Parent common stock determined as described below. As
discussed above, the merger value for each partnership will not be changed
between now and the completion of the merger for the partnership. In addition,
for purposes of example in this document, a share of Pioneer Parent common stock
has been valued at an assumed average closing price of $18.00. However, the
value of a share of Pioneer Parent common stock will be recalculated by
computing the average closing price of the Pioneer Parent common stock, as
reported by the New York Stock Exchange, for the ten trading days ending three
business days before the initial date scheduled for the special meeting for each
partnership. This recalculated value, and not the assumed closing average
closing price of $18.00 per share of Pioneer Parent common stock used for
illustration purposes in this document and on each limited partner's proxy card,
will be used to determine the actual number of shares of Pioneer Parent common
stock to be issued in the merger of each partnership. The recalculated value may
be more or less than the assumed average closing price of $18.00 per share of

CURRENT MARKET PRICES FOR OIL AND GAS MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE MERGER VALUE FOR A
PARTNERSHIP, WHICH MAY AFFECT THE FAIRNESS OPINION



     Oil and gas prices have fluctuated greatly in the recent past and may
continue to do so in the future. Pioneer Parent calculated each merger value
based on oil and gas prices that it believes to be fair and that are supported
by current market prices. Changes in current oil and gas prices may affect the
willingness or ability of Stanger to update its opinion at the time this
document is mailed to the limited partners of each partnership as to the
fairness of the consideration to be received by limited partners. If the prices
used in the calculation of each merger value significantly differ from current
prices and if Pioneer Parent does not modify its offer, the fairness opinion
provider may be unable to update its opinion.


YOU WERE NOT INDEPENDENTLY REPRESENTED IN ESTABLISHING THE TERMS OF THE MERGER
OF EACH PARTNERSHIP


     Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA determined the terms of the merger of each
partnership, including the method for determining the merger value for that
partnership, and the type and allocation among the partners of the consideration
to be given in exchange for partnership interests. We did not seek
recommendations about the type of transaction or the terms or prices from any
independent underwriter, financial advisor or other securities professional
prior to accepting the consideration Pioneer Parent offered. The only
independent representatives in the mergers were Sayles, Lidji & Werbner, A
Professional Corporation, which provided legal services to Pioneer USA's board
of directors, Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc., which will rendered its fairness
opinion to Pioneer USA's board of directors, and      , which will render the
legal opinion required under the partnership agreement for each partnership,
other than Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 88-A, L.P. No representative
group of limited partners and no outside experts or consultants, such as
investment bankers, legal counsel, accountants or financial experts, were
engaged solely to represent the independent interests of the limited partners of
any partnership in structuring and negotiating the terms of the merger for the
partnership. If you had been separately represented, the terms of the merger for
a partnership in which you own interests might have been different and possibly
more favorable to you.


THE INTERESTS OF PIONEER PARENT, PIONEER USA AND THEIR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
MAY DIFFER FROM YOUR INTERESTS


     The interests of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA, and their directors and
officers may differ from your interests as a result of the relationships among
them. For example, Pioneer USA, as general or managing partner of each
partnership, has a duty to manage the partnership in the best interests of the
limited partners. Additionally, Pioneer USA has a duty to operate its business
for the benefit of its sole stockholder, Pioneer Parent. Also, the members of
Pioneer USA's board of directors have duties to both the limited partners of
each partnership and to Pioneer Parent. All of the members of Pioneer USA's
board of directors are officers of Pioneer Parent and have duties to Pioneer
Parent's stockholders. Pioneer USA's board of directors was aware of these
interests and considered them in approving the merger proposals for each
partnership. See "Interests of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and Their Directors
and Officers" on page 78 of this document.


IT IS UNCLEAR WHAT THE MARKET DEMAND IS FOR ANY PARTNERSHIP OR ITS ASSETS OR
THAT THE TERMS OF THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP ARE AS FAVORABLE AS COULD BE
OBTAINED IN A THIRD PARTY SALE


     In September 1999, we first announced our willingness to consider third
party offers to purchase any partnership or its assets at prices that are higher
than the 1999 merger value for the partnership, but subject to our right to
continue operation of the properties. Other than announcing that we will
consider third party offers for any partnership or its assets, we have not
actively solicited bids from third parties. We believed this invitation for
third party bids would result in a better price to the limited partners of


                                        23
   38


each partnership than if we merely offered the partnership or its assets for
sale at any price. Since that time, we have not received any third party offer
for any partnership or its assets. As a result, we cannot be sure what the
market demand is for any partnership or its assets, individually or as a whole
with the other partnerships, or what a third party would offer for any
partnership. Also, although we do not have any plans to sell or relinquish our
operating rights in any third party sale, we cannot be sure what the market
demand is for any partnership or its assets if we also sold or relinquished our
operating rights. We cannot assure you that the terms of the merger of each
partnership are as favorable as could be obtained from a sale of any partnership
or its assets, individually or as a whole with the other partnerships, to an
unrelated party.


POTENTIAL LITIGATION CHALLENGING THE MERGER OF A PARTNERSHIP MAY DELAY OR BLOCK
THE MERGER AND, AS A RESULT, YOUR RECEIPT OF THE PIONEER PARENT COMMON STOCK

     One or more of the partners opposed to the merger of a partnership in which
such partner or partners own an interest may initiate legal action to stop the
merger of the partnership or to seek damages for alleged violations of federal
and state laws. Litigation challenging the merger of any partnership may delay
or block the closing of the merger for one or more of the partnerships. In
addition, if any lawsuits are filed, Pioneer Parent or Pioneer USA may decide to
terminate one or more of the mergers. If the merger of a partnership in which
you own an interest is delayed, blocked or terminated, we will delay or
terminate the issuance of the Pioneer Parent common stock that you would
otherwise receive.

REPURCHASE OFFERS IN 2001 BY EACH OF THE SIX PARTNERSHIPS WITH A REPURCHASE
OBLIGATION WERE HIGHER THAN THE MERGER VALUE FOR THE PARTNERSHIP

     The limited partners of each of the partnerships listed below may require
us to repurchase their partnership interests for cash at the times and under the
conditions described in the partnership agreements for the partnership:

         Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd.
         Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd.
         Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd.
         Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd.
         Parker & Parsley 83-B, Ltd.
         Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd.


     The 2001 repurchase offers were commenced and completed before the date of
this document. In each of the partnerships with a repurchase obligation, the
repurchase price in 2001 is higher than the price being offered in the merger of
the partnership. For a list of the repurchase prices in 2001 and the prior two
years, see Table 8 of Appendix A. For a description of the mechanics of the
repurchase rights, see "Special Factors -- Fairness Opinion -- Repurchase
Offers" on page 48.


     In addition, if the limited partners of a partnership with repurchase
rights vote a majority of their partnership interests in favor of the merger of
the partnership, those repurchase rights will terminate on completion of the
merger. As a result, if the oil and gas prices used in calculating the
repurchase prices in the future were high enough to offset the additional
33 1/3% discount factor used in the repurchase calculation, the limited partners
would not have the opportunity to require Pioneer USA to repurchase the limited
partners' partnership interests for a price higher than the merger value for the
partnership.

YOU COULD BE BOUND BY THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH YOU OWN AN
INTEREST EVEN IF YOU DO NOT VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE MERGER

     You will be bound by the merger of each partnership in which you own an
interest if the limited partners in the partnership vote a majority, or 66 2/3%
for Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P., of their
partnership interests in favor of the merger, even if you vote against the
merger or do not vote. If the merger of the partnership occurs, you will be
entitled to receive only an amount of

                                        24
   39

Pioneer Parent common stock based on the merger value of your partnership
interests in the partnership. Under the laws of the State of Delaware and the
State of Texas, which are the states of formation of the partnerships, you are
not entitled to appraisal or dissenters' rights with respect to the merger of
any partnership.


             RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH AN INVESTMENT IN PIONEER PARENT



LIMITED PARTNERS WHO BECOME PIONEER PARENT STOCKHOLDERS WILL OWN STOCK IN A
CORPORATION RATHER THAN A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST IN A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP,
RESULTING IN A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN THE NATURE OF THEIR INVESTMENTS



     Limited partners of a participating partnership will become stockholders of
Pioneer Parent and will fundamentally change the nature of their investments.
Each partnership, other than Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd., Parker & Parsley
81-II, Ltd., Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd., Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd., Parker &
Parsley 82-III, Ltd., Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd., Parker & Parsley 83-B, Ltd.
and Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd., was formed as a finite-life investment. The
partners of each partnership receive regular cash distributions out of the
partnership's net operating income and special distributions upon liquidation of
the partnership's oil and gas assets. In contrast, Pioneer Parent intends to
operate for an indefinite period of time and has no specific plans for the sale
of its investments. Because Pioneer Parent will spend a portion of its cash flow
on acquisitions, drilling and other activities, the activities of Pioneer Parent
may involve higher levels of risk than those associated with the present or
future operations of each partnership. Instead of having their investments
liquidated through the liquidation of Pioneer Parent's assets, stockholders
should expect to be able to liquidate their investment in Pioneer Parent only
through the sale of their Pioneer Parent common stock in the market. The amount
realized through the sale of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock may not be
equal to the amount that would have been realized by stockholders through the
sale of Pioneer Parent's assets. For a description of the differences between
the terms of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock and partnership interests in
each partnership, see "Comparison of Rights of Stockholders and Partners" on
page 88.



LIMITED PARTNERS WHO BECOME PIONEER PARENT STOCKHOLDERS WILL OWN AN INVESTMENT
THAT WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE MARKET RISKS ATTENDANT TO AN INVESTMENT IN A PUBLIC
COMPANY



     Limited Partners who become Pioneer Parent stockholders will own an
investment in a public company traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the
Toronto Stock Exchange that does not currently pay a dividend, rather than an
investment in a limited partnership with a limited trading market that pays
regular cash distributions. Limited Partners who become Pioneer Parent
stockholders will therefore be subject to the market risks attendant to an
investment in a public company. An investment in Pioneer Parent common stock
will fluctuate from time to time depending upon general market conditions,
conditions in the oil and gas industry, and Pioneer Parent's future performance.
In addition, there is the potential for decreased market prices for Pioneer
Parent common stock in the near term if significant numbers of limited partners
elect to sell their Pioneer Parent common stock following completion of the
proposed mergers.


PIONEER PARENT MIGHT NOT DECLARE DIVIDENDS


     Limited partners of a participating partnership will become stockholders of
Pioneer Parent and will not receive cash distributions or will receive
distributions much smaller than the distributions received from the partnership.
Pioneer Parent's board of directors did not declare dividends to its
stockholders during 1999, 2000 or the six months ended June 30, 2001. The
determination of the amount of future cash dividends, if any, to be declared and
paid is in the sole discretion of Pioneer Parent's board of directors.


                                        25
   40

LIMITED PARTNERS WHO BECOME PIONEER PARENT STOCKHOLDERS MAY BE DILUTED


     If all partnerships participate in the mergers, the shares of Pioneer
Parent common stock to be issued will represent approximately 6% of the shares
of Pioneer Parent common stock outstanding on the date of this document. That
percentage is based upon the number of shares to be issued upon the merger of
each partnership using an assumed average closing price of $18.00 per share of
Pioneer Parent common stock and may increase or decrease depending on the actual
number of shares issued upon the merger of each partnership, which number will
be determined using the actual average closing price of Pioneer Parent common
stock for the ten trading days ending three business days before the initial
date scheduled for the special meeting. Because of the increased liquidity
afforded to the limited partners of each partnership after the merger of the
partnership, all of those shares of Pioneer Parent common stock may be offered
for sale in a relatively short period of time, which could result in the price
at which shares of Pioneer Parent common stock trade after completion of the
merger of each partnership being less than the price at which such shares traded
immediately prior to the completion of the merger of each partnership. In
addition, limited partners of a partnership who become Pioneer Parent
stockholders will be subject to the risk that their equity interests in Pioneer
Parent may be diluted through the issuance of additional equity securities.
Pioneer Parent has the right to issue, at the discretion of its board of
directors, shares other than those to be issued in the merger of each
partnership, upon such terms and conditions and at such prices as its board of
directors may establish. In addition, Pioneer Parent may in the future issue
preferred stock that might have priority over the Pioneer Parent common stock as
to distributions and liquidation proceeds.


DIVIDENDS PAID TO PIONEER PARENT STOCKHOLDERS ARE TAXED AT TWO LEVELS

     Pioneer Parent is taxed on its income, after deduction of expenses, at both
the federal and state levels. Pioneer Parent stockholders, including limited
partners who become Pioneer Parent stockholders, are separately taxed on the
receipt, if any, of dividends.


PIONEER PARENT'S PROFITABILITY IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE PRICES OF OIL AND GAS,
WHICH HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN VERY VOLATILE


     Pioneer Parent's revenues, profitability, cash flow and future rate of
growth are highly dependent on prices of oil and gas, which are affected by
numerous factors beyond Pioneer Parent's control. Oil and gas prices
historically have been very volatile. If the significant downward trend in oil
and gas prices experienced in 1998, as compared to 2000 and 1999, were to
resume, it would have a material adverse effect on Pioneer Parent's revenues,
profitability and cash flow and could result in a reduction in the carrying
value of Pioneer Parent's oil and gas properties and an increase in Pioneer
Parent's deferred tax asset valuation allowance.


PIONEER PARENT'S DRILLING ACTIVITIES MAY NOT BE PRODUCTIVE


     Drilling involves numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially
productive gas or oil reservoirs will be encountered. The cost of drilling,
completing and operating wells is often uncertain and drilling operations may be
curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of a variety of factors, including


     - unexpected drilling conditions,



     - pressure or irregularities in formations,



     - equipment failures or accidents,



     - adverse weather conditions, and



     - shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment.


     Pioneer Parent's future drilling activities may not be successful and, if
unsuccessful, such failure could have an adverse effect on Pioneer Parent's
future results of operations and financial condition. While all drilling,
whether developmental or exploratory, involves these risks, exploratory drilling
involves greater risks of dry holes or failure to find commercial quantities of
hydrocarbons. Because of the percentage of
                                        26
   41

Pioneer Parent's capital budget devoted to exploratory projects, it is likely
that Pioneer Parent will continue to experience exploration and abandonment
expense.


PIONEER PARENT MAY BE REQUIRED TO RECOGNIZE NON-CASH CHARGES RELATING TO
UNPROVED PROPERTY COSTS


     At December 31, 2000 and 1999, Pioneer Parent carried unproved property
costs of $229.2 million and $257.6 million, respectively. United States
generally accepted accounting principles require Pioneer Parent to periodically
evaluate these costs on a project-by-project basis in comparison to their
estimated value. These evaluations will be affected by


     - results of exploration activities,



     - commodity price outlooks,



     - planned future sales, or



     - expiration of all or a portion of the leases, contracts and permits
       related to such projects.


     If the quantity of potential reserves determined by such evaluations is not
sufficient to fully recover the cost invested in each project, Pioneer Parent
will recognize non-cash charges in the earnings of future periods. During 1999
and 1998, Pioneer Parent recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $17.9
million and $147.3 million, respectively, to reduce the carrying value of its
unproved properties.


PIONEER PARENT'S GROWTH DEPENDS ON ITS ABILITY TO ACQUIRE OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
ON A PROFITABLE BASIS


Acquisitions of producing oil and gas properties have been a key element of
Pioneer Parent's growth. Pioneer Parent's growth following the full development
of its existing property base could be impeded if it is unable to acquire
additional oil and gas properties on a profitable basis. The success of any
acquisition will depend on a number of factors, including the ability to
estimate accurately the recoverable volumes of reserves, rates of future
production and future net revenues attributable to reserves and to assess
possible environmental liabilities. All of these factors affect whether an
acquisition will ultimately generate cash flows sufficient to provide a suitable
return on investment. Even though Pioneer Parent performs a review of the
properties it seeks to acquire that it believes is consistent with industry
practices, such reviews are often limited in scope.


IF PIONEER PARENT IS UNABLE TO DISPOSE OF NON-STRATEGIC ASSETS AT ACCEPTABLE
PRICES, THIS WOULD HINDER ITS ABILITY TO MAKE CAPITAL RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR
MORE PROFITABLE ACTIVITIES


     Pioneer Parent regularly reviews its property base for the purpose of
identifying non-strategic assets, the disposition of which would increase
capital resources available for other activities and create organizational and
operational efficiencies. Various factors could materially affect the ability of
Pioneer Parent to dispose of non-strategic assets, including the availability of
purchasers willing to purchase the non-strategic assets at prices acceptable to
Pioneer Parent.


THE OPERATION OF NATURAL GAS PROCESSING PLANTS INVOLVES THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGE
CLAIMS


     As of December 31, 2000, Pioneer Parent owns interests in nine natural gas
processing plants and four treating facilities. Pioneer Parent operates six of
the plants and all four treating facilities. There are significant risks
associated with the operation of natural gas processing plants. Gas and natural
gas liquids are volatile and explosive and may include carcinogens. Damage to or
misoperation of a natural gas processing plant or facility could result in an
explosion or the discharge of toxic gases, which could result in significant
damage claims in addition to interrupting a revenue source.


PIONEER PARENT IS NOT FULLY INSURED AGAINST OPERATING HAZARDS


     Pioneer Parent's operations are subject to all the risks normally incident
to the oil and gas exploration and production business, including blowouts,
cratering, explosions and pollution and other environmental damage, any of which
could result in substantial losses to Pioneer Parent due to injury or loss of
life,
                                        27
   42

damage to or destruction of wells, production facilities or other property,
clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigations and penalties and
suspension of operations. Although Pioneer Parent currently maintains insurance
coverage that it considers reasonable and that is similar to that maintained by
comparable companies in the oil and gas industry, it is not fully insured
against certain of these risks, either because such insurance is not available
or because of high premium costs.


IN THE EVENT OF NONCOMPLIANCE, LIABILITIES UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND
REGULATIONS COULD BE SUBSTANTIAL


     The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards, such as
oil spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases
that could expose Pioneer Parent to substantial liability due to pollution and
other environmental damage. A variety of federal, state and foreign laws and
regulations govern the environmental aspects of the oil and gas business.
Noncompliance with these laws and regulations may subject Pioneer Parent to
penalties, damages or other liabilities, and compliance may increase the cost of
Pioneer Parent's operations. Such laws and regulations may also affect the costs
of acquisitions.


     Additionally, changes in environmental laws in the future could result in a
curtailment of production or processing or a material increase in the costs of
production, development, exploration or processing or could otherwise adversely
affect Pioneer Parent's operations and financial condition. Pollution and
similar environmental risks generally are not fully insurable.



THERE ARE FACTORS OUTSIDE OF PIONEER PARENT'S CONTROL WHICH COULD IMPAIR ITS
ABILITY TO SATISFY ITS DEBT OBLIGATIONS


     Pioneer Parent is a borrower under fixed term senior notes and a line of
credit. The terms of Pioneer Parent's borrowings under the senior notes and the
line of credit specify scheduled debt repayments and require Pioneer Parent to
comply with covenants and restrictions. Pioneer Parent's ability to comply with
the debt repayment terms, associated covenants and restrictions is dependent on,
among other things, factors outside Pioneer Parent's direct control, such as
commodity prices, interest rates and competition for available debt financing.


THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE


     Pioneer Parent competes with other companies, producers and operators for
acquisitions and in the exploration, development, production and marketing of
oil and gas. Some of these competitors have substantially greater financial and
other resources than Pioneer Parent.


PRESENT OR FUTURE REGULATIONS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT PIONEER PARENT'S BUSINESS
AND OPERATIONS


     Pioneer Parent's business is regulated by a variety of federal, state,
local and foreign laws and regulations. There can be no assurance that present
or future regulations will not adversely affect Pioneer Parent's business and
operations.


PIONEER PARENT HAS INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO INTERNATIONAL
ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL RISKS


     At December 31, 2000, approximately 22% of Pioneer Parent's proved reserves
of oil, natural gas liquids and gas were located outside the United States (17%
in Argentina, 4% in Canada and 1% in South Africa). The success and
profitability of international operations may be adversely affected by risks
associated with international activities, including


     - economic and labor conditions,



     - political instability,


                                        28
   43


     - tax laws, including United States taxes on foreign subsidiaries, and



     - changes in the value of the United States dollar versus the local
       currency.


     To the extent that Pioneer Parent is involved in international activities,
changes in exchange rates may adversely affect Pioneer Parent's consolidated
revenues and expenses, as expressed in United States dollars.


NUMEROUS UNCERTAINTIES EXIST IN ESTIMATING PIONEER PARENT'S QUANTITIES OF PROVED
RESERVES AND FUTURE NET REVENUES


     Estimates of proved reserves and related future net revenues are based on
various assumptions which may prove to be inaccurate. Therefore, those estimates
should not be construed as being accurate estimates of the current market value
of Pioneer Parent's proved reserves.

                                SPECIAL FACTORS

BACKGROUND OF THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP

     The partnerships were formed from 1981 through 1991 under the sponsorship
of various affiliated companies collectively known as Parker & Parsley. On
February 19, 1991, Parker & Parsley's principal company converted from limited
partnership form to corporate form and acquired most of the assets of five oil
and gas limited partnerships. The new corporation was called Parker & Parsley
Petroleum Company, and it owned the sole or managing general partners of the
partnerships.


     In early 1992, Parker & Parsley Petroleum Company decided that it could not
fully realize the benefits of the properties it had acquired while continuing to
devote substantial resources to the sponsorship of and drilling for
partnerships. It stopped sponsoring oil and gas development drilling and income
partnerships and focused on its corporate development. In 1997, Parker & Parsley
Petroleum Company and MESA Inc. combined their businesses in a merger that
created Pioneer Natural Resources Company. That same year, Pioneer Parent
combined many of its U.S. subsidiaries, including the managing or sole general
partner of each of the partnerships, into its main subsidiary, Pioneer USA.



     From time to time since 1992, Pioneer Parent and its predecessors have had
general, internal discussions about whether to consolidate each partnership
pursuant to a merger or similar transaction with each partnership. On several
occasions, Pioneer Parent or its predecessors engaged outside legal counsel and
had discussions with investment banks about a possible combination with each of
the partnerships. Some of those discussions were with Stanger. The contemplated
structure of the combination has varied significantly during these internal
discussions and has included issuances of common stock, combinations of common
stock and cash, and cash-only transactions through asset sales, mergers, tender
offers, and combinations of those types of transactions. See "Special
Factors -- Reasons for the Merger of Each Partnership" for a discussion of why
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA selected the proposed transaction. In general,
the contemplated transactions would have been taxable to the limited partners of
each partnership because of the difficulties involved in structuring a tax-free
transaction for the partnership. Until 1999, every time Pioneer Parent or its
predecessors considered such a transaction, it decided not to complete the
transaction. The reasons Pioneer Parent and its predecessors did not previously
complete a transaction varied. In some early cases, they wanted to collect and
fully distribute proceeds to the limited partners of each partnership from
litigation against an oilfield services company before trying to value any
partnership. In other cases, they wanted to avoid periods of volatility in oil
and gas prices or in Pioneer Parent's stock price. On several occasions, Pioneer
Parent was involved in other corporate transactions that could not be completed
on schedule if a transaction with each partnership was also pending.


     In early 1998, Pioneer Parent was formulating a strategic plan to focus on
its 25 core area oil and gas fields and to eliminate ancillary operations.
Pioneer Parent began discussions internally to consider a transaction involving
each partnership, including the basis for valuing each partnership and whether
the consideration should be Pioneer Parent common stock, cash or some
combination of both.

     During the second quarter of 1998, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA began to
discuss the methods for valuing each partnership. At that time, the board of
directors of Pioneer USA engaged Sayles, Lidji & Werbner, A Professional
Corporation (then known as Sayles & Lidji, A Professional Corporation) based in
Dallas, Texas, as its independent legal counsel to assist the board in
evaluating a potential transaction with Pioneer Parent. Pioneer USA's board also
engaged Stanger as its financial advisor to review any proposed transaction and
to render an opinion as to the fairness of the offer price, from a financial
point of view, to the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership. In May
1998, Pioneer Parent submitted an offer to merge each partnership into Pioneer
USA using Pioneer Parent common stock or a combination of Pioneer Parent common
stock and cash. The pricing for that offer was primarily based on oil and gas
prices and the present value of estimated future net revenues from each
partnership's oil and gas reserves, in each case as of December 31, 1997. The
present value of estimated future net revenues was determined in accordance with
the SEC's reporting convention that provides a common basis for comparing oil
and gas companies and requires the use of oil and gas prices as of the date of
computation, but using a 15%

                                        30
   45

discount rate. After some negotiation with Pioneer USA, Pioneer Parent withdrew
the May 1998 offer due to the decline in oil prices. In July 1998, Pioneer
Parent submitted a second offer using Pioneer Parent common stock, or at its
option upon the occurrence of specified events, a combination of Pioneer Parent
common stock and cash. The oil and gas pricing for the second offer was lower
than the pricing in the May 1998 offer due to the continued decline in oil
prices, but the discount rate for the second offer was the same as the May 1998
offer. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA decided to discontinue further discussions
and not to submit the proposed transaction to the limited partners of any
partnership because of:

     - the continued decline in oil prices, which in turn would reduce any
       merger value to be paid to the limited partners of each partnership;

     - the decline in Pioneer Parent's stock price; and

     - the tight lending environment for many oil and gas companies, including
       Pioneer Parent.

     As oil and gas prices improved, in June 1999, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer
USA again began discussions internally to consider a transaction involving each
partnership. At that time, Scott Sheffield, the President and Chief Executive
Officer of Pioneer Parent, contacted members of Pioneer USA's board regarding
consideration of a potential transaction involving each partnership. Pioneer
Parent did not submit a written offer to Pioneer USA at that time.

     During the second quarter of 1999, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA attempted
to formally address the conflicting interests inherent in the relationships
among Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA, each partnership and the officers and
directors of Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA caused Scott D.
Sheffield to resign from Pioneer USA's board of directors because he is also a
member of Pioneer Parent's board of directors. He was not replaced. Pioneer USA
did not consider replacing Mr. Sheffield with an unaffiliated director because
Pioneer USA is a 100% subsidiary of Pioneer Parent and typically such
wholly-owned subsidiaries do not have unaffiliated directors. Because all of the
board members of Pioneer USA are also employees of Pioneer Parent, an inherent
conflict exists with respect to their duties to the limited partners of each
partnership in their capacity as directors of Pioneer USA, on the one hand, and
their duties to Pioneer Parent as employees, on the other hand.

     Shortly thereafter, Pioneer USA's board again engaged Sayles, Lidji &
Werbner to advise the board in connection with a proposed transaction with
Pioneer Parent and any other alternative transaction that the board determined
was worth consideration.

     Pioneer USA's board also engaged, on behalf of each partnership, Stanger,
as its financial advisor to advise the board on the fairness from a financial
point of view of the merger value for each partnership to be paid to the
unaffiliated limited partners in the partnership for the limited partnership
interests in the partnership and to assist in Pioneer USA's evaluation of the
merger transaction and other strategic alternatives. Stanger was familiar with
the circumstances from its 1998 engagement.

     On July 14, 1999, Pioneer USA's board met with its counsel and Stanger to
discuss the proposed merger of each partnership. Stanger presented an overview
of the analysis it planned to perform in evaluating the fairness of the proposed
transaction. Stanger advised Pioneer USA's board that Stanger would review the
following for each partnership:

     - the reserve report to be prepared by Williamson Petroleum Consultants,
       Inc. as of September 30, 1999;

     - the most recent quarterly financial statements;

     - the estimated cash distributions;

     - the estimated net asset value, going concern value and liquidation value;

     - secondary market prices;

                                        31
   46

     - tender offers; and

     - repurchase offers.

     Sayles, Lidji & Werbner then reviewed and discussed with the board the
procedures that would be involved in completing the proposed transaction with
Pioneer Parent. The discussion topics included:

     - the process in which Pioneer USA's board of directors would approve the
       proposed transaction;

     - the submission of the proposed merger of each partnership to the limited
       partners of the partnership for approval;

     - the evaluation of offers from third parties;

     - the application of and compliance with the requirements of the federal
       securities laws; and

     - the timing of the proposed transaction.

     Members of the Pioneer USA board met informally on several occasions during
July and early August to discuss among each other the proposed terms of the
merger transaction and other potential alternative transactions, including the
formation of a royalty trust or a master limited partnership.

     On August 16, 1999, at a special meeting of the Pioneer USA board, the
board met with representatives of Sayles, Lidji & Werbner and Stanger to discuss
the proposed merger of each partnership into Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA's board
discussed with the representatives of Stanger and Sayles, Lidji & Werbner the
proposed terms of the offer expected from Pioneer Parent, including the expected
pricing parameters of $18 per Bbl of oil and $2.40 per Mcf of gas and the
expected timing of receipt of Pioneer Parent's formal written offer. Stanger
discussed the progress it was making on its financial analysis of each
partnership and its determination of the fairness from a financial point of view
of the merger value for each partnership to be paid in cash for the limited
partners' interests in the partnership. Stanger's discussion centered on (1) the
price to be paid for the oil and gas reserves, (2) the discount rate, (3) the
application of overhead charges and administrative charges, and (4) the
responsibility for any transaction expenses. Following this discussion, the
board and its counsel discussed the board's fiduciary duties in evaluating the
proposed transaction with Pioneer Parent and the making of a recommendation to
the unaffiliated limited partners. Finally, the board decided to request that
Pioneer Parent make a formal written offer outlining the terms of the proposed
merger transaction.

     On August 17, 1999, in response to Pioneer USA's request for a written
offer, Pioneer Parent delivered to Pioneer USA's board a written proposal which
outlined the terms of the proposed merger transaction. The written offer
specified that the pricing for the oil and gas reserves would be based on 95% of
the arithmetic average of a four-year or five-year NYMEX futures price. The
future cash flows generated by this pricing structure would then be discounted
using a 15% discount rate. At a special meeting that day of Pioneer USA's board,
the board, its counsel and Stanger met to discuss the specifics of Pioneer
Parent's offer, including oil and gas pricing, the present value discount rate,
the right to allow others to bid on the property, and the costs of the merger of
each partnership. Following the board meeting, Pioneer USA's directors
determined that it would be advantageous to each partnership to seek more
favorable pricing terms and a lower discount rate. Thus, the board decided to
continue discussions of the written offer.

     On August 23, 1999, at a special meeting of Pioneer USA's board, the board
updated its counsel and Stanger on the status of its discussions with Pioneer
Parent. As a result of continued discussions, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA
agreed, in response to requests by Stanger, (1) to reduce the discount rate from
15% to 12.5%, (2) to increase the pricing of the oil reserves from 95% of the
arithmetic average of a four-year or five-year NYMEX futures price to 100% of
the arithmetic average of the five-year NYMEX futures price, (3) to a fixed
price of $2.40 per Mcf of gas instead of a floating NYMEX futures price and (4)
to allocate the merger expenses and fees to each participating partnership.

     On September 2, 1999, at a special meeting of Pioneer USA's board, the
board and representatives of Stanger and Sayles, Lidji & Werbner reviewed the
terms of a revised proposal submitted by Pioneer Parent which incorporated these
changes. The parties discussed the revised terms of the merger of each
partnership and the strategic rationale for and benefits of the merger of each
partnership. At this meeting, Stanger reviewed with the board its financial
analysis and its evaluation of the merger consideration and the feasibility of
other strategic alternatives. Stanger also orally presented to the board the
status of its findings and its preliminary evaluation of the proposed
transaction.

     After considering Stanger's evaluation of the proposed merger transaction,
Pioneer USA's board, together with representatives of Stanger, engaged in a
general discussion of other possible transactions it had considered over the
last six to eight months. This discussion included anticipated ongoing
operations of each partnership under its current structure and the operation of
each partnership through a master limited partnership structure, as well as
through a royalty trust. The board discussed selling the oil and gas properties
of each partnership at auction and potentially soliciting other buyers or merger
partners. The board also considered the fact that other potential buyers of each
partnership would have an opportunity to make an offer for each partnership
before the board submitted the merger transaction to the limited partners of
each partnership for their consideration and approval.

     At a special meeting held on September 8, 1999, Pioneer USA's board
continued discussions with Sayles, Lidji & Werbner and Stanger regarding the
merger proposals for each partnership. After considering the alternatives
discussed in the preceding paragraph, including the advantages and disadvantages
of each, the board concluded that none of the alternatives was more advantageous
to the limited partners of any partnership than the terms of the proposed merger
of the partnership. The board then unanimously approved proceeding with the
merger of each partnership, subject to determination of September 30, 1999
pricing, its receipt of Stanger's fairness opinion, and the board's
determination that the merger consideration of each partnership is fair to the
unaffiliated limited partners of that partnership based on all circumstances as
of September 30, 1999, including without limitation, the then current market
conditions and the existence, if any, of any other proposal for the partnership
on terms more favorable to the limited partners.

     On September 8, 1999, in connection with the proposed merger transaction,
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA filed a preliminary proxy statement and
preliminary Schedule 13e-3s with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In
addition, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA publicly announced the proposed merger
of each partnership. In that announcement, Pioneer USA also announced that it
would consider proposals from other potential buyers of one or more of the
partnerships.

     On or about October 19, 1999, Pioneer Parent submitted a verbal offer to
Pioneer USA to revise the oil reserve component of the pricing used in the
preliminary proxy statement to $18.35 per Bbl of oil. On or about November 3,
1999, Pioneer Parent submitted a second verbal offer to Pioneer USA to further
revise the oil reserve pricing to $18.40 per Bbl of oil. Later that month, due
to the increase in oil and gas prices over the previous several months and in
response to a request from Pioneer USA, Pioneer Parent proposed to Pioneer USA
that the merger value calculation for each partnership be further modified (1)
to increase the pricing to $18.90 per Bbl for oil and $2.55 per Mcf of gas and
(2) to increase the discount rate to 15%.

     On November 17, 1999, in connection with the approval of Pioneer Parent's
capital budget for 2000, Pioneer Parent's board of directors met and voted to
approve the merger of each partnership and to proceed with the completion of
each merger, subject to the pricing information and other relevant conditions at
the time.

     At a special board meeting held on November 22, 1999, Pioneer USA's board
of directors met with representatives from Stanger and Sayles, Lidji & Werbner
to discuss Pioneer Parent's proposed pricing. Pioneer USA's board agreed that an
increase in the merger value for each partnership based on Pioneer Parent's
proposed pricing was warranted to more closely reflect the current oil and gas
prices. Similarly, in view of increases in interest rates during the months
since the original proposal was made and in view of the volatility of oil and
gas prices over the previous year, Pioneer USA's board agreed to increase the
                                        33
   48

discount rate used to determine the merger value for each partnership from 12.5%
to 15%. Pioneer USA's board reported that management had worked to reduce the
expected merger expenses and fees from an estimated $4.6 million to an estimated
$1.8 million, thereby increasing the merger value for each partnership to be
received by the limited partners of the partnership. The board also received a
status report on whether or not any third party offers had been received since
September 8, 1999, the date on which Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA announced
that it would consider such offers. In that regard, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer
USA had not received any formal offers, but did receive a few inquiries from
third parties expressing an interest in possibly making a bid on one or more of
the partnerships or the assets of one or more of the partnerships. The nature of
the inquiries was to understand the structure and pricing of the transaction
proposed by Pioneer and Pioneer USA. None of the third parties who made
inquiries (1) specified any terms, (2) made any offer or (3) have pursued the
matter further. The board then voted to extend the period it would be willing to
consider third party offers from November 1, 1999 to December 31, 1999. Stanger
then reviewed for the board Stanger's analysis of the fairness of the merger
transaction using the new terms agreed to by Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA.
Stanger expressed its preliminary view that the revised merger value for each
partnership to be paid in cash for the limited partnership interests in each
partnership would be fair from a financial point of view to the unaffiliated
limited partners of the partnership under recent market conditions, but stated
that whether or not the transaction would be considered fair by Stanger at the
time its fairness opinion was sought would depend on market conditions at that
time. Following this discussion, the board approved proceeding with the merger
of each partnership on the new terms, subject to (1) its receipt of a fairness
opinion from Stanger, and (2) its determination that the merger value to be paid
in cash for the limited partnership interests in each partnership is fair to the
unaffiliated limited partners of the partnership based on all circumstances,
including without limitation, the then current market conditions and the
existence, if any, of any other proposal for such partnership or its assets on
terms more favorable to the unaffiliated limited partners than the proposed
merger transaction.


     In December 1999, Pioneer Parent became involved in discussions with an
independent oil and gas company similar in size to Pioneer Parent relating to a
corporate merger opportunity. Those discussions required the dedicated time and
attention of Pioneer Parent's management. The corporate merger opportunity
subsequently failed to come to fruition. Meanwhile, during December 1999 and the
first quarter of 2000, oil and gas prices continued to increase. As a result,
during the first quarter of 2000, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA began to
discuss revising the pricing terms of the proposed merger transaction to (1) an
arithmetic average of the five-year NYMEX futures price for oil and for gas and
(2) a 15% discount rate. Pioneer Parent also proposed to offer Pioneer Parent
common stock instead of cash to the limited partners of each participating
partnership. In April 2000, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA discontinued these
discussions and did not submit the proposed merger transaction to the limited
partners of any partnership because of:


     - the decline in Pioneer Parent's stock price;

     - the increase in interest rates; and

     - Pioneer Parent's involvement in replacing existing debt with new
       publicly-held debt and a new credit facility.

     In September 2000, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA began internal
discussions to consider a merger transaction involving 13 privately-held
employee limited partnerships. Pioneer Parent offered to pay an amount of cash
to the limited partners of each participating partnership equal to the sum of
the present value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's
estimated oil and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of
September 30, 2000, less the cash distributions on October 15, 2000 and November
15, 2000, by the partnership to its partners. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA
calculated the present value of the estimated future net revenues from each
partnership's estimated oil and gas reserves using (1) a five-year NYMEX futures
price for oil and gas as of August 25, 2000, with prices held constant after
year five at the year five price, less standard industry adjustments, (2)
historical operating costs adjusted only for those items affected by commodity
prices, such as production taxes and
                                        34
   49

ad valorem taxes, and (3) a 13.5% discount rate. Pioneer Parent also agreed to
bear the merger expenses and fees. Using the same parameters as described above,
Pioneer Parent purchased all of the direct oil and gas interests held by Scott
D. Sheffield, its chairman of the board of directors and chief executive
officer, for $0.2 million during October 2000. The consideration paid in the
mergers of the employee limited partnerships and in the purchase of the direct
oil and gas interests was all cash since offering and registering Pioneer Parent
common stock in those transactions was cost-prohibitive due to the small size of
such transactions. In December 2000, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA completed
the merger of each of the 13 privately-held employee limited partnerships with
and into Pioneer USA.

     In October 2000, Pioneer Parent terminated the preliminary proxy statement
and preliminary Schedule 13e-3s filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on September 8, 1999 in connection with the proposed merger
transaction.

     As oil and gas prices continued to improve, in January 2001, Pioneer Parent
and Pioneer USA renewed their internal discussions to consider a transaction
involving each of the partnerships described in this document. For a discussion
of why Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA selected the proposed merger transaction,
see "Alternative Transactions to the Merger of Each Partnership" on page 41.
Pioneer Parent offered a combination of its common stock and cash. Pioneer
Parent and Pioneer USA agreed on a merger value for each participating
partnership equal to the sum of the present value of estimated future net
revenues from the partnership's estimated oil and gas reserves and its net
working capital, in each case as of March 31, 2001. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer
USA agreed to calculate the present value of the estimated future net revenues
from each partnership's estimated oil and gas reserves using (1) a five-year
NYMEX futures price for oil and gas as of March 30, 2001, with prices held
constant after year five at the year five price, less standard industry
adjustments, (2) historical operating costs adjusted only for those items
affected by commodity prices, such as production taxes and ad valorem taxes, and
(3) a 13.5% discount rate. For 2001, the oil and gas prices would be based on
the average NYMEX futures price for the nine-month period beginning on April 1,
2001 and ending December 31, 2001. Pioneer Parent also agreed to bear the merger
expenses and fees.

     On February 15, 2001, Pioneer Parent's board of directors met and voted to
approve the merger of each partnership, the issuance of Pioneer Parent common
stock and the payment of cash upon each such merger, and to otherwise proceed
with the completion of each merger, subject to the pricing information and other
relevant conditions at the time.

     During March 2001, Pioneer Parent offered to acquire all of the direct oil
and gas interests owned by some former officers and employees of Pioneer Parent
and Pioneer USA in properties in which Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA own
interests. The merger value for the direct oil and gas interests was equal to
the present value of estimated future net revenues from the oil and gas reserves
attributable to the interests, as of March 31, 2001. In determining the present
value, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA used (1) a five-year NYMEX futures price
for oil and gas as of March 19, 2001 with prices held constant after year five
at the year five price, less standard industry adjustments, (2) historical
operating costs adjusted only for those items affected by commodity prices, such
as production taxes and ad valorem taxes, and (3) a 13.5% discount rate. The
consideration offered in the purchases of the direct oil and gas interests was
all cash since offering and registering Pioneer Parent common stock in those
purchases was cost-prohibitive due to the small size of such transactions.

     In April 2001, Pioneer USA contacted Sayles, Lidji & Werbner and Stanger to
advise them of the proposed merger transaction, pricing terms and merger
consideration.

     On April 9, 2001, Pioneer USA's board met with Sayles, Lidji & Werbner to
discuss the proposed merger of each partnership into Pioneer USA. The board
members reviewed the terms of the merger transaction, including the pricing
terms, the merger consideration and the terms and conditions of the proposed
merger agreement. The board members also discussed the engagement of special
legal counsel to render the legal opinion required by each partnership's
partnership agreement. Finally, Pioneer USA's board discussed the fairness
opinion to be delivered by Stanger and decided to hold another board meeting at
which Stanger would present in detail its methodology in determining that the
merger value for each
                                        35
   50


partnership and the allocation of the merger value of each partnership (1) to
the limited partners of each partnership as a group, (2) to the general partners
of each partnership as a group, (3) to Pioneer USA as the managing or sole
general partner of each partnership, (4) to the unaffiliated limited partners of
each partnership as a group and (5) to the unaffiliated limited partners of the
nonmanaging general partner, if any, of each partnership as a group, is fair to
the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership and the unaffiliated
limited partners of the nonmanaging general partner, if any, of each
partnership, from a financial point of view. The board decided to proceed with
the merger transaction, but would withhold recommending the merger transaction
to the limited partners or executing the merger agreement until it received the
fairness opinion from Stanger and determined that the merger of each partnership
is advisable, fair to the unaffiliated limited partners and in the unaffiliated
limited partners' best interests.


     On April 17, 2001, in connection with the proposed merger transaction,
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA filed a registration statement on Form S-4 and
preliminary Schedule 13e-3s with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In
addition, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA publicly announced the proposed merger
of each partnership. In that announcement, Pioneer USA also announced that it
would continue to consider proposals from other potential buyers of any
partnership or its assets.


     On or about April 30, 2001, Stanger contacted members of Pioneer USA's
board and expressed concern regarding the pricing terms of the merger
transaction which Stanger had received during the week ended April 15, 2001.
Based on Stanger's updated analysis of the new pricing terms for the merger
transaction, Stanger questioned whether the merger value was fair to the
unaffiliated limited partners of the partnerships and the unaffiliated limited
partners of the nonmanaging general partners of the partnerships from a
financial point of view. Stanger's updated analysis included (i) an analysis of
reserve values under six alternative pricing cases and discount rate
assumptions, (ii) a review of reserve pricing parameters, (iii) a summary of
selected recent reserve acquisition transactions, (iv) a review of the trading
history, net asset value estimates and projected cash flow for Pioneer Parent,
and (v) a review of the revised offer price per $1,000 investment in each
partnership and a comparison to such partnership's net asset value, going
concern value, liquidation value, secondary market price, tender offers and
repurchase offers, as applicable. After discussions between members of Pioneer
USA's board and Stanger to discuss pricing terms which Stanger and the Pioneer
USA board believed would be fair to the unaffiliated limited partners of the
partnerships and the unaffiliated limited partners of the nonmanaging general
partners of the partnerships from a financial point of view, the Pioneer USA
board requested that Stanger meet with Pioneer Parent to discuss the issue.
Stanger met with officers of Pioneer Parent on June 15, 2001, to discuss
Stanger's concerns about the proposed pricing terms of the mergers and the need
for new pricing terms that were more favorable to the partnerships in order to
support a fairness opinion.



     On May 7, 2001, Pioneer USA received proposed solicitation materials
prepared by Sierra Fund 3 indicating that Sierra Fund planned to make a tender
offer for up to 4.9% of the limited partnership interests of Parker & Parsley
88-A, L.P. and Parker & Parsley 89-A, L.P. at a price equivalent to $200 and
$240 per $1,000 initial investment, respectively, in each of the partnerships.
Sierra Fund requested and received a list of limited partners of these
partnerships. On June 28, 2001, Pioneer USA learned that on or about June 14,
2001 Sierra Fund made a tender offer for up to 4.9% of the limited partnership
interests of Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd., Parker & Parsley 83-B, Ltd., Parker &
Parsley 84-A, Ltd., Parker & Parsley 85-A, Ltd., Parker & Parsley 86-B, Ltd.,
and Parker & Parsley 87-B, Ltd. at a price equivalent to $75, $85, $110, $80,
$110 and $110 per $1,000 investment, respectively, in each of the partnerships.
On July 11, 2001, as required by law, Pioneer USA filed with the SEC a response
to each of Sierra Fund's tender offers taking a neutral position with respect to
each tender offer.


     Three other limited partners have expressed interest to Pioneer USA in
either making offers for the assets of particular partnerships or in purchasing
the limited partnership interests of other limited partners. In May 2001,
Salvage Investors, L.L.C. expressed interest in making an offer for the assets
of Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd. but did not indicate a price at which it would be
willing to purchase those assets. Also in May 2001, Horace Potts IV expressed
interest in making an offer for the assets of unspecified partnerships or,
alternatively, in soliciting higher offers on the assets of those partnerships,
but did not indicate a price at which he would be willing to purchase those
assets. In June 2001, Nancy R. Schauer
                                        36
   51

expressed interest in purchasing limited partnership interests of Parker &
Parsley 87-A Conv., Ltd., Parker & Parsley 87-B Conv., Ltd. and Parker & Parsley
Private Investment 88, L.P. Pioneer USA received a copy of correspondence from
Ms. Schauer to the limited partners of those partnerships in which Ms. Schauer
asked the limited partners to vote against the proposed mergers and to call her
if they wanted to sell their limited partnership interest.


     Additionally, in May 2001 James A. Smith of Indigo Ventures requested, and
Pioneer later sent to him, a list of the limited partners of Parker & Parsley
Private Investment 89, L.P. and Parker and Parsley 90 Spraberry Private
Development, L.P. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA do not know if Mr. Smith
contacted any limited partners of those partnerships.



     On June 12, 2001, the Pioneer USA board of directors voted to change the
method for allocating the expenses of the mergers such that (i) the limited
partners of the participating partnerships would bear their pro rata portion of
the merger expenses, and (ii) the limited partners of each nonparticipating
partnership would bear a portion of the merger expenses equal to the number of
limited partnership interests of such partnership voting in favor of the merger
divided by the total number of limited partnership interests of such partnership
voting on the merger. On July 27, 2001, in order to make the transaction more
favorable to the limited partners, Pioneer Parent agreed to bear the merger
expenses of the nonparticipating partnerships, and therefore to eliminate the
requirement that the nonparticipating partnerships bear a portion of the merger
expenses.



     On June 18, 2001, in follow-up discussions between Pioneer Parent, Pioneer
USA and Stanger, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA orally agreed, subject to the
approval of their respective boards, to revise the pricing terms of the merger
transaction as follows: (1) that the merger value for each partnership would
equal the sum of the partnership's reserve value and its working capital, in
each case as of March 31, 2001, less the cash distribution to be paid in July
2001 and less the partnership's pro rata share of expenses and fees to be
incurred in connection with the mergers of all of the partnerships, except that
Pioneer Parent would pay (A) any such expenses and fees in excess of $2,000,000
in the aggregate and (B) a portion of such expenses and fees otherwise allocable
to any nonparticipating partnership, (2) to reduce the discount rate that would
be used in calculating the present value of the estimated future net revenues
from 13.5% to 10%, (3) to change the composition of the payment of the merger
value for each partnership from 25% in cash and 75% in shares of Pioneer Parent
common stock to 100% in shares of Pioneer Parent common stock based on the
average closing price of the Pioneer Parent common stock, as reported by the New
York Stock Exchange, for the ten trading days ending three days business days
before the date of the special meeting of the partnership, and (4) to engage
Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. to review the estimate of each
partnership's reserves and the present value of the estimated future net
revenues from those estimated reserves as of March 31, 2001. The effect of the
revised pricing terms was to increase the merger consideration that would be
paid to each of the participating partnerships upon completion of the merger
transaction.


     On June 21, 2001, Pioneer Parent's board met and approved the revised
pricing terms.


     At a special meeting held on June 21, 2001, Pioneer USA's board continued
discussions with Sayles, Lidji & Werbner and Stanger regarding the merger
proposals for each partnership. Stanger also orally presented to Pioneer USA's
board the status of its findings and its preliminary evaluation of the proposed
transaction based on the new pricing terms for the merger transaction. Pioneer
USA's board decided that it would take the recommendation of the merger
transaction to the limited partners of each partnership under advisement, so
that the board members could review the written presentation materials provided
by Stanger and the revised written offer to be submitted by Pioneer Parent, and
agreed to convene a special meeting on June 25, 2001.



     On June 22, 2001, Pioneer Parent submitted its written offer with the
revised pricing terms to Pioneer USA.


     On June 25, 2001, Pioneer USA's board held a special meeting with Sayles,
Lidji & Werbner and Stanger to discuss the merger proposals for each partnership
and Stanger's fairness opinion. The board

                                        37
   52


then unanimously approved proceeding with the merger of each partnership,
subject to (1) the execution of a definitive merger agreement, (2) its receipt
of Stanger's fairness opinion, and (3) the Securities and Exchange Commission's
declaration that the registration statement that includes this document is
effective under the Securities Act of 1933.



     On July 3, 2001, Pioneer USA received a letter from a publicly-traded
independent oil and gas company indicating its interest in making an offer to
acquire the partnerships or the partnerships' assets. At the company's request,
Pioneer USA provided a draft confidentiality agreement and established a data
room as a predicate to the company's review of the partnerships and the
partnerships' assets. In August, the company informed Pioneer USA that it
decided not to pursue the acquisition of the partnerships or the partnerships'
assets.



     In a special meeting of the board of Pioneer USA held on August 20, 2001,
Stanger presented its analysis of the merger transaction and delivered its
fairness opinion dated August 20, 2001, that the merger value for each
partnership and the allocation of such merger value (1) to the limited partners
of each partnership as a group, (2) to the general partners of each partnership
as a group, (3) to Pioneer USA as the managing or sole general partner of each
partnership, (4) to the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership as a
group and (5) to the unaffiliated limited partners of the nonmanaging general
partner, if any, of each partnership as a group, is fair to the unaffiliated
limited partners of each partnership and the unaffiliated limited partners of
the nonmanaging general partner, if any, of each partnership, from a financial
point of view. The board of Pioneer USA then unanimously determined that the
merger proposals for each partnership are advisable, fair to the unaffiliated
limited partners of each partnership and in the best interests of the
unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership. Accordingly, the board
recommended that the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership vote for
the merger proposals.


REASONS FOR THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP

     General.  For all of the reasons listed below, Pioneer Parent believes that
it is the party in the position to pay the highest price for the limited
partnership interests of each partnership. Pioneer USA also believes that
Pioneer Parent is the most likely buyer for each partnership's properties in
light of:

     - Pioneer USA's operation of most of the properties;

     - Pioneer USA's extensive property holdings in the same fields; and

     - Pioneer Parent's ability to achieve efficiencies by consolidating
       operations with its existing operations in the same areas.

     Pioneer Parent's Reasons.  Pioneer Parent believes that completion of the
merger of each partnership at this time is advantageous to it for the following
reasons:

     - Consolidate Core Area of Operations.  The Spraberry field of the Permian
       Basin is one of Pioneer Parent's 25 fields of focus in its strategic
       plan. Acquisition of each partnership's properties would help consolidate
       Pioneer Parent's operations in the Spraberry field and achieve operating
       efficiencies. Pioneer USA operates most of each partnership's wells, and
       Pioneer Parent has extensive properties around each partnership's
       properties, including interests in most of each partnership's wells.


     - Achieve Operating Efficiencies.  Pioneer Parent expects to improve
       operating efficiencies with respect to the properties acquired in the
       merger of each partnership because it will be able to com-mingle
       production of oil from each participating partnership's properties with
       production of oil from other Pioneer Parent properties for storage,
       transportation and sale. Production of oil from each partnership's
       properties is predominantly segregated from Pioneer Parent's production
       of oil until sale. Gas production is currently, and will continue to be,
       metered, which means that it is measured and allocated based on
       ownership.


                                        38

     - Achieve Administrative Efficiencies.  Pioneer Parent will eliminate the
       costs, including time spent by Pioneer Parent employees, related to
       preparing and filing each partnership's separate tax returns, financial
       statements and, for each reporting partnership, reports with the SEC, as
       well as dealing with the concerns of approximately 29,000 limited
       partners of record. The merger of each partnership will result in
       administrative efficiencies and cost reductions in the management and
       operation of the properties now owned by each partnership, particularly
       in the areas of audit, accounting and tax services, engineering services,
       bookkeeping, data processing, record maintenance and mailing information
       to the partners. Although Pioneer Parent will lose the benefit of each
       partnership's reimbursement for general and administrative expenses, it
       will be able to use the additional time of its personnel to help achieve
       its corporate strategic goals.


     Pioneer USA's Reasons.  In considering the merger of each partnership, the
board of directors of Pioneer USA considered the benefits to the limited
partners of each partnership set forth on page 7 as well as the following
factors:

     - Maturity of Partnerships and Properties.  Although each partnership's
       properties were long-lived at the formation of the partnership, each
       partnership's properties are now mature, ranging from approximately 10 to
       approximately 20 years old. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA anticipated
       that at some point each partnership would need to be liquidated. Pioneer
       USA is recommending the merger transaction for each partnership at this
       time because:


      - Pioneer USA believes that Pioneer Parent is the most likely buyer and is
        the only potential buyer with an offer outstanding. While third parties
        have made inquiries, no one except Pioneer Parent has made an offer to
        Pioneer USA to acquire any of the partnerships.



      - Oil and gas prices have recovered from significant lows in 1998. As a
        result, Pioneer USA believes that Pioneer Parent's pricing is higher
        than it would have been otherwise.



      - As our production continues to decline, administrative expenses for each
        partnership are increasing on a per BOE produced basis. Moreover, the
        administrative cost of continuing to produce each partnership to
        depletion could be significant, especially if no buyer is available at
        the time each partnership is shut down.



      - As discussed below, the tax incentives for which each partnership (other
        than Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-A, Ltd., Parker & Parsley
        Producing Properties 87-B, Ltd. and Parker & Parsley Producing
        Properties 88-A, L.P., which were formed to purchase producing
        properties) was originally formed have been realized.


     - Declining Cash Flows.  As each partnership's properties have matured, the
       net cash flows from operations for the partnership have generally
       declined, except in periods of substantially increasing commodity prices.
       See Table 7 of Appendix A for each partnership's historical cash
       distributions. The marginal benefit of continuing the operations of each
       partnership is offset by the related administrative costs. These
       administrative costs consume an increasing amount, and ultimately will
       consume the entire amount, of the cash flows of each partnership as
       production declines.


     - Tax Incentives Have Been Realized.  Each partnership (other than Parker &
       Parsley Producing Properties 87-A, Ltd., Parker & Parsley Producing
       Properties 87-B, Ltd. and Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 88-A,
       L.P., which were formed to purchase producing properties) was intended to
       provide to its partners federal income tax deductions for intangible
       drilling and development costs incurred by the partnership during the
       initial years of the partnership. Pioneer USA believes that the tax
       incentives have been realized through the drilling activities that each
       partnership has completed.


     - Partnership Tax Burdens May Now Exceed Benefits.  As net cash flow
       available for distribution of each partnership has declined or, at times,
       disappeared, some limited partners of the partnership may incur greater
       costs to include their share of the tax information of the partnership in
       their returns than they receive in cash distributions. In any event, all
       limited partners of each partnership
                                        39
   54

       are expected to benefit by the elimination of the obligation to include
       partnership information in their tax returns for the years after the
       merger of each partnership in which they own interests.


     - Each Partnership is Unable to Access Additional Capital.  Pioneer Parent,
       through its subsidiary, Pioneer USA, has the ability, financial and
       otherwise, to take advantage of corporate opportunities to expand its
       reserve base through acquisitions. None of the partnerships has the
       ability to raise capital for reserve acquisitions or development of any
       undeveloped reserves. The partnership agreements of the partnerships do
       not authorize the partnerships to raise additional capital, whether debt
       or equity. Even if the partnership agreement of each partnership is
       amended to authorize additional capital, Pioneer Parent does not believe
       that the limited partners of the partnership would desire to contribute
       additional capital or to apply all cash flow to debt service, while
       remaining taxable on the related income.


     - Fairness of Procedures.  Pioneer USA considered the following factors in
       making its recommendation that the unaffiliated limited partners vote for
       the merger proposals for each partnership in which they own interests:


      - None of the partnerships has any employees or directors, and all of
        Pioneer USA's directors are officers of Pioneer USA and of Pioneer
        Parent. As a result, there has been no approval by directors who are not
        Pioneer Parent employees.



      - Pioneer USA did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely
        on behalf of the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership for
        purposes of negotiating the terms of the merger of the partnership or
        preparing a report concerning the fairness of the merger of the
        partnership.



      - Since Pioneer USA is entitled to vote its limited partnership interests
        other than as described below, the transaction is not structured so that
        the approval of at least a majority of unaffiliated limited partnership
        interests is required. Pioneer USA intends to vote in favor of the
        transaction for the partnership interests it holds as a limited partner
        of each partnership as permitted by the partnership agreement of each
        partnership except in the following partnerships where the partnership
        agreement does not allow Pioneer USA to vote on the proposed
        transaction:


         Parker & Parsley 85-A, Ltd.
         Parker & Parsley 85-B, Ltd.
         Parker & Parsley Private Investment 85-A, Ltd
         Parker & Parsley Selected 85 Private Investment, Ltd
         Parker & Parsley Private Investment 86, Ltd.
         Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P.
         Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P.

      Despite the foregoing factors, Pioneer USA believes each merger is
      procedurally fair to the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership
      because:


      - Pioneer USA has been willing to consider any offer from third parties to
        purchase any partnership or the assets of any partnership since
        September 8, 1999, and will continue to do so, although Pioneer USA has
        not actively solicited any third party offers during this time; and


      - Pioneer Parent does not directly own any partnership interests in the
        partnerships. Pioneer Parent beneficially owns all of Pioneer USA's
        partnership interests in the partnerships. Pioneer USA does not
        beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding limited partnership
        interests in any partnership, except Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd., Parker
        & Parsley 82-I, Ltd. and Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd. In those
        partnerships, Pioneer USA repurchased and now owns partnership interests
        representing the following beneficial ownership percentages:

           Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd...........................5.84%

           Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd..........................11.71%

           Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd.........................5.97%
                                        40
   55


        Except as set forth above, none of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA, or, to
        the knowledge of Pioneer USA, any of their directors or executive
        officers, or any associate or subsidiary of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA
        beneficially owns any partnership interests of any partnership. As a
        result, Pioneer USA believes that neither it nor its affiliates have a
        meaningful voting percentage for any partnership, other than Parker &
        Parsley 81-I, Ltd., Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd. and Parker & Parsley
        82-III, Ltd. See "Ownership of Partnership Interests" on page 79 of this
        document and Table 6 of Appendix A to this document.


     - Fairness of Transaction.  Pioneer USA's board of directors determined
       that the merger of each partnership is advisable, fair to the
       unaffiliated limited partners of the partnership and in their best
       interests. In reaching this determination for each partnership, Pioneer
       USA's board of directors considered the following factors:


      - The form and amount of consideration offered to the partners of the
        partnership;



      - The objectives of the merger of the partnership, including providing
        liquidity to the partners;



      - Pioneer USA's right to consider third party offers;



      - The current market prices for oil and gas, including the increase in
        market prices, and the subsequent increase in merger value for the
        partnership, since the merger transaction was initially proposed in
        1999;



      - The historical market prices for oil and gas;



      - The net book value, going concern value and liquidation value of the
        partnership;



      - The purchase prices paid in previous repurchases by Pioneer USA;



      - The trading price of limited partnership interests in secondary market
        transactions;



      - The analysis of alternative transactions to the proposed merger of each
        partnership; and



      - The fairness opinion of Stanger, including the analyses conducted by
        Stanger in rendering the fairness opinion.


RECOMMENDATION OF PIONEER USA


     On August 20, 2001, Pioneer USA's board of directors unanimously determined
that the merger of each partnership is advisable, fair to the unaffiliated
limited partners of the partnership, and in their best interests. PIONEER USA'S
BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE UNAFFILIATED LIMITED PARTNERS VOTE FOR
THE MERGER PROPOSALS FOR EACH PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH THEY OWN INTERESTS.



     In making this recommendation, Pioneer USA's board of directors considered
a number of factors, including (1) the reasons for the merger of each
partnership set forth above in "Special Factors -- Reasons for the Merger of
Each Partnership," such as the fairness opinion and analyses conducted by
Stanger, and (2) the matters described under "Risk Factors" beginning on page 22
of this document, such as its conflicting interests. Pioneer USA's board of
directors also considered the likelihood, benefits and costs of other
transactions, including possible third party offers. Pioneer USA will consider
any offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its assets. See
"The Merger of Each Partnership -- Third Party Offers" on page 65 of this
document for a description of the procedures for these offers. In view of the
numerous factors taken into consideration, Pioneer USA's board of directors did
not consider it practical to, and did not attempt to, quantify or assign
relative weights to the factors considered by it in reaching its decision to
recommend the merger of each partnership. Rather, the board viewed its position
and recommendation as being based on the total information presented to and
considered by the board.

FAIRNESS OPINION


     Pioneer USA, on behalf of each partnership, engaged Robert A. Stanger &
Co., Inc., an independent financial advisory firm, to conduct an independent
review and deliver a written opinion in connection with the merger of each
partnership that the merger value for each partnership and the allocation of the
merger value of the partnership (1) to the limited partners of the partnership
as a group, (2) to the general partners of the partnership as a group, (3) to
Pioneer USA as the managing or sole general partner of the partnership, (4) to
the unaffiliated limited partners of the partnership as a group and (5) to the
unaffiliated limited partners of the nonmanaging general partner, if any, of the
partnership as a group, is fair to the unaffiliated limited partners of the
partnership and the unaffiliated limited partners of the nonmanaging general
partner, if any, of the partnership, from a financial point of view. The full
text of Stanger's fairness opinion is attached as Appendix D to this document
and is incorporated into this document by reference. Limited partners of each
partnership are urged to read the opinion in its entirety. This summary of
Stanger's fairness opinion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the opinion. Stanger has advised us that arriving at a fairness opinion
is a complex analytical process not necessarily susceptible to partial analysis
or amenable to summary description. For a more complete description of the
assumptions and qualifications to the fairness opinion see "Qualifications to
Fairness Opinion" beginning on page 42 and "Assumptions" on page 48.



     Except for assumptions which Pioneer USA advised Stanger would be
reasonable and appropriate in its view, neither Pioneer USA nor any partnership
imposed any conditions or limitations on the scope of the investigation by
Stanger or the methods and procedures to be followed by Stanger in rendering the
fairness opinion. In addition, each partnership has agreed to indemnify Stanger
against some liabilities arising out of Stanger's engagement to prepare and
deliver its opinion. Upon consummation of the merger of the partnership, those
indemnification obligations will become obligations of Pioneer USA.



     Experience of Stanger.  Since its founding in 1978, Stanger has provided
information, research, investment banking and consulting services to clients
located throughout the United Sates, including major New York Stock Exchange
member firms and insurance companies and over 70 companies engaged in the
management and operation of partnerships. The investment banking activities of
Stanger include financial advisory and fairness opinion services, asset and
securities valuations, industry and company research and analysis, litigation
support and expert witness services, and due diligence investigations in
connection with both publicly registered and privately placed securities
transactions.


     Stanger was selected because of its experience in the valuation of
businesses and their securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions,
reorganizations and for estate, tax, corporate and other purposes, including the
valuation of partnerships, partnership securities and the assets typically held
through partnerships including oil and gas assets. Pioneer USA has previously
engaged Stanger to provide financial advisory services in connection with
proposed transactions between one or more of the partnerships and Pioneer Parent
which were never consummated.

     Qualifications to Fairness Opinion.  In the fairness opinion, Stanger
specifically states that it was not requested to, and did not:

     - make any recommendations to Pioneer USA, any partnership or the limited
       partners of any partnership with respect to whether to approve or reject
       the merger of any partnership;

     - determine or negotiate the amount or form of the merger value for any
       partnership to be paid for limited partners' interests in the merger of
       the partnership;

     - offer the assets of any partnership for sale to any third party;

     - express any opinion as to:


      - the impact on Pioneer USA or the limited partners of any partnership
        that does not participate in the proposed merger transaction;


                                        42
   57


      - the tax consequences of the merger of any partnership for Pioneer USA,
        the nonmanaging general partner, if any, of the partnership or the
        limited partners of the partnership;



      - Pioneer USA's or Pioneer Parent's ability to finance their obligations
        under the merger agreement or the impact of a failure to obtain
        financing on the financial performance of Pioneer USA, Pioneer Parent or
        any partnership;



      - Pioneer USA's decision to estimate the reserve value of the oil and gas
        reserves of each partnership based upon the continued operation of the
        properties by Pioneer USA and the payment of overhead charges in
        accordance with existing operating agreements or the impact, if any, on
        the estimated value of each partnership's oil and gas reserves if
        Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA determined to offer or operate the assets
        subject to revised operating agreements;



      - whether or not alternative methods of determining the merger value for
        each partnership would have also provided fair results or results
        substantially similar to the methodology used;



      - alternatives to the merger of each partnership, including the offering
        of such assets for sale to third party buyers;



      - the trading price of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock immediately
        following the closing of the merger of each partnership and the
        distribution of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock in connection with
        the merger of each partnership;



      - the fairness of the termination of the repurchase obligations of Pioneer
        USA with respect to some partnerships, which repurchase obligations
        require Pioneer USA to offer to repurchase limited partnership interests
        annually based upon a formula which in some circumstances, including the
        repurchase offers based upon December 31, 2000 oil and gas prices,
        result in repurchase offer prices above the market value for the
        reserves of any such partnership; or



      - any other terms of the merger of any partnership.


     Summary of Material Considered and Investigation Undertaken.  Stanger's
analysis of the merger of each partnership involved a review of the following
information:

     - a draft of this preliminary document;

     - a draft of the merger agreement which Pioneer USA has indicated is
       substantially the form which will be executed in connection with the
       merger of each partnership;


     - financial statements of each partnership, including, if applicable, the
       partnership's Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, for the six months ended June 30,
       2001 and for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998;


     - the reserve reports prepared by Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA and the
       review by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., as of March 31, 2001,
       relating to the reserves of each partnership;


     - the reserve reports prepared by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc.,
      as of December 31, 2000, relating to the reserves of each partnership;


     - calculations prepared by Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA of the merger
       value per $1,000 of limited partner investment in each partnership;

     - Pioneer USA's analysis of other alternatives to the merger of each
       partnership, including going concern value, liquidation value, royalty
       trust and production payment;


     - estimates prepared by Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA of the going concern
       value and liquidation value per $1,000 of limited partner investment in
       each partnership;



     - the financial statements of Pioneer Parent included in its Form 10-Q for
       the six months ended June 30, 2001 and its Form 10-K for the years ended
       December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998;


                                        43
   58

     - pro forma financial data for Pioneer Parent assuming the completion of
       the proposed merger transaction; and

     - recent trading activity in shares of Pioneer Parent common stock.

     In the course of its analysis, Stanger conducted interviews of senior
management personnel of Pioneer USA. During such interviews, Stanger and the
senior management personnel reviewed the status of the merger of each
partnership, the reserve pricing and related value estimates, the estimated
timing of the merger of each partnership and other matters.

     Stanger reviewed estimates of the merger value, going-concern value, and
liquidation value prepared by Pioneer USA with respect to each partnership. In
addition, Stanger reviewed secondary market prices, as tracked by Stanger, for
limited partnership interests in each partnership along with tender offers
received by limited partners as derived from data provided by Pioneer USA.
Stanger's analysis is summarized below.


     Review of Merger Value for Each Partnership.  Stanger reviewed the
calculation of the merger value for each partnership prepared by Pioneer USA.
Stanger observed that such calculation includes the reserve value, as described
below, and other current assets as of March 31, 2001, as reduced by other
current liabilities as of March 31, 2001, less the partnership's pro rata share,
based on its reserve value, of the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of
all of the partnerships and less the cash distribution mailed on July 13, 2001,
by the partnership to its partners. Stanger reviewed the balance sheet of each
partnership as of March 31, 2001 as prepared by Pioneer USA, and reconciled the
current assets and current liabilities on such financial statements to the
balances included in the merger value calculation for each partnership.


     Stanger reviewed the summary reserve reports for each partnership prepared
by Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA as reviewed by Williamson Petroleum
Consultants, Inc. as of March 31, 2001. Stanger noted that the summary reserve
report was prepared based upon the following pricing case: (1) a five-year NYMEX
futures price for oil and gas as of March 30, 2001, with prices held constant
after year five at the year five price and (2) historical operating costs
adjusted only for those items affected by commodity prices, such as production
taxes and ad valorem taxes. For 2001, the oil and gas prices were based on the
average NYMEX futures price for the nine-month period beginning on April 1, 2001
and ending December 31, 2001. The standard industry adjustments reflect oil
quality, BTU content, oil and gas gathering and transportation costs, and gas
processing costs and shrinkage.


     Stanger further observed that the summary reserve report utilized a
discount rate of 10.0% and resulted in a per barrel of oil equivalent, or BOE,
value of the reserves for each of the partnerships ranging from $3.52 to $4.60.
Stanger observed that such BOE values are low by general industry averages.
However, Stanger observed that such properties are long-lived, generally
low-volume properties, not operated by any of the partnerships, and are subject
to overhead charges by the operator, Pioneer USA. In the course of its
engagement, Stanger reviewed selected comparable transactions in the BOE value
range described above for long-lived, generally low-volume properties. Such
transactions, including some transactions involving other Pioneer USA
affiliates, provided a range of value per BOE of $2.97 to 5.08 and an average of
$4.00.


     Stanger, in connection with its engagement, interviewed acquisitions
personnel at seven oil and gas companies regarding targeted pricing case ranges
and discount rate ranges in order to assess the reasonableness of the pricing
case and discount rates utilized to establish the reserve value for the
partnerships. With respect to the pricing case ranges, Stanger observed a low
pricing case range pursuant to the survey of $22 per barrel of oil and $3.50 per
Mcf of gas, held flat for the life of the reserves to a high pricing case range
of NYMEX strip pricing (plus $2 per barrel of oil) and NYMEX strip pricing for
gas, held flat after five years for the life of the reserves. With respect to
discount rates, Stanger observed a range of discount rates from a low of 9% to
13% applied generally to a low range pricing case to a high range of 15% to 20%,
applied generally to a high range pricing case. Stanger concluded that the
pricing case and discount rates utilized to establish the merger value for each
partnership fall within the ranges established in interviews with acquisition
professionals.

     Going Concern Value.  Stanger reviewed the going concern value calculation
prepared for each partnership by Pioneer USA. The going concern value was based
upon:

     - The sum of (1) the estimated net cash flow from sale of the reserves
       during a 10-year operating period and (2) the estimated residual value
       from the sale of the remaining reserves at the end of the operating
       period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as in the
       merger value calculation; less


     - The cash distributions on July 13, 2001 by the partnership to its
       partners; and


     - Partnership level general and administrative expenses, calculated as
       follows and, consistent with the calculation of 2000 and 1999 expenses,
       generally representing the maximum expense percentages permitted under
       the partnership agreements:


      - The partnership agreement for each of Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd.,
        Parker & Parsley 81-II, Ltd., Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd., Parker &
        Parsley 82-II, Ltd. and Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd. permits Pioneer
        USA to allocate to the partnership (1) general and administrative
        expenses and (2) all expenses directly attributable to the partnership
        as a result of fees or charges by parties other than Pioneer USA or its
        affiliates, including legal, auditing and engineering fees. However, for
        purposes of clause (1) and for administrative ease and to the benefit of
        each of those partnerships, Pioneer USA allocates to each of those
        partnerships general and administrative expenses based on 3% of the
        revenues of the partnership.



      - The partnership agreement for each of Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd. and
        Parker & Parsley 83-B, Ltd. permits Pioneer USA to allocate to the
        partnership (1) general and administrative expenses in an annual amount
        not to exceed the sum of 2% of the initial partner capital for the
        partnership and 2.25% of the drilling and completion expenses, of which
        there are none, and (2) all expenses directly attributable to the
        partnership as a result of fees or charges by parties other than Pioneer
        USA or its affiliates, including legal, auditing and engineering fees.
        However, for purposes of clause (1) and for administrative ease and to

     Stanger observed that the going concern value of each partnership was
adjusted for the March 31, 2001 working capital balance less the distribution
mailed on July 13, 2001 and that such going concern value ranged from 4.7% to
9.8% less than the merger value for each partnership. See the supplemental
information table on the second page of the supplement for each partnership for
its merger value and its going concern value, in each case per $1,000 limited
partner investment.



     Liquidation Value.  Stanger reviewed the liquidation value calculation
prepared for each partnership by Pioneer USA. Such liquidation value was based
upon the sale of the reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation
expenses which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata
share of the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the
partnerships and (B) 3% of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash
distributions on July 13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The
liquidation expenses represent the estimated costs to retain an investment
banker or broker to sell the assets of each partnership and the legal and other
closing costs associated with such transaction. Stanger observed that such
merger expenses are intended to reflect Pioneer USA's estimate of the cost
associated with brokers' commissions on asset sales and the additional wind-down
costs of the partnership. Stanger observed that the liquidation value for each
partnership ranged from 2.7% to 3.0% less than the merger value for each
partnership. See the supplemental information table on the second page of the
supplement for each partnership for its merger value and its liquidation value,
in each case per $1,000 limited partner investment.



     Secondary Market Prices.  To determine the most up-to-date secondary market
prices, Stanger reviewed the secondary market prices for units of limited
partnership interests in each of the partnerships during the 12 months ended
June 30, 2001, collected from data maintained on partnerships by Stanger.
Stanger observed that secondary market transactions were reported for 24 of the
partnerships during such period. Stanger observed that for all partnerships
except Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-A, Ltd., the weighted average
secondary market price on a per $1,000 original investment basis was less than
the merger value per $1,000 original investment. For such other partnerships,
the range of discount to the merger value per $1,000 investment was 7.7% to
55.5%, averaging 28.6%. For Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-A, Ltd.,
Stanger observed that only one transaction involving $10,000 of original
investment (20 units) was at a price in excess of the merger value per $1,000 of
original investment. All other secondary market transactions for Parker &
Parsley Producing Properties 87-A, Ltd. were reported at prices below the merger
value. Stanger also observed secondary market transactions at prices in excess
of the merger value for two additional partnerships. Secondary market firms
reported a single transaction during the twelve months ended June 30, 2001 for
Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd. and Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd. at a price in
excess of merger value. All other transactions reported for such partnerships
were at amounts less than the merger value during the twelve months ended June
30, 2001.



     Stanger also reviewed the secondary market data obtained by Pioneer USA
from Partnership Spectrum and included in Table 15 of Appendix A to this
document. Stanger observed that such data included partnerships which reported a
secondary market transaction price in excess of the high-end transaction price
Stanger observed in its data. In all cases, except Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd.,
Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd. and Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-A,
Ltd., such high-end range was lower than the merger value.



     Prices in the secondary market are based on market prices at the time of
the secondary market transaction, which prices may be lower than prices
prevailing at June 30, 2001, or as of the date of mailing this document.

     Selected Tender Offers.  Stanger observed that Pioneer USA reported
unsolicited tender offers from unaffiliated third parties for less than 5% of
the interests in the following partnerships during the period June 1998 through
July 2001. Stanger observed that the tender offers and related merger value per
limited partnership interest for each of those partnerships were as follows:

---------------

(a)  More than one tender offer for partnership interests was made. Amounts
     shown represent the range of tender offer prices.


     Stanger observed that the above tender offers represent a discount to the
merger value for each of those partnerships of 41.4% to 87.9%. Stanger also
observed that tender offers for limited partnership securities are generally at
prices which represent a substantial discount to the underlying value of the
assets held by such partnerships. Furthermore, the tender offer prices are based
on oil prices prevailing at the time of the tender offer, which prices may have
been lower than oil prices prevailing at March 30, 2001 or as of the date of
mailing this document.



     Repurchase Offers.  Stanger observed that for each of the six partnerships
listed below, which Stanger calls the repurchase partnerships, Pioneer USA is
required under the partnership agreement for the partnership to offer to
repurchase units of limited partnership interests in the partnership annually at
a formula price based upon the December 31 year end reserve report. Stanger
observed that the repurchase offer pricing at December 31, 2000 tends to
overstate the value of units of the repurchase partnerships due primarily to the
oil and gas prices in effect on such date and the effect of such pricing on the
cash flows and recoverable reserves. Stanger observed that the repurchase offers
for 2000 for the repurchase partnerships are at premiums to the merger value
ranging from 24.6% to 65.6% as follows:





                                                       PER $1,000 ORIGINAL INVESTMENT

     Stanger observed that the repurchase rights may be exercised only once a
year and that a limited partner may exercise its repurchase right by delivering
a written request to Pioneer USA no later than March 31 of each year. Pioneer
USA advised Stanger that on or before May 31 of each year, Pioneer USA must
notify each limited partner who has exercised its repurchase right of the amount
of limited partnership interests to be repurchased and the method of calculating
the repurchase price. Pioneer USA advised Stanger that the aggregate amount of
limited partnership interests required to be repurchased in any one year is
limited to $100,000 per partnership. A repurchase price is calculated by
multiplying:

     - the present value of the estimated future net revenues, calculated using
       a discount rate equal to prime plus 1% as of December 31 of each year,
       from a partnership's estimated reserves, as determined by independent
       petroleum consultants; by

     - 66 2/3%.

     Stanger advised that each limited partner who has exercised its repurchase
right has 60 days to accept Pioneer USA's repurchase offer and that Pioneer USA
must pay the repurchase price to each limited partner who accepts the repurchase
offer within 30 days after acceptance.

     Stanger further advised Pioneer USA and each repurchase partnership that no
adjustment was made to the merger value offered to the repurchase partnership to
reflect the repurchase offer obligation and Stanger's opinion does not include
an opinion as to the fairness of the termination of Pioneer USA's repurchase
obligation.

     Assumptions.  Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA advised Stanger that the oil
and gas properties owned by each partnership are subject to operating agreements
with Pioneer USA and that:

     - such operating agreements provide for the payment of overhead charges and
       that such charges are reasonable compared with amounts charged for
       similar services by third party operators;

     - except for cause, such operating agreements do not provide for the
       termination of Pioneer USA as operator; and

     - such operating agreements do not provide for the revision of the overhead
       charges, except as escalated under the terms of such operating
       agreements.

Furthermore, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA advised Stanger that if each
partnership's reserves were offered for sale to a third party, a condition of
such sale would be that the oil and gas reserves would continue to be subject to
the operating agreements with Pioneer USA which provide for the payment of
overhead charges, and that it would be appropriate to assume, when estimating
the value of such reserves, that such charges would continue.

     In addition, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA advised Stanger that the
reserve value and working capital balance of each partnership has been properly
allocated between the general partners and the limited partners of each
partnership in accordance with the partnership agreement with respect to a
liquidation.

     Stanger did not conduct any engineering studies and has relied on estimates
of Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA with respect to oil and gas reserve volumes,
prices, operating costs and overhead charges with respect to the reserve value
estimates. Furthermore, Stanger has relied upon the review by Williamson of the
summary reserve reports as of March 31, 2001.

     Stanger also relied on the assurance of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and
each partnership that:

     - the summary reserve report reviewed by Williamson Petroleum Consultants,
       Inc. as of March 31, 2001, and provided to Stanger was in the judgment of
       Pioneer USA and each partnership reasonably prepared on bases consistent
       with actual historical experience and reflect their best currently
       available estimates and good faith judgments;

                                        49
   64

     - there are no estimates of costs to remediate environmental conditions
       included in the reserve analysis;

     - any historical financial data, balance sheet data, merger value analyses,
       going concern value analyses and liquidation value analyses are accurate
       and complete in all material respects;

     - all allocations included in the calculations of merger values, going
       concern values and liquidation values have been made in accordance with
       the partnership agreement of each partnership;


     - no material changes have occurred in the information reviewed or in the
       value of the oil and gas reserves or working capital balances as of March
       31, 2001, of each partnership between the date the information was
       provided to Stanger and the date of Stanger's opinion;


     - the relative ownership interests of (1) the limited partners of each
       partnership, (2) the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership,
       (3) the general partners of each partnership, (4) the unaffiliated
       limited partners of the nonmanaging general partner, if any, of each
       partnership and (5) Pioneer USA, as the managing or sole general partner
       of each partnership, is accurately included in accordance with the
       partnership agreement for each partnership in the analyses provided to
       Stanger by Pioneer USA;


     - neither Pioneer Parent or any of its affiliates has during the 30 days
       prior to the date hereof commenced or continued a share repurchase
       program or similar transaction which could affect the price of shares of
       Pioneer Parent common stock to be used in the proposed merger
       transaction; and


     - Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and each partnership are not aware of any
       information or facts regarding the partnership, the oil and gas
       properties, the reserve analysis or the working capital balances of the
       partnership that would cause the information supplied to Stanger to be
       incomplete or misleading in any material respect.

     Stanger's opinion is based upon business, economic, oil and gas market and
other conditions as of the date of its analysis and addresses the merger value
for each partnership in the context of information available as of the date of
Stanger's analysis. Events occurring after the date of Stanger's analysis could
affect the value of the assets of each partnership or the assumptions used in
the preparation of Stanger's fairness opinion.

     Conclusions.  Stanger concluded that, based upon and subject to its
analysis, assumptions, limitations and qualifications cited in its opinion, and
as of the date of the fairness opinion, the merger value for each partnership
and the allocation of the merger value of the partnership (1) to the limited
partners of the partnership as a group, (2) to the general partners of the
partnership as a group, (3) to Pioneer USA as the managing or sole general
partner of the partnership, (4) to the unaffiliated limited partners of the
partnership as a group and (5) to the unaffiliated limited partners of the
nonmanaging general partner, if any, of the partnership as a group, is fair to
the unaffiliated limited partners of the partnership and the unaffiliated
limited partners of the nonmanaging general partner, if any, of the partnership,
from a financial point of view.

     Compensation and Material Relationships.  Stanger has been paid a total fee
of $350,000 in connection with the rendering of the fairness opinion. Such fee
was not conditioned on Stanger's findings and is payable whether or not the
merger of each partnership is consummated. In addition, Stanger will be
reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees, and
will be indemnified against some liabilities, including some liabilities under
the securities laws. To the extent that such indemnification includes
liabilities arising under the federal securities laws, it may not be enforceable
as it may be determined to be against public policy.

     During the past two years, Pioneer USA engaged Stanger to render financial
advisory services in connection with proposed transactions which were withdrawn
and never consummated. In connection with such assignments Stanger was paid fees
aggregating $175,000.

SUMMARY RESERVE REPORT


     Pioneer USA engaged Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., which we call
Williamson, an independent petroleum engineering consulting firm based in
Midland, Texas, to review a summary reserve report of the property interests of
each of the partnerships as of March 31, 2001. THE FULL TEXT OF THE REVIEW OF
THE SUMMARY RESERVE REPORT BY WILLIAMSON PETROLEUM CONSULTANTS, INC. EFFECTIVE
AS OF MARCH 31, 2001, IS ATTACHED AS APPENDIX B. WE URGE YOU TO READ IT
CAREFULLY IN ITS ENTIRETY.

promulgated by the Society of Petroleum Engineers.

     Pioneer USA engaged Williamson based upon Pioneer USA's assessment of their
professional reputations and qualifications, capabilities, experience and
responsiveness. In addition, Williamson is the independent petroleum engineering
firm most familiar with the properties in which each partnership has interests
and has prepared the annual independent reserve report for each partnership's
reserves since the inception of each partnership.

     Summary of Procedures, Scope and Findings.  Williamson reviewed the
calculations of the estimated total net estimated reserves for each partnership
and the present value of the estimated future net revenues from the estimated
reserves for each partnership as of March 31, 2001, based on the following
parameters provided by Pioneer USA: (1) a five-year NYMEX futures price for oil
and gas as of March 30, 2001 with prices held constant after year five at the
year five price, less standard industry adjustments, (2) historical operating
costs adjusted only for those items affected by commodity prices, such as
production taxes and ad valorem taxes, and (3) a 10.0% discount rate. For 2001,
the oil and gas prices were based on the average NYMEX futures price for the
nine-month period beginning on April 1, 2001 and ending December 31, 2001.
Williamson's estimated total net estimated reserves and the present value of the
estimated future net revenues from the estimated reserves for each partnership
are set forth in the exhibits to the summary reserve report attached as Appendix
B to this document.

     Pioneer Parent determined the amount of Pioneer Parent common stock to be
offered. Williamson did not opine on the fairness of the transaction.

     In preparing its summary reserve report, Williamson assumed the accuracy
and completeness of all information provided by Pioneer USA or information which
was publicly available and did not attempt to independently verify such
information. Williamson did not make field inspections or judgments relative to
environmental or other legal liabilities. Except as described in this document,
Pioneer USA did not instruct Williamson as to the pricing, cost or other
economic parameters or methods or the assessment of reserves characteristics,
nor did it limit the scope of Williamson's investigation for purposes of
preparing its summary reserve report.

     Pioneer USA provided Williamson with all evaluation data with respect to
interests, reversionary status, oil and gas prices, gas categories, gas contract
terms, operating expenses, investments, salvage values, abandonment costs, net
profit interests, well information and current operating conditions for
Williamson's use in determining each partnership's reserves. Williamson used
production data provided by Pioneer USA, and where information was not provided
by Pioneer USA, Williamson used production data from public records. Williamson
prepared its own reserve estimates of the property interests.


     Williamson's review included testing and evaluating the reserve information
for all of the properties of each partnership. The review is more comprehensive
than an audit, which involves testing and evaluating the reserve information of
a representative subgroup of properties of each partnership.


     Prior Material Relationships.  Williamson has estimated total proved
reserves and the present value of estimated future revenues from those reserves
for each of the partnerships since their respective

                                        51
   66

inceptions. In addition, Pioneer USA engaged Williamson to prepare a summary
reserve report in connection with a proposed transaction in 1999, similar to the
one described in this document, which was withdrawn and never consummated.
Pioneer USA and its affiliates have paid $112,700 over the past two years to
Williamson. Neither Williamson nor any of its personnel has any direct or
indirect interest in Pioneer USA or any of the partnerships, and Williamson's
compensation is not contingent upon the results of its summary reserve report.

ALTERNATIVE TRANSACTIONS TO THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP

     We considered the following alternative types of transactions before
selecting the merger transaction described in this document. As discussed below,
we believe that the merger of each partnership is the best available alternative
for each partnership to maximize the consideration to the limited partners.


     Comparison of the Merger of Each Partnership to Continuing
Operations.  Because each partnership's properties are mature, producing
properties, we believe that production from those properties will continue to
decline at the rate predicted in the partnership's oil and gas engineering
reserve reports. Accordingly, cash distributions from each partnership will also
decline, subject to variation for changes in oil and gas prices. The marginal
benefit of continuing operations of each partnership is offset by the general
and administrative costs related to continuing operations. See "Special
Factors -- Reasons for the Merger of Each Partnership" beginning on page 38 of
this document.



     We also believe there is a substantial advantage in receiving the
liquidating distribution at present in the form of Pioneer Parent common stock,
rather than continuing to receive decreasing levels of cash distributions over a
long period of time. We believe that the merger value for each partnership is
higher than the net present value of estimated future cash distributions to the
limited partners from continued operations because the merger value has not been
reduced for the reimbursement of Pioneer USA's general and administrative
expenses allocable to the partnership. In addition, although future oil and gas
prices could be higher than the prices on March 30, 2001 which were used in
calculating the merger value for each partnership, continued operations over a
long period of time subject the limited partners of each partnership to the risk
of receiving lower levels of cash distributions if oil and gas prices over this
period are lower on average than those used in preparing the estimates of cash
distributions from continued operations. Continued operations also subject the
limited partners of each partnership to possible changes in costs or need for
workover or similar significant remedial work on each partnership's properties.
In contrast, the Pioneer Parent common stock is a liquid tradeable security
which can be sold and redeployed in other investments. The Pioneer Parent common
stock provides the limited partners of each partnership the opportunity to
participate in a larger entity having more diversified producing reserves and
other oil and gas properties, with the resulting spreading of risks.


     We expect that any nonparticipating partnership will continue operations
and will produce its reserves until depletion with steadily decreasing rates of
cash flow and, as a result, decreasing cash distributions.

     Comparison of the Merger of Each Partnership to Master Limited
Partnership.  We considered accomplishing the consolidation of each partnership
through a master limited partnership, pursuant to which the partnership
interests of the limited partners of the partnership would be exchanged for
interests in the master limited partnership. However, we believe each
partnership's oil and gas properties are not of sufficient size, individually or
in the aggregate with the other partnerships, to attract new capital through a
master limited partnership. In addition, the partnership interests in a master
limited partnership might not be traded on a national stock exchange or in any
other significant market. Some master limited partnership interests might be
sold from time to time in private or over-the-counter transactions, but the
prices would likely reflect a discount for illiquidity. As a result, we believe
a master limited partnership would not provide the limited partners with
immediate and complete liquidity for their investment in each partnership.
Finally, a master limited partnership would still be burdened with general and
administrative expenses, which would reduce any cash distributions paid to the
partners of the master limited partnership. The merger value for each
partnership reflects a liquidation value and has not been reduced for any
reimbursement of Pioneer USA's general and administrative expenses allocable to
the partnership.

                                        52
   67

     Comparison of the Merger of Each Partnership to Royalty Trust.  We also
considered a royalty trust, pursuant to which the partnership interests of each
partnership would be exchanged for beneficial ownership interests in the trust.
Like the master limited partnership alternative discussed above, we believe each
partnership's oil and gas properties are not of sufficient size, individually or
in the aggregate with the other partnerships, to attract new capital through a
royalty trust. In addition, the beneficial ownership interests in a royalty
trust might not be publicly traded in a significant market. As a result, this
alternative was not selected because we believe it would not result in immediate
and complete liquidity for the limited partners' investments in any partnership.
Finally, a royalty trust would still be burdened with general and administrative
expenses, which would reduce any cash distributions paid to the beneficiaries of
the royalty trust. The merger value for each partnership reflects a liquidation
value and has not been reduced for any reimbursement of Pioneer USA's general
and administrative expenses allocable to the partnership.

     Comparison of the Merger of Each Partnership to Production Payment.  We
also considered whether each partnership would benefit from attempting to sell a
production payment against its future oil and gas production in exchange for
cash. Like the master limited partnership and royalty trust alternatives
discussed above, we believe each partnership's oil and gas properties are not of
a sufficient size, individually or in the aggregate with the other partnerships,
to attract new capital from lenders or investors. In addition, lenders or
investors that provide production payment alternatives will not advance funds
against 100% of future oil and gas production, and typically limit any
production payment transaction to less than 70% of estimated future oil and gas
production. As a result, this alternative was not selected because we believe it
would not provide the limited partners with immediate and complete liquidity for
their investment in each partnership. Even with a production payment
transaction, each partnership would continue to be burdened with general and
administrative expenses which would reduce any cash distributions paid to the
limited partners. The merger value for each partnership reflects a liquidation
value and has not been reduced for any reimbursement of Pioneer USA's general
and administrative expenses allocable to the partnership.

     Comparison of the Merger of Each Partnership to Negotiated Sale.  We also
considered whether each partnership would benefit from attempting to sell its
property interests in negotiated transactions. Buyers would be purchasing the
partnership's property interests which they would neither control nor operate. A
portion of the properties in which each partnership owns interests would
continue to be operated by Pioneer USA because Pioneer USA controls other
interests in fields in which the partnership's properties are located. Because
of Pioneer USA's control of such properties, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA
believe Pioneer Parent is the party in the position to pay the highest price for
such interests and the one most likely to do so. In contrast, Pioneer USA's
control of such properties could negatively affect the amount a third party is
willing to pay and the overall interest of third parties in buying such
properties.

     In addition, sale of each partnership's properties on a direct basis often
involves substantial periods of time for due diligence, negotiation and
execution of agreements and closings, often with different purchasers for
different properties. Satisfying due diligence requests requires large amounts
of time to create and supervise data rooms or disseminate data to possible
purchasers, plus the time needed to deal directly with multiple prospective
purchasers. Furthermore, some issues, such as environmental and title matters,
may come to light in the late stages of a negotiated sale, which may delay or
preclude the consummation of the sale.

     The transaction costs for offering properties in a negotiated sale could be
substantial, and often are higher than other means of sale. Those costs include:

     - preparing and disseminating information on properties to be offered;

     - soliciting attendance by prospective purchasers; and

     - screening and qualifying purchasers.

     In a third party sale, we expect that each partnership would have to pay
its own expenses or that the price would be reduced to take the expenses into
account.

                                        53
   68


     Based on the factors described above, we decided to issue an invitation for
third party bids rather than conduct a full auction. That is, in September 1999
we established a price and publicly announced that we will consider third party
offers to purchase any partnership or its assets at prices that are higher than
the 1999 merger value for such partnership. We have repeated our willingness to
consider third party offers in connection with the merger of each partnership we
now propose, so long as the prices offered exceed those we are offering. We
believe this process would result in a better price to the limited partners than
if we merely offered the partnership or its assets for sale at any price.
Pioneer Parent has the right to match or top any third party offer. In addition,
any such offer would be subject to our right to continue operation of the
properties. See "The Merger of Each Partnership -- Third Party Offers" on page
65. Although we received some preliminary indications of interest from third
parties during the last quarter of 1999 and from a third party in July 2001,
none of those third parties has ever made a formal bid for any partnership or
its assets. In May and June of 2001, we were contacted by several parties
interested in purchasing partnership interests from the limited partners of
certain partnerships. See "Special Factors -- Background of the Merger of Each
Partnership" on page 36. Other than announcing that we will consider third party
offers for any partnership or its assets, we have not actively solicited bids
from third parties.

            METHOD OF DETERMINING MERGER VALUE FOR EACH PARTNERSHIP
               AND AMOUNT OF PIONEER PARENT COMMON STOCK OFFERED


     Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA have agreed to a merger value for each
partnership for purposes of the merger of the partnership. The method of
determining the merger value for each partnership was not determined by
arm's-length negotiations. See "Risk Factors -- You Were Not Independently
Represented in Establishing the Terms of the Merger of Each Partnership" on page
23 and "Interests of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and Their Directors and
Officers" on page 78. The calculations made by Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA in
determining the merger values were based primarily on data maintained by Pioneer
USA in conjunction with its responsibilities as operator of the properties and
keeper of the books and records of the partnerships.



     In March 2001, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA agreed to use March 31, 2001
to determine the merger value for each partnership and to base the number of
shares of Pioneer Parent common stock to be offered on the average closing price
of the Pioneer Parent common stock, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange,
for the ten trading days ending three business days before the initial date of
the special meeting for each partnership. On July 27, 2001, it was agreed that
each participating partnership would bear its pro rata portion of the merger
expenses and that Pioneer Parent would bear the merger expenses of the
nonparticipating partnerships and the merger expenses in excess of $2,000,000.
The method of determining the merger value was finalized on August 17, 2001,
when Pioneer USA received the summary letter of Williamson Petroleum
Consultants, Inc. reviewing estimates of each partnership's reserves. For
purposes of illustration in this document, we have calculated the number of
shares to be issued based on an assumed average closing price of $18.00 per
share of Pioneer Parent common stock. Prior to the date of the special meeting
for each partnership, we will update the number of shares to be issued using the
actual average closing price of Pioneer Parent common stock for the ten trading
days ending three business days before the initial date scheduled for the
special meeting. Neither Pioneer Parent nor Pioneer USA will adjust any of the
other components of the merger value for any partnership.


COMPONENTS OF MERGER VALUE FOR EACH PARTNERSHIP

     Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA calculated the merger value assigned to each
partnership as follows:

     - Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA agreed to use the volumes of the
       partnership's estimated reserves as of March 31, 2001, as taken from the
       summary reserve report reviewed by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc.
       as of March 31, 2001.


     - Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA agreed to use the present value of
       estimated future net revenues for each partnership from the estimated
       reserves for each partnership at March 31, 2001, as reviewed by
       Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. in its summary reserve report
       dated August 17, 2001. In its review, Williamson Petroleum Consultants,
       Inc. evaluated the methods and procedures used by Pioneer USA in the
       preparation of Pioneer USA's estimates of reserves and associated future
       net revenue and rendered its opinion that the estimates are reasonable in
       the aggregate and prepared in accordance with generally accepted
       petroleum engineering and evaluation principles. See Appendix B to this
       document. The reserve value component of the merger value for each
       partnership is also set forth in Table 16 of Appendix A to this document.
       Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA instructed Williamson to use the following
       parameters in calculating the present value of estimated future net
       revenues: (1) a five-year NYMEX futures price for oil and gas as of March
       30, 2001, with prices held constant after year five at the year five
       price, less standard industry adjustments, (2) historical operating costs
       adjusted only for those items affected by commodity prices, such as
       production taxes and ad valorem taxes, and (3) a discount rate of 10.0%.
       For 2001, the oil and gas prices were based on the average NYMEX futures
       price for the nine-month period beginning on April 1, 2001 and ending
       December 31, 2001. See the table on page 7 for the NYMEX futures prices.
       Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA believe that the five-year


                                        55
   70
      NYMEX futures prices provide a reasonable benchmark on the outlook for
      energy prices and are regularly used by financial markets, industry
      participants, and lenders in evaluating transactions.

      - The standard industry price adjustments include:

        (1) the effects of oil quality;

        (2) British thermal unit, or BTU, content for gas;

        (3) any bonus paid;

        (4) oil and gas gathering and transportation costs; and

        (5) gas processing costs and shrinkage.

        Those adjustments reflect assumptions about the costs to extract,
        transport and process, if necessary, crude oil, natural gas liquids and
        natural gas to their point of sale.


      - Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA agreed to use a 10.0% discount rate
        because Pioneer Parent believes that a 10% discount rate is necessary
        based upon the risks involved in the oil and gas industry and Pioneer
        Parent's requirement to achieve a minimum rate of return on its
        investment.



     - Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA added the present value of the
       partnership's estimated future net revenues as of March 31, 2001 to the
       partnership's net working capital as of March 31, 2001 and then reduced
       that sum by (i) the partnership's pro rata share, based on its reserve
       value, of the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the
       partnerships and (2) the cash distribution mailed on July 13, 2001, by
       the partnership to its partners. Since the merger value for each
       partnership includes net working capital, the merger value assigned to
       the partnership includes the partnership's assets and liabilities other
       than its oil and gas reserves. Each partnership's other assets and
       liabilities consist mainly of cash, accounts receivable from the sale of
       oil and gas production and accounts payable.


     - The number of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock to be issued to the
       limited partners of each partnership upon the merger of the partnership
       will be determined by dividing the merger value assigned to the
       partnership by the value of one share of Pioneer Parent common stock
       determined as described below. For purposes of example in this document,
       a share of Pioneer Parent common stock has been valued at an assumed
       average closing price of $18.00. However, on the closing date of the
       merger of each partnership, the value of a share of Pioneer Parent common
       stock will be recalculated by computing the average closing price of the
       Pioneer Parent common stock, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange,
       for the ten trading days ending three business days before the initial
       date of the special meeting for each partnership. This recalculated
       value, and not the assumed average closing price of $18.00 per share of
       Pioneer Parent common stock, used for illustration purposes in this
       document and on each limited partner's proxy card, will be used to
       determine the actual number of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock to
       be issued in the merger of each partnership. The recalculated value may
       be more or less than the assumed average closing price of $18.00 per
       share of Pioneer Parent common stock. Pioneer Parent may abandon the
       proposed merger of any or all of the partnerships at any time prior to
       the special meeting for any such partnership for any reason including
       changes in, among other things, the price of Pioneer Parent common stock,
       the market prices for oil and gas generally or the oil and gas industry
       generally.


     Distributions.  No cash distributions will be made by any partnership to
its partners after the distribution made on July 13, 2001, through the closing
date or termination date of the merger of the partnership. The Pioneer Parent
common stock to be distributed as payment of the merger value of each
participating partnership already reflects the expected amount of those
distributions. However, any cash distributions by a nonparticipating partnership
which would have been paid during that time period in the ordinary course of
that partnership's business will be distributed to its partners at about the
same time that


                                        56
   71

the certificates representing Pioneer Parent common stock are mailed to the
partners of each participating partnership.

     Liabilities.  Pioneer USA will assume all of the liabilities, including
contingent liabilities and obligations, of each participating partnership as of
the closing date of the merger of the partnership. As of the date of this
document, Pioneer USA is not aware of any material contingent liabilities to
which any partnership is subject.


     Expenses.  The expenses and fees to be incurred in connection with the
merger of each partnership are expected to be approximately $2.0 million in
total. Each participating partnership will pay its pro rata share, based on its
reserve value, of those estimated expenses and fees. Pioneer Parent will pay the
pro rata share of each nonparticipating partnership's estimated expenses and
fees. Pioneer Parent has also agreed to pay any expenses and fees actually
incurred in excess of $2.0 million and, if Pioneer Parent terminates or abandons
the merger as to any partnership, any expenses or fees allocated to that
partnership. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA have reduced each partnership's
merger value by that partnership's pro rata share of the estimated expenses and
fees.


ALLOCATION OF MERGER VALUE FOR EACH PARTNERSHIP AMONG PARTNERS OF THE
PARTNERSHIP

     In determining the portion of the merger value attributable to each $1,000
of initial limited partner investment in a partnership, Pioneer Parent
determined the amount payable per $1,000 investment as if the assets of the
partnership had been sold on March 31, 2001 for cash equal to the merger value
of the partnership and the proceeds distributed in accordance with the
liquidation provisions of the partnership's partnership agreement. The limited
partners of each participating partnership would receive the same amounts if the
merger value of the partnership was allocated among the partners based on the
revenue-sharing provisions of the partnership agreement except for each of the
following partnerships which will receive more proceeds under the liquidation
provisions of its respective partnership agreement than under its
revenue-sharing provisions due to certain prospect-by-prospect payout provisions
not being met:

        Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd.
        Parker & Parsley 81-II, Ltd.
        Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd.
        Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd.
        Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd.

OTHER METHODS OF DETERMINING MERGER VALUES


     Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA believe that the method used to determine
the merger value for each partnership is a fair and reasonable method of valuing
the partnership's properties. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA considered a number
of alternative methods of determining the merger value for each partnership
before selecting a method. However, the selected method might not accurately
reflect the value of each partnership's assets. See "Risk Factors -- Risk
Factors Relating to the Merger of Each Partnership -- The Merger Values for a
Partnership Will Not be Adjusted For Changes in Oil and Gas Prices Before the
Completion of Its Merger" on page 22. The following alternative methods for
determining the merger value for each partnership should be taken into account
in assessing the adequacy of the selected method.


     Book Value of Assets.  Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA did not base the
calculation of merger value for each partnership on the net book value of the
partnership's assets. The net book value of each partnership's assets is based
upon the financial statements reported in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. The net book value is not adjusted for estimates in
changes in the fair market value of the assets. For this reason, Pioneer Parent
and Pioneer USA believe that the merger value for each partnership is more
indicative of the fair market value of the assets of each partnership than the
net book value of the partnership's assets. See the supplemental information
table on the second page of the supplement for each partnership for the
partnership's merger value and its book value, in each case per $1,000 limited
partner investment. In all cases except Parker & Parsley 81-II, Ltd., the merger
value is
                                        57
   72

higher than the book value. For Parker & Parsley 81-II, Ltd., the merger value
is lower than book value because of the long-lived nature of the oil and gas
properties owned by Parker & Parsley 81-II, Ltd. The merger value of Parker &
Parsley 81-II, Ltd. takes into account the discounting effect of owning
long-lived oil and gas reserves that is not reflected in a book value
computation for the partnership. Nonetheless, Pioneer USA has determined that
the merger transaction is fair to the limited partners of Parker & Parsley
81-II, Ltd. (1) for the reasons noted above and (2) because Pioneer Parent and
Pioneer USA believe that the five-year NYMEX futures prices used in the
calculation of the merger value for the partnership (A) provide a reasonable
benchmark on the outlook for energy prices, (B) are regularly used by financial
markets, industry participants, and lenders in evaluating transactions, and (C)
are higher than historic prices.

     Trading Price of Units.  None of the partnership interests are traded on a
national stock exchange or in any other significant market. Although some
partnership interests are occasionally sold in private or an informal secondary
market for limited partner securities, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA believe
any market for the partnership interests is not reliable as an indicator of
value because any such market is highly illiquid and generally reflects an
illiquidity discount. As a result, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA did not base
the calculation of the merger value for any partnership on recent trading prices
of partnership interests in the partnership. See Table 15 of Appendix A for
historical information about recent trades of partnership interests in each
partnership.


     Repurchase Offers.  Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA did not base the
calculation of the merger value for any partnership on the price of recent
repurchase offers in the partnership. Most partnerships do not have a repurchase
offer obligation, so no repurchase price information was available for those
partnerships. Of the partnerships with a repurchase offer obligation, the most
recent repurchase offers were based on December 31, 2000 oil and gas prices. The
merger value for each partnership with repurchase offer obligations is lower
than the 2001 repurchase offer price for the partnership because the repurchase
price was based on NYMEX oil and gas prices as of December 31, 2000, which were
$26.69 per Bbl of oil and $9.95 per Mcf of gas. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA
believe that the repurchase obligation is not an indicator of fair value because
it is calculated annually on December 31 using oil and gas prices for that
specific day. The value determined under the repurchase obligation does not
adequately reflect future demand and supply fundamentals which have historically
resulted in significant volatility to oil and gas prices. See "Risk
Factors -- Risk Factors Relating to the Merger of Each Partnership -- Repurchase
Offers in 2001 By Each of the Six Partnerships with a Repurchase Obligation were
Higher than the Merger Value for the Partnership" on page 24 of this document
and Table 8 of Appendix A to this document for information on each partnership
with repurchase offer obligations.



     Timing of Pricing.  Oil and gas prices have recovered from NYMEX oil and
gas prices of $12.00 per Bbl of oil and $2.00 per Mcf of gas as of December 31,
1998, to the five-year NYMEX futures prices for oil and gas as of March 30,
2001, set forth in the table on page 7 of this document. Pioneer Parent and
Pioneer USA used those recovered oil and gas prices to calculate the merger
value for each partnership. Future oil and gas prices could be higher or lower
than the prices on March 30, 2001 which were used in calculating the merger
value for each partnership. Significant increases in future prices would
increase cash available for distribution from each partnership and could, in
retrospect, suggest that the merger value for such partnership was low by
comparison. If those prices were to continue to prevail in the future, the
merger value for each partnership would appear low by comparison. In contrast,
however, if those prices decline in the future, the merger value for each
partnership would appear high by comparison.

                         THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP

GENERAL

     Immediately before the effective time of the merger of each participating
partnership, the partnership agreement for the partnership will be amended by
the merger amendment to permit the merger of the partnership with and into us.
At the effective time of the merger of each participating partnership, the
partnership will be merged with and into us. We will be the surviving entity. In
addition, at the effective time of the merger of each participating partnership,
each of your partnership interests in the partnership will be converted into the
right to receive Pioneer Parent common stock.

LEGAL OPINION FOR LIMITED PARTNERS

     Each of the partnership agreements, except the partnership agreement for
Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 88-A, L.P., requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners of each partnership
to Pioneer USA that neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve
the merger of the partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the
federal income tax classification of the partnership or any of its limited
partners. In addition, the partnership agreement for each of the following
partnerships requires an opinion that neither the grant nor exercise of such
right will result in the loss of any limited partner's limited liability:

Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 81-II, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 83-B, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 85-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 85-B, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley Private Investment 85-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley Selected 85 Private Investment, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 86-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 86-B, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 86-C, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley Private Investment 86, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 87-A Conv., Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 87-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 87-B, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-B, Ltd.

     For each of the partnerships, other than those listed below, the counsel
designated to render the opinion described above must be counsel other than
counsel to Pioneer USA or any partnership:

Parker & Parsley 88-A Conv., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 88-A, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 88-B Conv., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 88-B, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 88-C Conv., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 88-C, L.P.
Parker & Parsley Private Investment 88, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 89-A Conv., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 89-A, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 89-B Conv., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 89-B, L.P.
Parker & Parsley Private Investment 89, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 90-A Conv., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 90-A, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 90-B Conv., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 90-B, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 90-C Conv., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 90-C, L.P.
Parker & Parsley Private Investment 90, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 90 Spraberry Private Dev., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P.

     In all cases, the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners of each partnership.


     Neither Pioneer Parent nor Pioneer USA believe that approval of the legal
opinions of the special legal counsel to the limited partners will have any
effect on any rights the limited partners may have to bring suit against Pioneer
Parent or Pioneer USA (other than any claim of breach of these provisions of the
partnership agreements), nor do Pioneer Parent or Pioneer USA expect that
approval of the legal


                                        59
   74


opinions would alter any right the limited partners may have to bring suit
against the special legal counsel to the limited partners. Pioneer Parent and
Pioneer USA believe that these provisions of the partnership agreement were
written at a time when the effect of limited partner votes were not well
established under tax and limited partnership laws. More recent partnership
agreements generally do not have these kinds of requirements because revised
uniform limited partnership laws and amendments to tax laws and regulations have
eliminated these issues for most typical partnership voting situations.



     In all cases, Pioneer USA has retained           of      ,      for the
purpose of rendering the legal opinions described above on behalf of the limited
partners of each partnership to Pioneer USA.           is not affiliated with
Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA or any of the partnerships. The merger proposals for
each partnership include an approval of that counsel and the form of its
opinion. See "The Special Meetings  -- Time and Place; Purpose" on page 58 of
this document. A copy of the opinion is attached as an exhibit to the merger
proposals for each partnership.


DISTRIBUTION OF PIONEER PARENT COMMON STOCK

     Upon completion of the merger of each participating partnership, the
partners of the partnership will have no continuing interest in, or rights as
partners of, the partnership. The transfer books of each participating
partnership will be closed on the closing date of the merger of the partnership.
All partnership interests in each participating partnership will cease to be
outstanding, will automatically be cancelled and retired, and will cease to
exist. The certificates previously representing partnership interests in each
participating partnership held by record partners will represent only the right
to receive Pioneer Parent common stock.

     We intend to mail certificates representing Pioneer Parent common stock to
the partners of record of each participating partnership promptly following the
effectiveness of the merger of the partnership in payment of the merger value
for the partnership. Partners of each participating partnership will not be
required to surrender partnership interest certificates to receive the Pioneer
Parent common stock.

FRACTIONAL SHARES

     Pioneer Parent will not issue fractional shares to any limited partner upon
completion of the merger of any partnership. For each fractional share that
would otherwise be issued, Pioneer Parent will round any fractional shares of
Pioneer Parent common stock up to the nearest whole share.


MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES



     The legal conclusions contained in the following summary of the material
federal income tax consequences of the conversion of partnership interests into
Pioneer Parent common stock pursuant to the merger of each participating
partnership constitute the opinion of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., counsel for
Pioneer Parent, based upon the facts and assumptions set forth in the
registration statement on Form S-4 of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a
part and upon current law. Future legislative, judicial or administrative
changes or interpretations could alter or modify the following statements and
conclusions, and any of these changes or interpretations could be retroactive
and could affect the tax consequences to the limited partners of each
partnership. Further, any inaccuracy in any of the facts or assumptions set
forth in the registration statement could adversely affect or render obsolete
the opinion.



     The opinion does not contain an exhaustive discussion of all possible tax
consequences. It does not address any state, local or foreign tax consequences,
nor does it discuss all of the aspects of federal income taxation that may be
relevant to specific partners in light of their particular circumstances. The
opinion describes the material federal income tax consequences applicable to
individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States, and therefore
has limited application to domestic corporations and persons subject to
specialized federal income tax treatment, such as foreign persons, tax-exempt
entities, regulated investment companies and insurance companies. The federal
tax consequences of each merger will vary for each limited partner because of
the different circumstances of each participating partnership and the individual
federal income tax position of each limited partner.

   75


     THE STATEMENTS AND CONCLUSIONS BELOW DO NOT ADDRESS THE PARTICULAR FACTS
AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF ANY PARTICULAR LIMITED PARTNER. YOU ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT
YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE ALL OF THE RELEVANT FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL
TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EACH MERGER PARTICULAR TO YOU.


  Tax Consequences of a Conversion of Partnership Interests.


     - Generally.  As more fully described below, if you own partnership
       interests in a participating partnership, you will generally recognize an
       aggregate amount of net gain or loss equal to the difference between (1)
       the fair market value of Pioneer Parent common stock you receive in the
       merger of that partnership and (2) your adjusted tax basis in your
       partnership interests exclusive of any basis attributable to liabilities
       of the partnership immediately prior to the merger. A component of that
       net gain or loss may be ordinary income or ordinary loss depending upon
       the extent of any recapture of depletion or intangible drilling and
       development costs and any appreciation or depreciation in the ordinary
       assets of the partnership. The recognition of ordinary income will
       decrease the capital gain component or increase the capital loss
       component of the net gain or loss otherwise recognizable as a consequence
       of the merger.


     - Characterization of the Merger of Each Partnership.  The merger of a
       participating partnership into Pioneer USA should be treated for federal
       income tax purposes as a sale by such partnership of its assets for
       Pioneer Parent common stock followed by a distribution of the Pioneer
       Parent common stock received in liquidation of the limited partnership
       interests. Under Section 613A of the Internal Revenue Code, each of the
       partners of such partnership must:

      - maintain the partner's share of the basis in the partnership's oil and
        gas properties at the partner level;

      - adjust such basis for depletion deductions; and

      - use such basis to calculate gain or loss at the partner level on any
        sale by the partnership of its oil and gas properties.

     Accordingly, each of the mergers should be generally treated for tax
computation purposes as:

      - a taxable sale by you of your interest in a participating partnership's
        oil and gas properties for Pioneer Parent common stock and the
        assumption of liabilities; and

      - a taxable sale of any remaining partnership assets by the participating
        partnership for Pioneer Parent common stock followed by a liquidation of
        the participating partnership.

     - Gain or Loss on Sale of Partnership Oil and Gas Properties.  Upon the
       deemed sale of a partnership's oil and gas properties in the merger of
       the partnership, you will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference
       between:

      - the portion of the partnership's "amount realized" on the sale of its
        oil and gas properties allocated to you; and

      - your adjusted tax basis in the partnership oil and gas properties sold,
        which must be reduced to reflect depletion claimed during the current
        year in respect of production prior to the date of the merger.

     The amount realized will include the fair market value of Pioneer Parent
common stock received and the amount of any liability assumed by Pioneer USA in
connection with the merger of the partnership which is attributable to the
partnership's oil and gas properties. If gain is recognized on such sale, the
portion of the gain that is treated as recapture of intangible drilling and
development costs or depletion will be treated as ordinary income. See
"Recapture of Intangible Drilling and Development Costs" and "Recapture of
Depletion" below. The remainder of such gain generally will constitute "Section
1231 gain." If loss is recognized on such sale, such loss generally will
constitute "Section 1231 loss." See "Section 1231 Gains and Losses" below. You
must take into account your share of the portion of the gain that constitutes
recapture income, if any, as ordinary income and must aggregate your share of
the
                                        61
   76


Section 1231 gains and losses described above with any Section 1231 gains and
losses you realize from other sources.


     - Other Gain or Loss.  You will also recognize your allocable share of the
       partnership's gain or loss, if any, on the deemed sale of its assets
       other than oil and gas properties. Such gain or loss will be equal to the
       difference between the amount realized by the partnership on the sale of
       such assets and the partnership's adjusted tax basis in such assets. Such
       gain or loss will be capital or ordinary depending on the nature of the
       assets sold.

     Finally, in the event that the fair market value of Pioneer Parent common
stock you receive in the merger of the partnership is more or less than the
adjusted tax basis in your partnership interests, as adjusted to reflect gains
and losses described in the two preceding paragraphs as well as the effects of
the partnership's current year activities, then upon the deemed liquidation of a
partnership, you will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference
between such amounts. See "Tax Consequences of Partnership Operations" below.


     Pioneer USA will provide you with information necessary to make the
calculations under Section 613A of the Internal Revenue Code described above for
purposes of filing your own federal income tax return. In order to simplify your
federal income tax reporting, this information will include a calculation of the
amount and character of your gain on the deemed sale of the partnership's oil
and gas properties based upon our estimates. You should verify the accuracy of
these calculations based upon your own records.


     - Section 1231 Gains and Losses.  Generally, if the total amount of the
       Section 1231 gains exceeds the total amount of Section 1231 losses, all
       such gains and losses will be treated as capital gains and losses, and if
       the total amount of the Section 1231 losses exceeds the total amount of
       the gains, all such gains and losses will be treated as ordinary income
       and losses. However, your net Section 1231 gains will be treated as
       ordinary income to the extent of your net Section 1231 losses during the
       immediately preceding five years, reduced by any amount of net Section
       1231 losses that have been previously "recaptured" by you pursuant to
       this rule.

     - Recapture of Intangible Drilling and Development Costs.  Generally, all
       or a portion of the amounts previously deducted for intangible drilling
       and development costs for a property must be recaptured upon the
       disposition of such property by treating the gain, if any, realized on
       such disposition as ordinary income to the extent of such amounts. For a
       property placed in service prior to 1987, the potential recapture amount
       is equal to the excess of the aggregate amounts previously deducted for
       intangible drilling and development costs for such property over the
       amount by which the deduction for depletion for such property would have
       been increased had the intangible drilling and development costs been
       capitalized and recovered through depletion rather than deducted in the
       year incurred. It should be noted that, if percentage depletion, rather
       than cost depletion, has been claimed for such property, the hypothetical
       capitalization of intangible drilling and development costs may result in
       little or no increase in depletion deductions and, as a consequence, most
       or all of the intangible drilling and development costs for such property
       may be subject to recapture. For property placed in service during 1987
       or thereafter, the full amount of intangible drilling and development
       costs previously deducted, unreduced by depletion, is subject to
       recapture to the extent of any gain.

     - Recapture of Depletion.  Upon the disposition of a property that was
       placed in service during 1987 or thereafter, all amounts previously
       deducted for depletion, whether cost depletion or percentage depletion,
       to the extent such amounts reduced the basis in the property, must be
       recaptured by treating the gain, if any, recognized on such disposition
       as ordinary income to the extent of such amounts. No such recapture rule
       is applicable to a property placed in service before 1987.

     - Tax Rates.  The capital gains rate for individuals and other
       non-corporate taxpayers is 20% if the capital asset has been held for
       more than one year at the time of consummation of the merger of each
       partnership. Corporate taxpayers are taxed at a maximum marginal rate of
       35% for both

                                        62
   77


       capital gains and ordinary income. The maximum marginal federal income
       tax rate for ordinary income of individuals and other non-corporate
       taxpayers is 39.1% for the 2001 calendar year under recent legislation.
       Capital losses are deductible only to the extent of capital gains, except
       that, subject to the passive activity loss limitation discussed below,
       non-corporate taxpayers may deduct up to $3,000 of capital losses in
       excess of the amount of their capital gains against ordinary income.
       Excess capital losses generally can be carried forward to succeeding
       years. A corporation is permitted to carry back excess capital losses to
       the three preceding years, provided the carryback does not increase or
       produce a net operating loss for any of those years. A corporation's
       carryforward period is five years and a non-corporate taxpayer can carry
       such losses forward indefinitely.


     - Passive Activity Loss Limitation.  Under Section 469 of the Internal
       Revenue Code, any losses from any participating partnership that have
       been suspended under the passive loss rules will become fully deductible
       as a result of the merger of any such partnership.


     FIRPTA Withholding.  Gain recognized by a foreign limited partner on the
sale by a participating partnership of its assets pursuant to the merger of the
partnership will be subject to federal income tax if such gain is effectively
connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business by the partnership or the
foreign limited partner. Gain recognized on the sale of U.S. real property,
including a participating partnership's oil and gas properties, is treated as
effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business for this
purpose. Under Internal Revenue Code Section 1446, a participating partnership
in which an interest is held by a foreign person generally is required to deduct
and withhold a tax equal to the highest marginal federal income tax rate
applicable to the partner multiplied by such partner's allocable share of
effectively connected income. In order to comply with this requirement, each
participating partnership will withhold the prescribed percentage of the
effectively connected income allocated to you unless you properly complete and
sign a certification of non-foreign status certifying your taxpayer
identification number and address, and that you are not a foreign person.
Amounts withheld will be creditable against a limited partner's federal income
tax liability and, if in excess thereof, a refund may be obtained from the
Internal Revenue Service by filing a U.S. income tax return.



     Tax Consequences of Partnership Operations.  The federal income tax
consequences of the merger of each partnership, described above, are in addition
to the tax consequences of a participating partnership for the taxable year
ending on the closing date of the merger of the partnership. You must include
your allocable share of a participating partnership's items of income, gain,
loss, deduction and credit for that taxable year, including your allocable share
through the closing date of the merger of the partnership, on your federal
income tax return for that taxable year. That information will be provided to
you by or on behalf of the partnership on a Schedule K-1 as required by tax law.
The results of partnership operations for such period will impact your tax basis
in your interest in a participating partnership, and your computation of gain or
loss resulting from the merger of the partnership.


ACCOUNTING TREATMENT

     The merger of each participating partnership will be accounted for as a
purchase under generally accepted accounting principles. Under those rules,
Pioneer USA will record the assets and liabilities of each participating
partnership on its books at its estimated fair market value.

EFFECT OF DEBT OWED BY A LIMITED PARTNER TO PIONEER USA ON AMOUNT OF PIONEER
PARENT COMMON STOCK TO BE RECEIVED BY THE LIMITED PARTNER

     If a limited partner is indebted to Pioneer USA for any portion of the
limited partner's original investment in the partnership, Pioneer USA plans to
apply the Pioneer Parent common stock that would otherwise be distributed to the
limited partner upon completion of the merger of the partnership against that
limited partner's indebtedness. If a limited partner's indebtedness to Pioneer
USA is less than the merger value allocated to limited partnership interests
held by the limited partner, the limited partner will receive Pioneer Parent
common stock equal to the amount by which such merger value exceeds such

                                        63
   78

indebtedness. If a limited partner's indebtedness to Pioneer USA is greater than
the merger value allocated to the limited partnership interests held by the
limited partner, Pioneer USA may collect the deficiency from the limited
partner.

EFFECT OF MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP ON LIMITED PARTNERS WHO DO NOT VOTE IN
FAVOR OF THE MERGER; NO APPRAISAL OR DISSENTERS' RIGHTS

     You will be bound by the merger of each partnership in which you own an
interest if the limited partners in the partnership vote a majority, or 66 2/3%
for Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P., of their
partnership interests in favor of the merger, even if you vote against the
merger or do not vote. If the merger of the partnership occurs, you will be
entitled to receive only Pioneer Parent common stock based on the merger value
of your partnership interests in the partnership. Under the laws of the State of
Delaware and the State of Texas, which are the states of formation of the
partnerships, you are not entitled to appraisal or dissenters' rights with
respect to the merger of any partnership.

FUTURE OF NONPARTICIPATING PARTNERSHIPS

     If the limited partners of a partnership do not approve the merger of that
partnership, the partnership will remain in existence. Each nonparticipating
partnership will continue to operate as a separate legal entity with its own
assets and liabilities. There will be no immediate change in its business
objectives, and Pioneer USA plans to continue to manage and operate each
nonparticipating partnership in accordance with the terms of its current
partnership agreement. A limited partner in a nonparticipating partnership will
retain the rights, privileges and obligations that the limited partner currently
has pursuant to the partnership agreement of the nonparticipating partnership.
At about the same time that Pioneer USA mails certificates for Pioneer Parent
common stock to the partners of each participating partnership in payment of the
merger value for the partnership, Pioneer USA will mail any cash distributions
that were delayed for administrative purposes prior to the completion of the
merger of each participating partnership to the partners of each
nonparticipating partnership.

     Pioneer USA's board of directors will determine each nonparticipating
partnership's business plan. In addition, the board of directors of each of
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA will decide what, if any, actions they will take
with respect to each nonparticipating partnership. Potential activities may
include a tender offer for partnership interests of limited partners or a
proposal to acquire the assets of, or merge with, one or more of the
nonparticipating partnerships. Such proposals may be on terms similar to or
different from those of the merger of each partnership described in this
document.

     Pioneer USA plans to continue to manage each nonparticipating partnership
until such partnership is dissolved or Pioneer USA is replaced as the general
partner of such partnership. The replacement of Pioneer USA as general partner
would require compliance with the partnership agreement of such nonparticipating
partnership, including the requisite vote of the limited partners thereof. A
nonparticipating partnership may be dissolved in the future in accordance with
its partnership agreement if Pioneer USA or any substituted general partner
withdraws from the nonparticipating partnership, or in some cases, otherwise
elects to dissolve that partnership. Pioneer USA might withdraw from, or
otherwise elect to dissolve, a nonparticipating partnership if Pioneer USA
determines that the nonparticipating partnership's continued operation is
uneconomical or its dissolution and liquidation are in the best interests of the
partners of that partnership. Upon dissolution, the nonparticipating
partnership's assets may be sold for cash or securities, which may be more or
less than the merger value assigned to that partnership, or distributed in kind
to the partners of the nonparticipating partnership. Any such sale may be to
Pioneer Parent or an affiliate of Pioneer Parent and may involve cash or
securities of Pioneer Parent.

NONMANAGING GENERAL PARTNERS OF SOME PARTNERSHIPS


     Eight of the partnerships described in this document have two general
partners. In those eight partnerships, Pioneer USA is the managing general
partner. The second general partner in those partnerships is a partnership whose
limited partners are former affiliates of Pioneer Parent's predecessors.

The names of the eight partnerships and the names of the nonmanaging general
partner in each of those partnerships are:

  Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd..................................   P&P Employees 84-A, Ltd.


     Pioneer USA is the sole general partner of each of the nonmanaging general
partners. In that capacity, Pioneer USA has authority:

     - to cause the nonmanaging general partner to perform its obligations
       relating to the partnership described above; and

     - to exercise on behalf of the nonmanaging general partner all of the
       rights and elections granted to the nonmanaging general partner by the
       partnership described above.


     None of the nonmanaging general partners has the right to vote on the
merger of any partnership. However, Pioneer USA, as the general partner of each
nonmanaging general partner, has approved the merger of each partnership and the
distribution of this document to the limited partners of each partnership and to
the unaffiliated limited partners of each nonmanaging general partner, if any,
of each partnership. The merger value attributable to the unaffiliated limited
partners of the nonmanaging general partners is $203,347, consisting of
approximately 11,298 shares of Pioneer Parent common stock in the aggregate
assuming an average closing price of $18.00 per share of Pioneer Parent common
stock. Pioneer USA will not receive any Pioneer Parent common stock in any
merger for its partnership interests in any nonmanaging general partner.


THIRD PARTY OFFERS


     Pioneer USA will consider offers from third parties to purchase any
partnership or its assets. Those who wish to make an offer for any partnership
or its assets must demonstrate to Pioneer USA's reasonable satisfaction their
financial ability and willingness to complete such a transaction. Before
reviewing non-public information about a partnership, a third party will need to
enter into a customary confidentiality agreement. Offers should be at prices and
on terms that are fair to the partners of the partnership for which the offer is
being made and more favorable to the unaffiliated limited partners than the
prices and terms proposed for the merger of that partnership in this document.
Pioneer Parent reserves the right to match or top any such offer. In addition,
any such offer would be subject to Pioneer USA's right to continue operation of
the properties. Since first announcing our willingness to consider third party
offers in September 1999, Pioneer USA has not received any third party offer for
any partnership or its assets. Other than announcing that we will consider third
party offers for any partnership or its assets we have not actively solicited
bids from third parties. Persons desiring to make an offer for any partnership
should contact Timothy L. Dove or Mark L. Withrow, Board of Directors, Pioneer
Natural Resources USA, Inc., 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039 by August 1, 2001.


MERGER AMENDMENT

     In order to complete the merger of each partnership, the partnership
agreement for the partnership requires an amendment to add a provision
permitting the merger of the partnership with and into Pioneer USA. See the
merger proposals, which include the merger amendment, set forth in Appendix E to
this document. At the special meeting for each partnership, the limited partners
of the partnership will vote

                                        65
   80

upon the merger amendment, which, if approved, will be effective immediately
prior to the effectiveness of the merger of the partnership.

TERMINATION OF REGISTRATION AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

     As a result of the merger of each participating partnership, the
partnership interests in the partnership, as well as the partnership itself,
will cease to exist. Twenty-five of the partnerships described in this document
have registered their partnership interests under, or are otherwise subject to
the informational requirements of, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. See
"Where You Can Find More Information" for a list of those partnerships. Upon the
completion of the merger of each reporting partnership, Pioneer USA intends to
terminate:

     - registration of the partnership interests of the partnership under the
       Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and

     - the partnership's obligations to file reports and other information under
       the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

     Pioneer USA plans to cause each nonparticipating partnership that is also a
reporting partnership to continue to file reports and other information under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However, Pioneer USA's board of directors
could determine in the future to cause each such partnership to terminate its
reporting obligations as permitted by federal securities laws.


     The advantages of remaining registered, or remaining obligated to file
reports, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 include the informational and
reporting requirements under that act, including requirements related to tender
offers, proxy solicitation and consents and insiders' transactions in
partnership interests. Those reporting requirements may provide limited partners
with more detailed information on a more frequent basis than might otherwise be
required under the partnership agreement for the partnership. In addition, a
partnership's filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available to
the public over the Internet at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov and are also
available at the SEC's public reference rooms in Washington, D.C., New York, New
York and Chicago, Illinois.


     The disadvantages of remaining registered, or remaining obligated to file
reports, include the partnership's cost to prepare and distribute the various
reports and other information required under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Deregistering the partnership interests of a nonparticipating partnership
or otherwise terminating its filing and reporting obligations could reduce that
partnership's general and administrative expenses because the reporting
obligations of the partnership under its partnership agreement require annual
and semi-annual reports, but not quarterly reports.

ELIMINATION OF A FAIRNESS OPINION REQUIREMENT THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BENEFIT
PIONEER USA


     Pioneer USA, as the sole general partner of each of Parker & Parsley 91-A,
L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P., is entitled to receive an opinion as to
the fairness of the proposed merger transaction to Pioneer USA in its capacity
as sole general partner of each of those partnerships. However, since Pioneer
Parent and Pioneer USA are the parties making the offer for the proposed merger
transaction, Pioneer USA will not seek such a fairness opinion. In addition,
Pioneer USA, as the sole general partner of each of those two partnerships, is
entitled to amend, and Pioneer USA will amend, the partnership agreement for the
partnership to eliminate the requirement for such fairness opinion for Pioneer
USA in connection with the proposed merger of the partnership.

PAYMENT OF EXPENSES AND FEES

     Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA estimate that the aggregate expenses and
fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships will be as follows:


                                                        
Filing fee with SEC.....................................   $   20,500
Legal fees..............................................      350,000
Accounting fees.........................................      100,000
Financial advisor fees..................................      350,000
Independent petroleum consultant fees...................       50,000
Printing and mailing fees...............................      850,000
Information agent fees and solicitation and tabulation
  expenses..............................................      225,000
Miscellaneous...........................................       54,500
                                                           ----------
          Total expenses................................   $2,000,000
                                                           ==========



     Each participating partnership will pay its pro rata share, based on its
reserve value, of the aggregate estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of
all of the partnerships. Pioneer Parent will pay the pro rata share of each
nonparticipating partnership's estimated expenses and fees. Pioneer Parent has
also agreed to pay any expenses and fees actually incurred in excess of $2.0
million and if Pioneer Parent terminates or abandons the merger as to any
partnership, any expenses or fees allocated to that partnership. Pioneer Parent
and Pioneer USA have reduced the net working capital component of each
partnership's merger value by that partnership's pro rata share of the estimated
expenses and fees.

                              THE MERGER AGREEMENT


     The following describes the material terms of the merger agreement. Pioneer
Parent and Pioneer USA expect to sign the merger agreement as soon as the
Securities and Exchange Commission declares effective under the Securities Act
of 1933 the registration statement that includes this document. The full text of
the merger agreement is attached as Appendix F to this document and is
incorporated by reference in this document. We encourage you to read the entire
merger agreement.


STRUCTURE; EFFECTIVE TIME

     The merger agreement provides for the merger of each participating
partnership with and into Pioneer USA, with Pioneer USA surviving each merger.
Each merger will become effective at the time of the filing of the certificate
of merger for each participating partnership with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware and, for each participating partnership formed in Texas, with
the Secretary of State of the State of Texas. Each certificate of merger is
expected to be filed as soon as practicable after the last condition precedent
to the related merger set forth in the merger agreement has been satisfied or
waived. We estimate that the closing of the merger of each partnership will be
in the third quarter of 2001.

EFFECT OF THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP

     As a result of the merger of each participating partnership, the partners
in the partnership will have no continuing interest in that partnership.
Following the merger of each participating partnership, there will be no trading
market for the partnership interests in, and no further distributions paid to
the former partners of, the partnership. In addition, following the consummation
of the merger of each participating partnership that is also a reporting
partnership, the registration of any partnership interests in the partnership
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 will be terminated.

CONDUCT OF BUSINESS PRIOR TO THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP

     From the date of the merger agreement until the effective time of the
merger of each partnership, each partnership is required:

     - to conduct its business only in the ordinary course consistent with past
       practice; and

     - to use its reasonable best efforts:


      - to preserve intact its business organization;



      - to keep available the services of its officers, employees and
        consultants; and



      - to preserve its relationships with customers, suppliers and other
        persons with which it has significant business dealings.


     Pioneer USA has suspended cash distributions to the partners of each
partnership until after the effective time of the merger of the partnership.
Partners of each nonparticipating partnership will receive cash distributions
that are delayed for administrative purposes at about the same time Pioneer USA
mails certificates for Pioneer Parent common stock to the partners of each
participating partnership in payment of merger value for each partnership.

OTHER AGREEMENTS

     Special Meetings; Proxies.  Pioneer USA has agreed to cause the special
meeting of the limited partners of each partnership to be duly called and held
as soon as reasonably practicable for the purpose of voting on the approval and
adoption of the merger proposals for the partnership. Pioneer USA has also
agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from the limited partners
of each partnership proxies in favor of the merger proposals and to take all
other action necessary or advisable to secure any vote or consent of the limited
partners of the partnership required by the partnership agreement of the
partnership or the merger agreement or by law in connection with the merger of
the partnership.
                                        68
   83

     Reasonable Commercial Efforts.  Each party has agreed to use all reasonable
commercial efforts:

     - to obtain in a timely manner all necessary waivers, consents and
       approvals and to effect all necessary registrations and filings; and

     - to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be
       done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and
       regulations to consummate as promptly as practicable the transactions
       contemplated by the merger agreement.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PIONEER PARENT, PIONEER USA AND EACH
PARTNERSHIP

     The merger agreement contains substantially reciprocal representations and
warranties of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and each of the partnerships,
including the following matters:

     - due organization or formation, standing, corporate or partnership power
       and qualification;

     - absence of any conflict, breach, notice requirement or default under
       organizational documents and material agreements as a result of each
       contemplated merger;

       agreement;


     - absence of any material adverse change since June 30, 2001; and


     - accuracy of information.

     In addition, the merger agreement contains representations and warranties
by:

     - each of the partnerships as to capitalization;

     - each of Pioneer Parent and each reporting partnership, as to the absence
       in its reports filed with the SEC of any untrue statement of a material

     - Pioneer USA as to its capacity as the managing or sole general partner of

     If we choose to waive a material condition to a merger, we will disclose

TERMINATION OF THE MERGER AGREEMENT AND THE MERGER OF ANY PARTNERSHIP

     The merger agreement may be terminated and the merger of any partnership
abandoned at any time prior to the effective time, whether before or after
approval by the limited partners:

     - by the mutual written consent of the parties;

     - by any party, if:


      - any applicable law, rule or regulation makes consummation of any merger
        illegal or otherwise prohibited or any final and non-appealable
        judgment, injunction, order or decree enjoining any party from
        consummating any merger is entered;



      - the requisite limited partner approval for a partnership is not obtained

        adjournment or postponement of the special meeting; or


                                        70
   85


      - any suit, action or proceeding is filed against Pioneer Parent, Pioneer

        Parent or Pioneer USA challenging the legality or any aspect of the

       condition, development or occurrence causing, resulting in or having, or

       effect (1) on any partnership's business, operations, properties, taken
       as a whole, condition, financial or otherwise, results of operations,
       assets, taken as a whole, liabilities, cash flows or prospects, (2) on
       market prices for oil and gas prevailing generally in the oil and gas
       industry since the date of determination of the oil and gas commodity
       prices used in the determination of the merger value for each
       partnership, (3) on the price of Pioneer Parent common stock or (4) on

partnership shall have any liabilities or obligations to the other parties based
on the merger agreement or such merger except:

     - Pioneer Parent will pay all expenses and fees of each partnership in

by the party against whom the extension or waiver is to be effective.

                              THE SPECIAL MEETINGS

TIME AND PLACE; PURPOSE

     The special meeting of the limited partners of each partnership will be
held on           , 2001, at 10:00 a.m., at the Dallas Marriott Las Colinas
Hotel, Irving, Texas 75039. The purpose of each special meeting, and any
adjournment or postponement of the special meeting for each partnership, is for
the limited partners of each partnership to consider and vote on the following
matters:


     - A proposal to approve an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
                 , 2001, among Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and each of the
       partnerships. Each participating partnership will merge with and into
       Pioneer USA, with Pioneer USA surviving the merger. Each partnership
       interest of a participating partnership will be converted into Pioneer
       Parent common stock. The number of shares of common stock Pioneer Parent
       will offer for all partnership interests of a participating partnership
       will be based on (1) the participating partnership's merger value and (2)
       the average closing price of the Pioneer Parent common stock, as reported
       by the New York Stock Exchange, for the ten trading days ending three
       business days before the initial date scheduled for the special meeting
       for the partnership. The merger value for a participating partnership is
       equal to the sum of the present value of estimated future net revenues
       from the partnership's estimated oil and gas reserves and its net working
       capital, in each case as of March 31, 2001, less its pro rata share,
       based on its reserve value, of the estimated expenses and fees of the
       mergers of all of the partnerships and less the cash distribution mailed
       on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners. For purposes of
       illustration in this document, we have calculated the number of shares to
       be issued based on an assumed average closing price of $18.00 per share
       of Pioneer Parent common stock. Prior to the date of the special meeting
       for each partnership, we will update the number of shares to be issued
       using the actual average closing price of Pioneer Parent common stock for
       the ten trading days ending three business days before the initial date
       of the special meeting. The Pioneer Parent common stock will be allocated
       among the partners based on the liquidation provisions of each
       partnership agreement. Pioneer Parent will not issue fractional shares to
       any limited partner upon completion of the merger of any partnership.
       Instead, Pioneer Parent will round any fractional shares of Pioneer
       Parent common stock up to the nearest whole share. Pioneer USA will not
       receive any Pioneer Parent common stock for its partnership interests in
       the participating partnerships.


     - A proposal to amend the partnership agreement of each partnership to
       permit the partnership's merger with Pioneer USA. If the amendment is not
       approved, that partnership cannot merge into Pioneer USA even if the
       partners of that partnership approve the merger agreement.

     - A proposal (A) to approve the opinion issued to Pioneer USA by
       on behalf of the limited partners of each partnership that neither the
       grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
       partnership by its limited partners (1) will result in the loss of any
       limited partner's limited liability or (2) will adversely affect the
       federal income tax classification of the partnership or any of its
       limited partners and (B) to approve the selection of           as special
       legal counsel for the limited partners of each partnership to render such
       legal opinion.


     Pioneer USA is also soliciting authorization to use its discretionary
voting authority to vote proxies in favor of any adjournment or postponement of
the special meeting in order to solicit additional proxies.



     The Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and the Texas Revised
Limited Partnership Act require limited partner approval and adoption of the
merger agreement and the merger amendment. Generally, the partnership agreement
of each partnership requires that special legal counsel for the limited partners
render its legal opinion related to the limited partners' approval of the merger
of that partnership. See "The Merger of Each Partnership -- Legal Opinion for
Limited Partners" on page 59 of this document.

   87

     PIONEER USA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY DETERMINED THAT THE MERGER OF
EACH PARTNERSHIP IS ADVISABLE, FAIR TO THE UNAFFILIATED LIMITED PARTNERS OF THE
PARTNERSHIP, AND IN THEIR BEST INTERESTS. THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE
UNAFFILIATED LIMITED PARTNERS VOTE FOR THE MERGER PROPOSALS FOR EACH PARTNERSHIP
IN WHICH THEY OWN AN INTEREST. ALTHOUGH PIONEER USA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS
ATTEMPTED TO FULFILL ITS FIDUCIARY DUTIES TO THE LIMITED PARTNERS OF EACH
PARTNERSHIP, PIONEER USA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAD CONFLICTING INTERESTS IN
EVALUATING EACH MERGER BECAUSE EACH MEMBER OF ITS BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS ALSO AN
OFFICER OF PIONEER PARENT.

RECORD DATE; VOTING RIGHTS AND PROXIES

     Only limited partners of record of each partnership at the close of
business on             , 2001 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the
special meeting for the partnership in which they own partnership interests, or
any adjournments or postponements of such special meeting. Pioneer USA is
entitled to vote partnership interests it holds as a limited partner in all of
the partnerships except:

         Parker & Parsley 85-A, Ltd.
         Parker & Parsley 85-B, Ltd.
         Parker & Parsley Private Investment 85-A, Ltd.
         Parker & Parsley Selected 85 Private Investment, Ltd.
         Parker & Parsley Private Investment 86, Ltd.
         Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P.
         Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P.


Pioneer USA's affiliates are also entitled to vote partnership interests they
hold as limited partners in all but the seven partnerships listed above.
However, no affiliates of Pioneer USA own such interests. See "Ownership of
Partnership Interests" on page 79 of this document.


     Limited partners of record of each partnership are entitled to vote at the
partnership's special meeting based on the limited partners' respective
percentage of partnership interests in the partnership. Each limited partner
will receive a proxy card for all partnerships in which that limited partner
holds partnership interests. The proxy card will indicate the amount of Pioneer
Parent common stock offered with respect to such partnership interests in each
partnership. Although the number of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock
offered as shown on the proxy card may change, the value of Pioneer Parent
common stock offered as shown on the proxy card will not be adjusted. The
percentage of partnership interests that a limited partner holds in a
partnership is determined by comparing the amount of the limited partner's
initial investment, including any additional assessments, in the partnership to
the total investment of all partners, including any additional assessments, in
the partnership. The aggregate initial investment, including any additional
assessments, in each of the partnerships by the limited partners is set forth in
Table 1 of Appendix A.

     A limited partner of record may grant a proxy to vote for or against, or
may abstain from voting on, the merger proposals applicable to each of the
partnerships in which the limited partner holds partnership interests. To be
effective for purposes of granting a proxy to vote on the merger proposals
applicable to each partnership, a proxy card must be properly completed,
executed and delivered to Pioneer USA's information agent, in person or by mail,
telegraph, telex or facsimile before the special meeting for the partnership.
All partnership interests represented by properly executed proxies will, unless
these proxies have been previously revoked, be voted in accordance with the
instructions indicated in these proxies. If no instructions are indicated, the
partnership interests will be voted for approval and adoption of the merger
proposals. A properly executed proxy card for a partnership marked abstain is
counted as present for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a
quorum at the special meeting for the partnership, but will not be voted.
Accordingly, abstentions will have the same effect as a vote against the merger
proposals.

     Unrevoked proxies granted in the proxy cards for a partnership will be
voted at the special meeting for that partnership or at any adjournment or
postponement of the special meeting, if received by Pioneer

                                        73
   88

USA's information agent before the special meeting for the partnership. Proxies
granted in the proxy cards for a partnership will remain valid until the
completion of the special meeting for the partnership. Each partnership
agreement requires that a meeting be held within 60 days of the date of mailing
of the notice of meeting. None of the partnership agreements specifically
addresses, and Pioneer USA has not sought any opinions of counsel as to, whether
proxies may be voted at a meeting originally scheduled to be held within 60 days
of the sending of the notice and adjourned or postponed to a date more than 60
days after the date of notice. Pioneer USA will not accept a vote of the limited
partners of any partnership in such circumstances unless it receives an opinion
of counsel that such a vote would be valid.

     The inspector of election appointed for the special meeting for each
partnership will tabulate the votes cast by proxy or in person at the special
meeting.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

     You may revoke a proxy you have given at any time before that proxy is
voted at the special meeting for each partnership in which you own an interest
by:

     - giving written notice of revocation to Pioneer USA;

     - signing and returning a later dated proxy; or

     - voting in person at the special meeting.

Your notice of revocation will not be effective until Pioneer USA receives it at
or before the special meeting for each partnership in which you own an interest.
Your presence at any such special meeting will not automatically revoke your
proxy in a proxy card. Revocation during any such special meeting will not
affect votes previously taken.

     You may deliver your written notice of revocation in person or by mail,
telegraph, telex, or facsimile. Any written notice of revocation must specify
your name and limited partner number as shown on your proxy card and the name of
the partnership to which your revocation relates.

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

     We are soliciting your proxy pursuant to this document. The aggregate
estimated expenses and fees of the merger of each partnership that have been
allocated to each partnership include those incurred in connection with
solicitation of the enclosed proxy as described below.

     Pioneer USA has retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. to assist in the
solicitation of proxies from the limited partners of each partnership. The total
fees and expenses of D.F. King & Co., Inc. are estimated to aggregate $225,000
and have been allocated among the partnerships, on a pro rata basis, based on
each partnership's reserve value. In addition to solicitation by use of the
mail, proxies may be solicited by D.F. King & Co., Inc. and by directors,
officers and employees of Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA in person or by
telephone, telegram, facsimile or e-mail. The directors, officers and employees
will not be additionally compensated, but may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation.

     Arrangements may also be made with other brokerage firms, banks,
custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the forwarding of proxy solicitation
materials to owners of limited partnership interests held of record by those
persons. Each partnership will pay its pro rata share, based on its reserve
value, of those persons' reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding those
materials.

     Pioneer USA has also retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. to act as information
agent to perform consulting, administration and clerical work with respect to
the merger of each partnership. Pioneer USA has agreed to indemnify D.F. King &
Co., Inc. against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal
securities laws. D.F. King & Co., Inc. will also be responsible for the receipt
and tabulation of the proxy cards. The fees and expenses of D.F. King & Co.,
Inc. for its services as information agent and tabulator are included in the
aggregate amount set forth above.
                                        74
   89

     We intend to mail certificates representing shares of Pioneer Parent common
stock to the partners of record of each participating partnership promptly after
completing the merger of that partnership. Certificates representing partnership
interests will be automatically canceled, and you will not have to surrender
your certificates to receive the Pioneer Parent common stock.

QUORUM

     The presence in person or by properly executed proxy of a majority of
limited partnership interests entitled to vote in each partnership is necessary
to constitute a quorum at that partnership's special meeting.


     If a quorum is not present at any special meeting, the limited partners
entitled to vote who are present or represented by proxy at that special meeting
may adjourn or postpone that special meeting without notice until a quorum is
present. If a quorum is present at the adjourned or postponed meeting, any
business may be transacted that may have been transacted at the special meeting
had a quorum originally been present. If the adjournment or postponement is for
more than 30 days or if after the adjournment or postponement a new record date
is fixed for the adjourned or postponed meeting, a notice of the adjourned or
postponed meeting shall be given to each limited partner of record entitled to
vote at the adjourned or postponed meeting. We are soliciting your proxy to vote
in favor of any motion to adjourn or postpone the special meeting of any
partnership if, prior to the special meeting, we have not received sufficient
proxies to approve the merger of the partnership as described in this document.
If we receive sufficient proxies to vote in favor of adjourning the meetings for
this reason, this process will be repeated at any adjourned or postponed meeting
until sufficient proxies to vote in favor of the merger of the partnership have
been received or it appears that sufficient proxies will not be received.


REQUIRED VOTE; BROKER NON-VOTES


     Approval of the merger proposals for each partnership requires the
affirmative vote of the limited partners holding a majority of limited
partnership interests in that partnership, except that Parker & Parsley 91-A,
L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P. each require the favorable vote of the
holders, other than Pioneer USA, of 66 2/3% of its limited partnership interests
to approve those merger proposals. Pioneer USA is entitled to vote its
partnership interests on the merger proposals for each partnership except for
the partnerships set forth under "The Special Meetings -- Record Date; Voting
Rights and Proxies" on page 73. As a result, for each partnership in which
Pioneer USA is entitled to vote, approval of at least a majority, and for Parker
& Parsley 91-A, L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P., at least 66 2/3%, of the
unaffiliated limited partners is not required to approve the merger proposals.
However, for each partnership in which Pioneer Parent is not entitled to vote,
the approval of the unaffiliated limited partners is required to approve the
merger proposals.


     Brokers, if any, who hold partnership interests in street name for
customers have the authority to vote on "routine" proposals when they have not
received instructions from beneficial owners. However, these brokers are
precluded from exercising their voting discretion with respect to the approval
and adoption of non-routine matters such as the merger proposals and thus,
absent specific instructions from the beneficial owner of the partnership
interests, brokers are not empowered to vote the partnership interests with
respect to the merger proposals. These "broker non-votes" will have the effect
of a vote against the merger proposals.

PARTICIPATION BY ASSIGNEES


     Pioneer USA has the discretionary authority granted to it under each
partnership agreement to withhold its consent to the substitution of any
assignees as partners of the partnership. To facilitate the notification given
to limited partners of each partnership about the merger of the partnership,
Pioneer USA intends to exercise that authority and withhold its consent to the
substitution of any assignees as partners of the partnership from        , 2001
until the earlier to occur of the closing date of the merger of the partnership,
or the termination or abandonment of the transaction by Pioneer Parent and
Pioneer USA.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SOME LIMITED PARTNERS

     Pioneer USA may require that any proxy card executed by an entity, such as
a trust, corporation, or partnership, be accompanied by evidence or an opinion
of counsel that such entity:

     - has met all requirements of its governing instruments; and

     - is authorized to execute and deliver the proxy card under the laws of the
       jurisdiction under which the entity was organized.

     Pioneer USA will require the named trustee and the beneficial owner of
trusts, including individual retirement accounts, to execute the proxy card. In
some cases, Pioneer USA may provide a limited partner with an envelope,
pre-addressed to his individual retirement account trustee, so that the limited
partner may forward his executed proxy card to the trustee for the trustee's
signature, if necessary, and subsequent delivery to Pioneer USA. Delivery of a
proxy card to the trustee, with or without the use of a pre-addressed envelope,
and delivery of a proxy card from the trustee to Pioneer USA are at the risk of
the limited partner.

VALIDITY OF PROXY CARDS

     A proxy card will not be valid unless it has been properly completed and
executed and timely delivered to Pioneer USA's information agent with all other
required documents. Pioneer USA will determine all questions as to the validity,
form, eligibility, time of receipt and acceptance of a proxy card and its
determination will be final and binding. Pioneer USA's interpretation of the
terms and conditions of the merger of each partnership, including the
instructions for the proxy card, will also be final and binding.

     A proxy card will not be valid until any irregularities have been cured or
waived. If Pioneer USA does not waive the irregularities, it will return the
defective proxy card to the limited partner as soon as practicable. Pioneer USA
is under no duty to give notification of defects in a proxy card and will incur
no liability if it fails to give such notification.

     Delivery of a proxy card is at the risk of the limited partner. A proxy
card will be effective for purposes of voting only when it is actually received
by Pioneer USA's information agent. To ensure receipt of the proxy card and all
other required documents, Pioneer USA suggests that limited partners use
overnight courier delivery or certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested.

LOCAL LAWS


     Proxy solicitations will not be made to, nor will proxy cards be accepted
from, limited partners of any partnership in any jurisdiction in which the
solicitations would not be in compliance with federal and state securities or
other laws.

          COMPARATIVE PER SHARE MARKET PRICE AND DIVIDEND INFORMATION


     The table below sets forth, for the calendar quarters indicated, the
reported high and low closing prices of Pioneer Parent common stock as reported
on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape, in each case based on
published financial sources. Pioneer Parent's board of directors did not declare
dividends to the holders of Pioneer Parent common stock during 1999, 2000 or the
six months ended June 30, 2001. The determination of the amount of future cash
dividends, if any, to be declared and paid is in the sole discretion of Pioneer
Parent's board of directors and will depend on the following factors:


     - Pioneer Parent's financial condition;

     - earnings and funds from operations;

     - the level of Pioneer Parent's capital and exploration expenditures;

     - dividend restrictions in Pioneer Parent's financing agreements;

     - Pioneer Parent's future business prospects; and

     - other matters that Pioneer Parent's board of directors deems relevant.


     None of the partnership interests of any partnership are traded on a
national stock exchange or in any other significant market. No liquid market
exists for interests in any of the partnerships. See Table 15 of Appendix A for
historical information about recent trades per $1,000 limited partner investment
in each partnership for the five months ended May 31, 2001 and the years ended
December 31, 2000 and 1999. The average quarterly cash distributions per $1,000
limited partner investment in each partnership for 1999, 2000 and the
year-to-date in 2001 are set forth in Table 7 of Appendix A.


     On April 16, 2001, the last full trading day prior to the announcement of
the proposed merger of each partnership, Pioneer Parent common stock closed at
$17.27 per share. On             , 2001, Pioneer Parent common stock closed at
$     per share.

partnership.

                    INTERESTS OF PIONEER PARENT, PIONEER USA
                        AND THEIR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     A number of conflicts of interest are inherent in the relationships among
each partnership, Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and their respective directors and
officers.

CONFLICTING DUTIES OF PIONEER USA, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS GENERAL PARTNER

     Pioneer USA, as general partner of each partnership, has a duty to manage
each partnership in the best interests of the limited partners. Pioneer USA also
has a duty to operate its business for the benefit of its sole stockholder,
Pioneer Parent. Consequently, Pioneer USA's duties to the limited partners of
each partnership may conflict with its duties to Pioneer Parent.

     The members of the board of directors of Pioneer USA have a duty to cause
Pioneer USA to manage each partnership in the best interests of the limited
partners. All members of the board of directors of Pioneer USA are officers of
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA. Thus, the members of the board of directors of
Pioneer USA have duties to operate Pioneer USA's business for the benefit of its
sole stockholder, Pioneer Parent, and, as officers of Pioneer Parent, to operate
Pioneer Parent's business in its best interests. Consequently, the duties of the
members of the board of directors of Pioneer USA to the limited partners may
conflict with the duties of those members to Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and
their stockholders.

     Neither Pioneer Parent nor Pioneer USA retained an independent
representative to negotiate on behalf of the limited partners of each
partnership because:

     - neither the partnership agreement for any partnership nor any applicable
       law provides for any procedure to identify and select an independent
       representative, unless each limited partner of the partnership agrees to
       the independent representative;

     - Pioneer USA, as sole or managing general partner of each partnership,
       still has its fiduciary duty to the limited partners; and

     - it would be (1) cost-prohibitive to find one or more persons to represent
       the limited partners in all of the partnerships because no one other than
       Pioneer USA owns an interest in all of the partnerships and (2)
       impractical to have 46 independent representatives.

PIONEER USA'S EMPLOYEES PROVIDE SERVICES TO THE PARTNERSHIPS

     None of the partnerships currently has any employees. Each partnership
relies on Pioneer USA's personnel. Pioneer USA provides all management functions
on behalf of each partnership. Therefore, each partnership currently competes
with Pioneer USA for the time and resources of Pioneer USA's employees.

FINANCIAL INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS


     The directors and officers of Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA have equity
interests in Pioneer Parent through stock ownership, stock options and other
stock-based compensation, but do not have financial or equity interests in any
partnership. See "Ownership of Partnership Interests" on page 79. The boards of
directors of Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA believe that any economic benefit
their directors and officers may obtain from the merger of each partnership, or
the mergers of all of the partnerships in the aggregate, will be minimal, if
any, and will not result in a material economic benefit, if any, to their
directors and officers individually.


THE PARTNERSHIPS PAY OPERATOR FEES TO PIONEER USA

     Pioneer USA operates most of each partnership's wells. Each partnership has
entered into one or more standard industry operating agreements with Pioneer
USA. Those operating agreements establish the base fee paid by the partnership
to Pioneer USA for its lease operating services. That base fee adjusts

                                        78
   93

annually based on a rate established by the Council of Petroleum Accountants
Society, or COPAS, for the oil and gas industry.

                       OWNERSHIP OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS


     Pioneer Parent does not directly own any partnership interests in any
partnership. Pioneer Parent beneficially owns all of Pioneer USA's partnership
interests in each partnership. Table 6 of Appendix A to this document contains
the voting percentage as of July 31, 2001, of the outstanding limited
partnership interests for each partnership that are beneficially owned by
Pioneer USA as a limited partner. As of July 31, 2001, no person or entity known
by Pioneer USA beneficially owns more than 5% of the outstanding limited
partnership interests in any partnership, except in Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd.,
Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd. and Parker and Parsley 82-III, Ltd. In those
partnerships, Pioneer USA repurchased and now owns partnership interests
representing the following beneficial ownership percentages:




                                                           
Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd. ................................   5.84%
Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd. ................................  11.71%
Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd. ..............................   5.97%



Pioneer USA has sole investment and voting power with respect to partnership
interests it beneficially owns.

     Except as set forth above, none of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA, or, to the
knowledge of Pioneer USA, any of their directors or executive officers, or any
associate or majority-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA or any
such director or officer:

     - beneficially owns any partnership interests of any partnership; or

     - has effected any transactions in any partnership interests of any
partnership during the past 60 days.

              TRANSACTIONS AMONG ANY PARTNERSHIP, PIONEER PARENT,
                  PIONEER USA AND THEIR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS


     Except as described in this document, including the supplements for each
partnership, there have not been any transactions, negotiations or material
contacts between Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA, any of their respective
subsidiaries, or, to the knowledge of Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA, any
director or executive officer of Pioneer Parent or Pioneer USA or any associate
of any such persons, on the one hand, and any partnership or any of its general
partners, including Pioneer USA, directors, officers or affiliates, on the other
hand, that are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the SEC. Except as described in this document, none of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer
USA, or, to the knowledge of Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA, any director or
executive officer of Pioneer Parent or Pioneer USA, has any agreement,
arrangement or understanding with any other person with respect to any
securities of any partnership.


     During March 2001, Pioneer Parent offered to acquire all of the direct oil
and gas interests owned by some former officers and employees of Pioneer Parent
and Pioneer USA in properties in which Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA own
interests. The merger value for the direct oil and gas interests was equal to
the present value of estimated future net revenues from the oil and gas reserves
attributable to the interests, as of March 31, 2001. In determining the present
value, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA used (1) a five-year NYMEX futures price
for oil and gas as of March 2001 with prices held constant after year five at
the year five price, less standard industry adjustments, (2) historical
operating costs adjusted only for those items affected by commodity prices, such
as production taxes and ad valorem taxes, and (3) a 13.5% discount rate. The
consideration offered in the purchases of the direct oil and gas interests was
all cash since offering and registering Pioneer Parent common stock in those
purchases was cost-prohibitive due to the small size of such transactions.

                                        79
   94

     Additionally, in December 2000, Pioneer Parent received the approval of the
partners of 13 employee limited partnerships to merge with Pioneer USA for total
merger consideration of $2.0 million. Of the total merger consideration, $0.3
million was paid to current Pioneer Parent employees. The merger value of each
employee partnership was equal to the sum of the present value of estimated
future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil and gas reserves and
its net working capital, in each case as of September 30, 2000, less the cash
distributions on October 15, 2000 and November 15, 2000, by that partnership to
its partners. In determining the present value, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA
used (1) a five-year NYMEX futures price for oil and gas as of August 25, 2000
with prices held constant after year five at the year five price, less standard
industry adjustments, (2) historical operating costs adjusted only for those
items affected by commodity prices, such as production taxes and ad valorem
taxes, and (3) a 13.5% discount rate. Using the same parameters as described
above, Pioneer Parent purchased all of the direct oil and gas interests held by
Scott D. Sheffield, its chairman of the board of directors and chief executive
officer, for $0.2 million during October 2000. The consideration paid in the
mergers of the employee limited partnerships and the purchase of Mr. Sheffield's
direct oil and gas interests was all cash. As with the purchases of the direct
oil and gas interests described above, offering and registering Pioneer Parent
common stock in these transactions was cost-prohibitive due to the small size of
such transactions.

     If you approve the merger of each partnership in which you own an interest,
there are various ways that Pioneer USA may use the properties. Pioneer USA may
continue to operate the properties, it may sell the properties to third parties,
including a royalty trust, or it may spin-off the properties to its stockholder.
Although Pioneer USA plans to operate the properties in the immediate future
following completion of the merger of each partnership, it has not decided how
to use the properties in the long-term.

                                 PIONEER PARENT

     Pioneer Parent is a large independent exploration and production company
with total proved reserves equivalent to 3.8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas,
or 628 million barrels of oil. Pioneer Parent's proved reserves are balanced
equally between natural gas and oil, and Pioneer Parent has a
reserves-to-production ratio of 14 years. Three core areas in the United States
comprise 67% of Pioneer Parent's reserve base: the Hugoton gas field, the West
Panhandle gas field, and the Spraberry oil and natural gas field. Pioneer Parent
also has domestic properties in East Texas, the Gulf Coast, and the offshore
Gulf of Mexico as well as a significant international presence through its
properties in Argentina, Canada, South Africa, and Gabon.

     Pioneer Parent seeks to increase net asset value and production by
combining lower risk development drilling with higher risk exploration activity.
Pioneer Parent has identified over 1,700 development drilling locations on its
properties in the U.S., Argentina and Canada. Approximately 76% of the
identified 1,700 development drilling locations have proved undeveloped reserves
attributable to them. Pioneer Parent's exploration program is focused in the
deepwater Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf Coast shelf, South Africa and Gabon. Pioneer
Parent expects significant new production from the deepwater Gulf of Mexico and
South Africa in 2002 and 2003 as it builds on its recent exploration successes
in those areas. The production from Pioneer Parent's long-lived reserves in the
Spraberry, Hugoton and West Panhandle fields are expected to provide stable cash
flows to fund Pioneer Parent's development and exploration activities.

     During 2000, Pioneer Parent spent $340 million for capital expenditures to
add 437 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent reserves. As a consequence,
in 2000 Pioneer Parent replaced 167% of its production at an acquisition and
finding cost of $.78 per Mcf equivalent. Pioneer Parent's acquisition and
finding cost is the result obtained by dividing total costs incurred by the sum
of revisions of previous estimates, purchases of minerals-in-place and new
discoveries and extensions. Pioneer Parent drilled 296 wells with 90% success
worldwide, including 83 exploration and extension wells with 73% success.


     For 2001, Pioneer Parent has budgeted $480 million of capital expenditures,
a 41% increase over 2000 capital expenditures but slightly less than expected
available cash flow. Approximately 73% of the 2001 capital expenditure budget is
for development activities with the remaining 27% for exploration. Pioneer
Parent plans to drill approximately 460 development wells and 26 exploratory
wells in its 2001 program, and approximately 65% of the capital expenditures
will be for drilling activities in the U.S.


KEY PROJECTS TO INCREASE PRODUCTION

     Pioneer Parent expects to increase its production of oil and gas from
current levels by 25% to 30% on a gas equivalent basis by early to mid 2003,
primarily from four projects. The production increases anticipated from the four
projects are derived from currently booked proved undeveloped reserves. The
projects in general build on Pioneer Parent's recent exploration successes.

     - The Canyon Express project is a joint development of three deepwater Gulf
       of Mexico discoveries, including Pioneer Parent's Aconcagua and Camden
       Hills fields. The project is being developed with a capacity to deliver
       500 million cubic feet of natural gas per day by the summer of 2002.
       Pioneer Parent owns an 18% interest in the Canyon Express project and
       expects that production from the project will increase Pioneer Parent's
       North American natural gas production by 30% from current levels.

                                        84
   99


     - Pioneer Parent's first well in offshore South Africa confirmed the
       presence of commercial oil reserves and resulted in Pioneer Parent's
       plans to develop the Sable oil field. First production from the field is
       expected in late 2002 or early 2003 at daily rates of 25 to 30 thousand
       barrels per day. Pioneer Parent has a 35% working interest in the field,
       and production from the project is expected to increase Pioneer Parent's
       total oil production by more than 20%. Pioneer Parent has also discovered
       oil and natural gas at its Boomslang prospect in offshore South Africa.



     - The Devils Tower discovery was Pioneer Parent's second in the deepwater
       Gulf of Mexico. The oil field has been successfully appraised, and
       development plans call for first production in early 2003. Pioneer Parent
       has a 25% working interest in the field, and production from the field is
       expected to increase Pioneer Parent's total oil production by
       approximately 20% from current levels.

of the Permian Basin of West Texas. The oil and gas properties of each drilling
partnership consist primarily of leasehold interests in producing properties
located in Texas. The partners of a drilling partnership received a tax benefit
from drilling activities in the partnership's first year. Subsequently, each
drilling partnership has regularly distributed its net cash flow. As of the date

                        COMMONLY USED OIL AND GAS TERMS

     The definitions set forth below shall apply to the indicated terms as used
in this document. All volumes of natural gas referred to herein are stated at
the legal pressure base of the state or area where the reserves exist and at 60
degrees Fahrenheit and in most instances are rounded to the nearest major
multiple.

     "Bbl" means a standard barrel of 42 U.S. gallons and represents the basic
unit for measuring the production of crude oil, natural gas liquids and
condensate.

     "Bcf" means one billion cubic feet under prescribed conditions of pressure
and temperature and represents the basic unit for measuring the production of
natural gas.

     "BOE" means a barrel-of-oil-equivalent and is a customary convention used
in the United States to express oil and gas volumes on a comparable basis. It is
determined on the basis of the estimated relative energy content of natural gas
to oil, being approximately six Mcf of natural gas per Bbl of oil.

     "BTU" means British thermal unit.

     "development drilling" means drilling within the proved area of an oil or
gas reservoir to the depth of a stratigraphic horizon known to be productive.

     "exploration activity" means drilling activity to find and produce oil or
natural gas in an area that is not known to be an oil or natural gas reservoir,
or drilling activity to extend a known reservoir.

     "Mbbl" means one thousand Bbls.

     "MBOE" means one thousand BOEs.

     "Mcf" means one thousand cubic feet under prescribed conditions of pressure
and temperature and represents the basic unit for measuring the production of
natural gas.

     "MMBbl" means one million Bbls.

     "MMcf" means one million cubic feet under prescribed conditions of pressure
and temperature and represents the basic unit for measuring the production of
natural gas.

     "NGLs" means natural gas liquids.

     "proved reserves" means the estimated quantities of crude oil, natural gas,
and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data demonstrate with
reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs
under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e., prices and costs as of
the date the estimate is made. Prices include consideration of changes in
existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on
escalations based upon future conditions.

          (i) Reservoirs are considered proved if economic producibility is
     supported by either actual production or conclusive formation test. The
     area of a reservoir considered proved includes (A) that portion delineated
     by drilling and defined by gas-oil and/or oil-water contacts, if any; and
     (B) the immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled, but which can be
     reasonably judged as economically productive on the basis of available
     geological and engineering data. In the absence of information on fluid
     contacts, the lowest known structural occurrence of hydrocarbons controls
     the power proved limit of the reservoir.

          (ii) Reserves which can be produced economically through application
     of improved recovery techniques (such as fluid injection) are included in
     the "proved" classification when successful testing by a pilot project, or
     the operation of an installed program in the reservoir, provides support
     for the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based.

                                        98
   113

          (iii) Estimates of proved reserves do not include the following: (A)
     oil that may become available from known reservoirs but is classified
     separately as "indicated additional reserves"; (B) crude oil, natural gas,
     and natural gas liquids, the recovery of which is subject to reasonable
     doubt because of uncertainty as to geology, reservoir characteristics, or
     economic factors; (C) crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that
     may occur in undrilled prospects; and (D) crude oil, natural gas, and
     natural gas liquids, that may be recovered from oil shales, coal, gilsonite
     and other such sources.

               UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

INTRODUCTORY STATEMENTS


     The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements of Pioneer Parent
have been prepared to give effect to Pioneer Parent's offer to acquire 46
limited partnerships (collectively, the "Combined Partnerships") that Pioneer
USA serves as the sole or managing general partner. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer
USA agreed to a merger value for each partnership. The aggregate merger value
for the Combined Partnerships is $107.1 million. For a description of the method
used to determine the merger value for each partnership and the amount of
Pioneer Parent common stock offered, see "Method of Determining Merger Value For
Each Partnership and Amount of Pioneer Parent Common Stock Offered". The merger
value for each partnership will not change. The only variables are the
determination of which partnerships will approve the agreement and plan of
merger, if any, and the number of shares of Pioneer Parent that will be issued
to the limited partners of those partnerships that approve the agreement and
plan of merger.



     For purposes of presenting the unaudited pro forma combined financial
statements, Pioneer Parent has assumed that each partnership will approve the
agreement and plan of merger and will merge into Pioneer Parent and be converted
into the right to receive Pioneer Parent common stock using an estimated per
share market value of $18.00. The actual purchase price will be determined on
the closing date based on the value of Pioneer Parent's common stock issued to
those partnerships that approve the agreement and plan of merger. Pioneer Parent
will value the shares of common stock to be issued using the average closing
price of its common stock over a five day period comprised of the two days prior
to a defined measurement date, the defined measurement date and the two days
following the defined measurement date. See Note (2) to the unaudited pro forma
combined financial statements for additional information regarding the purchase
price, the valuation of Pioneer Parent common stock and the definition of the
measurement date referred to above.



     The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet of Pioneer Parent as of June
30, 2001 has been prepared to give effect to the acquisition of the Combined
Partnerships as if it had occurred on June 30, 2001.



     The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations of Pioneer Parent
for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and for the year ended December 31, 2000
have been prepared to give effect to the acquisition of the Combined
Partnerships as if it had occurred on January 1, 2000.


     The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements included herein are
not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the
transaction taken place on the dates that are assumed for the pro forma
presentations and are not intended to be a projection of future results. Future
results may vary significantly from the results reflected in the accompanying
unaudited pro forma combined financial statements because of normal production
declines, changes in product prices, future acquisitions and divestitures,
future development and exploration activities, and other factors.


     The following unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements (and the related
notes) of Pioneer Parent included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2000, the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 and the historical financial statements of each partnership
in which you own an interest contained in the supplement to this document for
the partnership.

           NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                      JUNE 30, 2001 AND DECEMBER 31, 2000


NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION


     The unaudited pro forma combined financial information of Pioneer Natural
Resources Company ("Pioneer Parent") has been prepared to give effect to Pioneer
Parent's offer to acquire 46 limited partnerships (collectively, the "Combined
Partnerships") that Pioneer USA serves as the sole or managing general partner.
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2001 has been
prepared to give effect to the acquisition of the Combined Partnerships as if it
had occurred on June 30, 2001. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and for the year ended
December 31, 2000 are presented as if the acquisition of the Combined
Partnerships occurred on January 1, 2000.


     Following is a description of the individual columns included in these
unaudited pro forma combined financial statements:


          Pioneer Parent -- Represents the consolidated balance sheet of Pioneer
     Parent as of June 30, 2001, and the consolidated statements of operations
     of Pioneer Parent for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and the year ended
     December 31, 2000.



          Combined Partnerships -- Represents the combined balance sheets of the
     46 limited partnerships as of June 30, 2001 and the combined statements of
     operations of such limited partnerships for the six months ended June 30,
     2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000.


NOTE 2. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

     Following are descriptions of the pro forma adjustments used in the
preparation of the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial
statements:


(a)  To record the acquisition of the Combined Partnerships, using the purchase
     method of accounting, for $107.1 million in Pioneer Parent common stock,
     representing 5,947,940 shares assuming an $18.00 average stock price. The
     allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities is
     preliminary and, therefore, subject to change.



     The purchase price allocation as of June 30, 2001 reflects the fair value
     of the Combined Partnerships' assets and liabilities as of that date. A
     final purchase price allocation will be done at closing based upon the fair
     value of the Combined Partnerships' assets and liabilities at that time.
     The date three business days prior to the special meeting of limited
     partners of each partnership to be held on             , 2001 will be the
     measurement date for determining the final number of shares of Pioneer
     Parent common stock to be issued (the "Measurement Date"). Pioneer Parent
     will value the shares to be issued using the average closing price of
     Pioneer Parent common stock for the five-day period comprised of the two
     days prior to the Measurement Date, the Measurement Date and the two
     business days subsequent to the Measurement Date. The final allocation is
     not anticipated to change materially other than for cash flow generated
     from the Combined Partnerships' property interests between March 31, 2001
     and closing, which will be reflected as a reduction to oil and gas
     properties and an increase to working capital in the final purchase price
     allocation.


(b)  To eliminate affiliate receivables and affiliate payables between Pioneer
     Parent and the Combined Partnerships.


(c)  To adjust pro forma cash and partners' capital for the $7.1 million cash
     distribution disbursed to existing partners other than Pioneer USA during
     July 2001.



(d)  To eliminate Pioneer Parent's proportionate share of the Combined
     Partnerships that is already reflected in Pioneer Parent's consolidated
     statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and for the
     year ended December 31, 2000.

                       PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY

   NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

(e)  To eliminate the Combined Partnership's share of operating overhead charged
     by Pioneer Parent that was recorded by the Combined Partnerships as an
     increase in lease operating expenses and by Pioneer Parent as a reduction
     to general and administrative expense.

(f)  To adjust depreciation, depletion and amortization expense for the basis
     allocated to the oil and gas properties acquired and accounted for using
     the successful efforts method of accounting.

(g)  To eliminate the Combined Partnerships impairment of oil and gas properties
     that would not occur on a pro forma basis with Pioneer Parent due to the
     basis in oil and gas properties reflecting the value assigned using the
     purchase method of accounting.

(h)  Pioneer Parent has unused net operating loss carryovers in the United
     States that could be used to offset any incremental earnings of the
     Combined Partnerships. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustment was recorded
     for additional income tax expense. See Note 3. below.


(i)  To adjust the weighted average basic and diluted common shares outstanding
     for the issuance of 5,947,940 shares of Pioneer Parent common stock to
     acquire the Combined Partnerships.



     The pro forma numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share
calculations equals "income from continuing operations" per the Unaudited Pro
Forma Combined Statement of Operations (see pages P-3 and P-4). Following is a
reconciliation of the pro forma weighted average basic and diluted shares
outstanding (in thousands):

*The actual shares issued to the nonmanaging general partners and limited
 partners will be based on the final determination of the aggregate purchase
 price and the final measurement of the value of Pioneer Parent common stock, as
 described more fully in adjustment (a) above. The following table quantifies a
 range of possible shares to be issued to the nonmanaging general partners and
 limited partners and Pioneer Parent's pro forma income from continuing
 operations per common share -- basic and diluted for the six months ended June
 30, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000 if, based on a $107.1 million
 aggregate purchase price, the average closing price of the Pioneer Parent
 common stock over the five day period comprised of the two business days prior

NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES


     Pioneer Parent will account for income taxes in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes." In accordance therewith, Pioneer Parent will prepare separate
tax calculations for each tax jurisdiction in which Pioneer Parent will be
subject to income taxes. Pioneer Parent has unused net operating loss carryovers
and alternative minimum tax net operating loss carryovers that would be utilized
to reduce incremental United States income taxes that would otherwise be
incurred as a result of pro forma pre-tax earnings of the Combined Partnerships.
Accordingly, Pioneer Parent has not recognized incremental income tax expense in
the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000.


NOTE 4. OIL AND GAS RESERVE DATA

     The following unaudited pro forma supplemental information regarding the
oil and gas activities of Pioneer Parent is presented pursuant to the disclosure
requirements promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69, "Disclosures About Oil and Gas
Producing Activities." The pro forma combined reserve information is presented
as if the

   NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)

acquisition of the Combined Partnerships had occurred on January 1, 2000.
Information for oil and NGL's are presented in barrels (Bbls) and for gas in
thousands of cubic feet (Mcf).


     The pro forma combined net proved reserves are 2.2 MMBOE more than the
summation of historical net proved reserves of Pioneer Parent and the Combined
Partnerships. This difference can be attributed to the net impact of the
partnerships' historical net proved reserves being burdened by administrative
overhead and the Pioneer Parent reserves already including its pro rata share of
the partnerships' reserves. Administrative overhead is charged by the operator
(Pioneer Parent for the majority of the properties) in accordance with the joint
operating agreements of each property and in accordance with the guidelines
prescribed by the Council of Petroleum Accounting Society ("COPAS"). Because
these charges will not be charged to Pioneer Parent after the transaction, on a
pro forma combined basis Pioneer Parent has eliminated the administrative
overhead charges consistent with industry standards. Consequently, the economic
lives of the partnerships' properties are extended and additional reserves on a
pro forma combined basis have been added. Offsetting the adjustment above is the
elimination of Pioneer Parent's general partner and limited partner ownership
because such ownership is already included in Pioneer Parent's reserves.


     Pioneer Parent emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise
and subject to revision and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise
than those of producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, the estimates are
expected to change as future information becomes available and such changes
could be significant.


     For additional information regarding the oil and gas activities of Pioneer
Parent and the Combined Partnerships, from which the following unaudited pro
forma supplemental information was derived, please see: (a) Pioneer Parent's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 for information
regarding Pioneer Parent's stand-alone oil and gas activities, (b) Table 11 of
Appendix A and (c) the review by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. of the
Summary Reserve Report for the Combined Partnerships included in Appendix C for
the volumes and values attributable to the Combined Partnerships.

STANDARDIZED MEASURE OF DISCOUNTED FUTURE NET CASH FLOWS

     The pro forma standardized measure of discounted future net cash flow is
computed by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price
changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the
estimated future production of oil and gas reserves less estimated future
expenditures (based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and
producing the proved reserves discounted using a rate of 10 percent per year to
reflect the estimated timing of the future cash flows. Future income taxes are
calculated by comparing undiscounted future cash flows to the tax basis of oil
and gas properties plus available carryforwards and credits and applying the
current tax rate to the difference.

(a)  Represents Pioneer USA's partnership interests in each partnership as a
     limited partner of the partnership. Pioneer USA will not receive any
     Pioneer Parent common stock for its partnership interests in any
     participating partnership. However, as a result of the merger of each
     participating partnership, Pioneer USA will own 100% of the properties of
     the partnership including properties attributable to its partnership
     interests in the partnership.


(b)  Represents percentage of limited partners' vote that Pioneer USA is
     entitled to vote. The voting percentage is calculated by dividing (1)
     Pioneer USA's ownership percentage of the partnership interests held as a
     limited partner, by (2) the percentage of partnership interests held by all
     limited partners in the partnership. For example, if the limited partners
     of a partnership represent 99% of the partnership and Pioneer USA owns 5%
     of the partnership interests as a limited partner in that partnership,
     Pioneer USA's voting percentage is 5.05%.

(c)  Pioneer USA is not entitled to vote partnership interests it holds as
     limited partner in this partnership.

(d)  Represents Pioneer USA's share of the initial investment by limited
     partners as shown on Table 1.

(a)  This table contains historical information about recent trades of
     partnership interests on a per $1,000 investment as determined from "The
     Partnership Spectrum." The price information represents the prices reported
     to have been paid to the sellers net of commissions paid by buyers. This
     information should not be relied upon as any indication of the price at
     which the partnership interests may trade. There may have been other
     secondary sale transactions in the partnership interests, although no
     information regarding any such transactions is available to Pioneer USA.
     Because the information regarding sale transactions in the partnership
     interests in this table is provided without verification by Pioneer USA and
     because the information provided does not reflect sufficient activity to
     cause the prices shown to be representative of the market values of the
     partnership interests, the information should not be relied upon as
     indicative of the ability of limited partners to sell their partnership
     interests in secondary sale transactions or as to the prices at which the
     partnership interests may be sold.

(a) The reserve value is one of the components of the merger value for each
    partnership and represents the present value of estimated future net
    revenues from the partnership's estimated oil and gas reserves as of March
    31, 2001. The present value was calculated using: (1) a five-year New York
    Mercantile Exchange, or NYMEX, futures price for oil and gas as of March 31,
    2001 with prices held constant after year five at the year five price, less
    standard industry adjustments, (2) historical operating costs adjusted only
    for those items affected by commodity prices, such as production taxes and
    ad valorem taxes, and (3) a 10.0% discount rate. For 2001, the oil and gas
    prices were based on the average NYMEX futures price for the nine-month
    period beginning on April 1, 2001 and ending December 31, 2001.

Subject:Summary Letter Including 46 Reports of


        Review of Estimates Prepared by


        Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.


        of Oil and Gas Reserves and


        Associated Future Net Revenue to the


        Interests of the Limited Partners


        or the Converted Limited Partners


        in Various Parker & Parsley Partnerships


        Managed by Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.


        Effective March 31, 2001


        Williamson Project 1.8859



     In accordance with your request, Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc.
(Williamson) has prepared this summary letter for inclusion in the proxy
statement to be distributed to the limited partners of the referenced
Partnerships by Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. (Pioneer USA). This letter
includes the results from 46 review letters prepared for Pioneer USA to the
interests of the Limited Partners or the Converted Limited Partners in various
Parker & Parsley Partnerships managed by Pioneer USA effective March 31, 2001. A
listing of the 46 Williamson review letters is included as Exhibit I.



I. DEFINITIONS OF SEC RESERVES(1)



     The estimated reserves presented in this summary letter are net proved
reserves, including proved developed producing, proved developed nonproducing,
and proved undeveloped reserves, and were computed in accordance with the
financial reporting requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). In preparing these evaluations, no attempt has been made to quantify the
element of uncertainty associated with any category. Reserves were assigned to
each category as warranted.


---------------


(1)For evaluations prepared for disclosure to the Securities and Exchange
   Commission, see United States Securities and Exchange Commission, Regulation
   S-X, Article 4 -- Rules of General Application, Reg. 210. 4-10.


                                       B-1
   149


     The definitions of oil and gas reserves pursuant to the requirements of the
Securities Exchange Act are:



 Proved Oil and Gas Reserves



     Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil,
natural gas, and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data
demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from
known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e., prices
and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices include consideration of
changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on
escalations based upon future conditions.



          A. Reservoirs are considered proved if economic producibility is
     supported by either actual production or conclusive formation test. The
     area of a reservoir considered proved includes:



             1. that portion delineated by drilling and defined by gas-oil
        and/or oil-water contacts, if any; and



             2. the immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled, but which
        can be reasonably judged as economically productive on the basis of
        available geological and engineering data. In the absence of information
        on fluid contacts, the lowest known structural occurrence of
        hydrocarbons controls the lower proved limit of the reservoir.



          B. Reserves which can be produced economically through application of
     improved recovery techniques (such as fluid injection) are included in the
     "proved" classification when successful testing by a pilot project, or the
     operation of an installed program in the reservoir, provides support for
     the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based.



          C. Estimates of proved reserves do not include the following:



             1. oil that may become available from known reservoirs but is
        classified separately as "indicated additional reserves";



             2. crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, the recovery of
        which is subject to reasonable doubt because of uncertainty as to
        geology, reservoir characteristics, or economic factors;



             3. crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that may occur
        in undrilled prospects; and



             4. crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that may be
        recovered from oil shales, coal, gilsonite, and other such sources.



 Proved Developed Oil and Gas Reserves(2)



     Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to
be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating
methods. Additional oil and gas expected to be obtained through the application
of fluid injection or other improved recovery techniques for supplementing the
natural forces and mechanisms of primary recovery should be included as "proved
developed reserves" only after testing by a pilot project or after the operation
of an installed program has confirmed through production response that increased
recovery will be achieved.


---------------


(2)Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. separates proved developed reserves
   into proved developed producing and proved developed nonproducing reserves.
   This is to identify proved developed producing reserves as those to be
   recovered from actively producing wells; proved developed nonproducing
   reserves as those to be recovered from wells or intervals within wells, which
   are completed but shut in waiting on equipment or pipeline connections, or
   wells where a relatively minor expenditure is required for recompletion to
   another zone.


                                       B-2
   150


  Proved Undeveloped Reserves



     Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves that are expected to
be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a
relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled
acreage shall be limited to those drilling units offsetting productive units
that are reasonably certain of production when drilled. Proved reserves for
other undrilled units can be claimed only where it can be demonstrated with
certainty that there is continuity of production from the existing productive
formation. Under no circumstances should estimates, for proved undeveloped
reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid
injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such
techniques have been proved effective by actual tests in the area and in the
same reservoir.



II. DISCUSSION OF THE REVIEW



     In performing the review, Williamson conducted an evaluation of the methods
and procedures utilized by Pioneer USA in the preparation of the estimates of
reserves and associated future net revenue and performed tests and procedures
considered necessary to render the opinions set forth herein.



     Williamson evaluated the properties in 46 Parker & Parsley Partnerships as
of December 31, 2000 and the results of that evaluation were transmitted in 46
individual reports (the SEC Reports) dated February 20, 2001. Williamson also
prepared a Summary Letter Report including the SEC Reports for inclusion in a
Schedule 13e-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to be filed with the
SEC. Pioneer USA prepared reports on each partnership using the SEC Reports as
the bases. Pioneer USA rolled forward the Williamson oil and gas projections
from the SEC Reports to March 31, 2001, applied different pricing, added three
proved undeveloped locations, and made ownership interest changes on some wells.
(Most of the changes were due to payout reversions that had occurred prior to
March 31, 2001.) Pioneer USA represented that no Williamson reserves projections
were altered and no changes were made to the lease operating expenses,
production taxes, or ownership interests (except as noted above). The Pioneer
USA evaluations resulted in oil, natural gas liquids (NGL), and gas combined
total net reserves of 13,882.872 MBBL, 7,008.607 MBBL, and 28,430.649 MMCF with
a combined total future net revenue discounted at 10.0 percent (DFNR) of
M$104,150.210. Pioneer USA updated the production generally through April 2001
and transmitted these March 31, 2001 roll-forward reports in the form of an
Aries database to Williamson for review. Williamson has reviewed the Pioneer USA
database and has determined that no changes have been made to the database
except for the effective date; oil, gas, and NGL prices; the addition of three
proved undeveloped locations; and the ownership interest changes noted above. In
reviewing the roll forward oil and gas reserves projections with the added six
months of production for the months of November 2000 through April 2001,
Williamson recommended and made changes to the oil and/or gas projections of
certain wells as required. These reserves changes resulted in a change to the
Pioneer USA combined total DFNR of M$1,870.163 or 1.8 percent of the combined
total DFNR. The change to the Pioneer USA DFNR for the individual partnerships
ranged from 16.4 percent to a negative 11.1 percent.



     Based on our review, it is the opinion of Williamson that the estimates of
the reviewed oil and gas reserves and associated future net revenue prepared by
Pioneer USA effective March 31, 2001 are reasonable in the aggregate and were
prepared in accordance with generally accepted petroleum engineering and
evaluation principles as set forth in "Standards Pertaining to the Estimating
and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information" promulgated by the Society of
Petroleum Engineers.



     Exhibits II, III, and IV detail the Pioneer USA oil, NGL, and gas net
reserves and associated future net revenue, undiscounted and discounted for each
Partnership for the Total Proved, Total Proved Developed, and Total Proved
Undeveloped, respectively, from the Williamson review letters.



III. CONSENT AND DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENT STATUS



     We understand that the estimates prepared by Pioneer USA and reviewed by
Williamson are to be included in the proxy statement/prospectus filed by you
with the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act


                                       B-3
   151


of 1934. We understand further that the estimates may be used by you to
establish merger values for the Partnerships. With this understanding in mind,
it is our opinion that the estimates of reserves and associated future net
revenue prepared by Pioneer USA and reviewed by us are reasonable in the
aggregate and were prepared in accordance with generally accepted petroleum
engineering and evaluation principles in estimating the proved oil and gas
reserves and in computing the future net revenue derived from such reserves for
each property attributable to the interests held by the Partnerships.



     Williamson is an independent consulting firm and does not own any interests
in the oil and gas properties covered by this summary letter. No employee,
officer, or director of Williamson is an employee, officer, or director of
Pioneer USA or any of the subject Partnerships. Neither the employment of nor
the compensation received by Williamson is contingent upon the values assigned
to the properties covered by this summary letter.



                                   Yours very truly,



                                   WILLIAMSON PETROLEUM CONSULTANTS, INC.

Attention Board of Directors

Gentlemen:


Subject: Revised Letter Report Including 46 Reports Prepared

         by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc.
         for Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.

         to the Interests of the Limited Partners

         or the Converted Limited Partners
         in Various Parker & Parsley Partnerships
         Managed by Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.
         Effective December 31, 2000
         for Disclosure to the
         Securities and Exchange Commission
         Williamson Project 0.8839


     In accordance with your request, Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc.
(Williamson) has prepared this revised summary letter for inclusion in the proxy
statement to be distributed to the limited partners of the referenced
partnerships by Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. (Pioneer USA). This letter
includes 46 Williamson reports prepared for Pioneer USA to the interests of the
limited partners or the converted limited partners in various Parker & Parsley
partnerships managed by Pioneer USA effective December 31, 2000 for disclosure
to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). A listing of the 46 Williamson
reports is included as Exhibit I. This letter report has been revised to include
updated wording in the definitions of SEC reserves. No other changes have been
made to this document.


I. ESTIMATED RESERVES AND ESTIMATED FUTURE NET REVENUES

     The total Williamson estimated net proved reserves that are attributable to
the evaluated interests of the 46 partnership reports are shown in Exhibit II
and were based on economic parameters and operating condition considered
applicable as of December 31, 2000 and may be used in disclosure to the SEC.

     The present values of the estimated future net revenues from proved
reserves were calculated using a discount rate of 10.00 percent per annum and
were computed in accordance with the financial reporting requirements of the SEC
and are presented in Exhibit II.

     At the request of Pioneer USA, Williamson used the Landmark graphics and
reserves and economics evaluation software, Aries, to prepare this summary
report. In evaluations of these properties prior to December 31, 1991,
Williamson utilized its proprietary software programs. No comparative tests have
been performed to determine the difference in evaluation results of either
reserves or revenue quantities that may occur solely as a result of the
differences in the programs nor has Williamson performed tests to

                                       C-1
   164

determine the accuracy of Aries. However, in accordance with the request made by
Pioneer USA and the general acceptance of Aries by the oil and gas industry,
Williamson has used Aries to prepare this report.

II. DEFINITIONS OF SEC RESERVES(1)

     The estimated reserves presented in this summary letter are net proved
reserves, including proved developed producing, proved developed nonproducing,
and proved undeveloped reserves, and were computed in accordance with the
financial reporting requirements of the SEC. In preparing these evaluations, no
attempt has been made to quantify the element of uncertainty associated with any
category. Reserves were assigned to each category as warranted. The definitions
of oil and gas reserves pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange
Act are:


  Proved Oil and Gas Reserves



     Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil,
natural gas, and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data
demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from
known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e., prices
and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices include consideration of
changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on
escalations based upon future conditions.


          A. Reservoirs are considered proved if economic producibility is
     supported by either actual production or conclusive formation test. The
     area of a reservoir considered proved includes:

             1. that portion delineated by drilling and defined by gas-oil
        and/or oil-water contacts, if any; and

             2. the immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled, but which
        can be reasonably judged as economically productive on the basis of
        available geological and engineering data. In the absence of information
        on fluid contacts, the lowest known structural occurrence of
        hydrocarbons controls the lower proved limit of the reservoir.

          B. Reserves which can be produced economically through application of
     improved recovery techniques (such as fluid injection) are included in the
     "proved" classification when successful testing by a pilot project, or the
     operation of an installed program in the reservoir, provides support for
     the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based.

          C. Estimates of proved reserves do not include the following:

             1. oil that may become available from known reservoirs but is
        classified separately as "indicated additional reserves";

             2. crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, the recovery of
        which is subject to reasonable doubt because of uncertainty as to
        geology, reservoir characteristics, or economic factors;

             3. crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that may occur
        in undrilled prospects; and


             4. crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that may be
        recovered from oil shales, coal, gilsonite, and other such sources.

    Commission, see United States Securities and Exchange Commission, Regulation
    S-X, Article 4 -- Rules of General Application, Reg. 210.4-10.


                                       C-2
   165


  Proved Developed Oil and Gas Reserves(2)



     Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to
be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating
methods. Additional oil and gas expected to be obtained through the application
of fluid injection or other improved recovery techniques for supplementing the
natural forces and mechanisms of primary recovery should be included as "proved
developed reserves" only after testing by a pilot project or after the operation
of an installed program has confirmed through production response that increased
recovery will be achieved.


  Proved Undeveloped Reserves


     Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves that are expected to
be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a
relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled
acreage shall be limited to those drilling units offsetting productive units
that are reasonably certain of production when drilled. Proved reserves for
other undrilled units can be claimed only where it can be demonstrated with
certainty that there is continuity of production from the existing productive
formation. Under no circumstances should estimates for proved undeveloped
reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid
injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such
techniques have been proved effective by actual tests in the area and in the
same reservoir.


III. DISCUSSION OF SEC RESERVES

     The properties evaluated in this report are located in the states of
Oklahoma and Texas with the majority of the value in the Spraberry (Trend Area)
field, Texas.

     The individual projections of lease reserves and economics prepared to
produce this summary report include data that describe the production forecasts
and associated evaluation parameters such as interests, taxes, product prices,
operating costs, investments, salvage values, abandonment costs, and net profit
interests.

     Net income to the evaluated interests is the future net revenue after
consideration of royalty revenue payable to others, taxes, operating expenses,
investments, salvage values, abandonment costs, and net profit interests, as
applicable. The future net revenue is before federal income tax and excludes
consideration of any encumbrances against the properties if such exist.

     The future net revenue values presented in this report were based on
projections of oil and gas production. It was assumed there would be no
significant delay between the date of oil and gas production and the receipt of
the associated revenue for this production. No opinion is expressed by
Williamson in this report as to a fair market value of the evaluated properties.

     Unless specifically identified and documented by Pioneer USA as having
curtailment problems, gas production trends have been assumed to be a function
of well productivity and not of market conditions. The effect of "take or pay"
clauses in gas contracts was not considered.

     Oil and natural gas liquids (NGL) reserves are expressed in thousands of
United States (U.S.) barrels (MBBL) of 42 U.S. gallons. Gas volumes are
expressed in millions of cubic feet (MMCF) at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and at the
legal pressure base that prevails in the state which the reserves are located.
No adjustment of the individual gas volumes to a common pressure base has been
made.

---------------


(2) Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. separates proved developed reserves
    into proved developed producing and proved developed nonproducing reserves.
    This is to identify proved developed producing reserves as those to be
    recovered from actively producing wells; proved developed nonproducing
    reserves as those to be recovered from wells or intervals within wells,
    which are completed but shut in waiting on equipment or pipeline
    connections, or wells where a relatively minor expenditure is required for
    recompletion to another zone.


                                       C-3
   166

     This report includes only those costs and revenues which are considered by
Pioneer USA to be directly attributable to individual leases and areas. There
could exist other revenues, overhead costs, or other costs associated with
Pioneer USA or the Limited Partners/Converted Limited Partners which are not
included in this report. Such additional costs and revenues are outside the
scope of this report. This report is not a financial statement for Pioneer USA
or the Limited Partners/Converted Limited Partners and should not be used as the
sole basis for any transaction concerning Pioneer USA, the Limited
Partners/Converted Limited Partners, or the evaluated properties.

     The reserves projections in this report are based on the use of the
available data and accepted industry engineering methods. Future changes in any
operational or economic parameters or production characteristics of the
evaluated properties could increase or decrease their reserves. Unforeseen
changes in market demand or allowables set by various regulatory agencies could
also cause actual production rates to vary from those projected. Williamson
reserves the right to alter any of the reserves projections and the associated
economics included in this evaluation in any future evaluations based on
additional data that may be acquired.

     All data utilized in the preparation of this report with respect to
interests, reversionary status, oil and gas prices, gas categories, gas contract
terms, operating expenses, investments, salvage values, abandonment costs, net
profit interests, well information, and current operating conditions, as
applicable, were provided by Pioneer USA. Production data provided by Pioneer
USA were utilized. The production data was generally through October 2000. All
data have been reviewed for reasonableness and, unless obvious errors were
detected, have been accepted as correct. It should be emphasized that revisions
to the projections of reserves and economics included in this report may be
required if the provided data are revised for any reason. No inspection of the
properties was made as this was not considered within the scope of this
evaluation. No investigation was made of any environmental liabilities that
might apply to the evaluated properties, and no costs are included for any
possible related expenses.

     Since sufficient production history and other data were available, the
estimates of reserves contained in this report were determined by extrapolation
of historical production trends and in accordance with the Definitions of SEC
Reserves included in this summary letter report.

     Prices for oil sold as of December 31, 2000 were provided by Pioneer USA to
be used at the effective date. These prices include adjustments for API gravity,
transportation, and any bonus paid. These adjustments were made by Pioneer USA.
After the effective date, prices were held constant for the life of the
properties. No attempt has been made to account for oil price fluctuations which
have occurred in the market subsequent to the effective date of this report.

     Prices for gas sold as of December 31, 2000 were provided by Pioneer USA to
be used at the effective date. These prices include adjustments for British
thermal unit content, shrinkage due to NGL removal, transportation and handling
charges, and any other known differences between sales and produced volumes.
These adjustments were made by Pioneer USA. After the effective date, prices
were held constant for the life of the properties unless Pioneer USA indicated
that changes were provided for by contract. All gas prices were applied to
projected wellhead volumes.

     Prices for NGL sold as of December 31, 2000 were provided by Pioneer USA to
be used at the effective date. NGL reserves were projected as a separate stream
using a constant ratio (barrels of NGL/thousand cubic feet of gas) based on
historical yields. After the effective date, prices were held constant for the
life of the properties. No attempt has been made to account for price
fluctuations which have occurred in the market subsequent to the effective date
of this report.

     It should be emphasized that with the current economic uncertainties,
fluctuation in market conditions could significantly change the economics of the
properties included in this report.

possible, the latest available 12-month average of all recurring expenses which
are billable to the working interest owners. These expenses included, but were
not limited to, all direct operating expenses, field overhead costs, and any ad

expected on a recurring basis. Judgments for the exclusion of the nonrecurring
expenses were made by Pioneer USA. Operating costs were held constant for the
life of the properties.

published rates as provided by Pioneer USA. A 7.5 percent severance tax

IV. CONSENT AND DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENT STATUS

     We understand that our estimates are to be included in a Schedule 13e-3
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to be filed by you with the SEC and in
the proxy statement included as an exhibit to such Schedule 13e-3. We understand
further that the estimates may be used by you to establish merger values for the
Partnerships. With this understanding in mind, we have consistently applied the
generally accepted petroleum engineering and evaluation principles in estimating
the proved oil and gas reserves and in computing the future net revenues derived
from such reserves for each property attributable to the interests held by the
Partnerships.

     Based on information supplied by Pioneer USA, neither capital costs nor
salvage values were included in the projections of reserves and economics in
this report.

     Williamson is an independent consulting firm and does not own any interests
in the oil and gas properties covered by this report. No employee, officer, or
director of Williamson is an employee, officer, or director of Pioneer USA or
any of the subject partnerships. Neither the employment of nor the compensation
received by Williamson is contingent upon the values assigned to the properties
covered by this report.

Board of Directors of
Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.,
As the Sole or Managing General Partner of
The Partnerships Identified on Exhibit I
1400 Williams Square West
5205 North O'Connor Boulevard
Irving, Texas 75039

Gentlemen:


     Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), the sole or managing
general partner of the partnerships identified in Exhibit I attached hereto
("the Partnerships"), has advised us that the Partnerships are contemplating a
transaction (the "Transaction") pursuant to an agreement (the "Merger
Agreement") in which the Partnerships will merge with and into Pioneer USA and
the interests of the limited partners (the "Limited Partners") in each
Partnership will be converted into the right to receive shares of common stock
(the "Pioneer Parent Shares") of Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer
Parent") equal to the estimated value of such Partnership's oil and gas reserves
(the "Reserve Value") and net working capital (the "Working Capital Balance") as
of March 31, 2001, less such Partnership's pro rata share, based upon its
Reserve Value, of the first $2 million of estimated expenses and fees of the
mergers of all of the Partnerships and a cash distribution made in July, 2001
(collectively, referred to herein as the "Merger Value"). We have been advised
that the Merger Value will be allocated and paid to holders of limited
partnership interests (the "Limited Partner Interests") of each Partnership in
accordance with the provisions of the Partnership agreement of each Partnership
relating to a liquidation of the Partnership.



     We have been further advised that the Reserve Value has been established by
Pioneer USA and its parent company, Pioneer Parent, based upon the present value
of estimated future net revenues (after certain expenses and charges) from each
Partnership's proved oil and gas reserves as of March 31, 2001 utilizing prices
for 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and thereafter of $26.17, $24.36, $22.83, $22.31 and
$21.97 per barrel of oil and $5.18, $4.61, $4.16, $4.09 and $4.12 per thousand
cubic feet of gas, and a discount rate of 10.0%. We have been further advised
that the Reserve Value is based upon the reserve report of Pioneer USA and
Pioneer Parent, as reviewed by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc.
("Williamson"), an independent petroleum engineering firm, as of March 31, 2001,
and to which Pioneer USA and Pioneer Parent applied the prices previously stated
(the "Reserve Analysis").



     We have been advised that the Limited Partners in each Partnership will
have the opportunity to approve or reject the participation by their Partnership
in the Transaction pursuant to a proxy statement/ prospectus (the "Proxy
Statement/Prospectus") and a Limited Partners meeting which will be prepared and
held, respectively, in connection with the Transaction, and further that Limited
Partners in each Partnership, in exchange for Limited Partner Interests, will
receive the allocated Merger Value in Pioneer Parent Shares. We have been
advised that the value to be ascribed to each share of Pioneer Parent, which is
listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), shall be equal to the average
closing price for such shares on the NYSE for the ten trading day period ending
three business days prior to the special meeting of the Limited Partners
contemplated herein.


                                       D-1

     You have requested that Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc. ("Stanger") provide
an opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of view to the unaffiliated
Limited Partners of each Partnership and the unaffiliated limited partners of
the nonmanaging general partner of each applicable Partnership of the Merger
Value ascribed to each Partnership and the allocation thereof to: (i) the
Limited Partners of each Partnership, as a group; (ii) the general partners of
each Partnership as a group; (iii) Pioneer USA, as the managing or sole general
partner of each partnership; (iv) the unaffiliated Limited Partners of each
Partnership, as a group; and (v) the unaffiliated limited partners of the
nonmanaging general partner of each applicable Partnership as a group.


     Stanger, founded in 1978, has provided research, investment banking and
consulting services to clients located throughout the United States, including
major New York Stock Exchange member firms and insurance companies and over
seventy companies engaged in the management and operations of partnerships. The
investment banking activities of Stanger include financial advisory services,
asset and securities valuations, industry and company research and analysis,
litigation support and expert witness services, and due diligence investigations
in connection with both publicly registered and privately placed securities
transactions.

     Stanger, as part of its investment banking business, is regularly engaged
in the valuation of securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, and
reorganizations and for estate, tax, corporate and other purposes. In
particular, Stanger's valuation practice principally involves partnerships,
partnership securities and assets typically owned through partnerships
including, but not limited to, oil and gas reserves, real estate, mortgages
secured by real estate, cable television systems, and equipment leasing assets.

     In arriving at the opinion set forth below, we have:

     - Reviewed the Preliminary Proxy Statement/Prospectus;

     - Reviewed a draft of the Merger Agreement which Pioneer USA has indicated
       to be in substantially the form which will be executed in connection with
       the Transaction;


     - Reviewed the financial statements of each partnership, including, if
       applicable, the partnership's Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, for the six months
       ended June 30, 2001 and for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and
       1998;



     - Reviewed the Reserve Analyses of each Partnership reviewed by Williamson
       as of March 31, 2001;



     - Reviewed the Reserve Analyses of each Partnership prepared by Williamson
      as of December 31, 2000;



     - Reviewed the calculations prepared by Pioneer USA and Pioneer Parent of
       the Merger Value per $1,000 original investment in each Partnership;



     - Reviewed Pioneer USA's analysis of other alternatives to the merger of
      each partnership, including going concern value, liquidation value,
      royalty trust and production payment;



     - Reviewed estimates prepared by Pioneer USA and Pioneer Parent of the
       going concern value and liquidation value per $1,000 original investment
       in each Partnership;


     - Interviewed key management personnel of Pioneer USA regarding the oil and
       gas reserves, the financial condition of each Partnership and the terms
       of the Transaction;


     - Reviewed the financial statements of Pioneer Parent included in its Form
       10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and its Form 10-K for the
       years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998;



     - Reviewed pro forma financial data for Pioneer Parent assuming the
       completion of the Transaction;


     - Reviewed recent secondary market trading activity for interests in the
       Partnerships, as available;

     - Reviewed recent trading activity in Pioneer Parent Shares; and

     - Conducted such other studies, analyses, inquiries and investigations as
       we deemed appropriate.

     In rendering this opinion, we have relied, without independent
verification, on the accuracy and completeness in all material respects of all
financial and other information that was furnished or otherwise communicated to
us by Pioneer USA, Pioneer Parent and the Partnerships. We have been advised by
Pioneer USA and Pioneer Parent that the oil and gas properties owned by the
Partnerships are subject to operating agreements (the "Operating Agreements")
with Pioneer USA and that: (i) such Operating Agreements provide for the payment
of overhead charges and that such charges are reasonable compared to amounts
charged for similar services by third-party operators; and (ii) except for
cause, such Operating Agreements do not provide for the termination of Pioneer
USA as operator, and (iii) such Operating Agreements do not provide for the
revision of overhead charges, except as escalated under the terms of such
Operating Agreements. Furthermore, we have been advised by Pioneer USA and
Pioneer Parent that if each Partnership's reserves were offered for sale to a
third party, a condition of such sale would be that the oil and gas reserves
would continue to be subject to the Operating Agreements with Pioneer USA which
provide for the payment of overhead charges, and that it would be appropriate to
assume, when estimating the value of such reserves, that such charges would
continue. We have also been advised that the Merger Value of each Partnership
has been properly allocated between Pioneer USA, the unaffiliated limited
partners of the nonmanaging general partner, and Limited Partners of each
Partnership in accordance with the Partnership Agreement with respect to a
liquidation of such Partnership.



     We have not performed an independent appraisal of the oil and gas reserves
or other assets and liabilities of the Partnerships. We have not conducted any
engineering studies and have relied on estimates of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
Parent, which were reviewed by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., with
respect to oil and gas reserve volumes, prices, operating costs, and overhead
charges.



     We have relied on the assurance of Pioneer USA, Pioneer Parent and the
Partnerships that: (i) the Reserve Analysis provided to us was in the judgment
of Pioneer USA and the Partnerships reasonably prepared on bases consistent with
actual historical experience and reflect their best currently available
estimates and good faith judgments; (ii) there are no estimates of costs to
remediate environmental conditions included in the Reserve Analysis; (iii) any
historical financial data, balance sheet data, transaction cost estimates,
Merger Value analyses, going concern value analyses and liquidation value
analyses are accurate and complete in all material respects; (iv) all
allocations included within the calculations of Merger Values, going concern
values and liquidation values have been made in accordance with the Partnership
Agreement for each Partnership; (v) no material changes have occurred in the
information reviewed or in the value of the oil and gas reserves or Working
Capital Balances as of March 31, 2001 of each Partnership between the date the
information was provided to us and the date of this letter; (vi) the relative
ownership interest of the Limited Partners, unaffiliated Limited Partners,
general partners, unaffiliated limited partners of the nonmanaging general
partner of each applicable Partnership and Pioneer USA, as manager or sole
general partner, is accurately included in accordance with the Partnership
Agreements on the analyses provided to us by Pioneer USA; (vii) neither Pioneer
Parent or any of its affiliates has during the thirty days prior to the date
hereof commenced or continued a share repurchase program or similar transaction
which could affect the Pioneer Parent Share price to be used in the Transaction;
and (viii) Pioneer USA, Pioneer Parent and the Partnerships are not aware of any
information or facts regarding the Partnerships, the oil and gas properties, the
Reserve Analysis or the Working Capital Balances of each Partnership that would
cause the information supplied to us to be incomplete or misleading in any
material respect.



     We have not been requested to, and therefore did not: (i) make any
recommendation to Pioneer USA, the Partnerships or the Limited Partners with
respect to whether to approve or reject the Transaction; (ii) determine or
negotiate the amount or form of the Merger Value to be paid for Limited Partner
Interests in the Transaction; (iii) offer the assets of the Partnerships for
sale to any third party; (iv) express any opinion as to: (a) the impact of the
Transaction with respect to Pioneer USA or the Limited Partners of any
Partnerships that do not participate in the Transaction; (b) the tax
consequences of the Transaction for Pioneer USA, the unaffiliated limited
partners of the nonmanaging general partner or the Limited Partners of any
Partnership; (c) Pioneer USA's or Pioneer Parent's ability to finance their
obligations pursuant to the Merger Agreement or the impact of a failure to
obtain financing on the


                                       D-3
   178

financial performance of Pioneer USA, Pioneer Parent or the Partnerships; (d)
Pioneer USA's decision to estimate the Reserve Value of the oil and gas reserves
of each Partnership based upon the continued operation of the properties by
Pioneer USA and the payment of overhead charges in accordance with existing
Operating Agreements or the impact, if any, on the estimated values of the
Partnerships' oil and gas reserves if Pioneer USA and Pioneer Parent determined
to offer or operate the assets subject to revised Operating Agreements; (e)
whether or not alternative methods of determining the Merger Value would have
also provided fair results or results substantially similar to the methodology
used; (f) alternatives to the Transaction, including the offering of such assets
for sale to third-party buyers; (g) the trading price of Pioneer Parent Shares
immediately following the closing of the Transaction and the distribution of
Pioneer Parent Shares in connection therewith; (h) the fairness of the
termination of the repurchase obligations of Pioneer USA with respect to those
partnerships wherein Pioneer USA is obligated to offer to repurchase limited
partnership interests annually based upon a formula which, in certain
circumstances including the repurchase offers based upon December 31, 2000 oil
and gas prices, result in repurchase offer prices above the market value for the
reserves of such Partnerships; or (i) any other terms of the Transaction.

     This letter does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses
performed or the matters considered in rendering this opinion. The analyses and
the summary set forth herein must be considered as a whole, and selecting
portions of such summary or analyses without considering all factors and
analyses would create an incomplete view of the process underlying this opinion.
In rendering this opinion, judgment was applied to a variety of complex analyses
and assumptions. The assumptions made and the judgments applied in rendering the
opinion are not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description.
The fact that any specific analysis is referred to herein is not meant to
indicate that such analysis was given greater weight than any other analyses.

     Our opinion is based on business, economic, oil and gas market, and other
conditions as of the date of our analysis and addresses the Merger Value in the
context of information available as of the date of our analysis. Events
occurring after that date could affect the value of the assets of the
Partnerships or the assumptions used in preparing this opinion.


     Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the
date of this letter and subject to the assumptions, limitations and
qualifications contained herein, the Merger Value ascribed to each Partnership
in connection with the Transaction and the allocation thereof to: (i) the
Limited Partners of each Partnership, as a group; (ii) the general partners of
each Partnership, as a group; (iii) Pioneer USA, as the managing or sole general
partner of each Partnership; (iv) the unaffiliated Limited Partners of each
Partnership, as a group; and (v) the unaffiliated limited partners of the
non-managing general partner of each applicable Partnership, as a group; is fair
to the unaffiliated Limited Partners of each Partnership and the unaffiliated
limited partners of the nonmanaging general partner of each applicable
Partnership, from a financial point of view.

                           PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS

                              THE MERGER PROPOSALS

     The merger proposals for each partnership, except as otherwise indicated,
are set forth below. For each partnership, the merger proposals include the
approval of:

     - the merger agreement for that partnership, pursuant to which:


      - the partnership will be merged with and into Pioneer USA, on the terms
        and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement as
        described in the proxy statement/prospectus; and



      - each partner, whether limited or general, but other than Pioneer USA,
        will receive Pioneer Parent common stock in an amount based on the
        merger value of that partnership in exchange for that partner's
        partnership interests;


     - the merger amendment for that partnership authorizing:


      - the merger of the partnership with and into Pioneer USA, with Pioneer
        USA being the surviving entity;



      - the elimination of any restrictions on the merger otherwise contained in
        the partnership's partnership agreement; and


     - the opinion of special legal counsel for the limited partners and the
       selection of that counsel.

     For each partnership, approval of the merger proposals requires the
affirmative vote of limited partners who own or have the power to vote a
majority, or 66 2/3% for Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B,
L.P., of the limited partnership interests in that partnership. The effect of an
abstention or a failure to vote is the same as a vote against the merger
proposals. See "The Special Meetings -- Record Date; Voting Rights and Proxies."
Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger of each partnership as
described in the proxy statement/prospectus under "The Merger Agreement," if the
merger proposals are approved by a partnership, that participating partnership
will merge with and into Pioneer USA, with Pioneer USA being the surviving
entity. From and after the closing of the merger of each participating
partnership, the partnership interests of the partners in that partnership will
represent the right to receive an amount of Pioneer Parent common stock as
described in the proxy statement/prospectus.


     Generally, the partnership agreement of each partnership requires that
special legal counsel for the limited partners, acceptable to the partnership,
deliver a legal opinion, acceptable to the partnership, that (1) neither the
grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the partnership by
its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax classification
of the partnership or any of its limited partners and (2) neither the grant nor
exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited partner's limited
liability.                of      ,      has delivered that opinion, subject to
the approval of the limited partners of that opinion and the selection of
special legal counsel for the limited partners. See "The Merger of Each
Partnership -- Legal Opinion for Limited Partners."

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements
contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE 1

surviving corporation, shall continue to exist by virtue of and shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

     (a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the merger of each Partnership and

described in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, less its pro rata share, based on
its reserve value, of the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of all of
the Partnerships and less the cash distribution mailed on July 13, 2001, by the
Partnership to its partners. The merger value for each Partnership will not be
adjusted as of the Closing Date. The number of shares of Pioneer Parent Common
Stock to be issued for each partnership interest of each Partnership will be
based on (i) the Partnership's merger value divided by (ii) the average closing
price of the Pioneer Parent Common Stock, as reported by the New York Stock
Exchange, for the ten trading days ending three business days before the initial
date scheduled for the special meeting for the Partnership. For purposes of
illustration in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA
calculated the aggregate number of shares of Pioneer Parent Common Stock to be
offered based on $18.00 per share of Pioneer Parent Common Stock. Pioneer Parent
and Pioneer USA shall update the aggregate number of shares of Pioneer Parent
Common Stock to be issued based on the average closing price as described in
clause (ii) above before the date of the special meeting for each Partnership.
The merger value assigned to each Partnership and the amount of Pioneer Parent
Common Stock offered with respect to each $1,000 investment by the limited
partners in the Partnership pursuant to the merger of the Partnership are set
forth in the table entitled "Summary Table -- Merger Value and Amount of Initial
Limited Partner Investment Repaid" in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.



     (b) All partnership interests of each Partnership, when converted into the
right to receive Pioneer Parent Common Stock, shall no longer be outstanding and
shall automatically be cancelled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each
holder of a certificate representing any such partnership interests shall cease
to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the amount
of Pioneer Parent Common Stock to be delivered in consideration therefor.


     (c) The partnership interests, whether general or limited, in each
Partnership held directly or indirectly by Pioneer USA shall be cancelled
without any consideration being received therefor; provided, however, that as a
result of the merger of each Partnership, Pioneer USA will own 100% of the
properties of the Partnership, including properties attributable to its
partnership interests in the Partnership.


     (d) No fractional shares of Pioneer Parent Common Stock will be issued.
Each fractional share of Pioneer Parent Common Stock to be issued to a partner
of a Partnership will be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

   188


     (e) When any person has partnership interests in more than one Partnership
that merges with Pioneer USA, Pioneer USA and Pioneer Parent may, at their sole
discretion, aggregate the number of shares of Pioneer Parent Common Stock to be
issued to that person before making the rounding and other adjustments provided
in the preceding clause (d).



     (f) If any limited partner is indebted to Pioneer USA for any portion of
the limited partner's original investment in the Partnership, Pioneer USA plans
to apply the Pioneer Parent Common Stock that would otherwise be distributed to
the limited partner upon completion of the merger of the Partnership against
that limited partner's indebtedness. If a limited partner's indebtedness to
Pioneer USA is less than the merger value allocated to limited partnership
interests held by the limited partner, the limited partner shall receive Pioneer
Parent Common Stock equal to the amount by which such merger value exceeds such
indebtedness. If a limited partner's indebtedness to Pioneer USA is greater than
the merger value allocated to the limited partnership interests held by the
limited partner, Pioneer USA may collect the deficiency from the limited
partner.



     (g) To the extent that Pioneer USA or a Partnership is required to withhold
and pay over, or otherwise pay, any withholding or other tax (the "Required
Withholding") with respect to a partner or former partner in a Partnership (the
"Withholding Partner") as a result of the Withholding Partner's current or
former participation in the Partnership, Pioneer USA or the Partnership shall be
entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) the
Required Holding from the merger consideration (including the Pioneer Parent
Common Stock) otherwise payable to the Withholding Partner. In the event Pioneer
USA or a Partnership withholds Pioneer Parent Common Stock in order to satisfy
the Required Withholding with respect to a Withholding Partner, Pioneer USA or
the Partnership, as appropriate, may, in its sole discretion, (i) sell such
Pioneer Parent Common Stock and use the proceeds therefrom to satisfy the
Required Withholding, (ii) hold such Pioneer Parent Common Stock as security for
the satisfaction of the Required Withholding by the Withholding Partner, in
which case the Pioneer Parent Common Stock shall be released to the Withholding
Partner upon the full satisfaction of the Required Withholding by the
Withholding Partner, or (iii) take such other reasonable action as is required
or appropriate to satisfy the Required Withholding at the sole expense of the
Withholding Partner. To the extent that amounts are so withheld or deducted (or
caused to be withheld or deducted) by Pioneer USA or a Partnership, such amounts
shall be treated for all purposes of this Merger Agreement as having been paid
to the Withholding Partner.


     1.3  Closing.  The closing of the merger of each Partnership (the
"Closing") shall take place at the offices of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., 3700
Trammell Crow Center, 2001 Ross Avenue, Dallas, Texas 75201, as soon as
practicable after the fulfillment of the conditions referred to in Article 4, or
at such other time and place as the parties shall agree (the date of such
Closing being the "Closing Date").

     1.4  Effective Time of Merger of Each Partnership.  Upon satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in Article 4 hereof and as soon as practicable after
the Closing, this Merger Agreement, or a certificate of merger setting forth the
information required by, and otherwise in compliance with, Section 263 of the
General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL") and, if
applicable, Section 17-211 of the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act of the
State of Delaware (the "DRULPA") with respect to the merger of each Partnership,
shall be delivered for filing with the Secretary of State of the State of
Delaware. At such time, if applicable, a certificate of merger with respect to
the merger of each Partnership setting forth the information required by, and
otherwise in compliance with, Section 2.11 the Revised Limited Partnership Act
of the State of Texas (the "TRLPA") shall be delivered for filing with the
Secretary of State of the State of Texas. The merger of each Partnership shall
become effective upon the later of (a) the day and at the time the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware files this Merger Agreement or such certificate
of merger in compliance with Section 263 of the DGCL and, if applicable, Section
17-211 of the DRULPA, and (b) if applicable, the day and at the time the
Secretary of State of the State of Texas files such certificate of merger in
compliance with Section 2.11 of the TRLPA (the time of such effectiveness is
herein called the "Effective Time"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, by action of
its board of directors, either Pioneer Parent or Pioneer USA, in its individual
capacity or as the sole general partner of each Partnership, may terminate this
Merger Agreement at any time prior to the earlier

the laws of the State of Delaware and the State of Texas, as the case may be,
shall succeed to and possess all the rights, privileges, powers, and franchises,
of a public as well as of a private nature, of the Partnership; and all
property, real, personal and mixed, and all debts due on whatsoever account,
including subscriptions to shares, and all other choses in action, and all and
every other interest, of or belonging to or due to the Partnership shall be
deemed to be vested in Pioneer USA without further act or deed; and the title to
any real estate, or any interest therein, vested in Pioneer USA or the
Partnership shall not revert or be in any way impaired by reason of the merger
of the Partnership. Such transfer to and vesting in Pioneer USA shall be deemed
to occur by operation of law, and no consent or approval of any other person
shall be required in connection with any such transfer or vesting unless such
consent or approval is specifically required in the event of merger or
consolidation by law or express provision in any contract, agreement, decree,
order, or other instrument to which Pioneer USA or the Partnership is a party or
by which either of them is bound. At and after the Effective Time, Pioneer USA
shall be responsible and liable for all debts, liabilities, and duties of each
Partnership, including franchise taxes, if any, which may be enforced against
Pioneer USA to the same extent as if said debts, liabilities, and duties had
been incurred or contracted by it. Neither the rights of creditors nor any liens
upon the property of any Partnership or Pioneer USA shall be impaired by the
merger of any Partnership.

until the same shall thereafter be altered, amended, or repealed in accordance
with law and Pioneer USA's certificate of incorporation. The bylaws of Pioneer

who was serving as an officer of Pioneer USA immediately prior to the Effective
Time shall continue to be an officer of Pioneer USA and shall continue to serve
in such capacity at the pleasure of the board of directors of Pioneer USA or, if
earlier, until their respective death or resignation. At the Effective Time,
each of the persons who was serving as a director of Pioneer USA immediately
prior to the Effective Time shall continue to be a director of Pioneer USA, and
each shall serve in such capacity until the next annual meeting of stockholders
of Pioneer USA and until his or her successor is elected and qualified or, if
earlier, until his death, resignation, or removal from office.

     1.9  Exchange of Partnership Interests for Pioneer Parent Common Stock.


     (a) Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company shall act as the transfer

the issuance of certificates representing shares of Pioneer Parent Common Stock

the Transfer Agent any transfer or other taxes required by reason of the
issuance of a certificate representing shares of Pioneer Parent Common Stock in
any name other than that of the registered holder of the cancelled limited
partnership interests, or otherwise required, or shall establish to the
satisfaction of the Transfer Agent that such tax has been paid or is not
payable.

are presented, they shall be exchanged for Pioneer Parent Common Stock, all as

     Partnership, excluding Pioneer USA and its affiliates) holding at least a
     majority (or, with respect to each Super-Majority Partnership, at least
     66 2/3%) of the outstanding limited partnership interests voting in person
     or by proxy at the Special Meetings at which a quorum is present, with
     respect to each merger.

          (b) Pioneer USA shall have received from Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc.
     a written opinion for inclusion in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus

     effect that, as of the date of that opinion, the merger value for each
     Partnership and the allocation of the merger value of the Partnership (1)
     to the limited partners of the Partnership as a group, (2) to the general
     partners of the Partnership as a group, (3) to Pioneer USA as the managing
     or sole general partner of the Partnership, (4) to the unaffiliated limited

     fair to the unaffiliated limited partners of the Partnership and the
     unaffiliated limited partners of the Nonmanaging General Partner, if any,
     of the Partnership, from a financial point of view. Such opinion shall not
     have been withdrawn prior to the Closing Date, unless a replacement opinion
     or opinions of an investment banking firm or firms satisfactory to Pioneer
     USA to a similar effect has been received by Pioneer USA and has not been
     withdrawn.

     be pending against Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA or any officer, director or

     aspect of the merger of any Partnership or the transactions related
     thereto.


          (f) The shares of Pioneer Parent Common Stock issuable upon the merger
     of each Partnership pursuant to this Merger Agreement shall have been
     authorized for listing on the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock
     Exchange upon official notice of issuance.


          (g) The parties to the merger of each Partnership having made all
     filings and registrations with, and notifications to, all third parties,
     including, without limitation, lenders and all appropriate regulatory
     authorities, required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by

     parties, including, without limitation, lenders and all regulatory
     authorities, required for consummation of the transactions contemplated by
     this Merger Agreement shall have been received and shall be in full force
     and effect, except for such filings, registrations, notifications,
     approvals, authorizations and consents, the failure of which to make or
     obtain would not have a material adverse effect on the business or
     financial condition of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA or any Partnership.

          (h) The absence of any opinion of counsel that the exercise by the

          (a) By mutual written consent of the parties;

          (b) By any party, if:

             (i) there shall be any applicable law, rule or regulation that
        makes consummation of the merger of any Partnership illegal or otherwise
        prohibited or if any judgment, injunction, order or decree enjoining any
        party from consummating the merger of any Partnership is entered and
        such judgment, injunction, order or decree shall have become final and
        non-appealable;

             (ii) at the Special Meeting of each Partnership or at any
        adjournment or postponement thereof, the approval of the limited
        partners of the Partnership referred to in Section 3.1(a) shall not have

     adverse effect on Pioneer USA or such Partnership, as the case may be, or
     materially and adversely affects the transactions contemplated by this
     Merger Agreement;

          (e) By Pioneer Parent or Pioneer USA, pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof;

          (f) By Pioneer USA, if Pioneer USA, after considering the written
     advice of outside legal counsel, determines in good faith that termination
     of this Merger Agreement is required for Pioneer USA's board of directors
     to comply with its fiduciary duties to its sole stockholder or to any
     Partnership imposed by applicable law; or


          (g) By Pioneer Parent, if there shall have occurred any event,
     circumstance, condition, development or occurrence causing, resulting in or
     having, or reasonably expected to cause, result in or have, a material
     adverse effect (i) on any Partnership's business, operations, properties
     (taken as a whole), condition (financial or otherwise), results of
     operations, assets (taken as a whole), liabilities, cash flows or
     prospects, (ii) on market prices for oil and gas prevailing generally in
     the oil and gas industry since the date of determination of the oil and gas

     Partnership, (iii) on the price of Pioneer Parent Common Stock or (iv) on
     the oil and gas industry generally.

Agreement shall forthwith terminate without further action by any of the parties
hereto. If this Merger Agreement is terminated as so provided, there shall be no

failure. Any agreement on the part of a party hereto to any such extension or
waiver shall be valid against such party if set forth in an instrument in
writing signed by such party.

----------

(a)      Stated in thousands.


(b)      The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
         value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated
         oil and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of
         March 31, 2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of
         the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the
         partnerships and less the cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the
         partnership to its partners.


(c)      Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
         $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
         investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You
         should not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the
         same as the value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)      The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum
         of (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's
         reserves during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated
         residual value from the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at
         the end of the operating period, in each case using the same pricing
         and discount rate as in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A)
         partnership level general and administrative expenses, and (B) the cash
         distribution on July 13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners.

(e)      The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
         partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation
         expenses which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro
         rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b)
         above and (B) 3% of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash
         distribution on July 13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The
         liquidation expenses represent the estimated costs to retain an
         investment banker or broker to sell the assets of the partnership and
         the legal and other closing costs associated with such transaction,
         including the wind-down costs of the partnership.


(f)      Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss
         to offset your other income may have been subject to certain
         limitations at your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to
         consult your tax advisor to determine the additional value, if any,
         actually realized by you in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

         The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special
legal counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA
that (1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger
of the partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal
income tax classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and
(2) neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

         The term of the partnership shall continue until terminated in
accordance with the applicable provisions of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1981 under the laws of the State of Texas.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
   Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended
  June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 11% to $211,753 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $191,199 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 4,203 barrels
of oil, 2,165 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 12,725 mcf of gas were
sold, or 8,489 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June
30, 2000, 4,524 barrels of oil, 2,512 barrels of NGLs and 12,333 mcf of gas were
sold, or 9,092 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.40, or 1%, from $27.49
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.89 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.43, or 10%, from
$13.83 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.26 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 86% from $2.60
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.83 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.


                                        6

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $97,903 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $95,493 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $2,410,
or 3%. This increase was due to increases in general and administrative expenses
("G&A"), production costs and depletion.

Production costs were $85,961 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and $85,156
for the same period in 2000 resulting in an $805 increase, or 1%. The increase
was due to increased production taxes due to higher oil and gas prices, offset
by less well maintenance costs.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
20% from $6,652 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $7,966 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $3,976 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$3,685 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $291, or 8%. This increase
was the result of a decline in proved reserves during the period ended June 30,
2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil production of 321
barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in
2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 7% to $103,562 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $97,018 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs and an increase in production, offset by a decline in the average price
received for oil. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 2,046 barrels of
oil, 1,395 barrels of NGLs and 7,163 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,635 BOEs. For
the three months ended June 30, 2000, 2,122 barrels of oil, 1,295 barrels of
NGLs and 6,231 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,456 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.67, or 2%, from $27.86
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.19 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.32, or
10%, from $13.13 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.45 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 16% to
$3.88 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $3.35 during the same
period in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $46,191 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $50,288 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of
$4,097, or 8%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs and G&A,
offset by an increase in depletion.

Production costs were $40,997 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$44,490 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $3,493 decrease, or 8%. The
decrease was due to less well maintenance costs.

During this period, G&A decreased 17%, from $3,731 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $3,109 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to lower
audit and tax expenses.

Depletion was $2,085 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$2,067 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $18.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $43,482 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $20,634 and a
reduction in working capital of $24,967, offset by an increase in production
costs of $805 and G&A expenses of $1,314. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an
additional $32,905 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $12,271 resulting from 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, offset by less well maintenance
costs. The increase in G&A was primarily due to a higher percentage of the
managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit
and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 were for expenditures related to equipment upgrades on various oil and
gas properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$68,431, of which $17,222 was distributed to the general partners and $51,209 to
the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $96,204, of which $23,868 was distributed to
the general partners and $72,336 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer

The Partners
Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd.
  (A Texas Limited Partnership):

We have audited the balance sheets of Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd. as of December
31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd. as
of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

                          (A Texas Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1981 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
general partners are Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA") and P&P
Employees 81-I, Ltd. ("EMPL"). The Partnership's managing general partner is
Pioneer USA.

        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. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

   219

        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved

in the industry. As a result, the Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment
provision of $50,343 related to its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES

        The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $308,345 less than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

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, 2000, 1999 and 1998 and
changes in such quantities during the years then ended. All of the Partnership's
reserves are proved developed and located within the United States. The
Partnership's reserves are based on an evaluation prepared by Williamson
Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent petroleum consultant, using criteria
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.30 per barrel of NGLs and $7.65 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $1,915,000 and undiscounted was $3,748,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

       The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

       Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NOTE 9. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of
the limited partnership agreement:

        General partners - The general partners of the Partnership are Pioneer
        USA and EMPL. Pioneer USA, the managing general partner, has the power
        and authority to manage, control and administer all Partnership affairs.
        As managing general partner and operator of the Partnership's
        properties, all production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and
        billed to the Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas
        revenues are received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of
        the oil and gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to
        being paid to the Partnership.

        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
        $7,410,000. The general partners are required to contribute amounts
        equal to 10% of Partnership expenditures for lease acquisition, drilling
        and completion and 25% of direct, general and administrative and
        operating expenses.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 60% to $416,230 for 2000 as
compared to $260,652 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. In 2000, 8,793
barrels of oil, 5,183 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 25,901 mcf of
gas were sold, or 18,293 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 9,249
barrels of oil, 5,721 barrels of NGLs and 28,708 mcf of gas were sold, or 19,755
BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.32, or 73%, from
$16.94 in 1999 to $29.26 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.38, or 58%, from $9.22 in 1999 to $14.60 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of increased 81% from $1.78 in 1999 to $3.22 in 2000. 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 2000.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $198,689 as compared to $190,778
in 1999, an increase of $7,911, or 4%. The increase was primarily due to an
increase in production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"),
offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $174,233 in 2000 and $165,810 in 1999, resulting in an
$8,423 increase, or 5%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by less well maintenance
costs.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
20% from $13,087 in 1999 to $15,697 in 2000, primarily due to a higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The
Partnership paid the managing general partner $12,487 in 2000 and $7,820 in 1999
for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid
directly by the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the
allocated expenses based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative
to the non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

Depletion was $8,759 in 2000 as compared to $11,881 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $3,122, or 26%. This decrease was primarily due to a 20,821 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of the higher
commodity prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 30% to $260,652 from
$199,789 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received and an increase in production. In 1999, 9,249 barrels of oil, 5,721
barrels of NGLs and 28,708 mcf of gas were sold, or 19,755 BOEs. In 1998, 9,634
barrels of oil, 4,303 barrels of NGLs and 24,638 mcf of gas were sold, or 18,043
BOEs.



   226

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.61, or 27%, from
$13.33 in 1998 to $16.94 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.82, or 44%, from $6.40 in 1998 to $9.22 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas remained unchanged at $1.78 in 1998 and 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $190,778 as compared to $333,665
in 1998, a decrease of $142,887, or 43%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in depletion and the impairment of oil and gas properties, offset by an
increase in production costs and G&A.

Production costs were $165,810 in 1999 and $157,631 in 1998, resulting in an
$8,179 increase, or 5%. The increase was due to additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production and an increase in production taxes
due to increased oil and gas revenues, offset by a decline in ad valorem taxes.

During this period, G&A increased 47% from $8,892 in 1998 to $13,087 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $7,820 in
1999 and $6,250 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $50,343 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $11,881 in 1999 compared to $116,799 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $104,918, or 90%. This decrease was the result of a combination of
factors that included an increase in proved reserves of 104,672 barrels of oil
during 1999 as a result of the higher commodity prices, a reduction in the
Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS
121 during the fourth quarter of 1998 and a decline in oil production of 385
barrels for the period ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period in
1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $124,224 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $156,791, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $8,423, G&A expenses paid of $2,610 and working capital of $21,534. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $187,015 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $30,224 resulting from the decline in production during 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by lower well maintenance
costs. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher percentage of the
managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.



   227

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to upgrades of equipment on various oil and gas properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $194,876, of which $48,899 was
distributed to the general partners and $145,977 to the limited partners. In
1999, cash distributions to the partners were $63,186, of which $15,981 was
distributed to the general partners and $47,205 to the limited partners.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its
     partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent the estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to
     sell the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
status or classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and
(2) neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership shall continue until terminated in accordance
with the applicable provisions of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 81-II (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized in
1981 under the laws of the State of Texas.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
    Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 14% to $199,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $174,048 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 4,136 barrels

                                        6

   237



of oil, 1,400 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 11,975 mcf of gas were
sold, or 7,532 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June
30, 2000, 4,547 barrels of oil, 2,406 barrels of NGLs and 6,862 mcf of gas were
sold, or 8,097 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.17, or 1%, from $27.24
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.41 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.03, or 21%, from
$14.40 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $17.43 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 127% from $2.26
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $5.12 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $128,802 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $131,843 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $3,041,
or 2%. This decrease was due to a decline in depletion, offset by increases in
general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and production costs.

Production costs were $100,899 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$99,416 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $1,483 increase, or 1%. The
increase was due to higher production taxes due to higher oil and gas prices and
additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
28% from $5,610 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $7,177 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $20,726 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$26,817 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $6,091, or 23%. This decrease
was the result of a decline in oil production of 411 barrels for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 13% to $90,934 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $104,047 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received for oil and

                                        7

   238



a decrease in production, offset by higher average prices received for gas and
NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 1,967 barrels of oil, 865
barrels of NGLs and 6,244 mcf of gas were sold, or 3,873 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 2,495 barrels of oil, 1,721 barrels of NGLs and
5,373 mcf of gas were sold, or 5,112 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.25, or 1%, from $27.16
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.91 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.13, or
16%, from $13.15 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.28 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 56% to
$3.97 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.54 during the same
period in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $62,850 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $69,367 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of
$6,517, or 9%. This decrease was due to declines in depletion, production costs
and G&A.

Production costs were $50,059 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$50,877 for the same period in 2000 resulting in an $818 decrease, or 2%. The
decrease was due to lower well maintenance costs.

During this period, G&A decreased 20%, from $3,420 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $2,729 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a lower
allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of decreased oil and gas revenues and a
decrease in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $10,062 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$15,070 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $5,008, or 33%. This decrease
was the result of a decline in oil production of 528 barrels for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $67,440 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $25,404 and a
reduction in working capital of $45,086, offset by increases in production costs
of $1,483 and G&A expenses of $1,567. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an
additional $27,593 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $2,189 resulting from 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

                                        8

   239



associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance costs
incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to
a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated
(limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas
revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's investing
activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on various oil
and gas properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$59,505, of which $15,215 was distributed to the general partners and $44,290 to
the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $42,093, of which $9,905 was distributed to
the general partners and $32,188 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each

The Partners
Parker & Parsley 81-II, Ltd.
 (A Texas Limited Partnership):

We have audited the balance sheets of Parker & Parsley 81-II, Ltd. as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners'
capital and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Parker & Parsley 81-II, Ltd. as
of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.     ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

     Parker & Parsley 81-II (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1981 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
general partners are Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA") and P&P
Employees 81-II, Ltd. ("EMPL"). The Partnership's managing general partner is
Pioneer USA.

     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.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

     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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

     Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

     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

contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and

     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
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

     Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

     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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

     Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and gas
properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a decline
in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of its
oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on proved
reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved

in the industry. As a result, the Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment
provision of $30,131 related to its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

NOTE 4.    INCOME TAXES

     The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $172,373 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

     As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net revenues
of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64 per
barrel of oil, $14.08 per barrel of NGLs and $7.91 per mcf of gas, discounted at
10% was approximately $1,416,000 and undiscounted was $2,636,000.

     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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

    The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by
applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

    Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NOTE 9.     PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

     The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of the
limited partnership agreement:

     General partners - The general partners of the Partnership are Pioneer USA
     and EMPL. Pioneer USA, the managing general partner, has the power and
     authority to manage, control and administer all Partnership affairs. As
     managing general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties, all
     production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
     Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
     received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and gas
     revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to the
     Partnership.

     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 $5,765,000.
     During 1983, the Partnership received a total of $675,000 from its limited
     partnership in response to an assessment by the managing general partner.
     The general partners are required to contribute amounts equal to 10% of
     Partnership expenditures for lease acquisition, drilling and completion and
     25% of direct, general and administrative and operating expenses.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 89% to $387,180 for 2000 as
compared to $204,717 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received and a slight increase in production. In 2000, 8,885
barrels of oil, 5,036 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 15,864 mcf of
gas were sold, or 16,565 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 6,860
barrels of oil, 6,372 barrels of NGLs and 19,167 mcf of gas were sold, or 16,427
BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.59, or 76%, from
$16.67 in 1999 to $29.26 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $6.89, or 79%, from $8.70 in 1999 to $15.59 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 69% from $1.82 in 1999 to $3.07 in 2000. 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 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $240 was recognized during 1999 from equipment
credits received on one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $249,395 as compared to $200,120
in 1999, an increase of $49,275, or 25%. The increase was primarily due to
increases in production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"),
offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $189,764 in 2000 and $140,847 in 1999, resulting in a
$48,917 increase, or 35%. The increase was primarily due to additional well
maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production and higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
40% from $9,864 in 1999 to $13,791 in 2000, primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $11,615 in 2000 and $6,142 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

Depletion was $45,840 in 2000 as compared to $49,409 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $3,569, or 7%. This decrease was primarily due to an 18,828 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices, offset by an increase in oil production of 2,025 barrels for the period
ended December 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.



   255


1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues decreased 2% to $204,717 from
$209,110 in 1998. The decrease in revenues resulted from a decline in
production, offset by higher average prices received. In 1999, 6,860 barrels of
oil, 6,372 barrels of NGLs and 19,167 mcf of gas were sold, or 16,427 BOEs. In
1998, 9,451 barrels of oil, 6,582 barrels of NGLs and 22,439 mcf of gas were
sold, or 19,773 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.51, or 27%, from
$13.16 in 1998 to $16.67 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $1.97, or 29%, from $6.73 in 1998 to $8.70 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased slightly from $1.80 in 1998 to $1.82 in 1999.

Gain on disposition of assets of $240 was recognized during 1999 from equipment
credits received on one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $200,120 as compared to $307,424
in 1998, a decrease of $107,304, or 35%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in depletion, production costs and the impairment of oil and gas
properties, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $140,847 in 1999 and $173,960 in 1998, resulting in a
$33,113 decrease, or 19%. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs, ad valorem taxes and production taxes.

During this period, G&A increased 25% from $7,867 in 1998 to $9,864 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $6,142 in
1999 and $6,273 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $30,131 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $49,409 in 1999 compared to $95,466 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $46,057, or 48%. This decrease was the result of a combination of
factors that included an increase in proved reserves of 59,807 barrels of oil
during 1999 as a result of higher commodity prices, a decline in oil production
of 2,591 barrels for the period ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same
period in 1998 and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum Industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.




   256


Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $93,061 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to increases in oil and
gas sales receipts of $183,843, offset by increases in production costs paid of
$48,917, G&A expenses paid of $3,927 and working capital of $37,938. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $65,846 to oil and gas receipts and
$117,997 resulted from an increase in production during 2000. The increase in
production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes associated with
higher oil and gas prices and well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well
production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher percentage of the
managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to upgrades of equipment on various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $690 were received during 1999 for the sale
of equipment on active properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $141,760, of which $38,944 was
distributed to the general partners and $102,816 to the limited partners. In
1999, cash distributions to the partners were $36,945, of which $9,080 was
distributed to the general partners and $27,865 to the limited partners.

     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less, liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership shall continue until terminated in accordance
with the applicable provisions of its partnership agreement.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 21% to $421,846 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $349,532 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a slight decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 9,044
barrels of oil, 2,344 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 27,831 mcf of

                                        7

   267



gas were sold, or 16,027 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months
ended June 30, 2000, 8,863 barrels of oil, 3,292 barrels of NGLs and 23,257 mcf
of gas were sold, or 16,031 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.21, or 1%, from $27.45
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.66 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.42, or 26%, from
$13.16 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.58 for the same period in
2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 76% from $2.71 during
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.77 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $224,615 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $210,469 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$14,146, or 7%. This increase was attributable to increases in production costs
and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in
depletion.

Production costs were $197,450 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$183,025 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $14,425 increase, or 8%.
This increase was due to additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate
well production and higher production taxes associated with higher oil and gas
prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
27% from $11,332 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $14,448 for the same
period in 2001 primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $12,717 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$16,112 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $3,395, or 21%. This decrease
was primarily due to positive revisions to proved reserves on two significant
wells during the period ended June 30, 2001.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 16% to $205,010 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $177,445 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs and an increase in production, offset by lower average prices received
for oil. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 4,582 barrels of oil, 1,488
barrels of NGLs and 14,557 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,496 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 4,430 barrels of oil, 1,482 barrels of NGLs and
11,022 mcf of gas were sold, or 7,749 BOEs.

                                        8

   268



The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.35, or 1%, from $27.67
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.32 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.05, or 8%, from
$13.75 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.80 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 27% from $3.13
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.97 for the same period in
2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $112,585 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $111,026 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$1,559, or 1%. This increase was due to increases in production costs and G&A,
offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $99,464 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$98,002 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $1,462 increase, or 1%. This
increase was due to higher production taxes associated with higher gas and NGL
prices and additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well
production.

During this period, G&A increased 5% from $5,969 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 to $6,272 for the same period in 2001 primarily due to a higher
allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Depletion was $6,849 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 as compared to
$7,055 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $206, or 3%. This decrease was
primarily due to positive revisions to proved reserves on two significant wells
during the period ended June 30, 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $102,881 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase of $72,398 in oil and gas sales receipts and a
reduction of $48,024 in working capital, offset by increases in production costs
of $14,425 and G&A expenses of $3,116. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an
additional $61,286 to oil and gas receipts and $11,112 resulting from an
increase in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production and increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices. The increase in G&A was primarily due
to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated
(limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas
revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principle investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2000 were related to the upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active
properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$126,808, of which $31,477 was distributed to the general partners and $95,331
to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $136,929, of which $34,201 was distributed to
the general partners and $102,728 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

   273

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1982 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA")
and its co-general partner is P&P Employees 82-I, Ltd. ("EMPL"), a Texas limited
partnership whose general partner is Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer"). As of March 8,
2001, the Partnership had 4,891 limited partnership interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA supplies all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers. Of the Partnership's total oil and
gas revenues for 2000, approximately 68% and 13% were attributable to sales made
to Plains Marketing, L.P. and GPM Gas Corporation, respectively. Pioneer USA is
of the opinion that the loss of any one purchaser would not have an adverse
effect on its ability to sell its oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas
production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.


                                       2
   274

The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that
could expose the Partnership to substantial liability due to pollution and other
environmental damages. 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.

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 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 and exploratory oil and gas
prospects located in Texas and New Mexico were acquired by the Partnership,
resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 34 oil and gas
wells. There were six dry holes from previous periods, two wells plugged and
abandoned and nine wells sold. At December 31, 2000, 17 wells were producing.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

                                     PART II

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
           DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 4,891 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 600 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, distributions of $229,765 and
$50,502, respectively, were made to the limited partners.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
           OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 73% to $763,858 for 2000 as
compared to $441,997 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 17,639
barrels of oil, 6,519 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 45,981 mcf of
gas were sold, or 31,822 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 17,472
barrels of oil, 6,414 barrels of NGLs and 48,380 mcf of gas were sold, or 31,949
BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.78, or 77%, from
$16.61 in 1999 to $29.39 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.48, or 61%, from $8.96 in 1999 to $14.44 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 69% from $1.95 in 1999 to $3.29 in 2000. 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 2000.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $431,421 as compared to $427,526
in 1999, an increase of $3,895, or 1%. The increase was due to increases in
production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a
decline in depletion.

Production costs were $378,872 in 2000 and $313,158 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $65,714, or 21%. The increase was primarily due to additional well
maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production and higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
39% from $18,932 in 1999 to $26,409 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $22,916 in 2000 and $13,260 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

Depletion was $26,140 in 2000 as compared to $95,436 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $69,296, or 73%. This decrease was primarily due to a 86,555 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 13% to $441,997 from
$392,883 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 17,472 barrels of oil,
6,414 barrels of NGLs and 48,380 mcf of gas were sold, or 31,949 BOEs. In 1998,
19,150 barrels of oil, 6,748 barrels of NGLs and 48,971 mcf of gas were sold, or
34,060 BOEs.


                                       5
   277

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.29, or 25%, from
$13.32 in 1998 to $16.61 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $1.76, or 24%, from $7.20 in 1998 to $8.96 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 7% from $1.82 in 1998 to $1.95 in 1999.

A gain on disposition of assets of $199 was recognized during 1998 from post
closing adjustments received from the sale of eight oil and gas wells during
1997.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $427,526 as compared to $961,319
in 1998, a decrease of $533,793, or 56%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production
costs, offset by an increase in G&A expenses.

Production costs were $313,158 in 1999 and $336,406 in 1998, resulting in a
$23,248 decrease, or 7%. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs and ad valorem taxes.

During this period, G&A increased 30% from $14,542 in 1998 to $18,932 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $13,260 in
1999 and $11,786 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $294,610 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $95,436 in 1999 compared to $315,761 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $220,325, or 70%. This decrease was the result of an increase in
proved reserves of 168,752 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.


Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact


                                       6
   278

on world oil prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals
on North American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price
environment and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue
during 2001, there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a
less favorable level or that field service costs will not escalate in the
future, both of which could negatively impact the Partnership's future results
of operations and cash distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $227,133 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $324,304, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $65,714, G&A expenses paid of $7,477 and working capital of $23,980. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $325,772 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $1,468 resulting from the decline in production during 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices and well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principle investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were
related to the upgrades of oil and gas equipment on various oil and gas
properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $704 in 1999 were from equipment credits
received on active properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $308,330, of which $78,565 was
distributed to the general partners and $229,765 to the limited partners. In
1999, cash distributions to the partners were $67,767, of which $17,265 was
distributed to the general partners and $50,502 to the limited partners.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1982 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
general partners are Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA") and P&P
Employees 82-I, Ltd. ("EMPL"). The Partnership's managing general partner is
Pioneer USA.

        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.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


                                       14
   286

        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.  IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $294,610 related to
its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

liabilities was $663,714 less than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.55
per barrel of oil, $13.69 per barrel of NGLs and $8.68 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $3,226,000 and undiscounted was $6,208,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

not have an adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership to sell its oil,
NGLs and gas production.


NOTE 9.  PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of
the limited partnership agreement:

        General partners - The general partners of the Partnership are Pioneer

   291
        Pioneer USA, the managing general partner, has the power and authority
        to manage, control and administer all Partnership affairs. As managing
        general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties, all
        production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
        Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
        received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and
        gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to
        the Partnership.

        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
        $9,782,000. During 1985, the Partnership received a total of $1,372,500
        from its limited partners in response to an assessment by the managing
        general partner. Additionally, $650,000 was contributed by the managing
        general partner for limited partnership interests on unpaid assessments
        of which $500,000 was paid in 1985 and $150,000 in 1986. The general
        partners are required to contribute amounts equal to 10% of Partnership
        expenditures for lease acquisition, drilling and completion and 25% of
        direct, general and administrative and operating expenses.

     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.



(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.



(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership shall continue until terminated in accordance
with the applicable provisions of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1982 under the laws of the State of Texas.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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. Certain reclassifications may
have been made to the June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June
30, 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, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
               and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 15% to $384,143 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $334,606 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decline in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 7,984 barrels

                                        7

   309




of oil, 2,949 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 22,031 mcf of gas were
sold, or 14,605 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, 8,628 barrels of oil, 3,976 barrels of NGLs and 18,498 mcf of gas
were sold, or 15,687 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.28, or 1%, from $27.51
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.79 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.52, or 26% from
$13.63 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $17.15 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 118% from $2.33
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $5.07 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $219,673 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $179,288 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$40,385, or 23%. This increase was due to increases in production costs, general
and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion.

Production costs were $184,165 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$147,258 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $36,907 increase, or 25%.
This increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production and higher production taxes associated with increased
oil and gas revenues.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
22% from $10,827 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $13,211 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $22,297 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$21,203 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,094, or 5%. This increase
was primarily due to a reduction in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil production of
644 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 2% to $172,463 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $169,196 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs, offset by lower average prices received for oil and a decrease in
production. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 3,738 barrels of oil,
1,577 barrels of NGLs and 10,439 mcf of gas were sold, or 7,055 BOEs. For the


                                        8

   310



three months ended June 30, 2000, 4,189 barrels of oil, 1,932 barrels of NGLs
and 9,347 mcf of gas were sold, or 7,679 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.34, or 1%, from $27.76
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.42 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.95, or
7%, from $14.12 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.07 for the
three months ended June 30, 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas
increased 62% to $4.43 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.74
during the same period in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $96,043 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $87,136 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$8,907, or 10%. This increase was due to increases in production costs and
depletion, offset by a decline in G&A.

Production costs were $79,225 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$72,440 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $6,785 increase, or 9%. The
increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 7% from $5,668 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 to $5,282 for the same period in 2001 due to a decrease in audit and
tax fees.

Depletion was $11,536 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$9,028 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $2,508, or 28%. This increase
was primarily due to a decline in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil production of
451 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $34,597 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period in 2000. This increase was due
to an increase of $49,156 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction of
$24,732 in working capital, offset by increases in production costs of $36,907
and G&A expenses of $2,384. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from
the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional
$66,765 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $17,609 resulting from the decline in
production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in
production costs was primarily due to additional well maintenance costs incurred
to stimulate well production and increased production taxes associated with
higher oil and gas prices. The increase in G&A was primarily due to a higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues and an
increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 were related to the upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active
properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$130,982, of which $32,806 was distributed to the general partners and $98,176
to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $180,435, of which $45,080 was distributed to
the general partners and $135,355 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

   315

                                     PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1982 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA")
and its co-general partner is P&P Employees 82-II, Ltd. ("EMPL"), a Texas
limited partnership whose general partner is Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer"). As of
March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 6,126 limited partnership interests
outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA supplies all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 70% was attributable to sales made to
Plains Marketing, L.P. Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one
purchaser would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil,
natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations. The oil and gas business is
also subject to environmental hazards such as oil spills, gas leaks and


                                       2
   316

ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that could expose the
Partnership to substantial liability due to pollution and other environmental
damages. 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.

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 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 and exploratory oil and gas
prospects located in Texas and New Mexico were acquired by the Partnership,
resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 52 oil and gas
wells. At December 31, 2000, the Partnership had 16 producing oil and gas wells.
Two wells were plugged and abandoned, five wells were dry holes and 29 wells
have been sold.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
          DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 6,126 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 772 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA has made certain commitments to purchase
partnership interests at a computed value.

Revenues which, in the sole judgement of the general partners, 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, 2000 and 1999, distributions of $270,025 and $93,647,
respectively, were made to the limited partners.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
          OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 53% to $730,936 for 2000 as
compared to $477,533 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 17,293
barrels of oil, 7,629 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 35,900 mcf of
gas were sold, or 30,905 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 17,967
barrels of oil, 9,587 barrels of NGLs and 42,858 mcf of gas were sold, or 34,697
BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.39, or 73%, from
$17.08 in 1999 to $29.47 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.21, or 53%, from $9.80 in 1999 to $15.01 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 66% from $1.79 in 1999 to $2.98 in 2000. 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 2000.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $387,226 as compared to $361,025
in 1999, an increase of $26,201, or 7%. This increase was due to increases in
production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a
decline in depletion.

Production costs were $316,735 in 2000 and $280,719 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $36,016, or 13%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
28%, from $19,626 in 1999 to $25,120 in 2000 primarily due to a higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The
Partnership paid the managing general partner $21,928 in 2000 and $14,326 in
1999 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid
directly by the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the
allocated expenses based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative
to the non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

Depletion was $45,371 in 2000 as compared to $60,680 in 1999, a decrease of
$15,309, or 25%. This decrease was primarily due to a 21,082 barrels of oil
increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 26% to $477,533 from
$379,887 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 17,967 barrels of oil,
9,587 barrels of NGLs and 42,858 mcf of gas were sold, or 34,697 BOEs. In 1998,
19,042 barrels of oil, 8,812 barrels of NGLs and 41,862 mcf of gas were sold, or



                                       5
   319

34,831 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.94, or 30%, from
$13.14 in 1998 to $17.08 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.87, or 41%, from $6.93 in 1998 to $9.80 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 9% from $1.64 in 1998 to $1.79 in 1999.

A gain on disposition of assets of $1,281 was recognized during 1998 from post
closing adjustments received from the sale of six oil and gas wells and an
overriding royalty interest in one well during 1997.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $361,025 as compared to $523,894
in 1998, a decrease of $162,869, or 31%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in depletion and the impairment of oil and gas properties, offset by
increases in production costs and G&A expenses.

Production costs were $280,719 in 1999 and $274,382 in 1998, resulting in an
increase of $6,337, or 2%. The increase was primarily due to additional well
maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production and an increase in
production taxes due to increased oil and gas revenues, offset by a decline in
ad valorem taxes.

During this period, G&A increased 45% from $13,493 in 1998 to $19,626 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $14,326 in
1999 and $11,397 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $65,229 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $60,680 in 1999 compared to $170,790 in 1998, a decrease of
$110,110, or 64%. This decrease was the result of an increase in proved reserves
of 182,544 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher commodity prices and
a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis in accordance with SFAS
121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.


Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization


                                       6
   320

of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and certain other crude oil exporting
nations announced reductions in their planned export volumes. Those
announcements, together with the enactment of the announced reductions in export
volumes, had a positive impact on world oil prices, as have overall natural gas
supply and demand fundamentals on North American natural gas prices. Although
the favorable commodity price environment and stable field service cost
environment is expected to continue during 2001, there is no assurance that
commodity prices will not return to a less favorable level or that field service
costs will not escalate in the future, both of which could negatively impact the
Partnership's future results of operations and cash distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $202,645 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $256,384, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $36,016, G&A expenses paid of $5,494 and working capital of $12,229. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $326,338 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $69,954 resulting from the decline in production during 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices and well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on several oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $422 in 1999 were from equipment credits
received on active properties. During 1998, proceeds from disposition of assets
of $153,683 were primarily from the sale of six oil and gas wells during 1997.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $361,123, of which $91,098 was
distributed to the general partners and $270,025 to the limited partners. In
1999, cash distributions to the partners were $124,365, of which $30,718 was
distributed to the general partners and $93,647 to the limited partners.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership organized in 1982 under the laws of the State of Texas. The
Partnership's general partners are Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer
USA") and P&P Employees 82-II, Ltd. ("EMPL"). The Partnership's managing general
partner is Pioneer USA.

        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. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


                                       14
   328


        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the


                                       15
   329

Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $65,229 related to its
proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES

        The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $425,788 less than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.58
per barrel of oil, $13.60 per barrel of NGLs and $8.05 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $3,222,000 and undiscounted was $6,505,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

        Western Gas Resources, Inc.           2%           5%         21%


        At December 31, 2000, the amount receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P.
was $56,201 which is included in the caption "Accounts receivable - oil and gas

NOTE 9. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of

        and administer all Partnership affairs. As managing general partner and
        operator of the Partnership's properties, all production expenses are
        incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the Partnership. The majority of
        the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are received directly by the
        Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and gas revenue is initially
        received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to the Partnership.

        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.

        subscription agreements for aggregate capital contributions of
        $12,252,000. The general partners are required to contribute amounts

     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent the estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to
     sell the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership shall continue until terminated in accordance
with the applicable provisions of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley  82-III,  Ltd.  (the  "Partnership")  is a limited  partnership
organized in 1982 under the laws of the State of Texas.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
  Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 3% to $271,996 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $263,297 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decline in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 6,884 barrels

                                        6

June 30, 2000, 7,134 barrels of oil, 3,410 barrels of NGLs and 11,409 mcf of gas
were sold, or 12,446 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased slightly from $27.90 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.93 for the same period in 2001. The
average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.72, or 22%, from $12.30
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.02 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per mcf of gas increased 123% from $1.95 during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.34 in 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $142,671 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $129,161 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$13,510, or 10%. This increase was due to increases in production costs and
general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $122,071 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$108,862 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $13,209 increase, or 12%.
The increase was due to additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate
well production and higher production taxes due to higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
14% from $8,308 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $9,433 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $11,167 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$11,991 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $824, or 7%. This decrease
was due to a decline in oil production of 250 barrels for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 3% to $130,711 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $126,967 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs, offset by a decrease in production and lower average prices received
for oil. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 3,306 barrels of oil, 1,102

                                        7

   351



barrels of NGLs and 7,207 mcf of gas were sold, or 5,609 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 3,396 barrels of oil, 1,533 barrels of NGLs and
5,105 mcf of gas were sold, or 5,780 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.96, or 3%, from $28.19
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.23 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.55, or
12%, from $12.41 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $13.96 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 47% to
$3.52 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.39 during the same
period in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $68,518 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $66,555 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$1,963, or 3%. This increase was due to higher production costs, offset by
declines in depletion and G&A.

Production costs were $59,272 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$56,857 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $2,415 increase, or 4%. The
increase was due to additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well
production and higher production taxes due to higher gas and NGL prices.

During this period, G&A decreased 5% from $4,126 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 to $3,923 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to less audit and
tax expenses.

Depletion was $5,323 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$5,572 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $249, or 4%. This decrease was
attributable to a decline in oil production of 90 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $27,143 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $8,462 and a
reduction in working capital of $33,015, offset by increases in production costs
of $13,209 and G&A expenses of $1,125. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an
additional $36,705 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $28,243 resulting from the
decline in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production and increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices. The increase in G&A was primarily due
to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated
(limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas
revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2000 were related to upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active
properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$94,281, of which $23,570 was distributed to the general partners and $70,711 to
the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $138,779, of which $33,539 was distributed to
the general partners and $105,240 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

The Partners
Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd.
  (A Texas Limited Partnership):

We have audited the balance sheets of Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd. as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners'
capital and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December

management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted

also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd.

                          (A Texas Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.     ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

     Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a Texas limited
partnership organized in 1982 under the laws of the State of Texas.  The
Partnership's general partners are Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.
("Pioneer USA") and P&P Employees 82-III, Ltd. ("EMPL"). The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer USA.

     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.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

     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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

     Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

     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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                                       7
   361

     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
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

     Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

     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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

     Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and gas
properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a decline
in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of its
oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on proved
reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved

                                       8

in the industry. As a result, the Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment
provision of $277,671 related to its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

NOTE 4.    INCOME TAXES

     The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $410,896 less than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

     As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net revenues
of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64 per
barrel of oil, $13.66 per barrel of NGLs and $7.61 per mcf of gas, discounted at
10% was approximately $2,053,000 and undiscounted was $3,888,000.

     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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

    The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by
applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

    Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

have an adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership to sell its oil, NGLs
and gas production.

NOTE 9.     PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

      The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of the
limited partnership agreement:


     General partners - The general partners of the Partnership are Pioneer USA
     and EMPL. Pioneer USA, the managing general partner, has the power and
     authority to manage, control and administer all Partnership affairs. As
     managing general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties, all
     production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
     Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
     received directly

                                       12
   366

     by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and gas
     revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to the
     Partnership.

     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 $6,882,000.
     The general partners are required to contribute amounts equal to 10% of
     Partnership expenditures for lease acquisition, drilling and completion and
     25% of direct, general and administrative and operating expenses.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 65% to $562,399 for 2000 as
compared to $340,246 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 14,019
barrels of oil, 6,627 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 21,480 mcf of
gas were sold, or 24,226 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 14,043
barrels of oil, 6,758 barrels of NGLs and 23,061 mcf of gas were sold, or 24,645
BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.54, or 73%, from
$17.13 in 1999 to $29.67 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $4.73, or 52%, from $9.13 in 1999 to $13.86 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 54% from $1.65 in 1999 to $2.54 in 2000. 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 2000.

A gain on disposition of assets of $1,922 was recognized during 1999 from
equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $264,479 as compared to $259,337
in 1999, an increase of $5,142, or 2%. The increase was primarily due to
increases in production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"),
offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $222,803 in 2000 and $198,571 in 1999, resulting in a
$24,232 increase, or 12%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
36% from $14,161 in 1999 to $19,194 in 2000, primarily due to a higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The
Partnership paid the managing general partner $16,872 in 2000 and $10,207 in
1999 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid
directly by the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the
allocated expenses based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative
to the non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

Depletion was $22,482 in 2000 as compared to $46,605 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $24,123, or 52%. This decrease primarily due to a 36,746 barrels of
oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 34% to $340,246 from
$253,873 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received and an increase in production. In 1999, 14,043 barrels of oil, 6,758
barrels of NGLs and 23,061 mcf of gas were sold, or 24,645 BOEs. In 1998, 14,727
barrels of oil, 4,813 barrels of NGLs and 17,680 mcf of gas were sold, or 22,487
BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.82, or 29%, from
$13.31 in 1998 to $17.13 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.71, or 42%, from $6.42 in 1998 to $9.13 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 8% from $1.53 in 1998 to $1.65 in 1999.

A gain on disposition of assets of $1,922 and $634 was recognized during 1999
and 1998 from salvage value received on various asset dispositions.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $259,337 as compared to $742,645
in 1998, a decrease of $483,308, or 65%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production
costs, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $198,571 in 1999 and $202,485 in 1998, resulting in a
$3,914 decrease, or 2%. The decrease was due to declines in workover costs and
ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in production taxes due to increase oil
and gas sales.

During this period, G&A increased 48% from $9,538 in 1998 to $14,161 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $10,207 in
1999 and $7,802 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $277,671 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $46,605 in 1999 compared to $252,951 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $206,346, or 82%. This decrease was the result of an increase in
proved reserves of 164,606 barrels of oil during 2000 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $190,758 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $224,339, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $24,233, G&A expenses paid of $5,032 and working capital of $4,316. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $230,886 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $6,547 resulting from the decline in production during 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance costs
incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to
higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited
to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to upgrades of equipment on various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $2,415 were recognized during 1999 from
salvage value received on disposition of equipment primarily on one oil and gas
well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $305,561, of which $74,963 was
distributed to the general partners and $230,598 to the limited partners. In
1999, cash distributions to the partners were $88,691, of which $22,103 was
distributed to the general partners and $66,588 to the limited partners.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent the estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to
     sell the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership shall continue until terminated in accordance
with the applicable provisions of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1983 under the laws of the State of Texas.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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. Certain reclassifications may
have been made to the June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June
30, 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, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 13% to $979,098 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $864,836 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 20,863 barrels

                                        7

   380



of oil, 8,678 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 52,495 mcf of gas were
sold, or 38,290 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, 21,455 barrels of oil, 11,696 barrels of NGLs and 46,838 mcf of
gas were sold, or 40,957 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased slightly from $27.55 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.56 for the same period in 2001. The
average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.36, or 17%, from $14.30
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.66 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per mcf of gas increased 118% from $2.27 during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.95 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $547,936 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $511,303 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$36,633, or 7%. This increase was due to higher production costs, general and
administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion.

Production costs were $471,641 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$443,276 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $28,365 increase, or 6%. The
increase was the primarily due to additional well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production and higher production taxes associated with higher oil
and gas prices, offset by a decline in workover expenses.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
19% from $27,789 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $33,115 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $43,180 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$40,238 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $2,942, or 7%. This increase
was primarily due to a decline in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decrease in oil production
of 592 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 5% to $471,330 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $447,770 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs, offset by a decrease in production and lower average prices received
for oil. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 10,695 barrels of oil, 5,002
barrels of NGLs and 26,788 mcf of gas were sold, or 20,162 BOEs. For the three


                                        8

   381



months ended June 30, 2000, 10,617 barrels of oil, 6,110 barrels of NGLs and
23,850 mcf of gas were sold, or 20,702 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.58, or 2%, from $27.66
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.08 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.48, or 3%, from $14.40
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.88 for the same period in
2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 44% to $4.00 for the
three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.77 for the same period in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $276,518 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $260,463 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$16,055, or 6%. This increase was due to higher production costs and depletion,
offset by a decline in G&A.

Production costs were $239,495 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$226,945 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $12,550 increase, or 6%.
This increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance expense incurred
to stimulate well production, offset by a decline in workover expenses.

During this period, G&A decreased 3% from $14,886 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $14,392 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to lower
audit and tax expenses.

Depletion was $22,631 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$18,632 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $3,999, or 21%. This
increase was primarily due to a decline in proved reserves during the period
ended June 30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices and an increase in oil
production of 78 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $157,804 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period in 2000. This increase was due
to an increase of $115,094 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction of
$76,401 in working capital, offset by increases in production costs of $28,365
and G&A expenses of $5,326. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from
the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional
$152,860 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $37,766 resulting from the decline
in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase
in production costs was primarily due to additional well maintenance costs
incurred to stimulate well production and increased production taxes associated
with higher oil and gas prices, offset by a decline in workover expenses. The
increase in G&A was primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investment activities during the six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 were related to expenditures for equipment upgrades on active oil
and gas properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$314,727, of which $79,839 was distributed to the general partners and $234,888
to the limited partners. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $373,589, of which $90,377 was distributed to
the general partners and $283,212 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.         BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1983 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA")
and its co-general partner is P&P Employees 83-A, Ltd. ("EMPL"), a Texas limited
partnership whose general partner is Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer"). As of March 8,
2001, the Partnership had 19,505 limited partnership interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA is responsible for all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 53% was attributable to sales made to
Plains Marketing, L.P. Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one
purchaser would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil,
natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations. The oil and gas business is
also subject to environmental hazards such as oil spills, gas leaks and ruptures
and discharges of toxic substances or gases that could expose the Partnership to
substantial liability due to pollution and other environmental damages. Although
the Partnership believes that



                                       2
   387


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.

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 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
primarily in the Spraberry Trend Area of West Texas were acquired by the
Partnership, resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 69
oil and gas wells. Two wells were dry holes from previous periods, 22 wells have
been sold and three wells have been plugged and abandoned due to unprofitable
operations. At December 31, 2000, 42 wells were producing.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.         LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.         SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

ITEM 5.         MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 19,505 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 1,273 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, distributions of $659,311 and
$181,573, respectively, were made to the limited partners.

ITEM 7.         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 64% to $1,929,701 for 2000 as
compared to $1,176,562 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 43,334
barrels of oil, 23,345 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 94,612 mcf of
gas were sold, or 82,448 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 43,654
barrels of oil, 25,584 barrels of NGLs and 109,716 mcf of gas were sold, or
87,524 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.58, or 74%, from
$16.96 in 1999 to $29.54 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $6.16, or 65%, from $9.42 in 1999 to $15.58 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 70% from $1.78 in 1999 to $3.02 in 2000. 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 2000.

A gain on disposition of assets of $1,801 recognized during 1999 was related to
equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $1,014,313 as compared to $955,718
in 1999, an increase of $58,595, or 6%. The increase was primarily due to
increases in production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"),
offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $867,551 in 2000 and $756,020 in 1999, resulting in a
$111,531 increase, or 15%. The increase 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.

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 39% from $47,303 in 1999 to $65,724 in 2000 primarily due
to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated
(limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas
revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $57,891 in 2000 and
$35,297 in 1999 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A
was paid directly by the Partnership. The managing general partner determines
the allocated expenses based upon the level of activity of the Partnership
relative to the non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The
method of allocation has been consistent over the past several years with
certain modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall
business activities.



                                       5
   390


Depletion was $81,038 in 2000 as compared to $152,395 in 1999. This represented
a decrease of $71,357, or 47%. The decrease was primarily due to a 129,265
barrels of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher
commodity prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 29% to $1,176,562 from
$910,252 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received and an increase in production from 1998 to 1999. In 1999, 43,654
barrels of oil, 25,584 barrels of NGLs and 109,716 mcf of gas were sold, or
87,524 BOEs. In 1998, 46,586 barrels of oil, 21,026 barrels of NGLs and 95,156
mcf of gas were sold, or 83,471 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.62, or 27%, from
$13.34 in 1998 to $16.96 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.93, or 45%, from $6.49 in 1998 to $9.42 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 11% from $1.60 in 1998 to $1.78 in 1999.

A gain on disposition of assets of $1,801 recognized during 1999 was related to
equipment credits received on one fully depleted well while the $3,702 gain
recognized during 1998 was from final closing adjustments from the sale during
1997 of 16 oil and gas wells.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $955,718 as compared to $1,715,723
in 1998, a decrease of $760,005, or 44%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties and depletion, offset by
increases in production costs and G&A expenses.

Production costs were $756,020 in 1999 and $731,005 in 1998, resulting in a
$25,015 increase, or 3%. The increase was attributable to additional well
maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production and production taxes due
to increased oil and gas revenues, offset by a decline in ad valorem taxes.

During this period, G&A increased 43% from $33,000 in 1998 to $47,303 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $35,297 in
1999 and $27,308 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $430,351 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $152,395 in 1999 compared to $521,367 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $368,972, or 71%. The decrease was the result of an increase in
proved reserves of 416,430 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $620,642 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $760,015, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $111,531, G&A expenses paid of $18,421 and working capital of $9,421. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $849,987 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $89,973 resulting from the decline in production during 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. The increase in G&A was
primarily due to higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions in 1999 of $2,611 were from equipment credits
received on active wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $887,776, of which $228,465 was
distributed to the general partners and $659,311 to the limited partners. In
1999, cash distributions to the partners were $245,794, of which $64,221 was
distributed to the general partners and $181,573 to the limited partners.

The Partners
Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd.
 (A Texas Limited Partnership):

We have audited the balance sheets of Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd. as of December
31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd. as
of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.         ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1983 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
general partners are Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA") and P&P
Employees 83-A, Ltd. ("EMPL"). The Partnership's managing general partner is
Pioneer USA.

        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.         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants. The
carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



                                       14
   399


        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.         IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of

$430,351 related to its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

NOTE 4.         INCOME TAXES

        The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $1,081,971 less than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.61
per barrel

of oil, $13.13 per barrel of NGLs and $7.87 per mcf of gas, discounted at 10%
was approximately $7,532,000 and undiscounted was $14,892,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

----------
(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent the estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to
     sell the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership shall continue until terminated in accordance
with the applicable provisions of its partnership agreement.

Note 2.     Basis of presentation

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements of the
Partnership as of June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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

of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
               and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 1% to $1,086,570 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $1,095,887 for the same period in
2000. The decrease in revenues resulted from a decline in production and lower
average prices received for oil, offset by higher average prices received for
gas and NGLs. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 23,078 barrels of oil,

                                        7

2000, 25,927 barrels of oil, 16,013 barrels of NGLs and 70,252 mcf of gas were

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.15, or 1%, from $27.78
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.63 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.54, or 18%, from
$14.10 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.64 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 125% from $2.13
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.80 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

A gain on disposition of assets of $10,923 was recognized during the six months
ended June 30, 2001 from salvage income received on a well that was plugged and
abandoned in the prior year. A gain of $5,351 was recognized during the same
period ended June 30, 2000 from equipment credits received on a fully depleted
well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $673,377 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $567,246 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$106,131, or 19%. This increase resulted from higher production costs and
general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $584,983 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$480,127 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $104,856 increase, or 22%.
The increase was primarily due to additional workover and well maintenance costs
incurred to stimulate production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
5% from $34,788 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $36,427 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to increased audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $51,967 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$52,331 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $364, or 1%. This decrease
was primarily due to 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 2000 and a
decline in oil production of 2,849 barrels for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 5% to $519,120 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $545,418 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decline in production and lower average
prices received for oil, offset by higher average prices received for gas and
NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 12,473 barrels of oil, 5,587
barrels of NGLs and 26,602 mcf of gas were sold, or 22,494 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 12,194 barrels of oil, 7,964 barrels of NGLs and
34,873 mcf of gas were sold, or 25,970 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.92, or 3%, from $27.91
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.99 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased slightly
from $14.72 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.76 for the same
period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 49% from
$2.52 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.76 for the same period
in 2001.

A gain on disposition of assets of $10,923 was recognized during the three
months ended June 30, 2001 from salvage income received on a well that was
plugged and abandoned in the prior year. A gain of $1,428 was recognized during
the same period ended June 30, 2000 from equipment credits received on a fully
depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $349,935 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $287,547 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$62,388, or 22%. This increase was due to higher production costs and depletion,
offset by a decline in G&A.

Production costs were $306,551 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$247,177 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $59,374 increase, or 24%.
This increase was primarily due to additional workover and well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate production.

During this period, G&A decreased 11% from $17,899 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $15,891 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to decreased
audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $27,493 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$22,471 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $5,022, or 22%. This
increase was primarily due to a reduction in proved reserves for the period
ended June 30, 2000 due to lower commodity prices and an increase in oil
production of 279 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to
the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $21,840 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period in 2000. This increase was due
to a reduction of $138,801 in working capital, offset by increases in production
costs of $104,856 and G&A expenses of $1,639 and a decline of $10,466 in oil and
gas sales receipts. The decrease in oil and gas receipts resulted from a decline
of $233,580 in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000 and
a decline in oil prices of $3,664, offset by an increase in gas and NGL prices
of $226,778 during 2001. The increase in production costs was primarily due to
additional workover and well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well
production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to increased audit and tax
fees.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 were for expenditures related to oil and gas equipment upgrades on
active properties.

Proceeds from asset disposition of $10,923 and $5,358 were received during the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The proceeds received
during the period in 2001 were due to salvage income received on a well plugged
and abandoned in the prior year. The proceeds received during the period in 2000
were for equipment credits on active properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$349,414, of which $90,005 was distributed to the general partners and $259,409
to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $574,504, of which $144,738 was distributed
to the general partners and $429,766 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships

ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.



   430


                                     PART I

ITEM 1.         BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 83-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1983 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA")
and its co-general partner is P&P Employees 83-B, Ltd. ("EMPL"), a Texas limited
partnership whose general partner is Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer"). As of March 8,
2001, the Partnership had 23,370 limited partnership interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA is responsible for all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 46%, 13% and 10% were attributable to
sales made to Plains Marketing, L.P., TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC and Phillips
Petroleum Company, respectively. Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of
any one purchaser would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its
oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations. The oil and gas business is
also subject to environmental hazards such as oil spills, gas leaks and ruptures
and discharges of toxic substances or gases that could expose the Partnership to
substantial liability due to pollution and other environmental damages. Although
the Partnership believes that



                                       2
   431


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.

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 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
primarily in Texas were acquired by the Partnership, resulting in the
Partnership's participation in the drilling of 59 productive oil and gas wells.
At December 31, 2000, the Partnership had 41 producing wells. Thirteen wells
have been plugged and abandoned due to unprofitable operations and five wells
were sold.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.         LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.         SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

                                     PART II


ITEM 5.         MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 23,370 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 1,379 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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

ITEM 7.         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 54% to $2,376,791 for 2000 as
compared to $1,548,013 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 51,895
barrels of oil, 29,919 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 132,106 mcf
of gas were sold, or 103,832 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 54,446
barrels of oil, 35,000 barrels of NGLs and 157,842 mcf of gas were sold, or
115,753 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in
the future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.51, or 73%, from
$17.18 in 1999 to $29.69 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.47, or 55%, from $10.00 in 1999 to $15.47 in 2000. The average
price received per mcf of gas increased 70% from $1.66 in 1999 to $2.83 in 2000.
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 2000.

A gain on disposition of assets of $7,482 during 2000 was due to salvage income
received on one well plugged and abandoned during the current year. A gain of
$3,375 during 1999 was recognized from equipment credits received on one fully
depleted well.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 2000 to $1,230,645 as compared to
$1,270,634 in 1999, a decrease of $39,989, or 3%. The decrease was primarily due
to declines in depletion and the impairment of oil and gas properties, offset by
increases in production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $947,439 in 2000 and $879,335 in 1999, resulting in a
$68,104 increase, or 8%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees, and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
35% from $58,993 in 1999 to $79,646 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $71,304 in 2000 and $46,440 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized
non-cash charges of $84,697 and $152,505 related to its oil and gas properties
during 2000 and 1999, respectively.



                                       5
   434


Depletion was $106,841 in 2000 as compared to $179,801 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $72,960, or 41%. This decrease was primarily due to a 115,324
barrels of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1999.

Abandoned property costs of $12,022 during 2000 was related to the plugging and
abandonment of one well during the current year.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 22% to $1,548,013 from
$1,267,241 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 54,446 barrels of oil,
35,000 barrels of NGLs and 157,842 mcf of gas were sold, or 115,753 BOEs. In
1998, 62,162 barrels of oil, 31,533 barrels of NGLs and 147,495 mcf of gas were
sold, or 118,278 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.88, or 29%, from
$13.30 in 1998 to $17.18 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $3.21, or 47%, from $6.79 in 1998 to $10.00 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 8% from $1.54 in 1998 to $1.66 in 1999.

A gain on disposition of assets of $3,375 during 1999 was recognized from
equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. During 1998, a gain on
disposition of assets of $157 was recognized from post closing adjustments
received from the sale of two oil and gas wells and an overriding royalty
interest on one well during 1997.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $1,270,634 as compared to
$2,152,425 in 1998, a decrease of $881,791, or 41%. The decrease was primarily
due to declines in depletion, the impairment of oil and gas properties and
production costs, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $879,335 in 1999 and $978,080 in 1998, resulting in a
$98,745 decrease, or 10%. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in production taxes due to an
increase in oil and gas revenues.


During this period, G&A increased 36% from $43,488 in 1998 to $58,993 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $46,440 in
1999 and $38,017 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized non-cash SFAS 121 charges of $152,505 and $362,325
related to its oil and gas properties during 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Depletion was $179,801 in 1999 compared to $768,532 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $588,731, or 77%. This decrease was the result of a combination of
factors that included an increase in proved reserves of 430,250 barrels of oil
during 1999 as a result of higher commodity prices, a reduction in the
Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with



                                       6
   435


SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998 and a decline in oil production of
7,716 barrels for the period ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period
in 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $733,136 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $838,001, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $68,104, G&A expenses paid of $20,653, $12,022 in abandoned property costs
paid and working capital of $4,086. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2000 which contributed an
additional $1,065,062 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $227,061 resulting from
the decline in production during 2000. The increase in production costs was
primarily due to increased production taxes associated with higher oil and gas
prices. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher percentage of the
managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were for
expenditures related to oil and gas equipment upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $7,482 recognized during 2000 were related
to salvage income received on one well plugged and abandoned during the current
year. Proceeds of $3,845 recognized during 1999 were primarily from equipment
credits received on one fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $1,260,369, of which $317,681
was distributed to the general partners and $942,688 to the limited partners. In
1999, cash distributions to the partners were $438,977, of which $113,074 was
distributed to the general partners and $325,903 to the limited partners.

                          (A Texas Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1.         ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 83-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1983 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
general partners are Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA") and P&P
Employees 83-B, Ltd. ("EMPL"). The Partnership's managing general partner is
Pioneer USA.

        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.         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants. The
carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Net income (loss) per limited partnership interest - The net income
(loss) per limited



                                       14
   443


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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non- partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.         IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $84,697, $152,505 and
$362,325 related to its proved oil and gas properties during 2000, 1999 and
1998,



                                       15
   444


respectively.

NOTE 4.         INCOME TAXES

        The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $1,137,401 less than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

        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
ended December 31:

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, 2000, 1999 and 1998 and
changes in such quantities during the years then ended. All of the Partnership's
reserves are proved developed and located within the United States. The
Partnership's reserves are based on an evaluation prepared by Williamson
Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent petroleum consultant, using criteria
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.32 per barrel of NGLs and $7.73 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $9,555,000 and undiscounted was $18,817,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its
     partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2) (A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent the estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to
     sell the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership shall continue until terminated in accordance
with the applicable provisions of its partnership agreement.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1984 under the laws of the State of Texas.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
             and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 3% to $1,110,822 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $1,082,369 for the same period in
2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for
gas and NGLs, offset by a decrease in production and lower average prices

                                        7

   466



received for oil. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 26,035 barrels of oil,
12,266 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 57,564 mcf of gas were sold,
or 47,895 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30,
2000, 26,759 barrels of oil, 16,307 barrels of NGLs and 68,163 mcf of gas were
sold, or 54,427 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.61, or 2%, from $27.63
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.02 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.95, or 7%, from $13.27
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.22 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per mcf of gas increased 117% from $1.86 during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.04 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $603,950 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $557,731 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$46,219, or 8%. This increase was primarily due to increases in production costs
and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in
depletion.

Production costs were $509,980 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$464,779 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $45,201 increase, or 10%.
The increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover costs
incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
8% from $34,139 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $36,760 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $57,210 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$58,813 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $1,603, or 3%. This decrease
was the result of a decline in oil production of 724 barrels for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 13% to $476,179 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $549,309 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decrease in production and lower
average prices received for oil and NGLs, offset by higher average prices
received for gas. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 12,406 barrels of
oil, 5,875 barrels of NGLs and 24,014 mcf of gas were sold, or 22,283 BOEs. For


                                        8

   467



the three months ended June 30, 2000, 13,188 barrels of oil, 8,087 barrels of
NGLs and 33,092 mcf of gas were sold, or 26,790 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.78, or 3%, from $27.65
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.87 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased $1.77, or
13%, from $13.84 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $12.07 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 36% to
$2.99 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.20 for the same period in
2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $304,833 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $290,116 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$14,717, or 5%. This increase was primarily due to increases in production costs
and depletion, offset by a decline in G&A.

Production costs were $261,190 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$245,145 for the same period in 2000 resulting in an increase of $16,045, or 7%.
The increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover costs
incurred to stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 27% from $19,804 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $14,541 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a lower
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of decreased oil and gas revenues and a
decrease in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $29,102 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$25,167 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $3,935, or 16%. This
increase was the result of a reduction in revisions to proved reserves during
the period ended June 30, 2001 as a result of lower commodity prices, offset by
a decline in oil production of 782 barrels for the three months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $116,462 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase of $28,821 in oil and gas sales receipts and a
reduction in working capital of $135,463, offset by increases in production
costs of $45,201 and G&A expenses of $2,621. The increase in oil and gas
receipts resulted from the increase in gas and NGL prices of $164,517 during
2001, offset by $119,533 resulting from the decline in production and a $16,163
decline resulting from lower oil prices during 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to additional
well maintenance and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production. The
increase in G&A was primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 were for expenditures related to oil and gas equipment
upgrades on active properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$373,828, of which $94,450 was distributed to the general partners and $279,378
to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $507,986, of which $129,953 was distributed
to the general partners and $378,033 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.        BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1984 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA")
and its co-general partner is P&P Employees 84-A, Ltd. ("EMPL"), a Texas limited
partnership whose general partner is Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer"). As of March 8,
2001, the Partnership had 19,435 limited partnership interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA supplies all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers. Of the Partnership's total oil and
gas revenues for 2000, approximately 35%, 17% and 10% were attributable to sales
made to Plains Marketing, L.P., TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC and NGTS LLC, respectively.
Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one purchaser would not have
an adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs")
and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations. The oil and gas business is
also subject to environmental hazards such as oil spills, gas leaks and ruptures
and discharges of toxic substances or gases that could expose the Partnership to
substantial




                                       2
   473

liability due to pollution and other environmental damages. 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.

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 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 and exploratory oil and gas
prospects located primarily in the Spraberry Trend Area of West Texas were
acquired by the Partnership, resulting in the Partnership's participation in the
drilling of 42 oil and gas wells. At December 31, 2000, 38 wells were producing
and four wells had been plugged and abandoned due to unprofitable operations.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.        LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.        SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

ITEM 5.        MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                 DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 19,435 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 1,268 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, distributions of $872,006 and
$293,145, respectively, were made to the limited partners.

ITEM 7.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 65% to $2,348,261 for 2000 as
compared to $1,419,376 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 51,863
barrels of oil, 33,622 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 138,617 mcf
of gas were sold, or 108,588 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 50,064
barrels of oil, 35,804 barrels of NGLs and 154,235 mcf of gas were sold, or
111,574 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in
the future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.19, or 70%, from
$17.36 in 1999 to $29.55 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $4.97, or 55%, from $9.03 in 1999 to $14.00 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 69% from $1.47 in 1999 to $2.49 in 2000. The
market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade and
management expects a certain amount of volatility 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 2000.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $1,124,923 as compared to
$1,088,550 in 1999, an increase of $36,373, or 3%. The increase was primarily
due to increases in production costs and general and administrative expenses
("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $937,743 in 2000 and $859,602 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $78,141 or 9%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and workover costs incurred to
stimulate well production, offset by lower well maintenance costs.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
45% from $53,481 in 1999 to $77,459 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $70,448 in 2000 and $42,581 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.



                                       5
   476



Depletion was $109,721 in 2000 as compared to $175,467 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $65,746, or 37%. This decrease was primarily due to a 150,475
barrels of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher
commodity prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 26% to $1,419,376 from
$1,124,134 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 50,064 barrels of oil,
35,804 barrels of NGLs and 154,235 mcf of gas were sold, or 111,574 BOEs. In
1998, 54,153 barrels of oil, 34,549 barrels of NGLs and 145,870 mcf of gas were
sold, or 113,014 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $4.06, or 31%, from
$13.30 in 1998 to $17.36 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.95, or 49%, from $6.08 in 1998 to $9.03 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 11% from $1.33 in 1998 to $1.47 in 1999.

A gain on disposition of assets of $2,100 was recognized during 1998 from the
sale of equipment on one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $1,088,550 as compared to
$2,059,738 in 1998, a decrease of $971,188, or 47%. The decrease was primarily
due to declines in depletion, the impairment of oil and gas properties and
production costs, offset by an increase in G&A expenses.

Production costs were $859,602 in 1999 and $865,247 in 1998, resulting in a
$5,645 decrease. The decrease was due to declines in workover costs and ad
valorem taxes, offset by increases in well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production and in production taxes due to increased oil and gas
revenues.

During this period, G&A increased 39% from $38,385 in 1998 to $53,481 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $42,581 in
1999 and $33,724 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $425,668 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $175,467 in 1999 compared to $730,438 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $554,971, or 76%. This decrease was the result of an increase in
proved reserves of 445,239 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $852,554 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $936,985 and a decline in working capital of $17,688,
offset by increases in production costs paid of $78,141 and G&A expenses paid of
$23,978. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in
commodity prices during 2000 which contributed an additional $953,265 to oil and
gas receipts, offset by $16,280 resulting from the decline in production during
2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and workover costs incurred to
stimulate well production, offset by lower well maintenance costs. The increase
in G&A was primarily due to higher percentage of the managing general partner's
G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of
increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were related to
expenditures for equipment upgrades on various oil and gas properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $1,173,468, of which $301,462
was distributed to the general partners and $872,006 to the limited partners. In
1999, cash distributions to the partners were $392,295, of which $99,150 was
distributed to the general partners and $293,145 to the limited partners.

The Partners
Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd.
  (A Texas Limited Partnership):

We have audited the balance sheets of Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd. as of December
31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd. as
of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

        Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1984 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
general partners are Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA") and P&P
Employees 84-A, Ltd. ("EMPL"). The Partnership's managing general partner is
Pioneer USA.

        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.        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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



                                       14
   485

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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.        IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and gas
properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a decline
in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of its
oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on proved
reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $425,668 related to
its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.02 per barrel of NGLs and $7.45 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $10,236,000 and undiscounted was
$20,832,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its
     partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent the estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to
     sell the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2035, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.      Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 85-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1985 under the laws of the State of Texas.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 8% to $382,756 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $353,329 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs, offset by a decrease in production and lower average prices received
for oil. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 8,134 barrels of oil, 3,588

                                        7

   508



barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 21,052 mcf of gas were sold, or
15,231 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30,
2000, 8,535 barrels of oil, 5,502 barrels of NGLs and 21,614 mcf of gas were
sold, or 17,639 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.07 from $27.78 for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.71 for the same period in 2001. The
average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.89, or 22%, from $13.12
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.01 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per mcf of gas increased 133% from $2.04 during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.75 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 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 six months ended June 30,
2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $213,986 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $195,186 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$18,800, or 10%. This increase was due to increases in production costs,
depletion and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $184,949 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$168,879 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $16,070, or 10%. The
increase was primarily due to an increase in workover costs incurred to
stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
8% from $10,600 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $11,483 for the same
period in 2001 primarily due to an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $17,554 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$15,707 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,847, or 12%. This
increase was primarily due to a reduction in proved reserves for the period
ended June 30, 2001 as a result of lower commodity prices.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 5% to $165,950 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001, as compared to $174,901 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received for oil and
NGLs and a decline in production, offset by higher average prices received for
gas. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 4,100 barrels of oil, 1,570
barrels of NGLs and 8,687 mcf of gas were sold, or 7,118 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 4,084 barrels of oil, 2,518 barrels of NGLs and
9,802 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,236 BOEs.

                                        8

   509




The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $1.03, or 4%, from $28.18
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.15 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased $.40, or 3%, from $14.26
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $13.86 for the same period in
2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 55% from $2.44 during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.79 for the same period in 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $113,723 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $89,295 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$24,428, or 27%. This increase was due to an increase in production costs and
depletion, offset by a decline in G&A.

Production costs were $99,647 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$76,933 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $22,714, or 30%. The
increase was primarily due to higher workover and well maintenance costs
incurred to stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 5% from $5,247 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 to $4,979 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a decline in
audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $9,097 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$7,115 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,982, or 28%. This increase
was primarily due to a reduction in proved reserves for the period ended June
30, 2001 as a result of lower commodity prices.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $54,624 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was primarily due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of
$29,396 and a reduction in working capital of $42,181, offset by increases in
production costs of $16,070 and G&A expenses of $883. The increase in oil and
gas receipts resulted from the increase in gas and NGL prices of $74,394 during
2001, offset by a decline of $44,449 in production and a $549 decline resulting
from lower oil prices during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to an increase in workover costs
incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to
an increase in audit and tax fees.

$131,702 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $178,266, of which $1,783 was distributed to

holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.        BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 85-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1985 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").
Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 9,613 limited partnership
interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA is responsible for all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers. Of the Partnership's total oil and
gas revenues for 2000, approximately 57% was attributable to sales made to
Plains Marketing, L.P. Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one
purchaser would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil,
natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.
The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that
could expose the Partnership to substantial liability due to pollution and other
environmental damages. Although the Partnership believes that its business
operations do not impair environmental quality and that its costs of complying
with any



                                       2
   515



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.

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 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
primarily in the Spraberry Trend Area of West Texas were acquired by the
Partnership, resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 25
productive oil and gas wells. At December 31, 2000, 21 wells were producing with
four wells sold during 1996.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.        SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter 2000.

ITEM 5.        MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                 DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 9,613 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 820 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, distributions of $372,121 and
$161,988 respectively, were made to the limited partners.

ITEM 7.        MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 44% to $757,929 for 2000 as
compared to $526,325 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production from 1999 to 2000. In
2000, 16,975 barrels of oil, 10,483 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and
41,549 mcf of gas were sold, or 34,383 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In
1999, 17,451 barrels of oil, 13,795 barrels of NGLs and 55,226 mcf of gas were
sold, or 40,450 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's
oil and gas properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in
production in the future until the Partnership's economically recoverable
reserves are fully depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.27, or 72%, from
$17.11 in 1999 to $29.38 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $4.49, or 46%, from $9.71 in 1999 to $14.20 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 56% from $1.70 in 1999 to $2.66 in 2000. The
market price received for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past
decade and management expects a certain amount of volatility 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 2000.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $386,863 as compared to $350,830
in 1999, an increase of $36,033, or 10%. The increase was primarily due to
increases in production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"),
offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $331,978 in 2000 and $284,086 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $47,892, or 17%. The increase was primarily due to additional well
maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production and higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
44% from $15,790 in 1999 to $22,738 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $19,018 in 2000 and $9,794 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

Depletion was $32,147 in 2000 as compared to $50,954 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $18,807, or 37%. This decrease was primarily due to a 17,541 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.

1999 compared to 1998

                                       5
   518

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 42% to $526,325 from
$371,098 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received and an increase in production from 1998 to 1999. In 1999, 17,451
barrels of oil, 13,795 barrels of NGLs and 55,226 mcf of gas were sold, or
40,450 BOEs. In 1998, 18,178 barrels of oil, 9,630 barrels of NGLs and 43,021
mcf of gas were sold, or 34,978 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.84, or 29%, from
$13.27 in 1998 to $17.11 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $3.20, or 49%, from $6.51 in 1998 to $9.71 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 9% from $1.56 in 1998 to $1.70 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $350,830 as compared to $649,476
in 1998, a decrease of $298,646, or 46%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in depletion, the impairment of oil and gas properties and production
costs, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $284,086 in 1999 and $304,333 in 1998, resulting in a
decrease of $20,247, or 7%. The decrease was the combination of declines in well
maintenance costs and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in production
taxes due to an increase in oil and gas revenues.

During this period, G&A increased 42% from $11,133 in 1998 to $15,790 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $9,794 in
1999 and $8,231 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $22,031 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $50,954 in 1999 compared to $311,979 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $261,025, or 84%. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in
proved reserves of 182,664 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas

prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment and stable field
service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001, there is no
assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable level or
that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which could
negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $172,932 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $234,104, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $47,892, G&A expenses paid of $6,948 and working capital of $6,332. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $331,444 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $97,340 resulting from the decline in production during 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices and well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were related to
expenditures for equipment upgrades on various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $2,454 and $279 were recognized in 2000 and
1999, respectively. Proceeds during 2000 of $2,205 were from salvage income
received on one fully depleted well and $249 from equipment credits received on
an active property. Proceeds during 1999 of $279 were from equipment credits
received on active properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $375,880, of which $3,759 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $372,121 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $163,624, of which
$1,636 was distributed to the managing general partner and $161,988 to the
limited partners.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Parker & Parsley 85-A, Ltd. as

                                (A Texas Limited Partnership)

                                NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1.        ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 85-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1985 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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.        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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.



                                       14
   527

        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.        IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $22,031 related to its
proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.51 per barrel of NGLs and $7.67 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $2,812,000 and undiscounted was $5,248,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2035, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.95 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.56, or 18%, from
$14.29 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.85 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 126% from $2.23
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $5.05 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $174,408 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $172,611 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,797,
or 1%. This increase was due to increases in depletion and general and
administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decrease in production costs.

Production costs were $132,743 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$136,410 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $3,667, or 3%. The decrease
was primarily due to lower well maintenance costs, offset by an increase in
workover expense incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
17% from $8,283 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $9,706 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in audit and tax fees and a higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Depletion was $31,959 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$27,918 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $4,041, or 14%. This
increase was primarily due to a reduction in proved reserves due to lower
commodity prices during the period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 3% to $144,439 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $140,791 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs, offset by a decrease in production and lower average prices received
for oil. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 3,236 barrels of oil, 1,626
barrels of NGLs and 7,667 mcf of gas were sold, or 6,140 BOEs. For the three


                                        8

   551



months ended June 30, 2000, 3,454 barrels of oil, 1,618 barrels of NGLs and
7,403 mcf of gas were sold, or 6,306 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $1.58, or 6%, from $28.52
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.94 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.95, or 7%, from $14.18
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.13 for the same period in
2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 63% from $2.61 during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.26 for the same period in 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $93,239 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $97,321 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of
$4,082, or 4%. This decrease was due to a decrease in production costs, offset
by increases in depletion and G&A.

Production costs were $71,567 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$79,043 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $7,476, or 9%. The decrease
was primarily due to lower well maintenance costs, offset by an increase in
workover expenses incurred to stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A increased 3% from $4,223 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 to $4,333 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Depletion was $17,339 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$14,055 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $3,284, or 23%. This
increase was primarily due to a reduction in proved reserves due to lower
commodity prices during the period ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $71,180 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase of $47,505 in oil and gas sales receipts and
reductions in working capital of $21,431 and production costs of $3,667, offset
by an increase in G&A expenses of $1,423. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in gas and NGL prices of $49,771 and $6,054 resulting
from an increase in gas production during 2001, offset by $4,032 resulting from
the decline in oil and NGL production and a $4,288 decline resulting from lower
oil prices during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The decrease in
production costs was due to lower well maintenance costs, offset by an increase
in workover expenses incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A
was primarily due to an increase in audit and tax fees and a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active
properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $6,412 were received during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 from equipment credits received on active properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$125,339, of which $1,253 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$124,086 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $137,064, of which $1,371 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $135,693 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when

                                       10

filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 85-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1985 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").
Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 7,988 limited partnership
interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA supplies all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers. Of the Partnership's total oil and
gas revenues for 2000, approximately 48%, 20% and 10% were attributable to sales
made to Mobil Oil Corporation, Plains Marketing, L.P. and NGTS LLC,
respectively. Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one purchaser
would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil, natural gas
liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations. The oil and gas business is
also subject to environmental hazards such as oil spills, gas leaks and ruptures
and discharges of toxic substances or gases that could expose the Partnership to
substantial


                                       2
   557



liability due to pollution and other environmental damages. 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.

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 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
primarily in the Spraberry Trend Area of West Texas were acquired by the
Partnership, resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 22
productive oil and gas wells. One well was converted to a saltwater disposal
well during 1987 and four wells have been plugged and abandoned. At December 31,
2000, the Partnership had 17 producing wells.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.      SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

                                     PART II

ITEM 5.      MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
             DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 7,988 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 717 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, distributions of $309,279 and
$115,631, respectively, were made to the limited partners.

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 60% to $619,365 for 2000 as
compared to $387,551 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 14,002
barrels of oil, 6,807 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 30,909 mcf of
gas were sold, or 25,961 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 14,280
barrels of oil, 7,130 barrels of NGLs and 33,467 mcf of gas were sold, or 26,988
BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $11.95, or 66%, from
$18.07 in 1999 to $30.02 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.86, or 58%, from $10.10 in 1999 to $15.96 in 2000. The average
price received per mcf of gas increased 70% from $1.72 in 1999 to $2.92 in 2000.
The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade
and management expects a certain amount of volatility 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 2000.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 2000 to $347,682 as compared to $404,907
in 1999, a decrease of $57,225, or 14%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties and depletion, offset by
increases in production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $264,543 in 2000 and $207,744 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $56,799, or 27%. The increase was primarily due to additional well
maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production and higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
60% from $11,626 in 1999 to $18,581 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $15,555 in 2000 and $6,624 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized
non-cash charges of $10,050 and $95,253 related to its oil and gas properties
during 2000 and 1999, respectively.

   560

Depletion was $54,508 in 2000 as compared to $90,284 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $35,776, or 40%. This decrease was primarily due to a 17,204 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from charges
taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1999.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 14% to $387,551 from
$341,048 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 14,280 barrels of oil,
7,130 barrels of NGLs and 33,467 mcf of gas were sold, or 26,988 BOEs. In 1998,
16,204 barrels of oil, 8,599 barrels of NGLs and 41,501 mcf of gas were sold, or
31,720 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $4.77, or 36%, from
$13.30 in 1998 to $18.07 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $3.15, or 45%, from $6.95 in 1998 to $10.10 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 9% from $1.58 in 1998 to $1.72 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $404,907 as compared to $462,704
in 1998, a decrease of $57,797, or 12%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in production costs and depletion, offset by increases in the
impairment of oil and gas properties and G&A.

Production costs were $207,744 in 1999 and $269,093 in 1998, resulting in a
$61,349 decrease, or 23%. The decrease was attributable to less well maintenance
costs and ad valorem taxes.

During this period, G&A increased, in aggregate, 14% from $10,231 in 1998 to
$11,626 in 1999 primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing
general partner $6,624 in 1999 and $7,884 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of
the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized non-cash SFAS 121 charges of $95,253 and $52,922
related to its oil and gas properties during 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Depletion was $90,284 in 1999 compared to $130,458 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $40,174, or 31%. This decrease was the result of an increase in
proved reserves of 117,564 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices, a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998 and
a decline in oil production of 1,924 barrels for the period ended December 31,
1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but



                                       6
   561

to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During 1999 and
2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and certain
other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned export
volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the announced
reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil prices, as have
overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North American natural gas
prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment and stable field
service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001, there is no
assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable level or
that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which could
negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $163,858 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $234,195, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $56,799, G&A expenses paid of $6,955 and working capital of $6,583. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $255,175 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by a decrease of $20,980 resulting from the decline in production during
2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and well maintenance costs
incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to
higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited
to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were for
expenditures related to oil and gas equipment upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $6,412 and $134 during 2000 and 1999,
respectively, were from equipment credits received on active wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $312,403, of which $3,124 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $309,279 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $116,799, of which
$1,168 was distributed to the managing general partner and $115,631 to the
limited partners.

                         (A Texas Limited Partnership)

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1.       ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

       Parker & Parsley 85-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1985 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

       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.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

       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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

       Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

       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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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.

                                       14
   569

       Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

       Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

       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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

       Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.  IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

       In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $10,050, $95,253 and
$52,922 related to its proved oil and gas properties during 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

       As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.43 per barrel of NGLs and $7.87 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $2,332,000 and undiscounted was $4,536,000.

       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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

       The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

       Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NOTE 9.  PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

       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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
       manage, control and administer all Partnership affairs. As managing
       general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties, all
       production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
       Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
       received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and
       gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to
       the Partnership. 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
       $7,988,000. Pioneer USA 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.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2035, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements of the
Partnership as of June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal
recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the

The average price per barrel of oil decreased $.44, or 2%, from $28.37 for the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.93 for the same period in 2001. The
average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.58, or 11%, from $13.98
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.56 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per mcf of gas increased 137% from $1.92 during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.55 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $33,459 was recognized during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 from equipment credits on one well plugged and abandoned in
the current period. Expenses incurred to plug and abandon this well were $7,039
for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $97,882 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $115,130 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $17,248,
or 15%. This decrease was due to declines in abandoned property costs,
production costs, depletion and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $76,985 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and $83,393
for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $6,408, or 8%, decrease. The
decrease was primarily the result of less workover costs.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased
5%, from $4,740 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4,492 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a lower allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of decreased oil and gas revenues.

Depletion was $16,405 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$19,958 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $3,553, or 18%. This decrease
was the result of a decline in oil production of 545 barrels for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 15% to $101,279 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $118,958 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decrease in production and declines in
average prices received for oil and NGLs, offset by higher average prices
received for gas. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 2,952 barrels of
oil, 852 barrels of NGLs and 2,954 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,296 BOEs. For the
three months ended June 30, 2000, 2,940 barrels of oil, 1,426 barrels of NGLs
and 5,021 mcf of gas were sold, or 5,203 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $2.37, or 8%, from $29.53
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.16 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased $1.05, or
7%, from $14.59 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $13.54 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 43% to
$3.23 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.26 during the same
period in 2000.

A gain on disposition of assets of $9,798 was recognized during the three months
ended June 30, 2000 from equipment credits on one well plugged and abandoned in
the current period. Expenses incurred to plug and abandon this well were $184
for the three months ended June 30, 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $48,793 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $56,185 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of
$7,392, or 13%. This decrease was due to declines in production cost, depletion,
G&A and abandoned property costs.

Production costs were $38,172 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$44,521 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $6,349 decrease, or 14%. The
decrease was due to lower workover costs.

During this period, G&A decreased 15%, from $2,379 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $2,025 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a lower
allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of decreased oil and gas revenues and a
decline in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $8,596 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$9,101 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $505, or 6%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $40,938 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to a reduction in working capital of $40,065 and declines in
production costs of $6,408, G&A expenses of $248 and abandoned property costs of
$7,039, offset by a decline in oil and gas receipts of $12,822. The decline in
oil and gas receipts resulted from a decline in production of $40,493 during
2001 as compared to the same period in 2000 and $2,784 due to lower average
prices received for oil, offset by an increase in gas and NGL prices during 2001
which contributed an additional $30,455 to oil and gas receipts. The decrease in
production costs was primarily due to lower workover costs. The decrease in G&A
was primarily due to a lower percentage of the managing general partner's G&A
being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of decreased
oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2000 were related to expenditures for equipment upgrades on various oil
and gas properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $42,294 were received during the six
months ended June 30, 2000. The proceeds were primarily from equipment credits
on one well plugged and abandoned during 2000.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$94,553, of which $946 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$93,607 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $181,526, of which $1,815 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $179,711 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common



                                        9

stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit

made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our

                 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 85-A, LTD.
                          (A Texas Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley Private Investment 85-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership organized in 1985 under the laws of the State of Texas.
The Partnership's managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA,
Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum
consultants. The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of
and the related allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and
any gain or loss is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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.



                                       7
   602

        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.  IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

         In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $61,942 and $130,873
related to its



                                       8
   603

proved oil and gas properties during 2000 and 1998, respectively.

NOTE 4.  INCOME TAXES

         The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $5,983 less than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

         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
ended December 31:

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.00 per barrel of NGLs and $7.43 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $2,408,000 and undiscounted was $5,247,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

       The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

       Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

        At December 31, 2000, the amount receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P.
was $27,002 which is included in the caption "Accounts receivable - oil and gas
sales" in the accompanying Balance Sheet.

        Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one purchaser would
not have an adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership to sell its oil,
NGLs and gas production.


NOTE 9. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

         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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
        manage, control and administer all Partnership affairs. As managing
        general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties, all
        production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
        Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
        received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion



                                       12
   607

        of the oil and gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to
        being paid to the Partnership. 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
        $5,000,000. Pioneer USA was required to contribute amounts equal to 1%
        of initial Partnership capital less commission and organization and
        offering costs 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 47% to $502,432 for 2000 as
compared to $342,760 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 11,945
barrels of oil, 5,674 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 20,905 mcf of
gas were sold, or 21,103 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 14,568
barrels of oil, 6,096 barrels of NGLs and 23,218 mcf of gas were sold, or 24,534
BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $13.28, or 79%, from
$16.91 in 1999 to $30.19 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.27, or 53%, from $9.95 in 1999 to $15.22 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 72% from $1.54 in 1999 to $2.65 in 2000. 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 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets recognized during 2000 of $33,459 was due to
equipment credits received on two wells plugged and abandoned during the current
year. Abandoned property costs of $7,038 incurred in 2000 related to the
abandonment of these two wells.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $278,261 as compared to $229,322
in 1999, an increase of $48,939, or 21%. The increase was primarily due to the
impairment of oil and gas properties and increases in production costs,
abandoned property costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset
by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $164,183 in 2000 and $157,138 in 1999, resulting in a
$7,045 increase, or 4%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and workover costs incurred to
stimulate well production, offset by a decline in well maintenance costs.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
47% from $6,855 in 1999 to $10,049 in 2000, primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 2% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $8,067 in 2000 and $3,581 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.


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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $61,942 related to its oil and gas properties during 2000.


   609

Depletion was $35,049 in 2000 as compared to $65,329 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $30,280, or 46%. This decrease was primarily due to a 20,767 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices and a decline in oil production of 2,623 barrels for the period ended
December 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 27% to $342,760 from
$269,068 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 14,568 barrels of oil,
6,096 barrels of NGLs and 23,218 mcf of gas were sold, or 24,534 BOEs. In 1998,
14,874 barrels of oil, 6,326 barrels of NGLs and 22,343 mcf of gas were sold, or
24,924 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.71, or 28%, from
$13.20 in 1998 to $16.91 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $3.46, or 53%, from $6.49 in 1998 to $9.95 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 9% from $1.41 in 1998 to $1.54 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $229,322 as compared to $441,872
in 1998, a decrease of $212,550, or 48%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production
costs, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $157,138 in 1999 and $173,592 in 1998, resulting in a
$16,454 decrease, or 9%. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs and ad valorem taxes.

During this period, G&A increased 14% from $6,018 in 1998 to $6,855 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 2% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $3,581 in
1999 and $4,294 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized a non-cash SFAS 121 charge of $130,873 related to its
oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $65,329 in 1999 compared to $131,389 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $66,060, or 50%. This decrease was the result of an increase in
proved reserves of 120,513 barrels of oil during 1999 due to higher commodity
prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from charges
taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $126,496 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $162,136, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $7,045, G&A expenses paid of $3,194, abandoned property costs paid of $7,038
and working capital of $18,363. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted
from the increase in commodity prices during 2000 which contributed an
additional $253,878 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $91,742 resulting from
the decline in production during 2000. The increase in production costs was
primarily due to increased production taxes associated with higher oil and gas
prices and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production, offset by a
decline in well maintenance costs. The increase in G&A was primarily due to
higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited
to 2% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on several oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets during 2000 of $41,969 were related to
$33,459 salvage income received on two wells plugged and abandoned during the
current year and $8,510 from equipment credits received on one active well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $348,010, of which $3,480 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $344,530 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $149,074, of which
$1,491 was distributed to the managing general partner and $147,583 to the
limited partners.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2035, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 2001
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley Selected 85 Private  Investment,  Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership organized in 1985 under the laws of the State of Texas.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
  and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 27% to $249,386 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $196,468 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received and an
increase in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 5,370 barrels of

                                        6

   620



oil, 2,580 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 12,602 mcf of gas were
sold, or 10,050 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, 4,791 barrels of oil, 2,883 barrels of NGLs and 11,058 mcf of gas
were sold, or 9,517 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.31, or 1%, from $27.61
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.92 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.11, or 15%, from
$14.13 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.24 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 116% from $2.12
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.57 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 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 six months ended June 30,
2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $120,821 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $103,126 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $17,695
or 17%. This increase was due to higher production costs and general and
administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $101,173 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$82,419 for the same period in 2000 resulting in an $18,754 increase, or 23%.
This increase was the result of additional well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production and higher production taxes due to higher oil and gas
prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
27%, from $3,929 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4,988 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and increases in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $14,660 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$16,778 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $2,118, or 13%. This decrease
was the result of a positive revision to proved reserves on significant wells
during the period ended June 30, 2001, offset by an increase in oil production
of 579 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 13% to $120,409 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $106,941 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas

                                        7

   621




and an increase in production, offset by lower average prices received for oil
and NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 2,829 barrels of oil, 1,389
barrels of NGLs and 6,018 mcf of gas were sold, or 5,221 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 2,521 barrels of oil, 1,528 barrels of NGLs and
5,665 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,993 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.31, or 1%, from $27.86
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.55 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased $.12, or
1%, from $14.69 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.57 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 46% to
$3.69 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.52 during the same
period in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $61,125 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $52,922 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$8,203, or 16%. This increase was due to higher production costs and G&A, offset
by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $50,842 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$42,099 for the same period in 2000 resulting in an $8,743, or 21%, increase.
The increase was due to additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate
well production and higher production taxes due to higher oil and gas prices.

During this period, G&A increased 13%, from $2,138 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $2,409 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a higher
allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Depletion was $7,874 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$8,685 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $811, or 9%. This decrease was
the result of a positive revision to proved reserves on significant wells during
the period ended June 30, 2001, offset by an increase in oil production of 308
barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period
in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $65,683 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $52,993 and a
reduction in working capital of $32,503, offset by increases in production costs
of $18,754 and G&A expenses of $1,059. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an
additional $34,695 to oil and gas receipts and $18,298 resulting from an
increase in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes

                                        8

   622




associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance costs
incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to
a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated
(limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas
revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2000 were for expenditures related to equipment upgrades on various oil
and gas properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $2,574 received during the six months
ended June 30, 2001 were due to equipment credits received on one fully depleted
well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$88,265, of which $883 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$87,382 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $98,809, of which $988 was distributed to the
managing general partner and $97,821 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                          (A Texas Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1.     ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

     Parker & Parsley Selected 85 Private Investment, Ltd. (the
"Partnership") is a limited partnership organized in 1985 under the laws of
the State of Texas.  The Partnership's managing general partner is Pioneer
Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

     The Partnership engages 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:

     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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

     Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

     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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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

                                       7
   631

respective partners.

     Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

     Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

     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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

     Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and gas
properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a decline
in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of its
oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on proved
reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $92,133 related to its
proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

     As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net revenues
of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.63 per
barrel of oil, $13.32 per barrel of NGLs and $7.55 per mcf of gas, discounted at
10% was approximately $1,829,000 and undiscounted was approximately $3,687,000.

     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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

    The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by
applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

    Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NOTE 9.     PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

      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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to manage, control
     and administer all Partnership affairs. As managing general partner and
     operator of the Partnership's properties, all production expenses are
     incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the Partnership. The majority of the
     Partnership's oil and gas revenues are received directly by the
     Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and gas revenue is initially
     received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to the



                                       12
   636
     Partnership. 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 $4,690,000.
     Pioneer USA was required to contribute amounts equal to 1% of initial
     Partnership capital less commission and organization and offering costs
     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.

DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 75% to $441,200 for 2000 as
compared to $252,399 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received and a slight increase in production. In 2000, 9,509
barrels of oil, 6,189 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 22,987 mcf of
gas were sold, or 19,529 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 7,828
barrels of oil, 6,770 barrels of NGLs and 27,627 mcf of gas were sold, or 19,203
BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.32, or 71%, from
$17.27 in 1999 to $29.59 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.03, or 48%, from $10.49 in 1999 to $15.52 in 2000. The average
price received per mcf of gas increased 66% from $1.67 in 1999 to $2.77 in 2000.
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 2000.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $224,630 as compared to $192,779
in 1999, an increase of $31,851, or 17%. The increase was primarily due to
increases in production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"),
offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $184,074 in 2000 and $153,832 in 1999, resulting in a
$30,242 increase, or 20%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and workover costs incurred to
stimulate well production, offset by a decline in well maintenance costs.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
75% from $5,048 in 1999 to $8,824 in 2000, primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 2% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $6,888 in 2000 and $1,886 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

Depletion was $31,732 in 2000 as compared to $33,899 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $2,167, or 6%. This decrease was primarily due to a 28,956 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices, offset by an increase in oil production of 1,681 barrels for the period
ended December 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.


   638


1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 22% to $252,399 from
$206,099 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 7,828 barrels of oil,
6,770 barrels of NGLs and 27,627 mcf of gas were sold, or 19,203 BOEs. In 1998,
9,075 barrels of oil, 6,364 barrels of NGLs and 25,328 mcf of gas were sold, or
19,660 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.83, or 28%, from
$13.44 in 1998 to $17.27 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $3.50, or 50%, from $6.99 in 1998 to $10.49 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 7% from $1.56 in 1998 to $1.67 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $192,779 as compared to $368,781
in 1998, a decrease of $176,002, or 48%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties and depletion, offset by
increases in G&A and production costs.

Production costs were $153,832 in 1999 and $153,789 in 1998, resulting in a $43
increase. The increase was due to increases in production taxes due to increased
oil and gas revenues and additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate
well production, offset by a decline in ad valorem taxes.

During this period, G&A increased 22% from $4,122 in 1998 to $5,048 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 2% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $1,886 in
1999 and $2,442 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $92,133 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $33,899 in 1999 compared to $118,737 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $84,838, or 71%. This decrease was the result of a combination of
factors that included an increase in proved reserves of 65,798 barrels of oil
during 1999 as a result of higher commodity prices, a reduction in the
Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS
121 during the fourth quarter of 1998 and a decline in oil production of 1,247
barrels for the period ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period in
1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $142,902 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $190,658, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $30,242, G&A expenses paid of $3,776 and working capital of $13,738. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $162,805 to oil and gas receipts and
an increase of $27,853 resulting from the increase in production during 2000.
The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices and workover costs incurred to
stimulate well production, offset by a decline in well maintenance costs.. The
increase in G&A was primarily due to higher percentage of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 2% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on various oil and gas properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $221,495, of which $2,215 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $219,280 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $60,005, of which
$600 was distributed to the managing general partner and $59,405 to the limited
partners.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2036, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 86-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1986 under the laws of the State of Texas.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 4% to $410,079 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $393,746 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 8,359 barrels
of oil, 4,940 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 20,166 mcf of gas were

                                        7

   650



sold, or 16,660 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, 9,168 barrels of oil, 6,254 barrels of NGLs and 26,019 mcf of gas
were sold, or 19,759 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased slightly from $27.71 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.73 for the same period in 2001. The
average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.56, or 18%, from $14.19
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.75 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per mcf of gas increased 142% from $1.96 during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.74 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

A gain on disposition of assets of $28,971 was recognized during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 resulting from equipment credits received on two fully
depleted wells.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $258,131 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $202,619 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$55,512, or 27%. This increase was due to an increase in production costs,
offset by declines in general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion.

Production costs were $234,808 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$176,913 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $57,895 increase, or 33%.
This increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover
costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased
16% from $11,812 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $9,966 for the same
period in 2001. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decline in audit and
tax fees.

Depletion was $13,357 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$13,894 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $537, or 4%. This decrease
was primarily due to a decline in oil production of 809 barrels for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 3% to $190,561 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $196,767 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decrease in production and lower
average prices received for oil, offset by higher average prices received for
gas and NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 4,389 barrels of oil,
2,558 barrels of NGLs and 9,290 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,495 BOEs. For the

                                        8

   651



three months ended June 30, 2000, 4,548 barrels of oil, 2,908 barrels of NGLs
and 11,558 mcf of gas were sold, or 9,382 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.67, or 2%, from $27.97
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.30 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.27, or 2%, from $14.53
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.80 for the same period in
2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 50% from $2.36 during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.54 for the same period in 2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $18,734 was recognized during the three months
ended June 30, 2000 resulting from equipment credits received on two fully
depleted wells.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $146,144 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $99,695 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$46,449, or 47%. This increase was due to an increase in production costs,
offset by declines in G&A and depletion.

Production costs were $133,669 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$86,961 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $46,708 increase, or 54%.
This increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover
costs incurred to stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 3% from $5,903 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 to $5,717 for the same period in 2001. The decrease is primarily
attributable to a decline in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $6,758 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$6,831 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $73, or 1%. This decrease was
primarily due to a decline in oil production of 159 barrels for the three months
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $45,251 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase of $16,110 in oil and gas sales receipts and
reductions of $85,190 in working capital and $1,846 in G&A expenses, offset by
an increase of $57,895 in production costs. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an
additional $88,287 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $72,177 resulting from the
decline in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to additional well maintenance
and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production. The decrease in G&A
was primarily due to a decline in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities for the six months ended June
30, 2000 included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active
properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $28,971 received during the six months ended
June 30, 2000 were due to equipment credits received on two fully depleted
wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$191,670, of which $1,917 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$189,753 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $205,060, of which $2,051 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $203,009 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to

   656

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.         BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 86-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1986 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").
Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 10,131 limited partnership
interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA supplies all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers. Of the Partnership's total oil and
gas revenues for 2000 approximately 51% was attributable to sales made to Plains
Marketing, L.P. Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one purchaser
would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil, natural gas
liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.

The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that
could expose the Partnership to substantial

                                        2
   657

liability due to pollution and other environmental damages. 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.

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 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
primarily in the Spraberry Trend area of West Texas were acquired by the
Partnership, resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 32
oil and gas wells. Five wells were sold and one well was abandoned. At December
31, 2000, 26 wells were producing.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.         LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.         SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

ITEM 5.         MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 10,131 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 962 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, distributions of $462,584 and
$154,204, respectively, were made to the limited partners.

ITEM 7.         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 59% to $881,177 for 2000 as
compared to $555,781 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. In 2000, 18,760
barrels of oil, 13,025 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 56,549 mcf of
gas were sold, or 41,210 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 18,743
barrels of oil, 14,483 barrels of NGLs and 62,354 mcf of gas were sold, or
43,618 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $11.87, or 70%, from
$17.00 in 1999 to $28.87 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.31, or 55%, from $9.63 in 1999 to $14.94 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 63% from $1.57 in 1999 to $2.56 in 2000. 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 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $31,944 was recognized during 2000 resulting
from equipment credits on two fully depleted wells.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 2000 to $432,464 as compared to $463,135
in 1999, a decrease of $30,671, or 7%. The decrease was due to declines in
depletion and the impairment of oil and gas properties, offset by increases in
production costs and general and administrative expense ("G&A").

Production costs were $364,985 in 2000 and $341,430 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $23,555, or 7%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by a slight decline in
well maintenance costs.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
73% from $16,673 in 1999 to $28,772 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $24,184 in 2000 and $9,436 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of

                                       5
   660

the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long- lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized
non-cash charges of $12,800 and $28,052 related to its oil and gas properties
during 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Depletion was $25,907 in 2000 as compared to $76,980 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $51,073, or 66%. This decrease was primarily due to a 40,953 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from charges
taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1999.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 34% to $555,781 from
$415,842 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received and an increase in production from 1998 to 1999. In 1999, 18,743
barrels of oil, 14,483 barrels of NGLs and 62,354 mcf of gas were sold, or
43,618 BOEs. In 1998, 20,308 barrels of oil, 11,164 barrels of NGLs and 49,805
mcf of gas were sold, or 39,773 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.68, or 28%, from
$13.32 in 1998 to $17.00 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $3.10, or 47%, from $6.53 in 1998 to $9.63 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 8% from $1.46 in 1998 to $1.57 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $463,135 as compared to $669,121
in 1998, a decrease of $205,986, or 31%. The decrease was due to declines in
depletion and production costs, offset by increases in the impairment of oil and
gas properties and G&A.

Production costs were $341,430 in 1999 and $372,460 in 1998, resulting in a
$31,030 decrease, or 8%. The decrease was due to declines in workover costs,
well maintenance costs and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in production
taxes due to an increase in oil and gas revenues.

During this period, G&A increased 34% from $12,476 in 1998 to $16,673 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $9,436 in
1999 and $9,062 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized non-cash SFAS 121 charges of $28,052 and $23,593
related to its oil and gas properties during 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Depletion was $76,980 in 1999 compared to $260,592 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $183,612, or 70%. This decrease was the result of an increase in
proved reserves of 148,893 barrels of oil during 1999 due to higher commodity
prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from charges
taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $229,299 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $328,536, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $23,555, G&A expenses paid of $12,099 and working capital of $63,583. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $364,711 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by a decrease of $36,175 resulting from a decrease in production during
2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by a slight decline in
well maintenance costs. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were for
expenditures related to oil and gas equipment upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $31,944 received during 2000 were due to
equipment credits received on two fully depleted wells. Proceeds of $120 were
recognized in 1999 primarily from equipment credits received on active
properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $467,257, of which $4,673 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $462,584 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $155,762, of which
$1,558 was distributed to the managing general partner and $154,204 to the
limited partners.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1.         ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 86-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1986 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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.         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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.

                                       14
   669

        Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non- partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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 environ mental 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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.         IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $12,800, $28,052 and
$23,593 related to its proved oil and gas properties during 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

NOTE 4.         INCOME TAXES

        The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $695,197 less

                                       15
   670

than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $12.60 per barrel of NGLs and $7.15 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $3,610,000 and undiscounted was $7,252,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year- end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NOTE 9.         PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
        manage, control and administer all Partnership affairs. As managing
        general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties, all
        production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
        Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
        received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and
        gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to
        the Partnership. 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
        $10,131,000. Pioneer USA 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.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2036, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 86-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1986 under the laws of the State of Texas.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
             and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 7% to $847,551 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $795,048 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 18,401 barrels
of oil, 7,150 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 43,243 mcf of gas were

                                        7

   692



sold, or 32,758 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, 20,591 barrels of oil, 10,406 barrels of NGLs and 41,035 mcf of
gas were sold, or 37,836 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.31, or 1%, from $27.57
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.88 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.05, or 23%, from
$13.43 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.48 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 135% from $2.13 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $5.01 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

A gain on disposition of assets of $2,250 was received during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 due to equipment credits received on one fully depleted
well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $438,326 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $421,009 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$17,317, or 4%. This increase was due to increases in production costs, general
and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion.

Production costs were $354,327 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$339,664 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $14,663 increase, or 4%.
The increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production and higher production taxes associated with higher oil
and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
7%, from $23,851 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $25,427 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $58,572 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$57,494 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,078, or 2%. This increase
was due to a reduction in proved reserves during the period ended June 30, 2001
due to 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 2000 and a decline in oil production of 2,190 barrels for the
six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 4% to $409,078 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $392,916 for the same period in 2000.


                                        8

   693



The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs, offset by a decrease in production and lower average prices received
for oil. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 9,425 barrels of oil, 4,390
barrels of NGLs and 23,194 mcf of gas were sold, or 17,681 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 9,770 barrels of oil, 5,347 barrels of NGLs and
20,600 mcf of gas were sold, or 18,550 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.68, or 2%, from $27.55
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.87 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.31, or 10%, from
$13.48 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.79 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 56% from $2.51
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.92 for the same period in
2001.

A gain on disposition of assets of $831 was received during the three months
ended June 30, 2000 due to equipment credits received on one fully depleted
well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $227,035 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $205,836 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$21,199, or 10%. This increase was due to increases in production costs,
depletion and G&A.

Production costs were $185,876 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$170,553 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $15,323 increase, or 9%. The
increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A increased 4%, from $11,787 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $12,273 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a higher
allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Depletion was $28,886 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$23,496 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $5,390, or 23%. This
increase was due to a reduction in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a reduction in the
Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS
121 during the fourth quarter of 2000 and a decline in oil production of 345
barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period
in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $123,328 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $52,014 in oil and gas
sale receipts and reductions in working capital of $87,553, offset by increases
in production costs of $14,663 and G&A expenses of $1,576. The increase in oil
and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001
which contributed an additional $155,662 to oil and gas receipts, offset by
$103,648 resulting from the decline in production during 2001 as compared to the


                                        9

   694



same period in 2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to
additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production and
increased production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices. The
increase in G&A was primarily due to an increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 were related to expenditures for upgrades of oil and gas equipment on
active properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $4,846 recognized during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 consisted of $2,250 from equipment credits on one fully
depleted well and $2,596 from equipment credits on an active property.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$318,487, of which $3,185 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$315,302 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $408,087, of which $4,081 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $404,006 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

                                       10

   695




The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.         BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 86-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1986 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").
Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 17,208 limited partnership
interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA supplies all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 36% and 16% were attributable to sales
made to Plains Marketing, L.P. and Mobil Oil Corporation, respectively. Pioneer
USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one purchaser would not have an
adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and
gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.
The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that
could expose the Partnership to substantial

                                        2
   699

liability due to pollution and other environmental damages. 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.

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 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
primarily in the Spraberry Trend area of West Texas were acquired by the
Partnership, resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 56
oil and gas wells. At December 31, 2000, 43 wells were producing. Nine wells and
interests in two abandoned wells were sold and two wells were plugged and
abandoned.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.         LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.         SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

ITEM 5.         MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 17,208 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 1,409 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, distributions of $923,558 and
$357,887, respectively, were made to the limited partners.

ITEM 7.         MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 66% to $1,756,242 for 2000 as
compared to $1,056,533 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 41,276
barrels of oil, 21,061 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 79,859 mcf of
gas were sold, or 75,647 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 40,490
barrels of oil, 22,642 barrels of NGLs and 86,726 mcf of gas were sold, or
77,586 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.27, or 71%, from
$17.18 in 1999 to $29.45 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.61, or 60%, from $9.39 in 1999 to $15.00 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 65% from $1.71 in 1999 to $2.82 in 2000. 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 2000.

A gain on disposition of assets of $21,074 was received during 2000 due to the
sale of equipment on one plugged and abandoned well. Abandoned property costs of
$12,161 were also incurred during 2000 to plug and abandon this well.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $861,600 as compared to $821,102
in 1999, an increase of $40,498, or 5%. The increase was due to increases in
production costs, general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), the impairment of
oil and gas properties and abandoned property costs, offset by a decline in
depletion.

Production costs were $670,780 in 2000 and $611,991 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $58,789, or 10%. This increase was primarily due to higher
production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well
maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
66% from $31,696 in 1999 to $52,687 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $44,975 in 2000 and $19,909 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated

                                       5

to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $13,279 related to its oil and gas properties during 2000.

Depletion was $112,693 in 2000 as compared to $177,415 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $64,722, or 36%. This decrease was primarily due to a 65,045 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 14% to $1,056,533 from
$928,899 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 40,490 barrels of oil,
22,642 barrels of NGLs and 86,726 mcf of gas were sold, or 77,586 BOEs. In 1998,
47,107 barrels of oil, 23,292 barrels of NGLs and 97,715 mcf of gas were sold,
or 86,685 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $4.10, or 31%, from
$13.08 in 1998 to $17.18 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.59, or 38%, from $6.80 in 1998 to $9.39 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 8% from $1.58 in 1998 to $1.71 in 1999.

A gain on disposition of assets of $6,371 was recognized during 1998 from the
sale of equipment on one well plugged and abandoned during 1998. Abandoned
property costs of $20,389 were also incurred during 1998 to plug and abandon
this well.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $821,102 as compared to $1,755,278
in 1998, a decrease of $934,176, or 53%. The decrease was due to declines in the
impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion, production costs and abandoned
property costs, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $611,991 in 1999 and $662,691 in 1998, resulting in a
$50,700 decrease, or 8%. This decrease was due to lower well maintenance costs
and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in workover costs incurred to
stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A increased 14% from $27,867 in 1998 to $31,696 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $19,909 in
1999 and $21,984 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized a non-cash SFAS 121 charge of $509,585 related to its
oil and gas properties during 1998.

                                       6
   703

Depletion was $177,415 in 1999 compared to $534,746 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $357,331, or 67%. This decrease was the result of a combination of
factors that included an increase in proved reserves of 343,529 barrels of oil
during 1999 as a result of higher commodity prices, a reduction in the
Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS
121 during the fourth quarter of 1998 and a decline in oil production of 6,617
barrels for the period ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period in
1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $561,909 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $706,708, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $58,789, G&A expenses paid of $20,991, abandoned costs paid of $12,161 and
working capital of $52,858. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from
the increase in commodity prices during 2000 which contributed an additional
$726,611 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $19,903 resulting from the decline
in production during 2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to
increased production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and well
maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was
primarily due to higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were related to
expenditures for oil and gas equipment upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $23,670 was recognized during 2000. The
gain was comprised of $21,074 received from the sale of equipment on one well
plugged and abandoned during the current period and $2,596 from equipment
credits received on one active well. Proceeds of $8,980 in 1999 were from
equipment credits received on active properties.

   704

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $932,887, of which $9,329 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $923,558 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $361,502, of which
$3,615 was distributed to the managing general partner and $357,887 to the
limited partners.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1.         ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 86-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1986 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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.         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants. The
carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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

                                       15
   712

respective partners.

        Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non- partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.         IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $13,279 and $509,585
related to its proved oil and gas properties during 2000 and 1998, respectively.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.61 per barrel of NGLs and $7.82 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $7,100,000 and undiscounted was $14,263,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

        gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to
        the Partnership. 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

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2036, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 86-C, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1986 under the laws of the State of Texas.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 of operations are not
necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may
have been made to the June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June
30, 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, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
               and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 12% to $955,101 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $856,273 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs, offset by a decrease in production and lower average prices received
for oil. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 19,403 barrels of oil, 10,669

                                        7

   735



barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 54,393 mcf of gas were sold, or
39,138 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30,
2000, 21,638 barrels of oil, 12,002 barrels of NGLs and 45,739 mcf of gas were
sold, or 41,263 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.22, or 1%, from $27.64
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.42 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.26, or 16%, from
$13.72 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.98 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 126% from $2.05
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.64 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $522,597 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $554,066 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $31,469,
or 6%. This decrease was due to declines in depletion and production costs,
offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $433,153 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$448,472 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $15,319 decrease, or 3%.
This decrease was due to lower well maintenance and workover costs.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
12% from $25,688 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $28,653 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $60,791 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$79,906 for the same period in 2000, a decline of $19,115, or 24%. This decrease
was due to upward revisions in proved reserves on three significant wells during
the period ended June 30, 2001 and a decrease in oil production of 2,235 barrels
for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 4% to $422,897 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $439,126 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decrease in production and lower
average prices received for oil, offset by higher average prices received for
gas and NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 9,459 barrels of oil,
5,538 barrels of NGLs and 25,535 mcf of gas were sold, or 19,253 BOEs. For the


                                        8

three months ended June 30, 2000, 10,480 barrels of oil, 6,550 barrels of NGLs
and 23,989 mcf of gas were sold, or 21,028 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.86, or 3%, from $27.72
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.86 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.24, or 2%, from $13.79
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.03 for the same period in
2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 47% from $2.43 during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.57 for the same period in 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $258,243 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $281,440 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of
$23,197, or 8%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs, depletion
and G&A.

Production costs were $215,988 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$231,517 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $15,529 decrease, or 7%.
This decrease was primarily due to lower workover and well maintenance costs.

During this period, G&A decreased 4% from $13,174 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $12,687 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a
decrease in audit and tax fees

Depletion was $29,568 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$36,749 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $7,181, or 20%. This decrease
was primarily due to upward revisions to proved reserves on three significant
wells during the period ended June 30, 2001 and a decrease in oil production of
1,021 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $222,080 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase of $99,580 in oil and gas receipts and
reductions of $110,146 in working capital and $15,319 in production costs,
offset by an increase in G&A expenses of $2,965. The increase in oil and gas
receipts resulted from the increase in gas and NGL prices of $145,824 during
2001, offset by a decline of $42,415 in production and a $3,829 decline
resulting from lower oil prices as compared to the same period in 2000. The
decrease in production costs was primarily due to lower well maintenance and
workover costs. The increase in G&A was primarily due to a higher percentage of
the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit
and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 were related to expenditures for equipment upgrades on active
properties.

                                        9

   737



Proceeds from disposition of assets of $311 recognized during the six months
ended June 30, 2001 were due to equipment credits received on an active
property.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$311,278, of which $3,113 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$308,165 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $351,708, of which $3,517 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $348,191 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

   741

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.       BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 86-C, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1986 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").
Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 19,317 limited partnership
interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA is responsible for all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 37% and 15% were attributable to sales
made to Plains Marketing, L.P. and TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC, respectively. Pioneer
USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one purchaser would not have an
adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and
gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.
The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that
could expose the Partnership to substantial



                                       2
   742



liability due to pollution and other environmental damages. 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.

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 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
primarily in the Spraberry Trend area of West Texas were acquired by the
Partnership, resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 60
productive oil and gas wells. Four wells were sold and three wells were
abandoned due to uneconomical operations. At December 31, 2000, 53 wells were
producing.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.      SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

                                     PART II

ITEM 5.      MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
             DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 19,317 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 1,332 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, distributions of $821,264 and
$236,960, respectively, were made to the limited partners.

ITEM 7.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 75% to $1,865,405 for 2000 as
compared to $1,067,096 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a slight decline in production. In 2000,
41,783 barrels of oil, 24,546 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 95,610
mcf of gas were sold, or 82,264 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999,
37,899 barrels of oil, 26,995 barrels of NGLs and 105,081 mcf of gas were sold,
or 82,408 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in
the future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.25, or 71%, from
$17.18 in 1999 to $29.43 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.79, or 62%, from $9.27 in 1999 to $15.06 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 76% from $1.58 in 1999 to $2.78 in 2000. 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 2000.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $1,051,119 as compared to $969,444
in 1999, an increase of $81,675, or 8%. The increase was due to increases in
production costs and general and administrative ("G&A") expenses, offset by
declines in depletion and the impairment of oil and gas properties.

Production costs were $848,089 in 2000 and $713,921 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $134,168, or 19%. The increase was primarily due to additional well
maintenance and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production and higher
production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
75% from $32,012 in 1999 to $55,962 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $46,688 in 2000 and $17,953 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $26,652 related to its oil and gas properties during 1999.

Depletion was $147,068 in 2000 compared to $196,859 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $49,791, or 25%. This decrease was primarily due to a 158,291
barrels of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1999,
offset by an increase in oil production of 3,884 barrels for the period ended
December 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 10% to $1,067,096 from
$973,632 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 37,899 barrels of oil,
26,995 barrels of NGLs and 105,081 mcf of gas were sold, or 82,408 BOEs. In
1998, 44,016 barrels of oil, 30,658 barrels of NGLs and 129,149 mcf of gas were
sold, or 96,199 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.92, or 30%, from
$13.26 in 1998 to $17.18 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGL's
increased $2.81, or 43%, from $6.46 in 1998 to $9.27 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 6% from $1.49 in 1998 to $1.58 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $969,444 as compared to $1,406,971
in 1998, a decrease of $437,527, or 31%. The decrease was due to declines in the
impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production costs, offset by
an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $713,921 in 1999 and $737,587 in 1998, resulting in a
$23,666 decrease, or 3%. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs and ad valorem taxes.

During this period, G&A increased 10% from $29,209 in 1998 to $32,012 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $17,953 in
1999 and $21,776 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized non-cash SFAS 121 charges of $26,652 and $277,277
related to its oil and gas properties during 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Depletion was $196,859 in 1999 compared to $362,898 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $166,039, or 46%. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in
proved reserves of 291,530 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of



                                       6

1998 and a decline in oil production of 6,117 barrels for the period ended
December 31, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $596,449 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $804,637, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $134,168, G&A expenses paid of $23,950 and working capital of $50,070. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $753,537 to oil and gas receipts and
an increase of $51,100 resulting from the increase in oil production during
2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance
and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A
was primarily due to higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A
being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased
oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were related to
expenditures for oil and gas equipment upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $847 were recognized during 1999 from
equipment credits received on active properties.




Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $829,560, of which $8,296 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $821,264 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $239,353, of which
$2,393 was distributed to the managing general partner and $236,960 to the
limited partners.

The Partners
Parker & Parsley 86-C, Ltd.
  (A Texas Limited Partnership):

We have audited the balance sheets of Parker & Parsley 86-C, Ltd. as of December
31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Parker & Parsley 86-C, Ltd. as

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1.       ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 86-C, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1986 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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.



                                       14
   754



        Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.      IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions $26,652 and $277,277
related to its proved oil and gas properties during 1999 and 1998, respectively.

NOTE 4.      INCOME TAXES

        The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $533,255 less than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.39 per barrel of NGLs and $7.64 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $6,568,000 and undiscounted was $12,019,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

     Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

not have an adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership to sell its oil,
NGLs and gas production.

NOTE 9.    PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of
the limited partnership agreement:


        Managing general partner - The general partner of the Partnership is
        Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA, the managing general partner, has the power
        and authority to manage, control and administer all Partnership affairs.
        As managing general partner and operator of the Partnership's
        properties, all production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and
        billed to the Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas
        revenues are received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of
        the oil and gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to
        being paid to the Partnership. 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.

                                       19
   759
        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
        $19,317,000. Pioneer USA 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.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its
     partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.



(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2036, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley Private Investment 86, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited
partnership organized in 1986 under the laws of the State of Texas.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
  and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 7% to $306,293 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $286,086 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs, offset by a decrease in production and lower average prices received

for oil. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 6,328 barrels of oil, 2,454
barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 17,822 mcf of gas were sold, or
11,752 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30,
2000, 7,225 barrels of oil, 3,568 barrels of NGLs and 16,606 mcf of gas were
sold, or 13,561 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased slightly from $27.85 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.77 for the same period in 2001. The
average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.93, or 22%, from $13.35
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.28 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per mcf of gas increased 127% from $2.24 during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $5.09 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $176,537 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $186,587 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $10,050,
or 5%. This decrease was due to lower production costs, offset by increases in
general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion.

Production costs were $142,278 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$153,874 for the same period in 2000, resulting in an $11,596, or 8%, decrease.
The decrease was primarily due to less workover costs.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
7%, from $5,722 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $6,126 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $28,133 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$26,991 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,142, or 4%. This increase
was the result of a decline in proved reserves during the period ended June 30,
2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil production of 897
barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in
2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased slightly to $146,955 for the
three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $146,532 for the same period in
2000. The slight increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received for gas and NGLs, offset by a decline in production and a lower average

price received for oil. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 3,199 barrels
of oil, 1,420 barrels of NGLs and 8,870 mcf of gas were sold, or 6,097 BOEs. For
the three months ended June 30, 2000, 3,505 barrels of oil, 1,866 barrels of
NGLs and 8,672 mcf of gas were sold, or 6,816 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $1.16, or 4%, from $28.16
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.00 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.43, or
11%, from $13.37 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.80 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 69% to
$4.46 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.64 during the same
period in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $95,243 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $96,270 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of
$1,027, or 1%. This decrease was due to lower production costs, offset by an
increase in G&A and depletion.

Production costs were $76,829 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$81,136 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $4,307 decrease, or 5%. The
decrease was primarily due to less workover costs.

During this period, G&A increased slightly from $2,931 for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 to $2,939 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a
higher allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited
to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Depletion was $15,475 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$12,203 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $3,272, or 27%. This
increase was attributable to a decline in proved reserves during the period
ended June 30, 2001 as a result of lower commodity prices, offset by a decline
in oil production of 306 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $75,743 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $20,397 and a
reduction in working capital of $44,154 and a decline of $11,596 in production
costs, offset by an increase in G&A expenses of $404. The increase in oil and
gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which
contributed an additional $57,068 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $36,671
resulting from the decline in production during 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000. The decrease in production costs was primarily due to less
workover costs. The increase in G&A was due to an increase in audit and tax
fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 were related to expenditures for equipment upgrades on
various oil and gas properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$112,671, of which $1,127 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$111,544 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $116,412, of which $1,164 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $115,248 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our

                          (A Texas Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley Private Investment 86, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership organized in 1986 under the laws of the State of Texas. The
Partnership's managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.
("Pioneer USA").

        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. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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.



                                       7
   787

        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS


        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $98,274 related to its
proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.44 per barrel of NGLs and $7.89 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $2,493,000 and undiscounted $4,970,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

       The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

       Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NGLs and gas production.

NOTE 9. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

         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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
        manage, control and administer all Partnership affairs. As managing
        general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties, all
        production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
        Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
        received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and
        gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to
        the Partnership. 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
        $4,920,000. Pioneer USA is required to contribute amounts equal to 1% of
        initial Partnership capital less commission and organization and
        offering costs

        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.

THIS REPORT CONTAINS FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND

DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 73% to $611,774 for 2000 as
compared to $354,462 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received and an increase in production. In 2000, 13,860 barrels
of oil, 7,078 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 33,570 mcf of gas were
sold, or 26,533 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 13,331 barrels of
oil, 7,512 barrels of NGLs and 30,923 mcf of gas were sold, or 25,997 BOEs. Due
to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties,
management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the future until
the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.11, or 70%, from
$17.34 in 1999 to $29.45 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.74, or 62%, from $9.27 in 1999 to $15.01 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 68% from $1.73 in 1999 to $2.90 in 2000. 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 2000.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $348,901 as compared to $308,958
in 1999, an increase of $39,943, or 13%. The increase was primarily due to
increases in production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"),
offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $287,563 in 2000 and $236,129 in 1999, resulting in a
$51,434 increase, or 22%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
73% from $7,089 in 1999 to $12,235 in 2000, primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 2% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $10,107 in 2000 and $3,583 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

Depletion was $49,103 in 2000 as compared to $65,740 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $16,637, or 25%. This decrease was primarily due to a 34,384 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 18% to $354,462 from
$301,556 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 13,331 barrels of oil,
7,512 barrels of NGLs and 30,923 mcf of gas were sold, or 25,997 BOEs. In 1998,
14,914 barrels of oil, 7,331 barrels of NGLs and 33,219 mcf of gas were sold, or
27,782 BOEs.




   794

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $4.00, or 30%, from
$13.34 in 1998 to $17.34 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.58, or 39%, from $6.69 in 1998 to $9.27 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 7% from $1.61 in 1998 to $1.73 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $308,958 as compared to $469,189
in 1998, a decrease of $160,231, or 34%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties and depletion, offset by
increases in production costs and G&A.

Production costs were $236,129 in 1999 and $213,042 in 1998, resulting in a
$23,087 increase, or 11%. The increase was due to increased workover costs and
well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production, offset by a
decrease in ad valorem taxes.

During this period, G&A increased 18% from $6,031 in 1998 to $7,089 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 2% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $3,583 in
1999 and $4,004 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $98,274 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $65,740 in 1999 compared to $151,842 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $86,102, or 57%. This decrease was the result of a combination of
factors that included an increase in proved reserves of 97,690 barrels of oil
during 1999 as a result of higher commodity prices, a reduction in the
Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS
121 during the fourth quarter of 1998 and a decline in oil production of 1,583
barrels for the period ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period in
1998.

Petroleum Industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $170,228 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $259,542, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $51,434, G&A expenses paid of $5,146 and working capital of $32,734. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $242,798 to oil and gas receipts and
an increase of $16,744 resulting from the increase in production during 2000.
The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices and well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 2%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.




   795

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions in 1999 of $701 were from equipment credits
received on two wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $276,142, of which $2,761 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $273,381 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $68,473, of which
$685 was distributed to the managing general partner and $67,788 to the limited
partners.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its
     partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.



(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2037, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.    Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 87-A Conv., Ltd. (the "Partnership") was organized in 1987 as a
general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was converted to a
Texas limited partnership in 1989.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
   and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 3% to $187,285 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $181,312 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 3,828 barrels

                                        6

   805



of oil, 2,015 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 10,345 mcf of gas were
sold, or 7,567 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June
30, 2000, 4,349 barrels of oil, 2,563 barrels of NGLs and 11,375 mcf of gas were
sold, or 8,808 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased slightly from $27.41 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.45 for the same period in 2001. The
average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.10, or 14%, from $14.63
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.73 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per mcf of gas increased 116% from $2.17 during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.69 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $5,909 was received during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 of which $5,123 was from disposal of equipment on two wells
plugged and abandoned during the current period and $786 was from equipment
credits received on one fully depleted well. Expenses to plug and abandon these
wells were $3,134. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, a gain of $784 was
recognized due to equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $99,286 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $88,874 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $10,412,
or 12%. This increase was due to increases in production costs, abandoned
property costs, depletion and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $74,815 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and $70,536
for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $4,279 increase, or 6%. The increase
was due to additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred to stimulate
well production and higher production taxes due to higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
3% from $5,439 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $5,619 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $15,718 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$12,899 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $2,819 or 22%. This increase
was due to a decrease in proved reserves during the period ended June 30, 2001
due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decrease in oil production of 521
barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in
2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 12% to $83,576 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $94,529 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decrease in production and a lower
average price received for oil, offset by higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 1,918 barrels of oil, 993
barrels of NGLs and 4,627 mcf of gas were sold, or 3,682 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 2,163 barrels of oil, 1,381 barrels of NGLs and
5,950 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,536 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.58, or 2%, from $27.64
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.06 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.57, or
4%, from $14.21 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.78 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 44% to
$3.67 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.55 during the same
period in 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $5,588 was received during the three months
ended June 30, 2001 of which $5,123 was from disposal of equipment on two wells
plugged and abandoned during the current period and $465 was from equipment
credits received on one fully depleted well. Expenses to plug and abandon these
wells were $3,134.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $48,264 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $43,807 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$4,457, or 10%. This increase was due to higher production costs and abandoned
property costs, offset by declines in G&A and depletion.

Production costs were $36,798 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$35,010 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $1,788 increase, or 5%. The
increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 12%, from $2,836 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $2,508 for the same period in 2001, due to a decrease in audit
and tax fees.

Depletion was $5,824 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$5,961 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $137, or 2%. This decrease was
attributable to a decrease in oil production of 245 barrels for the three months
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $26,508 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $5,786 and a
reduction in working capital of $28,315, offset by increases in production costs
of $4,279, abandoned property costs of $3,134 and G&A expenses of $180. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2001 which contributed an additional $34,082 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $28,296 resulting from the decline in production during 2001 as
compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in production costs was
primarily due to additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well
production and higher production taxes associated with increased oil and gas
prices. The increase in G&A was due to an increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on various oil and
gas properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $3,088 and $1,015 received during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, were comprised of $786 and
$784, respectively, received from the salvage of equipment on one fully depleted
well and $316 and $231, respectively, from equipment salvage on active
properties. A gain of $1,986 was recognized during the six months ended June 30,
2001 due to salvage income received on two wells plugged and abandoned.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$65,670, of which $657 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$65,013 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $104,242, of which $1,042 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $103,200 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge


                                        9

   808


with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                          (A Texas Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.        ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 87-A Conv., Ltd. (the "Partnership") was organized in
1987 as a general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was
converted to a Texas limited partnership in 1989. The Partnership's managing
general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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.        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



                                       7
   816

        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.        IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future



                                       8
   817

cash flows at a discount rate commensurate with the risks involved in the
industry. As a result, the Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions
of $5,726 and $63,814 related to its proved oil and gas properties during 2000
and 1998, respectively.

NOTE 4.        INCOME TAXES

        The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $34,055 less than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

        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, 2000, 1999 and 1998 and
changes in such quantities during the years then ended. All of the Partnership's
reserves are proved developed and located within the United States. The
Partnership's reserves are based on an evaluation prepared by Williamson
Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent petroleum consultant, using criteria
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.38 per barrel of NGLs and $7.67 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $1,465,000 and undiscounted was $2,903,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NOTE 9.        PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
        manage, control and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As
        managing general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties,
        all production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
        Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
        received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and
        gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to
        the Partnership. 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 partners entered into subscription
        agreements for aggregate capital contributions of $3,856,000. Pioneer
        USA is required to contribute amounts equal to 1% of initial Partnership
        capital less commission and organization and offering costs 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 63% to $380,908 for 2000 as
compared to $234,259 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. In 2000, 8,407
barrels of oil, 4,689 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 20,355 mcf of
gas were sold, or 16,489 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 8,263
barrels of oil, 5,315 barrels of NGLs and 24,503 mcf of gas were sold, or 17,662
BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.40, or 73%, from
$17.06 in 1999 to $29.46 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $6.20, or 63%, from $9.81 in 1999 to $16.01 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 70% from $1.68 in 1999 to $2.86 in 2000. 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 2000.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $191,926 as compared to $169,175
in 1999, an increase of $22,751, or 13%. The increase was primarily due to
increases in production costs, impairment of oil and gas properties and general
and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion.

Gains on disposition of assets of $857 and $1,184 were due to equipment credits
received on one well during 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Production costs were $150,075 in 2000 and $126,927 in 1999, resulting in a
$23,148 increase, or 18%. The increase 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.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
61% from $6,978 in 1999 to $11,235 in 2000, primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $9,809 in 2000 and $4,592 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $5,726 related to its oil and gas properties during 2000.



   823


Depletion was $24,890 in 2000 as compared to $35,270 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $10,380, or 29%. This decrease was primarily due to an 8,116 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 20% to $234,259 from
$194,541 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decrease in production. In 1999, 8,263 barrels of oil,
5,315 barrels of NGLs and 24,503 mcf of gas were sold, or 17,662 BOEs. In 1998,
9,354 barrels of oil, 5,017 barrels of NGLs and 24,025 mcf of gas were sold, or
18,375 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.84, or 29%, from
$13.22 in 1998 to $17.06 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $3.05, or 45%, from $6.76 in 1998 to $9.81 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 9% from $1.54 in 1998 to $1.68 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $169,175 as compared to $295,804
in 1998, a decrease of $126,629, or 43%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production
costs, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $126,927 in 1999 and $143,008 in 1998, resulting in a
$16,081 decrease, or 11%. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs, workover expenses and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in
production taxes due to increased oil and gas revenues.

During this period, G&A increased 22% from $5,727 in 1998 to $6,978 in 1999
primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $4,592 in
1999 and $4,507 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized a non-cash SFAS 121 charge of $63,814 related to its
oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $35,270 in 1999 compared to $83,255 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $47,985, or 58%. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in
proved reserves of 71,246 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices, a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998 and
a decline in oil production of 1,091 barrels for the period ended December 31,
1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $107,462 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $148,262, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $23,148, G&A expenses paid of $4,257 and working capital of $13,395. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $165,908 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $17,646 resulting from the decline in production during 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices and workover and well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily
due to higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated
(limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas
revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were related to
upgrades of equipment on active properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $1,340 and $1,238 received during 2000 and
1999, respectively, were primarily due to equipment credits received on active
properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $208,425, of which $2,084 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $206,341 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $70,098, of which
$701 was distributed to the managing general partner and $69,397 to the limited
partners.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its
     partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001
     by the partnership to its partners.



(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2037, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 3% to $1,399,068 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $1,357,075 for the same period in
2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received,
offset by a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001,
28,595 barrels of oil, 15,052 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 77,315


                                        7

   835



mcf of gas were sold, or 56,533 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six
months ended June 30, 2000, 32,573 barrels of oil, 19,149 barrels of NGLs and
84,978 mcf of gas were sold, or 65,885 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased slightly from $27.41 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.45 for the same period in 2001. The
average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.10, or 14%, from $14.63
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.73 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per mcf of gas increased 116% from $2.17 during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.69 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $44,153 was received during the six months
ended June 30, 2001 of which $38,277 was from disposal of equipment on two wells
plugged and abandoned during the current period and $5,876 was from equipment
credits received on one fully depleted well. Expenses to plug and abandon these
wells were $23,416. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, a gain of $5,861 was
recognized due to equipment credits received on a fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $742,218 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $663,843 for the same period ended June 30, 2000, an
increase of $78,375, or 12%. This increase was due to increases in production
costs, abandoned property costs, depletion and general and administrative
expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $559,015 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$527,318 for the same period in 2000 resulting in an increase of $31,697, or 6%.
The increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover costs
incurred to stimulate well production and higher production taxes associated
with higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
4% from $40,316 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $41,972 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $117,815 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$96,209 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $21,606, or 22%. This
increase was due to a decline in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil production of
3,978 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 12% to $624,236 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $708,134 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decrease in production and a lower
average price received for oil, offset by higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 14,328 barrels of oil, 7,417
barrels of NGLs and 34,560 mcf of gas were sold, or 27,505 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 16,239 barrels of oil, 10,298 barrels of NGLs and
44,352 mcf of gas were sold, or 33,929 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.58, or 2%, from $27.64
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.06 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.57, or 4%, from $14.21
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.78 for the same period in
2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 44% from $2.55 during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.67 for the same period in 2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $41,754 was received during the three months
ended June 30, 2001 of which $38,277 was from disposal of equipment on two wells
plugged and abandoned during the current period and $3,477 was from equipment
credits received on one fully depleted well. Expenses to plug and abandon these
wells were $23,416.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $360,609 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $326,923 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$33,686, or 10%. This increase was due to increases in abandoned property costs
and production costs, offset by declines in G&A and depletion.

Production costs were $274,936 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$261,610 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $13,326 increase, or 5%. The
increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 10% from $20,848 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $18,727 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a
decrease in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $43,530 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$44,465 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $935, or 2%. This decrease
was primarily due to a decline in oil production of 1,911 barrels for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $131,420 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was primarily due to an increase of $40,705 in oil and gas sales
receipts and a reduction in working capital of $147,484, offset by increases in
production costs of $31,697, G&A expenses of $1,656 and abandoned property costs
of $23,416. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in
commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $254,340 to oil and
gas receipts, offset by $213,635 resulting from the decline in production during
2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in production costs
was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred to
stimulate well production and higher production taxes associated with higher oil
and gas prices. The increase in G&A was primarily due to an increase in audit
and tax fees.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 were related to the upgrades of oil and gas equipment on
active properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $23,075 and $7,591 were received during the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Proceeds recognized
during the period in 2001 were related to $14,840 from salvage income received
on two wells plugged and abandoned and $8,235 from equipment credits received on
a fully depleted well. Proceeds recognized during the period in 2000 were from
equipment credits received on fully depleted properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$490,720, of which $4,907 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$485,813 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $778,868, of which $7,789 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $771,079 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge

                                       10

   838



with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

   841



                                     PART I

ITEM 1.        BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 87-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1987 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").
Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 28,811 limited partnership
interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA supplies all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers. Of the Partnership's total oil and
gas revenues for 2000, approximately 43% and 11% was attributable to sales made
to Plains Marketing, L.P. and NGTS LLC, respectively. Pioneer USA is of the
opinion that the loss of any one purchaser would not have an adverse effect on
its ability to sell its oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.

The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that
could expose the Partnership to substantial



                                       2
   842


liability due to pollution and other environmental damages. 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.

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 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
primarily in the Spraberry Trend area of West Texas were acquired by the
Partnership, resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 96
oil and gas wells. Two wells were dry holes. Six uneconomical wells were plugged
and abandoned and 15 oil and gas wells have been sold. At December 31, 2000, 73
wells were producing.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.         SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.



                                       3

                                     PART II

ITEM 5.         MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 28,811 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 2,148 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, distributions of $1,541,726 and
$518,518, respectively, were made to the limited partners.

ITEM 7.       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
                RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 63% to $2,845,556 for 2000 as
compared to $1,750,425 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. In 2000, 62,796
barrels of oil, 35,028 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 152,075 mcf
of gas were sold, or 123,170 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 61,734
barrels of oil, 39,707 barrels of NGLs and 183,099 mcf of gas were sold, or
131,958 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in
the future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.40, or 73%, from
$17.06 in 1999 to $29.46 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $6.20, or 63%, from $9.81 in 1999 to $16.01 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 70% from $1.68 in 1999 to $2.86 in 2000. The
market price received 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 2000.

Gains on disposition of assets of $6,407 and $8,848 were due to equipment
credits received on one well during 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $1,435,888 compared to $1,264,233
in 1999, an increase of $171,655, or 14%. The increase resulted from increases
in production costs, the impairment of oil and gas properties and general and
administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $1,121,487 in 2000 and $948,362 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $173,125, or 18%. This increase was primarily due to higher
production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well
maintenance and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
63% from $52,563 in 1999 to $85,559 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $73,296 in 2000 and $34,349 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.



                                       5

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $42,807 related to its oil and gas properties during 2000.

Depletion was $186,035 in 2000 as compared to $263,308 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $77,273, or 29%. This decrease was primarily due to a 45,228 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 20% to $1,750,425 from
$1,453,492 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decrease in production. In 1999, 61,734 barrels of oil,
39,707 barrels of NGLs and 183,099 mcf of gas were sold, or 131,958 BOEs. In
1998, 69,905 barrels of oil, 37,470 barrels of NGLs and 179,494 mcf of gas were
sold, or 137,291 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.84, or 29%, from
$13.22 in 1998 to $17.06 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $3.05, or 45%, from $6.76 in 1998 to $9.81 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 9% from $1.54 in 1998 to $1.68 in 1999.

A gain on disposition of assets of $8,848 was recognized during 1999 from
equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. During 1998, a gain on
disposition of assets of $765 was received from the sale of equipment on one
saltwater disposal well plugged and abandoned in a prior year.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $1,264,233 compared to $2,210,330
in 1998, a decrease of $946,097, or 43%. The decrease resulted from declines in
the impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production costs, offset
by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $948,362 in 1999 and $1,068,450 in 1998, resulting in a
$120,088 decrease, or 11%. This decrease was primarily attributable to
reductions in well maintenance costs, workover expenses and ad valorem taxes,
offset by an increase in production taxes due to increased in oil and gas
revenues.

During this period, G&A increased, in aggregate, 23% from $42,787 in 1998 to
$52,563 in 1999 primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing
general partner $34,349 in 1999 and $33,674 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf
of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized a non-cash SFAS 121 charge of $477,501 related to its
oil and gas properties during 1998.


                                       6
   846



Depletion was $263,308 in 1999 compared to $621,592 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $358,284, or 58%. This decrease was the result of a combination of
factors that included an increase in proved reserves of 532,499 barrels of oil
during 1999 as a result of higher commodity prices, a reduction in the
Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS
121 during the fourth quarter of 1998 and a decline in oil production of 8,171
barrels for the period ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period in
1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $934,385 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $1,107,108 and a decline in working capital of
$33,398, offset by increases in production costs paid of $173,125 and G&A
expenses paid of $32,996. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the
increase in commodity prices during 2000 which contributed an additional
$1,239,482 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $132,374 resulting from the
decline in production during 2000. The increase in production costs was
primarily due to increased production taxes associated with higher oil and gas
prices and additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred to stimulate
well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher percentage of
the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were related to the
upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $10,011 and $9,249 received during 2000 and
1999, respectively, were from equipment credits on one well in each year.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $1,557,299, of which $15,573
was distributed to the managing general partner and $1,541,726 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $523,756, of which
$5,238 was distributed to the managing general partner and $518,518 to the
limited partners.

                          (A Texas Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1.      ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 87-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1987 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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.      SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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.


                                       15
   855



        Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.       IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS


        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $42,807 and $477,501
related to its proved oil and gas properties during 2000 and 1998, respectively.

NOTE 4.       INCOME TAXES

        The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $254,091 less than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

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, 2000, 1999 and 1998 and
changes in such quantities during the years then ended. All of the Partnership's
reserves are proved developed and located within the United States. The
Partnership's reserves are based on an evaluation prepared by Williamson
Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent petroleum consultant, using criteria
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.83 per barrel of NGLs and $7.67 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $10,856,000 and undiscounted was
$21,368,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

not have an adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership to sell its oil,
NGLs and gas production.


NOTE 9.      PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of
the limited partnership agreement:

        Managing general partner - The general partner of the Partnership is
        Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA, the managing general partner, has the power
        and authority to manage, control and administer all Program and
        Partnership affairs. As managing general partner and operator of the
        Partnership's properties, all production expenses are incurred by
        Pioneer USA and billed to the Partnership. The majority of the
        Partnership's oil and gas revenues are received directly by the
        Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and gas revenue is initially
        received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to the Partnership. Under
        the limited partnership agreement,



                                       20
   860



        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
        $28,811,000. Pioneer USA 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.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.




(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the partnership.
Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved by the
limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas for the
purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited partners to
Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that counsel and the
form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an exhibit to the
merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2037, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 87-B Conv., Ltd. (the "Partnership") was organized in 1987 as a
general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was converted to a
Texas limited partnership in 1989.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
  and Results of Operations (1)

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Results of Operations

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 5% to $202,782 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $212,568 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decrease in production and a lower

                                        6

   877



average price received for oil, offset by higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 4,828 barrels of oil, 1,562
barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 8,728 mcf of gas were sold, or 7,845
barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30, 2000,
5,308 barrels of oil, 2,838 barrels of NGLs and 11,701 mcf of gas were sold, or
10,096 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.16, or 1%, from $27.30
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.14 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.21, or 15%, from
$15.08 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $17.29 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 141% from $2.13
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $5.13 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $5,439 was received during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 from disposal of equipment on two wells plugged and abandoned
during the current period. Expenses to plug and abandon these wells were $4,243.
For the six months ended June 30, 2000 a gain on disposition of assets of $919
was recognized due to credits received from the disposal of oil and gas
equipment on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $128,747 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $109,009 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$19,738, or 18%. This increase was due to increases in depletion, production
costs and abandoned property costs, offset by a decrease in general and
administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $91,336 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and $84,466
for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $6,870 increase, or 8%. The increase
was due to additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred to stimulate
well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased
16% from $6,307 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $5,272 for the same
period in 2001, due to a lower G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) due to lower oil revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to the same period in 2000.

Depletion was $27,896 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$18,236 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $9,660, or 53%. This
increase was due to a downward revision to proved reserves on one significant
well, offset by a decline in oil production of 480 barrels for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 8% to $93,434 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $101,370 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received for oil and
a decrease in production, offset by higher average prices received for gas and
NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 2,390 barrels of oil, 858
barrels of NGLs and 4,278 mcf of gas were sold, or 3,961 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 2,515 barrels of oil, 1,351 barrels of NGLs and
5,264 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,743 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased slightly from $26.86 for
the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.73 for the same period in 2001. The
average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.42, or 3%, from $14.98
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.40 for the same period in
2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 47% to $3.82 during
the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.59 during the same period in 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $1,426 was received during the three months
ended June 30, 2001 from disposal of equipment on two wells plugged and
abandoned during the current period. Expenses to plug and abandon these wells
were $830.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $57,519 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $56,356 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$1,163, or 2%. This increase was due to increases in depletion and abandoned
property costs, offset by a decrease in G&A and production costs.

Production costs were $44,523 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$44,599 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $76 decrease. The decrease
was due to lower well maintenance costs, offset by an increase in workover costs
incurred to stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 18%, from $2,971 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $2,429 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a lower
G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of
decreased oil and gas revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to the same period in 2000 and a decrease in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $9,737 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$8,786 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $951, or 11%. This increase
was primarily due to a downward revision to proved reserves on one significant
well, offset by a decline in oil production of 125 barrels for the three months
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $37,426 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to reductions of $57,336 in working capital and $1,035 in G&A
expenses, offset by a decline in oil and gas sales receipts of $9,832 and
increases in production costs of $6,870 and abandoned property costs of $4,243.
The decline in G&A was primarily due to less G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) due to lower oil and gas revenues for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The decrease in oil
and gas receipts resulted from a decline of $50,340 in production during 2001 as
compared to the same period in 2000 and a decline in oil prices of $879, offset
by an increase in gas and NGL prices of $41,387 during 2001. The increase in
production costs was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover
costs incurred to stimulate well production.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 were related to equipment upgrades on various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $2,462 and $919 were recognized during
the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The proceeds
recognized during the period in 2001 were from salvage income received on two
wells plugged and abandoned during the current period. The proceeds recognized
during the period in 2000 were primarily from equipment credits received on one
fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$85,129, of which $851 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$84,278 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $112,519, of which $1,125 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $111,394 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge


                                        9

   880


with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.        ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 87-B Conv., Ltd. (the "Partnership") was organized in
1987 as a general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was
converted to a Texas limited partnership in 1989. The Partnership's managing
general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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.        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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.



                                       7
   888

        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.        IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $21,231 and $48,745
related to its proved oil and gas properties during 2000 and 1998, respectively.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.26 per barrel of NGLs and $7.62 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $1,851,000 and undiscounted was $3,947,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NOTE 9.       PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
        manage, control and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As
        managing general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties,
        all production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
        Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
        received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and
        gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to
        the Partnership. 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.



                                       12
   893

        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 partners entered into subscription
        agreements for aggregate capital contributions of $4,919,000. Pioneer
        USA is required to contribute amounts equal to 1% of initial Partnership
        capital less commission and organization and offering costs 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 69% to $469,502 for 2000 as
compared to $278,326 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 10,352
barrels of oil, 5,663 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 23,682 mcf of
gas were sold, or 19,962 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 10,784
barrels of oil, 5,974 barrels of NGLs and 24,436 mcf of gas were sold, or 20,831
BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.60, or 75%, from
$16.71 in 1999 to $29.31 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $7.17, or 74%, from $9.73 in 1999 to $16.90 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 82% from $1.64 in 1999 to $2.98 in 2000. 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 2000.

A gain on disposition of assets of $1,005, recognized during 2000, was
attributable to credits received from the disposal of oil and gas equipment on
one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $243,866 as compared to $213,033
in 1999, an increase of $30,833, or 14%. The increase was primarily due to the
impairment of oil and gas properties and increases in production costs and
general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $172,228 in 2000 and $155,029 in 1999, resulting in a
$17,199 increase, or 11%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production, offset by a decline in workover
expenses.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
69% from $8,214 in 1999 to $13,873 in 2000, primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $12,385 in 2000 and $5,720 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $21,231 related to its oil and gas properties during 2000.

Depletion was $36,534 in 2000 as compared to $49,790 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $13,256, or 27%. This decrease was primarily due to a 2,194 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity

   895

prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 18% to $278,326 from
$236,434 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 10,784 barrels of oil,
5,974 barrels of NGLs and 24,436 mcf of gas were sold, or 20,831 BOEs. In 1998,
12,040 barrels of oil, 5,839 barrels of NGLs and 25,477 mcf of gas were sold, or
22,125 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.54, or 27%, from
$13.17 in 1998 to $16.71 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.91, or 43%, from $6.82 in 1998 to $9.73 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 10% from $1.49 in 1998 to $1.64 in 1999.

A gain on disposition of assets of $3,419 was recognized during 1998 from the
sale of oil and gas equipment on one well abandoned in a prior year. Abandoned
property costs of $965 in 1998 were related to this abandonment.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $213,033 as compared to $324,593
in 1998, a decrease of $111,560, or 34%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in depletion, the impairment of oil and gas properties and abandoned
property costs, offset by increases in production costs and G&A.

Production costs were $155,029 in 1999 and $146,967 in 1998, resulting in an
$8,062 increase, or 5%. The increase was due to increases in well maintenance
costs and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production, offset by a
decline in ad valorem taxes.

During this period, G&A increased 16% from $7,093 in 1998 to $8,214 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $5,720 in
1999 and $5,800 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized a non-cash SFAS 121 charge of $48,745 related to its
oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $49,790 in 1999 compared to $120,823 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $71,033, or 59%. This decrease was the result of a 92,485 barrels of
oil increase in proved reserves during 1999 as a result of higher commodity
prices, a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken
in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998 and a decline in
oil production of 1,256 barrels for the period ended December 31, 1999 compared
to the same period in 1998.

Petroleum Industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $123,838 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $193,203, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $17,199, G&A expenses paid of $5,659 and working capital of $46,507. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $213,360 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $20,157 resulting from the decline in production during 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance costs
incurred to stimulate well production, offset by a decline in workover expense.
The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher percentage of the managing
general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as
a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were
related to expenditures for oil and gas equipment upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $1,059 were comprised of $1,005 received
from salvage income on one fully depleted well and $54 from equipment credits
received on one active well. Proceeds of $1,226 received during 1999 were from
equipment credits received on one temporarily abandoned well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $243,542, of which $2,435 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $241,107 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $90,776, of which
$908 was distributed to the managing general partner and $89,868 to the limited
partners.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as any
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.



(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2037, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 87-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1987 under the laws of the State of Texas.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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, Suite 1400, Texas
75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 5% to $828,175 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $868,113 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decline in production and a decrease in
the average price received for oil, offset by higher average prices received for

                                        7

gas and NGLs. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 19,714 barrels of oil,
6,385 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 35,640 mcf of gas were sold,
or 32,039 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30,
2000, 21,676 barrels of oil, 11,585 barrels of NGLs and 47,808 mcf of gas were
sold, or 41,229 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.16, or 1%, from $27.30
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.14 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.21, or 15%, from
$15.08 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $17.29 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 141% from $2.13
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $5.13 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $22,214 was received during the six months
ended June 30, 2001 from disposal of equipment on two wells plugged and
abandoned during the current period. Expenses to plug and abandon these wells
were $17,332. For the six months ended June 30, 2000 a gain on disposition of
assets of $3,753 was recognized due to credits received from the disposal of oil
and gas equipment on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $525,773 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $445,483 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$80,290, or 18%. This increase was due to increases in depletion, production
costs and abandoned property costs, offset by a decline in general and
administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $373,020 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$344,924 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $28,096 increase, or 8%.
This increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover
costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased
17% from $26,043 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $21,533 from the same
period in 2001, primarily due to less G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil
and gas revenues) due to lower oil and gas revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Depletion was $113,888 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$74,516 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $39,372, or 53%. This
increase was due to a downward revision to proved reserves on one significant
well, offset by a decline in oil production of 1,962 barrels for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 8% to $381,569 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $414,169 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decrease in production and a decline in
the average price received for oil, offset by an increase in the average prices
received for gas and NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 9,762
barrels of oil, 3,497 barrels of NGLs and 17,474 mcf of gas were sold, or 16,171
BOEs. For the three months ended June 30, 2000, 10,284 barrels of oil, 5,499
barrels of NGLs and 21,477 mcf of gas were sold, or 19,363 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased slightly from $26.86
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.73 for the same period in
2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.42, or 3%, from
$14.98 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.40 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 47% from $2.59
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.82 for the same period in
2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $5,825 was received during the three months
ended June 30, 2001 from disposal of equipment on two wells plugged and
abandoned during the current period. Expenses to plug and abandon these wells
were $3,397.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $234,827 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $230,473 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$4,354, or 2%. This increase was due to increases in depletion and abandoned
property costs, offset by decreases in G&A and production costs.

Production costs were $181,811 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$182,083 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $272 decrease. This decrease
was primarily due to lower well maintenance costs, offset by an increase in
workover costs incurred to stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 20%, from $12,425 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $9,921 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to less G&A
being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) due to lower oil and gas
revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period
in 2000 and a decrease in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $39,698 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$35,965 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $3,733, or 10%. This
increase was primarily due to a downward revision to proved reserves on one
significant well, offset by a decline in oil production of 522 barrels for the
three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $120,786 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to reductions of $201,914 in working capital and $4,510 in G&A
expenses, offset by a decline in oil and gas sales receipts of $40,210 and
increases in production costs of $28,096 and abandoned property costs of
$17,332. The decrease in G&A was primarily due to less G&A being allocated
(limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) due to lower oil and gas revenues for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The
decrease in oil and gas receipts resulted from a decline of $205,527 in
production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000 and a decline in
oil prices of $3,615, offset by an increase in gas and NGL prices of $168,932
during 2001. The increase in production costs was primarily due to additional
well maintenance and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 were related to expenditures for oil and gas equipment upgrades on
active properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $10,056 and $3,753 were recognized during
the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Proceeds recognized
during the period in 2001 were due to salvage income received on two wells
plugged and abandoned during the current period. Proceeds recognized during the
period in 2000 were from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$347,671, of which $3,477 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$344,194 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $459,528, of which $4,595 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $454,933 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge


                                       10

   910

with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

   913

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 87-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1987 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").
Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 20,089 limited partnership
interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA supplies all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 49% and 16% was attributable to sales
made to Plains Marketing, L.P. and Phillips Petroleum Company. Pioneer USA is of
the opinion that the loss of any one purchaser would not have an adverse effect
on its ability to sell its oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.
The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that
could expose the Partnership to substantial

                                       2
   914

liability due to pollution and other environmental damages. 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.

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 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
Texas were acquired by the Partnership, resulting in the Partnership's
participation in the drilling of 64 oil and gas wells. At December 31, 2000, 49
wells were producing; one well was a dry hole from a previous year; five wells
have been plugged and abandoned and nine wells were sold.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.  SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

ITEM 5.  MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
          DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 20,089 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 1,468 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, distributions of $984,669 and
$367,015, respectively, were made to the limited partners.

ITEM 7.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
          OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 69% to $1,917,791 for 2000 as
compared to $1,136,700 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 42,280
barrels of oil, 23,121 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 96,740 mcf of
gas were sold, or 81,524 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 44,029
barrels of oil, 24,404 barrels of NGLs and 99,771 mcf of gas were sold, or
85,062 BOEs. 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 $12.60, or 75%, from
$16.71 in 1999 to $29.31 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $7.17, or 74%, from $9.73 in 1999 to $16.90 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 82% from $1.64 in 1999 to $2.98 in 2000. The
market price received 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 2000.

A gain on disposition of assets of $4,102, recognized during 2000, was
attributable to credits received from the disposal of oil and gas equipment on
one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $997,051 as compared to $870,434
in 1999, an increase of $126,617, or 15%. The increase was primarily due to the
impairment of oil and gas properties and increases in production costs and
general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $703,352 in 2000 and $633,091 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $70,261, or 11%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate production, offset by a decline in workover
expenses.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
69% from $34,237 in 1999 to $57,746 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $50,579 in 2000 and $23,361 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated

                                       5

to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $86,674 related to its oil and gas properties during 2000.

Depletion was $149,279 in 2000 compared to $203,106 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $53,827, or 27%. The decrease was primarily due to an 8,836 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 18% to $1,136,700 from
$965,599 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 44,029 barrels of oil,
24,404 barrels of NGLs and 99,771 mcf of gas were sold, or 85,062 BOEs. In 1998,
49,182 barrels of oil, 23,854 barrels of NGLs and 104,072 mcf of gas were sold,
or 90,381 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.54, or 27%, from
$13.17 in 1998 to $16.71 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.91, or 43%, from $6.82 in 1998 to $9.73 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 10% from $1.49 in 1998 to $1.64 in 1999.

A gain on disposition of assets of $13,965 was received during 1998 from the
sale of oil and gas equipment on one well abandoned in a prior year. Abandoned
property costs of $3,943 were incurred in 1998. These costs were attributable to
the plugging and abandonment of one uneconomical well in a prior year.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $870,434 as compared to $1,326,204
in 1998, a decrease of $455,770, or 34%. The decrease was due to declines in
depletion, the impairment of oil and gas properties and abandoned property
costs, offset by increases in production costs and G&A.

Production costs were $633,091 in 1999 and $600,702 in 1998, resulting in a
$32,389 increase, or 5%. The increase was due to increases in well maintenance
costs and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production, offset by a
decline in ad valorem taxes.

During this period, G&A increased 18% from $28,968 in 1998 to $34,237 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $23,361 in
1999 and $23,688 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized a non-cash SFAS 121 charge of $199,037 related to its
oil and gas

                                       6
   918

properties during 1998.

Depletion was $203,106 in 1999 compared to $493,554 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $290,448, or 59%. The decrease was the result of a combination of
factors that included an increase in proved reserves of 377,754 barrels of oil
during 1999 as a result of higher commodity prices, a reduction in the
Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS
121 during the fourth quarter of 1998 and a decline in oil production of 5,153
barrels for the period ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period in
1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $569,152 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $789,348, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $70,261, G&A expenses paid of $23,509 and working capital of $126,426. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $871,310 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $81,962 resulting from the decline in production during 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance costs
incurred to stimulate well production, offset by a decline in workover expenses.
The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher percentage of the managing
general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as
a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were related to
expenditures for oil and gas equipment upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $4,326 and $5,007 were received during 2000
and 1999, respectively. The proceeds of $4,326 were due to $4,102 salvage income
on one fully depleted well

                                       7
   919

and the remaining $224 on equipment credits received on an active well. The
proceeds of $5,007 were due to equipment credits received on one temporarily
abandoned well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $994,615, of which $9,946 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $984,669 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $370,722, of which
$3,707 was distributed to the managing general partner and $367,015 to the
limited partners.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1.  ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

      Parker & Parsley 87-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1987 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

      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.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

      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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

      Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

      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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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

                                       15
   927

respective partners.

      Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

      Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

      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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

      Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.  IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and gas
properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a decline
in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of its
oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on proved
reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $86,674 and $199,037
related to its proved oil and gas properties during 2000 and 1998, respectively.

NOTE 4.  INCOME TAXES

liabilities was $261,429 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

    As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net revenues
of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64 per
barrel of oil, $13.26 per barrel of NGLs and $7.62 per mcf of gas, discounted at
10% was approximately $7,561,000 and undiscounted was $16,119,000.

      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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

     The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by
applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

     Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

have an adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership to sell its oil, NGLs
and gas production.

NOTE 9.  PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

       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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to manage, control
      and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As managing general
      partner and operator of the Partnership's properties, all production
      expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the Partnership. The
      majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are received directly
      by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and gas revenue is
      initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to the Partnership.
      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.

                                       20
   932

      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
      $20,089,000. Pioneer USA 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.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.



(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Not applicable. Since this partnership purchased producing properties,
     there were no intangible drilling and development costs nor any related
     write-off for tax purposes.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2037, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership organized in 1987 under the laws of the State of Texas.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 2% to $708,005 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $695,926 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs, offset by a decline in production and lower average prices received
for oil. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 20,840 barrels of oil, 3,745


                                        7

   950



barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 24,458 mcf of gas were sold, or
28,661 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30,
2000, 21,685 barrels of oil, 4,984 barrels of NGLs and 22,894 mcf of gas were
sold, or 30,485 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.19, or 1%, from $27.33
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.14 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.43, or 4%, from $11.41
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $11.84 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per mcf of gas increased 98% from $2.03 for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.01 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Gains on disposition of assets of $39,237 and $24,345 were recognized during the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The gain recognized
during the period ended June 30, 2001 was due to $25,956 from equipment credits
on one well plugged and abandoned in the current period and $13,281 was
primarily due to equipment credits received on fully depleted wells. The gain
recognized during the period ended June 30, 2000 was comprised of $10,858 from
equipment credits on one well plugged and abandoned in the current period and
$13,487 salvage income primarily from wells plugged and abandoned during 1999.
Expenses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 to plug and
abandon these wells were $17,463 and $13,069, respectively.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $405,148 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $427,095 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $21,947,
or 5%. This decrease was the result of lower production costs and depletion,
offset by increases in abandoned property costs and general and administrative
expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $333,829 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$359,931 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $26,102 decrease, or 7%.
The decrease was primarily due to a decline in workover expense, offset by
additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
15% from $20,878 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $23,975 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $29,881 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$33,217 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $3,336, or 10%. This decrease
was primarily due to 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 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 1% to $324,594 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $329,057 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received for oil and
NGLs and a decline in production, offset by higher average prices received for
gas. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 9,760 barrels of oil, 1,965
barrels of NGLs and 12,708 mcf of gas were sold, or 13,843 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 9,809 barrels of oil, 2,987 barrels of NGLs and
13,759 mcf of gas were sold, or 15,089 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.41, or 2%, from $27.16
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.75 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased $.61, or 6%, from $11.07
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $10.46 for the same period in
2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 57% from $2.15 during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.38 for the same period in 2001.

Gains on disposition of assets of $11,917 and $8,716 were recognized for the
three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The gain recognized
during the period ended June 30, 2001 was due to equipment credits received on
fully depleted wells. The gain recognized during the period ended June 30, 2000,
consisted of $4,981 from equipment credits received on a fully depleted well and
$3,735 salvage income on a well plugged and abandoned during 1999. Expenses
incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000 to plug and
abandon these wells totaled $5,192 and $286, respectively.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $196,038 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $225,996 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of
$29,958, or 13%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs and
depletion, offset by increases in abandoned property costs and G&A.

Production costs were $163,644 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$200,770 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $37,126 decrease, or 18%.
The decrease was primarily due to less workover expense.

During this period, G&A increased 26% from $9,872 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $12,473 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an
increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $14,729 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$15,068 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $339, or 2%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $136,279 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was
attributable to an increase of $11,577 in oil and gas sales receipts, a
reduction of $106,091 in working capital and a decline of $26,102 in production
costs, offset by increases in abandoned property costs of $4,394 and G&A
expenses of $3,097. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the
increase in gas and NGL prices of $47,580 during 2001, offset by a decline of
$31,828 in production and a $4,175 decline resulting from lower oil prices
received in 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The decrease in
production costs was primarily due to a decline in workover expenses, offset by
additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production. The
increase in G&A was primarily due to an increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 were related to upgrade expenditures for oil and gas
equipment on active properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $23,433 and $34,391 were received during
the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The proceeds
recognized during the period in 2001 were comprised of $10,152 from equipment
credits on one well plugged and abandoned during the current period and $13,281
was from salvage income on fully depleted wells. The proceeds recognized during
the period in 2000 were primarily from equipment credits on wells plugged and
abandoned during 2000 and 1999.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$265,310, of which $2,653 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$262,657 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $301,342, of which $3,013 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $298,329 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the

                                       10

   953




agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

ITEM 1.       BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership organized in 1987 under the laws of the State of Texas. The
Partnership's managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.
("Pioneer USA"). Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural
Resources Company ("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 24,426
limited partnership interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA supplies all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 59%, 15% and 11% were attributable to
sales made to Plains Marketing, L.P., Phillips Petroleum Company and TEPPCO
Crude Oil LLC, respectively. Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any
one purchaser would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil,
natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.

The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and

                                       2
   957

ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that could expose the
Partnership to substantial liability due to pollution and other environmental
damages. 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.

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 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.

The Partnership completed seven purchases of producing properties. These
acquisitions involved the purchase of working interests in 187 properties of
which 98 uneconomical oil and gas wells were plugged and abandoned and seven
wells were sold. The Partnership also participated in the drilling of two oil
and gas wells during 1988 which were completed as producers. During 1997, the
Partnership participated in the recompletion of one well in which Pioneer USA
acquired the deep rights. The Partnership already owned the shallow rights of
the well bore. At December 31, 2000, the Partnership had 85 producing oil and
gas wells.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.     SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

ITEM 5.         MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                 DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 24,426 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 1,104 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, distributions of $618,681 and
$223,952, respectively, were made to the limited partners.

               RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 76% to $1,514,918 for 2000 as
compared to $860,305 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 43,390
barrels of oil, 10,266 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 45,872 mcf of
gas were sold, or 61,301 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 41,606
barrels of oil, 11,495 barrels of NGLs and 53,145 mcf of gas were sold, or
61,959 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.54, or 75%, from
$16.80 in 1999 to $29.34 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $4.80, or 66%, from $7.32 in 1999 to $12.12 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 75% from $1.46 in 1999 to $2.56 in 2000. 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 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $37,944 recognized during 2000 resulted from
$26,860 in salvage income received on a fully depleted well and wells plugged
and abandoned in prior years, in addition to an $11,084 gain recognized from the
abandonment of three wells during the current year. Gain on disposition of
assets of $25,173 for 1999 resulted from $17,629 in salvage income received on
the abandonment of two oil and gas wells during 1999, in addition to $7,544
salvage income received on fully depleted wells and wells plugged and abandoned
in prior years.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $967,456 as compared to $760,971
in 1999, an increase of $206,485, or 27%. The increase was due to higher
production costs, general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), the impairment of
oil and gas properties and abandoned property costs, offset by a decline in
depletion.

Production costs were $765,021 in 2000 and $555,988 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $209,033, or 38%. The increase was primarily due to additional
workover costs and well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate production and
higher production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
76%, from $25,809 in 1999 to $45,448 in 2000 primarily due to a higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The
Partnership paid the managing general partner $29,711 in 2000 and $1,550 in 1999
for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid
directly by the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the
allocated expenses based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative
to the non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized
non-cash charges of $59,777 and $43,412 related to its oil and gas properties
during 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Depletion was $69,296 in 2000 as compared to $109,034 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $39,738, or 36%. This decrease was primarily due to a 119,706
barrels of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1999.

Abandoned property costs of $27,914 and $26,728 were incurred on the abandonment
of several properties in 2000 and 1999, respectively.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 7% to $860,305 from
$807,421 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 41,606 barrels of oil,
11,495 barrels of NGLs and 53,145 mcf of gas were sold, or 61,959 BOEs. In 1998,
51,039 barrels of oil, 13,328 barrels of NGLs and 56,240 mcf of gas were sold,
or 73,740 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.76, or 29%, from
$13.04 in 1998 to $16.80 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $1.86, or 34%, from $5.46 in 1998 to $7.32 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 19% from $1.23 in 1998 to $1.46 in 1999.

The $25,173 gain on disposition of assets for 1999 resulted from $17,629 in
salvage income received on the abandonment of two oil and gas wells during 1999,
in addition to $7,544 salvage income received on fully depleted wells and wells
plugged and abandoned in prior years. During 1998, the $24,040 gain on
disposition of assets resulted from $29,099 in salvage income received during
1998 on properties that were plugged and abandoned in prior years, offset by a
$5,059 loss on the abandonment of two oil and gas wells and one saltwater
disposal well.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $760,971 as compared to $1,202,296
in 1998, a decrease of $441,325, or 37%. The decrease was due to declines in
depletion, production costs and abandoned property costs, offset by increases in
the impairment of oil and gas properties and G&A.

Production costs were $555,988 in 1999 and $682,634 in 1998, resulting in a
$126,646 decrease, or 19%. The decrease was due to reductions in well
maintenance costs and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in workover costs
incurred to stimulate production.

During this period, G&A increased 7%, from $24,223 in 1998 to $25,809 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and



                                       6
   961
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $1,550 in 1999 and $10,723 in 1998 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized non-cash SFAS 121 charges of $43,412 and $37,388
related to its oil and gas properties during 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Depletion was $109,034 in 1999 compared to $383,398 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $274,364, or 72%. This decrease was the result of an increase in
proved reserves of 306,417 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices, a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998 and
a decline in oil production of 9,433 barrels for the period ended December 31,
1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

Abandoned property costs of $26,728 and $74,653 were incurred on the abandonment
of several properties in 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $389,055 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $660,529, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $209,033, G&A expenses paid of $19,639, abandoned property costs paid of
$1,186 and working capital of $41,616. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2000 which contributed an
additional $641,727 to oil and gas receipts and an increase of $18,802 resulting
from an increase in oil production during 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. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

                                       7
   962

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were related to the
addition of oil and gas equipment on active properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $57,999 for 2000 resulted from $36,906
salvage income on a fully depleted well and wells abandoned in a prior year,
$15,711 salvage income received on two wells plugged and abandoned in 2000 and
$5,382 from equipment credits on one active well. Proceeds from disposition of
assets of $21,887 for 1999 resulted from $7,583 in salvage income received on
one well plugged and abandoned during 1999, in addition to $7,544 salvage income
primarily received on fully depleted wells and $6,760 from equipment credits on
one active well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $624,930, of which $6,249 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $618,681 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $226,214, of which
$2,262 was distributed to the managing general partner and $223,952 to the
limited partners.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.       ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

      Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership organized in 1987 under the laws of the State of Texas. The
Partnership's managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.
("Pioneer USA").

      The Partnership engages in oil and gas 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:

      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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

      Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

      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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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 (loss) of the Partnership is included in the
individual Federal income tax returns of the

                                       15
   970

respective partners.

      Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

      Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

      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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of the cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

      Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.      IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and gas
properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a decline
in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of its
oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on proved
reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $59,777, $43,412 and
$37,388 related to its proved oil and gas properties during 2000, 1999 and 1998,
respectively.

      As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $12.58 per barrel of NGLs and $7.60 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $4,683,000 and undiscounted was $9,322,000.

      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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

     The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by
applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

     Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

----------

(a) Stated in thousands.


(b) The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
    value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
    and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
    2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
    expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
    cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c) Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
    $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
    investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should not
    assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the value
    or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d) The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
    (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
    during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
    the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the operating
    period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as in the
    merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
    administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
    the partnership to its partners.



(e) The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
    partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
    which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share of
    the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3% of
    the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July 13,
    2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses represent
    estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell the assets
    of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs associated with
    such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the partnership.


(f) Not applicable. Since this partnership purchased producing properties, there
    were no intangible drilling and development costs nor any related write-off
    for tax purposes.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

    The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and (2)
neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

    The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2037, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership organized in 1987 under the laws of the State of Texas.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
             and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 7% to $435,162 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $469,537 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decline in production and lower average
prices received for oil, offset by higher average prices received for gas and

                                        7

   993



NGLs. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 10,264 barrels of oil, 3,788
barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 19,481 mcf of gas were sold, or
17,299 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30,
2000, 11,962 barrels of oil, 5,429 barrels of NGLs and 26,130 mcf of gas were
sold, or 21,746 BOEs. Of the decrease, 1,740 BOEs are attributable to the fact
that on April 1, 2000 the Partnership's revenue and operating expense allocation
reverted to 80.808081% from 95.959595% pursuant to the Program agreement
governing the Partnership which provides for a reversionary interest of
80.808081% once cumulative distributions equal initial partners' capital
("Reversionary Interest").

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $1.07, or 4%, from $27.96
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.89 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.22, or 15%, from
$14.82 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $17.04 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 133% to $4.86 for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to $2.09 for the same period in
2000. 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $8,294 was recognized during the six months
ended June 30, 2000. The gain was due to equipment credits received on fully
depleted wells.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $240,127 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $225,044 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$15,083, or 7%. This increase was due to an increase in production costs, offset
by declines in depletion and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $209,886 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$192,129 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $17,757 increase, or 9%. A
20% increase in production costs resulted from higher well maintenance and
workover costs incurred to stimulate well production, offset by an 11% decline
in lease operating costs and production taxes attributable to the Reversionary
Interest change.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased
7% from $14,086 for the six months ended June 30, 2000, to $13,055 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to the Reversionary Interest change as noted
above.

Depletion was $17,186 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$18,829 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $1,643, or 9%. This decrease
was primarily due to a decrease in oil production of 1,698 barrels for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 4% to $197,119 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $205,745 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received for oil and
a decrease in production, offset by higher average prices received for gas and
NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 4,872 barrels of oil, 2,038
barrels of NGLs and 9,647 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,518 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 4,955 barrels of oil, 2,418 barrels of NGLs and
11,575 mcf of gas were sold, or 9,302 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $1.93, or 7%, from $28.54
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.61 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.61, or 4%, from $14.68
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.29 for the same period in
2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 51% from $2.49 during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.77 for the same period in 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $135,925 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $96,968 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$38,957, or 40%. This increase was due to higher production costs, offset by
decreases in depletion and G&A.

Production costs were $122,377 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$82,693 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $39,684 increase, or 48%.
The increase was the result of additional well maintenance and workover costs
incurred to stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 4% from $6,172 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 to $5,914 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to decreased audit
and tax fees.

Depletion was $7,634 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$8,103 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $469, or 6%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $15,414 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period in 2000. This decrease was due
to a reduction in oil and gas receipts of $34,658 and an increase in production
costs of $17,757, offset by a decrease in G&A expenses of $1,031 and a reduction
in working capital of $35,970. The increase in production costs was primarily
due to higher well maintenance and workover costs incurred to stimulate well
production, offset by the Reversionary Interest change. The decrease in oil and
gas sales receipts resulted from a decline of $106,201 in production in 2001 as


                                        9

   995



compared to the same period in 2000 and a decline in oil prices of $12,792,
offset by an increase in gas and NGL prices of $84,335 during 2001. The decrease
in G&A was primarily due to the Reversionary Interest change.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 were related to expenditures for upgrades of oil and gas equipment
on active properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $13,944 were received for the six months
ending June 30, 2000. The proceeds were primarily from equipment credits on
fully depleted wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$169,535, of which $1,695 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$167,840 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $265,842, of which $2,658 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $263,184 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because

                                       10

it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.       BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership organized in 1987 under the laws of the state of Texas. The
Partnership's managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.
("Pioneer USA"). Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural
Resources Company ("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 12,191
limited partnership interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA supplies all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 32%, 22% and 20% were attributable to
sales made to Plains Marketing, L.P., TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC and Phillips
Petroleum Company, respectively. Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of
any one purchaser would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its
oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.

The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that
could expose the Partnership to substantial liability due to pollution and other
environmental damages. Although the Partnership believes that

                                       2
   1000

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.

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 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.

The Partnership completed seven purchases of producing properties. These
acquisitions involved the purchase of working interests in 54 properties. The
Partnership also participated in the drilling of two oil and gas wells during
1988 which were completed as producers. Additionally, the Partnership purchased
15 overriding royalty interests effective January 1, 1990 and two additional
overriding royalty interests during 1991. Twenty-two uneconomical wells have
been abandoned. At December 31, 2000, the Partnership had 34 producing oil and
gas wells.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.      LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.         SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

ITEM 5.         MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                 DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 12,191 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 550 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, $586,016 and $170,405, 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

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 57% to $982,604 for 2000 as
compared to $625,861 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 22,713
barrels of oil, 10,402 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 49,380 mcf of
gas were sold, or 41,345 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 24,976
barrels of oil, 10,794 barrels of NGLs and 48,774 mcf of gas were sold, or
43,899 BOEs. Of the decrease, 5,393 BOEs are attributable to the fact that on
April 1, 2000, the Partnership's revenue and operating expense allocation
reverted to 80.808081% from 95.959595% pursuant to the Program Agreement
governing the Partnership which provides for a reversionary interest of
80.808081% once cumulative distributions equal initial partner's capital
("Reversionary Interest"). This is offset by a production increase of 2,839
BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $11.92, or 68%, from
$17.44 in 1999 to $29.36 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $6.36, or 62%, from $10.32 in 1999 to $16.68 in 2000. The average
price received per mcf of gas increased 78% from $1.62 in 1999 to $2.88 in 2000.
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 2000.

Gains on disposition of assets of $8,294 and $11,482 were recognized in 2000 and
1999, respectively. The gain from 2000 was from equipment salvage on one well
abandoned in a prior year. The gain from 1999 was from equipment salvage of
$12,955 on one well plugged and abandoned in a prior year, offset by a $1,473
loss on the write-off of basis on one well plugged and abandoned during 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 2000 to $434,793 as compared to $477,552
in 1999, a decrease of $42,759, or 9%. The decrease was primarily attributable
to declines in depletion, production costs and abandoned property costs, offset
by an increase in general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $347,938 in 2000 and $364,187 in 1999, resulting in a
decrease of $16,249, or 4%. Lease operating costs and production taxes declined
12% which was attributable to the Reversionary Interest change, offset by an 8%
increase in production costs resulting from high production taxes due to higher
oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate
well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
79%, from $18,776 in 1999 to

$33,521 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing
general partner $27,424 in 2000 and $8,400 in 1999 for G&A incurred on behalf of
the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by the Partnership. The
managing general partner determines the allocated expenses based upon the level
of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities of the
managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent over the
past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect changes in
Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

Depletion was $53,334 in 2000 as compared to $79,975 in 1999, a decrease of
$26,641, or 33%. This decrease was primarily due to a 51,092 barrels of oil
increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity prices.

Abandoned property costs of $14,614 incurred in 1999 were related to the
temporary abandonment of one well during 1999 and two wells plugged and
abandoned in prior years.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 18% to $625,861 from
$532,606 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 24,976 barrels of oil,
10,794 barrels of NGLs and 48,774 mcf of gas were sold, or 43,899 BOEs. In 1998,
29,481 barrels of oil, 11,315 barrels of NGLs and 50,220 mcf of gas were sold,
or 49,166 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $4.39, or 34%, from
$13.05 in 1998 to $17.44 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $3.74, or 57%, from $6.58 in 1998 to $10.32 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 11% from $1.46 in 1998 to $1.62 in 1999.

Gain on disposition of assets of $11,482 was recognized in 1999 from equipment
salvage of $12,955 on one well plugged and abandoned in a prior year, offset by
a $1,473 loss on the write-off of basis on one well plugged and abandoned during
1999. In 1998, $4,248 gain on disposition of assets was recognized from proceeds
received from equipment salvage on wells plugged in prior years.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $477,552 as compared to $659,670
in 1998, a decrease of $182,118, or 28%. The decrease was primarily attributable
to declines in depletion, the impairment of oil and gas properties, production
costs and abandoned property costs, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $364,187 in 1999 and $385,648 in 1998, resulting in a
$21,461 decrease, or 6%. The decrease was the result of declines in well
maintenance costs, ad valorem taxes and workover expenses.

During this period, G&A increased 18% from $15,978 in 1998 to $18,776 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $8,400 in
1999 and $9,662 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

                                       6

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $35,017 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $79,975 in 1999 compared to $206,289 in 1998, a decrease of
$126,314, or 61%. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in proved
reserves of 180,622 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher commodity
prices, a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken
in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998 and a decline in
oil production of 4,505 barrels for the period ended December 31, 1999 compared
to the same period in 1998.

Abandoned property costs of $14,614 incurred in 1999 were related to the
temporary abandonment of one well during 1999 and two wells plugged and
abandoned in prior years. Expenses of $16,738 were incurred in 1998 to plug and
abandon one oil and gas well which was temporarily abandoned in a prior year.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $392,559 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $359,902 and declines in production costs paid of
$16,249, abandoned property costs paid of $14,614 and working capital of
$16,539, offset by an increase in G&A expenses paid of $14,745. The increase in
oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2000
which contributed an additional $431,139 to oil and gas receipts, offset by
$71,237 resulting from the decline in production during 2000. The decrease in
production costs was primarily due to the Reversionary Interest change, offset
by higher production taxes associated with high oil and gas prices and
additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production. The
increase in G&A was primarily due to higher percentage of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 1999 were primarily for
expenditures related to upgrades of equipment on various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds of $13,943 and $12,956 were recognized during 2000 and 1999,
respectively, from equipment salvage on wells abandoned in prior years.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $591,935, of which $5,919 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $586,016 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $172,065, of which
$1,660 was distributed to the managing general partner and $170,405 to the
limited partners.

                PARKER & PARSLEY PRODUCING PROPERTIES 87-B, LTD.
                          (A Texas Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1.       ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

      Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-B, Ltd. (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership organized in 1987 under the laws of the State of Texas. The
Partnership's managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.
("Pioneer USA").

      The Partnership engages in oil and gas 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:

      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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

      Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

      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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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.

                                       15
   1013

      Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

      Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

      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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

      Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.      IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and gas
properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a decline
in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of its
oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on proved
reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $35,017 related to its
proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

    As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net revenues
of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.63 per
barrel of oil, $13.33 per barrel of NGLs and $7.67 per mcf of gas, discounted at
10% was approximately $4,413,000 and undiscounted was $9,495,000.

      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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

     The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by
applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

     Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NOTE 9.      PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

      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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to manage, control
      and administer all Partnership affairs. As managing general partner and
      operator of the Partnership's properties, all production expenses are
      incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the Partnership. The majority of the
      Partnership's oil and gas revenues are received directly by the
      Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and gas revenue is initially
      received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to the Partnership. 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 $6,095,500.
      Pioneer USA 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.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.




(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the partnership.
Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved by the
limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas for the
purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited partners to
Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that counsel and the
form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an exhibit to the
merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2037, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 2001
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley Private Investment 87, Ltd. (the "Partnership") was organized
in 1987 as a general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was
converted to a Texas limited partnership in 1989.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
  and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 25% to $562,276 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $450,055 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas

                                        6

   1035



and NGLs and an increase in production, offset by a decline in average prices
received for oil. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 13,100 barrels of oil,
5,041 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 25,756 mcf of gas were sold,
or 22,434 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30,
2000, 11,148 barrels of oil, 5,758 barrels of NGLs and 23,896 mcf of gas were
sold, or 20,889 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $1.15, or 4%, from $28.16
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.01 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.57, or 18%, from
$14.34 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.91 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 113% from $2.24
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.78 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 six months ended June 30,
2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $15,200 was recognized during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 resulting from equipment credits received on one fully
depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $282,401 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $254,248 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$28,153, or 11%. This increase was due to increases in production costs,
depletion and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $222,273 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$201,495 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $20,778 increase, or 10%.
The increase was due to additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred
to stimulate well production and higher production taxes due to higher gas and
NGL prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
8%, from $13,502 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $14,619 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $45,509 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$39,251 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $6,258, or 16%. This
increase was due to an increase in oil production of 1,952 barrels for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 28% to $267,604 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $209,122 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs and an increase in production, offset by a decline in average prices
received for oil. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 6,252 barrels of
oil, 3,003 barrels of NGLs and 14,371 mcf of gas were sold, or 11,650 BOEs. For
the three months ended June 30, 2000, 4,518 barrels of oil, 3,059 barrels of
NGLs and 12,350 mcf of gas were sold, or 9,635 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $2.84, or 10%, from
$29.73 for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.89 for the three months
ended June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased
$1.17, or 8%, from $13.97 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.14
for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased
45% to $3.76 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.60 during the
same period in 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $262 was recognized during the three months
ended June 30, 2000 from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $142,572 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $120,598 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$21,974, or 18%. This increase was due to increases in production costs,
depletion and G&A.

Production costs were $111,039 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$96,847 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $14,192 increase, or 15%.
This increase was due to additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred
to stimulate well production and higher production taxes due to higher gas and
NGL prices.

During this period, G&A increased 10%, from $6,274 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $6,918 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a higher
allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Depletion was $24,615 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to
$17,477 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $7,138, or 41%. This
increase was attributable to an increase in oil production of 1,734 barrels for
the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $118,797 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $111,691 and a
reduction in working capital of $29,001, offset by increases in production costs
of $20,778 and G&A expenses of $1,117. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from an increase in gas and NGL prices during 2001 which contributed an
additional $75,534 to oil and gas receipts and $48,968 resulting from the
increase in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000,
offset by a decline of $12,811 due to decreased oil prices during 2001 as
compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in production costs was
primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred to
stimulate well production and increased production taxes associated with higher
gas and NGL prices. The increase in G&A was primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in
audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 were for expenditures related to oil and gas equipment upgrades on
various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $13,707 and $25,096 recognized during the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The proceeds recognized
during the period in 2001 were from equipment credits received on a temporarily
abandoned well. The proceeds recognized during the period in 2000 consisted of
$15,200 from equipment credits on one fully depleted well and $9,896 from
credits on one active property.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$194,342, of which $1,943 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$192,399 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $272,447, of which $2,724 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $269,723 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001,  Pioneer Natural Resources Company  ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission  Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy  statement/prospectus"),
which  proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer,  Pioneer  Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"),  a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer,  and

                                        9

   1038


46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley Private Investment 87, Ltd. (the "Partnership") was
organized in 1987 as a general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas
and was converted to a Texas limited partnership in 1989. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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.



                                       7
   1046

        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted and the timing
of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $176,587 related to
its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.67 per barrel of NGLs and $7.76 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $5,193,000 and undiscounted was $12,461,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

       The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

       Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NOTE 9. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of
the Partnership agreement:

        Managing general partner - The managing general partner of the
        Partnership is Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
        manage, control and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As
        managing general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties,
        all production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
        Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
        received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and
        gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being




                                       12
   1051

        paid to the Partnership. 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. The managing general partner is also
        responsible for 1% of the guaranty and loan commitment fees. 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 partners entered into subscription
        agreements for aggregate capital contributions of $10,480,000.
        Contributions aggregating $2,822,500 were received directly from the
        partners in cash and the remainder was made available to the limited
        partners by a financial institution. Pioneer USA is required to
        contribute amounts equal to 1% of initial Partnership capital less
        commission and organization and offering costs 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 54% to $1,035,947 for 2000 as
compared to $674,794 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 24,016
barrels of oil, 11,226 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 48,307 mcf of
gas were sold, or 43,293 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 27,432
barrels of oil, 13,063 barrels of NGLs and 52,874 mcf of gas were sold, or
49,307 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.74, or 76%, from
$16.82 in 1999 to $29.56 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $6.76, or 72%, from $9.41 in 1999 to $16.17 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 75% from $1.71 in 1999 to $2.99 in 2000. 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 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $15,201 during 2000 was attributable to salvage
income received on two wells plugged and abandoned during 1999. Gain on
disposition of assets of $20,924 during 1999 was from salvage value received on
equipment from two wells plugged and abandoned during 1999. Abandoned property
costs of $20,129 were incurred during 1999 related to the plugging of these two
wells.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $505,407 as compared to $497,201
in 1999, an increase of $8,206, or 2%. The increase was primarily due to
increases in production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"),
offset by declines in depletion and abandoned property costs.

Production costs were $395,308 in 2000 and $333,765 in 1999, resulting in a
$61,543 increase, or 18%. The increase was due to additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production and higher 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 increased
54% from $20,244 in 1999 to $31,079 in 2000, primarily due to a higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The
Partnership paid the managing general partner $27,190 in 2000 and $13,954 in
1999 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid
directly by the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the
allocated expenses based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative
to the non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

Depletion was $79,020 in 2000 as compared to $123,063 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $44,043, or 36%. This decrease was primarily due to a 114,527
barrels of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a decline in oil production of 3,416 barrels for the period
ended December 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.


   1053

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 19% to $674,794 from
$568,014 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 27,432 barrels of oil,
13,063 barrels of NGLs and 52,874 mcf of gas were sold, or 49,307 BOEs. In 1998,
30,005 barrels of oil, 12,796 barrels of NGLs and 58,036 mcf of gas were sold,
or 52,474 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.77, or 29%, from
$13.05 in 1998 to $16.82 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.86, or 44%, from $6.55 in 1998 to $9.41 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 8% from $1.59 in 1998 to $1.71 in 1999.

Gain on disposition of assets of $20,924 during 1999 was from salvage value
received on equipment from two wells plugged and abandoned during 1999.
Abandoned property costs of $20,129 were incurred during 1999 related to the
plugging of these two wells.

Miscellaneous income of $27,020 during 1998 consisted of the write-off of
amounts previously recorded as accounts payable. These amounts were set aside
until the Partnership reconciled payments for the initial capital contributions.
Once these payments were reconciled, the liability was eliminated and the cash
distributed to the partners.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $497,201 as compared to $810,102
in 1998, a decrease of $312,901, or 39%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production
costs, offset by increases in abandoned property costs and G&A.

Production costs were $333,765 in 1999 and $357,125 in 1998, resulting in a
$23,360 decrease, or 7%. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs and ad valorem taxes.

During this period, G&A increased 19% from $17,041 in 1998 to $20,244 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $13,954 in
1999 and $13,315 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $176,587 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $123,063 in 1999 compared to $259,349 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $136,286, or 53%. This decrease was the result of an increase in
proved reserves of 239,857 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $254,339 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $366,174 and a decline in abandoned property costs of
$20,129, offset by increases in production costs paid of $61,543, G&A expenses
paid of $10,835 and working capital of $59,586. The increase in oil and gas
receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2000 which
contributed an additional $510,519 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $144,345
resulting from the decline in production during 2000. The increase in production
costs was primarily due to increased production taxes associated with higher oil
and gas prices and additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well
production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher percentage of the
managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on several oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $15,201 received in 2000 were related to
salvage income received on two wells plugged and abandoned during 1999. Proceeds
from asset dispositions of $17,049 received in 1999 were from equipment credits
of $10,226 received on two wells plugged and abandoned during 1999 and equipment
credits of $6,823 received on two active wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $591,830, of which $5,918 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $585,912 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $258,205, of which
$2,582 was distributed to the managing general partner and $255,623 to the
limited partners.

----------


(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.



(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2038, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 88-A Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized in 1988 as a
general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was converted to a
Delaware limited partnership in 1989.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
   and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 21% to $226,051 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $187,130 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas

                                        6

   1064



and NGLs and an increase in production, offset by lower average prices received
for oil. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 5,145 barrels of oil, 1,881
barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 14,063 mcf of gas were sold, or
9,370 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30,
2000, 4,413 barrels of oil, 2,745 barrels of NGLs and 10,700 mcf of gas were
sold, or 8,941 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $2.10, or 7%, from $28.50
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.40 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.38, or 17%, from
$13.81 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.19 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 94% from $2.19 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.25 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $76 was recognized during the six months ended
June 30, 2000 resulting from equipment credits received on one fully depleted
well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $111,954 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $103,508 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $8,446,
or 8%. This increase was due to increases in depletion, production costs and
general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $86,072 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and $83,567
for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $2,505 increase, or 3%. This
increase was due to additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well
production and higher production taxes due to higher oil and gas prices, offset
by lower workover costs.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
21% from $5,614 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $6,782 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $19,100 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$14,327 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $4,773, or 33%. This
increase was due to a decrease in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices and an increase in oil production of 732
barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in
2000.


                                        7

   1065



Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 6% to $92,519 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $98,008 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received for oil and
a decrease in production, offset by higher average prices received for gas and
NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 2,189 barrels of oil, 954
barrels of NGLs and 5,418 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,046 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 2,104 barrels of oil, 1,558 barrels of NGLs and
6,015 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,665 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $2.22, or 8%, from $29.17
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.95 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.61, or
4%, from $13.71 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.32 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 43% to
$3.65 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.55 during the same
period in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $54,307 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $49,558 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$4,749, or 10%. This increase was due to increases in depletion and production
costs, offset by a decline in G&A.

Production costs were $41,744 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$39,806 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $1,938 increase, or 5%. The
increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover costs
incurred to stimulate well production, offset by lower production taxes due to
lower oil prices.

During this period, G&A decreased 6% from $2,940 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 to $2,776 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a decrease in
audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $9,787 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$6,812 for the same period in 2000, an increase in depletion of $2,975, or 44%.
This increase was attributable to a decrease in proved reserves during the
period ended June 30, 2001 as a result of lower commodity prices.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $55,654 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $38,858 and a

                                        8

   1066




reduction in working capital of $20,469, offset by increases in production costs
of $2,505 and G&A expenses of $1,168. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from increases in gas and NGL prices of $28,568 and $19,630 resulting
from the increase in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in
2000, offset by a decrease of $9,340 in oil prices during 2001. The increase in
production costs was primarily due to additional well maintenance costs incurred
to stimulate well production and increased production taxes associated with
higher oil and gas prices, offset by lower workover costs. The increase in G&A
was primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A
being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased
oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 were related to expenditures for equipment upgrades on
various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds of $76 recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2000 were from
equipment credits on one fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$79,705, of which $797 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$78,908 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $107,828, of which $1,078 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $106,750 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

                                        9

   1067


Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Partners
Parker & Parsley 88-A Conv., L.P.
  (A Delaware Limited Partnership):

We have audited the balance sheets of Parker & Parsley 88-A Conv., L.P. as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners'
capital and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Parker & Parsley 88-A Conv.,
L.P. as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 88-A Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized in
1988 as a general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was
converted to a Delaware limited partnership in 1989. The Partnership's managing
general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.  IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $118,823 related to
its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $12.95 per barrel of NGLs and $7.75 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $1,723,000 and undiscounted was $3,515,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

       The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

       Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NGLs and gas production.

NOTE 9. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of
the Partnership agreement:

        Managing general partner - The managing general partner of the
        Partnership is Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
        manage, control and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As
        managing general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties,
        all production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
        Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
        received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and
        gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being



                                       12
   1080



        paid to the Partnership. 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 partners entered into subscription
        agreements for aggregate capital contributions of $3,793,000. Pioneer
        USA is required to contribute amounts equal to 1% of initial Partnership
        capital less commission and organization and offering costs 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.

THIS REPORT CONTAINS 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
     RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 49% to $418,514 for 2000 as
compared to $280,717 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 9,403
barrels of oil, 5,201 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 21,399 mcf of
gas were sold, or 18,171 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 9,977
barrels of oil, 7,075 barrels of NGLs and 27,417 mcf of gas were sold, or 21,622
BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.37, or 73%, from
$16.91 in 1999 to $29.28 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $6.00, or 65%, from $9.30 in 1999 to $15.30 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 77% from $1.69 in 1999 to $2.99 in 2000. 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 2000.

A gain on disposition of assets of $76 was recognized in 2000 resulting from
equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $203,772 as compared to $186,418
in 1999, an increase of $17,354, or 9%. The increase was primarily due to
increases in production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"),
offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $160,855 in 2000 and $129,227 in 1999, resulting in a
$31,628 increase, or 24%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance
and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
47% from $8,448 in 1999 to $12,419 in 2000, primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $10,947 in 2000 and $5,872 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

Depletion was $30,498 in 2000 as compared to $48,743 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $18,245, or 37%. This decrease was primarily due to a 13,403 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.


   1082


1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 24% to $280,717 from
$227,119 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received and an increase in production. In 1999, 9,977 barrels of oil, 7,075
barrels of NGLs and 27,417 mcf of gas were sold, or 21,622 BOEs. In 1998, 10,890
barrels of oil, 6,009 barrels of NGLs and 25,367 mcf of gas were sold, or 21,127
BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.32, or 24%, from
$13.59 in 1998 to $16.91 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.73, or 42%, from $6.57 in 1998 to $9.30 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 8% from $1.56 in 1998 to $1.69 in 1999.

A gain on disposition of assets of $1,875 was recognized during 1998 for credits
received from the disposal of oil and gas equipment on a fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $186,418 as compared to $383,123
in 1998, a decrease of $196,705, or 51%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production
costs, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $129,227 in 1999 and $149,228 in 1998, resulting in a
$20,001 decrease, or 13%. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in production taxes due to
increased oil and gas revenues.

During this period, G&A increased 21% from $6,995 in 1998 to $8,448 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $5,872 in
1999 and $5,659 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $118,823 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $48,743 in 1999 compared to $108,077 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $59,334, or 55%. This decrease was the result of an increase in
proved reserves of 72,170 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum Industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $108,537 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $139,776 and a decline in working capital of $4,360,
offset by increases in production costs paid of $31,628 and G&A expenses paid of
$3,971. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in
commodity prices during 2000 which contributed an additional $203,232 to oil and
gas receipts, offset by $63,456 resulting from the decline in production during
2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and well maintenance and
workover costs incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was
primarily due to higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on several oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $76 received during 2000 were due to
equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $239,144, of which $2,391 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $236,753 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $96,923, of which
$969 was distributed to the managing general partner and $95,954 to the limited
partners.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.



(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2038, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 88-A, 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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 21% to $770,951 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $638,135 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs and an increase in production, offset by lower average prices received

                                        7

   1094



for oil. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 17,555 barrels of oil, 6,415
barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 47,966 mcf of gas were sold, or
31,964 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30,
2000, 15,055 barrels of oil, 9,352 barrels of NGLs and 36,489 mcf of gas were
sold, or 30,489 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $2.10, or 7%, from $28.50
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.40 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.38, or 17%, from
$13.81 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.19 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 94% from $2.19
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.25 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $259 was recognized during the six months ended
June 30, 2000 resulting from equipment credits received on one fully depleted
well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $381,676 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $352,955 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$28,721, or 8%. This increase was due to increases in depletion, production
costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $293,527 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$285,013 for the same period in 2000 resulting in an $8,514 increase, or 3%. The
increase was the result of additional well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production and higher production taxes due to higher oil and gas
prices, offset by lower workover costs.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
21% from $19,144 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $23,128 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $65,021 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$48,798 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $16,223, or 33%. This
increase was due to a decrease in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices and an increase in oil production of
2,500 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000.


                                        8

   1095



Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 6% to $315,590 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $334,067 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received for oil and
a decrease in production, offset by higher average prices received for gas and
NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 7,473 barrels of oil, 3,259
barrels of NGLs and 18,471 mcf of gas were sold, or 13,811 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 7,177 barrels of oil, 5,284 barrels of NGLs and
20,502 mcf of gas were sold, or 15,878 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $2.22, or 8%, from $29.17
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.95 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.61, or 4%, from $13.71
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.32 for the same period in
2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 43% from $2.55 during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.65 for the same period in 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $185,095 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $168,976 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$16,119, or 10%. This increase was due to increases in depletion and production
costs, offset by a decline in G&A.

Production costs were $142,364 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$135,737 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $6,627 increase, or 5%. The
increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover costs
incurred to stimulate well production, offset by lower production taxes due to
lower oil prices.

During this period, G&A decreased 6% from $10,022 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $9,467 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a decrease
in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $33,264 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$23,217 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $10,047, or 43%. This
increase was due to a decrease in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $173,528 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was primarily due to an increase of $132,522 in oil and gas sales
receipts and a reduction in working capital of $53,504, offset by increases in
production costs of $8,514 and G&A expenses of $3,984. The increase in oil and
gas receipts resulted from increases in gas and NGL prices of $97,373 and
$67,182 resulting from an increase in production during 2001 as compared to the
same period in 2000, offset by a decrease of $32,033 in oil prices during 2001.

                                        9

   1096



The increase in production costs was primarily due to additional well
maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production and increased production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by lower workover costs.
The increase in G&A was primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing
general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as
a result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax
fees.

Net Cash Used in  Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 were related to expenditures for oil and gas equipment
upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $259 received during the six months ended
June 30, 2000 were due to equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$271,814, of which $2,718 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$269,096 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $367,722, of which $3,677 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $364,045 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit  proxies  from limited  partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy  statement/prospectus  is final and declared  effective.  No

                                       10

   1097




solicitation will be made using preliminary  materials.  Nonetheless,  copies of
the preliminary proxy  statement/prospectus  may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 88-A, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1988 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").
Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 12,935 limited partnership
interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA is responsible for all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segments other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 54% was attributable to sales made to
Plains Marketing, L.P. Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one
purchaser would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil,
natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.

The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and






                                       2
   1101



ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that could expose the
Partnership to substantial liability due to pollution and other environmental
damages. 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.

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 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 40 oil and gas
wells. At December 31, 2000, 39 wells were producing with one well plugged and
abandoned.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

                                     PART II


ITEM 5.    MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
            DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 12,935 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 981 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, $807,385 and $327,220, 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

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 49% to $1,428,374 for 2000 as
compared to $957,278 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. In 2000, 32,063
barrels of oil, 17,745 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 72,965 mcf of
gas were sold, or 61,969 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 34,020
barrels of oil, 24,121 barrels of NGLs and 93,498 mcf of gas were sold, or
73,724 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.37, or 73%, from
$16.91 in 1999 to $29.28 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $6.00, or 65%, from $9.30 in 1999 to $15.30 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 77% from $1.69 in 1999 to $2.99 in 2000. 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 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $259 was recognized in 2000 resulting from
equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $695,576 as compared to $635,628
in 1999, an increase of $59,948, or 9%. The increase was primarily due to
increases in production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"),
offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $548,561 in 2000 and $440,670 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $107,891, or 24%. The increase was primarily due to additional well
maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production and higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
50% from $28,692 in 1999 to $42,987 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $37,340 in 2000 and $20,027 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

Depletion was $104,028 in 2000 as compared to $166,266 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $62,238, or 37%. This decrease was primarily due to a 45,809 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 24% to $957,278 from
$774,533 in 1998.






                                       5
   1104
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received and an
increase in production. In 1999, 34,020 barrels of oil, 24,121 barrels of NGLs
and 93,498 mcf of gas were sold, or 73,724 BOEs. In 1998, 37,135 barrels of oil,
20,500 barrels of NGLs and 86,501 mcf of gas were sold, or 72,052 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.32, or 24%, from
$13.59 in 1998 to $16.91 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.73, or 42%, from $6.57 in 1998 to $9.30 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 8% from $1.56 in 1998 to $1.69 in 1999.

A gain on disposition of assets of $6,393 was recognized in 1998 for credits
received from the disposal of oil and gas equipment on a fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $635,628 as compared to $1,306,368
in 1998, a decrease of $670,740, or 51%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production
costs, offset by an increase in G&A expenses.

Production costs were $440,670 in 1999 and $508,919 in 1998, resulting in a
$68,249 decrease, or 13%. The decrease was due to reductions in well maintenance
costs and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in production taxes due to
increased oil and gas revenues.

During this period, G&A increased 22% from $23,611 in 1998 to $28,692 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $20,027 in
1999 and $19,297 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.


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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $405,308 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $166,266 in 1999 compared to $368,530 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $202,264, or 55%. This decrease was the result of an increase in
proved reserves of 246,048 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but






                                       6
   1105


to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During 1999 and
2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and certain
other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned export
volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the announced
reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil prices, as have
overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North American natural gas
prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment and stable field
service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001, there is no
assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable level or
that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which could
negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $401,553 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $477,946 and a decline in working capital of $45,793,
offset by increases in production costs paid of $107,891 and G&A expenses paid
of $14,295. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in
commodity prices during 2000 which contributed an additional $694,183 to oil and
gas receipts, offset by $216,237 resulting from the decline in production during
2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and well maintenance and
workover costs incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was
primarily due to higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were related to
expenditures for oil and gas equipment upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $259 received in 2000 were due to equipment
credits received on one fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $815,540, of which $8,155 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $807,385 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $330,525, of which
$3,305 was distributed to the managing general partner and $327,220 to the
limited partners.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Partners
Parker & Parsley 88-A, L.P.
 (A Delaware Limited Partnership):

We have audited the balance sheets of Parker & Parsley 88-A, L.P. as of December
31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Parker & Parsley 88-A, L.P. as
of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

                         PARKER & PARSLEY 88-A, L.P.
                       (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1.    ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

      Parker & Parsley 88-A, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1988 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

      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.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

      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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

      Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

      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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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.







                                       14
   1113

      Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

      Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

      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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

      Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

     In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and gas
properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a decline
in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of its
oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on proved
reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $405,308 related to
its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

NOTE 4.    INCOME TAXES

     The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $267,761 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

      As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $12.95 per barrel of NGLs and $7.75 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $5,875,000 and undiscounted was $11,988,000.

      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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

     The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by
applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

     Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.



(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2038, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.      Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 88-B Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized in 1988 as a
general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was converted to a
Delaware limited partnership in 1989.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
   and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Revenues:

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 4% to $249,201 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $240,056 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by


                                        6

   1135



a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 5,840 barrels
of oil, 1,903 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 8,437 mcf of gas were
sold, or 9,149 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June
30, 2000, 6,703 barrels of oil, 2,606 barrels of NGLs and 10,843 mcf of gas were
sold, or 11,116 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.33, or 5%, from $26.91
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $28.24 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.39, or 24%, from
$14.08 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $17.47 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 184% from $2.12
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $6.03 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 six months ended June 30,
2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $3,190 was received during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 due to the sale of equipment on one well plugged and abandoned
during the current period. Abandoned property costs of $4,159 were also incurred
during the same period to plug and abandon this well. A gain of $3,592 was
recognized during the same period in 2000 from equipment credits received on one
fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $119,898 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $104,878 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$15,020, or 14%. This increase was due to increases in production costs,
abandoned property costs and depletion, offset by a decline in general and
administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $94,594 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and $83,261
for the same period in 2000, resulting in an $11,333 increase, or 14%. The
increase was due to additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred to
stimulate well production and higher production taxes due to higher oil and gas
prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased
13% from $7,202 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $6,230 for the same
period in 2001. This decrease was due to a decline in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $14,915 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$14,415 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $500, or 3%. This increase
was due to a decrease in proved reserves during the period ended June 30, 2000
due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decrease in oil production of 863
barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in
2000.

                                        7

   1136



Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 5% to $116,624 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $122,939 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received for oil and
a decrease in production, offset by higher average prices received for gas and
NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 3,097 barrels of oil, 963
barrels of NGLs and 4,937 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,883 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 3,357 barrels of oil, 1,285 barrels of NGLs and
5,144 mcf of gas were sold, or 5,499 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.56, or 2%, from $27.42
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.86 for the same period in June
30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.22, or 9%,
from $13.81 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.03 for the same
period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 50% to $3.83
during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.55 during the same period in
2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $3,190 was received during the three months
ended June 30, 2001 due to the sale of equipment on one well plugged and
abandoned during the current period. Abandoned property costs of $4,159 were
also incurred during the same period to plug and abandon this well. A gain of
$3,592 was recognized during the same period in 2000 from equipment credits
received on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $67,856 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $56,624 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$11,232, or 20%. This increase was due to increases in production costs,
abandoned property costs and depletion, offset by a decline in G&A.

Production costs were $52,202 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$46,638 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $5,564 increase, or 12%. The
increase was due to additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred to
stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 18% from $3,575 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $2,916 for the same period in 2001 primarily due to a lower
allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of decreased oil and gas revenues and a
decrease in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $8,579 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$6,411 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $2,168, or 34%. This increase
was attributable to a decrease in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 as a result of lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil
production of 260 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared
to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $31,028 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $9,049 and
reductions of $972 in G&A expenses and $36,499 in working capital, offset by
increases in production costs of $11,333 and abandoned property costs of $4,159.
The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity
prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $60,241 to oil and gas
receipts, offset by $51,192 resulting from the decline in production during 2001
as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in production costs was
primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred to
stimulate well production and increased production taxes associated with higher
oil and gas prices. The decrease in G&A was due to a decline in audit and tax
fees.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge


                                        9

with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.         ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 88-B Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized in
1988 as a general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was
converted to a Delaware limited partnership in 1989. The Partnership's managing
general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

       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.         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants. The
carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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.


                                        7


   1146


        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.         IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $156,111 related to
its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.59 per barrel of NGLs and $7.85 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $2,098,000 and undiscounted was $4,398,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NOTE 9.         PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of
the Partnership agreement:

        Managing general partner - The managing general partner of the
        Partnership is Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
        manage, control and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As
        managing general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties,
        all production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
        Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
        received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and
        gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to
        the Partnership. 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.


                                       12


   1151


        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 partners entered into subscription
        agreements for aggregate capital contributions of $3,636,000. Pioneer
        USA is required to contribute amounts equal to 1% of initial Partnership
        capital less commission and organization and offering costs 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 84% to $535,228 for 2000 as
compared to $291,390 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received and an increase in production. In 2000, 13,209 barrels
of oil, 5,363 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 21,781 mcf of gas were
sold, or 22,202 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 11,400 barrels of
oil, 5,586 barrels of NGLs and 23,221 mcf of gas were sold, or 20,856 BOEs. Due
to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties,
management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the future until
the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.12, or 71%, from
$17.17 in 1999 to $29.29 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.99, or 60%, from $10.03 in 1999 to $16.02 in 2000. The average
price received per mcf of gas increased 69% from $1.70 in 1999 to $2.87 in 2000.
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 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $7,186 was recognized during 2000. The gain was
comprised of $5,981 received from the sale of equipment on one well plugged and
abandoned during the current period and $1,205 from equipment credits received
on one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $220,151 as compared to $197,819
in 1999, an increase of $22,332, or 11%. The increase was due to increases in
production costs, general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and abandoned
property costs, offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $174,071 in 2000 and $146,805 in 1999, resulting in a
$27,266 increase, or 19%. The increase 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.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
84% from $8,615 in 1999 to $15,875 in 2000, primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $13,920 in 2000 and $5,293 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

Depletion was $27,450 in 2000 as compared to $42,399 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $14,949, or 35%. This decrease was primarily due to a 35,962 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 due to higher commodity prices,
offset by an increase in oil production of 1,809 barrels for the period ended
December 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.

Abandoned property costs of $2,755 were incurred during 2000 due to the plugging
and abandonment of one well during


   1153


the current period.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 24% to $291,390 from
$234,942 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 11,400 barrels of oil,
5,586 barrels of NGLs and 23,221 mcf of gas were sold, or 20,856 BOEs. In 1998,
12,653 barrels of oil, 4,957 barrels of NGLs and 21,214 mcf of gas were sold, or
21,146 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.93, or 30%, from
$13.24 in 1998 to $17.17 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $3.12, or 45%, from $6.91 in 1998 to $10.03 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 9% from $1.56 in 1998 to $1.70 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $197,819 as compared to $436,801
in 1998, a decrease of $238,982, or 55%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production
costs, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $146,805 in 1999 and $158,704 in 1998, resulting in an
$11,899 decrease, or 7%. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs, workover costs and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in production
taxes due to increased oil and gas revenues.

During this period, G&A increased 21% from $7,091 in 1998 to $8,615 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $5,293 in
1999 and $5,608 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $156,111 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $42,399 in 1999 compared to $114,895 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $72,496, or 63%. This decrease was the result of a combination of
factors that included an increase in proved reserves of 100,955 barrels of oil
during 1999 as a result of higher commodity prices, a reduction in the
Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS
121 during the fourth quarter of 1998 and a decline in oil production of 1,253
barrels for the period ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period in
1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $191,512 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $246,184, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $27,266, G&A expenses paid of $7,260 abandoned property costs paid of $2,755
and working capital of $17,391. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted
from the increase in commodity prices during 2000 which contributed an
additional $200,923 to oil and gas receipts and an increase of $45,261 resulting
from the increase in production during 2000. The increase in production costs
was primarily due to increased production taxes associated with higher oil and
gas prices and additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred to
stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were
related to equipment upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $7,186 were recognized during 2000. The
proceeds were comprised of $5,981 received from the sale of equipment on one
well plugged and abandoned during the current period and $1,205 from equipment
credits received on one active well. Proceeds of $4,369 during 1999 were
primarily related to equipment dispositions on one oil and gas well that is
temporarily abandoned.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $319,176, of which $3,192 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $315,984 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $106,208, of which
$1,062 was distributed to the managing general partner and $105,146 to the
limited partners.

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.



(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2038, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

of oil, 4,692 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 20,792 mcf of gas were
sold, or 22,554 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, 16,511 barrels of oil, 6,423 barrels of NGLs and 26,695 mcf of
gas were sold, or 27,383 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.33, or 5%, from $26.91
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $28.24 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.39, or 24%, from
$14.08 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $17.47 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 184% from $2.12
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $6.03 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $7,855 was received during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 due to the sale of equipment on one well plugged and abandoned
during the current period. Abandoned property costs of $10,241 were also
incurred during the same period to plug and abandon this well. A gain of $8,845
was recognized during the same period in 2000 resulting from equipment credits
received on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $295,374 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $258,310 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$37,064, or 14%. This increase was due to increases in production costs,
abandoned property costs and depletion, offset by a decline in general and
administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $233,029 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$205,053 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $27,976 increase, or 14%.
This increase was primarily due to additional workover and well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production and increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased
13% from $17,740 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $15,349 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to decreased audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $36,755 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$35,517 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,238, or 3%. This increase
was primarily due to a reduction in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 as a result of lower commodity prices, offset by a decrease in oil
production of 2,114 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared
to the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 5% to $287,569 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $302,734 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received for oil and
a decline in production, offset by higher average prices received for gas and
NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 7,644 barrels of oil, 2,377
barrels of NGLs and 12,161 mcf of gas were sold, or 12,048 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 8,275 barrels of oil, 3,156 barrels of NGLs and
12,676 mcf of gas were sold, or 13,544 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.56, or 2%, from $27.42
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.86 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.22, or 9%, from
$13.81 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.03 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 50% from $2.55
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.83 for the same period in
2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $7,855 was received during the three months
ended June 30, 2001 due to the sale of equipment on one well plugged and
abandoned during the current period. Abandoned property costs of $10,241 were
also incurred during the same period to plug and abandon this well. A gain of
$8,845 was recognized during the same period in 2000 resulting from equipment
credits received on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $167,195 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $139,453 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$27,742, or 20%. This increase was due to increases in production costs,
abandoned property costs and depletion, offset by a decline in G&A.

Production costs were $128,587 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$114,842 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $13,745 increase, or 12%.
The increase was primarily due to additional workover and well maintenance costs
incurred to stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 18% from $8,802 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $7,189 for the same period in 2001 due to lower percentage of
the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of a decline in oil and gas revenues and a decrease in
audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $21,178 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$15,809 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $5,369, or 34%. This
increase was primarily due to a reduction in proved reserves during the period
ended June 30, 2001 as a result of lower commodity prices, offset by a decline
in oil production of 631 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $56,452 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was primarily due to an increase of $22,357 in oil and gas sales
receipts and reductions of $2,391 in G&A expenses and $69,921 in working
capital, offset by increases in production costs of $27,976 and abandoned
property costs of $10,241. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from
the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional
$147,904 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $125,547 resulting from the decline
in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase
in production costs was primarily due to additional workover and well
maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production and increased production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices. The decrease in G&A was
primarily due to decreased audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 were for equipment upgrades on active oil and gas
properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $6,010 was recognized during the six
months ended June 30, 2001. The proceeds were comprised of $5,485 received from
the sale of equipment on one well plugged and abandoned during the current
period and $525 from equipment credits received on two active wells. Proceeds of
$8,845 recognized during the same period in 2000 were from equipment credits on
one fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $351,856, of which $3,519 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $348,337 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge


                                       10

   1168




with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

   1171

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

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's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").
Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 8,954 limited partnership
interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA is responsible for all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 50% was attributable to sales made to
Plains Marketing, L.P. Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one
purchaser would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil,
natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.

The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that
could expose the Partnership to substantial



                                       2
   1172

liability due to pollution and other environmental damages. 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.

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 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 43 oil and gas
wells. Two wells have been plugged and abandoned. At December 31, 2000, 41 wells
were producing.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

                                     PART II


ITEM 5.    MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
           DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 8,954 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 690 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, $778,145 and $258,933, 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

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 84% to $1,318,092 for 2000 as
compared to $717,449 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received and an increase in production. In 2000, 32,524 barrels
of oil, 13,205 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 53,620 mcf of gas
were sold, or 54,666 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 28,078 barrels
of oil, 13,752 NGLs and 57,190 mcf of gas were sold, or 51,362 BOEs. Due to the
decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties, management
expects a certain amount of decline in production in the future until the
Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.12, or 71%, from
$17.17 in 1999 to $29.29 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.99, or 60%, from $10.03 in 1999 to $16.02 in 2000. The average
price received per mcf of gas increased 69% from $1.70 in 1999 to $2.87 in 2000.
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 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $17,697 was recognized during 2000. The gain
was comprised of $14,729 received from the sale of equipment on one well plugged
and abandoned during the current period and $2,968 from equipment credits
received on one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $542,703 as compared to $487,566
in 1999, an increase of $55,137, or 11%. The increase was due to increases in
production costs, general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and abandoned
property costs, offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $428,633 in 2000 and $361,482 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $67,151, or 19%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance
and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
83% from $21,650 in 1999 to $39,725 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $34,281 in 2000 and $13,039 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

   1175


Depletion was $67,561 in 2000 as compared to $104,434 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $36,873, or 35%. This decrease was primarily due to a 88,489 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices, offset by an increase in oil production of 4,446 barrels for the period
ended December 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.

Abandoned property costs of $6,784 incurred in 2000 were related to the plugging
and abandonment of one well during the current year.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 24% to $717,449 from
$578,573 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 28,078 barrels of oil,
13,752 barrels of NGLs and 57,190 mcf of gas were sold, or 51,362 BOEs. In 1998,
31,155 barrels of oil, 12,210 NGLs and 52,254 mcf of gas were sold, or 52,074
BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.93, or 30%, from
$13.24 in 1998 to $17.17 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $3.12, or 45%, from $6.91 in 1998 to $10.03 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 9% from $1.56 in 1998 to $1.70 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $487,566 as compared to $1,075,163
in 1998, a decrease of $587,597, or 55%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production
costs, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $361,482 in 1999 and $390,835 in 1998, resulting in a
$29,353 decrease, or 8%. The decrease was primarily due to declines in well
maintenance costs, workover costs and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in
production taxes due to increased oil and gas revenues.

During this period, G&A increased 25% from $17,315 in 1998 to $21,650 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $13,039 in
1999 and $13,810 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $383,951 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $104,434 in 1999 compared to $283,062 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $178,628, or 63%. This decrease was the result of a combination of
factors that included an increase in proved reserves of 248,642 barrels of oil
during 1999 as a result of higher commodity prices, a reduction in the
Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS
121 during the fourth quarter of 1998 and a decline in oil production of 3,077
barrels for the period ended

December 31, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $512,129 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $606,337, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $67,151, G&A expenses paid of $18,075, abandoned property costs paid of
$6,784 and working capital of $2,198. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2000 which contributed an
additional $495,153 to oil and gas receipts and an increase of $111,184
resulting from the increase in production during 2000. The increase in
production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes associated with
higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance and workover costs
incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to
higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited
to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.


Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were related to the
upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $17,697 were recognized during 2000. The
proceeds were comprised of $14,729 received from the sale of equipment on one
well plugged and abandoned during the current period and $2,968 from equipment
credits received on active wells. Proceeds of $10,758 recognized during 1999
were related to equipment disposals on one temporarily abandoned oil and gas
well.

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $786,005, of which $7,860 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $778,145 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $261,548, of which
$2,615 was distributed to the managing general partner and $258,933 to the
limited partners.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


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's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

      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.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

      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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

      Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

      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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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



                                       15
   1185

respective partners.

      Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation been consistent over
the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

      Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

      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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

      Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

      In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $383,951 related to
its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

      As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.59 per barrel of NGLs and $7.85 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $5,167,000 and undiscounted was $10,831,000.

      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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

      The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

      Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

have an adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership to sell its oil, NGLs
and gas production.

NOTE 9.    PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

      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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to manage, control
      and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As managing general
      partner and operator of the Partnership's properties, all production
      expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the Partnership. The
      majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are received directly
      by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and gas revenue is
      initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to the Partnership.
      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.



                                       20
   1190

      Initial capital contributions - The limited partners entered into
      subscription agreements for aggregate capital contributions of $8,954,000.
      Pioneer USA 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.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as any
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2038, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 88-C Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized in 1988 as a
general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was converted to a
Delaware limited partnership in 1989.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
  and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 8% to $215,104 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $198,755 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by

                                        6

   1207



a decline in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 4,777 barrels
of oil, 1,958 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 8,160 mcf of gas were
sold, or 8,095 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June
30, 2000, 5,355 barrels of oil, 2,398 barrels of NGLs and 9,952 mcf of gas were
sold, or 9,412 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.44, or 5%, from $26.96
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $28.40 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.13, or 22%, from
$13.94 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $17.07 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 169% from $2.10
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $5.64 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Gains on disposition of assets of $2,508 and $2,824 were recognized during the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The gain recognized
during the period ended June 30, 2001 was due to salvage income received on one
well plugged and abandoned during the current period. The gain recognized during
the period ended June 30, 2000 resulted from equipment credits received on one
fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $106,355 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $92,336 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $14,019,
or 15%. The increase was due to increases in production costs, general and
administrative expenses ("G&A"), depletion and abandoned property costs.

Production costs were $82,788 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and $73,398
for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $9,390 increase, or 13%. The increase
was due to additional workover and well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate
well production and increased production taxes due to higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel costs. During this period, G&A increased 12%, from
$5,963 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $6,678 for the same period in
2001, primarily due to increased audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $13,659 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$12,975 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $684, or 5%. This increase
was due to a reduction in proved reserves during the period ended June 30, 2001
due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil production of 578
barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in
2000.

Abandoned property costs of $3,230 were incurred for the six months ended June
30, 2001 to plug and abandon one well.

                                        7

   1208



Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased slightly to $102,918 for the
three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $103,726 for the same period in
2000. The decrease in revenues resulted from a decline in production and lower
average prices received for oil, offset by higher average prices received for
gas and NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 2,619 barrels of oil,
1,005 barrels of NGLs and 4,630 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,396 BOEs. For the
three months ended June 30, 2000, 2,662 barrels of oil, 1,276 barrels of NGLs
and 5,183 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,802 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.58, or 2%, from $27.57
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.99 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.16, or
8%, from $13.67 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.83 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 51% to
$3.74 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.47 during the same
period in 2000.

Gains on disposition of assets of $2,508 and $2,824 were recognized during the
three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The gain recognized
during the period ended June 30, 2001 was due to salvage income received on one
well plugged and abandoned during the current period. The gain recognized during
the period ended June 30, 2000 resulted from equipment credits received on one
fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $60,999 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $48,457 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$12,542, or 26%. This increase was due to increases in production costs,
depletion and abandoned property costs, offset by a decline in G&A.

Production costs were $47,040 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$39,337 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $7,703 increase, or 20%. The
increase was due to additional workover and well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 6%, from $3,112 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $2,912 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a decline
in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $7,817 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$6,008 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,809, or 30%. This increase
was attributable to a reduction in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil production of
43 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000.

                                        8

   1209



Abandoned property costs of $3,230 were incurred for the three months ended June
30, 2001 to plug and abandon one well.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $33,008 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $16,300 and a
reduction in working capital of $30,043, offset by increases in production costs
of $9,390, G&A expenses of $715 and abandoned property costs of $3,230. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2001 which contributed an additional $50,373 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $34,073 resulting from the decline in production during 2001 as
compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in production costs was
primarily due to additional workover and well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production and increased production taxes associated with higher
oil and gas prices. The increase in G&A was primarily due to increased audit and
tax fees.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on
various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds of $1,918 and $2,824 were recognized during the six months ended June
30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The gain recognized during the period ended
June 30, 2001 was due to salvage income received on one well plugged and
abandoned during the current period. The gain recognized during the period ended
June 30, 2000 resulted from equipment credits received on one fully depleted
well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$85,826, of which $858 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$84,968 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $119,650, of which $1,197 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $118,453 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001,  Pioneer Natural Resources Company  ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission  Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy  statement/prospectus"),
which  proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer,  Pioneer  Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"),  a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer,  and

                                        9

   1210


46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.         ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 88-C Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized in
1988 as a general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was
converted to a Delaware limited partnership in 1989. The Partnership's managing
general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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.         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants. The
carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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.



                                       7
   1218


        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non- partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.         IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $119,715 related to
its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

liabilities was $35,215 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.56 per barrel of NGLs and $7.78 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $1,724,000 and undiscounted was
approximately $3,597,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

        At December 31, 2000, the amount receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P.
was $21,565 which is included in the caption "Accounts receivable - oil and gas
sales" in the accompanying Balance Sheet.

        Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one purchaser would
not have an adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership to sell its oil,
NGLs and gas production.

NOTE 9.         PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of
the Partnership agreement:

        Managing general partner - The managing general partner of the
        Partnership is Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
        manage, control and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As
        managing general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties,
        all production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
        Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
        received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and
        gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to
        the Partnership. 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

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 80% to $443,642 for 2000 as
compared to $246,242 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received and an increase in production. In 2000, 10,646 barrels
of oil, 4,807 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 19,618 mcf of gas were
sold, or 18,723 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 9,260 barrels of
oil, 4,876 barrels of NGLs and 21,119 mcf of gas were sold, or 17,656 BOEs. Due
to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties,
management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the future until
the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.09, or 70%, from
$17.24 in 1999 to $29.33 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.41, or 52%, from $10.42 in 1999 to $15.83 in 2000. The average
price received per mcf of gas increased 66% from $1.70 in 1999 to $2.82 in 2000.
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 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $5,650 recognized in 2000 was due to equipment
credits received from salvage income of $4,703 on one well plugged and abandoned
during the current year and $947 on one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $192,070 as compared to $178,895
in 1999, an increase of $13,175, or 7%. The increase was primarily due to
increases in production costs, general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and
abandoned property costs, offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $151,650 in 2000 and $131,165 in 1999, resulting in a
$20,485 increase, or 16%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance
and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production.

Abandoned property costs of $2,166 during 2000 were related to the plugging and
abandonment of one well during the current year.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
82% from $7,217 in 1999 to $13,129 in 2000, primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $9,514 in 2000 and $1,096 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

Depletion was $25,125 in 2000 as compared to $40,513 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $15,388, or 38%. This decrease was primarily due to a 26,409 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices, offset by an increase in oil production of 1,386 barrels for the period
ended December 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 23% to $246,242 from
$200,460 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 9,260 barrels of oil,
4,876 barrels of NGLs and 21,119 mcf of gas were sold, or 17,656 BOEs. In 1998,
10,457 barrels of oil, 4,402 barrels of NGLs and 19,764 mcf of gas were sold, or
18,153 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.94, or 30%, from
$13.30 in 1998 to $17.24 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $3.48, or 50%, from $6.94 in 1998 to $10.42 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 10% from $1.55 in 1998 to $1.70 in 1999.

A gain on disposition of assets of $2,175 was recognized during 1998 from
equipment credits on a well plugged and abandoned in 1997.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $178,895 as compared to $366,001
in 1998, a decrease of $187,106, or 51%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production
costs, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $131,165 in 1999 and $142,438 in 1998, resulting in an
$11,273 decrease, or 8%. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs, workover expenses and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in
production taxes due to increased oil and gas revenues.

During this period, G&A increased 20% from $5,997 in 1998 to $7,217 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $1,096 in
1999 and $2,651 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $119,715 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $40,513 in 1999 compared to $97,851 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $57,338, or 59%. This decrease was the result of a combination of
factors that included an increase in proved reserves of 79,930 barrels of oil
during 1999 as a result of higher commodity prices, a reduction in the
Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS
121 during the fourth quarter of 1998 and a decline in oil production of 1,197
barrels for the period ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period in
1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $155,222 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $199,556, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $20,485, G&A expenses paid of $5,912, abandoned property costs paid of $2,166
and working capital of $15,771. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted
from the increase in commodity prices during 2000 which contributed an
additional $164,214 to oil and gas receipts and an increase of $35,342 resulting
from the increase in production during 2000. The increase in production costs
was primarily due to increased production taxes associated with higher oil and
gas prices and additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred to
stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on several oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $5,650 recognized in 2000 was due to
equipment credits received from salvage income of $4,703 on one well plugged and
abandoned during the current year and $947 on one fully depleted well. Proceeds
from disposition of assets of $3,435 during 1999 were received from equipment
credits on active wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $260,376, of which $2,604 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $257,772 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $74,621, of which
$746 was distributed to the managing general partner and $73,875 to the limited
partners.

----------

(a) Stated in thousands.


(b) The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
    value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
    and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
    2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
    expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
    cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c) Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
    $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
    investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should not
    assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the value
    or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d) The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
    (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
    during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
    the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the operating
    period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as in the
    merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
    administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
    the partnership to its partners.

(e) The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
    partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
    which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share of
    the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3% of
    the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July 13,
    2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses represent
    estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell the assets
    of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs associated with
    such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the partnership.


(f) Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
    offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
    your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
    advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
    in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

    The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not

during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $5.64 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Gains on disposition of assets of $1,788 and $2,013 were recognized during the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The gain recognized
during the period ended June 30, 2001 was due to salvage income received on one
well plugged and abandoned during the current period. The gain recognized during
the period ended June 30, 2000 was due to equipment credits received on one
fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $75,726 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $65,802 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $9,924,
or 15%. This increase was due to increases in production costs, general and
administrative expenses ("G&A"), depletion and abandoned property costs.

Production costs were $58,961 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and $52,306
for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $6,655 increase, or 13%. The increase
was due to additional workover and well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate
well production and increased production taxes due to higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
12%, from $4,245 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4,753 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to increased audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $9,682 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$9,251 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $431, or 5%. This increase
was due to a reduction in proved reserves during the period ended June 30, 2001
due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil production of 411
barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in
2000.

Abandoned property costs of $2,330 were incurred for the six months ended June
30, 2001 to plug and abandon one well.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased slightly to $73,295 for the
three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $73,472 for the same period in
2000. The decrease in revenues resulted from a decline in production and lower
average prices received for oil, offset by higher average prices received for
gas and NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 1,866 barrels of oil,
716 barrels of NGLs and 3,294 mcf of gas were sold, or 3,131 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 1,884 barrels of oil, 907 barrels of NGLs and 3,694
mcf of gas were sold, or 3,407 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.58, or 2%, from $27.57
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.99 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.16, or
8%, from $13.67 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.83 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 51% to
$3.74 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.47 during the same
period in 2000.

Gains on disposition of assets of $1,788 and $2,013 were recognized during the
three months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The gain recognized
during the period ended June 30, 2001 was due to salvage income received on one
well plugged and abandoned during the current period. The gain recognized during
the period ended June 30, 2000 was due to equipment credits received on one
fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $43,712 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $34,488 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$9,224, or 27%. This increase was due to increases in production costs, G&A,
depletion and abandoned property costs.

Production costs were $33,489 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$28,016 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $5,473 increase, or 20%. The
increase was due to additional workover and well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A increased 7%, from $2,204 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $2,359 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to increased
audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $5,534 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$4,268 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,266, or 30%. This increase
was attributable to a reduction in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil production of
18 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000.

Abandoned property costs of $2,330 were incurred for the three months ended June

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $23,468 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $11,468 and a
reduction in working capital of $21,493, offset by increases in production costs
of $6,655, G&A expenses of $508 and abandoned property costs of $2,330. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2001 which contributed an additional $35,738 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $24,270 resulting from the decline in production during 2001 as
compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in production costs was
primarily due to additional workover and well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production and increased production taxes due to higher oil and
gas prices. The increase in G&A was primarily due to increased audit and tax
fees.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on
various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $1,367 and $2,013 were recognized during the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The proceeds recognized
during 2001 were due to salvage income received on a well plugged and abandoned
during the current year. The proceeds recognized during 2000 were due to
equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$61,168, of which $612 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$60,556 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $85,274, of which $853 was distributed to the
managing general partner and $84,421 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the

                                        9

   1239


agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Partners
Parker & Parsley 88-C, L.P.
  (A Delaware Limited Partnership):

We have audited the balance sheets of Parker & Parsley 88-C, L.P. as of December
31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Parker & Parsley 88-C, L.P. as

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 88-C, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1988 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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


                                       7
   1247


respective partners.

        Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.  IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $85,160 related to its
proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

        As of December 31, 2000 the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.56 per barrel of NGLs and $7.78 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $1,229,000 and undiscounted was $2,564,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

       The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

       Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NOTE 9. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
        manage, control and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As
        managing general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties,
        all production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
        Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
        received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and
        gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to
        the Partnership. 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




                                       12
   1252


        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
        $2,431,000. Pioneer USA is required to contribute amounts equal to 1% of
        initial Partnership capital less commission and organization and
        offering costs 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 80% to $316,382 for 2000 as
compared to $175,483 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received and an increase in production. In 2000, 7,593 barrels of
oil, 3,430 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 13,979 mcf of gas were
sold, or 13,353 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 6,595 barrels of
oil, 3,476 barrels of NGLs and 15,049 mcf of gas were sold, or 12,579 BOEs. Due
to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties,
management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the future until
the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.09, or 70%, from
$17.24 in 1999 to $29.33 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.41, or 52%, from $10.42 in 1999 to $15.83 in 2000. The average
price received per mcf of gas increased 66% from $1.70 in 1999 to $2.82 in 2000.
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 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $4,027 recognized in 2000 was due to salvage
income from equipment credits of $3,352 on one well plugged and abandoned during
the current year and $675 on one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $137,222 as compared to $127,758
in 1999, an increase of $9,464, or 7%. The increase was primarily due to
increases in production costs, general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and
abandoned property costs, offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $108,093 in 2000 and $93,481 in 1999, resulting in a
$14,612, or 16%, increase. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices, additional well maintenance and
workover costs incurred to stimulate well production.

Abandoned property costs of $1,544 during 2000 were related to the plugging and
abandonment of one well during the current year.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
78% from $5,434 in 1999 to $9,672 in 2000, primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $6,776 in 2000 and $782 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

                2000 as compared to $28,843 in 1999, representing a decrease of
                $10,930, or 38%. This decrease was primarily due to a 18,820
                barrels of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a
                result of higher commodity prices, offset by an increase in oil
                production of 998 barrels for the period ended December 31, 2000
                compared to the same period in 1999.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 23% to $175,483 from
$142,874 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 6,595 barrels of oil,
3,476 barrels of NGLs and 15,049 mcf of gas were sold, or 12,579 BOEs. In 1998,
7,453 barrels of oil, 3,143 barrels of NGLs and 14,091 mcf of gas were sold, or
12,945 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.94, or 30%, from
$13.30 in 1998 to $17.24 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $3.48, or 50%, from $6.94 in 1998 to $10.42 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 10% from $1.55 in 1998 to $1.70 in 1999.

A gain on disposition of assets of $1,550 was recognized during 1998 from
equipment credits on a well plugged and abandoned in 1997.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $127,758 as compared to $260,912
in 1998, a decrease of $133,154, or 51%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production
costs, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $93,481 in 1999 and $101,514 in 1998, resulting in an
$8,033, or 8%, decrease. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs, workover expenses and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in
production taxes due to increased oil and gas revenues.

During this period, G&A increased 26% from $4,303 in 1998 to $5,434 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $782 in 1999
and $1,889 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $85,160 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $28,843 in 1999 compared to $69,935 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $41,092, or 59%. This decrease was the result of a combination of
factors that included an increase in proved reserves of 56,967 barrels of oil
during 1999 due to higher commodity prices, a reduction in the Partnership's net
depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the
fourth quarter of 1998 and a decline in oil production of 858 barrels for the
period ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $110,523 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $142,369, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $14,612, G&A expenses paid of $4,238, abandoned property costs paid of $1,544
and working capital of $11,452. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted
from the increase in commodity prices during 2000 which contributed an
additional $116,842 to oil and gas receipts and an increase of $25,527 resulting
from an increase in production during 2000. The increase in production costs was
primarily due to increased production taxes associated with higher oil and gas
prices and additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred to stimulate
well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher percentage of
the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on several oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $4,027 during 2000 were due to salvage
income from equipment credits of $3,352 on one well plugged and abandoned during
the current year and $675 on one fully depleted well. Proceeds from disposition
of assets of $2,448 during 1999 were from equipment credits on active wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $185,568, of which $1,856 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $183,712 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $53,182, of which
$532 was distributed to the managing general partner and $52,650 to the limited
partners.

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's oil and gas
     reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31, 2001,
     less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (B) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Not applicable. Since this partnership purchased producing properties,
     there were no intangible drilling and development costs nor any related
     write-off for tax purposes.

           INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     Although not required by the partnership agreement for the partnership,
special legal counsel will render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners
to Pioneer USA that (1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to
approve the merger of the partnership by its limited partners will adversely
affect the federal income tax classification of the partnership or any of its
limited partners; and (2) neither the grant nor exercise of such right will
result in the loss of any limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the
counsel designated to render the opinion is not required to be counsel other
than counsel to Pioneer USA or the partnership. Both the designated counsel and
the legal opinion will be submitted for approval by the limited partners.
Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas for the purpose of
rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA.
The merger proposals include an approval of that counsel and the form of its
opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an exhibit to the merger
proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2038, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 88-A, 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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 1% to $350,012 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $346,895 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs, offset by a decline in production and lower average prices received
for oil. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 8,258 barrels of oil, 3,840

                                        7

   1266



barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 16,169 mcf of gas were sold, or
14,793 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30,
2000, 8,488 barrels of oil, 5,238 barrels of NGLs and 20,402 mcf of gas were
sold, or 17,126 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.53, or 2%, from $27.71
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.18 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.47, or 3%, from $13.93
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.40 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per mcf of gas increased 129% from $1.90 during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.35 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Gains on disposition of assets of $6,447 and $9,859 were recognized during the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The gain recognized
during the six months ended June 30, 2001 resulted from equipment credits
received on one well that was plugged and abandoned during the current period.
Expenses incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2001 to plug this well
were $10,766. The gain recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2000
resulted from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $185,128 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $239,607 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $54,479,
or 23%. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in production costs, offset
by increases in abandoned property costs, depletion and general and
administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $127,329 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$199,253 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a decrease of $71,924, or
36%. This decrease was primarily due to lower workover and well maintenance
costs.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
1% from $10,407 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $10,506 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $36,527 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$29,947 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $6,580, or 22%. This
increase was primarily due to a downward revision to proved reserves during the
period ended June 30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices as compared to the same
period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 22% to $154,567 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $197,479 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received for oil and
NGLs and a decline in production, offset by higher average prices received for
gas. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 3,841 barrels of oil, 1,984
barrels of NGLs and 7,439 mcf of gas were sold, or 7,065 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 4,780 barrels of oil, 2,886 barrels of NGLs and
10,613 mcf of gas were sold, or 9,435 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.58, or 2%, from $27.50
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.92 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased $1.83, or 12%, from
$14.66 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $12.83 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 55% from $2.23
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.46 for the same period in
2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $6,447 was recognized during the three months
ended June 30, 2001 resulting from equipment credits received on one well
plugged and abandoned during the current period. Expenses incurred to plug this
well were $10,766.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $93,876 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $147,866 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of
$53,990, or 37%. This decrease was primarily due to declines in production
costs, G&A and depletion, offset by an increase in abandoned property costs.

Production costs were $61,994 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$124,619 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $62,625 decrease, or 50%.
This decrease was primarily due to lower workover and well maintenance costs.

During this period, G&A decreased 22% from $5,925 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $4,643 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a lower
allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated as a result of
lower oil and gas revenues during the three months ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to the period ended June 30, 2000, in addition to decreased audit and
tax fees.

Depletion was $16,473 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$17,322 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $849, or 5%. This decrease
was primarily due to a decline in oil production of 939 barrels for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $119,583 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was primarily due to a reduction of $56,986 in working capital, an
increase of $1,538 in oil and gas sales receipts and a decline in production
costs of $71,924, offset by increases in abandoned property costs of $10,766 and
G&A expenses of $99. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the
increase in gas and NGL prices of $52,442 during 2001, offset by a decline of
$46,359 in production and a $4,545 decline in oil prices in 2001 as compared to
the same period in 2000. The decrease in production costs was primarily due to
lower workover and well maintenance costs. The increase in G&A was primarily due
to an increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2000
were related to expenditures for upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active
properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $6,447 and $9,859 were recognized during
the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Proceeds during 2001
were from equipment credits on one well that was plugged and abandoned during
the current period. Proceeds during 2000 were from equipment credits on one
fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$154,242, of which $1,542 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$152,700 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $232,627, of which $2,326 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $230,301 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships


                                       10

   1269



that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

   1272

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 88-A, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership organized in 1988 under the laws of the State of Delaware.
The Partnership's managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA,
Inc. ("Pioneer USA"). Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer
Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had
11,222 limited partnership interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA supplies all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 59% was attributable to sales made to
Plains Marketing, L.P. Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one
purchaser would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil,
natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.
The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that
could expose the Partnership to substantial liability due to pollution and other
environmental damages. Although the Partnership believes that



                                       2
   1273

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.

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 of working 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.

The Partnership completed one purchase of producing properties. This acquisition
involved the purchase of working interests in 21 properties, all of which are
operated by the managing general partner. In subsequent years, the Partnership
participated in the drilling of three additional wells and one well was plugged
and abandoned. At December 31, 2000 the Partnership had 23 producing oil and gas
properties.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

                                     PART II


ITEM 5.    MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
           DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 11,222 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 507 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, $458,003 and $165,195, 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

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 50% to $742,384 for 2000 as
compared to $495,753 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 17,170
barrels of oil, 9,806 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 37,939 mcf of
gas were sold, or 33,299 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 19,878
barrels of oil, 10,402 barrels of NGLs and 44,467 mcf of gas were sold, or
37,691 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.62, or 75%, from
$16.82 for 1999 to $29.44 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.10, or 56%, from $9.18 for 1999 to $14.28 in 2000. The average
price received per mcf of gas increased 72%, from $1.48 for 1999 to $2.55 in
2000. 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 2000.

A gain on disposition of assets of $9,859 was recognized during 2000 from
salvage income received on one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 2000 to $411,959 as compared to $619,585
in 1999, a decrease of $207,626, or 34%. This decrease was primarily the result
of declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties and depletion, offset by
increases in production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $322,751 in 2000 and $237,875 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $84,876, or 36%. The increase was primarily due to additional
workover expense and well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well
production and higher production taxes associated with higher oil and gas
prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
50% from $14,872 in 1999 to $22,272 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $18,064 in 2000 and $8,371 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $280,950 related to its oil and gas properties during 1999.

Depletion was $66,936 in 2000 as compared to $85,888 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $18,952, or 22%. This decrease was primarily due to a reduction in
the Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with
SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1999 and a decline in oil production of
2,708 barrels for the period ended December 31, 2000 compared to the same period
in 1999, offset by a 20,203 barrels of oil decrease in proved reserves during
2000 as a result of a significant well having lower reserves due to a revised
decline curve.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 12% to $495,753 from
$443,496 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 19,878 barrels of oil,
10,402 barrels of NGLs and 44,467 mcf of gas were sold, or 37,691 BOEs. In 1998,
22,482 barrels of oil, 12,009 barrels of NGLs and 51,099 mcf of gas were sold,
or 43,008 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.68, or 28%, from
$13.14 for 1998 to $16.82 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.87, or 45%, from $6.31 for 1998 to $9.18 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 5%, from $1.41 for 1998 to $1.48 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses increased in 1999 to $619,585 as compared to $471,884
in 1998, an increase of $147,701, or 31%. This increase was primarily the result
of increases in the impairment of oil and gas properties and G&A expenses,
offset by declines in depletion and production costs.

Production costs were $237,875 in 1999 and $252,339 in 1998, resulting in a
$14,464, or 6%, decrease. The decrease was due to less well maintenance costs
and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in production taxes due to the
increase in oil and gas revenues.

During this period, G&A increased 12% from $13,305 in 1998 to $14,872 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $8,371 in
1999 and $9,891 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized a non-cash SFAS 121 charge of $280,950 related to its
oil and gas properties during 1999.

Depletion was $85,888 in 1999 compared to $206,240 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $120,352, or 58%. This decrease was the result of an increase in
proved reserves of 77,231 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a decline in oil production of 2,604



                                       6
   1277

barrels for the period ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same period in
1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $159,721 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $251,009 and a decline in working capital of $988,
offset by increases in production costs paid of $84,876 and G&A expenses paid of
$7,400. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in
commodity prices during 2000 which contributed an additional $355,912 to oil and
gas receipts, offset by $104,903 resulting from the decline in production during
2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional workover expenses
and well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production. The increase
in G&A was primarily due to higher percentage of the managing general partner's
G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of
increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were
related to various upgrades of equipment.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $9,859 recognized during 2000 were from
equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $462,629, of which $4,626 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $458,003 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $166,787, of which
$1,592 was distributed to the managing general partner and $165,195 to the
limited partners.

                PARKER & PARSLEY PRODUCING PROPERTIES 88-A, L.P.
                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                        NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                       December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1.    ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

      Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 88-A, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a
limited partnership organized in 1988 under the laws of the State of Delaware.
The Partnership's managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA,
Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

      The Partnership engages in oil and gas 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:

      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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

      Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

      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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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.



                                       14
   1285

      Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

      Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

      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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

      Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

      In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $280,950 related to
its proved oil and gas properties during 1999.

NOTE 4.    INCOME TAXES

      The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $949,574 less than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

      As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $12.90 per barrel of NGLs and $7.43 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $3,258,000 and undiscounted was $6,795,000.

      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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

      The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

      Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

      Partnership's acquisition, drilling and completion costs and 1% of its

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2038, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley Private Investment 88, L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized
in 1988 as a general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was
converted to a Delaware limited partnership in 1989.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
  and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 5% to $625,806 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $598,423 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by

                                        6

a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 15,090 barrels
of oil, 4,484 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 28,101 mcf of gas were
sold, or 24,258 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, 15,271 barrels of oil, 8,042 barrels of NGLs and 30,899 mcf of
gas were sold, or 28,463 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased slightly from $27.54 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.55 for the same period in 2001. The
average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.26, or 16%, from $14.01
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.27 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per mcf of gas increased 131% from $2.11 during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.88 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 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 six months ended June 30,
2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $290,136 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $270,220 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$19,916, or 7%. This increase was due to an increase in production costs, offset
by declines in depletion and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $235,058 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$212,006 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $23,052 increase, or 11%.
The increase was the result of additional well maintenance and workover costs
incurred to stimulate well production and higher production taxes due to higher
oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased
13%, from $17,953 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $15,645 for the same
period in 2001 due to a decrease in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $39,433 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$40,261 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $828, or 2%. This decrease
was due to a decline in oil production of 181 barrels for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 12% to $286,574 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $324,217 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decrease in production and a decline in
the average price received for oil, offset by higher average prices received for

2,446 barrels of NGLs and 13,463 mcf of gas were sold, or 12,181 BOEs. For the
three months ended June 30, 2000, 8,143 barrels of oil, 4,278 barrels of NGLs
and 15,250 mcf of gas were sold, or 14,963 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.67, or 2%, from $27.83
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.16 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.13, or
1%, from $13.99 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.12 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 46% to
$3.61 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.48 during the same
period in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $141,490 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $130,309 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$11,181, or 9%. This increase was due to increases in production costs and
depletion, offset by a decrease in G&A.

Production costs were $113,938 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$101,258 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $12,680 increase, or 13%.
The increase was due to additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate
well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 26%, from $9,727 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $7,164 for the same period in 2001 due to a decrease in audit
and tax fees.

Depletion was $20,388 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$19,324 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,064, or 6%. This increase
was attributable to a decline in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 as a result of lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil
production of 652 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared
to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $94,282 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $26,974 and
reductions in working capital of $88,052 and G&A expenses of $2,308, offset by
an increase in production costs of $23,052. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an
additional $103,907 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $76,933 resulting from
the decline in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.
The increase in production costs was primarily due to additional well
maintenance and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production and
increased production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices. The
decrease in G&A was primarily due to a decrease in audit and tax fees.

to equipment credits on active properties.

holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.        ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley Private Investment 88, L.P. (the "Partnership") was
organized in 1988 as a general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas
and was converted to a Delaware limited partnership in 1989. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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.        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

      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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.




                                       7
   1318
        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentation.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.       IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the



                                       8

Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $118,049 related to
its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

NOTE 4.        INCOME TAXES

        The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $148,226 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.25 per barrel of NGLs and $7.86 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $5,885,000 and undiscounted was $12,796,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NOTE 9.        PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of
the Partnership agreement:

        Managing general partner - The managing general partner of the
        Partnership is Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
        manage, control and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As
        managing general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties,
        all production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
        Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
        received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and
        gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to
        the Partnership. 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. The managing general partner is also responsible for




                                       12
   1323
        1% of the guaranty and loan commitment fees. 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 partners entered into subscription
        agreements for aggregate capital contributions of $9,960,000. Pioneer
        USA is required to contribute amounts equal to 1% of initial Partnership
        capital less commission and organization and offering costs 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
    RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 63% to $1,311,024 for 2000 as
compared to $805,538 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 30,403
barrels of oil, 15,881 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 59,532 mcf of
gas were sold, or 56,206 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 30,947
barrels of oil, 17,855 barrels of NGLs and 66,701 mcf of gas were sold, or
59,919 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.44, or 73%, from
$17.01 in 1999 to $29.45 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $6.29, or 67%, from $9.32 in 1999 to $15.61 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 67% from $1.69 in 1999 to $2.82 in 2000. 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 2000.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $535,959 as compared to $526,775
in 1999, an increase of $9,184, or 2%. The increase was due to increases in
production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a
decline in depletion.

Production costs were $425,425 in 2000 and $361,694 in 1999, resulting in a
$63,731 increase, or 18%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
38% from $24,166 in 1999 to $33,284 in 2000, primarily due to a higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The
Partnership paid the managing general partner $29,882 in 2000 and $18,547 in
1999 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid
directly by the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the
allocated expenses based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative
to the non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

Depletion was $77,250 in 2000 compared to $140,915 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $63,665, or 45%. This decrease was primarily due to a 111,058
barrels of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher
commodity prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 25% to $805,538 from
$645,636 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received. In 1999, 30,947 barrels of oil, 17,855 barrels of NGLs and 66,701 mcf
of gas



   1325

were sold, or 59,919 BOEs. In 1998, 33,377 barrels of oil, 15,556 barrels of
NGLs and 61,718 mcf of gas were sold, or 59,219 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.70, or 28%, from
$13.31 in 1998 to $17.01 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.53, or 37%, from $6.79 in 1998 to $9.32 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 9% from $1.55 in 1998 to $1.69 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $526,775 as compared to $854,253
in 1998, a decrease of $327,478, or 38%. The decrease was due to declines in
depletion, the impairment of oil and gas properties and production costs, offset
by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $361,694 in 1999 and $390,754 in 1998, resulting in a
$29,060 decrease, or 7%. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in production taxes due to
increased oil and gas revenues.

During this period, G&A increased 34% from $17,997 in 1998 to $24,166 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $18,547 in
1999 and $14,864 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $118,049 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $140,915 in 1999 compared to $327,453 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $186,538, or 57%. This decrease was the result of an increase in
proved reserves of 220,875 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $402,704 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $511,423, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $63,731, G&A expenses paid of $9,118 and working capital of $35,870. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $578,466 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $67,043 resulting from the decline in production during 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance costs
incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to
higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited
to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on several oil and gas properties.

Proceeds recognized during 2000 of $467 were due to equipment credits received
on an active property.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $803,002, of which $8,030 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $794,972 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $312,790, of which
$3,128 was distributed to the managing general partner and $309,662 to the
limited partners.

---------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2039, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 89-A Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized in 1989 as a
general  partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was converted to a
Delaware limited partnership in 1990.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
  and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 13% to $192,720 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $169,889 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by

                                        6

   1336



a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 3,972 barrels
of oil, 1,804 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 11,172 mcf of gas were
sold, or 7,638 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June
30, 2000, 4,172 barrels of oil, 2,251 barrels of NGLs and 10,163 mcf of gas were
sold, or 8,117 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.21, or 1%, from $27.56
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.77 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.76, or 6%, from $13.74
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.50 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per mcf of gas increased 114% from $2.35 during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $5.03 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Gains on disposition of assets of $3,713 and $2,083 were recognized during the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The gain recognized
during the period ended June 30, 2001 was due to salvage income received on one
well plugged and abandoned during the current period. The gain recognized during
the period ended June 30, 2000 was from equipment credits received on one fully
depleted well. Abandoned property costs of $2,263 were incurred during 2001 to
plug and abandon this well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $94,445 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $87,917 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $6,528,
or 7%. This increase was due to increases in abandoned property costs,
production costs, general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion.

Production costs were $74,044 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared
to $71,809 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $2,235 increase, or 3%.
This increase was primarily due to higher workover expenses incurred to
stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
22% from $5,257 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $6,388 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $11,750 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$10,851 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $899, or 8%. This increase
was the result of a decrease in proved reserves during the period ended June 30,
2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil production of 200
barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in
2000.

   1337



Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 7% to $82,496 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $88,880 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received for oil and
NGLs and a decrease in production, offset by higher average prices received for
gas. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 1,795 barrels of oil, 965 barrels
of NGLs and 5,567 mcf of gas were sold, or 3,688 BOEs. For the three months
ended June 30, 2000, 2,094 barrels of oil, 1,179 barrels of NGLs and 5,406 mcf
of gas were sold, or 4,174 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.27, or 1%, from $27.65
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.38 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased $1.65, or
12%, from $13.65 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $12.00 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 42% to
$3.90 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.75 during the same
period in 2000.

Gains on disposition of assets of $2,083 were attributable to equipment credits
received on one fully depleted well for the three months ended June 30, 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $48,809 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $47,741 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$1,068, or 2%. This increase was due to increases in depletion and production
costs, offset by a decline in G&A.

Production costs were $40,659 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$40,401 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $258 increase. This increase
was the result of additional workover costs incurred to stimulate well
production, offset by lower well maintenance costs.

During this period, G&A decreased 12% from $2,816 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $2,476 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a decline
in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $5,746 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$4,524 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,222, or 27%. This increase
was the result of a decrease in proved reserves during the period ended June 30,
2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil production of 299
barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period
in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $40,237 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period in 2000. This increase resulted
from an increase of $22,755 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction in
working capital of $23,111, offset by increases in production costs of $2,235,
G&A expenses of $1,131 and abandoned property costs of $2,263. The increase in
oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001
which contributed an additional $29,717 to oil and gas receipts, offset by
$6,962 resulting from the decline in production during 2001 as compared to the
same period in 2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to
higher workover costs incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A
was primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A
being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased
oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on
various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from salvage income of $2,083 were recognized during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 from equipment credits on one fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$83,321, of which $833 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$82,488 was distributed to the limited partners. For the same period ended June
30, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $102,690, of which $1,027 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $101,663 was distributed to the
limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common

                                        9

   1339


stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

The Partners
Parker & Parsley 89-A Conv., L.P.
  (A Delaware Limited Partnership):

We have audited the balance sheets of Parker & Parsley 89-A Conv., L.P. as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners'

management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Parker & Parsley 89-A Conv.,
L.P. as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 89-A Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized in
1989 as a general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was
converted to a Delaware limited partnership in 1990. The Partnership's managing
general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


                                       7
   1347

        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as

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, 2000, 1999 and 1998 and
changes in such quantities during the years then ended. All of the Partnership's

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $12.34 per barrel of NGLs and $8.31 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $1,685,000 and undiscounted $3,469,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

        by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and gas revenue is
        initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to the
        Partnership. 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 partners entered into subscription
        agreements for aggregate capital contributions of $2,797,000. The
        managing general partner is required to contribute amounts equal to 1%
        of initial Partnership capital less commission and organization and
        offering costs 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 59% to $383,529 for 2000 as
compared to $241,781 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 8,466
barrels of oil, 4,626 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 20,057 mcf of
gas were sold, or 16,435 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 9,190
barrels of oil, 4,976 barrels of NGLs and 20,484 mcf of gas were sold, or 17,580
BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.48, or 73%, from
$17.11 in 1999 to $29.59 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.88, or 62%, from $9.54 in 1999 to $15.42 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 70% from $1.81 in 1999 to $3.07 in 2000. 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 2000.

During 2000 and 1999, gains on disposition of assets of $1,765 and $1,483,
respectively, were attributable to credits received from equipment salvage on
one fully depleted well in each year.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $175,856 as compared to $167,660
in 1999, an increase of $8,196, or 5%. The increase was due to increases in
production costs, the impairment of oil and gas properties and general and
administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $135,124 in 2000 and $118,700 in 1999, resulting in a
$16,424 increase, or 14%. The increase 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.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
29% from $9,612 in 1999 to $12,370 in 2000, primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $10,994 in 2000 and $7,203 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $6,198 related to its oil and gas properties during 2000.

   1354

Depletion was $22,165 in 2000 as compared to $39,348 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $17,183, or 44%. This decrease was primarily due to a 28,723 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 23% to $241,781 from
$196,186 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received. In 1999, 9,190 barrels of oil, 4,976 barrels of natural gas liquids
("NGLs") and 20,484 mcf of gas were sold, or 17,580 barrel of oil equivalents
("BOEs"). In 1998, 9,782 barrels of oil, 4,320 barrels of NGLs and 21,106 mcf of
gas were sold, or 17,620 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.88, or 29%, from
$13.23 in 1998 to $17.11 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.59, or 37%, from $6.95 in 1998 to $9.54 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 4% from $1.74 in 1998 to $1.81 in 1999.

During 1999, gain on disposition of assets of $1,483 was attributable to credits
received from equipment salvage on one active well. Gain on disposition of
assets of $648 was attributable to credits received in 1998 from the disposal of
oil and gas equipment on a well that was plugged and abandoned in a prior year.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $167,660 as compared to $349,225
in 1998, a decrease of $181,565, or 52%. The decrease was due to declines in the
impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production costs, offset by
an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $118,700 in 1999 and $121,865 in 1998, resulting in a
$3,165 decrease, or 3%. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in production taxes.

During this period, G&A increased 37% from $7,006 in 1998 to $9,612 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $7,203 in
1999 and $5,808 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized a non-cash SFAS 121 charge of $103,108 related to its
oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $39,348 in 1999 compared to $117,246 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $77,898, or 66%. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in
proved reserves of 70,433 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $118,472 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $143,417, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $16,424, G&A expenses paid of $2,758 and working capital of $5,763. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $171,552 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $28,135 resulting from the decline in production during 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices and workover and well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily
due to higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated
(limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas
revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were
related to equipment upgrades on active properties.

During 2000 and 1999, proceeds from disposition of assets of $1,765 and $1,483,
respectively, were from equipment credits received on an active well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $226,382, of which $2,264 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $224,118 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $80,698, of which
$807 was distributed to the managing general partner and $79,891 to the limited
partners.

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2039, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 13% to $573,213 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $505,131 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 11,811 barrels

                                        7

   1366



of oil, 5,378 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 33,232 mcf of gas were
sold, or 22,728 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, 12,412 barrels of oil, 6,682 barrels of NGLs and 30,228 mcf of
gas were sold, or 24,132 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.21, or 1%, from $27.56
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.77 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.76, or 6%, from $13.74
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.50 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per mcf of gas increased 114% from $2.35 during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $5.03 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Gains on disposition of assets of $11,040 and $6,194 were recognized during the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The gain recognized
during 2001 was due to salvage income received from one well plugged and
abandoned during the current period. The gain recognized during 2000 was from
equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Abandoned property costs
of $8,824 were incurred during 2001 to plug and abandon this well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $282,909 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $262,057 for the same period in 2000, resulting in an
increase of $20,852, or 8%. This increase was due to increases in abandoned
property costs, production costs, general and administrative expenses ("G&A")
and depletion.

Production costs were $219,851 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$213,496 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $6,355 increase, or 3%. The
increase was primarily due to higher workover expenses incurred to stimulate
well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
19% from $16,272 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $19,284 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $34,950 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$32,289 for the same period in 2000, an increase in depletion of $2,661, or 8%.
This increase was primarily due to a reduction in proved reserves during the
period ended June 30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decrease
in oil production of 601 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to the same period in 2000.

                                        8

   1367



Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 7% to $245,398 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $264,301 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decline in production and lower average
prices received for oil and NGLs, offset by an increase in the average price
received for gas. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 5,345 barrels of
oil, 2,870 barrels of NGLs and 16,567 mcf of gas were sold, or 10,976 BOEs. For
the three months ended June 30, 2000, 6,233 barrels of oil, 3,495 barrels of
NGLs and 16,086 mcf of gas were sold, or 12,409 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.27, or 1%, from $27.65
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.38 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased $1.65, or 12%, from
$13.65 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $12.00 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 42% from $2.75
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.90 for the same period in
2001.

Gains on disposition of assets of $6,194 were recognized during the three months
ended June 30, 2000 from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $145,627 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $142,416 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$3,211, or 2%. This increase was due to increases in depletion and production
costs, offset by a decline in G&A.

Production costs were $120,918 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$120,113 for the same period in 2000 resulting in an $805 increase. This
increase was primarily due to higher workover costs incurred to stimulate well
production, offset by lower well maintenance costs.

During this period, G&A decreased 14% from $8,814 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $7,577 for the same period in 2001 due to a decline in audit
and tax fees.

Depletion was $17,132 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$13,489 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $3,643, or 27%. This
increase was primarily due to downward revisions to proved reserves during the
period ended June 30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in
oil production of 888 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $120,126 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase of $67,811 in oil and gas sales receipts and a

                                        9

   1368



reduction in working capital of $70,506, offset by increases in abandoned
property costs of $8,824, production costs of $6,355 and G&A expenses of $3,012.
The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity
prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $88,303 to oil and gas
receipts, offset by $20,492 resulting from the decrease in production during
2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in production costs
was primarily due to higher workover expenses incurred to stimulate well
production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to a higher percentage of the
managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit
and tax fees.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 were related to upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active properties.

Proceeds from salvage income of $6,194 were recognized during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 from equipment credits on one fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$247,760, of which $2,478 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$245,282 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $305,356, of which $3,054 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $302,302 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.


                                       10


   1369



Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

   1372

                                     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 Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").
Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 8,317 limited partnership
interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA supplies all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 63% was attributable to sales made to
Plains Marketing, L.P. Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one
purchaser would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil,
natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.

The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and



                                       2
   1373

ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that could expose the
Partnership to substantial liability due to pollution and other environmental
damages. 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.

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 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. One well has been plugged and abandoned. At December 31, 2000, 32 wells
were producing.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 5.    MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTEREST AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
           DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 8,317 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 609 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, $666,425 and $237,558, 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

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 59% to $1,140,280 for 2000 as
compared to $718,969 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 25,176
barrels of oil, 13,747 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 59,638 mcf of
gas were sold, or 48,863 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 27,333
barrels of oil, 14,796 barrels of NGLs and 60,905 mcf of gas were sold, or
52,280 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.48, or 73%, from
$17.11 in 1999 to $29.59 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.88, or 62%, from $9.54 in 1999 to $15.42 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 70% from $1.81 in 1999 to $3.07 in 2000. 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 2000.

Gains on disposition of assets of $5,248 and $4,410 in 2000 and 1999,
respectively, were attributable to equipment credits on one fully depleted well
in each year.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $523,646 as compared to $498,672
in 1999, an increase of $24,974, or 5%. The increase was primarily due to
increases in production costs, the impairment of oil and gas properties and
general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $402,118 in 2000 and $352,977 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $49,141, or 14%. The increase 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.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
31% from $28,521 in 1999 to $37,259 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $32,691 in 2000 and $21,420 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.



                                       5
   1376


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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $18,391 related to its oil and gas properties during 2000.

Depletion was $65,878 in 2000 as compared to $117,174 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $51,296, or 44%. This decrease was primarily due to a 85,285 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 23% to $718,969 from
$583,396 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 27,333 barrels of oil,
14,796 barrels of NGLs and 60,905 mcf of gas were sold, or 52,280 BOEs. In 1998,
29,084 barrels of oil, 12,847 barrels of NGLs and 62,751 mcf of gas were sold,
or 52,390 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.88, or 29%, from
$13.23 in 1998 to $17.11 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.59, or 37%, from $6.95 in 1998 to $9.54 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 4% from $1.74 in 1998 to $1.81 in 1999.

Gain on disposition of assets of $4,410 in 1999 was attributable to equipment
credits on one fully depleted well. During 1998, gain on disposition of assets
of $1,926 was attributable to credits received from the disposal of oil and gas
equipment on a well that was plugged and abandoned in a prior year.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $498,672 as compared to $1,038,152
in 1998, a decrease of $539,480, or 52%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production
costs, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $352,977 in 1999 and $362,377 in 1998, resulting in a
$9,400 decrease, or 3%. The decrease was due to declines in ad valorem taxes and
well maintenance costs, offset by an increase in workover costs incurred to
stimulate well production and an increase in production taxes due to increased
oil and gas revenues.

During this period, G&A increased 38% from $20,635 in 1998 to $28,521 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $21,420 in
1999 and $17,270 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized a non-cash SFAS 121 charge of $306,826 related to its
oil and gas properties during 1998.



                                       6
   1377

Depletion was $117,174 in 1999 compared to $348,314 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $231,140, or 66%. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in
proved reserves of 209,480 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $351,738 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $426,425, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $49,141, G&A expenses paid of $8,738 and working capital of $16,808. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $510,320 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $83,895 resulting from the decline in production during 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. The increase in G&A was
primarily due to higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were related to
expenditures for equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $5,248 and $4,410 recognized in 2000 and
1999, respectively, were from equipment credits received on one fully depleted
well in each year.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $673,157, of which $6,732 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $666,425 to the limited
partners. For 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $239,958, of which
$2,400 was distributed to the managing general partner and $237,558 to the
limited partners.

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

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's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

      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.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

      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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants. The
carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

      Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

      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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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.



                                       14
   1385

      Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

      Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

      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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

      Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

      In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $18,391 and $306,826
related to its proved oil and gas properties during 2000 and 1998, respectively.

NOTE 4.    INCOME TAXES

      The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $155,457 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

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, 2000, 1999 and 1998 and
changes in such quantities during the years then ended. All of the Partnership's
reserves are proved developed and located within the United States. The
Partnership's reserves are based on an evaluation prepared Williamson Petroleum
Consultants, Inc., an independent petroleum consultant, using criteria
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

      As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $12.34 per barrel of NGLs and $8.31 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $5,009,000 and undiscounted was $10,314,000.

      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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

      The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

     Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

have an adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership to sell its oil, NGLs
and gas production.

NOTE 9.    PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

      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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to manage, control
      and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As managing general
      partner and operator of the Partnership's properties, all production
      expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the Partnership. The
      majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are received directly
      by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and gas revenue is
      initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to the Partnership.
      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.



                                       19
   1390

      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.

----------

(a) Stated in thousands.


(b) The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
    value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
    and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
    2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
    expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
    cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c) Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
    $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
    investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should not
    assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the value
    or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d) The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
    (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
    during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
    the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the operating
    period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as in the
    merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
    administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
    the partnership to its partners.

(e) The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
    partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
    which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share of
    the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3% of
    the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July 13,
    2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses represent
    estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell the assets
    of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs associated with
    such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the partnership.


(f) Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
    offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
    your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
    advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
    in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

    The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

    The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2039, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.    Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 89-B Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized as a general
partnership in 1989 under the laws of the State of Texas and was converted to a
Delaware limited partnership on May 30, 1990.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
  and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 6% to $432,217 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $409,534 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 9,172 barrels

                                        6

   1407



of oil, 3,753 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 23,283 mcf of gas were
sold, or 16,806 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, 10,168 barrels of oil, 5,936 barrels of NGLs and 21,901 mcf of
gas were sold, or 19,754 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.25, or 1%, from $27.44
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.69 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.09, or 22%, from
$13.93 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $17.02 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 125% from $2.18
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.91 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $224,263 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $208,637 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$15,626, or 7%. This increase was due to an increase in production costs,
depletion and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $174,038 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$164,199 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $9,839 increase, or 6%.
This increase was due to additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred
to stimulate well production and higher production taxes due to higher oil and
gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
12%, from $12,598 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $14,077 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $36,148 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$31,840 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $4,308, or 14%. This
increase was due to a reduction in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 as a result of lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil
production of 996 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 10% to $189,915 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $210,761 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decrease in production and lower
average prices received for oil, offset by higher average prices received for
gas and NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 4,471 barrels of oil,
1,969 barrels of NGLs and 10,803 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,241 BOEs. For the


                                        7

   1408



three months ended June 30, 2000, 5,131 barrels of oil, 3,114 barrels of NGLs
and 10,684 mcf of gas were sold, or 10,026 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.78, or 3%, from $27.73
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.95 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.76, or
13%, from $13.12 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.88 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 44% to
$3.72 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.58 during the same
period in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $112,086 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $105,168 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$6,918, or 7%. This increase was due to increases in production costs and
depletion, offset by a decrease in G&A.

Production costs were $88,828 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$81,982 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $6,846 increase, or 8%. The
increase was due to an increase in well maintenance and workover costs incurred
to stimulate well production, offset by lower production taxes due to lower oil
prices.

During this period, G&A decreased 14%, from $6,635 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $5,698 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a lower
allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of decreased oil and gas revenues and a
decrease in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $17,560 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$16,551 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,009, or 6%. This increase
was attributable to a decrease in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 as a result of lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil
production of 660 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared
to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $76,854 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period in 2000. This increase was due
to an increase of $22,400 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction in
working capital of $65,772, offset by increases in production costs of $9,839
and G&A expenses of $1,479. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from
the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional
$80,365 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $57,965 resulting from the decline in
production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in
production costs was due to additional well maintenance and workover costs
incurred to stimulate well production and increased production taxes associated
with higher oil and gas prices. The increase in G&A was due to a higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues and an
increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on
various oil and gas properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$168,850, of which $1,689 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$167,161 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $211,637, of which $2,116 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $209,521 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.       ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

      Parker & Parsley 89-B Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized as a
general partnership in 1989 under the laws of the State of Texas and was
converted to a Delaware limited partnership on May 30, 1990. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

      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.       SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

      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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

      Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

      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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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.

                                       7
   1418

      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
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

      Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

      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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

      Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.       IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

      In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $27,748 and $262,396
related to its proved oil and gas properties during 2000 and 1998, respectively.

                                       8

liabilities was $191,325 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

      As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.35 per barrel of NGLs and $7.90 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $3,414,000 and undiscounted was $6,785,000.

      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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

     The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by
applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

     Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

was $37,745 which is included in the caption "Accounts receivable - oil and gas
sales" in the accompanying Balance Sheet.

      Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one purchaser would not
have an adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership to sell its oil, NGLs
and gas production.

NOTE 9.       PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

      The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of the
Partnership agreement:

      Managing general partner - The managing general partner of the Partnership
      is Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to manage, control
      and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As managing general
      partner and operator of the Partnership's properties, all production
      expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the Partnership. The
      majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are received directly
      by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and gas revenue is
      initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to the Partnership.
      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, 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
      undistributed profits.

                                       12
   1423

      Initial capital contributions - The partners entered into subscription
      agreements for aggregate capital contributions of $6,307,000. The managing
      general partner is required to contribute amounts equal to 1% of initial
      Partnership capital less commission and organization and offering costs
      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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 61% to $873,058 for 2000 as
compared to $542,232 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 19,708
barrels of oil, 11,251 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 42,179 mcf of
gas were sold, or 37,989 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 20,322
barrels of oil, 12,263 barrels of NGLs and 46,681 mcf of gas were sold, or
40,365 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.25, or 72%, from
$16.96 in 1999 to $29.21 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.99, or 63%, from $9.57 in 1999 to $15.56 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 69% from $1.72 in 1999 to $2.90 in 2000. 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 2000.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $448,166 as compared to $425,787
in 1999, an increase of $22,379, or 5%. The increase was due to increases in the
impairment of oil and gas properties, production costs and general and
administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $326,082 in 2000 and $305,897 in 1999, resulting in a
$20,185 increase, or 7%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by a decline in well
maintenance costs.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
38% from $20,352 in 1999 to $28,155 in 2000, primarily due to a higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The
Partnership paid the managing general partner $25,658 in 2000 and $16,168 in
1999 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid
directly by the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the
allocated expenses based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative
to the non-partnership activities of the managing general partners. The method
of allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $27,748 related to its oil and gas properties during 2000.

Depletion was $66,181 in 2000 as compared to $99,538 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $33,357, or 34%. This decrease was primarily due to an 8,572 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.


   1425

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 15% to $542,232 from
$471,148 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 20,322 barrels of oil,
12,263 barrels of NGLs and 46,681 mcf of gas were sold, or 40,365 BOEs. In 1998,
22,378 barrels of oil, 13,103 barrels of NGLs and 52,345 mcf of gas were sold,
or 44,205 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.70, or 28%, from
$13.26 in 1998 to $16.96 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.63, or 38%, from $6.94 in 1998 to $9.57 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 8% from $1.60 in 1998 to $1.72 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $425,787 as compared to $842,701
in 1998, a decrease of $416,914, or 49%. The decrease was due to declines in the
impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production costs, offset by
an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $305,897 in 1999 and $322,354 in 1998, resulting in a
$16,457 decrease, or 5%. The decrease was due to declines in ad valorem taxes
and well maintenance costs.

During this period, G&A increased 27% from $16,076 in 1998 to $20,352 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $16,168 in
1999 and $14,082 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized a non-cash SFAS 121 charge of $262,396 related to its
oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $99,538 in 1999 compared to $241,875 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $142,337, or 59%. This decrease was the result of an increase in
proved reserves of 173,770 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $259,724 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $334,289, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $20,185, G&A expenses paid of $7,803 and working capital of $46,577. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $381,025 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $46,736 resulting from the decline in production during 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by a decline in well
maintenance costs. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher percentage of
the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited


   1426

to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on several oil and gas properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $474,240, of which $4,742 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $469,498 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $154,304, of which
$1,543 was distributed to the managing general partner and $152,761 to the
limited partners.

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2039, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1. Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 89-B, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1989 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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report 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, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
 and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 6% to $475,940 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $450,799 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 10,095 barrels

                                        6

   1436



of oil, 4,141 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 25,638 mcf of gas were
sold, or 18,509 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, 11,198 barrels of oil, 6,538 barrels of NGLs and 24,114 mcf of
gas were sold, or 21,755 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.25, or 1%, from $27.44
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.69 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.09, or 22%, from
$13.93 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $17.02 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 125% from $2.18
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.91 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 those received during the six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $247,052 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $229,849 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$17,203, or 7%. This increase was due to an increase in production costs,
depletion and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $191,734 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$180,904 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $10,830, or 6%, increase.
This increase was the result of additional well maintenance and workover costs
incurred to stimulate well production and higher production taxes due to higher
oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
12%, from $13,868 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $15,495 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $39,823 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$35,077 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $4,746, or 14%. This
increase was due to a decrease in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 as a result of lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil
production of 1,103 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared
to the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 10% to $209,198 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $232,094 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decrease in production and lower
average prices received for oil, offset by increases in the average prices

                                        7

received for gas and NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 4,922
barrels of oil, 2,174 barrels of NGLs and 11,900 mcf of gas were sold, or 9,079
BOEs. For the three months ended June 30, 2000, 5,654 barrels of oil, 3,426
barrels of NGLs and 11,762 mcf of gas were sold, or 11,040 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.78, or 3%, from $27.73
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.95 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.76, or
13%, from $13.12 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.88 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 44% to
$3.72 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.58 during the same
period in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $123,475 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $115,883 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$7,592, or 7%. This increase was due to increases in production costs and
depletion, offset by a decrease in G&A.

Production costs were $97,874 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$90,344 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $7,530 increase, or 8%. The
increase was due to an increase in well maintenance and workover costs incurred
to stimulate well production, offset by a decrease in production taxes due to
lower oil prices.

During this period, G&A decreased 14%, from $7,307 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $6,278 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a lower
allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of decreased oil and gas revenues and a
decrease in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $19,323 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$18,232 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,091, or 6%. This increase
was attributable to a decrease in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 as a result of lower commodity prices, offset by a decrease in oil
production of 732 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared
to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $84,725 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period in 2000. This increase was due
to an increase of $24,822 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction in
working capital of $72,360, offset by increases in production costs of $10,830
and G&A expenses of $1,627. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from
the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional
$88,680 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $63,858 resulting from the decline in
production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in
production costs was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover

                                        8
   1438

costs incurred to stimulate well production and increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices. The increase in G&A was primarily due
to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated
(limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas
revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on
various oil and gas properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$186,038, of which $1,860 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$184,178 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $233,181, of which $2,332 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $230,849 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer

                                        9

in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 89-B, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1989 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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.


                                       7
   1447

        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $30,586 and $289,124
related to its proved oil and gas properties during 2000 and 1998, respectively.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.35 per barrel of NGLs and $7.90 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $3,756,000 and undiscounted was $7,461,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NOTE 9. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
          manage, control and administer all


                                       12
   1452

          Program and Partnership affairs. As managing general partner and
          operator of the Partnership's properties, all production expenses are
          incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the Partnership. The majority of
          the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are received directly by the
          Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and gas revenue is
          initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to the
          Partnership. 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
             $6,949,000. 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 61% to $961,197 for 2000 as
compared to $597,130 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 21,703
barrels of oil, 12,386 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 46,454 mcf of
gas were sold, or 41,831 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 22,376
barrels of oil, 13,503 barrels of NGLs and 51,400 mcf of gas were sold, or
44,446 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.25, or 72%, from
$16.96 in 1999 to $29.21 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.99, or 63%, from $9.57 in 1999 to $15.56 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 69% from $1.72 in 1999 to $2.90 in 2000. 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 2000.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $493,734 as compared to $469,149
in 1999, an increase of $24,585, or 5%. The increase was due to increases in the
impairment of oil and gas properties, production costs and general and
administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $359,243 in 2000 and $337,025 in 1999, resulting in a
$22,218 increase, or 7%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by a decline in well
maintenance costs.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
39% from $22,369 in 1999 to $31,002 in 2000, primarily due to a higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The
Partnership paid the managing general partner $28,269 in 2000 and $17,812 in
1999 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid
directly by the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the
allocated expenses based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative
to the non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $30,586 related to its oil and gas properties during 2000.

Depletion was $72,903 in 2000 as compared to $109,755 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $36,852, or 34%. This decrease was primarily due to an 8,955 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.


   1454

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 15% to $597,130 from
$518,801 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 22,376 barrels of oil,
13,503 barrels of NGLs and 51,400 mcf of gas were sold, or 44,446 BOEs. In 1998,
24,633 barrels of oil, 14,430 barrels of NGLs and 57,643 mcf of gas were sold,
or 48,670 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.70, or 28%, from
$13.26 in 1998 to $16.96 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.63, or 38%, from $6.94 in 1998 to $9.57 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 8% from $1.60 in 1998 to $1.72 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $469,149 as compared to $928,348
in 1998, a decrease of $459,199, or 49%. The decrease was due to declines in the
impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production costs, offset by
an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $337,025 in 1999 and $355,148 in 1998, resulting in an
$18,123 decrease, or 5%. The decrease was due to reductions in ad valorem taxes
and well maintenance costs.

During this period, G&A increased 27% from $17,625 in 1998 to $22,369 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $17,812 in
1999 and $15,438 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized a non-cash SFAS 121 charge of $289,124 related to its
oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $109,755 in 1999 compared to $266,451 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $156,696, or 59%. This decrease was the result of an increase in
proved reserves of 191,467 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $286,341 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $368,079, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $22,218, G&A expenses paid of $8,633 and working capital of $50,887. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $419,447 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $51,368 resulting from the decline in production during 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by a decline in well
maintenance costs. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher percentage of
the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited


   1455

to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on several oil and gas properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $522,514, of which $5,225 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $517,289 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $170,020, of which
$1,700 was distributed to the managing general partner and $168,320 to the
limited partners.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2039, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley Private Investment 89, L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized
in 1989 as a general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was
converted to a Delaware limited partnership in 1990.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
  and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended
  June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 16% to $452,230 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $388,517 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received and an

                                        6

   1465



increase in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 11,227 barrels
of oil, 3,467 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 21,188 mcf of gas were
sold, or 18,225 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, 11,599 barrels of oil, 3,620 barrels of NGLs and 13,324 mcf of
gas were sold, or 17,440 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased slightly from $27.07 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.14 for the same period in 2001. The
average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.53, or 11%, from $13.37
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.90 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per mcf of gas increased 131% from $1.96 during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.53 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $283,763 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $199,019 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$84,744, or 43%. This increase was due to increases in production costs, general
and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion.

Production costs were $233,371 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$158,403 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $74,968 increase, or 47%.
The increase was attributable to additional workover and well maintenance costs
incurred to stimulate well production and higher production taxes due to higher
oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
29%, from $11,655 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $15,038 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues in addition to increases in audit and
tax fees.

Depletion was $35,354 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$28,961 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $6,393, or 22%. This
increase was due to a reduction in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decrease in oil production
of 372 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 1% to $202,783 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $199,796 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas

                                        7

   1466



and an increase in production, offset by lower average prices received for oil
and NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 5,318 barrels of oil, 1,848
barrels of NGLs and 10,180 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,863 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 5,732 barrels of oil, 1,766 barrels of NGLs and
6,851 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,640 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.60, or 2%, from $27.37
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.77 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased $1.95, or
13%, from $15.25 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $13.30 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 51% to
$3.52 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.33 during the same
period in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $108,857 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $100,176 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$8,681, or 9%. This increase was due to increases in production costs and G&A,
offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $88,516 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$79,969 for the same period in 2000, resulting in an $8,547 increase, or 11%.
The increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover costs
incurred to stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A increased 6%, from $5,993 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $6,328 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a higher
allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Depletion was $14,013 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$14,214 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $201, or 1%. This decrease
was attributable to a decrease in oil production of 414 barrels for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $7,106 during the six months
ended June 30, 2001 from the same period in 2000. This decrease was due to
increases in production costs of $74,968 and G&A expenses of $3,383, offset by
an increase in oil and gas receipts of $63,298 and a reduction in working
capital of $7,947. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the
increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $40,500
to oil and gas receipts and $22,798 resulting from an increase in production
during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in production
costs was primarily due to additional workover and well maintenance costs
incurred to stimulate well production and increased production taxes associated

                                        8

   1467



with higher oil and gas prices. The increase in G&A was primarily due to a
higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited
to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues in
addition to increases in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to
equipment upgrades on various oil and gas properties for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $721 and $158 for the six months ended June
30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, were due to equipment credits received on
active wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$94,260, of which $943 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$93,317 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $201,904, of which $2,019 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $199,885 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

                                        9
   1468
The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.         ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley Private Investment 89, L.P. (the "Partnership") was
organized in 1989 as a general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas
and was converted to a Delaware limited partnership in 1990. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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.         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants. The
carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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.


                                       7
   1476


        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non- partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.         IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $44,421 and $18,873
related to its proved oil and gas properties during 1999 and 1998, respectively.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.18 per barrel of NGLs and $7.93 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $3,336,000 and undiscounted was $6,999,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NGLs and gas production.

NOTE 9.         PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of
the Partnership agreement:

        Managing general partner - The managing general partner of the
        Partnership is Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
        manage, control and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As
        managing general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties,
        all production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
        Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
        received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and
        gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to
        the Partnership. 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.


                                       12
   1481


        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 partners entered into subscription
        agreements for aggregate capital contributions of $7,060,000. Pioneer
        USA is required to contribute amounts equal to 1% of initial Partnership
        capital less commission and organization and offering costs 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 75% to $856,030 for 2000 as
compared to $487,809 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a slight decline in production. In 2000,
22,438 barrels of oil, 8,300 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 30,037
mcf of gas were sold, or 35,744 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999,
20,601 barrels of oil, 9,709 barrels of NGLs and 32,985 mcf of gas were sold, or
35,808 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $11.94, or 70%, from
$17.06 in 1999 to $29.00 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $6.17, or 71%, from $8.69 in 1999 to $14.86 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 74% from $1.57 in 1999 to $2.73 in 2000. 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 2000.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 2000 to $410,135 as compared to $451,760
in 1999, a decrease of $41,625, or 9%. The decrease was due to a decline in
depletion and the impairment of oil and gas properties, offset by an increase in
production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $321,340 in 2000 and $311,071 in 1999, resulting in a
$10,269 increase, or 3%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by lower well
maintenance costs.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
47% from $19,470 in 1999 to $28,583 in 2000, primarily due to a higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The
Partnership paid the managing general partner $25,581 in 2000 and $14,534 in
1999 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid
directly by the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the
allocated expenses based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative
to the non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $44,421 related to its oil and gas properties during 1999.

Depletion was $60,212 in 2000 as compared to $76,798 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $16,586, or 22%. This decrease was primarily due to a 23,945 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from charges
taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1999.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 2% to $487,809 from
$478,637 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 20,601 barrels of oil,
9,709 barrels of NGLs and 32,985 mcf of gas were sold, or 35,808 BOEs. In 1998,
25,672 barrels of oil, 11,069 barrels of NGLs and 44,624 mcf of gas were sold,
or 44,178 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.78, or 28%, from
$13.28 in 1998 to $17.06 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.12, or 32%, from $6.57 in 1998 to $8.69 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 8% from $1.46 in 1998 to $1.57 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $451,760 as compared to $594,818
in 1998, a decrease of $143,058, or 24%. The decrease was due to a decline in
depletion, offset by an increase in the impairment of oil and gas properties,
production costs and G&A.

Production costs were $311,071 in 1999 and $300,564 in 1998, resulting in a
$10,507 increase, or 3%. The increase was due to an increase in well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production, offset by declines in ad valorem
and production taxes.

During this period, G&A increased 15% from $16,898 in 1998 to $19,470 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $14,534 in
1999 and $14,259 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized non-cash SFAS 121 charges of $44,421 and $18,873
related to its oil and gas properties during 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Depletion was $76,798 in 1999 compared to $258,483 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $181,685, or 70%. This decrease was the result of a combination of
factors that included an increase in proved reserves of 160,524 barrels of oil
during 1999 as a result of higher commodity prices, a decline in oil production
of 5,071 barrels for the period ended December 31, 1999 compared to the same
period in 1998 and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $337,800 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $371,960, offset by increases in production costs paid
of


   1484


$10,269, G&A expenses paid of $9,113 and working capital of $14,778. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $347,665 to oil and gas receipts and
an increase of $24,295 resulting from the increase in oil production during
2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by lower well
maintenance costs. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher percentage of
the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $158 in 2000 were from equipment credits
received on one active well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $465,729, of which $4,657 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $461,072 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $103,460, of which
$1,035 was distributed to the managing general partner and $102,425 to the
limited partners.

-----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2040, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 2001
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 90-A Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized in 1990 as a
general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was converted to a
Delaware limited partnership in 1991.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
   and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 17% to $147,209 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $125,481 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by

                                        6

   1494



a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 3,049 barrels
of oil, 1,282 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 8,155 mcf of gas were
sold, or 5,690 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June
30, 2000, 3,105 barrels of oil, 1,853 barrels of NGLs and 6,902 mcf of gas were
sold, or 6,108 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.43, or 2%, from $27.46
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.89 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.31, or 24%, from
$13.56 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.87 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 126% from $2.20
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.98 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $3,262 was recognized during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 resulting from equipment credits received on one fully
depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $75,360 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $71,736 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $3,624,
or 5%. This increase was due to increases in production costs, general and
administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion.

Production costs were $57,199 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and $55,415
for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $1,784 increase, or 3%. The increase
was due to higher production taxes due to higher oil and gas prices and
additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production, offset
by a decrease in workover costs.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
26% from $3,892 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4,916 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $13,245 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$12,429 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $816, or 7%. This increase
was primarily due to a decrease in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices.

   1495



Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 5% to $65,354 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $61,992 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs, offset by lower average prices received for oil and a decrease in
production. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 1,414 barrels of oil, 749
barrels of NGLs and 4,057 mcf of gas were sold, or 2,839 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 1,455 barrels of oil, 976 barrels of NGLs and 3,472
mcf of gas were sold, or 3,010 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.22, or 1%, from $27.54
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.32 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.69, or 13%, from
$13.36 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.05 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 49% to $3.82 during
the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.57 during the same period in 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $3,262 was recognized during the three months
ended June 30, 2000 resulting from equipment credits received on one fully
depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $38,932 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $38,150 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$782, or 2%. This increase was due to an increase in depletion, offset by
declines in production costs and G&A.

Production costs were $30,568 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$30,880 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $312 decrease, or 1%. The
decrease was due to lower workover costs, offset by additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 1%, from $1,979 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $1,962 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a decrease
in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $6,402 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$5,291 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,111, or 21%. This increase
was attributable to a decrease in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 as a result of lower commodity prices.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $35,218 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $21,609 and a
reduction of $16,417 in working capital, offset by increases in production costs

                                        8

   1496



of $1,784 and G&A expenses of $1,024. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an
additional $26,555 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $4,946 resulting from 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 well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production, offset by a decrease in workover costs. The increase
in G&A was primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on various oil and
gas properties.

Proceeds of $3,262 recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2000 were
from equipment credits on one fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$47,627, of which $476 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$47,151 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $64,863, of which $649 was distributed to the
managing general partner and $64,214 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.


                                        9

   1497


Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

The Partners
Parker & Parsley 90-A Conv., L.P.

presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.       ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

      Parker & Parsley 90-A Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized in
1990 as a general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was
converted to a Delaware limited partnership in 1991. The Partnership's managing
general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

      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.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

      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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

      Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

      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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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.

                                       7
   1505

      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
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

      Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

      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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

      Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.       IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

      In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $11,795 related to its
proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

liabilities was $109,150 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

      As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.25 per barrel of NGLs and $7.89 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $1,053,000 and undiscounted was $2,025,000.

      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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

     The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by
applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

     Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

have an adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership to sell its oil, NGLs
and gas production.

NOTE 9.       PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

      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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to manage, control
      and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As managing general
      partner and operator of the Partnership's properties, all production
      expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the Partnership. The
      majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are received directly
      by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and gas revenue is
      initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to the Partnership.
      Under the 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.

                                       12
   1510

      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 partners entered into subscription
      agreements for aggregate capital contributions of $2,359,000. Pioneer USA
      is required to contribute amounts equal to 1% of initial Partnership
      capital less commission, organization and offering costs 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 65% to $279,230 for 2000 as
compared to $169,279 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 6,255
barrels of oil, 3,621 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 13,365 mcf of
gas were sold, or 12,104 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 6,133
barrels of oil, 3,997 barrels of NGLs and 14,989 mcf of gas were sold, or 12,628
BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.26, or 72%, from
$17.06 in 1999 to $29.32 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $6.04, or 63%, from $9.58 in 1999 to $15.62 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 67% from $1.76 in 1999 to $2.94 in 2000. 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 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $3,262 was recognized during 2000 resulting
from equipment credits received on one well.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $150,163 as compared to $136,517
in 1999, an increase of $13,646, or 10%. The increase was due to increases in
production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a
decline in depletion.

Production costs were $114,159 in 2000 and $93,178 in 1999, resulting in a
$20,981 increase, or 23%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
34% from $7,068 in 1999 to $9,468 in 2000, primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $8,329 in 2000 and $5,027 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

Depletion was $26,536 in 2000 as compared to $36,271 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $9,735, or 27%. This decrease was primarily due to a 10,806 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 11% to $169,279 from
$152,905 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 6,133 barrels of oil,
3,997 barrels

   1512
of NGLs and 14,989 mcf of gas were sold, or 12,628 BOEs. In 1998, 7,476 barrels
of oil, 3,923 barrels of NGLs and 16,309 mcf of gas were sold, or 14,117 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.86, or 29%, from
$13.20 in 1998 to $17.06 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.56, or 36%, from $7.02 in 1998 to $9.58 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 7% from $1.64 in 1998 to $1.76 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $136,517 as compared to $170,483
in 1998, a decrease of $33,966, or 20%. The decrease was due to reductions in
depletion, the impairment of oil and gas properties and production costs, offset
by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $93,178 in 1999 and $97,819 in 1998, resulting in a $4,641
decrease, or 5%. The decrease was due to declines in ad valorem taxes and well
maintenance costs.

During this period, G&A increased 42% from $4,961 in 1998 to $7,068 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $5,027 in
1999 and $4,007 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $11,795 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $36,271 in 1999 compared to $55,908 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $19,637, or 35%. This decrease was primarily the result of an
increase in proved reserves of 43,411 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of
higher commodity prices, a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis
from charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998
and a decline in oil production of 1,343 barrels for the period ended December
31, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.




Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $77,593 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $111,227, offset by increases in production costs paid
of


   1513
$20,981, G&A expenses paid of $2,400 and working capital of $10,253. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $118,292 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $7,065 resulting from the decline in production during 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices and well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $3,262 was recognized during 2000
resulting from equipment credits received on one well. Proceeds of $2,501 during
1999 were received from equipment credits on one active well and one temporarily
abandoned well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $152,116, of which $1,521 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $150,595 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $53,463, of which
$535 was distributed to the managing general partner and $52,928 to the limited
partners.

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2039, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 17% to $424,897 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $362,257 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 8,803 barrels

                                        7

   1524



of oil, 3,690 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 23,539 mcf of gas were
sold, or 16,416 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, 8,965 barrels of oil, 5,338 barrels of NGLs and 19,897 mcf of gas
were sold, or 17,619 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.43, or 2%, from $27.46
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.89 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.31, or 24%, from
$13.56 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.87 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 126% from $2.20
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.98 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $9,419 was recognized during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 resulting from equipment credits received on one fully
depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $217,772 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $207,671 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$10,101, or 5%. This increase was due to increases in production costs, general
and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion.

Production costs were $165,130 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$159,970 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $5,160 increase, or 3%. The
increase was due to higher production taxes associated with higher oil and gas
prices and additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well
production, offset by a decrease in workover costs.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
23%, from $11,738 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $14,385 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $38,257 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$35,963 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $2,294, or 6%. This increase
was primarily due to a reduction in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 as a result of lower commodity prices.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 5% to $188,539 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $178,954 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs, offset by lower average prices received for oil and a decrease in
production. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 4,081 barrels of oil,

                                        8

   1525



2,147 barrels of NGLs and 11,701 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,178 BOEs. For the
three months ended June 30, 2000, 4,198 barrels of oil, 2,815 barrels of NGLs
and 10,000 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,680 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.22, or 1%, from $27.54
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.32 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.69, or 13%, from
$13.36 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.05 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 49% from $2.57
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.82 for the same period in
2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $9,419 was recognized during the three months
ended June 30, 2000 from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $112,600 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $110,542 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$2,058, or 2%. This increase was due to an increase in depletion, offset by
declines in production costs and G&A.

Production costs were $88,253 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$89,154 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $901 decrease, or 1%. The
decrease was due to lower workover costs, offset by additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 4%, from $6,057 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $5,824 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a decrease
in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $18,523 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$15,331 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $3,192, or 21%. This
increase was primarily due to a reduction in proved reserves during the period
ended June 30, 2001 as a result of lower commodity prices.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $102,134 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase of $62,291 in oil and gas sales receipts and a
reduction of $47,650 in working capital, offset by increases in production costs
of $5,160 and G&A expenses of $2,647. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an
additional $76,480 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $14,189 resulting from 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 well maintenance costs
incurred to stimulate well production, offset by a decrease in workover costs.
The increase in G&A was primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing
general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as
a result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax
fees.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 were for expenditures related to equipment upgrades on
active oil and gas properties.

Proceeds of $9,419 recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2000 were
from equipment credits on one fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$137,512, of which $1,375 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$136,137 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $187,276, of which $1,873 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $185,403 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to

ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.




   1530

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 90-A, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1990 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").
Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 6,811 limited partnership
interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA is responsible for all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers. Of the Partnership's total oil and
gas revenues for 2000, approximately 54%, 12% and 10% were attributable to sales
made to Plains Marketing, L.P., TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC and NGTS LLC, respectively.
Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one purchaser would not have
an adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs")
and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.
The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that
could expose the Partnership to substantial



                                       2
   1531

liability due to pollution and other environmental damages. 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.

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 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
primarily in the Spraberry Trend Area of West Texas were acquired by the
Partnership, resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 27
oil and gas wells. Two wells have been sold. At December 31, 2000, 25 wells were
producing.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

                                     PART II


ITEM 5.    MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
           DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 6,811 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 525 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, $434,802 and $152,818, 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

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 65% to $806,344 for 2000 as
compared to $488,752 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 18,065
barrels of oil, 10,454 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 38,570 mcf of
gas were sold, or 34,947 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 17,702
barrels of oil, 11,546 barrels of NGLs and 43,302 mcf of gas were sold, or
36,465 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.26, or 72% from
$17.06 in 1999 to $29.32 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $6.04, or 63% from $9.58 in 1999 to $15.62 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 67% in 2000 to $2.94 compared to $1.76 in
1999. 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 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $9,419 was recognized during 2000 resulting
from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $433,960 as compared to $394,007
in 1999, an increase of $39,953, or 10%. This increase was primarily due to
increases in production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"),
offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $329,608 in 2000 and $269,017 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $60,591, or 23%. The increase was primarily due to additional well
maintenance and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production and higher
production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
36% from $20,244 in 1999 to $27,629 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $24,038 in 2000 and $14,514 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

   1534



Depletion was $76,723 in 2000 compared to $104,746 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $28,023, or 27%. This decrease was primarily due to a 33,982 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 11% to $488,752 from
$441,480 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 17,702 barrels of oil,
11,546 barrels of NGLs and 43,302 mcf of gas were sold, or 36,465 BOEs. In 1998,
21,587 barrels of oil, 11,328 barrels of NGLs and 47,086 mcf of gas were sold,
or 40,763 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.86, or 29% from $13.20
in 1998 to $17.06 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.56, or 36% from $7.02 in 1998 to $9.58 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 7% in 1999 to $1.76 compared to $1.64 in 1998.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $394,007 as compared to $492,078
in 1998, a decrease of $98,071, or 20%. This decrease was primarily due to
declines in depletion, the impairment of oil and gas properties and production
costs, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $269,017 in 1999 and $282,430 in 1998, resulting in a
$13,413 decline, or 5%. The decline includes a reduction in ad valorem taxes and
less well maintenance costs.

During this period, G&A increased 43% from $14,124 in 1998 to $20,244 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $14,514 in
1999 and $11,560 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $34,145 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $104,746 in 1999 compared to $161,379 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $56,633, or 35%. This decrease was primarily the result of an
increase in proved reserves of 125,332 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of
higher commodity prices, a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis
from charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998
and a decline in oil production of 3,885 barrels for the period ended December
31, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $223,816 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to increases in oil and
gas sales receipts of $321,283, offset by increases in production costs paid of
$60,591, G&A expenses paid of $7,385 and working capital of $29,491. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $341,604 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $20,321 resulting from the decline in production during 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices and well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were for
expenditures related to oil and gas equipment upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $9,419 were recognized during 2000 from
equipment credits on one fully depleted well and proceeds of $7,220 in 1999 were
from equipment credits received on one active property and one temporarily
abandoned property.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $439,194, of which $4,392 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $434,802 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $154,362 of which
$1,544 was distributed to the managing general partner and $152,818 to the
limited partners.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.    ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

      Parker & Parsley 90-A, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1990 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

      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.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

      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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

      Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

      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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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.



                                       14
   1543

      Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

      Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

      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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

      Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

      In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $34,145 related to its
proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

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, 2000, 1999 and 1998 and
changes in such quantities during the years then ended. All of the Partnership's
reserves are proved developed and located within the United States. The
Partnership's reserves are based on an evaluation prepared by Williamson
Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent petroleum consultant, using criteria
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

      As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.25 per barrel of NGLs and $7.89 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $3,042,000 and undiscounted was $5,865,000.

      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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

      The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

      Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

      At December 31, 2000, the amounts receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P.,
TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC and NGTS LLC were $37,832, $7,318 and $4,105, respectively,
which are included in the caption "Accounts receivable - oil and gas sales" in
the accompanying Balance Sheet.

      Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one purchaser would not
have an adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership to sell its oil, NGLs
and gas production.

NOTE 9.    PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

      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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to manage, control
      and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As managing general
      partner and operator of the Partnership's properties, all production
      expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the Partnership. The
      majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are received directly
      by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and gas revenue is
      initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to the Partnership.
      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.



                                       19
   1548

      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 $6,811,000.
      Pioneer USA is required to contribute amounts equal to 1% of initial
      Partnership capital less commission and organization and offering costs
      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.

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2040, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 90-B Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized as a general
partnership in 1990 under the laws of the State of Texas and was converted to a
Delaware limited partnership on August 1, 1991.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 11% to $763,083 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $687,189 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by

                                        7

   1566



a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 17,353 barrels
of oil, 6,410 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 35,369 mcf of gas were
sold, or 29,658 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, 17,958 barrels of oil, 8,604 barrel of NGLs and 33,016 mcf of gas
were sold, or 32,065 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.54, or 2%, from $27.72
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $28.26 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.09, or 15%, from
$14.00 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.09 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 130% from $2.08 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.79 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Gains on disposition of assets of $3,054 and $2,023 were recognized during the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The gain recognized
during the period in 2001 was due to salvage income received on one well plugged
and abandoned during the current year. The gain recognized during the period in
2000 was from the sale of equipment on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $362,535 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $351,544 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$10,991, or 3%. This increase was due to increases in production costs,
abandoned property costs, depletion and general and administrative expenses
("G&A").

Production costs were $282,193 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$277,308 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $4,885 increase, or 2%.
This increase was primarily due to higher production taxes associated with
higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
5% from $21,724 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $22,884 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $54,399 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$52,512 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,887, or 4%. This increase
was due to downward revisions to proved reserves on several wells during the
period ended June 30, 2001, 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 2000 and a decline in oil production of 605 barrels for the
six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Abandoned property costs of $3,059 were incurred during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 due to the plugging and abandonment of one well during the current
period.

   1567




Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 5% to $338,348 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $356,486 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received for oil and
NGLs and a decline in production, offset by higher average prices received for
gas. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 8,598 barrels of oil, 3,171
barrels of NGLs and 16,373 mcf of gas were sold, or 14,498 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 8,968 barrels of oil, 4,625 barrels of NGLs and
17,395 mcf of gas were sold, or 16,492 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.51, or 2%, from $27.75
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.24 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased $.22, or 2%, from $14.10
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $13.88 for the same period in
2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 50% from $2.44 during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.67 for the same period in 2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $1,079 was recognized during the three months
ended June 30, 2001 due to salvage income received on one well plugged and
abandoned during the current period.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $178,847 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $181,044 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of
$2,197, or 1%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs and G&A,
offset by increases in abandoned property costs and depletion.

Production costs were $138,987 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$143,700 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $4,713 decrease, or 3%. The
decrease was primarily due to lower workover expense.

During this period, G&A decreased 20% from $11,592 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $9,322 for the same period in 2001, principally due to a lower
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of decreased oil and gas revenues and a
decline in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $27,479 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$25,752 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,727, or 7%. This increase
was due to downward revisions to proved reserves on several properties during
the period ended June 30, 2001, offset by a reduction in the Partnership's net
depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the
fourth quarter of 2000 and a decline in oil production of 370 barrels for the
three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.


                                        9

   1568



Abandoned property costs of $3,059 were incurred during the three months ended
June 30, 2001 due to the plugging and abandonment of one well during the current
period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $140,001 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase resulted from an increase of $76,203 in oil and gas sales receipts and
a reduction in working capital of $72,902, offset by increases in production
costs of $4,885, abandoned property costs of $3,059 and G&A expenses of $1,160.
The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity
prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $117,367 to oil and gas
receipts, offset by $41,164 resulting from 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. The increase in G&A was primarily due to an increase in audit and tax
fees.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities for the six months ended June
30, 2001 and 2000 were for expenditures related to oil and gas equipment
upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $3,054 and $2,023 were received during the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The proceeds recognized
during the period in 2001 were due to salvage income from one well plugged and
abandoned during the current year. The proceeds recognized during 2000 were
derived from the sale of equipment on one fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$285,221, of which $2,852 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$282,369 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $362,661, of which $3,627 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $359,034 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge

                                       10


   1569

with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 90-B Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized in 1990 as a
general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership
converted to a Delaware limited partnership on August 1, 1991. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").
Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 11,897 limited partnership
interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA supplies all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 48% was attributable to sales made to
Plains Marketing, L.P., 10% to TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC and 10% to Phillips
Petroleum Company. Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one
purchaser would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil,
natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or



                                       2
   1573

other liabilities and compliance may increase the cost of the Partnership's
operations. The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards
such as oil spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or
gases that could expose the Partnership to substantial liability due to
pollution and other environmental damages. 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.

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 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
primarily in the Spraberry Trend Area of West Texas were acquired by the
Partnership, resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 104
oil and gas wells. One well has been plugged and abandoned. At December 31,
2000, the Partnership had 103 producing oil and gas wells.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.


                                     PART II

ITEM 5.    MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
             DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 11,897 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 665 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, $825,165 and $271,636, 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

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 67% to $1,513,122 for 2000 as
compared to $907,791 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 36,592
barrels of oil, 16,796 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 64,786 mcf of
gas were sold, or 64,186 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 36,383
barrels of oil, 17,481 barrels of NGLs and 70,803 mcf of gas were sold, or
65,665 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.00, or 70%, from
$17.23 in 1999 to $29.23 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.96, or 63%, from $9.49 in 1999 to $15.45 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 75% from $1.62 in 1999 to $2.84 in 2000. 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 2000.

A gain on disposition of assets of $2,023 recognized in 2000 was due to
equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses decreased to $739,327 in 2000 as compared to $749,072
in 1999, a decrease of $9,745, or 1%. The decrease was due to declines in the
impairment of oil and gas properties and depletion, offset by increases in
production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $557,245 in 2000 and $478,183 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $79,062, or 17%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance
and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
30% from $35,038 in 1999 to $45,379 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $40,368 in 2000 and $27,181 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.




                                       5
   1576


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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized
non-cash charges of $31,774 and $88,497 related to its oil and gas properties
during 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Depletion was $104,929 in 2000 compared to $147,354 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $42,425, or 29%. The decrease was primarily due to a 27,994 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from charges
taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1999.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 19% to $907,791 from
$764,787 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 36,383 barrels of oil,
17,481 barrels of NGLs and 70,803 mcf of gas were sold, or 65,665 BOEs. In 1998,
41,140 barrels of oil, 17,403 barrels of NGLs and 73,460 mcf of gas were sold,
or 70,786 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $4.11, or 31%, from
$13.12 in 1998 to $17.23 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.89, or 44%, from $6.60 in 1998 to $9.49 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 8% from $1.50 in 1998 to $1.62 in 1999.

Gain on disposition of assets of $1,669 for 1998 was attributable to credits
received from the disposal of oil and gas equipment on a fully depleted well and
on one well that was plugged and abandoned in a prior year.

Total costs and expenses decreased to $749,072 in 1999 as compared to $1,147,349
in 1998, a decrease of $398,277, or 35%. The decrease was due to declines in the
impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production costs, offset by
an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $478,183 in 1999 and $517,526 in 1998, resulting in a
$39,343 decrease, or 8%. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs, ad valorem taxes and workover costs, offset by an increase in production
taxes due to increased oil and gas sales.

During this period, G&A increased 31% from $26,722 in 1998 to $35,038 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $27,181 in
1999 and $22,923 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized non-cash SFAS 121 charges of $88,497 and $275,430
related to its oil and gas properties during 1999 and 1998, respectively.





                                       6
   1577


Depletion was $147,354 in 1999 compared to $327,671 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $180,317, or 55%. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in
proved reserves of 280,631 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices, a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998 and
a decline in oil production of 4,757 barrels for the period ended December 31,
1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $504,622 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $611,256, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $79,062, G&A expenses paid of $10,341 and working capital of $17,231. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $632,790 to oil and gas receipts,
offset by $21,534 resulting from the decline in production during 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance and
workover costs incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was
primarily due to higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $2,023 recognized in 2000 were due to
equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.





                                       7
   1578


Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $833,500, of which $8,335 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $825,165 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $274,380, of which
$2,744 was distributed to the managing general partner and $271,636 to the
limited partners.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Partners
Parker & Parsley 90-B Conv., L.P.
  (A Delaware Limited Partnership):

We have audited the balance sheets of Parker & Parsley 90-B Conv., L.P. as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners'
capital and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Parker & Parsley 90-B Conv.,
L.P. as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.    ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 90-B Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized as a
general partnership in 1990 under the laws of the State of Texas and was
converted to a Delaware limited partnership on August 1, 1991. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

      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.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

      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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

      Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

      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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

      Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

      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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

      Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

      In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $31,774, $88,497 and
$275,430 related to its proved oil and gas properties during 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively.

      As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.19 per barrel of NGLs and $7.66 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $5,752,000 and undiscounted was $11,644,000.

      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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

     The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by
applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

     Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

-----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2040, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 90-B, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1990 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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
               and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 11% to $2,069,524 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $1,863,518 for the same period in
2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received,
offset by a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001,
47,052 barrels of oil, 17,412 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 95,918


                                        7

   1609



mcf of gas were sold, or 80,450 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six
months ended June 30, 2000, 48,699 barrels of oil, 23,339 barrels of NGLs and
89,536 mcf of gas were sold, or 86,961 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.54, or 2%, from $27.72
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $28.26 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.09, or 15%, from
$14.00 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.09 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 130% from $2.08 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.79 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Gains on disposition of assets of $8,283 and $5,487 were recognized during the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The gain recognized
during the period in 2001 was due to salvage income received from one well
plugged and abandoned during the current year. The gain recognized during the
period in 2000 was from the sale of equipment on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $982,646 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $953,283 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$29,363, or 3%. The increase was due to increases in production costs, abandoned
property costs, depletion and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $765,323 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$752,025 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $13,298 increase, or 2%.
The increase was primarily the result of higher production taxes associated with
higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
5% from $58,911 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $61,934 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in tax and audit fees.

Depletion was $147,093 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$142,347 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $4,746, or 3%. This
increase was primarily due to downward revisions to proved reserves on several
wells during the period ended June 30, 2001, 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 2000 and a decline in oil production
of 1,647 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000.

Abandoned property costs of $8,296 were incurred during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 due to the plugging and abandonment of one well during the current
year.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 5% to $917,666 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $966,583 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decline in production and lower average
prices received for oil and NGLs, offset by higher average prices received for
gas. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 23,315 barrels of oil, 8,603
barrels of NGLs and 44,414 mcf of gas were sold, or 39,320 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 24,312 barrels of oil, 12,529 barrels of NGLs and
47,154 mcf of gas were sold, or 44,700 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.51, or 2%, from $27.75
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.24 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased $.22, or 2%, from $14.10
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $13.88 for the same period in
2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 50% from $2.44 during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.67 for the same period in 2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $2,926 was recognized during the three months
ended June 30, 2001 due to salvage income received from one well plugged and
abandoned during the current period.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $484,991 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $490,837 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of
$5,846, or 2%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs and G&A,
offset by increases in abandoned property costs and depletion.

Production costs were $376,953 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$389,681 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $12,728 decrease, or 3%.
This decrease was primarily due to lower workover expense.

During this period, G&A decreased 20% from $31,430 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $25,284 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a lower
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of decreased oil and gas revenues and a
decline in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $74,458 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$69,726 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $4,732, or 7%. This increase
was primarily due to downward revisions to proved reserves on several wells
during the period ended June 30, 2001, offset by a reduction in the
Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS
121 during the fourth quarter of 2000 and a decline in oil production of 997
barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period
in 2000.

Abandoned property costs of $8,296 were incurred during the three months ended
June 30, 2001 due to the plugging and abandonment of one well during the current
period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $326,867 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase resulted from an increase of $207,022 in oil and gas sales receipts and
a reduction in working capital of $144,462, offset by increases in production
costs of $13,298, abandoned property costs of $8,296 and G&A expenses of $3,023.
The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity
prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $318,339 to oil and gas
receipts, offset by $111,317 resulting from 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. The increase in G&A was primarily due to an increase in audit and
tax fees.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities for the six months ended June
30, 2001 and 2000 were related to expenditures for upgrades of oil and gas
equipment on active properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $8,283 and $5,487 were received during the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The proceeds recognized
during the period in 2001 were due to salvage income from one well plugged and
abandoned during the current year. The proceeds recognized during 2000 were from
the sale of equipment on one fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$773,504, of which $7,735 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$765,769 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $983,517, of which $9,835 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $973,682 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships


                                       10

   1612



that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS.


   1615

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 90-B, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1990 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").
Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 32,264 limited partnership
interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA supplies all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 48% was attributable to sales made to
Plains Marketing, L.P., 10% to TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC and 10% to Phillips
Petroleum Company. Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one
purchaser would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil,
natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.
The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that
could expose the Partnership to substantial


                                        2

   1616





liability due to pollution and other environmental damages. 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.

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 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
primarily in the Spraberry Trend Area of West Texas were acquired by the
Partnership, resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 104
oil and gas wells. One well has been plugged and abandoned. At December 31,
2000, the Partnership had 103 producing oil and gas wells.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

ITEM 5.    MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
            DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 32,264 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 2,201 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, $2,237,802 and $736,663,
respectively, of such revenue-related distributions were made to the limited
partners.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT' DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 67% to $4,103,548 for 2000 as
compared to $2,461,819 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 99,252
barrels of oil, 45,552 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 175,696 mcf
of gas were sold, or 174,087 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 98,658
barrels of oil, 47,406 barrels of NGLs and 192,016 mcf of gas were sold, or
178,067 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in
the future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.00, or 70%, from
$17.23 in 1999 to $29.23 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.96, or 63%, from $9.49 in 1999 to $15.45 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 75% from $1.62 in 1999 to $2.84 in 2000. 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 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $5,487 recognized in 2000 was due to equipment
credits received on one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 2000 to $2,004,420 as compared to
$2,029,978 in 1999, a decrease of $25,558, or 1%. The decrease was due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties and depletion, offset by
increases in production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $1,511,223 in 2000 and $1,296,822 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $214,401, or 17%. The increase was primarily due to higher
production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well
maintenance and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
31% from $93,562 in 1999 to $122,731 in 2000 primarily due to a higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The
Partnership paid the managing general partner $109,474 in 2000 and $73,707 in
1999 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid
directly by the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the
allocated expenses based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative
to the non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

                                        5

   1619
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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized
non-cash charges of $86,231 and $240,063 related to its oil and gas properties
during 2000 and 1999, respectively.

Depletion was $284,235 in 2000 compared to $399,531 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $115,296, or 29%. This decrease was primarily due to an 81,075
barrels of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1999.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 19% to $2,461,819 from
$2,074,056 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 98,658 barrels of oil,
47,406 barrels of NGLs and 192,016 mcf of gas were sold, or 178,067 BOEs. In
1998, 111,585 barrels of oil, 47,190 barrels of NGLs and 199,215 mcf of gas were
sold, or 191,978 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $4.11, or 31%, from
$13.12 in 1998 to $17.23 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.89, or 44%, from $6.60 in 1998 to $9.49 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 8% from $1.50 in 1998 to $1.62 in 1999.

A gain on disposition of assets of $4,527 recognized during 1998 was due to
credits received from the disposal of oil and gas equipment on one fully
depleted well and one well that was plugged and abandoned in a prior year.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $2,029,978 as compared to
$3,108,696 in 1998, a decrease of $1,078,718, or 35%. The decrease was due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production
costs, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $1,296,822 in 1999 and $1,403,494 in 1998, resulting in a
$106,672 decrease, or 8%. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs, ad valorem taxes and workover costs.

During this period, G&A increased 29% from $72,284 in 1998 to $93,562 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $73,707 in
1999 and $62,152 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized non-cash SFAS 121 charges of $240,063 and $744,642
related to its oil and gas properties during 1999 and 1998, respectively.


                                        6

   1620
Depletion was $399,531 in 1999 compared to $888,276 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $488,745, or 55%. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in
proved reserves of 761,146 barrels of oil during 1999 due to higher commodity
prices, a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from charges taken
in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998 and a decline in
oil production of 12,927 barrels for the period ended December 31, 1999 compared
to the same period in 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $1,473,163 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $1,657,757 and a decline in working capital of
$58,976, offset by increases in production costs paid of $214,401 and G&A
expenses paid of $29,169. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the
increase in commodity prices during 2000 which contributed an additional
$1,715,313 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $57,556 resulting from the decline
in production during 2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to
increased production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and
additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred to stimulate well
production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher percentage of the
managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $5,487 recognized in 2000 were due to
equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

   1621
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $2,260,406, of which $22,604
was distributed to the managing general partner and $2,237,802 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $744,104, of which
$7,441 was distributed to the managing general partner and $736,663 to the
limited partners.

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.    ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

      Parker & Parsley 90-B, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1990 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

      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.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

      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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants. The
carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

      Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

      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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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.


                                       15

   1629
      Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

      Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

      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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

      Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

      In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $86,231, $240,063 and
$744,642 related to its proved oil and gas properties during 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively.

liabilities was $632,807 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

      As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.19 per barrel of NGLs and $7.66 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $15,617,000 and undiscounted was
$31,632,000.

      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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

     The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by
applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

     Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider probable reserves, anticipated
future oil and gas prices, interest rates, changes in development and production
costs and risks associated with future production. Because of these and other
considerations, any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and
imprecise.

have an adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership to sell its oil, NGLs
and gas production.



NOTE 9.    PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

      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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to manage, control
      and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As managing general
      partner and operator of the Partnership's properties, all production
      expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the Partnership. The




                                       20

   1634

      majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are received directly
      by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and gas revenue is
      initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to the Partnership.
      Under the 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
      $32,264,000. The managing general partner is required to contribute
      amounts equal to 1% of initial Partnership capital less commission and
      organization and offering costs 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.

---------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2) (A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                 INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2040, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 90-C Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized as a general
partnership in 1990 under the laws of the State of Texas and was converted to a
Delaware limited partnership on August 1, 1991.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
             and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 7% to $444,118 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $414,898 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by

                                        7

   1652



a decline in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 11,505 barrels
of oil, 2,477 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 17,805 mcf of gas were
sold, or 16,950 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, 11,959 barrels of oil, 4,427 barrels of NGLs and 14,092 mcf of
gas were sold, or 18,735 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased slightly from $27.46 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.55 for the same period in 2001. The
average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.24, or 25%, from $12.80
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.04 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per mcf of gas increased 133% from $2.11 during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.91 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $235,830 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $200,554 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$35,276, or 18%. This increase was due to increases in production costs, general
and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion.

Production costs were $193,283 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$161,148 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $32,135 increase, or 20%.
The increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover costs
incurred to stimulate well production and higher production taxes associated
with higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
12% from $13,090 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $14,679 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $27,868 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$26,316 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,552, or 6%. This increase
was the result of a reduction in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil production of
454 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the same period
in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 4% to $213,193 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $221,187 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decline in production and lower average
prices received for oil, offset by higher average prices received for gas and
NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 5,694 barrels of oil, 1,618

                                        8

   1653



barrels of NGLs and 9,654 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,921 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 6,157 barrels of oil, 2,484 barrels of NGLs and
7,658 mcf of gas were sold, or 9,917 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.75, or 3%, from $27.75
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.00 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.82, or 14%, from
$12.68 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.50 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 52% from $2.44
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.72 for the same period in
2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $118,532 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $97,167 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$21,365, or 22%. This increase was due to increases in production costs and
depletion, offset by a decrease in G&A.

Production costs were $97,643 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$77,437 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $20,206 increase, or 26%.
The increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover costs
incurred to stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 9% from $7,156 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 to $6,504 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a lower
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of a decline in oil and gas revenues and a
decline in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $14,385 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$12,574 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,811, or 14%. This
increase was the result of a reduction in proved reserves during the period
ended June 30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil
production of 463 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to
the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $41,127 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to a reduction in working capital of $45,662 and an increase of
$29,189 in oil and gas sales receipts, offset by increases in production costs
of $32,135 and G&A expenses of $1,589. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an
additional $54,741 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $25,552 resulting from the
decline in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to additional well maintenance
and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production and increased
production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices. The increase in G&A
was primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A
being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased
oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 were related to expenditures for oil and gas equipment
upgrades on active properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$161,186, of which $1,612 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$159,574 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $216,896, of which $2,169 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $214,727 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 90-C Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") is a general partnership
organized in 1990 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership
converted to a Delaware limited partnership on August 1, 1991. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").
Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 7,531 limited partnership
interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA is responsible for all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 64% was attributable to sales made to
Plains Marketing, L.P. Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one
purchaser would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil,
natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.
The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that
could expose the Partnership to substantial

                                        2

   1659
liability due to pollution and other environmental damages. 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.

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 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
primarily in the Spraberry Trend Area of West Texas were acquired by the
Partnership, resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 44
oil and gas wells. One well was sold and one well was plugged and abandoned due
to uneconomical operations. At December 31, 2000, the Partnership had 42
producing oil and gas wells.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

                                     PART II


ITEM 5.    MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
            DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 7,531 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 505 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, $492,300 and $135,825, 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

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 71% to $917,184 for 2000 as
compared to $537,893 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received and an increase in production. In 2000, 23,602 barrels
of oil, 9,171 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 30,423 mcf of gas were
sold, or 37,844 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 23,568 barrels of
oil, 9,050 barrels of NGLs and 29,399 mcf of gas were sold, or 37,518 BOEs. Due
to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties,
management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the future until
the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.21, or 71%, from
$17.13 in 1999 to $29.34 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.60, or 60%, from $9.31 in 1999 to $14.91 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 70% from $1.70 in 1999 to $2.89 in 2000. 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 received in 2000.

Gains on dispositions of assets of $388 and $104 recognized during 2000 and
1999, respectively, were due to equipment credits received on a fully depleted
well in each year.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $416,488 compared to $405,150 in
1999, an increase of $11,338, or 3%. This increase was due to increases in
production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a
decline in depletion.

Production costs were $334,055 in 2000 and $297,353 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $36,702, or 12%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period G&A increased
45% from $20,987 in 1999 to $30,429 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $27,439 in 2000 and $16,060 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.



                                        5

   1662
Depletion was $52,004 in 2000 as compared to $86,810 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $34,806, or 40%. This decrease was primarily due to a 31,374 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 25% to $537,893 from
$430,499 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 23,568 barrels of oil,
9,050 barrels of NGLs and 29,399 mcf of gas were sold, or 37,518 BOEs. In 1998,
24,493 barrels of oil, 8,694 barrels of NGLs and 30,348 mcf of gas were sold, or
38,245 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.89, or 29%, from
$13.24 in 1998 to $17.13 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.51, or 37%, from $6.80 in 1998 to $9.31 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 10% from $1.55 in 1998 to $1.70 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $405,150 compared to $693,871 in
1998, a decrease of $288,721, or 42%. This decrease was due to declines in the
impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production costs, offset by
an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $297,353 in 1999 and $314,363 in 1998, resulting in a
decrease of $17,010, or 5%. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in production taxes.

During this period G&A increased 39% from $15,084 in 1998 to $20,987 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $16,060 in
1999 and $12,838 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $185,784 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $86,810 in 1999 compared to $178,640 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $91,830, or 51%. This decrease was primarily the result of an
increase in proved reserves of 207,077 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of
higher commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable
basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter
of 1998.





                                        6

   1663
Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $330,268 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $383,466, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $36,702, G&A expenses paid of $9,442 and working capital of $7,054. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $377,706 to oil and gas receipts and
$5,760 resulting from the increase in production during 2000. The increase in
production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes associated with
higher oil and gas prices and well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well
production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher percentage of the
managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from dispositions of assets of $388 and $104 recognized during 2000 and
1999, respectively, were related to equipment credits received on a fully
depleted well in each year.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $497,273, of which $4,973 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $492,300 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $137,197, of which
$1,372 was distributed to the managing general partner and $135,825 to the
limited partners.

The Partners
Parker & Parsley 90-C Conv., L.P.
  (A Delaware Limited Partnership):

We have audited the balance sheets of Parker & Parsley 90-C Conv., L.P. as of
December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners'
capital and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December
31, 2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Parker & Parsley 90-C Conv.,
L.P. as of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its
cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

                        PARKER & PARSLEY 90-C CONV., L.P.
                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1.    ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

       Parker & Parsley 90-C Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") is a general
partnership organized in 1990 under the laws of the State of Texas. The
Partnership converted to a Delaware limited partnership on August 1, 1991. The
Partnership's managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.
("Pioneer USA").

         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.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied
in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

         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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

         Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

         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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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 (loss) of the Partnership is included in
the individual Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.


                                       14

   1671


         Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

       Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

       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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

       Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

       In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $185,784 related to
its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

       As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.22 per barrel of NGLs and $7.80 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $3,245,000 and undiscounted was $6,366,000.

       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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

      The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

      Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NOTE 9.    PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

       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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
       manage, control and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As
       managing general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties,
       all production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
       Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
       received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and
       gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to
       the Partnership. Under the Partnership agreement, the managing general
       partner pays



                                       19

       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 partners entered into subscription
       agreements for aggregate capital contributions of $7,531,000. Pioneer USA
       is required to contribute amounts equal to 1% of initial Partnership
       capital less commission and organization and offering costs 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.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2039, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

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 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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
             and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 7% to $713,977 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $666,799 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decline in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 18,497 barrels

                                        7

   1694



of oil, 3,982 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 28,625 mcf of gas were
sold, or 27,250 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, 19,227 barrels of oil, 7,105 barrels of NGLs and 22,664 mcf of
gas were sold, or 30,109 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased slightly from $27.46 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.55 for the same period in 2001. The
average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.24, or 25%, from $12.80
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.04 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per mcf of gas increased 133% from $2.11 during the
six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.91 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 six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $379,038 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $322,425 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$56,613, or 18%. This increase was due to increases in production costs, general
and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion.

Production costs were $310,730 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$259,060 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $51,670 increase, or 20%.
This increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover
costs incurred to stimulate well production and higher production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
12% from $21,038 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $23,553 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $44,755 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$42,327 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $2,428, or 6%. This increase
was the result of a reduction in proved reserves during the period ended June
30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil production of
730 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 compared to the same period
in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 4% to $342,737 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $355,412 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decline in production and lower average
prices received for oil, offset by higher average prices received for gas and
NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 9,158 barrels of oil, 2,603
barrels of NGLs and 15,519 mcf of gas were sold, or 14,348 BOEs. For the three


                                        8

   1695



months ended June 30, 2000, 9,904 barrels of oil, 3,979 barrels of NGLs and
12,323 mcf of gas were sold, or 15,937 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.75, or 3%, from $27.75
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.00 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.82, or 14%, from
$12.68 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.50 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 52% from $2.44
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.72 for the same period in
2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $190,548 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $156,212 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$34,336, or 22%. This increase was due to increases in production costs and
depletion, offset by a decrease in G&A.

Production costs were $156,985 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$124,494 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $32,491 increase, or 26%.
The increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover costs
incurred to stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 9% from $11,499 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $10,457 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a lower
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of a decline in oil and gas revenues and a
decrease in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $23,106 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$20,219 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $2,887, or 14%. This
increase was the result of a reduction in proved reserves during the period
ended June 30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil
production of 746 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 compared to
the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $66,243 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to a reduction in working capital of $73,272 and an increase of
$47,156 in oil and gas sales receipts, offset by increases in production costs
of $51,670 and G&A expenses of $2,515. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an
additional $88,093 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $40,937 resulting from the
decline in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to additional well maintenance
and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production and higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices. The increase in G&A was
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 were related to expenditures for upgrades of oil and gas
equipment on active properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$259,063, of which $2,591 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$256,472 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $348,687, of which $3,487 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $345,200 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA is responsible for all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 64% was attributable to sales made to
Plains Marketing, L.P. Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one
purchaser would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil,
natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.
The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that
could expose the Partnership to substantial liability due to pollution and other
environmental damages. Although the Partnership believes that



                                       2
   1701


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.

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 of leasehold interests in properties on
which oil and gas 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
primarily in the Spraberry Trend Area of West Texas were acquired by the
Partnership, resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 44
oil and gas wells. One well was sold and one well was plugged and abandoned due
to uneconomical operations. At December 31, 2000, the Partnership had 42
producing oil and gas wells.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 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 evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent
petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.       LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.       SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

ITEM 5.       MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
                DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 12,107 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 901 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, $791,434 and $218,354, 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

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 71% to $1,474,499 for 2000 as
compared to $864,722 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received and an increase in production. In 2000, 37,944 barrels
of oil, 14,742 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 48,907 mcf of gas
were sold, or 60,837 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 37,886 barrels
of oil, 14,547 barrels of NGLs and 47,265 mcf of gas were sold, or 60,311 BOEs.
Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties,
management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the future until
the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.21, or 71%, from
$17.13 in 1999 to $29.34 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.60, or 60%, from $9.31 in 1999 to $14.91 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 70% from $1.70 in 1999 to $2.89 in 2000. 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 2000.

Gains on disposition of assets of $624 and $167 recognized during 2000 and 1999,
respectively, were due to equipment credits received on a fully depleted well in
each year.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $669,449 as compared to $650,544
in 1999, an increase of $18,905, or 3%. This increase was due to increases in
production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a
decline in depletion.

Production costs were $537,048 in 2000 and $477,835 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $59,213, or 12%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period G&A increased
47% from $33,223 in 1999 to $48,801 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $44,112 in 2000 and $25,818 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.






                                       5
   1704


Depletion was $83,600 in 2000 compared to $139,486 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $55,886, or 40%. This decrease was primarily due to a 50,718 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 25% to $864,722 from
$692,090 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 37,886 barrels of oil,
14,547 barrels of NGLs and 47,265 mcf of gas were sold, or 60,311 BOEs. In 1998,
39,380 barrels of oil, 13,978 barrels of NGLs and 48,787 mcf of gas were sold,
or 61,489 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.89, or 29%, from
$13.24 in 1998 to $17.13 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.51, or 37%, from $6.80 in 1998 to $9.31 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 10% from $1.55 in 1998 to $1.70 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $650,544 as compared to $1,115,454
in 1998, a decrease of $464,910, or 42%. This decrease was due to declines in
the impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production costs, offset
by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $477,835 in 1999 and $505,571 in 1998, resulting in a
$27,736 decrease, or 5%. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs and ad valorem taxes, offset by an increase in production taxes

During this period G&A increased 37% from $24,190 in 1998 to $33,223 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $25,818 in
1999 and $20,639 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $298,622 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $139,486 in 1999 compared to $287,071 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $147,585, or 51%. This decrease was primarily the result of an
increase in proved reserves of 332,733 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of
higher commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable
basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter
of 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998,



                                       6
   1705

weather patterns, regional economic recessions and political matters combined to
cause worldwide oil supplies to exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline
in oil prices. Also during 1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for
natural gas declined. During 1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and certain other crude oil exporting nations
announced reductions in their planned export volumes. Those announcements,
together with the enactment of the announced reductions in export volumes, had a
positive impact on world oil prices, as have overall natural gas supply and
demand fundamentals on North American natural gas prices. Although the favorable
commodity price environment and stable field service cost environment is
expected to continue during 2001, there is no assurance that commodity prices
will not return to a less favorable level or that field service costs will not
escalate in the future, both of which could negatively impact the Partnership's
future results of operations and cash distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $532,008 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $616,371, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $59,213, G&A expenses paid of $15,578 and working capital of $9,572. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $607,017 to oil and gas receipts and
an increase of $9,354 resulting from the increase in production during 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices and well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $624 and $167 recognized during 2000 and
1999, respectively, were related to equipment credits received on a fully
depleted well in each year.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $799,428, of which $7,994 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $791,434 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $220,560, of which
$2,206 was distributed to the managing general partner and $218,354 to the
limited partners.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Partners
Parker & Parsley 90-C, L.P.
  (A Delaware Limited Partnership):

We have audited the balance sheets of Parker & Parsley 90-C, L.P. as of December
31, 2000 and 1999, and the related statements of operations, partners' capital
and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2000. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of Parker & Parsley 90-C, L.P. as
of December 31, 2000 and 1999, and the results of its operations and its cash
flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2000, in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

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's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

      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.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

      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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

      Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

      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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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 (loss) of the Partnership is included in the
individual Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.



                                       14
   1713

      Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

      Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

      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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

      Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.       IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

      In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $298,622 related to
its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

NOTE 4.       INCOME TAXES

      The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $81,171 less than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

      The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) per statements of
operations with the net income (loss) per Federal income tax returns for the

      As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.22 per barrel of NGLs and $7.80 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $5,217,000 and undiscounted was $10,234,000.

      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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

     The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed by
applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

     Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

----------
(a) Stated in thousands.


(b) The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
    value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
    and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
    2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
    expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
    cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c) Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
    $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
    investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should not
    assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the value
    or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d) The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
    (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
    during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
    the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the operating
    period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as in the
    merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
    administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
    the partnership to its partners.

(e) The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
    partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
    which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share of
    the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3% of
    the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July 13,
    2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses represent
    estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell the assets
    of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs associated with
    such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the partnership.


(f) Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
    offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
    your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
    advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
    in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

    The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

    The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2040, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley Private Investment 90, L.P. (the "Partnership") was organized
in 1990 as a general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas and was
converted to a Delaware limited partnership in 1991.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
  and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 4% to $722,006 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $692,013 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by

                                        6

   1735



a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 17,815 barrels
of oil, 4,772 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 29,299 mcf of gas were
sold, or 27,470 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, 19,734 barrels of oil, 6,946 barrels of NGLs and 24,989 mcf of
gas were sold, or 30,845 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.36, or 1%, from $27.42
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.78 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.03, or 22%, from
$14.06 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $17.09 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 132% from $2.14
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.97 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $349,475 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $318,543 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$30,932, or 10%. This increase was due to higher production costs and depletion,
offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $261,648 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$238,333 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $23,315 increase, or 10%.
The increase was the result of additional well maintenance and workover costs
incurred to stimulate well production and higher production taxes due to higher
oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased
7%, from $21,297 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $19,906 for the same
period in 2001, due to a decrease in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $67,921 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$58,913 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $9,008, or 15%. The increase
was the result of a decrease in proved reserves during the period ended June 30,
2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decrease in oil production of
1,919 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same
period in 2000.

   1736



Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 8% to $325,097 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $354,405 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs, offset by a decrease in production and lower average prices received
for oil. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 8,406 barrels of oil, 2,746
barrels of NGLs and 14,386 mcf of gas were sold, or 13,550 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 9,833 barrels of oil, 3,739 barrels of NGLs and
12,235 mcf of gas were sold, or 15,611 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.32, or 1%, from $27.56
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.24 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.02, or
7%, from $14.06 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.08 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 51% to
$3.81 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.52 during the same
period in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $194,526 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $164,035 for the same period in 2000, an increase of
$30,491, or 19%. This increase was due to increases in depletion and production
costs, offset by a decrease in G&A.

Production costs were $141,149 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$125,781 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $15,368 increase, or 12%.
This increase was due to additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred
to stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 27%, from $11,169 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $8,129 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a lower
allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of decreased oil and gas revenues.

Depletion was $45,248 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$27,085 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $18,163, or 67%. This
increase was attributable to a decrease in proved reserves during the period
ended June 30, 2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decrease in oil
production of 1,427 barrels for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared
to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $111,256 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000 This
increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $29,634 and
reductions in working capital of $103,546 and G&A expenses of $1,391, offset by
an increase in production costs of $23,315. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an
additional $98,698 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $69,064 resulting from the
decline in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to additional well maintenance
and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production and increased
production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices. The decrease in G&A
was due to a decrease in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on
various oil and gas properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$304,619, of which $3,047 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$301,572 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $367,336, of which $3,674 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $363,662 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

                                        9

   1738


Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.         ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley Private Investment 90, L.P. (the "Partnership") was
organized in 1990 as a general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas
and was converted to a Delaware limited partnership in 1991. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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.         SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants. The
carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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.



                                       7
   1746


        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non- partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally discounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.         IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $49,757 and $373,422
related to its proved oil and gas properties during 2000 and 1998, respectively.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.49 per barrel of NGLs and $7.81 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $5,749,000 and undiscounted was $12,495,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NGLs and gas production.

NOTE 9.         PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of
the Partnership agreement:

        Managing general partner - The managing general partner of the
        Partnership is Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
        manage, control and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As
        managing general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties,
        all production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
        Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
        received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and
        gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to
        the Partnership. Under the 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. The managing general partner is also responsible for 1% of
        guaranty and loan commitment fees. In return, it is allocated 1% of the
        Partnership's revenues.



                                       12
   1751


        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 partners entered into subscription
        agreements for aggregate capital contributions of $10,970,000. The
        managing general partner is required to contribute amounts equal to 1%
        of initial Partnership capital less commission, organization and
        offering costs 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 that its share of revenues does not
        cover such costs.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 94% to $1,508,541 for 2000 as
compared to $776,849 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received and an increase in production. In 2000, 39,040 barrels
of oil, 13,873 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 49,484 mcf of gas
were sold, or 61,160 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 32,789 barrels
of oil, 13,546 barrels of NGLs and 47,331 mcf of gas were sold, or 54,224 BOEs.
Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties,
management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the future until
the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.05, or 70%, from
$17.30 in 1999 to $29.35 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $6.36, or 67%, from $9.46 in 1999 to $15.82 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 69% from $1.72 in 1999 to $2.90 in 2000. 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 2000.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $700,691 as compared to $553,188
in 1999, an increase of $147,503, or 27%. The increase was primarily due to
increases in the impairment of oil and gas properties, production costs and
general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion.

Production costs were $502,676 in 2000 and $379,923 in 1999, resulting in a
$122,753 increase, or 32%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
39% from $29,997 in 1999 to $41,729 in 2000, primarily due to a higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The
Partnership paid the managing general partner $37,554 in 2000 and $23,205 in
1999 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid
directly by the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the
allocated expenses based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative
to the non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $49,757 related to its oil and gas properties during 2000.

Depletion was $106,529 in 2000 as compared to $143,268 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $36,739, or 26%. This decrease was primarily due to a 148,753
barrels of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher
commodity prices, offset by an increase in oil production of 6,251 barrels for
the period ended December 31, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999.


   1753


1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 20% to $776,849 from
$648,378 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 32,789 barrels of oil,
13,546 barrels of NGLs and 47,331 mcf of gas were sold, or 54,224 BOEs. In 1998,
35,555 barrels of oil, 13,913 barrels of NGLs and 54,218 mcf of gas were sold,
or 58,504 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $4.11, or 31%, from
$13.19 in 1998 to $17.30 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.69, or 40%, from $6.77 in 1998 to $9.46 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 10% from $1.57 in 1998 to $1.72 in 1999.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $553,188 as compared to $1,100,322
in 1998, a decrease of $547,134, or 50%. The decrease was primarily due to
declines in the impairment of oil and gas properties, production costs and
depletion, offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $379,923 in 1999 and $481,924 in 1998, resulting in a
$102,001 decrease, or 21%. The decrease was due to declines in well maintenance
costs and ad valorem taxes.

During this period, G&A increased 49% from $20,196 in 1998 to $29,997 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $23,205 in
1999 and $16,483 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized a non-cash SFAS 121 charge of $373,422 related to its
oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $143,268 in 1999 compared to $224,780 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $81,512, or 36%. This decrease was the result of an increase in
proved reserves of 266,736 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $559,243 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $738,819, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $122,753, G&A expenses paid of $11,732 and working capital of $45,091. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $543,958 to oil and gas receipts and
an increase of $194,861 resulting from the increase in production during 2000.
The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices and well maintenance costs incurred to
stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $2,385 and $2,124 recognized during 2000 and
1999, respectively, were due to equipment credits received on active properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $870,242, of which $8,702 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $861,540 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $255,913, of which
$2,559 was distributed to the managing general partner and $253,354 to the
limited partners.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2040, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  June 30, 2001
                                   (Unaudited)

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 90 Spraberry Private Development, L.P. (the "Partnership") was
organized in 1990 as a general partnership under the laws of the State of Texas
and was converted to a Delaware limited partnership in 1991.

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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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 these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
  and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 22% to $334,282 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $273,886 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas

                                        6

   1764



and NGLs and an increase in production, offset by lower average prices received
for oil. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 8,138 barrels of oil, 2,371
barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 14,921 mcf of gas were sold, or
12,996 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30,
2000, 7,948 barrels of oil, 2,767 barrels of NGLs and 9,984 mcf of gas were
sold, or 12,379 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased slightly from $27.19 for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.13 for the same period ended June 30,
2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.52, or 27%,
from $13.22 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.74 for the same
period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 133% from
$2.12 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.95 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $132,965 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $144,571 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $11,606,
or 8%. This decrease was attributable to declines in production costs and
depletion, offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $105,616 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$113,454 for the same period in 2000, a $7,838 decrease, or 7%. This decrease
was primarily due to lower well maintenance costs, offset by increases in
production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
25% from $8,721 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $10,895 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion was $16,454 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$22,396 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $5,942, or 27%. This decrease
was primarily the result of an increase in proved reserves on a significant well
during the period ended June 30, 2001.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 8% to $150,668 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $139,968 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas

                                        7

   1765



and NGLs, offset by a decline in production and lower average prices received
for oil. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, production included 4,092
barrels of oil, 1,224 barrels of NGLs and 6,744 mcf of gas, or 6,440 BOEs. For
the three months ended June 30, 2000, 3,809 barrels of oil, 1,691 barrels of
NGLs and 6,034 mcf of gas were sold, or 6,506 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $1.10, or 4%, from $27.40
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.30 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.93, or
16%, from $12.42 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.35 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 56% to
$3.78 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.42 during the same
period in 2000.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $64,490 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $68,339 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of
$3,849, or 6%. This decrease was due to lower production costs and depletion,
offset by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $51,876 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$54,969 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $3,093 decrease, or 6%. The
decrease was primarily due to lower well maintenance costs.

During this period, G&A increased 4% from $4,356 for the three months ended June
30, 2000 to $4,521 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a higher
allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Depletion was $8,093 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$9,014 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $921, or 10%. This decrease
was primarily the result of an increase in proved reserves on a significant well
during the period ended June 30, 2001.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $156,685 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $60,241 and
reductions in working capital of $90,780 and production costs of $7,838, offset
by an increase in G&A expenses of $2,174. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in gas and NGL prices of $37,922 during 2001 and an
increase in production of $22,954, offset by a $635 decline in oil prices as
compared to the same period in 2000. The decrease in production costs was
primarily due to lower well maintenance costs, offset by increases in production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices. The increase in G&A was
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being


                                        8


   1766

allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2000 included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on various oil
and gas properties.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$107,338, of which $1,073 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$106,265 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $161,017, of which $1,610 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $159,407 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to

Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

        Parker & Parsley 90 Spraberry Private Development, L.P. (the
"Partnership") was organized in 1990 as a general partnership under the laws of
the State of Texas and was converted to a Delaware limited partnership in 1991.
The Partnership's managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA,
Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

        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. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

        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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

        Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

        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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. 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.


                                       7
   1775

        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
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $90,823 related to its
proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

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, 2000, 1999 and 1998 and
changes in such quantities during the years then ended. All of the Partnership's
reserves are proved developed and located within the United States. The
Partnership's reserves are based on an evaluation prepared by Williamson
Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent petroleum consultant, using criteria
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.12 per barrel of NGLs and $7.64 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $2,575,000 and undiscounted was $5,966,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

        The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

        Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

and $4,023, respectively, which are included in the caption "Accounts receivable
- oil and gas sales" in the accompanying Balance Sheet.

        Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one purchaser would
not have an adverse effect on the ability of the Partnership to sell its oil,
NGLs and gas production.


NOTE 9. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

        The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of
the Partnership agreement:

        Managing general partner - The managing general partner of the
        Partnership is Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
        manage, control and administer all Program and Partnership affairs. As
        managing general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties,
        all production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
        Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
        received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and
        gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being


                                       12
   1780

        paid to the Partnership. Under the Partnership agreement, the managing
        general partner pays 1% of the Partnership's acquisition, drilling and
        completion costs and 1% of its operating, general and administrative
        expenses. The managing general partner is also responsible for 1% of
        guaranty and loan commitment fees. 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 partners entered into subscription
        agreements for aggregate capital contributions of $5,200,000. Pioneer
        USA is required to contribute amounts equal to 1% of initial Partnership
        capital less commission and organization and offering costs 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 that its share of revenues does not cover such costs.

THIS REPORT CONTAINS 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
   RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In September 2000, restated financial statements for 1999 and 1998 were issued
to the partners to correct a revenue allocation error for one well in the
Partnership. The 1999 and 1998 amounts contained in the following discussion of
financial condition and the results of operation are based on the restated
amounts.

Results of operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 85% to $638,385 from 2000 as
compared to $345,743 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received and an increase in production. In 2000, 16,344 barrels
of oil, 6,249 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 22,121 mcf of gas were
sold, or 26,280 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 15,384 barrels of
oil, 5,304 barrels of NGLs and 19,579 mcf of gas were sold, or 23,951 BOEs. Due
to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties,
management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the future until
the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.13, or 71%, from
$17.04 in 1999 to $29.17 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.86, or 60%, from $9.70 in 1999 to $15.56 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 76% from $1.65 in 1999 to $2.91 in 2000. 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 2000.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $297,927 as compared to $276,234
in 1999, an increase of $21,693, or 8%. The increase was due to increases in
production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a
decline in depletion.

Production costs were $235,823 in 2000 and $177,422 in 1999, resulting in a
$58,401 increase, or 33%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
42% from $14,767 in 1999 to $20,910 in 2000, primarily due to a higher
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The
Partnership paid the managing general partner $18,935 in 2000 and $11,455 in
1999 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid
directly by the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the
allocated expenses based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative
to the non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.

Depletion was $41,194 in 2000 as compared to $84,045 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $42,851, or 51%. This decrease was primarily due to a 106,156
barrels of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher
commodity prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 25% to $345,743 from
$275,856 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received and an increase in production. In 1999, 15,384 barrels of oil, 5,304
barrels of NGLs and 19,579 mcf of gas were sold, or 23,951 BOEs. In 1998, 15,196
barrels of oil, 5,639 barrels of NGLs and 24,095 mcf of gas were sold, or 24,851
BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.98, or 30%, from
$13.06 in 1998 to $17.04 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.81, or 41%, from $6.89 in 1998 to $9.70 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 3% from $1.60 in 1998 to $1.65 in 1999.

Gain on disposition of assets of $213 recognized during 1998 was related to
equipment salvage received on a well plugged and abandoned in a prior year.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $276,234 as compared to $413,082
in 1998, a decrease of $136,848, or 33%. The decrease was due to reductions in
the impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production costs, offset
by an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $177,422 in 1999 and $184,952 in 1998, resulting in a
$7,530 decrease, or 4%. The decrease was due to reductions in well maintenance
costs and ad valorem taxes.

During this period, G&A increased 35% from $10,935 in 1998 to $14,767 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $11,455 in
1999 and $9,241 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $90,823 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $84,045 in 1999 compared to $126,372 in 1998, representing a
decrease of $42,327, or 33%. This decrease was primarily due to an increase in
proved reserves of 151,444 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of higher
commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis from
charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $102,509 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $294,870, offset by increases in production costs paid
of $58,401, G&A expenses paid of $6,143 and working capital of $127,817. The
increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices
during 2000 which contributed an additional $244,760 to oil and gas receipts and
an increase of $50,110 resulting from the increase in production during 2000.
The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance costs
incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to
higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited
to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $3,269 in 1999 were due to equipment credits
received on active wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $308,005, of which $3,080 was
distributed to the managing general partner and $304,925 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $140,741, of which
$1,407 was distributed to the managing general partner and $139,334 to the
limited partners.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.

(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2041, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended
   June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The  Partnership's oil and gas revenues  increased  slightly to $884,166 for the
six months  ended June 30, 2001 as  compared to $878,201  for the same period in
2000. The increase in revenues  resulted from higher average prices received for
gas,  offset by a decline  in  production  and a decline in the  average  prices
received  for oil and NGLs.  For the six  months  ended  June 30,  2001,  19,763


                                        7

   1794



barrels of oil, 5,186 barrels of natural gas liquids  ("NGLs") and 52,227 mcf of
gas were sold, or 33,654 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs").  For the six months
ended June 30, 2000,  22,483  barrels of oil,  10,398 barrels of NGLs and 47,283
mcf of gas were sold, or 40,762 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased  $.43, or 2%, from $27.85
for the six months  ended June 30, 2000 to $27.42 for the same period ended June
30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased $1.85, or 13%,
from  $13.94  during the six months  ended June 30,  2000 to $12.09 for the same
period in 2001.  The average price  received per mcf of gas increased  136% from
$2.27  during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $5.35 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $408,661 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $419,855 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $11,194,
or 3%. This decrease was due to a decline in  depletion,  offset by increases in
production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production  costs  were  $313,648  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2001 and
$308,717 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $4,931 increase, or 2%. This
increase is primarily  due to  additional  well  maintenance  costs  incurred to
stimulate well production.

G&A's  components are independent  accounting and engineering  fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
slightly  from $32,098 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $32,165 for the
same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion  was  $62,848  for the six months  ended June 30,  2001 as compared to
$79,040 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $16,192 or 20%. This decrease
was primarily due to 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 2000 and a
decline in oil  production  of 2,720  barrels for the six months  ended June 30,
2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The  Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  decreased 5% to $431,706 for the three
months  ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $453,778 for the same period in 2000.
The  decrease  in revenues  resulted  from a decrease  in  production  and lower
average  prices  received  for oil and NGLs,  offset by  higher  average  prices
received for gas. For the three  months  ended June 30, 2001,  9,218  barrels of

                                        8

   1795



oil,  2,611 barrels of NGLs and 33,176 mcf of gas were sold, or 17,358 BOEs. For
the three months ended June 30, 2000,  11,123  barrels of oil,  5,559 barrels of
NGLs and 24,304 mcf of gas were sold, or 20,733 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $1.06, or 4%, from $27.82
during the three  months  ended June 30,  2000 to $26.76 for the same  period in
2001.  The average price received per barrel of NGLs  decreased  $4.84,  or 34%,
from $14.20  during the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 to $9.36 for the same
period in 2001.  The average  price  received per mcf of gas  increased 80% from
$2.69 for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 to $4.84 for the same period in
2001.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  decreased to $193,188 for the three months ended June
30,  2001 as compared  to  $213,414  for the same period in 2000,  a decrease of
$20,226,  or 9%. This decrease was due to declines in G&A,  production costs and
depletion.

Production  costs were  $152,796  for the three  months  ended June 30, 2001 and
$160,948  for the same period in 2000  resulting in an $8,152  decrease,  or 5%.
This decrease was primarily due to lower well maintenance costs.

During this period,  G&A  decreased  49% from $21,632 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $11,109 for the same period in 2001,  primarily  due to a lower
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated  (limited to 3%
of oil and gas  revenues)  as a result of  decreased  oil and gas revenues and a
decrease in audit, tax and monitoring fees.

Depletion  was $29,283 for the three  months  ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$30,834 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $1,551,  or 5%. This decrease
was due to a reduction in the  Partnership's  net depletable  basis from charges
taken in  accordance  with SFAS 121  during  the  fourth  quarter  of 2000 and a
decline in oil  production  of 1,905 barrels for the three months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  increased  $119,874  during the six
months  ended  June 30,  2001 from the same  period  ended June 30,  2000.  This
increase  was the result of a reduction  in working  capital of $119,505  and an
increase  of $5,367  in oil and gas  sales  receipts,  offset  by  increases  in
production  costs of $4,931 and G&A costs of $67.  The  increase  in oil and gas
receipts  resulted  from the  increase  in gas prices of $146,081  during  2001,
offset by a decline of $111,110 in production  and a $29,604  decline  resulting
from  lower  oil and NGL  prices as  compared  to the same  period in 2000.  The
increase in production costs was primarily due to higher well maintenance  costs
incurred to stimulate well production.  The increase in G&A was primarily due to
an increase in audit and tax fees.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The  Partnership's  principal  investing  activities during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 and 2000 were related to  expenditures  for oil and gas  equipment
upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from asset  dispositions of $8,812  were received during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 on a temporarily abandoned well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash  distributions to the partners were
$320,327,  of which $3,203 was  distributed to the managing  general partner and
$317,124 to the limited partners.  For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $515,856,  of which $5,159 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $510,697 to the limited partners.

For the three  months  ended June 30, 2001,  no  distributions  were made by the
partnership to its partners.  Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash  distribution
that  otherwise  would  have been  mailed to  partners  in late June was made to
holders  of  record  as of July 9, 2001 and was  mailed  on July 13,  2001.  For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001,  Pioneer Natural Resources Company  ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission  Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary  proxy  statement/prospectus"),
which  proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer,  Pioneer  Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Pioneer,  and
46 Parker & Parsley limited  partnerships.  Each  partnership  that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related  merger  proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions  described in the
preliminary proxy  statement/prospectus,  and the partnership  interests of each
such  partnership  will be converted  into the right to receive  Pioneer  common
stock.  The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley  limited  partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger.  The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration  of offers from third parties to purchase any  partnership  or its
assets and the majority  approval of the limited  partnership  interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit  proxies  from limited  partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy  statement/prospectus  is final and declared  effective.  No
solicitation will be made using preliminary  materials.  Nonetheless,  copies of
the preliminary proxy  statement/prospectus  may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it  contains  important  information  about  the  proposed  mergers,   including
information  about the direct and indirect  interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers.  The limited  partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to

   1800

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1991 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").
Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 11,620 limited partnership
interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA is responsible for all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 38% and 16% were attributable to sales
made to Plains Marketing, L.P. and TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC, respectively. Pioneer
USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one purchaser would not have an
adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and
gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.
The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that
could expose the Partnership to substantial


                                        2

   1801

liability due to pollution and other environmental damages. 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.

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 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
primarily in the Spraberry Trend Area of West Texas were acquired by the
Partnership, resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 48
oil and gas wells. One well has been plugged and abandoned. At December 31,
2000, the Partnership had 47 wells producing.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, see Note 7 of Notes to Financial
Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data"
below. Such reserves have been evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants,
Inc., an independent petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4.    SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

ITEM 5.    MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
            DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 11,620 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 724 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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, 2000 and 1999, distributions of $1,162,365 and
$432,629, respectively, were made to the limited partners.

ITEM 7.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
            RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 67% to $1,899,948 for 2000 as
compared to $1,140,335 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received, offset by a decline in production. In 2000, 43,704
barrels of oil, 20,425 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 94,315 mcf of
gas were sold, or 79,848 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 44,203
barrels of oil, 20,617 barrels of NGLs and 100,615 mcf of gas were sold, or
81,589 BOEs. Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties, management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the
future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully
depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.33, or 70%, from
$17.57 in 1999 to $29.90 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.60, or 60%, from $9.34 in 1999 to $14.94 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 80% from $1.70 in 1999 to $3.06 in 2000. 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 2000.

A gain on disposition of assets of $1,096 recognized during 1999 was from
equipment credits received on one temporarily abandoned property.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 2000 to $802,130 as compared to $884,937
in 1999, a decrease of $82,807, or 9%. The decrease was due to declines in
depletion, the impairment of oil and gas properties and general and
administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by an increase in production costs.

Production costs were $589,344 in 2000 and $514,994 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $74,350, or 14%. This increase was primarily due to higher
production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well
maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased
21% from $75,454 in 1999 to $59,962 in 2000. The Partnership paid the managing
general partner $41,213 in 2000 and $34,110 in 1999 for G&A incurred on behalf
of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by the Partnership. The
managing general partner determines the allocated expenses based upon the level
of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities of the
managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent over the
past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect changes in
Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized
non-cash charges of $12,824 and $66,898 related to its oil and gas properties
during 2000 and 1999, respectively.

                                        5

   1804
Depletion decreased in 2000 to $140,000 as compared to $227,591 in 1999,
representing a decrease of $87,591, or 38%. This decrease was primarily due to a
127,977 barrels of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of
higher commodity prices and a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable
basis from charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter
of 1999.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 19% to $1,140,335 from
$955,645 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 44,203 barrels of oil,
20,617 barrels of NGLs and 100,615 mcf of gas were sold, or 81,589 BOEs. In
1998, 49,403 barrels of oil, 21,220 barrels of NGLs and 108,617 mcf of gas were
sold, or 88,726 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $4.42, or 34%, from
$13.15 in 1998 to $17.57 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $2.90, or 45%, from $6.44 in 1998 to $9.34 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 9% from $1.56 in 1998 to $1.70 in 1999.

A gain on disposition of assets of $1,096 recognized during 1999 was from
equipment credits received on one temporarily abandoned property.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $884,937 as compared to $1,247,302
in 1998, a decrease of $362,365, or 29%. The decrease was due to declines in the
impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production costs, offset by
an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $514,994 in 1999 and $535,948 in 1998, resulting in a
decrease of $20,954, or 4%. This decrease resulted from declines in ad valorem
taxes, well maintenance costs and workover costs, offset by an increase in
production taxes due to increased oil and gas revenues.

During this period, G&A increased 72% from $43,977 in 1998 to $75,454 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $34,110 in
1999 and $24,415 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

The Partnership recognized non-cash SFAS 121 charges of $66,898 and $306,043
related to its oil and gas properties during 1999 and 1998, respectively.

Depletion decreased in 1999 to $227,591 as compared to $361,334 in 1998. This
represented a decrease of $133,743, or 37%. This decrease was the result of an
increase in proved reserves of 281,767 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of
higher commodity prices, a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis
from charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of 1998
and a decline in oil production of 5,200 barrels for the period ended December
31, 1999 compared to the same period in 1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998,


                                        6

   1805
weather patterns, regional economic recessions and political matters combined to
cause worldwide oil supplies to exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline
in oil prices. Also during 1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for
natural gas declined. During 1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and certain other crude oil exporting nations
announced reductions in their planned export volumes. Those announcements,
together with the enactment of the announced reductions in export volumes, had a
positive impact on world oil prices, as have overall natural gas supply and
demand fundamentals on North American natural gas prices. Although the favorable
commodity price environment and stable field service cost environment is
expected to continue during 2001, there is no assurance that commodity prices
will not return to a less favorable level or that field service costs will not
escalate in the future, both of which could negatively impact the Partnership's
future results of operations and cash distributions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $647,967 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $767,190 and a decline in G&A expenses paid of
$15,492, offset by an increase in production costs paid of $74,350 and working
capital of $60,365. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the
increase in commodity prices during 2000 which contributed an additional
$804,227 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $37,037 resulting from the decline
in production during 2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to
increased production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and
additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities during 2000 and 1999 included
expenditures related to equipment upgrades on various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $11,549 and $1,096 recognized during 2000
and 1999, respectively, were from the disposition of oil and gas equipment on
active wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $1,174,106, of which $11,741
was distributed to the managing general partner and $1,162,365 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $436,999, of which
$4,370 was distributed to the managing general partner and $432,629 to the
limited partners.

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998


NOTE 1.    ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

       Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1991 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

       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.    SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

       A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

       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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants. The
carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

       Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

       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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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.


                                       14

   1813



       Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

       Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

       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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

       Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3.    IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

       In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $12,824, $66,898 and
$306,043 related to its proved oil and gas properties during 2000, 1999 and
1998, respectively.

liabilities was $946,627 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

       As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.72
per barrel of oil, $12.21 per barrel of NGLs and $7.85 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $8,217,000 and undiscounted was $17,966,000.

       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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

      The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

      Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider probable reserves, anticipated
future oil and gas prices, interest rates, changes in development and production
costs and risks associated with future production. Because of these and other
considerations, any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and
imprecise.

NOTE 9.    PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

       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 Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA has the power and authority to
       manage, control and administer all Partnership affairs. As managing
       general partner and operator of the Partnership's properties, all
       production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and billed to the
       Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues are
       received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of the oil and
       gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to
       the Partnership. Under the limited partnership agreement, the managing
       general partner pays 1%



                                       19

   1818




       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
          $11,620,000. The managing general partner is required to contribute
          amounts equal to 1% of initial Partnership capital less sales
          commission costs 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.

----------

(a)  Stated in thousands.


(b)  The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
     value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated oil
     and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of March 31,
     2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the estimated
     expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less the
     cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners.


(c)  Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
     $1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
     investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should
     not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the
     value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.


(d)  The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum of
     (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's reserves
     during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated residual value from
     the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at the end of the
     operating period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as
     in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A) partnership level general and
     administrative expenses, and (B) the cash distribution on July 13, 2001 by
     the partnership to its partners.



(e)  The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
     partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation expenses
     which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata share
     of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
     of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
     13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
     represent estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to sell
     the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
     associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
     partnership.


(f)  Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
     offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
     your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
     advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
     in your particular circumstances.

          INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS

     The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners. Although not
required by the partnership agreement, the opinion will also state that neither
the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited
partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to render the
opinion is not required to be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained __________ of Dallas, Texas
for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on behalf of the limited
partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an approval of that
counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is attached as an
exhibit to the merger proposals.

                  INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP

     The term of the partnership is until December 31, 2041, unless the
partnership is earlier terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions
of its partnership agreement.

Note 1.     Organization and nature of operations

Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1991 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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 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 June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 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, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039-3746.

Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
               and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 23% to $732,727 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $954,341 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decrease in production and a decline in
the average price received for oil, offset by higher average prices received for
gas and NGLs. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 17,901 barrels of oil,

                                        7

   1836



6,251 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 28,144 mcf of gas were sold,
or 28,843 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June 30,
2000, 24,467 barrels of oil, 11,016 barrels of NGLs and 42,828 mcf of gas were
sold, or 42,621 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.65, or 2%, from $28.58
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.93 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.23, or 8%, from
$14.84 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $16.07 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 120% from $2.14
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.70 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 six
months ended June 30, 2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $2,273 was recognized during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $344,793 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $359,492 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $14,699,
or 4%. This decrease was due to declines in general and administrative expenses
("G&A"), production costs and depletion.

Production costs were $277,327 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$280,019 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $2,692 decrease, or 1%. This
decrease was primarily the result of a decline in workover costs, offset by an
increase in well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased
28% from $37,463 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $26,948 for the same
period in 2001. The decline was primarily due to a lower percentage of the
managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of decreased oil and gas revenues for the six months ended
June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Depletion was $40,518 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$42,010 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $1,492, or 4%. This decrease
was primarily due to a decline in oil production of 6,566 barrels for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 30% to $350,850 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $500,753 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from a decrease in production and a decline in

                                        8

   1837



the average price received for oil, offset by higher average prices received for
gas and NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 8,311 barrels of oil,
4,242 barrels of NGLs and 17,521 mcf of gas were sold, or 15,473 BOEs. For the
three months ended June 30, 2000, 12,405 barrels of oil, 6,040 barrels of NGLs
and 23,026 mcf of gas were sold, or 22,283 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $1.72, or 6%, from $28.62
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.90 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $.32, or 2%, from $14.61
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.93 for the same period in
2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 46% from $2.50 during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.65 in 2001.

Gain on disposition of assets of $2,273 was recognized during the three months
ended June 30, 2000 from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses decreased to $180,244 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $180,367 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of
$123. This decrease was due to declines in G&A and depletion, offset by an
increase in production costs.

Production costs were $152,544 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$134,063 for the same period in 2000 resulting in an $18,481 increase, or 14%.
This increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover
costs incurred to stimulate well production.

During this period, G&A decreased 66% from $26,259 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $8,966 for the same period in 2001. The decline was due to less
G&A being allocated due to lower oil and gas revenues for the three months ended
June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000 and declines in audit, tax
and monitoring fees.

Depletion was $18,734 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$20,045 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $1,311, or 7%. This decrease
was primarily due to a decrease in oil production of 4,094 barrels for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $12,053 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
decrease was due to a decline in oil and gas sales receipts of $222,242, offset
by declines in production costs of $2,692, G&A expenses paid of $10,515 and
working capital of $196,982. The decrease in oil and gas receipts resulted from
a decline of $328,981 in production during 2001 as compared to the same period
in 2000 and a decline in oil prices of $16,400, offset by an increase in gas and


                                        9

   1838



NGL prices of $123,139 during 2001. The decrease in production costs was
primarily due to lower workover costs, offset by an increase in well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production. The decrease in G&A was primarily
due to lower G&A being allocated due to decreased oil and gas revenues.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 were related to the upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active
properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $133 and $2,273 incurred during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively, were related to equipment
credits on active wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$281,876, of which $2,819 was distributed to the managing general partner and
$279,057 to the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $554,017, of which $5,540 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $548,477 to the limited partners.

For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.


                                       10

   1839

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers. The limited partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.

                                     PART I

ITEM 1.    BUSINESS

Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1991 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").
Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 11,249 limited partnership
interests outstanding.

The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
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. Pioneer
USA is responsible for all management functions.

The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.

The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 48% and 22% were attributable to sales
made to Mobil Oil Corporation and Plains Marketing, L.P., respectively. Pioneer
USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one purchaser would not have an
adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and
gas production.

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.

Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.
The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards such as oil
spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases that
could expose the Partnership to substantial



                                       2
   1843

liability due to pollution and other environmental damages. 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.

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 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
primarily in the Spraberry Trend Area of West Texas were acquired by the
Partnership, resulting in the Partnership's participation in the drilling of 29
oil and gas wells. At December 31, 2000, the Partnership had 29 producing oil
and gas wells.

For information relating to the Partnership's estimated proved oil and gas
reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, see Note 7 of Notes to Financial
Statements included in "Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data"
below. Such reserves have been evaluated by Williamson Petroleum Consultants,
Inc., an independent petroleum consultant.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Partnership from time to time is a party to various legal proceedings
incidental to its business involving claims in oil and gas leases or interests,
other claims for damages in amounts not in excess of 10% of its current assets
and other matters, none of which Pioneer USA believes to be material to the
Partnership.

ITEM 4. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

There were no matters submitted to a vote of the partners during the fourth
quarter of 2000.

                                     PART II


ITEM 5.   MARKET FOR LIMITED PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS AND LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
          DISTRIBUTIONS

At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 11,249 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 677 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA 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 will be distributed to the
partners at least quarterly in accordance with the limited partnership
agreement. During the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, $1,324,583 and
$481,274, 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

2000 compared to 1999

The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 80% to $2,046,224 for 2000 as
compared to $1,136,073 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received and an increase in production. In 2000, 47,684 barrels
of oil, 21,866 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 85,556 mcf of gas
were sold, or 83,809 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 46,030 barrels
of oil, 19,026 barrels of NGLs and 74,025 mcf of gas were sold, or 77,394 BOEs.
Due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties,
management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the future until
the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully depleted.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.19, or 68%, from
$17.90 in 1999 to $30.09 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $6.35, or 63%, from $10.15 in 1999 to $16.50 in 2000. The average
price received per mcf of gas increased 82% from $1.61 in 1999 to $2.93 in 2000.
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 2000.

Gain on disposition of assets of $2,273 was recognized during 2000 from
equipment credits received on one fully depleted well.

Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $713,527 as compared to $655,625
in 1999, an increase of $57,902, or 9%. The increase was due to an increase in
production costs, offset by decreases in depletion and general and
administrative expenses ("G&A").

Production costs were $576,561 in 2000 and $442,342 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $134,219, or 30%. This increase was primarily due to higher
production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well
maintenance and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production.

G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased
22% from $68,860 in 1999 to $53,623 in 2000. The Partnership paid the managing
general partner $38,999 in 2000 and $33,982 in 1999 for G&A incurred on behalf
of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by the Partnership. The
managing general partner determines the allocated expenses based upon the level
of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities of the
managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent over the
past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect changes in
Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

Depletion was $83,343 in 2000 as compared to $144,423 in 1999, representing a
decrease of $61,080, or 42%. This decrease was primarily due to a 82,084 barrels
of oil increase in proved reserves during 2000 as a result of higher commodity
prices.

1999 compared to 1998

The Partnership's 1999 oil and gas revenues increased 30% to $1,136,073 from
$873,012 in 1998. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices
received, offset by a decline in production. In 1999, 46,030 barrels of oil,
19,026 barrels of NGLs and 74,025 mcf of gas were sold, or 77,394 BOEs. In 1998,
49,100 barrels of oil, 17,427 barrels of NGLs and 68,244 mcf of gas were sold,
or 77,901 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased $4.57, or 34%, from
$13.33 in 1998 to $17.90 in 1999. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $3.36, or 49%, from $6.79 in 1998 to $10.15 in 1999. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 10% from $1.47 in 1998 to $1.61 in 1999.

Gain on disposition of assets of $197 recognized in 1998 was attributable to
credits received from the disposal of oil and gas equipment on a saltwater
disposal well that was plugged and abandoned in a prior year.

Total costs and expenses decreased in 1999 to $655,625 as compared to $1,062,299
in 1998, a decrease of $406,674, or 38%. The decrease was due to declines in the
impairment of oil and gas properties, depletion and production costs, offset by
an increase in G&A.

Production costs were $442,342 in 1999 and $464,489 in 1998, resulting in a
$22,147 decrease, or 5%. This decrease was due to lower ad valorem taxes and
well maintenance costs, offset by an increase in production taxes due to
increased oil and gas revenues.

During this period, G&A increased 58% from $43,606 in 1998 to $68,860 in 1999
primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being
allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil
and gas revenues. The Partnership paid the managing general partner $33,982 in
1999 and $27,503 in 1998 for G&A incurred on behalf of the Partnership.

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 managing general partner reviews the
Partnership's oil and gas properties for impairment whenever events or
circumstances indicate a decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of
the Partnership's assets may have occurred. As a result of the review and
evaluation of its long-lived assets for impairment, the Partnership recognized a
non-cash charge of $295,542 related to its oil and gas properties during 1998.

Depletion was $144,423 in 1999 compared to $258,662 in 1998. This represented a
decrease of $114,239, or 44%. This decrease was primarily the result of an
increase in proved reserves of 362,706 barrels of oil during 1999 as a result of
higher commodity prices, a reduction in the Partnership's net depletable basis
from charges taken in accordance with SFAS 121 during the fourth quarter of
1998.

Petroleum industry

The petroleum industry has been characterized by volatile oil, NGL and natural
gas commodity prices and relatively stable supplier costs during the three years
ended December 31, 2000. During 1998, weather patterns, regional economic
recessions and political matters combined to cause worldwide oil supplies to
exceed demand resulting in a substantial decline in oil prices. Also during
1998, but to a lesser extent, market prices for natural gas declined. During
1999 and 2000, the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and
certain other crude oil exporting nations announced reductions in their planned
export volumes. Those announcements, together with the enactment of the
announced reductions in export volumes, had a positive impact on world oil
prices, as have overall natural gas supply and demand fundamentals on North
American natural gas prices. Although the favorable commodity price environment
and stable field service cost environment is expected to continue during 2001,
there is no assurance that commodity prices will not return to a less favorable
level or that field service costs will not escalate in the future, both of which
could negatively impact the Partnership's future results of operations and cash
distributions.

Liquidity and capital resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $766,498 during the year
ended December 31, 2000 from 1999. This increase was due to an increase in oil
and gas sales receipts of $919,054 and a decline in G&A expenses paid of
$15,237, offset by increases in production costs paid of $134,219 and working
capital of $33,574. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the
increase in commodity prices during 2000 which contributed an additional
$788,626 to oil and gas receipts and $130,428 resulting from the increase in
production during 2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to
increased production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and
additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred to stimulate well
production.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

The Partnership's principal investing activities during 2000 and 1999 were
related to the addition of equipment on various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds from asset dispositions of $2,372 recognized during 2000 were related
to equipment credits on two active wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

In 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $1,337,963, of which $13,380
was distributed to the managing general partner and $1,324,583 to the limited
partners. In 1999, cash distributions to the partners were $486,135, of which
$4,861 was distributed to the managing general partner and $481,274 to the
limited partners.

The Partners
Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P.
  (A Delaware Limited Partnership):

We have audited the balance sheets of Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P. as of December

                        (A Delaware Limited Partnership)

                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

      Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership
organized in 1991 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").

      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. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      A summary of the significant accounting policies consistently applied in
the preparation of the accompanying financial statements follows:

      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 evaluated by independent petroleum consultants.
The carrying amounts of properties sold or otherwise disposed of and the related
allowances for depletion are eliminated from the accounts and any gain or loss
is included in results of operations.

      Impairment of long-lived assets - 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 estimated fair value of the asset.

      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 reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
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.



                                       14
   1855

        Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes 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. Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based
upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership
activities of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been
consistent over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated
to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.

        Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.

        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. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.

        Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.

NOTE 3. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS

        In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and
gas properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a
decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and
gas properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of
its oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on
proved reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved 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 as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved in the industry. As a result, the
Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $295,542 related to
its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

liabilities was $367,378 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

        As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.59 per barrel of NGLs and $7.73 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $8,364,000 and undiscounted was $17,283,000.

        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. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.

Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows

       The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.

       Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

        acquisition, drilling and completion costs, and 1% of its operating and

        costs allocated to the limited partners and to contribute amounts

                                    PART II

                     INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

ITEM 20. INDEMNIFICATION OF OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS.

     Article Twelfth of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of
Pioneer Parent provides that Pioneer Parent must indemnify its officers and
directors to the extent allowed by the Delaware General Corporation Law.
Pursuant to Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, Pioneer Parent
generally has the power to indemnify its present and former directors and
officers against expenses and liabilities incurred by them in connection with
any suit to which they are, or are threatened to be made, a party by reason of
their serving in those positions so long as they acted in good faith and in a
manner they reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests
of Pioneer Parent, and with respect to any criminal action, they had no
reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. With respect to suits by
or in the right of Pioneer Parent, however, indemnification is generally limited
to attorneys' fees and other expenses and is not available if the person is
adjudged to be liable to Pioneer Parent unless the court determines that
indemnification is appropriate. The statute expressly provides that the power to
indemnify authorized thereby is not exclusive of any rights granted under any
by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or
otherwise. Pioneer Parent also has the power to purchase and maintain insurance
for its directors and officers. Additionally, Article Twelfth of the Amended and
Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Pioneer Parent provides that, in the
event that an officer or director files suit against Pioneer Parent seeking
indemnification of liabilities or expenses incurred, the burden will be on
Pioneer Parent to prove that the indemnification would not be permitted under
the Delaware General Corporation Law.

     Pioneer Parent has entered into indemnification agreements with each of its
directors and officers. These agreements provide that Pioneer Parent must,
within 30 days of a request, indemnify an officer or director for liabilities
incurred to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General Corporation
Law. Pioneer Parent must, within two days of a request, indemnify an officer or
director for expenses incurred in the defense of a claim or other proceeding.
The obligation of Pioneer Parent to provide the indemnification does not apply
if, before the date on which Pioneer Parent must provide the indemnification,
Pioneer Parent's board of directors, or a representative chosen by the board of
directors, concludes that indemnification would be improper under the Delaware
General Corporation Law.

     The preceding discussion of Pioneer Parent's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law, and the indemnification agreements is not intended to be exhaustive and is
qualified in its entirety by such Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, and such
indemnification agreements.

ITEM 22. UNDERTAKINGS.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
Pioneer Parent pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, Pioneer
Parent has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities, other than the payment by
Pioneer Parent of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of Pioneer Parent in the successful defense of any action,
suit or proceeding, is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person
in connection with the securities being registered, Pioneer Parent will, unless
in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling
precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

     Pioneer Parent hereby undertakes:

          (1) That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act of 1933, each filing of Pioneer Parent's annual report
     pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
     (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual
     report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934)
     that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
     deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
     offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
     deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;

          (2) That prior to any public reoffering of the securities registered
     hereunder through use of a prospectus which is a part of this registration
     statement by any person or party who is deemed to be an underwriter within
     the meaning of Rule 145(c), Pioneer Parent undertakes that such reoffering
     prospectus will contain the information called for by the applicable
     registration form with respect to reofferings by persons who may be deemed
     underwriters, in addition to the information called for by the other items
     of the applicable form;

          (3) That every prospectus: (a) that is filed pursuant to paragraph (3)
     immediately preceding, or (b) that purports to meet the requirements of
     Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is used in
     connection with an offering of securities subject to Rule 415, will be
     filed as a part of an amendment to the registration statement and will not
     be used until such amendment is effective, and that, for purposes of
     determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
     post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
     relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
     securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
     offering thereof;

          (4) To respond to requests for information that is incorporated by
     reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11 or 13 of Form
     S-4, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the
     incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means.
     This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the
     effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding
     to the request; and

          (5) To supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information
     concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein,
     that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when
     it became effective.
