Parker & Parsley Private Investment 87, Ltd. Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P. 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 of 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 to be mailed on or about July 12, 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. -1- 3 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. 4. Other business that properly comes before the special meeting or any adjournments or postponements of the special meeting. Pioneer USA is not aware of any other business for the special meeting. 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 , 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 AND THAT COUNSEL'S LEGAL OPINION FOR EACH PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH YOU OWN AN INTEREST. 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 require the favorable vote of the holders, other than Pioneer USA, of 6-2/3% of its limited partnership interests to approve those merger proposals. 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. By Order of the Board of Directors, , 2001 Mark L. Withrow Director, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary -2- 4 The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed.

PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JUNE , 2001 [LOGO] PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES USA, INC. 1400 WILLIAMS SQUARE WEST 5205 NORTH O'CONNOR BLVD. IRVING, TEXAS 75039 , 2001 Dear Limited Partners: Pioneer Natural Resources Company, a Delaware corporation that we call Pioneer Parent, and we at Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation and 100% owned subsidiary of Pioneer Parent that we call Pioneer USA, desire to acquire 46 limited partnerships. We are the managing or sole general partner of each of the partnerships. 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 of 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 to be mailed on or about July 12, 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 5,855,813 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. 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 17. THESE INCLUDE: o 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. o YOU WERE NOT INDEPENDENTLY REPRESENTED IN ESTABLISHING THE TERMS OF ANY MERGER. o 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.

PLEASE CAREFULLY READ ALL OF THE SUPPLEMENTS FOR THE PARTNERSHIPS IN WHICH YOU ARE A LIMITED PARTNER. -iii- 10 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 59. 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 automatically cancelled. We will automatically 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 three months ended March 31, 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. 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. -iv- 11 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 such 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 81. 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 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 of 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 6 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 44 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 to be mailed on or about July 12, 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 4 and 5 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. 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: o require fewer legal documents; o reduce filing fees and other costs; and o 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. 12 THE COMPANIES PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY 1400 Williams Square West 5205 North O'Connor Blvd. 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 69 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. Those SEC filings are available to you in the same manner as each reporting partnership's information. See "Where You Can Find More Information" on the inside front cover page of this document. PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES USA, INC. 1400 Williams Square West 5205 North O'Connor Blvd. Irving, Texas 75039 (972) 444-9001 We prepared this document to solicit your proxy. We are a 100% owned subsidiary of Pioneer Parent. We directly own almost all of Pioneer Parent's United States oil and gas properties. THE PARTNERSHIPS c/o Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. 1400 Williams Square West 5205 North O'Connor Blvd. Irving, Texas 75039 (972) 444-9001 The name of each partnership is found in the table beginning on page 4. 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 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 71 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 17 of this document. These include: o 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. o You were not independently represented in establishing the terms of any merger. o 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. o Repurchase offers in 2001 by each of the six partnerships with a repurchase obligation were higher than the merger value for the partnership. o 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. SUMMARY TABLE -- MERGER VALUE AND AMOUNT OF INITIAL LIMITED PARTNER INVESTMENT REPAID The table on pages 4 and 5 contains the following summary information for each partnership: -2- 13 o 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; o 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 o the aggregate 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: o Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA engaged Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. to review the estimates of each partnership's reserves as of March 31, 2001. o 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%. 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. 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. 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. -3- 14 SUMMARY TABLE -- MERGER VALUE AND AMOUNT OF INITIAL LIMITED PARTNER INVESTMENT REPAID

None of the partnership interests of any of the partnerships are 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. Oil and Gas Investment Vehicle. Pioneer Parent's common stock provides an oil and gas investment vehicle that we believe will be advantageous to the partnership interests in each partnership because: o 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. o Geographic Diversification and Larger Oil and Gas Reserve Base. By combining each participating partnership into a single ownership entity, the merger of the partnership provides the limited partners of the partnership with an investment portfolio substantially larger and more geographically diversified than the portfolio of the 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 that 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: o 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 based on a reserve value that has not been reduced for general and administrative expenses. o 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 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: -7- 18 o 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. o Limited partners who become Pioneer Parent stockholders will no longer receive partnership cash distributions. o Pioneer Parent will engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of new oil and gas properties which 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, but also offer the potential for additional benefits if the acquisition and exploitation activities are successful. o 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. However, we believe that an increase in oil and gas prices will also have an indirect beneficial effect on the market price for Pioneer Parent common stock. o 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. o Limited partners who become Pioneer Parent stockholders may have to recognize a taxable gain on the transaction. 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 32) On , 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 , 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: o the form and amount of consideration offered to you; o 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; o the elimination after the merger of each participating partnership of its limited partners' tax preparation costs relating to partnership tax information; o 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; and o the fairness opinion from Stanger. FAIRNESS OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR (SEE PAGE 33) Stanger has issued a fairness opinion dated , 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 48) You will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between (1) the value of the Pioneer -8- 19 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. YOU SHOULD SEEK TAX ADVICE FOR A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EACH SUCH 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. 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: o sell any Pioneer Parent common stock withheld from you and use the sale proceeds to pay the required withholding taxes; o 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 o 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 shall 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 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: o your, or your predecessor's, initial investment, including any additional assessments, in the partnership; to o 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 58 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 64 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 55) 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: -9- 20 o the limited partners' adoption and approval of the merger proposals; o the absence of any law or court order that prohibits the merger; and o 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. TERMINATION OF THE MERGER OF A PARTNERSHIP (SEE PAGE 56) 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: o the limited partners of a partnership fail to approve that partnership's merger; or o 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 51) 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 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 -10- 21 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. Each nonparticipating partnership will pay a portion of the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers otherwise allocable to the partnership based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the percentage of the partnership's limited partnership interests that are voted in favor of the merger proposals and the denominator of which is the percentage of the partnership's limited partnership interests for which votes are cast. Pioneer Parent has agreed to pay (1) the remainder of the estimated expenses and fees otherwise allocable to such nonparticipating partnership, (2) any expenses and fees actually incurred in excess of $2.0 million, and (3) 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 APPROVAL 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 $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. THIRD PARTY OFFERS (SEE PAGE 52) 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. COMPARATIVE PER SHARE MARKET PRICE INFORMATION (SEE PAGE 62) 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.

The information was prepared based on the following assumptions: o The merger of each partnership will be accounted for as a purchase business combination under generally accepted accounting principles. o The income statement data is presented as if the merger of each partnership had been consummated on January 1, 2000. o The balance sheet data is presented as if the merger of each partnership had been consummated on March 31, 2001. You should consider the following: o 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. o 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 Parent incorporated by reference in this document, (2) the historical financial statements of each partnership contained in the supplement to this document for the partnership, and (3) the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements contained elsewhere in this document.

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.

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 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 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. 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 to be mailed on or about July 12, 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 of 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 Pioneer Parent common stock. If it is more than $18.00, you will receive fewer shares of Pioneer Parent common stock than the illustrations in this document show. For historical and current market prices of Pioneer Parent common stock, see "Comparative Per Share Market Price and Dividend Information" on page 62. CURRENT MARKET PRICES FOR OIL AND GAS MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE MERGER VALUE FOR A PARTNERSHIP, WHICH MAY AFFECT DELIVERABILITY OF 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 ability of Pioneer to obtain an 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 render 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 -18- 29 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 render 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 63 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. We believe this limited form of auction would result in a better price to the limited partners of 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. No assurance may be given 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 will be 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 -19- 30 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 38. 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 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 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 investments 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. Stockholders will thus be subject to the market risks of all public companies, particularly in that the value of their equity securities may fluctuate from time to time depending upon general market conditions, conditions in the oil and gas industry, and Pioneer Parent's future performance. 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 73. 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 three months ended March 31, 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. 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 4.3% 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 of 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 -20- 31 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 IS AN INDEPENDENT OIL AND GAS EXPLORATION AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY AND ITS BUSINESS ACTIVITIES INVOLVE RISKS Pioneer Parent is an independent oil and gas exploration and development company. Its purpose is to competitively and profitably explore for, develop and produce proved oil, natural gas liquids and gas reserves. The nature of those business activities subjects Pioneer Parent to hazards and risks, including the following: o 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. o 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 (1) unexpected drilling conditions, (2) pressure or irregularities in formations, (3) equipment failures or accidents, (4) adverse weather conditions and (5) 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 Pioneer Parent's capital budget devoted to exploratory projects, it is likely that Pioneer Parent will continue to experience exploration and abandonment expense. o 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 (1) results of exploration activities, (2) commodity price outlooks, (3) planned future sales or (4) 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. o 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. -21- 32 o 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. o 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. o 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, 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. o 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. Pioneer Parent does not believe that its environmental risks are materially different from those of comparable companies in the oil and gas industry. Nevertheless, no assurance can be given that future environmental laws will not result in a curtailment of production or processing or a material increase in the costs of production, development, exploration or processing or otherwise adversely affect Pioneer Parent's operations and financial condition. Pollution and similar environmental risks generally are not fully insurable. o 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. o 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. o 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. o Pioneer Parent has international operations which 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 -22- 33 associated with international activities, including (1) economic and labor conditions, (2) political instability, (3) tax laws, including United States taxes on foreign subsidiaries, and (4) 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. o 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. -23- 34 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 each partnership. 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 transaction such as the merger of 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 timely 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% 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: o the continued decline in oil prices, which in turn would reduce any merger value to be paid to the limited partners of each partnership; o the decline in Pioneer Parent's stock price; and -24- 35 o 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: o the reserve report to be prepared by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. as of September 30, 1999; o the most recent quarterly financial statements; o the estimated cash distributions; o the estimated net asset value, going concern value and liquidation value; o secondary market prices; o tender offers; and o 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: o the process in which Pioneer USA's board of directors would approve the proposed transaction; o the submission of the proposed merger of each partnership to the limited partners of the partnership for approval; o the evaluation of offers from third parties; o the application of and compliance with the requirements of the federal securities laws; and o 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 -25- 36 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%. -26- 37 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 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 became involved in discussions with an independent oil and gas company similar in size to Pioneer relating to a corporate merger opportunity. Those discussions required the dedicated time and attention of Pioneer'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: o the decline in Pioneer Parent's stock price; o the increase in interest rates; and o 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 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 -27- 38 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 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 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 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 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. and Parker & Parsley 85-A, Ltd. at a price equivalent to $85, $75, $110 and $80 per $1,000 investment, respectively, in each of the partnerships. -28- 39 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 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. In late April 2001, Stanger contacted members of Pioneer USA's board and expressed concern regarding the pricing terms of the merger transaction. Based on Stanger's updated analysis of the new pricing terms for the merger transaction, Stanger questioned whether 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. After internal 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 Pioneer Parent on June 15, 2001, to discuss new pricing terms that were more favorable to the partnerships. 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 will 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 approval of the merger 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 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 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) its receipt of the Securities and Exchange -29- 40 Commission's declaration that the registration statement, that includes this document, is effective under the Securities Act of 1933. In a special meeting of the board of Pioneer USA held on , 2001, Stanger presented its opinion dated , 2001, 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 board of Pioneer USA then unanimously determined that the merger proposals for each partnership are advisable, fair to the unaffiliated limited partners and in the unaffiliated limited partners' best interests. Accordingly, the board recommended that the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership vote for the merger proposals. References to Pioneer USA's board's recommendation of the merger of each partnership and its finding that the merger consideration is fair from a financial point of view are stated in this preliminary document conditioned on the execution of a definitive merger agreement and its receipt of Stanger's fairness opinion, which are expected to occur when the registration statement that includes this document is declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933. 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: o Pioneer USA's operation of most of the properties; o Pioneer USA's extensive property holdings in the same fields; and o 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: o 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. o 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 co-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. o 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 record limited partners. 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: o 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 -30- 41 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 incentive 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., was originally formed has been realized. o 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. o Tax Incentive Has 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., was intended to provide to its partners federal income tax deductions for intangible drilling and development costs incurred by the partnership in the initial years of investment. Pioneer USA believes that the tax incentives have generally been realized. o 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 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. o 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. 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. o 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: -31- 42 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 through August 1, 2001; 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 82-1, Ltd. 10.73% Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd. 5.97% 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 64 of this document and Table 6 of Appendix A to this document. o 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 , 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 -32- 43 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 17 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 52 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 below on this page and "Assumptions" on page 39. 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, and such 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 seventy 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: o 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; o 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; o offer the assets of any partnership for sale to any third party; o express any opinion as to: -33- 44 - the impact on Pioneer USA or the limited partners of any partnership that does not participate in the proposed merger transaction; - 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: o a draft of this preliminary document; o 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; o financial statements of each partnership, including, if applicable, the partnership's Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998; o 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; o calculations prepared by Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA of the merger value per $1,000 of limited partner investment in each partnership; o Pioneer USA's analysis of other alternatives to the merger of each partnership, including going concern value, liquidation value, royalty trust and production payment; o estimates prepared by Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA of the merger value, going concern value and liquidation value per $1,000 of limited partner investment in each partnership; o the financial statements of Pioneer Parent included in its Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and its Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998; o pro forma financial data for Pioneer Parent assuming the completion of the proposed merger transaction; and o recent trading activity in shares of Pioneer Parent common stock. -34- 45 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 to be mailed on or about July 12, 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 $3.53 to $4.61. 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: o 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 o 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. -35- 46 - 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 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 Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd. permits Pioneer USA to allocate to the partnership (1) general and administrative expenses in an annual amount not to exceed the sum of 3.25% of the revenues of 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 the benefit of the partnership, Pioneer USA allocates to the partnership general and administrative expenses based on 3% of the revenues of the partnership. - The partnership agreement for each of the following partnerships permits Pioneer USA to allocate to the partnership general and administrative expenses, including all expenses directly attributable to the partnership as a result of fees or charges by parties other than Pioneer USA or its affiliates, such as legal, auditing and engineering fees, in an annual amount not to exceed 2% of the revenues of the partnership.

However, for purposes of clause (1) and for administrative ease and to the benefit of each of the partnerships, Pioneer USA allocates to the partnership general and administrative expenses based on 3% of the revenues of the partnership. Parker & Parsley Private Investment 89, L.P. Parker & Parsley Private Investment 90, L.P. Parker & Parsley 90 Spraberry Private Development, L.P. Stanger observed that the going concern value of each partnership was adjusted for the March 31, 2001 working capital balance less the distribution to be mailed on or about July 12, 2001 and that such going concern value ranged from 4.6% to 10.0% 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 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 liquidation expenses which are estimated to be the sum of (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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 April 30, 2001, collected from data maintained on partnerships by Stanger. Stanger observed that secondary market transactions were reported for 25 of the partnerships during such period. Stanger observed that for all partnerships except Parker & Parsley 81-II, Ltd. and 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 5.2% to 52.7%, averaging 27.7%. For Parker & Parsley 81-II, Ltd., Stanger observed that only one transaction involving $35,000 of original investment (7 units) was at a price in excess of the merger value. 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 one additional partnership. Secondary market firms reported a single transaction during the twelve months ended April 30, 2001 for Parker & Parsley 82-II, 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 April 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, 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 March 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 June -37- 48 2001. Stanger observed that the tender offers and related merger value per limited partnership interest for each of those partnerships were as follows: MERGER VALUE TENDER OFFER DISCOUNT TO PARTNERSHIP (PER $1,000 INVESTMENT) (PER $1,000 INVESTMENT) MERGER VALUE ----------- ----------------------- ----------------------- -------------------- Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd. $101.61 $13.75 (86.5%) Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd. 121.72 26.25 (78.4%) Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd.(a) 141.43 40.00 to 70.00 (50.5%) to (71.7%) Parker & Parsley 83-B, Ltd.(a) 154.41 50.00 to 55.00 (64.4%) to (67.6%) Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd. 201.43 60.00 (70.2%) Parker & Parsley 86-A, Ltd. 177.09 40.00 (77.4%) Parker & Parsley 86-B, Ltd. 224.17 115.00 (48.7%) Parker & Parsley 86-C, Ltd.(a) 161.23 65.00 to 67.50 (58.1%) to (63.7%) Parker & Parsley 87-A, Ltd.(a) 190.81 90.00 to 105.00 (45.0%) to (52.8%) Parker & Parsley 87-B, Ltd.(a) 201.38 60.00 to 65.00 (67.7%) to (70.2%) Parker & Parsley 88-A, L.P. 245.95 80.00 (67.5%) Parker & Parsley 88-B, L.P. 321.02 50.00 (84.4%) Parker & Parsley Private Investment 89, L.P. 270.69 162.50 (40.0%) Parker & Parsley 90-B, L.P.(a) 265.39 102.50 to 160.00 (39.7%) to (61.4%) Parker & Parsley 90-C, L.P.(a) 243.26 30.00 to 40.00 (83.6%) to (87.7%) Parker & Parsley 90 Spraberry Private Dev., L.P. 288.51 162.50 (43.7%) --------- (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 39.7% to 87.7%. 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 25.5% to 68.5% as follows: PER $1,000 ORIGINAL INVESTMENT ----------------------------------------- MERGER VALUE REPURCHASE OFFER PREMIUM ------------ ---------------- ------- Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd. $ 80.06 $137.97 72.3% Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd. 101.61 133.72 31.6% Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd. 121.72 150.59 23.7% Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd. 141.43 196.67 39.1% Parker & Parsley 83-B, Ltd. 154.41 210.15 36.1% Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd. 201.43 267.03 32.6% 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: -38- 49 o 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 o 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: o 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; o except for cause, such operating agreements do not provide for the termination of Pioneer USA as operator; and o 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: o 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; o there are no estimates of costs to remediate environmental conditions included in the reserve analysis; o 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; o 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; o no material changes have occurred in the information reviewed or in the value of the oil and gas reserves or working capital balances of each partnership between the date the information was provided to Stanger and the date of Stanger's opinion; o 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; -39- 50 o 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 price of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock to be used in the proposed merger transaction; and o 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., 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 ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ IT CAREFULLY IN ITS ENTIRETY. Qualifications and Method of Selection. Williamson is engaged solely in the business of petroleum evaluation and engineering studies for public and private oil and gas companies. Williamson is widely recognized in its field. Williamson is an independent consulting firm as provided in the Standards Pertaining to the Estimating and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information 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. -40- 51 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. 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 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 29 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 reserve value included in 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 reserve 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 -41- 52 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. 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: o preparing and disseminating information on properties to be offered; o soliciting attendance by prospective purchasers; and o 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. Although we believe the factors described above to be true, we are conducting a limited form of 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 52. -42- 53 Although we received some preliminary indications of interest from third parties during the last quarter of 1999, none of those third parties has ever made a formal bid for any partnership or its assets. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS This document includes "forward looking statements" as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These statements concern Pioneer Parent's, Pioneer USA's and each partnership's plans, expectations and objectives for future operations. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this document that address activities, events or developments that Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and each partnership expect, believe or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward looking statements and include the following: o completion of the proposed merger of each partnership; o reserve estimates; o future production of oil and gas; and o future financial performance. These forward looking statements are based on assumptions, which Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and each partnership believe are reasonable, but which are open to a wide range of uncertainties and business risks. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated are discussed in (1) "Risk Factors" beginning on page 17 of this document, (2) periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, for Pioneer Parent and each reporting partnership, and (3) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" for the year ended December 31, 2000 included in the supplement to this document for each nonreporting partnership. "Safe Harbor" Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: Statements in this document regarding each company's business which are not historical facts are "forward looking statements" that involve risks and uncertainties. For a discussion of these risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ from those contained in the forward looking statements, see "Risk Factors" beginning on page 17 of this document. -43- 54 METHOD OF DETERMINING MERGER VALUE FOR EACH PARTNERSHIP AND AMOUNT OF PIONEER PARENT COMMON STOCK OFFERED Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA 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 17 and "Interests of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and Their Directors and Officers" on page 63. 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. 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. 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: o 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. o 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 taken from the summary reserve report reviewed by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. as of March 31, 2001. 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 6 for the NYMEX futures prices. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA believe that the five-year 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. o 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 to be mailed on or about July 12, 2001, -44- 55 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. o 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 in July 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 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. Each nonparticipating partnership will pay a portion of the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers otherwise allocable to the partnership based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the percentage of the partnership's limited partnership interests that are voted in favor of the merger proposals and the denominator of which is the percentage of the partnership's limited partnership interests for which votes are cast. Pioneer Parent has agreed to pay (1) the remainder of the estimated expenses and fees otherwise allocable to such nonparticipating partnership, (2) any expenses and fees actually incurred in excess of $2.0 million, and (3) 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. -45- 56 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 18. 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 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 will be 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 19 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 6 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 current 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 current prices decline in the future, the merger value for each partnership would appear high by comparison. -46- 57 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 81-1, Ltd. Parker & Parsley Selected 85 Private Investment, Ltd. Parker & Parsley 81-II, Ltd. Parker & Parsley 86-A, Ltd. Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd. Parker & Parsley 86-B, Ltd. Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd.

Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-B, Ltd. Parker & Parsley Private Investment 85-A, 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 90-A Conv., L.P. Parker & Parsley 88-A, L.P. Parker & Parsley 90-A, L.P. Parker & Parsley 88-B Conv., L.P. Parker & Parsley 90-B Conv., L.P. Parker & Parsley 88-B, L.P.

In all cases, the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved by the limited partners of each partnership. In all cases, Pioneer USA has retained of Dallas, Texas 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 to 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. -47- 58 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 following discussion describes the material federal income tax consequences of a conversion of partnership interests into Pioneer Parent common stock pursuant to the merger of each participating partnership. 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. Except as otherwise indicated, statements of legal conclusion regarding tax treatments, tax effects or tax consequences are the opinions of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P, counsel for Pioneer Parent based 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. The following discussion is not exhaustive 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 discussion below describes 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. A copy of the tax opinion of Vinson & Elkins has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this document is a part. Vinson & Elkins' tax opinion is based, in part, on various assumptions of fact and certificates. The following discussion does 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. o 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. That net gain or loss may be comprised of 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. o 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: -48- 59 - 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. o 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 Section 1231 gains and losses along with the Section 1231 gains and losses you realize from other sources. o 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. You will be provided 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. o 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. o 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 -49- 60 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. o 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. o 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 capital gains and ordinary income. The maximum marginal federal income tax rate for ordinary income of individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers is currently 39.1%. 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. o 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 which is effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business of its assets pursuant to the merger of the partnership will be subject to federal income tax. 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 on a Schedule K-1 as required by tax law. The results of partnership operations for such period will impact your tax basis 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 indebtedness. If a limited partner's indebtedness to Pioneer USA is greater -50- 61 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 parallel 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: PARTNERSHIP NONMANAGING GENERAL PARTNER ----------- --------------------------- Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd. P&P Employees 81-I, Ltd. Parker & Parsley 81-II, Ltd. P&P Employees 81-II, Ltd. Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd. P&P Employees 82-I, Ltd. Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd. P&P Employees 82-II, Ltd. Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd. P&P Employees 82-III, Ltd. Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd. P&P Employees 83-A, Ltd. Parker & Parsley 83-B, Ltd. P&P Employees 83-B, Ltd. Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd. P&P Employees 84-A, Ltd. -51- 62 Pioneer USA is the sole general partner of each of the nonmanaging general partners. In that capacity, Pioneer USA has authority: o to cause the nonmanaging general partner to perform its obligations relating to the partnership described above; and o 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 $199,780, consisting of approximately 11,099 shares of Pioneer Parent common stock in the aggregate. 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. 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., 1400 Williams Square West, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 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 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: o registration of the partnership interests of the partnership under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and o 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 http://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. -52- 63 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 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. Each nonparticipating partnership will pay a portion of the aggregate estimated expenses and fees of the mergers otherwise allocable to such nonparticipating partnership based on a fraction, the numerator of which is the percentage of the partnership's limited partnership interests that are voted in favor of the merger proposals and the denominator of which is the percentage of the partnership's limited partnership interests for which votes are cast. Pioneer Parent has agreed to pay (1) the remainder of the estimated expenses and fees otherwise allocable to such nonparticipating partnership, (2) any expenses and fees actually incurred in excess of $2.0 million, and (3) 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. -53- 64 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 form 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: o to conduct its business only in the ordinary course consistent with past practice; and o 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. Reasonable Commercial Efforts. Each party has agreed to use all reasonable commercial efforts: o to obtain in a timely manner all necessary waivers, consents and approvals and to effect all necessary registrations and filings; and o 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. -54- 65 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: o due organization or formation, standing, corporate or partnership power and qualification; o absence of any conflict, breach, notice requirement or default under organizational documents and material agreements as a result of each contemplated merger; o authority to enter into and the validity and enforceability of the merger agreement; o absence of any material adverse change since March 31, 2001; and o accuracy of information. In addition, the merger agreement contains representations and warranties by: o each of the partnerships as to capitalization; o 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 fact or any omission to state a material fact necessary to make the statements in such reports not misleading; o each of Pioneer Parent and each partnership, that its financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis and fairly present its financial condition and results of operations; and o Pioneer USA as to its capacity as the managing or sole general partner of each partnership and as the sole general partner of each nonmanaging general partner. CONDITIONS TO THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP Conditions to the Obligations of Each Party. The obligations of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and each partnership to complete the merger of the partnership are dependent on the satisfaction of the following conditions: o the merger agreement shall have been approved by the requisite vote of the limited partners of the partnership entitled to vote at the partnership's special meeting; o Pioneer USA shall have received the fairness opinion from Stanger that, as of the date of that opinion, 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; o Pioneer USA shall have received the opinion of counsel to the limited partners of each 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; o the absence of any law, regulation, judgment, injunction, order or decree that would prohibit the consummation of any merger; o the absence of any pending suit, action or proceeding challenging the legality or any aspect of the merger of any partnership or the transactions related to the merger; o the authorization for listing on the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock Exchange upon official issuance of notice shall have been received for the shares of Pioneer Parent common stock to be issued upon the merger of each partnership; -55- 66 o all material filings and registrations with, and notifications to, third parties shall have been made and all material approvals and consents of third parties shall have been received; and o the absence of any opinion of counsel that the exercise by the limited partners of each partnership of the right to approve the merger of the partnership is not permitted by state law.

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: o by the mutual written consent of the parties; o 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 by a vote at the special meeting for the partnership or at any adjournment or postponement of the special meeting; or - any suit, action or proceeding is filed against Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA, any partnership or any officer, director or affiliate of Pioneer Parent or Pioneer USA challenging the legality or any aspect of the merger of any partnership or the transactions related to the merger; o by Pioneer Parent, if Pioneer USA or any partnership is in material breach of the merger agreement; o by Pioneer USA or any partnership as to that partnership's merger, if Pioneer Parent is in material breach of the merger agreement; o by Pioneer USA, if Pioneer USA's board of directors determines that termination of the merger agreement is required in order for the board to comply with its fiduciary duties; or o 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 (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 the oil and gas industry generally. If the merger agreement is validly terminated or the merger of any partnership is abandoned, none of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA nor any such partnership shall have any liabilities or obligations to the other parties based on the merger agreement or such merger except: -56- 67 o Pioneer Parent will pay all expenses and fees of each partnership in connection with the merger of that partnership incurred before the termination of the merger agreement or abandonment of the merger of the partnership; and o a party will be liable if that party is in breach of the merger agreement. AMENDMENTS; WAIVERS Any provision of the merger agreement may be amended prior to the effective time if the amendment is in writing and signed by Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA; provided, that after the approval of the merger proposals by the limited partners of each partnership, no amendment shall, without the further approval of the limited partners of each partnership: o adversely change the type or amount of, or the method of determining, the consideration to be received in exchange for any partnership interests in the partnership; or o materially and adversely affect the rights of the limited partners of the partnership, other than a termination of the merger agreement or abandonment of the merger of the partnership. Prior to the effective time, the parties may: o extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the parties; o waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties in the merger agreement or in a document delivered pursuant to the merger agreement; and o waive compliance with any agreement or condition in the merger agreement. Any such extension or waiver will be valid only if it is in writing and signed by the party against whom the extension or waiver is to be effective. -57- 68 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: o 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 of 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 to be mailed on or about July 12, 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. o 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. o 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. 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 46 of this document. 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. -58- 69 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 64 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 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: o giving written notice of revocation to Pioneer USA; o signing and returning a later dated proxy; or o 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. -59- 70 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. 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. The persons named as proxies intend to vote in favor of any motion to adjourn or postpone the special meeting of any partnership if, prior to the special meeting, they have not received sufficient proxies to approve the merger of the partnership as described in this document. 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 58. 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 -60- 71 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 the date on which this document is initially filed with the SEC 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: o has met all requirements of its governing instruments; and o 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. In any jurisdiction where securities laws require the proxy solicitations to be made by a licensed broker or dealer, the proxy solicitations are being made on behalf of Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA by , which is licensed under the laws of such jurisdiction. -61- 72 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 three months ended March 31, 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: o Pioneer Parent's financial condition; o earnings and funds from operations; o the level of Pioneer Parent's capital and exploration expenditures; o dividend restrictions in Pioneer Parent's financing agreements; o Pioneer Parent's future business prospects; and o 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 three months ended March 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. PIONEER PARENT COMMON --------------------- STOCK ----- MARKET PRICE ------------ HIGH LOW ------ ------ 2001 First quarter $20.24 $15.45 2000 Fourth quarter 20.63 12.44 Third quarter 16.06 10.63 Second quarter 15.63 9.00 First quarter 10.75 6.75 1999 Fourth quarter 11.50 7.63 Third quarter 12.81 9.38 Second quarter 13.19 7.06 First quarter 9.75 5.00 We urge the limited partners of each partnership to obtain current market quotations prior to making any decision with respect to the merger of the partnership. -62- 73 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: o 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; o Pioneer USA, as sole or managing general partner of each partnership, still has its fiduciary duty to the limited partners; and o 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 64. 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 annually based on a rate established by the Council of Petroleum Accountants Society, or COPAS, for the oil and gas industry. -63- 74 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 March 31, 2001, of the outstanding limited partnership interests for each partnership that are beneficially owned by Pioneer USA as a limited partner. As of March 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 82-1, Ltd. 10.73% 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: o beneficially owns any partnership interests of any partnership; or o 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, 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. 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 -64- 75 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. -65- 76 MANAGEMENT PIONEER PARENT The following information sets forth the age, business experience during the past five years, positions and offices with Pioneer Parent, and periods of service of each director and executive officer of Pioneer Parent.

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 $430 million of capital expenditures, a 26% increase over 2000 capital expenditures but 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. o 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. o 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 and plans a second well on the prospect later in 2001. o 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 with additional drilling planned this year. 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. o In the East Texas Bossier natural gas play, Pioneer Parent holds interests in over 130,000 acres and plans to drill or participate in over 35 wells during 2001. The play's strong initial natural gas flow rates are expected to provide significant new production growth. -69- 80 MORE INFORMATION A more complete description of Pioneer Parent and its business is found in the reports that Pioneer Parent files with the SEC.

Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., independent petroleum consultants, estimated each partnership's reserves as of December 31, 2000, and reviewed Pioneer Parent's and Pioneer USA's estimates of each partnership's reserves as of March 31, 2001 and the present value of the estimated future net revenues from those estimated reserves included in the summary reserve reports included in this document and such summary reserve reports and estimates and the review as of March 31, 2001, are included in this document in reliance upon their reports given upon their authority as experts on the matters covered by the summary reserve report and review. -80- 91 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. (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. -81- 92 PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY 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.

P-4 96 PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 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 March 31, 2001 has been prepared to give effect to the acquisition of the Combined Partnerships as if it had occurred on March 31, 2001. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2001, and the consolidated statements of operations of Pioneer Parent for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000. Combined Partnerships - Represents the combined balance sheets of the 46 limited partnerships as of March 31, 2001 and the combined statements of operations of such limited partnerships for the three months ended March 31, 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 $105.4 million in Pioneer common stock, representing 5,855,813 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 March 31, 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, accounts payable and partners' capital for the $7.1 million cash distribution that will be 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 three months ended March 31, 2001 and for the year ended December 31, 2000. P-5 97 PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2001 AND DECEMBER 31, 2000 (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 5,855,813 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 page P-3). Following is a reconciliation of the pro forma weighted average basic and diluted shares outstanding (in thousands): March 31, 2001 December 31, 2000 -------------- ----------------- Pioneer Parent weighted average basic common shares outstanding............................... 98,379 99,378 Shares offered attributable to the additional nonmanaging general partners' interests.......... 11 11 Shares offered attributable to the additional limited partners' interests...................... 5,845 5,845 --------- --------- Pro forma Pioneer Parent weighted average basic shares outstanding............................... 104,235 105,234 Effect of dilutive common stock options.......... 1,329 384 --------- --------- Pro forma Pioneer Parent weighted average diluted shares outstanding............................... 105,564 105,618 ========= ========= 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 three months ended March 31, 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 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). P-6 98 PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS MARCH 31, 2001 AND DECEMBER 31, 2000 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 B for the volumes and values attributable to the Combined Partnerships.

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-17 119 APPENDIX B TO PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS [TO BE PROVIDED BY AMENDMENT] B-1 120 APPENDIX C TO PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS SUMMARY RESERVE REPORT OF WILLIAMSON PETROLEUM CONSULTANTS, INC. FOR THE PARTNERSHIPS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2000 April 10, 2001 Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, Suite 1400 Irving, Texas 75039 Attention Board of Directors Gentlemen: Subject: Letter Report Including 46 Reports Prepared by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. for Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. to the Interests of 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 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. 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. C-1 121 Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. Board of Directors April 10, 2001 Page 2 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 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 Reserves(2) Proved 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 the economic criteria employed and existing operating conditions, i.e., prices and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices and costs include consideration of changes provided only by contractual arrangements but not on escalations based upon an estimate of future conditions. ---------- (1) For evaluations prepared for disclosure to the Securities and Exchange Commission, see SEC Accounting Rules. Commerce Clearing House, Inc. October 1981, Paragraph 290, Regulation 210.4-10, p. 329. (2) Any variations to these definitions will be clearly stated in the report. C-2 122 Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. Board of Directors April 10, 2001 Page 3 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(3), gilsonite, and other such sources. ---------- (3) According to Staff Accounting Bulletin 85, excluding certain coalbed methane gas. C-3 123 Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. Board of Directors April 10, 2001 Page 4 Proved Developed Reserves(4) Proved developed 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 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. ---------- (4) 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.

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. 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. C-5 125 Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. Board of Directors April 10, 2001 Page 6 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 C-6 126 Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. Board of Directors April 10, 2001 Page 7 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. Operating expenses were provided by Pioneer USA and represented, when 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 valorem taxes not deducted separately. Expenses for workovers, well stimulations, and other maintenance were not included in the operating expenses unless such work was 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. State production and county ad valorem taxes have been deducted at the published rates as provided by Pioneer USA. A 7.5 percent severance tax exemption was applied until September 2001 for qualifying wells. 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 C-7 127 Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. Board of Directors April 10, 2001 Page 8 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.

STANGER & CO., INC. (SUBJECT TO CHANGE) , 2001 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 (collectively, the Reserve Value and the Working Capital Balance are 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 D-1 136 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 initial meeting of the Limited Partners contemplated herein. 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 non-managing 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 non-managing 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: o Reviewed the Preliminary Proxy Statement/Prospectus; o 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; o Reviewed the financial statements and forms 10K and 10Q, as applicable, of the Partnerships for the years ended December 31, 1998, 1999 and 2000, and the three months ended March 31, 2001; o [Reviewed the Reserve Report for each Partnership reviewed by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. as of March 31, 2001;] D-2 137 o Reviewed the calculations prepared by Pioneer USA and Pioneer Parent of the Merger Value per $1,000 original investment in each Partnership; o Reviewed Pioneer USA's analysis of other alternatives to the Transaction including going concern value, liquidation value, royalty trust and production payment; o 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; o 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; o Reviewed the financial statements of Pioneer Parent for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 2000 and the three months ended March 31, 2001; o Reviewed pro forma financial data for Pioneer Parent assuming the completion of the transaction; o Reviewed recent secondary market trading activity for interests in the Partnerships, as available; o Reviewed recent trading activity in Pioneer Parent Shares; and o 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 Reserve Value and Working Capital Balance of each Partnership has been properly allocated between Pioneer USA, the other general partners, if any, and Limited Partners of each Partnership in accordance with the Partnership Agreement with respect to a liquidation of such Partnership. D-3 138 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) any estimates of costs to remediate environmental conditions included in the Reserve Analysis are based on detailed analyses and reflect the best currently available estimates and good faith judgments; (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 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 non-managing 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, other general partners 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 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 D-4 139 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 non-managing general partner of each applicable Partnership, from a financial point of view.

For each partnership, the merger proposals include the approval of: o 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; o the merger amendment for that partnership authorizing: -- the merger of the partnership with and into Pioneer USA, with Pioneer USA being the surviving entity; and -- the elimination of any restrictions on the merger otherwise contained in the partnership's partnership agreement; and o 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 Dallas, Texas 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.

Parker & Parsley 83-B, Ltd. and Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd., respectively. C. Pioneer USA is the sole general partner of each of the Nonmanaging General Partners and in such capacity has authority (i) to cause the Nonmanaging General Partner to perform its obligations under the partnership agreement of the respective Partnership; and (ii) to exercise on behalf of the Nonmanaging General Partner all of the rights and elections granted to such Nonmanaging General Partner by the respective Partnership. D. The board of directors of each of Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA has determined that it is in the best interests of Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA (in its individual capacity, as the sole or managing general partner of each Partnership and as the sole general partner of each Nonmanaging General Partner) to merge each Partnership with and into Pioneer USA and each such board of directors has approved the merger of each Partnership referred to below, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein. E. Pioneer USA intends to solicit the vote of the limited partners of each Partnership holding at least a majority (or with respect to Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P. (each, a "Super-Majority Partnership"), at least 66-2/3%) of the outstanding limited partnership interests of the Partnership to approve the merger of the Partnership. Subject to certain limitations, upon consummation of the merger of each Partnership, the partners, other than Pioneer USA, will have the right to receive a number of shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Pioneer Parent (the "Pioneer Parent Common Stock"). AGREEMENTS NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE 1 THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP 1.1 Merger of Each Partnership. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.4), each Partnership shall be merged with and into Pioneer USA, the separate existence of the Partnership shall cease, and Pioneer USA, as the surviving corporation, shall continue to exist by virtue of and shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware. F-2 148 1.2 Merger Value for Each Partnership; Pioneer Parent Common Stock Offered. (a) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the merger of each Partnership and without any action on the part of Pioneer USA or the other partners of the Partnership, each partnership interest outstanding immediately prior thereto shall be converted into the right to receive an amount of Pioneer Parent Common Stock allocated to the Partnership, which amount shall be determined in accordance with the merger value assigned to the Partnership pursuant to the procedures set forth herein and in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus (as defined in Section 4.3) and the procedures set forth in the Partnership's partnership agreement for allocating liquidation distributions as though the assets of the Partnership were sold for the merger value of the 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 and determined as 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 to be mailed on or about July 12, 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 of 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. (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. F-3 149 (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 of (a) the filing of this Merger Agreement or the certificate of merger with respect to the merger of the Partnership in compliance with Section 263 of the DGCL and, if applicable, Section 17-211 of the DRULPA with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and (b) if applicable, the filing of the certificate of merger with respect to the merger of the Partnership in compliance with Section 2.11 of the TRLPA with Secretary of State of the State of Texas. 1.5 Effect of Merger of Each Partnership. At the Effective Time of the merger of each Partnership, Pioneer USA, without further action, as provided by 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, F-4 150 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. 1.6 Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws. The certificate of incorporation of Pioneer USA before the merger of each Partnership shall be and remain the certificate of incorporation of Pioneer USA after the Effective Time, 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 USA as in effect at the Effective Time shall be and remain the bylaws of Pioneer USA, as the surviving corporation, until the same shall thereafter be altered, amended, or repealed in accordance with law, Pioneer USA's certificate of incorporation or such bylaws. 1.7 Pioneer USA Common Stock.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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. -2- 163 PARKER & PARSLEY 81-I, LTD.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 15% to $108,191 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $94,181 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decline in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 2,157 barrels of oil, 770 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 5,562 mcf of gas were sold, or 3,854 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 2,402 barrels of oil, 1,217 barrels of NGLs and 6,102 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,636 BOEs. 6 169 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.39, or 5%, from $27.16 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.55 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.13, or 15%, from $14.58 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $16.71 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 232% from $1.83 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6.07 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 three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $51,712 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $45,205 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $6,507, or 14%. This increase was primarily due to increases in production costs, general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion. Production costs were $44,964 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $40,666 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $4,298 increase, or 11%. The 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 66% from $2,921 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $4,857 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $1,891 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $1,618 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $273, or 17%. This increase was primarily due to a downward revision to one well's proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001, offset by a decline in oil production of 245 barrels for the period ended March 31, 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 $24,090 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $14,166 and a reduction in working capital of $16,158, offset by increases in production costs of $4,298 and G&A expenses of $1,936. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an 7 170 additional $444 to oil and gas receipts and $13,722 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $41,860, of which $10,466 was distributed to the general partners and $31,394 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" 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. 8 171 PARKER & PARSLEY 81-I, LTD.

(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. 7 178 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 8 179 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.

EMPL is a limited partnership in which Pioneer USA owns 60% and the remaining portion is owned by former affiliates. The costs and revenues of the Partnership are allocated as follows: General Limited partners partners -------- -------- Revenues: Proceeds from property dispositions prior to cost recovery 10% 90% All other Partnership revenues 25% 75% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs and all other costs 10% 90% Operating costs, direct costs and general and administrative expenses 25% 75% 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. 10 181 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 131,090 275,544 Revisions (70,930) (119,307) Production (13,937) (24,638) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 46,223 131,599 Revisions 160,567 219,656 Production (14,970) (28,708) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 191,820 322,547 Revisions 33,336 130,129 Production (13,976) (25,901) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 211,180 426,775 ======== ======== 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. 11 182 For the years ended December 31, --------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 7,853 $ 4,776 $ 583 Future production costs (4,105) (3,078) (433) ------------- ------------ ------------- 3,748 1,698 150 10% annual discount factor (1,833) (734) (64) ------------- ------------ ------------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 1,915 $ 964 $ 86 ============== ============= ============== For the years ended December 31, --------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $ (242) $ (95) $ (42) Net changes in prices and production costs 888 180 (301) Revisions of previous quantity estimates 415 788 (112) Accretion of discount 96 8 52 Changes in production rates, timing and other (206) (3) (33) ------------- ------------ ------------ Change in present value of future net revenues 951 878 (436) ------------- ------------ ------------ Balance, beginning of year 964 86 522 ------------- ------------ ------------ Balance, end of year $ 1,915 $ 964 $ 86 ============== ============= ============= NOTE 8.

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. 12 183 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. 13 184 PARKER & PARSLEY 81-I, LTD. (A TEXAS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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. 185 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. 186 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. 187 PARKER & PARSLEY 81-I, LTD.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 54% to $108,066 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $70,001 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received and an increase in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 2,169 barrels of oil, 535 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 5,731 mcf of gas were sold, or 3,659 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 2,052 barrels of oil, 685 barrels of NGLs and 1,489 mcf of gas were sold, or 2,985 BOEs. 6 196 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.52, or 2%, from $27.34 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $27.86 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.36, or 19%, from $17.54 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $20.90 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 405% from $1.26 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6.36 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $65,952 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $62,476 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $3,476, or 6%. 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 $50,840 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $48,539 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $2,301 increase, or 5%. The increase was primarily due to higher production taxes of associated with higher oil and gas prices. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 103% from $2,190 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $4,448 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $10,664 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $11,747 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $1,083, or 9%. This decrease was primarily due to a positive revision to proved reserves on one well during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $54,285 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $38,350 and a reduction in working capital of $20,494, offset by increases in production costs of $2,301 and G&A expenses of $2,258. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $11,234 to oil and gas receipts and $27,116 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 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 7 197 (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $16,316, of which $3,363 was distributed to the general partners and $12,953 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) 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 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. 7 205 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 8 206 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. 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: 2000 1999 1998 --------- -------- --------- Net income (loss) per statements of operations $ 140,560 $ 6,232 $ (96,589) Depletion and depreciation provisions for tax reporting purposes less than amounts for financial reporting purposes 41,011 44,867 91,653 Impairment of oil and gas properties for financial reporting purposes - - 30,131 Other, net (482) (178) 454 --------- -------- --------- Net income per Federal income tax returns $181,089 $ 50,921 $ 25,649 ========= ======== ========= NOTE 5.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Pursuant to the limited partnership agreement, the Partnership had the following related party transactions with the managing general partner during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Payment of lease operating and supervision charges in accordance with standard industry operating agreements $ 75,129 $ 61,684 $ 82,817 Reimbursement of general and administrative expenses $ 11,615 $ 6,142 $ 6,273 Pioneer USA, EMPL and the Partnership are parties to the Partnership agreement. EMPL is a limited partnership in which Pioneer USA owns 80% and the remaining portion is owned by former affiliates. The costs and revenues of the Partnership are allocated as follows: General Limited partners partners -------- -------- Revenues: Proceeds from property dispositions prior to cost recovery 10% 90% All other Partnership revenues 25% 75% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs and all other costs 10% 90% Operating costs, direct costs and general and administrative expenses 25% 75% 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. 10 208 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ------------ Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 203,263 321,961 Revisions (93,478) (131,045) Production (16,033) (22,439) --------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 93,752 168,477 Revisions 118,281 224,790 Production (13,232) (19,167) --------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 198,801 374,100 Revisions 18,015 (61,237) Production (13,921) (15,864) --------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 202,895 296,999 ========= ========== 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. 11 209 For the years ended December 31, -------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 --------- ---------- --------- (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 6,624 $ 4,915 $ 1,020 Future production costs (3,988) (3,116) (849) -------- --------- -------- 2,636 1,799 171 10% annual discount factor (1,220) (799) (47) -------- --------- -------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 1,416 $ 1,000 $ 124 ======== ========= ======== For the years ended December 31, -------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 --------- ---------- --------- (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $ (197) $ (64) $ (35) Net changes in prices and production costs 530 471 (544) Revisions of previous quantity estimates 45 781 (94) Accretion of discount 100 12 76 Changes in production rates, timing and other (62) (324) (40) -------- --------- -------- Change in present value of future net revenues 416 876 (637) -------- --------- -------- Balance, beginning of year 1,000 124 761 ------ ------- ------ Balance, end of year $ 1,416 $ 1,000 $ 124 ======= ======== ======= NOTE 8.

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. 12 210 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. 13 211 PARKER & PARSLEY 81-II, LTD. (A TEXAS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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. 212 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. 213 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. 214 PARKER & PARSLEY 81-II, LTD.

The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 26% to $216,836 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $172,087 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 4,462 barrels of oil, 856 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 13,274 mcf of 7 224 gas were sold, or 7,530 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 4,433 barrels of oil, 1,810 barrels of NGLs and 12,235 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,282 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.79, or 3%, from $27.23 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.02 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $7.01, or 55%, from $12.67 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $19.68 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 143%, from $2.33 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.65 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $112,030 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $99,443 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $12,587, or 13%. 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 $97,986 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $85,023 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $12,963 increase, or 15%. 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 52% from $5,363 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $8,176 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $5,868 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $9,057 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $3,189, or 35%. This decrease was primarily due to positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $54,554 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was due to an increase of $45,005 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction of $25,325 in working capital, offset by increases in production costs of $12,963 and G&A expenses of $2,813. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional 8 225 $57,097 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $12,092 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $61,903, of which $15,492 was distributed to the general partners and $46,411 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Item 2.

ACCORDINGLY, NO ASSURANCES CAN BE GIVEN THAT THE ACTUAL EVENTS AND RESULTS WILL NOT BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. SEE "ITEM 1. BUSINESS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO ACHIEVE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. 228 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. 2 229 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. 3 230 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 6.

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. 5 232 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 6 233 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. 7 234 ITEM 8.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) 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. 14 241 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. 15 242 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $663,714 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: 2000 1999 1998 --------- --------- --------- Net income (loss) per statements of operations $ 337,729 $ 17,320 $(563,993) Depletion and depreciation provisions for tax reporting purposes less than amounts for financial reporting purposes 21,746 92,542 312,201 Impairment of oil and gas properties for financial reporting purposes -- -- 294,610 Loss on disposition of assets -- -- (116) Other, net (637) 77 786 --------- --------- --------- Net income per Federal income tax returns $ 358,838 $ 109,939 $ 43,488 ========= ========= ========= NOTE 5.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Pursuant to the limited partnership agreement, the Partnership had the following related 16 243 party transactions with the managing general partner during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Payment of lease operating and supervision charges in accordance with standard industry operating agreements $162,023 $156,380 $150,391 Reimbursement of general and administrative expenses $ 22,916 $ 13,260 $ 11,786 Pioneer USA, EMPL and the Partnership are parties to the Partnership agreement. EMPL is a limited partnership in which Pioneer USA owns 77.5% and the remaining portion is owned by former affiliates. In addition, Pioneer USA owned 634 limited partner interests at January 1, 2001. The costs and revenues of the Partnership are allocated as follows: General Limited partners partners -------- -------- Revenues: Proceeds from property dispositions prior to cost recovery 10% 90% All other Partnership revenues 25% 75% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs 10% 90% Operating costs, direct costs and general and administrative expenses 25% 75% 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. Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ -------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 321,477 448,047 Revisions (230,755) (305,609) Production (25,898) (48,971) -------- -------- 17 244 Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 64,824 93,467 Revisions 280,613 443,568 Production (23,886) (48,380) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 321,551 488,655 Revisions 60,464 362,471 Production (24,158) (45,981) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 357,857 805,145 ======== ======== 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.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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.

(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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 28% to $211,680 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $165,410 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 4,246 barrels of oil, 1,372 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 11,592 mcf of gas were sold, or 7,550 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months 7 264 ended March 31, 2000, 4,439 barrels of oil, 2,044 barrels of NGLs and 9,151 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,008 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.85, or 3%, from $27.27 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.12 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $6.36, or 48%, from $13.18 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $19.54 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 197% from $1.90 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.65 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $123,630 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $92,152 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $31,478, or 34%. 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 $104,940 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $74,818 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $30,122 increase, or 40%. The increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production and higher production taxes due to increased oil and gas revenues. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 54% from $5,159 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $7,929 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $10,761 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $12,175 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $1,414, or 12%. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in oil production of 193 barrels for the three months ended March 31, 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 $22,238 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was due to an increase of $46,406 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction of $8,724 in working capital, offset by increases in production costs of $30,122 and G&A expenses of $2,770. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from 8 265 the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $51,185 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $4,779 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 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's principal investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were related to the upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $81,280, of which $20,320 was distributed to the general partners and $60,960 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Item 2.

Business" for a description of various factors that could materially affect the ability of the Partnership to achieve the anticipated results described in the forward looking statements. 269 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 2 270 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. 3 271 PART II 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 6.

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 5 273 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 6 274 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. 7 275 ITEM 8.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) 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. 14 282 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 15 283 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.

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. 17 285 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ -------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 376,355 512,848 Revisions (163,438) (164,998) Production (27,854) (41,862) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 185,063 305,988 Revisions 288,622 425,997 Production (27,554) (42,858) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 446,131 689,127 Revisions (13,008) (29,574) Production (24,922) (35,900) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 408,201 623,653 ======== ======== 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. 18 286 For the years ended December 31, ---------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 14,233 $ 11,083 $ 2,024 Future production costs (7,728) (6,439) (1,464) -------- -------- -------- 6,505 4,644 560 10% annual discount factor (3,283) (2,235) (228) -------- -------- -------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 3,222 $ 2,409 $ 332 ======== ======== ======== For the years ended December 31, --------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ------- ------- ------- (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $ (414) $ (197) $ (106) Net changes in prices and production costs 1,300 807 (871) Revisions of previous quantity estimates (118) 1,768 (241) Accretion of discount 240 33 147 Changes in production rates, timing and other (195) (334) (72) ------- ------- ------- Change in present value of future net revenues 813 2,077 (1,143) ------- ------- ------- Balance, beginning of year 2,409 332 1,475 ------- ------- ------- Balance, end of year $ 3,222 $ 2,409 $ 332 ======= ======= ======= NOTE 8.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses.

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.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 engages in oil and gas development and production in Texas and is not involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. Note 2. Basis of presentation In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements of the Partnership as of March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 4% to $141,285 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $136,330 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decline in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 3,578 barrels of oil, 622 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 5,196 mcf of gas were sold, or 5,066 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 3,738 barrels of oil, 1,877 barrels of NGLs and 6,304 mcf of gas were sold, or 6,666 BOEs. 6 304 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.94, or 3%, from $27.64 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.58 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.69, or 38%, from $12.20 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $16.89 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 243% from $1.60 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.49 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $74,153 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $62,606 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $11,547, or 18%. 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 $62,799 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $52,005 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $10,794 increase, or 21%. The increase was 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 32% from $4,182 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5,510 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $5,844 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $6,419 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $575, or 9%. This decrease was primarily due to positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices and a decline in oil production of 160 barrels for the three months ended March 31, 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 $15,328 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to a reduction in working capital of $22,407 and an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $5,043, offset by increases in production costs of $10,794 and G&A expenses of $1,328. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an 7 305 additional $36,894 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $31,851 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. 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $68,363, of which $16,801 was distributed to the general partners and $51,562 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" 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. 8 306 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. 7 313 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 8 314 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. 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: 2000 1999 1998 -------- ------- ------- Net income (loss) per statements of operations $ 302,230 $ 84,955 $ (485,018) Depletion and depreciation provisions for tax reporting purposes less than amounts for financial reporting purposes 18,732 42,255 245,110 Impairment of oil and gas properties for financial reporting purposes - - 277,671 Other, net (570) (1,597) 787 -------- ------- -------- Net income per Federal income tax returns $ 320,392 $ 125,613 $ 38,550 ======== ======= ======== NOTE 5.

EMPL is a limited partnership in which Pioneer USA owns 81% and the remaining portion is owned by former affiliates. Pioneer USA owned 205.34 limited partner interests at January 1, 2001. The costs and revenues of the Partnership are allocated as follows: General Limited partners partners -------- -------- Revenues: Proceeds from property dispositions prior to cost recovery 10% 90% All other Partnership revenues 25% 75% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs 10% 90% Operating costs, direct costs and general and administrative expenses 25% 75% 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. 10 316 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ------------ Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 290,644 256,851 Revisions (204,881) Production (19,540) (17,680) --------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 66,223 74,429 Revisions 243,433 312,763 Production (20,801) (23,061) --------- ------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 288,855 364,131 Revisions 42,883 (44,362) Production (20,646) (21,480) --------- ------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 311,092 298,289 ========= ======== 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. 11 317 For the years ended December 31, -------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ------ ------- ------ (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 9,373 $ 7,135 $ 709 Future production costs (5,485) (4,540) (606) ------ ------- ------ 3,888 2,595 103 10% annual discount factor (1,835) (1,113) (26) ------ ------- ------ Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 2,053 $ 1,482 $ 77 ====== ======= ====== For the years ended December 31, -------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ------ ------- ------ (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs$ (340) $ (141) $ (51) Net changes in prices and production costs 711 355 (718) Revisions of previous quantity estimates 219 1,650 (182) Accretion of discount 148 8 102 Changes in production rates, timing and other (167) (467) (96) Change in present value of future net revenues 571 1,405 (945) Balance, beginning of year 1,482 77 1,022 ------ ------- ------ Balance, end of year $ 2,053 $ 1,482 $ 77 ======= ======== ======= NOTE 8. MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 60% 56% - TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC 14% 15% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 77% At December 31, 2000, the amounts receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P. and TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC were $31,458 and $4,158, 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: 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 12 318 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. 13 319 PARKER & PARSLEY 82-III, LTD. (A TEXAS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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. 320 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. 321 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. 322 PARKER & PARSLEY 82-III, LTD.

The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 22% to $507,768 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $417,066 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 10,168 barrels of oil, 3,676 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 25,707 mcf of gas were sold, or 18,129 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 10,838 barrels of oil, 5,586 barrels of NGLs and 22,988 mcf of gas were sold, or 20,255 BOEs. 7 332 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.61, or 2%, from $27.44 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.05 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.89, or 34%, from $14.18 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $19.07 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 237% from $1.76 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.93 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $271,418 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $250,840 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $20,578, or 8%. 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 $232,146 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $216,331 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $15,815 increase, or 7%. 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 45% from $12,903 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18,723 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $20,549 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $21,606 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $1,057, or 5%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in oil production of 670 barrels for the period ended March 31, 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 $107,906 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was due to an increase of $91,586 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction in working capital of $37,955, offset by increases in production costs of $15,815 and G&A expenses of $5,820. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $130,676 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $39,090 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 8 333 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were related to expenditures for equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 same period ended March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $188,420, of which $47,594 was distributed to the general partners and $140,826 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ------------ (1) "Item 2.

ACCORDINGLY, NO ASSURANCES CAN BE GIVEN THAT THE ACTUAL EVENTS AND RESULTS WILL NOT BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. SEE "ITEM 1. BUSINESS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO ACHIEVE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. 336 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 2 337 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. 3 338 PART II 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 6.

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. 5 340 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. 6 341 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. 7 342 ITEM 8.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) 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. 14 349 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 15 350 $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. 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: 2000 1999 1998 --------- --------- --------- Net income (loss) per statements of operations $ 929,165 $ 229,546 $(784,583) Depletion and depreciation provisions for tax reporting purposes less than amounts for financial reporting purposes 72,648 144,177 510,610 Impairment of oil and gas properties for financial reporting purposes - - 430,351 Other, net (2,243) (235) 891 --------- --------- --------- Net income per Federal income tax returns $ 999,570 $ 373,488 $ 157,269 ========= ========= ========= NOTE 5.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Pursuant to the limited partnership agreement, the Partnership had the following related party transactions with the managing general partner during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 --------- --------- --------- Payment of lease operating and supervision charges in accordance with standard industry operating agreements $ 407,783 $ 397,884 $ 370,984 Reimbursement of general and administrative expenses $ 57,891 $ 35,297 $ 27,308 Pioneer USA, EMPL and the Partnership are parties to the partnership agreement. EMPL is a limited partnership in which Pioneer USA owns 79% and the remaining portion is owned by former affiliates. In addition, Pioneer USA owned 676 limited partner interests at January 1, 2001. The costs and revenues of the Partnership are allocated as follows: General Limited partners partners -------- -------- Revenues: Proceeds from property dispositions prior to cost recovery 10% 90% All other Partnership revenues 25% 75% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs 10% 90% Operating costs, direct costs and general and administrative expenses 25% 75% Incremental direct expenses - 100% Incremental direct expenses are direct expenses which would not be incurred except for the requirements of the securities regulatory authorities. Such expenses totaled $7,833, $12,006 and $5,692 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 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. Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ---------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 765,491 1,179,867 Revisions (361,806) (528,746) Production (67,612) (95,156) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 336,073 555,965 Revisions 714,690 1,245,944 Production (69,238) (109,716) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 981,525 1,692,193 Revisions 124,418 (56,128) Production (66,679) (94,612) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 1,039,264 1,541,453 ========== ========== 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 17 352 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.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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. -2- 365 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) Note 1. Organization and nature of organization Parker & Parsley 83-B, 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 3% to $567,450 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $550,469 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 10,605 barrels of oil, 5,172 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 29,602 mcf of gas were sold, or 20,711 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 13,733 barrels of oil, 8,049 barrels of NGLs and 35,379 mcf of gas were sold, or 27,679 BOEs. 7 372 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.73, or 3%, from $27.66 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.39 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $5.18, or 38%, from $13.48 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.66 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 226% from $1.76 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.74 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 three months ended March 31, 2001. A gain on disposition of assets of $3,923 during 2000 was recognized from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $323,442 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $279,699 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $43,743, or 16%. 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 $278,432 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $232,950 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $45,482 increase, or 20%. The increase was primarily due to additional workover 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 22% from $16,889 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $20,536 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $24,474 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $29,860 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $5,386, or 18%. 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 3,128 barrels for the three months ended March 31, 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 $50,812 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was due 8 373 to an increase of $17,327 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction in working capital of $82,614, offset by increases in production costs of $45,482 and G&A expenses of $3,647. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $192,976 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $175,649 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 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities: The Partnership's investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were for expenditures related to oil and gas equipment upgrades on active properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $3,923 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2000 were from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities: For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $272,131, of which $68,700 was distributed to the general partners and $203,431 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

The following documents are incorporated by reference into the indicated parts of this Annual Report on Form 10-K: None PARTS I AND II OF THIS ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K (THE "REPORT") CONTAIN FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT INVOLVE RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES. ACCORDINGLY, NO ASSURANCES CAN BE GIVEN THAT THE ACTUAL EVENTS AND RESULTS WILL NOT BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. SEE "ITEM 1. BUSINESS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO ACHIEVE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. 377 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 2 378 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. 3 379 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 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 $942,688 and $325,903, respectively, were made to the limited partners. ITEM 6.

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. 5 381 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 6 382 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. 7 383 ITEM 8.

(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 14 390 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, 15 391 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.

EMPL is a limited partnership in which Pioneer USA owns 79% and the remaining portion is owned by former affiliates. In addition, Pioneer USA owned 877 limited partner interests at January 1, 2001. The costs and revenues of the Partnership are allocated as follows: General Limited partners partners -------- -------- Revenues: Proceeds from property dispositions prior to cost recovery 10% 90% All other Partnership revenues 25% 75% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs 10% 90% Operating costs, direct costs and general and administrative expenses 25% 75% Incremental direct expenses - 100% Incremental direct expenses are direct expenses which would not be incurred except for the requirements of the securities regulatory authorities and totaled $8,342, $12,553 and $5,471 in 2000, 1999 and 1998, respectively. 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. 17 393 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ---------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 1,215,076 1,717,779 Revisions (498,218) (464,099) Production (93,695) (147,495) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 623,163 1,106,185 Revisions 738,384 1,321,692 Production (89,446) (157,842) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 1,272,101 2,270,035 Revisions 82,614 (66,662) Production (81,814) (132,106) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 1,272,901 2,071,267 ========== ========== 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. 18 394 For the years ended December 31, ------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 43,776 $ 31,312 $ 6,816 Future production costs (24,959) (18,234) (5,169) -------- -------- -------- 18,817 13,078 1,647 10% annual discount factor (9,262) (6,181) (544) -------- -------- -------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 9,555 $ 6,897 $ 1,103 ======== ======== ======== For the years ended December 31, --------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ------- ------- ------- (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $(1,429) $ (669) $ (289) Net changes in prices and production costs 3,342 3,109 (3,208) Revisions of previous quantity estimates 439 5,091 (627) Accretion of discount 690 110 489 Changes in production rates, timing and other (384) (1,847) (147) ------- ------- ------- Change in present value of future net revenues 2,658 5,794 (3,782) ------- ------- ------- Balance, beginning of year 6,897 1,103 4,885 ------- ------- ------- Balance, end of year $ 9,555 $ 6,897 $ 1,103 ======= ======= ======= NOTE 8.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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. -2- 406 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 19% to $634,643 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $533,060 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decline in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 13,629 barrels of oil, 6,391 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 33,550 mcf of gas were sold, or 25,612 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 13,571 barrels of oil, 8,220 barrels of NGLs and 35,071 mcf of gas were sold, or 27,636 BOEs. 7 413 The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.45, or 2%, from $27.61 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $27.16 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.50, or 28%, from $12.70 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $16.20 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 212% from $1.54 during the three months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $299,117 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $267,615 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $31,502, or 12%. 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 $248,790 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $219,634 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $29,156 increase, or 13%. 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 55% from $14,335 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $22,219 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $28,108 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $33,646 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $5,538, or 16%. This decrease was the result of positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $63,503 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was due to an increase of $102,540 in oil and gas sales receipts, offset by increases in production costs of $29,156, G&A expenses of $7,884 and working capital of $1,997. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $137,887 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $35,347 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 8 414 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's principal investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were for expenditures related to oil and gas equipment upgrades on active properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $215,712, of which $54,767 was distributed to the general partners and $160,945 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" 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. SEE "ITEM 1. BUSINESS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO ACHIEVE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. 2 417 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 2 418 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. 3 419 PART II 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 6.

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. 5 421 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. 6 422 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. 7 423 ITEM 8.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 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'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 14 430 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. 15 431 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $383,897 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. 17 433 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ---------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 1,053,041 1,516,688 Revisions (400,628) (306,319) Production (88,702) (145,870) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 563,711 1,064,499 Revisions 789,038 1,498,169 Production (85,868) (154,235) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 1,266,881 2,408,433 Revisions 168,380 (31,965) Production (85,485) (138,617) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 1,349,776 2,237,851 ========== ========== 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. 18 434 For the years ended December 31, -------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 45,297 $ 30,875 $ 6,111 Future production costs (24,465) (18,195) (4,514) -------- -------- -------- 20,832 12,680 1,597 10% annual discount factor (10,596) (6,020) (598) -------- -------- -------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 10,236 $ 6,660 $ 999 ======== ======== ======== For the years ended December 31, -------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $ (1,411) $ (560) $ (259) Net changes in prices and production costs 3,988 2,450 (2,438) Revisions of previous quantity estimates 1,037 4,939 (555) Accretion of discount 666 100 406 Changes in production rates, timing and other (704) (1,268) (211) -------- -------- -------- Change in present value of future net revenues 3,576 5,661 (3,057) -------- -------- -------- Balance, beginning of year 6,660 999 4,056 -------- -------- -------- Balance, end of year $ 10,236 $ 6,660 $ 999 ======== ======== ======== NOTE 8. MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 35% 33% - TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC 17% 18% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 53% NGTS LLC 10% 7% - Western Gas Resources, Inc. 3% 7% 29% At December 31, 2000, the amounts receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P., TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC and NGTS LLC were $43,117, $76,863 and $693, 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.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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. -2- 446 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.

(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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 22% to $216,806 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 to $178,428 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 4,034 barrels of oil, 2,018 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 12,365 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,113 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 4,451 barrels of oil, 2,984 barrels of NGLs and 11,812 mcf of gas were sold, or 9,404 BOEs. 7 453 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.89, or 3%, from $27.40 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.29 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $5.52, or 45%, from $12.16 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $17.68 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 217% from $1.71 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.42 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $100,263 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $105,891 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $5,628, or 5%. This decrease was due to decreases in production costs and depletion, offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $85,302 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $91,946 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $6,644, or 7%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in well maintenance costs, offset by 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 22% from $5,353 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6,504 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $8,457 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $8,592 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $135, or 2%. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in oil production of 417 barrels for the period ended March 31, 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 $45,077 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $38,666 in oil and gas sales receipts and reductions in production costs of $6,644 and working capital of $918, offset by an increase in G&A expenses of $1,151. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $64,539 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $25,873 resulting from the decline in production during 2001. The decrease in production costs was primarily due to a decline in well maintenance costs, offset by increased production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices. The increase in G&A was primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. 8 454 Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were related to equipment upgrades on active properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were $133,032, of which $1,330 was distributed to the managing general partner and $131,702 to the limited partners. For the same period ended March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $68,884, of which $689 was distributed to the managing general partner and $68,195 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

BUSINESS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO ACHIEVE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. 457 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 2 458 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. 3 459 PART II 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 6.

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 5 461 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 6 462 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. 7 463 ITEM 8.

(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. 14 470 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. NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES 15 471 The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $500,887 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: 2000 1999 1998 --------- --------- --------- Net income (loss) per statements of operations $ 379,203 $ 178,927 $(274,769) Depletion and depreciation provisions for tax reporting purposes less than amounts for financial reporting purposes 26,488 45,239 307,564 Impairment of oil and gas properties for financial reporting purposes - - 22,031 Other, net (713) (817) 1,515 ------- ------- ------- Net income per Federal income tax returns $ 404,978 $ 223,349 $ 56,341 ======== ======== ======== NOTE 5.

In addition, Pioneer USA and the Partnership are parties to the Program agreement. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnership as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnership ---------------- ------------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable properties 9.09091% 90.90909% All other revenues 24.242425% 75.757575% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs 9.09091% 90.90909% Operating costs, direct costs and general and administrative expenses 24.242425% 75.757575% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level and 187 limited partner interests owned by Pioneer USA. 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. 17 473 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ---------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 318,665 423,423 Revisions (154,837) (135,041) Production (27,808) (43,021) ----------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 136,020 245,361 Revisions 304,597 520,701 Production (31,246) (55,226) ----------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 409,371 710,836 Revisions 430 (151,364) Production (27,458) (41,549) ----------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 382,343 517,923 =========== ========== 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. 18 474 For the years ended December 31, -------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 12,368 $ 10,131 $ 1,487 Future production costs (7,120) (6,033) (1,155) -------- -------- -------- 5,248 4,098 332 10% annual discount factor (2,436) (1,879) (102) -------- -------- -------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 2,812 $ 2,219 $ 230 ======== ======== ======== For the years ended December 31, ------------------------------------ 2000 1999 1998 -------- --------- -------- (in, thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $ (426) $ (242) $ (67) Net changes in prices and production costs 1,007 705 (709) Revisions of previous quantity estimates (150) 2,101 (195) Accretion of discount 222 22 114 Changes in production rates, timing and other (60) (597) (52) -------- --------- -------- Change in present value of future net revenues 593 1,989 (909) -------- --------- -------- Balance, beginning of year 2,219 230 1,139 -------- --------- -------- Balance, end of year $ 2,812 $ 2,219 $ 230 ========= ========== ========= NOTE 8. MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 57% 49% - NGTS LLC 9% 10% 3% Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 60% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 3% 7% 19% At December 31, 2000, the amount receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P. was $36,131, 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 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 19 475 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 $9,613,000. 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.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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. -2- 486 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.

(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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 32% to $179,094 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $135,322 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received and an increase in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 3,660 barrels of oil, 1,334 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 8,365 mcf of gas were sold, or 6,388 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 3,488 barrels of oil, 1,505 barrels of NGLs and 7,429 mcf of gas were sold, or 6,231 BOEs. 7 493 The average price received per barrel of oil increased slightly from $28.65 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.85 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.53, or 31%, from $14.41 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.94 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 214% from $1.84 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.77 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 three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $81,169 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $75,290 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $5,879, or 8%. This increase was primarily due to increases in production costs, general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion. Production costs were $61,176 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $57,367 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $3,809, or 7%. 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 32% from $4,060 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5,373 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $14,620 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $13,863 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $757, or 5%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in oil production of 172 barrels for the period ended March 31, 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 $32,341 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was due to an increase of $44,067 in oil and gas sales receipts, offset by increases in production costs of $3,809, G&A expenses of $1,313 and working capital of $6,604. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $36,947 to oil and gas receipts and $7,120 resulting from the increase in production during 2001. 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. 8 494 Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2000 were related to equipment upgrades on active properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $64,107, of which $641 was distributed to the managing general partner and $63,466 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" 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. Part II.

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 2 498 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. 3 499 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. ITEM 6.

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 $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. 5 501 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 6 502 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. 7 503 ITEM 8.

PARKER & PARSLEY 85-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 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. 14 510 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. 15 511 NOTE 4.

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. 17 513 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------- ------------ Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 333,208 531,982 Revisions (139,875) (179,491) Production (24,803) (41,501) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 168,530 310,990 Revisions 177,510 247,011 Production (21,410) (33,467) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 324,630 524,534 Revisions 634 (33,966) Production (20,809) (30,909) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 304,455 459,659 ======== ======== 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. 18 514 For the years ended December 31, ------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ----------- --------- ---------- (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 10,394 $ 8,008 $ 1,850 Future production costs (5,858) (4,882) (1,499) -------- -------- -------- 4,536 3,126 351 10% annual discount factor (2,204) (1,410) (95) -------- -------- -------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 2,332 $ 1,716 $ 256 ======== ======== ======== For the years ended December 31, ------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 -------- --------- -------- (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $ (355) $ (180) $ (72) Net changes in prices and production costs 1,003 954 (923) Revisions of previous quantity estimates (33) 1,209 (154) Accretion of discount 172 25 133 Changes in production rates, timing and other (171) (548) (54) -------- --------- -------- Change in present value of future net revenues 616 1,460 (1,070) -------- --------- -------- Balance, beginning of year 1,716 256 1,326 -------- --------- -------- Balance, end of year $ 2,332 $ 1,716 $ 256 ========= ========== ========= NOTE 8. MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Mobil Oil Corporation 48% 51% 45% Plains Marketing, L.P. 20% 16% - NGTS LLC 10% 7% 1% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 4% 6% 29% Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 18% At December 31, 2000, the amounts receivable from Mobil Oil Corporation, Plains Marketing, L.P. and NGTS LLC were $23,621, $7,883 and $1,228, 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.

(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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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. -2- 526 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 85-A, LTD.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 engages in oil and gas development and production in Texas and is not involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. Note 2. Basis of presentation In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements of the Partnership as of March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 4% to $123,326 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $118,048 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 2,835 barrels of oil, 1,012 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 4,506 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,598 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 3,392 barrels of oil, 1,300 barrels of NGLs and 5,061 mcf of gas were sold, or 5,536 BOEs. 6 532 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.37, or 5%, from $27.36 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.73 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.99, or 30%, from $13.27 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $17.26 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 243% from $1.58 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.42 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. A gain on disposition of assets of $23,661 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2000 due to equipment credits received on two wells plugged and abandoned during 2000. Abandoned property costs of $6,855 incurred during the three months ended March 31, 2000 were related to the abandonment of these two wells. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $49,089 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $58,945 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $9,856, or 17%. This decrease was due to declines in abandoned property costs, depletion and production costs, offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $38,813 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $38,872 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $59 decrease. The decrease was due to lower well maintenance costs, offset by 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 4% from $2,361 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $2,467 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $7,809 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $10,857 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $3,048, or 28%. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in oil production of 557 barrels for the period ended March 31, 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 $22,609 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to an increase of $5,337 in oil and gas sales receipts, reductions in working capital of $10,464, abandoned property costs of $6,855 and production costs of $59, offset by an increase in G&A expenses of $106. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices 7 533 during 2001 which contributed an additional $29,315 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $23,978 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 lower well maintenance costs, offset by higher production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices. The increase in G&A was primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets during the three months ended March 31, 2000 of $23,867 were related to salvage income received on one well plugged and abandoned during 2000. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $78,309, of which $783 was distributed to the managing general partner and $77,526 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" 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. 8 534 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. 7 541 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 8 542 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.

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. 10 544 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) -------------------- ------------------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 271,658 288,529 Revisions (91,942) (76,028) Production (21,200) (22,343) ------------ ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 158,516 190,158 Revisions 180,472 261,855 Production (20,664) (23,218) ------------ ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 318,324 428,795 Revisions 27,943 (50,880) Production (17,619) (20,905) ------------ ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 328,648 357,010 ============ ============ 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.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 64% 60% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 63% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 3% 6% 25% 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 12 546 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. 13 547 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 85-A, LTD. (A TEXAS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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. 548 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. 549 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. 550 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 85-A, LTD.

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.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 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 oil and gas development and production in Texas and is not involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. Note 2. Basis of presentation In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements of the Partnership as of March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 44% to $128,977 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $89,527 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received and an increase in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 2,541 barrels of oil, 1,191 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 6,584 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,829 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 2,270 barrels of oil, 1,355 barrels of NGLs and 5,393 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,524 BOEs. 6 559 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.99, or 4%, from $27.34 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.33 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.69, or 35%, from $13.50 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.19 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 216% from $1.70 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.37 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Gain on disposition of assets of $2,574 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2001 resulting from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $59,696 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $50,204 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $9,492, or 19%. 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 $50,331 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $40,320 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $10,011 increase, or 25%. 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. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 44% from $1,791 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $2,579 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $6,786 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $8,093 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $1,307, or 16%. This decrease was primarily due to positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices, offset by an increase in oil production of 271 barrels for the period ended March 31, 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 $26,020 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to an increase of $39,638 in oil and gas sales receipts, offset by increases in production costs of $10,011, G&A expenses of $788 and working 7 560 capital of $2,819. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $28,552 to oil and gas receipts and $11,086 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 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 an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $2,574 received during the three months ended March 31, 2001 were due to equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $43,494, of which $435 was distributed to the managing general partner and $43,059 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

(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 7 568 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. 8 569 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $152,466 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: 2000 1999 1998 -------- ------- -------- Net income (loss) per statements of operations $ 220,155 $ 61,348 $ (160,482) Depletion and depreciation provisions for tax reporting purposes less than amounts for financial reporting purposes 28,649 30,978 116,164 Impairment of oil and gas properties for financial reporting purposes - - 92,133 Salvage income - - 2,904 Other, net (493) (727) 859 Net income per Federal income tax returns $ 248,311 $ 91,599 $ 51,578 ======== ======= ======== NOTE 5.

Pioneer USA and the Partnership are parties to the Program agreement. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to the Partnership and Pioneer USA as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnership -------------- ----------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable properties 9.09091% 90.90909% All other revenues 24.242425% 75.757575% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs and all other costs 9.09091% 90.90909% Operating costs, direct costs and general and administrative expenses 24.242425% 75.757575% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level. 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. 10 571 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ---------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 186,210 271,087 Revisions (76,968) (74,549) Production (15,439) (25,328) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 93,803 171,210 Revisions 121,880 243,365 Production (14,598) (27,627) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 201,085 386,948 Revisions 46,612 21,005 Production (15,698) (22,987) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 231,999 384,966 ======== ======== 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.

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 of the oil and gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to being paid to the 12 573 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. 13 574 PARKER & PARSLEY SELECTED 85 PRIVATE INVESTMENT, LTD. (A TEXAS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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. 575 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. 576 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. 577 PARKER & PARSLEY SELECTED 85 PRIVATE INVESTMENT, 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 11% to $219,518 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $196,979 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 3,970 barrels of oil, 2,382 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 10,876 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,165 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 4,620 barrels of oil, 3,346 barrels of NGLs and 14,461 mcf of gas were sold, or 10,376 BOEs. 7 587 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.74, or 3%, from $27.46 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.20 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.94, or 36%, from $13.90 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.84 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 253% from $1.63 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.76 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Gain on disposition of assets of $10,237 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2000 resulting from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $111,987 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $102,924 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $9,063, or 9%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in production costs, offset by decreases in general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion. Production costs were $101,139 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $89,952 for the same period in 2000 resulting in an $11,187 increase, or 12%. 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A decreased 28% from $5,909 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $4,249 for the same period in 2001. The decrease is attributable to the Partnership being credited for an over allocation of $2,337 by the managing general partner for personnel and administrative costs for the year ended December 31, 2000. Depletion was $6,599 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $7,063 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $464, or 7%. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in oil production of 650 barrels for the period ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period ended March 31, 2000. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $105,001 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was due to an increase of $23,215 in oil and gas sales receipts and reductions of $91,313 in working capital and $1,660 in G&A expenses, offset by an increase in production costs of $11,187. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $80,372 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $57,157 resulting from the decline in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in 8 588 production costs was primarily due to additional well maintenance and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production and an increase in production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices. Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities The Partnership's investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2000 were related to equipment upgrades on active properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $10,237 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 resulted from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $88,643, of which $886 was distributed to the managing general partner and $87,757 to the limited partners.

BUSINESS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO ACHIEVE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. 591 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 2 592 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. 3 593 PART II 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 6.

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 5 595 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. 6 596 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. 7 597 ITEM 8.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) 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. 14 604 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 15 605 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: 2000 1999 1998 ------------- -------------- -------------- Net income (loss) per statements of operations $ 487,574 $ 96,423 $ (248,515) Depletion and depreciation provisions for tax reporting purposes less than amounts for financial reporting purposes 16,131 66,147 251,615 Impairment of oil and gas properties for financial reporting purposes 12,800 28,052 23,593 Timing difference 67,848 - - Other, net (1,032) (1,773) 2,118 ---------- --------- --------- Net income per Federal income tax returns $ 583,321 $ 188,849 $ 28,811 ========== ========== ========== NOTE 5.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Pursuant to the limited partnership agreement, the Partnership had the following related party transactions with the managing general partner during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------------- -------------- -------------- Payment of lease operating and supervision charges in accordance with standard industry operating agreements $ 167,350 $ 167,820 $ 161,913 Reimbursement of general and administrative expenses $ 24,184 $ 9,436 $ 9,062 The Partnership participates in oil and gas activities through an income tax partnership (the "Program") pursuant to the Program agreement. In addition, Pioneer USA and the Partnership are parties to the Program agreement. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnership as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnership ------------- --------------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable properties 9.09091% 90.90909% All other revenues 24.242425% 75.757575% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs and all other costs 9.09091% 90.90909% Operating costs, direct costs and general and administrative expenses 24.242425% 75.757575% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level and 35 limited partner interests owned by Pioneer USA. 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. 17 607 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) -------------------- ------------------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 315,662 469,065 Revisions (123,571) (148,399) Production (31,472) (49,805) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 160,619 270,861 Revisions 273,095 545,216 Production (33,226) (62,354) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 400,488 753,723 Revisions 83,992 171,142 Production (31,785) (56,549) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 452,695 868,316 ========== ========== 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. 18 608 For the years ended December 31, ------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ---------------- ---------------- --------------- (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 15,459 $ 9,741 $ 1,763 Future production costs (8,207) (5,896) (1,433) ---------- ---------- ---------- 7,252 3,845 330 10% annual discount factor (3,642) (1,727) (89) ---------- ---------- ---------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 3,610 $ 2,118 $ 241 =========== =========== =========== For the years ended December 31, ------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ---------------- ---------------- --------------- (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $ (516) $ (214) $ (43) Net changes in prices and production costs 1,408 829 (761) Revisions of previous quantity estimates 753 1,942 (147) Accretion of discount 212 24 113 Changes in production rates, timing and other (365) (704) (51) ---------- ----------- ---------- Change in present value of future net revenues 1,492 1,877 (889) ---------- ----------- ---------- Balance, beginning of year 2,118 241 1,130 ---------- ----------- ---------- Balance, end of year $ 3,610 $ 2,118 $ 241 =========== ============ =========== NOTE 8.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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. -2- 620 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 9% to $438,473 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $402,132 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decline in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 8,976 barrels of oil, 2,760 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 20,049 mcf of gas were sold, or 15,078 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 10,821 barrels of oil, 5,059 barrels of NGLs and 7 627 20,435 mcf of gas were sold, or 19,286 BOEs. Of the decrease, 1,732 BOEs are attributable to two wells reaching payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements which reduced the Partnership's net revenue interest in the wells. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.35, or 5%, from $27.60 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.95 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $5.78, or 43%, from $13.37 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $19.15 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 256% from $1.76 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6.27 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Gain on disposition of assets of $1,419 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2000 due to equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $211,291 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $215,173 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $3,882, or 2%. This decrease was primarily due to declines in depletion and production costs, offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $168,451 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $169,111 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $660. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in lease operating and production taxes attributable to the wells that reached payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements as noted above, offset by an increase 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 9% from $12,064 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $13,154 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the accrual of tax preparation fees. Depletion was $29,686 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $33,998 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $4,312, or 13%. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in oil production of 1,845 barrels for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 and 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. 8 628 Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $95,541 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $36,930 in oil and gas sales receipts and reductions in production costs of $660 and working capital of $59,041, offset by an increase in G&A expenses of $1,090. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $136,786 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $99,856 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 lower well maintenance costs, offset by an increase in production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices. The increase in G&A was primarily due to an increase in the accrual of tax preparation fees. Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities The Partnership's investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were related to expenditures for oil and gas equipment upgrades on active properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $1,419 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2000 were due to equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $180,685, of which $1,807 was distributed to the managing general partner and $178,878 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. 9 629 ---------- (1) "Item 2.

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 2 633 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. 3 634 PART II 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 6.

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 5 636 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. 6 637 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. 7 638 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. 8 639 ITEM 8.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) 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 15 646 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. 16 647 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $38,785 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 by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent petroleum consultant, using criteria established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. 18 649 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) -------------------- ------------------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 940,047 1,239,206 Revisions (401,595) (457,837) Production (70,399) (97,715) ----------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 468,053 683,654 Revisions 550,528 841,323 Production (63,132) (86,726) ----------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 955,449 1,438,251 Revisions 42,519 (145,295) Production (62,337) (79,859) ----------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 935,631 1,213,097 =========== ========== 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. 19 650 For the years ended December 31, ------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ---------------- ---------------- --------------- (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 30,354 $ 23,606 $ 5,045 Future production costs (16,091) (13,697) (3,839) ---------- ---------- ---------- 14,263 9,909 1,206 10% annual discount factor (7,163) (4,671) (387) ---------- ---------- ---------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 7,100 $ 5,238 $ 819 =========== =========== =========== For the years ended December 31, ------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ---------------- ---------------- --------------- (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $ (1,085) $ (445) $ (266) Net changes in prices and production costs 2,757 2,398 (2,377) Revisions of previous quantity estimates 121 3,891 (547) Accretion of discount 524 82 377 Changes in production rates, timing and other (455) (1,507) (140) ---------- ----------- ---------- Change in present value of future net revenues 1,862 4,419 (2,953) ---------- ----------- ---------- Balance, beginning of year 5,238 819 3,772 ---------- ----------- ---------- Balance, end of year $ 7,100 $ 5,238 $ 819 =========== ============ =========== NOTE 8.

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. -2- 662 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 28% to $532,204 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from $417,147 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by declines in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 9,944 barrels of oil, 5,131 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 28,858 mcf of gas were sold, or 19,885 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 11,158 barrels of oil, 5,452 barrels of NGLs and 21,750 mcf of gas were sold, or 20,235 BOEs. 7 669 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.40, or 1%, from $27.56 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $27.96 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.44, or 33%, from $13.64 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.08 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 245% from $1.62 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.59 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $264,354 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $272,626 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $8,272, or 3%. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in depletion, offset by increases in general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and production costs. Production costs were $217,165 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $216,955 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $210. This 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 28% from $12,514 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $15,966 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $31,223 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $43,157 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $11,934, or 28%. This decrease was primarily due to positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices and a decrease in oil production of 1,214 barrels for the three months ended March 31, 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 $136,028 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $115,865 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction in working capital of $23,825, offset by increases in production costs of $210 and G&A expenses of $3,452. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $115,865 to oil and gas receipts. 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 an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. 8 670 Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were related to upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $162,999, of which $1,630 was distributed to the managing general partner and $161,369 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

BUSINESS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO ACHIEVE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. 673 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 2 674 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. 3 675 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 6.

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. 5 677 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 6 678 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. 7 679 ITEM 8.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) 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. 14 686 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. 15 687 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: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Net income (loss) per statements of operations $ 828,383 $ 105,421 $(423,942) Depletion and depreciation provisions for tax reporting purposes less than amounts for financial reporting purposes 132,379 182,068 348,153 Impairment of oil and gas properties for financial reporting purposes - 26,652 277,277 Salvage income - - 431 Other, net (2,097) (2,839) 4,014 -------- -------- -------- Net income per Federal income tax returns $ 958,665 $ 311,302 $ 205,933 ======== ======== ======== NOTE 5.

In addition, Pioneer USA and the Partnership are parties to the Program agreement. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnership as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnership --------------- --------------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable properties 9.09091% 90.90909% All other revenues 24.242425% 75.757575% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs and all other costs 9.09091% 90.90909% Operating costs, direct costs and general and administrative expenses 24.242425% 75.757575% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level and 60 limited partner interests owned by Pioneer USA. 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. 17 689 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ---------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 831,525 1,374,642 Revisions (383,916) (502,202) Production (74,674) (129,149) ----------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 372,935 743,291 Revisions 507,962 924,982 Production (64,894) (105,081) ----------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 816,003 1,563,192 Revisions 148,591 (208,305) Production (66,329) (95,610) ----------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 898,265 1,259,277 =========== ========== 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. 18 690 For the years ended December 31, ----------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ---------- --------- -------- (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 29,187 $ 20,004 $ 4,058 Future production costs (17,168) (12,833) (3,287) --------- --------- -------- 12,019 7,171 771 10% annual discount factor (5,451) (3,031) (217) --------- --------- -------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 6,568 $ 4,140 $ 554 ========= ========= ======= For the years ended December 31, ------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ---------- --------- -------- (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $ (1,017) $ (353) $ (236) Net changes in prices and production costs 2,672 1,767 (2,176) Revisions of previous quantity estimates 714 3,173 (425) Accretion of discount 414 55 323 Changes in production rates, timing and other (355) (1,056) (163) -------- --------- -------- Change in present value of future net revenues 2,428 3,586 (2,677) -------- --------- -------- Balance, beginning of year 4,140 554 3,231 -------- --------- -------- Balance, end of year $ 6,568 $ 4,140 $ 554 ========= ========== ========= NOTE 8. MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 37% 36% - TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC 15% 14% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 50% Western Gas Resources Inc. 5% 7% 31% At December 31, 2000, the amounts receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P. and TEPPCO Crude Oil LLP were $72,179 and $15,378, 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 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. 19 691 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.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses.

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.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 14% to $159,338 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $139,554 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 3,129 barrels of oil, 1,034 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 8,951 mcf of gas were sold, or 5,655 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 3,720 barrels of oil, 1,704 barrels of NGLs and 7,936 mcf of gas were sold, or 6,747 BOEs. 6 708 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.00, or 4%, from $27.55 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.55 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.99, or 37%, from $13.33 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.32 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 215% from $1.81 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.70 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 three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $81,294 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $90,317 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $9,023, or 10%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs and depletion, offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $65,449 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $72,738 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $7,289 decrease, or 10%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in well maintenance costs, offset by 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 14% from $2,791 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $3,187 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $12,658 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $14,788 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $2,130, or 14%. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in oil production of 591 barrels for the period ended March 31, 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 $53,010 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to increases in oil and gas sales receipts of $19,933 and reductions in working capital of $26,184 and production costs of $7,289, offset by an increase G&A expenses of $396. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $43,293 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $23,360 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 a decrease in well maintenance 7 709 costs, offset by higher production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices. The increase in G&A was primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $69,912, of which $699 was distributed to the managing general partner and $69,213 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

(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. 7 717 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. 8 718 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $209,861 greater 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: 2000 1999 1998 -------------- -------------- -------------- Net income (loss) per statements of operations $ 267,800 $ 48,201 $ (164,409) Depletion and depreciation provisions for tax reporting less than amounts for financial reporting purposes 43,051 60,686 147,947 Impairment of oil and gas properties for financial reporting purposes - - 98,274 Other, net (688) (98) 931 ----------- ------------ ----------- Net income per Federal income tax returns $ 310,163 $ 108,789 $ 82,743 ============ ============ ============ NOTE 5.

Pioneer USA and the Partnership are parties to the Program agreement. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnership as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnership --------------- --------------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable properties 9.09091% 90.90909% All other revenues 24.242425% 75.757575% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs and all other costs 9.09091% 90.90909% Operating costs, direct costs and general and administrative expenses 24.242425% 75.757575% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level. 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. Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) -------------------- ------------------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 268,312 360,572 Revisions (79,340) (72,226) Production (22,245) (33,219) ------------- ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 166,727 255,127 Revisions 157,207 248,047 Production (20,843) (30,923) ------------- ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 303,091 472,251 Revisions 35,219 57,281 Production (20,938) (33,570) ------------- ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 317,372 495,962 ============= ============ 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. 10 720 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.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 45% 45% - Mobil Oil Corporation 19% 18% 18% Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 46% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 3% 5% 21% At December 31, 2000, the amounts receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P. and Mobil Oil Corporation were $23,848 and $10,948, 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 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 12 722 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. 13 723 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 86, LTD. (A TEXAS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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. 724 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. 725 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. 726 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 86, LTD.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 20% to $103,709 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $86,783 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 1,910 barrels of oil, 1,022 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 5,718 mcf of gas were sold, or 3,885 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 2,186 barrels of oil, 1,182 barrels of NGLs and 5,425 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,272 BOEs. 6 735 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.66, or 2%, from $27.18 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $27.84 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.50, or 23%, from $15.12 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.62 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 215% from $1.75 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.51 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Gains on disposition of assets of $321 and $784 were due to equipment credits received on one well during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $51,002 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $45,067 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $5,935, or 13%. This increase was due to increases in depletion, production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $38,017 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $35,526 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $2,491 increase, or 7%. 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 20% from $2,603 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $3,111 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $9,894 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $6,938 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $2,956, or 43%. This increase was primarily due to a downward revision to one well's proved reserves, offset by a decline in oil production of 276 barrels during the three months ended March 31, 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 $16,209 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $16,962 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction in working capital of $2,246, offset by increases in production costs of $2,491 and G&A expenses of $508. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $26,008 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $9,046 7 736 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. The increase in G&A was primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's principle investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Proceeds from asset dispositions of $637 and $1,016 received during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, were comprised of $321 and $784, respectively, received from the salvage of equipment on one fully depleted well and $316 and $232, respectively, from equipment salvage on active properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $45,111, of which $451 was distributed to the managing general partner and $44,660 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" 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. 8 737 PARKER & PARSLEY 87-A CONV., LTD.

(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. 7 744 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 8 745 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 ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Net income (loss) per statements of operations $ 193,583 $ 68,399 $(98,562) Depletion and depreciation provisions for tax reporting purposes less than amounts for financial reporting purposes 21,481 31,994 77,835 Impairment of oil and gas properties for financial reporting purposes 5,726 -- 63,814 Salvage income -- -- 1,795 Other, net (320) (923) 1,074 -------- -------- -------- Net income per Federal income tax returns $ 220,470 $ 99,470 $ 45,956 ======== ======== ======== NOTE 5.

Pioneer USA, Parker & Parsley 87-A, Ltd. and the Partnership (the "Partnerships") are parties to the Program agreement. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnerships as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnerships (2) -------------- --------------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable properties 9.09091% 90.90909% All other revenues 24.242425% 75.757575% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs and all other costs 9.09091% 90.90909% Operating costs, direct costs and general and administrative expenses 24.242425% 75.757575% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level and 35 limited partner interests owned by Pioneer USA. (2) The allocation between the Partnership and Parker & Parsley 87-A, Ltd. is 11.80396% and 88.19604%, respectively. 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. 10 747 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ---------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 173,242 260,824 Revisions (70,303) (79,797) Production (14,371) (24,025) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 88,568 157,002 Revisions 121,459 218,318 Production (13,578) (24,503) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 196,449 350,817 Revisions (1,562) (40,268) Production (13,096) (20,355) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 181,791 290,194 ======== ======== 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. 11 748 For the years ended December 31, ------------------------------ 2000 1999 1998 ------- ------- ------- (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 6,182 $ 4,834 $ 964 Future production costs (3,279) (2,837) (754) ------- ------- ------- 2,903 1,997 210 10% annual discount factor (1,438) (931) (61) ------- ------- ------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 1,465 $ 1,066 $ 149 ======= ======= ======= For the years ended December 31, ----------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 -------- --------- -------- (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $ (231) $ (107) $ (52) Net changes in prices and production costs 663 480 (462) Revisions of previous quantity estimates (56) 878 (87) Accretion of discount 106 15 71 Changes in production rates, timing and other (83) (349) (26) -------- --------- -------- Change in present value of future net revenues 399 917 (556) -------- --------- -------- Balance, beginning of year 1,066 149 705 -------- --------- -------- Balance, end of year $ 1,465 $ 1,066 $ 149 ========= ========== ========= NOTE 8.

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. 12 749 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. 13 750 PARKER & PARSLEY 87-A CONV., LTD. (A TEXAS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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. 751 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. 752 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. 753 PARKER & PARSLEY 87-A CONV., LTD.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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.

(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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 19% to $774,832 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $648,941 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by declines in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 14,267 barrels of oil, 7,635 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 42,755 mcf of gas were sold, or 29,028 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 16,334 barrels of oil, 8,851 barrels of NGLs and 40,626 mcf of gas were sold, or 31,956 BOEs. 7 763 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.66, or 2%, from $27.18 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $27.84 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.50, or 23%, from $15.12 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.62 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 215% from $1.75 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.51 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Gains on disposition of assets of $2,399 and $5,861 were due to equipment credits received on one well during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $381,609 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $336,920 for the same period ended March 31, 2000, an increase of $44,689, or 13%. This increase was due to increases in depletion, production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $284,079 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $265,708 for the same period in 2000, resulting in an increase of $18,371, or 7%. 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 19% from $19,468 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $23,245 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $74,285 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $51,744 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $22,541, or 44%. The increase was primarily due to a downward revision to one well's proved reserves, offset by a decline in oil production of 2,067 barrels during the three months ended March 31, 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 $121,047 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $126,127 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction in working capital of $17,068, offset by increases in production costs of $18,371 and G&A expenses of $3,777. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $194,581 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $68,454 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 8 764 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 an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities: The Partnership's principle investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were related to the upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active properties. Proceeds from asset dispositions of $4,757 and $7,591 received during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, were comprised of $2,399 and $5,861, respectively, received from the salvage of equipment on one fully depleted well and $2,358 and $1,730, respectively, from equipment salvage on active properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities: For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $337,058, of which $3,371 was distributed to the managing general partner and $333,687 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Item 2.

BUSINESS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO ACHIEVE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. 768 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 2 769 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. 3 770 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 6.

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. 5 772 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. 6 773 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 7 774 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. 8 775 ITEM 8.

(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. 15 782 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.

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. 18 785 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 1,294,911 1,949,548 Revisions (525,530) (596,528) Production (107,375) (179,494) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 662,006 1,173,526 Revisions 907,814 1,631,783 Production (101,441) (183,099) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 1,468,379 2,622,210 Revisions (35,573) (336,529) Production (97,824) (152,075) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 1,334,982 2,133,606 ========== ========== 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.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses.

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. -2- 798 PARKER & PARSLEY 87-B CONV., LTD.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 2% to $109,348 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $111,198 for the same period in 2000. The decrease in revenues resulted from a decrease in production, offset by higher average prices received. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 2,438 barrels of oil, 729 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 4,549 mcf of gas were sold, or 3,925 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 2,793 barrels of oil, 1,487 barrels of NGLs and 6,437 mcf of gas were sold, or 5,353 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil decreased slightly from $27.69 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $27.55 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.74, or 25%, from $15.18 6 804 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.92 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 257% from $1.75 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6.24 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Gain on disposition of assets of $4,013 was received during the three months ended March 31, 2001 of which $3,637 was from disposal of equipment on one well plugged and abandoned during the current period and $376 was from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Expenses to plug and abandon this well were $3,413. For the three months ended March 31, 2000, $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 $71,228 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $52,653 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $18,575, or 35%. 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 $46,813 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $39,867 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $6,946 increase, or 17%. This increase was 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A decreased 15% from $3,336 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $2,843 for the same period in 2001. The decline was 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 March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000, offset by an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $18,159 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $9,450 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $8,709, or 92%. This increase was primarily due to a downward revision to proved reserves on one well, offset by a decline in oil production of 355 barrels during the three months ended March 31, 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 $25,743 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to reductions of $37,192 in working capital and $493 in G&A expenses, offset by a decline in oil and gas sales receipts of $1,583 and increases in production costs of $6,946 and abandoned property costs of $3,413. The G&A decline was primarily due to less G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of 7 805 oil and gas revenues) due to less oil and gas revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000, offset by an increase in the accrual of tax preparation fees. The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production. The decline in oil and gas receipts resulted from a decline in production of $34,583, offset by $36,166 resulting from higher average prices received. The increase in abandoned property costs was due to the plugging and abandonment of one uneconomical well. Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's principle investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Proceeds from salvage income of $376 and $919 were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, on one fully depleted well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $50,010, of which $500 was distributed to the managing general partner and $49,510 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) 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. 7 813 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. 8 814 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $63,837 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

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. Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 230,505 316,120 Revisions (76,948) (70,310) Production (17,879) (25,477) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 135,678 220,333 Revisions 155,187 272,717 Production (16,758) (24,436) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 274,107 468,614 Revisions (9,351) (76,076) Production (16,015) (23,682) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 248,741 368,856 ======== ======== 10 816 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.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 49% 50% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. 2% 1% 57% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 4% 6% 26% Phillips Petroleum Company 16% - - At December 31, 2000, the amounts receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P. and Phillips Petroleum Company were $23,391 and $10,443, 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. 12 818 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. 13 819 PARKER & PARSLEY 87-B CONV., LTD. (A TEXAS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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 820 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. 821 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. 822 PARKER & PARSLEY 87-B CONV., LTD.

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.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 2% to $446,606 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $453,944 for the same period in 2000. The decrease in revenues resulted from declines in production, offset by higher average prices received. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 9,952 barrels of oil, 2,989 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 18,570 mcf of gas were sold, or 16,036 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 11,392 barrels of oil, 6,086 barrels of NGLs and 26,331 mcf of gas were sold, or 21,867 BOEs. 7 832 The average price received per barrel of oil decreased slightly from $27.69 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $27.55 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.74, or 25%, from $15.18 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.92 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 257% from $1.75 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6.24 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Gain on disposition of assets of $16,389 was received during the three months ended March 31, 2001 of which $14,853 was from disposal of equipment on one well plugged and abandoned during the current period and $1,536 was from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Expenses to plug and abandon this well were $13,935. For the three months ended March 31, 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 $290,946 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $215,010 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $75,936, or 35%. 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 $191,209 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $162,841 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $28,368 increase, or 17%. The increase was 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A decreased 15% from $13,618 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $11,612 for the same period in 2001. The decline was 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 March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000, offset by an increase in the accrual of tax preparation fees. Depletion was $74,190 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $38,551 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $35,639, or 92%. This increase was primarily due to a downward revision to proved reserves on one well, offset by a decline in oil production of 1,440 barrels during the three months ended March 31, 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 $113,239 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was due to reductions of $159,890 in working capital and $2,006 in G&A expenses, offset 8 833 by a decline in oil and gas sales receipts of $6,354 and increases in production costs of $28,368 and abandoned property costs of $13,935. The G&A decline was primarily due to less G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) due to lower oil and gas revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000, offset by an increase in the accrual of tax preparation fees. The increase in production costs was primarily due to additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production. The decline in oil and gas receipts resulted from declines in production of $146,692, offset by $140,338 resulting from higher average prices received. The increase in abandoned property costs was due to the plugging and abandonment of one well during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities The Partnership's principle investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were related to expenditures for oil and gas equipment upgrades on active properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $1,536 and $3,753 were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, from equipment credits received on fully depleted wells. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $204,239, of which $2,042 was distributed to the managing general partner and $202,197 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. 9 834 ---------- (1) "Item 2.

ACCORDINGLY, NO ASSURANCES CAN BE GIVEN THAT THE ACTUAL EVENTS AND RESULTS WILL NOT BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. SEE "ITEM 1. BUSINESS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO ACHIEVE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. 837 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 2 838 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. 3 839 PART II 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 6.

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 5 841 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 6 842 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 7 843 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. 8 844 ITEM 8.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) 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 15 851 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 16 852 The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $261,429 greater 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: 2000 1999 1998 ---------- -------- --------- Net income (loss) per statements of operations $ 945,927 $279,094 $(331,789) Intangible development costs capitalized for financial reporting purposes and expensed for tax reporting purposes -- (273) (5) Depletion and depreciation provisions for tax reporting purposes less than amounts for financial reporting purposes 137,352 192,661 477,912 Impairment of oil and gas properties for financial reporting purposes 86,674 -- 199,037 Loss on sale of assets for tax reporting purposes greater than amounts for financial reporting purposes -- (25,328) -- Other, net (2,628) 2,156 (4,671) ---------- -------- --------- Net income per Federal income tax returns $1,167,325 $448,310 $ 340,484 ========== ======== ========= NOTE 5.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Pursuant to the limited partnership agreement, the Partnership had the following related party transactions with the managing general partner during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 ---------- -------- --------- Payment of lease operating and supervision charges in accordance with standard industry operating agreements $ 304,400 $ 301,167 $ 292,411 Reimbursement of general and administrative expenses $ 50,579 $ 23,361 $ 23,688 The Partnership participates in oil and gas activities through an income tax partnership (the "Program") pursuant to the Program agreement. In addition, Pioneer USA, Parker & Parsley 87-B Conv., Ltd. and the Partnership (the "Partnerships") are parties to the Program agreement. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnerships as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnerships (2) ---------- ---------------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable properties 9.09091% 90.90909% All other revenues 24.242425% 75.757575% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs and all other costs 9.09091% 90.90909% Operating costs, direct costs and general and administrative expenses 24.242425% 75.757575% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level and 45 limited partner interests owned by Pioneer USA. (2) The allocation between the Partnership and Parker & Parsley 87-B Conv., Ltd. is 80.33029% and 19.66971%, respectively. 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. 18 854 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ------------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 941,555 1,291,273 Revisions (314,311) (287,194) Production (73,036) (104,072) ----------- ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 554,208 900,007 Revisions 633,879 1,113,934 Production (68,433) (99,771) ----------- ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 1,119,654 1,914,170 Revisions (38,404) (311,039) Production (65,401) (96,740) ----------- ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 1,015,849 1,506,391 =========== ============ 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.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- Plains Marketing, L.P. 49% 50% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. 2% - 57% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 4% 6% 26% Phillips Petroleum Company 16% 9% 8% At December 31, 2000, the amounts receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P. and Phillips Petroleum Company were $95,526 and $42,656, 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. 20 856 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.

(the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized in 1987 under the laws of the State of Texas. 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. Basis of presentation In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements of the Partnership as of March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 5% to $383,411 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $366,869 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decline in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 11,080 barrels of oil, 1,780 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 11,750 mcf of gas were sold, or 14,818 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 11,876 barrels of oil, 1,997 barrels of NGLs and 9,135 mcf of gas were sold, or 15,396 BOEs. 7 874 The average price received per barrel of oil increased slightly from $27.47 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $27.48 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.44, or 12%, from $11.93 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $13.37 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 155% from $1.84 during the three months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 2001. Gains on disposition of assets of $27,320 and $15,629 were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The gain recognized during 2001 was due to $25,956 from equipment credits on one well plugged and abandoned in the current period and $1,364 was due to salvage income from a well abandoned during 2000. The gain recognized during 2000 was comprised of $10,858 from equipment credits on one well plugged and abandoned in the current period and $4,771 salvage income on a well plugged and abandoned during 1999. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $209,110 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $201,099 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $8,011, or 4%. This increase was the result of higher production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by declines in depletion and abandoned property costs. Production costs were $170,185 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $159,161 for the same period in 2000, resulting in an $11,024 increase, or 7%. This 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 5% from $11,006 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $11,502 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $15,152 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $18,149 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $2,997, or 17%. This decrease was primarily due to positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices and 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. Abandoned property costs of $12,271 and $12,783 were incurred on the abandonment of one well during each period ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. 8 875 Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $113,848 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $17,102 in oil and gas sales receipts and reductions in working capital of $107,754 and abandoned property costs of $512, offset by increases in production costs of $11,024 and G&A expenses of $496. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $29,603 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $12,501 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. Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities Proceeds from disposition of assets of $11,517 and $18,129 were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The proceeds recognized during both periods were from equipment credits on wells plugged and abandoned. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $134,767, of which $1,348 was distributed to the managing general partner and $133,419 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships.

ACCORDINGLY, NO ASSURANCES CAN BE GIVEN THAT THE ACTUAL EVENTS AND RESULTS WILL NOT BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. SEE "ITEM 1. BUSINESS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO ACHIEVE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. 879 PART I 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 2 880 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. 3 881 PART II 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. ITEM 6.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Results of operations 4 882 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. 5 883 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 6 884 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. 7 885 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. 8 886 ITEM 8.

(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-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 15 893 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. 16 894 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $1,521,385 less than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

Pioneer USA, P&P Employees Producing Properties 87-A ("EMPL") and the Partnership are parties to the Program agreement. EMPL is a general partnership organized for the benefit of certain employees of Pioneer USA. EMPL was merged with Pioneer USA on December 28, 2000. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnership as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnership --------------- ----------- Revenues: Revenues from oil and gas production, proceeds from sales of producing properties and all other revenues: Before payout (2) 4.040405% 95.959595% After payout 19.191920% 80.808080% Costs and expenses: Property acquisition costs, operating costs, general and administrative expenses and other costs: Before payout (2) 4.040405% 95.959595% After payout 19.191920% 80.808080% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level and 86 limited partner interests owned by Pioneer USA.

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. 18 896 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ---------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 719,789 996,755 Revisions (302,841) (385,883) Production (64,367) (56,240) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 352,581 554,632 Revisions 461,643 633,460 Production (53,101) (53,145) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 761,123 1,134,947 Revisions 6,756 (376,058) Production (53,656) (45,872) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 714,223 713,017 ========== ========== 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. 19 897 For the years ended December 31, -------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ----------- ----------- ----------- (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 22,258 $ 18,298 $ 3,739 Future production costs (12,936) (10,698) (2,777) ----------- ----------- ----------- 9,322 7,600 962 10% annual discount factor (4,639) (3,477) (323) ----------- ----------- ----------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 4,683 $ 4,123 $ 639 =========== =========== =========== For the years ended December 31, -------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ----------- ----------- ----------- (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $ (750) $ (304) $ (125) Net changes in prices and production costs 1,685 1,668 (1,687) Revisions of previous quantity estimates (339) 3,013 (453) Accretion of discount 412 64 275 Changes in production rates, timing and other (448) (957) (118) -------- --------- -------- Change in present value of future net revenues 560 3,484 (2,108) -------- --------- -------- Balance, beginning of year 4,123 639 2,747 -------- --------- -------- Balance, end of year $ 4,683 $ 4,123 $ 639 ========= ========== ========= NOTE 8.

(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 or about July 9, 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.

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.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 production in Texas and is not involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. Note 2. Basis of presentation In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements of the Partnership as of March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 10% to $238,043 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $263,792 for the same period in 2000. The decrease in revenues resulted from a decline in production, offset by higher average prices received. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 5,392 barrels of oil, 1,750 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 9,834 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,781 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 7,007 barrels of oil, 3,011 barrels of NGLs and 14,555 mcf of gas were sold, or 12,444 BOEs. Of the decrease, 1,646 BOE's are attributable 7 916 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 80.080801% once cumulative distributions equal initial partner's capital ("Reversionary Interest"). The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.40, or 1%, from $27.54 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $27.14 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.14, or 28%, from $14.93 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $19.07 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 233% from $1.78 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.93 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Gain on disposition of assets of $8,294 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2000. The gain recognized was due to equipment credits received on fully depleted wells. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $104,202 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $128,076 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $23,874, or 19%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs, depletion and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $87,509 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $109,436 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $21,927 decrease, or 20%. Lease operating costs and production taxes declined 15% which were attributable to the Revisionary Interest change and production costs declined 5% resulting from lower well maintenance costs. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and administrative costs. During this period, G&A decreased 10% from $7,914 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $7,141 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to the Revisionary Interest change as noted above. Depletion was $9,552 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $10,726 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $1,174, or 11%. This decrease was primarily due to a decline in oil production of 1,615 barrels for the period ended March 31, 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 $68,587 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was due to reductions in production costs of $21,927, G&A expenses of $773 and working capital of $71,527, offset by a decrease in oil and gas sales receipts of $25,640. The decline in production costs was primarily due to the Reversionary 8 917 Interest change and lower well maintenance. The decrease in oil and gas sales receipts resulted in $95,880 from the decline in production in 2001, offset by the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $70,240 to oil and gas receipts. Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities The Partnership's principal investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 were related to expenditures for upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $13,944 were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2000. The proceeds recognized were primarily from equipment credits on fully depleted wells. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $114,082, of which $1,141 was distributed to the managing general partner and $112,941 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" 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. 9 918 Part II.

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 2 922 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. 3 923 PART II 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 6.

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 5 925 $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. 6 926 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. 7 927 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. 8 928 ITEM 8.

(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. 15 935 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. 16 936 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $838,681 less than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

Pioneer USA, P&P Producing Properties 87-B Employees ("EMPL") and the Partnership are parties to the Program agreement. EMPL is a general partnership organized for the benefit of certain employees of Pioneer USA. EMPL was merged with Pioneer USA on December 28, 2000.

(2) The Partnership reached payout in April 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. 18 938 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ --------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 419,589 664,089 Revisions (95,538) (99,794) Production (40,796) (50,220) ---------- --------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 283,255 514,075 Revisions 292,082 490,347 Production (35,770) (48,774) ---------- --------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 539,567 955,648 Revisions 31,315 (45,195) Production (33,115) (49,380) ---------- --------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 537,767 861,073 ========== ========= 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. For the years ended December 31, -------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ----------- ----------- ----------- (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 18,453 $ 13,256 $ 3,115 Future production costs (8,958) (7,154) (2,221) -------- -------- -------- 9,495 6,102 894 10% annual discount factor (5,082) (3,024) (335) -------- -------- -------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 4,413 $ 3,078 $ 559 ========= ========= ======== 19 939 For the years ended December 31, -------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ----------- ----------- ----------- (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $ (635) $ (262) $ (147) Net changes in prices and production costs 1,865 1,419 (1,151) Revisions of previous quantity estimates 168 2,042 (144) Accretion of discount 308 56 185 Changes in production rates, timing and other (371) (736) (32) -------- --------- -------- Change in present value of future net revenues 1,335 2,519 (1,289) -------- --------- -------- Balance, beginning of year 3,078 559 1,848 -------- --------- -------- Balance, end of year $ 4,413 $ 3,078 $ 559 ========= ========== ========= NOTE 8. MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 32% 37% - TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC 22% 23% - Phillips Petroleum Company 20% 10% 9% Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 58% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 6% 7% 23% At December 31, 2000, the amounts receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P., TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC and Phillips Petroleum Company were $25,204, $31,416 and $21,019, 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. 20 940 NOTE 9.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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.

(A Texas Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 22% to $294,672 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $240,933 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 6,848 barrels of oil, 2,038 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 11,385 mcf of gas were sold, or 10,784 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 6,630 barrels of oil, 2,699 barrels of NGLs and 11,546 mcf of gas were sold, or 11,253 BOEs. 6 957 The average price received per barrel of oil increased slightly from $27.10 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $27.13 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.75, or 32%, from $14.77 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $19.52 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 226% from $1.86 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6.07 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 three months ended March 31, 2001. Gain on disposition of assets of $14,938 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2000 were from equipment credits on a well plugged and abandoned during the prior year. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $139,829 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $133,650 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $6,179 or 5%. 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 $111,234 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $104,648 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $6,586 increase, or 6%. 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 7% from $7,228 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $7,701 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $20,894 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $21,774 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $880, or 4%. This decrease was primarily due to positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices, offset by an increase in oil production of 218 barrels for the three months ended March 31, 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 $51,228 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $54,017 and a reduction of $4,270 in working capital, offset by increases in production costs of $6,586 and G&A expenses of $473. The increase in oil and gas receipts 7 958 resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $61,985 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $7,968 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. The increase in G&A was primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities The Partnership's principal investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 related to oil and gas equipment upgrades on active properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $13,708 and $24,834 were recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The proceeds recognized during 2001 were from equipment credits received on an active property. The proceeds recognized during 2000 were from salvage income received on a well plugged and abandoned during the prior year. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $132,869, of which $1,329 was distributed to the managing general partner and $131,540 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" 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. 8 959 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 87, 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 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. 7 966 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. 8 967 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $72,098 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 by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent petroleum consultant, using criteria established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. 10 969 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) -------------------- ------------------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 593,108 749,623 Revisions (204,355) (192,689) Production (42,801) (58,036) ------------ ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 345,952 498,898 Revisions 377,937 584,604 Production (40,495) (52,874) ------------ ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 683,394 1,030,628 Revisions 114,936 (13,239) Production (35,242) (48,307) ------------ ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 763,088 969,082 ============ ============ 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.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 42% 40% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 46% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 3% 5% 23% Phillips Petroleum Company 17% 16% 13% NGTS LLC 10% 8% 1% At December 31, 2000, the amounts receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P., Phillips Petroleum Company and NGTS LLC were $34,772, $27,567 and $3,043, 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 12 971 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. 13 972 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 87, LTD. (A TEXAS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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. 973 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. 974 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. 975 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 87, LTD.

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. -2- 978 PARKER & PARSLEY 88-A CONV., L.P.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 50% to $133,532 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $89,122 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received and an increase in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 2,956 barrels of oil, 927 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 8,645 mcf of gas were sold, or 5,324 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 2,309 barrels of oil, 1,187 barrels of NGLs and 4,685 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,277 BOEs. Of the increase, 1,183 BOEs are attributable to two 6 984 wells reaching payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements which increased the Partnership's net revenue interest in the wells. The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $1.92, or 7%, from $27.90 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $25.98 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.19, or 30%, from $13.93 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.12 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 167% from $1.73 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $4.62 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Gain on disposition of assets of $76 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2000 resulting from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $57,647 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $53,950 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $3,697, or 7%. This increase was due to increases in depletion, general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and production costs. Production costs were $44,328 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $43,761 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $567 increase, or 1%. The increase was primarily due to increased lease operating and production taxes attributable to the wells that reached payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements as noted above and higher production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by decreases in well maintenance and workover costs. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 50% from $2,674 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $4,006 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a higher percentage of the managing general partners' G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues attributable to commodity prices and the two wells reaching payout as noted above and an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $9,313 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $7,515 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,798, or 24%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in oil production of 647 barrels, which was principally due to the two wells reaching payout as noted above, for the period ended March 31, 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 $22,853 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $44,527, offset 7 985 by increases in production costs of $567, G&A expenses of $1,332 and working capital of $19,775. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $14,119 to oil and gas receipts and $30,408 resulting from an increase in production during 2001. The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by a decrease in 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Proceeds from asset dispositions of $76 received during the three months ended March 31, 2000 were due to equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $47,796, of which $478 was distributed to the managing general partner and $47,318 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

(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 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. 7 993 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. 8 994 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $78,614 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

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. Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) --------------- ---------------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 245,336 365,368 Revisions (90,082) (90,310) Production (16,899) (25,367) -------------- -------------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 138,355 249,691 Revisions 118,130 203,398 Production (17,052) (27,417) -------------- -------------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 239,433 425,672 Revisions 3,043 (86,940) Production (14,604) (21,399) -------------- -------------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 227,872 317,333 ============== ============== 10 996 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.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 54% 50% - NGTS LLC 9% 10% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 55% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 3% 6% 22% At December 31, 2000, the amounts receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P. was $21,731, 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 12 998 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. 13 999 PARKER & PARSLEY 88-A CONV., L.P. (A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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. 1000 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. 1001 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. 1002 PARKER & PARSLEY 88-A CONV., L.P.

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. -2- 1005 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 50% to $455,361 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $304,068 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received and an increase in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 10,082 barrels of oil, 3,156 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 29,495 mcf of gas were sold, or 18,154 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 7,878 barrels of oil, 4,068 barrels of NGLs and 7 1012 15,987 mcf of gas were sold, or 14,611 BOEs. Of the increase, 3,880 BOEs are attributable to two wells reaching payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements which increased the Partnership's net revenue interest in the wells. The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $1.92, or 7%, from $27.90 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $25.98 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.19, or 30%, from $13.93 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.12 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 167% from $1.73 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $4.62 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Gain on disposition of assets of $259 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2000 resulting from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $196,581 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $183,979 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $12,602, or 7%. The increase was due to increases in depletion, general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and production costs. Production costs were $151,163 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $149,276 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $1,887 increase, or 1%. The increase was primarily due to increased lease operating and production taxes attributable to the wells that reached payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements as noted above and higher production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by decreases in well maintenance and workover costs. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 50% from $9,122 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $13,661 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 attributable to commodity prices and the two wells reaching payout as noted above and an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $31,757 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $25,581 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $6,176, or 24%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in oil production of 2,204 barrels, which was principally due to the two wells reaching payout as noted above, for the three months ended March 31, 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 $104,369 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $151,512 in oil and gas sales receipts, 8 1013 offset by increases in production costs of $1,887, G&A expenses of $4,539 and working capital of $40,717. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $48,394 to oil and gas receipts and $103,118 resulting from an increase in production during 2001. The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by a decrease in 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's principal investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2000 were related to upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $259 received during the three months ended March 31, 2000 were due to equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $162,998, of which $1,630 was distributed to the managing general partner and $161,368 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Item 2.

BUSINESS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO ACHIEVE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. 1017 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 1018 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. 3 1019 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 6.

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 1021 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 1022 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. 7 1023 ITEM 8.

(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 1030 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. 15 1031 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: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- --------- Net income (loss) per statements of operations $ 749,290 $ 331,033 $ (514,812) Depletion and depreciation for tax reporting purposes less than provisions for financial reporting purposes 92,722 154,558 357,942 Impairment of oil and gas properties for financial reporting purposes - - 405,308 Other, net (2,176) (2,693) 13,320 -------- -------- --------- Net income per Federal income tax returns $ 839,836 $ 482,898 $ 261,758 ======== ======== ========= NOTE 5.

Pioneer USA, Parker & Parsley 88-A Conv., L.P. and the Partnership (the "Partnerships") are parties to the Program agreement. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnerships as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnerships (2) ---------------- ---------------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable properties 9.09091% 90.90909% All other revenues 24.242425% 75.757575% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs and all other costs 9.09091% 90.90909% Operating costs, direct costs and general and administrative expenses 24.242425% 75.757575% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level and 173 limited partner interests owned by Pioneer USA. (2) The allocation between the Partnership and Parker & Parsley 88-A Conv., L.P. is 77.325442% and 22.674558%, respectively. 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. 17 1033 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------- ----------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 836,39 1,245,602 Revisions (307,084) (307,863) Production (57,635) (86,501) ------------- ----------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 471,675 851,238 Revisions 402,731 693,436 Production (58,141) (93,498) ------------- ----------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 816,265 1,451,176 Revisions 10,578 (296,099) Production (49,808) (72,965) ------------- ----------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 777,035 1,082,112 ============= =========== 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.

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 19 1035 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 $12,935,000. 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.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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. -2- 1046 PARKER & PARSLEY 88-B CONV., L.P.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 13% to $132,577 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $117,117 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decline in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 2,743 barrels of oil, 940 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 3,500 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,266 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 3,346 barrels of oil, 1,321 barrels of NGLs and 5,699 mcf of gas were sold, or 5,617 BOEs. 6 1052 Of the decrease, 1,125 BOEs are attributable to three wells reaching payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements which reduced the Partnership's net revenue interest in the wells. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.39, or 13%, from $26.41 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $29.80 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $5.63, or 39%, from $14.34 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $19.97 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 428% from $1.73 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $9.14 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $52,042 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $48,254 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $3,788, or 8%. 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 $42,392 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $36,623 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $5,769 increase, or 16%. The increase in production costs was primarily due to higher production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional workover and well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production, offset by a decline in lease operating and production taxes attributable to the wells that reached payout pursuant to the terms of a farmout agreements as noted above. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and administrative costs. During this period, G&A decreased 9% from $3,627 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $3,314 for the same period in 2001. Depletion was $6,336 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $8,004 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $1,668, or 21%. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in oil production of 603 barrels for the period ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000 and positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $23,647 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $15,715 and reductions in working capital of $13,388 and G&A expenses of $313, offset by an 7 1053 increase in production costs of $5,769. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $61,429 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $45,714 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 and workover costs incurred to stimulate well production. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $213 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2001 were due to equipment credits received on active properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were $106,165, of which $1,062 was distributed to the managing general partner and $105,103 to the limited partners. For the same period ended March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $66,905, of which $669 was distributed to the managing general partner and $66,236 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) " Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

(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 1061 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. 8 1062 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $30,771 greater 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: 2000 1999 1998 ----------- ----------- ----------- Net income (loss) per statements of operations $ 327,306 $ 96,268 $ (198,712) Depletion and depreciation provisions for tax reporting purposes less than amounts for financial reporting purposes 23,646 38,232 111,242 Impairment of oil and gas properties for financial reporting purposes - - 156,111 Other, net (1,011) 3,526 477 ---------- ---------- ---------- Net income per Federal income tax returns $ 349,941 $ 138,026 $ 69,118 ========== ========== ========== NOTE 5.

Pioneer USA, Parker & Parsley 88-B, L.P. and the Partnership (the "Partnerships") are parties to the Program agreement. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnerships as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnerships (2) ------------------- -------------------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable properties 9.09091% 90.90909% All other revenues 24.242425% 75.757575% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs 9.09091% 90.90909% Operating costs, direct costs and general and administrative expenses 24.242425% 75.757575% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level and 20 limited partner interests owned by Pioneer USA. (2) The allocation between the Partnership and Parker & Parsley 88-B, L.P. is 28.880064% and 71.119936%, respectively. 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. Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ------------ Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 214,797 248,651 Revisions (87,571) (74,562) Production (17,610) (21,214) ------------ ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 109,616 152,875 Revisions 152,579 224,938 Production (16,986) (23,221) ------------ ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 245,209 354,592 Revisions 46,611 24,276 Production (18,572) (21,781) ------------ ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 273,248 357,087 ============ ============ 10 1064 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.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 50% 44% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 49% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 3% 5% 17% At December 31, 2000, the amount receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P. was $25,238 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 revenues. 12 1066 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. 13 1067 PARKER & PARSLEY 88-B CONV., L.P. (A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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 1068 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. 1069 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. 1070 PARKER & PARSLEY 88-B CONV., L.P.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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 "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized in 1988 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production in Texas and is not involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. Note 2. Basis of presentation In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements of the Partnership as of March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 13% to $326,397 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $288,612 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 6,753 barrels of oil, 2,315 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 8,631 mcf of gas were sold, or 10,507 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 8,236 barrels of oil, 3,267 barrels of NGLs and 7 1080 14,019 mcf of gas were sold, or 13,840 BOEs. Of the decrease, 2,758 BOEs are attributable to three wells reaching payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements which reduced the Partnership's net revenue interest in the wells. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.39, or 13%, from $26.41 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $29.80 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $5.63, or 39%, from $14.34 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $19.97 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 428% from $1.73 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $9.14 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $128,179 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $118,857 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $9,322, or 8%. The increase was primarily due to an increase in production costs, offset by decreases in depletion and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $104,442 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $90,211 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $14,231 increase, or 16%. The increase in production costs was primarily due to higher production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional workover and well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production, offset by a decline in lease operating and production taxes attributable to the wells that reached payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements as noted above. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and administrative costs. During this period, G&A decreased 9% from $8,938 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $8,160 for the same period in 2001. Depletion was $15,577 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $19,708 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $4,131, or 21%. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in oil production of 1,483 barrels for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000 and positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $61,136 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $38,414 in oil and gas sales receipts and reductions of $778 in G&A expenses and $36,175 in working capital, offset by an increase in production costs of $14,231. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $150,881 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $112,467 resulting from 8 1081 the decline in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional workover and well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's principal investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were for equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $524 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2001 were due to equipment credits received on active properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were $261,441, of which $2,614 was distributed to the managing general partner and $258,827 to the limited partners. For the same period ended March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $164,763, of which $1,648 was distributed to the managing general partner and $163,115 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 18, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The preliminary proxy statement is non-binding and is subject to, among other things, consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its assets, the majority approval of the limited partners in each partnership and the resolution of SEC review comments. If approved, Pioneer anticipates closing the mergers during the third quarter of 2001. ---------- (1) "Item 2.

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 1085 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. 3 1086 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 6.

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. 5 1088 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 6 1089 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. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities 7 1090 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. 8 1091 ITEM 8.

(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, 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 1098 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.

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. 18 1101 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ---------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 528,956 612,323 Revisions (215,651) (183,598) Production (43,365) (52,254) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 269,940 376,471 Revisions 375,777 553,985 Production (41,830) (57,190) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 603,887 873,266 Revisions 114,704 59,721 Production (45,729) (53,620) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 672,862 879,367 ========== ========== 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.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 18% to $112,186 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $95,029 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 2,158 barrels of oil, 953 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 3,530 mcf of gas were sold, or 3,699 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 2,693 barrels of oil, 1,122 barrels of NGLs and 4,769 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,610 BOEs. Of the decrease, 881 BOEs are attributable to three wells reaching payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements which reduced the Partnership's net revenue interest in the wells. 6 1120 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.74, or 14%, from $26.37 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $30.11 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $5.19, or 36%, from $14.26 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $19.45 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 378% from $1.70 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $8.12 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 three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $45,356 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $43,879 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,477, 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 $35,748 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $34,061 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $1,687 increase, or 5%. 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, offset by a decline in lease operating and production taxes attributable to the wells that reached payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements as noted above. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 32% from $2,851 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $3,766 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $5,842 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $6,967 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $1,125, or 16%. This decrease was primarily due to positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices and a decline in oil production of 535 barrels for the three months ended March 31, 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 $22,812 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $17,346 and a reduction of $8,068 in working capital, offset by increases in production costs of $1,687 and G&A expenses of $915. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $46,804 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $29,458 resulting from the 7 1121 decline in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional workover costs incurred to stimulate well production, offset by a decline in lease operating and production taxes attributable to the wells that reached payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements. The increase in G&A was primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $168 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2001 were due to equipment credits received on one active well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $56,445, of which $564 was distributed to the managing general partner and $55,881 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" 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. 8 1122 PARKER & PARSLEY 88-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 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 1129 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. 8 1130 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $35,215 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

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. 10 1132 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ --------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 181,762 227,096 Revisions (75,078) (70,056) Production (14,859) (19,764) --------- --------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 91,825 137,276 Revisions 124,253 193,483 Production (14,136) (21,119) --------- --------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 201,942 309,640 Revisions 35,970 23,002 Production (15,453) (19,618) --------- --------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 222,459 313,024 ========= ========= 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.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 52% 46% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 51% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 4% 6% 21% 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 12 1134 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 $3,411,000. 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. 13 1135 PARKER & PARSLEY 88-C CONV., L.P. (A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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. 1136 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. 1137 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. 1138 PARKER & PARSLEY 88-C CONV., L.P.

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.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 engages in oil and gas development and production in Texas and is not involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. Note 2. Basis of presentation In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements of the Partnership as of March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 17% to $79,813 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $68,027 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 1,537 barrels of oil, 674 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 2,517 mcf of gas were sold, or 2,631 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 1,930 barrels of oil, 799 barrels of NGLs and 3,392 mcf of 6 1147 gas were sold, or 3,294 BOEs. Of the decrease, 631 BOEs are attributable to three wells reaching payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements which reduced the Partnership's net revenue interest in the wells. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $3.74, or 14%, from $26.37 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $30.11 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $5.19, or 36%, from $14.26 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $19.45 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 378% from $1.70 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $8.12 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 three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $32,014 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $31,314 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $700, or 2%. 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 $25,472 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $24,290 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $1,182 increase, or 5%. The increase was primarily due to higher production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional workover costs incurred to stimulate well production, offset by a decline in lease operating and production taxes attributable to the wells that reached payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements as noted above. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 17% from $2,041 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $2,394 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $4,148 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $4,983 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $835, or 17%. This decrease was primarily due to positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices and a decline in oil production of 393 barrels for the three months ended March 31, 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 $15,568 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $11,808 and a reduction of $5,295 in working capital, offset by increases in production costs 7 1148 of $1,182 and G&A expenses of $353. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $33,173 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $21,365 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 workover costs incurred to stimulate well production, offset by a decline in lease operating and production taxes attributable to the wells that reached payout pursuant to the terms of the farmout agreements. The increase in G&A was primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $120 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2001 were due to equipment credits received on one active well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $40,228, of which $402 was distributed to the managing general partner and $39,826 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

(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, 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 1156 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. 8 1157 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $24,633 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

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. 10 1159 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 129,544 161,856 Revisions (53,503) (49,926) Production (10,596) (14,091) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 65,445 97,839 Revisions 88,560 137,904 Production (10,071) (15,049) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 143,934 220,694 Revisions 25,631 16,368 Production (11,023) (13,979) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 158,542 223,083 ======== ======== 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.

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 12 1161 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. 13 1162 PARKER & PARSLEY 88-C, L.P. (A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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. 1163 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. 1164 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. 1165 PARKER & PARSLEY 88-C, L.P.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 31% to $195,445 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $149,416 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received and an increase in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 4,417 barrels of oil, 1,856 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 8,730 mcf of gas were sold, or 7,728 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 3,708 barrels of oil, 2,352 barrels of NGLs and 9,789 mcf of gas were sold, or 7,692 BOEs. 7 1175 The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.58, or 2%, from $27.98 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $27.40 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.04, or 23%, from $13.03 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $16.07 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 234% from $1.53 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.11 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Gain on disposition of assets of $9,859 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2000 resulted from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $91,252 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $91,741 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $489. This decrease was primarily due to a decline production costs, offset by increases in depletion and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $65,335 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $74,634 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $9,299 decrease, or 12%. This decrease was primarily due to less well maintenance costs, offset by 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 31% from $4,482 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5,863 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $20,054 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $12,625 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $7,429, or 59%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in oil production of 709 barrels and to a downward revision to proved reserves on one well for the period ended March 31, 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 $40,233 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $45,652 in oil and gas sales receipts and a decline in production costs of $9,299, offset by increases in G&A expenses of $1,381 and working capital of $13,337. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $39,603 to oil and gas receipts and $6,049 resulting from an increase in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The decrease in production costs was primarily due to less well maintenance costs, offset by an increase in production taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and. The increase in G&A was primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. 8 1176 Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities Proceeds from asset dispositions of $9,859 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2000 resulted from equipment credits received on one fully depleted well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $124,431, of which $1,244 was distributed to the managing general partner and $123,187 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.

BUSINESS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO ACHIEVE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. 1179 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 1180 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. 3 1181 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 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA The following table sets forth selected financial data for the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 1997 1996 ----------- ---------- ----------- ---------- ---------- Operating results: Oil and gas sales $ 742,384 $ 495,753 $ 443,496 $ 753,775 $ 938,418 =========== ========== =========== ========== ========== Impairment of oil and gas properties $ - $ 280,950 $ - $ 6,231 $ - =========== ========== =========== ========== ========== Net income (loss) $ 357,190 $ (111,304) $ (13,621) $ 255,412 $ 424,569 =========== ========== =========== ========== ========== Allocation of net income (loss): Managing general partner $ 3,572 $ (1,113) $ (136) $ 2,554 $ 4,246 =========== ========== =========== ========== ========== Limited partners $ 353,618 $ (110,191) $ (13,485) $ 252,858 $ 420,323 =========== ========== =========== ========== ========== Limited partners' net income (loss) per limited partnership interest $ 31.51 $ (9.82) $ (1.20) $ 22.53 $ 37.46 =========== ========== =========== ========== ========== Limited partners' cash distributions per limited partnership interest $ 40.81 $ 14.72 $ 24.99 $ 50.52 $ 45.09 =========== ========== =========== ========== ========== At year end: ------------ Identifiable assets $ 1,505,780 $1,613,628 $ 1,884,917 $2,212,937 $2,491,855 =========== ========== =========== ========== ========== 4 1182 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 activities. 5 1183 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 1184 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. 7 1185 ITEM 8.

(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 1192 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. 15 1193 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: 2000 1999 1998 --------- --------- -------- Net income (loss) per statements of operations $ 357,190 $(111,304) $(13,621) Depletion and depreciation provisions for tax reporting purposes less than (greater than) amounts for financial reporting purposes (55,096) 24,264 26,047 Impairment of oil and gas properties for financial reporting purposes - 280,950 - Other (247) (441) 441 --------- --------- -------- Net income per Federal income tax returns $ 301,847 $ 193,469 $ 12,867 ========= ========= ======== NOTE 5.

Pioneer USA, P&P Employees Producing Properties 88-A ("EMPL") and the Partnership are parties to the Program agreement. EMPL is a general partnership organized for the benefit of certain employees of Pioneer USA. EMPL was merged with Pioneer USA on December 28, 2000. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnership as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnership --------------- ----------- Revenues: Revenues from oil and gas production, proceeds from sales of producing properties and all other revenues: Before payout 4.040405% 95.959595% After payout (2) 19.191920% 80.808080% Costs and expenses: Property acquisition costs, operating costs, general and administrative expenses and other costs: Before payout 4.040405% 95.959595% After payout (2) 19.191920% 80.808080% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level and 78 limited partner interests owned by Pioneer USA. (2) The Partnership reached payout in September 1997. 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. 17 1195 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ -------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 563,684 808,875 Revisions (105,464) (18,612) Production (34,491) (51,099) --------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 423,729 739,164 Revisions 113,184 157,201 Production (30,280) (44,467) --------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 506,633 851,898 Revisions (52,176) (249,428) Production (26,976) (37,939) --------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 427,481 564,531 ======== ======== 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. 18 1196 For the years ended December 31, ------------------------------------ 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- ------- (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 13,506 $ 12,421 $ 4,629 Future production costs (6,711) (5,947) (3,105) -------- -------- ------- 6,795 6,474 1,524 10% annual discount factor (3,537) (3,486) (609) -------- -------- ------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 3,258 $ 2,988 $ 915 ======== ======== ======= For the years ended December 31, ----------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ------- ------- ------- (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $ (420) $ (258) $ (191) Net changes in prices and production costs 906 2,308 (1,425) Revisions of previous quantity estimates (564) 836 (152) Accretion of discount 299 92 244 Changes in production rates, timing and other 49 (905) (5) ------- ------- ------- Change in present value of future net revenues 270 2,073 (1,529) ------- ------- ------- Balance, beginning of year 2,988 915 2,444 ------- ------- ------- Balance, end of year $ 3,258 $ 2,988 $ 915 ======= ======= ======= NOTE 8.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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. -2- 1208 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 88, L.P.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 24% to $339,232 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $274,206 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 7,599 barrels of oil, 2,038 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 14,638 mcf of gas were sold, or 12,077 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three 6 1214 months ended March 31, 2000, 7,128 barrels of oil, 3,764 barrels of NGLs and 15,649 mcf of gas were sold, or 13,500 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.71, or 3%, from $27.22 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $27.93 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.83, or 34%, from $14.02 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.85 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 246% from $1.75 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6.05 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 three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $148,646 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $139,911 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $8,735, or 6%. 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 $121,120 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $110,748 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $10,372 increase, or 9%. 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 3% from $8,226 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $8,481 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $19,045 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $20,937 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $1,892, or 9%. This decrease was primarily due to positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $69,275 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $65,272 and a reduction in working capital of $14,630, offset by increases in production costs of $10,372 and G&A expenses of $255. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $90,763 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $25,491 resulting from the 7 1215 decline in production during 2001 as compared to 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $467 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2000 were due to equipment credits received on one active well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were $236,965, of which $2,370 was distributed to the managing general partner and $234,595 to the limited partners. For the same period ended March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $160,897, of which $1,609 was distributed to the managing general partner and $159,288 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" 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. 8 1216 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 88, L.P.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Parker & Parsley Private Investment 88, 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.

(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 1223 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 1224 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. 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: 2000 1999 1998 --------- --------- ------- Net income (loss) per statements of operations $ 789,392 $ 287,153 $(199,355) Depletion and depreciation provisions for tax reporting purposes less than amounts for financial reporting purposes 67,335 130,790 319,019 Impairment of oil and gas properties for financial reporting purposes - - 118,049 Other, net (1,469) 221 78 --------- --------- ------- Net income per Federal income tax returns $ 855,258 $ 418,164 $ 237,791 ========= ========= ========= NOTE 5.

Pioneer USA and the Partnership are parties to the Program agreement. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnership as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnership --------------- ----------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable properties 9.09091% 90.90909% All other revenues 24.242425% 75.757575% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs and all other costs 9.09091% 90.90909% Operating costs, direct costs and general and administrative expenses 24.242425% 75.757575% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level. 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. 10 1226 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 642,625 841,260 Revisions (223,184) (203,072) Production (48,933) (61,718) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 370,508 576,470 Revisions 353,229 566,412 Production (48,802) (66,701) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 674,935 1,076,181 Revisions 142,138 (79,131) Production (46,284) (59,532) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 770,789 937,518 ========== ========== 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 $7.86 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. 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.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 55% 52% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 63% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 4% 5% 21% At December 31, 2000, the amount receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P. was $52,075 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. The managing general partner is also responsible for 12 1228 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. 13 1229 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 88, L.P. (A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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 1230 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. 1231 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.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 36% to $110,224 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $81,009 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received and an increase in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 2,177 barrels of oil, 839 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 5,605 mcf of gas were sold, or 3,950 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 2,078 barrels of oil, 1,072 barrels of NGLs and 4,757 mcf of gas were sold, or 3,943 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.62, or 2%, from $27.48 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.10 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.52, or 25%, from 6 1241 $13.84 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $17.36 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 223% from $1.91 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6.16 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Gain on disposition of assets of $3,713 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from equipment salvage received on one well plugged and abandoned during the current period. Abandoned property costs of $2,335 were incurred to plug and abandon this well. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $45,636 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $40,176 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $5,460, or 14%. This increase was due to increases in abandoned property costs, production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion. Production costs were $33,385 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $31,408 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $1,977 increase, or 6%. 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 60% from $2,441 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $3,912 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $6,004 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $6,327 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $323, or 5%. This decrease was primarily due to downward revisions to proved reserves on several wells during the three months ended March 31, 2001, offset by an increase in oil production of 99 barrels for the period ended March 31, 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 $30,127 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $29,329 and a reduction in working capital of $6,581, offset by increases in production costs of $1,977, G&A expenses of $1,471 and abandoned property costs of $2,335. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $25,364 to oil and gas receipts and $3,965 resulting from the increase in production during 2001 as compared to the 7 1242 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 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were $83,321, of which $833 was distributed to the managing general partner and $82,488 to the limited partners. For the same period ended March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $50,740, of which $507 was distributed to the managing general partner and $50,233 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" 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. 8 1243 PARKER & PARSLEY 89-A 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 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 1250 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 8 1251 Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment provision of $6,198 and $103,108 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 $52,175 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

Pioneer USA, P&P Employees 89-A Conv., Ltd. ("EMPL"), Parker & Parsley 89-A, L.P. and the Partnership (the "Partnerships") are parties to the Program agreement. EMPL is a limited partnership organized for the benefit of certain employees of Pioneer USA. EMPL was merged with Pioneer USA on December 28, 2000, The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnerships as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnerships (2) --------------- ---------------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable and depletable properties - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% All other revenues - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs and all other costs 9.090909% 90.909091% Operating costs, reporting and legal expenses and and general and administrative expenses - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level. (2) The allocation between the Partnership and Parker & Parsley 89-A, L.P. is 25.166457% and 74.833543%, respectively. 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. 10 1253 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ -------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 189,854 326,511 Revisions (83,618) (110,279) Production (14,102) (21,106) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 92,134 195,126 Revisions 106,866 158,479 Production (14,166) (20,484) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 184,834 333,121 Revisions 30,916 (27,906) Production (13,092) (20,057) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 202,658 285,158 ======== ======== 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. 11 1254 For the years ended December 31, --------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ------- ------- ------- (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 6,835 $ 4,546 $ 1,057 Future production costs (3,367) (2,613) (750) ------- ------- ------- 3,468 1,933 307 10% annual discount factor (1,783) (891) (101) ------- ------- ------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 1,685 $ 1,042 $ 206 ======= ======= ======= For the years ended December 31, --------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ------- ------- ------- (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $ (248) $ (123) $ (74) Net changes in prices and production costs 765 461 (511) Revisions of estimated future development costs -- -- -- Revisions of previous quantity estimates 196 720 (138) Accretion of discount 104 20 87 Changes in production rates, timing and other (174) (242) (27) ------- ------- ------- Change in present value of future net revenues 643 836 (663) ------- ------- ------- Balance, beginning of year 1,042 206 869 ------- ------- ------- Balance, end of year $ 1,685 $ 1,042 $ 206 ======= ======= ======= NOTE 8. MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- Plains Marketing, L.P. 63% 62% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 59% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 3% 3% 12% At December 31, 2000, the amount receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P. was $22,502 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 12 1255 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 $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. 13 1256 PARKER & PARSLEY 89-A CONV., L.P. (A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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. 1257 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. 1258 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. 1259 PARKER & PARSLEY 89-A CONV., L.P.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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. -2- 1262 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) Note 1. Organization and nature of operations Parker & Parsley 89-A, L.P. (the "Partnership") is a limited partnership organized in 1989 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production in Texas and is not involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. Note 2. Basis of presentation In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements of the Partnership as of March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 36% to $327,815 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $240,830 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received and a slight increase in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 6,466 barrels of oil, 2,508 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 16,665 mcf of gas were sold, or 11,752 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three 7 1269 months ended March 31, 2000, 6,179 barrels of oil, 3,187 barrels of NGLs and 14,142 mcf of gas were sold, or 11,723 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.62, or 2%, from $27.48 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.10 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.52, or 25%, from $13.84 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $17.36 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 223% from $1.91 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6.16 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Gain on disposition of assets of $11,040 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from equipment salvage received on one well plugged and abandoned during the current period. Abandoned property costs of $8,824 were incurred to plug and abandon this well. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $137,282 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $119,641 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $17,641, or 15%. This increase was due to increases in abandoned property costs, production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion. Production costs were $98,933 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $93,383 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $5,550 increase, or 6%. 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 57%, from $7,458 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $11,707 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $17,818 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $18,800 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $982, or 5%. This decrease was primarily due to downward revisions to proved reserves on several wells during the three months ended March 31, 2001, offset by an increase in oil production of 287 barrels for the period ended March 31, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. 8 1270 Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $90,071 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $87,294 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction in working capital of $21,400, offset by increases in abandoned property costs of $8,824, production costs of $5,550 and G&A expenses of $4,249. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $75,474 to oil and gas receipts and $11,820 resulting from the increase in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The increase in abandoned property costs was due to one well being plugged and abandoned in the current year. 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 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2000 were related to upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $150,878, of which $1,509 was distributed to the managing general partner and $149,369 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. 9 1271 ---------- (1) "Item 2.

ACCORDINGLY, NO ASSURANCES CAN BE GIVEN THAT THE ACTUAL EVENTS AND RESULTS WILL NOT BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. SEE "ITEM 1. BUSINESS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO ACHIEVE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. 1274 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 1275 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 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 1276 PART II 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 6.

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 1278 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 1279 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. 7 1280 ITEM 8.

(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 1287 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. 15 1288 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: 2000 1999 1998 --------- --------- --------- Net income (loss) per statements of operations $ 634,127 $ 231,838 $(444,718) Depletion and depreciation provisions for tax reporting purposes less than amounts for financial reporting purposes 54,665 105,234 336,801 Impairment of oil and gas properties for financial reporting purposes 18,391 - 306,826 Salvage income - - - Other, net (1,709) (3,610) 3,948 --------- --------- --------- Net income per Federal income tax returns $ 705,474 $ 333,462 $ 202,857 ========= ========= ========= NOTE 5.

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. Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ -------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 564,653 971,094 Revisions (248,699) (328,006) Production (41,931) (62,751) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 274,023 580,337 Revisions 317,834 471,328 Production (42,129) (60,905) -------- -------- 17 1290 Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 549,728 990,760 Revisions 91,729 (83,266) Production (38,923) (59,638) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 602,534 847,856 ======== ======== 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.

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.

In return, it is allocated 1% of the Partnership's revenues.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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. -2- 1303 PARKER & PARSLEY 89-B CONV., L.P.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 22% to $242,302 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $198,773 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 4,701 barrels of oil, 1,784 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 12,480 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,565 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months 6 1309 ended March 31, 2000, 5,036 barrels of oil, 2,823 barrels of NGLs and 11,218 mcf of gas were sold, or 9,729 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.28, or 5%, from $27.13 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.41 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.56, or 31%, from $14.82 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $19.38 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 232% from $1.79 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.95 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 three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $112,177 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $103,469 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $8,708, or 8%. This increase was due to increases in depletion, production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $85,210 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $82,217 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $2,993 increase, or 4%. The increase was 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 41% from $5,963 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $8,379 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $18,588 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $15,289 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $3,299, or 22%. This increase was primarily due to downward revisions to proved reserves on several wells for the three months ended March 31, 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 $52,389 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $43,781 and a reduction of $14,017 in working capital, offset by increases in production costs of $2,993 and G&A expenses of $2,416. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an 7 1310 additional $65,914 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $22,133 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 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $90,992, of which $910 was distributed to the managing general partner and $90,082 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" 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. 8 1311 PARKER & PARSLEY 89-B 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 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 1318 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 1319 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $191,325 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

Pioneer USA and P&P Employees 89-B Conv., L.P. ("EMPL"), Parker & Parsley 89-B, L.P. and the Partnership (the "Partnerships") are parties to the Program agreement. EMPL is a limited partnership organized for the benefit of certain employees of Pioneer USA. EMPL was merged with Pioneer USA on December 28, 2000. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnerships as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnerships (2) --------------- ---------------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable and depletable properties - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% All other revenues - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs and all other costs 9.090909% 90.909091% Operating costs, reporting and legal expenses and general and administrative expenses - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level and 20 limited partner interests owned by Pioneer USA. (2) The allocation between the Partnership and Parker & Parsley 89-B, L.P. is 47.578455% and 52.421545%, respectively. 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. 10 1321 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ---------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 471,441 734,987 Revisions (202,204) (246,962) Production (35,481) (52,345) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 233,756 435,680 Revisions 267,905 413,961 Production (32,585) (46,681) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 469,076 802,960 Revisions 1,942 (157,459) Production (30,959) (42,179) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 440,059 603,322 ========== ========== 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.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 55% 51% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 59% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 4% 6% 26% At December 31, 2000, the amount receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P. 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 1323 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. 13 1324 PARKER & PARSLEY 89-B CONV., L.P. (A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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. 1325 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 1326 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. 1327 PARKER & PARSLEY 89-B CONV., L.P.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 22% to $266,742 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $218,705 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 5,173 barrels of oil, 1,967 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 13,738 mcf of gas were sold, or 9,430 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 5,544 barrels of oil, 3,112 barrels of NGLs and 12,352 mcf of gas were sold, or 10,715 BOEs. 6 1336 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.28, or 5%, from $27.13 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.41 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.56, or 31%, from $14.82 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $19.38 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 232% from $1.79 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.95 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 three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $123,577 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $113,966 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $9,611, or 8%. This increase was due to increases in depletion, production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $93,860 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $90,560 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $3,300 increase, or 4%. The increase was 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 40% from $6,561 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $9,217 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $20,500 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 compared to $16,845 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $3,655, or 22%. This increase was primarily due to downward revisions to proved reserves on several wells for the three months ended March 31, 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 $57,693 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $48,294 and a reduction of $15,355 in working capital, offset by increases in production costs of $3,300 and G&A expenses of $2,656. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $72,787 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $24,493 resulting from the decline in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The 7 1337 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 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $100,255, of which $1,003 was distributed to the managing general partner and $99,252 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

(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 1345 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. 8 1346 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $211,364 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

Pioneer USA, P&P Employees 89-B Conv., L.P. ("EMPL") Parker & Parsley 89-B Conv., L.P. and the Partnership (the "Partnerships") are parties to the Program agreement. EMPL is a limited partnership organized for the benefit of certain employees of Pioneer USA. EMPL was merged with Pioneer USA on December 28, 2000. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnerships as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnerships (2) --------------- ---------------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable and depletable properties - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% All other revenues - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs and all other costs 9.090909% 90.909091% Operating costs, reporting and legal expenses and general and administrative expenses - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level and 72 limited partner interests owned by Pioneer USA. (2) The allocation between the Partnership and Parker & Parsley 89-B Conv., L.P. is 52.421545% and 47.578455%, respectively. 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. 10 1348 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ -------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 519,501 809,915 Revisions (222,853) (272,177) Production (39,063) (57,643) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 257,585 480,095 Revisions 295,189 456,122 Production (35,879) (51,400) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 516,895 884,817 Revisions 1,443 (174,232) Production (34,089) (46,454) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 484,249 664,131 ======== ======== 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. 11 1349 For the years ended December 31, ------------------------------------ 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 15,796 $ 12,909 $ 2,874 Future production costs (8,335) (7,619) (2,162) -------- -------- -------- 7,461 5,290 712 10% annual discount factor (3,705) (2,457) (247) -------- -------- -------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 3,756 $ 2,833 $ 465 ======== ======== ======== For the years ended December 31, --------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ------- ------- ------- (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $ (602) $ (260) $ (163) Net changes in prices and production costs 1,674 1,262 (1,263) Revisions of previous quantity estimates (185) 1,931 (311) Accretion of discount 283 47 208 Changes in production rates, timing and other (247) (612) (84) ------- ------- ------- Change in present value of future net revenues 923 2,368 (1,613) ------- ------- ------- Balance, beginning of year 2,833 465 2,078 ------- ------- ------- Balance, end of year $ 3,756 $ 2,833 $ 465 ======= ======= ======= NOTE 8. MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 ---- ---- ---- Plains Marketing, L.P. 55% 51% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 59% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 4% 6% 26% At December 31, 2000, the amount receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P. was $41,588 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 12 1350 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. 13 1351 PARKER & PARSLEY 89-B, L.P. (A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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. 1352 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 1353 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. 1354 PARKER & PARSLEY 89-B, L.P.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 32% to $249,447 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $188,721 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received and an increase in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 5,909 barrels of oil, 1,619 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 11,008 mcf of gas were sold, or 9,363 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended 6 1363 March 31, 2000, 5,867 barrels of oil, 1,854 barrels of NGLs and 6,473 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,800 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.69, or 3%, from $26.78 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $27.47 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $5.15, or 44%, from $11.59 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $16.74 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 249% from $1.56 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.45 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $174,906 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $98,843 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $76,063, or 77%. This increase was primarily due to increases in production costs, general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion. Production costs were $144,855 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $78,434 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $66,421 increase, or 85%. The increase was due to additional workover 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 54% from $5,662 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $8,710 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $21,341 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $14,747 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $6,594, or 45%. This increase was primarily due to a downward revision to proved reserves on one well. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $32,158 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This decrease was due to increases in production costs of $66,421, G&A expenses of $3,048 and working capital of $23,477, offset by an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $60,788. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from 7 1364 the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $38,843 to oil and gas receipts and $21,945 resulting from the 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 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $158 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2000 were due to equipment credits received on one active well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $94,968, of which $950 was distributed to the managing general partner and $94,018 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" 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. 8 1365 1366 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 89, L.P. (A Delaware Limited Partnership) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WITH INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT December 31, 2000 and 1999 1367 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT The Partners Parker & Parsley Private Investment 89, L.P. (A Delaware Limited Partnership): We have audited the balance sheets of Parker & Parsley Private Investment 89, 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.

(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 1373 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. 8 1374 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $49,559 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

Pioneer USA, P&P Employees 89 Private Conv., L.P. ("EMPL") and the Partnership are parties to the Program agreement. EMPL is a limited partnership organized for the benefit of certain employees of Pioneer USA. EMPL was merged with Pioneer USA on December 28, 2000. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnership as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnership --------------- ----------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable and depletable properties - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After three years 19.191919% 80.808081% All other revenues - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After three years 19.191919% 80.808081% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs 9.090909% 90.909091% Operating costs, reporting and legal expenses and general and administrative expenses - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After three years 19.191919% 80.808081% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level. 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. Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ -------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 480,284 559,912 Revisions (179,534) (180,570) Production (36,741) (44,624) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 264,009 334,718 Revisions 227,645 277,954 Production (30,310) (32,985) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 461,344 579,687 Revisions 37,767 (55,380) Production (30,738) (30,037) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 468,373 494,270 ======== ======== 10 1376 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.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 65% 64% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 57% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 1% 3% 15% GPM Gas Corporation 3% 3% 5% At December 31, 2000, the amount receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P. was $48,161 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 revenues. 12 1378 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. 13 1379 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 89, L.P. (A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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. 1380 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 1381 $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. 1382 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 89, L.P.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 29% to $81,855 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $63,489 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 1,635 barrels of oil, 533 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 4,098 mcf of gas were sold, or 2,851 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 1,650 barrels of oil, 877 barrels of NGLs and 3,430 mcf of gas were sold, or 3,099 BOEs. 6 1391 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.00, or 4%, from $27.38 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.38 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $5.61, or 41%, from $13.78 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $19.39 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 236% from $1.82 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6.12 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 three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $36,428 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $33,586 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $2,842, 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 $26,631 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $24,535 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $2,096 increase, or 9%. 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. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 54% from $1,913 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $2,954 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $6,843 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $7,138 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $295, or 4%. This decrease was primarily due to positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $17,783 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $18,395 and a reduction in working capital of $2,525, offset by increases in production costs of $2,096 and G&A expenses of $1,041. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an 7 1392 additional $21,406 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $3,011 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. 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $30,267 of which $303 was distributed to the managing general partner and $29,964 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" 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. 8 1393 PARKER & PARSLEY 90-A CONV., L.P.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership): We have audited the balance sheets of Parker & Parsley 90-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 90-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.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) 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 1400 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. 8 1401 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $109,150 greater 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: 2000 1999 1998 --------- --------- --------- Net income (loss) per statements of operations $135,356 $34,513 $(15,498) Depletion and depreciation for tax reporting purposes less than amounts for financial reporting purposes 23,651 33,412 51,723 Impairment of oil and gas properties for financial reporting purposes -- -- 11,795 Other, net (403) 1,343 1,229 --------- --------- --------- Net income per Federal income tax returns $158,604 $69,268 $49,249 ========= ========= ========= NOTE 5.

Pioneer USA, P&P Employees 90-A Conv., L.P. ("EMPL"), Parker & Parsley 90-A, L.P. and the Partnership are parties to the Program agreement. EMPL is a limited partnership organized for the benefit of certain employees of Pioneer USA. EMPL was merged with Pioneer USA on December 28, 2000. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnerships as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnerships (2) --------------- ---------------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable and depletable properties - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% All other revenues - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs 9.090909% 90.909091% Operating costs, reporting and legal expenses and general and administrative expenses - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level and 14 limited partner interests owned by Pioneer USA. (2) The allocation between the Partnership and Parker & Parsley 90-A, L.P. is 25.725191% and 74.274809%, respectively. 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. 10 1403 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ---------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 137,987 205,757 Revisions (49,089) (52,907) Production (11,399) (16,309) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 77,499 136,541 Revisions 71,585 121,688 Production (10,130) (14,989) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 138,954 243,240 Revisions 6,057 (59,715) Production (9,876) (13,365) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 135,135 170,160 ========== ========== 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.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 54% 51% - TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC 12% 11% - NGTS LLC 10% 10% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 57% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 2% 5% 22% At December 31, 2000, the amounts receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P., TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC and NGTS LLC were $13,068, $2,535 and $1,423, 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 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 1405 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. 13 1406 PARKER & PARSLEY 90-A CONV., L.P. (A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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 1407 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 1408 $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.

(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 or before July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 engages in oil and gas development and production in Texas and is not involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. Note 2. Basis of presentation In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial statements of the Partnership as of March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 29% to $236,358 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $183,303 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by declines in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 4,722 barrels of oil, 1,543 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 11,838 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,238 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 4,767 barrels of oil, 2,523 barrels of NGLs and 9,897 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,940 BOEs. 7 1419 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.00, or 4%, from $27.38 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.38 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $5.61, or 41%, from $13.78 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $19.39 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 236% from $1.82 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6.12 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 three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $105,172 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $97,129 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $8,043, or 8%. 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 $76,877 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $70,816 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $6,061 increase, or 9%. 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 51% from $5,681 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $8,561 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $19,734 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $20,632 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $898, or 4%. This decrease was primarily due to positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $51,822 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $53,129 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction of $7,634 in working capital, offset by increases in production costs of $6,061 and G&A expenses of $2,880. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $61,531 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $8,402 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 8 1420 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 the accrual of tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's principal investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were for expenditures related to oil and gas equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $87,388, of which $874 was distributed to the managing general partner and $86,514 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 18, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement with the SEC proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The preliminary proxy statement is non-binding and is subject to, among other things, consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its assets, the majority approval of the limited partners in each partnership and the resolution of SEC review comments. If approved, Pioneer anticipates closing the mergers during the third quarter of 2001. ---------- (1) "Item 2.

BUSINESS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO ACHIEVE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. 1423 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 1424 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. 3 1425 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 6.

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. 5 1427 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. 6 1428 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. 7 1429 ITEM 8.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) 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 1436 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. 15 1437 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $315,080 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

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. Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ----------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 398,405 594,075 Revisions (141,729) (152,757) Production (32,915) (47,086) ------------ ----------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 223,761 394,232 Revisions 206,682 351,371 Production (29,248) (43,302) ------------ ----------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 401,195 702,301 Revisions 21,424 (168,710) Production (28,519) (38,570) ------------ ----------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 394,100 495,021 ========== ========== 17 1439 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.

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.

In return, it is allocated 1% of the Partnership's revenues. 19 1441 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.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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. -2- 1452 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 28% to $424,735 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $330,703 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decline in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 8,755 barrels of oil, 3,239 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 18,996 mcf of gas were sold, or 15,160 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 8,990 barrels of oil, 3,979 barrels of NGLs and 15,621 mcf of gas were sold, or 15,573 BOEs. 7 1459 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.56, or 6%, from $27.70 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $29.26 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.36, or 31%, from $13.89 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.25 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 243% from $1.68 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.76 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Gains on disposition of assets of $1,975 and $2,023 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, from the sale of equipment on one fully depleted well. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $183,688 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $170,500 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $13,188, or 8%. The increase was due to increases in production costs and general, administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion. Production costs were $143,206 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $133,608 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $9,598 increase, or 7%. 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 34% from $10,132 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $13,562 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $26,920 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $26,760 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $160. The increase was primarily due to downward revisions to proved reserves on several wells during the three months ended March 31, 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 235 barrels for the period ended March 31, 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 $110,603 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $94,446 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction in working capital of $29,185, offset by increases in production costs of $9,598 and G&A expenses of $3,430. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an 8 1460 additional $95,426 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $980 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 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities The Partnership's principal investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were for expenditures related to oil and gas equipment upgrades on active properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $1,975 and $2,023 received during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, were derived from the sale of equipment on one fully depleted well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $180,055, of which $1,801 was distributed to the managing general partner and $178,254 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" 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. SEE "ITEM 1. BUSINESS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO ACHIEVE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. 1464 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 1465 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 3 1466 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 6.

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 1468 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 1469 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 1470 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. 8 1471 ITEM 8.

(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 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. 15 1478 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. 16 1479 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $233,211 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

Pioneer USA, P&P Employees 90-B Conv., L.P. ("EMPL"), Parker & Parsley 90-B, L.P. and the Partnership (the "Partnerships") are parties to the Program agreement. EMPL is a limited partnership organized for the benefit of certain employees of Pioneer USA. EMPL was merged with Pioneer USA on December 28, 2000. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnerships as follows: Pioneer USA(1) Partnerships(2) -------------- --------------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable and depletable properties: First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% All other revenues First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs and all other costs 9.090909% 90.909091% Operating costs, reporting and legal expenses and general and administrative expenses: First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level and 80 limited partner interests owned by Pioneer USA.

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. Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) -------------- ----------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 914,930 864,646 Revisions (446,456) (190,771) Production (58,543) (73,460) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 409,931 600,415 Revisions 435,645 666,249 Production (53,864) (70,803) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 791,712 1,195,861 Revisions 15,019 (155,368) Production (53,388) (64,786) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 753,343 975,707 ======== ======== 18 1481 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.

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 20 1483 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 partners entered into subscription agreements for aggregate capital contributions of $11,897,000. 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.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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 average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.36, or 31%, from $13.89 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.25 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 243% from $1.68 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.76 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Gains on disposition of assets of $5,357 and $5,487 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, were from the sale of equipment on one fully depleted well. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $497,655 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $462,446 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $35,209, or 8%. The increase was due to increases in production costs, general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and depletion. Production costs were $388,370 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $362,344 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $26,026 increase, or 7%. 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 33% from $27,481 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $36,650 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $72,635 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $72,621 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $14. The increase was primarily due to downward revisions to proved reserves on several wells during the three months ended March 31, 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 650 barrels for the period ended March 31, 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 $246,326 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $256,268 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction in working capital of $25,253, offset by increases in production costs of $26,026 and G&A expenses of $9,169. The increase in oil and gas 8 1502 receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $259,260 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $2,992 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 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities The Partnership's principal investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were related to expenditures for upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $5,357 and $5,487 received during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, respectively, were derived from the sale of equipment on one fully depleted well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $488,299, of which $4,883 was distributed to the managing general partner and $483,416 to the limited partners.

ACCORDINGLY, NO ASSURANCES CAN BE GIVEN THAT THE ACTUAL EVENTS AND RESULTS WILL NOT BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT THAN THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. SEE "ITEM 1. BUSINESS" FOR A DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS FACTORS THAT COULD MATERIALLY AFFECT THE ABILITY OF THE PARTNERSHIP TO ACHIEVE THE ANTICIPATED RESULTS DESCRIBED IN THE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS. 1506 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 1507 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. 3 1508 PART II 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 6.

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 1510 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 1511 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. 7 1512 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. 8 1513 ITEM 8.

(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 1520 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. 16 1521 NOTE 4.

Pioneer USA and P&P Employees 90-B Conv., L.P. ("EMPL"), Parker & Parsley 90-B Conv., L.P. and the Partnership (the "Partnerships") are parties to the Program agreement. EMPL is a limited partnership organized for the benefit of certain employees of Pioneer USA. EMPL was merged with Pioneer USA on December 28, 2000. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnerships as follows: Pioneer USA(1) Partnerships(2) -------------- --------------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable and depletable properties First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% All other revenues First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs and all other costs 9.090909% 90.909091% Operating costs, reporting and legal expenses and general and administrative expenses First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level and 83 limited partner interests owned by Pioneer USA.

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. Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ---------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 2,481,201 2,344,959 Revisions (1,210,571) (517,240) Production (158,775) (199,215) ------------ ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 1,111,855 1,628,504 Revisions 1,181,592 1,807,095 Production (146,064) (192,016) ------------ ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 2,147,383 3,243,583 Revisions 46,430 (419,625) Production (144,804) (175,696) ------------ ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 2,049,009 2,648,262 ============ ========== 18 1523 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.

MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 48% 46% - TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC 10% 11% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 58% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 4% 5% 22% Phillips Petroleum Company 10% 5% 5% At December 31, 2000, the amounts receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P., TEPPCO Crude Oil LLC and Phillips Petroleum Company were $177,462, $37,001 and $20,032, 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 20 1525 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.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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. -2- 1536 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 19% to $230,925 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $193,711 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decline in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 5,811 barrels of oil, 859 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 8,151 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,029 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 5,802 barrels of oil, 1,943 barrels of NGLs and 6,434 mcf of gas were sold, or 8,817 BOEs. 7 1543 The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.92, or 3%, from $27.16 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.08 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $6.00, or 46%, from $12.95 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.95 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 270% from $1.71 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6.33 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $117,298 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $103,387 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $13,911, or 13%. This increase was primarily due increases in production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a decline in depletion. Production costs were $95,640 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $83,711 for the same period in 2000, resulting in an increase of $11,929, or 14%. 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 revenues. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 38% from $5,934 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $8,175 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $13,483 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $13,742 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $259, or 2%. This decrease was primarily due to positive revisions to proved reserves on one well during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $39,829 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $37,505 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction in working capital of $16,494, offset by increases in production costs of $11,929 and G&A expenses of $2,241. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $46,902 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $9,397 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 8 1544 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's principal investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 related to expenditures for upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $103,576, of which $1,036 was distributed to the managing general partner and $102,540 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

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 1548 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. 3 1549 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 6.

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 1551 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 1552 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. 7 1553 ITEM 8.

(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 1560 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. 15 1561 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $49,618 less than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

Pioneer USA, P&P Employees 90-C Conv., L.P. ("EMPL"), Parker & Parsley 90-C, L.P. and the Partnership (the "Partnerships") are parties to the Program agreement. EMPL is a limited partnership organized for the benefit of certain employees of Pioneer USA. EMPL was merged with Pioneer USA on December 28, 2000. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnerships as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnerships (2) --------------- ---------------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable and depletable properties - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% All other revenues - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs and all other costs 9.090909% 90.909091% Operating costs, reporting and legal expenses and general and administrative expenses - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After first three years 19.191919% 80.808081% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level and 30 limited partner interests owned by Pioneer USA.

OIL AND GAS INFORMATION (UNAUDITED) The following table represents 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. 17 1563 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ ---------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 424,601 426,720 Revisions (204,124) (171,338) Production (33,187) (30,348) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 187,290 225,034 Revisions 293,912 357,964 Production (32,618) (29,399) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 448,584 553,599 Revisions 50,848 (55,441) Production (32,773) (30,423) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 466,659 467,735 ========== ========== 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. For the years ended December 31, --------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ------------ ------------ ------------ (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 14,206 $ 11,167 $ 2,041 Future production costs (7,840) (6,472) (1,624) ------------ ------------ ------------ 6,366 4,695 417 10% annual discount factor (3,121) (2,211) (116) ------------ ------------ ------------ Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 3,245 $ 2,484 $ 301 ============ ============ ============ 18 1564 For the years ended December 31, --------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ------------ ------------ ------------ (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $ (583) $ (241) $ (116) Net changes in prices and production costs 932 1,084 (1,115) Revisions of previous quantity estimates 257 2,216 (238) Accretion of discount 248 30 167 Changes in production rates, timing and other (93) (906) (65) ------------ ------------ ------------ Change in present value of future net revenues 761 2,183 (1,367) ------------ ------------ ------------ Balance, beginning of year 2,484 301 1,668 ------------ ------------ ------------ Balance, end of year $ 3,245 $ 2,484 $ 301 ============ ============ ============ NOTE 8. MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the years ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Plains Marketing, L.P. 64% 62% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 69% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 2% 3% 13% At December 31, 2000, the amount receivable from Plains Marketing, L.P. was $48,722 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 Program and Partnership affairs.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION TABLE Aggregate Initial Investment by the Limited Partners(a) $ 12,107 Aggregate Historical Limited Partner Distributions through July 31, 2001(a) $ 7,958 Merger Value Attributable to Partnership Interests of Limited Partners, Excluding Pioneer USA(a), (b) $ 2,939 Merger Value per $1,000 Limited Partner Investment(b), (c) $ 243.26 Merger Value per $1,000 Limited Partner Investment as a Multiple of Distributions for 3.31 times the past four quarterly distributions including the distribution in July 2001(b), (c) Book Value per $1,000 Limited Partner Investment: -- as of March 31, 2001(c) $ 125.95 -- as of December 31, 2000(c) $ 131.96 Going Concern Value per $1,000 Limited Partner Investment(c), (d) $ 225.46 Liquidation Value per $1,000 Limited Partner Investment(c), (e) $ 236.05 Ordinary Tax Loss per $1,000 Limited Partner Investment in Year of Initial Investment(c), (f) $ 149 ---------- (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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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. -2- 1576 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 19% to $371,240 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $311,387 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decline in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 9,339 barrels of oil, 1,379 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 13,106 mcf of gas were sold, or 12,902 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three 7 1583 months ended March 31, 2000, 9,323 barrels of oil, 3,126 barrels of NGLs and 10,341 mcf of gas were sold, or 14,173 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.92, or 3%, from $27.16 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.08 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $6.00, or 46%, from $12.95 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.95 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 270% from $1.71 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6.33 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $188,490 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $166,213 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $22,277, or 13%. 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 $153,745 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $134,566 for the same period in 2000, resulting in an increase of $19,179, or 14%. 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 37% from $9,539 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $13,096 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 the accrual of tax preparation fees. Depletion was $21,649 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $22,108 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $459, or 2%. This decrease was primarily due to positive revisions to proved reserves on one well during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $67,747 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $60,337 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction in working capital of $30,146, offset by increases in production costs of $19,179 and G&A expenses of $3,557. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which 8 1584 contributed an additional $75,502 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $15,165 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 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 the accrual of tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's principal investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $166,511, of which $1,665 was distributed to the managing general partner and $164,846 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

The following documents are incorporated by reference into the indicated parts of this Annual Report on Form 10-K: None Parts I and II of this annual report on Form 10-K (the "Report") contain forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that the actual events and results will not be materially different than the anticipated results described in the forward looking statements. See "Item 1. Business" for a description of various factors that could materially affect the ability of the Partnership to achieve the anticipated results described in the forward looking statements. 1588 PART I ITEM 1. BUSINESS 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"). Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 12,107 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 liability due to pollution and other environmental damages. Although the Partnership believes that 2 1589 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. 3 1590 PART II 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 6.

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 1592 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 1593 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. 7 1594 ITEM 8.

(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, 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 1601 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. 15 1602 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.

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.

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.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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. -2- 1617 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 90, L.P.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS March 31, 2001 (Unaudited) 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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 18% to $396,909 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $337,608 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decline in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 9,409 barrels of oil, 2,026 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 14,913 mcf of gas were sold, or 13,921 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three 6 1623 months ended March 31, 2000, 9,901 barrels of oil, 3,207 barrels of NGLs and 12,754 mcf of gas were sold, or 15,234 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $1.00, or 4%, from $27.27 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.27 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $5.75, or 41%, from $14.06 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $19.81 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 244% from $1.77 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6.09 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 three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $154,949 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $154,508 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $441. 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 $120,499 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $112,552 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $7,947 increase, or 7%. 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 16% from $10,128 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $11,777 for the same period in 2001 primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees Depletion was $22,673 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $31,828 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $9,155, or 29%. This decrease was due to positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices and a decline in oil production of 492 barrels for the three months ended March 31, 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 $101,717 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $59,795 and a reduction in working capital of $51,518, offset by increases in production costs of $7,947 and G&A expenses of $1,649. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an 7 1624 additional $83,969 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $24,174 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. The increase in G&A was primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $166,714, of which $1,667 was distributed to the managing general partner and $165,047 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

(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 1632 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. 8 1633 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $139,996 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 by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent petroleum consultant, using criteria established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ --------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 745,340 883,417 Revisions (342,345) (365,103) Production (49,468) (54,218) --------- --------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 353,527 464,096 Revisions 394,885 538,864 Production (46,335) (47,331) --------- --------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 702,077 955,629 Revisions 172,617 (96,553) Production (52,913) (49,484) --------- --------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 821,781 809,592 ========= ========= 10 1635 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.

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 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 1637 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. 13 1638 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 90, L.P. (A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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 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. 1639 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. 1640 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. 1641 PARKER & PARSLEY PRIVATE INVESTMENT 90, L.P.

(the "Partnership") as of March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain information and footnote disclosure 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, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 37% to $183,614 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $133,917 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received and an increase in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 4,046 barrels of oil, 1,147 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 8,177 mcf of gas were 6 1650 sold, or 6,556 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 4,139 barrels of oil, 1,076 barrels of NGLs and 3,949 mcf of gas were sold, or 5,873 BOEs. The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.97, or 4%, from $26.99 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $27.96 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $4.80, or 33%, from $14.49 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $19.29 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 252% from $1.68 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $5.91 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 three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $68,475 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $76,232 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $7,757, or 10%. This decrease was primarily due to declines in depletion and production costs, offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $53,740 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $58,485 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $4,745 decrease, or 8%. The decrease was due to lower well maintenance costs, offset by 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 46% from $4,365 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6,374 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 the accrual for tax preparation fees. Depletion was $8,361 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $13,382 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $5,021, or 38%. This decrease was primarily due to positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices and a decline in oil production of 93 barrels for the period ended March 31, 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 $44,947 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. This increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $49,637 and a 7 1651 decrease in production costs of $4,745, offset by an increase in G&A expenses of $2,009 and working capital of $7,426. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $25,873 to oil and gas receipts and $23,764 resulting from an increase in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The decrease in production costs was due to lower well maintenance costs, offset by 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 the accrual of tax preparation fees. Net Cash Used in Investing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 2000, the Partnership's investing activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on active oil and gas properties. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $87,613, of which $876 was distributed to the managing general partner and $86,737 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" contains forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

(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 1659 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. 8 1660 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $43,760 greater than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

Pioneer USA, P&P Employees 90 Spraberry Private Conv., L.P. ("EMPL") and the Partnership are parties to the Program agreement. EMPL is a limited partnership organized for the benefit of certain employees of Pioneer USA. EMPL was merged with Pioneer USA on December 28, 2000. The costs and revenues of the Program are allocated to Pioneer USA and the Partnership as follows: Pioneer USA (1) Partnership --------------- ----------- Revenues: Proceeds from disposition of depreciable and depletable properties - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After three years 19.191919% 80.808081% All other revenues - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After three years 19.191919% 80.808081% Costs and expenses: Lease acquisition costs, drilling and completion costs 9.090909% 90.909091% Operating costs, reporting and legal expenses and general and administrative expenses - First three years 14.141414% 85.858586% After three years 19.191919% 80.808081% (1) Excludes Pioneer USA's 1% general partner ownership which is allocated at the Partnership level. 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. 10 1662 Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------ -------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 270,590 306,642 Revisions (126,717) (142,535) Production (20,835) (24,095) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 123,038 140,012 Revisions 214,995 265,098 Production (20,688) (19,579) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 317,345 385,531 Revisions 122,969 18,001 Production (22,593) (22,121) -------- -------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 417,721 381,411 ======== ======== 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.

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 1664 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. 13 1665 PARKER & PARSLEY 90 SPRABERRY PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT, L.P. (A DELAWARE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP) 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. 1666 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. 1667 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. 1668 PARKER & PARSLEY 90 SPRABERRY PRIVATE DEVELOPMENT, L.P.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses.

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.

(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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 7% to $452,460 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $424,423 for the same period in 2000. The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by a decrease in production. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 10,545 barrels of oil, 2,575 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 19,051 mcf of gas were sold, or 16,295 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 11,360 barrels of oil, 4,839 barrels of NGLs and 22,979 mcf of gas were sold, or 20,029 BOEs. 7 1678 The average price received per barrel of oil increased slightly from $27.88 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $27.99 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.21, or 9%, from $13.65 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $14.86 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 245% from $1.81 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6.25 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 three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses increased to $215,473 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $206,441 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $9,032, or 4%. 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 $160,852 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $147,769 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $13,083 increase, or 9%. This increase was 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 administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 101% from $10,466 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $21,056 for the same period in 2001. The G&A increase was primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation and monitoring service fees. Depletion was $33,565 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $48,206 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $14,641, or 30%. This decrease was primarily due to positive revisions to proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001 as a result of higher commodity prices, 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 815 barrels for the three months ended March 31, 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 $74,334 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period in 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of $28,204 in oil and gas sales receipts and a reduction in working capital of $69,803, offset by increases in production costs of $13,083 and G&A expenses of $10,590. The increase in oil and gas receipts resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an additional $109,197 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $80,993 resulting from the decline in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. 8 1679 The increase in production costs was primarily due to increased well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production. The G&A increase was primarily due to the accrual for tax preparation and monitoring service fees. Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities The Partnership's principal investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were related to the upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active properties. Proceeds from asset dispositions of $8,812 recognized during 2000 were from equipment credits received on one active well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $243,701, of which $2,437 was distributed to the managing general partner and $241,264 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, requires a 66-2/3% approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Security and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Item 2.

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 1683 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. 3 1684 PART II 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 6.

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 1686 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 1687 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. 7 1688 ITEM 8.

(A Delaware Limited Partnership) 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 1695 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. 15 1696 NOTE 4.

Pioneer USA, P&P Employees 91-A GP ("EMPL") and the Partnership are parties to the Program agreement. EMPL is a general partnership organized for the benefit of certain employees of Pioneer USA. EMPL was merged with Pioneer USA on December 28, 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. Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ------------- ------------ Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 909,941 1,063,660 Revisions (333,709) (228,660) Production (70,623) (108,617) ------------- ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 505,609 726,383 Revisions 430,559 692,465 Production (64,820) (100,615) ------------- ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 871,348 1,318,233 Revisions 171,624 199,837 Production (64,129) (94,315) ------------- ------------ Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 978,843 1,423,755 ============= ============ 17 1698 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.

(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 or about July 9, 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) partnership level general and administrative expenses. (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 (1) the partnership's pro rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (2) 3% of the partnership's reserve value. 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. -2- 1711 UNITED STATES SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D.

(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 March 31, 2001 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been made to the March 31, 2000 financial statements to conform to the March 31, 2001 financial statement presentations. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted in this Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, 1400 Williams Square West, Irving, Texas 75039-3746. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations(1) Results of Operations Revenues: The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 16% to $381,877 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $453,588 for the same period in 2000. The decrease in revenues resulted from a decrease in production, offset by higher average prices received. For the three months ended March 31, 2001, 9,590 barrels of oil, 2,009 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 10,623 mcf of gas were sold, or 13,370 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the three months ended March 31, 2000, 12,062 barrels of oil, 4,976 barrels of NGLs and 19,802 mcf of gas were sold, or 20,338 BOEs. 7 1718 The average price received per barrel of oil increased slightly from $28.53 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $28.83 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.34, or 22%, from $15.13 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $18.47 for the same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 272% from $1.73 during the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $6.43 for the same period in 2001. The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Costs and Expenses: Total costs and expenses decreased to $164,549 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $179,125 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $14,576, or 8%. This decrease was primarily due to declines in production costs and depletion, offset by an increase in general and administrative expenses ("G&A"). Production costs were $124,783 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 and $145,956 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $21,173 decrease, or 15%. The decrease was primarily due to lower well maintenance and workover costs. G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing general partner personnel and administrative costs. During this period, G&A increased 60% from $11,204 for the three months ended March 31, 2000 to $17,982 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation and monitoring service fees. Depletion was $21,784 for the three months ended March 31, 2001 as compared to $21,965 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $181, or 1%. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in oil production of 2,472 barrels for the period ended March 31, 2001 compared to the same period in 2000, offset by a downward revision to one well's proved reserves during the three months ended March 31, 2001. Liquidity and Capital Resources Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Net cash provided by operating activities increased $80,977 during the three months ended March 31, 2001 from the same period ended March 31, 2000. The increase was primarily attributable to reductions of $138,184 in working capital and production costs of $21,173, offset by a decline in oil and gas sales receipts of $71,602 and an increase in G&A expenses of $6,778. The decrease in production costs was primarily due to lower well maintenance and workover costs. The decrease in oil and gas receipts resulted from $185,099 from the decline in production during 2001, offset by $113,497 from the increase in commodity prices during 2001. The increase in G&A was primarily due to an increase in the accrual for tax preparation and monitoring service fees. 8 1719 Net Cash Used in Investing Activities The Partnership's investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2001 and 2000 were related to the upgrades of oil and gas equipment on active properties. Proceeds from disposition of assets of $133 recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2001 were related to equipment credits on one active well. Net Cash Used in Financing Activities For the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2000, cash distributions to the partners were $248,545, of which $2,485 was distributed to the managing general partner and $246,060 to the limited partners. Proposal to acquire partnerships On April 17, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission proposing an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and the limited partners of 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge with and into Pioneer USA, and the partnership interests of each such partnership will be converted into the right to receive cash and Pioneer common stock. Pioneer USA is the sole or managing general partner of the partnerships. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships being requested 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, requires 66-2/3% approval of the limited partnership interests in each partnership and the resolution of Securities and Exchange Commission review comments. No solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. ---------- (1) "Item 2.

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 1723 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. 3 1724 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 6.

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. 5 1726 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. 6 1727 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. 7 1728 ITEM 8.

(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 1735 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. 15 1736 NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and liabilities was $367,378 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 by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent petroleum consultant, using criteria established by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Oil and NGLs Gas (bbls) (mcf) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at January 1, 1998 803,868 767,367 Revisions (224,362) (91,817) Production (66,527) (68,244) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1998 512,979 607,306 Revisions 550,155 821,693 Production (65,056) (74,025) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 1999 998,078 1,354,974 Revisions 113,248 (43,847) Production (69,550) (85,556) ---------- ---------- Net proved reserves at December 31, 2000 1,041,776 1,225,571 ========== ========== 17 1738 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. For the years ended December 31, ------------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- (in thousands) Oil and gas producing activities: Future cash inflows $ 33,121 $ 24,943 $ 5,585 Future production costs (15,838) (13,003) (4,101) ------------- ------------ ------------- 17,283 11,940 1,484 10% annual discount factor (8,919) (6,088) (509) ------------- ------------ ------------- Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows $ 8,364 $ 5,852 $ 975 ============== ============= ============== 18 1739 For the years ended December 31, ------------------------------------------------------- 2000 1999 1998 ---------------- ---------------- ---------------- (in thousands) Oil and Gas Producing Activities: Oil and gas sales, net of production costs $ (1,470) $ (694) $ (409) Net changes in prices and production costs 2,610 2,945 (1,842) Revisions of previous quantity estimates 721 4,406 (324) Accretion of discount 585 97 327 Changes in production rates, timing and other 66 (1,877) (45) ------------- ------------ ------------ Change in present value of future net revenues 2,512 4,877 (2,293) ------------- ------------ ------------ Balance, beginning of year 5,852 975 3,268 ------------- ------------ ------------ Balance, end of year $ 8,364 $ 5,852 $ 975 ============== ============= ============= NOTE 8. MAJOR CUSTOMERS The following table reflects the major customers of the Partnership's oil and gas sales (a major customer is defined as a customer whose sales exceed 10% of total sales) during the periods ended December 31: 2000 1999 1998 -------- -------- -------- Mobil Oil Corporation 48% 48% 48% Plains Marketing, L.P. 22% 23% - Genesis Crude Oil, L.P. - - 26% Western Gas Resources, Inc. 4% 6% 22% At December 31, 2000, the amounts receivable from Mobil Oil Corporation and Plains Marketing, L.P. were $64,224 and $32,862, 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 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 19 1740 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 $11,249,000. 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.

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.

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.
