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.
PART I
ITEM 1. Business
Parker & Parsley 90-C Conv., L.P. (the "Partnership") is a general partnership
organized in 1990 under the laws of the State of Texas. The Partnership
converted to a Delaware limited partnership on August 1, 1991. The Partnership's
managing general partner is Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA").
Pioneer USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"). As of March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 7,531 limited partnership
interests outstanding.
The Partnership does not have any employees of its own. Pioneer USA employs 701
persons, many of whom dedicated a part of their time to the conduct of the
Partnership's business during the period for which this Report is filed. Pioneer
USA is responsible for all management functions.
The Partnership engages in oil and gas development and production and is not
involved in any industry segment other than oil and gas. The Partnership's
production is geographically concentrated in West Texas.
The principal markets during 2000 for the oil produced by the Partnership were
refineries and oil transmission companies that have facilities near the
Partnership's oil producing properties. During 2000, Pioneer USA marketed the
Partnership's gas to a variety of purchasers, none of which accounted for 10% or
more of the Partnership's oil and gas revenues. Of the Partnership's total oil
and gas revenues for 2000, approximately 64% was attributable to sales made to
Plains Marketing, L.P. Pioneer USA is of the opinion that the loss of any one
purchaser would not have an adverse effect on its ability to sell its oil,
natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and gas production.
The Partnership's revenues, profitability, cash flow and future rate of growth
are highly dependent on the prevailing prices of oil and gas, which are affected
by numerous factors beyond the Partnership's control. Oil and gas prices
historically have been very volatile. A substantial or extended decline in the
prices of oil or gas could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's
revenues, profitability and cash flow and could, under certain circumstances,
result in a reduction in the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties.
Oil and gas production operations are subject to various types of regulations by
local, state and federal agencies. The Partnership's operations are also subject
to state conservation laws and regulations, including the establishment of
maximum rates of production from wells and the regulation of spacing, plugging
and abandonment of wells. Each state generally imposes a production or severance
tax with respect to production and sale of oil and gas within their respective
jurisdictions. Noncompliance with the laws and regulations may subject the
Partnership to penalties, damages or other liabilities and compliance may
increase the cost of the Partnership's operations.
2
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 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
PART II
ITEM 5. Market for Limited Partnership Interests and Limited Partnership
Distributions
At March 8, 2001, the Partnership had 7,531 outstanding limited partnership
interests held of record by 505 subscribers. There is no established public
trading market for the limited partnership interests. Under the limited
partnership agreement, Pioneer USA has made certain commitments to purchase
partnership interests at a computed value.
Revenues which, in the sole judgement of the managing general partner, are not
required to meet the Partnership's obligations are distributed to the partners
at least quarterly in accordance with the limited partnership agreement. During
the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, $492,300 and $135,825, respectively,
of such revenue-related distributions were made to the limited partners.

ITEM 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Results of Operations
2000 compared to 1999
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 71% to $917,184 for 2000 as
compared to $537,893 in 1999. The increase in revenues resulted from higher
average prices received and an increase in production. In 2000, 23,602 barrels
of oil, 9,171 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 30,423 mcf of gas were
sold, or 37,844 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). In 1999, 23,568 barrels of
oil, 9,050 barrels of NGLs and 29,399 mcf of gas were sold, or 37,518 BOEs. Due
to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties,
management expects a certain amount of decline in production in the future until
the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves are fully depleted.
The average price received per barrel of oil increased $12.21, or 71%, from
$17.13 in 1999 to $29.34 in 2000. The average price received per barrel of NGLs
increased $5.60, or 60%, from $9.31 in 1999 to $14.91 in 2000. The average price
received per mcf of gas increased 70% from $1.70 in 1999 to $2.89 in 2000. The
market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade and
management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable
future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at
average prices lower or higher than received in 2000.
Gains on dispositions of assets of $388 and $104 recognized during 2000 and
1999, respectively, were due to equipment credits received on a fully depleted
well in each year.
Total costs and expenses increased in 2000 to $416,488 compared to $405,150 in
1999, an increase of $11,338, or 3%. This increase was due to increases in
production costs and general and administrative expenses ("G&A"), offset by a
decline in depletion.
Production costs were $334,055 in 2000 and $297,353 in 1999, resulting in an
increase of $36,702, or 12%. The increase was primarily due to higher production
taxes associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance
costs incurred to stimulate well production.
G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period G&A increased
45% from $20,987 in 1999 to $30,429 in 2000 primarily due to a higher percentage
of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and
gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues. The Partnership
paid the managing general partner $27,439 in 2000 and $16,060 in 1999 for G&A
incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The remaining G&A was paid directly by
the Partnership. The managing general partner determines the allocated expenses
based upon the level of activity of the Partnership relative to the
non-partnership activities of the managing general partner. The method of
allocation has been consistent over the past several years with certain
modifications incorporated to reflect changes in Pioneer USA's overall business
activities.
5
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
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.

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.
14
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.
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
15
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.
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.

Note 7. 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.

--------- ---------
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.

NGLs and gas production.
Note 9. Partnership agreement
The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of
the limited partnership agreement:
19
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.
Limited partner liability - The maximum amount of liability of any
limited partner is the total contributions of such partner plus his share
of any undistributed profits.
Initial capital contributions - The partners entered into subscription
agreements for aggregate capital contributions of $7,531,000. Pioneer USA
is required to contribute amounts equal to 1% of initial Partnership
capital less commission and organization and offering costs allocated to
