Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

Results of Operations

Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended
   June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The  Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  increased  11% to $763,083 for the six
months  ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $687,189 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by

                                        7





a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 17,353 barrels
of oil, 6,410 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 35,369 mcf of gas were
sold, or 29,658  barrel of oil  equivalents  ("BOEs").  For the six months ended
June 30, 2000, 17,958 barrels of oil, 8,604 barrel of NGLs and 33,016 mcf of gas
were sold, or 32,065 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil increased  $.54, or 2%, from $27.72
for the six months  ended June 30,  2000 to $28.26 for the same  period in 2001.
The average  price  received per barrel of NGLs  increased  $2.09,  or 15%, from
$14.00  during the six months  ended June 30, 2000 to $16.09 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 130% from $2.08 for
the six months  ended June 30,  2000 to $4.79 for the same  period in 2001.  The
market price for oil and gas has been extremely  volatile in the past decade and
management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable
future.  The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at
average  prices lower or higher than that  received  during the six months ended
June 30, 2001.

Gains on disposition of assets of $3,054 and $2,023 were  recognized  during the
six  months  ended June 30,  2001 and 2000,  respectively.  The gain  recognized
during the period in 2001 was due to salvage income received on one well plugged
and abandoned during the current year. The gain recognized  during the period in
2000 was from the sale of equipment on one fully depleted well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and expenses increased to $362,535 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as  compared  to  $351,544  for the same  period in 2000,  an  increase  of
$10,991,  or 3%.  This  increase  was  due to  increases  in  production  costs,
abandoned  property  costs,  depletion and general and  administrative  expenses
("G&A").

Production  costs  were  $282,193  for the six months  ended  June 30,  2001 and
$277,308  for the same period in 2000,  resulting in a $4,885  increase,  or 2%.
This increase was  primarily  due to higher  production  taxes  associated  with
higher oil and gas prices.

G&A's  components are independent  accounting and engineering  fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
5% from  $21,724 for the six months  ended June 30, 2000 to $22,884 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to an increase in audit and tax fees.

Depletion  was  $54,399  for the six months  ended June 30,  2001 as compared to
$52,512 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,887, or 4%. This increase
was due to downward  revisions  to proved  reserves on several  wells during the
period  ended June 30,  2001,  offset by a reduction  in the  Partnership's  net
depletable  basis from charges taken in accordance  with  Statement of Financial
Accounting  Standards  No. 121,  "Accounting  for the  Impairment  of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long- Lived  Assets to be Disposed  Of" ("SFAS  121")  during the
fourth  quarter of 2000 and a decline in oil  production  of 605 barrels for the
six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.

Abandoned  property  costs of $3,059 were  incurred  during the six months ended
June 30, 2001 due to the plugging and abandonment of one well during the current
period.

                                        8






Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000

Revenues:

The  Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  decreased 5% to $338,348 for the three
months  ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $356,486 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received for oil and
NGLs and a decline in production,  offset by higher average prices  received for
gas.  For the three  months ended June 30,  2001,  8,598  barrels of oil,  3,171
barrels of NGLs and 16,373 mcf of gas were sold,  or 14,498 BOEs.  For the three
months  ended June 30, 2000,  8,968  barrels of oil,  4,625  barrels of NGLs and
17,395 mcf of gas were sold, or 16,492 BOEs.

The average price received per barrel of oil decreased  $.51, or 2%, from $27.75
for the three  months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.24 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs decreased $.22, or 2%, from $14.10
during the three  months  ended June 30,  2000 to $13.88 for the same  period in
2001.  The average price received per mcf of gas increased 50% from $2.44 during
the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $3.67 for the same period in 2001.

Gain on disposition  of assets of $1,079 was recognized  during the three months
ended June 30,  2001 due to salvage  income  received  on one well  plugged  and
abandoned during the current period.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  decreased to $178,847 for the three months ended June
30,  2001 as compared  to  $181,044  for the same period in 2000,  a decrease of
$2,197,  or 1%. This decrease was due to declines in  production  costs and G&A,
offset by increases in abandoned property costs and depletion.

Production  costs were  $138,987  for the three  months  ended June 30, 2001 and
$143,700 for the same period in 2000, resulting in a $4,713 decrease, or 3%. The
decrease was primarily due to lower workover expense.

During this period,  G&A  decreased  20% from $11,592 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $9,322 for the same period in 2001,  principally due to a lower
percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated  (limited to 3%
of oil and gas  revenues)  as a result of  decreased  oil and gas revenues and a
decline in audit and tax fees.

Depletion  was $27,479 for the three  months  ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$25,752 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $1,727, or 7%. This increase
was due to downward  revisions to proved reserves on several  properties  during
the period ended June 30, 2001,  offset by a reduction in the  Partnership's net
depletable  basis  from  charges  taken in  accordance  with SFAS 121 during the
fourth  quarter of 2000 and a decline in oil  production  of 370 barrels for the
three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.


                                        9





Abandoned  property costs of $3,059 were incurred  during the three months ended
June 30, 2001 due to the plugging and abandonment of one well during the current
period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  increased  $140,001  during the six
months  ended  June 30,  2001 from the same  period  ended June 30,  2000.  This
increase  resulted from an increase of $76,203 in oil and gas sales receipts and
a reduction in working  capital of $72,902,  offset by  increases in  production
costs of $4,885,  abandoned property costs of $3,059 and G&A expenses of $1,160.
The  increase in oil and gas  receipts  resulted  from the increase in commodity
prices  during  2001 which  contributed  an  additional  $117,367 to oil and gas
receipts, offset by $41,164 resulting from the decline in production during 2001
as compared to the same period in 2000.  The  increase in  production  costs was
primarily due to increased  production  taxes associated with higher oil and gas
prices.  The increase in G&A was  primarily  due to an increase in audit and tax
fees.

Net Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's  principal investing  activities for the six months ended June
30,  2001  and 2000  were  for  expenditures  related  to oil and gas  equipment
upgrades on active properties.

Proceeds from asset  dispositions  of $3,054 and $2,023 were received during the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000,  respectively.  The proceeds recognized
during the period in 2001 were due to salvage  income from one well  plugged and
abandoned  during the current  year.  The proceeds  recognized  during 2000 were
derived from the sale of equipment on one fully depleted well.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash  distributions to the partners were
$285,221,  of which $2,852 was  distributed to the managing  general partner and
$282,369 to the limited partners.  For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $362,661,  of which $3,627 was distributed to
the managing general partner and $359,034 to the limited partners.

For the three  months  ended June 30, 2001,  no  distributions  were made by the
partnership to its partners.  Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash  distribution
that  otherwise  would  have been  mailed to  partners  in late June was made to
holders  of  record  as of July 9, 2001 and was  mailed  on July 13,  2001.  For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.

Proposal to acquire partnerships

On June 29, 2001,  Pioneer Natural Resources Company  ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission  Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333-59094) (the "preliminary  proxy  statement/prospectus"),
which  proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer,  Pioneer  Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned  subsidiary of Pioneer,  and
46 Parker & Parsley limited  partnerships.  Each  partnership  that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related  merger  proposals will merge

                                       10





with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions  described in the
preliminary proxy  statement/prospectus,  and the partnership  interests of each
such  partnership  will be converted  into the right to receive  Pioneer  common
stock.  The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley  limited  partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger.  The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration  of offers from third parties to purchase any  partnership  or its
assets and the majority  approval of the limited  partnership  interests in each
partnership.

Pioneer USA will solicit  proxies  from limited  partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy  statement/prospectus  is final and declared  effective.  No
solicitation will be made using preliminary  materials.  Nonetheless,  copies of
the preliminary proxy  statement/prospectus  may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.

The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it  contains  important  information  about  the  proposed  mergers,   including
information  about the direct and indirect  interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
in the mergers.  The limited  partners may also obtain the preliminary and (when
filed) final proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents relating to
the proposed  mergers free through the internet web site that the Securities and
Exchange Commission maintains at www.sec.gov.
