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
September 20, 2001, among Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and each of the
partnerships. Each partnership that approves this proposal, which we call a
participating partnership, will merge with and into Pioneer USA, with
Pioneer USA surviving the merger. Each partnership interest of a
participating partnership, other than Pioneer USA's partnership interests,
will be converted into shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of
Pioneer Parent. The number of shares of common stock Pioneer Parent will
offer for all partnership interests of a participating partnership will be
based on (1) the participating partnership's merger value and (2) the
average closing price of the Pioneer Parent common stock, as reported by
the New York Stock Exchange, for the ten trading days ending three business
days before the initial date scheduled for the special meeting for the
partnership. The merger value for a participating partnership is equal to
the sum of the present value of estimated future net revenues from the
partnership's estimated oil and gas reserves and its net working capital,
in each case as of March 31, 2001, less its pro rata share, based on its
reserve value, of the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of all of
the partnerships and less the cash distribution mailed on July 13, 2001, by
the partnership to its partners. For purposes of illustration in this
document, we have calculated the number of shares to be issued based on an
assumed average closing price of $18.00 per share of Pioneer Parent common
stock. Prior to the date of the special meeting for each partnership, we
will update the number of shares to be issued using the actual average
closing price of Pioneer Parent common stock for the ten trading days
ending three business
3
days before the initial date of the special meeting. You may call D. F.
King & Co., Inc. after , 2001 at 1-800-848-2998 to learn
the final number of shares you will receive. The Pioneer Parent common
stock will be allocated among the partners based on the liquidation
provisions of each partnership agreement. Pioneer Parent will not issue
fractional shares to any limited partner upon completion of the merger of
any partnership. Instead, Pioneer Parent will round any fractional shares
of Pioneer Parent common stock up to the nearest whole share. Pioneer USA
will not receive any Pioneer Parent common stock for its partnership
interests in the participating partnerships.
2. A proposal to amend the partnership agreement of each partnership
to permit the partnership's merger with Pioneer USA. If the amendment is
not approved, that partnership cannot merge into Pioneer USA even if the
partners of that partnership approve the merger agreement.
3. A proposal (A) to approve the opinion issued to Pioneer USA by
Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP, of Wilmington, Delaware, relying as to
matters of Texas law on the opinion of Arter & Hadden LLP of Dallas, Texas,
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 Stradley Ronon Stevens &
Young, LLP, and (as to Texas law matters) Arter & Hadden LLP as special
legal counsel for the limited partners of each partnership for the limited
purpose of rendering the legal opinion. The partnership agreement of each
partnership requires this opinion to be obtained and submitted to the
limited partners for their approval.
Pioneer USA is also requesting authorization to use its discretionary
voting authority to postpone or adjourn the special meeting of limited partners
for the purpose of soliciting additional proxies.
The accompanying proxy statement/prospectus contains information about each
merger, including the amount of Pioneer Parent common stock that will be offered
to limited partners per $1,000 initial investment in each partnership, and
descriptions of the merger agreement, the merger amendment and the legal opinion
of the special legal counsel for the limited partners. The proxy
statement/prospectus also contains a copy of the merger agreement, the merger
amendment and the legal opinion.
Pioneer USA set the close of business on September 21, 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 SEPTEMBER 19, 2001, PIONEER USA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY
DETERMINED THAT THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH YOU OWN AN INTEREST IS
ADVISABLE, FAIR TO YOU AS AN UNAFFILIATED LIMITED PARTNER, AND IN YOUR BEST
INTERESTS. THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT YOU, AS AN UNAFFILIATED LIMITED PARTNER,
VOTE FOR THE MERGER AGREEMENT, THE MERGER AMENDMENT, THE SELECTION OF SPECIAL
LEGAL COUNSEL FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS, THAT COUNSEL'S LEGAL OPINION FOR EACH
PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH YOU OWN AN INTEREST, AND THE AUTHORIZATION TO ALLOW PIONEER
USA TO USE ITS DISCRETIONARY VOTING AUTHORITY TO POSTPONE OR ADJOURN THE SPECIAL
MEETING. ALTHOUGH PIONEER USA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAS ATTEMPTED TO FULFILL ITS
FIDUCIARY DUTIES TO YOU, PIONEER USA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAD CONFLICTING
INTERESTS IN EVALUATING EACH MERGER BECAUSE EACH MEMBER OF ITS BOARD OF
DIRECTORS IS ALSO AN OFFICER OF PIONEER PARENT. Each partnership requires a
favorable vote of the holders of a majority of its limited partnership interests
to approve the merger agreement, the merger amendment, the selection of special
legal counsel for the limited partners and that counsel's legal opinion, except
that Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P. each require
the favorable vote of the holders, other than Pioneer USA, of 66 2/3% of its
limited partnership interests to approve those merger proposals. The
postponement or adjournment of the special meeting to solicit additional proxies
will require the favorable vote of a majority of the limited partnership
interests present or represented at a meeting where such vote is taken.
IF YOU DO NOT SEND IN YOUR PROXY CARD OR VOTE AT THE SPECIAL MEETING FOR A
PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH YOU OWN AN INTEREST, IT WILL HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS IF YOU
VOTED AGAINST THE MERGER OF THAT PARTNERSHIP.
4
You are requested to sign, vote and date the enclosed proxy card and return
it promptly in the enclosed envelope, even if you expect to be present at each
special meeting for the partnerships in which you own an interest. If you give a
proxy, you can revoke it at any time before the special meeting for the
partnership as to which you are revoking your proxy. If you are present at the
special meeting for a partnership in which you own an interest, you may withdraw
your proxy and vote in person.
WHETHER OR NOT YOU PLAN TO VOTE ON THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH
YOU OWN AN INTEREST, PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO COMPLETE AND RETURN TO US THE
ENCLOSED CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS.
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,
MARK L. WITHROW
Director, Executive Vice President,
General Counsel and Secretary

THE INFORMATION IN THIS PROSPECTUS IS NOT COMPLETE AND MAY BE CHANGED. WE MAY
NOT SELL THESE SECURITIES UNTIL THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED WITH THE
SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION IS EFFECTIVE. THIS PROSPECTUS IS NOT AN
OFFER TO SELL THESE SECURITIES AND IT IS NOT SOLICITING AN OFFER TO BUY THESE
SECURITIES IN ANY STATE WHERE THE OFFER OR SALE IS NOT PERMITTED.

PRELIMINARY PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS, SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED SEPTEMBER
21, 2001
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY [PIONEER
COMMON STOCK LOGO]
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES USA,
INC.
5205 NORTH O'CONNOR BLVD., SUITE

IRVING, TEXAS 75039
Dear Limited Partners:
We at Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc., together with our parent company,
Pioneer Natural Resources Company, desire to acquire 46 limited partnerships. We
are the managing or sole general partner of each of the partnerships. We are a
Delaware corporation and call ourselves Pioneer USA. We are a wholly owned
subsidiary of Pioneer Natural Resources Company, a Delaware corporation that we
call Pioneer Parent.
If you and the other limited partners of a partnership approve the merger of
the partnership, the partnership will be merged with and into Pioneer USA, with
Pioneer USA surviving the merger. We call each partnership that merges into
Pioneer USA a participating partnership. Each partnership interest of a
participating partnership will be converted into shares of common stock, par
value $.01 per share, of Pioneer Parent. The number of shares of common stock
Pioneer Parent will offer for all partnership interests of a participating
partnership will be based on (1) the participating partnership's merger value
and (2) the average closing price of the Pioneer Parent common stock, as
reported by the New York Stock Exchange, for the ten trading days ending three
business days before the initial date scheduled for the special meeting for the
partnership. The merger value for a participating partnership is equal to the
sum of the present value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's
estimated oil and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of
March 31, 2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of the
estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships and less
the cash distribution mailed on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its
partners.
The merger value for each partnership is based on the reserve value of the
partnership's underlying properties, which reserve value has not been reduced
for general and administrative expenses. As a result, we believe the merger
value is essentially the same value or a higher value than the liquidation value
that might have been achieved by selling the partnership's property interests on
March 31, 2001, and liquidating the partnership at that time.
We have retained Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc., which we call Stanger, to
issue an opinion regarding the fairness of the merger value to the limited
partners in connection with the merger of each partnership. The written opinion
of Stanger is contained in this document. You should read all of it carefully.
We can complete the merger of each partnership only if the holders of its
limited partnership interests approve the merger agreement, the amendment to the
partnership agreement to permit the merger, the selection of special legal
counsel for the limited partners, and that counsel's legal opinion. This
document provides information about each proposed merger. This document also
constitutes a prospectus by Pioneer Parent for up to an aggregate of 5,947,940
shares of Pioneer Parent common stock to be issued in the proposed merger
transaction, based on an assumed average closing price of $18.00 per share of
Pioneer Parent common stock. Please give all of this information your careful
attention. Pioneer Parent's common stock is traded on the New York Stock
Exchange under the symbol "PXD." On September 20, 2001, the last reported sale
price of the common stock on the NYSE was $15.89 per share.
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,
Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.
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 20. THESE INCLUDE:
- THE MERGER VALUE FOR THE PARTNERSHIP DETERMINES THE AMOUNT OF PIONEER
PARENT COMMON STOCK YOU WILL RECEIVE IN THE MERGER OF THE PARTNERSHIP.
PIONEER PARENT AND PIONEER USA DETERMINED EACH MERGER VALUE AND WILL NOT
ADJUST IT FOR CHANGES IN PARTNERSHIP VALUE BEFORE THE MERGER IS
COMPLETED.
- YOU WERE NOT INDEPENDENTLY REPRESENTED IN ESTABLISHING THE TERMS OF ANY
MERGER.
- OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS HAD CONFLICTING INTERESTS IN EVALUATING EACH
MERGER BECAUSE EACH MEMBER OF OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS IS ALSO AN OFFICER
OF PIONEER PARENT.
NEITHER THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION NOR ANY STATE SECURITIES
REGULATORS HAVE APPROVED ANY OF THE MERGERS, THE PIONEER PARENT COMMON STOCK TO
BE ISSUED IN EACH MERGER OR THE FAIRNESS OR THE MERITS OF EACH MERGER OR HAVE
DETERMINED WHETHER THE INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT IS ACCURATE OR
ADEQUATE. ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.
This proxy statement/prospectus is dated , 2001. It is first
being mailed to the limited partners on or about , 2001.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP
Q: WHEN AND WHERE ARE THE MEETINGS OF LIMITED PARTNERS?
A: The meetings will be held on , 2001, at 10:00 a.m. at the Dallas
Marriott Las Colinas Hotel, 223 West Las Colinas Blvd., Irving, Texas
75039.
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 DOES MY GENERAL PARTNER RECOMMEND I DO?
A: The board of directors of the general partner of your partnership
recommends that you vote for the merger and the merger proposals 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 67. You then may either change
your vote by sending in a new proxy card or by attending the special
meeting for each partnership in which you own an interest and voting in
person.
Q: IF MY PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS ARE HELD IN A RETIREMENT ACCOUNT BY A
CUSTODIAN, WILL MY CUSTODIAN VOTE MY PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS FOR ME?
A: Your custodian will not be able to vote your partnership interests. You
should refer to the instructions included on your proxy card to vote your
partnership interests.
Q: SHOULD I SEND IN MY CERTIFICATES FOR MY PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS NOW?
A: No. If the merger of a partnership in which you own an interest is
completed, your certificates representing your partnership interests in
that partnership will be cancelled without further action by you. We will
mail certificates representing Pioneer Parent common stock issued to you on
completion of the merger of that partnership.
Q: AM I ENTITLED TO APPRAISAL OR DISSENTERS' RIGHTS?
A: No. You will not have any appraisal or dissenters' rights in connection
with the merger of any partnership in which you own an interest.
Q: WHAT HAPPENS TO MY FUTURE CASH DISTRIBUTIONS?
A: Since your partnership interests in participating partnerships will be
cancelled upon completion of the merger of each such partnership, you will
not receive any future distributions on those interests. Pioneer Parent's
board of directors did not declare dividends to the holders of Pioneer
Parent common stock during 1999, 2000 or the six months ended June 30,
2001. The amount of dividends, if any, paid by Pioneer Parent in the future
will depend on business conditions, its financial condition and earnings,
and other factors. Pioneer Parent's common stock is publicly traded, so if
you prefer to receive cash you may sell the common stock you receive in the
public markets.
Q: WHO CAN HELP ANSWER MY QUESTIONS?
A: If you have any questions about the merger of any of the partnerships in
which you own an interest, please call Pioneer Parent's information agent,
D.F. King & Co., Inc., at (800) 848-2998.

SUMMARY
To understand the merger of each partnership in which you own an interest
and to obtain a more detailed description of the legal terms of each merger, you
should carefully read this entire document, the related partnership supplements,
and the documents described in "Where You Can Find More Information" on the
inside front cover page of this document. For definitions of oil and gas terms
used in this document, see "Commonly Used Oil and Gas Terms" on page 88.
When we use the terms "Pioneer USA," "we," "us" or "our," we are referring
to your sole or managing general partner, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.,
including its consolidated subsidiaries and predecessors, unless the context
otherwise requires. When we use the term "Pioneer Parent," we are referring to
Pioneer Natural Resources Company. When we use the term "merger proposals," we
are referring to the proposals to approve the merger agreement, the merger
amendment, the selection of special legal counsel for the limited partners and
the legal opinion of that counsel. When we use the term "participating
partnership," we are referring to each partnership the limited partners of which
approve the merger proposals.
THE MERGERS
Pioneer Parent proposes to acquire each partnership by merging each
partnership into us. We will be the survivor of each merger. The partnership
interests of each participating partnership, other than our interests, will be
converted into Pioneer Parent common stock.
The number of shares of common stock that Pioneer Parent will offer for all
partnership interests of a participating partnership will be based on (1) the
merger value for the partnership as described below and (2) the average closing
price of the Pioneer Parent common stock, as reported by the New York Stock
Exchange, for the ten trading days ending three business days before the initial
date scheduled for the special meeting for the partnership. Pioneer Parent and
Pioneer USA determined the merger value for each partnership primarily based on
the present value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's
estimated oil and gas reserves at March 31, 2001, which was reviewed by
Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. as of March 31, 2001. Pioneer Parent and
Pioneer USA used the following parameters in calculating the present value of
estimated future net revenues: (1) a five-year New York Mercantile Exchange, or
NYMEX, futures price for oil and gas as of March 30, 2001, with prices held
constant after year five at the year-five price, less standard industry
adjustments, (2) historical operating costs adjusted only for those items
affected by commodity prices, such as production taxes and ad valorem taxes, and
(3) a 10.0% discount rate. For 2001, the oil and gas prices were based on the
average NYMEX futures price for the nine-month period beginning on April 1, 2001
and ending December 31, 2001. See the table on page 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 49 of this document for information on the basis of
pricing. In addition, each partnership's merger value includes its net working
capital as of March 31, 2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve
value, of the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the
partnerships and less the cash distribution mailed on July 13, 2001, by the
partnership to its partners. The Pioneer Parent common stock will be allocated
among the partners of a participating partnership based on the liquidation
provisions of the partnership agreement of the partnership.
On pages 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. You may call D. F. King & Co., Inc. after
, 2001 at 1-800-848-2998 to learn the final number of shares
you will receive.
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA agreed to structure the transaction as a
merger of each partnership instead of as a property sale followed by liquidation
of each partnership because the merger will:
- require fewer legal documents;
- reduce filing fees and other costs; and
- result in the same amount of Pioneer Parent common stock to the limited
partners as would a property sale and liquidation using the same
commodity prices.
Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and the partnerships signed the merger
agreement on September 20, 2001. 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
1
14
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.
THE COMPANIES
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite 1400
Irving, Texas 75039
(972) 444-9001
Pioneer Parent prepared this document to offer its common stock to you. If
your partnership is merged into Pioneer USA, you will receive common stock of
Pioneer Parent.
Pioneer Parent is a large, independent exploration and production company
with total proved reserves equivalent to 3.8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas,
or 628 million barrels of oil at December 31, 2000. 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." See "Pioneer Parent" on page
75 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.
5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite 1400
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.
5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite 1400
Irving, Texas 75039
(972) 444-9001
The name of each partnership is found in the table beginning on page 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 federal income tax 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 77 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 20 of this document. These include:
- The merger value for the partnership determines the amount of Pioneer
Parent common stock you will receive in the merger of the partnership.
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA determined each
2
15
merger value and will not adjust it for changes in partnership value
before the merger is completed.
- You were not independently represented in establishing the terms of any
merger.
- Our board of directors had conflicting interests in evaluating each
merger because each member of our board of directors is also an officer
of Pioneer Parent.
- Repurchase offers in 2001 by each of the six partnerships with a
repurchase obligation were higher than the merger value for the
partnership.
- Limited partners who become Pioneer Parent stockholders will own stock in
a corporation rather than a limited partnership interest in a limited
partnership, resulting in a fundamental change in the nature of their
investments.
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:
- the merger value attributable to:
- Pioneer USA's partnership interests, whether general or limited;
- the partnership interests of the unaffiliated limited partners of the
nonmanaging general partner, if any, of each partnership;
- the limited partners' partnership interests, including the estimated
number of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock offered to the limited
partners other than Pioneer USA;
- for each $1,000 initial limited partner investment in the partnership:
- the estimated number of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock offered;
- the merger value;
- the total historical cash distributions through July 31, 2001; and
- the total amount of initial investment by the limited partners that has
been repaid, after giving effect to the merger of the partnership,
stated in dollars and as a percentage; and
- the reserve value attributable to the limited partners other than Pioneer
USA per barrel of oil equivalent, or BOE.
This information is based on assumptions, including the following:
- Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA estimated the present value of estimated
future net revenues for each partnership from the estimated reserves for
each partnership at March 31, 2001.
- Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA used the following parameters in
calculating the present value of estimated future net revenues: (1) a
five-year NYMEX futures price for oil and gas as of March 30, 2001, with
prices held constant after year five at the year-five price, less
standard industry adjustments, (2) historical operating costs adjusted
only for those items affected by commodity prices, such as production
taxes and ad valorem taxes, and (3) a discount rate of 10.0%.
- Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. reviewed these estimates of each
partnership's reserves as of March 31, 2001. Williamson's review included
testing and evaluating the reserve information for all of the properties
of each partnership. The review is more comprehensive than an audit,
which involves testing and evaluating the reserve information of a
representative subgroup of properties of each partnership.
See "Method of Determining Merger Value for Each Partnership and Amount of
Pioneer Parent Common Stock Offered -- Components of Merger Value for Each
Partnership."
You should read the following table together with the detailed information
in Table 2 and Table 3 of Appendix A to this document, including the footnotes
to those tables. For purposes of illustration in this document, we have
calculated the number of shares to be issued based on an assumed average closing
price of $18.00 per share of Pioneer Parent common stock. Prior to the date of
the special meeting for each partnership, we will update the number of shares to
be issued using the actual average closing price of Pioneer Parent common stock
for the ten trading days ending three business days before the initial date
scheduled for the special meeting.
Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
$1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial investment
for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You should not assume that
the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the same as the value or amount
attributable to a single unit investment. See Table 1 of Appendix A to this
document for the initial subscription price for each unit.

BENEFITS AND DISADVANTAGES TO
THE LIMITED PARTNERS
We believe the merger of each partnership provides the following benefits
to the limited partners of the partnership:
Liquidity. None of the partnership interests of any of the partnerships is
traded on a national stock exchange or in any other significant market. No
liquid market exists for interests in any of the partnerships. Although some
partnership interests are occasionally sold in private or an informal secondary
market for limited partner securities, we believe the potential buyers in such
transactions are few and the prices generally reflect a significant discount for
illiquidity. See Table 15 of Appendix A for historical information about recent
trades of partnership interests in each partnership. Repurchase obligations
exist in only a few of the partnerships and are limited in both amount and price
by formula in the partnership agreements. See Table 8 of Appendix A for
repurchase information.
The merger of each partnership provides liquidity to the limited partners
of that partnership at a price based on oil and gas reserve values, not on
limited market demand for illiquid partnership interests. All limited partners
of a participating partnership will receive Pioneer Parent common stock in
exchange for their partnership interests shortly after completion of the merger
of the partnership. Shares of Pioneer Parent common stock are freely
transferable and listed on the New York Stock Exchange and the Toronto Stock
Exchange. On April 16, 2001, the last full trading day prior to the announcement
of the proposed merger of each partnership, the last reported sales price of
Pioneer Parent common stock, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange, was
$17.27. On September 20, 2001, that price was $15.89 per share.
Oil and Gas Investment Vehicle. For those limited partners who do not wish
to liquidate their investment into cash but wish to remain invested in the oil
and gas industry, we believe Pioneer Parent's common stock provides an
attractive oil and gas investment vehicle because:
- Expansion and Balancing of Reserves. The limited partners will have the
opportunity to benefit from Pioneer Parent's efforts (1) to expand its reserve
base through acquisitions and development or exploratory drilling, and (2) to
maintain a strategic balance between oil and natural gas reserves. At December
31, 2000, Pioneer Parent's reserve mix was 50% oil and NGLs and 50% natural
gas compared to the combined partnerships' reserve mix of 81% oil and NGLs and
19% natural gas at such date.
- Geographic Diversification and Large Oil and Gas Reserve Base. Pioneer
Parent's oil and gas reserves are substantially larger and more geographically
diversified than the properties of any partnership individually. This
increased size and the resulting consolidation of operations spread the risk
of an investment in Pioneer Parent over a broader group of assets and reduces
the dependence of the investment upon the performance of any particular asset
or group of assets, such as assets in the same geographical area.
Liquidation Value. The merger value for each partnership is based on the
value of the underlying properties, which we believe is essentially the same
value or a higher value than could be achieved by selling the partnership's
property interests and liquidating the partnership at that time. In addition, we
believe that the value of Pioneer Parent common stock to be distributed to each
limited partner in the merger of each partnership is higher than what the
limited partners would otherwise receive over the life of the partnership,
assuming the same oil and gas commodity prices and operating costs as used to
determine the reserve value for each partnership and giving effect to the time
value of money, for the following reasons:
- The partnership agreement for each partnership requires cash distributions to
be reduced by general and administrative expenses allocable to the
partnership. The merger value for each partnership reflects a liquidation
value that has not been reduced for general and administrative expenses,
although it has been reduced by each partnership's share of the expenses of
the merger, which are estimated to be a total of $2.0 million.
- 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.
7
20
Elimination of Partnership Tax Reports. The merger of each participating
partnership will eliminate the limited partners' Schedule K-1 tax reports for
the partnership for tax years after the merger occurs. This is expected to
simplify the limited partners' individual tax return preparation and reduce
preparation costs.
We also considered the following disadvantages of the merger of each
partnership:
- Limited partners of each partnership will own stock in a corporation, which is
a different investment objective from investing in a partnership designed to
generate recurring cash distributions.
- Limited partners who become Pioneer Parent stockholders will no longer receive
partnership cash distributions.
- Pioneer Parent will engage in the acquisition, exploration and development of
new oil and gas properties that will expose limited partners of each
partnership to all of the attendant risks associated with such activities.
Each partnership owns producing properties and does not conduct drilling
activities. Pioneer Parent's activities may, therefore, involve greater risks
than the activities of each partnership.
- Increases in prices for oil and gas may have a more direct effect on limited
partners of each partnership due to the immediate effect on potential cash
distributions.
- Limited partners who become Pioneer Parent stockholders will be subject to the
volatility of the market value of Pioneer Parent common stock. Market factors
that may affect the common stock price will include factors other than those
that affect the value of a limited partner's interest in a partnership, such
as general market conditions. Accordingly, the price for which a limited
partner may be able to sell the Pioneer Parent common stock received in the
merger may be lower than the value used to determine the number of shares
issued in the merger.
- Limited partners who become Pioneer Parent stockholders may have to recognize
a taxable gain on the transaction.
- Limited partners of each participating partnership will pay their pro rata
share of the expenses and fees to be incurred in connection with the merger of
each partnership. See "Payment of Expenses and Fees" on page 60 of this
document for more information about the aggregate estimated merger expenses
and fees to be incurred.
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 37)
On August 20, 2001, our board of directors unanimously determined that the
merger of each partnership in which you own an interest is advisable, fair to
you, as an unaffiliated limited partner, and in your best interests. Our board
recommends that you, as an unaffiliated limited partner, vote for the merger
proposals for each partnership in which you own an interest. Although our board
of directors has attempted to fulfill its fiduciary duties to you, our board of
directors had conflicting interests in evaluating each merger because each
member of our board of directors is also an officer of Pioneer Parent.
FAIRNESS
In deciding to approve the merger of each partnership on August 20, 2001,
our board of directors decided that each merger of a partnership in which you
own an interest is advisable, fair to you as an unaffiliated limited partner,
and in your best interests based on a variety of factors. These factors include:
- the form and amount of consideration offered to you;
- the comparison of the amount of Pioneer Parent common stock offered in each
merger to the future cash distributions otherwise expected as oil and gas
production continues to decline and general and administrative expenses
continue to be incurred;
- the elimination after the merger of each participating partnership of its
limited partners' tax preparation costs relating to partnership tax
information;
- the belief that the price offered by Pioneer Parent is a competitive price
because of:
- the commodity pricing used in determining the merger value for each
partnership;
- Pioneer USA's position as operator of most of each partnership's wells; and
- Pioneer USA's significant ownership of nearby properties;
- the fairness opinion from Stanger.
FAIRNESS OPINION OF FINANCIAL ADVISOR
(SEE PAGE 37)
Stanger has issued a fairness opinion dated August 20, 2001, that, subject
to the qualifications expressed in the opinion, the merger value for each
partnership and the allocation of the merger value of the partnership (1) to
8
21
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 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 54)
You will generally recognize gain or loss equal to the difference between
(1) the value of the Pioneer Parent common stock you receive in the merger of
each partnership in which you own interests and (2) your adjusted tax basis in
your partnership interests in that participating partnership. Your gain or loss
will be capital or ordinary depending on the nature of the assets held by each
participating partnership in which you own an interest and the amount of
depletion and intangible drilling and development costs that must be recaptured.
You must calculate your ordinary and capital gain or loss separately for each
partnership in which you own an interest.
TAX MATTERS ARE VERY COMPLICATED. THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU OF EACH
MERGER OF A PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH YOU OWN AN INTEREST WILL DEPEND ON THE FACTS OF
YOUR OWN SITUATION. WE URGE YOU TO SEEK TAX ADVICE FOR A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF
THE PARTICULAR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EACH MERGER TO YOU.
CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS
YOUR CERTIFICATE THAT YOU ARE NOT A FOREIGN PERSON, WHICH WE CALL A
CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS, IS IMPORTANT. Whether or not you plan to
vote on the merger of each partnership in which you own an interest, please take
the time to complete and return to us the enclosed certification of non-foreign
status. If we receive a properly completed certification of non-foreign status
from you, we will not withhold federal income taxes on the Pioneer Parent common
stock to be issued to you upon the merger of each partnership in which you own
an interest.
If we, on behalf of a partnership, are required to withhold federal income
taxes from the Pioneer Parent common stock to be issued to you upon the merger
of each partnership in which you own an interest, we will be entitled to deduct
and withhold such taxes from the Pioneer Parent common stock otherwise payable
to you. If amounts are withheld, we may, in our sole discretion:
- sell any Pioneer Parent common stock withheld from you and use the sale
proceeds to pay the required withholding taxes;
- hold any Pioneer Parent common stock withheld from you as security until you
satisfy the required withholding taxes, at which time the withheld Pioneer
Parent common stock will be released to you; or
- take such other reasonable action, at your expense, as is required or
appropriate to satisfy the required withholding taxes.
Any amounts withheld as described above will be treated as having been paid
to you.
RECORD DATE; VOTING POWER
You may vote at the special meeting for each partnership in which you own
an interest if you owned partnership interests of record as of the close of
business on September 21, 2001. We call this date the record date. For each
partnership in which you own a partnership interest, you may cast one vote
representing your percentage of partnership interests in that partnership. The
percentage of partnership interests that you own is determined by comparing the
amount of:
- your, or your predecessor's, initial investment, including any additional
assessments, in the partnership; to
- the total investment of all partners, including any additional assessments, in
the partnership.
YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. Whether or not you plan to attend the special
meeting for each partnership in which you own an interest, please take the time
to vote by completing and mailing to us the enclosed proxy card. This will not
prevent you from revoking your proxy at any time prior to the special meeting
for each partnership in which you own an interest or from voting your
partnership interests in person if you later choose to attend the special
meeting for each partnership in which you own an interest.
PARTNER VOTE REQUIRED TO APPROVE THE MERGERS
The favorable vote of the holders of a majority of the limited partnership
interests in a partnership is required to approve the merger proposals for that
partnership, except that Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B,
L.P. each require the favorable vote of the holders,
9
22
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 66 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 71 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 62)
We will complete the merger of each partnership only if the conditions of
the merger agreement are satisfied or, if permitted, waived. These conditions
include:
- the limited partners' adoption and approval of the merger proposals;
- the absence of any law or court order that prohibits the merger; and
- the absence of any lawsuit challenging the legality or any aspect of the
merger.
So long as the law allows us to do so, Pioneer Parent and we may choose to
complete a merger of any partnership even though a condition has not been
satisfied if the limited partners have approved the merger proposals. Pioneer
Parent and we may complete the merger of any one or some of the partnerships for
which the listed conditions have been satisfied, even if limited partners in
other partnerships do not approve the merger proposals. If we choose to waive a
material condition to a merger, we will disclose that waiver to the limited
partners of the affected partnership and resolicit proxies for that merger.
TERMINATION OF THE MERGER OF A PARTNERSHIP
(SEE PAGE 63)
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA may jointly terminate the merger agreement,
for any or all of the partnerships, at any time, even after limited partner
approval. Either Pioneer Parent or Pioneer USA may terminate the merger
agreement for any or all of the partnerships in some circumstances, including
the following:
- the limited partners of a partnership fail to approve that partnership's
merger; or
- if any of the other parties is in material breach of the merger agreement.
In addition, (1) Pioneer USA may terminate the merger agreement for any
partnership, if Pioneer USA determines that termination of the merger agreement
is required for its board of directors to comply with its fiduciary duties and
(2) Pioneer Parent may abandon the proposed merger of any or all of the
partnerships at any time prior to the special meeting for any such partnership
for any reason including changes in, among other things, the price of Pioneer
Parent common stock, the market prices for oil and gas generally or the oil and
gas industry generally.
EFFECT OF DEBT OWED BY A LIMITED PARTNER TO
PIONEER USA ON AMOUNT OF
PIONEER PARENT COMMON STOCK TO BE RECEIVED
BY THE LIMITED PARTNER
If a limited partner is indebted to Pioneer USA for any portion of the
limited partner's original investment in the partnership, Pioneer USA plans to
apply the Pioneer Parent common stock that would otherwise be distributed to the
limited partner upon completion of the merger of the partnership against that
limited partner's indebtedness. If a limited partner's indebtedness to Pioneer
USA is less than the merger value allocated to limited partnership interests
held by the limited partner, the limited partner will receive Pioneer Parent
common stock equal to the amount by which such merger value exceeds such
indebtedness. If a limited partner's indebtedness to Pioneer USA is greater than
the merger value allocated to the limited partnership interests held by the
limited partner, Pioneer USA may collect the deficiency from the limited
partner.
EFFECTS OF THE MERGER OF A PARTNERSHIP
ON ITS LIMITED PARTNERS WHO DO NOT VOTE
IN FAVOR OF THE MERGER
You will be bound by the merger of a partnership in which you own interests
if the limited partners in your partnership vote a majority, or 66 2/3% for
Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P., of their
10
23
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 57)
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 the assets of, or merge with, one or more of the
nonparticipating partnerships. The proposal may be on terms similar to or
different from those of the mergers described in this document.
EXPENSES AND FEES
The expenses and fees to be incurred in connection with the merger of each
partnership are expected to be approximately $2.0 million in total. Each
participating partnership will pay its pro rata share, based on its reserve
value, of those estimated expenses and fees. Pioneer Parent will pay the pro
rata share of each nonparticipating partnership's estimated expenses and fees.
Pioneer Parent has also agreed to pay any expenses and fees actually incurred in
excess of $2.0 million and if Pioneer Parent terminates or abandons the merger
as to any partnership, any expenses or fees allocated to that partnership.
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA have reduced each partnership's merger value by
that partnership's pro rata share of the estimated expenses and fees.
REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS
No federal or state regulatory requirements must be satisfied or approvals
obtained in connection with the merger of any of the partnerships as described
in this document, except filing certificates of merger with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware and the Secretary of 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
11
24
and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of September 30,
2000, less the cash distributions on October 15, 2000 and November 15, 2000, by
that partnership to its partners. In determining the present value, Pioneer
Parent and Pioneer USA used (1) a five-year NYMEX futures price for oil and gas
as of August 25, 2000 with prices held constant after year five at the year five
price, less standard industry adjustments, (2) historical operating costs
adjusted only for those items affected by commodity prices, such as production
taxes and ad valorem taxes, and (3) a 13.5% discount rate. The consideration
paid in the mergers of the employee limited partnerships was all cash. Using the
same parameters as described above, Pioneer Parent purchased all of the direct
oil and gas interests held by Scott D. Sheffield, its chairman of the board of
directors and chief executive officer, for $0.2 million during October 2000. As
with the purchases of the direct oil and gas interests described above, offering
and registering Pioneer Parent common stock in those mergers was
cost-prohibitive due to the small size of such transactions.
In each of the transactions referred to above Pioneer Parent paid all of
the expenses of acquiring the direct oil and gas interests and of merging the
employee limited partnerships into Pioneer USA. This is because of the small
size of the transactions and the absence of significant external costs to the
transactions. In the proposed transaction Pioneer Parent will pay the pro rata
share of each nonparticipating partnership's estimated expenses and fees. The
participating partnerships will pay their pro rata share of the expenses and
fees.
THIRD PARTY OFFERS
(SEE PAGE 58)
We will consider any offers from third parties to purchase any partnership
or its assets. Those who wish to make an offer for any partnership or its assets
must demonstrate to our reasonable satisfaction their financial ability and
willingness to complete such a transaction. Before reviewing non-public
information about a partnership, a third party will need to enter into a
customary confidentiality agreement. Offers should be at prices and on terms
that are fair to the partners of the partnership and more favorable to the
unaffiliated limited partners than the prices and terms proposed in the merger
for that partnership described in this document. Pioneer Parent has the right to
match or top any such offer. In addition, any such offer would be subject to our
right to continue operation of the properties. Since first announcing our
willingness to consider third party offers in September 1999, we have not
received any third party offer for any partnership or its assets.
Other than announcing that we will consider third party offers for any
partnership or its assets, we have not actively solicited bids from third
parties.
COMPARATIVE PER SHARE MARKET PRICE
INFORMATION (SEE PAGE 69)
On April 16, 2001, the last full trading day before the public announcement
of the proposed merger of each partnership, Pioneer Parent common stock closed
at $17.27 per share. On September 20, 2001, Pioneer Parent common stock closed
at $15.89 per share.
No liquid market exists for interests in any of the partnerships. See Table
15 of Appendix A for historical information about recent trades per $1,000
initial limited partner investment in each partnership and Table 7 of Appendix A
for the average historical quarterly cash distributions per $1,000 initial
limited partner investment for each partnership.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL DATA OF PIONEER PARENT
The following table sets forth summary unaudited pro forma combined
financial data of Pioneer Parent that is presented to give effect to the merger
of each of the partnerships. The information was prepared based on the following
assumptions:
- The merger of each partnership will be accounted for as a purchase
business combination under generally accepted accounting principles.
- The income statement data is presented as if the merger of each
partnership had been consummated on January 1, 2000.
- The balance sheet data is presented as if the merger of each partnership
had been consummated on June 30, 2001.
You should consider the following:
- The unaudited pro forma combined financial data are not necessarily
indicative of the results of operations or the financial position of
Pioneer Parent that would have occurred had the merger of each
partnership in which you own an interest been consummated on January 1,
2000, nor are they necessarily indicative of future results of operations
or financial position of Pioneer Parent.
- The unaudited pro forma combined revenue and expense data exclude the
cost savings expected to be realized through the consolidation of
operations of Pioneer Parent and each partnership and the elimination of
duplicate expenses.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements should be read
together with (1) the historical consolidated financial statements of Pioneer
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. With respect to future cash distributions,

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

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

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the following risk factors in determining
whether to vote to approve the merger proposals for each partnership in which
you own interests.
RISK FACTORS RELATING TO THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP
THE MERGER VALUE FOR EACH PARTNERSHIP INVOLVES ESTIMATES THAT MAY VARY
MATERIALLY FROM THE QUANTITIES OF OIL AND GAS ACTUALLY RECOVERED, AND
CONSEQUENTLY FUTURE NET REVENUES MAY BE MATERIALLY DIFFERENT FROM THE ESTIMATES
USED IN THE CALCULATION OF THE MERGER VALUE AND FOR A PARTICULAR PARTNERSHIP
The calculations of each partnership's estimated reserves of crude oil,
natural gas liquids and natural gas and future net revenues from those reserves
included in this document are only estimates. Actual prices, production,
operating expenses and quantities of recoverable oil and natural gas reserves
may vary from those assumed in the estimates. Any significant variance from the
assumptions used could result in the actual quantity of each partnership's
reserves and future net revenues being materially different from the estimates
used in the calculation of the merger value for that partnership. If this turns
out to be the case, the merger value you will receive may not be a reflection of
the actual value of the applicable partnership's reserves.
THE MERGER VALUE FOR A PARTNERSHIP WILL NOT BE ADJUSTED FOR CHANGES IN OIL AND
GAS PRICES BEFORE THE COMPLETION OF ITS MERGER
The merger value for each partnership in which you own an interest
determines the amount of Pioneer Parent common stock you will receive in the
merger of that partnership. The merger value for each partnership is equal to
the sum of the present value of estimated future net revenues from the
partnership's estimated oil and gas reserves and its net working capital, in
each case as of March 31, 2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve
value, of the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the
partnerships and less the cash distribution mailed on July 13, 2001, by the
partnership to its partners. Although oil and gas prices have fluctuated greatly
in the recent past and may continue to do so, the merger value for a partnership
will not be adjusted as of the closing date of the merger of that partnership to
reflect any general changes in oil or gas prices, or any other matter generally
affecting the oil and gas industry, occurring after March 31, 2001 and prior to
the closing date of the merger.
THE NUMBER OF SHARES OF PIONEER PARENT COMMON STOCK THE LIMITED PARTNERS OF EACH
PARTNERSHIP WILL RECEIVE MAY DECREASE BETWEEN NOW AND THE COMPLETION OF THE
MERGER OF THE PARTNERSHIP
The number of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock to be issued to the
limited partners of each partnership upon the merger of the partnership will be
determined by dividing the merger value assigned to the partnership by the value
of one share of Pioneer Parent common stock determined as described below. As
discussed above, the merger value for each partnership will not be changed
between now and the completion of the merger for the partnership. In addition,
for purposes of example in this document, a share of Pioneer Parent common stock
has been valued at an assumed average closing price of $18.00. However, the
value of a share of Pioneer Parent common stock will be recalculated by
computing the average closing price of the Pioneer Parent common stock, as
reported by the New York Stock Exchange, for the ten trading days ending three
business days before the initial date scheduled for the special meeting for each
partnership. This recalculated value, and not the assumed closing average
closing price of $18.00 per share of Pioneer Parent common stock used for
illustration purposes in this document and on each limited partner's proxy card,
will be used to determine the actual number of shares of Pioneer Parent common
stock to be issued in the merger of each partnership. The recalculated value may
be more or less than the assumed average closing price of $18.00 per share of
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 69.
CURRENT MARKET PRICES FOR OIL AND GAS MAY BE HIGHER THAN THE MERGER VALUE FOR A
PARTNERSHIP, WHICH MAY AFFECT THE FAIRNESS OPINION
Oil and gas prices have fluctuated greatly in the recent past and may
continue to do so in the future. Pioneer Parent calculated each merger value
based on oil and gas prices that it believes to be fair and that are supported
by current market prices. Changes in current oil and gas prices may affect the
willingness or ability of Stanger to update its opinion at the time this
document is mailed to the limited partners of each partnership as to the
fairness of the consideration to
20
33
be received by limited partners. If the prices used in the calculation of each
merger value significantly differ from current prices and if Pioneer Parent does
not modify its offer, the fairness opinion provider may be unable to update its
opinion.
YOU WERE NOT INDEPENDENTLY REPRESENTED IN ESTABLISHING THE TERMS OF THE MERGER
OF EACH PARTNERSHIP
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA determined the terms of the merger of each
partnership, including the method for determining the merger value for that
partnership, and the type and allocation among the partners of the consideration
to be given in exchange for partnership interests. We did not seek
recommendations about the type of transaction or the terms or prices from any
independent underwriter, financial advisor or other securities professional
prior to accepting the consideration Pioneer Parent offered. The only
independent representatives in the mergers were Sayles, Lidji & Werbner, A
Professional Corporation, which provided legal services to Pioneer USA's board
of directors, Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc., which rendered its fairness opinion
to Pioneer USA's board of directors, and Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP and
(as to Texas law matters) Arter & Hadden LLP, which rendered 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 70 of this document.
IT IS UNCLEAR WHAT THE MARKET DEMAND IS FOR ANY PARTNERSHIP OR ITS ASSETS OR
THAT THE TERMS OF THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP ARE AS FAVORABLE AS COULD BE
OBTAINED IN A THIRD PARTY SALE
In September 1999, we first announced our willingness to consider third
party offers to purchase any partnership or its assets at prices that are higher
than the 1999 merger value for the partnership, but subject to our right to
continue operation of the properties. Other than announcing that we will
consider third party offers for any partnership or its assets, we have not
actively solicited bids from third parties. We believed this invitation for
third party bids would result in a better price to the limited partners of each
partnership than if we merely offered the partnership or its assets for sale at
any price. Since that time, we have not received any third party offer for any
partnership or its assets. As a result, we cannot be sure what the market demand
is for any partnership or its assets, individually or as a whole with the other
partnerships, or what a third party would offer for any partnership. Also,
although we do not have any plans to sell or relinquish our operating rights in
any third party sale, we cannot be sure what the market demand is for any
partnership or its assets if we also sold or relinquished our operating rights.
We cannot assure you that the terms of the merger of each partnership are as
favorable as could be obtained from a sale of any partnership or its assets,
individually or as a whole with the other partnerships, to an unrelated party.
POTENTIAL LITIGATION CHALLENGING THE MERGER OF A PARTNERSHIP MAY DELAY OR BLOCK
THE MERGER AND, AS A RESULT, YOUR RECEIPT OF THE PIONEER PARENT COMMON STOCK
One or more of the partners opposed to the merger of a partnership in which
such partner or partners own an interest may initiate legal action to stop the
merger of the partnership or to seek damages for alleged violations of federal
and state laws. Litigation challenging the merger of any partnership may delay
or block the closing of the merger for one or more of the partnerships. In
addition, if any lawsuits are filed, Pioneer Parent or Pioneer USA may decide to
terminate one or more of the mergers. If the merger of a partnership in which
you own an interest is delayed, blocked or terminated, we will delay or
terminate the issuance of the Pioneer Parent common stock that you would
otherwise receive.

REPURCHASE OFFERS IN 2001 BY EACH OF THE SIX PARTNERSHIPS WITH A REPURCHASE
OBLIGATION WERE HIGHER THAN THE MERGER VALUE FOR THE PARTNERSHIP
The limited partners of each of the partnerships listed below may require
us to repurchase their partnership interests for cash at the times and under the
conditions described in the partnership agreements for the partnership:
Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 83-B, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd.
The 2001 repurchase offers were commenced and completed before the date of
this document. In each of the partnerships with a repurchase obligation, the
repurchase price in 2001 is higher than the price being offered in the merger of
the partnership. For a list of the repurchase prices in 2001 and the prior two
years, see Table 8 of Appendix A. For a description of the mechanics of the
repurchase rights, see "Special Factors -- Fairness Opinion -- Repurchase
Offers" on page 43.
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 a finite-life investment. The
partners of each partnership receive regular cash distributions out of the
partnership's net operating income and special distributions upon liquidation of
the partnership's oil and gas assets. In contrast, Pioneer Parent intends to
operate for an indefinite period of time and has no specific plans for the sale
of its investments. Because Pioneer Parent will spend a portion of its cash flow
on acquisitions, drilling and other activities, the activities of Pioneer Parent
may involve higher levels of risk than those associated with the present or
future operations of each partnership. Instead of having their investments
liquidated through the liquidation of Pioneer Parent's assets, stockholders
should expect to be able to liquidate their investment in Pioneer Parent only
through the sale of their Pioneer Parent common stock in the market. The amount
realized through the sale of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock may not be
equal to the amount that would have been realized by stockholders through the
sale of Pioneer Parent's assets. For a description of the differences between
the terms of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock and partnership interests in
each partnership, see "Comparison of Rights of Stockholders and Partners" on
page 79.
22
35
LIMITED PARTNERS WHO BECOME PIONEER PARENT STOCKHOLDERS WILL OWN AN INVESTMENT
THAT WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE MARKET RISKS ATTENDANT TO AN INVESTMENT IN A PUBLIC
COMPANY
Limited Partners who become Pioneer Parent stockholders will own an
investment in a public company traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the
Toronto Stock Exchange that does not currently pay a dividend, rather than an
investment in a limited partnership with a limited trading market that pays
regular cash distributions. Limited Partners who become Pioneer Parent
stockholders will therefore be subject to the market risks attendant to an
investment in a public company. An investment in Pioneer Parent common stock
will fluctuate from time to time depending upon general market conditions,
conditions in the oil and gas industry, and Pioneer Parent's future performance.
In addition, there is the potential for decreased market prices for Pioneer
Parent common stock in the near term if significant numbers of limited partners
elect to sell their Pioneer Parent common stock following completion of the
proposed mergers.
PIONEER PARENT MIGHT NOT DECLARE DIVIDENDS
Limited partners of a participating partnership will become stockholders of
Pioneer Parent and will not receive cash distributions or will receive
distributions much smaller than the distributions received from the partnership.
Pioneer Parent's board of directors did not declare dividends to its
stockholders during 1999, 2000 or the six months ended June 30, 2001. The
determination of the amount of future cash dividends, if any, to be declared and
paid is in the sole discretion of Pioneer Parent's board of directors.
LIMITED PARTNERS WHO BECOME PIONEER PARENT STOCKHOLDERS MAY BE DILUTED
If all partnerships participate in the mergers, the shares of Pioneer
Parent common stock to be issued will represent approximately 6% of the shares
of Pioneer Parent common stock outstanding on the date of this document. That
percentage is based upon the number of shares to be issued upon the merger of
each partnership using an assumed average closing price of $18.00 per share of
Pioneer Parent common stock and may increase or decrease depending on the actual
number of shares issued upon the merger of each partnership, which number will
be determined using the actual average closing price of Pioneer Parent common
stock for the ten trading days ending three business days before the initial
date scheduled for the special meeting. Because of the increased liquidity
afforded to the limited partners of each partnership after the merger of the
partnership, all of those shares of Pioneer Parent common stock may be offered
for sale in a relatively short period of time, which could result in the price
at which shares of Pioneer Parent common stock trade after completion of the
merger of each partnership being less than the price at which such shares traded
immediately prior to the completion of the merger of each partnership. In
addition, limited partners of a partnership who become Pioneer Parent
stockholders will be subject to the risk that their equity interests in Pioneer
Parent may be diluted through the issuance of additional equity securities.
Pioneer Parent has the right to issue, at the discretion of its board of
directors, shares other than those to be issued in the merger of each
partnership, upon such terms and conditions and at such prices as its board of
directors may establish. In addition, Pioneer Parent may in the future issue
preferred stock that might have priority over the Pioneer Parent common stock as
to distributions and liquidation proceeds.
DIVIDENDS PAID TO PIONEER PARENT STOCKHOLDERS ARE TAXED AT TWO LEVELS
Pioneer Parent is taxed on its income, after deduction of expenses, at both
the federal and state levels. Pioneer Parent stockholders, including limited
partners who become Pioneer Parent stockholders, are separately taxed on the
receipt, if any, of dividends.
PIONEER PARENT'S PROFITABILITY IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT ON THE PRICES OF OIL AND GAS,
WHICH HAVE HISTORICALLY BEEN VERY VOLATILE
Pioneer Parent's revenues, profitability, cash flow and future rate of
growth are highly dependent on prices of oil and gas, which are affected by
numerous factors beyond Pioneer Parent's control. Oil and gas prices
historically have been very volatile. If the significant downward trend in oil
and gas prices experienced in 1998, as compared to 2000 and 1999, were to
resume, it would have a material adverse effect on Pioneer Parent's revenues,
profitability and cash flow and could result in a reduction in the carrying
value of Pioneer Parent's oil and gas properties and an increase in Pioneer
Parent's deferred tax asset valuation allowance.
23
36
PIONEER PARENT'S DRILLING ACTIVITIES MAY NOT BE PRODUCTIVE
Drilling involves numerous risks, including the risk that no commercially
productive gas or oil reservoirs will be encountered. The cost of drilling,
completing and operating wells is often uncertain and drilling operations may be
curtailed, delayed or canceled as a result of a variety of factors, including
- unexpected drilling conditions,
- pressure or irregularities in formations,
- equipment failures or accidents,
- adverse weather conditions, and
- shortages or delays in the delivery of equipment.
Pioneer Parent's future drilling activities may not be successful and, if
unsuccessful, such failure could have an adverse effect on Pioneer Parent's
future results of operations and financial condition. While all drilling,
whether developmental or exploratory, involves these risks, exploratory drilling
involves greater risks of dry holes or failure to find commercial quantities of
hydrocarbons. Because of the percentage of Pioneer Parent's capital budget
devoted to exploratory projects, it is likely that Pioneer Parent will continue
to experience exploration and abandonment expense.
PIONEER PARENT MAY BE REQUIRED TO RECOGNIZE NON-CASH CHARGES RELATING TO
UNPROVED PROPERTY COSTS
At December 31, 2000 and 1999, Pioneer Parent carried unproved property
costs of $229.2 million and $257.6 million, respectively. United States
generally accepted accounting principles require Pioneer Parent to periodically
evaluate these costs on a project-by-project basis in comparison to their
estimated value. These evaluations will be affected by
- results of exploration activities,
- commodity price outlooks,
- planned future sales, or
- expiration of all or a portion of the leases, contracts and permits
related to such projects.
If the quantity of potential reserves determined by such evaluations is not
sufficient to fully recover the cost invested in each project, Pioneer Parent
will recognize non-cash charges in the earnings of future periods. During 1999
and 1998, Pioneer Parent recognized non-cash impairment provisions of $17.9
million and $147.3 million, respectively, to reduce the carrying value of its
unproved properties.
PIONEER PARENT'S GROWTH DEPENDS ON ITS ABILITY TO ACQUIRE OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
ON A PROFITABLE BASIS
Acquisitions of producing oil and gas properties have been a key element of
Pioneer Parent's growth. Pioneer Parent's growth following the full development
of its existing property base could be impeded if it is unable to acquire
additional oil and gas properties on a profitable basis. The success of any
acquisition will depend on a number of factors, including the ability to
estimate accurately the recoverable volumes of reserves, rates of future
production and future net revenues attributable to reserves and to assess
possible environmental liabilities. All of these factors affect whether an
acquisition will ultimately generate cash flows sufficient to provide a suitable
return on investment. Even though Pioneer Parent performs a review of the
properties it seeks to acquire that it believes is consistent with industry
practices, such reviews are often limited in scope.
IF PIONEER PARENT IS UNABLE TO DISPOSE OF NON-STRATEGIC ASSETS AT ACCEPTABLE
PRICES, THIS WOULD HINDER ITS ABILITY TO MAKE CAPITAL RESOURCES AVAILABLE FOR
MORE PROFITABLE ACTIVITIES
Pioneer Parent regularly reviews its property base for the purpose of
identifying non-strategic assets, the disposition of which would increase
capital resources available for other activities and create organizational and
operational efficiencies. Various factors could materially affect the ability of
Pioneer Parent to dispose of non-strategic assets, including the availability of
purchasers willing to purchase the non-strategic assets at prices acceptable to
Pioneer Parent.
24
37
THE OPERATION OF NATURAL GAS PROCESSING PLANTS INVOLVES THE POTENTIAL FOR DAMAGE
CLAIMS
As of December 31, 2000, Pioneer Parent owns interests in nine natural gas
processing plants and four treating facilities. Pioneer Parent operates six of
the plants and all four treating facilities. There are significant risks
associated with the operation of natural gas processing plants. Gas and natural
gas liquids are volatile and explosive and may include carcinogens. Damage to or
misoperation of a natural gas processing plant or facility could result in an
explosion or the discharge of toxic gases, which could result in significant
damage claims in addition to interrupting a revenue source.
PIONEER PARENT IS NOT FULLY INSURED AGAINST OPERATING HAZARDS
Pioneer Parent's operations are subject to all the risks normally incident
to the oil and gas exploration and production business, including blowouts,
cratering, explosions and pollution and other environmental damage, any of which
could result in substantial losses to Pioneer Parent due to injury or loss of
life, damage to or destruction of wells, production facilities or other
property, clean-up responsibilities, regulatory investigations and penalties and
suspension of operations. Although Pioneer Parent currently maintains insurance
coverage that it considers reasonable and that is similar to that maintained by
comparable companies in the oil and gas industry, it is not fully insured
against certain of these risks, either because such insurance is not available
or because of high premium costs.
IN THE EVENT OF NONCOMPLIANCE, LIABILITIES UNDER ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS AND
REGULATIONS COULD BE SUBSTANTIAL
The oil and gas business is also subject to environmental hazards, such as
oil spills, gas leaks and ruptures and discharges of toxic substances or gases
that could expose Pioneer Parent to substantial liability due to pollution and
other environmental damage. A variety of federal, state and foreign laws and
regulations govern the environmental aspects of the oil and gas business.
Noncompliance with these laws and regulations may subject Pioneer Parent to
penalties, damages or other liabilities, and compliance may increase the cost of
Pioneer Parent's operations. Such laws and regulations may also affect the costs
of acquisitions.
Additionally, changes in environmental laws in the future could result in a
curtailment of production or processing or a material increase in the costs of
production, development, exploration or processing or could otherwise adversely
affect Pioneer Parent's operations and financial condition. Pollution and
similar environmental risks generally are not fully insurable.
THERE ARE FACTORS OUTSIDE OF PIONEER PARENT'S CONTROL WHICH COULD IMPAIR ITS
ABILITY TO SATISFY ITS DEBT OBLIGATIONS
Pioneer Parent is a borrower under fixed term senior notes and a line of
credit. The terms of Pioneer Parent's borrowings under the senior notes and the
line of credit specify scheduled debt repayments and require Pioneer Parent to
comply with covenants and restrictions. Pioneer Parent's ability to comply with
the debt repayment terms, associated covenants and restrictions is dependent on,
among other things, factors outside Pioneer Parent's direct control, such as
commodity prices, interest rates and competition for available debt financing.
THE OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY IS HIGHLY COMPETITIVE
Pioneer Parent competes with other companies, producers and operators for
acquisitions and in the exploration, development, production and marketing of
oil and gas. Some of these competitors have substantially greater financial and
other resources than Pioneer Parent.
PRESENT OR FUTURE REGULATIONS COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT PIONEER PARENT'S BUSINESS
AND OPERATIONS
Pioneer Parent's business is regulated by a variety of federal, state,
local and foreign laws and regulations. There can be no assurance that present
or future regulations will not adversely affect Pioneer Parent's business and
operations.
PIONEER PARENT HAS INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS THAT ARE SUBJECT TO INTERNATIONAL
ECONOMIC AND POLITICAL RISKS
At December 31, 2000, approximately 22% of Pioneer Parent's proved reserves
of oil, natural gas liquids and gas were located outside the United States (17%
in Argentina, 4% in Canada and 1% in South Africa). The success and
profitability of international operations may be adversely affected by risks
associated with international activities, including
- economic and labor conditions,
- political instability,
25
38
- tax laws, including United States taxes on foreign subsidiaries, and
- changes in the value of the United States dollar versus the local
currency.
To the extent that Pioneer Parent is involved in international activities,
changes in exchange rates may adversely affect Pioneer Parent's consolidated
revenues and expenses, as expressed in United States dollars.
NUMEROUS UNCERTAINTIES EXIST IN ESTIMATING PIONEER PARENT'S QUANTITIES OF PROVED
RESERVES AND FUTURE NET REVENUES
Estimates of proved reserves and related future net revenues are based on
various assumptions which may prove to be inaccurate. Therefore, those estimates
should not be construed as being accurate estimates of the current market value
of Pioneer Parent's proved reserves.

SPECIAL FACTORS
BACKGROUND OF THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP
The partnerships were formed from 1981 through 1991 under the sponsorship
of various affiliated companies collectively known as Parker & Parsley. On
February 19, 1991, Parker & Parsley's principal company converted from limited
partnership form to corporate form and acquired most of the assets of five oil
and gas limited partnerships. The new corporation was called Parker & Parsley
Petroleum Company, and it owned the sole or managing general partners of the
partnerships.
In early 1992, Parker & Parsley Petroleum Company decided that it could not
fully realize the benefits of the properties it had acquired while continuing to
devote substantial resources to the sponsorship of and drilling for
partnerships. It stopped sponsoring oil and gas development drilling and income
partnerships and focused on its corporate development. In 1997, Parker & Parsley
Petroleum Company and MESA Inc. combined their businesses in a merger that
created Pioneer Natural Resources Company. That same year, Pioneer Parent
combined many of its U.S. subsidiaries, including the managing or sole general
partner of each of the partnerships, into its main subsidiary, Pioneer USA.
From time to time since 1992, Pioneer Parent and its predecessors have had
general, internal discussions about whether to consolidate each partnership
pursuant to a merger or similar transaction with each partnership. On several
occasions, Pioneer Parent or its predecessors engaged outside legal counsel and
had discussions with investment banks about a possible combination with each of
the partnerships. Some of those discussions were with Stanger. The contemplated
structure of the combination has varied significantly during these internal
discussions and has included issuances of common stock, combinations of common
stock and cash, and cash-only transactions through asset sales, mergers, tender
offers, and combinations of those types of transactions. See "Special
Factors -- Reasons for the Merger of Each Partnership" for a discussion of why
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA selected the proposed transaction. In general,
the contemplated transactions would have been taxable to the limited partners of
each partnership because of the difficulties involved in structuring a tax-free
transaction for the partnership. Until 1999, every time Pioneer Parent or its
predecessors considered such a transaction, it decided not to complete the
transaction. The reasons Pioneer Parent and its predecessors did not previously
complete a transaction varied. In some early cases, they wanted to collect and
fully distribute proceeds to the limited partners of each partnership from
litigation against an oilfield services company before trying to value any
partnership. In other cases, they wanted to avoid periods of volatility in oil
and gas prices or in Pioneer Parent's stock price. On several occasions, Pioneer
Parent was involved in other corporate transactions that could not be completed
on schedule if a transaction with each partnership was also pending.
In early 1998, Pioneer Parent was formulating a strategic plan to focus on
its 25 core area oil and gas fields and to eliminate ancillary operations.
Pioneer Parent began discussions internally to consider a transaction involving
each partnership, including the basis for valuing each partnership and whether
the consideration should be Pioneer Parent common stock, cash or some
combination of both.
During the second quarter of 1998, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA began to
discuss the methods for valuing each partnership. At that time, the board of
directors of Pioneer USA engaged Sayles, Lidji & Werbner, A Professional
Corporation (then known as Sayles & Lidji, A Professional Corporation) based in
Dallas, Texas, as its independent legal counsel to assist the board in
evaluating a potential transaction with Pioneer Parent. Pioneer USA's board also
engaged Stanger as its financial advisor to review any proposed transaction and
to render an opinion as to the fairness of the offer price, from a financial
point of view, to the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership. In May
1998, Pioneer Parent submitted an offer to merge each partnership into Pioneer
USA using Pioneer Parent common stock or a combination of Pioneer Parent common
stock and cash. The pricing for that offer was primarily based on oil and gas
prices and the present value of estimated future net revenues from each
partnership's oil and gas reserves, in each case as of December 31, 1997. The
present value of estimated future net revenues was determined in accordance with
the SEC's reporting convention that provides a common basis for comparing oil
and gas companies and requires the use of oil and gas prices as of the date of
computation, but using a 15% 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
27
40
May 1998 offer. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA decided to discontinue further
discussions and not to submit the proposed transaction to the limited partners
of any partnership because of:
- the continued decline in oil prices, which in turn would reduce any
merger value to be paid to the limited partners of each partnership;
- the decline in Pioneer Parent's stock price; and
- the tight lending environment for many oil and gas companies, including
Pioneer Parent.
As oil and gas prices improved, in June 1999, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer
USA again began discussions internally to consider a transaction involving each
partnership. At that time, Scott Sheffield, the President and Chief Executive
Officer of Pioneer Parent, contacted members of Pioneer USA's board regarding
consideration of a potential transaction involving each partnership. Pioneer
Parent did not submit a written offer to Pioneer USA at that time.
During the second quarter of 1999, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA attempted
to formally address the conflicting interests inherent in the relationships
among Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA, each partnership and the officers and
directors of Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA caused Scott D.
Sheffield to resign from Pioneer USA's board of directors because he is also a
member of Pioneer Parent's board of directors. He was not replaced. Pioneer USA
did not consider replacing Mr. Sheffield with an unaffiliated director because
Pioneer USA is a 100% subsidiary of Pioneer Parent and typically such
wholly-owned subsidiaries do not have unaffiliated directors. Because all of the
board members of Pioneer USA are also employees of Pioneer Parent, an inherent
conflict exists with respect to their duties to the limited partners of each
partnership in their capacity as directors of Pioneer USA, on the one hand, and
their duties to Pioneer Parent as employees, on the other hand.
Shortly thereafter, Pioneer USA's board again engaged Sayles, Lidji &
Werbner to advise the board in connection with a proposed transaction with
Pioneer Parent and any other alternative transaction that the board determined
was worth consideration.
Pioneer USA's board also engaged, on behalf of each partnership, Stanger,
as its financial advisor to advise the board on the fairness from a financial
point of view of the merger value for each partnership to be paid to the
unaffiliated limited partners in the partnership for the limited partnership
interests in the partnership and to assist in Pioneer USA's evaluation of the
merger transaction and other strategic alternatives. Stanger was familiar with
the circumstances from its 1998 engagement.
On July 14, 1999, Pioneer USA's board met with its counsel and Stanger to
discuss the proposed merger of each partnership. Stanger presented an overview
of the analysis it planned to perform in evaluating the fairness of the proposed
transaction. Stanger advised Pioneer USA's board that Stanger would review the
following for each partnership:
- the reserve report to be prepared by Williamson Petroleum Consultants,
Inc. as of September 30, 1999;
- the most recent quarterly financial statements;
- the estimated cash distributions;
- the estimated net asset value, going concern value and liquidation value;
- secondary market prices;
- tender offers; and
- repurchase offers.
Sayles, Lidji & Werbner then reviewed and discussed with the board the
procedures that would be involved in completing the proposed transaction with
Pioneer Parent. The discussion topics included:
- the process in which Pioneer USA's board of directors would approve the
proposed transaction;
- the submission of the proposed merger of each partnership to the limited
partners of the partnership for approval;
- the evaluation of offers from third parties;
- the application of and compliance with the requirements of the federal
securities laws; and
- the timing of the proposed transaction.
28
41
Members of the Pioneer USA board met informally on several occasions during
July and early August to discuss among each other the proposed terms of the
merger transaction and other potential alternative transactions, including the
formation of a royalty trust or a master limited partnership.
On August 16, 1999, at a special meeting of the Pioneer USA board, the
board met with representatives of Sayles, Lidji & Werbner and Stanger to discuss
the proposed merger of each partnership into Pioneer USA. Pioneer USA's board
discussed with the representatives of Stanger and Sayles, Lidji & Werbner the
proposed terms of the offer expected from Pioneer Parent, including the expected
pricing parameters of $18 per Bbl of oil and $2.40 per Mcf of gas and the
expected timing of receipt of Pioneer Parent's formal written offer. Stanger
discussed the progress it was making on its financial analysis of each
partnership and its determination of the fairness from a financial point of view
of the merger value for each partnership to be paid in cash for the limited
partners' interests in the partnership. Stanger's discussion centered on (1) the
price to be paid for the oil and gas reserves, (2) the discount rate, (3) the
application of overhead charges and administrative charges, and (4) the
responsibility for any transaction expenses. Following this discussion, the
board and its counsel discussed the board's fiduciary duties in evaluating the
proposed transaction with Pioneer Parent and the making of a recommendation to
the unaffiliated limited partners. Finally, the board decided to request that
Pioneer Parent make a formal written offer outlining the terms of the proposed
merger transaction.
On August 17, 1999, in response to Pioneer USA's request for a written
offer, Pioneer Parent delivered to Pioneer USA's board a written proposal which
outlined the terms of the proposed merger transaction. The written offer
specified that the pricing for the oil and gas reserves would be based on 95% of
the arithmetic average of a four-year or five-year NYMEX futures price. The
future cash flows generated by this pricing structure would then be discounted
using a 15% discount rate. At a special meeting that day of Pioneer USA's board,
the board, its counsel and Stanger met to discuss the specifics of Pioneer
Parent's offer, including oil and gas pricing, the present value discount rate,
the right to allow others to bid on the property, and the costs of the merger of
each partnership. Following the board meeting, Pioneer USA's directors
determined that it would be advantageous to each partnership to seek more
favorable pricing terms and a lower discount rate. Thus, the board decided to
continue discussions of the written offer.
On August 23, 1999, at a special meeting of Pioneer USA's board, the board
updated its counsel and Stanger on the status of its discussions with Pioneer
Parent. As a result of continued discussions, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA
agreed, in response to requests by Stanger, (1) to reduce the discount rate from
15% to 12.5%, (2) to increase the pricing of the oil reserves from 95% of the
arithmetic average of a four-year or five-year NYMEX futures price to 100% of
the arithmetic average of the five-year NYMEX futures price, (3) to a fixed
price of $2.40 per Mcf of gas instead of a floating NYMEX futures price and (4)
to allocate the merger expenses and fees to each participating partnership.
On September 2, 1999, at a special meeting of Pioneer USA's board, the
board and representatives of Stanger and Sayles, Lidji & Werbner reviewed the
terms of a revised proposal submitted by Pioneer Parent which incorporated these
changes. The parties discussed the revised terms of the merger of each
partnership and the strategic rationale for and benefits of the merger of each
partnership. At this meeting, Stanger reviewed with the board its financial
analysis and its evaluation of the merger consideration and the feasibility of
other strategic alternatives. Stanger also orally presented to the board the
status of its findings and its preliminary evaluation of the proposed
transaction.
After considering Stanger's evaluation of the proposed merger transaction,
Pioneer USA's board, together with representatives of Stanger, engaged in a
general discussion of other possible transactions it had considered over the
last six to eight months. This discussion included anticipated ongoing
operations of each partnership under its current structure and the operation of
each partnership through a master limited partnership structure, as well as
through a royalty trust. The board discussed selling the oil and gas properties
of each partnership at auction and potentially soliciting other buyers or merger
partners. The board also considered the fact that other potential buyers of each
partnership would have an opportunity to make an offer for each partnership
before the board submitted the merger transaction to the limited partners of
each partnership for their consideration and approval.
At a special meeting held on September 8, 1999, Pioneer USA's board
continued discussions with Sayles, Lidji & Werbner and Stanger regarding the
merger proposals for each partnership. After considering the alternatives
discussed in the preceding paragraph, including the advantages and disadvantages
of each, the board concluded that none of the alternatives was more advantageous
to the limited partners of any partnership than the terms of the proposed merger
of the partnership. The board then unanimously approved proceeding with the
merger of each partnership, subject to determination of September 30, 1999
pricing, its receipt of Stanger's fairness opinion, and the board's
determination that the merger consideration of each partnership is fair to the
unaffiliated limited partners of that partnership based on all circumstances as
of September 30, 1999, including without limitation, the then current market
conditions and the existence, if any, of any other proposal for the partnership
on terms more favorable to the limited partners.
29
42
On September 8, 1999, in connection with the proposed merger transaction,
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA filed a preliminary proxy statement and
preliminary Schedule 13e-3s with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In
addition, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA publicly announced the proposed merger
of each partnership. In that announcement, Pioneer USA also announced that it
would consider proposals from other potential buyers of one or more of the
partnerships.
On or about October 19, 1999, Pioneer Parent submitted a verbal offer to
Pioneer USA to revise the oil reserve component of the pricing used in the
preliminary proxy statement to $18.35 per Bbl of oil. On or about November 3,
1999, Pioneer Parent submitted a second verbal offer to Pioneer USA to further
revise the oil reserve pricing to $18.40 per Bbl of oil. Later that month, due
to the increase in oil and gas prices over the previous several months and in
response to a request from Pioneer USA, Pioneer Parent proposed to Pioneer USA
that the merger value calculation for each partnership be further modified (1)
to increase the pricing to $18.90 per Bbl for oil and $2.55 per Mcf of gas and
(2) to increase the discount rate to 15%.
On November 17, 1999, in connection with the approval of Pioneer Parent's
capital budget for 2000, Pioneer Parent's board of directors met and voted to
approve the merger of each partnership and to proceed with the completion of
each merger, subject to the pricing information and other relevant conditions at
the time.
At a special board meeting held on November 22, 1999, Pioneer USA's board
of directors met with representatives from Stanger and Sayles, Lidji & Werbner
to discuss Pioneer Parent's proposed pricing. Pioneer USA's board agreed that an
increase in the merger value for each partnership based on Pioneer Parent's
proposed pricing was warranted to more closely reflect the current oil and gas
prices. Similarly, in view of increases in interest rates during the months
since the original proposal was made and in view of the volatility of oil and
gas prices over the previous year, Pioneer USA's board agreed to increase the
discount rate used to determine the merger value for each partnership from 12.5%
to 15%. Pioneer USA's board reported that management had worked to reduce the
expected merger expenses and fees from an estimated $4.6 million to an estimated
$1.8 million, thereby increasing the merger value for each partnership to be
received by the limited partners of the partnership. The board also received a
status report on whether or not any third party offers had been received since
September 8, 1999, the date on which Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA announced
that it would consider such offers. In that regard, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer
USA had not received any formal offers, but did receive a few inquiries from
third parties expressing an interest in possibly making a bid on one or more of
the partnerships or the assets of one or more of the partnerships. The nature of
the inquiries was to understand the structure and pricing of the transaction
proposed by Pioneer and Pioneer USA. None of the third parties who made
inquiries (1) specified any terms, (2) made any offer or (3) have pursued the
matter further. The board then voted to extend the period it would be willing to
consider third party offers from November 1, 1999 to December 31, 1999. Stanger
then reviewed for the board Stanger's analysis of the fairness of the merger
transaction using the new terms agreed to by Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA.
Stanger expressed its preliminary view that the revised merger value for each
partnership to be paid in cash for the limited partnership interests in each
partnership would be fair from a financial point of view to the unaffiliated
limited partners of the partnership under recent market conditions, but stated
that whether or not the transaction would be considered fair by Stanger at the
time its fairness opinion was sought would depend on market conditions at that
time. Following this discussion, the board approved proceeding with the merger
of each partnership on the new terms, subject to (1) its receipt of a fairness
opinion from Stanger, and (2) its determination that the merger value to be paid
in cash for the limited partnership interests in each partnership is fair to the
unaffiliated limited partners of the partnership based on all circumstances,
including without limitation, the then current market conditions and the
existence, if any, of any other proposal for such partnership or its assets on
terms more favorable to the unaffiliated limited partners than the proposed
merger transaction.
In December 1999, Pioneer Parent became involved in discussions with an
independent oil and gas company similar in size to Pioneer Parent relating to a
corporate merger opportunity. Those discussions required the dedicated time and
attention of Pioneer Parent's management. The corporate merger opportunity
subsequently failed to come to fruition. Meanwhile, during December 1999 and the
first quarter of 2000, oil and gas prices continued to increase. As a result,
during the first quarter of 2000, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA began to
discuss revising the pricing terms of the proposed merger transaction to (1) an
arithmetic average of the five-year NYMEX futures price for oil and for gas and
(2) a 15% discount rate. Pioneer Parent also proposed to offer Pioneer Parent
common stock instead of cash to the limited partners of each participating
partnership. In April 2000, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA discontinued these
discussions and did not submit the proposed merger transaction to the limited
partners of any partnership because of:
- the decline in Pioneer Parent's stock price;
- the increase in interest rates; and
- Pioneer Parent's involvement in replacing existing debt with new
publicly-held debt and a new credit facility.

In September 2000, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA began internal
discussions to consider a merger transaction involving 13 privately-held
employee limited partnerships. Pioneer Parent offered to pay an amount of cash
to the limited partners of each participating partnership equal to the sum of
the present value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's
estimated oil and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of
September 30, 2000, less the cash distributions on October 15, 2000 and November
15, 2000, by the partnership to its partners. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA
calculated the present value of the estimated future net revenues from each
partnership's estimated oil and gas reserves using (1) a five-year NYMEX futures
price for oil and gas as of August 25, 2000, with prices held constant after
year five at the year five price, less standard industry adjustments, (2)
historical operating costs adjusted only for those items affected by commodity
prices, such as production taxes and ad valorem taxes, and (3) a 13.5% discount
rate. Pioneer Parent also agreed to bear the merger expenses and fees. Using the
same parameters as described above, Pioneer Parent purchased all of the direct
oil and gas interests held by Scott D. Sheffield, its chairman of the board of
directors and chief executive officer, for $0.2 million during October 2000. The
consideration paid in the mergers of the employee limited partnerships and in
the purchase of the direct oil and gas interests was all cash since offering and
registering Pioneer Parent common stock in those transactions was
cost-prohibitive due to the small size of such transactions. In December 2000,
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA completed the merger of each of the 13
privately-held employee limited partnerships with and into Pioneer USA.
In October 2000, Pioneer Parent terminated the preliminary proxy statement
and preliminary Schedule 13e-3s filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on September 8, 1999 in connection with the proposed merger
transaction.
As oil and gas prices continued to improve, in January 2001, Pioneer Parent
and Pioneer USA renewed their internal discussions to consider a transaction
involving each of the partnerships described in this document. For a discussion
of why Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA selected the proposed merger transaction,
see "Alternative Transactions to the Merger of Each Partnership" on page 46.
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
authorized its officers to communicate its offer to the board of directors of
Pioneer USA, as general partner of the partnerships, and to negotiate the terms
of the mergers with Pioneer USA. Pioneer Parent's board of directors also voted
to approve the merger of each partnership into its subsidiary Pioneer USA, 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
31
44
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 each partnership (1)
to the limited partners of each partnership as a group, (2) to the general
partners of each partnership as a group, (3) to Pioneer USA as the managing or
sole general partner of each partnership, (4) to the unaffiliated limited
partners of each partnership as a group and (5) to the unaffiliated limited
partners of the nonmanaging general partner, if any, of each partnership as a
group, is fair to the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership and the
unaffiliated limited partners of the nonmanaging general partner, if any, of
each partnership, from a financial point of view. The board decided to proceed
with the merger transaction, but would withhold recommending the merger
transaction to the limited partners or executing the merger agreement until it
received the fairness opinion from Stanger and determined that the merger of
each partnership is advisable, fair to the unaffiliated limited partners and in
the unaffiliated limited partners' best interests.
On April 17, 2001, in connection with the proposed merger transaction,
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA filed a registration statement on Form S-4 and
preliminary Schedule 13e-3s with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In
addition, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA publicly announced the proposed merger
of each partnership. In that announcement, Pioneer USA also announced that it
would continue to consider proposals from other potential buyers of any
partnership or its assets.
On or about April 30, 2001, Stanger contacted members of Pioneer USA's
board and expressed concern regarding the pricing terms of the merger
transaction which Stanger had received during the week ended April 15, 2001.
Based on Stanger's updated analysis of the new pricing terms for the merger
transaction, Stanger questioned whether the merger value was fair to the
unaffiliated limited partners of the partnerships and the unaffiliated limited
partners of the nonmanaging general partners of the partnerships from a
financial point of view. Stanger's updated analysis included (i) an analysis of
reserve values under six alternative pricing cases and discount rate
assumptions, (ii) a review of reserve pricing parameters, (iii) a summary of
selected recent reserve acquisition transactions, (iv) a review of the trading
history, net asset value estimates and projected cash flow for Pioneer Parent,
and (v) a review of the revised offer price per $1,000 investment in each
partnership and a comparison to such partnership's net asset value, going
concern value, liquidation value, secondary market price, tender offers and
repurchase offers, as applicable. After discussions between members of Pioneer
USA's board and Stanger to discuss pricing terms which Stanger and the Pioneer
USA board believed would be fair to the unaffiliated limited partners of the
partnerships and the unaffiliated limited partners of the nonmanaging general
partners of the partnerships from a financial point of view, the Pioneer USA
board requested that Stanger meet with Pioneer Parent to discuss the issue.
Stanger met with officers of Pioneer Parent on June 15, 2001, to discuss
Stanger's concerns about the proposed pricing terms of the mergers and the need
for new pricing terms that were more favorable to the partnerships in order to
support a fairness opinion.
On May 7, 2001, Pioneer USA received proposed solicitation materials
prepared by Sierra Fund 3 indicating that Sierra Fund planned to make a tender
offer for up to 4.9% of the limited partnership interests of Parker & Parsley
88-A, L.P. and Parker & Parsley 89-A, L.P. at a price equivalent to $200 and
$240 per $1,000 initial investment, respectively, in each of the partnerships.
Sierra Fund requested and received a list of limited partners of these
partnerships. On June 28, 2001, Pioneer USA learned that on or about June 14,
2001 Sierra Fund made a tender offer for up to 4.9% of the limited partnership
interests of Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd., Parker & Parsley 83-B, Ltd., Parker &
Parsley 84-A, Ltd., Parker & Parsley 85-A, Ltd., Parker & Parsley 86-B, Ltd.,
and Parker & Parsley 87-B, Ltd. at a price equivalent to $75, $85, $110, $80,
$110 and $110 per $1,000 investment, respectively, in each of the partnerships.
On July 11, 2001, as required by law, Pioneer USA filed with the SEC a response
to each of Sierra Fund's tender offers taking a neutral position with respect to
each tender offer.
Three other limited partners have expressed interest to Pioneer USA in
either making offers for the assets of particular partnerships or in purchasing
the limited partnership interests of other limited partners. In May 2001,
Salvage Investors, L.L.C. expressed interest in making an offer for the assets
of Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd. but did not indicate a price at which it would be
willing to purchase those assets. Also in May 2001, Horace Potts IV expressed
interest in making an offer for the assets of unspecified partnerships or,
alternatively, in soliciting higher offers on the assets of those partnerships,
but did not indicate a price at which he would be willing to purchase those
assets. In June 2001, Nancy R. Schauer 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
32
45
Development, L.P. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA do not know if Mr. Smith
contacted any limited partners of those partnerships.
On June 12, 2001, the Pioneer USA board of directors voted to change the
method for allocating the expenses of the mergers such that (i) the limited
partners of the participating partnerships would bear their pro rata portion of
the merger expenses, and (ii) the limited partners of each nonparticipating
partnership would bear a portion of the merger expenses equal to the number of
limited partnership interests of such partnership voting in favor of the merger
divided by the total number of limited partnership interests of such partnership
voting on the merger.
On June 18, 2001, in follow-up discussions between Pioneer Parent, Pioneer
USA and Stanger, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA orally agreed, subject to the
approval of their respective boards, to revise the pricing terms of the merger
transaction as follows: (1) that the merger value for each partnership would
equal the sum of the partnership's reserve value and its working capital, in
each case as of March 31, 2001, less the cash distribution to be paid in July
2001 and less the partnership's pro rata share of expenses and fees to be
incurred in connection with the mergers of all of the partnerships, except that
Pioneer Parent would pay (A) any such expenses and fees in excess of $2,000,000
in the aggregate and (B) a portion of such expenses and fees otherwise allocable
to any nonparticipating partnership, (2) to reduce the discount rate that would
be used in calculating the present value of the estimated future net revenues
from 13.5% to 10%, (3) to change the composition of the payment of the merger
value for each partnership from 25% in cash and 75% in shares of Pioneer Parent
common stock to 100% in shares of Pioneer Parent common stock based on the
average closing price of the Pioneer Parent common stock, as reported by the New
York Stock Exchange, for the ten trading days ending three days business days
before the date of the special meeting of the partnership, and (4) to engage
Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. to review the estimate of each
partnership's reserves and the present value of the estimated future net
revenues from those estimated reserves as of March 31, 2001. The effect of the
revised pricing terms was to increase the merger consideration that would be
paid to each of the participating partnerships upon completion of the merger
transaction.
On June 21, 2001, Pioneer Parent's board met and approved the revised
pricing terms.
At a special meeting held on June 21, 2001, Pioneer USA's board continued
discussions with Sayles, Lidji & Werbner and Stanger regarding the merger
proposals for each partnership. Stanger also orally presented to Pioneer USA's
board the status of its findings and its preliminary evaluation of the proposed
transaction based on the new pricing terms for the merger transaction. Pioneer
USA's board decided that it would take the recommendation of the merger
transaction to the limited partners of each partnership under advisement, so
that the board members could review the written presentation materials provided
by Stanger and the revised written offer to be submitted by Pioneer Parent, and
agreed to convene a special meeting on June 25, 2001.
On June 22, 2001, Pioneer Parent submitted its written offer with the
revised pricing terms to Pioneer USA.
On June 25, 2001, Pioneer USA's board held a special meeting with Sayles,
Lidji & Werbner and Stanger to discuss the merger proposals for each partnership
and Stanger's fairness opinion. The board then unanimously approved proceeding
with the merger of each partnership, subject to (1) the execution of a
definitive merger agreement, (2) its receipt of Stanger's fairness opinion, and
(3) the Securities and Exchange Commission's declaration that the registration
statement that includes this document is effective under the Securities Act of
1933.
On July 3, 2001, Pioneer USA received a letter from a publicly-traded
independent oil and gas company indicating its interest in making an offer to
acquire the partnerships or the partnerships' assets. At the company's request,
Pioneer USA provided a draft confidentiality agreement and established a data
room as a predicate to the company's review of the partnerships and the
partnerships' assets. In August, the company informed Pioneer USA that it
decided not to pursue the acquisition of the partnerships or the partnerships'
assets.
On July 27, 2001, in order to make the transaction more favorable to the
limited partners, Pioneer Parent agreed to bear the merger expenses of the
nonparticipating partnerships, and therefore to eliminate the requirement that
the nonparticipating partnerships bear a portion of the merger expenses.
In a special meeting of the board of Pioneer USA held on August 20, 2001,
Stanger presented its analysis of the merger transaction and delivered its
fairness opinion dated August 20, 2001, that the merger value for each
partnership and the allocation of such merger value (1) to the limited partners
of each partnership as a group, (2) to the general partners of each partnership
as a group, (3) to Pioneer USA as the managing or sole general partner of each
partnership, (4) to the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership as a
group and (5) to the unaffiliated limited partners of the nonmanaging general
partner, if any, of each partnership as a group, is fair to the unaffiliated
limited partners of each partnership and the unaffiliated limited partners of
the nonmanaging general partner, if any, of each partnership, from a
33
46
financial point of view. Although Stanger's fairness opinion found that
repurchase offers in six limited partnerships and one secondary market
transaction in three limited partnerships were at prices higher than the merger
value per $1,000 original investment in those partnerships, the board of Pioneer
USA accepted Stanger's conclusion as to the fairness, from a financial point of
view, of the merger value and the allocation of the merger value. In doing so,
the board of Pioneer USA took into consideration the change in prices of oil and
gas since the prices on which the repurchase offers and secondary market
transactions were based and also took into account that neither the repurchase
offers nor the secondary market afford all limited partners liquidity for all
their interests in the limited partnerships. The board of Pioneer USA then
unanimously determined that the merger proposals for each partnership are
advisable, fair to the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership and in
the best interests of the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership.
Accordingly, the board recommended that the unaffiliated limited partners of
each partnership vote for the merger proposals.
In a special meeting of the board of Pioneer USA held on September 19,
2001, the board of Pioneer USA unanimously reaffirmed its August 20, 2001,
determination that the merger proposals for each partnership are advisable, fair
to the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership, and in the best
interests of the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership. Accordingly,
the board recommended that the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership
vote for the merger proposals and authorized the officers of Pioneer USA to
execute the merger agreement.
On September 20, 2001, Pioneer, Pioneer USA and the partnerships signed the
merger agreement.
REASONS FOR THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP
General. For all of the reasons listed below, Pioneer Parent believes that
it is the party in the position to pay the highest price for the limited
partnership interests of each partnership. Pioneer USA also believes that
Pioneer Parent is the most likely buyer for each partnership's properties in
light of:
- Pioneer USA's operation of most of the properties;
- Pioneer USA's extensive property holdings in the same fields; and
- Pioneer Parent's ability to achieve efficiencies by consolidating
operations with its existing operations in the same areas.
Pioneer Parent's Reasons. Pioneer Parent believes that completion of the
merger of each partnership at this time is advantageous to it for the following
reasons:
- Consolidate Core Area of Operations. The Spraberry field of the Permian
Basin is one of Pioneer Parent's 25 fields of focus in its strategic
plan. Acquisition of each partnership's properties would help consolidate
Pioneer Parent's operations in the Spraberry field and achieve operating
efficiencies. Pioneer USA operates most of each partnership's wells, and
Pioneer Parent has extensive properties around each partnership's
properties, including interests in most of each partnership's wells.
- Achieve Operating Efficiencies. Pioneer Parent expects to improve
operating efficiencies with respect to the properties acquired in the
merger of each partnership because it will be able to com-mingle
production of oil from each participating partnership's properties with
production of oil from other Pioneer Parent properties for storage,
transportation and sale. Production of oil from each partnership's
properties is predominantly segregated from Pioneer Parent's production
of oil until sale. Gas production is currently, and will continue to be,
metered, which means that it is measured and allocated based on
ownership.
- Achieve Administrative Efficiencies. Pioneer Parent will eliminate the
time spent by Pioneer Parent employees related to preparing and filing
each partnership's separate tax returns, financial statements and, for
each reporting partnership, reports with the SEC, as well as dealing with
the concerns of approximately 29,000 limited partners of
34
47
record. 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 6 as well as the following
factors:
- Maturity of Partnerships and Properties. Although each partnership's
properties were long-lived at the formation of the partnership, each
partnership's properties are now mature, ranging from approximately 10 to
approximately 20 years old. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA anticipated
that at some point each partnership would need to be liquidated. Pioneer
USA is recommending the merger transaction for each partnership at this
time because:
- Pioneer USA believes that Pioneer Parent is the most likely buyer and
is the only potential buyer with an offer outstanding. While third
parties have made inquiries, no one except Pioneer Parent has made an
offer to Pioneer USA to acquire any of the partnerships.
- Oil and gas prices have recovered from significant lows in 1998. As a
result, Pioneer USA believes that Pioneer Parent's pricing is higher
than it would have been otherwise.
- As our production continues to decline, administrative expenses for
each partnership are increasing on a per BOE produced basis. Moreover,
the administrative cost of continuing to produce each partnership to
depletion could be significant, especially if no buyer is available at
the time each partnership is shut down.
- As discussed below, the tax incentives for which each partnership
(other than Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-A, Ltd., Parker &
Parsley Producing Properties 87-B, Ltd. and Parker & Parsley Producing
Properties 88-A, L.P., which were formed to purchase producing
properties) was originally formed have been realized.
- Declining Cash Flows. As each partnership's properties have matured, the
net cash flows from operations for the partnership have generally
declined, except in periods of substantially increasing commodity prices.
See Table 7 of Appendix A for each partnership's historical cash
distributions. The marginal benefit of continuing the operations of each
partnership is offset by the related administrative costs. These
administrative costs consume an increasing amount, and ultimately will
consume the entire amount, of the cash flows of each partnership as
production declines.
- Tax Incentives Have Been Realized. Each partnership (other than Parker &
Parsley Producing Properties 87-A, Ltd., Parker & Parsley Producing
Properties 87-B, Ltd. and Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 88-A,
L.P., which were formed to purchase producing properties) was intended to
provide to its partners federal income tax deductions for intangible
drilling and development costs incurred by the partnership during the
initial years of the partnership. Pioneer USA believes that the tax
incentives have been realized through the drilling activities that each
partnership has completed.
- Partnership Tax Burdens May Now Exceed Benefits. As net cash flow
available for distribution of each partnership has declined or, at times,
disappeared, some limited partners of the partnership may incur greater
costs to include their share of the tax information of the partnership in
their returns than they receive in cash distributions. In any event, all
limited partners of each partnership are expected to benefit by the
elimination of the obligation to include partnership information in their
tax returns for the years after the merger of each partnership in which
they own interests.
- Each Partnership is Unable to Access Additional Capital. Pioneer Parent,
through its subsidiary, Pioneer USA, has the ability, financial and
otherwise, to take advantage of corporate opportunities to expand its
reserve base through acquisitions. None of the partnerships has the
ability to raise capital for reserve acquisitions or development of any
undeveloped reserves. The partnership agreements of the partnerships do
not authorize the partnerships to raise additional capital, whether debt
or equity. Even if the partnership agreement of each partnership is
amended to authorize additional capital, Pioneer Parent does not believe
that the limited partners of the partnership would desire to contribute
additional capital or to apply all cash flow to debt service, while
remaining taxable on the related income.
35
48
- Fairness of Procedures. Pioneer USA considered the following factors in
making its recommendation that the unaffiliated limited partners vote for
the merger proposals for each partnership in which they own interests:
- None of the partnerships has any employees or directors, and all of
Pioneer USA's directors are officers of Pioneer USA and of Pioneer
Parent. As a result, there has been no approval by directors who are
not Pioneer Parent employees.
- Pioneer USA did not retain an unaffiliated representative to act solely
on behalf of the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership for
purposes of negotiating the terms of the merger of the partnership or
preparing a report concerning the fairness of the merger of the
partnership.
- Since Pioneer USA is entitled to vote its limited partnership interests
other than as described below, the transaction is not structured so
that the approval of at least a majority of unaffiliated limited
partnership interests is required. Pioneer USA intends to vote in favor
of the transaction for the partnership interests it holds as a limited
partner of each partnership as permitted by the partnership agreement
of each partnership except in the following partnerships where the
partnership agreement does not allow Pioneer USA to vote on the
proposed transaction:
Parker & Parsley 85-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 85-B, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley Private Investment 85-A, Ltd
Parker & Parsley Selected 85 Private Investment, Ltd
Parker & Parsley Private Investment 86, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P.
Despite the foregoing factors, Pioneer USA believes each merger is
procedurally fair to the unaffiliated limited partners of each
partnership because:
- Pioneer USA has been willing to consider any offer from third parties
to purchase any partnership or the assets of any partnership since
September 8, 1999, and will continue to do so, although Pioneer USA has
not actively solicited any third party offers during this time; and
- Pioneer Parent does not directly own any partnership interests in the
partnerships. Pioneer Parent beneficially owns all of Pioneer USA's
partnership interests in the partnerships. Pioneer USA does not
beneficially own more than 5% of the outstanding limited partnership
interests in any partnership, except Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd.,
Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd. and Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd. In those
partnerships, Pioneer USA repurchased and now owns partnership
interests representing the following beneficial ownership percentages:
Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd.............................5.84%
Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd............................11.71%
Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd...........................5.97%
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 71 of
this document and Table 6 of Appendix A to this document.
- Fairness of Transaction. Pioneer USA's board of directors determined
that the merger of each partnership is advisable, fair to the
unaffiliated limited partners of the partnership and in their best
interests. In reaching this determination for each partnership, Pioneer
USA's board of directors considered the following factors:
- The form and amount of consideration offered to the partners of the
partnership;

RECOMMENDATION OF PIONEER USA
On September 19, 2001, Pioneer USA's board of directors unanimously
determined that the merger of each partnership is advisable, fair to the
unaffiliated limited partners of the partnership, and in their best interests.
PIONEER USA'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT THE UNAFFILIATED LIMITED
PARTNERS VOTE FOR THE MERGER PROPOSALS FOR EACH PARTNERSHIP IN WHICH THEY OWN
INTERESTS.
In making this recommendation, Pioneer USA's board of directors considered
a number of factors, including (1) the reasons for the merger of each
partnership set forth above in "Special Factors -- Reasons for the Merger of
Each Partnership," such as the fairness opinion and analyses conducted by
Stanger, and (2) the matters described under "Risk Factors" beginning on page 20
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 58 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 description of all the material
assumptions and qualifications to the fairness opinion, see "Qualifications to
Fairness Opinion" on page 38 and "Assumptions" beginning on page 43.
Except for assumptions described in "Assumptions" beginning on page 43,
which Pioneer USA advised Stanger would be reasonable and appropriate in its
view, neither Pioneer USA nor any partnership imposed any conditions or
limitations on the scope of the investigation by Stanger or the methods and
procedures to be followed by Stanger in rendering the fairness opinion. In
addition, each partnership has agreed to indemnify Stanger against some
liabilities arising out of Stanger's engagement to prepare and deliver its
opinion. Upon consummation of the merger of the partnership, those
indemnification obligations will become obligations of Pioneer USA.
Experience of Stanger. Since its founding in 1978, Stanger has provided
information, research, investment banking and consulting services to clients
located throughout the United Sates, including major New York Stock Exchange
member firms and insurance companies and over 70 companies engaged in the
management and operation of partnerships. The investment banking activities of
Stanger include financial advisory and fairness opinion services, asset and
securities valuations, industry and company research and analysis, litigation
support and expert witness services, and due diligence investigations in
connection with both publicly registered and privately placed securities
transactions.

50
Stanger was selected because of its experience in the valuation of
businesses and their securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions,
reorganizations and for estate, tax, corporate and other purposes, including the
valuation of partnerships, partnership securities and the assets typically held
through partnerships including oil and gas assets. Pioneer USA has previously
engaged Stanger to provide financial advisory services in connection with
proposed transactions between one or more of the partnerships and Pioneer Parent
which were never consummated.
Qualifications to Fairness Opinion. In the fairness opinion, Stanger
specifically states that it was not requested to, and did not:
- make any recommendations to Pioneer USA, any partnership or the limited
partners of any partnership with respect to whether to approve or reject
the merger of any partnership;
- determine or negotiate the amount or form of the merger value for any
partnership to be paid for limited partners' interests in the merger of
the partnership;
- offer the assets of any partnership for sale to any third party;
- express any opinion as to:
- the impact on Pioneer USA or the limited partners of any partnership
that does not participate in the proposed merger transaction;
- the tax consequences of the merger of any partnership for Pioneer USA,
the nonmanaging general partner, if any, of the partnership or the
limited partners of the partnership;
- Pioneer USA's or Pioneer Parent's ability to finance their obligations
under the merger agreement or the impact of a failure to obtain
financing on the financial performance of Pioneer USA, Pioneer Parent
or any partnership;
- Pioneer USA's decision to estimate the reserve value of the oil and gas
reserves of each partnership based upon the continued operation of the
properties by Pioneer USA and the payment of overhead charges in
accordance with existing operating agreements or the impact, if any, on
the estimated value of each partnership's oil and gas reserves if
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA determined to offer or operate the
assets subject to revised operating agreements;
- whether or not alternative methods of determining the merger value for
each partnership would have also provided fair results or results
substantially similar to the methodology used;
- alternatives to the merger of each partnership, including the offering
of such assets for sale to third party buyers;
- the trading price of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock immediately
following the closing of the merger of each partnership and the
distribution of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock in connection
with the merger of each partnership;
- the fairness of the termination of the repurchase obligations of
Pioneer USA with respect to some partnerships, which repurchase
obligations require Pioneer USA to offer to repurchase limited
partnership interests annually based upon a formula which in some
circumstances, including the repurchase offers based upon December 31,
2000 oil and gas prices, result in repurchase offer prices above the
market value for the reserves of any such partnership; or
- any other terms of the merger of any partnership.
Summary of Material Considered and Investigation Undertaken. Stanger's
analysis of the merger of each partnership involved a review of the following
information:
- a draft of this preliminary document;
- a draft of the merger agreement which Pioneer USA has indicated is
substantially the form which will be executed in connection with the
merger of each partnership;
- financial statements of each partnership, including, if applicable, the
partnership's Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, for the six months ended June 30,
2001 and for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998;
- the reserve reports prepared by Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA and the
review by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., as of March 31, 2001,
relating to the reserves of each partnership;
38
51
- the reserve reports prepared by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc.,
as of December 31, 2000, relating to the reserves of each partnership;
- calculations prepared by Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA of the merger
value per $1,000 of limited partner investment in each partnership;
- Pioneer USA's analysis of other alternatives to the merger of each
partnership, including going concern value, liquidation value, royalty
trust and production payment;
- estimates prepared by Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA of the going concern
value and liquidation value per $1,000 of limited partner investment in
each partnership;
- the financial statements of Pioneer Parent included in its Form 10-Q for
the six months ended June 30, 2001 and its Form 10-K for the years ended
December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998;
- pro forma financial data for Pioneer Parent assuming the completion of
the proposed merger transaction; and
- recent trading activity in shares of Pioneer Parent common stock.
In the course of its analysis, Stanger conducted interviews of senior
management personnel of Pioneer USA. During such interviews, Stanger and the
senior management personnel reviewed the status of the merger of each
partnership, the reserve pricing and related value estimates, the estimated
timing of the merger of each partnership and other matters.
Stanger reviewed estimates of the merger value, going-concern value, and
liquidation value prepared by Pioneer USA with respect to each partnership. In
addition, Stanger reviewed secondary market prices, as tracked by Stanger, for
limited partnership interests in each partnership along with tender offers
received by limited partners as derived from data provided by Pioneer USA.
Stanger's analysis is summarized below.
Review of Merger Value for Each Partnership. Stanger reviewed the
calculation of the merger value for each partnership prepared by Pioneer USA.
Stanger observed that such calculation includes the reserve value, as described
below, and other current assets as of March 31, 2001, as reduced by other
current liabilities as of March 31, 2001, less the partnership's pro rata share,
based on its reserve value, of the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of
all of the partnerships and less the cash distribution mailed on July 13, 2001,
by the partnership to its partners. Stanger reviewed the balance sheet of each
partnership as of March 31, 2001 as prepared by Pioneer USA, and reconciled the
current assets and current liabilities on such financial statements to the
balances included in the merger value calculation for each partnership.
Stanger reviewed the summary reserve reports for each partnership prepared
by Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA as reviewed by Williamson Petroleum
Consultants, Inc. as of March 31, 2001. Stanger noted that the summary reserve
report was prepared based upon the following pricing case: (1) a five-year NYMEX
futures price for oil and gas as of March 30, 2001, with prices held constant
after year five at the year five price and (2) historical operating costs
adjusted only for those items affected by commodity prices, such as production
taxes and ad valorem taxes. For 2001, the oil and gas prices were based on the
average NYMEX futures price for the nine-month period beginning on April 1, 2001
and ending December 31, 2001. The standard industry adjustments reflect oil
quality, BTU content, oil and gas gathering and transportation costs, and gas
processing costs and shrinkage.
Stanger further observed that the summary reserve report utilized a
discount rate of 10.0% and resulted in a per barrel of oil equivalent, or BOE,
value of the reserves for each of the partnerships ranging from $3.52 to $4.60.
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
39
52
of 15% to 20%, applied generally to a high range pricing case. Stanger concluded
that the pricing case and discount rates utilized to establish the merger value
for each partnership fall within the ranges established in interviews with
acquisition professionals.
Going Concern Value. Stanger reviewed the going concern value calculation
prepared for each partnership by Pioneer USA. The going concern value was based
upon:
- The sum of (1) the estimated net cash flow from sale of the reserves
during a 10-year operating period and (2) the estimated residual value
from the sale of the remaining reserves at the end of the operating
period, in each case using the same pricing and discount rate as in the
merger value calculation; less
- The cash distributions on July 13, 2001 by the partnership to its
partners; and
- Partnership level general and administrative expenses, calculated as
follows and, consistent with the calculation of 2000 and 1999 expenses,
generally representing the maximum expense percentages permitted under
the partnership agreements:
- The partnership agreement for each of Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd.,
Parker & Parsley 81-II, Ltd., Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd., Parker &
Parsley 82-II, Ltd. and Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd. permits Pioneer
USA to allocate to the partnership (1) general and administrative
expenses and (2) all expenses directly attributable to the partnership
as a result of fees or charges by parties other than Pioneer USA or its
affiliates, including legal, auditing and engineering fees. However,
for purposes of clause (1) and for administrative ease and to the
benefit of each of those partnerships, Pioneer USA allocates to each of
those partnerships general and administrative expenses based on 3% of
the revenues of the partnership.
- The partnership agreement for each of Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd. and
Parker & Parsley 83-B, Ltd. permits Pioneer USA to allocate to the
partnership (1) general and administrative expenses in an annual amount
not to exceed the sum of 2% of the initial partner capital for the
partnership and 2.25% of the drilling and completion expenses, of which
there are none, and (2) all expenses directly attributable to the
partnership as a result of fees or charges by parties other than
Pioneer USA or its affiliates, including legal, auditing and
engineering fees. However, for purposes of clause (1) and for
administrative ease and to 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.

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.

Stanger observed that the going concern value of each partnership was
adjusted for the March 31, 2001 working capital balance less the distribution
mailed on July 13, 2001 and that such going concern value ranged from 4.7% to
9.8% less than the merger value for each partnership. See the supplemental
information table on the second page of the supplement for each partnership for
its merger value and its going concern value, in each case per $1,000 limited
partner investment.
Liquidation Value. Stanger reviewed the liquidation value calculation
prepared for each partnership by Pioneer USA. Such liquidation value was based
upon the sale of the reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation
expenses which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro rata
share of the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the
partnerships and (B) 3% of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash
distributions on July 13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The
liquidation expenses represent the estimated costs to retain an investment
banker or broker to sell the assets of each partnership and the legal and other
closing costs associated with such transaction. Stanger observed that such
merger expenses are intended to reflect Pioneer USA's estimate of the cost
associated with brokers' commissions on asset sales and the additional wind-down
costs of the partnership. Stanger observed that the liquidation value for each
partnership ranged from 2.7% to 3.0% less than the merger value for each
41
54
partnership. See the supplemental information table on the second page of the
supplement for each partnership for its merger value and its liquidation value,
in each case per $1,000 limited partner investment.
Secondary Market Prices. To determine the most up-to-date secondary market
prices, Stanger reviewed the secondary market prices for units of limited
partnership interests in each of the partnerships during the 12 months ended
June 30, 2001, collected from data maintained on partnerships by Stanger.
Stanger observed that secondary market transactions were reported for 24 of the
partnerships during such period. Stanger observed that for all partnerships
except Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-A, Ltd., the weighted average
secondary market price on a per $1,000 original investment basis was less than
the merger value per $1,000 original investment. For such other partnerships,
the range of discount to the merger value per $1,000 investment was 7.7% to
55.5%, averaging 28.6%. For Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-A, Ltd.,
Stanger observed that only one transaction involving $10,000 of original
investment (20 units) was at a price in excess of the merger value per $1,000 of
original investment. All other secondary market transactions for Parker &
Parsley Producing Properties 87-A, Ltd. were reported at prices below the merger
value. Stanger also observed secondary market transactions at prices in excess
of the merger value for two additional partnerships. Secondary market firms
reported a single transaction during the twelve months ended June 30, 2001 for
Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd. and Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd. at a price in
excess of merger value. All other transactions reported for such partnerships
were at amounts less than the merger value during the twelve months ended June
30, 2001.
Stanger also reviewed secondary market data obtained by Pioneer USA from
Partnership Spectrum. Stanger observed that such data included partnerships
which reported a secondary market transaction price in excess of the high-end
transaction price Stanger observed in its data. In all cases, except Parker &
Parsley 82-II, Ltd., Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd. and Parker & Parsley Producing
Properties 87-A, Ltd., such high-end range was lower than the merger value.
Prices in the secondary market are based on market prices at the time of
the secondary market transaction, which prices may be lower than prices
prevailing at June 30, 2001, or as of the date of mailing this document.
Selected Tender Offers. Stanger observed that Pioneer USA reported
unsolicited tender offers from unaffiliated third parties for less than 5% of
the interests in the following partnerships during the period June 1998 through
July 2001. Stanger observed that the tender offers and related merger value per
limited partnership interest for each of those partnerships were as follows:
MERGER VALUE TENDER OFFER DISCOUNT TO MERGER
PARTNERSHIP (PER $1,000 INVESTMENT) (PER $1,000 INVESTMENT) VALUE
----------- ----------------------- ----------------------- ------------------
Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd................... $103.27 $13.75 (86.7%)

---------------
(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 41.4% to 87.9%. Stanger also
observed that tender offers for limited partnership securities are generally at
prices which represent a substantial discount to the underlying value of the
assets held by such partnerships. Furthermore, the tender
42
55
offer prices are based on oil prices prevailing at the time of the tender offer,
which prices may have been lower than oil prices prevailing at March 30, 2001 or
as of the date of mailing this document.
Repurchase Offers. Stanger observed that for each of the six partnerships
listed below, which Stanger calls the repurchase partnerships, Pioneer USA is
required under the partnership agreement for the partnership to offer to
repurchase units of limited partnership interests in the partnership annually at
a formula price based upon the December 31 year end reserve report. Stanger
observed that the repurchase offer pricing at December 31, 2000 tends to
overstate the value of units of the repurchase partnerships due primarily to the
oil and gas prices in effect on such date and the effect of such pricing on the
cash flows and recoverable reserves. Stanger observed that the repurchase offers
for 2000 for the repurchase partnerships are at premiums to the merger value
ranging from 24.6% to 65.6% as follows:
PER $1,000 ORIGINAL INVESTMENT
-----------------------------------------
MERGER VALUE REPURCHASE OFFER PREMIUM
------------ ---------------- -------
Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd.................................. $ 83.32 $137.97 65.6%
Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd................................. 103.27 133.72 29.5%
Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd................................ 121.71 151.60 24.6%
Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd.................................. 142.17 196.67 38.3%
Parker & Parsley 83-B, Ltd.................................. 159.87 210.15 31.5%
Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd.................................. 199.06 267.03 34.1%
Stanger observed that the repurchase rights may be exercised only once a
year and that a limited partner may exercise its repurchase right by delivering
a written request to Pioneer USA no later than March 31 of each year. Pioneer
USA advised Stanger that on or before May 31 of each year, Pioneer USA must
notify each limited partner who has exercised its repurchase right of the amount
of limited partnership interests to be repurchased and the method of calculating
the repurchase price. Pioneer USA advised Stanger that the aggregate amount of
limited partnership interests required to be repurchased in any one year is
limited to $100,000 per partnership. A repurchase price is calculated by
multiplying:
- the present value of the estimated future net revenues, calculated using
a discount rate equal to prime plus 1% as of December 31 of each year,
from a partnership's estimated reserves, as determined by independent
petroleum consultants; by
- 66 2/3%.
Stanger advised that each limited partner who has exercised its repurchase
right has 60 days to accept Pioneer USA's repurchase offer and that Pioneer USA
must pay the repurchase price to each limited partner who accepts the repurchase
offer within 30 days after acceptance.
Stanger further advised Pioneer USA and each repurchase partnership that no
adjustment was made to the merger value offered to the repurchase partnership to
reflect the repurchase offer obligation and Stanger's opinion does not include
an opinion as to the fairness of the termination of Pioneer USA's repurchase
obligation.
Assumptions. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA advised Stanger that the oil
and gas properties owned by each partnership are subject to operating agreements
with Pioneer USA and that:
- such operating agreements provide for the payment of overhead charges and
that such charges are reasonable compared with amounts charged for
similar services by third party operators;
- except for cause, such operating agreements do not provide for the
termination of Pioneer USA as operator; and
- such operating agreements do not provide for the revision of the overhead
charges, except as escalated under the terms of such operating
agreements.
Furthermore, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA advised Stanger that if each
partnership's reserves were offered for sale to a third party, a condition of
such sale would be that the oil and gas reserves would continue to be subject to
the operating agreements with Pioneer USA which provide for the payment of
overhead charges, and that it would be appropriate to assume, when estimating
the value of such reserves, that such charges would continue.
In addition, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA advised Stanger that the
reserve value and working capital balance of each partnership has been properly
allocated between the general partners and the limited partners of each
partnership in accordance with the partnership agreement with respect to a
liquidation.

Stanger did not conduct any engineering studies and has relied on estimates
of Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA with respect to oil and gas reserve volumes,
prices, operating costs and overhead charges with respect to the reserve value
estimates. Furthermore, Stanger has relied upon the review by Williamson of the
summary reserve reports as of March 31, 2001.
Stanger also relied on the assurance of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and
each partnership that:
- the summary reserve report reviewed by Williamson Petroleum Consultants,
Inc. as of March 31, 2001, and provided to Stanger was in the judgment of
Pioneer USA and each partnership reasonably prepared on bases consistent
with actual historical experience and reflect their best currently
available estimates and good faith judgments;
- there are no estimates of costs to remediate environmental conditions
included in the reserve analysis;
- any historical financial data, balance sheet data, merger value analyses,
going concern value analyses and liquidation value analyses are accurate
and complete in all material respects;
- all allocations included in the calculations of merger values, going
concern values and liquidation values have been made in accordance with
the partnership agreement of each partnership;
- no material changes have occurred in the information reviewed or in the
value of the oil and gas reserves or working capital balances as of March
31, 2001, of each partnership between the date the information was
provided to Stanger and the date of Stanger's opinion;
- the relative ownership interests of (1) the limited partners of each
partnership, (2) the unaffiliated limited partners of each partnership,
(3) the general partners of each partnership, (4) the unaffiliated
limited partners of the nonmanaging general partner, if any, of each
partnership and (5) Pioneer USA, as the managing or sole general partner
of each partnership, is accurately included in accordance with the
partnership agreement for each partnership in the analyses provided to
Stanger by Pioneer USA;
- neither Pioneer Parent or any of its affiliates has during the 30 days
prior to the date hereof commenced or continued a share repurchase
program or similar transaction which could affect the price of shares of
Pioneer Parent common stock to be used in the proposed merger
transaction; and
- Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and each partnership are not aware of any
information or facts regarding the partnership, the oil and gas
properties, the reserve analysis or the working capital balances of the
partnership that would cause the information supplied to Stanger to be
incomplete or misleading in any material respect.
Stanger's opinion is based upon business, economic, oil and gas market and
other conditions as of the date of its analysis and addresses the merger value
for each partnership in the context of information available as of the date of
Stanger's analysis. Events occurring after the date of Stanger's analysis could
affect the value of the assets of each partnership or the assumptions used in
the preparation of Stanger's fairness opinion.
Conclusions. Stanger concluded that, based upon and subject to its
analysis, assumptions, limitations and qualifications cited in its opinion, and
as of the date of the fairness opinion, the merger value for each partnership
and the allocation of the merger value of the partnership (1) to the limited
partners of the partnership as a group, (2) to the general partners of the
partnership as a group, (3) to Pioneer USA as the managing or sole general
partner of the partnership, (4) to the unaffiliated limited partners of the
partnership as a group and (5) to the unaffiliated limited partners of the
nonmanaging general partner, if any, of the partnership as a group, is fair to
the unaffiliated limited partners of the partnership and the unaffiliated
limited partners of the nonmanaging general partner, if any, of the partnership,
from a financial point of view. Stanger's fairness opinion is dated August 20,
2001.
Compensation and Material Relationships. Stanger has been paid a total fee
of $350,000 in connection with the rendering of the fairness opinion. Such fee
was not conditioned on Stanger's findings and is payable whether or not the
merger of each partnership is consummated. In addition, Stanger will be
reimbursed for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees, and
will be indemnified against some liabilities, including some liabilities under
the securities laws. To the extent that such indemnification includes
liabilities arising under the federal securities laws, it may not be enforceable
as it may be determined to be against public policy.
During the past two years, Pioneer USA engaged Stanger to render financial
advisory services in connection with proposed transactions which were withdrawn
and never consummated. In connection with such assignments Stanger was paid fees
aggregating $175,000.

SUMMARY RESERVE REPORT
Pioneer USA engaged Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., which we call
Williamson, an independent petroleum engineering consulting firm based in
Midland, Texas, to review a summary reserve report of the property interests of
each of the partnerships as of March 31, 2001. THE FULL TEXT OF THE REVIEW OF
THE SUMMARY RESERVE REPORT BY WILLIAMSON PETROLEUM CONSULTANTS, INC. EFFECTIVE
AS OF MARCH 31, 2001, IS ATTACHED AS APPENDIX B. WE URGE YOU TO READ IT
CAREFULLY IN ITS ENTIRETY.
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.
In preparing its summary reserve report, Williamson assumed the accuracy
and completeness of all information provided by Pioneer USA or information which
was publicly available and did not attempt to independently verify such
information. Williamson did not make field inspections or judgments relative to
environmental or other legal liabilities. Except as described in this document,
Pioneer USA did not instruct Williamson as to the pricing, cost or other
economic parameters or methods or the assessment of reserves characteristics,
nor did it limit the scope of Williamson's investigation for purposes of
preparing its summary reserve report.
Pioneer USA provided Williamson with all evaluation data with respect to
interests, reversionary status, oil and gas prices, gas categories, gas contract
terms, operating expenses, investments, salvage values, abandonment costs, net
profit interests, well information and current operating conditions for
Williamson's use in determining each partnership's reserves. Williamson used
production data provided by Pioneer USA, and where information was not provided
by Pioneer USA, Williamson used production data from public records. Williamson
prepared its own reserve estimates of the property interests.
Williamson's review included testing and evaluating the reserve information
for all of the properties of each partnership. The review is more comprehensive
than an audit, which involves testing and evaluating the reserve information of
a representative subgroup of properties of each partnership.
Prior Material Relationships. Williamson has estimated total proved
reserves and the present value of estimated future revenues from those reserves
for each of the partnerships since their respective 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 34 of
this document.
We also believe there is a substantial advantage in receiving the
liquidating distribution at present in the form of Pioneer Parent common stock,
rather than continuing to receive decreasing levels of cash distributions over a
long period of time. We believe that the merger value for each partnership is
higher than the net present value of estimated future cash distributions to the
limited partners from continued operations because the merger value has not been
reduced for the reimbursement of Pioneer USA's general and administrative
expenses allocable to the partnership. In addition, although future oil and gas
prices could be higher than the prices on March 30, 2001 which were used in
calculating the merger value for each partnership, continued operations over a
long period of time subject the limited partners of each partnership to the risk
of receiving lower levels of cash distributions if oil and gas prices over this
period are lower on average than those used in preparing the estimates of cash
distributions from continued operations. Continued operations also subject the
limited partners of each partnership to possible changes in costs or need for
workover or similar significant remedial work on each partnership's properties.
In contrast, the Pioneer Parent common stock is a liquid tradeable security
which can be sold and redeployed in other investments. The Pioneer Parent common
stock provides the limited partners of each partnership the opportunity to
participate in a larger entity having more diversified producing reserves and
other oil and gas properties, with the resulting spreading of risks.
We expect that any nonparticipating partnership will continue operations
and will produce its reserves until depletion with steadily decreasing rates of
cash flow and, as a result, decreasing cash distributions.
Comparison of the Merger of Each Partnership to Master Limited
Partnership. We considered accomplishing the consolidation of each partnership
through a master limited partnership, pursuant to which the partnership
interests of the limited partners of the partnership would be exchanged for
interests in the master limited partnership. However, we believe each
partnership's oil and gas properties are not of sufficient size, individually or
in the aggregate with the other partnerships, to attract new capital through a
master limited partnership. In addition, the partnership interests in a master
limited partnership might not be traded on a national stock exchange or in any
other significant market. Some master limited partnership interests might be
sold from time to time in private or over-the-counter transactions, but the
prices would likely reflect a discount for illiquidity. As a result, we believe
a master limited partnership would not provide the limited partners with
immediate and complete liquidity for their investment in each partnership.
Finally, a master limited partnership would still be burdened with general and
administrative expenses, which would reduce any cash distributions paid to the
partners of the master limited partnership. The merger value for each
partnership reflects a liquidation value and has not been reduced for any
reimbursement of Pioneer USA's general and administrative expenses allocable to
the partnership.
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,
46
59
to attract new capital from lenders or investors. In addition, lenders or
investors that provide production payment alternatives will not advance funds
against 100% of future oil and gas production, and typically limit any
production payment transaction to less than 70% of estimated future oil and gas
production. As a result, this alternative was not selected because we believe it
would not provide the limited partners with immediate and complete liquidity for
their investment in each partnership. Even with a production payment
transaction, each partnership would continue to be burdened with general and
administrative expenses which would reduce any cash distributions paid to the
limited partners. The merger value for each partnership reflects a liquidation
value and has not been reduced for any reimbursement of Pioneer USA's general
and administrative expenses allocable to the partnership.
Comparison of the Merger of Each Partnership to Negotiated Sale. We also
considered whether each partnership would benefit from attempting to sell its
property interests in negotiated transactions. Buyers would be purchasing the
partnership's property interests which they would neither control nor operate. A
portion of the properties in which each partnership owns interests would
continue to be operated by Pioneer USA because Pioneer USA controls other
interests in fields in which the partnership's properties are located. Because
of Pioneer USA's control of such properties, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA
believe Pioneer Parent is the party in the position to pay the highest price for
such interests and the one most likely to do so. In contrast, Pioneer USA's
control of such properties could negatively affect the amount a third party is
willing to pay and the overall interest of third parties in buying such
properties.
In addition, sale of each partnership's properties on a direct basis often
involves substantial periods of time for due diligence, negotiation and
execution of agreements and closings, often with different purchasers for
different properties. Satisfying due diligence requests requires large amounts
of time to create and supervise data rooms or disseminate data to possible
purchasers, plus the time needed to deal directly with multiple prospective
purchasers. Furthermore, some issues, such as environmental and title matters,
may come to light in the late stages of a negotiated sale, which may delay or
preclude the consummation of the sale.
The transaction costs for offering properties in a negotiated sale could be
substantial, and often are higher than other means of sale. Those costs include:
- preparing and disseminating information on properties to be offered;
- soliciting attendance by prospective purchasers; and
- screening and qualifying purchasers.
In a third party sale, we expect that each partnership would have to pay
its own expenses or that the price would be reduced to take the expenses into
account.
Based on the factors described above, we decided to issue an invitation for
third party bids rather than conduct a full auction. That is, in September 1999
we established a price and publicly announced that we will consider third party
offers to purchase any partnership or its assets at prices that are higher than
the 1999 merger value for such partnership. We have repeated our willingness to
consider third party offers in connection with the merger of each partnership we
now propose, so long as the prices offered exceed those we are offering. We
believe this process would result in a better price to the limited partners than
if we merely offered the partnership or its assets for sale at any price.
Pioneer Parent has the right to match or top any third party offer. In addition,
any such offer would be subject to our right to continue operation of the
properties. See "The Merger of Each Partnership -- Third Party Offers" on page
58. Although we received some preliminary indications of interest from third
parties during the last quarter of 1999 and from a third party in July 2001,
none of those third parties has ever made a formal bid for any partnership or
its assets. In May and June of 2001, we were contacted by several parties
interested in purchasing partnership interests from the limited partners of
certain partnerships. See "Special Factors -- Background of the Merger of Each
Partnership" on page 27. Other than announcing that we will consider third party
offers for any partnership or its assets, we have not actively solicited bids
from third parties.

METHOD OF DETERMINING MERGER VALUE FOR EACH PARTNERSHIP
AND AMOUNT OF PIONEER PARENT COMMON STOCK OFFERED
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA have agreed to a merger value for each
partnership for purposes of the merger of the partnership. The method of
determining the merger value for each partnership was not determined by
arm's-length negotiations. See "Risk Factors -- You Were Not Independently
Represented in Establishing the Terms of the Merger of Each Partnership" on page
21 and "Interests of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and Their Directors and
Officers" on page 70. The calculations made by Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA in
determining the merger values were based primarily on data maintained by Pioneer
USA in conjunction with its responsibilities as operator of the properties and
keeper of the books and records of the partnerships.
In March 2001, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA agreed to use March 31, 2001
to determine the merger value for each partnership and to base the number of
shares of Pioneer Parent common stock to be offered on the average closing price
of the Pioneer Parent common stock, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange,
for the ten trading days ending three business days before the initial date of
the special meeting for each partnership. On July 27, 2001, it was agreed that
each participating partnership would bear its pro rata portion of the merger
expenses and that Pioneer Parent would bear the merger expenses of the
nonparticipating partnerships and the merger expenses in excess of $2,000,000.
The method of determining the merger value was finalized on August 17, 2001,
when Pioneer USA received the summary letter of Williamson Petroleum
Consultants, Inc. reviewing estimates of each partnership's reserves. For
purposes of illustration in this document, we have calculated the number of
shares to be issued based on an assumed average closing price of $18.00 per
share of Pioneer Parent common stock. Prior to the date of the special meeting
for each partnership, we will update the number of shares to be issued using the
actual average closing price of Pioneer Parent common stock for the ten trading
days ending three business days before the initial date scheduled for the
special meeting. Neither Pioneer Parent nor Pioneer USA will adjust any of the
other components of the merger value for any partnership.
COMPONENTS OF MERGER VALUE FOR EACH PARTNERSHIP
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA calculated the merger value assigned to each
partnership as follows:
- Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA agreed to use the volumes of the
partnership's estimated reserves as of March 31, 2001, as taken from the
summary reserve report reviewed by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc.
as of March 31, 2001.
- Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA agreed to use the present value of
estimated future net revenues for each partnership from the estimated
reserves for each partnership at March 31, 2001, as reviewed by
Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. in its summary reserve report
dated August 17, 2001. In its review, Williamson Petroleum Consultants,
Inc. evaluated the methods and procedures used by Pioneer USA in the
preparation of Pioneer USA's estimates of reserves and associated future
net revenue and rendered its opinion that the estimates are reasonable in
the aggregate and prepared in accordance with generally accepted
petroleum engineering and evaluation principles. See Appendix B to this
document. The reserve value component of the merger value for each
partnership is also set forth in Table 16 of Appendix A to this document.
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA instructed Williamson to use the following
parameters in calculating the present value of estimated future net
revenues: (1) a five-year NYMEX futures price for oil and gas as of March
30, 2001, with prices held constant after year five at the year five
price, less standard industry adjustments, (2) historical operating costs
adjusted only for those items affected by commodity prices, such as
production taxes and ad valorem taxes, and (3) a discount rate of 10.0%.
For 2001, the oil and gas prices were based on the average NYMEX futures
price for the nine-month period beginning on April 1, 2001 and ending
December 31, 2001. See the table on page 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.
49
62
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 10.0% discount rate is necessary
based upon the risks involved in the oil and gas industry and Pioneer
Parent's requirement to achieve a minimum rate of return on its
investment.
- Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA added the present value of the
partnership's estimated future net revenues as of March 31, 2001 to the
partnership's net working capital as of March 31, 2001 and then reduced
that sum by (i) the partnership's pro rata share, based on its reserve
value, of the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the
partnerships and (2) the cash distribution mailed on July 13, 2001, by
the partnership to its partners. Since the merger value for each
partnership includes net working capital, the merger value assigned to
the partnership includes the partnership's assets and liabilities other
than its oil and gas reserves. Each partnership's other assets and
liabilities consist mainly of cash, accounts receivable from the sale of
oil and gas production and accounts payable.
- The number of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock to be issued to the
limited partners of each partnership upon the merger of the partnership
will be determined by dividing the merger value assigned to the
partnership by the value of one share of Pioneer Parent common stock
determined as described below. For purposes of example in this document,
a share of Pioneer Parent common stock has been valued at an assumed
average closing price of $18.00. However, on the closing date of the
merger of each partnership, the value of a share of Pioneer Parent common
stock will be recalculated by computing the average closing price of the
Pioneer Parent common stock, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange,
for the ten trading days ending three business days before the initial
date of the special meeting for each partnership. This recalculated
value, and not the assumed average closing price of $18.00 per share of
Pioneer Parent common stock, used for illustration purposes in this
document and on each limited partner's proxy card, will be used to
determine the actual number of shares of Pioneer Parent common stock to
be issued in the merger of each partnership. The recalculated value may
be more or less than the assumed average closing price of $18.00 per
share of Pioneer Parent common stock. Pioneer Parent may abandon the
proposed merger of any or all of the partnerships at any time prior to
the special meeting for any such partnership for any reason including
changes in, among other things, the price of Pioneer Parent common stock,
the market prices for oil and gas generally or the oil and gas industry
generally.
Distributions. No cash distributions will be made by any partnership to
its partners after the distribution made on July 13, 2001, through the closing
date or termination date of the merger of the partnership. The Pioneer Parent
common stock to be distributed as payment of the merger value of each
participating partnership already reflects the expected amount of those
distributions. However, any cash distributions by a nonparticipating partnership
which would have been paid during that time period in the ordinary course of
that partnership's business will be distributed to its partners at about the
same time that the certificates representing Pioneer Parent common stock are
mailed to the partners of each participating partnership.
Liabilities. Pioneer USA will assume all of the liabilities, including
contingent liabilities and obligations, of each participating partnership as of
the closing date of the merger of the partnership. As of the date of this
document, Pioneer USA is not aware of any material contingent liabilities to
which any partnership is subject.
Expenses. The expenses and fees to be incurred in connection with the
merger of each partnership are expected to be approximately $2.0 million in
total. Each participating partnership will pay its pro rata share, based on its
reserve value, of those estimated expenses and fees. Pioneer Parent will pay the
pro rata share of each nonparticipating partnership's estimated expenses and
fees. Pioneer Parent has also agreed to pay any expenses and fees actually
incurred in excess of $2.0 million and, if Pioneer Parent terminates or abandons
the merger as to any partnership, any expenses or fees allocated to that
partnership. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA have reduced each partnership's
merger value by that partnership's pro rata share of the estimated expenses and
fees.
ALLOCATION OF MERGER VALUE FOR EACH PARTNERSHIP AMONG PARTNERS OF THE
PARTNERSHIP
In determining the portion of the merger value attributable to each $1,000
of initial limited partner investment in a partnership, Pioneer Parent
determined the amount payable per $1,000 investment as if the assets of the
partnership had been sold on March 31, 2001 for cash equal to the merger value
of the partnership and the proceeds distributed in accordance with the
liquidation provisions of the partnership's partnership agreement. The limited
partners of each participating partnership would receive the same amounts if the
merger value of the partnership was allocated among the
50
63
partners based on the revenue-sharing provisions of the partnership agreement
except for each of the following partnerships which will receive more proceeds
under the liquidation provisions of its respective partnership agreement than
under its revenue-sharing provisions due to certain prospect-by-prospect payout
provisions not being met:
Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 81-II, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd.
OTHER METHODS OF DETERMINING MERGER VALUES
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA believe that the method used to determine
the merger value for each partnership is a fair and reasonable method of valuing
the partnership's properties. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA considered a number
of alternative methods of determining the merger value for each partnership
before selecting a method. However, the selected method might not accurately
reflect the value of each partnership's assets. See "Risk Factors -- Risk
Factors Relating to the Merger of Each Partnership -- The Merger Value for a
Partnership Will Not be Adjusted For Changes in Oil and Gas Prices Before the
Completion of Its Merger" on page 20. 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 were based on December 31, 2000 oil and gas prices. The
merger value for each partnership with repurchase offer obligations is lower
than the 2001 repurchase offer price for the partnership because the repurchase
price was based on NYMEX oil and gas prices as of December 31, 2000, which were
$26.69 per Bbl of oil and $9.95 per Mcf of gas. Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA
believe that the repurchase obligation is not an indicator of fair value because
it is calculated annually on December 31 using oil and gas prices for that
specific day. The value determined under the repurchase obligation does not
adequately reflect future demand and supply fundamentals which have historically
resulted in significant volatility to oil and gas prices. See "Risk
Factors -- Risk Factors Relating to the Merger of Each Partnership -- Repurchase
Offers in 2001 By Each of the Six Partnerships with a Repurchase Obligation were
Higher than the Merger Value for the Partnership" on page 22 of this document
and Table 8 of Appendix A to this document for information on each partnership
with repurchase offer obligations.

64
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 prices were to continue to prevail in the future, the
merger value for each partnership would appear low by comparison. In contrast,
however, if those prices decline in the future, the merger value for each
partnership would appear high by comparison.

THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP
GENERAL
Immediately before the effective time of the merger of each participating
partnership, the partnership agreement for the partnership will be amended by
the merger amendment to permit the merger of the partnership with and into us.
At the effective time of the merger of each participating partnership, the
partnership will be merged with and into us. We will be the surviving entity. In
addition, at the effective time of the merger of each participating partnership,
each of your partnership interests in the partnership will be converted into the
right to receive Pioneer Parent common stock.
LEGAL OPINION FOR LIMITED PARTNERS
Each of the partnership agreements, except the partnership agreement for
Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 88-A, L.P., requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners of each partnership
to Pioneer USA that neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve
the merger of the partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the
federal income tax classification of the partnership or any of its limited
partners. In addition, the partnership agreement for each of the following
partnerships requires an opinion that neither the grant nor exercise of such
right will result in the loss of any limited partner's limited liability:
Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 81-II, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 82-II, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 83-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 83-B, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 85-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 85-B, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley Private Investment 85-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley Selected 85 Private Investment, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 86-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 86-B, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 86-C, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley Private Investment 86, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 87-A Conv., Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 87-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 87-B, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley Producing Properties 87-B, Ltd.
For each of the partnerships, other than those listed below, the counsel
designated to render the opinion described above must be counsel other than
counsel to Pioneer USA or any partnership:
Parker & Parsley 88-A Conv., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 88-A, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 88-B Conv., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 88-B, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 88-C Conv., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 88-C, L.P.
Parker & Parsley Private Investment 88, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 89-A Conv., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 89-A, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 89-B Conv., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 89-B, L.P.
Parker & Parsley Private Investment 89, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 90-A Conv., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 90-A, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 90-B Conv., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 90-B, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 90-C Conv., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 90-C, L.P.
Parker & Parsley Private Investment 90, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 90 Spraberry Private Dev., L.P.
Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P.
In all cases, the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners of each partnership.
Neither Pioneer Parent nor Pioneer USA believe that approval of the legal
opinions of the special legal counsel to the limited partners will have any
effect on any rights the limited partners may have to bring suit against Pioneer
Parent or Pioneer USA (other than any claim of breach of these provisions of the
partnership agreements), nor do Pioneer Parent or Pioneer USA expect that
approval of the legal opinions would alter any right the limited partners may
have to bring suit against the special legal counsel to the limited partners.
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA believe that these provisions of the partnership
agreement were written at a time when the effect of limited partner votes were
not well established under tax and limited partnership laws. More recent
partnership agreements generally do not have these kinds of requirements because
revised uniform limited partnership laws and amendments to tax laws and
regulations have eliminated these issues for most typical partnership voting
situations.
53
66
In all cases, Pioneer USA has retained Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP,
of Wilmington, Delaware, and Arter & Hadden LLP of Dallas, Texas (as to matters
of Texas law) for the limited purpose of rendering the legal opinions described
above on behalf of the limited partners of each partnership to Pioneer USA.
Neither Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP nor Arter & Hadden LLP is affiliated
with Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA or any of the partnerships. The merger
proposals for each partnership include an approval of those counsel and their
opinions. See "The Special Meetings -- Time and Place; Purpose" on page 65 of
this document. A copy of the opinions is attached as an exhibit to the merger
proposals for each partnership.
DISTRIBUTION OF PIONEER PARENT COMMON STOCK
Upon completion of the merger of each participating partnership, the
partners of the partnership will have no continuing interest in, or rights as
partners of, the partnership. The transfer books of each participating
partnership will be closed on the closing date of the merger of the partnership.
All partnership interests in each participating partnership will cease to be
outstanding, will automatically be cancelled and retired, and will cease to
exist. The certificates previously representing partnership interests in each
participating partnership held by record partners will represent only the right
to receive Pioneer Parent common stock.
We intend to mail certificates representing Pioneer Parent common stock to
the partners of record of each participating partnership promptly following the
effectiveness of the merger of the partnership in payment of the merger value
for the partnership. Partners of each participating partnership will not be
required to surrender partnership interest certificates to receive the Pioneer
Parent common stock.
FRACTIONAL SHARES
Pioneer Parent will not issue fractional shares to any limited partner upon
completion of the merger of any partnership. For each fractional share that
would otherwise be issued, Pioneer Parent will round any fractional shares of
Pioneer Parent common stock up to the nearest whole share.
MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
The legal conclusions contained in the following discussion of the material
federal income tax consequences of the conversion of partnership interests into
Pioneer Parent common stock pursuant to the merger of each participating
partnership constitute the opinion of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., counsel for
Pioneer Parent, based upon the facts and assumptions set forth in the
registration statement on Form S-4 of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a
part and upon current law. Future legislative, judicial or administrative
changes or interpretations could alter or modify the following statements and
conclusions, and any of these changes or interpretations could be retroactive
and could affect the tax consequences to the limited partners of each
partnership. Further, any inaccuracy in any of the facts or assumptions set
forth in the registration statement could adversely affect or render obsolete
the opinion.
The opinion does not contain an exhaustive discussion of all possible tax
consequences. It does not address any state, local or foreign tax consequences,
nor does it discuss all of the aspects of federal income taxation that may be
relevant to specific partners in light of their particular circumstances. The
opinion describes the material federal income tax consequences applicable to
individuals who are citizens or residents of the United States, and therefore
has limited application to domestic corporations and persons subject to
specialized federal income tax treatment, such as foreign persons, tax-exempt
entities, regulated investment companies and insurance companies. The federal
tax consequences of each merger will vary for each limited partner because of
the different circumstances of each participating partnership and the individual
federal income tax position of each limited partner.
THE STATEMENTS AND CONCLUSIONS BELOW DO NOT ADDRESS THE PARTICULAR FACTS
AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF ANY PARTICULAR LIMITED PARTNER. YOU ARE ADVISED TO CONSULT
YOUR OWN TAX ADVISOR TO DETERMINE ALL OF THE RELEVANT FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL
TAX CONSEQUENCES OF EACH MERGER PARTICULAR TO YOU.
Tax Consequences of a Conversion of Partnership Interests.
- Generally. As more fully described below, if you own partnership
interests in a participating partnership, you will generally recognize an
aggregate amount of net gain or loss equal to the difference between (1)
the fair market value of Pioneer Parent common stock you receive in the
merger of that partnership and (2) your adjusted tax basis in your
partnership interests exclusive of any basis attributable to liabilities
of the partnership immediately prior to the merger. A component of that
net gain or loss may be ordinary income or ordinary loss depending upon
the extent of any recapture of depletion or intangible drilling and
development costs and any appreciation or
54
67
depreciation in the ordinary assets of the partnership. The recognition
of ordinary income will decrease the capital gain component or increase
the capital loss component of the net gain or loss otherwise recognizable
as a consequence of the merger.
- Characterization of the Merger of Each Partnership. The merger of a
participating partnership into Pioneer USA should be treated for federal
income tax purposes as a sale by such partnership of its assets for
Pioneer Parent common stock followed by a distribution of the Pioneer
Parent common stock received in liquidation of the limited partnership
interests. Under Section 613A of the Internal Revenue Code, each of the
partners of such partnership must:
- maintain the partner's share of the basis in the partnership's oil and
gas properties at the partner level;
- adjust such basis for depletion deductions; and
- use such basis to calculate gain or loss at the partner level on any
sale by the partnership of its oil and gas properties.
Accordingly, each of the mergers should be generally treated for tax
computation purposes as:
- a taxable sale by you of your interest in a participating partnership's
oil and gas properties for Pioneer Parent common stock and the
assumption of liabilities; and
- a taxable sale of any remaining partnership assets by the participating
partnership for Pioneer Parent common stock followed by a liquidation
of the participating partnership.
- Gain or Loss on Sale of Partnership Oil and Gas Properties. Upon the
deemed sale of a partnership's oil and gas properties in the merger of
the partnership, you will recognize gain or loss equal to the difference
between:
- the portion of the partnership's "amount realized" on the sale of its
oil and gas properties allocated to you; and
- your adjusted tax basis in the partnership oil and gas properties sold,
which must be reduced to reflect depletion claimed during the current
year in respect of production prior to the date of the merger.
The amount realized will include the fair market value of Pioneer Parent
common stock received and the amount of any liability assumed by Pioneer USA in
connection with the merger of the partnership which is attributable to the
partnership's oil and gas properties. If gain is recognized on such sale, the
portion of the gain that is treated as recapture of intangible drilling and
development costs or depletion will be treated as ordinary income. See
"Recapture of Intangible Drilling and Development Costs" and "Recapture of
Depletion" below. The remainder of such gain generally will constitute "Section
1231 gain." If loss is recognized on such sale, such loss generally will
constitute "Section 1231 loss." See "Section 1231 Gains and Losses" below. You
must take into account your share of the portion of the gain that constitutes
recapture income, if any, as ordinary income and must aggregate your share of
the Section 1231 gains and losses described above with any Section 1231 gains
and losses you realize from other sources.
- Other Gain or Loss. You will also recognize your allocable share of the
partnership's gain or loss, if any, on the deemed sale of its assets
other than oil and gas properties. Such gain or loss will be equal to the
difference between the amount realized by the partnership on the sale of
such assets and the partnership's adjusted tax basis in such assets. Such
gain or loss will be capital or ordinary depending on the nature of the
assets sold.
Finally, in the event that the fair market value of Pioneer Parent common
stock you receive in the merger of the partnership is more or less than the
adjusted tax basis in your partnership interests, as adjusted to reflect gains
and losses described in the two preceding paragraphs as well as the effects of
the partnership's current year activities, then upon the deemed liquidation of a
partnership, you will recognize capital gain or loss equal to the difference
between such amounts. See "Tax Consequences of Partnership Operations" below.
Pioneer USA will provide you with information necessary to make the
calculations under Section 613A of the Internal Revenue Code described above for
purposes of filing your own federal income tax return. In order to simplify your
federal income tax reporting, this information will include a calculation of the
amount and character of your gain on the deemed sale of the partnership's oil
and gas properties based upon our estimates. You should verify the accuracy of
these calculations based upon your own records.
- Section 1231 Gains and Losses. Generally, if the total amount of the
Section 1231 gains exceeds the total amount of Section 1231 losses, all
such gains and losses will be treated as capital gains and losses, and if
the total amount of the Section 1231 losses exceeds the total amount of
the gains, all such gains and losses will be treated as ordinary income
and losses. However, your net Section 1231 gains will be treated as
ordinary income to the extent
55
68
of your net Section 1231 losses during the immediately preceding five
years, reduced by any amount of net Section 1231 losses that have been
previously "recaptured" by you pursuant to this rule.
- Recapture of Intangible Drilling and Development Costs. Generally, all
or a portion of the amounts previously deducted for intangible drilling
and development costs for a property must be recaptured upon the
disposition of such property by treating the gain, if any, realized on
such disposition as ordinary income to the extent of such amounts. For a
property placed in service prior to 1987, the potential recapture amount
is equal to the excess of the aggregate amounts previously deducted for
intangible drilling and development costs for such property over the
amount by which the deduction for depletion for such property would have
been increased had the intangible drilling and development costs been
capitalized and recovered through depletion rather than deducted in the
year incurred. It should be noted that, if percentage depletion, rather
than cost depletion, has been claimed for such property, the hypothetical
capitalization of intangible drilling and development costs may result in
little or no increase in depletion deductions and, as a consequence, most
or all of the intangible drilling and development costs for such property
may be subject to recapture. For property placed in service during 1987
or thereafter, the full amount of intangible drilling and development
costs previously deducted, unreduced by depletion, is subject to
recapture to the extent of any gain.
- Recapture of Depletion. Upon the disposition of a property that was
placed in service during 1987 or thereafter, all amounts previously
deducted for depletion, whether cost depletion or percentage depletion,
to the extent such amounts reduced the basis in the property, must be
recaptured by treating the gain, if any, recognized on such disposition
as ordinary income to the extent of such amounts. No such recapture rule
is applicable to a property placed in service before 1987.
- Tax Rates. The capital gains rate for individuals and other
non-corporate taxpayers is 20% if the capital asset has been held for
more than one year at the time of consummation of the merger of each
partnership. Corporate taxpayers are taxed at a maximum marginal rate of
35% for both capital gains and ordinary income. The maximum marginal
federal income tax rate for ordinary income of individuals and other
non-corporate taxpayers is 39.1% for the 2001 calendar year under recent
legislation. Capital losses are deductible only to the extent of capital
gains, except that, subject to the passive activity loss limitation
discussed below, non-corporate taxpayers may deduct up to $3,000 of
capital losses in excess of the amount of their capital gains against
ordinary income. Excess capital losses generally can be carried forward
to succeeding years. A corporation is permitted to carry back excess
capital losses to the three preceding years, provided the carryback does
not increase or produce a net operating loss for any of those years. A
corporation's carryforward period is five years and a non-corporate
taxpayer can carry such losses forward indefinitely.
- Passive Activity Loss Limitation. Under Section 469 of the Internal
Revenue Code, any losses from any participating partnership that have
been suspended under the passive loss rules will become fully deductible
as a result of the merger of any such partnership.
FIRPTA Withholding. Gain recognized by a foreign limited partner on the
sale by a participating partnership of its assets pursuant to the merger of the
partnership will be subject to federal income tax if such gain is effectively
connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business by the partnership or the
foreign limited partner. Gain recognized on the sale of U.S. real property,
including a participating partnership's oil and gas properties, is treated as
effectively connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business for this
purpose. Under Internal Revenue Code Section 1446, a participating partnership
in which an interest is held by a foreign person generally is required to deduct
and withhold a tax equal to the highest marginal federal income tax rate
applicable to the partner multiplied by such partner's allocable share of
effectively connected income. In order to comply with this requirement, each
participating partnership will withhold the prescribed percentage of the
effectively connected income allocated to you unless you properly complete and
sign a certification of non-foreign status certifying your taxpayer
identification number and address, and that you are not a foreign person.
Amounts withheld will be creditable against a limited partner's federal income
tax liability and, if in excess thereof, a refund may be obtained from the
Internal Revenue Service by filing a U.S. income tax return.
Tax Consequences of Partnership Operations. The federal income tax
consequences of the merger of each partnership, described above, are in addition
to the tax consequences of a participating partnership for the taxable year
ending on the closing date of the merger of the partnership. You must include
your allocable share of a participating partnership's items of income, gain,
loss, deduction and credit for that taxable year, including your allocable share
through the closing date of the merger of the partnership, on your federal
income tax return for that taxable year. That information will be provided to
you by or on behalf of the partnership on a Schedule K-1 as required by tax law.
The
56
69
results of partnership operations for such period will impact your tax basis in
your interest in a participating partnership, and your computation of gain or
loss resulting from the merger of the partnership.
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
The merger of each participating partnership will be accounted for as a
purchase under generally accepted accounting principles. Under those rules,
Pioneer USA will record the assets and liabilities of each participating
partnership on its books at its estimated fair market value.
EFFECT OF DEBT OWED BY A LIMITED PARTNER TO PIONEER USA ON AMOUNT OF PIONEER
PARENT COMMON STOCK TO BE RECEIVED BY THE LIMITED PARTNER
If a limited partner is indebted to Pioneer USA for any portion of the
limited partner's original investment in the partnership, Pioneer USA plans to
apply the Pioneer Parent common stock that would otherwise be distributed to the
limited partner upon completion of the merger of the partnership against that
limited partner's indebtedness. If a limited partner's indebtedness to Pioneer
USA is less than the merger value allocated to limited partnership interests
held by the limited partner, the limited partner will receive Pioneer Parent
common stock equal to the amount by which such merger value exceeds such
indebtedness. If a limited partner's indebtedness to Pioneer USA is greater than
the merger value allocated to the limited partnership interests held by the
limited partner, Pioneer USA may collect the deficiency from the limited
partner.
EFFECT OF MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP ON LIMITED PARTNERS WHO DO NOT VOTE IN
FAVOR OF THE MERGER; NO APPRAISAL OR DISSENTERS' RIGHTS
You will be bound by the merger of each partnership in which you own an
interest if the limited partners in the partnership vote a majority, or 66 2/3%
for Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P., of their
partnership interests in favor of the merger, even if you vote against the
merger or do not vote. If the merger of the partnership occurs, you will be
entitled to receive only Pioneer Parent common stock based on the merger value
of your partnership interests in the partnership. Under the laws of the State of
Delaware and the State of Texas, which are the states of formation of the
partnerships, you are not entitled to appraisal or dissenters' rights with
respect to the merger of any partnership.
FUTURE OF NONPARTICIPATING PARTNERSHIPS
If the limited partners of a partnership do not approve the merger of that
partnership, the partnership will remain in existence. Each nonparticipating
partnership will continue to operate as a separate legal entity with its own
assets and liabilities. There will be no immediate change in its business
objectives, and Pioneer USA plans to continue to manage and operate each
nonparticipating partnership in accordance with the terms of its current
partnership agreement. A limited partner in a nonparticipating partnership will
retain the rights, privileges and obligations that the limited partner currently
has pursuant to the partnership agreement of the nonparticipating partnership.
At about the same time that Pioneer USA mails certificates for Pioneer Parent
common stock to the partners of each participating partnership in payment of the
merger value for the partnership, Pioneer USA will mail any cash distributions
that were delayed for administrative purposes prior to the completion of the
merger of each participating partnership to the partners of each
nonparticipating partnership.
Pioneer USA's board of directors will determine each nonparticipating
partnership's business plan. In addition, the board of directors of each of
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA will decide what, if any, actions they will take
with respect to each nonparticipating partnership. Potential activities may
include a tender offer for partnership interests of limited partners or a
proposal to acquire the assets of, or merge with, one or more of the
nonparticipating partnerships. Such proposals may be on terms similar to or
different from those of the merger of each partnership described in this
document.
Pioneer USA plans to continue to manage each nonparticipating partnership
until such partnership is dissolved or Pioneer USA is replaced as the general
partner of such partnership. The replacement of Pioneer USA as general partner
would require compliance with the partnership agreement of such nonparticipating
partnership, including the requisite vote of the limited partners thereof. A
nonparticipating partnership may be dissolved in the future in accordance with
its partnership agreement if Pioneer USA or any substituted general partner
withdraws from the nonparticipating partnership, or in some cases, otherwise
elects to dissolve that partnership. Pioneer USA might withdraw from, or
otherwise elect to dissolve, a nonparticipating partnership if Pioneer USA
determines that the nonparticipating partnership's continued
57
70
operation is uneconomical or its dissolution and liquidation are in the best
interests of the partners of that partnership. Upon dissolution, the
nonparticipating partnership's assets may be sold for cash or securities, which
may be more or less than the merger value assigned to that partnership, or
distributed in kind to the partners of the nonparticipating partnership. Any
such sale may be to Pioneer Parent or an affiliate of Pioneer Parent and may
involve cash or securities of Pioneer Parent.
NONMANAGING GENERAL PARTNERS OF SOME PARTNERSHIPS
Eight of the partnerships described in this document have two general
partners. In those eight partnerships, Pioneer USA is the managing general
partner. The second general partner in those partnerships is a partnership whose
limited partners are former affiliates of Pioneer Parent's predecessors. The
names of the eight partnerships and the names of the nonmanaging general partner
in each of those partnerships are:
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 83-B, Ltd.................................. P&P Employees 83-B, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 84-A, Ltd.................................. P&P Employees 84-A, Ltd.
Pioneer USA is the sole general partner of each of the nonmanaging general
partners. In that capacity, Pioneer USA has authority:
- to cause the nonmanaging general partner to perform its obligations
relating to the partnership described above; and
- to exercise on behalf of the nonmanaging general partner all of the
rights and elections granted to the nonmanaging general partner by the
partnership described above.
None of the nonmanaging general partners has the right to vote on the
merger of any partnership. However, Pioneer USA, as the general partner of each
nonmanaging general partner, has approved the merger of each partnership and the
distribution of this document to the limited partners of each partnership and to
the unaffiliated limited partners of each nonmanaging general partner, if any,
of each partnership. The merger value attributable to the unaffiliated limited
partners of the nonmanaging general partners is $203,347, consisting of
approximately 11,298 shares of Pioneer Parent common stock in the aggregate
assuming an average closing price of $18.00 per share of Pioneer Parent common
stock. Pioneer USA will not receive any Pioneer Parent common stock in any
merger for its partnership interests in any nonmanaging general partner.
THIRD PARTY OFFERS
Pioneer USA will consider offers from third parties to purchase any
partnership or its assets. Those who wish to make an offer for any partnership
or its assets must demonstrate to Pioneer USA's reasonable satisfaction their
financial ability and willingness to complete such a transaction. Before
reviewing non-public information about a partnership, a third party will need to
enter into a customary confidentiality agreement. Offers should be at prices and
on terms that are fair to the partners of the partnership for which the offer is
being made and more favorable to the unaffiliated limited partners than the
prices and terms proposed for the merger of that partnership in this document.
Pioneer Parent reserves the right to match or top any such offer. In addition,
any such offer would be subject to Pioneer USA's right to continue operation of
the properties. Since first announcing our willingness to consider third party
offers in September 1999, Pioneer USA has not received any third party offer for
any partnership or its assets. Other than announcing that we will consider third
party offers for any partnership or its assets we have not actively solicited
bids from third parties. Persons desiring to make an offer for any partnership
should contact Timothy L. Dove or Mark L. Withrow, Board of Directors, Pioneer
Natural Resources USA, Inc., 5205 North O'Connor Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving,
Texas 75039.

71
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:
- registration of the partnership interests of the partnership under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and
- the partnership's obligations to file reports and other information under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Pioneer USA plans to cause each nonparticipating partnership that is also a
reporting partnership to continue to file reports and other information under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However, Pioneer USA's board of directors
could determine in the future to cause each such partnership to terminate its
reporting obligations as permitted by federal securities laws.
The advantages of remaining registered, or remaining obligated to file
reports, under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 include the informational and
reporting requirements under that act, including requirements related to tender
offers, proxy solicitation and consents and insiders' transactions in
partnership interests. Those reporting requirements may provide limited partners
with more detailed information on a more frequent basis than might otherwise be
required under the partnership agreement for the partnership. In addition, a
partnership's filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are available to
the public over the Internet at the SEC's web site at www.sec.gov and are also
available at the SEC's public reference rooms in Washington, D.C., and Chicago,
Illinois.
The disadvantages of remaining registered, or remaining obligated to file
reports, include the partnership's cost to prepare and distribute the various
reports and other information required under the Securities Exchange Act of
1934. Deregistering the partnership interests of a nonparticipating partnership
or otherwise terminating its filing and reporting obligations could reduce that
partnership's general and administrative expenses because the reporting
obligations of the partnership under its partnership agreement require annual
and semi-annual reports, but not quarterly reports.
ELIMINATION OF A FAIRNESS OPINION REQUIREMENT THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BENEFIT
PIONEER USA
Pioneer USA, as the sole general partner of each of Parker & Parsley 91-A,
L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P., is entitled to receive an opinion as to
the fairness of the proposed merger transaction to Pioneer USA in its capacity
as sole general partner of each of those partnerships. However, since Pioneer
Parent and Pioneer USA are the parties making the offer for the proposed merger
transaction, Pioneer USA will not seek such a fairness opinion. In addition,
Pioneer USA, as the sole general partner of each of those two partnerships, is
entitled to amend, and Pioneer USA will amend, the partnership agreement for the
partnership to eliminate the requirement for such fairness opinion for Pioneer
USA in connection with the proposed merger of the partnership.

PAYMENT OF EXPENSES AND FEES
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA estimate that the aggregate expenses and
fees of the mergers of all of the partnerships will be as follows:
Filing fee with SEC......................................... $ 20,500
Legal fees.................................................. 350,000
Accounting fees............................................. 100,000
Financial advisor fees...................................... 365,000
Independent petroleum consultant fees....................... 50,000
Printing and mailing fees................................... 850,000
Information agent fees and solicitation and tabulation
expenses.................................................. 225,000
Miscellaneous............................................... 39,500
----------
Total expenses.................................... $2,000,000
==========
Each participating partnership will pay its pro rata share, based on its
reserve value, of the aggregate estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of
all of the partnerships. Pioneer Parent will pay the pro rata share of each
nonparticipating partnership's estimated expenses and fees. Pioneer Parent has
also agreed to pay any expenses and fees actually incurred in excess of $2.0
million and if Pioneer Parent terminates or abandons the merger as to any
partnership, any expenses or fees allocated to that partnership. Pioneer Parent
and Pioneer USA have reduced the net working capital component of each
partnership's merger value by that partnership's pro rata share of the estimated
expenses and fees.

THE MERGER AGREEMENT
The following describes the material terms of the merger agreement that
Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA, and the partnerships signed on September 20, 2001.
The full text of the merger agreement is attached as Appendix F to this document
and is incorporated by reference in this document. We encourage you to read the
entire merger agreement.
STRUCTURE; EFFECTIVE TIME
The merger agreement provides for the merger of each participating
partnership with and into Pioneer USA, with Pioneer USA surviving each merger.
Each merger will become effective at the time of the filing of the certificate
of merger for each participating partnership with the Secretary of State of the
State of Delaware and, for each participating partnership formed in Texas, with
the Secretary of State of the State of Texas. Each certificate of merger is
expected to be filed as soon as practicable after the last condition precedent
to the related merger set forth in the merger agreement has been satisfied or
waived. We estimate that the closing of the merger of each partnership will be
in the fourth quarter of 2001.
EFFECT OF THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP
As a result of the merger of each participating partnership, the partners
in the partnership will have no continuing interest in that partnership.
Following the merger of each participating partnership, there will be no trading
market for the partnership interests in, and no further distributions paid to
the former partners of, the partnership. In addition, following the consummation
of the merger of each participating partnership that is also a reporting
partnership, the registration of any partnership interests in the partnership
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 will be terminated.
CONDUCT OF BUSINESS PRIOR TO THE MERGER OF EACH PARTNERSHIP
From the date of the merger agreement until the effective time of the
merger of each partnership, each partnership is required:
- to conduct its business only in the ordinary course consistent with past
practice; and
- to use its reasonable best efforts:
- to preserve intact its business organization;
- to keep available the services of its officers, employees and
consultants; and
- to preserve its relationships with customers, suppliers and other
persons with which it has significant business dealings.
Pioneer USA has suspended cash distributions to the partners of each
partnership until after the effective time of the merger of the partnership.
Partners of each nonparticipating partnership will receive cash distributions
that are delayed for administrative purposes at about the same time Pioneer USA
mails certificates for Pioneer Parent common stock to the partners of each
participating partnership in payment of merger value for each partnership.
OTHER AGREEMENTS
Special Meetings; Proxies. Pioneer USA has agreed to cause the special
meeting of the limited partners of each partnership to be duly called and held
as soon as reasonably practicable for the purpose of voting on the approval and
adoption of the merger proposals for the partnership. Pioneer USA has also
agreed to use its reasonable best efforts to solicit from the limited partners
of each partnership proxies in favor of the merger proposals and to take all
other action necessary or advisable to secure any vote or consent of the limited
partners of the partnership required by the partnership agreement of the
partnership or the merger agreement or by law in connection with the merger of
the partnership.
Reasonable Commercial Efforts. Each party has agreed to use all reasonable
commercial efforts:
- to obtain in a timely manner all necessary waivers, consents and
approvals and to effect all necessary registrations and filings; and
- to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be
done, all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable laws and
regulations to consummate as promptly as practicable the transactions
contemplated by the merger agreement.

64
77
THE SPECIAL MEETINGS
TIME AND PLACE; PURPOSE
The special meeting of the limited partners of each partnership will be
held on , 2001, at 10:00 a.m., at the Dallas Marriott Las Colinas
Hotel, Irving, Texas 75039. The purpose of each special meeting, and any
adjournment or postponement of the special meeting for each partnership, is for
the limited partners of each partnership to consider and vote on the following
matters:
- A proposal to approve an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of
September 20, 2001, among Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and each of the
partnerships. Each participating partnership will merge with and into
Pioneer USA, with Pioneer USA surviving the merger. Each partnership
interest of a participating partnership will be converted into Pioneer
Parent common stock. The number of shares of common stock Pioneer Parent
will offer for all partnership interests of a participating partnership
will be based on (1) the participating partnership's merger value and (2)
the average closing price of the Pioneer Parent common stock, as reported
by the New York Stock Exchange, for the ten trading days ending three
business days before the initial date scheduled for the special meeting
for the partnership. The merger value for a participating partnership is
equal to the sum of the present value of estimated future net revenues
from the partnership's estimated oil and gas reserves and its net working
capital, in each case as of March 31, 2001, less its pro rata share,
based on its reserve value, of the estimated expenses and fees of the
mergers of all of the partnerships and less the cash distribution mailed
on July 13, 2001, by the partnership to its partners. For purposes of
illustration in this document, we have calculated the number of shares to
be issued based on an assumed average closing price of $18.00 per share
of Pioneer Parent common stock. Prior to the date of the special meeting
for each partnership, we will update the number of shares to be issued
using the actual average closing price of Pioneer Parent common stock for
the ten trading days ending three business days before the initial date
of the special meeting. The Pioneer Parent common stock will be allocated
among the partners based on the liquidation provisions of each
partnership agreement. Pioneer Parent will not issue fractional shares to
any limited partner upon completion of the merger of any partnership.
Instead, Pioneer Parent will round any fractional shares of Pioneer
Parent common stock up to the nearest whole share. Pioneer USA will not
receive any Pioneer Parent common stock for its partnership interests in
the participating partnerships.
- A proposal to amend the partnership agreement of each partnership to
permit the partnership's merger with Pioneer USA. If the amendment is not
approved, that partnership cannot merge into Pioneer USA even if the
partners of that partnership approve the merger agreement.
- A proposal (A) to approve the opinion issued to Pioneer USA by Stradley
Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP of Wilmington, Delaware, relying as to matters
of Texas law on the opinion of Arter & Hadden LLP of Dallas, Texas, 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 Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP and (as
to Texas law matters) Arter & Hadden LLP as special legal counsel for the
limited partners of each partnership for the limited purpose of rendering
the legal opinion.
Pioneer USA is also soliciting authorization to use its discretionary
voting authority to vote proxies in favor of any adjournment or postponement of
the special meeting in order to solicit additional proxies.
The Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act and the Texas Revised
Limited Partnership Act require limited partner approval and adoption of the
merger agreement and the merger amendment. Generally, the partnership agreement
of each partnership requires that special legal counsel for the limited partners
render its legal opinion related to the limited partners' approval of the merger
of that partnership. See "The Merger of Each Partnership -- Legal Opinion for
Limited Partners" on page 53 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.
65
78
RECORD DATE; VOTING RIGHTS AND PROXIES
Only limited partners of record of each partnership at the close of
business on September 21, 2001 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the
special meeting for the partnership in which they own partnership interests, or
any adjournments or postponements of such special meeting. Pioneer USA is
entitled to vote partnership interests it holds as a limited partner in all of
the partnerships except:
Parker & Parsley 85-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 85-B, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley Private Investment 85-A, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley Selected 85 Private Investment, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley Private Investment 86, Ltd.
Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P.
Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P.
Pioneer USA's affiliates are also entitled to vote partnership interests they
hold as limited partners in all but the seven partnerships listed above.
However, no affiliates of Pioneer USA own such interests. See "Ownership of
Partnership Interests" on page 71 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.
66
79
REVOCATION OF PROXIES
You may revoke a proxy you have given at any time before that proxy is
voted at the special meeting for each partnership in which you own an interest
by:
- giving written notice of revocation to Pioneer USA;
- signing and returning a later dated proxy; or
- voting in person at the special meeting.
Your notice of revocation will not be effective until Pioneer USA receives it at
or before the special meeting for each partnership in which you own an interest.
Your presence at any such special meeting will not automatically revoke your
proxy in a proxy card. Revocation during any such special meeting will not
affect votes previously taken.
You may deliver your written notice of revocation in person or by mail,
telegraph, telex, or facsimile. Any written notice of revocation must specify
your name and limited partner number as shown on your proxy card and the name of
the partnership to which your revocation relates.
SOLICITATION OF PROXIES
We are soliciting your proxy pursuant to this document. The aggregate
estimated expenses and fees of the merger of each partnership that have been
allocated to each partnership include those incurred in connection with
solicitation of the enclosed proxy as described below.
Pioneer USA has retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. to assist in the
solicitation of proxies from the limited partners of each partnership. The total
fees and expenses of D.F. King & Co., Inc. are estimated to aggregate $225,000
and have been allocated among the partnerships, on a pro rata basis, based on
each partnership's reserve value. In addition to solicitation by use of the
mail, proxies may be solicited by D.F. King & Co., Inc. and by directors,
officers and employees of Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA in person or by
telephone, telegram, facsimile or e-mail. The directors, officers and employees
will not be additionally compensated, but may be reimbursed for out-of-pocket
expenses incurred in connection with the solicitation.
Arrangements may also be made with other brokerage firms, banks,
custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for the forwarding of proxy solicitation
materials to owners of limited partnership interests held of record by those
persons. Each partnership will pay its pro rata share, based on its reserve
value, of those persons' reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding those
materials.
Pioneer USA has also retained D.F. King & Co., Inc. to act as information
agent to perform consulting, administration and clerical work with respect to
the merger of each partnership. Pioneer USA has agreed to indemnify D.F. King &
Co., Inc. against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the federal
securities laws. D.F. King & Co., Inc. will also be responsible for the receipt
and tabulation of the proxy cards. The fees and expenses of D.F. King & Co.,
Inc. for its services as information agent and tabulator are included in the
aggregate amount set forth above.
We intend to mail certificates representing shares of Pioneer Parent common
stock to the partners of record of each participating partnership promptly after
completing the merger of that partnership. Certificates representing partnership
interests will be automatically canceled, and you will not have to surrender
your certificates to receive the Pioneer Parent common stock.
QUORUM
The presence in person or by properly executed proxy of a majority of
limited partnership interests entitled to vote in each partnership is necessary
to constitute a quorum at that partnership's special meeting.
If a quorum is not present at any special meeting, the limited partners
entitled to vote who are present or represented by proxy at that special meeting
may adjourn or postpone that special meeting without notice until a quorum is
present. If a quorum is present at the adjourned or postponed meeting, any
business may be transacted that may have been transacted at the special meeting
had a quorum originally been present. If the adjournment or postponement is for
more than 30 days or if after the adjournment or postponement a new record date
is fixed for the adjourned or postponed meeting, a notice of the adjourned or
postponed meeting shall be given to each limited partner of record entitled to
vote at the adjourned or postponed meeting. We are soliciting your proxy to vote
in favor of any motion to adjourn or postpone the special meeting of any
partnership if, prior to the special meeting, we have not received sufficient
proxies to approve
67
80
the merger of the partnership as described in this document. If we receive
sufficient proxies to vote in favor of adjourning the meetings for this reason,
this process will be repeated at any adjourned or postponed meeting until
sufficient proxies to vote in favor of the merger of the partnership have been
received or it appears that sufficient proxies will not be received.
REQUIRED VOTE; BROKER NON-VOTES
Approval of the merger proposals for each partnership requires the
affirmative vote of the limited partners holding a majority of limited
partnership interests in that partnership, except that Parker & Parsley 91-A,
L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P. each require the favorable vote of the
holders, other than Pioneer USA, of 66 2/3% of its limited partnership interests
to approve those merger proposals. Pioneer USA is entitled to vote its
partnership interests on the merger proposals for each partnership except for
the partnerships set forth under "The Special Meetings -- Record Date; Voting
Rights and Proxies" on page 66. As a result, for each partnership in which
Pioneer USA is entitled to vote, approval of at least a majority, and for Parker
& Parsley 91-A, L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B, L.P., at least 66 2/3%, of the
unaffiliated limited partners is not required to approve the merger proposals.
However, for each partnership in which Pioneer Parent is not entitled to vote,
the approval of the unaffiliated limited partners is required to approve the
merger proposals.
Brokers, if any, who hold partnership interests in street name for
customers have the authority to vote on "routine" proposals when they have not
received instructions from beneficial owners. However, these brokers are
precluded from exercising their voting discretion with respect to the approval
and adoption of non-routine matters such as the merger proposals and thus,
absent specific instructions from the beneficial owner of the partnership
interests, brokers are not empowered to vote the partnership interests with
respect to the merger proposals. These "broker non-votes" will have the effect
of a vote against the merger proposals.
PARTICIPATION BY ASSIGNEES
Pioneer USA has the discretionary authority granted to it under each
partnership agreement to withhold its consent to the substitution of any
assignees as partners of the partnership. To facilitate the notification given
to limited partners of each partnership about the merger of the partnership,
Pioneer USA intends to exercise that authority and withhold its consent to the
substitution of any assignees as partners of the partnership from September 21,
2001 until the earlier to occur of the closing date of the merger of the
partnership, or the termination or abandonment of the transaction by Pioneer
Parent and Pioneer USA.
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS FOR SOME LIMITED PARTNERS
Pioneer USA may require that any proxy card executed by an entity, such as
a trust, corporation, or partnership, be accompanied by evidence or an opinion
of counsel that such entity:
- has met all requirements of its governing instruments; and
- is authorized to execute and deliver the proxy card under the laws of the
jurisdiction under which the entity was organized.
Pioneer USA will require the named trustee and the beneficial owner of
trusts, including individual retirement accounts, to execute the proxy card. In
some cases, Pioneer USA may provide a limited partner with an envelope, pre-
addressed to his individual retirement account trustee, so that the limited
partner may forward his executed proxy card to the trustee for the trustee's
signature, if necessary, and subsequent delivery to Pioneer USA. Delivery of a
proxy card to the trustee, with or without the use of a pre-addressed envelope,
and delivery of a proxy card from the trustee to Pioneer USA are at the risk of
the limited partner.
VALIDITY OF PROXY CARDS
A proxy card will not be valid unless it has been properly completed and
executed and timely delivered to Pioneer USA's information agent with all other
required documents. Pioneer USA will determine all questions as to the validity,
form, eligibility, time of receipt and acceptance of a proxy card and its
determination will be final and binding. Pioneer USA's interpretation of the
terms and conditions of the merger of each partnership, including the
instructions for the proxy card, will also be final and binding.
A proxy card will not be valid until any irregularities have been cured or
waived. If Pioneer USA does not waive the irregularities, it will return the
defective proxy card to the limited partner as soon as practicable. Pioneer USA
is under no duty to give notification of defects in a proxy card and will incur
no liability if it fails to give such notification.
68
81
Delivery of a proxy card is at the risk of the limited partner. A proxy
card will be effective for purposes of voting only when it is actually received
by Pioneer USA's information agent. To ensure receipt of the proxy card and all
other required documents, Pioneer USA suggests that limited partners use
overnight courier delivery or certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested.
LOCAL LAWS
Proxy solicitations will not be made to, nor will proxy cards be accepted
from, limited partners of any partnership in any jurisdiction in which the
solicitations would not be in compliance with federal and state securities or
other laws.
COMPARATIVE PER SHARE MARKET PRICE AND DIVIDEND INFORMATION
The table below sets forth, for the calendar quarters indicated, the
reported high and low closing prices of Pioneer Parent common stock as reported
on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transaction Tape, in each case based on
published financial sources. Pioneer Parent's board of directors did not declare
dividends to the holders of Pioneer Parent common stock during 1999, 2000 or the
six months ended June 30, 2001. The determination of the amount of future cash
dividends, if any, to be declared and paid is in the sole discretion of Pioneer
Parent's board of directors and will depend on the following factors:
- Pioneer Parent's financial condition;
- earnings and funds from operations;
- the level of Pioneer Parent's capital and exploration expenditures;
- dividend restrictions in Pioneer Parent's financing agreements;
- Pioneer Parent's future business prospects; and
- other matters that Pioneer Parent's board of directors deems relevant.
None of the partnership interests of any partnership are traded on a
national stock exchange or in any other significant market. No liquid market
exists for interests in any of the partnerships. See Table 15 of Appendix A for
historical information about recent trades per $1,000 limited partner investment
in each partnership for the seven months ended July 31, 2001 and the years ended

INTERESTS OF PIONEER PARENT, PIONEER USA
AND THEIR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
A number of conflicts of interest are inherent in the relationships among
each partnership, Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and their respective directors and
officers.
CONFLICTING DUTIES OF PIONEER USA, INDIVIDUALLY AND AS GENERAL PARTNER
Pioneer USA, as general partner of each partnership, has a duty to manage
each partnership in the best interests of the limited partners. Pioneer USA also
has a duty to operate its business for the benefit of its sole stockholder,
Pioneer Parent. Consequently, Pioneer USA's duties to the limited partners of
each partnership may conflict with its duties to Pioneer Parent.
The members of the board of directors of Pioneer USA have a duty to cause
Pioneer USA to manage each partnership in the best interests of the limited
partners. All members of the board of directors of Pioneer USA are officers of
Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA. Thus, the members of the board of directors of
Pioneer USA have duties to operate Pioneer USA's business for the benefit of its
sole stockholder, Pioneer Parent, and, as officers of Pioneer Parent, to operate
Pioneer Parent's business in its best interests. Consequently, the duties of the
members of the board of directors of Pioneer USA to the limited partners may
conflict with the duties of those members to Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA and
their stockholders.
Neither Pioneer Parent nor Pioneer USA retained an independent
representative to negotiate on behalf of the limited partners of each
partnership because:
- neither the partnership agreement for any partnership nor any applicable
law provides for any procedure to identify and select an independent
representative, unless each limited partner of the partnership agrees to
the independent representative;
- Pioneer USA, as sole or managing general partner of each partnership,
still has its fiduciary duty to the limited partners; and
- it would be (1) cost-prohibitive to find one or more persons to represent
the limited partners in all of the partnerships because no one other than
Pioneer USA owns an interest in all of the partnerships and (2)
impractical to have 46 independent representatives.
PIONEER USA'S EMPLOYEES PROVIDE SERVICES TO THE PARTNERSHIPS
None of the partnerships currently has any employees. Each partnership
relies on Pioneer USA's personnel. Pioneer USA provides all management functions
on behalf of each partnership. Therefore, each partnership currently competes
with Pioneer USA for the time and resources of Pioneer USA's employees.
FINANCIAL INTERESTS OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The directors and officers of Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA have equity
interests in Pioneer Parent through stock ownership, stock options and other
stock-based compensation, but do not have financial or equity interests in any
partnership. See "Ownership of Partnership Interests" on page 71. 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.
70
83
OWNERSHIP OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS
Pioneer Parent does not directly own any partnership interests in any
partnership. Pioneer Parent beneficially owns all of Pioneer USA's partnership
interests in each partnership. Table 6 of Appendix A to this document contains
the voting percentage as of July 31, 2001, of the outstanding limited
partnership interests for each partnership that are beneficially owned by
Pioneer USA as a limited partner. As of July 31, 2001, no person or entity known
by Pioneer USA beneficially owns more than 5% of the outstanding limited
partnership interests in any partnership, except in Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd.,
Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd. and Parker and Parsley 82-III, Ltd. In those
partnerships, Pioneer USA repurchased and now owns partnership interests
representing the following beneficial ownership percentages:
Parker & Parsley 81-I, Ltd. ................................ 5.84%
Parker & Parsley 82-I, Ltd. ................................ 11.71%
Parker & Parsley 82-III, Ltd. .............................. 5.97%
Pioneer USA has sole investment and voting power with respect to partnership
interests it beneficially owns.
Except as set forth above, none of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA, or, to the
knowledge of Pioneer USA, any of their directors or executive officers, or any
associate or majority-owned subsidiary of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA or any
such director or officer:
- beneficially owns any partnership interests of any partnership; or
- has effected any transactions in any partnership interests of any
partnership during the past 60 days.
TRANSACTIONS AMONG ANY PARTNERSHIP, PIONEER PARENT,
PIONEER USA AND THEIR DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
Except as described in this document, including the supplements for each
partnership, there have not been any transactions, negotiations or material
contacts between Pioneer Parent, Pioneer USA, any of their respective
subsidiaries, or, to the knowledge of Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA, any
director or executive officer of Pioneer Parent or Pioneer USA or any associate
of any such persons, on the one hand, and any partnership or any of its general
partners, including Pioneer USA, directors, officers or affiliates, on the other
hand, that are required to be disclosed pursuant to the rules and regulations of
the SEC. Except as described in this document, none of Pioneer Parent, Pioneer
USA, or, to the knowledge of Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA, any director or
executive officer of Pioneer Parent or Pioneer USA, has any agreement,
arrangement or understanding with any other person with respect to any
securities of any partnership.
During March 2001, Pioneer Parent offered to acquire all of the direct oil
and gas interests owned by some former officers and employees of Pioneer Parent
and Pioneer USA in properties in which Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA own
interests. The merger value for the direct oil and gas interests was equal to
the present value of estimated future net revenues from the oil and gas reserves
attributable to the interests, as of March 31, 2001. In determining the present
value, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA used (1) a five-year NYMEX futures price
for oil and gas as of March 2001 with prices held constant after year five at
the year five price, less standard industry adjustments, (2) historical
operating costs adjusted only for those items affected by commodity prices, such
as production taxes and ad valorem taxes, and (3) a 13.5% discount rate. The
consideration offered in the purchases of the direct oil and gas interests was
all cash since offering and registering Pioneer Parent common stock in those
purchases was cost-prohibitive due to the small size of such transactions.
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
71
84
registering Pioneer Parent common stock in these transactions was
cost-prohibitive due to the small size of such transactions.
If you approve the merger of each partnership in which you own an interest,
there are various ways that Pioneer USA may use the properties. Pioneer USA may
continue to operate the properties, it may sell the properties to third parties,
including a royalty trust, or it may spin off the properties to its stockholder.
Although Pioneer USA plans to operate the properties in the immediate future
following completion of the merger of each partnership, it has not decided how
to use the properties in the long-term.

PIONEER PARENT
Pioneer Parent is a large independent exploration and production company
with total proved reserves equivalent to 3.8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas,
or 628 million barrels of oil. Pioneer Parent's proved reserves are balanced
equally between natural gas and oil, and Pioneer Parent has a
reserves-to-production ratio of 14 years. Three core areas in the United States
comprise 67% of Pioneer Parent's reserve base: the Hugoton gas field, the West
Panhandle gas field, and the Spraberry oil and natural gas field. Pioneer Parent
also has domestic properties in East Texas, the Gulf Coast, and the offshore
Gulf of Mexico as well as a significant international presence through its
properties in Argentina, Canada, South Africa, and Gabon.
Pioneer Parent seeks to increase net asset value and production by
combining lower risk development drilling with higher risk exploration activity.
Pioneer Parent has identified over 1,700 development drilling locations on its
properties in the U.S., Argentina and Canada. Approximately 76% of the
identified 1,700 development drilling locations have proved undeveloped reserves
attributable to them. Pioneer Parent's exploration program is focused in the
deepwater Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf Coast shelf, South Africa and Gabon. Pioneer
Parent expects significant new production from the deepwater Gulf of Mexico and
South Africa in 2002 and 2003 as it builds on its recent exploration successes
in those areas. The production from Pioneer Parent's long-lived reserves in the
Spraberry, Hugoton and West Panhandle fields are expected to provide stable cash
flows to fund Pioneer Parent's development and exploration activities.
75
88
During 2000, Pioneer Parent spent $340 million for capital expenditures to
add 437 billion cubic feet of natural gas equivalent reserves. As a consequence,
in 2000 Pioneer Parent replaced 167% of its production at an acquisition and
finding cost of $.78 per Mcf equivalent. Pioneer Parent's acquisition and
finding cost is the result obtained by dividing total costs incurred by the sum
of revisions of previous estimates, purchases of minerals-in-place and new
discoveries and extensions. Pioneer Parent drilled 296 wells with 90% success
worldwide, including 83 exploration and extension wells with 73% success.
For 2001, Pioneer Parent has budgeted $480 million of capital expenditures,
a 41% increase over 2000 capital expenditures but slightly less than expected
available cash flow. Approximately 73% of the 2001 capital expenditure budget is
for development activities with the remaining 27% for exploration. Pioneer
Parent plans to drill approximately 460 development wells and 26 exploratory
wells in its 2001 program, and approximately 65% of the capital expenditures
will be for drilling activities in the U.S.
KEY PROJECTS TO INCREASE PRODUCTION
Pioneer Parent expects to increase its production of oil and gas from
current levels by 25% to 30% on a gas equivalent basis by early to mid 2003,
primarily from four projects. The production increases anticipated from the four
projects are derived from currently booked proved undeveloped reserves. The
projects in general build on Pioneer Parent's recent exploration successes.
- The Canyon Express project is a joint development of three deepwater Gulf
of Mexico discoveries, including Pioneer Parent's Aconcagua and Camden
Hills fields. The project is being developed with a capacity to deliver
500 million cubic feet of natural gas per day by the summer of 2002.
Pioneer Parent owns an 18% interest in the Canyon Express project and
expects that production from the project will increase Pioneer Parent's
North American natural gas production by 30% from current levels.
- 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 40% working interest in the field,
and production from the project is expected to increase Pioneer Parent's
total oil production by more than 20%. Pioneer Parent has also discovered
oil and natural gas at its Boomslang prospect in offshore South Africa.
- The Devils Tower discovery was Pioneer Parent's second in the deepwater
Gulf of Mexico. The oil field has been successfully appraised, and
development plans call for first production in early 2003. Pioneer Parent
has a 25% working interest in the field, and production from the field is
expected to increase Pioneer Parent's total oil production by
approximately 20% from current levels.

Each drilling partnership was formed to establish long-lived oil and gas
reserves primarily by drilling low-risk development wells in the Spraberry field
of the Permian Basin of West Texas. The oil and gas properties of each drilling
partnership consist primarily of leasehold interests in producing properties
located in Texas. The partners of a drilling partnership received a tax benefit
from drilling activities in the partnership's first year. Subsequently, each
drilling partnership has regularly distributed its net cash flow. As of the date

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

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.

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

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
JUNE 30, 2001 AND DECEMBER 31, 2000
NOTE 1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information of Pioneer Natural
Resources Company ("Pioneer Parent") has been prepared to give effect to Pioneer
Parent's offer to acquire 46 limited partnerships (collectively, the "Combined
Partnerships") that Pioneer USA serves as the sole or managing general partner.
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2001 has been
prepared to give effect to the acquisition of the Combined Partnerships as if it
had occurred on June 30, 2001. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of
operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and for the year ended
December 31, 2000 are presented as if the acquisition of the Combined
Partnerships occurred on January 1, 2000.
Following is a description of the individual columns included in these
unaudited pro forma combined financial statements:
Pioneer Parent -- Represents the consolidated balance sheet of Pioneer
Parent as of June 30, 2001, and the consolidated statements of operations
of Pioneer Parent for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and the year ended
December 31, 2000.
Combined Partnerships -- Represents the combined balance sheets of the
46 limited partnerships as of June 30, 2001 and the combined statements of
operations of such limited partnerships for the six months ended June 30,
2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000.
NOTE 2. PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS
Following are descriptions of the pro forma adjustments used in the
preparation of the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial
statements:
(a) To record the acquisition of the Combined Partnerships, using the purchase
method of accounting, for $107.1 million in Pioneer Parent common stock,
representing 5,947,940 shares assuming an $18.00 average stock price. The
allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and liabilities is
preliminary and, therefore, subject to change.
The purchase price allocation as of June 30, 2001 reflects the fair value
of the Combined Partnerships' assets and liabilities as of that date. A
final purchase price allocation will be done at closing based upon the fair
value of the Combined Partnerships' assets and liabilities at that time.
The date three business days prior to the special meeting of limited
partners of each partnership to be held on , 2001 will be the
measurement date for determining the final number of shares of Pioneer
Parent common stock to be issued (the "Measurement Date"). Pioneer Parent
will value the shares to be issued using the average closing price of
Pioneer Parent common stock for the five-day period comprised of the two
days prior to the Measurement Date, the Measurement Date and the two
business days subsequent to the Measurement Date. The final allocation is
not anticipated to change materially other than for cash flow generated
from the Combined Partnerships' property interests between March 31, 2001
and closing, which will be reflected as a reduction to oil and gas
properties and an increase to working capital in the final purchase price
allocation.
(b) To eliminate affiliate receivables and affiliate payables between Pioneer
Parent and the Combined Partnerships.
(c) To adjust pro forma cash and partners' capital for the $7.1 million cash
distribution disbursed to existing partners other than Pioneer USA during
July 2001.
(d) To eliminate Pioneer Parent's proportionate share of the Combined
Partnerships that is already reflected in Pioneer Parent's consolidated
statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and for the
year ended December 31, 2000.
(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.
P-5
106
PIONEER NATURAL RESOURCES COMPANY
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
(g) To eliminate the Combined Partnerships impairment of oil and gas properties
that would not occur on a pro forma basis with Pioneer Parent due to the
basis in oil and gas properties reflecting the value assigned using the
purchase method of accounting.
(h) Pioneer Parent has unused net operating loss carryovers in the United
States that could be used to offset any incremental earnings of the
Combined Partnerships. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustment was recorded
for additional income tax expense. See Note 3. below.
(i) To adjust the weighted average basic and diluted common shares outstanding
for the issuance of 5,947,940 shares of Pioneer Parent common stock to
acquire the Combined Partnerships.
The pro forma numerator for basic and diluted earnings per share
calculations equals "income from continuing operations" per the Unaudited Pro
Forma Combined Statement of Operations (see pages P-3 and P-4). Following is a
reconciliation of the pro forma weighted average basic and diluted shares
outstanding (in thousands):

million aggregate purchase price, the average closing price of the Pioneer
Parent common stock over the five day period comprised of the two business
days prior to the Measurement Date, the Measurement Date and the two business
days subsequent to the Measurement Date is $16.00 per share, $18.00 per share,
or $20.00 per share:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
NOTE 3. INCOME TAXES
Pioneer Parent will account for income taxes in accordance with the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting
for Income Taxes." In accordance therewith, Pioneer Parent will prepare separate
tax calculations for each tax jurisdiction in which Pioneer Parent will be
subject to income taxes. Pioneer Parent has unused net operating loss carryovers
and alternative minimum tax net operating loss carryovers that would be utilized
to reduce incremental United States income taxes that would otherwise be
incurred as a result of pro forma pre-tax earnings of the Combined Partnerships.
Accordingly, Pioneer Parent has not recognized incremental income tax expense in
the accompanying unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the
six months ended June 30, 2001 and the year ended December 31, 2000.
NOTE 4. OIL AND GAS RESERVE DATA
The following unaudited pro forma supplemental information regarding the
oil and gas activities of Pioneer Parent is presented pursuant to the disclosure
requirements promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission and Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 69, "Disclosures About Oil and Gas
Producing Activities." The pro forma combined reserve information is presented
as if the acquisition of the Combined Partnerships had occurred on January 1,
2000. Information for oil and NGL's are presented in barrels (Bbls) and for gas
in thousands of cubic feet (Mcf).
The pro forma combined net proved reserves are 2.2 MMBOE more than the
summation of historical net proved reserves of Pioneer Parent and the Combined
Partnerships. This difference can be attributed to the net impact of the
partnerships' historical net proved reserves being burdened by administrative
overhead and the Pioneer Parent reserves already including its pro rata share of
the partnerships' reserves. Administrative overhead is charged by the operator
(Pioneer Parent for the majority of the properties) in accordance with the joint
operating agreements of each property and in accordance with the guidelines
prescribed by the Council of Petroleum Accounting Society ("COPAS"). Because
these charges will not be charged to Pioneer Parent after the transaction, on a
pro forma combined basis Pioneer Parent has eliminated the administrative
overhead charges consistent with industry standards. Consequently, the economic
lives of the partnerships' properties are extended and additional reserves on a
pro forma combined basis have been added. Offsetting the adjustment above is the
elimination of Pioneer Parent's general partner and limited partner ownership
because such ownership is already included in Pioneer Parent's reserves.
Pioneer Parent emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise
and subject to revision and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise
than those of producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, the estimates are
expected to change as future information becomes available and such changes
could be significant.
For additional information regarding the oil and gas activities of Pioneer
Parent and the Combined Partnerships, from which the following unaudited pro
forma supplemental information was derived, please see: (a) Pioneer Parent's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2000 for information
regarding Pioneer Parent's stand-alone oil and gas activities, (b) Table 11 of
Appendix A and (c) the review by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. of the
Summary Reserve Report for the Combined Partnerships included in Appendix C for
the volumes and values attributable to the Combined Partnerships.

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

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

(a) The reserve value is one of the components of the merger value for each
partnership and represents the present value of estimated future net
revenues from the partnership's estimated oil and gas reserves as of March
31, 2001. The present value was calculated using: (1) a five-year New York
Mercantile Exchange, or NYMEX, futures price for oil and gas as of March 31,
2001 with prices held constant after year five at the year five price, less
standard industry adjustments, (2) historical operating costs adjusted only
for those items affected by commodity prices, such as production taxes and
ad valorem taxes, and (3) a 10.0% discount rate. For 2001, the oil and gas
prices were based on the average NYMEX futures price for the nine-month
period beginning on April 1, 2001 and ending December 31, 2001.
(b) Represents Pioneer USA's partnership interests in each partnership as: (1)
the sole or managing general partner of the partnership; (2) a limited
partner of the partnership; and (3) the sole general partner of each
nonmanaging general partner. Pioneer USA will not receive any Pioneer Parent
common stock for its partnership interests in any participating partnership.
However, as a result of the merger of each participating partnership,
Pioneer USA will acquire 100% of the properties of the partnership including
properties attributable to its partnership interests in the partnerships.
(c) Represents four unaffiliated individuals' partnership interests as limited
partners of each nonmanaging general partner. Excludes Pioneer USA's
partnership interests as general partner of each nonmanaging general
partner.
(d) Represents the partnership interests of unaffiliated limited partners of
each partnership. Excludes Pioneer USA's partnership interests as a limited
partner of any partnership.

Attention Board of Directors
Gentlemen:
Subject: Summary Letter Including 46 Reports of
Review of Estimates Prepared by
Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.
of Oil and Gas Reserves and
Associated Future Net Revenue to the
Interests of the Limited Partners
or the Converted Limited Partners
in Various Parker & Parsley Partnerships
Managed by Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.
Effective March 31, 2001
Williamson Project 1.8859
In accordance with your request, Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc.
(Williamson) has prepared this summary letter for inclusion in the proxy
statement to be distributed to the limited partners of the referenced
Partnerships by Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. (Pioneer USA). This letter
includes the results from 46 review letters prepared for Pioneer USA to the
interests of the Limited Partners or the Converted Limited Partners in various
Parker & Parsley Partnerships managed by Pioneer USA effective March 31, 2001. A
listing of the 46 Williamson review letters is included as Exhibit I.
I. DEFINITIONS OF OIL AND GAS RESERVES
The estimated reserves presented in this summary letter are net proved
reserves, including proved developed producing, proved developed nonproducing,
and proved undeveloped reserves. 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.
Proved Oil and Gas Reserves
Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil,
natural gas, and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data
demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from
known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions. Prices and
costs include consideration of changes provided by contractual arrangements and
may include escalations based upon an estimate of future conditions.
A. Reservoirs are considered proved if economic producibility is
supported by either actual production or conclusive formation test. The
area of a reservoir considered proved includes:
1. that portion delineated by drilling and defined by gas-oil
and/or oil-water contacts, if any; and
2. the immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled, but which
can be reasonably judged as economically productive on the basis of
available geological and engineering data. In the absence of information
on fluid contacts, the lowest known structural occurrence of
hydrocarbons controls the lower proved limit of the reservoir.
B. Reserves which can be produced economically through application of
improved recovery techniques (such as fluid injection) are included in the
"proved" classification when successful testing by a pilot project, or the
operation of an installed program in the reservoir, provides support for
the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based.

C. Estimates of proved reserves do not include the following:
1. oil that may become available from known reservoirs but is
classified separately as "indicated additional reserves";
2. crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, the recovery of
which is subject to reasonable doubt because of uncertainty as to
geology, reservoir characteristics, or economic factors;
3. crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that may occur
in undrilled prospects; and
4. crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that may be
recovered from oil shales, coal, gilsonite, and other such sources.
Proved Developed Oil and Gas Reserves(1)
Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to
be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating
methods. Additional oil and gas expected to be obtained through the application
of fluid injection or other improved recovery techniques for supplementing the
natural forces and mechanisms of primary recovery should be included as "proved
developed reserves" only after testing by a pilot project or after the operation
of an installed program has confirmed through production response that increased
recovery will be achieved.
Proved Undeveloped Reserves
Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves that are expected to
be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a
relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled
acreage shall be limited to those drilling units offsetting productive units
that are reasonably certain of production when drilled. Proved reserves for
other undrilled units can be claimed only where it can be demonstrated with
certainty that there is continuity of production from the existing productive
formation. Under no circumstances should estimates, for proved undeveloped
reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid
injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such
techniques have been proved effective by actual tests in the area and in the
same reservoir.
II. DISCUSSION OF THE REVIEW
In performing the review, Williamson conducted an evaluation of the methods
and procedures utilized by Pioneer USA in the preparation of the estimates of
reserves and associated future net revenue and performed tests and procedures
considered necessary to render the opinions set forth herein.
Williamson evaluated the properties in 46 Parker & Parsley Partnerships as
of December 31, 2000 and the results of that evaluation were transmitted in 46
individual reports (the SEC Reports) dated February 20, 2001. Williamson also
prepared a Summary Letter Report including the SEC Reports for inclusion in a
Registration Statement on Form S-4 under the Securities Act of 1933 to be filed
with the SEC. Pioneer USA prepared reports on each partnership using the SEC
Reports as the bases. Pioneer USA rolled forward the Williamson oil and gas
projections from the SEC Reports to March 31, 2001, applied different pricing,
added three proved undeveloped locations, and made ownership interest changes on
some wells. (Most of the changes were due to payout reversions that had occurred
prior to March 31, 2001.) Pioneer USA represented that no Williamson reserves
projections were altered and no changes were made to the lease operating
expenses, production taxes, or ownership interests (except as noted above). The
Pioneer USA evaluations resulted in oil, natural gas liquids (NGL), and gas
combined total net reserves of 13,882.872 MBBL, 7,008.607 MBBL, and 28,430.649
MMCF with a combined total future net revenue discounted at 10.0 percent (DFNR)
of M$104,150.210.
---------------
(1) 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.

Pioneer USA updated the production generally through April 2001 and transmitted
these March 31, 2001 roll-forward reports in the form of an Aries database to
Williamson for review. Williamson has reviewed the Pioneer USA database and has
determined that no changes have been made to the database except for the
effective date; oil, gas, and NGL prices; the addition of three proved
undeveloped locations; and the ownership interest changes noted above. In
reviewing the roll forward oil and gas reserves projections with the added six
months of production for the months of November 2000 through April 2001,
Williamson recommended and made changes to the oil and/or gas projections of
certain wells as required. These reserves changes resulted in a change to the
Pioneer USA combined total DFNR of M$1,870.163 or 1.8 percent of the combined
total DFNR. The change to the Pioneer USA DFNR for the individual partnerships
ranged from 16.4 percent to a negative 11.1 percent.
Based on our review, it is the opinion of Williamson that the estimates of
the reviewed oil and gas reserves and associated future net revenue prepared by
Pioneer USA effective March 31, 2001 are reasonable in the aggregate and were
prepared in accordance with generally accepted petroleum engineering and
evaluation principles as set forth in "Standards Pertaining to the Estimating
and Auditing of Oil and Gas Reserves Information" promulgated by the Society of
Petroleum Engineers.
Exhibits II, III, and IV detail the Pioneer USA oil, NGL, and gas net
reserves and associated future net revenue, undiscounted and discounted for each
Partnership for the Total Proved, Total Proved Developed, and Total Proved
Undeveloped, respectively, from the Williamson review letters.
III. CONSENT AND DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENT STATUS
We understand that the estimates prepared by Pioneer USA and reviewed by
Williamson are to be included in the proxy statement/prospectus filed by you
with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933. We understand further that the
estimates may be used by you to establish merger values for the Partnerships.
With this understanding in mind, it is our opinion that the estimates of
reserves and associated future net revenue prepared by Pioneer USA and reviewed
by us are reasonable in the aggregate and were prepared in accordance with
generally accepted petroleum engineering and evaluation principles in estimating
the proved oil and gas reserves and in computing the future net revenue derived
from such reserves for each property attributable to the interests held by the
Partnerships.
Williamson is an independent consulting firm and does not own any interests
in the oil and gas properties covered by this summary letter. No employee,
officer, or director of Williamson is an employee, officer, or director of
Pioneer USA or any of the subject Partnerships. Neither the employment of nor
the compensation received by Williamson is contingent upon the values assigned
to the properties covered by this summary letter.
Yours very truly,

Attention Board of Directors
Gentlemen:
Subject: Revised Letter Report Including 46 Reports Prepared
by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc.
for Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.
to the Interests of the Limited Partners
or the Converted Limited Partners
in Various Parker & Parsley Partnerships
Managed by Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.
Effective December 31, 2000
for Disclosure to the
Securities and Exchange Commission
Williamson Project 0.8839
In accordance with your request, Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc.
(Williamson) has prepared this revised summary letter for inclusion in the proxy
statement to be distributed to the limited partners of the referenced
partnerships by Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. (Pioneer USA). This letter
includes 46 Williamson reports prepared for Pioneer USA to the interests of the
limited partners or the converted limited partners in various Parker & Parsley
partnerships managed by Pioneer USA effective December 31, 2000 for disclosure
to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). A listing of the 46 Williamson
reports is included as Exhibit I. This letter report has been revised to include
updated wording in the definitions of SEC reserves. No other changes have been
made to this document.
I. ESTIMATED RESERVES AND ESTIMATED FUTURE NET REVENUES
The total Williamson estimated net proved reserves that are attributable to
the evaluated interests of the 46 partnership reports are shown in Exhibit II
and were based on economic parameters and operating condition considered
applicable as of December 31, 2000 and may be used in disclosure to the SEC.
The present values of the estimated future net revenues from proved
reserves were calculated using a discount rate of 10.00 percent per annum and
were computed in accordance with the financial reporting requirements of the SEC
and are presented in Exhibit II.
At the request of Pioneer USA, Williamson used the Landmark graphics and
reserves and economics evaluation software, Aries, to prepare this summary
report. In evaluations of these properties prior to December 31, 1991,
Williamson utilized its proprietary software programs. No comparative tests have
been performed to determine the difference in evaluation results of either
reserves or revenue quantities that may occur solely as a result of the
differences in the programs nor has Williamson performed tests to 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.
C-1
147
II. DEFINITIONS OF SEC RESERVES(1)
The estimated reserves presented in this summary letter are net proved
reserves, including proved developed producing, proved developed nonproducing,
and proved undeveloped reserves, and were computed in accordance with the
financial reporting requirements of the SEC. In preparing these evaluations, no
attempt has been made to quantify the element of uncertainty associated with any
category. Reserves were assigned to each category as warranted. The definitions
of oil and gas reserves pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange
Act are:
Proved Oil and Gas Reserves
Proved oil and gas reserves are the estimated quantities of crude oil,
natural gas, and natural gas liquids which geological and engineering data
demonstrate with reasonable certainty to be recoverable in future years from
known reservoirs under existing economic and operating conditions, i.e., prices
and costs as of the date the estimate is made. Prices include consideration of
changes in existing prices provided only by contractual arrangements, but not on
escalations based upon future conditions.
A. Reservoirs are considered proved if economic producibility is
supported by either actual production or conclusive formation test. The
area of a reservoir considered proved includes:
1. that portion delineated by drilling and defined by gas-oil
and/or oil-water contacts, if any; and
2. the immediately adjoining portions not yet drilled, but which
can be reasonably judged as economically productive on the basis of
available geological and engineering data. In the absence of
information on fluid contacts, the lowest known structural occurrence
of hydrocarbons controls the lower proved limit of the reservoir.
B. Reserves which can be produced economically through application of
improved recovery techniques (such as fluid injection) are included in the
"proved" classification when successful testing by a pilot project, or the
operation of an installed program in the reservoir, provides support for
the engineering analysis on which the project or program was based.
C. Estimates of proved reserves do not include the following:
1. oil that may become available from known reservoirs but is
classified separately as "indicated additional reserves";
2. crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, the recovery
of which is subject to reasonable doubt because of uncertainty as to
geology, reservoir characteristics, or economic factors;
3. crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that may
occur in undrilled prospects; and
4. crude oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquids, that may be
recovered from oil shales, coal, gilsonite, and other such sources.
Proved Developed Oil and Gas Reserves(2)
Proved developed oil and gas reserves are reserves that can be expected to
be recovered through existing wells with existing equipment and operating
methods. Additional oil and gas expected to be obtained through the application
of fluid injection or other improved recovery techniques for supplementing the
natural forces and mechanisms of primary recovery should be included as "proved
developed reserves" only after testing by a pilot project or after the operation
of an installed program has confirmed through production response that increased
recovery will be achieved.
---------------
(1) For evaluations prepared for disclosure to the Securities and Exchange
Commission, see United States Securities and Exchange Commission, Regulation
S-X, Article 4 -- Rules of General Application, Reg. 210.4-10.
(2) Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc. separates proved developed reserves
into proved developed producing and proved developed nonproducing reserves.
This is to identify proved developed producing reserves as those to be
recovered from actively producing wells; proved developed nonproducing
reserves as those to be recovered from wells or intervals within wells,
which are completed but shut in waiting on equipment or pipeline
connections, or wells where a relatively minor expenditure is required for
recompletion to another zone.
C-2
148
Proved Undeveloped Reserves
Proved undeveloped oil and gas reserves are reserves that are expected to
be recovered from new wells on undrilled acreage, or from existing wells where a
relatively major expenditure is required for recompletion. Reserves on undrilled
acreage shall be limited to those drilling units offsetting productive units
that are reasonably certain of production when drilled. Proved reserves for
other undrilled units can be claimed only where it can be demonstrated with
certainty that there is continuity of production from the existing productive
formation. Under no circumstances should estimates for proved undeveloped
reserves be attributable to any acreage for which an application of fluid
injection or other improved recovery technique is contemplated, unless such
techniques have been proved effective by actual tests in the area and in the
same reservoir.
III. DISCUSSION OF SEC RESERVES
The properties evaluated in this report are located in the states of
Oklahoma and Texas with the majority of the value in the Spraberry (Trend Area)
field, Texas.
The individual projections of lease reserves and economics prepared to
produce this summary report include data that describe the production forecasts
and associated evaluation parameters such as interests, taxes, product prices,
operating costs, investments, salvage values, abandonment costs, and net profit
interests.
Net income to the evaluated interests is the future net revenue after
consideration of royalty revenue payable to others, taxes, operating expenses,
investments, salvage values, abandonment costs, and net profit interests, as
applicable. The future net revenue is before federal income tax and excludes
consideration of any encumbrances against the properties if such exist.
The future net revenue values presented in this report were based on
projections of oil and gas production. It was assumed there would be no
significant delay between the date of oil and gas production and the receipt of
the associated revenue for this production. No opinion is expressed by
Williamson in this report as to a fair market value of the evaluated properties.
Unless specifically identified and documented by Pioneer USA as having
curtailment problems, gas production trends have been assumed to be a function
of well productivity and not of market conditions. The effect of "take or pay"
clauses in gas contracts was not considered.
Oil and natural gas liquids (NGL) reserves are expressed in thousands of
United States (U.S.) barrels (MBBL) of 42 U.S. gallons. Gas volumes are
expressed in millions of cubic feet (MMCF) at 60 degrees Fahrenheit and at the
legal pressure base that prevails in the state which the reserves are located.
No adjustment of the individual gas volumes to a common pressure base has been
made.
This report includes only those costs and revenues which are considered by
Pioneer USA to be directly attributable to individual leases and areas. There
could exist other revenues, overhead costs, or other costs associated with
Pioneer USA or the Limited Partners/Converted Limited Partners which are not
included in this report. Such additional costs and revenues are outside the
scope of this report. This report is not a financial statement for Pioneer USA
or the Limited Partners/Converted Limited Partners and should not be used as the
sole basis for any transaction concerning Pioneer USA, the Limited
Partners/Converted Limited Partners, or the evaluated properties.
The reserves projections in this report are based on the use of the
available data and accepted industry engineering methods. Future changes in any
operational or economic parameters or production characteristics of the
evaluated properties could increase or decrease their reserves. Unforeseen
changes in market demand or allowables set by various regulatory agencies could
also cause actual production rates to vary from those projected. Williamson
reserves the right to alter any of the reserves projections and the associated
economics included in this evaluation in any future evaluations based on
additional data that may be acquired.
All data utilized in the preparation of this report with respect to
interests, reversionary status, oil and gas prices, gas categories, gas contract
terms, operating expenses, investments, salvage values, abandonment costs, net
profit interests, well information, and current operating conditions, as
applicable, were provided by Pioneer USA. Production data provided by Pioneer
USA were utilized. The production data was generally through October 2000. All
data have been reviewed for reasonableness and, unless obvious errors were
detected, have been accepted as correct. It should be emphasized that revisions
to the projections of reserves and economics included in this report may be
required if the provided data are revised for any reason. No inspection of the
properties was made as this was not considered within the scope of this
C-3
149
evaluation. No investigation was made of any environmental liabilities that
might apply to the evaluated properties, and no costs are included for any
possible related expenses.
Since sufficient production history and other data were available, the
estimates of reserves contained in this report were determined by extrapolation
of historical production trends and in accordance with the Definitions of SEC
Reserves included in this summary letter report.
Prices for oil sold as of December 31, 2000 were provided by Pioneer USA to
be used at the effective date. These prices include adjustments for API gravity,
transportation, and any bonus paid. These adjustments were made by Pioneer USA.
After the effective date, prices were held constant for the life of the
properties. No attempt has been made to account for oil price fluctuations which
have occurred in the market subsequent to the effective date of this report.
Prices for gas sold as of December 31, 2000 were provided by Pioneer USA to
be used at the effective date. These prices include adjustments for British
thermal unit content, shrinkage due to NGL removal, transportation and handling
charges, and any other known differences between sales and produced volumes.
These adjustments were made by Pioneer USA. After the effective date, prices
were held constant for the life of the properties unless Pioneer USA indicated
that changes were provided for by contract. All gas prices were applied to
projected wellhead volumes.
Prices for NGL sold as of December 31, 2000 were provided by Pioneer USA to
be used at the effective date. NGL reserves were projected as a separate stream
using a constant ratio (barrels of NGL/thousand cubic feet of gas) based on
historical yields. After the effective date, prices were held constant for the
life of the properties. No attempt has been made to account for price
fluctuations which have occurred in the market subsequent to the effective date
of this report.
It should be emphasized that with the current economic uncertainties,
fluctuation in market conditions could significantly change the economics of the
properties included in this report.
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 Registration
Statement on Form S-4 under the Securities Act of 1933 to be filed by you with
the SEC and in the proxy statement/prospectus included therein. 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.
C-4

[ROBERT A. STANGER LOGO] PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
FAIRNESS OPINION
OF
ROBERT A. STANGER & CO., INC.
August 20, 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, less such Partnership's pro rata share, based upon its
Reserve Value, of the first $2 million of estimated expenses and fees of the
mergers of all of the Partnerships and a cash distribution made in July, 2001
(collectively, referred to herein as the "Merger Value"). We have been advised
that the Merger Value will be allocated and paid to holders of limited
partnership interests (the "Limited Partner Interests") of each Partnership in
accordance with the provisions of the Partnership agreement of each Partnership
relating to a liquidation of the Partnership.
We have been further advised that the Reserve Value has been established by
Pioneer USA and its parent company, Pioneer Parent, based upon the present value
of estimated future net revenues (after certain expenses and charges) from each
Partnership's proved oil and gas reserves as of March 31, 2001 utilizing prices
for 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004 and thereafter of $26.17, $24.36, $22.83, $22.31 and
$21.97 per barrel of oil and $5.18, $4.61, $4.16, $4.09 and $4.12 per thousand
cubic feet of gas, and a discount rate of 10.0%. We have been further advised
that the Reserve Value is based upon the reserve report of Pioneer USA and
Pioneer Parent, as reviewed by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc.
("Williamson"), an independent petroleum engineering firm, as of March 31, 2001,
and to which Pioneer USA and Pioneer Parent applied the prices previously stated
(the "Reserve Analysis").
We have been advised that the Limited Partners in each Partnership will
have the opportunity to approve or reject the participation by their Partnership
in the Transaction pursuant to a proxy statement/prospectus (the "Proxy
Statement/Prospectus") and a Limited Partners meeting which will be prepared and
held, respectively, in connection with the Transaction, and further that Limited
Partners in each Partnership, in exchange for Limited Partner Interests, will
receive the allocated Merger Value in Pioneer Parent Shares. We have been
advised that the value to be ascribed to each share of Pioneer Parent, which is
listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), shall be equal to the average
closing price for such shares on the NYSE for the ten trading day period ending
three business days prior to the special meeting of the Limited Partners
contemplated herein.
You have requested that Robert A. Stanger & Co., Inc. ("Stanger") provide
an opinion as to the fairness from a financial point of view to the unaffiliated
Limited Partners of each Partnership and the unaffiliated limited partners of
the nonmanaging general partner of each applicable Partnership of the Merger
Value ascribed to each Partnership and the allocation thereof to: (i) the
Limited Partners of each Partnership, as a group; (ii) the general partners of
each Partnership as a group; (iii) Pioneer USA, as the managing or sole general
partner of each partnership; (iv) the
D-1
158
unaffiliated Limited Partners of each Partnership, as a group; and (v) the
unaffiliated limited partners of the nonmanaging general partner of each
applicable Partnership as a group.
Stanger, founded in 1978, has provided research, investment banking and
consulting services to clients located throughout the United States, including
major New York Stock Exchange member firms and insurance companies and over
seventy companies engaged in the management and operations of partnerships. The
investment banking activities of Stanger include financial advisory services,
asset and securities valuations, industry and company research and analysis,
litigation support and expert witness services, and due diligence investigations
in connection with both publicly registered and privately placed securities
transactions.
Stanger, as part of its investment banking business, is regularly engaged
in the valuation of securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, and
reorganizations and for estate, tax, corporate and other purposes. In
particular, Stanger's valuation practice principally involves partnerships,
partnership securities and assets typically owned through partnerships
including, but not limited to, oil and gas reserves, real estate, mortgages
secured by real estate, cable television systems, and equipment leasing assets.
In arriving at the opinion set forth below, we have:
- Reviewed the Preliminary Proxy Statement/Prospectus;
- Reviewed a draft of the Merger Agreement which Pioneer USA has indicated
to be in substantially the form which will be executed in connection with
the Transaction;
- Reviewed the financial statements of each partnership, including, if
applicable, the partnership's Form 10-Q and Form 10-K, for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 and for the years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and
1998;
- Reviewed the Reserve Analyses of each Partnership reviewed by Williamson
as of March 31, 2001;
- Reviewed the Reserve Analyses of each Partnership prepared by Williamson
as of December 31, 2000;
- Reviewed the calculations prepared by Pioneer USA and Pioneer Parent of
the Merger Value per $1,000 original investment in each Partnership;
- Reviewed Pioneer USA's analysis of other alternatives to the merger of
each partnership, including going concern value, liquidation value,
royalty trust and production payment;
- Reviewed estimates prepared by Pioneer USA and Pioneer Parent of the
going concern value and liquidation value per $1,000 original investment
in each Partnership;
- Interviewed key management personnel of Pioneer USA regarding the oil and
gas reserves, the financial condition of each Partnership and the terms
of the Transaction;
- Reviewed the financial statements of Pioneer Parent included in its Form
10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and its Form 10-K for the
years ended December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998;
- Reviewed pro forma financial data for Pioneer Parent assuming the
completion of the Transaction;
- Reviewed recent secondary market trading activity for interests in the
Partnerships, as available;
- Reviewed recent trading activity in Pioneer Parent Shares; and
- Conducted such other studies, analyses, inquiries and investigations as
we deemed appropriate.
In rendering this opinion, we have relied, without independent
verification, on the accuracy and completeness in all material respects of all
financial and other information that was furnished or otherwise communicated to
us by Pioneer USA, Pioneer Parent and the Partnerships. We have been advised by
Pioneer USA and Pioneer Parent that the oil and gas properties owned by the
Partnerships are subject to operating agreements (the "Operating Agreements")
with Pioneer USA and that: (i) such Operating Agreements provide for the payment
of overhead charges and that such charges are reasonable compared to amounts
charged for similar services by third-party operators; and (ii) except for
cause, such Operating Agreements do not provide for the termination of Pioneer
USA as operator, and (iii) such Operating Agreements do not provide for the
revision of overhead charges, except as escalated under the terms of such
Operating Agreements. Furthermore, we have been advised by Pioneer USA and
Pioneer Parent that if each Partnership's reserves were offered for sale to a
third party, a condition of such sale would be that the oil and gas reserves
would continue to be subject to the Operating Agreements with Pioneer USA which
provide for the payment of overhead charges, and that it would be appropriate to
assume, when estimating the value of such reserves, that such charges would
D-2
159
continue. We have also been advised that the Merger Value of each Partnership
has been properly allocated between Pioneer USA, the unaffiliated limited
partners of the nonmanaging general partner, and Limited Partners of each
Partnership in accordance with the Partnership Agreement with respect to a
liquidation of such Partnership.
We have not performed an independent appraisal of the oil and gas reserves
or other assets and liabilities of the Partnerships. We have not conducted any
engineering studies and have relied on estimates of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
Parent, which were reviewed by Williamson Petroleum Consultants, Inc., with
respect to oil and gas reserve volumes, prices, operating costs, and overhead
charges.
We have relied on the assurance of Pioneer USA, Pioneer Parent and the
Partnerships that: (i) the Reserve Analysis provided to us was in the judgment
of Pioneer USA and the Partnerships reasonably prepared on bases consistent with
actual historical experience and reflect their best currently available
estimates and good faith judgments; (ii) there are no estimates of costs to
remediate environmental conditions included in the Reserve Analysis; (iii) any
historical financial data, balance sheet data, transaction cost estimates,
Merger Value analyses, going concern value analyses and liquidation value
analyses are accurate and complete in all material respects; (iv) all
allocations included within the calculations of Merger Values, going concern
values and liquidation values have been made in accordance with the Partnership
Agreement for each Partnership; (v) no material changes have occurred in the
information reviewed or in the value of the oil and gas reserves or Working
Capital Balances as of March 31, 2001 of each Partnership between the date the
information was provided to us and the date of this letter; (vi) the relative
ownership interest of the Limited Partners, unaffiliated Limited Partners,
general partners, unaffiliated limited partners of the nonmanaging general
partner of each applicable Partnership and Pioneer USA, as manager or sole
general partner, is accurately included in accordance with the Partnership
Agreements on the analyses provided to us by Pioneer USA; (vii) neither Pioneer
Parent or any of its affiliates has during the thirty days prior to the date
hereof commenced or continued a share repurchase program or similar transaction
which could affect the Pioneer Parent Share price to be used in the Transaction;
and (viii) Pioneer USA, Pioneer Parent and the Partnerships are not aware of any
information or facts regarding the Partnerships, the oil and gas properties, the
Reserve Analysis or the Working Capital Balances of each Partnership that would
cause the information supplied to us to be incomplete or misleading in any
material respect.
We have not been requested to, and therefore did not: (i) make any
recommendation to Pioneer USA, the Partnerships or the Limited Partners with
respect to whether to approve or reject the Transaction; (ii) determine or
negotiate the amount or form of the Merger Value to be paid for Limited Partner
Interests in the Transaction; (iii) offer the assets of the Partnerships for
sale to any third party; (iv) express any opinion as to: (a) the impact of the
Transaction with respect to Pioneer USA or the Limited Partners of any
Partnerships that do not participate in the Transaction; (b) the tax
consequences of the Transaction for Pioneer USA, the unaffiliated limited
partners of the nonmanaging general partner or the Limited Partners of any
Partnership; (c) Pioneer USA's or Pioneer Parent's ability to finance their
obligations pursuant to the Merger Agreement or the impact of a failure to
obtain financing on the financial performance of Pioneer USA, Pioneer Parent or
the Partnerships; (d) Pioneer USA's decision to estimate the Reserve Value of
the oil and gas reserves of each Partnership based upon the continued operation
of the properties by Pioneer USA and the payment of overhead charges in
accordance with existing Operating Agreements or the impact, if any, on the
estimated values of the Partnerships' oil and gas reserves if Pioneer USA and
Pioneer Parent determined to offer or operate the assets subject to revised
Operating Agreements; (e) whether or not alternative methods of determining the
Merger Value would have also provided fair results or results substantially
similar to the methodology used; (f) alternatives to the Transaction, including
the offering of such assets for sale to third-party buyers; (g) the trading
price of Pioneer Parent Shares immediately following the closing of the
Transaction and the distribution of Pioneer Parent Shares in connection
therewith; (h) the fairness of the termination of the repurchase obligations of
Pioneer USA with respect to those partnerships wherein Pioneer USA is obligated
to offer to repurchase limited partnership interests annually based upon a
formula which, in certain circumstances including the repurchase offers based
upon December 31, 2000 oil and gas prices, result in repurchase offer prices
above the market value for the reserves of such Partnerships; or (i) any other
terms of the Transaction.
This letter does not purport to be a complete description of the analyses
performed or the matters considered in rendering this opinion. The analyses and
the summary set forth herein must be considered as a whole, and selecting
portions of such summary or analyses without considering all factors and
analyses would create an incomplete view of the process underlying this opinion.
In rendering this opinion, judgment was applied to a variety of complex analyses
and assumptions. The assumptions made and the judgments applied in rendering the
opinion are not readily susceptible to partial analysis or summary description.
The fact that any specific analysis is referred to herein is not meant to
indicate that such analysis was given greater weight than any other analyses.
D-3
160
Our opinion is based on business, economic, oil and gas market, and other
conditions as of the date of our analysis and addresses the Merger Value in the
context of information available as of the date of our analysis. Events
occurring after that date could affect the value of the assets of the
Partnerships or the assumptions used in preparing this opinion.
Based upon and subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that, as of the
date of this letter and subject to the assumptions, limitations and
qualifications contained herein, the Merger Value ascribed to each Partnership
in connection with the Transaction and the allocation thereof to: (i) the
Limited Partners of each Partnership, as a group; (ii) the general partners of
each Partnership, as a group; (iii) Pioneer USA, as the managing or sole general
partner of each Partnership; (iv) the unaffiliated Limited Partners of each
Partnership, as a group; and (v) the unaffiliated limited partners of the
non-managing general partner of each applicable Partnership, as a group; is fair
to the unaffiliated Limited Partners of each Partnership and the unaffiliated
limited partners of the nonmanaging general partner of each applicable
Partnership, from a financial point of view.

APPENDIX E
TO
PROXY STATEMENT/PROSPECTUS
THE MERGER PROPOSALS
The merger proposals for each partnership, except as otherwise indicated,
are set forth below. For each partnership, the merger proposals include the
approval of:
- the merger agreement dated September 20, 2001, for that partnership,
pursuant to which:
- the partnership will be merged with and into Pioneer USA, on the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth in the merger agreement as
described in the proxy statement/prospectus; and
- each partner, whether limited or general, but other than Pioneer USA,
will receive Pioneer Parent common stock in an amount based on the
merger value of that partnership in exchange for that partner's
partnership interests;
- the merger amendment for that partnership authorizing:
- the merger of the partnership with and into Pioneer USA, with Pioneer
USA being the surviving entity;
- the elimination of any restrictions on the merger otherwise contained
in the partnership's partnership agreement; and
- the opinion of special legal counsel for the limited partners and the
selection of that counsel.
For each partnership, approval of the merger proposals requires the
affirmative vote of limited partners who own or have the power to vote a
majority, or 66 2/3% for Parker & Parsley 91-A, L.P. and Parker & Parsley 91-B,
L.P., of the limited partnership interests in that partnership. The effect of an
abstention or a failure to vote is the same as a vote against the merger
proposals. See "The Special Meetings -- Record Date; Voting Rights and Proxies."
Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger of each partnership as
described in the proxy statement/prospectus under "The Merger Agreement," if the
merger proposals are approved by a partnership, that participating partnership
will merge with and into Pioneer USA, with Pioneer USA being the surviving
entity. From and after the closing of the merger of each participating
partnership, the partnership interests of the partners in that partnership will
represent the right to receive an amount of Pioneer Parent common stock as
described in the proxy statement/prospectus.
Generally, the partnership agreement of each partnership requires that
special legal counsel for the limited partners, acceptable to the partnership,
deliver a legal opinion, acceptable to the partnership, that (1) neither the
grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the partnership by
its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax classification
of the partnership or any of its limited partners and (2) neither the grant nor
exercise of such right will result in the loss of any limited partner's limited
liability. Stradley Ronon Stevens & Young, LLP of Wilmington, Delaware, (relying
as to matters of Texas law on the opinion of Arter & Hadden LLP 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 for the limited purpose of rendering that opinion. See "The
Merger of Each Partnership -- Legal Opinion for Limited Partners."

Dated September 20, 2001 and
Listed on Schedules A-1 and A-2 Hereto,
On Behalf of the Limited Partners
RE:Amendment to Limited Partnership Agreement; Merger with
Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
As special legal counsel for the limited partners (the "Limited Partners")
of each of the limited partnerships listed on Schedule A-1 hereto (the "Texas
Limited Partnerships") and on Schedule A-2 hereto (the "Delaware Limited
Partnerships" and together with the Texas Limited Partnerships, each Texas
Limited Partnership and Delaware Limited Partnership, individually, a "Limited
Partnership" and collectively, the "Limited Partnerships"), we have been asked
to render certain opinions of law in connection with the proposed amendment
("Amendment") to each Partnership Agreement (as defined below) and proposed
merger ("Merger") of each Limited Partnership with and into Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Pioneer USA") pursuant to that
certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of September 20, 2001 (the "Merger
Agreement") among Pioneer Natural Resources Company, a Delaware corporation
("Pioneer Parent"), Pioneer USA and each Limited Partnership. These opinions are
issued in connection with the proxy statement/prospectus forming a part of
Pioneer Parent's registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-59094) (the
"Registration Statement") relating to the registration of the issuance of its
shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, in connection with the merger
of each of the Limited Partnerships with and into Pioneer USA and related
transactions. We note that our representation is limited solely to the issues
that are the subject of opinions 1 and 2 set forth herein.
For purposes of giving the opinions hereinafter set forth, our examination
of documents has been limited to the examination of executed or conformed
counterparts, or copies otherwise proved to our satisfaction, of the following:
(a) Copies of the Agreement of Limited Partnership (and any amendment
thereto) of each of the Limited Partnerships in the form as attached to the
General Partner's Certificate (as defined below) (each, as amended, a
"Partnership Agreement");
(b) Certified copies of the Certificate of Limited Partnership of each
of the Delaware Limited Partnerships as filed in the Office of the
Secretary of State of the State of Delaware;

(d) Appendix E to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus forming part of the

Partners of each Limited Partnership of (i) the Merger of such Limited
Partnership, as provided in the Merger Agreement and (ii) the amendments to
each Partnership Agreement to authorize the Merger of such Limited
Partnership (collectively, the "Merger Proposals"); and
(e) Appendix F to the Proxy Statement/Prospectus forming part of the
Registration Statement, containing the Merger Agreement.
For purposes of giving the opinions hereinafter set forth, we have not
reviewed any documents, or any documents referred to or incorporated by
reference in the documents we reviewed, other than the documents listed above.
We assume that there are no agreements, understandings or usage of trade or
course of prior dealing among the parties that would qualify the documents
reviewed. We have conducted no independent factual investigation of our own but
rather have relied solely upon the foregoing documents, the statements and
information set forth therein, and the additional matters recited or assumed
herein, all of which we assume to be true, complete and accurate in all material
respects.
With respect to all documents examined by us, we have assumed (i) that all
signatures on such documents are genuine, (ii) that all documents submitted to
us as originals are authentic, (iii) that all documents submitted to us as
copies conform with the original copies of those documents, and (iv) the legal
capacity of natural persons.
For purposes of the opinions expressed herein, we have also assumed, with
respect to each of the Limited Partnerships, (i) that such Limited Partnership's
Partnership Agreement in the form attached to the General Partner's Certificate
constitutes the entire agreement among the parties thereto with respect to the
subject matter thereof, and that such Partnership Agreement is in full force and
effect; (ii) the due authorization, execution and delivery of such Limited
Partnership's Partnership Agreement by each of the parties thereto; (iii) that
such Limited Partnership's Certificate of Limited Partnership was duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the General Partner of such Limited
Partnership and duly filed with the appropriate Secretary of State; (iv) that
the representations and warranties of the parties to such Limited Partnership's
Partnership Agreement are true and correct; (v) that such Limited Partnership is
validly existing and no event of dissolution has occurred with respect to such
Limited Partnership and no event of withdrawal from such Limited Partnership by
the General Partner of such Limited Partnership has occurred; and(vi) that all
acts necessary to be performed by each Partner of such Limited Partnership for
its admission to the Limited Partnership have been done in accordance with such
Limited Partnership's Partnership Agreement; and (vii) that the proposed
Amendment to such Limited Partnership's Partnership Agreement will be approved
by the limited partners of such Limited Partnership at the time of or before the
vote by the limited partners of such Limited Partnership on the proposed Merger.
This opinion is limited to the application of (i) the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), final regulations incorporated in Treasury
Decisions issued under the Code ("Regulations"), rulings or procedures the
Internal Revenue Service has issued, and court decisions interpreting the Code,
Regulations, or administrative pronouncements, all of which as issued and
effective on September 20, 2001, and which we deemed material to this opinion,
and (ii) with respect to the Delaware Limited Partnerships, applicable Delaware
law, including the Delaware Revised Uniform Partnership Act, 6 Del. C. Ch. 15,
and the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, 6 Del. C. Ch. 17 (the
"LP Act") (but excluding the securities law and environmental laws of the State
of Delaware) to the matters set forth below which, in our experience, are the
laws of the State of Delaware normally applicable to such matters and (iii) with
respect to the Texas Limited Partnerships, Texas law, provided that with respect
to matters of Texas law we have relied entirely upon the opinion of the firm of
Arter & Hadden addressed to us and dated of even date herewith in the form
attached hereto (the "Texas Opinion"). We have not been requested to and do not
opine as to the applicability of the laws of any other jurisdiction. In
rendering the opinions set forth herein, we have not reviewed and express no
opinion as to the operation or effect of any laws, rules or regulations
applicable to the assets owned by each of the Limited Partnerships.
This opinion letter speaks only as of the date hereof and we do not
undertake to update the opinions expressed herein for any change in law or fact
that may occur after such date.
Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications,
limitations and exceptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:
1. Neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve or
disapprove (i) an amendment to the Partnership Agreement of a Limited
Partnership or (ii) the merger of such Limited Partnership with and into
Pioneer USA, as provided in the Merger Agreement, in each case as set forth
in the Merger Proposals, by the Limited Partners of such Limited
Partnership will adversely affect the federal income tax classification of
such Limited Partnership or any of its Limited Partners; and
E-6

2. Neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve or
disapprove (i) an amendment to the Partnership Agreement of a Limited
Partnership or (ii) the merger of such Limited Partnership with and into
Pioneer USA, as provided in the Merger Agreement, in each case as set forth
in the Merger Proposals, by the Limited Partners of such Limited
Partnership will result in the loss of any Limited Partner's limited
liability by virtue of such grant or exercise.
The foregoing opinions are subject to the following additional exceptions
and qualifications:
(A) We express no opinion with respect to the limited liability of any
Limited Partner who is, was or may become a General Partner of a Limited
Partnership or a general partner of a named General Partner.

Partnerships, we note that the Texas Opinion is subject to the assumptions,

hereof be delivered, distributed, published, quoted or otherwise communicated to
any other person without our prior written consent. We hereby consent to the

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.
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
F-2
174
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 mailed on July 13, 2001, by the Partnership to its partners. The
merger value for each Partnership will not be adjusted as of the Closing Date.
The number of shares of Pioneer Parent Common Stock to be issued for each
partnership interest of each Partnership will be based on (i) the Partnership's
merger value divided by (ii) the average closing price of the Pioneer Parent
Common Stock, as reported by the New York Stock Exchange, for the ten trading
days ending three business days before the initial date scheduled for the
special meeting for the Partnership. For purposes of illustration in the Proxy
Statement/Prospectus, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA shall calculate 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.
(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.

175
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 3, or

1.4 Effective Time of Merger of Each Partnership. Upon satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in Article 3 hereof and as soon as practicable after

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

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

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, 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.

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.

counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which
together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
6.7 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Merger Agreement

accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (regardless of the laws that

shall pay all estimated expenses and fees of such Partnership incurred in
connection with the merger of such Partnership before such termination or
abandonment.
6.14 Liquidation. Each Partnership, Pioneer Parent and Pioneer USA intend
and agree that the merger of each Partnership shall be treated as a liquidation
of the Partnership into Pioneer USA pursuant to Section 332 of the Internal

Ordinary Tax Loss per $1,000 Limited Partner Investment in Year of Initial Investment(c), (f) $ 320
----------
(a) Stated in thousands.
(b) The merger value for the partnership is equal to the sum of the present
value of estimated future net revenues from the partnership's estimated
oil and gas reserves and its net working capital, in each case as of
March 31, 2001, less its pro rata share, based on its reserve value, of
the estimated expenses and fees of the mergers of all of the
partnerships and less the cash distribution on July 13, 2001, by the
partnership to its partners.
(c) Interests in some partnerships were sold in units at prices other than
$1,000. We have presented this information based on a $1,000 initial
investment for ease of use and comparison among partnerships. You
should not assume that the amount shown per $1,000 investment is the
same as the value or amount attributable to a single unit investment.
(d) The going concern value for the partnership is based upon: (1) the sum
of (A) the estimated net cash flow from the sale of the partnership's
reserves during a 10-year operating period and (B) the estimated
residual value from the sale of the partnership's remaining reserves at
the end of the operating period, in each case using the same pricing
and discount rate as in the merger value calculation, less (2)(A)
partnership level general and administrative expenses, and (B) the cash
distribution on July 13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners.
(e) The liquidation value for the partnership is based upon the sale of the
partnership's reserves at the reserve value, less (1) liquidation
expenses which are estimated to be the sum of (A) the partnership's pro
rata share of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b)
above and (B) 3% of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash
distribution on July 13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The
liquidation expenses represent the estimated costs to retain an
investment banker or broker to sell the assets of the partnership and
the legal and other closing costs associated with such transaction,
including the wind-down costs of the partnership.
(f) Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss
to offset your other income may have been subject to certain
limitations at your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to
consult your tax advisor to determine the additional value, if any,
actually realized by you in your particular circumstances.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS
The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special
legal counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA
that (1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger
of the partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal
income tax classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and
(2) neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained Stradley Ronon Stevens &
Young, LLP of Wilmington, Delaware, and Arter & Hadden LLP of Dallas, Texas (as
to matters of Texas law) 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.

PARKER & PARSLEY 81-I, LTD.
(A Texas Limited Partnership)
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal
recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily
indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been
made to the June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 2001
financial statement presentations.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted in these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (1)
Results of Operations
Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended
June 30, 2000
Revenues:
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 11% to $211,753 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $191,199 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 4,203 barrels
of oil, 2,165 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 12,725 mcf of gas were
sold, or 8,489 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June
30, 2000, 4,524 barrels of oil, 2,512 barrels of NGLs and 12,333 mcf of gas were
sold, or 9,092 BOEs.
The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.40, or 1%, from $27.49
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.89 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.43, or 10%, from
$13.83 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.26 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 86% from $2.60
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $4.83 for the same period in 2001.
The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade
and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the
foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas
production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the six
months ended June 30, 2001.
6
193
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses increased to $97,903 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $95,493 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $2,410,
or 3%. This increase was due to increases in general and administrative expenses
("G&A"), production costs and depletion.
Production costs were $85,961 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and $85,156
for the same period in 2000 resulting in an $805 increase, or 1%. The increase
was due to increased production taxes due to higher oil and gas prices, offset
by less well maintenance costs.
G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
20% from $6,652 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $7,966 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.
Depletion was $3,976 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$3,685 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $291, or 8%. This increase
was the result of a decline in proved reserves during the period ended June 30,
2001 due to lower commodity prices, offset by a decline in oil production of 321
barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in
2000.
Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000
Revenues:
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 7% to $103,562 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $97,018 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received for gas
and NGLs and an increase in production, offset by a decline in the average price
received for oil. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 2,046 barrels of
oil, 1,395 barrels of NGLs and 7,163 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,635 BOEs. For
the three months ended June 30, 2000, 2,122 barrels of oil, 1,295 barrels of
NGLs and 6,231 mcf of gas were sold, or 4,456 BOEs.
The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.67, or 2%, from $27.86
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.19 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $1.32, or
10%, from $13.13 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $14.45 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 16% to
$3.88 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $3.35 during the same
period in 2000.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses decreased to $46,191 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $50,288 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of
$4,097, or 8%. This decrease was due to declines in production costs and G&A,
offset by an increase in depletion.
Production costs were $40,997 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$44,490 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $3,493 decrease, or 8%. The
decrease was due to less well maintenance costs.
During this period, G&A decreased 17%, from $3,731 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $3,109 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to lower
audit and tax expenses.
Depletion was $2,085 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$2,067 for the same period in 2000, an increase of $18.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $43,482 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $20,634 and a
reduction in working capital of $24,967, offset by an increase in production
costs of $805 and G&A expenses of $1,314. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an
additional $32,905 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $12,271 resulting from the
decline in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
associated with higher oil and gas prices, offset by less well maintenance
costs. The increase in G&A was primarily due to a higher percentage of the
managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas
revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit
and tax fees.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
The Partnership's investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2001
and 2000 were for expenditures related to equipment upgrades on various oil and
gas properties.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$68,431, of which $17,222 was distributed to the general partners and $51,209 to
the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $96,204, of which $23,868 was distributed to
the general partners and $72,336 to the limited partners.
For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.
Proposal to acquire partnerships
On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.
Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.
The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
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.

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
202
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
203
in the industry. As a result, the Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment
provision of $50,343 related to its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.
NOTE 4. INCOME TAXES
The financial statement basis of the Partnership's net assets and
liabilities was $308,345 less than the tax basis at December 31, 2000.

NOTE 7. OIL AND GAS INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)
The following table presents information relating to the Partnership's
estimated proved oil and gas reserves at December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998 and
changes in such quantities during the years then ended. All of the Partnership's
reserves are proved developed and located within the United States. The
Partnership's reserves are based on an evaluation prepared by Williamson
Petroleum Consultants, Inc., an independent petroleum consultant, using criteria
established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

======== ========
As of December 31, 2000, the estimated present value of future net
revenues of proved reserves, calculated using December 31, 2000 prices of $26.64
per barrel of oil, $13.30 per barrel of NGLs and $7.65 per mcf of gas,
discounted at 10% was approximately $1,915,000 and undiscounted was $3,748,000.
Numerous uncertainties exist in estimating quantities of proved reserves
and future net revenues therefrom. The estimates of proved reserves and related
future net revenues set forth in this Report are based on various assumptions,
which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Therefore, such estimates should
not be construed as estimates of the current market value of the Partnership's
proved reserves. The Partnership emphasizes that reserve estimates are
inherently imprecise and, accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as
future information becomes available.
Disclosures about Oil & Gas Producing Activities
Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows
The standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows is computed
by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration of price changes
only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the estimated future
production of proved oil and gas reserves less estimated future expenditures
(based on year-end costs) to be incurred in developing and producing the proved
reserves, discounted using a rate of 10% per year to reflect the estimated
timing of the future cash flows. A Federal income tax provision has not been
calculated as the income of the Partnership is included in the individual
Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.
Discounted future cash flow estimates like those shown below are not
intended to represent estimates of the fair value of oil and gas properties.
Estimates of fair value should also consider anticipated future oil and gas
prices, interest rates, changes in development and production costs and risks
associated with future production. Because of these and other considerations,
any estimate of fair value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

NOTE 9. PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT
The following is a brief summary of the more significant provisions of
the limited partnership agreement:
General partners - The general partners of the Partnership are Pioneer
USA and EMPL. Pioneer USA, the managing general partner, has the power
and authority to manage, control and administer all Partnership affairs.
As managing general partner and operator of the Partnership's
properties, all production expenses are incurred by Pioneer USA and
billed to the Partnership. The majority of the Partnership's oil and gas
revenues are received directly by the Partnership, however, a portion of
the oil and gas revenue is initially received by Pioneer USA prior to
being paid to the Partnership.
Limited partner liability - The maximum amount of liability of any
limited partner is the total contributions of such partner plus his
share of any undistributed profits.
Initial capital contributions - The limited partners entered into
subscription agreements for aggregate capital contributions of
$7,410,000. The general partners are required to contribute amounts
equal to 10% of Partnership expenditures for lease acquisition, drilling
and completion and 25% of direct, general and administrative and
operating expenses.

(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.
209
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.
210
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.

of the merger expenses and fees described in footnote (b) above and (B) 3%
of the partnership's reserve value, and (2) the cash distribution on July
13, 2001 by the partnership to its partners. The liquidation expenses
represent the estimated costs to retain an investment banker or broker to
sell the assets of the partnership and the legal and other closing costs
associated with such transaction, including the wind-down costs of the
partnership.
(f) Your ability to use your distributive share of the partnership's loss to
offset your other income may have been subject to certain limitations at
your level as a partner, and you may therefore wish to consult your tax
advisor to determine the additional value, if any, actually realized by you
in your particular circumstances.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE LEGAL OPINION FOR THE LIMITED PARTNERS
The partnership agreement for the partnership requires that special legal
counsel render an opinion on behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA that
(1) neither the grant nor the exercise of the right to approve the merger of the
partnership by its limited partners will adversely affect the federal income tax
status or classification of the partnership or any of its limited partners; and
(2) neither the grant nor exercise of such right will result in the loss of any
limited partner's limited liability. In addition, the counsel designated to
render the opinion must be counsel other than counsel to Pioneer USA or the
partnership. Both the designated counsel and the legal opinion must be approved
by the limited partners. Pioneer USA has retained Stradley Ronon Stevens &
Young, LLP of Wilmington, Delaware, and Arter & Hadden LLP of Dallas, Texas (as
to matters of Texas law) for the purpose of rendering this legal opinion on
behalf of the limited partners to Pioneer USA. The merger proposals include an
approval of that counsel and the form of its opinion. A copy of the opinion is
attached as an exhibit to the merger proposals.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE TERM OF THE PARTNERSHIP
The term of the partnership shall continue until terminated in accordance
with the applicable provisions of its partnership agreement.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 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 June 30, 2001 and for the three and six months ended June 30,
2001 and 2000 include all adjustments and accruals consisting only of normal
recurring accrual adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the
results for the interim period. These interim results are not necessarily
indicative of results for a full year. Certain reclassifications may have been
made to the June 30, 2000 financial statements to conform to the June 30, 2001
financial statement presentations.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted in these interim financial statements. The
financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
and the notes thereto contained in the Partnership's report for the year ended
December 31, 2000, a copy of which is available upon request by writing to Rich
Dealy, Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer, 5205 North O'Connor
Boulevard, Suite 1400, Irving, Texas 75039-3746.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations (1)
Results of Operations
Six months ended June 30, 2001 compared with six months ended June 30, 2000
Revenues:
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues increased 14% to $199,000 for the six
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $174,048 for the same period in 2000.
The increase in revenues resulted from higher average prices received, offset by
a decrease in production. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, 4,136 barrels
6
220
of oil, 1,400 barrels of natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and 11,975 mcf of gas were
sold, or 7,532 barrel of oil equivalents ("BOEs"). For the six months ended June
30, 2000, 4,547 barrels of oil, 2,406 barrels of NGLs and 6,862 mcf of gas were
sold, or 8,097 BOEs.
The average price received per barrel of oil increased $.17, or 1%, from $27.24
for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $27.41 for the same period in 2001.
The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $3.03, or 21%, from
$14.40 during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $17.43 for the same period
in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 127% from $2.26
during the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $5.12 for the same period in 2001.
The market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade
and management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the
foreseeable future. The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas
production at average prices lower or higher than that received during the six
months ended June 30, 2001.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses decreased to $128,802 for the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $131,843 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $3,041,
or 2%. This decrease was due to a decline in depletion, offset by increases in
general and administrative expenses ("G&A") and production costs.
Production costs were $100,899 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and
$99,416 for the same period in 2000 resulting in a $1,483 increase, or 1%. The
increase was due to higher production taxes due to higher oil and gas prices and
additional well maintenance costs incurred to stimulate well production.
G&A's components are independent accounting and engineering fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A increased
28% from $5,610 for the six months ended June 30, 2000 to $7,177 for the same
period in 2001, primarily due to a higher allocation of the managing general
partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a
result of increased oil and gas revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.
Depletion was $20,726 for the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$26,817 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $6,091, or 23%. This decrease
was the result of a decline in oil production of 411 barrels for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.
Three months ended June 30, 2001 compared with three months ended June 30, 2000
Revenues:
The Partnership's oil and gas revenues decreased 13% to $90,934 for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $104,047 for the same period in 2000.
The decrease in revenues resulted from lower average prices received for oil and
7
221
a decrease in production, offset by higher average prices received for gas and
NGLs. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, 1,967 barrels of oil, 865
barrels of NGLs and 6,244 mcf of gas were sold, or 3,873 BOEs. For the three
months ended June 30, 2000, 2,495 barrels of oil, 1,721 barrels of NGLs and
5,373 mcf of gas were sold, or 5,112 BOEs.
The average price received per barrel of oil decreased $.25, or 1%, from $27.16
for the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $26.91 for the three months ended
June 30, 2001. The average price received per barrel of NGLs increased $2.13, or
16%, from $13.15 during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $15.28 for the
same period in 2001. The average price received per mcf of gas increased 56% to
$3.97 during the three months ended June 30, 2001 from $2.54 during the same
period in 2000.
Costs and Expenses:
Total costs and expenses decreased to $62,850 for the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to $69,367 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of
$6,517, or 9%. This decrease was due to declines in depletion, production costs
and G&A.
Production costs were $50,059 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 and
$50,877 for the same period in 2000 resulting in an $818 decrease, or 2%. The
decrease was due to lower well maintenance costs.
During this period, G&A decreased 20%, from $3,420 for the three months ended
June 30, 2000 to $2,729 for the same period in 2001, primarily due to a lower
allocation of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated (limited to 3%
of oil and gas revenues) as a result of decreased oil and gas revenues and a
decrease in audit and tax fees.
Depletion was $10,062 for the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to
$15,070 for the same period in 2000, a decrease of $5,008, or 33%. This decrease
was the result of a decline in oil production of 528 barrels for the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $67,440 during the six
months ended June 30, 2001 from the same period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase was due to an increase in oil and gas sales receipts of $25,404 and a
reduction in working capital of $45,086, offset by increases in production costs
of $1,483 and G&A expenses of $1,567. The increase in oil and gas receipts
resulted from the increase in commodity prices during 2001 which contributed an
additional $27,593 to oil and gas receipts, offset by $2,189 resulting from the
decline in production during 2001 as compared to the same period in 2000. The
increase in production costs was primarily due to increased production taxes
8
222
associated with higher oil and gas prices and additional well maintenance costs
incurred to stimulate well production. The increase in G&A was primarily due to
a higher percentage of the managing general partner's G&A being allocated
(limited to 3% of oil and gas revenues) as a result of increased oil and gas
revenues and an increase in audit and tax fees.
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2001 and 2000, the Partnership's investing
activities included expenditures related to equipment upgrades on various oil
and gas properties.
Net Cash Used in Financing Activities
For the six months ended June 30, 2001, cash distributions to the partners were
$59,505, of which $15,215 was distributed to the general partners and $44,290 to
the limited partners. For the same period ended June 30, 2000, cash
distributions to the partners were $42,093, of which $9,905 was distributed to
the general partners and $32,188 to the limited partners.
For the three months ended June 30, 2001, no distributions were made by the
partnership to its partners. Subsequent to June 30, 2001 the cash distribution
that otherwise would have been mailed to partners in late June was made to
holders of record as of July 9, 2001 and was mailed on July 13, 2001. For
further information, see "Proposal to acquire partnerships" below.
Proposal to acquire partnerships
On June 29, 2001, Pioneer Natural Resources Company ("Pioneer") filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission Amendment No. 1 to the Form S-4 Registration
Statement (File No. 333- 59094) (the "preliminary proxy statement/prospectus"),
which proposes an agreement and plan of merger among Pioneer, Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pioneer, and
46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships. Each partnership that approves the
agreement and plan of merger and the other related merger proposals will merge
with and into Pioneer USA upon the closing of the transactions described in the
preliminary proxy statement/prospectus, and the partnership interests of each
such partnership will be converted into the right to receive Pioneer common
stock. The Partnership is one of the 46 Parker & Parsley limited partnerships
that will be asked to approve the agreement and plan of merger. The preliminary
proxy statement/prospectus is non-binding and is subject to, among other things,
consideration of offers from third parties to purchase any partnership or its
assets and the majority approval of the limited partnership interests in each
partnership.
Pioneer USA will solicit proxies from limited partners to approve the mergers
only when the proxy statement/prospectus is final and declared effective. No
solicitation will be made using preliminary materials. Nonetheless, copies of
the preliminary proxy statement/prospectus may be obtained without charge upon
request from Pioneer Natural Resources Company, 5205 North O'Connor Blvd., Suite
1400, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Investor Relations.
The limited partners are urged to read the proxy statement/prospectus of Pioneer
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, when it is finalized, because
it contains important information about the proposed mergers, including
information about the direct and indirect interests of Pioneer USA and Pioneer
9
223
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.

PARKER & PARSLEY 81-II, 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-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
231
Net income (loss) per limited partnership interest - The net income (loss)
per limited partnership interest is calculated by using the number of
outstanding limited partnership interests.
Income taxes - A Federal income tax provision has not been included in the
financial statements as the income of the Partnership is included in the
individual Federal income tax returns of the respective partners.
Statements of cash flows - For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash
includes depository accounts held by banks.
General and administrative expenses - General and administrative expenses
are allocated in part to the Partnership by the managing general partner.
Allocated expenses are determined by the managing general partner based upon the
level of activity of the Partnership relative to the non-partnership activities
of the managing general partner. The method of allocation has been consistent
over the past several years with certain modifications incorporated to reflect
changes in Pioneer USA's overall business activities.
Reclassifications - Certain reclassifications may have been made to the
1999 and 1998 financial statements to conform to the 2000 financial statement
presentations.
Environmental - The Partnership is subject to extensive federal, state and
local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly
changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may
require the Partnership to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the
disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites.
Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future
economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by
past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed.
Liabilities for expenditures of a noncapital nature are recorded when
environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be
reasonably estimated. Such liabilities are generally undiscounted unless the
timing of cash payments for the liability or component are fixed or reliably
determinable. No such liabilities have been accrued as of December 31, 2000.
Revenue recognition - The Partnership uses the entitlements method of
accounting for oil, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and natural gas revenues.
NOTE 3. IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS
In accordance with SFAS 121, the Partnership reviews its proved oil and gas
properties for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate a decline
in the recoverability of the carrying value of the Partnership's oil and gas
properties. The Partnership has estimated the expected future cash flows of its
oil and gas properties as of December 31, 2000, 1999 and 1998, based on proved
reserves, and compared such estimated future cash flows to the respective
carrying amount of the oil and gas properties to determine if the carrying
amounts were likely to be recoverable. For those proved oil and gas properties
for which the carrying amount exceeded the estimated future cash flows, an
impairment was determined to exist; therefore, the Partnership adjusted the
carrying amount of those oil and gas properties to their fair value as
determined by discounting their expected future cash flows at a discount rate
commensurate with the risks involved

in the industry. As a result, the Partnership recognized a non-cash impairment
provision of $30,131 related to its proved oil and gas properties during 1998.

NOTE 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.

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.

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.

(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.
238
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.
239
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.
