              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             MARCH 31, 2000 AND 1999

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes of Prize Energy
Corp. ("Prize") thereto have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations
of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying consolidated
financial statements and notes should be read in conjunction with the
consolidated financial statements and notes included in Prize's 1999 annual
report on Form 10-K.

In the opinion of Prize's management, all adjustments (all of which are normal
and recurring) have been made which are necessary to fairly state the
consolidated financial position of Prize and its subsidiaries as of March 31,
2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the three
month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999.

BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Prize was formed on January 15, 1999 (inception) and is a Delaware corporation
engaged in the acquisition, development and production of proved oil and gas
properties. The Company's corporate headquarters is located in Grapevine, Texas
with oil and gas producing properties primarily located in Texas, Oklahoma, New
Mexico and Louisiana.

The Company was initially formed through the contribution of cash and a minority
investment in a limited liability company for the purpose of acquiring oil and
gas properties. Pursuant to the terms of a Purchase and Sale Agreement (Purchase
Agreement) dated May 16, 1999, on June 29, 1999 the Company completed the
acquisition of interests in certain oil and gas producing properties, primarily
located in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma from affiliates of Pioneer Natural
Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer") for a total purchase price of $242 million,
including transaction costs, paid in cash and 6% convertible voting preferred
stock. Prior to June 29, 1999, the Company had no significant oil and gas
operations.

Subsequent to the purchase from Pioneer and effective July 1, 1999, Prize sold a
group of mineral interests for $32 million, which were acquired with the oil and
gas properties purchased from Pioneer. The properties were located outside
Prize's principal operating areas of Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Louisiana.
Accordingly, the properties were assigned a value of $32 million when purchased,
and no gain or loss was recognized on disposal.

At inception, certain stockholders contributed a minority investment in a
limited liability company, Sunterra Petroleum LLC ("Sunterra"). Subsequently,
the Company purchased the remaining interest in Sunterra in exchange for
$750,000 cash, a gas plant and the assumption of Sunterra's debt. The total
consideration paid for Sunterra during the year was $6,378,826, plus the assumed
debt of $1,607,791.

DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION AND AMORTIZATION

Amortization per equivalent barrel of the Company's U.S. oil and gas properties
for the three months ended March 31, 2000 was $3.18. The Company had no oil and
gas operations during the first quarter of 1999.

INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes are provided on transactions which are recognized in
different periods for financial and tax reporting purposes. Such temporary
differences arise primarily from the deduction of certain oil and gas
exploration and development costs which are capitalized for financial reporting
purposes and differences in the methods of depreciation. The Company follows the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 when
calculating the deferred income tax provision for financial purposes.

2. VISTA ACQUISITION

On February 8, 2000, the Company merged with Vista Energy Resources, Inc.
("Vista"), an independent oil and gas development and production company. Though
the Company's stockholders exchanged their shares for new shares of Vista, the
stockholders of the Company have an 84% controlling interest in the merged
company, and the Company is treated as having acquired Vista. The transaction
was accounted for as a purchase of Vista by the Company in accordance with the
provisions of APB 16. The merged Company's stock is listed on the American Stock
Exchange under the ticker symbol "PRZ".

Under the terms of the merger, Prize stockholders effectively exchanged 16% of
their interest in Prize for an 84% interest in Vista. Prior to the merger, Prize
was a private company with no readily determinable market value. Thus, in order
to determine the purchase price paid by Prize, Prize management estimated the
fair value of the 16% interest of Prize exchanged for the 84% interest in Vista
based on the estimated fair value of Prize's oil and gas assets, its debt and
other assets and liabilities as of February 8, 2000. The preliminary purchase
price is $86.6 million, including liabilities assumed of $61.4 million. The
purchase price was assigned to the assets of Vista based on their fair value,
resulting in current and other assets of $5.0 million, oil and gas properties of
$111.4 million, current liabilities of $12.7 million, debt of $53.7 million, and
deferred taxes of $24.8 million.

Purchase price adjustments include the recognition of severance for the
executive officers of Vista, derecognition of Vista's deferred financing costs,
the accrual of Vista's hedge position at its fair value and adjustments to the
basis of oil and gas properties as well as the related deferred taxes as a
result of the merger. The increase to deferred taxes was principally due to the
increase in the carrying value of Vista's oil and gas properties as a result of
the purchase compared to the tax basis which is not increased as a result of the
purchase. There are no identifiable intangible assets related to the purchase.
Accordingly, all of the purchase price has been allocated to the tangible assets
and liabilities.

3. CREDIT FACILITIES

On February 8, 2000, in connection with the merger agreement with Vista Energy
Resources, Inc., the Company amended its Senior Facility to provide for total
borrowings of up to $400




                                       10

<PAGE>   11


million. The amended Senior Facility is due June 29, 2009. The revised Senior
Facility provides for letters of credit in addition to a revolving credit
facility. The Company may request letters of credit in addition to a revolving
credit facility up to an aggregate of $5 million with an additional supplemental
letter of credit (as defined by the credit agreement) of $5 million. At March
31, 2000, $2.5 million was outstanding under the letter of credit provisions of
the facility. The revolver converts to a term loan on June 29, 2002, with
quarterly principal payments after that date through June 29, 2009. Interest is
due quarterly at either the bank's prime rate or eurodollar rate plus a margin
as defined in the agreement. The Company assumed $54 million of debt when it
purchased Vista. At March 31, 2000, $211.4 million was outstanding. The bank
credit facility has various restrictions including a limit on incurred debt and
asset dispositions. The Company is required to maintain certain financial and
non-financial covenants including minimum current and interest coverage ratios.
Borrowings under the credit facility are secured by substantially all of the
Company's assets.

4. PREFERRED STOCK

On March 28, 2000, Prize entered into agreement with Pioneer to acquire
1,346,482 shares of Prize common stock for approximately $18.4 million. Prior to
the acquisition, Pioneer agreed to convert all convertible preferred stock to
common stock, resign the two board seats held by Pioneer, and cancel the
exploration and participation agreement associated with the convertible
preferred stock. Subsequently, Pioneer will own approximately 2.6 million shares
of common stock. The transaction was effective March 31, 2000 and was funded
through the Company's Senior Credit Facility.

                  ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion addresses material changes in results of operations for
the three months ended March 31, 2000, compared to the three months ended March
31, 1999, and in financial condition since December 31, 1999. It is presumed
that readers have read or have access to Prize's 1999 annual report on Form
10-K.

OVERVIEW

On February 8, 2000, Prize completed the reverse merger with Vista. Vista's
properties are primarily located in the Company's core operating area of the
Permian Basin of West Texas. The combination of Vista with Prize expanded
Prize's reserves approximately 20 MMBoe, or 27%, and added to the Company's
inventory of exploitation inventory. The Vista transaction is accounted for
under the "purchase" method of accounting. Under the purchase method of
accounting, Prize is the acquirer of Vista. Accordingly, the financial
statements of Prize for the three months ended March 31, 2000 includes two
months of the oil and gas operations of the Vista properties.

On March 28, 2000, Prize entered into agreement with Pioneer Natural Resources
to acquire 1,346,482 shares of Prize common stock for approximately $18.4
million. Prior to the acquisition, Pioneer agreed to convert all convertible
preferred stock to common stock, resign the two board seats held by Pioneer, and
cancel the exploration and participation agreement associated with the
convertible preferred stock. Subsequently, Pioneer will own approximately 2.6
million shares of common stock. The transaction was effective March 31, 2000 and
was funded through the Company's Senior Credit Facility.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2000, net income was $5.2 million or $.49 cents
per share. This compares to first quarter of 1999 net income of $ 26,108 or $.00
cents per share. The substantial increase in the first quarter net income is
directly attributable to the acquisition of producing oil and gas properties
from Pioneer Natural Resources (effective July 1, 1999) and the Vista
acquisition (effective February 8, 2000).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2000

REVENUES AND DIRECT OPERATING EXPENSES

As a result of Prize's limited operating history and rapid growth associated
with the Pioneer and Vista acquisitions, the consolidated financial statements
of Prize, which began operations on January 15, 1999, are not readily comparable
and are not indicative of future results. Consequently, Prize has based its
discussion of revenues and direct operating expenses upon the actual revenues
and direct operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 compared
to the pro forma revenues and direct operating expenses for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 adjusted for the minerals sale, Sunterra acquisition and
the Vista acquisition for February and March 1999 only.

</TABLE>

OIL/LIQUIDS REVENUES FOR 2000 COMPARED TO 1999. Oil/liquids revenues increased
$7.5 million or 92% in 2000. The increase in Oil/liquids revenues is directly
due to the $9.71 per barrel increase in realized price for 2000, while
Oil/liquids production remained constant.

GAS REVENUES FOR 2000 COMPARED TO 1999. Gas revenues increased $3.7 million or
39% in 2000. As a result of lower gas production in the amount of 418 MMcf, gas
revenues decreased by $.7 million. This decrease was offset by a price increase
of $.79 per Mcf or 49% which added $4.4 million in gas revenues.

PRODUCTION AND OPERATING EXPENSE. Listed below are the changes in production and
operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000:

</TABLE>

Recurring operations and maintenance expenses increased $1.2 million, or 28%,
in the first quarter of 2000. Well workover expense increased $1.7 million in
the first quarter of 2000. Both the significant increases in recurring
operations and maintenance expense and well workover expense are due to
additional expenditures needed to upgrade properties into acceptable working
condition resulting from the lack of focused attention of the operators prior to
acquisition.

Production taxes increased $1.1 million or 64% in the first quarter of 2000.
This increase was caused by the significant increases in oil and gas prices
occurring over the past twelve months.

DEPRECIATION, DEPLETION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSES (DD&A). DD&A Expense in the
quarter ended March 31, 2000 was $5.5 million. On a Boe basis, the DD&A rate was
$3.18, slightly lower than the pro forma rate of $3.27 in 1999.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (G&A). G&A expense in the quarter ended
March 31, 2000 was $1.6 million. On a Boe basis, the G&A rate was $.97, a
decrease of 18% compared to the pro forma rate of $1.18 in 1999. The decrease
in the 2000 G&A rate is directly attributable to the actual economies of scale
achieved in the merger with Vista and the absence of non- recurring G&A expenses
associated with Prize's start up in 1999.

INTEREST EXPENSE. Interest expense in the quarter ended March 31, 2000 was $3.5
million. The average rate on the debt outstanding was 8.23% for the first
quarter compared to the pro forma rate of 8.27% in 1999.

INCOME TAXES. Income tax expense is based upon the estimated effective income
tax rate that is expected for the entire fiscal year. The estimated effective
tax rate in the first quarter of 2000 was 37%.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES, CAPITAL RESOURCES, AND LIQUIDITY

The following discussion of capital expenditures, capital resources and
liquidity should be read in conjunction with the consolidated statements of cash
flows included in Part 1, Item 1 elsewhere herein.



                                       15

<PAGE>   16

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. Approximately $9.5 million was spent in the first quarter
of 2000 for capital expenditures. This total includes $9.1 million for the
acquisition, drilling and development of oil and gas properties.

The timing of most of the Company's capital expenditures is discretionary with
no material long-term capital expenditure commitments. Consequently, the Company
has a significant degree of flexibility to adjust the level of such expenditures
as circumstances warrant. The Company uses internally generated cash flow to
fund capital expenditures other than significant acquisitions and anticipates
that its cash flow, net of debt service obligations, will be sufficient to fund
its planned 2000 capital expenditures of approximately $50 - $55 million.

The Company does not have a specific acquisition budget since the timing and
size of acquisitions are difficult to forecast. The Company is actively pursuing
additional acquisitions of oil and gas properties. In addition to internally
generated cash flow and advances under the Company's revolving credit facility,
the Company may seek additional sources of capital to fund any future
significant acquisitions.


CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY. On February 8, 2000, in connection with the
merger agreement with Vista, the Company amended its Senior Facility to provide
for total borrowings of $400 million. The amended Senior Facility is due June
29, 2009. As of March 31, 2000, the Company's borrowing base was $250 million
and Prize's outstanding net long-term debt was approximately $211 million.

Cash provided by operating activities ("operating cash flow") continued to be
the primary source of capital and liquidity in the first quarter of 2000.
Operating cash flow in the first quarter of 2000 was $6.3 million.

In addition to operating cash flow, Prize utilized its Senior Credit Facility
during the first quarter of 2000 to fund its capital expenditures and purchase
of treasury stock. Net borrowings against the Senior Credit Facility in the
first three months of 2000 were $28.8 million.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The information included in "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk" in Item 7A of Prize's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K is
incorporated herein by reference. Such information includes a description of
Prize's potential exposure to market risks, including commodity price risk and
interest rate risk. As a result of the increase in both oil and natural gas
prices, Prize's market risk relating to the fair market value exposure of hedges
is ($20.9) million as of March 31, 2000 compared to ($10.5) million as of
December 31, 1999.
