                               PRIZE ENERGY CORP.

              NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                             JUNE 30, 2000 AND 1999

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of Prize
Energy Corp. ("Prize" or, the "Company") have been prepared pursuant to the
rules and regulations thereto 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 June 30,
2000, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the three
month and six month periods ended June 30, 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 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.

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 acquired 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 $87.4 million, including liabilities assumed of $62.2 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
$112.2 million, current liabilities of $13.5 million, debt of $53.7 million, and
deferred taxes of $24.8 million. Additionally, $1.3 million of accrued interest
and bank fees were rolled into the debt principal as described below in "Note 3.
Credit Facilities".

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 with Vista, the Company
amended its Senior Facility to provide for total borrowings of up to $400
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 June 30,
2000, $2.5 million was outstanding


                                       10
<PAGE>   11

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 and $1.3 million of accrued interest and bank fees
when it purchased Vista. At June 30, 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 an 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 owned 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 and six months ended June 30, 2000 compared to the same periods in
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 and six months ended June 30, 2000 exclude the
oil and gas operations of Vista prior to February 8, 2000.

On March 28, 2000, Prize entered into an 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 owns 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 June 30, 2000, net income was $7.6 million or $.57 (basic)
per share. This compares to second quarter of 1999 net income of $83,275 or $.01
per share. For the six months ended June 30, 2000, net income was $12.7 million
or $1.07 (basic) per share. This compares to the six months ended June 30, 1999
net income of $109,383 or $.02 cents per share. The substantial increase in the
2000 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 THREE MONTHS AND SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 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
to the prior year 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 and six months ended
June 30, 2000 compared to the pro forma revenues and direct operating expenses
for the three and six months ended June 30, 1999 adjusted for the minerals sale,
Sunterra acquisition and the Vista acquisition for February through June 1999
only.

$7.8 million or 62% in the second quarter of 2000 compared to the same period in
1999. Production gains of 99,000 barrels, or 12% added $2.1 million of
Oil/liquids revenues in the 2000 period. In addition to the production
increases, Oil/liquids revenues increased $5.7 million as a result of the $6.69
per barrel, or 45%, price increase realized in the second quarter of 2000
compared to the same period in 1999.

</TABLE>

Recurring operations and maintenance expenses increased $847 thousand or 17%, in
the second quarter of 2000 and $2.0 million or 22% in the six months ended June
30, 2000. Well workover expense increased $1.5 million in the second quarter of
2000 and $3.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 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 their acquisition.

Production taxes increased $2.0 million or 102% and $3.0 million or 84% in the
three and six months ended June 30, 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 June 30, 2000 was $6.8 million. On a Boe basis, the average DD&A
rate was $3.49, $.34 higher than the pro forma rate of $3.15 in 1999. DD&A
expense in the six months ended June 30, 2000 was $12.3 million or $3.37 per
Boe, as compared to $3.22 per Boe for the prior year on a pro forma basis. The
DD&A rate was increased on the Vista properties during the second quarter of
2000 based on Prize's further evaluation of Vista's reserves.

GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (G&A). G&A expense in the quarter ended June
30, 2000 was $2.3 million. On a Boe basis, the G&A rate was $1.20, consistent
with the pro forma rate of $1.20 in 1999. G&A expense during the six months
ended June 30, 2000 was $4.0 million, or $1.09 per Boe produced. The decrease in
G&A cost per Boe 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 for the three and six months ended June 30,
2000 was $4.5 million and $8.0 million, respectively. The average rate on the
debt outstanding was 8.44% and 8.34% for the three and six months ended June 30,
2000 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 for 2000 is 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.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. Approximately $12.2 million was spent in the second
quarter of 2000 for capital expenditures bringing the 2000 year to date total to
$21.7 million. These totals include $11.5 million and $20.7 million for the
acquisition, drilling and development of oil and gas properties during the three
and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively.

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 June 30, 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 second quarter of 2000.
Operating cash flow for the three and six months ended June 30, 2000 was $11.9
million $18.2 million, respectively.

During the second quarter, Prize did not borrow or repay on the Senior Credit
Facility. Prize utilized its Senior Credit Facility during the first quarter of
2000 to fund a portion of its capital expenditures and the purchase of treasury
stock. Net borrowings against the Senior Credit Facility in the first six months
of 2000 were $28.8 million.

       ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


See the information included in "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About
Market Risk" in Item 7A of Prize's 1999 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 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 ($41.7) million as of June 30, 2000
compared to ($10.5) million as of December 31, 1999.
