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

(a)         OVERVIEW

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's
Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this
Form 10-Q.

The Partnership currently owns a 93.45% interest in the Sierra Creekside
Partnership, which operates the Sierra Creekside property.

(b)          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Rental income for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased $11,000, or
5%, when compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. This increase
was primarily due to higher rental rates. The Property was 96% occupied at March
31, 1999.

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 1999 increased by
$1,000, or 1%, in comparison to the same period in the prior year. An increase
in property taxes was partially offset by a decrease in utilities and
maintenance and repair costs.

                                       2
<PAGE>
Depreciation and amortization expenses for the first quarter decreased by
$5,000, or 6%, primarily due to fully depreciated capitalized tenant
improvements.

(c)         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Partnership is in an illiquid position at March 31, 1999 with cash and
billed rents of $91,000 and current liabilities of $136,000. A source of cash is
available through advances from the minority owner of the property, Sierra Mira
Mesa Partners.

The Partnership's primary capital requirements will be for the construction of
new tenant space. It is anticipated that these requirements will be funded from
the operations of the Property.

(d)         YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

The Year 2000 Compliance issue is the result of computer programs being written
using two digits rather than four to define the applicable year. Any of the
Partnership's computer programs that have time-sensitive software may recognize
a date using "00" as the year 1900 rather than the year 2000. This could result
in a system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of operations,
including, among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions,
send invoices, or engage in similar normal business activities. As a result,
many companies' software and computer systems may need to be upgraded or
replaced in order to comply with Year 2000 requirements.

The Partnership employs a property management company to manage, operate and
lease the property. The management company believes it will be ready for the
Year 2000 date change by the end of 1999. The impact of Year 2000 non-compliance
by other third parties cannot accurately be gauged.

The total cost to the Partnership of activities associated with Year 2000
Compliance is not anticipated to be material to its financial position or
results of operations in any given year. In January 1999, the Partnership began
utilizing a new software program to maintain books and records. The new software
program is Year 2000 compliant.

The total amount of potential risk that would be reasonably likely to result
from Year 2000 failures cannot presently be estimated. In the event the
Partnership does not properly identify Year 2000 issues in a timely manner,
there can be no assurance that Year 2000 issues will not materially affect the
Partnership's results.

The Partnership's contingency plan should systems fail due to the Year 2000 date
change is to temporarily convert to a manual system. The Partnership believes it
could temporarily operate on a manual system without adversely impacting
operations.

The preceding Year 2000 discussion contains various forward-looking statements
which represent the Partnership's beliefs or expectations regarding future
events. All forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and
uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from
projected results.

                         SIERRA PACIFIC DEVELOPMENT FUND
                             (A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.    ORGANIZATION

In February 1994, the Partnership created a general partnership (Sierra
Creekside Partners) with Sierra Mira Mesa Partners ("SMMP") to facilitate cash
contributions by SMMP for the continued development and operation of the Sierra
Creekside property. The Partnership Agreement of Sierra Creekside Partners (the
"Agreement") was amended effective January 1, 1995 to consider both
contributions and distributions when calculating each partners' percentage
interest at January 1 of each year as called for by the Agreement. Accordingly,
on January 1, 1999, the Partnership's interest in Sierra Creekside Partners was
increased from 90.67% to 93.45% to reflect 1998 contributions and distributions.

2.    BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include
the accounts of the Partnership and Sierra Creekside Partners, a majority owned
joint venture at March 31, 1999. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of the Partnership's management, these unaudited financial
statements reflect all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation
of its financial position at March 31, 1999 and results of operations and cash
flows for the periods presented. All adjustments included in these statements
are of a normal and recurring nature. These financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto contained in the
Annual Report of the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 1998.
