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 Sierra Pacific
Development Fund's (the Partnership) Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes
thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q.

The Partnership currently owns a 94.92% interest in the Sierra Creekside
Partnership, which operates the Sierra Creekside property (the Property) in San
Diego, CA.

(b)         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Rental income for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased by approximately
$42,000, or 9%, when compared to the corresponding period in the prior year,
primarily due to higher rental rates. One tenant, who leases approximately 7,000
square feet of the Property, extended his lease for an additional five-year term
in March 2000 at a higher rate. Rental income for the quarter ended June 30,
2000 increased by approximately $27,000, or 12%, principally as a result of the
lease extension. The Property was 100% occupied at June 30, 2000 and 1999.

                                       2
<PAGE>
Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2000 increased by
approximately $22,000, or 9%, in comparison to the same period in 1999. This
increase was principally due to higher utilities and maintenance and repair
costs. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in administrative costs
incurred during the period. Operating expenses for the three months ended June
30, 2000 decreased by approximately $6,000 or 5%, primarily as a result of the
lower administrative costs.

Depreciation and amortization expenses for the six months and three months ended
June 30, 2000 decreased by approximately $14,000, or 8%, and by approximately
$9,000, or 10%, respectively, principally due to fully depreciated capitalized
tenant improvements and fully amortized lease costs.

Interest expense for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2000,
increased by approximately $88,000 and $53,000, respectively, when compared to
the same periods in the prior year. As stated below, the Partnership refinanced
its mortgage loan on the Property in January 2000.

An extraordinary loss of approximately $46,000 was recorded in the first quarter
due to the write-off of deferred loan costs associated with the payoff of the
mortgage loan with Home Federal Savings.

(c)        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

In January 2000, the Partnership paid its loan balance of $1,669,000 to Home
Federal Savings and entered into a loan agreement with General Electric Capital
Corporation (GECC) in the amount of $4,250,000. The lender funded $4,050,000 at
closing and held back $200,000 to be drawn upon to help finance future tenant
improvements and leasing costs. The Partnership received net proceeds of
$2,222,000 as a result of the new loan. The loan is secured by the Property and
bears interest at 2.75% above the GECC Composite Commercial Paper Rate.
Principal and interest payments are due monthly based on a 30-year amortization.
The loan matures January 31, 2005. The majority of the loan proceeds were
distributed to the minority owner of the property, Sierra Mira Mesa Partners
(SMMP). During the six months ended June 30, 2000, SMMP received distributions
totaling approximately $2,433,000 from the Partnership and made contributions
totaling approximately $78,000 to the Partnership.

The Partnership is in a liquid position at June 30, 2000 with cash and billed
receivables of approximately $124,000 and accrued and other liabilities of
approximately $108,000. A secondary source of cash is available through
contributions from SMMP.

The Partnership's primary capital requirements are for the construction of new
tenant space and debt obligations. It is anticipated that these requirements
will be funded from the operations of the Property, the $200,000 tenant
improvement/lease commission holdback and contributions from SMMP.

Inflation:

The Partnership does not expect inflation to be a material factor in its
operations in 2000.

                     NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    (Unaudited)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.    ORGANIZATION

In February 1994, Sierra Pacific Development Fund (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 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.
Accordingly, on January 1, 2000, the Partnership's interest in Sierra Creekside
Partners was increased from 93.45% to 94.92% to reflect 1999 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 at June 30, 2000.
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 June 30, 2000 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, 1999.

3.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Included in the financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2000 and
1999 are affiliate transactions as follows:

                                                June 30

4.    PARTNERS' EQUITY

Equity and net loss per limited partnership unit is determined by dividing the
limited partners' share of the Partnership's equity and net loss by the number
of limited partnership units outstanding, 29,354.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2000, an amount was transferred between the
partners' equity accounts such that 99% of cumulative operating income, gains,
losses, deductions and credits of the Partnership is allocated among the limited
partners and 1% is allocated to the general partner. Management does not believe
that the effect of this transfer is significant.

5.    PENDING TRANSACTION

CGS Real Estate Company, Inc. (CGS), an affiliate of the general partner, is in
the process of developing a plan pursuant to which the property owned by the
Partnership would be combined with the properties of other real estate
partnerships managed by CGS and its affiliates. These limited partnerships own
office properties, industrial properties, shopping centers, and residential
apartment properties. It is expected that the acquirer would in the future
qualify as a real estate investment trust. Limited partners would receive shares
of common stock in the acquirer, which would be listed on a national securities
exchange or the NASDAQ national market system.
