DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE
Annual Report to Limited Partners for the Year Ended December 31, 1999 is
incorporated by reference into Parts II and III

<PAGE>
PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
(a.) GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF BUSINESS. Sierra Pacific Development Fund (the
"Partnership") is a California limited partnership that was formed in February
1981 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, and operating commercial real
estate.
The Partnership's first real estate investment was for the acquisition of land
and development of a 41,000 square foot office project in San Bernardino,
California known as Sierra Commercenter. On December 31, 1993, the Partnership
sold Sierra Commercenter for $3,722,362 and recorded a gain on the sale of
$766,068.
In 1983, the Partnership acquired land in San Ramon, California as the first
step in development of the Sierra Creekside office project (the "Property"), a
47,800 square foot building that was completed in October 1984.
In February 1994, the Partnership created a California 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 contributed the
Property (at an agreed value of $2,825,000) and SMMP contributed cash ($198,159,
net, through December 31, 1998) in exchange for a 6.55% interest in Sierra
Creekside Partners. SMMP made additional contributions of $40,000, and received
distributions of $87,000 from Sierra Creekside Partners during 1999. The
percentage interests of the Partnership and Sierra Mira Mesa Partners are to be
adjusted every January 1st during the term of Sierra Creekside Partners,
beginning January 1, 1995. Accordingly, as of January 1, 2000, the Partnership's
interest in Sierra Creekside Partners will be increased to 94.92%, and SMMP's
interest will be decreased to 5.08%.
(b.) NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS. The Partnership owns and operates Sierra
Creekside, an office building in San Ramon, California. Success of the office
building is dependent upon the timely payment of rent by three tenants who
accounted for approximately 44% of the rental income of the Partnership for the
year ended December 31, 1999.
There is significant competition in the office building rental market in the
Partnership's trade area. A 1994 appraisal identified six buildings in the
immediate area that offered space and amenities comparable to Sierra Creekside.
(c.) COMPARISON OF CURRENT ACTIVITIES TO THOSE PROPOSED AT THE INITIATION OF THE
PARTNERSHIP. In the Partnership's prospectus dated June 25, 1982, the investment
objectives were described as follows:
"The Partnership was formed to invest in properties which will: (i.) have the
potential for long-term capital gains through appreciation in value; (ii.) to
the extent consistent with (i.) above, preserve, protect and return the
Partnership's invested capital; (iii.) provide distributable Cash Flow from
operations; (iv.) provide Federal Income Tax deductions so that all or a portion
of any distributable cash from operations may be treated as a return of capital
for tax purposes and, therefore, may not represent taxable income to the Limited
Partners; and (v.) build up equity through the reduction of mortgage loans on
those of the Partnership's properties which have been leveraged. There can be no
assurance that such objectives will be achieved."
2
<PAGE>
The prospectus also states: "The Partnership expects to commence liquidation of
all its properties after approximately the fifth year of Partnership operations.
However, the Managing General Partners may exercise their discretion as to
whether and when to sell, finance or refinance a property, and the Partnership
will have no obligations to sell properties at any particular time."
Operations of the Partnership through 1999 have been consistent with the intent
of the original prospectus in that the Partnership has invested in real estate
projects that had the potential for capital gains, preservation of capital and
providing distributable cash flow partially sheltered from Federal Income Tax.
However, the Partnership and its real estate have been adversely affected by the
Tax Reform Act of 1986, aggressive lending by banks that resulted in commercial
real estate overbuilding, and subsequent severe recessions. The original
intention to begin liquidation of properties after the fifth year of operations
was delayed indefinitely. As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership had paid cash
distributions of $166.75 for each $500 unit investment and remaining partners'
equity is $47.04 per unit. Thus, if the Partnership were to be liquidated at the
end of 1999 at book value, each $500 investment would have returned a total of
$213.79.
The General Partner's goal is to continue operating the Property until such time
as rental rates return to the level necessary to support new office building
development. At that time, the Property may be sold at a price substantially
greater than current book value.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
During 1999, the Partnership owned (fee simple) a 93.45% interest in Sierra
Creekside, a commercial office building located in San Ramon, California. (See
Item 1. Business for discussion of changes in ownership percentages). The
building consists of 47,800 rentable square feet and is 100% occupied at
December 31, 1999. The average effective annual rent per square foot at December
31, 1999 is $19.52.
The Property was encumbered by a mortgage lien in favor of Home Federal Savings
of San Francisco with a principal balance of $1,673,186 at December 31, 1999.
The mortgage bore interest at 3.5% above the 11th District Cost of Funds Index
with a minimum of 9% and a maximum of 14% (9% at December 31, 1999). The loan
term was 120 months with a maturity date of July 1, 2005. Payments were
amortized over a 240 month period with a remaining principal balance of
$1,316,055 due at maturity assuming no payment had been made on principal in
advance of its due date.
On January 25, 2000, the Home Federal Savings note was repaid. On the same date,
the Partnership entered into a new 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. This loan, which is secured by the Sierra
Creekside property, 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.

As of December 31, 1999, the number of security holders is as follows:
NUMBER
NUMBER OF
OF UNITS RECORD HOLDERS
---------- --------------
Limited Partners 29,354 1,829
========== ==============
These securities are all of the same class, namely, limited partnership
interests (units) and were sold pursuant to a registration statement filed under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The total offering was 30,000 units at
$500.00 per unit.
No broker or dealer currently makes a market in the units of the Partnership.
Accordingly, there are no published price or trading volume figures available
for the units. The units have been transferred on an extremely limited extent
from time-to-time since the inception of the Partnership; however, the market
for the units is highly restricted and sporadic, especially in view of the
investor suitability requirements imposed on new purchasers by the various state
blue sky laws and the restrictions on transfer contained in the Partnership
Agreement.
The Partnership has neither paid nor declared any cash or other distributions to
the General or Limited Partners during the two most recent years. There are no
contractual or other restrictions on the Partnership's ability to make such
distributions.
ITEM 6. SELECTED FINANCIAL DATA
The Selected Financial Data for the Partnership is filed by reference to the
Annual Report to the Limited Partners attached as an Exhibit.
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations includes certain forward looking statements reflecting the
Partnership's expectations in the near future; however, many factors which may
affect the actual results, especially changing regulations, are difficult to
predict. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Partnership's expectations
will be realized.
Overview:
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Selected
Financial Data and the Partnership's Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes
thereto incorporated by reference to the Annual Report to the Limited Partners
attached as an Exhibit. As of December 31, 1999, the Partnership owns a 93.45%
interest in the Sierra Creekside Partners, which operates one property, Sierra
Creekside (the "Property").

Results of Operations:
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1999 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998.
Rental income for the year ended December 31, 1999 remained virtually unchanged
in comparision to the prior year, despite an increase in rental rates and
occupancy. In 1998, rental income included a lease buy-out negotiated with a
former tenant. The weighted-average effective annual rent per square foot, on an
accrual basis, increased from $18.57 at December 31, 1998 to $19.52 at December
31, 1999. Occupancy rose from 96% at December 31, 1998 to 100% at December 31,
1999.
Operating expenses remained relatively unchanged, increasing by $4,000, when
compared to 1998. Bad debt expense of $27,000 was recorded as a result of a
receivable write-off from an affiliate. Further, property taxes and insurance,
and administrative costs rose during the period. This increase was primarily
offset by a decrease in depeciation and amortization expenses. Depreciation
expense decreased principally as a result of fully depreciated tenant
improvements.
COMPARISON OF YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997.
Rental income increased by $162,000, or 21%, when compared to the prior year.
This increase was primarily attributable to a lease buy-out negotiated in May
1998. The majority of the vacated space was re-leased at a higher rental rate.
The weighted-average effective annual rent per square foot, on an accrual basis,
increased from $16.16 at December 31, 1997 to $18.57 at December 31, 1998. This
increase was partially offset by a decrease in occupancy from 100% at December
31, 1997 to 96% at December 31, 1998.
Operating expenses decreased by $46,000, or 5%, principally due to a decrease in
depreciation and amortization expenses resulting from certain capitalized tenant
improvements and lease costs becoming fully depreciated during 1998. Further,
lower maintenance and repair costs were incurred in 1998 when compared to the
prior year. The increase was partially offset due to higher management fees
resulting from the increased rental income of the property and due to higher
property tax expense recorded in 1998.
Liquidity and Capital Resources:
In January 2000, the Partnership paid its loan balance due to Home Federal
Savings and entered into a new loan agreement for $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 loan is secured by a trust
deed on the Sierra Creekside property. The Partnership received net proceeds of
$2,222,000 as a result of the new loan. The proceeds will primarily be used for
construction of new tenant space and as a source for contributions to the
minority owner of the Property, Sierra Mira Mesa Partners ("SMMP").
During 1999, the Partnership generated cash flows from operations of $182,000
and paid $67,000 for property additions and lease commissions. SMMP contributed
a total of $40,000 to the Partnership and received distributions of $87,000 from
the Partnership in 1999.
The Partnership is in a liquid position at December 31, 1999 with cash and
billed rents of $143,000 and current liabilities of $15,000.
The Partnership's primary capital requirements will be for construction of new
tenant space. It is anticipated that these requirments will be funded from the
operations of the Property, proceeds from the new loan and contributions from
SMMP.
Inflation:
The Partnership's long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the
adverse impact of inflation on its results from operations. Such provisions may
include escalation clauses related to Consumer Price Index increases.

<PAGE>
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 did not experience any major system failures or disruptions in
operations over the year 2000 transition. All systems have continued to operate
as normal.
The Partnership did not separately track internal costs related to the Year 2000
issue and Partnership management believes these amounts did not have a material
impact on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations.
The Partnership employs a property management company to manage, operate and
lease the property. The management company did not experience any major systems
failures or disruptions in operations at the property. The Partnership remains
confident that no Year 2000 issues with the property management company or other
third parties will arise in the future although no guarantees can be made to
that effect.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Partners of
Sierra Pacific Development Fund
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sierra Pacific
Development Fund, a California limited partnership, (the "Partnership") as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, changes in partners' equity and cash flows for each of the three
years in the period ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sierra Pacific
Development Fund as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the results of its
operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

SIERRA PACIFIC DEVELOPMENT FUND
(A CALIFORNIA LIMITED PARTNERSHIP)
--------------------------------
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
ORGANIZATION
Sierra Pacific Development Fund (the "Partnership") was organized on February
13, 1981 in accordance with the provisions of the California Uniform Limited
Partnership Act to acquire, develop and operate certain real properties. S-P
Properties, Inc. is the General Partner and manager of the Partnership. On
December 30, 1994, all of the outstanding stock of TCP, Inc. was sold to Finance
Factors, Inc. TCP, Inc. owns all of the common stock of S-P Properties, Inc.
Finance Factors, Inc. was a subsidiary of CGS Real Estate Company, Inc., a
national real estate company. In July 1995, Finance Factors, Inc. merged with
Bancor Real Estate Company, Inc., another subsidiary of CGS Real Estate Company,
Inc.
The Partnership's first real estate investment was for the acquisition of land
and development of a 41,000 square foot office project in San Bernardino,
California known as Sierra Commercenter. This property was subsequently sold by
the Partnership. In 1983, the Partnership acquired land in San Ramon, California
as the first step in development of the Sierra Creekside office project (the
"Property"), a 47,800 square foot building that was completed in October 1984.
In February 1994, the Partnership created a California 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 contributed the
Property and SMMP contributed cash to this newly formed California general
partnership. At December 31, 1999, the Partnership's remaining real estate asset
is a 93.45% interest in Sierra Creekside Partners.
BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Partnership maintains its books and prepares its financial statements in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. However, the
Partnership prepares its tax returns on the accrual basis of accounting as
defined by the Internal Revenue Code with adjustments to reconcile book and
taxable income (loss) for differences in the treatment of certain income and
expense items. The accompanying financial statements do not reflect any
provision for federal or state income taxes since such taxes are the obligation
of the individual partners.
The preparation of 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 reported period. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership
and Sierra Creekside Partners, a majority owned California general partnership
(see Note 4). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been
eliminated in consolidation.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid, short-term investments with
original maturities of three months or less.
21
<PAGE>
Sierra Pacific Development Fund
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
Page two
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The financial instruments of the Partnership at December 31, 1999 and 1998
consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, due from affiliates, accounts
payable and note payable. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents,
receivables, and accounts payable approximates the carrying value due to the
short term nature of these items. In the opinion of management, the fair value
of the note payable approximates the carrying value as the interest rate is
based on a floating index. The amounts due from affiliates are not fair valued
due to the related party nature of this receivable.
INCOME-PRODUCING PROPERTY
Property and tenant improvements are carried at cost and depreciated on the
straight-line method over the estimated lives of the related assets, ranging
from one to thirty years. Tenant improvements incurred at the initial leasing of
the properties are depreciated over ten years and tenant improvements incurred
at the re-leasing of the properties are depreciated over the life of the related
lease.
Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are charged against income as incurred.
Improvements and major renewals are capitalized. Costs and the related
accumulated depreciation of assets sold or retired are removed from the accounts
in the year of disposal or when fully depreciated and any resulting gain or loss
is reflected in income.
The Partnership regularly evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever
events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the
asset may not be recoverable. Future cash flows are estimated and compared to
the carrying amount of the asset to determine if an impairment has occurred. If
the sum of the expected future cash flows is less than the carrying amount of
the asset, the Partnership shall recognize an impairment loss. Impairments
totaling $1,000,000 were recognized prior to 1995 as appraisals indicated other
than temporary declines in value.
Because the determination of fair value is based upon projections of future
economic events such as property occupancy rates, rental rates, operating cost
inflation and market capitalization rates which are inherently subjective, the
amounts ultimately realized at disposition may differ materially from the net
carrying value as of December 31, 1999. The cash flows used to determine fair
value and net realizable value are based on good faith estimates and assumptions
developed by management. Unanticipated events and circumstances may occur and
some assumptions may not materialize; therefore, actual results may vary from
the estimates and the variances may be material. The Partnership may provide
additional write-downs which could be material in subsequent years if real
estate markets or local economic conditions change.
OTHER ASSETS
Deferred leasing costs represent costs incurred to lease properties and are
amortized over the life of the related lease using the straight line method of
accounting.
Deferred loan costs represent costs incurred to obtain financing and are
amortized over the life of the related loan using the straight line method of
accounting.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

RENTAL INCOME AND RENT RECEIVABLE
Rental income is recognized on the straight-line method over the term of the
related operating lease in accordance with the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 13, "Accounting for Leases".
Rent receivable consists of (a) unbilled rent - the difference between rent
recognized on the straight-line method and actual cash due; and (b) billed rent
- - rent due but not yet received.
CALCULATION OF EQUITY AND NET INCOME (LOSS) PER LIMITED PARTNERSHIP UNIT
Equity and net income (loss) per limited partnership unit are determined by
dividing the Limited Partners' equity and net income (loss) by the number of
limited partnership units outstanding, 29,354 for all periods presented.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income" and SFAS
No. 131, "Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."
These SFAS's, which are effective for the Partnership's fiscal year ending
December 31, 1998, establish additional disclosure requirements but do not
affect the measurement of the results of operations. During the periods
presented, the Partnership did not have any items of comprehensive income. The
adoption of SFAS No. 131 had no effect on the Partnership's financial statements
as the Partnership operates in only one segment, the acquisition, development
and operation of commercial real estate.

deferred leasing costs.
During 1996, the Partnership made a non-interest bearing loan to an affiliate in
the amount of $26,916. This loan was uncollectible and subsequently written off
to bad debt expense in 1999.

On February 1, 1994, the Partnership formed a California general partnership
with Sierra Mira Mesa Partners ("SMMP"), an affiliate. The joint venture, known
as Sierra Creekside Partners ("SCP"), was formed to develop and operate the
Sierra Creekside property. The Partnership had a 79.2% equity interest with its
contribution of Sierra Creekside. Such interest was computed based upon the
estimated fair value of SCP's net assets at the date of formation of the joint
venture. SMMP was allocated a 20.8% initial equity interest in SCP in exchange
for its $745,000 cash contribution ($147,359, net, through December 31, 1996).
SMMP made additional cash contributions amounting to $168,500, $85,300 and
$40,000 and received distributions amounting to $25,000, $178,000 and $87,000
during 1997, 1998 and 1999, respectively. The percentage interests of the
Partnership and Sierra Mira Mesa Partners are to be adjusted every January 1st
during the term of Sierra Creekside Partners, beginning January 1, 1995.
Accordingly, as of January 1, 1997, 1998 and 1999, the Partnership's interest in
SCP was changed to 95.04%, 90.67% and 93.45%, respectively. On January 1, 2000,
the Partnership's interest will be increased to 94.92% and SMMP's interest will
be decreased to 5.08% to reflect the 1999 contributions and distributions. Under
the terms of the SCP joint venture agreement, SMMP will receive preferential
cash distributions of available "Distributable Funds" from the operation of SCP
or sale of its property to the extent of its capital contributions. Additional
Distributable Funds are allocable to the Partnership to the extent of the deemed
fair value of its property contribution, and the remainder to the Partnership
and SMMP in proportion to their respective equity interests. The excess of cash
distributions to SMMP over cash contributions from SMMP and income or loss
allocated to SMMP is reported as an asset in the Partnership's balance sheet.
Future minimum base rental income, under the existing operating leases for the
Sierra Creekside property, to be recognized on a straight-line basis and amounts
to be received on a cash basis are as follows:
STRAIGHT-LINE CASH
YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, BASIS BASIS
------------------------ ---------- ----------
2000 $ 799,950 $ 808,869
2001 579,738 596,785
2002 380,580 400,408
2003 134,902 141,055
2004 1,998 2,032
---------- ----------
Total $1,897,168 $1,949,149
========== ==========
The Partnership relied on three tenants to generate 44% of total 1999 rental
income. The breakdown for these three tenants' industry segments and rental
income contribution is as follows: 16% for a tenant in the construction
industry, 13% billing and collection services, and 15% banking.
5. NOTE PAYABLE
At December 31, 1999, note payable consisted of one loan with a bank with an
original principal balance of $1,850,000. The note bore interest at 3.5% above
the 11th District Cost of Funds Index with a minimum of 9% and a maximum of 14%
(9% at December 31, 1999). The note was secured by substantially all of the
assets of the Partnership. The maturity date of the note was July 1, 2005.
On January 25, 2000, the bank note was repaid. On the same date, the Partnership
entered into a new 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. This loan, which is secured by the Sierra
Creekside property, bears interest at 2.75% above the GECC Composite Commercial
Paper Rate (8.52% at December 31, 1999). Principal and interest payments are due
monthly based on a 30-year amortization. The loan matures January 31, 2005.

Annual maturities on the GECC loan are: $23,983 in 2000; $31,183 in 2001;
$34,030 in 2002; $37,138 in 2003; $40,529 in 2004; and $3,883,137 thereafter.
The Partnership is exposed to interest rate fluctuations associated with the
loan.
6. PARTNERS' EQUITY
Accrual basis profits and losses resulting from operations of the Partnership
are allocated 99% to the Limited Partners and 1% to the General Partner.
Currently, the Partnership does not meet the criteria for distributing cash to
the General Partner, and it cannot reasonably predict when the criteria will be
met. Accordingly, no accrual basis profits and losses from operations were
allocated to the General Partner.
Upon any sale, refinancing or other dispositions of the Partnership's real
property, allocations of the proceeds are distributed to the Limited Partners
until each has received 100% of his Adjusted Capital Contributions plus a 15%
per annum cumulative return on such invested capital. Any remaining proceeds
shall be distributed 80% to the Limited Partners and 20% to the General Partner.
