Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.


Purchase of Assets

     On June 30, 1999, Parallel Petroleum Corporation and three other
privately owned companies purchased all of the oil and gas properties
owned by Fina Oil and Chemical Company located in the Permian Basin
of west Texas (the "Properties").  The purchase price was $96.125 million.

     To complete the acquisition of the Properties, Parallel and its three
partners formed First Permian, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability
company.  The owners and members of First Permian are Parallel
Petroleum Corporation, Baytech, Inc., Tejon Exploration Company and
Mansefeldt Investment Corporation.  Parallel and Baytech each own a
22.5% interest in First Permian. Tejon Exploration Company and
Mansefeldt Investment Corporation each own a 27.5% interest in First
Permian.  Parallel and Baytech are the managers of First Permian.

     Following its formation, First Permian entered into a Merger
Agreement with Fina Oil and Chemical Company.  Under terms of the
Merger Agreement, Fina transferred all of the Properties to an indirect
wholly owned subsidiary of Fina which was then merged into First
Permian.  Upon consummating the merger, and after giving effect to the
purchase price adjustments required by the Merger Agreement, First
Permian paid to Fina cash in the aggregate amount of approximately $92
million.

     The Properties consist of 24 properties operated by First Permian
and 5 non-operated properties with 821 producing wells located in the
Permian Basin of west Texas.  Working interests range from 8.5 percent
to 100.0 percent.  Additional assets include interests in 608,222 gross
(103,489 net) mineral acres and 484,509 gross (70,262 net) leasehold
acres and seismic data covering most of the leasehold acreage.

Senior Secured Loans

     The purchase price was financed, in part, with the proceeds of a
revolving credit facility provided by Bank One, Texas, N.A. to First
Permian.  The principal amount of the initial loan from Bank One was $74
million.  Under terms of a Credit Agreement, dated June 30, 1999, among


<PAGE>
                                       3



First Permian, Parallel, Baytech and Bank One, as amended and restated
on August 16, 1999 (the "Credit Agreement"), the principal amount
outstanding under the revolving credit facility bears interest, at First
Permian's election, at (a) Bank One's base rate plus 1.50% or (b) the
Eurodollar rate plus 3.25% until such time as the subordinated
unsecured loans described below are paid in full.  When these
subordinated loans have been paid in full, the revolving credit facility will
bear interest at First Permian's election at (a) Bank One's base rate plus
a margin ranging from .25% to .75%, depending upon the outstanding
principal balance of the borrowings under the Credit Agreement or (b) the
Eurodollar rate plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.50% depending
upon the outstanding principal balance of the borrowings under the
Credit Agreement.  The Credit Agreement provides for revolving loans
subject to a borrowing base and a monthly commitment reduction.  The
initial borrowing base is $74 million and the initial monthly commitment
reduction amount is $250,000.00.  The monthly commitment reduction
commences on October 1, 1999 and continues with a like reduction on the
first day of each following month.  The borrowing base and the monthly
commitment reduction amount may be redetermined by the bank on
January 1 and July 1 of each year or at other times requested by First
Permian.  All outstanding principal under the revolving credit facility is
due and payable on July 1, 2002.  Interest is payable on the last day of
each month.  The revolving credit facility is subject to an unused
commitment fee of .50% on the unadvanced portion of the borrowing base
amount.

     The Credit Agreement also provides for the issuance of letters of
credit up to a maximum face amount of $5 million which, if used, are
considered as advances under the Credit Agreement.

     The loan is secured by substantially all of the Properties.  Parallel
and Baytech each guaranteed $10 million of the loans from Bank One.

Subordinated Unsecured Loans

     In addition to the $74 million loan from Bank One, First Permian
also borrowed $8 million from Tejon Exploration Company and $8 million
from Mansefeldt Investment Corporation.  Under terms of an Intercreditor
Agreement, dated June 30, 1999, among First Permian, Bank One, Texas,
N.A., Tejon Exploration Company and Mansefeldt Investment Corporation,
the loans made by Tejon and Mansefeldt are subordinate in all respects to
the senior loans made by Bank One.


<PAGE>
                                       4


     The loans made by Tejon Exploration Company and Mansefeldt
Investment Corporation are unsecured.  Each loan requires a principal
payment of $2.5 million on December 31, 1999 and $5.5 million on June
30, 2000.  Principal payments on the subordinated loans can only be made
with:

          . the net cash proceeds from the issuance of equity securities by
     First Permian;

          . advances under the Credit Agreement to the extent attributable to an
     increase in the borrowing base above $74 million;

          . proceeds from sales of assets of First Permian with the prior
     written consent of Bank One, after Bank One determines a new borrowing base
     (after giving effect to such sale of assets); or

          . any other source of payment with the prior written consent of Bank
     One.

     Each principal payment on the subordinated loans can only be made
if:

          . the full payment of all amounts then due and payable under the
     Credit Agreement have been made or provided for in accordance with the
     Credit Agreement; and

          . no subordination event has occurred or would occur as a result of
     such payment.

     Tejon and Mansefeldt may, at their option and with the agreement of
First Permian, irrevocably convert any claims they have to the
subordinated loans to an equity interest in First Permian.

     All unpaid principal and accrued but unpaid interest as of July 1,
2000 will be deemed to be principal and will be paid in twenty equal
quarterly payments of principal on March 31, June 30, September 30 and
December 31 of each year commencing September 30, 2000.  Any
payments of principal or interest on the subordinated loans after June 30,
2000 may only be made with the prior written consent of Bank One.


<PAGE>
                                       5


     Interest on the unpaid balance of the subordinated loans accrues
from June 30, 1999 until the earlier of the date of payment or June 30,
2000 at the prime rate of interest charged by Bank One.  After June 30,
2000, interest accrues at the lowest prime rate of interest as published in
the Money Rates Section of the Wall Street Journal.

     Interest on the subordinated loans is payable monthly in arrears on
the last day of each month, commencing July 31, 1999 and ending June
30, 2000, except that interest may accrue but not be paid on any unpaid
portion of the $2.5 million principal payment due on December 31, 1999
until the $2.5 million principal payment is made in full.

     If certain conditions are met regarding the prepayment of the
subordinated loans, Parallel's interest in First Permian could increase to
37.5%.

Simultaneous Sale of Acquired Properties

     In addition to the loans made to First Permian by Bank One, Tejon
and Mansefeldt, MDJ Minerals, L.L.P., a Texas limited liability partnership
controlled by Tejon and Mansefeldt, entered into a Purchase and Sale
Agreement, dated June 30, 1999, with First Permian, L.L.C.  Under terms
of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, First Permian simultaneously sold
certain oil and gas mineral interests comprising part of the Properties
acquired by First Permian under the Merger Agreement.  First Permian
sold the mineral interests to MDJ Minerals, L.L.P. for the cash purchase
price of $5 million.  A portion of the sales proceeds were used by First
Permian in payment of the purchase price of the Properties acquired from
Fina under the Merger Agreement.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT



The Board of Directors
Parallel Petroleum Corporation:

     We  have  audited  the  accompanying  statements  of  revenues  and  direct
operating   expenses  of  the  oil  and  gas  properties   acquired  (the  "Fina
Acquisition")  by Parallel  Petroleum  Corporation (the "Company") for the years
ended December 31, 1997, 1998 and for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  These
statements   are  the   responsibility   of  the   Company's   management.   Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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  statement  of  revenues  and  direct
operating  expenses  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.

     The accompanying  statements of revenues and direct operating expenses were
prepared to present  revenues and direct  operating  expenses of the oil and gas
properties acquired by Parallel Petroleum Corporation and are not intended to be
a complete presentation of the Fina Acquisition revenues and expenses.

     In our opinion,  the statements of revenues and direct  operating  expenses
referred to above present  fairly,  in all material  respects,  the revenues and
direct  operating  expenses of the Fina Acquisition for the years ended December
31, 1997,  1998 and for the six months ended June 30, 1999, in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                                FINA ACQUISITION

         Notes to Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses


(1) Basis of Presentation

     On   June 30, 1999,  Parallel  Petroleum  Corporation  (the  "Company") and
          three  other  privately  owned  companies  acquired  from Fina Oil and
          Chemical  Company  ("Fina")  certain oil and gas properties (the "Fina
          Acquisition") for approximately $92 million.  Parallel's proportionate
          share of the  acquisition  price  was $21  million.  The  accompanying
          statements of revenues and direct  operating  expenses for  Parallel's
          proportionate share of the Fina Acquisition do not include general and
          administrative  expenses,  interest income or expense, a provision for
          depreciation,  depletion and amortization, or any provision for income
          taxes  since  these  historical  expenses  incurred  by  Fina  are not
          necessarily indicative of the costs to be incurred by the Company.

     Revenues in the  accompanying  statements of revenues and direct  operating
          expenses  are  recognized  on the sales  method.  Under  this  method,
          revenues are recognized based on actual volumes of oil and gas sold to
          purchasers.  Direct  operating  expenses are recognized on the accrual
          method.

     Preparation of the accompanying statements of revenues and direct operating
          expenses  requires  management to make estimates and assumptions  that
          affect the reported amounts of revenues and direct operating  expenses
          during the reporting  period.  Actual  results could differ from those
          estimates.

     Interim Statements of Revenues and Direct Operating Expenses

     The  interim  financial  information for the period ended June 30, 1998, is
          unaudited.   However,  in  the  opinion  of  management,  the  interim
          statement of revenues and direct operating  expenses  includes all the
          necessary  adjustments  to fairly  present  the results of the interim
          period and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The
          interim statement of revenues and direct operating  expenses should be
          read in conjunction with the audited  statement of revenues and direct
          operating  expenses for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998 and
          for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

Activities (Unaudited)

    Estimated Quantities of Proved Oil and Gas Reserves

     Reserve information presented below for the Fina Acquisition, as of January
          1, 1997,  December  31, 1997 and 1998 and June 30,  1999,  is based on
          reserve estimates  prepared by the Company,  using prices and costs in
          effect at each  date.  Changes in reserve  estimates  were  derived by
          adjusting  such  quantities  and values for  actual  production  using
          historical prices and costs.

     Proved reserves are estimated quantities of crude oil and natural gas which
          geological and engineering data demonstrate with reasonable  certainty
          to be recoverable in future years from known reservoirs under existing
          economic and operating conditions. Proved developed reserves are those
          which  are  expected  to be  recovered  through  existing  wells  with
          existing equipment and operating methods. Oil and gas reserve quantity
          estimates  are  subject  to  numerous  uncertainties  inherent  in the
          estimation of quantities of proved  reserves and in the  projection of
          future rates of production and the timing of development expenditures.
          The  accuracy  of such  estimates  is a  function  of the  quality  of
          available data and of engineering  and geological  interpretation  and
          judgment.  Results of subsequent drilling,  testing and production may
          cause  either  upward or  downward  revision  of  previous  estimates.
          Further,  the  volumes  considered  to  be  commercially   recoverable
          fluctuate  with  changes in prices and  operating  costs.  The Company
          emphasizes  that reserve  estimates are inherently  imprecise and that
          estimates  of  new  discoveries  are  more  imprecise  than  those  of
          currently producing oil and gas properties. Accordingly, these reserve
          estimates  are expected to change as  additional  information  becomes
          available in the future.

     Beloware the  net  estimated  quantities  of  proved  reserves  and  proved
          developed reserves for the Fina Acquisition:

Standardized  Measure of Discounted  Future Net Cash Flows of Proved Oil and Gas
Reserves

The  Company has estimated  the  standardized  measure of discounted  future net
     cash flows and changes  therein  relating to proved oil and gas reserves in
     accordance  with the  standards  established  by the  Financial  Accounting
     Standards  Board through its Statement No. 69. The estimates of future cash
     flows and future  production  and  development  costs are based on year-end
     sales  prices  for oil and  gas,  estimated  future  production  of  proved
     reserves,  and estimated future  production and development costs of proved
     reserves,  based on current  costs and economic  conditions.  The estimated
     future net cash flows are then discounted at a rate of 10%.

Discounted  future  net cash  flow  estimates  like  those  shown  below are not
     intended to  represent  estimates  of the fair market  value of oil and gas
     properties.  Estimates of fair market value should also  consider  probable
     reserves, anticipated future oil and gas prices, interest rates, changes in
     development  and  production   costs  and  risks   associated  with  future
     production. Because of these and other considerations, any estimate of fair
     market value is necessarily subjective and imprecise.

The  following are the Company's  estimated  standardized  measure of discounted
     future  net  cash  flows  from  proved  reserves  attributable  to the Fina
     Acquisition:

                         PARALLEL PETROLEUM CORPORATION
           NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                      December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1999


Note 1. Basis of Presentation

     The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been prepared to
give effect to the 1999  Acquisition as if the transaction had taken place as of
January 1, 1998, with respect to the unaudited pro forma combined  statements of
operations. The Acquisition is recorded using the purchase method of accounting.

     Following is a  description  of the  individual  columns  included in these
unaudited pro forma combined financial statements:

     Parallel Represents the related statements of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1998 and the six months  ended June 30, 1999 of Parallel  Petroleum
Corporation.

     Parallel's  Member  Interest  Represents  22.5% of the  revenues and direct
operating  expenses of the properties  acquired in the 1999  Acquisition for the
year ended  December 31, 1998 and the six months ended June 30, 1999.  The 22.5%
members interest represents the interest in First Permian,  LLC that is owned by
the  Company.  The 22.5%  members  interest  will be  included  in the pro forma
combined balance.

Note 2. Pro Forma Entries

(1) To  adjust  interest  expense  for  Parallel's  proportionate  share  of the
amortization   of  $935,526  in  debt  issuance   costs  incurred  in  the  1999
Acquisition.  The debt issuance  costs are being  amortized  over a period of 36
months.

(2) To  adjust  interest  expense  for  Parallel's  proportionate  share  of the
interest  related  to the Bank One,  Texas,  N.A.  Credit  Agreement,  the Tejon
Exploration Company  subordinated  unsecured loan and the Mansefeldt  Investment
Corporation  subordinated  unsecured loan incurred in the 1999 Acquisition.  The
principal  amount of the initial loan from Bank One was  $74,000,000  and incurs
interest  over 36 months at Bank One's  base rate plus  1.50%,  which  currently
approximates  9.25%. The initial principal amount for both the Tejon Exploration
Company subordinated  unsecured loan and the Mansefeldt  Investment  Corporation
subordinated  unsecured loan was $8,000,000.  The  subordinated  unsecured loans
both incur  interest  over 12 months at Bank One's  base rate,  which  currently
approximates 7.75%.

(3) To  record  Parallel's  proportionate  share  of the  estimated  incremental
general and  administrative  expenses  necessary to  administer  the  properties
acquired in the 1999 Acquisition of $1,620,000 per year.

(4) To adjust  depletion  expense for the additional  basis allocated to the oil
and gas properties acquired in the 1999 Acquisition.

(5) To adjust for income taxes.

Note 3. Supplemental Oil and Gas Reserve Information (Unaudited)

     The following  unaudited pro forma supplemental  information  regarding the
oil and gas  activities of the Company is presented  pursuant to the  disclosure
requirements promulgated by the Commission and Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 69, "Disclosures About Oil and Gas Producing Activities".  The pro
forma combined  reserve  information is presented as if the 1999 Acquisition had
occurred on January 1, 1998.

     Management  emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently  imprecise and
subject to revision and that  estimates of new  discoveries  are more  imprecise
than those of producing oil and gas properties.  Accordingly,  the estimates are
expected to change as future information  becomes available;  such changes could
be significant.

Quantities of oil and gas reserves

     Set forth below is a pro forma summary of the changes in the net quantities
of oil and natural gas reserves for the year ended December 31, 1998 and the six
months ended June 30, 1999.

Standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows

     The pro forma combined  standardized  measure of discounted future net cash
flows is computed by applying year-end prices of oil and gas (with consideration
of price changes only to the extent provided by contractual arrangements) to the
estimated  future  production  of oil and gas  reserves  less  estimated  future
expenditures  (based  on  year-end  costs)  to be  incurred  in  developing  and
producing  the  proved  reserves,  discounted  using a rate  of 10% per  year to
reflect the estimated  timing of the future cash flows.  Future income taxes are
calculated by comparing discounted future cash flows to the tax basis of oil and
gas  properties,  plus  available  carryforwards  and credits,  and applying the
current tax rate to the difference.
