Item 2.     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
              and Results of Operations (1)

As of August 8, 1997, Pioneer Natural Resources USA, Inc. ("Pioneer USA") became
the  general  partner  of  the  Partnership.   Prior  to  August  8,  1997,  the
Partnership's general partner was Parker & Parsley Development L.P. ("PPDLP"), a
wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Parker &  Parsley  Petroleum  Company  ("Parker  &
Parsley").  On  August  7,  1997,  Parker  &  Parsley  and  Mesa  Inc.  received
shareholder  approval  to merge and create  Pioneer  Natural  Resources  Company
("Pioneer").  On August 8, 1997,  PPDLP was merged with and into  Pioneer USA, a
wholly-owned  subsidiary  of  Pioneer,  resulting  in Pioneer USA  becoming  the
general  partner of the Partnership as PPDLP's  successor by merger.  For a more
complete description of the Parker & Parsley and Mesa Inc. merger, see Pioneer's
Registration  Statement  on Form S-4 as filed  with the  Securities and Exchange
Commission.

Results of Operations

Nine months ended September 30, 1997 compared with nine months ended
  September 30, 1996

Revenues:

The  Partnership's  oil  and  gas  revenues  decreased  14% to  $1,013,600  from
$1,178,727 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 as compared to the nine
months ended September 30, 1996. The decrease in revenues resulted from declines

                                        7

in barrels of oil and mcf of gas produced and sold and a decrease in the average
price  received  per barrel of oil,  offset by an increase in the average  price
received per mcf of gas . For the nine months ended  September 30, 1997,  35,530
barrels  of oil were sold  compared  to 40,327  for the same  period in 1996,  a
decrease of 4,797 barrels,  or 12%. Of the decrease,  1,792 barrels,  or 4%, was
attributable to the sale of eight oil and gas wells during the nine months ended
September 30, 1996. The remaining  decrease of 8%, or 3,005 barrels,  was due to
the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties. For the
nine months ended  September 30, 1997,  128,979 mcf of gas were sold compared to
155,807  for the same  period in 1996,  a decrease of 26,828 mcf, or 17%. Of the
decrease,  7,168 mcf, or 4%, was  attributable  to the sale of eight oil and gas
wells.  The  remaining  decrease of 19,660  mcf, or 13%,  was due to the decline
characteristics  of the Partnership's  oil and gas properties.  Because of these
characteristics, management expects a certain amount of decline in production to
continue in the future until the Partnership's economically recoverable reserves
are fully depleted.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  decreased 4% from $20.61 for the
nine  months  ended  September  30,  1996 to $19.71 for the same period in 1997,
while the average price  received per mcf of gas increased 9% from $2.23 for the
nine months ended  September 30, 1996 to $2.43 for the same period in 1997.  The
market price for oil and gas has been extremely volatile in the past decade, and
management expects a certain amount of volatility to continue in the foreseeable
future.  The Partnership may therefore sell its future oil and gas production at
average  prices lower or higher than that received  during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997.

On April 29, 1996, Southmark  Corporation,  the managing general partner and the
Partnership entered into a final $7.4 million settlement  agreement with Jack N.
Price resolving all outstanding litigation between the parties. As a result, all
of the pending lawsuits and judgments have been dismissed,  the supersedeas bond
released,  and the Reserve  released as  collateral.  On June 28,  1996, a final
distribution was made to the working interest owners of $565,756, which included
$547,002, or $31.79 per limited partnership interest, to the Partnership and its
partners.

Gain on disposition of assets of $72,729 for the nine months ended September 30,
1996 was  comprised of $12,859  salvage  income from the disposal of oil and gas
equipment on one fully depleted well, and a gain of $55,538 from the sale of six
oil and gas wells and four saltwater  disposal wells to Costilla Energy,  L.L.C.
An  unrelated  sale of four fully  depleted  oil and gas wells  resulted  in the
recognition of a gain of $4,332.

Costs and Expenses:

Total  costs and  expenses  decreased  to  $730,239  for the nine  months  ended
September  30,  1997 as compared  to  $867,777  for the same  period in 1996,  a
decrease of $137,538,  or 16%.  This  decrease was due to declines in production
costs,  depletion,  abandoned  property  costs and  general  and  administrative
expenses ("G&A").

Production  costs were $464,740 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
$578,191 for the same period in 1996, resulting in a $113,451 decrease,  or 20%.
The decrease was due to reductions in well maintenance and workover expenses.

                                        8

<PAGE>



G&A's  components are independent  accounting and engineering  fees and managing
general  partner  personnel  and  operating  costs.   During  this  period,  G&A
decreased,  in aggregate,  14% from $35,362 for the nine months ended  September
30,  1996 to $30,408  for the same  period in 1997.  The  Partnership  agreement
limits G&A to 3% of gross oil and gas revenues.

Depletion was $235,091 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 compared to
$245,884 for the same period in 1996, representing a decrease of $10,793, or 4%.
The  decrease  was  attributable  to the sale of  properties  during  1996 and a
decline in oil  production of 3,005 barrels on the remaining  active  properties
for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 from the same  period in 1996,
offset by a decline in oil reserves  during 1997 as a result of lower  commodity
prices.

Abandoned  property costs of $8,340 were incurred on the abandonment of one well
during the nine months ended September 30, 1996.

Three months ended September 30, 1997 compared with three months ended September
  30, 1996

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  decreased 24% to $287,228 from $375,549
for the three  months ended  September  30, 1997 as compared to the three months
ended  September  30, 1996.  The decrease in revenues  resulted from declines in
barrels of oil and mcf of gas  produced  and sold and a decrease  in the average
price  received  per barrel of oil,  offset by an increase in the average  price
received per mcf of gas. For the three months ended  September 30, 1997,  10,803
barrels  of oil were sold  compared  to 12,418  for the same  period in 1996,  a
decrease of 1,615  barrels,  or 13%. For the three months  ended  September  30,
1997,  41,533 mcf of gas were sold  compared  to 51,674  for the same  period in
1996, a decrease of 10,141 mcf, or 20%. The decrease in  production  volumes was
due to the decline characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  decreased  $3.10,  or 14%,  from
$21.39 for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1996 to $18.29 for the same
period in 1997,  while  the  average  price  received  per mcf of gas  increased
slightly from $2.13 during the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $2.16 in
1997.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  decreased  to  $234,832  for the three  months  ended
September  30,  1997 as compared  to  $269,209  for the same  period in 1996,  a
decrease of $34,377,  or 13%.  This  decrease was due to declines in  production
costs, G&A and depletion.

Production costs were $152,855 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and
$183,227 for the same period in 1996,  resulting in a $30,372 decrease,  or 17%.
The decrease resulted from reductions in well maintenance and workover expenses.

G&A's  components are independent  accounting and engineering  fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased
in aggregate,  24% from $11,267 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to
$8,617 for the same period in 1997.

<PAGE>



Depletion was $73,360 for the three months ended  September 30, 1997 compared to
$74,715 for the same  period in 1996,  representing  a decrease  of $1,355.  The
decrease was  attributable  to a decline in oil  production of 1,615 barrels for
the three  months  ended  September  30,  1997 as compared to the same period in
1996, offset by a decrease in oil reserves during the third quarter of 1997 as a
result of lower commodity prices.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating  activities  decreased  $588,743  during the nine
months ended  September 30, 1997 from the same period ended  September 30, 1996.
This decrease was  primarily due to the receipt of proceeds from the  litigation
settlement  in 1996 as  discussed  above  and a  decrease  in oil and gas  sales
receipts, offset by a decline in production costs paid.

Net Cash Provided by Investing Activities

The  Partnership's  investing  activities during the nine months ended September
30,  1997 and 1996 were  related to the  disposal  of oil and gas  equipment  on
active properties.

Proceeds from disposition of assets of $230,600, received during the nine months
ended September 30, 1996, were comprised of $12,859 from the sale of oil and gas
equipment on one fully  depleted  well and $217,741 from the sale of ten oil and
gas wells.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash was  sufficient  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 to cover
distributions to the partners of $662,425 of which $6,625 was distributed to the
managing  general  partner and  $655,800 to the limited  partners.  For the same
period ended  September 30, 1996, cash was sufficient for  distributions  to the
partners of $1,120,065 of which $11,200 was distributed to the managing  general
partner  and  $1,108,865  to the limited  partners.  Cash  distributions  to the
partners of  $1,120,065  for the nine months ended  September  30, 1996 included
$5,525 to the managing  general  partner and  $547,002 to the limited  partners,
resulting  from  proceeds  received  from the  litigation  settlement in 1996 as
discussed in Item 2.

It is expected  that future net cash  provided by operating  activities  will be
sufficient for any capital expenditures and any distributions. As the production
from the properties declines, distributions are also expected to decrease.
