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 20% to $640,813 from $802,427
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 in
barrels of  oil and  mcf  of  gas produced  and  sold and  a lower average price

                                        7

received per barrel of oil, offset by a higher average price received per mcf of
gas. For the nine months ended  September 30, 1997,  22,626  barrels of oil were
sold  compared  to 27,017  for the same  period  in 1996,  a  decrease  of 4,391
barrels, or 16%. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, 81,320 mcf of gas
were sold  compared to 102,999 for the same period in 1996, a decrease of 21,679
mcf, or 21%.  The  decreases in oil and gas  production  were due to the decline
characteristics of the Partnership's oil and gas properties.  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 $1.09, or 5%, from $20.81
for the nine months  ended  September  30, 1996 to $19.72 for the same period in
1997,  while the average  price  received per mcf of gas increased 3% from $2.33
during the nine months  ended  September  30, 1996 to $2.39 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.

Gain on disposition of assets of $13,269 for the nine months ended September 30,
1997 was attributable to the abandonment of one fully depleted oil and gas well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total  costs and  expenses  decreased  to  $463,208  for the nine  months  ended
September  30,  1997 as compared  to  $500,831  for the same  period in 1996,  a
decrease of  $37,623,  or 8%. This  decrease  was due to declines in  depletion,
production costs and general and administrative  expenses ("G&A"),  offset by an
increase in abandoned property costs.

Production  costs were $303,348 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
$323,712 for the same period in 1996 resulting in a $20,364 decrease, or 6%. The
decrease was the result of declines in workover costs.

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,  18% from $25,467 for the nine months ended  September
30, 1996 to $20,988 for the same period in 1997.

Depletion was $128,249 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 compared to
$151,652  for the same period in 1996,  representing  a decrease of $23,403,  or
15%. This decrease was primarily  attributable to a decline in oil production of
4,391 barrels for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 from the same period
in 1996.

Abandoned  property  costs of $10,623 were  incurred on one well during the nine
months ended September 30, 1997.

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

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  decreased 25% to $193,549 from $257,114
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 lower  average  price
received per barrel of oil, offset by a higher average price received per mcf of
gas. For the three months ended  September  30, 1997,  7,126 barrels of oil were
sold compared to 8,657 for the same period in 1996, a decrease of 1,531 barrels,
or 18%. For the three months ended  September  30, 1997,  27,860 mcf of gas were
sold compared to 31,414 for the same period in 1996, a decrease of 3,554 mcf, or
11%. The decreases in production were due to the decline  characteristics of the
Partnership's oil and gas properties.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  decreased  $3.27,  or 15%,  from
$21.58 for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1996 to $18.31 for the same
period in 1997,  while  the  average  price  received  per mcf of gas  increased
slightly from $2.24 during the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $2.26 in
1997.

For the three months ended September 30, 1997, the Partnership recognized a gain
on  the  disposition  of  assets  of  $13,269  which  was  attributable  to  the
abandonment of one fully depleted oil and gas well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  increased  to  $154,671  for the three  months  ended
September  30,  1997 as compared  to  $148,423  for the same period in 1996,  an
increase of $6,248,  or 4%. This  increase  was due to  increases  in  abandoned
property costs and production costs, offset by decreases in depletion and G&A.

Production  costs were $96,814 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and
$96,766 for the same period in 1996,  resulting in a $48 increase.  The increase
was the result of higher ad valorem taxes, offset by lower production taxes.

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,  16% from $8,199 for the three months ended  September
30, 1996 to $6,863 for the same period in 1997.

Depletion was $40,371 for the three months ended  September 30, 1997 compared to
$43,458 for the same period in 1996. This represented a decrease in depletion of
$3,087,  or 7%. The decrease was  attributable to a decline in oil production of
1,531 barrels  during the three months ended  September 30, 1997, as compared to
the same  period in 1996,  offset by a decrease  in oil  reserves  for the third
quarter of 1997 due to lower commodity prices.

Abandoned  property  costs of $10,623 were incurred on one well during the three
months ended September 30, 1997.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Net cash  provided by operating  activities  decreased  $29,121  during the nine
months ended  September 30, 1997 from the same period ended  September 30, 1996.
This  decrease  was  primarily  attributable  to a decrease in oil and gas sales
receipts and an increase in abandoned  property costs paid, offset by a decrease
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, respectively,  were related to the disposal or replacement of
oil and gas equipment on active properties.

Proceeds on  disposition of assets of $20,517  resulted from the  abandonment of
one oil and gas well during the nine months ended September 30, 1997.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash was  sufficient  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 to cover
distributions to the partners of $396,554 of which $3,966 was distributed to the
managing  general  partner and  $392,588 to the limited  partners.  For the same
period ended  September 30, 1996, cash was sufficient for  distributions  to the
partners of $413,500 of which $4,145 was  distributed  to the  managing  general
partner and $409,355 to the limited partners.

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.
