Note 1.   Basis of presentation

In the opinion of  management,  the unaudited  financial  statements of Parker &
Parsley  91-B,  L.P.  (the  "Partnership")  as of September 30, 1997 and for the
three and nine months ended  September 30, 1997 and 1996 include all adjustments
and accruals  consisting only of normal recurring accrual  adjustments which are
necessary for a fair  presentation of the results for the interim period.  These
interim  results are not necessarily  indicative of results for a year.  Certain

Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosure  normally  included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting  principles
have been  condensed  or  omitted  in this Form 10-Q  pursuant  to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The financial statements
should  be read in  conjunction  with the  financial  statements  and the  notes
thereto  contained in the  Partnership's  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 1996, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission,  a copy
of which is available upon request by writing to Rich Dealy,  Vice President and
Controller, 303 W. Wall, Suite 101, Midland, Texas 79701.

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  Petroleum  U.S.A.  Inc.,
("PPUSA"),  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,  PPUSA 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 PPUSA'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 16% to $950,925 from $1,137,930
for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 as compared to the nine months

                                        7

<PAGE>



ended  September  30, 1996.  The decline 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 an increase in the average price received
per mcf of gas. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997,  37,169 barrels of
oil were sold  compared  to 43,860 for the same  period in 1996,  a decrease  of
6,691 barrels,  or 15%. For the nine months ended September 30, 1997, 81,652 mcf
of gas were sold  compared to 93,692 for the same period in 1996,  a decrease of
12,040 mcf, or 13%. The  decreases in production  volumes were  primarily 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  slightly from $20.75 for
the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 to $20.05 for the same period in 1997,
while the average  price  received per mcf of gas increased 4% from $2.43 during
the nine months ended  September 30, 1996 to $2.52 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 $7,879, recognized during the nine months ended
September  30,  1997,  resulted  from  proceeds  received on the sale of mineral
rights on an undeveloped property. For the same period ended September 30, 1996,
a loss on  disposition  of assets of $1,221  resulted from the  abandonment of a
saltwater disposal well.

Costs and Expenses:

Total  costs and  expenses  increased  to  $559,145  for the nine  months  ended
September  30,  1997 as compared  to  $536,585  for the same period in 1996,  an
increase of $22,560,  or 4%. This  increase was due to an increase in production
costs,  offset by decreases in depletion,  general and  administrative  expenses
("G&A") and abandoned property costs.

Production  costs were $388,153 for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 and
$350,097 for the same period in 1996,  resulting in a $38,056 increase,  or 11%.
The increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance  costs incurred in
an effort to stimulate production.

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 $35,173 for the nine months ended  September
30, 1996 to $30,293 for the same period in 1997.

Depletion was $140,699 for the nine months ended  September 30, 1997 compared to
$150,873 for the same period in 1996, representing a decrease of $10,174, or 7%.
This decrease was primarily attributable to a decline in oil production of 6,691
barrels,  for the nine months ended  September  30, 1997 as compared to the same
period in 1996 offset by a decrease in oil  reserves  during 1997 as a result of
lower commodity prices.

Abandoned  property  costs  associated  with the  abandonment  of one  saltwater
disposal well during the nine months ended September 30, 1996 totaled $442.

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

Revenues:

The Partnership's  oil and gas revenues  decreased 27% to $284,123 from $388,878
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  lower  average  prices
received per barrel of oil and mcf of gas. For the three months ended  September
30, 1997, 11,861 barrels of oil were sold compared to 14,434 for the same period
in 1996,  a  decrease  of 2,573  barrels,  or 18%.  For the three  months  ended
September 30, 1997,  29,045 mcf of gas were sold compared to 32,896 for the same
period in 1996,  a decrease of 3,851 mcf, or 12%. The  decreases  in  production
volumes were primarily due to the decline  characteristics  of the Partnership's
oil and gas properties.

The average  price  received per barrel of oil  decreased  $3.05,  or 14%,  from
$21.60 for the three  months  ended  September  30,  1996 to $18.55 for the same
period in 1997.  The average  price  received  per mcf of gas  decreased 6% from
$2.34 during the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $2.21 in 1997.

Gain on  disposition  of assets of $7,879,  recognized  during the three  months
ended September 30, 1997, resulted from proceeds received on the sale of mineral
rights on an undeveloped property.

Costs and Expenses:

Total costs and  expenses  increased  to  $183,017  for the three  months  ended
September  30,  1997 as compared  to  $165,116  for the same period in 1996,  an
increase of $17,901,  or 11%. This increase was due to an increase in production
costs, offset by decreases in G&A, depletion and abandoned property costs.

Production costs were $126,988 for the three months ended September 30, 1997 and
$106,720 for the same period in 1996,  resulting in a $20,268 increase,  or 19%.
This increase was primarily due to additional well maintenance costs incurred in
an effort to stimulate production.

G&A's  components are independent  accounting and engineering  fees and managing
general partner personnel and operating costs. During this period, G&A decreased
19% from $12,028 for the three months ended September 30, 1996 to $9,764 for the
same period in 1997.

Depletion was $46,265 for the three months ended  September 30, 1997 compared to
$46,346  for the same  period in 1996,  representing  a  decrease  of $81.  This
decrease was  primarily  attributable  to a decline in oil  production  of 2,573
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  $70,424  during the nine
months ended  September 30, 1997 from the same period in 1996,  resulting from a
decrease  in oil  and  gas  sales  receipts,  offset  by  decreases  in G&A  and
production costs paid.

Net Cash Provided By (Used in) Investing Activities

The Partnership's  principal  investing  activities during the nine months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996 included  expenditures related to the replacement or
disposal of equipment on various oil and gas properties.

Proceeds of $7,879 were received during the nine months ended September 30, 1997
from the sale of mineral rights on an undeveloped property.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash was  sufficient  for the nine  months  ended  September  30,  1997 to cover
distributions to the partners of $697,442 of which $6,974 was distributed to the
managing  general  partner and  $690,468 to the limited  partners.  For the same
period ended  September 30, 1996, cash was sufficient for  distributions  to the
partners of $661,305 of which $6,613 was  distributed  to the  managing  general
partner and $654,692 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.
