NOTE 1--TRUST ORGANIZATION

    The Mesa Offshore Trust (the "Trust") was created effective December 1,
1982. On that date, Mesa Petroleum Co., predecessor to Mesa Limited Partnership,
which was the predecessor to MESA Inc., transferred to the Trust a 99.99%
interest in the Mesa Offshore Royalty Partnership (the "Partnership"). The
Partnership was created to receive and hold a net overriding royalty interest
(the "Royalty") in ten producing and nonproducing oil and gas properties located
in federal waters offshore Louisiana and Texas (the "Royalty Properties").
Mesa Inc. created the Royalty out of its working interest in the Royalty
Properties and transferred it to the Partnership. Until August 7, 1997,
MESA Inc. owned and operated its assets through Mesa Operating Co. ("Mesa"), the
operator and the managing general partner of the Royalty Properties. On
August 7, 1997, MESA Inc. merged with and into Pioneer Natural Resources Company
("Pioneer"), formerly a wholly owned subsidiary of MESA, Inc., and Parker &
Parsley Petroleum Company merged with and into Pioneer Natural Resources USA,
Inc. (successor to Mesa) a wholly owned subsidiary of Pioneer ("PNR")
(collectively, the mergers are referred to herein as the "Merger"). Subsequent
to the Merger, Pioneer owns and operates its assets through PNR and is also the
managing general partner of the Partnership. As used in this report, the term
PNR generally refers to the operator of the Royalty Properties, unless otherwise
indicated.

STATUS OF THE TRUST

    The Trust Indenture provides that the Trust will terminate if the total
amount of cash per year received by the Trust falls below certain levels for
each of three successive years (the "Termination Threshold"). The December 31,
2000 reserve report prepared for the Partnership (see the Trust's 2000 Annual
Report on Form 10-K) indicates that Royalty income expected to be received by
the Trust in 2003 and thereafter could be at or near the Termination Threshold.
The reserve report estimates that future Royalty income to the Trust is
approximately $10.1 million while the Termination Threshold for 2000 was
approximately $1.3 million. Future Royalty income in the reserve report was
calculated using oil and natural gas prices in effect at December 31, 2000 of
$26.30 per barrel and $10.17 per Mcf, respectively. Natural gas prices have
declined significantly to approximately $5.00 per Mcf in March 2001;
consequently, future Royalty income would be significantly reduced if calculated
using March 2001 prices. It is therefore possible, based on March 2001 estimated
gas prices, (depending on the timing of production, market conditions, success
of future drilling activity, if any, and other matters) that in 2002 and
thereafter Royalty income received by the Trust may be below the Termination
Threshold. If Royalty income falls below the Termination Threshold for three
successive years, the Trust would terminate pursuant to the terms discussed
above. There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating and projecting
the quantity and value of proved reserves for the Trust properties as many of
the Trust properties are nearing the end of their productive lives and are
therefore subject to unforeseen changes in production rates. As such, there can
be no assurance that Royalty income received by the Trust in 2002 or thereafter
will be above the Termination Threshold.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                                  (UNAUDITED)

NOTE 2--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The accompanying unaudited financial information has been prepared by The
Chase Manhattan Bank (the "Trustee"), the successor by merger to the Chase Bank
of Texas, National Association, in accordance with the instructions to
Form 10-Q, and the Trustee believes such information includes all the
disclosures necessary to make the information presented not misleading. The
information furnished reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the
Trustee, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim
periods presented. The financial information should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Trust's 2000 Annual
Report on Form 10-K.

    The financial statements of the Trust are prepared on the following basis:

        (a) Royalty income recorded for a month is the Trust's interest in the
    amount computed and paid by the working interest owner to the Partnership
    for such month rather than either the value of a portion of the oil and gas
    produced by the working interest owner for such month or the amount
    subsequently determined to be 90% of the net proceeds for such month;

        (b) Interest income, interest receivable and distributions payable to
    unitholders include interest to be earned on short-term investments from the
    financial statement date through the next date of distribution;

        (c) Trust general and administrative expenses, net of reimbursements,
    are recorded in the month they accrue;

        (d) Amortization of the net overriding royalty interest, which is
    calculated on the basis of current royalty income in relation to estimated
    future royalty income, is charged directly to trust corpus since such amount
    does not affect distributable income; and

        (e) Distributions payable are determined on a monthly basis and are
    payable to unitholders of record as of the last business day of each month
    or such other day as the Trustee determines is required to comply with legal
    or stock exchange requirements. However, cash distributions are made
    quarterly in January, April, July and October, and include interest earned
    from the monthly record dates to the date of distribution.

    This basis for reporting royalty income is considered to be the most
meaningful because distributions to the unitholders for a month are based on net
cash receipts for such month. However, it will differ from the basis used for
financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States because, under such accounting principles, royalty
income for a month would be based on net proceeds from production for such month
without regard to when calculated or received and interest income for a month
would be calculated only through the end of such month.

    The instruments conveying the Royalty provide that the working interest
owner will calculate and pay the Partnership each month an amount equal to 90%
of the net proceeds for the preceding month. Generally, net proceeds means the
excess of the amounts received by the working interest owner from sales of oil
and gas from the Royalty Properties plus other cash receipts over operating and
capital costs incurred.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS.

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

    This Form 10-Q includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. All statements other than
statements of historical facts included in this Form 10-Q, including without
limitation the statements under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and Note 1 to the financial
statements of the Trust regarding the future net revenues of the Trust, are
forward-looking statements. Although Pioneer has advised the Trust that it
believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are
reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to have
been correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from expectations ("Cautionary Statements") are disclosed in this
Form 10-Q, including without limitation in conjunction with the forward-looking
statements included in this Form 10-Q and in the Trust's Form 10-K. All
subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to the Trust
or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the
Cautionary Statements.

FINANCIAL REVIEW

    Distributable income for the first quarter of 2001, was $608,102,
representing $.0084 per unit, as compared to $1,270,695, representing $.0177 per
unit in the first quarter of 2000. The per unit amounts of distributable income

</TABLE>

    Royalty income was $727,678 in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to
$1,314,423 for the first quarter of 2000. Royalty income in the first quarter of
2001 decreased when compared to the first quarter of 2000, primarily due to
lower production volumes from West Delta 61 and 62 blocks in 2001. West Delta
blocks 61 and 62 experienced higher production in early 2000 due to farmout
agreements entered into in late 1999. The increase in natural gas and crude oil,
condensate and natural gas liquid average prices partially offset the decrease
in production volumes.

    Production volumes for natural gas decreased to 153,477 Mcf in the first
quarter of 2001 from 427,963 Mcf in the first quarter of 2000. The average price
received for natural gas was $5.17 per Mcf in the first quarter of 2001 as
compared to $2.86 per Mcf in the first quarter of 2000.

    Crude oil, condensate and natural gas liquids production decreased to 6,462
barrels in the first quarter of 2001 from 22,680 barrels in the first quarter of
2000. The average price received for crude oil, condensate and natural gas
liquids was $28.63 per barrel in the first quarter of 2001, as compared to
$22.64 per barrel in the first quarter of 2000.

OPERATIONAL REVIEW

    PNR has advised the Trust that during the first quarter of 2001 its offshore
gas production was marketed under short-term contracts at spot market prices
primarily to H&N, Limited and that it expects to continue to market its
production under short-term contracts for the foreseeable future. Spot market
prices for natural gas in the first quarter of 2001 were generally higher than
spot market prices in the first quarter of 2000.

    The amount of cash distributed by the Trust is dependent on, among other
things, the sales prices and quantities of gas, crude oil, condensate and
natural gas liquids produced from the Royalty Properties and the quantities
sold. Substantial uncertainties exist with regard to future gas and oil prices,
which are subject to fluctuations due to the regional supply and demand for
natural gas and oil, production levels and other activities of the Organization
of the Petroleum Exporting Countries ("OPEC") and other oil and gas producers,
weather, storage levels, industrial growth, conservation measures, competition
and other variables.

    The Brazos A-7 and A-39 blocks experienced a decrease in natural gas
production in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to the first quarter of 2000
primarily due to natural production decline. PNR farmed out a portion of the
Brazos A-7 block to Newfield Exploration Co. and participated at a 10% working
interest in the completion of an exploratory gas well drilled in the second
quarter of 1997. The No. B-1 well commenced production late in the fourth
quarter of 1998 and is currently producing at a rate of approximately 4.6 MMcf
and 10 barrels of condensate per day. PNR farmed out their interest and the
Trust's interest in one-fourth of the Brazos A-39 block to Shell Oil Company in
late 2000 in return for a 2% override (1.8% net to the Trust) in one-fourth of
the Brazos A-39 block farmed out and one-fourth of three surrounding blocks.

    The South Marsh Island 155 and 156 blocks ceased production in the first
quarter of 2000. Four workovers were performed in 1999 to attempt to restore
production. While two were successful in restoring production for a short
period, the well ceased production again in February 2000. PNR has commenced
abandonment procedures subsequent to quarter-end.

    The West Delta 61 and 62 blocks experienced a decrease in oil and natural
gas production in the first quarter of 2001 as compared to the first quarter of
2000 due to higher production in early 2000 from farmout agreements in late
1999. In portions of West Delta block 62, the Trust is receiving Royalty income
pursuant to a farmout agreement with Walter Oil and Gas Corporation. The
interest in the farmout wells that is attributable to the Trust consists of a
7.5% net profits interest. The wells are currently producing at a rate of 4.2
MMcf and 170 barrels of condensate per day. In West Delta block 61, PNR farmed
out portions of the block to Stone Energy Corporation (formerly Basin
Exploration), retaining a 12.5% (11.25% net to the Trust) overriding royalty
interest. The operator drilled three exploratory wells, two of which were
successful. The two successful wells began producing during the second quarter
of 1999 and are currently producing at a combined rate of approximately .1 MMcf
and 220 barrels of condensate per day as of May 2001.

    Matagorda Island 624 production continued to decrease in the first quarter
of 2001 as compared to the first quarter of 2000, primarily due to natural
production decline. A workover was performed subsequent to quarter-end and gross
production for the block is currently 3.4 MMcf per day and 55 barrels of
condensate per day as of May 2001 compared to 1.1 MMcf per day and 6 barrels of
condensate per day as of May 2000.

TERMINATION OF THE TRUST

    The terms of the Mesa Offshore Trust Indenture provide, among other things,
that the Trust will terminate upon the first to occur of the following events:
(1) the total amount of cash received per year by the Trust for each of three
successive years commencing after December 31, 1987 is less than ten times
one-third of the total amount payable to the Trustee as compensation for such
three-year period ("the Termination Threshold") or (2) a vote by holders of a
majority of the outstanding units in favor of termination. Because the Trust
will terminate in the event the total amount of cash received per year by the
Trust falls below certain levels, it would be possible for the Trust to
terminate even though some of the Royalty Properties continued to have remaining
productive lives. For information regarding the estimated remaining life of each
of the Royalty Properties and the estimated future net revenues of the Trust
based on information provided by PNR, see the Trust's 2000 Annual Report on
Form 10-K. Upon termination of the Trust, the Trustee will sell for cash all the
assets held in the Trust estate and make a final distribution to unitholders of
any funds remaining after all Trust liabilities have been satisfied. The
discussion set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Trust Indenture itself, which is an exhibit to the Trust's 2000 Annual Report on
Form 10-K and is available upon request from the Trustee.

    The December 31, 2000 reserve report prepared for the Partnership indicates
that Royalty income expected to be received by the Trust in 2003 and thereafter
could be below the Termination Threshold. The reserve report estimates that
future Royalty income to the Trust is approximately $10.1 million, while the
Termination Threshold for 2000 was approximately $1.3 million. Future Royalty
income in the reserve report was calculated using oil and natural gas prices in
effect at December 31, 2000 of $26.30 per barrel and $10.17 per Mcf,
respectively. Natural gas prices have declined significantly to approximately
$5.00 per Mcf in March 2001; consequently, future Royalty income would be
significantly reduced if calculated using March 2001 prices. It is therefore
possible, based on March 2001 estimated natural gas prices, (depending on the
timing of production, market conditions, success of future drilling activity, if
any, and other matters) that in 2002 and thereafter Royalty income received by
the Trust may be below the Termination Threshold. If Royalty income falls below
the Termination Threshold for three successive years, the Trust would terminate
pursuant to the terms discussed above. There are numerous uncertainties inherent
in estimating and projecting the quantity and value of proved reserves for the
Trust properties as many of the Trust properties are nearing the end of their
productive lives and are therefore subject to unforeseen changes in production
rates. As such, there can be no assurance that Royalty income received by the
Trust in 2002 or thereafter will be above the Termination Threshold.

    The terms of the First Amended and Restated Articles of General Partnership
of the Partnership provide that the Partnership shall dissolve upon the
occurrence of any of the following: (a) December 31, 2030; (b) the election of
the Trustee to dissolve the Partnership; (c) the termination of the Trust; (d)
the bankruptcy of the Managing General Partner; or (e) the dissolution of the
Managing General Partner or its election to dissolve the Partnership; provided
that the Managing General Partner shall not elect to dissolve the Partnership so
long as the Trustee remains the only other partner of the Partnership. In the
event of a dissolution of the Partnership and a subsequent winding up and
termination thereof, the assets of the Partnership (i.e., the Royalty interest)
could either (i) be distributed in kind ratably to the Managing General Partner
and the Trustee or (ii) be sold and the proceeds thereof distributed ratably to
the Managing General Partner and the Trustee. In the event of a sale of the
Royalty and a distribution of the cash proceeds to the Trustee, the Trustee
would make a final distribution to unitholders of such cash proceeds plus any
other cash held by the Trust after the payment of or provision for all
liabilities of the Trust, and the Trust would be terminated.
