The accompanying unaudited pro forma balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2010 has been prepared to give effect to the divestiture as if it had occurred on December 31, 2010.  An unaudited pro forma statement of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010 is not provided since the Company reported the results of its Tunisia operations as discontinued operations in its audited consolidated statement of operations that is included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010.

The unaudited pro forma balance sheet included herein is not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the divestiture taken place on December 31, 2010.

NOTE A.                  Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited pro forma balance sheet of Pioneer Natural Resources Company (the "Company" or "Pioneer") as of December 31, 2010 has been prepared to give effect to the divestiture, discussed below, as if it had occurred on December 31, 2010.

In accordance with United States Securities and Exchange Commission pro forma presentation rules, an unaudited pro forma statement of operations of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2010 is not provided since the Company reported the results of its Tunisia operations as discontinued operations in its audited consolidated statement of operations included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company recognized income from discontinued operations, net of tax, of $129.8 million, which included the results of operations of the Company's Tunisia subsidiaries.

During December 2010, the Company committed to a plan to divest 100 percent of the capital stock of its Tunisian subsidiaries, which own all of the Company's oil and gas properties in Tunisia.  On January 6, 2011, Pioneer entered into an Agreement for the Sale and Purchase of the Entire Issued Share Capital of Pioneer Natural Resources Anaguid Ltd. And Pioneer Natural Resources Tunisia Ltd., through which OMV (Tunesien) Production GmbH, a wholly-owned subsidiary of OMV AG, would acquire the Company's capital stock in the Tunisian subsidiaries for $866 million, before normal closing adjustments.  The effective date of the agreement is January 1, 2011, and the closing of the transaction occurred on February 18, 2011.

Following are descriptions of the individual columns included in the accompanying unaudited pro forma balance sheet and notes to unaudited pro forma balance sheet:

Pioneer – Represents the historical consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2010.
