Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Accounting Policies
Reference is hereby made to the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K
for 1998, which contains a summary of significant accounting policies
followed by the Partnership in the preparation of its financial statements.
These policies were also followed in preparing the quarterly report
included herein.
2. Basis of Presentation
The Management of the Partnership believes that all adjustments (consisting
of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to a fair statement of the
results of such periods have been made. The results of operations for the
three months ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for the full year.
3. Oil and Gas Properties
The Partnership follows the successful efforts method of accounting for the
cost of exploring for and developing oil and gas reserves. Under this
method, costs of development wells, including equipment and intangible
drilling costs related to both producing wells and developmental dry holes,
and successful exploratory wells are capitalized and amortized on an annual
basis to operations by the units-of-production method using estimated
proved developed reserves determined at year end by an independent
petroleum engineer. If a determination is made that an exploratory well
has not discovered economically producible reserves, then its costs are
expensed as dry hole costs.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Partnership was funded with initial Limited and Additional General
Partner contributions of $18,519,579 and the Managing General Partner
contributed $4,028,009 in accordance with the Agreement. Syndication and
management fee costs of $2,407,545 were incurred leaving available capital
of $20,140,043 for Partnership activities.
The Partnership began exploration and development activities
subsequent to the funding of the Partnership and completed well drilling
activities by March 31, 1998. One hundred and one wells have been drilled,
of which ninety-five have been completed as producing wells.
Operations will be conducted with available funds and revenues
generated from oil and gas activities. No bank borrowings are anticipated.
The Partnership had net working capital at March 31, 1999 of $111,127.
The Partnership's revenues from oil and gas will be affected by
changes in prices. As a result of changes in federal regulations, gas
prices are highly dependent on the balance between supply and demand. The
Partnership's gas sales prices are subject to increase and decrease based
on various market sensitive indices.
Results of Operations
Revenue and expenses during the first quarter of 1999 include natural
gas sales and related expenses for all of the Partnership's wells. During
the same period in 1998 only a few wells were turned into line and
producing. The Partnership distributed $231,643 to the partners during the
first quarter of 1999.
Year 2000 Issue
State of Readiness
The Year 2000 Issue is the risk that computer programs using two-digit
data fields will fail to properly recognize the year 2000, with the result
being business interruption due to computer system failures by PDC's
software or hardware or that of government entities, service providers and
vendors. PDC, who administers all aspects of the Partnership, has assessed
the extent of the Year 2000 Issues affecting PDC and the Partnership. PDC
believes that the new computer system including operating software
installed during 1998 along with modifications made by PDC's computer
technicians have addressed the dating system flaw inherent in most
operating systems. PDC has completed a remediation plan and believes it is
currently fully Year 2000 compliant.
-6-
<PAGE>
PDC has initiated formal communications with its significant suppliers
and service providers to determine the extent to which PDC may be
vulnerable to their failure to correct their own Year 2000 issues. It is
expected that full identification will be completed by June 30, 1999. To
the extent that responses to Year 2000 readiness are unsatisfactory, PDC
intends to take appropriate action, including identifying alternative
suppliers and service providers who have demonstrated Year 2000 readiness.
Cost of Readiness
PDC does not currently expect to charge the Partnership for any
portion of PDC's cost to become Year 2000 compliant.
Risks of Year 2000 Issues
PDC presently believes the Year 2000 Issue will not present a
materially adverse risk to PDC's or the Partnership's future results of
operations, liquidity, and capital resources. However, if the level of the
timely compliance by key suppliers or service providers is not sufficient,
the Year 2000 Issue could have a material impact on PDC's or the
Partnership's operations including, but not limited to, increased operating
costs, loss of customers or suppliers, loss of accounting functions,
including well revenue distributions, or other significant disruptions to
PDC's or the Partnership's business.
Contingency Plan
PDC has a contingency plan, and will implement it on any system that
remains non-compliant at December 31, 1999, if any.
