Notes to Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Accounting Policies
Reference is hereby made to the Partnership's Annual Report on Form
10-K for 1999, 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 six months ended June 30, 2000 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-four 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 June 30, 2000 of
$195,358.
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
Three Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared with 1999
Natural gas sales increased approximately 13.6% during the second
quarter of 2000 compared with the same period in 1999 primarily due
to higher average sales prices offset in part by lower sales volumes.
While the Partnership experienced a modest net income, depreciation,
depletion and amortization is a non-cash expense and therefore the
Partnership distributed $180,574 to the partners during the second
quarter of 2000.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2000 Compared with 1999
Natural gas sales increased approximately 11.1% during the first
six months of 2000 compared with the same period in 1999 primarily
due to higher average sales prices offset in part by lower sales
volumes. While the Partnership experienced a modest net income,
depreciation, depletion, and amortization is a non-cash expense and
therefore the Partnership distributed $388,510 to the partners during
the first six months of 2000.

Year 2000 Issue
PDC, who administers all aspects of the Partnership, experienced
no known disruptions as a result of the year date change and intends
to continue monitoring its critical systems at various other date
changes during the Year 2000.
PDC's expenditures for addressing Year 2000 issues were not
material, nor does the Company expect to incur any significant costs
addressing Year 2000 issues in the future.
