                        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 which will be 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 $20,525,261 and the Managing General Partner
    contributed $4,464,244 in accordance with the Agreement.  Syndication and
    management fee costs of $2,668,284 were incurred leaving available capital
    of $22,321,221 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, 1999.  Nintey-seven wells have been drilled, of
    which ninety 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 $9,986.

         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

         The Partnership had natural gas sales during the first quarter of 1999
    from twelve of the Partnership's producing wells.  As of May 10, 1999, 
    thirty-one of the Partnership's ninety productive wells were producing
    natural gas.  The remaining fifty-nine wells are scheduled to go into
    production during the remainder of the second quarter of 1999.  During the
    first quarter of 1999, the Partnership expensed $556,252 of exploratory dry
    hole costs related to one well.  Cash distributions to the partners are
    scheduled to commence during the second 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.
