Other Events.

On September 16, 2013, Colorado 2001B Limited Partnership, a West Virginia limited partnership (the “Partnership”), filed a petition under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Chapter 11 Proceeding”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”) and indicated its intention to file a Motion to Sell Substantially All of Its Assets (the “Sale Motion”) with the Bankruptcy Court. The Sale Motion will provide for, among other things, a marketing and auction process for the sale of substantially all of the Partnership’s assets through The Oil & Gas Asset Clearinghouse. The Partnership remains in possession of its assets and continues to operate its business as a debtor-in-possession under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court. In addition, Karen Nicolaou has been appointed by the Managing General Partner of the Partnership to act as the Responsible Party for the Partnership and to oversee all actions for the Partnership in connection with the Chapter 11 Proceeding, including actions relating to the anticipated Sale Motion. Ms. Nicolaou has more than 15 years of experience in restructuring advisory services.

On September 10, 2013, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued an Order Instituting Administrative Proceedings (the “OIAP”) pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to suspend or revoke the registration of the Partnership’s equity securities because the Partnership has not remained current in its periodic reports under the Exchange Act.
