ROCKIES REGION PRIVATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 2010

(unaudited)

Note 1−General and Basis of Presentation

The Rockies Region Private Limited Partnership was organized as a limited partnership on December 6, 2005, in accordance with the laws of the State of West Virginia for the purpose of engaging in the exploration and development of oil and natural gas properties. Upon completion of the private placement of Partnership units on December 30, 2005, the Partnership was funded and commenced its business operations. The Partnership owns natural gas and oil wells located in Colorado and from the wells, the Partnership produces and sells natural gas and oil.

Purchasers of partnership units subscribed to and fully paid for 41.50 units of limited partner interests and 1,745.28 units of additional general partner interests at $20,000 per unit. In accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Agreement”), Petroleum Development Corporation, a Nevada Corporation, is the Managing General Partner of the Partnership (hereafter, the “Managing General Partner” or “PDC”) and has a 30% Managing General Partner ownership in the Partnership. Upon completion of the drilling phase of the Partnership's wells, all additional general partners units were converted into units of limited partner interests and thereafter became limited partners of the Partnership. Throughout the term of the Partnership, revenues, costs, and cash distributions are allocated 70% to the limited and additional general partners (collectively, the “Investor Partners”), which are shared pro rata based upon the portion of units owned in the Partnership, and 30% to the Managing General Partner.

As of March 31, 2010, there were 965 Investor Partners. As of March 31, 2010 the Managing General Partner has repurchased 2.5 units of the total 1,786.78 outstanding units of Partnership interests from Investor Partners at an average price of $10,192 per unit and, as a result, participates in the sharing of revenues, costs and cash distributions as both an investor partner and as the Managing General Partner.

The Managing General Partner, under the terms of the Drilling and Operating Agreement (the “D&O Agreement”), has full authority to conduct the Partnership’s business and actively manage the Partnership. The Partnership expects continuing operations of its oil and natural gas properties until such time that a well is depleted or becomes uneconomical to produce, at which time that well will be plugged and abandoned. The Partnership’s maximum term of existence extends through December 31, 2055, unless dissolved by certain conditions stipulated within the Agreement which are unlikely to occur at this time, or by written consent of the Investor Partners owning a majority of outstanding units at that time.

In the Managing General Partner’s opinion, the accompanying interim unaudited condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership’s financial statements for interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain notes and other financial information included in audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The information presented in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s 2009 Form 10-K. The Partnership’s accounting policies are described in the Notes to Financial Statements in the Partnership’s 2009 Form 10-K and updated, as necessary, in this Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2010, and the cash flows for the same period, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period.

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, as filed with the SEC on March 31, 2010 (“the 2009 Form 10-K”).

The Managing General Partner has evaluated the Partnership’s activities subsequent to March 31, 2010 and has concluded that no material subsequent events have occurred that would require recognition in the Partnership’s financial statements or disclosure in the notes to the Partnership’s financial statements.

Note 2−Recent Accounting Standards

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued changes clarifying existing disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements. The update also added a new requirement to disclose fair value transfers in and out of Levels 1 and 2 and describe the reasons for the transfers. The adoption of these changes as of January 1, 2010, did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

In January 2010, the FASB issued changes related to fair value measurements requiring gross presentation of activities within the Level 3 roll forward, whereby entities must present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements. This change will be effective for the Partnership’s financial statements issued for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2010. The Partnership does not expect adoption of these changes to have a material effect on the Partnership’s financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 3−Transactions with Managing General Partner and Affiliates

The Managing General Partner transacts business on behalf of the Partnership under the authority of the D&O Agreement. Revenues and other cash inflows received on behalf of the Partnership are distributed to the Partners net of (after deducting) corresponding operating costs and other cash outflows incurred on behalf of the Partnership. The fair value of the Partnership’s portion of unexpired derivative instruments is recorded on the balance sheet under the captions “Due from Managing General Partner–derivatives,” in the case of net unrealized gains or “Due to Managing General Partner–derivatives,” in the case of net unrealized losses.

The following table presents transactions with the Managing General Partner reflected in the balance sheet line item – Due from (to) Managing General Partner-other, net which remain undistributed or unsettled with the Partnership’s investors as of the dates indicated.

The following table presents Partnership transactions, excluding derivative transactions which are more fully detailed in Note 5, Derivative Financial Instruments, with the Managing General Partner and its affiliates for three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009. “Well operations and maintenance” and “Gathering, compression and processing fees” are included in “Natural gas and oil production costs” on the statements of operations.

	Three months ended March 31,

Gathering, compression and processing fees		41,234		44,252
Direct costs - general and administrative		36,801		171,408
Cash distributions*		425,761		252,355

*Cash distributions include $1,385 during the three months ended March 31, 2010, related to equity cash distributions on Investor Partner units repurchased by PDC. There were no negotiated-basis limited partner unit repurchases by PDC prior to September 30, 2009. For additional disclosure regarding the Unit Repurchase Program, refer to Note 1, General and Basis of Presentation.

Note 4−Fair Value Measurements

Derivative Financial Instruments. The Partnership measures fair value based upon quoted market prices, where available. The valuation determination includes: (1) identification of the inputs to the fair value methodology through the review of counterparty statements and other supporting documentation, (2) determination of the validity of the source of the inputs, (3) corroboration of the original source of inputs through access to multiple quotes, if available, or other information and (4) monitoring changes in valuation methods and assumptions. The methods described above may produce a fair value calculation that may not be indicative of future fair values. The valuation determination also gives consideration to nonperformance risk on Partnership liabilities in addition to nonperformance risk on PDC’s own business interests and liabilities, as well as the credit standing of derivative instrument counterparties. The Managing General Partner primarily uses financial institutions, who are also major lenders in PDC’s credit facility agreement, as counterparties to the Partnership’s derivative contracts. The Managing General Partner has evaluated the credit risk of the counterparties holding the Partnership’s derivative assets using relevant credit market default rates, giving consideration to amounts outstanding for each counterparty and the duration of each outstanding derivative position. Based on the Managing General Partner’s evaluation, as of March 31, 2010, the impact of non-performance risk on the fair value of the Managing General Partner’s derivative assets and liabilities was not significant. Validation of the Partnership’s contracts’ fair values are performed internally and while the Managing General Partner uses common industry practices to develop valuation techniques, changes in the Managing General Partner’s pricing methodologies or the underlying assumptions could result in significantly different fair values. While the Managing General Partner believes these valuation methods are appropriate and consistent with those used by other market participants, the use of different methodologies, or assumptions, to determine the fair value of certain financial instruments could result in a different estimate of fair value.

Concentration of Credit Risk. A significant component of the Partnership’s future liquidity is concentrated in derivative instruments that enables the Partnership to manage a portion of its exposure to price volatility from producing natural gas and oil. These arrangements expose the Partnership to credit risk of nonperformance by the counterparties. The Managing General Partner primarily uses financial institutions, who are also major lenders in the Managing General Partner’s credit facility agreement, as counterparties to the derivative contracts. To date, the Partnership has experienced no counterparty default losses.

Stormwater Permit. On December 8, 2008, the Managing General Partner received a Notice of Violation /Cease and Desist Order (the “Notice”) from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (the “CDPHE”), related to the stormwater permit for the Garden Gulch Road. The Managing General Partner manages this private road for Garden Gulch LLC. The Managing General Partner is one of eight users of this road, all of which are oil and gas companies operating in the Piceance Basin of Colorado. Operating expenses, including amounts arising from this notice, if any, are allocated among the users of the road based upon their respective usage. The Partnership has 10 wells in this region. The Notice alleges a deficient and/or incomplete stormwater management plan, failure to implement best management practices and failure to conduct required permit inspections. The Notice requires corrective action and states that the recipient shall cease and desist such alleged violations. The Notice states that a violation could result in civil penalties up to $10,000 per day. The Managing General Partner’s responses were submitted on February 6, 2009, and April 8, 2009. Commencing in December 2009, the Managing General Partner entered negotiations with the CDPHE regarding this notice and continues to work to bring this matter to closure. Given the inherent uncertainty in administrative actions of this nature, the Managing General Partner is unable to predict the ultimate outcome of this administrative action at this time and therefore no amounts have been recorded on the Partnership’s financial records.

Derivative Contracts. The Partnership is exposed to natural gas and oil price fluctuations on underlying sales contracts should the counterparties to the Managing General Partner’s derivative instruments not perform. Nonperformance is not anticipated. Neither the Managing General Partner, nor the Partnership, have had any counterparty default losses.

ROCKIES REGION PRIVATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

(A West Virginia Limited Partnership)

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

Rockies Region Private Limited Partnership engages in the development, production and sale of oil and natural gas. The Partnership began oil and gas operations in December 2005 and operates 47 gross (46.9 net) productive wells located in the Rocky Mountain Region in the state of Colorado. Of the Partnership’s total productive well count, 46 are producing and one Wattenberg Field well is not producing due to operational issues. The Partnership drilled two additional wells determined to be dry holes: one developmental dry hole in the Wattenberg Field, Colorado and one exploratory dry hole in the Red Desert Basin, Wyoming. The Managing General Partner markets the Partnership’s natural gas production to commercial end users, interstate or intrastate pipelines or local utilities, primarily under market sensitive contracts in which the price of natural gas sold varies as a result of market forces. PDC, on behalf of the Partnership through the D&O Agreement, may enter into multi-year fixed price contracts or utilize derivatives, including collars, swaps or basis protection swaps, in order to offset some or all of the commodity price variability for particular periods of time. Seasonal factors, such as effects of weather on prices received and costs incurred, and availability of pipeline capacity, owned by PDC or other third parties, may impact the Partnership's results. In addition, both sales volumes and prices tend to be affected by demand factors with a seasonal component.

The Partnership’s wells will produce until they are depleted or until they are uneconomical to produce; however, Partnership well recompletions in the Codell formation of Wattenberg Field wells, may provide for additional reserve development and production. The Managing General Partner has developed a plan to initiate recompletion activities during 2011. This plan includes notifying investor partners that in October 2010, funding for these recompletions will be procured through any combination of bank borrowings or withholding of future distributable cash flows of the Partnership resulting from both current production and any increased production due to recompletion activities. The funds retained which are necessary for the Partnership to pay for recompletion costs will materially reduce, up to 100%, distributable cash flows for a period of time not to exceed five years. If any or all of the Partnership’s Wattenberg wells are not recompleted due to an unfavorable general economic climate or unfavorable commodity price environment, the Partnership will experience a reduction in proved reserves currently assigned to these wells. Both the number of recompletions and the timing of recompletions will be based on the availability of cash withheld from distributions and continued favorable geological information. The Managing General Partner believes that, based on projected recompletion costs and projected cash withholding, all partnership recompletions can be completed. Current estimated costs for these well recompletions are between $150,000 and $200,000 per recompletion. The Managing General Partner will continue to evaluate the feasibility of commencing those recompletions based on engineering data and a favorable commodity price environment in order to maximize the financial benefit of the recompletion. Additionally, further-developed Partnership wells may not generate sufficient funds from production to repay financial obligations of the Partnership for borrowed funds, plus interest. All borrowings will be non-recourse to the Investor Partners; accordingly, the Partnership, not the Investor Partners, will be responsible for loan repayment. However, the bank borrowings would be collateralized by the Partnership’s assets.

PDC, the managing general partner of various public limited partnerships, has disclosed its intention to pursue the acquisition of the remaining third party investor interests in the limited partnerships which PDC has sponsored, including Rockies Region Private Limited Partnership. These purchases, which PDC has stated it anticipates might occur over the next three years, will be subject to PDC’s having sufficient available capital and the approval by a majority of the investors’ partnership interests, excluding partnership interest owned by PDC, of each respective limited partnership.

If a purchase offer from PDC is proposed and approved by a majority of the Partnerships’ unaffiliated limited partners, it would result in a liquidating cash distribution to all partners and termination of the existence of the Partnership.

Natural Gas and Oil Sales

The $0.5 million, or 51% increase in total sales for the 2010 three month period as compared to the same period in 2009 was primarily a reflection of the significantly higher average sales price per Mcfe of 84%, which was partially offset by production volume decreases of 18% on an Mcfe, or energy equivalency basis, during the 2010 three month period compared to the prior year period. Average sales price per Mcfe, excluding the impact of realized derivative gains, was $7.07 for the current year quarter compared to $3.84 for the same quarter a year ago.

The increase in natural gas revenues of 27% contrasts to the more significant increase in oil revenues of 88%. The Partnership’s oil revenue increase was bolstered by improved average oil sales prices (105%) as compared to the more moderate, yet significant, increase in natural gas sales prices (63%) during the period.

The Partnership expects to experience continued declines in both natural gas and oil production volumes over the wells’ life cycles until such time that the Partnership’s Wattenberg wells may be successfully recompleted. Subsequent to a successful recompletion, production will once again be expected to decline.

Natural Gas and Oil Pricing

Financial results depend upon many factors, particularly the price of natural gas and oil and the Partnership’s ability to market its production effectively. Natural gas and oil prices are among the most volatile of all commodity prices. These price variations have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial results. Natural gas and oil prices also vary by region and locality, depending upon the distance to markets, and the supply and demand relationships in that region or locality and the availability of sufficient pipeline capacity. This can be especially true in the Rocky Mountain Region. The combination of increased drilling activity and the lack of local markets have resulted in a local market oversupply situation from time to time. Like most producers in the region, the Partnership relies on major interstate pipeline companies to construct these pipelines to increase capacity, rendering the timing and availability of these facilities and transportation capacity beyond the Partnership’s control.

The price the Partnership receives for the natural gas produced in the Rocky Mountain Region is based on a variety of prices, which primarily includes natural gas sold at Colorado Interstate Gas, or CIG, prices with a portion sold at Mid-Continent, San Juan Basin, Southern California or other nearby region prices. The CIG Index, and other indices for production delivered to Rocky Mountain pipelines, has historically been less than the price received for natural gas produced in the eastern regions, which is primarily New York Mercantile Exchange, or NYMEX, based, because of the lack of interstate transmission capacity which moved Rocky Mountain natural gas production to Northeastern U.S. industrial and heating markets. This negative differential has narrowed in recent months and for two out of the last six months became a slight positive differential, which is inconsistent with historical variances. This negative differential between NYMEX and CIG averaged $1.62 for the three months ended March 31, 2009, and narrowed to an average of $0.16 for the three months ended March 31, 2010.

Commodity Price Risk Management, Net

The Managing General Partner uses natural gas and oil derivative instruments to manage price risk for PDC as well as sponsored drilling partnerships. Commodity price risk management, net includes realized gains and losses and unrealized changes in the fair value of derivative instruments related to the Partnership’s natural gas and oil production. The Managing General Partner sets these instruments for PDC, and the various partnerships managed by PDC. Derivative financial instrument positions taken by the Managing General Partner on the Partnership’s behalf, are specifically designated to the Partnership’s production volumes. See Note 4, Fair Value Measurements and Note 5, Derivative Financial Instruments, to the Partnership’s unaudited condensed financial statements included in this report, for additional details on the Partnership’s derivative financial instruments.

The following table presents the realized and unrealized derivative gains and losses included in Commodity price risk management gain (loss), net.

Total unrealized gain (loss), net		636,892			(986,257	)
Commodity price risk management gain, net	$	1,120,872		$	43,556

Realized gains recognized in the first quarter of 2010 which total $0.5 million, are a result of lower natural gas and oil spot prices at the settlement date compared to the respective strike price. During the first quarter of 2010, the Partnership recorded unrealized derivative gains of $1.1 million, $1.3 million of which was related to the Partnership’s natural gas positions, offset in part by unrealized losses on the Partnership’s CIG basis swaps of $0.2 million, as the forward basis differential between NYMEX and CIG has continued to narrow.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Partnership experienced realized gains and unrealized derivative losses as natural gas and oil prices declined. The net unrealized loss for the first quarter of 2009 of $0.1 million was comprised of a decrease in fair value of the Partnership’s CIG basis swaps of $0.8 million which resulted from a steeper decline in NYMEX pricing relative to CIG pricing that was partially offset by a $0.7 million net unrealized gain from the Partnership’s commodity derivatives.

Realized derivative gains, down 53% from the prior year first quarter, contributed an additional $2.47 per Mcfe to this year’s total revenues. Comparatively, the total per Mcfe price realized, consisting of the average sales price and realized derivative gains, increased 17% to $9.54 for the current year quarter from $8.14 for the prior year first quarter.

Natural Gas and Oil Sales Derivative Instruments. The Managing General Partner uses various derivative instruments to manage fluctuations in natural gas and oil prices. The Partnership has in place a series of collars, fixed price swaps and basis protection swaps on a portion of the Partnership’s natural gas and oil production as set forth in the following table. Under the Partnership’s collar arrangements, if the applicable index rises above the ceiling price, the Managing General Partner pays the counterparty; however, if the index drops below the floor price, the counterparty pays the Managing General Partner. Under the Partnership’s commodity swap arrangements, if the applicable index rises above the swap price, the Managing General Partner pays the counterparty; however, if the index drops below the swap price, the counterparty pays the Managing General Partner. Under the Partnership’s basis protection swaps, if the differential widens beyond the basis swap price, then the counterparty pays the Managing General Partner; however, if the differential narrows, then the Managing General Partner pays the counterparty. Because the Partnership sells all of its physical natural gas and oil at similar prices to the indexes inherent in the Partnership’s derivative instruments, the Partnership ultimately realizes a price related to its collars of no less than the floor and no more than the ceiling and, for the Partnership’s commodity swaps, the Partnership ultimately realizes the fixed price related to its swaps.

(1) Approximately 11% of the fair value of the Partnership’s derivative assets and all of the Partnership’s derivative liabilities were measured using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), see Note 4, Fair Value Measurements, to the accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements included in this report.

Natural Gas and Oil Production Costs

Generally, natural gas and oil production costs vary with changes in total natural gas and oil sales and production volumes. Property and severance taxes are estimates by the Managing General Partner based on rates determined using historical information. These amounts are subject to revision based on actual amounts determined during future filings by the Managing General Partner with the taxing authorities. Property and severance taxes vary directly with total natural gas and oil sales. Transportation costs vary directly with production volumes. Fixed monthly well operating costs increase on a per unit basis as production decreases per the historical decline curve. In addition, general oil field services and all other costs vary and can fluctuate based on services required. These costs include water hauling and disposal, equipment repairs and maintenance, snow removal and service rig workovers.

For the 2010 three month period compared to 2009 three month period, oil and natural production, on an energy equivalency-basis, decreased 43,669 Mcfe, or 18%, due to normally-occurring production declines throughout an oil and natural gas well’s production life cycle in addition to temporary operational constraints during the current quarter at most Grand Valley Field and some Wattenberg Field Partnership wells. Production and operating costs were moderately lower by approximately $0.1 million, or 22% due primarily to volume-associated reductions in production taxes, natural gas transportation and lease operating expenses. Although higher commodity valuations increased production taxes during the three months ended March 31, 2010, this increase was partially offset by a downward adjustment to these accrued taxes due to revisions to tax rates by the Colorado tax agencies, of which the Partnership was notified during the first quarter 2010. Production and operating costs per Mcfe were $1.49 for the 2010 three month period compared to $1.55 for the comparable 2009 three month period.

Direct Costs−General and Administrative

Direct costs – general and administrative consist primarily of professional fees for financial statement audits, income tax return preparation, independent engineer’s reserve reports and legal matters. Direct costs decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, by approximately $0.1 million principally due to reduced billings for professional services.

Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization

DD&A expense related to natural gas and oil properties is directly related to production volumes for the period. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the Partnership’s natural gas and oil economically producible reserve quantities were determined by valuing in-ground natural gas and oil resources, at the price of natural gas and oil as of December 31, 2008. Upon adoption of the SEC’s final rule regarding the modernization of oil and gas reporting in the fourth quarter of 2009, the Partnership changed to a price determined by the 12-month average of the first-day-of-the-month price during each month of 2009.

The DD&A expense rate per Mcfe increased to $4.07 for the 2010 three month period, compared to $3.45 during the same period in 2009 as calculated by the respective methodologies described above. The variance in the per Mcfe rates for the 2010 period compared to the 2009 period is partially result of the changing production mix between the Partnership’s Wattenberg and Grand Valley Fields, which have significantly different DD&A rates, in addition to lower proved developed reserves at December 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008. DD&A expense decreased moderately by $29,000, or 4%, as a result of the Partnership’s decrease in production volumes of 18% quarter-over-quarter that was partially offset by the increased DD&A expense rate per Mcfe, explained above.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Partnership’s primary sources of cash are from funds generated from the sale of natural gas and oil production and the realized gains from the Partnership’s derivative positions. These sources of cash were primarily used to fund the Partnership’s operating cost, general and administrative activities and provide monthly distributions to the Investor Partners and PDC, the Managing General Partner. Fluctuations in the Partnership’s operating cash flow are substantially driven by changes in commodity prices, in production volumes and in realized gains and losses from commodity positions. Commodity prices have historically been volatile and the Partnership manages this volatility through derivatives. Therefore, the primary source of the Partnership’s cash flow from operations becomes the net activity between the Partnership’s natural gas and oil sales and realized derivative gains and losses. However, the Partnership does not engage in speculative positions, nor does the Partnership hold economic hedges for 100% of the Partnership’s expected future production from producing wells and therefore may still experience significant fluctuations in cash flows from operations. As of March 31, 2010, the Partnership had natural gas and oil derivative positions in place covering 100% of expected natural gas production and 89% of expected oil production for the remainder of 2010, at an average price of $3.68 per Mcf and $92.96 per Bbl, respectively. See Results of Operations for further discussion of the impact of prices and volumes on sales from operations and the impact of derivative activities on the Partnership’s revenues.

The Partnership’s future operations are expected to be conducted with available funds and revenues generated from natural gas and oil production activities and commodity gains (losses). Natural gas and oil production from the Partnership’s existing properties are generally expected to continue a gradual decline over the remaining life of the wells. Therefore, the Partnership expects a lower annual level of natural gas and oil production and, in the absence of significant price increases or recompletions, lower revenues. The Partnership also expects cash flows from operations to decline if commodity prices remain at current levels or decrease in the future. Under these circumstances decreased production would have a material negative impact on the Partnership’s operations and may result in reduced cash distributions to the Investor Partners through the remainder of 2010 and beyond. Future cash distributions may also be reduced to fund well recompletions in the Codell formation of the Wattenberg field.

Working Capital

Working capital at March 31, 2010 was $1.2 million compared to working capital of $1.1 million at December 31, 2009. This increase of approximately $0.1 million was primarily due to the following changes in accounts receivable balances:

Realized derivative gains decreased to $0.3 million as of March 31, 2010, from approximately $0.4 million as of December 31, 2009.

Due to Managing General Partner-other, net, excluding natural gas and oil sales received from third parties and realized derivative gains, decreased to a $0.1 million liability as of March 31, 2010, from a $0.3 million liability as of December 31, 2009.

Cash Flows

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

The Partnership, from time-to-time, invests in additional equipment which supports treatment, delivery and measurement of natural gas and oil or environmental protection. These amounts totaled approximately $8,000 and $20,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

The Partnership initiated monthly cash distributions to investors in July 2006 and has distributed $35.6 million through March 31, 2010. The table below presents the cash distributions to the Managing General Partner and Investor Partners, including Managing General Partner distribution relating to limited partnership units repurchased, for the periods described.

Quarter ended March 31,	Managing General Partner Distributions		Investor Partners Distributions		Total Distributions

2010	$	424,376	$	990,211	$	1,414,587

2009	$	252,355	$	588,828	$	841,183

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, compared to $0.9 million for the comparable period in 2009. The $0.5 million increase in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to the following:

An increase in natural gas and oil sales receipts of $0.1 million, or 6%, accompanied by decreases in production and operating cost of $0.1 million or 22% and direct costs – general and administrative of $0.1 million, or 79%; and

A decrease in commodity price risk management realized gains receipts of $0.3 million, or 35%.

A decrease in the liability Due to Managing General Partner-other, net, excluding natural gas and oil sales received from third parties and realized derivative gains, payments of $0.5 million.

No bank borrowings or significant advances by the Managing General Partner are anticipated until such time as recompletions of the Codell formation in the Wattenberg Field wells are undertaken by the Partnership, which is expected to occur in 2011 or later. These borrowings, if any, will be non-recourse to the Investor Partners; accordingly, the Partnership, not the Investor Partners, will be responsible for repaying the loan. However, the bank borrowings would be collateralized by the Partnership’s assets.
