PDC 2004-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2010

(unaudited)

Note 1−General and Basis of Presentation

The PDC 2004-A Limited Partnership was organized as a limited partnership on April 9, 2004, in accordance with the laws of the State of West Virginia for the purpose of engaging in the exploration and development of natural gas and oil properties. Upon completion of the sale of Partnership units on April 30, 2004, 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 33.34 units of limited partner interests and 1,418.20 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 that now conducts business under the name “PDC Energy,” is the Managing General Partner of the Partnership (hereafter, the “Managing General Partner” or “PDC”) and has a 20% 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 80% 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 20% to the Managing General Partner.

As of June 30, 2010, there were 1,152 Investor Partners. As of June 30, 2010 the Managing General Partner has repurchased 60.81 units of the total 1,451.54 outstanding units of Partnership interests from Investor Partners at an average price of $7,563 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 natural gas and oil properties until such time that the Partnership’s wells are depleted or become uneconomical to produce, at which time that well may be sold or plugged, reclaimed 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.

On June 7, 2010, the Partnership, the Managing General Partner and its wholly-owned subsidiary, DP 2004 Merger Sub, LLC (“DP Merger Sub”), a Delaware limited liability company, entered into an agreement and plan of merger (the “Merger Agreement”) in which PDC seeks to acquire the Partnership, subject to the vote and approval of the holders of a majority of the limited partnership units held by Investor Partners of the Partnership who are not affiliated with PDC (“third-party Investor Partners”). For more information on the proposed Merger Agreement, see Note 3, Transactions with Managing General Partner and Affiliates−Proposed Merger with PDC and DP 2004 Merger Sub, LLC, which follows. Pending the outcome of the proposed Merger Agreement, the Managing General Partner suspended, as of July 1, 2010, the opportunity for an individual investor partner to request that PDC repurchase their respective limited partnership units.

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 statement 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 and six months ended June 30, 2010, and the cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2010, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period.

Note 2−Recent Accounting Standards

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.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting in Exchange Act Periodic Reports

On July 21, 2010, the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act made permanent the SEC’s non-accelerated filer’s exemption, previously set to expire after December 15, 2010, from compliance with Section 404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, or SOX. Therefore, as a non-accelerated filer, the Partnership is permanently exempted from the SOX requirement that SEC registrants provide an attestation report on the effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting by the registrant’s external auditor.

Note 3−Transactions with Managing General Partner and Affiliates

Ongoing Partnership Business and Operations

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.

Proposed Merger with PDC and DP 2004 Merger Sub, LLC

On June 7, 2010, the Partnership, the Managing General Partner and DP Merger Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of PDC, entered into the Merger Agreement subject to the vote and approval of the holders of a majority of the limited partnership units held by third-party Investor Partners as well as the satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

The Merger Agreement has been approved by PDC’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and by the Special Committee formed by the Board, comprised of four non-employee members of PDC’s Board, to represent the interests of the third-party Investor Partners holding limited partnership units. The Board, on behalf of PDC individually, and the Special Committee, on behalf of PDC in its capacity as the Partnership’s Managing General Partner, have determined that the merger is advisable and in the best interests of PDC and the Partnership, respectively, and reasonably believe that the merger is fair to PDC and the third-party Investor Partners in the Partnership, respectively.

Each member of the Special Committee, on behalf of PDC in its capacity as the Managing General Partner of the Partnership, has relied upon his own business judgment and analysis based on a variety of factors in addition to the financial analysis of an outside financial advisor with respect to the fairness to the third-party Investor Partners’ interests from a financial point of view of the consideration to be received by the third-party Investor Partners pursuant to the Merger Agreement. Also, the Special Committee retained its own legal counsel to advise it regarding the terms of the proposed merger. The Special Committee has recommended that the third-party Investor Partners vote for the limited partnership amendment and the Merger Agreement.

If approved by the third-party Investor Partners and completed, the merger will be retrospectively effective as of May 1, 2010, the separate existence of the Partnership will terminate and the third-party Investor Partner’s will receive a cash payment in the amount of $8,400 per limited partnership unit, less the sum of all per unit cash distributions made after June 30, 2010, and before the transaction closes. Additionally, DP Merger Sub shall be the surviving entity of the merger and shall be wholly-owned by PDC, and the limited partners will have no continuing interest in the Partnership, since the Partnership will cease as a separate business entity.

The Merger Agreement among the Partnership, PDC and its subsidiary DP Merger Sub, may be terminated, and the merger abandoned:

should all parties agree by mutual consent to terminate the agreement;

by any party thereto, should the proposed merger not occur by December 31, 2010;

by any party thereto, should consummation of the merger become illegal or be otherwise prohibited by law or regulation;

PDC 2004-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

by any party thereto, should any suit or action be pending against parties to the agreement challenging the legality or any aspect of the merger transaction;

by the Special Committee, on behalf of the Partnership and prior to approval by third-party Investor Partners, should the Special Committee believe it has received a superior offer that is more favorable to the third-party Investor Partners; or

by PDC or the Partnership, should either PDC or the Partnership fail to perform its obligations under the Merger Agreement and such failure has a non-curable material adverse effect on the PDC or the Partnership, respectively, or materially and adversely affects the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Closing of the merger is conditioned on approval by a majority vote of third-party Investor Partners on both proposals to (1) amend the limited partnership agreement to expressly provide third-party Investor Partners the right to approve merger transactions and (2) approve the Merger Agreement, described above. On July 8, 2010, the Partnership filed a Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A relating to the merger with the SEC. Although there is no assurance of the likelihood or timing of the merger transaction, upon clearance by the SEC, a definitive proxy statement will be mailed to the Partnership’s limited partners. After approval by a majority vote of third-party Investor Partners and the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretaries of State of West Virginia and Delaware, no additional filing or registration with, notification to, or authorization, consent or approval of, any governmental entity will be required in connection with the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement by the Partnership, PDC or DP Merger Sub or the consummation by the Partnership, PDC or DP Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated thereby. Following consummation of the merger, the Partnership will no longer be required to file reports with the SEC, and the third-party Investor Partners will no longer participate in the Partnership’s future earnings or growth.

Regardless of whether the merger is consummated, all costs and expenses incurred by PDC, the Partnership and DP Merger Sub in connection with the merger agreement, shall be paid by PDC.

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 June 30, 2010, the impact of nonperformance risk on the fair value of the Partnership’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 the 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 defaults.

Note 6−Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental

Due to the nature of the natural gas and oil business, the Partnership is exposed to environmental risks. The Managing General Partner has various policies and procedures to avoid environmental contamination and mitigate the risks from environmental contamination. The Managing General Partner conducts periodic reviews to identify changes in the Partnership’s environmental risk profile. Liabilities are accrued when environmental assessments and/or clean-ups are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. As of June 30, 2010, the Partnership had accrued an environmental remediation liability included in Balance Sheet line item captioned “Accounts payable and accrued expenses”. This accrual represents costs estimated to be incurred in addition to normal recurring environmental-related expenditures which have been incurred and recorded at June 30, 2010. During the second quarter of 2010, the Managing General Partner identified existing ground contamination on one well site containing three of the Partnership's wells. The accrual of approximately $0.3 million is the estimated cost attributable to the Partnership, based principally on third party bids, to remediate the ground contamination. The Managing General Partner is not aware of any environmental claims existing as of June 30, 2010, which have not been provided for or would otherwise have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial statements. However, there can be no assurance that current regulatory requirements will not change or unknown past contamination or non-compliance with environmental laws will not be discovered on the Partnership’s properties.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2010

(unaudited)

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 11 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 the effect of market fluctuations in the prices of natural gas and oil. The Managing General Partner employs established policies and procedures to manage the risks associated with these market fluctuations by utilizing derivative instruments. Should the counterparties to the Managing General Partner's derivative instruments not perform, the Partnership's exposure to market fluctuations in commodity prices would increase significantly. The Managing General Partner and the Partnership have had no counterparty defaults.

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

Partnership Overview

PDC 2004-A Limited Partnership engages in the development, production and sale of natural gas and oil. The Partnership began natural gas and oil operations in April 2004 and currently operates 37 gross (31.7 net) wells located in the Rocky Mountain Region in the state of Colorado. Of the Partnership’s total well count, 36 are producing and one Wattenberg Field well is not producing due to mechanical problems. 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 does not charge an additional fee for the marketing of the natural gas and oil because these services are covered by the monthly well operating charge. PDC, on behalf of the Partnership in accordance with the D&O Agreement, is authorized to 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.

Well Recompletion Plan

The Managing General Partner has developed a plan to initiate recompletion activities during 2011. This plan includes notifying investor partners that in October 2010, funds to begin these recompletions may be withheld from future distributable cash flows of the Partnership resulting from both current production and any increased production due to recompletion activities. The funds retained that 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, 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 Partnership distributions. The Managing General Partner believes that, based on projected recompletion costs and projected cash withholding, all partnership recompletions will be completed within a five year period. Current estimated costs for these well recompletions are between $150,000 and $200,000 per recompletion. This Partnership potentially has 24 well recompletion opportunities. Total withholding for these activities from the Partnership’s distributable cash flows is estimated to total between $3.6 million and $4.8 million. The Managing General Partner will re-evaluate the feasibility of commencing any or all of these recompletion opportunities based on engineering data and a favorable commodity price environment in order to maximize the financial benefit of the recompletion.

Implementation of the Well Recompletion Plan would reduce or eliminate Partnership distributions to investors while the work is being conducted and paid for. Depending upon the level of withholding and the results of operations, it is possible that investors could have taxable income from the Partnership without any corresponding distributions in the future. Investor Partners are urged to consult a tax advisor to determine all of the relevant federal, state and local tax consequences of the Well Recompletion Plan. The above discussion is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning, and third-party Investor Partners should depend upon the advice of their own tax advisors concerning the effects of the Well Recompletion Plan.

The above discussion is not intended as a substitute for careful tax planning, and third-party Investor Partners should depend upon the advice of their own tax advisors concerning the effects of the potential merger.

On July 1, the Managing General Partner suspended the opportunity for an individual third-party Investor Partner to request that PDC repurchase their respective limited partnership units under the terms of the program, pending the outcome of the proposed Merger Agreement.

The Managing General Partner, PDC, can provide no assurance that the proposed merger of the Partnership with and into PDC’s wholly-owned subsidiary DP Merger Sub, will be approved by third-party Investor Partners or that the other conditions to the completion of the merger will be satisfied or that the merger will ever be consummated. If the merger is not completed, the anticipated third-party Investor Partner merger benefits that include unit liquidity and elimination of Schedule K-1 tax reports in the Partnership will not be realized and the Partnership will continue the existing business plan to optimally develop and cost-effectively operate the Partnership’s natural gas and oil reserves. This plan would encompass the finalization and implementation of the Well Completion Plan, more fully outlined above.

Partnership Operating Results Overview

Natural gas and oil sales increased 60% or $0.5 million for the first six months of 2010 compared to the first six months of 2009, even though production volumes decreased 5% period-to-period. This increase was driven primarily by the improved commodity price environment and the increase in the Partnership’s oil production as a percentage of total production. The average sales price per Mcfe, excluding the impact of realized derivative gains, was $5.18 for the current year period compared to $3.07 for the same period a year ago. Realized derivative gains from natural gas and oil sales contributed an additional $1.33 per Mcfe or $0.4 million to the first six months of 2010 total revenues. Comparatively, the total per Mcfe price realized, consisting of the average sales price and realized derivative gains, increased marginally to $6.51 for the current year six months from $6.44 for the same prior year period.

Natural gas and oil production and well operations costs increased by $0.3 million for the six month period ending June 30, 2010, compared to the same prior year period. The $0.3 million increase is primarily the result of accruing for environmental remediation costs during the period.

Natural Gas and Oil Sales

Six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2009

The $0.5 million, or 60% increase in total sales for the 2010 six month period as compared to the prior year period, was primarily a reflection of the significantly higher average sales price per Mcfe of 69%, which was partially offset by a production volume decrease of 5%. The average sales price per Mcfe, excluding the impact of realized derivative gains, was $5.18 for the current year six month period compared to $3.07 for the same period a year ago.

The increase in natural gas revenues of 55% contrasts to the more significant increase in oil revenues of 73%. The Partnership’s oil revenue increase was bolstered by increased oil production volumes, per Bbl of 7% as compared to the decline in natural gas production volumes, per Mcf of 7% during the current six month period.

Three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2009

The $0.2 million, or 35% increase in total sales for the 2010 second quarter as compared to the prior year second quarter was primarily a reflection of the higher average sales price per Mcfe of 51%, which was partially offset by production volume decrease of 11%. Average sales prices per Mcfe, excluding the impact of realized derivative gains, were $4.34 for the current year quarter compared to $2.87 for the same quarter a year ago.

The Partnership expects to experience 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 on PDC’s ability to market the Partnership’s production effectively. Natural gas and oil prices are among the most volatile of all commodity prices. This price volatility has 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 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 local market oversupply situations 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. Oil pricing, unlike natural gas pricing, is driven predominantly by global supply and demand relationships.

The price at which PDC markets the natural gas produced in the Rocky Mountain Region by the Partnership 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 regional 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 the last year and is lower than historical variances. This negative differential between NYMEX and CIG averaged $1.13 and $1.38 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, and narrowed to an average of $0.48 and $0.32 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

Commodity Price Risk Management, Net

The Managing General Partner is authorized to utilize 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.

Six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2009

The realized derivative gains for the 2010 six month period were $0.4 million. These realized gains were primarily a result of lower natural gas and oil spot prices at settlement compared to the respective strike price, offset in part by realized losses due to the basis differential between NYMEX and CIG being narrower than the strike price of the derivative position. For the six month period, realized gains related to natural gas and oil derivatives were $0.5 million and realized losses on the Partnership’s CIG basis swaps were $0.1 million. Unrealized gains on the Partnership’s natural gas and oil positions for the six months period were $0.9 million due primarily to a downward shift in the natural gas and oil forward curves.

For the 2009 six month period, the Partnership realized significant derivative gains as a result of lower natural gas and oil prices at settlement compared to the respective derivative strike prices. Unrealized losses for the period were primarily related to oil swaps, as the forward strip price of oil rebounded during the period, and the CIG basis swaps, as the forward basis differential during the period between NYMEX and CIG continued to narrow from the strike price of the derivative position.

Three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2009

The realized derivative gains for the 2010 second quarter were approximately $50,000. These realized gains are a result of lower natural gas and oil spot prices at settlement compared to the respective strike price, offset in part by realized losses due to the basis differential between NYMEX and CIG being narrower than the strike price of the derivative position. For the quarter, realized gains related to natural gas and oil derivatives were $0.2 million and realized losses on the Partnership’s CIG basis swaps were $0.1 million. For the 2010 second quarter, the unrealized gains were primarily related to the oil positions, as the forward strip price shifted downward during the quarter, and the widening of the NYMEX-CIG basis differential. Unrealized gains on the Partnership’s oil positions and CIG basis swaps for the 2010 second quarter were $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively.

Unrealized losses for the period were primarily related to oil swaps, as the forward strip price of oil rebounded during the period, and the CIG basis swaps, as the forward basis differential during the period between NYMEX and CIG continued to narrow from the strike price of the derivative position.

Natural Gas and Oil Sales Derivative Instruments. The Managing General Partner on behalf of the Partnership in accordance with the D&O Agreement, is authorized to utilize various derivative instruments to manage volatility in natural gas and oil prices. The Partnership has in place a series of collars, fixed-price swaps and basis swaps on a portion of the Partnership’s natural gas and oil production. See Note 5, Derivative Financial Instruments to the Partnership’s financial statements included in the 2009 Form 10-K for an additional discussion on how each derivative type impacts the Partnership’s cash flows.

(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. Production taxes are estimates by the Managing General Partner based on tax rates determined using published information. These estimates are subject to revision based on actual amounts determined during future filings by the Managing General Partner with the taxing authorities. Production 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, environmental remediation and service rig workovers.

PDC 2004-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

(A West Virginia Limited Partnership)

Six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2009

For the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, natural gas and oil production, on an energy equivalency-basis, decreased 5%, which reflects overall, the normally-occurring production declines throughout a natural gas and oil well’s production life cycles. Production and operating costs were higher by approximately $0.3 million, or 91%, primarily due to accruing environmental remediation costs in 2010 and higher 2010 well operations costs as a result of the increase in the per well operations fee charged by the Managing General Partner, consistent with the terms of the D&O Agreement. Production and operating costs per Mcfe were $2.39 for the six months ended June 30 of 2010 compared to $1.19 for the comparable period in 2009.

Three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2009

For the quarter ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, natural gas and oil production on an energy equivalency-basis, decreased 11%, primarily as a result of reduced performance by the Partnership’s Grand Valley wells due to higher fluid production as well as expected normally-occurring production life-cycle decline in both operating fields. Natural gas and oil production costs increased approximately $0.3 million, or 168%, primarily due to accruing environmental remediation costs in the quarter, production tax increases on higher commodity valuations and higher Grand Valley lease operating costs due to higher fluid hauling expenditures and well workover costs. Production and operating costs per Mcfe were $3.65 and $1.22 for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Direct Costs−General and Administrative

Six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2009

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 six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to the same period in 2009, by approximately $0.1 million principally due to reduced billings for professional services.

Three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2009

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 June 30, 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 June 30, 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, in the fourth quarter of 2009, of the SEC’s final rule regarding the modernization of oil and gas reporting, the Partnership changed to a valuation price determined by the 12-month average of the first-day-of-the-month price during each month of 2009.

Index

PDC 2004-A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

(A West Virginia Limited Partnership)

Six months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2009

The DD&A expense rate per Mcfe increased to $3.69 for the 2010 six month period, compared to $3.27 during the same period in 2009, as calculated by the respective methodologies described above. The increase in the per Mcfe rates for the 2010 period compared to the 2009 period is primarily the 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 higher DD&A rates due to the effects of lower proved developed producing reserves at December 31, 2009 compared to December 31, 2008. These increased rates, which partially offset the effect of somewhat lower production volumes, resulted in the DD&A expense increase of approximately $0.1 million for the 2010 six month period compared to the same 2009 period.

Three months ended June 30, 2010 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2009

The DD&A expense rate per Mcfe increased to $3.74 for the 2010 second quarter, compared to $3.18 during the same quarter in 2009 as calculated by the respective methodologies described above. The variance in the per Mcfe rates for the 2010 second quarter compared to the 2009 second quarter is a result of the combined effects of the changing production mix between fields and lower proved developed producing reserves noted above. These increased rates, which were partially offset by an 11% decline in production volumes, resulted in the DD&A expense increase of approximately $27,000 for the 2010 second quarter compared to the same 2009 quarter.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

The Partnership’s primary sources of cash for both the three and the six months ended June 30, 2010 were from funds provided by operating activities which include 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 costs, 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 attempts to manage 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 June 30, 2010, the Partnership had natural gas and oil derivative positions in place covering 78% of expected natural gas production and 79% of expected oil production for the remainder of 2010, at an average price of $4.08 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 in the rate of production over the remaining lives of the wells. Therefore, the Partnership anticipates 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, and may substantially reduce or restrict the Partnership’s ability to participate in the Well Recompletion Plan activities which are more fully described in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations−Well Recompletion Plan. Future cash distributions, in the event that the proposed Merger Agreement is not completed, may also be reduced to fund the Wattenberg Field Codell formation well recompletions.

Working Capital

Working capital at June 30, 2010 was $0.3 million compared to working capital of $0.7 million at December 31, 2009. This decrease of $0.4 million was primarily due to the following changes in accounts receivable or payable balances:

Natural gas and oil receivables decreased to $0.4 million as of June 30, 2010, from $0.5 million as of December 31, 2009.

Realized derivative gains receivables decreased by $0.3 million as of June 30, 2010.

Net short-term unrealized derivative gains receivable increased to $0.1 million as of June 30, 2010.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased by $0.3 million as of June 30, 2010, due to the environmental remediation accrual.

Decrease in Due to Managing General Partner-other, net, excluding natural gas and oil sales received from third parties and realized derivative gains, to a $0.1 million liability as of June 30, 2010, from a $0.3 million liability as of December 31, 2009, due to Partnership pay down to Managing General Partner.

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 $6,000 and $10,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

The Partnership initiated monthly cash distributions to investors in November 2004 and has distributed $34.2 million through June 30, 2010. The table below presents the cash distributions to the Managing General Partner and Investor Partners, including Managing General Partner distributions relating to limited partnership units repurchased, for the periods described.

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $1.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010, compared to $1.7 million for the comparable period in 2009. The approximately $0.2 million decrease in cash provided by operating activities was due primarily to the following:

An increase in natural gas and oil sales receipts of $0.4 million, or 40%, accompanied by a decrease in direct costs – general and administrative of $0.1 million, or 67%;

A decrease in commodity price risk management realized gains receipts of $0.5 million or 43% and an increase in natural gas and oil production costs of approximately $0.3 million, or 91%.
