RIDGEWOOD ENERGY K FUND, LLC

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Purpose

The Ridgewood Energy K Fund, LLC ( the “Fund”), a Delaware limited liability company, was formed on March 1, 2004 and operates pursuant to a limited liability company agreement (the “LLC Agreement”) dated April 1, 2004 by and among Ridgewood Energy Corporation (the “Manager”) and the shareholders of the Fund. The Fund was organized to acquire interests in oil and gas properties located in the United States offshore waters of Texas, Louisiana and Alabama in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Manager has direct and exclusive control over the management of the Fund’s operations. With respect to project investments, the Manager locates potential projects, conducts due diligence and negotiates and completes the transactions in which the investments are made. The Manager performs, or arranges for the performance of, the management, advisory and administrative services required for Fund operations. Such services include, without limitation, the administration of shareholder accounts, shareholder relations and the preparation, review and dissemination of tax and other financial information. In addition, the Manager provides office space, equipment and facilities and other services necessary for Fund operations. The Manager also engages and manages the contractual relations with unaffiliated custodians, depositories, accountants, attorneys, broker-dealers, corporate fiduciaries, insurers, banks and others as required. See Notes 2, 6 and 8.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited interim condensed financial statements have been prepared by the Fund’s management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the Fund’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted in these unaudited interim condensed financial statements. The results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the periods presented herein are not necessarily indicative of future financial results. These unaudited interim condensed financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s December 31, 2010 financial statements and notes thereto included in the Fund’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Manager reviews its estimates, including those related to property balances, determination of proved reserves, impairments and asset retirement obligations. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

All highly liquid investments with maturities, when purchased, of three months or less are considered cash and cash equivalents. At times, deposits may be in excess of federally insured limits, which, for interest bearing deposits, are $250 thousand per insured financial institution. Additionally, non-interest bearing deposits are fully insured through December 31, 2012, after which they will be included within the $250 thousand limit. At June 30, 2011, the Fund’s bank balances exceeded federally insured limits by $1.5 million, all of which was invested in money market accounts that invest solely in U.S. Treasury bills and notes.

Salvage Fund

The Fund deposits in a separate interest-bearing account, or salvage fund, money to provide for the dismantling and removal of production platforms and facilities and plugging and abandoning its wells at the end of their useful lives, in accordance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations. At June 30, 2011, the Fund had investments in U.S. Treasury securities within its salvage fund that are classified as held-to-maturity of $1.1 million, which mature in February 2012. Held-to-maturity investments are those securities that the Fund has the ability and intent to hold until maturity, and are recorded at cost plus accrued income, adjusted for the amortization of premiums and discounts, which approximates fair value. For all investments, interest income is accrued as earned and amortization of premium or discount, if any, is included in interest income. Interest earned on the account will become part of the salvage fund. There are no restrictions on withdrawals from the salvage fund.

Table of Contents

Oil and Gas Properties

The Fund invests in oil and gas properties, which are operated by unaffiliated entities that are responsible for drilling, administering and producing activities pursuant to the terms of the applicable operating agreements with working interest owners. The Fund's portion of exploration, drilling, operating and capital equipment expenditures is billed by operators.

The successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities is followed. Acquisition costs are capitalized when incurred. Other oil and gas exploration costs, excluding the costs of drilling exploratory wells, are charged to expense as incurred. The costs of drilling exploratory wells are capitalized pending the determination of whether the wells have discovered proved commercial reserves. If proved commercial reserves have not been found, exploratory drilling costs are expensed as dry-hole costs. Costs to develop proved reserves, including the costs of all development wells and related facilities and equipment used in the production of oil and gas, are capitalized. Expenditures for ongoing repairs and maintenance of producing properties are expensed as incurred.

Upon the sale or retirement of a proved property, the cost and related accumulated depletion and amortization will be eliminated from the property accounts, and the resultant gain or loss is recognized. Upon the sale or retirement of an unproved property, gain or loss on the sale is recognized.

Capitalized acquisition costs of producing oil and gas properties are depleted by the units-of-production method.

Advances to Operators for Working Interests and Expenditures

The Fund’s acquisition of a working interest in a well or a project requires it to make a payment to the seller for the Fund’s rights, title and interest. The Fund may be required to advance its share of estimated cash expenditures for the succeeding month’s operation. The Fund accounts for such payments as advances to operators for working interests and expenditures. As drilling costs are incurred, the advances are reclassified to unproved or proved properties.

Asset Retirement Obligations

For oil and gas properties, there are obligations to perform removal and remediation activities when the properties are retired. When a project reaches drilling depth and is determined to be either proved or dry, an asset retirement obligation is incurred. Plug and abandonment costs associated with unsuccessful projects are expensed as dry-hole costs. As indicated above, the Fund maintains a salvage fund to provide for the funding of future asset retirement obligations.

Syndication Costs

Syndication costs are direct costs incurred by the Fund in connection with the offering of the Fund’s shares, including professional fees, selling expenses and administrative costs payable to the Manager, an affiliate of the Manager and unaffiliated broker-dealers, which are reflected on the Fund’s balance sheet as a reduction of shareholders’ capital.

Revenue Recognition and Imbalances

Oil and gas revenues are recognized when oil and gas is sold to a purchaser at a fixed or determinable price, when delivery has occurred and title has transferred, and if collectibility of the revenue is probable. The Fund uses the sales method of accounting for gas production imbalances. The volumes of gas sold may differ from the volumes to which the Fund is entitled based on its interests in the properties. These differences create imbalances that are recognized as a liability only when the properties’ estimated remaining reserves net to the Fund will not be sufficient to enable the underproduced owner to recoup its entitled share through production. The Fund’s recorded liability, if any, would be reflected in other liabilities. No receivables are recorded for those wells where the Fund has taken less than its share of production.

Table of Contents

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Fund reviews the value of its oil and gas properties whenever management determines that events and circumstances indicate that the recorded carrying value of properties may not be recoverable. Impairments of producing properties are determined by comparing future net undiscounted cash flows to the net book value at the time of the review. If the net book value exceeds the future net undiscounted cash flows, the carrying value of the property is written down to fair value, which is determined using net discounted future cash flows from the producing property. The Fund provides for impairments on unproved properties when it determines that the property will not be developed or a permanent impairment in value has occurred. The fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to change. Different pricing assumptions, reserve estimates or discount rates could result in a different calculated impairment. Given the volatility of oil and natural gas prices, it is reasonably possible that the Fund’s estimate of discounted future net cash flows from proved oil and natural gas reserves could change in the near term. If oil and natural gas prices decline significantly, even if only for a short period of time, it is possible that write-downs of oil and gas properties could occur.

Depletion and Amortization

Depletion and amortization of the cost of proved oil and gas properties are calculated using the units-of-production method. Proved developed reserves are used as the base for depleting capitalized costs associated with successful exploratory well costs. The sum of proved developed and proved undeveloped reserves is used as the base for depleting or amortizing leasehold acquisition costs, the costs to acquire proved properties and platform and pipeline costs.

Income Taxes

No provision is made for income taxes in the financial statements. The Fund is a limited liability company, and as such, the Fund’s income or loss is passed through and included in the tax returns of the Fund’s shareholders.

Income and Expense Allocation

Profits and losses are allocated 85% to shareholders in proportion to their relative capital contributions and 15% to the Manager, except for interest income and certain expenses such as dry-hole costs, trust fees, depletion and amortization, which are allocated 99% to shareholders and 1% to the Manager.

3. Recent Accounting Standards

In January 2010, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance on improving disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance has new requirements for disclosures related to recurring or nonrecurring fair-value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair-value measurements and information on purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in a rollforward reconciliation of Level 3 fair-value measurements. This guidance was effective beginning January 1, 2010. The Level 3 reconciliation disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, which will be effective for the Fund’s financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2011. The adoption of the guidance is not expected to have a material impact.

4. Oil and Gas Properties

Leasehold acquisition and exploratory drilling costs are capitalized pending determination of whether the well has found proved reserves. Unproved properties are assessed on a quarterly basis by evaluating and monitoring if sufficient progress is made on assessing the reserves. At June 30, 2011, the Fund had no unproved properties with capitalized exploratory well costs in excess of one year.

Capitalized exploratory well costs are expensed as dry-hole costs in the event that reserves are not found or are not in sufficient quantities to complete the well and develop the field. At times, the Fund receives credits on certain wells from their respective operators upon review and audit of the wells’ costs. Dry-hole costs of $0.1 million, inclusive of such credits, for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, related to asset retirement obligations for fully depleted wells. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund recorded credits to dry-hole costs of $1 thousand.

Table of Contents

5. Distributions

Distributions to shareholders are allocated in proportion to the number of shares held. The Manager determines whether available cash from operations, as defined in the LLC Agreement, will be distributed. Such distributions are allocated 85% to the shareholders and 15% to the Manager, as required by the LLC Agreement. During 2006, the Manager elected to waive its right to distributions of available cash from operations for the remaining life of the Fund.

Available cash from dispositions, as defined in the LLC Agreement, will be paid 99% to shareholders and 1% to the Manager until the shareholders have received total distributions equal to their capital contributions. After shareholders have received distributions equal to their capital contributions, 85% of available cash from dispositions will be distributed to shareholders and 15% to the Manager.

6. Related Parties

In accordance with the LLC Agreement, the Manager is entitled to an annual management fee equal to 2.5% of the total shareholder capital. During 2005, the Manager waived its management fee for the remaining life of the Fund. Upon the waiver of the management fee, the Fund began recording costs relating to services provided by the Manager for accounting and investor relations. Such costs, which are included in general and administrative expenses, totaled $10 thousand and $20 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $20 thousand and $40 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

At times, short-term payables and receivables, which do not bear interest, arise from transactions with affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

None of the compensation paid to the Manager has been derived as a result of arm’s length negotiations.

The Fund has working interest ownership in certain projects to acquire and develop oil and natural gas projects with other entities that are likewise managed by the Manager.

7. Fair Value Measurements

At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, cash and cash equivalents, production receivable, salvage fund, accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value.

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Capital Commitments

The Fund has entered into multiple agreements for the drilling and development of its investment properties. The estimated capital expenditures associated with these agreements vary depending on the stage of development on a property-by-property basis. As of June 30, 2011, the Fund had committed to spend an additional $1.6 million related to its investment properties, of which $1.2 million is expected to be spent during the next twelve months.

Environmental Considerations

The exploration for and development of oil and natural gas involves the extraction, production and transportation of materials which, under certain conditions, can be hazardous or cause environmental pollution problems. The Manager and operators of the Fund’s properties are continually taking action they believe appropriate to satisfy applicable federal, state and local environmental regulations and do not currently anticipate that compliance with federal, state and local environmental regulations will have a material adverse effect upon capital expenditures, results of operations or the competitive position of the Fund in the oil and gas industry. However, due to the significant public and governmental interest in environmental matters related to those activities, the Manager cannot predict the effects of possible future legislation, rule changes, or governmental or private claims. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, there were no known environmental contingencies that required the Fund to record a liability.

In response to the April 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the United States Congress is considering a number of legislative proposals relating to the upstream oil and gas industry both onshore and offshore. Such proposals could result in significant additional laws or regulations governing the Fund’s operations in the United States, including a proposal to raise or eliminate the cap on liability for oil spill cleanups under the Oil Pollution Act of 1990. Although it is not possible at this time to predict whether proposed legislation or regulations will be adopted as initially written, if at all, or how legislation or new regulation that may be adopted would impact our business, any such future laws and regulations could result in increased compliance costs or additional operating restrictions, which could have a material adverse effect on the Fund’s operating results and cash flows.

Table of Contents

Insurance Coverage

The Fund is subject to all risks inherent in the exploration for and development of oil and natural gas. Insurance coverage as is customary for entities engaged in similar operations is maintained, but losses may occur from uninsurable risks or amounts in excess of existing insurance coverage. The occurrence of an event that is not insured or not fully insured could have an adverse impact upon earnings and financial position. Moreover, insurance is obtained as a package covering all of the funds managed by the Manager. Claims made by other funds managed by the Manager can reduce or eliminate insurance for the Fund.

9. Subsequent Events

The Fund has assessed the impact of subsequent events through the date of issuance of its financial statements, and has concluded that there were no such events that require adjustment to, or disclosure in, the notes to the financial statements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) and the documents Ridgewood Energy K Fund, LLC (the “Fund”) has incorporated by reference into this Quarterly Report, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to the Fund’s business plans, strategies, objectives and expected operating results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are based on current expectations and assumptions and are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. You are therefore cautioned against relying on any such forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by words such as “believe,” “project,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “strategy,” “plan,” “target,” “pursue,” “may,” “will,” “will likely result,” and similar expressions and references to future periods. Examples of events that could cause actual results to differ materially from historical results or those anticipated include weather conditions, such as hurricanes, changes in market conditions affecting the pricing of oil and natural gas, the cost and availability of equipment, and changes in governmental regulations. Examples of forward-looking statements made herein include statements regarding future projects, investments and insurance. Forward-looking statements made in this document speak only as of the date on which they are made. The Fund undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The following discussion and analysis of the Fund’s financial condition and operating results is based on its financial statements. The preparation of this Quarterly Report requires the Fund to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Fund’s financial statements, and the reported amount of revenue and expense during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates and assumptions. See “Notes to Unaudited Condensed Financial Statements” in Part I of this Quarterly Report for a presentation of the Fund’s significant accounting policies. No changes have been made to the Fund’s critical accounting policies and estimates disclosed in its 2010 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Overview of the Fund’s Business

The Fund is a Delaware limited liability company formed on March 1, 2004 to primarily acquire interests in oil and gas properties located in the United States offshore waters of Texas, Louisiana and Alabama in the Gulf of Mexico. Ridgewood Energy Corporation (“Ridgewood Energy” or the “Manager”) a Delaware corporation, is the Manager. As the Manager, Ridgewood Energy has direct and exclusive control over the management of the Fund’s operations. The Fund’s primary investment objective is to generate cash flow for distribution to its shareholders by generating returns across a portfolio of exploratory or development oil and natural gas projects. However, the Fund is not required to make distributions to shareholders except as provided in the Fund’s limited liability company agreement (the “LLC Agreement").

The Manager performs certain duties on the Fund’s behalf including the evaluation of potential projects for investment and ongoing management, administrative and advisory services associated with these projects. The Fund does not currently, nor is there any plan to operate any project in which the Fund participates. The Manager enters into operating agreements with third-party operators for the management of all exploration, development and producing operations, as appropriate.

Revenues are subject to market pricing for oil and natural gas, which has been volatile, and is likely to continue to be volatile in the future. This volatility is caused by numerous factors and market conditions that the Fund cannot control or influence. Therefore, it is impossible to predict the future price of oil and natural gas with any certainty. Low commodity prices could have an adverse affect on the Fund’s future profitability.

During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Fund had three wells that produced for a total of 227 days, compared to six wells that produced for a total of 355 days during the three months ended June 30, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Fund had four wells that produced for a total of 410 days, compared to six wells that produced for a total of 735 days during the six months ended June 30, 2010. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the Fund's wells' production rate averaged 44 mcfe/producing day, compared to 140 mcfe/producing day during the three months ended June 30, 2010. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Fund's wells' production rate averaged 57 mcfe/producing day, compared to 164 mcfe/producing day during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decreases in total production days and average mcfe/producing day were primarily related three of the Fund’s wells, which reached the end of their productive lives. One of the Fund’s wells was determined to be fully depleted during the second quarter 2011 and two Fund’s wells were determined to be fully depleted at December 31, 2010.

Oil and Gas Revenue. Oil and gas revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.1 million, an $80 thousand decrease from the three months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreased sales volume.

Oil sales volumes were 191 barrels and 400 barrels during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Fund’s oil prices averaged $112 per barrel during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $80 per barrel during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Gas sales volumes were 8 thousand mcf and 27 thousand mcf for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Fund’s gas prices averaged $4.57 per mcf during the three months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $4.43 per mcf during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

Oil and gas revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $0.2 million, a $0.4 million decrease from the six months ended June 30, 2010. The decrease is primarily attributable to decreased sales volume.

Oil sales volumes were 656 barrels and 800 barrels during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Fund’s oil prices averaged $101 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $78 per barrel during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

Gas sales volumes were 17 thousand mcf and 90 thousand mcf for the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The Fund’s gas prices averaged $4.46 per mcf during the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to $5.12 per mcf during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

The decreases in oil and gas volumes were primarily related to three of the Fund’s wells, which reached the end of their productive lives. One of the Fund’s wells was determined to be fully depleted during the second quarter 2011 and two Fund’s wells were determined to be fully depleted at December 31, 2010.

Depletion and Amortization. Depletion and amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 was $39 thousand and $0.1 million, respectively, a decrease of $0.1 million and $0.4 million from the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The decreases resulted primarily from decreases in production volumes.

Dry-hole Costs. Dry-hole costs are those costs incurred to drill and develop a well that is ultimately found to be incapable of producing either oil or natural gas in sufficient quantities to justify completion of the well. At times, the Fund receives credits on certain wells from their respective operators upon review and audit of the wells’ costs. Dry-hole costs of $0.1 million, inclusive of such credits, for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, related to asset retirement obligations for fully depleted wells. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund recorded credits to dry-hole costs of $1 thousand.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses represent costs specifically identifiable or allocable to the Fund's wells, as detailed in the following table.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Operating Cash Flows

Cash flows used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $0.1 million, primarily related to operating expenses paid of $0.2 million coupled with general and administrative expenses of $0.1 million, partially offset by revenue received of $0.2 million.

Cash flows provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $0.3 million, primarily related to revenue received of $0.7 million, partially offset by operating expenses of $0.2 million and general and administrative expenses of $0.1 million.

Investing Cash Flows

Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $0.2 million, primarily related to capital expenditures for oil and gas properties.

Cash flows used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $0.2 million, primarily related to capital expenditures for oil and gas properties, inclusive of advances.

Financing Cash Flows

There were no cash flows from financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Cash flows used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 were $0.4 million, related to shareholder distributions.

Estimated Capital Expenditures

The Fund has entered into multiple agreements for the acquisition, drilling and development of its investment properties. The estimated capital expenditures associated with these agreements can vary depending on the stage of development on a property-by-property basis. As of June 30, 2011, the Fund had committed to spend an additional $1.6 million related to its investment properties, of which $1.2 million is expected to be spent during the next twelve months.

Capital expenditures for investment properties are funded with the capital raised by the Fund in its private placement offering, which is all the capital it will obtain. The number of projects in which the Fund can invest is limited, and each unsuccessful project the Fund experiences exhausts its capital and reduces its ability to generate revenue.

Liquidity Needs

The Fund’s primary short-term liquidity needs are to fund its operations, inclusive of expenditures for its investment properties. Operations are funded utilizing operating income, existing cash on-hand and income earned therefrom. The Fund has neared the end of its investment cycle. In the event of a temporary production stoppage, causing the Fund’s wells to not produce cash flow from operations, the Fund may borrow from the Manager until such time that production is resumed. At such time the Manager determines that the Fund is no longer capable of continuing to fund its operations, the Manager would elect to dissolve the Fund.

Distributions, if any, are funded from available cash from operations, as defined in the LLC Agreement, and the frequency and amount are within the Manager’s discretion.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Fund had no off-balance sheet arrangements at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 and does not anticipate the use of such arrangements in the future.

Contractual Obligations

The Fund enters into participation and joint operating agreements with operators. On behalf of the Fund, an operator enters into various contractual commitments pertaining to exploration, development and production activities. The Fund does not negotiate such contracts. No contractual obligations exist at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 other than those discussed in “Estimated Capital Expenditures” above.
