Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)







1.	Accounting Policies



Reference is hereby made to the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2002, which contains a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Partnership in the preparation of its financial statements.  These policies were also followed in preparing the quarterly report included herein except as noted below.



2.	Basis of Presentation



The Management of the Partnership believes that all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to a fair statement of the results of such periods have been made.  The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2003 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.



3.	Oil and Gas Properties



The Partnership follows the successful efforts method of accounting for the cost of exploring for and developing oil and gas reserves.  Under this method, costs of development wells, including equipment and intangible drilling costs related to both producing wells and developmental dry holes, and successful exploratory wells are capitalized and amortized on an annual basis to operations by the units-of-production method using estimated proved developed reserves which will be determined at year end by an independent petroleum engineer.  If a determination is made that an exploratory well has not discovered economically producible reserves, then its costs are expensed as dry hole costs.



4.	Revenue Recognition



Sales of natural gas and oil are recognized when sold.



5.	Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities



The Managing General Partner utilizes commodity based derivative instruments as hedges to manage a portion of the Partnership's exposure to price volatility stemming from natural gas production. These instruments consist of costless collars and option contracts traded based on the Colorado Interstate Gas Index (CIG).  The costless collars and option contracts hedge committed and anticipated natural gas sales generally forecasted to occur within a 12 month period. The Managing General Partner does not hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.



6.	Change in Accounting Principle



In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standard Board issued SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" that requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation in the period in which it is incurred and a corresponding increase in the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. The Partnership adopted SFAS No. 143 on January 1, 2003 and recorded a net asset of $5,579 and a related liability of $6,226 (using a 6% discount rate) and a cumulative effect on change in accounting principle on prior years of $647.

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



Liquidity and Capital Resources



The Partnership was funded on September 9, 2002 with initial Limited and Additional General Partner contributions of $11,180,426 and the Managing General Partner's cash contribution of $2,431,743 in accordance with the Agreement.   After payment of syndication costs of $1,173,945 and a one-time management fee to the managing general partner of $279,511, the Partnership had available cash of  $12,158,713 for Partnership activities.



The Partnership began exploration and development activities subsequent to the funding of the Partnership and completed these activities by December 31, 2002. Fourteen wells have been drilled, all of which have been completed as producers.  No additional wells will be drilled.



The Partnership had net working capital at June 30, 2003 of $458,564.



Operations are expected to be conducted with available funds and revenues generated from oil and gas activities.  No bank borrowings are anticipated.

Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2003



Oil and gas sales for the three months ended June 30, 2003 were $652,888.  The volume of natural gas sold for the three months ended June 30, 2003, was 118,321 Mcf at an average sales price of $3.85 per Mcf.  Oil sales were 6,888 barrels at an average sales price of $28.57per barrel for the three months ended June 30, 2003.  The Lifting cost for the three months ended June 30, 2003 was $0.64 per Mcfe.  While the Partnership experienced a net income of $182,470, depreciation, depletion and amortization is a non-cash expense and therefore the Partnership distributed $613,360 to the partners during the three months ending June 30, 2003.



Six months ended June 30, 2003



Oil and gas sales for the six months ended June 30, 2003 were $1,349,647.  The volume of natural gas sold for the six months ended June 30, 2003, was 244,697 Mcf at an average sales price of $3.66 per Mcf.  Oil sales were 14,696 barrels at an average sales price of $30.85 per barrel for the six months ended June 30, 2003.  The Lifting cost for the six months ended June 30, 2003 was $0.61 per Mcfe.  While the Partnership experienced a net income of $377,165, depreciation, depletion and amortization is a non-cash expense and therefore the Partnership distributed $819,148 to the partners during the six months ending June 30, 2003.



The Partnership's revenues from oil and gas will be affected by changes in prices.  As a result of changes in federal regulations, gas prices are highly dependent on the balance between supply and demand.  The Partnership's gas sales prices are subject to increase and decrease based on various market sensitive indices.

Critical Accounting Policies



Certain accounting policies are very important to the portrayal of Partnership's financial condition and results of operations and require management's most subjective or complex judgments.  The policies are as follows:









-6-







PDC 2002-B LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

(A West Virginia Limited Partnership)



Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)



Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Partnership assesses impairment of capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties by comparing net capitalized costs to undiscounted future cash flows on a field-by-field basis using expected prices. Prices utilized in each year's calculation for measurement purposes and expected costs are held constant throughout the life of the properties. If net capitalized costs exceed undiscounted future net cash flow, the measurement of impairment is based on estimated fair value which would consider future discounted cash flows.



The judgment used in applying the above policies are based on management's evaluation of the relevant facts and circumstances as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates. See additional discussions in this Management's Discussion and Analysis.



Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualititive Disclosure About Market Rate Risk



Market-Sensitive Instruments and Risk Management



The Partnership's primary market risk exposure is commodity price risk.  This exposure is discussed in detail below:



Commodity Price Risk



Natural gas and oil prices have been unusually volatile for the past few years, and the Partnership anticipates continued volatility in the future.  Currently, the NYMEX futures reflect a market expectation of gas prices at Henry Hub close to or above record prices per million Btu's (Mmbtu). These prices look strong for the remainder of the year with natural gas storage levels at five-year low levels. The Managing General Partner believes this situation creates the possibility of both periods of low prices and continued high prices.



Natural gas prices in Colorado remained low for most of 2002. In the fourth quarter of 2002 and continuing in the first six months of 2003, Colorado prices began to increase, although they continue to trail prices in other areas. The Managing General Partner believes the low prices in the Rocky Mountain Region, including Colorado, result from increasing local supplies that exceed the local demand and pipeline capacity available to move gas from the region. On May 1st of 2003, the Kern River pipeline expansion was completed and placed into service. The Kern River Pipeline Company has announced that the additional facilities will add about 900 million cubic feet per day of capacity for deliveries to Arizona, Nevada and southern California. This represents almost 30% of the prior pipeline capacity from the region to the West Coast and other markets outside the region. The Managing General Partner believes that the completion and start-up of the pipeline eliminated or reduced the local supply surplus, leading to improved natural gas prices in the region.



Because of the uncertainty surrounding gas prices the Managing General Partner used hedging agreements to manage some of the impact of fluctuations in prices for the Managing General Partner and its various limited partnership's share of production. Through March of 2004 the Partnership has in place a series of costless collars and option contracts. Under the collar arrangements, if the applicable index rises above the ceiling price, the Partnership pays the counterparty, however if the index drops below the floor the counterparty pays the Partnership. For the period from July 2003 through October 2003, the Partnership has floors in place at $2.50 on 17,248 Mmbtu of monthly production and ceilings in place at $3.13 on 4,312 Mmbtu of monthly production.  For the period November, 2003 through March, 2004, the Partnership has floors in place at $3.50 on 10,349 Mmbtu of monthly production and ceilings in place at $5.26 on 10,349 Mmbtu of monthly production. Oil prices have softened from earlier in the year. While oil prices are influenced by supply and demand, global geopolitics may be the single most important determinant.  For the period from July 2003 through December, 2003, the Partnership has in place oil hedges on 1,062 barrels of monthly production at $30.00 barrel. The fair value of these hedges, floors and ceilings as of June 30, 2003 is $(14,510).

Notes to Financial Statements

(Unaudited)



As of June 30, 2003 the Partnership had option contracts for the sale of 68,992 Mmbtu of natural gas with an average ceiling price of $4.72 and for the sale of 120,736 Mmbtu of natural gas with an average floor price of $2.93. The Partnership also has hedging contracts for the sale of 6,370 barrels of oil at $30.00 per barrel.



Disclosure of Limitations



As the information above incorporates only those exposures that exist at June 30, 2003, it does not consider those exposures or positions which could arise after that date. As a result, the Partnership's ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to commodity price fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, the Partnership's hedging strategies at the time and commodity prices at the time.



Item 4.	Controls and Procedures



Under the supervision and with the participation of the Managing General Partner's management, including the Managing General Partner's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the Partnership has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(c)) within 90 days of the filing date of this quarterly report, and, based on their evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective in all material respects, including those to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported, within the time periods specified in the Commission's rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Managing General Partner's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely disclosure. There have been no significant changes in our internal controls or in other factors that could significantly affect these controls subsequent to the date of their evaluation.
