1.     AccountingPolicies

        Referenceis hereby made to PDC 2002-B Limited Partnership's (the Partnership's) AnnualReport on Form 10-K for 2004, which contains a summary of significantaccounting policies followed by the Partnership in the preparation of itsfinancial statements.  These policies were also followed in preparing thequarterly report included herein. 

2.     Basisof Presentation

        TheManagement of the Partnership believes that all adjustments (consisting of onlynormal recurring accruals) necessary to a fair statement of the results of suchperiods have been made.  The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fullyear. 

3.     Oiland Gas Properties

The Partnershipfollows the successful efforts method of accounting for the cost of exploringfor and developing oil and gas reserves.  Under this method, costs ofdevelopment wells, including equipment and intangible drilling costs related toboth producing wells and developmental dry holes, and successful exploratorywells are capitalized and amortized on an annual basis to operations by theunits-of-production method using estimated proved developed reserves determinedat year end by Petroleum Development Corporation's (the Managing GeneralPartner's) petroleum engineers.  If a determination is made that an exploratorywell has not discovered economically producible reserves, then its costs areexpensed as dry hole cost. 

The Partnershipassesses impairment of capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties bycomparing net capitalized costs to undiscounted future net cash flows on afield-by-field basis using expected prices.  Prices utilized in each year'scalculation for measurement purposes and expected costs are held constantthroughout the estimated life of the properties.  If net capitalized costexceeds undiscounted future net cash flow, the measurement of impairment isbased on estimated fair value which would consider future discounted cashflows.

4.     Revenue Recognition

Sales of natural gas are recognized whennatural gas has been delivered to a custody transfer point, persuasive evidenceof a sales arrangement exists, the rights and responsibility of ownership passto the purchaser upon delivery, collection of revenue from the sale isreasonably assured and the sales price is fixed or determinable.  Natural gasis sold by the Managing General Partner under contracts with terms ranging fromone month to three years.  Virtually all of the Managing General Partner'scontracts pricing provisions are tied to a market index, with certainadjustments based on, among other factors, whether a well delivers to agathering or transmission line, quality of natural gas and prevailing supplyand demand conditions, so that the price of the natural gas fluctuates toremain competitive with other available natural gas supplies. As a result, thePartnership's revenues from the sale of natural gas will suffer if marketprices decline and benefit if they increase. The Partnership believes that thepricing provisions of its natural gas contracts are customary in the industry.

The Managing General Partner currentlyuses the "Net-Back" method of accounting for transportation arrangements of naturalgas sales.  The Managing General Partner sells gas at the wellhead and collectsa price and recognizes revenues based on the wellhead sales price sincetransportation costs downstream of the wellhead are incurred by the ManagingGeneral Partner's customers and reflected in the wellhead price.

Sales of oil are recognized whenpersuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the oil is verified asproduced and is delivered in a stock tank, collection of revenue from the saleis reasonably assured and the sales price is determinable.  The Partnership iscurrently able to sell all the oil that it can produce under existing sales contractswith petroleum refiners and marketers.  The Partnership does not refine any ofits oil production.  The Partnership's crude oil production is sold topurchasers at or near the Partnership's wells under short-term purchasecontracts at prices and in accordance with arrangements that are customary inthe oil industry.

5.   DerivativeFinancial Instruments

The Managing GeneralPartner utilizes commodity based derivative instruments as hedges to manage aportion of the Partnership's exposure to price volatility stemming from naturalgas production. These instruments consist of CIG (Colorado Interstate GasIndex) based contracts for Colorado production, and NYMEX traded oil futuresand option contracts for Colorado oil production.  The costless collars and optioncontracts hedge committed and anticipated  oil and natural gas sales generallyforecasted to occur within a 24 month period. The Partnership does not hold orissue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. 

All derivatives arerecognized on the Partnership balance sheet at their fair value. On the datethe derivative contract is entered into, the Managing General Partnerdesignates the derivative as either a hedge of a forecasted transaction or thevariability of cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized assetor liability ("cash flow" hedge), or a non-hedging derivative. The ManagingGeneral Partner formally documents all relationships between hedginginstruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategyfor undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking allderivatives that are designated as cash-flow hedges to specific firmcommitments. The Managing General Partner also formally assesses, both at thehedge's inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that areused in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in cashflows of hedged items.  When it is determined that a derivative is not highlyeffective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, thePartnership discontinues hedge accounting prospectively. No hedging activitieswere discontinued during 2005 or 2004.

Changes in fairvalue of a derivative that is highly effective and that is designated andqualifies as a cash-flow hedge are recorded in accumulated other comprehensiveincome, until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of thedesignated hedged item. Changes in the fair value of non-hedging derivativesare reported in current-period earnings. The Partnership discontinues hedgeaccounting prospectively when it is determined that the derivative is no longereffective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of the hedged item, thederivative expires or is sold, terminated, or exercised.  Additionally, if thederivative is designated as a hedging instrument, because it is probable that aforecasted transaction will not occur, or the Partnership determines thatdesignation of the derivative as a hedging instrument is no longer appropriate,hedge accounting will be discontinued.

By using derivative financial instrumentsto hedge exposures to changes in commodity prices, the Managing General Partnerexposes the Partnership to credit risk. Credit risk is the failure of thecounterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When thefair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes thePartnership, which creates credit risk. The Managing General Partner minimizesthe credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions withhigh-quality counterparties.

Item2.          Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition andResults of Operations

Liquidityand Capital Resources

The Partnership was funded on September 9, 2002 with initial Limited and Additional General Partner contributions of $11,180,426 (559.02units) and the Managing General Partner's cash contribution of $2,431,743 inaccordance with the Limited Partnership Agreement.  After payment ofsyndication costs of $1,173,945 and a one-time management fee to the ManagingGeneral Partner of $279,511 the Partnership had available cash of $12,158,713for Partnership activities.

The Partnershipbegan exploration and development activities subsequent to the funding of thePartnership and completed well drilling activities by December 31, 2002.  Fourteen wells have been drilled, all of which have been completed as producingwells.   No additional wells will be drilled.

ThePartnership had working capital at March 31, 2005 of $332,628.

Operations are expected to be conducted with availablefunds and revenues generated from oil and gas activities.  No bank borrowingsare anticipated.

Resultsof Operations

# Three months ended March 31, 2005 compared with March 31, 2004

Oiland gas sales for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $468,455 compared to $602,069 for the three months ended March 31, 2004, a decrease of $133,614 or 22.2%.  The volume of natural gas sold for the three months ended March 31, 2005, was 64,636 Mcf at an average sales price of $5.62 per Mcf compared to 100,268Mcf at an average price of $4.72 per Mcf for the three months ended March 31, 2004.  The volume of oil sold for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was 2,253 barrels at an average sales price of $46.44 compared to 4,004 barrels at anaverage price of $32.11 for the three months ended March 31, 2004.  The Lifting cost for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $1.60 per Mcfe compared to $0.97 per Mcfe for the three months ended March 31, 2004. This increase is partially attributed to the increase in severance and property taxes.  Thefixed costs of operations and well maintenance are allocated to lowerproduction volumes, therefore increasing the lifting cost per Mcfe. Depreciation,depletion and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2005 was $198,530 compared to $293,071 for the three months ended March 31, 2004.  While the Partnership experienced a net income of $144,897 and $188,953,depreciation, depletion and amortization is a non-cash expense and thereforethe Partnership distributed $379,916 and $551,510 to the partners for the threemonths ended March 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

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

 

CriticalAccounting Policies

 Certain accounting policies are very importantto the portrayal of the Partnership's financial condition and results ofoperations and require management's most subjective or complex judgments.  Inapplying those policies, our management uses its judgment to determine theappropriate assumptions to be used in the determination of certain estimates.Those estimates are based on our historical experience, our observance oftrends in the industry, and information available from other outside sources,as appropriate. The Partnership's critical accounting policies and estimatesare as follows:

Revenue Recognition.  Salesof natural gas are recognized when natural gas has been delivered to a custodytransfer point, persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists, the rightsand responsibility of ownership pass to the purchaser upon delivery, collectionof revenue from the sale is reasonably assured and the sales price is fixed ordeterminable.  Natural gas is sold by the Managing General Partner undercontracts with terms ranging from one month to three years.  Virtually all ofthe Managing General Partner's contracts pricing provisions are tied to amarket index, with certain adjustments based on, among other factors, whether awell delivers to a gathering or transmission line, quality of natural gas andprevailing supply and demand conditions, so that the price of the natural gasfluctuates to remain competitive with other available natural gas supplies.  Asa result, the Partnership's revenues from the sale of natural gas will sufferif market prices decline and benefit if they increase. The Partnership believesthat the pricing provisions of its natural gas contracts are customary in theindustry.

TheManaging General Partner currently uses the "Net-Back" method of accounting fortransportation arrangements of natural gas sales.  The Managing General Partnersells gas at the wellhead and collects a price and recognizes revenues based onthe wellhead sales price since transportation costs downstream of the wellheadare incurred by the Managing General Partner's customers and reflected in thewellhead price.

Salesof oil are recognized when persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement exists,the oil is verified as produced and is delivered in a stock tank, collection ofrevenue from the sale is reasonably assured and the sales price isdeterminable.  The Partnership is currently able to sell all the oil that itcan produce under existing sales contracts with petroleum refiners andmarketers.  The Partnership does not refine any of its oil production.  ThePartnership's crude oil production is sold to purchasers at or near thePartnership's wells under short-term purchase contracts at prices and inaccordance with arrangements that are customary in the oil industry.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. The Partnershipassesses impairment of capitalized costs of proved oil and gas properties bycomparing net capitalized costs to undiscounted future cash flows on afield-by-field basis using expected prices. Prices utilized in each year'scalculation for measurement purposes and expected costs are held constantthroughout the life of the properties. If net capitalized costs exceedundiscounted future net cash flow, the measurement of impairment is based onestimated fair value which would consider future discounted cash flows.

Oil and Gas Properties 

Exploration anddevelopment costs are accounted for by the successful efforts method.

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

Property acquisition costs are capitalized whenincurred.  Geological and geophysical costs and delay rentals are expensed asincurred.  The costs of drilling exploratory wells are capitalized pendingdetermination of whether the wells have discovered economically produciblereserves.  If reserves are not discovered, such costs are expensed as dryholes.  Development costs, including equipment and intangible drilling costsrelated to both producing wells and developmental dry holes are capitalized.

Unproved properties and leases are written-off to expensewhen it is determined that they will expire to be abandoned.

Costs of proved properties, including leaseholdacquisitions, exploration and development costs and equipment, are depreciatedand depleted by the unit-of-production method based on estimated proveddeveloped oil and gas reserves.

Upon sale or retirement of complete fields of depreciableor depletable property, the book value thereof, less proceeds or salvage value,is credited or charged to income.  Upon sale of a partial unit of property, theproceeds are credited to accumulated depreciation and depletion.

 

RecentlyIssued Accounting Pronouncements

 

AssetRetirement Obligations

On March 30, 2005, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting forConditional Asset Retirement Obligations" (FIN No. 47).  This interpretationclarifies that the term "conditional asset retirement obligation" as used inStatement No. 143 refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirementactivity in which the timing and/or method of settlement are conditional on afuture event that may or may not be within the control of the entity incurringthe obligation.  The obligation to perform the asset retirement activity isunconditional even though uncertainty exists about the timing and/or method ofsettlement.  Thus, the timing and/or method of settlement may be conditional ona future event.  Accordingly, an entity is required to recognize a liabilityfor the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fairvalue of the liability can be reasonably estimated.  Uncertainty about thetiming and/or method of settlement of a conditional asset retirement obligationshould be factored into the measurement of the liability, rather than thetiming of recognition of the liability, when sufficient information exists. FIN No. 47 will be effective for the Partnership at the end of the fiscal yearended December 31, 2005. The Partnership has not determined the impact on thePartnership's financial position or results of operations of the application ofFIN No. 47.

DisclosureRegarding Forward Looking Statements

This Form 10-Q contains "forward-lookingstatements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, asamended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Actof 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). All statements other than statementsof historical facts included in and incorporated by reference into this Form10-Q are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements aresubject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties that could cause actualresults to differ materially from those projected. Among those risks, trendsand uncertainties are the Managing General Partner's estimate of thesufficiency of its existing capital sources, its ability to raise additionalcapital to fund cash requirements for future operations, the uncertaintiesinvolved in estimating quantities of proved oil and natural gas reserves, inprospect development and property acquisitions and in projecting future ratesof production, the timing of development expenditures and drilling of wells,and the operating hazards attendant to the oil and gas business. In particular,careful consideration should be given to cautionary statements made in thevarious reports the Partnership has filed with the Securities and ExchangeCommission. The Partnership undertakes no duty to update or revise theseforward-looking statements. 

Whenused in the Form 10-Q, the words, "expect," "anticipate," "intend," "plan,""believe," "seek," "estimate" and similar expressions are intended to identifyforward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements containthese identifying words. Because these forward-looking statements involve risksand uncertainties, actual results could differ materially from those expressedor implied by these forward-looking statements for a number of importantreasons, including those discussed under "Management's Discussions and Analysisof Financial Condition and Results of Operations" and elsewhere in this Form10-Q. 

Item 3.          Quantitative and QualitativeDisclosure About Market Rate Risk

Market-Sensitive Instruments and Risk Management

ThePartnership's primary market risk exposure is commodity price risk.  Thisexposure is discussed in detail below:

Commodity Price Risk

The Managing General Partner utilizes commodity-basedderivative instruments as hedges to manage a portion of its exposure to pricerisk from its oil and natural gas sales.  These instruments consist ofCIG-based contracts traded by JP Morgan for Colorado production. These hedgingarrangements have the effect of locking in for specified periods (atpredetermined prices or ranges of prices) the prices the Managing GeneralPartner will receive for the volume to which the hedge relates.  As a result,while these hedging arrangements are structured to reduce the Partnership'sexposure to changes in price associated with the hedged commodity, they alsolimit the benefit the Partnership might otherwise have received from pricechanges associated with the hedged commodity. The Partnership's policyprohibits the use of oil and  natural gas future and option contracts forspeculative purposes.
