                          RIDGEWOOD ENERGY L FUND, LLC

                     NOTES TO UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Organization and Purpose

The Ridgewood Energy L Fund, LLC ("Fund"), a Delaware limited liability company,
was formed on May 27, 2004 and operates pursuant to a limited liability company
agreement ("Agreement") dated as of July 1, 2004 by and among Ridgewood Energy
Corporation ("Manager"), and the shareholders of the Fund.

The Fund was organized to acquire, drill, construct and develop natural gas and
oil properties located in the United States offshore waters of Texas and
Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     Basis of presentation

These interim financial statements have been prepared by the Fund's management,
without audit, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in
the United States of America 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
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have
been condensed or omitted in these interim financial statements. The condensed
results of operations, financial position, and cash flows for the periods
presented herein are not necessarily indicative of future financial results.
These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual
financial statements and the notes thereto for the period ended December 31,
2004 included in the Fund's Registration Statement on Form 10 filed with the
SEC, as it may be amended from time to time. The Fund had no business operations
or activities prior to July 1, 2004 and therefore, no comparable financial
information is provided for the period ended June 30, 2004.

     Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America 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 revenues and expenses
during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Manager reviews its
estimates, including those related to environmental liabilities, impairment
allowance and determination of proved reserves. Actual results may differ from
those estimates.

     Oil and gas properties

Investments in oil and gas properties were operated by unaffiliated entities
("Operators") who are responsible for drilling, administering and producing
activities for leases jointly owned by working interest owners pursuant to the
terms of the applicable Operating Agreements. The Fund's portion of exploration,
drilling, operating and capital equipment expenditures relating to the wells are
advanced and billed by Operators through authorization for expenditures.

The successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas producing activities
is followed. Costs to acquire mineral interests in oil and gas properties, drill
and equip exploratory wells to find proved reserves, drill and equip
developmental wells and related asset retirement costs are capitalized. Costs to
drill exploratory wells that do not find proved reserves, geological and
geophysical costs and costs of carrying and retaining unproved properties are
expensed. For the quarter ended June 30, 2005 there were $975,826 of dry hole
costs for Main Pass 155 offset by a refund of $95,586 of dry hole costs recorded
in 2004 on a different well.

Unproved oil and gas properties that are individually significant are
periodically assessed for impairment of value, and a loss recognized in the
event of impairment by providing an impairment allowance. Capitalized
acquisition costs of producing oil and gas properties after recognizing
estimated salvage values are depreciated and depleted by the unit-of-production
method.

     Revenue Recognition

Oil and gas sales will be recognized when delivery is made by the Operator to
the purchaser and title transferred, i.e., production has been delivered to a
pipeline or transport vehicle.

                                       6
<PAGE>

Interest income is recognized when earned.

     Assets Retirement Obligations

For a substantial portion of the assets, there are obligations to perform
removal and remediation activities when the asset is retired. However, the fair
value of the asset retirement obligations cannot be reasonably estimated, since
the retirement dates are indeterminate. Asset retirement obligations will be
recognized in the period the retirement dates are determined.

     Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets, the long-lived assets, such as oil and gas properties, are
evaluated when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
value of such assets may not be recoverable. The determination of whether
impairment has occurred is made by comparing the future carrying value to the
estimated future discounted cash flows attributable to that asset. The
impairment loss recognized is the excess of the carrying value over the greater
of the future discounted cash flows attributable to the asset or the estimated
fair value of the asset.

     Depletion and Amortization

Acquisition costs of proved properties are depleted (or amortized) on the basis
of units of production and total estimated units of proved, developed and
undeveloped reserves. Other capitalized costs on proved properties are depleted
(or amortized) on the basis of units of production and total estimated units of
proved developed reserves.

     Income Taxes

No provision is made for income taxes in the financial statements as the income
or losses are passed through and included in the tax returns of the individual
shareholders.

     Cash and cash equivalents

All highly liquid investments with maturities when purchased of three months or
less are considered as cash and cash equivalents. At times, bank deposits may be
in excess of federal insured limits.

     Income and Expense Allocation

Profits and losses are to be allocated 85 % to shareholders in proportion to
their relative capital contributions and 15% to the Manager, except for items of
expense, loss, deduction and credit attributable to the expenditure of
shareholders' capital contributions which are allocated 99% to shareholders and
1% to the Manager.

3. Transactions with Manager

A management agreement provides that the Manager render management,
administrative and advisory services. For such services, the Manager receives an
annual management fee, payable monthly, of 2.5% of total capital contributions
and receives 15% of distributions made out of operating income by the Fund. For
the three months and the period ended June 30, 2005, a management fee of
$321,257 and $642,514 respectively was paid. There have been no distributions
made by the Fund through June 30, 2005.

From time to time, short-term payables and receivables, which do not bear
interest, arise from transactions with affiliates in the ordinary course of
business. As of June 30, 2005, no amounts were outstanding.

The Fund co-invests with affiliated funds managed by the Manager to aquire and
develop oil and gas projects.

4. Commitment and Contingencies

     Environmental Considerations

The exploration for and development of oil and gas involves the extraction,
production and transportation of materials which, under certain conditions, can
be hazardous or cause environmental pollution problems. The Manager and the
Operators 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,
earnings or the competitive position 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.

     Salvage Fund

Pursuant to the Fund's Operating Agreement, a portion of monthly net revenue is
reserved in Salvage Funds, which we separate into interest bearing accounts,
until a Salvage Fund contains an amount equal to the anticipated cost of
dismantling and removing production wells and platforms, in accordance with
applicable federal and state laws and regulations. Currently, the fair value of
the asset retirement obligations cannot be reasonably estimated, as the
retirement dates are indeterminate.

     Insurance Coverage

The Fund is subject to all risks inherent in the exploration for and development
of oil and 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
which is not insured or not fully insured could have an adverse impact upon
earnings and financial position.

5. Subsequent Event

In August 2005, one of the wells was determined to be a dry hole. Drilling and
development costs of $975,826 are reflected as dry hole costs on the
accompanying Statement of Operations.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and operating
results are based on our financial statements. The preparation of this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amount of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets
and liabilities at the date of our financial statements, and the reported amount
of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ
from those estimates and assumptions. See "Notes to Unaudited Financial
Statements" in Part I of this Form 10-Q for a presentation of the Fund's
critical accounting principles. As there were no business operations until July
1, 2004, no discussion of the prior year period is contained in this MD&A.

Overview

The Fund commenced active operations on July 1, 2004 when it began its private
offering of shares. During 2004, the Fund raised capital by selling 350.1081
shares for $51,400,840. The Fund's primary business is obtaining economic
interest in the exploration and development of oil and gas projects. The
business activities are managed by Ridgewood Energy Corporation, the Manager.
The Fund does not directly explore for, or operate, any projects. The Manager,
on behalf of the Fund, enters into operating agreements with third party
operators for the exploration and possible development of projects. These
third-party operators manage all day-to-day activities of projects, determine
expenditures and report their activities to the Manager.

Results of Operations

Net revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, comprised solely of interest
income, were $219,500. The net loss for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was
$1,121,472 attributable to management fees paid to Ridgewood Energy, the
Manager, of $321,257 for the quarter, in addition to insurance expense of
$131,617 and dry hole cost of $880,266. Other general and administrative
expenses for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 totaled $7,836.

Net revenues for the period ended June 30, 2005 were $325,441 representing
interest income on cash held for investment. The net loss for the period was
$1,352,889 attributable to management fees paid totaling $642,514, insurance
expenses of $141,143, and dry hole costs of $880,266. Other general and
administrative expenses for the period ended June 30, 2005 totaled $14,409.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $4.6 million during the first six months
of 2005 from $36.4 million at December 31, 2004 to $31.8 million at June 30,
2005.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, the Fund purchased oil and gas
properties totaling $5.0 million relating to projects, of which $975,826 was
written off as dry hole costs. The balance of cash was used to pay management
fees, insurance costs and other Fund expenses which are offset by cash generated
from interest income.

Through June 30, 2005 the Fund has not declared or paid cash dividends to its
shareholders. The Manager may distribute available cash from operations which
includes cash received by the Fund from the operation of the business (not
including cash flow from dispositions and investor capital contributions), less
well operating expenses and other cash expenditures and less reserves for Fund
operating expenses, plug and abandonment costs and certain other actual and
contingent liabilities. Distributions may include funds derived from the release
of cash from operating reserves. Further, distributions will be made from
operating cash flows rather than net income, or from available cash reserves in
some instances. For purposes of generally accepted accounting principles,
amounts of distributions in excess of accounting income may be considered to be
capital in nature.

Future Trends

Revenue to the Fund is sensitive to changes in price received for natural gas
production. Prevailing market prices fluctuate in response to many factors that
are outside of our control such as the supply and demand for natural gas.
Availability of alternative fuels also impacts the supply while other economic
factors may impact the demand.

High natural gas prices have resulted in a strong demand for and a tight supply
of drilling rigs necessary to drill new wells. The increased cost in daily rig
rates could have a negative impact on the return to investors in the Fund. The
shortage of drilling rigs could delay the employment of capital to such projects
and thus delay revenue from operations.

Wells drilled may not have commercially productive natural gas reservoirs. In
such an event, the Funds' revenue, future results of operations and financial
condition would be adversely impacted.

Estimated Capital Expenditures

The Fund has entered into multiple Offshore Operating Agreements for the
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, 2005, such estimated
capital expenditures total $14.6 million, all of which is expected to be paid
within the following 12 months, provided the wells are not dry. If the wells are
unsuccessful, the development capital will be reallocated to one or more new
unspecified projects.

The Manager receives an annual management fee of 2.5% of total capital
contributions for administrative and advisory services as well as reimbursement
of expenses. As additional compensation for its duties as Manager, it will also
receive up to a maximum 15% of distributions made out of operating income by the
Fund.

     i)   Assumes the wells are commercially successful. If one or more of the
          wells is dry, the development capital will be reallocated to one or
          more new unspecified projects. The Main Pass 155 project was a dry
          hole, therefore, of the estimated capital expenditures of $8,249,376
          at March 31, 2005, the developmental capital of $7,273,550 has been
          reallocated to East Cameron 48.
     ii)  Although the management fee and legal and accounting fees are
          typically paid from operating income, we are estimating that two years
          of expense may be spent from Fund reserves until revenue reaches such
          levels.
     iii) Insurance expense represents $38,105 annually of Directors and
          Officers coverage that is allocated equally over 12 months in addition
          to well control insurance that is expensed in the quarter the well is
          spud (starts drilling). The well control insurance expense varies by
          well based on the projected depth of the well and the Fund's working
          interest percentage in the well. In the second quarter the Fund
          estimated an additional $178,000 in well control insurance for the new
          well that will spud at a later date.
     iv)  There will be additional well control insurance which cannot be
          estimated at the current time if one of the above wells is deemed
          unsuccessful.

Cash Reserves

The Fund is maintaining cash reserves of $17.2 million to be used for cost
overruns, new projects, project development costs or Fund expenses.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

The principal market risks to which the Fund is exposed that may adversely
impact the Fund's results of operations and financial position are changes in
oil and gas prices. The Fund has no market risk sensitive instruments held for
trading purposes.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

(a)     Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Fund's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, with the
participation and assistance of other members of management, have evaluated the
effectiveness of the design and operation of the Fund's disclosure controls and
procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered
by Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based upon that evaluation, the Fund's Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Fund's
disclosure controls and procedures are effective, as of the end of the period
covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

We do not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal controls will
prevent all errors and all instances of fraud. A control system, no matter how
well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,
assurance that the objectives of the system are met. Further, the design of a
control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and
the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of
the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can
provide absolute assurance that we have detected all our control issues and
instances of fraud, if any. The design of any system of controls also is based
partly on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there
can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals
under all potential future conditions.


(b)     Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

No change in the Fund's internal control over financial reporting occurred
during the Fund's most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
reasonably likely to materially affect, the Fund's internal control over
financial reporting.
