Notes to FinancialStatements

(Unaudited)

1.     AccountingPolicies

        Referenceis hereby made to PDC 2004-A 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 its financialstatements.  These policies were also followed in preparing the quarterlyreport 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 an independent petroleum engineer, Wright & Company, Inc. Ifa determination is made that an exploratory well has not discoveredeconomically producible reserves, then its costs are expensed 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 is basedon estimated fair value which would consider future discounted cash flows.

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 ofnatural gas sales.  The Managing General Partner sells gas at the wellhead andcollects a price and recognizes revenues based on the wellhead sales pricesince transportation costs downstream of the wellhead are incurred by theManaging General 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. Derivative Financial 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 and oil production. These instruments consist of CIG (Colorado InterstateGas Index) based contracts for Colorado production, and NYMEX traded oilfutures and option contracts for Colorado oil production.  The costless collarsand option contracts hedge committed and anticipated oil and natural gas salesgenerally forecasted to occur within a 24 month period. The Partnership doesnot hold or issue derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. 

All derivatives arerecognized on the Partnership balance sheet at their fair value. On the date thederivative contract is entered into, the Managing General Partner designatesthe derivative as either a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variabilityof cash flows to be received or paid related to a recognized asset or liability("cash flow" hedge), or a non-hedging derivative. The Managing General Partnerformally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedgeditems, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertakingvarious hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives thatare designated as cash-flow hedges to specific firm commitments. The ManagingGeneral Partner also formally assesses, both at the hedge's inception and on anongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactionsare highly effective in offsetting changes in cash flows of hedged items.  Whenit is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or thatit has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, the Partnership discontinues hedgeaccounting prospectively. No hedging activities were discontinued during 2005or 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               counterpartyowes the Partnership, which creates credit risk. The Managing General Partnerminimizes the      credit risk in derivative instruments by entering intotransactions with high-quality counterparties.

Results of Operations

# Three months ended March 31, 2005

Oiland gas sales for the three months ended March 31, 2005 were $3,612,763.  The Partnership sold 543,611 Mcf of gas and 13,256 barrels of oil at averagesales prices of $5.48 and $47.97, respectively.  Lifting cost per Mcfe for thethree months ended March 31, 2005 amounted to $0.85.  Depreciation, depletion,and amortization was $1,088,483 for the three months ended March 31, 2005.  Cash distributions to the partners amounted to $3,901,972 for the three monthsended March 31, 2005. 

ThePartnership's revenues from oil and natural gas sales will be affected bychanges in prices.  As a result of changes in federal regulations, gas pricesare highly dependent on the balance between supply and demand.  ThePartnership's gas and oil sales prices are subject to increase and decreasebased on various market sensitive indices.

CriticalAccounting Policies and Estimates  

 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. Sales of natural gas are recognizedwhen natural gas has been delivered to a custody transfer point, persuasiveevidence of a sales arrangement exists, the rights and responsibility ofownership pass to the purchaser upon delivery, collection of revenue from the saleis reasonably assured and the sales price is fixed or determinable.  Naturalgas is sold by the Managing General Partner under contracts with terms rangingfrom one 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.

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 the Partnership'swells under short-term purchase contracts at prices and in accordance witharrangements 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.

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 these forward-lookingstatements. 

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 natural gas and oil sales.  These instruments consist of naturalgas and oil futures contracts and option contracts for CIG-based contractstraded by JP Morgan for Colorado production.  These hedging arrangements havethe effect of locking in for specified periods (at predetermined prices orranges of prices) the prices the Managing General Partner will receive for thevolume to which the hedge relates.  As a result, while these hedgingarrangements are structured to reduce the Partnership's exposure to changes inprice associated with the hedged commodity, they also limit the benefit thePartnership might otherwise have received from price changes associated withthe hedged commodity. The Partnership's policy prohibits the use of natural gasand oil future and option contracts for speculative purposes.

The following tables summarize the open futures andoptions contracts for the Partnership as of March 31, 2005 and 2004.

Disclosure of Limitations

As the information above incorporates only thoseexposures that exist at March 31, 2005, it does not consider those exposures orpositions which could arise after that date. As a result, the Partnership'sultimate realized gain or loss with respect to commodity price fluctuationswill depend on the exposures that arise during the period, the Partnership'shedging strategies at the time and commodity prices at the time.
