<p><b>Item 4.02.&nbsp; Non-Reliance on Previously Issued
Financial Statements or a Related Report or Completed Interim Review.</b></p>

<p class=dmnormal style='margin-bottom:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; On November 11, 2005, Petroleum
Development Corporation, the Managing General Partner (the &quot;Managing General
Partner&quot;) of the Registrant and the Managing General Partner's Audit Committee
concluded that certain of the Registrant's previously issued financial
statements would be restated.&nbsp; The Managing General Partner has discussed the
matters disclosed in this filing with KPMG LLP, the Registrant's independent
registered public accounting firm.&nbsp; Readers should no longer rely upon the
Registrant's previously issued financial statements.&nbsp; The Registrant will file,
as soon as practicable, an amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the
quarter ended June 30, 2005, an amended Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the
quarter ended March 31, 2005 and an amended Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for
the year ended December 31, 2004.&nbsp; As disclosed in Item 8.01 below, the
Registrant has determined that it is unable to file its Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 in a timely fashion.&nbsp; The
Registrant cannot estimate when it will file these reports.</p>



<p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The
Registrant will file amendments to its 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K, first&nbsp;
quarter 2005 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and second quarter 2005 Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q to amend and restate financial statements and other
financial information for previous years.&nbsp; The restatements relate to the
Registrant's previously disclosed use of hedge accounting for derivatives that
did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under Financial Accounting
Standard No. 133, &quot;Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities&quot; (&quot;FAS 133&quot;).&nbsp; In conjunction with the review of the derivative
accounting, the Registrant also determined that the Registrant's division of
its oil and gas properties into fields for calculation of depreciation and
depletion and for the assessment of impairments, along with other factors
affecting the calculation of depreciation, was not consistent with applicable
accounting standards.&nbsp; Corrections for these items will also be included in the
restated financial statements.&nbsp; The Managing General Partner believes that the
corrections will have no material impact on the Registrant's operating cash
flows, cash position, or reserves.</p>



<p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The
primary effect of a change in classification of the derivative instruments will
be the inclusion of any increases or decreases in the fair value of
non-terminated derivative instruments in the calculation of the Registrant's
net income for the period in which the increases or decreases in the fair value
occur.&nbsp; Under the previous accounting treatment used by the Registrant,
increases and decreases in the fair values of continuing derivative instruments
were recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (&quot;AOCI&quot;) on
the Registrant's balance sheet, and did not increase or decrease the net income
for the reporting period.&nbsp; While the impact of the change in any reporting
period can be significant, the overall impact on net income over the life of
each derivative is the same.&nbsp; The Registrant at this time is unable to evaluate
the impact of the restatement upon the net income and partners' equity of the
Registrant.</p>



<p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The
revisions to the oil and gas property accounting for the changes to the fields
and calculation of depreciation, like the derivative accounting issue, will
have no cash flow impact on the Registrant.&nbsp; The Registrant has not yet
determined if an impairment on the Registrant's oil and gas properties exists
or the amount the revision will result in.</p>



<p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-indent:.5in'>It was also found that certain of the policies and
procedures the Registrant followed for calculating depreciation were incorrect
under the applicable accounting standards and prevailing industry practice. The
Managing General Partner, like most oil and gas companies, prepares an annual
reserve report in conjunction with its filing of its annual report and uses
such reserve estimates for its calculation of depreciation.&nbsp; Each interim
period depreciation amount, using the annual reserves with adjustments for new
wells, must stand on its own and not be adjusted at the end of the year when a
new reserve report is issued.&nbsp; Revisions to this accounting treatment will
result in increases and decreases in the amount of depreciation recorded by the
Registrant in prior periods.</p>



<p style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-indent:.5in'>In its reports as filed, the Registrant used its
proved developed reserves as defined by SEC rules to calculate the amount of
depreciation to be recognized.&nbsp; The Registrant's proved developed reserves have
included the anticipated recompletions of certain formations.&nbsp; After reviewing
the applicable accounting standards and general industry practice, the
Registrant concluded that both the estimated costs and the reserves from these
&quot;behind pipe reserves&quot; should be excluded in calculating the depreciation
amounts.&nbsp; These changes will generally result in increases in depreciation
compared to the method previously used by the Registrant until the
recompletions or behind pipe reserves are completed, and lower depreciation
after they are completed.</p>

<p><b>Item 8.01.&nbsp; Other Events.</b></p>

<p style='text-indent:.5in'>The Registrant has
determined that the filing of its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended September 30, 2005 will be delayed to allow the Registrant and its
independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, to complete a
comprehensive review of the Registrant's accounting as disclosed above in Item
4.02.</p>

<p>At this time, the Registrant is unable to
estimate the amount of time necessary to complete the evaluation of the
Registrant's derivatives, the calculation of depreciation and the impairment of
the Registrant's oil and gas properties, to determine the impact on the
Registrant's financial statements, and to allow KPMG to complete any required
review of the Registrant's financial statements.&nbsp; Until the evaluation has been
completed, the Registrant is unable to determine whether or not the impact of
the review will have a material effect upon the Registrant's net income and
partners' equity.</p>
