NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2016
(unaudited)
Note 1 - General and Basis of Presentation
Rockies Region 2007 Limited Partnership (this “Partnership” or the “Registrant”) was organized in 2007 as a limited partnership, in accordance with the laws of the State of West Virginia, for the purpose of engaging in the exploration and development of crude oil and natural gas properties. Business operations commenced upon closing of an offering for the private placement of Partnership units. Upon funding, this Partnership entered into a Drilling and Operating Agreement (“D&O Agreement”) with the Managing General Partner which authorizes PDC to conduct and manage this Partnership's business. In accordance with the terms of the Limited Partnership Agreement (the “Agreement”), the Managing General Partner is authorized to manage all activities of this Partnership and initiates and completes substantially all Partnership transactions.
As of June 30, 2016, there were 1,760 limited partners ("Investor Partners") in this Partnership. PDC is the designated Managing General Partner of this Partnership and owns a 37% Managing General Partner ownership in this Partnership. According to the terms of the Agreement, revenues, costs and cash distributions of this Partnership are allocated 63% to the Investor Partners, which are shared pro rata based upon the number of units in this Partnership, and 37% to the Managing General Partner. The Managing General Partner may repurchase Investor Partner units under certain circumstances provided by the Agreement, upon request of an individual Investor Partner. Through June 30, 2016, the Managing General Partner had repurchased 141 units of Partnership interest from the Investor Partners at an average price of $2,447 per unit. As of June 30, 2016, the Managing General Partner owned 39.0% of this Partnership, including the repurchased interest.
In the Managing General Partner's opinion, the accompanying condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of this Partnership's results for interim periods in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the SEC. Accordingly, pursuant to such rules and regulations, certain notes and other financial information included in the audited financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The December 31, 2015 condensed balance sheet data was derived from financial statements audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as indicated in their report filed with the SEC on March 25, 2016, but does not include disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. The information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with this Partnership's audited financial statements and notes thereto included in this Partnership's 2015 Form 10-K. This Partnership's accounting policies are described in the Notes to Financial Statements in this Partnership's 2015 Form 10-K and updated, as necessary, in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results of operations and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any future period.
Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") and the International Accounting Standards Board issued their converged standard on revenue recognition that provides a single, comprehensive model that entities will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The standard outlines a five-step approach to apply the underlying principle: (1) identify the contract with the customer, (2) identify the separate performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price to separate performance obligations and (5) recognize revenue when (or as) each performance obligation is satisfied. In March 2016, the FASB issued an update to the standard intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations when recognizing revenue. The revenue standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The revenue standard can be adopted under the full retrospective method or simplified transition method. Entities are permitted to adopt the revenue standard early, beginning with annual reporting periods after December 15, 2016. The Managing General Partner of this Partnership is currently evaluating the impact these changes may have on this Partnership's financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2016
(unaudited)
In August 2014, the FASB issued a new standard related to the disclosure of uncertainties about an entity's ability to continue as a going concern. The new standard will explicitly require management to assess an entity's ability to continue as a going concern every reporting period and to provide related footnote disclosures in certain circumstances. The new standard will be effective for all entities in the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. This Partnership expects to adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of 2016. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have a significant impact on this Partnership's financial statements.
Note 3 - Transactions with Managing General Partner
The Managing General Partner transacts business on behalf of this Partnership under the authority of the D&O Agreement. Revenues and other cash inflows received by the Managing General Partner on behalf of this Partnership are distributed to the partners, net of corresponding operating costs and other cash outflows incurred on behalf of this Partnership.
The following table presents transactions with the Managing General Partner reflected in the condensed balance sheets line item “Due to Managing General Partner-other, net,” which remain undistributed or unsettled with this Partnership's investors as of the dates indicated:
June 30, 2016 | December 31, 2015 | ||||||

During the second quarter of 2016, an overriding royalty owner notified the Managing General Partner that the owner believed certain charges and costs had been improperly deducted before applying the owner’s overriding royalty percentage in certain of this Partnership’s wells in which this owner has an interest. During settlement discussions, the Managing General Partner and the owner agreed on a settlement amount. In June 2016, this Partnership recorded a charge to crude oil, natural gas and NGLs sales and an accrual of approximately $63,000 for this settlement, which was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the condensed balance sheet. The settlement is expected to be paid to the overriding royalty owner and deducted from this Partnership's cash distributions in the third quarter of 2016.

Note 4 - Fair Value Measurements
This Partnership's fair value measurements were estimated pursuant to a fair value hierarchy that requires this Partnership to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date, giving the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In these cases, the lowest level input
that is significant to a fair value measurement in its entirety determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability, and may affect the valuation of the assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The carrying value of the financial instruments included in current assets and current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The Managing General Partner utilizes fair value, on a non-recurring basis, to perform impairment testing on this Partnership's crude oil and natural gas properties by comparing net capitalized costs, or carrying value, to estimated undiscounted future net cash flows. If net capitalized costs exceed undiscounted future net cash flows, the measurement of impairment is based on estimated fair value and is measured by the amount by which the net capitalized costs exceed their fair value.
Note 5 - Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
Neither this Partnership nor PDC, in its capacity as the Managing General Partner of this Partnership, are party to any pending legal proceeding that PDC believes would have a materially adverse effect on this Partnership's business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.
Environmental
Due to the nature of the oil and gas industry, this Partnership is exposed to environmental risks. The Managing General Partner has various policies and procedures in place to prevent environmental contamination and mitigate the risks from environmental contamination. The Managing General Partner conducts periodic reviews to identify changes in this Partnership's environmental risk profile. Liabilities are accrued when environmental remediation efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. These liabilities are reduced as remediation efforts are completed or are adjusted as a consequence of subsequent periodic reviews.
As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, this Partnership had accrued environmental remediation liabilities of $3,900 and $1,600, respectively, which is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the condensed balance sheet.
The Managing General Partner is not currently aware of any environmental claims existing as of June 30, 2016 which have not been provided for or would otherwise have a material impact on this Partnership's condensed financial statements; however, there can be no assurance that current regulatory requirements will not change or that unknown past non-compliance with environmental laws or other potential sources of liability will not be discovered on this Partnership's properties.
In August 2015, the Managing General Partner received a Clean Air Act Section 114 Information Request (the "Information Request") from the United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"). The Information Request seeks, among other things, information related to the design, operation, and maintenance of certain production facilities in the Denver-Julesburg Basin of Colorado. The Information Request focuses on historical operation and design information for 46 production facilities, of which one relates to this Partnership, and asks that the Managing General Partner conduct certain sampling and analyses at the identified 46 facilities. The Managing General Partner responded to the Information Request in January 2016. The Managing General Partner continues to meet with the EPA and provide additional information, but cannot predict the outcome of this matter at this time.
In addition, in December 2015, the Managing General Partner received a Compliance Advisory pursuant to C.R.S. § 25-7-115(2) from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's Air Quality Control Commission's Air Pollution Control Division alleging that the Managing General Partner had failed to design, operate, and maintain certain condensate collection, storage, processing and handling operations to minimize leakage of volatile organic compounds to the maximum extent possible at 65 facilities consistent with applicable standards under Colorado law. Certain of this Partnership's wells were included in this list of 65 facilities. The Managing General Partner is in the process of responding to the advisory, and working with the agency on specific response processes, but cannot predict the outcome of this matter at this time.

Note 6 - Asset Retirement Obligations
The following table presents the changes in the carrying amount of the asset retirement obligations associated with this Partnership's working interest in crude oil and natural gas properties:
Amount | |||
Balance at December 31, 2015 | $ | 2,313,683 | |
Accretion expense | 94,579 | ||
Balance at June 30, 2016 | 2,408,262 | ||
Less current portion | (240,000 | ) | |
Long-term portion | $ | 2,168,262 |
The current portion of the asset retirement obligations relates to wells that are producing minimal or no hydrocarbons and are expected to be plugged and abandoned within the next 12 months.
This Partnership's estimated asset retirement obligation liability is based on historical experience in plugging and abandoning wells, estimated economic lives, estimated plugging and abandonment cost and federal and state regulatory requirements. The liability is discounted using the credit-adjusted risk-free rate estimated at the time the liability is incurred or revised. In periods subsequent to initial measurement of the liability, this Partnership must recognize period-to-period changes in the liability resulting from the passage of time, revisions to either the amount of the original estimate of undiscounted cash flows or changes in inflation factors and changes to this Partnership's credit-adjusted risk-free rate as market conditions warrant.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Partnership Overview
Rockies Region 2007 Limited Partnership engages in the development, production and sale of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs. This Partnership began crude oil and natural gas operations in August 2007 and currently operates 75 gross (73.9 net) wells located in the Wattenberg Field of Colorado. The Managing General Partner markets this Partnership's crude oil, natural gas and NGLs production to midstream marketers. Crude oil, natural gas and NGLs are sold primarily under market-sensitive contracts in which the price varies as a result of market forces. PDC does not charge a separate fee for the marketing of the crude oil, natural gas and NGLs because these services are covered by the monthly well operating charge. Seasonal factors, such as effects of weather on realized commodity prices, costs incurred and availability of PDC or third-party owned pipeline capacity, and other factors such as high line pressures in the gathering system, whether caused by heat or third-party facilities issues, may impact this Partnership's results.
Partnership Operating Results Overview
Crude oil, natural gas and NGLs sales decreased 20%, or $165,000, for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period of 2015, attributable to the recording of a provision for underpayment of natural gas sales to an overriding royalty owner of $63,000 and a decrease in the average sales price per barrel of crude oil equivalent ("Boe") of 20%, offset in part by an increase in sales volume of 10%, period-over-period. The average sales price per Boe was $19.99 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $24.96 for the same period a year ago.
As a result of the decreased sales revenues, this Partnership experienced a significant decrease in cash flows from operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, this Partnership had net cash from operations of $196,000 compared to net cash from operations of $250,000 for the comparable period of 2015. Accordingly, cash distributions to Investor Partners decreased 63% to $120,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $324,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Crude Oil, Natural Gas and NGLs Sales
Changes in Crude Oil, Natural Gas and NGLs Sales Volumes. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015, crude oil, natural gas and NGLs production, on an energy equivalency-basis, increased 10%, primarily attributable to a reduction in system line pressures and, to a lesser extent, resumed production from certain wells that were shut-in during the comparable 2015 period for well-bore integrity testing, per state regulations.
This Partnership experienced lower line pressures in the six months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015 as gathering system line pressures decreased following the commissioning of DCP Midstream’s Lucerne II plant in the summer of 2015 down to levels that were consistent with the Managing General Partner's projections. Line pressures on the midstream system decreased from an average of approximately 200 pounds per square inch ("psi") during the six months ended June 30, 2015 to an average of approximately 150 psi during the six months ended June 30, 2016. As a result of the reduction in line pressures during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the impact of inventory fluctuations, production from this Partnership's vertical wells increased by 10% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015. Despite experiencing lower pressures during the first six months of 2016 as compared to the comparable period of 2015, line pressures began to build toward the end of the second quarter of 2016 as system volumes increased and the region experienced warmer weather. Other contributing factors to the increase in line pressures were DCP Midstream experiencing significant unexpected downtime during the quarter on some of its major plants, as well as performing extensive scheduled maintenance on one of its higher capacity gas plants. The Managing General Partner expects the gathering system pressures on the system to stabilize and then decrease as cooler weather arrives by the end of the third quarter. Over time, however, potential improvement will be offset by natural production declines. This Partnership relies on its third-party midstream service provider to construct compression, gathering and processing facilities to keep pace with production growth. As a result, the timing and availability of additional facilities going forward is substantially beyond the Managing General Partner's control. Falling commodity prices have resulted in reduced investment in midstream facilities by some third parties, increasing the risk that sufficient midstream infrastructure will not be available in future periods.
Changes in Crude Oil Sales. Crude oil sales decreased by $41,000, or 7%, during the six months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the same prior year period, primarily attributable to a decrease in the average selling price of 21% per Bbl, offset in part by a production volume increase of 18%. The average selling price per Bbl was $33.52 for the current year six month period compared to $42.25 for the same prior year period.
Crude oil sales decreased by $24,000, or 7%, during the three months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the same prior year period, primarily attributable to a decrease in the average selling price of 18% per Bbl, offset in part by a production volume increase of 13%. The average selling price per Bbl was $38.71 for the current year three month period compared to $47.29 for the same prior year period.
Changes in Natural Gas Sales. Natural gas sales decreased by $46,000, or 32%, during the six months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in average selling price of 35% per Mcf. The average selling price per Mcf was $1.39 for the current year six month period compared to $2.13 for the same prior year period.
Natural gas sales decreased by $19,000, or 31%, during the three months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in average selling price of 32% per Mcf. The average selling price per Mcf was $1.34 for the current year three month period compared to $1.97 for the same prior year period.
Changes in NGLs Sales. NGLs sales decreased by $14,000, or 16%, during the six months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to a decrease in the average selling price of 20% per Bbl, offset in part by
- 12-
a production volume increase of 4%. The average selling price per Bbl was $8.60 for the current year six month period compared to $10.71 for the same prior year period.
NGLs sales increased by $4,000, or 10%, during the three months ended June 30, 2016 when compared to the same prior year period, primarily due to an increase in the average selling price of 13% per Bbl, offset in part by a production volume decrease of 3%. The average selling price per Bbl was $10.38 for the current year three month period compared to $9.20 for the same prior year period.
Provision for Underpayment of Natural Gas Sales. During the second quarter of 2016, an overriding royalty owner notified the Managing General Partner that the owner believed certain charges and costs had been improperly deducted before applying the owner’s overriding royalty percentage in certain of this Partnership’s wells in which this owner has an interest. During settlement discussions, the Managing General Partner and the owner agreed on a settlement amount. In June 2016, this Partnership recorded a charge to crude oil, natural gas and NGLs sales and an accrual of approximately $63,000 for this settlement.
Crude Oil, Natural Gas and NGLs Pricing. This Partnership's results of operations depend upon many factors, particularly the price of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs, and the Managing General Partner's ability to market this Partnership's production effectively. Crude oil, natural gas and NGLs prices are among the most volatile of all commodity prices. While the price of crude oil decreased during the first half of 2016 compared to the first half of 2015, prices during the second quarter of 2016 increased substantially compared to the first quarter of 2016 as the number of US crude oil rigs and inventories declined. Natural gas prices also decreased during the first half of 2016 when compared to the same prior year period. Due to an oversupply of nearly all domestic NGLs products, this Partnership's average realized sales price for NGLs during the first half of 2016 reflected the same low levels seen during the last quarter of 2015, although NGLs prices were somewhat higher in the second quarter relative to the prior year period. With the initiation of ethane exports and increased NGLs demand, NGLs prices are starting to trend upward.
This Partnership's crude oil, natural gas and NGLs sales are recorded under either the “net-back” or "gross" method of accounting, depending upon the related purchase agreement. This Partnership uses the "net-back" method of accounting for natural gas and NGLs sales, as well as a portion of this Partnership's crude oil production, as the majority of the purchasers of these commodities also provide transportation, gathering and processing services. This Partnership sells commodities at the wellhead and collects a price and recognizes revenues based on the wellhead sales price as transportation and processing costs downstream of the wellhead are incurred by the purchaser and reflected in the wellhead price. The net-back method results in the recognition of a sales price that is below the indices for which the production is based. This Partnership uses the "gross" method of accounting for crude oil delivered through the White Cliffs pipeline as the purchasers do not provide transportation, gathering or processing services. Under this method, this Partnership recognizes revenues based on the gross selling price and recognizes transportation, gathering and processing expenses as a component of production costs.
Crude Oil, Natural Gas and NGLs Production Costs
Generally, crude oil, natural gas and NGLs production costs vary with changes in total crude oil, natural gas and NGLs sales and production volumes. Production taxes are estimates by the Managing General Partner based on tax rates determined using published information. These estimates are subject to revision based on actual amounts determined during future filings by the Managing General Partner with taxing authorities. Production taxes vary directly with crude oil, natural gas and NGLs sales. Fixed monthly well operating costs increase on a per unit basis as production decreases. In addition, general oil field services and all other costs vary and can fluctuate based on services required, but are expected to increase as wells age and require more extensive repair and maintenance. These costs include water hauling and disposal, equipment repairs and maintenance, snow removal, environmental compliance and remediation and service rig workovers.
Six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2015
Crude oil, natural gas and NGLs production costs for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $47,000 compared to the same period in 2015. The period-over-period increase was primarily attributable to an increase in oil transportation cost on the White Cliffs pipeline, workover expense, production taxes and metering charges by this Partnership's midstream provider,
- 13-
offset in part by a decrease in well swabbing costs and wireline work, regulatory compliance expenses and fixed monthly well operating costs.
Three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2015
Crude oil, natural gas and NGLs production costs for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $48,000 compared to the same period in 2015. The period-over-period increase was primarily attributable to an increase in production taxes, oil transportation cost on the White Cliffs pipeline, workover expense and metering charges by this Partnership's midstream provider, offset in part by a decrease in well swabbing costs and wireline work, contract labor and regulatory compliance expenses.
Direct costs - general and administrative
Six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2015
Direct costs - general and administrative for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased slightly compared to the same period in 2015, primarily attributable to higher professional fees for audit services.
Three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2015
Direct costs - general and administrative for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased approximately $12,000 compared to the same period in 2015, primarily attributable to lower professional fees for audit services.
Depreciation, Depletion and Amortization
Six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2015
Depreciation, depletion and amortization ("DD&A") expense related to crude oil and natural gas properties is directly related to proved reserves and production volumes. DD&A expense decreased $188,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, mainly attributable to a lower DD&A expense rate in 2016, offset in part by the 10% increase in production volumes. The DD&A expense rate per Boe decreased to $5.72 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $11.84 during the same period in 2015 due to the effect of impairments recorded in 2015 to write-down certain capitalized well costs on this Partnership's proved crude oil and natural gas properties. Partially offsetting this decrease were the decline in proved developed reserves at December 31, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014, as a result of the significant decrease in SEC commodity prices utilized in the December 31, 2015 reserve report and the removal of vertical re-fracs and re-completions from the proved developed reserves, due to the current depressed commodity price environment.
Three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2015
DD&A expense decreased $96,000 during the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, mainly attributable to a lower DD&A expense rate in 2016, offset in part by the 5% increase in production volumes. The DD&A expense rate per Boe decreased to $5.76 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $12.00 during the same period in 2015 due to the effect of impairments recorded in 2015 to write-down certain capitalized well costs on this Partnership's proved crude oil and natural gas properties. Partially offsetting this decrease were the decline in proved developed reserves at December 31, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014, as a result of the significant decrease in SEC commodity prices utilized in the December 31, 2015 reserve report and the removal of vertical re-fracs and re-completions from the proved developed reserves, due to the current depressed commodity price environment.
Asset Retirement Obligations and Accretion Expense
Of the 75 wells in this partnership, 40 wells had an increase in production totaling approximately 10.1 MBoe, or 30%, during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same prior year period and 28 wells had a decrease in production totaling approximately 5.9 MBoe, or 18%, during the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same prior year period. The remaining seven wells did not produce or produced minimal amounts of hydrocarbons during both periods. The Managing
- 14-
General Partner is reviewing the Partnership's wells that have the potential to increase production during this lower line pressure environment by incurring minimal expense. The Managing General Partner expects that a portion of this Partnership's wells may be uneconomical to operate and may be plugged and abandoned. As a result, as of June 30, 2016, this Partnership has classified a portion of the asset retirement obligation as a current liability.
Six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to six months ended June 30, 2015
Accretion of asset retirement obligations ("ARO") expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $25,000 compared to the same period in 2015, primarily attributable to an increase in asset retirement obligations recorded in December 2015 to reflect increased estimated costs for materials and services related to the plugging and abandonment of certain vertical wells, as well as a decrease in the estimated useful life of these wells.
Three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to three months ended June 30, 2015
ARO expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $13,000 compared to the same period in 2015, primarily attributable to an increase in asset retirement obligations recorded in December 2015 to reflect increased estimated costs for materials and services related to the plugging and abandonment of certain vertical wells, as well as a decrease in the estimated useful life of these wells.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Historically, this Partnership's primary source of liquidity has been cash flows from operating activities. Fluctuations in this Partnership's operating cash flows are substantially driven by changes in commodity prices and sales volumes. This source of cash has been primarily used to fund this Partnership's operating costs, direct costs-general and administrative, capital program and distributions to the Investor Partners and the Managing General Partner.
This Partnership's future operations are expected to be conducted with available funds and revenues generated from crude oil, natural gas and NGLs production activities. Crude oil, natural gas and NGLs production from existing properties are generally expected to continue a gradual decline in the rate of production over the remaining life of the wells. Accordingly, this Partnership anticipates a lower annual level of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs production and, therefore, lower revenues, unless commodity prices increase. Under these circumstances, decreased production would have a material adverse impact on this Partnership's operations and may result in a continued reduction in or elimination of cash distributions to the Managing General Partner and Investor Partners through the remainder of 2016 and beyond.
Working Capital
At June 30, 2016, this Partnership had a working capital of $67,000, compared to working capital of $182,000 at December 31, 2015. The $115,000 decrease from December 31, 2015 to June 30, 2016 was primarily due to the following changes:
• | an increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $67,000; |
• | an increase in amounts due to managing general partner-other, net of $37,000; |
• | a decrease in crude oil inventory of $23,000; |
• | a decrease in accounts receivable of $14,000; and |
• | an increase in the current portion of asset retirement obligations of $10,000. |
Offset in part by:
• | an increase in cash and cash equivalents of $36,000. |
The $67,000 increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses is primarily attributable to a $63,000 settlement owed to an overriding royalty interest owner.
- 15-
Although the D&O Agreement permits this Partnership to borrow funds on its behalf for Partnership activities, the Managing General Partner does not anticipate electing to fund a portion of this Partnership's activities, if any, through borrowings. Partnership borrowings, should any occur, will be non-recourse to the Investor Partners. Accordingly, this Partnership, rather than the Investor Partners, will be responsible for repaying any amounts borrowed.
Cash Flows
Operating Activities
This Partnership's cash flows from operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2016 were primarily impacted by commodity prices, production volumes, operating costs and direct costs-general and administrative expenses. The key components of the changes in this Partnership's cash flows from operating activities are described in more detail in Results of Operations above.
Net cash flows provided by operating activities were $196,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to net cash flows from operating activities of $250,000 for the comparable period in 2015. The decrease of $54,000 in cash from operating activities was primarily due to the following:
• | a decrease in crude oil, natural gas and NGLs sales of $165,000; and |
• | an increase in crude oil, natural gas and NGLs production costs of $47,000. |
Offset in part by:
• | an increase in changes in operating assets and liabilities of $160,000. |
Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities consist of investments in equipment. From time to time, this Partnership invests in equipment which supports treatment, delivery and measurement of crude oil, natural gas and NGLs or environmental protection. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, investment in equipment was $40,000 compared to $58,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2015.
Financing Activities
This Partnership initiated monthly cash distributions to investors in May 2008 and has distributed $113.5 million through June 30, 2016. The table below presents cash distributions to this Partnership's investors. Distributions to the Managing General Partner represent amounts distributed to the Managing General Partner for its 37% general partner interest in this Partnership and Investor Partner distributions include amounts distributed to Investor Partners for their 63% ownership share in this Partnership, including amounts distributed to the Managing General Partner for limited partnership units repurchased.

The decrease in distributions during the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to 2015 is primarily due to a decrease in cash flows from operating activities in 2016. Conversely, the increase in distributions during the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to 2015 is primarily due to an increase in cash flows from operating activities during the three months ended June 30, 2016.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2016, this Partnership had no off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined under SEC rules, which have or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on this Partnership's financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
