PART III -- NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed period.
The subject report cannot be filed without unreasonable effort or expense for the following inter-related reasons.
- In response to letters dated respectively, August 24, 2006 and October 11, 2006, from the staff of the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission commenting upon the registrant’s annual report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2005 and Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 (collectively, the “Comment Letters”), the registrant determined to revise certain portions of its financial statements for both of those reports which contributed to a delay in the completion of the financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
- Petroleum Development Corporation (“PDC”) and its wholly subsidiary, Wattenberg Acquisition Corporation (“Sub”) commenced a tender offer for one hundred percent (100%) of the shares of common stock of the registrant on November 3, 2006. In addition to the Schedule TO (the Tender Offer Statement) filed by PDC and its Sub and the Schedule 14D-9 filed by the registrant on that date, the negotiation of the Tender Offer Agreement and the Stockholder Tender Agreement attached as exhibits to those Schedules and the filing of other necessary reports with the Securities and Exchange Commission concerning that Tender Offer delayed the preparation of financial statements for the Form 10-QSB for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.
PART IV -- OTHER INFORMATION

If the answer is no, identify report(s).
(3) Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?
If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
A reasonable estimate of significant change, if any, in results of operations from the previous fiscal year cannot be made at this time for the reasons set forth under Part III – NARRATIVE, above.
