Quest Energy Partners, L.P. (“Quest”) is currently investigating the impact, if any, on Quest’s financial statements of the questionable transfer of approximately $10 million of funds from Quest and its affiliates to an entity controlled by Quest’s former chief executive officer. Because this investigation is ongoing, Quest will not be able to timely file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2008. This investigation was first disclosed in a press release dated August 25, 2008.
Quest is also working on the integration of the accounting systems for the wellbores and related assets acquired from Quest Eastern Resource LLC (f/k/a PetroEdge Resources (WV) LLC) in July 2008.

Have all other periodic reports required under section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If the answer is no, identify report(s). Yes

(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? Yes
x
No
o
|
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.
Quest anticipates that, based on the information that is currently available to it, Quest’s results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 will be significantly different from those for the corresponding period for 2007, based upon the significant developments that have occurred in its business since September 30, 2007, including Quest's initial public offering of common units that closed in November 2007, the additional wells drilled and completed over the past year, and the acquisition in July 2008 of Quest Eastern Resource LLC's (f/k/a PetroEdge Resources (WV) LLC) interests in wellbores and related assets associated with proved developed non-producing reserves located in West Virginia and New York.
Quest is unable to provide a reasonable estimate of its results for the quarter ending September 30, 2008 as of the date of this filing as Quest is still assessing the impact, if any, on its financial statements of the questionable transfers of funds discussed in Part III above and is working on the integration of the assets acquired discussed in Part III above.
This notification of late filing contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements are based on Quest's current plans, expectations, estimates, and projections and management's beliefs about the Registrant's future performance. Words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates” or variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. Any conclusions or expectations expressed in, or drawn from, the statements in this filing concerning matters that are not historical corporate financial results are “forward-looking statements”, within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve risks and
2
uncertainties. These statements are based on management’s estimates, assumptions and projections as of today and are not guarantees of future performance. Although Quest believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. In particular, the forward looking statements made in this release are based upon a number of financial and operating assumptions that are subject to a number of risks, including the results of Quest’s ongoing internal investigation mentioned in this notification of late filing, the ongoing worldwide crisis in the capital markets, uncertainty involved in exploring for and developing new natural gas reserves, the sale prices of natural gas and oil, labor and raw material costs, the availability of sufficient capital resources to carry out the
anticipated level of new well development and construction of related pipelines, environmental issues, weather conditions, competition and general market conditions. Actual results may differ materially due to a variety of factors, some of which may not be foreseen by Quest. These risks, and other risks are detailed in Quest’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including risk factors listed in its latest annual reports on Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You can find Quest’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.qrcp.net or at www.sec.gov. By making these forward-looking statements, Quest undertakes no obligation to update these statements for revisions or changes after the date of this filing.
