Item 8.01. Other Events
On August 14, 2009, Rio Vista Energy Partners L.P. (Rio Vista) issued a press release (see Item 9.01 below)
announcing that it will not file its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 with the Securities and
Exchange Commission by the required due date of August 14, 2009. As previously disclosed, Rio Vistas
March 31, 2009 Form 10-Q was filed without the review of Rio Vistas independent auditors (Auditors) of
those financial statements. Rio Vista intends to have the March 31, 2009 financial statements subsequently
reviewed by its Auditors (see below). However, due to Rio Vistas continued cash flow constraints, Rio
Vista has been unable to satisfy the outstanding amounts owed to the Auditors for prior work performed and
accordingly the Auditors have not yet commenced their review of the March 31, 2009 financial information.
The Auditors have not made any review of the June 30, 2009 quarterly financial information.
As previously disclosed in Rio Vistas Current Report on Form 8-K filed June 19, 2009, Rio Vista and its
wholly owned subsidiary Regional Enterprises Inc. (Regional) completed the restructuring of a $5.0 million
promissory note which was previously due. In addition, as described in Rio Vistas Current Report on Form
8-K filed on June 2, 2009, Rio Vista completed the settlement of obligations owed under the TCW Credit
Facility in connection with the Oklahoma assets. Furthermore, on August 11, 2009, Rio Vista filed a
Current Report on form 8-K in connection with the letter of intent (LOI) to sell Regional, its sole
operating asset. As disclosed in Rio Vistas Current Report filed on August 11, 2009, in the event that
the sale of Regional takes place as prescribed in the LOI, Rio Vista believes that the amount of cash
received from the sale will be sufficient for Rio Vista to satisfy all of its currently outstanding
obligations. Rio Vista would no longer have any operating assets and Rio Vista estimates it would have
minimal remaining cash. Rio Vista would not have any other current sources of additional cash flow to
conduct further operations. Accordingly, Rio Vistas general partner may not be in a position to authorize
further expenditures to file financial and other reports as required under the Securities Exchange Act on a
continuing basis, even if it is able, as the result of the sale of Regional, to satisfy in full all the
currently outstanding obligations to the Auditors.
Rio Vista does not have any estimate as to when the Auditors will be paid. Rio Vista believes that if the
sale of Regional is completed as previously disclosed, Rio Vista will have adequate funds to satisfy its
past obligations with the Auditors and then the required review and related filing of its quarterly and
annual information can resume. In light of the foregoing, Rio Vista believes that filing of its financial
information and other reports will be made, if at all, only in the event that it has adequate funds to
satisfy its currently outstanding obligations and its general partner determines Rio Vista will have
sufficient assets to allow it to resume and thereafter continue filing reports as required under the
Securities Exchange Act.
As a result of the delay in filing its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, Rio Vista expects to
receive another notification from the NASDAQ Stock Market that it is not in compliance with the filing
requirements for continued listing on NASDAQ. Rio Vista recently received notification from NASDAQ
regarding non-compliance of Rio Vistas March 31, 2009 Form 10-Q. If Rio Vistas plan for compliance is
not accepted by NASDAQ with respect to the March 31, 2009 Form 10-Q filing deficiency and/or the
anticipated June 30, 2009 Form 10-Q filing deficiency, Rio Vista expects that NASDAQ will recommend that
Rio Vistas common units be delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market.

quarterly financial statements on Form 10-Q.
