NOTE 2. Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions
(a) Reflects the reclassification from general and administrative expense to operations and maintenance expense of accretion expense for asset retirement obligations and the reimbursement of fees received from third parties for operation of jointly owned oil and natural gas wells to conform to the Partnership’s presentation of these amounts.
(b) Reflects, for the period from January 1, 2011 through May 2, 2011, (i) the reclassification of accretion expense of $0.1 million from general and administrative expense to operations and maintenance expense, (ii) the reclassification of $0.2 million of third party fees received as reimbursement for the operation of the jointly owned properties from general and administrative expense to operations and maintenance expense, (iii) the elimination of rental expense of $0.1 million for building leases not acquired by the Partnership, (iv) the elimination of $0.6 million of costs incurred by Crow Creek related to the acquisition and (v) the elimination of $2.3 million of costs incurred by the Partnership related to the acquisition.
(c) Reflects the incremental increase of depletion, depreciation and amortization expense, using the units of production method, related to the oil and gas properties, and depreciation and amortization over 20 years using the straight-line method for acquired property, plant and equipment and intangible assets for the period presented.
(d) Reflects, for the period from January 1, 2011 through May 2, 2012, (i) the elimination of Crow Creek’s amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.2 million, (ii) the elimination of realized interest rate risk management losses of $0.2 million due to the Partnership terminating the acquired interest rate risk management instruments subsequent to closing the acquisition and (iii) the incremental decrease in interest expense due to the repayment of the Crow Creek outstanding debt and the draw by the Partnership on its revolving credit facility. Interest expense associated with the debt of $227.6 million was calculated based on an assumed rate of 2.09%. A 1/8 percentage change in the assumed interest rate would result in an adjustment to interest expense of $0.1 million.
(e) Reflects the difference between issuance of 28,753,174 of the Partnership’s common units to the sellers of Crow Creek Energy and 19,063,748, the weighted number of units outstanding calculated as of May 3, 2011, the date of the acquisition.
