The information set forth in this Item 7.01 and the attached Exhibit 99.1 includes “forward-looking statements.” All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this Item 7.01 and the attached exhibit that address activities, events or developments that the Partnership expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Partnership in reliance on its experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, expected future developments and other factors the Partnership believes are appropriate under the circumstances. Such statements are inherently uncertain and are subject to a number of risks, many of which are beyond the Partnership's control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Partnership's actual results and plans could differ materially from those implied or expressed by any forward-looking statement.
The Partnership undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information or future events. For a detailed list of the Partnership's risk factors and other cautionary statements, including without limitation risks related to volatility of commodity prices; market demand for crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids; the effectiveness of the Partnership's hedging activities; the availability of local, intrastate and interstate transportation systems and other facilities to transport crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids; competition in the oil and gas industry; the Partnership's ability to obtain credit and access the capital markets; general economic conditions; and the effects of government regulations and policies, please consult the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), for the year ended December 31, 2013, and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC for subsequent quarters, as well as any other public filings and press releases.
