INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
To the Members
Costar Midstream LLC
Dallas, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Costar Midstream LLC and subsidiaries, (collectively, the “Company”) which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, members’ capital and cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from March 25, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2011, and the related notes to the financial statements.
Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Costar Midstream LLC as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 and for the period from March 25, 2011 (inception) through December 31, 2011 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

COSTAR MIDSTREAM, LLC
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| |
1. | Description of Business |
Costar Midstream LLC (the “Company”), a Texas limited liability company, was established on March 25, 2011 as a midstream natural gas business. Operations through December 31, 2011 consisted of the leasing of certain processing assets. The Company’s operations are established under the wholly owned subsidiaries Costar GS GP, LLC, Costar GS LP, LLC, and Costar Permian LLC, and the majority (75%) owned TranStar Gas Processing LLC (“TranStar”). On December 31, 2012, the Company committed to a plan to dispose of TranStar, and all operations of TranStar are therefore reclassified to discontinued operations at December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.
On January 4, 2012, Costar GS GP LLC and Costar GS LP LLC purchased all of the issued and outstanding general and limited partnership interests of Gas Solutions II Ltd, a Texas limited partnership. Gas Solutions II Ltd operates over 600 miles of gathering pipe and three cryogenic gas processing plants in East Texas. The partnership is owned by Costar GS GP, LLC (1% interest - general partner) and Costar GS LP, LLC (99% interest- limited partner).
On August 19, 2013, the Company established Costar Permian LLC, a Texas limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary, in order to construct and operate midstream natural gas assets in the Permian Basin.
The Company is organized as a limited liability company among Costar Midstream Energy, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, as managing member and Energy Spectrum Partners VI LP, a Delaware limited partnership, (“VI LP”).

2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
The Company has committed to a plan to dispose of TranStar. As of January 1, 2012, all of the operations, as well as the resulting loss recognized from the exit activity, are reported as discontinued operations in the consolidated financial statements. Prior period operations have been reclassified to discontinued operations. See Note 4.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Cash held by TranStar is considered restricted pending the units’ disposition. Cash held by TranStar as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $500 and $855, respectively. Cash held by Costar Permian LLC exclusively for the construction of midstream natural gas assets in the Permian Basin of $21,825 at December 31, 2013 is considered restricted.
Accounts Receivable
Receivables consist of amounts due from the sale of natural gas liquid products and dry gas sales and the amounts billed for management and processing fees pursuant to operating agreements with various customers. Management periodically reviews accounts receivable amounts for collectability and records an allowance for uncollectible receivables under specific identification method. The Company recorded no allowance for uncollectible receivables at December 31, 2013 and 2012.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments consist of cash, trade receivables, trade payables, and accrued liabilities. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, trade payables and accrued liabilities are considered to be representative of their fair market value, due to the short maturity of these instruments.
Processing Equipment
Processing equipment is recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation expense is provided using the straight-line method, which, in the opinion of management, is adequate to allocate the costs of these assets over the estimated useful lives as follows:
|
| | |
Processing plant | | 10 years |
Pipeline and related equipment | | 10 years |
Buildings | | 25 years |
Office equipment and vehicles | | 3 to 10 years |
Processing equipment consists of the following:
|
| | | | |
| | 2013 | | 2012 |
Processing plant | | $55,542 | | $50,409 |
Pipeline and related equipment | | 138,924 | | 131,247 |
Buildings | | 1,702 | | 1,624 |
Construction in progress | | 2,455 | | 2,230 |
Land | | 341 | | 341 |
Office equipment and vehicles | | 1,119 | | 754 |
Total processing equipment | | $200,083 | | $186,605 |
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Costs of major replacements and betterments are capitalized. When property is retired or otherwise disposed of, the cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from appropriate accounts and any gain or loss is included in income. Depreciation expense of $18,835 and $17,602 was recognized on other property and processing equipment for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may be impaired. Based upon this evaluation, the Company recorded an impairment of $382 and $1,464 related to the discontinuation and sale of its interest in TranStar assets which are classified as held-for-sale for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Note Receivable - Managing Member
On October 30, 2013, the Company entered into a $3,437 promissory note receivable with its managing member. Interest accrues at an annual rate of 4%. The note is due and payable in full upon the date that the Company makes any distribution to the holders of any equity interest. Interest income from the managing member was $24 for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Deferred Financing Costs
The Company incurred debt issuance costs in the course of obtaining financing under a credit facility. These costs are recorded on the balance sheet and amortized over the term of the debt using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective yield method. As of and for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, amortization expense of $244 and $308, respectively, was recognized on deferred financing costs using the effective yield method and are included in interest expense. There was no amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Revenue
The Company generates revenue from gas gathering/compression, NGL processing, transportation, fractionation services, and trucked condensate stabilization. NGL products are sold at Mt. Belvieu, TX pricing and condensate is sold at OPIS pricing. Compression, transportation and fractionation services are contract based fees. Related cost of sales are either a percentage of proceeds, wellhead purchase, or redelivered equivalent wellhead volumes. All products are metered and revenues are recognized on a monthly basis for product delivered.
Derivative Activity
The Company entered into certain commodity and financial derivative contracts to reduce their exposure to fluctuations in natural gas liquids prices and future interest rate increases. Derivative instruments are not designated
as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Unrealized gains and losses, at fair value, are included on the balance sheet as current or non-current assets or liabilities based on the anticipated timing of cash settlements under the related contracts. Changes in the fair values of commodity derivative instruments and cash flows resulting from the settlement of instruments are included in other income (expense) in the statement of operations. Changes in the fair value of the financial derivative instrument and cash flows resulting from the settlement of that instrument are included in interest expense in the statement of operations. See Note 5.
Processing Contracts
Acquired processing equipment contracts are amortized using the effective interest method over the estimated remaining lives of the contracts of approximately 7 years. Amortization expense of $62 and $5 was recognized on processing contracts costs using the straight-line method amortization on these processing contracts for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. There was no amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2011.
Income Taxes
The Company is not subject to federal income taxation because the effects of its activities accrue to the members. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes is included in the accompanying financial statements. The Company remains liable for state income taxes. The Company accounts for state income taxes in accordance with the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences, at enacted statutory rates, between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax bases of existing assets and liabilities. Income tax expense or benefit represents the current tax payable or refundable for the period, plus or minus the tax effect of the net change in the deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Company has reflected in the accompanying financial statements their liability for state income taxes due and payable by the Company. The primary difference resulting in a deferred tax liability reflected in the financial statements is the result of differences between book and tax depreciation.
The Company is subject to certain provisions related to uncertain tax positions. The Company has reviewed their pass-through status and determined no uncertain tax positions exist. The Company’s income tax returns for the years 2012 and 2011 remain open for examination by the respective federal and state authorities.
Risks and Uncertainties
The Company maintains their cash balances primarily in one financial institution. The balances are partially insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At December 31, 2013, the Company had uninsured cash balances which exceeded FDIC insured limits.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Acquisitions of property are accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the associated revenue and expenses are included in the Company’s statement of operations from the closing date of the acquisition. Purchase prices are allocated to acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated fair value at the time of the acquisition.
Gas Solutions II, Ltd
In January 2012, the Company purchased all of the issued and outstanding general and limited partnership interests of Gas Solutions II Ltd, a Texas limited partnership, for $172,526 cash plus a contingent payment whose estimated fair value was determined to be $4,164 and is capped at $28,000. The contingent payment is based upon 20% of cash flow after a return of 200% initial investment adjusted for debt principal and interest payments, and income taxes. Amortization of this contingent consideration was $195 and $188 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and is included in interest expense.
The transaction was funded by $91,000 of equity contributions and a syndicate bank facility consisting of a term note and revolving line of credit. See Note 6.
The fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed were based on third-party appraisal and internal estimates utilizing replacement cost, depreciation factors, or other reasonable methods. The allocation to assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of January 4, 2012 were as follows:
|
| | | | | | |
Cash | | | | $ | 1,169 |

Fair Value
Accounting standards define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company uses market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company primarily applies the market approach for recurring fair value measurements and attempt to use the best available information. Accounting standards establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). The three levels of fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date. At December 31, 2013, the Company had no Level 1 measurements.
Level 2: Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date. Level 2 includes those financial instruments that are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. These models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments, as well as other relevant economic measures. Where observable inputs are available, directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized in Level 2. At December 31, 2013, the Company’s commodity and financial derivatives were measured using Level 2 measurements.
Level 3: Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable from objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management’s best estimate of fair value. At the acquisition date, the contingent liability described at Note 3 estimated fair value was based upon 20% of cash flow of the Longview and Chapel Hill plants for the next five years after a return of 200% initial investment adjusted for debt principal and interest payments, and income taxes. There are no substantial changes to the contingent liability at December 31, 2013.
The Company financed the Gas Solutions acquisition utilizing a $70,000 term debt with a seven-year payment amortization maturing on November 30, 2016, and a $35,000 revolving line of credit maturing on January 4, 2017. As of December 31, 2013, there is no outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit. The interest rate offers a Eurodollar or prime rate component plus an applicable margin grid based upon various leverage ratios and includes a commitment fee. The debt is collateralized by a security interest to all property of the Company, whether now or
hereafter existing, owned, arising, or acquired. The effective interest rate as of December 31, 2013 was 2.16% on the term debt.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the credit facility, the Company may require issue of letters of credit in an aggregate amount of $10,000. No such letters are drawn as of December 31, 2013.
Under the terms of the credit facility, the Company must maintain certain financial ratios including a ratio of debt to EBITDA of no more than 4.0 to 1.0 and an EBITDA to fixed charges ratio of no less than 1.25 to 1.0. At December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with these debt covenants.
