REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors of Memorial Production Partners GP LLC and
Unitholders of Memorial Production Partners LP
We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of Cinco Group, as defined in Note 1 of the combined financial statements, as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related combined statements of operations, equity, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. These combined financial statements are the responsibility of the Memorial Production Partners GP LLC’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Cinco Group as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the combined financial statements, the balance sheets, and the related statements of operations, equity, and cash flows have been prepared on a combined basis of accounting.

Note 1. Background and Basis of Presentation
Background
On July 15, 2013, Memorial Production Partners LP (the “Partnership”) announced that the Partnership, through Memorial Production Operating LLC (“Operating”), its wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into several definitive purchase and sale agreements (collectively, the “Purchase Agreements”) with operating subsidiaries of Memorial Resource Development LLC (“Memorial Resource”) and certain affiliates of Natural Gas Partners (“NGP”) to acquire, through equity and asset transactions, oil and natural gas properties primarily in the Permian Basin, East Texas and the Rockies (collectively, the “Acquisitions”).
Certain private equity funds of NGP, including two of the three NGP funds that control Memorial Resource (collectively, the “Funds”), which controls the Partnership’s general partner, also control Boaz Energy Partners, LLC (“Boaz Energy Partners”), Crown Energy Partners Holdings, LLC (“Crown Holdings”), Propel Energy, LLC (“Propel Energy”) and Stanolind Oil and Gas LP (“Stanolind”), which own certain of the oil and natural gas properties in Texas, New Mexico, and Wyoming being acquired in the Acquisitions. Memorial Resource controls Tanos Energy, LLC (“Tanos”), which owns certain of the oil and natural gas properties in Texas and Alabama being acquired in the Acquisitions. Memorial Resource also controls (i) Black Diamond Minerals, LLC (“Black Diamond”), which owns the outstanding equity interests in Prospect Energy, LLC (“Prospect”), which owns certain of the oil and natural gas properties in Colorado being acquired in the Acquisitions, and (ii) MRD Operating LLC, which owns certain of the oil and natural gas properties in Jackson County, Texas (the “MRD Assets”) being acquired in the Acquisitions.
References to “Cinco Group” for accounting and financial reporting purposes refer to the following that are being acquired by the Partnership in the Acquisitions:
| • | | Boaz Energy, LLC (“Boaz”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on June 3, 2011, which is engaged in the exploration, development, production, and sale of oil and natural gas in the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico. |
| • | | Crown Energy Partners, LLC (“Crown”), a Delaware limited liability company formed on February 27, 2008, which is engaged in the exploration, development, production, and sale of oil and natural gas in the Greater Green River Basin in southwest Wyoming. Crown commenced operations in January 2010. |
| • | | The Crown net profits overriding royalty interest and overriding royalty interest (“Crown NPI/ORRI”), which was sold and conveyed to an affiliate of NGP in January 2010 by Crown. |
| • | | Propel Energy SPV LLC (“Propel SPV”), together with its wholly-owned subsidiary Propel Energy Services, LLC (“Propel Energy Services”), which are engaged in the exploration, development, production, and sale of oil and natural gas in the Permian Basin of West Texas. Propel SPV is a Delaware limited liability company formed by Propel Energy in September 2013. Propel Energy, which was formed on October 7, 2010, conveyed substantially all of its assets and liabilities, including the outstanding equity interests in Propel Energy Services, to Propel SPV prior to the consummation of the Acquisitions. This legal reorganization was accounted for at historical cost. Propel Energy Services was formed on May 17, 2011 and provides salt water disposal services. |
| • | | Stanolind Oil and Gas SPV LLC (“Stanolind SPV”), a Delaware limited liability company formed by Stanolind during 2013, which is engaged in the exploration, development, production, and sale of oil and natural gas in the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico. Stanolind, which was formed on November 13, 2009, conveyed substantially all of its producing assets and liabilities to Stanolind SPV prior to the consummation of the Acquisitions. This legal reorganization was accounted for at historical cost. |

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
| • | | Tanos, a Delaware limited liability company formed on November 29, 2007, together with its wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries. Tanos owned certain assets for the periods presented that are not subject to the Purchase Agreements and, therefore, are not included in these combined financial statements. These assets include certain oil and natural gas properties that the Partnership acquired from Tanos in April 2012. Also excluded are certain oil and natural gas properties held by an equity method investment, of which 40% was acquired by the Partnership in conjunction with its initial public offering in December 2011 and the remaining 60% was acquired by the Partnership in March 2013. |
| • | | Prospect, which was formed on May 29, 2009 by Black Diamond. |
On October 1, 2013, the Partnership acquired substantially all of the Cinco Group for approximately $603 million, subject to customary post-closing adjustments.
Basis of Presentation
These combined financial statements of the Cinco Group are prepared in connection with the Acquisitions. The accompanying combined financial statements and related notes include the accounts of Boaz, Crown, Crown NPI/ORRI, Propel SPV, Stanolind SPV, Tanos, Prospect, and the MRD Assets, all of which were under common control and management of NGP. These combined financial statements have been prepared from the historical accounting records maintained by Boaz Energy Partners, Crown Holdings, Propel Energy, Stanolind, and Memorial Resource. These combined financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of the condition that would have existed or the results of operations that would have occurred if the Cinco Group had been operated as a separate and unaffiliated entity. All material intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in preparation of the combined financial statements. The accompanying combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements have been made.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Use of Estimates
The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant estimates include, but are not limited to, oil and natural gas reserves; depreciation, depletion, and amortization of proved oil and natural gas properties; future cash flows from oil and natural gas properties; impairment of long-lived assets; fair value of derivatives; fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations and asset retirement obligations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents represent unrestricted cash on hand and all highly liquid investments with original contractual maturities of three months or less.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Cash balances, accounts receivable, and derivative financial instruments are financial instruments potentially subject to credit risk. Cash and cash equivalents are maintained in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed the federally insured limits. Derivative financial instruments are generally executed with major financial institutions that expose the Cinco Group to market and credit risks and which may, at times, be concentrated with certain counterparties. The credit worthiness of the counterparties is subject to continual review. The Cinco Group relies upon netting arrangements with counterparties to reduce credit exposure. The Cinco Group has not experienced any losses from such instruments.
F-8
CINCO GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Oil and natural gas are sold to a variety of purchasers, including intrastate and interstate pipelines or their marketing affiliates and independent marketing companies. Accounts receivable from joint operations are from a number of oil and natural gas companies, partnerships, individuals, and others who own interests in the properties operated by the Cinco Group. Generally, operators of crude oil and natural gas properties have the right to offset future revenues against unpaid charges related to operated wells, minimizing the credit risk associated with these receivables. Additionally, management believes that any credit risk imposed by a concentration in the oil and natural gas industry is mitigated by the creditworthiness of its customer base. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded after all reasonable efforts have been exhausted to collect or settle the amount owed. Any amounts outstanding longer than the contractual terms are considered past due. Management determined that an allowance for uncollectible accounts was unnecessary at both December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
If the Cinco Group were to lose any one of its customers, the loss could temporarily delay the production and sale of oil and natural gas in the related producing region. If the Cinco Group were to lose any single customer, the Cinco Group believes that a substitute customer to purchase the impacted production volumes could be identified. However, if one or more of their larger customers ceased purchasing oil or natural gas altogether, the loss of such customer could have a detrimental effect on production volumes in general and on the ability to find substitute customers to purchase production volumes.
Oil and Natural Gas Properties
Oil and natural gas exploration, development and production activities are accounted for in accordance with the successful efforts method of accounting. Under this method, costs of acquiring properties, costs of drilling successful exploration wells, and development costs are capitalized. The costs of exploratory wells are initially capitalized pending a determination of whether proved reserves have been found. At the completion of drilling activities, the costs of exploratory wells remain capitalized if determination is made that proved reserves have been found. If no proved reserves have been found, the costs of each of the related exploratory wells are charged to expense. In some cases, a determination of proved reserves cannot be made at the completion of drilling, requiring additional testing and evaluation of the wells. The costs of such exploratory wells are expensed if a determination of proved reserves has not been made within a twelve-month period after drilling is complete. Exploration costs such as geological, geophysical, and seismic costs are expensed as incurred.
As exploration and development work progresses and the reserves on these properties are proven, capitalized costs attributed to the properties are subject to depreciation and depletion. Depletion of capitalized costs is provided using the units-of-production method based on proved oil and gas reserves related to the associated field.
On the sale or retirement of a complete or partial unit of a proved property or pipeline and related facilities, the cost and related accumulated depreciation, depletion, and amortization are removed from the property accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized.
There were no material capitalized exploratory drilling costs pending evaluation at December 2012 and 2011.
Oil and Gas Reserves
The estimates of proved oil and natural gas reserves utilized in the preparation of the consolidated and combined financial statements are estimated in accordance with the rules established by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). These rules require that reserve estimates be prepared under existing economic and operating conditions using a trailing 12-month average price with no provision for price and cost escalations in future years except by contractual arrangements.
F-9
CINCO GROUP
NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Reserve estimates are inherently imprecise. Accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as more current information becomes available. Oil and gas properties are depleted by field using the units-of-production method. Capitalized drilling and development costs of producing oil and natural gas properties are depleted over proved developed reserves and leasehold costs are depleted over total proved reserves. It is possible that, because of changes in market conditions or the inherent imprecision of reserve estimates, the estimates of future cash inflows, future gross revenues, the amount of oil and natural gas reserves, the remaining estimated lives of oil and natural gas properties, or any combination of the above may be increased or decreased. Increases in recoverable economic volumes generally reduce per unit depletion rates while decreases in recoverable economic volumes generally increase per unit depletion rates.
Impairments
Proved oil and natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate a possible decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of such properties, such as a downward revision of the reserve estimates, less than expected production, drilling results, higher operating and development costs, or lower commodity prices. The estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected in connection with the property are compared to the carrying value of the property to determine if the carrying amount is recoverable. If the carrying value of the property exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, the carrying amount of the property is reduced to its estimated fair value using Level 3 inputs. The factors used to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved reserves, future commodity prices, the timing of future production and capital expenditures and a discount rate commensurate with the risk reflective of the lives remaining for the respective oil and gas properties. Impairment expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $10.5 million and $3.3 million, respectively.
Asset Retirement Obligations
An asset retirement obligation associated with retiring long-lived assets is recognized as a liability on a discounted basis in the period in which the legal obligation is incurred and becomes determinable, with an equal amount capitalized as an addition to oil and natural gas properties, which is allocated to expense over the useful life of the asset. Generally, oil and gas producing companies incur such a liability upon acquiring or drilling a well. Accretion expense is recognized over time as the discounted liabilities are accreted to their expected settlement value. Upon settlement of the liability, a gain or loss is recognized as a component of exploration costs to the extent the actual costs differ from the recorded liability. See Note 6 for further discussion of asset retirement obligations.
Other Property & Equipment
Other property and equipment is stated at historical cost and is comprised primarily of vehicles, furniture, fixtures, and computer hardware and software. Depreciation of other property and equipment is generally calculated using the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of three to five years.
Debt Issuance Costs
These costs are recorded on the balance sheet and amortized over the term of the associated debt using the straight-line method which approximates the effective yield method. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $0.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from the sale of oil and natural gas is recognized when title passes, net of royalties due to third parties. Oil and natural gas revenues are recorded using the sales method. Under this method, revenues are recognized based on actual volumes of oil and natural gas sold to purchasers, regardless of whether the sales are proportionate to our ownership in the property. An asset or a liability is recognized to the extent that there is an imbalance in excess of the proportionate share of the remaining recoverable reserves on the underlying properties. No significant imbalances existed at December 31, 2012 or 2011.

Enserco Energy, Inc. | | n/a | | 12% | |
Derivative Instruments
Commodity derivative financial instruments (e.g., swaps, floors, collars, and put options) are used to reduce the impact of natural gas and oil price fluctuations. Interest rate swaps are used to manage exposure to interest rate volatility, primarily as a result of variable rate borrowings under credit facilities. Every derivative instrument is recorded on the balance sheet as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. Changes in the derivative’s fair value are recognized in earnings as none of the entities or assets that comprise the Cinco Group elected hedge accounting for any of its derivative positions.
Income Tax
Each of the Cinco Group entities is organized as a pass-through entity for income tax purposes. As a result, their members are responsible for federal income taxes on their share of the combined taxable income. Certain Cinco Group entities are also subject to the Texas margin tax and certain aspects of the tax make it similar to an income tax as the tax is assessed on 1% of taxable margin apportioned to operations in Texas.
The Cinco Group must recognize the tax effects of any uncertain tax positions adopted, if the position taken is more likely than not sustainable based on its technical merits. If a tax position meets such criteria, the tax effect that would be recognized by the Cinco Group would be the largest amount of benefit with more than a 50% chance of being realized. There were no uncertain tax positions that required recognition in the financial statements at December 31, 2012 or 2011.

Incentive Units
The governing documents of certain entities within the Cinco Group provide for the issuance of incentive units. The incentive units are accounted for as liability awards with compensation expense based on period-end fair value. The incentive units are subject to performance conditions that affects their vesting. Compensation cost is recognized only if the performance condition is probable of being satisfied at each reporting date. Sufficient cash flows from operations or otherwise must be generated to support the declaration of a distribution large enough to trigger the vesting of the incentive units. No compensation cost has been recorded related to incentive units for the periods presented; however, Tanos recognized compensation expense related to the forfeiture of incentive units during April 2013 as further discussed in Note 11.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Fair Value Measurements. In May 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that amended previous fair value measurement and disclosure guidance. These amendments generally involve clarifications on how to measure and disclose fair value amounts recognized in the financial statements. They also expand the disclosure requirements, particularly for Level 3 fair value measurements, to include a description of the valuation processes used and an analysis of the sensitivity of the fair value measurements to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs, if any. The Cinco Group adopted this guidance on January 1, 2012 prospectively, and the guidance did not have a material impact on the combined financial statements.

Offsetting Disclosure Requirements. In December 2011, the FASB issued an accounting standard update intended to enhance current disclosure requirements on offsetting financial assets and liabilities. In January 2013, the FASB issued an accounting standard update to clarify the scope of offsetting disclosure requirements. The new disclosure requirements will require the disclosure of both gross and net information about derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse purchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions eligible for offset on the balance sheet or subject to a master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Disclosure of collateral received and posted in connection with master netting agreements or similar arrangements is also required. The disclosures will be effective for annual and interim periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and must be applied retrospectively. The Cinco Group does not believe adoption of this new guidance will have a significant impact on the combined financial statements.
Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures
The third party acquisitions discussed below were accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the Cinco Group conducted assessments of net assets acquired and recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while acquisition costs associated with the acquisitions were expensed as incurred. The operating revenues and expenses of acquired properties are included in the accompanying financial statements from their respective closing dates forward. The transactions were financed through capital contributions and borrowings under credit facilities.
The fair values of oil and natural gas properties are measured using valuation techniques that convert future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation of oil and natural properties include estimates of: (i) economic reserves; (ii) future operating and development costs; (iii) future commodity prices; and (iv) a market-based weighted average cost of capital.
2012 Acquisitions
Collectively, the Cinco Group consummated multiple acquisitions during 2012 by acquiring operating and non-operating interests in certain oil and natural gas properties primarily located in various Texas and New Mexico counties for an aggregate adjusted purchase price of $150.7 million, the largest of which was completed in July by Stanolind. In July 2012, Stanolind completed an acquisition of working interests, royalty interests and net revenue interests (the “Menemsha Acquisition”) located in various counties in Texas for a final purchase price of $74.7 million. During the year ended December 31, 2012, approximately $4.9 million of revenue and $0.9 million of earnings were recorded in the statements of operations related to the Menemsha Acquisition subsequent to the closing date.

Divestitures
The Cinco Group sold certain interests in oil and gas properties offshore Louisiana during 2012 for an aggregate $40.1 million to an NGP controlled entity, of which $38.1 million was received. As of December 31, 2012, the remaining proceeds were held in escrow and included in restricted cash in the balance sheet. The remaining proceeds were released from escrow in April 2013. Due to common control considerations, the proceeds from the sale exceeded the net book value of the properties sold by $6.3 million and was recognized in the equity statement as a net contribution.
On July 11, 2012, the Cinco Group completed the sale of a portion of its oil and gas assets located in Garza County, Texas to a third party for $26.1 million and recognized a gain of approximately $7.6 million. On September 18, 2012, the Cinco Group completed the sale of a portion of its oil and gas assets located in Ector County, Texas to third party for $4.7 million and recognized a gain of approximately $2.2 million.
The majority of the proceeds generated from these sales were used to acquire operating and non-operating interests in certain oil and natural gas properties located primarily in various Texas and New Mexico counties.
Note 4. Fair Value Measurements of Financial Instruments
Fair value is defined 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 a specified measurement date. Fair value estimates are based on either (i) actual market data or (ii) assumptions that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including estimates of risk. A three-tier hierarchy has been established that classifies fair value amounts recognized or disclosed in the financial statements. The hierarchy considers fair value amounts based on observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) to be more reliable and predictable than those based primarily on unobservable inputs (Level 3). The characteristics of fair value amounts classified within each level of the hierarchy are described as follows:
Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. An active market is one in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur in sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
F-13
Level 2 — Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Substantially all of these inputs are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data, or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, all of the derivative instruments reflected on the accompanying balance sheets were considered Level 2.
Level 3 — Measure based on prices or valuation models that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and are less observable from objective sources (i.e., supported by little or no market activity).
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payables (including accrued liabilities) and amounts outstanding under long-term debt agreements included in the accompanying balance sheets approximated fair value at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011.
The fair market values of the derivative financial instruments reflected on the balance sheets as of December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were based on estimated forward commodity prices and forward interest rate yield curves. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. The following table presents the derivative assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 for each of the fair value hierarchy levels:

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
Certain assets and liabilities are reported at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as reflected on the balance sheets. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair values:
| • | | The fair value of asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) is based on discounted cash flow projections using numerous estimates, assumptions, and judgments regarding such factors as the existence of a legal obligation for an ARO; amounts and timing of settlements; the credit-adjusted risk-free rate; and inflation rates. See Note 6 for a summary of changes in AROs. |
| • | | If sufficient market data is not available, the determination of the fair values of proved and unproved properties acquired in transactions accounted for as business combinations are prepared by utilizing estimates of discounted cash flow projections. The factors to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, estimates of: (i) economic reserves; (ii) future operating and development costs; (iii) future commodity prices; and (iv) a market-based weighted average cost of capital. |
| • | | Proved oil and natural gas properties are reviewed for impairment when events and circumstances indicate a possible decline in the recoverability of the carrying value of such properties. The factors used to determine fair value include, but are not limited to, estimates of proved reserves, future commodity prices, the timing of future production and capital expenditures and a discount rate commensurate with the risk reflective of the lives remaining for the respective oil and gas properties. |
During 2011, approximately $1.7 million of the $3.3 million of impairments related to a particular lease in the Dimmitt (Delaware Cons) Field located in the Permian Basin that Propel Energy had acquired in June 2011. During 2012, approximately $8.0 million of the $10.5 million of impairments related to a particular lease in the Elkhorn (Ellenburger) and Canyon Fields located in the Permian Basin that Propel Energy had acquired in April 2012. The lease in the Dimmitt (Delaware Cons) Field that was impaired during 2011 was further impaired by approximately $1.7 million during 2012. For these impairments, the estimated future cash flows expected from properties in these fields were compared to their carrying values and determined to be unrecoverable as a result of a downward revision of estimated proved reserves due to unfavorable drilling results in the area.
Note 5. Risk Management and Derivative Instruments
Derivative instruments are utilized to manage exposure to commodity price and interest rate fluctuations and achieve a more predictable cash flow in connection with natural gas and oil sales from production and borrowing related activities. These transactions limit exposure to declines in prices or increases in interest rates, but also limit the benefits that would be realized if prices increase or interest rates decrease.
Certain inherent business risks are associated with commodity and interest derivative contracts, including market risk and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the price of natural gas or oil will change, either favorably or unfavorably, in response to changing market conditions. Credit risk is the risk of loss from nonperformance by the counterparty to a contract. The Cinco Group enters into derivative contracts, including interest rate swaps, only with counterparties that are creditworthy financial institutions deemed by management as competent and competitive market makers. Each of the counterparties to the Cinco Group derivative contracts is a lender under each of their respective credit agreements. While collateral is generally not required to be posted by counterparties, credit risk associated with derivative instruments is minimized by limiting exposure to any single counterparty and entering into derivative instruments only with counterparties that are large financial institutions, which management believes present minimal credit risk. Additionally, master netting agreements are used to mitigate risk of loss due to default with counterparties on derivative instruments. Entities within the Cinco Group have also entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association Master Agreements (“ISDA Agreements”) with each of their respective counterparties. The terms of the ISDA Agreements provide each such entity within the Cinco Group and each of their respective counterparties with rights of set-off upon the occurrence of defined acts of default, whereby the party not in default may set-off all liabilities owed to the defaulting party against all net derivative asset receivables from the defaulting party. Cinco Group’s maximum credit exposure for derivative instruments was $6.1 million at December 31, 2012. See Note 7 for additional information in regards to the Cinco Group revolving credit facilities.

Commodity Derivatives
A combination of commodity derivatives (e.g., floating-for-fixed swaps, collars, and calls) is used to manage exposure to commodity price volatility. Generally, natural gas derivative contracts are entered into and indexed to NYMEX Henry Hub and regional indices that are in proximity to the Cinco Group areas of production. Generally, oil derivative contracts are entered into and indexed to NYMEX WTI. At December 31, 2012, the Cinco Group had the following open commodity positions:

NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
During 2012, the Cinco Group received an equity contribution of $6.9 million of oil and gas properties in the Hendricks Field located in the Permian Basin of Texas by an NGP controlled entity. Due to common control considerations, this equity contribution was recorded at historical cost of the properties.
During 2012, Boaz reimbursed a member of its management team approximately $0.3 million in general, administrative, and lease operating expenses related to an oral lease agreement between the member of management and a third party for a field office and yard located in Bronte, Texas.
See Note 3 for additional information regarding the divestiture of certain interests in oil and gas properties offshore Louisiana that the Cinco Group sold during 2012 to an NGP controlled entity.
Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation & Environmental
As part of normal business activities, the Cinco Group may be named as defendants in litigation and legal proceedings, including those arising from regulatory and environmental matters. Although the Cinco Group is insured against various risks, there is no assurance that the nature and amount of such insurance will be adequate, in every case, to indemnify the Cinco Group against liabilities arising from future legal proceedings. The Cinco Group is not aware of any pending or threatened litigation believed to be reasonably likely to have a significant adverse effect on the combined financial position, results of operations or cash flows of the Cinco Group.
Environmental costs for remediation are accrued based on estimates of known remediation requirements. Such accruals are based on management’s best estimate of the ultimate cost to remediate a site and are adjusted as further information and circumstances develop. Those estimates may change substantially depending on information about the nature and extent of contamination, appropriate remediation technologies and regulatory approvals. Expenditures to mitigate or prevent future environmental contamination are capitalized. Ongoing environmental compliance costs are charged to expense as incurred. In accruing for environmental remediation liabilities, costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation are not discounted to their present value, unless the amount and timing of the expenditures are fixed or reliably determinable. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, there were no accrued environmental liabilities.
Operating Leases
For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Cinco Group recognized rent expense of $1.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, associated with equipment rentals, office space and surface rentals.
Amounts shown in the following table represent minimum lease payment obligations under non-cancelable operating leases with a remaining term in excess of one year as of December 31, 2012:

Note 11. Subsequent Events
Purchase & Sale Agreement
Propel Energy acquired incremental interests in certain oil and gas properties and leases in the Hendrick Field located in Winkler County, Texas from two third parties in three separate transactions for approximately $8.5 million during the seven months ended July 31, 2013. The purchase price was allocated to oil and gas properties. These acquisitions were funded with cash on hand.
Tanos Management Team Equity Interest
On April 1, 2013, Tanos’ management team sold its 1.066% interest in Tanos to Memorial Resource and all incentive units held were forfeited. In connection with this sale, all of Tanos’ employees resigned and became employees of Tanos Exploration II, LLC (“Tanos II”), a Texas limited liability company controlled by the former management team of Tanos. Effective April 1, 2013, Tanos II entered into a Transition Services Agreement with Tanos, whereby Tanos II would manage the operations of Tanos for up to a 6-month period of time. Tanos II is an unrelated entity.
The governing documents of Tanos provided for the issuance of incentive units. Tanos granted incentive units to certain of its members who were key employees at the time of grant. Holders of incentive units were entitled to distributions when declared, but only after cumulative distribution thresholds had been achieved (i.e., recovery of specified members’ capital contributions plus a rate of return). These incentive units were accounted for as liability awards with compensation expense based on period-end fair value. The incentive units were subject to performance conditions that affected their vesting. Compensation cost was recognized only if the performance condition was probable of being satisfied at each reporting date. Sufficient cash flows from operations or otherwise had to be generated to support the declaration of a distribution large enough to trigger the vesting of the incentive units. No compensation cost was recorded related to incentive units prior to the incentive units being forfeited on April 1, 2013. Compensation expense of approximately $5.8 million was recorded by Tanos and recognized as general and administrative expense during April 2013.

Standardized Measure of Discounted Future Net Cash Flows from Proved Reserves
As required by the FASB and SEC, the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows presented below is computed by applying first-day-of-the-month average prices, year-end costs and legislated tax rates and a discount factor of 10 percent to proved reserves. The standardized measure does not necessarily provide a reliable estimate of expected future cash flows to be obtained from the development and production of oil and gas properties or of the value of proved oil and gas reserves. The standardized measure is prepared on the basis of certain prescribed assumptions including first-day-of-the-month average prices, which represent discrete points in time and therefore may cause significant variability in cash flows from year to year as prices change.
Oil and Natural Gas Reserves
Users of this information should be aware that the process of estimating quantities of “proved” and “proved developed” oil and natural gas reserves is very complex, requiring significant subjective decisions in the evaluation of all available geological, engineering and economic data for each reservoir. The data for a given reservoir may also change substantially over time as a result of numerous factors including, but not limited to, additional development activity, evolving production history and continual reassessment of the viability of production under varying economic conditions. As a result, revisions to existing reserve estimates may occur from time to time. Although every reasonable effort is made to ensure reserve estimates reported represent the most accurate assessments possible, the subjective decisions and variances in available data for various reservoirs make these estimates generally less precise than other estimates included in the financial statement disclosures.
Proved reserves are those quantities of oil and natural gas that by analysis of geoscience and engineering data can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible — from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods and government regulations — prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. The project to extract the hydrocarbons must have commenced or the operator must be reasonably certain that it will commence the project within a reasonable time.
The Cinco Group’s estimated proved reserves were prepared by Memorial Resource internal petroleum reservoir engineers for all periods presented. All proved reserves are located in the United States and all prices are held constant in accordance with SEC rules.
The weighted-average benchmark product prices used for valuing the reserves are based upon the average of the first-day-of-the-month price for each month within the period January through December of each year presented:
