(1) | As reported in the 10-K filed on March 28, 2013, interest expense is amount of cash interest paid as reported on the cash flow |
(2) | As reported in the S-3 filed in December 2013—note that for interest expense, we utilized the actual cash paid as it was concluded this was a better approximation of our true fixed charges. |
(3) | Interest expense was used rather than cash interest, which was used for periods prior to 2013—immaterial to revise prior years |
General Note: The Partnership and its Predecessor have not historically capitalized interest as amounts would not be material.
