                                   (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - MANAGEMENT'S OPINION REGARDING INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations
for the interim periods included herein have been made.

         Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial
statements for the period ended June 30, 2000 to conform with the six months
ended June 30, 2001.

         The accounting policies followed by the Partnership are set forth in
Note 2 to the Partnership's consolidated financial statements included in the
Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31,
2000.

NOTE 2 - THE PARTNERSHIP

         The accompanying financial statements and related notes present the
Partnership's consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2001 and December
31, 2000 and the results of its consolidated operations, cash flows and changes
in partners' capital (deficit) for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and for
the period from commencement of operations on January 28, 2000 through June 30,
2000 (hereafter referred to as the period ended June 30, 2000).

NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

         For cash and cash equivalents, receivables and payables, the carrying
amounts approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments.

Net Income Per Unit

         There is no difference between basic and diluted net income per limited
partner unit since there are no potentially dilutive units outstanding. Net
income per limited partner unit is determined by dividing net income, after
deducting the General Partner's 2% general partner interest and incentive
interest, by the weighted average number of outstanding Common Units and
Subordinated Units (a total of 3,246,774 units for the six months ended June 30,
2001 and 3,141,026 units for the period ended June 30, 2000).

Comprehensive Income

         The Partnership is subject to the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," which requires
disclosure of comprehensive income and its components. Comprehensive income
includes net income and all other changes in equity of a business during a
period from non-owner sources. These changes, other than net income, are
referred to as "other comprehensive income." The Partnership has no material
elements of comprehensive income, other than net income, to report.

Cash Flow Statements

         For purposes of the statement of cash flows, all highly liquid debt
instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less are considered to
be cash equivalents.

NOTE 4 - DISTRIBUTION DECLARED

         On June 19, 2001, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $.67
per unit on its outstanding Common Units and Subordinated Units. The
distribution represents the available cash flow for the three months ended June
30, 2001. The $2,598,900 distribution, which included a distribution of $413,100
to the General Partner, will be paid on August 10, 2001 to unit holders of
record on June 29, 2001.

NOTE 5 - ACQUISITIONS

         In January 2001, the Partnership acquired the gas gathering system of
Kingston Oil Corporation. The gas gathering system consists of approximately 100
miles of pipeline located in southeastern Ohio. The purchase price consisted of
$1.25 million of cash and 88,235 common units. The Partnership drew on its $10.0
million line of credit in order to make the cash payment.

         In March 2001, the Partnership acquired the gas gathering system of
American Refining and Exploration Company. The gas gathering system consists of
approximately 20 miles of pipeline located in Fayette County, Pennsylvania. The
purchase price consisted of $150,000 of cash and 32,924 common units. The
Partnership drew on its $10.0 million line of credit in order to make the cash
payment.

         These acquisitions were accounted for under the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the purchase prices were allocated to the assets
acquired based on their fair values at the dates of acquisition.

NOTE 6 - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

         In July 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
No. 141 (SFAS 141), "Business Combinations" and Statement No. 142 (SFAS 142),
"Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". SFAS 141 requires all business
combination initiated after June 30, 2001 to be accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. SFAS 142 requires that goodwill and other purchased
intangible assets no longer be amortized to earnings, but instead be reviewed
for impairment. The Partnership is required to adopt SFAS 142 effective January
1, 2002.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

Forward-Looking Statements

         WHEN USED IN THIS FORM 10-Q, THE WORDS "BELIEVES," "ANTICIPATES,"
"EXPECTS" AND SIMILAR EXPRESSIONS ARE INTENDED TO IDENTIFY FORWARD LOOKING
STATEMENTS. SUCH STATEMENTS ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES WHICH
COULD CAUSE ACTUAL RESULTS TO DIFFER MATERIALLY. READERS ARE CAUTIONED NOT TO
PLACE UNDUE RELIANCE ON THESE FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS WHICH SPEAK ONLY AS OF
THE DATE HEREOF. THE COMPANY UNDERTAKES NO OBLIGATION TO PUBLICLY RELEASE THE
RESULTS OF ANY REVISIONS TO FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS WHICH MAY BE MADE TO
REFLECT EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES AFTER THE DATE HEREOF OR TO REFLECT THE
OCCURRENCE OF UNANTICIPATED EVENTS.

         Our principal business objective is to generate income for distribution
to our unitholders from the transportation of natural gas through our gathering
systems. We completed an initial public offering of our common units in February
2000 and used the proceeds of that offering to acquire the gathering systems
formerly owned by Atlas America, Inc. and its affiliates, all subsidiaries of
Resource America, Inc. The acquisition agreement provided that operations of the
gathering systems from and after January 28, 2000 would be for our account and,
accordingly, we deem January 28, 2000 to be the commencement of our operations.
The results of operations discussed below are for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2001 and for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and the period from
January 28, 2000 through June 30, 2000 (hereafter referred to as the period
ended June 30, 2000). The gathering systems gather natural gas from wells in
Eastern Ohio, Western New York, and Western Pennsylvania and transport the
natural gas primarily to public utility pipelines. To a lesser extent, the
gathering systems transport natural gas to end-users.

Results of Operations

         The following table sets forth the average volumes transported,
transportation fees and revenues received by us for the three months ended June
30, 2001 and 2000 and for the six months ended June 30, 2001 and the period
ended June 30, 2000, respectively.

(1) In units of 1,000 cubic feet ("mcf").

Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 as Compared to the Three Months Ended June

         Revenues. Our primary source of income is transportation and
compression revenue. The two variables which affect transportation and
compression revenue are:

      o  the volumes of natural gas, expressed in thousands of cubic feet, or
         "mcfs", that go through our gathering system, and

      o  the transportation fee per mcf paid to us under our master natural gas
         gathering agreement.

                                       9


         Our average daily throughput volumes were 48,554 mcfs in the three
months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to 44,013 mcfs in the three months ended
June 30, 2000, an increase of 4,541 mcfs (10%). The increase in the average
daily throughput volume resulted principally from volumes associated with
pipelines acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2001.

         Our transportation fees are primarily at fixed percentages of the sales
price of natural gas transported. Our transportation fees for natural gas
produced by Atlas America and its affiliates also have specified minimums. Our
average transportation fee was $.77 per mcf in the three months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $.57 per mcf in the three months ended June 30, 2000, an
increase of $.20 per mcf (35%). The increase in our average transportation fee
resulted from the increase in the average natural gas price received by
producers for gas transported through our pipeline system from $3.56 per mcf
during the three months ended June 30, 2000 to $5.04 per mcf for the three
months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of $1.48 (42%). We note that the average
natural gas price received by producers in the three months ended June 30, 2001
declined from that received in the three months ended March 31, 2001, resulting
in lower per mcf transportation fees for natural gas shipped in the three months
ended June 30, 2001. We cannot predict whether natural gas prices will continue
at the levels that existed during the June 30, 2001 quarter.

         Expenses. Our transportation and compression expenses increased to
$555,900 in the three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $218,900 in the
three months ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $337,000 (154%). Our average
cost per mcf of transportation and compression was $.126 in the three months
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $.055 in the three months ended June 30, 2000
an increase of $.07 (129%). This increase primarily resulted from an increase in
compressor expenses, including lease payments, in the three months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to the prior year, due to upgrades, additions and the
additional costs of $83,500 associated with operating pipelines acquired in the
three months ended March 31, 2001.

         Our general and administrative expenses increased to $279,300 in the
three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $111,500 in the three months
ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $167,800 (150%). This increase primarily
resulted from an increase in compensation and benefits incurred ($114,200) and
legal and professional fees  incurred  ($31,300), reflecting an increase in
operating activities.

         Our depreciation and amortization expense increased to $341,100 in the
three months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $325,700 in the three months
ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $15,400 (5%). This increase resulted from
the increased depreciation associated with pipeline extensions and acquisitions
in the three months ended March 31, 2001.

         Our interest expense increased to $48,600 in the three months ended
June 30, 2001 as compared to zero dollars in the three months ended June 30,
2000. This increase resulted from borrowings on our credit facility obtained in
October 2000 and drawn upon in January and March of 2001 to fund two
acquisitions.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 as Compared to the Period Ended June 30, 2000

         Our average daily throughput volumes were 45,628 mcfs in the six months
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to 43,163 mcfs in the period ended June 30,
2000, an increase of 2,465 mcfs (6%). The increase in the average daily
throughput volume resulted principally from volumes associated with pipelines
acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2001.

         Our transportation fees are primarily at fixed percentages of the sales
price of natural gas transported. Our transportation fees for natural gas
produced by Atlas America and its affiliates also have specified minimums. Our
average transportation fee was $.93 per mcf in the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $.52 per mcf in the period ended June 30, 2000, an increase
of $.41 per mcf (79%). The increase in our average transportation fee resulted
from the increase in the average natural gas price received by producers for gas
transported through our pipeline system from $3.25 per mcf during the period
ended June 30, 2000 to $5.71 per mcf for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an
increase of $2.46 (76%). We note that the average natural gas price received by
producers in the three months ended June 30, 2001 declined from that received in
the three months ended March 31, 2001, resulting in lower per mcf transportation
fees for natural gas shipped in the three months ended June 30, 2001. We cannot
predict whether natural gas prices will continue at the levels that existed
during the June 30, 2001 quarter.

         Expenses. Our transportation and compression expenses increased to
$863,100 in the six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $345,200 in the
period ended June 30, 2000, an increase of $517,900 (150%). Our average cost per
mcf of transportation and compression was $.10 in the six months ended June 30,
2001 as compared to $.05 in the period ended June 30, 2000 an increase of $.05
(100%). This increase primarily resulted from an increase in compressor
expenses, including lease payments, in the six months ended June 30, 2001 as
compared to the prior period, due to upgrades, additions and the additional
costs of $116,900 associated with operating pipelines acquired in the three
months ended March 31, 2001.

         Our general and administrative expenses increased to $552,000 in the
six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $180,500 in the period ended June
30, 2000, an increase of $371,500 (206%). This increase primarily resulted from
an increase in allocated compensation and benefits ($225,200) and legal and
professional fees ($105,300), reflecting an increase in operating activities and
a full six months of operations.

         Our depreciation and amortization expense increased to $663,300 in the
six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $514,700 in the period ended June
30, 2000, an increase of $148,600 (29%). This increase resulted from a full six
months of depreciation as well as from increased depreciation associated with
pipeline extensions and acquisitions.

         Our interest expense increased to $90,900 in the six months ended June
30, 2001 as compared to zero dollars in the period ended June 30, 2000. This
increase resulted from borrowings on our credit facility obtained in October
2000 and drawn upon in January and March of 2001 to fund two acquisitions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Since commencement of operations, the principal source of our capital
resources has been the initial offering of our common units, which resulted in
net proceeds to us of $17.4 million after offering costs and underwriting
discounts and commissions. Secondarily, we receive transportation and
compression revenue, and, in October 2000, obtained a $10.0 million revolving
credit facility. At June 30, 2001, our current ratio was 2.0 to 1.0.

         Our net cash provided by operating activities was $6,057,600 for the
six months ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $2,083,400 for the period ended
June 30, 2000. This increase primarily resulted from our increased net income,
as discussed in "Results of Operations."

         Cash used in investing activities was $2,352,300 for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $17,422,900 of cash used during the period
ended June 30, 2000. The use of cash in the June 30, 2000 period reflected our
acquisition of pipeline systems from Atlas America and its affiliates following
our initial public offering, while the use of cash in the six months ended June
30, 2001 reflected our acquisition of two small pipeline systems from third
parties.

         Cash used in financing activities was $2,250,500 for the six months
ended June 30, 2001 as compared to $16,155,700 of cash provided during the
period ended June 30, 2000. The cash provided during the period ended June 30,
2000 represents capital contributions from our partners derived from our initial
public offering. The cash used during the six months ended June 30, 2001
represents distributions to our partners less bank borrowings.

         We entered into a $10.0 million revolving credit facility in October
2000. Our principal purpose in obtaining the facility was to help fund the
expansion of our existing gathering systems and the acquisitions of other gas
gathering systems. In the six months ended June 30, 2001, we used $1.4 million
of the facility to fund, in part, the acquisitions of two gas gathering systems
and $689,000 of the facility to fund capital expenditures for expansions of our
existing gathering system.
