REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Board of Directors and Unitholders

Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P. (a Delaware limited partnership) and subsidiaries (the “Partnership”) as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013, based on criteria established in the 1992 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 20, 2014 expressed an unqualified opinion.

ATLAS PIPELINE PARTNERS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a publicly-traded (NYSE: APL) Delaware limited partnership engaged in the gathering, processing and treating of natural gas in the mid-continent and southwestern regions of the United States; natural gas gathering services in the Appalachian Basin in the northeastern region of the United States; and the transportation of NGLs in the southwestern region of the United States. The Partnership’s operations are conducted through subsidiary entities whose equity interests are owned by Atlas Pipeline Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership. At December 31, 2013, Atlas Pipeline Partners GP, LLC (the “General Partner”) owned a combined 2.0% general partner interest in the consolidated operations of the Partnership, through which it manages and effectively controls both the Partnership and the Operating Partnership. The General Partner is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atlas Energy, L.P. (“ATLS”), a publicly-traded limited partnership (NYSE: ATLS). The remaining 98.0% ownership interest in the consolidated operations consists of limited partner interests. At December 31, 2013, the Partnership had 80,585,148 common units outstanding, including 1,641,026 common units held by the General Partner and 4,113,227 common units held by ATLS; and 13,823,869 Class D convertible preferred units (“Class D Preferred Units”) outstanding (see Note 5).

The Partnership has revised the presentation of its consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) in order to more clearly distinguish the amounts of other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to each of the common unitholders, preferred unitholders, and the non-controlling interest. This change in presentation has been applied to all periods presented. The previously reported amounts of other comprehensive income (loss) attributable to the common limited partners and the General Partner did not change for any period.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Non-Controlling Interest

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership, the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership’s wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. The General Partner’s interest in the Operating Partnership is reported as part of its overall 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

The Partnership’s consolidated financial statements include its 95% interest in joint ventures, which individually own a 100% interest in the WestOK natural gas gathering system and processing plants and a 72.8% undivided interest in the WestTX natural gas gathering system and processing plants. These joint ventures have a $1.9 billion note receivable from the holder of the non-controlling interest in the joint ventures, which is reflected within non-controlling interests on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Partnership’s consolidated financial statements also include its 60% interest in Centrahoma Processing LLC (“Centrahoma”). The remaining 40% ownership interest is held by MarkWest Oklahoma Gas Company LLC (“MarkWest”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: MWE).

The Partnership consolidates 100% of these joint ventures and reflects the non-controlling interest in the joint ventures on its statements of operations. The Partnership also reflects the non-controlling interest in the net assets of the joint venture as a component of equity on its consolidated balance sheets.

 

F-10


The WestTX joint venture has a 72.8% undivided joint interest in the WestTX system, of which the remaining 27.2% interest is owned by Pioneer Natural Resources Company (NYSE: PXD) (“Pioneer”). Due to the ownership of the WestTX system being in the form of an undivided interest, the WestTX joint venture proportionally consolidates its 72.8% ownership interest in the assets and liabilities and operating results of the WestTX system.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and all other changes in the equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources that, under GAAP, have not been recognized in the calculation of net income (loss). These changes, other than net income (loss), are referred to as “other comprehensive income (loss)” and for the Partnership only include changes in the fair value of unsettled derivative contracts, which were previously accounted for as cash flow hedges (see Note 10). These contracts are wholly-owned by the Partnership and the related gains and losses are not shared with the non-controlling interests. The Partnership does not have any other type of transaction which would be included within other comprehensive income (loss). During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Partnership reclassified $4.4 million and $6.8 million, respectively, from other comprehensive income to natural gas and liquids sales within the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, all amounts had been reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and the Partnership had no amounts outstanding within accumulated other comprehensive income.

Equity Method Investments

The Partnership’s consolidated financial statements include its previously owned 49% non-controlling interest in Laurel Mountain Midstream, LLC joint venture (“Laurel Mountain”) until it was sold in February 2011; its 20% interest in West Texas LPG Pipeline Limited Partnership (“WTLPG”); and its interests in T2 LaSalle Gathering Company L.L.C. (“T2 LaSalle”), T2 Eagle Ford Gathering Company L.L.C. (“T2 Eagle Ford”), and T2 EF Cogeneration Holdings L.L.C. (“T2 Co-Gen”) (the “T2 Joint Ventures”), which were acquired as part of the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of TEAK Midstream, LLC (“TEAK”) for $974.7 million in cash, including final purchase price adjustments, less cash received (the “TEAK Acquisition”) (see Notes 3 and 4). The Partnership accounts for its investments in these joint ventures under the equity method of accounting. Under this method, the Partnership records its proportionate share of the joint ventures’ net income (loss) as equity income on its consolidated statements of operations. Investments in excess of the underlying net assets of equity method investees identifiable to property, plant and equipment or finite lived intangible assets are amortized over the useful life of the related assets and recorded as a reduction to equity investment on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheet with an offsetting reduction to equity income on the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations. Excess investment representing equity method goodwill is not subject to amortization and is accounted for as a component of the investment. No goodwill was recorded on the acquisition of Laurel Mountain, WTLPG, or the T2 Joint Ventures. Equity method investments are subject to impairment evaluation. The Partnership noted no indicators of impairment for its equity method investments as of December 31, 2013 or 2012.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities that exist at the date of the Partnership’s consolidated financial

 

F-11


statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. The Partnership’s consolidated financial statements are based on a number of significant estimates, including revenue and expense accruals, depreciation and amortization, asset impairment, the fair value of derivative instruments, the probability of forecasted transactions, the allocation of purchase price to the fair value of assets acquired and other items. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The natural gas industry principally conducts its business by processing actual transactions at the end of the month following the month of delivery. Consequently, the most current month’s financial results were recorded using estimated volumes and commodity market prices. Differences between estimated and actual amounts are recorded in the following month’s financial results. Management of the Partnership believes the operating results presented represent actual results in all material respects (see “–Revenue Recognition” accounting policy for further description).

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. These cash equivalents consist principally of temporary investments of cash in short-term money market instruments. Checks outstanding at the end of a period that exceed available cash balances held at the bank are considered to be book overdrafts and are reclassified to accounts payable. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership reclassified the balance related to book overdrafts of $28.8 million and $27.6 million, respectively, from cash and cash equivalents to accounts payable on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets.

Receivables

In evaluating the realizability of its accounts receivable, the Partnership performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and the customer’s current creditworthiness, as determined by the Partnership’s review of its customers’ credit information. The Partnership extends credit on an unsecured basis to many of its customers. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership recorded no allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable on its consolidated balance sheets.

NGL Linefill

The Partnership had $14.5 million and $7.8 million of NGL linefill at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which was included within prepaid expenses and other on its consolidated balance sheets. The NGL linefill represents amounts receivable for NGLs delivered to counterparties for which the counterparty will pay at a designated later period at a price determined by the then current market price (see Note 11).

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost or, upon acquisition of a business, at the fair value of the assets acquired. Maintenance and repairs which generally do not extend the useful life of an asset for two or more years through the replacement of critical components are expensed as incurred. Major renewals and improvements that generally extend the useful life of an asset for two or more years through the replacement of critical components are capitalized. The Partnership capitalizes interest on borrowed funds related to capital projects for periods during which activities are in progress to bring these projects to their intended use. Depreciation and amortization expense is based on cost less the estimated salvage value primarily using the straight-line method over the asset’s estimated useful life. The Partnership follows the composite method of depreciation and has determined the composite groups to be

 

F-12


the major asset classes of its gathering, processing and treating systems. Under the composite depreciation method, any gain or loss upon disposition or retirement of pipeline, gas gathering, processing and treating components, is recorded to accumulated depreciation. When entire pipeline systems, gas plants or other property and equipment are retired or sold, any gain or loss is included in the Partnership’s results of operations.

Leased property and equipment meeting capital lease criteria are capitalized based on the minimum payments required under the lease and are included within property, plant and equipment on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets (see Note 6). Obligations under capital leases are accounted for as current and noncurrent liabilities and are included within debt on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets (see Note 13). Amortization is calculated on a straight-line method based upon the estimated useful lives of the assets.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Partnership reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If it is determined an asset’s estimated future undiscounted cash flows will not be sufficient to recover its carrying amount, an impairment charge will be recorded to reduce the carrying amount for that asset to its estimated fair value, if such carrying amount exceeds the fair value. The fair value measurement of a long-lived asset is based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs (see “–Fair Value of Financial Instruments”). No impairment charges were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

Asset Retirement Obligation

The Partnership performs ongoing analysis of asset removal and site restoration costs that the Partnership may be required to perform under law or contract once an asset has been permanently taken out of service. The Partnership has property, plant and equipment at locations owned by the Partnership and at sites leased or under right of way agreements. The Partnership is under no contractual obligation to remove the assets at locations it owns. In evaluating its asset retirement obligation, the Partnership reviews its lease agreements, right of way agreements, easements and permits to determine which agreements, if any, require an asset removal and restoration obligation. Determination of the amounts to be recognized is based upon numerous estimates and assumptions, including expected settlement dates, future retirement costs, future inflation rates and the credit-adjusted-risk-free interest rates. However, the Partnership was not able to reasonably measure the fair value of the asset retirement obligation as of December 31, 2013 or 2012 because the settlement dates were indeterminable. Any cost incurred in the future to remove assets and restore sites will be expensed as incurred.

Goodwill

Goodwill is the cost of an acquisition less the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired business. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (also known as a component). A component of an operating segment is a reporting unit if the component constitutes a business for which discrete financial information is available, and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of that component. The Partnership evaluates goodwill for impairment annually, on December 31 for all reporting units, except SouthTX, which will be evaluated on April 30. The Partnership also evaluates goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The Partnership first assesses qualitative factors to evaluate whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is

 

F-13


less than its carrying amount as the basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If a two-step process goodwill impairment test is required, the first step involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit, to which goodwill has been allocated, with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, the second step of the process involves comparing the implied fair value to the carrying value of the goodwill for that reporting unit. If the carrying value of the goodwill of a reporting unit exceeds the implied fair value of that goodwill, the excess of the carrying value over the implied fair value is recognized as an impairment loss.

The Partnership completed a qualitative test for goodwill for its WestOK reporting unit and determined there were no substantive changes during the current year and no indication of impairment. The Partnership completed the first step of the goodwill impairment test for its SouthOK reporting unit and determined the reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount and, therefore, the second step of the two-step goodwill impairment test was unnecessary. The Partnership completed the two step goodwill impairment test for the Gas Treating reporting unit and determined the goodwill was impaired and recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $43.9 million (see Note 7). The Partnership performed a review for triggering events for the goodwill recorded on the SouthTX reporting unit and noted there were no substantive changes. A full impairment evaluation of the goodwill recorded on the SouthTX reporting unit will be performed once final purchase price adjustments have been made and the measurement period is completed. No goodwill impairments charges were recognized for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 (see Note 7).

Intangible Assets

The Partnership amortizes intangible assets with finite useful lives over their estimated useful lives. If an intangible asset has a finite useful life, but the precise length of that life is not known, that intangible asset must be amortized over the best estimate of its useful life. At a minimum, the Partnership will assess the useful lives of all intangible assets on an annual basis, on December 31, to determine if adjustments are required. The estimated useful life for the Partnership’s customer contract intangible assets is based upon the approximate average length of customer contracts in existence and expected renewals at the date of acquisition. The estimated useful life for the Partnership’s customer relationship intangible assets is based upon the estimated average length of non-contracted customer relationships in existence at the date of acquisition, adjusted for management’s estimate of whether these individual relationships will continue in excess or less than the average length (see Note 7).

Derivative Instruments

The Partnership enters into certain financial contracts to manage its exposure to movement in commodity prices and interest rates. The Partnership manages and reports the derivative assets and liabilities on the basis of its net exposure to market risks and credit risks by counterparty, measured at fair value (see “–Fair Value of Financial Instruments”). Changes in a derivative instrument’s fair value are recognized currently in the consolidated statements of operations. The Partnership no longer applies hedge accounting for its derivatives. As such, changes in fair value of these derivatives are recognized immediately within derivative gain (loss), net in its consolidated statements of operations. Prior to discontinuance of hedge accounting, the change in the fair value of these commodity derivative instruments was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets. Amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss were reclassified to the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations at the time the originally hedged physical transactions affected earnings. The Partnership has reclassified all earnings out of accumulated other comprehensive loss, within equity on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets and had no amounts in accumulated other comprehensive loss as of December 31, 2013 and 2012.

 

F-14


Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The Partnership uses a valuation framework based upon inputs that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, which are classified into two categories: observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources; whereas, unobservable inputs reflect the Partnership’s own market assumptions, which are used if observable inputs are not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. These two types of inputs are further prioritized into the following hierarchy:

Level 1– Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity but rather through particular valuation techniques.

The Partnership uses a market approach fair value methodology to value the assets and liabilities for its outstanding derivative contracts (see Note 11). The Partnership manages and reports the derivative assets and liabilities on the basis of its net exposure to market risks and credit risks by counterparty. The Partnership has a financial risk management committee (the “Financial Risk Management Committee”), which sets the policies, procedures and valuation methods utilized by the Partnership to value its derivative contracts. The Financial Risk Management Committee members include, among others, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and the Vice Chairman of the managing board of the General Partner. The Financial Risk Management Committee receives daily reports and meets on a weekly basis to review the risk management portfolio and changes in the fair value in order to determine appropriate actions.

Income Taxes

The Partnership is generally not subject to U.S. federal and most state income taxes. The partners of the Partnership are liable for income tax in regard to their distributive share of the Partnership’s taxable income. Such taxable income may vary substantially from net income (loss) reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

The Partnership evaluates tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Partnership’s tax returns and disallows the recognition of tax positions not deemed to meet a “more-likely-than-not” threshold of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. The Partnership’s management does not believe it has any tax positions taken within its consolidated financial statements that would not meet this threshold. The Partnership’s policy is to reflect interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, when and if they become applicable. The Partnership has not recognized any potential interest or penalties in its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2013 or 2012.

The Partnership files Partnership Returns of Income in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions. With few exceptions, the Partnership is no longer subject to income tax examinations by major tax authorities for years prior to 2010. The Partnership is not currently being examined by any jurisdiction and is not aware of any potential examinations as of December 31, 2013 except for: 1) an ongoing examination by the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts related to the Partnership’s Texas Franchise Tax for franchise report years 2008 through 2011 and 2) an examination by the Internal Revenue Service related to the Partnership’s corporate subsidiary APL Arkoma, Inc.’s Federal Corporate Return for the period ended December 31, 2012.

 

F-15


APL Arkoma, Inc. is subject to federal and state income tax. The Partnership’s corporate subsidiary accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and net operating loss and credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of any tax rate change on deferred taxes is recognized in the period that includes the enactment date of the tax rate change. Realization of deferred tax assets is assessed and, if not more likely than not, a valuation allowance is recorded to write down the deferred tax assets to their net realizable value. The effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate due primarily to Partnership earnings that are generally not subject to federal and state income taxes at the Partnership level. See Note 9 for discussion of the Partnership’s federal and state income tax expense (benefits) of its taxable subsidiary as well as the Partnership’s net deferred income tax assets (liabilities).

Share-Based Compensation

All share-based payments to employees, including grants of employee stock options, are recognized in the financial statements based on their fair values. Share-based awards, which have a cash option, are classified as liabilities on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets. All other share-based awards are classified as equity on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets. Compensation expense associated with share-based payments is recognized within general and administrative expenses on the Partnership’s statements of operations from the date of the grant through the date of vesting, amortized on a straight-line method. Generally, no expense is recorded for awards that do not vest due to forfeiture.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Unit

Basic net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners by the weighted average number of common limited partner units outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners is determined by deducting net income attributable to participating securities, if applicable, and net income (loss) attributable to the General Partner’s and the preferred unitholders’ interests. The General Partner’s interest in net income (loss) is calculated on a quarterly basis based upon its 2.0% general partner interest and incentive distributions to be distributed for the quarter (see Note 5), with a priority allocation of net income to the General Partner’s incentive distributions, if any, in accordance with the partnership agreement, and the remaining net income (loss) allocated with respect to the General Partner’s and limited partners’ ownership interests.

The Partnership presents net income (loss) per unit under the two-class method for master limited partnerships, which considers whether the incentive distributions of a master limited partnership represent a participating security when considered in the calculation of earnings per unit under the two-class method. The two-class method considers whether the partnership agreement contains any contractual limitations concerning distributions to the incentive distribution rights that would impact the amount of earnings to allocate to the incentive distribution rights for each reporting period. If distributions are contractually limited to the incentive distribution rights’ share of currently designated available cash for distributions as defined under the partnership agreement, undistributed earnings in excess of available cash should not be allocated to the incentive distribution rights. Under the two-class method, management of the Partnership believes the partnership agreement contractually limits cash distributions to available cash; therefore, undistributed earnings are not allocated to the incentive distribution rights.

 

F-16


Class D Preferred Units participate in distributions with the common limited partner units according to a predetermined formula (see Note 5), thus they are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per unit pursuant to the two-class method. The participation rights result in a non-contingent transfer of value each time the Partnership declares a distribution. However, the contractual terms of the Class D Preferred Units do not require the holders to share in the losses of the entity, therefore the net income (loss) utilized in the calculation of net income (loss) per unit must be determined based upon the allocation of only net income to the Class D Preferred Units on a pro-rata basis.

Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per unit pursuant to the two-class method. The Partnership’s phantom unit awards, which consist of common units issuable under the terms of its long-term incentive plans and incentive compensation agreements (see Note 16), contain non-forfeitable rights to distribution equivalents of the Partnership. The participation rights result in a non-contingent transfer of value each time the Partnership declares a distribution or distribution equivalent right during the award’s vesting period. However, unless the contractual terms of the participating securities require the holders to share in the losses of the entity, net loss is not allocated to the participating securities. Therefore, the net income (loss) utilized in the calculation of net income (loss) per unit must be determined based upon the allocation of only net income to the phantom units on a pro-rata basis.

The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) from continuing operations and net income from discontinued operations allocated to the General Partner and common limited partners for purposes of calculating net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit (in thousands):

  (1) Net income attributable to common limited partners’ ownership interest is allocated to the phantom units on a pro-rata basis (weighted average phantom units outstanding as a percentage of the sum of the weighted average phantom units and common limited partner units outstanding). Net loss attributable to common limited partners’ ownership interest is not allocated to approximately 1,240,000 weighted average phantom units for the year ended December 31, 2013 because the contractual terms of the phantom units as participating securities do not require the holders to share in the losses of the entity.
  (2) Net income attributable to common limited partners’ ownership interest is allocated to the Class D Preferred Units on a pro-rata basis (weighted average Class D Preferred Units outstanding as a percentage of the sum of the weighted average Class D Preferred Units and common limited partner units outstanding). For the year ended December 31, 2013, net loss attributable to common limited partners’ ownership interest is not allocated to approximately 9,110,000 weighted average Class D Preferred Units because the contractual terms of the Class D Preferred Units as participating securities do not require the holders to share in the losses of the entity.

Diluted net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners, plus income allocable to participating securities, by the sum of the weighted average number of common limited partner units outstanding plus the dilutive effect of outstanding participating securities.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Partnership’s weighted average number of common limited partner units used to compute basic net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit with those used to compute diluted net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit (in thousands):

  (1) For the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 1,240,000 weighted average phantom units were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings attributable to common limited partners per unit, because the inclusion of such phantom units would have been anti-dilutive.
  (2) For the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately 9,110,000 weighted average Class D Preferred Units were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners as the impact of the conversion would have been anti-dilutive.

Environmental Matters

The Partnership is subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. The Partnership has established procedures for the ongoing evaluation of its operations, to identify potential environmental exposures and to comply with regulatory policies and procedures, including legislation related to greenhouse gas emissions. Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations, and do not contribute to current or future revenue generation, are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or clean-ups are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. At this time, the Partnership is unable to assess the timing and/or effect of potential liabilities related to greenhouse gas emissions or other environmental issues. The Partnership maintains insurance, which may cover, in whole or in part, certain environmental expenditures. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership had no material environmental matters requiring specific disclosure or requiring the recognition of a liability.

Segment Information

The Partnership has two reportable segments: Gathering and Processing; and Transportation, Treating and Other (“Transportation and Treating”). These reportable segments reflect the way the Partnership manages its operations.

The Gathering and Processing segment consists of (1) the SouthOK, SouthTX, WestOK and WestTX operations, which are comprised of natural gas gathering and processing assets servicing drilling activity in the Anadarko, Arkoma, Eagle Ford and Permian Basins; (2) the natural gas gathering assets located in the Barnett Shale play in Texas and the Appalachian Basin in Tennessee; and (3) through year ending December 31, 2011, the revenues and gain on sale related to the Partnership’s former 49% interest in Laurel Mountain (see Note 4). Gathering and Processing revenues are primarily derived from the sale of residue gas and NGLs and the gathering, processing and treating of natural gas.

The Transportation and Treating segment consists of the Gas Treating operations located in various shale plays including the Avalon, Eagle Ford, Granite Wash, Haynesville, Fayetteville and Woodford; and the Partnership’s 20% interest in the equity income generated by WTLPG, which owns a common-carrier pipeline system that transports NGLs from New Mexico and Texas to Mont Belvieu, Texas for fractionation. Contract gas treating revenues are primarily derived from monthly lease fees for use of treating facilities. Pipeline revenues are primarily derived from transportation fees.

 

F-19


Revenue Recognition

The Partnership’s revenue primarily consists of the sale of natural gas and NGLs along with the fees earned from its gathering, processing, treating and transportation operations. Under certain agreements, the Partnership purchases natural gas from producers and moves it into receipt points on its pipeline systems, and then sells the natural gas, or produced NGLs, if any, off delivery points on its systems. Under other agreements, the Partnership gathers natural gas across its systems, from receipt to delivery point, without taking title to the natural gas. Revenue associated with the physical sale of natural gas and NGLs is recognized upon physical delivery. In connection with the Partnership’s gathering, processing and transportation operations, it enters into the following types of contractual relationships with its producers and shippers:

Fee-Based Contracts. These contracts provide a set fee for gathering and/or processing raw natural gas and for transporting NGLs. Revenue is a function of the volume of natural gas that the Partnership gathers and processes or the volume of NGLs transported and is not directly dependent on the value of the natural gas or NGLs. However, sustained low commodity prices could result in a decline in drilling activities by producers with consequently a decline in volumes, and a corresponding decrease in fee revenue. The Partnership is also paid a separate compression fee on many of its gathering systems. The fee is dependent upon the volume of gas flowing through its compressors and the quantity of compression stages utilized to gather the gas.

POP Contracts. These contracts provide for the Partnership to retain a negotiated percentage of the sale proceeds from residue gas and NGLs it gathers and processes, with the remainder being remitted to the producer. In this contract-type, the Partnership and the producer are directly dependent on the volume of the commodity and its value; the Partnership effectively owns a percentage of the commodity and revenues are directly correlated to its market value. POP contracts may include a fee component, which is charged to the producer.

Fixed Recoveries. Fee-based or POP contracts sometimes include fixed recovery terms, which mean the prices paid or products returned to the producer are calculated using an agreed NGL recovery factor, regardless of the volumes of NGLs actually recovered through processing.

Keep-Whole Contracts. These contracts require the Partnership, as the processor and gatherer, to gather or purchase raw natural gas at current market rates per MMBTU. The volume and energy content of gas gathered or purchased is based on the measurement at an agreed upon location (generally at the wellhead). The BTU quantity of gas redelivered or sold at the tailgate of the Partnership’s processing facility may be lower than the BTU quantity purchased at the wellhead primarily due to the NGLs extracted from the natural gas when processed through a plant. The Partnership must make up or “keep the producer whole” for this loss in BTU quantity. To offset the make-up obligation, the Partnership retains the NGLs, which are extracted, and sells them for its own account. Therefore, the Partnership bears the economic risk (the “processing margin risk”) that (1) the BTU quantity of residue gas available for redelivery to the producer may be less than received from the producer; and/or (2) the aggregate proceeds from the sale of the processed natural gas and NGLs could be less than the amount the Partnership paid for the unprocessed natural gas. In order to help mitigate the risk associated with Keep-Whole contracts the Partnership generally imposes a fee to gather the gas that is settled under this arrangement. Also, because the natural gas volumes contracted under some Keep-Whole agreements are lower in BTU content and thus can meet downstream pipeline specifications without being processed, the natural gas can be bypassed around the processing plants on these systems and delivered directly into downstream pipelines during periods when the processing margin risk is uneconomic.

 

F-20


The Partnership accrues unbilled revenue and the related purchase costs due to timing differences between the delivery of natural gas, NGLs, and condensate and the receipt of a delivery statement. This revenue is recorded based upon volumetric data from the Partnership’s records and management estimates of the related gathering and compression fees, which are, in turn, based upon applicable product prices. The Partnership had unbilled revenues at December 31, 2013 and 2012 of $134.9 million and $100.8 million, respectively, which are included in accounts receivable within its consolidated balance sheets.

Accrued Producer Liabilities

Accrued producer liabilities on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets represent accrued purchase commitments payable to producers related to gas gathered and processed through its system under its POP and Keep-Whole contracts (see “–Revenue Recognition”).

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In February 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-02, “Other Comprehensive Income (Topic 220) – Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income,” which, among other changes, requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component and the respective line items of net income to which the amounts were reclassified. The update does not change the components of comprehensive income that must be presented. These requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The Partnership began including the additional required disclosures upon the adoption of this ASU on January 1, 2013 (see “–Comprehensive Income (Loss)”). The adoption had no material impact on the Partnership’s financial position or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) –Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” which, among other changes, requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a liability and not net with deferred tax assets when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or when the tax law of the applicable tax jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to, use the deferred tax asset for such purpose. These requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. These amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The Partnership applied these requirements upon the adoption of the ASU on January 1, 2014. The adoption had no material impact on the Partnership’s financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

Cardinal Midstream, LLC

On December 20, 2012, the Partnership completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests held by Cardinal Midstream, LLC (“Cardinal”) in three wholly-owned subsidiaries for $598.9 million in cash, including final purchase price adjustments, less cash received (the “Cardinal Acquisition”). The assets of these companies, which are referred to as the Arkoma assets, include gas gathering, processing and treating facilities in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. The acquisition includes a 60% interest in Centrahoma Processing, LLC (“Centrahoma”). The remaining 40% ownership interest in Centrahoma is held by MarkWest Oklahoma Gas Company LLC (“MarkWest”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of MarkWest Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: MWE). As part of the Cardinal Acquisition, the Partnership placed $25.0 million into escrow to cover potential indemnity claims. The $25.0 million was released to the sellers in June 2013.

The Partnership funded the purchase price for the Cardinal Acquisition in part from the private placement of $175.0 million of its 6.625% senior unsecured notes due October 1, 2020 (“6.625% Senior Notes”) at a premium of 3.0%, for net proceeds of $176.1 million (see Note 13); and from the sale of 10,507,033 common limited partner units in a public offering at a negotiated purchase price of $31.00 per unit, generating net proceeds of approximately $319.3 million, including the General Partner’s contribution of $6.7 million to maintain its 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership (see Note 5). The Partnership funded the remaining purchase price from its senior secured revolving credit facility (see Note 13).

The Partnership accounted for this transaction as a business combination. Accordingly, the Partnership evaluated the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition date fair values. The following table presents the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Cardinal Acquisition, based on their final estimated fair values as of the date of acquisition, including the 40% non-controlling interest of Centrahoma held by MarkWest (in thousands):

The fair value of MarkWest’s 40% non-controlling interest in Centrahoma was based upon the purchase price allocated to the 60% controlling interest the Partnership acquired using an income approach. This measurement uses significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represents a fair value measurement categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The 40% non-controlling interest in Centrahoma was reduced by a 5.0% adjustment for lack of control that market participants would consider when measuring its fair value.

Subsequent to recording the final estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Cardinal Acquisition, the Partnership determined that a portion of goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition was impaired (see Note 7).

TEAK Midstream, LLC

On May 7, 2013, the Partnership completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of TEAK Midstream, LLC (“TEAK”) for $974.7 million in cash, including final purchase price adjustments, less cash received (the “TEAK Acquisition”), including $50.0 million placed into escrow to cover potential indemnity claims. The $50.0 million in escrow was released during the three months ended December 31, 2013. The assets of these companies, which are referred to as the SouthTX assets, include the following gas gathering and processing facilities in Texas:

 

    the Silver Oak I plant, which is a 200 MMCFD cryogenic processing facility;

 

    a second 200 MMCFD cryogenic processing facility, the Silver Oak II plant, expected to be in service the second quarter of 2014;

 

    265 miles of primarily 20-24 inch gathering and residue lines;

 

    approximately 275 miles of low pressure gathering lines;

 

    a 75% interest in T2 LaSalle, which owns a 62 mile, 24-inch gathering line;

 

    a 50% interest in T2 Eagle Ford, which owns a 45 mile 16-inch gathering pipeline; a 71 mile 24-inch gathering line; and a 50 mile residue pipeline; and

 

    a 50% interest in T2 Co-Gen, which owns a cogeneration facility.

As a result of the TEAK Acquisition, the Partnership has added additional gathering and processing capacity as well as fee-based cash flows from natural gas gathering and processing operations.

The Partnership funded the purchase price for the TEAK Acquisition in part from the private placement of $400.0 million of Class D Preferred Units for net proceeds of $397.7 million, plus the General Partner’s contribution of $8.2 million to maintain its 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership (see Note 5); and in part from the sale of 11,845,000 common limited partner units in a public offering for net proceeds of approximately $388.4 million, plus the General Partner’s contribution of $8.3 million to maintain its 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership (see Note 5). The Partnership funded the remaining purchase price from its senior secured revolving credit facility, and issued $400.0 million of 4.75% unsecured senior notes due November 15, 2021 (“4.75% Senior Notes”) on May 10, 2013 for net proceeds of $391.2 million to reduce the level of borrowings under the revolving credit facility as part of the TEAK Acquisition (see Note 13).

The Partnership accounted for this transaction as a business combination. Accordingly, the Partnership evaluated the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their respective acquisition date fair values. Due to the recent date of acquisition, the accounting for the business combination is based on preliminary data that remains subject to adjustment and could change as the Partnership continues to evaluate the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and the changes could be material.

In conjunction with the issuance of the Partnership’s common limited partner units associated with the acquisition, $14.3 million of transaction fees were included in the $388.4 million net proceeds recorded within common limited partners’ interests on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets. In conjunction with the issuance of the Partnership’s Class D Preferred Units associated with the acquisition, $2.3 million of transaction fees were included in the $397.7 million proceeds recorded within preferred limited partner interests on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets. In conjunction with the issuance of the 4.75% Senior Notes and an amendment of the revolving credit facility, $9.7 million of transaction fees were recorded as deferred finance costs within other assets, net on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets. Other acquisition costs of $19.3 million associated with the TEAK Acquisition were expensed as incurred and recorded to other costs on the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations.

Revenues and net losses of $97.4 million and $14.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, respectively, from the acquisition date of May 7, 2013 have been included in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements related to the TEAK Acquisition, which were included in the Partnership’s Gathering and Processing reportable segment. Net earnings of $1.1 million contributed from the TEAK Acquisition from April 1, 2013 (the effective date) to May 7, 2013 (the closing date) were included as a reduction to the purchase price.

NOTE 4 – EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS

Laurel Mountain

On February 17, 2011, the Partnership completed the sale of its 49% non-controlling interest in Laurel Mountain to Atlas Energy Resources, LLC (“Atlas Energy Resources”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atlas Energy, Inc (“AEI”) (the “Laurel Mountain Sale”) for $409.5 million in cash, net of expenses and adjustments based on capital contributions made to and distributions received from Laurel Mountain after January 1, 2011. Concurrently, AEI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chevron Corporation (the “Chevron Merger”) and divested its interests in ATLS, resulting in the Laurel Mountain Sale being classified as a third party sale. The Partnership recognized on its consolidated statements of operations a net gain on the sale of assets of $256.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2011. Laurel Mountain is a joint venture, which owns and operates the Appalachia natural gas gathering system previously owned by the Partnership. Subsidiaries of The Williams Companies, Inc. (NYSE: WMB) (“Williams”) hold the remaining 51% ownership interest. The Partnership utilized the proceeds from the sale to repay its indebtedness and for general company purposes.

The Partnership accounted for its ownership interest in Laurel Mountain under the equity method of accounting, with recognition of its ownership interest in the income of Laurel Mountain as equity income on its consolidated statements of operations. Since the Partnership accounted for its ownership as an equity investment, the Partnership did not reclassify the earnings or the gain on sale related to Laurel Mountain to discontinued operations upon the sale of its ownership interest.

The Partnership retained its preferred distribution rights with respect to an $8.5 million balance due on a note receivable from Williams. In December 2011, Williams made cash payment to the Partnership to settle the balance on the note receivable, plus accrued interest of $0.2 million.

West Texas LPG Pipeline Limited Partnership

On May 11, 2011, the Partnership acquired a 20% interest in WTLPG from Buckeye Partners, L.P. (NYSE: BPL) for $85.0 million. WTLPG owns a common-carrier pipeline system that transports NGLs from New Mexico and Texas to Mont Belvieu, Texas for fractionation. WTLPG is operated by

 

F-25


Chevron Pipeline Company, an affiliate of Chevron, which owns the remaining 80% interest. At the acquisition date, the carrying value of the 20% interest in WTLPG exceeded the Partnership’s share of the underlying net assets of WTLPG by approximately $49.9 million. The Partnership’s analysis of this difference determined that it related to the fair value of property plant and equipment, which was in excess of book value. This excess will be depreciated over approximately 38 years. The Partnership recognizes its 20% interest in WTLPG as an investment in joint ventures on its consolidated balance sheets. The Partnership accounts for its ownership interest in WTLPG under the equity method of accounting, with recognition of its ownership interest in the income of WTLPG as equity income in joint ventures on its consolidated statements of operations. The Partnership incurred costs of $0.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2011, related to the acquisition of WTLPG, which are reported as other costs within the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations.

T2 Joint Ventures

On May 7, 2013, the Partnership acquired a 75% interest in T2 LaSalle, a 50% interest in T2 Eagle Ford and a 50% interest in T2 EF Co-Gen as part of the TEAK Acquisition (see Note 3). The T2 Joint Ventures were formed to provide services for the benefit of the joint interest owners. The T2 Joint Ventures have capacity lease agreements with the joint interest owners, which cover the costs of operations of the T2 Joint Ventures. The Partnership accounts for its investments in the joint ventures under the equity method of accounting.

The Partnership evaluated whether the T2 Joint Ventures should be subject to consolidation. The T2 Joint Ventures do meet the qualifications of a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), but the Partnership does not meet the qualifications as the primary beneficiary. Even though the Partnership owns a 50% or greater interest in the T2 Joint Ventures, the Partnership does not have controlling financial interests in these entities. The Partnership shares equal management rights with TexStar Midstream Services, L.P. (“TexStar”), the investor owning the remaining interests; and TexStar is the operator of the T2 Joint Ventures. The Partnership determined that it should account for the T2 Joint Ventures under the equity method, since the Partnership does not have a controlling financial interest, but does have a significant influence. The Partnership’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the VIEs includes its equity investment; any additional capital contribution commitments and the Partnership’s share of any approved operating expenses incurred by the VIEs.

NOTE 5 – EQUITY

Common Units

In November 2012, the Partnership entered into an equity distribution program with Citigroup Global Markets, Inc. (“Citigroup”). Pursuant to this program, the Partnership offered and sold through Citigroup, as its sales agent, common units for $150.0 million. Sales were at market prices prevailing at the time of the sale. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Partnership issued 3,895,679 and 275,429 common units, respectively, under the equity distribution program for net proceeds of $137.8 million and $8.7 million, respectively, net of $2.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in commissions incurred from Citigroup, and other expenses. The Partnership also received capital contributions from the General Partner of $2.9 million and $0.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to maintain its 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership. The net proceeds from the common unit offering were utilized for general partnership purposes. As of December 31, 2013, the Partnership had used the full capacity under the equity distribution program.

In December 2012, the Partnership sold 10,507,033 common units in a public offering at a price of $31.00 per unit, yielding net proceeds of approximately $319.3 million, including $6.7 million contributed by the General Partner to maintain its 2.0% general partner interest. The Partnership utilized the net proceeds from the common unit offering to partially finance the Cardinal Acquisition (see Note 3).

In April 2013, the Partnership sold 11,845,000 common units in a public offering at a price of $34.00 per unit, yielding net proceeds of $388.4 million after underwriting commissions and expenses. The Partnership also received a capital contribution from the General Partner of $8.3 million to maintain its 2.0% general partnership interest. The Partnership used the proceeds from this offering to fund a portion of the purchase price of the TEAK Acquisition (see Note 3).

Cash Distributions

The Partnership is required to distribute, within 45 days after the end of each quarter, all its available cash (as defined in its partnership agreement) for that quarter to its common unitholders (subject to the rights of any other class or series of the Partnership’s securities with the right to share in the Partnership’s cash distributions) and to the General Partner. If common unit distributions in any quarter exceed specified target levels, the General Partner will receive between 15% and 50% of such distributions in excess of the specified target levels, including the General Partner’s 2.0% interest. The General Partner, which holds all the incentive distribution rights in the Partnership, has agreed to allocate up to $3.75 million of its incentive distribution rights per quarter back to the Partnership after the General Partner receives the initial $7.0 million per quarter of incentive distribution rights.

On January 28, 2014, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.62 per unit on its outstanding common limited partner units, representing the cash distribution for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. The $56.1 million distribution, including $6.1 million to the General Partner for its general partner interest and incentive distribution rights, was paid on February 14, 2014 to unitholders of record at the close of business on February 7, 2014.

Class C Preferred Units

On February 17, 2011, as part of the Chevron Merger (see Note 4), Chevron acquired 8,000 cumulative Class C Preferred Units of limited partner interest (the “Class C Preferred Units”), which were previously owned by AEI. On May 27, 2011, the Partnership redeemed the Class C Preferred Units for cash at the liquidation value of $1,000 per unit, or $8.0 million, plus $0.2 million of accrued dividends. The Partnership recognized $0.4 million of preferred dividends for the year ended December 31, 2011 which are presented as reductions of net income to determine the net income attributable to common limited partners and the General Partner on its consolidated statements of operations.

Class D Preferred Units

In November 2012, the Partnership entered into a unit purchase agreement for a private placement of $200.0 million of newly-created Class D convertible preferred units (“Class D Preferred Units”) to third party investors. The unit purchase agreement was intended to provide financing for a

 

F-28


portion of the Cardinal Acquisition. The unit purchase agreement was terminated when the Partnership raised more than $150.0 million in common unit equity. The Partnership paid each investor a commitment fee equal to 2.0% of its commitment at the time of termination for a total expense of $4.0 million, which was recorded as other costs on the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations.

On May 7, 2013, the Partnership completed a private placement of $400.0 million of its Class D Preferred Units to third party investors, at a negotiated price per unit of $29.75, resulting in net proceeds of $397.7 million pursuant to the Class D preferred unit purchase agreement dated April 16, 2013 (the “Commitment Date”). The General Partner contributed $8.2 million to maintain its 2.0% general partnership interest upon the issuance of the Class D Preferred Units. The Partnership used the proceeds to fund a portion of the purchase price of the TEAK Acquisition (see Note 3). The Class D Preferred Units were offered and sold in a private transaction exempt from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Partnership has the right to convert the Class D Preferred Units, in whole but not in part, beginning one year following their issuance, into an equal number of common units, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Unless previously converted, all Class D Preferred Units will convert into common units on May 7, 2015. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Partnership or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, the holders of the Class D Preferred Units are entitled to receive, out of the assets of the Partnership available for distribution to unit holders, prior and in preference to any distribution of any assets of the Partnership to the holders of any other existing or subsequently issued units, an amount equal to $29.75 per Class D Preferred Unit plus any unpaid preferred distributions.

Upon the issuance of the Class D Preferred Units, the Partnership entered into a registration rights agreement pursuant to which it agreed to file a registration statement with the SEC to register the resale of the common units issuable upon conversion of the Class D Preferred Units. The Partnership agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective within 180 days of the date of conversion.

The fair value of the Partnership’s common units on April 16, 2013 was $36.52 per unit, resulting in an embedded beneficial conversion discount (“discount”) on the Class D Preferred Units of $91.0 million. The Partnership recognized the fair value of the Class D Preferred Units with the offsetting intrinsic value of the discount within Class D preferred limited partner interests on its consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013. The discount will be accreted and recognized as imputed dividends over the term of the Class D Preferred Units as a reduction to net income attributable to the common limited partners and the General Partner on the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Partnership recorded $29.5 million within preferred unit imputed dividend effect on the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations to recognize the accretion of the beneficial conversion discount. The Class D Preferred Units are presented combined with a net $61.5 million unaccreted beneficial conversion discount on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013.

The Class D Preferred Units will receive distributions of additional Class D Preferred Units for the first four full quarterly periods following their issuance, and thereafter will receive distributions in Class D Preferred Units, or cash, or a combination of Class D Preferred Units and cash, at the discretion of the Partnership’s General Partner. Cash distributions will be paid to the Class D Preferred Unit holders prior to any other distributions of available cash. Distributions will be determined based upon the cash distribution declared each quarter on the Partnership’s common limited partner units plus a preferred yield premium. Class D Preferred Unit distributions, whether in kind units or in cash, will be accounted for as a reduction to net income attributable to the common limited partners and the General Partner. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Partnership recorded costs related to preferred unit distributions in kind of $23.6 million on the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Partnership distributed 378,486 Class D Preferred Units to the holders of the Class D Preferred Units. The Partnership considers preferred unit distributions paid in kind to be a non-cash financing activity.

On January 28, 2014, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.62 per unit on its outstanding common limited partner units, representing the cash distribution for the quarter ended December 31, 2013. Based on this declaration, the Partnership issued 274,785 Class D Preferred Units to the holders of the Class D Preferred Units as a preferred unit distribution in kind for the quarter ended December 31, 2013 on February 14, 2014, to the preferred unitholders of record at the close of business on February 7, 2014.

The Partnership recorded depreciation expense on property, plant and equipment, including capital lease arrangements (see Note 13), of $99.7 million, $66.2 million and $54.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, on its consolidated statements of operations.

The Partnership capitalizes interest on borrowed funds related to capital projects only for periods that activities are in progress to bring these projects to their intended use. The weighted average interest rate used to capitalize interest on borrowed funds was 5.8%, 6.4% and 7.0% for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The amount of interest capitalized was $7.5 million, $8.7 million and $5.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Partnership owns and leases certain gas treating assets that are used to remove impurities from natural gas before it is delivered into gathering systems and transmission pipelines to ensure it meets pipeline quality specifications. These assets are included within pipelines, processing and compression facilities within property, plant and equipment on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheet. Revenues from these lease arrangements are recorded within transportation, processing and other fee revenues on the Partnership’s consolidated statement of operations. Future minimum rental income related to these lease arrangements is estimated to be as follows for each of the next five calendar years: 2014 - $4.0 million; 2015 - $3.0 million; 2016 - $1.0 million; 2017 - 2018 - none.

NOTE 7 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

The Partnership recorded goodwill on its consolidated balance sheets of $368.6 million and $319.3 million at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The change in goodwill is primarily related to an addition of $188.9 million of goodwill from the TEAK Acquisition partially offset by a $96.7 million reduction in goodwill related to an adjustment of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the Cardinal Acquisition and a $43.9 million reduction in goodwill related to an impairment of goodwill recorded for Gas Treating reporting unit acquired as part of the Cardinal Acquisition. The goodwill related to the Cardinal Acquisition is a result of the strategic industry position and potential future synergies. The goodwill related to the TEAK Acquisition is a result of the strategic industry position (see Note 3). The Partnership expects all goodwill recorded to be deductible for tax purposes.

Subsequent to recording the final estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the Cardinal Acquisition, the Partnership determined that a portion of goodwill recorded in connection with the acquisition was impaired. The Partnership performed a qualitative assessment for goodwill impairment on the Gas Treating reporting unit. The assessment indicated the potential for goodwill recorded on Gas Treating to be impaired due to lower forecasted cash flows as compared to original forecasts. Using a combination of discounted cash flow models and market multiples for similar businesses, the Partnership measured the amount of goodwill impairment on Gas Treating to be $43.9 million. The Partnership recorded a goodwill impairment loss of $43.9 million on its consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013.

The Partnership has recorded intangible assets with finite lives in connection with certain consummated acquisitions including the Cardinal and TEAK Acquisitions. As part of the TEAK Acquisition, the Partnership recognized $450.0 million of customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 13 years. As part of the Cardinal Acquisition, the Partnership recognized $232.3 million of customer relationships with estimated useful lives of 8 to 15 years, and $0.4 million of customer contracts with an estimated useful life of 2 years. The following table reflects the components of intangible assets being amortized at December 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

The weighted-average amortization period for customer contracts and customer relationships is 9.4 years and 12.1 years, respectively. The Partnership recorded amortization expense on intangible assets of $68.9 million, $23.8 million and $23.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, on its consolidated statements of operations. Amortization expense related to intangible assets is estimated to be as follows for each of the next five calendar years: 2014—$78.0 million; 2015 through 2016—$72.8 million per year; 2017—$66.7 million per year; 2018—$58.3 million.

The valuation assessment for the TEAK Acquisition has not been completed as of December 31, 2013 and the estimates of fair value of goodwill and intangible assets with finite lives reflected as of December 31, 2013 are subject to change and the change may be material (see Note 3).

Deferred finance costs are recorded at cost and amortized over the term of the respective debt agreement (see Note 13). The Partnership incurred $22.8 million, $14.4 million and $4.2 million of deferred finance costs during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to various financing activities (see Note 13). During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Partnership redeemed all of its outstanding $365.8 million 8.75% unsecured senior notes due June 15, 2018 (“8.75% Senior Notes”) (see Note 13) and recognized accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2011, the Partnership recorded $5.3 million and $5.2 million, respectively, related to accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs associated with the retirement of debt, which is included in loss on early extinguishment of debt on the Partnership’s consolidated statement of operations. There was no accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs during the

year ended December 31, 2012. Amortization expense of deferred finance costs, excluding accelerated amortization expense, was $7.0 million, $4.7 million and $4.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which is recorded within interest expense on the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations.

NOTE 9 – INCOME TAXES

As part of the Cardinal Acquisition (see Note 3), the Partnership acquired APL Arkoma, Inc., a taxable subsidiary. The components of the federal and state income tax benefit of the Partnership’s taxable subsidiary for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

As of December 31, 2013, the Partnership had net operating loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes of approximately $38.5 million, which expire at various dates from 2029 to 2033. Management of the General Partner believes it more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be fully utilized.

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Partnership uses derivative instruments in connection with its commodity price risk management activities. The Partnership uses financial swap and put option instruments to hedge its forecasted natural gas, NGLs and condensate sales against the variability in expected future cash flows attributable to changes in market prices. Swap instruments are contractual agreements between counterparties to exchange obligations of money as the underlying natural gas, NGLs and condensate are sold. Under its swap agreements, the Partnership receives a fixed price and remits a floating price based on certain indices for the relevant contract period. The swap agreement sets a fixed price for the product being hedged. Commodity-based put option instruments are contractual agreements that require the payment of a premium and grant the purchaser of the put option the right to receive the difference between a fixed, or strike, price and a floating price based on certain indices for the relevant contract period, if the floating price is lower than the fixed price. The put option instrument sets a floor price for commodity sales being hedged. A costless collar is a combination of a purchased put option and a sold call option, in which the premiums net to zero. A costless collar eliminates the initial cost of the purchased put, but places a ceiling price for commodity sales being hedged.

 

F-33


The Partnership no longer applies hedge accounting for derivatives. Changes in fair value of derivatives are recognized immediately within derivative gain (loss), net in its consolidated statements of operations. The change in fair value of commodity-based derivative instruments, which was previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss within equity on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets, was reclassified to the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations at the time the originally hedged physical transactions affected earnings. The Partnership has reclassified all earnings out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), within equity on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheet and there was no balance outstanding as of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.

The Partnership enters into derivative contracts with various financial institutions, utilizing master contracts based upon the standards set by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. These contracts allow for rights of setoff at the time of settlement of the derivatives. Due to the right of setoff, derivatives are recorded on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities at fair value on the basis of the net exposure to each counterparty. Potential credit risk adjustments are also analyzed based upon the net exposure to each counterparty. Premiums paid for purchased options are recorded on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets as the initial value of the options. Changes in the fair value of the options are recognized within derivative gain (loss), net as unrealized gain (loss) on the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations. Premiums are reclassified to realized gain (loss) within derivative gain (loss), net at the time the option expires or is exercised. The Partnership reflected net derivative liabilities on its consolidated balance sheet of $9.1 million at December 31, 2013, and net derivative assets of $31.0 million at December 31, 2012.

NOTE 11 — FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Partnership uses a valuation framework based upon inputs that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, which are classified into two categories: observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources; whereas, unobservable inputs reflect the Partnership’s own market assumptions, which are used if observable inputs are not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. These two types of inputs are further prioritized into Levels 1, 2 and 3 (see Note 2 “Fair Value of Financial Instruments”).

Derivative Instruments

At December 31, 2013, the valuations for all the Partnership’s derivative contracts are defined as Level 2 assets and liabilities within the same class of nature and risk, with the exception of the Partnership’s NGL fixed price swaps and NGL options, which are defined as Level 3 assets and liabilities within the same class of nature and risk.

The Partnership’s Level 2 commodity derivatives include natural gas and crude oil swaps and options, which are calculated based upon observable market data related to the change in price of the underlying commodity. These swaps and options are calculated by utilizing the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) quoted prices for futures and option contracts traded on NYMEX that coincide with the underlying commodity, expiration period, strike price (if applicable) and pricing formula utilized in the derivative instrument.

Valuations for the Partnership’s NGL options are based on forward price curves developed by financial institutions, and therefore are defined as Level 3. The NGL options are over-the-counter instruments that are not actively traded in an open market, thus the Partnership utilizes the valuations provided by the financial institutions that provide the NGL options for trade. The Partnership tests these valuations for reasonableness through the use of an internal valuation model.

 

F-36


Valuations for the Partnership’s NGL fixed price swaps are based on forward price curves provided by a third party, which the Partnership considers to be Level 3 inputs. The prices are adjusted based upon the relationship between the prices for the product/locations quoted by the third party and the underlying product/locations utilized for the swap contracts, as determined by a regression model of the historical settlement prices for the different product/locations. The regression model is recalculated on a quarterly basis. This adjustment is an unobservable Level 3 input. The NGL fixed price swaps are over-the-counter instruments which are not actively traded in an open market. However, the prices for the underlying products and locations do have a direct correlation to the prices for the products and locations provided by the third party, which are based upon trading activity for the products and locations quoted. A change in the relationship between these prices would have a direct impact upon the unobservable adjustment utilized to calculate the fair value of the NGL fixed price swaps.

NGL Linefill

The Partnership had $14.5 million and $7.8 million of NGL linefill at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which was included within prepaid expenses and other on its consolidated balance sheets. The NGL linefill represents amounts receivable for NGLs delivered to counterparties, for which the counterparty will pay at a designated later period at a price determined by the then market price. The Partnership’s NGL linefill held by one counterparty will be settled at various periods in the future and is defined as a Level 3 asset, which is valued using the same forward price curve utilized to value the Partnership’s NGL fixed price swaps. The product/location adjustment based upon the multiple regression analysis, which was included in the value of the linefill, was a reduction of $0.4 million and $0.4 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Partnership’s NGL linefill held by other counterparties is adjusted on a monthly basis according to the volumes delivered to the counterparties each period and is valued on a first in first out (“FIFO”) basis.

Contingent Consideration

In February 2012, the Partnership acquired a gas gathering system and related assets for an initial net purchase price of $19.0 million. The Partnership agreed to pay up to an additional $12.0 million, payable in two equal amounts, if certain volumes are achieved on the acquired gathering system within a specified time period (“Trigger Payments”). Sufficient volumes were achieved in December 2012 and the Partnership paid the first Trigger Payment of $6.0 million in January 2013. As of December 31, 2013, the fair value of the remaining Trigger Payment resulted in a $6.0 million long term liability, which was recorded within other long term liabilities on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets. The range of the undiscounted amount the Partnership could pay related to the remaining Trigger Payment is between $0.0 and $6.0 million.

Other Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of the Partnership’s other financial instruments has been determined based upon its assessment of available market information and valuation methodologies. However, these estimates may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts the Partnership could realize upon the sale or refinancing of such financial instruments.

The Partnership’s current assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets, other than the derivatives, NGL linefill and contingent consideration discussed above, are considered to be financial instruments for which the estimated fair values of these instruments approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature and thus are categorized as Level 1 values. The carrying value of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, which bear interest at a variable interest rate, approximates their estimated fair value and thus is categorized as a Level 1 value. The estimated fair value of the Partnership’s Senior Notes (see Note 13) is based upon the market approach and calculated using the yield of the Senior Notes as provided by financial institutions and thus is categorized as a Level 3 value. The estimated fair values of the Partnership’s total debt at December 31, 2013 and 2012, which consists principally of borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the Senior Notes, were $1,663.6 million and $1,216.4 million, respectively, compared with the carrying amounts of $1,707.3 million and $1,179.9 million, respectively.

Acquisitions

On December 20, 2012, the Partnership completed the Cardinal Acquisition (see Note 3). On May 7, 2013, the Partnership completed the TEAK Acquisition (see Note 3). The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation. The estimates of fair value of the TEAK assets as of the acquisition date, which are reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013, are subject to change as the final valuation has not yet been completed, and such changes may be material (see Note 3).

Revolving Credit Facility

At December 31, 2013, the Partnership had a $600.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks that matures in May 2017. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest, at the Partnership’s option, at either (1) the higher of (a) the prime rate, (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% and (c) three-month LIBOR plus 1.0%, or (2) the LIBOR rate for the applicable period (each plus the applicable margin). The weighted average interest rate for borrowings on the revolving credit facility, at December 31, 2013, was 4.0%. Up to $50.0 million of the revolving credit facility may be utilized for letters of credit, of which $0.1 million was outstanding at December 31, 2013. These outstanding letters of credit amounts were not reflected as borrowings on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2013, the Partnership had $447.9 million of remaining committed capacity under its revolving credit facility.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility are secured by (i) a lien on and security interest in all the Partnership’s property and that of its subsidiaries, except for the assets owned by Atlas Pipeline Mid-Continent WestOk, LLC (“WestOK LLC”) and Atlas Pipeline Mid-Continent WestTex, LLC (“WestTX LLC”), entities in which the Partnership has 95% interests, and Centrahoma, in which the Partnership has a 60% interest; and their respective subsidiaries; and (ii) by the guaranty of each of the Partnership’s consolidated subsidiaries other than the joint venture companies. The revolving credit facility contains customary covenants, including requirements that the Partnership maintain certain financial thresholds and restrictions on the Partnership’s ability to (1) incur additional indebtedness, (2) make certain acquisitions, loans or investments, (3) make distribution payments to its unitholders if an event of default exists, or (4) enter into a merger or sale of assets, including the sale or transfer of interests in its subsidiaries. The Partnership is unable to borrow under its revolving credit facility to pay distributions of available cash to unitholders because such borrowings would not constitute “working capital borrowings” pursuant to its partnership agreement.

The events that constitute an event of default for the revolving credit facility are also customary for loans of this size, including payment defaults, breaches of representations or covenants contained in the credit agreement, adverse judgments against the Partnership in excess of a specified amount, and a change of control of the Partnership’s General Partner.

 

F-42


On April 19, 2013, the Partnership entered into an amendment to the credit agreement which, among other changes:

 

    allowed the TEAK Acquisition to be a Permitted Investment, as defined in the credit agreement;

 

    did not require the joint venture interests acquired in the TEAK Acquisition to be guarantors;

 

    permitted the payment of cash distributions, if any, on the Class D Preferred Units so long as the Partnership has a pro forma Minimum Liquidity, as defined in the credit agreement, of greater than or equal to $50 million; and

 

    modified the definition of Consolidated Funded Debt Ratio, Interest Coverage Ratio and Consolidated EBITDA to allow for an Acquisition Period whereby the terms for calculating each of these ratios have been adjusted.

As of December 31, 2013, the Partnership was in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility.

Senior Notes

At December 31, 2013, the Partnership had $500.0 million principal outstanding of 6.625% Senior Notes, $650.0 million principal outstanding of 5.875% unsecured senior notes due August 1, 2023 (“5.875% Senior Notes”), and $400.0 million of 4.75% Senior Notes (with the 6.625% Senior Notes and 5.875% Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”).

The Senior Notes are subject to repurchase by the Partnership at a price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, upon a change of control or upon certain asset sales if the Partnership does not reinvest the net proceeds within 360 days. The Senior Notes are junior in right of payment to the Partnership’s secured debt, including the Partnership’s obligations under its revolving credit facility.

Indentures governing the Senior Notes contain covenants, including limitations of the Partnership’s ability to: incur certain liens; engage in sale/leaseback transactions; incur additional indebtedness; declare or pay distributions if an event of default has occurred; redeem, repurchase or retire equity interests or subordinated indebtedness; make certain investments; or merge, consolidate or sell substantially all its assets. The Partnership is in compliance with these covenants as of December 31, 2013.

6.625% Senior Notes

The 6.625% Senior Notes are presented combined with a net $4.6 million unamortized premium as of December 31, 2013. Interest on the 6.625% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1. The 6.625% Senior Notes are redeemable at any time after October 1, 2016, at certain redemption prices, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

On September 28, 2012, the Partnership issued $325.0 million of the 6.625% Senior Notes in a private placement transaction, at par. The Partnership received net proceeds of $318.9 million after underwriting commissions and other transaction costs and utilized the proceeds to reduce the outstanding balance on its revolving credit facility.

 

F-43


On December 20, 2012, the Partnership issued $175.0 million of the 6.625% Senior Notes in a private placement transaction. The 6.625% Senior Notes were issued at a premium of 103.0% of the principal amount for a yield of 6.0%. The Partnership received net proceeds of $176.1 million after underwriting commissions and other transaction costs and utilized the proceeds to partially finance the Cardinal Acquisition (see Note 3). Of the $176.1 million net proceeds, $176.5 million was received during the year ended December 31, 2012, while additional expenses of $0.4 million were incurred during the year ended December 31, 2013.

The Partnership commenced an exchange offering for the 6.625% Senior Notes on September 18, 2013 and the exchange offer was completed on October 16, 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement related to the 6.625% Senior Notes, because the exchange offer was not consummated within the aforementioned timeframe, the Partnership incurred a 0.25% interest penalty of $52 thousand for the period from September 23, 2013 through consummation of the exchange offer on October 16, 2013.

8.125% Senior Notes

On April 8, 2011, the Partnership redeemed all the 8.125% senior unsecured notes due on December 15, 2015 (“8.125% Senior Notes”). The redemption price was determined in accordance with the indenture for the 8.125% Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. The Partnership paid $293.7 million to redeem the $275.5 million principal plus $11.2 million premium and $7.0 million accrued interest. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership recorded a loss of $19.4 million within loss on early extinguishment of debt on the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations, related to the redemption of the 8.125% Senior Notes. The loss includes the $11.2 million premium paid; a $3.1 million write off of unamortized discount; and a $5.1 million write off of deferred financing costs.

8.75% Senior Notes

On April 7, 2011, the Partnership redeemed $7.2 million of the 8.75% unsecured senior notes due June 15, 2018 (“8.75% Senior Notes”), which were tendered upon its offer to purchase the 8.75% Senior Notes, at par. The Laurel Mountain Sale (see Note 4) constituted an “Asset Sale” pursuant to the terms of the indenture of the 8.75% Senior Notes. As a result of the Asset Sale, the Partnership offered to purchase any and all of the 8.75% Senior Notes. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership recorded a loss of $0.2 million within loss on early extinguishment of debt on the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations, related to the write off of deferred financing costs for the 8.75% Senior Notes.

On November 21, 2011, the Partnership issued $150.0 million of the 8.75% Senior Notes in a private placement transaction. The 8.75% Senior Notes were issued at a premium of 103.5% of the principal amount for a yield of 7.82%. The Partnership received net proceeds of $152.4 million after underwriting commissions and other transaction costs and utilized the proceeds to reduce the outstanding balance on its revolving credit facility.

On January 28, 2013, the Partnership commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of its outstanding $365.8 million 8.75% Senior Notes, excluding unamortized premium, and a solicitation of consents to eliminate most of the restrictive covenants and certain of the events of default contained in the indenture governing the 8.75% Senior Notes (“8.75% Senior Notes Indenture”). Approximately $268.4 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.75% Senior Notes were validly tendered as of the expiration date of the consent solicitation. In February 2013, the Partnership accepted for purchase all 8.75% Senior Notes validly tendered as of the expiration of the consent solicitation and paid $291.4 million to redeem the $268.4 million principal plus $11.2 million make-whole premium, $3.7 million accrued interest and $8.0 million consent payment. The Partnership entered into a supplemental indenture amending and supplementing the 8.75% Senior Notes Indenture.

 

F-44


On March 12, 2013, the Partnership paid $105.6 million to redeem the remaining $97.3 million outstanding 8.75% Senior Notes plus a $6.3 million make-whole premium and $2.0 million in accrued interest. The Partnership funded the redemption with a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 5.875% Senior Notes. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Partnership recorded a loss of $26.6 million within loss on early extinguishment of debt on the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations, related to the redemption of the 8.75% Senior Notes. The loss includes $17.5 million premiums paid; $8.0 million consent payment; $5.3 million write off of deferred financing costs, offset by $4.2 million recognition of unamortized premium.

5.875% Senior Notes

On February 11, 2013, the Partnership issued $650.0 million of the 5.875% Senior Notes in a private placement transaction. The 5.875% Senior Notes were issued at par. The Partnership received net proceeds of $637.3 million after underwriting commissions and other transactions costs and utilized the proceeds to redeem the 8.75% Senior Notes and repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the revolving credit agreement. Interest on the 5.875% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1. The 5.875% Senior Notes are redeemable any time after February 1, 2018, at certain redemption prices, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The Partnership commenced an exchange offer for the 5.875% Senior Notes on December 10, 2013 and the exchange offer was completed on January 9, 2014.

4.75% Senior Notes

On May 10, 2013, the Partnership issued $400.0 million of the 4.75% Senior Notes in a private placement transaction. The 4.75% Senior Notes were issued at par. The Partnership received net proceeds of $391.2 million after underwriting commissions and other transactions costs and utilized the proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the revolving credit agreement as part of the TEAK Acquisition (see Note 3). Interest on the 4.75% Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 15 and November 15. The 4.75% Senior Notes are due on November 15, 2021 and are redeemable any time after March 15, 2016, at certain redemption prices, together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption. The Partnership commenced an exchange offer for the 4.75% Senior Notes on December 10, 2013 and the exchange offer was completed on January 9, 2014.

Capital Leases

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Partnership accelerated payment on certain leases and purchased the leased property by paying approximately $7.5 million in accordance with the lease agreements. These leases were to mature in August 2013.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Partnership recorded $1.9 million related to new capital lease agreements within property, plant and equipment and recorded an offsetting liability within long-term debt on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets. This amount was based upon the minimum payments required under the leases and the Partnership’s incremental borrowing rate. As part of the Cardinal Acquisition (see Note 3), the Partnership acquired an additional $0.9 million of capital leases during the year ended December 31, 2012.

NOTE 14 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Partnership has noncancelable operating leases for equipment and office space that expire at various dates. Certain operating leases provide the Partnership with the option to renew for additional periods. Where operating leases contain escalation clauses, rent abatements, and/or concessions, the Partnership applies them in the determination of straight-line rent expense over the lease term. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or asset life, which may include renewal periods where the renewal is reasonably assured, and is included in the determination of straight-line rent expense. Total rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 was $11.3 million, $5.5 million and $5.5 million, respectively. The aggregate amount of remaining future minimum annual lease payments as of December 31, 2013 is as follows (in thousands):

The Partnership has certain long-term unconditional purchase obligations and commitments, consisting primarily of transportation contracts. These agreements provide for transportation services to be used in the ordinary course of the Partnership’s operations. Transportation fees paid related to these contracts, including minimum shipment payments, were $34.8 million, $10.5 million and $10.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The future fixed and determinable portion of the obligations as of December 31, 2013 was as follows: 2014—$9.5 million; 2015 to 2017—$3.5 million per year; and 2018—$2.7 million.

The Partnership had committed approximately $102.5 million for the purchase of property, plant and equipment at December 31, 2013.

The Partnership is a party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of its business. Management of the Partnership believes that the ultimate resolution of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 15 — CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK

The Partnership sells natural gas, NGLs and condensate under contract to various purchasers in the normal course of business, within the Gathering and Processing segment (see Note 18). For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Partnership had three customers that individually accounted for approximately 29%, 17% and 14%, respectively, of the Partnership’s consolidated total third party revenues, excluding the impact of all financial derivative activity. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Partnership had two customers that individually accounted for approximately 48% and 15%, respectively, of the Partnership’s consolidated total third party revenues, excluding the impact of all financial derivative activity. For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Partnership had two customers that individually accounted for approximately 60% and 16%, respectively, of the Partnership’s consolidated total third party revenues, excluding the impact of all financial derivative activity. Additionally, the Partnership had three customers that individually accounted for approximately 23%, 20%, and 10%, respectively, of the Partnership’s consolidated accounts receivable at December 31, 2013, and two customers that individually accounted for approximately 45% and 14%, respectively, of the Partnership’s consolidated accounts receivable at December 31, 2012.

The Partnership has certain producers that supply a majority of the natural gas to its gathering systems and processing facilities. A reduction in the volume of natural gas that any one of these producers supply to the Partnership could adversely affect its operating results unless comparable volume could be obtained from other producers in the surrounding region.

 

F-47


The Partnership places its temporary cash investments in high quality short-term money market instruments and deposits with high quality financial institutions. At December 31, 2013, the Partnership and its subsidiaries had $5.7 million in deposits at banks, of which $5.3 million was over the insurance limit of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. No losses have been experienced on such investments.

NOTE 16 — BENEFIT PLANS

Share-based payments to employees, which are not cash settled, including grants of unit options and phantom units, are recognized within equity in the financial statements based on their fair values on the date of the grant. Share-based payments to non-employees that have a cash settlement option are recognized within liabilities in the financial statements based upon their current fair market value.

A phantom unit entitles a grantee to receive a common limited partner unit upon vesting of the phantom unit. In tandem with phantom unit grants, participants may be granted a distribution equivalent right (“DER”), which is the right to receive cash per phantom unit in an amount equal to and at the same time as the cash distributions the Partnership makes on a common unit during the period the phantom unit is outstanding. The compensation committee appointed by the General Partner’s managing board (the “Compensation Committee”) determines the vesting period for phantom units.

A unit option entitles a grantee to purchase a common limited partner unit upon payment of the exercise price for the option after completion of vesting of the unit option. The exercise price of the unit option is equal to the fair market value of the common unit on the date of grant of the option. The Compensation Committee determines how the exercise price may be paid by the grantee as well as the vesting and exercise period for unit options. Unit option awards expire 10 years from the date of grant.

Long-Term Incentive Plans

The Partnership has a 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2004 LTIP”) and a 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2010 LTIP” and collectively with the 2004 LTIP, the “LTIPs”) in which officers, employees, non-employee managing board members of the General Partner, employees of the General Partner’s affiliates and consultants are eligible to participate. The LTIPs are administered by the Compensation Committee. Under the LTIPs, the Compensation Committee may make awards of either phantom units or unit options for an aggregate of 3,435,000 common units. At December 31, 2013, the Partnership had 1,446,553 phantom units outstanding under the Partnership’s LTIPs, with 840,870 phantom units and unit options available for grant. The Partnership generally issues new common units for phantom units and unit options that have vested and have been exercised.

Partnership Phantom Units

Through December 31, 2013, phantom units granted to employees under the LTIPs generally had vesting periods of four years. In conjunction with the approval of the 2010 LTIP, the holders of 300,000 equity indexed bonus units (“Bonus Units”), under the Partnership’s subsidiary’s plan discussed below, agreed to exchange their Bonus Units for an equivalent number of phantom units. These phantom units vested over a three year period. Phantom units awarded to non-employee managing board members will vest over a four year period. Awards to non-employee members of the board automatically vest upon a change of control, as defined in the LTIPs. At December 31, 2013, there were 464,452 units outstanding under the LTIPs that will vest within the following twelve months.

 

F-48


The Partnership is authorized to purchase common units from employees to cover employee-related taxes when certain phantom units have vested. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, the Partnership purchased and retired 24,052 common units and 28,878 common units, respectively, to cover employee-related taxes, for a cost of $0.7 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The purchased and retired units were recorded as a reduction of equity on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheet. There were no phantom units purchased and retired during the year ended December 31, 2013.

On February 17, 2011, the employment agreement with the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the General Partner was terminated in connection with the Chevron Merger (see Note 4) and 75,250 outstanding phantom units, which represents all outstanding phantom units held by the CEO, automatically vested and were issued.

All phantom units outstanding under the LTIPs at December 31, 2013 include DERs granted to the participants by the Compensation Committee. The amounts paid with respect to LTIP DERs were $3.1 million, $2.0 million and $0.8 million during the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively. These amounts were recorded as reductions of equity on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets.

Employee Incentive Compensation Plan and Agreement

Atlas Pipeline Mid-Continent LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership, has an incentive plan (the “APLMC Plan”), which allowed for equity-indexed cash incentive awards to employees of the Partnership (the “Participants”). The APLMC Plan was administered by a committee appointed by the CEO of the General Partner. Under the APLMC Plan, cash bonus units (“Bonus Unit”) were awarded to Participants at the discretion of the committee. A Bonus Unit entitled the employee to receive the cash equivalent of the then fair market value of a common limited partner unit, without payment of an exercise price, upon vesting of the Bonus Unit. Bonus Units vested ratably over a three year period from the date of grant and automatically vested upon a change of control, death, or termination without cause, each as defined in the governing document. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, 25,500 and 24,750 Bonus Units, respectively, vested and cash payments were made for $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively. All outstanding bonus units became fully vested at the end of December 31, 2012. The Partnership recognized income of $79 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2012 and expense of $862 thousand during the year ended December 31, 2011, which was recorded within general and administrative expense on its consolidated statements of operations. No expense was recognized during the year ended December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2013 and 2012, Atlas Pipeline Mid-Continent LLC had no outstanding Bonus Units under the APLMC Plan and does not anticipate any further grants thereunder.

NOTE 17 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Partnership does not directly employ any persons to manage or operate its business. These functions are provided by the General Partner and employees of ATLS. The General Partner does not receive a management fee in connection with its management of the Partnership apart from its interest as general partner and its right to receive incentive distributions. The Partnership reimburses the General Partner and its affiliates for compensation and benefits related to its employees who perform services for the Partnership based upon an estimate of the time spent by such persons on activities for the Partnership. Other indirect costs, such as rent for offices, are allocated to the Partnership by ATLS based on the number of its employees who devote their time to activities on the Partnership’s behalf.

The partnership agreement provides that the General Partner will determine the costs and expenses allocable to the Partnership in any reasonable manner determined by the General Partner at its sole discretion. The Partnership reimbursed the General Partner and its affiliates $5.0 million, $3.8 million and $1.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively, for compensation and benefits related to its employees. There were no reimbursements for direct expenses incurred by the General Partner and its affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011. The General Partner believes the method utilized in allocating costs to the Partnership is reasonable.

The Partnership compresses and gathers gas for Atlas Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ARP) (“ARP”) on its gathering systems located in Tennessee. ARP’s general partner is wholly-owned by ATLS, and two members of the General Partner’s managing board are members of ARP’s board of directors. The Partnership entered into an agreement to provide these services, which extends for the life of ARP’s leases, in February 2008. The Partnership charged ARP approximately $0.3 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million in compression and gathering fees for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The Partnership agreed to provide design, procurement and construction management services for ARP with respect to a pipeline located in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania (the “Lycoming Pipeline”). The Partnership has been reimbursed approximately $1.8 million by ARP for these services during the year ended December 31, 2013.

On February 17, 2011, the Partnership completed the Laurel Mountain Sale to Atlas Energy Resources for $409.5 million, including closing adjustments and net of expenses (See Note 4).

In connection with the TEAK Acquisition, the Partnership sold approximately 3.4 million of its Class D Preferred Units for approximately $100.0 million (See Note 5) to Omega Capital and its affiliates, which beneficially owned more than 5% of the Partnership’s outstanding limited partnership units as of December 31, 2013. The sale of the Class D Preferred Units was made to Omega Capital and its affiliates upon substantially the same terms as unrelated third parties that also purchased Class D Preferred Units in connection with the TEAK Acquisition and was approved in advance by the Partnership’s Conflicts Committee.

NOTE 18 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Partnership has two reportable segments: Gathering and Processing; and Transportation, Treating and Other (“Transportation and Treating”). These reportable segments reflect the way the Partnership manages its operations.

 

F-51


The Gathering and Processing segment consists of (1) the SouthOK, SouthTX, WestOK and WestTX operations, which are comprised of natural gas gathering and processing assets servicing drilling activity in the Anadarko, Arkoma and Permian Basins and the Eagle Ford Shale play in south Texas; and (2) the natural gas gathering assets located in the Barnett Shale play in Texas and the Appalachian Basin in Tennessee. Gathering and Processing revenues are primarily derived from the sale of residue gas and NGLs and the gathering, processing and treating of natural gas.

The Transportation and Treating segment consists of (1) the Gas Treating operations, which own contract gas treating facilities located in various shale plays including the Avalon, Eagle Ford, Granite Wash, Haynesville, Fayetteville and Woodford; (2) the Partnership’s 20% interest in the equity income generated by WTLPG, which owns a common-carrier pipeline system that transports NGLs from New Mexico and Texas to Mont Belvieu, Texas for fractionation; and (3) through the year ended December 31, 2011, the revenues and gain on sale related to the Partnership’s former 49% interest in Laurel Mountain (see Note 4). Gas Treating revenues are primarily derived from monthly lease fees for use of the treating facilities. Pipeline revenues are primarily derived from transportation fees.

In connection with the TEAK Acquisition (see Note 3), the Partnership reviewed the acquired assets to determine the proper alignment of these assets within the existing reportable segments. The gas gathering and processing facilities acquired, along with their related assets, are included in the Gathering and Processing segment since the operating activities of the acquired assets are similar to the operating activities of other assets within that segment.

The following summarizes the Partnership’s reportable segment data for the periods indicated (in thousands):

ATLAS PIPELINE PARTNERS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2014

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a publicly-traded (NYSE: APL) Delaware limited partnership engaged in the gathering, processing and treating of natural gas in the mid-continent and southwestern regions of the United States and natural gas gathering services in the Appalachian Basin in the northeastern region of the United States. The Partnership’s operations are conducted through subsidiary entities whose equity interests are owned by Atlas Pipeline Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a majority-owned subsidiary of the Partnership. At June 30, 2014, Atlas Pipeline Partners GP, LLC (the “General Partner”) owned a combined 2.0% general partner interest in the consolidated operations of the Partnership, through which it manages and effectively controls both the Partnership and the Operating Partnership. The General Partner is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Atlas Energy, L.P. (“ATLS”), a publicly-traded limited partnership (NYSE: ATLS). The remaining 98.0% ownership interest in the consolidated operations of the Partnership consists of limited partner interests. At June 30, 2014, the Partnership had 82,162,967 common units outstanding, including 1,641,026 common units held by the General Partner and 4,113,227 common units held by ATLS; 14,404,637 Class D convertible preferred units (“Class D Preferred Units”) outstanding (see Note 5); and 5,060,000 8.25% Class E cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred units (“Class E Preferred Units”) outstanding (see Note 5).

The accompanying consolidated financial statements, which are unaudited, except the balance sheet dated December 31, 2013, which is derived from audited financial statements, are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim reporting. The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto do not include all disclosures normally made in financial statements contained in Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods disclosed have been made. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto presented in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Certain amounts in the prior year’s consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. The results of operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the full year ending December 31, 2014.

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

In addition to matters discussed further within this note, a more thorough discussion of the Partnership’s significant accounting policies is included in its audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Principles of Consolidation and Non-Controlling Interest

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership, the Operating Partnership, a variable interest entity of which the Partnership is the primary beneficiary, and the Operating Partnership’s wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. The General Partner’s interest in the Operating Partnership is reported as part of its overall 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

 

F-68


Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) includes net income (loss) and all other changes in the equity of a business during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources that, under GAAP, have not been recognized in the calculation of net income (loss). These changes, other than net income (loss), are referred to as “other comprehensive income (loss).” The Partnership does not have any type of transaction, which would be included within other comprehensive income (loss), thus comprehensive income (loss) is equal to net income (loss).

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Unit

Basic net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners by the weighted average number of common limited partner units outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners is determined by deducting net income attributable to participating securities, if applicable, and net income (loss) attributable to the General Partner’s and the preferred unitholders’ interests. The General Partner’s interest in net income (loss) is calculated on a quarterly basis based upon its 2.0% general partner interest and incentive distributions to be distributed for the quarter (see Note 5), with a priority allocation of net income to the General Partner’s incentive distributions, if any, in accordance with the partnership agreement, and the remaining net income (loss) allocated with respect to the General Partner’s and limited partners’ ownership interests.

The Partnership presents net income (loss) per unit under the two-class method for master limited partnerships, which considers whether the incentive distributions of a master limited partnership represent a participating security when considered in the calculation of earnings per unit under the two-class method. The two-class method considers whether the partnership agreement contains any contractual limitations concerning distributions to the incentive distribution rights that would impact the amount of earnings to allocate to the incentive distribution rights for each reporting period. If distributions are contractually limited to the incentive distribution rights’ share of currently designated available cash for distributions as defined under the partnership agreement, undistributed earnings in excess of available cash should not be allocated to the incentive distribution rights. Under the two-class method, management of the Partnership believes the partnership agreement contractually limits cash distributions to available cash; therefore, undistributed earnings are not allocated to the incentive distribution rights.

Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents (whether paid or unpaid) are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per unit pursuant to the two-class method. The Partnership’s phantom unit awards, which consist of common units issuable under the terms of its long-term incentive plans and incentive compensation agreements (see Note 15), contain non-forfeitable rights to distribution equivalents of the Partnership. The participation rights result in a non-contingent transfer of value each time the Partnership declares a distribution or distribution equivalent right during the award’s vesting period. However, unless the contractual terms of the participating securities require the holders to share in the losses of the entity, net loss is not allocated to the participating securities. Therefore, the net income (loss) utilized in the calculation of net income (loss) per unit must be determined based upon the allocation of only net income to the phantom units on a pro-rata basis.

Class D Preferred Units participate in distributions with the common limited partner units according to a predetermined formula (see Note 5), thus they are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per unit pursuant to the two-class method. The participation rights result in a non-contingent transfer of value each time the Partnership declares a distribution.

 

F-69


However, the contractual terms of the Class D Preferred Units do not require the holders to share in the losses of the entity, therefore the net income (loss) utilized in the calculation of net income (loss) per unit must be determined based upon the allocation of only net income to the Class D Preferred Units on a pro-rata basis.

Class E Preferred Units do not participate in distributions with the common limited partner units according to a predetermined formula, but rather receive distributions based upon a set percentage rate (see Note 5), thus they are not considered participating securities. However, income available to common limited partners is reduced by the distributions accumulated for the period on the Class E Preferred Units, whether declared or not since the distributions on Class E Preferred Units are cumulative.

The following is a reconciliation of net income (loss) allocated to the General Partner and common limited partners for purposes of calculating net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit (in thousands):

(1) Net loss attributable to common limited partners’ ownership interest is allocated to the phantom units on a pro-rata basis (weighted average phantom units outstanding as a percentage of the sum of the weighted average phantom units and common limited partner units outstanding). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, net loss attributable to common limited partners’ ownership interest is not allocated to approximately 967,000 and 1,011,000 weighted average phantom units, respectively, because the contractual terms of the phantom units as participating securities do not require the holders to share in the losses of the entity.
(2) Net loss attributable to common limited partners’ ownership interest is allocated to the Class D Preferred Units on a pro-rata basis (weighted average Class D Preferred Units outstanding, plus a contractual yield premium of 1%, as a percentage of the sum of the weighted average Class D Preferred Units and common limited partner units outstanding). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, net loss attributable to common limited partners’ ownership interest is not allocated to approximately 9,013,000 and 4,531,000 weighted average Class D Preferred Units, respectively, because the contractual terms of the Class D Preferred Units as participating securities do not require the holders to share in the losses of the entity.

Diluted net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners, plus income allocable to participating securities, by the sum of the weighted average number of common limited partner units outstanding plus the dilutive effect of outstanding participating securities and the effects of outstanding convertible securities. The phantom units and Class D Preferred Units are participating securities included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) attributable to common units, due to their participation rights and due to their dilution if converted. The Class E Preferred Units are not participating securities and are not convertible and thus are not included in the units outstanding for calculation of diluted net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the Partnership’s weighted average number of common limited partner units used to compute basic net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit with those used to compute diluted net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners per unit (in thousands):

(1) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, approximately 967,000 and 1,011,000 weighted average phantom units, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings attributable to common limited partners per unit, because the inclusion of such phantom units would have been anti-dilutive.
(2) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, approximately 9,013,000 and 4,531,000 weighted average Class D Preferred Units, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted net income (loss) attributable to common limited partners as the impact of the conversion would have been anti-dilutive.

Revenue Recognition

The Partnership accrues unbilled revenue and the related purchase costs due to timing differences between the delivery of natural gas, NGLs, and condensate and the receipt of a delivery statement. This revenue is recorded based upon volumetric data from the Partnership’s records and management estimates of the related gathering and compression fees and applicable product prices. The Partnership had unbilled revenues at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 of $179.5 million and $134.9 million, respectively, which are included in accounts receivable within its consolidated balance sheets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. These cash equivalents consist principally of temporary investments of cash in short-term money market instruments. Checks outstanding at the end of a period that exceed available cash balances held at the bank are considered to be book overdrafts and are reclassified to accounts payable. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Partnership reclassified the balances related to book overdrafts of $23.0 million and $28.8 million, respectively, from cash and cash equivalents to accounts payable on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets.

Recently Adopted Accounting Standards

In July 2013, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2013-11, “Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists,” which, among other changes, requires an entity to present an unrecognized tax benefit as a liability and not net with deferred tax assets when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date to settle any additional income taxes under the tax law of the applicable jurisdiction that would result from the disallowance of a tax position or when the tax law of the applicable tax jurisdiction does not require, and the entity does not intend to, use the deferred tax asset for such purpose. These requirements are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. Early adoption is permitted. These amendments should be applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application is permitted. The Partnership applied these requirements upon the adoption of the ASU on January 1, 2014. The adoption had no material impact on the Partnership’s financial position or results of operations.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606).” ASU 2014-09 will supersede the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605 “Revenue Recognition”, and most industry-specific guidance. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

The amendments in ASU 2014-09 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. An entity should apply the amendments in this ASU using one of the following methods: (1) retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or (2) retrospectively with the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard recognized at the date of initial application.

The Partnership will apply these requirements upon the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2017. The Partnership is currently in the process of evaluating which method to use for application of ASU 2014-09 and is still determining the impacts of ASU 2014-09 on its financial position, results of operations and disclosures.

NOTE 3 – ACQUISITIONS

On May 7, 2013, the Partnership completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of TEAK Midstream, LLC (“TEAK”) for $974.7 million in cash, including final purchase price adjustments, less cash received (the “TEAK Acquisition”). The assets of these companies include gas gathering and processing facilities in Texas. The acquisition included a 75% interest in T2 LaSalle Gathering Company L.L.C. (“T2 LaSalle”); a 50% interest in T2 Eagle Ford Gathering Company L.L.C. (“T2 Eagle Ford”); and a 50% interest in T2 EF Cogeneration Holdings L.L.C. (“T2 Co-Gen” and together with T2 Eagle Ford and T2 LaSalle, the “T2 Joint Ventures”).

The Partnership accounted for this transaction as a business combination. Accordingly, the Partnership evaluated the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. The following table presents the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the TEAK Acquisition, based on their final estimated fair values at the date of the acquisition (in thousands):

NOTE 4 – EQUITY METHOD INVESTMENTS

West Texas LPG Pipeline Limited Partnership

On May 14, 2014, the Partnership completed the sale of two indirect subsidiaries, which held an aggregate 20% interest in West Texas LPG Pipeline Limited Partnership (“WTLPG”), to a subsidiary of Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (NYSE: MMLP). The Partnership received $132.7 million in proceeds, net of selling costs, which were used to pay down the Partnership’s revolving credit facility (see Note 13). As a result of the sale, the Partnership recorded a $48.5 million gain on asset dispositions on its consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

WTLPG owns a common-carrier pipeline system that transports NGLs from New Mexico and Texas to Mont Belvieu, Texas for fractionation. WTLPG is operated by Chevron Pipeline Company, an affiliate of Chevron Corporation, a Delaware corporation (NYSE: CVX), which owns the remaining 80% interest. The Partnership accounted for its subsidiaries’ ownership interest in WTLPG under the equity method of accounting, with recognition of income of WTLPG as equity income in joint ventures on its consolidated statements of operations.

T2 Joint Ventures

On May 7, 2013, the Partnership acquired a 75% interest in T2 LaSalle, a 50% interest in T2 Eagle Ford and a 50% interest in T2 EF Co-Gen as part of the TEAK Acquisition (see Note 3). The T2 Joint Ventures are operated by TexStar Midstream Services, L.P. (“TexStar”), the investor owning the remaining interests. The T2 Joint Ventures were formed to provide services for the benefit of the joint interest owners. The T2 Joint Ventures have capacity lease agreements with the joint interest owners, which cover the costs of operations of the T2 Joint Ventures. The Partnership accounts for its investments in the joint ventures under the equity method of accounting.

The Partnership evaluated whether the T2 Joint Ventures should be subject to consolidation. The T2 Joint Ventures do meet the qualifications of a Variable Interest Entity (“VIE”), but the Partnership does not meet the qualifications as the primary beneficiary. Even though the Partnership owns a 50% or

 

F-73


greater interest in the T2 Joint Ventures, the Partnership does not have controlling financial interests in these entities. Since the Partnership shares equal management rights with TexStar, and TexStar is the operator of the T2 Joint Ventures, the Partnership determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of the VIEs and should not consolidate the T2 Joint Ventures. The Partnership accounts for its investment in the T2 Joint Ventures under the equity method, since the Partnership does not have a controlling financial interest, but does have a significant influence. The Partnership’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with the VIEs includes its equity investment, any additional capital contribution commitments and the Partnership’s share of any approved operating expenses incurred by the VIEs.

NOTE 5 – EQUITY

Common Units

On May 12, 2014, the Partnership entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “2014 EDA”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (“Citigroup”), Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and MLV & Co. LLC (together, the “Sales Agents”). Pursuant to the 2014 EDA, the Partnership may offer and sell from time to time through its Sales Agents, common units having an aggregate value up to $250.0 million. Sales are at market prices prevailing at the time of the sale.

In November 2012, the Partnership entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “2012 EDA”, and together with the 2014 EDA, the “EDAs”) with Citigroup. Pursuant to this program, the Partnership offered and sold through Citigroup, as its sales agent, common units for $150.0 million. The Partnership used the full capacity under the 2012 EDA during the year ended 2013.

During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Partnership issued 1,462,187 and 642,495 common units, respectively, under the EDAs for net proceeds of $47.4 million and $24.5 million,

 

F-74


respectively, net of $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in commissions paid to the Sales Agents. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Partnership issued 1,462,187 and 1,090,280 common units, respectively, under the EDAs for net proceeds of $47.4 million and $38.9 million, respectively, net of $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in commissions paid to the Sales Agents. The Partnership also received capital contributions from the General Partner of $1.0 million and $0.5 million, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, to maintain its 2.0% general partner interest in the Partnership. The net proceeds from the common unit offerings were utilized for general partnership purposes.

Cash Distributions

The Partnership is required to distribute, within 45 days after the end of each quarter, all its available cash (as defined in its partnership agreement) for that quarter to its common unitholders (subject to the rights of any other class or series of the Partnership’s securities with the right to share in the Partnership’s cash distributions) and to the General Partner. If common unit distributions in any quarter exceed specified target levels, the General Partner will receive between 15% and 50% of such distributions in excess of the specified target levels, including the General Partner’s 2.0% interest. The General Partner, which holds all the incentive distribution rights in the Partnership, has agreed to allocate up to $3.75 million of its incentive distribution rights per quarter back to the Partnership after the General Partner receives the initial $7.0 million per quarter of incentive distribution rights.

Common unit and General Partner distributions declared by the Partnership for quarters ending from March 31, 2013 through March 31, 2014 were as follows:

On July 23, 2014, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.63 per unit on its outstanding common limited partner units, representing the cash distribution for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The $58.8 million distribution, including $7.1 million to the General Partner for its general partner interest and incentive distribution rights, will be paid on August 14, 2014 to unitholders of record at the close of business on August 7, 2014.

Class D Preferred Units

The Partnership’s Class D Preferred Units are presented combined with a net $38.8 million unaccreted beneficial conversion discount on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2014. The Partnership recorded $11.4 million and $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $22.8 million and $6.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, within preferred unit imputed dividend effect on the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations to recognize the accretion of the beneficial conversion discount.

 

F-75


The Class D Preferred Units will receive distributions of additional Class D Preferred Units for the first four full quarterly periods following their issuance in May 2013, and thereafter will receive distributions in Class D Preferred Units, or cash, or a combination of Class D Preferred Units and cash, at the discretion of the General Partner. The Partnership recorded Class D Preferred Unit distributions in kind of $10.4 million and $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $20.1 million and $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as preferred unit dividends in kind on the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Partnership distributed 305,983 and 580,768, respectively, Class D Preferred Units to the holders of the Class D Preferred Units. The Partnership did not distribute any Class D Preferred Units during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. The Partnership considers preferred unit distributions paid in kind to be a non-cash financing activity.

On July 23, 2014, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.63 per unit on its outstanding common limited partner units, representing the cash distribution for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. Based on this declaration, on August 14, 2014, the Partnership will issue approximately 305,000 Class D Preferred Units as a preferred unit distribution in kind for the quarter ended June 30, 2014 to the preferred unitholders of record at the close of business on August 7, 2014.

Class E Preferred Units

On March 17, 2014, the Partnership issued 5,060,000 of its Class E Preferred Units to the public at an offering price of $25.00 per Class E Preferred Unit. The Partnership received $122.3 million in net proceeds. The proceeds were used to pay down the Partnership’s revolving credit facility.

The Partnership will make cumulative cash distributions on the Class E Preferred Units from the date of original issue. The cash distributions will be payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15, and October 15 of each year, when, and if, declared by the board of directors. The initial distribution on the Class E Preferred Units was paid on July 15, 2014 in an amount equal to $0.67604 per unit, or approximately $3.4 million, representing the distribution for the period March 17, 2014 to July 14, 2014. Going forward, the Partnership will pay cumulative distributions in cash on the Class E Preferred Units on a quarterly basis at a rate of $0.515625 per unit, or 8.25% per year. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Partnership allocated net income of $2.6 million and $3.0 million, respectively, to the Class E Preferred Units for the dividends earned during the period, which was recorded as preferred unit dividends on its consolidated statements of operations.

At any time on or after March 17, 2019, or in the event of a liquidation or certain changes of control, the Partnership may redeem the Class E Preferred Units, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of $25.00 per unit plus an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid distributions on the date of redemption, whether or not declared. If the Partnership does not exercise this redemption right upon a change of control, then the holders of the Class E Preferred Units will have the option to convert their Class E Preferred Units into a number of the Partnership’s common units, as set forth in the Certificate of Designation relating to the Class E Preferred Units.

The Partnership recorded depreciation expense on property, plant and equipment, including capital lease arrangements (see Note 13), of $28.5 million and $24.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $56.3 million and $46.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, on its consolidated statements of operations.

The Partnership capitalizes interest on borrowed funds related to capital projects only for periods that activities are in progress to bring these projects to their intended use. The weighted average interest rate used to capitalize interest on borrowed funds was 5.6% and 5.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and 5.6% and 6.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The amount of interest capitalized was $3.2 million and $1.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $6.1 million and $3.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

NOTE 7 – GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Goodwill is the cost of an acquisition less the fair value of the net identifiable assets of the acquired business. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below an operating segment (also known as a component). The Partnership evaluates goodwill for impairment annually, on December 31, for all reporting units, except SouthTX, which is evaluated on April 30. The Partnership tested the SouthTX reporting unit goodwill for impairment as of April 30, 2014. The results indicated the fair value of the SouthTX reporting unit was higher than its carrying value, and thus, goodwill recorded on the SouthTX reporting unit was not impaired as of April 30, 2014. The following table reflects the carrying amounts of goodwill by reporting unit at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

The change in goodwill is related to a $2.8 million decrease in goodwill related to an adjustment of the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from the TEAK Acquisition (See Note 3). The Partnership expects all goodwill recorded to be deductible for tax purposes.

The Partnership has recorded intangible assets with finite lives in connection with certain consummated acquisitions. The following table reflects the components of intangible assets being amortized at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

NOTE 10 – DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The Partnership uses derivative instruments in connection with its commodity price risk management activities. The Partnership uses financial swap and option instruments to hedge its forecasted natural gas, NGLs and condensate sales against the variability in expected future cash flows attributable to changes in market prices. Changes in fair value of derivatives are recognized immediately within derivative gain (loss), net in its consolidated statements of operations. Due to the right of setoff, derivatives are recorded on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets as assets or liabilities at fair value on the basis of the net exposure to each counterparty.

The following tables summarize the Partnership’s gross fair values of its derivative instruments, presenting the impact of offsetting derivative assets and liabilities on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets for the periods indicated (in thousands):

NOTE 11 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Partnership uses a valuation framework based upon inputs that market participants use in pricing an asset or liability, which are classified into two categories: observable inputs and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs represent market data obtained from independent sources; whereas, unobservable inputs reflect the Partnership’s own market assumptions, which are used if observable inputs are not reasonably available without undue cost and effort. These two types of inputs are further prioritized into the following hierarchy:

Level 1– Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical, unrestricted assets and liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset and liability or can be corroborated with observable market data for substantially the entire contractual term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions market participants would use in the pricing of the asset or liability and are consequently not based on market activity but rather through particular valuation techniques.

Derivative Instruments

At June 30, 2014, the valuations for all the Partnership’s derivative contracts are defined as Level 2 assets and liabilities within the same class of nature and risk, with the exception of the Partnership’s NGL fixed price swaps and NGL options, which are defined as Level 3 assets and liabilities within the same class of nature and risk.

The Partnership’s Level 2 commodity derivatives include natural gas and crude oil swaps and options, which are calculated based upon observable market data related to the change in price of the underlying commodity. These swaps and options are calculated by utilizing the New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) quoted prices for futures and option contracts traded on NYMEX that coincide with the underlying commodity, expiration period, strike price (if applicable) and pricing formula utilized in the derivative instrument.

 

F-83


Valuations for the Partnership’s NGL options are based on forward price curves developed by financial institutions, and therefore are defined as Level 3. The NGL options are over-the-counter instruments that are not actively traded in an open market, thus the Partnership utilizes the valuations provided by the financial institutions that provide the NGL options for trade. The Partnership tests these valuations for reasonableness through the use of an internal valuation model.

Valuations for the Partnership’s NGL fixed price swaps are based on forward price curves provided by a third party, which the Partnership considers to be Level 3 inputs. The prices are adjusted based upon the relationship between the prices for the product/locations quoted by the third party and the underlying product/locations utilized for the swap contracts, as determined by a regression model of the historical settlement prices for the different product/locations. The regression model is recalculated on a quarterly basis. This adjustment is an unobservable Level 3 input. The NGL fixed price swaps are over-the-counter instruments which are not actively traded in an open market. However, the prices for the underlying products and locations do have a direct correlation to the prices for the products and locations provided by the third party, which are based upon trading activity for the products and locations quoted. A change in the relationship between these prices would have a direct impact upon the unobservable adjustment utilized to calculate the fair value of the NGL fixed price swaps.

NGL Linefill

The Partnership had $23.4 million and $14.5 million of NGL linefill at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which was included within prepaid expenses and other on its consolidated balance sheets. The NGL linefill represents amounts receivable for NGLs delivered to counterparties, for which the counterparty will pay at a designated later period at a price determined by the then market price. The Partnership’s NGL linefill held by some counterparties will be settled at various periods in the future and is defined as a Level 3 asset, which is valued using the same forward price curve utilized to value the Partnership’s NGL fixed price swaps. The product/location adjustment based upon the multiple regression analysis, which was included in the value of the linefill, was a reduction of $0.4 million and $0.4 million as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The Partnership’s NGL linefill held by other counterparties is adjusted on a monthly basis according to the volumes delivered to the counterparties each period and is valued on a first in first out (“FIFO”) basis.

Contingent Consideration

In February 2012, the Partnership acquired a gas gathering system and related assets for an initial net purchase price of $19.0 million. The Partnership agreed to pay up to an additional $12.0 million in contingent payments, payable in two equal amounts, if certain volumes are achieved on the acquired gathering system within a specified time period. Sufficient volumes were achieved in December 2012 and the Partnership paid the first contingent payment of $6.0 million in January 2013. As of June 30, 2014, the fair value of the remaining contingent payment resulted in a $6.0 million long term liability, which was recorded within other long term liabilities on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets. The range of the undiscounted amount the Partnership could pay related to the remaining contingent payment is between $0.0 and $6.0 million.

Other Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of the Partnership’s other financial instruments has been determined based upon its assessment of available market information and valuation methodologies. However, these estimates may not necessarily be indicative of the amounts the Partnership could realize upon the sale or refinancing of such financial instruments.

The Partnership’s current assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets, other than the derivatives, NGL linefill and contingent consideration discussed above, are considered to be financial instruments for which the estimated fair values of these instruments approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature and thus are categorized as Level 1 values. The carrying value of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, which bear interest at a variable interest rate, approximates their estimated fair value and thus is categorized as a Level 1 value. The estimated fair value of the Partnership’s Senior Notes (see Note 13) is based upon the market approach and calculated using the yield of the Senior Notes as provided by financial institutions and thus is categorized as a Level 3 value. The estimated fair values of the Partnership’s total debt at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, which consists principally of borrowings under the revolving credit facility and the Senior Notes, were $1,685.3 million and $1,663.6 million, respectively, compared with the carrying amounts of $1,654.6 million and $1,707.3 million, respectively.

Acquisitions

On May 7, 2013, the Partnership completed the TEAK Acquisition (see Note 3). The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates at the time of the valuation.

Revolving Credit Facility

At June 30, 2014, the Partnership had a $600.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of banks that matures in May 2017. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings on the revolving credit facility, at June 30, 2014, was 3.2%. Up to $50.0 million of the revolving credit facility may be utilized for letters of credit, of which $3.1 million was outstanding at June 30, 2014. These outstanding letters of credit amounts were not reflected as borrowings on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets. At June 30, 2014, the Partnership had $496.9 million of remaining committed capacity under its revolving credit facility.

The events that constitute an event of default for the revolving credit facility are also customary for loans of this size, including payment defaults, breaches of representations or covenants contained in the credit agreement, adverse judgments against the Partnership in excess of a specified amount, and a change of control of the General Partner.

 

F-88


On March 11, 2014, the Partnership entered into an amendment to the credit agreement governing the revolving credit facility which, among other changes:

 

    adjusted the duration of, and maximum ratios allowed during, the Acquisition Period, as defined in the credit agreement, for the Consolidated Funded Debt Ratio, as defined in the credit agreement; and

 

    permitted the payment of cash distributions, if any, on the Class E Preferred Units so long as the Partnership has a pro forma Minimum Liquidity, as defined in the credit agreement, of greater than or equal to $50 million.

As of June 30, 2014, the Partnership was in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility.

Senior Notes

At June 30, 2014, the Partnership had $500.0 million principal outstanding of 6.625% unsecured senior notes due October 1, 2020 (“6.625% Senior Notes”), $650.0 million principal outstanding of 5.875% unsecured senior notes due August 1, 2023 (“5.875% Senior Notes”), and $400.0 million of 4.75% unsecured senior notes due November 15, 2021 (“4.75% Senior Notes” and with the 6.625% Senior Notes and 5.875% Senior Notes, the “Senior Notes”). The 6.625% Senior Notes are presented combined with a net $4.2 million unamortized premium as of June 30, 2014.

Indentures governing the Senior Notes contain covenants, including limitations of the Partnership’s ability to: incur certain liens; engage in sale/leaseback transactions; incur additional indebtedness; declare or pay distributions if an event of default has occurred; redeem, repurchase or retire equity interests or subordinated indebtedness; make certain investments; or merge, consolidate or sell substantially all its assets. The Partnership is in compliance with these covenants as of June 30, 2014.

4.75% Senior Notes

On May 10, 2013, the Partnership issued $400.0 million of the 4.75% Senior Notes in a private placement transaction. The 4.75% Senior Notes were issued at par. The Partnership received net proceeds of $391.2 million after underwriting commissions and other transactions costs and utilized the proceeds to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the revolving credit agreement as part of the TEAK Acquisition (see Note 3).

5.875% Senior Notes

On February 11, 2013, the Partnership issued $650.0 million of the 5.875% Senior Notes in a private placement transaction. The 5.875% Senior Notes were issued at par. The Partnership received net proceeds of $637.3 million after underwriting commissions and other transactions costs and utilized the proceeds to redeem the 8.75% Senior Notes and repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under the credit facility.

8.75% Senior Notes

On January 28, 2013, the Partnership commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of its outstanding 8.75% Senior Notes and a solicitation of consents to eliminate most of the restrictive covenants and certain of the events of default contained in the indenture governing the 8.75% Senior

 

F-89


Notes (“8.75% Senior Notes Indenture”). Approximately $268.4 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.75% Senior Notes were validly tendered as of the expiration date of the consent solicitation. In February 2013, the Partnership accepted for purchase all 8.75% Senior Notes validly tendered as of the expiration of the consent solicitation and paid $291.4 million to redeem the $268.4 million principal plus $11.2 million make-whole premium, $3.7 million accrued interest and $8.0 million consent payment. The Partnership entered into a supplemental indenture amending and supplementing the 8.75% Senior Notes Indenture.

On March 12, 2013, the Partnership paid $105.6 million to redeem the remaining $97.3 million 8.75% Senior Notes not purchased in connection with the tender offer, plus a $6.3 million make-whole premium and $2.0 million in accrued interest. The Partnership funded the redemption with a portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of the 5.875% Senior Notes.

Depreciation expense for leased properties was $32 thousand and $39 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $64 thousand and $250 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which is included within depreciation and amortization expense on the Partnership’s consolidated statements of operations (see Note 6).

NOTE 14 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Partnership has certain long-term unconditional purchase obligations and commitments, consisting primarily of transportation contracts. These agreements provide for transportation services to be used in the ordinary course of the Partnership’s operations. Transportation fees paid related to these contracts, including minimum shipment payments, were $7.9 million and $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $15.2 million and $6.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The future fixed and determinable portion of the obligations as of June 30, 2014 was as follows: remainder of 2014 – $3.0 million; 2015 – $3.4 million; 2016 to 2017 – $3.5 million per year; and 2018 – $2.7 million.

The Partnership had committed approximately $182.4 million for the purchase of property, plant and equipment at June 30, 2014.

The Partnership is a party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of its business. Management of the Partnership believes that the ultimate resolution of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

NOTE 15 – BENEFIT PLANS

Long-Term Incentive Plans

The Partnership has a 2004 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2004 LTIP”) and a 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2010 LTIP” and collectively with the 2004 LTIP, the “LTIPs”) in which officers, employees, non-employee managing board members of the General Partner, employees of the General Partner’s affiliates and consultants are eligible to participate. The LTIPs are administered by the compensation committee appointed by the General Partner’s managing board (the “Compensation Committee”). Under the LTIPs, the Compensation Committee may make awards of either phantom units or unit options for an aggregate of 3,435,000 common units. At June 30, 2014, the Partnership had 2,046,819 phantom units outstanding under the Partnership’s LTIPs, with 121,946 phantom units and unit options available for grant. The Partnership generally issues new common units for phantom units and unit options that have vested and have been exercised.

Partnership Phantom Units

Phantom units granted to employees under the LTIPs generally have vesting periods of four years. However, in February 2014, the Partnership granted 227,000 phantom units with a vesting period of three years. Phantom units awarded to non-employee managing board members will vest over a four year period. Awards to non-employee members of the board automatically vest upon a change of control, as defined in the LTIPs. At June 30, 2014, there were 621,295 phantom units outstanding under the LTIPs that will vest within twelve months.

All phantom units outstanding under the LTIPs at June 30, 2014 include distribution equivalent rights (“DERs”), which are rights to receive cash per phantom unit in an amount equal to and at the same time as the cash distributions the Partnership makes on a common unit during the period the phantom unit is outstanding. The DERs were granted to the participants by the Compensation Committee. The amounts paid with respect to LTIP DERs were $1.0 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1.9 million and $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These amounts were recorded as reductions of equity on the Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets.

(3) The aggregate intrinsic value for phantom unit awards outstanding at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $70.4 million and $50.7 million, respectively.
(4) There were 26,042 and 22,539 outstanding phantom unit awards at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which were classified as liabilities due to a cash option available on the related phantom unit awards.
(5) The aggregate intrinsic value for phantom unit awards vested but not issued at June 30, 2014 and 2013 was $3.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

At June 30, 2014, the Partnership had approximately $41.6 million of unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested phantom units outstanding under the LTIPs based upon the fair value of the awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.1 years.

NOTE 16 – RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Partnership does not directly employ any persons to manage or operate its business. These functions are provided by the General Partner and employees of ATLS. The General Partner does not receive a management fee in connection with its management of the Partnership apart from its interest as general partner and its right to receive incentive distributions. The Partnership reimburses the General Partner and its affiliates for compensation and benefits related to its employees who perform services for the Partnership based upon an estimate of the time spent by such persons on activities for the Partnership. Other indirect costs, such as rent for offices, are allocated to the Partnership by ATLS based on the number of its employees who devote their time to activities on the Partnership’s behalf.

The partnership agreement provides that the General Partner will determine the costs and expenses allocable to the Partnership in any reasonable manner determined by the General Partner at its sole discretion. The Partnership reimbursed the General Partner and its affiliates $1.3 million in each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and $2.5 million in each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, for compensation and benefits related to its employees. There were no reimbursements for direct expenses incurred by the General Partner and its affiliates for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The General Partner believes the method utilized in allocating costs to the Partnership is reasonable.

 

F-92


The Partnership compresses and gathers gas for Atlas Resource Partners, L.P. (NYSE: ARP) (“ARP”) on its gathering systems located in Tennessee. ARP’s general partner is wholly-owned by ATLS, and two members of the General Partner’s managing board are members of ARP’s board of directors. The Partnership entered into an agreement to provide these services, which extends for the life of ARP’s leases, in February 2008. The Partnership charged ARP approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million in compression and gathering fees for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.1 million in compression and gathering fees for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

NOTE 17 – SEGMENT INFORMATION

As a result of the sale of the Partnership’s subsidiaries owning an interest in WTLPG on May 14, 2014 (see Note 4), the Partnership assessed its reportable segments and realigned its reportable segments into two new segments: Oklahoma Gathering and Processing (“Oklahoma”) and Texas Gathering and Processing (“Texas”). These reportable segments reflect the way the Partnership will manage its operations going forward. The Partnership has adjusted its segment presentation from the amounts previously presented to reflect the realignment of the segments.

The Oklahoma segment consists of the SouthOK and WestOK operations, which are comprised of natural gas gathering, processing and treating assets servicing drilling activity in the Anadarko and Arkoma Basins and which were formerly included within the previous Gathering and Processing segment. Oklahoma revenues are primarily derived from the sale of residue gas and NGLs and the gathering, processing and treating of natural gas within the state of Oklahoma.

The Texas segment consists of (1) the SouthTX and WestTX operations, which are comprised of natural gas gathering and processing assets servicing drilling activity in the Permian Basin and the Eagle Ford Shale play in south Texas; and (2) the natural gas gathering assets located in the Barnett Shale play in Texas. These assets were formerly included within the previous Gathering and Processing segment. Texas revenues are primarily derived from the sale of residue gas and NGLs and the gathering and processing of natural gas within the state of Texas.

The previous Transportation and Treating segment, which consisted of (1) the gas treating operations, which own contract gas treating facilities located in various shale plays; and (2) the former subsidiaries’ interest in WTLPG, has been eliminated and the financial information is now included within Corporate and Other. The natural gas gathering assets located in the Appalachian Basin in Tennessee, which were formerly included in the previous Gathering and Processing Segment, are now included within Corporate and Other.

NOTE 19 – SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 23, 2014, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.63 per unit on its outstanding common limited partner units, representing the cash distribution for the quarter ended June 30, 2014. The $58.8 million distribution, including $7.1 million to the General Partner for its general partner interest and incentive distribution rights, will be paid on August 14, 2014 to unitholders of record at the close of business on August 7, 2014 (see Note 5). Based on this declaration, the Partnership will also issue approximately 305,000 additional Class D Preferred Units to the holders of the Class D Preferred Units as a preferred unit distribution in kind for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

On July 15, 2014, the Partnership paid a cash distribution of $0.67604 per unit, or approximately $3.4 million, on its Class E Preferred Units, representing the cash distribution for the period March 17, 2014 to July 14, 2014.

Exhibit 99.2

Targa Resources Partners LP

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Acquisition of Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P.

On October 13, 2014, Targa Resources Partners LP (the “Partnership”, “TRP”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) and Targa Resources Corp. (“TRC”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “MLP Merger Agreement”) by and among the Partnership, TRC, Targa Resources GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of the Partnership (the “GP”), Trident MLP Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership (“MLP Merger Sub”), Atlas Energy, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ATLS”), Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P, a Delaware limited partnership (“APL”) and Atlas Pipeline Partners GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of APL. Under the terms and conditions set forth in the MLP Merger Agreement (the “APL Merger”), MLP Merger Sub will be merged with and into APL, with APL continuing as the surviving entity and as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Partnership.

The Partnership will acquire APL (the “APL acquisition”) for total consideration of $5.8 billion, including $1.8 billion of debt as of September 30, 2014. Each APL common unitholder will be entitled to receive 0.5846 units of the Partnership (the “APL Unit Consideration”) and a one-time cash payment of $1.26 per APL common unit (the “APL Cash Consideration”) for total consideration of $38.66 per APL common unit, based on the closing price of the Partnership’s units on October 10, 2014. The exchange ratio was negotiated as a 15% premium for APL common unitholders based on the volume weighted average prices of APL and TRP units during the 15 trading days ending October 3, 2014. APL has agreed to exercise its right under the certificate of designations of the APL Class D Preferred Units, to convert all APL Class D Preferred Units that are issued and outstanding as of the record date for the APL unitholders meeting (which will be held to vote on the APL Merger) into APL common units.

APL has agreed to exercise its right under the certificate of designations of the APL Class E Preferred Units to redeem the APL Class E Preferred Units for $126.5 million immediately prior to the effective time of the APL Merger, and the Partnership has agreed to deposit the funds for such redemption with the paying agent. The Partnership expects to finance the cash portion of the transaction with borrowings under its revolving credit facility. In connection with the acquisitions, TRC has agreed to reduce its incentive distribution rights for the four years following closing by fixed amounts of $37.5 million, $25.0 million, $10.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively. These annual amounts will be applied in equal quarterly installments for each successive four quarter period following closing.

In connection with the APL Merger, each outstanding APL phantom unit award held by an employee of APL will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive (1) the APL Cash Consideration in respect of each APL common unit underlying such APL phantom unit award and (2) a TRP phantom unit award with respect to a number of TRP common units equal to the product of the APL Unit Consideration multiplied by the number of APL common units underlying such APL phantom unit award. Following the closing of the APL Merger, the TRP phantom unit award will continue to have the same material terms and conditions and the same vesting conditions as applied to the corresponding APL phantom unit award immediately prior to the closing of the APL Merger, and will settle in TRP common units upon vesting.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been developed by applying pro forma adjustments to the historical audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Partnership. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014 of the Partnership has been prepared to give effect to the APL acquisition as if it had occurred on June 30, 2014. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations of the Partnership for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and year ended December 31, 2013, have been prepared to give effect to the APL acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 2013.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements include pro forma adjustments that are factually supportable and directly attributable to the APL acquisition. In addition, with respect to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operation, pro forma adjustments have been made only for items that are expected to have a continuing impact on the consolidated results.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with (i) the historical audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the respective Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 for the Partnership (as revised for the effects of the revenues and purchases adjustments described in the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 23, 2014) and APL; (ii) the unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in the respective Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the six months ended June 30, 2014 for the Partnership (as revised for the effects of the revenues and purchases adjustments described in the Partnership’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 23, 2014) and APL; and (iii) the notes accompanying these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited pro forma adjustments are based on available preliminary information and certain assumptions that the Partnership believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are presented for informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of the results that might have occurred had the APL acquisition taken place on June 30, 2014 for balance sheet purposes, and on January 1, 2013 for statements of operations purposes, and are not intended to be a projection of future results. Actual results may vary significantly from the results reflected because of various factors. All pro forma adjustments and their underlying assumptions are described more fully in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Except as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure, the dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnote disclosures are stated in millions of dollars.

Note 1 - Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

Item 9.01 of Form 8-K requires that we provide the following pro forma financial statements applicable to the APL acquisition:

 

    Unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, and for the six months ended June 30, 2014 prepared as if the APL acquisition occurred as of January 1, 2013.

 

    Unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2014, prepared as if the APL acquisition occurred as of the balance sheet date.

Under Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations, pro forma adjustments to our statements of operations are limited to those that are (1) directly attributable to the acquisition, (2) factually supportable and (3) expected to have a continuing impact. As such, in preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations we have combined our reported results with those of the acquired company and made adjustments to:

 

    exclude the financial results of assets sold by APL prior to our acquisition;

 

    conform the seller’s reported results of operations to our policies;

 

    include incremental depreciation and amortization associated with fair value adjustments under the acquisition method of accounting for business acquisitions;

 

    eliminate the impact of historical transactions between APL and us; and

 

    include the financing costs applicable to the financing transactions for the APL transaction described above.

Under SEC regulations, pro forma adjustments to our balance sheet are limited to those that give effect to events that are directly attributable to the acquisition and are factually supportable regardless of whether they have a continuing impact or are nonrecurring. As such in preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet, we have utilized our previously reported unaudited balance sheet as June 30, 2014 and made adjustments to:

 

    incorporate the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired based on our preliminary APL acquisition valuation;

 

    present the impact of the merger consideration paid in cash and via common unit exchange, as well as the preferred unit redemptions and conversions described above;

 

    reflect our incremental borrowings to finance activities directly related to the APL acquisition; and

 

    accrue acquisition related expenses.

The Partnership accounts for business combinations pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805, Business Combinations. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements reflect preliminary estimates of the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on the application of ASC 805. The fair values assigned to APL’s tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on management’s estimates and assumptions. The estimated fair values of these assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary and are based on the information that was available as of the date of the MLP Merger Agreement. These fair value estimates may be revised after the transactions close to reflect the final valuation based on updated information and revised assumptions. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if the Partnership had completed the transactions on the dates indicated or which could be obtained in the future. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with these notes accompanying the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and with the historical consolidated financial statements.

On October 13, 2014, the Partnership and APL entered into the MLP Merger Agreement. The acquisition is currently expected to close in the first quarter of 2015. The pro forma fair value of the consideration transferred for APL was approximately $5.6 billion, which consisted of the following:

 

Purchase price:

  

APL Equity Value

   $ 3,636.3   

Cash payment to APL unitholders ($1.26 per unit multiplied by 98.5 million units at June 30, 2014)

     124.1   

APL redeems Class E Preferred Units at APL Effective Time; Targa deposits the funds

     126.5   

Management change of control payments

     28.6   
  

 

 

 

Total purchase consideration

   $ 3,915.5   
  

 

 

 

Debt outstanding (as of June 30, 2014):

  

APL Senior Notes due 2020, 2021 and 2023

   $ 1,554.6   

APL senior secured revolving credit facility that matures in May 2017 (the “APL Revolver”)

     100.0   
  

 

 

 

Total debt outstanding

   $ 1,654.6   
  

 

 

 

The equity value portion of the consideration for the Partnership’s common units included in these pro forma financial statements is based on the closing price of $63.78 on October 22, 2014, and calculated as follows:

   $ 37.29   

Total Fully Diluted Units (Excluding Class E)

   x 98.5   
  

 

 

 

APL Equity Value, fully diluted (Excluding Class E)

     3,671.4   

Less: value of estimated unvested portion of APL phantom units converted to TRP LTIP units

     (35.1
  

 

 

 

APL Equity Value

   $ 3,636.3   
  

 

 

 

Under ASC 805, registrants are to use the most recent stock price at the time of filing for determining the value of stock to be issued in a transaction that has not yet consummated. The fair value of the APL Unit Consideration for the Partnership’s common units will fluctuate until the closing date as a result of fluctuations in the market price of the Partnership’s common units. A hypothetical increase (decrease) of 10% in the Partnership’s unit price would increase (decrease) the equity value portion of the consideration by $367.1 million.

  (1) Management anticipates that the fair values of working capital items approximate their carrying values.

 

  (2) The fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are considered preliminary and are based on the information that was available as of the execution of the merger agreement. Therefore, the fair values determined for these items may change significantly as additional information is obtained during the merger process.

 

  (3) The preliminary fair value adjustments to historical APL book values include: (i) an increase to intangible assets of $2,022.0 million; (ii) a decrease to other long term assets for the write-off of debt issuance costs of $37.7 million; and (iii) an increase to long term debt of $30.7 million. At this time, no assumptions have been made regarding the fair value of property, plant and equipment until detailed valuation appraisals are prepared.

 

  (b) Reflects redemption of Class E Perpetual Preferred units, which had a book value of $121.9 million at June 30, 2014, for $126.5 million, which represents their redemption price of $25.00 per unit. Additionally reflects the conversion of the $493.6 million of Class D Preferred Units to Common Units and the elimination of the impact of preferred unit dividends on Net Income attributable to limited partners.

 

  (c) The following table reflects the estimated sources and uses of cash for the acquisition:

  (f) Reflects the accrual of estimated acquisition-related transaction costs including legal, accounting, banking and other fees that are directly attributable to the transaction. The allocation of costs to the general partners is based on the 2% general partnership interest.

 

  (g) Reflects the elimination of APL’s historical goodwill, the elimination of the impact of the impairment of goodwill on the statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2013, and the preliminary estimate of goodwill for the Partnership’s acquisition of APL.

 

  (h) Reflects the elimination of third party transactions between the Partnership and APL, which are intercompany transactions on a pro forma basis. Amounts are less than $50 thousand for both periods presented.

 

  (i) Reflects the change in depreciation expense over the periods presented as a result of the acquisition.

  (1) For purposes of these pro forma financial statements, we have utilized the straight-line depreciation method and assumed an estimated useful life of 30 years for plant, property and equipment. We will subsequently determine the depreciation methods and estimated useful lives of the tangible assets of this acquisition. A five year change in estimated useful lives of depreciable tangible assets would result in a change to revised pro forma straight-line depreciation expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 as shown in the table below:

  (1) For purposes of these pro forma financial statements, we have utilized the straight-line amortization method and assumed an estimated useful life of 20 years for intangible assets, which is consistent with the useful lives of the Partnership’s existing intangible assets. We will subsequently determine the amortization method and estimated useful lives of the intangible assets of this acquisition. A five year change in estimated useful lives of definite-lived amortizable intangible assets would result in a change to revised pro forma straight-line amortization expense for the year ended December 31, 2013 as shown in the table below:

  (k) Reflects the elimination of $2.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $5.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 for compensation reimbursements to ATLS for executives not part of the acquired company. The financial effect and timing of the elimination of costs are certain. The allocation of general and administrative expenses from TRC to the Partnership is not expected to be materially impacted by the merger, as the Partnership already receives a full allocation of similar executive stewardship costs, which would not change due to the APL acquisition.

 

  (l) Reflects the estimated stock-based compensation expense related to the fair value of the unvested portion of replacement Partnership LTIP awards to be issued to APL Phantom Unitholders in connection with the acquisition. The compensation expense is recognized over the estimated remaining vesting periods, and replaces the historical stock-based compensation expense recorded by APL for Phantom units.

  (m) APL sold its 20% interest in West Texas LPG Pipeline Limited Partnership (“WTLPG”) in May 2014. These adjustments reflect the elimination of the Gain on Sale of WTLPG in 2014, as well as the equity earnings of WTLPG in 2014 and 2013.

 

  (n) Reflects additional interest expense on net borrowings under the TRP Revolver in connection with the acquisition, at historical weighted average rates for the revolving credit facilities:

 

Pro forma interest expense:    Six Months Ended

   $ (3.9    $ (7.4
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

A  18 percent variance in the interest rates for the TRP Revolver would have increased or decreased pro forma interest expense by $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

 

  (o) Reflects the adjustment of net income attributable to general and limited partners to give effect to the impact of pro forma adjustments, as well as the pro forma reduction of the general partners’ incentive distribution rights by fixed amounts of $37.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and $12.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

  (p) Reflects adjustments to weighted average basic and diluted units to give effect to each APL common unitholder entitled to receive 0.5846 common units of TRP in connection with the APL transaction:
