CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements included or incorporated by reference in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In many cases, these forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “projects,” “goals,” “objectives,” “targets,” “predicts,” “plans,” “seeks,” or similar expressions.

Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and we can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained. Our actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of known and unknown risks and uncertainties. You should also understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and should not consider the following list to be a complete statement of all potential risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from the results contemplated by such forward-looking statements include:

• the ability of our tenants and borrowers to make payments under their respective leases and mortgage loans, our reliance on certain major tenants under single tenant leases and our ability to re-lease properties;

• changes in economic and business conditions in the energy infrastructure sector where our investments are concentrated, including the financial condition of our tenants or borrowers and general economic conditions in the particular sectors of the energy industry served by each of our infrastructure assets;

• the inherent risks associated with owning real estate, including real estate market conditions, governing laws and regulations, including potential liabilities related to environmental matters, and the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;

• risks associated with the bankruptcy or default of any of our tenants or borrowers;

• the impact of laws and governmental regulations applicable to certain of our infrastructure assets, including additional costs imposed on our business or other adverse impacts as a result of any unfavorable changes in such laws or regulations;

• the loss of any member of our management team;

• our continued ability to access the debt and equity markets;

• our ability to successfully implement our selective acquisition strategy;

• our ability to obtain suitable tenants for our properties;

• our ability to refinance amounts outstanding under our credit facilities and our convertible notes at maturity on terms favorable to us;

• changes in interest rates under our current credit facility and under any additional variable rate debt arrangements that we may enter into in the future;

• our ability to comply with certain debt covenants;

• dependence by us and our tenants on key customers for significant revenues, and the risk of defaults by any such tenants or customers;

• our or our tenants' ability to secure adequate insurance and risk of potential uninsured losses, including from natural disasters;

• the continued availability of third party pipelines, railroads or other facilities interconnected with certain of our infrastructure assets;

• risks associated with owning, operating or financing properties for which the tenants', mortgagors' or our operations may be impacted by extreme weather patterns and other natural phenomena;

• our ability to sell properties at an attractive price;

• market conditions and related price volatility affecting our debt and equity securities;

• competitive and regulatory pressures on the revenues of our interstate natural gas transmission business;

• changes in federal or state tax rules or regulations that could have adverse tax consequences;

• declines in the market value of our investment securities;

• our ability to maintain internal controls and processes to ensure all transactions are accounted for properly, all relevant disclosures and filings are timely made in accordance with all rules and regulations, and any potential fraud or embezzlement is thwarted or detected;

• changes in federal income tax regulations (and applicable interpretations thereof), or in the composition or performance of our assets, that could impact our ability to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust for federal income tax purposes;

Table of Contents Glossary of Defined Terms

• risks related to potential terrorist attacks, acts of cyber-terrorism, or similar disruptions that could disrupt access to our information technology systems or result in other significant damage to our business and properties, some of which may not be covered by insurance and all of which could adversely impact distributions to our stockholders.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which they are made. While we may update these statements from time to time, we are not required to do so other than pursuant to applicable laws. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results and performance, see Part I, Item 1A., Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 14, 2016.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

March 31, 2016

1.INTRODUCTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Introduction

CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. ("CorEnergy"), was organized as a Maryland corporation and commenced operations on December 8, 2005. The Company's common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CORR.” As used in this report, the terms "we", "us", "our" and the "Company" refer to CorEnergy and its subsidiaries.

We are primarily focused on acquiring and financing midstream and downstream real estate assets within the U.S. energy infrastructure sector and concurrently entering into long-term triple-net participating leases with energy companies. We also may provide other types of capital, including loans secured by energy infrastructure assets. Targeted assets include pipelines, storage tanks, transmission lines and gathering systems, among others. These sale-leaseback or real property mortgage transactions provide the energy company with a source of capital that is an alternative to sources such as corporate borrowing, bond offerings, or equity offerings. Many of our leases contain participation features in the financial performance or value of the underlying infrastructure real property asset. The triple-net lease structure requires that the tenant pay all operating expenses of the business conducted by the tenant, including real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, and expenses of maintaining the asset in good working order. We consider our investments in these energy infrastructure assets to be a single business segment and report them accordingly in our financial statements.

Taxable REIT subsidiaries hold our securities portfolio, operating businesses and certain financing notes receivable as follows:

• Corridor Public Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Corridor Private Holdings, Inc, hold our securities portfolio.

• Mowood Corridor, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Mowood, LLC, which is the holding company for one of our operating companies, Omega Pipeline Company, LLC.

• Corridor MoGas, Inc. holds two other operating companies, MoGas Pipeline, LLC ("MoGas") and United Property Systems, LLC.

• CorEnergy BBWS, Inc., Corridor Private and Corridor Leeds Path West, Inc. hold financing notes receivable.

Basis of Presentation and Use of Estimates

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our wholly owned subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"), as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), and with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the Company's financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. There were no adjustments that, in the opinion of management, were not of a normal and recurring nature. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation, and our net earnings are reduced by the portion of net earnings attributable to non-controlling interests.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2016, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. These consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis of the Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K, for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2016.

The financial statements included in this report are based on the selection and application of critical accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management's most difficult, complex or subjective judgments. Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this report, further details information related to our significant accounting policies.

2.SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

A. Use of Estimates – The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, recognition of distribution income and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

B. Earnings Per Share – Basic earnings per share ("EPS") is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is computed using the weighted average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period except for periods of net loss for which no common share equivalents are included because their effect would be anti-dilutive. Dilutive common equivalent shares consist of shares issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes calculated using the if-converted method.

C. Investment Securities – The Company’s investments in securities are classified as other equity securities and represent interests in private companies which the Company has elected to report at fair value under the fair value option.

These investments generally are subject to restrictions on resale, have no established trading market and are valued on a quarterly basis. Because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the fair values of such investments, which are determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, may differ materially from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for the investments.

The Company determines fair value to be the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company has determined the principal market, or the market in which the Company exits its private portfolio investments with the greatest volume and level of activity, to be the private secondary market. Typically, private companies are bought and sold based on multiples of EBITDA, cash flows, net income, revenues, or in limited cases, book value.

For private company investments, value is often realized through a liquidity event. Therefore, the value of the Company as a whole (enterprise value) at the reporting date often provides the best evidence of the value of the investment and is the initial step for valuing the Company’s privately issued securities. For any one company, enterprise value may best be expressed as a range of fair values, from which a single estimate of fair value will be derived. In determining the enterprise value of a portfolio company, an analysis is prepared consisting of traditional valuation methodologies including market and income approaches. The Company considers some or all of the traditional valuation methods based on the individual circumstances of the portfolio company in order to derive its estimate of enterprise value.

The fair value of investments in private portfolio companies is determined based on various factors, including enterprise value, observable market transactions, such as recent offers to purchase a company, recent transactions involving the purchase or sale of the equity securities of the company, or other liquidation events. The determined equity values may be discounted when the Company has a minority position, or is subject to restrictions on resale, has specific concerns about the receptivity of the capital markets to a specific company at a certain time, or other comparable factors exist.

The Company undertakes a multi-step valuation process each quarter in connection with determining the fair value of private investments. We have retained an independent valuation firm to provide third party valuation consulting services based on procedures that the Company has identified and may ask them to perform from time to time on all or a selection of private investments as determined by the Company. The multi-step valuation process is specific to the level of assurance that the Company requests from the independent valuation firm. For positive assurance, the process is as follows:

• The independent valuation firm prepares the valuations and the supporting analysis.

• The valuation report is reviewed and approved by senior management.

• The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors reviews the supporting analysis and accepts the valuations.

D. Financing Notes Receivable - Financing notes receivable are presented at face value plus accrued interest receivable and deferred loan origination costs and net of related direct loan origination income. Each quarter the Company reviews its financing notes receivable to determine if the balances are realizable based on factors affecting the collectability of those balances. Factors may include credit quality, timeliness of required periodic payments, past due status, and management discussions with obligors. The Company evaluates the collectability of both interest and principal of each of its loans to determine if an allowance is needed. An allowance will be recorded when based on current information and events, the Company determines it is probable that it will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. If the Company does determine an allowance is necessary, the amount deemed uncollectable is expensed in the period of determination. An insignificant delay or shortfall in the

15

Table of Contents Glossary of Defined Terms

amount of payments does not necessarily result in the recording of an allowance. Generally, when interest and/or principal payments on a loan become past due, or if we otherwise do not expect the borrower to be able to service its debt and other obligations, we will place the loan on non-accrual status and will generally cease recognizing financing revenue on that loan until all principal and interest have been brought current. Interest income recognition is resumed if and when the previously reserved-for financing notes become contractually current and performance has been demonstrated. Payments received subsequent to the recording of an allowance will be recorded as a reduction to principal. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company recorded $4.6 million and $0, respectively, in provision for loan losses. The Company's financing notes receivable are discussed more fully in Note 5.

E. Revenue Recognition – Specific recognition policies for the Company’s revenue items are as follows:

• Lease revenue – Base rent related to the Company’s leased property is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease when collectability is reasonably assured. Contingent rent is recognized when it is earned, based on the achievement of specified performance criteria. Rental payments received in advance are classified as unearned revenue and included as a liability within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Unearned revenue is amortized ratably over the lease period as revenue recognition criteria are met. Rental payments received in arrears are accrued and classified as Lease Receivable and included in assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

• Transportation and distribution revenue – This represents revenue recognized related to natural gas transportation, distribution and supply. Transportation revenues are recognized on firm contracted capacity over the contract period regardless of whether the contracted capacity is used. For interruptible or volumetric based transportation, revenue is recognized when physical deliveries of natural gas are made at the delivery point agreed upon by both parties. Distribution revenue is recognized based on agreed upon contractual terms over each annual period during the terms of the contract. Beginning February 1, 2016, under a new contract with the Department of Defense ("DOD"), gas sales and cost of (gas) sales are presented on a net basis.

Omega is also paid fees for the operation and maintenance of its natural gas distribution system, including any necessary expansion of the distribution system. Omega is responsible for the coordination, supervision and quality of the expansions while actual construction is generally performed by third party contractors. Revenues from expansion efforts are recognized using either a completed contract, percentage of completion or cost-plus method based on the level and volume of estimates utilized, as well as the certainty or uncertainty of our ability to collect those revenues.

• Sales revenue - Revenues related to natural gas and propane are recognized upon delivery of natural gas and propane. Omega, acting as a principal, provides natural gas and propane supply for its customers. Beginning February 1, 2016, under a new contract with the Department of Defense ("DOD"), Omega is no longer the primary obligor of product sales and as such net presentation has been determined to be appropriate, therefore gas sales and cost of (gas) sales are presented on a net basis. Prior to the new contract, Sales revenue represented amounts earned by Omega for gas and propane product sales to customers and the costs of the gas and propane were presented as cost of sales.

• Financing revenue – Our financing notes receivable are considered a core product offering and therefore the related income is presented as a component of operating income. For increasing rate loans, base interest income is recorded ratably over the life of the loan, using the effective interest rate. The net amount of deferred loan origination income and costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the loan and reported as an adjustment to yield in financing revenue. Participating financing revenues are recorded when specific performance criteria have been met.

F. Transportation and distribution expense –Included here, for both MoGas and Omega, are the costs of operating and maintaining the natural gas distribution system, including any necessary expansion of the distribution system. These costs are incurred both internally and externally. The internal costs relate to system control, pipeline operations, maintenance, insurance and taxes. Other internal costs include payroll for employees associated with gas control, field employees, the office manager and the vice president of operations and finance. The external costs consist of professional services such as audit and accounting, legal and regulatory and engineering.

Historically, Omega's amounts paid for gas and propane delivered to customers were presented as cost of sales. Beginning February 1, 2016, under a new contract with the Department of Defense, amounts paid by Omega for gas and propane are netted against sales and are presented in the transportation and distribution revenue line. See paragraph (E) above.

G. Debt Issuance Costs – Costs incurred for the issuance of new debt are capitalized and reported as a direct deduction to the carrying value of the related debt except for capitalized costs related to our revolving line of credit which are presented as an asset within Deferred costs, net of accumulated amortization. Amortization of these costs is reported as interest expense over the debt term. See Note 12 for further discussion.

16

Table of Contents Glossary of Defined Terms

H. Other Income Recognition –Specific policies for the Company’s other income items are as follows:

• Net distributions and dividend income from investments – Distributions and dividends from investments are recorded on their ex-dates and are reflected as other income within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Distributions received from the Company’s investments are generally characterized as ordinary income, capital gains and distributions received from investment securities. The portion characterized as return of capital is paid by our investees from their cash flow from operations. The Company records investment income, capital gains and distributions received from investment securities based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on information available from each company and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from the entities after their tax reporting periods are concluded, as the actual character of these distributions is not known until after the fiscal year end of the Company.

• Net realized and unrealized gain (loss) from investments – Securities transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Realized gains and losses are reported on an identified cost basis. The Company records investment income and return of capital based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. Such estimates are based on information available from the portfolio company and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from the portfolio company after their tax reporting periods are concluded, as the actual character of these distributions are not known until after our fiscal year end.

I. Federal and State Income Taxation – In 2013 we qualified, and in March 2014 elected (effective as of January 1, 2013), to be treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Because certain of our assets may not produce REIT-qualifying income or be treated as interests in real property, those assets are held in wholly-owned Taxable REIT Subsidiaries ("TRSs") in order to limit the potential that such assets and income could prevent us from qualifying as a REIT.

As a REIT, the Company holds and operates certain of our assets through one or more wholly-owned TRSs. Our use of TRSs enables us to continue to engage in certain businesses while complying with REIT qualification requirements and also allows us to retain income generated by these businesses for reinvestment without the requirement of distributing those earnings. In the future, we may elect to reorganize and transfer certain assets or operations from our TRSs to the Company or other subsidiaries, including qualified REIT subsidiaries.

The Company's other equity securities are limited partnerships or limited liability companies which are treated as partnerships for federal and state income tax purposes. As a limited partner, the Company reports its allocable share of taxable income in computing its own taxable income. To the extent held by a TRS, the TRS's tax expense or benefit is included in the Consolidated Statements of Income based on the component of income or gains and losses to which such expense or benefit relates. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized. It is expected that for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and future periods, any deferred tax liability or asset generated will be related entirely to the assets and activities of the Company's TRSs.

If we cease to qualify as a REIT, the Company, as a C corporation, would be obligated to pay federal and state income tax on its taxable income. Currently, the highest regular marginal federal income tax rate for a corporation is 35 percent. The Company may be subject to a 20 percent federal alternative minimum tax on its federal alternative minimum taxable income to the extent that its alternative minimum tax exceeds its regular federal income tax.

J. Recent Accounting Pronouncements – In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers - Deferral of the Effective Date." The amendments in this update defer the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers", for all entities by one year. ASU No. 2014-09 adds to the FASB ASC by requiring entities to recognize revenue in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to customers and provide additional disclosures. Additionally, in March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)". ASU 2016-08 clarifies the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations. As amended, the effective date for public entities is annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods therein. As such, we will be required to adopt the standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Early adoption is not permitted before the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. ASC 606 may be adopted using either the "full retrospective" approach, in which the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or a "modified retrospective" approach. The Company is currently evaluating which transition method to use and the potential future impact, if any, the standard will have on the Company's consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. However, we do not expect its adoption to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements, as a

17

Table of Contents Glossary of Defined Terms

substantial portion of our revenue consists of rental income from leasing arrangements, which is specifically excluded from ASU 2014-09.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 "Interest-Imputation of Interest" to simplify presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in this update require debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Then in June 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15 "Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements" to clarify that ASU No. 2015-03 does not address the presentation or subsequent measurement of debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. As a result, an entity may present debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements as an asset instead of a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt. We adopted the accounting standards update as of January 1, 2016 with retrospective application to our December 31, 2015 Consolidated Balance Sheets. The effect of the adoption was to reclassify $510 thousand of debt issuance costs at December 31, 2015 from intangibles and deferred costs, net of accumulated amortization, to long-term debt.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15 "Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern", that will require management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued on both an interim and annual basis. Management will be required to provide certain footnote disclosures if it concludes that substantial doubt exists or when its plans alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. ASU No. 2014-15 becomes effective for annual periods beginning in 2016 and for interim reporting periods starting in the first quarter of 2017. The Company does not expect the adoption of this amendment to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the Company adopted ASU No. 2015-02 "Consolidation (Topic 810), Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis." Among other changes, the new standard specifically eliminates the presumption in the current voting model that a general partner controls a limited partnership or similar entity unless that presumption can be overcome. Generally, only a single limited partner that is able to exercise substantive kick-out rights will consolidate. While adoption of this standard did not result in any changes to conclusions about consolidated or unconsolidated entities, the Company has determined that Pinedale LP now qualifies as a variable interest entity and therefore requires additional disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 "Leases" which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. ASU No. 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 31, 2018. Early adoption is permitted. The new leases standard requires adoption using a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, and provides for certain practical expedients. Transition will require application of the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. Management is still in the process of evaluating this amendment.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-05 "Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships." This ASU clarifies that a change in the counterparty of a derivative contract (i.e., a novation) in a hedge accounting relationship does not, in and of itself, require de-designation of the hedge accounting relationship. This ASU is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU on its financial statements and disclosures.

3.LEASED PROPERTIES

See Note 4 for further information regarding the Pinedale Lease Agreement (as defined therein)

Non-Controlling Interest Partner

The Prudential Insurance Company of America ("Prudential") funded a portion of the Pinedale LGS acquisition and, as a limited partner, holds 18.95 percent of the economic interest in Pinedale LP. The general partner, Pinedale GP, holds the remaining 81.05 percent of the economic interest.

Debt

In connection with the acquisition of the Pinedale LGS, Pinedale LP borrowed $70 million pursuant to a secured term credit facility. The credit facility was amended on December 31, 2015, to extend its term through March 30, 2016. On March 30, 2016, the Company and Prudential took an assignment of that portion of the remaining $58.5 million principal balance equal to their respective equity interests in Pinedale (of which the Company’s 81.05 percent share was equal to approximately $47.4 million) and extended the maturity date of the credit facility to March 30, 2021. The Company's portion of the debt and interest is eliminated in consolidation and Prudential's portion of the debt is shown as a related-party liability. The credit facility is secured by the Pinedale LGS. See Note 12 for further information regarding the credit facility.

Portland Terminal Facility

The Portland Terminal Facility is a rail and marine facility adjacent to the Willamette River in Portland, Oregon which is triple-net leased to Arc Terminals Holdings LLC ("Arc Terminals"), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Arc Logistics Partners LP ("Arc Logistics"). As of December 31, 2015, we completed the funding of an additional $10 million of terminal-related improvement projects in support of Arc Terminals’ commercial strategy to optimize the Portland Terminal Facility and generate stable cash flows, including: i) upgrading a portion of the existing storage assets; ii) enhancing existing terminal infrastructure; and iii) completing the development, design, engineering and construction of throughput expansion opportunities.

The asset is depreciated for book purposes over an estimated useful life of 30 years. Depreciation for the three months endedMarch 31, 2016 and 2015, was $319 thousand and $407 thousand, respectively.

See Note 4 for further information regarding the Portland Lease Agreement related to the Portland Terminal Facility assets.

Grand Isle Gathering System

Grand Isle Corridor, LP entered into a long-term triple-net lease agreement on June 30, 2015, relating to the use of the GIGS (the “Grand Isle Lease Agreement”) with Energy XXI GIGS Services, LLC (the "EXXI Tenant"). The Grand Isle Lease Agreement has an initial eleven-year term and may be extended for one additional term equal to the lesser of nine years or 75 percent of the expected remaining useful life of the GIGS. The EXXI Tenant’s obligations under the lease agreement are guaranteed by EXXI. During the initial term, the EXXI Tenant will make minimum monthly rental payments that are initially $2.6 million in year one, increase to a maximum of $4.2 million in year seven and decline to $3.5 million in year eleven. In addition, the EXXI Tenant will pay variable rent payments based on a 10 percent participation above a pre-defined threshold, which will be calculated monthly

19

Table of Contents Glossary of Defined Terms

on the volumes of EXXI oil that flow through the GIGS, multiplied by the average daily closing price of crude oil for the applicable calendar month. Variable rent will be capped at 39 percent of the total rent for each month. Tangible assets, excluding land, are depreciated over the 30-year depreciable life of the leased property with associated depreciation expense of approximately $8.6 million annually beginning July 1, 2015.

As of March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, approximately $313 thousand and $321 thousand, respectively, of net deferred lease costs related to the GIGS are included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred costs are amortized over the 11-year life of the Grand Isle Lease Agreement. For the three months endedMarch 31, 2016 and 2015, $8 thousand and $0, respectively, was included in amortization expense within the Consolidated Statement of Income.

In view of the fact that EXXI leases a substantial portion of the Company's net leased property, which is a significant source of revenues and operating income, its financial condition and ability and willingness to satisfy its obligations under its lease with the Company are expected to have a considerable impact on the Company's results of operations going forward. EXXI and substantially all of its direct and indirectly wholly-owned subsidiaries, but not including the EXXI Tenant, (the “EXXI Debtor Group”) filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on April 14, 2016. See Note 16, Subsequent Events, for further information regarding EXXI's bankruptcy filing.

EXXI is currently subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and is required to file with the SEC annual reports containing audited financial statements and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial statements. The audited financial statements and unaudited financial statements of EXXI can be found on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov (OTC Pink: EXXIQ). The Company makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of the audited and unaudited financial statements of EXXI, but has no reason to doubt the accuracy or completeness of such information. In addition, EXXI has no duty, contractual or otherwise, to advise the Company of any events that might have occurred subsequent to the date of such financial statements which could affect the significance or accuracy of such information.

Pinedale LGS

Pinedale LP entered into a long-term triple-net lease agreement on December 20, 2012, relating to the use of the Pinedale LGS (the “Pinedale Lease Agreement”) with Ultra Wyoming LGS, LLC (“Ultra Wyoming”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Ultra Petroleum. The Pinedale Lease Agreement has a fifteen-year initial term and may be extended for additional five-year terms at the sole discretion of Ultra Wyoming. Ultra Wyoming utilizes the Pinedale LGS to gather and transport a commingled stream of oil, natural gas and water, then further utilizes the Pinedale LGS to separate this stream into its separate components. Ultra Wyoming's obligations under the Pinedale Lease Agreement are guaranteed by Ultra Petroleum and Ultra Petroleum's operating subsidiary, Ultra Resources, Inc. (“Ultra Resources”), pursuant to the terms of a related parent guaranty. Annual rent for the initial term under the Pinedale Lease Agreement is a minimum of $20 million (as adjusted annually for changes based on the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”), subject to annual maximum adjustments of 2 percent). Additionally, the Pinedale Lease Agreement has a variable rent component based on the volume of liquid hydrocarbons and water that flowed through the Pinedale LGS in a prior month, subject to Pinedale LP not being in default under the Pinedale Lease Agreement. For 2016, the quarterly rent increased by $10 thousand to $5.2 million based on the CPI adjustment as specified in the lease terms. Total annual rent may not exceed $27.5 million during the initial fifteen-year term.

As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, approximately $719 thousand and $734 thousand, respectively, of net deferred lease costs are included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred costs are amortized over the 15-year life of the Pinedale Lease Agreement. For each of the three months endedMarch 31, 2016 and 2015, $15 thousand is included in amortization expense within the Consolidated Statements of Income.

In view of the fact that Ultra Petroleum leases a substantial portion of the Company's net leased property, which is a significant source of revenues and operating income, its financial condition and ability and willingness to satisfy its obligations under its lease with the Company are expected to have a considerable impact on the Company's results of operation going forward. On April 29, 2016, UPL filed a voluntary petition to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. See Note 16, Subsequent Events, for further information regarding UPL's bankruptcy filing.

Ultra Petroleum is currently subject to the reporting requirements Exchange Act and is required to file with the SEC annual reports containing audited financial statements and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial statements. The audited financial statements and unaudited financial statements of Ultra Petroleum can be found on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov (OTC Pink: UPLMQ). The Company makes no representation as to the accuracy or completeness of the audited and unaudited financial statements of Ultra Petroleum, but has no reason to doubt the accuracy or completeness of such information. In addition, Ultra Petroleum has no duty, contractual or otherwise, to advise the Company of any events that might have occurred subsequent to the date of such financial statements which could affect the significance or accuracy of such information.

Portland Terminal Facility

LCP Oregon entered into the Portland Lease Agreement on January 21, 2014. Arc Logistics has guaranteed the obligations of Arc Terminals under the Portland Lease Agreement. The Portland Lease Agreement grants Arc Terminals substantially all authority to operate the Portland Terminal Facility. During the initial fifteen-year term, Arc Terminals will make base monthly rental payments as well as variable rent payments based on the volume of liquid hydrocarbons that flowed through the Portland Terminal Facility in the prior month in excess of a designated threshold of 12,500 barrels per day of oil equivalent (unaudited). Variable rent is capped at 30 percent of total rent each month, which would be the equivalent of the Portland Terminal Facility’s expected throughput capacity.

With the 2015 completion of $10.0 million in construction projects, annual base rent beginning in 2016, is approximately $6.2 million. Base rent for the three months endedMarch 31, 2016 and 2015, was $1.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Arc Logistics is currently subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and is required to file with the SEC annual reports containing audited financial statements and quarterly reports containing unaudited financial statements.

5.FINANCING NOTES RECEIVABLE

Black Bison Financing Notes Receivable

On March 13, 2014, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Corridor Bison, entered into a Loan Agreement with Black Bison Water Services, LLC ("Black Bison WS"). Black Bison WS's initial loan draw in the amount of $4.3 million was used to acquire real property in Wyoming and to pay loan transaction expenses. Corridor Bison agreed to loan Black Bison WS up to $11.5 million (the "Black Bison WS Loan") to finance the acquisition and development of real property to provide water sourcing, water disposal, or water treating and recycling services for the oil and natural gas industry.

On July 23, 2014, the Company increased its secured financing to Black Bison WS from $11.5 million to $15.3 million. The Company executed an amendment to the Black Bison WS Loan Agreement to increase the loan to $12 million, and entered into an additional loan for $3.3 million from a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Company, CorEnergy BBWS, on substantially the same terms (the "TRS Loan" and, together with the Black Bison WS Loan, as amended, the "Black Bison Loans"). The purpose of the increase in the secured financing was to fund the acquisition and development of real property and related equipment to provide water sourcing, water disposal, or water treating and recycling services for the oil and natural gas industry. There were no other material changes to the terms of the loan agreement. In connection with the Amendment and the TRS Loan, the Company fully funded the remainder of the $15.3 million capacity of the combined Black Bison Loans.

Interest initially accrued on the outstanding principal amount of both Black Bison Loans at an annual base rate of 12 percent, which base rate was to increase by 2 percent of the current base rate per year. In addition, starting in April 2015 and continuing for each month thereafter, the outstanding principal of the Black Bison Loans was set to bear variable interest calculated as a function of the increase in volume of water treated by Black Bison WS during the particular month. The base interest plus variable interest, was payable monthly, and capped at 19 percent per annum. The Black Bison Loans were set to mature on March 31, 2024,

21

Table of Contents Glossary of Defined Terms

and were set to amortize by quarterly payments beginning on March 31, 2015. The Loans were secured by the real property and equipment held by Black Bison WS and the outstanding equity in Black Bison WS and its affiliates. The Black Bison Loans were also guarantied by all affiliates of Black Bison WS and further secured by all assets of those guarantors.

Due to reduced drilling activity in the Black Bison area of operations, Black Bison WS requested, and the Company granted, certain temporary forbearance waivers in June 2015 and August 2015 that had the effect of excusing the borrower from full performance under the terms of the Black Bison Loans while such waivers were in effect. None of the granted forbearance agreements were deemed to be concessions. As a result of the continued inability of the borrower to perform under the terms of these loans, even as temporarily modified by the waivers, effective December 31, 2015 the Company recorded a provision for loan loss with respect to the Black Bison Loans of $13.8 million, which included $14 thousand in deferred origination income, net of deferred origination costs, and $355 thousand of accrued interest.

Financing Revenue as presented in the Q1 2016 financial statements does not reflect any financing revenue from the notes for the Black Bison Loans. These notes were considered by the Company to be on non-accrual status and have been reflected as such in the financial statements. Effective February 29, 2016, the Company foreclosed on 100 percent of the equity of BB Intermediate, the holding company of Black Bison Water Services, LLC, the borrower of the Black Bison financing notes, as well as all of the other collateral securing the Black Bison Loans as described above. The foreclosure was accepted in satisfaction of outstanding loan balance of $2.0 million. As of March 31, 2016, the net note receivable from Black Bison WS is valued at $0. The assets and liabilities acquired as a result of the foreclosure are presented in appropriate categories within the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Four Wood Financing Note Receivable

On December 31, 2014, our wholly-owned subsidiary, Four Wood Corridor, LLC (“Four Wood Corridor”), entered into a Loan Agreement with SWD Enterprises, LLC (“SWD Enterprises”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Four Wood Energy, pursuant to which Four Wood Corridor made a loan to SWD Enterprises for $4.0 million (the "REIT Loan"). Concurrently, our TRS, Corridor Private entered into a TRS Loan Agreement with SWD Enterprises, pursuant to which Corridor Private made a loan to SWD Enterprises for $1.0 million (the "TRS Loan"). The proceeds of the REIT Loan and the TRS Loan were used by SWD Enterprises and its affiliates to finance the acquisition of real and personal property that provides saltwater disposal services for the oil and natural gas industry, and to pay related expenses.

For the REIT Loan from Four Wood Corridor, interest initially accrued on the outstanding principal at an annual base rate of 12 percent. For the TRS Loan from Corridor Private, interest initially accrued on the outstanding principal at an annual base rate of 13 percent. The base rates of both loans were to increase by 2 percent of the current base rate per year. The Loans are secured by the real property and equipment held by SWD Enterprises and the outstanding equity in SWD Enterprises and its affiliates. The Loans are also guaranteed by all affiliates of SWD Enterprises.

As a result of the decreased economic activity by SWD Enterprises, the Company has recorded a provision for loan loss with respect to the SWD Enterprise loans. The first quarter 2016 income statement reflects a Provision for Loan Loss of $3.5 million, which includes $71 thousand of deferred origination income and $98 thousand of interest accrued under the original loan agreements. The balance of the note, net of the reserve for loan loss, represents the amount expected to be received as of March 31, 2016. Our note with SWD Enterprises is secured by physical assets owned by SWD Enterprises. We have valued the enterprise value of SWD Enterprises, and thus the value of the collateral supporting the Four Wood Note, at $1.5 million as of March 31, 2016.

6.VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES

The Company examines specific criteria and uses its judgment when determining if the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and is therefore required to consolidate the investments. Factors considered in determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary include risk-and-reward sharing, experience and financial condition of the other partner(s), voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions, representation on a VIE's executive committee or Board of Directors, whether or not the Company has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance, existence of unilateral kick-out rights or voting rights, and the level of economic disproportionality between the Company and the other partner(s).

Consolidated VIEs

The Company adopted ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. This standard amends certain guidance applicable to the consolidation of various legal entities, including variable interest entities (“VIE”). Among the changes, the new standard specifically eliminates the presumption in the current voting model that a general partner controls a limited partnership or similar entity unless that presumption can be overcome. Generally, only a single limited partner that is able to exercise substantive

22

Table of Contents Glossary of Defined Terms

kick-out rights will consolidate. While adoption of this standard did not result in any changes to conclusions about consolidated or unconsolidated entities, the Company has determined that Pinedale LP now qualifies as a variable interest entity as of March 31, 2016.

7.INCOME TAXES

Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effect of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial reporting and tax purposes. Components of the Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, are as follows:

Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
	March 31, 2016			December 31, 2015
Deferred Tax Assets:
Net operating loss carryforwards	$	998,724		$	543,116
Net unrealized loss on investment securities	867,555			251,539
Loan Loss Provision	605,107			1,257,436
Other loss carryforwards	2,215,428			1,833,240
Sub-total	$	4,686,814		$	3,885,331
Deferred Tax Liabilities:
Basis reduction of investment in partnerships	$	(2,094,642	)	$	(2,159,058	)
Cost recovery of leased and fixed assets	(407,801		)	(119,297		)
Sub-total	(2,502,443		)	(2,278,355		)
Total net deferred tax asset (liability)	$	2,184,371		$	1,606,976

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, the total deferred tax asset/(liability) presented above relates to the Company's TRSs. The Company recognizes the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only when the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities based on the technical merits of the tax position. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions as part of tax expense. Tax years subsequent to the year ending November 30, 2007, remain open to examination by federal and state tax authorities.

Total income tax expense/(benefit) differs from the amount computed by applying the federal statutory income tax rate of 35 percent for the three months endedMarch 31, 2016 and 2015, to income or loss from operations and other income and expense for the years presented, as follows:

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)
	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015
Application of statutory income tax rate	$	747,599		$	1,553,434
State income taxes, net of federal tax (benefit)	(83,260		)	37,051
Federal Tax Attributable to Income of Real Estate Investment Trust	(1,919,465		)	(1,270,120		)
Total income tax expense (benefit)	$	(1,255,126	)	$	320,365

Total income taxes are computed by applying the federal statutory rate of 35 percent plus a blended state income tax rate. Corridor Public Inc. and Corridor Private Inc. had a blended state rate of approximately 2.82 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 3.92 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2015. CorEnergy BBWS Inc. does not record a provision for state income taxes because it operates only in Wyoming, which does not have state income tax. Because Mowood Corridor Inc. and Corridor MoGas Inc. primarily only operate in the state of Missouri, a blended state income tax rate of 5 percent was used for the operations of both TRSs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, all of the income tax benefit presented above relates to the assets and activities held in the Company's TRSs. The components of income tax expense/ (benefit) include the following for the periods presented:

Total income tax expense (benefit), net	$	(1,255,126	)	$	320,365

As of December 31, 2015 the TRSs incurred an aggregate net operating loss of $1.4 million. The net operating loss may be carried forward for 20 years. If not utilized, this net operating loss will expire as follows: $90 thousand, $804 thousand and $478 thousand in the years ending December 31, 2033, 2034, and 2035 respectively. The amount of deferred tax asset for net operating losses as of March 31, 2016, includes amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes and securities with unrealized appreciation and depreciation, were as follows:

The amounts of depreciation of property and equipment recognized for the three months endedMarch 31, 2016 and 2015, were $835 thousand and $832 thousand, respectively.

Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale

Effective February 29, 2016, the Company foreclosed on 100 percent of the equity of BB Intermediate, the holding company of Black Bison Water Services, LLC, the borrower of the Black Bison financing notes. The Company expects to dispose of these assets within the next year. As a result of the foreclosure, the following assets are included in our Consolidated Balance Sheet, less estimated costs to sell, as Assets Held for Sale at March 31, 2016:

Assets Held for Sale
	March 31, 2016
Disposal wells and related equipment	$	1,839,007

There were no assets or liabilities held for sale at December 31, 2015. See Note 5, Financing Notes Receivable, for further information regarding the Black Bison financing notes.

9.CONCENTRATIONS

Mowood, Omega

Omega had a 10-year agreement (the "DOD Agreement") with the Department of Defense (“DOD”) to provide natural gas and gas distribution services to Fort Leonard Wood. The DOD Agreement as previously extended, was set to expire January 31, 2016. On January 28, 2016, the DOD awarded Omega a new 10-year agreement to continue providing natural gas and gas distribution services through March 31, 2026.

In 2016, Omega's revenue and gas cost of sales is presented in the Transportation and distribution revenue line item on the income statement. Also in 2016, distribution and maintenance costs are presented in the Transportation and distribution expense line item on the income statement. For the three months ended March 31, 2015, Omega's revenue is presented in the Sales revenue line item on the income statement. Omega's total cost of sales, including gas, distribution, and maintenance projects are presented in the Cost of sales line item in the income statement for three months ended March 31, 2015.

Revenue related to the DOD contract accounted for 91 percent of Omega's revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016. Revenue related to the DOD contract accounted for 91 percent of Sales revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Omega performs management and operational services related to the operation and expansion of the natural gas distribution system used by the DOD. The amount due from the DOD accounts for 9 percent and 26 percent of the consolidated accounts and other receivables balances as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Omega’s contracts for its supply of natural gas are concentrated with a single supplier. If the business relationship with Omega's current supplier were to terminate, Omega could purchase natural gas from a different supplier of the commodity. Beginning in February 2016, Omega's sales and cost of sales related to natural gas and propane are being presented on a net basis. The effect of this change in the current year significantly reduces the impact of the seasonality generally experienced by Omega in gas sales. For prior years, Omega's overall sales and operating income were generally higher in the first and fourth quarters and lower during the second and third quarters.

10.MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

The Company pays Corridor as the Company's Manager pursuant to a Management Agreement described in detail in Note 11, Management Agreement, in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, as previously filed with the SEC. In light of the provisions for loan losses recognized by the Company on certain of its energy infrastructure financing investments (collectively, the "Underperforming Loans") during 2015 and the first quarter of 2016, the Manager voluntarily recommended, and the Company agreed, that effective on and after the Company's March 31, 2016 balance sheet date, solely for the purpose of computing the value of the Company’s Managed Assets in calculating the quarterly management fee under the terms of the Management Agreement, that portion of the Management Fee attributable to the Company’s investment in the Underperforming Loans shall be based on the estimated net realizable value of such loans, which shall not exceed the amount invested in the Underperforming Loans as of the end of the quarter for which the Management Fee is to be calculated. This agreement superseded a prior agreement between the Company and the Manager, which was effective as of September 30, 2015, concerning valuation of the Black Bison Loans for purposes of calculating the Management Fee.

Fees incurred under the Management Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $1.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and are reported in the General and Administrative line item on the income statement.

The Company pays Corridor, as the Company's Administrator pursuant to an Administrative Agreement. Fees incurred under the Administrative Agreement for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were $67 thousand and $46 thousand, respectively, and are reported in the General and Administrative line item on the income statement.

11.FAIR VALUE

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following tables provide the fair value measurements of applicable Company assets and liabilities by level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015. These assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis.

On March 30, 2016, the Company terminated one of the $26.3 million cash flow hedges concurrent with the assignment of the $70 million secured term credit facility. The remaining cash flow hedge was de-designated as of March 30, 2016, and continues to be valued using a consistent methodology and therefore is classified as a Level 2 investment. Subsequent to de-designation, changes in the fair value will be recognized in earnings in the period in which the changes occur.

The net assets and liabilities received as a result of foreclosing on the the equity of Black Bison on February 29, 2016, were determined to have a fair value of $2.0 million, which approximated the fair value of the collateral securing the notes as of December 31, 2015. A portion of the assets and liabilities acquired have been classified as held for sale and have been marked to a fair value of $1.8 million and $439 thousand, respectively as of March 31, 2016. The foreclosure and held-for-sale date fair values of the assets and liabilities, were determined using Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 inputs. The company uses data on its existing portfolio of investments as well as similar market data from third party sources, when available, in determining these Level 3 inputs.

The changes for all Level 3 securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, are as follows:

In connection with the October 2014 sale of the Company's shares in VantaCore, a portion of the proceeds were placed in escrow and a receivable was recorded. Changes in the fair value of the escrow receivable are recorded as a net realized or unrealized gain or loss on other equity securities included within the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately $43 thousand and $0, was included as an unrealized gain, respectively.

Valuation Techniques and Unobservable Inputs

The Company’s other equity securities, which represent securities issued by private companies, are classified as Level 3 assets. Significant judgment is required in selecting the assumptions used to determine the fair values of these investments. See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies, for additional discussion.

For the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company’s Warrant Investment was valued using a binomial option pricing model. The key assumptions used in the binomial model were the fair value of equity of the underlying business; the Warrant's strike price; the expected volatility of equity; the time to the Warrant's expiry; the risk-free rate, and the expected dividend yields. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of the Warrant Investment, which did not have a readily available market, the assumptions used the binomial model to value the Company’s Warrant Investment were based on Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. The Company’s Warrant Investment was valued at $0 at March 31, 2016 due to the foreclosure on Black Bison, discussed in further detail in Note 5.

As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company’s investment in Lightfoot Capital Partners, LP and Lightfoot Capital Partners GP LLC, collectively, ("Lightfoot") is its only remaining significant private company investment. Lightfoot in turn owns a combination of public and private investments. Therefore, Lightfoot was valued using a combination of the following valuation techniques: (i) public share price of private companies' investments discounted for a lack of marketability, with the discount estimated at 12.5 percent to 13.9 percent and 16.6 percent to 21.3 percent as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and (ii) discounted cash flow analysis using an estimated discount rate of 15.0 percent to 17.0 percent and 12.0 percent to 14.0 percent as of March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Company’s investment may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of the Company’s investment may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investment and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize.

As of both March 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company held a 6.6 percent and 1.5 percent equity interest in Lightfoot LP and Lightfoot GP, respectively. Lightfoot’s assets include an ownership interest in Gulf LNG, a 1.5 billion cubic feet per day (“bcf/d”) receiving, storage, and regasification terminal in Pascagoula, Mississippi, and common units and subordinated units representing an approximately 40 percent aggregate limited partner interest, and a noneconomic general partner interest, in Arc Logistics Partners LP (NYSE: ARCX). We hold observation rights on Lightfoot's Board of Directors.

The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company for estimating fair value for financial instruments not recorded at fair value, but fair value is included for disclosure purposes only, as required under disclosure guidance related to the fair value of financial instruments.

Cash and Cash Equivalents — The carrying value of cash, amounts due from banks, federal funds sold and securities purchased under resale agreements approximates fair value.

Escrow Receivable — The escrow receivable due to the Company as of March 31, 2016, which relates to the sale of VantaCore, is to be released upon satisfaction of certain post-closing obligations and the expiration of certain time periods (50 percent was released 12 months after the October 1, 2014 closing date (i.e. October 1, 2015), and the other 50 percent to be released 18 months after close (i.e. April 1, 2016)). At December 31, 2015, the fair value of the escrow receivable was reflected net of a discount for the potential that the full amount due to the Company would not be realized. At March 31, 2016, the fair value of the escrow receivable was based on the actual cash received in settlement of the escrow on April 1, 2016. See Note 16. Subsequent Events for additional information regarding the remaining funds held in escrow at March 31, 2016.

Financing Notes Receivable — The financing notes receivable are valued on a non-recurring basis. The financing notes receivable are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Financing Notes with carrying values that are not expected to be recovered through future cash flows are written-down to their estimated net realizable value.

Long-term Debt — The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt is calculated, for disclosure purposes, by discounting future cash flows by a rate equal to the expected market rate for an equivalent transaction.

Line of Credit — The carrying value of the line of credit approximates the fair value due to its short-term nature.

12.CREDIT FACILITIES

Credit Facilities of the REIT

In conjunction with the MoGas Transaction on November 24, 2014, the Company increased their credit facility to $90 million at the REIT level, and $3.0 million at the subsidiary entity level (the "Regions Revolver"). For the first six months, subsequent to the increase, the facility bore interest on the outstanding balance at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.50 percent. Beginning on May 24, 2015 and through July 7, 2015, the interest rate was determined by a pricing grid where the applicable interest rate was LIBOR plus

28

Table of Contents Glossary of Defined Terms

2.75 percent to 3.50 percent, depending on the Company's leverage ratio at such time. On June 29, 2015, the Company borrowed against the Regions Revolver in the amount of $42 million in conjunction with the GIGS transaction.

On July 8, 2015, the Company amended and upsized its existing $93 million credit facility with Regions Bank (as lender and administrative agent for the other participating lenders) to provide borrowing commitments of $153 million, consisting of (i) an increase in the Regions Revolver at the CorEnergy parent entity level to $105 million, (ii) a $45 million term loan at the CorEnergy parent entity level (the "Regions Term Loan") and (iii) a $3 million revolving credit facility at the subsidiary entity level (the "MoGas Revolver" as detailed below and, collectively with the upsized Regions Revolver and the Regions Term Loan, the "Regions Credit Facility"). Upon closing the Regions Credit Facility, CorEnergy drew $45 million on the Regions Term Loan to pay off the balance on the Regions Revolver that had been used in funding the GIGS acquisition in June 2015. On March 30, 2016 the Company drew $44 million on the Regions Revolver in conjunction with the refinancing of the Pinedale Facility. See below for further details. The Company now has approximately $54.2 million of available borrowing capacity on the Regions Revolver.

The Regions Credit Facility has a maturity date of December 15, 2019 for both the Regions Revolver and the Regions Term Loan. Borrowings under the Regions Credit Facility will generally bear interest on the outstanding principal amount using a LIBOR pricing grid that is expected to equal a LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin of 2.75 percent - 3.75 percent (3.19 percent on the revolver and 3.38 percent on the term loan as of March 31, 2016), based on the Company's senior secured recourse leverage ratio. Total availability is subject to a borrowing base. The Term Note requires quarterly principal payments of $900 thousand which began on September 30, 2015. The Regions Credit Facility contains, among other restrictions, certain financial covenants including the maintenance of certain financial ratios, as well as default and cross-default provisions customary for transactions of this nature (with applicable customary grace periods). Upon the occurrence of an event of default, payment of all amounts outstanding under the Regions Credit Facility shall become immediately due and payable.

The Regions Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the assets owned by the Company and its subsidiaries other than (i) the assets held by Mowood, LLC, Omega Pipeline Company, Pinedale Corridor, LP and Pinedale, GP Inc. (the "Unrestricted

Subs") and (ii) the equity investments in the Unrestricted Subs.

As of March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, approximately $3.1 million and $3.3 million, respectively, in net deferred debt issuance costs related to the Regions Credit Facility are included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, $257 thousand and $190 thousand, respectively, of deferred debt cost amortization is included in interest expense within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Regions Credit Facility.

The remaining contractual principal payments as of March 31, 2016 under our Regions Credit Facilities are as follows:

Year	Total Payments
2016	$	2,700,000
2017	3,600,000

Pinedale Facility

On December 20, 2012, Pinedale LP closed on a $70 million secured term credit facility. Outstanding balances under the original facility generally accrued interest at a variable annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.25 percent. This credit facility was secured by the Pinedale LGS asset. Under the original agreement, Pinedale LP was obligated to pay all accrued interest monthly and was further obligated to make monthly principal payments, which began on March 7, 2014, in the amount of $294 thousand or 0.42 percent of the principal balance as of March 1, 2014.

The credit facility remained in effect until December 31, 2015, with an option to extend through December 31, 2016. Although the Company elected not to extend the facility for an additional one-year period we did amend the facility to extend the maturity date to March 30, 2016. During the extension period, the company made principal payments of $3.2 million and the credit facility bore interest on the outstanding principal amount at LIBOR plus 4.25 percent.

Table of Contents Glossary of Defined Terms

On March 4, 2016, the Company obtained a Consent from its lenders under the Regions Credit Facility, which permitted the Company to utilize the Regions revolving credit facility to refinance the $70 million secured term credit facility. On March 30, 2016, the Company and Prudential ("the Refinancing Lenders"), refinanced the remaining $58.5 million principal balance of the $70 million credit facility (on a pro rata basis equal to their respective equity interests in Pinedale LP, with the Company’s 81.05 percent share being approximately $47.4 million) and executed a series of agreements assigning the credit facility to CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. as Agent for the Refinancing Lenders. The facility was further modified to extend the maturity date to March 30, 2021; to increase the LIBOR Rate to the greater of (i) 1.00 percent and (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate; and to increase the LIBOR Rate Spread to seven percent (7.00 percent) per annum. The Company's portion of the debt and interest is eliminated in consolidation and Prudential's portion of the debt is shown as a related-party liability. The Company also terminated the related $26.3 million derivative contract.

The Company has provided to Prudential a guarantee against certain inappropriate conduct by or on behalf of Pinedale LP or us. The credit agreement contains, among other restrictions, specific financial covenants including the maintenance of certain financial coverage ratios and a minimum net worth requirement. Pinedale LP was in compliance with all covenants under the Pinedale Credit Facility as of March 31, 2016.

Pinedale LP's credit facility with the Refinancing Lenders limits distributions by Pinedale LP to the Company. Distributions by Pinedale LP to the Company are permitted to the extent required for the Company to maintain its REIT qualification, so long as Pinedale LP's obligations under the credit facility have not been accelerated following an Event of Default (as defined in the credit facility). The credit facility also requires that Pinedale LP maintain minimum net worth levels and certain leverage ratios, which along with other provisions of the credit facility limit cash dividends and loans to the Company. At March 31, 2016, the net assets of Pinedale LP were $139.1 million and Pinedale LP was in compliance with all of the financial covenants of the secured term credit facility.

As of March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, approximately $0 thousand and $156 thousand, respectively, in net deferred debt issuance costs are included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. These deferred costs were amortized over the remaining term of the facility extension. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, $156 thousand and $129 thousand, respectively, of deferred debt cost amortization is included in interest expense within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income.

The remaining contractual principal payments to Prudential as of March 31, 2016, under our Pinedale Credit Facility are as follows:

Year	Total Payments
2016	$	501,417
2017	668,556
2018	668,556
2019	668,556

MoGas Revolver

In conjunction with the MoGas Transaction, MoGas and UPS, as co-borrowers, entered into a revolving credit agreement dated November 24, 2014 (the “MoGas Revolver”), with certain lenders, including Regions Bank as agent for such lenders. Pursuant to the MoGas Revolver, the co-borrowers may borrow, prepay and re-borrow loans up to $3.0 million outstanding at any time. The MoGas Revolver is secured by the assets held at MoGas and has a maturity date of November 24, 2018. Interest accrues under the MoGas Revolver at the same rate and pursuant to the same terms as it accrues under the Regions Revolver. As of March 31, 2016, there were no outstanding borrowings against the MoGas Revolver. As of March 31, 2016, the co-borrowers are in compliance with all covenants of the MoGas Revolver.

Mowood/Omega Credit Facility

On October 15, 2014, Mowood and Omega renewed the 2013 Note Payable Agreement by entering into a $1.5 million Revolving Note Payable Agreement ("2014 Note Payable Agreement"), under which interest accrued at the Prime Lending Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, plus 0.5 percent, and was payable monthly, and in full, with accrued interest on the initial termination date of January 31, 2015. Borrowings on the 2014 Note Payable Agreement were secured by Mowood's and Omega's assets. On January 30, 2015, Mowood and Omega modified the 2014 Note Payable Agreement to extend the maturity date to July 31, 2015. On July 31, 2015, the 2014 Note Payable Agreement was allowed to expire and a new $1.5 million revolving line of credit ("Mowood/Omega Revolver") was established with Regions Bank. The new Mowood/Omega Revolver will be used for working capital and general business purposes, is guaranteed and secured by the assets of Omega and has a maturity of July 31, 2016. Interest accrues at LIBOR plus 4 percent and is payable monthly in arrears with no unused fee. There was no outstanding balance at March 31, 2016.

13.CONVERTIBLE DEBT

On June 29, 2015, the Company completed a public offering of $115 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2020 (the "Convertible Notes"). The Convertible Notes mature on June 15, 2020 and bear interest at a rate of 7.0 percent per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2015. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, there is $2.0 million and $0, respectively, of interest expense resulting from the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes were issued with an underwriters' discount of $3.7 million which is being amortized over the life of the Convertible Notes. The amount of discount amortization included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, is $188 thousand and $0, respectively.

As of March 31, 2016 and 2015, approximately $207 thousand and $0, respectively, in net deferred debt issuance costs related to the Convertible Notes are included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 there is $12 thousand and $0, respectively, of deferred debt cost amortization included in interest expense within the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Income. Including the impact of the convertible debt discount and related deferred debt issuance costs, the effective interest rate on the Convertible Notes is approximately 7.7 percent for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to the maturity date. Holders may convert their Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at their option until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes will be 30.3030 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of $33.0 per share of Common Stock. Such conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in certain events as specified in the Indenture.

Upon the occurrence of a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders may require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of the Convertible Notes for cash at a price equal to 100 percent of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be purchased plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable fundamental change repurchase date as prescribed in the Indenture. In addition, in certain circumstances the Company will increase the conversion rate for a holder that converts the Convertible Notes in connection with any of a specified set of corporate events, each of which is deemed to constitute a make whole adjustment event pursuant to the terms of the Indenture.

The Convertible Notes rank equal in right of payment to any other current and future unsecured obligations of the Company and senior in right of payment to any other current and future indebtedness of the Company that is contractually subordinated to the Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes are structurally subordinated to all liabilities (including trade payables) of the Company’s subsidiaries. The Convertible Notes are effectively junior to all of the Company’s existing or future secured debt, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt.

14.STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY

REDEEMABLE PREFERRED STOCK

The Company's authorized preferred stock consists of 10 million shares having a par value of $0.001 per share. On January 27, 2015, the Company sold, in an underwritten public offering, 2,250,000 depositary shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series A Preferred"). Pursuant to this offering, the Company issued 22,500 whole shares of Series A Preferred and received net cash proceeds of approximately $54.2 million. The depositary shares pay an annual dividend of $1.84375 per share, equivalent to 7.375 percent of the $25.00 liquidation preference. The depositary shares may be redeemed on or after January 27, 2020, at the Company’s option, in whole or in part, at the $25.00 liquidation

preference plus all accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of redemption. The depositary shares have no stated maturity, are not subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption and are not convertible into any other securities of the Company except in connection with certain changes of control. Holders of the depositary shares generally have no voting rights, except for limited voting rights if the Company fails to pay dividends for six or more quarters (whether or not consecutive) and in certain other circumstances. The depositary shares representing the Series A Preferred trade on the NYSE under the ticker “CORRPrA." The aggregate par value of the preferred shares at March 31, 2016, is $23. See Note 16, Subsequent Events, for further information regarding the declaration of a dividend on the 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock.

COMMON STOCK

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had 11,951,757 of common shares issued and outstanding. Effective December 1, 2015, the Company completed a one-for-five reverse common stock split. As a result, every five issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company converted into one share of common stock. The par value of each share of common stock and the number of authorized shares remained unchanged. On December 31, 2015, the Company's board of director's authorized a share repurchase program for the Company to buy up to $10.0 million of its common stock. The Company plans to repurchase shares from time to time through open market transactions, including through block purchases, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases are to be determined by senior management, depending on market prices and other conditions. We are not obligated to repurchase any shares of stock under the program and may terminate the program at any time. See Note 16, Subsequent Events, for further information regarding the declaration of a dividend on the common stock.

SHELF REGISTRATION

On February 18, 2016 we had a new shelf registration statement, with an aggregate offering price of up to $600 million, declared effective by the SEC, pursuant to which we may publicly offer additional securities consisting of (i) common stock, (ii) preferred stock, (iii) fractional interests in shares of our preferred stock represented by depositary shares, (iv) senior and/or subordinated debt securities, (v) subscription rights to purchase shares of our common stock, preferred stock (or depositary shares representing a fractional interest therein) and/or debt securities, (vi) warrants representing rights to purchase shares of our common stock, preferred stock (or depositary shares representing a fractional interest therein) and/or debt securities, or (vii) units consisting of a combination of any of the foregoing. We refer to the foregoing collectively as our securities. We may offer our securities in one or more offerings and in one or more classes or series, separately or together.

As of March 31, 2016, we have issued 12,060 shares of common stock under the Company's dividend reinvestment plan pursuant to the February 18, 2016 shelf, reducing availability by approximately $159 thousand to approximately $599.8 million.

15.EARNINGS PER SHARE

Basic earnings per share data is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods. Diluted EPS data is computed based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, including all potentially issuable shares of common stock. Diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2016 excludes the impact to income and the number of shares outstanding from the conversion of the 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes, because such impact would be antidilutive.

16.SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

The Company performed an evaluation of subsequent events through the date of the issuance of these financial statements and determined that no additional items require recognition or disclosure, except for the following:

Common Stock Dividend Declaration

On April 27, 2016, our Board of Directors declared the 2016 first quarter dividend of $0.750 per share for CorEnergy common stock. The dividend is payable on May 31, 2016, to shareholders of record on May 13, 2016.

Preferred Stock Dividend Declaration

On April 27, 2016, our Board of Directors also declared a cash dividend of $0.4609375 per depositary share for the Company’s 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for the quarter ending March 31, 2016. The preferred stock dividend is payable on May 31, 2016 to shareholders of record on May 13, 2016.

Ultra Petroleum

On April 29, 2016 Ultra Petroleum, filed a voluntary petition to reorganize under Chapter 11. The filing includes Ultra Wyoming LGS, LLC, the operator of the Pinedale LGS and tenant of the Pinedale Lease Agreement. The bankruptcy filing of both the guarantor, Ultra Petroleum, and the tenant and circumstances prompting the filing constitute defaults under the terms of the Pinedale Lease Agreement. The bankruptcy filing serves as a stay of the Company's ability to exercise remedies for certain of those defaults. However, Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code requires Ultra Wyoming to comply on a timely basis with many provisions of the Pinedale Lease Agreement, including the payment provisions. The only exception to that requirement is if Ultra Wyoming takes specific action to reject the Pinedale Lease Agreement. Ultra Wyoming has not filed a motion to reject the Pinedale Lease. All scheduled lease payments are current.

EXXI

On April 14, 2016, Energy XXI and substantially all of its directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition to reorganize under Chapter 11, after reaching an agreement with certain creditors to provide support for a restructuring of its debt. The bankruptcy filing of Energy XXI, the guarantor of the Grand Isle Lease Agreement, and its failure to make interest payments to its creditors within the applicable cure period, would have constituted defaults under the terms of the Grand Isle Lease Agreement. However, to facilitate post-filing financing arrangements between the EXXI Debtor Group and its lenders, the Company provided a conditional waiver to certain remedies available to it as a result of these non-monetary defaults. EXXI Tenant, has not filed for bankruptcy. Therefore, its obligations under the Grand Isle Lease Agreement are currently not subject to the proceedings affecting the EXXI Debtor Group. The Company has not compromised any remedies available to it for any default by EXXI Tenant under the Grand Isle Lease Agreement. All scheduled lease payments are current. For additional information, please refer to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 14, 2016.

VantaCore

On April 1, 2016, the Company received its final $1.4 million distribution from escrow, related to the November 2014 sale of Vantacore.

Stock Repurchases

During April 2016, pursuant to the common stock repurchase program, the Company repurchased 23,400 shares of its common stock at an average price of $20.26 per share.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto in this report of Form 10-Q of CorEnergy Infrastructure, Inc. (“the Company”, “CorEnergy”, “we” or “us”). The forward-looking statements included in this discussion and elsewhere in this report of Form 10-Q involve risks and uncertainties, including anticipated financial performance, business prospects, industry trends, shareholder returns, performance of leases by tenants, performance on loans to customers and other matters, which reflect management's best judgment based on factors currently known. See “Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements” which is incorporated herein by reference. Actual results and experience could differ materially from the anticipated results and other expectations expressed in our forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including but not limited to those discussed in Item 1A - “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, filed with the SEC on March 14, 2016.

BUSINESS OBJECTIVE

CorEnergy primarily owns assets in the midstream and downstream U.S. energy sectors that perform utility-like functions, such as pipelines, storage terminals, and transmission and distribution assets. Our objective is to provide stockholders with a stable and growing cash dividend, supported by long-term contracted revenue from operators of our assets, primarily under triple-net participating leases. We believe our leadership team’s energy and utility expertise provides CorEnergy with a competitive advantage to own and acquire U.S. energy infrastructure assets in a tax-efficient, transparent REIT.

We also may provide other types of capital, including loans secured by energy infrastructure assets. The assets we own and seek to acquire include pipelines, storage tanks, transmission lines and gathering systems, among others. The assets are primarily mission-critical, in that utilization of the assets is necessary for the business the operators of those assets seek to conduct and their rental payments are an essential operating expense. We acquire assets that will enhance the stability of our dividend through diversification, while offering the potential for long term distribution growth. These sale-leaseback or real property mortgage transactions provide the energy company with a source of capital that is an alternative to sources such as corporate borrowing, bond offerings, or equity offerings.

State of the Market

The energy markets in 2015 and early 2016 proved highly volatile, with oil and natural gas prices hitting lows not seen in over a decade. In addition, technical considerations such as short selling, redemptions and funds reducing leverage caused share prices to fall across the industry. CorEnergy believes declines in the market price of our common stock in recent periods have been influenced by many of these same considerations, despite the fact that our contracts limit both commodity price and volume risk.

During the first four months of 2016, CorEnergy’s share price increased 31 percent to $21.29. This compares to the Alerian MLP Index (“AMZ”) which was up one percent and the S&P 500 Index (“SPX”) which increased three percent over the same time period. CorEnergy, AMZ and SPX hit low points on February 11 of $10.90, $199.10 and $1,810.10, respectively. The rebound since then was likely influenced by a recovery in the oil markets. WTI crude oil prices declined from $36.76 per barrel on January 4 to a low of $26.05 on February 11 and rebounded to $45.92 per barrel at the end of April. However, similar recoveries did not occur in natural gas sector which began the year at $2.33 per MMBtu, reached a low of $1.61 per MMBtu on March 4 and closed at $2.18 per MMBtu on April 29.

According to court filings, 69 North American oil and gas producers have filed for bankruptcy since the beginning of 2015, 27 of which filed in 2016 (through May 1). The parent companies of two of CorEnergy’s largest tenants, Energy XXI and Ultra Petroleum, have been among those companies declaring bankruptcy. While our tenants continue to be compliant with their leases, we believe this has caused some downward pressure on our share price, as investors are wary of the financial condition of our major counterparties.

Energy companies are finding a number of ways to address capital constraints, including capital raises (frequently in the form of preferred shares), joint ventures and asset sales. We believe that our business offers companies an alternative source of capital and we remain in discussions with companies who do not expect to file bankruptcy, but have largely had the debt and equity markets closed off to them. Our team continues to assess these opportunities for assets which fit our acquisition criteria and will provide a long term benefit to current shareholders.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We believe the Lease Revenue, Security Distributions, Financing Revenue, and Operating Results overview presented below provides investors with information that will assist them in analyzing the operating performance of our leased assets, financing notes receivable, other equity securities and operating entities. As it pertains to other equity securities, the Company believes that net distributions received are indicative of the operating performance of the assets. Accordingly, we have included them in EBITDA, resulting in an adjusted EBITDA metric.

The following Results of Operations analysis includes Lease Revenue and Depreciation Expense related to the PNM Lease Agreement and the EIP leased asset, which was sold on April 1, 2015, for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Following is a comparison of lease revenues, security distributions, financing revenue, and operating results, and expenses, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015:

Lease Revenue, Security Distributions, Financing Revenue, and Operating Results

Our operating performance was derived primarily from leases of real property assets, distributions from our remaining portfolio of equity investments, financing revenue from our loan agreements, and the operating results of our subsidiaries. Total lease revenue, security distributions, financing revenue, and operating results generated by our investments for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was approximately $21.2 million, compared to $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015, with the increase over prior year primarily attributable to the addition of the GIGS lease.

Lease revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016, increased$9.7 million compared to the prior-year period. This increase is primarily due to a $10.2 million increase in lease revenues associated with the acquisition of GIGS in June 2015. In addition, revenues for the Portland Terminal Facility increased $123 thousand versus the prior-year period related to completion of the planned construction projects in November 2015. Increases in lease revenue for the period also included a $10 thousand increase due to annual CPI escalations pursuant to the Pinedale Lease Agreement. These increases were partially offset by a $638 thousand decline in lease revenues due to the termination of the PNM Lease Agreement on April 1, 2015.

Table of Contents Glossary of Defined Terms

Financing revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2016, decreased$498 thousand compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to $487 thousand of revenue earned on the $15.3 million loan agreements with Black Bison Water Services during the prior-year period. The Company stopped accruing such interest when it recognized a related $8.0 million provision for loan loss on these loans as of September 30, 2015. See Note 5, Financing Notes Receivable, for additional information on the Black Bison financing notes.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, MoGas contributed $2.8 million and $2.7 million, respectively, to Net Operations (excluding depreciation and amortization). Transportation revenues totaled approximately $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, while transportation costs, maintenance, and general and administrative expenses were approximately $813 thousand and $992 thousand, respectively.

Cash distributions received from our investments in Lightfoot and money-market funds for the three months ended March 31, 2016, were $260 thousand, an $11 thousand increase versus the prior-year period. The Company anticipates 2016 cash distributions from our equity securities to be approximately $1.0 million.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, our subsidiary, Omega, contributed $921 thousand and $887 thousand, respectively, to Net Operations (excluding depreciation and amortization) from its natural gas operations. Omega's contribution is derived by netting distribution revenue, which is presented after deductions for the associated natural gas and propane costs, and distribution expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization) for the respective periods.

General and Administrative

Total general and administrative expenses from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016, were $3.3 million. The most significant components of the variance from the prior-year periods are outlined in the following table and explained below:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2016		March 31, 2015
Management fees	$	1,838,166	$	1,171,974
Acquisition and professional fees	887,021		1,241,955
Other expenses	564,665		154,590
Total	$	3,289,852	$	2,568,519

Management fees for the three months ended March 31, 2016, were $1.8 million. Management fees are directly proportional to the asset base under management. As such, the increase versus the prior-year period is directly related to the acquisition of GIGS in June 2015 . These increases over prior year were partially offset by certain reductions in assets under management, such as the sale of EIP in April 2015, the provision for loan loss recorded against the Four Woods financing notes during the current period and the waiver of Management fees by the management company on the non-performing Black Bison assets during the latter part of 2015. Lastly, the increase in the common dividend per share combined with an increase in the number of shares outstanding which resulted in an increase in the incentive fee of $142 thousand. The incentive fee is calculated as a percentage of dividends paid in excess of a predetermined threshold. See Note 10, Management Agreement, for additional information.

Acquisition and professional fees for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, were $887 thousand and $1.2 million, respectively. Acquisition costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016, were $636 thousand less than the prior-year period primarily because of opportunities the Company pursued during the first three months of 2015 which were not completed. Acquisition expense represents costs incurred throughout the year as we pursue potential opportunities to expand our REIT-qualified asset portfolio. Generally, we expect asset acquisition expenses to be repaid over time from income generated by acquisitions. However, any particular period may reflect significant expenses arising from third party legal, engineering, and consulting fees that are incurred in the early to mid-stages of due diligence. Professional fees also increased $281 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily due to increased legal fees associated with the assignment and modification of the $70 million secured term credit facility, increased audit fees, professional fees associated with the review of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, expenses incurred in the monitoring of our assets at GIGS, and the Black Bison foreclosure activities.

Other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, were $565 thousand and $155 thousand, respectively. Costs for the three months ended March 31, 2016, were $410 thousand higher than the prior-year period primarily due to: (i) a $99 thousand increase in expenses incurred during the current period related to the Black Bison foreclosure; (ii) a $57 thousand increase in director's fees due to the prior-period's retainer having been recorded subsequent to March 31, 2015, and expenses related to the Company's trip to the New York Stock Exchange to ring the closing bell; (iii) a $42 thousand increase in printing and mailing expenses associated with the Company's January 2016 Form S-3 and our February 2016 Form 424B2; and (iv) increases in travel related to the monitoring of our asset base, increases in the redesign of our website and increases in registration expense incurred during the current period.

Non-Controlling Interest Attributable to Adjusted EBITDA Items

Based on Prudential's 18.95 percent ownership interest in Pinedale LP, the Company is required to make a further adjustment to the adjusted EBITDA items presented above to exclude the portion attributable to Prudential's non-controlling interest. For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, Prudential's interest in these items totaled $945 thousand and $970 thousand, respectively. The decrease of $25 thousand during the current year is attributable to Prudential's proportionate share of Pinedale LP's increase in lease revenue and adjustment to registration expense partially offset by higher legal and professional fees incurred in connection with refinancing efforts related to the $70 million secured term credit facility.

Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA attributable to CorEnergy Stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2016, was $16.9 million as compared to $8.3 million for the prior-year period. As noted above, the increases in adjusted EBITDA are primarily associated with the acquisition of GIGS in June 2015, partially offset by reduced revenues related to our financing agreements.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to Income Attributable to Common Stockholders as reported in the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income:

	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2016			March 31, 2015
Adjusted EBITDA	$	16,920,897		$	8,252,028

Preferred dividend requirements	(1,037,109		)	(737,500		)
Income Attributable to Common Stockholders	$	2,354,012		$	3,349,128

Net Distributions and Dividends Recorded as Income

The following table summarizes the breakout of net distributions and dividends reported as income on the income statement. The table begins with the gross cash distributions and dividend income received from our investment securities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. This amount is increased by cash distributions received in a prior period that were, at the time, deemed a return of capital and have been reclassified during the current period as income. Finally, a reduction is shown for cash distributions received in the current period that are deemed a return of capital and, as such, are not included in income received from investment securities. The portion of the distributions that are deemed to be return of capital in any period are based on estimates made at the time such distributions are received. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on information received from the portfolio company after their tax reporting periods are concluded, as the actual character of these distributions is not known until after our fiscal year end.

Net Distributions and Dividends Recorded as Income
	For the Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2016		March 31, 2015
Gross distributions and dividends received from investment securities	$	259,734	$	248,949
Add:
Distributions and dividends received in prior period previously deemed a return of capital (recorded as a cost reduction) and reclassified as income in a subsequent period	117,004		371,323

Net Realized and Unrealized Gain on Securities

We characterize distributions received from private investments estimated based on prior year activity. After receiving the K-1s, which depict the Company's share of income and losses from the investment in the security, previously unrealized gains can be reclassified as dividend income.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, the $2.0 million decrease in realized and unrealized losses from other equity securities versus the prior-year period is primarily due to a combination of: (i) a $2.4 million increase in unrealized losses due to fluctuations in the valuation of Lightfoot; minus (ii) a $230 thousand change in the valuation of the Black Bison warrant; minus (iii) a $43 thousand unrealized gain on the 18-month escrow associated with the sale of VantaCore recognized during 2016.

The decrease in valuation of Lightfoot is due to a decrease in the public share price of Arc Logistics (ARCX) and a decrease in the value of Gulf LNG. ARCX share price at March 31, 2016, was $10.23/share, a decrease of $9.05/share from March 31, 2015. The decrease in Gulf LNG is due to an increase in the market discount rate and a decrease in the market growth rate, both resulting in a lower valuation.

Depreciation, Amortization, and Accretion

Depreciation, amortization, and accretion expense increased $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the prior-year period. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisition of the GIGS in June 2015, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation expense due to the termination of the PNM Lease Agreement. Please refer to Note 4, Leases, for additional discussion of the PNM Purchase Agreement and its effects on the consolidated financial statements included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was approximately $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $1.1 million for the prior-year period. The $2.8 million increase is primarily attributable to: (i) $2.0 million of interest expense and $188 thousand of amortization of the discount on the Convertible Notes issued June 29, 2015; (ii) a 31 percent increase in the LIBOR rate spread and amortization of deferred debt costs associated with the extension of the $70 million secured term credit facility to March 30, 2016; and (iii) $64 thousand due to the amortization of deferred debt costs incurred in connection with the July 2015 upsizing of the Regions Credit Facility.

Non-Controlling Interest Attributable to Depreciation, Amortization, Accretion, and Interest Expense

Due to Prudential's 18.95 percent ownership interest in Pinedale LP, the Company must make adjustments for non-controlling interests. Non-controlling interest attributable to depreciation, amortization, accretion, and interest expense items was $596 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $560 thousand for the prior-year period. The increase is primarily attributable to the amortization of deferred debt costs associated with the December 31, 2015, modification of the $70 million secured term credit facility during the current period.

Net Income Attributable to CorEnergy Stockholders

Net income attributable to common stockholders was $3.4 million, or $0.20 per common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to $4.1 million, or $0.36 per common share, for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Common Equity Attributable to CorEnergy Shareholders per Share

As of March 31, 2016, our common equity decreased by approximately $6.7 million to $355.1 million from $361.8 million as of December 31, 2015. This decrease principally consists of: (i) dividends paid to our shareholders of approximately $10.0 million;

38

Table of Contents Glossary of Defined Terms

minus (ii) net income attributable to CorEnergy common stockholders of approximately $3.4 million; plus (iii) $159 thousand of dividends reinvested under the DRIP plan; minus (iv) a $211 thousand decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income associated with our hedged derivative assets.

NAREIT FFO

FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, NAREIT FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses of depreciable properties, real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs or loan origination costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and non-controlling interests. Adjustments for non-controlling interests are calculated on the same basis. We define FFO attributable to common stockholders as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock. Our method of calculating FFO attributable to common shareholders may differ from methods used by other REITs and, as such, may not be comparable.

FFO ADJUSTED FOR SECURITIES INVESTMENTS (FFO)

Due to the legacy investments that we hold, we have also historically presented a measure of FFO, to which we refer herein as FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments, derived by further adjusting NAREIT FFO for distributions received from investment securities, income tax expense (benefit) from investment securities, net distributions and dividend income, and net realized and unrealized gain or loss on other equity securities.

We present NAREIT FFO and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors, and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is a key measure used by the Company in assessing performance and in making resource allocation decisions.

Both NAREIT FFO and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments are intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions, and that may also be the case with the energy infrastructure assets in which we invest. NAREIT FFO and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments exclude depreciation and amortization unique to real estate and gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items. As such, it provides a performance measure that provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income when compared to prior-year periods. These metrics reflect the impact to operations from trends in base and participating rents, company operating costs, development activities and interest costs.

We calculate NAREIT FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002) and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investment as NAREIT FFO with additional adjustments described above due to our legacy investments. This may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly may not be comparable to such other REITs. NAREIT FFO and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments do not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital for replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and

39

Table of Contents Glossary of Defined Terms

uncertainties. NAREIT FFO and FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments as historically reported by the Company should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our liquidity, or as an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions or to service our indebtedness.

AFFO

Management uses AFFO as a measure of long-term sustainable operational performance. AFFO in excess of dividends is used for debt repayment, reinvestments, funding our ARO liability, or other commitments and uncertainties which are necessary to sustain our dividend over the long term. AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our financial performance, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our liquidity, or as an indicator of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions or service our indebtedness.

For completeness, the following table sets forth a reconciliation of our net income as determined in accordance with GAAP and our calculations of NAREIT FFO, FFO Adjusted for Securities Investments, and AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015. AFFO is a supplemental, non-GAAP financial measure which we define as FFO Adjusted for Securities Investment plus provision for loan losses, net of tax, transaction costs, amortization of debt issuance costs, amortization of deferred leasing costs, accretion of asset retirement obligation, income tax expense (benefit) unrelated to securities investments and provision for loan losses, above-market rent, noncash costs associated with derivative instruments and certain costs of a nonrecurring nature, less maintenance, capital expenditures (if any), amortization of debt premium, and other adjustments as deemed appropriate by Management. Also presented is information regarding the weighted-average number of shares of our common stock outstanding used for the computation of per share data:

NAREIT FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, totaled approximately $7.0 million and $7.0 million, respectively. NAREIT FFO was calculated in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust's definition above.

FFO ADJUSTED FOR SECURITIES INVESTMENTS (FFO)

FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, equaled approximately $8.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively. FFO was calculated in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trust's definition, above. In addition, we further adjusted NAREIT FFO for distributions received from investment securities, income tax expense (benefit) from investment securities, net distributions and dividend income, and net realized and unrealized gain or loss on other equity securities as follows:

41

Table of Contents Glossary of Defined Terms

• For the three months ended March 31, 2016, we adjusted NAREIT FFO by adding distributions received from investment securities of approximately $260 thousand; by subtracting income tax expense from investment securities of approximately $476 thousand; by subtracting net distributions and dividend income of approximately $376 thousand; and by eliminating a net realized and unrealized loss on other equity securities of approximately $1.6 million.

• For the three months ended March 31, 2015, we adjusted NAREIT FFO by adding distributions received from investment securities of approximately $249 thousand; by adding income tax expense from investment securities of approximately $413 thousand; by subtracting net distributions and dividend income of approximately $590 thousand; and by eliminating a net realized and unrealized gain on other equity securities of approximately $450 thousand.

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, $0 of net income is attributable to the PNM Lease Agreement versus $69 thousand for the prior-year period. Included in the amount being added back to depreciation expense attributable to EIP leased asset is $0 for the current-year period as compared to $570 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

AFFO

AFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, totaled approximately $12.8 million and $7.0 million, respectively. In addition to the adjustments outlined in the AFFO definition above, we have included an adjustment to back out lease revenue associated with the EIP investment. This adjustment equals $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and $543 thousand for the prior-year period. Based on the economic return to CorEnergy resulting from the sale of our 40 percent undivided interest in EIP, we determined that it was appropriate to eliminate the portion of EIP lease income attributable to return of capital, as a means to more accurately reflect the EIP lease revenue contribution to CorEnergy-sustainable AFFO. CorEnergy believes that the portion of the EIP lease revenue attributable to return of capital, unless adjusted, overstates CorEnergy's distribution-paying capabilities and is not representative of sustainable EIP income over the life of the lease. The Company completed the sale of EIP on April 1, 2015.

FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXATION

In 2013 we qualified, and in March 2014 elected (effective as of January 1, 2013), to be treated as a REIT for federal income tax purposes (which we refer to as the “REIT Election"). Because certain of our assets may not produce REIT-qualifying income or be treated as interests in real property, those assets are held in wholly-owned TRSs in order to limit the potential that such assets and income could prevent us from qualifying as a REIT.

For the years ended in 2012 and before, the distributions we made to our stockholders from our earnings and profits were treated as qualified dividend income ("QDI") and return of capital. QDI is taxed to our individual shareholders at the maximum rate for long-term capital gains, which through tax year 2012 was 15 percent and beginning in tax year 2013 is 20 percent. The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT for 2013 and subsequent years rather than a C corporation and generally will not pay federal income tax on taxable income of the REIT that is distributed to our stockholders. As a REIT, our distributions from earnings and profits will be treated as ordinary income and a return of capital, and generally will not qualify as QDI. To the extent that the REIT had accumulated C corporation earnings and profits from the periods prior to 2013, we distributed such earnings and profits in 2013. A portion of our normal distributions in 2013 have been characterized for federal income tax purposes as a distribution of those earnings and profits from non-REIT years and have been treated as QDI. In addition, to the extent we receive taxable distributions from our TRSs, or the REIT received distributions of C corporation earnings and profits, such portion of our distribution will be treated as QDI.

As a REIT, the Company holds and operates certain of our assets through one or more wholly-owned TRSs. Our use of TRSs enables us to continue to engage in certain businesses while complying with REIT qualification requirements and also allows us to retain income generated by these businesses for reinvestment without the requirement of distributing those earnings. In the future, we may elect to reorganize and transfer certain assets or operations from our TRSs to the Company or other subsidiaries, including qualified REIT subsidiaries.

The Company's trading securities and other equity securities are limited partnerships or limited liability companies which are treated as partnerships for federal and state income tax purposes. As a limited partner, the Company reports its allocable share of taxable income in computing its own taxable income. To the extent held by a TRS, the TRS's tax expense or benefit is included in the Consolidated Statements of Income based on the component of income or gains and losses to which such expense or benefit relates. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. A valuation allowance is recognized if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred income tax asset will not be realized.

42

Table of Contents Glossary of Defined Terms

If we cease to qualify as a REIT, the Company, as a C corporation, would be obligated to pay federal and state income tax on its taxable income. Currently, the highest regular marginal federal income tax rate for a corporation is 35 percent. The Company may be subject to a 20 percent federal alternative minimum tax on its federal alternative minimum taxable income to the extent that its alternative minimum tax exceeds its regular federal income tax.

SEASONALITY

Though MoGas has stable revenues throughout the year, it will complete necessary pipeline maintenance during "non-heating" season, or quarters two and three. Therefore, MoGas operating results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

ASSET PORTFOLIO AND RELATED DEVELOPMENTS

For detailed descriptions of our asset portfolio and related operations, other than our remaining private equity securities as of March 31, 2016, please refer to "Item 2 - Properties" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015, and to Notes 3, 4, and 5 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report. This section provides additional information concerning material developments related to our asset portfolio that occurred during the period ended March 31, 2016.

Grand Isle Gathering System

Depressed commodity prices have negatively impacted the operational and financial condition of EXXI. On April 14, 2016, EXXI and substantially all of its directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries filed a voluntary petition to reorganize under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Code, after reaching an agreement with certain creditors to provide support for a restructuring of its debt. The proposed agreement would eliminate over $2.8 billion of debt. CorEnergy's tenant under the GIGS Lease, Energy XXI GIGS Services, LLC has not filed for bankruptcy. Therefore, its obligations under the GIGS Lease are currently not subject to the bankruptcy proceedings.

The bankruptcy filing of the guarantor of the Grand Isle Gathering System Lease, EXXI, and its failure to make interest payments to its creditors within the applicable cure period, would have constituted defaults under the terms of the GIGS Lease. However, CorEnergy provided a conditional waiver to certain remedies of these defaults. This allowed CorEnergy’s tenant to remain outside the bankruptcy proceedings.

Our tenant is currently compliant with the GIGS Lease Agreement and we continue to believe that our asset is critical to EXXI’s ability to meet the objectives set forth within its restructuring plan. EXXI has stated its intentions to continue normal operations during the bankruptcy proceedings and is current on its rent.

On April 25, 2015, EXXI was delisted from the NASDAQ Stock Market as a result of failing to meet certain listing standards. EXXI has begun trading on the OTC Pink Market.

Pinedale LGS

Depressed commodity prices have negatively impacted the operational and financial condition of UPL. Ultra Petroleum filed on April 29, 2016, a voluntary petition to reorganize under Chapter 11. The filing includes Ultra Wyoming LGS, LLC, the operator of the Pinedale LGS and tenant of the Pinedale Lease Agreement.

The bankruptcy filing of both the guarantor, Ultra Petroleum, and the tenant and circumstances prompting the filing constitute defaults under the terms of the Pinedale Lease Agreement. The bankruptcy filing serves as a stay of the Company's ability to exercise remedies for certain of those defaults. However, Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code requires Ultra Wyoming to comply on a timely basis with many provisions of the Pinedale Lease Agreement, including the payment provisions. The only exception to that requirement is if Ultra Wyoming takes specific action to reject the Pinedale Lease Agreement. Ultra Wyoming has not filed a motion to reject the Pinedale Lease.

Our tenant is currently compliant with the Pinedale Lease Agreement and we continue to believe that our asset is critical to UPL’s ability to meet the objectives set forth within its restructuring plan. UPL has stated its intentions to continue normal operations during the bankruptcy proceedings and is current on its rent.

On May 2, 2015 UPL was delisted from the NYSE Stock Market as a result of failing to meet certain listing standards. UPL has begun trading on the OTC Pink Market.

Black Bison

On February 29, the Company foreclosed on 100 percent of the equity of BB Intermediate, the holding company of Black Bison Water Services, LLC, the borrower of the Black Bison financing notes receivable. See Note 5 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Omega Pipeline

On January 28, 2016, Omega was awarded a new 10-year contract with the Department of Defense, to provide natural gas and gas distribution assets to Fort Leonard Wood through Omega’s approximately 70-mile pipeline distribution system on the military base. As a result of the new contract natural gas and propane costs are being presented net in transportation and distribution revenue. See Note 2 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Private Security Assets

As of March 31, 2016, investments in securities of energy infrastructure companies represents approximately 1.0 percent of the Company’s total assets. The following is a summary of the fair values of the other equity securities that we held at March 31, 2016, as they compare to the fair values at December 31, 2015:

Fair Value of Other Equity Securities
Portfolio Company	Fair Value At March 31, 2016		Fair Value At December 31, 2015		$ Change			% Change
Lightfoot	$	6,837,442	$	8,393,683	$	(1,556,241	)	(18.5	)%
Total Other Equity Securities	$	6,837,442	$	8,393,683	$	(1,556,241	)	(18.5	)%

Lightfoot

The fair value of Lightfoot as of March 31, 2016, decreased approximately $1.6 million, or 18.5 percent, as compared to the valuation at December 31, 2015, primarily due to the change in value of Arc Logistics' publicly traded shares offset by a decrease in the Company's marketability discount.

During the first quarter, the Company received a distribution of $255 thousand and expects these distributions to be funded primarily by Lightfoot’s distributions from Arc Logistics and Gulf LNG. However, both the ability of Arc Logistics and Gulf LNG to make quarterly distributions and the amount of such distributions will be dependent on Arc Logistics' and Gulf LNG's business results, and neither Arc Logistics, Gulf LNG, nor Lightfoot is under any obligation to make such distributions. On March 1, 2016 an affiliate of Gulf LNG received a Notice of Disagreement and Disputed Statements and a Notice of Arbitration from Eni USA Gas Marketing L.L.C ("Eni USA"), one of the two companies that had entered into a terminal use agreement for capacity of the liquefied natural gas facility owned by Gulf LNG and its subsidiaries. Should Eni USA terminate its' agreement with Gulf LNG, this could materially impact Arc Logistics and Gulf LNG's ability to fund their distributions to the Company. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our expectations concerning 2016 distributions from Lightfoot will be realized.

VantaCore

The company received its final escrow distribution of $1.4 million on April 1, 2016. For additional details, please refer to Item 2.01 of the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on October 7, 2014.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

At March 31, 2016, we had approximately $67.1 million available for future investment representing cash of $12.8 million plus revolver availability of $54.2 million less the following near-term commitments:

• current maturities of long-term debt of $4.3 million;

• accounts payable and other accrued liabilities totaling $4.7 million; and

• management fee payable of $1.9 million.

There are opportunities that are in preliminary stages of review, and consummation of any of these opportunities depends on a number of factors beyond our control. There can be no assurance that any of these acquisition opportunities will result in consummated transactions. As part of our disciplined investment philosophy, we plan to use a moderate level of leverage, approximately 25 percent to 50 percent of assets, supplemented with accretive equity issuance as needed, subject to current market conditions. We may invest in assets subject to greater leverage which could be both recourse and non-recourse to us.

Cash Flows - Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately $16.7 million, representing an increase of approximately $10.6 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015. The significant increase that primarily drove this change was the addition of the GIGS lease payments starting July 1, 2015. Cash provided by the GIGS lease payments for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was $10.5 million.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

Significant factors impacting the $79 thousand of cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 were as follows:

• Additional funding of the Black Bison and Four Wood financing notes of $202 thousand.

• Purchases of property and equipment of $102 thousand.

• Proceeds received on foreclosure of Black Bison Intermediate Holdings of $223 thousand.

• Distributions to non-controlling interests of $681 thousand.

• Principal payments on the $70 million secured term credit facility totaling $882 thousand.

Revolving and Term Credit Facilities

Credit Facilities of the REIT

In conjunction with the MoGas Transaction on November 24, 2014, the Company increased their credit facility to $90 million at the REIT level, and $3.0 million at the subsidiary entity level (the "Regions Revolver"). For the first six months subsequent to the increase, the facility bore interest on the outstanding balance at a rate of LIBOR plus 3.50 percent. Beginning May 24, 2015 and through July 7, 2015 the interest rate was determined by a pricing grid where the applicable interest rate was LIBOR plus 2.75 percent to 3.50 percent, depending on the Company's leverage ratio at such time. On June 29, 2015, the Company borrowed against the revolver in the amount of $42 million in conjunction with the GIGS transaction.

On July 8, 2015, the Company amended and upsized its existing $93 million credit facility with Regions Bank (as lender and administrative agent for the other participating lenders) to provide borrowing commitments of $153 million, consisting of (i) an increase in the Regions Revolver to $105 million, (ii) the existing $3 million MoGas Revolver at the subsidiary entity level (as detailed below) and (iii) a $45 million term loan at the CorEnergy parent entity level (the "Regions Term Loan" and, collectively with the upsized Regions Revolver and the MoGas Revolver, the "Regions Credit Facility"). Upon closing the Regions Credit Facility, CorEnergy drew $45 million on the Regions Term Loan to pay down the balance on the Regions Revolver that had been used in funding the recent GIGS acquisition.

Effective as of March 4, 2016, the Company and the required lenders under the Regions Revolver executed a Limited Consent and Amendment (the “Consent”).  Pursuant to such Consent, among other things, the lenders consented to the Company’s use of

45

Table of Contents Glossary of Defined Terms

up to $49.0 million, up to $44.0 million of which could come from the proceeds of draws under the Regions Revolver, in connection with the refinancing of Pinedale LP’s outstanding indebtedness due under the $70 million secured term credit facility on March 30, 2016 as discussed below.  The Company now has approximately $54.2 million of available borrowing capacity on the Regions Revolver. The Company paid fees to the lenders in connection with the Consent in an aggregate amount of $193 thousand.

For a summary of the additional material terms of the Regions Credit Facility, please see Note 12 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

Pinedale Facility

Pinedale LP had a $70.0 million secured term credit facility that provided for monthly payments of principal and interest. Under the original agreement, outstanding balances under the credit facility generally accrued interest at a variable annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 3.25 percent and were secured by the Pinedale LGS. Pinedale LP was obligated each month to pay all accrued interest as well as principal payments of $294 thousand. The $70 million secured term credit facility was set to expire at the end of December 2015, however, the Company extended the facility through March 30, 2016. Under the December 31, 2015 extension amendment, outstanding balances accrued interest at a variable annual rate equal to LIBOR plus 4.25 percent. Pinedale LP made principal payments totaling $3.2 million during the extension period through March 30, 2016. On March 30, 2016, the Company and Prudential Capital, as the Refinancing Lenders and in proportion to their pro rata equity interests in Pinedale LP, together paid the remaining $58.5 million principal balance of the $70 million secured term credit facility and executed a series of agreements assigning the credit facility to CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. as Agent for the Refinancing Lenders. Refer to Note 12 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information.

Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount. In December of 2012, we executed interest rate swap derivatives covering $52.5 million of notional value of the $70 million secured term credit facility, to add stability to our interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements on our LIBOR based borrowings. Through March 30, 2016, the interest rate swap derivatives remained in place on $52.5 million of the secured term credit facility at a base rate of 3.25 percent plus 0.865 percent. As part of the March 30, 2016 refinancing, the Company terminated one of the derivative contracts, representing half of the amount hedged.

Convertible Notes

On June 29, 2015, CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. completed a public offering of $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Convertible Senior Notes Due 2020. The Convertible Notes mature on June 15, 2020 and bear interest at a rate of 7.0 percent per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2015.

The Company may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to the maturity date. Holders may convert their Convertible Notes into shares of the Company’s common stock at their option until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. The initial conversion rate for the Convertible Notes is 30.3030 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of $33 per share of Common Stock. Such conversion rate will be subject to adjustment in certain events as specified in the Indenture. Refer to Note 13 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report for additional information.

MoGas Credit Facility

In conjunction with the MoGas Transaction, MoGas Pipeline LLC and United Property systems, LLC, as co-borrowers, entered into a revolving credit agreement dated November 24, 2014 (the “MoGas Revolver”), with certain lenders, including Regions Bank as agent for such lenders. Pursuant to the MoGas Revolver, the co-borrowers may borrow, prepay and reborrow loans up to$3.0 million outstanding at any time. On July 8, 2015 the revolving credit agreement was amended and restated in accordance with the expansion of the REIT credit facilities mentioned previously. Interest accrues under the MoGas Revolver at the same rate and pursuant to the same terms as it accrues under the Regions Revolver and term loan. As of March 31, 2016, there had been no borrowings against the MoGas Revolver. As of March 31, 2016, the co-borrowers are in compliance with all covenants of the MoGas Revolver.

Mowood/Omega Credit Facility

On October 15, 2014, Mowood and Omega renewed the 2013 Note Payable Agreement by entering into a $1.5 million Revolving Note Payable Agreement ("2014 Note Payable Agreement"), under which interest accrued at the Prime Lending Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, plus 0.5 percent, and was payable monthly, and in full, with accrued interest on the initial termination date of January 31, 2015. Borrowings on the 2014 Note Payable Agreement were secured by Mowood's and Omega's assets. On January 30, 2015, Mowood and Omega modified the 2014 Note Payable Agreement to extend the maturity date to July 31, 2015.

46

Table of Contents Glossary of Defined Terms

On July 31, 2015, the 2014 Note Payable Agreement was allowed to expire and a new $1.5 million revolving line of credit ("Mowood/Omega Revolver") was established with Regions Bank. The new Mowood/Omega Revolver will be used for working capital and general business purposes, is guaranteed and secured by the assets of Mowood and has a maturity of July 31, 2016. Interest accrues at LIBOR plus 4.00 percent and is payable monthly in arrears with no unused fee. There was no outstanding balance at March 31, 2016.

Debt Covenants

All of our debt agreements contain customary restrictive covenants related to financial and operating performance, including restrictions on additional debt, investments, distributions, etc., and such covenants include exceptions and qualifications. The Regions Revolver was subject to (i) a minimum fixed charge ratio of 3.5 to 1.0; (ii) a maximum total leverage ratio of 5.5 to 1.0; (iii) a maximum total recourse leverage ratio (which generally excludes debt from Unrestricted Subs) of 3.25 to 1.0 for the period ending March 31, 2015, and 3.0 to 1.0 thereafter; and (iv) a maximum total funded debt to capitalization ratio of 50 percent.

As of July 8, 2015 under the amended and restated Regions Revolver and term loan agreement, the Company is subject to certain revised financial covenants as follows: (i) a minimum debt service coverage ratio of 2.0 to 1.0; (ii) a maximum total leverage ratio of 5.0 to 1.0; (iii) a maximum senior secured recourse leverage ratio (which generally excludes debt from Unrestricted Subs) of 3.00 to 1.0.; and (iv) a maximum total funded debt to capitalization ratio of 50 percent. Effective September 30, 2015, the Regions Revolver was amended to clarify that the covenant related to the Company's ability to make distributions is tied to AFFO and applicable REIT distribution requirements, and provides that, in the absence of any acceleration of maturity following an Event of Default, the Company may make distributions equal to the greater of the amount required to maintain the Company's REIT status and 100 percent of AFFO for the trailing 12-month period.

The $70 million secured term credit facility was subject to (i) a minimum interest rate coverage ratio of 5.5 to 1.0; (ii) a maximum leverage ratio through the computation period ending August 31, 2015, 3.5 to 1.0 and, thereafter, 3.25 to 1.0; and (iii) a minimum net worth of $115.0 million, each measured at the Pinedale LP level and not at the Company level. As a result of the March 30, 2016 refinancing the minimum interest coverage ratio was amended to a ratio of 3.0 to 1.0.

We were in compliance with all covenants at March 31, 2016.

Equity Offerings

On February 18, 2016, we had a new shelf registration statement declared effective by the SEC, pursuant to which we may publicly offer additional securities consisting of (i) common stock, (ii) preferred stock, (iii) fractional interests in shares of our preferred stock represented by depositary shares, (iv) senior and/or subordinated debt securities, (v) subscription rights to purchase shares of our common stock, preferred stock (or depositary shares representing a fractional interest therein) and/or debt securities, (vi) warrants representing rights to purchase shares of our common stock, preferred stock (or depositary shares representing a fractional interest therein) and/or debt securities, or (vii) units consisting of a combination of any of the foregoing, with an aggregate offering price of up to $600.0 million.

As of March 31, 2016, we have issued 12,060 shares of common stock under the Company's dividend reinvestment plan, reducing availability by approximately $159 thousand.

Liquidity and Capitalization

Our principal investing activities are acquiring and financing midstream and downstream real estate assets within the U.S. energy infrastructure sector and concurrently entering into long-term triple-net participating leases with energy companies. These investing activities have generally been financed from the proceeds of our public equity and debt offerings as well as the term and credit facilities mentioned above. Continued growth of our asset portfolio will depend in part on our continued ability to access funds through additional borrowings and securities offerings. The following is our liquidity and capitalization as of the below noted dates:

We also have two additional lines of credit for working capital purposes for two of our subsidiaries with maximum availability of $3.0 million and $1.5 million.

Liquidity Analysis

In analyzing our liquidity, we generally expect that our cash provided by operating activities will fund our normal recurring operating expenses, recurring debt service requirements and dividends to shareholders.

Our sources of liquidity as of March 31, 2016, to pay our remaining 2016 commitments, include the amounts available under our revolving credit facilities of approximately $58.7 million and unrestricted cash on hand of approximately $12.8 million. As authorized by our Board of Directors, we may use our liquidity to purchase up to an additional $10.0 million of our common stock and up to $15.0 million of face value of our convertible debt, subject to market conditions and compliance with all applicable regulatory requirements. See Note 16 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report, for shares of common stock purchased in April 2016.

We also believe that we will be able to repay, extend, refinance or otherwise settle our debt obligations for 2016 and thereafter as the debt comes due, and that we will be able to fund our remaining commitments as necessary. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing or capital will be available, or that terms will be acceptable or advantageous to us.

Private Securities Investments

As of March 31, 2016, our only remaining securities investment was Lightfoot. For additional information concerning Lightfoot and related developments during 2016 please refer to the discussion presented above in this Item 2 under the heading “Asset Portfolio and Related Developments.”

We do not plan to make additional investments in securities (other than short-term, highly liquid investments to be held pending acquisition of real property assets and, to the extent compatible with our status as a REIT, equity enhancements to certain of our real property investments), and we intend to liquidate our remaining private securities investments in an orderly manner.

(1) The amount shown as the Notional Value for the Regions Term Note represents the outstanding principal balance at 3/31/16.
(2) The amounts for Pinedale LP debt above represent Prudential's share of the principal and interest payments which is 18.95%. CORR's share of the principal and interest are eliminated in consolidation as these have become intercompany in Q1 due to CORR taking over with Prudential as Refinancing Lenders on the Pinedale LP note. See footnote 12, Credit Facilities, for further information.

The Company's revolving credit facilities are not included in the above table because they relate to indebtedness under a line of credit with no fixed repayment schedule. Fees paid to Corridor under the Management Agreement and the Administrative Agreement are not included because they vary as a function of the value of our total assets under management. For additional information see Note 10 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

We do not have, and are not expected to have, any off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

MAJOR TENANTS

As of March 31, 2016, the Company had three significant leases. For additional information concerning each of these leases, see Note 4 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.

DIVIDENDS

Our portfolio of real property assets, promissory notes, and investment securities generates cash flow to us from which we pay distributions to stockholders. For the period ended March 31, 2016, the sources of our stockholder distributions include lease and financing revenue from our real property assets and distributions from our investment securities. Distributions to common stockholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and distributions to preferred stockholders are recorded when declared by the Board of Directors. The characterization of any distribution for federal income tax purposes will not be determined until after the end of the taxable year.

The Company paid its fourth quarter common stock dividend of $0.75 per share on February 29, 2016.

On April 27, 2016, the Board of Directors declared the Company's 2016 first quarter common stock dividend of $0.75 per share. The first quarter dividend is payable on May 31, 2016 to shareholders of record on May 13, 2016.

On April 27, 2016, the Board of Directors also declared a dividend of $0.4609375 per depositary share for the Company’s 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for the quarter ending March 31, 2016. The preferred stock dividend is payable on May 31, 2016 to shareholders of record on May 13, 2016.

A REIT is generally required to distribute during the taxable year an amount equal to at least 90 percent of the REIT taxable income (determined under Internal Revenue Code section 857(b)(2), without regard to the deduction for dividends paid). We intend to adhere to this requirement in order to maintain our REIT status. The Board of Directors will continue to determine the amount of any distribution that we expect to pay our stockholders.

IMPACT OF INFLATION AND DEFLATION

Deflation can result in a decline in general price levels, often caused by a decrease in the supply of money or credit. The predominant effects of deflation are high unemployment, credit contraction, and weakened consumer demand. Restricted lending practices could impact our ability to obtain financings or to refinance our properties and our tenants' ability to obtain credit. During inflationary periods, we intend for substantially all of our tenant leases to be designed to mitigate the impact of inflation. Generally, our leases include rent escalators that are based on the CPI, or other agreed upon metrics that increase with inflation.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The financial statements included in this report are based on the selection and application of critical accounting policies, which require management to make significant estimates and assumptions. Critical accounting policies are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, complex or subjective judgments. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities, recognition of distribution income and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, included in this report for further information related to our significant accounting policies.

A more complete discussion of our critical accounting estimates is presented under the heading “Critical Accounting Estimates” in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 as previously filed with the SEC.  The following information updates our discussion of Critical Accounting Estimates related to Long-Lived Assets and Goodwill in our annual report.

Goodwill Impairment

Our goodwill represents the excess of the amount we paid for MoGas over the fair value of the net identifiable assets acquired. We periodically evaluate our goodwill for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. This evaluation requires us to compare the fair value of the assets to the current and future operating performance of the assets, the most important of which is discounted operating cash flows. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired.

We estimate the fair value of MoGas based on a number of factors, including discount rates, projected cash flows and the potential value we would receive if we sold the business.We also compare the total fair value to our overall enterprise value, which considers the market value for our common and preferred units. Estimating projected cash flows requires us to make certain assumptions as it relates to the future operating performance of MoGas and assumptions related to their customers, such as their future capital and operating plans and their financial condition. When considering operating performance, various factors are considered such as current and changing economic conditions and the commodity price environment, among others. Due to the imprecise nature of these projections and assumptions, actual results can differ from our estimates. If the assumptions embodied in the projections prove inaccurate, we could incur a future impairment charge.

We acquired MoGas on November 24, 2014 and recorded the assets, liabilities and goodwill at fair value on the date they were acquired. As a result, any level of decrease in the forecasted cash flows of these assets or increases in the discount rates utilized to value the assets from their respective acquisition dates would likely result in the fair value of the assets falling below the carrying value, and could result in an assessment of whether the related goodwill is impaired.

Commodity prices have continued to decline since late 2014, and that decline has adversely impacted forecasted cash flows, discount rates and stock/unit prices for most companies in the energy industry.

We continue to monitor goodwill and we could experience impairments of goodwill in the future if we experience material customer defaults. As of March 31, 2016 we have not recorded any impairments of goodwill.

Long-Lived Assets

Our long-lived assets consist primarily of a subsea midstream pipeline system, liquids gathering system, petroleum products terminal and natural gas pipelines that have been obtained through a business combination and asset acquisitions. The initial recording of these long-lived assets was at fair value, which is estimated by management primarily utilizing market-related information and other projections on the performance of the assets acquired. Management reviews this information to determine its reasonableness in comparison to the assumptions utilized in determining the purchase price of the assets in addition to other market-based information that was received through the purchase process and other sources. These projections also include projections on potential obligations assumed in these acquisitions. Due to the imprecise nature of the projections and assumptions utilized in determining fair value, actual results can, and often do, differ from our estimates.

We utilize assumptions related to the useful lives and related terminal value of our long-lived assets in order to determine depreciation and amortization expense each period. Due to the imprecise nature of the projections and assumptions utilized in determining useful lives, actual results can differ from our estimates.

We continually monitor our business, the business environment and the performance of our operations to determine if an event has occurred that indicates that a long-lived asset may be impaired. If an event occurs, which is a determination that involves judgment, we may be required to utilize cash flow projections to assess our ability to recover the carrying value of our assets based on our long-lived assets' ability to generate future cash flows on an undiscounted basis. This differs from our evaluation of goodwill, for which we perform an assessment of the recoverability of goodwill utilizing fair value estimates that primarily utilize discounted cash flows in the estimation process (as described above), and accordingly any goodwill impairment recognized may not be indicative of a similar impairment of the related underlying long-lived assets.

Projected cash flows of our long-lived assets are generally based on contractual cash flows relating to existing leases that extend many years into the future. If those cash flow projections indicate that the long-lived asset's carrying value is not recoverable, we record an impairment charge for the excess of carrying value of the asset over its fair value. The estimate of fair value considers a number of factors, including the potential value we would receive if we sold the asset, discount rates and projected cash flows. Due to the imprecise nature of these projections and assumptions, actual results can differ from our estimates.

We continue to monitor our long-lived assets, and we could experience additional impairments of the remaining carrying value of these long-lived assets in the future if we receive additional negative information about market conditions or our tenants which could negatively impact the forecasted cash flows or discount rates utilized to determine the fair value of those investments. As of March 31, 2016, we have not recorded an impairment of long-lived assets.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our business activities contain elements of market risk. We consider fluctuations in the value of our securities portfolio to be our principal market risk. With respect to our equity securities as of March 31, 2016, there were no material changes to our market risk exposure as compared to the end of our preceding fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

As of March 31, 2016, the fair value of our securities portfolio (excluding short-term investments) totaled approximately $6.8 million. We estimate that the impact of a 10 percent increase or decrease in the fair value of these securities, net of related deferred taxes, would increase or decrease net assets applicable to common shareholders by approximately $425 thousand.

Our equity and debt securities, outside of the convertible notes, are reported at fair value. The fair value of securities is determined using readily available market quotations from the principal market, if available. Because there are no readily available market quotations for many of the securities in our portfolio, we value a large portion of our securities at fair value as determined in good faith under a valuation policy and a consistently applied valuation process, which has been approved by our Board of Directors. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of securities that do not have readily available market quotations, the fair value of our securities may differ significantly from the fair values that would have been used had a ready market quotation existed for such securities, and these differences could be material.

Long-term debt used to finance our acquisitions may be based on floating or fixed rates. As of March 31, 2016, we had $160.5 million in long-term debt (net of current maturities). The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest raterisk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including forward interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves)

derived from observable market interest rate forward curves. Changes in interest rates can cause interest charges to fluctuate on our variable rate debt.

On March 30, 2016, the Company and Prudential Capital ("the Lenders") together paid the $58.5 million principal balance of the $70 million secured term credit facility and the Company executed a series of agreements assigning the credit facility to CorEnergy Infrastructure Trust, Inc. as Agent for the Lenders. The facility was further modified to increase the LIBOR Rate to the greater of (i) 1.0% and (ii) the one-month LIBOR rate; and to increase the LIBOR Rate Spread to seven percent (7.0 percent) per annum. The Company also terminated the one-half of its original derivative contracts, leaving a $26.3 million derivative contract with Bank of America as of March 31, 2016.

Variable rate debt as of March 31, 2016, was $11.1 million under the Pinedale facility, $44.0 million under the Regions Revolver, and $42.3 million under the Regions Term Note. These variable rate debt instruments total $71.1 million of variable rate debt after giving effect to our $26.3 million interest rate swap at March 31, 2016. A 100 basis point increase or decrease in current LIBOR rates would result in a $268 thousand increase or decrease of interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016. As of March 31, 2016, the fair value of our hedge derivative liability totaled approximately $91 thousand. We estimate that the impact of a 100 basis point increase in the one-month LIBOR rate would increase the net hedged derivate instrument by $434 thousand, while a decrease of 100 basis points would decrease the net hedged derivative instrument by $288 thousand as of March 31, 2016.

We consider the management of risk essential to conducting our businesses. Accordingly, our risk management systems and procedures are designed to identify and analyze our risks, to set appropriate policies and limits and to continually monitor these risks and limits by means of reliable administrative and information systems and other policies and programs.
