CASE NAME: Vanguard Natural Resources, LLC, et al. PETITION DATE: 2/1/2017
CASE NUMBER: 17-30560
MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT NOTES FOR APRIL 30, 2017
Basis of Presentation
HOUSTON DIVISION
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Debtors have been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly
reporting requirements of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Monthly Operating Report”). The Monthly
Operating Report is limited in scope, covers a limited time period and the schedules contained herein were not audited or reviewed by
independent accountants nor are they intended to reconcile to any financial statements otherwise prepared or distributed by the Debtors or any of
the Debtors’ affiliates. The unaudited financial statements have been derived from the books and records of the Debtors. Because the Debtors’
accounting systems, policies, and practices were developed with a view to producing consolidated financial reporting on a quarterly basis, rather
than by legal entity on a monthly basis, it is possible that not all assets or liabilities have been recorded at the correct legal entity of either the
Debtors or the non-Debtor affiliates. The Debtors reserve all rights to supplement or amend any schedules contained in this Monthly Operating
Report.
The information presented here is unaudited, subject to further review and material adjustments, and has not been subject to all procedures that
would typically be applied to financial information presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of
America (“U.S. GAAP”), including, but not limited to, accruals, impairment adjustments, fair value assessments, tax provision, and other
recurring adjustments considered necessary by management to fairly state the financial position and results of operations for the interim
period(s) presented. Upon the application of such procedures, the Debtors believe that the financial information could be subject to changes, and
these changes could be material. The information furnished in this Monthly Operating Report includes normal recurring adjustments, but does
not include all of the adjustments that would typically be made for interim financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
As part of their restructuring efforts, the Debtors are reviewing their assets and liabilities on an ongoing basis, including without limitation with
respect to intercompany claims and obligations, and nothing contained in this Monthly Operating Report shall constitute a waiver of any of the
Debtors’ rights with respect to such assets, liabilities, claims and obligations that may exist.
The Debtors caution readers not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in this Monthly Operating Report. The results herein are
not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected from any other period or for the full year and may not necessarily reflect the
combined results and financial position of the Debtors in the future.

CASE NUMBER: 17-30560
MONTHLY OPERATING REPORT NOTES FOR APRIL 30, 2017
HOUSTON DIVISION
Treatment of Intercompany Transactions
Treatment of Certain Liabilities and GAAP Disclosures
The Debtors have not made any determination that tax refunds or attributes are assets or liabilities of a particular Debtor and the Debtors reserve
all of their rights on this issue.
Pursuant to the Interim Order (I) Authorizing Continued Use of Existing Bank Accounts, Business Forms, and Cash Management System, (II)
Addressing Requirements of Section 345 of the Bankruptcy Code, and (III) Authorizing Continuation of Intercompany Transfers [Docket No.
57], the Debtors have kept detailed information on all post-Petition Date transfers of cash among the Debtors for the period covered by the
Monthly Operating Report, as described in further detail in this Report.
As a result of the chapter 11 filings, the payment of prepetition indebtedness is subject to compromise or other treatment under a plan of
reorganization. The determination of how liabilities will ultimately be settled or treated cannot be made until the Bankruptcy Court approves a
chapter 11 plan of reorganization. Accordingly, the ultimate amount of such liabilities is not determinable at this time. ASC 852 requires
prepetition liabilities that are subject to compromise to be reported at the amounts expected to be allowed as claims, even if they may be settled
for lesser amounts. The amounts currently classified as liabilities subject to compromise are preliminary and may be subject to future
adjustments depending on Court actions, further developments with respect to disputed claims, determinations of the secured status of certain
claims, the values of any collateral securing such claims, rejection of executory contracts, continued reconciliation or other events.
The Monthly Operating Report does not contain all disclosures that would be required for presentation in accordance with US GAAP and there
can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor, the Monthly Operating Report contains information that
would be typical of financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. For instance, for the period commencing on the
Petition Date and thereafter, the company stopped accrued interest on both series of the Senior Notes until further review of these obligations is
completed.
The Debtors’ consolidated financial statements in this report have been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates continuity of
operations, realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Certain prepetition liabilities have been
reclassified as liabilities subject to compromise. Liabilities subject to compromise currently include, among other things, funded debt obligations
and amounts due to third parties for goods and services received prior to the Petition Date. The Debtors continue to analyze and reconcile these
amounts, and, therefore, the amounts reflected herein are current estimates and subject to material change as additional analysis and decisions
are completed.

Treatment of Non-Debtor Entities
Reservation of Rights
Reservation of Rights: Given the complexity of the Debtors’ business, inadvertent errors, omissions or over inclusion of contracts or leases may
have occurred. Accordingly, the Debtors hereby reserve all of their rights to dispute the validity, status, enforceability, or executory nature of
any claim amount, representation or other statement in this Monthly Operating Report and reserve the right to amend or supplement this
Monthly Operating Report, if necessary, but shall be under no obligation to do so.
ASC 852 requires expenses and income directly associated with the chapter 11 filings to be reported separately in the income statement as
reorganization items. Reorganization items includes write off of discount, premium, debt issuance costs, and derivatives associated with long-
term debt, expenses related to legal advisory and representation services, other professional consulting and advisory services, estimates of claims
allowed related to legal matters and rejected executory contracts and changes in liabilities subject to compromise recognized as there are changes
in amounts expected to be allowed as claims.
Vanguard Natural Resources, LLC owns beneficial interest in Potato Hills Gas Gathering System (“Potato Hills”). The financial statements
stated within this Monthly Operating Report exclude the impact of Potato Hills as it is not a debtor entity in these Chapter 11 cases. In addition,
the financial statements and the supplemental information contained herein represent the financial information for the Debtors only. Non-Debtor
affiliates are not included in the financial statements and supplemental information contained in this Monthly Operating Report.
