Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
As previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Committee on November 4, 2016 (the “Initial Form 8-K”), on November 3, 2016, Energy 11 Operating Company, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy 11, L.P. (together, the “Partnership”), entered into an Exclusive Option Agreement (“Option Agreement”) with Kaiser-Whiting, LLC (“Kaiser-Whiting”), for the exclusive right and option (“Exclusive Option”) to purchase all issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Kaiser-Whiting (“Transferred Interests”), resulting in the option to purchase an approximate 11% non-operated working interest in approximately 216 existing producing wells and approximately 257 future development locations in the Sanish field located in Mountrail County, North Dakota (collectively, the “Sanish Field Assets”). The Partnership initially paid $1.0 million in cash for the Exclusive Option.

On December 29, 2016, the Partnership provided written notice and funded the exercise payment (“Exercise Payment”) of $9.0 million to Kaiser-Whiting to exercise the Exclusive Option, pursuant to the Option Agreement. By exercising the Exclusive Option, the Partnership, Kaiser-Whiting and the owners of all the limited liability company interests of Kaiser-Whiting have the right to enter into the Interest Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”) and close on the purchase of the Transferred Interests on or before January 11, 2017 (“Closing Date”).

Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the purchase price for the Transferred Interests is $130.0 million. If all of the conditions to closing are met and a closing occurs, it is anticipated the purchase price will be funded by the application of the payments previously made ($10.0 million, collectively, the “Deposit”), payment of approximately $80.0 million in additional cash and delivery of a promissory note (“Note”) payable to the manager of Kaiser-Whiting in an original principal amount equal to $40.0 million. The Note would bear interest at 5% per annum and be payable no later than April 30, 2017 (“Maturity Date”). The Partnership would have the right to extend the Maturity Date up to October 31, 2017, subject to the Partnership’s compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Note. The final settlement purchase price would be subject to the customary post-closing adjustments, as defined and identified in the Purchase Agreement.

In the event the transaction does not close due to a breach by Kaiser-Whiting or if the aggregate value of any title defects and casualty losses exceeds 10% of the unadjusted initial purchase price, the Deposit will be refunded to the Partnership. If the Partnership does not perform under the contract as a result of our diligence review or breaches the Purchase Agreement, Kaiser-Whiting’s sole remedy against the Partnership is the retention of the Deposit.

The Partnership currently owns an approximate 11% non-operated working interest in the Sanish Field Assets, so if all conditions to closing are met under the Purchase Agreement, the Partnership’s working interest in the Sanish Field Assets would increase to approximately 22-23%. Whiting Petroleum Corporation (NYSE:WLL), a publicly traded oil and gas company, operates the Sanish Field Assets.

The description of the Option Agreement and the Purchase Agreement set forth above is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Partnership’s Initial Form 8-K, which includes the Option Agreement as Exhibit 2.1.

Item 8.01.  Other Events

Status of the Offering

In December 2016, the Partnership closed on the issuance of approximately 2,241,872 common units at $20.00 per common unit through its on-going best-efforts offering, representing gross proceeds to the Partnership of approximately $44.8 million and proceeds net of selling commissions and marketing expenses of approximately $42.1 million. As of December 29, 2016, the Partnership has completed the sale of a total of 14.6 million common units for total gross proceeds of $286.4 million and proceeds net of selling commissions and marketing expenses of $269.2 million. As of December 29, 2016, 85,680,195 units remain unsold.

Under the terms of the prospectus, the offering was set to expire upon the sooner of (1) the date all common units had been sold or (2) January 23, 2017, unless the offering was extended by the General Partner. In December 2016, the General Partner extended the offering for three additional months, as provided by the prospectus. As a result, the best-efforts offering will continue until all common units offered under the prospectus have been sold or until April 24, 2017, whichever occurs sooner.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT



To the Members
Kaiser-Whiting, LLC

Report on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Kaiser-Whiting, LLC which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, and the related statements of income (loss), members’ equity, and cash flows for each of the years then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements.

Management’s Responsibility for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.  In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kaiser-Whiting, LLC as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, and the results of its
1

operations and its cash flows for each of the years then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Other Matter

Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic financial statements as a whole.  The supplemental oil and gas information in Note 6 is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the financial statements.  Such information has not been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the financial statements, and accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any assurance on it.

KAISER-WHITING, LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (unaudited) and
Years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013

Note 1 – Business and Basis of Presentation

Business

Kaiser-Whiting, LLC (the Company) is a limited liability company created on June 4, 2009, for the purpose of drilling and producing oil, gas and natural gas liquids.  The Company is primarily owned by George B. Kaiser (Kaiser), and entities which he controls provide management and administrative services to the Company.  The Company has no employees.

On June 4, 2009, the Company, through its manager, entered into a Participation Agreement (Agreement) with Whiting Oil and Gas Corporation (Whiting) under which the Company agreed to acquire and participate in the drilling of 12,784.9 net mineral acres in Mountrail County, North Dakota.  Under the terms of the Agreement, Whiting operates the wells and the Company pays 65% of the working interest costs and expenses associated with drilling and completing the first and second wells on 51 unit locations and 50% on all subsequent wells to earn 50% of Whiting’s revenue interest in the wells.  Whiting also reserves an overriding royalty interest equal to the difference between the total lease burden and 20% on most unit locations.

Effective June 1, 2014, Kaiser and other affiliated individuals contributed property interests in four 1,280 acre units in Mountrail County, North Dakota to the Company for Class B interests.  The wells on these properties are operated by Whiting.  The properties were contributed at the cost basis of affiliated individuals, less applicable depletion and asset retirement obligations assumed, which was $40.7 million.

On October 5, 2014, the members of the Company entered into an agreement with Natural Resource Partners LP through its subsidiary, NRP Oil and Gas LLC (NRP), to sell 40% of the Company’s equity interests for a purchase price of $340.0 million in cash, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.  Immediately after the close of this transaction, NRP withdrew as a member of the Company and was distributed 40% of the producing and nonproducing oil and gas properties the Company owns in Mountrail County, North Dakota.  The property distributed was recorded at its fair value, estimated at the $340.0 million purchase price for the membership units exchanged.  The Company recognized a gain of $196.2 million on this transaction.

On September 15, 2015, the members of the Company (Sellers) entered into an agreement with Energy 11, L.P. through its subsidiary, Energy 11 Operating Company LLC (E11), to sell 50% of the Company’s then-existing membership interests for $162.0 million in cash plus deferred purchase payments, if future oil prices exceed defined levels, subject to customary purchase price adjustments.  In connection with the closing of the sale on December 18, 2015, the parties entered into the First Amendment to the Purchase Agreement, which reduced the purchase price by approximately $2.5 million cash flow from the effective date of the agreement to closing.  The purchase price terms, as modified, were $60.0 million in cash paid at closing plus two additional guaranteed annual payments of $1.0 million each, a note in the amount of $97.5 million payable to the Sellers and the deferred purchase consideration, if applicable.  Additionally, the First Amendment gave E11 a one-time right in June 2016, as long as note payments were current, to
7

satisfy the contingent payment obligation by either a cash payment or increase of the note by $5.0 million.  Immediately after the close of this transaction, E11 withdrew as a member of the Company and was distributed 50% of the producing and nonproducing oil and gas properties the company owns in Mountrail County, North Dakota.  The property distributed was recorded at its fair value, estimated at the $160 million adjusted purchase price for member units exchanged reduced for anticipated additional purchase adjustments.  The Company recognized a gain of $46.7 million on this transaction.

On November 3, 2016, the members of the Company entered into an Exclusive Option Agreement with E11 for the exclusive right and option to purchase all issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of the Company.  E11 made a cash payment of $1 million at time of option and, to exercise, must make an additional $9 million payment on or before December 30, 2016.  Should E11 exercise the option and make the exercise payment, the parties would enter into a Purchase Agreement, with an anticipated closing on or before January 11, 2017.  Under the Purchase Agreement, sales price is $130 million less the exercise payment and closing adjustments, if any.  The Purchase Agreement requires a minimum cash payment of $40 million, net of exercise payment, to be made at close date, and the remainder of the purchase price to be financed through a promissory note bearing interest at 5% per annum and due by April 30, 2017.  Subject to terms and conditions of the note, E11 will have the right to extend the note up to October 31, 2017.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements include only the accounts, results of operations and cash flows of the Company.  No affiliates were combined in this financial statement presentation.

Revenues in the accompanying statements of income are recognized on the sales method.  Direct operating expenses are recognized on the accrual method and consist of monthly operator overhead and other direct costs of operating the Company’s properties.  Included in lease operating costs are costs associated with field operating expenses, workovers and monthly operator overhead.

Members of the LLC are generally not liable for any debts, liabilities or obligations of the Company beyond their equity accounts.

Note 2 – Unaudited Interim Financial Information

The accompanying interim financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, are unaudited.  The unaudited interim financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.  In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary to state fairly the interim financial statements for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.  The financial statements for the interim periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2016, or any future periods.

Note 3 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Accrued revenues

Accrued revenues represent the estimated amounts of sales, net of production taxes, which have been earned but not received.
8


Revenue recognition

Revenues associated with the sale of crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids are recorded when title passes to the purchaser.  Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company pays only its proportionate working-interest share of production taxes and gathering costs associated with operations.

Advance with affiliate

The Company has an arrangement with Kaiser-Francis Management Company (KFMC), primarily owned by Kaiser, under which KFMC provides all treasury functions, including the payments of bills and collection of revenues from Whiting.  Additionally, KFMC distributes or bills members of the Company for the monthly net cash flow from operations.  The advance to affiliate balances represent the timing difference between activity processed through KFMC and the billing or distribution, which generally occurs two months later.

General and administrative expenses

KFMC provides management and administrative services at an estimated value of $100,000 per year to the Company.  The cost is recorded as additional member contributions.  Other reported general and administrative costs are primarily for legal expenses and bank fees.

Income taxes

As a limited liability company, the Company’s taxable income or loss is allocated to its members.  Therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes has been included in the financial statements.

The Company accrues for uncertain tax positions that management has evaluated as probable of resulting in tax obligations if the tax positions were examined by tax authorities.  No tax obligations are accrued at December 31, 2015, 2014 or 2013, or September 30, 2016 or 2015.

Asset retirement obligations

The Company recognizes liabilities for retirement obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction and development of the assets.  The Company recognizes the fair value of a liability for a retirement obligation in the period in which the liability is incurred.  For oil and gas properties, this is the period in which an oil or gas well is acquired or drilled.  The liability is then accreted each period until the liability is settled or the well is sold, at which time the liability is removed.  The related asset retirement cost is capitalized as part of the carrying amount of oil and gas properties (see Note 5).

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosed contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Subsequent events

Management has evaluated subsequent events through January 5, 2017, the date the financial statements were available to be issued.

Note 4 – Oil and Gas Properties and Equipment

The Company follows the full-cost method under which all costs associated with the exploration and development of crude oil and natural gas properties are capitalized into a single cost center (the full-cost pool).  These costs include land acquisition and costs of drilling and equipping wells.  The Company does not capitalize general and administrative costs.  Costs associated with production and general corporate activities are expensed in the period incurred.  The Company’s leasehold interests are all in North Dakota.

Proceeds from property sales are generally credited to the full-cost pool, with no gain or loss recognized, unless such a sale would involve a sale of 25% or more of the proved reserves related to a single full-cost pool.  In the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, as well as the nine months ended September 30, 2016, there were no sales credited to the Company’s full-cost pool.  See Note 1 for a description of the transactions that resulted in a distribution of oil and gas properties from the Company.

Capitalized costs of proved property are amortized on the unit of production method using estimates of proved reserves.  From January 1, 2013 through September 30, 2016, all capitalized costs related to the proved reserves.

The Company performs a ceiling test calculation at each year-end in which it assesses the recoverable value of proved reserves and compares it to the capitalized cost, net of accumulated depletion and depreciation, plus the estimated future development costs and asset retirement costs.  At December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, there were no costs within properties and equipment that were excluded from the ceiling test calculation.  For the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized an impairment adjustment of its properties of approximately $36.3 million.  There were no impairment adjustments in 2016, 2014 or 2013.

Note 5 – Asset Retirement Obligations

The Company’s future asset retirement obligations were estimated based on the Company’s working interest share of estimated costs to abandon and reclaim its wells, and the estimated timing of the costs to be incurred in future periods.  The estimated future obligation, using a credit adjusted risk-free interest rate of 6% and an inflation rate of 2%, is computed at the date each additional obligation is incurred and accreted thereafter.  The capitalized cost associated with the liability is included in the full-cost pool.  The Company has no assets that are legally restricted for purposes of settling asset retirement obligations.  No settlements of asset retirement obligations have occurred during the years presented.

The following table summarizes changes in the Company’s asset retirement obligation (amounts in thousands):

Note 6 – Supplemental Oil and Gas Information (Unaudited)

The following reserve estimates present the Company’s estimate of the proven natural gas and oil reserves and net cash flow of the Company’s properties in accordance with the guidelines established by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  These reserve estimates were prepared by KFMC personnel.  The Company emphasizes that reserve estimates are inherently imprecise and that estimates of new discoveries are more imprecise than those of producing natural gas and oil properties.  Accordingly, the estimates are expected to change as future information becomes available.  All the oil and gas reserves are in North Dakota.

The standardized measure of discounted cash flows relating to oil and natural gas reserves and associated changes in standard measure amounts were prepared in accordance with the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification 932-235, Extractive Activities – Oil and Gas.  Future cash inflows were computed by applying average prices of crude oil and natural gas for the last 12 months to estimated future production.  Future production and development costs were computed by estimating the expenditures to be incurred in developing the crude oil and natural gas reserves at the end of the year, based on year-end costs and assuming continuation of existing economic conditions.  Future net cash flows are discounted at the rate of 10% annually to derive the standardized measure of discounted cash flows.  Actual future cash inflows may vary considerably, and the standardized measure

does not necessarily represent the fair value of the Company’s crude oil and natural gas reserves.  Standard measure amounts are:

Estimates of economically recoverable natural gas and oil reserves and of future net revenues are based upon a number of variable factors and assumptions, all of which are to some degree subjective and may vary considerably from actual results.  Therefore, actual production, revenues, development and operating expenditures may not occur as estimated.  The reserve data are estimates only, are subject to many uncertainties and are based on data gained from production histories and on assumptions as to geologic formations and other matters.  Actual quantities of natural gas and oil may differ materially from the amounts estimated.

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements
 
Introduction
 
On December 29, 2016, Energy 11 Operating Company, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Energy 11, L.P. (“the Partnership”), exercised its exclusive option (“Option”) by and among Kaiser-Whiting, LLC (“Seller”) and the owners of all the limited liability company interests therein, for the purchase of an additional approximate 11% working interest in approximately 216 existing producing wells and approximately 257 future development locations in the Sanish field located in Mountrail County, North Dakota (collectively, the “Sanish Field Assets”). Pursuant to the Option, the purchase price for the Sanish Field Assets is $130.0 million. Funding for the acquisition is planned to be a combination of cash available on hand and the issuance of a promissory note to the Seller at closing, with an estimated principal balance of approximately $40.0 million.

On December 18, 2015, the Partnership closed on its first purchase (“Initial Acquisition”) of the Sanish Field Assets, whereby the Partnership acquired an approximate 11% working interest in the Sanish Field Assets from the Seller. The Partnership funded the acquisition with a combination of cash available on hand and the issuance of a promissory note to the Seller at closing. Total consideration for the Initial Acquisition was approximately $159.1 million.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements have been prepared to give pro forma effect to the acquisitions (the Option and Initial Acquisition), which have been and will be accounted for as a business combination, as if the acquisitions, the related financing transactions, consisting of proceeds from the Partnership's ongoing public offering of the Partnership's common units and the issuance of the borrowings had occurred on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements also give effect to converting the Seller's historical financial statements from the full cost method to the successful efforts method. Due to the nature of the acquired assets, the depletion and impairment calculation is the only material change.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements include a balance sheet as of September 30, 2016 and statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 and the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet was derived from the historical unaudited balance sheet of the Partnership as of September 30, 2016.  The pro forma condensed combined statements of operations were derived from the Partnership’s historical audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015, from the Partnership’s unaudited interim financial statements for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 and from the Seller’s historical financial statements.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet gives effect to the Option (since the acquisition is considered probable) and related financing transactions as if they occurred on September 30, 2016. No adjustments have been made for the Initial Acquisition since it is reflected in the historical balance sheet of the Partnership. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 give effect to the acquisitions and related financing transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2015.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the accompanying unaudited pro forma notes should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s historical financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2015, and for the period ended September 30, 2016, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, together with the audited balance sheets and income statements of Kaiser-Whiting, LLC for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 and the unaudited balance sheets and income statements of Kaiser-Whiting LLC for the periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements presented herein are based on the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying unaudited pro forma notes.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are presented for illustrative purposes and are not indicative of what the financial position might have been or what results of operations might have achieved had the acquisition and related transactions occurred as of the dates indicated or the financial position or results of operations that might be achieved for any future periods.

1. Basis of Presentation
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet of the Partnership as of September 30, 2016, gives effect to the probable acquisition of the additional 11% non-operated working interests in the Sanish Field Assets from Kaiser-Whiting, LLC and the related financing transactions, consisting of the completed sale of common units from the Partnership’s ongoing offering of 4.5 million common units raised subsequent to the Partnership’s unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet date of September 30, 2016, and before the Partnership’s filing of these unaudited pro forma financial statements, and the issuance by the Partnership of $40.0 million in debt, as though such transactions occurred at the close of business on September 30, 2016.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 and for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016 give effect to the acquisitions (the Option and Initial Acquisition) and related financing transactions as if they occurred on January 1, 2015.
 
On December 29, 2016, Energy 11 Operating Company, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary, exercised the exclusive option by and among Seller and the owners of all the limited liability company interests therein, for the purchase of an additional approximate 11% non-operated working interest in the Sanish Field Assets. In December 2015, the Partnership acquired its initial 11% interest in the Sanish Field Assets. The unaudited pro forma statements of operations reflect the results of operations as if the Partnership held the combined 22-23% non-operated working interest as of January 1, 2015. The amounts reflected as revenues and operating expenses in the column labeled "Kaiser-Whiting" for all periods presented are the revenues and expenses of the 22-23% working interest in the Sanish Field Assets through December 17, 2015 and the remaining 11% through September 30, 2016.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements were derived by adjusting the Partnership’s historical financial statements for the Initial Acquisition and the potential acquisition and related transactions.  The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are provided for informational purposes only and are not indicative of the Partnership’s financial position or results of operations had the transaction been consummated on the dates indicated or the financial position or results of operations for any future period or date.
 
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and the accompanying unaudited pro forma notes should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s historical audited financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the Partnership’s unaudited financial statements for the period ended September 30, 2016, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, together with the audited balance sheets and income statements of Kaiser-Whiting, LLC for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013 and the unaudited balance sheets and income statements of Kaiser-Whiting LLC for the periods ended September 30, 2016 and 2015.
 
2. Proved Reserves and Purchase Price Allocation
 
The acquisitions qualify as business combinations, and as such, the Partnership is required to estimate the fair value of the properties acquired in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board's authoritative guidance on business combinations. Although the Option gives the Partnership the exclusive right to acquire the additional 11% interest, the purchase is not complete and the purchase price allocation is not complete. The Partnership has initially estimated fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be approximately $130.0 million, which is considered to be representative of the price paid by a typical market participant. The purchase price of $130.0 million is reflected in the accompanying pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as Oil, natural gas and NGL interests, net. For purposes of estimating depletion in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations, the purchase price has been allocated to oil and gas properties on a combined basis using estimates of reserves.  The purchase price allocation is preliminary and assuming the second transaction is completed and the valuation is finalized, it could result in goodwill or a bargain purchase gain being recognized by the Partnership.
 
3. Pro Forma Adjustments

The pro forma adjustments made herein are based upon management’s preliminary estimates and assumptions that are subject to finalization. Should the acquisition be completed, the final allocation may differ materially from the estimates reflected in these pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

Adjustments to the pro forma condensed combined balance sheet

(A) – Reflects the anticipated consideration for the membership interests and anticipated purchase price allocation.  Incidental costs related to the transaction will be expensed as incurred.
5




(B) – Reflects the $40.0 million of net proceeds received from the assumed issuance of secured debt by the Seller.  

(C) – Reflects the net cash received with respect to the common units issued in a public offering of common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership subsequent to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet date of September 30, 2016, and before the filing of these pro forma financial statements. During this period, the Partnership sold approximately 4.5 million common units in the offering at a price of $20 per common unit, resulting in approximately $89.4 million in gross proceeds to the Partnership, and $84.1 million net of selling and marketing commissions.
 
(D) – Represents the elimination of the Seller's equity.

Adjustments to the pro forma condensed combined statements of operations

(E) – Kaiser-Whiting recognizes oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids revenues net of gathering and processing expenses; therefore, the pro forma adjustment reflects the reclassification of gathering and processing expenses from oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids revenues to reflect the same classification as the Partnership's financial statements.

(F) – Reflects the elimination of acquisition costs on the Partnership's historical statement of operations as these are nonrecurring charges directly attributable to the Initial Acquisition.

(G) – Reflects the elimination of the Seller's depletion and impairment (2015) of its oil, natural gas and NGL interests under the full cost method of accounting.

(H) – Reflects depletion calculated by allocation of the total purchase price to combined estimates of oil and gas reserves acquired based on historical reserve information and production quantities for each of the periods presented using the successful efforts method of accounting. There would be no impairment in 2015 using the Seller's historical cost basis under the successful efforts method of accounting.

(I) – Reflects actual interest expense incurred with the $97.5 million Seller loan issued with the Initial Acquisition and other interest expense incurred with the Initial Acquisition. The interest expense is reflected in the Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2015 as the Partnership extinguished the $97.5 million note within the first 12 months of the Initial Acquisition. As a result, interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was adjusted to $0 for the Initial Acquisition.

(J) – Reflects interest expense incurred on the $40.0 million secured debt anticipated to be issued in conjunction with the second acquisition at an annual interest rate of 5%.

(K) – Reflects the elimination of the Seller's gain associated with the Partnership's Initial Acquisition in December 2015.
 
(L) – Reflects the increase in weighted average shares for the shares issued subsequent to September 30, 2016 discussed in Adjustment (C).
