NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION

We are a publicly traded (OTCQX: ATLS) Delaware limited liability company formed in October 2011. Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “Atlas Energy Group, LLC,” “the Company,” “we,” “us,” “our” and “our company,” refer to Atlas Energy Group, LLC, and our consolidated subsidiaries.

Our operations primarily consist of our ownership interests in the following:

At June 30, 2017, we had 31,973,122 common units issued and outstanding.

ARP Restructuring and Emergence from Chapter 11 Proceedings

On July 25, 2016, we, solely with respect to certain sections thereof, along with ARP and certain of its subsidiaries, entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Restructuring Support Agreement”) with certain of ARP’s and such subsidiaries’ lenders (the “Restructuring Support Parties”) to support ARP’s restructuring pursuant to a pre-packaged plan of reorganization (the “Plan”).

On July 27, 2016, ARP and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 11”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court,” and the cases commenced thereby, the “Chapter 11 Filings”). The cases commenced thereby were jointly administered under the caption “In re: ATLAS RESOURCE PARTNERS, L.P., et al.”

On August 26, 2016, an order confirming the Plan was entered by the Bankruptcy Court. On September 1, 2016, (the “Plan Effective Date”), pursuant to the Plan, the following occurred:

10

We were not a party to ARP’s Restructuring. We remain controlled by the same ownership group and management team and thus, ARP’s Restructuring did not have a material impact on the ability of management to operate us or our other businesses.

NOTE 2—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission regarding interim financial reporting  and include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows for the periods shown, including normal, recurring accruals and other items. The consolidated results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. For a more complete discussion of our accounting policies and certain other information, refer to our consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31 2016.

We determined that ARP (through the Plan Effective Date, as discussed further below) and AGP are variable interest entities (“VIE’s”) based on their respective partnership agreements, our power, as the general partner, to direct the activities that most significantly impact each of their respective economic performance, and our ownership of each of their respective incentive distribution rights. Accordingly, we consolidated the financial statements of ARP (until the date of ARP’s Chapter 11 Filings, as discussed further below) and AGP into our condensed consolidated financial statements. Our consolidated VIE’s operating results and asset balances are presented separately in Note 10 – Operating Segment Information. As the general partner for both ARP (through the Plan Effective Date) and AGP, we have unlimited liability for the obligations of ARP (through the Plan Effective Date) and AGP except for those contractual obligations that are expressly made without recourse to the general partner. The non-controlling interests in ARP (through the date of ARP’s Chapter 11 Filings, as discussed further below) and AGP are reflected as (income) loss attributable to non-controlling interests in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and as a component of unitholders’ equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

In connection with ARP’s Chapter 11 Filings on July 27, 2016, we deconsolidated ARP’s financial statements from our condensed consolidated financial statements, as we no longer had the power to direct the activities that most significantly impacted ARP’s economic performance; however, we retained the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating

11

and financial decisions of ARP and therefore applied the equity method of accounting for our investment in ARP up to the Plan Effective Date. As a result of these changes, our condens ed consolidated financial statements subsequent to ARP’s Chapter 11 Filings will not be comparable to our condensed consolidated financial statements prior to ARP’s Chapter 11 Filings. Our financial results for future periods following the application of e quity method accounting will be different from historical trends and the differences may be material.

Certain reclassifications have been made to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior year periods to conform to classifications used in the current year, specifically related to ARP’s Drilling Partnerships management, which includes all of ARP’s managing and operating activities specific to ARP’s Drilling Partnerships including well construction and completion, administration and oversight, well services and gathering and processing. We previously presented these revenue and expense items separately; however, due to the deconsolidation of ARP on the date of the Chapter 11 Filings, we have aggregated these items to be presented as one combined revenue item and one combined expense item. As a result of this change, we have restated our prior year condensed consolidated statements of operations to conform to our current presentation.

In accordance with established practice in the oil and gas industry, our condensed consolidated financial statements include our pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, income and lease operating and general and administrative costs and expenses of the Drilling Partnerships in which ARP has an interest through the date of ARP’s Chapter 11 Filings. Such interests generally approximated 30%. Our condensed consolidated financial statements do not include proportional consolidation of the depletion or impairment expenses of the Drilling Partnerships through the date of ARP’s Chapter 11 Filings. Rather, ARP calculated these items specific to its own economics through the date of ARP’s Chapter 11 Filings.

On the Plan Effective Date, we determined that Titan is a VIE based on its limited liability company agreement and the delegation of management and omnibus agreements between Titan and Titan Management, which provide us the power to direct activities that most significantly impact Titan’s economic performance, but we do not have a controlling financial interest. As a result, we do not consolidate Titan but rather apply the equity method of accounting as we have the ability to exercise significant influence over Titan’s operating and financial decisions.

Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash distributions received with respect to our ownership interests in AGP, Lightfoot, and Titan and AGP’s annual management fee. However, neither Titan nor AGP are currently paying distributions.  Our primary cash requirements, in addition to normal operating expenses, are for debt service and capital expenditures, which we expect to fund through operating cash flow, and cash distributions received. Accordingly, our sources of liquidity are currently not sufficient to satisfy our obligations under our credit agreements.

The significant risks and uncertainties related to our primary sources of liquidity raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to remain in compliance with the covenants under our credit agreements (as described in Note 4), absent relief from our lenders, we maybe be forced to repay or refinance such indebtedness. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the lenders under our credit agreements could elect to declare all amounts outstanding immediately due and payable and could terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If an event of default occurs, we will not have sufficient liquidity to repay all of our outstanding indebtedness, and as a result, there would be substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. In addition to the $40.1 million of indebtedness due on September 30, 2017, we classified the remaining $51.4 million of outstanding indebtedness under our credit agreements as a current liability, based on the uncertainty regarding future covenant compliance. In total, we have $90.3 million of outstanding indebtedness under our credit agreements, which is net of $1.1 million of debt discounts and $0.1 million of deferred financing costs, as current portion of long term debt, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017.

We continually monitor our capital markets and capital structures and may make changes from time to time, with the goal of maintaining financial flexibility, preserving or improving liquidity, strengthening the balance sheet, meeting debt service obligations and/or achieving cost efficiency. For example, we could pursue options such as refinancing or reorganizing our indebtedness or capital structure or seek to raise additional capital through debt or equity financing to address our liquidity concerns and high debt levels. There is no certainty that we will be able to implement any such options, and we cannot provide any assurances that any refinancing or changes to our debt or equity capital structure would be possible or that additional equity or debt financing could be obtained on acceptable terms, if at all, and such options may result in a wide range of outcomes for our stakeholders, including cancellation of debt income (“CODI”) which would be directly allocated to our unitholders and reported on such unitholders’ separate returns. It is possible additional adjustments to our strategic plan and outlook may occur based on market conditions and our needs at that time, which could include selling assets or seeking additional partners to develop our assets.

12

Our condensed consolidated financia l statements have been prepared on a going concern basis of accounting, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of assets, and satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. Our condensed consolidated financi al statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of the going concern uncertainty. If we cannot continue as a going concern, adjustments to the carrying values and classification of our assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of income and expenses could be required and could be material.

Atlas Growth Partners – Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

AGP has historically funded its operations, acquisitions and cash distributions primarily through cash generated from operations and financing activities, including its private placement offering completed in 2015. AGP’s future cash flows are subject to a number of variables, including oil and natural gas prices. Prices for oil and natural gas began to decline significantly during the fourth quarter of 2014 and continue to remain low in 2017. These lower commodity prices have negatively impacted AGP’s revenues, earnings and cash flows. Sustained low commodity prices will have a material and adverse effect on AGP’s liquidity position.

On November 2, 2016, AGP decided to temporarily suspend its current primary offering efforts in light of new regulations and the challenging fund raising environment until such time as market participants have had an opportunity to ascertain the impact of such issues. In addition, AGP’s board of directors suspended its quarterly common unit distributions, beginning with the three months ended September 30, 2016, in order to retain its cash flow and reinvest in its business and assets. Accordingly, these decisions raise substantial doubt about AGP’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management determined that substantial doubt is alleviated through management’s plans to reduce AGP’s general and administrative expenses, the majority of which represent allocations from us.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities that exist at the date of our condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and costs and expenses during the reporting periods. Our condensed consolidated financial statements are based on a number of significant estimates, including revenue and expense accruals, depletion of gas and oil properties, and fair value of derivative instruments. The oil and gas industry principally conducts its business by processing actual transactions as many as 60 days after the month of delivery. Consequently, the most recent two months’ financial results were recorded using estimated volumes and contract market prices. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Equity Method Investments

Investment in Titan . At June 30, 2017, we had a 2% Series A Preferred interest in Titan. We account for our investment under the equity method of accounting due to our ability to exercise significant influence.  As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the net carrying amount of our investment in Titan was $0.4 million and zero, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized equity loss of $0.1 million and equity income of $0.4 million, respectively, within other, net on our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Investment in Lightfoot. At June 30, 2017, we had an approximate 12.0% interest in Lightfoot L.P. and an approximate 15.9% interest in Lightfoot G.P., the general partner of Lightfoot L.P. We account for our investment in Lightfoot under the equity method of accounting due to our ability to exercise significant influence. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the net carrying amount of our investment in Lightfoot was $18.5 million and $18.7 million, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized equity income of $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, within other, net on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized equity income of $0.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, within other, net on our condensed consolidated statement of operations. During the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we received net cash distributions of approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we received net cash distributions of approximately $0.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

13

Rabbi T rust

In 2011, we established an excess 401(k) plan relating to certain executives. In connection with the plan, we established a “rabbi” trust for the contributed amounts. At June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we reflected $2.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively, related to the value of the rabbi trust within other assets, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheets, and recorded corresponding liabilities of $2.2 million and $4.2 million, respectively, as of those same dates, within asset retirement obligations and other on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we distributed $2.1 million and $2.3 million, respectively, to certain executives related to the rabbi trust.

Accrued Liabilities

We had $8.1 million and $10.6 million of accrued payroll and benefit items at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively, which were included within accrued liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Shard Based Compensation Plans

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, 739,350 phantom units under the 2015 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2015 LTIP”) were forfeited, primarily due to Titan’s completion of the majority of the sale of its Appalachian assets and reductions in force, which resulted in a $2.3 million reversal of previously recognized stock compensation expense recognized in general and administrative expenses on our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Conversion of Series A Preferred Units

On May 5, 2017, the holders of all 1.9 million of our outstanding Series A Preferred Units elected to convert their units into 5.9 million common units.

Net Income (Loss) Per Common Unit

Basic net income (loss) attributable to common unitholders per unit is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common unitholders, which is determined after the deduction of net income attributable to participating securities and the preferred unitholders’ interests, if applicable, by the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period.

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

Diluted net income (loss) attributable to common unitholders per unit is calculated by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common unitholders, less income allocable to participating securities, by the sum of the weighted average number of common unitholder units outstanding and the dilutive effect of unit option awards and convertible preferred units,

14

as calculated by the treasury stock or if converted methods, as applicable. Unit options consist of common units issuable upon payment of an exercise price by the participant under the terms of our long-term incentive plan.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of our weighted average number of common units used to compute basic net loss attributable to common unitholders per unit with those used to compute diluted net loss attributable to common unitholders per unit (in thousands):

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) updated the accounting guidance related to leases. The updated accounting guidance requires lessees to recognize a lease asset and liability at the commencement date of all leases (with the exception of short-term leases), initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. The updated guidance is effective for us as of January 1, 2019 and requires a modified retrospective transition approach for leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest period presented. We are currently in the process of determining the impact that the updated accounting guidance will have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to revenue recognition. The updated accounting guidance provides a single, contract-based revenue recognition model to help improve financial reporting by providing clearer guidance on when an entity should recognize revenue, and by reducing the number of standards to which an entity has to refer. In July 2015, the FASB voted to defer the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017 for annual reporting periods beginning after that date. We intend to adopt the new standard using the modified retrospective method, which is expected to have an immaterial impact to our financial statements. The accounting guidance will require that our revenue recognition policy disclosures include further detail regarding our performance obligations as to the nature, amount, timing, and estimates of revenue and cash flows generated from our contracts with customers.

15

As of June 30, 2017, we did not have any non-cash investing activity capital expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized $18.7 million of non-cash investing activities capital expenditures, which were reflected within the changes in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.  

We capitalized interest on ARP’s borrowed funds related to capital projects only for periods that activities were in progress to bring these projects to their intended use. The weighted average interest rates used to capitalize interest on combined borrowed funds by ARP were 6.6% and 6.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 respectively. The aggregate amount of interest capitalized by ARP was $2.4 million $4.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 we recorded $1.7 million and $3.3, respectively, of ARP’s accretion expense related to asset retirement obligations within depreciation, depletion and amortization in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Cash Interest. Cash payments for interest were $0.2 million and $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively and $0.4 million and $55.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Credit Agreements

First Lien Credit Agreement . On March 30, 2016, we, together with New Atlas Holdings, LLC (the “Borrower”) and Atlas Lightfoot, LLC, entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to our credit agreement with Riverstone Credit Partners, L.P., as administrative agent (“Riverstone”), and the lenders (the “Lenders”) from time to time party thereto (the “First Lien Credit Agreement”).

16

The outstanding loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement were bifurcated between the existing First Lien Credit Agreement and the new Second Lien Credit Agreement (defined below), with $35.0 million and $35.8 million (including $2.4 million in deemed prepayment premium) in borrowings outstanding, respectively. As a result of these transactions, we recog nized $6.1 million as a loss on early extinguishment of debt, consisting of the $2.4 million prepayment penalty and $3.7 million of accelerated amortization of deferring financing costs, on our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the six mon ths ended June 30, 2016. The Third Amendment amended the First Lien Credit Agreement to, among other things:

On October 6, 2016, we entered into a fourth amendment to the First Lien Credit Agreement with Riverstone and the Lenders, effective as of September 1, 2016, that makes conforming changes to reflect the status of Titan as the successor to ARP following the consummation of the Chapter 11 Filings and also removed the financial covenants and related cross-defaults that had previously been incorporated from ARP’s credit agreement.

Second Lien Credit Agreement. Also on March 30, 2016, we and the Borrower entered into a new second lien credit agreement (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”) with Riverstone and the Lenders. As described above, $35.8 million of the indebtedness previously outstanding under the First Lien Credit Agreement was moved under the Second Lien Credit Agreement. The Second Lien Credit Agreement also has an unamortized discount of $1.1 million as of June 30, 2017, related to the 4,668,044 warrants issued in connection with the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

The Second Lien Credit Agreement matures on March 30, 2019, subject to an optional extension (the “Extension Option”) to March 30, 2020, assuming certain conditions are met, including a Total Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Second Lien Credit Agreement) of not more than 6:00 to 1:00 and a 5% extension fee. Borrowings under the Second Lien Credit Agreement are secured on a second priority basis by security interests in the same collateral that secures borrowings under the First Lien Credit Agreement.

Borrowings under the Second Lien Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate of 30%, payable in-kind through an increase in the outstanding principal. If the First Lien Credit Agreement is repaid in full prior to March 30, 2018, the rate will be reduced to 20%. If the Extension Option is exercised, the rate will again be increased to 30%. If our market capitalization is greater than $75 million, we can issue common units in lieu of increasing the principal to satisfy the interest obligation.

The Borrower may prepay the borrowings under the Second Lien Credit Agreement without premium at any time. The Second Lien Credit Agreement includes the same mandatory prepayment events as the First Lien Credit Agreement, subject to the Borrower’s discretion to prepay either the First Lien Credit Agreement or the Second Lien Credit Agreement.

17

The Second Lien Credit Agreement contains the same negative and affirmative covenants and events of default as the First Lien Credit Agreement, including customary covenants that limit the Borrower’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, make loans or investments, make distributions if a default ex ists or would result from the distribution, merge into or consolidate with other persons, enter into swap agreements that do not conform to specified terms or that exceed specified amounts, or engage in certain asset dispositions. In addition, the Second L ien Credit Agreement requires that we maintain an Asset Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Second Lien Credit Agreement) of not less than 2.00 to 1.00 as of September 30, 2017 and each fiscal quarter ending thereafter.

In connection with the First Lien Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement, the lenders thereunder continued their syndicated participation in the underlying loans consistent with the original term loan facilities and therefore certain of the Company’s current and former officers participated in approximately 12% of the loan syndication and warrants and a foundation affiliated with a 5% or more unitholder participated in approximately 12% of the loan syndication.

On October 6, 2016, we entered into a first amendment to the Second Lien Credit Agreement with Riverstone and the Lenders, effective as of September 1, 2016, that makes conforming changes to reflect the status of Titan as the successor to ARP following the consummation of the Chapter 11 Filings and also removes the financial covenants and related cross-defaults that had previously been incorporated from ARP’s credit agreement.

In addition to the $40.1 million of amounts outstanding under our First Lien Credit Agreement due on September 30, 2017, we classified the $51.4 million of amounts outstanding our Second Lien Credit Agreement as a current liability, based on the uncertainty regarding future covenant compliance. In total, we have $90.3 million of outstanding indebtedness under our credit agreements, which is net of $1.1 million of debt discounts and $0.1 million of deferred financing costs, as current portion of long term debt, net on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017.

NOTE 5—DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

We use a number of different derivative instruments, principally swaps and options, in connection with our commodity price risk management activities.  We do not apply hedge accounting to any of our derivative instruments. As a result, gains and losses associated with derivative instruments are recognized in earnings.

We enter into commodity future option contracts to achieve more predictable cash flows by hedging our exposure to changes in commodity prices. At any point in time, such contracts may include regulated New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) futures and options contracts and non-regulated over-the-counter futures contracts with qualified counterparties. NYMEX contracts are generally settled with offsetting positions, but may be settled by the physical delivery of the commodity. Crude oil contracts are based on a West Texas Intermediate (“WTI”) index. Natural gas liquids fixed price swaps are priced based on a WTI crude oil index, while ethane, propane, butane and iso butane contracts are based on the respective Mt. Belvieu price.  

We recorded net derivative assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets of $0.7 million at June 30, 2017 and net derivative liabilities of $0.6 million at December 31, 2016. On the date of the Chapter 11 Filings, we deconsolidated ARP for financial reporting purposes (see Note 2).

The following table summarizes the commodity derivative activity and presentation in our condensed consolidated statement of operations for the periods indicated (in thousands):

The following table summarizes the gross fair values of AGP’s derivative instruments, presenting the impact of offsetting the derivative assets and liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of the dates indicated (in thousands):

19

At June 30, 2017, AGP had the following commodity derivatives:

NOTE 6—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We use a market approach fair value methodology to value our outstanding derivative contracts and financial instruments. The fair value of a financial instrument depends on a number of factors, including the availability of observable market data over the contractual term of the underlying instrument. We separate the fair value of our financial instruments into the three level hierarchy (Levels 1, 2 and 3) based on our assessment of the availability of observable market data and the significance of non-observable data used to determine fair value. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, all of our derivative financial instruments were classified as Level 2.

Information for our financial instruments measured at fair value were as follows (in thousands):

Other Financial Instruments

Our other current assets and liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets are considered to be financial instruments. The estimated fair values of these instruments approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term nature and thus are categorized as Level 1. The estimated fair value of our debt at June 30, 2017 approximated its carrying value of $91.5 million, which consisted of our First Lien Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement that bear interest at variable rates and are categorized as Level 1 values.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

20

Management estimated the fair values of ARP’s natural gas and oil properties transferred to ARP in June 2016 upon consolidation of certain Drilling Par tnerships (see Note 7) based on a discounted cash flow model, which considered the estimated remaining lives of the wells based on reserve estimates, ARP’s future operating and development costs of the assets, the respective natural gas, oil and natural ga s liquids forward price curves, and estimated salvage values using ARP’s historical experience and external estimates of recovery values. These estimates of fair value were Level 3 measurements as they were based on unobservable inputs.

Management estimated the fair value of asset retirement obligations transferred to ARP in June 2016 upon consolidation of certain Drilling Partnerships (see Note 7) based on discounted cash flow projections using ARP’s historical experience in plugging and abandoning wells, the estimated remaining lives of those wells based on reserve estimates, external estimates as to the cost to plug and abandon the wells in the future considering inflation rates, federal and state regulatory requirements, and ARP’s assumed credit-adjusted risk-free interest rate. These estimates of fair value were Level 3 measurements as they were based on unobservable inputs.

NOTE 7—CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Relationship with ARP . ARP did not directly employ any persons to manage or operate its business. These functions were provided by employees of us and/or our affiliates. On the date of the Chapter 11 Filings, we deconsolidated ARP for financial reporting purposes (see Note 2).

Relationship with Titan . Other than its named executive officers, Titan does not directly employ any persons to manage or operate its business. These functions were provided by employees of us and/or our affiliates. On September 1, 2016, Titan entered into a Delegation of Management Agreement (the “Delegation Agreement”) with Titan Management, our wholly owned subsidiary. Pursuant to the Delegation Agreement, Titan has delegated to Titan Management all of Titan’s rights and powers to manage and control the business and affairs of Titan Energy Operating, LLC (“Titan Operating”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Titan. However, Titan’s board of directors retains management and control over certain non-delegated duties.  In addition, Titan also entered into an Omnibus Agreement (the “Omnibus Agreement”) dated September 1, 2016 with Titan Management, Atlas Energy Resource Services, Inc. (“AERS”), our wholly owned subsidiary, and Titan Operating. Pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement, Titan Management and AERS will provide Titan and Titan Operating with certain financial, legal, accounting, tax advisory, financial advisory and engineering services (including cash management services) and Titan and Titan Operating will reimburse Titan Management and AERS for their direct and allocable indirect expenses incurred in connection with the provision of the services, subject to certain approval rights in favor of Titan’s Conflicts Committee. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had payables of $6.3 million and $3.3 million to Titan related to the timing of funding cash accounts related to general and administrative expenses, such as payroll and benefits, which was recorded in advances from affiliates in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Relationship with AGP . AGP does not directly employ any persons to manage or operate its business. These functions are provided by employees of us and/or our affiliates. Atlas Growth Partners, GP, LLC (“AGP GP”) receives an annual management fee in connection with its management of AGP equivalent to 1% of capital contributions per annum. During each of the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, AGP paid a management fee of $0.6 million and during each of the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, AGP paid a management fee of $1.1 million. We charge direct costs, such as salary and wages, and allocate indirect costs, such as rent for offices, to AGP by us based on the number of its employees who devoted their time to activities on its behalf. AGP reimburses us at cost for direct costs incurred on its behalf. AGP reimburses all necessary and reasonable indirect costs allocated by the general partner.

Relationship with Drilling Partnerships . ARP conducted certain activities through, and a portion of its revenues were attributable to, sponsorship of the Drilling Partnerships. Through the Plan Effective Date, ARP served as the ultimate general partner and operator of the Drilling Partnerships and assumed customary rights and obligations for the Drilling Partnerships. As the ultimate general partner, ARP was liable for the Drilling Partnerships’ liabilities and could have been liable to limited partners of the Drilling Partnerships if it breached its responsibilities with respect to the operations of the Drilling Partnerships. ARP was entitled to receive management fees, reimbursement for administrative costs incurred, and to share in the Drilling Partnership’s revenue and costs and expenses according to the respective partnership agreements.

In March 2016, ARP transferred $36.7 million of investor capital raised and $13.3 million of accrued well drilling and completion costs incurred by ARP to the Atlas Eagle Ford 2015 L.P. private drilling partnership for activities directly related to their program. In June 2016, ARP transferred $5.2 million of funds to certain of the Drilling Partnerships that were projected to make monthly or quarterly distributions to their limited partners over the next several months and/or quarter to ensure accessible distribution funding coverage in accordance with the respective Drilling Partnerships’ operations and partnership agreements in the event ARP experienced a prolonged restructuring period as ARP performed all administrative and management functions for the Drilling Partnerships.

21

During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, ARP recorded $7.2 million and $12 .4 million of gas and oil properties and asset retirement obligations, respectively, transferred to ARP as a result of certain Drilling Partnership liquidations. The gas and oil properties and asset retirement obligations were recorded at their fair values on the respective dates of the Drilling Partnerships’ liquidation and transfer to ARP (see Note 6) and resulted in a non-cash loss of $6.2 million, net of liquidation and transfer adjustments, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, which was re corded in other income/(loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

AGP’s Relationship with Titan . At our direction, AGP reimburses Titan for direct costs, such as salaries and wages, charged to AGP based on our employees who incurred time to activities on AGP’s behalf and indirect costs, such as rent and other general and administrative costs, allocated to AGP based on the number of our employees who devoted their time to activities on AGP’s behalf. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, AGP had payables of $0.2 million and $0.8 million to Titan related to the direct costs, indirect cost allocation, and timing of funding of cash accounts, which was recorded in advances from affiliates in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Other Relationships. We have other related party transactions with regard to our First Lien Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement (see Note 4), our Series A preferred units and our general partner and limited partner interest in Lightfoot (see Notes 1 and 2).

NOTE 8—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

We are parties to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of business. Our management and our subsidiaries believe that none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. We have established procedures for the ongoing evaluation of our and our subsidiaries’ operations, to identify potential environmental exposures and to comply with regulatory policies and procedures. Environmental expenditures that relate to current operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and do not contribute to current or future revenue generation are expensed. Liabilities are recorded when environmental assessments and/or clean-ups are probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. We maintain insurance which may cover in whole or in part certain environmental expenditures. We had no environmental matters requiring specific disclosure or requiring the recognition of a liability as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

NOTE 9—CASH DISTRIBUTIONS

Our Cash Distributions . We have a cash distribution policy under which we distribute, within 50 days following the end of each calendar quarter, all of our available cash (as defined in our limited liability company agreement) for that quarter to our unitholders. However, as a result of the First Lien Credit Agreement and Second Lien Credit Agreement entered into on March 30, 2016 (see Note 4), we are prohibited from paying future cash distributions on our common and preferred units. Prior to these amendments, we paid a distribution of $1.0 million to our Class A preferred unitholders.  

ARP Cash Distributions . ARP had a monthly cash distribution program whereby ARP distributed all of its available cash (as defined in the partnership agreement) for that month to its unitholders within 45 days from the month end. If ARP’s common unit distributions in any quarter exceeded specified target levels, we received between 13% and 48% of such distributions in excess of the specified target levels.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, ARP paid four monthly cash distributions totaling $5.1 million to common limited partners ($0.0125 per unit per month); $2.5 million to Preferred Class C limited partners ($0.0125 per unit per month); and $0.2 million to the General Partner Class A holder ($0.0125 per unit per month).

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, ARP paid two distributions totaling $4.4 million to Class D Preferred units ($0.5390625 per unit) for the period October 15, 2016 through April 14, 2016.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, ARP paid two distributions totaling $0.3 million to Class E Preferred units ($0.671875 per unit) for the period October 15, 2015 through April 14, 2016.

AGP Cash Distributions. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, AGP paid a distribution of $8.2 million to common limited partners ($0.1750 per unit per quarter) and $0.2 million to the general partner’s Class A units ($0.1750 per unit per quarter). On November 2, 2016, AGP’s Board of Directors determined to suspend its quarterly common unit distributions, beginning with the three months ended September 30, 2016, in order to retain its cash flow and reinvest in its business and assets.
