NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA
COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Note 1. Basis of Presentation
On December 30, 2013, Vanguard Natural Resources, LLC (“Vanguard” or the “Company”, or “we”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Encore Energy Partners Operating, LLC, entered into a purchase and sale agreement, dated December 23, 2013 to purchase natural gas and oil assets in the Pinedale and Jonah fields located in Southwestern Wyoming. We refer to this acquisition as the “Pinedale Acquisition.” We completed this acquisition on January 31, 2014 for an aggregate adjusted purchase price of $555.6 million with an effective date of October 1, 2013. The purchase price was funded with borrowings under our reserve-based credit facility.
On September 16, 2014, the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Vanguard Operating, LLC, entered into a purchase and sale agreement, dated September 15, 2014 with Bill Barrett Corporation to purchase natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids assets in the Piceance Basin in Colorado. We refer to this acquisition as the “Piceance Acquisition.” We completed this acquisition on September 30, 2014 for an aggregate adjusted purchase price of $502.1 million, subject to additional customary post-closing adjustments to be determined based on an effective date of July 1, 2014. The purchase price was funded with borrowings under our reserve-based credit facility.
The following unaudited pro forma combined financial information is based on the historical consolidated financial statements of Vanguard, adjusted to reflect the Pinedale Acquisition and the Piceance Acquisition. The related pro forma adjustments are described below.
The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and year ended December 31, 2013 give effect to Pinedale Acquisition and Piceance Acquisition as if these acquisitions had occurred on January 1, 2013.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information should be read in conjunction with Vanguard's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 and Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial information is for informational purposes only and is not intended to represent or to be indicative of the combined results of operations or financial position that Vanguard would have reported had the Pinedale Acquisition been completed as of the dates set forth in this unaudited pro forma financial information and should not be taken as indicative of Vanguard's future performance for reasons, including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare the unaudited pro forma combined financial information and actual results.
Note 2. Pro Forma Adjustments
The measurement of the fair value at acquisition date of the assets acquired in the Piceance Acquisition as compared to the fair value of consideration transferred, adjusted for purchase price adjustments, resulted in goodwill of $0.4 million, calculated in the following table, which was immediately impaired and recorded as a loss in current period earnings. The loss resulted primarily from the changes in oil and natural gas prices between the date the purchase and sale agreement was entered into and the closing date, which were used to value the reserves acquired.

Oil and natural gas properties | $ | 521,401 | |

Reserve Data
The following tables set forth summary pro forma information with respect to Vanguard's pro forma combined estimated net proved and proved developed natural gas, oil and natural gas liquids reserves as of December 31, 2013. This pro forma information gives effect to the Pinedale Acquisition and the Piceance Acquisition as if they occurred on January 1, 2013. Future exploration, exploitation and development expenditures, as well as future commodity prices and service costs, will affect the reserve volumes attributable to the acquired properties and the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows.

(a) | The pro forma standardized measure includes Vanguard, the Pinedale Acquisition and the Piceance Acquisition. |
For the December 31, 2013 calculations in the preceding table, estimated future cash inflows from estimated future production of proved reserves were computed using the average oil and natural gas price based upon the 12-month average price of $96.90 per barrel of crude oil and $3.67 per MMBtu for natural gas adjusted for quality, transportation fees and a regional price differential, and the volume-weighted average price of $36.28 per barrel of natural gas liquids. The natural gas liquids prices were calculated using the differentials for each property to West Texas Intermediate reference price of $96.90. We may receive amounts different than the standardize measure of discounted cash flow for a number of reasons, including price changes and the effects of our hedging activities.
