We intend to use the estimated net proceeds from this offering of
approximately $167.2 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and
a structuring fee, together with borrowings of approximately $155.8 million
that we will incur upon the closing of this offering under our new revolving
credit facility, to:
• make cash distributions and payments to Fund I of approximately $289.9
million;
• repay in full approximately $27.3 million of LRR A's debt that we will
assume at closing;
• pay fees and expenses of approximately $1.9 million relating to our new
credit facility; and
• pay estimated offering expenses of approximately $3.9 million.
Other than the $155.8 million that we expect to borrow under our new revolving
credit facility upon the closing of this offering, we have no plans to
immediately draw down additional borrowings under our new revolving credit
facility.
All of LRR A's debt that we will assume and repay in full at closing was
incurred under LRR A' s credit facility in connection with acquisitions.
Such debt is secured by mortgages on substantially all of LRR A's oil and
natural gas properties, including the Partnership Properties. The interest
rate on this credit facility is 2.81% through November 23, 2011, and the
credit facility matures in November 2014.
The following table illustrates our use of the proceeds from this offering
and our borrowings under our new credit facility.

(1) If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional common
units in full, the gross proceeds would be $205.6 million and the total
distribution and payment to Fund I would be approximately $315.0 million.
If and to the extent the underwriters exercise their option to purchase
additional common units, the number of common units purchased by the
underwriters pursuant to such exercise will be issued to the public and the
remainder, if any, will be issued to Fund I. Any such common units issued to
Fund I will be issued for no consideration other than Fund I's contribution
of the Partnership Properties to us in connection with the closing of this
offering. If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase 1,411,200
additional common units in full, the additional net proceeds would be
approximately $25.1 million. The net proceeds from any exercise of such
option will be used to pay additional cash consideration for the Partnership
Properties purchased from Fund I and to make an additional cash distribution
to Fund I. If the underwriters do not exercise their option to purchase
1,411,200 additional common units, we will issue 1,411,200 common units to
Fund I upon the expiration of the option. We will not receive any additional
consideration from Fund I in connection with such issuance. Accordingly,
the exercise of the underwriters' option will not affect the total number
of common units outstanding or the amount of cash needed to pay the minimum
quarterly distribution on all units.
We operate in a highly competitive environment for acquiring properties and
securing qualified personnel. Many of our competitors possess and employ
financial, technical and personnel resources substantially greater than ours,
which can be particularly important in the areas in which we operate. As a
result, our competitors may be able to pay more for productive oil and natural
gas properties and exploratory prospects, as well as evaluate, bid for and
purchase a greater number of properties and prospects than our financial or
personnel resources permit. Our ability to acquire additional properties and
to find and develop reserves will depend on our ability to evaluate and select
suitable properties and to consummate transactions in a highly competitive
environment. In addition, there is substantial competition for capital
available for investment in the oil and natural gas industry.
We are also affected by competition for drilling rigs, completion rigs,
workover rigs, completion services and the availability of related equipment.
In recent years, the United States onshore oil and natural gas industry has
experienced shortages of drilling and completion rigs, equipment, pipe and
personnel, which have delayed development drilling and other exploitation
activities and caused significant increases in the prices for this equipment
and personnel. We are unable to predict when, or if, such shortages may occur
or how they would affect our development and exploitation programs.
In addition, Lime Rock Resources, Lime Rock Partners and their affiliates are
not restricted from competing with us and such entities could be competing
producers in all of our operating areas, as well as competitors for acquisition
opportunities.
Company Description
We are a Delaware limited partnership formed in April 2011 by affiliates of
Lime Rock Resources to operate, acquire, exploit and develop producing oil
and natural gas properties in North America with long-lived, predictable
production profiles. Our properties are located in the Permian Basin
region
in West Texas and southeast New Mexico, the Mid-Continent region in Oklahoma
and East Texas and the Gulf Coast region in Texas. As of March 31, 2011, our
total estimated proved reserves were approximately 30.3 MMBoe, of which
approximately 84% were proved developed reserves (approximately 69% proved
developed producing and approximately 15% proved developed non-producing).
Approximately 57% of our pro forma revenues for the six months ended June 30,
2011 were from oil and natural gas liquids, or NGLs, and approximately 37% of
our total estimated proved reserves were oil and NGLs as measured by volume.
As of March 31, 2011, we operated 93% of our proved reserves. Based on our
pro forma average net production of 6,133 Boe/d for the six months ended
June 30, 2011, our total estimated proved reserves as of March 31, 2011 had
a reserve-to-production ratio of approximately 13.5 years.
Our general partner, LRE GP, LLC, is controlled by Lime Rock Management LP,
or Lime Rock Management, which was founded in 1998 and manages approximately
$3.9 billion of private capital for investment in the energy industry through
its investment funds, Lime Rock Resources and Lime Rock Partners. Following
its sale and contribution of oil and natural gas properties and related net
profits interests and operations to us in connection with this offering,
which we refer to as the Partnership Properties, Lime Rock Resources will
own total estimated proved reserves of approximately 15.3 MMBoe as of March
31, 2011, of which approximately 79% are proved developed reserves, with pro
forma average net production of approximately 3,983 Boe/d for the six months
ended June 30, 2011. In addition, Lime Rock Resources has approximately $520
million of additional acquisition capacity that it expects to deploy over
the next two years to purchase additional oil and natural gas properties
that may be suitable for acquisition by us in the future.
Lime Rock Resources has informed us that it intends, from time to time, to
offer us the opportunity to purchase some of its mature, producing oil and
natural gas assets and to participate in potential joint acquisition
opportunities. However, neither Lime Rock Resources nor any of its affiliates
is obligated to offer or sell any of their properties to us or share future
joint acquisition opportunities with us following the consummation of this
offering.
