NATURAL RESOURCE PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)



1.    Basis of Presentation
Nature of Business
Natural Resource Partners L.P. (the "Partnership") engages principally in the business of owning, managing and leasing a diversified portfolio of mineral properties in the United States, including interests in coal and other natural resources and owns a non-controlling 49% interest in Ciner Wyoming LLC ("Ciner Wyoming"), a trona ore mining and soda ash production business. The Partnership is organized into two operating segments further described in Note 6. Segment Information. As used in these Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, the terms "NRP," "we," "us" and "our" refer to Natural Resource Partners L.P. and its subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated or indicated by context.
Principles of Consolidation and Reporting
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In management's opinion, all necessary adjustments to fairly present the Partnership's results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods presented have been made and all such adjustments were of a normal and recurring nature. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows to conform with current period presentation. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported total assets, total liabilities, partners' capital, net income or cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.
Recasting of Certain Prior Period Information
As described in Note 3. Discontinued Operations, the Partnership reclassified prior period information for the assets and liabilities, operating results and cash flows of its construction aggregates business as discontinued operations in its consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 represents the remaining net proceeds from the sale of the Partnership's construction aggregates business that is required to be used to repay debt, make acquisitions or make capital expenditures per the terms of the Partnership's and Opco's debt agreements. In the first six months of 2019, the Partnership used $88.8 million of restricted cash to repay principal amounts on Opco's private placement senior notes (the "Opco Senior Notes") and it intends to use the remaining $14.9 million of restricted cash to repay a portion of the remaining 2019 principal payments on the Opco Senior Notes.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
Leases
On January 1, 2019, NRP adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 842, Leases, and all the related amendments (the “new lease standard” and "ASC 842") and recognized assets and liabilities on the its Consolidated Balance Sheet for the present value of the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than 12 months. This standard does not apply to leases that explore for or use minerals, oil, natural gas and similar non-regenerative resources, including the intangible right to explore for those natural resources and rights to use the land in which those natural resources are contained. The guidance also required disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The guidance was adopted by NRP on January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach.
The Partnership is a lessee in one lease that is accounted for as an operating lease under the new lease standard and the adoption of the new lease standard did not have a material impact to the Partnership's consolidated financial statements. For lease agreements entered into or reassessed after the adoption of ASC 842, the Partnership elected to not combine lease and non-lease components. See Note 16. Leases for more information.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Credit Losses
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326). The new standard changes how entities will measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. The new standard replaces today's "incurred loss" model with an "expected credit loss" model that requires entities to estimate an expected lifetime credit loss on financial assets, including trade accounts receivable. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019 and is to be adopted using a modified retrospective approach. The Partnership is continuing to evaluate the provisions of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements, but based on its analysis to date, the Partnership does not expect this standard to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

3.    Discontinued Operations
In December 2018, the Partnership sold VantaCore Partners LLC, its construction aggregates business, and in July 2016, the Partnership sold its non-operated oil and gas working interest assets. The Partnership's exit from both its construction aggregates business and non-operated oil and gas working interest business represented strategic shifts to reduce debt and focus on its Coal Royalty and Other and Soda Ash business segments. As a result, the Partnership classified the assets and liabilities, operating results and cash flows of these businesses as discontinued operations in its Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for all periods presented.

Capital expenditures related to the Partnership's discontinued operations were $5.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018.
4.    Common and Preferred Unit Distributions
The Partnership makes cash distributions to common and preferred unitholders on a quarterly basis, subject to approval by the Board of Directors of GP Natural Resource Partners LLC (the "Board of Directors"). NRP recognizes both common unit and preferred unit distributions on the date the distribution is declared.
Distributions made on the common units and the general partner's general partner ("GP") interest are made on a pro-rata basis in accordance with their relative percentage interests in the Partnership. The general partner is entitled to receive 2% of such distributions.

Income available to common unitholders and the general partner is reduced by Preferred Unit distributions that accumulated during the period. NRP reduced net income attributable to common unitholders and the general partner by $7.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $15.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as a result of accumulated Preferred Unit distributions earned during the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Partnership redeemed all of the outstanding PIK Units, which resulted in an $8.8 million cash payment during the period, which is not included in the table below.

(2)
The special distribution of $0.85 per common unit was made to cover the common unitholders’ tax liability resulting from the sale of NRP’s construction aggregates business in December 2018.
5.    Net Income Per Common Unit
Basic net income per common unit is computed by dividing net income, after considering income attributable to non-controlling interest, preferred unitholders and the general partner’s general partner interest, by the weighted average number of common units outstanding. Diluted net income per common unit includes the effect of NRP's Preferred Units, Warrants, and unvested unit-based awards if the inclusion of these items is dilutive.
The dilutive effect of the Preferred Units is calculated using the if-converted method. Under the if-converted method, the Preferred Units are assumed to be converted at the beginning of the period, and the resulting common units are included in the denominator of the diluted net income per unit calculation for the period being presented. Distributions declared in the period and undeclared distributions on the Preferred Units that accumulated during the period are added back to the numerator for purposes of the if-converted calculation. The calculation of diluted net income per common unit for the three months ended June 30, 2019 does not include the assumed conversion of the Preferred Units because the impact would have been anti-dilutive. The calculation of diluted net income per common unit for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 includes the assumed conversion of the Preferred Units.
The dilutive effect of the Warrants is calculated using the treasury stock method, which assumes that the proceeds from the exercise of these instruments are used to purchase common units at the average market price for the period. The calculation of the dilutive effect of the Warrants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 includes the net settlement of Warrants to purchase 1.75 million common units with a strike price of $22.81 but did not include the net settlement of Warrants to purchase 2.25 million common units with a strike price of $34.00 because the impact would have been anti-dilutive. The calculation of diluted net income per common unit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, includes both the net settlement of warrants to purchase 1.75 million common units at a strike price of $22.81 and the net settlement of warrants to purchase 2.25 million common units with a strike price of $34.00.

6.    Segment Information
The Partnership's segments are strategic business units that offer distinct products and services to different customers in different geographies within the U.S. that are managed accordingly. NRP has the following two operating segments:
Coal Royalty and Other—consists primarily of coal royalty properties and coal-related transportation and processing assets. Other assets include industrial mineral royalty properties, aggregates royalty properties, oil and gas royalty properties and timber. The Partnership's coal reserves are primarily located in Appalachia, the Illinois Basin and the Northern Powder River Basin in the United States. The Partnership's industrial minerals and aggregates properties are located in a number of states across the United States. The Partnership's oil and gas royalty assets are primarily located in Louisiana.
Soda Ash—consists of the Partnership's 49% non-controlling equity interest in Ciner Wyoming, a trona ore mining and soda ash production business located in the Green River Basin of Wyoming. Ciner Resources LP, the Partnership's operating partner, mines the trona, processes it into soda ash, and distributes the soda ash both domestically and internationally to the glass and chemicals industries.

In December 2018, the Partnership sold its construction aggregates business which enabled it to further reduce debt and focus on its Coal Royalty and Other and Soda Ash business segments. See Note 3. Discontinued Operations for more information.
Direct segment costs and certain other costs incurred at the corporate level that are identifiable and that benefit the Partnership's segments are allocated to the operating segments accordingly. These allocated costs generally include salaries and benefits, insurance, property taxes, legal, royalty, information technology and shared facilities services and are included in Operating and maintenance expenses on the Partnership's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Corporate and Financing includes functional corporate departments that do not earn revenues. Costs incurred by these departments include interest and financing, corporate headquarters and overhead, centralized treasury, legal and accounting and other corporate-level activity not specifically allocated to a segment and are included in General and administrative expenses on the Partnership's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
