NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2016

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Atlas America Public #14-2005 (A) L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership, formed on March 3, 2005 with Atlas Resources, LLC serving as its Managing General Partner and Operator (“Atlas Resources” or the “MGP”). Atlas Resources is an indirect subsidiary of Atlas Resource Partners, L.P. (“ARP”) (OTC: ARPJ). Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “the Partnership,” “we,” “us” and “our”, refer to Atlas America Public #14-2005 (A) L.P.

Atlas Energy Group, LLC (“Atlas Energy Group”; OTC: ATLS) manages ARP’s operations and activities through its ownership of ARP’s general partner interest.

The Partnership has drilled and currently operates wells located in Pennsylvania and Tennessee. The Partnership has no employees and relies on the MGP for management, which in turn, relies on its parent company, Atlas Energy Group, for administrative services.

The Partnership’s operating cash flows are generated from its wells, which produce natural gas, oil and NGL. Produced natural gas, oil and NGL is then delivered to market through affiliated and/or third-party gas gathering systems. The Partnership intends to produce its wells until they are depleted or become uneconomical to produce, at which time they will be plugged and abandoned or sold. The Partnership does not expect to drill additional wells and expects no additional funds will be required for drilling.

The condensed financial statements, which are unaudited, except for the balance sheet at December 31, 2015, which is derived from audited financial statements, have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto presented in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 may not necessarily be indicative of the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2016.

The economic viability of the Partnership’s production is based on a variety of factors including proved developed reserves that it can expect to recover through existing wells with existing equipment and operating methods or in which the cost of additional required extraction equipment is relatively minor compared to the cost of a new well; and through currently installed extraction equipment and related infrastructure which is operational at the time of the reserves estimate (if the extraction is by means not involving drilling, completing or reworking a well). There are numerous uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of proven reserves and in projecting future net revenues.

The prices at which the Partnership’s natural gas, oil and NGL will be sold are uncertain and the Partnership is not guaranteed a specific price for the sale of its production. Changes in natural gas, oil and NGL prices have a significant impact on the Partnership’s cash flow and the value of its reserves. Lower gas, oil and NGL prices may not only decrease the Partnership’s revenues, but also may reduce the amount of natural gas, oil and NGL that the Partnership can produce economically.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Partnership is generally limited to the amount of funds generated by the cash flow from its operations to fund its obligations and make distributions, if any, to its partners. Prices for oil and natural gas began to decline significantly during the fourth quarter of 2014 and have continued to decline and remain low in 2016. These lower commodity prices have negatively impacted the Partnership’s revenues, earnings and cash flows. Sustained low commodity prices will have a material and adverse effect on the Partnership’s liquidity position. In addition, the Partnership has experienced significant downward revisions of its natural gas and oil reserves volumes and values due to the declines in commodity prices. The MGP continues to implement various cost saving measures to reduce the Partnership’s operating and general and administrative costs, including renegotiating contracts with contractors, suppliers and service providers, reducing the number of staff and contractors and deferring and eliminating discretionary costs. The MGP will continue to be strategic in managing the Partnership’s cost structure and, in turn, liquidity to meet its operating needs. To the extent commodity prices remain low or decline further, or the Partnership experiences other disruptions in the industry, the Partnership’s ability to fund its operations and make distributions may be further impacted, and could result in the MGP’s decision to liquidate the Partnership’s operations.

If, however, the MGP were to decide to liquidate our operations, the liquidation valuation of the Partnership’s assets and liabilities would be determined by an independent expert. It is possible that based on such determination, we would not be able to make any liquidation distributions to our limited partners. A liquidation could result in the transfer of the post-liquidation assets and liabilities of the Partnership to the MGP and would occur without any further contributions from or distributions to the limited partners.

Historically, there has been no need to borrow funds from the MGP to fund operations as the cash flow from the Partnership’s operations have been adequate to fund its obligations and distributions to its partners. However, the recent significant declines in commodity prices have challenged the Partnership’s ability to fund its operations and may make it uneconomical for the Partnership to produce its wells until they are depleted as the Partnership originally intended. Accordingly, the MGP determined that there is substantial doubt about the Partnership’s ability to continue as a going concern. The MGP intends, as necessary, to continue the Partnership’s operations and to fund the Partnership’s obligations for at least the next twelve months. To the extent commodity prices remain low or decline further or ARP is unsuccessful in completing its Restructuring (as defined below) or the Plan (as defined below), the MGP’s ability to continue the Partnership’s operations may be further impacted.

ARP Restructuring and Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Proceedings

On July 25, 2016, ARP and certain of its subsidiaries, including the MGP, and Atlas Energy Group, solely with respect to certain sections thereof, entered into a restructuring support agreement with ARP’s lenders (the “Restructuring Support Agreement”) to support ARP’s restructuring that will reduce debt on its balance sheet (the “Restructuring”) pursuant to a pre-packaged plan of reorganization (the “Plan”). The Plan will position ARP for the future and is expected to be completed before the end of the third quarter of 2016, after which ARP should emerge from Chapter 11 (as defined below), backed by its stakeholders, committed to investing capital to develop its exploration and production assets, as well as its tax-advantaged drilling partnership program.

On July 27, 2016, ARP and certain of its subsidiaries, including the MGP, 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”). The cases commenced thereby are being jointly administered under the caption “In re: ATLAS RESOURCE PARTNERS, L.P., et al.” Interested parties should refer to the information and the limitations and qualifications discussed in the disclosure statement related to the Restructuring which was filed as Exhibit 99.1 to ARP’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on July 25, 2016.

The MGP intends to continue to operate the Partnership’s businesses as “debtors in possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of Chapter 11 and the orders of the Bankruptcy Court. Under the Plan, it is contemplated that all suppliers, vendors, employees, royalty owners, trade partners and landlords will be unimpaired and will be satisfied in full in the ordinary course of business, and the MGP’s existing trade contracts and terms will be maintained. To assure ordinary course operations, the MGP obtained interim approval from the Bankruptcy Court on a variety of “first day” motions, including motions seeking authority to use cash collateral on a consensual basis, pay wages and benefits for individuals who provide services to the Partnership, and pay vendors, oil and gas obligations and other creditor claims in the ordinary course of business.

The Partnership is not a party to the Restructuring Support Agreement. The ARP Restructuring is not expected to materially impact the MGP or its ability to perform as the managing general partner and operator of the Partnership’s operations. On July 26, 2016, the MGP adopted certain amendments to our partnership agreement, in accordance with the MGP’s ability to amend our partnership agreement to cure an ambiguity in or correct or supplement any provision of our partnership agreement as may be inconsistent with any other provision, to provide that bankruptcy and insolvency events, such as the MGP’s Chapter 11 filing, with respect to the managing general partner will not cause the managing general partner to cease to serve as the managing general partner of the Partnership nor cause the termination of the Partnership.

Atlas Energy Group is not a party to the ARP Restructuring. Atlas Energy Group remains controlled by the same ownership group and management team and thus, the ARP Restructuring is not expected to have a material impact on the ability of Atlas Energy Group management to operate ARP or the other Atlas Energy Group businesses.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Partnership’s condensed 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 the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities that exist at the date of the Partnership’s condensed financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenues and costs and expenses during the reporting periods. The Partnership’s condensed financial statements are based on a number of significant estimates, including the revenue and expense accruals, depletion, impairments, fair value of derivative instruments and the probability of forecasted transactions. The natural 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.

Gas and Oil Properties

The following is a summary of gas and oil properties at the dates indicated:

	June 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Proved properties:
Leasehold interests	$	1,748,200	$	1,748,200
Wells and related equipment		87,608,500		87,608,500
Total natural gas and oil properties		89,356,700		89,356,700
Accumulated depletion and impairment		(86,467,700)		(86,464,200	)
Gas and oil properties, net	$	2,889,000	$	2,892,500

As a result of the recent significant declines in commodity prices and associated recorded impairment charges, the remaining net book value of gas and oil properties on our condensed balance sheets at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was primarily related to the estimated salvage value of such properties. The estimated salvage values were based on the MGP’s historical experience in determining such values.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In August 2014, the FASB updated the accounting guidance related to the evaluation of whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The updated accounting guidance requires an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date the financial statements are issued and provide footnote disclosures, if necessary. The updated guidance is effective as of January 1, 2017 and the Partnership is currently in the process of determining the impact of providing the enhanced disclosures, as applicable, within its condensed 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. The updated accounting guidance provides companies with alternative methods of adoption. The Partnership is currently in the process of determining the impact that the updated accounting guidance will have on its condensed financial statements and its method of adoption.

NOTE 3 - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS

The MGP, on behalf of the Partnership, uses a number of different derivative instruments, principally put contracts, in connection with the partnership’s commodity price risk management activities. The Partnership does not apply hedge accounting to any of its derivative instruments. As a result, gains and losses associated with derivative instruments are recognized in earnings.

The Partnership enters into commodity put contracts to achieve more predictable cash flows by hedging the Partnership’s exposure to changes in commodity prices. At any point in time, such contracts may include regulated New York Mercantile Stock 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. These contracts have been recorded at their fair values.

The Partnership reflected net derivative assets on its condensed balance sheets of $14,100 and $43,700 at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The following table summarizes the commodity derivative activity and presentation in the condensed statements of operations for the periods indicated:

	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 30,				June 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
Gains reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income into natural gas, oil and liquids revenues	$	700	$	5,200	$	1,300	$	10,500
(Losses) gains subsequent to hedge accounting recognized in (loss) gain on mark-to-market derivatives	$	(7,400)	$	(5,800)	$	(2,300)	$	400

At June 30, 2016, the Partnership had the following commodity derivatives:

Natural Gas Put Options

Production Period Ending December 31,	Volumes ⁽³⁾		Average Fixed Price		Fair Value Asset ⁽²⁾
	(MMBtu) ⁽¹⁾		(per MMBtu) ⁽¹⁾

2016		12,500	$	4.15	$	14,100

(1)	“MMBtu” represents million British Thermal Units.

(2)	Fair value based on forward NYMEX natural gas prices, as applicable.

(3)	The production volume for 2016 include the remaining six months of 2016 beginning July 1, 2016.

As the underlying prices and terms in the Partnership’s derivative contracts were consistent with the indices used to sell its natural gas and oil, there were no gains or losses recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 for hedge ineffectiveness.

NOTE 4 - FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Partnership uses a market approach fair value methodology to value its outstanding derivative contracts. 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. The Partnership separates the fair value of its financial instruments into three levels (Levels 1, 2 and 3) based on its assessment of the availability of observable market data and the significance of non-observable data used to determine fair value. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, all derivative financial instruments were classified as Level 2.

Information for assets measured at fair value at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 was as follows:

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
As of June 30, 2016
Derivative assets, gross
Commodity puts	$	-	$	14,100	$	-	$	14,100

	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
As of December 31, 2015
Derivative assets, gross
Commodity puts	$	-	$	43,700	$	-	$	43,700

NOTE 5 - CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Partnership has entered into the following significant transactions with the MGP and its affiliates as provided under its Partnership Agreement. Administrative costs, which are included in general and administrative expenses in the Partnership’s condensed statements of operations, are payable at $75 per well per month. Monthly well supervision fees, which are included in production expense in the Partnership’s condensed statements of operations, are payable at $309 per well per month for operating and maintaining the wells. Well supervision fees are proportionately reduced to the extent the Partnership does not acquire 100% of the working interest in a well. Transportation fees are included in production expenses in the Partnership’s condensed statements of operations and are generally payable at 13% of the natural gas sales price. Direct costs, which are included in production and general administrative expenses in the Partnership’s condensed statements of operations, are payable to the MGP and its affiliates as reimbursement for all costs expended on the Partnership’s behalf.

The following table provides information with respect to these costs and the periods incurred:

			Three Months Ended June 30,			Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015		2016		2015
Administrative fees	$	45,500		$	40,900	$	79,300	$	88,500
Supervision fees		187,300			168,800		326,700		364,900
Transportation fees		21,500			29,100		40,000		67,800
Direct costs		74,600			115,700		156,700		244,800
Total	$	328,900		$	354,500	$	602,700	$	766,000

The MGP and its affiliates perform all administrative and management functions for the Partnership, including billing revenues and paying expenses. Accounts payable trade-affiliate on the Partnership’s condensed balance sheets included the net production expenses due to the MGP.

NOTE 6 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

General Commitments

Subject to certain conditions, investor partners may present their interests for purchase by the MGP. The purchase price is calculated by the MGP in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreement. The MGP is not obligated to purchase more than 5% of the total outstanding units in any calendar year. In the event that the MGP is unable to obtain the necessary funds, it may suspend its purchase obligation.

Beginning one year after each of the Partnership’s wells has been placed into production, the MGP, as operator, may retain $200 per month per well to cover estimated future plugging and abandonment costs. As of June 30, 2016, the MGP has withheld $962,200 of net production revenue for future plugging and abandonment costs.

Legal Proceedings

The Partnership and affiliates of the MGP and their subsidiaries are party to various routine legal proceedings arising out of the ordinary course of its business. Management and the MGP’s management believe that none of these actions, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s or the MGP’s financial condition or results of operations.

General

Atlas America Public #14-2005 (A) L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership, formed on March 3, 2005 with Atlas Resources, LLC serving as its Managing General Partner and Operator (“Atlas Resources” or the “MGP”). Atlas Resources is an indirect subsidiary of Atlas Resource Partners, L.P. (“ARP”) (OTCQX: ARPJ). Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “the Partnership,” “we,” “us” and “our”, refer to Atlas America Public #14-2005 (A) L.P.

Atlas Energy Group, LLC (“Atlas Energy Group”) manages ARP’s operations and activities through its ownership of the ARP’s general partner interest.

We have drilled and currently operate wells located in Pennsylvania and Tennessee. We have no employees and rely on our MGP for management, which in turn, relies on its parent company, Atlas Energy Group, for administrative services.

We intend to continue to produce our wells until they are depleted or become uneconomical to produce, at which time they will be plugged and abandoned or sold. We expect that no other wells will be drilled and no additional funds will be required for drilling.

Overview

The following discussion provides information to assist in understanding our financial condition and results of operations. Our operating cash flows are generated from our wells, which produce primarily natural gas, but also some oil. Our produced natural gas and oil is then delivered to market through affiliated and/or third-party gas gathering systems. Our ongoing operating and maintenance costs have been and are expected to be fulfilled through revenues from the sale of our natural gas and oil production. We pay our MGP, as operator, a monthly well supervision fee, which covers all normal and regularly recurring operating expenses for the production and sale of natural gas and oil such as:

●

well tending, routine maintenance and adjustment;

●

reading meters, recording production, pumping, maintaining appropriate books and records; and

●

preparation of reports for us and government agencies.

The well supervision fees, however, do not include costs and expenses related to the purchase of certain equipment, materials and brine disposal. If these expenses are incurred, we pay cost for third-party services, materials and a competitive charge for services performed directly by our MGP or its affiliates. Also, beginning one year after each of our wells has been placed into production, our MGP, as operator, may retain $200 per month, per well, to cover the estimated future plugging and abandonment costs of the well. As of June 30, 2016, our MGP has withheld $962,200 of net production revenues for this purpose.

Markets and Competition

The availability of a ready market for natural gas and oil produced by us, and the price obtained, depends on numerous factors beyond our control, including the extent of domestic production, imports of foreign natural gas and oil, political instability or terrorist acts in gas and oil producing countries and regions, market demand, competition from other energy sources, the effect of federal regulation on the sale of natural gas and oil in interstate commerce, other governmental regulation of the production and transportation of natural gas and oil and the proximity, availability and capacity of pipelines and other required facilities. Our MGP is responsible for selling our production. During 2016 and 2015, we experienced no problems in selling our natural gas and oil. Product availability and price are the principal means of competing in selling natural gas and oil production. While it is impossible to accurately determine our comparative position in the industry, we do not consider our operations to be a significant factor in the industry.

Natural Gas Revenues. Our natural gas revenues were $128,500 and $192,900 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of $64,400 (33%). The $64,400 decrease in natural gas revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year similar period was attributable to a $50,500 decrease in our production volumes and a $13,900 decrease in natural gas sales prices after the effect of financial hedges, which were driven by market conditions. Our production volumes decreased to 967 mcf per day for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from 1,309 mcf per day for the three months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of 342 mcf per day (26%).

Our natural gas revenues were $252,000 and $482,600 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of $230,600 (48%). The $230,600 decrease in natural gas revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year similar period was attributable to a $133,600 decrease in production volumes, and a $97,000 decrease in our natural gas sales prices after the effect of financial hedges, which were driven by market conditions. Our production volumes decreased to 942 Mcf per day for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from 1,309 Mcf per day for the six months ended June 30, 2015, a decrease of 367 Mcf per day (28%).The overall decrease in natural gas production volumes for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year similar period resulted primarily from the normal decline inherent in the life of a well and a decrease in the number of producing wells due to wells shut-in due to a decline in natural gas prices

Oil Revenues. We drilled wells primarily to produce natural gas, rather than oil, but some wells have limited oil production. Our oil revenues were $55,600 and $47,100 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, an increase of $8,500 (18%). The $8,500 increase in oil revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year similar period was attributable to a $17,400 increase in production volumes partially offset by a $8,900 decrease in oil prices. Our production volumes increased to 13 bbls per day for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from 10 bbls per day for the three months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of 3 bbls per day (30%).

Our oil revenues were $77,800 and $85,700 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of $7,900 (9%). The $7,900 decrease in oil revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year similar period was attributable to a $17,100 decrease in oil prices which were driven by market conditions partially offset by a $9,200 increase in production volumes. Our production volumes increased to 11 bbls per day for the six months ended June 30, 2016 from 10 bbls per day for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of 1 bbls per day (10%).

Natural Gas Liquids Revenue. The majority of our wells produce “dry gas”, which is composed primarily of methane and requires no additional processing before being transported and sold to the purchaser. Some wells, however, produce “wet gas”, which contains larger amounts of ethane and other associated hydrocarbons (i.e. “natural gas liquids”) that must be removed prior to transporting the gas. Once removed, these natural gas liquids are sold to various purchasers. Our natural gas liquid revenues were $700 and $1,200 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of $500 (42%). The $500 decrease in natural gas liquid revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year similar period was attributed $500 decrease in our natural gas liquid prices. Our production volumes for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 0.56 bbl per day for each period.

Our natural gas liquid revenues were $2,900 and $4,900 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of $2,000 (41 %). The $2,000 decrease in natural gas liquid revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year similar period was attributed $2,600 decrease in our natural gas liquid prices, partially offset by a $600 increase in natural gas liquids production volumes. Our production volumes increased to 0.93 bbl per day for the three months ended June 30, 2016 from 0.83 bbls per day for the six months ended June 30, 2015, an increase of 0.10 bbl per day (12%).

(Loss) Gain on Mark-to-Market Derivatives. We recognize changes in fair value of our derivatives immediately within (loss) gain on mark-to-market derivatives on our condensed statements of operations.

We recognized a loss on mark-to-market derivatives of $7,400 and $5,800, for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. We recognized a loss on mark-to-market derivatives of $2,300 and a gain on mark-to-market derivatives of $400 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These (losses) gains were due to mark-to-market (losses) gains primarily related to the change in natural gas prices during the periods.

Costs and Expenses. Production expenses were $269,000 and $298,900 for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of $29,900 (10%). This decrease was primarily due to a decrease in well supervision fees and transportation expenses. Production expenses were $495,000 and $648,200 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, a decrease of $153,200 (24%). The decrease for the six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the prior year similar period is primarily due to a combination of a decrease in transportation expenses and supervision fees.

Depletion of gas and oil properties as a percentage of gas and oil revenues was 1% and 20% for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 1% and 16% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. This change was primarily attributable to changes in gas and oil reserve quantities and to a lesser extent, revenues, product prices and production volumes and changes in the depletable cost basis of gas and oil properties.

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were $59,900 and $55,600, respectively, an increase of $4,300 (8%). For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, these expenses were $107,700 and $117,800, respectively, a decrease of $10,100 (9%).These expenses include third-party costs for services as well as the monthly administrative fees charged by our MGP and vary from period to period due to the costs charged to us and services provided to us.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We are generally limited to the amount of funds generated by the cash flow from our operations to fund our obligations and make distributions, if any, to our partners. Prices for oil and natural gas began to decline significantly during the fourth quarter of 2014 and have continued to decline and remain low in 2016. These lower commodity prices have negatively impacted our revenues, earnings and cash flows. Sustained low commodity prices will have a material and adverse effect on our liquidity position. In addition, we have experienced significant downward revisions of its natural gas and oil reserves volumes and values due to the declines in commodity prices. The MGP continues to implement various cost saving measures to reduce our operating and general and administrative costs, including renegotiating contracts with contractors, suppliers and service providers, reducing the number of staff and contractors and deferring and eliminating discretionary costs. The MGP will continue to be strategic in managing our cost structure and, in turn, liquidity to meet our operating needs. To the extent commodity prices remain low or decline further, or we experience other disruptions in the industry, our ability to fund our operations and make distributions may be further impacted, and could result in the MGP’s decision to liquidate our operations.

If, however, the MGP were to decide to liquidate our operations, the liquidation valuation of our assets and liabilities would be determined by an independent expert. It is possible that based on such determination, we would not be able to make any liquidation distributions to our limited partners. A liquidation could result in the transfer of the post-liquidation assets and liabilities of the Partnership to the MGP and would occur without any further contributions from or distributions to the limited partners.

Historically, there has been no need to borrow funds from the MGP to fund operations as the cash flow from our operations have been adequate to fund our obligations and distributions to our partners. However, the recent significant declines in commodity prices have challenged our ability to fund our operations and may make it uneconomical for us to produce our wells until they are depleted as we originally intended. Accordingly, the MGP determined that there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. The MGP intends, as necessary, to continue our operations and to fund our obligations for at least the next twelve months. To the extent commodity prices remain low or decline further or ARP is unsuccessful in completing its Restructuring (as defined below) or the Plan (as defined below), the MGP’s ability to continue our operations may be further impacted.

ARP Restructuring and Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Proceedings

There was no cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016, an increase of $300 as compared to cash used by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015. This was mostly due to an increase in the change in accounts payable trade-affiliate of $309,700 and an increase in the change in accrued liabilities of $2,800. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in net earnings before depletion, accretion, and non-cash loss (gain) on derivative value of $57,400, a decrease in the change in the asset retirement receivable-affiliate of $171,200, a decrease in the change in accounts receivable trade-affiliate of $83,400, and a decrease in the asset retirement obligation settled of $200 for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2015.

There was no cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was $300 from the sale of tangible equipment.

There was no cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015.

Our MGP may withhold funds for future plugging and abandonment costs. Through June 30, 2016, our MGP has withheld $962,200 of funds for this purpose. Any additional funds, if required, will be obtained from production revenues or borrowings from our MGP or its affiliates, which are not contractually committed to make loans to us. The amount that we may borrow at any one time may not at any time exceed 5% of our total subscriptions, and we will not borrow from third-parties.
