SUMMIT MIDSTREAM PARTNERS, LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION, BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND PRESENTATION AND CONSOLIDATION
Organization. Summit Midstream Partners, LP ("SMLP" or the "Partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership, is a growth-oriented limited partnership focused on developing, owning and operating midstream energy infrastructure assets that are strategically located in the core producing areas of unconventional resource basins, primarily shale formations, in North America.
SMLP and its subsidiaries are managed and operated by the board of directors and executive officers of Summit Midstream GP, LLC (the "general partner"). Summit Investments, as the ultimate owner of our general partner, controls us and has the right to appoint the entire board of directors of our general partner, including our independent directors. Our operations are conducted through, and our operating assets are owned by, various wholly-owned operating subsidiaries. Neither SMLP nor its subsidiaries have any employees. All of the personnel that conduct our business are employed by the general partner and its subsidiaries, but these individuals are sometimes referred to as our employees.
As of March 31, 2015, Summit Midstream Partners Holdings, LLC ("SMP Holdings"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Summit Investments, held 5,293,571 SMLP common units, all of our subordinated units, all of our general partner units representing a 2% general partner interest in SMLP and all of our incentive distribution rights ("IDRs").
On May 18, 2015, the Partnership acquired certain crude oil and produced water gathering systems and under-development transmission pipelines held by Polar Midstream, LLC ("Polar Midstream") and Epping Transmission Company, LLC ("Epping") located in the Williston Basin (collectively the "Polar and Divide system") from SMP Holdings (the "Polar and Divide Drop Down"). Polar Midstream and Epping are Delaware limited liability companies formed in April 2014.
Polar Midstream's assets were carved out of Meadowlark Midstream Company, LLC ("Meadowlark Midstream"), a subsidiary of Summit Investments, immediately prior to the Polar and Divide Drop Down. Concurrent with the closing of the Polar and Divide Drop Down, Epping became a wholly owned subsidiary of Polar Midstream and SMLP contributed Polar Midstream (including Epping) to Bison Midstream, LLC ("Bison Midstream"). Because the Polar and Divide system was acquired from subsidiaries of Summit Investments, it was deemed a transaction among entities under common control. Common control began in (i) February 2013 for Polar Midstream and (ii) April 2014 for Epping.
Business Operations. We provide natural gas gathering, treating and processing services as well as crude oil and produced water gathering services pursuant to primarily long-term and fee-based agreements with our customers. Our results are driven primarily by the volumes of natural gas that we gather, treat, compress and process as well as by the volumes of crude oil and produced water that we gather. Our gathering systems and the unconventional resource basins in which they operate are as follows:
Mountaineer Midstream gathering system ("Mountaineer Midstream"), a natural gas gathering system, operating in the Appalachian Basin, which includes the Marcellus Shale formation in northern West Virginia;
Bison Midstream, an associated natural gas gathering system, operating in the Williston Basin, which includes the Bakken and Three Forks shale formations in northwestern North Dakota;
the Polar and Divide system ("Polar and Divide"), a crude oil and produced water gathering system and transmission pipelines (under development) located in the Williston Basin;
DFW Midstream Services LLC ("DFW Midstream"), a natural gas gathering system, operating in the Fort Worth Basin, which includes the Barnett Shale formation in north-central Texas; and
Grand River Gathering, LLC ("Grand River Gathering"), a natural gas gathering and processing system, operating in the Piceance Basin, which includes the Mesaverde formation and the Mancos and Niobrara shale formations in western Colorado and eastern Utah.
Our operating subsidiaries, which are wholly owned by our wholly owned subsidiary, Summit Midstream Holdings, LLC ("Summit Holdings"), are: DFW Midstream (which includes Mountaineer Midstream); Bison Midstream (and its wholly owned subsidiaries Polar Midstream and Epping); and Grand River Gathering (and its wholly owned subsidiary Red Rock Gathering Company, LLC ("Red Rock Gathering")). All of our operating subsidiaries are focused on the development, construction and operation of natural gas gathering and processing systems and crude oil and produced water gathering systems.

EX 99.1-6

EXHIBIT 99.1

Presentation and Consolidation. We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). These principles are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB"). The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of SMLP and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions among the consolidated entities have been eliminated in consolidation.
We make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates, including fair value measurements, the reported amounts of revenue and expense, and the disclosure of contingencies. Although management believes these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from its estimates.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and the regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. We believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In the opinion of management, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, including normal recurring accruals, which are necessary to fairly present the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2015, the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations, partners' capital and cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto that are included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 as filed with the SEC on March 2, 2015, and as updated and superseded by our current report on Form 8-K dated September 11, 2015 (the "2014 Annual Report"). The results of operations for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of results expected for a full year.
SMLP recognized its acquisitions of (i) Polar Midstream and Epping and (ii) Red Rock Gathering (the "Red Rock Drop Down") at Summit Investments' historical cost of construction or fair value of assets and liabilities at acquisition because the acquisitions were executed by entities under common control. The excess of Summit Investments' net investment in Polar Midstream and Epping was recognized as an addition to partners' capital. The excess of the purchase price paid by SMLP over Summit Investments' net investment in Red Rock Gathering was recognized as a reduction to partners' capital. Due to the common control aspect, the Polar and Divide Drop Down and the Red Rock Drop Down were accounted for by the Partnership on an “as-if pooled” basis for the periods during which common control existed. For the purposes of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, SMLP's results of operations reflect the results of operations of Polar Midstream, Epping and Red Rock Gathering for all periods presented.
The financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Polar Midstream included herein have been derived from the accounting records of Meadowlark Midstream on a carve-out basis. The majority of the assets and liabilities allocated to Polar Midstream have been specifically identified based on Meadowlark Midstream’s existing divisional organization. Goodwill was allocated to Polar Midstream based on initial purchase accounting estimates. Revenues and depreciation and amortization have been specifically identified based on Polar Midstream's relationship to Meadowlark Midstream’s existing divisional structure. Operation and maintenance and general and administrative expenses have been allocated to Polar Midstream based on volume throughput. These allocations and estimates were based on methodologies that management believes are reasonable. The results reflected herein, however, may not reflect what Polar Midstream’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows would have been if Polar Midstream been a stand-alone company.
Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior-year amounts to conform to the current-year presentation. We evaluated our classification of revenues and concluded that creating an “other revenues” category would provide reporting that was more reflective of our results of operations and how we manage our business. As such, certain revenue transactions that represented the “and other” portions of (i) gathering services and (ii) natural gas, NGLs and condensate sales have been reclassified to other revenues. Other revenues also includes the amortization expense associated with our favorable and unfavorable gas gathering contracts. The amounts reclassified to other revenues for each period presented can be determined based on the total of the other revenues line item and the amount of amortization of favorable and unfavorable gas gathering contracts disclosed in Note 5. We also evaluated our historical classification of electricity expense for Bison Midstream. In connection with the reclassification of certain revenues noted above and to be consistent with the classification of pass-through electricity expense for our other operating segments, we reclassified pass-through electricity expenses for Bison Midstream ($1.3 million and $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively) from costs of natural gas and NGLs to operation and maintenance. These reclassifications had no impact on total revenues, total costs and expenses, net income, total partners' capital or segment adjusted EBITDA.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Comprehensive Income. Comprehensive income is the same as net income for all periods presented.
Environmental Matters. We are subject to various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment. Liabilities for loss contingencies, including environmental remediation costs, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are charged to expense when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the assessment and/or remediation can be reasonably estimated. We accrue for losses associated with environmental remediation obligations when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. Such accruals are adjusted as further information develops or circumstances change. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other parties or insurers are recorded as assets when their receipt is deemed probable.
Other Significant Accounting Policies. For information on our other significant accounting policies, see Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements included in the 2014 Annual Report.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. Accounting standard setters frequently issue new or revised accounting rules. We review new pronouncements to determine the impact, if any, on our financial statements. There are currently no recent pronouncements that have been issued that we believe may materially affect our financial statements, except as noted below.
In May 2014, the FASB released a joint revenue recognition standard, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09 ("ASU 2014-09"). Under ASU 2014-09, revenue will be recognized under a five-step model: (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to performance obligations; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) we satisfy a performance obligation. In its original form, ASU 2014-09 was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2016; early adoption was not permitted. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of Effective Date ("ASU 2015-14"). ASU 2015-14 defers for one year the effective date of the ASU 2014-09 for both public and nonpublic entities reporting under U.S. GAAP and allows early adoption as of the original effective date. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this update.
In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02—Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis ("ASU 2015-02"). The standard changes the analysis that a reporting entity must perform to determine whether it should consolidate certain types of legal entities. This new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim and annual periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this update.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03 ("ASU 2015-30") Interest – Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Under ASU 2015-03, entities that have historically presented debt issuance costs as an asset, related to a recognized debt liability, will be required to present those costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. This presentation will result in debt issuance cost being presented the same way debt discounts have historically been handled. This new standard is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim and annual periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently in the process of evaluating the impact of this update.

3. SEGMENT INFORMATION
As of March 31, 2015, our reportable segments are:
the Marcellus Shale, which is served by Mountaineer Midstream;
the Williston Basin – Gas, which is served by Bison Midstream;
the Williston Basin – Liquids, which is served by Polar and Divide;
the Barnett Shale, which is served by DFW Midstream; and
the Piceance Basin, which is served by Grand River Gathering.
Each of our reportable segments provides midstream services in a specific geographic area. Within specific geographic areas, we may further differentiate reportable segments by type of gathering service provided. Our

EX 99.1-8

EXHIBIT 99.1

reportable segments reflect the way in which we internally report the financial information used to make decisions and allocate resources in connection with our operations.
In the first quarter of 2015, we combined our Red Rock Gathering operating segment with the Grand River Gathering operating segment to become one operating segment serving the Piceance Basin. Prior to 2015, we aggregated the Red Rock Gathering and Grand River Gathering operating segments into the Piceance Basin reportable segment.
In connection with the Polar and Divide Drop Down, we identified two reportable segments in the Williston Basin. We had previously only provided natural gas gathering services in the Williston Basin. With the acquisition of Polar Midstream and Epping in May 2015, we now also provide crude oil and produced water gathering services in the Williston Basin. As such, we evaluated the quantitative and qualitative factors for operating segment aggregation in the Williston Basin and concluded that the characteristics for crude oil and produced water gathering services were not sufficiently similar to those of our natural gas gathering services. As a result, we now report the results of Bison Midstream in the Williston Basin – Gas reportable segment and those of Polar Midstream and Epping in the Williston Basin – Liquids reportable segment.
Corporate represents those revenues and expenses that are not specifically attributable to a reportable segment, not individually reportable, or that have not been allocated to our reportable segments. Beginning in the first quarter of 2015, we discontinued allocating certain general and administrative expenses, primarily salaries, benefits, incentive compensation and rent expense, to our operating segments.

We assess the performance of our reportable segments based on segment adjusted EBITDA. We define segment adjusted EBITDA as total revenues less total costs and expenses; plus (i) other income excluding interest income, (ii) depreciation and amortization, (iii) adjustments related to minimum volume commitment ("MVC") shortfall payments, (iv) impairments and (v) other noncash expenses or losses, less other noncash income or gains. Segment adjusted EBITDA excludes the effect of allocated corporate expenses, such as certain general and administrative expenses (including compensation-related expenses and professional services fees) interest expense and income tax expense.
Adjustments related to MVC shortfall payments account for (i) the net increases or decreases in deferred revenue for MVC shortfall payments and (ii) our inclusion of expected annual MVC shortfall payments. We include a proportional amount of these historical or expected minimum volume commitment shortfall payments in each quarter prior to the quarter in which we actually recognize the shortfall payment. These adjustments have not been billed to our customers and are not recognized in our consolidated financial statements.

6. GOODWILL
We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually on September 30 and whenever events or circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. There have been no impairments of goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Annual Impairment Evaluation. We performed our annual goodwill impairment testing as of September 30, 2014 using a combination of the income and market approaches. Details on the results of the annual goodwill impairment testing for all reporting units except those acquired in the Polar and Divide Drop Down are included in our 2014 Annual Report. The assets acquired in the Polar and Divide Drop Down were carved out of Meadowlark Midstream. As such, we elected to apply the historical cost approach to determine the amount of goodwill to assign to Polar Midstream. Our procedures indicated that the remaining goodwill balance at Meadowlark Midstream was entirely attributable to Polar Midstream. We then performed the quantitative analysis for the Polar Midstream reporting unit and determined that the fair value of the Polar Midstream reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill as of September 30, 2014. Because the fair value of the Polar Midstream reporting unit exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill, there was no associated impairment of goodwill in connection with our 2014 annual goodwill impairment test and therefore no impairment of the $203.4 million of goodwill that was allocated to the Polar Midstream reporting unit. Because Epping was an organic growth project, it has no goodwill.
Bison Midstream Fourth Quarter 2014 Goodwill Impairment. In the first quarter of 2015, we finalized our calculations of the fair values of the identified assets and liabilities in step two of the December 31, 2014 goodwill impairment testing for the Bison Midstream reporting unit. This process confirmed the preliminary goodwill impairment of $54.2 million that was recognized as of December 31, 2014.
Polar Midstream Fourth Quarter 2014 Goodwill Impairment Evaluation. During the latter part of the fourth quarter of 2014, the declines in prices for natural gas, NGLs and crude oil accelerated, negatively impacting producers in each of our areas of operation. As a result, we considered whether the goodwill associated with our Polar Midstream reporting unit could have been impaired. Our assessment related to the Polar Midstream reporting unit did result in an indication that the associated goodwill could have been impaired.
We noted that the reporting unit had been impacted by the recent price declines, thereby increasing the likelihood that the associated goodwill could have been impaired. As such, we concluded that a triggering event occurred during the fourth quarter of 2014 requiring that we test Polar Midstream's goodwill.
In connection therewith, we reperformed our step one analysis as of December 31, 2014. To estimate the fair value of the reporting unit, we utilized two valuation methodologies: the market approach and the income approach. Both of these approaches incorporate significant estimates and assumptions to calculate enterprise fair value for a reporting unit. The most significant estimates and assumptions inherent within these two valuation methodologies are:
determination of the weighted-average cost of capital;
the selection of guideline public companies;
market multiples;
weighting of the income and market approaches;
growth rates;

EX 99.1-13

EXHIBIT 99.1

commodity prices; and
the expected levels of throughput volume gathered.
Changes in the above and other assumptions could materially affect the estimated amount of fair value for any of our reporting units.
The results of our step one goodwill impairment testing indicated that the fair value of the Polar Midstream reporting unit substantially exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill as of December 31, 2014. As a result, there was no associated impairment of goodwill in connection with the fourth quarter 2014 triggering event and no impairment of goodwill acquired in connection with the Polar and Divide Drop Down.
Our impairment determinations, in the context of (i) our annual impairment evaluation and (ii) our fourth quarter 2014 evaluations, involved significant assumptions and judgments, as discussed above. Differing assumptions regarding any of these inputs could have a significant effect on the various valuations. As such, the fair value measurements utilized within these models are classified as non-recurring Level 3 measurements in the fair value hierarchy because they are not observable from objective sources. Due to the volatility of the inputs used, we cannot predict the likelihood of any future impairment.

As of March 31, 2015, accounts receivable included $2.5 million of shortfall billings related to MVC arrangements that can be utilized to offset gathering fees in subsequent periods. Noncurrent deferred revenue at March 31, 2015 represents amounts that provide certain customers the ability to offset their gathering fees over a period up to seven years to the extent that the customer's throughput volumes exceeds its MVC.

Revolving Credit Facility. We have a senior secured revolving credit facility which allows for revolving loans, letters of credit and swingline loans (the "revolving credit facility"). The revolving credit facility has a $700.0 million borrowing capacity, matures in November 2018, and includes a $200.0 million accordion feature. It is secured by the membership interests of Summit Holdings and those of its subsidiaries. Substantially all of the assets of Summit Holdings and its subsidiaries are pledged as collateral under the revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility, and Summit Holdings' obligations, are guaranteed by SMLP and each of its subsidiaries.
As of March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with the revolving credit facility's covenants. There were no defaults or events of default during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Senior Notes. In July 2014, Summit Holdings and its 100% owned finance subsidiary, Summit Midstream Finance Corp. ("Finance Corp.," together with Summit Holdings, the "Co-Issuers"), co-issued $300.0 million of 5.50% senior unsecured notes maturing August 15, 2022 (the "5.5% senior notes"). In June 2013, the Co-Issuers co-issued $300.0 million of 7.50% senior unsecured notes maturing July 1, 2021 (the "7.5% senior notes").
SMLP and all of its subsidiaries other than the Co-Issuers (the "Guarantors") have fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed the 5.5% senior notes and the 7.5% senior notes. SMLP has no independent assets or operations. Summit Holdings has no assets or operations other than its ownership of its wholly owned subsidiaries and activities associated with its borrowings under the revolving credit facility, the 5.5% senior notes and the 7.5% senior notes. Finance Corp. has no independent assets or operations and was formed for the sole purpose of being a co-issuer of certain of Summit Holdings' indebtedness, including the 5.5% senior notes and the 7.5% senior notes. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of SMLP or Summit Holdings to obtain funds from their subsidiaries by dividend or loan.
As of March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with the covenants of the 5.5% senior notes and the 7.5% senior notes. There were no defaults or events of default during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

The SMLP Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "SMLP LTIP") provides for equity awards to eligible officers, employees, consultants and directors of our general partner and its affiliates. As of March 31, 2015, approximately 4.4 million common units remained available for future issuance.
The following table presents activity under the SMLP LTIP.

As of March 31, 2015, the unrecognized unit-based compensation related to the SMLP LTIP was $9.5 million. Incremental unit-based compensation will be recorded in general and administrative expense over the remaining vesting period of approximately 3.0 years. Due to the limited and immaterial forfeiture history associated with the grants under the SMLP LTIP, no forfeitures were assumed in the determination of estimated compensation expense.

12. CONCENTRATIONS OF RISK
Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and accounts receivable. We maintain our cash in bank deposit accounts that frequently exceed federally insured limits. We have not experienced any losses in such accounts and do not believe we are exposed to any significant risk.
Accounts receivable primarily comprise amounts due for the gathering, treating and processing services we provide to our customers and also the sale of natural gas liquids resulting from our processing services. This industry concentration has the potential to impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that our customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic, industry or other conditions. We monitor the creditworthiness of our counterparties and can require letters of credit for receivables from counterparties that are judged to have substandard credit, unless the credit risk can otherwise be mitigated.
Counterparties accounting for more than 10% of total revenues were as follows:

13. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Reimbursement of Expenses from General Partner. Our general partner and its affiliates do not receive a management fee or other compensation in connection with the management of our business, but will be reimbursed for expenses incurred on our behalf. Under our partnership agreement, we reimburse our general partner and its affiliates for certain expenses incurred on our behalf, including, without limitation, salary, bonus, incentive compensation and other amounts paid to our general partner's employees and executive officers who perform services necessary to run our business. Our partnership agreement provides that our general partner will determine in good faith the expenses that are allocable to us.

certain support expenses and capital expenditures on behalf of the contributed subsidiaries. These transactions were settled periodically through membership interests prior to the respective drop down and
interest expense that was related to capital projects for the contributed subsidiaries. As such, the associated interest expense was allocated to the respective contributed subsidiary's capital projects as a noncash contribution and capitalized into the basis of the asset.

Environmental Matters. There are no material liabilities related to environmental remediation costs, arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, or penalties and other sources in the accompanying financial statements at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014. However, we can provide no assurance that significant costs and liabilities will not be incurred in the future. We are currently not aware of any material contingent liabilities that exist with respect to environmental matters.
Legal Proceedings. The Partnership is involved in various litigation and administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of management, any liabilities that may result from these claims or those arising in the normal course of business would not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations.

15. ACQUISITIONS
Red Rock Gathering System. On March 18, 2014, the Partnership acquired Red Rock Gathering from a subsidiary of Summit Investments, subject to customary working capital adjustments. The Partnership paid total cash consideration of $307.9 million, comprising $305.0 million at the date of acquisition and $2.9 million of working capital adjustments that were recognized in due to affiliate as of December 31, 2014 and settled in February 2015. Because of the common control aspects of the drop down transaction, the Red Rock Gathering acquisition was deemed a transaction between entities under common control and, as such, was accounted for on an “as if pooled” basis for all periods in which common control existed. SMLP’s financial results retrospectively include Red Rock’s financial results for all periods ending after October 23, 2012, the date Summit Investments acquired its interests, and before March 18, 2014.

Subsequent Event. On May 18, 2015, we acquired Polar Midstream and Epping from a subsidiary of Summit Investments, subject to customary working capital and capital expenditures adjustments. Due to the concurrent timing of acquiring Polar Midstream and Epping, we have aggregated these purchases into the Polar and Divide Drop Down. We funded the initial combined purchase price of $290.0 million with (i) $92.5 million of borrowings under our revolving credit facility and (ii) the issuance of $193.4 million of SMLP common units in connection with the May 2015 Equity Offering and $4.1 million of general partner interests to SMLP’s general partner.
