NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
COMBINED STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS


Note 1 – Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations of Linn Energy, LLC (“LINN Energy” or the “Company”) for the six months ended June 30, 2012, is derived from:
the historical consolidated financial statements of LINN Energy; and
the historical statements of revenues and direct operating expenses of certain oil and natural gas properties acquired from BP America Production Company (“BP” and the properties, the “BP Hugoton Properties”).
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations gives effect to the acquisition from BP as if it had been completed as of January 1, 2011. The transaction and the related adjustments are described in the accompanying notes. In the opinion of Company management, all adjustments have been made that are necessary to present fairly, in accordance with Regulation S-X, the pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations is presented for illustrative purposes only, and does not purport to be indicative of the results of operations that would actually have occurred if the transaction described had occurred as presented in such statement or that may be obtained in the future. In addition, future results may vary significantly from those reflected in such statement due to factors described in “Risk Factors” included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and elsewhere in the Company’s reports and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations should be read in conjunction with the Company’s historical consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011. The pro forma statement should also be read in conjunction with the historical statements of revenues and direct operating expenses for the BP Hugoton Properties and the notes thereto, previously filed by the Company with the SEC.
Note 2 – Acquisition Dates
The results of operations of the BP Hugoton Properties have been included in the historical financial statements of the Company since the acquisition date. The acquisition of the BP Hugoton Properties was completed on March 30, 2012, with an effective date of January 1, 2012, for total consideration of approximately $1.17 billion.
Note 3 – Preliminary Acquisition Accounting
The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company conducted assessments of net assets acquired and recognized amounts for identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their estimated acquisition date fair values. Transaction and integration costs associated with the acquisition were expensed as incurred. The initial accounting for the acquisition of the BP Hugoton Properties is not complete and adjustments to estimated amounts, or recognition of additional assets acquired or liabilities assumed, may occur as more detailed analyses are completed and additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date.

The following presents the values assigned to the net assets acquired from BP as of the acquisition date (in thousands):
Assets:
 
Current
$
7,154

Noncurrent
207,735

Oil and natural gas properties
988,317

Total assets acquired
$
1,203,206

 
 
Liabilities:
 
Current
$
8,823

Asset retirement obligations
27,418

Total liabilities assumed
$
36,241

Net assets acquired
$
1,166,965

Current assets include receivables and noncurrent assets include other property and equipment. Current liabilities include payables, ad valorem taxes payable and environmental liabilities.
The fair value measurements of assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on inputs that are not observable in the market and therefore represent Level 3 inputs. The fair value of oil and natural gas properties and asset retirement obligations were measured using valuation techniques that convert future cash flows to a single discounted amount. Significant inputs to the valuation of oil and natural gas properties include estimates of: (i) reserves; (ii) future operating and development costs; (iii) future commodity prices; (iv) estimated future cash flows; and (v) a market-based weighted average cost of capital rate. These inputs require significant judgments and estimates by the Company’s management at the time of the valuation and are the most sensitive and subject to change.
Note 4 – Pro Forma Adjustments
The Company’s historical results of operations include the results of properties acquired from BP since the acquisition date. The pro forma statement of operations includes adjustments to reflect the acquisition from BP as if it had been completed as of January 1, 2011. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations has been adjusted to:
(a)
record approximately $16 million incremental depreciation, depletion and amortization expense, using the units-of-production method, related to oil and natural gas properties for the period from January 1 through March 30, 2012
(b)
record approximately $342,000 accretion expense related to asset retirement obligations on oil and natural gas properties for the period from January 1 through March 30, 2012
(c)
record interest expense on incremental debt of approximately $1.17 billion incurred to fund the purchase price of the BP Hugoton Properties; the assumed interest rate was 6.25%

Accordingly, no recognition has been given to federal and state income taxes in the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations.
