___________
(1)
We account for these investments under the equity method of accounting due to the significant participatory rights of our partners such that we do not control or are otherwise not the primary beneficiary of the investments.
(2)
We acquired these investments in the ACMP Acquisition. (Note 2 – Acquisitions.) As discussed in Note 1 – Description of Business, Basis of Presentation, and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the Appalachia Midstream Investments include investments in 11 different gathering systems in the Marcellus Shale. Ownership interests range from 33.75 percent to 67.50 percent, resulting in an overall approximate average interest of 45 percent. For those investments where we own in excess of 50 percent, we apply the equity-method of accounting due to the significant participation rights of our partners such that we do not control.
