Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for complete annual financial statements. During interim periods, the Partnership follows the accounting policies disclosed in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (“2012 Annual Report”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 include all adjustments we believe are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. Prior period amounts have been revised to conform to current period presentation. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2013. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and other information included in this quarterly report should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2012 Annual Report. The Partnership’s historical financial statements previously filed with the SEC have been revised in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to include the results attributable to properties acquired from the Fund in December 2012 as if the Partnership owned such assets for all periods presented by the Partnership including the period from January 1, 2012 to June 30, 2012 as the transaction was between entities under common control. The consolidated financial statements for periods prior to the Partnership’s acquisition of the properties have been prepared from the Predecessor’s historical cost-basis accounts and may not necessarily be indicative of the actual results of operations that would have occurred if the Partnership had owned the assets during the periods reported.

Management believes this allocation methodology is a reasonable method of allocating general and administrative expenses between us and the Fund and provides for a reasonably accurate depiction of what our general and administrative expenses would be on a stand-alone basis without affiliations with the Fund or QRM. </div> </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaDisclosure of accounting policy for inclusion of significant items in the selling, general and administrative (or similar) expense report caption.Reference 1: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 235 -SubTopic 10 -Section 50 -Paragraph 3 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/extlink&oid=6367646&loc=d3e18780-107790 Reference 2: http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/presentationRef -Publisher FASB -Name Accounting Standards Codification -Topic 720 -URI http://asc.fasb.org/topic&trid=2122503 false0General And Administrative Expenses Allocation5false 2us-gaap_NewAccountingPronouncementsPolicyPolicyTextBlockus-gaap_truenadurationfalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalsefalseterseLabel1falsefalsefalse00<div> <div style="margin-left:0pt;margin-right:0pt;"> Recent Accounting Pronouncements   In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (ASU 2011-11).  The objective of this update is to provide enhanced disclosures that will enable the users of its financial statements to evaluate the effect or potential effect of netting arrangements on an entity’s financial position.  The amendment requires entities to disclose both gross information and net information about instruments and transactions eligible for offset in the statement of financial position and instruments and transactions subject to an agreement similar to a master netting arrangement.  This scope would include financial and derivative instruments that either offset in accordance with U.S. GAAP or are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement, irrespective of whether they are offset in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  This amendment became effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and the interim periods within those annual periods. This update, which expanded disclosures, was adopted by us in January 2013 and did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Refer to Note 5 – Derivative Activities for details on the expanded disclosures.   In January 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. The ASU clarifies that ordinary trade receivables and receivables are not in the scope of ASU 2011-11. This ASU issuance did not impact our adoption of ASU 2011-11 as noted above.  </div> </div>falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaDisclosure of accounting policy pertaining to new accounting pronouncements that may impact the entity's financial reporting.
