NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION

Kimbell Royalty Partners, LP is a Delaware limited partnership formed on October 30, 2015. In connection with its formation, the Partnership issued a non-economic general partner interest in the Partnership to Kimbell Royalty GP, LLC, its general partner. The Partnership has adopted a fiscal year-end of December 31.

On February 8, 2017, the Partnership completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of 5,750,000 common units representing limited partner interests, which included 750,000 common units issued pursuant to the underwriters’ option to purchase additional common units. The mineral and royalty interests making up the Partnership’s initial assets were contributed to the Partnership by the Contributing Parties at the closing of the IPO. As a result, as of December 31, 2016, the Partnership had not yet acquired any of such assets. Unless otherwise indicated, the financial information presented for periods on or after February 8, 2017 refers to the Partnership as a whole. The financial information presented for the periods on or prior to February 7, 2017, is solely that of the Predecessor, Rivercrest Royalties, LLC, and does not include the results of the Partnership as a whole. The mineral and royalty interests underlying the oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids (“NGL”) production revenues of the Predecessor represent approximately 11% of the Partnership’s total future undiscounted cash flows, based on the reserve report prepared by Ryder Scott Company, L.P. (“Ryder Scott”) as of December 31, 2016.

The Predecessor is a Delaware limited liability company formed on October 25, 2013 to own oil, natural gas and NGL mineral and royalty interests in the United States of America (“United States”). In addition to mineral and royalty interests, the Predecessor’s assets include overriding royalty interests. These non-cost-bearing interests are collectively referred to as “mineral and royalty interests.” The Predecessor also had non-operated working interests in certain oil and natural gas properties. Prior to the Partnership’s IPO, the Predecessor assigned its non-operated working interests and associated asset retirement obligations (“ARO”) to an affiliated entity that was not contributed to the Partnership
