Refer to Note 1 - Basis of Presentation for further information on the separation from ParentCo. Also refer to Note 16 - Stock-Based Compensation in the Notes to the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of the Company's December 31, 2017 Form 10-K for information regarding the conversion of share-based awards from ParentCo to the Company as of the date of the separation and distribution.

Cash Management and Treasury

For periods prior to the separation and distribution, the Company participated in ParentCo's centralized treasury and cash management processes. Transactions occurring in periods prior to the separation and distribution were considered to be effectively settled for cash at the time the transactions were recorded. These transactions and net cash transfers to and from ParentCo's centralized cash management system are reflected as a component of ParentCo's net investment on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets and as a financing activity within the accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. In the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Stockholders' Equity, ParentCo's net investment on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets represents the cumulative net investment by ParentCo in the Company, including net income through the completion of the separation and distribution and net cash transfers to and from ParentCo.

All significant transactions between the Company and CNX Resources Corporation have been included in the unaudited consolidated financial statements.

Transition Services Agreements

The Company also entered into a TSA and certain other agreements in connection with the SDA with ParentCo to cover certain continued corporate services provided by the Company and ParentCo to each other following the completion of the separation and distribution. In connection with the separation and distribution, the Company began to set up its own corporate functions, and pursuant to the TSA, ParentCo provided various corporate support services, including certain accounting, human resources, information technology, office and building, risk, security, tax and treasury, building security and tax services, as well as certain regulatory compliance services required during the period in which the Company remained a majority-owned subsidiary of ParentCo. Additional services may be identified from time to time and also be provided under the TSA. The charges associated with these services were not material during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, and are consistent with expenses that ParentCo has historically allocated or incurred with respect to such services.

CNX Resources Receivables and Payables

At June 30, 2018, the Company had a receivable from CNX Resources Corporation of $90 and at December 31, 2017, the Company had a payable to CNX Resources of $12,540. The Company also had a receivable from CNX Resources Corporation of $11,352 and $15,415, of which $5,063 and $4,500 was recorded in current assets and $6,289 and $10,915 was included in other assets on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. These items relate to the reimbursement of the one-time transaction costs as well as other reimbursements per the terms of the SDA.

The one-time transaction costs related to the separation and distribution were approximately $40,545 for the year ended December 31, 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company paid CNX Resources $18,234 for its portion of the one-time transaction costs related to the separation and distribution. Per the SDA, these costs are split equally by the two companies. These costs consist of consulting and professional fees associated with preparing for and executing the separation and distribution, as well as various other items.

Corporate Allocations

Prior to the completion of the separation and distribution, the Company utilized centralized functions of ParentCo to support its operations, and in return, ParentCo allocated certain of its expenses to the Company. Such expenses represent costs related, but not limited, to treasury, legal, accounting, insurance, information technology, payroll administration, human resources, incentive plans and other services. These costs, together with an allocation of ParentCo overhead costs, are included within the Selling, General and Administrative Costs caption on the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income. Where it was possible to specifically attribute such expenses to activities of the Company, amounts have been charged or credited directly to the Company without allocation or apportionment. Allocation of all other such expenses was based on a reasonable reflection of the utilization of service provided or benefits received by the Company during the periods presented on a consistent basis, such as a percentage of total revenue and a percentage of total projected capital expenditures. The Company's management supports the methods used in allocating expenses and believes these methods to be reasonable estimates.

CONSOL Coal Resources LP

In July 2015, CONSOL Coal Resources LP closed its initial public offering of 5,000,000 common units representing limited partnership interests at a price to the public of $15.00 per unit. Additionally, Greenlight Capital entered into a common unit purchase agreement with CCR pursuant to which Greenlight Capital agreed to purchase, and CCR agreed to sell, 5,000,000 common units at a price per unit equal to $15.00, which equates to $75,000 in net proceeds. CCR's general partner is CONSOL Coal Resources GP LLC. The underwriters of the IPO filing exercised an over-allotment option of 561,067 common units to the public at $15.00 per unit.

In connection with its IPO, CCR entered into a $400,000 senior secured revolving credit facility with certain lenders and PNC Bank, National Association (PNC), as administrative agent. Obligations under the revolving credit facility are guaranteed by CCR's subsidiaries (the guarantor subsidiaries) and are secured by substantially all of CCR's and CCR's subsidiaries' assets pursuant to a security agreement and various mortgages. Under the new revolving credit facility, CCR made an initial draw of $200,000, and after origination fees of $3,000, the net proceeds were $197,000.

The total net proceeds related to these transactions that were distributed to ParentCo were $342,711.

In September 2016, CCR and its wholly owned subsidiary, CONSOL Thermal, entered into a Contribution Agreement with ParentCo, CONSOL Pennsylvania Coal Company LLC and Conrhein Coal Company under which CONSOL Thermal acquired an additional 5% undivided interest in and to the Pennsylvania Mining Complex, in exchange for (i) cash consideration in the amount of $21,500 and (ii) CCR's issuance of 3,956,496 Class A Preferred Units representing limited partnership interests in CCR at an issue price of $17.01 per Class A Preferred Unit (the “Class A Preferred Unit Issue Price”), or an aggregate $67,300 in equity consideration. The Class A Preferred Unit Issue Price was calculated as the volume-weighted average trading price of CCR’s common units (the “Common Units”) over the trailing 15-day trading period ending on September 29, 2016 (or $14.79 per unit), plus a 15% premium.

In October 2017, ParentCo elected to have the 3,956,496 Class A Preferred Units, representing its limited partnership interest in CCR, converted into an equal number of Common Units under the terms of the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of CCR.

In connection with the PAMC acquisition, in September 2016, CCR's General Partner and CCR entered into the First Amended and Restated Omnibus Agreement (the “Amended Omnibus Agreement”) with ParentCo and certain of its subsidiaries. Under the Amended Omnibus Agreement, ParentCo indemnified CCR for certain liabilities. The Amended Omnibus Agreement also amended CCR’s obligations to ParentCo with respect to the payment of an annual administrative support fee and reimbursement for the provisions of certain management and operating services provided, in each case to reflect structural changes in how those services are provided to CCR by ParentCo. The Company assumed this agreement as part of the separation and distribution.

On November 28, 2017, the Company also entered into an Affiliated Company Credit Agreement with the Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries (the Partnership Credit Parties) under which the Company provides as lender a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $275 million to the Partnership Credit Parties. In connection with the completion of the separation, the Partnership drew an initial $201 million, the net proceeds of which were used to repay its then-existing senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Old Partnership Revolver”) and to provide working capital for the Partnership following the separation and for other general corporate purposes.

The Affiliated Company Credit Agreement matures on February 27, 2023. Interest accrues at a rate ranging from 3.75% to 4.75%, subject to the Partnership's net leverage ratio. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, $1,976 and $4,110 of interest expense is included in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income, respectively. The collateral obligations under the Affiliated Company Credit Agreement generally mirror the Old Partnership Revolver, as does the list of entities that will act as guarantors thereunder. The Affiliated Company Credit Agreement is subject to financial covenants relating to a maximum first lien gross leverage ratio and a maximum total net leverage ratio, which will be calculated on a consolidated basis for the Partnership and its restricted subsidiaries at the end of each fiscal quarter. The Partnership was in compliance with each of these financial covenants at June 30, 2018. The Affiliated Company Credit Agreement also contains a number of customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants, including limitations on the ability of the Partnership to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, and make investments, acquisitions, dispositions, restricted payments, and prepayments of junior indebtedness (subject to certain limited exceptions).

Charges for services from the Company include the following:

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, CCR had a net payable to the Company in the amount of $3,455 and $3,071, respectively. This payable includes reimbursements for business expenses, executive fees, stock-based compensation and other items under the omnibus agreement.
