The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements donot include all of the disclosures required for complete annual financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s Annual Report. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal and recurring adjustments unless indicated otherwise) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position and operating results for the interim period. Interim period results arenot necessarily indicative of the results for the calendar year. For more information regarding limitations on the forward-looking statements contained herein, see page1 of this Quarterly Report on Form10-Q. Per unit information is calculated by dividing the income or loss applicable to holders of the Partnership’s common units by the weighted average number of units outstanding. The Partnership hasno potentially dilutive securities and, consequently, basic and diluted income per unit donot differ.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. The Partnership evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis, using historical experience, consultation with experts and other methods the Partnership considers reasonable in each circumstance. Any effects on the Partnership’s business, financial position, or results of operations resulting from revisions to these estimates are recorded in the period in which the facts that give rise to the revision become known. Although the Partnership believes these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In* November 2023,the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic280*): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU2023-07”), which expands a public entity’s annual and interim disclosure requirements about their reportable segments, primarily through more detailed disclosures about significant segment expenses. Public entities with a single reportable segment are required to apply the disclosure requirements in ASU2023-07, as well as all existing segment disclosures in ASC280 on an interim and annual basis. ASU2023-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after* December 15, 2023,and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024,with early adoption permitted. Management is currently evaluating ASU2023*-07 to determine its impact on the Partnership's disclosures. We donot anticipate this update to have a material impact on the Partnership’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
The Partnership considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. There areno other recent accounting pronouncementsnot yet adopted that are expected to have a material effect on the Partnership upon adoption.
