(the “Partnership”) is a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership that commenced operations on* January 31, 2003.Our business may*be described as the acquisition, ownership and administration of Royalty Properties (which consist of producing and nonproducing mineral, royalty, overriding royalty, net profits, and leasehold interests located in 593 counties and parishes in 28 states (“Royalty Properties”)) and net profits overriding royalty interests (referred to as the “Net Profits Interest”, or “NPI”).
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Partnership have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). 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. 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.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries Dorchester Minerals Oklahoma LP, Dorchester Minerals Oklahoma GP, Inc., Maecenas Minerals LLP, Dorchester-Maecenas GP LLC, The Buffalo Co., A Limited Partnership, DMLPTBC GP LLC, and DMLP Terra Firma LLC. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Certain amounts in the prior‑period condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current‑period presentation. Management believes these reclassifications enhance the clarity and consistency of the financial statement presentation. These are presentation only reclassifications and hadno effect on total assets, total liabilities, partnership capital, net income, or cash flows for any periods presented.
