    <TD>Distributable cash flow represents net income plus depletion and amortization minus principal
payments. Distributable cash flow is a &#147;non-GAAP financial measure&#148; that is presented because
management believes it is a useful adjunct to net cash provided by operating activities under
GAAP. Distributable cash flow is a significant liquidity metric that is an indicator of NRP&#146;s
ability to generate cash flows at a level that can sustain or support an increase in quarterly
cash distributions paid to its partners. Distributable cash flow is also the quantitative
standard used throughout the investment community with respect to publicly-traded
partnerships. Distributable cash flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP
and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or
financing activities. We believe that &#147;net cash provided by operating activities&#148; would be
the most comparable financial measure to distributable cash. However, due to the substantial
uncertainties associated with forecasting future changes to operating assets and liabilities,
we cannot provide guidance on forward-looking net cash provided by operating activities or
provide reconciliations of distributable cash flow to that measure.</TD>
