The Partnership will make the quarterly distributions within 60 days after the end of each quarter to the unitholders of record on the applicable record date.

The actual amount of cash that is available to be distributed each quarter depends on numerous factors, some of which are beyond our control and the control of the general partner. The actual amount of cash we have to distribute each quarter is reduced by payments in respect of debt service and other contractual obligations, fixed charges, maintenance capital expenditures and reserves for future operating or capital needs that the board of directors may determine are appropriate.

Depending upon your basis in the units, a portion of the cash received may be tax deferred. In addition a substantial portion of the income that will be allocated to you is expected to be long-term capital gain, which for individuals is subject to a significantly lower maximum federal income tax rate than ordinary income.

Appropriate information is provided on the Form K-1 to file the necessary returns. You should contact your tax adviser regarding applicable state income taxes. The partnership owns assets in all of the states listed below. Each of these states currently impose a personal income tax.

In addition NRP owns assets and generates income in Florida, Texas, and Wyoming none of which currently impose personal income taxes.

The partnership does have UBTI making this investment not suitable for IRA’s and regulated investment companies.

While the security is not prohibited from being held by a non-U.S. person, any distributions to non-U.S. persons will be reduced by withholding tax at the highest effective tax rate applicable to individuals, and non U.S. unitholders will be required to file federal income tax returns and pay tax on their share of our taxable income.

While investing in NRP through an IRA is not prohibited, it may not be advisable. Under certain circumstances, due to unrelated business taxable income, the income may be taxable to the unitholder even though it is held in an IRA. Before investing in NRP through an IRA it is advisable that you speak with your tax adviser.
