This information should be provided for the same period(s) for which Selected Financial Data and Supplementary Financial Information are required to be provided. Additional or other information should be provided if material to an understanding of each partnership proposed to be included in a roll-up transaction.
   
   
2. Provide pro forma financial information (including oil and gas reserves and cash flow disclosure, if appropriate), assuming:

   2. Participation in a roll-up transaction of those partnerships that on a combined basis have the lowest combined net cash provided by operating activities for the last fiscal year of such partnerships, provided participation by such partnerships satisfies all conditions to consummation of the roll-up transaction. If the combination of all partnerships proposed to be included in a roll-up transaction results in such lowest combined net cash provided by operating activities, this shall be noted and no separate pro forma financial statements are required.
      
      
3. The pro forma financial statements required by paragraph (b) of this Item shall disclose the effect of the roll-up transaction on the successor's:

   2. Statement of income (with separate line items to reflect income (loss) excluding and including the roll-up expenses and payments), earnings per share amounts, and ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the most recent fiscal year and the latest interim period;
      
      
   3. Statement of cash flows for the most recent fiscal year and the latest interim period; and
      
      
   4. Book value per share as of the later of the end of the most recent fiscal year or the latest interim period.

1. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Item, any or all of the information required by paragraphs (b) and (c) of this Item that is not material for the exercise of prudent judgment in regard to the matter to be acted upon, may be omitted.
   
   
2. If the roll-up transaction is structured to permit participation by portions of partnerships, consideration should be given to the effect of such participation in preparing the pro forma financial statements reflecting a partial roll-up.
