EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) on Form 10-K/A, which amends the item identified below with respect to the Form 10-K filed by Atlas America Public #14-2005 (A) L.P. (the “Partnership”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2014 (the “Original Filing”), is being filed to reflect revisions to ITEM 9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES to revise (1) the Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures, and (2) to include in Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting management’s conclusion with respect to the effectiveness thereof as of December 31, 2013.

 

Except for the foregoing amended and restated information, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. This Amendment continues to describe conditions as of the date of the Original Filing, and the disclosures contained herein have not been updated to reflect events, results, or developments that have occurred after the Original Filing, or to modify or update those disclosures affected by subsequent events.

ITEM  9A: CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES 

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Securities Exchange Act of 1934 reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our general partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. 

Under the supervision of our general partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and with the participation of our disclosure committee appointed by such officers, we have carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. As reported in the Original Filing, our general partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2013. Subsequent to the filing of the Original Filing, management identified that we had failed to include our final conclusion on internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2013 within Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting included within Item 9A of the Original Filing, resulting in our filing of an amendment to the Original Filing on this Form 10-K/A. In re-evaluating disclosure controls and procedures in light of the omission from the Original Filing, our general partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of December 31, 2013, our disclosure controls, and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level. 

Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

The management of our general partner is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our general partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based upon criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in the 1992 Internal Control – Integrated Framework (COSO framework). 

An effective internal control system, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations, including the possibility of human error and circumvention or overriding of controls and therefore can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to reliable financial reporting. Furthermore, effectiveness of an internal control system in future periods cannot be guaranteed because the design of any system of internal controls is based in part upon assumptions about the likelihood of future events. There can be no assurance that any control design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time certain controls may become inadequate because of changes in business conditions, or the degree of compliance with policies and procedures may deteriorate. As such, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. 

Based on our evaluation under the COSO framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective at the reasonable assurance level as of December 31, 2013. This annual report does not include an attestation report by our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting because such a report is not required pursuant to the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. 

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter of 2013 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
