EXPLANATORY NOTE





Westmoreland Resource Partners, LP (the “Partnership”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-Q/A (this “Amendment”) to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2017, which was originally filed on May 15, 2017 (the “Original Filing”), solely to: (a) update the information in Part II - Item 4 - Controls and Procedures to include the information required by Item 307 of Regulation S-K, which was inadvertently omitted from the Original Filing; and (b) update Part II - Item 6 - Exhibits to reflect the exhibits filed with this Amendment.  As required by Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Partnership’s management evaluated, with the participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2017 before filing the Original Filing.  Based on that evaluation, the Partnership’s management concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.





Other than as set forth herein, this Amendment does not modify or update the Original Filing in any way, and the parts or exhibits of the Original Filing which have not been modified or updated are not included in this Amendment. This Amendment continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing and the Partnership has not updated the disclosure contained herein to reflect events that have occurred since the filing of the Original Filing. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s other filings made with the Securities and Exchange Commission since the filing of the Original Filing, including amendments to those filings, if any.

|Item 1 | -CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES




Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures





As required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), management has evaluated, with the participation of our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2017. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that material information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC. Disclosure controls and procedures also include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding our required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of such date.


Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting





Beginning January 1, 2017, the Partnership implemented a new enterprise resource planning (“ERP”) system which will improve the timeliness and quality of information (including financial information) to all appropriate levels of Partnership personnel. The integration was not in response to any identified deficiency or material weakness in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. The integration of the ERP system will likely affect the processes included in our internal controls over financial reporting and will require testing for operating effectiveness.





Also beginning January 1, 2017 and in connection with the implementation of the new ERP system discussed immediately above, the Partnership initiated the centralization of controls from our local office in Coshocton, Ohio to the Partnership’s corporate offices in Englewood, CO. The centralization was not in response to any identified deficiency or material weakness in the Partnership’s internal controls over financial reporting. The centralization will be completed throughout 2017 and will affect the processes that constitute our internal controls over financial reporting. The centralized control framework will require testing for operating effectiveness.
