Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
June 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
Unless the context requires otherwise, references to
we,us,our or the
Partnership mean Crosstex Energy, L.P. and its
consolidated subsidiaries.
Crosstex Energy, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership formed on
July 12, 2002, is engaged in the gathering, transmission,
treating, processing and marketing of natural gas and natural
gas liquids (NGLs). The Partnership connects the wells of
natural gas producers in the geographic areas of its gathering
systems in order to purchase the gas production, treats natural
gas to remove impurities to ensure that it meets pipeline
quality specifications, processes natural gas for the removal of
NGLs, transports natural gas and NGLs and ultimately provides
natural gas to a variety of markets. In addition, the
Partnership purchases natural gas and NGLs from producers not
connected to its gathering systems for resale and sells natural
gas and NGLs on behalf of producers for a fee.
Crosstex Energy GP, L.P. is the general partner of the
Partnership. Crosstex Energy GP, L.P. is an indirect,
wholly-owned subsidiary of Crosstex Energy, Inc. (CEI).
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are
prepared in accordance with the instructions to
Form 10-Q,
are unaudited and do not include all the information and
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. All adjustments that, in the
opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of
the results of operations for the interim periods have been made
and are of a recurring nature unless otherwise disclosed herein.
Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated
financial statements for the prior years to conform to the
current presentation. The results of operations for such interim
periods are not necessarily indicative of results of operations
for a full year. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. These
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto
included in our annual report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006.
|
|
(a)
|
Managements
Use of Estimates
|
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America requires management of the Partnership to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts
of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could
differ from these estimates.
|
|
(b)
|
Long-Term
Incentive Plans
|
Effective January 1, 2006, the Partnership adopted the
provisions of SFAS No. 123R, Share-Based
Compensation (FAS No. 123R) which requires
compensation related to all stock-based awards, including stock
options, be recognized in the consolidated financial statements.
The Partnership applied the provisions of Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued
to Employees (APB No. 25), for periods prior to
January 1, 2006.
The Partnership elected to use the modified-prospective
transition method. Under the modified-prospective method, awards
that are granted, modified, repurchased, or canceled after the
date of adoption are measured and accounted for under
FAS No. 123R. The unvested portion of awards that were
granted prior to the effective date are also accounted for in
accordance with FAS No. 123R. The Partnership adjusted
compensation cost for actual forfeitures as they occurred under
APB No. 25 for periods prior to January 1, 2006. Under
FAS No. 123R, the Partnership is required to estimate
forfeitures in determining periodic compensation cost. The
cumulative effect of the adoption of FAS No. 123R
recognized on January 1, 2006 was an increase in net income
of $0.7 million due to

Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
the reduction in previously recognized compensation costs
associated with the estimation of forfeitures in determining the
periodic compensation cost.
The Partnership and CEI each have similar share-based payment
plans for employees, which are described below. Share-based
compensation associated with the CEI share-based compensation
plans awarded to officers and employees of the Partnership are
recorded by the Partnership since CEI has no operating
activities other than its interest in the Partnership. Amounts
recognized in the consolidated financial statements with respect
to these plans are as follows (in thousands):

Earnings
per Unit and Dilution Computations
|
The Partnerships common units and subordinated units
participate in earnings and distributions in the same manner for
all historical periods and are therefore presented as a single
class of common units for earnings per unit computations. The
various series of senior subordinated units are also considered
common securities, but because they do not participate in cash
distributions during the subordination period are presented as
separate classes of common equity. Each of the senior
subordinated series of units were issued at a discount to the
market price of the common units they are convertible into at
the end of the subordination period. These discounts represent
beneficial conversion features (BCFs) under
EITF 98-5:
Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial
Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion
Ratios. Under
EITF 98-5
and related accounting guidance, a BCF represents a non-cash
distribution that is treated in the same way as a cash
distribution for earnings per unit computations. Since the
conversions of all the senior subordinated series units into
common units are contingent (as described with the terms of such
units) until the end of the subordination periods for each
series of units, the BCF associated with each series of senior
subordinated units is not reflected in earnings per unit until
the end of such

subordination periods when the criteria for conversion are met.

partners were allocated a net loss in the periods.
Net income is allocated to the general partner in an amount
equal to its incentive distributions as described in Note (4).
The general partners share of net income is reduced by
stock-based compensation expense attributed to CEI stock options
and restricted stock. The remaining net income after incentive
distributions and CEI-related stock-based compensation is
allocated pro rata between the 2% general partner interest, the
subordinated units

Recent
Accounting Pronouncements
|
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48
(FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes. FIN 48 is an interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model
for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the
financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected
to be taken. The Partnership adopted FIN 48 effective
January 1, 2007. There was no impact to the
Partnerships financial statements as a result of
FIN 48.
On September 13, 2006, the Securities Exchange Commission
(SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108
(SAB 108), which establishes an approach that requires
quantification of financial statement errors based on the
effects of the error on each of the companys financial
statements and the related disclosures. SAB 108 requires
the use of a balance sheet and an income statement approach to
evaluate whether either of these approaches results in
quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative
and qualitative factors are considered, is material. The
Partnership adopted SAB 108 effective October 1, 2006
with no material impact on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
requires enhanced disclosures regarding fair value measurements.
While SFAS 157 does not add any new fair value
measurements, it is intended to increase consistency and
comparability of such measurement. The provisions of
SFAS 157 will be effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this
standard will not have a material impact on our results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities Including an amendment to FASB Statement
No. 115 (SFAS 159) permits entities to choose to
measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair
value. Changes in the fair value on items for which the fair
value option has been elected are recognized in earnings each
reporting period. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation
and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparisons between
the different measurement attributes elected for similar types
of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently
evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of
SFAS 159 will have on our financial statements.

Significant
Asset Purchases and Acquisitions
|
On June 29, 2006, the Partnership acquired certain natural
gas gathering pipeline systems and related facilities in the
Barnett Shale (the North Texas Gathering (NTG) assets) from
Chief Holdings LLC (Chief) for a purchase price of approximately
$475.3 million (the Chief Acquisition). The NTG assets
include five gathering systems, located in parts of Parker,
Tarrant, Denton, Palo Pinto, Erath, Hood, Somervell, Hill and
Johnson counties in Texas. The NTG assets also included a
125 million cubic feet per day carbon dioxide treating
plant and compression
14

Statements (Continued)
facilities with 26,000 horsepower. The gas gathering systems
consisted of approximately 210 miles of existing gathering
pipelines, ranging from four inches to twelve inches in diameter.
Simultaneously with the Chief Acquisition, the Partnership
entered into a gas gathering agreement with Devon Energy
Corporation (Devon) whereby the Partnership has agreed to
gather, and Devon has agreed to dedicate and deliver, the future
production on acreage that Devon acquired from Chief
(approximately 160,000 net acres). Under the agreement,
Devon has committed to deliver all of the production from the
dedicated acreage into the gathering system, including
production from current wells and wells that it drills in the
future. The Partnership will expand the gathering system to
reach the new wells as they are drilled. The agreement has a
15-year term
and provides for a fixed gathering fee over the term. In
addition to the Devon agreement, approximately 60,000 additional
net acres were dedicated to the NTG assets under agreements with
other producers.
The Partnership utilized the purchase method of accounting for
the acquisition of the NTG assets with an acquisition date of
June 29, 2006. The Partnership recognizes the gathering fee
income received from Devon and other producers who deliver gas
into the NTG assets as revenue at the time the natural gas is
delivered. The purchase price and allocation thereof are as

Intangibles relate primarily to the value of the dedicated and
non-dedicated acreage attributable to the system, including the
agreement with Devon, and are being amortized using the units of
throughput method of amortization.
The Partnership financed the Chief Acquisition with borrowings
of approximately $105.0 million under its bank credit
facility, net proceeds of approximately $368.3 million from
the private placement of senior subordinated series C
units, including approximately $9.0 million of equity
contributions from Crosstex Energy GP, L.P., the general partner
of the Partnership and an indirect subsidiary of CEI, and
$6.0 million of cash.

There are substantial differences in the way Chief operated the
NTG assets during pre-acquisition periods and the way the
Partnership operates these assets post-acquisition. Although the
unaudited pro forma results of operations include adjustments to
reflect the significant effects of the acquisition, these pro
forma results do not purport to present the results of
operations had the acquisition actually been completed as of
January 1, 2006.

Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2007, the
Partnership has a bank credit facility with a borrowing capacity
of $1.0 billion that matures in June 2011. As of
June 30, 2007, $765.8 million was outstanding under
the bank credit facility, including $125.8 million of
letters of credit, leaving approximately $234.2 million
available for future borrowing.
In April 2007, the Partnership amended its bank credit facility
to increase the maximum permitted leverage ratio for the fiscal
quarter ending September 30, 2007 and each fiscal quarter
thereafter. The maximum leverage ratio (total funded debt to
consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization) is as follows (provided, however, that during an
acquisition period, the maximum leverage ratio shall be
increased by 0.50 to 1.00 from the otherwise applicable ratio
set forth below):
|
|
|
|
|
5.25 to 1.00 for fiscal quarters through December 31, 2007;
|
16
CROSSTEX
ENERGY, L.P.
Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
|
|
|
|
|
5.00 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008
through September 2008;
|
|
|
|
4.75 to 1.00 for fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2008
and March 31, 2009; and
|
|
|
|
4.50 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending thereafter.
|
Additionally, the credit facility provides that (i) if the
Partnership or its subsidiaries incur unsecured note
indebtedness, the leverage ratio will shift to a two-tiered
structure and (ii) during periods where the Partnership has
outstanding unsecured note indebtedness, the Partnerships
leverage ratio cannot exceed 5.50 to 1.00 and the
Partnerships senior leverage ratio cannot exceed 4.50 to
1.00. The other material terms and conditions of the credit
facility remained unchanged.
The Partnership is subject to interest rate risk on its credit
facility and has entered into interest rate swaps to reduce this
risk. See Note (5) to the financial statements for a
discussion of interest rate swaps.
Senior Secured Notes. In April 2007, the
Partnership amended the senior note agreement, effective as of
March 30, 2007, to (i) provide that if the
Partnerships leverage ratio at the end of any fiscal
quarter exceeds certain limitations, the Partnership will pay
the holders of the note an excess leverage fee based on the
daily average outstanding principal balance of the notes during
such fiscal quarter multiplied by certain percentages set forth
in the senior note agreement; (ii) increase the rate of
interest on each note by 0.25% if, at any given time during an
acquisition period (as defined in the senior note agreement),
the leverage ratio exceeds 5.25 to 1.00; (iii) cause the
leverage ratio to shift to a two-tiered structure if the
Partnership or its subsidiaries incur unsecured note
indebtedness; and (iv) limit the Partnerships
leverage ratio to 5.25 to 1.00 and the Partnerships senior
leverage ratio to 4.25 to 1.00 during periods where the
Partnership has outstanding unsecured note indebtedness. The
other material items and conditions of the senior note agreement
remained unchanged.
The Partnership was in compliance with all debt covenants as of
June 30, 2007 and expects to be in compliance with debt
covenants for the next twelve months.
Issuance
of Senior Subordinated Series D Units
On March 23, 2007, the Partnership issued an aggregate of
3,875,340 senior subordinated series D units representing
limited partner interests of the Partnership in a private
offering for net proceeds of approximately $99.9 million.
The senior subordinated series D units were issued at
$25.80 per unit, which represented a discount of approximately
25% to the market value of common units on such date. The
discount represented an underwriting discount plus the fact that
the units will not receive a distribution nor be readily
transferable for two years. Crosstex Energy GP, L.P. made a
general partner contribution of $2.7 million in connection
with this issuance to maintain its 2% general partner interest.
The senior subordinated series D units will automatically
convert into common units representing limited partner interests
of the Partnership on the first date on or after March 23,
2009 that conversion is permitted by its partnership agreement
at a ratio of one common unit for each senior subordinated
series D unit, subject to adjustment depending on the
achievement of financial metrics in the fourth quarter of 2008.
The Partnerships partnership agreement will permit the
conversion of the senior subordinated series D units to
common units once the subordination period ends or if the
issuance is in connection with an acquisition that increases
cash flow from operations per unit on a pro forma basis. If not
able to convert on March 23, 2009, then the holders of such
units will have the right to receive, after payment of the
minimum quarterly distribution on the Partnerships common
units but prior to any payment on the Partnerships
subordinated units, distributions equal to 110% of the quarterly
cash distribution amount payable on common units. The senior
subordinated series D units are not entitled to
distributions of available cash or allocation of net income/loss
from the Partnership until March 23, 2009.

Cash
Distributions
In accordance with the partnership agreement, the Partnership
must make distributions of 100% of available cash, as defined in
the partnership agreement, within 45 days following the end
of each quarter. Distributions will generally be made 98% to the
common and subordinated unitholders (other than the senior
subordinated unitholders) and 2% to the general partner, subject
to the payment of incentive distributions to the extent that
certain target levels of cash distributions are achieved. Under
the quarterly incentive distribution provisions, generally our
general partner is entitled to 13% of amounts we distribute in
excess of $0.25 per unit, 23% of the amounts we distribute in
excess of $0.3125 per unit and 48% of amounts we distribute in
excess of $0.375 per unit. Incentive distributions totaling
$5.8 million and $5.0 million were earned by our
general partner for the three months ended June 30, 2007
and June 30, 2006, respectively. Incentive distributions
totaling $11.3 million and $9.7 million were earned in
the six-month period ending June 30, 2007 and June 30,
2006, respectively. To the extent there is sufficient available
cash, the holders of common units are entitled to receive the
minimum quarterly distribution of $0.25 per unit, plus
arrearages, prior to any distribution of available cash to the
holders of subordinated units. Subordinated units will not
accrue any arrearages with respect to distributions for any
quarter.
The Partnership has declared a second quarter 2007 distribution
of $0.57 per unit to be paid on August 15, 2007 to
unitholders of record as of August 2, 2007.
Interest
Rate Swaps
The Partnership is subject to interest rate risk on its credit
facility and has entered into interest rate swaps to reduce this
risk. In March 2007, the Partnership entered into an interest
rate swap covering a principal amount of $50.0 million
under the credit facility for a period of three years. In
November 2006, the Partnership also entered into an interest
rate swap covering a principal amount of $50.0 million. The
March 2007 interest rate swap fixes the three month LIBOR rate,
prior to credit margin, at 4.875% on $50.0 million of
related debt outstanding over the term of the swap agreement
which expires on March 31, 2010. The November 2006 interest
rate swap fixes the three month LIBOR rate, prior to credit
margin, at 4.95% on $50.0 million of related debt
outstanding over the term of the swap agreement which expires on
November 30, 2009. The Partnership has elected to designate
the March 2007 interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge for
FAS 133 accounting treatment but has not designated the
November 2006 interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge.
Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses relating to the March
2007 interest rate swap are recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income until the related interest rate expense is
recognized in earnings and unrealized gains and losses relating
to the November 2006 interest rate swap are recorded through the
consolidated statement of operations in gain on derivatives over
the period hedged.

Commodity
Swaps
The Partnership manages its exposure to fluctuations in
commodity prices by hedging the impact of market fluctuations.
Swaps are used to manage and hedge prices and location risk
related to these market exposures. Swaps are also used to manage
margins on offsetting fixed-price purchase or sale commitments
for physical quantities of natural gas and NGLs.
The Partnership commonly enters into various derivative
financial transactions which it does not designate as hedges.
These transactions include swing swaps, third
party on-system financial swaps, marketing financial
swaps, storage swaps, basis swaps
and processing margin swaps. Swing swaps are
generally short-term in nature (one month), and are usually
entered into to protect against changes in the volume of daily
versus first-of-month index priced gas supplies or markets.
Third party on-system financial swaps are hedges that the
Partnership enters into on behalf of its customers who are
connected to its systems, wherein the Partnership fixes a supply
or market price for a period of time for its customers, and
simultaneously enters into the derivative transaction. Marketing
financial swaps are similar to on-system financial swaps, but
are entered into for customers not connected to the
Partnerships systems. Storage swaps transactions protect
against changes in the value of gas that the Partnership has
stored to serve various operational requirements. Basis swaps
are used to hedge basis location price risk due to buying gas
into one of our systems on one index and selling gas off that
same system on a different index. Processing margin financial
swaps are used to hedge frac spread risk at our processing
plants relating to the option to process versus bypassing our
equity gas.

Set forth below is the summarized notional amount and terms of
all instruments held for price risk management purposes at
June 30, 2007 (all gas quantities are expressed in British
Thermal Units and all liquid quantities are expressed in
gallons). The remaining term of the contracts extend no later
than December 2008 for derivatives, excluding third-party
on-system financial swaps, and extend to June 2010 for
third-party on-system financial swaps. The Partnerships
counterparties to hedging contracts include BP Corporation,
Total Gas & Power, Fortis, UBS Energy, Morgan Stanley
and J. Aron & Co., a subsidiary of Goldman Sachs.
Changes in the fair value of the Partnerships derivatives
related to third-party producers and customers gas
marketing activities are recorded in earnings in the period the
transaction is entered into. The effective portion of changes in
the fair value of cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated
other comprehensive income until the related anticipated future
cash flow is recognized in earnings and the ineffective portion
is recorded in earnings.

Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
On all transactions where the Partnership is exposed to
counterparty risk, the Partnership analyzes the
counterpartys financial condition prior to entering into
an agreement, establishes limits, and monitors the
appropriateness of these limits on an ongoing basis.
Impact
of Cash Flow Hedges
Natural
Gas
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net gains on cash
flow hedge contracts of natural gas increased gas revenue by
$2.7 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2006,
net gains on cash flow hedge contracts of natural gas increased
gas revenue by $0.4 million. For the three months ended
June 30, 2007, net gains on cash flow hedge contracts of
natural gas increased gas revenue by $1.2 million. For the
three months ended June 30, 2006, net gains on cash flow
hedge contracts of natural gas increased gas revenue by
$0.9 million. As of June 30, 2007, an unrealized
derivative fair value net gain of $2.9 million, related to
cash flow hedges of gas price risk, was recorded in accumulated
other comprehensive income (loss). Of this net amount, a
$3.1 million gain is expected to be reclassified into
earnings through June 2008. The actual reclassification to
earnings will be based on mark-to-market prices at the contract
settlement date, along with the realization of the gain or loss
on the related physical volume, which amount is not reflected
above.
The settlement of cash flow hedge contracts related to July 2007
gas production increased gas revenue by approximately
$0.4 million.
Liquids
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, net losses on cash
flow hedge contracts of NGLs decreased liquids revenue by
approximately $0.2 million. For the six months ended
June 30, 2006, net gains on cash flow hedge contracts of
NGLs increased liquids revenue by approximately
$1.1 million. For the three months ended June 30,
2007, net losses on cash flow hedge contracts of NGLs decreased
liquids revenue by $0.8 million. For the three months ended
June 30, 2006, net losses on cash flow hedge contracts of
NGLs decreased liquids revenue by $0.1 million. For the six
months ended June 30, 2007, an unrealized derivative fair
value loss of $3.1 million related to cash flow hedges of
liquids price risk was recorded in accumulated other
comprehensive income (loss) and the $3.1 million loss is
expected to be reclassified into earnings through March 2008.
The actual reclassification to earnings will be based on
mark-to-market prices at the contract settlement date, along
with the realization of the gain or loss on the related physical
volume, which amount is not reflected above.
Derivatives
Other Than Cash Flow Hedges
Assets and liabilities related to third party derivative
contracts, puts, swing swaps, basis swaps, storage swaps and
processing margin swaps are included in the fair value of
derivative assets and liabilities and the profit and loss on the
mark to market value of these contracts are recorded net as gain
(loss) on derivatives in the consolidated statement of
operations. The Partnership estimates the fair value of all of
its energy trading contracts using prices actively quoted. The
estimated fair value of energy trading contracts by maturity

Commitments
and Contingencies
|
|
|
(a)
|
Employment
Agreements
|
Each member of senior management of the Partnership is a party
to an employment contract with the general partner. The
employment agreements provide each member of senior management
with severance payments in certain circumstances and prohibit
each such person from competing with the general partner or its
affiliates for a certain period of time following the
termination of such persons employment.
The Partnerships Cow Island Gas Processing Facility, which
was acquired in November 2005, has a known active remediation
project for benzene contaminated groundwater. The cause of
contamination was attributed to a leaking natural gas condensate
storage tank. The site investigation and active remediation
being conducted at this location is under the guidance of the
Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) based on
the Risk-Evaluation and Corrective Action Plan Program (RECAP)
rules. In addition, the Partnership is working with both the
LDEQ and the Louisiana State University, Louisiana Water
Resources Research Institute, on the development and
implementation of a new remediation technology that will reduce
the remediation time as well as the costs associated with such
remediation projects. The estimated remediation costs are
expected to be approximately $0.5 million. Since this
remediation project is a result of previous owners
operation and the actual contamination occurred prior to our
ownership, these costs were accrued as part of the purchase
price.
The Partnership is involved in various litigation and
administrative proceedings arising in the normal course of
business. In the opinion of management, any liabilities that may
result from these claims would not individually or in the
aggregate have a material adverse effect on its financial
position or results of operations.
Identification of operating segments is based principally upon
differences in the types and distribution channel of products.
The Partnerships reportable segments consist of Midstream
and Treating. The Midstream division consists of the
Partnerships natural gas gathering and transmission
operations and includes the south Louisiana processing and
liquids assets, the processing and transmission assets located
in north and south Texas, the LIG pipelines and processing
plants located in Louisiana, the Mississippi System, the Arkoma
system located in Oklahoma and various other small systems. Also
included in the Midstream division are the Partnerships
energy trading operations. The operations in the Midstream
segment are similar in the nature of the products and services,
23
CROSSTEX
ENERGY, L.P.
Notes to
Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements (Continued)
the nature of the production processes, the type of customer,
the methods used for distribution of products and services and
the nature of the regulatory environment. The Treating division
generates fees from its plants either through volume-based
treating contracts or though fixed monthly payments. The
Seminole carbon dioxide processing plant located in Gaines
County, Texas is included in the Treating division.
The Partnership evaluates the performance of its operating
segments based on operating revenues and segment profits.
Corporate expenses include general partnership expenses
associated with managing all reportable operating segments.
Corporate assets consist principally of property and equipment,
including software, for general corporate support, working
capital and debt financing costs.
Summarized financial information concerning the
Partnerships reportable segments is shown in the following
table.

Immaterial
Correction of Prior Period Financial Statements
|
In July 2007, the Partnership determined that its earnings per
unit computations in its previously-issued financial statements
for the three months ended March 31, 2006 and for each
year-to-date period for periods ended June 30, 2006,
September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2006 did not
properly reflect the presentation of a BCF related to the senior
subordinated units issued and the two-class method of earnings
per unit presentation under
EITF 03-6
as described in Note 1(c). The correction was not material
to the Partnerships consolidated financial position or
results of operations for the quarterly periods during 2006. The
following table reflects the earnings per unit computations as
previously reported and as corrected for each of the quarterly
periods during 2006:

Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations
|
You should read the following discussion of our financial
condition and results of operations in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in
this report.
Overview
We are a Delaware limited partnership formed on July 12,
2002 to indirectly acquire substantially all of the assets,
liabilities and operations of our predecessor, Crosstex Energy
Services, Ltd. We have two industry segments, Midstream and
Treating, with a geographic focus along the Texas Gulf Coast, in
the north Texas Barnett Shale area, and in Louisiana and
Mississippi. Our Midstream division focuses on the gathering,
processing, transmission and marketing of natural gas and
natural gas liquids (NGLs), as well as providing certain
producer services, while our Treating division focuses on the
removal of contaminants from natural gas and NGLs to meet
pipeline quality specifications. For the six months ended
June 30, 2007, 83% of our gross margin was generated in the
Midstream division with the balance in the Treating division. We
manage our operations by focusing on gross margin because our
business is generally to purchase and resell gas for a margin,
or to gather, process, transport, market or treat gas and NGLs
for a fee. We buy and sell most of our gas at a fixed
relationship to the relevant index price so our margins are not
significantly affected by changes in gas prices. In addition, we
receive certain fees for processing based on a percentage of the
liquids produced and enter into hedge contracts for our expected
share of the liquids to protect our margins from changes in
liquids prices. As explained under Commodity Price
Risk below, we enter into financial instruments to reduce
volatility in our gross margin due to price fluctuations.
During the past five years we have grown significantly as a
result of our construction and acquisition of gathering and
transmission pipelines and treating and processing plants. From
January 1, 2002 through June 30, 2007, we have
invested over $2.0 billion to develop or acquire new
assets. The purchased assets were acquired from numerous sellers
at different periods and were accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. Accordingly, the results of operations for
such acquisitions are included in our financial statements only
from the applicable date of the acquisition. As a consequence,
the historical results of operations for the periods presented
may not be comparable.
Our Midstream segment margins are determined primarily by the
volumes of natural gas gathered, transported, purchased and sold
through our pipeline systems or processed at our processing
facilities, and the volumes of NGLs handled at our fractionation
facilities. Our Treating segment margins are largely a function
of the number and size of treating plants in operation and fees
earned for removing impurities from NGLs at a non-operated
processing plant. We generate revenues from five primary sources:
|
|
|
|
|
purchasing and reselling or transporting natural gas on the
pipeline systems we own;
|
|
|
|
processing natural gas at our processing plants and
fractionating and marketing the recovered NGLs;
|
|
|
|
treating natural gas at our treating plants;
|
|
|
|
recovering carbon dioxide and NGLs at a non-operated processing
plant; and
|
|
|
|
providing off-system marketing services for producers.
|
The bulk of our operating profits has historically been derived
from the margins we realize for gathering and transporting
natural gas through our pipeline systems. Generally, we buy gas
from a producer, plant or transporter at either a fixed discount
to a market index or a percentage of the market index. We then
transport and resell the gas. The resale price is generally
based on the same index price at which the gas was purchased,
and, if we are to be profitable, at a smaller discount or larger
premium to the index than it was purchased. We attempt to
execute all purchases and sales substantially concurrently, or
we enter into a future delivery obligation, thereby establishing
the basis for the margin we will receive for each natural gas
transaction. Our gathering and transportation margins related to
a percentage of the index price can be adversely affected by
declines in the price of natural gas. See Commodity Price
Risk below for a discussion of how we manage our business
to reduce the impact of price volatility.
27
Processing and fractionation revenues are largely fee based. Our
processing fees are usually based on either a percentage of the
liquids volume recovered or a fixed fee per unit processed.
Fractionation and marketing fees are generally a fixed fee per
unit of product.
We generate treating revenues under three arrangements:
|
|
|
|
|
a volumetric fee based on the amount of gas treated, which
accounted for approximately 27% and 37% of the operating income
in our Treating division for the six months ended June 30,
2007 and 2006, respectively;
|
|
|
|
a fixed fee for operating the plant for a certain period, which
accounted for approximately 49% and 47% of the operating income
in our Treating division for the six months ended June 30,
2007 and 2006, respectively; or
|
|
|
|
a fee arrangement in which the producer operates the plant,
which accounted for approximately 24% and 16% of the operating
income in our Treating division for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
|
Operating expenses are costs directly associated with the
operations of a particular asset. Among the most significant of
these costs are those associated with direct labor and
supervision and associated transportation and communication
costs, property insurance, ad valorem taxes, repair and
maintenance expenses, measurement and utilities. These costs are
normally fairly stable across broad volume ranges, and therefore
do not normally decrease or increase significantly in the short
term with decreases or increases in the volume of gas moved
through the asset.
Acquisitions
We have grown significantly through asset purchases in recent
years, which creates many of the major differences when
comparing operating results from one period to another. The most
significant asset purchases since January 2006 were the
acquisition of midstream assets from Chief Holding LLC (Chief)
in June 2006, the acquisition of the Hanover Compression Company
treating assets in February 2006 and the acquisition of the
amine-treating business of Cardinal Gas Solutions Limited
Partnership in October 2006.
On June 29, 2006, we acquired the natural gas gathering
pipeline systems and related facilities of Chief in the Barnett
Shale for $475.3 million. The acquired systems consist of
approximately 210 miles of existing pipeline located in
Parker, Tarrant, Denton, Palo Pinto, Erath, Hood, Somervell,
Hill and Johnson counties, all of which are located in Texas.
The acquired assets also include a 125 MMcf/d carbon
dioxide treating plant and compression facilities with 26,000
horsepower. At closing, approximately 160,000 net acres
previously owned by Chief and acquired by Devon simultaneously
with our acquisition, as well as 60,000 net acres owned by
other producers, were dedicated to the systems. Immediately
following the closing of the Chief acquisition, we began
expanding our north Texas pipeline gathering system. Since the
date of acquisition through June 30, 2007, we connected
approximately 190 new wells to our gathering system and
increased the dedicated acres owned by other producers by
approximately 37,000 net acres. In addition, we have a total of
46,000 horsepower of compression to handle the increased
volumes and provide low-pressure gathering service. We also
added two processing plants totaling 85,000 Mcf/d of processing
capacity and two 30,000 Mcf/d dew point control plants (JT
plants) in order to remove hydrocarbon liquids from growing gas
streams, and we are building an additional 200,000 Mcf/d
processing plant to be in operation in the third quarter 2007.
We have also installed a 40 gallon per minute amine treating
facility to provide carbon dioxide removal capability. We have
increased total throughput on this gathering system from
approximately 115 MMcf/d at the time of acquisition to
350 MMcf/d for the month of June 2007. We refer to the
acquired assets and the other gathering assets we are building
in the area as the North Texas Gathering (NTG) assets.
On February 1, 2006, we acquired 48 amine treating plants
from a subsidiary of Hanover Compression Company for
$51.7 million.
On October 3, 2006, we acquired the amine-treating business
of Cardinal Gas Solutions Limited Partnership for
$6.3 million. The acquisition added 10 dew point control
plants and 50% of seven amine-treating plants to our plant
portfolio. On March 28, 2007, we acquired the remaining 50%
interest in the amine-treating plants for approximately
$1.5 million.

Three
Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Three Months Ended
June 30, 2006
Gross Margin and Profit on Energy Trading
Activities. Midstream gross margin was
$75.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007
compared to $52.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2006, an increase of $22.8 million, or 43.1%.
This increase was primarily due to system expansion projects,
increased throughput and a favorable processing environment for
NGLs. Profit on energy trading activities showed only a slight
increase for the comparative period.
We acquired the North Texas Gathering (NTG) assets from Chief in
June 2006. These assets combined with the North Texas Pipeline
(NTPL) and related facilities contributed $17.0 million of
gross margin growth during the three months ended June 30,
2007 over the same period in 2006. The NTPL and NTG assets
accounted for $14.5 million of this increase. The
processing facilities in the region contributed an additional
$2.4 million of this gross margin increase. Operational
improvements, system expansion and increased volume on the LIG
system coupled with optimization and integration with the south
Louisiana processing assets contributed a margin growth of
$4.6 million during the second quarter of 2007 over the
same period in 2006. Volume increases on the Mississippi and
east Texas systems contributed gross margin growth of
$1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively.
Treating gross margin was $14.0 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $13.4 million
in the same period in 2006, an increase of $0.6 million, or
4.5%. Treating plants, dew point control plants, and related
equipment in service increased from 178 plants at June 30,
2006 to 195 plants at June 30, 2007. Gross margin growth
for the period is attributed to plant additions from inventory.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were
$30.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007
compared to $22.8 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2006, an increase of $7.1 million, or 31.2%.
The $7.1 million increase in operating expenses primarily
relates to the NTPL, the NTG assets and the north Louisiana
operations expansion. Operating expenses included
$0.4 million of stock-based compensation expense for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
$0.3 million of stock-based compensation expense for the
three months ended June 30, 2006.
General and Administrative Expenses. General
and administrative expenses were $14.8 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
$10.9 million for the three months ended June 30,
2006, an increase of
29
$3.9 million, or 36.0%. A substantial part of the increased
expenses resulted primarily from staffing related costs of
$2.2 million. The staff additions associated with the
requirements of the NTG assets, NTPL and the expansion in north
Louisiana accounted for the majority of the $2.2 million
increase. General and administrative expenses included
stock-based compensation expense of $2.4 million and
$1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007
and 2006, respectively. The $0.5 million increase in
stock-based compensation primarily relates to increased staffing
and additional grants for comparative periods.
Gain on Sale of Property. The
$1.0 million gain on property sold during the three months
ended June 30, 2007 primarily relates to the disposition of
unused catalyst material.
Gain/Loss on Derivatives. We had a gain on
derivatives of $1.3 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to a loss of $3.9 million for
the three months ended June 30, 2006. The gain in 2007
includes a net gain of $1.5 million associated with our
basis swaps (including $1.9 million of realized gains),
gains of $0.4 million associated with our storage financial
transactions and a gain of $0.6 million associated with our
interest rate swaps. These gains were partially offset by a loss
of $1.0 million associated with our processing margin
hedges (including $0.7 million of realized losses) and loss
of $0.2 million related to our puts and ineffectiveness.
The loss in 2006 includes a loss of $2.7 million on our
puts acquired in 2005 related to the acquisition of the south
Louisiana assets and a loss of $1.4 million associated with
our basis swaps offset by net gains of $0.2 million
associated with our third-party on-system and storage financial
transactions and ineffectiveness. As of June 30, 2007, the
fair value of the puts was less than $0.1 million.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation
and amortization expenses were $25.5 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
$18.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
2006, an increase of $6.8 million, or 36.4%. Midstream
depreciation and amortization increased $4.2 million due to
the acquisition of the NTG assets and $1.6 million due to
the NTPL, which was placed in service in April 2006. The north
Louisiana expansion generated an increase in depreciation
between periods of $1.6 million.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was
$18.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007
compared to $11.9 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2006, an increase of $6.7 million, or 56.6%.
The increase relates primarily to an increase in debt
outstanding and to higher interest rates between three-month
periods (weighted average rate of 7.0% in the 2007 period
compared to 6.8% in the 2006 period).
Six
Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to Six Months Ended
June 30, 2006
Gross Margin and Profit on Energy Trading
Activities. Midstream gross margin was
$134.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007
compared to $99.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2006, an increase of $34.7 million, or 35%.
This increase was primarily due to system expansion projects,
increased throughput and a favorable processing environment for
NGLs. Profit on energy trading activities showed only a slight
increase for the comparative period.
We acquired the bulk of the NTG assets from Chief in June 2006.
These assets combined with the NTPL and related facilities
contributed $30.9 million of gross margin growth during the
six months ended June 30, 2007 over the same period in
2006. The NTPL and NTG assets accounted for $26.1 million
of this increase. The processing facilities in the region
contributed an additional $3.7 million of this gross margin
increase. Operational improvements, system expansion and
increased volume on the LIG system coupled with optimization and
integration with the south Louisiana processing assets
contributed a margin growth of $3.8 million during the
second quarter of 2007 over the same period in 2006.
Treating gross margin was $28.0 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to $25.1 million for the
same period in 2006, an increase of $2.9 million, or 11.6%.
Treating plants, dew point control plants, and related equipment
in service increased from 178 plants at June 30, 2006 to
195 plants at June 30, 2007. Gross margin growth for the
period is attributed to plant additions from inventory.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were
$57.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007
compared to $44.8 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2006, an increase of $12.5 million, or 27.9%.
The increase in operating expenses primarily reflects the
operations of the NTPL, the NTG assets and the north Louisiana
expansion. Operating expenses included $0.7 million of
stock-based compensation expense for the six
30
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $0.5 million of
stock-based compensation expense for the six months ended
June 30, 2006.
General and Administrative Expenses. General
and administrative expenses were $26.9 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
$22.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006,
an increase of $4.6 million, or 20.7%. The staff additions
associated with the requirements of the NTPL the NTG assets and
the expansion in north Louisiana accounted for $2.6 million
in increased costs. General and administrative expenses included
stock-based compensation expense of $4.4 million and
$3.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
2007 and 2006, respectively. The $1.0 million increase in
stock-based compensation primarily relates to restricted stock
and unit grants and increased headcount between comparative
periods. Other expenses, including audit, legal and other
consulting fees, office rent, travel and training accounted for
$1.0 million of the increase.
Gain on Sale of Property. The
$1.8 million gain on sale of property for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 consists of the disposition of unused
catalyst material for $1.0 million and the sale of a
treating plant for $0.9 million, offset by losses on
disposition of other treating equipment.
Gain/Loss on Derivatives. We had a gain on
derivatives of $4.5 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to a loss of $1.8 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2006. The gain in 2007
includes a net gain of $5.2 million associated with our
basis swaps (including $2.7 million of realized gains),
gains of $0.3 million associated with our third-party
on-system and storage financial transactions and a gain of
$0.5 million associated with our interest rate swaps. These
were partially offset by a loss of $0.8 million on our puts
acquired in 2005 related to the acquisition of the south
Louisiana assets and losses of $0.7 million associated with
our processing margin hedges (including $0.2 million of
realized losses) and ineffectiveness. The loss in 2006 includes
a loss of $3.8 million on our puts and a loss of
$0.5 million associated with our basis swaps offset in part
by gains of $2.5 million associated with our third-party
on-system and storage financial transactions (including
$1.3 million realized gains). As of June 30, 2007, the
fair value of the puts was less than $0.1 million.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation
and amortization expenses were $50.5 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to
$35.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006,
an increase of $14.7 million, or 41.2%. Midstream
depreciation and amortization expense increased
$7.8 million due to the NTG assets and $3.8 million
due to the NTPL, which was placed in service in April 2006. The
north Louisiana expansion, which was placed in service in April
2007, generated an increase in depreciation between periods of
$1.9 million and the remaining increase relates to other
assets with a combined increase of $1.2 million.
Interest Expense. Interest expense was
$35.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007
compared to $20.4 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2006, an increase of $15.5 million. The
increase relates primarily to an increase in debt outstanding as
rates were equivalent for the comparative periods.
Cumulative Effect of Accounting Change. The
Partnership recorded $0.7 million of income for the
cumulative adjustment to recognize the required change in
reporting stock-based compensation under FASB Statement
No. 123R which was effective January 1, 2006.
Critical
Accounting Policies
Information regarding the Partnerships Critical Accounting
Policies is included in Item 7 of the Partnerships
Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Cash Flows. Net cash provided by operating
activities was $48.6 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to $37.7 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2006. Income before non-cash income
and expenses was $52.5 million in 2007 and
$43.6 million in 2006. Changes in working capital used
$3.9 million in cash flows from operating activities in
2007 as compared to $5.9 million in cash flows used by
working capital changes in 2006.
Net cash used in investing activities was $227.0 million
and $650.4 million for the six months ended June 30,
2007 and 2006, respectively. Net cash invested in Midstream
assets was $208.9 million for the six months ended
31
June 30, 2007 compared to $589.6 million for the same
time period in 2006 including $475.4 million related to the
acquisition of assets from Chief. Net cash invested in Treating
assets for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was
$13.0 million compared to $63.2 million for the same
period in 2006 including $51.5 million related to the
acquisition of Hanover assets.
Net cash provided by financing activities was
$177.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007
compared to $612.3 million provided by financing activities
for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Net cash provided
by financing activities for the six months ended June 30,
2007 included $102.6 million from the issuance of senior
subordinated series D units, including the general partner
contribution and net of issuance costs, and net bank borrowings
of $146.7 million. Net cash provided by financing
activities for the period ended June 30, 2006 included
$368.4 million from the issuance of senior subordinated
series C units, including the general partner contribution,
net borrowings under our credit facility of $238.0 million
and net borrowings under our senior secured notes of
$58.2 million. Distributions to partners totaled
$42.0 million in the first half of 2007 compared to
$36.2 million in the first half of 2006. Drafts payable
decreased by $30.3 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 as compared to a decrease in drafts payable
of $14.1 million for the six months ended June 30,
2006. In order to reduce our interest costs, we do not borrow
money to fund outstanding checks until they are presented to the
bank. Fluctuations in drafts payable are caused by timing of
disbursements, cash receipts and draws on our revolving credit
facility.
Working Capital Deficit. We had a working
capital deficit of $48.9 million as of June 30, 2007,
primarily due to drafts payable of $17.6 million and
accrued liabilities of $59.2 million, including
$25.3 million attributable to accrued property development
costs. As discussed under Cash Flows above, in order
to reduce our interest costs we do not borrow money to fund
outstanding checks until they are presented to our bank. We
borrow money under our $1.0 billion bank credit facility to
fund checks as they are presented. As of June 30, 2007, we
had $234.2 million of available borrowings under this
facility.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We had no
off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2007.
March 2007 Sale of Senior Subordinated Series D
Units. On March 23, 2007, we issued an
aggregate of 3,875,340 senior subordinated series D units
representing limited partner interests in a private offering for
net proceeds of approximately $99.9 million. The senior
subordinated series D units were issued at $25.80 per unit,
which represented a discount of approximately 25% to the market
value of common units on such date. The discount represented an
underwriting discount plus the fact that the units will not
receive a distribution nor be readily transferable for two
years. Crosstex Energy GP, L.P. made a general partner
contribution of $2.7 million in connection with this
issuance to maintain its 2% general partner interest. The senior
subordinated series D units will automatically convert into
common units representing limited partner interests on the first
date on or after March 23, 2009 that conversion is
permitted by our partnership agreement at a ratio of one common
unit for each senior subordinated series D unit, subject to
adjustment depending on the achievement of financial metrics in
the fourth quarter of 2008. The senior subordinated
series D units are not entitled to distributions of
available cash or allocations of net income/loss from us until
March 23, 2009.
Capital Requirements of the Partnership. The
natural gas gathering, transmission, treating and processing
businesses are capital-intensive, requiring significant
investment to maintain and upgrade existing operations. Our
capital requirements have consisted primarily of, and we
anticipate will continue to be:
|
|
|
|
|
maintenance capital expenditures, which are capital expenditures
made to replace partially or fully depreciated assets in order
to maintain existing operating capacity of our assets and to
extend their useful lives, or other capital expenditures which
do not increase our cash flows; and
|
|
|
|
growth capital expenditures such as those to acquire additional
assets to grow our business, to expand and upgrade gathering
systems, transmission capacity, processing plants or treating
plants, and to construct or acquire new pipelines, processing
plants or treating plants, and expenditures made in support of
that growth.
|
Given our objective of growth through acquisitions and large
capital expansions, we anticipate that we will continue to
invest significant amounts of capital to grow and to build and
acquire assets. We actively consider a variety of assets for
potential development and acquisitions.
32
We believe that cash generated from operations will be
sufficient to meet our present quarterly distribution level of
$0.57 per quarter and to fund a portion of our anticipated
capital expenditures through June 30, 2008. Total capital
expenditures for the remainder of 2007 are estimated to be
approximately $145.0 million. We expect to fund the
remaining capital expenditures from the proceeds of borrowings
under the revolving credit facility discussed below. Our ability
to pay distributions to our unit holders and to fund planned
capital expenditures and to make acquisitions will depend upon
our future operating performance, which will be affected by
prevailing economic conditions in our industry and financial,
business and other factors, some of which are beyond our control.
Indebtedness

Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2007, we
had a bank credit facility with a borrowing capacity of
$1.0 billion that matures in June 2011. As of June 30,
2007, $765.8 million was outstanding under the bank credit
facility, including $125.8 million of letters of credit,
leaving approximately $234.2 million available for future
borrowing.
In April 2007, we amended our bank credit facility to increase
the maximum permitted leverage ratio for the fiscal quarter
ending September 30, 2007 and each fiscal quarter
thereafter. The maximum leverage ratio (total funded debt to
consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization) is as follows (provided, however, that during an
acquisition period, the maximum leverage ratio shall be
increased by 0.50 to 1.00 from the otherwise applicable ratio
set forth below):
|
|
|
|
|
5.25 to 1.00 for fiscal quarters through December 31, 2007;
|
|
|
|
5.00 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2008
through September 2008;
|
|
|

and March 31, 2009; and
|
|
|
|
4.50 to 1.00 for any fiscal quarter ending thereafter.
|
Additionally, the credit facility provides that (i) if we
or our subsidiaries incur unsecured note indebtedness, the
leverage ratio will shift to a two-tiered structure and
(ii) during periods where we have outstanding unsecured
note indebtedness, our leverage ratio cannot exceed 5.50 to 1.00
and our senior leverage ratio cannot exceed 4.50 to 1.00. The
other material terms and conditions of the credit facility
remain unchanged.
Senior Secured Notes. In April 2007, we
amended our senior note agreement, effective as of
March 30, 2007, to (i) provide that if our leverage
ratio at the end of any fiscal quarter exceeds certain
limitations, we will pay the holders of the note an excess
leverage fee based on the daily average outstanding principal
balance of the notes during such fiscal quarter multiplied by
certain percentages set forth in the senior note agreement;
(ii) increase the rate of interest on each note by 0.25%
if, at any given time during an acquisition period (as defined
in the senior note agreement), the leverage ratio exceeds 5.25
to 1.00; (iii) cause the leverage ratio to shift to a
two-tiered structure if we or our subsidiaries incur unsecured
note indebtedness; and (iv) limit our leverage ratio to
5.25 to 1.00 and our
33
senior leverage ratio to 4.25 to 1.00 during periods where we
have outstanding unsecured note indebtedness. The other material
items and conditions of the senior note agreement remained
unchanged.
We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of
June 30, 2007 and expect to be in compliance with debt
covenants for the next twelve months.

Recently
issued Accounting Standards
|
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48
(FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes. FIN 48 is an interpretation of
FASB Statement No. 109, Accounting for Income
Taxes. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model
for recognizing, measuring, presenting and disclosing in the
financial statements uncertain tax positions taken or expected
to be taken. The Partnership adopted FIN 48 effective
January 1, 2007. There was no impact to the
Partnerships financial statements as a result of
FIN 48.
On September 13, 2006, the Securities Exchange Commission
(SEC) issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108
(SAB 108), which establishes an approach that requires
quantification of financial statement errors based on the
effects of the error on each of the companys financial
statements and the related disclosures. SAB 108 requires
the use of a balance sheet and an income statement approach to
evaluate whether either of these approaches results in
quantifying a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative
and qualitative factors are considered, is material. The
Partnership adopted SAB 108 effective October 1, 2006
with no material impact on its financial statements.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair
value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and
requires enhanced disclosures regarding fair value measurements.
While SFAS 157 does not add any new fair value
measurements, it is intended to increase consistency and
comparability of such measurement. The provisions of
SFAS 157 will be effective for financial statements issued
for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and
interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of this
standard will not have a material impact on our results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, Fair
Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities Including an amendment to FASB Statement
No. 115 (SFAS 159) permits entities to choose to
measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair
value. Changes in the fair value on items for which the fair
value option has been elected are recognized in earnings each
reporting period. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation
and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparisons between
the different measurement attributes elected for similar types
of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal
years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently
evaluating the impact, if any, that the adoption of
SFAS 159 will have on our financial statements.

Disclosure
Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q
includes forward-looking statements within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934, as amended that are based on information currently
available to management as well as managements assumptions
and beliefs. Statements included in this report which are not
historical facts are forward-looking statements. These
statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking
terminology including forecast, may,
believe, will, expect,
anticipate, estimate,
continue or other similar words. These statements
discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of
operations or of financial condition or state other
forward-looking information. Such statements reflect
our current views with respect to future events based on what we
believe are reasonable assumptions; however, such statements are
subject to certain risks and uncertainties. In addition to
specific uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this
Form 10-Q,
the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A.
Risk Factors in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006, and those set forth
in Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors of this
report may affect our performance and results of operations.
Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize,
or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results
may differ materially from those in the forward-looking
statements. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or
review any forward-looking statements or information, whether as
a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3.
|
Quantitative
and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
|
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in
market rates and prices. Our primary market risk is the risk
related to changes in the prices of natural gas and NGLs. In
addition, we are also exposed to the risk of changes in interest
rates on our floating rate debt.
Interest
Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk on short-term and long-term
debt carrying variable interest rates. At June 30, 2007,
our variable rate debt had a carrying value of
$640.0 million which approximated its fair value, and our
fixed rate debt had a carrying value of $493.8 million with
an approximate fair value of $499.0 million. We attempt to
balance variable rate debt, fixed rate debt and debt maturities
to manage interest cost, interest rate volatility and financing
risk. This is accomplished through a mix of bank debt with
short-term variable rates and fixed rate senior and subordinated
debt. In addition, we have entered into two separate interest
rate swaps covering principal amounts of $50.0 million each
under the credit facility for periods of three years each. The
interest rate swaps reduce our risk by fixing the three month
LIBOR rate over the term of the swap agreement.
In November 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap that
fixed the three month LIBOR rate, prior to credit margin, at
4.95% on $50.0 million of related debt outstanding over the
term of the swap agreement which expires on November 30,
2009. The fair value of the interest rate swap at June 30,
2007 was a $0.4 million asset.
In March 2007, we entered into an interest rate swap that fixed
the three month LIBOR rate, prior to credit margin, at 4.875% on
$50.0 million of related debt outstanding over the term of
the swap agreement which expires on March 31, 2010. The
fair value of the interest rate swap at June 30, 2007 was a
$0.5 million asset.
The following table shows the carrying amount and fair value of
long-term debt and the hypothetical change in fair value that
would result from a 100-basis point change in interest rates.
Unless otherwise noted, the hypothetical change in fair value
could be a gain or a loss depending on whether interest rates
increase or decrease.

Commodity
Price Risk
Approximately 4.5% of the natural gas we market is purchased at
a percentage of the relevant natural gas index price, as opposed
to a fixed discount to that price. As a result of purchasing the
natural gas at a percentage of the index price, our resale
margins are higher during periods of high natural gas prices and
lower during periods of lower natural gas prices. As of
June 30, 2007, we have hedged approximately 80% of our
exposure to natural gas price fluctuations through December
2008. We also have hedges in place covering 80% of the liquid
volumes we expect to receive at our south Louisiana assets
through the first quarter of 2008; and 74% of the liquids at our
other assets through the end of 2007 and 80% for the first
quarter of 2008.
Another price risk we face is the risk of mismatching volumes of
gas bought or sold on a monthly price versus volumes bought or
sold on a daily price. We enter each month with a balanced book
of gas bought and sold on the same basis. However, it is normal
to experience fluctuations in the volumes of gas bought or sold
under either basis, which leaves us with short or long positions
that must be covered. We use financial swaps to mitigate the
exposure at the time it is created to maintain a balanced
position.
We have commodity price risk associated with our processed
volumes of natural gas. We currently process gas under four main
types of contractual arrangements:
1. Keep-whole contracts: Under this type
of contract, we pay the producer for the full amount of inlet
gas to the plant, and we make a margin based on the difference
between the value of liquids recovered from the processed
natural gas as compared to the value of the natural gas volumes
lost (shrink) in processing. Our margins from these
contracts are high during periods of high liquids prices
relative to natural gas prices, and can be negative during
periods of high natural gas prices relative to liquids prices.
We control our risk on our current keep-whole contracts
primarily through our ability to bypass processing when it is
not profitable for us.
2. Percent of proceeds contracts: Under
these contracts, we receive a fee in the form of a percentage of
the liquids recovered, and the producer bears all the cost of
the natural gas shrink. Therefore, our margins from these
contracts are greater during periods of high liquids prices. Our
margins from processing cannot become negative under percent of
proceeds contracts, but do decline during periods of low NGL
prices.
3. Theoretical processing
contracts: Under these contracts, we stipulate
with the producer the assumptions under which we will assume
processing economics for settlement purposes, independent of
actual processing results or whether the stream was actually
processed. These contracts tend to have an inverse result to the
keep-whole contracts, with better margins as processing
economics worsen.
4. Fee based contracts: Under these
contracts we have no commodity price exposure and are paid a
fixed fee per unit of volume that is treated or conditioned.
Our primary commodity risk management objective is to reduce
volatility in our cash flows. We maintain a Risk Management
Committee, including members of senior management, which
oversees all hedging activity. We enter into hedges for natural
gas and NGLS using NYMEX futures or over-the-counter derivative
financial instruments with only certain well-capitalized
counterparties which have been approved by our Risk Management
Committee.
The use of financial instruments may expose us to the risk of
financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances
when (1) sales volumes are less than expected requiring
market purchases to meet commitments or (2) our
counterparties fail to purchase the contracted quantities of
natural gas or otherwise fail to perform. To the extent that we
engage in hedging activities we may be prevented from realizing
the benefits of favorable price changes in the physical market.
However, we are similarly insulated against unfavorable changes
in such prices.
We manage our price risk related to future physical purchase or
sale commitments for our producer services activities by
entering into either corresponding physical delivery contracts
or financial instruments with an objective to balance our future
commitments and significantly reduce our risk to the movement in
natural gas prices. However, we are subject to counterparty risk
for both the physical and financial contracts. We account for
certain of our commercial services natural gas marketing
activities as energy trading contracts or derivatives. These
energy-trading contracts are recorded at fair value with changes
in fair value reported in earnings. Accordingly, any gain or
loss associated with changes in the fair value of derivatives
and physical delivery contracts relating to our
36
commercial services natural gas marketing activities are
recognized in earnings as profit or loss on energy trading
contracts immediately.
For each reporting period, we record the fair value of open
energy trading contracts based on the difference between the
quoted market price and the contract price. Accordingly, the
change in fair value from the previous period is reported as
profit or loss on energy trading contracts in the statement of
operations. In addition, realized gains and losses from settled
contracts accounted for as cash flow hedges are recorded in
Midstream revenue. As of June 30, 2007, outstanding natural
gas swap agreements, NGL swap agreements, swing swap agreements,
storage swap agreements and other derivative instruments had a
net fair asset value of $3.1 million, excluding the fair
value asset of less than $0.1 million associated with the
NGL puts. The aggregate effect of a hypothetical 10% increase in
gas and NGL prices would result in a decrease of approximately
$6.4 million in the net fair value to a net liability of
these contracts as of June 30, 2007 of $3.3 million.
The value of the NGL puts would also decrease as a result of an
increase in NGL prices, but we are unable to determine the
impact of a 10% price change. Our maximum loss on these puts is
the remaining fair value of the puts of less than
$0.1 million.
