FORM 10-Q/A
INTRODUCTORY NOTE
This Amendment No. 1 to quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A ("Form 10-Q/A") is being filed to amend our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2004, which was originally filed on May 7, 2004 ("Original Form 10-Q"). Accordingly, pursuant to rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, this Form 10-Q/A contains the complete text of items 1 and 4 of Part I and item 6 of Part II, as amended, as well as certain currently dated certifications. Unaffected items have not been repeated in this Amendment No. 1.
In July 2004, we determined that, due to clerical errors, certain reconciling items between the detail accounts receivable and accounts payable subledgers and the general ledger relating to 2002 had not been properly cleared. As a result of correcting these errors, we have restated our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004 and our consolidated statements of changes in partners' equity as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. We have also restated our notes to consolidated financial statements as necessary to reflect the adjustments. The net effect of the adjustments resulted in a reduction in partners' equity and working capital as of December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004 by $1.7 million. Please read note 2 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the adjustments.
This amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the Original Form 10-Q, and does not modify or update the disclosures therein in any way other than as required to reflect the adjustments described above. Such events include, among others, the events described in our current reports on Form 8-K filed after the filing of the Original Form 10-Q.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2004
(Unaudited)
(1) General
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. (the Partnership), a Delaware limited partnership formed on July 12, 2002, is engaged in the gathering, transmission, treating, processing and marketing of natural gas. The Partnership connects the wells of natural gas producers to its gathering systems 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 natural gas liquids or NGLs, transports natural gas and ultimately provides an aggregated supply of natural gas to a variety of markets. In addition, the Partnership purchases natural gas from producers not connected to its gathering systems for resale and sells natural gas on behalf of producers for a fee.
The accompanying 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. 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 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, 2003.
(a) Long-Term Incentive Plans
The Partnership applies the provisions of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB No. 25), and the related interpretations in accounting for the long-term incentive plans. In accordance with APB No. 25 for fixed stock and unit options, compensation is recorded to the extent the fair value of the stock or unit exceeds the exercise price of the option at the measurement date. Compensation costs for fixed awards with pro rata vesting are recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. In addition, compensation expense is recorded for variable options based on the difference between fair value of the stock or unit and exercise price of the options at period end. Compensation expense of $209,000 and $2,504,000 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
8
Had compensation cost for the Partnership been determined based on the fair value at the grant date for awards in accordance with SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock Based Compensation, the Partnership's net income would have been as follows (in thousands, except per unit amounts):

Basic | $ | 0.25 | $ | 0.05 | ||||
Diluted | $ | 0.24 | $ | 0.05 |
The fair value of each option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used for Partnership unit grants in 2004:
|
2004 |
|||
---|---|---|---|---|
Options granted | 346,779 | |||
Weighted average dividend yield | 6.5 | % | ||
Weighted average expected volatility | 24 | % | ||
Weighted average risk free interest rate | 3.14 | % | ||
Weighted average expected life | 5 | |||
Contractual life | 10 | |||
Weighted average of fair value of unit options granted | $ | 3.09 |
No Crosstex Energy, Inc. (CEI) options were granted to officers or employees in 2004. Stock based compensation associated with the CEI option plan with respect to officers and employees is recorded by the Partnership since CEI has no operating activities, other than its interest in the Partnership.
CEI modified certain outstanding options attributable to its shares of common stock in the first quarter of 2003, which allowed the option holders to elect to be paid in cash for the modified options based on the fair value of the options. The total number of CEI options which were modified was approximately 364,000. These modified options have been accounted for using variable accounting as of the option modification date. The Partnership accounted for the modified options as variable options until the holders elect to cash out the options or the election to cash out the options lapsed. CEI is
9
responsible for paying the intrinsic value of the options for the holders who elect to cash out their options. December 31, 2003 was the last valuation date that a holder of modified options could elect the cash-out alternative. Accordingly, effective January 1, 2004, the remaining modified options are accounted for as fixed options. Beginning in the first quarter of 2003, the Partnership recognized stock compensation expense based on the estimated fair value at period end of the options modified. The Partnership recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $2.5 million related to the variable options for the quarter ended March 31, 2003.
In February 2004, 75,000 restricted shares in CEI were issued to senior management under its long-term incentive plan with an intrinsic value of $2,183,000. In February 2004, 1,406 restricted units with an intrinsic value of $29,000 were issued to a director, at his election, for his 2004 annual director fee. These restricted units vest over a five-year period and the intrinsic value of the units is amortized into stock based compensation expense over the vesting period.
(b) Earnings per Unit and Anti-Dilutive Computations
Basic earnings per unit was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of limited partner units outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003. The computation of diluted earnings per unit further assumes the dilutive effect of unit options.
Effective March 29, 2004, the Partnership completed a two-for-one split on its outstanding limited partnership units. All unit amounts for prior periods presented herein have been restated to reflect this unit split.
The following are the unit amounts used to compute the basic and diluted earnings per limited partner unit for the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands):

All outstanding units were included in the computation of diluted earnings per unit.
(c) New Accounting Pronouncement
In January 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51. In December 2003, the FASB issued FIN No. 46R which clarified certain issues identified in FIN 46. FIN No. 46R requires an entity to consolidate a variable interest entity if it is designated as the primary beneficiary of that entity even if the entity does not have a majority of voting interests. A variable interest entity is generally defined as an entity where its equity is unable to finance its activities or where the owners of the entity lack the risk and rewards of
10
ownership. The provisions of this statement apply at inception for any entity created after January 31, 2003. For an entity created before February 1, 2003, the provisions of this Interpretation must be applied at the beginning of the first interim or annual period ending after March 15, 2004. In January 2004, the Partnership adopted FIN No. 46R and began consolidating its joint venture interest in the Crosstex DC Gathering, J.V. (CDC), previously accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The consolidated carrying amount for the joint venture is based on the historical costs of the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests of the joint venture since its formation in January 2003 which approximates the carrying amount of the assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests in the consolidated financial statements as if FIN No. 46R had been effective upon inception of the joint venture.
(2) Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
In July 2004, we determined that certain clerical errors had occurred in 2002 accounting that resulted in certain reconciling items not being properly cleared from accounts payable, accounts receivable and accrued gas purchases resulting in a decrease in income of $1.7 million. As a result of correcting these errors, we have restated our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 and our consolidated statements of changes in partners' equity as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003.

The effects of the revisions on our consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003 are summarized in the following table (dollars in thousands):

The effects of the revisions on our consolidated statement of changes in partners' equity are a decrease to net income of $1.7 million and a corresponding decrease in transfer of equity in accordance with initial public offering of $0.6 million for common unit-holders, $1.0 million for subordinated unit-holders, and $33,000 for general partner interest.
There was no impact on cash flows due to the restatement.
The segment information in note 10 has been restated to reflect the impact of the correction of the clerical errors.
(3) Significant Asset Purchases and Acquisitions
On June 30, 2003, the Partnership completed the acquisition of certain assets from Duke Energy Field Services, L.P. (DEFS) for $68.1 million, including the effect of certain purchase price adjustments. The assets acquired included: the Mississippi pipeline system, a 12.4% interest in the Seminole gas processing plant, the Conroe gas plant and gathering system and the Alabama pipeline system. The Partnership has accounted for this acquisition as a business combination in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations. We have utilized the purchase method of accounting for this acquisition with an acquisition date of June 30, 2003.

Operating results for the DEFS assets are included in the Statements of Operations since June 30, 2003. Unaudited pro forma results of operations as if the acquisition from DEFS had been acquired on January 1, 2003 are as follows (in thousands, except per unit amounts):

(4) Investment in Limited Partnerships and Note Receivable
The Partnership owns a 7.86% weighted average interest as the general partner in the five gathering systems of Crosstex Pipeline Partners, L.P. (CPP), a 20.31% interest as a limited partner in CPP, 50% interest in the J.O.B. J.V. and a 50% interest in CDC. In January 2004, the Partnership began consolidating its investment in CDC. The Partnership accounts for its investments in J.O.B. J.V. and CPP under the equity method, as it exercises significant influence in operating decisions as a general partner in CPP and as a 50% owner in the joint venture. Under this method, the Partnership carries its investments at cost and records its equity in net earnings of the affiliated partnerships as income in other income (expense) in the consolidated statement of operations, and distributions received from them are recorded as a reduction in the Partnership's investment in the affiliated partnership.
In connection with the formation of CDC, the Partnership agreed to loan the CDC Partner up to $1.5 million for their initial capital contribution. The loan bears interest at an annual rate of prime plus 2%. CDC makes payments directly to the Partnership attributable to CDC Partner's 50% share of distributable cash flow to repay the loan. Any balance remaining on the note is due in August 2007. The current portion of loan receivable of $747,000 from the CDC Partner is included in current notes receivable as of March 31, 2004. The remaining balance of $838,000 is included in other non-current assets as of March 31, 2004.

(5) Long-Term Debt

Less current portion | (50 | ) | (50 | ) | ||||
Debt classified as long-term | $ | 62,700 | $ | 60,700 | ||||
In conjunction with the April 2004 acquisition of the LIG Pipeline Company and its subsidiaries discussed in Note (9), the Partnership amended its bank credit facility to increase the borrowing base under its senior secured revolving acquisition facility from $70 million to $100 million and to increase the borrowing base under its senior secured revolving credit working capital and letter of credit facility from $50 million to $100 million.
In October 2002, the Partnership entered into an interest rate swap covering a principal amount of $20 million for a period of two years. The Partnership is subject to interest rate risk on its acquisition credit facility. The interest rate swap reduces this risk by fixing the LIBOR rate, prior to credit margin, at 2.29%, on $20 million of related debt outstanding over the term of the swap agreement which expires on November 1, 2004. The Partnership has accounted for this swap as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest payments related to the $20 million of the acquisition credit facility outstanding. Accordingly, unrealized gains or losses relating to the swap which are recorded in other comprehensive income will be reclassified from other comprehensive income to interest expense over the period hedged. The fair value of the interest rate swap at March 31, 2004 was a $181,000 liability and is included in fair value of derivative liabilities.
(6) Partners' Capital
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 and 2% to the general partner, subject to the payment of incentive distributions as described below 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
14
amounts we distribute in excess of $0.375 per unit. Incentive distributions totaling $953,000 were earned by our general partner for the three months ended March 31, 2004. 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's fourth quarter distribution on its common and subordinated units of $0.375 per unit was paid on February 13, 2004. The Partnership declared a first quarter 2004 distribution of $0.40 per unit to be paid on May 14, 2004.
(7) Derivatives
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 fair value of derivative assets and liabilities, excluding the interest rate swap, are as follows (in thousands):

(8) Transactions with Related Parties
General and Administrative Expense Cap
The Partnership had a $6.0 million annual ($1.5 million quarterly) general and administrative cap for the twelve-month period ended in December 2003, per its partnership agreement. CEI bore the cost of any excess general and administrative expenses. During the three months ended March 31, 2003, the Partnership had excess expenses of approximately $0.5 million. The general partner is also reimbursed for direct charges it incurs on behalf of partnership business development activities. There were no direct charges for the three months ended March 31, 2003.
Camden Resources, Inc.
The Partnership treats gas for, and purchases gas from, Camden Resources, Inc. (Camden). Camden is an affiliate of the Partnership by way of equity investments made by Yorktown Energy Partners IV, L.P. and Yorktown Energy Partners V, L.P., collectively the major shareholder in CEI, in Camden. During the three months ended March 31, 2004 and 2003, the Partnership purchased natural gas from Camden in the amount of approximately $8.2 million and $2.7 million, respectively, and received approximately $18,000 and $61,000 in treating fees from Camden.
Crosstex Pipeline Partners, L.P.
The Partnership had related-party transactions with Crosstex Pipeline Partners, L.P. (CPP), as summarized below:
17
(9) 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 person's employment.
(b) Environmental Issues
The Partnership acquired two assets from DEFS in June 2003 that have environmental contamination, including a gas plant in Montgomery County near Conroe, Texas and a compressor station near Cadeville, Louisiana. At both of these sites, contamination from historical operations has been identified at levels that exceed the applicable state action levels. Consequently, site investigation and/or remediation are underway to address those impacts. The estimated remediation cost for the Conroe plant site is currently estimated to be approximately $3.2 million, and the remediation cost for the Cadeville site is currently estimated to be approximately $1.2 million. Under the purchase agreement, DEFS has retained liability for cleanup of both the Conroe and Cadeville sites. Moreover, DEFS has entered into an agreement with a third-party Company pursuant to which the remediation costs associated with the Conroe site have been assumed by this third-party Company that specializes in remediation work. Therefore, the Partnership does not expect to incur any material environmental liability associated with the Conroe or Cadeville sites.
(c) Other
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.
The Partnership receives notices from pipeline companies from time to time of gas volume allocation corrections related to gas deliveries on their pipeline systems. These allocation corrections normally have little impact on the Partnership's gross margin because the Partnership balances its purchases and sales in the pipelines and both the purchase and sale on the pipeline system require corrections. As of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, a subsidiary of the Partnership was involved in a dispute related to one such allocation correction with a pipeline company and a customer on that pipeline. In reallocating previous settled deliveries, the pipeline company billed the Partnership's subsidiary for approximately $1.2 million of gas deliveries that occurred in the period from December, 2000 through February, 2001. The Partnership's subsidiary, in turn, billed its customer who was overpaid due to the allocation error. The customer is disputing its liability for such amount, asserting that the corrected billing was untimely. The allocation error occurred prior to the Partnership's acquisition of the subsidiary involved in the dispute. The Partnership has an indemnity from the seller of the subsidiary for liabilities arising prior to the acquisition date. As of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003, the Partnership has recorded a receivable of $1.2 million in other current receivables and a liability of $1.2 million in other current liabilities related to this allocation correction.
18
The Partnership believes the customer's dispute of the receivable is without merit, and further believes that it is protected against loss by its right to indemnification.
(10) Segment Information
Identification of operating segments is based principally upon differences in the types and distribution channel of products. The Partnership's reportable segments consist of Midstream and Treating. The Midstream division consists of the Partnership's natural gas gathering and transmission operations and includes the Mississippi System, the Conroe System, the Gulf Coast System, the Corpus Christi System, the Gregory Gathering System located around the Corpus Christi area, the Arkoma system in Oklahoma, the Vanderbilt System located in south Texas, and various other small systems. Also included in the Midstream division are the Partnership's Producer Services operations. The operations in the Midstream segment are similar in the nature of the products and services, 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. Included in the Treating division are four gathering systems that are connected to the treating plants and the Seminole plant located in Gaines County, Texas.
The Partnership evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on earnings before income taxes and accounting changes, and after an allocation of corporate expenses. Corporate expenses are allocated to the segments on a pro rata basis based on assets. Inter-segment sales are at cost.

(10) Subsequent Event (Unaudited)
On April 1, 2004, the Partnership acquired, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Crosstex Louisiana Energy, L.P., the LIG Pipeline Company and its subsidiaries (LIG Inc., Louisiana Intrastate Gas Company, L.L.C., LIG Chemical Company, LIG Liquids Company, L.L.C. and Tuscaloosa Pipeline Company) (collectively, "LIG") from a subsidiary of American Electric Power in a negotiated transaction for $76.2 million. LIG consists of approximately 2,000 miles of gas gathering and transmission systems located in 32 parishes extending from northwest and north-central Louisiana through the center of the state to south and southeast Louisiana. The Partnership financed the acquisition through borrowings under its amended bank credit facility.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Crosstex Energy GP, LLC, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, to the extent and in the case described in the following paragraph, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of March 31, 2004 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms.
In July 2004, we determined during the course of internal reviews that, due to clerical errors, certain reconciling items between the detail accounts receivable and accounts payable subledgers and the general ledger relating to 2002 had not been properly cleared. We identified these errors and promptly brought them to the attention of our audit committee and auditors. As a result of correcting these errors, in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q/A, we have restated our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2003 and March 31, 2004 and our consolidated statements of changes in partners' equity as of March 31, 2004 and December 31, 2003. We have also restated our notes to consolidated financial statements as necessary to reflect the adjustments. These errors resulted from a deficiency in the procedures to reconcile the detail accounts receivable and accounts payable subledgers to the general ledger. Our independent auditors, KPMG LLP, have reviewed these matters and advised our Audit Committee that the deficiency constituted a material weakness as defined in Statements of Auditing Standards No. 60. In light of the discovery of these errors, we have implemented new procedures for reconciling subledgers to the general ledger and disposition and resolution of reconciling items on a timely basis. Management believes that controls are now in place to ensure that similar errors do not occur again.
There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2004 that have materially affected, or are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
