CROSSTEX ENERGY, L.P.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NOTES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012 AND THE NINE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 2013

Introduction

        In October 2013, Crosstex Energy, L.P. (the "Partnership") entered into an agreement with Devon Energy Corporation ("Devon") pursuant to which Devon would contribute to the Partnership 50% of the outstanding equity in Devon Midstream Holdings, L.P. ("Midstream Holdings") in exchange for the issuance by the Partnership of 120,542,441 units representing a new class of limited partnership interests in the Partnership (collectively, the "business combination"). At the effective time of the business combination, Midstream Holdings will own Devon's midstream assets in the Barnett Shale in North Texas and the Cana and Arkoma Woodford Shales in Oklahoma, as well as Devon's interest in Gulf Coast Fractionators in Mt. Belvieu, Texas.

        In connection with the agreement, Crosstex Energy, Inc. ("Crosstex") also entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Devon and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Following the consummation of the business combination, New Public Rangers, L.L.C. ("New Public Rangers"), a newly formed holding company will own the remaining 50% limited partner interest in Midsteam Holdings. Devon will own the managing member of New Public Rangers, and New Public Rangers will indirectly own 100% of Crosstex Energy GP, LLC, the general partner of the Partnership (the "General Partner").

        Unless the context requires otherwise, for purposes of this pro forma presentation, all references to "we," "our," or "us" refer to the Partnership and its directly owned and indirectly owned subsidiaries following the business combination, including Midstream Holdings.

        The unaudited pro forma financial statements of the Partnership are based on the historical financial statements of Devon Midstream Holdings, L.P. Predecessor (the "Predecessor"), which comprises all of Devon's U.S. midstream assets and operations, including minor assets that are not included in the business combination. Under the acquisition method of accounting, Midstream Holdings will be the acquirer in the transactions because its parent company, Devon, will obtain control through the indirect control of the General Partner after the business combination. Consequently, Midstream Holdings' assets and liabilities will retain their carrying values. Additionally, the Partnership's assets acquired and liabilities assumed by Midstream Holdings as the Predecessor in the business combination will be recorded at their fair values measured as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the Partnership's net assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill.

        The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2013 assumes the business combination and related transactions occurred on September 30, 2013. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 assume the business combination and related transactions occurred on January 1, 2012. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements do not present the Partnership's actual results of operations had the business combination and related transactions been completed at the dates indicated. In addition, they do not project the Partnership's results of operations for any future period. The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements reflect the following significant assumptions and transactions:


        The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These accounting principles are consistent with those used in, and should be read together with, the Predecessor's historical combined financial statements and related notes, which are included elsewhere in this filing.

        The adjustments reflected in the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are based on currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions. Therefore, actual results may differ from the pro forma adjustments. However, management believes that the estimates and assumptions used provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the business combination and the related transactions. Management also believes the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to the estimates and assumptions and are applied in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

        The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements give effect to the business combination and related transactions under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, Midstream Holdings will be the acquirer in the transactions because its parent company, Devon, will obtain control of the Partnership through the indirect control of the General Partner after the business combination. Consequently, Midstream Holdings' assets and liabilities will retain their carrying values. Additionally, the Partnership's assets acquired and liabilities assumed by Midstream Holdings as the Predecessor in the business combination will be recorded at their fair values measured as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair values of the Partnership's net assets acquired will be recorded as goodwill. The pro forma adjustments have been prepared as if the business combination and related transactions had taken place on September 30, 2013 in the case of the pro forma balance sheet and on January 1, 2012 in the case of the pro forma statements of operations. These transactions and adjustments are described in Note 3 to these unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements.

        The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with (i) the Predecessor's historical consolidated financial statements and related notes, as well as Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Exhibit 99.3, (ii) the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 and (iii) the Partnership's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2013.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

        The accounting policies used in preparing the unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are those used by the Predecessor as set forth in its audited historical combined financial statements contained in Exhibit 99.4.

3. Pro Forma Adjustments and Assumptions

        The accompanying unaudited pro forma financial statements give pro forma effect to the following:

The final purchase price will be based on the fair value of the Partnership's common units as of the closing date. The estimated fair value of the Partnership's common units is based on a price that approximates the trading price as of November 14, 2013, which may vary materially from the current estimate. A 10% or 20% change in the trading price of the Partnership's common shares would change the total purchase price by approximately $278.7 million or $557.4 million, respectively. The purchase price change would increase or decrease the amount of goodwill recognized from the business combination by the same amount.
