ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On April 1, 2004, the Registrant announced that, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Crosstex Louisiana Energy, L.P., the Registrant has completed the previously-announced acquisition of 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 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 29 parishes extending from northwest and north-central Louisiana through the center of the state to south and southeast Louisiana. Current on-system market of approximately 580,000 MMbtu/d includes power plants, municipal gas systems, and industrial markets located principally in the industrial corridor between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Processing plants owned by LIG give the system the capability to handle rich and lean gas supplies connected to the system. The LIG system is connected to several interconnected pipelines and the Jefferson Island Storage facility providing access to additional system supply. Prior to the acquisition the LIG assets were used for natural gas gathering, transmission and processing; the Registrant intents to continue to use the LIG assets in these capacities. The Registrant financed the acquisition through borrowings under its existing bank credit facility.
