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, processing, transmission and marketing to producers of natural gas, natural gas liquids ("NGLs") and crude oil.  We also provide crude oil, condensate and brine services to producers. We connect the wells of natural gas producers in our market areas to our gathering systems, process natural gas for the removal of NGLs, fractionate NGLs into purity products and market those products for a fee, transport natural gas and ultimately provide natural gas to a variety of markets. We purchase natural gas from natural gas producers and other supply sources and sell that natural gas to utilities, industrial consumers, other marketers and pipelines. We operate processing plants that process gas transported to the plants by major interstate pipelines or from our own gathering systems under a variety of fee arrangements. In addition, we purchase natural gas from producers not connected to our gathering systems for resale and sell natural gas on behalf of producers for a fee.  We provide a variety of crude services throughout the Ohio River Valley ("ORV") which include crude oil gathering via pipelines and trucks and oilfield brine disposal. We also have crude oil terminal facilities in south Louisiana that provide access for crude oil producers to the premium markets in this area.
 
Crosstex Energy GP, LLC (the “General Partner”) is the general partner of the Partnership. Crosstex Energy GP, LLC is a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of Crosstex Energy, Inc. ("CEI").
 
(a) Basis of Presentation
 
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 in the United States of America ("US GAAP") 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. Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements for the prior year to conform to the current presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP 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) Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income Reclassifications. In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2013-2, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2013-2”). ASU 2013-2 requires disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts not reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts.  For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we reclassified cash flow hedge (gains)/losses in the amounts of $(0.2) million and $0.1 million, respectively, and $(0.5) million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, included in other comprehensive income to revenues on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Credit Facility.  As of June 30, 2013, there was $63.2 million in outstanding letters of credit and no outstanding borrowings under the Partnership’s bank credit facility, leaving approximately $571.8 million available for future borrowing based on the borrowing capacity of $635.0 million. As of June 30, 2013, based on our maximum permitted consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the amended credit facility), we could borrow approximately $363.5 million of additional funds.
 
In January 2013, the Partnership amended the credit facility to, among other things, (i) decrease the minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the amended credit agreement, being generally computed as the ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash charges to consolidated interest charges) to 2.25 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2013, with a minimum ratio of 2.50 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter, (ii) increase the maximum permitted consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the amended credit agreement, being generally computed as the ratio of total funded debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash charges) to 5.50 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending on or prior to December 31, 2013, with a maximum ratio of 5.25 to 1.0 for each fiscal quarter ending thereafter, and (iii) eliminate the existing and any future step-up in the maximum permitted consolidated leverage ratio for acquisitions.
 
The credit facility is guaranteed by substantially all of our subsidiaries and is secured by first priority liens on substantially all of our assets and those of the guarantors, including all material pipeline, gas gathering and processing assets, all material working capital assets and a pledge of all of our equity interests in substantially all of our subsidiaries. We may prepay all loans under the credit facility at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary LIBOR breakage costs), subject to certain notice requirements. The credit facility requires mandatory prepayments of amounts outstanding thereunder with the net proceeds of certain asset sales, extraordinary receipts, equity issuances and debt incurrences, but these mandatory prepayments do not require any reduction of the lenders’ commitments under the credit facility.
 
All other material terms of the credit facility are described in Part II, “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Indebtedness” in the Partnership’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The Partnership expects to be in compliance with all credit facility covenants for at least the next twelve months.
 
Non-Guarantors.  All senior unsecured notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by each of the Partnership’s current material subsidiaries (the "Guarantors"), with the exception of its regulated Louisiana subsidiaries (which may only guarantee up to $500.0 million of the Partnership’s debt) and Crosstex Energy Finance Corporation (a wholly owned Delaware corporation that was organized for the sole purpose of being a co-issuer of certain of the Partnership’s indebtedness, including the senior unsecured notes). Guarantors may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of their properties or assets, or consolidate with or merge into another company if such a sale would cause a default under the terms of the senior unsecured notes. There are no significant restrictions on the ability of the Partnership or any Subsidiary Guarantor to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. Since certain wholly owned subsidiaries do not guarantee the senior unsecured notes, the condensed consolidating financial statements of the Guarantors and non-guarantors for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are disclosed below in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. Comprehensive income (loss) is not included in the condensed consolidating statements of operations of the Guarantors and non-guarantors for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 as these amounts are not considered material.

Partner's Capital
Certain Provisions of the Partnership Agreement
Partners’ Capital
 
(a) Issuance of Common Units

In June 2013, the Partnership issued 8,280,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (including 1,080,000 common units issued pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional common units) at a public offering price of $20.33 per common unit for net proceeds of $162.0 million. The net proceeds from the common unit offering were used for capital expenditures for currently identified projects, including the Cajun-Sibon NGL pipeline expansion, and for general partnership purposes. Pending such use, the Partnership repaid outstanding borrowings under its credit facility. The General Partner did not exercise its option to make a general partner contribution to maintain its then current general partner percentage interest in connection with this offering.

On January 14, 2013, the Partnership issued 8,625,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership at a public offering price of $15.15 per common unit for net proceeds of $125.4 million.  Concurrent with the public offering, the Partnership issued 2,700,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership at an offering price of $14.55 per unit for net proceeds of $39.2 million.  The net proceeds from both common unit offerings were used for capital expenditures, to repay bank borrowings and for general partnership purposes. The General Partner did not exercise its option to make a general partner contribution to maintain its then current general partner percentage interest in connection with these offerings.
 
In May 2013, the Partnership entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement (the “EDA”) with BMO Capital Markets Corp. (“BMOCM”). This EDA replaced the previous equity distribution agreement entered into in March 2013 between BMOCM and the Partnership. Pursuant to the terms of the EDA, the Partnership may from time to time through BMOCM, as its sales agent, sell common units representing limited partner interests having an aggregate offering price of up to $75.0 million. Sales of such common units will be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions through the facilities of the Nasdaq Global Select Market LLC at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed by BMOCM and the Partnership.  Under the terms of the EDA, the Partnership may sell common units from time to time to BMOCM as principal for its own account at a price to be agreed upon at the time of sale. For any such sales, the Partnership will enter into a separate terms agreement with BMOCM.
 
Through June 30, 2013, the Partnership sold an aggregate of 1,947,576 common units under the EDA and prior equity distribution agreement with BMOCM, generating proceeds of approximately $36.4 million (net of approximately $0.6 million of commissions to BMOCM). The Partnership used the net proceeds for general partnership purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures and repayments of indebtedness.

(b)  Distributions
 
Unless restricted by the terms of the Partnership’s credit facility and/or the indentures governing the Partnership’s 8.875% senior notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”) or the Partnership’s 7.125% senior notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes” and, together with the 2018 Notes, “all senior unsecured notes”), 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.
 
The Partnership’s fourth quarter 2012 distributions on its common and preferred units of $0.33 per unit were paid on February 14, 2013 with the preferred units paid-in-kind (“PIK”) through the issuance of 375,382 preferred units. The Partnership's first quarter 2013 distributions on its common and preferred units of $0.33 per unit were paid on May 13, 2013, with the preferred units paid-in-kind through the issuance of 384,731 preferred units. The Partnership declared a second quarter 2013 distribution on its common and preferred units of $0.33 per unit to be paid on August 12, 2013, with the distribution on the preferred units to be paid-in-kind.
 
(c) Earnings per Unit and Dilution Computations
 
The Partnership had common units and preferred units outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.
 
The preferred units are entitled to a quarterly distribution PIK in the form of additional preferred units equal to the greater of $0.2125 per unit or the amount of the quarterly distribution per unit paid to common unitholders, subject to certain adjustments. Income is allocated to the preferred units in an amount equal to the quarterly distribution with respect to the period earned.  The fair value of the PIK preferred unit distributions is based on the market value of common units on the record date of such distributions.
 
As required under FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 260-10-45-61A, unvested share-based payments that entitle employees to receive non-forfeitable distributions are considered participating securities, as defined in FASB ASC 260-10-20, for earnings per unit calculations.  The following table reflects the computation of basic earnings per limited partner unit for the periods presented (in thousands except per unit amounts):

All common unit equivalents were antidilutive in the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 because the limited partners were allocated net losses in these periods.
 
The General Partner is entitled to a distribution in relation to its percentage interest with respect to all distributions made to common unitholders. If the distributions are in excess of $0.2125 per unit, distributions are made to the General Partner in accordance with its current percentage interest with the remainder to the common and preferred unitholders, subject to the payment of incentive distributions as described below to the extent that certain target levels of cash distributions are achieved.
 
When quarterly distributions are made pro-rata to common and preferred unitholders, net income for the General Partner consists of incentive distributions to the extent earned, a deduction for stock-based compensation attributable to CEI’s stock options and restricted shares and the percentage interest of the original Partnership’s net income (loss) adjusted for the CEI stock-based compensation specifically allocated to the General Partner. When quarterly distributions are made solely to the preferred unitholders, the net income for the General Partner consists of the CEI stock-based compensation deduction and the General Partner’s percentage interest of the Partnership’s net income (loss) after the allocation of income to the preferred unitholders with respect to their preferred distribution adjusted for the CEI stock-based compensation specifically allocated to the General Partner.
 
Under the quarterly incentive distribution provisions, generally the General Partner is entitled to 13.0% of amounts the Partnership distributes in excess of $0.25 per unit, 23.0% of the amounts the Partnership distributes in excess of $0.3125 per unit and 48.0% of amounts the Partnership distributes in excess of $0.375 per unit.

Employee Incentive Plans

Employee Incentive Plans
 
(a)         Long-Term Incentive Plans
 
The Partnership accounts for share-based compensation in accordance with FASB ASC 718, which requires that compensation related to all stock-based awards, including stock options, be recognized in the consolidated financial statements. On May 9, 2013, the Partnership’s unitholders approved the amended and restated Crosstex Energy GP, LLC Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). Amendments to the Plan include an increase in the number of common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership authorized for issuance under the Plan by 3,470,000 common units to an aggregate of 9,070,000 common units. In addition, the Plan includes technical amendments to certain other provisions of the Plan (i) to describe awards of restricted units as restricted incentive units, (ii) to revise the change in control definition to (among other things) eliminate and clarify certain change in control events, (iii) to make minor changes to better conform certain provisions to applicable law and (iv) to include minor updates to clarify the meaning of, and consistently describe, certain terms thereunder.
 
The Partnership and CEI each have similar unit or share-based payment plans for employees, which are described below.  Share-based compensation associated with the CEI share-based compensation plan awarded to officers and employees of the Partnership are recorded by the Partnership since CEI has no substantial or managed operating activities other than its interest in the Partnership. Amounts recognized in the condensed consolidated financial statements with respect to these plans are as follows (in thousands):

The Partnership issued restricted incentive units in 2013 to officers and other employees. These restricted incentive units typically vest at the end of three years and are included in the restricted incentive units outstanding and the current share-based compensation cost calculations at June 30, 2013.  In March 2013, the Partnership issued 57,897 restricted incentive units with a fair value of $1.0 million to officers and certain employees as bonus payments for 2012, which vested immediately and are included in the restricted incentive units granted and vested line items above.
 
A summary of the restricted incentive units’ aggregate intrinsic value (market value at vesting date) and fair value of units vested during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are provided below (in thousands):

(d)         Crosstex Energy, Inc.’s Restricted Stock
 
On May 9, 2013, CEI's stockholders approved the amended and restated the Crosstex Energy, Inc. 2009 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “CEI Plan”). Amendments to the CEI Plan include an increase in the number of shares of CEI's common stock authorized for issuance under the CEI Plan by 1,785,000 shares to an aggregate of 4,385,000 shares of common stock. In addition, the CEI Plan includes technical amendments to certain other provisions of the CEI Plan (i) to clarify that awards of restricted stock units may be granted as stock awards, (ii) to revise the change of control definition to (among other things) eliminate and clarify certain change of control events, (iii) to make minor changes to better conform certain provisions to applicable law and (iv) to include minor updates to clarify the meaning of, and consistently describe, certain terms thereunder.
CEI’s restricted shares are valued at their fair value at the date of grant which is equal to the market value of the common stock on such date. A summary of the restricted share activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 is provided below:

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 price and location risks 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 accounting hedges. These transactions include “swing swaps,” “storage swaps,” “basis swaps,” “processing margin swaps,” “liquids swaps” and “put options.”  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.  Storage swap transactions protect against changes in the value of products that the Partnership has stored to serve various operational requirements (gas) or has in inventory due to short term constraints in moving the product to market (liquids/condensate). Basis swaps are used to hedge basis location price risk due to buying gas into one of the Partnership’s systems on one index and selling gas off that same system on a different index. Processing margin financial swaps are used to hedge fractionation spread risk at the Partnership’s processing plants relating to the option to process versus bypassing the Partnership’s equity gas.  Liquids financial swaps are used to hedge price risk on percent of liquids contracts. Put options are purchased to hedge against declines in pricing and as such, represent options, not obligations, to sell the related underlying volumes at a fixed price.

Changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s mark to market derivatives are recognized in earnings in the period of change. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges is recorded in AOCI until the related anticipated future cash flow is recognized in earnings. The ineffective portion is recorded in earnings immediately.

On all transactions where the Partnership is exposed to counterparty risk, the Partnership analyzes the counterparty’s financial condition prior to entering into an agreement, establishes limits and monitors the appropriateness of these limits on an ongoing basis. The Partnership primarily deals with two types of counterparties, financial institutions and other energy companies, when entering into financial derivatives on commodities. The Partnership has entered into Master International Swaps and Derivatives Association Agreements ("ISDAs") with its counterparties. If the Partnership’s counterparties failed to perform under existing swap contracts entered into under these ISDAs, the Partnership’s maximum loss as of June 30, 2013 of $3.4 million would be reduced to $3.1 million due to the offsetting of gross fair value payables against gross fair value receivables as allowed by the ISDAs.

Natural Gas
 
As of June 30, 2013, the Partnership had no balances in AOCI related to natural gas.
 
Liquids
 
As of June 30, 2013, an unrealized derivative fair value net gain of $1.1 million related to cash flow hedges of liquids price risk was recorded in AOCI. Of that amount, a net gain of $1.0 million is expected to be reclassified into earnings through June 2014. 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 is not reflected in the above table.
 
Derivatives Other Than Cash Flow Hedges
 
Assets and liabilities related to third party derivative contracts, swing swaps, basis swaps, storage swaps, processing margin swaps and liquids 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 condensed consolidated statement of operations. The Partnership estimates the fair value of all of its energy trading contracts using Level 1 and Level 2 inputs for future commodity prices that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. The estimated fair value of energy trading contracts by maturity date was as follows (in thousands):

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements
 
FASB ASC 820 sets forth a framework for measuring fair value and required disclosures about fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. Fair value under FASB ASC 820 is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, use of unobservable prices or inputs are used to estimate the current fair value, often using an internal valuation model. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the item being valued.
 
FASB ASC 820 established a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
 
The Partnership’s derivative contracts primarily consist of commodity swap contracts which are not traded on a public exchange. The fair values of commodity swap contracts are determined using discounted cash flow techniques. The techniques incorporate Level 1 and Level 2 inputs for future commodity prices that are readily available in public markets or can be derived from information available in publicly quoted markets. These market inputs are utilized in the discounted cash flow calculation considering the instrument’s term, notional amount, discount rate and credit risk and are classified as Level 2 in hierarchy.

__________________________________________________
*                 Unrealized gains or losses on commodity derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting are recorded in AOCI at each measurement date.  The fair value of derivative contracts included in assets or liabilities for risk management activities represents the amount at which the instruments could be exchanged in a current arms-length transaction adjusted for credit risk of the Partnership and/or the counterparty as required under FASB ASC 820.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The estimated fair value of the Partnership’s financial instruments has been determined by the Partnership using available market information and valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is required to develop the estimates of fair value; thus, the estimates provided below are not necessarily indicative of the amount the Partnership could realize upon the sale or refinancing of such financial instruments (in thousands):

The carrying amounts of the Partnership’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.
 
The Partnership had no borrowings under its revolving credit facility included in long-term debt as of June 30, 2013 and $71.0 million at December 31, 2012. As borrowings under the credit facility accrue interest under floating interest rate structures, the carrying value of such indebtedness approximates fair value for the amounts outstanding under the credit facility. As of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Partnership also had borrowings totaling $716.3 million and $715.3 million, net of discount, respectively, under the 2018 Notes with a fixed rate of 8.875% and borrowings of $250.0 million under the 2022 Notes with a fixed rate of 7.125% as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012.  The fair value of all senior unsecured notes as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was based on Level 1 inputs from third-party market quotations.  The fair value of obligations under capital leases was calculated using Level 2 inputs from third-party banks.
Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments And Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies
 
(a) Employment and Severance Agreements
 
Certain members of management of the Partnership are parties to employment and/or severance agreements with the General Partner. The employment and severance agreements provide those managers with severance payments in certain circumstances and, in the case of employment agreements, 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 LIG Pipeline Company and its subsidiaries on April 1, 2004. Contamination from historical operations was identified during due diligence at a number of sites owned by the acquired companies. The seller, AEP, has indemnified the Partnership for these identified sites. Moreover, AEP has entered into an agreement with a third party company pursuant to which the remediation costs associated with these sites have been assumed by this third party company that specializes in remediation work. To date, 23 of the 25 sites requiring remediation have been completed and have received a “No Further Action” status from the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality.  The remaining two sites continuing with remediation efforts are expected to reach closure in 2013. The Partnership does not expect to incur any material liability with these sites; however, there can be no assurance that the third parties who have assumed responsibility for remediation of site conditions will fulfill their obligations.
 
(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.
 
At times, the Partnership’s subsidiaries acquire pipeline easements and other property rights by exercising rights of eminent domain and common carrier. As a result, the Partnership (or its subsidiaries) is a party to a number of lawsuits under which a court will determine the value of pipeline easements or other property interests obtained by the Partnership’s subsidiaries by condemnation. Damage awards in these suits should reflect the value of the property interest acquired and the diminution in the value of the remaining property owned by the landowner. However, some landowners have alleged unique damage theories to inflate their damage claims or assert valuation methodologies that could result in damage awards in excess of the amounts anticipated. Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcomes of these matters, the Partnership does not expect that awards in these matters will have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
 
The Partnership (or its subsidiaries) is defending lawsuits filed by owners of property located near processing facilities or compression facilities constructed by the Partnership as part of its systems. The suits generally allege that the facilities create a private nuisance and have damaged the value of surrounding property. Claims of this nature have arisen as a result of the industrial development of natural gas gathering, processing and treating facilities in urban and occupied rural areas.  In January 2012, a plaintiff in one of these lawsuits was awarded a judgment of $2.0 million.  The Partnership has appealed the matter and has posted a bond to secure the judgment pending its resolution.  The Partnership has accrued a $2.0 million liability related to this matter.  Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcomes of these matters, the Partnership does not expect that awards in these matters will have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
Segment Information

Immaterial Correction of Prior Period Financial Statements
Accounting Changes and Error Corrections
Immaterial Correction of Prior Period Financial Statements

During the three months ended June 30, 2013, the Partnership determined certain immaterial corrections were required for previously-issued financial statements as discussed below. The corrections did not impact the Partnership’s operating income and were not considered material to the Partnership’s revenues and costs for the applicable periods.

The Partnership determined that revenues and purchased gas costs related to a new processing arrangement were improperly reduced from revenue and purchased gas costs which resulted in equal understatements of revenues and purchased gas costs in its previously-issued financial statements for the three and six months ended and June 30, 2012. As a result both revenues and purchased gas were understated by $43.2 million and $97.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, respectively. The following table reflects the revenues, purchased gas costs and total operating costs and expenses as previously reported and as adjusted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 (in thousands):

Subsequent Event

In July 2013, the Partnership determined that the Eunice processing plant (the “Plant”), which is located in south Louisiana and is part of our PNGL segment, will be shut-down during the fourth quarter of 2013 due to adverse economics driven by low NGL prices and low processing volumes which we do not see improving in the near future based on forecasted price curves. As of June 30, 2013 there are customer relationships classified as intangible assets with a net book value of $72.6 million which are directly associated with the Plant and will terminate with the shut-down of the Plant. The Partnership will record an impairment expense for these intangible assets in the amount of $72.6 million during the third quarter of 2013.
General (Policies)
Basis of Presentation
 
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 in the United States of America ("US GAAP") 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. Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated financial statements for the prior year to conform to the current presentation. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
 
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with US GAAP 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.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
 
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income Reclassifications. In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2013-2, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2013-2”). ASU 2013-2 requires disclosure of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts not reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about those amounts.  For the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we reclassified cash flow hedge (gains)/losses in the amounts of $(0.2) million and $0.1 million, respectively, and $(0.5) million and $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, included in other comprehensive income to revenues on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

We also provide crude oil, condensate and brine services to producers. We connect the wells of natural gas producers in our market areas to our gathering systems, process natural gas for the removal of NGLs, fractionate NGLs into purity products and market those products for a fee, transport natural gas and ultimately provide natural gas to a variety of markets. We purchase natural gas from natural gas producers and other supply sources and sell that natural gas to utilities, industrial consumers, other marketers and pipelines. We operate processing plants that process gas transported to the plants by major interstate pipelines or from our own gathering systems under a variety of fee arrangements. In addition, we purchase natural gas from producers not connected to our gathering systems for resale and sell natural gas on behalf of producers for a fee.  We provide a variety of crude services throughout the Ohio River Valley ("ORV") which include crude oil gathering via pipelines and trucks and oilfield brine disposal. We also have crude oil terminal facilities in south Louisiana that provide access for crude oil producers to the premium markets in this area.
