INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Shareholders
Prism Gas Systems, Inc.
Bedford, Texas
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Prism Gas Systems, Inc. and subsidiary (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for asset retirement obligations in 2003 as required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.

The Company accounts for its investments in Waskom Gas Processing Company (“Waskom”), the Matagorda Offshore Gathering System (“Matagorda”), and the Fishhook Gathering System (“Fishhook”) under the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated. |
|
2. | | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
| | Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. |
|
| | Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable include trade receivables and miscellaneous other receivables. |
|
| | Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and consist primarily of natural gas liquids. |
|
| | Fixed Assets—Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method at rates based on the estimated useful lives of the classes of assets, as follows: |
| | | | |
| | Years | |
Gas gathering equipment | | | 10 | |
Gas plants | | | 10 | |
Furniture and fixtures | | | 7 | |
Computer equipment | | | 5 | |
Computer software | | | 3 | |
Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, the applicable costs and reserves are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is recognized.
Investments—The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in partnerships where the ability to exercise significant influence over such entities exists. Investments in partnerships, at equity, consist of capital contributions and advances plus the Company’s share of accumulated
-F-7-
| | earnings as of the partnerships’ latest fiscal year-ends, less capital withdrawals and dividends. Any excess of cost over the underlying equity in net assets is recognized as goodwill. Under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, this goodwill is not subject to amortization and is accounted for as a component of the investment. Equity method investments are subject to impairment under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 18,The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock. |
|
| | Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses—Accounts payable and accrued expenses include trade accounts payable and period-ending accruals for items such as payroll, interest, and sales and use tax. |
|
| | Asset Retirement Obligations—SFAS No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, became effective beginning January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 143 requires the recognition of a fair value liability for any retirement obligation associated with long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over the asset’s useful life. See Note 3 for additional information on the Company’s asset retirement obligations. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 143, the Company recorded an addition to gas plant and gathering system assets of $130,702, an asset retirement obligation of $134,623, accumulated depreciation of $26,140 and a pretax charge of $16,991. In 2004, the Company recorded an addition to gathering system assets of $59,591 and an asset retirement obligation of equal value. The retirement obligation requires management to make significant estimates and judgments regarding the Company’s expected plugging and abandonment costs and retirement dates. |
|
| | Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires the Company to assess the need for an impairment of capitalized costs of its natural gas properties on a property-by-property basis. If the net capitalized cost of a property is more than the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be received from the property, then an impairment loss is recognized sufficient to bring net capitalized costs down to discounted future cash flows expected to be received from the property. |
|
| | During 2002, the Company recorded noncash impairment charges of approximately $214,000 to write down certain gas plant and gathering system assets at the Company’s McLeod plant. During 2003, the Company concluded, based on significant assumptions and projections, that there was no event, change in circumstance or expectation that would indicate the existence of an impairment loss. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize an impairment charge. During 2004, the Company recorded noncash impairment charges of approximately $137,500 to write down certain gas plant assets at the McLeod plant. Quoted market prices were the basis for determination of fair value related to the impairment charge. |
|
| | Revenue Recognition—Revenues are recognized when title passes or service is performed. The Company’s businesses consist largely of the ownership and operation of physical assets. End sales from these businesses result in physical deliveries of commodities to the Company’s commercial, industrial and retail customers. |
|
| | Comprehensive Income—In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130,Reporting Comprehensive Income, which established reporting and disclosure requirements for comprehensive income and its components within the financial statements. The Company had no comprehensive income components as of December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. Accordingly, comprehensive income is the same as the net income for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. |
-F-8-
| | Federal Income Taxes—The Company’s liability for federal income taxes is based on earnings for the year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates that will apply in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. |
|
| | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. It requires that all derivatives be included on the balance sheet as an asset or liability measured at fair value and that changes in fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. If such hedge accounting criteria are met, the change is deferred in shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The deferred items are recognized in the period the derivative contract is settled. The Company has not designated any of its derivative instruments as hedges and has elected to mark them to market, with all market value adjustments being recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the current period. |
|
| | Stock-Based Compensation—SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,defines a fair value method of accounting for issuance of stock options and other equity instruments. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. Pursuant to SFAS No. 123, companies are encouraged, but are not required, to adopt the fair value method of accounting for employee stock-based transactions. Companies are permitted to continue to account for such transactions under APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, but are required to disclose pro forma net income or loss as if the Company had applied methods prescribed by SFAS No. 123. |
|
| | On December 31, 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 148,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure, which amends SFAS No. 123. SFAS No. 148 provides alternative methods of transition for voluntary change to the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. In addition, SFAS No. 148 requires more prominent disclosures in the financial statements about the method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation and the effect of the method used on reported results. |
|
| | The Company complies with the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123 as amended by SFAS No. 148; however, the Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for its grants to employees. The Company uses the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25 to account for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, no costs are included in net income for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 related to stock-based employee compensation under the intrinsic value method. If the Company had used the fair value method under SFAS No. 123, no costs would have been recorded under this method. |
|
| | Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
|
| | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections,which became effective beginning January 1, 2003. The statement rescinds, updates, |
-F-9-
| | clarifies, and simplifies various existing accounting pronouncements. SFAS No. 145 rescinds SFAS No. 4,Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt, which required gains and losses from extinguishment of debt to be aggregated and, if material, classified as an extraordinary item, net of the related income tax effect. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. |
|
| | In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146,Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. SFAS No. 146 requires companies to recognize costs associated with exit or disposal activities when they are incurred rather than at the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. SFAS No. 146 supersedes Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 94-3,Liability Recognition for Certain Employee Termination Benefits and Other Costs to Exit an Activity (including Certain Costs Incurred in a Restructuring). SFAS No. 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. |
|
| | In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 46,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities(revised December 2003, “FIN 46R”). FIN 46 clarifies treatment of certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or in which equity investors do not bear the residual economic risks. FIN 46, which became effective on December 31, 2003, applies to variable interest entities (“VIEs”) created after January 31, 2003 and to VIEs in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. The implementation of FIN 46 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
|
| | In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149,Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities. SFAS No. 149 requires that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly and is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
|
| | In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity. SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer of financial instruments classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 modifies the accounting and financial statement disclosures of certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, issuers could account for as equity. SFAS No. 150 became effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2004. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s financial statements. |
|
| | In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment. This statement revised SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, and requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards. The effective date of this standard is interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2006. Stock options have not been issued in the Company’s stock; therefore, adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. |
|
3. | | ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION |
|
| | SFAS No. 143 became effective January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 143 requires the recognition of a fair value liability for any legal retirement obligations associated with long-lived assets in the period in which it is |
-F-10-
| | incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as a part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over the asset’s useful life. |
|
| | The Company’s long-lived assets captured under SFAS No. 143 are natural gas processing plants and pipelines. The Company’s asset retirement obligations include purging, plugging and remediation costs. |
|
| | The following is a reconciliation of the asset retirement obligation liability at December 31, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands): |

Waskom Gas Processing Company—During 2001, the Company purchased a 33.33% partnership interest in Waskom from a former partner in the partnership for a net purchase price of approximately $10.5 million. During 2003, the Company purchased an additional 16.67% partnership interest from a former partner in the partnership for a net purchase price of approximately $3.6 million, resulting in the two remaining partners each having a 50% partnership interest. Waskom was formed to engage in the gathering, processing and marketing of natural gas and natural gas liquids. Waskom is operated by the Company. As a result of a smaller initial capital contribution by one of the partners, under the terms of the partnership agreement, revenues and expenses are not evenly allocated to the partners until terms of a payout provision defined in the agreement were reached. The payout provision of the partnership agreement provides that a former partner and Prism (as successor to an original partner) shall receive from their share of operating revenues an amount equal to 135% of their initial investment as escalated pursuant to the provisions of the agreement. In August 2004, this payout threshold was met resulting in equal distribution of proceeds from that time forward.

7. | | EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION PLAN |
|
| | On January 13, 2000, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the Option Plan (the “Plan”) for certain officers and employees of the Company. The Plan provides for future awards of stock options of up to 450 shares of common stock, subject to certain restrictions, with an initial exercise price of $10,000. The exercise price is to be increased by 10% per annum, prorated for partial years. The initial date for the escalation of the exercise price is based on the weighted average subscription payment percentage. The subscription payment percentage is determined based on total subscriptions to date under the Company’s subscription agreements as a percentage of the maximum subscription of $25,520,000. The options vest evenly over a period of three years beginning with the date of the award. |

| | SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value. The Company has chosen to apply APB No. 25 and related interpretations to account for stock-based compensation. Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Company’s stock at the measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Since the stock options’ exercise price increases every year, and the vesting of the performance-based options is contingent on an uncertain future event, the measurement date will not occur until the options are exercised. No compensation expense has been recorded as of December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 related to outstanding stock options. The fair value of the Company’s common stock was determined using the price per share of $10,000 received in the sale of stock to NGP per the stock subscription agreement. |
|
8. | | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
|
| | During the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company made finance advisory fee payments totaling $170,124, $170,731 and $170,500, respectively, pursuant to the Fee and Reimbursement Agreement between the Company and NGP. |
|
| | During 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company engaged in certain material transactions with Waskom Gas Processing Company (“WGPC”). The Company believes that the terms of these transactions were comparable to those that could have been negotiated with unrelated third parties. As of December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, the Company had receivables of approximately $612,000, $271,000 and $251,000, and payables of approximately $7.4 million, $4.4 million and $2.3 million, respectively, due from and due to WGPC. |
|
| | As of December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, there are no loans or extensions of credit to directors and executive officers of the Company. |
|
9. | | CREDIT FACILITY |
|
| | On November 5, 2003, the Company entered into a $25 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“Credit Facility”) that matures on November 5, 2006. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, |
-F-16-
| | interest is payable quarterly at the bank’s stated adjusted base rate plus a margin ranging from 1% to 2%, or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75%, based on the ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA (1% and 1.75%, respectively, on December 31, 2004), as defined within the Credit Facility agreement. |
|
| | The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets. As of December 31, 2004, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility. The Company is required to maintain certain financial covenants under the debt agreement. |
|
10. | | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
|
| | The Company has noncancelable operating leases for office space and equipment that expire in May 2007. Rental expense under those leases was approximately $111,500, $99,500 and $80,000, respectively, for each of the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002. The following is a summary of future minimum rental payments due under the lease agreement at December 31, 2004: |

| | The Company is involved in various acquisitions and sales of property and other business transactions. Through the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and other legal actions. However, it is anticipated that all matters will be satisfactorily resolved and will not have a significant impact on the assets and operations of the entity. |
|
| | The Company is subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Company to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a noncapital nature are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that any future costs should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity or financial position. |
|
11. | | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
|
| | In August 2003, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase certain natural gas transmission, gathering and compression facilities located in Panola and Harrison Counties, Texas. At the execution of the purchase agreement, the Company funded a down payment of $1.5 million to the seller. The down payment is nonrefundable in the event that the Company breaches or, except as permitted under the agreement, fails to fully perform its obligations. The purchase was approved by FERC in March 2004. As a result of the loss of substantial volumes from the system, the parties agreed to an amended and reduced purchase price. As a result of the amended price a third party holding a preferential right of purchase exercised its right and replaced the Company as purchaser and acquired the system on March 31, 2005. The Company is entitled to a refund of its down payment and is obligated to reimburse the seller revenues attributable to the system for the period July 1, 2003 through March 31, 2005 resulting in a settlement to the seller of approximately $69,000. |
-F-17-
| | In the third quarter of 2004, the Company along with its partner in the Waskom Gas Processing Company, signed an Authority for Expenditure to expand the fractionation capacity at the Waskom plant by 2,000 barrels per day. The Waskom plant is nearing design capacity for gas processing and raw production fractionation and this expansion will allow the plant to continue fractionating third-party volumes. The total cost of the fractionation expansion is projected to be $3.2 million. As of December 31, 2004, approximately $86,000 had been spent on the project. |
|
| | On January 1, 2005, the Company converted from a Delaware C Corporation to a Texas limited partnership. Basic ownership of the Company remains the same between NGP and Prism management. |

PRISM GAS SYSTEMS I, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004
Prism Gas Systems Inc. and subsidiary (“Inc”), a Delaware corporation, was formed on January 10, 2000. Inc was party to subscription agreements with Natural Gas Partners, Inc. (“NGP”) and certain management members, which governed the sale of Inc’s common stock. Under these agreements, NGP and those certain management members committed to infuse $25,520,000 (less a 1% issuance fee) into Inc at the request of management in return for common stock. As of December 31, 2003, all capital had been funded under the subscription agreements.
On January 1, 2005, Prism Gas Systems I, L.P. (“Partners” together with Inc, the “Company”), a Texas limited partnership, was formed and acquired the common stock of Inc in exchange for partnership interests. Basic ownership of the Company remains the same between NGP and certain management members.
The Company is engaged in the gathering, processing and marketing of natural gas and natural gas liquids, predominantly in Texas and northwest Louisiana. The Company accounts for its investments in Waskom Gas Processing Company (“Waskom”), the Matagorda Offshore Gathering System (“Matagorda”), and the Fishhook Gathering System (“Fishhook”) under the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated.
2. | | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
Principles of Presentation and Consolidation—These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated and condensed financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements have been condensed and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual audited financial statements of the type contained in the Company’s audited consolidated and condensed financial statements. In the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods shown have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.
Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.
Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable include trade receivables and miscellaneous other receivables.
-F-24-
Inventories—Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and consist primarily of natural gas liquids.
Fixed Assets—Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method at rates based on the estimated useful lives of the classes of assets as follows:
| | | | |
| | Years |
Gas gathering equipment | | | 10 |
Gas plants | | | 10 |
Furniture and fixtures | | | 7 |
Computer equipment | | | 5 |
Computer software | | | 3 |
Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are sold, retired or otherwise disposed of the applicable costs and reserves are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is recognized.
Investments—The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in partnerships. Investments in partnerships, at equity, consist of capital contributions and advances plus the Company’s share of accumulated earnings, less capital withdrawals and dividends. Equity method investments are subject to impairment under the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 18,The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses—Accounts payable and accrued expenses include trade accounts payable and period-ending accruals for items such as payroll, interest, sales and use tax, and other miscellaneous liabilities.
Asset Retirement Obligations—SFAS No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, became effective beginning January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 143 requires the recognition of a fair value liability for any retirement obligation associated with long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over the asset’s useful life. See Note 3 for additional information on the Company’s asset retirement obligations. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 143, the Company recorded an addition to gas plant and gathering system assets of $130,702, an asset retirement obligation of $134,623, accumulated depreciation of $26,140 and a pretax charge of $16,991. In December 2004, the Company recorded an addition to gathering system assets of $59,591 and an asset retirement obligation of equal value. As of September 30, 2005 no additional retirement obligations have been recorded. The retirement obligation requires management to make significant estimates and judgments regarding the Company’s expected pipelines plugging and abandonment costs and retirement dates.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.
-F-25-
SFAS No. 144 requires the Company to assess the need for an impairment of capitalized costs of its natural gas properties on a property-by-property basis. If the net capitalized cost of a property is more than the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be received from the property, then an impairment loss is recognized sufficient to bring net capitalized costs down to discounted future cash flows expected to be received from the property.
During December 2004, the Company recorded noncash impairment charges of approximately $137,500 to write down certain gas plant assets at the McLeod plant. As of September 30, 2005, the Company concluded, based on significant assumptions and projections, that there was no event, change in circumstance or expectation that would indicate the existence of an additional impairment loss. Accordingly, the Company did not recognize an impairment charge. Quoted market prices were the basis for determination of fair value related to the impairment charges for 2004.
Revenue Recognition—Revenues are recognized when title passes or service is performed (physical delivery to the customer). The Company’s businesses consist largely of the ownership and operation of physical assets. End sales from these businesses result in physical deliveries of commodities to the Company’s commercial, industrial and retail customers.
Federal Income Taxes— Prior to conversion to a partnership structure (see note 1) and, with respect to Prism Inc.’s 1% ownership interest in the Waskom partnership, the Company’s liability for federal income taxes was based on earnings for the year. Deferred tax assets and liabilities were recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities were measured using enacted tax rates that would apply in the years in which those temporary differences were expected to be recovered or settled.
Effective January 1, 2005, the Partnership is a Texas general partnership and as such each partner is responsible for its share of federal income taxes. See note 5 for discussion of tax impact of conversion to a partnership structure.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities—SFAS No. 133,Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, established accounting and reporting standards for derivative instruments and hedging activities. It requires that all derivatives be included on the balance sheet as an asset or liability measured at fair value and that changes in fair value be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. If such hedge accounting criteria are met, the change is deferred in shareholders’ equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The deferred items are recognized in the period the derivative contract is settled. The Company has not designated any of its derivative instruments as hedges and marked them to market, with all market value adjustments being recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the current period.
Stock-Based Compensation—SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,defines a fair value method of accounting for issuance of stock options and other equity instruments. Under the fair value method, compensation cost is measured at the grant date
-F-26-
based on the fair value of the award and is recognized over the service period, which is usually the vesting period. As allowed by SFAS No. 123, the Company has elected to continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25,Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations in accounting for its grants to employees. The Company uses the intrinsic value method under APB Opinion No. 25 to account for stock-based employee compensation. In addition, no costs are included in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 related to stock-based employee compensation under the intrinsic value method. If the Company had used the fair value method under SFAS No. 123, no costs would have been recorded under this method.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In December 2004, the FASB issued a revision to SFAS 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123 (Revised), Share-Based Payment, will require the Company to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. This revised statement is effective at the beginning of the first fiscal year that begins after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, the Company will adopt the revised statement effective for its first quarter 2006 financial statements. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 123 (Revised) to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements (See footnote 7 for additional information).
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153,Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets — An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 153 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations. This interpretation clarifies the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, and is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 47 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements (see footnote 3 for additional information).
-F-27-
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This statement requires all changes in accounting principles to be accounted for by retrospective application to the financial statements for prior periods unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154 carries forward previously issued guidance with respect to accounting for changes in estimates, changes in the reporting entity and the correction of errors. This statement is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2005, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued EITF No. 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty. This pronouncement provides additional accounting guidance for situations involving inventory exchanges between parties to that contained in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions and SFAS 153, Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets. The standard is effective for new arrangements entered into in reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, of this standard and will adopt it on or before the effective date.
3. | | ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION |
SFAS No. 143 became effective January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 143 requires the recognition of a fair value liability for any legal retirement obligations associated with long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as a part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over the asset’s useful life.
The Company’s long-lived assets captured under SFAS No. 143 are natural gas processing plants and pipelines. The Company’s asset retirement obligations include purging, plugging and remediation costs.
The following is a reconciliation of the asset retirement obligation liability at September 30, 2005 (in thousands):

Waskom Gas Processing Company (Waskom or WGPC)—During 2001, the Company purchased a 33.33% partnership interest in Waskom from a former partner in the partnership for a net purchase price of approximately $10.5 million. During 2003, the Company purchased an additional 16.67% partnership interest from a former partner in the partnership for a net purchase price
-F-30-
of approximately $3.6 million, resulting in the two remaining partners each having a 50% partnership interest. Waskom was formed to engage in the gathering, processing and marketing of natural gas and natural gas liquids. Waskom is operated by the Company. As a result of a smaller initial capital contribution by one of the partners, under the terms of the partnership agreement, revenues and expenses are not evenly allocated to the partners until terms of a payout provision defined in the agreement were reached. The payout provision of the partnership agreement provides that a former partner and Prism ( as successor to an original partner) shall receive from their share of operating revenues an amount equal to 135% of their initial investment as escalated pursuant to the provisions of the agreement. In August of 2004, this payout threshold was met resulting in equal distribution of proceeds from that time forward.
Waskom’s condensed balance sheet information as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 and condensed statement of income information for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 have been summarized from financial statements, as follows:

The Company’s income tax expense (benefit) for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 were $7,114,343 and $1,328,230, respectively. The primary increase in the 2005 tax expense is due to Prism Inc.’s adoption of a plan of liquidation and the gain resulting from the initial distribution of its assets, except for a 1% interest in the Waskom partnership, to Prism Gas Systems I, L.P. (see note 1).

The deferred tax liability of $70,566 at September 30, 2005 is related to Prism Inc.’s 1% ownership of Waskom. Prism Gas Systems I, L.P. owns 49% of Waskom for the total 50% ownership by the Company on a consolidated basis.
6. | | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS |
The Company periodically enters into derivative contracts to mitigate the effects of significant fluctuations in commodity prices. At September 30, 2005, the Company had the following open contracts:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Volume | | | | | | | Call | | | Put | |
Product | | Per Month | | | Period Covered | | | Price | | | Price | |

Crude oil | | 2,000 Bbl | | January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005 | | $ | 45.00 | | | $ | 39.00 | |
Based on market prices at September 30, 2005, the fair value of the open contracts to the Company was a net liability of $571,740.
7. | | EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE UNIT PLAN (FORMERLY THE STOCK OPTION PLAN) |
On January 13, 2000, Inc.’s Board of Directors approved the Option Plan (the “Plan”) for certain officers and employees of Inc. The Plan provided for future awards of stock options of up to 450 shares of common stock, subject to certain restrictions, with an initial exercise price of $10,000. The exercise price increased by 10% per annum, prorated for partial years. The initial date for the escalation of the exercise price was based on the weighted average subscription payment percentage. The subscription payment percentage was determined based on total subscriptions to date under the Company’s subscription agreements as a percentage of the maximum subscription of $25,520,000. On January 1, 2005, when Partners acquired the common stock of Inc, the Partners adopted the Plan cancelling the stock options and granting incentive units with similar terms. An analysis of the stock option/incentive unit activity for the periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 follows:

Incentive units outstanding at September 30, 2005 | | | 340 | | | $ | 13,417 | | | $ | 13,417 | |
| | | | | | | | | |
SFAS No. 123 encourages, but does not require, companies to record compensation cost for stock-based employee compensation at fair value. The Company has chosen to apply APB No. 25 and related interpretations to account for unit-based compensation. Accordingly, compensation cost for unit options is measured as the excess, if any, of the fair value of the Company’s unit at the measurement date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the unit. The measurement of the incentive based performance units is based on an uncertain future event that is not probable of occurrence at September 30, 2005. No compensation expense has been recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 related to outstanding options/incentive units.
8. | | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
The Company made finance advisory fee payments totaling $85,026 and $127,612 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, pursuant to the Fee and Reimbursement Agreement between the Company and NGP.
During 2005 and 2004, the Company engaged in certain material transactions with Waskom. The Company believes that the terms of these transactions were comparable to those that could have been negotiated with unrelated third parties. As of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 the Company had receivables of approximately $341,000 and $612,000, and payables of approximately $5.7 million and $7.4 million, respectively, due from and due to WGPC.
Upon acquiring an interest in Waskom in 2001 the Company made a $255,000 advance to Waskom which has not been repaid as of September 30, 2005.
As of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 there are no loans or extensions of credit to directors and executive officers of the Company.
On November 5, 2003, the Company entered into a $25 million Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility (“Credit Facility”) that matures on November 5, 2006. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, interest is payable quarterly at the bank’s stated adjusted base rate plus a margin ranging from 1% to 2%, or LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.75%, based on the ratio of Funded Debt to EBITDA (1% and 1.75%, respectively, on September 30, 2005), as defined within the Credit Facility agreement. The Credit Facility is secured by
-F-33-
substantially all of the Company’s assets. The Company capitalized approximately $110,000 of financing cost related to the Credit Facility of which $48,551 and $74,254 remains unamortized as of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively. As of September 30, 2005, there have been no borrowings under the Credit Facility and the Company has been in compliance with the financial covenants required by the debt agreement.
While the Company has not used the Credit Facility it has had to make payments for the unused credit facility resulting in interest expense of $28,437 and $28,542 for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
10. | | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
The Company is involved in various acquisitions and sales of property and other business transactions. Through the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various claims and other legal actions. During 2004, a legal action was filed against the Company by a customer in connection with the provisions of a product purchase contract. The plaintiff alleged the Company improperly terminated the contract. During December 2005, a settlement was reached by the parties which requires the Company to pay the plaintiff $1.1 million. The liability for the settlement has been accrued as of September 30, 2005. It is anticipated that all other matters will be satisfactorily resolved and will not have a significant impact on the assets and operations of the entity.
The Company is subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Company to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a noncapital nature are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that any future costs should not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity or financial position.
In the third quarter of 2004 the Company, along with its partner in the Waskom Gas Processing Company, signed an Authority for Expenditure to expand the fractionation capacity at the Waskom plant by 2,000 barrels per day. The Waskom plant is nearing design

capacity for gas processing and raw production fractionation and this expansion will allow the plant to continue fractionating third party volumes. The total cost of the fractionation expansion is projected to be $3.2 million. As of September 30, 2005 approximately $2.4 million had been spent on the project.
On September 6, 2005, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement to sell the outstanding general and limited partnership interests in Prism Gas Systems I, L.P. to Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (“Martin”). The total sales price is estimated at $96 million, after adjustments for net working capital and certain capital expenditures. The transaction, which was subject to certain significant closing conditions and regulatory approvals, was completed on November 10, 2005.
The purchase price paid under the Purchase Agreement was funded through a combination of approximately $86 million in cash and $10 million from the issuance of Martin common units to certain of the Company’s unit owners. The common units were priced at $32.54 per common unit, based on the average closing price of Martin’s common units on the Nasdaq during the ten trading days immediately preceding and immediately following the date of the execution of the definitive purchase agreement.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Partners of
Waskom Gas Processing Company:
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Waskom Gas Processing Company (the “Partnership”) as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the related statements of income, partners’ capital, and cash flows for the three years in the period ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit also includes consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Partnership as of December 31, 2004 and 2003, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the period ended December 31, 2004, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
As discussed in Note 3 to the financial statements, on January 1, 2003, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations.

WASKOM GAS PROCESSING COMPANY
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
AS OF AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004, 2003, AND 2002
1. | | NATURE OF BUSINESS |
|
| | Waskom Gas Processing Company (the “Partnership”), a Texas General Partnership, was formed on November 1, 1995, by and between NGC Energy Resources, L.P., a Delaware Limited Partnership and NorAm Gas Processing Company, a Delaware Corporation, with both partners having an equal share in the Partnership. On April 22, 1997, the partners entered into an Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby Amoco Production Company, a Delaware Corporation, joined the Partnership. The Agreement assigned each partner an equal share in the Partnership. On October 1, 2001, Prism Gas Systems, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, acquired the interest of Dynegy Midstream Services Limited Partnership, a Delaware Limited Partnership, f/k/a Warren Energy Resources Limited Partnership, f/k/a NGC Energy Resources, L.P. On June 1, 2003, BP America Production Company, a Delaware Corporation, f/k/a Amoco Production Company sold and assigned its interest in the Partnership equally to Prism Gas Systems, Inc. and CenterPoint Energy Gas Processing Company, a Delaware Corporation, f/k/a NorAm Gas Processing Company. Upon assignment both Prism Gas Systems, Inc and CenterPoint Energy Gas Processing Company owned an equal percentage of the Partnership. On January 1, 2005, Prism Gas Systems, Inc. assigned 98% of its interest in the Partnership to Prism Gas Systems I, L.P., a Texas Limited Partnership. In summary, as of January 1, 2005, the Partnership consists of CenterPoint Energy Gas Processing Company (50%), Prism Gas Systems I, L.P. (49%) and Prism Gas Systems, Inc. (1%). Prism Gas Systems I, L.P. serves as operator. The Partnership is engaged in the processing and marketing of natural gas and natural gas liquids, predominantly in Texas and northwest Louisiana. |
|
2. | | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
|
| | Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. |
|
| | Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable include trade receivables and miscellaneous other receivables. |
|
| | Fixed Assets—Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method at rates based on the estimated useful lives of the classes of assets, as follows: |
| | | | |
| | Years |
Gas gathering equipment | | | 10 | |
Gas plants | | | 20 | |
Furniture and fixtures | | | 1 | |
Computer equipment | | | 3 | |
Computer software | | | 3 | |
Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, the applicable costs and reserves are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is recognized.
-F-42-
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses—Accounts payable and accrued expenses include trade accounts payable and period-ending accruals for items such as payroll, interest, and sales and use tax.
Asset Retirement Obligations—Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations,became effective beginning January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 143 requires the recognition of a fair value liability for any retirement obligation associated with long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over the asset’s useful life. See Note 3 for additional information on the Partnership’s asset retirement obligations. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 143, the Partnership recorded an addition to other assets of $115,964, an asset retirement obligation of $149,518, and accumulated depreciation of $26,166. The retirement obligation requires management to make significant estimates and judgments regarding the Partnership’s expected plugging and abandonment costs and retirement dates.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.SFAS No. 144 requires the Partnership to assess the need for an impairment of capitalized costs of its gas plant and pipelines. If the net capitalized cost of a property is more than the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be received from the property, then an impairment loss is recognized sufficient to bring net capitalized costs down to discounted future cash flows expected to be received from the property.
During 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Partnership concluded, based on significant assumptions and projections, that there was no event, change in circumstance or expectation that would indicate the existence of an impairment loss. Accordingly, the Partnership did not recognize an impairment charge.
Revenue Recognition—Revenues are recognized when title passes or service is performed. The Partnership’s business consists largely of the ownership and operation of physical assets. End sales from these businesses result in physical deliveries of commodities to the Partnership’s commercial, industrial, and retail customers.
Comprehensive Income—In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130,Reporting Comprehensive Income, which established reporting and disclosure requirements for comprehensive income and its components within the financial statements. The Partnership had no comprehensive income components as of December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002. Accordingly, comprehensive income is the same as the net income for the years ended December 31, 2004, 2003, and 2002.
Federal Income Taxes—The Partnership is a Texas General Partnership and, as such, has no liability for federal income taxes. Each partner is responsible for its share of federal income tax.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—In January 2003, the FASB issued Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 46,Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities(revised December 2003, “FIN 46R”). FIN 46R clarifies treatment of certain entities in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or in which equity investors do not bear the residual economic risks. FIN 46R, which became effective on December 31, 2003, applies to variable interest entities (“VIEs”)
-F-43-
| | created after January 31, 2003, and to VIEs in which an enterprise obtains an interest after that date. The implementation of FIN 46R did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements. |
|
| | In April 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 149,Amendment of Statement 133 on Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.This statement amends and clarifies financial accounting and reporting for derivative instruments, including derivative instruments embedded in other contracts and hedging activities. SFAS No. 149 requires that contracts with comparable characteristics be accounted for similarly and is effective for contracts entered into or modified after June 30, 2003. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements. |
|
| | In May 2003, the FASB issued SFAS No. 150,Accounting for Certain Financial Instruments with Characteristics of both Liabilities and Equity.SFAS No. 150 establishes standards for how an issuer of financial instruments classifies and measures in its statement of financial position certain instruments with characteristics of both liabilities and equity. SFAS No. 150 modifies the accounting and financial statement disclosures of certain financial instruments that, under previous guidance, issuers could account for as equity. SFAS No. 150 became effective for the Partnership beginning January 1, 2004. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Partnership’s financial statements. |
|
| | In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004),Share-Based Payment.This statement revised SFAS No. 123,Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,and requires companies to expense the value of employee stock options and similar awards. The effective date of this standard is interim and annual periods beginning after January 1, 2006. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements. |
|
3. | | ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION |
|
| | SFAS No. 143 became effective for the partnership January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 143 requires the recognition of a fair value liability for any legal retirement obligations associated with long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as a part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over the asset’s useful life. |
|
| | The Company’s long-lived assets captured under SFAS No. 143 are natural gas processing plants and pipelines. The Company’s asset retirement obligations include purging, plugging and remediation costs. |
|
| | A reconciliation of the asset retirement obligation liability at December 31, 2004 and 2003, is as follows (in thousands): |
| | | | |
Beginning balance—January 1 , 2003 | | $ | — | |
| | | | |
Cumulative effect adjustment | | | 150 | |

Ending balance—December 31, 2004 | | $ | 167 | |
| | | |
-F-44-
4. | | INCOME TAXES |
|
| | The Partnership is a Texas General Partnership and, as such, has no liability for federal income taxes. |
|
5. | | RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS |
|
| | During 2004, 2003, and 2002, the Partnership engaged in certain material transactions with the partners. The Partnership believes that the terms of these transactions were comparable to those that could have been negotiated with unrelated third parties. As of December 31, 2004 and 2003, the Partnership had receivables of approximately $7.4 million and $4.7 million, and payables of approximately $1.7 million and $0.3 million, respectively, due from and due to the partners. Additionally, distributions of products in-kind of $8,448,445, $5,686,960, and $13,234,592 in 2004, 2003, and 2002, respectively, were made to the partners. Distributions of products in-kind are valued at prevailing market prices at the time of distribution. |
|
6. | | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES |
|
| | The Partnership is subject to extensive federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Partnership to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a noncapital nature are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that any future costs should not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s liquidity or financial position. |
|
7. | | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS |
|

WASKOM GAS PROCESSING COMPANY
NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004
1. NATURE OF BUSINESS
Waskom Gas Processing Company (the “Partnership”), a Texas General Partnership, was formed on November 1, 1995, by and between NGC Energy Resources, L.P., a Delaware Limited Partnership and NorAm Gas Processing Company, a Delaware Corporation, with both partners having an equal share in the Partnership. On April 22, 1997, the partners entered into an Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement (the “Agreement”) whereby Amoco Production Company, a Delaware Corporation, joined the Partnership. The Agreement assigned each partner an equal share in the Partnership. On October 1, 2001, Prism Gas Systems, Inc., a Delaware Corporation, acquired the interest of Dynegy Midstream Services Limited Partnership, a Delaware Limited Partnership, f/k/a Warren Energy Resources Limited Partnership, f/k/a NGC Energy Resources, L.P. On June 1, 2003, BP America Production Company, a Delaware Corporation, f/k/a Amoco Production Company sold and assigned its interest in the Partnership equally to Prism Gas Systems, Inc. and CenterPoint Energy Gas Processing Company, a Delaware Corporation, f/k/a NorAm Gas Processing Company. Upon assignment both Prism Gas Systems, Inc and CenterPoint Energy Gas Processing Company owned an equal percentage of the Partnership. On January 1, 2005, Prism Gas Systems, Inc. assigned 98% of its 50% interest, in the Partnership, to Prism Gas Systems I, L.P., a Texas Limited Partnership. In summary, as of January 1, 2005, the Partnership consists of CenterPoint Energy Gas Processing Company (50%), Prism Gas Systems I, L.P. (49%) and Prism Gas Systems, Inc. (1%). Prism Gas Systems I, L.P. serves as operator. The Partnership is engaged in the processing and marketing of natural gas and natural gas liquids, predominantly in Texas and northwest Louisiana.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Presentation—These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s audited condensed financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004. These financial statements have been condensed and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual audited financial statements of the type contained in the Partnership’s audited condensed financial statements. In the opinion of the management of the Partnership’s general partner, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods shown have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year.
Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents include cash and all highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase.
-F-50-
Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable include trade receivables and miscellaneous other receivables.
Fixed Assets—Fixed assets are depreciated using the straight-line method at rates based on the estimated useful lives of the classes of assets, as follows:
| | | | |
| | Years |
Gas gathering equipment | | | 10 | |
Gas plants | | | 20 | |
Furniture and fixtures | | | 1 | |
Computer equipment | | | 3 | |
Computer software | | | 3 | |
Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations as incurred. Renewals and betterments are capitalized. When assets are sold, retired or otherwise disposed of, the applicable costs and reserves are removed from the accounts, and the resulting gain or loss is recognized.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses—Accounts payable and accrued expenses include trade accounts payable and period-ending accruals for items such as payroll, interest, and sales and use tax.
Asset Retirement Obligations—Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, became effective beginning January 1, 2003. SFAS No. 143 requires the recognition of a fair value liability for any retirement obligation associated with long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over the asset’s useful life. See Note 3 for additional information on the Partnership’s asset retirement obligations. Upon adoption of SFAS No. 143, the Partnership recorded an addition to other assets of $115,964, an asset retirement obligation of $149,518, and accumulated depreciation of $26,166. The retirement obligation requires management to make significant estimates and judgments regarding the Partnership’s expected pipelines plugging and abandonment costs and retirement dates.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets—The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 144,Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. SFAS No. 144 requires the Partnership to assess the need for an impairment of capitalized costs of its gas plant and pipelines. If the net capitalized cost of a property is more than the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be received from the property, then an impairment loss is recognized sufficient to bring net capitalized costs down to discounted future cash flows expected to be received from the property.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the Partnership concluded, based on significant assumptions and projections, that there was no event, change in circumstance or expectation that would indicate the existence of an impairment loss. Accordingly, the Partnership did not recognize an impairment charge.
-F-51-
Revenue Recognition—Revenues are recognized when title passes or service is performed (physical delivery to the customer). The Partnership’s business consists largely of the ownership and operation of physical assets. End sales from these businesses result in physical deliveries of commodities to the Partnership’s commercial, industrial and retail customers.
Federal Income Taxes—The Partnership is a Texas General Partnership and as such has no liability for Federal Income Taxes. Each partner is responsible for its share of federal income tax.
Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements— In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 153,Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets— An Amendment of APB Opinion No. 29. The guidance in APB Opinion No. 29,Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions, is based on the principle that exchanges of nonmonetary assets should be measured based on the fair value of the assets exchanged. The guidance in that Opinion, however, included certain exceptions to that principle. This statement amends Opinion 29 to eliminate the exception for nonmonetary exchanges of similar productive assets and replaces it with a general exception for exchanges of nonmonetary assets that do not have commercial substance. Nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows of the entity are expected to change significantly as a result of the exchange. This statement is effective for nonmonetary asset exchanges occurring in fiscal periods beginning after June 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 153 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In March 2005, the FASB issued Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation (“FIN”) No. 47,Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations. This interpretation clarifies the term “conditional asset retirement obligation” as used in SFAS 143,Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, and is effective no later than the end of fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of FIN 47 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements (see footnote 3 for additional information).
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS 154,Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. This statement requires all changes in accounting principles to be accounted for by retrospective application to the financial statements for prior periods unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154 carries forward previously issued guidance with respect to accounting for changes in estimates, changes in the reporting entity and the correction of errors. This statement is effective for accounting changes made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS 154 to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
-F-52-
In September 2005, the FASB’s Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued EITF No. 04-13,Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty. This pronouncement provides additional accounting guidance for situations involving inventory exchanges between parties to that contained in APB Opinion No. 29,Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions and SFAS 153,Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets. The standard is effective for new arrangements entered into in reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact, if any, of this standard and will adopt it on or before the effective date.
3. ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATION
SFAS No. 143 requires the recognition of a fair value liability for any legal retirement obligations associated with long-lived assets in the period in which it is incurred if a reasonable estimate of fair value can be made. The associated asset retirement costs are capitalized as a part of the carrying amount of the long-lived asset and depreciated over the asset’s useful life.
The Company’s long-lived assets captured under SFAS No. 143 are natural gas processing plants and pipelines. The Company’s asset retirement obligations include purging, plugging and remediation costs.
A reconciliation of the asset retirement obligation liability at September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 is as follows (in thousands):
| | | | |
Beginning balance—December 31, 2003 | | $ | 158 | |
Accretion expense | | | 9 | |
| | | |
Beginning balance—December 31, 2004 | | | 167 | |
Accretion expense | | | 7 | |
| | | |
Ending balance—September 30, 2005 | | $ | 174 | |
| | | |
4. RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
During 2005 and 2004 the Partnership engaged in certain material transactions with the partners. The Partnership believes that the terms of these transactions were comparable to those that could have been negotiated with unrelated third parties. As of September 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Partnership had receivables of approximately $5.7 million and $7.4 million and payables of approximately $0.3 and $1.7 million, respectively, due from and due to the partners. Additionally, distributions of products in-kind, which are recorded as operating revenue in the accompanying statements of income, were made to the partners of $9.5 million and $5.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Distributions of products in-kind are valued at prevailing market prices at the time of distribution.
-F-53-
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Partnership is subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws, which are constantly changing, regulate the discharge of materials into the environment and may require the Partnership to remove or mitigate the environmental effects of the disposal or release of petroleum or chemical substances at various sites. Environmental expenditures are expensed or capitalized depending on their future economic benefit. Expenditures that relate to an existing condition caused by past operations and that have no future economic benefits are expensed. Liabilities for expenditures of a noncapital nature are recorded when environmental assessment and/or remediation is probable, and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Management believes that any future costs should not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s liquidity or financial position.
In the third quarter of 2004 the Partnership signed an Authority for Expenditure to expand the fractionation capacity at the Partnership’s plant by 2,000 barrels per day. The Partnership’s plant is nearing design capacity for gas processing and raw production fractionation and this expansion will allow the plant to continue fractionating third party volumes. The total cost of the fractionation expansion is projected to be $3.2 million. As of September 30, 2005 approximately $2.4 million had been spent on the project.
6. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On September 6, 2005, Prism Gas Systems I, L.P (49% ownership interest in the Partnership) and Prism Gas Systems, Inc. (1% ownership interest in the Partnership) (together “Prism”) entered into a definitive purchase agreement to sell the outstanding general and limited partnership interests in Prism Gas Systems I, L.P. to Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (“Martin”). This transaction will transfer Prism’s 50% ownership in the Partnership to Martin. The transaction, which was subject to certain significant closing conditions and regulatory approvals, was completed on November 10, 2005.
-F-54-
Martin Midstream Partners L.P.
Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Statements
Introduction
The following unaudited pro forma financial statements have been derived from the historical consolidated financial statements of Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (“MMLP”) and the historical consolidated financial statements of Prism Gas Systems I, L.P. (“Prism Gas”). The pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes to pro forma financial statements and with the historical financial statements and related notes for both MMLP and Prism Gas filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
For income statement items, the pro forma financial statements assume that the Prism Gas acquisition and the related borrowings under our credit facility occurred on January 1, 2004. The pro forma financial statements give pro forma effect to the following transactions:
| | |
| • | the acquisition of Prism Gas for $97.4 million (including the assumption of approximately $4.2 million in working capital obligations, $0.3 million of assumed long-term liabilities and $0.5 million in acquisition expenses); |
|
| • | the financing of the Prism Gas acquisition through a combination of $62.8 million under our new credit facility, $5.0 million in a previously funded escrow account, $15.0 million of new equity capital provided by Martin Resource Management Corporation, $9.6 million of seller financing provided by certain Prism Gas sellers through the issuance of new MMLP common units, and $0.5 million in capital provided by Martin Resource Management Corporation to continue its general partnership interest in MMLP; and |
|
| • | $3.1 million of debt underwriting fees incurred in connection with borrowings under MMLP's credit facility. |
|
The pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions, and therefore the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments. However, management believes that the assumptions used provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the acquisition and offering and related transactions as contemplated and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the pro forma financial statements. The pro forma financial statements may not be indicative of the results that actually would have occurred if we had completed the acquisition and the offering on the dates indicated. In addition, the pro forma financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results of our future operations.

MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(a) Reflects $66.4 million in borrowings under Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (“MMLP”) credit facility (including $3.1 million of debt underwriting fees incurred in connection with such borrowings and $0.5 million in acquisition expenses), $5.0 million in a previously funded escrow account, $15.0 million of MMLP common units issued to Martin Resource Management Corporation, $9.6 million of new MMLP common units issued to certain of the Prism Gas sellers.
(b) Reflects the payment of $92.9 million for the acquisition of Prism Gas. The carrying value of Prism Gas’s net assets at September 30, 2005 was $22.7 million. After considering the $4.0 million working capital adjustment, the adjustment to fair market value at acquisition was $70.2 million. The preliminary purchase price allocation for the Prism Gas acquisition was based on a third party valuation and is as follows:

Current assets | | $ | 16,341 | |
Property and equipment | | | 16,975 | |
Investments in partnerships | | | 60,000 | |
Other assets | | | 309 | |
Covenant not to compete | | | 600 | |
Goodwill | | | 19,539 | |
Current liabilities | | | (20,568 | ) |
Long-term liabilities | | | (278 | ) |
| | | |
| Total | | $ | 92,918 | |
| | | |
(c) Reflects MMLP’s general partner’s contribution resulting from the common units issued in connection with the Prism Gas acquisition.
(d) Reflects the amortization of the bank fees of $3.1 million over a 5 year period, which is the life of the bank facility.
(e) Reflects the elimination of federal and state income taxes.
(f) Reflects the elimination of intercompany activity between MMLP and Prism.
(g) Reflects increase of interest expense resulting from the borrowings under MMLP’s credit facility of $66.4 million, which includes $3.1 million of debt underwriting fees incurred in connection with such borrowings and $0.5 million in acquisition expenses. The interest rate used to determine the pro forma adjustments for the borrowings under the bank credit facility was 6.62% which represents MMLP’s current rate on the credit facility. The interest rate was based on3-month LIBOR +225 basis points and can vary. An increase of1/8 percent in

the interest rate would increase interest expense and decrease income before income taxes by $0.1 million per year.
(h) MMLP’s general partner’s allocation of the net income is based on its combined 2.0% interest in MMLP. Its general partners’ 2.0% allocation of net income has been deducted before calculating net income per limited partners’ unit. The computation of pro forma net income per limited partner unit assumes that 5,829,652 common units and 3,402,690 subordinated units, or a total of 9,232,342 units, were outstanding at all time periods presented.
(i) Reflects the change in depreciation expense of the acquired assets from Prism Gas. Pro forma depreciation expense was based on estimated useful lives of 19 years for the gas plant and gathering system assets. The estimated useful life was determined using the weighted average increase in useful life of the McLeod, East Texas, and Hallsville assets. Due to the new carrying value of the Prism Gas assets upon acquisition, historical depreciation expense has been adjusted.
(j) Reflects the amortization of the covenant not to compete of $0.6 million over a2-year period.
