Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2010

(Unaudited)

(1) General

Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “CEI” or the “Company” mean Crosstex Energy, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

CEI, a Delaware corporation formed on April 28, 2000, is engaged, through its subsidiaries, in the gathering, transmission, processing and marketing of natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs). The Company connects the wells of natural gas producers in the geographic areas of its gathering systems in order to gather for a fee or purchase the gas production, processes natural gas for the removal of NGLs, transports natural gas and NGLs and ultimately provides natural gas and NGLs to a variety of markets. In addition, the Company purchases natural gas and NGLs from producers not connected to its gathering systems for resale and markets natural gas and NGLs on behalf of producers for a fee.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Company, its majority owned subsidiaries and Crosstex Energy, L.P. (herein referred to as the Partnership or CELP), a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership. The Partnership is included because CEI controls the general partner of the Partnership.

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 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 Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

(a)Management’s Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management of the Company 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) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which amends FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The ASU requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair-value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair-value measurements and information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair-value measurements. The ASU also clarifies existing fair-value measurement disclosure guidance about the level of disaggregation, inputs, and valuation techniques. The Company is still evaluating the ASU and determined that it is not currently impacted by the update.

(2) Asset Dispositions

The Partnership sold its Midstream assets in Alabama, Mississippi and south Texas for $217.6 million in August 2009. Sales proceeds, net of transaction costs and other obligations associated with the sale, of $212.0 million were used to repay long-term indebtedness and the Partnership recognized a gain on sale of $97.2 million. In October 2009, the Partnership sold its Treating assets for net proceeds of $265.4 million. Sales proceeds, net of transaction costs and other obligations associated with the sale, of $258.1 million were used to repay long-term indebtedness and the Partnership recognized a gain on sale of $86.3 million.

The revenues, operating expenses, general and administrative expenses associated directly with the sold assets, depreciation and amortization expense, allocated income taxes and an allocated interest expense related to the operations of the sold assets have been segregated from continuing operations and reported as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009. Interest expense of $9.2 million and $18.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, was allocated to discontinued operations related to the debt repaid from the proceeds from the asset dispositions using average historical interest rates. No corporate office general and administrative expenses have been allocated to income from discontinued operations. Following are revenues and income from discontinued operations (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30, 2009		Six Months Ended June 30, 2009
Midstream revenues	$	134,526	$	313,726
Treating revenues	$	15,470	$	31,747
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	3,906	$	7,171

(3) Long-Term Debt

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, long-term debt consisted of the following (in thousands):

	June 30, 2010			December 31, 2009
Bank credit facility, interest based on Prime and/or LIBOR plus an applicable margin, interest rate (per the facility) at December 31, 2009 was 6.75%	$	¾		$	529,614
New credit facility, interest based on Prime and/or LIBOR, plus an applicable margin, interest rate (per the new facility) at June 30, 2010 was 6.0%	¾			¾
Senior secured notes (including PIK notes (1) of $9.5 million), weighted average interest rate at December 31, 2009 was 10.5%	¾			326,034
Senior unsecured ntoes, net of discount of $14.4 million, which bear interest at the rate of 8.875%	710,563			¾
Series B secured note assumed in the Eunice transaction, which bears interest at the rate of 9.5%	7,058			18,054
	717,621			873,702
Less current portion	(7,058		)	(28,602		)
Debt classified as long-term	$	710,563		$	845,100

(1)The senior secured notes began accruing additional interest of 1.25% per annum in February 2009 in the form of an increase in the principal amounts thereof (the “PIK notes”). These notes were paid in full in February 2010.

New Credit Facility. In February 2010, the Partnership amended and restated its existing secured bank credit facility with a new syndicated secured bank credit facility (the “new credit facility”). The new credit facility has a borrowing capacity of $420.0 million and matures in February 2014. Net proceeds from the new credit facility along with net proceeds from the senior unsecured notes discussed under “Senior Unsecured Notes” below were used to, among other things, repay the Partnership’s existing credit facility and repay and retire all outstanding senior secured notes (including PIK notes) in February 2010. The Partnership recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $14.7 million when the debt was repaid due to make-whole interest payments on the senior secured debt of $9.3 million and the write-off of unamortized debt costs of $5.4 million. Debt refinancing costs totaling $28.1 million associated with

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

new borrowings, including the senior unsecured notes, are included in other noncurrent assets as of June 30, 2010 and amortized to interest expense over the term of the related debt.

As of June 30, 2010, there were no borrowings under the new bank credit facility and $112.6 million in outstanding letters of credit, leaving approximately $307.4 million available for future borrowing.

The new credit facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the Partnership’s subsidiaries and is secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the Partnership’s 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 the Partnership’s equity interests in substantially all of its subsidiaries.

The Partnership may prepay all loans under the new credit facility at any time without premium or penalty (other than customary LIBOR breakage costs), subject to certain notice requirements. The new 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 will not require any reduction of the lenders’ commitments under the new credit facility.

Under the new credit facility, borrowings bear interest at the Partnership’s option at the Eurodollar Rate (the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate) plus an applicable margin or the Base Rate (the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, the 30-day Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%, or the administrative agent’s prime rate) plus an applicable margin. The Partnership pays a per annum fee on all letters of credit issued under the new credit facility and a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the unused availability under the new credit facility. The letter of credit fee and the applicable margins for the interest rate vary quarterly based on the leverage ratio (as defined in the new credit facility, being generally computed as the ratio of total funded debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash charges) and are as follows:

Leverage Ratio	Base Rate Loans		Eurodollar Rate Loans		Letter of Credit Fees
Greater than or equal to 5.00 to 1.00	3.25	%	4.25	%	4.25	%
Greater than or equal to 4.50 to 1.00 and less than 5.00 to 1.00	3.00	%	4.00	%	4.00	%
Greater than or equal to 4.00 to 1.00 and less than 4.50 to 1.00	2.75	%	3.75	%	3.75	%
Greater than or equal to 3.50 to 1.00 and less than 4.00 to 1.00	2.50	%	3.50	%	3.50	%
Less than 3.50 to 1.00	2.25	%	3.25	%	3.25	%

Based on the forecasted leverage ratio for 2010, the Partnership expects the applicable margin for the interest rate and letter of credit fee to be at the mid-point of these ranges. The new credit facility does not have a floor for the Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate.

The new credit facility includes financial covenants that are tested on a quarterly basis, based on the rolling four-quarter period that ends on the last day of each fiscal quarter (except for the interest coverage ratio, which builds to a four-quarter test during 2010).

The maximum permitted leverage ratio is as follows:

·5.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2010;

·5.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2010;

·5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2010;

·5.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2011;

10

CROSSTEX ENERGY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

·4.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2011; and

·4.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2011 and each fiscal quarter thereafter.

The maximum permitted senior leverage ratio (as defined in the new credit facility, but generally computed as the ratio of total secured funded debt to consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash charges), is 2.50 to 1.00.

The minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined in the new credit facility, but generally computed as the ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and certain other non-cash charges to consolidated interest charges) is as follows:

·1.75 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2010 through December 31, 2010;

·2.00 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2011;

·2.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2011; and

·2.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2011 and each fiscal quarter thereafter.

In addition, the new credit facility contains various covenants that, among other restrictions, limit the Partnership’s ability to:

·grant or assume liens;

·make investments;

·incur or assume indebtedness;

·engage in mergers or acquisitions;

·sell, transfer, assign or convey assets;

·engage in transactions with affiliates;

·enter into certain burdensome agreements;

·make certain amendments to the omnibus agreement or its subsidiaries’ organizational documents;

The new credit facility permits the Partnership to make quarterly distributions to unitholders so long as no default exists under the new credit facility.

Each of the following is an event of default under the new credit facility:

·failure to pay any principal, interest, fees, expenses or other amounts when due;

11

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

·failure to meet the quarterly financial covenants;

·failure to observe any other agreement, obligation, or covenant in the new credit facility or any related loan document, subject to cure periods for certain failures;

·the failure of any representation or warranty to be materially true and correct when made;

·the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries’ default under other indebtedness that exceeds a threshold amount;

·judgments against the Partnership or any of its material subsidiaries, in excess of a threshold amount;

·certain ERISA events involving the Partnership or any of its material subsidiaries, in excess of a threshold amount;

·bankruptcy or other insolvency events involving the Partnership or any of its material subsidiaries; and

·a change in control (as defined in the new credit facility).

If an event of default relating to bankruptcy or other insolvency events occurs, all indebtedness under the new credit facility will immediately become due and payable. If any other event of default exists under the new credit facility, the lenders may accelerate the maturity of the obligations outstanding under the new credit facility and exercise other rights and remedies. In addition, if any event of default exists under the new credit facility, the lenders may commence foreclosure or other actions against the collateral.

If any default occurs under the new credit facility, or if the Partnership is unable to make any of the representations and warranties in the new credit facility, the Partnership will be unable to borrow funds or have letters of credit issued under the new credit facility.

The Partnership expects to be in compliance with the covenants in the new credit facility for the next twelve months.

Series B Secured Note. On October 20, 2009, the Partnership acquired the Eunice natural gas liquids processing plant and fractionation facility which included an $18.1 million series B secured note. This note bears an interest rate of 9.5%.  One remaining payment including interest of $7.4 million is due in 2011.

Senior Unsecured Notes. On February 10, 2010, the Partnership issued $725.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior unsecured notes (the “notes”) due on February 15, 2018 at an issue price of 97.907% to yield 9.25% to maturity. Net proceeds from the sale of the notes of $689.7 million (net of transaction costs and original issue discount), together with borrowings under the new credit facility discussed above, were used to repay in full amounts outstanding under the old bank credit facility and senior secured notes and to pay related fees, costs and expenses, including the settlement of interest rate swaps associated with the existing credit facility. Interest payments are due semi-annually in arrears starting on August 15, 2010.

The indenture governing the notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit the Partnership’s ability and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries to:

·sell assets including equity interests in its subsidiaries;

·pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase units or redeem or repurchase its subordinated debt (as discussed in more detail below);

·make investments;

·incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred units;

12

CROSSTEX ENERGY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

·create or incur certain liens;

·enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from its restricted subsidiaries to the Partnership;

·consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of its assets;

·engage in transactions with affiliates;

·create unrestricted subsidiaries;

·enter into sale and leaseback transactions; or

·engage in certain business activities.

The indenture provides that if the Partnership’s fixed charge coverage ratio (the ratio of its consolidated cash flow to its fixed charges, each as defined in the indenture) for the most recently ended four full fiscal quarters is not less than 2.0 to 1.0, the Partnership will be permitted to pay distributions to its unitholders in an amount equal to available cash from operating surplus (each as defined in the partnership agreement) with respect to the Partnership’s preceding fiscal quarter plus a number of items, including the net cash proceeds received by the Partnership as a capital contribution or from the issuance of equity interests since the date of the indenture, to the extent not previously expended.  If the Partnership’s fixed charge coverage ratio is less than 2.0 to 1.0, the Partnership will be able to pay distributions to its unitholders in an amount equal to an $80.0 million basket (less amounts previously expended pursuant to such basket), plus the same number of items discussed in the preceding sentence to the extent net previously expended.

If the notes achieve an investment grade rating from each of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, many of the covenants discussed above will terminate.

The Partnership may redeem up to 35% of the notes at any time prior to February 15, 2013 with the cash proceeds from equity offerings at a redemption price of 108.875% of the principal amount of the notes (plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date) provided that:

·at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior notes remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

·the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of the equity offering.

Prior to February 15, 2014, the Partnership may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at a “make-whole” redemption price. On or after February 15, 2014, the Partnership may redeem all or a part of the notes at redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) equal to 104.438% for the twelve-month period beginning on February 15, 2014, 102.219% for the twelve-month period beginning February 15, 2015 and 100.00% for the twelve-month period beginning on February 15, 2016 and at any time thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the applicable redemption date on the notes.

Each of the following is an event of default under the indenture:

·failure to pay any principal or interest when due;

·failure to observe any other agreement, obligation, or other covenant in the indenture, subject to the cure periods for certain failures;

·the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries’ default under other indebtedness that exceeds a certain threshold amount;

13

CROSSTEX ENERGY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

·failures by the Partnership or any of its subsidiaries to pay final judgments that exceed a certain threshold amount; and

·bankruptcy or other insolvency events involving the Partnership or any of its material subsidiaries.

If an event of default relating to bankruptcy or other insolvency events occurs, the senior unsecured notes will immediately become due and payable. If any other event of default exists under the indenture, the trustee under the indenture or the holders of the senior unsecured notes may accelerate the maturity of the senior unsecured notes and exercise other rights and remedies.

On June 25, 2010 and pursuant to a registered exchange offer, the Partnership exchanged all of its outstanding 8.875% senior unsecured notes due 2018 for an equivalent amount of new notes that were registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The terms of such registered notes are identical to the terms of the notes except that the transfer restrictions, registration rights and provisions for additional interest relating to the notes have been deleted.

(4) Obligations Under Capital Lease

(5) Partnership Transactions and Certain Provisions of the Partnership Agreement

(a) Sale of Preferred Units

On January 19, 2010, the Partnership issued approximately $125.0 million of Series A Convertible Preferred Units to an affiliate of Blackstone/GSO Capital Solutions for net proceeds of $120.8 million. Crosstex Energy GP, L.P. made a general partner contribution of $2.6 million in connection with the issuance to maintain its 2% general partner interest. The 14,705,882 preferred units are convertible by the holders thereof at any time into common units on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments in the event of certain dilutive issuances of common units. The Partnership has the right to force conversion of the preferred units after three years if (i) the daily volume-weighted average trading price of the common units is greater than $12.75 per unit for 20 out of the trailing 30 trading days ending on two trading days before the date on which the Partnership delivers notice of such conversion, and (ii) the average daily trading volume of common units must have exceeded 250,000 common units for 20 out of the trailing 30 trading days ending on two trading days before the date on which the Partnership delivers notice of such conversion. The preferred units are not redeemable but will pay a quarterly distribution that will be the greater of $0.2125 per unit or the amount of the quarterly distribution per unit paid to common unitholders, subject to certain adjustments. Such quarterly distribution may be paid in cash, in additional preferred units issued in kind or any combination thereof, provided that the distribution may not be paid in additional preferred units if the Partnership pays a cash distribution on common units.

14

CROSSTEX ENERGY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

The Company reflects changes in its ownership interest in the Partnership as equity transactions. The carrying amount of the non-controlling interest is adjusted to reflect the change in the Company’s ownership interest in the Partnership. Any difference between the fair value of the consideration received and the amount by which the non-controlling interest is adjusted is recognized in additional paid-in capital. The Company’s book carrying amount per Partnership unit exceeded the price per unit received by the Partnership for its January 2010 sale of preferred units resulting in a change in equity of $32.8 million. The change of $32.8 million and $0.1 million was recorded as a reduction in additional paid-in capital within stockholders’ equity with a corresponding adjustments of $32.8 million and $0.1 million to non-controlling interest and accumulated other comprehensive income, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2010. The Company recorded a deferred tax asset in the amount of $12.2 million relating to this equity adjustment; however, because the Company can only realize this deferred tax asset upon liquidation of the Partnership, and to the extent of capital gains, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset. The future conversion of the preferred units to common units will cause the Company to recognize an adjustment to the value of its tax basis in the Partnership. The Company will record the deferred tax adjustment through equity at the time of the conversion.

(b) Cash Distributions from the Partnership

Unless restricted by the terms of the Partnership’s credit facility and/or senior unsecured note indenture, 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. As described under (a) Sale of Preferred Units above, the preferred units are entitled to a quarterly distribution 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. The general partner is not entitled to a 2% distribution with respect to the quarterly preferred distribution of $0.2125 per unit that is made solely to the preferred unitholders. The general partner is entitled to a 2% distribution with respect to all distributions made to common unitholders. If the distributions are in excess of $0.2125 per unit, distributions are made 98% to the common and preferred unitholders and 2% to the general partner, subject to the payment of incentive distributions as described below to the extent that certain target levels of cash distributions are achieved. Under the quarterly incentive distribution provisions, generally the Partnership’s general partner is entitled to 13% of amounts the Partnership distributes in excess of $0.25 per unit, 23% of the amounts the Partnership distributes in excess of $0.3125 per unit and 48% of amounts the Partnership distributes in excess of $0.375 per unit. No incentive distributions were earned by the Company as general partner for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.

(6) Earnings per Share and Anti-Dilutive Computations

Basic earnings per share was computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The computation of diluted earnings per share further assumes the dilutive effect of common share options and restricted shares. All common share equivalents were antidilutive in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 because the Company had net losses for all periods.

 (8) Derivatives

Interest Rate Swaps

In conjunction with the repayment of its old credit facility in February 2010, the Partnership settled all of its interest rate swaps for total payments of $27.2 million. The balance of $0.6 million in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the interest rate swaps was recorded as realized loss as a part of the settlement. The Partnership did not enter into any new interest rate swaps during the three months ended June 30, 2010.

The impact of the interest rate swaps on net income is included in other income (expense) in the consolidated statements of operations as part of interest expense, net, as follows (in thousands):

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 prices and location risk related to these market exposures. Swaps are also used to manage margins on offsetting fixed-price purchase or sale commitments for physical quantities of natural gas and NGLs.

The Partnership commonly enters into various derivative financial transactions which it does not designate as hedges. These transactions include “swing swaps,” “third party on-system financial swaps,” “marketing financial swaps,” “storage swaps,” “basis swaps,” and “processing margin swaps.” Swing swaps are generally short-term in

19

CROSSTEX ENERGY, INC.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

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. Third party on-system financial swaps are hedges that the Partnership enters into on behalf of its customers who are connected to its systems, wherein the Partnership fixes a supply or market price for a period of time for its customers, and simultaneously enters into the derivative transaction. Marketing financial swaps are similar to on-system financial swaps, but are entered into for customers not connected to the Partnership’s systems. Storage swap transactions protect against changes in the value of gas that the Partnership has stored to serve various operational requirements. Basis swaps are used to hedge basis location price risk due to buying gas into 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.

The remaining term of the contracts extend no later than December 2011 for derivatives, except for certain basis swaps that extend to March 2012. Changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s mark to market derivatives are recorded in earnings in the period the transaction is entered into. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income 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 that allow for netting of swap contract receivables and payables in the event of default by either party. If the Partnership’s counterparties failed to perform under existing swap contracts, the Partnership’s maximum loss as of June 30, 2010 of $13.6 million would be reduced to $7.3 million due to the netting feature, all of which relates to other energy companies.

Impact of Cash Flow Hedges

The impact of realized gains or losses from derivatives designated as cash flow hedge contracts in the consolidated statements of operations is summarized below (in thousands):

		Three Months EndedJune 30,						Six Months EndedJune 30,
Increase (decrease) in Midstream revenue	��	2010			2009			2010			2009
Natural gas		$	¾		$	668		$	¾		$	1,157

Natural Gas

As of June 30, 2010, the Partnership has no balances in accumulated other comprehensive income related to natural gas.

Liquids

As of June 30, 2010, an unrealized derivative fair value net gain of $0.1 million related to cash flow hedges of liquids price risk was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Of this net amount, less than $0.1 million is expected to be reclassified into earnings through June 2011. 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 amount is not reflected above.

Derivatives Other Than Cash Flow Hedges

Assets and liabilities related to third party derivative contracts, swing swaps, basis swaps, storage swaps and processing margin 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 consolidated statement of operations. The Partnership estimates the fair value of all of its energy trading contracts using actively quoted prices. The estimated fair value of energy trading contracts by maturity date was as follows (in thousands):

	Maturity Periods
	Less than one year			One to two years		More than two years		Total fair value
June 30, 2010	$	(215	)	$	189	$	¾	$	(26	)

(9) 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. These techniques incorporated 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.

Net assets (liabilities) measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized below (in thousands):

	June 30, 2010Level 2		December 31, 2009Level 2
Interest Rate Swaps	$	¾	$	(24,728	)
Commodity Swaps*	39		(2,938		)
Total	$	39	$	(27,666	)

*Unrealized gains or losses on commodity derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income at each measurement date.

(10) Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments has been determined by the Company 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 Company could realize upon the sale or refinancing of such financial instruments (in thousands).

Fair value of derivative liabilities	9,468		9,468		42,443		42,443

The carrying amounts of the Company’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, 2010 and had $529.6 million as of December 31, 2009 and accrued interest under floating interest rate structures. Accordingly, the carrying value of such indebtedness approximates fair value for the amounts outstanding under the new and old credit facilities. As of June 30, 2010, the Partnership also had borrowings totaling $710.6 million under senior unsecured notes with a fixed rate of 8.875% and a series B secured note with a principal amount of $7.1 million with a fixed rate of 9.5%. As of December 31, 2009 the Partnership also had borrowings totaling $326.0 million under senior secured notes with a weighted average interest rate of 10.5% and a series B secured note with a principal amount of $18.1 million with a fixed rate of 9.5%. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes as of June 30, 2010 was based on third party market quotations. The fair value of the senior secured notes as of December 31, 2009 and the series B secured note as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 were adjusted to reflect to current market interest rates for such borrowings on the applicable 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.

(11) Income Tax

The Company has recorded a deferred tax asset in the amount of $20.2 million and $8.0 million relating to the difference between its book and tax basis of its investment in the Partnership as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. Because the Company can only realize this deferred tax asset upon the liquidation of the Partnership and to the extent of capital gains, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against this deferred tax asset. The deferred tax asset and the related valuation allowance increased by $12.2 million during the first quarter of 2010 due to the issuance of the Partnership’s Series A preferred units. The income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2010 reflects a tax benefit of $3.8 million for current period loss from continuing operations. Unrecognized tax benefits increased $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2010, and the increase, if recognized, would affect the effective tax rate.

Taxes are shown in the statements of operations as follows (in thousands):

(12) Commitments and Contingencies

(a) Employment Agreements

Certain members of management of the Company are parties to employment contracts with the general partner of the Partnership. The employment agreements provide those senior managers with severance payments in certain circumstances and prohibit each such person from competing with the general partner of the Partnership 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. The Company 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. In addition, the Partnership has disclosed possible Clean Air Act monitoring deficiencies it has discovered to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (LDEQ) and is working with the department to correct these deficiencies and to address modifications to facilities to bring them into compliance. The Company does not expect to incur any material environmental liability associated with these issues.

(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.

In December 2008, Denbury Onshore, LLC (“Denbury”) initiated formal arbitration proceedings against Crosstex CCNG Processing Ltd. (“Crosstex Processing”), Crosstex Energy Services, L.P. (“Crosstex Energy”), Crosstex North Texas Gathering, L.P. (“Crosstex Gathering”) and Crosstex Gulf Coast Marketing Ltd. (“Crosstex Marketing”), all wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Partnership, asserting a claim for breach of contract under a gas processing agreement. Denbury alleged damages in the amount of $16.2 million, plus interest and attorneys’ fees. Crosstex denied any liability and sought to have the action dismissed. An arbitration hearing was held in December 2009 and in February 2010 Denbury was awarded $3.0 million plus interest, attorneys’ fees and costs for its claims.  The final award totaling $3.5 million was paid in May 2010.  The Partnership accrued an estimate of $3.7 million for this award as of December 31, 2009 and reflected the related expense in purchased gas costs in the fourth quarter of 2009.

On June 7, 2010, Formosa Plastics Corporation, Texas, Formosa Plastics Corporation, America, Formosa Utility Venture, Ltd., and Nan Ya Plastics Corporation, America filed a lawsuit against Crosstex Energy, Inc., Crosstex Energy, L.P., Crosstex Energy GP, L.P., Crosstex Energy GP, LLC, Crosstex Energy Services, L.P., and Crosstex Gulf Coast Marketing, Ltd. in the 24th Judicial District Court of Calhoun County, Texas, asserting claims for negligence, res ipsa loquitor, products liability and strict liability relating to the alleged receipt by the plaintiffs of natural gas liquids into their facilities from facilities operated by the Partnership.  The lawsuit alleges that the plaintiffs have incurred at least $65.0 million in damages, including damage to equipment and lost profits.  The Partnership has submitted the claim to its insurance carriers and intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit.  The Partnership believes that any recovery would be within applicable policy limits. Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, the Partnership does not expect that an award in this matter will have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

At times, the Partnership’s gas-utility subsidiaries acquire pipeline easements and other property rights by exercising rights of eminent domain provided under state law. 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 gas utility 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.

On October 23, 2006, Crosstex North Texas Gathering, L.P. filed a lawsuit against Robert L. Dow in the County Court at Law No. 1 of Tarrant County, Texas seeking a pipeline easement across a portion of the defendant’s sand and gravel mining operation.  The court awarded the defendant $0.1 million in damages, but the defendant appealed and has recently claimed damages for the taking and damages to the remainder of his property of $50.0 million and damages due to lost profits from the sale of frac sand of $90.0 million.  The Partnership intends to vigorously defend the lawsuit. Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcome of this matter, the Partnership does not expect that an award in this matter will have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

The Partnership (or its subsidiaries) is defending a number of 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. Although it is not possible to predict the ultimate outcomes of these matters, the Partnership does not believe that these claims will have a material adverse impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements — (Continued)

On July 22, 2008, SemStream, L.P. and certain of its subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. As of July 22, 2008, SemStream, L.P. owed the Partnership approximately $6.2 million, including approximately $3.9 million for June 2008 sales and approximately $2.3 million for July 2008 sales. During 2008 and 2009, the Partnership fully reserved the unsecured claim of $3.9 million and the receivable was written off as of December 31, 2009. In April 2010, the Partnership settled its $2.3 million administrative claim for $2.1 million. The additional $0.2 million loss was recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2010.

(13) Segment Information

In 2010, the Partnership’s management realigned the composition of its segments. Accordingly, the Partnership has recast its segment information for prior periods to reflect this new alignment.

Identification of operating segments is based principally upon regions served.  The Partnership’s reportable segments consist of the natural gas gathering, processing and transmission operations located in north Texas (NTX), the pipelines and processing plants located in Louisiana (LIG) and the south Louisiana processing and NGL assets (PNGL). The Partnership’s gas and NGL marketing activities are primarily associated with the PNGL segment and are included there for segment reporting purposes.  Operating activity for assets sold in the comparative periods that was not considered discontinued operations as well as intersegment eliminations is shown in the corporate segment. Segment data for the periods ended June 30, 2009 do not include assets held for sale.

The Partnership evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on operating revenues and segment profits. Corporate expenses include general partnership expenses associated with managing all reportable operating segments. Corporate assets consist principally of property and equipment, including software, for general corporate support, working capital and debt financing costs. Profit in the corporate segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 includes the operating activity of assets sold but not considered discontinued operations.

Summarized financial information concerning the Partnership’s reportable segments is shown in the following table.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere in this report.

Overview

Crosstex Energy, Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed on April 28, 2000 to engage in the gathering, transmission, treating, processing and marketing of natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) through its subsidiaries. On July 12, 2002, we formed Crosstex Energy, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the Partnership), to acquire indirectly substantially all of the assets, liabilities and operations of its predecessor, Crosstex Energy Services, Ltd. Our assets consist almost exclusively of partnership interests in the Partnership, a publicly traded limited partnership engaged in the gathering, transmission, processing and marketing of natural gas and NGLs. These partnership interests consist of (i) 16,414,830 common units, representing approximately 25.0% of the limited partner interests in the Partnership, and (ii) 100% ownership interest in Crosstex Energy GP, L.P., the general partner of the Partnership, which owns a 2.0% general partner interest and all of the incentive distribution rights in the Partnership.

Our cash flows consist almost exclusively of distributions from the Partnership on the partnership interests we own. The Partnership is required by its partnership agreement to distribute all its cash on hand at the end of each quarter, less reserves established by its general partner in its sole discretion to provide for the proper conduct of the Partnership’s business or to provide for future distributions.

During 2009, the Partnership’s ability to distribute available cash was contractually restricted by the terms of its credit facility due to its high leverage ratios and it ceased making distributions. Although the Partnership’s new credit facility does not limit its ability to make distributions as long as the Partnership is not in default of such facility (and the indenture governing its senior unsecured notes only requires it to meet a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio test in order to make distributions), any decision to make cash distributions on its units and the amount of any such distributions will consider maintaining sufficient cash flow in excess of the distribution to continue to move towards lower leverage ratios. The Partnership has established a target over the next couple of years of achieving a ratio of total debt to Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairments, non-cash mark-to-market items and other miscellaneous non-cash items) of less than 4.0 to 1.0, and the Partnership does not currently expect to make cash distributions on its outstanding units unless such ratio is less than 4.5 to 1.0 (pro forma for any distribution). The Partnership will also consider general economic conditions and the outlook for its business as it determines to pay any distribution.

Since our cash flows consist almost exclusively of distributions from the Partnership on the partnership interests we own, we do not expect to receive any cash flows until the Partnership begins making distributions again. As of June 30, 2010, we had $4.6 million of cash (excluding cash held by the Partnership) which we expect to be sufficient to pay our expenses and federal income taxes and to fund our general partner contributions to the Partnership over the next several years based on our forecasted cash flows. We do not anticipate making any future dividend payments until we begin receiving distributions from the Partnership.

Since we control the general partner interest in the Partnership, we reflect our ownership interest in the Partnership on a consolidated basis, which means that our financial results are combined with the Partnership’s financial results and the results of our other subsidiaries. We have no separate operating activities apart from those conducted by the Partnership, and our cash flows consist almost exclusively of distributions from the Partnership on the partnership interests we own. Our consolidated results of operations are derived from the results of operations of the Partnership and also include our deferred taxes, interest income (expense) and general and administrative expenses not reflected in the Partnership’s results of operation. Accordingly, the discussion of our financial position and results of operations in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” primarily reflects the operating activities and results of operations of the Partnership.

Historically, the Partnership has operated in two industry segments, Midstream and Treating, with a geographic focus along the Texas Gulf Coast, in the north Texas Barnett Shale area, and in Louisiana and Mississippi.  During 2009 the Partnership sold certain non-strategic Midstream assets and the assets of the Treating segment.  The Partnership’s current focus is on the gathering, processing, transmission and marketing of natural gas and natural gas liquids (NGLs) which it manages in regional reporting segments of midstream activity. The Partnership’s

27

geographic focus is in the north Texas Barnett Shale (NTX) and in Louisiana which has two reportable business segments (the Crosstex system LIG and the south Louisiana processing and NGL assets or PNGL). The Partnership manages its operations by focusing on gross margin because its business is generally to purchase and resell natural gas for a margin, or to gather, process, transport or market natural gas and NGLs for a fee.

The Partnership’s margins are determined primarily by the volumes of natural gas gathered, transported, purchased and sold through its pipeline systems, processed at its processing facilities and the volumes of NGLs handled at its fractionation facilities. The Partnership generates revenues from four primary sources:

·purchasing and reselling or transporting natural gas on the pipeline systems it owns;

·processing natural gas at its processing plants;

·fractionating and marketing the recovered NGLs; and

·providing compression services.

The Partnership generally gathers or transports gas owned by others through its facilities for a fee, or the Partnership buys natural gas from a producer, plant, or shipper at either a fixed discount to a market index or a percentage of the market index, then transports and resells the natural gas at the market index. The Partnership attempts to execute all purchases and sales substantially concurrently, or it enters into a future delivery obligation, thereby establishing the basis for the margin it will receive for each natural gas transaction. The Partnership is also party to certain long-term gas sales commitments that it satisfies through supplies purchased under long-term gas purchase agreements. When the Partnership enters into those arrangements, its sales obligations generally match its purchase obligations. However, over time the supplies that are under contract may decline due to reduced drilling or other causes and the Partnership may be required to satisfy the sales obligations by buying additional gas at prices that may exceed the prices received under the sales commitments. In the Partnership’s purchase/sale transactions, the resale price is generally based on the same index price at which the gas was purchased.  However, the Partnership has certain purchase/sale transactions in which the purchase price is based on a production-area index and the sales price is based on a market-area index, and it captures the difference in the indices (also referred to as basis spread), less the transportation expenses from the two areas, as its margin. Changes in the basis spread can increase or decrease margins. For example, the Partnership is a party to a contract with a term to 2019 to supply approximately 150 MMBtu/d of gas. It buys the gas for this contract on several different production-area indices into its north Texas pipeline and sells the gas into a different market area index. For the first half of 2010, this imbalance resulted in a loss of approximately $3.1 million on this contract due to the basis differentials between the various market prices, which may be more or less in future periods depending on market conditions.

The Partnership also realizes gross margins from processing services primarily through three different contract arrangements: processing margins (margin), percentage of liquids (POL) or fixed-fee based. Under margin contract arrangements the gross margins are higher during periods of high liquid prices relative to natural gas prices. Gross margin results under POL contracts are impacted only by the value of the liquids produced with margins higher during periods of relatively high liquids prices. Under fixed-fee based contracts margins are driven by throughput volume. See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk-Commodity Price Risk.”

Operating expenses are costs directly associated with the operations of a particular asset. Among the most significant of these costs are those associated with direct labor and supervision and associated transportation and communication costs, property insurance, ad valorem taxes, repair and maintenance expenses, measurement and utilities. These costs are normally fairly stable across broad volume ranges, and therefore do not normally decrease or increase significantly in the short term with decreases or increases in the volume of gas moved through the asset.

Recent Developments and Business Strategy

During the past two years, the Partnership has repositioned itself through asset dispositions and by recapitalizing and reorganizing its business. During the first quarter of 2010, the Partnership recapitalized its business through the following transactions:

·Sale of Preferred Units. On January 19, 2010, the Partnership issued approximately $125.0 million of Series A Convertible Preferred Units to an affiliate of Blackstone/GSO Capital Solutions for net proceeds of $120.8

28

million. We made a general partner contribution of $2.6 million in connection with the issuance to maintain our 2% general partner interest. The 14,705,882 preferred units are convertible by the holders thereof at any time into common units on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments in the event of certain dilutive issuances of common units. The Partnership has the right to force conversion of the preferred units after three years if (i) the daily volume-weighted average trading price of the common units is greater than $12.75 per unit for 20 out of the trailing 30 trading days ending on two trading days before the date on which the Partnership delivers notice of such conversion and (ii) the average daily trading volume of its common units must have exceeded 250,000 common units for 20 out of the trailing 30 trading days ending on two trading days before the date on which the Partnership delivers notice of such conversion. The preferred units are not redeemable. They are entitled to a quarterly distribution that is the greater of $0.2125 per unit or the amount of the quarterly distribution per unit paid to common unitholders, subject to certain adjustments. Such quarterly distribution may be paid in cash, in additional preferred units issued in kind or any combination thereof, provided that the distribution may not be paid in additional preferred units if we pay a cash distribution on common units. The first quarter preferred unit distribution of $3.1 million was paid in cash in May 2010. In August 2010, the Partnership declared that it will pay its second quarterly preferred unit distribution of $3.1 million in cash in August 2010.

·Issuance of Senior Unsecured Notes. On February 10, 2010, the Partnership issued $725.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.875% senior unsecured notes due 2018 at an issue price of 97.907% to yield 9.25% to maturity, including the original issue discount (OID). Net proceeds from the sale of the notes of $689.7 million (net of transaction costs and OID), together with borrowings under its new credit facility discussed below, were used to repay in full amounts outstanding under its old bank credit facility and senior secured notes and to pay related fees, costs and expenses, including the settlement of interest rate swaps associated with its old credit facility. The notes are unsecured and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior basis by certain of the Partnership’s direct and indirect subsidiaries, including substantially all of its current subsidiaries. Interest payments are due semi-annually in arrears starting in August 2010. The Partnership has the option to redeem all or a portion of the notes at any time on or after February 15, 2014, at the specified redemption prices. Prior to February 15, 2014, the Partnership may redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at a “make-whole” redemption price. In addition, the Partnership may redeem up to 35.0% of the notes prior to February 15, 2013 with the cash proceeds from certain equity offerings.

·New Credit Facility. In February 2010, the Partnership amended and restated its secured bank credit facility with a new secured bank credit facility. The new credit facility has a borrowing capacity of $420.0 million and matures in February 2014. Obligations under the new credit facility are secured by first priority liens on substantially all of the Partnership’s 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 the equity interests in substantially all of its subsidiaries. Under the new credit facility, borrowings bear interest at the Partnership’s option at the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate plus an applicable margin, or the highest of the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, the 30-day Eurodollar Rate plus 1.0%, or the administrative agent’s prime rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. The Partnership pays a per annum fee on all letters of credit issued under the new credit facility, and pays a commitment fee of 0.50% per annum on the unused availability under the new credit facility. The letter of credit fee and the applicable margins for its interest rate vary quarterly based on the Partnership’s leverage ratio.

In addition to recapitalizing its business, the Partnership is focusing on the performance and growth of its existing assets while evaluating future strategic acquisitions and selective construction and expansion opportunities.  The Partnership continues its initiatives to maximize utilization of its assets by improving operations and reducing operating costs.  The Partnership also entered into a 10-year firm transportation agreement in June 2010 with a major Barnett Shale producer for an additional 50 MMcf/d of natural gas on the Partnership’s gathering system in north Texas.  The Partnership is constructing a compressor station on an existing gathering line at an estimated cost of less than $10.0 million to accommodate such transportation requirements. The project is scheduled to be completed and operational in the first quarter of 2011.  The annual cash flow from the agreement is expected to be approximately $8.0 million. During the second half of 2010, the Partnership will expand its natural gas gathering system in the Barnett Shale with a $25.0 million 15-mile pipeline project.  The project is supported by volumetric commitments from a major gas producer and is expected to have throughput of approximately 100 Bcf of gas during the first four years of operation.  The project is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2011.

The Partnership also completed the sale of its east Texas assets for $39.8 million in January 2010 and recognized a $14.0 million gain on disposition.

29

The Partnership’s future operations may be negatively impacted by recent developments in the energy industry. In light of the explosion and fire on the drilling rig Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico, as well as recent incidents involving the release of natural gas and fluids as a result of drilling activities in the Marcellus Shale, there has been a variety of regulatory initiatives at the federal and state level to restrict oil and gas drilling operations in certain locations. Any increased regulation or suspension of oil and gas exploration and production, or revision or reinterpretation of existing laws and regulations, that arises out of these incidents or otherwise could result in delays and higher operating costs. Such costs or significant delays could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership’s business, financial condition and results of operations. The Partnership must also comply with laws and regulations prohibiting fraud and market manipulations in energy markets. To the extent the Partnership is a shipper on interstate pipelines, it must comply with the tariffs of such pipelines and with federal policies related to the use of interstate capacity.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2009

Gross Margin and Gas and NGL Marketing Activities. Gross margin was $84.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $79.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $4.9 million, or 6.2%. The increase was primarily due to the continuation of a favorable gas processing environment and growth on our gathering and transmission systems.

·The LIG segment contributed gross margin growth of $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 over the same period in 2009.  Approximately $4.4 million of this increase came on the gathering and transmission system due primarily to improved pricing and higher volumes on the northern part of the system focused on the Haynesville shale. The processing plants on the system contributed approximately $0.6 million in gross margin growth.

·The NTX segment had a gross margin decline of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 over the same period in 2009, which was primarily due to a throughput volume decrease on the north Texas gathering systems.

·The PNGL segment had gross margin growth of $2.6 million for the comparable periods due to the continued favorable processing environment. Gross margin from gas and NGL marketing activities increased for the comparative periods by approximately $2.0 million primarily due to an improved fee structure and an increase in activity in the liquids marketing business. In addition, the Riverside facility and the Pelican processing plant had gross margin increases of $1.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively.  These increases were partially offset by a combined gross margin decline of $1.1 million on the other processing facilities in the region primarily due to lower plant inlet volumes.

·The corporate segment reported a gross margin decrease of approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to same period in 2009 due to gross margin associated with sold assets.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $25.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $27.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 8.6%. The decrease is a result of strategic initiatives undertaken to reduce expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses were $12.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $14.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $2.0 million, or 13.9%. The decrease is primarily a result of the following:

·Labor cost decreases of $1.1 million related to headcount reductions;

·Bad debt reduction of $0.9 million;

·Rent cancellation fees incurred during 2009 of $0.3 million;

·Reduced professional fees for consulting of $0.5 million; and

·Stock based compensation increase of $0.4 million for new grants.

Gain/Loss on Derivatives. The Partnership had a loss on derivatives of $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to a gain of $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009. The derivative transaction types contributing to the net (gain) loss are as follows (in millions):

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $26.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $30.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $4.1 million, or 13.2%. The decrease includes $2.7 million due to change in estimated depreciable lives based on the 2009 depreciation study regarding processing plants, $1.7 million due to 2009 expense from abandonment of certain planned projects and $0.5 million from the sale of the east Texas assets. These decreases were partially offset by $0.5 million depreciation on the Eunice natural gas liquids processing plant and fractionation facility purchased during the fourth quarter of 2009.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $20.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $21.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $1.7 million or 8.0%. Net interest expense consists of the following (in millions):

Six Months Ended June 30, 2010 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2009

Gross Margin and Gas and NGL Marketing Activities. Gross margin was $165.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $148.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $17.2 million, or 11.6%. The increase was primarily due to the continuation of a favorable gas processing environment and growth on our gathering and transmission systems.

·The LIG segment contributed gross margin growth of $16.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 over the same period in 2009.  Approximately $9.4 million of this increase came on the gathering and transmission system due primarily to improved pricing and higher volumes on the northern part of the system focused on the Haynesville shale. The Plaquemine and Gibson processing plants on the system contributed gross margin growth of $3.8 million and $2.9 million, respectively.  These increases are attributed to the favorable processing environment in the first six months of the year.

·The NTX segment had a gross margin decline of $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 over the same period in 2009, which was primarily due to a throughput volume decrease on the north Texas gathering systems.

·The PNGL segment had gross margin growth of $7.7 million for the comparable periods due to the continued favorable processing environment. Gross margin from gas and NGL marketing activities increased for the comparative periods by approximately $3.6 million primarily due to an improved fee structure and an increase in activity in the liquids marketing business. In addition, the Pelican, Riverside and Eunice facilities had gross margin increases of $2.2 million, $2.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively.  These increases were offset in part by a gross margin decline of $1.7 million at the Sabine Pass plant due primarily to lower inlet volumes.

·The corporate segment reported a gross margin decrease of approximately $2.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to same period in 2009 due to gross margin associated with sold assets.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses were $51.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $55.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $3.8 million, or 6.9%. The decrease is a result of strategic initiatives undertaken to reduce expenses.

·Labor cost decreases of $3.8 million related to headcount reductions;

·Bad debt reduction of $0.7 million;

·Rent cancellation fees incurred during 2009 of $0.9 million;

·Increased professional fees primarily legal fees of $0.2 million; and

·Stock based compensation increase of $1.3 million for new grants.

Gain on Sale of Property. Assets sold during the six months ended June 30, 2010 which were not in discontinued operations, generated a net gain of $13.8 million resulting primarily from the sale of the east Texas assets.

Impairments. Impairment expense was $1.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and there were no impairments during the six months ended June 30, 2009. The impairment in 2010 primarily relates to the write down of certain pipe inventory prior to its sale.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses were $54.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $59.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decrease of $5.8 million, or 9.6%. The decrease includes $5.4 million due to change in estimated depreciable lives based on the 2009 depreciation study regarding processing plants and $1.0 million from the sale of the east Texas assets. These decreases were partially offset by $1.1 million depreciation on the Eunice natural gas liquids processing plant and fractionation facility purchased during the fourth quarter of 2009.

Interest Expense. Interest expense was $46.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to $39.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, an increase of $7.6 million, or 19.3%. The increase in interest expense between periods was primarily due to additional expense totaling $1.6 million associated with make-whole interest payments and the write-off of debt issue costs for the January repayment of debt with proceeds from the preferred unit sale and the east Texas asset sale. Net interest expense consists of the following (in millions):

Non-controlling partners’ share of Partnership net loss from continuing operations	$	(9.4	)	$	(20.6	)

The non-controlling partners’ share of the Partnership’s net loss from continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2010 includes $6.2 million of income attributable to the preferred units.

Discontinued Operations. During 2009, the Partnership sold certain non-strategic assets.  In accordance with FASB ASC 360-10-05-4 the results of operations related to the assets sold are presented in income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 in the statements of operations. Revenues, operating expenses, general and administrative expenses associated directly to the assets sold, depreciation and amortization, allocated Texas margin tax and allocated interest are reflected in the income from discontinued operations. No corporate office general and administrative expenses have been allocated to income from discontinued operations. Following are the components of revenues and earnings from discontinued operations and operating data (dollars in millions):

	Six Months EndedJune 30, 2009
Midstream revenues	$	313.7
Treating revenues	$	31.7
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	7.2
Gathering and Transmission Volumes (MMBtu/d)	567,000

Critical Accounting Policies

Information regarding the Company’s Critical Accounting Policies is included in Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities was $16.0 million and $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Income before non-cash income and expenses and changes in working capital for comparative periods were as follows (in millions):

	Six Months EndedJune 30,
	2010			2009
Income before non-cash income and expenses	$	(1.2	)	$	51.8
Changes in working capital	$	17.2		$	(34.3	)

The primary reason for the decrease in cash flow from income before non-cash income and expenses of $53.0 million from 2009 to 2010 relates to interest payments for settlements of interest rate swaps, make-whole payments, and PIK notes.

35

Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Net cash provided by investing activities was $41.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and net cash used in investing activities was $56.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The primary investing outflows were capital expenditures, net of accrued amounts, as follows (in millions):

	Six Months EndedJune 30,
	2010		2009
Growth capital expenditures	$	14.3	$	70.1
Maintenance capital expenditures	4.3		4.8
Total	$	18.6	$	74.9

Cash flows from investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 also includes proceeds from property sales of $59.5 million and $10.7 million, respectively. The east Texas assets and a non-operational processing plant held in inventory were sold in the first half of 2010 for $39.8 million and $19.5 million, respectively. The Arkoma asset was sold in the first half of 2009 for $11.0 million.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities was $62.6 million and net cash provided by financing was $36.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Financing activities during 2010 primarily relate to the issuance of senior unsecured notes, sale of preferred units and establishment of a new credit facility and repaying the Partnership’s prior credit facility and senior secured notes. Financing activities during 2009 primarily relate to funding of capital expenditures. The Partnership’s financings have primarily consisted of borrowings and repayments under the old and new bank credit facilities, borrowings and repayments under capital lease obligations, senior note repayments, senior unsecured note borrowings and debt refinancing costs during 2010 and 2009 as follows (in millions):

	Six Months EndedJune 30,
	2010			2009
Net borrowings (repayments) under bank credit facilities	$	(529.6	)	$	82.8
Senior secured note repayments	(316.5		)	(4.7		)
Senior unsecured note borrowings (net of discount on the note)	710.6			¾
Net borrowings (repayments) under capital lease obligations	(1.1		)	0.1
Debt refinancing costs	(28.5		)	(13.4		)

Historically dividends to shareholders and distributions to non-controlling partners in the Partnership represented our primary use of cash in financing activities. We ceased making dividends to our shareholders and the Partnership ceased making distributions to its unitholders in the first quarter of 2009 due to liquidity issues and because the terms of the Partnership’s old credit facility and senior secured note agreement restricted its ability to make distributions unless certain conditions were met. Total cash distributions made during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were as follows (in millions):

	Six Months EndedJune 30,
	2010		2009
Dividend to shareholders	$	¾	$	4.2
Non-controlling partner distributions (including preferred distributions in 2010)	3.3		7.5
Total	$	3.3	$	11.7

Although the Partnership’s new credit facility does not limit its ability to make distributions as long as the Partnership is not in default of such facility (and the indenture governing the Partnership’s senior unsecured notes requires it to meet a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio test in order to make distributions of available cash), any decision to make cash distributions on its units and the amount of any such distributions will consider maintaining sufficient cash flow in excess of the distribution to continue to move towards lower leverage ratios. The Partnership has established a target over the next couple of years of achieving a ratio of total debt to Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairments, non-cash mark-to-market items and other miscellaneous non-cash items) of less than 4.0 to 1.0, and the Partnership does not currently expect to make cash distributions on outstanding units unless such ratio is less than 4.5 to 1.0 (pro forma for any distribution). The Partnership will also consider general economic conditions and its outlook for business as it determines to pay any distribution. Based on the Partnership’s current projections, it expects to make cash distributions on common and preferred units in the third quarter of 2010 (payable in November 2010). We will not resume dividends to shareholders until the Partnership resumes cash distributions to us.

The Partnership paid a cash distribution on its preferred units of $0.2125 per unit for a total $3.1 million in May 2010. In August 2010, the Partnership declared a cash distribution on its preferred units of $0.2125 per unit for a total of $3.1 million payable in August 2010. As described under “Recent Developments and Business Strategy — Sale of Preferred Units” above, the quarterly distributions on the preferred units may be paid in cash, in additional preferred units issued in kind or any combination thereof at the Partnership’s discretion. The distribution payments in cash to the preferred units were in compliance with the Partnership’s financial guidelines of achieving a ratio of debt to Adjusted EBITDA of less than 4.5 to 1.0 on a pro forma basis after making cash distributions.

36

In order to reduce its interest costs, the Partnership does not borrow money to fund outstanding checks until they are presented to the bank. Fluctuations in drafts payable are caused by timing of disbursements, cash receipts and draws on the Partnership’s revolving credit facility. The Partnership borrows money under its $420.0 million new credit facility to fund checks as they are presented. As of June 30, 2010, the Partnership had approximately $307.4 million of available borrowing capacity under this facility. Changes in drafts payable for the six months ended 2010 and 2009 were as follows (in millions):

	Six Months EndedJune 30,
	2010		2009
Decrease in drafts payable	$	1.6	$	16.5

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements. We had no off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2010.

Capital Requirements of the Partnership. The Partnership’s current 2010 capital spending projection includes approximately $35.0 million of identified growth projects. Although the Partnership may identify more growth projects during 2010, it still does not anticipate that its capital expenditures during 2010 will exceed $100.0 million. During the first half of 2010, growth capital investments were $14.3 million which were funded by internally generated cash flow.

Total Contractual Cash Obligations. A summary of our total contractual cash obligations excluding financial and operating data considered discontinued operations as of June 30, 2010, is as follows (in millions):

	Payments Due by Period
	Total		2010		2011		2012		2013		2014		Thereafter
Long-term debt obligations	$	732.1	$	¾	$	7.1	$	¾	$	¾	$	¾	$	725.0

(1)The senior secured notes began accruing additional interest thereof of 1.25% per annum in February 2009 in the form of an increase in the principal amounts thereof (the “PIK notes”). These notes were paid in full in February 2010.

37

New Credit Facility. As of June 30, 2010, the Partnership had a new bank credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $420.0 million that matures in February 2014. As of June 30, 2010, there was $112.6 million in letters of credit issued and outstanding under the new bank credit facility, leaving approximately $307.4 million available for future borrowing. The new bank credit facility is guaranteed by substantially all of the Partnership’s subsidiaries.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2010, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2010-06, Improving Disclosures about Fair Value Measurements, which amends FASB ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. The ASU requires reporting entities to make new disclosures about recurring or nonrecurring fair-value measurements including significant transfers into and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair-value measurements and information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation of Level 3 fair-value measurements. The ASU also clarifies existing fair-value measurement disclosure guidance about the level of disaggregation, inputs, and valuation techniques. We have evaluated the ASU and determined that we are not currently impacted by the update.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are based on information currently available to management as well as management’s assumptions and beliefs. Statements included in this report which are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. These statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology including “forecast,” “may,” “believe,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue” or other similar words. These statements discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition or state other “forward-looking” information. Such statements reflect our current views with respect to future events based on what we believe are reasonable assumptions; however, such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties. In addition to specific uncertainties discussed elsewhere in this Form 10-Q, the risk factors set forth in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and those set forth in Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this report, if any, may affect our performance and results of operations. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements. We disclaim any intention or obligation to update or review any forward-looking statements or information, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. The Partnership’s primary market risk is the risk related to changes in the prices of natural gas and NGLs. In addition, it is exposed to the risk of changes in interest rates on floating rate debt.

On July 21, 2010, President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (the “Act”) into law, to which one of the areas relates to increased regulation of the markets for derivative products of the type the Partnership uses to manage areas of market risk. While the Commodity Futures Trading Commission has yet to issue regulations to implement this increased regulation, the Act may result in increased costs to the Partnership to implement its market risk management strategy.

Interest Rate Risk

The Partnership is exposed to interest rate risk on its variable rate bank credit facility. At June 30, 2010, the new bank credit facility had no outstanding borrowings.

At June 30, 2010, the Partnership had total fixed rate debt obligations of $717.6 million, consisting of its senior unsecured notes with an interest rate of 8.875% and a series B secured note with an interest rate of 9.5%. The fair value of these fixed rate obligations was approximately $739.3 million as of June 30, 2010. The Partnership estimates that a 1% increase or decrease in interest rates would increase or decrease the fair value of the fixed rate debt (its senior unsecured notes) by $24.4 million based on the debt obligations as of June 30, 2010.

38

Commodity Price Risk

The Partnership is subject to significant risks due to fluctuations in commodity prices. Its exposure to these risks is primarily in the gas processing component of its business. The Partnership currently processes gas under three main types of contractual arrangements:

1.Processing margin contracts: Under this type of contract, the Partnership pays the producer for the full amount of inlet gas to the plant, and makes a margin based on the difference between the value of liquids recovered from the processed natural gas as compared to the value of the natural gas volumes lost (“shrink”) and the cost of fuel used in processing. The shrink and fuel losses are referred to as plant thermal reduction or PTR. The Partnership’s margins from these contracts are high during periods of high liquids prices relative to natural gas prices, and can be negative during periods of high natural gas prices relative to liquids prices. However, the Partnership mitigates its risk of processing natural gas when margins would be negative primarily through its ability to bypass processing when it is not profitable for the Partnership, or by contracts that revert to a minimum fee for processing if the natural gas must be processed to meet pipeline quality specifications.

2.Percent of liquids contracts: Under these contracts, the Partnership receives a fee in the form of a percentage of the liquids recovered, and the producer bears all the cost of the natural gas shrink. Therefore, its margins from these contracts are greater during periods of high liquids prices. The Partnership’s margins from processing cannot become negative under percent of liquids contracts, but do decline during periods of low NGL prices.

3.Fee based contracts: Under these contracts the Partnership has no commodity price exposure, and is paid a fixed fee per unit of volume that is processed.

The gross margin presentation in the table below is calculated net of results from discontinued operations. Gas processing margins by contract types and gathering and transportation margins as a percent of total gross margin for the comparative year-to-date periods are as follows:

	Three Months EndedJune 30,				Six Months EndedJune 30,
	2010		2009		2010		2009
Gathering and transportation margin	63.0	%	69.0	%	61.5	%	69.0	%
Gas processing margins:
Processing margin	14.2	%	8.5	%	13.8	%	6.7	%
Percent of liquids	7.9	%	10.4	%	11.1	%	12.8	%

Total	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%

The Partnership has hedges in place at June 30, 2010 covering a portion of the liquids volumes it expects to receive under percent of liquids (POL) contracts as set forth in the following table. The relevant payment index price is the monthly average of the daily closing price for deliveries of commodities into Mont Belvieu, Texas as reported by the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS).

The Partnership has hedged its exposure to declines in prices for NGL volumes produced for its account. The NGL volumes hedged, as set forth above, focus on POL contracts. The Partnership hedges POL exposure based on volumes considered hedgeable (volumes committed under contracts that are long term in nature) versus total POL volumes that include volumes that may fluctuate due to contractual terms, such as contracts with month to month processing options. The Partnership hedged 48.7% of its hedgeable volumes at risk through December 2010 (22.4% of total volumes at risk through December 2010). The Partnership has begun hedging its POL exposure for 2011 as set forth above.

The Partnership also has hedges in place at June 30, 2010 covering the fractionation spread risk related to its processing margin contracts as set forth in the following table:

Period	Underlying	NotionalVolume	ThePartnership Pays	The PartnershipReceives*	Fair ValueAsset/(Liability)

					$	188

*weighted average

In relation to its fractionation spread risk, as set forth above, the Partnership has hedged 45.1% of its hedgeable liquids volumes at risk through December 2010 (19.6% of total liquids volumes at risk) and 45.1% of the related hedgeable PTR volumes through December 2010 (20.1% of total PTR volumes). The Partnership has begun hedging its fractionation spread risk for 2011 as set forth above.

The Partnership is also subject to price risk to a lesser extent for fluctuations in natural gas prices with respect to a portion of its gathering and transport services. Approximately 9.0% of the natural gas the Partnership markets is purchased at a percentage of the relevant natural gas index price, as opposed to a fixed discount to that price.

Another price risk the Partnership faces is the risk of mismatching volumes of gas bought or sold on a monthly price versus volumes bought or sold on a daily price. The Partnership enters each month with a balanced book of natural gas bought and sold on the same basis. However, it is normal to experience fluctuations in the volumes of natural gas bought or sold under either basis, which leaves the Partnership with short or long positions that must be covered. The Partnership uses financial swaps to mitigate the exposure at the time it is created to maintain a balanced position.

The Partnership’s primary commodity risk management objective is to reduce volatility in its cash flows. The Partnership maintains a risk management committee, including members of senior management, which oversees all hedging activity. The Partnership enters into hedges for natural gas and NGLs using over-the-counter derivative

40

financial instruments with only certain well-capitalized counterparties which have been approved by its risk management committee.

The use of financial instruments may expose the Partnership to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances, including instances when (1) sales volumes are less than expected requiring market purchases to meet commitments or (2) counterparties fail to purchase the contracted quantities of natural gas or otherwise fail to perform. To the extent that the Partnership engages in hedging activities it may be prevented from realizing the benefits of favorable price changes in the physical market. However, the Partnership is similarly insulated against unfavorable changes in such prices.

As of June 30, 2010, outstanding natural gas swap agreements, NGL swap agreements, swing swap agreements, storage swap agreements and other derivative instruments were a net fair value asset of less than $0.1 million. The aggregate effect of a hypothetical 10% increase in gas and NGL prices would result in a decrease of approximately $0.9 million in the net fair value asset of these contracts as of June 30, 2010, to a net fair value liability of approximately $0.8 million.
