NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNER AND GENERAL PARTNER INTEREST

In February 2011, the board of directors of Enbridge Energy Management, L.L.C., or Enbridge Management, as delegate of our General Partner, approved a split of our units to be effected by a distribution on April 21, 2011 of one common unit for each common unit outstanding and one i-unit for each i-unit outstanding to unit holders of record on April 7, 2011. As a result of this unit split, we have retrospectively restated the computation of our “Net income per limited partner unit (basic and diluted)” in the table below to present the current and prior year amounts on a split-adjusted basis. Additionally, the formula for distributing available cash among our General Partner and limited partners was revised to take effect of this unit split, as set forth in our partnership agreement, as amended, and is presented below.

Distribution Targets	Portion of Quarterly Distribution Per Unit	Percentage Distributed to General Partner	Percentage Distributed to Limited partners
Minimum Quarterly Distribution	Up to $0.295	2%	98%
First Target Distribution	> $0.295 to $0.35	15%	85%
Second Target Distribution	> $0.35 to $0.495	25%	75%
Over Second Target Distribution	In excess of $0.495	50%	50%

We allocate our net income among our general partner and limited partners using the two-class method in accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance. Under the two-class method, we allocate our net income, including any incentive distribution rights, or IDRs, embedded in the general partner interest, to our general partner, Enbridge Energy Company, Inc. and our limited partners according to the distribution formula for available cash as set forth in our partnership agreement. We also allocate any earnings in excess of distributions to our general partner and limited partners utilizing the distribution formula for available cash specified in our partnership agreement. We allocate any distributions in excess of earnings for the period to our general partner and limited partners based on their sharing of losses of 2% and 98%, respectively, as set forth in our partnership agreement.

We determined net income per limited partner unit as follows:

	For the three month period ended March 31,
	2011			2010
	(in millions, except per unit amounts)
Net income	$	131.8		$	126.1
Less: Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest		14.7			10.7
Net income attributable to general and limited partner interests in Enbridge Energy Partners, L.P.		117.1			115.4
Less distributions paid:
Incentive distributions to our general partner		(18.4	)		(14.2	)
Distributed earnings allocated to our general partner		(2.7	)		(2.4	)
Total distributed earnings to our general partner		(21.1	)		(16.6	)
Total distributed earnings to our limited partners		(130.9	)		(118.3	)
Total distributed earnings		(152.0	)		(134.9	)
Overdistributed earnings	$	(34.9	)	$	(19.5	)
Weighted average limited partner units outstanding		252.8			235.8
Basic and diluted earnings per unit:
Distributed earnings per limited partner unit(1)	$	0.52		$	0.50
Overdistributed earnings per limited partner unit(2)		(0.14	)		(0.08	)
Net income per limited partner unit (basic and diluted)	$	0.38		$	0.42

⁽¹⁾  Represents the total distributed earnings to limited partners divided by the weighted average number of limited partner interests outstanding for the period.

⁽²⁾  Represents the limited partners’ share (98%) of distributions in excess of earnings divided by the weighted average number of limited partner interests outstanding for the period and underdistributed earnings allocated to the limited partners based on the distribution waterfall that is outlined in our partnership agreement.

SEGMENT INFORMATION

Our business is divided into operating segments, defined as components of the enterprise, about which financial information is available and evaluated regularly by our Chief Operating Decision Maker in deciding how resources are allocated and performance is assessed.

Each of our reportable segments is a business unit that offers different services and products that is managed separately, since each business segment requires different operating strategies. We have segregated our business activities into three distinct operating segments: Liquids, Natural Gas, and Marketing.

The following tables present financial information about our business segments and corporate activities:
