NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNER UNIT

We allocate our net income among our Series 1 Preferred Units, or Preferred Units, Enbridge Energy Company, Inc., our General Partner, and our limited partners using the two-class method in accordance with applicable authoritative accounting guidance. Under the two-class method, we allocate our net income attributable to our general and limited partner interests to our General Partner 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, after Preferred Unit allocations, based on their sharing of losses of 2% and 98%, respectively, as set forth in our partnership agreement. Until July 1, 2014, we allocated the distributions to the General Partner and limited partners as follows:

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	%

Equity Restructuring Transaction

On July 1, 2014, we entered into an equity restructuring transaction, or Equity Restructuring, with the General Partner in which the General Partner irrevocably waived its right to receive cash distributions and allocations of items of income, gain, deduction and loss in excess of 2% in respect of its general partner interest in the incentive distribution rights, or Previous IDRs, in exchange for the issuance to a wholly-owned subsidiary of the General Partner of (i) 66.1 million units of a new class of limited partner interests designated as Class D units, and (ii) 1,000 units of a new class of limited partner interests designated as Incentive Distribution Units, or IDUs.

Beginning July 1, 2014, as established by our amended and restated partnership agreement, we calculate distributions to the General Partner and limited partners based upon the distribution rates and percentages set forth in the following table:

Distribution Targets	Portion of Quarterly Distribution Per Unit	Percentage Distributed to General Partner and IDUs(1)			Percentage Distributed to Limited partners
Minimum Quarterly Distribution	Up to $0.5345		2	%		98	%
First Target Distribution	> $0.5345		25	%		75	%

⁽¹⁾  For distributions in excess of the Minimum Quarterly Distribution, this percentage includes both the General Partner’s distributions of 2% and the distribution to the Incentive Distribution Unit holder, a wholly-owned subsidiary of our General Partner.

We determined basic and diluted net income (loss) per limited partner unit as follows:

⁽³⁾  For the three month period ended September 30, 2014, 43,201,310 anti-dilutive Preferred Units and 66,100,000 anti-dilutive Class D units were excluded from the if-converted method of calculating diluted earnings per unit. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, 43,201,310 anti-dilutive Preferred Units and 22,275,458 anti-dilutive Class D units were excluded from the if-converted method of calculating diluted earnings per unit.

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, collectively comprised of our senior management, 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, because each business segment requires different operating strategies. We have segregated our business activities into two distinct operating segments:

• Liquids; and

• Natural Gas.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Partnership changed its reporting segments. The Marketing segment was combined with the Natural Gas segment to form one new segment called “Natural Gas”. There was no change to the Liquids segment.

This change was a result of the reorganization of EEP resulting from MEP’s IPO which prompted Management to reassess the presentation of EEP’s reportable segments considering the financial information available and evaluated regularly by EEP’s Chief Operating Decision Maker. The new segment is consistent with how management makes resource allocation decisions, evaluates performance, and furthers the achievement of the Partnership’s long-term objectives. Financial information for the prior periods has been restated to reflect the change in reporting segments.

The following tables present certain financial information relating to our business segments and corporate activities:
