today reported results for the third quarter of 2006.

    Hiland Partners, LP Financial Results

    Hiland Partners, LP reported quarterly net income for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 of $3.7 million compared to net income of $2.7 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of 39%. Net income per
limited partner unit-basic for the third quarter of 2006 was $0.33 per unit
compared to net income of $0.38 per unit in the corresponding quarter in 2005.
Weighted average limited partner units outstanding for the three months ended
September 30, 2006 was 9.2 million units compared to 6.8 million units for the
three months ended September 30, 2005. EBITDA (EBITDA is defined as net income
plus interest expense, provisions for income taxes and depreciation,
amortization and accretion expense) for the three months ended September 30,
2006 was $11.8 million compared to $6.3 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2005, an increase of 88%. Total segment margin for the three
months ended September 30, 2006 was $17.7 million compared to $8.6 million for
the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of 105%. The increases
are primarily attributable to the inclusion of the results of operations from
the acquisition of Hiland Partners, LLC (the Bakken gathering system) effective
September 1, 2005 and the acquisition of the Kinta Area gathering assets
effective May 1, 2006.

    For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2006, Hiland Partners, LP
reported net income of $11.1 million compared to net income of $6.2 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of 79%. Net income per
limited partner unit-basic for the nine months ended September 30, 2006

partner units outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was 8.9
million units compared to 6.8 million units for the nine months ended September
30, 2005. EBITDA for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $30.9 million
compared to $14.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an
increase of 117%. Total segment margin for the nine months ended September 30,
2006 was $45.5 million compared to $20.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005, an increase of 119%. The increases are primarily
attributable to the inclusion of the results of operations from the assets
acquired from Hiland Partners, LLC (the Worland gathering system and compression
assets) as part of our initial public offering on February 15, 2005, the
acquisition of Hiland Partners, LLC (the Bakken gathering system) effective
September 1, 2005 and the acquisition of the Kinta Area gathering assets
effective May 1, 2006.

    Our financial results for the quarter ended and nine months ended September
30, 2006 include the acquisition of the membership interests of Hiland Partners,
LLC (the Bakken gathering system) effective on September 1, 2005 and the
acquisition of the Kinta Area gathering assets effective May 1, 2006. The
results of operations for the quarter ended and nine months ended September 30,
2005 include the financial results of Continental Gas, Inc. (our predecessor)
through February 14, 2005 and the results of operations of Hiland Partners, LP
for the period from February 15, 2005, the date Hiland Partners, LP commenced
operations. As a result, our results of operations are not comparable on a
period-to-period basis.

    "We are pleased with our third quarter results, which include a full quarter
of operations attributable to our Kinta Area acquisition," said Randy Moeder,
President and Chief Executive Officer. "During 2006, we have steadily increased
our distributions to unitholders while funding various expansion projects,
including our new Badlands and Matli Processing Plants. As we look forward to
next year, we expect to realize the additional cash flows stemming from the
completion of our previously announced expansion projects."



    On October 24, 2006, Hiland Partners, LP announced an increase in its cash
distribution for the third quarter of 2006. The declared quarterly distributions
on Hiland Partners, LP's common and subordinated units increased to $0.70 per
unit (an annualized rate of $2.80 per unit) from $0.675 per unit (an annualized
rate of $2.70 per unit) for the second quarter of 2006. This distribution will
be payable on November 14, 2006 to unitholders of record on November 6, 2006.

    Hiland Holdings GP, LP Financial Results

predecessor entity and its contributing parties.

    Hiland Holdings GP, LP, including its predecessor, Hiland Partners GP, LLC,

    Hiland Holdings GP, LP's share of distributions, including distributions on
its 5,381,471 limited partner units, its two percent general partner interest,
and the incentive distributions rights, was approximately $4.6 million for the
third quarter. Of this amount, approximately $4.3 million relates to periods
prior to the closing of the initial public offering and will be distributed
entirely to the contributing parties. On October 24, 2006, Hiland Holdings GP,

    We view total segment margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, as an important
performance measure of the core profitability of our operations. We review total
segment margin monthly for consistency and trend analysis. We define midstream
segment margin as midstream revenue less midstream purchases. Midstream
purchases include the following costs and expenses: cost of natural gas and NGLs
purchased by us from third parties, cost of natural gas and NGLs purchased by us
from affiliates, and cost of crude oil purchased by us from third parties. We
define compression segment margin as the revenue derived from our compression
segment.



    (C) We define EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income plus
        interest expense, provisions for income taxes and depreciation,
        amortization and accretion expense. EBITDA is used as a supplemental
        financial measure by our management and by external users of our
        financial statements such as investors, commercial banks, research
        analysts and others to assess: (1) the financial performance of our
        assets without regard to financial methods, capital structure or
        historical cost basis; (2) the ability of our assets to generate cash
        sufficient to pay interest costs and support our indebtedness; (3) our
        operating performance and return on capital as compared to those of
        other companies in the midstream energy sector, without regard to
        financing or structure; and (4) the viability of acquisitions and
        capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on
        alternative investment opportunities. EBITDA is also a financial
        measurement that, with certain negotiated adjustments, is reported to
        our banks and is used as a gauge for compliance with our financial
        covenants under our credit facility. EBITDA should not be considered as
        an alternative to net income, operating income, cash flows from
        operating activities or any other measures of financial performance
        presented in accordance with GAAP. Our EBITDA may not be comparable to
        EBITDA of similarly titled measures of other entities, as other entities
        may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as we do.

    (D) Natural gas gathered for fee (MMBtu/d) represents natural gas volumes
        gathered associated with the Kinta Area gas gathering assets we acquired
        on May 1, 2006 in which we do not take title to the gas.

    (E) Amounts presented in the Hiland Partners, LP column include only the
        activity for the period beginning on February 15, 2005. These amounts
        include the operations of the Worland gathering system and compression
        assets acquired from Hiland Partners, LLC at the completion of our
        initial public offering.

    (F) Amounts presented in the Predecessor column include only the activity of
        Continental Gas, Inc. for the period prior to the formation of Hiland
        Partners, LP on February 15, 2005.

    (G) Total income and expense items included in the Consolidated Statements
        of Operations and our predecessor will be included in our second quarter
        2006 10-Q.

    We view total segment margin, a non-GAAP financial measure, as an important
performance measure of the core profitability of our operations. We review total
segment margin monthly for consistency and trend analysis. We define midstream
segment margin as midstream revenue less midstream purchases. Midstream
purchases include the following costs and expenses: cost of natural gas and NGLs
purchased by us from third parties, cost of natural gas and NGLs purchased by us
from affiliates, and cost of crude oil purchased by us from third parties. We
define compression segment margin as the revenue derived from our compression
segment.
