Phantom units are considered participating securities for purposes of computing basic earnings per unit. See Note 13 for information regarding phantom units. 
(2)
We use the “if-converted method” to determine the potential dilutive effect of the vesting of phantom unit awards and the conversion of preferred units outstanding.  See Note 8 for information regarding preferred units.
