__________________
(1)
As discussed in Note 1, the Partnership’s investment in HPC was adjusted to its fair value on May 26, 2010 and the excess fair value over net book value was comprised of two components: (1) $155 million was attributed to HPC’s long-lived assets and is being amortized as a reduction of income from unconsolidated affiliates over the useful lives of the respective assets, which vary from 15 to 30 years, and (2) $32 million could not be attributed to a specific asset and therefore will not be amortized in future periods.
(2)
In September 2011, the Partnership purchased an additional 0.1% interest in MEP from ETP for $1 million in cash, bringing the total membership interest to 50%.
(3)
For the period from initial contribution, May 2, 2011, to December 31, 2011.
N/A
The Partnership acquired a 33.33% membership interest in Ranch JV in December 2011, a 30% interest in Lone Star in May 2011 and a 49.9% interest in MEP in May 2010.
