Situation Overview


 

Introduction Scope of Work Barclays Capital has been mandated by the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Conflicts Committee") of Hiland Partners GP Holdings, LLC to provide financial advisory services in connection with the potential transaction between Mr. Harold Hamm and certain affiliates and Hiland Holdings GP, LP (the "Partnership", "HPGP" or the "GP of HLND") The transaction proposed by the purchasers involves the acquisition of all the outstanding common units of HPGP not owned by the purchasers for $3.20 in cash per unit The offer is conditioned on the successful acquisition by the purchasers of all the outstanding common units of Hiland Partners, LP ("HLND" or the "MLP") not already owned by HPGP for $9.50 in cash per common unit There are various considerations the Conflicts Committee must examine with regards to the offer for HPGP, including: General economic conditions, sector specific conditions and current capital market conditions (both credit and equity) The underlying condition and prospects of the assets held by HLND (which ultimately drive the prospects of HPGP) The potential of the HLND assets to generate future cash distributions to HPGP (i.e., those distributions attributable to both the HLND limited partner units owned by HPGP and the HLND general partner interest / incentive distribution rights) The impact of certain credit covenants relating to HLND's outstanding borrowings The potential for other attractive strategic alternatives (such as competing acquisition proposals, capital raises or other alternatives) In this presentation, we review the offers; examine current and expected market conditions, both industry-wide and in the capital markets; assess selected strategic alternatives, including various methods of financing and M&A alternatives; and provide a preliminary valuation analysis of HLND and HPGP Throughout this presentation, we have focused on the merits of the HPGP offer. However, given the significant ownership of HLND units by HPGP, we have also examined the HLND offer insofar as it impacts the HPGP offer Situation Overview 2


 

Organizational Structure Relationship Between Parties Involved Hiland Holdings GP, LP HPGP's cash generating assets consist of its ownership interests in HLND: 100% ownership interest of the 2% general partner interest in HLND 2,321,471 common units and 3,060,000 subordinated units of HLND The incentive distribution rights in HLND, which entitle HPGP to receive increasing percentages of cash distributed by HLND above certain levels Hiland Partners, LP Midstream assets consist of: 14 natural gas gathering systems Approximately 2,111 miles of gas gathering pipelines Five natural gas processing plants Seven natural gas treating facilities Three NGL fractionation facilities Compression assets consist of two air compression facilities and a water injection plant Harold Hamm and Affiliates 61% LP interest in HPGP Non-economic, controlling GP interest in HPGP through 100% ownership of Hiland Partners GP Holding, LLC Description of Entity / Assets Held Current Ownership Structure Public (3,967,784 Common Units) Hiland Holdings GP, LP (2,321,471 Common Units 3,060,000 Sub Units) (NASDAQ: HPGP) Hiland Partners GP, LLC (2% GP Interest, IDR's) Hiland Partners, LP (NASDAQ: HLND) 100% 0% GP Interest 61% LP Interest 39% LP Interest 100% Interest 2% GP Interest 42% LP Interest 56% LP Interest Hiland Partners GP Holding, LLC Harold Hamm & Affiliates (13,138,052 HPGP Common Units) Public (8,469,448 HPGP Common Units) ___________________________ Assumes strip pricing and suspension of distributions in 2009.

Offer to Acquire Minority Interest in Both HPGP and HLND Situation Overview Summary of Proposal On January 15, 2009, Mr. Hamm concurrently delivered letters to the Board of Directors of HPGP and HLND setting forth a proposal by which he (and certain affiliates) would acquire all of the common units of HPGP (not already owned by himself) and those of HLND not owned by HPGP Offer of $3.20 / per HPGP unit Offer of $9.50 / per HLND unit Each proposal (HPGP and HLND) is conditioned upon the other and expected to require the approval of a majority of the public unitholders of each partnership Mr. Hamm also stated that he has no intention of selling his units Neither of the proposals contain a financing contingency Successful execution of both offers would result in the Purchasers owning 100% of both HPGP and HLND Summary of Proposal Total Equity Value of Offer Offer Premia 4


 

Implied Value of HPGP's GP Interest in HLND Situation Overview Summary of Proposal Assuming HLND Offer Price Assuming HLND Current Price The value of the general partner interest imbedded in HPGP (which value is derived from cash flows attributable to HPGP's ownership of not only the GP interest, but also the incentive distribution rights in HLND) can vary significantly depending on the value ascribed to the HLND common and subordinated units 5

Analyst Reaction Commentary has been generally favorable to the offer given expected outlook on fundamentals Firm / Analyst Ratings / Risk HLND Target Price Selected Commentary Raymond James/ Darren Horowitz Market Perform/ NA Market Perform/ NA N/A "Given our expectations for the challenging gathering and processing fundamentals to continue, coupled with the lack of cash flow visibility as HLND has no material hedges on its 2009 NGL production, drastic measures needed to be taken to avoid the potential for a substantial distribution cut and/or a restructuring/recapitalizing event. Thus, this proposed transaction provides an option to maximize remaining unitholder value, without subjecting unitholders to dilutive restructuring scenarios." (1/15/09) RBC/ Mark Easterbrook Sector Perform/ Speculative Risk Sector Perform/ Speculative Risk $11.00 "At this point, assuming continued weakness in the commodity prices, namely NGL prices, we do not see a new player materializing to help with HLND's current situation, and given Mr. Hamm's control of the GP there would be little incentive for someone other than Mr. Hamm to take a new equity stake here as they would not achieve any sort of controlling interest." "The weakness in commodity prices has led to HLND's nearing a violation of its debt covenants. At this point, based on our EBITDA estimates, we expect it to violate the 4.75x threshold in the 1Q/09. This could result in a reduction or suspension of distributions at the partnership. We do not see the partnership as having the ability to issue additional equity at this time to help bring the ratio back into line." (1/16/09) Morgan Keegan/ John Edwards NA / NA NA / NA N/A "Hiland Partners (HLND) announced yesterday its intention to cut its distribution by $0.43 to $0.45/unit ($1.80 ann.), a 49% reduction. We had forecast a much larger distribution cut to a token $0.05 as we believe that HLND is still in danger of violating its debt covenants." (1/27/09) Research Analyst Commentary - HLND Firm / Analyst Ratings / Risk HPGP Target Price Selected Commentary Raymond James/ Darren Horowitz Market Perform/ NA Market Perform/ NA N/A "We think the proposal by the Chairman of the Board to purchase HPGP units offers an option to preserve value. Based on our lack of visibility in the timing/magnitude of a recovery in a commodity-driven business model coupled with Hiland Partners' onerous debt position and tight financial covenants, we maintain our cautious outlook and Market Perform."

Commodity Industry Overview


 

In the past six to eight months, commodity prices have fallen from 10-year highs to levels at or below the 10-year average Crude: From $145+ to $37+ Natural Gas: From $13+ to $4.50+ NGLS: From $80 / bbl to $20+ / bbl Frac spreads became negative in late 2008 for the first time in 3 years Economic collapse has resulted in, among other things, a dramatic reduction in consumer and industrial demand for crude, natural gas and NGLS US rig count at ~1,300 is down ~ 25% from year-prior levels Gas-directed rigs at ~1,000, down 29% Oil rigs at ~280, down 17% Directional rigs down ~ 30% Horizontal rigs up 10% Debt and equity markets were essentially closed in the second half of 2008 Discrete windows of access for selected issuers at much higher costs Much less tolerance for leverage Supply & Demand Trends Financing Markets Commodity Prices Current Industry Themes Factors Impacting Upstream and Midstream Sectors Commodity Industry Overview 10


 

North America Market Imbalance Expected to Continue Through Much of 2009 Commodity Industry Overview Declining commodity prices and the continued dislocation in the global credit market have resulted in a 25% or greater decline in North American spending in 2009, though spending outside of North America is expected to stay relatively flat Certain gas-focused U.S. Independents have revised their 2009 capex budgets downward even further: Natural gas prices may continue to deteriorate Above average volumes in storage Completion of facility repairs related to hurricane damage are likely to add another 4 Bcf/d of production LNG imports are expected to increase in 2009 as more liquefaction and shipping capacity comes on-line, foreign markets have adequate inventories Continued production volume growth during 2009 despite ~25% reductions in E&P budgets Weak natural gas demand With the expected prolonged weakness in prices, drilling activity is likely to continue declining into 2010 Storage overhang unlikely to be worked off until mid-2010 Barclays Capital expects prices to rebound in the second half of 2010 Natural Gas Market is Over-Supplied 11


 

Oversupplied...But Showing Recent Positive Signs Commodity Industry Overview Crude and product inventories have dramatically increased above the five-year average - overall build is ~50 million barrels Imports have decreased over the past few weeks Gasoline demand staying strong, despite economic slowdown Jet fuel inventories continue to build Oil drilling activity off significantly Rig count at 3-year low of under ~280 rigs Total oil drilling is ~20% lower than year ago levels Recent activity in the Bakken oil shale has been significantly curtailed due to falling oil prices and widening basis differentials Continental Resources, among others, has reduced its rig count in the area as follows: North Dakota Bakken: Currently running 4 rigs vs. 10 rigs at the beginning of Q4 2008 Montana Bakken: Currently running 0 rigs vs. 5 rigs at the beginning of Q4 2008 US Crude Oil Markets 12

Strategic Alternatives


 

Best debt alternative, despite challenging market for amendments Banks seeking to reduce exposure and mark pricing to market Recent amendments averaged a ~50 bps up-front fee and a ~300 bps spread increase Likely to require eliminations of distributions and reduced growth capital expenditures until HLND attains covenant compliance Short-dated maturity (May 2011) will still need to be addressed in the near term Very challenging market to raise new capital If Hiland could access the market, the cost would be extremely expensive Would likely need to go beyond existing "relationship" banks; facility capacity may be reduced Less restrictive, incurrence-based covenants Minimum ratings threshold to access market HLND's credit quality and comparable company yields indicate that HLND would likely not be able to access the market Amendment required Potential for less restrictive covenants Limitation on size; $150mm for any one transaction Most expensive debt capital; mezzanine investors target a return of approximately 20%; comprised of ~15% interest plus equity upside (warrants, equity co-invest) Amendment required De-levering transaction to HLND Significant dilution to current L.P. unitholders Not likely a viable option as bank lenders have little or no interest in owning equity De-levering transaction to HLND Provide disproportionate benefit to public L.P. unitholders Would require an outright "gift" by Harold Hamm Not supported by return analysis New Bank Credit Facility High Yield Bond Mezzanine Financing Debt-for-Equity Exchange Credit Facility Amendment / Waiver Strategic Alternatives Debt Alternatives Strategic Alternatives Commentary Harold Hamm Direct Debt Paydown 36

Nearly All Debt-Related Strategic Initiatives Will Necessitate an Amendment to the Credit Facility Given HLND's financial projections, the MLP is expected to breach its Maximum Leverage Ratio (4.0x Debt / Trailing 12 Months EBITDA) for Q1 2009, although the election of a "Specified Acquisition" can provide nine months of temporary relief (step up to 4.75x leverage) Further, HLND will violate the temporarily higher covenant level in Q2 2009 Accordingly, HLND will need to approach its lenders to seek financial maintenance covenant relief Of note, the financial projections suggest that the MLP will remain in breach of the Maximum Leverage Ratio for an extended period of time, spiking as high as 7.0x in 2009 Although the adverse developments in HLND's credit profile will be disconcerting to lenders, we believe a covenant amendment may be possible The likely success of the amendment process will be underpinned by the (i) narrow breadth of the lender group, (ii) nature of its constituents and (iii) amendment required Nine person lender group, consisting of "friends and family" commercial / universal banks Amendment of the Maximum Leverage Ratio will only necessitate support from the Required Lenders (>50%), rather than lenders representing 100% of the outstandings/commitments While it is difficult to predict the ultimate response of lenders to the requested covenant relief without engaging them directly, based on our analysis of recent amendment activity, we believe a package of concessions as follows may be sufficient: Amendment fee of 25 bps - 50 bps Increase pricing to L+425 bps - L+525 bps (no LIBOR floor) Additionally, we believe lenders will require the elimination of distributions until Hiland is compliant Credit Facility Amendment Considerations Strategic Alternatives 38


 

Current Market Conditions and Expected Ratings Profile May Preclude Hiland From Access to the High Yield Market Strategic Alternatives High Yield New Issue Considerations Access to the high yield market continues to be characterized by "haves" and "have nots" While some of the larger, integrated energy companies and E&P names have tapped the market, few issuers outside these segments have access We believe that HLND's credit metrics, deteriorating financial profile and unhedged position would be viewed negatively by both the rating agencies and the high yield investor universe Comparable high yield issuers, including MarkWest, Regency, and Atlas, all have considerably more favorable 2009E credit metrics than HLND All three companies have benchmark issues outstanding which yield north of 14%; at these levels, these issuers do not have access to the new issue market As such, we do not believe that a high yield issuance is a viable alternative for HLND Commentary Selected High Yield Comparables 39

Raising $125 million of public common equity to repay debt in order to be in compliance with HLND's bank covenants would be prohibitively dilutive (in excess of 50%) $125 million is nearly twice HLND's current market value and more than four times the current public float This would make marketing the common offering to the public near impossible at any price that would work for the partnership MLP investors will want to price the offering based on the pro forma distribution The dilution would put the subordinated units further under water (with significant arrearages to the common) and make the incentive distribution rights harder to obtain in the future Could provide relief for covenant issues Given perceived "distress" of Hiland, buyer interest in a large equity block is unlikely (distribution and exit would be unclear) A private investment would be more expensive than the public alternative Required returns would rest on uncertain exit value / timing Return expectations in the 25% - 30% range Likely that investors would want to be elevated in the capital structure (i.e. preferred), putting common and subordinated unitholders at a disadvantage Deferred cash pay or PIKing options possible, but would be costly Intended to maintain covenant compliance and structured to avoid common unit arrearages Class B-type security receives distributions only when common units receive MQD Mr. Hamm receives 100% of cash flows in excess of MQD until investment is repaid Mr. Hamm's returns depend on commodity price rebound, but this scenario may be appealing to Mr. Hamm However, this scenario would effectively limit HLND and HPGP to minimum quarterly distributions for the foreseeable future Would likely require unitholder vote at HPGP and possibly HLND Harold Hamm Structured Equity Investment Public Equity Issuance Private Investment by Third Party Strategic Alternatives Equity Alternatives Strategic Alternatives Considerations 42

M&A Alternatives In order to analyze the value of Hiland from a 3rd party's perspective, we have performed an analysis of the pro forma impact of an acquisition of Hiland by selected potential MLP buyers We have assumed the acquisition of HPGP and HLND for a combined purchase amount ranging from $250 - $450 million (implying ~ 6.2x - 11.2x 2009E EBITDA per management case) Current offer is valued at ~$362 million (when valuing HLND and HPGP at the $9.50 / $3.20 unit offer prices) We have targeted achieving pro forma breakeven distributable cash flow in 2009 and 2010 based on Hiland's management case estimates (most buyers would demand at least 5% accretion) We assume that each potential MLP buyer finances the purchase of Hiland with 50% cash and 50% equity Assumes equity issued at buyer's closing unit price as of February 26, 2009 Assumes long-term cost of debt of 15% We have also evaluated Continental's ability to acquire HLND / HPGP In this case, we have targeted breakeven accretion to earnings per share Sale of Hiland to a 3rd Party Strategic Alternatives 46

Financial Overview of Hiland


 

Summary Financial Projection Considerations Financial Overview of Hiland Hiland Financial Projections Management of Hiland provided Barclays Capital with a financial and operating model of Hiland's business Barclays has relied on Management's model and has analyzed certain sensitivities Variations in commodity prices significantly impact Hiland's cash flow generation and subsequently its ability to pay distributions at both the HLND level and the HPGP level Management assumes NYMEX quoted forward pricing as its base case for oil and gas prices, and currently quoted NGL prices in 2009 and 2010 (12 month historical NGL/crude oil correlations are used to derive prices in 2011 - 2013) Barclays has run an upside sensitivity where we assume a NYMEX oil price of $80.00 per barrel and a NYMEX natural gas price of $8.00 per million British Thermal Units (both beginning in Q3 2009) and NGL prices based on 12 month historical correlations Commodity prices also affect producers' willingness to spend drilling capital, which can affect Hiland's inlet throughput volumes Barclays has examined the effects of both an increase and decrease in Hiland's volumes Additionally, Barclays has adjusted certain distribution assumptions in relation to contemplated strategic alternatives HLND currently faces a situation whereby it could be in violation of certain debt covenants contained in its existing revolving credit facility Some form of amendment to the credit facility or other alternative will be required in order for HLND to stay compliant Depending on the alternative examined, Barclays has estimated the level of distributions that could be paid by HLND and HPGP 50

Summary of Financial Projection Cases Hiland Financial Projections Barclays has analyzed several financial cases based on the pursuit of varying alternatives Financial Overview of Hiland This case is a hypothetical case that analyzes Hiland as if it did not need to comply with its bank covenants For this scenario to be available, Hiland's existing bank group would need to waive covenant compliance for no fee or increase in interest cost (which is highly unlikely) Assumes that HLND would continue to make distributions In this scenario, Barclays examines Hiland assuming that it can renegotiate its existing credit facility with its current bank group We have assumed a 30 basis point upfront fee as well as an incremental 250 basis point increase in interest costs (could be significantly higher) This case only allows distributions to the extent that Hiland is in compliance with its 4.0x debt to EBITDA covenant This scenario assumes that Harold Hamm would invest $125 million into Hiland for the purposes of paying down the existing credit facility to a level that would be in compliance with the 4.0x debt to EBITDA covenant This case assumes that this private investment would be subordinated to both the existing common and subordinated units of HLND and would only receive distributions in the event that HLND paid a cash distribution above the minimum quarterly distribution All distributions above the MQD would be for the benefit of this private security until the cumulative distributions to the private security totaled $125 million Renegotiate Credit Facility Private Investment by Harold Hamm Status Quo / No Covenant Issues 56

Summary Valuation Considerations Summary Valuation Analysis Summary Valuation Analysis The economic assets of HPGP are; i) 2,321,471 common limited partner units of HLND, ii) 3,060,000 subordinated limited partner units of HLND, and iii) the 2% general partner interest and the related incentive distribution rights associated with the general partner of HLND The valuation of HPGP is therefore completely dependent on HLND and HLND's underlying asset performance Additionally, given the characteristics and investor expectations of publicly traded general partners and publicly traded master limited partnerships, the valuation of these entities are highly dependent on cash distributions to the unitholders This is particularly true of general partners that do not have any other cash generating assets as they do not have access to cash flow when the underlying MLP does not pay distributions In scenarios where HLND cuts distributions substantially or is unable to make distributions, and accordingly HPGP receives reduced or no cash flow, valuations of both entities will be significantly depressed This impact is potentially magnified at HPGP due to its holdings of subordinated units in HLND (which do not get paid unless the minimum quarterly distribution is paid in full to the common units) HLND's partnership agreement requires MQD payments for three consecutive, non-overlapping four quarter periods to meet the subordination conversion test; therefore, any MQD non-payment would reset the test period Additionally, when distributions are lowered to or below the MQD, HPGP will not be able to receive any distributions related to the incentive distribution rights In this section Barclays Capital analyzed a preliminary valuation of HPGP using a sum-of-parts approach (valuing both its limited partner interest in HLND and its general partner interest in HLND) Traditional MLP valuation techniques become less applicable when a partnership experiences distress and its ability to maintain steady distributions is in question Accordingly, Barclays Capital utilized both standard and alternative valuation techniques 59


 

Summary of Valuation Methodologies For the purpose of our preliminary valuation analysis, we have used the following methodologies for both HPGP's limited partner interests in HLND and its general partner interests in HLND Summary Valuation Analysis In scenarios where the Hiland companies are able to pay distributions Barclays Capital has performed a discounted cash flow analysis For our discount rates, we have used a WACC range of 17.5% - 22.5% for the common unit cash flows, 20% - 25% for the subordinated cash flows and 25% - 30% for the GP cash flows In calculating a terminal value, we have used a perpetuity growth rate of 0% - 1% for the Common and Subordinated Units and 0% - 2% for the GP cash flows For HLND we have looked at comparable gathering and processing MLPs including Atlas Pipeline Partners, Copano Energy, Crosstex Energy, DCP Midstream, Markwest Energy, Regency, Targa Resources and Williams Partners For HPGP we have looked at publicly traded general partners HLND comparables include recent transactions involving gathering and processing companies, as well as the broader MLP space HPGP comparables include recent transactions involving general partner transactions When the Hiland companies are unable to pay distributions, traditional MLP valuation analyses such as those listed above are less meaningful In order to address these situations we have performed a net asset valuation of Hiland's underlying assets using both comparable asset transactions and an asset discounted cash flow analysis Comparable Company Analysis Comparable Transaction Analysis Discounted Cash Flow ("DCF") Analysis Net Asset Value Analysis 60

Credit Ratings Profile


 

HLND Would Likely Receive Ratings In The Low Single B Range From Moody's and S&P Credit Ratings Profile Credit Ratings Profile We believe Hiland's implied ratings profile is low single B The agencies currently focus on the following factors in the G&P space: Volumes - adequacy of volumes given widescale E&P budget retrenchment Commodity prices - implications of enduring low gas price and weak product price environment Adequacy and availability of liquidity, with particular emphasis on (i) operating cash flow, (ii) cash balance, (iii) revolver capacity / availability and (iv) maturity profile (focus on immediate maturities) The agencies will also focus on covenant headroom under a stress-case scenario (specifically, continued commodity price weakness) Two high single B rated peers (Atlas and MarkWest) are both on review for downgrade at S&P, exerting pressure on Hiland's potential ratings profile Both names are over 4x larger than Hiland on a 2008E EBITDA basis; agencies will likely seek to preserve a gap between Atlas, MarkWest and the smaller, and on a 2009E basis, considerably more levered, Hiland Ratings Rationale Geographically diversified operations spread among several producing gas basins throughout the Rockies, MidContinent and Gulf Coast Significant tangible asset value Notwithstanding short-term commodity weakness, Hiland is well positioned to capitalize on favorable U.S. natural gas fundamentals Credit Positives Relatively small scale of operations Much smaller EBITDA than peers (e.g., Regency, Atlas, MarkWest, Targa, Copano) Volume risk given low commodity prices and severe reductions in operator capital budgets Significant commodity price exposure Fee-based contracts account for only 20% of revenue Minimal hedging strategy Projected strip-case leverage is very high relative to rated peers, Hiland's size and for the current point in the cycle Relatively low supplier diversification; meaningful percentage of Hiland assets rely on Continental's E&P business Credit Weaknesses 27
