[1] For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we had weighted average preferred units outstanding of 16,666,667. The preferred and Class B units are contingently convertible into common units and could potentially dilute earnings per unit in the future. The preferred and Class B units have not been included in the diluted earnings per unit calculation for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, as they were anti-dilutive for the periods. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, we had 11.6 million Deferred Class B units which were also not included in the diluted earnings per unit calculation as they were anti-dilutive for the period.
