(a) A distribution of $0.5775 per unit was declared for the three months ended June 30, 2006, which will result in a total quarterly cash distribution payment of $52.8 million. The partnership’s general partner is entitled to 26.40% of this cash distribution. Except for those periods when net income exceeds distributions, net income is allocated between the general partner and limited partners based on the contractually-determined proportion of cash distributions received. Because second-quarter 2006 net income of $57.4 million exceeded the corresponding quarterly cash distribution, under the “two class” method of computing earnings per share, as prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, “Earnings Per Share”, earnings are allocated to participating securities as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. A theoretical cash distribution of $0.61178 per unit would result in a distribution of $57.4 million, which equals net income for the three months ended June 30, 2006. At this distribution level, the general partner’s share of distributions would be 28.30%.

 

     For purposes of calculating earnings per limited partner unit, the general partner’s share of distributions for the six months ended June 30, 2006 is equal to its share of actual first quarter 2006 distributions plus its share of theoretical distributions for second quarter 2006.
