On a GAAP basis, the Partnership had a net loss attributable to common limited partners of $3.6 million for the third quarter 2009 compared with income of $34.0 million for the prior year third quarter. The decrease in net income attributable to common limited partners was primarily due to non-cash derivative gains incurred in third quarter 2008 as a result of the decline in crude oil prices, compounded by lower average commodity prices during the current period. Please see today’s APL press release regarding its third quarter 2009 earnings for further information regarding its results.
