Highlights of the second quarter of 2009 compared to the first quarter of 2009:



 -- Production decreased 2% to 8,154 Boe per day from 8,322 Boe per
    day as a result of the reduction in development capital
    expenditures in the first half of 2009 compared to the second half
    of 2008 along with downtime related to third party gas plant
    maintenance in the Texas Panhandle.

 -- Combined realized prices were $42.93 per Boe, up 39% from $30.79
    per Boe in the first quarter excluding the impact of commodity
    derivatives.  Oil prices were $55.79 per barrel compared to $35.79
    per barrel, while natural gas prices increased marginally to $3.79
    per Mcf from $3.62 per Mcf.

 -- Oil, NGL and natural gas sales were $31.9 million, a 38% increase
    from $23.1 million due to the increase in commodity prices which
    more than offset slightly lower production volumes.

 -- Commodity derivative cash settlements decreased to $16.7 million
    compared to $19.0 million due to commodity price increases.
    Included in the $16.7 million of settlements is a $3.0 million
    benefit due to settlement timing in an increasing price
    environment, compared to a $1.3 million detriment in the first
    quarter as prices fell from the prior quarter.

 -- Production expenses increased modestly to $10.7 million, or $14.38
    per Boe, from $10.5 million, or $14.07 per Boe.

 -- Adjusted EBITDA increased 29% to $32.0 million from $24.8 million
    due to the impact of increased commodity prices compared to the
    first quarter.

 -- Development capital expenditures were $2.6 million reduced from
    $4.8 million in the prior quarter.

 -- Distributable cash flow increased to $24.7 million from $14.9
    million as a result of our higher EBITDA and reduced development
    capital expenditures.

Comparisons of the six months ended June 30, 2009 results to the six months ended June 30, 2008 follow:



 -- Production increased 16% to 8,238 Boe per day from 7,088 Boe per
    day as a result of our acquisitions and development capital
    expenditures in 2008.

 -- Combined realized prices were $36.83 per Boe, down 59% from $89.45
    per Boe.  Oil prices were $45.58 per barrel compared to $109.02
    per barrel, while natural gas prices declined to $3.71 per Mcf
    from $9.85 per Mcf.

 -- Oil, NGL and natural gas sales were $54.9 million, a 52% decline
    from $115.4 million due to lower commodity prices in the period,
    partially offset by higher production volumes.

 -- Commodity derivative cash settlements received were $35.6 million
    compared to a $21.9 million loss due to the decline in commodity
    prices year over year.

 -- Production expenses were $21.2 million, or $14.22 per Boe,
    compared to $21.3 million, or $16.48 per Boe, due to the lower
    commodity price environment offset by the acquisition of
    properties and growth in well count.

 -- Adjusted EBITDA decreased 3% to $56.8 million from $58.6 million
    due primarily to the decline in oil and natural gas sales
    revenues, offset by higher commodity derivatives settlements.

 -- Development capital expenditures remain unchanged year over year
    at $7.4 million.

 -- Distributable cash flow decreased 17% to $39.6 million from $47.5
    million as a consequence of lower adjusted EBITDA and higher cash
    interest expense.

Cary Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Legacy Reserves GP, LLC, the general partner of Legacy, said, "We had strong distribution coverage in the second quarter in excess of 1.5 times our $0.52 quarterly distribution. Our $8.5 million of excess distributable cash flow coupled with our improved liquidity outlook and our favorable long-term commodity hedges have bolstered our confidence in continuing to support a $0.52 quarterly distribution. We are pleased to remain public and to continue to pay a cash distribution to our investors."

Take Private Offer

On April 3, 2009, Legacy's Board of Directors announced the receipt of a proposal from Apollo Management VII, LP to acquire all of the outstanding units of Legacy at a cash purchase price of $14.00 per unit, subject to adjustment for any distributions paid to Legacy's limited partners. On June 24, 2009, after careful review of the Proposal Letter and subsequent negotiations relating to the Proposal Letter, Legacy's Conflicts Committee determined that it was in the best interest of the unitholders of Legacy to terminate discussions with Apollo Management.

Net Income/Loss

Legacy incurred a net loss for the second quarter of 2009 of $57.0 million, which was impacted by unrealized losses on oil and natural gas swaps of approximately $75.8 million due to increases in oil and natural gas prices from the end of the first quarter as well as depletion, depreciation and amortization of $13.5 million. In the first quarter of 2009, we reported net income of $3.5 million, which included $0.5 million of unrealized gains on commodity derivatives and depletion, depreciation and amortization of $16.6 million.

Commodity Derivatives

We have entered into the following fixed price swaps for oil and natural gas to help mitigate the risk of changing commodity prices. As of August 5, 2009, we had entered into swap agreements to receive average NYMEX West Texas Intermediate oil and Henry Hub, Waha and ANR-Oklahoma natural gas prices as summarized below starting with July 2009 through December 2013:

 2012                          969,812  $       81.28 $67.72 - $109.20

Additionally, we have entered into NYMEX WTI derivative collar contracts with the following attributes:

 2010                            71,800 $      120.00 $         156.30
 2011                            68,300 $      120.00 $         156.30
 2012                            65,100 $      120.00 $         156.30

The agreements provide for monthly settlement based on the difference between the agreement fixed price and the actual reference oil and natural gas index prices.

We have entered into natural gas basis swaps to receive floating NYMEX prices less a fixed basis differential and pay prices based on the floating Waha index, a natural gas hub in West Texas. The prices that we receive for our Permian Basin natural gas sales follow Waha more closely than the NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas index. The basis swaps thereby provide a better correlation between our natural gas sales and the derivative settlement payments on our natural gas swaps. The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, our NYMEX-Waha basis swaps currently in place for production months through December 31, 2010:



                                           Average         Basis

In 2007, we entered into NGL swaps to hedge the impact of volatility in the spot prices of NGLs. The commodity prices covered by these swaps are the spot prices for ethane, propane, iso-butane, normal butane and natural gasoline reported on the Mont Belvieu, Non-Tet OPIS exchange. The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, our Mont Belvieu, Non-Tet OPIS NGL swaps currently in place for production months through December 2009.



                             Annual        Average         Price

Legacy enters into derivative transactions with unaffiliated third parties with respect to oil, NGL and natural gas prices to achieve more predictable cash flows and to reduce its exposure to short-term fluctuations in oil, NGL and natural gas prices. These derivative instruments are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 133 - Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. These instruments are intended to mitigate a portion of Legacy's price risk and may be considered hedges for economic purposes but Legacy has chosen not to designate them as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Therefore, all derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value which requires us to mark our future derivatives positions to market each quarter resulting in unrealized gains or losses, which impact reported net income. Unrealized gains or losses represent current period mark-to-market adjustments for commodity derivatives which will be settled in future periods. Unrealized gains or losses result in a non-cash impact on earnings and do not affect our ability to make our expected cash distributions. The majority of our derivative instruments now in place are in the form of swaps of floating prices for fixed prices paid by the counterparty.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release, the financial tables and other supplemental information, including the reconciliation of "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Distributable Cash Flow", both of which are non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") measures to their nearest comparable generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") measure, may be used periodically by management when discussing our financial results with investors and analysts. All such information is also available on our website under the Investor Relations link.

"Adjusted EBITDA" and "Distributable Cash Flow" should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures, such as net income, operating income or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined in our revolving credit facility as net income (loss) plus:



 -- Interest expense;

 -- Income taxes;

 -- Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion;

 -- Impairment of long-lived assets;

 -- (Gain) loss on sale of partnership investment;

 -- (Gain) loss on disposal of assets;

 -- Unit-based compensation expense arising from liability and equity-
    based awards;

 -- Equity in (income) loss of partnerships; and

 -- Unrealized (gain) loss on oil and natural gas derivatives.

Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less:



 -- Cash interest expense;

 -- Cash income taxes;

 -- Cash settlements of unit options; and

 -- Development capital expenditures.

Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are presented as management believes they provide additional information and metrics relative to the performance of our business, such as the cash distributions we expect to pay to our unitholders, as well as our ability to meet our debt covenant compliance tests. Management believes that these financial measures indicate to investors whether or not cash flow is being generated at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our quarterly distribution rates. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other publicly traded limited partnerships or limited liability companies because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.

The following table presents a reconciliation of our consolidated net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow:
