(1)            General

Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a publicly traded limited partnership with a diverse set of operations focused primarily in the United States Gulf Coast region. Its four primary business lines include: terminalling and storage services for petroleum products and by-products, natural gas services, sulfur and sulfur-based products processing, manufacturing, marketing and distribution, and marine transportation services for petroleum products and by-products.
 
The Partnership’s unaudited consolidated and condensed financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these financial statements have been condensed and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual audited financial statements of the type contained in the Partnership’s annual reports on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the management of the Partnership’s general partner, all adjustments and elimination of significant intercompany balances necessary for a fair presentation of the Partnership’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods shown have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 2, 2011.

(a)            Use of Estimates

Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(b)            Unit Grants

In May 2011, the Partnership issued 6,250 restricted common units to non-employee directors under its long-term incentive plan from 5,750 treasury units purchased by the Partnership in the open market for $235 and 500 treasury units from forfeitures.  These units vest in 25% increments beginning in January 2012 and will be fully vested in January 2015.

In February 2011, the Partnership issued 9,100 restricted common units to certain Martin Resource Management employees under its long-term incentive plan from 9,100 treasury units purchased by the Partnership in the open market for $347.  These units vest in 25% increments beginning in February 2012 and will be fully vested in February 2015.

In August 2010, the Partnership issued 1,500 restricted common units to each of two new non-employee directors under its long-term incentive plan from 500 treasury units purchased by the Partnership in the open market for $16 and 2,500 common units from forfeited unit grants.  These units vest in 25% increments beginning in January 2011 and will be fully vested in January 2014.

In May 2010, the Partnership issued 1,000 restricted common units to each of its three independent, non-employee directors under its long-term incentive plan from treasury shares purchased by the Partnership in the open market for $92.  These units vest in 25% increments beginning in January 2011 and will be fully vested in January 2014.

The cost resulting from share-based payment transactions was $36 and $28 for the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $131 and $66 for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

(c)            Incentive Distribution Rights
 
The Partnership’s general partner, Martin Midstream GP LLC, holds a 2% general partner interest and certain incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) in the Partnership. IDRs are a separate class of non-voting limited partner interest that may be transferred or sold by the general partner under the terms of the partnership agreement of the Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”), and represent the right to receive an increasing percentage of cash distributions after the minimum quarterly distribution and any cumulative arrearages on common units once certain target distribution levels have been achieved. The Partnership is required to distribute all of its available cash from operating surplus, as defined in the Partnership Agreement.

MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 (Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
 
The target distribution levels entitle the general partner to receive 2% of quarterly cash distributions up to $0.55 per unit, 15% of quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.55 per unit until all unitholders have received $0.625 per unit, 25% of quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.625 per unit until all unitholders have received $0.75 per unit and 50% of quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.75 per unit.
 
For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010 the general partner received $1,265 and $926, respectively, in incentive distributions.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the general partner received $3,635 and $2,696, respectively, in incentive distributions.
 
(d)            Net Income per Unit

The Partnership follows the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board(“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic (“ASC”) 260-10 related to earnings per share, which addresses the application of the two-class method in determining income per unit for master limited partnerships having multiple classes of securities that may participate in partnership distributions accounted for as equity distributions. To the extent the Partnership Agreement does not explicitly limit distributions to the general partner, any earnings in excess of distributions are to be allocated to the general partner and limited partners utilizing the distribution formula for available cash specified in the Partnership Agreement. When current period distributions are in excess of earnings, the excess distributions for the period are to be allocated to the general partner and limited partners based on their respective sharing of losses specified in the Partnership Agreement.

The provisions of ASC 260-10 did not impact the Partnership’s computation of earnings per limited partner unit as cash distributions exceeded earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and the IDRs do not share in losses under the Partnership Agreement. In the event the Partnership’s earnings exceed cash distributions, ASC 260-10 will have an impact on the computation of the Partnership’s earnings per limited partner unit.  For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, the general partner’s interest in net income, including the IDRs, represents distributions declared after period-end on behalf of the general partner interest and IDRs less the allocated excess of distributions over earnings for the periods.

For purposes of computing diluted net income per unit, the Partnership uses the more dilutive of the two-class and if-converted methods. Under the if-converted method, the beneficial conversion feature is added back to net income available to common limited partners, the weighted-average number of subordinated units outstanding for the period is added to the weighted-average number of common units outstanding for purposes of computing basic net income per unit and the resulting amount is compared to the diluted net income per unit computed using the two-class method.

The following table reconciles net income to limited partners’ interest in net income:

The weighted average units outstanding for basic net income per unit were 19,158,334 and 19,161,403 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and 17,700,875 and 17,466,200 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.  For diluted net income per unit, the weighted average units outstanding were increased by 4,794 and 1,663 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, and 844 and 1,314 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, due to the dilutive effect of restricted units granted under the Partnership’s long-term incentive plan.

(e)            Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.

The Partnership has historically performed its annual impairment testing of goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets as of September 30 of each year.  During the third quarter of fiscal 2011, the Partnership changed the annual impairment testing date from September 30 to August 31.  The Partnership believes this change, which represents a change in the method of applying an accounting principle, is preferable in the circumstances as the earlier date provides additional time prior to the Partnership’s quarter-end to complete the goodwill impairment testing and report the results in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q.  A preferability letter from the Partnership’s independent registered public accounting firm regarding this change in the method of applying an accounting principle has been filed as an exhibit to this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.
 
(f)             Income Taxes

With respect to the Partnership’s taxable subsidiary, Woodlawn Pipeline Co., Inc. (“Woodlawn”), income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

(2)           New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2011, the FASB amended the provisions of ASC 350 related to testing goodwill for impairment.  This update simplifies the goodwill impairment assessment by allowing a company to first review qualitative factors to determine the likelihood of whether the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount before applying the two-step goodwill impairment test. If it is determined that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, the company would not be required to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test for that reporting unit. This update is effective for interim and annual goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011 with early adoption permitted which for the Partnership means January 1, 2012.  This amended guidance will be adopted by the Partnership effective January 1, 2012.
 
In June 2011, the FASB amended the provisions of ASC 220 related to other comprehensive income. This newly issued guidance (1) eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity; (2) requires the consecutive presentation of the statement of net income and other comprehensive income; and (3) requires an entity to present reclassification adjustments on the face of the financial statements from other comprehensive income to net income. The amendments in this guidance do not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income nor do the amendments affect how earnings per share is calculated or presented. This guidance is required to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2011, which for the Partnership means January 1, 2012.  As this new guidance only requires enhanced disclosure, adoption will not impact the Partnership’s financial position or results of operations.

(3)           Acquisitions

Redbird Gas Storage

On May 31, 2011, the Partnership acquired all of the Class B equity interests in Redbird Gas Storage LLC (“Redbird”) for approximately $59,319.  This amount was recorded as an investment in an unconsolidated entity.  Redbird, a subsidiary of Martin Resource Management, is a natural gas storage joint venture formed to invest in Cardinal Gas Storage Partners LLC (“Cardinal”).  Cardinal is a joint venture between Redbird and Energy Capital Partners that is focused on the development, construction, operation and management of natural gas storage facilities across North America.  Redbird owns an unconsolidated 40.08% interest in Cardinal.  Concurrent with the closing of this transaction, Cardinal acquired all of the outstanding equity interests in Monroe Gas Storage Company, LLC (“Monroe”) as well as an option on development rights to an adjacent depleted reservoir facility.  This acquisition was funded by borrowings under the Partnership’s revolving loan facility.

In August 2011, the board of directors of the general partner of the Partnership approved aggregate investments not to exceed $8,500 in the Class A equity interests of Redbird through December 31, 2011.  Redbird will utilize the investments by the Partnership to invest in Cardinal to fund projects for natural gas storage facilities other than Monroe.  In 2012, the Partnership will have additional opportunities to invest in the Class A equity interests of Redbird which will be evaluated on a case by case basis to determine whether or not to undertake such additional investments.

Terminalling Facilities

On January 31, 2011, the Partnership acquired 13 shore-based marine terminalling facilities, one specialty terminalling facility and certain terminalling related assets from Martin Resource Management for $36,500.  These assets are located across the Louisiana Gulf Coast.  This acquisition was funded by borrowings under the Partnership’s revolving loan facility.

These terminalling assets were acquired by Martin Resource Management in its acquisition of L&L Holdings LLC (“L&L”) on January 31, 2011.  During the second quarter, Martin Resource Management finalized the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of L&L, including the final determination of the fair value of the terminalling assets acquired by the Partnership.  The Partnership recorded an adjustment in the amount of $19,685 to reduce property, plant and equipment and partners’ capital for the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of the terminalling assets acquired based on Martin Resource Management’s final purchase price allocation.  The impact on first quarter depreciation expense as a result of the finalization of the purchase price allocation is accounted for retrospectively and was a reduction of $241.

On August 26, 2010, the Partnership acquired certain shore-based marine terminalling assets from Martin Resource Management for $11,700.  The net book value of the acquired assets was $7,331 and was recorded in property, plant and equipment.   The remaining $4,369 was recorded as a distribution to Martin Resource Management.  These assets are located in Theodore, Alabama and Pascagoula, Mississippi.

Marine Equipment

On December 22, 2010, the Partnership acquired a 60,000 bbl. offshore tank barge from Martin Resource Management for a total purchase price of $17,000.  The Partnership paid cash in the amount of $9,600 and assumed a note payable to a third party for $7,400.  The net book value of the acquired assets was $16,805 and was recorded in property, plant, and equipment.  The remaining $195 was recorded as a distribution to Martin Resource Management.

Darco Gathering System

On November 1, 2010, the Partnership, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Prism Gas, acquired approximately 20 miles of natural gas gathering pipeline and various equipment located in Harrison County, Texas. The final purchase price of approximately $25,015 was funded by borrowings under the Partnership’s credit agreement.

The purchase price including other intangibles reflected as other assets was allocated as follows:

Property, plant and equipment
    9,925  
Other assets
    15,090  
    $ 25,015  

The identifiable intangible asset of $15,090 is a life of lease contract with an active producer in the Haynesville Shale and Cotton Valley sand.  The contract is subject to amortization over an approximate useful life of twenty years.
 
Harrison Gathering System

On January 15, 2010, the Partnership, through Prism Gas Systems I, L.P. (“Prism Gas”), as 50% owner and the operator of Waskom Gas Processing Company (“Waskom”), through Waskom’s wholly-owned subsidiary Waskom Midstream LLC, acquired from Crosstex North Texas Gathering, L.P., a 100% interest in approximately 62 miles of gathering pipeline, two 35 MMcfd dew point control plants and equipment referred to as the Harrison Gathering System.  The Partnership’s share of the acquisition cost was approximately $20,000 and was recorded as an investment in an unconsolidated entity.

    $ 80,852     $ 52,616  
 
(5)           Investments in Unconsolidated Entities and Joint Ventures

Prism Gas owns an unconsolidated 50% interest in Waskom, the Matagorda Gathering System (“Matagorda”) and Panther Interstate Pipeline Energy LLC (“PIPE”).   As a result, these assets are accounted for by the equity method.

                 In accounting for the acquisition of the interests in Waskom, Matagorda and PIPE, the carrying amount of these investments exceeded the underlying net assets by approximately $46,176. The difference was attributable to property and equipment of $11,872 and equity-method goodwill of $34,304. The excess investment relating to property and equipment is being amortized over an average life of 20 years, which approximates the useful life of the underlying assets.  Such amortization amounted to $148 and $445 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and has been recorded as a reduction of equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities. The remaining unamortized excess investment relating to property and equipment was $8,458 and $8,903 at September 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The equity-method goodwill is not amortized; however, it is analyzed for impairment annually or when changes in circumstance indicate that a potential impairment exists. No impairment was recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 or 2010.

As a partner in Waskom, the Partnership receives distributions in kind of natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) that are retained according to Waskom’s contracts with certain producers. The NGLs are valued at prevailing market prices. In addition, cash distributions are received and cash contributions are made to fund operating and capital requirements of Waskom.

The Partnership and Martin Resource Management formed Redbird, a natural gas storage joint venture formed to invest in Cardinal.  The Partnership owns all the Class B equity interests in Redbird.  Redbird owns an unconsolidated 40.08% interest in Cardinal.  These assets are accounted for by the equity method.

 (6)           Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Partnership’s results of operations are materially impacted by changes in crude oil, natural gas and NGL prices and interest rates. In an effort to manage its exposure to these risks, the Partnership periodically enters into various derivative instruments, including commodity and interest rate hedges. The Partnership is required to recognize all derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value on the Partnership’s Consolidated Balance Sheets and to recognize certain changes in the fair value of derivative instruments on the Partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.
 
           The Partnership performs, at least quarterly, a retrospective assessment of the effectiveness of its hedge contracts, including assessing the possibility of counterparty default. If the Partnership determines that a derivative is no longer expected to be highly effective, the Partnership discontinues hedge accounting prospectively and recognizes subsequent changes in the fair value of the hedge in earnings. As a result of its effectiveness assessment at September 30, 2011, the Partnership believes certain hedge contracts will continue to be effective in offsetting changes in cash flow or fair value attributable to the hedged risk.

All derivatives and hedging instruments are included on the balance sheet as an asset or a liability measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. If a derivative qualifies for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value can be offset against the change in the fair value of the hedged item through earnings or recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) until such time as the hedged item is recognized in earnings. The Partnership is exposed to the risk that periodic changes in the fair value of derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting will not be effective, as defined, or that derivatives will no longer qualify for hedge accounting. To the extent that the periodic changes in the fair value of the derivatives are not effective, that ineffectiveness is recorded to earnings. Likewise, if a hedge ceases to qualify for hedge accounting, any change in the fair value of derivative instruments since the last period is recorded to earnings; however, any amounts previously recorded to AOCI would remain there until such time as the original forecasted transaction occurs, then would be reclassified to earnings or if it is determined that continued reporting of losses in AOCI would lead to recognizing a net loss on the combination of the hedging instrument and the hedge transaction in future periods, then the losses would be immediately reclassified to earnings.

For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of AOCI and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.  The effective portion of the derivative represents the change in fair value of the hedge that offsets the change in fair value of the hedged item. To the extent the change in the fair value of the hedge does not perfectly offset the change in the fair value of the hedged item; the ineffective portion of the hedge is immediately recognized in earnings.

(a)           Commodity Derivative Instruments

The Partnership is exposed to market risks associated with commodity prices and uses derivatives to manage the risk of commodity price fluctuation. The Partnership has established a hedging policy and monitors and manages the commodity market risk associated with its commodity risk exposure. The Partnership has entered into hedging transactions through 2012 to protect a portion of its commodity exposure. These hedging arrangements are in the form of swaps for crude oil, natural gas and natural gasoline. In addition, the Partnership is focused on utilizing counterparties for these transactions whose financial condition is appropriate for the credit risk involved in each specific transaction.

Due to the volatility in commodity markets, the Partnership is unable to predict the amount of ineffectiveness each period, including the loss of hedge accounting, which is determined on a derivative by derivative basis. This may result, and has resulted, in increased volatility in the Partnership’s financial results. Factors that have and may continue to lead to ineffectiveness and unrealized gains and losses on derivative contracts include: a substantial fluctuation in energy prices, the number of derivatives the Partnership holds and significant weather events that have affected energy production. The number of instances in which the Partnership has discontinued hedge accounting for specific hedges is primarily due to those reasons. However, even though these derivatives may not qualify for hedge accounting, the Partnership continues to hold the instruments as it believes they continue to afford the Partnership opportunities to manage commodity risk exposure.

September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)

Based on estimated volumes, as of September 30, 2011, the Partnership had hedged approximately 49% and 36% of its commodity risk by volume for 2011 and 2012, respectively.  The Partnership anticipates entering into additional commodity derivatives on an ongoing basis to manage its risks associated with these market fluctuations and will consider using various commodity derivatives, including forward contracts, swaps, collars, futures and options, although there is no assurance that the Partnership will be able to do so or that the terms thereof will be similar to the Partnership’s existing hedging arrangements.

The Partnership’s credit exposure related to commodity cash flow hedges is represented by the positive fair value of contracts to the Partnership at September 30, 2011. These outstanding contracts expose the Partnership to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. The Partnership has incurred no losses associated with counterparty nonperformance on derivative contracts.

On all transactions where the Partnership is exposed to a counterparty risk, the Partnership analyzes the counterparty’s financial condition prior to entering into an agreement, has established a maximum credit limit threshold pursuant to its hedging policy, and monitors the appropriateness of these limits on an ongoing basis. The Partnership has agreements with four counterparties containing collateral provisions. Based on those current agreements, cash deposits are required to be posted whenever the net fair value of derivatives associated with the individual counterparty exceed a specific threshold. If this threshold is exceeded, cash is posted by the Partnership if the value of derivatives is a liability to the Partnership. As of September 30, 2011, the Partnership has no cash collateral deposits posted with counterparties.

The Partnership’s principal customers with respect to Prism Gas’ natural gas gathering and processing are large, natural gas marketing services, oil and gas producers and industrial end-users. In addition, substantially all of the Partnership’s natural gas and NGL sales are made at market-based prices. The Partnership’s standard gas and NGL sales contracts contain adequate assurance provisions which allows for the suspension of deliveries, cancellation of agreements or discontinuance of deliveries to the buyer unless the buyer provides security for payment in a form satisfactory to the Partnership.

(b)           Impact of Commodity Cash Flow Hedges

Crude Oil.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, net gains on swap hedge contracts increased crude revenue by $361 and $17, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, net gains on swap hedge contracts increased crude revenue by $658 and $270, respectively.  As of September 30, 2011 an unrealized derivative fair value gain of $428, related to current and terminated cash flow hedges of crude oil price risk, was recorded in AOCI.  Fair value gains of $247 and $181 are expected to be reclassified into earnings in 2011 and 2012, respectively.  The actual reclassification to earnings for contracts remaining in effect will be based on mark-to-market prices at the contract settlement date or for those terminated contracts based on the recorded values at September 30, 2011, adjusted for any impairment, along with the realization of the gain or loss on the related physical volume, which is not reflected above.

Natural Gas.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, net gains on swap hedge contracts increased gas revenue by $72 and $152, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, net gains on swap hedge contracts increased gas revenue $215 and $409, respectively.  As of September 30, 2011 an unrealized derivative fair value gain of $359 related to cash flow hedges of natural gas was recorded in AOCI.  Fair value gains of $100 and $259 are expected to be reclassified into earnings in 2011 and 2012, respectively.  The actual reclassification to earnings will be based on mark-to-market prices at the contract settlement date, along with the realization of the gain or loss on the related physical volume, which is not reflected above.

Natural Gas Liquids.  For the three months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, net gains on swap hedge contracts increased natural gas liquids revenue by $236 and $41, respectively.  For the nine months ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, net gains and losses on swap hedge contracts increased natural gas liquids revenue $458 and $230, respectively.  As of September 30, 2011 an unrealized derivative fair value gain of $590 related to cash flow hedges of natural gas was recorded in AOCI.  Fair value gains of $329 and $260 are expected to be reclassified into earnings in 2011 and 2012, respectively.  The actual reclassification to earnings will be based on mark-to-market prices at the contract settlement date, along with the realization of the gain or loss on the related physical volume, which is not reflected above.

(c)           Impact of Interest Rate Derivative Instruments
 
The Partnership is exposed to market risks associated with interest rates. The Partnership enters into interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk associated with the Partnership’s variable rate debt and term loan credit facilities. All derivatives and hedging instruments are included on the balance sheet as an asset or a liability measured at fair value and changes in fair value are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. If a derivative qualifies for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value can be offset against the change in the fair value of the hedged item through earnings or recognized in AOCI until such time as the hedged item is recognized in earnings.
 
In August 2011, the Partnership terminated all of its existing interest swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $100,000, which it had entered to hedge its exposure to changes in the fair value of Senior Notes as described in Note 10.  These interest rate swap contracts were not designated as fair value hedges and therefore, did not receive hedge accounting but were marked to market through earnings.  Termination fees of $2,800 were received on the early extinguishment of the interest rate swap agreements in August 2011.
 
In March 2010, in connection with a pay down of the Partnership’s revolving credit facility, the Partnership terminated all of its existing cash flow hedge agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $140,000, which it had entered to hedge its exposure to increases in the benchmark interest rate underlying its variable rate revolving and term loan credit facilities.  Termination fees of $3,850 were paid on the early extinguishment of all interest rate swap agreements in March 2010.   The amounts remaining in AOCI were reclassified into interest expense over the original term of the terminated interest rate derivatives.
 
            The Partnership recognized decreases in interest expense of $3,244 and $5,779 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, related to the difference between the fixed rate and the floating rate of interest on the interest rate swap and net cash settlement of interest rate swaps and hedges.  The Partnership recognized increases (decreases) in interest expense of $(957) and $2,567 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, related to the difference between the fixed rate and the floating rate of interest on the interest rate swap and net cash settlement of interest rate swaps and hedges.
