Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected. Among the key risk factors that impact our consolidated financial position and results of operations are:

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
At September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, and for the
Three Months and Six Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
Note 1 Organization and Operations
NGL Energy Partners LP (we, us, our, or the Partnership) is a Delaware limited partnership. NGL Energy Holdings LLC serves as our general partner. At September 30, 2014, our operations include:
· Our crude oil logistics segment, the assets of which include owned and leased crude oil storage terminals, pipeline injection stations, a fleet of trucks, a fleet of leased and owned railcars, and a fleet of barges and towboats, and a 50% interest in a crude oil pipeline. Our crude oil logistics segment purchases crude oil from producers and transports it for resale at owned and leased pipeline injection points, storage terminals, barge loading facilities, rail facilities, refineries, and other trade hubs.
· Our water solutions segment, the assets of which include water treatment and disposal facilities. Our water solutions segment generates revenues from the treatment and disposal of wastewater generated from crude oil and natural gas production, and from the sale of recycled water and recovered hydrocarbons.
· Our liquids segment, which supplies natural gas liquids to retailers, wholesalers, refiners, and petrochemical plants throughout the United States and in Canada, and which provides natural gas liquids terminaling services through its 22 terminals throughout the United States and railcar transportation services through its fleet of leased and owned railcars. Our liquids segment purchases propane, butane, and other products from refiners, processing plants, producers, and other parties, and sells the product to retailers, refiners, petrochemical plants, and other participants in the wholesale markets.
· Our retail propane segment, which sells propane, distillates, and equipment and supplies to end users consisting of residential, agricultural, commercial, and industrial customers and to certain re-sellers in more than 20 states.
· Our refined products and renewables segment, which conducts gasoline, diesel, ethanol, and biodiesel marketing operations. We also own the 2.0% general partner interest and a 19.7% limited partner interest in TransMontaigne Partners L.P. (TLP), which conducts refined products terminaling operations. TLP also owns a 42.5% interest in Battleground Oil Specialty Terminal Company LLC (BOSTCO) and a 50% interest in Frontera Brownsville LLC (Frontera), which are entities that own refined products storage facilities.
Note 2 Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 include our accounts and those of our controlled subsidiaries. Investments where we do not have the ability to exercise control, but do have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. All significant intercompany transactions and account balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 2014 is derived from audited financial statements. We have made certain reclassifications to prior period financial statements to conform to classification methods used in fiscal year 2015. These reclassifications had no impact on previously reported amounts of equity or net income.
NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued
At September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, and for the
Three Months and Six Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim consolidated financial information in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that we consider necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position and results of operations for the interim periods presented. Such adjustments consist of only normal recurring items, unless otherwise disclosed herein. Accordingly, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all the information and notes required by GAAP for complete annual consolidated financial statements. However, we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K (the Annual Report). Due to the seasonal nature of our natural gas liquids operations and other factors, the results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
Our significant accounting policies are consistent with those disclosed in Note 2 of our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report.
Revenue Recognition
We record revenues from product sales at the time title to the product transfers to the purchaser, which typically occurs upon receipt of the product by the purchaser. We record terminaling, transportation, storage, and service revenues at the time the service is performed, and we record tank and other rentals over the term of the lease. Pursuant to terminaling services agreements with certain of our throughput customers, we are entitled to the volume of product gained resulting from differences in the measurement of product volumes received and distributed at our terminaling facilities. Such measurement differentials occur as the result of the inherent variances in measurement devices and methodology. We recognize as revenue the net proceeds from the sale of the product gained. Revenues for our water solutions business are recognized upon receipt of the wastewater at our disposal facilities.
We report taxes collected from customers and remitted to taxing authorities, such as sales and use taxes, on a net basis. Amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs are included in revenues in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We enter into certain contracts whereby we agree to purchase product from a counterparty and sell the same volume of product to the same counterparty at a different location or time. When such agreements are entered into concurrently and are entered into in contemplation of each other, we record the revenues for these transactions net of cost of sales.
Fair Value Measurements
We apply fair value measurements to certain assets and liabilities, principally our commodity derivative instruments and assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is based upon assumptions that market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and risks inherent in valuation techniques and inputs to valuations. This includes not only the credit standing of counterparties and credit enhancements but also the impact of our own nonperformance risk on our liabilities. Fair value measurements assume that the transaction occurs in the principal market for the asset or liability or, in the absence of a principal market, the most advantageous market for the asset or liability (the market for which the reporting entity would be able to maximize the amount received or minimize the amount paid). We evaluate the need for credit adjustments to our derivative instrument fair values in accordance with the requirements noted above. Such adjustments were not material to the fair values of our derivative instruments.
NGL ENERGY PARTNERS LP AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued
At September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, and for the
Three Months and Six Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
We use the following fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three broad levels:
· Level 1 Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date.
· Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, and inputs that are derived from observable market data by correlation or other means. Instruments categorized in Level 2 include non-exchange traded derivatives such as over-the-counter commodity price swap and option contracts and interest rate protection agreements. The majority of our fair value measurements related to our derivative financial instruments were categorized as Level 2 at September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014 (see Note 11). We determine the fair value of all our derivative financial instruments utilizing pricing models for significantly similar instruments. Inputs to the pricing model include publicly available prices and forward curves generated from a compilation of data gathered from third parties.
· Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability including situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. We did not have any fair value measurements categorized as Level 3 at September 30, 2014 or March 31, 2014.
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability.

Cash flows from settlements of commodity derivative instruments are classified as cash flows from investing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, and adjustments to the fair value of commodity derivative instruments are included in the reconciliation of net loss to net cash used in operating activities.
Inventories
We value our inventories at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using either the weighted-average cost or the first in, first out (FIFO) methods, including the cost of transportation and storage. In performing this analysis, we take into consideration fixed-price forward sale commitments and the opportunity to transfer propane inventory from our wholesale business to our retail business for sale in the retail markets.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
In December 2013, as part of our acquisition of Gavilon, LLC (Gavilon Energy), we acquired a 50% interest in Glass Mountain Pipeline, LLC (Glass Mountain) and an 11% interest in a limited liability company that owns an ethanol production facility. In June 2014, we acquired an interest in a limited liability company that operates a water supply business. On July 1, 2014, as part of our acquisition of TransMontaigne Inc. (TransMontaigne), we acquired TLP, which owns a 42.5% interest in BOSTCO and a 50% interest in Frontera. We account for these investments using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, we do not report the individual assets and liabilities of these entities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets; instead, our ownership interests are reported within investments in unconsolidated entities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Under the equity method, the investment is recorded at acquisition cost, increased by our proportionate share of any earnings and additional capital contributions and decreased by our proportionate share of any losses, distributions paid and amortization of any excess investment. Excess investment is the amount by which our total investment exceeds our proportionate share of the book value of the net assets of the investment entity.
Our investments in unconsolidated entities consist of the following:

(1) When we acquired Gavilon we recorded the investment in Glass Mountain at fair value. The fair value of our investment in Glass Mountain exceeds our share of the historical net book value of Glass Mountains net assets by approximately $70 million. This difference relates primarily to goodwill and customer relationships.

Business Combination Measurement Period
We record the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination at their acquisition-date fair values. Pursuant to GAAP, an entity is allowed a reasonable period of time (not to exceed one year) to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. As described in Note 4, certain of our acquisitions are still within this measurement period, and as a result, the acquisition-date fair values we have recorded for the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are subject to change. Also as described in Note 4, we made certain adjustments during the six months ended September 30, 2014 to our estimates of the acquisition-date fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations that occurred during the year ended March 31, 2014.
Noncontrolling Interests
We have certain consolidated subsidiaries in which outside parties own interests. The noncontrolling interest shown in our condensed consolidated financial statements represents the other owners share of these entities.
On July 1, 2014, as part of our acquisition of TransMontaigne, we acquired a 19.7% limited partner interest in TLP. We have attributed net earnings allocable to TLPs limited partners to the controlling and noncontrolling interests based on the relative ownership interests in TLP as well as including certain adjustments related to our acquisition accounting. Net earnings allocable to TLPs limited partners are net of the earnings allocable to TLPs general partner interest. The earnings allocable to TLPs general partner interest include the distributions of available cash (as defined by TLPs partnership agreement) attributable to the period to TLPs general partner interest and incentive distribution rights, net of adjustments for TLPs general partners share of undistributed earnings. Undistributed earnings are allocated to TLPs limited partners and TLPs general partner interest based on their respective sharing of earnings or losses specified in TLPs partnership agreement, which is based on their ownership percentages of 98% and 2%, respectively.

(1) The net income allocated to the general partner includes distributions to which it is entitled as the holder of incentive distribution rights, which are described in Note 10.
(2) All outstanding subordinated units converted to common units in August 2014. Since the subordinated units did not share in the distribution of cash generated during the three months ended September 30, 2014, we did not allocate any earnings or loss during this period to the subordinated unitholders. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 and the six months ended September 30, 2013, 5,919,346 subordinated units were outstanding. The loss per subordinated unit was $(0.68) for the three months ended June 30, 2014, $(0.09) for the three months ended September 30, 2013, and $(0.52) for the six months ended September 30, 2013.
The restricted units described in Note 10 were antidilutive during the three months and six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, but could impact earnings per unit in future periods.
Note 4 Acquisitions
Year Ending March 31, 2015
TransMontaigne Inc.
On July 1, 2014, we acquired TransMontaigne for $174.2 million of cash, net of cash acquired. As part of this transaction, we also purchased $380.4 million of inventory from the previous owner of TransMontaigne (including $346.9 million paid at closing and $33.5 million subsequently paid as the working capital settlement process progressed). The operations of TransMontaigne include the marketing of refined products and crude oil. As part of this transaction, we acquired the 2.0% general partner interest, the incentive distribution rights, and a 19.7% limited partner interest in TLP, and assumed certain terminaling service agreements with TLP from an affiliate of the previous owner of TransMontaigne. The acquisition agreement contemplates a post-closing adjustment to the purchase price for certain working capital items. We estimate that we will pay an additional $27.5 million once the working capital settlement process has been completed.

(1) Included in the refined products and renewables segment.
Goodwill represents the excess of the consideration paid for the acquired business over the fair value of the individual assets acquired, net of liabilities assumed. Goodwill primarily represents the value of synergies between the acquired entity and the Partnership, the opportunity to use the acquired business as a platform for growth, and the acquired assembled workforce. We estimate that all of the goodwill will be deductible for federal income tax purposes.
The intangible asset for pipeline capacity rights relates to capacity allocations on a third-party refined products pipeline. Demand for use of this pipeline exceeds the pipelines capacity, and the limited capacity is allocated based on a shippers historical shipment volumes.
The fair value of the noncontrolling interests was calculated by multiplying the closing price of TLPs common units on the acquisition date by the number of TLP common units held by parties other than us.
We recorded in the acquisition accounting a liability of $2.5 million related to certain crude oil contracts with terms that were unfavorable at current market conditions. We amortized this balance to cost of sales during the three months ended September 30, 2014.
Employees of TransMontaigne participate in a plan whereby they are entitled to certain termination benefits in the event of a change in control of TransMontaigne and a subsequent change in job status. We recorded expense of $2.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 related to these termination benefits, and we may record additional expense in future quarters as we continue our integration efforts.

At September 30, 2014 and March 31, 2014, and for the
Three Months and Six Months Ended September 30, 2014 and 2013
The operations of TransMontaigne have been included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations since TransMontaigne was acquired on July 1, 2014. Our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months and six months ended September 30, 2014 include revenues of $1.1 billion and an operating loss of $0.3 million that were generated by the operations of TransMontaigne. We have not provided supplemental pro forma financial information as though the business combination had occurred on April 1, 2013. The previous owner of TransMontaigne conducted trading operations, whereas we strive to generate reliable and predictable cash flows. Because of the difference in strategies between the pre-acquisition and post-acquisition periods, the pre-acquisition operations of TransMontaigne have limited importance as an indicator of post-acquisition results.
On July 10, 2014, we submitted a nonbinding proposal to the conflicts committee of the board of directors of TLPs general partner. Under this proposal, each outstanding unit of TLP would be exchanged for one of our common units. On August 15, 2014, we and TLPs general partner terminated discussions regarding our previously submitted nonbinding proposal to acquire the outstanding common units of TLP.
Water Solutions Facilities
As described below, we are party to a development agreement that provides us a right to purchase water disposal facilities developed by the other party to the agreement. During the six months ended September 30, 2014, we purchased four water disposal facilities under this development agreement. We also purchased a 75% interest in one additional water disposal facility in July 2014 from a different seller. On a combined basis, we paid $82.9 million of cash for these five water disposal facilities.
We are in the process of identifying and determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in these business combinations. The estimates of fair value reflected at September 30, 2014 are subject to change, and such changes could be material. We expect to complete this process prior to finalizing our financial statements for the quarter ending June 30, 2015. We have preliminarily estimated the fair values of the assets acquired (and useful lives) and liabilities assumed as follows (in thousands):

Retail Propane Acquisitions
During the six months ended September 30, 2014, we completed three acquisitions of retail propane businesses. On a combined basis, we paid $6.4 million of cash to acquire these assets and operations. The agreements for these acquisitions contemplate post-closing payments for certain working capital items. We are in the process of identifying and determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in certain of these business combinations, and as a result, the estimates of fair value reflected at September 30, 2014 are subject to change.
Water Supply Company
On June 9, 2014, we paid cash of $15.0 million in exchange for an interest in a water supply company operating in the DJ Basin. We account for this investment using the equity method of accounting.
Year Ended March 31, 2014
As described in Note 2, pursuant to GAAP, an entity is allowed a reasonable period of time to obtain the information necessary to identify and measure the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination. The business combinations for which this measurement period was still open as of March 31, 2014 are summarized below.
Gavilon Energy
On December 2, 2013, we completed a business combination in which we acquired Gavilon Energy. We paid $832.4 million of cash, net of cash acquired, in exchange for these assets and operations. The acquisition agreement also contemplates a post-closing adjustment to the purchase price for certain working capital items.
The assets of Gavilon Energy include crude oil terminals in Oklahoma, Texas, and Louisiana, a 50% interest in Glass Mountain, which owns a crude oil pipeline that originates in western Oklahoma and terminates in Cushing, Oklahoma, and an 11% interest in an ethanol production facility in the Midwest. The operations of Gavilon Energy include the marketing of crude oil, refined products, ethanol, biodiesel, and natural gas liquids and owned and leased crude oil storage in Cushing, Oklahoma.

We estimated the value of the customer relationship intangible asset using the income approach, which uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts (for example, cash flows or earnings) to a single present amount (discounted). The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts.

The acquisition method of accounting requires that executory contracts that are at unfavorable terms relative to current market conditions at the acquisition date be recorded as assets or liabilities in the acquisition accounting. Since certain crude oil storage lease commitments were at unfavorable terms relative to current market conditions, we recorded a liability of $15.9 million related to these lease commitments in the acquisition accounting, and we amortized $5.0 million of this balance through cost of sales during the six months ended September 30, 2014. We will amortize the remainder of this liability over the term of the leases. The future amortization of this liability is shown below (in thousands):

Certain personnel who were employees of Gavilon Energy are entitled to a bonus, half of which was payable upon successful completion of the business combination and the remainder of which is payable in December 2014. We are recording this as compensation expense over the vesting period. We recorded expense of $5.2 million during the six months ended September 30, 2014 related to these bonuses, and we expect to record an additional expense of $1.6 million during the quarter ending December 31, 2014.
Oilfield Water Lines, LP
On August 2, 2013, we completed a business combination with entities affiliated with Oilfield Water Lines LP (collectively, OWL), whereby we acquired water disposal and transportation assets in Texas. We issued 2,463,287 common units, valued at $68.6 million, and paid $167.7 million of cash, net of cash acquired, in exchange for OWL. During the three months ended June 30, 2014, we completed the acquisition accounting for this business combination.

As part of one of these business combinations, we entered into an option agreement with the seller of the business whereby we had the option to purchase a saltwater disposal facility that was under construction. We recorded an intangible asset of $2.5 million at the acquisition date related to this option agreement. On March 1, 2014, we purchased the saltwater disposal facility for additional cash consideration of $3.7 million.
In addition, as part of one of these business combinations, we entered into a development agreement that provides us a right to purchase water disposal facilities that may be developed by the seller through June 2018. On March 1, 2014, we purchased our first water disposal facility pursuant to the development agreement for $21.0 million.

Retail Propane and Liquids Acquisitions
During the year ended March 31, 2014, we completed four acquisitions of retail propane businesses and the acquisition of four natural gas liquids terminals. On a combined basis, we paid $21.9 million of cash to acquire these assets and operations. The agreements for certain of these acquisitions contemplate post-closing payments for certain working capital items. We are in the process of identifying and determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in certain of these business combinations, and as a result, the estimates of fair value reflected at September 30, 2014 are subject to change.

Depreciation expense was $28.4 million and $13.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $46.9 million and $27.2 million during the six months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Crude oil volumes required for the operation of storage tanks, known as tank bottoms, are recorded at historical cost. Tank bottoms are the volume of crude oil that must be maintained in a storage tank to enable operation of the storage tank. We recover tank bottom crude oil when we no longer use the storage tanks or the storage tanks are removed from service. At September 30, 2014, tank bottoms consisted of approximately 185,000 barrels.
