available cash, not earnings, in a manner consistent with our Partnership Agreement,&#148; said Brian L. Cantrell, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. &#147;It appears, however, that the theoretical distribution of earnings required
by EITF 03-6 should be applied to our calculation for financial reporting purposes of net income per limited partner unit. Although this method of calculating earnings per unit is pro forma in nature and determined without regard to distributions
actually made to unitholders in accordance with our Partnership Agreement, Alliance will reflect on our financial statements the presentation of net income per limited partner unit dictated by the impact of EITF 03-6 on generally accepted accounting
principles.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">For periods in which aggregate net income exceeds aggregate
distributions for such period, EITF 03-6 will have the impact of reducing earnings per limited partner unit. This result occurs as a larger portion of the Partnership&#146;s aggregate earnings, as if distributed, is allocated to the incentive
distribution rights held by the Partnership&#146;s managing general partner, even though distributions to unitholders are made on the basis of cash available for distribution under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, not earnings, in any given
period. For accounting periods in which the Partnership&#146;s aggregate net income does not exceed aggregate distributions to unitholders for such period, EITF 03-6 does not have any impact. </FONT></P> <P
