In accordance with guidance issued by the FASB regarding participating securities and the two-class method, Ferrellgas calculates net earnings (loss) per common unitholders' interest for each period presented according to distributions declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings, as if all of the earnings or loss for the period had been distributed. In periods with undistributed earnings above certain levels, the calculation according to the two-class method results in an increased allocation of undistributed earnings to the general partner and a dilution of the earnings to the limited partners. Due to the seasonality of the propane business, the dilution effect of the guidance on the two-class method typically impacts only the three months ending January 31. There was neither a dilutive effect resulting from this guidance on basic and diluted net earnings (loss) per common unitholders' interest for the three months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011, nor for the nine months ended April 30, 2012 and 2011.</font></p> <p style="text-align: left;"><font style="font-family: ArialMT,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" class="_mt" size="2">In periods with net losses, the allocation of the net losses to the limited partners and the general partner will be determined based on the same allocation basis specified in the Ferrellgas Partners' partnership agreement that would apply to periods in which there were no undistributed earnings.

Based on the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280 – "Segment Reporting" and ASC 350 – "Intangibles – Goodwill and other," Ferrellgas has determined that it has three reporting units for goodwill impairment testing purposes. Two of these reporting units contain goodwill that is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value-based test. Under this test, the carrying value of each reporting unit is determined by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the date of the evaluation on a specific identification basis. To the extent a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit's goodwill may be impaired and the second step of the impairment test must be performed. In the second step, the implied fair value of the goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of all of its assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities to it carrying amount. Ferrellgas has completed the impairment test for each of its reporting units and believes that estimated fair values exceed the carrying values of its reporting units as of January 31, 2012.</font></p></div> </div>

The new guidance applies to all reporting entities that are required or permitted to measure or disclose the fair value of an asset, liability or an instrument classified in shareholders' equity. Among other things, the new guidance requires quantitative information about unobservable inputs, valuation processes and sensitivity analysis associated with fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The new guidance applies to all reporting entities that are required or permitted to measure or disclose the fair value of an asset, liability or an instrument classified in shareholders' equity. Among other things, the new guidance requires quantitative information about unobservable inputs, valuation processes and sensitivity analysis associated with fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.

Based on the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280 – "Segment Reporting" and ASC 350 – "Intangibles – Goodwill and other," Ferrellgas has determined that it has three reporting units for goodwill impairment testing purposes. Two of these reporting units contain goodwill that is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value-based test. Under this test, the carrying value of each reporting unit is determined by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the date of the evaluation on a specific identification basis. To the extent a reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting unit's goodwill may be impaired and the second step of the impairment test must be performed. In the second step, the implied fair value of the goodwill is determined by allocating the fair value of all of its assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities to it carrying amount. Ferrellgas has completed the impairment test for each of its reporting units and believes that estimated fair values exceed the carrying values of its reporting units as of January 31, 2012.</font></p></div> </div>

Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates impacting the condensed consolidated financial statements include accruals that have been established for contingent liabilities, pending claims and legal actions arising in the normal course of business, useful lives of property, plant and equipment assets, residual values of tanks, capitalization of customer tank installation costs, amortization methods of intangible assets, valuation methods used to value sales returns and allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, fair value of reporting units, fair values of derivative contracts and stock and unit-based compensation calculations.</font></p></div> <div> <p style="text-align: left;"><b><font style="font-family: Arial-BoldMT,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" class="_mt" size="2">(3) Supplemental cash flow information: </font></b><font style="font-family: ArialMT,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" class="_mt" size="2">For purposes of the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, Ferrellgas, L.P. considers cash equivalents to include all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less.
