Our consolidated financial statements and the Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm’s Reports thereon and the Supplementary Financial Information listed on the accompanying Index to Financial Statements and Financial Statement Schedules are hereby incorporated by reference. See Note O — Quarterly data (unaudited) — to our consolidated financial statements for Selected Quarterly Financial Data.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

An evaluation was performed by the management of Ferrellgas Partners, L.P., Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp., Ferrellgas, L.P., and Ferrellgas Finance Corp., with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our general partner, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, were effective.

The management of Ferrellgas Partners, L.P., Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp., Ferrellgas, L.P., and Ferrellgas Finance Corp. does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Based on the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the above mentioned Partnerships and Corporations have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Therefore, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide such reasonable assurances of achieving our desired control objectives, and the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our general partner have concluded, as of July 31, 2009, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in achieving that level of reasonable assurance.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of Ferrellgas Partners, L.P., Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp., Ferrellgas, L.P. and Ferrellgas Finance Corp. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control — Integrated Framework, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of July 31, 2009.

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting for Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. and Ferrellgas, L.P., as of July 31, 2009, has been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their reports which are included herein.

During the most recent fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2009, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a—15(f) or Rule 15d—15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Partners of

Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. and Subsidiaries

Overland Park, Kansas

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. and subsidiaries (the “Partnership”) as of July 31, 2009, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The Partnership’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the company’s principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the company’s board of directors, management, and other personnel to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of the inherent limitations of internal control over financial reporting, including the possibility of collusion or improper management override of controls, material misstatements due to error or fraud may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Also, projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of the internal control over financial reporting to future periods are subject to the risk that the controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Partnership maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of July 31, 2009, based on the criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules as of and for the year ended July 31, 2009 of the Partnership and our report dated September 28, 2009 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements and financial statement schedules.

To the Partners of
Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. and Subsidiaries
Overland Park, Kansas

FERRELLGAS PARTNERS, L.P.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, except per unit data, unless otherwise designated)

A. Partnership organization and formation

Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (“Ferrellgas Partners”) was formed on April 19, 1994, and is a publicly traded limited partnership, owning an approximate 99% limited partner interest in Ferrellgas, L.P. (the “operating partnership”). Ferrellgas Partners and the operating partnership, collectively referred to as “Ferrellgas,” are both Delaware limited partnerships and are governed by their respective partnership agreements. Ferrellgas Partners was formed to acquire and hold a limited partner interest in the operating partnership. The operating partnership was formed to acquire, own and operate the propane business and assets of Ferrellgas, Inc. (“general partner”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ferrell Companies, Inc. (“Ferrell Companies”). As of July 31, 2009, Ferrell Companies beneficially owns 20.3 million of Ferrellgas Partners’ outstanding common units. The general partner has retained a 1% general partner interest in Ferrellgas Partners and also holds an approximate 1% general partner interest in the operating partnership, representing an effective 2% general partner interest in Ferrellgas on a combined basis. As general partner, it performs all management functions required by Ferrellgas.

Ferrellgas Partners owns a 100% equity interest in Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp., whose only business activity is to act as the co-issuer and co-obligor of any debt issued by Ferrellgas Partners.

Ferrell Companies is wholly-owned by a leveraged employee stock ownership trust (“ESOT”) established pursuant to the Ferrell Companies Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). The purpose of the ESOP is to provide employees of the general partner an opportunity for ownership in Ferrell Companies and indirectly in Ferrellgas. As contributions are made by Ferrell Companies to the ESOT in the future, shares of Ferrell Companies are allocated to the employees’ ESOP accounts.

Ferrellgas Partners’ partnership agreement includes an agreement with Ferrell Companies concerning the distribution priority on common units owned by public investors over those owned by Ferrell Companies. This provision extends to April 30, 2010 and allows Ferrellgas Partners to defer distributions on the common units held by Ferrell Companies up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $36.0 million. There have been no deferrals to date.

B. Summary of significant accounting policies

(1) Nature of operations: Ferrellgas Partners is a holding entity that conducts no operations and has two subsidiaries, Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp. and the operating partnership. The operating partnership is the only operating subsidiary of Ferrellgas Partners.

The operating partnership is engaged primarily in the distribution of propane and related equipment and supplies in the United States. The propane distribution market is seasonal because propane is used primarily for heating in residential and commercial buildings. The operating partnership serves approximately one million residential, industrial/commercial, portable tank exchange, agricultural, wholesale and other customers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

(2) Accounting estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

F-7

Table of Contents

Significant estimates impacting the 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, financial derivative contracts and stock and unit-based compensation calculations.

(3) Principles of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include Ferrellgas Partners’ accounts and those of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp., and the operating partnership, its majority-owned subsidiary, after elimination of all material intercompany accounts and transactions. The accounts of Ferrellgas Partners’ majority-owned subsidiary are included based on the determination that Ferrellgas Partners will absorb a majority of the operating partnership’s expected losses, receive a majority of the operating partnership’s expected residual returns and is the operating partnership’s primary beneficiary. The operating partnership includes the accounts of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The general partner’s approximate 1% general partner interest in the operating partnership is accounted for as a minority interest. The wholly-owned unconsolidated subsidiary of the operating partnership, Ferrellgas Receivables, LLC (“Ferrellgas Receivables”), is a special purpose entity.

(4) Cash and cash equivalents and non-cash activities: For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, Ferrellgas considers cash equivalents to include all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less. Significant non-cash activities are presented below:

	For the year ended July 31,
	2009		2008		2007
CASH PAID FOR:
Interest	$	83,107	$	88,380	$	87,035
Income taxes	$	1,512	$	3,841	$	3,742
NON-CASH INVESTING ACTIVITIES:
Issuance of common units in connection with acquisitions	$	5,465	$	—	$	2,751
Issuance of liabilities in connection with acquisitions	$	1,673	$	—	$	2,426
Property, plant and equipment additions	$	973	$	1,970	$	1,187

(5) Accounts receivable securitization: Ferrellgas has agreements to transfer, on an ongoing basis, a portion of its trade accounts receivable through Ferrellgas Receivables, an accounts receivable securitization facility that is a wholly-owned unconsolidated special purpose entity. Ferrellgas retains servicing responsibilities as well as a retained interest in the transferred receivables. Ferrellgas also holds a note receivable from Ferrellgas Receivables to the extent that expected cash proceeds from the sales of accounts receivable to Ferrellgas Receivables have not been received. Ferrellgas has no other continuing involvement with the transferred receivables, other than servicing the receivables. The related receivables are transferred from the consolidated balance sheets and a retained interest and note receivable are recorded for the amount of receivables sold in excess of cash received and a related loss on the transfer is recorded, which represents the discount on the sale. The retained interest and note receivable are included in “Accounts and notes receivable, net” in the consolidated balance sheets.

Ferrellgas determines the fair value of its retained interest and note receivable based on the present value of future expected cash flows using management’s best estimates of various factors, including credit loss experience and discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. These assumptions

F-8

Table of Contents

are updated periodically based on actual results; therefore, the estimated credit loss and discount rates utilized are materially consistent with historical performance. Due to the short-term nature of Ferrellgas’ trade receivables, variations in the credit and discount assumptions would not significantly impact the fair value of the retained interests and note receivable. Costs associated with the sale of receivables are included in “Loss on disposal of assets and other” in the consolidated statements of earnings. See Note F — Accounts and notes receivable, net and accounts receivable securitization — for further discussion of these transactions.

(6) Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using weighted average cost and actual cost methods.

(7) Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and routine repairs are expensed as incurred. Ferrellgas capitalizes computer software, equipment replacement and betterment expenditures that upgrade, replace or completely rebuild major mechanical components and extend the original useful life of the equipment. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from two to 30 years. Ferrellgas, using its best estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of its assets might not be recoverable. See Note E — Supplemental financial statement information — for further discussion of property, plant and equipment.

(8) Goodwill: Ferrellgas records goodwill as the excess of the cost of acquisitions over the fair value of the related net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually on January 31, or more frequently if circumstances dictate, and if impaired, written off against earnings at that time. Ferrellgas has not recognized any impairment losses as a result of these tests. For purposes of Ferrellgas’ goodwill impairment test, Ferrellgas has determined that it has one reporting unit. Ferrellgas assesses the carrying value of goodwill at its reporting unit based on an estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit. Fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using a market value approach taking into consideration the quoted market price of Ferrellgas’ common units.

(9) Intangible assets: Intangible assets with finite useful lives, consisting primarily of customer lists, non-compete agreements and patented technology, are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization calculated using the straight-line method over periods ranging from two to 15 years. Trade names and trademarks have indefinite lives, are not amortized, and are stated at cost. Ferrellgas tests finite-lived intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets might not be recoverable. Ferrellgas tests indefinite- lived intangible assets for impairment annually on January 31 or more frequently if circumstances dictate. Ferrellgas has not recognized impairment losses as a result of these tests. When necessary, intangible assets’ useful lives are revised and the impact on amortization reflected on a prospective basis. See Note G — Goodwill and intangible assets, net — for further discussion of intangible assets.

(10) Derivatives and hedging activities: Ferrellgas’ overall objective for entering into derivative contracts, including commodity options and swaps, is to hedge a portion of its exposure to market fluctuations in propane prices. These financial instruments are formally designated and documented as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, as well as the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. Because of the high degree of correlation between the hedging instrument and the underlying exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instrument are generally offset by changes in the anticipated cash flows of the underlying exposure being hedged. The fair value of these derivatives fluctuates over the length of the contracts. These fair value amounts should not be viewed in isolation, but rather in relation to the anticipated cash flows of the underlying hedged transaction and the overall reduction in our risk relating to adverse fluctuations

F-9

Table of Contents

in propane prices. Ferrellgas formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in the anticipated cash flows of the related underlying exposures. Any ineffective portion of a financial instrument’s change in fair value is recognized in “Cost of product sold - propane and other gas liquids sales” in the consolidated statements of earnings. Ferrellgas also enters into derivative contracts that qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales exception under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”), as amended. Financial instruments formally designated and documented as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure are recorded gross at fair value as either “Price risk management assets” or “Other current liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value reported in other comprehensive income.

(11) Revenue recognition: Revenues from the distribution of propane and other gas liquids, including revenues from customer deposits and advances, are recognized by Ferrellgas at the time product is delivered to its customers. Other revenues, which include revenue from the sale of propane appliances and equipment is recognized at the time of delivery or installation. Revenues from repairs and maintenance are recognized upon completion of the service. Ferrellgas recognizes shipping and handling revenues and expenses for sales of propane, appliances and equipment at the time of delivery or installation. Shipping and handling revenues are included in the price of propane charged to customers, and are classified as revenue. Revenues from annually billed, non-refundable tank rentals are recognized on a straight-line basis over one year. Cooperative advertising program costs are recorded as a reduction to our revenue.

(12) Shipping and handling expenses: Shipping and handling expenses related to delivery personnel, vehicle repair and maintenance and general liability expenses are classified within “Operating expense” in the consolidated statements of earnings. Depreciation expenses on delivery vehicles Ferrellgas owns are classified within “Depreciation and amortization expense.” Delivery vehicles and distribution technology leased by Ferrellgas are classified within “Equipment lease expense.” See Note E — Supplemental financial statement information — for the financial statement presentation of shipping and handling expenses.

(13) Cost of product sold: “Cost of product sold — propane and other gas liquids sales” includes all costs to acquire propane and other gas liquids, the costs of storing and transporting inventory prior to delivery to Ferrellgas’ customers, the results from risk management activities to hedge related price risk and the costs related to the refurbishment of Ferrellgas’ portable propane tanks. “Cost of product sold — other” primarily includes costs related to the sale of propane appliances and equipment.

(14) Operating expenses: “Operating expense” primarily includes the personnel, vehicle, delivery, handling, plant, office, selling, marketing, credit and collections and other expenses related to the retail distribution of propane and related equipment and supplies.

(15) General and administrative expenses: “General and administrative expense” primarily includes personnel and incentive expense related to executives and employees and other overhead expense related to centralized corporate functions.

(16) Unit and stock-based compensation:

Ferrellgas Unit Option Plan (“UOP”)

F-10

Table of Contents

of the general partner may acquire more than 314,895 common units under the UOP. In general, the options currently outstanding under the UOP vest over a five-year period, and expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of the grant. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option valuation model. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of Ferrellgas’ publicly-traded common units. Historical information is used to estimate option exercise and employee termination behavior. Due to the limited number of employees eligible to participate in the UOP, there is only one group of employees. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical exercise patterns and represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. The risk free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. During the year ended July 31, 2009, the portion of the total non-cash compensation charge relating to the UOP was $15 thousand and related to fiscal 2009 grants of unit options to acquire 0.3 million common units. During the years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, no compensation charge relating to the UOP was recognized as all options outstanding at that time were fully vested.

Ferrell Companies, Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan (“ICP”)

The ICP is not a Ferrellgas stock-compensation plan; however, in accordance with Ferrellgas’ partnership agreements, all employee-related costs incurred by Ferrell Companies are allocated to Ferrellgas. As a result, Ferrellgas incurs a non-cash compensation charge from Ferrell Companies. During the years ended July 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the portion of the total non-cash compensation charge relating to the ICP was $2.3 million, $1.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Ferrell Companies is authorized to issue options covering up to 6.25 million shares of Ferrell Companies common stock under the ICP. The ICP was established by Ferrell Companies to allow upper middle and senior level managers of the general partner to participate in the equity growth of Ferrell Companies. The shares underlying the stock options are common shares of Ferrell Companies; therefore, there is no earnings per share dilution of Ferrellgas. The ICP stock options vest ratably over periods ranging from zero to 12 years or 100% upon a change of control of Ferrell Companies, or upon the death, disability or retirement at the age of 65 of the participant. Vested options are exercisable in increments based on the timing of the retirement of Ferrell Companies’ debt, but in no event later than 20 years from the date of issuance. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option valuation model.

(17) Income taxes: Ferrellgas Partners is a publicly-traded master limited partnership with one subsidiary that is a taxable corporation. The operating partnership is a limited partnership with four subsidiaries that are taxable corporations. Partnerships are generally not subject to federal income tax, although publicly-traded partnerships are treated as corporations for federal income tax purposes and therefore subject to Federal income tax unless a qualifying income test is satisfied. If this qualifying income test is satisfied, the publicly-traded partnership will be treated as a partnership for Federal income tax purposes. Based on Ferrellgas’ calculations, Ferrellgas Partners satisfies the qualifying income test. As a result, except for the taxable corporations, Ferrellgas Partners’ earnings or losses for Federal income tax purposes are included in the tax returns of the individual partners, Ferrellgas Partners’ unitholders. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Ferrellgas Partners reflect federal income taxes related to the above mentioned taxable corporations only. Recent legislation in certain states of operation allows for taxation of partnerships. As such, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Ferrellgas Partners also reflect state income taxes resulting from this legislation. Net earnings for financial statement purposes may differ significantly from taxable income reportable to Ferrellgas Partners unitholders as a result of differences between the tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities, the taxable income allocation requirements under Ferrellgas Partners’ partnership agreement and differences between Ferrellgas Partners financial reporting year end and its calendar tax year end.

On July 12, 2007, the governor of the state of Michigan signed into law a new Michigan Business Tax (the “MBT Act”), which provided a comprehensive restructuring of Michigan’s principal business tax regime. The main provision of the MBT Act imposed a new two-part tax on business income and modified gross receipts that is accounted for as an income tax in accordance with SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). Although the effective date of the MBT was January 1, 2008, SFAS 109 required all effects of a tax law change be accounted for in the period of the law’s enactment. As a result, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 Ferrellgas recognized a one time increase in its deferred tax expense of $2.8 million. During fiscal 2008, the Governor of the State of Michigan signed into law a one-time credit for this Michigan Business Tax law. The passing of this new tax law caused Ferrellgas to recognize a one time deferred tax benefit of $2.8 million during fiscal 2008.

(18) Sales taxes: Ferrellgas accounts for the collection and remittance of sales tax on a net tax basis. As a result, these amounts are not reflected in the consolidated statements of earnings.

(19) Net earnings per common unit: Net earnings per common unit is computed by dividing net earnings, after deducting the general partner’s 1% interest, by the weighted average number of outstanding common units and the dilutive effect, if any, of outstanding unit options. See Note N — Earnings per common unit — for further discussion about these calculations.

(20) Segment information: Ferrellgas is a single reportable operating segment engaging in the distribution of propane and related equipment and supplies to customers primarily in the United States.

(21) New accounting standards: SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events” provides guidance on management’s assessment of subsequent events and clarifies that management must evaluate, as of each reporting period, events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date through the date that the financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. The adoption of this statement during fiscal 2009 did not have a significant impact on Ferrellgas’ financial position or results of operations. See additional disclosures relating to subsequent events in Note P — Subsequent events.

SFAS No. 166, “Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 140” amends the derecognition guidance in SFAS No. 140 to improve the accounting for transfers of financial assets. This statement is effective for financial asset transfers that occur in fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. Ferrellgas is currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement.

F-12

Table of Contents

SFAS No. 167, “Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)” amends the consolidation guidance that applies to variable interest entities and will significantly affect the overall consolidation analysis under FASB Interpretation 46(R). This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. Ferrellgas is currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement.

SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, a Replacement of FASB Statement No. 162” establishes the authoritative reference for nongovernmental U.S. GAAP and modifies the previous four-level GAAP hierarchy to include only two levels. This statement is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. Ferrellgas does not expect the adoption of this statement in fiscal 2010 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment to FASB Statement No. 133” enhances disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The adoption of this statement during fiscal 2009 did not have a significant impact on Ferrellgas’ financial position or results of operations. See additional disclosures relating to commodity derivative and financial derivative transactions in Note J — Derivatives.

SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The adoption of this statement during fiscal 2009 did not have a significant impact on Ferrellgas’ financial position or results of operations. See disclosure of Ferrellgas’ fair value measurements commodity derivative and financial derivative transactions in Note J — Derivatives.

SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” provides entities the irrevocable option to elect to carry most financial assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. The adoption of this statement was effective August 1, 2008; however, Ferrellgas has not elected the fair value option for any of its financial assets or liabilities.

SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations” (a replacement of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, how the acquirer recognizes and measures goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase (formerly negative goodwill) and how the acquirer determines what information to disclose. This statement is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Ferrellgas does not expect the adoption of this statement in fiscal 2010 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (formerly minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary and it clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity. This statement is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Ferrellgas does not expect the adoption of this statement in fiscal 2010 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) SFAS 140-4 and FASB Interpretation No. 46R-8 “Disclosures by Public Entities (Enterprises) about Transfers of Financial Assets and Interests in Variable Interest Entities” improves the transparency of transfers of financial assets and an enterprise’s involvement with variable interest entities, including qualifying special-purpose entities. The adoption of this FSP during fiscal 2009 did not have a significant impact on Ferrellgas’ financial position or results of operations.

EITF No. 07-4, “Application of the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, to Master Limited Partnerships” addresses the computation of incentive distribution rights and the appropriate allocation of these rights to current period earnings in the computation of earnings per share. This statement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Ferrellgas does not expect the adoption of this statement in fiscal 2010 to have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.

C. Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for under the purchase method and the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair market values as of the acquisition dates. The results of operations are included in the consolidated statements of earnings from the date of acquisition. The pro forma effect of these transactions was not material to Ferrellgas’ results of operations.

During fiscal 2009, Ferrellgas acquired propane distribution assets with an aggregate value of $10.0 million in the following four transactions:

· Lorensen Propane Gas, Inc., based in California, acquired September 2008;

· HBH Gas Systems, LLC — Austin’s Colony Phase 5, based in Texas, acquired September 2008;

· Ottawa Cooperative, based in Kansas, acquired May 2009; and

· Town & Country Propane, Inc, based in Missouri, acquired July 2009.

These acquisitions were funded by $2.7 million in cash payments, the issuances of $1.8 million of liabilities and other costs and considerations, and $5.5 million of common units, net of issuance costs.

The aggregate fair values of these four transactions were allocated as follows:

Customer tanks, buildings, land and other	$	3,031
Non-compete agreements	1,438
Customer lists	5,475
Working capital	6
	$	9,950

The estimated fair values and useful lives of assets acquired are based on a preliminary internal valuation and are subject to final valuation adjustments. Ferrellgas intends to continue its analysis of the net assets of these transactions to determine the final allocation of the total purchase price to the various assets and liabilities acquired.

During fiscal 2008, Ferrellgas had no acquisitions of propane distribution assets.

During fiscal 2007, Ferrellgas acquired propane distribution assets with an aggregate value of $36.2 million in the following nine transactions:

· Pacer-Valley Propane, LLC, based in California, acquired August 2006;

· Lake Propane, based in California, acquired August 2006;

· Pacific Propane Service, Inc., based in California, acquired August 2006;

· Twin Ports Energy, Inc., based in Wisconsin, acquired October 2006;

· Getman’s Gas Company, Inc., based in New York, acquired October 2006;

· Yankee Gas, LLC, based in Massachusetts, acquired October 2006;

· Great Dane Propane, Inc., based in Florida, acquired October 2006;

F-14

Table of Contents

· Puget Sound Propane, based in Washington, acquired December 2006; and

· Reliance Bottle Gas, Inc., based in Ohio, acquired June 2007.

These acquisitions were funded by $31.7 million in cash payments, the issuances of $2.5 million of liabilities and other costs and considerations, and $2.0 million of common units, net of issuance costs.

The aggregate fair values of these nine transactions were allocated as follows:

Customer tanks, buildings, land and other	$	11,567
Non-compete agreements	2,072
Customer lists	18,178
Goodwill	3,649
Working capital	712
	$	36,178

The fair values and useful lives of assets acquired are based on an internal valuation and included only minor final valuation adjustments during the 12 month period after the date of acquisition.

D. Quarterly distributions of available cash

Ferrellgas Partners makes quarterly cash distributions of all of its “available cash.” Available cash is defined in the partnership agreement of Ferrellgas Partners as, generally, the sum of its consolidated cash receipts less consolidated cash disbursements and net changes in reserves established by the general partner for future requirements. Reserves are retained in order to provide for the proper conduct of Ferrellgas Partners’ business, or to provide funds for distributions with respect to any one or more of the next four fiscal quarters. Distributions are made within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter ending October, January, April and July to holders of record on the applicable record date.

Distributions by Ferrellgas Partners in an amount equal to 100% of its available cash, as defined in its partnership agreement, will be made to the common unitholders and the general partner. Additionally, the payment of incentive distributions to the holders of incentive distribution rights will be made to the extent that certain target levels of cash distributions are achieved.

The publicly held common units have certain distribution preference rights over the common units held by Ferrell Companies. Ferrell Companies has granted Ferrellgas Partners the ability to defer future distributions on the common units held by it up to an aggregate outstanding amount of $36.0 million. This distribution deferral agreement, which has not been utilized, expires April 30, 2010. The ability to defer distributions to Ferrell Companies provides Ferrellgas Partners’ public common unitholders distribution support. This distribution support is available if Ferrellgas Partners’ available cash for any fiscal quarter is insufficient to pay all of the common unitholders their quarterly distribution. Ferrellgas Partners would first pay a distribution to the publicly-held common units. Any remaining available cash would then be used to pay a distribution on the common units held by Ferrell Companies. Any quarterly distribution paid per unit to the publicly-held common units that is not able to be paid on the Ferrell Companies-owned common units would be deferred, within certain limits, and paid to Ferrell Companies in future quarters when available cash is sufficient. If insufficient available cash should exist for a particular quarter, or any previous deferred distributions to Ferrell Companies remain outstanding, the distribution declared per common unit may not be more than the highest quarterly distribution paid on the common units for any of the immediately preceding four fiscal quarters. If the cumulative amount of deferred quarterly distributions to Ferrell Companies were to reach $36.0 million, the common units held by Ferrell Companies would then be paid in the same priority as the publicly-held common units. After payment of all required distributions for any subsequent period, Ferrellgas Partners would use any remaining available cash to reduce any amount previously deferred on the

F-15

common units held by Ferrell Companies. Reductions in amounts previously deferred, if any, would then again be available for future deferrals to Ferrell Companies through April 30, 2010.

During April 2009, Ferrellgas renewed its accounts receivable securitization facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., JS Siloed Trust and Fifth Third Bank for an additional 364-day commitment. As part of this renewed facility, the operating partnership transfers a portion of its trade accounts receivable to Ferrellgas Receivables, which finances its acquisition of the trade receivable assets by issuing beneficial interests in (securitizing) the receivables to a commercial paper conduit for proceeds of up to $145.0 million. The operating partnership does not provide any guarantee or similar support to the collectability of these receivables. The operating partnership structured the facility using a wholly-owned, unconsolidated special purpose entity in order to facilitate the transaction while complying with Ferrellgas’ various debt covenants. If the covenants are compromised, funding from the facility could be restricted or suspended, or its costs could increase. As a servicer, the operating partnership remits daily to this special purpose entity funds collected on the trade receivables held by Ferrellgas Receivables.

The operating partnership transfers a portion of its trade accounts receivable to Ferrellgas Receivables and retains an interest and a note receivable related to these transferred receivables. As these transferred receivables are subsequently collected, the funding from the accounts receivable securitization facility is reduced. Ferrellgas Receivables recorded the following on its balance sheet:

F-17

	2009		2008
Trade accounts receivable transferred from the operating partnership	$	118,982	$	97,333

Note payable to the operating partnership	$	52,038	$	—

The operating partnership’s consolidated balance sheets do not include trade accounts receivables transferred, but do include a note receivable from Ferrellgas Receivables which represents expected cash proceeds from the sale of accounts receivable to Ferrellgas Receivables that have not yet been received. As of July 31, 2009, the operating partnership had received proceeds from trade accounts receivable sales of $37.0 million with the ability to receive proceeds of an additional $4.0 million.

Other accounts receivable securitization activity consists of the following:

Net non-cash activity	$	8,033	$	6,430	$	2,964
Bad debt expense	$	600	$	—	$	202

The net non-cash activity reported in “Loss on disposal of assets and other” in the consolidated statements of earnings approximates the financing cost of issuing commercial paper backed by these accounts receivable transferred to Ferrellgas Receivables. See details of the net non-cash activity disclosed in Note E — Supplemental financial statement information — “Loss on transfer of accounts receivable related to the accounts receivable securitization” and “Service income related to the accounts receivable securitization.” The weighted average discount rate used to value the retained interest in the transferred receivables was 3.6% and 4.65% as of July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

H. Debt

Short-term borrowings

Ferrellgas classified a portion of its unsecured credit facility due April 2010 borrowings as short-term because it was used to fund working capital needs that management had intended to pay down within the 12 month period following each balance sheet date. As of July 31, 2009 and 2008, $66.2 million and $125.7 million, respectively, were classified as short-term borrowings. For further discussion see the unsecured credit facility section below.

Unsecured credit facility

Ferrellgas’ $448.0 million unsecured credit facility matures April 22, 2010. Borrowings under this facility are available for working capital, acquisition, capital expenditure, long-term debt repayment, and general partnership purposes. The credit facility has a letter of credit sub-facility with availability of up to $150.0 million.

As of July 31, 2009 and 2008, Ferrellgas had total borrowings outstanding under this unsecured credit facility due April 2010 of $154.7 million and $361.0 million, respectively, of which $88.5 million and $235.3 million, respectively, were classified as long-term debt. See footnote P — Subsequent events for a discussion of the classification of this portion of the unsecured credit facility as long term.

Borrowings under the unsecured credit facility due April 2010 had a weighed average interest rate of 2.19% and 4.72% at July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. These borrowings bear interest, at Ferrellgas’ option, at a rate equal to either:

· the base rate, which is defined as the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or Bank of America’s prime rate (as of July 31, 2009, the federal funds rate and Bank of America’s prime rate were 0.18% and 3.25%, respectively); or

· the Eurodollar Rate plus a margin varying from 1.50% to 2.50% (as of July 31, 2009, the one-month and three-month Eurodollar Rates were 0.45% and 0.75%, respectively).

In addition, an annual commitment fee is payable on the daily unused portion of the unsecured credit facility due April 2010 at a per annum rate varying from 0.375% to 0.500% (as of July 31, 2009, the commitment fee per annum rate was 0.375%).

Letters of credit outstanding at July 31, 2009 totaled $44.4 million and were used primarily to secure insurance arrangements and to a lesser extent, product purchases. Letters of credit outstanding at July 31, 2008 totaled $42.3 million and were used primarily for insurance arrangements. At July 31, 2009, Ferrellgas had available letter of credit remaining capacity of $105.6 million. Ferrellgas incurred commitment fees of $0.9 million, $0.4 million and $0.6 million in fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

During May 2007, the operating partnership entered into a new unsecured credit facility with additional borrowing capacity of up to $150.0 million, which was scheduled to mature on August 1, 2009. During April 2009, Ferrellgas terminated this facility and paid down its total borrowings outstanding of $95.0 million using borrowing capacity available under the unsecured credit facility due April 2010.

During April 2008, Ferrellgas amended its unsecured credit facility due April 2010, increasing its borrowing capacity by $73.0 million and bringing its total borrowing capacity to $448.0 million.

During October 2008, Ferrellgas amended its unsecured credit facility due April 2010 increasing the letter of credit sublimit from $90.0 million to $200.0 million through February 28, 2009 and to $150.0 million thereafter. The letter of credit sublimit is part of, and not in addition to, the aggregate credit facility commitment. The amendment also requires Ferrellgas to cash collateralize any outstanding letter of credit obligations in an amount equal to the pro rata share of any defaulting lender.

See Note P — Subsequent events for further discussion about the unsecured credit facility due April 2010 and its replacement with a new secured credit facility.

Covenants

The senior notes and the unsecured credit facility due April 2010 agreement contain various restrictive covenants applicable to Ferrellgas and its subsidiaries, the most restrictive relating to additional indebtedness. In addition, Ferrellgas Partners is prohibited from making cash distributions of the

F-21

Table of Contents

minimum quarterly distribution if a default or event of default exists or would exist upon making such distribution, or if Ferrellgas fails to meet certain coverage tests. As of July 31, 2009, Ferrellgas is in compliance with all requirements, tests, limitations and covenants related to these debt agreements.

The scheduled annual principal payments on long-term debt are as follows:

For the year ended July 31,	Scheduled annual principal payments
2010	$	1,422
2011	1,271
2012	269,191
2013	25,131
2014	450,621
Thereafter	290,527
Total	$	1,038,163

See Note P — Subsequent events for discussion about the classification of long-term debt maturities.

The carrying amount of short-term financial instruments approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of Ferrellgas’ long-term debt was $1,045.9 million and $1,098.4 million as of July 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The fair value is estimated based on quoted market prices.

I. Partners’ capital

As of July 31, 2009 and 2008, limited partner units were beneficially owned by the following:

	2009	2008
Third parties (1)	43,555,614	38,300,533
Ferrell Companies (2)	20,080,776	20,080,776
FCI Trading Corp. (3)	195,686	195,686
Ferrell Propane, Inc. (4)	51,204	51,204
James E. Ferrell (5)	4,353,475	4,333,475

(1) These common units are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “FGP.”

(2) Ferrell Companies is the owner of the general partner and a 29% owner of Ferrellgas’ common units and thus a related party.

(3) FCI Trading Corp. (“FCI Trading”) is an affiliate of the general partner and thus a related party.

(4) Ferrell Propane, Inc. (“Ferrell Propane”) is controlled by the general partner and thus a related party.

(5) James E. Ferrell (“Mr. Ferrell”) is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the general partner and thus a related party.

Together these limited partner units represent Ferrellgas Partner’s limited partners’ interest and an effective 98% economic interest in Ferrellgas Partners, exclusive of the general partners’ incentive distribution rights. The general partner has an effective 2% interest in Ferrellgas Partners, excluding incentive distribution rights. Since ongoing distributions have not yet reached the levels required to commence payment of incentive distribution rights to the general partner, distributions to the partners from operations or interim capital transactions will generally be made in accordance with the above percentages. In liquidation, allocations and distributions will be made in accordance with each common unitholder’s positive capital account.

The common units of Ferrellgas Partners represent limited partner interests in Ferrellgas Partners, which give the holders thereof the right to participate in distributions made by Ferrellgas Partners and to

exercise the other rights or privileges available to such holders under the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. dated February 18, 2003 (the “Partnership Agreement”). Under the terms of the Partnership Agreement, holders of common units have limited voting rights on matters affecting the business of Ferrellgas Partners. Generally, persons owning 20% or more of Ferrellgas Partners’ outstanding common units cannot vote; however, this limitation does not apply to those common units owned by the general partner or its “affiliates,” as such term is defined in the Partnership Agreement.

Ferrellgas maintains shelf registration statements for the issuance of common units, and other securities that may include deferred participation units, warrants and debt securities. The Partnership Agreement allows the general partner to issue an unlimited number of additional Ferrellgas general and limited partner interests and other equity securities of Ferrellgas Partners for such consideration and on such terms and conditions as shall be established by the general partner without the approval of any unitholders.

Common unit issuances

In February 2009, Ferrellgas completed a registered public offering of 5.0 million common units representing limited partner interests. This transaction was comprised of both an original offering of 4.5 million common units and an over allotment offering of 0.5 million common units. The net proceeds received from this offering of $69.4 million were used to reduce long term borrowings under Ferrellgas’ unsecured credit facility.

During fiscal 2009, Ferrellgas issued 0.3 million common units valued at $5.5 million in connection with acquisitions.

See Note J — Derivatives — for details regarding changes in fair value on risk management financial derivatives recorded within OCI for the year ended July 31, 2009.

J. Derivatives

Commodity Price Risk Management

Ferrellgas’ risk management activities primarily attempt to mitigate price risks related to the purchase, storage, transport and sale of propane generally in the contract and spot markets from major domestic energy companies on a short-term basis. Ferrellgas attempts to mitigate these price risks through the use of financial derivative instruments and forward propane purchase and sales contracts.

Ferrellgas’ risk management strategy involves taking positions in the forward or financial markets that are equal and opposite to Ferrellgas’ positions in the physical products market in order to minimize the risk of financial loss from an adverse price change. This risk management strategy is successful when Ferrellgas’ gains or losses in the physical product markets are offset by its losses or gains in the forward or financial markets. These financial derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges.

Ferrellgas’ risk management activities include the use of financial derivative instruments including, but not limited to, price swaps, options, futures and basis swaps to seek protection from adverse price movements and to minimize potential losses. Ferrellgas enters into these financial derivative instruments directly with third parties in the over-the-counter market and with brokers who are clearing members with the New York Mercantile Exchange. Ferrellgas also enters into forward propane purchase and sales contracts with counterparties. These forward contracts qualify for the normal purchase normal sales exception within SFAS 133 and are therefore not recorded by Ferrellgas prior to settlement.

Cash Flow Hedging Activity

Ferrellgas uses financial derivative instruments for risk management purposes to hedge a portion of its exposure to market fluctuations in propane prices. These financial derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedging instruments, thus the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the financial derivatives are recorded in OCI prior to settlement and are subsequently recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings in “Cost of goods sold — propane and other gas liquids sales” when the forward or forecasted propane sales transaction impacts earnings. The effectiveness of cash flow hedges is evaluated at inception and on an on-going basis. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges due to hedge ineffectiveness, if any, are recognized in “Cost of product sold — propane and other gas liquids sales.” During the years ended July 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, Ferrellgas did not recognize any gain or loss in earnings related to hedge ineffectiveness and did not exclude any component of the financial derivative contract gain or loss from the assessment of hedge effectiveness related to these cash flow hedges.

The fair value of financial derivative instruments are classified gross on the consolidated balance sheets as “Price risk management assets” and “Other current liabilities” as follows:

F-24

Table of Contents

	2009		2008
Derivatives — Price risk management assets	$	3,391	$	26,086
Derivatives — Price risk management liabilities	$	4,380	$	7,337

Ferrellgas had the following cash flow hedge activity included in OCI in the consolidated statements of partners’ capital:

	For the year ended July 31, 2009
Fair value loss adjustment classified as OCI with offset in Price risk management assets and Price risk management liabilities	$	(186,449	)

Reclassification of net losses originally recorded within OCI to Cost of product sold — propane and other gas liquids	$	(166,711	)

The fair value losses reported above relate to the significant decrease in wholesale propane prices that occurred during fiscal 2009. Assuming a minimal change in future market prices, Ferrellgas expects to reclassify net losses of approximately $1.0 million to earnings during the next year. These net losses are expected to be offset by margins on propane sales commitments Ferrellgas has with its customers that qualify for the normal purchase normal sales exception under SFAS 133.

During the years ended July 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, Ferrellgas had no reclassifications to earnings resulting from discontinuance of any cash flow hedges arising from the probability of the original forecasted transactions not occurring within the originally specified period of time defined within the hedging relationship.

As of July 31, 2009, Ferrellgas had financial derivative contracts covering 0.7 million barrels of propane that were entered into as cash flow hedges of forward and forecasted purchases of propane.

During the year ended July 31, 2009, four counterparties represented 85% of net settled cash flow hedging positions reported in “Cost of goods sold — propane and other gas liquids sales.” During the year ended July 31, 2009, Ferrellgas neither held nor entered into financial derivative contracts that contained credit risk related contingency features.

In accordance with SFAS 157, Ferrellgas determines the fair value of its assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement by using the highest possible “Level” as defined within SFAS 157. The three levels defined by the SFAS 157 hierarchy are as follows:

· Level 1 — Quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

· Level 2 — Pricing inputs not quoted in active markets but either directly or indirectly observable.

· Level 3 — Significant inputs to pricing that have little or no transparency with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation.

Ferrellgas considers over-the-counter derivative instruments entered into directly with third parties as Level 2 valuation since the values of these derivatives are quoted by third party brokers and are on an exchange for similar transactions. The market prices used to value Ferrellgas’ derivatives have been determined using independent third party prices, readily available market information, broker quotes, and appropriate valuation techniques.

F-25

Table of Contents

At July 31, 2009 and 2008, all derivative assets and liabilities qualified for classification as Level 2 - other observable inputs as defined within SFAS 157. All financial derivatives assets and liabilities were non-trading positions.

K. Transactions with related parties

Ferrellgas has no employees and is managed and controlled by its general partner. Pursuant to Ferrellgas’ partnership agreements, the general partner is entitled to reimbursement for all direct and indirect expenses incurred or payments it makes on behalf of Ferrellgas and all other necessary or appropriate expenses allocable to Ferrellgas or otherwise reasonably incurred by its general partner in connection with operating Ferrellgas’ business. These costs primarily include compensation and benefits paid to employees of the general partner who perform services on Ferrellgas’ behalf and are reported in the consolidated statements of earnings as follows:

	For the year ended July 31,
	2009		2008		2007

Operating expense	$	217,374	$	185,576	$	202,824

General and administrative expense	$	23,801	$	27,203	$	26,542

Ferrellgas has a subleasing and a shared services agreement with Samson Dental Practice Management, LLC (“Samson”), a company wholly-owned by Mr. Ferrell. During the year ended July 31, 2009, Ferrellgas received payments totaling $0.3 million for services provided to and sublease revenue receipts from Samson. No payments were received from Samson during the years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007.

During fiscal 2009, Ferrellgas paid Fleishman-Hillard Inc. $0.2 million for marketing and communications services. Elizabeth Solberg, a member of the general partner’s board of directors, serves as the General Manager of Fleishman-Hillard Inc.

See additional discussions about transactions with related parties in Note I — Partners’ capital.

L. Contingencies and commitments

Litigation

Ferrellgas’ operations are subject to all operating hazards and risks normally incidental to handling, storing, transporting and otherwise providing for use by consumers of combustible liquids such as propane. As a result, at any given time, Ferrellgas is threatened with or named as a defendant in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Currently, Ferrellgas is not a party to any legal proceedings other than various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. It is not possible to determine the ultimate disposition of these matters; however, management is of the opinion that there are no known claims or contingent claims that are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Ferrellgas.

Ferrellgas has been named as a defendant in lawsuits filed in multiple federal and state courts that seek to certify nationwide or statewide classes. The plaintiffs in each case generally allege that Ferrellgas failed to inform consumers of the amount of propane contained in propane tanks they purchased related to its Blue Rhino branded propane tank exchange activities. The cases have generally been stayed until motions are heard regarding coordination for multidistrict treatment in a single court prior to trial. Based on Ferrellgas’ business and consumer notification practices in its Blue

F-26

Table of Contents

Rhino tank exchange operations, Ferrellgas believes that all of these claims are without merit and intends to defend the claims vigorously.

Long-term debt-related commitments

Ferrellgas has long and short-term payment obligations under agreements such as senior notes and its unsecured credit facility. See Note H — Debt — for a description of these debt obligations and a schedule of future maturities.

Operating lease commitments and buyouts

Ferrellgas leases certain property, plant and equipment under non-cancelable and cancelable operating leases. Amounts shown in the table below represent minimum lease payment obligations under Ferrellgas’ third-party leases with terms in excess of one year for the periods indicated. These arrangements include the leasing of transportation equipment, property, computer equipment and propane tanks.

Ferrellgas is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of guarantees issued after December 31, 2002. The only material guarantees Ferrellgas has are associated with residual value guarantees of operating leases. Most of the operating leases involving Ferrellgas’ transportation equipment contain residual value guarantees. These transportation equipment lease arrangements are scheduled to expire over the next seven fiscal years. Most of these arrangements provide that the fair value of the equipment will equal or exceed a guaranteed amount, or Ferrellgas will be required to pay the lessor the difference. The fair value of these residual value guarantees entered into after December 31, 2002 was $0.7 million as of July 31, 2009. Although the fair values of the underlying equipment at the end of the lease terms have historically exceeded these guaranteed amounts, the maximum potential amount of aggregate future payments Ferrellgas could be required to make under these leasing arrangements, assuming the equipment is worthless at the end of the lease term, was $10.0 million as of July 31, 2009. Ferrellgas does not know of any event, demand, commitment, trend or uncertainty that would result in a material change to these arrangements.

Operating lease buyouts represent the maximum amount Ferrellgas would pay if it were to exercise its right to buyout the assets at the end of their lease term.

The following table summarizes Ferrellgas’ contractual operating lease commitments and buyout obligations as of July 31, 2009:

	Future minimum rental and buyout amounts by fiscal year
	2010		2011		2012		2013		2014		Thereafter

Operating lease obligations	$	22,246	$	15,475	$	8,431	$	5,590	$	4,734	$	11,137
Operating lease buyouts	$	8,641	$	5,323	$	2,827	$	357	$	784	$	1,418

Certain property and equipment is leased under non-cancelable operating leases, which require fixed monthly rental payments and which expire at various dates through 2024. Rental expense under these leases totaled $38.6 million, $44.3 million, and $45.3 million for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

M. Employee benefits

Ferrellgas has no employees and is managed and controlled by its general partner. Ferrellgas assumes all liabilities, which include specific liabilities related to the following employee benefit plans for the benefit of the officers and employees of the general partner.

Ferrell Companies makes contributions to the ESOT, which causes a portion of the shares of Ferrell Companies owned by the ESOT to be allocated to employees’ accounts over time. The allocation of Ferrell Companies’ shares to employee accounts causes a non-cash compensation charge to be incurred by Ferrellgas, equivalent to the fair value of such shares allocated. This non-cash compensation charge is reported separately in Ferrellgas’ consolidated statements of earnings and thus excluded from operating and general and administrative expenses. The non-cash compensation charges were $6.8 million, $12.4 million and $11.2 million during fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Ferrellgas is not obligated to fund or make contributions to the ESOT.

The general partner and its parent, Ferrell Companies, have a defined contribution profit-sharing plan which includes both profit sharing and matching contributions. The plan covers substantially all full time employees. With the establishment of the ESOP in July 1998, Ferrellgas suspended future contributions to the profit sharing plan beginning with fiscal 1998. The plan, which qualifies under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, also provides for matching contributions under a cash or deferred arrangement based upon participant salaries and employee contributions to the plan. Matching contributions for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $2.7 million, $2.6 million, and $3.0 million, respectively.

The general partner has a defined benefit plan that provides participants who were covered under a previously terminated plan with a guaranteed retirement benefit at least equal to the benefit they would have received under the terminated plan. Until July 31, 1999, benefits under the terminated plan were determined by years of credited service and salary levels. As of July 31, 1999, years of credited service and salary levels were frozen. The general partner’s funding policy for this plan is to contribute amounts deductible for Federal income tax purposes and invest the plan assets primarily in corporate stocks and bonds, U.S. Treasury bonds and short-term cash investments. During fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 other comprehensive income and other liabilities were adjusted by $(6.0) thousand $(0.1) million and $(0.4) million, respectively.

N. Earnings per common unit

Below is a calculation of the basic and diluted net earnings available per common unit in the consolidated statements of earnings for the periods indicated. In accordance with EITF 03-6, “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share” (“EITF 03-6”), Ferrellgas calculates net earnings per limited partner unit for each period presented according to distributions declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings, as if all of the earnings 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 EITF 03-6 typically impacts only the three months ending January 31. There was not a dilutive effect from EITF 03-6 on basic net earnings per common unit for total earnings for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007.

Basic and diluted net earnings available per common unit	$	0.79	$	0.39	$	0.55

O. Quarterly data (unaudited)

The following summarized unaudited quarterly data includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which Ferrellgas considers necessary for a fair presentation. Due to the seasonality of the propane distribution industry, first and fourth quarter revenues, gross margin from propane and other gas liquids sales and net earnings are consistently less than the second and third quarter results. Other factors affecting the results of operations include competitive conditions, demand for product, timing of acquisitions, variations in the weather and fluctuations in propane prices. The sum of net earnings (loss) available to common unitholders by quarter do not equal the total net earnings available to common unitholders for the year due to the effect of EITF 03-6 on quarterly computations of earnings available to common unitholders in the second quarter of fiscal 2009 and 2008. See Note N — Earnings per common unit — for further discussion of this calculation. The sum of net earnings (loss) per common unit by quarter may not equal the net earnings (loss) per common unit for the year due to variations in the weighted average units outstanding used in computing such amounts.

P. Subsequent events

During August 2009, Ferrellgas made scheduled principal payments of $73.0 million on the 8.87% Series C senior notes using availability under its unsecured credit facility due April 2010.

During September 2009, Ferrellgas issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of new 9.125% senior notes due 2017 at an offering price equal to 98.6% of par. Ferrellgas then gave early redemption notice to the holders of its $82.0 million 7.24% series D notes due August 1, 2010 and its $70.0 million 7.42% series E notes due August 1, 2013. The principal amount of these senior notes and the related prepayment penalties are expected to be funded with the proceeds from the new senior notes offering with remaining proceeds used to reduce borrowings on Ferrellgas’ unsecured credit facility due April 2010.

During September 2009, Ferrellgas and several banks and other financial institutions executed into escrow a Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) which will be released from escrow pending certain closing conditions. The Credit Agreement is intended to replace Ferrellgas’ existing unsecured credit facility. The Credit Agreement, at closing, will provide for a $400.0 million revolving credit facility with the entire amount available for loans and with a sublimit of $200.0 million for letters of credit. The obligations under such credit facility will be secured by substantially all assets of the operating partnership, the general partner and certain subsidiaries of the operating partnership but specifically excluding (a) assets that are subject to the operating partnership’s receivables securitization facility, (b) the general partner’s equity interest in Ferrellgas Partners and (c) equity interest in certain unrestricted subsidiaries. Such obligations will also be guaranteed by the general partner and certain subsidiaries of the operating partnership. The secured revolving credit facility will mature on the third anniversary of the closing date for such facility.

During September 2009, Ferrellgas acquired Vanson, LLC, based in Michigan. The propane distribution assets acquired have an aggregate value of $45.1 million. This acquisition was funded by $36.6 million in cash payments, the issuance of $5.4 million of liabilities and other costs and considerations, and $3.1 million of common units, net of issuance costs.

Ferrellgas has evaluated events and transactions for subsequent events disclosures occurring after the balance sheet date through its Form 10-K filing on September 28, 2009 with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of

Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp.

Overland Park, Kansas

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ferrellgas Partners, L.P., referred to herein as the “Company”) as of July 31, 2009 and 2008, and the related statements of earnings, stockholder’s equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2009. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp. as of July 31, 2009 and 2008, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 2009, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

A. Formation

Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp. (the “Finance Corp.”), a Delaware corporation, was formed on March 28, 1996 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”).

The Partnership contributed $1,000 to the Finance Corp. on April 8, 1996 in exchange for 1,000 shares of common stock.

B. Commitment

On September 24, 2002, the Partnership issued $170.0 million of 8 3/4% senior notes due 2012. On December 18, 2002, the Partnership issued an additional $48.0 million of 8 3/4% senior notes due 2012. On June 10, 2004, the Partnership issued an additional $50.0 million of 8 3/4% senior notes due 2012. The Partnership may redeem some or all of the aggregate principle amount of the notes at any time on or after June 15, 2007.

The Finance Corp. has nominal assets, does not conduct any operations, has no employees and serves as co-obligor for debt securities of the Partnership.

C. Income taxes

Income taxes have been computed separately as the Finance Corp. files its own income tax return. Deferred income taxes are provided as a result of temporary differences between financial and tax reporting using the asset/liability method. Deferred income taxes are recognized for the tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities.

Due to the inability of the Finance Corp. to utilize the deferred tax benefit of $2,194 associated with the net operating loss carryforward of $5,641, which expire at various dates through July 31, 2029, a valuation allowance has been provided on the full amount of the deferred tax asset. Accordingly, there is no net deferred tax benefit for fiscal 2009, 2008 or 2007, and there is no net deferred tax asset as of July 31, 2009 and 2008.

FERRELLGAS, L.P.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise designated)

A. Partnership organization and formation

Ferrellgas, L.P. was formed on April 22, 1994, and is a Delaware limited partnership. Ferrellgas, L.P. owns and operates propane distribution and related assets. Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (“Ferrellgas Partners”), a publicly traded limited partnership, holds an approximate 99% limited partner interest in, and consolidates, Ferrellgas, L.P. Ferrellgas, Inc. (the “general partner”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ferrell Companies, Inc. (“Ferrell Companies”), holds an approximate 1% general partner interest in Ferrellgas, L.P. and performs all management functions required by Ferrellgas, L.P. Ferrellgas Partners and Ferrellgas, L.P. are governed by their respective partnership agreements. These agreements contain specific provisions for the allocation of net earnings and loss to each of the partners for purposes of maintaining the partner capital accounts.

Ferrellgas, L.P. owns a 100% equity interest in Ferrellgas Finance Corp., whose only business activity is to act as the co-issuer and co-obligor of any debt issued by Ferrellgas, L.P.

Ferrell Companies is wholly-owned by a leveraged employee stock ownership trust (“ESOT”) established pursuant to the Ferrell Companies Employee Stock Ownership Plan (“ESOP”). The purpose of the ESOP is to provide employees of the general partner an opportunity for ownership in Ferrell Companies and indirectly in Ferrellgas, L.P. As contributions are made by Ferrell Companies to the ESOT in the future, shares of Ferrell Companies are allocated to the employees’ ESOP accounts.

B. Summary of significant accounting policies

(1) Nature of operations: Ferrellgas, L.P. is engaged primarily in the distribution of propane and related equipment and supplies in the United States. The propane distribution market is seasonal because propane is used primarily for heating in residential and commercial buildings. Ferrellgas, L.P. serves approximately one million residential, industrial/commercial, portable tank exchange, agricultural, wholesale and other customers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

(2) Accounting estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates impacting the 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, financial derivative contracts and stock and unit-based compensation calculations.

(3) Principles of consolidation: The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows of Ferrellgas, L.P. and its subsidiaries after elimination of all material intercompany accounts and transactions. Ferrellgas, L.P.

F-42

Table of Contents

consolidates the following wholly-owned taxable corporations: Blue Rhino Global Sourcing, Inc. and Blue Rhino Canada, Inc. Ferrellgas Receivables, LLC (“Ferrellgas Receivables”), a wholly-owned unconsolidated subsidiary, is a special purpose entity.

(4) Cash and cash equivalents and non-cash activities: For purposes of the 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. Significant non-cash activities are presented below:

	For the year ended July 31,
	2009		2008		2007
CASH PAID FOR:
Interest	$	59,626	$	64,922	$	63,584
Income taxes	$	1,374	$	3,766	$	3,742
NON-CASH INVESTING ACTIVITIES:
Assets contributed from Ferrellgas Partners in connection with acquisitions	$	5,515	$	—	$	2,009
Issuance of liabilities in connection with acquisitions	$	1,673	$	—	$	2,426
Property, plant and equipment additions	$	973	$	1,970	$	1,187

(5) Accounts receivable securitization: Ferrellgas, L.P. has agreements to transfer, on an ongoing basis, a portion of its trade accounts receivable through Ferrellgas Receivables, an accounts receivable securitization facility. Ferrellgas, L.P. retains servicing responsibilities as well as a retained interest in the transferred receivables. Ferrellgas, L.P. also holds a note receivable from Ferrellgas Receivables to the extent that expected cash proceeds from the sales of accounts receivable to Ferrellgas Receivables have not been received. Ferrellgas, L.P. has no other continuing involvement with the transferred receivables, other than servicing the receivables. The related receivables are transferred from the consolidated balance sheets and a retained interest and note receivable are recorded for the amount of receivables sold in excess of cash received and a related loss on the transfer is recorded, which represents the discount on the sale. The retained interest and note receivable are included in “Accounts and notes receivable, net” in the consolidated balance sheets.

Ferrellgas, L.P. determines the fair value of its retained interest and note receivable based on the present value of future expected cash flows using management’s best estimates of various factors, including credit loss experience and discount rates commensurate with the risks involved. These assumptions are updated periodically based on actual results; therefore, the estimated credit loss and discount rates utilized are materially consistent with historical performance. Due to the short-term nature of Ferrellgas, L.P.’s trade receivables, variations in the credit and discount assumptions would not significantly impact the fair value of the retained interests and note receivable. Costs associated with the sale of receivables are included in “Loss on disposal of assets and other” in the consolidated statements of earnings. See Note F — Accounts and notes receivable, net and accounts receivable securitization — for further discussion of these transactions.

(6) Inventories: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market using weighted average cost and actual cost methods.

(7) Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and routine repairs are expensed as incurred. Ferrellgas, L.P. capitalizes computer software, equipment replacement and betterment expenditures that upgrade, replace or completely rebuild major mechanical components and extend

F-43

Table of Contents

the original useful life of the equipment. Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from two to 30 years. Ferrellgas L.P., using its best estimates based on reasonable and supportable assumptions and projections, reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of its assets might not be recoverable. See Note E — Supplemental financial statement information — for further discussion of property, plant and equipment.

(8) Goodwill: Ferrellgas, L.P. records goodwill as the excess of the cost of acquisitions over the fair value of the related net assets at the date of acquisition. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually on January 31, or more frequently if circumstances dictate, and if impaired, written off against earnings at that time. Ferrellgas, L.P. has not recognized any impairment losses as a result of these tests. For purposes of Ferrellgas, L.P.’s goodwill impairment test, Ferrellgas, L.P. has determined that it has one reporting unit. Ferrellgas, L.P. assesses the carrying value of goodwill at its reporting unit based on an estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit. Fair value of the reporting unit is estimated using a market value approach taking into consideration the quoted market price of Ferrellgas Partners’ common units.

(9) Intangible assets: Intangible assets with finite useful lives, consisting primarily of customer lists, non-compete agreements and patented technology, are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization calculated using the straight-line method over periods ranging from two to 15 years. Trade names and trademarks have indefinite lives, are not amortized, and are stated at cost. Ferrellgas, L.P. tests finite-lived intangible assets for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these assets might not be recoverable. Ferrellgas, L.P. tests indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually on January 31 or more frequently if circumstances dictate. Ferrellgas, L.P. has not recognized impairment losses as a result of these tests. When necessary, intangible assets’ useful lives are revised and the impact on amortization reflected on a prospective basis. See Note G — Goodwill and intangible assets, net — for further discussion of intangible assets.

(10) Derivatives and hedging activities: Ferrellgas, L.P.’s overall objective for entering into derivative contracts, including commodity options and swaps, is to hedge a portion of its exposure to market fluctuations in propane prices. These financial instruments are formally designated and documented as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure, as well as the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the hedge transaction. Because of the high degree of correlation between the hedging instrument and the underlying exposure being hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instrument are generally offset by changes in the anticipated cash flows of the underlying exposure being hedged. The fair value of these derivatives fluctuates over the length of the contracts. These fair value amounts should not be viewed in isolation, but rather in relation to the anticipated cash flows of the underlying hedged transaction and the overall reduction in our risk relating to adverse fluctuations in propane prices. Ferrellgas, L.P. formally assesses, both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in the anticipated cash flows of the related underlying exposures. Any ineffective portion of a financial instrument’s change in fair value is recognized in “Cost of product sold - propane and other gas liquids sales” in the consolidated statements of earnings. Ferrellgas, L.P. also enters into derivative contracts that qualify for the normal purchases and normal sales exception under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”), as amended. Financial instruments formally designated and documented as a hedge of a specific underlying exposure are recorded gross at fair value as either “Price risk management assets” or “Other current liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets with changes in fair value reported in other comprehensive income.

Table of Contents

(11) Revenue recognition: Revenues from the distribution of propane and other gas liquids, including revenues from customer deposits and advances, are recognized by Ferrellgas, L.P. at the time product is delivered to its customers. Other revenues, which include revenue from the sale of propane appliances and equipment is recognized at the time of delivery or installation. Revenues from repairs and maintenance are recognized upon completion of the service. Ferrellgas, L.P. recognizes shipping and handling revenues and expenses for sales of propane, appliances and equipment at the time of delivery or installation. Shipping and handling revenues are included in the price of propane charged to customers, and are classified as revenue. Revenues from annually billed, non-refundable tank rentals are recognized on a straight-line basis over one year. Cooperative advertising program costs are recorded as a reduction to our revenue.

(12) Shipping and handling expenses: Shipping and handling expenses related to delivery personnel, vehicle repair and maintenance and general liability expenses are classified within “Operating expense” in the consolidated statements of earnings. Depreciation expenses on delivery vehicles Ferrellgas, L.P. owns are classified within “Depreciation and amortization expense.” Delivery vehicles and distribution technology leased by Ferrellgas, L.P. are classified within “Equipment lease expense.” See Note E — Supplemental financial statement information - for the financial statement presentation of shipping and handling expenses.

(13) Cost of product sold: “Cost of product sold — propane and other gas liquids sales” includes all costs to acquire propane and other gas liquids, the costs of storing and transporting inventory prior to delivery to Ferrellgas, L.P.’s customers, the results from risk management activities to hedge related price risk and the costs related to the refurbishment of Ferrellgas, L.P.’s portable propane tanks. “Cost of product sold — other” primarily includes costs related to the sale of propane appliances and equipment.

(14) Operating expenses: “Operating expense” primarily includes the personnel, vehicle, delivery, handling, plant, office, selling, marketing, credit and collections and other expenses related to the retail distribution of propane and related equipment and supplies.

(15) General and administrative expenses: “General and administrative expense” primarily includes personnel and incentive expense related to executives and employees and other overhead expense related to centralized corporate functions.

(16) Unit and stock-based compensation:

Ferrellgas Unit Option Plan (“UOP”)

The UOP is authorized to issue options covering up to 1.35 million common units to employees of the general partner or its affiliates. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the general partner administers the UOP, authorizes grants of unit options thereunder and sets the unit option price and vesting terms of unit options in accordance with the terms of the UOP. No single officer or director of the general partner may acquire more than 314,895 common units under the UOP. In general, the options currently outstanding under the UOP vest over a five-year period, and expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of the grant. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option valuation model. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of Ferrellgas Partners’ publicly-traded common units. Historical information is used to estimate option exercise and employee termination behavior. Due to the limited number of employees eligible to participate in the UOP, there is only one group of employees. The expected term of options granted is derived from historical exercise patterns and represents the period of time that options are expected to be outstanding. The risk free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. During the year ended July 31, 2009, the portion of the total non-cash compensation charge relating to the UOP was

F-45

Table of Contents

$15 thousand and related to fiscal 2009 grants of unit options to acquire 0.3 million common units. During the years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007, no compensation charge relating to the UOP was recognized as all options outstanding at that time were fully vested.

Ferrell Companies, Inc. Incentive Compensation Plan (“ICP”)

The ICP is not a Ferrellgas, L.P. stock-compensation plan; however, in accordance with Ferrellgas L.P.’s partnership agreements, all employee-related costs incurred by Ferrell Companies are allocated to Ferrellgas, L.P. As a result, Ferrellgas, L.P. incurs a non-cash compensation charge from Ferrell Companies. During the years ended July 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, the portion of the total non-cash compensation charge relating to the ICP was $2.3 million, $1.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively.

Ferrell Companies is authorized to issue options covering up to 6.25 million shares of Ferrell Companies common stock under the ICP. The ICP was established by Ferrell Companies to allow upper middle and senior level managers of the general partner to participate in the equity growth of Ferrell Companies. The shares underlying the stock options are common shares of Ferrell Companies; therefore, there is no earnings per share dilution of Ferrellgas, L.P. The ICP stock options vest ratably over periods ranging from zero to 12 years or 100% upon a change of control of Ferrell Companies, or upon the death, disability or retirement at the age of 65 of the participant. Vested options are exercisable in increments based on the timing of the retirement of Ferrell Companies’ debt, but in no event later than 20 years from the date of issuance. The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a binomial option valuation model.

(17) Income taxes: Ferrellgas, L.P. is a limited partnership and owns four subsidiaries that are taxable corporations. As a result, except for the taxable corporations, Ferrellgas, L.P.’s earnings or losses for federal income tax purposes are included in the tax returns of the individual partners. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Ferrellgas, L.P. reflect federal income taxes related to the above mentioned taxable corporations. Recent legislation in certain states of operation allows for taxation of partnerships. As such, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Ferrellgas, L.P. also reflect state income taxes resulting from this legislation. Net earnings for financial statement purposes may differ significantly from taxable income reportable to partners as a result of differences between the tax basis and financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities, the taxable income allocation requirements under Ferrellgas, L.P.’s partnership agreement and differences between Ferrellgas, L.P.’s financial reporting year end and limited partners tax year end.

On July 12, 2007, the governor of the state of Michigan signed into law a new Michigan Business Tax (the “MBT Act”), which provided a comprehensive restructuring of Michigan’s principal business tax regime. The main provision of the MBT Act imposed a new two-part tax on business income and modified gross receipts that is accounted for as an income tax in accordance with SFAS No. 109 “Accounting for Income Taxes” (“SFAS 109”). Although the effective date of the MBT was January 1, 2008, SFAS 109 required all effects of a tax law change be accounted for in the period of the law’s enactment. As a result, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2007 Ferrellgas, L.P. recognized a one time increase in its deferred tax expense of $2.8 million. During fiscal 2008, the Governor of the State of Michigan signed into law a one time credit for this Michigan Business Tax law. The passing of this new tax law caused Ferrellgas, L.P. to recognize a one time deferred tax benefit of $2.8 million during fiscal 2008.

(18) Sales taxes: Ferrellgas, L.P. accounts for the collection and remittance of sales tax on a net tax basis. As a result, these amounts are not reflected in the consolidated statements of earnings.

During April 2009, Ferrellgas, L.P. renewed its accounts receivable securitization facility with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., JS Siloed Trust and Fifth Third Bank for an additional 364-day commitment. As part of this renewed facility, Ferrellgas, L.P. transfers a portion of its trade accounts receivable to Ferrellgas Receivables, which finances its acquisition of the trade receivable assets by issuing beneficial interests in (securitizing) the receivables to a commercial paper conduit for proceeds of up to $145.0 million. Ferrellgas, L.P. does not provide any guarantee or similar support to the collectability of these receivables. Ferrellgas, L.P. structured the facility using a wholly-owned, unconsolidated special purpose entity in order to facilitate the transaction while complying with Ferrellgas, L.P.’s various debt covenants. If the covenants are compromised, funding from the facility could be restricted or suspended, or its costs could increase. As a servicer, Ferrellgas, L.P. remits daily to this special purpose entity funds collected on the trade receivables held by Ferrellgas Receivables.

Ferrellgas, L.P. transfers a portion of its trade accounts receivable to Ferrellgas Receivables and retains an interest and a note receivable related to these transferred receivables. As these transferred receivables are subsequently collected, the funding from the accounts receivable securitization facility is reduced. Ferrellgas Receivables recorded the following on its balance sheet:

Ferrellgas, L.P.’s risk management activities primarily attempt to mitigate price risks related to the purchase, storage, transport and sale of propane generally in the contract and spot markets from major domestic energy companies on a short-term basis. Ferrellgas, L.P. attempts to mitigate these price risks through the use of financial derivative instruments and forward propane purchase and sales contracts.

Ferrellgas, L.P.’s risk management strategy involves taking positions in the forward or financial markets that are equal and opposite to Ferrellgas, L.P.’s positions in the physical products market in order to minimize the risk of financial loss from an adverse price change. This risk management strategy is successful when Ferrellgas, L.P.’s gains or losses in the physical product markets are offset by its losses or gains in the forward or financial markets. These financial derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges.

Ferrellgas, L.P.’s risk management activities include the use of financial derivative instruments including, but not limited to, price swaps, options, futures and basis swaps to seek protection from adverse price movements and to minimize potential losses. Ferrellgas, L.P. enters into these financial derivative instruments directly with third parties in the over-the-counter market and with brokers who are clearing members with the New York Mercantile Exchange. Ferrellgas, L.P. also enters into forward propane purchase and sales contracts with counterparties. These forward contracts qualify for the normal purchase normal sales exception within SFAS 133 and are therefore not recorded by Ferrellgas, L.P. prior to settlement.

Cash Flow Hedging Activity

Ferrellgas, L.P. uses financial derivative instruments for risk management purposes to hedge a portion of its exposure to market fluctuations in propane prices. These financial derivative instruments are designated as cash flow hedging instruments, thus the effective portions of changes in the fair value of the financial derivatives are recorded in OCI prior to settlement and are subsequently recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings in “Cost of goods sold — propane and other gas liquids sales” when the forward or forecasted propane sales transaction impacts earnings. The effectiveness of cash flow hedges is evaluated at inception and on an on-going basis. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedges due to hedge ineffectiveness, if any, are recognized in “Cost of product sold — propane and other gas liquids sales.” During the years ended July 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, Ferrellgas, L.P. did not recognize any gain or loss in earnings related to hedge ineffectiveness and did not exclude any component of the financial derivative contract gain or loss from the assessment of hedge effectiveness related to these cash flow hedges.

The fair value of financial derivative instruments are classified gross on the consolidated balance sheets as “Price risk management assets” and “Other current liabilities” as follows:

	2009		2008
Derivatives — Price risk management assets	$	3,391	$	26,086
Derivatives — Price risk management liabilities	$	4,380	$	7,337

Ferrellgas, L.P. had the following cash flow hedge activity included in OCI in the consolidated statements of partners’ capital:

Table of Contents

	For the year ended July 31,
	2009
Fair value loss adjustment classified as OCI with offset in Price risk management assets and Price risk management liabilities	$	(186,449	)

Reclassification of net losses originally recorded within OCI to Cost of product sold — propane and other gas liquids	$	(166,711	)

The fair value losses reported above relate to the significant decrease in wholesale propane prices that occurred during fiscal 2009. Assuming a minimal change in future market prices, Ferrellgas, L.P. expects to reclassify net losses of approximately $1.0 million to earnings during the next year. These net losses are expected to be offset by margins on propane sales commitments Ferrellgas, L.P. has with its customers that qualify for the normal purchase normal sales exception under SFAS 133.

During the years ended July 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, Ferrellgas, L.P. had no reclassifications to earnings resulting from discontinuance of any cash flow hedges arising from the probability of the original forecasted transactions not occurring within the originally specified period of time defined within the hedging relationship.

As of July 31, 2009, Ferrellgas, L.P. had financial derivative contracts covering 0.7 million barrels of propane that were entered into as cash flow hedges of forward and forecasted purchases of propane.

During the year ended July 31, 2009, four counterparties represented 85% of net settled cash flow hedging positions reported in “Cost of goods sold — propane and other gas liquids sales.” During the year ended July 31, 2009, Ferrellgas, L.P. neither held nor entered into financial derivative contracts that contained credit risk related contingency features.

In accordance with SFAS 157, Ferrellgas, L.P. determines the fair value of its assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement by using the highest possible “Level” as defined within SFAS 157. The three levels defined by the SFAS 157 hierarchy are as follows:

· Level 1 — Quoted prices available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

· Level 2 — Pricing inputs not quoted in active markets but either directly or indirectly observable.

· Level 3 — Significant inputs to pricing that have little or no transparency with inputs requiring significant management judgment or estimation.

Ferrellgas, L.P. considers over-the-counter derivative instruments entered into directly with third parties as Level 2 valuation since the values of these derivatives are quoted by third party brokers and are on an exchange for similar transactions. The market prices used to value Ferrellgas, L.P.’s derivatives have been determined using independent third party prices, readily available market information, broker quotes, and appropriate valuation techniques.

K. Transactions with related parties

Ferrellgas, L.P. has no employees and is managed and controlled by its general partner. Pursuant to Ferrellgas, L.P.’s partnership agreement, the general partner is entitled to reimbursement for all direct and indirect expenses incurred or payments it makes on behalf of Ferrellgas, L.P., and all other necessary or appropriate expenses allocable to Ferrellgas, L.P. or otherwise reasonably incurred by its general partner in connection with operating Ferrellgas, L.P.’s business. These costs primarily include compensation and benefits paid to employees of the general partner who perform services on Ferrellgas, L.P.’s behalf and are reported in the consolidated statements of earnings as follows:

	For the year ended July 31,
	2009		2008		2007

Operating expense	$	217,374	$	185,576	$	202,824

General and administrative expense	$	23,801	$	27,203	$	26,542

No payments were received from Samson during the years ended July 31, 2008 and 2007.

See additional discussions about transactions with related parties in Note I — Partner’s capital.

L. Contingencies and commitments

Litigation

Ferrellgas, L.P.’s operations are subject to all operating hazards and risks normally incidental to handling, storing, transporting and otherwise providing for use by consumers of combustible liquids such as propane. As a result, at any given time, Ferrellgas, L.P. is threatened with or named as a defendant in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Currently, Ferrellgas, L.P. is not a party to any legal proceedings other than various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. It is not possible to determine the ultimate disposition of these matters; however, management is of the opinion that there are no known claims or contingent claims that are reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Ferrellgas, L.P.

Ferrellgas, L.P. has been named as a defendant in lawsuits filed in multiple federal and state courts that seek to certify nationwide or statewide classes. The plaintiffs in each case generally allege that Ferrellgas, L.P. failed to inform consumers of the amount of propane contained in propane tanks they purchased related to its Blue Rhino branded propane tank exchange activities. The cases have generally been stayed until motions are heard regarding coordination for multidistrict treatment in a single court prior to trial. Based on Ferrellgas, L.P.’s business and consumer notification practices in its Blue Rhino tank exchange operations, Ferrellgas, L.P. believes that all of these claims are without merit and intend to defend the claims vigorously.

Long-term debt-related commitments

Ferrellgas, L.P. has long and short-term payment obligations under agreements such as senior notes and its unsecured credit facility. See Note H - Debt - for a description of these debt obligations and a schedule of future maturities.

Operating lease commitments and buyouts

Ferrellgas, L.P. leases certain property, plant and equipment under noncancelable and cancelable operating leases. Amounts shown in the table below represent minimum lease payment obligations under Ferrellgas, L.P.’s third-party operating leases with terms in excess of one year for the periods indicated. These arrangements include the leasing of transportation equipment, property, computer equipment and propane tanks. Ferrellgas, L.P. accounts for these arrangements as operating leases.

Ferrellgas, L.P. is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of guarantees issued after December 31, 2002. The only material guarantees Ferrellgas, L.P. has are associated with residual value guarantees of operating leases. Most of the operating leases involving Ferrellgas, L.P.’s transportation equipment contain residual value guarantees. These transportation equipment lease arrangements are scheduled to expire over the next seven fiscal years. Most of these arrangements provide that the fair value of the equipment will equal or exceed a guaranteed amount, or Ferrellgas, L.P. will be required to pay the lessor the difference. The fair value of these residual value guarantees entered into after December 31, 2002 was $0.7 million as of July 31, 2009. Although the fair values of the underlying equipment at the end of the lease terms have historically exceeded these guaranteed amounts, the maximum potential amount of aggregate future payments Ferrellgas, L.P. could be required to make under these leasing arrangements, assuming the equipment is worthless at the end of the lease term, was $10.0 million as of July 31, 2009. Ferrellgas, L.P. does not know of any event, demand, commitment, trend or uncertainty that would result in a material change to these arrangements.

Operating lease buyouts represent the maximum amount Ferrellgas, L.P. would pay if it were to exercise its right to buyout the assets at the end of their lease term.

The following table summarizes Ferrellgas, L.P.’s contractual operating lease commitments and buyout obligations as of July 31, 2009:

	Future minimum rental and buyout amounts by fiscal year
	2010		2011		2012		2013		2014		Thereafter

Operating lease obligations	$	22,246	$	15,475	$	8,431	$	5,590	$	4,734	$	11,137
Operating lease buyouts	$	8,641	$	5,323	$	2,827	$	357	$	784	$	1,418

M. Employee benefits

Ferrellgas, L.P. has no employees and is managed and controlled by its general partner. Ferrellgas, L.P. assumes all liabilities, which include specific liabilities related to the following employee benefit plans for the benefit of the officers and employees of the general partner.

Ferrell Companies makes contributions to the ESOT, which causes a portion of the shares of Ferrell Companies owned by the ESOT to be allocated to employees’ accounts over time. The allocation of Ferrell Companies’ shares to employee accounts causes a non-cash compensation charge to be incurred by Ferrellgas, L.P., equivalent to the fair value of such shares allocated. This non-cash compensation charge is reported separately in Ferrellgas, L.P.’s consolidated statements of earnings and thus excluded from operating and general and administrative expenses. The non-cash compensation charges were $6.8 million, $12.4 million, and $11.2 million during fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Ferrellgas, L.P. is not obligated to fund or make contributions to the ESOT.

The general partner and its parent, Ferrell Companies, have a defined contribution profit-sharing plan which includes both profit sharing and matching contributions. The plan covers substantially all full time employees. With the establishment of the ESOP in July 1998, Ferrellgas, L.P. suspended future contributions to the profit sharing plan beginning with fiscal 1998. The plan, which qualifies under section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, also provides for matching contributions under a cash or deferred arrangement based upon participant salaries and employee contributions to the plan. Matching contributions for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $2.7 million, $2.6 million, and $3.0 million, respectively.

N. Quarterly data (unaudited)

The following summarized unaudited quarterly data includes all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments), which Ferrellgas, L.P. considers necessary for a fair presentation. Due to the seasonality of the propane distribution industry, first and fourth quarter revenues, gross margin from propane and other gas liquids sales and net earnings are consistently less than the second and third quarter results. Other factors affecting the results of operations include competitive conditions, demand for product, timing of acquisitions, variations in the weather and fluctuations in propane prices.

O. Subsequent events

During August 2009, Ferrellgas, L.P. made scheduled principal payments of $73.0 million on the 8.87% Series C senior notes using availability under its unsecured credit facility due April 2010.

During September 2009, Ferrellgas, L.P. issued $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of new 9.125% senior notes due 2017 at an offering price equal to 98.6% of par. Ferrellgas, L.P. then gave early redemption notice to the holders of its $82.0 million 7.24% series D notes due August 1, 2010 and its $70.0 million 7.42% series E notes due August 1, 2013. The principal amount of these senior notes and the related prepayment penalties are expected to be funded with the proceeds from the new senior notes offering with remaining proceeds used to reduce borrowings on Ferrellgas, L.P.’s unsecured credit facility due April 2010.

During September 2009, Ferrellgas, L.P. and several banks and other financial institutions executed into escrow a Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement”) which will be released from escrow pending certain closing conditions. The Credit Agreement is intended to replace Ferrellgas, L.P.’s existing unsecured credit facility. The Credit Agreement, at closing, will provide for a $400.0 million revolving credit facility with the entire amount available for loans and with a sublimit of $200.0 million for letters of credit. The obligations under such credit facility will be secured by substantially all assets of Ferrellgas, L.P., the general partner and certain subsidiaries of Ferrellgas, L.P. but specifically excluding (a) assets that are subject to the operating partnership’s receivables securitization facility, (b) the general partner’s equity interest in Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. and (c) equity interest in certain unrestricted subsidiaries. Such obligations will also be guaranteed by the general partner and certain subsidiaries of Ferrellgas, L.P. The secured revolving credit facility will mature on the third anniversary of the closing date for such facility.
