   this press release

Highlights of the first quarter of 2009 compared to the fourth quarter of 2008:



 * Production decreased 3% to 8,322 Boe per day from 8,553 Boe
   per day as a result of the reduction in development capital
   expenditures to $4.8 million from $14.5 million in the prior
   quarter along with downtime related to third party gas plant
   maintenance in the Texas Panhandle.

 * Combined realized prices were $30.79 per Boe, down 30% from
   $43.73 per Boe in the fourth quarter.  Oil prices were $35.79
   per barrel compared to $54.53 per barrel, while natural gas
   prices declined to $3.62 per Mcf from $4.77 per Mcf.  Oil price
   differentials to WTI widened to $7.42 per barrel from $4.22 per
   barrel in the fourth quarter due to high oil storage levels at
   Cushing, Oklahoma and low refinery utilization related to the
   economic slowdown.

 * Oil, NGL and natural gas sales were $23.1 million, a 33% decline
   from $34.4 million due to the decline in combined prices and
   decline in production rate.

 * Commodity derivative cash settlements were $19.0 million compared
   to $1.4 million due to the commodity price decline, higher hedged
   commodity prices of $56.13 per Boe compared to $45.54 per Boe and
   a higher percentage of hedged production at 71% compared to 64%
   in the fourth quarter.

 * Production expenses decreased to $10.5 million, or $14.07 per Boe,
   from $12.2 million, or $15.49 per Boe.

 * Adjusted EBITDA increased 40% to $24.8 million from $17.7 million
   primarily due to the impact of our commodity derivatives compared
   to the fourth quarter when we had $7.1 million of oil hedge
   settlement lag effect.

 * Distributable cash flow increased to $14.9 million from $0.3
   million as a result of our $19.0 million of commodity derivative
   settlements and reduced development capital expenditures.

Comparisons of the first quarter of 2009 results to the first quarter of 2008 follow:



 * Production increased 22% to 8,322 Boe per day from 6,813 Boe per
   day as a result of approximately $218 million of 2008
   acquisitions and $32.8 million of development capital
   expenditures in 2008.

 * Combined realized prices were $30.79 per Boe down 61% from
   $78.69 per Boe.  Oil prices were $35.79 per barrel compared to
   $95.12 per barrel, while natural gas prices declined to $3.62 per
   Mcf from $8.73 per Mcf.

 * Oil, NGL and natural gas sales were $23.1 million, a 53% decline
   from $48.8 million due to lower commodity prices in the period,
   partially offset by higher production volumes.

 * Commodity derivative cash settlements were $19.0 million compared
   to a $6.8 million loss due to the decline in commodity prices year
   over year.

 * Production expenses were $10.5 million, or $14.07 per Boe,
   compared to $9.0 million, or $14.51 per Boe, due to the acquisition
   of properties and growth in well count.

 * Adjusted EBITDA decreased 8% to $24.8 million from $27.1 million
   due primarily to the decline in oil and natural gas sales,
   partially offset by higher commodity derivatives settlements.

 * Development capital expenditures were $4.8 million; increased
   from $3.0 million.

 * Distributable cash flow decreased 33% to $14.9 million from
   $22.3 million as a consequence of lower adjusted EBITDA, higher
   cash interest expense and higher development capital expenditures.

Cary Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Legacy Reserves GP, LLC, the general partner of Legacy, said, "We delivered strong first quarter production against the headwind of lower oil and natural gas prices. I am pleased with the continued cost containment response of our operating team which was primarily responsible for a decrease of production costs to $14.07 per Boe in the first quarter of 2009 from $15.49 per Boe in the fourth quarter of 2008. Given current oil, NGL and natural gas prices, we expect production and capital costs to continue to decline in 2009."

Distribution Policy

Mr. Brown continued, "Our Board of Directors has decided to maintain our current quarterly distribution level of $0.52 for the first quarter. Our distributable cash flow was $0.48 per unit. We hedged 71% of our production in the first quarter, and the settlement of our commodity hedges contributed $19.0 million to our adjusted EBITDA. We expect our cash flow from production and our hedges to support our 2009 distribution and our borrowing base. In an effort to improve distribution coverage and liquidity for the remainder of the year, the board approved a reduction in our capital budget to $10.7 million from $20 million. With respect to any future distributions, we continue to review our distribution policy to maintain liquidity given the volatile commodity price and capital markets environment."

Credit Facility Extension

Steven Pruett, President and Chief Financial Officer, commented on the extension of Legacy's Credit Agreement, "On March 27th, we announced the extension credit facility and the reduction in our borrowing base to $340 million from $410 million in the fall. The extension in maturity to April 1, 2012 from the original maturity of March 16, 2010, resulted in $4.3 million of upfront fees that were paid in the first quarter but will be expensed over the life of the facility. The LIBOR interest rate margin ranges from 2.25% to 3.0% which is 0.75% higher than the previous Credit Agreement. The commitment fee on unused capacity has been increased to 0.5% from 0.375% previously. We have $300 million of debt drawn on our credit facility as of today, leaving $40 million of availability."

Take Private Offer

On April 3, 2009, Legacy's Board of Directors announced the receipt of a proposal from Apollo Management VII, LP to acquire all of the outstanding units of Legacy Reserves LP at a cash purchase price of $14.00 per unit, subject to adjustment for any distributions paid to the Partnership's limited partners. The Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors has not made any decision with respect to the proposal. There can be no assurance that any definitive offer will be made, an agreement will be executed, or that any transaction will be approved or consummated.

Net Income

Net income for the first quarter of 2009 was $3.5 million, which was impacted by impairment of approximately $1.2 million due to lower natural gas prices than compared to year-end 2008. We had $0.5 million of unrealized gains on commodity derivatives in the first quarter. In the fourth quarter of 2008, we reported net income of $127.1 million, which included $230.4 million of unrealized gains on commodity derivatives, losses from impairment of $76.5 million and depletion, depreciation and amortization of $30.1 million.

Commodity Derivatives

We have entered into the following fixed price swaps for oil and natural gas to help mitigate the risk of changing commodity prices. As of May 6, 2009, we had entered into swap agreements to receive average NYMEX West Texas Intermediate oil and Henry Hub, Waha and ANR-Oklahoma natural gas prices as summarized below starting with April 2009 through December 2013:

 Calendar Year   Volumes (Bbl)    Put ($/Bbl)      Call ($/Bbl)

 Apr-Dec 2009            56,800   $      120.00   $         156.30
 2010                    71,800   $      120.00   $         156.30
 2011                    68,300   $      120.00   $         156.30
 2012                    65,100   $      120.00   $         156.30

The agreements provide for monthly settlement based on the difference between the agreement fixed price and the actual reference oil and natural gas index prices.

We have entered into natural gas basis swaps to receive floating NYMEX prices less a fixed basis differential and pay prices based on the floating Waha index, a natural gas hub in West Texas. The prices that we receive for our Permian Basin natural gas sales follow Waha more closely than the NYMEX Henry Hub natural gas index. The basis swaps thereby provide a better correlation between our natural gas sales and the derivative settlement payments on our natural gas swaps. The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, our NYMEX-Waha basis swaps currently in place for production months through December 31, 2010:



 Waha Basis Swaps               Annual            Basis Differential
 Calendar Year              Volumes (MMBtu)           per MMBtu

 Apr-Dec 2009                         990,000    $              (0.68)
 2010                               1,200,000    $              (0.57)

In December 2008, we entered into additional basis swaps for our Texas Panhandle and Oklahoma natural gas whose price tracks ANR-Oklahoma more closely than Henry Hub. The table below summarizes our NYMEX - ANR-Oklahoma basis swaps:



 ANR-OK Basis Swaps             Annual            Basis Differential
 Calendar Year              Volumes (MMBtu)           per MMBtu
 ----------------------  ---------------------  ----------------------
 Apr-Dec 2009                         360,000    $              (1.09)
 2010                                 480,000    $              (0.87)

In 2007, we entered into NGL swaps to hedge the impact of volatility in the spot prices of NGLs. The commodity prices covered by these swaps are the spot prices for ethane, propane, iso-butane, normal butane and natural gasoline reported on the Mont Belvieu, Non-Tet OPIS exchange. The following table summarizes, for the periods indicated, our Mont Belvieu, Non-Tet OPIS NGL swaps currently in place for production months through December 2009.

Legacy enters into derivative transactions with unaffiliated third parties with respect to oil, NGL and natural gas prices to achieve more predictable cash flows and to reduce its exposure to short-term fluctuations in oil, NGL and natural gas prices. These derivative instruments are accounted for in accordance with SFAS No. 133 - Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. These instruments are intended to mitigate a portion of Legacy's price risk and may be considered hedges for economic purposes but Legacy has chosen not to designate them as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. Therefore, all derivative instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value which requires us to mark our future derivatives positions to market each quarter resulting in unrealized gains or losses, which impact reported net income. Unrealized gains or losses represent current period mark-to-market adjustments for commodity derivatives which will be settled in future periods. Unrealized gains or losses result in a non-cash impact on earnings and do not affect our ability to make our expected cash distributions. The majority of our derivative instruments now in place are in the form of swaps of floating prices for fixed prices paid by the counterparty.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release, the financial tables and other supplemental information, including the reconciliation of "Adjusted EBITDA" and "Distributable Cash Flow", both of which are non-generally accepted accounting principles ("non-GAAP") measures to their nearest comparable generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") measure, may be used periodically by management when discussing our financial results with investors and analysts. All such information is also available on our website under the Investor Relations link.

"Adjusted EBITDA" and "Distributable Cash Flow" should not be considered as alternatives to GAAP measures, such as net income, operating income or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial performance.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined in our revolving credit facility as net income (loss) plus:



   *  Interest expense;
   *  Income taxes;
   *  Depletion, depreciation, amortization and accretion;
   *  Impairment of long-lived assets;
   *  (Gain) loss on sale of partnership investment;
   *  (Gain) loss on disposal of assets;
   *  Unit-based compensation expense arising from liability and
      equity-based awards;
   *  Equity in (income) loss of partnerships; and
   *  Unrealized (gain) loss on oil and natural gas derivatives.

Distributable Cash Flow is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less:



  *  Cash interest expense;
  *  Cash income taxes;
  *  Cash settlements of unit options; and
  *  Development capital expenditures.

Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow are presented as management believes they provide additional information and metrics relative to the performance of our business, such as the cash distributions we expect to pay to our unitholders, as well as our ability to meet our debt covenant compliance tests. Management believes that these financial measures indicate to investors whether or not cash flow is being generated at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our quarterly distribution rates. Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow may not be comparable to a similarly titled measure of other publicly traded limited partnerships or limited liability companies because all companies may not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner.

The following table presents a reconciliation of our consolidated net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA and Distributable Cash Flow:
