NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. PARTNERSHIP ORGANIZATION
Partnership Organization
          TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”), is a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership and our limited partner units are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “TPP”. As used in this Report, “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Partnership” and “TEPPCO” mean TEPPCO Partners, L.P. and, where the context requires, include our subsidiaries. At formation in March 1990, we completed an initial public offering of 26,500,000 units representing limited partner interests (“Limited Partner Units”) at $10.00 per Limited Partner Unit (“Unit”).
          Through June 29, 2007, we operated through TE Products Pipeline Company, Limited Partnership, TCTM, L.P. (“TCTM”) and TEPPCO Midstream Companies, L.P. On June 30, 2007, TE Products Pipeline Company, Limited Partnership and TEPPCO Midstream Companies, L.P. converted into Texas limited partnerships and immediately thereafter merged into newly-formed Texas limited liability companies that had no business operations prior to the merger. The resulting limited liability companies are called TE Products Pipeline Company, LLC (“TE Products”) and TEPPCO Midstream Companies, LLC (“TEPPCO Midstream”). As of June 30, 2007, we operate through TE Products, TCTM and TEPPCO Midstream. Collectively, TE Products, TCTM and TEPPCO Midstream are referred to as the “Operating Companies.” Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC (the “General Partner”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as our general partner and owns a 2% general partner interest in us. We hold a 99.999% limited partner interest in TCTM and TEPPCO GP, Inc. (“TEPPCO GP”), a wholly owned subsidiary, holds a 0.001% general partner interest in TCTM. We and TEPPCO GP hold 99.999% and 0.001% membership interests, respectively, in TE Products and TEPPCO Midstream.
          Through May 6, 2007, our General Partner was owned by DFI GP Holdings L.P. (“DFI”), an affiliate of EPCO, Inc. (“EPCO”), a privately held company controlled by Dan L. Duncan. On May 7, 2007, DFI sold all of the membership interests in our General Partner to Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. (“Enterprise GP Holdings”), a publicly traded partnership, also controlled indirectly by EPCO. Mr. Duncan and certain of his affiliates, including EPCO, Enterprise GP Holdings and Dan Duncan LLC, a privately held company controlled by him, control us, our General Partner and Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (“Enterprise”) and its affiliates, including Duncan Energy Partners L.P. As of May 7, 2007, Enterprise GP Holdings owns and controls the 2% general partner interest in us and has the right to receive the incentive distribution rights associated with the general partner interest. Enterprise GP Holdings, DFI and other entities controlled by Mr. Duncan own 16,691,550 of our Units. Under an amended and restated administrative services agreement (“ASA”), EPCO performs all management, administrative and operating functions required for us, and we reimburse EPCO for all direct and indirect expenses that have been incurred in managing us.
Basis of Presentation
          The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of our management, of a normal and recurring nature and necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of June 30, 2007, and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of results of our operations for the full year 2007. You should read these interim financial statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented in the TEPPCO Partners, L.P. Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
          Except per Unit amounts, or as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure, the dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnote disclosures are stated in thousands of dollars.

NOTE 2. GENERAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND RELATED MATTERS
Business Segments
          We operate and report in three business segments: transportation, marketing and storage of refined products, liquefied petroleum gases (“LPGs”) and petrochemicals (“Downstream Segment”); gathering, transportation, marketing and storage of crude oil and distribution of lubrication oils and specialty chemicals (“Upstream Segment”); and gathering of natural gas, fractionation of natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) and transportation of NGLs (“Midstream Segment”). Our reportable segments offer different products and services and are managed separately because each requires different business strategies.
          Our interstate transportation operations, including rates charged to customers, are subject to regulations prescribed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”). We refer to refined products, LPGs, petrochemicals, crude oil, NGLs and natural gas in this Report, collectively, as “petroleum products” or “products.”
Estimates
          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Although we believe these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
          Provision for income taxes is applicable to our state tax obligations under the Texas Margin Tax enacted in May 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded a $0.9 million current tax liability and a $0.7 million reduction to deferred tax liability. The offsetting net charge consisting of a reduction to deferred tax expense of $0.7 million and an increase in current income tax expense of $0.9 million is shown on our statements of consolidated income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as provision for income taxes.
Net Income Per Unit
          Basic net income per Unit is computed by dividing net income or loss, after deduction of the General Partner’s interest, by the weighted average number of distribution-bearing Units outstanding during a period. The General Partner’s percentage interest in our net income is based on its percentage of cash distributions from Available Cash for each period (see Note 12). Diluted net income per Unit is computed by dividing net income or loss, after deduction of the General Partner’s interest, by the sum of (i) the weighted average number of distribution-bearing Units outstanding during a period (as used in determining basic earnings per Unit); and (ii) the number of incremental Units resulting from the assumed exercise of dilutive Unit options outstanding during a period (the “incremental option units”) (see Note 15).
          In a period of net operating losses, restricted Units and incremental option units are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per Unit due to their antidilutive effect. The dilutive incremental option units are calculated using the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all in-the-money options at the end of each period are used to repurchase Units at an average market value during the period. The amount of Units remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities.

          The General Partner’s percentage interest in our net income increases as cash distributions paid per Unit increase above specified levels, in accordance with our Partnership Agreement. On December 8, 2006, our Partnership Agreement was amended and restated, and our General partner’s maximum percentage interest in our quarterly distributions was reduced from 50% to 25% in exchange for 14.1 million Units. References in this Report to our “Partnership Agreement” are to our partnership agreement in effect from time to time.
Recent Accounting Developments
          In June 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) reached consensus in EITF 06-3, How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation). The accounting guidance permits companies to elect to present on either a gross or net basis sales and other taxes that are imposed on and concurrent with individual revenue-producing transactions between a seller and a customer. The gross basis includes the taxes in revenues and costs; the net basis excludes the taxes from revenues. The accounting guidance does not apply to tax systems that are based on gross receipts or total revenues. EITF 06-3 requires companies to disclose their policy for presenting the taxes and disclose any amounts presented on a gross basis if those amounts are significant. The guidance in EITF 06-3 is effective January 1, 2007. As a matter of policy, we report such taxes on a net basis. The adoption of EITF 06-3 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
          In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an Interpretation of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. First, an enterprise must determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authority, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based solely on the technical merits of the position. Second, a tax position that meets the more likely than not recognition threshold is then measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The provisions of FIN 48 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006, and we were required to adopt FIN 48 as of January 1, 2007. All of our tax positions have met the more likely than not threshold for recognition and no measurement adjustments were made to the financial statements as a result of the adoption of FIN 48. The adoption of FIN 48 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
          In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 applies only to fair-value measurements that are already required or permitted by other accounting standards and is expected to increase the consistency of those measurements. SFAS 157 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Companies will be required to disclose the extent to which fair value is used to measure assets and liabilities, the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain of the measurements on earnings (or changes in net assets) for the period. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, and we are required to adopt SFAS 157 as of January 1, 2008. We believe that the adoption of SFAS 157 will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
          In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115. SFAS 159 permits entities to choose

to measure many financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected would be reported in net income. SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to draw comparison between the different measurement attributes the company elects for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We believe the adoption of SFAS 159 will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Revenue Recognition
          Our Downstream Segment revenues are earned from transportation, marketing and storage of refined products and LPGs, intrastate transportation of petrochemicals, sale of product inventory and other ancillary services. Transportation revenues are recognized as products are delivered to customers. Storage revenues are recognized upon receipt of products into storage and upon performance of storage services. Terminaling revenues are recognized as products are out-loaded. Revenues from the sale of product inventory are recognized when the products are sold. Our refined products marketing activities generate revenues by purchasing refined products from our throughput partners and establishing a margin by selling refined products for physical delivery through spot sales at the Aberdeen truck rack to independent wholesalers and retailers of refined products. These purchases and sales are generally contracted to occur on the same day.
          Our Upstream Segment revenues are earned from gathering, transporting, marketing and storing crude oil, and distributing lubrication oils and specialty chemicals principally in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and the Rocky Mountain region. Revenues are also generated from trade documentation and pumpover services, primarily at Cushing, Oklahoma, and Midland, Texas. Revenues are accrued at the time title to the product sold transfers to the purchaser, which typically occurs upon receipt of the product by the purchaser, and purchases are accrued at the time title to the product purchased transfers to our crude oil marketing company, TEPPCO Crude Oil, LLC (“TCO”), which typically occurs upon our receipt of the product. Revenues related to trade documentation and pumpover fees are recognized as services are completed.
          Except for crude oil purchased from time to time as inventory required for operations, our policy is to purchase only crude oil for which we have a market to sell and to structure sales contracts so that crude oil price fluctuations do not materially affect the margin received. As we purchase crude oil, we establish a margin by selling crude oil for physical delivery to third party users or by entering into a future delivery obligation. Through these transactions, we seek to maintain a position that is balanced between crude oil purchases and sales and future delivery obligations. However, commodity price risks cannot be completely hedged.
          On April 1, 2006, we adopted EITF 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty, which resulted in crude oil inventory purchases and sales under buy/sell transactions, which were previously recorded as gross purchases and sales, to be treated as inventory exchanges in our statements of consolidated income. EITF 04-13 reduced gross revenues and purchases, but did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Under the consensus reached in EITF 04-13, buy/sell transactions are reported as non-monetary exchanges and consequently not presented on a gross basis in our statements of consolidated income. Implementation of EITF 04-13 reduced revenues and purchases of petroleum products on our statements of consolidated income by approximately $699.7 million and $1,084.7 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $313.7 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006. The revenues and purchases of petroleum products associated with buy/sell transactions that are reported on a gross basis in our statement of consolidated income in the six months ended June 30, 2006 are approximately $275.4 million. Under the provisions of the consensus, retroactive restatement of buy/sell transactions reported in prior periods was not permitted.

          Our Midstream Segment revenues are earned from the gathering of natural gas, transportation of NGLs and fractionation of NGLs. Gathering revenues are recognized as natural gas is received from the customer. Transportation revenues are recognized as NGLs are delivered. Fractionation revenues are recognized ratably over the contract year as products are delivered. We generally do not take title to the natural gas gathered, NGLs transported or NGLs fractionated, with the exception of inventory imbalances. Therefore, the results of our Midstream Segment are not directly affected by changes in the prices of natural gas or NGLs.
NOTE 3. ACCOUNTING FOR UNIT-BASED AWARDS
          We account for unit-based awards under the EPCO, Inc. 2006 TPP Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2006 LTIP”) using SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123(R) requires us to recognize compensation expense related to unit-based awards based on the fair value of the awards at grant date. The fair value of a unit-based award is estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Under SFAS 123(R), the fair value of an award is amortized to earnings on a straight-line basis over the requisite service or vesting period. We account for awards under our 1999 Phantom Unit Retention Plan, our 2000 Long Term Incentive Plan and our 2005 Phantom Unit Plan as liability awards under the provisions of SFAS 123(R). For a discussion of the EPCO, Inc. TPP Employee Unit Purchase Plan, see Note 12.
1999 Phantom Unit Retention Plan
          Effective January 1, 1999, the General Partner adopted the Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC 1999 Phantom Unit Retention Plan (“1999 Plan”) to provide key employees with incentive awards whereby a participant is granted phantom units. These phantom units are automatically redeemed for cash based on the vested portion of the fair market value of the phantom units at stated redemption dates. The fair market value of each phantom unit is equal to the closing price of a Unit as reported on the NYSE on the redemption date. Each participant is also entitled to quarterly cash distributions equal to the product of the number of phantom units outstanding for the participant and the amount of the cash distribution that we paid per Unit to our unitholders.
          We accrue compensation expense annually based upon the terms of the 1999 Plan. A total of 31,600 phantom units remain outstanding at June 30, 2007, of which 13,000 vest April 11, 2008, 13,000 vest April 11, 2009 and 5,600 vest January 1, 2010. Compensation expense related to the 1999 Plan was $0.3 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $0.8 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had accrued liability balances of $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for compensation related to the 1999 Plan.
2000 Long Term Incentive Plan
          Effective January 1, 2000, our General Partner established the Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC 2000 Long Term Incentive Plan (“2000 LTIP”) to provide key employees incentives to achieve improvements in our financial performance. Generally, upon the close of a three-year performance period, if the participant is then still an employee of EPCO, the participant will receive a cash payment calculated in accordance with the terms of the 2000 LTIP, which are based on: (i) the applicable performance percentage specified in the award, (ii) the number of phantom units granted under the award and (iii) the average of the closing prices of a Unit over the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the last day of the performance period.
          In addition to the payment described above, during the performance period, the General Partner will pay to the participant the amount of cash distributions that we would have paid to our unitholders had the participant been the owner of the number of Units equal to the number of phantom units granted to the participant under this award.

(Unaudited)
We accrue compensation expense annually based upon the terms of the 2000 LTIP. At June 30, 2007, phantom units outstanding under the 2000 LTIP were 11,300 and 8,400 for awards granted for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Compensation expense related to the 2000 LTIP was $0.1 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and $0.3 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had accrued liability balances of $0.9 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for compensation related to the 2000 LTIP.
2005 Phantom Unit Plan
          Effective January 1, 2005, our General Partner adopted the Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC 2005 Phantom Unit Plan (“2005 Phantom Unit Plan”) to provide key employees incentives to achieve improvements in our financial performance. Generally, upon the close of a three-year performance period, if the participant is then still an employee of EPCO, the participant will receive a cash payment calculated in accordance with the terms of the 2005 Phantom Unit Plan, which are based on: (i) the grantee’s vested percentage, (ii) the number of phantom units granted under the award and (iii) the average of the closing prices of a Unit over the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the last day of the performance period. At June 30, 2007, phantom units outstanding for awards granted for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, were 38,200 and 39,000, respectively.
          In addition to the payment described above, during the performance period, the General Partner will pay to the participant the amount of cash distributions that we would have paid to our unitholders had the participant been the owner of the number of Units equal to the number of phantom units granted to the participant under this award. We accrue compensation expense annually based upon the terms of the 2005 Phantom Unit Plan. Compensation expense related to the 2005 Phantom Unit Plan was $0.3 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $0.5 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had accrued liability balances of $2.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for compensation related to the 2005 Phantom Unit Plan.
EPCO, Inc. 2006 TPP Long-Term Incentive Plan
          At a special meeting of our unitholders on December 8, 2006, our unitholders approved the 2006 LTIP, which provides for awards of our Units and other rights to our non-employee directors and to employees of EPCO and its affiliates providing services to us. Awards under the 2006 LTIP may be granted in the form of restricted units, phantom units, unit options, unit appreciation rights and distribution equivalent rights. The exercise price of unit options or unit appreciation rights awarded to participants is determined by the Audit, Conflicts and Governance Committee of the board of directors of our General Partner (“ACG Committee”) (at its discretion) at the date of grant and may be no less than the fair market value of the option award as of the date of grant. The 2006 LTIP is administered by the ACG Committee. Subject to adjustment as provided in the 2006 LTIP, awards with respect to up to an aggregate of 5,000,000 Units may be granted under the 2006 LTIP. We reimburse EPCO for the costs allocable to 2006 LTIP awards made to employees who work in our business. On April 30, 2007 and May 2, 2007, the non-employee directors of our General Partner were awarded 1,647 phantom units which payout in 2011 and 66,225 unit appreciation rights, which vest in 2012. On May 22, 2007, we granted 155,000 Unit options, 62,900 restricted Units and 338,479 unit appreciation rights to our employees, which vest in 2011, 2011 and 2012, respectively.
          The 2006 LTIP may be amended or terminated at any time by the board of directors of EPCO, which is the indirect parent company of our General Partner, or the ACG Committee; however, any material amendment, such as a material increase in the number of Units available under the plan or a change in the types of awards available under the plan, would require the approval of at least 50% of our unitholders. The ACG Committee is also

11


Table of Contents

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)
authorized to make adjustments in the terms and conditions of, and the criteria included in awards under the 2006 LTIP in specified circumstances. The 2006 LTIP is effective until December 8, 2016 or, if earlier, the time which all available Units under the 2006 LTIP have been delivered to participants or the time of termination of the 2006 LTIP by EPCO or the ACG Committee. After giving effect to outstanding Unit options and restricted Units at June 30, 2007, a total of 4,782,600 additional Units could be issued under the 2006 LTIP.

          We recognized $0.01 million of compensation expense associated with Unit options during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2007, total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested Unit options granted under the 2006 LTIP was an estimated $0.4 million. We expect to recognize this cost over a weighted-average period of 3.9 years.

          None of our restricted Units vested during the six months ended June 30, 2007. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized $0.1 million of compensation expense in connection with restricted Units. At June 30, 2007, total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted Units was $2.3 million, and these costs are expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 3.9 years.
     Unit Appreciation Rights and Phantom Units
          On April 30, 2007, the non-executive members of the board of directors were each awarded 549 phantom units under the 2006 LTIP. Each phantom unit will pay out in cash on April 30, 2011 or, if earlier, the date the director is no longer serving on the board, whether by voluntarily resignation or otherwise, and at such time each such phantom unit will receive the amount of cash distributions that we would have paid to our unitholders had the participant been the owner of the number of Units equal to the number of phantom units granted to the participant under this award. Phantom unit awards to non-employee directors are accounted for similar to SFAS 123(R) liability awards. We recognized a nominal amount of expense related to the phantom units during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007.
          On May 2, 2007, the non-executive members of the board of directors were each awarded 22,075 unit appreciation rights under the 2006 LTIP. The unit appreciation rights will be subject to five year cliff vesting and will vest earlier if the director dies or is removed from, or not re-elected or appointed to, the board for reasons other than his voluntary resignation or unwillingness to serve. When the unit appreciation rights become payable, the director will receive a payment in cash (or, in the sole discretion of the ACG Committee, Units or a combination of cash and Units) equal to the fair market value of the Units subject to the unit appreciation rights on the payment date over the fair market value of the Units subject to the unit appreciation rights on the date of grant.
          On May 22, 2007, we awarded 338,479 unit appreciation rights to our employees. The unit appreciation rights are subject to five year cliff vesting and are subject to forfeiture. When the unit appreciation rights become payable, the awards will be redeemed in cash (or, in the sole discretion of the ACG Committee, Units or a combination of cash and Units) equal to the fair market value of the Units on the payment date over the fair market value of the Units on the date of grant. Unit appreciation rights awarded to employees are accounted for as liability awards under SFAS 123(R) since the current intent is to cash-settle the awards. Unit appreciation rights awarded to non-employee directors are accounted for similar to SFAS 123(R) liability awards. We recognized $0.02 million of compensation expense associated with the unit appreciation rights during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007.
NOTE 4. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
          The TEPPCO Retirement Cash Balance Plan (“TEPPCO RCBP”) was a non-contributory, trustee-administered pension plan. The benefit formula for all eligible employees was a cash balance formula. Under a cash balance formula, a plan participant accumulated a retirement benefit based upon pay credits and current interest credits. The pay credits were based on a participant’s salary, age and service. We used a December 31 measurement date for this plan.
          Effective May 31, 2005, participation in the TEPPCO RCBP was frozen, and no new participants were eligible to be covered by the plan after that date. Effective June 1, 2005, EPCO adopted the TEPPCO RCBP for the benefit of its employees providing services to us. Effective December 31, 2005, all plan benefits accrued were frozen, participants received no additional pay credits after that date, and all plan participants were 100% vested regardless of their years of service. The TEPPCO RCBP plan was terminated effective December 31, 2005, and plan participants had the option to receive their benefits either through a lump sum payment in 2006 or through an

annuity. In April 2006, we received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) providing IRS approval of the plan termination. For those plan participants who elected to receive an annuity, we purchased an annuity contract from an insurance company in which the plan participants own the annuity, absolving us of any future obligation to the participants.
          In the fourth quarter of 2006, we recorded settlement charges of approximately $3.5 million in accordance with SFAS No. 88, Employers’ Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for Termination Benefits, relating to the TEPPCO RCBP for any existing unrecognized losses upon the plan termination and final distribution of the assets to the plan participants. At June 30, 2007, $0.3 million of the TEPPCO RCBP plan assets had not been distributed to plan participants. We do not expect to make further contributions to the TEPPCO RCBP in 2007.
          EPCO maintains a 401(k) plan for the benefit of employees providing services to us, and we reimburse EPCO for the cost of maintaining this plan in accordance with the ASA.
NOTE 5. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS – INTEREST RATE SWAPS
          In October 2001, TE Products entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge its exposure to changes in the fair value of its fixed rate 7.51% Senior Notes due 2028. We designated this swap agreement as a fair value hedge. The swap agreement has a notional amount of $210.0 million and matures in January 2028 to match the principal and maturity of the TE Products Senior Notes. Under the swap agreement, TE Products pays a floating rate of interest based on a three-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate, plus a spread of 147 basis points, and receives a fixed rate of interest of 7.51%. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized reductions in interest expense of $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, related to the difference between the fixed rate and the floating rate of interest on the interest rate swap. During the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we reviewed the hedge effectiveness of this interest rate swap and noted that no gain or loss from ineffectiveness was required to be recognized. The fair values of this interest rate swap were liabilities of approximately $9.3 million and $2.6 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
          During 2002, we entered into interest rate swap agreements, designated as fair value hedges, to hedge our exposure to changes in the fair value of our fixed rate 7.625% Senior Notes due 2012. The swap agreements had a combined notional amount of $500.0 million and matured in 2012 to match the principal and maturity of the 7.625% Senior Notes. Under the swap agreements, we paid a floating rate of interest based on a U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate, plus a spread, and received a fixed rate of interest of 7.625%. These swap agreements were later terminated in 2002 resulting in gains of $44.9 million. The gains realized from the swap terminations have been deferred as adjustments to the carrying value of the 7.625% Senior Notes and are being amortized using the effective interest method as reductions to future interest expense over the remaining term of the 7.625% Senior Notes. At June 30, 2007, the unamortized balance of the deferred gains was $25.6 million. In the event of early extinguishment of the 7.625% Senior Notes, any remaining unamortized gains would be recognized in the consolidated statement of income at the time of extinguishment.
          On January 20, 2006, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $200.0 million to hedge our exposure to increases in the benchmark interest rate underlying our variable rate revolving credit facility. These interest rate swaps mature in January 2008. Under the swap agreements, we pay a fixed rate of interest ranging from 4.67% to 4.695% and receive a floating rate based on a three-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate. In the third quarter of 2006, these swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. For the period from January 20, 2006 through the date these swaps were designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the swaps were recognized in earnings, which resulted in a $2.2 million reduction to interest expense. While these interest rate swaps remain in effect, future changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedges, to the extent the swaps

are effective, will be recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged interest costs are recognized in earnings. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the fair values of these interest rate swaps were assets of $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively. These interest rate swaps were de-designated as cash flow hedges on June 30, 2007.
          In October 2006 and February 2007, we executed a series of treasury rate lock agreements that extended through June 2007 for a notional amount totaling $300.0 million. These agreements, which were derivative instruments, were designated as cash flow hedges to offset our exposure to increases in the underlying U.S. Treasury benchmark rate that was used to establish the fixed interest rate for debt that we issued in May 2007. In May 2007, these treasury locks were terminated concurrent with the issuance of junior subordinated notes (see Note 11). The termination of the treasury locks resulted in gains of $1.4 million and was recorded in other comprehensive income. These gains are being amortized using the effective interest method as reductions to future interest expense over the fixed rate term of the junior subordinated notes, which is ten years. The weighted average rate under the treasury lock agreements was approximately 4.6%. The actual coupon rate of the debt issuance was comprised of the underlying U.S. Treasury benchmark rate, plus a credit spread premium for our debt security. In the event of early extinguishment of the junior subordinated notes, any remaining unamortized gains would be recognized in the consolidated statement of income at the time of extinguishment.
          In June 2007, we executed a forward treasury rate lock agreement that extends through January 31, 2008 for a notional amount of $50.0 million. This agreement, which is a derivative instrument, has been designated as a cash flow hedge to offset our exposure to increases in the underlying U.S. Treasury benchmark rate that is expected to be used to establish the fixed interest rate for debt that we expect to incur in 2008. The rate under the treasury lock agreement was 5.112%. The actual coupon rate of the expected debt will be comprised of the underlying U.S. Treasury benchmark rate, plus a credit spread premium at the date of issuance. At June 30, 2007, the fair value of the treasury lock was a liability of $0.2 million. To the extent effective, gains and losses on the value of the treasury lock will be deferred until the forecasted debt is issued and will be amortized to earnings over the life of the debt. No ineffectiveness was recognized as of June 30, 2007.

Seaway
          Through one of our indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, we own a 50% ownership interest in Seaway. The remaining 50% interest is owned by ConocoPhillips. We operate and commercially manage the Seaway assets. Seaway owns pipelines that carry imported, offshore and domestic onshore crude oil from a marine terminal at Freeport, Texas, to Cushing, Oklahoma, and from a marine terminal at Texas City, Texas, to refineries in the Texas City and Houston, Texas, areas. The Seaway Crude Pipeline Company Partnership Agreement provides for varying participation ratios throughout the life of Seaway. Our sharing ratio (including the amount of distributions we receive) changed from 60% to 40% on March 12, 2006, and as such, our share of revenue and expense of Seaway was 47% for 2006. Thereafter, we receive 40% of revenue and expense (and distributions) of Seaway. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we received distributions from Seaway of $7.4 million and $8.5 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we did not invest any additional funds in Seaway.
Centennial
          TE Products owns a 50% ownership interest in Centennial, and Marathon Petroleum Company LLC (“Marathon”) owns the remaining 50% interest. Centennial owns an interstate refined petroleum products pipeline extending from the upper Texas Gulf Coast to central Illinois. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, TE Products contributed $11.1 million to Centennial, of which $6.1 million was for contractual obligations that were created upon formation of Centennial and $5.0 million was for debt service requirements. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, TE Products contributed $2.5 million to Centennial. TE Products has received no cash distributions from Centennial since its formation.
MB Storage
          Through February 28, 2007, TE Products owned a 49.5% ownership interest in MB Storage and a 50% ownership interest in Mont Belvieu Venture, LLC (the general partner of MB Storage), and Louis Dreyfus Energy Services L.P. (“Louis Dreyfus”) owned the remaining interests. On March 1, 2007, TE Products sold its ownership interests in MB Storage and its general partner to Louis Dreyfus (see Note 9). MB Storage owns storage capacity at the Mont Belvieu fractionation and storage complex and a short haul transportation shuttle system that ties Mont Belvieu, Texas, to the upper Texas Gulf Coast energy marketplace. MB Storage is a service-oriented, fee-based venture serving the fractionation, refining and petrochemical industries with substantial capacity and flexibility for

the transportation, terminaling and storage of NGLs, LPGs and refined products. TE Products operated the facilities for MB Storage through February 28, 2007.
          For the year ended December 31, 2006, TE Products received the first $1.7 million per quarter (or $6.78 million on an annual basis) of MB Storage’s income before depreciation expense, as defined in the Agreement of Limited Partnership of MB Storage. Any amount of MB Storage’s 2006 income before depreciation expense in excess of $6.78 million was allocated evenly between TE Products and Louis Dreyfus. Depreciation expense on assets each party originally contributed to MB Storage was allocated between TE Products and Louis Dreyfus based on the net book value of the assets contributed. Depreciation expense on assets constructed or acquired by MB Storage subsequent to formation was allocated evenly between TE Products and Louis Dreyfus. For the period from January 1, 2007 through February 28, 2007 and for the six months ended June 30, 2006, TE Products’ sharing ratio in the earnings of MB Storage was approximately 56.0% and 61.4%, respectively. During the period from January 1, 2007 through February 28, 2007, TE Products received distributions from MB Storage of $10.4 million, and made no contributions to MB Storage. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, TE Products received distributions from MB Storage of $7.8 million and contributed $1.7 million to MB Storage.
Jonah
          On August 1, 2006, Enterprise, through its affiliate, Enterprise Gas Processing, LLC, became our joint venture partner by acquiring an interest in Jonah, the partnership through which we have owned our interest in the Jonah system. Prior to entering into the Jonah joint venture, Enterprise had managed the construction of the Phase V expansion and funded the initial costs under a letter of intent we entered into in February 2006. In connection with the joint venture arrangement, we and Enterprise plan to continue the Phase V expansion, which is expected to increase the system capacity of the Jonah system from 1.5 billion cubic feet (“Bcf”) per day to approximately 2.3 Bcf per day and to significantly reduce system operating pressures, which is anticipated to lead to increased production rates and ultimate reserve recoveries. The first portion of the expansion, which is expected to increase the system gathering capacity to approximately 2.0 Bcf per day, was completed in July 2007. The second portion of the expansion is expected to be completed during the first quarter of 2008. We expect to reimburse Enterprise for our share of the Phase V expansion costs. To the extent the costs exceed an agreed upon base cost estimate of $415.2 million, we and Enterprise will each pay our respective ownership share (approximately 80% and 20%, respectively) of the expansion costs that exceed the agreed upon base cost estimate.
           Enterprise manages the Phase V construction project. From August 1, 2006, we and Enterprise have equally shared the costs of the Phase V expansion. Through June 30, 2007, we have reimbursed Enterprise $180.5 million for 50% of the Phase V cost incurred by it (including its cost of capital of $1.3 million). At June 30, 2007, we had a payable to Enterprise for costs incurred of $10.9 million. During the fourth quarter of 2006, certain sections of new Phase V expansion pipe were commissioned and placed in service. Since December 2006, Enterprise has shared in the incremental cash flow resulting from the operation of those new facilities. After subsequent construction milestones are achieved, we and Enterprise will share partnership cash distributions and earnings based on a formula that takes into account the capital contributions of the parties, including expenditures by us prior to the expansion. Based on this formula in the partnership agreement, we will ultimately retain ownership of an approximate 80% interest in Jonah, with Enterprise owning the remaining 20% and serving as operator, with further costs and cash distributions being allocated based on such ownership interests. At June 30, 2007, our ownership interest in Jonah and our sharing ratio in the earnings of Jonah was 95.3%. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we received distributions from Jonah of $50.4 million, which included $11.6 million of distributions declared in 2006 and paid during the first quarter of 2007. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we contributed $86.2 million to Jonah. The joint venture is governed by a management committee comprised of two representatives approved by Enterprise and two representatives approved by us, each with equal voting power. The formation of the joint venture was reviewed and recommended for approval by the ACG Committee.

NOTE 9. DISPOSITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
Dispositions
     MB Storage
          On March 1, 2007, TE Products sold its 49.5% ownership interest in MB Storage, its 50% ownership interest in Mont Belvieu Venture, LLC (the general partner of MB Storage) and other related assets to Louis Dreyfus for a total of approximately $156.1 million in cash, which includes approximately $18.5 million for other TE Products assets. This sale was in compliance with the October 2006 order and consent agreement with the Bureau of Competition of the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) and was completed in accordance with the terms and conditions approved by the FTC in February 2007. We expect to use the proceeds from the transaction to partially fund our 2007 portion of the Jonah Phase V expansion and other recently announced organic growth projects. We recognized gains of approximately $59.6 million and $13.2 million related to the sale of our equity interests and other related assets of TE Products, respectively, which are included in gain on sale of ownership interest in MB Storage and gain on the sale of assets, respectively, in our statements of consolidated income.
          In accordance with a transition services agreement between TE Products and Louis Dreyfus effective as of March 1, 2007, TE Products will provide certain administrative services to MB Storage for a period of up to two years after the sale, for a fee equal to 110% of the direct costs and expenses TE Products and its affiliates incur to provide the transition services to MB Storage. Payments for these services will be made according to the terms specified in the transition services agreement.
     Other Refined Products Assets
          On January 23, 2007, we sold a 10-mile, 18-inch segment of pipeline to an affiliate of Enterprise for approximately $8.0 million in cash. These assets were part of our Downstream Segment and had a net book value of approximately $2.5 million. The sales proceeds were used to fund construction of a replacement pipeline in the area, in which the new pipeline provides greater operational capability and flexibility. We recognized a gain of approximately $5.5 million on this transaction, which is included in gain on sale of assets in our statements of consolidated income.
Discontinued operations
     Pioneer Plant
          On March 31, 2006, we sold our ownership interest in the Pioneer silica gel natural gas processing plant located near Opal, Wyoming, together with Jonah’s rights to process natural gas originating from the Jonah and Pinedale fields, located in southwest Wyoming, to an affiliate of Enterprise for $38.0 million in cash. The Pioneer plant was not an integral part of our Midstream Segment operations, and natural gas processing is not a core business for us. We have no continuing involvement in the operations or results of this plant. This transaction was reviewed and recommended for approval by the ACG Committee and a fairness opinion was rendered by an investment banking firm. The sales proceeds were used to fund organic growth projects, retire debt and for other general partnership purposes. The carrying value of the Pioneer plant at March 31, 2006, prior to the sale, was $19.7 million. Costs associated with the completion of the transaction were approximately $0.4 million.

          SFAS 142 requires that intangible assets with finite useful lives be amortized over their respective estimated useful lives. If an intangible asset has a finite useful life, but the precise length of that life is not known, that intangible asset shall be amortized over the best estimate of its useful life. At a minimum, we will assess the useful lives and residual values of all intangible assets on an annual basis to determine if adjustments are required. Amortization expense on intangible assets was $5.9 million and $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $11.8 million and $16.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amortization expense on excess investments included in equity earnings was $1.2 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $2.0 million and $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
          The values assigned to our intangible assets for natural gas gathering contracts on the Val Verde Gas Gathering Company, L.P. (“Val Verde”) system are amortized on a unit-of-production basis, based upon the actual throughput of the systems compared to the expected total throughput for the lives of the contracts. From time to time, we may obtain limited production forecasts and updated throughput estimates from some of the producers on the system, and as a result, we evaluate the remaining expected useful lives of the contract assets based on the best available information. Revisions to these estimates may occur as additional production information is made available to us.
          The values assigned to our fractionation agreement and other intangible assets are generally amortized on a straight-line basis. Our fractionation agreement is being amortized over its contract period of 20 years. The amortization periods for our other intangible assets, which include non-compete and other agreements, range from 3 years to 15 years. The value of $8.5 million assigned to our crude supply and transportation intangible customer contracts is being amortized on a unit-of-production basis.
          The value assigned to our excess investment in Centennial was created upon its formation. Approximately $30.0 million is related to a contract and is being amortized on a unit-of-production basis based upon the volumes transported under the contract compared to the guaranteed total throughput of the contract over a 10-year life. The

remaining $3.4 million is related to a pipeline and is being amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the pipeline, which is 35 years. The value assigned to our excess investment in Seaway was created upon acquisition of our 50% ownership interest in 2000. We are amortizing the excess investment in Seaway on a straight-line basis over a 39-year life related primarily to the life of the pipeline. The value assigned to our excess investment in Jonah was created as a result of interest capitalized on the construction of Jonah’s Phase V expansion. We will continue to capitalize interest on the construction of the expansion of the Jonah system until the construction is completed and placed into service. As portions of the expansion are placed into service, we will amortize the excess investment in Jonah on a straight-line basis over the life of the assets constructed.
          The following table sets forth the estimated amortization expense of intangible assets and the estimated amortization expense allocated to equity earnings for the years ending December 31:

Goodwill
          Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired. We account for goodwill under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which was issued by the FASB in July 2001. SFAS 142 prohibits amortization of goodwill, but instead requires testing for impairment at least annually. We test goodwill for impairment annually at December 31.
          To perform an impairment test of goodwill, we have identified our reporting units and have determined the carrying value of each reporting unit by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill, to those reporting units. We then determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the carrying value of the reporting unit. We will continue to compare the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying value on an annual basis to determine if an impairment loss has occurred. There have been no goodwill impairment losses recorded since the adoption of SFAS 142.
          The following table presents the carrying amount of goodwill at both June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, by business segment:

(1)   In accordance with SFAS No. 6, Classification of Short-Term Obligations Expected to be Refinanced, long-term debt reflects the classification of short-term obligations at June 30, 2007 as long-term. With respect to the 6.45% TE Products Senior Notes due in January 2008, we have the ability to use available credit capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility to fund the repayment of these Senior Notes.
Revolving Credit Facility
          We have in place a $700.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, including the issuance of letters of credit (“Revolving Credit Facility”), which matures on December 13, 2011. We may request up to two one-year extensions of the maturity date, subject to lender approval and satisfaction of certain other conditions. Commitments under the credit facility may be increased up to a maximum of $850.0 million upon our request, subject to lender approval and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. The interest rate is based, at our option, on either the lender’s base rate plus a spread, or LIBOR plus a spread in effect at the time of the borrowings. Financial covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility require that we maintain a ratio of Consolidated Funded Debt to Pro Forma EBITDA (as defined and calculated in the facility) of less than 4.75 to 1.00 (subject to adjustment for specified acquisitions) and a ratio of EBITDA to Interest Expense (as defined and calculated in the facility) of at least 3.00 to 1.00, in each case with respect to specified twelve month periods. Other restrictive covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make distributions in excess of Available Cash (see Note 12), incur liens, engage in specified transactions with affiliates and complete mergers, acquisitions and sales of assets. The credit agreement restricts the amount of outstanding debt of the Jonah joint venture to debt owing to the owners of its partnership interests and other third-party debt in the principal aggregate amount of $50.0 million and allows for the issuance of certain hybrid securities of up to 15% of our Consolidated Total Capitalization (as defined therein). In May 2007, we repaid approximately $295.0 million of the then outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Facility with proceeds received from the issuance of junior subordinated notes. At June 30, 2007, $200.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 5.86%. At June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with the covenants of the Revolving Credit Facility.

Senior Notes
          On January 27, 1998, TE Products issued $180.0 million principal amount of 6.45% Senior Notes due 2008, and $210.0 million principal amount of 7.51% Senior Notes due 2028 (collectively the “TE Products Senior Notes”). The 6.45% TE Products Senior Notes were issued at a discount of $0.3 million and are being accreted to their face value over the term of the notes. The 6.45% TE Products Senior Notes due 2008 may not be redeemed prior to their maturity on January 15, 2008. The 7.51% TE Products Senior Notes due 2028, issued at par, may be redeemed at any time after January 15, 2008, at the option of TE Products, in whole or in part, at the following redemption prices (expressed in percentages of the principal amount) during the twelve months beginning January 15 of the years indicated:
                         
    Redemption           Redemption

and thereafter at 100% of the principal amount, together in each case with accrued interest at the redemption date.
          The TE Products Senior Notes do not have sinking fund requirements. Interest on the TE Products Senior Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The TE Products Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of TE Products and rank pari passu with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of TE Products. The indenture governing the TE Products Senior Notes contains covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants limiting the creation of liens securing indebtedness and sale and leaseback transactions. However, the indenture does not limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness. At June 30, 2007, TE Products was in compliance with the covenants of the TE Products Senior Notes.
          On February 20, 2002, we issued $500.0 million principal amount of 7.625% Senior Notes due 2012. The 7.625% Senior Notes were issued at a discount of $2.2 million and are being accreted to their face value over the term of the notes. The Senior Notes may be redeemed at any time at our option with the payment of accrued interest and a make-whole premium determined by discounting remaining interest and principal payments using a discount rate equal to the rate of the United States Treasury securities of comparable remaining maturity plus 35 basis points. The indenture governing our 7.625% Senior Notes contains covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants limiting the creation of liens securing indebtedness and sale and leaseback transactions. However, the indenture does not limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness. At June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with the covenants of these Senior Notes.
          On January 30, 2003, we issued $200.0 million principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2013. The 6.125% Senior Notes were issued at a discount of $1.4 million and are being accreted to their face value over the term of the notes. The Senior Notes may be redeemed at any time at our option with the payment of accrued interest and a make-whole premium determined by discounting remaining interest and principal payments using a discount rate equal to the rate of the United States Treasury securities of comparable remaining maturity plus 35 basis points. The indenture governing our 6.125% Senior Notes contains covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants limiting the creation of liens securing indebtedness and sale and leaseback transactions. However, the indenture does not limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness. At June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with the covenants of these Senior Notes.

Junior Subordinated Notes
          In May 2007, we issued and sold $300.0 million in principal amount of fixed/floating, unsecured, long-term subordinated notes due June 1, 2067 (“Junior Subordinated Notes”). We used the proceeds from this subordinated debt to temporarily reduce borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and for general partnership purposes. Our payment obligations under the Junior Subordinated Notes are subordinated to all of our current and future senior indebtedness (as defined in the related indenture). TE Products, TEPPCO Midstream, TCTM and Val Verde (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) have jointly and severally guaranteed, on a junior subordinated basis, payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes.
          The indenture governing the Junior Subordinated Notes does not limit our ability to incur additional debt, including debt that ranks senior to or equally with the Junior Subordinated Notes. The indenture allows us to defer interest payments on one or more occasions for up to ten consecutive years, subject to certain conditions. The indenture also provides that during any period in which we defer interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Notes, subject to certain exceptions, (i) we cannot declare or make any distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of our equity securities; (ii) neither we nor the Subsidiary Guarantors will make, and we and the Subsidiary Guarantors will cause our respective majority-owned subsidiaries not to make, any payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, on or repay, purchase or redeem any of our or the Subsidiary Guarantors’ debt securities (including securities similar to the Junior Subordinated Notes) that contractually rank equally with or junior to the Junior Subordinated Notes or the guarantees, as applicable; and (iii) neither we nor the Subsidiary Guarantors will make, and we and the Subsidiary Guarantors will cause our respective majority-owned subsidiaries not to make, any payments under a guarantee of debt securities (including under a guarantee of debt securities that are similar to the Junior Subordinated Notes) that contractually ranks equally with or junior to the Junior Subordinated Notes or the guarantees, as applicable.
          The Junior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 7.000% from May 2007 to June 1, 2017, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2007. After June 1, 2017, the Junior Subordinated Notes will bear interest at a variable annual rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR rate for the related interest period plus 2.7775%, payable quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year commencing September 1, 2017. Interest payments may be deferred on a cumulative basis for up to ten consecutive years, subject to certain provisions. Deferred interest will accumulate additional interest at the then-prevailing interest rate on the Junior Subordinated Notes. The Junior Subordinated Notes mature in June 2067. The Junior Subordinated Notes are redeemable in whole or in part prior to June 1, 2017 for a “make-whole” redemption price and thereafter at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest. The Junior Subordinated Notes are also redeemable prior to June 1, 2017 in whole (but not in part) upon the occurrence of certain tax or rating agency events at specified redemption prices.
          In connection with the issuance of the Junior Subordinated Notes, we and our Subsidiary Guarantors entered into a replacement capital covenant in favor of holders of a designated series of senior long-term indebtedness (as provided in the underlying documents) pursuant to which we and our Subsidiary Guarantors agreed for the benefit of such debt holders that we would not redeem or repurchase or otherwise satisfy, discharge or defease any of the Junior Subordinated Notes on or before June 1, 2037, unless, subject to certain limitations, during the 180 days prior to the date of that redemption, repurchase, defeasance or purchase, we have or one of our subsidiaries has received a specified amount of proceeds from the sale of qualifying securities that have characteristics that are the same as, or more equity-like than, the applicable characteristics of the Junior Subordinated Notes. The replacement capital covenant is not a term of the indenture or the Junior Subordinated Notes.

EPCO, Inc. TPP Employee Unit Purchase Plan
          At a special meeting of our unitholders on December 8, 2006, our unitholders approved the EPCO, Inc. TPP Employee Unit Purchase Plan (the “Unit Purchase Plan”), which provides for discounted purchases of our Units by employees of EPCO and its affiliates. Generally, any employee who (1) has been employed by EPCO or any of its designated affiliates for three consecutive months, (2) is a regular, active and full time employee and (3) is scheduled to work at least 30 hours per week is eligible to participate in the Unit Purchase Plan, provided that employees covered by collective bargaining agreements (unless otherwise specified therein) and 5% owners of us, EPCO or any affiliate are not eligible to participate.
          A maximum of 1,000,000 Units may be delivered under the Unit Purchase Plan (subject to adjustment as provided in the plan). Units to be delivered under the plan may be acquired by the custodian of the plan in the open market or directly from us, EPCO, any of EPCO’s affiliates or any other person; however, it is generally intended that Units are to be acquired from us. Eligible employees may elect to have a designated whole percentage (ranging from 1% to 10%) of their eligible compensation for each pay period withheld for the purchase of Units under the plan. EPCO and its affiliated employers will periodically remit to the custodian the withheld amounts, together with an additional amount by which EPCO will bear approximately 10% of the cost of the Units for the benefit of the participants. Unit purchases will be made following three month purchase periods over which the withheld amounts are to be accumulated. We reimburse EPCO for all such costs allocated to employees who work in our business.
          The plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of EPCO. The Unit Purchase Plan may be amended or terminated at any time by the board of directors of EPCO, or the Chairman of the Board or Vice Chairman of the Board of EPCO; however, any material amendment, such as a material increase in the number of Units available under the plan or an increase in the employee discount amount, would also require the approval of at least 50% of our unitholders. The Unit Purchase Plan is effective until December 8, 2016, or, if earlier, at the time that all available Units under the plan have been purchased on behalf of the participants or the time of termination of the plan by EPCO or the Chairman or Vice Chairman of EPCO. As of June 30, 2007, no Units have been issued to employees under this plan.

General Partner’s Interest
          At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had deficit balances of $78.9 million and $85.7 million, respectively, in our General Partner’s equity account. These negative balances do not represent assets to us and do not represent obligations of the General Partner to contribute cash or other property to us. The General Partner’s equity account generally consists of its cumulative share of our net income less cash distributions made to it plus capital contributions that it has made to us (see our Statement of Consolidated Partners’ Capital for a detail of the General Partner’s equity account). For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our General Partner was allocated $30.5 million (representing 16.4%) of our net income and received $23.8 million in cash distributions.
          Capital Accounts, as defined under our Partnership Agreement, are maintained for our General Partner and our limited partners. The Capital Account provisions of our Partnership Agreement incorporate principles established for U.S. federal income tax purposes and are not comparable to the equity accounts reflected under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in our financial statements. In connection with the amendment of our Partnership Agreement, the General Partner’s obligation to make capital contributions to maintain its 2% capital account was eliminated.
          Net income is allocated between the General Partner and the limited partners in the same proportion as aggregate cash distributions made to the General Partner and the limited partners during the period. This is generally consistent with the manner of allocating net income under our Partnership Agreement. Net income determined under our Partnership Agreement, however, incorporates principles established for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is not comparable to net income reflected under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States in our financial statements.
          Cash distributions that we make during a period may exceed our net income for the period. We make quarterly cash distributions of all of our Available Cash, generally defined as consolidated cash receipts less consolidated cash disbursements and cash reserves established by the General Partner in its reasonable discretion. Cash distributions in excess of net income allocations and capital contributions during previous years, resulted in a deficit in the General Partner’s equity account at December 31, 2006 and June 30, 2007. Future cash distributions that exceed net income will result in an increase in the deficit balance in the General Partner’s equity account.
          According to the Partnership Agreement, in the event of our dissolution, after satisfying our liabilities, our remaining assets would be divided among our limited partners and the General Partner generally in the same proportion as Available Cash but calculated on a cumulative basis over the life of the Partnership. If a deficit balance still remains in the General Partner’s equity account after all allocations are made between the partners, the General Partner would not be required to make whole any such deficit.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
          SFAS No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive Income requires certain items such as foreign currency translation adjustments, gains or losses associated with pension or other postretirement benefits, prior service costs or credits associated with pension or other postretirement benefits, transition assets or obligations associated with pension or other postretirement benefits and unrealized gains and losses on certain investments in debt and equity securities to be reported in a financial statement. As of and for the six months ended June 30, 2007, the components of accumulated other comprehensive income reflected on our consolidated balance sheet was composed of crude oil hedges, interest rate swaps and unrecognized losses associated with the TEPPCO RCBP. The series of crude oil hedges have forward positions throughout 2007 and 2008, the last of which ends in January 2009. While the crude oil hedges are in effect, changes in their fair values, to the extent the hedges are effective, are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income until they are recognized in net income in future periods. The interest

rate swaps mature in January 2008, are related to our variable rate Revolving Credit Facility and are designated as cash flow hedges beginning in the third quarter of 2006. These interest rate swaps were de-designated as cash flow hedges on June 30, 2007 (see Note 5).

NOTE 13. BUSINESS SEGMENTS
          We have three reporting segments:
    Our Downstream Segment, which is engaged in the transportation, marketing and storage of refined products, LPGs and petrochemicals;
 
    Our Upstream Segment, which is engaged in the gathering, transportation, marketing and storage of crude oil and distribution of lubrication oils and specialty chemicals; and
 
    Our Midstream Segment, which is engaged in the gathering of natural gas, fractionation of NGLs and transportation of NGLs.
          The amounts indicated below as “Partnership and Other” relate primarily to intersegment eliminations and assets that we hold that have not been allocated to any of our reporting segments.
          Our Downstream Segment revenues are earned from transportation, marketing and storage of refined products and LPGs, intrastate transportation of petrochemicals, sale of product inventory and other ancillary services. We generally realize higher revenues in the Downstream Segment during the first and fourth quarters of each year since these operations are somewhat seasonal. Refined products volumes are generally higher during the second and third quarters because of greater demand for gasolines during the spring and summer driving seasons. LPGs volumes are generally higher from November through March due to higher demand for propane, a major fuel for residential heating. The two largest operating expense items of the Downstream Segment are labor and electric power. Our Downstream Segment also includes the results of operations of the northern portion of the Dean Pipeline, which transports refinery grade propylene from Mont Belvieu to Point Comfort, Texas. Our Downstream Segment also includes our equity investments in MB Storage, which we sold on March 1, 2007 (see Note 9), and in Centennial (see Note 8).
          Our Upstream Segment revenues are earned from gathering, transporting, marketing and storing crude oil and distributing lubrication oils and specialty chemicals, principally in Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico and the Rocky Mountain region. Marketing operations consist primarily of aggregating purchased crude oil along our pipeline systems, or from third party pipeline systems, and arranging the necessary transportation logistics for the ultimate sale or delivery of the crude oil to local refineries, marketers or other end users. Revenues are also generated from trade documentation and pumpover services, primarily at Cushing, Oklahoma, and Midland, Texas. Our Upstream Segment also includes our equity investment in Seaway (see Note 8). Seaway consists of large diameter pipelines that transport crude oil from Seaway’s marine terminals on the U.S. Gulf Coast to Cushing,

Oklahoma, a crude oil distribution point for the central United States, and to refineries in the Texas City and Houston areas.
          Our Midstream Segment revenues are earned from the gathering of coal bed methane and conventional natural gas in the San Juan Basin in New Mexico and Colorado, through Val Verde; transportation of NGLs from two trunkline NGL pipelines in South Texas, two NGL pipelines in East Texas and a pipeline system (Chaparral) from West Texas and New Mexico to Mont Belvieu; and the fractionation of NGLs in Colorado. Our Midstream Segment also includes our equity investment in Jonah (see Note 8). Jonah, which is a joint venture between us and an affiliate of Enterprise, owns a natural gas gathering system in the Green River Basin in southwestern Wyoming. Prior to August 1, 2006, when Jonah was wholly-owned by us, operating results for Jonah were included in the consolidated Midstream Segment operating results. Effective August 1, 2006, we entered into the joint venture with Enterprise’s affiliate, upon which Jonah was deconsolidated, and its operating results since August 1, 2006, have been accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Operating results of the Pioneer plant, which we sold to an Enterprise affiliate in March 2006, are shown as discontinued operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006.

          The limited partner interests in us that are owned or controlled by EPCO and its affiliates, other than those interests owned by Dan Duncan LLC and certain trusts affiliated with Dan L. Duncan, are pledged as security under the credit facility of an affiliate of EPCO. This credit facility contains customary and other events of default relating to EPCO and certain affiliates, including Enterprise GP Holdings, Enterprise and us. All of the membership interests in our General Partner and the limited partner interests in us that are owned or controlled by Enterprise GP Holdings are pledged as security under its credit facility.
          Unless noted otherwise, our agreements with EPCO or its affiliates are not the result of arm’s length transactions. As a result, we cannot provide assurance that the terms and provisions of such agreements are at least as favorable to us as we could have obtained from unaffiliated third parties.
          We do not have any employees. We are managed by our General Partner, and all of our management, administrative and operating functions are performed by employees of EPCO, pursuant to the ASA. We reimburse EPCO for the allocated costs of its employees who perform operating functions for us and for costs related to its other management and administrative employees (see Note 1).
     Sale of Pioneer plant
          On March 31, 2006, we sold our ownership interest in the Pioneer silica gel natural gas processing plant located near Opal, Wyoming, together with Jonah’s rights to process natural gas originating from the Jonah and Pinedale fields, located in southwest Wyoming, to an affiliate of Enterprise for $38.0 million in cash. The Pioneer plant was not an integral part of our Midstream Segment operations, and natural gas processing is not a core business for us. We have no continuing involvement in the operations or results of this plant. This transaction was reviewed and recommended for approval by the ACG Committee and a fairness opinion was rendered by an investment banking firm. The sales proceeds were used to fund organic growth projects, retire debt and for other general partnership purposes. The carrying value of the Pioneer plant at March 31, 2006, prior to the sale, was $19.7 million. Costs associated with the completion of the transaction were approximately $0.4 million.
     Jonah Joint Venture
          On August 1, 2006, Enterprise (through an affiliate) became our joint venture partner by acquiring an interest in Jonah, the partnership through which we have owned our interest in the Jonah system. Through June 30, 2007, we have reimbursed Enterprise $180.5 million for 50% of the Phase V cost incurred by it (including its cost of capital of $1.3 million). At June 30, 2007, we had a payable to Enterprise for costs incurred of $10.9 million (see Note 8). At June 30, 2007, we had a receivable from Jonah of $1.5 million for operating expenses.
          In conjunction with the formation of the joint venture, we have agreed to indemnify Enterprise from any and all losses, claims, demands, suits, liability, costs and expenses arising out of or related to breaches of our representations, warranties, or covenants related to the formation of the Jonah joint venture, Jonah’s ownership or operation of the Jonah system prior

to the effective date of the joint venture, and any environmental activity, or violation of or liability under environmental laws arising from or related to the condition of the Jonah system prior to the effective date of the joint venture. In general, a claim for indemnification cannot be filed until the losses suffered by Enterprise exceed $1.0 million, and the maximum potential amount of future payments under the indemnity is limited to $100.0 million. However, if certain representations or warranties are breached, the maximum potential amount of future payments under the indemnity is capped at $207.6 million. All indemnity payments are net of insurance recoveries that Enterprise may receive from third-party insurers. We carry insurance coverage that may offset any payments required under the indemnity. We do not expect that these indemnities will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
     Sale of General Partner to Enterprise GP Holdings
          On May 7, 2007, all of the membership interests in our General Partner, together with 4,400,000 of our Units, were sold by DFI to Enterprise GP Holdings, a publicly traded partnership also controlled indirectly by EPCO. Mr. Duncan and his affiliates, including EPCO, Enterprise GP Holdings and Dan Duncan LLC, a privately held company controlled by him, control us, our General Partner and Enterprise and its affiliates, including Duncan Energy Partners L.P. As of May 7, 2007, Enterprise GP Holdings owns and controls the 2% general partner interest in us and has the right (through its 100% ownership of our General Partner) to receive the incentive distribution rights associated with the general partner interest. Enterprise GP Holdings, DFI and other entities controlled by Mr. Duncan own 16,691,550 of our Units.
     Other Transactions
          On January 23, 2007, we sold a 10-mile, 18-inch segment of pipeline to an affiliate of Enterprise for approximately $8.0 million. These assets were part of our Downstream Segment and had a net book value of approximately $2.5 million. The sales proceeds were used to fund construction of a replacement pipeline in the area, in which the new pipeline provides greater operational capability and flexibility. We recognized a gain of approximately $5.5 million on this transaction (see Note 9).
          In June 2007, we purchased 300,000 barrels of propane linefill from an affiliate of Enterprise for approximately $14.4 million.
Relationship with Energy Transfer Equity
          In May 2007, Enterprise GP Holdings acquired non-controlling ownership interests in Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. (“Energy Transfer Equity”) and LE GP, LLC (“ETE GP”), the general partner of Energy Transfer Equity. Following the transaction, Enterprise GP Holdings owns approximately 34.9% of the membership interests in ETE GP and 38,976,090 common units of Energy Tranfer Equity representing approximately 17.6% of the outstanding limited partner interests in Energy Transfer Equity. Additionally, Enterprise GP Holdings acquired all of the membership interests in our General Partner and 4,400,000 of our Units (see Note 1). As a result of these transactions, ETE GP and Energy Transfer Equity have become related parties to us. For the two months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded a nominal amount (less than $0.1 million) of revenue from a monthly storage contract with one of Energy Transfer Equity’s subsidiaries and did not incur any operating costs or expenses.
Relationship with Unconsolidated Affiliates
          Our significant related party revenues and expense transactions with unconsolidated affiliates consist of management, rental and other revenues, transportation expense related to the transportation of crude oil on Seaway and rental expense related to the lease of pipeline capacity on Centennial. For additional information regarding our unconsolidated affiliates, see Note 8.

NOTE 15. EARNINGS PER UNIT
          Basic earnings per Unit is computed by dividing net income or loss allocated to limited partner interest by the weighted average number of distribution-bearing Units outstanding during a period. The amount of net income allocated to limited partner interest is derived by subtracting our General Partner’s share of the net income from total net income. Diluted earnings per Unit is computed by dividing net income or loss allocated to limited partner interests by the sum of (i) the weighted-average number of distribution-bearing Units outstanding during a period (as used in determining basic earnings per Unit); and (ii) the number of incremental Units resulting from the assumed exercise of dilutive unit options outstanding during a period (the “incremental option units”).
          In a period of net operating losses, restricted units and incremental option units are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per Unit due to their antidilutive effect. The dilutive incremental option units are calculated using the treasury stock method, which assumes that proceeds from the exercise of all in-the-money options at the end of each period are used to repurchase Units at an average market value during the period. The amount of Units remaining after the proceeds are exhausted represents the potentially dilutive effect of the securities.
          In May 2007, we granted 155,000 Unit options to our employees (see Note 3). These Unit options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per Unit due to their antidilutive effect as they represent Unit options with an exercise price greater than the average market price of a Unit for the period.

NOTE 16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
          In the fall of 1999, the General Partner and TE Products were named as defendants in a lawsuit in Jackson County Circuit Court, Jackson County, Indiana, styled Ryan E. McCleery and Marcia S. McCleery, et al. and Michael and Linda Robson, et al. v. Texas Eastern Corporation, et al. In the lawsuit, the plaintiffs contend, among other things, that we and other defendants stored and disposed of toxic and hazardous substances and hazardous wastes in a manner that caused the materials to be released into the air, soil and water. They further contend that the release caused damages to the plaintiffs. In their complaint, the plaintiffs allege strict liability for both personal injury and property damage together with gross negligence, continuing nuisance, trespass, criminal mischief and loss of consortium. The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory, punitive and treble damages. On March 18, 2005, we entered into Release and Settlement Agreements with the McCleery plaintiffs dismissing all of these plaintiffs’ claims on terms that did not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Although we did not settle with all plaintiffs and we therefore remain named parties in the Michael and Linda Robson, et al. v. Texas Eastern Corporation, et al. action, a co-defendant has agreed, by Cooperative Defense Agreement, to fund the defense. In a trial verdict rendered April 26, 2007, the plaintiffs in this case were awarded no damages from TE Products, and $0.2 million from the co-defendant. Consequently, the settlement of these claims did not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
          On December 21, 2001, TE Products was named as a defendant in a lawsuit in the 10th Judicial District, Natchitoches Parish, Louisiana, styled Rebecca L. Grisham et al. v. TE Products Pipeline Company, Limited

Partnership. In this case, the plaintiffs contend that our pipeline, which crosses the plaintiffs’ property, leaked toxic products onto their property and, consequently caused damages to them. We have filed an answer to the plaintiffs’ petition denying the allegations, and we are defending ourselves vigorously against the lawsuit. The plaintiffs assert damages attributable to the remediation of the property of approximately $1.4 million. This case has been stayed pending the completion of remediation pursuant to the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (“LDEQ”) requirements. We do not believe that the outcome of this lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
          In 1991, we were named as a defendant in a matter styled Jimmy R. Green, et al. v. Cities Service Refinery, et al. as filed in the 26th Judicial District Court of Bossier Parish, Louisiana. The plaintiffs in this matter reside or formerly resided on land that was once the site of a refinery owned by one of our co-defendants. The former refinery is located near our Bossier City facility. Plaintiffs have claimed personal injuries and property damage arising from alleged contamination of the refinery property. The plaintiffs have recently pursued certification as a class and have significantly increased their demand to approximately $175.0 million. We have never owned any interest in the refinery property made the basis of this action, and we do not believe that we contributed to any alleged contamination of this property. While we cannot predict the ultimate outcome, we do not believe that the outcome of this lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
          On September 18, 2006, Peter Brinckerhoff, a purported unitholder of TEPPCO, filed a complaint in the Court of Chancery of New Castle County in the State of Delaware, in his individual capacity, as a putative class action on behalf of our other unitholders, and derivatively on our behalf, concerning proposals made to our unitholders in our definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on September 11, 2006 (“Proxy Statement”) and other transactions involving us and Enterprise or its affiliates. Mr. Brinckerhoff filed an amended complaint on July 12, 2007. The amended complaint names as defendants the General Partner; the Board of Directors of the General Partner; EPCO; Enterprise and certain of its affiliates and Dan L. Duncan. We are named as a nominal defendant.
          The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that certain of the transactions adopted at a special meeting of our unitholders on December 8, 2006, including a reduction of the General Partner’s maximum percentage interest in our distributions in exchange for Units (the “Issuance Proposal”), were unfair to our unitholders and constituted a breach by the defendants of fiduciary duties owed to our unitholders and that the Proxy Statement failed to provide our unitholders with all material facts necessary for them to make an informed decision whether to vote in favor of or against the proposals. The amended complaint further alleges that, since Mr. Duncan acquired control of the General Partner in 2005, the defendants, in breach of their fiduciary duties to us and our unitholders, have caused us to enter into certain transactions with Enterprise or its affiliates that were unfair to us or otherwise unfairly favored Enterprise or its affiliates over us. The amended complaint alleges that such transactions include the Jonah joint venture entered into by us and an Enterprise affiliate in August 2006 (citing the fact that our ACG Committee did not obtain a fairness opinion from an independent investment banking firm in approving the transaction), and the sale by us to an Enterprise affiliate of the Pioneer plant in March 2006. As more fully described in the Proxy Statement, the ACG Committee recommended the Issuance Proposal for approval by the Board of Directors of the General Partner. The amended complaint also alleges that Richard S. Snell, Michael B. Bracy and Murray H. Hutchison, constituting the three members of the ACG Committee, cannot be considered independent because of their alleged ownership of securities in Enterprise and its affiliates and/or their relationships with Mr. Duncan.
          The amended complaint seeks relief (i) awarding damages for profits and special benefits allegedly obtained by defendants as a result of the alleged wrongdoings in the complaint; (ii) rescinding all actions taken pursuant to the Proxy vote and (iii) awarding plaintiff costs of the action, including fees and expenses of his attorneys and experts.

          In addition to the proceedings discussed above, we have been, in the ordinary course of business, a defendant in various lawsuits and a party to various other legal proceedings, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. We believe that the outcome of these lawsuits and other proceedings will not individually or in the aggregate have a future material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Regulatory Matters
          Our pipelines and other facilities are subject to multiple environmental obligations and potential liabilities under a variety of federal, state and local laws and regulations. These include, without limitation: the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; the Clean Air Act; the Federal Water Pollution Control Act or the Clean Water Act; the Oil Pollution Act; and analogous state and local laws and regulations. Such laws and regulations affect many aspects of our present and future operations, and generally require us to obtain and comply with a wide variety of environmental registrations, licenses, permits, inspections and other approvals, with respect to air emissions, water quality, wastewater discharges, and solid and hazardous waste management. Failure to comply with these requirements may expose us to fines, penalties and/or interruptions in our operations that could influence our results of operations. If an accidental leak, spill or release of hazardous substances occurs at any facilities that we own, operate or otherwise use, or where we send materials for treatment or disposal, we could be held jointly and severally liable for all resulting liabilities, including investigation, remedial and clean-up costs. Likewise, we could be required to remove or remediate previously disposed wastes or property contamination, including groundwater contamination. Any or all of this could materially affect our results of operations and cash flows.
          We believe that our operations and facilities are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, and that the cost of compliance with such laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position. We cannot ensure, however, that existing environmental regulations will not be revised or that new regulations will not be adopted or become applicable to us. The clear trend in environmental regulation is to place more restrictions and limitations on activities that may be perceived to affect the environment, and thus there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of future expenditures for environmental regulation compliance or remediation, and actual future expenditures may be different from the amounts we currently anticipate. Revised or additional regulations that result in increased compliance costs or additional operating restrictions, particularly if those costs are not fully recoverable from our customers, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we have an accrued liability of $2.0 million and $1.8 million, respectively, related to sites requiring environmental remediation activities.
          In 1999, our Arcadia, Louisiana, facility and adjacent terminals were directed by the Remediation Services Division of the LDEQ to pursue remediation of environmental contamination. Effective March 2004, we executed an access agreement with an adjacent industrial landowner who is located upgradient of the Arcadia facility. This agreement enables the landowner to proceed with remediation activities at our Arcadia facility for which it has accepted shared responsibility. At June 30, 2007, we have an accrued liability of $0.1 million for remediation costs at our Arcadia facility. We do not expect that the completion of the remediation program proposed to the LDEQ will have a future material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
          On July 27, 2004, we received notice from the United States Department of Justice (“DOJ”) of its intent to seek a civil penalty against us related to our November 21, 2001, release of approximately 2,575 barrels of jet fuel from our 14-inch diameter pipeline located in Orange County, Texas. The DOJ, at the request of the Environmental Protection Agency, is seeking a civil penalty against us for alleged violations of the Clean Water Act (“CWA”) arising out of this release, as well as three smaller spills at other locations in 2004 and 2005. We have agreed with

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)
the DOJ on a proposed penalty of $2.9 million, along with our commitment to implement additional spill prevention measures, and expect to finalize the settlement by the end of 2007. We do not expect this settlement to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
          One of the spills encompassed in our current settlement discussion with the DOJ involved a 37,450-gallon release from Seaway on May 13, 2005 at Colbert, Oklahoma. This release was remediated under the supervision of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, but resulted in claims by neighboring landowners that have been settled for approximately $0.7 million. In addition, the release resulted in a Corrective Action Order by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Among other requirements of this Order, we were required to reduce the operating pressure of Seaway by 20% until completion of required corrective actions. The corrective actions were completed and on June 1, 2006, we increased the operating pressure of Seaway back to 100%. We have a 50% ownership interest in Seaway, and any settlement should be covered by our insurance. We do not expect the settlement of the Colbert release to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
          On September 18, 2005, a propane release and fire occurred at our Todhunter facility, near Middletown, Ohio. The incident resulted in the death of one of our employees; there were no other injuries. Repairs to the impacted facilities have been completed. On March 17, 2006, we received a citation from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) arising out of this incident, with a penalty of $0.1 million. The settlement of this citation did not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
          We are also in negotiations with the U.S. Department of Transportation with respect to a notice of probable violation that we received on April 25, 2005, for alleged violations of pipeline safety regulations at our Todhunter facility, with a proposed $0.4 million civil penalty. We responded on June 30, 2005, by admitting certain of the alleged violations, contesting others and requesting a reduction in the proposed civil penalty. We do not expect any settlement, fine or penalty to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
          The FERC, pursuant to the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887, as amended, the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and rules and orders promulgated thereunder, regulates the tariff rates for our interstate common carrier pipeline operations. To be lawful under that Act, interstate tariff rates, terms and conditions of service must be just and reasonable and not unduly discriminatory, and must be on file with FERC. In addition, pipelines may not confer any undue preference upon any shipper. Shippers may protest, and the FERC may investigate, the lawfulness of new or changed tariff rates. The FERC can suspend those tariff rates for up to seven months. It can also require refunds of amounts collected with interest pursuant to rates that are ultimately found to be unlawful. The FERC and interested parties can also challenge tariff rates that have become final and effective. Because of the complexity of rate making, the lawfulness of any rate is never assured. A successful challenge of our rates could adversely affect our revenues.
          The FERC uses prescribed rate methodologies for approving regulated tariff rates for transporting crude oil and refined products. Our interstate tariff rates are either market-based or derived in accordance with the FERC’s indexing methodology, which currently allows a pipeline to increase its rates by a percentage linked to the producer price index for finished goods. These methodologies may limit our ability to set rates based on our actual costs or may delay the use of rates reflecting increased costs. Changes in the FERC’s approved methodology for approving rates could adversely affect us. Adverse decisions by the FERC in approving our regulated rates could adversely affect our cash flow.
          The intrastate liquids pipeline transportation services we provide are subject to various state laws and regulations that apply to the rates we charge and the terms and conditions of the services we offer. Although state regulation typically is less onerous than FERC regulation, the rates we charge and the provision of our services may be subject to challenge.

          Although our natural gas gathering systems are generally exempt from FERC regulation under the Natural Gas Act of 1938, FERC regulation still significantly affects our natural gas gathering business. In recent years, the FERC has pursued pro-competition policies in its regulation of interstate natural gas pipelines. If the FERC does not continue this approach, it could have an adverse effect on the rates we are able to charge in the future. In addition, our natural gas gathering operations could be adversely affected in the future should they become subject to the application of federal regulation of rates and services. Additional rules and legislation pertaining to these matters are considered and adopted from time to time. We cannot predict what effect, if any, such regulatory changes and legislation might have on our operations, but we could be required to incur additional capital expenditures.
Contractual Obligations
          In May 2007, we issued $300.0 million of Junior Subordinated Notes due June 2067 (see Note 11). Other than the issuance of the Junior Subordinated Notes, there have been no significant changes in our schedule of maturities of long-term debt or other contractual obligations since the year ended December 31, 2006.
          The following table summarizes our maturities of long-term debt obligations at June 30, 2007. A description of this long-term debt follows (in millions):

          Centennial entered into credit facilities totaling $150.0 million, and at June 30, 2007, $140.0 million was outstanding under those credit facilities and expires 2024. In April 2007, $10.0 million matured and was repaid by Centennial. TE Products and Marathon have each guaranteed one-half of the repayment of Centennial’s outstanding debt balance (plus interest) under these credit facilities. If Centennial defaults on its outstanding balance, the estimated maximum potential amount of future payments for TE Products and Marathon is $70.0 million each at June 30, 2007. Provisions included in the $140.0 million Centennial credit facility required that certain financial metrics be achieved and for the guarantees to be removed by May 2007. These metrics were not achieved, and the provisions of the Centennial debt agreements were amended in May 2007 to require the guarantees to remain throughout the life of the debt. As a result of the guarantee, TE Products recorded an obligation of $9.9 million, which represents the present value of the estimated amount, based on a probability estimate, we would have to pay under the guarantee.
          TE Products, Marathon and Centennial have entered into a limited cash call agreement, which allows each member to contribute cash in lieu of Centennial procuring separate insurance in the event of a third-party liability arising from a catastrophic event. There is an indefinite term for the agreement and each member is to contribute cash in proportion to its ownership interest, up to a maximum of $50.0 million each. As a result of the catastrophic event guarantee, TE Products recorded a $4.2 million obligation, which represents the present value of the estimated amount, based on a probability estimate, we would have to pay under the guarantee. If a catastrophic event were to occur and we were required to contribute cash to Centennial, contributions exceeding our deductible might be covered by our insurance, depending upon the nature of the catastrophic event.
          One of our subsidiaries, TCO, has entered into master equipment lease agreements with finance companies for the use of various equipment. We have guaranteed the full and timely payment and performance of TCO’s obligations under the agreements. Generally, events of default would trigger our performance under the guarantee. The maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantee is not estimable, but would include base rental payments for both current and future equipment, stipulated loss payments in the event any equipment is stolen, damaged, or destroyed and any future indemnity payments. We carry insurance coverage that may offset any payments required under the guarantees. We do not believe that any performance under the guarantee would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

          On February 24, 2005, the General Partner was acquired from Duke Energy Field Services, LLC by DFI. The General Partner owns a 2% general partner interest in us and is our general partner. On March 11, 2005, the Bureau of Competition of the FTC delivered written notice to DFI’s legal advisor that it was conducting a non-public investigation to determine whether DFI’s acquisition of our General Partner may substantially lessen competition or violate other provisions of federal antitrust laws. We and our General Partner cooperated fully with this investigation.
          On October 31, 2006, an FTC order and consent agreement ending its investigation became final. The order required the divestiture of our equity interest in MB Storage, its general partner and certain related assets to one or more FTC-approved buyers in a manner approved by the FTC and subject to its final approval. The order contained no minimum price for the divestiture and required that we provide the acquirer or acquirers the opportunity to hire employees who spend more than 10% of their time working on the divested assets. The order also imposed specified operational, reporting and consent requirements on us including, among other things, in the event that we acquire interests in or operate salt dome storage facilities for NGLs in specified areas. The FTC approved a buyer and sale terms for our equity interests and certain related assets, and we closed on such sale on March 1, 2007 (see Note 9).
          On December 19, 2006, we announced that we had signed an agreement with Motiva Enterprises, LLC (“Motiva”) for us to construct and operate a new refined products storage facility to support the proposed expansion of Motiva’s refinery in Port Arthur, Texas. Under the terms of the agreement, we will construct a 5.4 million barrel refined products storage facility for gasoline and distillates. The agreement also provides for a 15-year throughput and dedication of volume, which will commence upon completion of the refinery expansion. The project includes the construction of 20 storage tanks, five 3.5-mile product pipelines connecting the storage facility to Motiva’s refinery, 15,000 horsepower of pumping capacity, and distribution pipeline connections to the Colonial, Explorer and Magtex pipelines. The storage and pipeline project is expected to be completed by January 1, 2010. As a part of a separate but complementary initiative, we will construct an 11-mile, 20-inch pipeline to connect the new storage facility in Port Arthur to our refined products terminal in Beaumont, Texas, which is the primary origination facility for our mainline system. These projects will facilitate connections to additional markets through the Colonial, Explorer and Magtex pipeline systems and provide the Motiva refinery with access to our pipeline system. The total cost of the project is expected to be approximately $243.0 million, including $23.0 million for the 11-mile, 20-inch pipeline. By providing access to several major outbound refined product pipeline systems, shippers should have enhanced flexibility and new transportation options. Under the terms of the agreement, if Motiva cancels the agreement prior to the commencement date of the project, Motiva will reimburse us the actual reasonable expenses we have incurred after the effective date of the agreement, including both internal and external costs that would be capitalized as a part of the project. If the cancellation were to occur in 2007, Motiva would also pay costs incurred to date plus a five percent cancellation fee, with the fee increasing to ten percent after 2007.

NOTE 18. SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION
          TE Products, TCTM, TEPPCO Midstream and Val Verde have issued full, unconditional, and joint and several guarantees of our Senior Notes, our Revolving Credit Facility and our Junior Subordinated Notes (collectively “the Guaranteed Debt”). In addition, during the 2006 period presented below and extending through July 31, 2006, Jonah also had provided the same guarantees of our Senior Notes and Revolving Credit Facility. Effective August 1, 2006, Enterprise, through its affiliate, Enterprise Gas Processing, LLC, became our joint venture partner by acquiring an interest in Jonah (see Note 8). Jonah was released as a guarantor of the Senior Notes and Revolving Credit Facility, effective upon the formation of the joint venture. For periods prior to August 1, 2006, TE Products, TCTM, TEPPCO Midstream, Jonah and Val Verde are collectively referred to as the “Guarantor Subsidiaries” and for periods after August 1, 2006, references to “Guarantor Subsidiaries” exclude Jonah.
          The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial information reflects our separate accounts, the combined accounts of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the combined accounts of our other non-guarantor subsidiaries, the combined consolidating adjustments and eliminations and our consolidated accounts for the dates and periods indicated.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
(Unaudited)
NOTE 19. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Treasury Locks
          In July and August 2007, we executed forward treasury rate lock agreements that extend through January 31, 2008 for a notional amount totaling $100.0 million. These agreements which are a derivative instruments, have been designated as cash flow hedges to offset our exposure to increases in the underlying U.S. Treasury benchmark rate that is expected to be used to establish the fixed interest rate for debt that we expect to incur in 2008. The average rate under the treasury lock agreements was 4.88%. The actual coupon rate of the expected debt will be comprised of the underlying U.S. Treasury benchmark rate, plus a credit spread premium at the date of issuance.
Acquisition of Assets
          On July 31, 2007, we purchased assets from Duke Energy Ohio, Inc. and Ohio River Valley Propane, LLC for approximately $6.0 million. The assets, which will become part of our Downstream Segment, consist of an active 170,000 barrel LPG storage cavern, the associated piping and related equipment and a one bay truck rack. These assets are located adjacent to our Todhunter facility near Middleton, Ohio and are connected to our existing LPG pipeline. We funded the purchase through borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
          The matters discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) include “forward-looking statements.” All statements that express belief, expectation, estimates or intentions, as well as those that are not statements of historical facts are forward-looking statements. The words “proposed”, “anticipate”, “potential”, “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “expect”, “estimate”, “believe”, “intend”, “plan”, “seek” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Without limiting the broader description of forward-looking statements above, we specifically note that statements included in this document that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such things as future distributions, estimated future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), business strategy and measures to implement strategy, competitive strengths, goals, expansion and growth of our business and operations, plans, references to future success, references to intentions as to future matters and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. While we believe our expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, whether actual results and developments will conform with our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including general economic, market or business conditions, the opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by us, competitive actions by other pipeline companies, changes in laws or regulations and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. For example, the demand for refined products is dependent upon the price, prevailing economic conditions and demographic changes in the markets served, trucking and railroad freight, agricultural usage and military usage; the demand for propane is sensitive to the weather and prevailing economic conditions; the demand for petrochemicals is dependent upon prices for products produced from petrochemicals; the demand for crude oil and petroleum products is dependent upon the price of crude oil and the products produced from the refining of crude oil; and the demand for natural gas is dependent upon the price of natural gas and the locations in which natural gas is drilled. We are also subject to regulatory factors such as the amounts we are allowed to charge our customers for the services we provide on our regulated pipeline systems. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this document are qualified by these cautionary statements, and we cannot assure you that actual results or developments that we anticipate will be realized or, even if substantially realized, will have the expected consequences to or effect on us or our business or operations. Also note that we provide additional cautionary discussion of risks and uncertainties under the captions “Risk Factors,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
          The forward-looking statements contained in this Report speak only as of the date hereof. Except as required by the federal and state securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or any other reason. All forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this Report and in our future periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this Report may not occur.
Overview of Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
          A summary of the significant accounting policies we have adopted and followed in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Certain of these accounting policies require the use of estimates. As more fully described therein, the following estimates, in our opinion, are subjective in nature, require the exercise of judgment and involve complex analysis: revenue and expense accruals, including accruals for power costs, property taxes and crude oil margins; reserves for environmental matters; depreciation methods and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment; and goodwill and intangible assets. These estimates are based on our knowledge and understanding of current conditions and actions we may take in the future. Changes in these estimates will occur as a result of the

passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Overview of Business
          Certain factors are key to our operations. These include the safe, reliable and efficient operation of the pipelines and facilities that we own or operate while meeting the regulations that govern the operation of our assets and the costs associated with such regulations. We operate and report in three business segments:
    Our Downstream Segment, which is engaged in the transportation, marketing and storage of refined products, liquefied petroleum gases (“LPGs”) and petrochemicals;
 
    Our Upstream Segment, which is engaged in the gathering, transportation, marketing and storage of crude oil and distribution of lubrication oils and specialty chemicals; and
 
    Our Midstream Segment, which is engaged in the gathering of natural gas, transportation of natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) and fractionation of NGLs.
Please refer to Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Overview of Business in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 for an overview of how revenues are earned in each segment and other factors affecting the results and financial position of our businesses.
          Consistent with our business strategy, we are focused on our continued growth through expansion of assets that we own and through the construction and acquisition of assets. We continuously evaluate possible acquisitions of assets that would complement our current operations, including assets which, if acquired, would have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Recent Developments
          On May 7, 2007, DFI GP Holdings L.P. sold all of the membership interests of our General Partner to Enterprise GP Holdings, a publicly traded partnership, also controlled indirectly by EPCO (see Note 1 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
          In May 2007, we issued and sold $300.0 million in principal amount of fixed/floating, unsecured, long-term subordinated notes due June 1, 2067 (“Junior Subordinated Notes”). We used the proceeds from this subordinated debt to temporarily reduce borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes. Our payment obligations under the Junior Subordinated Notes are subordinated to all of our current and future senior indebtedness (as defined in the related indenture). TE Products, TEPPCO Midstream, TCTM, and Val Verde Gas Gathering Company, L.P. (“Val Verde”) (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) have jointly and severally guaranteed, on a junior subordinated basis, payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes (see Note 11 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

Refined products volumes are generally higher during the second and third quarters because of greater demand for gasolines during the spring and summer driving seasons.

LPGs volumes are generally higher from November through March due to higher demand for propane, a major fuel for residential heating. Our Downstream Segment also includes the results of operations of the northern portion of the Dean Pipeline, which transports refinery grade propylene from Mont Belvieu to Point Comfort, Texas.
     Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
          Effective November 1, 2006, we purchased a refined products terminal in Aberdeen, Mississippi, from Mississippi Terminal and Marketing Inc. We conduct distribution and marketing operations whereby we provide terminaling services for our throughput and exchange partners at this terminal. We also purchase refined products from our throughput partners that we in turn sell through spot sales at the Aberdeen truck rack to independent wholesalers and retailers of refined products. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, sales related to these refined products marketing activities were $9.4 million and purchases of refined products for these activities were $9.3 million.
          Revenues from refined products transportation increased $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to an increase in the refined products average rate per barrel. The average rate increased primarily due to increases in system tariffs that went into effect in July 2006 and February 2007. The increase in the refined products average rate was partially due to the impact of Centennial Pipeline LLC (“Centennial”) on the average rates. Movements during the three months ended June 30, 2007 on Centennial were a smaller percentage of the total deliveries when compared to the prior year period deliveries. When the proportion of refined products deliveries from a Centennial origin decrease, the average TEPPCO tariff increases. Conversely, if a larger proportion of the refined products deliveries from a Centennial origin increase, TEPPCO’s average tariff declines.
          Revenues from LPGs transportation increased $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, due to higher deliveries of propane in the Northeast market area as a result of colder than normal weather in April 2007 and lower deliveries of propane in the 2006 period in the Midwest and Northeast market areas as a result of high propane prices delaying summer fill programs and scheduled maintenance, known as a turnaround, at a mid-continent petrochemical plant. Revenues were lower in the prior year period due to lower isobutane deliveries as a result of a Midwest refinery turnaround in 2006. LPG transportation volumes in the 2006 period include approximately 2.8 million barrels related to short-haul propane movements on a pipeline that was sold on March 1, 2007 to Louis Dreyfus Energy Services L.P. (“Louis Dreyfus”). The LPGs average rate per barrel increased 49% from the prior year period primarily as a result of decreased short-haul deliveries and increased long-haul deliveries during the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the prior year period.
          Other operating revenues decreased $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to lower margins on product sales and a decrease in refined products tender deduction revenue, partially offset by lower costs in upsystem product exchanges.
          Costs and expenses, excluding purchases of petroleum products, increased $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.6 million primarily due to assets placed into service and asset retirements in 2007. Operating fuel and power increased $1.1 million primarily due to higher power rates as a result of the increased cost of fuel. Operating expenses decreased $1.5 million primarily due to a $2.1 million decrease in pipeline inspection and repair costs associated with our integrity management program; a $0.7 million prior year regulatory penalty assessed for past incidents; $0.6 million of prior year severance expense as a result of the migration to a shared services environment with EPCO; a $0.4 million decrease in current operating costs related to the migration to a shared services environment with EPCO, including integrating such departments as engineering and information technology; and $0.4 million of prior year expenses relating to the proposed reduction in the General Partner’s maximum percentage interest in our distributions; partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in rental expense on the Centennial pipeline capacity lease and a $1.5 million increase in product measurement losses. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.5 million primarily due to $0.8 million of severance expense in the prior year

period resulting from the migration to a shared services environment with EPCO, partially offset by $0.5 million of higher office rental expenses. Taxes – other than income taxes decreased $0.3 million primarily due to true-ups of property tax accruals.
          Net losses from equity investments increased for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, as shown below (in thousands):

          Equity losses in Centennial decreased $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to higher transportation revenues and lower costs relating to pipeline inspection and repair costs associated with its integrity management program. Equity losses in MB Storage increased $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to the sale of MB Storage on March 1, 2007 to Louis Dreyfus (see Note 9 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). During the second quarter of 2007, we recorded $1.1 million of expense related to post closing adjustments associated with the March 1, 2007 sale of TE Products’ interest in MB Storage.
          Other income – net increased $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, due to higher interest income earned on cash investments and other investing activities.
     Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
          For the six months ended June 30, 2007, sales related to refined products marketing activities were $18.8 million and purchases of refined products were $18.7 million.
          Revenues from refined products transportation increased $7.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to increases in the average rate per barrel. The average rate increased primarily due to an increase in system tariffs, which went into effect in April and July 2006 and February 2007. The increase in the refined products average rate was also partially due to the impact of Centennial on the average rates. Movements during the six months ended June 30, 2007 on Centennial were a smaller percentage of the total deliveries when compared to the prior year period deliveries.
          Revenues from LPGs transportation increased $10.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, due to increased deliveries of propane in the Midwest and Northeast market areas as a result of colder than normal weather that extended through April 2007 and lower deliveries of propane in the 2006 period in the Midwest and Northeast market areas as a result of warmer than normal winter weather, high propane prices and plant turnarounds. LPG transportation volumes in the 2006 period include approximately 1.8 million barrels of short-haul propane movements, through a pipeline that was sold on March 1, 2007 to Louis Dreyfus. The LPGs average rate per barrel increased from the prior period primarily as a result of decreased short-haul deliveries and increased long-haul deliveries during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006.
          Other operating revenues decreased $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to decreased margins on product sales, increased costs of upsystem product exchanges and lower refined product tender deduction revenue partially offset by increased refined products rental revenue related to Texas Genco LLC (“Genco”) assets.

          Costs and expenses, excluding purchases of petroleum products, decreased $18.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized a net gain of $18.7 million from the sales of various assets in the Downstream Segment to Enterprise and Louis Dreyfus (see Note 9 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Operating expense decreased $3.5 million primarily due to a $2.6 million decrease in pipeline inspection and repair costs associated with our integrity management program; a $2.5 million decrease in operating costs related to the migration to a shared services environment with EPCO, including integrating such departments as engineering and information technology; a $1.3 million decrease in pipeline operating costs primarily as a result of the timing of projects in the current period; a $0.7 million prior year regulatory penalty assessed for past incidents; $0.6 million of prior year severance expense as a result of the migration to a shared services environment with EPCO; and $0.4 million of prior year expenses relating to the proposed reduction in the General Partner’s maximum percentage interest in our distributions; partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in rental expense on the Centennial pipeline capacity lease, a $1.5 million increase in product measurement losses and $1.0 million of higher insurance premiums. General and administrative expenses decreased $1.5 million primarily due to $1.9 million of severance expense in the prior year period resulting from the migration to a shared services environment with EPCO, partially offset by $0.5 million of higher office rental expenses. Depreciation expense increased $2.4 million primarily due to assets placed into service and asset retirements in 2006 and 2007. Operating fuel and power increased $2.2 million primarily due to increased mainline throughput and higher power rates as a result of the increased cost of fuel. Taxes – other than income taxes increased $0.2 million primarily due to a higher property asset base in the 2007 period and true-ups of property tax accruals.
          Net losses from equity investments increased for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, as shown below (in thousands):

          Equity losses in Centennial decreased $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to higher transportation revenues and volumes primarily due to colder than normal winter weather in the Northeast and lower costs relating to pipeline inspection and repair costs associated with its integrity management program. Equity earnings in MB Storage decreased $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to the sale of MB Storage on March 1, 2007 to Louis Dreyfus, $1.1 million of expense in the second quarter of 2007 related to post closing adjustments associated with the sale of TE Products’ interest in MB Storage and higher system maintenance expenses, partially offset by higher revenues and higher operating fuel and power in the 2006 period resulting from higher power rates and increased volumes. For the 2007 and 2006 periods, TE Products’ sharing ratios in the earnings of MB Storage were approximately 56.0% and 61.4%, respectively.
          On March 1, 2007, TE Products sold its 49.5% ownership interest in MB Storage and its 50% ownership interest in Mont Belvieu Venture, LLC (the general partner of MB Storage) to Louis Dreyfus for approximately $137.6 million in cash (see Note 9 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). We recognized a gain of approximately $59.6 million related to the sale of our equity interests, which is included in gain on sale of ownership interest in MB Storage in our statements of consolidated income.
          Other income – net increased $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, due to higher interest income earned on cash investments and other investing activities.

(3)   On April 1, 2006, we adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 04-13. The period from January 1, 2006 through March 31, 2006 (included in the six months ended June 30, 2006) was not adjusted for the adoption of EITF 04-13, as retroactive restatement was not permitted, which impacts comparability.
          Information presented in the following table includes the margin of the Upstream Segment, which may be viewed as a non-GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) financial measure under the rules of the SEC. We calculate the margin of the Upstream Segment as revenues generated from the sale of crude oil and lubrication oil, and transportation of crude oil, less the costs of purchases of crude oil and lubrication oil, in each case, prior to the elimination of intercompany sales, revenues and purchases between wholly-owned subsidiaries. We believe that margin is a more meaningful measure of financial performance than sales and purchases of crude oil and lubrication oil due to the significant fluctuations in sales and purchases caused by variations in the level of volumes marketed and prices for products marketed. Additionally, we use margin internally to evaluate the financial performance of the Upstream Segment because it excludes expenses that are not directly related to the marketing and sales activities

          On April 1, 2006, we adopted EITF 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty, which resulted in crude oil inventory purchases and sales under buy/sell transactions, which were previously recorded as gross purchases and sales, to be treated as inventory exchanges in our statements of consolidated income. EITF 04-13 reduced gross revenues and purchases, but did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Under the consensus reached in EITF 04-13, buy/sell transactions are reported as non-monetary exchanges and consequently not presented on a gross basis in our statements of consolidated income. Implementation of EITF 04-13 reduced revenues and purchases of petroleum products on our statements of consolidated income by approximately $699.7 million and $1,084.7 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, and $313.7 million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006. The revenues and purchases of petroleum products associated with buy/sell transactions that are reported on a gross basis in our statement of consolidated income in the six months ended June 30, 2006 are approximately $275.4 million. Under the provisions of the consensus, retroactive restatement of buy/sell transactions reported in prior periods was not permitted.
     Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
          Sales of petroleum products and purchases of petroleum products decreased $350.0 million and $350.3 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006. Operating income increased $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006. The decreases in sales and purchases were primarily due to an 8% decrease in the price of crude oil based upon New York Mercantile Exchange (“NYMEX”) pricing, partially offset by increased volumes marketed. The decrease in costs and expenses discussed below, partially offset by the decrease in the average price of crude oil were the primary factors resulting in an increase in operating income. Crude oil marketing margin decreased $0.2 million primarily due to increased transportation costs, partially offset by more favorable market conditions in the 2006 period as compared to the 2007 period, increased volumes marketed and a $0.7 million unrealized gain related to marking crude oil grade and location swap contracts to current market value. Crude oil transportation revenues increased slightly with increased transportation revenues and volumes on the Red River system primarily related to movements on higher tariff segments, partially offset by lower transportation revenues on the South Texas system and the Basin system primarily related to decreased volumes transported and lower third-party transportation volumes primarily due to unexpected temporary refinery shutdowns in the 2007 period. Lubrication oil sales margin increased slightly primarily due to increased fuel and lubrication oil volumes, partially offset by a lower average margin per gallon on sales of lubrication oils. Crude oil terminaling revenues decreased $0.5 million as a result of decreased pumpover volumes at Cushing, Oklahoma, and Midland, Texas. Terminaling volumes at Cushing decreased 24% from prior year period primarily due to unexpected temporary refinery shutdowns in the 2007 period that affected the demand for crude oil at Cushing.
          Other operating revenues remained virtually unchanged for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to consistent revenues from documentation and other services to support customers’ trading activity at Midland and Cushing in the second quarter of 2007 as compared with the second quarter of 2006.
          Costs and expenses, excluding expenses associated with purchases of crude oil and lubrication oil, decreased $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006. Operating expenses decreased $1.5 million from the prior year period primarily due to a $1.9 million increase in product measurement gains, a $0.4 million decrease in insurance premiums and $0.4 million of prior year severance expense as a result of the migration to a shared services environment with EPCO, partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in pipeline operating and maintenance expense primarily as a result of the timing of projects. Operating fuel and power decreased $0.1 million primarily as a result of decreased power rates in the 2007 period. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 million primarily due to a $0.3 million decrease in labor and benefits expense, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative consulting services and supplies and

expenses. Taxes – other than income taxes decreased $0.1 million due to true-ups of property tax accruals. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.7 million primarily due to assets placed in service in 2006.
          Equity earnings from our investment in Seaway decreased $3.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006. Our sharing ratio of the revenue and expense of Seaway for 2007 is 40%, while for 2006, it was 47% (see Note 8 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Equity earnings from our investment in Seaway also decreased due to lower transportation volumes, which were negatively impacted by the unexpected temporary shutdown of several regional refineries for maintenance and repairs. Long-haul volumes on Seaway averaged 115,000 barrels per day during the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with 246,000 barrels per day during the three months ended June 30, 2006. For further information on distributions from Seaway, see Note 8 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
     Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
          Sales of petroleum products and purchases of petroleum products decreased $909.4 million and $919.5 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006. Operating income increased $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decreases in sales and purchases were primarily a result of an 8% decrease in the price of crude oil based upon NYMEX pricing and the effects of the adoption of EITF 04-13, which reduced each of revenues and purchases of petroleum products by $1,084.7 million for the 2007 period as compared with $313.7 million for the 2006 period, partially offset by increased volumes transported and marketed. The decrease in the average price of crude oil, partially offset by increased costs and expenses discussed below, were the primary factors resulting in an increase in operating income. Crude oil marketing margin increased $8.5 million, primarily due to favorable market conditions, increased volumes marketed and a $0.7 million unrealized gain related to marking crude oil grade and location swap contracts to current market value, partially offset by increased transportation costs. Crude oil transportation revenues increased $1.5 million primarily due to higher revenues on our Red River system related to movements on higher tariff segments and increased transportation volumes and revenues on our South Texas system and West Texas systems, partially offset by decreases in transportation volumes on lower tariff segments of our Basin system. Crude oil terminaling revenues increased $1.0 million as a result of increased pumpover volumes at Midland and Cushing. Lubrication oil sales margin increased $0.1 million primarily due to increased fuel and lubrication oil volumes, partially offset by a lower average margin per gallon on sales of lubrication oils.
          Other operating revenues increased $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to higher revenues from documentation and other services to support customers’ trading activity at Midland and Cushing.
          Costs and expenses, excluding expenses associated with purchases of crude oil and lubrication oil, increased $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.5 million primarily due to assets placed in service in 2006. Operating expenses increased $0.9 million from the prior year period primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in pipeline operating and maintenance expense primarily as a result of the timing of projects and a $1.3 million increase in labor and benefits expense associated with our incentive compensation plans and other higher labor expense, partially offset by a $2.3 million increase in product measurement gains and a $0.7 million decrease in pipeline repair and maintenance expense associated with our integrity management program. Operating fuel and power decreased $0.3 million primarily as a result of decreased power rates in the 2007 period, partially offset by higher transportation volumes. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 million primarily due to nominal decreases in labor and benefits expense, partially offset by nominal increases in general and administrative consulting services and supplies and expenses. Taxes – other than income taxes decreased $0.1 million due to true-ups of property tax accruals.
          Equity earnings from our investment in Seaway decreased $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to the decrease in the sharing ratio from

47% to 40% (see Note 8 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Equity earnings from our investment in Seaway also decreased due to lower transportation volumes, which were negatively impacted by the unexpected temporary shutdown of several regional refineries for maintenance and repairs. Long-haul volumes on Seaway averaged 154,000 barrels per day during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with 252,000 barrels per day during the six months ended June 30, 2006. These decreases were partially offset by higher expenses in the 2006 period related to pipeline integrity costs for corrective measures taken for the pipeline release in May 2005, increased environmental remediation and assessment costs, higher operating fuel and power costs relating to the use of a drag reducing agent and higher power rates.
          After a release occurred on the Seaway pipeline in May 2005, the maximum operating pressure on the pipeline system was reduced by 20% until the cause of the failure was determined. Corrective measures were implemented upon the release in 2005 and were completed during the second quarter of 2006. Seaway operated at reduced maximum pressure through May 2006. On June 1, 2006, Seaway’s operating pressure was increased to 100%. As a result of operating at reduced maximum pressure, we used a drag reducing agent to increase the flow of product through the pipeline system during the period when operating pressures were reduced. The drag reducing agent allowed us to maintain the higher volumes transported, but also increased our operating costs. The reduced pressure did not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows (see Note 16 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).

(1)   Effective August 1, 2006, with the formation of a joint venture with Enterprise, Jonah was deconsolidated and operating results after August 1, 2006 are included in equity earnings (see Note 8 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). However, the table includes Jonah’s volume and average rate information for the full three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
 
(2)   Volumes for the 2006 period have been revised to exclude barrels associated with capacity leases from which revenues are classified as other operating revenues.
          Through July 31, 2006, Jonah’s operating results were fully consolidated in the Midstream Segment operating results. Effective August 1, 2006, with the formation of a joint venture with Enterprise, Jonah, the partnership through which we have owned our interest in the Jonah system, was deconsolidated and has been subsequently accounted for as an equity investment. Operating results for Jonah for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 are reported as equity earnings. At June 30, 2007, our ownership interest in Jonah and our sharing in the earnings of Jonah for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately 95.3% (98.0% of revenues).
     Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
          For the 2006 period, sales from petroleum products relating to natural gas marketing activities were $13.8 million and purchases of petroleum products were $12.9 million. As a service to certain small producers, in late 2005, we began to aggregate purchases of wellhead gas on Jonah and re-sell the aggregated quantities at key Jonah delivery points in order to facilitate throughput on Jonah. The purchases and sales were generally contracted to occur in the same calendar month to minimize price risk. During the second quarter of 2006, gas purchase and sales

contracts were finalized and executed and the marketing of gas on the Jonah system began. Effective August 1, 2006, with the deconsolidation of Jonah, sales and purchases of natural gas are reported in equity earnings.
          Revenues from the gathering of natural gas decreased $26.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to a decrease of $25.2 million resulting from the deconsolidation of Jonah on August 1, 2006. Natural gas gathering revenues from the Val Verde system decreased $0.8 million and volumes gathered decreased 3.5 Bcf for the three months ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to the natural decline of coal bed methane production in the fields in which the Val Verde gathering system operates and lower volumes from a third party natural gas gathering system connected to Val Verde, partially offset by an increase in the average fee. Val Verde’s average natural gas gathering fee per MMBtu increased 3% primarily due to annual rate escalations, partially offset by lower volumes from a third party natural gas connection that has lower rates. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, Val Verde’s gathering volumes averaged 478 MMcf per day, compared with 516 MMcf per day for the three months ended June 30, 2006.
          Revenues from the transportation of NGLs increased $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to an increase in the average rates on the Chaparral and Panola Pipelines and an increase in volumes transported on the Dean Pipeline. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in volumes transported on the Chaparral and Panola Pipelines and decreased volumes resulting from taking the Wilcox Pipeline out of service in December 2006. The average NGL transportation rate per barrel increased from the prior year period as a result of higher average rates per barrel on the Chaparral and Panola Pipelines.
          Other operating revenues decreased $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease resulting from the deconsolidation of Jonah on August 1, 2006, partially offset by a $0.7 million increase on the Panola Pipeline primarily due to increased revenues from a pipeline capacity lease.
          Costs and expenses, excluding purchases of petroleum products, decreased $13.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006. Operating expenses decreased $8.7 million primarily due to a $4.1 million decrease resulting from the deconsolidation of Jonah on August 1, 2006, $2.5 million of favorable imbalance valuations primarily on Chaparral, $1.9 million of expense in the 2006 period related to the formation of the Jonah joint venture with Enterprise and increased expenses in the 2006 period as a result of the migration to a shared services environment with EPCO, partially offset by $1.3 million of higher pipeline inspection and repair costs associated with our integrity management program. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $5.0 million due to the deconsolidation of Jonah. Taxes – other than income taxes decreased $0.6 million primarily due to the deconsolidation of Jonah. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.5 million primarily due to transition costs in the 2006 period from the migration to a shared services environment with EPCO. Operating fuel and power increased $0.9 million primarily due to higher fuel costs on Chaparral.
          Equity earnings of $22.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 were from our ownership interest in the Jonah joint venture with Enterprise, which was formed effective August 1, 2006. Since August 1, 2006, revenues and costs and expenses of Jonah have been included in equity earnings based upon our ownership interest in Jonah. Prior to August 1, 2006, Jonah was wholly-owned, and its revenues and costs and expenses were included in the individual revenues and costs and expenses line items. Jonah’s net income for the three months ended June 30, 2007, increased $9.3 million, compared with the prior year period, primarily due to increased revenues and volumes generated from completion of Phase IV of the Jonah expansion project in February 2006 and increased revenues and volumes generated from the completion of a portion of Phase V of the expansion project in the fourth quarter of 2006, partially offset by increased operating costs relating to these expansions. For the three months ended June 30, 2007, Jonah’s gathering volumes averaged approximately 1.5 Bcf per day, compared with approximately 1.2 Bcf per day for the three months ended June 30, 2006.

65


Table of Contents

Jonah’s volumes gathered increased 28.5 Bcf for the three months ended June 30, 2007, primarily as a result of completion of the Phase IV expansion and partial completion of a portion of the Phase V expansion, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006. Jonah’s average fee per MMBtu decreased 2% primarily due to slightly higher system wellhead pressures during the 2007 period. The decreases in the natural gas sales average fee per MMBtu and condensate sales average rate per barrel for the three months ended June 30, 2007, were primarily a result of lower market prices compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006.
     Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
          For the 2006 period, sales from petroleum products relating to natural gas marketing activities were $13.8 million and purchases of petroleum products were $12.9 million. Effective August 1, 2006, with the deconsolidation of Jonah, sales and purchases of natural gas are reported in equity earnings.
          Revenues from the gathering of natural gas decreased $52.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to a decrease of $49.9 million resulting from the deconsolidation of Jonah on August 1, 2006. Natural gas gathering revenues from the Val Verde system decreased $2.1 million and volumes gathered decreased 5.2 Bcf for the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to winter weather production issues during the first quarter of 2007 and the natural decline of coal bed methane production in the fields in which the Val Verde gathering system operates. Val Verde’s average natural gas gathering fee per MMBtu decreased 1% primarily due to a third party natural gas connection that had incremental volumes in the 2006 period at higher rates as compared to the 2007 period. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Val Verde’s gathering volumes averaged 481 MMcf per day, compared with 510 MMcf per day for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
          Revenues from the transportation of NGLs increased $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to an increase in the volumes transported on the Chaparral and Dean Pipelines and an increase in the average rate on the Chaparral Pipeline. These increases were partially offset by decreased volumes resulting from taking the Wilcox Pipeline out of service in December 2006.
          Other operating revenues decreased $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to a $3.0 million decrease resulting from the deconsolidation of Jonah on August 1, 2006, partially offset by a $1.3 million increase on the Panola Pipeline primarily due to increased revenues from a pipeline capacity lease. Fractionation revenues decreased approximately $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 20, 2006, primarily as a result of lower volumes from slightly reduced production of NGLs, which was affected by colder weather in the area. The average rate per barrel for the fractionation of NGLs increased 6% primarily due to the rate structure in the agreement; as volumes increase, the rate at which the NGLs are fractionated decrease.
          Costs and expenses, excluding purchases of petroleum products, decreased $19.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006. Operating expenses decreased $10.6 million primarily due to a $7.2 million decrease resulting from the deconsolidation of Jonah on August 1, 2006, $1.9 million of expense in the 2006 period related to the formation of the Jonah joint venture with Enterprise, $1.6 million of favorable imbalance valuations and product measurement costs primarily on Chaparral and a decrease in salaries and wages, partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in pipeline inspection and repair costs associated with our integrity management program and a $0.9 million increase in insurance expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $10.1 million primarily due to the deconsolidation of Jonah. Taxes – other than income taxes decreased $1.2 million primarily due to the deconsolidation of Jonah. General and administrative expenses decreased $0.1 million due to higher salaries and wages, partially offset by transition costs in the 2006 period from the migration to a shared services environment with EPCO. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, a gain of $1.4 million was recognized on the sales of various equipment at Val Verde. Operating fuel and power increased $0.9 million primarily due to higher fuel costs and increased transportation volumes on Chaparral.
          Equity earnings of $41.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 were from our ownership interest in the Jonah joint venture with Enterprise, which was formed effective August 1, 2006. Beginning August 1, 2006, revenues and costs and expenses of Jonah are now included in equity earnings based upon our ownership interest in

Jonah. Prior to August 1, 2006, Jonah was wholly-owned, and its revenues and costs and expenses were included in the individual revenues and costs and expenses line items. Jonah’s net income for the six months ended June 30, 2007, increased $14.1 million, compared with the prior year period, primarily due to increased revenues and volumes generated from completion of Phase IV of the Jonah expansion project in February 2006 and increased revenues and volumes generated from the completion of a portion of Phase V of the expansion project in the fourth quarter of 2006, partially offset by increased operating costs relating to these expansions. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, Jonah’s gathering volumes averaged approximately 1.5 Bcf per day, compared with approximately 1.2 Bcf per day for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Jonah’s volumes gathered increased 52.4 Bcf for the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily as a result of completion of the Phase IV expansion and partial completion of a portion of the Phase V expansion, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006. Jonah’s average fee per MMBtu decreased 2% primarily due to slightly higher system wellhead pressures during the 2007 period. Jonah’s condensate sales volumes increased for the six months ended June 30, 2007, primarily due to the increase in gathering volumes, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006. The decrease in Jonah’s natural gas sales average fee per MMBtu for the six months ended June 30, 2007, was primarily a result of lower market prices compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our sharing in the revenues of Jonah was 98.0% (95.3% of earnings), compared with 100% in the prior year period, as a result of certain milestones provided for in the joint venture agreement being reached in the construction of the Phase V expansion (see Note 8 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
     Discontinued Operations
          On March 31, 2006, we sold our ownership interest in the Pioneer silica gel natural gas processing plant located near Opal, Wyoming, together with Jonah’s rights to process natural gas originating from the Jonah and Pinedale fields, located in southwest Wyoming, to an affiliate of Enterprise for $38.0 million in cash. The Pioneer plant was not an integral part of our Midstream Segment operations, and natural gas processing is not a core business for us. We have no continuing involvement in the operations or results of this plant. This transaction was reviewed and recommended for approval by the Audit, Conflicts and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors of our General Partner (“ACG Committee”) and a fairness opinion was rendered by an investment banking firm. The sales proceeds were used to fund organic growth projects, retire debt and for other general partnership purposes. The carrying value of the Pioneer plant at March 31, 2006, prior to the sale, was $19.7 million. Costs associated with the completion of the transaction were approximately $0.4 million.
          Condensed statements of income for the Pioneer plant, which is classified as discontinued operations, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006, are presented below (in thousands):

          Sales of petroleum products less purchases of petroleum products resulting from the processing activities at the Jonah Pioneer plant were $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Pioneer’s processing agreements allowed the producers to elect annually whether to be charged under a fee-based arrangement or a fee plus

keep-whole arrangement. Under the fee-based election, Jonah received a fee for its processing services. Under the fee plus keep-whole election, Jonah received a lower fee for its processing services, retained and sold the NGLs extracted during the process and delivered to producers the residue gas equivalent in energy to the natural gas received from the producers. Jonah sold the NGLs it retained and purchased gas to replace the equivalent energy removed in the liquids. For the 2006 period, the producers elected the fee plus keep-whole arrangement.
Interest Expense and Capitalized Interest
     Three Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2006
           Interest expense increased $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to $2.5 million of expense reductions recorded in the second quarter of 2006 related to interest rate swaps. Interest expense also increased in the second quarter of 2007, compared to the second quarter of 2006, due to the issuance of our 7.000% fixed-rate Junior Subordinated Notes in May 2007, which proceeds were primarily used to repay outstanding balances under our variable-rate revolving credit facility. The fixed-rate Junior Subordinated Notes carried a higher interest rate than the current floating interest rate under the revolving credit facility.
          Capitalized interest decreased $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006, as a result of the completion of projects, partially offset by higher construction work-in-progress balances in the 2007 period as compared to the 2006 period.
     Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
           Interest expense increased $5.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to $2.5 million of expense reductions recorded in the second quarter of 2006 related to interest rate swaps. Interest expense also increased in the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006, due to higher short-term floating interest rates in 2007 and due to the issuance of our 7.000% fixed-rate Junior Subordinated Notes in May 2007 as noted above, partially offset by lower outstanding balances on our variable rate revolving credit facility.
          Capitalized interest increased $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, due to higher construction work-in-progress balances in 2007 as compared to the 2006 period.
Income Taxes – Texas Margin Tax
          Provision for income taxes is applicable to our state tax obligations under the Texas Margin Tax enacted in May 2006. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recorded a $0.9 million current tax liability and a $0.7 million reduction to deferred tax liability. The offsetting net charge consisting of a reduction to deferred tax expense of $0.7 million and an increase in current income tax expense of $0.9 million is shown on our statements of consolidated income for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as provision for income taxes. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we recorded an estimated deferred tax liability of approximately $0.5 million associated with the Texas Margin Tax. The non-cash offsetting charge is shown on our consolidated statements of income as deferred income tax expense for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006.

Financial Condition and Liquidity
          Cash generated from operations, credit facilities and debt and equity offerings are our primary sources of liquidity. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had working capital deficits of $45.9 million and $9.8 million, respectively. At June 30, 2007, we had approximately $484.7 million in available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility to cover any working capital needs. Cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, were as follows (in millions):

          Net cash provided by continuing operating activities increased $57.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006, primarily due to an increase of $53.0 million in distributions received from our equity investments in Jonah and MB Storage and an increase due to the timing of cash receipts and cash disbursements for other working capital components, partially offset by an increase of $7.0 million in crude oil inventory (as discussed below) and a decrease of $1.1 million in distributions received from our equity investment in Seaway. For a discussion of changes in earnings before interest, depreciation and amortization expense, equity earnings, gains on sales of assets, income from discontinued operations and consolidated interest expense – net, see Results of Operations for the Downstream Segment, Upstream Segment and Midstream Segment above.
          As part of our crude oil marketing activity, we purchase crude oil and simultaneously enter into offsetting sales contracts for physical delivery in future periods. These transactions result in an increase in the amount of inventory carried on our books until the crude oil is sold. The substantial majority of inventory related to these contracts as of June 30, 2006 was contracted for sale in the third quarter of 2006. At June 30, 2006, these transactions and other crude oil operating inventory changes represented a $7.8 million increase in the amount of

69


Table of Contents

inventory recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as compared to December 31, 2005. The substantial majority of inventory related to these contracts as of June 30, 2007 has been contracted for sale in the third quarter of 2007; however, new contracts may be executed, resulting in higher inventory balances being held in future balance sheet periods. At June 30, 2007, these transactions and other crude oil operating inventory changes represented a $14.8 million increase in the amount of inventory recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as compared to December 31, 2006.
          Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 included interest payments, net of amounts capitalized, of $43.9 million and $42.1 million, respectively. Excluding the effects of hedging activities and interest capitalized during the year ended December 31, 2007, we expect interest payments on our fixed rate Senior Notes and Junior Subordinated Notes for 2007 to be approximately $88.3 million. We expect to make our interest payments with cash flows from operating activities.
Investing Activities
          Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $60.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, and were comprised of $109.8 million of capital expenditures, $86.2 million of cash contributions for our ownership interest in the Jonah joint venture with Enterprise (primarily for capital expenditures on its Phase V expansion), $15.1 million of cash paid for linefill on assets owned, $11.1 million of cash contributions for our ownership interest in Centennial, of which $6.1 million was for contractual obligations that were created upon formation of Centennial and $5.0 million was for debt service requirements and $2.5 million of cash paid to a customer as part of a reimbursable commitment, partially offset by $164.1 million in net cash proceeds from asset sales and ownership interests, which includes $137.6 million from the sale of TE Products’ ownership interests in MB Storage and its general partner and $18.5 million for the sale of other Downstream Segment assets, all to Louis Dreyfus on March 1, 2007, and $8.0 million for the sale of Downstream Segment assets to Enterprise in January 2007 (see Note 9 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $48.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, and were comprised of $82.5 million of capital expenditures, $2.5 million of cash contributions for TE Products’ ownership interest in Centennial for operating needs, $1.7 million of cash contributions for TE Products’ ownership interest in MB Storage for capital expenditures and $1.4 million of cash paid for linefill on assets owned, partially offset by $39.8 million in net cash proceeds from asset sales in our Midstream Segment, of which $38.0 million related to cash proceeds received from the sale of the Pioneer plant on March 31, 2006 to Enterprise.
Financing Activities
          Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $138.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, and were comprised of $290.0 million in repayments, net of borrowings, under our revolving credit facility and $146.0 million of distributions paid to our General Partner and to unitholders, partially offset by $295.8 million from the issuance in May 2007 of our 7.000% Junior Subordinated Notes due June 2067 (net of debt issuance costs of $3.7 million) and $1.6 million in proceeds from the termination of treasury locks in May 2007. Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $94.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, and were comprised of $133.8 million of distributions paid to our General Partner and to unitholders, partially offset by $39.1 million in borrowings, net of repayments, on our revolving credit facility.
          We paid cash distributions of $146.0 million ($1.360 per Unit) and $133.8 million ($1.350 per Unit) during each of the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Additionally, we declared a cash distribution of $0.685 per Unit for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. We will pay the distribution of $73.6 million on August 7, 2007 to unitholders of record on July 31, 2007.

Other Considerations
Universal Shelf
          We have filed with the SEC a universal shelf registration statement that, subject to agreement on terms at the time of use and appropriate supplementation, allows us to issue, in one or more offerings, up to an aggregate of $2.0 billion of equity securities, debt securities or a combination thereof. In the May 2007 debt offering, we issued $300.0 million of debt securities. At June 30, 2007, we have remaining approximately $1.2 billion of availability under this shelf registration, subject to customary marketing terms and conditions.
Credit Facility
          We have in place a $700.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, including the issuance of letters of credit (“Revolving Credit Facility”), which matures on December 13, 2011. We may request up to two one-year extensions of the maturity date, subject to lender approval and satisfaction of certain other conditions. Commitments under the credit facility may be increased up to a maximum of $850.0 million upon our request, subject to lender approval and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. The interest rate is based, at our option, on either the lender’s base rate plus a spread, or LIBOR plus a spread in effect at the time of the borrowings. Financial covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility require that we maintain a ratio of Consolidated Funded Debt to Pro Forma EBITDA (as defined and calculated in the facility) of less than 4.75 to 1.00 (subject to adjustment for specified acquisitions) and a ratio of EBITDA to Interest Expense (as defined and calculated in the facility) of at least 3.00 to 1.00, in each case with respect to specified twelve month periods. Other restrictive covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility limit our ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make distributions in excess of Available Cash (see Note 12 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements), incur liens, engage in specified transactions with affiliates and complete mergers, acquisitions and sales of assets. The credit agreement restricts the amount of outstanding debt of the Jonah joint venture to debt owing to the owners of its partnership interests and other third-party debt in the principal aggregate amount of $50.0 million and allows for the issuance of certain hybrid securities (as defined therein) of up to 15% of our Consolidated Total Capitalization (as defined therein). In May 2007, we repaid approximately $295.0 million of the then outstanding balance of the Revolving Credit Facility with proceeds received from the issuance of Junior Subordinated Notes. At June 30, 2007, $200.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 5.86%. At June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with the covenants of the Revolving Credit Facility.
Junior Subordinated Notes
          In May 2007, we issued and sold $300.0 million in principal amount of fixed/floating, unsecured, long-term Junior Subordinated Notes due June 1, 2067. We used the proceeds from this subordinated debt to temporarily reduce borrowings outstanding under our Revolving Credit Facility and for general partnership purposes. Our payment obligations under the Junior Subordinated Notes are subordinated to all of our current and future senior indebtedness (as defined in the related indenture). The Subsidiary Guarantors have jointly and severally guaranteed, on a junior subordinated basis, payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Junior Subordinated Notes.
          The indenture governing the Junior Subordinated Notes does not limit our ability to incur additional debt, including debt that ranks senior to or equally with the Junior Subordinated Notes. The indenture allows us to defer interest payments on one or more occasions for up to ten consecutive years, subject to certain conditions. The indenture also provides that during any period in which we defer interest payments on the Junior Subordinated Notes, subject to certain exceptions, (i) we cannot declare or make any distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase or make a liquidation payment with respect to, any of our equity securities; (ii) neither we nor the Subsidiary Guarantors will make, and we and the Subsidiary Guarantors will cause our respective majority-owned subsidiaries not to make, any payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, on or repay, purchase or redeem any of our or the Subsidiary Guarantors’ debt securities (including securities similar to the Junior Subordinated Notes)

71


Table of Contents

that contractually rank equally with or junior to the Junior Subordinated Notes or the guarantees, as applicable; and (iii) neither we nor the Subsidiary Guarantors will make, and we and the Subsidiary Guarantors will cause our respective majority-owned subsidiaries not to make, any payments under a guarantee of debt securities (including under a guarantee of debt securities that are similar to the Junior Subordinated Notes) that contractually ranks equally with or junior to the Junior Subordinated Notes or the guarantees, as applicable.
          The Junior Subordinated Notes bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 7.000% from May 2007 to June 1, 2017, payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2007. After June 1, 2017, the Junior Subordinated Notes will bear interest at a variable annual rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR rate for the related interest period plus 2.7775%, payable quarterly in arrears on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year commencing September 1, 2017. Interest payments may be deferred on a cumulative basis for up to ten consecutive years, subject to certain provisions. Deferred interest will accumulate additional interest at the then-prevailing interest rate on the Junior Subordinated Notes. The Junior Subordinated Notes mature in June 2067. The Junior Subordinated Notes are redeemable in whole or in part prior to June 1, 2017 for a “make-whole” redemption price and thereafter at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest. The Junior Subordinated Notes are also redeemable prior to June 1, 2017 in whole (but not in part) upon the occurrence of certain tax or rating agency events at specified redemption prices.
          In connection with the issuance of the Junior Subordinated Notes, we and our Subsidiary Guarantors entered into a replacement capital covenant in favor of holders of a designated series of senior long-term indebtedness (as provided in the underlying documents) pursuant to which we and our Subsidiary Guarantors agreed for the benefit of such debt holders that they would not redeem or repurchase or otherwise satisfy, discharge or defease any of the Junior Subordinated Notes on or before June 1, 2037, unless, subject to certain limitations, during the 180 days prior to the date of that redemption, repurchase, defeasance or purchase, we have or one of our subsidiaries has received a specified amount of proceeds from the sale of qualifying securities that have characteristics that are the same as, or more equity-like than, the applicable characteristics of the Junior Subordinated Notes. The replacement capital covenant is not a term of the indenture or the Junior Subordinated Notes.
Future Capital Needs and Commitments
          We estimate that capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions and joint venture contributions, for 2007 will be approximately $301.0 million (including $8.0 million of capitalized interest). We expect to spend approximately $248.0 million for revenue generating projects. We expect to spend approximately $49.0 million to sustain existing operations (including $23.0 million for pipeline integrity) including life-cycle replacements for equipment at various facilities and pipeline and tank replacements among all of our business segments. We expect to spend approximately $4.0 million to improve operational efficiencies and reduce costs among all of our business segments. Additionally, we expect to invest approximately $150.0 million (including $5.0 million of capitalized interest) in our Jonah joint venture for the construction of the Phase V expansion during 2007 and approximately $32.0 million for other capital expenditures. Amounts related to Jonah capital expenditures are reported as joint venture contributions due to the deconsolidation of Jonah on August 1, 2006.
          During 2007, TE Products may be required to contribute additional cash to Centennial to cover capital expenditures or other operating needs. We continually review and evaluate potential capital improvements and expansions that would be complementary to our present business operations. These expenditures can vary greatly depending on the magnitude of our transactions. We may finance capital expenditures through internally generated funds, debt or the issuance of additional equity.
Liquidity Outlook
          We believe that we will continue to have adequate liquidity to fund future recurring operating and investing activities. Our primary cash requirements consist of normal operating expenses, capital expenditures to sustain existing operations and to complete the Jonah expansion, revenue generating expenditures, interest payments

72


Table of Contents

on our Senior Notes, Junior Subordinated Notes and Revolving Credit Facility, distributions to our unitholders and General Partner and acquisitions of new assets or businesses. Our operating cash requirements and capital expenditures to sustain existing operations for 2007 are expected to be funded through our cash flows from operating activities. Long-term cash requirements for expansion projects, acquisitions and debt repayments are expected to be funded by several sources, including cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under credit facilities, joint venture distributions and possibly the issuance of additional equity and debt securities. Our ability to complete future debt and equity offerings and the timing of any such offerings will depend on various factors, including prevailing market conditions, interest rates, our financial condition and our credit rating at the time.
          The 6.45% TE Products Senior Notes due in January 2008 are classified as a long-term liability in our consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2007, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 6, Classification of Short-Term Obligations Expected to be Refinanced. We have the ability to use available credit capacity under our Revolving Credit Facility to fund the repayment of these Senior Notes. We expect to repay the long-term, senior and junior unsecured obligations through the issuance of additional long-term senior or junior unsecured debt at the time the 2008, 2012, 2013, 2028 and 2067 debts mature, issuance of additional equity, with proceeds from dispositions of assets, cash flow from operations or any combination of the above items.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
          We do not rely on off-balance sheet borrowings to fund our acquisitions. We have no material off-balance sheet commitments for indebtedness other than the limited guaranty of Centennial debt, the limited guarantee of Centennial catastrophic events as discussed below and an outstanding letter of credit (see Note 11 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, we have entered into various off-balance sheet leases covering assets utilized in several areas of our operations.
          Centennial entered into credit facilities totaling $150.0 million, and at June 30, 2007, $140.0 million was outstanding under those credit facilities and expires 2024. In April 2007, $10.0 million matured and was repaid by Centennial. TE Products and Marathon Petroleum Company LLC (“Marathon”) have each guaranteed one-half of the repayment of Centennial’s outstanding debt balance (plus interest) under these credit facilities. If Centennial defaults on its outstanding balance, the estimated maximum potential amount of future payments for TE Products and Marathon is $70.0 million each at June 30, 2007. Provisions included in the $140.0 million Centennial credit facility required that certain financial metrics be achieved and for the guarantees to be removed by May 2007. These metrics were not achieved, and the provisions of the Centennial debt agreements were amended in May 2007 to require the guarantees to remain throughout the life of the debt. As a result of the guarantee, TE Products recorded an obligation of $9.9 million, which represents the present value of the estimated amount, based on a probability estimate, we would have to pay under the guarantee.
          TE Products, Marathon and Centennial have entered into a limited cash call agreement, which allows each member to contribute cash in lieu of Centennial procuring separate insurance in the event of a third-party liability arising from a catastrophic event. There is an indefinite term for the agreement and each member is to contribute cash in proportion to its ownership interest, up to a maximum of $50.0 million each. As a result of the catastrophic event guarantee, TE Products recorded a $4.2 million obligation, which represents the present value of the estimated amount, based on a probability estimate, we would have to pay under the guarantee. If a catastrophic event were to occur and we were required to contribute cash to Centennial, contributions exceeding our deductible might be covered by our insurance, depending upon the nature of the catastrophic event.
          One of our subsidiaries, TCO, has entered into master equipment lease agreements with finance companies for the use of various equipment. We have guaranteed the full and timely payment and performance of TCO’s obligations under the agreements. Generally, events of default would trigger our performance under the guarantee. The maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantee is not estimable, but would include base rental payments for both current and future equipment, stipulated loss payments in the event any equipment is stolen, damaged, or destroyed and any future indemnity payments. We carry insurance coverage that may offset

73


Table of Contents

any payments required under the guarantees. We do not believe that any performance under the guarantee would have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Contractual Obligations
          In May 2007, we issued $300.0 million of Junior Subordinated Notes due June 2067. Other than the issuance of the Junior Subordinated Notes, there have been no significant changes in our schedule of maturities of long-term debt or other contractual obligations since the year ended December 31, 2006.
          The following table summarizes our debt repayment obligations after giving effect to the issuance of the Junior Subordinated Notes as of June 30, 2007 (in millions):

(2)   Our TE Products subsidiary entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge its exposure to changes in the fair value of its 7.51% Senior Notes due 2028. At June 30, 2007, the 7.51% Senior Notes include an adjustment to decrease the fair value of the debt by $9.3 million related to this interest rate swap agreement. We also entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge our exposure to changes in the fair value of our 7.625% Senior Notes due 2012. At June 30, 2007, the 7.625% Senior Notes include a deferred gain, net of amortization, from previous interest rate swap terminations of $25.6 million. At June 30, 2007, our 6.45% Senior Notes, our 7.625% Senior Notes, our 6.125% Senior Notes and our 7.00% Junior Subordinated Notes include $2.3 million of unamortized debt discounts. The fair value adjustments, the deferred gain adjustment and the unamortized debt discounts are excluded from this table.
(3)   In accordance with SFAS No. 6, Classification of Short-Term Obligations Expected to be Refinanced, we have classified our 6.45% TE Products Senior Notes due in January 2008 as long-term (see Note 11 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information).
(4)   Includes interest payments due on our Senior Notes and Junior Subordinated Notes and interest payments and commitment fees due on our Revolving Credit Facility. The interest amounts calculated on the Revolving Credit Facility and the Junior Subordinated Notes are based on the assumption that the amounts outstanding and the interest rates charged both remain at their current levels.
Credit Ratings
          Our debt securities and those of our subsidiary, TE Products, are rated BBB- by Standard and Poors (“S&P”) and Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”). S&P’s rating is with a stable outlook while Moody’s rating is with a negative outlook. A rating reflects only the view of a rating agency and is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any indebtedness. Any rating can be revised upward or downward or withdrawn at any time by a rating agency if it determines that the circumstances warrant such a change and should be evaluated independently of any other rating.
          Based upon the characteristics of the fixed/floating unsecured Junior Subordinated Notes that we issued in May 2007, the rating agencies assigned partial equity treatment to the notes. Moody’s and S&P each assigned 50% equity treatment to the notes.

          See discussion of new accounting pronouncements in Note 2 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
          We may be exposed to market risk through changes in crude oil commodity prices and interest rates. We do not have foreign exchange risks. Our Risk Management Committee has established policies to monitor and control these market risks. The Risk Management Committee is comprised, in part, of senior executives of the General Partner. For additional discussion of our exposure to market risks, please refer to “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
Commodity Risk
          We seek to maintain a position that is substantially balanced between crude oil purchases and sales and future delivery obligations. We take the normal purchase and normal sale exclusion in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and SFAS No. 138, Accounting for Certain Derivative Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities, an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133, where permitted.
          As part of our crude oil marketing business, we enter into derivative contracts such as swaps and other business hedging devices. Generally, we elect hedge accounting where permitted under SFAS 133. The terms of these contracts are typically one year or less. The purpose is to balance our position or lock in a margin and, as such, the derivative contracts do not expose us to additional significant market risk. For derivatives where hedge accounting is elected, the effective portion of changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings as such transactions are settled. For derivatives where hedge accounting is not elected, we mark these transactions to market and the changes in the fair value are recognized in current earnings. This results in some financial statement variability during quarterly periods.

          At June 30, 2007, we had some commodity derivatives that were accounted for as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses on these derivatives are offset against corresponding gains or losses of the hedged item and are deferred through other comprehensive income, thus minimizing exposure to cash flow risk. In addition, we had some commodity derivatives that did not qualify for hedge accounting. The fair value of the open positions at June 30, 2007 was $1.3 million. Assuming a hypothetical across-the-board 10% price decrease in the forward curve, the change in fair value of the hedging instrument would have been $1.6 million. The fair value of the open positions was based upon both quoted market prices obtained from NYMEX and from other sources such as independent reporting services, industry publications, brokers and marketers. The fair values were determined based upon the differences by month between the fixed contract price and the relevant forward price curve, the volumes for the applicable month and applicable discount rate.
Interest Rate Risk
          We have utilized and expect to continue to utilize interest rate swap agreements to hedge a portion of our cash flow and fair value risks. Interest rate swap agreements are used to manage the fixed and floating interest rate mix of our total debt portfolio and overall cost of borrowing. Interest rate swaps that manage our cash flow risk reduce our exposure to increases in the benchmark interest rates underlying variable rate debt. Interest rate swaps that manage our fair value risks are intended to reduce our exposure to changes in the fair value of the fixed rate debt. Interest rate swap agreements involve the periodic exchange of payments without the exchange of the notional amount upon which the payments are based. The related amount payable to or receivable from counterparties is included as an adjustment to accrued interest.
          At June 30, 2007, we had $200.0 million outstanding under our variable interest rate revolving credit facility. The interest rate is based, at our option, on either the lender’s base rate plus a spread or LIBOR plus a spread in effect at the time of the borrowings and is adjusted monthly, bimonthly, quarterly or semiannually. On January 20, 2006, we entered into interest rate swap agreements with a total notional amount of $200.0 million to hedge our exposure to increases in the benchmark interest rate underlying our variable rate revolving credit facility. These interest rate swaps mature in January 2008. Under the swap agreements, we pay a fixed rate of interest ranging from 4.67% to 4.695% and receive a floating rate based on a three-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate. In the third quarter of 2006, these swaps were designated as cash flow hedges. For the period from January 20, 2006 through the date these swaps were designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value of the swaps were recognized in earnings, which resulted in a $2.2 million reduction to interest expense. While these interest rate swaps remain in effect, future changes in the fair value of the cash flow hedges, to the extent the swaps are effective, will be recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged interest costs are recognized in earnings. At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the fair values of these interest rate swaps were assets of $1.0 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Utilizing the balances of our variable interest rate debt outstanding at June 30, 2007, and including the effects of hedging activities, if market interest rates increased 100 basis points, the annual increase in interest expense related to our revolving credit facility would be a nominal amount. These interest rate swaps were de-designated as cash flow hedges as of June 30, 2007.
          In October 2001, TE Products entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge its exposure to changes in the fair value of its fixed rate 7.51% Senior Notes due 2028. We designated this swap agreement as a fair value hedge. The swap agreement has a notional amount of $210.0 million and matures in January 2028 to match the principal and maturity of the TE Products Senior Notes. Under the swap agreement, TE Products pays a floating rate of interest based on a three-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate, plus a spread of 147 basis points, and receives a fixed rate of interest of 7.51%. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we recognized reductions in interest expense of $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, related to the difference between the fixed rate and the floating rate of interest on the interest rate swap. During the quarters ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we reviewed the hedge effectiveness of this interest rate swap and noted that no gain or loss from ineffectiveness was required to be recognized. The fair values of this interest rate swap were liabilities of approximately $9.3 million and $2.6 million at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. Utilizing the balance of the 7.51% TE Products Senior Notes outstanding at June 30, 2007, and including the effects of hedging activities, if market interest rates increased 100 basis points, the annual increase in interest expense would be $2.1 million.

          In June 2007, we executed a forward treasury rate lock agreement that extend through January 31, 2008 for a notional amount of $50.0 million. This agreement, which is a derivative instrument, has been designated as a cash flow hedge to offset our exposure to increases in the underlying U.S. Treasury benchmark rate that is expected to be used to establish the fixed interest rate for debt that we expect to incur in 2008. The rate under the treasury lock agreement is 5.112%. The actual coupon rate of the expected debt will be comprised of the underlying U.S. Treasury benchmark rate, plus a credit spread premium at the date of issuance. At June 30, 2007, the fair value of the treasury lock was a liability of $0.2 million. To the extent effective, gains and losses on the value of the treasury lock will be deferred until the forecasted debt is issued and will be amortized to earnings over the life of the debt. No ineffectiveness was recognized as of June 30, 2007.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
          As of the end of the period covered by this Report, our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our principal executive officer (the “CEO”) and our principal financial officer (the “CFO”), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Based on those evaluations, as of the end of the period covered by the report, the CEO and CFO concluded:
  (i)   that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure; and
 
  (ii)   that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
     Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
          There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the second quarter of 2007 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
          The certifications of our General Partner’s CEO and CFO required under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 have been included as exhibits to this Report.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
          We have been, in the ordinary course of business, a defendant in various lawsuits and a party to various other legal proceedings, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. We believe that the outcome of these lawsuits and other proceedings will not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See discussion of legal proceedings in Note 16 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, which is incorporated into this item by reference.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
          Security holders and potential investors in our securities should carefully consider the risk factors set forth below and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, in addition to other information in such Annual Report and this Report. We are identifying these risk factors as important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any written or oral forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of us.
Risks Relating to Our Business
The success of our Jonah gas gathering operations is substantially dependent upon Enterprise.
          We own our interest in the Jonah gas gathering system, which represents a significant component of our Midstream Segment and its potential for future growth, through a joint venture with Enterprise, which is under common control with us by EPCO and its affiliates, including Enterprise GP Holdings. The joint venture is governed by a management committee comprised of two representatives approved by an Enterprise affiliate and two representatives approved by subsidiaries of ours. We expect to ultimately own an approximate 80% interest in the joint venture, with Enterprise’s affiliate owning the remaining approximate 20%. However, each representative on the management committee is entitled to one vote, and the joint venture agreement generally requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the management committee to approve an action. Moreover, Enterprise is responsible for managing construction of the Phase V expansion of the system. We expect to reimburse Enterprise for approximately 50% of these construction costs. To the extent the costs exceed an agreed upon base cost estimate of $415.2 million, we and Enterprise will each pay our respective ownership share (approximately 80% and 20%, respectively) of such costs. We and Enterprise may not always agree on the best course of action for the joint venture. If such a disagreement were to occur, we would not be able to cause the joint venture to take action that we believed to be in our best interests. Further, Enterprise may experience unanticipated delays or costs in construction or operation of the project, which could require additional capital contributions by us and Enterprise or diminish expected benefits from the project. Any of these factors could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and prospects.
Our partnership status may be a disadvantage to us in calculating our cost of service for rate-making purposes.
          In May 2005, FERC issued a policy statement permitting the inclusion of an income tax allowance in the cost of service-based rates of a pipeline organized as a tax pass through partnership entity to reflect actual or potential income tax liability on public utility income, if the pipeline proves that the ultimate owner of its interests has an actual or potential income tax liability on such income. The policy statement also provides that whether a pipeline’s owners have such actual or potential income tax liability will be reviewed by FERC on a case-by-case basis. In August 2005, FERC dismissed requests for rehearing of its new policy statement. On December 16, 2005, FERC issued its first significant case-specific review of the income tax allowance issue in another pipeline partnership’s rate case. FERC reaffirmed its new income tax allowance policy and directed the subject pipeline to provide certain evidence necessary for the pipeline to determine its income tax allowance. The new tax allowance policy and the December 16, 2005 order were appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the District of

77


Table of Contents

Columbia Circuit. The D.C. Circuit issued an order on May 29, 2007 in which it denied these appeals and fully upheld FERC’s new tax allowance policy and the application of that policy in the December 16 order. A petition for rehearing was filed in the case on July 13, 2007.
          On December 8, 2006, FERC issued a new order addressing rates on another pipeline. In the new order, FERC refined its income tax allowance policy, and notably raised a new issue regarding the implication of the policy statement for publicly traded partnerships. It noted that the tax deferral features of a publicly traded partnership may cause some investors to receive, for some indeterminate duration, cash distributions in excess of their taxable income, which FERC characterized as a “tax savings.” FERC stated that it is concerned that this created an opportunity for those investors to earn an additional return, funded by ratepayers. Responding to this concern, FERC chose to adjust the pipeline’s equity rate of return downward based on the percentage by which the publicly traded partnership’s cash flow exceeded taxable income. On February 7, 2007, the pipeline asked FERC to reconsider this ruling, and FERC granted rehearing on March 9, 2007.
          The ultimate outcome of these proceedings is not certain and could result in changes to FERC’s treatment of income tax allowances in cost of service. Currently, none of our tariffs are calculated using cost of service rate methodologies. If, however, in the future our tariffs are calculated using a cost of service rate methodology and the policy statement on income tax allowances is modified on judicial review, our revenues might be adversely affected.
Risks Relating to Our Units as a Result of Our Partnership Structure
The credit and risk profile of our General Partner and its owners could adversely affect our credit ratings and profile, which could increase our borrowing costs or hinder our ability to raise capital.
          The credit and business risk profiles of the general partner or owners of the general partner may be factors in credit evaluations of a master limited partnership. This is because the general partner can exercise significant influence over the business activities of the partnership, including its cash distribution and acquisition strategy and business risk profile. Another factor that may be considered is the financial condition of the general partner and its owners, including the degree of their financial leverage and their dependence on cash flow from the partnership to service their indebtedness.
          Entities controlling the owner of our General Partner have significant indebtedness outstanding and are dependent principally on the cash distributions from the general partner and limited partner equity interests in us, Enterprise GP Holdings, Enterprise and Energy Transfer Equity, L.P. to service such indebtedness. Any distributions by us to such entities will be made only after satisfying our then current obligations to our creditors. Although we have taken certain steps in our organizational structure, financial reporting and contractual relationships to reflect our separateness from our General Partner and the entities that control our General Partner, our credit ratings and business risk profile could be adversely affected if the ratings and risk profiles of Dan L. Duncan or the entities that control our General Partner were viewed as substantially lower or more risky than ours. In addition, the 100% membership interest in our General Partner and the 4,400,000 of our Units that are owned by Enterprise GP Holdings are pledged under Enterprise GP Holdings’ credit facility. Enterprise GP Holdings’ credit facility contains customary and other events of default. Upon an event of default, the lenders under Enterprise GP Holdings’ credit facility could foreclose on Enterprise GP Holdings’ assets, which could ultimately result in a change in control of our General Partner and a change in the ownership of our Units held by Enterprise GP Holdings.
Control of our General Partner may be transferred to a third party without unitholder consent.
          Our General Partner may transfer its general partner interest to a third party in a merger or in a sale of all or substantially all of its assets without the consent of the unitholders. Furthermore, our Partnership Agreement does not restrict the ability of the owners of our General Partner or Enterprise GP Holdings from transferring all or a

78


Table of Contents

portion of their respective ownership interest in our General Partner or Enterprise GP Holdings to a third party. Such a third party would then be in a position to replace the board of directors and officers of our General Partner with its own choices and thereby influence the decisions taken by the board of directors and officers.
Tax Risks to Unitholders
We have adopted certain methodologies that may result in a shift of income, gain, loss and deduction between the General Partner and our unitholders. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may challenge this treatment, which could adversely affect the value of our Units.
          When we issue additional Units or engage in certain other transactions, we determine the fair market value of our assets and allocate any unrealized gain or loss attributable to our assets to the capital accounts of our unitholders and our General Partner. Our methodology may be viewed as understating the value of our assets. In that case, there may be a shift of income, gain, loss and deduction between certain unitholders and the General Partner, which may be unfavorable to such unitholders. Moreover, under this methodology, subsequent purchasers of Units may have a greater portion of their Internal Revenue Code Section 743(b) adjustment allocated to our tangible assets and a lesser portion allocated to our intangible assets. The IRS may challenge our methods, or our allocation of the Section 743(b) adjustment attributable to our tangible and intangible assets, and allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction between the General Partner and certain of our unitholders.
          A successful IRS challenge to these methods or allocations could adversely affect the amount of taxable income or loss being allocated to our unitholders. It also could affect the amount of gain from our unitholders’ sale of Units and could have a negative impact on the value of the Units or result in audit adjustments to our unitholders’ tax returns without the benefit of additional deductions.
Item 5. Other Information.
          On May 22, 2007, the ACG Committee approved the grant of restricted Units, unit appreciation rights and unit options to the current named executive officers pursuant to the EPCO, Inc. 2006 TPP Long-Term Incentive Plan, the form of grant filed herewith as Exhibit 10.3 and the forms of grants filed with our previously-filed periodic reports.

Number of Units Granted:
       
 
 
 
   
Phantom Unit Grant Number:
  PUG06 — ___    
          Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company LLC (the “General Partner”) is pleased to inform you that you have been granted the number of Phantom Units set forth above under the EPCO, Inc. 2006 TPP Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). A Phantom Unit is a contractual right to receive a Unit of TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (the “Partnership”) that is subject to the forfeiture and non-transferability provisions set forth below in this Agreement. Upon the payment date specified herein, the holder of the Phantom Unit is entitled to receive cash equal to the then Fair Market Value of a Unit. The terms of the grant are as follows:
          1. The Phantom Units shall become payable on the earlier of (i) the fourth anniversary of the Date of Grant set forth above or (ii) the date on which you are no longer a director of the General Partner or any Affiliate of the General Partner (the earlier of (i) or (ii) above is hereinafter referred to as the “Payment Date”). For this purpose, transferring as Director from the General Partner to an Affiliate, or vice versa, will not result in payment of the Phantom Units under (ii), above.
          2. Upon the Payment Date, cash will be delivered to you with respect to each Phantom Unit, equal to the then Fair Market Value of a Unit.
          3. For each calendar quarter in the period beginning on the Date of Grant and ending upon the Payment Date, you will receive a cash payment within such calendar quarter equal to the product of (i) the cash distributions paid during such calendar quarter with respect to a Unit, if any, times (ii) the number of Phantom Units subject to this grant (such payments are hereinafter referred to as the “DERs”).
          4. None of the Phantom Units or DERs are transferable (by operation of law or otherwise) by you, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. If, in the event of your divorce, legal separation or other dissolution of your marriage, your former spouse is awarded ownership of, or an interest in, all or part of the Phantom Units or DERs granted hereby to you (the “Awarded Units”), the Awarded Units shall automatically and immediately be forfeited and cancelled without payment on such date.
          5. Nothing in this Agreement or in the Plan shall confer any right on you to continue as a director of the General Partner or its Affiliates or restrict the members of the General Partner from not re-electing you as a director of the General Partner or its Affiliates at any time.
          6. To the extent that the grant or vesting of a Phantom Unit results in the receipt of compensation by you with respect to which the General Partner or an Affiliate has a tax withholding obligation pursuant to applicable law, unless you make other arrangements that are acceptable to the General Partner or such Affiliate, you must deliver to the General Partner or the Affiliate such amount of money as the General Partner or the Affiliate may

 


 

require to meet its tax withholding obligations under such applicable law.
          7. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the General Partner shall not be obligated to deliver to you any payment if counsel to the General Partner determines such delivery would violate any law or regulation of any governmental authority or agreement between the General Partner or the Partnership and any national securities exchange upon which the Units are listed or any policy of the General Partner or any Affiliate of the Company.
          8. These Phantom Units and DERs are subject to the terms of the Plan, which is hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth in its entirety herein, including, without limitation, the ability of the Committee, in its discretion, to amend your Phantom Unit award without your approval. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and the Plan, the Plan shall be the controlling document. Capitalized terms that are used, but are not defined, in this Award have the respective meanings provided for in the Plan. The Plan, as in effect on the Date of Grant, is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
