2 Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets On February 28, 2001, we completed our $133 million acquisition of the south Texas natural gas liquids (NGL) transportation and fractionation assets from a subsidiary of El Paso Corporation. The assets acquired include more than 600 miles of NGL gathering and transportation pipelines and three fractionation plants. The pipeline system is comprised of 379 miles of pipeline used to gather and transport unfractionated NGLs from various processing plants. The system also includes 177 miles of pipeline that deliver fractionated products such as ethane, propane and butanes to refineries and petrochemical plants along the Texas Gulf Coast and common carrier NGL pipelines. The three fractionation facilities have a combined capacity of 96,000 barrels per day. Additionally, in accordance with a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) order related to El Paso Corporation's merger with The Coastal Corporation, we, along with Deepwater Holdings, L.L.C., our equity investee, agreed to sell several of our offshore Gulf of Mexico assets to third parties. Total consideration received for these assets was approximately $162 million consisting of approximately $108 million for the assets we sold and approximately $54 million for the assets Deepwater Holdings sold. The offshore assets sold include interests in Stingray, Nautilus, Manta Ray Offshore, Nemo, Green Canyon, UTOS and Tarpon, as well as interests in two offshore platforms and one dehydration facility. As additional consideration for these transactions, El Paso Corporation will make payments to us totaling $29 million. These payments will be made in quarterly installments of $2.25 million for the next three years and $2 million in the first quarter of 2004. Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits (b) Pro forma financial statements The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated and combined financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2001, and the year ended December 31, 2000, have been prepared based on the historical consolidated statements of operations of El Paso Energy Partners, L.P. and subsidiaries. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated and Combined Statements of Operations give effect to our acquisition of the NGL transportation and fractionation assets and our and Deepwater Holdings' Gulf of Mexico asset sales (collectively, the Transactions) as if they had occurred on January 1, 2000. An unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet is not presented as our historical results as of March 31, 2001, include the results of the Transactions. Additionally, these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated and combined financial statements do not give effect to other transactions completed in 2000 and 2001, including our acquisitions of El Paso Intrastate-Alabama and the Crystal natural gas storage businesses and our issuance of 2,250,000 common units. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated and combined financial statements are not necessarily indicative of our consolidated results of operations that might have occurred had the Transactions been completed at the beginning of the earliest period presented, nor do they necessarily indicate our consolidated operating results for any future period. The losses we incurred on our sale of the Gulf of Mexico assets and the income we recognized from the payments from El Paso Corporation are reflected in our statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2001. We did not give effect to these items in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated and combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2000, since these are non-recurring items. The accompanying Notes to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated and Combined Financial Statements explain the assumptions used in preparing the financial information. Accounting policy differences were not material and, accordingly, adjustments have not been included in these statements.

(b) To record the increase in equity earnings that results from Deepwater Holdings using sales proceeds of approximately $54 million to pay down its revolving credit facility. The amount was calculated based on the interest rate on Deepwater Holdings' credit facility at March 31, 2001, which was approximately 6.43%. We have a 50 percent interest in Deepwater Holdings. (c) To record the reduction in interest expense as a result of applying the net proceeds of approximately $108.2 million from the Gulf of Mexico assets sold to pay down our revolving credit facility. The amount was calculated based on the interest rate on our credit facility at March 31, 2001, which was approximately 7.68%.

Under this agreement, for the three months ended March 31, 2001, we would recognize minimum operating revenue of approximately $7.3 million, or 3.4 million gallons per day at $.024. Also, we will incur operating expenses of approximately $0.6 million per month from El Paso NGL Marketing, L.P. For the year ended December 31, 2000, gallons produced from the assets exceeded the minimum thresholds stated in the agreement and accordingly, no adjustment has been made.
