REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the
Board of Directors of
Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Texas Eastern Products
Pipeline Company, LLC and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the
related statements of consolidated income and comprehensive income, consolidated members equity
(deficit), and consolidated cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31,
2006. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC and subsidiaries
as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each
of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2006, in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION
Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC (the Company) is a Delaware limited liability
company whose membership interests are owned, as of December 31, 2006, by DFI GP Holdings L.P.
(DFI), an affiliate of EPCO, Inc. (EPCO), a privately held company controlled by Dan L. Duncan,
which acquired us on February 24, 2005. Through February 23, 2005, we were a direct wholly owned
subsidiary of DCP Midstream Partners, L.P. (formerly Duke Energy Field Services, LLC (DEFS)), a
joint venture between Duke Energy Corporation (Duke Energy) and ConocoPhillips. Duke Energy held
an interest of approximately 70% in DEFS, and ConocoPhillips held the remaining interest of
approximately 30%. On February 24, 2005, we were acquired by DFI for approximately $1.1 billion.
In connection with the transfer of DEFS membership interest to DFI effective February 23, 2005, we
discharged DEFS demand note receivable and declared a distribution of accumulated advances that
reduced members equity by $186.0 million resulting in a former member deficit capital account of
$43.0 million. For the period January 1, 2005 to February 24, 2005, DEFS was allocated a loss of
$0.5 million by us, which included $10.0 million of loss related to the discharge of the demand
note receivable, partially offset by $9.5 million of earnings for the 2005 period, and received
$16.9 million of cash distributions from us.
Our executive officers are employees of EPCO, and the other personnel working on our behalf
also are employees of EPCO. Our sole member, which was DFI as of December 31, 2006, appoints our
directors. Mr. Duncan also indirectly controls Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (Enterprise)
and its affiliates, including Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. (Enterprise GP Holdings) and Duncan
Energy Partners L.P. Under an amended and restated administrative services agreement (ASA), EPCO
performs all management, administrative and operating functions required for us and our
subsidiaries, and we reimburse EPCO for all direct and indirect expenses that have been incurred in
managing us and our subsidiaries. See Note 21 for information regarding the transfer of our
members interest.
As used in this Report, we, us, our, and the Company mean Texas Eastern Products
Pipeline Company, LLC, and where the context requires, include our subsidiaries and their business
and operations. References to the Parent Company are intended to mean and include Texas Eastern
Products Pipeline Company, LLC, in its individual capacity, and not on a consolidated basis.
We own a 2% general partner interest in TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (TEPPCO) and act as the
managing general partner of TEPPCO. TEPPCO, a Delaware limited partnership, is a master limited
partnership formed in March 1990 and its limited partner units (Units) are listed on the New York
Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the ticker symbol TPP. TEPPCO operates through TE Products
Pipeline Company, Limited Partnership (TE Products), TCTM, L.P. (TCTM) and TEPPCO Midstream
Companies, L.P. (TEPPCO Midstream). Collectively, TE Products, TCTM and TEPPCO Midstream are
referred to as the Operating Partnerships. We have the right to receive the incentive
distribution rights associated with our general partner interest in TEPPCO. Together with other
affiliate of Mr. Duncan, we also collectively own 16,691,550 Units of TEPPCO.
Parent Company Financial Information
The Parent Company has no separate operating activities apart from those conducted by the
Operating Partnerships. The principal source of cash flow for the Parent Company is its investment
in its general partner ownership interest in TEPPCO. The Parent Companys primary cash
requirements are for general and administrative expenses and distributions to its member. The
Parent Companys assets and liabilities are not available to satisfy the debts and other
obligations of TEPPCO.
In order to fully understand the financial condition and results of operations of the Parent
Company, we are providing the financial information of Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC
apart from that of our

Represents the Parent Companys equity method investment in TEPPCO. This Parent Company
investment is eliminated in the process of consolidating the financial statements of the
Parent Company with those of TEPPCO. This balance does not represent an asset to TEPPCO nor
does it represent an obligation on the Parent Companys part to contribute cash or other
property to TEPPCO. Our general partner equity account at TEPPCO generally consists of our
cumulative share of TEPPCOs earnings less any cash distributions that it has paid to us plus
any amounts we have contributed to TEPPCO. During 2006, we were allocated $57.7 million
(representing 28.6%) of TEPPCOs net income and received $81.9 million in cash distributions
from TEPPCO. During 2005, we were allocated $47.6 million (representing 29.3%) of TEPPCOs
net income and received $73.2 million in cash distributions from TEPPCO. |

NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
We adhere to the following significant accounting policies in the preparation of our
consolidated financial statements.
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 (see Note 16).
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, lubrication oils and specialty chemicals, NGLs and
natural gas in this Report, collectively, as petroleum products or products.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We establish provisions for losses on accounts receivable if we determine that we will not
collect all or part of the outstanding balance. Collectibility is reviewed regularly and an
allowance is established or adjusted, as necessary, using the specific identification method. Our
procedure for recording an allowance for doubtful accounts is based on (i) our historical
experience, (ii) the financial stability of our customers and (iii) the levels of credit granted to
customers. In addition, we may also increase the allowance account in response to specific
identification of customers involved in bankruptcy proceedings and those experiencing other
financial difficulties. We routinely review our estimates in this area to ensure that we have
recorded sufficient reserves to cover potential losses. The following table presents the activity
of our allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004:

Asset Retirement Obligations
Asset retirement obligations (AROs) are legal obligations associated with the retirement of
tangible long-lived assets that result from its acquisition, construction, development and/or
normal operation. We record a liability for AROs when incurred and capitalize an increase in the
carrying value of the related long-lived asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its
present value each period, and the capitalized cost is depreciated over its useful life. We will
either settle our ARO obligations at the recorded amount or incur a gain or loss upon settlement.
The Downstream Segment assets consist primarily of an interstate trunk pipeline system and a
series of storage facilities that originate along the upper Texas Gulf Coast and extend through the
Midwest and northeastern United States. We transport refined products, LPGs and petrochemicals
through the pipeline system. These products are primarily received in the south end of the system
and stored and/or transported to various points along the system per customer nominations. The
Upstream Segments operations include purchasing crude oil from producers at the wellhead and
providing delivery, storage and other services to its customers. The properties in the Upstream
Segment consist of interstate trunk pipelines, pump stations, trucking facilities, storage tanks
and various gathering systems primarily in Texas and Oklahoma. The Midstream Segment gathers
natural gas from wells owned by producers and delivers natural gas and NGLs on its pipeline
systems, primarily in Texas, Wyoming, New Mexico and Colorado. The Midstream Segment also owns and
operates two NGL fractionator facilities in Colorado.
We have determined that we are obligated by contractual or regulatory requirements to remove
certain facilities or perform other remediation upon retirement of our assets. However, we are not
able to reasonably determine the fair value of the AROs for our trunk, interstate and gathering
pipelines and our surface facilities, since future dismantlement and removal dates are
indeterminate. During 2006, we recorded $0.6 million of expense, included in depreciation and
amortization expense, related to conditional AROs related to the retirement of the Val Verde Gas
Gathering Company, L.P. (Val Verde) natural gas gathering system and to structural restoration
work to be completed on leased office space that is required upon our anticipated office lease
termination. Additionally, we have recorded a $1.2 million liability, which represents the present
values of these conditional AROs. During 2006, we assigned probabilities for settlement dates and
settlement methods for use in an expected present value measurement and recorded conditional AROs.
In order to determine a removal date for our crude oil gathering lines and related surface
assets, reserve information regarding the production life of the specific field is required. As a
transporter and gatherer of crude oil,
9
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
we are not a producer of the field reserves, and we therefore do not have access to adequate
forecasts that predict the timing of expected production for existing reserves on those fields in
which we gather crude oil. In the absence of such information, we are not able to make a
reasonable estimate of when future dismantlement and removal dates of our crude oil gathering
assets will occur. With regard to our trunk and interstate pipelines and their related surface
assets, it is impossible to predict when demand for transportation of the related products will
cease. Our right-of-way agreements allow us to maintain the right-of-way rather than remove the
pipe. In addition, we can evaluate our trunk pipelines for alternative uses, which can be and have
been found.
We will record AROs in the period in which more information becomes available for us to
reasonably estimate the settlement dates of the retirement obligations. The adoption of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations and
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional
Asset Retirement Obligations, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143, (FIN 47) did not have
a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 include the accounts
of the Parent Company, its wholly owned subsidiary, TEPPCO Investments, LLC and its 2% general
partner interest in TEPPCO. TEPPCO Investments, LLC is an inactive holding company. We have
eliminated all significant intercompany items in consolidation and provisions are made for minority
interests. Our results for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 reflect the operations
and activities of Jonah Gas Gathering Companys (Jonah) Pioneer plant as discontinued operations.
We own a 2% general partner interest in TEPPCO, which conducts substantially all of our
business. We have no independent operations and no material assets outside those of TEPPCO. The
number of reconciling items between our consolidated financial statements and that of TEPPCO are
few. The most significant difference is that relating to minority interest ownership in our net
assets by the limited partners of TEPPCO, and the elimination of our investment in TEPPCO with our
underlying partners capital account in TEPPCO (see Note 14 for additional information regarding
minority interest ownership in our consolidated subsidiaries).
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are defined as all highly marketable securities with maturities of three
months or less when purchased. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximate fair value
because of the short term nature of these investments. Our Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows
are prepared using the indirect method.
Capitalization of Interest
We capitalize interest on borrowed funds related to capital projects only for periods that
activities are in progress to bring these projects to their intended use. The weighted average rate
used to capitalize interest on borrowed funds was 6.27%, 5.73% and 5.74% for the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and
2004, the amount of interest capitalized was $10.7 million, $6.8 million and $4.2 million,
respectively.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date our financial statements are issued, which may
result in a loss to us but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail
to occur. Our management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such
assessment inherently involves an exercise in judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to
legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may
10
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
result in proceedings, our legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal
proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or
expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been
incurred and the amount of liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be
accrued in our financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss
contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated,
then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible
loss if determinable and material, is disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve
guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.
Dollar Amounts
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.
Environmental Expenditures
We accrue for environmental costs that relate to existing conditions caused by past
operations, including conditions with assets we have acquired. Environmental costs include initial
site surveys and environmental studies of potentially contaminated sites, costs for remediation and
restoration of sites determined to be contaminated and ongoing monitoring costs, as well as damages
and other costs, when estimable. We monitor the balance of accrued undiscounted environmental
liabilities on a regular basis. We record liabilities for environmental costs at a specific site
when our liability for such costs is probable and a reasonable estimate of the associated costs can
be made. Adjustments to initial estimates are recorded, from time to time, to reflect changing
circumstances and estimates based upon additional information developed in subsequent periods.
Estimates of our ultimate liabilities associated with environmental costs are particularly
difficult to make with certainty due to the number of variables involved, including the early stage
of investigation at certain sites, the lengthy time frames required to complete remediation
alternatives available and the evolving nature of environmental laws and regulations.

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.
11
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Fair Value of Current Assets and Current Liabilities
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, other
current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, other current liabilities and derivatives
approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair values of these financial
instruments are represented in our consolidated balance sheets.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired and is
presented on the consolidated balance sheets net of accumulated amortization. Our goodwill amounts
are assessed for impairment (i) on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of each year or (ii)
on an interim basis when impairment indicators are present. If such indicators are present (e.g.,
loss of a significant customer, economic obsolescence of plant assets, etc.), the fair value of the
reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned will be calculated and compared to its book value.
If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its book value, the goodwill amount is not
considered to be impaired and no impairment charge is required. If the fair value of the reporting
unit is less than its book value, a charge to earnings is recorded to adjust the carrying value of
the goodwill to its implied fair value. We have not recognized any impairment losses related to
our goodwill for any of the periods presented (see Note 12 for a further discussion of our
goodwill).
Income Taxes
Our limited liability company structure is not subject to federal income taxes. As a result,
our earnings or losses for federal income tax purposes are included in the tax returns of our
member. We are organized as a pass-through entity for federal income tax purposes. As a result,
our member is individually responsible for the federal income tax on its allocable share of our
taxable income.
Texas Margin Tax
In May 2006, the State of Texas enacted a new business tax (the Texas Margin Tax) that
replaces its existing franchise tax. In general, legal entities that do business in Texas are
subject to the Texas Margin Tax. Limited partnerships, limited liability companies, corporations,
limited liability partnerships and joint ventures are examples of the types of entities that are
subject to the Texas Margin Tax. As a result of the change in tax law, TEPPCOs tax status in the
state of Texas changed from nontaxable to taxable. The Texas Margin Tax is considered an income
tax for purposes of adjustments to deferred tax liability, as the tax is determined by applying a
tax rate to a base that considers both revenues and expenses. Our deferred income tax expense for
state taxes relates only to Texas Margin Tax obligations. The Texas Margin Tax becomes effective
for franchise tax reports due on or after January 1, 2008. The Texas Margin Tax due in 2008 will
be based on revenues earned during the 2007 fiscal year.
The Texas Margin Tax is assessed at 1% of Texas-sourced taxable margin measured by the ratio
of gross receipts from business done in Texas to gross receipts from business done everywhere. The
taxable margin is computed as the lesser of (i) 70% of total revenue or (ii) total revenues less
(a) cost of goods sold or (b) compensation. The deferred tax liability shown on our consolidated
balance sheet reflects the net tax effect of temporary differences related to items such as
property, plant and equipment; therefore, the deferred tax liability is classified as noncurrent.
The Texas Margin Tax is calculated, paid and filed at an affiliated unitary group level.
Generally, an affiliated group is made up of one or more entities in which a controlling interest
of at least 80% is owned by a common owner or owners. Generally, a business is unitary if it is
characterized by a sharing or exchange of value between members of the group, and a synergy and
mutual benefit all of the members of the group achieved by working together. We have calculated
and recorded an estimated deferred tax liability of approximately
12
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
$0.7 million associated with the Texas Margin Tax. The non-cash offsetting charge is shown on
our statements of consolidated income as deferred income tax expense for the year ended December
31, 2006.
Since the Texas Margin Tax is determined by applying a tax rate to a base that considers both
revenues and expenses, it has characteristics of an income tax. Accordingly, we determined the
Texas Margin Tax should be accounted for as an income tax in accordance with the provisions of SFAS
No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes.
Intangible Assets and Excess Investments
Intangible assets on the consolidated balance sheets consist primarily of gathering contracts
assumed in the acquisition of Val Verde on June 30, 2002, a fractionation agreement and other
intangible assets (see Note 12). Included in equity investments on the consolidated balance sheets
are excess investments in Centennial Pipeline LLC (Centennial), Seaway Crude Pipeline Company
(Seaway) and Jonah.
In connection with the acquisition of Val Verde, we assumed fixed-term contracts with
customers that gather coal bed methane from the San Juan Basin in New Mexico and Colorado. The
value assigned to these intangible assets relates to contracts with customers that are for a fixed
term. These intangible assets are amortized on a unit-of-production basis, based upon the actual
throughput of the system over the expected total throughput for the lives of the contracts.
Revisions to the unit-of-production estimates may occur as additional production information is
made available to us (see Note 12).
In connection with the purchase of the fractionation facilities in 1998, we entered into a
fractionation agreement with DEFS. The fractionation agreement is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over a period of 20 years, which is the term of the agreement with DEFS.
In connection with the acquisition of crude supply and transportation assets in November 2003,
we acquired intangible customer contracts for $8.5 million, which are amortized on a
unit-of-production basis.
In connection with the formation of Centennial, we recorded excess investment, the majority of
which is amortized on a unit-of-production basis over a period of 10 years. In connection with the
acquisition of our interest in Seaway, we recorded excess investment, which is amortized on a
straight-line basis over a period of 39 years. In connection with the formation of our Jonah joint
venture and the construction of its expansion, we recorded excess investment (see Note 12).
Inventories
Inventories consist primarily of petroleum products, which are valued at the lower of cost
(weighted average cost method) or market. Our Downstream Segment acquires and disposes of various
products under exchange agreements. Receivables and payables arising from these transactions are
usually satisfied with products rather than cash. The net balances of exchange receivables and
payables are valued at weighted average cost and included in inventories. Inventories of materials
and supplies, used for ongoing replacements and expansions, are carried at cost.
Minority Interest
Minority interest represents third-party ownership interests in the net assets of TEPPCO
through TEPPCOs publicly traded Units. We own a 2% general partner interest in TEPPCO. For
financial reporting purposes, the assets and liabilities of TEPPCO are consolidated with those of
our own, with any third-party investors interest in our consolidated balance amounts shown as
minority interest. Minority interest expense reflects the allocation of earnings to third-party
investors. Distributions to and contributions from minority interests represent cash payments and
cash contributions, respectively, from such third-party investors.
13
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
At TEPPCOs formation in 1990, TEPPCO completed an initial public offering of 26,500,000 Units
at $10.00 per Unit. In connection with TEPPCOs formation, we received 2,500,000 Deferred
Participation Interests (DPIs). Effective April 1, 1994, the DPIs were converted to Units, but
they have not been listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange. These Units were assigned to
Duke Energy when ownership of us was transferred from Duke Energy to DEFS in 2000. On February 24,
2005, DFI entered into an LP Unit Purchase and Sale Agreement with Duke Energy and purchased these
2,500,000 Units for $104.0 million. As of December 31, 2006, none of these Units had been sold by
DFI.
At December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, TEPPCO had outstanding 89,804,829, 69,963,554 and
62,998,554 Units, respectively.
Natural Gas Imbalances
Gas imbalances occur when gas producers (customers) deliver more or less actual natural gas
gathering volumes to our gathering systems than they originally nominated. Actual deliveries are
different from nominated volumes due to fluctuations in gas production at the wellhead. To the
extent that these shipper imbalances are not cashed out, Val Verde records a payable to shippers
who supply more natural gas gathering volumes than nominated, and receivable from the shippers who
nominate more natural gas gathering volumes than supplied. To the extent pipeline imbalances are
not cashed out, Val Verde records a receivable from connecting pipeline transporters when total
volumes delivered exceed the total of shippers nominations and records a payable to connecting
pipeline transporters when the total shippers nominations exceed volumes delivered. We record
natural gas imbalances using a mark-to-market approach.
Property, Plant and Equipment
We record property, plant and equipment at its acquisition cost. Additions to property, plant
and equipment, including major replacements or betterments, are recorded at cost. We charge
replacements and renewals of minor items of property that do not materially increase values or
extend useful lives to maintenance expense. Depreciation expense is computed on the straight-line
method using rates based upon expected useful lives of various classes of assets (ranging from 2%
to 20% per annum).
We evaluate impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. Recoverability of the carrying amount of assets to be held and used is measured by
a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to estimated future net cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the
estimated fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the
carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell.
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.
14
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Our Upstream Segment revenues are earned from gathering, transportation, marketing and storage
of crude oil, and distribution of 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, L.P. (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, 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 economically hedged.
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 for customers.
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 discussed in Natural Gas Imbalances. Therefore, the
results of our Midstream Segment are not directly affected by changes in the prices of natural gas
or NGLs.
Unit Option Plan and Unit Purchase Plan
At a special meeting of its unitholders on December 8, 2006, TEPPCOs unitholders approved the
EPCO, Inc. 2006 TPP Long-Term Incentive Plan, which provides for awards of TEPPCOs Units and other
rights to TEPPCOs non-employee directors and to employees of EPCO and its affiliates providing
services to us. Awards under this plan may be granted in the form of restricted units, phantom
units, unit options, unit appreciation rights and distribution equivalent rights. Additionally,
TEPPCOs unitholders approved the EPCO, Inc. TPP Employee Unit Purchase Plan, which provides for
discounted purchases of TEPPCOs 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 this plan, provided that employees covered by
collective bargaining agreements (unless otherwise specified therein) and 5% owners of TEPPCO, EPCO
or any affiliate are not eligible to participate (see Note 4).
Use of Derivatives
We account for derivative financial instruments 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.
These statements establish accounting and reporting standards requiring that derivative instruments
(including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) be recorded on the balance
sheet at fair value as either assets or liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value
of a derivative instrument depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting
designation, which is established at the inception of a derivative.
Our derivative instruments consist primarily of interest rate swaps and contracts for the
purchase and sale of petroleum products in connection with our crude oil marketing activities.
Substantially all derivative instruments related to our crude oil marketing activities meet the
normal purchases and sales criteria of SFAS 133, as amended,
15
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
and as such, changes in the fair value of petroleum product purchase and sales agreements are
reported on the accrual basis of accounting. SFAS 133 describes normal purchases and sales as
contracts that provide for the purchase or sale of something other than a financial instrument or
derivative instrument that will be delivered in quantities expected to be used or sold by the
reporting entity over a reasonable period in the normal course of business.
For all hedging relationships, we formally document at inception the hedging relationship and
its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument, the
item, the nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instruments effectiveness in offsetting
the hedged risk will be assessed and a description of the method of measuring ineffectiveness.
This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value or cash flow to
specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted
transactions. We also formally assess, both at the hedges inception and on an ongoing basis,
whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting
changes in fair values or cash flows of hedged items. If it is determined that a derivative is not
highly effective as a hedge or that it has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, we discontinue
hedge accounting prospectively.
For derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges, changes in the fair value of a
derivative that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies as a fair value hedge,
along with the loss or gain on the hedged asset or liability or unrecognized firm commitment of the
hedged item that is attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in earnings with the change in
fair value of the derivative and hedged asset or liability reflected on the balance sheet. Changes
in the fair value of a derivative that is highly effective and that is designated and qualifies as
a cash flow hedge are recorded in other comprehensive income to the extent that the derivative is
effective as a hedge, until earnings are affected by the variability in cash flows of the
designated hedged item. Hedge effectiveness is measured at least quarterly based on the relative
cumulative changes in fair value between the derivative contract and the hedged item over time.
The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of a derivative instrument that qualifies as
either a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge is reported immediately in earnings.
According to SFAS 133, as amended, we are required to discontinue hedge accounting
prospectively when it is determined that the derivative is no longer effective in offsetting
changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedged item, or the derivative expires or is sold,
terminated, or exercised, or the derivative is de-designated as a hedging instrument, because it is
unlikely that a forecasted transaction will occur, a hedged firm commitment no longer meets the
definition of a firm commitment, or management determines that designation of the derivative as a
hedging instrument is no longer appropriate.
When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative no longer
qualifies as an effective fair value hedge, we continue to carry the derivative on the balance
sheet at its fair value and no longer adjust the hedged asset or liability for changes in fair
value. The adjustment of the carrying amount of the hedged asset or liability is accounted for in
the same manner as other components of the carrying amount of that asset or liability. When hedge
accounting is discontinued because the hedged item no longer meets
the definition of a firm
commitment, we continue to carry the derivative on the balance sheet at its fair value, remove any
asset or liability that was recorded pursuant to recognition of the firm commitment from the
balance sheet, and recognize any gain or loss in earnings. When hedge accounting is discontinued
because it is probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, we continue to carry the
derivative on the balance sheet at its fair value with subsequent changes in fair value included in
earnings, and gains and losses that were accumulated in other comprehensive income are recognized
immediately in earnings. In all other situations in which hedge accounting is discontinued, we
continue to carry the derivative at its fair value on the balance sheet and recognize any
subsequent changes in its fair value in earnings.

NOTE 3. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123(R) (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. SFAS
123(R) is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS
No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure and supersedes
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS
123(R) requires that the cost resulting from all share-based payment transactions be recognized in
the financial statements at fair value. SFAS 123(R) became effective for public companies for
annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005. Accordingly, we adopted SFAS 123(R) in the first
quarter of 2006. We adopted SFAS 123(R) under the modified prospective transition method. We have
determined that our 1999 Phantom Unit Retention Plan and our 2005 Phantom Unit Plan are liability
awards under the provisions of SFAS 123(R). No additional compensation expense has been recorded
in connection with the adoption of SFAS 123(R) as we have historically recorded the associated
liabilities at fair value. The adoption of SFAS 123(R) did not have a material effect on our
financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In June 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached consensus in EITF 04-5,
Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited
Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights, to provide guidance on
how general partners in a limited partnership should determine whether they control a limited
partnership and therefore should consolidate it. The EITF agreed that the presumption of general
partner control would be overcome only when the limited partners have either of two types of
rights. The first type, referred to as kick-out rights, is the right to dissolve or liquidate the
partnership or otherwise remove the general partner without cause. The second type, referred to as
participating rights, is the right to effectively participate in significant decisions made in
the ordinary course of the partnerships business. The kick-out rights and the participating rights
must be substantive in order to overcome the presumption of general partner control. The consensus
is effective for general partners of all new limited partnerships formed and for existing limited
partnerships for which the partnership agreements are modified subsequent to the date of FASB
ratification (June 29, 2005). For existing limited partnerships that have not been modified, the
guidance in EITF 04-5 is effective no later than the beginning of the first reporting period in
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. For existing limited partnerships that have not
been modified, the guidance in EITF 04-5 is effective no later than the beginning of the first
reporting period in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. For consistency purposes, we
have consolidated our interest in TEPPCO into our financial statements beginning January 1, 2004.
Prior to the adoption of EITF 04-5, we accounted for our investment in TEPPCO under the equity
method of accounting.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. SFAS 154
establishes new standards on accounting for changes in accounting principles. All such changes
must be accounted for by retrospective application to the financial statements of prior periods
unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154 completely replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting
Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Periods. However, it carries
forward the guidance in those pronouncements with respect to accounting for changes in estimates,
changes in the reporting entity and the correction of errors. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting
changes and error corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, with early
adoption permitted for changes and corrections made in years beginning after June 1, 2005. The
application of SFAS 154 does not affect the transition provisions of any existing pronouncements,
including those that are in the transition phase as of the effective date of SFAS 154. The
adoption of SFAS 154 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In September 2005, the EITF reached consensus in EITF 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and
Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty, to define when a purchase and a sale of inventory
with the same party that operates in the same line of business should be considered a single
nonmonetary transaction subject to APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions.
Two or more inventory transactions with the same party should be combined if they are entered into
in contemplation of one another. The EITF also requires entities to account for
17
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
exchanges of inventory in the same line of business at fair value or recorded amounts based on
inventory classification. The guidance in EITF 04-13 is effective for new inventory arrangements
entered into in reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006. We adopted EITF 04-13 on April
1, 2006, 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. The
treatment of buy/sell transactions under EITF 04-13 reduced the relative amount of revenues and
purchases of petroleum products on our statements of consolidated income by approximately $1,127.6
million for the period from April 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006. The revenues and purchases of
petroleum products associated with buy/sell transactions that are reported on a gross basis in our
statements of consolidated income for the period from January 1, 2006 through March 31, 2006, and
for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, are approximately $275.4 million, $1,405.7 million
and $496.1 million, respectively.
In June 2006, the 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. We believe that adoption of
EITF 06-3 will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income
Taxes, an Interpretation of SFAS 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (FIN 48). FIN 48 provides that
the tax effects of an uncertain tax position should be recognized in a companys financial
statements if the position taken by the entity is more likely than not sustainable if it were to be
examined by an appropriate taxing authority, based on technical merit. After determining if a tax
position meets such criteria, the amount of benefit to be recognized should be the largest amount
of benefit that has more than a 50% chance of being realized upon 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. 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 December 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 September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects
of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements
(SAB 108). SAB 108 addresses how the effects of prior-year uncorrected misstatements should be
considered when quantifying misstatements in current-year financial statements. The SAB requires
registrants to quantify misstatements using both balance-sheet and income-statement approaches and
to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of
relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is
18
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
determined to be material, SAB 108 allows registrants to record that effect as a cumulative-effect
adjustment to beginning-of-year retained earnings. The requirements are effective for annual
financial statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. Additionally,
the nature and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative-effect
adjustment, when and how each error arose, and the fact that the errors had previously been
considered immaterial is required to be disclosed. We are required to adopt SAB 108 for our
current fiscal year ending December 31, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did not have a material
effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit
Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and
132(R). SFAS 158 requires an employer to recognize the over-funded or under-funded status of its
defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans as an asset or liability in its statement of
financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes
occur through comprehensive income. In addition, SFAS 158 eliminates the use of a measurement date
that is different than the date of the employers year-end financial statements. SFAS 158 requires
an employer to disclose in the notes to financial statements additional information about certain
effects on net periodic benefit cost for the next fiscal year that arise from delayed recognition
of the gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, and transition asset or obligation. The
requirement to recognize the funded status and to provide the required disclosures is effective for
fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006. Accordingly, we adopted SFAS 158 in the fourth
quarter 2006. The adoption of SFAS 158 did 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 are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of SFAS 159 on our
financial statements. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS 159 will have a material effect on
our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 4. ACCOUNTING FOR EQUITY AWARDS
1994 Long Term Incentive Plan
During 1994, we adopted the Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company 1994 Long Term Incentive
Plan (1994 LTIP). The 1994 LTIP provided certain key employees with an incentive award whereby
the participant was granted an option to purchase Units. These same employees were also granted a
stipulated number of Performance Units, the cash value of which could have been used to pay for the
exercise of the respective Unit options awarded. Under the provisions of the 1994 LTIP, no more
than one million options and two million Performance Units could have been granted.
According to the plan provisions, when TEPPCOs calendar year earnings per Unit (exclusive of
certain special items) exceeded a stated threshold, each participant received a credit to their
respective Performance Unit account equal to the earnings per Unit excess multiplied by the number
of Performance Units awarded. The balance in the Performance Unit account could have been used to
offset the cost of exercising Unit options granted in connection with the Performance Units or
could have been withdrawn two years after the underlying options expire, usually 10 years from the
date of grant. Any unused balance previously credited was forfeited upon termination. We accrued
compensation expense for the Performance Units awarded annually based upon the terms of the plan
19
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
discussed above. Under the agreement for such Unit options, the options became exercisable in
equal installments over periods of one, two, and three years from the date of the grant.
At December 31, 2006, all options have been fully exercised. We have not granted options for
any periods presented, and we have no accrued liability balances remaining for Performance Unit
accounts. The 1994 LTIP was terminated effective as of June 19, 2006.
1999 and 2002 Phantom Unit Retention Plans
Effective January 1, 1999 and June 1, 2002, we adopted the Texas Eastern Products Pipeline
Company, LLC 1999 Phantom Unit Retention Plan (1999 Plan) and the Texas Eastern Products Pipeline
Company, LLC 2002 Phantom Unit Retention Plan (2002 PURP), respectively. The 1999 Plan and the
2002 PURP 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 TEPPCOs Units as reported on the NYSE on the
redemption date.
Under the agreement for the phantom units, each participant vests the number of phantom units
initially granted under his or her award according to the terms agreed upon at the grant date.
Each participant is required to redeem their phantom units as they vest. 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 TEPPCO paid per Unit
to its unitholders.
We accrue compensation expense annually based upon the terms of the 1999 Plan and 2002 PURP
discussed above. Due to the change in our ownership on February 24, 2005 (see Note 1), all phantom
units outstanding at February 24, 2005 under both the 1999 Plan and the 2002 PURP fully vested and
were redeemed by participants in 2005. As such, there were no outstanding phantom units under
either the 1999 Plan or the 2002 PURP at December 31, 2005. During 2006, a total of 44,600 phantom
units were granted under the 1999 Plan and remain outstanding at December 31, 2006. At December
31, 2006, we had an accrued liability balance of $0.8 million for compensation related to the 1999
Plan. No amounts were outstanding and no liabilities remained at December 31, 2006 for the 2002
PURP.
2000 Long Term Incentive Plan
Effective January 1, 2000, we established the Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC
2000 Long Term Incentive Plan (2000 LTIP) to provide key employees incentives to achieve
improvements in TEPPCOs 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 in an amount equal to (1) the applicable performance percentage specified in
the award multiplied by (2) the number of phantom units granted under the award multiplied by (3)
the average of the closing prices of a TEPPCO Unit over the ten consecutive trading days
immediately preceding the last day of the performance period. Generally, a participants
performance percentage is based upon the improvement of TEPPCOs Economic Value Added (as defined
below) during a three-year performance period over the Economic Value Added during the three-year
period immediately preceding the performance period. If a participant incurs a separation from
service during the performance period due to death, disability or retirement (as such terms are
defined in the 2000 LTIP), the participant will be entitled to receive a cash payment in an amount
equal to the amount computed as described above multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the number of days that have elapsed during the performance period prior to the participants
separation from service and the denominator of which is the number of days in the performance
period.
At December 31, 2006, 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. At December 31, 2005,
there were 23,400
20
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
phantom units outstanding for awards granted for the plan year ended December 31, 2005. All
phantom units for awards granted under the 2003 and 2004 plan years became fully vested and were
paid out to participants in 2005, in accordance with plan provisions as a result of the change in
our ownership on February 24, 2005.
Economic Value Added means TEPPCOs average annual EBITDA for the performance period minus the
product of its average asset base and its cost of capital for the performance period. EBITDA means
TEPPCOs earnings before net interest expense, other income net, depreciation and amortization
and its proportional interest in EBITDA of its joint ventures as presented in its consolidated
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, except
that at his discretion our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) may exclude gains or losses from
extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items. Average asset base means the quarterly average,
during the performance period, of TEPPCOs gross value of property, plant and equipment, plus
products and crude oil operating oil supply and the gross value of intangibles and equity
investments. TEPPCOs cost of capital is approved by our CEO at the date of award grant.
In addition to the payment described above, during the performance period, we will pay to the
participant the amount of cash distributions that TEPPCO would have paid to its 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 2000 LTIP discussed above. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had an accrued liability balance
of $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for compensation related to the 2000 LTIP.
2005 Phantom Unit Plan
Effective January 1, 2005, we 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 TEPPCOs 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 in an amount equal to (1) the grantees vested percentage multiplied by (2)
the number of phantom units granted under the award multiplied by (3) the average of the closing
prices of a TEPPCO Unit over the ten consecutive trading days immediately preceding the last day of
the performance period. Generally, a participants vested percentage is based upon the improvement
of TEPPCOs EBITDA (as defined below) during a three-year performance period over the target EBITDA
as defined at the beginning of each year during the three-year performance period. EBITDA means
TEPPCOs earnings before minority interest, net interest expense, other income net, income taxes,
depreciation and amortization and its proportional interest in EBITDA of its joint ventures as
presented in its consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, except that at his discretion, our CEO may exclude gains or losses from
extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items. At December 31, 2006, phantom units outstanding for
awards granted for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, were 44,200 and 44,000,
respectively. At December 31, 2005, phantom units outstanding for awards granted for the plan year
ended December 31, 2005, were 53,600.
In addition to the payment described above, during the performance period, we will pay to the
participant the amount of cash distributions that TEPPCO would have paid to its 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 discussed above. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had an accrued
liability balance of $1.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for compensation related to the
2005 Phantom Unit Plan.
EPCO, Inc. 2006 TPP Long-Term Incentive Plan
At a special meeting of its unitholders on December 8, 2006, TEPPCOs unitholders approved the
EPCO, Inc. 2006 TPP Long-Term Incentive Plan (2006 LTIP), which provides for awards of TEPPCOs
Units and other
21
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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 will be determined by the
Audit and Conflicts Committee of our board of directors (AC 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 will be administered by the AC 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. As of December 31, 2006, no awards had been granted under the 2006 LTIP. We will
reimburse EPCO for the costs allocable to any future Incentive Plan awards made to employees who
work in our business.
The 2006 LTIP may be amended or terminated at any time by the board of directors of EPCO or
the AC 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 TEPPCOs unitholders. The AC Committee is also 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 AC Committee.
EPCO, Inc. TPP Employee Unit Purchase Plan
At a special meeting of its unitholders on December 8, 2006, TEPPCOs unitholders approved the
EPCO, Inc. TPP Employee Unit Purchase Plan (the Unit Purchase Plan), which provides for
discounted purchases of TEPPCOs 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 TEPPCO, EPCO, any of EPCOs affiliates or
any other person; however, it is generally intended that Units are to be acquired from TEPPCO.
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 will reimburse EPCO for
all such costs allocated to employees who work in our business.
The plan will be 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
TEPPCOs 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 December 31, 2006, no purchase period has begun and no Units had been purchased under
this plan.

NOTE 5. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
Retirement Plans
The TEPPCO Retirement Cash Balance Plan (TEPPCO RCBP) was a non-contributory,
trustee-administered pension plan. In addition, the TEPPCO Supplemental Benefit Plan (TEPPCO
SBP) was a non-contributory, nonqualified, defined benefit retirement plan, in which certain
executive officers participated. The TEPPCO SBP was established to restore benefit reductions
caused by the maximum benefit limitations that apply to qualified plans. 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 participants salary, age and service. We used a December 31
measurement date for these plans.
On May 27, 2005, the TEPPCO RCBP and the TEPPCO SBP were amended. 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 and the TEPPCO SBP
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 will
purchase an annuity contract from an insurance company in which the plan participant owns the
annuity, absolving us of any future obligation to the participant. Participants in the TEPPCO SBP
received pay credits through November 30, 2005, and received lump sum benefit payments in December
2005. Both the TEPPCO RCBP and TEPPCO SBP benefit payments are discussed below.
In June 2005, we recorded a curtailment charge of $0.1 million in accordance with SFAS No. 88,
Employers Accounting for Settlements and Curtailments of Defined Benefit Pension Plans and for
Termination Benefits, as a result of the TEPPCO RCBP and TEPPCO SBP amendments. As of May 31,
2005, the following assumptions were changed for purposes of determining the net periodic benefit
costs for the remainder of 2005: the discount rate, the long-term rate of return on plan assets,
and the assumed mortality table. The discount rate was decreased from 5.75% to 5.00% to reflect
rates of returns on bonds currently available to settle the liability. The expected long-term
rate of return on plan assets was changed from 8% to 2% due to the movement of plan funds from
equity investments into short-term money market funds. The mortality table was changed to reflect
overall improvements in mortality experienced by the general population. The curtailment charge
arose due to the accelerated recognition of the unrecognized prior service costs. We recorded
additional settlement charges of approximately $0.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2005 relating
to the TEPPCO SBP. We recorded additional settlement charges of approximately $3.5 million during
the fourth quarter of 2006 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 December
31, 2006, $1.3 million of the TEPPCO RCBP plan assets had not been distributed to plan
participants.

Other Postretirement Benefits
We provided certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees on a
contributory and non-contributory basis (TEPPCO OPB). Employees became eligible for these
benefits if they met certain age and service requirements at retirement, as defined in the plans.
We provided a fixed dollar contribution, which did not increase from year to year, towards retired
employee medical costs. The retiree paid all health care cost increases due to medical inflation.
We used a December 31 measurement date for this plan.
In May 2005, benefits provided to employees under the TEPPCO OPB were changed. Employees
eligible for these benefits received them through December 31, 2005, however, effective December
31, 2005, these benefits were terminated. As a result of this change in benefits and in accordance
with SFAS No. 106, Employers Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions, we
recorded a curtailment credit of approximately $1.7 million in our accumulated postretirement
obligation which reduced our accumulated postretirement obligation to the total of the expected
remaining 2005 payments under the TEPPCO OPB. The employees participating in this plan at that
time were transferred to DEFS, who is expected to provide postretirement benefits to these
retirees. We recorded a one-time settlement to DEFS in the third quarter of 2005 of $0.4 million
for the remaining postretirement benefits.
The components of net postretirement benefits cost for the TEPPCO OPB for the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, were as follows:

Effective June 1, 2005, the payroll functions performed by DEFS for us were transferred from
DEFS to EPCO. For those employees who were receiving certain other postretirement benefits at the
time of our acquisition by DFI, DEFS is expected to continue to provide these benefits to those
employees. Effective June 1, 2005, EPCO began providing certain other postretirement benefits to
those employees who became eligible for the benefits after June 1, 2005, and will charge those
benefit related costs to us. As a result of these changes, we recorded a $1.2 million reduction in
our other postretirement obligation in June 2005.

We employed a building block approach in determining the long-term rate of return for
plan assets. Historical markets were studied and long-term historical relationships between
equities and fixed-income were preserved consistent with a widely accepted capital market principle
that assets with higher volatility generate a greater return over the long run. Current market
factors such as inflation and interest rates were evaluated before long-term capital market
assumptions were determined. The long-term portfolio return was established via a building block
approach with proper consideration of diversification and rebalancing. Peer data and historical
returns were reviewed to check for reasonability and appropriateness.
The weighted average assumptions used to determine benefit obligations for the retirement
plans and other postretirement benefit plans at December 31, 2006 and 2005, were as follows:

Plan Assets
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, all plan assets for the retirement plans and other
postretirement benefit plans were invested in money market securities. We do not expect to make
further contributions to our retirement plans and other postretirement benefit plans in 2007.
Other Plans
DEFS also sponsored an employee savings plan, which covered substantially all employees.
Effective February 24, 2005, in conjunction with the change in our ownership, our participation in
this plan ended. Plan contributions on our behalf of $0.9 million and $3.5 million were recognized
for the period January 1, 2005 through February 23, 2005, and during the year ended December 31,
2004, respectively.
EPCO maintains a 401(k) plan for the benefit of employees providing services to us, and we
will continue to reimburse EPCO for the cost of maintaining this plan in accordance with the ASA.
NOTE 6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS INTEREST RATE SWAPS
In July 2000, TEPPCO entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge its exposure to
increases in the benchmark interest rate underlying its variable rate revolving credit facility.
This interest rate swap matured in April 2004. We designated this swap agreement, which hedged
exposure to variability in expected future cash flows attributed to changes in interest rates, as a
cash flow hedge. The swap agreement was based on a notional amount of $250.0 million. Under the
swap agreement, TEPPCO paid a fixed rate of interest of 6.955% and received a floating rate based
on a three-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate. Because this swap was designated as a cash flow hedge,
the changes in fair value, to the extent the swap was effective, were recognized in other
comprehensive income until the hedged interest costs were recognized in earnings. During the year
ended December 31, 2004, we recognized an increase in interest expense of $2.9 million related to
the difference between the fixed rate and the floating rate of interest on the interest rate swap.
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 years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, we recognized
reductions in interest expense of $1.9 million, $5.6 million and $9.6 million, respectively,
related to the difference between the fixed rate and the floating rate of interest on the interest
rate swap. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, 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 $2.6 million and $0.9 million at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
During 2002, TEPPCO entered into interest rate swap agreements, designated as fair value
hedges, to hedge its exposure to changes in the fair value of TEPPCOs fixed rate 7.625% Senior
Notes due 2012. The swap
27
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
agreements had a combined notional amount of $500.0 million and matured in 2012 to match the
principal and maturity of the Senior Notes. Under the swap agreements, TEPPCO 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 Senior Notes and are being amortized using the effective interest method as
reductions to future interest expense over the remaining term of the Senior Notes. At December 31,
2006 and 2005, the unamortized balance of the deferred gains was $28.0 million and $32.4 million,
respectively. In the event of early extinguishment of the Senior Notes, any remaining unamortized
gains would be recognized in the statement of consolidated income at the time of extinguishment.
During May 2005, TEPPCO executed a treasury rate lock agreement for a notional amount of
$200.0 million to hedge its exposure to increases in the treasury rate that was to be used to
establish the fixed interest rate for a debt offering that was proposed to occur in the second
quarter of 2005. During June 2005, the proposed debt offering was cancelled, and the treasury lock
was terminated with a realized loss of $2.0 million. The realized loss was recorded as a component
of interest expense in the statements of consolidated income in June 2005.
On January 20, 2006, TEPPCO entered into interest rate swap agreements with a total notional
amount of $200.0 million to hedge its exposure to increases in the benchmark interest rate
underlying its variable rate revolving credit facility. These interest rate swaps mature in
January 2008. Under the swap agreements, TEPPCO pays 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 December 31, 2006, the fair
value of these interest rate swaps was $1.1 million.
During October 2006, TEPPCO executed a series of treasury rate lock agreements that extend
through June 2007 for a notional amount totaling $200.0 million. These agreements, which are
derivative instruments, have been designated as cash flow hedges to offset TEPPCOs 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 it expects to incur in 2007. The weighted average rate under
the treasury lock agreements was approximately 4.7%. The actual coupon rate of the expected debt
issuance will be comprised of the underlying U.S. Treasury benchmark rate, plus a credit spread
premium for its debt security. At December 31, 2006, the fair value of these treasury locks was
less than $0.1 million. To the extent effective, gains and losses on the value of the treasury
locks will be deferred until the forecasted debt is issued and will be amortized to earnings over
the life of the debt. No ineffectiveness was required to be recorded as of December 31, 2006.

Depreciation expense, including impairment charges, on property, plant and equipment was $78.9
million, $80.8 million and $80.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. During the fourth quarter of 2004, we wrote off approximately $2.1 million in assets
taken out of service to depreciation expense.
In September 2005, our Todhunter facility, near Middletown, Ohio, experienced a propane
release and fire at a dehydration unit within the storage facility. The facility is included in
our Downstream Segment. The dehydration unit was destroyed due to the propane release and fire,
and as a result, we wrote off the remaining book value of the asset of $0.8 million to depreciation
and amortization expense during the third quarter of 2005.
We evaluate impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144. During the third
quarter of 2005, our Upstream Segment was notified by a connecting carrier that the flow of its
pipeline system would be

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
reversed, which would directly impact the viability of one of our pipeline systems. This system,
located in East Texas, consists of approximately 45 miles of pipeline, six tanks of various sizes
and other equipment and asset costs. As a result of changes to the connecting carrier, we
performed an impairment test of the system and recorded a $1.8 million non-cash impairment
charge, included in depreciation and amortization expense in our statements of consolidated income,
for the excess carrying value over the estimated discounted cash flows of the system.
During the third quarter of 2005, we completed an evaluation of a crude oil system included in
our Upstream Segment. The system, located in Oklahoma, consists of approximately six miles of
pipelines, tanks and other equipment and asset costs. The usage of the system has declined in
recent months as a result of shifting crude oil production into areas not supported by the system,
and as such, it has become more economical to transport barrels by truck to our other pipeline
systems. As a result, we performed an impairment test on the system and recorded a $0.8 million
non-cash impairment charge, included in depreciation and amortization expense in our statements of
consolidated income, for the excess carrying value over the estimated discounted cash flows of the
system.
During the third quarter of 2004, we completed an evaluation of our marine terminal facility
in the Beaumont, Texas, area. The facility consists primarily of a barge dock, a ship dock, four
storage tanks and various segments of connecting pipelines and is included in our Downstream
Segment. The evaluation indicated that the docks and other assets at the facility needed extensive
work to continue to be commercially operational. As a result, we performed an impairment test on
the entire marine facility and recorded a $4.4 million non-cash impairment charge, included in
depreciation and amortization expense in our statements of consolidated income, for the excess
carrying value over the estimated discounted cash flows of the facility.
Asset Retirement Obligations
During 2006, we recorded $0.6 million of expense, included in depreciation and amortization
expense, related to conditional AROs related to the retirement of the Val Verde natural gas
gathering system and to structural restoration work to be completed on leased office space that is
required upon our anticipated office lease termination. Additionally, we have recorded a $1.2
million liability, which represents the present values of these conditional AROs. During 2006, we
assigned probabilities for settlement dates and settlement methods for use in an expected present
value measurement and recorded conditional AROs.
The following table presents information regarding our asset retirement obligations:

Property, plant and equipment at December 31, 2006, includes $0.5 million of asset retirement
costs capitalized as an increase in the associated long-lived asset. Additionally, based on
information currently available, we estimate that accretion expense will approximate $0.1 million
for 2007, $0.1 million for 2008, $0.1 million for 2009, $0.2 million for 2010 and $0.2 million for
2011.

NOTE 9. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES
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 the Seaway assets.
Seaway owns a pipeline that carries mostly imported 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. From June 2002 through
December 31, 2005, we received 60% of revenue and expense of Seaway. The sharing ratio changed
from 60% to 40% on May 12, 2006, and as such, or share of revenue and expense of Seaway was 47% for
2006. Thereafter, we receive 40% of revenue and expense of Seaway. During the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, we received distributions from Seaway of $20.5 million, $24.7
million and $36.9 million, respectively. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004,
we did not invest any funds in Seaway.
Centennial
In August 2000, TE Products entered into agreements with Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Company
(PEPL), a former subsidiary of CMS Energy Corporation, and Marathon Petroleum Company LLC
(Marathon) to form Centennial. Centennial owns an interstate refined petroleum products pipeline
extending from the upper Texas Gulf Coast to central Illinois. Through February 9, 2003, each
participant owned a one-third interest in Centennial. On February 10, 2003, TE Products and
Marathon each acquired an additional 16.7% interest in Centennial from PEPL for $20.0 million each,
increasing their ownership percentages in Centennial to 50% each. During the years ended December
31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, TE Products contributed $2.5 million, $0 and $1.5 million,
respectively, to Centennial. TE Products has received no cash distributions from Centennial since
its formation.
MB Storage
On January 1, 2003, TE Products and Louis Dreyfus Energy Services L.P. (Louis Dreyfus)
formed Mont Belvieu Storage Partners, L.P. (MB Storage). TE Products and Louis Dreyfus each
owned a 50% ownership interest in MB Storage. 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. Pursuant to a Federal Trade
Commission (FTC) order and consent agreement, we sold our interest in MB Storage and certain
related pipelines on March 1, 2007 (see Note 21). Effective January 1, 2003, TE Products
contributed property and equipment with a net book value of $67.1 million to MB Storage.
Additionally, as of the contribution date, Louis Dreyfus had invested $6.1 million for expansion
projects for MB Storage that TE Products was required to reimburse if the original joint
development and marketing agreement was terminated by either party. This deferred liability was
also contributed and credited to the capital account of Louis Dreyfus in MB Storage.
For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, TE Products received the first $1.7 million
per quarter (or $6.78 million on an annual basis) of MB Storages income before depreciation
expense, as defined in the Agreement of Limited Partnership of MB Storage. For the year ended
December 31, 2004, TE Products received the first $1.8 million per quarter (or $7.15 million on an
annual basis) of MB Storages income before depreciation expense. TE Products share of MB
Storages earnings is adjusted annually by the partners of MB Storage. Any amount of MB Storages
annual income before depreciation expense in excess of $6.78 million for 2006 and 2005 and $7.15
million for 2004 was allocated evenly between TE Products and Louis Dreyfus. Depreciation expense
on assets each party originally contributed to MB Storage is 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 is allocated evenly between TE Products and Louis
Dreyfus. For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, TE Products sharing ratios in the
earnings of MB Storage was 59.4%, 64.2% and 69.4%, respectively. During the years ended December
31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, TE Products received distributions of $12.9 million, $12.4 million and
$10.3 million, respectively, from MB Storage. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and
2004, TE Products contributed $4.8 million, $5.6 million and $21.4 million, respectively, to MB
Storage. The 2005 contribution includes a combination of non-cash asset transfers of
$1.4 million and cash contributions of $4.2 million. The 2004 contribution includes $16.5 million
for the acquisition of storage and pipeline assets in April 2004. The remaining contributions have
been for capital expenditures.

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 own
an 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, is
scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2007. The second portion of the expansion is
expected to be completed by the end of 2007. The anticipated cost of the Phase V expansion is
expected to be approximately $444.0 million. We expect to reimburse Enterprise for approximately
50% of these 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 to that exceed the agreed upon base cost estimate.
Enterprise will continue to manage the Phase V construction project. We are entitled to all
distributions from the joint venture until specified milestones are achieved, at which point
Enterprise will be entitled to receive
32
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
approximately 50% of the incremental cash flow from portions of the system placed in service
as part of the expansion. From August 1, 2006, we and Enterprise equally share the costs of the
Phase V expansion. We have reimbursed Enterprise $109.4 million for 50% of the Phase V cost
incurred by it (including its cost of capital of $1.3 million). At December 31, 2006, we had a
payable to Enterprise for costs incurred through December 31, 2006, of $8.7 million. After
subsequent milestones are achieved, we and Enterprise will share distributions 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 expect to own an
interest in Jonah of approximately 80%, with Enterprise owning the remaining 20% and serving as
operator, with further costs being allocated based on such ownership interests. For the year ended
December 31, 2006, our sharing ratio in the earnings of Jonah was 99.7%. During the year ended
December 31, 2006, Jonah declared a distribution to us of $41.6 million, of which $30.0 was paid in
cash and the remainder is reflected as a receivable from Jonah. During the year ended December 31,
2006, we contributed $121.0 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. This transaction was reviewed and recommended for approval by
our AC Committee.
Effective August 1, 2006, with the formation of the joint venture, Jonah was deconsolidated,
and we began using the equity method of accounting to account for our investment in Jonah. Under
the equity method, we record the costs of our investment within the Equity Investments line on
our consolidated balance sheet, and as changes in the net assets of Jonah occur (for example,
earnings, contributions and distributions), we will recognize our proportional share of that change
in the Equity Investments account.

NOTE 10. ACQUISITIONS
Mexia Pipeline
On March 31, 2005, we purchased crude oil pipeline assets for $7.1 million from BP Pipelines
(North America) Inc. (BP). The assets include approximately 158 miles of pipeline, which extend
from Mexia, Texas, to the Houston, Texas, area and two stations in south Houston with connections
to a BP pipeline that originates in south Houston. We funded the purchase through borrowings under
TEPPCOs revolving credit facility, and we allocated the purchase price to property, plant and
equipment. We have integrated these assets into our South Texas pipeline system, which is included
in our Upstream Segment.
33
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Storage and Terminaling Assets
On April 1, 2005, we purchased crude oil storage and terminaling assets in Cushing, Oklahoma,
from Koch Supply & Trading, L.P. for $35.4 million. The assets consist of eight storage tanks with
945,000 barrels of storage capacity, receipt and delivery manifolds, interconnections to several
pipelines, crude oil inventory and approximately 70 acres of land. We funded the purchase through
borrowings under TEPPCOs revolving credit facility, and we allocated the purchase price to
property, plant and equipment and inventory.
Refined Products Terminal and Truck Rack
On July 12, 2005, we purchased a refined products terminal and truck loading rack in North
Little Rock, Arkansas, for $6.9 million from ExxonMobil Corporation. The assets include three
storage tanks and a two-bay truck loading rack. We funded the purchase through borrowings under
TEPPCOs revolving credit facility, and we allocated the purchase price to property, plant and
equipment and inventory. The terminal serves the central Arkansas refined products market and
complements our existing Downstream Segment infrastructure in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
Genco Assets
On July 15, 2005, we acquired from Texas Genco LLC (Genco) all of its interests in certain
companies that own a 90-mile pipeline system and 5.5 million barrels of storage capacity for $62.1
million. We funded the purchase through borrowings under TEPPCOs revolving credit facility, and
we allocated the purchase price to property, plant and equipment. This acquisition was made as
part of an expansion of our refined products origin capabilities in the Houston, Texas, and Texas
City, Texas, areas. The assets of the purchased companies are being integrated into our Downstream
Segment origin infrastructure in Texas City and Baytown, Texas. The integration and other system
enhancements should be in service by the first quarter of 2007, at an estimated cost of $45.0
million. On October 6, 2006, we sold certain of these assets to an affiliate of Enterprise (see
Note 11).
Terminal Assets
On July 14, 2006, we purchased assets from New York LP Gas Storage, Inc. for $10.0 million.
The assets consist of two active caverns, one active brine pond, a four bay truck rack, seven above
ground storage tanks, and a twelve-spot railcar rack located east of our Watkins Glen, New York
facility. We funded the purchase through borrowings under TEPPCOs revolving credit facility, and
we allocated the purchase price, net of liabilities assumed, primarily to property, plant and
equipment and inventory.
Refined Products Terminal
Effective November 1, 2006, we purchased a refined petroleum product terminal in Aberdeen,
Mississippi, for approximately $5.8 million from Mississippi Terminal and Marketing Inc. (MTMI).
We funded the purchase through borrowings under TEPPCOs revolving credit facility, and we
allocated the purchase price primarily to property, plant and equipment, goodwill and intangible
assets. We recorded $1.3 million of goodwill in this acquisition. The facility, located along the
Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway system, has storage capacity of 130,000 barrels for gasoline and
diesel, which are supplied by barge for delivery to local markets, including Tupelo and Columbus,
Mississippi. In connection with this acquisition, which we plan to integrate into our Downstream
Segment, we plan to construct a new 500,000-barrel terminal in Boligee, Alabama, at a cost of
approximately $20.0 million, on an 80-acre site which we are leasing from the Greene County
Industrial Development Board under a 60-year agreement. The Boligee terminal site is located
approximately two miles from Colonial Pipeline. The new terminal is expected to begin service
during the fourth quarter of 2007.

Cavern Assets
On December 26, 2006, we purchased assets from Vectren Utility Holdings, Inc. for $4.8
million. The assets consist of one active 170,000 barrel LPG storage cavern, the associated piping
and related equipment. These assets are located adjacent to our Todhunter facility near Middleton,
Ohio and tie into our existing LPG pipeline. We funded the purchase through borrowings under
TEPPCOs revolving credit facility, and we allocated the purchase price primarily to property,
plant and equipment.
NOTE 11. DISPOSITIONS AND 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 Jonahs 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 our AC 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 years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, are presented below:

Crude oil and Refined Products Assets
On October 6, 2006, we sold certain crude oil pipeline assets and refined products pipeline
assets in the Houston, Texas area, to an affiliate of Enterprise for approximately $11.7 million.
These assets, which have been idle since acquisition, were part of the assets acquired by us in
2005 from Genco and BP (see Note 10). The sales proceeds were used to fund organic growth
projects, retire debt and for other general partnership purposes. The carrying value of these
pipeline assets was approximately $6.0 million. We recognized a gain of $5.7 million on this
transaction.
NOTE 12. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired and is
presented on the consolidated balance sheets net of accumulated amortization. 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.

Effective August 1, 2006, with the formation of a joint venture with Enterprise, Jonah
was deconsolidated and has been subsequently accounted for as an equity investment (see
Note 9). |
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 $28.8 million, $30.5 million and $32.2 million for the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Amortization expense on excess investments
included in equity earnings was $4.3 million, $4.8 million and $3.8 million for the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
The values assigned to our intangible assets for natural gas gathering contracts on the 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. During the quarter ended September 30,
2006, we received updated limited production estimates from some of the producers on the Val Verde
37

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
system, which reduced the future production forecast. We revised the units-of-production
calculation for Val Verde, which increased amortization expense by approximately $0.2 million per
month. Further 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 Jonahs 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.
When the expansion is placed into service, we will amortize the excess investment in Jonah on a
straight-line basis over life of the assets constructed.

estimated amortization expense allocated to equity earnings for the years ending December 31:

Revolving Credit Facility
TEPPCO has 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.
Commitments under the credit facility may be increased up to a maximum of $850.0 million upon
TEPPCOs request, subject to lender approval and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. The
interest rate is based, at TEPPCOs option, on either the lenders 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 requires that TEPPCO 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 TEPPCOs ability to,
among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make certain distributions, incur liens, engage
in specified transactions with affiliates and complete mergers, acquisitions and sales of assets.
On July 31, 2006, TEPPCO amended its Revolving Credit Facility. The primary revisions were as
follows:
|
|
|
The maturity date of the credit facility was extended from December 13, 2010 to
December 13, 2011. Also under the terms of the amendment, TEPPCO may request up to
two one-year extensions of the maturity date. These extensions, if requested, will
become effective subject to lender approval and satisfaction of certain other
conditions. |
|
|
|
|
The amendment releases Jonah as a guarantor of the Revolving Credit Facility and
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. |
|
|
|
|
The amendment modifies the financial covenants to, among other things, allows
TEPPCO to include in the calculation of its Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the
Revolving Credit Facility) pro forma adjustments for material capital projects. |
|
|
|
|
The amendment allows for the issuance of Hybrid Securities (as defined in the
Revolving Credit Facility) of up to 15% of TEPPCOs Consolidated Total
Capitalization (as defined in the Revolving Credit Facility). |
At December 31, 2006, TEPPCO had $490.0 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit
Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 5.96%. At December 31, 2006, TEPPCO was in
compliance with the covenants of this credit facility.
Senior Notes
On January 27, 1998, TE Products issued of $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

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 TE Products ability to incur additional indebtedness. At December 31,
2006, TE Products was in compliance with the covenants of the TE Products Senior Notes.
On February 20, 2002, TEPPCO issued $500.0 million principal amount of 7.625% Senior Notes due
2012 (7.625% TEPPCO Senior Notes). The 7.625% TEPPCO 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 7.625%
TEPPCO Senior Notes may be redeemed at any time at TEPPCOs 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 the 7.625% TEPPCO
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 TEPPCOs ability to incur additional indebtedness. At December 31, 2006, TEPPCO was in
compliance with the covenants of these 7.625% TEPPCO Senior Notes.
On January 30, 2003, TEPPCO issued $200.0 million principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes due
2013 (6.125% TEPPCO Senior Notes). The 6.125% TEPPCO 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 6.125%
TEPPCO Senior Notes may be redeemed at any time at TEPPCOs 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
TEPPCO has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge its exposure to changes in the
fair value on a portion of the Senior Notes discussed above (see Note 6). In May 2007, TEPPCO
issued junior subordinated notes (see Note 21 for further information).
Letter of Credit
At December 31, 2006, TEPPCO had outstanding an $8.7 million standby letter of credit in
connection with crude oil purchased during the fourth quarter of 2006. The payable related to
these purchases of crude oil is expected to be paid during the first quarter of 2007.
NOTE 14. MINORITY INTEREST
Minority interest represents third-party ownership interests, including those of TEPPCOs
public unitholders, in the net assets of TEPPCO through TEPPCOs publicly traded Units. The Parent
Company owns a 2% general partner interest in TEPPCO. For financial reporting purposes, the assets
and liabilities of TEPPCO are consolidated with those of our own, with any third-party investors
interest in our consolidated balance amounts shown as minority interest. Minority interest expense
reflects the allocation of earnings to third-party investors. Distributions to and contributions
from minority interests represent cash payments and cash contributions, respectively, from such
third-party investors.
The following table shows the activity for minority interest for the years ended December 31,
2006, 2005 and 2004:

TEPPCOs Equity Offerings Issuance of Units
On May 5, 2005, TEPPCO issued and sold in an underwritten public offering 6.1 million Units at
a price to the public of $41.75 per Unit. The proceeds from the offering, net of underwriting
discount, totaled approximately $244.5 million. On June 8, 2005, 865,000 Units were sold upon
exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option granted in connection with the offering on May
5, 2005. Proceeds from the over-allotment sale, net of underwriting discount, totaled $34.7
million. The proceeds were used to reduce indebtedness under TEPPCOs Revolving Credit Facility,
to fund revenue generating and system upgrade capital expenditures and for general partnership
purposes.
41
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In July 2006, TEPPCO issued and sold in an underwritten public offering 5.0 million Units at a
price to the public of $35.50 per Unit. The proceeds from the offering, net of underwriting
discount, totaled approximately $170.4 million. On July 12, 2006, 750,000 additional Units were
sold upon exercise of the underwriters over-allotment option granted in connection with the
offering. Proceeds from the over-allotment sale, net of underwriting discount, totaled $25.6
million. The net proceeds from the offering and the over-allotment were used to reduce
indebtedness under TEPPCOs Revolving Credit Facility.
Incentive Distribution Rights
On December 8, 2006, at a special meeting of its unitholders, TEPPCOs Fourth Amended and
Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the New Partnership Agreement), which amends and
restates the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership in effect prior to the
special meeting (the Previous Partnership Agreement) was approved and became effective. The New
Partnership Agreement contains the following amendments to the Previous Partnership Agreement,
among others:
|
|
|
changes to certain provisions that relate to distributions and capital
contributions, including the reduction in the Parent Companys incentive
distribution rights from 50% to 25% (IDR Reduction Amendment), elimination of the
Parent Companys requirement to make capital contributions to TEPPCO to maintain a
2% capital account, and adjustment of TEPPCOs minimum quarterly distribution and
target distribution levels for entity-level taxes; |
|
|
|
|
changes to various voting percentage requirements, in most cases from 66 2/3% of
outstanding Units to a majority of outstanding Units; |
|
|
|
|
the percentage of holders of outstanding Units necessary to constitute a quorum
was reduced from 66 2/3% to a majority of the outstanding Units; |
|
|
|
|
removal of provisions requiring unitholder approval for specified actions with
respect to the Operating Partnerships; |
|
|
|
|
changes to supplement and revise certain provisions that relate to conflicts of
interest and fiduciary duties; and |
|
|
|
|
changes to provide for certain registration rights of the Parent Company and its
affiliates (including with respect to the Units issued in respect of the IDR
Reduction Amendment, as described below), for the maintenance of the separateness
of TEPPCO from any other person or entity and other miscellaneous matters. |
By approval of the various proposals at the special meeting, and upon effectiveness of the New
Partnership Agreement, an agreement was effectuated whereby TEPPCO issued 14,091,275 Limited
Partners Units on December 8, 2006 to the Parent Company as consideration for the IDR Reduction
Amendment. The number of Units issued to the Parent Company was based upon a predetermined formula
that, based on the distribution rate and the number of Units outstanding at the time of the
issuance, resulted in the Parent Company receiving cash distributions from the newly-issued Units
and from its reduced maximum percentage interest in TEPPCOs quarterly distributions approximately
equal to the cash distributions it would have received from its maximum percentage interest in
TEPPCOs quarterly distributions without the IDR Reduction Amendment. Effective as of December 8,
2006, the Parent Company distributed the newly issued Units to its member, which in turn caused
them to be distributed to other affiliates of EPCO.
At the special meeting of its unitholders on December 8, 2006, TEPPCOs unitholders approved
the EPCO, Inc. 2006 TPP Long-Term Incentive Plan, which provides for awards of TEPPCOs Units and
other rights to our non-employee directors and to employees of EPCO and its affiliates providing
services to us. Awards under this plan may be granted in the form of restricted units, phantom
units, unit options, unit appreciation rights and distribution equivalent rights. Additionally,
TEPPCOs unitholders approved the EPCO, Inc. TPP Employee Unit Purchase Plan, which provides for
discounted purchases of its 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
42

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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 this plan, provided that employees
covered by collective bargaining agreements (unless otherwise specified therein) and 5% owners of
TEPPCO, EPCO or any affiliate are not eligible to participate (see Note 4).
At December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, TEPPCO had outstanding 89,804,829, 69,963,554 and
62,998,554 Units, respectively.
NOTE 15. MEMBERS EQUITY (DEFICIT)
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, members equity (deficit) consisted of our capital account and
accumulated other comprehensive income.
Members Equity (Deficit)
At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had deficit balances of $86.0 million and $61.5 million,
respectively, in our members equity account. These negative balances do not represent assets to
us and do not represent obligations of our member to contribute cash or other property to us. The
members equity account generally consists of our members cumulative share of our net income less
cash distributions made to it plus capital contributions that it has made to us. Cash
distributions that we receive during a period from TEPPCO may exceed our share of its net income
for the period. In turn, cash distributions we make to our member during a period may exceed our
net income for the period. TEPPCO makes quarterly cash distributions of all of its Available Cash,
generally defined as consolidated cash receipts less consolidated cash disbursements and cash
reserves established by the Parent Company in its reasonable discretion (these cash distributions
paid to the Parent Company are eliminated upon consolidation of the Parent Companys financial
statements with TEPPCOs financial statements). Cash distributions by us to our member in excess
of our net income and capital contributions during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005,
resulted in deficits in the members equity account at December 31, 2006 and 2005. Future cash
distributions that exceed net income will result in an increase in the deficit balance in the
members equity account.
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 years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, the components of
accumulated other comprehensive income reflected on our consolidated balance sheets were composed
of crude oil hedges, interest rate swaps, and unrecognized losses associated with the TEPPCO RCBP.
The crude oil hedges mature in 2007. 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 TEPPCOs variable rate revolving credit facility and
are designated as cash flow hedges beginning in the third quarter of 2006.

NOTE 16. 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 Other relate primarily to Parent Company financial
statements, 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 21), and in Centennial (see Note 9).
Our Upstream Segment revenues are earned from gathering, transportation, marketing and storage
of crude oil and distribution of 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 9). Seaway consists of
large diameter pipelines that transport crude oil from Seaways marine terminals on the U.S. Gulf
Coast to Cushing,
44
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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 9). 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 Enterprises 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 years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005.

NOTE 17. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
EPCO and Affiliates and Duke Energy, DEFS and Affiliates
Prior to February 24, 2005, we were an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of DEFS. On February
24, 2005, DEFS sold its interest in us to DFI (see Note 1). DEFS and Duke Energy continued to
provide some administrative services for us for a period of up to one year after the sale, at which
time, we assumed these services. In connection with our acquisition by DFI, our employees became
employees of EPCO effective June 1, 2005. Currently, 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, management and other administrative
functions for us (see Note 1).

TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
The following information summarizes our business relationships and related transactions with
EPCO and its affiliates, including entities controlled by Dan L. Duncan, and DEFS and its
affiliates during the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004. We have also provided
information regarding our business relationships and transactions with our unconsolidated
affiliates.
We have an extensive and ongoing relationship with EPCO and its affiliates, which include the
following significant entities:
|
|
|
EPCO and its consolidated private company subsidiaries; |
|
|
|
|
DFI, which owns and controls us; |
|
|
|
|
Enterprise Products Partners L.P., which is controlled by affiliates of EPCO; |
|
|
|
|
Duncan Energy Partners L.P. (DEP), which is controlled by affiliates of EPCO; and |
|
|
|
|
Enterprise Gas Processing LLC, which is controlled by affiliates of EPCO and is
our joint venture partner in Jonah. |
EPCO, a private company controlled by Dan L. Duncan, also owns DFI, which owns and controls
us. DFI owns all of the membership interests in us. Our principal business activity is to act as
TEPPCOs managing partner. Our executive officers are employees of EPCO (see Note 1).
The Parent Company and TEPPCO are both separate legal entities apart from each other and apart
from EPCO and its other affiliates, with assets and liabilities that are separate from those of
EPCO and its other affiliates. EPCO depends on the cash distributions it receives from us and
other investments to fund its other operations and to meet its debt obligations. We paid cash
distributions of $81.9 million and $73.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005,
to our member.
The ownership 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. The ownership 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 are not the result of arms 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.
Administrative Services Agreement
We have no employees. All of our management, administrative and operating functions are
performed by employees of EPCO pursuant to the ASA. The Parent Company and TEPPCO, Enterprise and
its general partner, Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. and its general partner, DEP and its general
partner and certain affiliated entities are parties to the ASA. The significant terms of the ASA
are as follows:
|
|
|
EPCO provides administrative, management, engineering and operating services as
may be necessary to manage and operate our business, properties and assets (in
accordance with prudent industry practices). EPCO will employ or otherwise retain
the services of such personnel as may be necessary to provide such services. |
|
|
|
|
We are required to reimburse EPCO for its services in an amount equal to the sum
of all costs and expenses incurred by EPCO which are directly or indirectly related
to our business or activities (including EPCO expenses reasonably allocated to us).
In addition, we have agreed to pay all sales, use, excise, value added or similar
taxes, if any, that may be applicable from time to time in respect of the services
provided to us by EPCO. |

TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
|
EPCO allows us to participate as named insureds in its overall insurance program
with the associated costs being allocated to us. |
Our operating costs and expenses for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 include
reimbursement payments to EPCO for the costs it incurs to operate our facilities, including
compensation of employees. We reimburse EPCO for actual direct and indirect expenses it incurs
related to the operation of our assets.
Likewise, our general and administrative costs for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005
include amounts we reimburse to EPCO for administrative services, including compensation of
employees. In general, our reimbursement to EPCO for administrative services is either (i) on an
actual basis for direct expenses it may incur on our behalf (e.g., the purchase of office supplies)
or (ii) based on an allocation of such charges between the various parties to the ASA based on the
estimated use of such services by each party (e.g., the allocation of general legal or accounting
salaries based on estimates of time spent on each entitys business and affairs).
EPCO and its affiliates have no obligation to present business opportunities to us or our
Operating Partnerships, and we and our Operating Partnerships have no obligation to present
business opportunities to EPCO and its affiliates. However, the ASA requires that business
opportunities offered to or discovered by EPCO, which controls both us and our affiliates and
Enterprise and it affiliates, be offered first to certain Enterprise affiliates before they may be
pursued by EPCO and its other affiliates or offered to us.
The following table summarizes the related party transactions with EPCO and affiliates and
DEFS and affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004 (in millions):

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 Jonahs 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
50
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
reviewed and recommended for approval by our AC 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 owned the Jonah system. We have
reimbursed Enterprise $109.4 million for 50% of the Phase V cost incurred by it (including its cost
of capital of $1.3 million). At December 31, 2006, we had a payable to Enterprise for costs
incurred through December 31, 2006, of $8.7 million (see Note 9 for further discussion on the Jonah
joint venture).
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, Jonahs 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.
Other Transactions
On October 6, 2006, we sold certain crude oil pipeline assets and refined products pipeline
assets in the Houston, Texas area, to an affiliate of Enterprise for approximately $11.7 million.
These assets, which had been idle since acquisition, were part of the assets acquired by us in 2005
from Genco and BP. The sales proceeds were used to fund organic growth projects, retire debt and
for other general partnership purposes. The carrying value of these pipeline assets at September
30, 2006, was approximately $6.0 million. We recognized a gain of $5.7 million on this
transaction.
On November 1, 2006, we announced plans to construct a new 20-inch diameter lateral pipeline
to connect our mainline system to the Enterprise and MB Storage facilities at Mont Belvieu, Texas,
at a cost of approximately $8.6 million. The new connection, which provides delivery from
Enterprise of propane into our system at full line flow rates, complements our current ability to
source product from MB Storage. The new connection also offers the ability to deliver other liquid
products such as butanes and natural gasoline from Enterprises storage facilities into our system
at reduced flow rates until enhancements can be made. The capability to deliver butanes and
natural gasoline from MB Storage at full flow rates is not expected to be impacted. Construction
of the new connection was completed and placed in service in December 2006. This new pipeline
replaces a 10-mile, 18-inch segment of pipeline that we sold to an Enterprise affiliate in January
2007 (see Note 21).
We have entered into a lease with DEP, for a 12-mile, 10-inch interconnecting pipeline
extending from Pasadena, Texas to Baytown, Texas. The primary term of this lease will expire on
September 15, 2007, and will continue on a month-to-month basis subject to termination by either
party upon 60 days notice.

Relationships with Unconsolidated Subsidiaries
Centennial
TE Products has a 50% ownership interest in Centennial (see Note 9). TE Products has entered
into a management agreement with Centennial to operate Centennials terminal at Creal Springs,
Illinois, and pipeline connection in Beaumont, Texas. For each of the years ended December 31,
2006, 2005 and 2004, we recognized management fees of $0.2 million from Centennial, and actual
operating expenses billed to Centennial were $7.4 million, $3.7 million and $6.9 million,
respectively.
TE Products also has a joint tariff with Centennial to deliver products at TE Products
locations using Centennials pipeline as part of the delivery route to connecting carriers. TE
Products, as the delivering pipeline, invoices the shippers for the entire delivery rate, records
only the net rate attributable to it as transportation revenues and records a liability for the
amounts due to Centennial for its share of the tariff. In addition, TE Products performs ongoing
construction services for Centennial and bills Centennial for labor and other costs to perform the
construction. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had net payable balances of $4.4 million and $1.4
million, respectively, to Centennial for its share of the joint tariff deliveries and other
operational related charges, partially offset by the reimbursement due to us for construction
services provided to Centennial.
In January 2003, TE Products entered into a pipeline capacity lease agreement with Centennial
for a period of five years that contains a minimum throughput requirement. For the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, TE Products incurred $5.6 million, $5.9 million and $5.3 million,
respectively, of rental charges related to the lease of pipeline capacity on Centennial.
Jonah
An affiliate of Enterprise operates the Jonah assets. TCO purchases NGLs from Jonah as part
of its crude oil marketing activities. During the period August 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006,
TCO incurred $2.2 million in purchases from Jonah related to the crude oil marketing activities.
At December 31, 2006, we had a distribution receivable of $11.5 million from Jonah, which is
included in accounts receivable, related parties.
Seaway
We own a 50% ownership interest in Seaway, and the remaining 50% interest is owned by
ConocoPhillips (see Note 9). We operate the Seaway assets. During the years ended December 31,
2006, 2005 and 2004, we billed Seaway $7.6 million, $8.5 million and $7.6 million, respectively,
for direct payroll and payroll related expenses for operating Seaway. Additionally, for each of
the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, we billed Seaway $2.1 million for indirect
management fees for operating Seaway. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, we had payable balances to
Seaway of $1.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for advances Seaway paid to us as operator
for operating costs, including payroll and related expenses and management fees.
MB Storage
Effective January 1, 2003, TE Products entered into agreements with Louis Dreyfus to form MB
Storage (see Note 9). TE Products operates the facilities for MB Storage. TE Products and MB
Storage have entered into a pipeline capacity lease agreement, and for each of the years ended
December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, TE Products recognized $0.1 million in rental revenue related to
this lease agreement. During the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, TE Products also
billed MB Storage $3.1 million, $3.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively, for direct payroll and
payroll related expenses for operating MB Storage. At December 31, 2006, TE Products had a net
payable balance to MB Storage of $2.3 million for operating costs, including payroll and related
expenses for

operating MB Storage. At December 31, 2005, TE Products had a net receivable balance from MB
Storage of $0.9 million for operating costs, including payroll and related expenses for
operating MB Storage.
NOTE 18. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
In the fall of 1999, the Parent Company 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 and satisfy all final judgments which might be
rendered with the remaining claims asserted against us. Consequently, we do not believe that the
outcome of these remaining claims will 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 TEPPCOs other unitholders, and derivatively on TEPPCOs
behalf, concerning proposals made to its unitholders in its definitive proxy statement filed with
the SEC on September 11, 2006 (Proxy Statement) and other transactions involving us and
Enterprise or its affiliates. The complaint names as defendants the Parent
53
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Company; our Board of Directors; the Parent Companys parent companies, including EPCO;
Enterprise and certain of its affiliates; and Dan L. Duncan. TEPPCO is named as a nominal
defendant.
The complaint alleges, among other things, that certain of the transactions proposed in the
Proxy Statement, including a proposal to reduce the Parent Companys maximum percentage interest in
TEPPCOs distributions in exchange for Units (the Issuance Proposal), are unfair to its
unitholders and constitute a breach by the defendants of fiduciary duties owed to its unitholders
and that the Proxy Statement failed to provide its unitholders with all material facts necessary
for them to make an informed decision whether to vote in favor of or against the proposals. The
complaint further alleges that, since Mr. Duncan acquired control of us in 2005, the defendants, in
breach of their fiduciary duties to TEPPCO and its unitholders, have caused TEPPCO to enter into
certain transactions with Enterprise or its affiliates that are unfair to TEPPCO or otherwise
unfairly favored Enterprise or its affiliates over TEPPCO. The complaint alleges that such
transactions include the Jonah joint venture entered into by TEPPCO and an Enterprise affiliate in
August 2006 (citing the fact that our AC Committee did not obtain a fairness opinion from an
independent investment banking firm in approving the transaction) and the sale by TEPPCO to an
Enterprise affiliate of the Pioneer plant in March 2006 and the impending divestiture of TEPPCOS
interest in MB Storage in connection with an investigation by the FTC. As more fully described in
the Proxy Statement, the AC Committee recommended the Issuance Proposal for approval by our Board
of Directors. The complaint also alleges that Richard S. Snell, Michael B. Bracy and Murray H.
Hutchison, constituting the three members of the AC Committee, cannot be considered independent
because of their alleged ownership of securities in Enterprise and its affiliates and their
relationships with Mr. Duncan.
The complaint seeks relief (i) rescinding transactions in the complaint that have been
consummated or awarding rescissory damages in respect thereof including the divestiture of our
interest in MB Storage; (ii) awarding damages for profits and special benefits allegedly obtained
by defendants as a result of the alleged wrongdoings in the complaint; and (iii) awarding plaintiff
costs of the action, including fees and expenses of his attorneys and experts.
On September 22, 2006, the plaintiff in the action filed a motion to expedite the proceedings,
requesting the Court to schedule a hearing on plaintiffs motion for a preliminary injunction to
enjoin the defendants from proceeding with the special meeting of unitholders. On September 26,
2006, the defendants advised the Court that TEPPCO would provide to its unitholders specified
supplemental disclosures, which were included in the Form 8-K and supplemental proxy materials
TEPPCO filed with the SEC on October 5, 2006. The special meeting was convened on December 8,
2006, at which TEPPCO unitholders approved all of the proposals. In light of the foregoing, we
believe that the plaintiffs grounds for seeking relief by requiring TEPPCO to issue a proxy
statement that corrects the alleged misstatements and omissions in the Proxy Statement and
enjoining the special meeting are moot. On November 17, 2006, the defendants (other than TEPPCO,
the nominal defendant) moved to dismiss the complaint. 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.
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
54
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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 December 31, 2006 and 2005,
we have an accrued liability of $1.8 million and $2.4 million, respectively, related to sites
requiring environmental remediation activities.
In 1994, the LDEQ issued a compliance order for environmental contamination at our Arcadia,
Louisiana, facility. In 1999, our Arcadia facility and adjacent terminals were directed by the
Remediation Services Division of the LDEQ to pursue remediation of this 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
December 31, 2006, 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
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
completion of our
55
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
obligations relating to 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 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 FERCs 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 FERCs 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.

fees due on our Revolving Credit Facility. The interest amount calculated on the Revolving
Credit Facility is based on the assumption that the amount outstanding and the interest
rate charged both remain at their current levels. |

We lease property, plant and equipment under noncancelable and cancelable operating
leases. Amounts shown in the table represent minimum cash lease payment obligations under
our operating leases with terms in excess of one year for the periods indicated. Lease
expense is charged to operating costs and expenses on a straight line basis over the period
of expected economic benefit. Contingent rental payments are expensed as incurred. Total
rental expense for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, was $25.3 million,
$24.0 million and $22.1 million, respectively. |

|
We have long and short-term purchase obligations for products and services with
third-party suppliers. The prices that we are obligated to pay under these contracts
approximate current market prices. The preceding table shows our commitments and estimated
payment obligations under these contracts for the periods indicated. Our estimated future
payment obligations are based on the contractual price under each contract for products and
services at December 31, 2006. |
|

|
We have short-term payment obligations relating to capital projects we have initiated.
These commitments represent unconditional payment obligations that we have agreed to pay
vendors for services rendered or products purchased. |

At December 31, 2006, we had outstanding an $8.7 million standby letter of credit in
connection with crude oil purchased during the fourth quarter of 2006. The payable related
to these purchases of crude oil is expected to be paid during the first quarter of 2007. |
|

Excludes approximately $10.1 million of long-term deferred revenue payments, which are
being transferred to income over the term of the respective revenue contracts and $4.2
million related to our estimated long-term portion of our obligation under a catastrophic
event guarantee for Centennial. The amount of commitment by year is our best estimate of
projected payments of these long-term liabilities. |

Centennial entered into credit facilities totaling $150.0 million, and as of December 31,
2006, $150.0 million was outstanding under those credit facilities, of which $10.0
million matures in April 2007, and $140.0 million matures in April 2024. TE Products and Marathon
Petroleum Company LLC (Marathon) have
57
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
each guaranteed one-half of the repayment of Centennials outstanding debt balance (plus
interest) under these credit facilities. The guarantees arose in order for Centennial to obtain
adequate financing to fund construction and conversion costs of its pipeline system. Prior to the
expiration of the long-term credit facility, TE Products could be relinquished from responsibility
under the guarantee should Centennial meet certain financial tests. If Centennial defaults on its
outstanding balance, the estimated maximum potential amount of future payments for TE Products and
Marathon is $75.0 million each at December 31, 2006. As a result of the guarantee, TE Products
recorded an obligation of $0.1 million, which represents the present value of the estimated amount
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 $4.4 million obligation, which represents the present value of the estimated amount that
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 TCOs 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 Parent Company was acquired from DEFS by DFI. On March 11, 2005, the
Bureau of Competition of the FTC delivered written notice to DFIs legal advisor that it was
conducting a non-public investigation to determine whether DFIs acquisition of us may
substantially lessen competition or violate other provisions of federal antitrust laws. We have
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 TEPPCOs 50% interest in MB Storage 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 TEPPCO
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 imposes 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 interest in MB Storage and certain related pipelines, and
we closed on such sale on March 1, 2007 (see Note 21).
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 Motivas 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 Motivas 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 in mid-2009. As a part of a separate but complementary initiative, we will construct an
11-mile, 20-inch pipeline to connect the new storage
58
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
facility in Port Arthur to our refined products terminal in Beaumont, Texas, which is the primary
origination facility for our mainline system. This associated project 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 $240.0 million, including $20.0 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.
Substantially all of the petroleum products that we transport and store are owned by our
customers. At December 31, 2006, TCTM and TE Products had approximately 3.8 million barrels and
23.7 million barrels, respectively, of products in their custody that was owned by customers. We
are obligated for the transportation, storage and delivery of such products on behalf of our
customers. We maintain insurance adequate to cover product losses through circumstances beyond our
control.
We carry insurance coverage consistent with the exposures associated with the nature and scope
of our operations. Our current insurance coverage includes (1) commercial general liability
insurance for liabilities to third parties for bodily injury and property damage resulting from our
operations; (2) workers compensation coverage to required statutory limits; (3) automobile
liability insurance for all owned, non-owned and hired vehicles covering liabilities to third
parties for bodily injury and property damage, and (4) property insurance covering the replacement
value of all real and personal property damage, including damages arising from earthquake, flood
damage and business interruption/extra expense. For select assets, we also carry pollution
liability insurance that provides coverage for historical and gradual pollution events. All
coverages are subject to certain deductibles, limits or sub-limits and policy terms and conditions.
We also maintain excess liability insurance coverage above the established primary limits for
commercial general liability and automobile liability insurance. Limits, terms, conditions and
deductibles are commensurate with the nature and scope of our operations. The cost of our general
insurance coverages has increased over the past year reflecting the changing conditions of the
insurance markets. These insurance policies, except for the pollution liability policies, are
through EPCO (see Note 17).
NOTE 19. CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK
Our primary market areas are located in the Northeast, Midwest and Southwest regions of the
United States. We have a concentration of trade receivable balances due from major integrated oil
companies, independent oil companies and other pipelines and wholesalers. These concentrations of
customers may affect our overall credit risk in that the customers may be similarly affected by
changes in economic, regulatory or other factors. We thoroughly analyze our customers historical
and future credit positions prior to extending credit. We manage our exposure to credit risk
through credit analysis, credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures, and for certain
transactions may utilize letters of credit, prepayments and guarantees.
For the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, Valero Energy Corp. accounted for 14%,
14% and 16%, respectively, of our total consolidated revenues, and for the year ended December 31,
2006, BP Oil Supply Company accounted for 11% of our total consolidated revenues. No other single
customer accounted for 10% or more of our total consolidated revenues for the years ended December
31, 2006, 2005 and 2004.

NOTE 21. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
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.
On February 28, 2007, due to the substantial completion of inquires by the FTC into EPCOs
acquisition of us, the parties to the ASA amended it to remove Exhibit B thereto, which had been
adopted to address matters the parties anticipated the FTC may consider in its inquiry. Exhibit B
had set forth certain separateness and screening policies and procedures among the parties that
became inapposite upon the issuance of the FTCs order in connection with the inquiry or were
already otherwise reflected in applicable FTC, SEC, NYSE or other laws, standards or governmental
regulations. For further discussion of the FTC investigation, please see Note 18.
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
60
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
for a total of approximately $157.2 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 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 $59.8 million and $13.2 million related to
the sale of our equity interests and other related assets of TE Products, respectively.
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.
Junior Subordinated Notes
In May 2007, TEPPCO issued and sold $300.0 million in principal amount of fixed/floating,
unsecured, long-term subordinated notes due June 1, 2067 (Junior Subordinated Notes). TEPPCO
used the proceeds from this subordinated debt to temporarily reduce borrowings outstanding under
its Revolving Credit Facility and for general partnership purposes. TEPPCOs payment obligations
under the Junior Subordinated Notes are subordinated to all of its 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 or, premium, if any, and interest on the Junior
Subordinated Notes.
The indenture governing the Junior Subordinated Notes allows TEPPCO to defer interest payments
on one or more occasions for up to ten consecutive years, subject to certain conditions. The
indenture agreement also provides that during any period in which TEPPCO defers interest payments
on the Junior Subordinated Notes, subject to certain exceptions, (i) TEPPCO cannot declare or make
any distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase or make a liquidation payment with respect
to, any of its equity securities; (ii) neither TEPPCO nor the Subsidiary Guarantors will make, and
TEPPCO and the Subsidiary Guarantors will cause their respective majority-owned subsidiaries not to
make, any payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, on or repay, purchase or redeem any of
its 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 TEPPCO nor the Subsidiary Guarantors will make,
and TEPPCO and the Subsidiary Guarantors will cause their 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 will bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 7.0% 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 the certain provisions. Deferred interest will bear 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 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 2017 in whole (but not in part) upon the occurrence of certain tax or rating agency
events at specified redemption prices.
61
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
In connection with the issuance of the Junior Subordinated Notes, TEPPCO and its Subsidiary
Guarantors entered into a Replacement Capital Covenant in favor of holders of a designated series
of senior long-term indebtedness (as defined in the underlying documents) pursuant to which TEPPCO
and its 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, TEPPCO has or one of its
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.
Treasury Locks
In February 2007, TEPPCO executed a series of treasury rate lock agreements that extended
through June 2007 for a notional amount totaling $100.0 million. These agreements, which were
derivative instruments, were designated as cash flow hedges to offset TEPPCOs exposure to
increases in the underlying U.S. Treasury benchmark rate that was used to establish the fixed
interest rate for Junior Subordinated Notes that TEPPCO issued in May 2007. In May 2007, these
treasury locks, including the treasury locks for a notional amount of $200.0 million TEPPCO entered
into in October 2006 (see Note 6), were terminated concurrent with the issuance of the Junior
Subordinated Notes. The termination of the treasury locks resulted in gains of $1.4 million.
These gains will be deferred as adjustments to the carrying value of the Junior Subordinated Notes
and will be 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. In the event of
early extinguishment of the Junior Subordinate Notes, any remaining unamortized gains would be
recognized in the consolidated statement of income at the time of extinguishment.
Centennial Debt Guarantee
In May 2007, provisions of Centennials credit facility were amended. 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 credit facility 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 $9.2 million, which represents the present value of the estimated amount TEPPCO would
have to pay under the guarantee.

TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC (the Company), is a Delaware limited liability
company whose membership interests are owned, as of March 31, 2007, by DFI GP Holdings L.P.
(DFI), an affiliate of EPCO, Inc. (EPCO), a privately held company controlled by Dan L. Duncan.
Mr. Duncan and his affiliates, including EPCO, DFI and Dan Duncan LLC, privately held companies
controlled by him, control us and Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (Enterprise) and its
affiliates, including Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. and Duncan Energy Partners L.P. Our executive
officers are employees of EPCO, and the other personnel working on behalf of TEPPCO Partners, L.P.
(TEPPCO) also are employees of EPCO. Our sole member, which was DFI as of March 31, 2007,
appoints our directors. Under an amended and restated administrative services agreement (ASA),
EPCO performs all management, administrative and operating functions required for us and our
subsidiaries, and we reimburse EPCO for all direct and indirect expenses that have been incurred in
managing us and our subsidiaries. See Note 16 for information regarding the transfer of our
members interest.
As used in this Report, we, us, our, and the Company mean Texas Eastern Products
Pipeline Company, LLC, and where the context requires, include our subsidiaries and their business
and operations. References to the Parent Company are intended to mean and include Texas Eastern
Products Pipeline Company, LLC, in its individual capacity, and not on a consolidated basis.
We own a 2% general partner interest in TEPPCO and act as the managing general partner of
TEPPCO. TEPPCO, a Delaware limited partnership, is a master limited partnership formed in March
1990, and its limited partner units (Units) are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
under the ticker symbol TPP. TEPPCO operates through TE Products Pipeline Company, Limited
Partnership (TE Products), TCTM, L.P. (TCTM) and TEPPCO Midstream Companies, L.P. (TEPPCO
Midstream). Collectively, TE Products, TCTM and TEPPCO Midstream are referred to as the
Operating Partnerships. We have the right to receive the incentive distribution rights
associated with our general partner interest in TEPPCO. Together with other affiliates of Mr.
Duncan, we also collectively own 16,691,550 Units of TEPPCO.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
In accordance with our adoption of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) 04-5, Determining
Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or
Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights, beginning January 1, 2006, we
consolidated our interests in TEPPCO into our financial statements.
We own a 2% general partner interest in TEPPCO, which conducts substantially all of our
business. We have no independent operations and no material assets outside those of TEPPCO. The
number of reconciling items between our consolidated balance sheet and that of TEPPCO are few. The
most significant difference is that relating to minority interest ownership in our net assets by
the limited partners of TEPPCO, and the elimination of our investment in TEPPCO with our underlying
partners capital account in TEPPCO (see Note 10 for additional information regarding minority
interest ownership in our consolidated subsidiaries).
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 March 31, 2007, and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods
presented. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2007, are not
necessarily indicative of results of our operations for the full year 2007.

TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
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.
Dollar Amounts
Except 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.
Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes is applicable to our state tax obligations under the Texas Margin
Tax enacted in May 2006. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recorded a $0.7 million
current tax liability and a $0.6 million reduction to deferred tax liability. The offsetting net
charge consisting of a reduction to deferred tax expense of $0.6 million and an increase in current
income tax expense of $0.7 million is shown on our statement of consolidated income for the three
months ended March 31, 2007 as provision for income taxes.
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, L.P. (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, 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
6
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
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 statement of consolidated income by approximately $385.0 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2007. 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
for the three months ended March 31, 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 2. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS
In June 2006, the 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

(Unaudited)
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.
NOTE 3. 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 participants
salary, age and service. We used a December 31 measurement date for this plan.
On May 27, 2005, the TEPPCO RCBP was amended. 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
8
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
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. Additional settlement charges will be recorded as the distribution of assets are
made to plan participants. At March 31, 2007, $0.4 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 4. 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 three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we recognized reductions
in interest expense of $0.3 million and $0.7 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 March 31, 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 $2.0 million and $2.6 million
at March 31, 2007, and December 31, 2006, respectively.
During 2002, TEPPCO entered into interest rate swap agreements, designated as fair value
hedges, to hedge its exposure to changes in the fair value of its 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 Senior Notes. Under the swap agreements, TEPPCO 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 Senior Notes and are being amortized using the effective interest
method as reductions to future interest expense over the remaining term of the Senior Notes. At
March 31, 2007, the unamortized balance of the deferred gains was $26.8 million. In the event of
early extinguishment of the Senior Notes, any remaining unamortized gains would be recognized in
the statement of consolidated income at the time of extinguishment.
On January 20, 2006, TEPPCO entered into interest rate swap agreements with a total notional
amount of $200.0 million to hedge its exposure to increases in the benchmark interest rate
underlying its variable rate revolving credit facility. These interest rate swaps mature in
January 2008. Under the swap agreements, TEPPCO
pays a fixed rate of interest ranging from 4.67% to 4.695% and receives 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 March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the fair values of these interest
rate swaps were assets of $1.1 million and $1.4 million, respectively.
In October 2006 and February 2007, TEPPCO executed a series of treasury rate lock agreements
that extend through June 2007 for a notional amount totaling $300.0 million. These agreements,
which are derivative
9
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
instruments, have been designated as cash flow hedges to offset its 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 TEPPCO expects to incur in 2007. The weighted
average rate under the treasury lock agreements was approximately 4.6%. The actual coupon rate of
the expected debt issuance will be comprised of the underlying U.S. Treasury benchmark rate, plus a
credit spread premium for its debt security. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the fair
values of these treasury locks were assets of $0.2 million and less than $0.1 million,
respectively. To the extent effective, gains and losses on the value of the treasury locks will be
deferred until the forecasted debt is issued and will be amortized to earnings over the life of the
debt. No ineffectiveness was required to be recorded as of March 31, 2007.

NOTE 6. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES
Seaway
Through one of our indirect wholly owned subsidiaries, we own a 50% ownership interest in
Seaway Crude Pipeline Company (Seaway). The remaining 50% interest is owned by ConocoPhillips.
We operate the
Seaway assets. Seaway owns pipelines that carry mostly imported 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. The
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 three months ended
March 31, 2007 and 2006, we received distributions from Seaway of $3.8 million and $8.5 million,
respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we did not invest any
additional funds in Seaway.

Centennial
TE Products owns a 50% ownership interest in Centennial Pipeline LLC (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 three months ended March 31, 2007, TE Products contributed $6.1 million to
Centennial for contractual obligations that were created upon formation of Centennial. During the
three months ended March 31, 2006, TE Products did not invest any additional funds in 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 Mont Belvieu
Storage Partners, L.P. (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 7). 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 Storages income before depreciation expense, as
defined in the Agreement of Limited Partnership of MB Storage. Any amount of MB Storages 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 three months ended March 31, 2006, TE
Products sharing ratio in the earnings of MB Storage was approximately 55.9% and 57.9%,
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 three months ended March 31, 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 Gas Gathering Company (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, is scheduled to be completed in mid-2007. The second portion of the
expansion is expected to be completed by the end of 2007. 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 March 31, 2007, we have reimbursed
Enterprise $139.3 million for 50% of the Phase V cost incurred by it (including its cost of capital
of $1.3 million). At March 31, 2007, we had a payable to Enterprise for costs incurred of $14.9
million. During November 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 March 31, 2007, our ownership interest in Jonah was 82.7%, and for the
three months ended March 31, 2007, our sharing ratio in the earnings of Jonah was 95.2%. During
the three months ended March 31, 2007, we received distributions from Jonah of $26.1 million, which
included $11.6 million of distributions declared in 2006 and paid during the first quarter of 2007.
During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we contributed $30.9 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 Audit, Conflicts and Governance
Committee of our Board of Directors (ACG Committee).

NOTE 7. DISPOSITIONS AND DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
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 $157.2 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 $59.8 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.

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 Jonahs 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 our 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.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired and is
presented on the consolidated balance sheets net of accumulated amortization. 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 March 31, 2007 and
December 31, 2006, by business segment:

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.

(Unaudited)
Amortization expense on intangible assets was $5.9 million and $8.0
million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Amortization expense on
excess investments included in equity earnings was $0.8 million and $0.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 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 Jonahs 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.

estimated amortization expense allocated to equity earnings for the years ending December 31:

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 March 31,
2007 as long-term. With respect to the 6.45% TE Products Senior Notes due in January 2008,
TEPPCO has the ability to use available credit capacity under its Revolving Credit Facility
to fund the repayment of these Senior Notes. |
Revolving Credit Facility
TEPPCO has 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.
TEPPCO 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 TEPPCOs request, subject to lender approval and
the satisfaction of certain other conditions. The interest rate is based, at TEPPCOs option, on
either the lenders 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 TEPPCO 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 TEPPCOs ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make
certain distributions, 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 TEPPCOs Consolidated Total
Capitalization (as defined therein). At March 31, 2007, TEPPCO had $399.5 million outstanding
under the Revolving Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 5.94%. At March 31,
2007, TEPPCO was 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

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 TE Products ability to incur additional indebtedness. At March 31, 2007,
TE Products was in compliance with the covenants of the TE Products Senior Notes.
On February 20, 2002, TEPPCO issued $500.0 million principal amount of 7.625% Senior Notes due
2012 (7.625% TEPPCO Senior Notes). The 7.625% TEPPCO 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 7.625%
TEPPCO Senior Notes may be redeemed at any time at TEPPCOs 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 the 7.625% TEPPCO
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 TEPPCOs ability to incur additional indebtedness. At March 31, 2007, TEPPCO was in
compliance with the covenants of the 7.625% TEPPCO Senior Notes.
On January 30, 2003, TEPPCO issued $200.0 million principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes due
2013 (6.125% TEPPCO Senior Notes). The 6.125% TEPPCO 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 6.125%
TEPPCO Senior Notes may be redeemed at any time at TEPPCOs 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 the 6.125% TEPPCO

TEPPCO has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge its exposure to changes in the
fair value on a portion of the Senior Notes discussed above (see Note 4). In May 2007, TEPPCO
issued junior subordinated notes (see Note 16 for further information).
Letter of Credit
At March 31, 2007, TEPPCO had outstanding a $9.1 million standby letter of credit in
connection with crude oil purchased during the first quarter of 2007. The payable related to these
purchases of crude oil is expected to be paid during the second quarter of 2007.
NOTE 10. MINORITY INTEREST
Minority interest represents third-party ownership interests, including those of TEPPCOs
public unitholders, in the net assets of TEPPCO through TEPPCOs publicly traded Units. The Parent
Company owns a 2% general partner interest in TEPPCO. For financial reporting purposes, the assets
and liabilities of TEPPCO are consolidated with those of our own, with any third-party investors
interest in our consolidated balance amounts shown as minority interest. Minority interest expense
reflects the allocation of earnings to third-party investors. Distributions to and contributions
from minority interests represent cash payments and cash contributions, respectively, from such
third-party investors.
The following table shows the activity for minority interest for the three months ended March
31, 2007:

NOTE 11. MEMBERS EQUITY (DEFICIT)
At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, members equity (deficit) consisted of our capital
account and accumulated other comprehensive income.

TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Members Equity (Deficit)
At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we had deficit balances of $75.2 million and $86.0
million, respectively, in our members equity account. These negative balances do not represent
assets to us and do not represent obligations of our member to contribute cash or other property to
us. The members equity account generally consists of our members cumulative share of our net
income less cash distributions made to it plus capital contributions that it has made to us. Cash
distributions that we receive during a period from TEPPCO may exceed our share of its net income
for the period. In turn, cash distributions we make to DFI during a period may exceed our net
income for the period. TEPPCO makes quarterly cash distributions of all of its Available Cash,
generally defined as consolidated cash receipts less consolidated cash disbursements and cash
reserves established by the Parent Company in its reasonable discretion (these cash distributions
paid to the Parent Company are eliminated upon consolidation of the Parent Companys financial
statements with TEPPCOs financial statements). Cash distributions by us to our member in excess
of our net income during previous periods resulted in deficits in the members equity account at
March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006. Future cash distributions that exceed net income will result
in an increase in the deficit balance in the members equity account.
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 three months ended March 31, 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 crude oil
hedges mature in 2007. 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 TEPPCOs variable rate revolving credit facility and are designated as cash
flow hedges beginning in the third quarter of 2006.
The accumulated balance of other comprehensive income related to our cash flow hedges and
unrecognized losses associated with our pension benefits is as follows:

NOTE 12. 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 |
20
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
|
|
|
Our Midstream Segment, which is engaged in the gathering of natural gas,
fractionation of NGLs and transportation of NGLs. |
The amounts indicated below as Other relate primarily to Parent Company financial
statements, 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 7), and in Centennial (see Note 6).
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 6). Seaway consists of
large diameter pipelines that transport crude oil from Seaways 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 6). 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 Enterprises 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 ended March 31, 2006.

Effective April 1, 2006, we adopted EITF 04-13, which resulted in the netting of
certain sales and purchases of petroleum products transactions. The three months ended
March 31, 2006 was not adjusted for the adoption of EITF 04-13, as retroactive restatement
was not permitted, which impacts comparability. |

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 Jonahs 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 our 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 March, 31, 2007, we have reimbursed Enterprise $139.3 million for 50% of the
Phase V cost incurred by it (including its cost of capital of $1.3 million). At March 31, 2007, we
had a payable to Enterprise for costs incurred of $14.9 million (see Note 6). At March 31, 2007,
we had a receivable from Jonah of $9.5 million for payroll and related 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, Jonahs 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.
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 7).
NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation
In the fall of 1999, the Parent Company 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
25
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
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. It is uncertain whether the plaintiffs will appeal. Consequently, we do not believe
that the outcome of these remaining claims will 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 TEPPCOs other unitholders, and derivatively on TEPPCOs
behalf, concerning proposals made to its unitholders in its definitive proxy statement filed with
the SEC on September 11, 2006 (Proxy Statement) and other transactions involving us and
Enterprise or its affiliates. The complaint names as defendants the Parent Company; our Board of
Directors; the Parent Companys parent companies, including EPCO; Enterprise and certain of its
affiliates; and Dan L. Duncan. TEPPCO is named as a nominal defendant.
The complaint alleges, among other things, that certain of the transactions proposed in the
Proxy Statement, including a proposal to reduce the Parent Companys maximum percentage interest in
TEPPCOs
distributions in exchange for Limited Partner Units (the Issuance Proposal), are unfair to
its unitholders and constitute a breach by the defendants of fiduciary duties owed to its
unitholders and that the Proxy Statement failed to provide its unitholders with all material facts
necessary for them to make an informed decision whether to vote in favor of or against the
proposals. The complaint further alleges that, since Mr. Duncan acquired control of us in 2005,
the
26
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
defendants, in breach of their fiduciary duties to TEPPCO and its unitholders, have caused
TEPPCO to enter into certain transactions with Enterprise or its affiliates that are unfair to
TEPPCO or otherwise unfairly favored Enterprise or its affiliates over TEPPCO. The complaint
alleges that such transactions include the Jonah joint venture entered into by TEPPCO 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 TEPPCO to an Enterprise affiliate of the Pioneer plant in March 2006 and the impending
divestiture of its interest in MB Storage in connection with an investigation by the FTC. As more
fully described in the Proxy Statement, the ACG Committee recommended the Issuance Proposal for
approval by our Board of Directors. The 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 their relationships with Mr. Duncan.
The complaint seeks relief (i) rescinding transactions in the complaint that have been
consummated or awarding rescissory damages in respect thereof, including the divestiture of our
interest in MB Storage; (ii) awarding damages for profits and special benefits allegedly obtained
by defendants as a result of the alleged wrongdoings in the complaint; and (iii) awarding plaintiff
costs of the action, including fees and expenses of his attorneys and experts.
On September 22, 2006, the plaintiff in the action filed a motion to expedite the proceedings,
requesting the Court to schedule a hearing on plaintiffs motion for a preliminary injunction to
enjoin the defendants from proceeding with the special meeting of unitholders. On September 26,
2006, the defendants advised the Court that TEPPCO would provide to its unitholders specified
supplemental disclosures, which were included in the Form 8-K and supplemental proxy materials
TEPPCO filed with the SEC on October 5, 2006. The special meeting was convened on December 8,
2006, at which TEPPCO unitholders approved all of the proposals. In light of the foregoing, we
believe that the plaintiffs grounds for seeking relief by requiring TEPPCO to issue a proxy
statement that corrects the alleged misstatements and omissions in the Proxy Statement and
enjoining the special meeting are moot. On November 17, 2006, the defendants (other than TEPPCO,
the nominal defendant) moved to dismiss the complaint. 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.
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,
27
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
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 March 31, 2007 and December
31, 2006, we have an accrued liability of $1.9 million and $1.8 million, respectively, related to
sites requiring environmental remediation activities.
In 1994, the LDEQ issued a compliance order for environmental contamination at our Arcadia,
Louisiana, facility. In 1999, our Arcadia facility and adjacent terminals were directed by the
Remediation Services Division of the LDEQ to pursue remediation of this 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
March 31, 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
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 completion of our obligations relating to 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
28
TEXAS EASTERN PRODUCTS PIPELINE COMPANY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
(Unaudited)
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 FERCs 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 FERCs 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
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.

Centennial entered into credit facilities totaling $150.0 million, and as of March 31, 2007,
$150.0 million was outstanding under those credit facilities, of which $10.0 million matured and
was repaid in April 2007, and $140.0 million has a final maturity in April 2024. TE Products and
Marathon have each guaranteed one-half of the repayment of Centennials 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 $75.0
million each at March 31, 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. It is not projected that these metrics will be achieved, and we expect to amend the
provisions of the Centennial debt agreements in the second quarter of 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 $0.1 million, which represents the present value of the estimated amount
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 $4.4 million obligation, which represents the present value of the estimated amount that
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 TCOs 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 Parent Company was acquired from Duke Energy Field Services, LLC by
DFI. On March 11, 2005, the Bureau of Competition of the FTC delivered written notice to DFIs
legal advisor that it was conducting a non-public investigation to determine whether DFIs
acquisition of the Parent Company may substantially lessen competition or violate other provisions
of federal antitrust laws. We have 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 TEPPCOs 50% interest in MB Storage 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 TEPPCO
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 interest in MB Storage and certain related pipelines, and
we closed on such sale on March 1, 2007 (see Note 7).

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 Motivas 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 Motivas 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 $240.0 million,
including $20.0 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 16. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On May 7, 2007, all of the member interests in the Parent Company, together with 4,400,000 of
TEPPCOs Units, were sold by affiliates of EPCO, Inc. to Enterprise GP Holdings Inc., a publicly
traded partnership also controlled indirectly by EPCO, Inc.
Junior Subordinated Notes
In May 2007, TEPPCO issued and sold $300.0 million in principal amount of fixed/floating,
unsecured, long-term subordinated notes due June 1, 2067 (Junior Subordinated Notes). TEPPCO
used the proceeds from this subordinated debt to temporarily reduce borrowings outstanding under
its Revolving Credit Facility and for general partnership purposes. TEPPCOs payment obligations
under the Junior Subordinated Notes are subordinated to all of its 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 or, premium, if any, and interest on the Junior
Subordinated Notes.
The indenture governing the Junior Subordinated Notes allows TEPPCO to defer interest payments
on one or more occasions for up to ten consecutive years, subject to certain conditions. The
indenture agreement also provides that during any period in which TEPPCO defers interest payments
on the Junior Subordinated Notes, subject to certain exceptions, (i) TEPPCO cannot declare or make
any distributions with respect to, or redeem, purchase or make a liquidation payment with respect
to, any of its equity securities; (ii) neither TEPPCO nor the Subsidiary Guarantors will make, and
TEPPCO and the Subsidiary Guarantors will cause their respective majority-owned subsidiaries not to
make, any payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, on or repay, purchase or redeem any of
its 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 TEPPCO nor the Subsidiary Guarantors will make,
and TEPPCO and the Subsidiary Guarantors will cause their 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 will bear interest at a fixed annual rate of 7.0% 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 the certain provisions. Deferred interest will bear 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 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 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, TEPPCO and its Subsidiary
Guarantors entered into a Replacement Capital Covenant in favor of holders of a designated series
of senior long-term indebtedness (as defined in the underlying documents) pursuant to which TEPPCO
and its 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,

(Unaudited)
during the 180 days prior
to the date of that redemption, repurchase, defeasance or purchase, TEPPCO has or one of its
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.
Treasury Locks
In May 2007, TEPPCOs treasury locks for a notional amount of $300.0 million (see Note 6),
were terminated concurrent with the issuance of the Junior Subordinated Notes. The termination of
the treasury locks resulted in gains of $1.4 million. These gains will be deferred as adjustments
to the carrying value of the Junior Subordinated Notes and will be 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. In the event of early extinguishment of the Junior
Subordinate Notes, any remaining unamortized gains would be recognized in the consolidated
statement of income at the time of extinguishment.
Centennial Debt Guarantee
In May 2007, provisions of Centennials credit facility were amended. 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 credit facility 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 $9.2 million, which represents the present value of the estimated amount TEPPCO would
have to pay under the guarantee.

(With Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Thereon)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Partners of
Jonah Gas Gathering Company:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Jonah Gas Gathering Company and
Subsidiary (the Partnership) as of December 31, 2006, and the related statement of
consolidated income, consolidated cash flows and consolidated partners
capital for the year ended December 31, 2006. These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnerships management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its
internal control over financial reporting. Our audit included consideration of internal control
over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the
Companys internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An
audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of Jonah Gas Gathering Company and subsidiary as of December 31,
2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31,
2006, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

JONAH GAS GATHERING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1. Organization
Jonah Gas Gathering Company (Jonah), a Wyoming general partnership, owns a 643 mile natural
gas gathering system known as the Jonah Gas Gathering System in the Green River Basin of
southwestern Wyoming. Jonah has life of lease agreements with natural gas producers in the Jonah
and Pinedale fields to provide gathering services to the producers. As used in these financial
statements, we, us, or Jonah are intended to mean Jonah Gas Gathering Company and, where the
context requires, include our subsidiary.
The Jonah Gas Gathering System was originally constructed in 1992. Prior to June 1, 2000,
Jonah was a subsidiary of McMurry Oil Company. On June 1, 2000, in connection with Alberta Energy
Companys (AEC) purchase of McMurry Oil Company, AEC acquired all of the outstanding partnership
interests in Jonah for cash consideration and the assumption of debt, for an aggregate cost of
approximately $208.0 million.
On September 30, 2001, TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (TEPPCO), a publicly traded Delaware limited
partnership, through it affiliates, TEPPCO GP, Inc. (TEPPCO GP) and TEPPCO Midstream Companies,
L.P. (TEPPCO Midstream), purchased Jonah from AEC for $360.0 million. TEPPCO Midstream is owned
99.999% by TEPPCO and 0.001% by TEPPCO GP as its general partner. TEPPCO GP is wholly owned by
TEPPCO. TEPPCO Midstream owned a 99.999% interest in Jonah and TEPPCO GP owned a 0.001%
interest in Jonah. Duke Energy Field Services, LLC (DEFS) managed and operated the Jonah assets
for TEPPCO under a contractual agreement. TEPPCOs general partner was an indirect wholly owned
subsidiary of DEFS, a joint venture between Duke Energy Corporation and ConocoPhillips.
On February 24, 2005, TEPPCOs general partner was acquired by DFI GP Holdings L.P., an
affiliate of EPCO, Inc. (EPCO), a privately held company controlled by Dan L. Duncan. Mr. Duncan
and his affiliates, including EPCO, Dan Duncan LLC and privately held companies controlled by him,
control TEPPCO and its general partner. In conjunction with an amended and restated administrative
services agreement, EPCO performs all management, administrative and operating functions required
for TEPPCO, including us, and TEPPCO reimburses EPCO for all direct and indirect expenses that have
been incurred in its management. TEPPCO assumed the operations of Jonah from DEFS, and certain
employees of DEFS became employees of EPCO effective June 1, 2005. On August 18, 2005, TEPPCO
formed Jonah Gas Marketing, LLC (JGM) a Delaware limited liability company, to conduct marketing
activities for Jonah. TEPPCO Midstream was the sole member of JGM.
Since TEPPCOs acquisition of Jonah in 2001, the pipeline capacity and processing capacity of
the Jonah system has been expanded as follows:
|
|
|
The Phase I expansion was completed in May 2002, at a cost of approximately
$25.0 million and increased system capacity by 62%, from approximately 450 million
cubic feet per day (MMcf/d) to approximately 730 MMcf/d. |
|
|
|
|
In October 2002, the Phase II expansion project was completed at a cost of
approximately $35.3 million, which increased the capacity of the Jonah system from
730 MMcf/d to approximately 880 MMcf/d. |
|
|
|
|
In 2003, the Jonah system was again expanded by the Phase III project to include
an 80-mile pipeline loop and 3,700 horsepower of new compression on the system and
the building of a new 300 MMcf/d gas processing plant near Opal, Wyoming. Phase
III was substantially completed during the fourth quarter of 2003, with system
capacity increasing to 1,180 MMcf/d at a cost of approximately $53.4 million. This
gas processing plant was sold to Enterprise Products Partners L.P. on March 31,
2006 (see Note 7). |
|
|
|
|
Additional capacity of 100 MMcf/d was completed during the fourth quarter of
2004, at a cost of approximately $13.0 million. |
6
JONAH GAS GATHERING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
|
|
|
|
The Phase IV expansion project was completed in February 2006, at a cost of
approximately $116.0 million and increased system capacity to 1.5 billion cubic
feet per day (Bcf/d) with the addition of 33,000 horsepower of compression and
approximately 50 miles of pipeline. |
Formation of Joint Venture
In order to fund further expansion of the Jonah system, on August 1, 2006, TEPPCO GP and
TEPPCO Midstream entered into an Amended and Restated Partnership Agreement of Jonah Gas Gathering
Company (the Partnership Agreement) with Enterprise Gas Processing, LLC (EGP), an affiliate of
Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (Enterprise Products). Enterprise Products is a publicly
traded Delaware limited partnership, and an affiliate of DFI GP Holdings L.P., which is the sole
member of TEPPCOs general partner. Under the Partnership Agreement, EGP was admitted as a new
partner in exchange for funding a portion of the costs related to an expansion of the Jonah system.
On August 1, 2006, in connection with the admission of EGP into the Jonah partnership, TEPPCO
Midstream acquired the Jonah partnership interest previously owned by TEPPCO GP and contributed all
of its interest in JGM to Jonah. Effective August 1, 2006, Jonah owns all of the outstanding
membership interests in JGM, and TEPPCO Midstream holds all of the partnership interest in Jonah
that was previously held by TEPPCO GP.
Through the joint venture with EGP, a Phase V expansion project is expected to increase the
system capacity of the Jonah system from 1.5 Bcf/d to approximately 2.3 Bcf/d and to significantly
reduce system operating pressures. The expansion project is segmented into two parts. The first
part of the expansion, which is expected to increase the system gathering capacity to approximately
2.0 Bcf/d, is scheduled to be completed in the second quarter of 2007. The pipeline looping
portion of the first part of the expansion, which included the addition of 75 miles of 36-inch
diameter pipe and 12 miles of 24-inch diameter pipe, was completed in December 2006. The second
part of the expansion is expected to be completed by the end of 2007. The anticipated cost of the
Phase V expansion will be approximately $444.0 million.
Jonah is governed by a management committee comprised of two representatives approved by
Enterprise Products and two representatives approved by TEPPCO, each with equal voting power. EGP
is the operator of the Jonah assets. Based upon a formula in the partnership agreement that takes
into account the capital contributions of the parties to fund the Phase V expansion project
discussed below, as well as certain capital expenditures made by TEPPCO not related to the
expansion project, TEPPCO expects to own an interest in Jonah of approximately 80%, with EGP owning
the remaining 20%.
Under a letter of intent TEPPCO entered into in February 2006, Enterprise Products assumed the
management of the Phase V expansion project and funded the initial costs of the expansion.
Beginning with the August 1, 2006 formation of the Jonah joint venture, TEPPCO reimbursed
Enterprise Products for 50% of the expansion costs it had previously advanced, and TEPPCO and
Enterprise began sharing the costs of the expansion equally. TEPPCO is expected to reimburse
Enterprise Products for approximately 50% of the Phase V expansion costs. To the extent the costs
exceed an agreed upon base cost estimate of $415.2 million, TEPPCO and Enterprise will each pay
their respective ownership share (approximately 80% and 20%, respectively) of such costs.
In that regard, TEPPCO and Enterprise Products have been working with producers to finalize
the scope and design of the Phase V expansion to optimally serve the expected production needs in
both the Jonah and Pinedale fields. However, the overall high level of activity in the greater
Green River Basin area has strained locally available resources, which, coupled with rising steel costs, is likely to cause the
final cost of the expansion to exceed the original agreed upon estimate.
TEPPCO received all distributions from the joint venture until a specified milestone in the
Phase V expansion was achieved in November of 2006, at which point, EGP became entitled to receive
approximately 50%
7
JONAH GAS GATHERING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
of the incremental revenue from certain portions of the expansion project already
placed in service. Upon completion of the next specified milestone, EGP will begin to share in
revenues of the joint venture based upon the total amount of its capital contributions until, as
discussed above, final ownership in the joint venture will be approximately 80% TEPPCO and 20% EGP.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Our customers primarily consist of companies within the petroleum industry. We perform
ongoing credit evaluations of our customers and generally do not require material collateral. A
provision for losses on accounts receivable is established if it is determined that we will not
collect all or part of the outstanding balance. Collectibility is reviewed regularly, and an
allowance is established or adjusted, as necessary, using the specific identification method. As
of December 31, 2006, we had no provision for doubtful accounts.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations, (SFAS 143) including related interpretations such as Financial Accounting Standards
Board Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an
interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143 (FIN 47) addresses financial accounting and reporting
associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets and related asset retirement costs.
It requires entities to record the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation
(ARO) in the period in which it is incurred. When the liability is recorded, the entity
capitalizes the costs of the liability by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived
asset. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period, and the capitalized
cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Upon settlement of the liability,
an entity either settles the obligation for its recorded amount or incurs a gain or loss upon
settlement. SFAS 143 applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived
assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development, and normal operation of a
long-lived asset (see Note 6).
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The financial statements include our accounts on a consolidated basis. We have eliminated all
significant intercompany items in consolidation. Our results for the year ended December 31, 2006
reflect the operations and activities of our Pioneer plant as discontinued operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are defined as highly marketable investments with maturities of three months
or less when purchased. The carrying value of these cash equivalents approximate fair value
because of the short-term nature of these investments. Our Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows is
prepared using the indirect method.
Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date our financial statements are issued, which may
result in a loss to us but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail
to occur. Our management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, and such
assessment inherently involves an exercise in judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to
legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may
8
JONAH GAS GATHERING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
result in proceedings,
our legal counsel evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as
well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been
incurred and the amount of liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be
accrued in our financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss
contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated,
then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible
loss if determinable and material, is disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve
guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. At December 31, 2006, we had no
liabilities for loss contingencies.
Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States (GAAP) requires our management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect 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 these estimates.
Fair Value of Current Assets and Current Liabilities
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, inventories, other
current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and other current liabilities
approximates their fair value due to their short-term nature. The fair values of these financial
instruments are represented in our consolidated balance sheet.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired.
Goodwill amounts are assessed for impairment (i) on an annual basis during the fourth quarter of
each year or (ii) on an interim basis when impairment indicators are present. If such indicators
are present (e.g., loss of a significant customer, economic obsolescence of plant assets, etc.),
the fair value of the reporting unit to which the goodwill is assigned will be calculated and
compared to its book value.
If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its book value, the goodwill amount is not
considered to be impaired and no impairment charge is required. If the fair value of the reporting
unit is less than its book value, a charge to earnings is recorded to adjust the carrying value of
the goodwill to its implied fair value. We have not recognized any impairment losses related to
our goodwill for the period presented.
Income Taxes
We are a general partnership. As such, we are not a taxable entity for federal and state
income tax purposes and do not directly pay federal and state income tax. Our taxable income or
loss, which may vary substantially from the net income or net loss reported in the net income or
net loss reported in our statement of
income, is includable in the federal and state income tax returns of each partner.
Accordingly, no recognition has been given to federal or state income taxes for our operations.

JONAH GAS GATHERING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
Intangible Assets
Intangible assets consist of gathering contracts that dedicate future production from natural
gas wells in the Green River Basin in Wyoming. The value assigned to these intangible assets
relates to contracts with customers that are for either a fixed term or which dedicate total future
lease production to the gathering system. These intangible assets are amortized on a
unit-of-production basis, based upon the actual throughput of the system over the expected total
throughput for the lives of the contracts. Revisions to the unit-of-production estimates may occur
as additional production information is made available to us (see Note 4).
Natural Gas Imbalances
Gas imbalances occur when gas producers (customers) deliver more or less actual natural gas
volumes to our gathering system than they originally nominated. Actual deliveries are different
from nominated volumes due to fluctuations in gas production at the wellhead. If the customers
supply more natural gas volumes than they nominated, Jonah records a payable for the amount due to
customers and also records a receivable for the same amount due from connecting pipeline
transporters or shippers. If the customers supply less natural gas volumes than they nominated,
Jonah records a receivable reflecting the amount due from customers and a payable for the same
amount due to connecting pipeline transporters or shippers. We record these natural gas imbalances
using a mark-to-market approach.
Operating, General and Administrative Expenses
EPCO allocates operating, general and administrative expenses to us for administrative,
management, engineering and operating services based upon the estimated level of effort devoted to
our various operations. We believe that the method for allocating corporate operating, general and
administrative expenses is reasonable. Unless noted otherwise, our agreements with TEPPCO and EPCO
are not the result of arms 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.
Property, Plant and Equipment
We record property, plant and equipment at its acquisition cost. Additions to property, plant
and equipment, including major replacements or betterments, are recorded at cost. We charge
replacements and renewals of minor items of property that do not materially increase values or
extend useful lives to maintenance expense. Depreciation expense is computed on the straight-line
method using rates based upon expected useful lives of various classes of assets (ranging from 2%
to 20% per annum).
We evaluate impairment of long-lived assets in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment
whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not
be recoverable. Recoverability of the carrying amount of assets to be held and used is measured by
a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to estimated future net cash flows expected to be
generated by the asset. If such assets are considered to be impaired, the impairment to be
recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the
estimated fair value of the assets. Assets to be disposed of are reported at the lower of the
carrying amount or estimated fair value less costs to sell.
Revenue Recognition
Gathering revenues are recognized as natural gas is received from the customer. We generally
do not take title to the natural gas, except for the wellhead sale and purchase of natural gas to
facilitate system operations and to
10
JONAH GAS GATHERING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
provide a service to some of the producers on the system. The
Jonah system sells condensate liquid from the natural gas stream based on a contracted price based
generally on an index based crude oil price less a differential. In May 2006, we began to
aggregate purchases of wellhead gas on Jonah and re-sell the aggregate quantities at key Jonah
delivery points in order to facilitate operational needs and throughput on Jonah. The purchases
and sales are generally contracted to occur in the same month to minimize price risk. Revenues
associated with condensate sales are recognized when the product is sold.
Note 3. Recently Issued Accounting Standards
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 123(R)
(revised 2004), Share-Based Payment. SFAS 123(R) is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by SFAS No. 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
Transition and Disclosure and supersedes Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25,
Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. SFAS 123(R) requires that the cost resulting from all
share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements at fair value. SFAS
123(R) became effective for public companies for annual periods beginning after June 15, 2005.
Accordingly, we adopted SFAS 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006. We adopted SFAS 123(R) under the
modified prospective transition method. The adoption of SFAS 123(R) did not have a material effect
on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections. SFAS 154
establishes new standards on accounting for changes in accounting principles. All such changes
must be accounted for by retrospective application to the financial statements of prior periods
unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154 completely replaces APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting
Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Periods. However, it carries
forward the guidance in those pronouncements with respect to accounting for changes in estimates,
changes in the reporting entity and the correction of errors. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting
changes and error corrections made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005, with early
adoption permitted for changes and corrections made in years beginning after June 1, 2005. The
application of SFAS 154 does not affect the transition provisions of any existing pronouncements,
including those that are in the transition phase as of the effective date of SFAS 154. The
adoption of SFAS 154 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In September 2005, the EITF reached consensus in EITF 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and
Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty, to define when a purchase and a sale of inventory
with the same party that operates in the same line of business should be considered a single
nonmonetary transaction subject to APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions.
Two or more inventory transactions with the same party should be combined if they are entered into
in contemplation of one another. The EITF also requires entities to account for exchanges of
inventory in the same line of business at fair value or recorded amounts based on inventory
classification. The guidance in EITF 04-13 is effective for new inventory arrangements entered
into in reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006. We adopted EITF 04-13 on April 1, 2006.
The adoption of EITF 04-13 did not have a material effect on our financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.
In June 2006, the 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
11
JONAH GAS GATHERING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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 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 December 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 and cash
flows.
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, Considering the Effects
of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements
(SAB 108). SAB 108 addresses how the effects of prior-year uncorrected misstatements should be
considered when quantifying misstatements in current-year financial statements. The SAB requires
registrants to quantify misstatements using both balance-sheet and income-statement approaches and
to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying an error that is material in light of
relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. When the effect of initial adoption is determined
to be material, SAB 108 allows registrants to record that effect as a cumulative-effect adjustment
to beginning-of-year retained earnings. The requirements are effective for annual financial
statements covering the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006. Additionally, the nature
and amount of each individual error being corrected through the cumulative-effect adjustment, when
and how each error arose, and the fact that the errors had previously been considered immaterial is
required to be disclosed. We are required to adopt SAB 108 for our current fiscal year ending
December 31, 2006. The adoption of SAB 108 did 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 are currently evaluating the
impact of the adoption of SFAS 159 on our financial statements. We do not believe the adoption of SFAS
159 will have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 4. Goodwill and Intangible Assets
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 determined we have one reporting unit. We
determine the carrying value and the fair value of the reporting unit and compare them. We will
continue to compare the fair value of the 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. At December 31, 2006, the recorded value of goodwill was
$2.8 million.
Other Intangible Assets
At December 31, 2006, we had intangible assets (natural gas gathering contracts) with a gross
carrying amount of $222.8 million and accumulated amortization of $62.5 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
12
JONAH GAS GATHERING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
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 $9.8
million for the year ended December 31, 2006.
The values assigned to the intangible assets for natural gas gathering contracts are amortized
on a unit-of-production basis, based upon the actual throughput of the system compared to the
expected total throughput for the lives of the contracts. On a quarterly basis, 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 following table sets forth the estimated amortization expense of intangible assets for the
years ending December 31 (in thousands):

Note 5. Related Party Transactions
We have no employees. As a result of the change in ownership of TEPPCOs general partner on
February 24, 2005, EPCO assumed the management of us on June 1, 2005. Beginning June 1, 2005, in
conjunction with an amended and restated administrative services agreement (see Note 1), 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 our management. The expenses
associated with these management and operations services are reflected in costs and expenses in the
accompanying statements of income.
We sell natural gas relating to our natural gas marketing activities to our partners and their
affiliates. We also sell condensate liquid from the natural gas stream of the Jonah gas gathering
system to our partners and their affiliates.

We regularly review our long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with SFAS 144. We have
identified no long-lived assets that would require impairment as of December 31, 2006.
Asset Retirement Obligation
We have recorded a $0.2 million liability, which represents the fair value of conditional
asset retirement obligation related to the retirement of the natural gas gathering system. During
the third quarter of 2006, we assigned probabilities for settlement dates and settlement methods
for use in an expected present value measurement of fair value and recorded an asset retirement
obligation. The following table presents information regarding our asset retirement obligation (in

2011.
Note 7. Dispositions and 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 our rights to process natural gas
originating from the Jonah and Pinedale fields, located in southwest Wyoming, to an affiliate of
Enterprise Products for $38.0 million in cash. The Pioneer
15
JONAH GAS GATHERING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
plant was not an integral part of our
operations, and natural gas processing is not a core business. We have no continuing involvement
in the operations or results of this plant. This transaction was reviewed and recommended for
approval by the Audit and Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors of TEPPCOs General Partner
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.

Note 8. Debt Obligations
Prior to August 1, 2006, we utilized debt financing available from TEPPCO through intercompany
notes. The terms of the intercompany notes generally matched the principal and interest payment
dates under TEPPCOs credit agreement and senior notes. The interest rates charged by TEPPCO
included its stated interest rate, plus a
premium to cover debt issuance costs. The interest rate was also decreased or increased to
cover gains and losses, respectively, on any interest rate swaps that TEPPCO had in place on its
credit agreement and senior notes. TEPPCOs senior notes and revolving credit facility are
described below.
16
JONAH GAS GATHERING COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
On February 20, 2002, TEPPCO 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 7.625% Senior Notes may be redeemed at any time
at TEPPCOs 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 the 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 TEPPCOs ability to incur additional indebtedness.
On January 30, 2003, TEPPCO 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 6.125% Senior Notes may be redeemed at any time
at TEPPCOs 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 the 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 TEPPCOs ability to incur additional indebtedness.
On June 27, 2003, TEPPCO entered into a $550.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility
with a three-year term, including the issuance of letters of credit of up to $20.0 million
(Revolving Credit Facility). The interest rate is based, at TEPPCOs option, on either the
lenders base rate plus a spread, or LIBOR plus a spread in effect at the time of the borrowings.
The credit agreement for the Revolving Credit Facility contains certain restrictive financial
covenant ratios. Restrictive covenants in the Revolving Credit Facility limit TEPPCOs and its
subsidiaries ability to, among other things, incur additional indebtedness, make distributions in
excess of Available Cash and complete mergers, acquisitions and sales of assets. On October 21,
2004, TEPPCO amended the Revolving Credit Facility to (i) increase the facility size to $600.0
million, (ii) extend the term to October 21, 2009, (iii) remove certain restrictive covenants, (iv)
increase the available amount for the issuance of letters of credit up to $100.0 million and (v)
decrease the LIBOR rate spread charged at the time of each borrowing. On December 13, 2005, TEPPCO
amended its Revolving Credit Facility as follows:
|
|
|
Total bank commitments increased from $600.0 million to $700.0 million. The
amendment also provided that the commitments under the credit facility may be
increased up to a maximum of $850.0 million upon TEPPCOs request, subject to
lender approval and the satisfaction of certain other conditions. |
|
|
|
|
The facility fee and the borrowing rate currently in effect were reduced by
0.275%. |
|
|
|
|
The maturity date of the credit facility was extended from October 21, 2009, to
December 13, 2010. Also under the terms of the amendment, TEPPCO may request up to
two, one-year extensions of the maturity date. These extensions, if requested,
will become effective subject to lender approval and satisfaction of certain other
conditions. |
|
|
|
|
The amendment also removed the $100.0 million limit on the total amount of
standby letters of credit that can be outstanding under the credit facility. |
At December 31, 2006, TEPPCO had $490.0 million outstanding under its Revolving Credit

Note Payable, TEPPCO Midstream
Effective August 1, 2006, in connection with the formation of the joint venture with
Enterprise Products, amounts outstanding of $231.2 million under the intercompany notes payable to
TEPPCO Midstream were converted to capital contributions and reclassified as partners capital.
For the period from January 1, 2006 through July 31, 2006, interest costs incurred on the note
payable to TEPPCO Midstream totaled $8.4 million.
Note 9. Partners Capital and Distributions
Prior to August 1, 2006, we made 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 TEPPCO in its sole discretion. We paid distributions of 99.999% to
TEPPCO Midstream and 0.001% to TEPPCO GP.
Effective August 1, 2006, in connection with the formation of the joint venture between TEPPCO
and EGP, our partnership agreement was amended. We paid distributions 100% to TEPPCO until
specified milestones were met in the Phase V expansion in November 2006. At that point, EGP became
entitled to receive approximately 50% of the incremental cash flow from certain portions of the
expansion project already placed in service. Upon completion of the next specified milestone, EGP
will begin to share in the revenues of the joint venture based upon the total amount of its capital
contributions until, as discussed in Note 1, final ownership in the joint venture will be
approximately 80% TEPPCO and 20% EGP.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, cash distributions paid to TEPPCO Midstream totaled
$98.6 million. At December 31, 2006, we have a distribution payable of $11.5 million and $0.2
million to TEPPCO Midstream and EGP, respectively.
For the year ended December 31, 2006, we received contributions of $418.8 million and $116.9
million from TEPPCO Midstream and EGP, respectively. The contribution amounts include $243.7
million of non-cash contributions from TEPPCO Midstream and EGP related to the Phase V expansion.
The contribution from TEPPCO Midstream includes $231.2 million related to the transfer of the note
payable with TEPPCO Midstream to partners capital and $19.9 million for the related accrued
interest, which occurred upon formation of the joint venture with EGP on August 1, 2006.
Additionally, on August 1, 2006, the balance in our accounts payable, related parties of $20.9
million was transferred to partners capital as non-cash contributions.
Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved, from time to time, in various legal proceedings arising in the
ordinary course of business. While the ultimate results of these proceedings cannot be predicted
with certainty, management believes these claims will not have a material effect on the financial
position, results of operations or cash flows.
Contractual Obligations
We use leased assets in several areas of our operations. Total rental expense for the year
ended December 31, 2006, was $1.0 million. The following table sets forth our minimum rental
payments under our various operating leases for the years ending December 31 (in thousands):

We have short-term payment obligations relating to capital projects we have initiated. These
commitments represent unconditional payment obligations that we or our unconsolidated affiliates
have agreed to pay vendors for services rendered or products purchased. At December 31, 2006, we
had $0.2 million of short-term capital expenditure obligations.
Note 11. Employee Benefits
We were charged for employee benefits costs related to the TEPPCO Retirement Cash Balance Plan
(EPPCO RCBP) which was a noncontributory, trustee-administered pension plan, and TEPPCOs plans
for healthcare and life insurance benefits for retired employees, which were on a contributory and
noncontributory basis. Costs were allocated to us based on the level of effort provided by
employees. 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. For those plan participants who elected to receive an annuity, TEPPCO purchased an
annuity contract from an insurance company in which the plan participant owns the annuity,
absolving TEPPCO of any future obligation to the participant. 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.

ENTERPRISE GP HOLDINGS L.P.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Introduction
The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared to assist in the analysis of financial effects of the acquisition of certain partnership
interests and related rights in TEPPCO Partners, L.P. and Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company,
LLC, its general partner. The unaudited pro forma condensed statements of consolidated operations
for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 assume
that the acquisition of such interests and rights (as described beginning on page 10) all occurred
on January 1 of each period presented. The unaudited pro forma balance sheet shows the financial
effects of the acquisitions as if they had occurred on March 31, 2007.
Unless the context requires otherwise, references to Enterprise are intended to mean
Enterprise GP Holdings L.P. and its consolidated businesses and operations, which include those of
Enterprise Products Partners L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries (Enterprise Products
Partners). Since Enterprise owns the general partner of Enterprise Products Partners, the
financial statements of Enterprise Products Partners are consolidated with those of Enterprise GP
Holdings L.P. as the parent company.
References to TEPPCO are intended to mean TEPPCO Partners, L.P. and its consolidated
businesses and operations. References to TEPPCO GP are intended to mean Texas Eastern Products
Pipeline Company, LLC, which is the 2% general partner of TEPPCO. The financial statements of
TEPPCO are consolidated with those of TEPPCO GP.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of Enterprise should be
read in conjunction with and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the notes accompanying
such unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and with the historical
consolidated financial statements and related notes of Enterprise included in its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three
months ended March 31, 2007. The condensed consolidated financial statements of TEPPCO GP included
herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the historical consolidated financial
statements and related notes of TEPPCO GP and its consolidated subsidiaries included as Exhibits
99.1 and 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K/A.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are based on assumptions
that Enterprise believes are reasonable under the circumstances and are intended for informational
purposes only. They are not necessarily indicative of the financial results that would have
occurred if the transactions described herein had taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they
indicative of the future consolidated results of Enterprise.
The pro forma condensed financial statements of Enterprise reflect the acquisition of TEPPCO
GP after taking into consideration that, since February 2005, Enterprise and TEPPCO GP are
affiliates under common control of EPCO, Inc, which is the indirect parent of both entities. For
additional information regarding this method of presentation, see Basis of Presentation in the
Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

ENTERPRISE GP HOLDINGS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and underlying pro forma
adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions
made by the management of Enterprise; therefore, actual results could materially differ from the
pro forma information. However, Enterprise believes that the assumptions provide a reasonable
basis for presenting the significant effects of the transactions noted herein. Enterprise believes
that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly
applied in the pro forma information.
Basis of Presentation
On May 7, 2007, Enterprise entered into a securities purchase agreement with Duncan Family
Interests, Inc. (DFI) and DFI GP Holdings L.P. (DFIGP) pursuant to which (i) DFI contributed
to Enterprise 4,400,000 common units representing limited partner interests of TEPPCO and (ii)
DFIGP contributed 100% of the membership interests of TEPPCO GP. DFI and DFIGP are affiliates of
EPE Holdings, LLC, the general partner of Enterprise, and indirect subsidiaries of EPCO, Inc.
(EPCO). EPCO is Enterprises indirect parent and controlled by Dan L. Duncan, our chairman.
DFIGP acquired the membership interests in TEPPCO GP, including all related incentive
distribution rights (IDRs), and 2,500,000 common units of TEPPCO from a third party in February
2005 for approximately $1.2 billion in cash. In December 2006, certain of the IDRs held by TEPPCO
GP were converted into 14,091,275 common units of TEPPCO. Subsequently, DFIGP transferred the
14,091,275 common units of TEPPCO that it received in connection with the conversion of the IDRs to
affiliates of EPCO, including 13,386,711 common units transferred to DFI.
As presented in this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, the pro forma condensed financial
statements of Enterprise reflect the common control of Enterprise, DFI, DFIGP, TEPPCO GP and TEPPCO
by Mr. Duncan. Enterprises acquisition of ownership interests in TEPPCO GP and TEPPCO was
accounted for at historical cost as a reorganization of entities under common control in a manner
similar to a pooling of interests. As a result, the historical condensed consolidated financial
information of Enterprise is recast to include the financial information of TEPPCO GP and its
consolidated subsidiaries (primarily TEPPCO) since February 2005. This method of presentation will
aid the reader in understanding the financial effects of the combination of TEPPCO GP and its
consolidated subsidiaries with the historical financial information of Enterprise.
Pro Forma Adjustments
The pro forma adjustments made to the historical financial statements of Enterprise and TEPPCO
GP are described as follows:
(a) Reflects the consolidation of Jonah Gas Gathering Company (Jonah), which is a 50/50
owned joint venture between Enterprise Products Partners and TEPPCO that is accounted for using the
equity method by both owners. The pro forma adjustments add the accounts of Jonah and eliminate
related investment, equity income and related amounts recorded by Enterprise and TEPPCO.
(b) Reflects the elimination of revenues and expenses and receivables and payables between
Enterprise, TEPPCO and Jonah as appropriate in consolidation after the effects of Note (a) above.
7
(c) Reflects the elimination of gains allocated to Enterprise on related party asset sales
and purchases between TEPPCO and Enterprise Products Partners. Although Enterprise Products
Partners and TEPPCO are under common control, they have separate unitholders and commercial
management teams and act in their own best interests in the marketplace, including the acquisition
or disposition of fixed assets or businesses. The asset purchase and sale transactions are
summarized as follows:
|
|
|
In January 2007, TEPPCO sold a pipeline to Enterprise Products Partners and recognized
an aggregate gain on the sale of $5.5 million, of which $4.6 million was allocated to
minority interest in consolidation with TEPPCO GP. The pro forma adjustments remove that
portion of the gain allocable to Enterprise ($0.9 million) and reduce property, plant and
equipment and partners equity by an equal amount. |
|
|
|
|
In October 2006, TEPPCO sold a group of pipelines to Enterprise Products Partners and
recognized a gain on the sale of $5.7 million, of which $4.0 million was allocated to
minority interest in consolidation with TEPPCO GP. The pro forma adjustments remove that
portion of the gain allocable to Enterprise ($1.7 million) and reduce property, plant and
equipment and partners equity by an equal amount. |
|
|
|
|
In March 2006, TEPPCO sold a facility and related customer
contracts to Enterprise Products Partners. The pro forma adjustments
remove the portion of the sale related to intangible assets ($5.2
million), property, plant and equipment and partners equity. |
(d) Reflects pro forma reclassifications to conform the presentation of TEPPCO GPs
consolidated financial statements to Enterprises historical method of presentation. The
consolidation adjustments are as follows:
|
|
|
Investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates at March 31, 2007 for TEPPCO
GP increased $1.3 million due to the reclassification of accounts receivable and payable
amounts related to TEPPCOs equity investees. Enterprise Products Partners classifies
such receivable and payable amounts as part of investments in and advances to
unconsolidated affiliates on its balance sheet. |
|
|
|
|
TEPPCO GPs operating income increased as a result of reclassifying TEPPCOs equity
earnings from unconsolidated affiliates to a separate component of operating income to
conform to Enterprise Products Partners presentation of such equity earnings. As a
result of this reclassification, TEPPCO GPs operating income increased by $16.6 million,
$36.8 million and $20.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007, year ended
December 31, 2006 and year ended December 31, 2005, respectively. Enterprise Products
Partners equity investments with industry partners are a vital component of its business
strategy. Such equity investments are a means by which Enterprise conducts its operations
to align its interests with those of its customers and suppliers. This method of
operation enables Enterprise Products Partners to achieve favorable economies of scale
relative to the level of investment and business risk assumed versus what it could
accomplish on a stand-alone basis. Many of these equity investments perform supporting or
complementary roles to Enterprise Products Partners other business operations. TEPPCOs
relationship with its equity investees is similar in nature. |
(e) Reflects the elimination of TEPPCO GPs member capital account against Enterprises
partners equity as appropriate in the preparation of such pro forma financial statements. The
$75.2 million negative balance does not represent an obligation of Enterprise to TEPPCO or TEPPCO
GP nor does it represent an obligation of TEPPCO GP to contribute cash or other property to TEPPCO.
The TEPPCO GP capital account generally consists of its cumulative share of TEPPCOs net income
less cash distributions made by TEPPCO to TEPPCO GP plus capital contributions made by TEPPCO GP to
TEPPCO. The negative equity results from several periods in which the distributions paid exceeded
allocated net income.
8
(f) Reflects pro forma adjustments to minority interest for Enterprises assumed ownership of
TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP partnership interests and IDRs at amounts and levels similar to those acquired
on May 7, 2007. These pro forma adjustments are necessary since (i) the historical minority
interest of TEPPCO GP represents all of the limited partner interests of TEPPCO (including those
acquired by Enterprise in December 2006) and (ii) the historical income from continuing operations
of TEPPCO GP represents earnings derived from both its 2% general partner interest in TEPPCO and
all of the associated IDRs (a portion of which prior to December 2006 were deemed to be owned by
DFIGP and DFI). The purpose of the pro forma adjustments is to increase or decrease minority
interest so that Enterprises pro forma income from continuing operations reflects a comparable
level of earnings during the periods of ownership presented.
TEPPCO makes quarterly cash distributions of all of its available cash, which is generally
defined in its partnership agreement as consolidated cash receipts less consolidated cash
disbursements and cash reserves established by TEPPCO GP in its reasonable discretion. Currently,
TEPPCO GP receives IDRs when TEPPCOs cash distributions to unitholders exceed certain target
thresholds as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
General |
|
|
Unitholders |
|
Partner |
Quarterly Cash Distribution per common unit: |
|
|
|
|
Up to Minimum Quarterly Distribution ($0.275 per common unit) |
|
98% |
|
2% |
First Target $0.276 per Unit up to $0.325 per common unit |
|
85% |
|
15% |
Over First Target Cash distributions greater than $0.325 per common unit |
|
75% |
|
25% |
Prior to December 8, 2006, upon approval by TEPPCOs unitholders, the IDRs associated
with cash distributions greater than $0.45 per common unit were reduced from a capped level of 50%
to 25%. As consideration for the reduction in IDRs held by DFIGP, TEPPCO issued 14,091,275 common
units to DFIGP. The number of common units issued to DFIGP was intended to match the economic
benefit (at then current distribution rates) that DFI would have received from IDRs that were
eliminated.
The following key assumptions define Enterprises pro forma ownership of the TEPPCO and TEPPCO
GP partnership interests (including related IDRs) prior to May 7, 2007:
|
|
|
Ownership of 100% of the membership interests in TEPPCO GP (i.e., the 2% general
partner interest in TEPPCO) and deemed amounts of IDRs for all periods presented. The
economic benefit of the IDRs to Enterprise for periods prior to December 2006 is equal to:
(i) the benefit that would have been received by Enterprise at the current 25% threshold
using historical distribution rates plus (ii) an incremental amount of benefit that would
have been received in connection with the IDRs associated with 4,400,000 of the 14,091,275
common units issued by TEPPCO in December 2006 as a result of the conversion of IDRs above
the 25% threshold. Affiliates of EPCO (e.g. DFI and DFIGP) have been deemed to retain the
economic benefit of IDRs associated with the remaining 9,691,275 common units issued by
TEPPCO in December 2006. After December 2006, pro forma income from continuing operations
reflects current IDRs (i.e., capped at the 25% threshold). See Note (g) for additional
information regarding the IDRs. |
|
|
|
|
Ownership of 4,400,000 common units of TEPPCO since the date of issuance to affiliates
of EPCO in December 2006. |

As presented in the pro forma statements of operations for Enterprise, its share of earnings
from investments in TEPPCO and TEPPCO GP (including IDRs) can be graphically depicted as follows:
Earnings Recognition from Investments in TEPPCO
January 1, 2005 to March 31, 2007
All earnings derived from IDRs and TEPPCO common units in excess of those shown in
the preceding graph are a component of minority interest.
The pro forma adjustment for the year ended December 31, 2005 increased minority interest by
$10.3 million primarily to account for the economic benefit of the IDRs converted into TEPPCO
common units in December 2006 that were retained by DFI. This adjustment is required for the
period beginning February 2005 through the December 2006 conversion date. The $10.3 million amount
also reflects the allocation of a $0.4 million loss to the owner of TEPPCO GP prior to DFIGPs
purchase in February 2005.
The pro forma adjustment for the year ended December 31, 2006 increased minority interest by
$16.0 million to account for the economic benefit of the IDRs converted into TEPPCO common units in
December 2006 that were retained by DFI. Once TEPPCO converted a portion of the IDRs held by
TEPPCO GP into common units in December 2006, this pro forma adjustment was no longer required.
The pro forma adjustment for the three months ended March 31, 2007 decreased minority interest
per the statement of operations by $5.6 million to account for the 4,400,000 common units now owned
by Enterprise.
The pro forma condensed balance sheet reflects an aggregate $16.3 million reduction in
minority interest (with an offsetting increase in partners equity) for the reclassification of (i)
$3.2 million related to the 4,400,000 TEPPCO common units now owned by Enterprise and (ii) $13.1
million related to the carrying value of IDRs retained by affiliates of EPCO.
10
(g) Reflects the historical carrying values of intangible assets and related excess cost
amounts associated with the TEPPCO GP membership interests (including IDRs) and 4,400,000 TEPPCO
common units contributed to Enterprise by DFI and DFIGP on May 7, 2007. The pro forma adjustments
are as follows:
|
|
|
Enterprise recorded a $606.9 million indefinite-life intangible asset associated with
the IDRs contributed by DFIGP. This amount represents DFIGPs historical carrying value
and characterization of such asset. This intangible asset is not subject to amortization,
but is subject to periodic testing for recoverability in a manner similar to goodwill. |
|
|
|
|
Enterprise recorded $198.1 million of goodwill and $5.1 million of additional property,
plant and equipment in connection with the 4,400,000 TEPPCO common units contributed by
DFI and 2% general partner interest contributed by DFIGP. These amounts represent DFIs
and DFIGPs historical carrying values and characterization of such assets. Goodwill is
not subject to amortization, but is subject to annual testing for recoverability.
|
|
|
|
|
The $5.1 million of additional property, plant and equipment represents the pro rata excess
of fair value of TEPPCOs fixed assets over their historical carrying values in February
2005. On a pro forma basis, Enterprise recorded nominal amounts of additional depreciation
expense associated with the $5.1 million of additional property value during the years
ended December 31, 2006 and 2005 and three months ended March 31, 2007. Pro forma
depreciation expense was estimated based on an average remaining useful life of the
underlying assets of 25 years. |
(h) Reflects the issuance by Enterprise of an aggregate 14,173,304 Class B units to DFI and
DFIGP in connection with the May 7, 2007 contributions. These participating securities impact the
basic and diluted earnings per unit of Enterprise. Enterprise also issued an aggregate 16,000,000
Class C units to DFI and DFIGP on May 7, 2007; however, these securities are deemed
non-participating until 2009 and thus do not affect earnings per unit.
