NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

TE Products Pipeline Company, Limited Partnership (the “Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership, was formed in March 1990. TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (the “Parent Partnership”) owns a 99.999% interest in us as the sole limited partner. TEPPCO GP, Inc. (“TEPPCO GP” or “General Partner”), a subsidiary of the Parent Partnership, holds a 0.001% General Partner interest in us. Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC (the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the general partner of our Parent Partnership. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Duke Energy Field Services, LLC (“DEFS”), a joint venture between Duke Energy Corporation (“Duke Energy”) and ConocoPhillips. Duke Energy holds an interest of approximately 70% in DEFS, and ConocoPhillips holds the remaining interest of approximately 30%. TEPPCO GP, as general partner, performs all of the management and operating functions required for us in accordance with the Agreement of Limited Partnership of TE Products Pipeline Company, Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”). We reimburse our General Partner and the Company for all reasonable direct and indirect expenses that they incur in managing us.

As used in this Report, “we,” “us,” and “our” means TE Products Pipeline Company, Limited Partnership.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of our management, of a normal and recurring nature and necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of June 30, 2004, and the results of our operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, are not necessarily indicative of results of our operations for the full year 2004. You should read these interim financial statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented in the TE Products Pipeline Company, Limited Partnership Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003. We have reclassified certain amounts from prior periods to conform with the current presentation.

We operate and report in one business segment: transportation and storage of refined products, liquefied petroleum gases (“LPGs”) and petrochemicals. 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 and petrochemicals in this Report, collectively, as “petroleum products” or “products.”

At June 30, 2004, and December 31, 2003, we had working capital deficits of $39.6 million and $12.3 million, respectively. Cash generated from operations and from our Parent Partnership’s credit facilities and debt and equity offerings are our primary sources of liquidity. Working capital deficits can occur primarily due to the timing of operating cash receipts from customers, payment of cash distributions and the payment of normal operating expenses and capital expenditures. Our Parent Partnership has historically made capital contributions, loans or otherwise provided liquidity to us as needed, but the Parent Partnership has no contractual obligation to do so. At June 30, 2004, our Parent Partnership had $290.0 million in available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility and agreed to cover any working capital needs, if required.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) revised FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46”). FIN 46, issued by the FASB in January 2003, requires certain variable interest entities to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary of the entity if the equity investors in the entity do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The revised statement, FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an interpretation of ARB No. 51 (“FIN 46(R)”), clarifies some of the requirements of FIN 46, eases some implementation problems that companies experienced implementing FIN 46, adds new scope exceptions and makes the probability more likely for many companies that potential variable interest entities will be identified and

consolidated. We adopted the new requirements detailed in FIN 46(R) as of March 31, 2004. In connection with our adoption of FIN 46(R), we evaluated our investments in Centennial Pipeline LLC and Mont Belvieu Storage Partners, L.P. and determined that these entities are not materially affected by our adoption of FIN 46(R), and thus we have accounted for them as equity method investments (see Note 5. Equity Investments). Our adoption of FIN 46(R) did not have an effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On December 8, 2003, President Bush signed into a law a bill that expands Medicare, primarily adding a prescription drug benefit for Medicare-eligible retirees starting in 2006. We anticipate that the benefits our Parent Partnership pays after 2006 could be lower as a result of the new Medicare provisions; however, at this time the retiree medical obligations and costs reported do not reflect any changes as a result of this legislation. Deferring the recognition of the new Medicare provisions’ impact was permitted by FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) Nos. 106-1 and 106-2, Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003, due to open questions about some of the new Medicare provisions and a lack of authoritative accounting guidance about certain matters. The final accounting guidance could require changes to previously reported information. We will adopt the provisions of these FSPs in the quarter ended September 30, 2004; however, we do not believe that this regulation will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In December 2003, the FASB issued a revision to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 132, Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Post-Retirement Benefits. This revision required that companies provide more details about their plan assets, benefit obligations, cash flows, benefit costs and other relevant information. A description of investment policies and strategies and target allocation percentages, or target ranges, for these asset categories also is required in financial statements. Cash flows will include projections of future benefit payments and an estimate of contributions to be made in the next year to fund pension and other postretirement benefit plans. In addition to expanded annual disclosures, the FASB is requiring companies to report the various elements of pension and other postretirement benefit costs on a quarterly basis. The guidance is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2003, and for quarters beginning after December 15, 2003. We adopted the provisions of the revised SFAS 132 effective December 31, 2003, and certain provisions regarding disclosure of information about estimated future benefit payments in the first quarter of 2004.

NOTE 2. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

We account for our intangible assets under SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, which was issued by the FASB in July 2001. SFAS 142 prohibits amortization of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives, and instead requires testing for impairment at least annually. 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.

The following table reflects the components of amortized intangible assets, included in other assets on the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2004, and December 31, 2003 (in thousands):

	June 30, 2004					December 31, 2003
	Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization			Gross Carrying Amount		Accumulated Amortization

Amortized intangible assets:
Transportation agreements	$	1,328	$	(227	)	$	1,328	$	(194	)

Amortization expense on intangible assets was $16,603 for each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, and $33,205 for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2004 and 2003.

Estimated amortization expense on intangible assets will be $0.1 million for each of the years ending December 31, 2004 through 2008.

At June 30, 2004, we had $33.4 million of excess investment in our equity investment in Centennial Pipeline LLC, which was created upon formation of the company (see Note 5. Equity Investments). The excess investment is included in our equity investments account at June 30, 2004, and is accounted for as an intangible asset with an indefinite life. We assess the intangible asset for impairment on an annual basis.

NOTE 3. INTEREST RATE SWAP

On October 4, 2001, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge our exposure to changes in the fair value of our 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 our 7.51% Senior Notes. Under the swap agreement, we pay a floating rate of interest based on a three-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate, plus a spread, and receive a fixed rate of interest of 7.51%. During the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, we recognized reductions in interest expense of $5.1 million and $4.9 million, respectively, related to the difference between the fixed rate and the floating rate of interest on the interest rate swap. During the quarter ended June 30, 2004, we measured the hedge effectiveness of this interest rate swap and noted that no gain or loss from ineffectiveness was required to be recognized. The fair value of this interest rate swap was a loss of approximately $2.9 million at June 30, 2004, and a gain of approximately $2.3 million at December 31, 2003.

NOTE 4. INVENTORIES

Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (based on weighted average cost method) or market. The costs of inventories did not exceed market values at June 30, 2004, and December 31, 2003. The major components of inventories were as follows (in thousands):

	June 30, 2004		December 31, 2003
Refined products	$	995	$	6,632
LPGs	4,203		517
Materials and supplies	4,445		4,037
Total	$	9,643	$	11,186

NOTE 5. EQUITY INVESTMENTS

In August 2000, we entered into agreements with Panhandle Eastern Pipeline Company (“PEPL”), a former subsidiary of CMS Energy Corporation, and Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC (“Marathon”) to form Centennial Pipeline LLC (“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, we and Marathon each acquired an additional 16.7% interest in Centennial from PEPL for $20.0 million each, increasing our ownership percentages in Centennial to 50% each. During the six

months ended June 30, 2004, we invested $1.5 million in Centennial, which is included in the equity investment balance at June 30, 2004.

As of January 1, 2003, we and Louis Dreyfus Energy Services, L.P. (“Louis Dreyfus”) formed Mont Belvieu Storage Partners, L.P. (“MB Storage”). We and Louis Dreyfus each own a 50% ownership interest in MB Storage. The purpose of MB Storage is to expand services to the upper Texas Gulf Coast energy marketplace by increasing pipeline throughput and the mix of products handled through the existing system and establishing new receipt and delivery connections. MB Storage is a service-oriented, fee-based venture with no commodity trading activity. We operate the facilities for MB Storage. Effective January 1, 2003, we contributed property, plant 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 we were 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.

We receive the first $1.8 million per quarter (or $7.15 million on an annual basis) of MB Storage’s income before depreciation expense less mandatory capital expenditures, as defined in the operating agreement. Any amount of MB Storage’s annual income before depreciation expense less mandatory capital expenditures in excess of $7.15 million is allocated evenly between Louis Dreyfus and us. Depreciation expense on assets each originally contributed to MB Storage is allocated between us 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 us and Louis Dreyfus. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, our sharing ratio in the earnings of MB Storage was approximately 70.2%. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we contributed $17.2 million to MB Storage, of which $16.5 million was used to acquire storage assets in April 2004. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we received distributions of $5.0 million from MB Storage. These amounts are included in the equity investment balance at June 30, 2004.

We use the equity method of accounting to account for our investments in Centennial and MB Storage. Summarized combined financial information for Centennial and MB Storage for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, is presented below (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2004			2003
Revenues	$	28,508		$	22,229
Net loss	(907		)	(3,839		)

Summarized combined balance sheet data for Centennial and MB Storage as of June 30, 2004, and December 31, 2003, is presented below (in thousands):

	June 30, 2004		December 31, 2003
Current assets	$	33,554	$	26,771
Noncurrent assets	382,178		351,241
Current liabilities	43,240		35,032
Long-term debt	140,000		140,000
Noncurrent liabilities	13,308		13,182
Partners’ capital	219,184		189,798

Our investment in Centennial includes an excess net investment amount of $33.4 million (see Note 2. Intangible Assets). Excess investment is the amount by which our investment balance exceeds our proportionate share of the net assets of the investment.

NOTE 6. DEBT

Senior Notes

On January 27, 1998, we completed the issuance 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 “Senior Notes”). The 6.45% 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% Senior Notes due 2008 are not subject to redemption prior to January 15, 2008. The 7.51% Senior Notes due 2028, issued at par, may be redeemed at any time after January 15, 2008, at our option, in whole or in part, at a premium.

The Senior Notes do not have sinking fund requirements. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year. The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations and rank on a parity with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants limiting the creation of liens securing indebtedness and sale and leaseback transactions. However, the indenture does not limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness. As of June 30, 2004, we were in compliance with the covenants of the Senior Notes.

We have entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge our exposure to changes in the fair value on a portion of the Senior Notes discussed above (see Note 3. Interest Rate Swap).

At June 30, 2004, the estimated fair values of the 6.45% Senior Notes and 7.51% Senior Notes were approximately $185.5 million and $211.7 million, respectively. Market prices for recent transactions and rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities were used to estimate fair value.

Other Long Term Debt and Credit Facilities

We currently utilize debt financing available from our Parent Partnership through intercompany notes. The terms of the intercompany notes generally match the principal and interest payment dates under the Parent Partnership’s credit agreements. The interest rates charged by the Parent Partnership include the stated interest rate of the Parent Partnership, plus a premium to cover debt issuance costs. The interest rate is also decreased or increased to cover gains and losses, respectively, on any interest rate swaps that the Parent Partnership may have in place on its respective credit agreements. These credit facilities of the Parent Partnership are described below.

On April 6, 2001, our Parent Partnership entered into a $500.0 million revolving credit facility including the issuance of letters of credit of up to $20.0 million (“Three Year Facility”). The interest rate was based, at our Parent Partnership’s option, on either the lender’s base rate plus a spread, or LIBOR plus a spread in effect at the time of the borrowings. The credit agreement for the Three Year Facility contained certain restrictive financial covenant ratios. During the first quarter of 2003, our Parent Partnership repaid $182.0 million of the outstanding balance of the Three Year Facility with proceeds from the issuance of its 6.125% Senior Notes on January 30, 2003. On June 27, 2003, our Parent Partnership repaid the outstanding balance under the Three Year Facility with borrowings under a new credit facility, and canceled the Three Year Facility.

On February 20, 2002, our Parent Partnership issued $500.0 million principal amount of 7.625% Senior Notes due 2012. The 7.625% Senior Notes were issued at a discount of $2.2 million and are being accreted to their face value over the term of the notes. The Senior Notes may be redeemed at any time at our Parent Partnership’s

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 these 7.625% Senior Notes contains covenants, including, but not limited to, covenants limiting the creation of liens securing indebtedness and sale and leaseback transactions. However, the indenture does not limit our Parent Partnership’s ability to incur additional indebtedness.

On January 30, 2003, our Parent Partnership 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 Parent Partnership used $182.0 million of the proceeds from the offering to reduce the outstanding principal on the Three Year Facility to $250.0 million. The balance of the net proceeds received was used for general Parent Partnership purposes. The Senior Notes may be redeemed at any time at our Parent Partnership’s 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 the Parent Partnership’s ability to incur additional indebtedness.

On June 27, 2003, our Parent Partnership entered into a $550.0 million 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 our Parent Partnership’s option, on either the lender’s 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. Our Parent Partnership borrowed $263.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility and repaid the outstanding balance of the Three Year Facility. At June 30, 2004, $260.0 million was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2004, and December 31, 2003, we had an intercompany note payable to our Parent Partnership of $246.8 million and $211.3 million, respectively, which represented borrowings under the Parent Partnership’s Revolving Credit Facility, 7.625% Senior Notes and 6.125% Senior Notes. The weighted average interest rate on the note payable to the Parent Partnership at June 30, 2004, was 5.2%. At June 30, 2004, accrued interest includes $4.1 million due to the Parent Partnership. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, interest costs incurred on the note payable to the Parent Partnership totaled $6.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

NOTE 7. QUARTERLY DISTRIBUTONS OF AVAILABLE CASH

We make quarterly cash distributions of all of our available cash, generally defined as consolidated cash receipts less consolidated cash disbursements and cash reserves established by the General Partner in its sole discretion. We pay distributions of 99.999% to the Parent Partnership and 0.001% to the General Partner.

During the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, we paid cash distributions totaling $58.6 million and $51.2 million, respectively, to our Parent Partnership. On August 6, 2004, we will pay a cash distribution to our Parent Partnership of $29.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.

NOTE 8. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

Retirement Plans

The Parent Partnership has adopted the TEPPCO Retirement Cash Balance Plan (“TEPPCO RCBP”), which is a non-contributory, trustee-administered pension plan. In addition, certain executive officers participate in the TEPPCO Supplemental Benefit Plan (“TEPPCO SBP”), which is a non-contributory, nonqualified, defined benefit retirement plan. 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 is a cash balance formula. Under a cash balance formula, a plan participant accumulates a retirement benefit based upon pay credits and current interest credits. The pay credits are based on a participant’s salary, age and service. The Parent Partnership uses a December 31 measurement date for these plans.

The components of net pension benefits costs allocated to us for the TEPPCO RCBP and the TEPPCO SBP for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2004			2003			2004			2003
Service cost benefit earned during the period	$	635		$	540		$	1,271		$	1,080
Interest cost on projected benefit obligation	120			87			241			174
Expected return on plan assets	(157		)	(108		)	(315		)	(216		)
Amortization of prior service cost	2			2			4			4
Recognized net actuarial loss	3			4			7			9
Net pension benefits costs	$	603		$	525		$	1,208		$	1,051

Other Postretirement Benefits

Effective January 1, 2001, the Parent Partnership provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for retired employees on a contributory and non-contributory basis (“TEPPCO OPB”). Employees become eligible for these benefits if they meet certain age and service requirements at retirement, as defined in the plans. The Parent Partnership provides a fixed dollar contribution, which does not increase from year to year, towards retired employee medical costs. The retiree pays all health care cost increases due to medical inflation. The Parent Partnership uses a December 31 measurement date for this plan.

The components of net postretirement benefits costs allocated to us for the TEPPCO OPB for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, were as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2004		2003		2004		2003
Service cost benefit earned during the period	$	29	$	23	$	58	$	46
Interest cost on accumulated postretirement benefit obligation	33		29		65		58
Amortization of prior service cost	28		28		56		56
Recognized net actuarial loss	—		—		1		—
Net postretirement benefits costs	$	90	$	80	$	180	$	160

Estimated Future Benefit Contributions

The Parent Partnership expects to contribute approximately $3.0 million to the retirement plans and other postretirement benefit plans in 2004. We expect to be allocated a share of these contributions.

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

In the fall of 1999 and on December 1, 2000, the Company and the Parent Partnership were named as defendants in two separate lawsuits in Jackson County Circuit Court, Jackson County, Indiana, styled Ryan E. McCleery and Marcia S. McCleery, et al. v. Texas Eastern Corporation, et al. (including the Company and the Parent Partnership) and Gilbert Richards and Jean Richards v. Texas Eastern Corporation, et al. (including the Company and the Parent Partnership). In both cases, 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 complaints, 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. We have filed an answer to both complaints, denying the allegations, as well as various other motions. In April 2004, the court granted a partial motion for summary judgment in favor of the defendants, dismissing two of the plaintiffs’ personal injury claims in their entirety. It is anticipated that the plaintiffs will appeal this ruling. These cases are not covered by insurance. Discovery is ongoing, and we are defending ourselves vigorously against the lawsuits. The plaintiffs have not stipulated the amount of damages that they are seeking in the suits. We cannot estimate the loss, if any, associated with these pending lawsuits.

On December 21, 2001, we were 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 are defending ourselves vigorously against the lawsuit. The plaintiffs have not stipulated the amount of damages they are seeking in the suit; however, this case is covered by insurance. 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 May 2003, the Company was named as a defendant in a lawsuit styled John R. James, et al. v. J Graves Insulation Company, et al. as filed in the first Judicial District Court, Caddo Parish, Louisiana. There are numerous plaintiffs identified in the action that are alleged to have suffered damages as the result of alleged exposure to asbestos-containing products and materials. According to the petition and as a result of a preliminary investigation, the Company believes that the only claim asserted against it results from one individual for the period from July 1971 through June 1972, who is alleged to have worked on a facility owned by the Company’s predecessor. This period represents a small portion of the total alleged exposure period from January 1964 through December 2001 for this individual. The individual’s claims involve numerous employers and alleged job sites. The Company has been unable to confirm involvement by the Company or its predecessors with the alleged location, and it is uncertain at this time whether this case is covered by insurance. Discovery is planned, and the Company intends to defend itself vigorously against this lawsuit. The plaintiffs have not stipulated the amount of damages that they are seeking in this suit. We are obligated to reimburse the Company for any costs it incurs related to this lawsuit. We cannot estimate the loss, if any, associated with this pending lawsuit. 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 April 2, 2003, Centennial was served with a petition in a matter styled Adams, et al. v. Centennial Pipeline Company LLC, et al. This matter involves approximately 2,000 plaintiffs who allege that over 200

defendants, including Centennial, generated, transported, and/or disposed of hazardous and toxic waste at two sites in Bayou Sorrell, Louisiana, an underground injection well and a landfill. The plaintiffs allege personal injuries, allergies, birth defects, cancer and death. The underground injection well has been in operation since May 1976. Based upon current information, Centennial appears to be a de minimis contributor, having used the disposal site during the two month time period of December 2001 to January 2002. Marathon has been handling this matter for Centennial under its operating agreement with Centennial. We have a 50% ownership interest in Centennial. Based upon Centennial’s limited involvement with the disposal site, we do not believe that the outcome of this matter will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On December 16, 2003, Centennial, the Company, the Parent Partnership and other Parent Partnership entities were named as defendants in a lawsuit in the 128th District Court of Orange County, Texas, styled Elwood Karr et al. v. Centennial Pipeline, LLC et al. In this case, the plaintiffs contend that our pipeline leaked toxic substances on their property, causing them property damage. We have filed an answer to the plaintiffs’ petition, denying the allegations and are defending ourselves vigorously against this lawsuit. This case is covered by insurance. 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 litigation 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 material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Our operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil and criminal penalties, imposition of injunctions delaying or prohibiting certain activities and the need to perform investigatory and remedial activities. Although we believe our operations are in material compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, risks of significant costs and liabilities are inherent in pipeline operations, and we cannot assure you that significant costs and liabilities will not be incurred. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly strict environmental laws and regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from our operations, could result in substantial costs and liabilities to us. We believe that changes in environmental laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in the near term.

On March 26, 2004, an initial decision in ARCO Products Co., et al. v. SFPP, Docket OR96-2-000, et al. was issued by the FERC, which made several significant determinations with respect to finding “changed circumstances” under the Energy Policy Act of 1992 (“EP Act”). The decision lists factors that will be considered by the FERC, which include showing a substantial change in economic circumstances, the time factor that will be reviewed, what will be considered the basis of the rate and a pipeline’s documentary requirements. The decision largely clarifies, but does not fully quantify, the standard required for a complainant to demonstrate that an oil pipeline’s rates are no longer subject to the rate protection of the EP Act by demonstrating that a substantial change in circumstances has occurred since 1992 with respect to the basis of the rates being challenged. In the decision, the FERC found that a limited number of rate elements will significantly affect the economic basis for a pipeline company’s rates. The elements identified in the decision are volume changes, allowed total return and total cost of service (including major cost elements of rate base such as tax rates and tax allowances, among others). The FERC did reject, however, the use of changes in tax rate and income tax allowances as standalone factors. The FERC further found that if a complainant can show that a pipeline’s volumes and overall cost of service collectively reflect a significant increase in net earnings between the establishment of the challenged rate pre-1992 and the time of the complaint, based primarily on the combined impact of changes in volumes and changes in overall cost of service, the complainant has met its burden relative to establishing “changed circumstances.” It appears likely that the decision will be appealed. We have not yet determined the impact, if any, that the decision could have on our rates if they were reviewed under the criteria of this decision.

On July 20, 2004, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a decision in BP West Coast Products, LLC v. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and United States of America, which reviewed the decisions that the FERC issued in Opinion Nos. 435, 435-A, 435-B and Clarification and Rehearing Order. In these opinions, the FERC considered the tariffs of SFPP, L.P. (“SFPP”) and complaints and other filings by shipper customers of SFPP. The Court determined, in part, that SFPP, a publicly traded limited partnership, is not allowed to include income tax allowance in its cost-of-service analysis in the determination of just and reasonable rates that were not grandfathered under the EP Act. With respect to SFPP’s grandfathered rates, the Court remanded to the FERC for further review, in light of the Court’s holding on income tax allowance, of the FERC’s determination that changes in the FERC’s tax allowance policy do not constitute “substantially changed circumstances” under the EP Act. The Court’s decision on income tax allowance does not affect our current rates and rate structure because our rates are not based on the cost-of-service methodology. However, the Court’s decision might become relevant to us should we (i) elect in the future to use cost-of-service to support our rates or (ii) be required to use such methodology to defend our indexed rates against a shipper complaint.

In 1994, the Louisiana Department of Environmental Quality (“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. At June 30, 2004, we have an accrued liability of $0.3 million for remediation costs at our Arcadia facility. Effective in 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. 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 March 17, 2003, we experienced a release of 511 barrels of jet fuel from a storage tank at our Blue Island terminal located in Cook County, Illinois. As a result of the release, we have entered into an Agreed Order with the State of Illinois. We are complying with the Agreed Order and are in the process of negotiating a final settlement with the State of Illinois. We do not expect that compliance with the Agreed Order or the settlement will have a future material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

At June 30, 2004, we have an accrued liability of $2.0 million related to various sites requiring environmental remediation activities. We do not expect that the completion of remediation programs associated with these activities will have a future material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We regularly review our long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. At June 30, 2004, we have identified certain assets that we are assessing for recoverability resulting from recent operational changes. We are continuing to monitor these circumstances surrounding the assets; however, we do not believe that the resolution of the matter will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Centennial entered into credit facilities totaling $150.0 million and, as of June 30, 2004, $150.0 million was outstanding under those credit facilities. The proceeds were used to fund construction and conversion costs of Centennial’s pipeline system. We and Marathon have each guaranteed one half of Centennial’s debt, up to a maximum amount of $75.0 million each.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General

You should read the following review of our financial position and results of operations in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements and the notes thereto. Material period-to-period variances in the consolidated statements of income are discussed under “Results of Operations.” The “Financial Condition and Liquidity” section analyzes our cash flows and financial position. “Other Considerations” addresses trends, future plans and contingencies that are reasonably likely to materially affect our future liquidity or earnings. The Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes, together with our discussion and analysis of financial position and results of operations included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A summary of the significant accounting policies we have adopted and followed in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is detailed in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain of these accounting policies require the use of estimates. The following estimates, in our opinion, are subjective in nature, require the exercise of judgment and involve complex analysis: revenue and expense accruals, including accruals for power costs, property taxes, environmental costs and property, plant and equipment. These estimates are based on our knowledge and understanding of current conditions and actions we may take in the future. Changes in these estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

Management Overview of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2004

We reported net income of $24.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared with net income of $29.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, and $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared with net income of $8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Our results for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004, were impacted by higher pipeline integrity costs of $2.6 million and $8.0 million, respectively, which essentially offset increased revenues from both our refined products and propane businesses. We anticipate that our pipeline integrity costs for 2004 will be approximately $3.0 million to $5.0 million higher than our 2003 costs as we continue to perform pipeline maintenance under our integrity management program.

We are focused on opportunities, challenges and risks that are inherent in our business. These include the safe, reliable and efficient operation of the pipelines and facilities that we own or operate while meeting increased regulations that govern the operation of our assets and the costs associated with such regulations. We are also focused on our continued growth through expansion of the assets that we own and through acquisition of assets that complement our current operations. We remain confident that our current strategy and focus will provide continued growth in earnings and cash distributions. These growth opportunities include continued development of refined products and propane market opportunities, including pipeline and terminal expansions.

We are continuing to pursue a plan to make system changes to allow for bi-directional flow and deliveries into the Shreveport, Louisiana market area. We have completed feasibility studies and are in discussions with potential customers regarding the transportation of volumes through the pipeline system in this area. Engineering design work is currently under way to reverse the flow of the pipeline segment from Shreveport to El Dorado, Arkansas. The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2004.

We are planning to build a new refined products truck loading terminal in Bossier City, Louisiana. The facility will include six storage tanks and a fully automated two-bay truck loading rack. The terminal will expand delivery capacity of refined products to the Northwest Louisiana and East Texas markets by more than 20,000 barrels per day. The facility will increase the delivery of branded and unbranded premium and regular gasoline, as

well as low-sulfur diesel fuels, which will meet the different product specifications of both market areas. The project is scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2005.

We have begun a Phase II project to further expand our delivery capacity of liquefied petroleum gases (“LPGs”) to the Northeast by 8,000 to 10,000 barrels per day. In 2003, we increased the delivery capability between Todhunter, Ohio, and Coshocton, Ohio, by 8,000 to 10,000 barrels per day and increased storage and improved loading capability at Oneonta, New York. The Phase II expansion includes the construction of three pump stations between Coshocton and Greensburg, Pennsylvania, and two stations from Greensburg to Watkins Glen, New York. Additional work on the pipeline segment between Greensburg and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, will increase delivery rates to the Philadelphia area. Improvements will also be made at our Dubois, Pennsylvania, and Eagle, Pennsylvania, terminals. The project is scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Our Business

TE Products Pipeline Company, Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership, was formed in March 1990. TEPPCO Partners, L.P. (“Parent Partnership”) owns a 99.999% interest in us as the sole limited partner. TEPPCO GP, Inc. (“TEPPCO GP” or “General Partner”), a subsidiary of the Parent Partnership, holds a 0.001% General Partner interest in us. Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company, LLC (the “Company”), a Delaware limited liability company, serves as the general partner of our Parent Partnership. The Company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Duke Energy Field Services, LLC (“DEFS”), a joint venture between Duke Energy Corporation (“Duke Energy”) and ConocoPhillips. Duke Energy holds an interest of approximately 70% in DEFS, and ConocoPhillips holds the remaining interest of approximately 30%. TEPPCO GP, as general partner, performs all of our management and operating functions required in accordance with the Agreement of Limited Partnership of TE Products Pipeline Company, Limited Partnership. We reimburse our General Partner and the Company for all reasonable direct and indirect expenses that they incur in managing us.

We operate and report in one business segment: transportation and storage of refined products, LPGs and petrochemicals. Revenues are earned from transportation and storage of refined products and LPGs, intrastate transportation of petrochemicals, sales of product inventory and other ancillary services. Our two largest operating expense items are labor and electric power. We generally realize higher revenues during the first and fourth quarters of each year as our 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 in the Northeast for propane, a major fuel for residential heating. Our results also include our equity investments in Centennial Pipeline LLC (“Centennial”) and Mont Belvieu Storage Partners, L.P. (“MB Storage”) (see Note 5. Equity Investments).

We are one of three operating subsidiaries of our Parent Partnership. Our Parent Partnership is managed by its general partner, the Company, which has approximately 1,000 employees dedicated to the operations and management of the operating subsidiaries. Our Parent Partnership allocates operating, general and administrative expenses to us for legal, insurance, financial, communication and other administrative 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 to us is reasonable.

Results of Operations

The following table presents volumes delivered and average tariff per barrel for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003 (in thousands, except tariff information):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Percentage Increase	Six Months Ended June 30,				Percentage Increase

Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2003

We reported net income of $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared with net income of $8.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2003. Net income decreased $1.9 million primarily due to an increase of $4.5 million in costs and expenses and a decrease of $0.6 million in equity earnings, partially offset by an increase of $2.4 million in operating revenues, a decrease of $0.7 million in interest expense – net and an increase of $0.1 million in other income – net. We discuss the factors influencing our operating performance below.

Revenues from refined products transportation increased $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to an increase in distillate volumes transported as a result of a strong trucking market. For the three months ended June 30, 2004, the refined products average tariff increased 5% from the prior year period primarily due to higher market-based tariff rates which went into effect in July 2003, and decreased short-haul deliveries of product received into our system from Centennial at Creal Springs, Illinois. Prior to the construction of Centennial, deliveries on our pipeline system were limited by our pipeline capacity, and transportation services for our customers were allocated in accordance with a proration policy. With this incremental pipeline capacity, our previously constrained system has expanded deliveries in markets both south and north of Creal Springs. In February 2003, we entered into a lease agreement with Centennial that increased our flexibility to deliver refined products to our market areas. During the three months ended June 30, 2004, overall refined product volumes transported decreased primarily due to lower short-haul volumes received into our system from Centennial, partially offset by increased demand and market share for products supplied from the U.S. Gulf Coast into Midwest markets.

Revenues from LPGs transportation increased $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to higher deliveries of isobutane to Chicago area refineries and increased short-haul propane deliveries to Gulf Coast petrochemical customers, partially offset by lower deliveries of propane in the upper Midwest and Northeast market areas attributable to the impact of high propane prices and low inventories at Mont Belvieu during the second quarter of 2004. The LPGs average rate per barrel decreased 20% from the prior year period primarily as a result of increased short-haul deliveries during the three months ended June 30, 2004.

Other operating revenues increased $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to higher margins on product inventory sales, higher refined products tender deduction fees and higher propane deliveries at our Providence, Rhode Island import facility. These increases were partially offset by lower revenues from product exchanges, which are used to position product in the Midwest market area.

Costs and expenses increased $4.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003. The increase was made up of a $2.9 million increase in operating, general and administrative expenses, a $2.1 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense and a $0.1 million increase in taxes – other than income taxes, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in operating fuel and power. Operating, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to a $2.6 million increase in pipeline integrity management expenses associated with our integrity management program, a $0.8 million increase in rental expense from the Centennial pipeline capacity lease agreement that we entered into in February 2003, and an increase in consulting and contract services primarily related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. These increases were partially offset by lower labor costs and decreased general and administrative supplies expense, and lower expenses in the 2004 period associated with the write-off of receivables related to customer bankruptcies and other customer non-payments in 2003. Depreciation expense increased from the prior year period because of assets placed in service during 2003, partially offset by an increase in the estimated remaining life of a section of our pipeline system in the Northeast, as a result of pipeline improvements made as part of our integrity management program. Taxes – other than income taxes increased as a result of higher property balances. Operating fuel and power expense decreased primarily as a result of a more efficient use of our transportation assets, partially offset by increased mainline throughput.

Net losses from equity investments increased $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003, as shown below (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Increase (Decrease)
	2004			2003			Increase (Decrease)

Centennial	$	(2,286	)	$	(1,827	)	$	(459	)
MB Storage	1,785			1,899			(114		)
Other	(8		)	(8		)	—
Total equity earnings (losses)	$	(509	)	$	64		$	(573	)

Equity losses in Centennial increased primarily due to higher operating expenses, partially offset by an increase in transportation volumes on Centennial. Equity earnings from our 50% ownership interest in MB Storage decreased $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003. In April 2004, MB Storage acquired storage assets and contracts for $33.5 million, of which we contributed $16.5 million. The decrease in equity earnings was due to increased amortization and depreciation expense on the acquired storage assets and contracts, partially offset by increased storage revenue, shuttle revenue and rental revenue primarily from the acquired contracts and lower pipeline rehabilitation expenses on the MB Storage system.

Interest expense decreased $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to lower allocations of interest expense from the Parent Partnership, partially offset by higher debt balances The Parent Partnership had lower interest expense primarily due to a higher percentage of variable interest rate debt during the three months ended June 30, 2004, that carried a lower rate of interest as compared to fixed interest rate debt. The higher percentage of variable interest rate debt resulted from the expiration of an interest rate swap in April 2004. Interest capitalized increased $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003, as a result of increased balances of construction work-in-progress.

Other income – net increased $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the three months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to higher interest income earned on cash investments.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2004 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2003

We reported net income of $24.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared with net income of $29.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003. Net income decreased $5.2 million primarily due to an increase of $14.7 million in costs and expenses and a decrease of $0.6 million in equity earnings, partially offset by an increase of $9.1 million in operating revenues, a decrease of $0.6 million in interest expense – net and an increase of $0.4 million in other income – net. We discuss the factors influencing our operating performance below.

Revenues from refined products transportation increased $5.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003, due to an overall increase of 3% in the refined products volumes delivered, primarily due to increases in motor fuel and distillate volumes transported as a result of a strong trucking market. These increases were primarily due to deliveries of products received into our pipeline from Centennial at Creal Springs, Illinois. Centennial has provided our system with additional pipeline capacity for products originating in the U.S. Gulf Coast area. Prior to the construction of Centennial, deliveries on our pipeline system were limited by our pipeline capacity, and transportation services for our customers were allocated in accordance with a proration policy. With this incremental pipeline capacity, our previously constrained system has expanded deliveries in markets both south and north of Creal Springs. In February 2003, we entered into a lease agreement with Centennial that increased our flexibility to deliver refined products to our market areas. Volume increases were due to increased demand and market share for products supplied from the U.S. Gulf Coast into Midwest markets. The refined products average rate per barrel increased 6% from the prior year period primarily due to higher market-based tariff rates which went into effect in July 2003, partially offset by the impact of the Midwest origin point for barrels received from Centennial, which resulted in decreased short-haul barrels transported on our system.

Revenues from LPGs transportation decreased $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to lower deliveries of propane in the upper Midwest and Northeast market areas attributable to warmer weather during the first three months of 2004. Additionally, in late February 2004, the Mont Belvieu propane price spiked, which resulted in our sourced propane being less competitive than propane from other source points. This decrease was partially offset by increased deliveries of isobutane to Chicago area refineries and increased short-haul propane deliveries to Gulf Coast petrochemical customers. The LPGs average rate per barrel decreased 10% from the prior year period primarily as a result of increased short-haul deliveries during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Other operating revenues increased $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to higher propane inventory fees, higher refined products tender deduction fees, higher margins on product inventory sales and higher propane deliveries at our Providence, Rhode Island import facility.

Costs and expenses increased $14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003. The increase was made up of an $11.4 million increase in operating, general and administrative expenses, a $3.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense and a $0.3 million increase in taxes – other than income taxes, partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease in operating fuel and power. Operating, general and administrative expenses increased primarily due to an $8.0 million increase in pipeline integrity management expenses associated with our integrity management program, a $1.7 million increase in rental expense from the Centennial pipeline capacity lease agreement that we entered into in February 2003, a $2.1 million increase in consulting and contract services primarily related to compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and acquisition related activities, and a $0.4 million increase in environmental assessment and remediation activities, partially offset by lower labor costs and decreased general and administrative supplies expense, and lower expenses in the 2004 period associated with the write-off of receivables related to customer bankruptcies and other customer non-payments in 2003. Depreciation expense increased from the prior year period because of assets placed in service during 2003, partially offset by an increase in the estimated remaining life of a section of our pipeline system in the Northeast, as a result of pipeline improvements made as part of our integrity management program. Taxes – other than income taxes increased as a result of higher property balances. Operating

fuel and power expense decreased primarily as a result of a more efficient use of our transportation assets, partially offset by increased mainline throughput.

Net losses from equity investments increased $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003, as shown below (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,						Increase (Decrease)
	2004			2003			Increase (Decrease)

Centennial	$	(6,143	)	$	(5,005	)	$	(1,138	)
MB Storage	4,414			3,844			570
Other	(18		)	(34		)	16
Total equity losses	$	(1,747	)	$	(1,195	)	$	(552	)

Equity losses in Centennial increased primarily due to the acquisition of an additional 16.7% interest in Centennial on February 10, 2003, bringing our ownership interest to 50%, and higher operating expenses, partially offset by an increase in transportation volumes on Centennial. Equity earnings from our 50% ownership interest in MB Storage increased $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003. In April 2004, MB Storage acquired storage assets and contracts for $33.5 million, of which we contributed $16.5 million. The increase in equity earnings is due to increased storage revenue, shuttle revenue and rental revenue primarily from the acquired contracts and lower pipeline rehabilitation expenses on the MB Storage system, partially offset by increased amortization and depreciation expense on storage assets and contracts acquired.

Interest expense decreased $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to lower allocations of interest expense from the Parent Partnership, partially offset by higher debt balances. The Parent Partnership had lower interest expense primarily due to a higher percentage of variable interest rate debt during the three months ended June 30, 2004, that carried a lower rate of interest as compared to fixed interest rate debt. The higher percentage of variable interest rate debt resulted from the expiration of an interest rate swap in April 2004. Interest capitalized increased $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003, as a result of increased balances of construction work-in-progress.

Other income – net increased $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to higher interest income earned on cash investments.

Financial Condition and Liquidity

Cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, were as follows (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2004			2003

Cash provided by (used in):

Financing activities	(23,131		)	(12,448		)

Operating Activities

Net cash from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, was comprised of the following (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2004		2003

Net income	$	24,113	$	29,340
Depreciation and amortization	17,636		13,937

Distributions from equity investments	4,950		—
Non-cash portion of interest expense	15		16
Cash used in working capital and other	19,812		18,253
Net cash from operating activities	$	68,273	$	62,741

Cash provided by operating activities increased $5.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, compared with the six months ended June 30, 2003, primarily due to distributions received from MB Storage and the timing of payments for working capital components during the six months ended June 30, 2004.

We believe that we will continue to have adequate liquidity to fund future recurring operating and investing activities. Our primary cash requirements consist of normal operating expenses, capital expenditures to sustain existing operations and revenue generating expenditures, interest payments on our Senior Notes and on borrowings under our Parent Partnership’s credit facilities and distributions to our Parent Partnership. Short-term cash requirements, such as operating expenses, capital expenditures to sustain existing operations and quarterly distributions to our Parent Partnership, are expected to be funded through operating cash flows. Long-term cash requirements for expansion projects are expected to be funded by several sources, including cash flows from operating activities, borrowings under our Parent Partnership’s credit facilities and the issuance by our Parent Partnership of additional equity and debt securities. The timing of any debt or offerings by our Parent Partnership will depend on various factors, including prevailing market conditions, interest rates and our Parent Partnership’s financial condition and credit rating at the time.

At June 30, 2004, and December 31, 2003, we had working capital deficits of $39.6 million and $12.3 million, respectively. Cash generated from operations and from our Parent Partnership’s credit facilities and debt and equity offerings are our primary sources of liquidity. Working capital deficits can occur primarily due to the timing of operating cash receipts from customers, payment of cash distributions and the payment of normal operating expenses and capital expenditures. We are a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Partnership. We expect that our Parent Partnership will make capital contributions, loans or otherwise provide liquidity to us as needed, but the Parent Partnership has no contractual obligation to do so. We anticipate that the Parent Partnership will provide the necessary liquidity to protect its investment in us. At June 30, 2004, our Parent Partnership had $290.0 million in available borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility to cover any working capital needs, and expects that cash flows from operating activities, the sale of additional debt or equity offerings will provide necessary liquidity to us.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $45.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, and were comprised of $24.6 million of capital expenditures, $17.2 million of cash contributions for our ownership interest in MB Storage, $2.0 million for the acquisition of assets and $1.5 million of cash contributions for our ownership interest in Centennial. Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $46.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, and were comprised of $25.1 million of capital expenditures, $20.0 million for our acquisition of the additional interest in Centennial on February 10, 2003, and $1.0 million of cash contributions for our ownership interest in Centennial.

Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, and were comprised of $58.6 million of distributions paid to our Parent Partnership and $34.6 million of repayments on our term loan, partially offset by $70.1 million of proceeds for our term loan. Cash flows used in financing activities totaled $12.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2003, and were comprised of $51.2 million of distributions paid to our Parent Partnership and $20.5 million of repayments on our term loan, partially offset by $57.4 million of proceeds for our term loan and $1.9 million in contributions from our Parent Partnership.

Centennial entered into credit facilities totaling $150.0 million and, as of June 30, 2004, $150.0 million was outstanding under those credit facilities. The proceeds were used to fund construction and conversion costs of Centennial’s pipeline system. We and Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC have each guaranteed one half of Centennial’s debt, up to a maximum of $75.0 million each.

Parent Partnership Credit Facilities

Partnership’s Revolving Credit Facility, 7.625% Senior Notes and 6.125% Senior Notes. The weighted average interest rate on the note payable to the Parent Partnership at June 30, 2004, was 5.2%. At June 30, 2004, accrued interest includes $4.1 million due to the Parent Partnership. For the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2003, interest costs incurred on the note payable to the Parent Partnership totaled $6.1 million and $6.0 million, respectively.

Cash Distributions

Future Capital Needs and Commitments

We estimate that capital expenditures, excluding acquisitions, for 2004 will be approximately $78.7 million (which includes $2.0 million of capitalized interest). We expect to spend approximately $54.4 million for revenue generating projects and facility improvements that will include the expansion of our pipelines extending from Seymour to Indianapolis, Indiana, further expansions of our Northeast pipeline system and construction of a new truck loading terminal in Bossier City, Louisiana. We expect to spend approximately $22.3 million of capital costs to sustain existing operations, including life-cycle replacements for equipment at various facilities and pipeline and tank replacements. We continually review and evaluate potential capital improvements and expansions that would be complementary to our present system. These expenditures can vary greatly depending on the magnitude of our transactions. We may finance capital expenditures through internally generated funds, debt, capital contributions from our Parent Partnership or any combination thereof.

Our debt repayment obligations consist of payments for principal and interest on (i) our $246.8 million principal amount due to the Parent Partnership related to our share of the Parent Partnership’s Revolving Credit Facility due in June 2006, 7.625% Senior Notes due in February 2012 and 6.125% Senior Notes due in February 2013, (ii) our $210.0 million 7.51% Senior Notes due January 15, 2028, and (iii) our $180.0 million 6.45% Senior Notes due January 15, 2008.

We are also contingently liable as guarantor for the lesser of one half or $75.0 million principal amount (plus interest) of Centennial’s borrowings. In January 2003, we entered into a pipeline capacity lease agreement with Centennial for a period of five years that contains a minimum throughput requirement. During the year ended December 31, 2003, and for the six months ended June 30, 2004, we exceeded the minimum throughput requirements on the lease agreement. We are also contingently liable as guarantor for $500.0 million principal amount of 7.625% Senior Notes due 2012 issued in February 2002 and for $200.0 million principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2013 issued in January 2003 by our Parent Partnership.

During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we contributed $1.5 million to Centennial to cover operating needs and capital expenditures. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, we contributed $17.2 million to MB Storage, of which $16.5 million was used to for its acquisition of storage assets in April 2004. We may be required to contribute cash to Centennial during the remainder of 2004 to cover capital expenditures, acquisitions or other operating needs and to MB Storage to cover significant capital expenditures or additional acquisitions.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not rely on off-balance sheet borrowings to fund our acquisitions. We have no off-balance sheet commitments for indebtedness other than the limited guaranty of the Centennial debt, the Parent Partnership debt and leases covering assets utilized in several areas of our operations.

Contractual Obligations

The following table summarizes our debt repayment obligations and material contractual commitments as of June 30, 2004 (in millions):

	Amount of Commitment Expiration Per Period
	Total		Less than 1 Year		1-3 Years		3-5 Years		More than 5 Years

Note payable, Parent Partnership	$	246.8	$	—	$	246.8	$	—	$	—
6.45% Senior Notes due 2008 (1)	180.0		—		—		180.0		—
7.51% Senior Notes due 2028 (1)	210.0		—		—		—		210.0
Debt subtotal	636.8		—		246.8		180.0		210.0

Operating leases	49.8		11.6		20.1		8.5		9.6

Total	$	686.6	$	11.6	$	266.9	$	188.5	$	219.6

(1) We entered into an interest rate swap agreement to hedge our exposure to changes in the fair value of our 7.51% Senior Notes due 2028. At June 30, 2004, the 7.51% Senior Notes include an adjustment to decrease the fair value of the debt by $2.9 million related to this interest rate swap agreement. At June 30, 2004, our 6.45% Senior Notes include $3.0 million of unamortized debt discount. The fair value adjustment and unamortized debt discount are excluded from this table.

We expect to repay the long-term, senior unsecured obligations and note payable to our Parent Partnership through the issuance of additional long-term senior unsecured debt at the time the 2008 and 2028 debts mature, with proceeds from the dispositions of assets, cash flows from operations, contributions from our Parent Partnership or any combination of the above items.

Sources of Future Capital

We expect that our cash flow from operating activities will be adequate to fund cash distributions and capital additions necessary to sustain existing operations. However, expansionary capital projects and acquisitions may require additional capital contributions from our Parent Partnership. The Parent Partnership has funded its capital commitments from operating cash flow, borrowings under bank credit facilities, the issuance of long term debt in capital markets and the public offering of Limited Partner Units. We expect future capital needs will be similarly funded.

Our Parent Partnership has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a universal shelf registration statement that, subject to effectiveness, agreement on terms at the time of use and appropriate supplementation, allows it to issue, in one or more offerings, up to an aggregate of $2.0 billion of equity securities, debt securities or a combination thereof. At June 30, 2004, our Parent Partnership has $2.0 billion remaining under this shelf registration.

Our Parent Partnership’s senior unsecured debt is rated BBB by Standard and Poors (“S&P”) and Baa3 by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”). Our senior unsecured debt is also rated BBB by S&P and Baa3 by Moody’s. Both ratings are stable. A rating reflects only the view of a rating agency and is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any indebtedness. Any rating can be revised upward or downward or withdrawn at any time by a rating agency if it determines that the circumstances warrant such a change.

Other Considerations

administrative, civil and criminal penalties, imposition of injunctions delaying or prohibiting certain activities and the need to perform investigatory and remedial activities. Although we believe our operations are in material compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, risks of significant costs and liabilities are inherent in pipeline operations, and we cannot assure you that significant costs and liabilities will not be incurred. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly strict environmental laws and regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from our operations, could result in substantial costs and liabilities to us. We believe that changes in environmental laws and regulations will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows in the near term.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Forward-Looking Statements

The matters discussed herein include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of various provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this document that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such things as estimated future capital expenditures (including the amount and nature thereof), business strategy and measures to implement strategy, competitive strengths, goals, expansion and growth of our business and operations, plans, references to future success, references to intentions as to future matters and other such matters are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform with our expectations and predictions is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including general economic, market or business

conditions, the opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and pursued by us, competitive actions by other pipeline companies, changes in laws or regulations, and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements made in this document are qualified by these cautionary statements and we cannot assure you that actual results or developments that we anticipate will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected consequences to or effect on us or our business or operations. For additional discussion of such risks and uncertainties, see our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003, and other filings we have made with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We may be exposed to market risk through changes in commodity prices and interest rates. We do not have foreign exchange risks. Our Risk Management Committee has established policies to monitor and control these market risks. The Risk Management Committee is comprised, in part, of senior executives of the Company.

We have utilized and expect to continue to utilize interest rate swap agreements to hedge a portion of our fair value risks. Interest rate swap agreements are used to manage the fixed interest rate mix of our debt portfolio and overall cost of borrowing. The interest rate swap related to our fair value risk is intended to reduce our exposure to changes in the fair value of our fixed rate Senior Notes. The interest rate swap agreement involves the periodic exchange of payments without the exchange of the notional amount upon which the payments are based. The related amount payable to or receivable from counterparties is included as an adjustment to accrued interest.

At June 30, 2004, we had outstanding $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. At June 30, 2004, the estimated fair values of the 6.45% Senior Notes and 7.51% Senior Notes were approximately $185.5 million and $211.7 million, respectively.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The principal executive officer and principal financial officer of the Company, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) as of June 30, 2004, have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and

effective to ensure that material information relating to us and our consolidated subsidiaries would be made known to them by others within those entities.

During the second quarter of 2004, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, those internal controls subsequent to the date of the evaluation. As a result, no corrective actions were required or undertaken.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We have been, in the ordinary course of business, a defendant in various lawsuits and a party to various other legal proceedings, some of which are covered in whole or in part by insurance. We believe that the outcome of these lawsuits and other proceedings will not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. See discussion of legal proceedings in Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
