NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
1. General
Organization
Kinder Morgan Management, LLC is a publicly traded Delaware limited liability company that was formed on February 14, 2001. Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc., of which Kinder Morgan, Inc. (“KMI”) indirectly owns all of the outstanding common equity, is the general partner of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. (“KMP”) and owns all of our voting shares. Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc., pursuant to a delegation of control agreement among us, Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc. and KMP, has delegated to us, to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and KMP’s limited partnership agreement, all of its rights and powers to manage and control the business and affairs of KMP, subject to the general partner’s right to approve specified actions. We are a limited partner in KMP through our ownership of its i-units, and manage and control its business and affairs pursuant to the delegation of control agreement. Our success is dependent upon our operation and management of KMP and its resulting performance. See Note 5 for summarized income statement information for KMP. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Company” are intended to mean Kinder Morgan Management, LLC and its consolidated subsidiary, Kinder Morgan Services LLC.
We have prepared our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). These rules and regulations conform to the accounting principles contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification, the single source of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and referred to in this report as the Codification. Under such rules and regulations, we have condensed or omitted certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with the Codification. We believe, however, that our disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.
The consolidated financial statements reflect normal adjustments, and also recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our financial results for the interim periods. You should read these interim consolidated financial statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (“2009 Form 10-K”) and KMP’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (“KMP 2009 Form 10-K”) and KMP’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Accounting for Investments in Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P.
We use the equity method of accounting for our investment in KMP, a publicly traded limited partnership, and its common units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “KMP.” We record, in the period in which it is earned, our share of the earnings of KMP attributable to the i-units we own. We receive distributions from KMP in the form of additional i-units, which increase the number of i-units we own. We issue additional shares (or fractions thereof) to our existing shareholders in an amount equal to the additional i-units received from KMP. At September 30, 2010, through our ownership of KMP i-units, we owned approximately 28.9% of all of KMP’s outstanding limited partner interests.
2. Earnings per Share
Both basic and diluted earnings per share are computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during each period, adjusted for share splits. There are no securities outstanding that may be converted into or exercised for shares.
3. Share Distributions
Under the terms of our limited liability company agreement, except in connection with our liquidation, we do not pay distributions on our shares in cash but instead make distributions on our shares in additional shares or fractions of shares. At the same time Kinder Morgan Energy Partners makes a distribution on its common units and i-units, we distribute on each of our shares that fraction of a share determined by dividing the amount of the cash distribution to be made by Kinder Morgan Energy Partners on each common unit by the average closing market price of a share determined for the ten-trading day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for our shares. The following table presents share distributions we have paid in 2010.

(a)
|
This is the cash distribution paid to each common unit of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners during the quarter indicated and is used to calculate our distribution of shares as discussed above. Because of this calculation, the market value of the shares distributed on the date of distribution may be less or more than the cash distribution per common unit of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners.
|
On November 12, 2010, we will pay a share distribution of 0.017844 shares per outstanding share (1,611,255 total shares) to shareholders of record as of October 29, 2010. This distribution was determined by dividing:
|
|
▪
|
$1.11, the cash amount distributed per KMP common unit
|
by
|
|
▪
|
$62.207, the average of our shares’ closing market prices from October 13-26, 2010, the ten consecutive trading days preceding the date on which our shares began to trade ex-dividend under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange.
|
4. Business Activities and Related Party Transactions
We do not receive a fee for our services under the delegation of control agreement, nor do we receive any margin or profit when we are reimbursed for expenses incurred. We incurred, on behalf of KMP, approximately $69.4 million and $220.4 million of expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and approximately $59.7 million and $199.1 million of expenses during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. The expense reimbursements by KMP to us are accounted for as a reduction to the expense incurred by us. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, $5.8 million and $9.9 million, respectively, primarily receivables from KMP, are recorded in the caption “Accounts receivable, related party” in the accompanying interim Consolidated Balance Sheets.
One of our affiliates provides, and incurs expense with respect to, payroll services to KMP. These expenses are reimbursed by KMP at cost. These expenses totaled approximately $96.7 million and $291.3 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, and $85.5 million and $260.2 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively.

Our net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 was $8.8 million and $51.6 million, respectively, and $21.3 million and $43.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. Our net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes a reduction of $29.0 million, representing our share of KMP’s $158.0 million expense associated with rate case liability adjustments, net of income taxes. Our net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 also includes a $30.8 million after-tax increase due to higher KMP limited partners net income as a result of the $168.3 million decrease in the general partners incentive resulting from an interim capital transaction (“ICT Distribution”). Under an ICT Distribution, KMP’s general partner receives no incentive distribution. Please see Note 10 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in KMP’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010 for a further description of this ICT Distribution. This information should be read in conjunction with the KMP 2009 Form 10-K and KMP’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2010.
Notwithstanding the consolidation of KMP and its subsidiaries into KMI’s financial statements, except as explicitly disclosed, KMI is not liable for, and its assets are not available to satisfy, the obligations of KMP and/or its subsidiaries and vice versa. Responsibility for settlements of obligations reflected in KMI’s or KMP’s financial statements are a legal determination based on the entity that incurs the liability.

7. Income Taxes
We are a limited liability company that has elected to be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. Our income taxes consist solely of deferred income tax. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the basis of our assets and liabilities for financial and tax reporting purposes. We have excluded non-deductible goodwill associated with our investment in KMP. Changes in tax legislation are included in the relevant computations in the period in which such changes are effective. Currently, our only such temporary difference results from our investment in KMP.
Income taxes included in our interim Consolidated Statements of Income are as follows (in millions, except percentages):

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, our effective tax rate was higher than the statutory federal rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes, partially offset by an increase in our share of non-deductible goodwill associated with our investment in KMP. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, our effective tax rate was higher than the statutory federal rate primarily due to state income taxes and the impact on deferred taxes of an increase in our state tax rate.
Our effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2009 was higher than the statutory federal rate of 35% primarily due to state income taxes and a decrease in our share of non-deductible goodwill associated with our investment in KMP. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 our effective tax rate was higher than the statutory federal rate primarily due to (i) state income taxes (ii) a decrease in our share of non-deductible goodwill associated with our investment in KMP and (iii) the impact on deferred taxes of an increase in our state tax rate.

Kinder Morgan Management, LLC Form 10-Q
General
We are a publicly traded Delaware limited liability company, formed on February 14, 2001, that has elected to be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. Our voting shares are owned by Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc., of which Kinder Morgan, Inc. (“KMI”) owns all the outstanding common equity. Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc. is the general partner of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P. (“KMP”).
Business
Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc. has delegated to us, to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and KMP’s limited partnership agreement, all of its rights and powers to manage and control the business and affairs of KMP, subject to the general partner’s right to approve specified actions.
Financial Condition
As indicated by the accompanying interim Consolidated Balance Sheets, there has been no material change in our financial condition during the current quarter.
Results of Operations
Our results of operations consist of the offsetting expenses and receipts associated with our managing and controlling the business and affairs of KMP and our equity in the earnings of KMP attributable to the i-units we own. At September 30, 2010, through our ownership of i-units, we owned approximately 28.9% of all of KMP’s outstanding limited partner interests. We use the equity method of accounting for our investment in KMP and record earnings as described below. Our percentage ownership in KMP changes over time upon the distribution of additional i-units to us or upon issuances of additional common units or other equity securities by KMP.
Our earnings, as reported in the accompanying interim Consolidated Statements of Income, represent equity in earnings of KMP attributable to the i-units we own, reduced by a deferred income tax provision and adjusted for the purchase method of accounting push-down effect on us from KMI’s Going Private transaction, further described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2009 Form 10-K. The deferred income tax provision is calculated based on the book/tax basis difference created by our recognition, under GAAP, of our share of the earnings of KMP.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our authorized capital structure consists of two classes of interests: (1) our listed shares and (2) our voting shares, collectively referred to in this document as our “shares.” Additional classes of interests may be approved by our board and holders of a majority of our shares, excluding shares held by KMI and its affiliates. The number of our shares outstanding will at all times equal the number of i-units of KMP, all of which we own. Under the terms of our limited liability company agreement, except in connection with our liquidation, we do not pay distributions on our shares in cash but we make distributions on our shares in additional shares or fractions of shares. At the same time KMP makes a distribution on its common units and i-units, we distribute on each of our shares that fraction of a share determined by dividing the amount of the cash distribution to be made by KMP on each common unit by the average closing market price of a share determined for a ten-trading day period ending on the trading day immediately prior to the ex-dividend date for our shares. See Note 3 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of our share distribution activity.
We expect that our expenditures associated with managing and controlling the business and affairs of KMP and the reimbursement for these expenditures received by us from KMP will continue to be equal. As stated above, the distributions we expect to receive on the i-units we own will be in the form of additional i-units. Therefore, we expect neither to generate nor to require significant amounts of cash in ongoing operations. We currently have no debt and have no plans to incur any debt. Any cash received from the sale of additional shares will immediately be
11
Kinder Morgan Management, LLC Form 10-Q
used to purchase additional i-units. Accordingly, we do not anticipate any other sources or needs for additional liquidity.
None.

Because of these uncertainties, you should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.
See Item 1A “Risk Factors” of our 2009 Form 10-K and Part II, Item 1A of this report for a more detailed description of these and other factors that may affect the forward-looking statements. When considering forward-looking statements, one should keep in mind the risk factors described in our 2009 Form 10-K and the KMP 2009 Form 10-K. The risk factors could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement. We disclaim any obligation, other than as required by applicable law, to update the above list or to announce publicly the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements to reflect future events or developments.
The nature of our business and operations is such that no activities or transactions of the type requiring discussion under this item are conducted or entered into.

Kinder Morgan Management, LLC Form 10-Q
As of September 30, 2010, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives. Based upon and as of the date of the evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported as and when required, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
We are not a party to any litigation.
Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes in or additions to the risk factors disclosed in Item 1A “Risk Factors” in our 2009 Form 10-K.
New regulations or restrictions on drilling in the Gulf of Mexico that cause delays in or deter new drilling could adversely affect KMP’s business.
In response to the recent oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation and Enforcement has issued and is expected to issue additional, new safety and environmental guidelines and/or regulations for drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, and potentially in other geographic regions, and may take other steps that could increase the costs of exploration and production, reduce the area of operations and result in permitting delays. These actions could cause delays or deter new drilling in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico or other areas that supply hydrocarbon volumes to KMP’s pipelines and facilities. As a result, future natural gas and crude oil volumes to KMP’s pipelines and facilities may decline or be lower than previously anticipated, which may adversely affect KMP’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
