The membership interests of Dan Duncan LLC are owned of record by a voting trust, the current trustees (“DD LLC Trustees”) of which are: (i) Randa Duncan Williams, who is also a director of Enterprise GP; (ii) Dr. Ralph S.

(“Duncan Energy Partners”) and DEP Holdings, LLC (“DEP GP,” the general partner of Duncan Energy Partners) entered into a definitive merger agreement (the “Duncan Merger Agreement”).  In September 2011, the Duncan Merger Agreement was approved by the unitholders of Duncan Energy Partners and the merger of Duncan MergerCo with and into Duncan Energy Partners and related transactions were completed, with Duncan Energy Partners surviving such merger as our wholly owned subsidiary (collectively, we refer to these transactions as the “Duncan Merger”).  See Note 1 for additional information regarding the Duncan Merger.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

to own and operate certain natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) related businesses of EPCO and are now a leading North American provider of midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, refined products and petrochemicals.  Our midstream energy asset network links producers of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil from some of the largest supply basins in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada and the Gulf of Mexico with domestic consumers and international markets.  Our assets include approximately 50,700 miles of onshore and offshore pipelines; 190 million barrels (“MMBbls”) of storage capacity for NGLs, crude oil, refined products and petrochemicals; and 14 billion cubic feet (“Bcf”) of natural gas storage capacity. 

Our integrated midstream energy operations include: natural gas gathering, treating, processing, transportation and storage; NGL transportation, fractionation, storage, and import and export terminals; crude oil and refined products transportation, storage, and terminals; offshore production platforms; petrochemical transportation and services; and a marine transportation business that operates primarily on the U.S. inland and Intracoastal Waterway systems and in the Gulf of Mexico.   We currently have five active reportable business segments: (i) NGL Pipelines & Services; (ii) Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services; (iii) Onshore Crude Oil Pipelines & Services; (iv) Offshore Pipelines & Services; and (v) Petrochemical & Refined Products Services.  All activities included in our sixth reportable business segment, Other Investments, ceased on January 18, 2012, which was the date we discontinued using the equity method to account for our previously held investment in Energy Transfer Equity (see “Liquidation of Investment in Energy Transfer Equity” under Note 7).

We are 100% owned by our limited partners from an economic perspective.  We are managed and controlled by Enterprise GP, which has a non-economic general partner interest in us.  We, Enterprise GP, EPCO and Dan Duncan LLC are affiliates and under the collective common control of the DD LLC Trustees and the EPCO Trustees.  We have no employees.  All of our operating functions and general and administrative support services are provided by employees of EPCO pursuant to an administrative services agreement (the “ASA”) or by other service providers.  See Note 12 for information regarding the ASA and other related party matters.

Completion of Duncan Merger

On September 7, 2011, the Duncan Merger Agreement was approved by the unitholders of Duncan Energy Partners and the merger of Duncan MergerCo and Duncan Energy Partners and related transactions were completed, with Duncan Energy Partners surviving such merger as our wholly owned subsidiary.  Each issued and outstanding common unit of Duncan Energy Partners was cancelled and converted into the right to receive common units representing limited partner interests in Enterprise based on an exchange ratio of 1.01 Enterprise common units for each Duncan Energy Partners common unit.  Enterprise issued 24,277,310 of its common units (net of fractional common units cashed out) as consideration in the Duncan Merger.  No Enterprise common units were issued to Enterprise or its subsidiaries as merger consideration.  Since we historically consolidated Duncan Energy Partners for financial reporting purposes, the Duncan Merger did not change the basis of presentation of our historical financial statements.


Note 2.  General Accounting Matters

Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year of 2012.  In our opinion, the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for fair presentation.  Although we believe the disclosures in these financial statements are adequate and make the information presented not misleading, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

These Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the Notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 (the “2011 Form 10-K”) filed with the SEC on February 29, 2012.

Contingencies

Certain conditions may exist as of the date our consolidated financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to us but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur.  Management has regular quarterly litigation reviews, including updates from legal counsel, to assess the need for accounting recognition or disclosure of these contingencies, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise in judgment.  In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against us or unasserted claims that may result in such proceedings, our management and legal counsel evaluate the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or unasserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.

We accrue an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum of the range is accrued.  We do not record a contingent liability when the likelihood of loss is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when it is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote.

For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the impact would be material, we disclose the nature of the contingency and, if feasible, an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss.

Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed.  See Note 14 for additional information regarding our contingencies.

Derivative Instruments

We use derivative instruments such as futures, swaps, options, forward contracts and other arrangements to manage price risks associated with inventories, firm commitments, interest rates, foreign currencies and certain anticipated future transactions.  To qualify for hedge accounting, the hedged item must expose us to risk and the related derivative instrument must reduce that exposure and meet specific hedge documentation requirements related to designation dates, expectations for hedge effectiveness and the probability that hedged future transactions will occur as forecasted.  We formally designate derivative instruments as hedges and document and assess their effectiveness at inception of the hedge and on a monthly or quarterly basis thereafter.  Forecasted transactions are evaluated for the probability of occurrence and are periodically back-tested once the forecasted period has passed to determine whether similarly forecasted transactions are probable of occurring in the future.

For certain of our physical forward commodity derivative contracts, we apply the normal purchase/normal sale exception, whereby changes in the mark-to-market values of such contracts are not recognized in income. As a result, the revenues and expenses associated with such physical contract transactions are recognized during the period when volumes are physically delivered or received.  Physical forward commodity contracts are evaluated for the probability of future delivery and are periodically back-tested once the forecasted period has passed to determine whether similar forward contracts are probable of physically delivering in the future.

See Note 4 for additional information regarding our derivative instruments and related interest rate and commodity hedging activities.

Estimates

Preparing our consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates that affect amounts presented in the financial statements.  Our most significant estimates relate to (i) the useful lives and depreciation/amortization methods used for fixed and identifiable intangible assets; (ii) measurement of fair value and projections used in impairment testing of fixed and intangible assets (including goodwill); (iii) contingencies; and (iv) revenue and expense accruals.

Actual results could differ materially from our estimates.  On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates based on currently available information.  Any changes in the facts and circumstances underlying our estimates may require us to update such estimates, which could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Income Tax Benefit

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recognized a net income tax benefit of $25.9 million, which was primarily due to a $46.5 million net income tax benefit related to the conversion of certain of our subsidiaries to limited liability companies during the first quarter of 2012, partially offset by accruals for the Texas Margin Tax.  The $46.5 million net income tax benefit is attributable to the difference between deferred income taxes accrued by the applicable subsidiaries through the date of conversion and any current income tax due in connection with the conversions.

Recent Accounting Developments

Accounting standard setting organizations have been very active in recent years.  Recently, they issued new and revised accounting guidance on a number of topics, including disclosures related to offsetting assets and liabilities.  We do not believe that adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

The fair value of equity-classified awards (e.g., restricted common unit and unit option awards) is amortized to earnings over the requisite service or vesting period.  Compensation expense for liability-classified awards (e.g., UARs and phantom units) is recognized over the requisite service or vesting period based on the fair value of the award remeasured at each reporting period.  Liability-classified awards are settled in cash upon vesting.

At June 30, 2012, EPCO’s significant long-term incentive plans applicable to us were the Enterprise Products 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“1998 Plan”) and the Amended and Restated 2008 Enterprise Products Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2008 Plan”).  In addition, there were unvested awards outstanding under an inactive plan, the Enterprise Products 2006 TPP Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”).  After giving effect to awards granted under the 1998 Plan and 2008 Plan through June 30, 2012, a total of 749,016 and 5,038,468 additional common units could be issued under these plans, respectively.
 
Restricted Common Unit Awards

Restricted common unit awards allow recipients to acquire our common units (at no cost to the recipient apart from service or other conditions) once a defined vesting period expires, subject to customary forfeiture provisions.  As used in the context of EPCO’s long-term incentive plans, the term “restricted common unit” represents a time-vested unit.  Such awards are non-vested until the required service period expires.  Restricted common unit awards issued in 2012 generally vest at a rate of 25% per year beginning one year after the grant date.  Restricted common units are included in the number of common units presented on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fair value of a restricted common unit award is based on the market price per unit of the underlying security on the date of grant.  Compensation expense is recognized based on the grant date fair value, net of an allowance for estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service or vesting period.

(1)   Determined by dividing the aggregate grant date fair value of awards (before an allowance for forfeitures) by the number of awards issued.
(2)   The aggregate grant date fair value of restricted common unit awards issued in 2012 was $79.9 million based on a grant date market price ranging from $51.92 to $52.26 per unit. An estimated annual forfeiture rate of 3.25% was applied to these awards.
(3)   Includes awards granted to the independent directors of the board of directors of Enterprise GP as part of their annual compensation for 2012. A total of 10,038 restricted common units were issued in February 2012 to the independent directors of Enterprise GP that immediately vested upon issuance.
 

Typically, each recipient is also entitled to nonforfeitable cash distributions equal to the product of the number of restricted common units outstanding for the participant and the cash distribution per unit paid to limited partners.  Since these restricted common units are participating securities, such distributions are included in “Cash distributions paid to limited partners” as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.

For the EPCO group of companies, the unrecognized compensation cost associated with restricted common unit awards was an aggregate $90.3 million at June 30, 2012, of which our allocated share of the cost is currently estimated to be $85.7 million.  We expect to recognize our share of the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of 2.0 years.

Unit Option Awards

EPCO’s long-term incentive plans provide for the issuance of non-qualified incentive options.  These unit option awards are denominated in our common units.  When issued, the exercise price of each unit option grant may be no less than the market price of our common units on the date of grant.  In general, option grants have a vesting period of four years from the date of grant and expire at the end of the calendar year following the year of vesting (e.g., an option vesting on May 29, 2011 will expire on December 31, 2012).  However, unit options only become exercisable at certain times during the calendar year following the year in which they vest (typically the months of February, May, August and November).

For the EPCO group of companies, the unrecognized compensation cost associated with unit option awards was an aggregate $2.2 million at June 30, 2012, of which our allocated share of the cost is currently estimated to be $2.0 million.  We expect to recognize our share of the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years.

Unit Appreciation Rights

At December 31, 2011, there were 107,328 UARs outstanding that had been granted under the 2006 Plan.  The accrued liability for UARs at December 31, 2011 was $0.5 million.  All of these awards vested in May 2012.   The accrued liability for UARs in May 2012 (i.e., immediately before vesting) was $1.4 million.  While these awards were outstanding, they were accounted for as liability awards.


Note 4.  Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Fair Value Measurements

In the normal course of our business operations, we are exposed to certain risks, including changes in interest rates and commodity prices.  In order to manage risks associated with certain anticipated future transactions, we use derivative instruments.  Substantially all of our derivatives are used for non-trading activities.

We are required to recognize derivative instruments at fair value as either assets or liabilities on our balance sheet unless such instruments meet certain normal purchase/normal sale criteria.  While all derivatives are required to be reported at fair value on the balance sheet, changes in fair value of derivative

 
13

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

instruments are reported in different ways, depending on the nature and effectiveness of the hedging activities to which they relate.  An effective hedge relationship is one in which the change in fair value of a derivative instrument can be expected to offset 80% to 125% of the changes in fair value of a hedged item at inception and throughout the life of the hedging relationship.  Any ineffectiveness associated with a hedge relationship is recognized in earnings immediately.  Ineffectiveness can be caused by, among other things, changes in the timing of forecasted transactions or a mismatch of terms between the derivative instrument and the hedged item.

A contract designated as a cash flow hedge of an anticipated transaction that is not probable of occurring is immediately recognized in earnings.

Certain of our derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment; therefore, they are accounted for using mark-to-market accounting.

Interest Rate Hedging Activities

We may utilize interest rate swaps, forward starting swaps and similar derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates charged on borrowings under certain consolidated debt agreements.  The following table summarizes our portfolio of interest rate swaps at June 30, 2012:

Hedged Transaction

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 reflects a benefit of $2.2 million and an expense of $2.2 million, respectively, attributable to interest rate swaps.   For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, such swaps resulted in a benefit in interest expense of $5.0 million and $7.5 million, respectively.

In February 2012, we settled 11 fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps having an aggregate notional amount of $800.0 million, resulting in gains totaling $37.7 million.  As fair value hedges, the unamortized portion of these gains are a component of long-term debt (see Note 9) and are being amortized to earnings (as a decrease in interest expense) using the effective interest method over the forecasted hedged period of approximately three years.

In connection with the issuance of Senior Notes EE in February 2012 (see Note 9), we settled ten forward starting swaps having an aggregate notional amount of $500.0 million, resulting in cash losses totaling $115.3 million. These losses are reflected in other comprehensive income and are being amortized to earnings (as an increase in interest expense) over the forecasted hedge period of ten years using the effective interest method.

In connection with EPO’s agreement to issue Senior Notes FF and Senior Notes GG in August 2012 (see Note 18), we settled seven forward starting swaps having an aggregate notional amount of $350.0 million, resulting in cash losses of $70.2 million.  Accumulated other comprehensive income as of June 30, 2012 includes $63.9 million of the loss, with the remaining $6.3 million of loss attributable to the period June 30, 2012 through the settlement date of August 1, 2012.  The total loss recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income will be amortized to earnings (as an increase in interest expense) over the forecasted hedged period of ten years using the effective interest method.

Although we incurred cash losses upon settlement of our forward starting swaps in February 2012 and August 2012, we benefited from the exceptionally low interest rate environment during these periods relative to the interest rates in effect at the time we entered into the swaps.

Commodity Hedging Activities

The prices of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, refined products and certain petrochemical products are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market conditions and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control.  In order to manage such price risks, we enter into commodity derivative instruments such as physical forward contracts, futures contracts, fixed-for-float swaps, basis swaps and options contracts.  The following table summarizes our commodity derivative instruments outstanding at June 30, 2012:

§  
The objective of our natural gas processing strategy is to hedge an amount of gross margin associated with our natural gas processing activities.  We achieve this objective by using physical and financial instruments to lock in the purchase prices of natural gas consumed as PTR and the

sales prices of the related NGL products.  This program consists of (i) the forward sale of a portion of our expected equity NGL production at fixed prices through December 2012, which is achieved through the use of forward physical sales contracts and commodity derivative instruments and (ii) the purchase of commodity derivative instruments having a notional amount based on the volume of natural gas expected to be consumed as PTR in the production of such equity NGL production.

§  
The objective of our NGL, refined products and crude oil sales hedging program is to hedge the margins of anticipated future sales of inventory by locking in sales prices through the use of forward physical sales contracts and commodity derivative instruments.

§  
The objective of our natural gas and refined products inventory hedging program is to hedge the fair value of natural gas and refined products currently held in inventory by locking in the sales price of the inventory through the use of commodity derivative instruments.

Fair Value Measurements

Our fair value estimates are based on either (i) actual market data or (ii) assumptions that other market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including estimates of risk, in the principal market of the asset or liability at a specified measure date.  Recognized valuation techniques employ inputs such as contractual prices, quoted market prices or rates, operating costs, discount factors and business growth rates.  These inputs may be either readily observable, corroborated by market data or generally unobservable.  In developing our estimates of fair value, we endeavor to utilize the best information available and apply market-based data to the extent possible.  Accordingly, we utilize valuation techniques (such as the market approach) that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

A three-tier hierarchy has been established that classifies fair value amounts recognized in the financial statements based on the observability of inputs used to estimate such fair values.  The hierarchy considers fair value amounts based on observable inputs (Levels 1 and 2) to be more reliable and predictable than those based primarily on unobservable inputs (Level 3).  At each balance sheet reporting date, we categorize our financial assets and liabilities using this hierarchy.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the carrying values of our financial assets and liabilities at June 30, 2012.  These assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis and are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their respective fair value.  Our assessment of the relative significance of such inputs requires judgment.

(2)   Transfers out of Level 3 into Level 2 during 2011 were primarily due to the change in observability of forward NGL prices.

We believe certain forward commodity prices are the most significant unobservable inputs in determining our recurring Level 3 fair value measurements at June 30, 2012.  In general, changes in the price of the underlying commodity increases or decreases the fair value of a commodity derivative depending on whether the derivative was purchased or sold.  We generally expect changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments to be offset by corresponding changes in the fair value of our hedged exposures.

We have a risk management policy that covers our Level 3 commodity derivatives.  Governance and oversight of risk management activities for these commodities are provided by our CEO with guidance and support from a risk management committee (“RMC”), which meets quarterly (or on a more frequent basis if needed).  Members of executive management attend the RMC meetings, which are chaired by the head of our commodities risk control group.  This group is responsible for preparing and distributing daily reports and risk analysis to members of the RMC and other appropriate members of management.  These reports include mark-to-market valuations with the one-day and month-to-date changes in fair values.  This group also develops and validates forward curves used to determine the fair values of our Level 3 commodity derivatives.  These forward curves are based on published indexes, market quotes or are derived from other available inputs.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, property, plant and equipment with no future value and a carrying amount of $14.2 million was written-off, resulting in non-cash asset impairment charges for the period.  In addition, long-lived assets held for sale with a carrying value of $0.8 million were written down to their fair value of $0.5 million, resulting in non-cash asset impairment charges of $0.3 million, which were included in earnings for the period.  Long-lived assets held for sale are a component of “Other assets” as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  We did not record any non-cash asset impairment charges during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Forecast data and other assumptions supporting the fair value of long-lived assets being tested for impairment are based on the nonfinancial assets’ highest and best use, which includes estimated probabilities where multiple cash flow outcomes are possible.  Such probability weights are generally obtained from business management personnel having oversight responsibilities for the assets in question.  Key commercial assumptions (e.g., anticipated operating margins, throughput or processing volume growth rates and timing of cash flows) that represent Level 3 unobservable inputs and test results are reviewed and certified by members of senior management.

Other Fair Value Information

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash balances), accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values based on their short-term nature.  The estimated total fair value of our fixed-rate debt obligations was approximately $16.27 billion and $15.76 billion at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  The aggregate carrying value of these debt obligations was $14.58 billion and $14.33 billion at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.  These values are based on quoted market prices for such debt or debt of similar terms and maturities (Level 2), our credit standing and the credit standing of our counterparties.  Changes in market rates of interest affect the fair value of our fixed-rate debt.  The carrying values of our variable-rate long-term debt obligations approximate their fair values since the associated interest rates are market-based.  We do not have any long-term investments in debt or equity securities recorded at fair value.

  $ 892.9     $ 1,111.7  

In those instances where we take ownership of inventory volumes through percent-of-liquids contracts and similar arrangements (as opposed to outright purchases from third parties for cash), these volumes are valued at market-based prices during the month in which they are acquired.

Due to fluctuating commodity prices, we recognize lower of cost or market adjustments when the carrying value of our available-for-sale inventories exceeds their net realizable value.  These non-cash charges are a component of cost of sales in the period they are recognized.  To the extent our commodity hedging strategies address inventory-related price risks and are successful, these inventory valuation adjustments are mitigated or offset.  See Note 4 for a description of our commodity hedging activities.

(1)   Depreciation expense is a component of “Costs and expenses” as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations.
(2)   We capitalize interest cost incurred on funds used to construct property, plant and equipment. The capitalized interest is recorded as part of the asset to which it relates and is amortized over the asset’s estimated useful life as a component of depreciation expense. Capitalized interest reduces interest expense during the period it is recorded.
 

Asset Retirement Obligations

We record asset retirement obligations (“AROs”) related to legal requirements to perform retirement activities as specified in contractual arrangements and/or governmental regulations.  When an ARO is incurred, we record a liability for the ARO and capitalize an equal amount as an increase in the carrying value of the related long-lived asset.  Over time, the ARO liability is accreted to its present value (through accretion expense) and the capitalized amount is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the related long-term asset.   Property, plant and equipment at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 includes $42.5 million and $37.7 million, respectively, of asset retirement costs capitalized as an increase in the associated long-lived asset.

Liquidation of Investment in Energy Transfer Equity

The Other Investments segment included our noncontrolling ownership interest in Energy Transfer Equity, which was accounted for using the equity method until January 18, 2012.  We sold 4,450,000 Energy Transfer Equity common units during the second quarter of 2011 for net cash proceeds of $165.8 million and recorded a gain of $5.4 million on the sale.  Since our ownership interest in Energy Transfer Equity exceeded 3% throughout calendar year 2011, we accounted for our investment in Energy Transfer Equity using the equity method and included gains on the sale of this asset in operating income. At December 31, 2011, we owned 29,303,514 common units of Energy Transfer Equity.

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

On January 18, 2012, we sold 22,762,636 of these common units in a private transaction, which generated cash proceeds of approximately $825.1 million and a gain on the sale of $27.5 million.  Following completion of the January 18 transaction, our ownership interest in Energy Transfer Equity was below 3%, and we discontinued using the equity method to account for this investment and began accounting for it as an investment in available-for-sale equity securities.  For the period January 1, 2012 to January 18, 2012, we recorded $2.4 million of equity earnings from Energy Transfer Equity, which is reflected in our Other Investments segment.

The remaining 6,540,878 units were sold systematically through April 27, 2012 until completely liquidated.  These post-January 18 sales generated total cash proceeds of approximately $270.2 million and gains of $41.3 million.  The aggregate $68.8 million in gains on the 2012 sales, of which $15.5 million are attributed to sales during the second quarter of 2012, are presented as a component of “Other income.”  Proceeds from these sales were used for general company purposes, including funding capital expenditures.

All activities included in our sixth reportable business segment, Other Investments, ceased on January 18, 2012, which was the date we discontinued using the equity method to account for our previously held investment in Energy Transfer Equity.  See Note 11 for additional information regarding our business segments.

Formation of Front Range Joint Venture

In April 2012, we, along with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and DCP Midstream, LLC formed a new joint venture, Front Range, to design and construct a new NGL pipeline that will originate in the Denver-Julesburg Basin (the “DJ Basin”) in Weld County, Colorado and extend approximately 435 miles to Skellytown in Carson County, Texas.  Each party holds a one-third ownership interest in the joint venture.  The Front Range Pipeline, with connections to our Mid-America Pipeline System and the Texas Express Pipeline, is expected to provide producers in the DJ Basin with access to the Gulf Coast, the largest NGL market in the U.S.  Depending on shipper interest in a binding open commitment period that commenced in April 2012, initial capacity on the Front Range Pipeline is expected to be approximately 150 MBPD, which can be readily expanded to approximately 230 MBPD.  We will construct and operate the pipeline, which is expected to begin service in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Apart from that discussed below and routine fluctuations in the balance of our revolving credit facility, there have been no significant changes in the terms or amounts of our consolidated debt obligations since those reported in our 2011 Form 10-K.

Issuance of Senior Notes EE in February 2012

In February 2012, EPO issued $750.0 million in principal amount of 30-year unsecured Senior Notes EE at 99.542% of their principal amount.  Senior Notes EE have a fixed interest rate of 4.85% and mature on August 15, 2042.  Enterprise guarantees the notes through an unconditional guarantee on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis.  Net proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes EE were used to repay outstanding amounts on the maturity of our $490.5 million principal amount of Senior Notes S due February 2012 and our $9.5 million principal amount of TEPPCO Senior Notes due February 2012 and for general company purposes.

Senior Notes EE rank equal with EPO’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.  They are senior to any existing and future subordinated indebtedness of EPO.  Senior Notes EE are subject to make-whole redemption rights and were issued under indentures containing certain covenants, which generally restrict EPO’s ability, with certain exceptions, to incur debt secured by liens and engage in sale and leaseback transactions.

In August 2012, EPO agreed to issue $650 million in principal amount of Senior Notes FF and $1.1 billion in principal amount of Senior Notes GG.  See Note 18 for information regarding this subsequent event.

Commercial Paper Program

On August 8, 2012, EPO established a commercial paper program, under which EPO may issue up to $2.0 billion of short-term commercial paper notes outstanding at any time.  See Note 18 for information regarding this subsequent event.

Letters of Credit

At June 30, 2012, EPO had $77.5 million in letters of credit outstanding related to its commodity derivative instruments.  These letters of credit do not reduce the amount available for borrowing under EPO’s $3.5 Billion Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility.

Parent-Subsidiary Guarantor Relationships

Enterprise Products Partners L.P. acts as guarantor of the consolidated debt obligations of EPO with the exception of the remaining debt obligations of TEPPCO.  If EPO were to default on any of its guaranteed debt, Enterprise Products Partners L.P. would be responsible for full and unconditional repayment of that obligation.

During the six months ended June 30, 2012, 1,236,352 restricted common unit awards held by EPCO employees vested and converted to common units.  Of this amount, 373,391 common units were sold back to us by the recipients to cover related withholding tax requirements.  We cancelled such treasury units immediately upon acquisition.

We may issue additional equity or debt securities to assist us in meeting our future liquidity and capital spending requirements.  We have a universal shelf registration statement (the “2010 Shelf”) on file with the SEC.  The 2010 Shelf allows Enterprise and EPO (on a standalone basis) to issue an unlimited amount of equity and debt securities, respectively.  EPO utilized the 2010 Shelf to issue its Senior Notes EE in February 2012 (see Note 9) and will use the 2010 Shelf to issue additional senior notes in August 2012 (see Note 18).

In May 2012, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with certain broker-dealers pursuant to which we may offer and sell up to $1.0 billion of our common units in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions and other factors at the time of such offerings.  Pursuant to this “at-the-market” program, we may sell common units under the agreement from time-to-time by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions through the NYSE at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed to with the broker-dealer parties to the agreement.  A registration statement covering the issuance of common units pursuant to this agreement was filed with the SEC in March 2012.  There were no issuances and sales under this agreement as of June 30, 2012.

We also have registration statements on file with the SEC collectively authorizing the issuance of up to 70,000,000 of our common units in connection with a distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”).  The DRIP provides unitholders of record and beneficial owners of our common units a voluntary means by which they can increase the number of our common units they own by reinvesting the quarterly cash

distributions they would otherwise receive from us into the purchase of additional common units.  After taking into account the number of common units issued under the DRIP through June 30, 2012, we may issue an additional 24,974,588 common units under this plan.  A total of 1,198,552 common units were issued during the six months ended June 30, 2012 under our DRIP, which generated net cash proceeds of $58.0 million.

In addition to the DRIP, we have a registration statement on file with the SEC authorizing the issuance of up to 440,879 of our common units in connection with an employee unit purchase plan (“EUPP”).  After taking into account the number of common units issued under the EUPP through June 30, 2012, we may issue an additional 358,791 common units under this plan.  A total of 72,057 common units were issued during the six months ended June 30, 2012 under our EUPP, which generated net cash proceeds of $3.7 million.

The net cash proceeds we received from the DRIP and EUPP during the six months ended June 30, 2012 were used to temporarily reduce borrowings outstanding under EPO’s revolving credit facility and for general company purposes.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) primarily reflects the effective portion of the gain or loss on derivative instruments designated and qualified as cash flow hedges.  Gain or loss amounts related to cash flow hedges recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) are reclassified to earnings in the same period(s) in which the underlying hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings.  If it becomes probable that a forecasted transaction will not occur, the related net gain or loss in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is immediately reclassified into earnings.

Note 11.  Business Segments

We currently have five active reportable business segments: (i) NGL Pipelines & Services; (ii) Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services; (iii) Onshore Crude Oil Pipelines & Services; (iv) Offshore Pipelines & Services; and (v) Petrochemical & Refined Products Services.  Our business segments are generally organized and managed according to the type of services rendered (or technologies employed) and products produced and/or sold.

All activities included in our sixth reportable business segment, Other Investments, ceased on January 18, 2012, which was the date we discontinued using the equity method to account for our previously held investment in Energy Transfer Equity.  See Note 7 for information regarding the liquidation of our investment in Energy Transfer Equity.

We evaluate segment performance based on the non-GAAP financial measure of gross operating margin.  Gross operating margin (either in total or by individual segment) is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations.  This measure forms the basis of our internal financial reporting and is used by our management in deciding how to allocate capital resources among business segments.  We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results.  The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to total segment gross operating margin is operating income.  Our non-GAAP financial measure of total segment gross operating margin should not be considered an alternative to GAAP operating income.

We define total segment gross operating margin as operating income before: (i) depreciation, amortization and accretion expenses; (ii) non-cash asset impairment charges; (iii) operating lease expenses for which we did not have the payment obligation; (iv) gains and losses from asset sales and related transactions; and (v) general and administrative costs.  Gross operating margin by segment is calculated by subtracting segment operating costs and expenses (net of the adjustments noted above) from segment revenues, with both segment totals before the elimination of intercompany transactions.  In accordance with GAAP, intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.  Gross operating margin is exclusive of other income and expense transactions, income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles and extraordinary charges.  Gross operating margin is presented on a 100% basis before any allocation of earnings to noncontrolling interests.

We include equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates in our measurement of segment gross operating margin and operating income.  Equity investments with industry partners are a significant component of our business strategy.  They are a means by which we conduct our operations to align our interests with those of customers and/or suppliers.  This method of operation enables us to achieve favorable economies of scale relative to the level of investment and business risk assumed.  Many of these businesses perform supporting or complementary roles to our other midstream business operations.

Period-to-period fluctuations in our product sales revenues and related cost of sales amounts are explained in part by changes in energy commodity prices.  In general, lower energy commodity prices result in a decrease in our revenues attributable to product sales; however, these lower commodity prices also decrease the associated cost of sales as purchase costs decline.

Relationship with EPCO and Affiliates

We have an extensive and ongoing relationship with EPCO and its privately held affiliates (including Enterprise GP, our sole general partner), which are not a part of our consolidated group of companies.

EPCO is a privately held company controlled collectively by the EPCO Trustees.  At June 30, 2012, EPCO and its privately held affiliates (including Dan Duncan LLC and two Duncan family trusts, the beneficiaries of which include the estate of Mr. Duncan) beneficially owned the following limited partner interests in us:

Dan Duncan LLC owns 100% of our general partner, Enterprise GP.

We and Enterprise GP are both separate legal entities apart from each other and apart from EPCO and its other affiliates, with assets and liabilities that are also separate from those of EPCO and its other affiliates.  EPCO and its privately held affiliates depend on the cash distributions they receive from us and other investments to fund their other operations and to meet their debt obligations.  During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, we paid EPCO and its privately held affiliates cash distributions of $369.6 million and $346.4 million, respectively.

We have no employees.  All of our operating functions and general and administrative support services are provided by employees of EPCO pursuant to the ASA or by other service providers.  The following table presents costs and expenses related to the ASA and other EPCO transactions for the periods indicated:

Note 13.  Earnings Per Unit

Basic earnings per unit is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to our limited partners by the weighted-average number of our distribution-bearing units outstanding during a period, which excludes the Designated Units (see Note 10) to the extent that such units do not participate in the distributions to be paid with respect to such period.

Diluted earnings per unit is computed by dividing net income or loss attributable to our limited partners by the sum of (i) the weighted-average number of our distribution-bearing units outstanding during a period (as used in determining basic earnings per unit), (ii) the weighted-average number of our Class B units outstanding during a period, (iii) the weighted-average number of Designated Units outstanding during a period and (iv) the number of incremental common units resulting from the assumed exercise of dilutive unit options outstanding during a period (the “incremental option units”).

Note 14.  Commitments and Contingencies

As part of our normal business activities, we may be named as defendants in legal proceedings, including those arising from regulatory and environmental matters.  Although we are insured against various risks to the extent we believe it is prudent, there is no assurance that the nature and amount of such insurance will be adequate, in every case, to fully indemnify us against losses arising from future legal proceedings.  We will vigorously defend the partnership in litigation matters.

Management has regular quarterly litigation reviews, including updates from legal counsel, to assess the possible need for accounting recognition and disclosure of these contingencies.  We accrue an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated.  If a range of amounts can be reasonably estimated and no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, then the minimum amount in the range is accrued.

We do not record a contingent liability when the likelihood of loss is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated or when the likelihood of loss is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote.  For contingencies where an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the impact would be material to our consolidated financial statements, we disclose the nature of the contingency and, where feasible, an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss.  Based on a consideration of all relevant known facts and circumstances, we do not believe that the ultimate outcome of any currently pending litigation directed against us will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements either individually at the claim level or in the aggregate.

At June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, our accruals for litigation contingencies were $16.2 million and $16.5 million, respectively, and were recorded in our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of “Other current liabilities.”  Our accruals for litigation contingencies are recorded on an undiscounted basis.  Our evaluation of litigation contingencies is based on the facts and circumstances of each case and predicting the outcome of these matters involves uncertainties.  In the event

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

the assumptions we use to evaluate these matters change in future periods or new information becomes available, we may be required to record additional accruals.  In an effort to mitigate expenses associated with litigation, we may settle legal proceedings out of court.

Contractual Obligations

Scheduled Maturities of Long-Term Debt.  With the exception of (i) routine fluctuations in the balance of our revolving credit facility, (ii) the issuance of Senior Notes EE in February 2012 and (iii) the repayment of Senior Notes S and TEPPCO Senior Notes in February 2012, there have been no significant changes in our consolidated debt obligations since those reported in our 2011 Form 10-K.  See Note 9 for additional information regarding our consolidated debt obligations.

Operating Lease Obligations. Consolidated lease and rental expense was $22.7 million and $21.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, consolidated lease and rental expense was $45.1 million and $42.0 million, respectively.  There have been no material changes in our operating lease commitments since those reported in our 2011 Form 10-K.

Purchase Obligations.  There have been no material changes in our consolidated purchase obligations since those reported in our 2011 Form 10-K. 

Other Claims

As part of our normal business activities with joint venture partners and certain customers and suppliers, we occasionally make claims against such parties or have claims made against us as a result of disputes related to contractual agreements or similar arrangements.  As of June 30, 2012, our contingent claims against such parties were approximately $39.1 million and claims against us were approximately $42.1 million.  These matters are in various stages of assessment and the ultimate outcome of such disputes cannot be reasonably estimated at this time.  With respect to claims against us, we believe that the likelihood of a material loss resulting from such claims is remote. Accordingly, no accruals for loss contingencies related to these matters have been recorded.

We incurred liabilities for construction in progress that had not been paid at June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 of $289.8 million and $286.9 million, respectively.  Such amounts are not included under the caption “Capital expenditures” on the Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.

              On certain of our capital projects, third parties are obligated to reimburse us for all or a portion of project expenditures.  The majority of such arrangements are associated with projects related to pipeline construction and production well tie-ins.  These cash receipts are presented as “Contributions in aid of construction costs” within the investing activities section of our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows.

Proceeds from asset sales increased $878.5 million period-to-period, primarily from the sale of 29,303,514 common units of Energy Transfer Equity during 2012.  See Note 7 for information regarding the liquidation of our investment in Energy Transfer Equity.

See Note 16 for information regarding the collection of $27.7 million of nonrefundable property damage insurance proceeds during the second quarter of 2012.

See Note 10 for information regarding cash amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests.


Note 16.  Insurance Matters

We participate as a named insured in EPCO’s insurance program, which provides us with property damage, business interruption and other insurance coverage, the scope and amounts of which we believe are customary and prudent for the nature and extent of our operations.  While we believe EPCO maintains adequate insurance coverage on our behalf, insurance may not fully cover every type of damage, interruption or other loss that might occur.  If we were to incur a significant loss for which we were not fully insured, it could have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  In addition, there may be timing differences between amounts we accrue related to property damage expense, amounts we are required to pay in connection with a loss and amounts we subsequently receive from insurance carriers as reimbursements.  Any event that materially interrupts the revenues generated by our consolidated operations, or other losses that require us to make material expenditures not reimbursed by insurance, could reduce our ability to pay distributions to our unitholders and, accordingly, adversely affect the market price of our common units. 

Involuntary conversions result from the loss of an asset because of some unforeseen event (e.g., destruction due to fire).  Some of these events are insurable, thus resulting in a property damage insurance recovery.  Amounts we receive from insurance carriers are net of any deductibles related to the covered event.  EPCO renewed its annual insurance programs during the second quarter of 2012.  Under terms of the renewed policies,EPCO’s deductibles for property damage claims now range from $5.0 million to $60.0 million depending on the nature of the loss (windstorm or non-windstorm) and the assets involved (onshore or offshore).   We continue to maintain business interruption coverage for our onshore and offshore assets, except for those situations involving windstorm-related downtime for our offshore assets.  

After performing a cost-benefit analysis, management elected to forego windstorm coverage for our Gulf of Mexico offshore assets. The combination of increasingly high deductibles and premiums resulted in such coverage being uneconomic to us; therefore, we chose to self-insure such operations for the current annual policy period.  Although the new EPCO policies do not provide any windstorm coverage for offshore assets, producers affiliated with our Independence Hub and Marco Polo platforms provide physical damage windstorm coverage of approximately $350.0 million for each of these key offshore assets.

During the second quarter of 2012, we collected $27.7 million of nonrefundable cash proceeds from insurance carriers that we recognized as a gain.  These proceeds relate to property damage claims we made in connection with the February 2011 NGL release and fire at the West Storage location of our Mont

Belvieu, Texas underground storage facility.  As additional non-refundable insurance proceeds continue to be received, we expect to record gains equal to such proceeds.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 Note 18.  Subsequent Events

August 2012 Senior Notes Offering

On August 6, 2012, EPO agreed to issue $650 million in principal amount of 3-year unsecured Senior Notes FF at 99.941% of their principal amount and $1.1 billion in principal amount of 30-year unsecured Senior Notes GG at 99.470% of their principal amount.  The transaction is scheduled to close on August 13, 2012.  The Senior Notes FF to be issued upon closing will have a fixed interest rate of 1.25% and mature on August, 13, 2015, and the Senior Notes GG to be issued upon closing will have a fixed interest rate of 4.45% and mature on February 15, 2043.  Enterprise has agreed to guarantee both such series of notes through an unconditional guarantee on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis.  EPO expects to use net proceeds from the issuance of such notes to temporarily reduce borrowings under its $3.5 Billion Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility (which was used to repay amounts due upon the maturity of its $500.0 million principal amount of Senior Notes P on August 1, 2012) and for general company purposes.

Senior Notes FF and Senior Notes GG will rank equal with EPO’s existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.  They will be senior to any existing and future subordinated indebtedness of EPO.  Senior Notes FF and Senior Notes GG will be subject to make-whole redemption rights and will be issued under an indenture containing certain covenants, which generally restrict EPO’s ability, with certain exceptions, to incur debt secured by liens and engage in sale and leaseback transactions.

Commercial Paper Program

On August 8, 2012, EPO established a commercial paper program, under which EPO may issue up to $2.0 billion of short-term commercial paper notes outstanding at any time.  The commercial paper notes will be senior unsecured obligations of EPO that are unconditionally guaranteed by Enterprise. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the commercial paper notes for general company purposes.  The commercial paper program is fully backed by EPO’s existing $3.5 Billion Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility.  As of the filing date of this quarterly report, EPO has not issued any commercial paper notes pursuant to this program.


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

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011.

The following information should be read in conjunction with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q and the Audited Consolidated 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, 2011, as filed on February 29, 2012 (the “2011 Form 10-K”).  Our financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in the United States (“U.S.”).

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Information

This discussion contains various forward-looking statements and information that are based on our beliefs and those of our general partner, as well as assumptions made by us and information currently available to us.  When used in this document, words such as “anticipate,” “project,” “expect,” “plan,” “seek,” “goal,” “estimate,” “forecast,” “intend,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “believe,” “may,” “potential” and similar expressions and statements regarding our plans and objectives for future operations are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Although we and our general partner believe that our expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, neither we nor our general partner can give any assurances that such expectations will prove to be correct.  Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions as described in more detail under Part I, Item 1A “Risk Factors” included in our 2011 Form 10-K.  If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected.  You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements.  The forward-looking statements in this quarterly report speak only as of the date hereof.  Except as required by federal and state securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or any other reason.

Overview of Business

We are a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “EPD.”  We were formed in April 1998 to own and operate certain natural gas liquids (“NGLs”) related businesses of EPCO and are now a leading North American provider of midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, refined products and petrochemicals.  Our midstream energy asset network links producers of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil from some of the largest supply basins in the U.S., Canada and the Gulf of Mexico with domestic consumers and international markets.  Our assets include approximately 50,700 miles of onshore and offshore pipelines; 190 MMBbls of storage capacity for NGLs, crude oil, refined products and petrochemicals; and 14 Bcf of working natural gas storage capacity. 

Our integrated midstream energy operations include: natural gas gathering, treating, processing, transportation and storage; NGL transportation, fractionation, storage, and import and export terminals; crude oil and refined products transportation, storage, and terminals; offshore production platforms; petrochemical transportation and services; and a marine transportation business that operates primarily on the U.S. inland and Intracoastal Waterway systems and in the Gulf of Mexico.   We currently have five active reportable business segments: (i) NGL Pipelines & Services; (ii) Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services; (iii) Onshore Crude Oil Pipelines & Services; (iv) Offshore Pipelines & Services; and (v) Petrochemical & Refined Products Services.  All activities included in our sixth reportable business segment, Other Investments, ceased on January 18, 2012, which was the date we discontinued using the equity method to account for our previously held investment in Energy Transfer Equity (see “Significant Recent Developments – Liquidation of Investment in Energy Transfer Equity” within this Item 2).





 
For information regarding our business segments, see Note 11 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

We conduct substantially all of our business through EPO and are owned 100% by our limited partners from an economic perspective.  Enterprise GP manages our partnership and owns a non-economic general partner interest in us.

Significant Recent Developments

The following information highlights significant developments since January 1, 2012 through the date of this filing (August 9, 2012), including (i) information relevant to an understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition or results of operation; and (ii) certain unusual or infrequent events or transactions and known trends or uncertainties that have had or that we reasonably expect may have a material impact on our revenues or income from continuing operations.
 
Formation of Eagle Ford Shale Crude Oil Pipeline Joint Venture with Plains
 
On August 6, 2012, we announced the formation of a 50/50 joint venture with Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“Plains”) to provide crude oil pipeline services to producers in South Texas. The arrangement provides for Enterprise and Plains to consolidate certain portions of previously announced pipeline projects servicing the Eagle Ford Shale supply basin.  The joint venture pipeline system is supported by long-term commitments totaling 210 MBPD of crude oil.  The consolidation will provide shippers with increased market flexibility and enable Enterprise and Plains to optimize their respective capital investments in the area.
 
The joint venture will include a 140–mile crude oil and condensate line extending from Gardendale, Texas in LaSalle County to Three Rivers, Texas in Live Oak County and continuing on to Corpus Christi, Texas, and a new 35-mile pipeline segment from Three Rivers to our Lyssy, Texas station in Wilson County.  The system, which is currently under construction, will have a targeted capacity of 350 MBPD and will include a marine terminal facility at Corpus Christi and 1.8 MMBbls of operational storage capacity across the system.  Portions of the new system are expected to be placed into service in the fourth quarter of 2012, with the balance of the system expected to be placed into service in the first half of 2013.  Plains will serve as operator of the joint venture’s  pipeline system.

At Lyssy, the joint venture pipeline will interconnect with the Eagle Ford expansion of our South Texas Crude Oil Pipeline System, which commenced operations in June 2012 (see below). Our South Texas Crude Oil Pipeline System is not part of the new joint venture’s pipeline system.

August 2012 Senior Notes Offering and Launch of Commercial Paper Program

On August 6, 2012, EPO agreed to issue $650 million in principal amount of Senior Notes FF due August 2015 and $1.1 billion in principal amount of Senior Notes GG due February 2043.  In addition, EPO established a commercial paper program on August 8, 2012 under which it may issue up to $2.0 billion of short-term commercial paper notes outstanding at any time.  See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” within this Item 2 for information regarding these recent developments.

Plans to Build World-Scale Propane Dehydrogenation Unit

In June 2012, we announced plans to build one of the world’s largest propane dehydrogenation (“PDH”) units, with capacity to produce up to 1.65 billion pounds per year (approximately 750,000 metric tons per year or approximately 25 MBPD) of polymer grade propylene.  The PDH facility is expected to consume up to 35 MBPD of propane as feedstock and be located in southeast Texas along the Gulf Coast.   The facility, which is supported by long-term, fee-based contracts, is expected to begin commercial operations during the third quarter of 2015 and integrate operationally with our other NGL and propylene facilities.


 
Eagle Ford Expansion of Our South Texas Crude Oil Pipeline System Commences Operations

In June 2012, we announced that the Eagle Ford expansion of our South Texas Crude Oil Pipeline System commenced operations.  This pipeline expansion, which has a crude oil transportation capacity of 350 MBPD, allows us to serve growing production areas in the Eagle Ford Shale supply basin.  The new pipeline originates at Lyssy, Texas and extends approximately 147 miles to Sealy, Texas and includes 2.4 MMBbls of crude oil storage, including 0.6 MMBbls at Lyssy, 0.2 MMBbls at Milton, Texas, 0.4 MMBbls at Marshall, Texas and 1.2 MMBbls at Sealy.

Crude oil supplies arriving at Sealy on the new pipeline are being delivered to Houston area refiners through affiliate and third party pipelines.  In addition, shippers will have access to our new Enterprise Crude Houston (“ECHO”) crude oil storage terminal located in southeast Houston.   The ECHO facility is expected to commence operations in September 2012.

Seaway Pipeline Makes First Delivery of Crude Oil to Texas Gulf Coast

In June 2012, we and Enbridge Inc. (“Enbridge”) announced that the Seaway Pipeline made its first delivery of crude oil to the Texas Gulf Coast.  The arrival marks the first southbound delivery of crude oil by pipeline from the oversupplied Cushing hub, and gives producers access to all of the major refineries in the Greater Houston area and Texas City.  Additional pump station additions and modifications, which are expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2013, will increase throughput capacity on the Seaway Pipeline.

In March 2012, we secured capacity commitments from shippers to proceed with an additional expansion of the Seaway Pipeline. This expansion project entails the construction of a 512-mile, 30-inch diameter parallel pipeline mostly along the existing route of the Seaway Pipeline.  It is anticipated that the new pipeline would commence operations by mid-2014.  Once this expansion is completed, the total anticipated capacity of the Seaway Pipeline system would be approximately 850 MBPD.

The Seaway Pipeline delivers crude oil from Cushing into the Houston, Texas market utilizing affiliate and third party pipelines.  Seaway Crude Oil Pipeline Company (“Seaway”) is constructing a 65-mile pipeline that will link its pipeline system to our ECHO facility.  Completion of this pipeline segment is expected in 2013.  In addition, Seaway plans to build an 85-mile pipeline from our ECHO facility to the Port Arthur/Beaumont, Texas refining center that would provide shippers access to the region’s heavy oil refining capabilities.  Completion of this pipeline segment is expected in early 2014.

In May 2012, we announced that the first phase of our new cryogenic natural gas processing plant at Yoakum, Texas commenced operations.  As completed, the first phase provides us with more than 300 MMcf/d of natural gas processing capacity and the ability to extract over 40 MBPD of NGLs.   The second phase of the Yoakum facility, which will add 300 MMcf/d of additional capacity, is expected to commence operations by mid-August 2012.  The third and final phase of construction at the Yoakum facility, which will add another 300 MMcf/d of capacity, is expected to be completed by February 2013.  Prior to the start-up of the Yoakum plant, we had been utilizing capacity at natural gas processing plants owned by third parties.  Most of these volumes will now be directed to and processed at the Yoakum facility.

In April 2012, we completed a 65-mile residue natural gas pipeline linking the Yoakum plant to our Wilson natural gas storage facility.  Additionally, we completed construction of 169 miles of pipelines that will transport mixed NGLs from the Yoakum plant to our NGL fractionation and storage complex at Mont Belvieu, Texas.

Plans to Construct Front Range Pipeline

In April 2012, we, along with Anadarko Petroleum Corporation and DCP Midstream, LLC formed a new joint venture, Front Range Pipeline LLC, to design and construct a new NGL pipeline that will


 
originate in the Denver-Julesburg Basin (the “DJ Basin”) in Weld County, Colorado and extend approximately 435 miles to Skellytown in Carson County, Texas.   Each party holds a one-third ownership interest in the joint venture. The Front Range Pipeline, with connections to our Mid-America Pipeline System and the Texas Express Pipeline, is expected to provide producers in the DJ Basin with access to the Gulf Coast, the largest NGL market in the U.S.  Initial capacity on the Front Range Pipeline is expected to be approximately 150 MBPD, which could be readily expanded to approximately 230 MBPD.  We will construct and operate the pipeline, which is expected to begin service during the fourth quarter of 2013.
 
 
Plans to Construct Two Additional NGL Fractionators at Mont Belvieu

In March 2012, we announced plans to construct two additional NGL fractionators at our Mont Belvieu, Texas complex that are expected to provide us with 170 MBPD of incremental NGL fractionation capacity.  The two new fractionation units (each with 85 MBPD of expected capacity) are expected to commence operations during the fourth quarter of 2013 and support the continued growth of NGL production from expanding resource basins such as the Eagle Ford Shale and various production areas in the Rocky Mountains.  Once these two new units are constructed and placed in service, our total gross NGL fractionation capacity at Mont Belvieu (eight fractionators in total) would approximate 655 MBPD.

Development of Our ATEX Express Long-Haul Ethane Pipeline

In January 2012, we secured sufficient transportation commitments to support development of our 1,230-mile Appalachia-to-Texas pipeline (the “ATEX Express”), which will transport growing ethane production from the Marcellus and Utica Shale producing areas to the U.S. Gulf Coast.

Demand for ethane feedstock over more expensive crude oil-based derivatives within the Gulf Coast petrochemical market has reached over 1 MMBPD.  Several petrochemical companies have made announcements to modify, expand or build new facilities that would use ethane as a feedstock.  As currently designed, the ATEX Express will have the capacity to transport up to 190 MBPD of ethane from Appalachian production areas to our storage and distribution assets in southeast Texas.

The project would utilize a combination of new and existing infrastructure.  The northern portion of the ATEX Express involves construction of a pipeline that would originate in Pennsylvania and extend west, then southwest, to Indiana following existing pipeline corridors in order to minimize the environmental footprint of the project.  The southern portion of ATEX Express would utilize a significant portion of our existing Products Pipeline System, which would be reversed to accommodate southbound delivery of ethane to the U.S. Gulf Coast.  At the southern terminus of the ATEX Express in Beaumont, we plan to construct a 55-mile pipeline to provide shippers with access to our NGL storage complex at Mont Belvieu, which would provide them with direct and indirect access to every ethylene plant in the U.S.   We expect that the ATEX Express will begin commercial operations in the first quarter of 2014.

Plans to Construct a Crude Oil Pipeline in the Gulf of Mexico with Genesis

In January 2012, we executed crude oil transportation agreements with six Gulf of Mexico producers that will support construction of a crude oil gathering pipeline serving the Lucius oil and gas field located in the southern Keathley Canyon area of the deepwater central Gulf of Mexico.  The pipeline will be constructed and owned by Southeast Keathley Canyon Pipeline Company, L.L.C. (“SEKCO”), which is a 50/50 joint venture owned by us and Genesis Energy, L.P. (“Genesis”).  We will serve as construction manager and operator of the new deepwater pipeline (the “SEKCO Oil Pipeline”).  The SEKCO Oil Pipeline is expected to begin service by mid-2014.

Liquidation of Investment in Energy Transfer Equity

At December 31, 2011, we owned 29,303,514 common units of Energy Transfer Equity.  On January 18, 2012, we sold 22,762,636 of these common units in a private transaction, which generated cash proceeds of approximately $825.1 million and a gain on the sale of $27.5 million.  Following completion of the January 18 transaction, our ownership interest in Energy Transfer Equity was below 3%, and we


discontinued using the equity method to account for this investment and began accounting for it as an investment in available-for-sale equity securities.  For the period January 1, 2012 to January 18, 2012, we recorded $2.4 million of equity earnings from Energy Transfer Equity, which is reflected in our Other Investments segment.

The remaining 6,540,878 units were sold systematically through April 27, 2012 until completely liquidated.  These post-January 18 sales generated total cash proceeds of approximately $270.2 million and gains of $41.3 million.  The aggregate $68.8 million in gains on the 2012 sales, of which $15.5 million are attributed to sales during the second quarter of 2012, are presented as a component of “Other income.”  Proceeds from these sales were used for general company purposes, including funding capital expenditures.

All activities included in our sixth reportable business segment, Other Investments, ceased on January 18, 2012, which was the date we discontinued using the equity method to account for our previously held investment in Energy Transfer Equity.

Period-to-period fluctuations in our consolidated revenues and cost of sales amounts are explained in large part by changes in energy commodity prices, especially those for NGLs, natural gas and crude oil.   In general, energy commodity prices were lower during 2012 when compared to the same period in 2011.   For example:

§  
The weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs (based on prices for such products at Mont Belvieu, Texas) was $1.09 per gallon during the second quarter of 2012 versus $1.50 per gallon during the second quarter of 2011 – a 27% quarter-to-quarter decrease.  The weighted-average indicative market price for NGLs for the first six months of 2012 was  $1.22 per gallon compared to $1.43 per gallon during the first six months of 2011 – a 15% period-to-period decrease.

§  
The market price of natural gas (as measured at Henry Hub in Louisiana) averaged $2.21 per MMBtu during the second quarter of 2012 versus $4.32 per MMBtu during the second quarter of 2011 – a 49% quarter-to-quarter decrease.  The Henry Hub market price of natural gas for the first six months of 2012 averaged $2.47 per MMBtu compared to $4.21 per MMBtu during the first six months of 2011 – a 41% period-to-period decrease.

§  
The market price of crude oil (as measured on the NYMEX) averaged $93.49 per barrel during the second quarter of 2012 compared to $102.56 per barrel during the second quarter of 2011 – a 9% quarter-to-quarter decrease.  The NYMEX market price of crude oil for the first six months of 2012 averaged $98.21 per barrel compared to $98.33 per barrel during the first six months of 2011.
 
 Factors underlying the general decrease in energy commodity prices during 2012 were global issues such as the ongoing Eurozone debt crisis and lower than expected growth in the U.S. and Asia-Pacific region. In addition, North American supplies of natural gas, NGLs and crude oil are rapidly expanding due to continuing development of NGL-rich resource basins such as the Eagle Ford, Marcellus


and Utica shale production areas.  As a result, regional supply and demand imbalances exist that are contributing to the weakness in energy commodity prices.

In addition, during the second quarter of 2012, the U.S. petrochemical industry experienced an extended period of planned and unplanned plant turnarounds with respect to ethylene production facilities, which led to lower demand and pricing for ethane (the largest component of NGL production by volume).  Most of these turnarounds were completed by early July 2012.  We estimate that demand for ethane is currently averaging in excess of 1 million barrels per day and we have seen ethane prices strengthen accordingly.

Natural gas processing margins are lower in 2012 when compared to 2011 primarily due to a decline in NGL market prices.  In general, when operating and extraction costs of natural gas processing plants are higher than the incremental value of the NGL products that would be extracted, the recovery levels of certain NGL products, principally ethane, may be reduced or eliminated.  Our natural gas processing plants are experiencing varying levels of reduced ethane recoveries as we enter the second half of 2012 due to the pricing environment; however, we anticipate some improvement in natural gas processing margins in connection with the strengthening of ethane prices noted above due to increased petrochemical demand.

We attempt to mitigate any commodity price exposure through our hedging activities as well as through converting keepwhole and similar contracts to fee-based arrangements.  See Item 3 of this quarterly report for information regarding our commodity hedging activities.

Consolidated Income Statement Highlights

The following information highlights significant changes in our quarter-to-quarter and period-to-period income statement amounts and the primary drivers of such changes.

Revenues for the second quarter of 2012 decreased $1.43 billion compared to the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to lower marketing revenues attributable to a decrease in NGL, natural gas, crude oil and petrochemical prices. For the first six months of 2012, revenues decreased $357.9 million when compared to the same period in 2011.  NGL, natural gas and petrochemical marketing revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2012 decreased $1.42 billion primarily due to lower energy commodity prices in 2012.  This period-to-period decrease was partially offset by a $1.01 billion period-to-period increase in crude oil sales revenues primarily due to higher sales volumes.

Operating costs and expenses for the second quarter of 2012 decreased $1.52 billion compared to the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to lower cost of sales amounts attributable to the decrease in energy commodity prices.   For the first six months of 2012, operating costs and expenses decreased $593.7 million when compared to the same period in 2011.  The cost of sales associated with our NGL, natural gas and petrochemical marketing activities decreased $1.62 billion period-to-period primarily due to lower energy commodity prices.  This period-to-period decrease was partially offset by an $876.1 million increase in the cost of sales associated with increased crude oil sales volumes.

During the second quarter of 2012, we collected $27.7 million of nonrefundable cash proceeds from insurance carriers that we recognized as a gain within operating costs and expenses.  These proceeds relate to property damage claims we made in connection with the February 2011 NGL release and fire at the West Storage location of our Mont Belvieu, Texas underground storage facility.   For additional information regarding our insurance matters, see “– Other Items – Insurance Matters” within this Item 2.

General and administrative costs for the second quarter of 2012 decreased $7.9 million compared to the second quarter of 2011.  The quarter-to-quarter decrease was primarily due to lower compensation costs and timing of expenses for outside tax-related services in 2012 compared to 2011.  In addition, general and administrative costs for the second quarter of 2011 included transaction expenses of $1.5 million related to the Duncan Merger.  For the six months ended June 30, 2012, general and administrative costs were essentially unchanged with respect to the same period in 2011.


Although interest expense was essentially unchanged quarter-to-quarter and period-to-period, our average debt principal balance increased to $14.80 billion in the second quarter of 2012 from $14.23 billion in the second quarter of 2011.  Likewise, our average debt principal balance for the first six months of 2012 was $14.66 billion compared to $14.18 billion for the same period in 2011. A substantial portion of the interest cost was capitalized in connection with our capital spending program.  Capitalized interest for the second quarter of 2012 increased $4.7 million compared to the second quarter of 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, capitalized interest increased $18.1 million compared to the same period in 2011.

Results for the first six months of 2012 include $68.8 million of gains recorded in connection with the liquidation of our investment in Energy Transfer Equity, which was completed in April 2012.   Of this amount, $15.5 million pertains to the second quarter of 2012.  These gains are a component of “Other, net” as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations.  We no longer have an investment in Energy Transfer Equity.  For additional information, see “Liquidation of Investment in Energy Transfer Equity” under Note 7 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

We recognized a net income tax benefit of $25.9 million for the first six months of 2012 compared to a $14.5 million provision for income taxes recognized for the first six months of 2011.  The $40.4 million period-to-period change in income taxes is primarily due to a $46.5 million benefit related to the conversion of certain of our subsidiaries to limited liability companies during the first quarter of 2012.   The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2012 was essentially unchanged from that of the second quarter of 2011.

Business Segment Highlights

Total segment gross operation margin was $1.0 billion for the second quarter of 2012 compared to $922.5 million for the second quarter of 2011.  With respect to the six months ended June 30, 2012, total segment gross operating margin was $2.1 billion versus $1.8 billion for the same period in 2011.

We currently have five active reportable business segments: (i) NGL Pipelines & Services; (ii) Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services; (iii) Onshore Crude Oil Pipelines & Services; (iv) Offshore Pipelines & Services; and (v) Petrochemical & Refined Products Services.  We evaluate segment performance based on the non-GAAP financial measure of gross operating margin.  For information regarding this financial metric, see “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” within this Item 2.

The following information highlights significant changes in our period-to-period segment results (i.e., gross operating margin amounts) and the primary drivers of such changes.  The selected volume statistics presented in the tabular information for each segment are reported on a net basis, taking into account our ownership interests in certain joint ventures, and reflect the periods in which we owned an interest in such operations.  These statistics reflect volumes for newly constructed assets from the dates such assets were placed into service and for purchased assets from the date of acquisition.

All activities included in our sixth reportable business segment, Other Investments, ceased on January 18, 2012, which was the date we discontinued using the equity method to account for our previously held investment in Energy Transfer Equity.  Our equity earnings from this investment were $2.7 million for the second quarter of 2011 and $2.4 million and $9.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Gross operating margin from our natural gas processing and related NGL marketing activities for the second quarter of 2012 increased $35.6 million compared to the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to a $32.5 million quarter-to-quarter increase in gross operating margin from our NGL marketing activities attributable to higher product sales margins.  Gross operating margin from our natural gas processing plants located in the Rocky Mountains increased $24.7 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to improved commodity hedging results during the second quarter of 2012, which benefited processing margins at these facilities.  Including the impact of improved commodity hedging results, processing margins and fees at our Rocky Mountain processing plants increased approximately $55.2 million quarter-to-quarter, which more than offset an estimated $30.5 million reduction in gross operating margin attributable to lower volumes.  Gross operating margin from our San Juan/Permian Basin and south Louisiana natural gas processing plants decreased $20.5 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to lower natural gas processing margins and equity NGL production volumes. The decrease in equity NGL production volumes contributed to an estimated $7.5 million of the quarter-to-quarter reduction in gross operating margin, with the remainder of the decrease generally attributable to lower processing margins. Our south Louisiana plants were negatively impacted by maintenance down-time at third-party owned facilities, which reduced production volumes sourced from certain Gulf of Mexico resource basins during the second quarter of 2012.  Gross operating margin from our Texas natural gas processing plants decreased $0.9 million quarter-to-quarter.  The additional gross operating margin resulting from the start-up of our Yoakum plant in May 2012 and a quarter-to-quarter increase in fee-based processing volumes were more than offset by lower natural gas processing margins and equity NGL production volumes during the second quarter of 2012.

With respect to the six months ended June 30, 2012, gross operating margin from our natural gas processing and related NGL marketing activities increased $179.6 million when compared with the same six month period in 2011.  Gross operating margin from our NGL marketing activities for the first six months of 2012 increased $97.3 million over the same period in 2011 attributable to higher sales margins.  Gross operating margin from our Rocky Mountain plants increased $79.0 million period-to-period primarily due to improved commodity hedging results, which benefited processing margins at these facilities, and a $20.0 million gain associated with a legal settlement with a supplier during the 2012 period.  Including the impact of improved commodity hedging results, processing margins and fees at our Rocky Mountain processing plants increased approximately $101.6 million period-to-period, which more than offset an estimated $42.6 million reduction in gross operating margin attributable to lower volumes.


NGL pipelines and related storage

Gross operating margin from our NGL pipelines and related storage business for the second quarter of 2012 increased $15.2 million compared to second quarter of 2011.  Gross operating margin from our Mid-America Pipeline System, Seminole Pipeline and related NGL terminals increased $7.0 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to an increase in system-wide tariffs that went into effect in July 2011.  Gross operating margin from our NGL storage business and Houston Ship Channel import/export terminal increased a combined $11.8 million for the second quarter of 2012 primarily due to higher storage and NGL export volumes.  Collectively, gross operating margin from the remainder of our NGL pipelines and related storage business decreased $3.6 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to the impact of net operational measurement gains during the second quarter of 2011 that did not reoccur during the second quarter of 2012.

With respect to the six months ended June 30, 2012, gross operating margin from our NGL pipelines and related storage business increased $3.7 million when compared with the same six month period in 2011.  Gross operating margin from our Mid-America Pipeline System, Seminole Pipeline and related NGL terminals increased $21.1 million period-to-period primarily due to the increase in system-wide tariffs noted above, which accounted for approximately $12.0 million of the increase, and higher volumes.  Gross operating margin from our NGL storage business and Houston Ship Channel import/export terminal increased a combined $16.9 million for the first six months of 2012 primarily due to higher storage and export volumes.

The foregoing year-to-date increases in gross operating margin from our NGL pipelines and related storage business were partially offset by several factors.  Gross operating margin from our NGL pipelines in southern Louisiana decreased $9.2 million period-to-period primarily due to a decrease in transportation volumes attributable to lower NGL production volumes from the Gulf of Mexico and decreased volumes transported from Mont Belvieu to NGL fractionators in Louisiana.  Gross operating margin from our Dixie Pipeline and related NGL terminals decreased $7.5 million period-to-period primarily due to higher pipeline integrity expenses and lower transportation volumes attributable to warmer weather and maintenance-related downtime during the first six months of 2012. The decrease in transportation volumes on the Dixie Pipeline accounted for approximately $5.0 million of the period-to-period decrease in gross operating margin.  Collectively, gross operating margin from the remainder of our NGL pipelines and related storage business decreased $17.6 million period-to-period primarily due to the impact of net operational measurement gains during the first six months of 2011 that did not reoccur during the first six months of 2012.

NGL fractionation

Gross operating margin from NGL fractionation for the second quarter of 2012 increased $17.3 million compared to the second quarter of 2011.  Gross operating margin from our Mont Belvieu NGL fractionators increased $20.6 million quarter-to-quarter primarily due to higher NGL fractionation volumes.  During the fourth quarter of 2011, we placed into service a fifth NGL fractionator at our Mont Belvieu complex, which added more than 75 MBPD of NGL fractionation capacity at this key industry hub.

With respect to the six months ended June 30, 2012, gross operating margin from NGL fractionation increased $35.3 million compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to higher fractionation volumes at our Mont Belvieu complex.

Propylene fractionation and related marketing activities

Gross operating margin from our propylene fractionation and related petrochemical marketing activities increased $11.6 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to higher propylene sales margins during the second quarter of 2012.  With respect to the six months ended June 30, 2012, gross operating margin increased $23.9 million compared to the same period in 2011 primarily due to higher propylene sales margins during the first six months of 2012.

Butane isomerization

Gross operating margin from butane isomerization decreased $9.6 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011.  Likewise, gross operating margin for the first six months of 2012 declined $14.7 million compared to the same period in 2011.  Both the quarter-to-quarter and year-to-date decreases in gross operating margin are primarily due to lower isomerization volumes (and


corresponding by-product production and sales) and processing fees.  Isomerization volumes for 2012 were negatively impacted by extended downtime for maintenance at our octane enhancement facility (which utilizes high purity isobutane feedstock produced at our butane isomerization facility) during the first quarter of 2012.  The decrease in by-product production and sales during the second quarter of 2012 accounted for approximately $7.4 million of the $9.6 million quarter-to-quarter reduction in gross operating margin.  Likewise, the decrease in by-product production and sales during the first six months of 2012 accounted for approximately $9.8 million of the $14.7 million period-to-period decrease in gross operating margin.

Octane enhancement and related plant operations

Gross operating margin from octane enhancement and related high purity isobutylene plant operations increased a combined $13.5 million quarter-to-quarter.  This increase was primarily due to higher motor gasoline additive sales volumes, which accounted for an estimated $7.6 million of the quarter-to-quarter increase, and higher sales margins during the second quarter of 2012.

With respect to the six months ended June 30, 2012, gross operating margin for these facilities decreased $5.7 million compared to the same period in 2011.  This period-to-period decrease was primarily due to lower volumes and higher operating expenses at our octane enhancement facility resulting from extended downtime for maintenance during the first quarter of 2012.  Additional costs associated with this facility’s extended maintenance work during the first quarter of 2012 were approximately $6.6 million.

Refined products pipelines and related marketing activities

Gross operating margin from refined products pipelines and related marketing activities decreased $4.1 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011 primarily due to a 60 MBPD quarter-to-quarter decrease in refined products delivered to Midwest U.S. markets.  With respect to the six months ended June 30, 2012, gross operating margin decreased $10.3 million versus the same period in 2011 primarily due to a 32 MBPD period-to-period decrease in propane and butane volumes delivered to Northeast U.S. markets and a 60 MBPD period-to-period decrease in refined products volumes delivered to Midwest U.S. markets.  In general, warmer weather during the first six months of 2012 compared to the same period in 2011 resulted in lower demand for propane used as heating fuel, while shipments of refined products from the Gulf Coast to Midwest markets decreased as a result of lower prices for such products in Midwestern markets than in Gulf Coast markets.

Marine transportation and other

Gross operating margin from marine transportation and other segment services increased $6.1 million for the second quarter of 2012 compared to the second quarter of 2011.  Likewise, gross operating margin increased $9.7 million for the first six months of 2012 versus the same period in 2011.  The quarter-to-quarter and year-to-date increases in gross operating margin are primarily due to the combination of higher marine transportation fees and lower operating expenses associated with our fleet of marine vessels during 2012.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2012, we had $3.09 billion of consolidated liquidity, which is defined as unrestricted cash on hand plus borrowing capacity available under EPO’s $3.5 Billion Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility.  Based on current market conditions (as of the filing date of this quarterly report), we believe we will have sufficient liquidity, cash flow from operations and access to capital markets to fund our capital expenditures and working capital needs.

Long-Term Debt

We had approximately $15.01 billion of principal amounts outstanding under consolidated debt agreements at June 30, 2012.  In February 2012, EPO issued $750.0 million in principal amount of 30-year
 
 
unsecured Senior Notes EE.  These notes were issued at 99.542% of their principal amount, have a fixed-rate of interest of 4.85% and mature on August 15, 2042.  Net proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes EE were used to temporarily reduce borrowings outstanding under EPO’s $3.5 Billion Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility (which was used to repay at maturity its $490.5 million principal amount of Senior Notes S due February 2012 and $9.5 million principal amount of TEPPCO Senior Notes due February 2012 prior to the delivery of Senior Notes EE) and for general company purposes.

August 2012 Senior Notes Offering.  On August 6, 2012, EPO agreed to issue $650 million in principal amount of 3-year unsecured Senior Notes FF at 99.941% of their principal amount and $1.1 billion million in principal amount of 30-year unsecured Senior Notes GG at 99.470% of their principal amount.  The transaction is scheduled to close on August 13, 2012.  The Senior Notes FF to be issued upon closing will have a fixed interest rate of 1.25% and mature on August 13, 2015, and the Senior Notes GG to be issued upon closing will have a fixed interest rate of 4.45% and mature on February 15, 2043.  Enterprise has agreed to guarantee both such series of notes through an unconditional guarantee on an unsecured and unsubordinated basis.  EPO expects to use net proceeds from the issuance of such notes to temporarily reduce borrowings under its $3.5 Billion Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility (which was used to repay amounts due upon the maturity of its $500.0 million principal amount of Senior Notes P on August 1, 2012) and for general company purposes.

Commercial Paper Program

On August 8, 2012, EPO established a commercial paper program, under which EPO may issue up to $2.0 billion of short-term commercial paper notes outstanding at any time.  The commercial paper notes will be senior unsecured obligations of EPO that are unconditionally guaranteed by Enterprise. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of the commercial paper notes for general company purposes.  The commercial paper program is fully backed by EPO’s existing $3.5 Billion Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility.  As of the filing date of this quarterly report, EPO has not issued any commercial paper notes pursuant to this program.

For additional information regarding our consolidated debt obligations, see Note 9 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

Registration Statements

We may issue additional equity or debt securities to assist us in meeting our future liquidity and capital spending requirements.  We have a universal shelf registration statement (the “2010 Shelf”) on file with the SEC.  The 2010 Shelf allows Enterprise and EPO (on a standalone basis) to issue an unlimited amount of equity and debt securities, respectively.  EPO utilized the 2010 Shelf to issue its Senior Notes EE in February 2012 and will use the 2010 Shelf to issue Senior Notes FF and GG in August 2012.

In May 2012, we entered into an equity distribution agreement with certain broker-dealers pursuant to which we may offer and sell up to $1.0 billion of our common units in amounts, at prices and on terms to be determined by market conditions and other factors at the time of such offerings.  Pursuant to this “at-the-market” program, we may sell common units under the agreement from time to time by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions through the NYSE at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed to with the broker-dealer parties to the agreement.  A registration statement covering the issuance and sale of common units pursuant to this agreement was filed with the SEC in March 2012.  There were no issuances and sales under this agreement as of August 9, 2012.

For information regarding our registration statements, see Note 10 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.





Credit Ratings

As of August 9, 2012, the investment-grade credit ratings of EPO’s long-term senior unsecured debt securities were: BBB from Standard and Poor’s; Baa2 from Moody’s; and BBB from Fitch Ratings, and the credit ratings of EPO’s short-term senior unsecured debt securities were: A-2 from Standard and Poor’s and P-2 from Moody’s.  EPO’s credit ratings reflect only the view of a rating agency and should not be interpreted as a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any of our securities.  A credit rating can be revised upward or downward or withdrawn at any time by a rating agency, if it determines that circumstances warrant such a change.  A credit rating from one rating agency should be evaluated independently of credit ratings from other rating agencies.

Cash Flows from Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated (dollars in millions).  For additional information regarding our cash flow amounts, please refer to the Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

   
For the Six Months

Net cash flows provided by operating activities
  $ 1,338.3     $ 1,754.5  
Cash used in investing activities
    749.8       1,492.2  
Cash used in financing activities
    593.8       218.7  

Net cash flows provided by operating activities are largely dependent on earnings from our consolidated business activities.  As a result, these cash flows are exposed to certain risks.  We operate predominantly in the midstream energy industry.  We provide products and services to producers and consumers of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, refined products and petrochemicals.  The products that we process, sell, transport or store are principally used as fuel for residential, agricultural and commercial heating; as feedstocks in petrochemical manufacturing; and in the production of motor gasoline.  Reduced demand for our services or products by industrial customers, whether because of a decline in general economic conditions, reduced demand for the end products made with our products, or increased competition from other service providers or producers due to pricing differences or other reasons, could have a negative impact on our earnings and operating cash flows.  For a more complete discussion of these and other risk factors pertinent to our business, see “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A of our 2011 Form 10-K.

The following information highlights significant period-to-period variances in our cash flow amounts and the primary drivers of these variances:

Comparison of Six Months Ended June 30, 2012 with Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

Operating Activities. The $416.2 million period-to-period decrease in net cash flows provided by operating activities was primarily due to the timing of cash receipts and disbursements partially offset by increased earnings (e.g., our gross operating margin increased $287.8 million period-to-period).
 
Investing Activities. The $742.4 million decrease in cash used for investing activities was primarily due to proceeds from asset sales, which increased $878.5 million period-to-period due to the sale of 29,303,514 Energy Transfer Equity common units for $1.1 billion during the six months ended June 30, 2012.  These proceeds were partially offset by a $93.3 million increase in capital spending for property, plant and equipment primarily for Eagle Ford Shale growth capital projects as well as a $113.7 million increase in investments in unconsolidated affiliates primarily related to newly formed joint venture projects.
 


Financing Activities. Cash used in financing activities increased $375.1 million period-to-period primarily due to the following:
 
§  
Net borrowings under our consolidated debt agreements decreased $234.0 million period-to-period.  EPO issued $750.0 million and repaid $500.0 million in principal amount of senior notes during the six months ended June 30, 2012, compared to the issuance of $1.5 billion and repayment of $450.0 million in principal amount of senior notes during the six months ended June 30, 2011.  In addition, net borrowings under our consolidated revolving bank credit facilities and term loans during the six months ended June 30, 2012 were $277.0 million compared to net repayments of $286.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2011.
 
§  
Monetization of interest rate derivative instruments during the six months ended June 30, 2012 resulted in a net cash outflow of $77.6 million compared to a $5.7 million outflow for similar activities during the six months ended June 30, 2011.  For information regarding our interest rate hedging activities, see Note 4 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.
 
§  
Cash distributions paid to limited partners increased $102.1 million period-to-period primarily due to a higher number of distribution-bearing common units outstanding and the associated quarterly distribution rates.
 
Capital Spending

An integral part of our business strategy involves expansion through growth capital projects, business combinations and investments in joint ventures.  We believe that we are positioned to continue to expand our system of assets through the construction of new facilities and to capitalize on expected increases in natural gas, NGL and crude oil production resulting from development activities in the Rocky Mountains, Midcontinent, Northeast and U.S. Gulf Coast regions, including the Barnett, Eagle Ford, Haynesville, Marcellus and Utica Shale plays and deepwater Gulf of Mexico producing regions.

Although our current focus is on expansion through growth capital projects, management continues to analyze potential business combinations, joint ventures and similar transactions with businesses that operate in complementary markets or geographic regions.  In past years, major oil and gas companies have sold non-strategic assets in the midstream energy sector in which we operate.  We believe this trend will continue and we expect independent oil and natural gas companies to consider similar divestitures.

The following table summarizes our capital spending for the periods presented (dollars in millions):

   
For the Six Months
Ended June 30,
 
   
2012
   
2011
 
Capital spending for property, plant and equipment, net of contributions in aid of construction costs
  $ 1,803.1     $ 1,709.8  
Capital spending for investments in unconsolidated affiliates
    125.5       11.8  
Other investing activities
    16.6       3.6  
Total capital spending
  $ 1,945.2     $ 1,725.2  

For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we spent $1.7 billion on growth capital projects, of which approximately $810 million was for Eagle Ford Shale projects.

Based on information currently available, we estimate our consolidated capital spending for 2012 will approximate $4.1 billion, which includes estimated expenditures of $3.8 billion for growth capital projects and $330 million for sustaining capital expenditures.  Our forecast of consolidated capital expenditures for 2012 is based on our announced strategic operating and growth plans, which are dependent upon our ability to generate the required funds from either operating cash flows or other means,


including borrowings under debt agreements, issuance of additional debt and equity securities, and potential divestitures.  We may revise our forecast of capital spending due to factors beyond our control, such as weather related issues, changes in supplier prices or adverse economic conditions.  Furthermore, our forecast of capital spending may change as a result of decisions made by management at a later date, which may include the addition of costs associated with unforeseen acquisition opportunities.

Our success in raising capital, including the formation of joint ventures to share costs and risks, continues to be a principal factor in determining how much capital we can invest.  We believe our access to capital resources is sufficient to meet the demands of our current and future growth needs and, although we currently intend to make the forecast capital expenditures noted above, we may adjust the timing and amounts of projected expenditures in response to changes in capital markets.

At June 30, 2012, we had approximately $1.5 billion in purchase commitments outstanding that relate to our capital spending for property, plant and equipment.  These commitments primarily relate to construction projects in Texas, including those in the Eagle Ford Shale and at our Mont Belvieu facility.

Pipeline Integrity Costs

Our pipelines are subject to safety programs administered by the U.S. Department of Transportation (“DOT”).  This federal agency has issued safety regulations containing requirements for the development of integrity management programs for hazardous liquid pipelines (e.g., NGL, crude oil, refined products and petrochemical pipelines) and natural gas pipelines.  In general, these regulations require companies to assess the condition of their pipelines in certain high consequence areas (as defined by the regulation) and to perform any necessary repairs.  The following table summarizes our pipeline integrity costs, including those attributable to DOT regulations, for the periods presented (dollars in millions):

   
For the Three Months

    Total
  $ 44.9     $ 30.1     $ 76.8     $ 48.5  

We expect the cost of our pipeline integrity program, irrespective of whether such costs are capitalized or expensed, to approximate $62.0 million for the remainder of 2012.  The cost of our pipeline integrity program was $117.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

A discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates is included in our 2011 Form 10-K.  The following estimates, in our opinion, are subjective in nature, require the exercise of professional judgment and involve complex analysis:

§  
depreciation methods and estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment;
§  
measuring recoverability of long-lived assets and equity method investments;
§  
amortization methods and estimated useful lives of qualifying intangible assets;
§  
methods we employ to measure the fair value of goodwill;
§  
revenue recognition policies and the use of estimates when recording revenue and expense accruals; and
§  
reserves for environmental matters and litigation contingencies.

When used in the preparation of our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, such estimates are based on our current knowledge and understanding of the underlying facts and circumstances and may be revised as a result of actions we 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 consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
Recent Accounting Developments

Accounting standard setting organizations have been very active in recent years.  Recently, they issued new and revised accounting guidance on a number of topics, including disclosures related to offsetting assets and liabilities.  We do not believe that adoption of this new guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Other Items

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We evaluate segment performance based on the non-GAAP financial measure of gross operating margin.  Gross operating margin (either in total or by individual segment) is an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations.  This measure forms the basis of our internal financial reporting and is used by our management in deciding how to allocate capital resources among business segments.  We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating segment results.  The GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to total segment gross operating margin is operating income.  Our non-GAAP financial measure of total segment gross operating margin should not be considered an alternative to GAAP operating income.

Our non-GAAP gross operating margin by business segment and in total is as follows for the periods presented (dollars in millions):

Contractual Obligations

Since January 1, 2012, we (i) issued Senior Notes EE in February 2012 and (ii) repaid our Senior Notes S and $9.5 million principal amount of TEPPCO Senior Notes in February 2012.   In August 2012, we issued Senior Notes FF and GG and repaid Senior Notes P.  See Note 9 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report for information regarding our consolidated debt obligations.  There were no material changes in our operating lease or purchase obligations since those reported in our 2011 Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably expected to have a material current or future effect on our financial position, revenues, expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Related Party Transactions

For information regarding our related party transactions, see Note 12 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report.

Insurance Matters

We participate as a named insured in EPCO’s insurance program, which provides us with property damage, business interruption and other insurance coverage, the scope and amounts of which we believe are customary and prudent for the nature and extent of our operations.  While we believe EPCO maintains adequate insurance coverage on our behalf, insurance may not fully cover every type of damage, interruption or other loss that might occur.  If we were to incur a significant loss for which we were not fully insured, it could have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.  In addition, there may be timing differences between amounts we accrue related property damage expense, amounts we are required to pay in connection with a loss and amounts we subsequently receive from insurance carriers as reimbursements.  Any event that materially interrupts the revenues generated by our consolidated operations, or other losses that require us to make material expenditures not reimbursed by insurance, could reduce our ability to pay distributions to our unitholders and, accordingly, adversely affect the market price of our common units. 

Involuntary conversions result from the loss of an asset because of some unforeseen event (e.g., destruction due to fire).  Some of these events are insurable, thus resulting in a property damage insurance


recovery.  Amounts we receive from insurance carriers are net of any deductibles related to the covered event.  EPCO renewed its annual insurance programs during the second quarter of 2012.   Under terms of the renewed policies, EPCO’s deductibles now range from $5.0 million to $60.0 million depending on the nature of the loss (windstorm or non-windstorm) and the assets involved (onshore or offshore).  

After performing a cost-benefit analysis, management elected to forego windstorm coverage for our Gulf of Mexico offshore assets. The combination of increasingly high deductibles and premiums resulted in such coverage being uneconomic to us; therefore, we chose to self-insure such operations for the current annual policy period.  Although the new EPCO policies do not provide any windstorm coverage for offshore assets, producers affiliated with our Independence Hub and Marco Polo platforms provide windstorm coverage of approximately $350.0 million for each of these key offshore assets.

During the second quarter of 2012, we collected $27.7 million of nonrefundable cash proceeds from insurance carriers that we recognized as a gain within operating costs and expenses.  These proceeds relate to property damage claims we made in connection with the February 2011 NGL release and fire at the West Storage location of our Mont Belvieu, Texas underground storage facility.  As additional non-refundable insurance proceeds continue to be received, we expect to record gains equal to such proceeds.


Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

In the normal course of our business operations, we are exposed to certain risks, including changes in interest rates and commodity prices.  In order to manage risks associated with certain anticipated future transactions, we use derivative instruments.  Substantially all of our derivatives are used for non-trading activities.

Our exposures to market risk have not changed materially since those reported under Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” included in our 2011 Form 10-K.

We assess the risk of each of our derivative instrument portfolios using a sensitivity analysis model.  The sensitivity analysis applied to each portfolio measures the potential income or loss (i.e., the change in fair value of the derivative instrument portfolio) based upon a hypothetical 10% movement in the underlying interest rates or quoted market prices (as applicable) at the dates indicated.  In addition to these variables, the fair value of each portfolio is influenced by fluctuations in the notional amounts of the instruments and the discount rates used to determine the present values.  The calculated results of the sensitivity analysis model do not reflect the impact that the same hypothetical price movement would have on the hedged exposures to which they relate.

We routinely review the effectiveness of our derivative instrument portfolios in light of current market conditions.  If changes in market conditions or exposures warrant, the nature and volume of derivative instruments may change depending on the specific exposures being managed.

See Note 4 of the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report for additional information regarding our derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Interest Rate Hedging Activities

We may utilize interest rate swaps, forward starting swaps and similar derivative instruments to manage our exposure to changes in interest rates charged on borrowings under certain consolidated debt agreements.  This strategy is a component in controlling our overall cost of capital associated with such borrowings.  The composition of our derivative instrument portfolios may change from period-to-period depending on our hedging requirements.   As presented in the tabular data below, each portfolio’s estimated fair value at a given date is based on a number of factors, including the number and types of derivatives outstanding at that date, the notional value of the swaps and associated interest rates.


The following table shows the effect of hypothetical price movements (a sensitivity analysis) on the estimated fair value (“FV”) of our interest rate swap portfolio at the dates indicated (dollars in millions):

The decrease in fair value of the interest rate swap portfolio since December 31, 2011 is primarily due to the settlement of 11 fixed-to-floating swaps in February 2012, which resulted in receipts totaling $37.7 million.

Due to a decrease in forward London Interbank Offered Rates in 2011, the fair value of our forward starting swap portfolio was a liability of $290.7 million at December 31, 2011.  In connection with the issuance of Senior Notes EE in February 2012, we settled ten forward starting swaps having an aggregate notional value of $500.0 million, resulting in cash losses totaling $115.3 million.   The fair value of the remaining forward starting swaps was a liability of $230.6 million at June 30, 2012 and $250.3 million at July 17, 2012.  The $19.7 million increase in the liability between June 30 and July 17 is attributable to further decreases in forward London Interbank Offered Rates during July 2012.

In connection with EPO’s agreement to issue Senior Notes FF and Senior Notes GG in August 2012, we settled seven forward starting swaps having an aggregate notional amount of $350.0 million, resulting in cash losses totaling $70.2 million.  Although we incurred cash losses upon settlement of our forward starting swaps in February 2012 and August 2012, we benefited from the exceptionally low interest rate environment during these periods relative to the interest rates in effect at the time we entered into the swaps.   For information regarding the issuance of senior notes in August 2012, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Long-Term Debt” under Item 2 of this quarterly report.

Commodity Hedging Activities

The prices of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, refined products and certain petrochemical products are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply and demand, market conditions and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control.  In order to manage such price risks, we enter into commodity derivative instruments such as physical forward contracts, futures contracts, fixed-for-float swaps, basis swaps and options contracts.

Our predominant commodity hedging strategies are: (i) hedging natural gas processing margins; (ii) hedging anticipated future contracted sales of NGLs, refined products and crude oil associated with volumes held in inventory; and (iii) hedging the fair value of natural gas in inventory.  The following information summarizes these hedging strategies:
 
 
§  
The objective of our natural gas processing strategy is to hedge an amount of gross margin associated with our natural gas processing activities.  We achieve this objective by using physical and financial instruments to lock in the purchase prices of natural gas consumed as plant thermal reduction (“PTR”) and the sales prices of the related NGL products.  This program consists of (i) the forward sale of a portion of our expected equity NGL production at fixed prices through December 2012, which is achieved through the use of forward physical sales contracts and commodity derivative instruments and (ii) the purchase of commodity derivative instruments having a notional amount based on the volume of natural gas expected to be consumed as PTR in the production of such equity NGL production.
 
At June 30, 2012, the program had hedged future remaining estimated gross margins (before plant operating expenses) of $596.7 million on 12.5 MMBbls of forecasted NGL sales transactions and equivalent PTR volumes extending through December 2012.  At July 17, 2012, the program had hedged future remaining gross operating margin (before operating expenses) of $607.4 million on 13.1 MMBbls of forecasted NGL sales and equivalent PTR volumes extending through December 2012. Our estimates of future gross margins are subject to various business risks, including unforeseen outages or production declines, counterparty risk, or similar events or developments that are outside of our control.

§  
The objective of our NGL, refined products and crude oil sales hedging program is to hedge the margins of anticipated future sales of inventory by locking in sales prices through the use of forward physical sales contracts and commodity derivative instruments.

§  
The objective of our natural gas and refined products inventory hedging program is to hedge the fair value of natural gas and refined products currently held in inventory by locking in the sales price of the inventory through the use of commodity derivative instruments.

Certain basis swaps, basis spread options and other derivative instruments not designated as hedging instruments are used to manage market risks associated with anticipated purchases and sales of natural gas necessary to optimize our owned and contractually committed transportation and storage capacity.  There is some uncertainty involved in the timing of these transactions often due to the development of more favorable profit opportunities or when spreads are insufficient to cover variable costs thus reducing the likelihood that the transactions will occur as originally forecasted.  As a result of this timing uncertainty, these derivative instruments do not qualify for hedge accounting even though they are effective at managing the risk exposures of these assets.  The earnings volatility caused by fluctuations in non-cash, mark-to-market earnings cannot be predicted and the impact to earnings could be material.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, our management carried out an evaluation, with the participation of our general partner’s chief executive officer (Michael A. Creel, who is our principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (W. Randall Fowler, our principal financial officer), of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Based on this evaluation, as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, Mr. Creel and Mr. Fowler concluded:

(i)  
that our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosures; and

(ii)  
that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the second quarter of 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting. 

The required certifications of Mr. Creel and Mr. Fowler under Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 are included as exhibits to this quarterly report (see Exhibits 31 and 32 under Part II, Item 6 of this quarterly report).
