ITEMS 1 AND 2. BUSINESS AND PROPERTIES

GENERAL

TE Products Pipeline Company, Limited Partnership, (the "Partnership"),
a Delaware limited partnership, was formed in March 1990. TEPPCO Partners, L.P.
(the "Parent Partnership") owns a 98.9899% interest as the sole limited partner
interest and Texas Eastern Products Pipeline Company (the "Company" or "General
Partner") owns a 1.0101% general partner interest in the Partnership. The
General Partner performs all management and operating functions required for the
Partnership.

In June 1997, Duke Energy Corporation ("Duke Energy") was formed
through a merger between PanEnergy Corp ("PanEnergy") and Duke Power Company.
The Company, previously a wholly-owned subsidiary of PanEnergy, became an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Duke Energy on the date of the merger.

The Partnership is one of the largest pipeline common carriers of
refined petroleum products and LPGs in the United States. The Partnership owns
and operates an approximate 4,300-mile pipeline system (together with the
receiving, storage and terminaling facilities mentioned below, the "Pipeline
System" or "Pipeline" or "System") extending from southeast Texas through the
central and midwestern United States to the northeastern United States. The
Pipeline System includes delivery terminals for outloading product to other
pipelines, tank trucks, rail cars or barges, as well as substantial storage
capacity at Mont Belvieu, Texas, the largest LPGs storage complex in the United
States, and at other locations. The Partnership also owns two marine receiving
terminals, one near Beaumont, Texas, and the other at Providence, Rhode Island.
The Providence terminal is not physically connected to the Pipeline. As an
interstate common carrier, the Pipeline System offers interstate transportation
services, pursuant to tariffs filed with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission ("FERC"), to any shipper of refined petroleum products and LPGs who
requests such services, provided that the products tendered for transportation
satisfy the conditions and specifications contained in the applicable tariff. In
addition to the revenues received by the Pipeline System from its interstate
tariffs, it also receives revenues from the shuttling of LPGs between refinery
and petrochemical facilities on the upper Texas Gulf Coast and ancillary
transportation, storage and marketing services at key points along the System.
Substantially all the petroleum products transported and stored in the Pipeline
System are owned by the Partnership's customers. Petroleum products are received
at terminals located principally on the southern end of the Pipeline System,
stored, scheduled into the Pipeline in accordance with customer nominations and
shipped to delivery terminals for ultimate delivery to the final distributor
(e.g., gas stations and retail propane distribution centers) or to other
pipelines. Pipelines are generally the lowest cost method for intermediate and
long-haul overland transportation of petroleum products. The Pipeline System is
the only pipeline that transports LPGs to the Northeast.

The Partnership's business depends in large part on (i) the level of
demand for refined petroleum products and LPGs in the geographic locations
served by it and (ii) the ability and willingness of customers having access to
the Pipeline System to supply such demand by deliveries through the System. The
Partnership cannot predict the impact of future fuel conservation measures,
alternate fuel requirements, governmental regulation, technological advances in
fuel economy and energy-generation devices, all of which could reduce the demand
for refined petroleum products and LPGs in the areas served by the Partnership.

OPERATIONS

The Partnership conducts business and owns properties located in 13
states. Operations consist of interstate transportation, storage and terminaling
of petroleum products; short-haul shuttle transportation of LPGs at the Mont
Belvieu, Texas complex; sale of product inventory; fractionation of natural gas
liquids (effective March 31, 1998); and other ancillary services. Products are
transported in liquid form from the upper Texas Gulf Coast through two parallel
underground pipelines that extend to Seymour, Indiana. From Seymour, segments of
the Pipeline System extend to the Chicago, Illinois; Lima, Ohio; Selkirk, New
York; and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, areas. The Pipeline System east of
Todhunter, Ohio, is dedicated solely to LPGs transportation and storage
services.

4

The Pipeline System includes 30 storage facilities with an aggregate
storage capacity of 13 million barrels of refined petroleum products and 38
million barrels of LPGs, including storage capacity leased to outside parties.
The Pipeline System makes deliveries to customers at 53 locations including 18
Partnership owned truck racks, rail car facilities and marine facilities.
Deliveries to other pipelines occur at various facilities owned by the
Partnership or by third parties.

PIPELINE SYSTEM

The Pipeline System is comprised of a 20-inch diameter line extending
in a generally northeasterly direction from Baytown, Texas (located
approximately 30 miles east of Houston), to a point in southwest Ohio near
Lebanon and Todhunter. A second line, which also originates at Baytown, is 16
inches in diameter until it reaches Beaumont, Texas, at which point it reduces
to a 14-inch diameter line. This second line extends along the same path as the
20-inch diameter line to the Pipeline System's terminal in El Dorado, Arkansas,
before continuing as a 16-inch diameter line to Seymour, Indiana. The Pipeline
System also has smaller diameter lines that extend laterally from El Dorado to
Helena and Arkansas City, Arkansas, from Tyler, Texas, to El Dorado and from
McRae, Arkansas, to West Memphis, Arkansas. The lines from El Dorado to Helena
and Arkansas City have 10-inch diameters. The line from Tyler to El Dorado
varies in diameter from 8 inches to 10 inches. The line from McRae to West
Memphis has a 12-inch diameter. The Pipeline System also includes a 14-inch
diameter line from Seymour, Indiana, to Chicago, Illinois, and a 10-inch
diameter line running from Lebanon to Lima, Ohio. This 10-inch diameter pipeline
connects to the Buckeye Pipe Line Company system that serves, among others,
markets in Michigan and eastern Ohio. Also, the Pipeline System has a 6-inch
diameter pipeline connection to the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky
International Airport and a 8-inch diameter pipeline connection to the George
Bush Intercontinental Airport, Houston. In addition, there are numerous smaller
diameter lines associated with the gathering and distribution system.

The Pipeline System continues eastward from Todhunter, Ohio, to
Greensburg, Pennsylvania, at which point it branches into two segments, one
ending in Selkirk, New York (near Albany), and the other ending at Marcus Hook,
Pennsylvania (near Philadelphia). The Pipeline east of Todhunter and ending in
Selkirk is an 8-inch diameter line, whereas the line starting at Greensburg and
ending at Marcus Hook varies in diameter from 6 inches to 8 inches. East of
Todhunter, Ohio, the Partnership transports only LPGs through the Pipeline.

The Pipeline System has been constructed and is in general compliance
with applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, and accepted
industry standards and practices. The Partnership performs regular maintenance
on all the facilities of the Pipeline System and has an ongoing process of
inspecting segments of the Pipeline System and making repairs and replacements
when necessary or appropriate. In addition, the Partnership conducts periodic
air patrols of the Pipeline System to monitor pipeline integrity and third-party
right of way encroachments.

MAJOR MARKETS

The Pipeline System's major operations are the transportation, storage
and terminaling of refined petroleum products and LPGs along its mainline
system, and the storage and short-haul transportation of LPGs associated with
its Mont Belvieu operations. Product deliveries, in millions of barrels (MMBbls)
on a regional basis, over the last three years were as follows:

stronger in the fall and winter months. Weather and economic conditions in the
geographic areas served by the Pipeline System also affect the demand for and
the mix of the products delivered.

Refined products and LPGs deliveries over the last three years were as

Refined Petroleum Products Transportation

The Pipeline System transports refined petroleum products from the
upper Texas Gulf Coast, eastern Texas and southern Arkansas to the Central and
Midwest regions of the United States with deliveries in Texas, Louisiana,
Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. At these points,
refined petroleum products are delivered

3
6

to Partnership-owned terminals, connecting pipelines and customer-owned
terminals. The volume of refined petroleum products transported by the Pipeline
System is directly affected by the demand for such products in the geographic
regions the System serves. Such market demand varies based upon the different
end uses to which the refined products deliveries are applied. Demand for
gasoline, which accounts for a substantial portion of the volume of refined
products transported through the Pipeline System, depends upon price, prevailing
economic conditions and demographic changes in the markets served. Demand for
refined products used in agricultural operations is affected by weather
conditions, government policy and crop prices. Demand for jet fuel depends upon
prevailing economic conditions and military usage.

Effective January 1, 1996, the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990
mandated the use of reformulated gasolines in nine metropolitan areas of the
United States, including the Houston and Chicago areas served by the System. A
portion of the reformulated and oxygenated gasolines includes methyl tertiary
butyl ether ("MTBE") as a major blending component. Effective July 1, 1999, the
Partnership canceled its tariff for deliveries of MTBE into the Chicago market
area due to reduced demand for transportation of MTBE into such area. The MTBE
tariffs were canceled with the consent of MTBE shippers and resulted in
increased pipeline capacity and tankage available for other products. The
Partnership continues to transport MTBE to its marine terminal near Beaumont,
Texas.

LPGs Mainline Transportation

The Pipeline System transports LPGs from the upper Texas Gulf Coast to
the Central, Midwest and Northeast regions of the United States. The Pipeline
System east of Todhunter, Ohio, is devoted solely to the transportation of LPGs.
Since LPGs demand is generally stronger in the winter months, the Pipeline
System often operates at or near capacity during such time. Propane deliveries
are generally sensitive to the weather and meaningful year to year variations
have occurred and will likely continue to occur.

The Partnership's ability to serve markets in the Northeast is enhanced
by its propane import terminal at Providence, Rhode Island. This facility
includes a 400,000-barrel refrigerated storage tank along with ship unloading
and truck loading facilities. Although the terminal is operated by the
Partnership, the utilization of the terminal is committed by contract to a major
propane marketer through May 2001.

Mont Belvieu LPGs Storage and Pipeline Shuttle

A key aspect of the Pipeline System's LPGs business is its storage and
pipeline asset base in the Mont Belvieu, Texas, complex serving the
fractionation, refining and petrochemical industries. The complex is the largest
of its kind in the United States and provides substantial capacity and
flexibility in the transportation, terminaling and storage of natural gas
liquids, LPGs, petrochemicals and olefins.

The Partnership has approximately 33 million barrels of LPGs storage
capacity, including storage capacity leased to outside parties, at the Mont
Belvieu complex. The Partnership's Mont Belvieu short-haul transportation
shuttle system, consisting of a complex system of pipelines and interconnects,
ties Mont Belvieu to virtually every refinery and petrochemical facility on the
upper Texas Gulf Coast.

Product Sales and Other

The Partnership also derives revenue from the sale of product
inventory, terminaling activities and other ancillary services associated with
the transportation and storage of refined petroleum products and LPGs. Since
March 31, 1998, operations also include fractionation of NGLs.

CUSTOMERS

The Pipeline System's customers for the transportation of refined
petroleum products include major integrated oil companies, independent oil
companies and wholesalers. End markets for these deliveries are primarily (i)
retail service stations, (ii) truck stops, (iii) agricultural enterprises, (iv)
refineries, and (v) military and commercial jet fuel users.

Propane shippers include wholesalers and retailers who, in turn, sell
to commercial, industrial, agricultural and residential heating customers, as
well as utilities who use propane as a fuel source. Refineries constitute the
Partnership's major customers for butane and isobutane, which are used as a
blend stock for gasolines and as a feed stock for alkylation units,
respectively.

At December 31, 1999, the Partnership had approximately 140 customers.
Transportation revenues (and percentage of total revenues) attributable to the
top 10 shippers were $105 million (46%), $90 million (42%), and $85 million
(38%) for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. During
1999 and 1998, billings to Marathon Ashland, LLC, a major integrated oil
company, accounted for approximately 10% of the Partnership's revenues. During
1997, no single customer accounted for 10% or greater of the Partnership's total
revenues. Loss of a business relationship with a significant customer could have
an adverse affect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations
and liquidity of the Partnership.

COMPETITION

The Pipeline System conducts operations without the benefit of
exclusive franchises from government entities. Interstate common carrier
transportation services are provided through the System pursuant to tariffs
filed with the FERC.

Because pipelines are generally the lowest cost method for intermediate
and long-haul overland movement of refined petroleum products and LPGs, the
Pipeline System's most significant competitors (other than indigenous production
in its markets) are pipelines in the areas where the Pipeline System delivers
products. Competition among common carrier pipelines is based primarily on
transportation charges, quality of customer service and proximity to end users.
The General Partner believes the Partnership is competitive with other pipelines
serving the same markets; however, comparison of different pipelines is
difficult due to varying product mix and operations.

Trucks, barges and railroads competitively deliver products in some of
the areas served by the Pipeline System. Trucking costs, however, render that
mode of transportation less competitive for longer hauls or larger volumes.
Barge fees for the transportation of refined products are generally lower than
the Partnership's tariffs. The Partnership faces competition from rail movements
of LPGs in several geographic areas. The most significant area is the Northeast,
where rail movements of propane from Sarnia, Canada, compete with propane moved
on the Pipeline System.

TITLE TO PROPERTIES

The Partnership believes it has satisfactory title to all of its
assets. Such properties are subject to liabilities in certain cases, such as
customary interests generally contracted in connection with acquisition of the
properties, liens for taxes not yet due, easements, restrictions, and other
minor encumbrances. The Partnership believes none of these liabilities
materially affects the value of such properties or the Partnership's interest
therein or will materially interfere with their use in the operation of the
Partnership's business.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

Capital expenditures by the Partnership totaled $69.3 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999. This amount includes capitalized interest of $2.1
million. Approximately $43.8 million of spending was used for

5
8

on-going construction of three new pipelines between the Partnership's terminal
in Mont Belvieu, Texas and Port Arthur, Texas. The project includes three
12-inch diameter common-carrier pipelines and associated facilities. Each
pipeline will be approximately 70 miles in length. Upon completion, the new
pipelines will transport ethylene, propylene and natural gasoline. The cost of
this project is expected to total approximately $75 million. The Partnership has
entered into an agreement for turnkey construction of the pipelines and related
facilities and has separately entered into agreements for guaranteed throughput
commitments. The anticipated commencement date is the fourth quarter of 2000. Of
the remaining $23.4 million of capital expenditures during 1999, approximately
$22.1 million of spending related to life-cycle replacements and upgrading
current facilities, and approximately $1.3 million related to revenue-generating
projects.

The Partnership estimates that capital expenditures for 2000 will be
approximately $57 million (which includes $4 million of capitalized interest).
Approximately $31 million is expected to be used to complete construction of the
three new pipelines between Mont Belvieu and Port Arthur and approximately
$8 million will be used to replace six pipelines under the Houston Ship Channel
as required by the United States Army Corp of Engineers for the deepening of the
channel. Substantially all remaining expenditures are expected to be used for
life-cycle replacements and upgrading current facilities.

REGULATION

The Partnership's interstate common carrier pipeline operations are
subject to rate regulation by the FERC under the Interstate Commerce Act
("ICA"), the Energy Policy Act of 1992 ("Act") and rules and orders promulgated
pursuant thereto. FERC regulation requires that interstate oil pipeline rates be
posted publicly and that these rates be "just and reasonable" and
nondiscriminatory.

Rates of interstate oil pipeline companies, like the Partnership, are
currently regulated by the FERC primarily through an index methodology, whereby
a pipeline is allowed to change its rates based on the change from year to year
in the Producer Price Index for finished goods less 1% ("PPI Index"). In the
alternative, interstate oil pipeline companies may elect to support rate filings
by using a cost-of-service methodology, competitive market showings ("Market
Based Rates") or agreements between shippers and the oil pipeline company that
the rate is acceptable ("Settlement Rates").

In May 1999, the Partnership filed an application with the FERC to
charge Market Based Rates for substantially all refined products transportation
tariffs. Such application is currently under review by the FERC. The FERC
approved a request of the Partnership waiving the requirement to adjust refined
products transportation tariffs pursuant to the PPI Index while its Market Based
Rates application is under review. Under the PPI Index, refined products
transportation rates in effect on June 30, 1999 would have been reduced by
approximately 1.83% effective July 1, 1999. If any portion of the Market Based
Rates application is denied by the FERC, the Partnership has agreed to refund,
with interest, amounts collected after June 30, 1999, under the tariff rates in
excess of the PPI Index. As a result of the refund obligation potential, the
Partnership has deferred all revenue recognition of rates charged in excess of
the PPI Index. At December 31, 1999, the amount deferred for possible rate
refunds, including interest, totaled approximately $0.8 million.

In July 1999, certain shippers filed protests with the FERC on the
Partnership's application for Market Based Rates in four destination markets.
The Partnership believes it will prevail in a competitive market determination
in those destination markets under protest.

Effective July 1, 1999, the Partnership established Settlement Rates
with certain shippers of LPGs under which the rates in effect on June 30, 1999,
would not be adjusted for a period of either two or three years. Other LPGs
transportation tariff rates were reduced pursuant to the PPI Index
(approximately 1.83%), effective July 1, 1999.

In a 1995 decision involving an unrelated oil pipeline limited
partnership, the FERC partially disallowed the inclusion of income taxes in that
partnership's cost of service. In another FERC proceeding involving a different
oil pipeline limited partnership, the FERC held that the oil pipeline limited
partnership may not claim an income tax allowance for income attributable to
non-corporate limited partners, both individuals and other entities. These FERC
decisions do not effect the Partnership's current rates and rate structure
because the Partnership does not use the cost of service methodology to support
its rates. However, the FERC decisions might become relevant to the Partnership
should it (i) elect in the future to use the cost-of-service methodology or (ii)
be required to use such methodology to defend its indexed rates against a
shipper protest alleging that an indexed rate increase substantially exceeds
actual cost increases. Should such circumstances arise, there can be no
assurance with respect to the effect of such precedents on the Partnership's
rates in view of the uncertainties involved in this issue.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

The operations of the Partnership are subject to federal, state and
local laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment. Although
the Partnership believes its operations are in material compliance with
applicable environmental regulations, risks of significant costs and liabilities
are inherent in pipeline operations, and there can be no assurance that
significant costs and liabilities will not be incurred. Moreover, it is possible
that other developments, such as increasingly strict environmental laws and
regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims for damages to
property or persons resulting from its operations, could result in substantial
costs and liabilities to the Partnership.

Water

The Federal Water Pollution Control Act of 1972, as renamed and amended
as the Clean Water Act ("CWA"), imposes strict controls against the discharge of
oil and its derivatives into navigable waters. The CWA provides penalties for
any discharges of petroleum products in reportable quantities and imposes
substantial potential liability for the costs of removing an oil or hazardous
substance spill. State laws for the control of water pollution also provide
varying civil and criminal penalties and liabilities in the case of a release of
petroleum or its derivatives in surface waters or into the groundwater. Spill
prevention control and countermeasure requirements of federal laws require
appropriate containment berms and similar structures to help prevent the
contamination of navigable waters in the event of a petroleum tank spill,
rupture or leak.

Contamination resulting from spills or release of refined petroleum
products is an inherent risk within the petroleum pipeline industry. To the
extent that groundwater contamination requiring remediation exists along the
Pipeline System as a result of past operations, the Partnership believes any
such contamination could be controlled or remedied without having a material
adverse effect on the financial condition of the Partnership, but such costs are
site specific, and there can be no assurance that the effect will not be
material in the aggregate.

The primary federal law for oil spill liability is the Oil Pollution
Act of 1990 ("OPA"), which addresses three principal areas of oil pollution --
prevention, containment and cleanup, and liability. It applies to vessels,
offshore platforms, and onshore facilities, including terminals, pipelines and
transfer facilities. In order to handle, store or transport oil, shore
facilities are required to file oil spill response plans with the appropriate
agency being either the United States Coast Guard, the United States Department
of Transportation Office of Pipeline Safety ("OPS") or the Environmental
Protection Agency ("EPA"). Numerous states have enacted laws similar to OPA.
Under OPA and similar state laws, responsible parties for a regulated facility
from which oil is discharged may be liable for removal costs and natural
resources damages. The General Partner believes that the Partnership is in
material compliance with regulations pursuant to OPA and similar state laws.

The EPA has adopted regulations that require the Partnership to have
permits in order to discharge certain storm water run-off. Storm water discharge
permits may also be required by certain states in which the Partnership
operates. Such permits may require the Partnership to monitor and sample the
effluent. The General Partner believes that the Partnership is in material
compliance with effluent limitations at existing facilities.

Air Emissions

The operations of the Partnership are subject to the federal Clean Air
Act and comparable state and local statutes. The Clean Air Act Amendments of
1990 (the "Clean Air Act") will require most industrial operations in the United
States to incur future capital expenditures in order to meet the air emission
control standards that are to be developed and implemented by the EPA and state
environmental agencies during the next decade. Pursuant to the Clean Air Act,
any Partnership facilities that emit volatile organic compounds or nitrogen
oxides and are located in ozone non-attainment areas will face increasingly
stringent regulations, including requirements that certain sources install the
reasonably available control technology. The EPA is also required to promulgate
new regulations governing the emissions of hazardous air pollutants. Some of the
Partnership's facilities are included within the categories of hazardous air
pollutant sources which will be affected by these regulations. The Partnership
does not anticipate that changes currently required by the Clean Air Act
hazardous air pollutant regulations will have a material adverse effect on the
Partnership.

The Clean Air Act also introduced the new concept of federal operating
permits for major sources of air emissions. Under this program, one federal
operating permit (a "Title V" permit) is issued. The permit acts as an umbrella
that includes all other federal, state and local preconstruction and/or
operating permit provisions, emission standards, grandfathered rates, and record
keeping, reporting, and monitoring requirements in a single document. The
federal operating permit is the tool that the public and regulatory agencies use
to review and enforce a site's compliance with all aspects of clean air
regulation at the federal, state and local level. The Partnership has completed
applications for all twelve facilities for which such regulations apply, and has
received the final permit for eight facilities.

Solid Waste

The Partnership generates hazardous and non-hazardous solid wastes that
are subject to requirements of the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act ("RCRA") and comparable state statutes. Amendments to RCRA require the EPA
to promulgate regulations banning the land disposal of all hazardous wastes
unless the wastes meet certain treatment standards or the land-disposal method
meets certain waste containment criteria. In 1990, the EPA issued the Toxicity
Characteristic Leaching Procedure, which substantially expanded the number of
materials defined as hazardous waste. Certain wastewater and other wastes
generated from the Partnership's business activities previously classified as
nonhazardous are now classified as hazardous due to the presence of dissolved
aromatic compounds. The Partnership utilizes waste minimization and recycling
processes and has installed pre-treatment facilities to reduce the volume of its
hazardous waste. The Partnership currently has three permitted on-site waste
water treatment facilities. Operating expenses of these facilities have not had
a material adverse effect on the financial position or results of operations of
the Partnership.

Superfund

The Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability
Act ("CERCLA"), also known as "Superfund," imposes liability, without regard to
fault or the legality of the original act, on certain classes of persons who
contributed to the release of a "hazardous substance" into the environment.
These persons include the owner or operator of a facility and companies that
disposed or arranged for the disposal of the hazardous substances found at a
facility. CERCLA also authorizes the EPA and, in some instances, third parties
to take actions in response to threats to the public health or the environment
and to seek to recover from the responsible classes of persons the costs they
incur. In the course of its ordinary operations, the Pipeline System generates
wastes that may fall within CERCLA's definition of a "hazardous substance."
Should a disposal facility previously used by the Partnership require clean up
in the future, the Partnership may be responsible under CERCLA for all or part
of the costs required to clean up sites at which such wastes have been disposed.

The Company was notified by the EPA in the fall of 1998 that it might
have potential liability for waste material allegedly disposed by the Company at
the Casmalia Disposal Site in Santa Barbara County, California. The EPA has
offered the Company a de minimus settlement offer of $0.3 million to settle
liability associated with the

8
11

Company's alleged involvement. The Company believes based on the information
furnished by the EPA that it has been erroneously named as an entity that
disposed of waste material at the Casmalia Disposal Site. The Company intends to
continue to vigorously pursue dismissal from this matter.

In December 1999, the Company was notified by EPA of potential
liability for alleged waste disposal at Container Recycling, Inc., located in
Kansas City, Kansas. The Company was also asked to respond to an EPA Information
Request. The Company's response has been filed with the EPA Region VII office.
Based on information the Company has received from the EPA, as well as through
its internal investigations, the Company intends to pursue dismissal from this
matter.

Other Environmental Proceedings

The Partnership and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management
("IDEM") have entered into an Agreed Order that will ultimately result in a
remediation program for any on-site and off-site groundwater contamination
attributable to the Partnership's operations at the Seymour, Indiana, terminal.
A Feasibility Study, which includes the Partnership's proposed remediation
program, has been approved by IDEM. IDEM is expected to issue a Record of
Decision formally approving the remediation program. After the Record of
Decision has been issued, the Partnership will enter into an Agreed Order for
the continued operation and maintenance of the program. The Partnership has
accrued $0.8 million at December 31, 1999 for future costs of the remediation
program for the Seymour terminal. In the opinion of the Company, the completion
of the remediation program will not have a material adverse impact on the
Partnership's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

The Partnership received a compliance order from the Louisiana
Department of Environmental Quality ("DEQ") during 1994 relative to potential
environmental contamination at the Partnership's Arcadia, Louisiana facility,
which may be attributable to the operations of the Partnership and adjacent
petroleum terminals of other companies. The Partnership and all adjacent
terminals have been assigned to the Groundwater Division of DEQ, in which a
consolidated plan will be developed. The Partnership has finalized a negotiated
Compliance Order with DEQ that will allow the Partnership to continue with a
remediation plan similar to the one previously agreed to by DEQ and implemented
by the Company. In the opinion of the General Partner, the completion of the
remediation program being proposed by the Partnership will not have a future
material adverse impact on the Partnership.

SAFETY REGULATION

The Partnership is subject to regulation by the United States
Department of Transportation ("DOT") under the Hazardous Liquid Pipeline Safety
Act of 1979 ("HLPSA") and comparable state statutes relating to the design,
installation, testing, construction, operation, replacement and management of
its pipeline facilities. HLPSA covers petroleum and petroleum products and
requires any entity that owns or operates pipeline facilities to comply with
such regulations, to permit access to and copying of records and to make certain
reports and provide information as required by the Secretary of Transportation.
The Partnership believes it is in material compliance with HLPSA requirements.

The Partnership is also subject to the requirements of the federal
Occupational Safety and Health Act ("OSHA") and comparable state statutes. The
Partnership believes it is in material compliance with OSHA and state
requirements, including general industry standards, record keeping requirements
and monitoring of occupational exposures.

The OSHA hazard communication standard, the EPA community right-to-know
regulations under Title III of the federal Superfund Amendment and
Reauthorization Act, and comparable state statutes require the Partnership to
organize and disclose information about the hazardous materials used in its
operations. Certain parts of this information must be reported to employees,
state and local governmental authorities, and local citizens upon request. In
general, the Partnership expects to increase its expenditures during the next
decade to comply with higher industry and regulatory safety standards such as
those described above. Such expenditures cannot be

9
12

accurately estimated at this time, although the General Partner does not believe
that they will have a future material adverse impact on the Partnership.

The Partnership is subject to OSHA Process Safety Management ("PSM")
regulations which are designed to prevent or minimize the consequences of
catastrophic releases of toxic, reactive, flammable, or explosive chemicals.
These regulations apply to any process which involves a chemical at or above the
specified thresholds; or any process which involves a flammable liquid or gas,
as defined in the regulations, stored on site in one location, in a quantity of
10,000 pounds or more. The Partnership utilizes certain covered processes and
maintains storage of LPGs in pressurized tanks, caverns and wells in excess of
10,000 pounds at various locations. Flammable liquids stored in atmospheric
tanks below their normal boiling point without benefit of chilling or
refrigeration are exempt. The Partnership believes it is in material compliance
with the PSM regulations.

EMPLOYEES

The Partnership does not have any employees, officers or directors. The
General Partner is responsible for the management of the Partnership. As of
December 31, 1999, the General Partner had 757 employees.

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

TOXIC TORT LITIGATION - SEYMOUR, INDIANA

In the fall of 1999, the Company and the Partnership became involved in
a lawsuit in Jackson County Circuit Court, Jackson County, Indiana. In Ryan E.
McCleery and Marcia S. McCleery, et al. v. Texas Eastern Corporation, et al.
(including the Company and Partnership), plaintiffs contend, among other things,
that the Company and other defendants stored and disposed of toxic and hazardous
substances and hazardous wastes in such a manner which caused the materials to
be released into the air, soil and water. They further contend that such release
caused damages to the plaintiffs. In their Complaint, the plaintiffs allege
strict liability for both personal injury and property damage together with
gross negligence, continuing nuisance, trespass, criminal mischief and loss of
consortium. Furthermore, the plaintiffs are seeking compensatory, punitive and
treble damages. The Company has filed an Answer to the Complaint, denying the
allegations, as well as various other motions. This case is in the early stages
of discovery and is not covered by insurance. The Company is defending itself
vigorously against this lawsuit. The Partnership cannot estimate the loss, if
any, associated with this pending lawsuit.

OTHER LITIGATION

In addition to the litigation discussed above, the Partnership has
been, in the ordinary course of business, a defendant in various lawsuits and a
party to various other legal proceedings, some of which are covered in whole or
in part by insurance. The General Partner believes that the outcome of such
lawsuits and other proceedings will not individually or in the aggregate have a
material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial condition, operations or
cash flows.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

The following information is provided to facilitate increased
understanding of the 1999, 1998 and 1997 consolidated financial statements and
accompanying notes of the Partnership included in the Index to Financial
Statements on page F-1 of this report. Material period-to-period variances in
the consolidated statements of income are discussed under "Results of
Operations." The "Financial Condition and Liquidity" section analyzes cash flows
and financial position. Discussion included in "Other Matters" addresses key
trends, future plans and contingencies. Throughout these discussions, management
addresses items that are reasonably likely to materially affect future liquidity
or earnings.

The Partnership is involved in the transportation, storage and
terminaling of petroleum products and the fractionation of NGLs. Revenues are
derived from the transportation of refined products and LPGs, the storage and
short-haul shuttle transportation of LPGs at the Mont Belvieu, Texas, complex,
sale of product inventory and other ancillary services. Labor and electric power
costs comprise the two largest operating expense items of the Partnership.
Operations are somewhat seasonal with higher revenues generally realized during
the first and fourth quarters of each year. Refined products volumes are
generally higher during the second and third quarters because of greater demand
for gasolines during the spring and summer driving seasons. LPGs volumes are
generally higher from November through March due to higher demand in the
Northeast for propane, a major fuel for residential heating.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the year ended December 31, 1999, the Partnership reported net
income of $61.9 million, compared with a net loss of $21.0 million for year
ended December 31, 1998. The net loss in 1998 included an extraordinary charge
of $73.5 million for early extinguishment of debt. Excluding the extraordinary
loss, net income for the year would have been $52.5 million for year ended
December 31, 1998. The $9.4 million increase in income before the loss on debt
extinguishment resulted primarily from a $18.5 million increase in operating
revenues, partially offset by a $7.7 million increase in costs and expenses and
a $1.2 million decrease in other income - net.

For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Partnership reported a net
loss of $21.0 million. The net loss included an extraordinary loss for early
extinguishment of debt of $73.5 million. Excluding the extraordinary loss, net
income for the year would have been $52.5 million, compared with net income of
$61.9 million for 1997. The $9.4 million decrease in income before loss on debt
extinguishment resulted primarily from a $12.9 million decrease in operating
income, partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease in interest expense, net of
capitalized interest.

1999 Compared to 1998

Operating revenues for the year ended 1999 increased 9% to $230.3
million from $211.8 million for the year ended 1998. This $18.5 million increase
resulted from a $3.1 million increase in refined products transportation
revenues, a $6.8 million increase in LPGs transportation revenues, a $2.0
million increase in revenues generated from Mont Belvieu operations and a $6.6
million increase in other operating revenues.

Refined products transportation revenues increased $3.1 million for the
year ended December 31, 1999, compared with the prior year, as a result of a 2%
increase in total refined products volumes delivered and a 1% increase in the
refined products average tariff per barrel. Strong economic demand coupled with
lower refinery production resulted in a 3.1 million barrel increase in jet fuel
volumes delivered and a 2.3 million barrel increase in distillate volumes
delivered. Jet fuel volumes delivered also benefited as a result of new military
supply agreements that became effective in the fourth quarter of 1998. These
increases were partially offset by a 1.8 million barrel decrease in motor fuel
volumes delivered due to unfavorable Midwest price differentials and reduced
refinery production received into the Ark-La-Tex system and a 0.6 million barrel
decrease in natural gasoline volumes delivered attributable to lower feed stock
and blending demand. Additionally, MTBE volumes delivered decreased 0.9 million
barrels as a result of the Partnership canceling its tariffs to Midwest
destinations, effective July 1, 1999. This action was taken with the consent of
MTBE shippers as a result of lower demand for MTBE transportation caused by
changing blending economics, and resulted in increased pipeline capacity and
tankage available for other products. The 1% increase in the refined products
average tariff per barrel was primarily attributable to a higher percentage of
long-haul distillate volumes delivered in the Midwest, partially offset by the
1.83% general tariff reduction pursuant to the Producer Price Index for finished
goods less 1% ("PPI Index"), effective July 1, 1999. The Partnership has
deferred recognition of approximately $0.8 million of revenue with respect to
potential refund obligations for rates charged in excess of the PPI index while
its application for Market Based Rates is under review by FERC. See further
discussion regarding Market Based Rates included in "Other Matters - Market and
Regulatory Environment."

LPGs transportation revenues increased $6.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 1999, compared with the prior year, due to a 17% increase in
volumes delivered, partially offset by a 5% decrease in the average LPGs tariff
per barrel. Propane volumes delivered in the Northeast increased 14% from the
prior year primarily due to colder winter weather during the first and fourth
quarters of 1999. Propane deliveries in the Midwest market area and the upper
Texas Gulf Coast increased 19% and 44%, respectively, from the prior year
primarily due to increased petrochemical feed stock demand. The 5% decrease in
the average LPGs tariff per barrel resulted from the larger percentage of
short-haul barrels during 1999, coupled with the reduction in tariffs rates
pursuant to the PPI Index, effective July 1, 1999.

Revenues generated from Mont Belvieu operations increased $2.0 million
for the year ended December 31, 1999, compared with the prior year, primarily
due to higher storage revenue and increased petrochemical and refinery demand
for shuttle deliveries of LPGs along the upper Texas Gulf Coast.

Other operating revenues increased $6.6 million during the year ended
December 31, 1999, compared with 1998, primarily due to a $3.6 million increase
in gains on the sale of product inventory, a $1.8 million increase in operating
revenues from the fractionator facilities acquired on March 31, 1998, and lower
exchange losses incurred to position product in the Midwest market area.

Costs and expenses increased $7.7 million during the year ended
December 31, 1999, compared with the prior year, due to a $3.4 million increase
in operating, general and administrative expenses, a $2.7 million increase in
operating fuel and power expense, a $1.1 million increase in depreciation and
amortization charges, and a $0.5 million increase in taxes - other than income.
The increase in operating, general and administrative expenses was primarily
attributable to a $2.8 million increase in expenses associated with Year 2000
activities; a $1.5 million increase in rental fees from higher volume through
the connection from Colonial Pipeline at Beaumont; a $1.5 million increase in
labor related expenses attributable to merit increases and increased incentive
compensation accruals, partially offset by lower post retirement benefit
accruals; and increased outside services for pipeline

13
16

maintenance. These increases in operating, general and administrative expenses
were partially offset by $3.4 million of expense recorded in 1998 to write down
the book-value of product inventory to market-value, and lower product
measurement losses. The increase in operating fuel and power expense from the
prior year resulted from increased pipeline throughput. Depreciation and
amortization expense increased as a result of amortization of the value assigned
to the Fractionation Agreement beginning on March 31, 1998, and capital
additions placed in service. The increase in taxes - other than income was
primarily due to a higher property base in 1999 and credits recorded during 1998
for the over accrual of previous years' property taxes.

Interest expense increased $1.6 million during the year ended December
31, 1999, compared with 1998. Approximately $0.6 million of the increase was
attributable to a full year of interest expense in 1999 on the $38 million
term-loan used to finance the purchase of the fractionation assets on March 31,
1998. The remaining increase resulted from $25 million of borrowings during the
second quarter of 1999 against the term loan to finance construction of the
pipelines between Mont Belvieu and Port Arthur, Texas. Capitalized interest
increased during 1999, compared with 1998, as a result of higher balances
associated with construction-in-progress of the new pipelines between Mont
Belvieu and Port Arthur.

Other income - net decreased $1.2 million during the year ended
December 31, 1999, compared with the prior year, as a result of a $0.4 million
gain on the sale of non-carrier assets in June 1998, and lower interest income
earned on cash investments in 1999.

1998 Compared to 1997

Operating revenues for the year ended 1998 decreased 5% to $211.8
million from $222.1 million for the year ended 1997. This $10.3 million decrease
resulted from an $18.5 million decrease in LPGs transportation revenues, a $2.5
million decrease in other operating revenues and a $1.9 million decrease in
revenues generated from Mont Belvieu operations, partially offset by a $12.6
million increase in refined products transportation revenues.

Refined products transportation revenues increased $12.6 million for
the year ended December 31, 1998, compared with the prior year, as a result of
the 9% increase in volumes delivered and a 3% increase in the refined products
average tariff per barrel. The 9% increase in volumes delivered in 1998 was
attributable to (i) favorable Midwest price differentials for motor fuel,
distillate, jet fuel and natural gasoline; and (ii) the full-period impact of
capacity expansions of the mainline System between El Dorado, Arkansas, and
Seymour, Indiana, the Ark-La-Tex System between Shreveport, Louisiana, and El
Dorado, and the connection to the Colonial pipeline at Beaumont, Texas. The 3%
increase in the refined products average tariff per barrel reflects new tariff
structures for volumes transported on the expanded portion of the Ark-La-Tex
system and barrels originating from the pipeline connection with Colonial's
pipeline.

LPGs transportation revenues decreased $18.5 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998, compared with the prior year, due to a 24% decrease in
volumes delivered, partially offset by a 1% increase in the LPGs average tariff
per barrel. Propane revenues decreased $16.7 million, or 25%, from the prior
year primarily due to decreased propane deliveries in the Midwest and Northeast
market areas attributable to warmer winter and spring weather during 1998 and
unfavorable differentials versus competing Canadian product. Butane revenues
decreased $1.7 million, or 13%, from the prior year due primarily to unfavorable
blending economics in the Midwest and termination of a throughput agreement
during the second quarter of 1998. Decreased petrochemical demand along the
upper Texas Gulf Coast resulted in a 32% decrease in short-haul propane
deliveries. The 1% increase in the LPGs average tariff per barrel resulted from
an increase in 1998 of the ratio of long-haul to short-haul propane deliveries.

Revenues generated from Mont Belvieu operations decreased $1.9 million
for the year ended December 31, 1998, compared with the prior year, primarily
due to lower storage revenue, lower product receipt charges and decreased
propane dehydration fees. Additionally, Mont Belvieu shuttle deliveries
decreased 10% during the year ended 1998, compared with the prior year, due to
lower petrochemical and refinery demand for LPGs along the

14
17

upper Texas Gulf Coast. The decrease in the Mont Belvieu shuttle deliveries was
largely offset by a 7% increase in the average tariff per barrel attributable to
a lower percentage in 1998 of contract deliveries, which generally carry lower
tariffs.

Other operating revenues decreased $2.5 million during the year ended
December 31, 1998, compared with 1997, primarily due to decreased product
inventory volumes sold, unfavorable product location exchange differentials
incurred to position system inventory, lower amounts of butane received in the
Midwest for summer storage and decreased terminaling revenues. These decreases
were partially offset by $5.5 million of operating revenues from the
fractionator facilities acquired on March 31, 1998.

Costs and expenses increased $2.6 million during the year ended
December 31, 1998, compared with the prior year, due to a $3.7 million increase
in operating, general and administrative expenses and a $2.3 million increase in
depreciation and amortization charges, partially offset by a $3.0 million
decrease in operating fuel and power expense and a $0.4 million decrease in
taxes - other than income. The increase in operating, general and administrative
expenses was primarily attributable to $3.4 million of expense to write down the
book-value of product inventory to market-value, credits of $3.0 million
recorded during 1997 for insurance recovery of past litigation costs related to
the Seymour terminal, a $0.9 million increase in expenses related to Year 2000
activities, $0.6 million of expense related to the fractionator facilities
acquired on March 31, 1998, and increased product measurement losses. These
increases in operating, general and administrative expenses were partially
offset by expenses recorded for environmental remediation at the Partnership's
Seymour, Indiana, terminal in the third quarter of 1997, and lower supplies and
services related to pipeline operations and maintenance. Depreciation and
amortization expense increased as a result of amortization of the value assigned
to the Fractionation Agreement beginning on March 31, 1998, and capital
additions placed in service. Operating fuel and power expense decreased from the
prior year due primarily to increased mainline pumping efficiencies, lower
long-haul LPGs volumes and lower summer peak power rates in Arkansas.

Interest expense decreased $3.9 million during the year ended December
31, 1998, compared with 1997, as a result of the repayment on January 27, 1998
of the remaining $326.5 million principal balance of the First Mortgage Notes,
partially offset by interest expense on the $390.0 million principal amount of
the Senior Notes issued on January 27, 1998, and interest expense on the $38.0
million term-loan used to finance the purchase of the fractionation assets on
March 31, 1998. The weighted average interest rate of the $326.5 million
principal amount of the First Mortgage Notes was 10.09%, compared with the
weighted average interest rate of the $390.0 million principal amount of the
Senior Notes of 7.02%. The interest rate on the $38.0 million term loan is
6.53%. Interest capitalized decreased $0.7 million from the prior year as a
result of lower construction balances related to capital projects.

Other income - net increased during the year ended December 31, 1998,
compared with the prior year, as a result of a $0.4 million gain on the sale of
non-carrier assets in June 1998 and a $0.5 million loss on the sale of
non-carrier assets in August 1997. These factors were partially offset by lower
interest income earned on cash investments in 1998.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY

Net cash from operations for the year ended December 31, 1999, totaled
$89.8 million, comprised primarily of $89.0 million of income before charges for
depreciation and amortization, and $0.8 million of cash provided by working
capital changes. This compares with cash flows from operations of $83.9 million
for the year ended 1998, which was comprised primarily of $78.6 million of
income before extraordinary loss on early extinguishment of debt and charges for
depreciation and amortization, and $5.3 million of cash provided from working
capital changes. Net cash from operations for the year ended December 31, 1997
totaled $83.6 million, which was comprised of $85.7 million of income before
charges for depreciation and amortization, partially offset by $2.1 million used
for working capital changes. Net cash from operations includes interest payments
of $30.7 million, $27.0 million and $33.6 million for each of the years ended
1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively.

The Partnership routinely invests excess cash in liquid investments as
part of its cash management program. Investments of cash in discounted
commercial paper and Eurodollar time deposits with original maturities at date
of purchase of 90 days or less are included in cash and cash equivalents.
Short-term investments of cash consist of investment-grade corporate notes with
maturities during 2000. Long-term investments are comprised of investment-grade
corporate notes with varying maturities between 2001 and 2004. Interest income
earned on all investments is included in cash from operations. Cash flows from
investing activities included proceeds from investments of $6.3 million, $3.1
million and $25.0 million for each of the years ended 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. Cash flows from investing activities also included additional
investments of $3.2 million, $0.7 million and $6.2 million for each of the years
ended 1999, 1998 and 1997, respectively. Cash balances related to the investment
of cash and proceeds from the investment of cash were $30.0 million, $46.5
million and $56.1 million for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
respectively.

Capital expenditures for the year ended December 31, 1999, totaled
$69.3 million, which included $43.8 million of spending for on-going
construction of three new pipelines between the Partnership's terminal in Mont
Belvieu, Texas and Port Arthur, Texas. The project includes three 12-inch
diameter common-carrier pipelines and associated facilities. Each pipeline will
be approximately 70 miles in length. Upon completion, the new pipelines will
transport ethylene, propylene and natural gasoline. The cost of this project is
expected to total approximately $75 million. The Partnership has entered into an
agreement for turnkey construction of the pipelines and related facilities and
has separately entered into agreements for guaranteed throughput commitments.
The anticipated commencement date is the fourth quarter of 2000. Cash flows used
in investing activities for the year ended December 31, 1998 included $40.0
million for the purchase price of the fractionation assets and related
intangible assets and $22.7 million of capital expenditures, partially offset by
$0.5 million received from the sale of non-carrier assets. Cash flows used in
investing activities for the year ended December 31, 1997 included $32.9 million
of capital expenditures, partially offset by $1.4 million received from the sale
of non-carrier assets and $1.0 million of insurance proceeds related to the
replacement value of a 20-inch diameter auxiliary pipeline at the Red River in
central Louisiana, which was damaged in 1994 and subsequently removed from
service.

The Partnership makes quarterly cash distributions of all of its
Available Cash, generally defined as consolidated cash receipts less
consolidated cash disbursements and cash reserves established by the general
partner in its sole discretion or as required by the terms of the Notes.
Generally, distributions are made 98.9899% to the Parent Partnership and 1.0101%
to the general partner. For the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997,
cash distributions totaled $61.6 million, $56.8 million and $49.0 million,
respectively. The distribution increases reflect the Partnership's success in
improving cash flow levels. On February 4, 2000, the Partnership paid a cash
distribution of $16.1 million for the quarter ended December 31, 1999.

On January 27, 1998, the Partnership completed the issuance of $180
million principal amount of 6.45% Senior Notes due 2008, and $210 million
principal amount of 7.51% Senior Notes due 2028 (collectively the "Senior
Notes"). The 6.45% Senior Notes due 2008 are not subject to redemption prior to
January 15, 2008. The 7.51% Senior Notes due 2028 may be redeemed at any time
after January 15, 2008, at the option of the Partnership, in whole or in part,
at a premium. Net proceeds from the issuance of the Senior Notes totaled
approximately $386 million and was used to repay in full the $61.0 million
principal amount of the 9.60% Series A First Mortgage Notes, due 2000, and the
$265.5 million principal amount of the 10.20% Series B First Mortgage Notes, due
2010. The premium for the early redemption of the First Mortgage Notes totaled
$70.1 million. The repayment of the First Mortgage Notes and the issuance of the
Senior Notes reduced the level of cash required for debt service until 2008. The
Partnership recorded an extraordinary charge of $73.5 million during the first
quarter of 1998, which represents the redemption premium of $70.1 million and
unamortized debt issue costs related to the First Mortgage Notes of $3.4
million.

The Senior Notes do not have sinking fund requirements. Interest on the
Senior Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of
each year. The Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of the Partnership and
will rank on a parity with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness
of the Partnership. The indenture governing the Senior Notes contains covenants,
including, but not limited to, covenants limiting (i)

16
19

the creation of liens securing indebtedness and (ii) sale and leaseback
transactions. However, the indenture does not limit the Partnership's ability to
incur additional indebtedness.

In connection with the purchase of the fractionation assets from DEFS
as of March 31, 1998, TEPPCO Colorado received a $38 million bank loan from
SunTrust Bank. Proceeds from the loan were received on April 21, 1998. The loan
bears interest at a rate of 6.53%, which is payable quarterly. The principal
balance of the loan is payable in full on April 21, 2001. The Partnership is
guarantor on the loan.

On May 17, 1999, the Partnership entered into a $75 million term loan
agreement to finance construction of three new pipelines between the
Partnership's terminal in Mont Belvieu, Texas and Port Arthur, Texas. The loan
agreement has a term of five years. SunTrust Bank is the administrator of the
loan. At December 31, 1999, $25 million has been borrowed under the term loan
agreement. Principal will be paid quarterly beginning in 2001. The interest rate
for the $75 million term loan is based on the borrower's option of either
SunTrust Bank's prime rate, the federal funds rate or LIBOR rate in effect at
the time of the borrowings and is adjusted monthly, bimonthly, quarterly or
semi-annually. Interest is payable quarterly from the time of borrowing. The
current interest rate for amounts outstanding under the term loan is 7.27%.
Commitment fees for the term loan agreement totaled approximately $78,000 for
the period from May 17, 1999 through December 31, 1999.

On May 17, 1999, the Partnership entered into a five-year $25 million
revolving credit agreement. SunTrust Bank is the administrative agent. The
interest rate is based on the borrower's option of either SunTrust Bank's prime
rate, the federal funds rate or LIBOR rate in effect at the time of the
borrowings and is payable quarterly. Interest rates are adjusted monthly,
bimonthly, quarterly or semi-annually. The Partnership has not made any
borrowings under this revolving credit facility. Commitment fees for the
revolving credit agreement totaled approximately $83,000 for the period from
May 17, 1999 through December 31, 1999.

Each of the loan agreements with SunTrust Bank discussed above contains
restrictive financial covenants that require the Partnership to maintain a
minimum level of partners' capital as well as debt-to-earnings, interest
coverage and capital expenditure coverage ratios. At December 31, 1999, the
Partnership was in compliance with all financial covenants related to these loan
agreements.

In March 2000, the Partnership, CMS Energy Corporation and Marathon
Ashland Petroleum LLC announced an agreement to form a limited liability
company that will own and operate an interstate refined petroleum products
pipeline extending from the upper Texas Gulf Coast to Illinois. Each of the
companies will own a one-third interest in the limited liability company. The
Partnership's participation in this joint venture will replace its previously
announced expansion plan to construct a new pipeline parallel to the
Partnership's two existing pipelines from Beaumont, Texas, to Little Rock,
Arkansas.

The limited liability company will build a 70-mile, 24-inch diameter
pipeline connecting the Partnership's facility in Beaumont, Texas, with the
start of an existing 720-mile, 26-inch diameter pipeline extending from
Longville, Louisiana, to Bourbon, Illinois. The pipeline, which has been named
Centennial Pipeline, will pass through portions of seven states--Texas.
Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky and Illinois. CMS
Panhandle Pipe Line Companies, which owns the existing 720-mile pipeline, has
made a filing with the FERC to take the line out of natural gas service as part
of the regulatory process. Conversion of the pipeline to refined products
service is expected to be completed by the end of 2001. The Centennial Pipeline
will intersect the Partnership's existing mainline near Lick Creek, Illinois,
where a new two million barrel refined petroleum products storage terminal
will be built.

OTHER MATTERS

Regulatory and Environmental

The operations of the Partnership are subject to federal, state and
local laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment. Although
the Partnership believes the operations of the Pipeline System are in material
compliance with applicable environmental regulations, risks of significant costs
and liabilities are inherent in pipeline operations, and there can be no
assurance that significant costs and liabilities will not be incurred. Moreover,
it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly strict
environmental laws and regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and
claims for damages to property or persons resulting from the operations of the
Pipeline System, could result in substantial costs and liabilities to the
Partnership. The Partnership does not anticipate that changes in environmental
laws and regulations will have a material adverse effect on its financial
position, operations or cash flows in the near term.

The Partnership and the Indiana Department of Environmental Management
("IDEM") have entered into an Agreed Order that will ultimately result in a
remediation program for any on-site and off-site groundwater contamination
attributable to the Partnership's operations at the Seymour, Indiana, terminal.
A Feasibility Study, which includes the Partnership's proposed remediation
program, has been approved by IDEM. IDEM is expected to issue a Record of
Decision formally approving the remediation program. After the Record of
Decision has been issued, the Partnership will enter into an Agreed Order for
the continued operation and maintenance of the program. The Partnership has
accrued $0.8 million at December 31, 1999 for future costs of the remediation
program for the Seymour terminal. In the opinion of the Company, the completion
of the remediation program will not have a material adverse impact on the
Partnership's financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

20

Year 2000 Issues

In 1997, the Company initiated a program to prepare the Partnership's
process controls and business computer systems for the "Year 2000" issue.
Process controls are the automated equipment including hardware and software
systems which run operational activities. Business computer systems are the
computer hardware and software used by the Partnership. The Partnership incurred
approximately $5.3 million of expense from 1997 through 1999 related to the Year
2000 issue. The Partnership did not encounter any critical system application or
hardware failures during the date roll over to the Year 2000, and has not
experienced any disruptions of business activities as a result of Year 2000
failures encountered by customers, suppliers and service providers.

Market and Regulatory Environment

Tariff rates of interstate oil pipeline companies are currently
regulated by the FERC, primarily through an index methodology, whereby a
pipeline company is allowed to change its rates based on the change from year to
year in the Producer Price Index for finished goods less 1% ("PPI Index"). In
the alternative, interstate oil pipeline companies may elect to support rate
filings by using a cost-of-service methodology, competitive market showings
("Market Based Rates") or agreements between shippers and the oil pipeline
company that the rate is acceptable ("Settlement Rates").

During June 1997, the Partnership filed rate increases on selective
refined products tariffs and LPGs tariffs, averaging 1.7%. These rate increases
became effective July 1, 1997 without suspension or refund obligation. On July
1, 1998, general rate decreases of 0.62% for both refined products tariffs and
LPGs tariffs became effective. The rate decreases were calculated pursuant to
the index methodology promulgated by the FERC.

In May 1999, the Partnership filed an application with the FERC to
charge Market Based Rates for substantially all refined products transportation
tariffs. Such application is currently under review by the FERC. The FERC
approved a request of the Partnership waiving the requirement to adjust refined
products transportation tariffs pursuant to the PPI Index while its Market Based
Rates application is under review. Under the PPI Index, refined products
transportation rates in effect on June 30, 1999 would have been reduced by
approximately 1.83% effective July 1, 1999. If any portion of the Market Based
Rates application is denied by the FERC, the Partnership has agreed to refund,
with interest, amounts collected after June 30, 1999, under the tariff rates in
excess of the PPI Index. As a result of the refund obligation potential, the
Partnership has deferred all revenue recognition of rates charged in excess of
the PPI Index. At December 31, 1999, the amount deferred for possible rate
refunds, including interest, totaled approximately $0.8 million.

In July 1999, certain shippers filed protests with the FERC on the
Partnership's application for Market Based Rates in four destination markets.
The Partnership believes it will prevail in a competitive market determination
in those destination markets under protest.

Effective July 1, 1999, the Partnership established Settlement Rates
with certain shippers of LPGs under which the rates in effect on June 30, 1999,
would not be adjusted for a period of either two or three years. Other LPGs
transportation tariff rates were reduced pursuant to the PPI Index
(approximately 1.83%), effective July 1, 1999. Effective July 1, 1999, the
Partnership canceled its tariff for deliveries of MTBE into the Chicago market
area reflecting reduced demand for transportation of MTBE into such area. The
MTBE tariffs were canceled with the consent of MTBE shippers and resulted in
increased pipeline capacity and tankage available for other products.

21

Other

In February 2000, the Partnership and Louis Dreyfus Plastics
Corporation ("Louis Dreyfus") announced a joint development alliance whereby the
Partnership's Mont Belvieu petroleum liquids storage and transportation shuttle
system assets will be marketed by Louis Dreyfus. The alliance will expand
services to the upper Texas Gulf Coast energy marketplace. The alliance is a
service-oriented, fee-based venture with no commodity trading.

In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, "Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." This statement establishes
standards for and disclosures of derivative instruments and hedging activities.
In July 1999, the FASB issued SFAS No. 137 to delay the effective date of SFAS
No. 133 until fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. The Partnership
expects to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2001. The Partnership has
not determined the impact of this statement on its financial condition and
results of operations.

The matters discussed herein include "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of various provisions of the Securities Act of 1933 and the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of
historical facts, included in this document that address activities, events or
developments that the Partnership expects or anticipates will or may occur in
the future, including such things as estimated future capital expenditures
(including the amount and nature thereof), business strategy and measures to
implement strategy, competitive strengths, goals, expansion and growth of the
Partnership's business and operations, plans, references to future success,
references to intentions as to future matters and other such matters are
forward-looking statements. These statements are based on certain assumptions
and analyses made by the Partnership in light of its experience and its
perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future
developments as well as other factors it believes are appropriate under the
circumstances. However, whether actual results and developments will conform
with the Partnership's expectations and predictions is subject to a number of
risks and uncertainties, including general economic, market or business
conditions, the opportunities (or lack thereof) that may be presented to and
pursued by the Partnership, competitive actions by other pipeline companies,
changes in laws or regulations, and other factors, many of which are beyond the
control of the Partnership. Consequently, all of the forward-looking statements
made in this document are qualified by these cautionary statements and there can
be no assurance that actual results or developments anticipated by the
Partnership will be realized or, even if realized, that they will have the
expected consequences to or effect on the Partnership or its business or
operations.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISKS

The Partnership may be exposed to market risk through changes in
interest rates and commodity prices as discussed below. The Partnership has no
foreign exchange risks.

At December 31, 1999, the Partnership had outstanding $180 million
principal amount of 6.45% Senior Notes due 2008, and $210 million principal
amount of 7.51% Senior Notes due 2028 (collectively the "Senior Notes").
Additionally, the Partnership had a $38 million bank loan outstanding from
SunTrust Bank. The SunTrust loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.53% and is
payable in full in April 2001. At December 31, 1999, the estimated fair value of
the Senior Notes and the SunTrust loan was approximately $356.0 million and
$38.1 million, respectively.

At December 31, 1999, the Partnership had $25 million outstanding under
a variable interest rate term loan. The interest rate for this credit facility
is based on the borrower's option of either SunTrust Bank's prime rate, the
federal funds rate or LIBOR rate in effect at the time of the borrowings and is
adjusted monthly, bimonthly, quarterly or semi-annually. Utilizing the balances
of variable interest rate debt outstanding at December 31, 1999, and assuming
market interest rates increase 1%, the potential annual increase in interest
expense is approximately $0.3 million.

19
22

The Partnership periodically enters into futures contracts to hedge its
exposure to price risk on product inventory transactions. For derivative
contracts to qualify as a hedge, the price movements in the commodity derivative
must be highly correlated with the underlying hedged commodity. Contracts that
qualify as hedges and held for non-trading purposes are accounted for using the
deferral method of accounting. Under this method, gains and losses are not
recognized until the underlying physical transaction occurs. Deferred gains and
losses related to such instruments are reported in the consolidated balance
sheet as current assets or current liabilities. At December 31, 1999, there were
no outstanding futures contracts.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

To the Partners of
TE Products Pipeline Company, Limited Partnership:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of TE
Products Pipeline Company, Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
and the related consolidated statements of income, partners' capital, and cash
flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 1999.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of TE Products
Pipeline Company, Limited Partnership as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
