PART I – FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial statements of Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. presented herein for the nine months ended May 31, 2004 include the results of operations for Energy Transfer Company for the entire period from September 1, 2003 through May 31, 2004, but include the results of operations for Heritage Propane Partners, L.P. (referenced herein as Predecessor Heritage) only for the period from January 20, 2004 to May 31, 2004. Thus, the results of operations do not represent the entire results of operations for Predecessor Heritage for the nine months ended May 31, 2004, as they do not include the results of operations of Predecessor Heritage for the period prior to the Energy Transfer Transactions on January 20, 2004. Please read notes 1 and 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further explanation of the Energy Transfer Transactions.
