Note 1. Partnership Operations, Organization and Basis of Presentation
We are a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, the common units of which are listed on the 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. We are a leading North American provider of midstream energy services to producers and consumers of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, refined products and certain 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, Canada and the Gulf of Mexico with domestic consumers and international markets. Our assets include approximately 50,200 miles of onshore and offshore pipelines; 190 million barrels (“MMBbls”) of storage capacity for NGLs, refined products and crude oil; and 27 billion cubic feet (“Bcf”) of natural gas storage capacity.
Our midstream energy operations include: natural gas gathering, treating, processing, transportation and storage; NGL transportation, fractionation, storage, and import and export terminaling; crude oil and refined products transportation, storage, and terminaling; offshore production platforms; petrochemical transportation and services; and a marine transportation business that operates primarily on the United States inland and Intracoastal Waterway systems and in the Gulf of Mexico. We have six reportable business segments: (i) NGL Pipelines & Services; (ii) Onshore Natural Gas Pipelines & Services; (iii) Onshore Crude Oil Pipelines & Services; (iv) Offshore Pipelines & Services; (v) Petrochemical & Refined Products Services; and (vi) Other Investments. Our business segments reflect the manner in which these businesses are managed and reviewed by the CEO of our general partner. See Note 11 for additional information regarding our business segments.
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 and 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.
Agreement and Plan of Merger with Duncan Energy Partners
On April 28, 2011, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 28, 2011 (the “Duncan Merger Agreement”), by and among Enterprise, Enterprise GP, EPD MergerCo LLC (“Duncan MergerCo,” a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Enterprise), Duncan Energy Partners and DEP GP. At the effective time of the merger, Duncan MergerCo will merge with and into Duncan Energy Partners, pursuant to the Duncan Merger Agreement, with Duncan Energy Partners surviving the merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Enterprise (the “Duncan Merger”), and all of the outstanding Duncan Energy Partners common units at the effective time of the merger will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive common units representing limited partner interests in Enterprise based on an exchange rate of 1.01 Enterprise common units for each Duncan Energy Partners common unit.
ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The Duncan Merger Agreement and the Duncan Merger must be approved by the affirmative vote or consent of holders of (i) a majority of the outstanding common units of Duncan Energy Partners and (ii) a majority of the Duncan Energy Partners common units owned by the Duncan Unaffiliated Unitholders (as defined in the Duncan Merger Agreement) that actually vote for or against such approval. In connection with the Duncan Merger Agreement, we, Duncan Energy Partners and Enterprise GTM Holdings L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and a wholly owned subsidiary of Enterprise (“Enterprise GTM”), entered into a Voting Agreement, dated as of April 28, 2011 (the “Voting Agreement”), pursuant to which Enterprise GTM and Enterprise agreed to vote any of the Duncan Energy Partners common units owned by them or their subsidiaries in favor of the adoption of the Duncan Merger Agreement and the Duncan Merger at any meeting of the Duncan Energy Partners unitholders, including the 33,783,587 Duncan Energy Partners common units currently directly owned by Enterprise GTM (representing approximately 58.5% of the outstanding common units of Duncan Energy Partners). The Voting Agreement will terminate upon the termination of the Duncan Merger Agreement.
The Duncan Merger Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants by each of the parties. Completion of the Duncan Merger is conditioned upon, among other things: (i) requisite Duncan Energy Partners unitholder approval of the Duncan Merger Agreement and the Duncan Merger; (ii) applicable regulatory approvals; (iii) the absence of certain legal injunctions or impediments prohibiting the transactions; (iv) the effectiveness of a registration statement on Form S-4 with respect to the issuance by Enterprise of the Enterprise common units in connection with the Duncan Merger; (v) the receipt of certain tax opinions; and (vi) approval for the listing of the Enterprise common units issued in connection with the Duncan Merger on the NYSE.
Basis of Presentation
Holdings Merger. On November 22, 2010, the Holdings Merger Agreement was approved by the unitholders of Holdings and the merger of Holdings with Holdings MergerCo and related transactions were completed, with Holdings MergerCo surviving such merger. At the effective time of the Holdings Merger, Enterprise GP succeeded as Enterprise’s general partner, and each issued and outstanding unit representing limited partner interests in Holdings was cancelled and converted into the right to receive Enterprise common units based on an exchange ratio of 1.5 Enterprise common units for each Holdings unit. Enterprise issued an aggregate of 208,813,454 of its common units (net of 23 fractional common units cashed out) as consideration in the Holdings Merger and, immediately after the merger, cancelled 21,563,177 of its common units previously owned by Holdings.
In connection with the Holdings Merger, Enterprise’s partnership agreement was amended and restated to effect the cancellation of its general partner’s 2% economic general partner interest and incentive distribution rights in Enterprise. In addition, a privately held affiliate of EPCO agreed to temporarily waive the regular quarterly cash distributions it would otherwise receive from Enterprise on an initial amount of 30,610,000 of Enterprise’s common units (the “Designated Units”) for a five-year period after the merger closing date. The number of Designated Units to which the temporary distribution waiver applies is as follows for distributions to be paid during the following periods, if any: 30,610,000 during 2011; 26,130,000 during 2012; 23,700,000 during 2013; 22,560,000 during 2014; and 17,690,000 during 2015.
Prior to the Holdings Merger, Enterprise was a consolidated subsidiary of Holdings, which was Enterprise’s parent. Upon completion of the Holdings Merger, Holdings merged with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of Enterprise. The Holdings Merger results in Holdings being considered the surviving consolidated entity for accounting purposes, while Enterprise is the surviving consolidated entity for legal and reporting purposes. For accounting purposes, Holdings is deemed the acquirer of the noncontrolling interests in Enterprise that were previously recognized in Holdings’ consolidated financial statements (i.e., the acquisition of Enterprise’s limited partner interests that were owned by parties other than Holdings).
As a result of the Holdings Merger, Enterprise’s consolidated financial and operating results prior to November 22, 2010 have been presented as if it were Holdings from an accounting perspective (i.e., the financial statements of Holdings become the historical financial statements of Enterprise). The primary
ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
differences between Holdings’ and Enterprise’s consolidated results of operations were: (i) general and administrative costs incurred by Holdings and EPGP (our former general partner); (ii) equity in income of Holdings’ noncontrolling ownership interests in Energy Transfer Equity; and (iii) interest expense associated with Holdings’ debt. In addition, for periods prior to November 22, 2010, the net assets, income, cash distributions and contributions and other amounts attributable to Enterprise’s limited partner interests that were owned by third parties and related parties other than Holdings are presented as a component of noncontrolling interest. See Note 10 for additional information regarding noncontrolling interests.
The historical limited partner units outstanding and earnings per unit amounts presented in our financial statements have been retroactively presented in connection with the 1.5 to one unit-for-unit exchange that occurred under the Holdings Merger. See Note 13 for additional information regarding earnings per unit.
Consolidation of Duncan Energy Partners. For financial reporting purposes, we consolidate the financial statements of Duncan Energy Partners with those of our own and reflect its operations in our business segments. We control Duncan Energy Partners through our ownership of its general partner. Public ownership of Duncan Energy Partners’ net assets and earnings are presented as a component of noncontrolling interest in our consolidated financial statements. The borrowings of Duncan Energy Partners are presented as part of our consolidated debt. However, neither Enterprise Products Partners nor EPO have any obligation for the payment of interest or repayment of borrowings incurred by Duncan Energy Partners.
Note 2. General Accounting Matters
Our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year. 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 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, 2010 (the “2010 Form 10-K”).
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Our allowance for doubtful accounts is determined based on specific identification and estimates of future uncollectible accounts. Our procedure for determining the allowance for doubtful accounts is based on: (i) historical experience with customers, (ii) the perceived financial stability of customers based on our research and (iii) the levels of credit we grant to customers. In addition, we may increase the allowance account in response to the specific identification of customers involved in bankruptcy proceedings and similar financial difficulties. On a routine basis, we review estimates associated with the allowance for doubtful accounts to ensure that we have recorded sufficient reserves to cover potential losses. Our allowance also includes estimates for uncollectible natural gas imbalances based on specific identification of accounts.

|

Contingencies
Certain conditions may exist as of the date our 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. Our management and its legal counsel assess such contingent liabilities, 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 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.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in our financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss (if determinable and material), is disclosed. 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 swaps, forwards and other contracts to manage price risks associated with inventories, firm commitments, interest rates and certain anticipated transactions. To qualify for hedge accounting, the item to be hedged must expose us to risk and the related derivative instrument must reduce that exposure and meet specific documentation requirements. We formally designate a derivative instrument as a hedge and document and assess the effectiveness of the hedge at inception and thereafter on a quarterly basis.
We apply the normal purchases/normal sales exception for certain of our derivative instruments, which precludes the recognition of changes in mark-to-market values for these items on our balance sheet or income statement. Revenues and costs for these transactions are recognized when volumes are physically delivered or received.
See Note 4 for additional information regarding our derivative instruments and related hedging activities.
Earnings Per Unit
Earnings per unit is based on the amount of income attributable to limited partners and the weighted-average number of units outstanding during the period. See Note 1 for information regarding the retroactive presentation of earnings per unit amounts for the first quarter of 2010 in connection with the Holdings Merger.
ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Estimates
Preparing our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts presented in the financial statements (i.e. assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses) and disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities. Our actual results could differ from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, management reviews its estimates based on currently available information. Any future changes in facts and circumstances may require updated estimates, which, in turn, could have a significant impact on our financial statements.
Fair Value Information
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash), accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value. See Note 4 for fair value information associated with our derivative instruments.
The estimated fair value of our fixed-rate debt obligations were approximately $13.93 billion and $12.91 billion at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. These values are based on quoted market prices for such debt or debt of similar terms and maturities. The carrying amounts of our variable-rate debt obligations reasonably approximate their fair values due to their variable interest rates.
We do not have any long-term investments in debt or equity securities carried at fair value. See Note 7 for summarized financial information of our investments accounted for using the equity method.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash represents amounts held in connection with our commodity derivative instruments portfolio and related physical natural gas, crude oil and NGL purchases. Additional cash may be restricted to maintain this portfolio as commodity prices fluctuate or deposit requirements change. At March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, our restricted cash amounts were $191.6 million and $98.7 million, respectively. See Note 4 for information regarding derivative instruments and hedging activities.
An allocated portion of the fair value of EPCO’s equity-based awards is charged to us under the ASA. The following table summarizes the expense we recognized in connection with equity-based awards for the periods presented:

Equity-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 includes a credit of $0.6 million associated with UARs. Also, the amount presented for 2010 consists of awards related to limited partnership interests in the Employee Partnerships.
|
|
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.
ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
At March 31, 2011, EPCO’s significant long-term incentive plans applicable to us were the Enterprise Products 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“1998 Plan”), the Amended and Restated 2008 Enterprise Products Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2008 Plan”) and the 2010 Duncan Energy Partners L.P. Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2010 Plan”). In addition, there were unvested awards outstanding under an inactive plan, the Enterprise Products 2006 TPP Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2006 Plan”).
The 1998 Plan provides for awards of our common units and other rights to our non-employee directors and to employees of EPCO and its affiliates providing services to us. Awards under the 1998 Plan may be granted in the form of unit options, restricted common units, phantom units and distribution equivalent rights (“DERs”). Up to 7,000,000 of our common units may be issued as awards under the 1998 Plan. After giving effect to awards granted under the plan through March 31, 2011, a total of 1,318,502 additional common units could be issued.
The 2008 Plan provides for awards of our common units and other rights to our non-employee directors and to consultants and employees of EPCO and its affiliates providing services to us. Awards under the 2008 Plan may be granted in the form of unit options, restricted common units, phantom units, UARs and DERs. Up to 10,000,000 of our common units may be issued as awards under the 2008 Plan. After giving effect to awards granted under the plan through March 31, 2011, a total of 4,685,352 additional common units could be issued.
The 2010 Plan provides for awards to employees, directors or consultants providing services to Duncan Energy Partners. Awards under the 2010 Plan may be granted in the form of options to purchase Duncan Energy Partners’ common units, restricted common units, UARs, phantom units and DERs. Up to 500,000 of Duncan Energy Partners’ common units may be issued as awards under the 2010 Plan. After giving effect to awards granted under the plan through March 31, 2011, a total of 489,986 additional common units could be issued. The Duncan Merger Agreement contains restrictions on the issuance of additional awards under the 2010 Plan. See Note 1 for information regarding the proposed merger of Duncan Energy Partners with a subsidiary of Enterprise.
Restricted Common Unit Awards
Restricted common unit awards allow recipients to acquire (at no cost to the recipient apart from service or other conditions) limited partner units once a defined vesting period expires, subject to customary forfeiture provisions. Restricted common unit awards may be denominated in our common units or those of Duncan Energy Partners depending on the issuer of the award. Restricted common unit awards issued prior to 2010 generally cliff vest four years from the date of grant. Beginning with awards issued in 2010, restricted common unit awards are typically subject to graded vesting provisions in which one-fourth of each award vests on the first, second, third and fourth anniversaries of the date of grant. 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 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 2011 was $59.0 million based on a grant date market price of $43.70 per unit. Estimated forfeiture rates ranging between 4.6% and 17% were applied to these awards.
(3) The aggregate grant date fair value of restricted common unit awards issued in 2011 was $0.1 million based on a grant date market price of $32.56 per unit. These awards 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 by the respective issuer. Since these restricted common units are participating securities, such distributions are included in cash distributions paid to partners (post-Holdings Merger) and cash distributions paid to noncontrolling interest (pre-Holdings Merger) as presented on our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows. The following table presents cash distributions paid with respect to our restricted common units and the total intrinsic value of restricted common units that vested during the periods indicated:

For the EPCO group of companies, the unrecognized compensation cost associated with restricted common unit awards was an aggregate $86.5 million at March 31, 2011, of which our allocated share of the cost is currently estimated to be $84.1 million. We expect to recognize our share of the unrecognized compensation cost for these awards over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.
Unit Option Awards
EPCO’s long-term incentive plans provide for the issuance of non-qualified incentive options. These option awards may be denominated in our common units or those of Duncan Energy Partners depending on the issuer of the award. When issued, the exercise price of each option award may be no less than the market price of the underlying security on the date of grant. In general, these option awards have a vesting period of four years from the date of grant and expire between five and ten years after the date of grant.
The fair value of each unit option is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model, which incorporates various assumptions including expected life of the option, risk-free interest rates, expected distribution yield of the underlying security, and expected unit price volatility. In
ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
general, our assumptions regarding the expected life of the options represents the period of time that the options are expected to be outstanding based on an analysis of our historical option activity. Our selection of risk-free interest rates is based on published yields for U.S. government securities with comparable terms. The unit price volatility and expected distribution yield assumptions are based on several factors, including an analysis of the underlying security’s historical market price and its distribution yield over a period of time equal to the expected life of the option, respectively. Compensation expense recorded in connection with unit options is based on the grant date fair value of such awards, net of an allowance for estimated forfeitures, over the requisite service or vesting period.
The following table presents unit option activity for the periods presented. As of March 31, 2011, only Enterprise has issued unit option awards.

In order to fund its unit option-related obligations, EPCO may purchase common units at fair value either in the open market or directly from us. When employees exercise unit options, we reimburse EPCO for the cash difference between the strike price paid by the employee and the actual purchase price paid by EPCO for the units issued to the employee.

Unit appreciation rights. UARs entitle the recipient to receive a cash payment on the vesting date of the award equal to the excess, if any, of the then current fair market value of the underlying security over the grant date fair value of the award. UARs are accounted for as liability awards. All of the UARs outstanding at March 31, 2011 are denominated in Enterprise common units.

At March 31, 2011, 121,002 UARs that had been granted under the 2006 Plan to certain employees of EPCO who work on our behalf were outstanding. These awards are subject to five-year cliff vesting requirements and are expected to settle in 2012. The grant date fair value with respect to these UARs is based on a unit price of $37.00 for our common units. If the employee resigns prior to vesting, the UARs are forfeited. Equity-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 includes a credit of $0.6 million and an expense of $0.1 million, respectively, associated with UARs.
Limited partnership interests. EPCO granted its key employees who perform services on behalf of us, EPCO and other affiliated companies, limited partnership interests in the Employee Partnerships, which were privately held affiliates of EPCO. These partnerships were liquidated in August 2010. Prior to liquidation, the limited partnership interests entitled each holder to participate in the expected long-term appreciation in value of the equity securities owned by each Employee Partnership. Each Employee Partnership owned either Enterprise common units or Holdings’ units or a combination of both. Equity-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2010 includes $1.9 million of expense associated with these limited partnership interests.
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. Derivatives are financial instruments whose fair value is determined by changes in a specified benchmark such as interest rates or commodity prices. Fair value is generally defined as the amount at which a derivative instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, not in a forced sale. Derivative instruments typically include futures, forward contracts, swaps, options and other instruments with similar characteristics. 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. While all derivatives are required to be reported at fair value on the balance sheet, changes in fair value of the derivative instruments are reported in different ways, depending on the nature and effectiveness of the hedging activities to which they relate. After meeting specified conditions, a qualified derivative may be designated as a total or partial hedge of:
§
|
Changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability, or an unrecognized firm commitment – In a fair value hedge, gains and losses for both the derivative instrument and the hedged item are recognized in income during the period of change.
|
§
|
Variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction – In a cash flow hedge, the effective portion of the hedge is reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into earnings when the forecasted transaction affects earnings.
|
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. The effective portion of a hedge relationship is the amount by which the derivative instrument exactly offsets the change in fair value of the hedged item during the reporting period. Conversely, ineffectiveness represents the change in the fair value of the derivative instrument that does not exactly offset the change in the fair value of the hedged item. 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.
ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
A contract designated as a cash flow hedge of an anticipated transaction that is probable of not 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 Derivative Instruments
We utilize interest rate swaps, treasury locks 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.

Interest rate swaps exchange the stated interest rate paid on a notional amount of debt for the fixed or floating interest rate stipulated in the derivative instrument. Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 reflects a decrease of $9.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively, attributable to interest rate swaps.

In connection with the issuance of Senior Notes AA and BB (see Note 9), we settled three forward starting swaps in January 2011 having a notional amount of $250 million, resulting in a loss of $5.7 million. This loss will be amortized to earnings (as an increase in interest expense) using the effective interest method over the forecasted hedged period.

Our predominant 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
|

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
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 2011, 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 inventory hedging program is to hedge the fair value of natural gas 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 financial 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.
Credit-Risk Related Contingent Features in Derivative Instruments
A limited number of our commodity derivative instruments include provisions related to credit ratings and/or adequate assurance clauses. A credit rating provision provides for a counterparty to demand immediate full or partial payment to cover a net liability position upon the loss of a stipulated credit rating. An adequate assurance clause provides for a counterparty to demand immediate full or partial payment to cover a net liability position should reasonable grounds for insecurity arise with respect to contractual performance by either party. At March 31, 2011, the aggregate fair value of our over-the-counter derivative instruments in a net liability position was immaterial and not subject to any credit rating contingent feature. The potential for derivatives with contingent features to enter a net liability position may change in the future as commodity positions and prices fluctuate.

Over the next twelve months, we expect to reclassify $6.5 million of losses attributable to interest rate derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings as an increase in interest expense. Likewise, we expect to reclassify $114.3 million of losses attributable to commodity derivative instruments from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings, $26.4 million as an increase in operating costs and expenses and $87.9 million as a decrease in revenue.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at a specified measurement date. 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. Recognized valuation techniques employ inputs such as product prices, 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 or disclosed 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.
The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the carrying values of our financial assets and liabilities at the date indicated. These assets and liabilities are measured on a recurring basis and are classified within the table 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.

The characteristics of fair value amounts classified within each level of the hierarchy are described as follows:
§
|
Level 1 fair values are based on quoted prices, which are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the measurement date. Active markets are defined as those in which
|
ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
|
transactions for identical assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency so as to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis (e.g., the New York Mercantile Exchange). Our Level 1 fair values consist of financial assets and liabilities such as exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments.
|
§
|
Level 2 fair values are based on pricing inputs other than quoted prices in active markets (as reflected in Level 1 fair values) and are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date. Level 2 fair values include instruments that are valued using financial models or other appropriate valuation methodologies. Such financial models are primarily industry-standard models that consider various assumptions, including quoted forward prices for commodities, the time value of money, volatility factors, current market and contractual prices for the underlying instruments and other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions (i) are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument; (ii) can be derived from observable data; or (iii) are validated by inputs other than quoted prices (e.g., interest rate and yield curves at commonly quoted intervals). Our Level 2 fair values primarily consist of commodity derivative instruments such as forwards, swaps and other instruments transacted on an exchange or over-the-counter and interest rate derivative instruments. The fair values of these derivative instruments are based on observable price quotes for similar products and locations. The fair value of our interest rate derivatives are determined using financial models that incorporate the implied forward London Interbank Offered Rate yield curve for the same period as the future interest swap settlements.
|
§
|
Level 3 fair values are based on unobservable inputs. Unobservable inputs are used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available, thereby allowing for situations in which there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs reflect management’s ideas about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability (including assumptions about risk). Unobservable inputs are based on the best information available to us in the circumstances, which might include our internally developed data. Level 3 inputs are typically used in connection with internally developed valuation methodologies where we make our best estimate of an instrument’s fair value. Our Level 3 fair values primarily consist of ethane, normal butane and natural gasoline-based contracts with terms greater than one year and certain options used to hedge natural gas storage inventory and transportation capacities. In addition, we often rely on price quotes from reputable brokers who publish price quotes on certain products and compare these prices to other reputable brokers for the same products in the same markets whenever possible. These prices, when combined with data from our commodity derivative instruments, are used in our models to determine the fair value of such instruments.
|
Transfers within the fair value hierarchy routinely occur for certain term contracts as prices and other inputs used for the valuation of future delivery periods become more observable with the passage of time. Other transfers are made periodically in response to changing market conditions that affect liquidity, price observability and other inputs used in determining valuations. Based on an assessment completed during the first quarter of 2011, we transferred ethane, normal butane and natural gasoline-based contracts with terms ranging from two months to one year from Level 3 to Level 2. These transfers were made after a sustained increase in the observability of forward prices for these energy commodity products relative to the date range stated above as demonstrated by narrowing bid/offer spreads, higher transaction volumes and more activity and liquidity for these types of contracts. With the exception of the transfers noted above, no other transfers were made between fair value levels during the quarter.

Nonfinancial Assets and Liabilities
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, certain pipeline assets recorded as property, plant and equipment were adjusted to fair value based on the present value of expected future cash flows (Level 3), resulting in nonrecurring fair value adjustments (i.e., non-cash asset impairment charges) totaling $1.5 million. The non-cash asset impairment charges we recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2010 are a component of operating costs and expenses.

(1) Working inventory is comprised of natural gas, NGLs, crude oil, refined products, lubrication oils and certain petrochemical products that are either available-for-sale or used in the provision for services.
(2) Forward sales inventory consists of identified natural gas, NGL, refined product and crude oil volumes dedicated to the fulfillment of forward sales contracts.
|
|
In those instances where we take ownership of inventory volumes through percent-of-liquids contracts and similar arrangements (as opposed to actually purchasing volumes for cash from third parties), these volumes are valued at market-based prices during the month in which they are acquired. In general, our inventory levels have decreased since December 31, 2010 due to a reduction in propane and butane inventories attributable to seasonal supply and demand fluctuations and a reduction in inventories attributable to the settlement of forward sales contracts.

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. In general, our contractual AROs primarily result from right-of-way agreements associated with our pipeline operations and leases of plant sites. In addition, we have recorded AROs based on government regulations triggered by the abandonment or retirement of (i) certain underground storage facilities and related above-ground brine storage pits, (ii) offshore Gulf of Mexico assets and (iii) certain marine vessels. Our AROs may also result from regulatory requirements associated with the renovation or demolition of certain assets containing hazardous substances such as asbestos.
The following table presents information regarding our AROs since December 31, 2010:

(1) Holdings’ investment in Energy Transfer Equity exceeded its share of the historical cost of the underlying net assets of such investee by $1.66 billion in May 2007. At March 31, 2011, this basis differential decreased to $1.52 billion and consisted of the following: $481.3 million attributed to fixed assets; $509.7 million attributed to the IDRs (an indefinite-life intangible asset) held by Energy Transfer Equity in the cash flows of ETP; $191.7 million attributed to amortizable intangible assets and $333.3 million attributed to equity method goodwill. These unamortized excess cost amounts are being amortized over their estimated economic lives of 20-27 years.
|
|
We amortize such excess cost amounts as a reduction in equity earnings in a manner similar to depreciation. The following table presents our amortization of such excess cost amounts by business segment for the periods presented:
