Cautionary Statement About Forward-Looking Statements

Our reports, filings and other public announcements may from time to time contain statements that do not directly or exclusively relate to historical facts. Such statements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You can typically identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking words, such as “may,” “could,” “project,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “expect,” “estimate,” “potential,” “plan,” “forecast” and other similar words.

All statements that are not statements of historical facts, including statements regarding our future financial position, business strategy, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management for future operations, are forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements reflect our intentions, plans, expectations, assumptions and beliefs about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside our control. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements include known and unknown risks. These risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, include, but are not limited to the risks set forth in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” as well as the following:

 
our ability to access the debt and equity markets, which will depend on general market conditions and the credit ratings for our debt obligations;
 
the amount of collateral required to be posted from time to time in our transactions;
 
our success in risk management activities, including the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge commodity and interest rate risks;

2


 
the level of creditworthiness of counterparties to transactions;
 
changes in laws and regulations, particularly with regard to taxes, safety and protection of the environment;

2


 
the timing and extent of changes in natural gas, natural gas liquids and other commodity prices, interest rates and demand for our services;
 
weather and other natural phenomena;
 
industry changes, including the impact of consolidations and changes in competition;
 
our ability to obtain necessary licenses, permits and other approvals;
 
the level and success of crude oil and natural gas drilling around our assets and our success in connecting natural gas supplies to our gathering and processing systems and NGL supplies to our logistics and marketing facilities;
 
our ability to grow through acquisitions or internal growth projects and the successful integration and future performance of such assets;
 
general economic, market and business conditions; and
 
the risks described in this Quarterly Report on form 10-Q and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.2008 (“the Annual Report”).
 

Although we believe that the assumptions underlying our forward-looking statements are reasonable, any of the assumptions could be inaccurate, and, therefore, we cannot assure you that the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report will prove to be accurate. Some of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements are more fully described under the heading Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.Report. Except as may be required by applicable law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or advise of any change in any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

TARGA RESOURCES, INC.
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
(Unaudited)
Except as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure, the dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnote disclosures are stated in thousands of dollars.
 
Note 1—Organization and Basis of Presentation
 
Targa Resources, Inc. is a Delaware corporation formed on February 26, 2004. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company” or “Targa” are intended to mean the consolidated business and operations of Targa Resources, Inc.
 
We are a second-tier, wholly owned subsidiary of our parent holding company, Targa Resources Investments Inc. (“Targa Investments”). The only significant asset of Targa Investments is its ownership of 100% of the outstanding capital stock of an intermediate holding company, whose sole asset is its ownership of 100% of our outstanding capital stock, which consists of one thousand shares of common stock.
 
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The year-end balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2009 and 2008 include all adjustments, both normal and recurring, which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our financial results for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2009. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
We currently own approximately 26.4%33.9% of Targa Resources Partners LP (the “Partnership”), including our 2% general partner interest. Targa Resources GP LLC, the general partner of the Partnership, is wholly owned by us. The Partnership is consolidated within our Gas Gathering and Processing segmentfinancial statements under the presumption of control in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 04-5, “Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights ..”GAAP.
 
The noncontrolling interest in our consolidated balance sheets consists primarily of the investment by partners other than Targa Resources, Inc., including those partners’ share of the net income, distributions and accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of the Partnership. Noncontrolling interest in net income on our consolidated statements of operations consists primarily of those partners’ share of the net income of the Partnership.

In preparing the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements, the Company has reviewed, as determined necessary by the Company, events that have occurred after September 30, 2009, up until the issuance of the financial statements, which occurred on November 9, 2009. See Notes 4 and 13.
Note 2—Accounting Policies and Related MattersOut of Period Adjustments

Accounting Standards Codification. It is expected thatWe recorded adjustments related to prior periods which decreased our income before income taxes for the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification” (the “Codification”) will be effectivethree and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 by $4.5 million and $5.4 million, recorded as loss on July 1, 2009, officially becoming the single sourceearly extinguishment of authoritative nongovernmental GAAP, superseding existing FASB, American Institutedebt.  The adjustments consisted of Certified Public Accountants, Emerging Issues Task Force,$6.3 million and related accounting literature. After that date, only one level of authoritative GAAP will exist. All other accounting literature will be considered non-authoritative. The Codification reorganizes the thousands of GAAP pronouncements into roughly 90 accounting topics and displays them using a consistent structure. Also included$7.2 million in the Codification is relevant Securitiesrespective periods related to debt issue costs that should have been expensed during 2007, and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) guidance organized using$1.8 million and $1.8 million in the same topical structurerespective periods of revenue which should have been recorded during 2006.

Had these adjustments been previously recorded in separate sections withintheir appropriate periods, net income (loss) attributable to Targa for the Codification. This willthree and nine month periods ended September 30, 2009 would have an impact to our financial statements since all future references to authoritative accounting literature will be references in accordance with the Codification.

increased by $2.8 million and $3.4 million.

After evaluating the quantitative and qualitative aspects of these errors, we concluded that our previously issued financial statements were not materially misstated and the effect of recognizing these adjustments during the third quarter of 2009 on full year 2009 are not expected to be material.

In September 2006, FASB issuedOn July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issuance of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 157, “Fair168, “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles—a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162.” established the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“Codification” or “ASC”) as the source of authoritative GAAP recognized to be applied by nongovernmental entities. Rules and interpretive releases of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under authority of federal securities laws are also sources of authoritative GAAP for SEC registrants. The Codification is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. On the effective date, the Codification superseded all then-existing non-SEC accounting and reporting standards. All other non-grandfathered non-SEC accounting literature not included in the Codification has become non-authoritative.

Following the issuance of the Codification, FASB will not issue new standards in the form of Statements, FASB Staff Positions, or Emerging Issues Task Force Abstracts. Instead, it will issue Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”). FASB will not consider ASUs as authoritative in their own right. They will serve only to update the Codification, provide background information about the guidance, and provide the basis for conclusions on the change(s) in the Codification.

Fair Value Measurements”.Measurements

In September 2006, FASB issued SFAS 157 (ASC 820), “Fair Value Measurements.” ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157ASC 820 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements, and accordingly, does not require any new fair value measurements. SFAS 157The guidance in ASC 820 was initially effective as of January 1, 2008, but in February 2008, FASB delayed the effective date for applying this standardthe guidance to nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a nonrecurring basis, until periods beginning after November 15, 2008. We adopted SFAS 157the guidance in ASC 820 as of January 1, 2008 forwith respect to financial assets and liabilities within its scope and the impact was not material to our financial statements. As of January 1, 2009, nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities were also required to be measured at fair value. The adoption of these additional provisions did not have a material impact on our financial statements. See Note 12,14.

On October 10, 2008,In March 2009, FASB released Proposed Staff Position SFAS 157-e (ASC 820), “Determining Whether a Market Is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed.”  This proposal provides additional guidance in determining whether a market for a financial asset is not active and a transaction is not distressed for fair value measurement purposes as defined in ASC 820. This guidance is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, but early adoption is permitted for interim periods ending after March 15, 2009.  We adopted this guidance as of April 1, 2009. This guidance did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

In March 2009, FASB issued Proposed Staff Position SFAS 115-a, SFAS 124-a, and EITF 99-20-b (ASC 320), “Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments.”  This update to ASC 320 provides guidance in determining whether impairments in debt securities are other than temporary, and modifies the presentation and disclosures surrounding such instruments.  This guidance is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, but early adoption is permitted for interim periods ending after March 15, 2009.  We adopted the provisions of this guidance as of April 1, 2009. Our adoption did not have a significant impact on our financial statements.

In April 2009, FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-3,157-4 (ASC 820), “Determining Fair Value When the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying

Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” This update to ASC 820 provides guidance for determining fair values when there is no active market or where the price inputs being used represent distressed sales. Specifically, it reaffirms the need to use judgment to ascertain if a formerly active market has become inactive and in determining fair values when markets have become inactive. We adopted the guidance as of June 30, 2009. There have been no material financial statement implications relating to our adoption of the guidance.

In April 2009, FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 (ASC 270),Determining theInterim Disclosures about Fair Value of a Financial Asset When the Market for That Asset is Not ActiveInstruments.” FSP FAS 157-3 clarifies the applicationASC 270 requires disclosures of SFAS 157 in a market that is not active and provides factors to take into consideration when determining the fair value for any financial instruments not currently reflected at fair value on the balance sheet for all interim periods. We adopted the updated provisions of an asset in an inactive market. FSP FAS 157-3 was effective upon issuance, including prior periods for whichASC 270 as of June 30, 2009. There have been no material financial statements have not been issued. FSP FAS 157-3 did not have a material impact on our financial statements.statement implications relating to this adoption. See Note 16.

Business Combinations

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS 141R (ASC 805), Business Combinations.SFAS 141RASC 805 requires the acquiring entity in a business combination to recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction, establishes the acquisition-date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed and requires the acquirer to disclose certain information related to the nature and financial effect of the business combination. SFAS 141RASC 805 also establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer recognizes any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired in a business combination. SFAS 141RASC 805 was effective on a prospective basis for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. For any business combination that takes place subsequent to January 1, 2009, SFAS 141RASC 805 may have a material impact on our financial statements. The nature and extent of any such impact will depend upon the terms and conditions of the transaction.

OnIn April 1, 2009, FASB issued FSP FAS 141R-1 (ASC 805),Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination that Arise from Contingencies.Contingencies.FSP FAS 141R-1This update to ASC 805 amends and clarifies SFAS 141R to address application issues on initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. This FSPupdate is effective for assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after January 1, 2009. We do not expect anyThere have been no material financial statement implications relating to the adoption of this FSP.update.

Other

In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS 160 (ASC 810),Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51.SFAS 160ASC 810 requires all entities to report noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as a separate component of equity in the consolidated statement of financial position, to clearly identify consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest on the face of the consolidated statement of income, and to provide sufficient disclosure that clearly identifies and distinguishes between the interest of the parent and the interests of noncontrolling owners. SFAS 160ASC 810 also establishes accounting and reporting standards for changes in a parent’s ownership interest and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. We adopted SFAS 160ASC 810 as of January 1, 2009. As a result, previously presented amounts have been conformed to the required presentation and additional disclosures have been provided.

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued
On April 9,In May 2009, FASB issued FSP FAS 157-4,SFAS 165 (ASC 855),Determining Fair Value WhenSubsequent Events.” ASC 855 establishes general standards of accounting for and disclosure of events that occur after the Volumebalance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued. ASC 855 sets forth (1) the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity should evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements, (2) the circumstances under which an entity should recognize events or transactions occurring after the balance sheet date in its financial statements, and Level of Activity for(3) the Assetdisclosures that an entity should make about events or Liability Have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions That Are Not Orderly.” FSP FAS 157-4 relates to determining fair values when there is no active market or wheretransactions that occurred after the price inputs being used represent distressed sales.

In March 2009, FASB released Proposed Staff Position SFAS 157-e, “Determining Whether a Market Is Not Active and a Transaction Is Not Distressed.”  This proposal provides additional guidance in determining whether a market for a financial asset is not active and a transaction is not distressed for fair value measurement purposes as defined in SFAS 157. SFAS 157-e is effective for interim periods ending after June 15, 2009, but early adoption is permitted for interim periods ending after March 15, 2009.  We plan to adopt the provisions of SFAS 157-e as of April 1, 2009, but do not believe this guidance will have a significantmaterial impact on our financial statements.

Note 7—Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate for the first quarter of 2009 is a net benefit of 8.1%, comprising a 17.8% Federal benefit and a 9.7% provision for state taxes. The state tax rate is primarily attributable to Texas margin tax. The reported Federal tax benefit is primarily the result of our adoptionimplementation of SFAS 160. Although SFAS 160 did not change(ASC 810) had a significant impact on our computationpresentation of income tax expense. Whereas in prior years our consolidated income before income taxes was presented after the deduction of minority interest expense, the denominator in our effective rate calculation does not include a deduction fornew income statement format required under this standard presents this expense (now called “net income attributable to noncontrolling interests.interest”) after the presentation of income tax expense. Because our non-wholly owned consolidated subsidiaries are limited liability companies and limited partnerships that are generally not subject to entity level taxation, income tax expense has not been provided on net income attributable to noncontrolling interest. As a result, our effective tax rate is lower even though the determination of our total provision for income taxes has not changed.

11¼% Senior Unsecured Notes of the Partnership due July 15, 2017

On July 6, 2009, the Partnership completed the private placement under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 11¼% senior notes due 2017 (the “11¼% Notes”). The 11¼% Notes were issued at 94.973% of the face amount, resulting in gross proceeds of $237.4 million. Proceeds from the 11¼% Notes were used to repay borrowings under the Partnership’s credit facility.

The 11¼% Notes:

·are the Partnership’s unsecured senior obligations;

·
rank pari passu in right of payment with the Partnership’s existing and future senior indebtedness, including indebtedness under its senior secured revolving credit facility;

·are senior in right of payment to any of the Partnership’s future subordinated indebtedness; and

·are unconditionally guaranteed by the Partnership.

The 11¼% Notes are effectively subordinated to all indebtedness under the Partnership’s credit agreement, which is secured by substantially all of its assets, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness.

Interest on the 11¼% Notes accrues at the rate of 11¼% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15, commencing on January 15, 2010. Interest is computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprising twelve 30-day months.

At any time prior to July 15, 2012, the Partnership may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 11¼% Notes with the net cash proceeds of certain equity offerings by the Partnership at a redemption price of 111.25% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, provided that:

(1) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 11¼% Notes (excluding Notes held by the Partnership) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption; and

(2) the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.

Prior to July 15, 2013, the Partnership may also redeem all or a part of the 11¼% Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 11¼% Notes redeemed plus the applicable premium as defined in the indenture as of, and accrued and unpaid interest to, the date of redemption.

On or after July 15, 2013, the Partnership may redeem all or a part of the 11¼% Notes at the redemption prices set forth below (expressed as percentages of principal amount) plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 11¼% Notes redeemed, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on July 15 of each year indicated below:

Year Percentage 
2013  105.625%
2014  102.813%
2015 and thereafter  100.000%

The 11¼% Notes are subject to a registration rights agreement dated as of July 6, 2009. Under the registration rights agreement, the Partnership is required to file by July 9, 2010 a registration statement with respect to any 11¼% Notes that are not freely transferable without volume restrictions by holders of the 11¼% Notes that are not the Partnership’s affiliates. If the Partnership fails to do so, additional interest will accrue on the principal amount of the 11¼% Notes. The Partnership has determined that the payment of additional interest is not probable. As a result,

12


the Partnership has not recorded a liability for any contingent obligation. Any subsequent accrual of a liability under this registration rights agreement will be charged to earnings as interest expense.

11¼% Notes Repurchases

During the third quarter of 2009, the Partnership repurchased $18.7 million face value ($17.8 million carrying value, net of issue discount) of its 11¼% Notes for $18.9 million plus accrued interest of $0.3 million. The Partnership recognized a loss on the debt repurchases of $1.5 million, including $0.4 million in debt issue costs associated with the repurchased notes.

Commitment Increase by the Partnership

On July 29, 2009, the Partnership executed a Commitment Increase Supplement (the “Supplement”) to its senior secured revolving credit facility. The Supplement increased the commitments under the Partnerships’ senior secured revolving credit facility by $127.5 million, bringing the total commitments to $977.5 million. The Partnership may request additional commitments under its senior secured revolving credit facility of up to $22.5 million, which would increase the total commitments under the senior secured revolving credit facility to $1 billion.

Note 9—11—Stock and Other Compensation Plans
 
Stock Option Plans
 
Share-based compensation cost related to stock options included in general and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2009 was $0.1 million. Share-based compensation cost related to stock options included in general and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $33,000less than $0.1 million and $15,000.$0.2 million. As of March 31,September 30, 2009, our remaining unamortized compensation cost related to stock options was $0.1$0.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately one year.three months.
 
Non-vested (Restricted) Common Stock
 
Share-based compensation cost related to restricted stock included in general and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $0.1 million and $0.4$0.3 million. Share-based compensation cost related to restricted stock included in general and administrative expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 was $0.2 million and $0.8 million. As of March 31,September 30, 2009, our remaining unamortized compensation cost related to restricted stock was $0.2$0.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately one year.two months.
 
Incentive Plans related to the Partnership’s Common Units
 
Non-Employee Director Grants. OnIn January 22, 2009, the general partner of the Partnership awarded 32,000 restricted common units of the Partnership (4,000 restricted common units to each of the Partnership’s non-management directors and to each of Targa Investments’ independent directors).
 
Compensation expense on the restricted common units is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. The fair value of an award of restricted common units is measured on the grant date using the market price of a common unit on such date. For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2009, and 2008, we recognized compensation expense of less than $0.1$0 and $0.2 million related to these awards. We estimate that theThe remaining fair value of $0.4$0.3 million will be recognized in expense over a weighted average period of approximately two years.one year. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized compensation expense of $0.1 million and $0.2 million related to these awards.
15

 
Performance Units.  In January 2009, 122,100There were 536,100 performance units were awarded during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, under Targa Investments’ long-term incentive plan. Upon vesting, each performance unit will entitle the awardee to a cash payment equal to the then value of a Partnership common unit, including distribution equivalent rights. Vesting of performance units is based on the total return per common unit of the Partnership through the end of the performance period, relative to the total return of a defined peer group.

12


 
As of March 31,September 30, 2009, the aggregate fair value of performance units expected to vest was $7.3$29.4 million. For the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2009, we recognized compensation expense related to the performance units of $4.6 million and $6.4 million. The weighted average recognition period for the remaining unrecognized compensation cost is approximately two years. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized compensation expense related to the performance units of $0.6($0.2) million and $0.1$0.7 million. The recognition period for the remaining unrecognized compensation cost is approximately three years.
 
Note 10—Hurricane 12—Insurance Claims

Certain of our Louisiana and Texas facilities sustained damage and had disruption to their operations during the 2008 hurricane season from two Gulf Coast hurricanes—Gustav and Ike. As of December 31, 2008, we recorded a $19.3 million loss provision (net of estimated insurance reimbursements) related to the hurricanes. ThatDuring the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the estimate remains unchanged.was reduced by $3.7 million.

During the first quarter ofthree and nine months ended September 30, 2009, expenditures related to the hurricanes included $17.5$3.7 million and $32.8 million for repairspreviously accrued repair costs, and $4.3$0.5 million and $7.8 million capitalized as improvements.

Our initial purchase price allocation for improvements. In addition, we executed a proof of lossthe DMS acquisition in October 2005 included an $81.1 million receivable for $5.9 million, comprising $4.7 million forinsurance claims related to expenditures to repair pre-acquisition property damage insurance claimscaused by Hurricanes Katrina and $1.2 million forRita in 2005. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, our cumulative receipts exceeded such amount and accordingly, we recognized a gain of $18.6 million.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, we recognized revenue from business interruption insurance claims.receipts of:

Note 11—13—Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Our principal market risks are our exposure to changes in commodity prices, particularly to the prices of natural gas and NGLs, changes in interest rates, as well as nonperformance by our counterparties.

Commodity Price Risk. A majority of our revenues are derived from percent-of-proceeds contracts under which we receive a portion of the natural gas and/or NGLs, or equity volumes, as payment for services. The prices of natural gas and NGLs are subject to market fluctuations in response to changes in supply, demand, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond our control. We monitor these risks and enter into commodity derivative transactions designed to mitigate the impact of commodity price fluctuations on our business. Cash flows from a derivative instrument designated as a hedge are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the item being hedged.

The primary purpose of our commodity risk management activities is to hedge our exposure to commodity price risk and reduce fluctuations in our operating cash flow despite fluctuations in commodity prices. In an effort to reduce the variability of our cash flows, as of March 31,September 30, 2009, we have hedged the commodity price associated with a significant portion of our expected natural gas, NGL and condensate equity volumes for the years 2009 through 2013 by entering into derivative financial instruments including swaps and purchased puts (or floors). The percentages of our expected equity volumes that are hedged decrease over time. With swaps, we typically receive an agreed upon fixed price for a specified notional quantity of natural gas or NGL and we pay the hedge counterparty a
floating price for that same quantity based upon published index prices. Since we receive from our customers substantially the same floating index price from the sale of the underlying physical commodity, these transactions are designed to effectively lock-in the agreed fixed price in advance for the volumes hedged. In order to avoid having a greater volume hedged than our actual equity volumes, we typically limit our use of swaps to hedge the prices of less than our expected natural gas and NGL equity volumes. We utilize purchased puts (or floors) to hedge additional expected equity commodity volumes without creating volumetric risk. Our commodity hedges may expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances. Our hedging arrangements provide us protection on the hedged volumes if market prices decline below the prices at which these hedges are set. If market prices rise above the prices at which we have hedged, we will receive less revenue on the hedged volumes than we would receive in the absence of hedges.

We have tailored our hedges to generally match the NGL product composition and the NGL and natural gas delivery points to those of our physical equity volumes. Our NGL hedges cover baskets of ethane, propane, normal butane, iso-butane and natural gasoline based upon our expected equity NGL composition. We believe this strategy avoids uncorrelated risks resulting from employing hedges on crude oil or other petroleum products as “proxy” hedges of NGL prices. Additionally, our NGL hedges are based on published index prices for delivery at Mont Belvieu and our natural gas hedges are based on published index prices for delivery at Waha,Columbia Gulf, Houston Ship channel,Channel, Permian Basin, Mid-Continent and Mid-Continent,Waha, which closely approximate our actual NGL and natural gas delivery points. We hedge a portion of our condensate sales using crude oil hedges that are based on the NYMEX futures contracts for West Texas Intermediate light, sweet crude.

13


Interest Rate Risk. We are exposed to changes in interest rates, primarily as a result of our variable rate debtborrowings under our and the Partnership’s credit facility.facilities. To the extent that interest rates increase, our interest expense for our revolving debt will also increase. As of March 31,September 30, 2009, we had outstanding variable rate borrowings of approximately $1,103$65.3 million and the Partnership had outstanding variable rate borrowings of $510.5 million. In an effort to reduce the variability of our cash flows, we have entered into several interest rate swap and interest rate basis swap agreements. Under these agreements, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges, the base interest rate on the specified notional amount of our variable rate debt is effectively fixed for the term of each agreement and ineffectiveness is required to be measured each reporting period.  The fair values of the interest rate swap agreements, which are adjusted regularly, have been aggregated by counterparty for classification in our consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses relating to the interest rate swaps are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“OCI”)OCI until the interest expense on the related debt is recognized in earnings.

Credit Risk. Our credit exposure related to commodity derivative instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts with a net positive fair value to us at the reporting date.  At such times, these outstanding instruments expose us to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. Should the

17


creditworthiness of one or more of our counterparties decline, our ability to mitigate nonperformance risk is limited to a counterparty agreeing to either a voluntary termination and subsequent cash settlement or a novation of the derivative contract to a third party. In the event of a counterparty default, we may sustain a loss and our cash receipts could be negatively impacted.

As of March 31,September 30, 2009, affiliates of Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Barclays Bank and Bank of America (“BofA”) accounted for 56%70%, 24%15% and 20%13% of our counterparty credit exposure related to commodity derivative instruments. Goldman Sachs, Merrill LynchBarclays Bank and Barclays BankBofA are major financial institutions, each possessing investment grade credit ratings based upon minimum credit ratings assigned by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc.Services.

As of March 31,September 30, 2009, OCI consisted of $139.3$22.8 million ($120.119.9 million, net of tax) of unrealized net gains on commodity hedges, and $21.6$13.1 million ($19.511.4 million, net of tax) of unrealized net losses on interest rate hedges. Deferred net gains of $84.1$79.9 million on commodity hedges and deferred net losses of $11.9$13.7 million on interest rate hedges recorded in OCI are expected to be reclassified to revenues from third parties and interest expense during the next twelve months.

The fair value of our derivative instruments, depending on the type of instrument, are determined by the use of present value methods and standard option valuation models with assumptions about commodity price risk and interest rate risk based on those observed in underlying markets.

Interest Rate Hedges

Our consolidated variable rate indebtedness accrues interest at a fixed base rate plus an applicable margin. OurOn September 24, 2009, we paid down our variable rate debt to $65.3 million. Accordingly all but $65.3 million of our interest rate hedges became ineffective and were dedesignated as they no longer qualified for hedge accounting. On these dedesignated hedges, we recorded a mark-to-market gain of $0.2 million for the period from September 24, 2009 to September 30, 2009. The fair value of the dedesignated interest rate swaps at September 30, 2009 was a liability of $1.9 million. The remaining $65.3 million notional amount effectively fixfixes the base rate on the indicated notional amount$65.3 million of borrowings for the indicated periods:

Subsequent Event. In October 2009, we made payments of $3.2 million to terminate all of our interest rate hedges.

 
In addition, the Partnership’s interest rate swaps and interest rate basis swaps effectively fix the base rate on the indicated notional amount of borrowings as shown below:

We have designated all interest rate swaps and interest rate basis swaps as cash flow hedges, except for the designated portion of our interest rate hedges. Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses relating to the swaps are recorded in OCI until interest expense on the related debt is recognized in earnings.

Note 12—14—Fair Value Measurements

We classify our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring and nonrecurring basis using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring us to develop our own assumptions.

The following table sets forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31,September 30, 2009. These financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment, and may affect the valuation of the fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Environmental
 
For environmental matters, we record liabilities when remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position No. 96-1, “Environmental Remediation Liabilities.estimated. Environmental reserves do not reflect management’s assessment of the insurance coverage that may be applicable to the matters at issue. Management has assessed each of the matters based on current information and made a judgment concerning its potential outcome, considering the nature of the claim, the amount and nature of damages sought and the probability of success.

We have been in discussions with the New Mexico Environment Department (“NMED”) to resolve alleged air emissions violations at the Eunice, Monument and Saunders gas processing plants. In May 2007, the NMED initially provided us with a draft compliance order proposing to resolve certain of these alleged violations, which were identified in the course of an inspection of the Eunice plant conducted by the NMED in August 2005. In December 2007, the NMED offered a settlement containing a proposed penalty of approximately $2 million to resolve the alleged violations arising out of the August 2005 inspection of the Eunice plant.  We have since discussed with the NMED an expansion of the proposed compliance order to include the resolution of other alleged violations associated with the operation of flares at the Eunice, Monument and Saunders plants and to install air pollution control technology. We may incur additional operating costs to implement various leak detection and monitoring programs in order to resolve these alleged violations, the amount of which currently is not reasonably ascertainable.  It is also possible that the NMED may assess a penalty for the alleged violations associated with the operation of the flares at the Eunice, Monument and Saunders plants as part of an overall settlement.
 
Our environmental liability as of March 31,September 30, 2009 was $3.8 million, consisting of $0.2 million for gathering system leaks, $1.5$1.4 million for ground water assessment and remediation and $2.1$2.2 million for gas processing plant environmental violations.
 
Legal Proceedings

We are a party to various legal proceedings and/or regulatory proceedings and certain claims, suits and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business have been filed or are pending against us. We believe all such matters are without merit or involve amounts which, if resolved unfavorably, would not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash flows, except for the items more fully described below.
 
In May 2002, Apache Corporation (“Apache”) filed suit in Texas state court against Versado Gas Processors, LLC (“Versado”), as purchaser and processor of Apache’s gas, and Dynegy Midstream Services, Limited Partnership (now known as Targa Midstream Services Limited Partnership, a wholly owned subsidiary of ours), as operator of the Versado assets in New Mexico (“Versado Defendants”) alleging (i) excessive field losses of natural gas from wells owned by the plaintiff, (ii) that the Versado Defendants engaged in certain transactions with affiliates, resulting in the Versado Defendants not receiving fair market value when it sold gas and liquids, and (iii) that the formula for calculating the amount the Versado Defendants received from its buyers of gas and liquids is flawed since it is based on gas price indices that were allegedly manipulated. At trial, the jury found in favor of Apache on the lost gas claim, awarding approximately $1.6 million in damages. Apache’s claims with respect to the alleged “sham” transactions and index manipulation, among others, were severed by the trial court and abated for a future trial. The parties settled the severed lawsuit in May 2007.
 
In May 2004, the trial court granted the Versado Defendants’ motion to set aside the jury verdict on the lost gas claim and vacated the jury award to Apache. Apache filed its notice of appeal with the 14th Court of Appeals of Houston in October 2004. In 2006, the Court of Appeals reinstated the jury verdict in Apache’s favor on the issue of lost gas and also awarded Apache legal fees and interest, bringing the total award against the Versado Defendants to approximately $2.7 million. After rehearing, the Court of Appeals affirmed its decision reinstating the original jury verdict in Apache’s favor. With interest and attorneys’ fees that verdict standsstood at approximately $3.0$3.1 million.
 
In January 2007, the Versado Defendants filed their petition for review with the Supreme Court of Texas and in March 2007, Apache filed its conditional petition for review with the Supreme Court of Texas. On April 4, 2008, the Supreme Court of Texas granted review of the petitions. Onpetitions, and on September 9, 2008, the parties presented oral arguments, and the appeal is currently pending before

arguments. On August 28, 2009, the Supreme Court of Texas.Texas delivered its opinion in favor of the Versado Defendants on every issue and remanded the case to the trial court for entry of judgment consistent with the opinion.

On December 8, 2005, WTG Gas Processing (“WTG”) filed suit in the 333rd District Court of Harris County, Texas against several defendants, including Targa Resources, Inc. and three other Targa entities and private equity funds affiliated with Warburg Pincus LLC, seeking damages from the defendants. The suit alleges that Targa and private equity funds affiliated with Warburg Pincus LLC, along with ConocoPhillips Company (“ConocoPhillips”) and Morgan Stanley, tortiously interfered with (i) a contract WTG claims to have had to purchase the SAOU System from ConocoPhillips and (ii) prospective business relations of WTG. WTG claims the alleged interference resulted from Targa’s competition to purchase the ConocoPhillips’ assets and its successful acquisition of those assets in 2004. On October 2, 2007, the District Court granted defendants’ motions for summary judgment on all of WTG’s claims. WTG’s motion to reconsider and for a new trial was overruled. On January 2, 2008, WTG filed a notice of appeal. On February 3, 2009, the parties presented oral arguments and the appeal is pending before the 14th14th Court of Appeals in Houston, Texas.  We are contesting WTG’s appeal, but can give no assurances regarding the outcome of the proceeding. We have agreed to indemnify the Partnership for any claim or liability arising out of the WTG suit.

Note 15—18—Segment Information
 
We categorize the midstream natural gas industry into, and describe our business in, two divisions: (i) Natural Gas Gathering and Processing (also a segment) and (ii) NGL Logistics and Marketing. Our NGL Logistics and Marketing division consists of three segments: (a) Logistics Assets, (b) NGL Distribution and Marketing and (c) Wholesale Marketing.
 
OurThe Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment includes assets used in the gathering of natural gas produced from oil and gas wells and processing this raw natural gas into merchantable natural gas by extracting natural gas liquids and removing impurities. These assets are located in North Texas, Louisiana and the Permian Basin of West Texas and Southeast New Mexico. We are also party to natural gas processing agreements with third party plants.
 
OurThe Logistics Assets segment is involved with gathering and storing mixed NGLs and fractionating, storing, and transporting finished NGLs. These assets are generally connected to and supplied, in part, by our Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segment and are predominantly located in Mont Belvieu, Texas and Western Louisiana.
 
OurThe NGL Distribution and Marketing segment markets our own natural gas liquids production and purchased natural gas liquids products in selected United States markets.
 
OurThe Wholesale Marketing segment includes our refinery services business and wholesale propane marketing operations. In our refinery services business, we provide LPG (liquefiedliquefied petroleum gas)gas balancing services, purchase natural gas liquids products from refinery customers and sell natural gas liquids products to various customers.

Item2.                      Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following discussion analyzes our financial condition and results of operations. You should read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.Report.

Overview
 
We are a Delaware corporation formed in 2004 by our management team and Warburg Pincus LLC to acquire, own and operate assets in the midstream natural gas business.
 
Our gathering and processing assets are located primarily in the Permian Basin in West Texas and Southeast New Mexico, the Louisiana Gulf Coast primarily accessing the offshore region of Louisiana, and, through the Partnership, the Fort Worth Basin in North Texas, the Permian Basin in West Texas and the onshore region of the Louisiana Gulf Coast. Our NGL logistics and marketing assets, which are held by the Partnership, are located primarily at Mont Belvieu and Galena Park near Houston, Texas and in Lake Charles, Louisiana, with terminals and transportation assets across the United States.
 
We conduct our business operations through two divisions and report our results of operations under four segments: Ourour Natural Gas Gathering and Processing division, which includes the Partnership, is a single segment consisting of our natural gas gathering and processing facilities, as well as certain fractionation capability integrated within those facilities; and the Partnership’s NGL Logistics and Marketing division, which consists of three segments: Logistics Assets, NGL Distribution and Marketing and Wholesale Marketing.

Change in Basis of Presentation

As discussed in Note 3 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, certain 2008 financial information has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the requirements of ASC 810 so that the basis of presentation is consistent with that of the 2009 financial information.

Recent Developments

On May 19, 2009, all 11,528,231 of our subordinated units in the Partnership converted to common units on a one-for-one basis. The conversion had no impact upon our calculation of earnings per unit since the subordinated units were included in the basic and diluted earnings per unit calculation.

On July 6, 2009, the Partnership completed a private placement under Rule 144A and Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933 of $250 million in aggregate principal amount of 11¼% senior notes due 2017. The 11¼% Notes were issued at 94.973% of the face amount, resulting in gross proceeds of $237.4 million. Proceeds were used by the Partnership to repay borrowings under its credit facility.

On July 29, 2009, the Partnership executed a Commitment Increase Supplement to its existing senior secured credit facility. The Commitment Increase Supplement increased the commitments under its credit facility by $127.5 million, bringing the total commitments to $977.5 million. The Partnership may request additional commitments under its credit facility of up to $22.5 million.

On August 12, 2009, the Partnership completed a unit offering under its shelf registration statement of 6.9 million common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership at a price of $15.70 per common unit. Net proceeds of the offering were $105.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses, and including the general partner’s proportionate capital contribution of $2.2 million. The Partnership used a portion of the proceeds to repay $103.5 million of outstanding borrowings under its senior secured revolving credit facility.

On September 24, 2009, the Partnership purchased our interests in Targa Downstream GP LLC, Targa LSNG GP LLC, Targa Downstream LP and Targa LSNG LP (collectively the “Downstream Business”) for $530 million.

41


Consideration to us comprised $397.5 million in cash and the issuance to us of 174,033 general partner units in the Partnership and 8,527,615 common units in the Partnership.

On October 19, 2009, the general partner of the Partnership announced a cash distribution of $0.5175 per unit on the outstanding common units of the Partnership. The distribution will be paid on November 13, 2009 to unitholders of record on November 4, 2009, for the three months ended September 30, 2009. The total distribution to be paid is $35.2 million, with $21.5 million to be paid to the non-affiliated common unitholders and $10.4 million, $0.7 million and $2.6 million to be paid to us for our common unit ownership, general partner interest and incentive distribution rights.

Equity earnings decreased $1.1 million for 2009 compared to 2008. The decrease was due primarily to our consolidation of VESCO, following our acquisition of a controlling ownership interest effective August 1, 2008.
Loss on debt repurchases of $1.5 million resulted from the Partnership’s retirement of a portion of its outstanding 11¼% Notes during 2009.
The $14.8 million loss on early debt extinguishment consisted of the write-off of debt issue costs related to prepayments on our senior secured term loan facility. In addition, the loss includes a $6.3 million out of period adjustment related to prepayments made during 2007. See Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Interest expense increased by $4.8 million, or 20%, for 2009 compared to 2008. This was primarily attributable to the issuance of the Partnership’s 11¼ % Senior Unsecured Notes in July, 2009.
During interim periods income tax expense is based on an estimated annual effective income tax rate plus any significant unusual or infrequently occurring items recorded in the period that the specific item occurs. As our annual estimate of pre-tax income changes, our effective tax rate may increase or decrease. The variance in our estimated annual effective tax rate from the 35% federal statutory rate primarily results from the inclusion in our pre-tax income of income from pass-through entities, the tax effects of estimated annual permanent differences and state income taxes.
For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, our effective income tax rates have been distorted by changes in our estimated annual effective rate. As of September 30, 2009 and 2008, our estimated annual effective income tax rates were approximately 14% and 20%, as compared to approximately 22% and 25% as of June 30, 2009 and 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our ability to finance our operations, including funding capital expenditures and acquisitions, to meet our indebtedness obligations, to refinance our indebtedness or to meet our collateral requirements depends on ourthe ability to generate cash in the future. OurThe ability to generate cash is subject to a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including weather, commodity prices, particularly for natural gas and NGLs, and our ongoing efforts to manage operating costs and maintenance capital expenditures as well as general economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report on Form, 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.Report.

Our main sources of liquidity and capital resources are internally generated cash flow from operations, borrowings under our senior secured credit facility and access to debt capital markets. TheWhile the credit markets are undergoing significant volatility. Many financial institutions have liquidity concerns, prompting government interventionimproved somewhat, we remain exposed to mitigate pressure on the credit markets. Our exposure to the current credit crisis includesavailability under our revolving credit facility cash investments and counterparty performance risks. ContinuedIn addition, the recent volatility in the debt markets may increasehave increased costs associated with issuing debt instruments due to increased spreads over relevant interest rate benchmarks and affect our ability to access those markets.benchmarks.
 
Current market conditions also elevate the concern over counterparty risks related to our commodity derivative contracts and trade credit. We have substantially all of our commodity derivatives with major financial institutions. Should any of these financial counterparties not perform, we may not realize the benefit of some of our hedges under lower commodity prices, which could have a materially adverse effect on our results of operations. We sell a significant portion of our natural gas, NGLs and condensate to a variety of purchasers. Non-performance by a trade creditor could result in losses.
 
Crude oil and natural gas prices are also volatile and in the case of natural gas have declined significantly during the quarter, continuing downward since the end of the quarter.year.  In a continuing effort to reduce the volatility of our cash flows, we have periodically entered into commodity derivative contracts for a portion of our estimated equity volumes through 2013 (see Note 1113 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report). The currentCurrent market conditions may also impact our ability to enter into future commodity derivative contracts. In the event of a continuing global recession, commodity prices may stay depressed or reduce further thereby causing a prolonged downturn, which could reduce our operating margins and cash flow from operations.
 
At this point, we do not believe our liquidity has been materially affected by the current credit crisis and we do not expect our liquidity to be materially impacted in the near future. We will continue to monitor our liquidity and the credit markets. Additionally, we will continue to monitor events and circumstances surrounding each of the lenders under our senior secured revolving credit facility and the lenders under the Partnership’s senior secured credit facility. To date, other than a default by an affiliate of Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank (“Lehman Bank”) on a borrowing request in October 2008, neither we nor the Partnership have experienced any material disruptions in our ability to access our respective bank credit facilities. However, we cannot predict with any certainty the impact to us of any further disruption in the credit environment. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.Report.
 
Historically, our cash generated fromby our operations has been sufficient to finance our operating expenditures and non-acquisition related capital expenditures. Based on our anticipated levels of operations and absent any disruptive events, we believe that internally generated cash flow, and borrowings available under our senior secured revolving credit facilities and access to capital markets should provide sufficient resources to finance our operations, non-acquisition related capital expenditures, hurricane-related repair expenditures, long-term indebtedness obligations and collateral requirements for at least the next year.
 
A significant portion of our capital resources are utilized in the form of cash and letters of credit to satisfy counterparty collateral demands. These counterparty collateral demands reflect our non-investment grade status and counterparties’ views of our financial condition and ability to satisfy our performance obligations, as well as commodity prices and other factors. As of March 31,September 30, 2009, our total outstanding letter of credit postings were $89.5$38.1 million.
The Partnership may issue equity or debt securities to assist the Partnership in meeting its liquidity and capital spending requirements. The Partnership has a universal shelf registration statement on file with the SEC that allows it to periodically issue up to $500 million in equity or debt securities. Proceeds from offerings under this universal shelf registration statement are currently expected to be used by the Partnership for general partnership purposes or

3952


other purposes to be specified in connection with an offering. After taking into account the issuances of common units under this shelf registration in August 2009, the Partnership can issue approximately $391.7 million of additional equity or debt securities under this registration statement.
 
Our derivative contracts do not have margin requirements or collateral provisions that could require posting of margin prior to the scheduled cash settlement date. See “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.and see Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors in this Quarterly Report.
 
Contractual Obligations.  As of September 30, 2009, Except for changes in the ordinary course of our business, our contractual obligations have not changed materially from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.Report.
 
Available Credit. Credit. As of March 31,September 30, 2009, we had approximately $369$252.0 million in total availability under our credit facility, including $143.9$240.0 million under our senior secured revolving credit facility (after giving effect to the Lehman Bank default) and $225.5$12.0 million under our senior secured synthetic letter of credit facility. In addition, the Partnership had approximately $337$390.0 million in availability under its senior secured credit facility (also after giving effect to the Lehman Bank default). We consolidate the debt of the Partnership in our financial statements; however, we do not have any obligations with respect to the debt of the Partnership.

Capital Requirements. The midstream energy business can be capital intensive, requiring significant investment to maintain and upgrade existing operations. A significant portion of the cost of constructing new gathering lines to connect to our gathering system is generally paid for by the natural gas producer. However, we expect to continue to

53


incur significant expenditures throughout 2009 related to the expansion of our natural gas gathering and processing infrastructure.
 
We estimate that our total capital expenditures for 2009 will be approximately $150$90.0 million. Given our objective of growth through acquisitions, expansions of existing assets and other internal growth projects, we anticipate that we will invest significant amounts of capital to grow and acquire assets. Expansion capital expenditures may vary significantly based on investment opportunities.
 
We expect to fund future capital expenditures with funds generated from our operations, borrowings under our senior secured credit facility and debt offerings.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The policies and estimates discussed below are considered by management to be critical to an understanding of our financial statements because their application requires the most significant judgments from management in estimating matters for financial reporting that are inherently uncertain. Please see the description of our accounting policies in the notes to the financial statements for additional information about our critical accounting policies and estimates.
Property, Plant and Equipment. In general, depreciation is the systematic and rational allocation of an asset’s cost, less its residual value (if any), to the period it benefits. Property, plant and equipment is depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Our estimate of depreciation incorporates assumptions regarding the useful economic lives and residual values of our assets. At the time we place our assets in-service, we believe such assumptions are reasonable; however, circumstances may develop that would cause us to change these assumptions, which would change our depreciation amounts prospectively. Examples of such circumstances include:

·changes in energy prices;
·changes in competition;
·changes in laws and regulations that limit the estimated economic life of an asset;
·changes in technology that render an asset obsolete;
·changes in expected salvage values; or
·changes in the forecast life of applicable resource basins, if any.
At September 30, 2009, the net book value of our property, plant and equipment was $2.6 billion and we recorded $44.3 million and $127.9 million of depreciation and amortization expense for three and nine months ended September 30, 2009. The weighted average life of our long-lived assets is approximately 20 years.  If the useful lives of these assets were found to be shorter than originally estimated, depreciation and amortization expense may increase, liabilities for future asset retirement obligations may be insufficient and impairments in carrying values of tangible and intangible assets may result. For example, if the depreciable lives of our assets were reduced by 10%, we estimate that depreciation expense would increase by $14.2 million, which would result in a corresponding

56


reduction in our operating income.  In addition, if an assessment of impairment resulted in a reduction of 1% of our long-lived assets, our operating income would decrease by $25.6 million. There have been no material changes impacting estimated useful lives of the assets.
Revenue Recognition. Revenues for a period reflect collections to the report date plus any uncollected revenues reported for the period which are reflected as accounts receivable in the balance sheet. As of September 30, 2009, our balance sheet reflects total accounts receivable of approximately $303.3 million. Our allowance for doubtful accounts as of September 30, 2009 was $9.1 million.
Our exposure to uncollectible accounts receivable relates to the financial health of our counterparties.  We have an active credit management process which is focused on controlling loss exposure to bankruptcies or other liquidity issues of counterparties.  If an assessment of uncollectibility resulted in a 1% reduction of our accounts receivable, our operating income would decrease by $3.0 million. There have been no material changes impacting accounts receivable.
Price Risk Management (Hedging). Our net income and cash flows are subject to volatility stemming from changes in commodity prices and interest rates. To reduce the volatility of our cash flows, we have entered into (i) derivative financial instruments related to a portion of our equity volumes to manage the purchase and sales prices of commodities and (ii) interest rate financial instruments to fix the interest rate on our variable debt. We are exposed to the credit risk of our counterparties in these derivative financial instruments.
Our cash flow is affected by the derivative financial instruments we enter into to the extent these instruments are settled by (i) making or receiving a payment to/from the counterparty or (ii) making or receiving a payment for entering into a contract that exactly offsets the original derivative financial instrument. Typically a derivative financial instrument is settled when the physical transaction that underlies the derivative financial instrument occurs.
One of the primary factors that can affect our financial position each period is the price assumptions we use to value our derivative financial instruments, which are reflected at their fair values in the balance sheet. The relationship between the derivative financial instruments and the hedged item must be highly effective in achieving the offset of changes in cash flows attributable to the hedged risk both at the inception of the derivative financial instrument and on an ongoing basis. Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when a derivative financial instrument becomes ineffective. Gains and losses deferred in other comprehensive income related to cash flow hedges for which hedge accounting has been discontinued remain deferred until the forecasted transaction occurs. If it is probable that a hedged forecasted transaction will not occur, deferred gains or losses on the derivative financial instrument are reclassified to earnings immediately.

The estimated fair value of our derivative financial instruments was $43.8 million as of September 30, 2009, net of an adjustment for credit risk. The credit risk adjustment is based on the default probabilities by year for each counterparty’s traded credit default swap transactions. These default probabilities have been applied to the unadjusted fair values of the derivative financial instruments to arrive at the credit risk adjustment, which aggregates to $0.5 million at September 30, 2009. We have an active credit management process which is focused on controlling loss exposure to bankruptcies or other liquidity issues of counterparties.  If a financial instrument counterparty were to declare bankruptcy, we would be exposed to the loss of fair value of the financial instrument transaction with that counterparty.  Ignoring our adjustment for credit risk, if a bankruptcy by a financial instrument counterparty impacted 10% of the fair value of commodity-based financial instruments, we estimate that our operating income would decrease by $4.4 million.

Item 3.             Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
 
For an in-depth discussion of market risks, see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.Report.
 
Our principal market risks are our exposure to changes in commodity prices, particularly to the prices of natural gas and NGLs (including the impact of reduced commodity prices on oil and gas drilling levels), changes in interest rates, as well as nonperformance by our customers, joint venture partners and derivative counterparties. We do not use risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.

Commodity Price Risk. A significant portion of our revenues is derived from percent-of-proceeds contracts under which we receive either an agreed upon percentagea portion of the actual proceeds that we receive from our sales of the residue natural gas and NGLs or an agreed upon percentage based on index-related prices for the natural gas and NGLs.and/or NGLs, or equity volumes, as payment for services. The prices of natural gas and NGLs are subject to fluctuations in response to changes in supply, demand, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond our control. We monitor these risks and enter into hedgingcommodity derivative transactions designed to mitigate the impact of commodity price fluctuations on our business. Cash flows from a derivative instrument designated as a hedgehedges are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the item being hedged. For an in-depth discussion of our hedging strategies, see Item “7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk—Commodity Price Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.Report.
 
Our payment obligations in connection with substantially all of these hedging transactions, and any additional credit exposure due to a rise in natural gas and NGL prices relative to the fixed prices set forth in the hedges, are secured by a first priority lien in the collateral securing our senior secured indebtedness that ranks equal in right of payment with liens granted in favor of our senior secured lenders. As long as this first priority lien is in effect, we expect to have no obligation to post cash, letters of credit or other additional collateral to secure these hedges at any time even if our counterparty’s exposure to our credit increases over the term of the hedge as a result of higher commodity prices or because there has been a change in our creditworthiness. A purchased put (or floor) transaction does not create credit exposure to us for our counterparties.

We have entered into hedging arrangements for a portion of our forecasted equity volumes. Floor volumes and floor pricing are based solely on purchased puts (or floors). As of March 31,September 30, 2009, we had the following hedge arrangements which will settle during the years ending December 31, 2009 through 2013 (except as indicated otherwise, the 2009 volumes reflect daily volumes for the period from AprilOctober 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009):

These contracts may expose us to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances. Our hedging arrangements provide us protection on the hedged volumes if prices decline below the prices at which these hedges are set. If prices rise above the prices at which we have hedged, we will receive less revenue on the hedged volumes than we would receive in the absence of hedges.

Interest Rate Risk. We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of variable rate debt under our senior secured credit facilities. To the extent that interest rates increase, interest expense on our revolving debt will also increase. As of March 31, 2009, we had approximately $1.6 billion of consolidated indebtedness, of which $1.1 billion was at variable interest rates.

On September 24, 2009, we paid down our variable rate debt to $65.3 million. Accordingly all but $65.3 million of our interest rate hedges became ineffective and were dedesignated as they no longer quality for hedge accounting. On these dedesignated hedges, we recorded a mark-to-market gain of $0.2 million for the period from September 24, 2009 to September 30, 2009. The fair value of the dedesignated interest rate swaps at September 30, 2009 was a liability of $1.9 million. The remaining $65.3 million notional amount effectively fixes the base rate on $65.3 million of borrowings for the indicated periods. In order to mitigate the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in market interest rates we entered into interest rate hedges that effectively fix the base rate on the indicated notional amount of borrowings as shown below:

 Period Fixed Rate  Notional Amount Fair Value 
      (In thousands) 
4/1/2009-3/31/2010 1.65% $400 million $(3,742)
4/1/2010-3/31/2011 1.65%   350 million  (829)

In orderOctober 2009, we made payments of $3.2 million to mitigate the riskterminate all of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in marketour interest ratesrate hedges.

As of September 30, 2009, the Partnership had variable rate borrowings of $510.5 million outstanding under its senior secured revolving credit facility. In an effort to reduce the variability of its flows, the Partnership has entered into various interest rate swap and interest rate basis swap agreements. Under these agreements, which are accounted for as cash flow hedges, the base interest rate on the specified notional amount of the Partnership’s variable rate debt is effectively fixed for the term of each agreement and ineffectiveness is required to be measured each reporting period.  The fair values of the interest rate swap agreements, which are adjusted regularly, have been aggregated by counterparty for classification in our consolidated balance sheets. Accordingly, unrealized gains and losses relating to the interest rate swaps are recorded in OCI until the interest expense on the related debt is recognized in earnings. The effect of the Partnership’s interest rate hedges that effectively fixfixes the base rate on the$300 million in variable rate borrowings as shown below:

Period Fixed Rate Notional Amount Fair Value  Fixed Rate  Notional Amount Fair Value

     $(19,851)          $(14,106)


We have designated all interest rate derivative instruments as cash flow hedges. Accordingly, related unrealized gains and losses are recorded in OCI until interest expense on the related debt is recognized in earnings. A hypothetical increase of 100 basis points in the underlying interest rate, after taking into account these interest rate swaps and interest rate basis swaps, would increase our annual interest expense by $4.0$2.1 million.

Credit Risk. We are subject to risk of losses resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers, joint venture partners and derivative counterparties.

We monitor the creditworthiness of customers to whom we grant credit and establish credit limits in accordance with our credit policy. A substantial portion of our revenues are derived from companies in the domestic natural gas, NGL and petrochemical industries. This concentration could impact our overall exposure to credit risk since these customers may be impacted by similar economic or other conditions. To help reduce our credit risk, we evaluate our counterparties’ financial condition and, where appropriate, negotiate netting agreements. We generally do not require collateral for our accounts receivable; however, in certain circumstances we will call for prepayment, require automatic debit agreements or obtain collateral to minimize our potential exposure to defaults.


46


Our credit exposure related to commodity derivative instruments is represented by the fair value of contracts with a net positive fair value to us at the reporting date. At such times, these outstanding instruments expose us to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the agreements. Should the creditworthiness of one or more of our counterparties decline, our ability to mitigate nonperformance risk is limited to a counterparty agreeing to either a voluntary termination and subsequent cash settlement or a novation of the derivative contract to a third party. In the event of a counterparty default, we may sustain a loss and our cash receipts could be negatively impacted.

As of March 31,September 30, 2009, affiliates of Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Barclays Bank and BofA accounted for 56%70%, 24%15% and 20%13% of our counterparty credit exposure related to commodity derivative instruments. Goldman Sachs, Merrill LynchBofA and Barclays Bank are major financial institutions, each possessing investment grade credit ratings based upon minimum credit ratings assigned by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a divisionServices.

Risk Factors

For an in-depth discussion of our risk factors, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.Report. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing us and there may be additional matters that we are unaware of or that we currently consider immaterial. All of these risks and uncertainties could adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or results of operations, as could the following:

A recent determination that emissions of carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse gases” present an endangerment to public health could result in regulatory initiatives that increase our costs of doing business and the costs of our services.

On April 17, 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) issued a notice of its proposed finding and determination that emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and other “greenhouse gases” (“GHGs”) presented an endangerment to human health and the environment because emissions of such gases contribute to warming of the earth’s atmosphere.  Theatmosphere and other climatic changes.  Once finalized, EPA’s finding and determination allowswould allow the EPAagency to begin regulating GHG emissions under existing provisions of the Clean Air Act.  In late September 2009, EPA announced two sets of proposed regulations in anticipation of finalizing its findings and determination, one rule to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases from motor vehicles and the other to control emissions of greenhouse gases from stationary sources.  Although the EPAmotor vehicle rules are expected to be adopted in March 2010, it may take EPA several years to adopt and impose regulations limiting GHG emissions anyof greenhouse gases from stationary sources.  In addition, on September 22, 2009, the EPA issued a final rule requiring the reporting of greenhouse gas emissions from specified large greenhouse gas emission sources in the U.S., including natural gas liquids fractionators, beginning in 2011 for emissions occurring in 2010.  Any limitation imposed by the EPA on GHG emissions from our natural gas–fired compressor stations, and processing facilities and fractionators or from the combustion of natural gas or natural gas liquids that we produce could increase our costs of doing business and/or increase the cost and reduce demand for our services.  In addition,

The adoption of climate change legislation or regulations restricting emissions of “greenhouse gases” could result in increased operating costs and reduced demand for the products and services we provide.

On June 26, 2009, the U.S. CongressHouse of Representatives approved adoption of the “American Clean Energy and various states are currently considering legislationSecurity Act of 2009,” also known as the “Waxman-Markey cap-and-trade legislation” or “ACESA”, which would establish an economy-wide cap-and-trade program in the United States to reduce emissions of “greenhouse gases,” or “GHGs,” including carbon dioxide and methane that may impose national or regional caps onbe contributing to warming of the Earth’s atmosphere and other climatic changes. ACESA would require an overall reduction in GHG emissions of 17% (from 2005 levels) by 2020, and may require majorby over 80% by 2050. Under ACESA, covered sources of GHG emissions would be required to purchaseobtain GHG emission “allowances” corresponding to their annual emissions of GHGs. The number of emission allowances issued each year would decline as necessary to meet ACESA’s overall emission reduction goals. As the number of GHG emission allowances declines each year, the cost or value of allowances is expected to escalate significantly. The net effect of ACESA will be to impose increasing costs on the combustion of carbon-based fuels such as oil, refined petroleum products, natural gas and NGLs.

The U.S. Senate has begun work on its own legislation for controlling and reducing emissions of GHGs in the United States.  If the Senate adopts GHG legislation that is different from ACESA, the Senate legislation would permit such sourcesneed to continuebe reconciled with ACESA and both chambers would be required to emit GHGs.  Suchapprove identical legislation before it could become law.  President Obama has indicated that he is in support of the adoption of legislation to control and reduce emissions of GHGs through an emission allowance permitting system that results in fewer allowances being issued each year but that allows parties to buy, sell and trade allowances as needed to fulfill their GHG emission

obligations.  Although it is not possible at this time to predict whether or when the Senate may act on climate change legislation or how any bill approved by the Senate would be reconciled with ACESA, any laws or regulations that may be adopted to restrict or reduce emissions of GHGs would likely require us to obtain allowancesincur increased operating costs, and could have an adverse effect on demand for our gathering, treating, processing and fractionating services.

Even if such legislation is not adopted at the national level, more than one-third of the states have begun taking actions to offsetcontrol and/or reduce emissions of GHGs, that result fromwith most of the combustionstate-level initiatives focused on large sources of natural gas or natural gas liquids we produce.  As an alternative to a “cap and trade” program, itGHG emissions, such as coal-fired electric plants. It is possible that Congresssmaller sources of emissions could become subject to GHG emission limitations or individual statesallowance purchase requirements in the future. Any one of these climate change regulatory and legislative initiatives could implement carbon tax programs.  Any such regulatory initiatives adopted by EPA orhave a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The adoption of derivatives legislation adopted by Congress could have an adverse impact on our ability to hedge risks associated with our business.

Congress is currently considering legislation to impose restrictions on certain transactions involving derivatives, which could affect the use of derivatives in hedging transactions. ACESA contains provisions that would prohibit private energy commodity derivative and hedging transactions.  ACESA would expand the power of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, or CFTC, to regulate derivative transactions related to energy commodities, including oil and natural gas, and to mandate clearance of such derivative contracts through registered derivative clearing organizations.  Under ACESA, the statesCFTC’s expanded authority over energy derivatives would terminate upon the adoption of general legislation covering derivative regulatory reform. The Chairman of the CFTC has announced that the CFTC intends to conduct hearings to determine whether to set limits on trading and positions in commodities with finite supply, particularly energy commodities, such as crude oil, natural gas and other energy products.  The CFTC also is evaluating whether position limits should be applied consistently across all markets and participants.  In addition, the Treasury Department recently has indicated that it intends to propose legislation to subject all OTC derivative dealers and all other major OTC derivative market participants to substantial supervision and regulation, including by imposing conservative capital and margin requirements and strong business conduct standards.  Derivative contracts that are not cleared through central clearinghouses and exchanges may be subject to substantially higher capital and margin requirements.  Although it is not possible at this time to predict whether or when Congress may act on derivatives legislation or how any climate change bill approved by the Senate would be reconciled with ACESA, any laws or regulations that may be adopted that subject us to additional capital or margin requirements relating to, or to additional restrictions on, our use of derivatives could increasehave an adverse effect on our costs of doingability to hedge risks associated with our business and/or increaseon the cost and reduce demand forof our services.
