CAUTIONARY STATEMENT ABOUT FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Targa Resources Corp.’s (together with its subsidiaries, other than Targa Resources Partners LP, collectively “we,” “us,” “Targa,” “TRC,” or the “Company”) 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.” You can typically identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, 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. Known risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risks set forth in “Part II-Other Information, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Quarterly Report”) as well as the following risks and uncertainties:

·	Targa Resources Partners LP’s (the “Partnership”) and 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 the Partnership’s transactions;

·	the Partnership’s success in risk management activities, including the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge commodity and interest rate risks;

·	the level of creditworthiness of counterparties to transactions;

·	changes in laws and regulations, particularly with regard to taxes, safety and protection of the environment;

·	the timing and extent of changes in natural gas, natural gas liquids (“NGL”) and other commodity prices, interest rates and demand for the Partnership’s services;

·	weather and other natural phenomena;

·	industry changes, including the impact of consolidations and changes in competition;

·	the Partnership’s ability to obtain necessary licenses, permits and other approvals;

·	the level and success of oil and natural gas drilling around the Partnership’s assets and its success in connecting natural gas supplies to its gathering and processing systems and NGL supplies to its logistics and marketing facilities;

·	the Partnership’s and 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 elsewhere in “Part II–Other Information, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Quarterly Report, our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (“Annual Report”) and, our reports and registration statements filed from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 in “Part II–Other Information, Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and in our Annual 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.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 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 millions of dollars.

Note 1 — Organization

Targa Resources Corp. (“TRC”) is a Delaware corporation formed in October 2005. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “TRGP.” In this Quarterly Report, unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company” or “Targa” are intended to mean our consolidated business and operations, including our wholly-owned subsidiary TRI Resources Inc. (“TRI”).

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation

We have prepared these unaudited consolidated financial statements 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. While we derived the year-end balance sheet data from audited financial statements, this interim report does not include all disclosures required by GAAP for annual periods. Certain amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. In the Statement of Cash Flows presented in this Quarterly Report, we have reclassified $22.8 million of redemption payments of interest associated with our Holdco loan facility for the six months ended June 30, 2010 from operating activities to financing activities to conform to our presentation of such redemption payments which we previously adopted in connection with the preparation of our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010. We believe such presentation better reflects the characteristics of such payments as those were at amounts below the original principal of the redeemed notes. During the preparation of this Quarterly Report, we noted that we had inadvertently omitted such reclassification in our Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 in our Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2011. However, we have concluded that the resulting misclassification of redemption payments of $22.8 million as operating rather than as financing cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 was not material. See Note 11. The unaudited consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 include all adjustments which we believe are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for interim periods. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Our financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2011. These unaudited consolidated financial statements and other information included in this Quarterly Report should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2010.

Targa Resources GP LLC (the “General Partner”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ours, is the general partner of Targa Resources Partners LP (the “Partnership”). Because we control the General Partner of the Partnership, under GAAP, we must reflect our ownership interest in the Partnership on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, our financial results are combined with the Partnership’s financial results in our consolidated financial statements, even though the distribution or transfer of Partnership assets are limited by the terms of the partnership agreement, as well as restrictive covenants in the Partnership’s lending agreements. The limited partner interests in the Partnership not owned by our controlled affiliates are reflected in our results of operations as net income attributable to non-controlling interests and in our balance sheet equity section as noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries. Throughout these footnotes, we make a distinction where relevant between financial results of the Partnership versus those of a standalone parent and its non-partnership subsidiaries.

As of June 30, 2011, our interests in the Partnership consist of the following:

·	a 2% general partner interest, which we hold through our 100% ownership interest in the general partner of the Partnership;

·	all Incentive Distribution Rights (“IDRs”); and

·	11,645,659 common units of the Partnership, representing a 13.7% limited partnership interest.

The Partnership is engaged in the business of gathering, compressing, treating, processing and selling natural gas; storing, fractionating, treating, transporting and selling NGLs and NGL products; and storing and terminaling refined petroleum products and crude oil. See Note 14 for an analysis of our and the Partnership’s operations by segment.

Note 3 — Significant Accounting Policies

Accounting Policy Updates/Revisions

The accounting policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 4 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendment, which becomes effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, requires additional disclosures with regard to fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Early adoption is not permitted.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The amendment, which becomes effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, stipulates the financial statement presentation requirements for other comprehensive income. Our financial statement presentation complies with this standards update.

6⅞% Senior Notes of the Partnership

On February 2, 2011, the Partnership closed a private placement of $325.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6⅞% Senior Notes due 2021 (“the 6⅞% Notes”). The net proceeds of this offering were $318.8 million after deducting expenses of the offering. The Partnership used the net proceeds from the offering to reduce borrowings under its senior secured credit facility and for general partnership purposes.

On February 4, 2011, the Partnership exchanged an additional $158.6 million principal amount of its 6⅞% Notes plus payments of $28.6 million including $0.9 million of accrued interest for $158.6 million aggregate principal amount of its 11¼% Senior Notes due 2017 (the “11¼% Notes”). The holders of the exchanged Notes are subject to the provisions of the 6⅞% Notes described below. The debt covenants related to the remaining $72.7 million of face value of the 11¼% Notes were removed. This exchange was accounted for as a debt modification whereby the financial effects of the exchange will be recognized over the term of the new debt issue.

The 6⅞% Notes are unsecured senior obligations that rank pari passu in right of payment with existing and future senior indebtedness, including indebtedness under the Partnership’s credit facility. They are senior in right of payment to any of the Partnership’s future subordinated indebtedness and are unconditionally guaranteed by certain of the Partnership’s subsidiaries. These notes are effectively subordinated to all secured indebtedness under the Partnership’s credit agreement, which is secured by substantially all of the Partnership’s assets, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that indebtedness.

Interest on the 6⅞% Notes accrues at the rate of 6⅞% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1, commencing on August 1, 2011.

The Partnership may redeem 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 6⅞% Notes at any time prior to February 1, 2014, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings. The Partnership must pay a redemption price of 106.875% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, to the redemption date provided that:

1)	at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 6⅞% Notes (excluding 6⅞% 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.

The Partnership may also redeem all or part of the 6⅞% Notes on or after August 1, 2016 at the redemption prices set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and liquidated damages, if any, on the notes redeemed, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 1 of each year indicated below:

Year		Percentage
2016		103.44%
2017		102.29%
2018		101.15%
2019 and thereafter		100.00%

Note 6 — Partnership Units and Related Matters

On January 24, 2011, the Partnership completed a public offering of 8,000,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“common units”) under an existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 at a price of $33.67 per common unit ($32.41 per common unit, net of underwriting discounts), providing net proceeds of $259.2 million. Pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, on February 3, 2011, the Partnership issued an additional 1,200,000 common units, providing net proceeds of $38.8 million. In addition, we contributed $6.3 million to the Partnership for 187,755 general partner units to maintain our 2% interest in the Partnership.

Note 9 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Commodity Hedges

The primary purpose of the Partnership’s commodity risk management activities is to hedge the exposure to commodity price risk and reduce fluctuations in the Partnership’s operating cash flow despite fluctuations in commodity prices. In an effort to reduce the variability of cash flows, the Partnership has hedged the commodity price associated with a portion of its expected natural gas and NGL equity volumes through 2013 and condensate equity volumes through 2014 by entering into derivative financial instruments including swaps and purchased puts (floors).

The hedges generally match the NGL product composition and the NGL and natural gas delivery points to those of the Partnership’s physical equity volumes. The NGL hedges cover baskets of ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane and natural gasoline based upon the Partnership’s expected equity NGL composition, as well as specific NGL hedges of ethane and propane. 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, the NGL hedges are based on published index prices for delivery at Mont Belvieu and the natural gas hedges are based on published index prices for delivery at Permian Basin, Mid-Continent and WAHA, which closely approximate the Partnership’s actual NGL and natural gas delivery points.

The Partnership hedges a portion of its condensate sales using crude oil hedges that are based on the NYMEX futures contracts for West Texas Intermediate light, sweet crude, which approximates the prices received for condensate. This necessarily exposes the Partnership to a market differential risk if the NYMEX futures do not move in exact parity with the sales price of its underlying West Texas condensate equity volumes.

Hedge ineffectiveness has been immaterial for all periods.

At June 30, 2011, the notional volumes of the Partnership’s commodity hedges were:

Commodity	Instrument	Unit	2011	2012	2013	2014
Natural Gas	Swaps	MMBtu/d	38,470	31,790	17,089	-
NGL	Swaps	Bbl/d	10,118	9,361	4,150	-
NGL	Floors	Bbl/d	253	294	-	-
Condensate	Swaps	Bbl/d	1,730	1,660	1,795	700

Table of Contents

Interest Rate Swaps

As of June 30, 2011, the Partnership had $198.0 million outstanding under its credit facility, with interest accruing at a base rate plus an applicable margin. In order to mitigate the risk of changes in cash flows attributable to changes in market interest rates, the Partnership has entered into interest rate swaps and interest rate basis swaps as shown below:

Period	Fixed Rate		Notional Amount		Fair Value
Remainder of 2011		3.52%	$	300	$	(5.0	)
2012		3.40%		300		(7.1	)
2013		3.39%		300		(6.3	)
1/1/2014 - 4/24/2014		3.39%		300		(1.9	)
					$	(20.3	)

Derivative Instruments Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Partnership’s fixed interest rate swaps, which total $300.0 million in notional principal, and interest rate basis swaps, which total $200.0 million in notional principal, had been designated as cash flow hedges of variable rate interest payments on borrowings under the Partnership’s credit facility until February 11, 2011, when the Partnership de-designated $125.0 million notional principal of fixed interest rate swaps and $25.0 million notional principal of interest rate basis swaps. The Partnership de-designated the swaps as its borrowings under its credit facility reduced below $300.0 million, which is the total notional amount of the Partnership’s fixed interest rate swaps. The de-designated swaps receive mark-to-market treatment, with changes in fair value, cash and accrued settlements recorded to other income (expense).

The Partnership frequently enters into derivative instruments to manage location basis differentials. Based on the current application of the basis derivatives, the Partnership does not account for these derivatives as hedges and records changes in fair value and cash settlements to revenues.

The following schedules reflect the fair values of the Partnership’s derivative instruments in our financial statements:

	Derivative Assets					Derivative Liabilities
	Balance	Fair Value as of				Balance	Fair Value as of
	Sheet	June 30,		December 31,		Sheet	June 30,		December 31,

Total derivatives		$	35.7	$	44.1		$	101.4	$	67.0

The fair value of the Partnership’s derivative instruments, depending on the type of instrument, was determined by the use of present value methods or standard option valuation models with assumptions about commodity prices based on those observed in underlying markets.

	$	(11.9	)	$	2.1		$	(18.3	)	$	(4.3	)

Our earnings are also affected by the use of the mark-to-market method of accounting for the Partnership’s derivative financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting or that have not been designated as hedges. The changes in fair value of these instruments are recorded on the balance sheet and through earnings (i.e., using the “mark-to-market” method) rather than being deferred until the anticipated transaction settles. The use of mark-to-market accounting for financial instruments can cause non-cash earnings volatility due to changes in the underlying price indices. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, the Partnership recorded losses of $3.2 million related to de-designated interest rate swaps. For the three and six months ending June 30, 2010, gain or loss from mark-to-market derivative instruments was immaterial.

The following table shows the unrealized gains (losses) included in OCI:

	June 30,			December 31,
	2011			2010
Unrealized gain (loss) on commodity hedges, before tax	$	(4.4	)	$	4.5
Unrealized gain (loss) on commodity hedges, net of tax		(2.6	)		2.7
Unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate swaps, before tax		(2.7	)		(3.4	)
Unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate swaps, net of tax		(1.6	)		(2.1	)

As of June 30, 2011, deferred net losses of $27.8 million on commodity hedges and $8.1 million on interest rate swaps recorded in OCI are expected to be reclassified to revenue and interest expense during the next twelve months.

In July 2008, Targa and the Partnership paid $9.6 million and $77.8 million to terminate certain out-of-the-money natural gas and NGL commodity swaps. Targa and the Partnership also entered into new natural gas and NGL commodity swaps at then current market prices that match the production volumes of the terminated swaps. Prior to the terminations, these swaps were designated as hedges. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2011, $0.1 million and $0.2 million of deferred losses related to the terminated swaps were reclassified from OCI as a non-cash reduction to revenue. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, $7.6 million and $15.1 million of deferred losses related to the terminated swaps were reclassified from OCI as a non-cash reduction to revenue.

See Note 3 and Note 10 for additional disclosures related to derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Note 10 — Fair Value Measurements

We categorize the inputs to the fair value of financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the significant inputs used in measuring fair value:

•	Level 1 – observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

•	Level 2 – inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

•	Level 3 – unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The Partnership’s derivative instruments consist of financially settled commodity and interest rate swap and option contracts and fixed price commodity contracts with certain counterparties. The Partnership determines the value of its derivative contracts utilizing a discounted cash flow model for swaps and a standard option pricing model for options, based on inputs that are readily available in public markets. The Partnership has consistently applied these valuation techniques in all periods presented and we believe the Partnership has obtained the most accurate information available for the types of derivative contracts the Partnership holds.

Contracts classified as Level 3 are valued using price inputs available from public markets to the extent that the markets are liquid for the relevant settlement periods.

The following tables present the fair value of the Partnership’s financial assets and liabilities according to the fair value hierarchy. 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. The Partnership’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of the fair value of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

Assets from commodity derivative contracts	$	35.7	$	-	$	35.7	$	-

Liabilities from interest rate derivatives		20.1		-		20.1		-
Total liabilities	$	67.0	$	-	$	55.2	$	11.8

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the changes in the fair value of the Partnership’s financial instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:

	Commodity Derivative Contracts
Balance, December 31, 2010	$	(11.6	)
Unrealized losses included in OCI		(0.4	)
Settlements included in Net Income		3.7
Transfers out of Level 3		7.4
Balance, June 30, 2011	$	(0.9	)

The Partnership transferred $7.4 million in derivative liabilities from Level 3 to Level 2 in the second quarter. The transfer is attributable to increased transparency and liquidity in the NGL markets, specifically with regard to 2013 prices.

The Partnership designated all Level 3 derivative instruments as cash flow hedges, and, as such, all changes in their fair value are reflected in OCI. Therefore, there are no unrealized gains or losses reflected in revenues or other income (expense) with respect to Level 3 derivative instruments.

Note 11 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The estimated fair values of assets and liabilities classified as financial instruments have been determined using available market information and the valuation methodologies described below. Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. The use of different market assumptions or valuation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The carrying values of items comprising current assets and current liabilities approximate fair values due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. Derivative financial instruments included in our financial statements are stated at fair value.

The carrying value of the senior secured revolving credit facilities approximate their fair value, as its interest rate is based on prevailing market rates. The fair value of the Partnership’s senior unsecured notes is based on quoted market prices based on trades of such debt as of the dates indicated in the following table:

	June 30, 2011				December 31, 2010
	Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
	Amount		Value		Amount		Value
Holdco loan facility (1)	$	89.3	$	87.5	$	89.3	$	86.8
Senior unsecured notes of the Partnership, 8¼% fixed rate		209.1		223.9		209.1		219.4
Senior unsecured notes of the Partnership, 11¼% fixed rate		69.6		84.8		221.0		253.2
Senior unsecured notes of the Partnership, 7⅞% fixed rate		250.0		261.7		250.0		259.7
Senior unsecured notes of the Partnership, 6⅞% fixed rate		449.8		473.9		N/A		N/A

_________

(1)

The Holdco Loan is not widely held, and we are not able to obtain an indicative quote from external sources. The December 31, 2010 fair value was based on the November 2010 repurchases. The June 30, 2011 fair value is based on management’s consideration of changes in settlement value given the trades that took place in November 2010.

Note 12 — Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental

For environmental matters, we record liabilities when remedial efforts are probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. Environmental reserves do not reflect management’s assessment of any 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.

The Partnership’s environmental liability at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $1.4 million and $1.6 million. The Partnership’s June 30, 2011 liability consisted of $1.4 million for ground water assessment and remediation.

In May 2007, the New Mexico Environment Department (“NMED”) alleged air emissions violations at the Eunice, Monument and Saunders gas processing plants, which are operated by the Partnership and owned by Versado Gas Processors, LLC (“Versado”), a joint venture that owns these plants and in which the Partnership owns a 63% interest, were identified in the course of an inspection of the Eunice plant conducted by the NMED in August 2005.

In January 2010, Versado settled the alleged violations with NMED for a penalty of approximately $1.5 million. As part of the settlement, Versado agreed to install two acid gas injection wells, additional emission control equipment and monitoring equipment. We estimate the total cost to complete these projects to be approximately $33.4 million, of which the Partnership’s portion of the cost is projected to be $21.0 million. As of June 30, 2011, $14.5 million has been paid by Versado ($9.1 million by the Partnership).

Under the terms of the Versado acquisition purchase and sale agreement between us and the Partnership, we are obligated to reimburse the Partnership for maintenance capital expenditures required pursuant to the NMED settlement agreement.

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 that 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.

Note 14 — Segment Information

With the conveyance of all of our remaining operating assets to the Partnership in September 2010, all operating assets are now owned by the Partnership.

The Partnership reports its operations in two divisions: (i) Natural Gas Gathering and Processing, consisting of two reportable segments – (a) Field Gathering and Processing and (b) Coastal Gathering and Processing; and (ii) Logistics and Marketing consisting of two reportable segments – (a) Logistics Assets and (b) Marketing and Distribution. The financial results of the Partnership’s hedging activities are reported in Other.

The Partnership’s Natural Gas Gathering and Processing division includes assets used in the gathering of natural gas produced from oil and gas wells and processing such raw natural gas into merchantable natural gas by extracting natural gas liquids and removing impurities. The Field Gathering and Processing segment’s assets are located in North Texas and the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico. The Coastal Gathering and Processing segment’s assets are located in the onshore and near offshore regions of the Louisiana Gulf Coast and the Gulf of Mexico.

The Partnership’s Logistics and Marketing division is also referred to as the Downstream Business. The Downstream Business includes all the activities necessary to convert raw natural gas liquids into NGL products and provides certain value added services such as storing, terminaling, transporting, distributing and marketing of NGLs, crude oil and refined petroleum products. It also includes certain natural gas supply and marketing activities in support of the Partnership’s other businesses.

The Partnership’s Logistics Assets segment is involved in transporting, storing, and fractionating mixed NGLs; storing, terminaling, and transporting finished NGLs; and storing and terminaling crude oil and refined petroleum products. These assets are generally connected to and supplied, in part, by the Partnership’s Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segments and are predominantly located in Mont Belvieu, Texas and Southwestern Louisiana. This segment includes the activities associated with the March 2011 acquisition of a refined petroleum products and crude oil storage and terminaling facility located on the Houston Ship Channel.

The Partnership’s Marketing and Distribution segment covers all activities required to distribute and market raw and finished natural gas liquids and all natural gas marketing activities. It includes: (1) marketing the Partnership’s natural gas liquids production and purchasing natural gas liquids products in selected United States markets; (2) providing liquefied petroleum gas balancing services to refinery customers; (3) transporting, storing and selling propane and providing related propane logistics services to multi-state retailers, independent retailers and other end users; and (4) marketing natural gas available to the Partnership from the Partnership’s Natural Gas Gathering and Processing division and the purchase and resale of natural gas in selected United States markets.

Other contains the results of the Partnership’s commodity hedging transactions. Eliminations of inter-segment transactions are reflected in the eliminations column.

Table of Contents

Segment information is shown in the following tables. We have segregated the following segment information between Partnership and non-Partnership activities. Partnership activities have been presented on a common control accounting basis which reflects the dropdown transactions as if they occurred in prior periods similar to a pooling of interests. The non-Partnership results include activities related to certain assets and liabilities contractually excluded from the dropdown transactions and certain historical hedge activities that could not be reflected under GAAP in the Partnership common control results.

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

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in our Annual Report as well as the unaudited consolidated financial statements and notes hereto included in this Quarterly Report.

Overview

Financial Presentation

Targa Resources Corp. is a publicly traded Delaware corporation formed in October 2005. Our common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “TRGP.” In this Quarterly Report, unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “the Company,” or “Targa” are intended to mean our consolidated business and operations, including our wholly-owned subsidiary TRI Resources Inc. (“TRI”).

We own general and limited partner interests, including Incentive Distribution Rights (“IDRs”), in Targa Resources Partners LP (“the Partnership”), a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership that is a leading provider of midstream natural gas and natural gas liquid services in the United States. Common units of the Partnership are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “NGLS.” The Partnership is engaged in the business of gathering, compressing, treating, processing and selling natural gas, storing, fractionating, treating, transporting and selling natural gas liquids, or NGLs, and NGL products and storing and terminaling refined petroleum products and crude oil.

Our primary business objective is to increase our cash available for dividends to our stockholders by assisting the Partnership in executing its business strategy. We may facilitate the Partnership’s growth through various forms of financial support, including, but not limited to, modifying the Partnership’s IDRs, exercising the Partnership’s IDR reset provision contained in its partnership agreement, making loans, making capital contributions in exchange for yielding or non-yielding equity interests or providing other financial support to the Partnership, if needed, to support its ability to make distributions. We also may enter into other economic transactions intended to increase our ability to make cash available for dividends over time. In addition, we may acquire assets that could be candidates for acquisition by the Partnership, potentially after operational or commercial improvement or further development.

An indirect subsidiary of ours is the sole member of Targa Resources GP LLC (the “General Partner”). Because we control the General Partner, under generally accepted accounting principles, we must reflect our ownership interest in the Partnership on a consolidated basis. Accordingly, our financial results are combined with the Partnership’s financial results in our consolidated financial statements even though the distribution or transfer of Partnership assets are limited by the terms of the partnership agreement, as well as restrictive covenants in the Partnership’s lending agreements. The limited partner interests in the Partnership not owned by us are reflected in our results of operations as net income attributable to non-controlling interests. Therefore, throughout this discussion, we make a distinction where relevant between financial results of the Partnership versus those of us as a standalone parent including our non-Partnership subsidiaries.

Operations

Table of Contents

The Partnership’s Logistics Assets segment is involved in transporting, storing, and fractionating mixed NGLs; storing, terminaling, and transporting finished NGLs; and storing and terminaling crude oil and refined petroleum products. These assets are generally connected to and supplied, in part, by the Partnership’s Natural Gas Gathering and Processing segments and are predominantly located in Mont Belvieu, Texas and Southwestern Louisiana. This segment includes the activities associated with the recent acquisition of a refined petroleum products and crude oil storage and terminaling facility located on the Houston Ship Channel.

Other contains the results of the Partnership’s commodity hedging transactions.

We have no separate, direct operating activities apart from those conducted by the Partnership. As such, our cash inflows will primarily consist of cash distributions from our interests in the Partnership. The Partnership is required to distribute all available cash at the end of each quarter after establishing reserves to provide for the proper conduct of its business or to provide for future distributions.

The Partnership files its own separate quarterly reports. The results of operations included in our consolidated financial statements will differ from the results of operations of the Partnership primarily due to the financial effects of: non-controlling interests in the Partnership, our separate debt obligations, certain general and administrative costs applicable to us as a separate public company and certain non-operating assets and liabilities that we retained and were not included in the asset conveyances to the Partnership.

Recent Developments

On January 24, 2011, the Partnership completed a public offering of 8,000,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“common units”) under an existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 at a price of $33.67 per common unit ($32.41 per common unit, net of underwriting discounts), providing net proceeds of $259.2 million. Pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, the Partnership issued an additional 1,200,000 common units, providing net proceeds of $38.8 million. In addition, we contributed $6.3 million to the Partnership for 187,755 general partner units to maintain our 2% general partner interest in the Partnership. The Partnership used the net proceeds from the offering to reduce borrowings under its senior secured credit facility.

On February 4, 2011, the Partnership exchanged an additional $158.6 million principal amount of its 6⅞% Notes plus payments of $28.6 million, including $0.9 million of accrued interest, for $158.6 million aggregate principal amount of its 11¼% Senior Notes due 2017 the (“11¼% Notes”). The debt covenants related to the remaining $72.7 million of face value of the 11¼% Notes were removed as we received sufficient consents in connection with the exchange offer to amend the indenture governing the 11¼ Notes. This exchange was accounted for as a debt modification whereby the financial effects of the exchange will be recognized over the term of the new debt issue.

Table of Contents

On March 15, 2011, the Partnership broadened its Logistics Assets segment portfolio with the acquisition of a refined petroleum products and crude oil storage and terminaling facility (the "Terminal") in Channelview, Texas on Carpenter's Bayou along the Houston Ship Channel for $29.0 million. The Terminal can handle multiple grades of blend stocks, products and crude and has potential for on-site expansion, as well as integration with the Partnership’s other logistics operations. The transaction was paid entirely with cash funded through borrowings under the Partnership’s senior secured revolving credit facility.

On April 26, 2011, certain of our stockholders sold, in a secondary public offering, 5,650,000 shares of our common stock under a registration statement on Form S-1 at a price of $31.73 per share of common stock ($30.65 per share, net of underwriting discounts), providing net proceeds of $173.2 million to selling stockholders. We received no proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders. Pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, selling stockholders also sold an additional 847,500 shares of our common stock, providing additional net proceeds of $26.0 million. We incurred approximately $0.6 million of expenses in connection with the offering, including all expenses of the selling stockholders which we have paid.

On May 9, 2011, the Partnership announced a 100,000 barrel per day expansion of its majority owned Cedar Bayou Fractionator (“CBF”) at Mont Belvieu, Texas. Anchoring this expansion is a long-term, firm-capacity fractionation agreement with DCP Midstream LLC and our internal needs for capacity. The 100,000 barrel per day expansion will be fully integrated with the Partnership’s existing Gulf Coast NGL storage, terminaling and delivery infrastructure, which includes an extensive network of connections to key petrochemical and industrial customers, as well as the Partnership’s LPG export terminal at Galena Park, Texas on the Houston Ship Channel. Construction of the expansion will proceed without disruption to existing operations. We estimate that the total capital expenditures for the CBF expansion and the Partnership's related infrastructure enhancements at Mont Belvieu should approximate $360 million and will be completed in the first quarter of 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendment which becomes effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, requires additional disclosures with regard to fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Early adoption is not permitted.

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income. The amendment which becomes effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, stipulates the financial statement presentation requirements for other comprehensive income. Our financial statement presentation complies with this standards update.

How We Evaluate Our Operations

Our consolidated operations include the operations of the Partnership due to our ownership and control of the General Partner. We have no separate, direct operating activities from those conducted by the Partnership. Our financial results differ from the Partnership’s due to the financial effects of: non-controlling interests in the Partnership, our separate debt obligations, certain non-operating costs associated with assets and liabilities that we retained and were not included in asset conveyances to the Partnership, and certain general and administrative costs applicable to us as a separate public company.

Distributable Cash Flow. We define distributable cash flow as net income attributable to us excluding the Partnership earnings, plus: depreciation and amortization of Non-Partnership assets; Non-Partnership deferred taxes; distributions that are attributable to the current period of the Partnership; losses (gains) on mark to market derivative contracts; and certain pre-Initial Public Offering (“IPO”) tax impacts. Distributable cash flow is a significant performance metric used by us and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors, commercial banks, research analysts and others to compare basic cash flows generated by us to the cash dividends we expect to pay our shareholders. Using this metric, management can quickly compute the coverage ratio of estimated cash flows to planned cash dividends. Distributable cash flow is also an important financial measure for our shareholders since it serves as an indicator of our success in providing a cash return on investment. Specifically, this financial measure indicates to investors whether or not we are generating cash flow at a level that can sustain or support an increase in our quarterly dividend rates. Distributable cash flow is also a quantitative standard used throughout the investment community because the share value is generally determined by the share’s yield (which in turn is based on the amount of cash dividends the entity pays to a shareholder).

Table of Contents

The economic substance behind our use of distributable cash flow is to measure the ability of our assets to generate cash flow sufficient to pay dividends to our investors.

The GAAP measure most directly comparable to distributable cash flow is net income. Distributable cash flow should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income. Distributable cash flow is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and has important limitations as an analytical tool. You should not consider distributable cash flow in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because distributable cash flow excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and is defined differently by different companies in our industry, our definition of distributable cash flow may not be compatible to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.

Management compensates for the limitations of distributable cash flow as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable GAAP measure, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating these insights into its decision making process. On July 11, 2011, the Partnership announced that the board of directors of its General Partner declared a quarterly distribution for the second quarter of 2011 of $0.57 per common unit, or an annual rate of $2.28 per common unit. Based on these distribution rates, we will receive quarterly distributions of $6.6 million, or $26.6 million on an annualized basis, in respect of our common units in the Partnership, and based on these distribution rates, we will receive quarterly distributions of $7.8 million and $1.2 million, or $31.3 million and $4.6 million on an annualized basis, based on our IDRs and 2% general partner interests. See Note 6 – Partnership Units and Related Matters.

How We Evaluate the Partnership’s Operations

The Partnership’s profitability is a function of the difference between the revenues it receives from its operations, including revenues from the natural gas, NGLs and condensate it sells, and the costs associated with conducting its operations, including the costs of wellhead natural gas and mixed NGLs that it purchases as well as operating and general and administrative costs, and the impact of the Partnership’s commodity hedging activities. Because commodity price movements tend to impact both revenues and costs, increases or decreases in the Partnership’s revenues alone are not necessarily indicative of increases or decreases in its profitability. The Partnership’s contract portfolio, the prevailing pricing environment for natural gas and NGLs, and the volumes of natural gas and NGL throughput on its systems are important factors in determining its profitability. The Partnership’s profitability is also affected by the NGL content in gathered wellhead natural gas, supply and demand for its products and services and changes in its customer mix.

Management uses a variety of financial measures and operational measurements to analyze the Partnership’s performance. These measurements include: (1) throughput volumes, facility efficiencies and fuel consumption, (2) operating expenses and (3) the following non-GAAP measures—gross margin, operating margin, adjusted EBITDA and distributable cash flow.

Throughput Volumes, Facility Efficiencies and Fuel Consumption. The Partnership’s profitability is impacted by its ability to add new sources of natural gas supply to offset the natural decline of existing volumes from natural gas wells that are connected to its gathering and processing systems. This is achieved by connecting new wells and adding new volumes in existing areas of production, as well as by capturing natural gas supplies currently gathered by third parties. Similarly, the Partnership’s profitability is impacted by its ability to add new sources of mixed NGL supply, typically connected by third-party transportation, to its Downstream Business’ fractionation facilities. The Partnership fractionates NGLs generated by its gathering and processing plants, as well as by contracting for mixed NGL supply from third-party gathering or fractionation facilities.

In addition, the Partnership seeks to increase operating margin by limiting volume losses and reducing fuel consumption by increasing compression efficiency. With its gathering systems’ extensive use of remote monitoring capabilities, the Partnership monitors the volumes of natural gas received at the wellhead or central delivery points along its gathering systems, the volume of natural gas received at its processing plant inlets and the volumes of NGLs and residue natural gas recovered by its processing plants. The Partnership also monitors the volumes of NGLs received, stored, fractionated, and delivered across its logistics assets. This information is tracked through its processing plants and Downstream Business facilities to determine customer settlements for sales and volume-related fees for service and help the Partnership increase efficiency and reduce fuel consumption.

Table of Contents

As part of monitoring the efficiency of its operations, the Partnership measures the difference between the volume of natural gas received at the wellhead or central delivery points on its gathering systems and the volume received at the inlet of its processing plants as an indicator of fuel consumption and line loss. The Partnership also tracks the difference between the volume of natural gas received at the inlet of the processing plant and the NGLs and residue gas produced at the outlet of such plant to monitor the fuel consumption and recoveries of the facilities. Similar tracking is performed for its logistics assets. These volume, recovery and fuel consumption measurements are an important part of the Partnership’s operational efficiency analysis.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses are costs associated with the operation of a specific asset. Labor, contract services, repair and maintenance, utilities and ad valorem taxes comprise the most significant portion of the Partnership’s operating expenses. These expenses generally remain relatively stable and independent of the volumes through its systems but fluctuate depending on the scope of the activities performed during a specific period.

Gross Margin. Gross margin is defined as revenues less purchases. It is impacted by volumes and commodity prices as well as the Partnership’s contract mix and hedging program. We define Natural Gas Gathering and Processing gross margin as total operating revenues from the sales of natural gas and NGLs plus service fee revenues, less product purchases, which consist primarily of producer payments and other natural gas purchases. Logistics Assets gross margin consists primarily of service fee revenue. Gross margin for Marketing and Distribution equals total revenue from service fees and NGL sales, less cost of sales, which consists primarily of NGL purchases, transportation costs and changes in inventory valuation. The gross margin impacts of cash flow hedge settlements are reported in Other.

Operating Margin. Operating margin is an important performance measure of the core profitability of the Partnership’s operations. We define operating margin as gross margin less operating expenses. Natural gas and NGL sales revenue includes settlement gains and losses on commodity hedges.

Gross margin and operating margin are non-GAAP measures. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to gross margin and operating margin is net income. Gross margin and operating margin are not alternatives to GAAP net income and have important limitations as analytical tools. Investors should not consider gross margin and operating margin in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because gross margin and operating margin exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income and are defined differently by different companies in our industry, our definition of gross margin and operating margin may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing their utility.

Our management reviews business segment gross margin and operating margin monthly as a core internal management process. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures that our management uses in evaluating our operating results. Gross margin and operating margin provide useful information to investors because they are used as supplemental financial measures by us and by external users of our financial statements, including investors and commercial banks, to assess:

·	the financial performance of the Partnership’s assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;

·	the Partnership’s operating performance and return on capital as compared to other companies in the midstream energy sector, without regard to financing or capital structure; and

·	the viability of acquisitions and capital expenditure projects and the overall rates of return on alternative investment opportunities.

Management compensates for the limitations of gross margin and operating margin as analytical tools by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating these insights into its decision-making processes.

Adjusted EBITDA. The Partnership defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, gains or losses on debt repurchases and non-cash risk management activities related to derivative instruments. Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by the Partnership and by external users of our financial statements such as investors, commercial banks and others.

The economic substance behind the Partnership’s use of Adjusted EBITDA is to measure the ability of its assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest costs, support its indebtedness and make distributions to its investors.

The GAAP measures most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA are net cash provided by operating activities and net income. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net cash provided by operating activities or GAAP net income. Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP and has important limitations as an analytical tool. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes some, but not all, items that affect net income and net cash provided by operating activities and is defined differently by different companies in our industry, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The Partnership compensates for the limitations of Adjusted EBITDA as an analytical tool by reviewing the comparable GAAP measures, understanding the differences between the measures and incorporating these insights into its decision-making processes.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010

Consolidated revenues (including the impacts of hedging) increased due to higher net impact of realized commodity prices ($364.9 million), higher NGL and natural gas sales volumes ($97.1 million) and higher fee-based and other revenues ($26.4 million) including a contract settlement ($7.5 million) related to a restructured multi-year propane exchange agreement which may result in the receipt of future payments over the remaining term of the contract, partially offset by lower condensate sales volumes ($0.9 million).

Consolidated operating margin increased $58.6 million, reflecting higher gross margin partially offset by increased operating expenses. The increase in consolidated gross margin reflects higher revenues ($487.6 million) partially offset by increases in product purchase costs ($419.3 million). The increase in consolidated operating expenses of $9.7 million primarily reflects increased compensation and benefits, maintenance and fuel, utilities and catalyst costs. See “Results of Operations—By Segment” for additional information regarding changes in the components of operating margin on a disaggregated basis.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of $1.4 million is primarily driven by the impact of depreciation expense related to new assets placed in service since the second quarter of 2010.

General and administrative expenses increased $7.1 million reflecting higher allocations of increased compensation and benefits.

Consolidated interest expense increased $1.6 million due to higher interest expense on third party debt incurred by the Partnership ($9.5 million) partially offset by lower interest expense ($7.9 million) associated with our outstanding borrowings. Our borrowings decreased due to the repayment to us of affiliate debt by the Partnership and our subsequent re-purchases of Holdco debt and payments to extinguish the outstanding balance of our revolver.

See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” for information regarding our outstanding debt obligations.

Loss on mark-to-market derivative instruments increased $3.2 million attributable to interest rate swaps that did not qualify for hedge accounting as of February 11, 2011. See "Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in this Quarterly Report for more information regarding de-designated interest rate swaps.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

Consolidated revenues (including the impacts of hedging) increased due to the net impact of higher realized commodity prices ($384.4 million), higher NGL and natural gas sales volumes ($206.2 million) and higher fee-based and other revenues ($39.4 million) including a contract settlement ($7.5 million) related to a restructured multi-year propane exchange agreement which may result in the receipt of future payments over the remaining term of the contract, partially offset by lower condensate sales volumes ($8.0 million).

Consolidated operating margin increased $86.5 million, reflecting higher gross margin partially offset by increased operating expenses. The increase in consolidated gross margin reflects higher revenues ($622.1 million) partially offset by increases in product purchase costs ($522.2 million). The increase in consolidated operating expenses of $13.4 million primarily reflects increased compensation and benefits, maintenance and fuel, utilities and catalyst costs. See “Results of Operations—By Segment” for additional information regarding changes in the components of operating margin on a disaggregated basis.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expenses of $2.0 million is primarily driven by the impact of depreciation expense related to new assets placed in service since the second quarter of 2010.

General and administrative expenses increased $15.7 million reflecting higher allocations of increased compensation and benefits.

Consolidated interest expense increased $2.6 million due to higher interest expense on third party debt incurred by the Partnership ($21.5 million) partially offset by lower interest expense ($18.9 million) associated with our outstanding borrowings. Our borrowings decreased due to the repayment to us of affiliate debt by the Partnership and our subsequent re-purchases of Holdco debt and payments to extinguish the outstanding balance of our revolver.

See “—Liquidity and Capital Resources” for information regarding our outstanding debt obligations.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010

The $26.0 million increase in gross margin for 2011 was primarily due to higher commodity sales prices ($101.9 million), higher natural gas and NGL sales volumes ($18.0 million) and higher fee based and other revenues ($0.3 million), partially offset by higher product purchases ($94.1 million). The increase in plant inlet volumes was largely attributable to new well connects throughout the Partnership’s systems, particularly North Texas and SAOU, partially offset by production declines at the Partnership’s Versado system.

The $5.2 million increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher fuel, utilities and catalysts expenses ($1.2 million), higher system maintenance expenses ($1.1 million), higher compensation and benefit costs ($2.0 million) and higher contract and professional service expenses ($1.0 million).

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

The $23.9 million increase in gross margin for 2011 was primarily due to higher NGL and condensate sales prices ($122.2 million), higher natural gas and NGL volumes ($28.3 million) and higher fee based and other revenues ($1.3 million), partially offset by higher product purchases ($100.8 million), lower natural gas sales prices ($25.4 million), and lower condensate sales volumes ($1.6 million). The increase in plant inlet volumes was largely attributable to new well connects throughout the Partnership’s systems, particularly North Texas and SAOU, partially offset by the impact of severe cold weather in the first quarter of 2011 and operational outages combined with production declines at the Partnership’s Versado system.

The $10.1 million increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher fuel, utilities and catalysts expenses ($2.8 million), higher system maintenance expenses ($2.5 million) driven by severe cold weather and operational outages in the first quarter of 2011, higher compensation and benefit costs ($2.8 million) and higher contract and professional service expenses ($2.0 million).

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010

The $22.5 million increase in gross margin for 2011 is primarily due to an increase in commodity sales prices ($62.5 million) and an increase fee based and other revenues ($0.7 million), partially offset by an increase in product purchases ($14.5 million) and a decrease in commodity sales volumes ($26.2 million). The decrease in plant inlet volumes was largely attributable to a decline in traditional wellhead and leaner offshore supply volumes. The impact of the decrease in plant inlet was offset by incrementally adding volumes at facilities with higher recovery levels. Natural gas sales volumes decreased due to lower demand from the Partnership’s industrial customers and lower sales to other reportable segments for resale.

Operating expenses were flat.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

The $31.6 million increase in gross margin for 2011 is primarily due to an increase in NGL and condensate sales prices ($80.9 million), an increase fee based and other revenues ($2.3 million) and a decrease in product purchases ($31.7 million), partially offset by a decrease in natural gas sales prices ($23.9 million) and a decrease in commodity sales volumes ($59.4 million).

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010

The $17.0 million increase in gross margin primarily reflects higher terminaling and storage revenue ($6.4 million) and increased fractionation volumes ($9.4 million). Terminaling and storage revenue is primarily due to increased supply services to petrochemical customers at the Partnership’s Mont Belvieu terminal, higher LPG exports at the Partnership’s Galena Park terminal, and a full quarter of operations of the recently acquired Channelview Terminal. The start-up and operation of the 78 MBbl/d expansion at the Cedar Bayou facility in the second quarter of 2011 resulted in higher throughput and increased gross margin.

The $1.6 million increase in operating expenses was primarily due to higher natural gas price for fuel to fractionators ($3.2 million), and higher costs associated with fractionation maintenance ($0.6 million), higher compensation and benefit costs ($1.4 million), contractor and professional services ($1.0 million), offset by a more favorable system product volume gain which was valued at higher 2011 NGL prices ($5.1 million).

Three Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2010

The $16.5 million increase in gross margin was due to higher NGL volumes ($118.6 million) and natural gas volumes ($70.7 million), higher NGL prices ($326.2 million) higher natural gas prices ($13.8 million) and higher fee-based and other revenues ($13.1 million), offset by increased product purchases ($525.8 million). Factors contributing to a higher operating margin in 2011 included increased export sales and, and the positive impact of a contract settlement ($7.5 million) related to a multi-year propane exchange agreement. The contract, as restructured, may result in the receipt of future payments over the remaining term of the contract.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011 Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2010

The $30.1 million increase in gross margin was due to higher NGL volumes ($238.5 million), higher natural gas volumes ($102.8 million), higher NGL prices ($400.7 million) higher fee-based and other revenues ($14.4 million) offset by lower natural gas prices ($62.2 million), increased product purchases ($664.1 million). Factors contributing to a higher operating margin in 2011 included increased West Coast propane sales, increased export sales and the positive impact of a contract settlement ($7.5 million) related to a multi-year propane exchange agreement. The contract, as restructured, may result in the receipt of future payments over the remaining term of the contract.

Other contains the financial effects of the Partnership’s hedging program on profitability. The primary purpose of the Partnership’s commodity risk management activities is to hedge its exposure to commodity price risk and reduce fluctuations in its operating cash flow despite fluctuations in commodity prices. The Partnership has hedged the commodity price associated with a portion of its expected natural gas, NGL and condensate equity volumes by entering into derivative financial instruments. As such, these hedge positions will enhance the Partnership’s margins in periods of falling prices and decrease its margins in periods of rising prices.

The following table provides a breakdown of the Partnership’s hedge results by product:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As a result of our conveyances of all of our remaining operating assets to the Partnership, we have no separate, direct operating activities apart from those conducted by the Partnership. As such, our ability to finance our operations, including payment of dividends to our common stockholders, funding capital expenditures and acquisitions, or to meet our indebtedness obligations, will depend on cash inflows from future cash distributions to us from our interests in the Partnership. The Partnership is required to distribute all available cash at the end of each quarter after establishing reserves to provide for the proper conduct of its business or to provide for future distributions. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2010. As of June 30, 2011, our interests in the Partnership consist of the following:

•	a 2% general partner interest, which we hold through our 100% ownership interest in the general partner of the Partnership;

•	all of the outstanding IDRs; and

•	11,645,659 of the 84,756,009 outstanding common units of the Partnership, representing a 13.7% limited partnership interest.

Our ownership of the general partner interest entitles us to receive:

•	2% of all cash distributed in respect for that quarter.

Our ownership of the IDR’s of the Partnership entitles us to receive:

•	13% of all cash distributed in a quarter after $0.3881 has been distributed in respect of each common unit of the Partnership for that quarter;

•	23% of all cash distributed in a quarter after $0.4219 has been distributed in respect of each common unit of the Partnership for that quarter; and

•	48% of all cash distributed in a quarter after $0.50625 has been distributed in respect of each common unit of the Partnership for that quarter.

Table of Contents

On July 11, 2011, the Partnership announced that the board of directors of its General Partner declared a quarterly distribution for the second quarter of 2011 of $0.57 per common unit, or an annual rate of $2.28 per common unit. Based on these distribution rates, we will receive quarterly distributions of $6.6 million, or $26.6 million on an annualized basis, in respect of our common units in the Partnership, and based on these distribution rates, we will receive quarterly distributions of $7.8 million and $1.2 million, or $31.3 million and $4.6 million on an annualized basis, based on our IDRs and 2% general partner interests.

We intend to pay to our stockholders, on a quarterly basis, dividends equal to the cash the Partnership distributes to us based on our ownership of Partnership securities, less the expenses of being a public company, other general and administrative expenses, federal income taxes, capital contributions to the Partnership and reserves established by our board of directors.

On July 11, 2011, we announced a quarterly dividend of $0.29 per share of our common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2011, or $1.16 per share on an annualized basis. The declared dividend totals $12.3 million, including $0.4 million with respect to accrued dividends related to unvested restricted stock grants. The cash dividend of $11.9 million will be paid on August 16, 2011.

As of June 30, 2011, we had $154.7 million of cash on hand, including $73.1 million of cash belonging to the Partnership. We do not have access to the Partnership’s cash as it is restricted for the use of the Partnership. We have the ability to use $81.6 million of the cash on hand and available to us to satisfy our aggregate tax liability of approximately $83.0 million over the next fourteen years associated with our sales of assets to the Partnership and related financings, as well as to fund the reimbursement of certain capital expenditures to the Partnership associated with its acquisition of Versado. In addition, we have a contingent obligation to contribute to the Partnership limited distribution support in any quarter through 2011 if and to the extent the Partnership has insufficient available cash to fund a distribution of $0.5175 per unit, limited to $8.0 million per quarter. We have not yet and do not currently expect to make any payments pursuant to this distribution support obligation.

Our and the Partnership’s cash generated from operations has been sufficient to finance 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, primarily from distributions received from the Partnership and borrowings available under our senior secured credit facility should provide sufficient resources to finance our operations, non-acquisition related capital expenditures, long-term indebtedness obligations and collateral requirements. Our future cash flows will consist of distributions to us from our interests in the Partnership, from which we intend to make quarterly cash dividends to our stockholders from available cash.

The impact on us of changes in the Partnership’s distribution levels will vary depending on several factors, including the Partnership’s total outstanding partnership interests on the record date for the distribution, the aggregate cash distributions made by the Partnership and the interests in the Partnership owned by us. If the Partnership increases distributions to its unitholders, including us, we would expect to increase dividends to our stockholders, although the timing and amount of such increased dividends, if any, will not necessarily be comparable to the timing and amount of the increase in distributions made by the Partnership. In addition, the level of distributions we receive and of dividends we pay to our stockholders may be affected by the various risks associated with an investment in us and the underlying business of the Partnership. Please read “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report and our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2010 for more information about the risks that may impact your investment in us.

A significant portion of the Partnership’s 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, as assigned to us and the Partnership by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Corporation, and counterparties’ views of our financial condition and ability to satisfy our performance obligations, as well as commodity prices and other factors. As of June 30, 2011, we had no outstanding letter of credit postings and the Partnership had $86.3 million.

Working Capital. Working capital is the amount by which current assets exceed current liabilities. The Partnership’s working capital requirements are primarily driven by changes in accounts receivable and accounts payable. These changes are impacted by changes in the prices of commodities that the Partnership buys and sells. In general, the Partnership’s working capital requirements increase in periods of rising commodity prices and decrease in periods of declining commodity prices. However, the Partnership’s working capital needs do not necessarily change at the same rate as commodity prices because both accounts receivable and accounts payable are impacted by the same commodity prices. In addition, the timing of payments received by the Partnership’s customers or paid to its suppliers can also cause fluctuations in working capital because the Partnership settles with most of its larger suppliers and customers on a monthly basis and often near the end of the month. The Partnership expects that its future working capital requirements will be impacted by these same factors. The Partnership expects that cash flows provided by operating activities and availability under its credit facility will be sufficient to meet its operating requirements for the next twelve months.

Operating Activities of the Partnership

The Partnership’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows employs the traditional indirect method of presenting cash flows from operating activities. Under the indirect method, net cash provided by operating activities is derived by adjusting the Partnership’s net income for non-cash items related to operating activities. An alternative GAAP presentation employs the direct method in which the actual cash receipts and outlays comprising cash flow are presented. The following table displays the Partnership’s operating cash flows using the direct method as a supplement to the presentation in the Partnership’s financial statements.

_________

(1)

The change in cash paid to derivative counterparties reflects the change in our net position from in-the-money for the quarter ending June 30, 2010 to out-of-the-money for the quarter ending June 30, 2011. Our gross and operating margins for the six months ended June 30, 2010 included in Other for segment purposes, where we report the results of our commodity hedging activities, reflect inflows of cash from counterparties offset by $16.2 million of non-cash expense items. These non-cash expense items are related to amortization of hedge termination fees (See Note 9 for more information) and hedge ineffectiveness.

(2)	The increase in general and administrative cash payments results from higher 2011 intercompany settlements following the completion during April through September 2010 of the remaining asset drop downs.

(3)	Total distributions received exceeded cumulative earnings. Therefore, $0.6 million in excess distributions over earnings were classified as an investing activity for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Investing Activities of TRC – Non-Partnership

Net cash provided by investing activities consisted of $2.5 million in outlays for property, plant and equipment for the six months ended 2011 compared to $1.1 million in 2010.

Investing Activities of the Partnership

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $126.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010. The increase was primarily driven by the Partnership’s acquisition of the Channelview Terminal for $29.0 million and a $76.0 million increase in expansion capital projects in gathering and processing assets and in fractionation assets. The Partnership also invested $6.0 million in equity contributions associated with the expansion at Gulf Coast Fractionators.

Financing Activities of TRC – Non-Partnership

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $28.9 million. During 2010, we received from the Partnership $332.8 million in repayments of affiliated indebtedness, and received $224.7 million from the sale of Partnership interests. These proceeds were primarily used to pay $419.9 million in dividends to common and common equivalent shareholders and preferred shareholders, and $218.9 million in outstanding balances on our loan facilities during 2010. Distributions to us from the Partnership increased $4.4 million in 2011 compared to 2010 primarily from a $7.2 million increase in distributions related to our incentive distribution rights, offset by a $3.5 million decrease in limited partner distributions due to our sale of Partnership interests during 2010.

Financing Activities of the Partnership

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $53.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities was driven by two primary factors: distributions and changes in our equity offerings and financing activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 compared to 2010, distributions increased by $31.1 million. Net proceeds from public offerings, issuance of senior notes and borrowings under the Partnership’s credit facility less repayments on the Partnership’s credit facility decreased from $60.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 to $34.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

Table of Contents

The Partnership’s primary financing activities that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2011 were:

On January 24, 2011, the Partnership completed a public offering of 8,000,000 common units in them under an existing shelf registration statement on Form S-3 at a price of $33.67 per common unit ($32.41 per common unit, net of underwriting discounts), providing net proceeds of $259.2 million. Pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ overallotment option, on February 3, 2011 the Partnership issued an additional 1,200,000 common units, providing net proceeds of approximately $38.8 million. In addition, we, as the general partner, contributed $6.3 million for 187,755 general partner units to maintain our 2% general partner interest in the Partnership. The Partnership used the net proceeds from the offering to reduce borrowings under its senior secured credit facility.

·	On February 2, 2011, the Partnership closed a private placement of $325.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Partnership’s 6⅞% Notes resulting in net proceeds of $318.8 million.

On February 4, 2011, the Partnership exchanged an additional $158.6 million principal amount of the Partnership’s 6⅞% Notes for $158.6 million aggregate principal amount of its 11¼% Notes. In conjunction with the exchange the Partnership paid a cash premium of $28.6 million including $0.9 million of accrued interest.

Net cash from the completion of the unit offerings and the note offering less cash paid in connection with the exchange offer was used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Partnership’s senior secured credit facility by $595.2 million.

Cash Distributions

The following table shows the historical distributions of the Partnership to us for 2011 and 2010 with respect of our 2% general partner interest, the associated IDRs and actual common units that we held during the periods indicated along with dividends declared by us to our shareholders for the same periods. The amount of these Partnership distributions available for distribution to us and the Partnership’s shareholders will be after reserves are established for the Partnership’s capital contributions, debt service requirements, general, administrative and other expenses, future distributions and other miscellaneous uses of cash:

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 the Partnership’s gathering system is generally paid for by the natural gas producer. However, the Partnership expects to make significant expenditures during the next year for the construction of additional natural gas gathering and processing infrastructure and to enhance the value of its natural gas logistics and marketing assets.

We and the Partnership categorize capital expenditures as either: (i) maintenance expenditures or (ii) expansion expenditures. Maintenance expenditures are those expenditures that are necessary to maintain the service capability of our existing assets including the replacement of system components and equipment which is worn, obsolete or completing its useful life, the addition of new sources of natural gas supply to our systems to replace natural gas production declines and expenditures to remain in compliance with environmental laws and regulations. Expansion expenditures improve the service capability of the existing assets, extend asset useful lives, increase capacities from existing levels, add capabilities, reduce costs or enhance revenues.

The Partnership estimates that its total capital expenditures for 2011 will be approximately $370 million gross and $335 million net of non-controlling interest share and reimbursements. The Partnership also estimates that of the $335 million net capital expenditures, approximately 20% will be for maintenance. Given the Partnership’s objective of growth through acquisitions, expansions of existing assets and other internal growth projects, the Partnership anticipates that over time it will invest significant amounts of capital to grow and acquire assets. Major capital projects include:

·	a $360 million expansion project at CBF to add an additional fractionator and related infrastructure enhancements at Mont Belvieu;

·	a $40 million capital expansion project to expand the gathering and processing capability of the Partnership’s North Texas System;

·	a $35 million benzene treatment project at Mont Belvieu to construct a treater designed to reduce benzene content of natural gasoline to meet new, more stringent environmental standards;

·	a $30 million capital expansion project to expand the gathering and processing capability of the Partnership’s SAOU System;

·	a $13 million expansion of our dock facilities and related infrastructure enhancements at Galena Park; and

·	the Partnership’s portion of the $75 million expansion at Gulf Coast Fractionators, which is expected to be approximately $29 million.

Table of Contents

The Partnership expects to fund future capital expenditures with funds generated from its operations, borrowings under its senior secured revolving credit facility, the issuance of additional Partnership common units and debt offerings.

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.

The Partnership’s principal market risks are its exposure to changes in commodity prices, particularly to the prices of natural gas and NGLs, changes in interest rates, as well as nonperformance by its customers. Neither we nor the Partnership use risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes.

Commodity Price Risk. A majority of the Partnership’s revenues are derived from percent-of-proceeds contracts under which it receives 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 fluctuations in response to changes in supply, demand, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors beyond the Partnership’s control. The Partnership monitors these risks and enters into hedging transactions designed to mitigate the impact of commodity price fluctuations on its 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. 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.

The Partnership has tailored its hedges to generally match the NGL product composition and the NGL and natural gas delivery points to those of its physical equity volumes. The NGL hedges cover specific NGL products based upon the expected equity NGL composition. The Partnership believes this strategy avoids uncorrelated risks resulting from employing hedges on crude oil or other petroleum products as “proxy” hedges of NGL prices. The NGL hedges’ fair values are based on published index prices for delivery at Mont Belvieu through 2013, except for the price of isobutane in 2012, which is based on the ending 2011 pricing. The natural gas hedges’ fair values are based on published index prices for delivery at WAHA, Permian Basin and Mid-Continent, which closely approximate the actual NGL and natural gas delivery points. A portion of the Partnership’s condensate sales are hedged using crude oil hedges that are based on the NYMEX futures contracts for West Texas Intermediate light, sweet crude.

These commodity price hedging transactions are typically documented pursuant to a standard International Swap Dealers Association form with customized credit and legal terms. The principal counterparties (or, if applicable, their guarantors) have investment grade credit ratings. The Partnership’s 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 currently secured by a first priority lien in the collateral securing its senior secured indebtedness that ranks equal in right of payment with liens granted in favor of its senior secured lenders. Absent new federal regulations resulting from the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and as long as this first priority lien is in effect, the Partnership expects to have no obligation to post cash, letters of credit or other additional collateral to secure these hedges at any time, even if a counterparty’s exposure to the Partnership’s credit increases over the term of the hedge as a result of higher commodity prices or because there has been a change in the Partnership’s creditworthiness. A purchased put (or floor) transaction does not create credit exposure to the Partnership for the Partnership’s counterparties.

For all periods presented, the Partnership has entered into hedging arrangements for a portion of its forecasted equity volumes. Floor volumes and floor pricing are based solely on purchased puts (or floors). During the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 the Partnership’s operating revenues were increased (decreased) by net hedge adjustments on commodity derivative contracts of $(13.2) million and $2.7 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 the Partnership’s operating revenues were increased (decreased) by net hedge adjustments on commodity derivative contracts of $(17.6) million and $(0.3) million.

As of June 30, 2011, the Partnership had the following hedge arrangements which will settle during the years ending December 31, 2011 through 2014 (except as indicated otherwise, the 2011 volumes reflect daily volumes for the period from July 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011):

These contracts may expose the Partnership to the risk of financial loss in certain circumstances. Its hedging arrangements provide 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 they have been hedged, the Partnership will receive less revenue on the hedged volumes than it would receive in the absence of hedges.

The Partnership accounts for the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the significant 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 an entity to develop its own assumptions. The value of the NGL derivative contracts is determined utilizing a discounted cash flow model for swaps and a standard option pricing model for options, based on inputs that are readily available in public markets. For the NGL contracts that have inputs from quoted prices, the classification of these instruments is Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. For those NGL contracts which the Partnership is unable to obtain quoted prices for at least 90% of the full term of the commodity swap and options, the NGL valuations are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy.

Interest Rate Risk. We and the Partnership are exposed to changes in interest rates. We are exposed to interest rate changes due to our variable rate Holdco Loan facility. The Partnership is exposed to interest rate changes as a result of variable rate borrowings under the senior secured revolving credit facility of the Partnership. To the extent that interest rates increase, interest expense for our Holdco Loan facility and the Partnership’s revolving debt will also increase. As of June 30, 2011, we had variable rate borrowings of $89.3 million outstanding and the Partnership had variable rate borrowings of $198.0 million outstanding. In an effort to reduce the variability of its cash flows, the Partnership has entered into several interest rate swap and interest rate basis swap agreements. Under these agreements, the base interest rate on the specified notional amount (currently $300.0 million) of its variable rate debt is effectively fixed for the term of each agreement and ineffectiveness is required to be measured each reporting period for those contracts designated as hedging instruments. See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report for more information regarding classifications within the fair value hierarchy.

All interest rate swaps and interest rate basis swaps had been designated as cash flow hedges of variable rate interest payments on borrowings under the Partnership’s senior secured revolving credit facility until February 11, 2011, when the Partnership de-designated $125.0 million notional principal of fixed interest rate swaps and $25.0 million notional principal of interest rate basis swaps. The Partnership de-designated the swaps as borrowings under its credit facility reduced below $300.0 million, which is the total notional amount of the fixed interest rate swaps. The de-designated swaps receive mark-to-market treatment, with changes in fair value, cash and accrued settlements recorded to other income (expense).

Table of Contents

As of June 30, 2011, the Partnership had the following open interest rate swaps:

Period	Fixed Rate		Notional Amount		Fair Value
Remainder of 2011		3.52%	$	300	$	(5.0	)
2012		3.40%		300		(7.1	)
2013		3.39%		300		(6.3	)
1/1/2014 - 4/24/2014		3.39%		300		(1.9	)
					$	(20.3	)

After taking into account the Partnership’s interest rate swaps that are designated as cash flow hedges, a hypothetical change of 100 basis points in the underlying interest rate of variable rate debt would impact the Partnership’s annual interest expense by $0.2 million and would impact the TRC Non-Partnership annual interest expense by $0.9 million.

Counterparty Risk – Credit and Concentration

Credit Risk. The Partnership is subject to risk of losses resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by its counterparties. The credit exposure related to commodity derivative instruments is represented by the fair value of the asset position (i.e. the fair value of expected future receipts) at the reporting date. Should the creditworthiness of one or more of the counterparties decline, the Partnership’s 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, the Partnership may sustain a loss and its cash receipts could be negatively impacted.

As of June 30, 2011, affiliates of Barclays PLC (“Barclays”) and Credit Suisse Group AG (“Credit Suisse”) accounted for 57% and 11% of the Partnership’s counterparty credit exposure related to commodity derivative instruments. Barclays and Credit Suisse are major financial institutions that possess investment grade credit ratings based upon minimum credit ratings assigned by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Corporation.

Customer Credit Risk. The Partnership extends credit to customers and other parties in the normal course of business. The Partnership has established various procedures to manage its credit exposure, including initial credit approvals, credit limits and terms, letters of credit and rights of offset. The Partnership also uses prepayments and guarantees to limit credit risk to ensure that its established credit criteria are met.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of June 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were designed at the reasonable assurance level and, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level to provide that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, as amended) during the three months ended June 30, 2011 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

The information required for this item is provided in Note 12 – Commitments and Contingencies, under the heading “Legal Proceedings” included in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included under Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report, which is incorporated by reference into this item.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

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

Recently proposed rules regulating air emissions from oil and natural gas operations could cause the Partnership as well as natural gas exploration and production operators to incur increased capital expenditures and operating costs as well as cause the Partnership to experience reduced demand for its gathering, processing or fractionation services.

On July 28, 2011, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) proposed rules that would establish new air emission controls for oil and natural gas production and natural gas processing operations. Specifically, EPA’s proposed rule package includes New Source Performance Standards (“NSPS”) to address emissions of sulfur dioxide and volatile organic compounds (“VOCs”), and a separate set of emission standards to address hazardous air pollutants frequently associated with oil and natural gas production and processing activities. The EPA’s proposal would require the reduction of VOC emissions from oil and natural gas production facilities by mandating the use of “green completions” for hydraulic fracturing, which requires the operator to recover rather than vent the gas and natural gas liquids that come to the surface during completion of the fracturing process. The proposed rules also would establish specific requirements regarding emissions from compressors, dehydrators, storage tanks and other production equipment. In addition, the rules combined with other federal and state rules that regulate air emissions that impact natural gas gathering and processing operations would establish new operating requirements for the Partnership's business. The EPA will receive public comment and hold hearings regarding the proposed rules and must take final action on them by February 28, 2012. If finalized, these rules could require a number of modifications to the Partnership’s customer’s as well as the Partnership’s operations including the installation of new equipment. Compliance with such rules could result in significant costs as well as delays in well completions by the Partnership's customers, including increased capital expenditures and operating costs, which may adversely impact the Partnership’s business. Moreover, the incurrence of such expenditures and costs by the Partnership’s exploration and production customers’ could result in reduced production by those customers and thus translate into reduced demand for the Partnership’s gathering, processing or fractionation services.
