GULFSTREAM NATURAL GAS SYSTEM, L.L.C.

Notes to Financial Statements

 

1. Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Operations. Gulfstream Natural Gas System, L.L.C. (collectively, “we”, “our”, “us” and “company”) owns an approximate 745-mile interstate natural gas pipeline system and is owned 25.5% by a subsidiary of Spectra Energy Corp (Spectra Energy), 24.5% by Spectra Energy Partners, LP (Spectra Energy Partners) and 50% by affiliates of, or entities controlled by The Williams Companies, Inc. (Williams). We are operated under joint management by Spectra Energy, which provides the business functions, and Williams, which provides the technical functions. We transport natural gas from Mississippi and Alabama, crossing the Gulf of Mexico to markets in central and southern Florida. Our interstate natural gas transmission operations are subject to the rules and regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). We were formed on May 17, 1999 as a Delaware limited liability company.

Basis of Presentation. The financial statements reflect the results of operations, financial position and cash flows of our company. The financial statements do not include any of the assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses of the members. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements included in Spectra Energy Partners’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to fairly present our results of operations and financial position.

Use of Estimates. To conform with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States, we make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Financial Statements and Notes to Financial Statements. Although these estimates are based on our best available knowledge at the time, actual results could differ.

 

2. Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents, for each of the fair value hierarchy levels, assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Level 1 valuations represent quoted unadjusted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Financial Instruments. There was no material change in fair value from December 31, 2009 for financial instruments recorded and carried at book value. Judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value.

During the 2010 and 2009 periods, there were no adjustments to assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

3. Hedging Activities

Interest Rate (Cash Flow) Hedges. We are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in interest rates. To protect from increasing interest rates and the resulting higher cost of the debt that was issued in 2005, we locked in existing interest rates by using financial derivatives (swaps) for hedge strategies. The total amount of the debt in 2005 was $850.0 million of which $500.0 million was hedged. The associated interest rate swaps were terminated on October 12, 2005, prior to the issuance of the related debt. These derivatives were initially recorded on the Balance Sheets at their fair value as AOCI. Deferred gains of $10.6 million in AOCI as of September 30, 2010 will continue to be amortized to interest expense over the term of the debt issued (November 2015.) The total amortization for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was $1.0 million in each period.

 

4. Commitments and Contingencies

Environmental. We are subject to various federal, state and local regulations regarding air and water quality, hazardous and solid waste disposals and other environmental matters. We believe there are no matters outstanding that upon resolution will have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

Litigation. We are involved in legal, tax and regulatory proceedings in various forums, including matters regarding contracts, performance and other matters, arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which may involve substantial monetary amounts. We have insurance for certain of these losses should they be incurred. We believe that the final disposition of these proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

5. New Accounting Pronouncement

The following new accounting pronouncement was adopted during the nine months ended September 30, 2010:

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an accounting standard which is intended to address (1) the effects on certain consolidation provisions as a result of the elimination of the concept of qualifying special-purpose entities and (2) constituent concerns about the application of certain consolidation provisions including those in which the accounting and disclosures do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprise’s involvement in a variable interest entity. The adoption of the provisions of this standard on January 1, 2010 did not have any impact on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows.

 

6. Subsequent Event

On November 30, 2010, Spectra Energy Partners acquired an additional 24.5% interest in us from a subsidiary of Spectra Energy, for a total ownership percentage of 49%.

EX-99.2 3 dex992.htm PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION Pro forma condensed consolidated financial information

EXHIBIT 99.2

PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

On November 30, 2010, Spectra Energy Partners, LP (Spectra Energy Partners) acquired an additional 24.5% interest in Gulfstream Natural Gas, LLC (Gulfstream) from a subsidiary of Spectra Energy Corp (Spectra Energy) for approximately $330 million in aggregate consideration. The consideration was comprised of approximately $66.0 million in newly issued units, the assumption of $7.4 million in debt owed to Spectra Energy Capital LLC, a subsidiary of Spectra Energy and $256.6 million in cash, which was funded through borrowings under Spectra Energy Partners’ credit facility. Following the acquisition, Spectra Energy Partners’ own a 49% interest in Gulfstream. The primary asset owned by Gulfstream is the approximately 745-mile Gulfstream Natural Gas System, which extends from Pascagolua, Mississippi and Mobile, Alabama across the Gulf of Mexico and into Florida.

Following the acquisition of Gulfstream, Spectra Energy Partners issued an underwritten public offering of 6,250,000 of its common units representing limited partner interests, which does not reflect any common units that may be sold to the underwriters upon exercise of their option to purchase additional common units. The net proceeds from this offering were approximately $201.4 million, including our general partner’s proportionate capital contribution after deducting the underwriting discount. The proceeds were used to repay the $7.4 million loan assumed in the Gulfstream acquisition. The remaining $189.8 million in net proceeds, (other than proceeds from our general partner’s proportionate capital contribution), was used to purchase qualifying investment grade securities, which were assigned as collateral to secure the new term loan of an approximately equal principal amount. The proceeds of the term loan were used to repay revolving borrowings, which were incurred to fund a portion of the consideration of the Gulfstream acquisition. The approximately $4.2 million in proceeds from our general partner’s proportionate capital contribution were used for general partnership purposes.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2009 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 have been prepared as if the acquisition, debt issuance and equity issuance had occurred on January 1, 2009 and January 1, 2010, respectively. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2010 has been prepared as if the acquisition and equity issuance had occurred on September 30, 2010.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information reflects pro forma adjustments that are described in the accompanying notes and are based upon available information and certain assumptions we believe are reasonable but are subject to change. In our opinion, all adjustments that are necessary to present fairly the pro forma information have been made. The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information does not purport to represent what Spectra Energy Partners’ results of operations would have been if the acquisition, debt issuance and equity issuance had occurred on January 1, 2009 or January 1, 2010 or what its financial position would have been if the acquisition, debt issuance and equity issuance had occurred on September 30, 2010 and are not necessarily indicative of Spectra Energy Partners’ operations going forward.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with Spectra Energy Partners’ historical financial statements and related notes filed in its 2009 Form 10-K and in its Form 10-Q for the periods ended March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010 and September 30, 2010.

(a) Reflects the interest income that would have been earned on the qualifying securities described in (e), using an estimated average return based on the current market and assuming these securities would have remained outstanding for the full period.

(b) Reflects interest expense that would have been incurred on new borrowings of $256.6 million ($68.5 million drawn on the existing revolving credit facility and $188.1 million issued on a new term loan). Both the revolving credit facility and new term loan bear interest based on the one-month London InterBank Offered Rate (LIBOR).

 

(c) Reflects issuance of 1.9 million units to Spectra Energy on November 30, 2010 as consideration in the Gulfstream acquisition and 6.3 million units issued in connection with the equity offering on December 2, 2010.

For purposes of this calculation, we assumed that (1) distributions would have been paid on all outstanding units based on the historically declared per-unit amount for each quarterly period in 2009 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, and (2) the additional limited partner units issued, as described above, have been outstanding since the beginning of each period presented.

(d) Reflects the acquisition of an additional 24.5% interest in Gulfstream.

 

  i.   $186.0 million increase in Spectra Energy Partners’ investment in Gulfstream recorded at Spectra Energy’s book value since the transaction represents a transaction between entities under common control;

 

  ii.   $7.4 million assumption of loan payable to a subsidiary of Spectra Energy;

 

  iii.   $256.6 million of borrowings under Spectra Energy Partners’ existing credit facility;

 

  iv.   issuance of 1,938,435 common units and 39,560 general partner units valued at $33.37 per unit, representing an aggregate value of approximately $66.0 million. The per unit value represents 97% of the volume weighted-average price of our common units calculated for the 20-business day period ended on November 23, 2010;

 

  v.   a reduction in partners’ capital resulting from the excess of the Gulfstream purchase price over the investment recorded in Gulfstream, and

 

  vi.   the proportional share of Gulfstream’s historical accumulated other comprehensive income of $2.6 million.

(e) Reflects the purchase of $189.8 million of qualifying investment grade securities using a portion of the proceeds from the equity offering. These securities are pledged as collateral for the borrowings under the new term loan as described in (g).

 

(f) Reflects the repayment of the $7.4 million loan with a subsidiary of Spectra Energy that was assumed as a portion of the consideration for the Gulfstream acquisition.

 

(g) Reflects proceeds from a new term loan of $188.1 million that was used to pay down the existing revolving credit facility, resulting in no net change in long-term debt. The new term loan is secured by investment grade securities as described in (e) and matures in July 2012.

 

(h) Reflects $201.4 million of net proceeds from the issuance of 6.3 million common units and 0.1 million of general partner units on December 2, 2010. The proceeds from the issuance of common units was used to repay the $7.4 million loan with a subsidiary of Spectra Energy as described in (f) and the remaining $189.8 million was used to purchase qualifying investment grade securities as described in (e). The proceeds of $4.2 million from the general partner units will be used for general partnership purposes.

As of September 30, 2010, no material transaction costs had been incurred for this acquisition. Spectra Energy Partners expects to incur approximately $0.7 million of costs associated with the acquisition of an additional 24.5% interest in Gulfstream over the twelve months subsequent to September 30, 2010.
