Exhibit 99.3
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. and subsidiaries (AmeriGas Partners) have been prepared to give effect to the January 12, 2012 acquisition by AmeriGas Partners (the Heritage Acquisition) of substantially all of the retail propane distribution businesses of Energy Transfer Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (ETP), comprising the operations of Heritage Operating, L.P. (HOLP) and Titan Energy Partners, L.P. (Titan, and, together with HOLP, Heritage Propane) and their respective general partners and subsidiaries, pursuant to a Contribution and Redemption Agreement, as amended, (the Contribution Agreement) between ETP, Energy Transfer Partners GP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and general partner of ETP (ETP GP), and Heritage ETC, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the Heritage Contributor), in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. In accordance with the Contribution Agreement, AmeriGas Partners acquired the partner interests in HOLP and Titan and their respective general partner interests and subsidiaries, in exchange for 29,567,362 AmeriGas Partners common units and a cash distribution to ETP of approximately $1.46 billion (subject to adjustments for working capital, cash and the amount of indebtedness of HOLP outstanding, in accordance with the Contribution Agreement). The limited partner interests of AmeriGas Partners are referred to herein as Common Units. AmeriGas Partners financed the cash distribution with the proceeds from the issuance of $1.55 billion face amount of senior notes issued by AmeriGas Partners finance subsidiaries, AmeriGas Finance, LLC and AmeriGas Finance Corp., which are unconditionally guaranteed by AmeriGas Partners.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements do not purport to represent what the results of operations or financial position of AmeriGas Partners would have been if the Heritage Acquisition had occurred on the dates indicated below, nor do they purport to project the results of operations or financial position of AmeriGas Partners for any future period or as of any future date. Under ASC 805, tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded at their estimated fair values. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements were prepared using the acquisition method of accounting with AmeriGas Partners as the acquirer. Accordingly, we have adjusted the historical financial statements to give effect to the impact of the estimated net purchase price in connection with the Heritage Acquisition. In the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet, AmeriGas Partners estimated net purchase price for Heritage Propane has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on a preliminary valuation of their fair values using currently available information which is subject to final adjustments. Because the fair values of the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired, less liabilities assumed, were less than the purchase price consideration for Heritage Propane, such difference has been reflected as goodwill. The estimated net purchase price, and the actual adjustments to be recorded in connection with the final purchase price allocation, may differ from the actual net purchase price and the pro forma adjustments reflected in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements and any such differences may be material.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2011 was prepared by combining the December 31, 2011 unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of AmeriGas Partners and the September 30, 2011 unaudited combined balance sheet of HOLP and Titan. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the three months ended December 31, 2011 was prepared by combining AmeriGas Partners condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2011 with unaudited condensed combined statement of operations data of HOLP and Titan for the three months ended September 30, 2011. Because the preparation and audit of the combined financial information for HOLP and Titan as of and for the their fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 have not yet been completed, combined financial information for HOLP and Titan as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2011 is not available. Accordingly, the Pro Forma financial information of AmeriGas Partners as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2011 reflects unaudited combined financial information for HOLP and Titan as of and for the three months ended September 30, 2011. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended September 30, 2011 was prepared by combining AmeriGas Partners audited consolidated statement of operations for the year ended September 30, 2011 with HOLP and Titans unaudited condensed combined statement of operations for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and the year ended September 30, 2011 give effect to the Heritage Acquisition as if it occurred on October 1, 2010. The estimated pro forma adjustments only give effect to events that are (1) directly attributable to the Heritage Acquisition; (2) factually supportable; and (3) with respect to the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations, are expected to have a continuing effect on the combined results. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations do not give effect to any potential cost savings or other operating efficiencies that are expected to result from the integration of Heritage Propane with the operations of AmeriGas Partners or the integration costs expected to be incurred in connection therewith. The historical results of operations of HOLP and Titan include an allocation to Heritage Propane of corporate charges by ETP. Such allocation will be terminated following the Heritage Acquisition, but will be replaced by an allocation of UGI Corporations (UGI) corporate charges. We expect that such UGI charges are not likely to be greater than the amount recorded on a historical basis in HOLP and Titans financial statements.
AmeriGas Partners historical amounts for the year ended September 30, 2011 were derived from the audited financial statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by AmeriGas Partners on November 21, 2011 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). AmeriGas Partners historical amounts as of and for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were derived from the unaudited financial statements in the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by AmeriGas Partners on February 3, 2012 with the SEC.
HOLP and Titans historical unaudited condensed combined balance sheet amounts as of September 30, 2011 were derived from the Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet of HOLP and Titan included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 4, 2012 (the Prior Form 8-K). The unaudited statement of operations data of HOLP and Titan for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011 was derived by combining data in the HOLP and Titan Unaudited Combined Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 with data in the HOLP and Titan Audited Combined Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2010, and excluding data in the HOLP and Titan Unaudited Combined Statement of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. These Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements of HOLP and Titan were included in our Prior Form 8-K.

You should read the following Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements in conjunction with the combined statements of HOLP and Titan, previously filed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on January 4, 2012, along with AmeriGas Partners financial statements and accompanying notes included in its prior SEC filings.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED
COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(thousands of dollars, except per unit data)
Note 1. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. and subsidiaries (AmeriGas Partners) have been prepared to give effect to the January 12, 2012 acquisition by AmeriGas Partners (the Heritage Acquisition) of substantially all of the retail propane distribution businesses of Energy Transfer Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (ETP), comprising substantially all of the operations of Heritage Operating, L.P. (HOLP) and Titan Energy Partners, L.P. (Titan, and, together with HOLP, Heritage Propane) and their respective general partners and subsidiaries, pursuant to a Contribution and Redemption Agreement, as amended (the Contribution Agreement), between ETP, Energy Transfer Partners GP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and general partner of ETP, and Heritage ETC, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the Heritage Contributor), in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805, Business Combinations. In accordance with the Contribution Agreement, AmeriGas Partners acquired the partner interests in HOLP and Titan and their related general partners and subsidiaries, in exchange for 29,567,362 AmeriGas Partners Common Units and a cash distribution to ETP of $1,460,000 (subject to adjustments for working capital, cash and the amount of indebtedness of HOLP outstanding, in accordance with the Contribution Agreement). It has been assumed for purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet that the Heritage Acquisition occurred as of December 31, 2011, and for purposes of the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Operations that the Heritage Acquisition occurred as of October 1, 2010.
In addition, immediately prior to the consummation of the Heritage Acquisition, HOLP transferred its interests in the net assets of HOLPs cylinder exchange business (HPX) to Heritage Express Propane, LLC (HEP), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ETP (see Note 3). References to Heritage Propane herein exclude the HPX net assets. AmeriGas Partners financed the cash distribution to ETP in connection with the Heritage Acquisition with proceeds from the issuance of $550,000 face value of 6.75% senior notes due 2020 and $1,000,000 face value of 7.00% senior notes due 2022 issued by AmeriGas Partners finance subsidiaries, AmeriGas Finance, LLC and AmeriGas Finance Corp. and unconditionally guaranteed by AmeriGas Partners (AmeriGas Partners Senior Notes).
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements of AmeriGas Partners, L.P. also reflect the contribution by AmeriGas Propane, Inc. (AmeriGas GP), the general partner of AmeriGas Partners and its operating subsidiary, AmeriGas Propane, L.P. (AmeriGas OLP), of a combined 934,327 AmeriGas Partners Common Units held by AmeriGas GP, in order to maintain its 1% general partner interest in AmeriGas Partners and its 1.01% general partner interest in AmeriGas OLP, as a result of the Heritage Acquisition and subsequent contribution by AmeriGas Partners of the partnership interests in HOLP and Titan to AmeriGas OLP.
The purchase price for Heritage Propane assumed in the Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet at December 31, 2011, is as follows:
Purchase price: |

Cash |
$ | 1,460,000 | ||

In addition to adjustments for working capital, cash and indebtedness, the preliminary purchase price allocation has not been finalized because we are still in the process of reviewing and determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed which includes, among other things, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements do not give effect to any potential cost savings or operational efficiencies expected to result from the Heritage Acquisition or integration costs related thereto. The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of the operating results or financial position that would have occurred had the Heritage Acquisition been completed as of the dates indicated, nor are they necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial position. The purchase accounting adjustments made in connection with the Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Statements are preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of developing the pro forma financial information.
Note 2. These columns represent the historical financial position and results of operations of AmeriGas Partners, HOLP and Titan. AmeriGas Partners unaudited balance sheet at December 31, 2011 and statement of operations data for the three months ended December 31, 2011 were derived from the financial statements included in AmeriGas Partners Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three month period ended December 31, 2011, filed with the SEC on February 3, 2012. The HOLP and Titan unaudited combined balance sheet at September 30, 2011 and statement of operations data for the three months ended September 30, 2011 were derived from unaudited combined financial statements incorporated by reference herein.
AmeriGas Partners unaudited consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 was derived from information provided in AmeriGas Partners Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 21, 2011. The unaudited combined statement of operations of HOLP and Titan for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011 was derived by combining data in the audited combined statement of operations of HOLP and Titan for the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 with data in the unaudited combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, and subtracting data in the unaudited combined statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2010, each of which are incorporated by reference herein.
Note 3. Reflects pro forma adjustments to eliminate the assets and liabilities of HPX, and certain accounts receivable and accounts payable with ETP and its affiliates not acquired or assumed. Immediately prior to the consummation of the Heritage Acquisition, the Heritage Contributor caused HOLP to transfer all of HOLPs title and interest in the net assets of HPX to HEP, and HEP will use its best efforts to sell the HPX business to a third-party. To the extent gross proceeds of the sale of HPX exceed $40,000, AmeriGas Partners will receive a share of such excess upon the closing of the sale of HPX and, to the extent such gross proceeds from the sale of HPX are less than $40,000, AmeriGas Partners will pay Heritage Contributor an amount equal to the shortfall. The Unaudited Condensed Combined Pro Forma Financial Statements do not reflect any adjustment to the purchase price associated with any excess or shortfall in gross proceeds from the sale of HPX.
The Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations do not reflect any adjustment associated with HPX because any adjustment would not be material.
