NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies for both utility and diversified operations include:

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated condensed financial statements include the accounts of TECO Energy, Inc., its majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, and the accounts of variable interest entities for which it is the primary beneficiary (TECO Energy or the company). All significant intercompany balances and intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Generally, the equity method of accounting is used to account for investments in partnerships or other arrangements in which TECO Energy does not have majority ownership or exercise control. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include all adjustments that are of a recurring nature and necessary to state fairly the financial position of TECO Energy, Inc. and subsidiaries as of Jun. 30, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the periods ended Jun. 30, 2006 and 2005. The results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended Jun. 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2006.

The use of estimates is inherent in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenues and Fuel Costs

As of Jun. 30, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005, unbilled revenues of $52.7 million and $52.3 million, respectively, are included in the “Receivables” line item on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Other Income and Minority Interest

TECO Energy earns a significant portion of its income indirectly through the synthetic fuel operations at TECO Coal. At Jun. 30, 2006 and 2005, TECO Coal had sold ownership interests in the synthetic fuel facilities to unrelated third-party investors equal to 98% and 90%, respectively. However, during the first half of 2005, TECO Coal allocated an additional 8% of the benefits associated with the synthetic fuel facilities to a third-party investor such that 98% of the six-month 2005 benefits went to third parties. These investors pay for the purchase of the ownership interests as synthetic fuel is produced. The payments are based on the amount of production and sales of synthetic fuel and the related, underlying value of the tax credit, which is subject to limitation based on the price of domestic crude oil. These payments are recorded in “Other Income” in the Consolidated Condensed Income Statement and comprise the majority of that line item.

Additionally, the outside investors make payments towards the cost of producing synthetic fuel. These payments are reflected as a benefit under “Minority Interest” in the Consolidated Condensed Income Statement, and these benefits comprise the majority of that line item.

For the six-month period ended Jun. 30, 2006, “Other Income” reflected a phase-out of approximately 63% of the benefit of the underlying value of any 2006 tax credits based on an internal estimate of the average annual price of domestic crude oil during 2006. Should future estimates of the average annual price of domestic crude oil be different than this estimate, the cash payments and the benefits recognized in “Other Income” and “Minority Interest” will be adjusted, either positively or negatively, throughout the year. For the same period in 2005, no phase-out of the benefit was recognized. See Note 16, Subsequent Events, for more information on the idling of synthetic fuel production.

Purchased Power

Tampa Electric purchases power on a regular basis to meet the needs of its customers. Tampa Electric purchased power from entities not affiliated with TECO Energy at a cost of $55.8 million and $90.3 million, respectively, for the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2006, compared to $44.9 million and $85.8 million, respectively, for the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2005. Prudently incurred purchased power costs at Tampa Electric are recoverable through Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC)-approved cost recovery clauses.

Accounting for Franchise Fees and Gross Receipts

The regulated utilities (Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas) are allowed to recover from customers certain costs, including franchisee fees and gross receipts taxes, through prices approved by the FPSC. These amounts totaled $25.4 million and $50.8 million, respectively, for the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2006, compared to $20.6 million and $41.3 million, respectively, for the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2005. Franchise fees and gross receipt taxes payable by the regulated utilities are included as an expense on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income in “Taxes, other than income.” These totaled $25.3 million and $50.7 million, respectively, for the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2006, compared to $20.5 million and $41.1 million, respectively, for the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2005.

Stock-Based Compensation

Effective Jan. 1, 2006, TECO Energy accounts for its stock-based compensation in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (FAS 123R). Under the provisions of FAS 123R, share-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the calculated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee’s or director’s requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant). Prior to this, the company accounted for its share-based payments under Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees and its related interpretations and the disclosure requirements of FAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, as amended by FAS 148, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation – Transition and Disclosure. The company elected to adopt the modified-prospective transition method as provided under FAS 123R and, accordingly, results for prior periods have not been restated. See Note 8, Stock-Based Compensation, for more information on share-based payments.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes

In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return, and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after Dec. 15, 2006. The company does not believe implementation will be material to its results of operations, statement of position or cash flows.

Amendment to Derivatives Accounting

In February 2006, the FASB issued FAS 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, which amends FAS 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and FAS 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. FAS 155 simplifies the accounting for certain derivatives embedded in other financial instruments by permitting fair value re-measurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after Sep. 15, 2006 and is not expected to materially impact the company.

Proposed Statement on Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans

In March 2006, the FASB issued the exposure draft, Employer’s Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106 and 123(R). This proposed statement of financial accounting standards would require the recognition in the statement of financial position the over-funded or under-funded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan, measured as the difference between the fair value of plan assets and the benefit obligation in the case of a defined benefit plan, or the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation in the case of other postretirement benefit plans. Compared to the current recognition of pension and other postretirement obligations on the balance sheet, this proposed standard would require recognition of: 1) the impact of future salary increases to the pension obligation and 2) the unamortized post-retirement benefit costs that are currently being expensed over the service lives of the participants. This proposed standard would also require recognition in other comprehensive income certain benefit cost components that are not part of net periodic benefit cost, and that the defined benefit plan assets and obligations be measured as of the balance sheet date. While the company must wait for the standard to be finalized to confirm the exact impact, the company estimates that this proposed standard, using the plan assets and obligations reported as of Dec. 31, 2005, would increase benefit liabilities on the balance sheet by approximately $130 million and accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of estimated tax benefits, by approximately $82 million. The comment period on this exposure draft ended May 31, 2006; the FASB has indicated that it intends to issue a final standard in September 2006 with an effective date for fiscal years ending after Dec. 15, 2006.

Determining the Variability of Variable Interest Entities

In April 2006, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) FIN 46(R)-6, Determining the Variability to Be Considered in Applying FASB Interpretation No. 46(R). In the FSP, the FASB addresses how a reporting enterprise should determine the variability to be considered in applying FASB Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities. The FASB describes a number of risks that should be considered as well as the purpose for which the entities were created, in order to determine the variability of these entities. This guidance is required to be applied prospectively beginning on the first day of the first reporting period beginning after Jun. 15, 2006 and is not expected to materially impact the company.

3. Regulatory

Cost Recovery – Tampa Electric

Tampa Electric recovers the cost of fuel, purchased power, eligible environmental expenditures, and conservation through cost recovery clauses that are adjusted on an annual basis. As part of the regulatory process, it is reasonably likely that third parties may intervene in various matters related to fuel, purchased power, environmental and conservation cost recovery.

SO2 Emission Allowances

The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 established SO2 allowances to manage the achievement of SO2 emissions requirements. The legislation also established a market-based SO2 allowance trading component.

An allowance authorizes a utility to emit one ton of SO2 during a given year. The EPA allocates allowances to utilities based on mandated emissions reductions. At the end of each year, a utility must hold an amount of allowances at least equal to its annual emissions. Allowances are fully marketable and, once allocated, may be bought, sold, traded or banked for use in future years. In addition, the EPA withholds a small percentage of the annual SO2 allowances it allocates to utilities for auction sales. Any resulting auction proceeds are then forwarded to the respective utilities. Allowances may not be used for compliance prior to the calendar year for which they are allocated. Tampa Electric accounts for these using an inventory model with a zero basis for those allowances allocated to the company. Tampa Electric recognizes a gain at the time of sale, approximately 95% of which accrues to retail customers through the environmental cost recovery clause.

Over the years, Tampa Electric has acquired allowances through EPA allocations. Also, over time, Tampa Electric has sold unneeded allowances based on compliance needs and allowances available. The SO2 allowances unneeded and sold in 2006 resulted from lower emissions at Tampa Electric brought about by environmental actions taken by the company under the Clean Air Act.

In January 2006, Tampa Electric sold approximately 40,000 allowances, resulting in proceeds of $40.8 million, the majority of which is included as a cost recovery clause regulatory liability as of Jun. 30, 2006. There were no allowances sold and auction proceeds were immaterial during the quarter ended Jun. 30, 2006. Allowance sales and proceeds during the first two quarters of 2005 were not material.

Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

Tampa Electric and PGS maintain their accounts in accordance with recognized policies of the FPSC. In addition, Tampa Electric maintains its accounts in accordance with recognized policies prescribed or permitted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). These policies conform with GAAP in all material respects except for the reclassification of “Accumulated cost of removal”.

Tampa Electric and PGS apply the accounting treatment permitted by FAS No. 71, Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation. Areas of applicability include deferral of revenues under approved regulatory agreements; revenue recognition resulting from cost recovery clauses that provide for monthly billing charges to reflect increases or decreases in fuel, purchased power, conservation and environmental costs; and deferral of costs as regulatory assets, when cost recovery is ordered over a period longer than a fiscal year, to the period that the regulatory agency recognizes them. Details of the regulatory assets and liabilities as of Jun. 30, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005 are presented in the following table:

4. Income Tax Expense

During the six months ended Jun. 30, 2006 and 2005, the company experienced a number of events that impacted the overall effective tax rate on continuing operations. These events included the following: permanent reinvestment of foreign income under APB Opinion No. 23, Accounting for Taxes – Special Areas (APB 23); adjustment of deferred tax assets for the effect of an enacted change in state rates; depletion; repatriation of foreign source income to the United States, and the reduction of income tax expense under the new “tonnage tax” regime.

On Oct. 22, 2004, the President signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the “Act”). The Act created Code Section 965, which provides a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85% dividend received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations. The company elected to apply Code Section 965 to a portion of its 2005 cash dividends from TECO Guatemala.

Code Section 248 of the Act also introduced a new “tonnage tax”, which allows corporations to elect to exclude from gross income certain income from activities connected with the operation of a U.S. flag vessel in U.S. foreign trade and instead become subject to a tax imposed on the per-ton weight of the qualified vessel. The company has elected to apply Code Section 248 with respect to qualified vessels in 2006 and 2005.

5. Employee Postretirement Benefits

For the fiscal 2006 plan year, TECO Energy assumed an expected long-term return on plan assets of 8.5% and a discount rate of 5.5% at its Sep. 30, 2005 measurement date. The company’s policy is to fund the pension plan based on the amount determined by the company’s actuaries within the guidelines set by ERISA. In January 2006, the company contributed $6.3 million to the pension plan. Although the company has not expressed the intent to make additional contributions to the pension plan in 2006, it may elect to make such additional contributions within the ERISA guidelines.

6. Short-Term Debt

At Jun. 30, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005, the following credit facilities and related borrowings existed:

Tampa Electric Company Accounts Receivable Facility

On Jan. 5, 2006, Tampa Electric and TEC Receivables Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tampa Electric Company, extended the maturity of Tampa Electric’s $150 million accounts receivable securitized borrowing facility from Jan. 5, 2006 to Jan. 4, 2007.

7. Long-Term Debt

Issuance of Tampa Electric Company 6.55% Notes due 2036

On May 12, 2006, Tampa Electric Company issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of 6.55% Notes due May 15, 2036. The 6.55% Notes were sold at 99.375% of par to yield 6.598%. The offering resulted in net proceeds to Tampa Electric Company (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses) of approximately $246.0 million. Net proceeds were used to repay short-term debt and for general corporate purposes. Tampa Electric Company may redeem all or any part of the 6.55% Notes at its option at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of 6.55% Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the present value of the remaining payments of principal and interest on the 6.55% Notes to be redeemed, discounted at an applicable treasury rate (as defined in the applicable indenture), plus 25 basis points; in either case, the redemption price would include accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

8. Stock-Based Compensation

On Jan. 1, 2006, TECO Energy adopted FAS 123R, requiring the company to recognize expense related to the fair value of its stock-based compensation awards. Prior to this, the company accounted for its share-based payments under APB 25 and related interpretations. The company adopted FAS 123R using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized beginning Jan. 1, 2006, includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet vested as of, Dec. 31, 2005 (based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of FAS 123), and compensation cost for all share-based payments granted on or after Jan. 1, 2006 (based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of FAS 123R). Results for prior periods have not been restated.

TECO Energy has two share-based compensation plans (the Equity Plan and the Director Equity Plan), which are described below. The types of awards granted under these Plans include stock options, stock grants, time-vested restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock. Stock options are granted with an exercise price greater than or equal to the fair value on the date of grant and have a 10-year contractual term. Stock options for the Director Equity Plan vest immediately and stock options for the Equity Plan have graded vesting over a three-year period, with the first 33% becoming exercisable one year after the date of grant. Stock grants and time-vested restricted stock are granted at a price equal to the fair value on the date of grant, with expense recognized over the vesting period, which is normally three years. Performance-based restricted stock is granted at a price equal to the fair value on the date of grant, with shares vesting after three years at 0% to 200% of the original grant, based on the total return of TECO Energy common stock compared to a peer group of utility stocks. Dividends are paid on all time-vested and performance-based restricted stock awards.

TECO Energy recognized total stock compensation expense for the three months ended Jun. 30, 2006 of $4.3 million pretax, or $2.6 million after-tax and, for the six months ended Jun. 30, 2006 of $7.0 million pretax, or $4.3 million after-tax. For the six months ended Jun. 30, 2006, cash received from option exercises under all share-based payment arrangements was $1.1 million and the aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised was $0.4 million. The total fair value of awards vesting during the six months ending Jun. 30, 2006 was $4.6 million, which includes stock grants, time-vested restricted stock and performance-based restricted stock. As of Jun. 30, 2006, there was $15.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to all non-vested awards that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of two years. Prior to the adoption of FAS 123R, TECO Energy presented all tax benefits of deductions resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the Consolidated Condensed Statement of Cash Flows. Beginning on Jan. 1, 2006, the company changed its cash flow presentation in accordance with FAS 123R, which requires the cash flows resulting from excess tax deductions on share-based payments to be classified as financing cash flows.

Previously under APB 25, the company recognized or disclosed expenses for retirement-eligible employees over the nominal vesting period. Beginning Jan. 1, 2006 under FAS 123R, any new awards made to retirement-eligible employees are recognized immediately or over the period from the grant date to the date of retirement eligibility (non-substantive approach). The impact on net income for the six months ended Jun. 30, 2006 and 2005 of applying the nominal vesting period approach versus the non-substantive vesting period approach to awards granted prior to Jan. 1 2006, for retirement-eligible employees would not have been material.

The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, and the company uses the following methods to determine its underlying assumptions: expected volatilities based on the historical volatilities; the expected term of options granted based on the Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107) simplified method of averaging the vesting term and the original contractual term; the risk-free interest rate based on the U.S. Treasury implied yield on zero-coupon issues (with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the option), and the expected dividend yield based on the current annual dividend amount divided by the stock price on the date of grant.

Table of Contents

The fair value of performance-based restricted stock awards is determined using the Monte-Carlo valuation model and the company uses the following methods to determine its underlying assumptions: expected volatilities based on the historical volatilities; the expected term of the awards based on the performance measurement period (which is generally three years); the risk-free interest rate based on the U.S. Treasury implied yield on zero-coupon issues (with a remaining term equal to the expected term of the award); and the expected dividend yield based on the current annual dividend amount divided by the stock price on the date of grant, with continuous compounding.

The value of time-vested restricted stock and stock grants are based on the fair market value of TECO Energy common stock at the time of grant.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share as if the company had applied the fair-value recognition provisions of FAS 123 to all share-based payments, prior to the adoption of FAS 123R.

Equity Plans

In April 2004, the company’s shareholders approved the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (2004 Plan). The 2004 Plan superseded the 1996 Equity Incentive Plan (1996 Plan), and no additional grants will be made under the 1996 Plan. Under the 2004 Plan, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may award stock grants, stock options and/or stock equivalents to officers, key employees and consultants of TECO Energy and its subsidiaries. The Compensation Committee has discretion to determine the terms and conditions of each award, which may be subject to conditions relating to continued employment, restrictions on transfer or performance criteria.

Under the 2004 Plan and the 1996 Plan (collectively referred to as the “Equity Plans”), 455,582 shares of restricted stock were granted and 17,962 unrestricted shares of stock were granted with weighted average fair values of $16.84 and $17.54, respectively, during the six months ended Jun. 30, 2006. In addition, options to purchase 1.1 million shares were granted to employees during the six months ended Jun. 30, 2006, with a weighted average fair value of $3.26. A summary of nonvested shares of restricted stock and stock options during the six months ended Jun. 30, 2006 under the Equity Plans are shown as follows:

Director Equity Plan

In April 1997, the company’s shareholders approved the 1997 Director Equity Plan (1997 Plan), as an amendment and restatement of the 1991 Director Stock Option Plan (1991 Plan). The 1997 Plan superseded the 1991 Plan, and no additional grants will be made under the 1991 Plan. The purpose of the 1997 Plan is to attract and retain highly qualified non-employee directors of the company and to encourage them to own shares of TECO Energy common stock. The 1997 Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, and awards may include stock grants, stock options and/or stock equivalents.

Under the 1997 Plan, 25,000 shares of restricted stock were awarded for the six month period ended Jun. 30, 2006, with a weighted average fair value of $16.30. Restricted stock transactions for the six months ended Jun. 30, 2006 under the 1997 Plan are summarized as follows:

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Contingencies

At Jun. 30, 2006, the ultimate resolution of the following specific proceedings is uncertain and no liability has been reserved or can be estimated. At this time, the ultimate outcome of these proceedings is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Tampa Electric Transmission Litigation

The Shaw, Acosta and Alvarez cases, the three pending cases related to the location of the “Juneau Loop” 95-foot and 125-foot transmission structures and upgrades to the existing substation located in or near the Egypt Lake subdivision, in Tampa, FL, remain in various stages of activity. The Shaw case is currently set for trial the week of Sep. 11, 2006. The court granted summary judgment in favor of the company on the issue of the availability of injunctive relief as a remedy. The plaintiffs have appealed this summary judgment; the appeal has been fully briefed by both sides, and the appeal remains pending before the Second District Court of Appeal (2nd DCA).

The Acosta plaintiffs are again seeking class-action status and have also moved to add other plaintiffs (other than the Alvarez’) with substation-related claims to the case. These motions remain pending before the court. There is no current activity in the Alvarez (substation) case.

Grupo Litigation and Arbitration

Summary Judgment in the U.S. Grupo case was granted in October 2004 (U.S. Case). Grupo appealed, the appeal was denied and the judgment became final in December 2005. After obtaining the first partial summary judgment in the U.S. Case on Aug. 30, 2004, the Colombian trade union, Sindicato de Trabajadores de la Electricidad de Colombia (the Union), which would have been the owner/lessor of the power plant if the transaction had been consummated, filed a demand for arbitration in Colombia pursuant to provisions of a confidentiality and exclusivity agreement (the confidentiality agreement) between the Union and an indirect subsidiary of TECO Wholesale Generation, TPS International Power, Inc. (TPSI), alleging breach of contract or failure to act in good faith and seeking damages of approximately $50 million. The testimony phase of the proceeding closed in February 2006. Damage experts, appointed by the Tribunal addressing the useful life of the facility and valuation of the project based on loss of opportunity, submitted their reports in February and March. Each party submitted its own expert report with the areas of disagreement primarily focused on the useful life and the proper methodology.

Table of Contents

Closing arguments along with final written submittals were held on Jul. 14, 2006. The final decision is expected to be rendered on Aug. 11, 2006.

Class Action Lawsuit & Derivative Suit

Class Action

After the consolidated Class Action Complaint brought by the “TECO Lead Plaintiff Group” was dismissed without prejudice on Mar. 31, 2006, the plaintiffs filed their further amended complaint to which TECO Energy and the defendants filed their motion to dismiss on Jul. 7, 2006, based on failure to plead loss causation as raised in the prior motion. The plaintiffs filed their response to the motion to dismiss on Jul. 21, 2006. The local rule contemplates a ruling within sixty (60) days.

Derivative Suit

Subsequent to the Hillsborough Circuit Court’s dismissal without prejudice of the derivative complaint that had been filed against several officers and directors in state court in connection with their alleged actions during the same period that is the subject of the class action suit, on Apr. 5, 2006, the parties stipulated to the dismissal with prejudice of directors Penn and Whiting. The plaintiffs may not re-file their complaint until the district court takes action on defendant’s motion to dismiss. The defendants will provide the Court with periodic reports of the Special Litigation Committee’s activities focused only on the status of the class action commencing Aug. 1, 2006.

Other Issues

From time to time TECO Energy and its subsidiaries are involved in various other legal, tax and regulatory proceedings before various courts, regulatory commissions and governmental agencies in the ordinary course of its business. Where appropriate, accruals are made in accordance with FAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, to provide for matters that are probable of resulting in an estimable, material loss. While the outcome of such proceedings is uncertain, management does not believe that their ultimate resolution will have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Superfund and Former Manufactured Gas Plant Sites

Tampa Electric Company, through its Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas divisions, is a potentially responsible party (PRP) for certain superfund sites and, through its Peoples Gas division, for certain former manufactured gas plant sites. While the joint and several liability associated with these sites presents the potential for significant response costs, as of Jun. 30, 2006, Tampa Electric Company has estimated its ultimate financial liability to be approximately $13.9 million, and this amount has been accrued in the company’s financial statements. The environmental remediation costs associated with these sites, which are expected to be paid over many years, are not expected to have a significant impact on customer prices.

The estimated amounts represent only the estimated portion of the cleanup costs attributable to Tampa Electric Company. The estimates to perform the work are based on actual estimates obtained from contractors, or Tampa Electric Company’s experience with similar work adjusted for site specific conditions and agreements with the respective governmental agencies. The estimates are made in current dollars, are not discounted and do not assume any insurance recoveries.

Allocation of the responsibility for remediation costs among Tampa Electric Company and other PRPs is based on each party’s relative ownership interest in or usage of a site. Accordingly, Tampa Electric Company’s share of remediation costs varies with each site. In virtually all instances where other PRPs are involved, those PRPs are considered creditworthy.

Factors that could impact these estimates include the ability of other PRPs to pay their pro-rata portion of the cleanup costs, additional testing and investigation which could expand the scope of the cleanup activities, additional liability that might arise from the cleanup activities themselves or changes in laws or regulations that could require additional remediation. These costs are recoverable through customer rates established in subsequent base rate proceedings.

14. Derivatives and Hedging

At Jun. 30, 2006, TECO Energy and its affiliates had total derivative assets and liabilities (current and non-current) of $15.2 million and $40.1 million, respectively, compared to total derivative assets and liabilities (current and non-current) of $68.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively, at Dec. 31, 2005. At Jun. 30, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005, accumulated other comprehensive income (AOCI) included after-tax gains of $1.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, representing the fair value of cash flow hedges whose transactions will occur in the future. Amounts recorded in AOCI reflect the estimated fair value of derivative instruments designated as hedges, based on market prices as of the balance sheet date. These amounts are expected to fluctuate with movements in market prices and may or may not be realized as a gain upon future reclassification from AOCI.

For the three months ended Jun. 30, 2006, TECO Energy and its affiliates reclassified amounts from AOCI and recognized net pretax gains of $0.3 million, compared to net pretax gains of $0.5 million and $3.6 million, respectively, for the first and second quarters in 2005. There were no reclassifications from AOCI for recognized gains and losses for the three months ended Mar. 31, 2006. Amounts reclassified from AOCI were primarily related to cash flow hedges of physical purchases of fuel oil. For these types of hedge relationships, the loss on the derivative reclassified from AOCI to earnings is offset by the reduced expense arising from lower prices paid for spot purchases of fuel oil. Conversely, reclassification of a gain from AOCI to earnings is offset by the increased cost of spot purchases of natural gas and fuel oil.

As a result of applying the provisions of FAS 71, the changes in value of derivatives of Tampa Electric and PGS are recorded as regulatory assets or liabilities to reflect the impact of the fuel recovery clause on the risks of hedging activities (see Note 3, Regulatory). Based on the fair value of cash flow hedges at Jun. 30, 2006, net pretax losses of $39.3 million are expected to be reclassified from regulatory assets or liabilities, and pretax gains of $1.4 million are expected to be reversed from AOCI, to the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income, within the next twelve months. However, these gains and other future reclassifications from regulatory assets and AOCI will fluctuate with movements in the underlying market price of the derivative instruments. The company does not currently have any cash flow hedges for transactions forecasted to take place in periods subsequent to 2008.

For the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2006, the company also recognized pretax gains of $5.2 million and $7.7 million, respectively, relating to derivatives that were not designated as either a cash flow or fair value hedge, compared to pretax losses of $(1.8) million and $(3.6) million for the three months and six months ended Jun. 30 2005, respectively.

15. Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions

Sale of TPS McAdams, LLC

On Jun. 23, 2006, TPS McAdams, LLC, an indirect subsidiary of TECO Energy, Inc., was sold to Von Boyett Corporation for $1.2 million in cash. This long-lived asset had been impaired in 2004 to an estimate of salvage value, which included allowances for potential future site restoration costs. In the first quarter of 2006, TPS McAdams, LLC sold the combustion turbines at the site to Tampa Electric Company at the book value contemplated in the salvage estimate. The sale and transfer of TPS McAdams, LLC, including its remaining assets and any potential site restoration costs at terms better than contemplated in the salvage estimate, resulted in a pretax gain $10.7 million ($8.1 million after-tax) being recognized in continuing operations.

16. Subsequent Events

In late July 2006, an affiliate of TECO Coal, Pike Letcher Synfuel LLC, idled its synthetic fuel production facilities. This occurred as a result of high year-to-date 2006 oil prices and the prospect for continued high prices for the remainder of 2006, as indicated by oil futures prices. The decision to idle the facilities was in accordance with agreements in place with the third-party investors in Pike Letcher Synfuel LLC.

Synthetic fuel production may be resumed if oil prices moderate to a level that increases expectations that the production of synthetic fuel will be economic or if possible federal legislation is enacted that would modify the method of calculating the oil price phase-out range for 2006.

TAMPA ELECTRIC COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

UNAUDITED

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies are as follows:

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

Tampa Electric Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TECO Energy, Inc., and is comprised of the Electric division, generally referred to as Tampa Electric, and the Natural Gas division, generally referred to as Peoples Gas System (PGS). All significant intercompany balances and intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements include all adjustments that are of a recurring nature and necessary to state fairly the financial position of Tampa Electric Company and subsidiaries as of Jun. 30, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005, and the results of their operations and cash flows for the periods ended Jun. 30, 2006 and 2005. The results of operations for the three month and six month periods ended Jun. 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be expected for the entire fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2006.

The use of estimates is inherent in the preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Actual results could differ from these estimates

Revenues and Fuel Costs

As of Jun. 30, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005, unbilled revenues of $52.7 million and $52.3 million, respectively, are included in the “Receivables” line item on the Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets.

Purchased Power

Tampa Electric purchases power on a regular basis to meet the needs of its customers. Tampa Electric purchased power from entities not affiliated with TECO Energy at a cost of $55.8 million and $90.3 million, respectively, for the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2006, compared to $44.9 million and $85.8 million, respectively, for the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2005. Prudently incurred purchased power costs at Tampa Electric are recoverable through Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC)-approved cost recovery clauses.

Accounting for Franchise Fees and Gross Receipts

The regulated utilities (Tampa Electric and PGS) are allowed to recover from customers certain costs, including franchisee fees and gross receipts taxes, through prices approved by the FPSC. These amounts totaled $25.4 million and $50.8 million, respectively, for the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2006, compared to $20.6 million and $41.3 million, respectively, for the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2005. Franchise fees and gross receipt taxes payable by the regulated utilities are included as an expense on the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income in “Taxes, other than income.” These totaled $25.3 million and $50.7 million, respectively, for the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2006, compared to $20.5 million and $41.1 million, respectively, for the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2005.

2. Regulatory

Cost Recovery – Tampa Electric

Tampa Electric recovers the cost of fuel, purchased power, eligible environmental expenditures, and conservation through cost recovery clauses that are adjusted on an annual basis. As part of the regulatory process, it is reasonably likely that third parties may intervene in various matters related to fuel, purchased power, environmental and conservation cost recovery.

SO2 Emission Allowances

The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 established SO2 allowances to manage the achievement of SO2 emissions requirements. The legislation also established a market-based SO2 allowance trading component.

An allowance authorizes a utility to emit one ton of SO2 during a given year. The EPA allocates allowances to utilities based on mandated emissions reductions. At the end of each year, a utility must hold an amount of allowances at least equal to its annual emissions. Allowances are fully marketable and, once allocated, may be bought, sold, traded or banked for use in future years. In addition, the EPA withholds a small percentage of the annual SO2 allowances it allocates to utilities for auction sales. Any resulting auction proceeds are then forwarded to the respective utilities. Allowances may not be used for compliance prior to the calendar year for which they are allocated. Tampa Electric accounts for these using an inventory model with a zero basis for those allowances allocated to the company. Tampa Electric recognizes a gain at the time of sale, approximately 95% of which accrues to retail customers through the environmental cost recovery clause.

Over the years, Tampa Electric has acquired allowances through EPA allocations. Also, over time, Tampa Electric has sold unneeded allowances based on compliance needs and allowances available. The SO2 allowances unneeded and sold in 2006 resulted from lower emissions at Tampa Electric brought about by environmental actions taken by the company under the Clean Air Act.

 

31


Table of Contents

In January 2006, Tampa Electric sold approximately 40,000 allowances, resulting in proceeds of $40.8 million, the majority of which is included as a cost recovery clause regulatory liability as of Jun. 30, 2006. There were no allowances sold and auction proceeds were immaterial during the quarter ended Jun. 30, 2006. Allowance sales and proceeds during the first two quarters of 2005 were not material.

Regulatory Assets and Liabilities

Tampa Electric and PGS maintain their accounts in accordance with recognized policies of the FPSC. In addition, Tampa Electric maintains its accounts in accordance with recognized policies prescribed or permitted by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). These policies conform with GAAP in all material respects except for the reclassification of “Accumulated cost of removal”.

Tampa Electric and PGS apply the accounting treatment permitted by Financial Accounting Stantards Board (FASB) Statement No. 71, Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation. Areas of applicability include deferral of revenues under approved regulatory agreements; revenue recognition resulting from cost recovery clauses that provide for monthly billing charges to reflect increases or decreases in fuel, purchased power, conservation and environmental costs; and deferral of costs as regulatory assets, when cost recovery is ordered over a period longer than a fiscal year, to the period that the regulatory agency recognizes them. Details of the regulatory assets and liabilities as of Jun. 30, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005 are presented in the following table:

3. Income Tax Expense

Tampa Electric Company is included in the filing of a consolidated federal income tax return with TECO Energy and its affiliates. Tampa Electric Company’s income tax expense is based upon a separate return computation. Tampa Electric Company’s rates for the six months ended Jun. 30, 2006 differ from the statutory rate principally due to state income taxes and amortization of investment tax credits.

4. Employee Postretirement Benefits

Tampa Electric Company is a participant in the comprehensive retirement plans of TECO Energy. Effective Jan. 1, 2004, Tampa Electric Company adopted FAS 132R (revised 2003), Employers’ Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88 and 106, with no material effect. No significant changes have been made to these benefit plans since Dec. 31, 2003.

Amounts allocable to all participants of the TECO Energy retirement plans are found in Note 5, Employee Postretirement Benefits, in the TECO Energy, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. Tampa Electric Company’s portion of the net pension expense for the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, was $3.4 million, $6.7 million, $2.5 million and $4.9 million for pension benefits, and $3.5 million, $7.0 million, $3.3 million and $6.7 million for other postretirement benefits.

For the fiscal 2006 plan year, TECO Energy assumed an expected long-term return on plan assets of 8.5% and a discount rate of 5.5% at its Sep. 30, 2005 measurement date. TECO Energy’s policy is to fund the pension plan based on the amount determined by TECO Energy’s actuaries within the guidelines set by ERISA. In January 2006, TECO Energy contributed $6.3 million to the pension plan, of which Tampa Electric Company’s portion was $4.3 million. Although TECO Energy has not expressed the intent to make additional contributions to the pension plan in 2006, it may elect to make such additional contributions within the ERISA guidelines.

5. Short-term Debt

These credit facilities require commitment fees ranging from 12.5 to 17.5 basis points. The weighted-average interest rate on outstanding notes payable at Dec. 31, 2005 was 4.45%. There were no outstanding notes payable at Jun. 30, 2006.

Tampa Electric Company Accounts Receivable Facility

On Jan. 5, 2006, Tampa Electric and TEC Receivables Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tampa Electric Company, extended the maturity of Tampa Electric’s $150 million accounts receivable securitized borrowing facility from Jan. 5, 2006 to Jan. 4, 2007.

6. Long-Term Debt

Issuance of Tampa Electric Company 6.55% Notes due 2036

On May 12, 2006, Tampa Electric Company issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of 6.55% Notes due May 15, 2036. The 6.55% Notes were sold at 99.375% of par to yield 6.598%. The offering resulted in net proceeds to Tampa Electric Company (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses) of approximately $246.0. Net proceeds were used to repay short-term debt and for general corporate purposes. Tampa Electric Company may redeem all or any part of the 6.55% Notes at its option at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of 6.55% Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the present value of the remaining payments of principal and interest on the 6.55% Notes to be redeemed, discounted at an applicable treasury rate (as defined in the applicable indenture), plus 25 basis points; in either case, the redemption price would include accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Contingencies

At Jun. 30, 2006, the ultimate resolution of the following specific proceeding is uncertain and no liability has been reserved or can be estimated. At this time, the ultimate outcome of this proceeding is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Tampa Electric Transmission Litigation

The Shaw, Acosta and Alvarez cases, the three pending cases related to the location of the “Juneau Loop” 95-foot and 125-foot transmission structures and upgrades to the existing substation located in or near the Egypt Lake subdivision, in Tampa, FL, remain in various stages of activity. The Shaw case is currently set for trial the week of Sep. 11, 2006. The court granted summary judgment in favor of the company on the issue of the availability of injunctive relief as a remedy. The Plaintiffs have appealed this summary judgment; the appeal has been fully briefed by both sides and the appeal remains pending before the Second District Court of Appeal (2nd DCA).

The Acosta plaintiffs are again seeking class-action status and have also moved to add other plaintiffs (other than the Alvarez’) with substation-related claims to the case. These motions remain pending before the court. There is no current activity in the Alvarez (substation) case.

Other Issues

From time to time Tampa Electric Company and its subsidiaries are involved in various other legal, tax and regulatory proceedings before various courts, regulatory commissions and governmental agencies in the ordinary course of its business. Where appropriate, accruals are made in accordance with FAS 5, Accounting for Contingencies, to provide for matters that are probable of resulting in an estimable, material loss. While the outcome of such proceedings is uncertain, management does not believe that their ultimate resolution will have a material adverse effect on the company’s results of operations or financial condition.

Superfund and Former Manufactured Gas Plant Sites

Tampa Electric Company, through its Tampa Electric and Peoples Gas divisions, is a potentially responsible party (PRP) for certain superfund sites and, through its Peoples Gas division, for certain former manufactured gas plant sites. While the joint and several liability associated with these sites presents the potential for significant response costs, as of Jun. 30, 2006, Tampa Electric Company has estimated its ultimate financial liability to be approximately $13.9 million and this amount has been accrued in the company’s financial statements. The environmental remediation costs associated with these sites, which are expected to be paid over many years, are not expected to have a significant impact on customer prices.

The estimated amounts represent only the estimated portion of the cleanup costs attributable to Tampa Electric Company. The estimates to perform the work are based on actual estimates obtained from contractors, or Tampa Electric Company’s experience with similar work adjusted for site specific conditions and agreements with the respective governmental agencies. The estimates are made in current dollars, are not discounted and do not assume any insurance recoveries.

Allocation of the responsibility for remediation costs among Tampa Electric Company and other PRPs is based on each party’s relative ownership interest in or usage of a site. Accordingly, Tampa Electric Company’s share of remediation costs varies with each site. In virtually all instances where other PRPs are involved, those PRPs are considered creditworthy.

Factors that could impact these estimates include the ability of other PRPs to pay their pro-rata portion of the cleanup costs, additional testing and investigation which could expand the scope of the cleanup activities, additional liability that might arise from the cleanup activities themselves or changes in laws or regulations that could require additional remediation. These costs are recoverable through customer rates established in subsequent base rate proceedings.

Guarantees and Letters of Credit

At Jun. 30, 2006, Tampa Electric Company was not obligated under guarantees or letters of credit for the benefit of third parties, including entities under common control. At Jun. 30, 2006, TECO Energy had provided a fuel purchase guarantee on behalf of Tampa Electric Company and had outstanding letters of credit on behalf of Tampa Electric Company in the face amounts of $20.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

Financial Covenants

In order to utilize its bank credit facilities, Tampa Electric Company must meet certain financial tests as defined in the applicable agreements. In addition, Tampa Electric Company has certain restrictive covenants in specific agreements and debt instruments. At Jun. 30, 2006, Tampa Electric Company was in compliance with applicable financial covenants.

10. Derivatives and Hedging

At Jun. 30, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005, the company had net derivative (liabilities) assets of $(39.6) million and $62.8 million, respectively. As a result of applying the provisions of FAS 71, the changes in value of these derivatives are recorded as regulatory assets or liabilities as of Jun. 30, 2006 and Dec. 31, 2005, respectively, to reflect the impact of the fuel recovery clause on the risks of hedging activities (see Note 2, New Accounting Pronouncements).

Based on the fair values of derivatives at Jun. 30, 2006, net pretax losses of $39.3 million are expected to be reclassified from regulatory assets or liabilities to the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income within the next twelve months. However, these gains and other future reclassifications from regulatory assets or liabilities will fluctuate with movements in the underlying market price of the derivative instruments. The company does not currently have any cash flow hedges for transactions forecasted to take place in periods subsequent to 2008.

Operating Results

Three Months Ended Jun. 30, 2006:

Second quarter net income was $62.5 million, compared to $95.2 million in the second quarter of 2005. Earnings per share for the quarter were $0.30, compared to $0.46 per share in the second quarter of 2005. Net income for the quarter included a $23.9 million after-tax or $0.12 per share reduction in the second quarter earnings benefits from the sale of the ownership interests in the synthetic fuel production facilities. This reduction was a result of oil prices above the threshold level for the phase-out of the tax credits from synthetic fuel. Second quarter net income from continuing operations was $61.1 million in 2006, compared to $12.4 million for the same period in 2005. Earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.29 for the second quarter of 2006, compared to $0.06 per share for the 2005 period. Results from continuing operations also reflect the $23.9 million after-tax reduction in the earnings benefits from the production of synthetic fuel.

Six Months Ended Jun. 30, 2006:

Year-to-date net income was $117.7 million in 2006, compared to $127.9 million for the same period in 2005. Earnings per share were $0.57 for the 2006 year-to-date period, compared to $0.62 per share in 2005. Year-to-date net income reflects a $34.8 million after-tax or $0.17 per share reduction in the earnings benefits from the sale of the ownership interests in the synthetic fuel production facilities due to high oil prices.

The year-to-date net income from continuing operations was $116.3 million in 2006, compared to $63.9 million for the same period in 2005. Earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.56 for the 2006 year-to-date period, compared to $0.31 per share in the 2005 period. Results from continuing operations also reflect the $34.8 million after-tax reduction in the earnings benefits from the production of synthetic fuel.

Tampa Electric Company – Electric division (Tampa Electric)

Net income for the second quarter was $37.1 million, compared with $38.8 million for the same period in 2005. Results for the quarter reflect 3.0% average customer growth, higher retail energy sales and increased sales to other utilities. The increased energy sales were more than offset by the expected increase in non-fuel operations and maintenance expense, which were driven by additional spending on system reliability and coal-fired unit performance improvements and other higher costs.

Tampa Electric’s retail energy sales increased 5.2% in the second quarter from strong customer growth and more normal weather than the same period in 2005. Total heating and cooling degree-days for the Tampa area in the second quarter were 2% below normal, but 18% above actual levels in 2005 when total degree days were 17% below normal.

Year-to-date net income was $59.5 million, compared to $60.8 million in the 2005 period. These results reflect 2.7% higher retail energy sales and off-system energy sales that were higher than in the same period last year. Average customer growth of 3% was partially offset by total heating and cooling degree days that were 7% below normal but 12% above 2005 actual degree days. Results also reflect a $1.4 million after-tax benefit for the wholesale component of the sale of sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions credits, which the company retains. Non-fuel operations and maintenance expense increased, as expected, primarily due to additional spending on system reliability and coal-fired unit performance improvements and other higher costs. A summary of Tampa Electric’s operating statistics for the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2006 and 2005 follows:

Tampa Electric Company – Natural gas division (Peoples Gas System)

Peoples Gas reported net income of $5.9 million for the second quarter, compared to $6.0 million in the same period in 2005. Quarterly results reflect average customer growth of 2.8% and strong off-system sales and gas transportation for power generation customers, offset by lower volumes for commercial and industrial customers and higher non-fuel operations and maintenance costs primarily related to personnel expenses. Results for this segment in 2006 also include $0.5 million from the small remaining energy services operating companies, which provide marketing, sales support and gas management services.

Year-to-date net income was $18.5 million, compared to $18.8 million in the 2005 period. Year-to-date results reflect 3.2% average customer growth as well as the same factors as the second quarter. Sales to weather-sensitive residential and commercial customers were lower in the first quarter due to statewide heating degree-days that were significantly below normal and 2005. Results in 2006 included $1.0 million from the small remaining energy service operating companies.

For the six months ended Jun. 30, 2006, 2.3 million therms were reclassified from commercial to residential.

TECO Coal

TECO Coal achieved second quarter net income of $13.4 million, compared to $28.4 million in the same period in 2005. Second quarter total sales were 2.4 million tons, including 1.5 million tons of synthetic fuel, compared to 2.5 million tons, including 1.7 million tons of synthetic fuel, in the 2005 period. Compared to the second quarter in 2005, results reflect a 17% higher average net selling price per ton across all products, which excludes transportation allowances. In addition to strong markets, premiums for quality and sulfur content contributed to the higher selling prices. Sales volumes were lower than 2005 due to production downtime resulting from the relocation of continuous mining equipment within one of TECO Coal’s mining complexes. Net income for the quarter included a net synthetic fuel cost of $0.7 million in 2006, compared to a net benefit of $21.2 million in 2005.

Table of Contents

Net income for the quarter included a $23.9 million after-tax reduction in the second quarter earnings benefits from synthetic fuel production due to oil prices above the threshold level for the phase-out of the tax credits from synthetic fuel. This amount includes a $6.5 million reduction in net income related to first quarter production of synthetic fuel due to the increase in the estimated 63% phase-out in the second quarter from the 41% phase-out estimate in the first quarter. Results also included a $3.2 million after-tax mark-to-market gain on the $20 million of hedges previously placed to protect the company’s synthetic fuel benefits against rising oil prices.

The average of the year-to-date NYMEX-settled price and the futures prices for the remainder of the year was approximately $71 per barrel, which resulted in about a 63% reduction in the benefits from synthetic fuel. Based on the year-to-date actual difference of more than $7 per barrel between the Producer First Purchase Price reported by the U.S. Department of Energy and NYMEX settled prices, TECO Coal now estimates the initial phase-out level for 2006 to be $62/Bbl on a NYMEX basis, and the range to be between $62 and $76 per barrel on a NYMEX basis. Final calculations of any reductions in benefits will not be made until after the end of the year when final oil prices are known. Changes in oil prices may cause quarterly adjustments to results, either positive or negative, depending on oil futures prices at the end of each quarter.

Compared to the 2005 full-year per-ton cash cost of production, the second quarter production costs increased almost 9%, due in part to the relocation of mining equipment during the quarter, but are expected to average 3% to 5% higher for the full year 2006 compared to 2005. Higher production costs reflect increased contract miner costs and continued higher fuel prices, which affect the cost of diesel fuel, explosives and the costs associated with relocating equipment. Due to the timing of certain cost increases in 2005, primarily contract miner costs, the quarter-over-quarter cost comparisons are not reflective of full-year expectations.

TECO Coal recorded year-to-date net income of $38.1 million in 2006, compared to $55.9 million in the 2005 period. Year-to-date 2006 total sales were 4.9 million tons, including 3.0 million tons of synthetic fuel, compared to 4.8 million tons including 3.3 million tons of synthetic fuel in the 2005 period. Compared to 2005, results reflect a 19% higher average net selling price per ton across all products, which excludes transportation allowances. Compared to the 2005 full-year per-ton cash cost of production, the cash cost of production for the year-to-date period increased almost 8%, but is expected to average 3% to 5% higher for the full year 2006 compared to 2005. Year-to-date net income included a net synthetic fuel benefit of $9.3 million in 2006, compared to $43.8 million in 2005.

Year-to-date net income reflects a $34.8 million after-tax reduction in the earnings benefits from synthetic fuel production due to high oil prices, which is net of a $4.6 million of after-tax mark-to-market gains on the oil price hedges discussed above. Partially offsetting the reduction in synthetic fuel benefits was a $2.7 million after-tax benefit in the first quarter of 2006 from the true-up of the 2005 synthetic fuel tax credit rate.

TECO Transport

TECO Transport recorded second quarter 2006 net income of $6.5 million, compared to $5.3 million in the same period in 2005. TECO Transport’s second quarter 2006 results included the $1.5 million after-tax insurance recoveries at TECO Barge Line related to Hurricane Katrina and $0.8 million of after-tax direct costs associated with the restoration and recovery efforts for remaining damage from Hurricane Katrina at TECO Bulk Terminal. The final major repairs to damage from Hurricane Katrina at TECO Bulk Terminal were completed in mid-April 2006, and product handling at the terminal is now at or above pre-hurricane levels. TECO Barge Line benefited from the delivery of 50 replacement river barges in the second quarter of 2006.

Second quarter results in 2006 reflect higher river barge rates, higher contract rates due to fuel adjustment clauses and lower operating costs partially offset by fuel costs more than 30% higher than in 2005. Results also reflect the qualification of four oceangoing vessels for the benefits of tax law changes under the Jobs Creation Act, compared to two vessels in the second quarter of 2005. The tax law change keeps U.S. flag vessels competitive with non-U.S. flag vessels by reducing taxes on income earned by U.S. flag vessels engaged in full-time international trade.

Year-to-date net income was $11.6 million in 2006, compared to $9.4 million in the 2005 period. Year-to-date net income includes $2.0 million of after-tax direct costs associated with damage from Hurricane Katrina at TECO Bulk Terminal and TECO Barge Line, net of the second quarter insurance recovery described above. These results also reflect fewer shipyard days on oceangoing vessels, higher river barge rates and fuel adjustments to contract rates partially offset by higher fuel costs.

TECO Guatemala

TECO Guatemala reported second quarter net income of $8.7 million in 2006, compared to $7.9 million in the 2005 period. The 2006 results reflect customer growth and higher energy sales at EEGSA and higher energy sales and capacity payments at the generating facilities, which were partially offset by higher tax rates compared to 2005. Results in 2005 included the one-year benefit of the 5.25% tax rate on dividends under the Jobs Creation Act, while 2006 reflects the normal tax rate. Year-to-date 2006 net income of $17.3 million, compared to $19.4 million in the 2005 period, was driven primarily by the items described for the quarter, with the higher tax rate having the largest impact.

Results for Parent/other in the second quarter included in 2006 an $8.1 million after-tax gain on the sale of the remaining assets of the unfinished McAdams Power Station, which had been previously impaired, and in 2005, a $45 million after-tax charge associated with the early retirement of $380 million of debt. Total parent interest expense declined $9.9 million in the second quarter of 2006 due to the debt redemption and refinancing actions initiated in mid-2005. This was offset, in part, by no longer allocating interest to TWG Merchant.

The year-to-date Parent/other cost was $28.7 million in 2006, compared to $86.1 million in the 2005 period which included a $45 million after-tax charge associated with the early retirement of $380 million of debt. Year-to-date 2006 total parent interest expense declined $18.7 million due to the debt redemption and refinancing actions initiated in mid-2005.

Interest Expense

Total interest expense for the three months and six months ended Jun. 30, 2006 were $70.1 million and $139.2 million respectively, compared to $76.4 million and $151.9 million for the same periods in 2005. The year-to-date results were driven by the same factors as the quarter. Interest expense was lower than that for the 2005 periods, primarily due to the parent debt redemption and refinancing activities initiated in mid 2005, including the retirement of the 10.5% notes in June 2005 and $100 million of the 8.5% trust preferred securities in December 2005 partially offset by higher borrowings at Tampa Electric.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes from continuing operations for the 2006 second quarter and year-to-date periods were an expense of $27.3 million and $50.0 million, respectively, compared to an expense of $4.0 million and $31.8 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2005. Income tax expense is higher for both periods in 2006, compared to 2005, due to higher pretax income from continuing operations. The 2005 provision includes the provision for U.S. income taxes on cash repatriated from Guatemala and tax expense related to an enacted change in state income tax rates in Kentucky. Both 2006 and 2005 include a tax benefit related to the application of the “tonnage tax” to qualified vessels.

During the six months ended Jun. 30, 2006 and Jun. 30, 2005 the company experienced a number of events that have impacted the overall effective tax rate on continuing operations. These events included a permanent reinvestment of foreign income under APB 23, reduction of income tax expense under the new “tonnage tax” regime, adjustment of deferred tax assets for the effect of an enacted change in state rates, depletion and repatriation of foreign source income to the United States. Through the second quarter of 2006, the tonnage tax resulted in a $1.2 million income tax benefit.

Discontinued Operations

Second quarter net income from discontinued operations was $1.4 million in 2006, compared to $82.8 million in the same period of 2005. Results from discontinued operations in 2006 primarily reflect recoveries of amounts previously written-off from the smaller unregulated energy-related businesses that were previously sold. Results from discontinued operations in 2005 included the operating results from the Union and Gila River power stations through the end of May 2005 and the $76.5 million after-tax gain recorded upon their transfer to the lending bank group at the end of May 2005. Results in 2005 also included the results for the Commonwealth Chesapeake Power Station until its sale in April 2005. Net income from discontinued operations in the 2006 year-to-date period was $1.4 million, compared to $64.0 million in the 2005 period, driven by the same factors as the second quarter.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and Liquidity

TECO Energy’s consolidated cash and cash equivalents, excluding all restricted cash, totaled $467.4 million at June 30, 2006. Restricted cash of $37.2 million includes $30.0 million held in escrow until the end of 2007 related to the sale of an interest in the synthetic coal production facilities. As of Jun. 30, 2006, unconsolidated affiliates owned by TECO Guatemala, CGESJ (San José) and TCAE (Alborada), had unrestricted cash balances of $12.8 million and restricted cash of $9.0 million.

In addition, at Jun. 30, 2006, aggregate availability under bank credit facilities was $665.5 million, net of letters of credit of $9.5 million outstanding under these facilities. At the end of the quarter, total liquidity, including cash plus credit facilities, was $1.1 billion, which included $488.1 million at Tampa Electric Company, consisting of $475.0 million of credit facilities, all of which were undrawn at Jun. 30, 2006, and $13.1 million of cash. TECO Energy parent had total liquidity of $630.6 million at Jun. 30, 2006, consisting of $440.1 million of cash and availability of $190.5 million under its credit facility.

Financing Activities

Issuance of Tampa Electric Company 6.55% Notes due 2036

On May 12, 2006, Tampa Electric Company issued $250 million aggregate principal amount of 6.55% Notes due May 15, 2036. The 6.55% Notes were sold at 99.375% of par to yield 6.598%. The offering resulted in net proceeds to Tampa Electric Company (after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses) of approximately $246.0 million. Net proceeds were used to repay short-term debt and for general corporate purposes. Tampa Electric Company may redeem all or any part of the 6.55% Notes at its option at any time and from time to time at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of 6.55% Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the present value of the remaining payments of principal and interest on the 6.55% Notes to be redeemed, discounted at an applicable treasury rate (as defined in the applicable indenture), plus 25 basis points; in either case, the redemption price would include accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

Covenants in Financing Agreements

In order to utilize their respective bank credit facilities, TECO Energy and Tampa Electric Company must meet certain financial tests as defined in the applicable agreements. In addition, TECO Energy, Tampa Electric Company and other operating companies have certain restrictive covenants in specific agreements and debt instruments. TECO Energy, Tampa Electric Company and the other operating companies are in compliance with all applicable financial covenants.

Outlook

Earnings

In January, the company provided an outlook for expected 2006 results in a range between $1.25 and $1.35 per share, which assumed $0.40 per share from the production of synthetic fuel on about 6.3 million tons annually and no reduction in the net $22 per ton pretax benefit from synthetic fuel production for the full year.

TECO Coal had previously forecast that it would derive a significant portion of its 2006 earnings from the benefits from the sale of 98% of the ownership of its synthetic fuel production facilities to third-party investors. The production of synthetic fuel qualifies for federal income tax credits for the production of non-conventional fuel, which can be limited by the average annual price of crude oil as measured by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Producer First Purchase Price. The tax credits phase out in a linear manner.

At Jun. 30, 2006, the average of the year-to-date NYMEX-settled price and the futures prices for the remainder of the year was approximately $71 per barrel, which resulted in about a 63% reduction in the benefits from synthetic fuel. Recent global events have increased the likelihood that oil prices for the year could be at a level that makes it uneconomic to produce synthetic fuel. The breakeven point for the production of synthetic fuel is the average calendar year oil price at which the cost of producing synthetic fuel offset the benefits received from the production and the benefits of the previously placed oil price hedges. The company estimates that price to be approximately $73 per barrel on a NYMEX basis.

The actual benefits from the year-to-date synthetic fuel production will be continuously adjusted throughout the remainder of the year based on actual prices and oil futures prices to determine the estimated average annual price. This may result in either positive or negative quarterly adjustments to the results from synthetic fuel production recorded in the first two quarters, depending on the estimated full-year average annual oil price at the end of each quarter. Final calculations will be made in 2007, when the Internal Revenue Service publishes the actual reference price.

TECO Energy updated its previous 2006 guidance to reflect strong year-to-date performance in the five core businesses and to provide information on its expected results, which include the impact of its Jul. 17, 2006, decision to idle its synthetic fuel production at the end of July. The company also believes this to be necessary given that year-to-date oil prices and oil price futures through the end of 2006 have remained at levels that are expected to limit the benefits from the production of synthetic fuel to near the breakeven level.

The per-share results from the five core businesses, with synthetic fuel at the breakeven point, are currently forecast to be in a range of $0.90 to $1.00, which reflects a $0.40 per share reduction of the synthetic fuel benefits and a $0.05 per share increase over operating expectations provided in January. This increase is driven by better than originally expected performance and a favorable outlook for the remainder of the year in the five core businesses excluding the synthetic fuel operations.

The NYMEX oil futures prices for 2007 currently reflect an expected oil price above the breakeven point for production of synthetic fuel. If these conditions do not materially improve, it is unlikely that we will produce synthetic fuel in 2007. Under current law, the tax credits available for synthetic fuel expire at the end of 2007.

Cash

TECO Energy previously forecast 2006 consolidated net cash generation in a range of $135 to $175 million and net cash accumulation at TECO Energy parent of $130 to 170 million. Both forecasts included common dividend payments, capital spending and financing activity including the retirement of $100 million of 8.5% trust preferred securities, and assumed net cash proceeds of approximately $140 million attributable to synthetic fuel benefits without reduction of those proceeds from high oil prices. At the $73 per barrel synthetic fuel breakeven point described above, and including $15 million of operating improvements, these forecasts would be reduced by approximately $120 million.

The parent cash forecast included a $50 million equity contribution to Tampa Electric in 2006 as well as the retirement of the remaining $100 million of 8.5% trust preferred securities due in 2041, both of which are discretionary and could be accomplished at other times. If synthetic fuel proceeds are phased out as expected, it is likely that one or both of these discretionary items will be deferred until 2007. TECO Energy parent had a cash balance of $440 million at Jun. 30, 2006 and expects to retire the full $357 million of parent-level debt maturing in 2007 without refinancing.

TECO Energy previously forecast 2006 consolidated cash flow from operations in a range from $500 to $550 million. This forecast included the projected $65 million cost of producing synthetic fuel for the full year, but excluded the projected $205 million of synthetic fuel investor proceeds which are reported in cash from investing and financing activities. At the $73 per barrel synthetic fuel breakeven point described above, the consolidated cash flow from operations forecast range would improve by approximately $60 million, reflecting no production for the five months following the idling of the synthetic fuel facilities, cash benefits of oil price hedges, and operating improvements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates since Dec. 31. 2005, other than the accounting estimate that was recorded during the first two quarters of 2006 for synthetic fuel tax credit related benefits. This estimate is discussed more fully in Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the TECO Energy, Inc. Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements under the heading, Other Income and Minority Interest.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

We are exposed to changes in interest rates primarily as a result of our borrowing activities. We may enter into futures, swaps and option contracts, in accordance with the approved risk management policies and procedures, to moderate this exposure to interest rate changes and achieve a desired level of fixed and variable rate debt. As of Jun. 30, 2006 there was no significant change in our exposure to interest rate risk since Dec. 31, 2005.

Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit risk as a result of our purchases and sales of energy commodities and related hedging activities. As of Jun. 30, 2006, there was no significant change in our exposure to credit risk since Dec. 31, 2005.

Commodity Risk

We face varying degrees of exposure to commodity risks—including coal, natural gas, fuel oil and other energy commodity prices. Any changes in prices could affect the prices these businesses charge, their operating costs and the competitive position of their products and services and do affect the net fair value of derivatives. We assess and monitor risk using a variety of measurement tools based on the degree of exposure of each operating company to commodity risk. Our most significant commodity risk exposure in 2006 is the potential effect of high oil prices on our earnings and cash flows from synthetic fuel operations, as discussed more fully in the Operating Results – TECO Coal section of Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
