TEPPCO PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
TEPPCO Partners, L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership which operates
through TE Products Pipeline Company, Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited
partnership (collectively the "Partnership"), in which TEPPCO Partners, L.P.
holds a 99% interest as the sole limited partner. Texas Eastern Products
Pipeline Company and Subsidiary Companies (the "Company"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of PanEnergy Corp (PanEnergy), is the general partner of the
Partnership and has agreed not to voluntarily withdraw as the general partner
of the Partnership, subject to certain limited exceptions, prior to January 1,
2000.
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal and recurring
nature and necessary for a fair statement of the financial position of the
Partnership as of March 31, 1996, and the results of operations and cash flows
for the periods presented. The results of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of results of operations
for the full year 1996. The interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Partnership's consolidated financial statements and notes
thereto presented in the TEPPCO Partners, L.P. Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 1995. Certain amounts for the prior year period
have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
Net income per Unit is computed by dividing net income, after deduction of
the general partner's interest, by the weighted average number of Units
outstanding (a total of 14,500,000 Units as of March 31, 1996). The general
partner's percentage interest in net income is based on its percentage of cash
distributions from Available Cash for each period (see Note 6). The general
partner was allocated 5.15% and 4.03% of net income for the three months ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
NOTE 2. ACCOUNTING POLICY CHANGES
Effective January 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived
Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of," with no impact to the
Partnership's consolidated financial statements. Assets are grouped and
evaluated based on the ability to identify their respective cash flows.
In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation." This standard addresses the
timing and measurement of stock-based compensation expense. The Partnership
has elected to retain the approach of Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB)
No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," (the intrinsic value
method) for recognizing stock-based expense in the consolidated financial
statements. The Partnership will adopt SFAS 123 in 1996 with respect to the
disclosure requirements set forth therein for companies retaining the intrinsic
value approach of APB No. 25.
NOTE 3. INVESTMENTS
SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS
The Partnership routinely invests cash in liquid short-term investments as
part of its cash management program. Investments with maturities at date of
purchase of 90 days or less are considered cash and cash equivalents. At March
31, 1996, short-term investments included $19.8 million of investment-grade
medium-term corporate debt securities, which mature within one year. At March
31, 1996, the aggregate fair value and unrealized gain for such securities was
$19.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively. All short-term investments are
classified as held-to-
5

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
maturity securities and are stated at amortized cost.
LONG-TERM INVESTMENTS
At March 31, 1996, the Partnership had $16.4 million invested in
investment-grade medium-term corporate debt securities, which have varying
maturities from 1997 through 2001. These securities are classified as
held-to-maturity securities and are stated at amortized cost. At March 31,
1996, the aggregate fair value and unrealized gain for these securities was
$16.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
NOTE 4. FIRST MORTGAGE NOTES
In connection with its formation, TE Products Pipeline Company, Limited
Partnership issued 9.60% Series A First Mortgage Notes, due 2000, and 10.20%
Series B First Mortgage Notes, due 2010 (collectively the "Notes"). The Notes,
which are secured by a mortgage on substantially all property, plant and
equipment of the Partnership, have mandatory annual prepayments at par through
March 7, 2010. Interest is payable semiannually on each March 7 and September
7 until retirement of the Notes. On March 7, 1996, the Partnership paid $10.0
million for current maturities due on the Notes. At March 31, 1996, the
current maturities of the Notes was $13.0 million, which is payable on March 7,
1997.
The agreements relating to the Notes contain certain covenant restrictions,
including limitations on cash distributions and on the amount of future
indebtedness, none of which is expected to have a material adverse effect on
the Partnership's operations.
NOTE 5. INVENTORIES
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost (based on weighted average cost
method) or market. The major components of inventories were as follows (in
thousands):

The costs of inventories were lower than market at March 31, 1996, and

NOTE 6. CASH DISTRIBUTIONS
The Partnership makes quarterly cash distributions of all of its Available
Cash, generally defined as consolidated cash receipts less consolidated cash
disbursements and cash reserves established by the general partner in its sole
discretion or as required by the terms of the Notes.
On February 9, 1996, the Partnership paid a cash distribution of $0.70 per
Unit for the fourth quarter of 1995.

<PAGE> 7
TEPPCO PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued)
(Unaudited)
Additionally, on April 16, 1996, the Partnership declared a cash distribution
of $0.70 per Unit for the quarter ended March 31, 1996. The distribution is
payable on May 10, 1996, to Unitholders of record on April 30, 1996.
The Company receives incremental incentive distributions of 15%, 25% and 50%
on quarterly distributions of Available Cash that exceed $0.55, $0.65 and $0.90
per Unit, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995,
incentive distributions paid to the Company totaled $453,162 and $226,290,
respectively.
NOTE 7. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company was involved in eight lawsuits, filed in 1988 and 1989, in the
United States District Court of the Southern District of Indiana, New Albany
Division, claiming various injuries to the health and property of persons
living near the Partnership's Seymour, Indiana, terminal. During 1995 and
early 1996, the Company settled six of the eight Seymour cases. In April 1996,
the two remaining Seymour cases were settled at amounts approximating those
accrued at December 31, 1995.
The Partnership is involved in various other claims and legal proceedings
incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, these claims and
legal proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's
consolidated financial position or results of operations.
The operations of the Partnership are subject to federal, state and local
laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment. Although the
Partnership believes the operations of the pipeline system are in general
compliance with applicable environmental regulations, risks of significant
costs and liabilities are inherent in pipeline operations, and there can be no
assurance that significant costs and liabilities will not be incurred.
Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly strict
environmental laws and regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and
claims for damages to property or persons resulting from the operations of the
pipeline system, could result in substantial costs and liabilities to the
Partnership. At March 31, 1996, the Partnership had $2.1 million included in
accrued liabilities for environmental remediation programs at certain
facilities. The Partnership expects this amount will be paid during 1996 and
1997. The completion of these programs is not expected to have a future
material adverse impact on the Partnership.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The Partnership's operations consist of the transportation, storage and
terminaling of refined petroleum products and liquefied petroleum gases (LPGs).
Operations are somewhat seasonal with higher revenues generally realized during
the first and fourth quarters of each year. Refined products volumes are
generally higher during the second and third quarters because of greater demand
for gasolines during the spring and summer driving seasons. LPGs volumes are
generally higher from November through March due to higher demand in the
Midwest and Northeast for propane, a major fuel for residential heating, and
higher demand for butane, an additive for gasoline blending.
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 was $20.1 million, compared
with net income of $16.9 million for the 1995 first quarter. The increase in
net income resulted primarily from a $5.7 million increase in operating
revenues, partially offset by a $2.7 million increase in operating, general and
administrative expenses. See discussion below of factors affecting net income
for the comparative periods.
See volume and average tariff information below:

====== ======= =====
</TABLE>
Refined products transportation revenues increased $1.0 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 1996, compared with the prior-year quarter, as a result
of higher deliveries of motor fuel and distillate due to higher demand coupled
with lower refinery production in Midwest market areas served by the pipeline
system. Additionally, jet fuel deliveries increased from the prior year due
primarily to higher demand at Chicago's O'Hare Airport and the Greater
Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. These increases were
partially offset by lower long-haul deliveries of methyl tertiary butyl ether
(MTBE) resulting from unfavorable blending economics in the Chicago area as
well as lower demand for reformulated gasoline in the Chicago area.
LPGs transportation revenues increased $3.9 million for the quarter ended
March 31, 1996, compared with the first quarter of 1995, due primarily to
higher long-haul propane deliveries attributable to colder winter weather in
the upper Midwest and Northeast. The increase in long-haul propane deliveries
was partially offset by lower butane deliveries due to unfavorable Midwest
price differentials and lower demand in the Northeast. Also, decreased
petrochemical demand along the upper Texas Gulf Coast resulted in lower
short-haul propane deliveries. The 13% increase in the LPGs average tariff per
barrel resulted primarily from the increase in long-haul propane deliveries
coupled with lower short-haul propane deliveries along the upper Texas Gulf
Coast.
Revenues from Mont Belvieu operations decreased $0.3 million from the
prior-year first quarter due primarily to lower storage revenues, coupled with
lower shuttle deliveries of propane attributable to decreased demand along
8
<PAGE> 9
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - (CONTINUED)
the upper Texas Gulf Coast. The 29% increase in the Mont Belvieu operations
average tariff per barrel resulted from a more favorable mix in 1996 of
non-contract volumes, which generally carry higher tariffs.
Other operating revenues increased $1.3 million from the prior year first
quarter primarily due to increased propane imports received at the Providence,
Rhode Island, marine terminal attributable to colder weather in the Northeast,
partially offset by lower refined products terminaling revenue.
Operating, general and administrative expenses increased $2.7 million during
the quarter ended March 31, 1996, compared with the prior-year quarter, due
primarily to increased supplies and outside services, power costs and labor
related expenses. Supplies and outside services increased as a result of
increased field maintenance activity, implementation of required regulatory
programs and increased additive costs as a result of higher product deliveries
during the first quarter of 1996. Power costs increased 4% from the prior-year
due to increased mainline transportation deliveries. Labor related expenses
increased in 1996 as a result of merit increases in 1995 and increased benefits
expense in 1996.
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY
Net cash from operations for the three months ended March 31, 1996 totaled
$17.0 million, compared with $18.2 million for the corresponding period in
1995. The decrease resulted primarily from lower amounts of cash received on
sales of product inventory and higher cash payments for accrued expenses during
the first quarter of 1996, partially offset by increased income before charges
for depreciation and amortization. Net cash from operations for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 reflect semi-annual interest payments
related to the Notes of $17.6 million and $17.9 million, respectively.
Cash flows from investing activities during the first quarter of 1996
include additional investments of $5.8 million, partially offset by maturities
of investments of $4.9 million. Cash flows from investing activities during
the first quarter of 1995 include maturities of investments of $20.0 million,
offset by additional investments of $24.5 million. Interest income earned on
all investments is included in cash from operations.
Capital expenditures totaled $4.1 million for the first quarter of 1996,
compared with capital expenditures of $7.0 million for the first quarter of
1995. The decrease in capital expenditures during 1996 was due primarily to
timing of spending on construction projects in 1996. Capital expenditures for
the full year of 1996 are expected to total approximately $58 million
(including capitalized interest of $0.9 million). Approximately $22 million
will be used to provide additional capacity from a refinery near Shreveport,
Louisiana, and approximately $16 million will be used to expand mainline
capacity by an additional 50,000 barrels per day to serve the Midwest market
area. An additional $5 million will be used to construct facilities to deliver
jet fuel to the United States Air Force Base at Little Rock, Arkansas,
beginning in June 1996. The remaining $15 million will be used on other
revenue-generating and system integrity projects. The Partnership revises
capital spending periodically in response to changes in cash flows and
operations.
The Partnership paid the fourth quarter 1995 cash distribution of $10.8
million ($0.70 per Unit) on February 9, 1996. Additionally, on April 16, 1996,
the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.70 per Unit for the three
months ended March 31, 1996. The distribution is payable on May 10, 1996 to
Unitholders of record on April 30, 1996.
The Notes, which are secured by a mortgage on substantially all property,
plant and equipment of the Partnership, require annual principal payments
through March 2010. Interest is payable semi-annually on March 7 and September
7. Cash and cash equivalents were reduced by the $10.0 million principal
payment related to the Notes

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY - (CONTINUED)
on March 7, 1996. At March 31, 1996, the current maturities of the Notes were
$13.0 million. The note agreement relating to the Notes limits the amount of
cash distributions that can be made by TE Products Pipeline Company, Limited
Partnership to TEPPCO Partners, L.P. Such restriction is not anticipated to
preclude the Partnership from making quarterly distributions to Unitholders of
at least $0.70 per Unit during 1996.
OTHER MATTERS
The operations of the Partnership are subject to federal, state and local
laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment. Although the
Partnership believes the operations of the pipeline system are in general
compliance with applicable environmental regulations, risks of significant
costs and liabilities are inherent in pipeline operations, and there can be no
assurance that significant costs and liabilities will not be incurred.
Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly strict
environmental laws and regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and
claims for damages to property or persons resulting from the operations of the
pipeline system could result in substantial costs and liabilities to the
Partnership.
The Company was involved in eight lawsuits, filed in 1988 and 1989, in the
United States District Court of the Southern District of Indiana, New Albany
Division, claiming various injuries to the health and property of persons
living near the Partnership's Seymour, Indiana, terminal. During 1995 and
early 1996, the Company settled six of the eight Seymour cases. In April 1996,
the two remaining Seymour cases were settled at amounts approximating those
accrued at December 31, 1995.
Effective January 1, 1996, the Partnership adopted SFAS 121, "Accounting for
the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed
of," with no impact to the Partnership's consolidated financial statements.
Assets are grouped and evaluated based on the ability to identify their
respective cash flows.
In October 1995, the FASB issued SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation." This standard addresses the timing and measurement of
stock-based compensation expense. The Partnership has elected to retain the
approach of APB No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," (the
intrinsic value method) for recognizing stock-based expense in the consolidated
financial statements. The Partnership will adopt SFAS 123 in 1996 with respect
to the disclosure requirements set forth therein for companies retaining the
intrinsic value approach of APB No. 25.
