occurred if the transactions described herein had
taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of
the future consolidated results of the combined company.
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements of Enterprise should be read in conjunction with and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the notes accompanying such unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and with the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of Enterprise included in its 2003 Annual Report filed on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on December 6, 2004 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004. The condensed consolidated financial statements of GulfTerra included herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the historical consolidated financial statements and related notes of GulfTerra for the year ended December 31, 2003 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, contained in Enterprise’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on April 20, 2004 and Current Report on Form 8-K/ A (Amendment No. 5) filed with the Commission on December 27, 2004, respectively. The combined financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2003 of El Paso Hydrocarbons, L.P. and El Paso NGL Marketing Company, L.P. (collectively, the “South Texas midstream assets”) included herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the historical combined financial statements and related notes of the South Texas midstream assets included in Enterprise’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on April 16, 2004. The combined financial statements of the South Texas midstream assets for the eight months ended August 31, 2004 included herein were derived from the historical accounts and records of these entities.
In connection with the GulfTerra Merger Transactions, we are required under a consent decree published for comment by the FTC on September 30, 2004 to sell our 50% interest in an entity which owns the Stingray natural gas pipeline and related gathering pipelines and dehydration and other facilities located in south Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico offshore Louisiana. The $37.2 million carrying value of this investment was classified under “Assets Held for Sale” on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2004. Enterprise recognized approximately $3 million in equity earnings from this investment for both the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003. We are required to sell this investment by March 31, 2005. We have entered into a contract with a third party to sell this investment. We expect this sale to occur in the first quarter of 2005. The sale requires Federal Trade Commission approval under the terms of the consent decree relating to the GulfTerra Merger Transactions and is subject to other customary closing conditions. We expect the proceeds from the sale of this investment will exceed the carrying value of this investment. For purposes of pro forma presentation, we have not estimated the proceeds from this sale and therefore, our pro forma statements of operations do not reflect any net gain or loss. In addition, our pro forma statements of operations do not reflect the removal of equity earnings from this investment due to the insignificant effect on the pro forma results of operations. F-3

ENTERPRISE PRODUCTS PARTNERS L.P. NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements and underlying pro forma adjustments are based upon information currently available and certain estimates and assumptions made by the management of Enterprise; therefore, actual results could materially differ from the pro forma information. However, Enterprise believes the assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the transactions noted herein. Enterprise believes the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the pro forma information. Completion of the GulfTerra Merger Transactions
On September 30, 2004, Enterprise and GulfTerra completed the merger of GulfTerra with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enterprise, with GulfTerra being the surviving entity thereof. Additionally, Enterprise completed certain other transactions related to the merger, including the contribution by Enterprise’s general partner (“Enterprise GP”) of a 50% membership interest in GulfTerra’s general partner (“GulfTerra GP”), which was acquired by Enterprise GP from El Paso, and the purchase of certain midstream energy assets located in South Texas from El Paso. The aggregate value of the total consideration Enterprise paid or issued to complete the GulfTerra Merger Transactions was approximately $4 billion. These transactions were accounted for using purchase accounting. Our September 30, 2004 Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet reflects the GulfTerra merger. Since the GulfTerra Merger Transactions closed during the day of September 30, 2004, our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations and Comprehensive Income do not include any earnings from GulfTerra due to the immateriality of the amounts. Pursuant to written agreements, the effective closing date of our purchase of the South Texas midstream assets was September 1, 2004. Our Unaudited Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations and Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 include one month of results of operations from the South Texas midstream assets. As a result of the GulfTerra Merger Transactions, GulfTerra and GulfTerra GP became wholly-owned subsidiaries of Enterprise on September 30, 2004. On October 1, 2004, we contributed our ownership interests in GulfTerra and GulfTerra GP to our Operating Partnership, which resulted in GulfTerra and GulfTerra GP becoming wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership.
GulfTerra owns or has interests in natural gas pipeline systems extending over 15,650 miles. These pipeline systems include natural gas gathering systems located onshore in Alabama, Colorado, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico and Texas and offshore in active drilling and development regions in the Gulf of Mexico. GulfTerra also owns interests in five natural gas processing and treating plants in New Mexico, Texas and Colorado. In addition, GulfTerra has interests in seven multi-purpose offshore hub platforms in the Gulf of Mexico, including the recently completed Marco Polo TLP. These platforms were specifically designed to be used as deepwater hubs and production handling and pipeline maintenance facilities. Many of GulfTerra’s offshore natural gas and oil pipelines utilize these platforms. GulfTerra also owns two salt dome natural gas storage facilities in Mississippi that are connected to five interstate pipeline systems, have a combined current working capacity of 13.5 billion cubic feet (“Bcf”) and are capable of delivering in excess of 1.2 Bcf per day of natural gas. In addition, GulfTerra has the exclusive right to use a natural gas storage facility in South Texas under an operating lease that expires in January 2008. F-7

This facility has a working gas capacity of 6.4 Bcf and a maximum withdrawal capacity of 0.8 Bcf per day of natural gas. In addition, GulfTerra owns interests in five offshore crude oil pipeline systems, which extend over 800 miles, including the recently completed 390-mile Cameron Highway oil pipeline. GulfTerra also owns over 1,000 miles of intrastate NGL pipelines and four NGL fractionation plants in Texas and a 3.3 million barrel (“MMBbl”) propane storage facility in Mississippi; and, owns or leases NGL storage facilities in Louisiana and Texas with aggregate capacity of approximately 21.3 MMBbls. GulfTerra also owns interests in four minor oil and natural gas producing properties located in the Gulf of Mexico offshore Louisiana. The South Texas midstream assets purchased from El Paso consist of nine natural gas processing plants with a combined capacity of 1.9 Bcf per day, a 294-mile natural gas gathering system, a natural gas treating facility with a capacity of 150 MMcf per day and a small NGL pipeline.
The GulfTerra Merger Transactions occurred in several interrelated steps as described below.
In connection with the closing of the GulfTerra Merger Transactions, on September 30, 2004, our Operating Partnership borrowed an aggregate of $2.8 billion under its 364-Day Acquisition Credit Facility and Multi-Year Revolving Credit Facility (collectively referred to as the “Merger Credit Facilities”) in order to fund its cash payment obligations under Step Two and Step Three of the GulfTerra F-8

Allocation of purchase price of GulfTerra Merger Transactions The GulfTerra Merger Transactions were recorded using the purchase method of accounting. Purchase accounting requires us to allocate the cost of a business combination to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Enterprise has engaged an independent third-party business valuation expert to assess the fair value of GulfTerra’s and the South Texas midstream asset’s tangible and intangible assets. This information will assist management in the development of a definitive allocation of the overall purchase price of the GulfTerra Merger Transactions. The preliminary fair values shown in the following table are estimates based on information available to management at December 31, 2004. Subsequent to September 30, 2004, we made purchase price adjustments of $1.5 million related to additional transaction fees associated with the GulfTerra Merger Transactions. Additionally, we adjusted our initial preliminary purchase price allocation to property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, goodwill and other various assets and liabilities we assumed in the GulfTerra Merger Transactions. The subsequent adjustments are reflected as pro forma adjustments on our Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2004. The fair value conclusions related to the GulfTerra Merger Transactions may be updated further when the underlying valuation study is finalized and we have completed our review of all other related information.

STATEMENTS — (Continued)
As a result of the preliminary purchase price allocation for Step Two and Step Three of the GulfTerra Merger Transactions, we recorded $734.6 million of amortizable intangible assets, primarily those related to customer relationships and contracts. The remaining preliminary amount represents goodwill of $380.3 million associated with our view of the future results from GulfTerra’s operations, based on the strategic location of GulfTerra’s assets as well as their industry connections. Pro Forma Adjustments The pro forma adjustments made to the historical financial statements of Enterprise, GulfTerra and the South Texas midstream assets are described as follows: (a) During the first nine months of 2004, Enterprise issued 37,484,241 common units in public sales of common units and in connection with its DRIP and related programs, which generated aggregate net proceeds of approximately $755.9 million. The issuance of common units was as follows:
As a result of the February, May and August 2004 offerings described above, the weighted-average number of common units outstanding increased 23.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 37.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Since the receipt of proceeds from these offerings and the related increases in partners’ equity are already reflected in Enterprise’s historical consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2004, no pro forma adjustments to the balance sheet are necessary. As a result of the use of proceeds from these offerings, pro forma interest expense decreased $5.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $16.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. In calculating the pro forma adjustment to interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, we used an average historical variable interest rate of 1.8%, which was determined by reference to the debt obligations that were either completely repaid or temporarily reduced using proceeds from such offerings. In calculating the pro forma adjustment to interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2003, we used a weighted-average estimated variable interest rate of 3.0% based on a combination of the 3.4% estimated variable F-11

STATEMENTS — (Continued)
interest rate we are currently being charged on amounts borrowed under our Merger Credit Facilities and average historical variable interest rates of other debt obligations that would have been temporarily reduced using proceeds from such offerings. If the variable interest rates used to determine the pro forma adjustments to interest expense were 1/8% higher, the pro forma reduction in interest expense would have been $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $16.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The pro forma adjustment to interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2003 also reflects the write-off of $1 million in prepaid debt issuance costs resulting from the repayment of Enterprise’s Interim Term Loan. The removal of the debt issuance costs is already reflected in Enterprise’s historical statement of consolidated operations for the nine months September 30, 2004; therefore, no pro forma adjustment is required for the interim period. (b) In May 2003, GulfTerra issued 80 Series F convertible units in a registered offering to an institutional investor. Each Series F convertible unit was comprised of two separate detachable units — a Series F1 convertible unit and Series F2 convertible unit — that had identical terms except for vesting and termination dates and the number of common units into which they could be converted upon payment of the calculated purchase price per common unit. Prior to the GulfTerra merger, all the Series F1 convertible units were converted to GulfTerra common units by the holder. As a result of the GulfTerra merger, Enterprise assumed GulfTerra’s obligation associated with the Series F2 convertible units. All Series F2 convertible units outstanding at the merger date were converted into rights to purchase Enterprise common units. The Series F2 units were convertible into up to $40 million of Enterprise common units. On October 29, 2004, 60 of the 80 outstanding Series F2 convertible units were converted into 1,458,434 Enterprise common units. On November 8, 2004, the remaining 20 outstanding Series F2 convertible units were converted into 491,883 Enterprise common units. As a result of these conversions, Enterprise received net proceeds of approximately $39.6 million, which includes the related 2% capital contributions made by Enterprise’s general partner. Enterprise used the net proceeds from these conversions for general partnership purposes. As a result of these transactions, the weighted-average number of common units outstanding increased 2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003. (c) Reflects Enterprise’s November 2004 issuance of 2,199,350 Enterprise common units in connection with its DRIP and related programs. Including our general partner’s related 2% capital contribution, total net proceeds from this offering were $49.3 million. Enterprise used the net proceeds for general partnership purposes. As a result of this offering, the weighted-average number of common units outstanding increased 2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003. (d) Reflects the pro forma adjustment to minority interest expense related to Enterprise’s restructuring of the ownership interest of its general partner from a 1% direct interest in Enterprise and a 1.0101% direct interest in the Operating Partnership to a 2% direct interest in Enterprise in December 2003. The pro forma adjustment removes $0.9 million in minority interest expense attributable to the general partner’s ownership interest in the earnings of the Operating Partnership during 2003. As a result of this adjustment, Enterprise’s allocation of earnings to its general partner increases by a similar amount. (e) Reflects the pro forma adjustment to interest expense related to the $425 million borrowed by Enterprise to finance its December 15, 2003 purchase of a 50% membership interest in GulfTerra’s general partner (Step One of the GulfTerra Merger Transactions). This transaction was financed by $225 million borrowed under Enterprise’s Interim Term Loan (which was repaid using proceeds from our May 2004 public offering of common units — see Note (a)) and $200 million borrowed under its then existing revolving credit facilities. The $425 million borrowed to complete Step One of the GulfTerra Merger Transactions was F-12

subsequently reduced by $100 million using net proceeds from a private offering of 4,413,549 Class B special units to an affiliate of EPCO in December 2003. If this net borrowing of $325 million had occurred on January 1, 2003, pro forma interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2003 would have increased by $10.5 million. In calculating the pro forma adjustment to interest expense, we used an estimated variable interest rate of 3.4%, which approximates the interest rate we are currently being charged on amounts borrowed under our Merger Credit Facilities. If this estimated interest rate were 1/8% higher, the pro forma adjustment to interest expense would be $10.9 million. Enterprise’s September 30, 2004 historical consolidated balance sheet and statement of consolidated operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 already reflect the impact of such investment in GulfTerra GP; therefore, no pro forma adjustments are required. The pro forma effect of the December 2003 issuance of Class B special units on the weighted-average number of Enterprise units outstanding was an increase of 4.2 million units for the year ended December 31, 2003. (f) Reflects the pro forma adjustment to common units outstanding resulting from the issuance of 104,549,823 Enterprise common units in the exchange with GulfTerra’s common unitholders on September 30, 2004 under Step Two of the GulfTerra Merger Transactions. The pro forma effect of these new common units on the weighted-average number of Enterprise units outstanding is an increase of 104.1 million common units for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 104.5 million common units for the year ended December 31, 2003. (g) On September 30, 2004, Enterprise borrowed approximately $2.8 billion under its Merger Credit Facilities to (i) fund $655.3 million in cash payment obligations to El Paso under Step Two and Step Three of the GulfTerra Merger Transactions, (ii) escrow $1.1 billion in cash to finance its tender offers for GulfTerra’s senior and senior subordinated notes and (iii) repay $962 million outstanding under GulfTerra’s revolving credit facility and secured term loans on the merger closing date. The pro forma adjustment to interest expense resulting from these borrowings is $42.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $62.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. In calculating the pro forma adjustment to interest expense, we used an estimated variable interest rate of 3.4%, which approximates the interest rate we are currently being charged on amounts borrowed under our Merger Credit Facilities. If this estimated interest rate were 1/8% higher, the pro forma adjustment to interest expense would be $45.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $65.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The pro forma adjustment to interest expense also reflects the removal of historical interest expense amounts recorded by GulfTerra on its revolving credit facility and secured term loans of $22.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $24.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. Enterprise’s September 30, 2004 historical balance sheet already reflects these borrowings; therefore, no pro forma adjustment is required. (h) On October 4, 2004, the Operating Partnership issued $2 billion of senior unsecured notes in a private offering. The net proceeds from this offering were used to reduce debt outstanding under the Merger F-13

Credit Facilities. The fixed-interest rate, principal amount issued and net proceeds (before offering expenses) of each senior note in this offering were as follows:
After giving effect to the application of proceeds to reduce principal amounts outstanding under our variable-rate Merger Credit Facilities, the pro forma adjustment to interest expense resulting from the issuance of these senior notes is $28.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $37.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. If the variable-rates used to calculate the reduction in interest expense associated with the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Merger Credit Facilities were 1/8% higher, the pro forma adjustment to interest expense would have been $26.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $35.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. The pro forma adjustments to Enterprise’s September 30, 2004 consolidated balance sheet reflect the issuance of these senior notes and the subsequent repayment of $2 billion in principal amounts outstanding under the Merger Credit Facilities. (i) During the first nine months of 2004, we entered into eight forward-starting interest rate swap transactions having an aggregate notional amount of $2 billion in anticipation of financing activities associated with closing the GulfTerra Merger Transactions. Our purpose in entering into these transactions was to effectively hedge the underlying U.S. treasury rate related to our expected issuance of $2 billion of fixed-rate debt. On October 4, 2004, the Operating Partnership issued $2 billion of senior unsecured notes in a private offering (see Note (h)). Each of the forward starting swaps was designated as a cash flow hedge in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. In April 2004, we elected to terminate the initial four forward-starting swaps in order to manage and maximize the value of the swaps and to reduce future debt service costs. As a result, we received $104.5 million in cash from the counterparties. In September 2004, we settled the remaining four swaps resulting in an $85.1 million payment to the counterparties. The net gain of $19.4 million from these settlements was recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and will be amortized over the life of the associated debt as a reduction in interest expense and Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income. The pro forma amortization of this gain reduced interest expense by $3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. No pro forma adjustment to the condensed consolidated balance sheet is required. (j) On October 4, 2004, all of the cash tender offers made by the Operating Partnership for any and all of GulfTerra’s outstanding senior and senior subordinated notes expired. As of the expiration time, the Operating Partnership had received tenders of such notes aggregating $915 million, or 99.3% of the notes outstanding. On October 5, 2004, the Operating Partnership purchased the notes for a total price of approximately $1.1 billion using cash held in escrow that was borrowed on September 30, 2004 under the Merger Credit Facilities. The following table shows the four GulfTerra senior debt obligations F-14

affected, including the principal amount of each series of notes tendered, as well as the payment made by Enterprise to complete the tender offers.
The pro forma adjustments to Enterprise’s September 30, 2004 consolidated balance sheet reflect the use of $1.1 billion of restricted cash to complete the tender offers. The pro forma adjustments to interest expense reflect the removal of historical interest expense amounts recorded by GulfTerra associated with such senior note obligations. These adjustments decreased pro forma fixed-rate interest expense by $56.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $75 million for the year ended December 31, 2003. (k) Reflects the pro forma depreciation and amortization adjustment for GulfTerra’s and the South Texas midstream assets’ property, plant and equipment and intangible assets based on the preliminary purchase price allocation for the GulfTerra Merger Transactions (see page F-10). For purposes of calculating pro forma depreciation expense, we applied the straight-line method using estimated remaining useful lives ranging from 10 years to 33 years (depending on the type of asset) to Enterprise’s new basis in such assets of approximately $4.7 billion. In addition, Enterprise recorded $734.6 million of amortizable intangible assets, which are primarily comprised of the fair value of certain customer relationships and storage contracts. For purposes of calculating pro forma amortization expense related to the customer relationships, we used a pattern in which the economic benefits are consumed or otherwise used as associated with the resource bases (i.e., the oil and gas reserves associated with the intangible assets) from which these customers produce. For purposes of calculating pro forma amortization expense related to the storage contracts, we applied the straight-line method to the remainder of the respective contract terms, which we estimate could range from 2 to 18 years. Overall, the pro forma depreciation and amortization expense adjustment was $103.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $153.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003, after taking into account the historical expense amounts recorded by GulfTerra and the South Texas midstream assets. (l) Reflects the pro forma adjustment to remove $20 million in merger-related expenses recorded by GulfTerra during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, including $0.4 million related to the amortization of unit options that were extinguished immediately prior to the GulfTerra merger. The pro forma adjustment for year ended December 31, 2003 reflects the removal of $1.5 million of amortization expense associated with the GulfTerra unit options. (m) In accordance with the purchase and sale agreement between Enterprise and El Paso for the South Texas midstream assets, El Paso will retain a number of natural gas liquids marketing contracts.

pro forma condensed statement of consolidated operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 includes adjustments to remove $426.6 million of revenues and $421.5 million of operating costs and expenses associated with these retained contracts. Likewise, for the year ended December 31, 2003, Enterprise’s pro forma condensed statement of consolidated operations includes adjustments to remove $431.9 million of revenues and $427.2 million of operating costs and expenses. (n) After Step Two of the GulfTerra Merger Transactions was completed on September 30, 2004, the general partner of GulfTerra became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Enterprise. This pro forma adjustment reflects the replacement of equity earnings from the general partner of GulfTerra that Enterprise recorded under Step One of the merger with consolidated earnings from GulfTerra, as if Step Two had occurred on January 1, 2003. This adjustment required the removal of $32 million of equity earnings from the general partner of GulfTerra that Enterprise recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2004. Since Enterprise’s equity in the earnings of GulfTerra GP was a loss of less than $0.1 million for December 2003, no pro forma adjustment was made for the 2003 period due to the insignificant nature of the amount. Enterprise acquired its initial 50% membership interest in the general partner of GulfTerra on December 15, 2003 under Step One of the GulfTerra Merger Transactions. (o) In connection with the GulfTerra Merger Transactions, Enterprise recorded the present value of a contract-based receivable from El Paso totaling $40.3 million, which was part of the negotiated net consideration reached in Step Two of the GulfTerra Merger Transactions. Our pro forma condensed statements of consolidated operations reflect $1.2 million and $0.8 million of imputed interest income that would have been recognized from this agreement during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and the year ended December 31, 2003, respectively.

STATEMENTS — (Continued)
Additionally, we agreed in the merger agreement with GulfTerra, subject to the terms of our partnership agreement, to increase the quarterly cash distribution for the quarterly distribution date immediately following the closing of the merger to at least $0.395 per unit, or $1.58 per common unit on an annualized basis. The increase in our quarterly cash distribution commenced with the distribution paid with respect to the third quarter of 2004. (r) Reflects subsequent purchase price adjustments and purchase price allocations associated with the GulfTerra Merger Transactions since September 30, 2004. (s) Reflects the sale in this offering of 15,000,000 Enterprise common units at an offering price of $27.05 per unit in February 2005. Total net proceeds from this sale will be approximately $396.8 million after deducting applicable underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses of $17.2 million. Included in the total net proceeds of $396.8 million is a net capital contribution made by the general partner of Enterprise of $7.9 million to maintain its 2% general partner interest in Enterprise, after deducting the general partner’s share of the underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses. For pro forma purposes, the net proceeds from this equity offering, including Enterprise’s general partner’s net capital contribution, will be used to reduce debt outstanding under the Merger Credit Facilities. As a result of our pro forma application of proceeds from this offering to reduce debt outstanding, pro forma interest expense would decrease by $10.1 million and $13.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and year ended December 31, 2003, respectively. If the variable rates used to calculate the reduction in interest expense associated with the repayment of amounts outstanding under the Merger Credit Facilities were 1/8% higher, the pro forma adjustment to interest expense would have been $10.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and $14.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2003.
