SPECTRA ENERGY PARTNERS, LP

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. General

The terms we, our, us and Spectra Energy Partners as used in this report refer collectively to Spectra Energy Partners, LP and its subsidiaries unless the
context suggests otherwise. These terms are used for convenience only and are not intended as a precise description of any separate legal entity within Spectra Energy Partners.

Nature of Operations.Spectra Energy Partners, LP, through its subsidiaries and equity affiliates is engaged in the transportation
and gathering of natural gas through interstate pipeline systems that are located in the southeastern quadrant of the United States and the storage of natural gas in underground facilities that are located in southeast Texas, south central Louisiana
and southwest Virginia. In addition, we own a 50% interest in Market Hub Partners Holding (Market Hub) and a 24.5% interest in Gulfstream Natural Gas System, L.L.C. (Gulfstream).

Basis of Presentation.The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts, our majority-owned
subsidiaries where we have control and those variable interest entities, if any, where we are the primary beneficiary. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009, and reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in our opinion, necessary to fairly present our results of operations and financial position. Amounts reported in the Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations are not necessarily indicative of amounts expected for the respective annual periods.

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

2. Acquisition

On May 4, 2009, we acquired all the ownership interests of NOARK Pipeline System Limited Partnership (NOARK) from Atlas Pipeline Partners, L.P. (Atlas) for approximately $294.5 million. NOARKs
assets consist of 100% ownership interests in Ozark Gas Transmission, L.L.C. (Ozark Gas Transmission), a 565-mile Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) regulated interstate natural gas transmission system, and Ozark Gas Gathering L.L.C. (Ozark
Gas Gathering), a 365-mile, fee-based, natural gas gathering system whose operations are regulated by the applicable state commissions. The transaction was initially funded by $218.0 million drawn on our available bank credit facility, $70.0 million
borrowed under a credit facility with a subsidiary of Spectra Energy Corp (Spectra Energy) and $6.5 million from cash on hand. This transaction was partially refinanced through the issuance of 9.8 million common units to the public,
representing limited partner interests, and 0.2 million general partner units to Spectra Energy in the second quarter of 2009. Spectra Energys ownership in us decreased from 84% to 74% as a result of the issuance of 9.8 million
common units to the public.

3. Business Segments

Our Gas Transportation and Storage segment aligns our operations with the chief operating decision makers view of
the business. This business segment is considered to be our sole reportable segment.

The Gas Transportation and Storage
segment provides interstate transportation, storage and gathering services of natural gas, and the storage and redelivery of liquefied natural gas for customers in the southeastern quadrant of the United States. Substantially all of our operations
are subject to the FERC and the Department of Transportations (DOT) rules and regulations. This segment includes East Tennessee Natural Gas, LLC (East Tennessee), Ozark Gas Transmission and Ozark Gas Gathering (collectively, hereafter referred
to as Ozark) and Saltville Gas Storage, L.L.C. (Saltville).

The remainder of our operations is presented as
Other. While it is not considered a business segment, Other primarily includes our equity investments in Gulfstream and Market Hub and certain unallocated corporate costs.

Gulfstream provides interstate natural gas pipeline transportation for customers in central and southern Florida. Gulfstreams
operations are subject to the rules and regulations of the FERC and DOT.

Market Hub owns and operates two natural gas storage
facilities, Moss Bluff and Egan, which are located in southeast Texas and south central Louisiana, respectively. Market Hubs operations are subject to the rules and regulations of DOT. Moss Bluff is also subject to the rules and regulations of
the Texas Railroad Commission, while Egan is also subject to the rules and regulations of the FERC.

Management evaluates
segment performance based on earnings before interest and taxes from continuing operations (EBIT). On a segment basis, EBIT represents all profits from continuing operations (both operating and non-operating) before deducting interest and income
taxes.

The partnership
agreement requires that, within 45 days after the end of each quarter, we distribute all of our Available Cash, as defined, to unitholders of record on the applicable record date.

Available Cash.Available Cash, for any quarter, consists of all cash on hand at the end of that quarter:



| |  |  | less the amount of cash reserves established by the general partner to:
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide for the proper conduct of business,
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | comply with applicable law, any debt instrument or other agreement, or
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | provide funds for distributions to the unitholders and to the general partner for any one or more of the next four quarters,
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | plus, if the general partner so determines, all or a portion of cash on hand on the date of determination of Available Cash for the quarter.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Subordinated Units.Our subordinated units, which were all held by wholly owned subsidiaries of
Spectra Energy, were converted into common units on a one-for-one basis effective as of August 13, 2010. The conversion of the subordinated units did not impact the amount of cash distributions paid or the total number of outstanding units. The
conversion had no impact on our calculation of net income per limited partner unit since the subordinated units were previously included in the net income per limited partner unit calculation. In addition, since there are no further subordinated
units, future distributions are shared equally among the limited partner units owned by subsidiaries of Spectra Energy and limited partner units owned by other common unitholders.

Incentive Distribution Rights.The general partner holds incentive distribution rights in accordance with the partnership
agreement as follows:



|                               |  |                              |  |                                              |    |   |                |  |    |

|Second Target Distribution     |  | above $0.345 up to $0.375    |  |                                              | 85 | % |                |  | 15 | %
|Third Target Distribution      |  | above $0.375 up to $0.45     |  |                                              | 75 | % |                |  | 25 | %
|Thereafter                     |  | above $0.45                  |  |                                              | 50 | % |                |  | 50 | %

To the extent these
incentive distributions are made to the general partner, there will be more Available Cash proportionately allocated to the general partner than to holders of common and subordinated units.

7. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

8. Goodwill

We completed our annual goodwill impairment test as of April 1, 2010 and no impairments were identified. All of our goodwill is in
our Gas Transportation and Storage segment, and there have been no additions, amortization or other changes in the carrying amount of goodwill since December 31, 2009.

We primarily use a discounted cash flow analysis to determine fair value for our reporting unit. Key assumptions in the determination of fair value include the use of an appropriate discount rate and
estimated future cash flows. In estimating cash flows, we incorporate expected long-term growth rates in key markets served by our operations, regulatory stability, and the ability to renew contracts, as well as other factors that affect our
revenue, expense and capital expenditure projections.

The credit facility
prohibits us from making distributions of Available Cash to unitholders if any default or event of default, as defined, exists. In addition, the credit facility contains covenants, among others, limiting our ability to make other restricted
distributions or dividends on account of the purchase, redemption, retirement, acquisition, cancellation or termination of partnership interests, and is also subject to certain financial covenants. These financial covenants include financial
leverage and interest coverage ratios. The terms of the credit agreement require us to maintain a ratio of total debt to Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA), as defined in the credit agreement, of 5.0 or
less. The terms of the credit agreement also require us to maintain a ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to interest expense of 2.5 or greater. As of September 30, 2010, we were in compliance with those covenants. The credit facility does not contain
provisions that trigger an acceleration of indebtedness based solely on the occurrence of a material adverse change in our financial condition or results of operations.

In addition to the credit facility, long-term debt includes East Tennessees 5.71% unsecured notes payable totaling $150.0 million as of both September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009. East
Tennessees debt agreement contains financial covenants which limit the amount of debt that can be outstanding as a percentage of total capital. Failure to maintain the covenants could require East Tennessee to immediately pay down the
outstanding balance. As of September 30, 2010, East Tennessee was in compliance with those covenants. In addition, the debt agreement allows for acceleration of payments or termination of the agreements due to nonpayment, or to the acceleration
of other significant indebtedness. The debt agreement does not contain provisions that trigger an acceleration of indebtedness based solely on the occurrence of a material adverse change.

10. Fair Value Measurements

Level 2 Valuation
Techniques. Fair values of our financial instruments, which include interest rate swaps, are determined based on market-based prices. These valuations may include inputs such as quoted market prices of the exact or similar instruments or
alternative pricing sources that may include models or matrix pricing tools, with reasonable levels of price transparency. For interest rate swaps, we utilize data obtained from multiple sources for the determination of fair value. Both the future
cash flows for the fixed-leg and floating-leg of our swaps are discounted to present value. In addition, credit default swap rates are used to develop the adjustments for credit risk embedded in our positions. We believe that since some of the
inputs and assumptions for the calculations of fair value are derived from observable market data, a Level 2 classification is appropriate.

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

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

11. Commitments and Contingencies

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

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

12. Risk Management and Hedging Activities

We are exposed to the impact of changes in interest rates as a result of our issuance of variable and fixed-rate debt. We manage our interest rate exposure by limiting our variable-rate exposures and by
monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates. We also enter into financial derivative instruments, including, but not limited to, interest rate swaps to manage and mitigate interest rate risk exposure.

We use pay fixedreceive floating interest rate swaps to mitigate our exposure to variable interest rates on loans
outstanding under our revolving credit facility. During the second quarter of 2010, we settled our two-year interest rate swap agreements with Spectra Energy on $25.0 million of loans outstanding under the revolving credit facility, thereby reducing
our total notional amount from $180.0 million as of December 31, 2009 to $155.0 million as of September 30, 2010. Other than these interest rate swaps, we did not have any derivatives outstanding during the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2010.

13. New Accounting Pronouncement

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

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

|Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
|------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

INTRODUCTION

Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Executive Overview

For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we reported net income of $38.4 million compared to $40.4 million for the comparable
period in 2009. The decrease resulted from a third quarter 2009 revenue benefit at the Ozark gas transmission system due to an opportunity to transport additional gas related to another companys pipeline outage. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2010 and 2009, we reported net income of $110.7 million and $102.5 million, respectively. The increase was due primarily to the acquisition of the Ozark assets in May 2009 and increased earnings from expansion at Gulfstream. For
the nine months ended September 30, 2010, cash available for distribution was $139.5 million.

During the first quarter
of 2010, East Tennessee Natural Gas executed a precedent agreement with the Tennessee Valley Authority for the Northeastern Tennessee Project (NET), and filed the related certificate application with the FERC. In July 2010, the FERC issued the
environmental assessment and in October 2010, the project received full FERC certification. This project will provide 150,000 dekatherms per day (Dth/d) of gas service to a generation plant in Hawkins County, Tennessee. The initial in-service
date is expected to be in the third quarter of 2011.

Gulfstreams Phase V project was granted its FERC certificate in the
first quarter of 2010 and is under construction. The capacity expansion projects at Market Hub continue to progress. On Ozark, there has been a combination of contract renewals, extensions and new customers, along with notices of termination on
certain contracts that expire at the end of the first quarter of 2011. We currently estimate that 2011 operating revenues and cash flows from operations could be reduced by approximately $10 million as a result of this net Ozark customer
activity.

We estimate total capital expansion expenditures of $40 million in 2010 and $140 million in 2011. These projections
reflect a decrease of $20 million in 2010 from previous estimates, primarily related to cost savings for the multi-year Market Hub expansion projects and moving certain costs for the NET project into 2011.

A cash distribution of $0.44 per limited partner unit was declared in October 2010 and is payable on November 12, 2010, representing
a 2.3% increase over the previous distribution of $0.43 per limited partner unit paid in August 2010. The Spectra Energy Partners board evaluates each individual quarterly distribution decision based on an assessment of growth in cash available
for distribution. Growth in our cash available for distribution over time is dependent on identification of incremental opportunities for organic expansion, third party acquisitions or acquisitions from Spectra Energy.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2010 compared to same period in 2009

Operating Revenues.The $0.8 million decrease was driven primarily by $1.7 million of a third quarter 2009 revenue benefit at the
Ozark gas transmission system due to an opportunity to transport additional gas related to another companys pipeline outage, partially offset by higher 2010 revenues of $0.8 million at East Tennessee due to increased contracted volumes.

Operating, Maintenance and Other Expense.The $1.0 million increase was driven primarily by:



| |  |  | a $1.0 million increase due to timing of benefit costs within the year,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $0.7 million increase from lower pipeline fuel recoveries by East Tennessee, and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $0.4 million increase in pipeline integrity costs due to timing, partially offset by
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $1.0 million decrease in ad valorem taxes due to a favorable 2010 valuation true-up in the third quarter of 2010.

GulfstreamOwned 24.5%

Gulfstreams net income was relatively flat at $33.8 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $33.9 million for the same period in 2009. The slight decrease was
driven primarily by:



| |  |  | a $0.7 million increase in operating, maintenance and other expense due primarily to higher labor, overhead and insurance costs, and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $0.9 million decrease in other income and expense primarily driven by a decrease in the equity portion of allowance for funds used during
construction (AFUDC) due to higher capital expenditures in 2009 for Phase III expansion projects and a decrease resulting from a receipt in 2009 for capital work performed on behalf of a customer, offset by
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $1.6 million increase in revenues primarily from short-term firm contracts and higher interruptible service revenues resulting from favorable market
conditions.

Market HubOwned 50%

Market Hubs net income decreased $0.4 million to $20.3 million for the three-month period ended September 30,
2010 compared to $20.7 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease was driven primarily by:



| |  |  | a $1.2 million increase in operating and maintenance expense due primarily to lower net fuel recovery and higher benefits costs, partially offset by
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $0.6 million increase in revenues resulting from the continued phase-in of the Egan Cavern 3 storage expansion, partially offset by lower demand for
hub services compared to prior year, and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $0.6 million decrease in ad valorem taxes primarily due to a higher favorable ad valorem valuation true-up in 2010.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010 compared to same period in 2009

Operating Revenues.The $20.2 million increase was driven primarily by $16.4 million from the acquisition of the Ozark assets in
May 2009 and higher revenues of $3.6 million at East Tennessee due to increased contracted volumes in 2010.

Operating,
Maintenance and Other Expense.The $12.8 million increase was driven primarily by:



| |  |  | an $8.7 million increase in operating costs associated with the Ozark assets acquired in May 2009,
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $2.1 million increase in benefit costs, including costs related to Ozark,
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $1.8 million increase from lower pipeline fuel recoveries by East Tennessee,
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $1.4 million increase due to the timing of pipeline integrity and other maintenance costs, and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $0.7 million increase in bad debt expenses primarily due to a reversal of a bad debt provision in 2009, partially offset by
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $2.9 million decrease as a result of 2009 transaction costs associated with the Ozark acquisition.

GulfstreamOwned 24.5%

Gulfstreams net income increased $7.1 million to $96.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30,
2010 compared to $89.8 million for the same period in 2009. The increase was driven primarily by:



| |  |  | a $18.5 million increase in revenues primarily from the Phase III expansion contracts that were fully ramped up by June 2009, short-term firm contracts
and higher park and loan activity due to colder weather increasing the demand for natural gas in the first quarter of 2010, partially offset by
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $1.5 million increase in operating, maintenance and other expense related primarily to higher 2009 ad valorem tax valuation adjustment,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | an $8.7 million increase in interest expense attributable to the $300.0 million debt issued in May 2009 by Gulfstream, and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Market HubOwned 50%

Market Hubs net income decreased $1.6 million to $60.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2010 compared to $62.2 million for the same period in 2009. The decrease was driven
primarily by:



| |  |  | a $4.4 million decrease in hub services revenues due to lower demand compared to the prior year quarter, and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $1.4 million increase in operating and maintenance expense due primarily to lower capitalized overhead costs resulting from lower capital
expenditures in 2010 and lower net fuel recovery, partially offset by
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $2.5 million increase in net earnings related to the continued phased-in of the Egan Cavern 3 storage expansion (comprised of $6.1 million revenues,
$1.3 million operating, maintenance and other expenses and $2.3 million depreciation expense),
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $0.8 million decrease in ad valorem taxes primarily due to a higher favorable ad valorem valuation true-up in 2010, and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a $0.6 million increase in other income and expenses, net primarily due to a 2010 right-of-way granted to a third party at Moss Bluff.

Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Available
for Distribution

Adjusted EBITDA

We define our Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) as Net Income plus Interest Expense, Income Taxes and Depreciation and Amortization less our Equity in
Earnings of Gulfstream and Market Hub, Interest Income, and Other Income and Expenses, Net, which primarily consists of non-cash AFUDC. Our Adjusted EBITDA is not a presentation made in accordance with GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA excludes some,
but not all, items that affect net income and is defined differently by companies in our industry, our definition of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an
alternative to Net Income, Operating Income, cash from operations or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted EBITDA is used as a supplemental financial measure by our management and by external users of our financial statements to assess:



| |  |  | the financial performance of assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability to generate cash sufficient to pay interest on indebtedness and to make distributions to partners; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to those of other publicly traded limited partnerships that own energy infrastructure
assets, without regard to financing methods and capital structure.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Significant drivers of variances in
Adjusted EBITDA between the periods presented are substantially the same as those previously discussed under Results of Operations.

Cash Available for Distribution

We define Cash Available for Distribution as our Adjusted EBITDA plus Cash Available for Distribution from Gulfstream and Market Hub and net preliminary project costs, less net cash paid for interest
expense, cash paid for income tax expense, and maintenance capital expenditures, excluding the impact of reimbursable projects. Cash Available for Distribution does not reflect changes in working capital balances. Cash Available for Distribution for
Gulfstream and Market Hub is defined on a basis consistent with us. Cash Available for Distribution should not be viewed as indicative of the actual amount of cash we plan to distribute for a given period.

Cash Available for Distribution should not be considered an alternative to Net Income, Operating Income, cash from operations or any
other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Cash Available for Distribution excludes some, but not all, items that affect Net Income and Operating Income and these measures may vary among other companies.
Therefore, Cash Available for Distribution as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Significant drivers of variances in Cash Available for Distribution between the periods presented are substantially the same as those
previously discussed under Results of Operations. Other drivers include the timing of certain cash outflows, such as capital expenditures for maintenance and the scheduled payments of interest.

Goodwill Impairment Test

We completed our annual goodwill impairment test as of April 1, 2010 and no impairments were identified. All of our
goodwill is in our Gas Transportation and Storage segment, and there have been no additions, amortization or other changes in the carrying amount of goodwill since December 31, 2009.

We primarily use a discounted cash flow analysis to determine fair value for our reporting unit. Key assumptions in the determination of
fair value include the use of an appropriate discount rate and estimated future cash flows. In estimating cash flows, we incorporate expected long-term growth rates in key markets served by our operations, regulatory stability, and the ability to
renew contracts, as well as other factors that affect our revenue, expense and capital expenditure projections.

The long-term
growth rates used for our reporting unit reflect continued expansion of our assets, driven by new natural gas supplies such as shale gas and increasing demand for natural gas transportation capacity on our pipeline systems. We assumed a
weighted-average long-term growth rate of 3% for our 2010 goodwill impairment analysis. Had we assumed a 1% lower growth rate for our reporting unit, there would have been no impairment of goodwill.

We continue to monitor the effects of the economic downturn that global economies are currently facing on the long-term cost of capital
utilized to calculate our reporting unit fair value. We assumed a weighted-average cost of capital that market participants would use in evaluating our business of 9.4% for our 2010 goodwill impairment analysis. Had we assumed a 100 basis point
increase in the weighted-average cost of capital for our reporting unit, there would have been no impairment of goodwill.

LIQUIDITY AND
CAPITAL RESOURCES

We will rely primarily upon cash flows from operations, including cash distributions received from
Gulfstream and Market Hub, an available credit facility and potential additional financing transactions to fund our liquidity and capital requirements for the next 12 months. Future financing could include long-term debt and equity issuances as
needed to fund growth opportunities. As of September 30, 2010, we had negative net working capital of $21.2 million compared to negative $8.4 million as of December 31, 2009, of which the September 30, 2010 balance included $33.0
million and the December 31, 2009 balance included $27.5 million for the note payable on demand to Market Hub.

Operating Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $144.5 million in the first nine months of 2010 compared to $110.9
million during the same period in 2009. This increase was driven primarily by earnings from the Ozark acquisition in May 2009, as well as increased distributions received from Market Hub and 2010 collection of receivables primarily at Ozark.

Investing Cash Flows

Cash flows used in investing activities totaled $32.4 million in the first nine months of 2010 compared to $235.0 million during the same period in 2009. The change was driven primarily by:



| |  |  | the $294.5 million acquisition of Ozark in 2009, partially offset by
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the $70.5 million distribution received from Gulfstream resulting from their $300.0 million debt issuance in 2009, and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $31.6 million of proceeds in 2009 from the liquidation of the remaining available-for-sale securities previously held as collateral for our term loan.
The term loan was repaid and that feature of the credit facility is no longer available.

Capital and investment expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $38.5 million
and included $27.4 million for expansion projects and $11.1 million for maintenance and other projects. We estimate 2010 capital and investment expenditures of approximately $55 million, of which $40 million is expected to be used for expansion
projects and $15 million for maintenance and other projects. These projections reflect a decrease of $20 million in 2010 from previous estimates, primarily related to cost savings for the multi-year Market Hub expansion projects and moving certain
costs for the NET project into 2011. For 2011, expansion expenditures remain projected at $140 million and primarily relate to the NET project. Given our objective of growth through acquisitions and expansions of existing assets, we anticipate that
we will continue to invest significant amounts of capital to grow and acquire assets. Expansion capital expenditures may vary significantly based on investment opportunities.

We continue to evaluate customers needs for incremental expansion opportunities at East Tennessee, Ozark, Gulfstream and Market Hub. We expect that significant natural gas infrastructure, including
both natural gas transportation and storage with links to growing gas supplies and markets, will be needed over time.

Financing Cash Flows

Net cash used in financing activities totaled $113.9 million in the first nine months of 2010 compared to $107.3 million
cash provided by in the same prior-year period. This change was driven primarily by:



| |  |  | $212.2 million of net proceeds received from the issuance of units associated with the Ozark acquisition in 2009,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $10.0 million of net payments on long-term debt in 2010, and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $23.2 million increase in distributions to partners in 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, as a result of increased distribution rates and an
increase in the number of units outstanding due to the issuance in the second quarter of 2009, partially offset by
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | $5.5 million of net proceeds on note payable to affiliates in 2010 versus $20.0 million of net payments in the same period in 2009.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Available Credit Facility and Restrictive Debt Covenants. See Note 9 of Notes to Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the available credit facility and related financial and other covenants.

Cash Distributions.As previously discussed, a cash distribution of $0.44 per limited partner unit was declared in October 2010,
payable on November 12, 2010, representing a 2.3% increase over the previous distribution of $0.43 per limited partner unit and the twelfth consecutive quarterly increase. This cash distribution represents a 10.0% increase over the distribution
of $0.40 per limited partner unit declared in October 2009.

Other Financing Matters. On August 13, 2010, all
subordinated units were converted into common units on a one-for-one basis. Since there are no subordinated units, distributions are shared equally among the limited partner units owned by subsidiaries of Spectra Energy and limited partner units
owned by other common unitholders.
