In addition to Inergys retail and wholesale propane business, Inergy also owns and operates a midstream operation including a natural gas storage facility (Stagecoach) and a natural gas liquids (NGL) business.

Our primary objective is to increase distributable cash flow to our unitholders through our ownership of partnership interests in Inergy.
Our incentive distribution rights in Inergy entitle us to receive an increasing percentage of total cash distributions made by Inergy as it reaches certain target distribution levels and have resulted in increasing cash distributions to us. In
addition, we may elect to make additional investments in Inergy which would increase our ownership interest in Inergy. The proceeds of such investments may be used by Inergy to pursue its growth strategy.

Inergys primary objective is to increase distributable cash flow to its unitholders. Inergy has primarily grown through acquisitions of retail
propane operations. Since the inception of Inergys predecessor in 1996 through September 30, 2006, Inergy has acquired 59 companies for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.4 billion, including working capital, assumed
liabilities and acquisition costs. The acquisitions include the assets and liabilities of ten propane companies acquired during fiscal 2006 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $186.3 million. Inergy further intends to pursue its growth
objectives through, among other things, future acquisitions, maintaining a high percentage of retail sales to residential customers, operating in attractive markets and focusing its operations under established, locally recognized trade names.

Our aggregate partnership interests in Inergy as of September 30, 2006, consist of the following:



| |  |  | a 100% ownership interest in each of the managing general partner of Inergy, which manages Inergys business and affairs, and the non-managing general partner of Inergy, which
owns an approximate 1.0% general partner interest in Inergy;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 3,787,340 Inergy common units, representing an aggregate limited partner interest in Inergy of approximately 8.4%;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | 769,941 Inergy special units, which are not entitled to a current distribution and will convert into Inergy common units at a specified conversion rate upon the commercial operation
of the Stagecoach expansion project; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | all of the incentive distribution rights in Inergy, which entitle us to receive increasing percentages, up to a maximum of 48.0%, of any cash distributed by Inergy as certain target
distribution levels are reached in excess of $0.33 per Inergy unit in any quarter.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our cash flows consist of distributions
from Inergy on the partnership interests we own. Inergy is required by its partnership agreement to distribute all of its cash on hand at the end of each quarter, less reserves established by its managing general partner in its sole discretion to
provide for the proper conduct of Inergys business or to provide for future distributions. While we, like Inergy, are structured as a limited partnership, our capital structure and cash distribution policy differ materially from those of
Inergy. Most notably, our general partner does not have an economic interest in us and is not entitled to receive any distributions from us and our capital structure does not include incentive distribution rights. Therefore, our distributions are
allocated exclusively to our common units, which is our only class of security outstanding.

The incentive distribution rights entitle us
to receive an increasing percentage of cash distributed by Inergy as certain target distribution levels are reached. They generally entitle us to receive 13.0% of all cash distributed in a quarter after each Inergy unit has received $0.33 for that
quarter, 23.0% of all cash distributed after each Inergy unit has received $0.375 for that quarter and 48.0% of all cash distributed after each Inergy unit has received $0.45 for that quarter. For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, Inergy
declared a distribution of $0.555 per unit, which resulted in our company receiving approximately $8.2 million in distributions comprised of approximately $2.1 million from the limited partnership units we own of Inergy, approximately $0.3 million
from our 1.0% non-managing general partner interest in Inergy and approximately $5.8 million from the incentive distribution rights of Inergy.

On October 24, 2006, we declared a quarterly distribution on our common units of $0.375 per limited partner unit, or $1.50 per limited partner unit on an annualized basis.

The address of our principal executive offices is Two Brush Creek Boulevard, Suite 200, Kansas City, Missouri, 64112 and our telephone number at this
location is 816-842-8181. Our common units trade on the NASDAQ National Market under the symbol NRGP. We electronically file certain documents with the SEC. We file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current

Industry Background and Competition

Propane

Propane, a by-product of natural gas processing and petroleum refining, is a clean-burning
energy source recognized for its transportability and ease of use relative to alternative stand-alone energy sources. Inergys retail propane business consists principally of transporting propane to its customer service centers and other
distribution areas and then to tanks located on its customers premises. Retail propane falls into four broad categories: residential, industrial, commercial, and agricultural. Residential customers use propane primarily for space and water
heating. Industrial customers use propane primarily as fuel for forklifts and stationary engines, to fire furnaces, as a cutting gas, in mining operations and in other process applications. Commercial customers, such as restaurants, motels,
laundries and commercial buildings, use propane in a variety of applications, including cooking, heating and drying. In the agricultural market, propane is primarily used for tobacco curing, crop drying, poultry brooding and weed control.

Propane is extracted from natural gas or oil wellhead gas at processing plants or separated from crude oil during the refining process.
Propane is normally transported and stored in a liquid state under moderate pressure or refrigeration for ease of handling in shipping and distribution. When the pressure is released or the temperature is increased, it is usable as a flammable gas.
Propane is colorless and odorless; an odorant is added to allow its detection. Propane is clean-burning, producing negligible amounts of pollutants when consumed.

The retail market for propane is seasonal because it is used primarily for heating in residential and commercial buildings. Approximately 70% of Inergys retail propane volume is sold during the peak heating
season from October through March. Consequently, sales and operating profits are generated mostly in the first and fourth calendar quarters of each calendar year.

Propane competes primarily with natural gas, electricity and fuel oil as an energy source, principally on the basis of price, availability and portability. Propane is more expensive than natural gas on an equivalent
BTU basis in locations served by natural gas, but serves as an alternative to natural gas in rural and suburban areas where natural gas is unavailable or portability of product is required. Historically, the expansion of natural gas into traditional
propane markets has been inhibited by the capital costs required to expand pipeline and retail distribution systems. Although the extension of natural gas pipelines tends to displace propane distribution in

##### Table of Contents

areas affected, Inergy believes that new opportunities for propane sales arise as more geographically remote neighborhoods are developed. Propane is
generally less expensive to use than electricity for space heating, water heating, clothes drying and cooking. Although propane is similar to fuel oil in certain applications and market demand, propane and fuel oil compete to a lesser extent than
propane and natural gas, primarily because of the cost of converting to fuel oil. The costs associated with switching from appliances that use fuel oil to appliances that use propane are a significant barrier to switching. By contrast, natural gas
can generally be substituted for propane in appliances designed to use propane as a principal fuel source.

In addition to competing with
alternative energy sources, Inergy competes with other companies engaged in the retail propane distribution business. Competition in the propane industry is highly fragmented and generally occurs on a local basis with other large full-service,
multi-state propane marketers, smaller local independent marketers and farm cooperatives. Based on industry publications, Inergy believes that the 10 largest retailers account for approximately 41% of the total retail sales of propane in the United
States, and that no single marketer has a greater than 10% share of the total retail market in the United States. Most of Inergys customer service centers compete with several marketers or distributors. Each customer service center operates in
its own competitive environment because retail marketers tend to locate in close proximity to customers. Inergys typical customer service center generally has an effective marketing radius of approximately 25 miles, although in certain rural
areas the marketing radius may be extended by a satellite location.

The ability to compete effectively further depends on the reliability
of service, responsiveness to customers and the ability to maintain competitive prices. Inergy believes that its safety programs, policies and procedures are more comprehensive than many of its smaller, independent competitors and give Inergy a
competitive advantage over such retailers. Inergy also believes that its service capabilities and customer responsiveness differentiate it from many of these smaller competitors. Inergys employees are on call 24-hours and seven-days-a-week for
emergency repairs and deliveries.

Retail propane distributors typically price retail usage based on a per gallon margin over wholesale
costs. As a result, distributors generally seek to maintain their operating margins by passing costs through to customers, thus insulating themselves from volatility in wholesale propane prices. During periods of sudden price increases in propane at
the wholesale level, distributors may be unable or unwilling to pass entire cost increases through to customers. In these cases, significant decreases in per gallon margins may result.

The propane distribution industry is characterized by a large number of relatively small, independently owned and locally operated distributors. Each
year, a significant number of these local distributors have sought to sell their business for reasons that include, among others, retirement and estate planning. In addition, the propane industry faces increasing environmental regulations and
escalating capital requirements needed to acquire advanced, customer-oriented technologies. Primarily as a result of these factors, the industry is undergoing consolidation, and Inergy, as well as other national and regional distributors, have been
active consolidators in the propane market. In recent years, an active, competitive market has existed for the acquisition of propane assets and businesses. Inergy expects this acquisition market to continue for the foreseeable future.

The wholesale propane business is highly competitive. Inergys competitors in the wholesale business include producers and independent regional
wholesalers. Inergy believes that its wholesale supply and distribution business provides it with a stronger regional presence and a reasonably secure, efficient supply base, and positions it well for expansion through acquisitions or start-up
operations in new markets.

Midstream

Inergy owns, as part of its midstream operations, a high-performance, multi-cycle natural gas storage facility (Stagecoach) in New York which it acquired in August 2005. Inergy also owns a natural gas liquids business in California, which
includes natural gas processing, NGL fractionation, NGL rail and truck terminals, bulk storage, trucking and marketing operations. Inergy believes these businesses complement its existing wholesale and supply operations and provide it with added
long-term strategic benefits.

Natural Gas Storage Business

According to the National Petroleum Councils 2003 report, Balancing Natural Gas Policy, natural gas supplies approximately 25% of U.S. energy, generating about 19% of electric power, supplying heat to
over 60 million households, and providing over 40% of all primary energy for industries. In recent years there has been a fundamental shift in the natural gas supply and demand balance that has resulted in higher and more volatile prices. This
is due in part to the following factors:



| |  |  | the growing demand by more seasonal users such as the residential/commercial and the power generation customer segments; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | conflicts in public policy that in certain instances prohibit or limit the exploration and access to gas-prone areas and hinder the pipeline and infrastructure development.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Underground natural gas storage facilities are a critical component of the North American natural gas transmission and
distribution system. They provide an essential reliability cushion against unexpected disruptions in supply, transportation or markets, and allow for the warehousing of gas to meet expected seasonal and daily variability in demand. According to the
Energy Information Administration, U.S. natural gas consumption is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 1.0% through 2025.

Most forecasts of North American natural gas supply and demand suggest a continuation of trends that will result in increased demand for natural gas storage capacity. Seasonal and weather sensitive demand sectors
(residential and commercial heating demand and gas-fired power generation demand) have been growing and are expected to continue to do so, while the less seasonal industrial demand has been declining. Natural gas supply, meanwhile, has become almost
entirely non-seasonal, requiring greater reliance on natural gas storage to respond to demand variability. On average, total North American natural gas consumption levels are approximately 40% higher in the winter months than summer months primarily
due to the requirements of residential and commercial market sectors. These markets are very temperature sensitive with demand being highly variable both on a seasonal and a daily basis thus requiring that storage be capable of providing high
maximum daily deliverability on the coldest days when storage due to infrastructure constraints provides as much as 50% of the markets total requirement. Analysis has shown that seasonal winter demand has continued to show steady growth even
though warmer winter temperature trends have muted the full impact of this increasing demand. Gas storage has facilitated the creation of a natural gas industry that is characterized by a production profile that is largely non-seasonal and a
consumption profile that is highly seasonal and weather sensitive. Natural gas storage is essential in reallocating this inherent supply and demand imbalance.

In the natural gas storage business, there are significant barriers to entry, particularly in depleted reservoir storage such as the Stagecoach facility. Barriers include:

Geology: rock quality, depth, containment and reservoir size heavily influence development opportunities;

Geography: proximity to existing pipeline infrastructure, surface development, and complicated land ownership all combine to further increase the
difficulty in developing and operating natural gas storage facilities;

Specialized skills: finding and retaining qualified and
skilled natural gas storage professionals is a challenge in todays competitive job market in the oil & gas sectors due to the specialized nature of the skills required; and

Development costs: costs for new natural gas storage capacity development have continued to increase.

Although there are significant barriers to entry within the natural gas storage industry, competition is robust. Competition for natural gas storage is
primarily based on location, connectivity, and the ability to deliver natural gas in a timely and reliable manner. Inergys natural gas storage facility competes with other means of natural gas storage, including other depleted reservoir
facilities, salt dome storage facilities, and liquefied natural gas and pipelines.

##### Table of Contents

Storage capacity is held by a wide variety of market participants for a variety of purposes such as:

Reliability: local distribution companies (LDCs) hold the bulk of capacity and tend to use it in a manner relatively
insensitive to gas prices, injecting gas into storage during the summer to meet fairly well-defined inventory targets, and withdrawing it in winter to meet peak load requirements while retaining a sufficient cushion of inventory to meet worst-case,
late winter demands. For such customers with an obligation to serve core end use markets, the value of storage may be significantly greater than the price differential between winter and summer gas. LDCs will pay the price to secure the natural gas
storage they need up to the cost of alternatives (i.e., long haul pipeline capacity or above-ground storage).

Efficiency: pipeline
operators use storage capacity for system balancing requirements and to manage maintenance schedules, as well as to provide storage services to shippers on their systems. Producers use capacity to minimize production fluctuations and to manage
market commitments. Power generators use storage capacity to provide swing capability for their plants that experience high daily and even hourly variability of requirements.

Arbitrage: energy merchants and other trading entities use storage for gas price arbitrage purposes, buying and injecting gas at times of low gas
prices and withdrawing at times of higher prices as driven by the fundamentals of the natural gas market.

The value of natural gas storage
is a reflection of its critical role in providing the North American natural gas market with a degree of supply reliability, flexibility, and seasonal and daily demand balancing.

NGL Business

In general, natural gas produced at the wellhead contains, along with methane, various
NGLs. This rich natural gas in its raw form is usually not acceptable for transportation in the nations major natural gas pipeline systems or for commercial use as a fuel. Natural gas processing separates, for the most part, the
NGLs from the methane, and delivers the methane to the local natural gas pipelines. NGLs are retained for further processing within Inergys fractionation facility.

NGL fractionation facilities separate mixed NGL streams into discrete NGL products: ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane, and natural gasoline. The three primary sources of mixed NGLs fractionated in the United
States are (i) domestic natural gas processing plants, (ii) domestic crude oil refineries and (iii) imports of butane and propane mixtures. The mixed NGLs delivered from domestic natural gas processing plants and crude oil refineries
to our NGL fractionation facility are typically transported by NGL pipelines and, to a lesser extent, by railcar and truck.

NGL products
(ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane and natural gasoline) are typically used as raw materials by the petrochemical industry, feedstocks by refiners in the production of motor gasoline and by industrial and residential users as fuel. Ethane is
primarily used in the petrochemical industry as feedstock for ethylene production, one of the basic building blocks for a wide range of plastics and other chemical products. Propane is used both as a petrochemical feedstock in the production of
ethylene and propylene and as a heating, engine and industrial fuel. Normal butane is used as a petrochemical feedstock in the production of ethylene and butadiene (a key ingredient of synthetic rubber), as a blendstock for motor gasoline and to
derive isobutane through isomerization. Isobutane is fractionated from mixed butane (a mixed stream of normal butane and isobutane) or produced from normal butane through the process of isomerization, principally for use in refinery alkylation to
enhance the octane content of motor gasoline, in the production of iso-octane, and in the production of propylene oxide. Natural gasoline, a mixture of pentanes and heavier hydrocarbons, is primarily used as a blendstock for motor gasoline or as a
petrochemical feedstock.

Inergys NGL business located near Bakersfield, CA encounters competition from fully integrated oil
companies, and independent NGL market participants. Each of Inergys competitors has varying levels of financial and personnel resources, and competition generally revolves around price, service and location. The



7

##### Table of Contents

majority of Inergys NGL processing and fractionation activities are processing mixed NGL streams for third-party customers and to support its NGL
marketing activities under fee-based arrangements. These fees (typically in cents per gallon) are subject to adjustment for changes in certain fractionation expenses, including natural gas fuel costs. Inergys integrated midstream energy asset
system affords it flexibility in meeting customers needs. While many companies participate in the natural gas processing business, few have a presence in significant downstream activities such as NGL fractionation and transportation, and NGL
marketing as Inergy does. Inergys competitive position and presence in these downstream businesses allows it to extract incremental value while offering customers enhanced services, including comprehensive service packages.

Business Strategy

Inergys primary objective is
to increase distributable cash flow for its unitholders, while maintaining the highest level of commitment and service to its customers. Inergy intends to pursue this objective by capitalizing on what it believes are its competitive strengths as
follows:

Proven Acquisition Expertise

Since Inergys predecessors inception and through September 30, 2006, Inergy has acquired and successfully integrated 59 companies57 propane companies and 2 midstream businesses. Inergys executive officers and
key employees, each of whom average more than 15 years experience in the propane and energy-related industries, have developed business relationships with retail propane owners and businesses as well as other midstream industry participants
throughout the United States. These significant industry contacts have enabled Inergy to negotiate most of its acquisitions on an exclusive basis. Inergy believes that this acquisition expertise should allow it to continue to grow through strategic
and accretive acquisitions. Inergys acquisition program will continue to seek:



| |  |  | businesses that generate distributable cash flow that is accretive to Inergy common unitholders on a per unit basis;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | midstream businesses that generate predictable, stable fee-based cash flow streams;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | propane and midstream businesses in attractive market areas;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | propane businesses with established names with reputations for customer service and reliability;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | propane businesses with high concentration of propane sales to residential customers; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | retention of key employees in acquired businesses.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------

High Percentage of
Retail Sales to Residential Customers

Inergys retail propane operations concentrate on sales to residential customers.
Residential customers tend to generate higher margins and are generally more stable purchasers than other customers. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, sales to residential customers represented approximately 69% of Inergys
retail propane gallons sold. Although overall demand for propane is affected by weather and other factors, Inergy believes that residential propane consumption is not materially affected by general economic conditions because most residential
customers consider home space heating to be an essential purchase. In addition, Inergy owns nearly 90% of the propane tanks located at its customers homes. In many states, fire safety regulations restrict the refilling of a leased tank solely
to the propane supplier that owns the tank. These regulations, which require customers to switch propane tanks when they switch suppliers, help enhance the stability of Inergys customer base because of the inconvenience and costs involved with
switching tanks and suppliers.

Regional Branding

Inergy believes that its success in maintaining customer stability at its customer service centers results from Inergys operation under established, locally recognized trade names. Inergy attempts to capitalize
on the

reputation of the companies it acquires by retaining their local brand names and employees, thereby preserving the goodwill of the acquired business and
fostering employee loyalty and customer retention. Inergy expects its local branch management to continue to manage its marketing programs, new business development, customer service and customer billing and collections. Inergy believes that its
employee incentive programs encourage efficiency and allow it to control costs at the corporate and field levels.

A majority of Inergys propane operations are concentrated in attractive propane market areas, where natural gas
distribution is not cost-effective, margins are relatively stable, and tank control is relatively high. Inergy intends to pursue acquisitions in similar attractive markets.

Strong Wholesale Supply, Marketing and Distribution Business

One of Inergys distinguishing
strengths is its procurement and distribution expertise and capabilities. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, Inergy delivered approximately 365.3 million gallons of propane on a wholesale basis to independent dealers, multistate
marketers, petrochemical companies, refinery and gas processors and a number of other NGL marketing and distribution companies. These operations are significantly larger on a relative basis than the wholesale operations of most publicly-traded
propane businesses. Inergy also provides transportation services to these distributors through its fleet of transport vehicles, and price risk management services to its customers through a variety of financial and other instruments. The presence of
Inergys trucks serving its wholesale customers allows Inergy to take advantage of various pricing and distribution inefficiencies that exist in the market from time to time. Inergy believes its wholesale business enables it to obtain valuable
market intelligence and awareness of potential acquisition opportunities. Because Inergy sells on a wholesale basis to many residential and commercial retailers, Inergy has an ongoing relationship with a large number of businesses that may be
attractive acquisition opportunities for it. Inergy believes that it will have an adequate supply of propane to support its growing retail operations at prices that are generally available only to large wholesale purchasers. This purchasing scale
and resulting expertise also helps Inergy avoid shortages during periods of tight supply to an extent not generally available to other retail propane distributors.

Flexible Financial Structure

Inergy has a $350 million revolving credit facility for acquisitions and a $75 million
revolving working capital facility. As of November 1, 2006, Inergy had available capacity of approximately $328.5 million under its facilities. Inergy believes its available capacity under these facilities combined with its ability to fund
acquisitions through the issuance of additional partnership interests will provide a flexible financial structure that will facilitate its acquisition strategy.

Operations

Inergys operations reflect two reportable segments: propane operations and midstream operations.

Retail Propane

Customer Service Centers

As of November 1, 2006, Inergy distributed propane to approximately 700,000 retail customers from 341 customer service centers in 28 states. Inergy markets propane primarily in rural areas, but also has a
significant number of customers in suburban areas where energy alternatives to propane such as natural gas are generally not available. Inergy markets its propane primarily in the eastern half of the United States through its customer service
centers using multiple regional brand names. The following table shows Inergys customer service centers by state:

From its customer service centers, Inergy also sells, installs and services equipment related to
its propane distribution business, including heating and cooking appliances. Typical customer service centers consist of an office and service facilities, with one or more 12,000 to 30,000 gallon bulk storage tanks. Some of Inergys customer
service centers also have an appliance showroom. Inergy has several satellite facilities that typically contain only large capacity storage tanks. As of November 1, 2006, Inergy had approximately 30.6 million gallons of above-ground
propane storage capacity at its customer service centers and satellite locations.

Customer Deliveries

Retail deliveries of propane are usually made to customers by means of Inergys fleet of bobtail and rack trucks. Propane is pumped from the bobtail truck, which generally holds 2,500 to 3,000 gallons, into a
stationary storage tank at the customers premises. The capacity of these tanks ranges from 100 gallons to 1,200 gallons, with a typical tank having a capacity of 100 to 300 gallons in milder climates and 500 to 1,000 gallons in colder
climates. Inergy also delivers propane to retail customers in portable cylinders, which typically have a capacity of five to thirty-five gallons. These cylinders typically are picked up by Inergy and replenished at its distribution locations, then
returned to the retail customer. To a limited extent, Inergy also delivers propane to certain customers in larger trucks known as transports, which have an average capacity of approximately 10,000 gallons. These customers include industrial
customers, large-scale heating accounts and large agricultural accounts.

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, Inergy
delivered approximately half of its propane volume to retail customers and half to wholesale customers. Inergys retail volume sold to residential, industrial and commercial, and agricultural customers were as follows:



| |  |  | approximately 69% to residential customers;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------



| |  |  | approximately 23% to industrial and commercial customers; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | approximately 8% to agricultural customers.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------

No single
retail customer accounted for more than 1% of Inergys revenue during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.

Approximately
half of Inergys residential customers receive their propane supply under an automatic delivery program. Under the automatic delivery program, Inergy delivers propane to its heating customers approximately six times during the year. Inergy
determines the amount of propane delivered based on weather conditions and historical consumption patterns. Inergys automatic delivery program eliminates the customers need to make an affirmative purchase decision, promotes customer
retention by ensuring an uninterrupted supply and enables Inergy to efficiently route deliveries on a regular basis. Inergy promotes this program by offering level payment billing, discounts, fixed price options and price caps. In addition, Inergy
provides emergency service 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year.

Seasonality

The retail propane business is seasonal with weather conditions significantly affecting demand for propane. Inergy believes that the geographic diversity
of its areas of operations helps to minimize its exposure to regional weather. Although overall demand for propane is affected by climate, changes in price and other factors, Inergy believes its residential and commercial business to be relatively
stable due to the following characteristics:



| |  |  | residential and commercial demand for propane has been relatively unaffected by general economic conditions due to the largely non-discretionary nature of most propane purchases by
Inergys customers;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | loss of customers to competing energy sources has been low;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the tendency of customers to remain with Inergy due to the product being delivered pursuant to a regular delivery schedule and to Inergys ownership of nearly 90% of the
storage tanks utilized by its customers; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Inergys ability to offset customer losses through a combination of acquisitions and to a lesser extent, sales to new customers in existing markets.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since home heating usage is the most sensitive to temperature, residential customers account for the greatest usage variation due to weather.
Variations in the weather in one or more regions in which Inergy operates,

however, can significantly affect the total volumes of propane it sells and the margins it realizes and, consequently, its results of operations. Inergy
believes that sales to the commercial and industrial markets, while affected by economic patterns, are not as sensitive to variations in weather conditions as sales to residential and agricultural markets.

Transportation Assets, Truck Fabrication and Maintenance

Inergys transportation assets are operated by L&L Transportation, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Inergy Propane, LLC. The transportation of propane requires specialized equipment. Propane trucks carry specialized steel tanks
that maintain the propane in a liquefied state. As of September 30, 2006, Inergy owned a fleet of approximately 129 tractors, 219 transports, 1,158 bobtail and rack trucks and 644 other service vehicles. In addition to supporting its retail and
wholesale propane operations, Inergys fleet is also used to deliver butane and ammonia for third parties and to distribute natural gasoline for various processors and refiners.

Inergy owns truck fabrication and maintenance facilities located in Indiana, Florida, and Texas. Inergy also has a trucking operation located in
California as part of its NGL business. Inergy believes that its ability to build and maintain the trucks it uses in its propane operations significantly reduces the costs Inergy would otherwise incur in purchasing and maintaining its fleet of
trucks.

Pricing Policy

Inergys
pricing policy is an essential element in its successful marketing of propane. Inergy bases its pricing decisions on, among other things, prevailing supply costs, local market conditions and local management input. Inergy relies on its regional
management to set prices based on these factors. Inergys local managers are advised regularly of any changes in the posted prices of its propane suppliers. Inergy believes its propane pricing methods allow it to respond to changes in supply
costs in a manner that protects its customer base and gross margins. In some cases, however, Inergys ability to respond quickly to cost increases could cause its retail prices to rise more rapidly than those of its competitors, possibly
resulting in a loss of customers.

Billing and Collection Procedures

Inergy retains its customer billing and account collection responsibilities at the local level. Inergy believes that this decentralized approach is beneficial for a number of reasons:



| |  |  | customers are billed on a timely basis;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | customers are more likely to pay a local business;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | cash payments are received faster; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | local personnel have current account information available to them at all times in order to answer customer inquiries.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trademarks and Trade Names

Inergy uses a variety of
trademarks and trade names which it owns, including Inergy and Inergy Services. Inergy believes that its strategy of retaining the names of the companies it has acquired has maintained the local identification of such
companies and has been important to the continued success of the acquired businesses. Inergys most significant tradenames that it operates under are Arrow Gas, Blue Flame, Bradley Propane, Burnwell
Gas, Country Gas, Dowdle Gas, Gaylord Gas, Hancock Gas, Highland Propane, Hoosier Propane, Independent Propane, Maingas, McCracken,
Modern Gas, Moulton Gas Service, Northwest Energy, Ohio Gas, Pearl Gas, Pro Gas, Pulver Gas, United Propane, and Tru-Gas. Inergy regards its
trademarks, trade names and other proprietary rights as valuable assets and believes that they have significant value in the marketing of its products.

Wholesale Supply, Marketing and Distribution Operations

Inergy currently provides wholesale supply, marketing and distribution services to independent dealers, multi-state marketers, petrochemical companies,
refinery and gas processors and a number of other NGL marketing and distribution companies, primarily in the Midwest and Southeast. While its wholesale supply, marketing and distribution operations accounted for approximately 27% of total revenue,
this business represented approximately 3% of Inergys gross profit during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.

Marketing and
Distribution

One of Inergys distinguishing strengths is its procurement and distribution expertise and capabilities. Because of
the size of its wholesale operations, Inergy has developed significant procurement and distribution expertise. This is partly the result of the unique background of Inergys management team, which has significant experience in the procurement
aspects of the propane business. Inergy also offers transportation services to these distributors through its fleet of transport trucks and price risk management services to its customers through a variety of financial and other instruments.
Inergys wholesale supply, marketing and distribution business provides Inergy with an additional income stream as well as extensive market intelligence and acquisition opportunities. In addition, these operations provide Inergy with more
secure supplies and better pricing for its customer service centers. Moreover, the presence of Inergys trucks across the Midwest and Southeast allows it to take advantage of various pricing and distribution inefficiencies that exist in the
market from time to time.

Supply

Inergy obtains a substantial majority of its propane from domestic suppliers, with its remaining propane requirements provided by Canadian suppliers. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, a majority of Inergys sales
volume was purchased pursuant to contracts that have a term of one year; the balance of Inergys sales volume was purchased on the spot market. The percentage of Inergys contract purchases varies from year to year. Supply contracts
generally provide for pricing in accordance with posted prices at the time of delivery or the current prices established at major storage points, and some contracts include a pricing formula that typically is based on such market prices. Some of
these agreements provide maximum and minimum seasonal purchase guidelines.

Two suppliers, Sunoco, Inc. (14%) and Exxon Mobil Oil
Corp. (11%), accounted for approximately 25% of propane purchases during the past fiscal year. Inergy believes its contracts with these suppliers will enable it to purchase most of its supply needs at market prices and ensure adequate supply. No
other single supplier accounted for more than 10% of Inergys propane purchases in the current year.

Propane generally is transported
from refineries, pipeline terminals, storage facilities and marine terminals to Inergys approximately 600 storage facilities. Inergy accomplishes this by using its transports and contracting with common carriers, owner-operators and railroad
tank cars. Inergys customer service centers and satellite locations typically have one or more 12,000 to 30,000 gallon storage tanks, which are generally adequate to meet customer usage requirements for seven days during normal winter demand.
Additionally, Inergy leases underground storage facilities from third parties under annual lease agreements.

Inergy engages in risk
management activities in order to reduce the effect of price volatility on its product costs and to help insure the availability of propane during periods of short supply. Inergy is currently a party to propane futures transactions on the New York
Mercantile Exchange and to forward and option contracts with various third parties to purchase and sell propane at fixed prices in the future. Inergy monitors these activities through enforcement of its risk management policy.

Midstream Operations

Inergys natural gas
storage facility (Stagecoach) was acquired on August 9, 2005 and is a high performance, multi-cycle natural gas storage facility with approximately 13.25 bcf of working storage capacity of



13

##### Table of Contents

natural gas, maximum withdrawal capability of 500 MMcf/day, and maximum injection capability of 250 MMcf/day. Located approximately 150 miles northwest of
New York City, Stagecoach is currently connected to Tennessee Gas Pipeline Companys 300 Line and is a significant participant in the northeast United States natural gas distribution system. Inergy is currently working on an expansion of its
Stagecoach facility, which is expected to increase the working storage capacity of natural gas to approximately 26.35 bcf through the addition of approximately 13.1 bcf of storage to our existing 13.25 bcf working storage capacity. All necessary
regulatory approvals have been received and construction of the expansion is underway. The expanded facilities are expected to be in service by fall of 2007. Stagecoach is also expected to construct a pipeline interconnect with the proposed
Millennium Pipeline which will enhance and further diversify our supply sources and provide interruptible wheeling opportunities to its shipper community.

Inergys NGL business, located near Bakersfield, CA, currently provides natural gas gathering/processing, liquids processing and fractionation, rail and truck terminalizing, propane storage, natural gas liquids
transportation, and purchase and sale of LPG purity products.

For more information on Inergys reportable business segments, see Note
14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Employees

We have no employees. However, as of November 1, 2006, Inergy had 2,908 full-time employees and 113 part-time employees. Of the 3,021 employees, 107 were general and administrative and 2,914 were operational. Of
the operational employees, 155 were members of labor unions. Inergy believes that its relationship with its employees is satisfactory.

Government
Regulation

National Fire Protection Association Pamphlets No. 54 and No. 58, which establish rules and procedures governing
the safe handling of propane, or comparable regulations, have been adopted as the law in substantially all of the states in which Inergy operates. In some states these laws are administered by state agencies, and in others they are administered on a
county or municipal level. Regarding the transportation of propane, ammonia and butane by truck, Inergy is subject to regulations promulgated under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Act. These regulations cover the transportation of hazardous
materials and are administered by the United States Department of Transportation. Inergy conducts ongoing training programs to help ensure that its operations are in compliance with applicable regulations. Inergy maintains various permits that are
necessary to operate some of its facilities, some of which may be material to its operations. Inergys management believes that the procedures currently in effect at all of its facilities for the handling, storage and distribution of propane
and the transportation of ammonia and butane are consistent with industry standards and are in compliance in all material respects with applicable laws and regulations.

Inergys midstream operations are subject to federal, state and local regulatory authorities. Specifically, Inergys Stagecoach natural gas storage facility and related assets are subject to the regulation
of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC. This federal and state regulation extends to such matters as:



| |  |  | rate structures;
| | - |  | ----------------



| |  |  | rates of return on equity on invested capital;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | recovery of costs associated with providing services;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the services that our regulated assets are permitted to perform;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the acquisition, construction and disposition of assets; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | to an extent, the level of competition in that regulated industry.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

Under the Natural Gas Act of 1938 (NGA), FERC has authority to regulate Inergys natural
gas facilities that provide natural gas pipeline transportation services in interstate commerce, including storage services. FERCs authority to regulate those services includes the rates charged for the services, terms and conditions of
service, certification and construction of new facilities, the extension or abandonment of services and facilities, the maintenance of accounts and records, the acquisition and disposition of facilities, the initiation and discontinuation of
services, relationships with affiliated entities, and various other matters. Natural gas companies may not charge rates that have been determined not to be just and reasonable by the FERC. In addition, the FERC prohibits natural gas companies from
unduly preferring or unreasonably discriminating against any person with respect to pipeline transportation rates or terms and conditions of service. The rates and terms and conditions for such services are found in the FERC-approved tariff of
Central New York Oil and Gas Company, LLC (CNYOG), Inergys regulated subsidiary and owner of the Stagecoach facility. Pursuant to FERCs jurisdiction over rates, existing rates may be challenged by complaint and proposed rate
increases may be challenged by protest. The Stagecoach facility currently has market-based rate authority from the FERC; however, there can be no guarantee that CNYOG will be allowed to continue to operate under such a rate structure for the
remainder of the Stagecoach facilitys operating life. Any successful complaint or protest against rates charged for Stagecoach storage and related services, or CNYOGs loss of market-based rate authority, could have an adverse impact on
Inergys revenues.

In addition, the Stagecoach facilitys market-based rate authority would be subject to further review if it
acquires transportation facilities or additional storage capacity, if Inergy or one of its affiliates provides storage or transportation services in the same market area or acquires an interest in another storage field that can link Inergys
facilities to the market area or if Inergy or one of its affiliates acquire an interest in or is acquired by an interstate pipeline.

There
can be no assurance that FERC will continue to pursue its approach of pro-competitive policies as it considers matters such as pipeline rates and rules and policies that may affect rights of access to natural gas transportation capacity,
transportation and storage facilities. Any successful complaint or protest against such rates or loss of market-based rate authority could have an adverse impact on Inergys revenues associated with providing storage services.

Furthermore, FERC Order No. 2004 sets out Standards of Conduct that apply to interstate gas transmission pipelines and public utilities, governing
their relationships with energy affiliates. FERC has found that Inergy is a transmission provider and therefore subject to the requirements of Order No. 2004. However, FERC has granted Inergy an exemption from these requirements
based on the fact that Inergy is an independent storage company that: (i) is not connected with facilities of affiliated pipelines, (ii) does not exercise market power, (iii) has no exclusive franchise, (iv) has no captive rate
payers, (v) does not base its rates on its cost of service, (vi) has no guaranteed rate of return, and (vii) has no ability to cross-subsidize at-risk business with rate payer contributions.

In August, 2005, Congress enacted legislation that, among other matters, amends the NGA to make it unlawful for any entity to use any
deceptive or manipulative device or contrivance in connection with the purchase or sale of natural gas or the purchase or sale of transportation services, including storage services such as those provided by the Stagecoach facility, subject to FERC
regulation, in contravention of rules prescribed by the FERC. On January 20, 2006, the FERC issued rules implementing this provision. The rules make it unlawful for any entity, in connection with the purchase or sale of natural gas subject to
the jurisdiction of the FERC, or the purchase or sale of FERC-regulated transportation services, directly or indirectly, to use or employ any device, scheme or artifice to defraud; to make any untrue statement of material fact or omit to make any
such statement necessary to make the statements made not misleading; or to engage in any act or practice that operates as a fraud or deceit upon any entity. The new legislation also amends the NGA to give the FERC authority to impose civil penalties
for violations of the NGA up to $1,000,000 per day per violation. The new anti-manipulation rule does not apply to activities that relate only to intrastate or other non-jurisdictional sales, gas processing, or gathering, but does apply to
activities of interstate gas pipelines and storage providers, as well as



15



---

##### Table of Contents

otherwise non-jurisdictional entities, such as gas processors, to the extent the activities are conducted in connection with gas sales, purchases
or transportation subject to FERC jurisdiction. It therefore reflects an expansion of the FERCs NGA enforcement authority.

Certain
aspects of Inergys midstream operations are also subject to the Pipeline Safety Act of 2002, which provides guidelines in the area of testing, education, training and communication. In addition to pipeline integrity tests, pipeline and storage
companies are required to implement a qualification program to make certain that employees are properly trained. The United States Department of Transportation has approved Inergys qualification program. Inergy believes that it is in
substantial compliance with these requirements and has integrated appropriate aspects of the law into its Operator Qualification Program, which is in place and functioning.

Additionally, Inergy is subject to stringent federal, state and local environmental, health and safety laws and environmental regulations governing its
operations. These laws and regulations impose limitations on the discharge and emission of pollutants and establish standards for the handling of solid and hazardous wastes. Applicable laws include the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), the Clean Air Act, the Occupational Safety and Health Act, the Emergency Planning and Community Right to Know Act, the Clean Water Act and comparable state or
local statutes. CERCLA, also known as the Superfund law, imposes joint and several liability without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct on certain classes of persons that are considered to have contributed to the
release or threatened release of a hazardous substance into the environment. While propane is not a hazardous substance within the meaning of CERCLA, other chemicals used in Inergys operations may be classified as hazardous substances. Failure
to comply with these laws and regulations may result in the assessment of administrative, civil or criminal penalties, the imposition of remedial liabilities and the issuance of injunctions restricting or prohibiting Inergys activities. Inergy
has not received any notices that it has violated these environmental laws and regulations in any material respect and it has not otherwise incurred any material liability or capital expenditure thereunder.

For acquisitions that involve the purchase of real estate, Inergy conducts due diligence investigations to assess whether any material or waste has been
sold from, or stored on, or released or spilled from any of that real estate prior to its purchase. This due diligence includes questioning the seller, obtaining representations and warranties concerning the sellers compliance with
environmental laws and performing site assessments. During these due diligence investigations, Inergys employees, and, in certain cases, independent environmental consulting firms, review historical records and databases and conduct physical
investigations of the property to look for evidence of contamination, compliance violations and the existence of underground storage tanks.

Future developments, such as stricter environmental, health or safety laws and regulations, or more stringent enforcement of existing requirements could affect Inergys operations. Inergy does not anticipate that its compliance with or
liabilities under environmental, health and safety laws and regulations, including CERCLA, will require any material increase in its capital expenditures or otherwise have a material adverse effect on Inergy. To the extent that any environmental
liabilities, or environmental, health or safety laws, or regulations are made more stringent, there can be no assurance that Inergys results of operations will not be materially and adversely affected.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Risks Inherent in Our Dependence on Distributions from Inergy, L.P.

Our only cash-generating assets are our partnership interests in Inergy, L.P., and our cash flow is therefore completely dependent upon the ability of Inergy to
make distributions to its partners.

The amount of cash that Inergy can distribute to its partners each quarter, including us,
principally depends upon the amount of cash Inergy generates from its operations, which amounts of cash will fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on, among other things:



| |  |  | the temperatures in Inergys operating areas;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost to Inergy of the propane it buys for resale;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the level of competition from other propane companies, natural gas storage providers and natural gas processors; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | other energy providers and the prevailing economic conditions.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, the actual amount of cash Inergy will have available for distribution will depend on other factors, some of which are beyond its control, including:



| |  |  | the level of capital expenditures Inergy makes;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the cost of acquisitions or expansions, if any;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------



| |  |  | debt service requirements;
| | - |  | --------------------------



| |  |  | fluctuations in working capital needs;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | restrictions on distributions contained in Inergys credit facility and senior notes;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Inergys ability to borrow under its working capital facility to make distributions;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | prevailing economic conditions; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount, if any, of cash reserves established by Inergys managing general partner in its discretion for the proper conduct of business.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If Inergy reduced its per unit distribution, we would have less cash available for distribution and would probably be required to reduce our per unit
distribution. Furthermore, the amount of cash that Inergy has available for distribution depends primarily upon its cash flow, including cash flow from financial reserves and working capital borrowings, and is not solely a function of profitability,
which will be affected by non-cash items. As a result, Inergy may be able to make cash distributions during periods when Inergy records losses and may not be able to make cash distributions during periods when Inergy records net income.

To the extent we purchase additional units from Inergy, our rate of growth may be reduced.

Our business strategy includes supporting the growth of Inergy by purchasing Inergy securities or lending funds to Inergy to provide funding for the
acquisition of a business or asset or for an internal growth project. To the extent we purchase common units or securities such as the special units which are not entitled to a current distribution from Inergy, L.P., the rate of our distribution
growth may be reduced, at least in the short term, as less of our cash distributions will come from our ownership of Inergy incentive distribution rights, which distributions increase at a faster rate than those of our other securities.

The managing general partner of Inergy has the ability to limit or modify the incentive distributions we are entitled to receive in order to facilitate the
growth strategy of Inergy.

We hold incentive distribution rights in Inergy that entitle us to receive increasing percentages, up to
a maximum of 48.0%, of any cash distributed by Inergy as certain target distribution levels are reached in excess of



17



---

##### Table of Contents

$0.33 per Inergy unit in any quarter. A substantial portion of the cash flows we receive from Inergy is provided by these incentive distributions. There may
be instances in which the amount of cash we receive from the incentive distributions could limit Inergys growth through acquisitions or expansions. This is because a potential acquisition or expansion might not be accretive to Inergys
unitholders as a result of the significant portion of the cash flows attributable to such acquisition or expansion which would be paid as incentive distributions to us. By limiting the level of incentive distributions in connection with a particular
acquisition, expansion or issuance of units of Inergy, the cash flows associated with that acquisition or expansion could be accretive to Inergys unitholders as well as substantially beneficial to us. Accordingly, in order to facilitate
acquisitions and expansions by Inergy, the managing general partner of Inergy may elect to limit the incentive distributions we are entitled to receive in all instances or with respect to a particular acquisition, expansion or unit issuance
contemplated by Inergy. In doing so, the board of directors of the managing general partner would be required to consider both its fiduciary obligations to investors in Inergy as well as to us as its sole member. Our partnership agreement
specifically permits our general partner to authorize the managing general partner of Inergy to limit or modify the incentive distribution rights held by us without approval by our unitholders, if our general partner determines that such limitation
or modification does not adversely affect our limited partners in any material respect. If distributions on the incentive distribution rights were reduced for the benefit of the Inergy common units, the total amount of cash distributions we would
receive from Inergy, and therefore the amount of cash distributions we could pay to our unitholders, would be reduced.

A reduction in Inergys
distributions will disproportionately affect the amount of cash distributions to which we are currently entitled.

Our ownership of
the incentive distribution rights in Inergy entitles us to receive our pro rata share of specified percentages of total cash distributions made by Inergy with respect to any particular quarter only in the event that Inergy distributes more than
$0.33 per unit for such quarter. As a result, the holders of Inergys common units have a priority over the holders of Inergys incentive distribution rights to the extent of cash distributions by Inergy up to and including $0.33 per unit
for any quarter.

Our incentive distribution rights entitle us to receive increasing percentages, up to 48%, of all cash distributed by
Inergy. Because the incentive distribution rights currently participate at the maximum 48% target cash distribution level in all distributions made by Inergy above the current distribution level, future growth in distributions we receive from Inergy
will not result from an increase in the target cash distribution level associated with the incentive distribution rights.

Furthermore, a
decrease in the amount of distributions by Inergy to less than $0.45 per common unit per quarter would reduce our percentage of the incremental cash distributions above $0.375 per common unit per quarter from 48% to 23%. As a result, any such
reduction in quarterly cash distributions from Inergy would have the effect of disproportionately reducing the amount of all distributions that we receive from Inergy based on our ownership interest in the incentive distribution rights in Inergy as
compared to cash distributions we receive from Inergy on our approximate 1.0% general partner interest in Inergy and our Inergy common units.

The
amount of cash distributions from Inergy that we will be able to distribute to unitholders will be reduced by general and administrative expenses and debt service, and reserves that our general partner believes prudent to maintain for the proper
conduct of our business and for future distributions.

Before we can pay distributions to our unitholders, we must first pay or
reserve funds for our expenses, including debt service. We may also establish reserves for future distributions during periods of limited cash flows. In addition, we may reserve funds to meet the right of our wholly owned subsidiary, Inergy
Partners, LLC, to maintain its approximate 1.0% general partner interest in Inergy by making a capital contribution to Inergy when Inergy issues additional Inergy common units.

##### Table of Contents

We may not realize any value from our investment in the Inergy special units.

In connection with the Stagecoach acquisition, we purchased 769,941 Inergy special units for $25 million. The special units are not entitled cash
distributions and will convert into Inergy common units at a specified conversion rate upon the occurrence of one of certain events, including if and when the Stagecoach expansion project becomes commercially operational. The construction of the
Stagecoach expansion project involves numerous uncertainties beyond Inergys control and may not become commercially operational on schedule or at all. If the completion of the Stagecoach expansion project is significantly delayed, our return
on our investment in, and the corresponding value of, the special units will be reduced as we will not receive any distributions on the special units until they convert into common units. Furthermore, although the number of common units into which
the special units convert increases each quarter by 3% on a compounded basis, the conversion ratio may not exceed 1.0 special unit to 1.43 Inergy common units (which conversion ratio will be reached on August 9, 2008). Therefore, if the special
units have not converted by August 9, 2008, we will not receive any additional consideration for our investment in the special units between such date and the conversion date. The special units will be cancelled (1) if the special units
have not converted into common units prior to August 9, 2015; or (2) if after August 9, 2008, Inergy elects not to pursue the Stagecoach expansion project and transfers the Stagecoach expansion project rights to Inergy Holdings, L.P.
Once cancelled, the special units will have no value and we may lose the entire value of our $25 million investment. If the Stagecoach expansion project rights were transferred to us, because we do not operate or manage any assets we can provide no
assurance that we would be able to complete the expansion project on schedule or at all.

Risks Inherent in Inergy, L.P.s Business

Because we are substantially dependent on the distributions we receive from Inergy, risks to Inergys operations are also risks to us. We have set
forth below risks to Inergys business and operations, the occurrence of which could negatively impact Inergys financial performance and decrease the amount of cash it is able to distribute to us.

If Inergy does not continue to make acquisitions on economically acceptable terms, its future financial performance will be limited.

The propane industry is not a growth industry because of increased competition from alternative energy sources. In addition, as a result of long-standing
customer relationships that are typical in the retail home propane industry, the inconvenience of switching tanks and suppliers and propanes higher cost as compared to other energy sources, Inergy may have difficulty in increasing its retail
customer base other than through acquisitions. Therefore, while Inergys operating objectives include promoting internal growth, its ability to grow will depend principally on acquisitions. Inergys future financial performance depends on
its ability to continue to make acquisitions at attractive prices. We cannot assure our unitholders that Inergy will be able to continue to identify attractive acquisition candidates in the future or that it will be able to acquire businesses on
economically acceptable terms. In particular, competition for acquisitions in the propane business has intensified and become more costly. Inergy may not be able to grow as rapidly as it expects through its acquisition of additional businesses for
various reasons, including the following:



| |  |  | Inergy will use its cash from operations primarily to service its debt and for distributions to unitholders and reinvestment in its business. Consequently, the extent to which
Inergy is unable to use cash or access capital to pay for additional acquisitions may limit its growth and impair its operating results. Further, Inergy is subject to certain debt incurrence covenants under its bank credit agreement and the
indentures that govern its 6.875% senior notes due 2014 and 8.25% senior notes due 2016 that may restrict its ability to incur additional debt to finance acquisitions.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Although Inergy intends to use its own securities as acquisition currency, some prospective sellers may not be willing to accept its securities as consideration.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Inergy will use cash for capital expenditures related to infrastructure expansions such as the Stagecoach expansion project, which will reduce its cash available to pay for
additional acquisitions.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

##### Table of Contents

Moreover, acquisitions involve potential risks, including:



| |  |  | Inergys ability to integrate the operations of recently acquired businesses,
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the diversion of managements attention from other business concerns,
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | customer or key employee loss from the acquired businesses, and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a significant increase in Inergys indebtedness.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------

Inergys
growth strategy includes acquiring entities with lines of business that are distinct and separate from its existing operations which could subject Inergy to additional business and operating risks.

Consistent with Inergys announced growth strategy and its acquisition of the Stagecoach assets, Inergy may acquire assets that have operations in
new and distinct lines of business from its existing operations, including midstream assets. Integration of new business segments is a complex, costly and time-consuming process and may involve assets in which Inergy has limited operating
experience. Failure to timely and successfully integrate acquired entities new lines of business with Inergys existing operations may have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition or results of operations. The
difficulties of integrating new business segments with existing operations include, among other things:



| |  |  | operating distinct business segments that require different operating strategies and different managerial expertise;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the necessity of coordinating organizations, systems and facilities in different locations;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | integrating personnel with diverse business backgrounds and organizational cultures; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | consolidating corporate and administrative functions.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------

In
addition, the diversion of Inergys attention and any delays or difficulties encountered in connection with the integration of the new business segments, such as unanticipated liabilities or costs, could harm its existing business, results of
operations, financial condition or prospects. Furthermore, new lines of business will subject Inergy to additional business and operating risks which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or results of operations.

Inergy may be unable to successfully integrate its recent acquisitions.

One of Inergys primary business strategies is to grow through acquisitions. We cannot assure our unitholders that Inergy will successfully integrate
acquisitions into its operations or that it will achieve the desired profitability from its acquisitions. Failure to successfully integrate these substantial acquisitions could adversely affect Inergys operations. The difficulties of combining
the acquired operations include, among other things:



| |  |  | operating a significantly larger combined organization and integrating additional retail and wholesale distribution operations to Inergys existing supply, marketing and
distribution operations;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | coordinating geographically disparate organizations, systems and facilities;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | integrating personnel from diverse business backgrounds and organizational cultures;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | consolidating corporate technological and administrative functions;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | integrating internal controls, compliance under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and other corporate governance matters;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the diversion of managements attention from other business concerns;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | customer or key employee loss from the acquired businesses;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a significant increase in Inergys indebtedness; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | potential environmental or regulatory liabilities and title problems.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, Inergy may not realize all of the anticipated benefits from its acquisitions, such as cost
savings and revenue enhancements, for various reasons, including difficulties integrating operations and personnel, higher costs, unknown liabilities and fluctuations in markets.

Inergys indebtedness may limit its ability to borrow additional funds, make distributions to its unitholders, or capitalize on acquisition or other business opportunities, in addition to impairing its
ability to fulfill its debt obligation under its senior notes.

As of September 30, 2006, Inergy had approximately $660 million
of total outstanding indebtedness. Inergys leverage, various limitations in its credit facility, other restrictions governing its indebtedness and the indentures governing Inergys senior notes may reduce its ability to incur additional
indebtedness, to engage in some transactions and to capitalize on acquisition or other business opportunities.

Inergys indebtedness
and other financial obligations could have important consequences to unitholders. For example, they could:



| |  |  | make it more difficult for Inergy to make distributions to its unitholders;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | impair Inergys ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general partnership purposes or other purposes;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | result in higher interest expense in the event of increases in interest rates since some of Inergys debt is, and will continue to be, at variable rates of interest;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | have a material adverse effect on Inergy if it fails to comply with financial and restrictive covenants in its debt agreements and an event of default occurs as a result of that
failure that is not cured or waived;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | require Inergy to dedicate a substantial portion of its cash flow to payments of Inergys indebtedness and other financial obligations, thereby reducing the availability of
Inergys cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general partnership requirements;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | limit Inergys flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and the propane industry; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | place Inergy at a competitive disadvantage compared to its competitors that have proportionately less debt.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If Inergy is unable to meet its debt service obligations and other financial obligations, it could be forced to restructure or refinance its indebtedness
and other financial transactions, seek additional equity capital or sell its assets. Inergy may then be unable to obtain such financing or capital or sell its assets on satisfactory terms, if at all.

A change of control of Inergys managing general partner could result in Inergy facing substantial repayment obligations under its credit facility.

In addition, Inergys bank credit agreement and the indentures governing its senior notes contain provisions relating to
change of control of Inergys managing general partner, the partnership, and Inergys operating company. If these provisions are triggered, Inergys outstanding bank indebtedness may become due. In such an event, there is no assurance
that Inergy would be able to pay the indebtedness, in which case the lenders would have the right to foreclose on Inergys assets, which would have a material adverse affect on Inergy. There is no restriction on the ability of Inergys
general partners to enter into a transaction which would trigger the change of control provisions.

##### Table of Contents

Restrictive covenants in the agreements governing Inergys indebtedness may reduce its operating flexibility.

The indentures governing Inergys outstanding senior notes and agreements governing Inergys revolving credit facilities
and other future indebtedness contain or may contain various covenants limiting Inergys ability and the ability of specified subsidiaries of Inergy to, among other things:



| |  |  | pay distributions on, redeem or repurchase Inergys equity interests or redeem or repurchase Inergys subordinated debt;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | make investments;
| | - |  | -----------------



| |  |  | incur or guarantee additional indebtedness or issue preferred securities;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | create or incur certain liens;
| | - |  | ------------------------------



| |  |  | enter into agreements that restrict distributions or other payments from Inergys restricted subsidiaries to Inergy;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially all of Inergys assets;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | engage in transactions with affiliates;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------



| |  |  | create unrestricted subsidiaries; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | create non-guarantor subsidiaries.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------

These restrictions
could limit Inergys ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to obtain future financings, make needed capital expenditures, withstand a future downturn in Inergys business or the economy in general, conduct operations or otherwise
take advantage of business opportunities that may arise. Inergys bank credit agreement contains covenants requiring it to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy other financial conditions. Inergy may be unable to meet those ratios and
conditions. Any future breach of these covenants and Inergys failure to meet any of those ratios and conditions could result in a default under the terms of Inergys bank credit agreement, which could result in the acceleration of
Inergys debt and other financial obligations. If Inergy were unable to repay these amounts, the lenders could initiate a bankruptcy proceeding or liquidation proceeding or proceed against the collateral.

Inergy is subject to operating and litigation risks that could adversely affect its operating results to the extent not covered by insurance.

Inergys operations are subject to all operating hazards and risks incident to handling, storing, transporting and providing customers with
combustible products such as propane and natural gas. As a result, Inergy has been, and likely will be, a defendant in legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Inergy maintains insurance policies with insurers in
such amounts and with such coverages and deductibles as it believes are reasonable and prudent. However, Inergys insurance may not be adequate to protect it from all material expenses related to potential future claims for personal injury and
property damage. In addition, the occurrence of a serious accident, whether or not Inergy is involved, may have an adverse effect on the publics desire to use its products.

Inergys operations are subject to compliance with environmental laws and regulations that can adversely affect Inergys results of operations and financial condition.

Inergys operations are subject to stringent environmental laws and regulations of federal, state, and local authorities. Such environmental laws and
regulations impose numerous obligations, including the acquisition of permits to conduct regulated activities, the incurrence of capital expenditures to comply with applicable laws, and restrictions on the generation, handling, treatment, storage,
disposal, and transportation of certain materials and wastes. Failure to comply with such environmental laws and regulations can result in the assessment of substantial administrative, civil, and criminal penalties, the imposition of remedial
liabilities and even the issuance of injunctions restricting or prohibiting Inergys activities. Certain environmental laws impose strict, joint and several liability for costs required to clean up and restore sites where hazardous substances
have been



22

##### Table of Contents

disposed or otherwise released. In the course of Inergys operations, materials or wastes may have been spilled or released from properties owned or
leased by Inergy or on or under other locations where these materials or wastes have been taken for disposal. In addition, many of the properties owned or leased by Inergy were previously operated by third parties whose management, disposal, or
release of materials and wastes was not under Inergys control. Accordingly, Inergy may be liable for the costs of cleaning up or remediating contamination arising out of its operations or as a result of activities by others who previously
occupied or operated on properties now owned or leased by Inergy. It is also possible that implementation of stricter environmental laws and regulations in the future could result in additional costs or liabilities to Inergy as well as the industry
in general.

Cost reimbursements due Inergys managing general partner may be substantial and will reduce the cash available for principal and
interest on Inergys outstanding indebtedness.

Inergy reimburses its managing general partner and its affiliates, including
officers and directors of its managing general partner, for all expenses they incur on Inergys behalf. The reimbursement of expenses could adversely affect Inergys ability to make payments of principal and interest on our outstanding
indebtedness. Inergys managing general partner has sole discretion to determine the amount of these expenses. In addition, Inergys managing general partner and its affiliates provide Inergy with services for which Inergy is charged
reasonable fees as determined by Inergys managing general partner in its sole discretion.

Failure to maintain effective internal controls in
accordance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act could cause Inergy to incur additional expenditures of time and financial resources.

Inergy has completed the process of documenting and testing its internal control procedures in order to satisfy the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which requires annual management
assessments of the effectiveness of its internal controls over financial reporting and a report by its independent auditors addressing these assessments. If, in the future, Inergy fails to maintain the adequacy of its internal controls, as such
standards are modified, supplemented or amended from time to time, it may not be able to ensure that it can conclude on an ongoing basis that it has effective internal controls over financial reporting in accordance with Section 404 of the
Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Failure to achieve and maintain an effective internal control environment could cause Inergy to incur substantial expenditures of management time and financial resources to identify and correct any such failure.

Risks Related to Inergys Propane Operations

Since
weather conditions may adversely affect the demand for propane, Inergys financial condition and results of operations are vulnerable to, and will be adversely affected by, warm winters.

Weather conditions have a significant impact on the demand for propane because Inergys customers depend on propane principally for heating purposes.
As a result, warm weather conditions will adversely impact Inergys operating results and financial condition. Actual weather conditions can substantially change from one year to the next. Furthermore, warmer than normal temperatures in one or
more regions in which Inergy operates can significantly decrease the total volume of propane it sells. Consequently, Inergys operating results may vary significantly due to actual changes in temperature. During the fiscal years ended
September 30, 1999, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005 and 2006 temperatures were significantly warmer than normal in Inergys areas of operation (based on the 30-year average consisting of years 1976 through 2005 published by the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration). We believe that Inergys results of operations during these periods were adversely affected as a result of this warm weather.

Sudden and sharp propane price increases that cannot be passed on to customers may adversely affect Inergys profit margins.

The propane industry is a margin-based business in which gross profits depend on the excess of sales prices over supply costs. As a result, Inergys profitability is sensitive to changes in wholesale
prices of propane



23



---

##### Table of Contents

caused by changes in supply or other market conditions. When there are sudden and sharp increases in the wholesale cost of propane, Inergy may not be able to
pass on these increases to its customers through retail or wholesale prices. Propane is a commodity and the price Inergy pays for it can fluctuate significantly in response to changes in supply or other market conditions. Inergy has no control over
supply or market conditions. In addition, the timing of cost pass-throughs can significantly affect margins. Sudden and extended wholesale price increases could reduce Inergys gross profits and could, if continued over an extended period of
time, reduce demand by encouraging its retail customers to conserve or convert to alternative energy sources.

The highly competitive nature of the
retail propane business could cause Inergy to lose customers or affect its ability to acquire new customers, thereby reducing its revenues.

Inergy has competitors and potential competitors who are larger and have substantially greater financial resources than it does, which may provide them with some advantages. Also, because of relatively low barriers to entry into the retail
propane business, numerous small retail propane distributors, as well as companies not engaged in retail propane distribution, may enter Inergys markets and compete with it. Most of Inergys propane retail branch locations compete with
several marketers or distributors. The principal factors influencing competition with other retail marketers are:



| |  |  | price;
| | - |  | ------



| |  |  | reliability and quality of service;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------



| |  |  | responsiveness to customer needs;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------



| |  |  | safety concerns;
| | - |  | ----------------



| |  |  | long-standing customer relationships;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------



| |  |  | the inconvenience of switching tanks and suppliers; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the lack of growth in the industry.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------

We can make no
assurances that Inergy will be able to compete successfully on the basis of these factors. If a competitor attempts to increase market share by reducing prices, Inergy may lose customers, which would reduce its revenues.

If Inergy is not able to purchase propane from its principal suppliers, Inergys results of operations would be adversely affected.

Most of Inergys total volume purchases are made under supply contracts that have a term of one year, are subject to annual renewal, and provide
various pricing formulas. Two of Inergys suppliers, Sunoco, Inc. (14%) and Exxon Mobil Oil Corp. (11%), accounted for approximately 25% of propane purchases during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. In the event that Inergy is
unable to purchase propane from its significant suppliers, Inergys failure to obtain alternate sources of supply at competitive prices and on a timely basis may hurt its ability to satisfy customer demand, reduce its revenues and adversely
affect its results of operations.

Competition from other energy sources may cause Inergy to lose customers, thereby reducing its revenues.

Competition from other energy sources, including natural gas and electricity, has been increasing as a result of reduced regulation
of many utilities, including natural gas and electricity. Propane is generally not competitive with natural gas in areas where natural gas pipelines already exist because natural gas is a less expensive source of energy than propane. The gradual
expansion of natural gas distribution systems and availability of natural gas in many areas that previously depended upon propane could cause Inergy to lose customers, thereby reducing its revenues.

##### Table of Contents

Inergys business would be adversely affected if service at its principal storage facilities or on the common
carrier pipelines it uses is interrupted.

Historically, a substantial portion of the propane purchased to support Inergys
operations has originated at Conway, Kansas, Hattiesburg, Mississippi and Mont Belvieu, Texas and has been shipped to it through major common carrier pipelines. Any significant interruption in the service at these storage facilities or on the common
carrier pipelines Inergy uses would adversely affect its ability to obtain propane.

If Inergy is not able to sell propane that it has purchased
through wholesale supply agreements to either its own retail propane customers or to other retailers and wholesalers, the results of its operations would be adversely affected.

Inergy currently is party to propane supply contracts and expects to enter into additional propane supply contracts which require it to purchase
substantially all the propane production from certain refineries. Inergys inability to sell the propane supply in its own propane distribution business, to other retail propane distributors or to other propane wholesalers would have a
substantial adverse impact on its operating results and could adversely impact its capital liquidity.

Energy efficiency and new technology may
reduce the demand for propane and adversely affect Inergys operating results.

Increased conservation and technological
advances, including installation of improved insulation and the development of more efficient furnaces and other heating devices, have adversely affected the demand for propane by retail customers. Future conservation measures or technological
advances in heating, conservation, energy generation or other devices might reduce demand for propane and adversely affect Inergys operating results.

Due to Inergys limited asset diversification, adverse developments in its propane business could adversely affect Inergys operating results and reduce its ability to make distributions to its unitholders.

Inergy relies substantially on the revenues generated from its propane business. Due to Inergys limited asset
diversification, an adverse development in this business would have a significantly greater impact on Inergys financial condition and results of operations than if it maintained more diverse assets.

Risks Related to Inergys Midstream Operations

Federal,
state or local regulatory measures could adversely affect Inergys business.

Inergys operations are subject to federal,
state and local regulatory authorities. Specifically, Inergys Stagecoach natural gas storage facility and related assets are subject to the regulation of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC.

Under the Natural Gas Act of 1938 (NGA), FERC has authority to regulate Inergys natural gas facilities that provide natural gas
pipeline transportation services in interstate commerce, including storage services. Natural gas companies may not charge rates that have been determined not to be just and reasonable by the FERC. In addition, the FERC prohibits natural gas
companies from unduly preferring or unreasonably discriminating against any person with respect to pipeline transportation rates or terms and conditions of service. Pursuant to FERCs jurisdiction over rates, existing rates may be challenged by
complaint and proposed rate increases may be challenged by protest. The Stagecoach facility currently has market-based rate authority from the FERC. Any successful complaint or protest against rates charged for Stagecoach storage and related
services, or the loss of market-based rate authority, could have an adverse impact on Inergys revenues.

In addition, the Stagecoach
facilitys market-based rate authority would be subject to further review if it acquires transportation facilities or additional storage capacity, if Inergy or one of its affiliates provides storage

##### Table of Contents

or transportation services in the same market area or acquires an interest in another storage field that can link Inergys facilities to the market area
or if Inergy or one of its affiliates acquire an interest in or is acquired by an interstate pipeline.

There can be no assurance that FERC
will continue to pursue its approach of pro-competitive policies as it considers matters such as pipeline rates and rules and policies that may affect rights of access to natural gas transportation capacity, transportation and storage facilities.
Any successful complaint or protest against Inergys rates or loss of our market-based rate authority could have an adverse impact on Inergys revenues associated with providing storage services. Failure to comply with applicable
regulations under the NGA, Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978, Pipeline Safety Act of 1968 and certain other laws, and with implementing regulations associated with these laws could result in the imposition of administrative and criminal remedies and
civil penalties of up to $1,000,000 per day, per violation.

Inergys storage business depends on neighboring pipelines to transport natural
gas.

To obtain natural gas, Inergys storage business depends on the Tennessee Gas Pipeline Companys 300-Line to which
we have interconnect access. This pipeline is owned by parties not affiliated with Inergy. Any interruption of service on the pipeline or lateral connections or adverse change in the terms and conditions of service could have a material adverse
effect on Inergys ability, and the ability of Inergys customers, to transport natural gas to and from Inergys facilities and have a corresponding material adverse effect on Inergys storage revenues. In addition, the rates
charged by the interconnected pipeline for transportation to and from Inergys facilities affect the utilization and value of our storage services. Significant changes in the rates charged by the pipeline or the rates charged by other pipelines
with which the interconnected pipelines compete could also have a material adverse effect on Inergys storage revenues.

Inergy expects to
derive a significant portion of its revenues from the Stagecoach facility from three customers, and the loss of one or more of these customers could result in a significant loss of revenues and cash flow.

Inergy expects to derive a significant portion of its revenues and cash flow in connection with the Stagecoach facility from its largest three customers
comprised of Consolidated Edison Company, New Jersey Resources, and New Jersey Natural Gas. The loss, nonpayment, nonperformance or impaired creditworthiness of one or more of these customers could have a material adverse effect on Inergys
business, results of operations and financial condition.

Inergy encounters competition from other natural gas storage companies.

Inergys principal competitors in its natural gas storage market include other storage providers including among others Dominion Resources, Inc.,
NiSource Inc., and El Paso Corporation. These major natural gas transmission companies have existing storage facilities connected to their systems that compete with certain of Inergys facilities. Pending and future construction projects, if
and when brought on line, may also compete with the Stagecoach facility. Such projects may include FERC-certificated storage expansions and greenfield construction projects, as well as construction of liquefied natural gas, or LNG, facilities.

Expanding Inergys business by constructing new midstream assets subjects Inergy to construction risks.

One of the ways Inergy may grow its business is through the expansion of its existing storage facilities, such as the current Stagecoach expansion
project. The construction of additional storage facilities or new pipeline interconnects involves numerous regulatory, environmental, political and legal uncertainties beyond Inergys control and may require the expenditure of significant
amounts of capital. If Inergy undertakes these projects, they may not be completed on schedule or at all or at the budgeted cost. Moreover, Inergys revenues may not increase immediately upon the expenditure of funds on a particular project.
For instance, if Inergy builds a new midstream asset, the construction will occur over an extended period of time, and Inergy will not receive material



26

##### Table of Contents

increases in revenues until after the project is placed in service. Moreover, Inergy may construct facilities to capture anticipated future growth in
production and/or demand in a region in which such growth does not materialize. As a result, new facilities may not be able to attract enough throughput to achieve Inergys expected investment return, which could adversely affect Inergys
results of operations and financial condition.

Inergy may not be able to retain existing customers or acquire new customers, which would reduce
Inergys revenues and limit our future profitability.

The renewal or replacement of existing contracts with Inergys
customers at rates sufficient to maintain current revenues and cash flows depends on a number of factors beyond Inergys control, including competition from other pipelines and storage providers, and the price of, and demand for, natural gas in
the markets Inergy serves. The inability of Inergys management to renew or replace its current contracts as they expire and to respond appropriately to changing market conditions could have a negative effect on Inergys profitability.

The fees charged by Inergy to third parties under transmission, transportation and storage agreements may not escalate sufficiently to cover
increases in costs and the agreements may not be renewed or may be suspended in some circumstances.

Inergys costs may
increase at a rate greater than the rate that the fees Inergy charges to third parties increase pursuant to our contracts with them. Furthermore, third parties may not renew their contracts with Inergy. Additionally, some third parties
obligations under their agreements with Inergy may be permanently or temporarily reduced upon the occurrence of certain events, some of which are beyond Inergys control, including force majeure events wherein the supply of either natural gas,
are curtailed or cut off. Force majeure events include (but are not limited to) revolutions, wars, acts of enemies, embargoes, import or export restrictions, strikes, lockouts, fires, storms, floods, acts of God, explosions, mechanical or physical
failures of Inergys equipment or facilities or those of third parties. If the escalation of fees is insufficient to cover increased costs, if third parties do not renew or extend their contracts with Inergy or if any third party suspends or
terminates its contracts with Inergy, Inergys financial results would be negatively impacted.

Inergys business would be adversely
affected if operations at any of its facilities were interrupted.

Inergys operations are dependent upon the infrastructure
that it has developed, including, storage facilities and various means of transportation. Any significant interruption at these facilities or pipelines or Inergys or its customers inability to transmit natural gas to or from these
facilities or pipelines for any reason would adversely affect Inergys results of operations. Operations at Inergys facilities could be partially or completely shut down, temporarily or permanently, as the result of any number of
circumstances that are not within Inergys control, such as:



| |  |  | unscheduled turnarounds or catastrophic events at Inergys physical plants;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | labor difficulties that result in a work stoppage or slowdown; and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | a disruption in the supply of natural gas to Inergys storage facilities.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

Risks Inherent in an Investment in Us

We are largely dependent on Inergy, L.P. for our growth. As a result of the fiduciary
obligations of Inergys managing general partner, which is our wholly owned subsidiary, to the unitholders of Inergy, our ability to pursue business opportunities independently will be limited.

We currently intend to grow primarily through the growth of Inergy. While we are not precluded from pursuing business opportunities independent of Inergy,
Inergys managing general partner, which is our wholly owned subsidiary, has fiduciary duties to Inergy unitholders which would make it difficult for us to engage in any business activity that is competitive with Inergy. Those fiduciary duties
are applicable to us because we control the managing general partner through our ability to elect all of its directors. While there may be circumstances in



27



---

##### Table of Contents

which these fiduciary duties may be satisfied while allowing us to pursue business opportunities independent of Inergy, we expect such opportunities to be
limited. Accordingly, we may be unable to diversify our sources of revenue in order to increase cash distributions to our unitholders.

A substantial
portion of our partnership interests in Inergy are restricted and some are not publicly traded, which may limit our ability to sell these interests as well as interests in other subsidiaries that we own.

We own 3,787,340 Inergy common units, all of which are unregistered and restricted securities, within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of
1933. We therefore face restrictions on the volume of Inergy common units we can sell in any three-month period. Furthermore, there is no public market for Inergys special units and we do not expect one to develop. If we were required to sell
special units for any reason, we likely would receive a discount to the current market price of Inergys common units, and that discount may be substantial. In addition, our investments in Inergys general partners and New Inergy Propane,
LLC are illiquid, and our ability to sell such interests is limited because there is no market for them.

Cost reimbursements due our general partner
may be substantial and will reduce our cash available for distribution to holders of our common units.

Prior to making any
distribution on our common units, we reimburse our general partner for expenses it incurs on our behalf. The reimbursement of expenses could adversely affect our ability to pay cash distributions to holders of our common units. Our general partner
has sole discretion to determine the amount of these expenses. In addition, our general partner and its affiliates may perform other services for us for which we will be charged fees as determined by our general partner.

The President and Chief Executive Officer of our general partner effectively controls us and Inergy through his control of our general partner and Inergys
managing general partner.

The president and chief executive officer of both our general partner and Inergys managing general
partner owns an economic interest of 54.9% in our general partner and has voting control of our general partner. He therefore controls our general partner and through it, the managing general partner of Inergy and may be able to influence unitholder
votes. Control over these entities gives our president and chief executive officer substantial control over our and Inergys business and operations.

The control of our general partner may be transferred to a third party, and that party could replace our current management team, in each case without unitholder consent.

Our general partner may transfer its general partner interest to a third party in a merger or in a sale of all or substantially all of its assets without
the consent of our unitholders. Furthermore, there is no restriction in our partnership agreement on the ability of the owners of our general partner to transfer their ownership interest in our general partner to a third party. The new owner of our
general partner would then be in a position to replace the board of directors and officers of our general partner with its own choices and to control the decisions taken by the board of directors and officers.

Our unitholders cannot easily remove our general partner.

Unlike the holders of common stock in a corporation, our unitholders have only limited voting rights on matters affecting our business and, therefore, limited ability to influence managements decisions regarding
our business. Our unitholders did not elect our general partner or the directors of our general partner and will have no right to elect our general partner or the directors of our general partner on an annual or other continuing basis in the future.

Furthermore, if our unitholders are dissatisfied with the performance of our general partner, they will have little ability to remove our
general partner. Our general partner may not be removed except upon the vote of the holders of at least 662/3%
of the outstanding units voting together as a single class. Because affiliates of our



28



---

##### Table of Contents

general partner own more than one-third of our outstanding units, our general partner currently cannot be removed without the consent of our general partner
and its affiliates.

Our unitholders voting rights are further restricted by the provision in our partnership agreement stating that
any units held by a person that owns 20% or more of any class of units then outstanding, other than our general partner and its affiliates, cannot be voted on any matter. In addition, our partnership agreement contains provisions limiting the
ability of our unitholders to call meetings or to acquire information about our operations, as well as other provisions limiting our unitholders ability to influence the manner or direction of our management.

As a result of these provisions, the price at which our common units trade may be lower because of the absence or reduction of a takeover premium in the
trading price.

Inergys unitholders have the right to remove Inergys general partner with the approval of the holders of 662/3% of all units, which would cause us to lose our general partner interest in Inergy and the ability to manage
Inergy.

We currently manage Inergy through Inergy GP, LLC, Inergys managing general partner and our wholly owned
subsidiary. Inergys partnership agreement, however, gives unitholders of Inergy the right to remove the managing general partner of Inergy upon the affirmative vote of holders of 662/3% of Inergys outstanding units. If Inergy GP, LLC were removed as managing general partner of Inergy, Inergy Partners, LLC, Inergys
non-managing general partner and our wholly owned subsidiary, would receive cash or common units in exchange for its approximate 1.0% general partner interest and Inergy GP, LLC would lose its ability to manage Inergy. While the common units
or cash we would receive are intended under the terms of Inergys partnership agreement to fully compensate us in the event such an exchange is required, the value of these common units or investments we make with the cash over time may not be
equivalent to the value of the general partner interest had we retained it.

Inergy may issue additional Inergy common units, which may
increase the risk that Inergy will not have sufficient available cash to maintain or increase the per Inergy unit distribution level.

Inergy has wide latitude to issue additional Inergy common units, including Inergy common units that rank senior to the incentive distributions rights as to quarterly cash distributions, on the terms and conditions established by
Inergys managing general partner. The payment of distributions on these additional Inergy common units may increase the risk that Inergy will be unable to maintain or increase the per Inergy unit distribution level.

If in the future we cease to manage and control Inergy through our direct and indirect ownership of the general partner interests in Inergy, we may be deemed to be
an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

If we cease to manage and control Inergy and are deemed to be an
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, we would either have to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, obtain exemptive relief from the SEC or modify our organizational structure or our
contract rights to fall outside the definition of an investment company. Registering as an investment company could, among other things, materially limit our ability to engage in transactions with affiliates, including the purchase and sale of
certain securities or other property to or from our affiliates, restrict our ability to borrow funds or engage in other transactions involving leverage and require us to add additional directors who are independent of us or our affiliates.

Restrictions in our credit facility could limit our ability to make distributions to our unitholders.

Our credit facility contains covenants limiting our ability to incur indebtedness, grant liens, engage in transactions with affiliates and make
distributions to our unitholders. This facility also contains covenants



29



---

##### Table of Contents

requiring us to maintain certain financial ratios. We are prohibited from making any distribution to unitholders if such distribution would cause an event of
default or otherwise violate a covenant under this facility.

We may issue an unlimited number of limited partner interests without the consent of
our unitholders, which will dilute a unitholders ownership interest in us and may increase the risk that we will not have sufficient available cash to maintain or increase our per unit distribution level.

Our general partner may cause us to issue an unlimited number of limited partner interests of any type, on terms and conditions established by our general
partner, without unitholder approval. Such issuances may occur in connection with acquisitions or capital improvements by us or by Inergy or as a result of grants made under our long-term incentive plan.

The issuance of additional common units or other equity securities of equal rank will have the following effects:



| |  |  | our unitholders proportionate ownership interest in us will decrease;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the amount of cash available for distribution on each common unit may decrease;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the relative voting strength of each previously outstanding common unit may be diminished;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ratio of taxable income to distributions may increase; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the market price of the common units may decline.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------

Furthermore, our partnership agreement does not give our unitholders the right to approve our issuance of equity securities ranking junior to the common units at any time.

Our cash distribution policy limits our ability to grow.

Because we distribute all of our
available cash, our growth may not be as rapid as businesses that reinvest their available cash to expand ongoing operations. In fact, our growth initially will be completely dependent upon Inergys ability to increase its quarterly
distribution per unit because currently our only cash-generating assets are partnership interests in Inergy. If we issue additional units or incur debt to fund acquisitions and growth capital expenditures, the payment of distributions on those
additional units or interest on that debt could increase the risk that we will be unable to maintain or increase our per unit distribution level.

We
are required to evaluate our internal control over financial reporting under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and any adverse results from such evaluation could result in a loss of investor confidence in our financial reports and
have an adverse affect on our financial results and the market price of our common units.

Rules adopted by the SEC pursuant to
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 require annual review and evaluation of our internal control systems, and attestation of these systems by our independent auditors. If we are not able to implement the requirements of
Section 404 in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, investors could lose confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which could result in a decrease in the market price of our common units. In addition, to the extent we
or our independent registered public accounting firm identify a significant deficiency in our internal control over financial reporting, the resources and costs required to remediate such deficiency could have an adverse impact on our future results
of operations.

Risks Related to Conflicts of Interest

Although we control Inergy through our ownership of its managing general partner, Inergys managing general partner owes fiduciary duties to Inergy and Inergys unitholders, which may conflict with our interests.

Conflicts of interest exist and may arise in the future as a result of the relationships between us and our affiliates, including
Inergys managing general partner, on the one hand, and Inergy and its limited partners, on



30

##### Table of Contents

the other hand. The directors and officers of Inergy GP, LLC have fiduciary duties to manage Inergy in a manner beneficial to us, its owner. At the same
time, the managing general partner has a fiduciary duty to manage Inergy in a manner beneficial to Inergy and its limited partners. The board of directors of Inergy GP, LLC will resolve any such conflict and has broad latitude to consider the
interests of all parties to the conflict. The resolution of these conflicts may not always be in our best interest or that of our unitholders.

For example, conflicts of interest may arise in the following situations:



| |  |  | the allocation of shared overhead expenses to Inergy and us;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the interpretation and enforcement of contractual obligations between us and our affiliates, on the one hand, and Inergy, on the other hand;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the determination of the amount of cash to be distributed to Inergys partners and the amount of cash to be reserved for the future conduct of Inergys business;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the determination of whether Inergy should use cash on hand, borrow or issue equity to raise cash to finance acquisitions or expansion capital projects, repay indebtedness, meet
working capital needs, pay distributions to Inergys partners or otherwise;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the determination of the terms and purchase price applicable to any class of units sold in a private placement between us and Inergy; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | any decision we make in the future to engage in business activities independent of Inergy.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The fiduciary duties of our general partners officers and directors may conflict with those of Inergy GP, LLC, Inergys managing general partner.

Conflicts of interest may arise because of the relationships between Inergy GP, LLC, Inergy and us. Our general partners directors and officers have
fiduciary duties to manage our business in a manner beneficial to us and our unitholders. Simultaneously, a majority of our general partners directors and all of its officers are also directors and officers of Inergy GP, LLC, Inergys
managing general partner, and have fiduciary duties to manage the business of Inergy in a manner beneficial to Inergy and Inergys unitholders. The resolution of these conflicts may not always be in our best interest or that of our unitholders.

Our general partner has conflicts of interest and limited fiduciary responsibilities to us, which may allow it to favor its own interests to the
detriment of our unitholders.

Our general partner owns a non-economic general partner interest in us and certain officers and
directors of our general partner and certain officers and directors of the managing general partner of Inergy own an approximate 68.14% limited partner interest in us. In addition, certain officers of our general partner and certain officers and
directors of the managing general partner of Inergy own approximately 86.90% of our general partner.

Conflicts of interest may arise
between our general partner and us. As a result of these conflicts, our general partner may favor its own interests and the interests of its affiliates over the interests of our unitholders. These conflicts include, among others, the following
situations:

Conflicts Relating to Control:



| |  |  | our general partner is allowed to take into account the interests of parties other than us, including Inergy and its affiliates and any other businesses acquired in the future, in
resolving conflicts of interest, which has the effect of limiting its fiduciary duty to our unitholders;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our general partner may limit its liability and reduce its fiduciary duties, while also restricting the remedies available to our unitholders for actions that,
without the limitations, might constitute breaches
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | of fiduciary duty. As a result of purchasing units, our unitholders consent to some actions and conflicts of interest that might otherwise constitute a
breach of fiduciary or other duties under applicable state law;
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our general partner controls the enforcement of obligations owed to us by our general partner and its affiliates;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our general partner decides whether to retain separate counsel, accountants or others to perform services for us; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our partnership agreement gives our general partner broad discretion in establishing financial reserves for the proper conduct of our business. These reserves also affect the amount
of cash available for distribution.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conflicts Relating to Costs:



| |  |  | our general partner determines the amount and timing of investment transactions, asset purchases and sales, capital expenditures, borrowings, issuance of additional partnership
securities and reserves, each of which can affect the amount of cash that is distributed to our unitholders;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our general partner determines which of the costs incurred by our general partner and its affiliates are reimbursable by us; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | our partnership agreement does not restrict our general partner from causing us to pay it or its affiliates for any services rendered on terms that are fair and reasonable to us or
entering into additional contractual arrangements with any of these entities on our behalf.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our general partner may not be fully
reimbursed for the use of its officers and employees by Inergys managing general partner.

Our general partner shares officers
and administrative personnel with Inergys managing general partner to operate both our business and Inergys business. In that case, our general partners officers, who are also the officers of Inergys managing general partner,
allocate, in their reasonable and sole discretion, the time its employees spend on our behalf and on behalf of Inergy. These allocations may not necessarily be the result of arms-length negotiations between Inergys managing general partner and
our general partner. Although our general partner intends to be reimbursed for its employees activities, due to the nature of the allocations, this reimbursement may not exactly match the actual time and overhead spent.

Our partnership agreement contains provisions that reduce the remedies available to unitholders for actions that might otherwise constitute a breach of fiduciary
duty by our general partner. It will be difficult for a unitholder to challenge a resolution of a conflict of interest by our general partner or by its conflicts committee.

Whenever our general partner makes a determination or takes or declines to take any other action in its capacity as our general partner, it will be
obligated to act in good faith, which means it must reasonably believe that the determination or other action is in our best interests. Whenever a potential conflict of interest exists between us and our general partner, our general partner may
resolve such conflict of interest. If our general partner determines that its resolution of the conflict of interest is on terms no less favorable to us than those generally being provided to or available from unrelated third parties or is fair and
reasonable to us, taking into account the totality of the relationships between us and our general partner, then it shall be presumed that in making this determination, our general partner acted in good faith. A unitholder seeking to challenge this
resolution of the conflict of interest would bear the burden of overcoming such presumption. This is different from the situation with Delaware corporations, where a conflict resolution by an interested party would be presumed to be unfair and the
interested party would have the burden of demonstrating that the resolution was fair.



32



---

##### Table of Contents

Furthermore, if our general partner obtains the approval of our conflicts committee, the resolution will
be conclusively deemed to be fair and reasonable to us and not a breach by our general partner of any duties it may owe to us or our unitholders. This is different from the situation with Delaware corporations, where a conflict resolution by a
committee consisting solely of independent directors would merely shift the burden of demonstrating unfairness to the plaintiff. As a result, unitholders will effectively not be able to challenge a decision by the conflicts committee.

Unlike Inergy and most other master limited partnerships, which require at least two independent members of the conflicts committee, our partnership
agreement provides that a conflicts committee may be comprised of one or more directors. If we establish a conflicts committee with only one director, your interests may not be as well served as if we had a conflicts committee with at least two
independent directors. A single member committee would not have the benefit of discussion with and input from other independent directors.

Our
general partner has a limited call right that may require unitholders to sell common units at an undesirable time or price.

If at
any time more than 85% of the outstanding common units are owned by our general partner and its affiliates, our general partner will have the right, but not the obligation, which it may assign to any of its affiliates or to us, to acquire all, but
not less than all, of the remaining common units held by unaffiliated persons at a price not less than their then-current market price. As a result, our unitholders may be required to sell common units at an undesirable time or price and may not
receive any return on their investment. A unitholder may also incur a tax liability upon a sale of common units.

Tax Risks to Our Common Unitholders

If we or Inergy were treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, or if we or Inergy were to become subject to a material amount of
entity-level taxation for state tax purposes, then our cash available for distribution to our unitholders would be substantially reduced.

The value of our investment in Inergy depends largely on Inergy being treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, which requires that 90% or more of Inergys gross income for every taxable year consist of qualifying
income, as defined in Section 7704 of the Internal Revenue Code. Inergy may not meet this requirement or current law may change so as to cause, in either event, Inergy to be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or otherwise
subject to federal income tax. Moreover, the anticipated after-tax benefit of an investment in our common units depends largely on our being treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. We have not requested, and do not plan to request,
a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, on this or any other matter affecting us.

If Inergy were treated as a corporation for
federal income tax purposes, it would pay federal income tax on its taxable income at the corporate tax rate, which is currently a maximum of 35%. Distributions to us would generally be taxed again as corporate distributions, and no income, gains,
losses, deductions or credits would flow through to us. As a result, there would be a material reduction in our anticipated cash flow and distributions to our unitholders, likely causing a substantial reduction in the value of our units.

If we were treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, we would pay federal income tax on our taxable income at the corporate tax rate.
Distributions to our unitholders would generally be taxed again as corporate distributions, and no income, gains, losses, deductions or credits would flow through to our unitholders. Because a tax would be imposed upon us as a corporation, our cash
available for distribution to our unitholders would be substantially reduced. Thus, treatment of us as a corporation would result in a material reduction in our anticipated cash flow, likely causing a substantial reduction in the value of our units.

Current law may change, causing us or Inergy to be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes or otherwise subjecting us or
Inergy to entity level taxation. Because of widespread state budget deficits and other reasons, several states are evaluating ways to subject partnerships to entity level taxation through the



33



---

##### Table of Contents

imposition of state income, franchise or other forms of taxation. For instance, Inergy will be subject to a new entity-level tax on the portion of its income
that is generated in Texas beginning in 2007. Specifically, the Texas margin tax will be imposed at a maximum effective rate of .7% of Inergys gross income apportioned to Texas. Imposition of such a tax upon us or Inergy as an entity will
reduce, our cash available for distribution to our unitholders.

Inergys partnership agreement provides that if a law is enacted or
existing law is modified or interpreted in a manner that subjects Inergy to taxation as a corporation or otherwise subjects Inergy to entity-level taxation for federal, state or local income tax purposes, the minimum quarterly distribution amount
and the target distribution amounts will be adjusted to reflect the impact of that law on Inergy. Likewise, if we or Inergy is subjected to any such form of an entity-level taxation the cash available for distribution to our unitholders will be
reduced.

If the IRS contests the federal income tax positions we or Inergy take, the market for our common units or Inergy units may be adversely
impacted, and the costs of any contest will reduce cash available for distribution to our unitholders.

We have not requested a
ruling from the IRS with respect to our treatment as a partnership for federal income tax purposes or any other matter that affects us. Moreover, Inergy has not requested any ruling from the IRS with respect to its treatment as a partnership for
federal income tax purposes or any other matter that affects it. The IRS may adopt positions that differ from the positions we or Inergy take. It may be necessary to resort to administrative or court proceedings to sustain some or all of the
positions we or Inergy take. A court may disagree with some or all of the positions we or Inergy take. Any contest with the IRS may materially and adversely impact the market for our common units or Inergy units and the price at which they trade. In
addition, the cost of any contest between Inergy and the IRS will result in a reduction in cash available for distribution to Inergy unitholders and thus indirectly by us, as a unitholder and as the owner of the general partner of Inergy. Moreover,
the costs of any contest between us and the IRS will result in a reduction in cash available for distribution to our unitholders and thus will be borne indirectly by our unitholders.

Our unitholders may be required to pay taxes on income from us even if they do not receive any cash distributions from us.

Because our unitholders will be treated as partners to whom we will allocate taxable income, which could be different in amount than the cash we distribute, are unitholders are required to pay any federal income taxes
and, in some cases, state and local income taxes on their share of our taxable income, whether or not they receive cash distributions from us. Our unitholders may not receive cash distributions from us equal to their share of our taxable income or
even equal to the tax liability that results from the taxation of their share of our taxable income.

Tax gain or loss on disposition of our common
units could be more or less than expected.

A unitholder who sells common units will recognize a gain or loss equal to the
difference between the amount realized and his adjusted tax basis in those common units. Prior distributions to a unitholder in excess of the total net taxable income allocated to that unitholder, which decreased the tax basis in that
unitholders common unit, will, in effect, become taxable income to that unitholder if the common unit is sold at a price greater than that unitholders tax basis in that common unit, even if the price is less than the original cost. A
substantial portion of the amount realized, whether or not representing gain, may be ordinary income to that unitholder. In addition, if a unitholder sells units, the unitholder may incur a tax liability in excess of the amount of cash received from
the sale.

Tax-exempt entities, regulated investment companies and foreign persons face unique tax issues from owning common units that may result in
adverse tax consequences to them.

Investment in common units by tax-exempt entities, including employee benefit plans and
individual retirement accounts (known as IRAs), and non-U.S. persons raises issues unique to them. For example, virtually

all of our income allocated to organizations exempt from federal income tax, including individual retirement accounts and other retirement plans, will be
unrelated business taxable income and will be taxable to such a unitholder. Distributions to non-U.S. persons will be reduced by withholding taxes imposed at the highest effective applicable tax rate, and non-U.S. persons will be required to file
United States federal income tax returns and pay tax on their share of our taxable income.

We treat each purchaser of our common units as having the
same tax benefits without regard to the common units purchased. The IRS may challenge this treatment, which could adversely affect the value of our common units.

Because we cannot match transferors and transferees of common units, we will adopt depreciation and amortization positions that may not conform with all aspects of existing Treasury Regulations. A successful IRS
challenge to those positions could adversely affect the amount of tax benefits available to our unitholders. It also could affect the timing of these tax benefits or the amount of gain on the sale of common units and could have a negative impact on
the value of our common units or result in audits of and adjustments to our unitholders tax returns.

The sale or exchange of 50% or more of
our capital and profits interests within a twelve-month period will result in the termination of our partnership for federal income tax purposes.

We will be considered to have terminated our partnership for federal income tax purposes if there is a sale or exchange of 50% or more of the total interests in our capital and profits within a twelve-month period.
Likewise, Inergy will be considered to have terminated its partnership for federal income tax purposes if there is a sale or exchange of 50% or more of the total interests in Inergys capital and profits within a twelve-month period. A
termination would, among other things, result in the closing of our or Inergys taxable year for all unitholders and could result in a deferral of depreciation deductions allowable in computing our taxable income for the year in which the
termination occurs. Thus, if this occurs our unitholders will be allocated an increased amount of federal taxable income for the year in which we are considered to be terminated as a percentage of the cash distributed to unitholders with respect to
that period. Although the amount of increase cannot be estimated because it depends upon numerous factors including the timing of the termination, the amount could be material. Our termination, or the termination of Inergy, currently would not
affect our classification, or the classification of Inergy, as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, but instead, we or Inergy would be treated as a new partnership for tax purposes. If treated as a new partnership, we must make new tax
elections and could be subject to penalties if we are unable to determine that a termination occurred.

Our unitholders will likely be subject to
state and local taxes and return filing requirements in states where they do not live as a result of investing in our common units.

In addition to federal income taxes, our unitholders will likely be subject to other taxes, including foreign taxes, state and local taxes, unincorporated business taxes and estate, inheritance or intangible taxes that are imposed by the
various jurisdictions in which we or Inergy do business or own property and in which they do not reside. We and Inergy own property and conduct business in numerous states in the United States. Unitholders may be required to file state and local
income tax returns and pay state and local income taxes in many or all of the jurisdictions in which we or Inergy do business or own property. Further, unitholders may be subject to penalties for failure to comply with those requirements. It is our
unitholders responsibility to file all United States federal, state, local and foreign tax returns.

Item 2. Properties.

We do not own or lease any properties. However, as of November 1, 2006, Inergy
owned 239 of its 341 retail propane customer service centers and leased the balance. For more information concerning the location of Inergys customer service centers, see Retail Propane under Item 1. Inergy leases its Kansas
City, Missouri headquarters. Inergy leases underground storage facilities with an aggregate capacity of approximately 41.4 million gallons of propane at seven locations under annual lease agreements. Inergy also leases capacity in several
pipelines pursuant to annual lease agreements.

Tank ownership and control at customer locations are important components to Inergys
retail propane operations and customer retention. As of September 30, 2006, Inergy owned the following:



| |  |  | approximately 1,200 bulk storage tanks at approximately 600 locations with typical capacities of 12,000 to 30,000 gallons,
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | approximately 575,000 stationary customer storage tanks with typical capacities of 100 to 1,200 gallons, and
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | approximately 120,000 portable propane cylinders with typical capacities of up to 35 gallons.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inergy believes that it has satisfactory title or valid rights to use all of its material properties. Although some of these properties are subject to
liabilities and leases, liens for taxes not yet due and payable, encumbrances securing payment obligations under non-competition agreements entered in connection with acquisitions and immaterial encumbrances, easements and restrictions, Inergy does
not believe that any of these burdens will materially interfere with its continued use of these properties in Inergys business, taken as a whole. Inergys obligations under its credit facility are secured by liens and mortgages on
Inergys real and personal property.

In addition, Inergy believes that it has, or is in the process of obtaining, all required
material approvals, authorizations, orders, licenses, permits, franchises and consents of, and has obtained or made all required material registrations, qualifications and filings with, the various state and local governmental and regulatory
authorities that relate to ownership of its properties or the operation of its business.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

We are not a party to any litigation. However, Inergys operations are
subject to all operating hazards and risks normally incidental to handling, storing, transporting and otherwise providing for use by consumers of combustible liquids such as propane. As a result, at any given time Inergy is a defendant in various
legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. Inergy maintains insurance policies with insurers in amounts and with coverages and deductibles as the managing general partner believes are reasonable and prudent.
However, Inergy cannot assure you that this insurance will be adequate to protect it from all material expenses related to potential future claims for personal and property damage or that these levels of insurance will be available in the future at
economical prices.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

No matter was submitted to a vote of the
holders of our common units during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006.

|(a) | Cash distribution per unit for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was prorated for the number of days we were public.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As of November 20, 2006, we had issued and outstanding 20,000,000 common units, which were held by approximately 2,080 unitholders.

Our company makes quarterly distributions to its limited partners within approximately 50 days after the end of each fiscal quarter in an aggregate
amount equal to its available cash (as defined) for such quarter. Available cash generally means, with respect to each fiscal quarter, all cash on hand at the end of the quarter less the amount of cash that the general partner determines in its
reasonable discretion is necessary or appropriate to:



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



| |  |  | comply with applicable law, any of our debt instruments, or other agreements, or
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------



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

plus all cash on hand on the date of determination of available cash for the quarter resulting from working capital borrowings made after the end of the quarter. Working capital borrowings are generally borrowings
that are made under Inergys working capital facility and in all cases are used solely for working capital purposes or to pay distributions to partners. The full definition of available cash is set forth in our partnership agreement, which is
incorporated by reference herein as an exhibit to this report.

There is no guarantee that we will pay a quarterly distribution on our
common units in any quarter, and we will be prohibited from making any distributions to unitholders if it would cause an event of default under our credit facility. The information concerning restrictions on distributions required by this
Item 5 is incorporated herein by reference to Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsDescription of Credit Facility under Item 7 and Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial
Statements.

Item 6. Selected Financial Data.

The following table sets forth selected consolidated financial data for
Inergy Holdings, L.P., in each case for the periods and as of the dates indicated. The selected historical statement of operations and cash flow data for the years ended September 30, 2006, 2005, 2004, 2003 and 2002 and the balance sheet data
as of September 30, 2006, 2005, 2004 and 2003 are derived from our audited financial statements. The selected balance sheet data as of September 30, 2002 is derived from our unaudited financial statements. These financial statements
include the results of operations of Inergys acquisitions from the effective date of the respective acquisitions. The unaudited financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal, recurring accruals, which we consider necessary
for fair presentation of the financial position and results of operations for these periods.

We have no separate operating activities
apart from those conducted by Inergy, and our cash flows consist of distributions from Inergy on the partnership interests we own. Accordingly, the selected historical consolidated financial data set forth in the following table primarily reflects
the operating activities and results of operations of Inergy. Since we control the managing general partner of Inergy, we reflect our ownership interest in Inergy on a consolidated basis, which means that our financial results are combined with
Inergys financial results and the results of our other subsidiaries. The interest owned by non-controlling partners in Inergy is reflected as a liability on our balance sheet and the non-controlling partners share of income for Inergy is
reflected as an expense in our results of operations.

We have described under
Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations, Financial Condition or Business additional factors that could cause actual results to be materially different from those described in the forward-looking statements. Other factors
that we have not identified in this report could also have this effect. You are cautioned not to put undue reliance on any forward-looking statement, which speaks only as of the date it was made.

General

Our cash-generating assets consist of our
partnership interests, including incentive distribution rights, in Inergy, L.P., a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, which operates a rapidly growing, geographically diverse retail and wholesale propane supply, marketing and distribution
business. Inergy also owns a natural gas storage facility in Tioga County, New York and an NGL business in Bakersfield, CA. Our primary objective is to increase distributable cash flow to our unitholders through our ownership of partnership
interests in Inergy. Our incentive distribution rights entitle us to receive an increasing percentage of total cash distributions made by Inergy as it reaches certain target distribution levels and have resulted in significantly increasing cash
distributions to us.

Inergys primary objective is to increase distributable cash flow to its unitholders. Inergy has primarily grown
through acquisitions of retail propane operations. Since the inception of Inergys predecessor in 1996 through September 30, 2006, Inergy has acquired 57 propane companies and 2 midstream businesses, for an aggregate purchase price of
approximately $1.4 billion, including working capital, assumed liabilities and acquisition costs. Inergy further intends to pursue its growth objectives through, among other things, future acquisitions, maintaining a high percentage of retail sales
to residential customers, operating in attractive markets and focusing its operations under established, locally recognized trade names.

Our aggregate partnership interests as of September 30, 2006, in Inergy consist of the following:



| |  |  | a 100% ownership interest in each of the managing general partner of Inergy, which manages Inergys business and affairs, and the non-managing general partner of Inergy, which
owns an approximate 1.0% general partner interest in Inergy;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 3,787,340 Inergy common units, representing an aggregate limited partner interest in Inergy of approximately 8.4%; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | 769,941 Inergy special units, which are not entitled to a current distribution and will convert into Inergy Common Units representing limited partnership interests in Inergy at a
specified conversion rate upon the commercial operation of the Stagecoach expansion project as previously described; and
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | all of the incentive distribution rights in Inergy which entitle us to receive increasing percentages, up to a maximum of 48.0%, of any cash distributed by Inergy as certain target
distribution levels are reached in excess of $0.33 per Inergy unit in any quarter.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Since we control the managing general
partner of Inergy, we reflect our ownership interest in Inergy on a consolidated basis, which means that our financial results are combined with Inergys financial results and the results of our other subsidiaries. The limited partner interests
in Inergy not owned by affiliates of the managing general partner are reflected as an expense in our results of operations. We have no separate operating activities apart from those conducted by Inergy, and our cash flows consist of distributions
from Inergy on the partnership interests we own. Our consolidated results of operations principally reflect the results of operations of Inergy, and also include provision for income taxes and interest of non-controlling partners in Inergys
net (income) loss.

Accordingly, the discussion of our financial position and results of operations in this Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations reflects the operating activities and results of operations of Inergy. The historical results of our operations do not reflect the incremental expenses we expect to incur as a result of being a public
entity.

The retail propane distribution business is largely seasonal due to propanes primary use as a heating source in residential
and commercial buildings. As a result, cash flows from operations are generally highest from November through April when customers pay for propane purchased during the six-month peak heating season of October through March.

Because a substantial portion of Inergys propane is used in the weather-sensitive residential markets, the temperatures realized in its areas of
operations, particularly during the six-month peak heating season, have a significant effect on Inergys financial performance. In any given area, warmer-than-normal temperatures will tend to result in reduced propane use, while sustained
colder-than-normal temperatures will tend to result in greater propane use. Therefore, Inergy uses information on normal temperatures in understanding how historical results of operations are affected by temperatures that are colder or warmer than
normal and in preparing forecasts of future operations, which are based on the assumption that normal weather will prevail in each of its operating regions. Heating degree days are a general indicator of how weather impacts propane usage
and are calculated for any given period by adding the difference between 65 degrees and the average temperature of each day in the period (if less than 65 degrees).

In determining actual and normal weather for a given period of time, Inergy compares the actual number of heating degree days for such period to the average number of heating degree days for a longer, historical time
period assumed to more accurately reflect the average normal weather, in each case as such information is published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, for each measuring point in each of its regions. When Inergy discusses
normal weather in its results of operations presented below, Inergy is referring to a 30-year average consisting of the years 1976 through 2006. Inergy then calculates weighted averages, based on retail volumes attributable to each
measuring point, of actual and normal heating degree days within each region. Based on this information, Inergy calculates a ratio of actual heating degree days to normal heating degree days, first on a regional basis consistent with our operational
structure and then on a partnership-wide basis.

The retail propane business is a margin-based business where the level of
profitability is largely dependent on the difference between sales prices and product cost. The unit cost of propane is subject to volatile changes as a result of product supply or other market conditions. Propane unit cost changes can occur rapidly
over a short period of time and can impact margins as sales prices may not change as rapidly. There is no assurance that Inergy will be able to fully pass on product cost increases, particularly when product costs increase rapidly. Inergy has
generally been successful in passing on higher propane costs to its customers and has historically maintained or increased its gross margin per gallon in periods of rising costs. In periods of increasing costs, Inergy has experienced a decline in
its gross profit as a percentage of revenues. In periods of decreasing costs, Inergy has experienced an increase in its gross profit as a percentage of revenues. Propane is a by-product of crude oil refining and natural gas processing and,
therefore, its cost tends to correlate with the price fluctuations of these underlying commodities. The prices of crude oil and natural gas have maintained historically high costs in 2005 and 2006, and propane has also been at historically high
costs. As such, our selling prices have been at higher levels in order to attempt to maintain our historical gross margin per gallon. We expect the historical high cost of crude oil and natural gas to remain so for the foreseeable future and
accordingly expect both our propane costs and our selling prices to remain at higher levels. Retail sales generate significantly higher margins than wholesale sales, and sales to residential customers generally generate higher margins than sales to
Inergys other retail customers.

Inergy believes its wholesale supply, marketing and distribution business complements its retail
distribution business. Through Inergys wholesale operations, it distributes propane and also offers price risk management

services to propane retailers, resellers and other related businesses as well as energy marketers and dealers, through a variety of financial and other
instruments, including:



| |  |  | forward contracts involving the physical delivery of propane;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | swap agreements which require payments to (or receipt of payments from) counterparties based on the differential between a fixed and variable price for propane; and
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | options, futures contracts on the New York Mercantile Exchange and other contractual arrangements.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Inergy engages in derivative transactions to reduce the effect of price volatility on its product costs and to help ensure the availability of propane
during periods of short supply. Inergy attempts to balance its contractual portfolio by purchasing volumes only when it has a matching purchase commitment from its wholesale customers. However, Inergy may experience net unbalanced positions from
time to time.

Results of Operations

The results of operations discussed below principally reflect the activities of Inergy. Because our financial statements represent the consolidated results of Inergy, our financial statements are substantially similar to Inergys. The
primary differences in our financial statements include the following amounts in the income statement:



| |  |  | Provision for Income Taxes. Our provision for income taxes is primarily related to cash flows received by certain of our wholly owned corporate subsidiaries.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Interest of Non-Controlling Partners in Inergys Net (Income) Loss. We adjust our net income by excluding the cash flows distributed on Inergy limited partner units
that are not directly or indirectly owned by us. At September 30, 2006, we owned an approximate 8.4% limited partner interest in Inergy together with a 1.0% non-managing general partner interest; and the non-affiliated unitholders owned a 90.6%
limited partner interest in Inergy.

Volume. During fiscal 2006, we sold 360.3 million retail gallons of propane, an
increase of 41.9 million gallons, or 13.2%, from the 318.4 million retail gallons sold in fiscal 2005. The increase in retail sales volume was principally due to the retail propane acquisitions, which combined resulted in a
99.9 million gallon increase. This increase was partially offset by an approximate 58.0 million gallon decline in comparable sales. We believe this is due primarily to a combination of warmer weather and conservation by our customers due
to an approximate 19.4% higher propane cost per gallon in our retail operations in 2006 (excluding the $20.0 million non-cash loss on derivative contracts discussed below) to $1.11 per gallon compared with $0.93 per gallon in 2005 (excluding the
$19.4 million non-cash gain on derivative contracts). Our retail gallon sales will not fluctuate from year to year on a linear basis with the change in weather in our areas of operations. Reasons for this include comparability of geographic areas in
which we operate and varying uses of propane (i.e. space heating, cooking and other applications), among others. Although the weather was approximately 6% warmer in fiscal 2006 as compared to fiscal 2005 (and approximately 10% warmer than normal) in
our retail areas of operations, we experienced erratic weather during the winter months of fiscal 2006 including the months of December 2005 and January 2006, which were approximately 9% colder and 26% warmer, respectively, than the previous
years winter, while the month of March 2006 was 16% warmer than the month of March 2005.

Wholesale gallons delivered decreased
26.0 million gallons, or 6.6%, to 365.3 million gallons in fiscal 2006 from 391.3 million gallons in fiscal 2005. The decrease was primarily attributable to decreased sales volumes of approximately 32.5 million gallons to new and
existing customers due to the warmer weather in 2006 in our wholesale areas of operations. This decrease was partially offset by an increase from acquisition-related volume, which accounted for 6.5 million gallons.

The total natural gas liquid gallons sold by our West Coast operations increased 20.5 million gallons, or 45.7%, to 65.4 million gallons in
fiscal 2006 from 44.9 million gallons in fiscal 2005. This increase was attributable to the addition of natural gas liquid marketing contracts in fiscal 2006. Stagecoach had 13.25 bcf of working gas storage capacity in fiscal 2006 and 2005
which was 100% contracted on average in fiscal 2006 and 85% contracted on average from the date of acquisition (August 9, 2005) to September 30, 2005.

Revenues. Revenues in fiscal 2006 were $1.39 billion, an increase of approximately $337.5 million, or 32.1% from $1.05 billion in fiscal 2005.

Revenues from retail propane sales were $701.1 million in fiscal 2006, an increase of $174.6 million, or 33.2%, from $526.5 million in fiscal 2005. This
increase was primarily the result of $189.2 million of sales related to acquisitions together with an increase of approximately $92.9 million due to higher selling prices of propane due to the higher cost of propane in 2006. These increases were
partially offset by a $107.5 million decline in revenues as a result of lower retail volume sales at our existing locations as discussed above.

##### Table of Contents

Revenues from wholesale propane sales were $371.2 million in fiscal 2006, an increase of $46.1 million or
14.2%, from $325.1 million in fiscal 2005. Approximately $72.6 million of this increase was attributable to the higher sales price of propane and approximately $6.9 million was attributable to acquisition-related volume. These increases were offset
by a decrease of $33.4 million attributable to lower sales volumes to new and existing customers due primarily to warmer weather in the wholesale areas of operations. The higher selling price in our wholesale division in 2006 compared to 2005 is the
result of the higher cost of propane.

Revenues from other retail sales, primarily service, appliance, transportation, and distillates,
were $162.2 million in fiscal 2006, an increase of $40.7 million or 33.5% from $121.5 million in fiscal 2005. This increase was primarily due to acquisitions, which contributed approximately $38.5 million of this increase.

Revenues from storage, fractionation and other midstream activities were $153.1 million in fiscal 2006, an increase of $76.1 million or 98.8% from $77.0
million in fiscal 2005. Approximately $37.8 million of this increase was due to increased volumes and sales price of natural gas liquids at our West Coast NGL operations, approximately $36.0 million of this increase was due to the August 2005
acquisition of the Stagecoach natural gas storage facility and approximately $2.3 million of the increase was due to other changes in Stagecoach revenues and other changes at our West Coast NGL operations related to fractionation, transportation,
and terminaling revenues.

Cost of Product Sold. Retail propane cost of product sold in fiscal 2006 was $420.4 million, an increase
of $145.8 million or 53.1%, from $274.6 million in fiscal 2005. Approximately $79.2 million of this increase was attributable to the approximate 19.4% per gallon higher average cost of propane in our retail division. Retail propane product
costs included a non-cash derivative charge of $20.0 million in 2006 related to fixed price retail propane contracts whereas 2005 retail propane product cost was net of a $19.4 million non-cash derivative gain on those contracts. A net additional
increase of approximately $111.3 million of retail propane product cost is a result of retail propane acquisition-related volume described above offset by a $64.7 million decrease due to lower volumes from existing locations also as discussed above.

Wholesale propane cost of product sold in fiscal 2006 was $359.3 million, an increase of $40.5 million or 12.7%, from wholesale cost of
product sold of $318.8 million in 2005. Contributing to these higher costs was an approximate $66.1 million increase due to the higher average cost of propane and an approximate $7.1 million increase was a result of acquisition-related volume. These
increases were partially offset by a $32.7 million decline due to lower volumes sold in our wholesale propane areas of operations as discussed above.

Other cost of product was $99.6 million, an increase of $27.8 million, from other retail cost of product of $71.8 in fiscal 2005. Approximately $20.8 million of the increase was attributable to acquisitions and $7.0
million was attributable to other volume variances, primarily increased distillate costs.

Storage, fractionation, and other midstream cost
of product sold was $111.1 million, an increase of $52.1 million, or 88.3%, from $59.0 million in fiscal 2005. Approximately $36.6 million of this increase was due to higher volumes and cost of natural gas liquids at the West Coast NGL operations,
approximately $13.9 million was due to the acquisition of the Stagecoach natural gas storage facility and approximately $1.6 million of the increase was due to other changes in Stagecoach cost of sales and other changes at our West Coast NGL
operations cost of sales related to fractionation, transportation, and terminaling revenues.

Our retail cost of product sold consists
primarily of tangible products sold including all propane, distillates and other natural gas liquids sold and all propane-related appliances sold. Other costs incurred in conjunction with the distribution of these products are included in operating
and administrative expenses and consist primarily of wages to delivery personnel and delivery vehicle costs consisting of fuel costs, repair and maintenance and lease expense. These costs approximated $62.4 million and $45.6 million in 2006 and
2005, respectively. In addition, the depreciation expense associated with the delivery vehicles is reported within depreciation and amortization expense and amounted to $15.3 million and $10.8 million in 2006 and 2005,

respectively. Since we include these costs in our operating and administrative expenses rather than in cost of product sold, our results may not be
comparable to other entities in our lines of business if they include these costs in cost of product sold.

Gross Profit. Retail
propane gross profit was $280.7 million in fiscal 2006 compared to $251.9 million in fiscal 2005, an increase of $28.8 million, or 11.4%. Fiscal 2006 gross profit was negatively impacted by a $20.0 million non-cash derivatives charge while fiscal
2005 retail propane gross profit included a $19.4 million non-cash derivatives gain. Excluding these non-cash items, retail propane gross profit increased $68.2 million to $300.7 million in fiscal 2006 from $232.5 million in fiscal 2005. This $68.2
million increase was attributable to higher retail gallons sold as a result of acquisitions, which accounted for an increase of approximately $77.9 million, and improved gross profit per gallon which contributed approximately $32.6 million toward
the increase. Both of these increases were partially offset by lesser retail gallon sales at existing locations resulting in a decrease in gross profit of approximately $42.3 million. The decreased gallon sales are discussed above while the increase
in margin per gallon is primarily the result of our ability to increase our selling prices in certain markets in excess of our increased cost of propane.

Wholesale propane gross profit was $11.9 million in fiscal 2006 compared to $6.3 million in fiscal 2005, an increase of $5.6 million or 88.9%. Approximately $6.4 million of this increase was the result of a higher
margin per gallon from our existing business, partially offset by a $0.8 million decrease in wholesale volumes from our existing business as discussed above. The improved margin per gallon is primarily the result of our ability to increase our
selling prices in certain markets in excess of our increased cost of propane.

Other retail gross profit was $62.6 million in fiscal 2006
compared to $49.7 million in fiscal 2005, an increase of $12.9 million, or 26%, due primarily to acquisition-related increases partially offset by lesser distillate volume sales and higher distillate costs, described above. In addition, decreases in
service revenues and transportation revenues consistent with decreased retail propane volume sales contributed to this decrease in other retail gross profit.

Storage, fractionation, and other midstream gross profit was $42.0 million in fiscal 2006 compared to $18.0 million in fiscal 2005, an increase of $24.0 million, or 133.3%. This increase was due primarily to the
Stagecoach acquisition which accounted for $22.1 million of the increase. In addition, approximately $1.3 million of the increase was due to the increased volume and margins of natural gas liquids and an additional $0.6 million was due to other
Stagecoach margins and other changes at our West Coast NGL operations margins related to fractionation, transportation, and terminaling revenues.

Operating and Administrative Expenses. Operating and administrative expenses increased $52.0 million, or 26.3%, to $249.5 million in fiscal 2006 as compared to $197.6 million in fiscal 2005. Higher costs related to acquisitions,
which accounted for approximately $59.5 million of this increase, were partially offset by a $7.5 million decline in operating expenses from existing operations. The resulting net increases in our operating and administrative expenses were primarily
increases in personnel expenses of $28.0 million, general operating expenses of $15.5 million including insurance, professional services and facility costs, and increased vehicle costs of $8.5 million.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $26.3 million, or 52.2%, to $76.7 million in fiscal 2006 from $50.4 million
in fiscal 2005 primarily as a result of a higher asset base due to Inergys retail propane acquisitions.

Loss on Disposal of
Assets. Loss on sale of assets increased to $11.4 million in fiscal 2006 compared to $0.7 million in fiscal 2005. The loss recognized in fiscal 2006 includes an unrealized loss of approximately $6.6 million related to assets held for sale at
September 30, 2006, which have been written down to their estimated selling price, in addition to realized losses of approximately $4.8 million. These assets, both those sold and those

held for sale, consist primarily of vehicles, tanks and real estate deemed to be excess, redundant or underperforming assets. These assets were identified as
a result of the final integration of the larger retail propane acquisitions closed since November 2004 as Inergy focused on eliminating duplicity in vehicles, operations, tanks and real estate.

Interest Expense and Write-off of Deferred Financing Costs. Interest expense increased $19.8 million, or 55.0%, to $55.9 million in fiscal 2006 as
compared to $36.1 million in fiscal 2005. Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase of $212.6 million in average debt outstanding in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily as a result of net borrowings for acquisitions at Inergy, and an
approximate 100 basis points higher average interest rate in 2006 (7.36%) compared to 2005 (6.36%). During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, we recorded a charge of $7.6 million as a result of the write-off of deferred financing
costs associated with the repayment of both our and Inergys previously existing credit agreement and Inergys 364-day facility.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes is primarily related to certain of our corporate subsidiaries and certain state taxes related to Inergy that have been classified as income taxes in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements, due to the nature of the tax. The provision for income taxes increased to $0.6 million in the year ended September 30, 2006 from $0.5 million in 2005. The provision for income taxes of $0.6 million in the year
ended September 30, 2006 is composed of $1.9 million of current income tax and $1.3 million of deferred income tax benefit. The 2005 provision for income taxes of $0.5 million is composed of $1.3 million of current income tax and a deferred
income tax benefit of $0.8 million.

Interest of Non-controlling Partners in Inergys Net (Income) Loss. We recorded
income of $8.0 million in the year ended September 30, 2006, as compared to an expense of $26.8 million in 2005 associated with the interests of non-controlling partners in Inergy. The $34.8 million change resulted primarily from a $28.8
million decrease in Inergys net income, which had the effect of reducing the interest of non-controlling partners in Inergys net income. Also contributing to the change was a $10.3 million increase in incentive distribution rights
received by the Company from Inergy, to which the non-controlling partners are not entitled, partially offset by a $4.3 million decline in other related income from minority interests in Inergy.

Net Income. Net income increased to $14.4 million for the year ended September 30, 2006 from $8.3 million in 2005. The increase in net
income was primarily attributable to a $34.8 million increase in income related to the interest of non-controlling partners in Inergys net income as well as a higher gross profit at Inergy during 2006. Partially offsetting these increases in
net income were increases in operating and administrative expenses, non-cash expenses, interest expense, income taxes and loss on disposal of assets, all discussed above.

Volume. During fiscal 2005, we sold 318.4 million retail gallons of propane, an
increase of 177.7 million gallons, or 126.3%, from the 140.7 million retail gallons sold in fiscal 2004. The increase in retail sales volume was principally due to the December 2004 acquisition of Star Gas and 5 other retail propane
companies acquired in fiscal 2005, which combined resulted in a 197.5 million gallon increase. This increase was partially offset by an approximate 19.8 million gallon decline in comparable sales. We believe this is due primarily to a
combination of warmer weather and conservation by our customers due to an approximate 24% higher propane cost in our retail operations (excluding the $19.4 million non-cash gain on derivative contracts discussed below) to $0.93 per gallon on average
in 2005 compared with $0.75 in 2004. Our retail gallon sales will not fluctuate from year to year on a linear basis with the change in weather in our areas of operations. Reasons for this include

comparability of geographic areas in which we operate and varying uses of propane (i.e. space heating, cooking and other applications), among others.
Although the weather was only approximately 1% warmer in fiscal 2005 as compared to fiscal 2004 (and approximately 6% warmer than normal) in our retail areas of operations, we experienced erratic weather during the winter months of fiscal 2005
including the months of January and February of 2005 being approximately 12% and 15%, warmer, respectively, than the same months of 2004 while the month of March 2005 was 28% colder than the month of March 2004.

Wholesale gallons delivered increased 23.0 million gallons, or 6.2%, to 391.3 million gallons in fiscal 2005 from 368.3 million gallons in
fiscal 2004. This increase was primarily attributable to acquisition-related volume, which accounted for 13.2 million gallons of this increase. Additionally, increased sales volumes to new and existing customers, partially offset by the warmer
weather in 2005 in our wholesale areas of operations accounted for a net increase of 9.8 million gallons.

The fractionation and
throughput gallons of NGLs in our West Coast operations increased 40.1 million gallons, or 34.9%, to 154.9 million gallons in fiscal 2005 from 114.8 million gallons in fiscal 2004. These increases were all primarily attributable to
increased sales volumes to new and existing customers. From August 9, 2005, the date of the Stagecoach acquisition, Stagecoach had 13.25 bcf of working gas capacity. Storage at Stagecoach was 85% contracted on average from August 9, 2005
to September 30, 2005.

Revenues. Revenues in fiscal 2005 were $1.05 billion, an increase of approximately $567.5 million, or
117.6%, from $482.5 million in fiscal 2004.

Revenues from retail propane sales were $526.5 million in fiscal 2005, an increase of $330.2
million, or 168.2%, from $196.3 million in fiscal 2004. This increase was primarily the result of $327.9 million of sales related to the Star Gas acquisition and other acquisitions together with an increase of approximately $36.4 million due to
higher selling prices of propane due to the higher cost of propane in 2005. These increases were partially offset by a $34.1 million decline in revenues as a result of lower retail volume sales at our existing locations as discussed above.

Revenues from wholesale propane sales were $325.1 million in fiscal 2005, an increase of $90.2 million or 38.4%, from $234.9 million in
fiscal 2004. Approximately $71.1 million of this increase was attributable to the higher cost of propane, approximately $14.7 million was attributable to acquisition-related volume, and $4.4 million was attributable to volume increases generated in
our wholesale propane operations. The higher selling price in our wholesale division in 2005 compared to 2004 is the result of the higher cost of propane.

Revenues from other retail sales, primarily service, appliance, transportation, and distillates, were $121.5 million in fiscal 2005, an increase of $99.7 million or 457.3% from $21.8 million in fiscal 2004. This
increase was primarily due to the Star Gas acquisition, which contributed approximately $90.2 million of this increase.

Revenues from
storage, fractionation and other midstream activities were $77.0 million in fiscal 2005, an increase of $47.5 million or 161.0% from $29.5 million in fiscal 2004. Approximately $43.7 million of this increase was due to increased volumes and sales
prices of natural gas, butane, and isobutane. Approximately $3.8 million of this increase was due to the acquisition of the Stagecoach natural gas storage facility.

Cost of Product Sold. Retail propane cost of product sold in fiscal 2005 was $274.6 million, an increase of $169.5 million or 161.3%, from $105.1 million in fiscal 2004. Approximately $24.6 million of this
increase was attributable to the higher average cost of propane (excluding the non-cash gain on derivative contracts discussed below) in our retail division and a net additional increase of approximately $164.3 million as a result of retail propane
acquisition-related volume described above in excess of the lesser volumes from existing locations. These increases were offset by a non-cash gain on derivative contracts of $19.4 million which will reverse in the first two quarters of fiscal 2006
as the physical gallons are delivered to retail customers.

Wholesale propane cost of product sold in fiscal 2005 was $318.8 million, an
increase of $89.7 million or 39.2%, from wholesale cost of product sold of $229.1 million in 2004. Approximately $71.0 million of this

increase was a result of the higher average cost of product, approximately $14.4 million of this increase was a result of acquisition-related volume, and
approximately $4.3 million of this increase was the result of higher volumes experienced in our wholesale propane areas of operations.

Other retail cost of product was $71.8 million, an increase of $64.7 million, from other retail cost of product of $7.1 in fiscal 2004. This increase was primarily due to acquisition-related volume.

Fractionation, storage, and other midstream cost of product sold was $59.0 million, an increase of $41.2 million, or 231.5%, from $17.8 million in fiscal
2004. Approximately $40.5 million of this increase was due to higher volumes and cost of natural gas, butane, and isobutane at the West Coast NGL operations, and approximately $0.7 million was due to acquisition-related volume from the Stagecoach
natural gas storage facility.

Our cost of product sold consists primarily of tangible products sold including all propane, distillates and
other natural gas liquids sold and all propane-related appliances sold. Other costs incurred in conjunction with the distribution of these products are included in operating and administrative expenses and consist primarily of wages to delivery
personnel and delivery vehicle costs consisting of fuel costs, repair and maintenance and lease expense. These costs approximated $45.6 million and $23.5 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition, the depreciation expense associated with
the delivery vehicles is reported within depreciation and amortization expense and amounted to $10.8 million and $4.7 million in 2005 and 2004, respectively. Since we include these costs in our operating and administrative expenses rather than in
cost of product sold, our results may not be comparable to other entities in our lines of business if they include these costs in cost of product sold.

Gross Profit. Retail propane gross profit was $251.9 million in fiscal 2005 compared to $91.2 million in fiscal 2004, an increase of $160.7 million, or 176.2%. This increase was primarily attributable to an
increase in retail gallons sold primarily as a result of acquisitions, which accounted for approximately $142.8 million, an increase attributable to a non-cash gain of $19.4 million on derivative contracts discussed above, as well as an increase in
margin per gallon, which resulted in an increase of approximately $11.8 million. These increases were partially offset by lower retail propane gross profit of approximately $13.3 million at our existing locations as a result of lower volume sales
discussed above. The increase in margin per gallon is primarily the result of our ability to increase our selling prices in certain markets in excess of our increased cost of propane.

Wholesale propane gross profit was $6.3 million in fiscal 2005 compared to $5.8 million in fiscal 2004, an increase of $0.5 million or 8.6%.
Approximately $0.2 million of this increase was a result of increased margin per gallon from our existing business and $0.3 million of the increase was due to acquisition-related volume and increased wholesale volumes from our existing business.

Other retail gross profit was $49.7 million in fiscal 2005 compared to $14.7 million in fiscal 2004, an increase of $35.0 million, or
238.1%. This increase was due primarily to acquisition-related volume.

Fractionation, storage, and other midstream gross profit was $18.0
million in fiscal 2005 compared to $11.7 million in fiscal 2004, an increase of $6.3 million, or 53.8%. This increase was due primarily to acquisition-related volume of $3.3 million and $3.0 million due to increased volumes and margins to existing
customers.

Operating and Administrative Expenses. Operating and administrative expenses increased $116.2 million, or 142.8%,
to $197.6 million in fiscal 2005 as compared to $81.4 million in fiscal 2004. The increase in our operating and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to Inergys acquisition-related costs, including increases in personnel expenses
of $70.6 million, general operating expenses of $33.0 million including insurance, professional services and facility costs, and increased vehicle costs of $12.6 million.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $29.3 million, or 139.0%, to $50.4 million in fiscal 2005 from $21.1 million in fiscal 2004 as a result of Inergys retail propane
acquisitions and the acquisition of the Stagecoach natural gas storage facility.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $28.2 million, or 355.5%, to $36.1 million in
fiscal 2005 as compared to $7.9 million in fiscal 2004. Interest expense increased primarily due to an increase of $392.1 million in average debt outstanding in 2005 compared to 2004 primarily as a result of net borrowings for acquisitions at
Inergy, and an approximate 1.4% higher average interest rate in 2005 compared to 2004.

Interest Expense and Income related to
Make-Whole Premium Charge, Write-off of Deferred Financing Costs, and Swap Value Received. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005, a charge of $7.6 million was recorded as a result of the write-off of deferred financing costs
associated with the repayment of both our and Inergys previously existing credit agreements and Inergys 364-day facility. During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2004, Inergy repaid in full its $85.0 million senior secured notes
before their scheduled maturity dates. As such, Inergy was required to pay an additional amount of approximately $17.9 million as a make whole payment, which was recorded as a charge to earnings in the quarter ended March 31, 2004. Inergy used
proceeds from its January 2004 common unit offering and borrowings from its bank credit facility for this repayment. In addition, Inergy also recorded a charge to earnings of approximately $1.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2004, to
write-off deferred financing costs associated with the senior secured notes. Partially offsetting these charges was a $0.9 million gain from the cancellation of interest rate swap agreements also associated with Inergys senior secured notes.

Provision for Income Taxes. The provision for income taxes is primarily related to certain of our corporate subsidiaries. The
provision for income taxes increased to $0.5 million in the year ended September 30, 2005 from $0.2 million in 2004. The provision for income taxes of $0.5 million in the year ended September 30, 2005 is composed of $1.3 million of current
income tax and a deferred income tax benefit of $0.8 million. The 2004 provision for income taxes of $0.2 million is composed of $1.8 million of current income tax expense partially offset by $1.6 million of deferred income tax benefit.

Interest of Non-Controlling Partners in Inergys Net (Income) Loss. We recorded an expense of $26.8 million in the year ended
September 30, 2005, as compared to income of $4.8 million in 2004 associated with the interests of non-controlling partners in Inergy. The $31.6 million increase in expense is primarily the result of higher net income reported by Inergy of
$38.6 million in the year ended September 30, 2005 as compared to a loss of $4.6 million in 2004.

Net Income. Net income
increased to $8.3 million for the year ended September 30, 2005 from $0.1 million in 2004. The increase in net income was primarily attributable to increases in Inergys retail and wholesale gross profit, partially offset by increases in
operating and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, and interest expense, all primarily the result of acquisitions, and by higher expenses reported for the interest in non-controlling partners in Inergys net income and the
provision for income taxes.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

Capital Resource Activities

In September 2005, Inergy issued 6,500,000 common units to unrelated third parties resulting in
net proceeds after underwriters discounts, commissions, and offering expenses of $180.4 million. These proceeds were obtained to repay borrowings under Inergys Credit Agreement (as defined below), which were incurred to make certain
acquisitions, including the acquisition of the Stagecoach natural gas storage facility.

In October 2005, the underwriters of Inergys
6,500,000 common unit offering exercised a portion of their over-allotment and Inergy issued an additional 900,000 common units in a follow-on offering, resulting in proceeds of approximately $24.7 million, net of underwriters discounts,
commissions, and offering expenses. These funds were used to repay borrowings under Inergys Credit Agreement.

On January 11,
2006, Inergy and its wholly owned subsidiary Inergy Finance Corporation issued $200 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2016 in a private placement to eligible purchasers. See Senior Unsecured Notes
section below for further information.

##### Table of Contents

On March 23, 2006, Inergys shelf registration statement (File No. 333-132287) was
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the periodic sale by Inergy of up to $1.0 billion of common units, partnership securities and debt securities, or any combination thereof. Pursuant to the shelf registration statement,
Inergy is permitted to issue these securities from time to time for general business purposes, including debt repayment, future acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital, or for other potential uses identified in a prospectus
supplement. In June 2006, Inergy issued 4,312,500 common units, under the shelf registration statement, which included 562,500 common units issued as result of the underwriters exercising their over-allotment provision. There is approximately $896.9
million remaining available under this shelf. No further partnership securities or debt securities have been offered under the shelf registration except as described above.

Inergy has identified growth projects related to its Stagecoach and West Coast NGL midstream assets that are expected to require a capital investment of
approximately $225 million to complete. Through September 30, 2006, Inergy has invested approximately $20.6 million toward completion of these projects. These projects include expansion of the Stagecoach natural gas storage facility, which is
expected to increase Inergys working storage capacity of natural gas to approximately 26.35 bcf through the addition of approximately 13.1 bcf of storage to its existing 13.25 bcf working storage capacity. All necessary regulatory approvals
have been received and construction of the expansion is underway. The expanded facilities are expected to be in service by the fall of 2007. Stagecoach is also expected to construct a pipeline interconnect with the proposed Millennium Pipeline which
will enhance and further diversify our supply sources and provide interruptible wheeling opportunities to its shipper community. In addition, we presently have an agreement with a customer of Stagecoach whereby that customer provides certain asset
management services through utilization of its firm storage capacity and related firm transportation on Tennessee Gas Pipeline. The agreement expires in June 2007 at which time we will either renegotiate this agreement, execute a similar agreement
with a different customer or internalize these asset management services within Stagecoach with an additional investment of approximately $26 million. However, we are presently in negotiations with another customer and expect to execute a new asset
management services agreement prior to June 2007. The West Coast project consists of the construction of a butane isomerization unit and related ancillary facilities, as well as the expansion of butane storage capacity. The isomerization unit is
projected to have a capacity of 10,000 barrels per day and provide isobutane supplies to refiners or wholesale distributors for gasoline blending. This project is subject to regulatory approval by state and county agencies and is expected to be in
service by January 2008.

Cash Flows and Contractual Obligations

Net operating cash inflows were $99.9 million and $84.1 million for fiscal years ending September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The $15.8 million increase in operating cash flows was primarily attributable to
the increase in working capital balances and net income, partially offset by a decrease in the interest of non-controlling partners in Inergys net income.

Net investing cash outflows were $210.9 million and $840.7 million for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. We funded acquisitions of $187.2 million in 2006 compared to $810.2
million in 2005, a decrease of $623.0 million. Additionally, proceeds from the sale of assets increased $7.3 million in fiscal year 2006 compared to fiscal year 2005, which reduced cash outflows from investing activities. These reductions in net
investing cash outflows related to acquisitions and proceeds from the sale of assets were partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in capital expenditures and a slight increase in deferred financing and acquisition costs.

Net financing cash inflows were $113.6 million and $763.8 million for the fiscal years ending September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Net
financing cash inflows were primarily impacted by $187.2 million and $810.1 million of Inergys acquisitions financed in 2006 and 2005, respectively. The lesser acquisitions financed in 2006 versus 2005 were the primary reason for a $321.0
million period to period decrease in proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, net of payments on long-term debt, and a $283.2 million decrease in proceeds from the issuance of Inergy common units. Cash outflows were also impacted by a $28.4
million period to period increase in distributions to non-controlling partners in Inergy, an $80.0 million decrease

in proceeds from the issuance of our common units, and a $5.6 million decrease in proceeds from partners contributions. Offsetting these was a $4.1
million increase due to the exercise of stock options, a $19.3 million decrease in the payments for deferred financing costs, a $3.1 million decrease in the purchase of subordinated units in Inergy, a $3.0 million increase in redemption of
partners interest, and a $38.5 million decrease in distributions.

At September 30, 2006 and 2005, we had goodwill of $339.7
million and $256.6 million, representing approximately 21% and 17% of total assets at each period, respectively. This goodwill is primarily attributable to Inergys acquisitions.

At September 30, 2006, we were in compliance with all debt covenants to our credit facilities.

The following table summarizes our Companys obligations as of September 30, 2006 (in thousands):

|(a) | $178.0 million of our long-term debt, including interest rate swaps, is variable interest rate debt at prime rate or LIBOR plus an applicable spread. These rates plus their
applicable spreads were between 7.08% and 8.50% at September 30, 2006. These rates have been applied for each period presented in the table.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition to its fixed price purchase commitments, Inergy also had forward purchase energy contracts. As of September 30, 2006, Inergys total energy contracts had an outstanding net fair value of $(2.8)
million, as compared to a net fair value of $8.8 million as of September 30, 2005. The decrease of $11.6 million includes a net decrease in fair value of $6.6 million from energy contracts settled during the 2006 fiscal year period and a net
decrease of $4.4 million from other changes in fair value related to net unrealized losses on energy contracts still outstanding at the end of fiscal 2006. Of the outstanding fair value as of September 30, 2006, all energy contracts mature
within fifteen months.

We believe that anticipated cash from operations and borrowings under the credit facilities described below will be
sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. If our plans or assumptions change or are inaccurate, or we make any acquisitions, we may need to raise additional capital.

Description of Credit Facilities

Holdings

On August 9, 2005, we entered into a $25 million term loan with a bank (Term Loan). The maturity date of the Term Loan is August 9,
2008, and is collateralized by certain of our interests in Inergy, L.P. In addition, the Term Loan is guaranteed by IPCH Acquisition Corp. and New Inergy Propane, LLC. The proceeds from this loan were used to acquire 769,941 special units in Inergy,
L.P. in connection with the acquisition of the rights to the Phase II expansion project of the Stagecoach acquisition. The Term Loan contains several covenants which, among other things, require the maintenance of various financial performance
ratios, restrict the payment of distributions to unitholders, and require financial reports to be submitted periodically to the financial institutions.

##### Table of Contents

On July 22, 2005, we executed a credit agreement (Bank Facility) with a bank. The Bank
Facility consists of a $15 million working capital revolver for Inergy Holdings, L.P. and a $5 million working capital revolver for IPCH Acquisition Corp. The maturity date of the Bank Facility is July 22, 2008, and is collateralized by certain
of our interests in Inergy, L.P. In addition, the Bank Facility is guaranteed by New Inergy Propane, LLC. The prime rate and LIBOR plus the applicable spreads were 7.08% at September 30, 2006 for all outstanding debt under the Bank Facility.
The Bank Facility contains several covenants which, among other things, require the maintenance of various financial performance ratios, restrict the payment of distributions to unitholders, and require financial reports to be submitted periodically
to the financial institutions.

Inergy

On December 17, 2004, Inergy entered into a 5-Year Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with its existing lenders in addition to others. The Credit Agreement consists of a $75 million revolving working capital facility
(Working Capital Facility) and a $350 million revolving acquisition facility (Acquisition Facility). The Credit Agreement carries terms, conditions and covenants as further described below. The Credit Agreement is secured by
a first priority lien on substantially all of Inergys assets and those of its domestic subsidiaries and the pledge of all of the equity interests or membership interests in its domestic subsidiaries. In addition, the Credit Agreement is
guaranteed by each of Inergys domestic subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement accrues interest at either prime rate or LIBOR plus applicable spreads, resulting in interest rates between 7.08% and 8.50% at September 30, 2006. At
September 30, 2006, there was no amount outstanding under the Acquisition Facility and $22.7 million under the Working Capital Facility. Unused borrowings under the Credit Agreement amounted to $369.4 million and $276.2 million at
September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Outstanding standby letters of credit under the Credit Agreement amounted to $32.9 million and $22.0 million at September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

During each fiscal year beginning October 1, the outstanding balance of the Working Capital Facility must be reduced to $10.0 million or less for a
minimum of 30 consecutive days during the period commencing March 1 and ending September 30 of each calendar year.

At
Inergys option, loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at either the prime rate or LIBOR (preadjusted for reserves), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin varies quarterly based on its leverage ratio. Inergy
also pays a fee based on the average daily unused commitments under the Credit Agreement.

Inergy is required to use 50% of the net cash
proceeds (that are not applied to purchase replacement assets) from asset dispositions (other than the sale of inventory and motor vehicles in the ordinary course of business, sales of assets among Inergy and its domestic subsidiaries, and the sale
or disposition of obsolete or worn-out equipment) to reduce borrowings under the Credit Agreement during any fiscal year in which unapplied net cash proceeds are in excess of $50 million. Any such mandatory prepayments are first applied to reduce
borrowings under the Acquisition Facility and then under the Working Capital Facility.

In addition, the Credit Agreement contains various
covenants limiting the ability of Inergy and its subsidiaries to (subject to various exceptions), among other things:



| |  |  | grant or incur liens;
| | - |  | ---------------------



| |  |  | incur other indebtedness (other than permitted debt as defined in the Credit Agreement);
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

utilization of the acquisition revolver.

Senior Unsecured Notes

2016 Senior Notes

On January 11, 2006, Inergy and its wholly owned subsidiary, Inergy Finance
Corp (Finance Corp. and together with Inergy, the Issuers), issued $200 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2016 (the 2016 Senior Notes) in a private placement to eligible
purchasers.

The 2016 Senior Notes contain covenants similar to the existing senior unsecured notes due 2014. Inergy used the net proceeds
of the offering to repay outstanding indebtedness under its revolving acquisition credit facility. The 2016 Senior Notes represent senior unsecured obligations of Inergy and rank pari passuin right of payment with all other present and
future senior indebtedness of Inergy. The 2016 Senior Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by all of Inergys current domestic subsidiaries and have certain call features which allow Inergy to redeem the notes at specified prices based on
date redeemed.

On May 18, 2006, Inergy completed an offer to exchange its existing 8.25% 2016 Senior Notes for $200 million of 8.25%
senior notes due 2016 (the 2016 Exchange Notes) that are registered and do not carry transfer restrictions, registration rights and provisions for additional interest. The 2016 Exchange Notes did not provide us with any additional
proceeds and satisfied our obligations under the registration rights agreement.

Before March 1, 2009, Inergy may, at any time or from
time to time, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Senior Notes with the net proceeds of a public or private equity offering at 108.25% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if
at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes remains outstanding after such redemption and the redemption occurs within 150 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.

The 2016 Senior Notes are redeemable, at Inergys option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 1, 2011, in each case at the
redemption prices described in the table below, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the redemption.

2014 Senior Notes

On December 22, 2004, the Issuers completed a private placement of $425 million in aggregate principal amount of the Issuers 6.875% senior unsecured notes due 2014 (the 2014 Senior Notes).
Inergy used the net proceeds from the 2014 Senior Notes to repay all amounts drawn under a 364-day credit facility which was entered into in order to fund the acquisition of Star Gas and is no longer available to Inergy, with the $39.9 million
remaining balance of the net proceeds applied to the Acquisition Facility.

The 2014 Senior Notes represent senior unsecured obligations of
Inergy and rank pari passu in right of payment with all other present and future senior indebtedness of Inergy. The 2014 Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to all of Inergys secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the
assets securing the indebtedness and to all existing and future indebtedness and liabilities, including trade payables, of Inergys non-guarantor subsidiaries. The 2014 Senior Notes rank senior in right of payment to all of Inergys future
subordinated indebtedness.

The 2014 Senior Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by all of Inergys current domestic
subsidiaries. The subsidiaries guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of the existing and future senior indebtedness of our guarantor subsidiaries. The subsidiaries guarantees are effectively subordinated to all existing and future
secured indebtedness of our guarantor subsidiaries to the extent of the value of the assets securing that indebtedness and to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of our non-guarantor subsidiaries
(other than indebtedness and other liabilities owed to Inergy). The subsidiaries guarantees rank senior in right of payment to all of Inergys future subordinated indebtedness.

In October 2005, Inergy completed an offer to exchange our existing 2014 Senior Notes for $425 million of 6.875% senior notes due 2014 (the 2014
Exchange Notes) that are registered and do not carry transfer restrictions, registration rights and provisions for additional interest. The 2014 Exchange Notes did not provide us with any additional proceeds and satisfied our obligations under
the registration rights agreement.

Before December 15, 2007, Inergy may, at any time or from time to time, redeem up to 35% of the
aggregate principal amount of the 2014 Senior Notes with the net proceeds of a public or private equity offering at 106.875% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if at least 65% of the aggregate
principal amount of the notes remains outstanding after such redemption and the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.

The 2014 Senior Notes are redeemable, at Inergys option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after December 15, 2009, in each case at the redemption prices described in the table below, together with any
accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the redemption.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) was issued in September 2006 to define fair value, establish a framework for
measuring fair value according to generally accepted accounting principles, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is required to be adopted by Inergy for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2008. We will be evaluating
the potential financial statement impact of SFAS 157 to our consolidated financial statements.

##### Table of Contents

SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (SFAS 155)
amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. SFAS 155 permits
fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation. It also establishes a requirement to evaluate securitized financial assets to identify interests that are
freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entitys first fiscal
year that begins after September 15, 2006. We will be evaluating the potential financial statement impact of SFAS 155 to our consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS 154) is a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting
Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. SFAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes the accounting for and a reporting of a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective
application to the prior periods financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. SFAS 154 is effective for the accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 154 is not expected to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In March
2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligationsan interpretation of SFAS No. 143 (FIN 47). FIN 47
clarifies that the term conditional retirement obligation, as used in SFAS No. 143, Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing or method of settlement, or
both, are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. An entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be
reasonably estimated. FIN 47 was required to be adopted by Inergy for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. We have evaluated the impact of FIN 47 and determined that it does not have a material effect on the financial statements in the
current year as well as all prior years considered.

EITF 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same
Counterparty addresses the accounting for an entitys sale of inventory to another entity from which it also purchases inventory to be sold in the same line of business. EITF 04-13 concludes that two or more inventory transactions with
the same counterparty should be accounted for as a single non-monetary transaction at fair value or recorded amounts based on inventory classifications. EITF 04-13 is effective for new arrangements entered into, and modifications or renewal of
existing arrangements, beginning in the first interim or annual reporting period beginning after March 15, 2006. We have evaluated the impact of EITF 04-13 and determined that it does not have a material effect on our financial position,
results of operations and cash flows.

Critical Accounting Policies

Accounting for Price Risk Management.Inergy utilizes certain derivative financial instruments to (i) manage its exposure to commodity price risk, specifically, the related change in the fair value of
inventories, as well as the variability of cash flows related to forecasted transactions; (ii) to ensure adequate physical supply of propane and heating oil will be available; and (iii) manage its exposure to interest rate risk. Inergy
records all derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at estimated fair value under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), as amended. Changes in the fair value of these derivative financial instruments, primarily resulting from variability in supply and demand, are recorded either through current earnings or as other
comprehensive income, depending on the type of transaction.

On the date the derivative contract is entered into, Inergy generally
designates specific derivatives as either a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge), or a hedge of a forecasted



58



---

##### Table of Contents

transaction (cash flow hedge). Inergy documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and
strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. Inergy uses regression analysis or the dollar offset method to assess, both at the hedges inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are
highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective as a hedge or that is has ceased to be a highly effective hedge, Inergy discontinues hedge accounting
prospectively. When hedge accounting is discontinued because it is determined that the derivative no longer qualifies as an effective hedge, Inergy continues to carry the derivative on the balance sheet at its fair value, and recognize changes in
the fair value of the derivative through current-period earnings.

Inergy is party to certain commodity derivative financial instruments
that are designated as hedges of selected inventory positions, and qualify as fair value hedges, as defined in SFAS 133. Inergys overall objective for entering into fair value hedges is to manage its exposure to fluctuations in commodity
prices and changes in the fair market value of its inventories. These derivatives are recorded at fair value on the balance sheets as price risk management assets or liabilities and the related change in fair value is recorded to earnings in the
current period as cost of product sold. Any ineffective portion of the fair value hedges is recognized as cost of product sold in the current period.

Inergy also enters into derivative financial instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges, which hedge the exposure of variability in expected future cash flows attributable to a particular risk. These derivatives are
recorded on the balance sheet at fair value as price risk management assets or liabilities. The effective portion of the gain or loss on these cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income in partners capital and reclassified into
earnings in the same period in which the hedge transaction closes. Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss is recognized as cost of product sold in the current period.

The cash flow impact of financial instruments is reflected as cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Revenue Recognition. Sales of propane and other liquids are recognized at the later of the time the product is shipped or delivered
to the customer. Gas processing and fractionation fees are recognized upon delivery of the product. Revenue from the sale of propane appliances and equipment is recognized at the later of the time of sale or installation. Revenue from repairs and
maintenance is recognized upon completion of the service. Revenue from storage contracts is recognized during the period in which storage services are provided.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, (SFAS 142) goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by
applying a fair-value-based test. Additionally, an acquired intangible asset should be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible asset can be sold,
transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, regardless of the acquirers intent to do so.

Under the provisions of SFAS 142, we
completed the valuation of each of our reporting units and determined no impairment existed as of September 30, 2006.

Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144) modifies the financial accounting and reporting for long-lived assets to be disposed of by sale and it
broadens the presentation of discontinued operations to include more disposal transactions. The value of assets to be disposed of is estimated at the date a commitment to dispose the asset is made.

Self Insurance. Inergy is insured by third parties, subject to varying retention levels of self-insurance, which management considers
prudent. Such self-insurance relates to losses and liabilities primarily associated with medical claims, workers compensation claims, general, product and vehicle liability, and environmental



59

exposures. Losses are accrued based upon managements estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred using certain assumptions followed in the
insurance industry and based on past experience.

Factors That May Affect Future Results of Operations, Financial Condition or Business



| |  |  | Inergy may not be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to allow it to pay the minimum quarterly distribution.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Since weather conditions may adversely affect the demand for propane, Inergys financial condition and results of operations are vulnerable to, and will be adversely affected
by, warm winters.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | If Inergy does not continue to make acquisitions on economically acceptable terms, Inergys future financial performance will be reliant upon internal growth and efficiencies.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Inergy cannot assure you that it will be successful in integrating its recent acquisitions.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Sudden and sharp propane price increases that cannot be passed on to customers may adversely affect Inergys profit margins.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Inergys indebtedness may limit its ability to borrow additional funds, make distributions to unitholders or capitalize on acquisition or other business opportunities.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The highly competitive nature of the retail propane business could cause Inergy to lose customers, thereby reducing Inergys revenues.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | If Inergy is not able to purchase propane from its principal suppliers, its results of operations would be adversely affected.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Competition from alternative energy sources may cause Inergy to lose customers, thereby reducing its revenues.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Inergys business would be adversely affected if service at its principal storage facilities or on the common carrier pipelines it uses is interrupted.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Terrorist attacks, such as the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, have resulted in increased costs, and future war or risk of war may adversely impact Inergys
results of operations.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Inergy is subject to operating and litigation risks that could adversely affect its operating results to the extent not covered by insurance.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Inergys results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by governmental regulation and associated environmental regulatory costs.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Energy efficiency and new technology may reduce the demand for propane.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Due to Inergys lack of asset diversification, adverse developments in its propane business would reduce its ability to make distributions to its unitholders.

See Item 1ARisk Factors for further discussion of factors that could impact our business.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

Together with Inergy, we have long-term debt and revolving lines of credit subject to the risk of loss associated with movements in interest rates. At
September 30, 2006, we had floating rate obligations totaling approximately $178.0 million including amounts borrowed under our credit agreements and interest rate swaps, which convert fixed rate debt associated with the same amount of
principal of Inergys 2014 Senior Notes to floating, with aggregate notional amounts of $125 million. The floating rate obligations expose us to the risk of increased interest expense in the event of increases in short-term interest rates.



60



---

##### Table of Contents

If the floating rate were to fluctuate by 100 basis points from September 2006 levels, our combined
interest expense would change by a total of approximately $1.8 million per year.

Commodity Price, Market and Credit Risk

Inherent in Inergys contractual portfolio are certain business risks, including market risk and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the value
of the portfolio will change, either favorably or unfavorably, in response to changing market conditions. Credit risk is the risk of loss from nonperformance by suppliers, customers or financial counterparties to a contract. Inergy takes an active
role in managing and controlling market and credit risk and has established control procedures, which are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Inergy monitors market risk through a variety of techniques, including daily reporting of the portfolios
position to senior management. Inergy attempts to minimize credit risk exposure through credit policies and periodic monitoring procedures as well as through customer deposits, letters of credit and entering into netting agreements that allow for
offsetting counterparty receivable and payable balances for certain financial transactions, as deemed appropriate. The counterparties associated with assets from price risk management activities as of September 30, 2006 and 2005 were propane
retailers, resellers, energy marketers and dealers.

The propane industry is a margin-based business in which gross profits
depend on the excess of sales prices over supply costs. As a result, Inergys profitability will be sensitive to changes in wholesale prices of propane caused by changes in supply or other market conditions. When there are sudden and sharp
increases in the wholesale cost of propane, Inergy may not be able to pass on these increases to its customers through retail or wholesale prices. Propane is a commodity and the price Inergy pays for it can fluctuate significantly in response to
supply or other market conditions. Inergy has no control over supply or market conditions. In addition, the timing of cost pass-throughs can significantly affect margins. Sudden and extended wholesale price increases could reduce Inergys gross
profits and could, if continued over an extended period of time, reduce demand by encouraging its retail customers to conserve or convert to alternative energy sources.

Inergy engages in hedging and risk management transactions, including various types of forward contracts, options, swaps and future contracts, to reduce the effect of price volatility on Inergys product costs,
protect the value of its inventory positions, and to help ensure the availability of propane during periods of short supply. Inergy attempts to balance its contractual portfolio by purchasing volumes only when Inergy has a matching purchase
commitment from its wholesale customers. However, Inergy may experience net unbalanced positions from time to time which it believes to be immaterial in amount. In addition to Inergys ongoing policy to maintain a balanced position, for
accounting purposes Inergy is required, on an ongoing basis, to track and report the market value of its purchase obligations and its sales commitments.

Notional Amounts and Terms

The notional amounts and terms of these financial instruments include the following at
September 30, 2006 and 2005 (in millions):



|                                  |  |                  |  |                     |  |                  |  |

Notional amounts reflect the volume of transactions, but do not accurately measure our exposure to
market or credit risks.

Fair Value

The fair value of the derivatives and inventory exchange contracts related to price risk management activities as of September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005 was assets of $46.2 million and $58.4 million,



61

##### Table of Contents

respectively, and liabilities of $49.0 million and $49.6 million, respectively. All intercompany transactions have been appropriately eliminated.

The net change in unrealized gains and losses related to all price risk management activities, including Wholesale inventory accounted for under a
fair value hedge, and propane based financial instruments, for the years ended September 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004 of $(39.5) million, $24.1 million, and $(1.2) million, respectively, are included in cost of product sold in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations. Included in the above $(39.5) million is $(19.4) million due to the reversal of the non-cash gain recorded in the year ended September 30, 2005, and changes in fair value of other price risk management
activities, including $(16.6) million which is deferred in Inergys Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income at September 30, 2006. Included in the above $24.1 million from the previous year is a non-cash gain of $19.4 million related to
derivative contracts. No similar gain or loss was recognized in the year ended September 30, 2004. The market prices used to value these transactions reflect managements best estimate considering various factors including closing exchange
and over-the-counter quotations, recent transactions, time value and volatility factors underlying the commitments.

The following table
summarizes the change in the unrealized fair value of energy contracts related to risk management activities for the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 where settlement has not yet occurred (in thousands):

Inergy uses observable market values for determining the fair value of its trading instruments. In
cases where actively quoted prices are not available, other external sources are used which incorporate information about commodity prices in actively quoted markets, quoted prices in less active markets and other market fundamental analysis.
Inergys risk management department regularly compares valuations to independent sources and models.

Of the outstanding unrealized
gain (loss) as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, $(2.7) million and $8.8 million have or will mature within 12 months, respectively. Contracts with a maturity of greater than one year were not significant.

Sensitivity Analysis

A theoretical change of 10% in
the underlying commodity value would result in no significant change in the market value of the contracts as there were approximately 0.3 million gallons of net unbalanced positions at September 30, 2006.

Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.

Reference is made to the financial statements and
report of independent registered public accounting firm included later in this report under Item 15.

Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure.

information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the SEC, and that
information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. An evaluation was performed under the
supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in
Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were adequate and effective as of
September 30, 2006. There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13(e)-15 or Rule 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) or in other factors during the fiscal year covered by this report that has
materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the internal controls over financial reporting.

Managements Report on Internal
Control Over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over
financial reporting, pursuant to Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f). Our internal control system was designed to provide reasonable assurance to management and our board of directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the
effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and fair presentation. Further, because of changes in conditions,
the effectiveness of internal control may vary over time.

Managements assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal
control over financial reporting did not include the operations resulting from Inergys acquisitions of Dowdle Gas, Inc., Graeber Brothers, Inc., Propane Gas Service, Inc., Atlas Gas Products, Inc., Country Gas Inc., and five smaller
acquisitions, (collectively the Acquisitions) which were acquired during fiscal 2006 and are included in the 2006 consolidated financial statements. The financial reporting systems of the Acquisitions were integrated into the
companys financial reporting systems throughout 2006. Therefore, the company did not have the practical ability to perform an assessment of their internal controls in time for this current year end. The company fully expects to include the
Acquisitions in next years assessment. The Acquisitions constituted $132.5 million and $144.1 million in total assets and revenues, respectively, in the consolidated financial statements.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we assessed the
effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2006. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in
Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Based upon our assessment, we conclude that, as of September 30, 2006, our internal control over financial reporting is effective, in all material respects, based upon those criteria.

Our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, issued an attestation report dated November 30, 2006 on our
assessment and on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, which is included herein.

Item 9B. Other Information.

are for terms of approximately three or five years. The annual salaries for these individuals are as follows:



|                              |  |   |        
|----------------------------- |  | - | -------
|      John J. Sherman        |  | $ | 300,000

These employees are reimbursed for all expenses in accordance with Inergys policies. They
are also eligible for fringe benefits normally provided to other members of executive management and any other benefits agreed to by the managing general partner of Inergy. Each of these employees is eligible to participate in our Long Term
Incentive Plan and in Inergys Long Term Incentive Plan.

All of these individuals are eligible for annual performance bonuses upon
meeting certain established criteria for each year during the term of his or her employment. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, the amount of the annual performance bonus for these individuals was primarily based upon attaining
certain levels of growth in distributable cash flow per unit.

Unless waived by the managing general partner of Inergy, in order for any of
these individuals to receive any benefits under (i) the Long Term Incentive Plans, or (ii) the performance bonus, the individual must have been continuously employed by the managing general partner of Inergy or one of our affiliates from
the date of his or her employment agreement up to the date for determining eligibility to receive such amounts.

Each employment agreement
contains confidentiality and noncompetition provisions. Also, each employment agreement contains a disclosure and assignment of inventions clause that requires the employee to disclose the existence of any invention and assign such employees
right in such invention to the managing general partner of Inergy.

With respect to the named executive officers, in the event such
persons employment is terminated without cause, Inergy GP, LLC will be required to continue making payments to such person for the remainder of the term of such persons employment agreement.

Pursuant to the partnership agreement, Inergy will reimburse us or our affiliates for all expenses of the employment of these individuals related to
Inergys activities.

Long-Term Incentive Plan

Our general partner sponsors the Inergy Holdings Long-Term Incentive Plan (Holdings LTIP) for the employees, directors and consultants of our general partner and employees, directors and consultants of our
affiliates who perform services for us. The Holdings LTIP consists of four components: restricted units, phantom



68

##### Table of Contents

units, unit appreciation rights and unit options. The company has not granted restricted units, phantom units, or unit appreciation rights under the Holdings
LTIP as of September 30, 2006. The Holdings LTIP limits the number of units that may be delivered pursuant to awards to 2,000,000 units. As of September 30, 2006, we had 674,500 unit options outstanding pursuant to the long-term incentive
plan. Units withheld to satisfy exercise prices or tax withholding obligations are available for delivery pursuant to other awards. The Holdings LTIP is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors of our general partner.

The board of directors of our general partner and the compensation committee of the board may terminate or amend the Holdings LTIP at any
time with respect to any units for which a grant has not yet been made. Our board of directors and the compensation committee of the board also have the right to alter or amend the Holdings LTIP or any part of the plan from time to time, including
increasing the number of units that may be granted subject to unitholder approval as may be required by the exchange upon which the common units are listed at that time, if any. However, no change in any outstanding grant may be made that would
materially reduce the benefits of the participant without the consent of the participant. The Holdings LTIP will expire upon its termination by the board of directors or the compensation committee or earlier, when no units remain available under the
plan for awards. Awards then outstanding will continue pursuant to the terms of their grants.

Restricted Units. A restricted
unit is a common unit that vests over a period of time and that during such time is subject to forfeiture. We have not granted restricted units under the long-term incentive plan. In the future, the compensation committee may determine to make
grants of restricted units under the plan to employees, directors and consultants containing such terms as the compensation committee determines. The compensation committee will determine the period over which restricted units granted to
participants will vest. The compensation committee, in its discretion, may base its determination upon the achievement of specified financial objectives or other events. In addition, the restricted units will vest upon a Change in Control, as
defined in the plan. Distributions made on restricted units may be subjected to the same vesting provisions as the restricted unit. If a grantees employment, consulting arrangement or membership on the board of directors terminates for any
reason, the grantees restricted units will be automatically forfeited unless, and to the extent, the compensation committee or the terms of the award agreement provide otherwise.

Common units to be delivered as restricted units may be common units acquired by us in the open market, common units acquired by us from any other person
or any combination of the foregoing. If we issue new common units upon the grant of the restricted units, the total number of common units outstanding will increase.

We intend the restricted units under the plan to serve as a means of incentive compensation for performance and not primarily as an opportunity to participate in the equity appreciation of our common units. Therefore,
plan participants will not pay any consideration for the common units they receive, and we will receive no remuneration for the units.

Phantom Units.A phantom unit entitles the grantee to receive a common unit upon the vesting of the phantom unit or, in the discretion of the compensation committee, cash equivalent to the value of a common unit. We have not
granted phantom units under the long-term incentive plan. In the future, the compensation committee may determine to make grants of phantom units under the plan to employees, consultants and directors containing such terms as the compensation
committee determines. The compensation committee will determine the period over which phantom units granted to employees and members of our board will vest. The committee, in its discretion, may base its determination upon the achievement of
specified financial objectives or other events. In addition, the phantom units will vest upon a Change in Control. If a grantees employment, consulting arrangement or membership on the board of directors terminates for any reason, the
grantees phantom units will be automatically forfeited unless, and to the extent, the compensation committee or the terms of the award agreement provide otherwise.

Common units to be delivered upon the vesting of phantom units may be common units acquired by us in the open market, common units acquired by us from any other person or any combination of the foregoing. If we issue
new common units upon vesting of the phantom units, the total number of common units outstanding will increase.

##### Table of Contents

We intend the issuance of any common units upon vesting of the phantom units under the plan to serve as a
means of incentive compensation for performance and not primarily as an opportunity to participate in the equity appreciation of our common units. Therefore, plan participants will not pay any consideration for the common units they receive, and we
will receive no remuneration for the units.

Unit Options. The Holdings LTIP permits the grant of options covering common
units. The compensation committee may make grants under the plan to employees, consultants and members of our board containing such terms as the committee determines. Unit options have an exercise equal to the fair market value of the units on the
date of grant. In general, unit options granted will become exercisable over a period determined by the compensation committee. In addition, the unit options will become exercisable upon a Change in Control. If a grantees employment,
consulting arrangement or membership on the board of directors terminates for any reason, the grantees unvested unit options will be automatically forfeited unless, and to the extent, the option agreement or the compensation committee provides
otherwise.

Upon exercise of a unit option, we will issue new common units, acquire common units on the open market or directly from any
person or use any combination of the foregoing, in the compensation committees discretion. If we issue new common units upon exercise of the unit options (or a unit appreciation right settled in common units), the total number of common units
outstanding will increase. The availability of unit options is intended to furnish additional compensation to employees, consultants and members of our board of directors and to align their economic interests with those of common unitholders.

Unit Appreciation Rights. The Holdings LTIP permits the grant of unit appreciation rights. A unit appreciation right is an award
that, upon exercise, entitles the participant to receive the excess of the fair market value of a unit on the exercise date over the exercise price established for the unit appreciation right. Such excess will be paid in common units or, in the
discretion of the compensation committee, in cash. We have not granted unit appreciation rights under the Holdings LTIP. In the future, the compensation committee may determine to make grants of unit appreciation rights under the plan to employees,
consultants and members of our board of directors containing such terms as the committee determines. Unit appreciation rights will have an exercise price that may be greater or less than the fair market value of the common units on the date of
grant, in the discretion of the compensation committee. In general, unit appreciation rights granted will become exercisable over a period determined by the compensation committee. In addition, the unit appreciation rights will become exercisable
upon a Change in Control. If a grantees employment, consulting arrangement or membership on the board of directors terminates for any reason, the grantees unvested unit appreciation rights will be automatically forfeited unless, and to
the extent, the grant agreement or compensation committee provides otherwise.

Upon exercise of a unit appreciation right settled in common
units, we will issue new common units, acquire common units on the open market or directly from any person or use any combination of the foregoing, in the compensation committees discretion. If we issue new common units upon exercise of the
unit appreciation right (settled in common units), the total number of common units outstanding will increase. The availability of unit appreciation rights is intended to furnish additional compensation to employees, consultants and members of our
board of directors and to align their economic interests with those of common unitholders.

Distribution Equivalent Rights. The
compensation committee may, in its discretion, grant distribution equivalent rights (DERs) with respect to awards other than restricted units. DERs entitle the participant to receive cash equal to the amount of any cash distributions
made by us during the period the Award is outstanding. Payment of a DER may be subject to the same vesting terms as the Award to which it relates.

Employee Unit Purchase Plan

Our general partner sponsors a common unit purchase plan for its employees and the employees of
its affiliates. Our common unit purchase plan permits participants to purchase our common units in market transactions from us, our general partner or any other person at the end of each fiscal quarter. We have reserved

##### Table of Contents

100,000 of our common units for purchase under our common unit purchase plan. As determined by the compensation committee, our general partner may match each
participants cash base pay or salary deferrals by an amount up to 10% of such deferrals and have such amount applied toward the purchase of additional common units. Our general partner has also agreed to pay the brokerage commissions, transfer
taxes and other transaction fees associated with a participants purchase of our common units under the plan. The maximum amount that a participant may elect to have withheld from his or her salary or cash base pay with respect to common unit
purchases in any calendar year may not exceed 10% of his or her base salary or wages for the year. The common units purchased on behalf of a participant under our common unit purchase plan generally are to be held by the participant for at least one
year. To the extent a participant desires to sell or dispose of such common units prior to the end of this one-year holding period, the participant will be ineligible to participate in our common unit purchase plan again until the one-year
anniversary of the date of such sale. Our common unit purchase plan is intended to serve as a means for encouraging participants to invest in our common units. Common units purchased through the unit purchase plan for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2006 was 837 units. There were no common units purchased through the unit purchase plan for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005.

Reimbursement of Expenses of the General Partner

Our general partner does not receive any management fee or other
compensation for its management of us. Our general partner and its affiliates are reimbursed for expenses incurred on our behalf. These expenses include the costs of employee, officer and director compensation and benefits properly allocable to us
and all other expenses necessary or appropriate to the conduct of our business. Our partnership agreement provides that our general partner will determine the expenses that are allocable to us in any reasonable manner determined by our general
partner in its sole discretion.

Compensation of Directors

An officer of our general partner who also serves as director will not receive additional compensation. Messrs. Gfeller and Krause each received options under our long-term incentive plan for 20,000 common units at an
exercise price based on the initial public offering price. Mr. OBrien received options under our long-term incentive plan for 20,000 common units at an exercise price of $34.50 (equal to the closing trading price on the NASDAQ National
Market of our common units on the grant date). In addition, each director receives cash compensation of $25,000 per year for attending our regularly scheduled quarterly board meetings. Each non-employee director also receives $1,000 for each special
meeting of the board of directors attended. Non-employee directors receive $1,000 per compensation, audit, or conflicts committee meeting attended. The chairman of the audit committee receives an annual fee of $5,000 per year and the chairman of the
compensation committee receives an annual fee of $1,000 per year. In addition, at the second anniversary of appointment, each non-employee will receive restricted units under our long-term incentive plan equal to $25,000 in value. Each non-employee
director is reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses in connection with attending meetings of the board of directors or committees. Each director is fully indemnified for actions associated with being a director to the extent permitted under Delaware
law. Messrs. Krause and Gfeller also receive similar compensation for their service on the board of directors of Inergy GP, LLC.

Compensation Committee
Interlocks and Insider Participation

The compensation committee of the board of directors of our general partner oversees the
compensation of our executive officers. Arthur B. Krause and Warren H. Gfeller serve as the members of the compensation committee, and neither of them was an officer or employee of our company or any of its subsidiaries during fiscal 2006. While
certain of our executive officers and directors serve in such roles with the managing general partner of Inergy, none of our executive officers serves as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of any entity that has one or more
of its executive officers serving as a member of the board of directors or compensation committee of our general partner.

Inergy GP, LLC, Inergys managing general partner, manages the operations and activities of Inergy. Inergy Partners, LLC,
Inergys non-managing general partner, owns an approximate 1.0% general partner interest in Inergy.

Distributions and payments are
made by Inergy to its non-managing general partner and its affiliates in connection with the ongoing operations of Inergy. These distributions and payments are determined by and among affiliated entities and are not the result of arms length
negotiations.

Cash distributions from Inergy are generally made approximately 99% to Inergy unitholders, including affiliates of its
managing general partner as holders of Inergy common units, and approximately 1% to its non-managing general partner. In addition, if distributions exceed the target levels in excess of the minimum quarterly distribution, we are entitled to receive
increasing percentages of the distributions, up to a maximum of 48.0% of the distributions above the highest target level.

Assuming Inergy
has sufficient available cash to pay the full minimum quarterly distribution on all of its outstanding units for four quarters, its non-managing general partner and its affiliates would receive a distribution of approximately $0.6 million on the
approximate 1.0% general partner interest and a distribution of approximately $4.5 million on their common units.

Inergys managing
general partner and its affiliates do not receive any management fee or other compensation for the management of Inergy. Its managing general partner and its affiliates are reimbursed, however, for direct and indirect expenses incurred on
Inergys behalf. For the fiscal years ended September 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004 the expense reimbursement to Inergys managing general partner and its affiliates was approximately $8.7, $3.0, and $2.9 million, respectively, with the
reimbursement related primarily to personnel costs.

If Inergys managing general partner withdraws in violation of Inergys
partnership agreement or is removed for cause, a successor general partner has the option to buy the general partner interests and incentive distribution rights of Inergy from the non-managing general partner of Inergy for a cash price equal to fair
market value. If Inergys managing general partner withdraws or is removed under any other circumstances, Inergys non-managing general partner has the option to require the successor general partner to buy its general partner interests
and incentive distribution rights for a cash price equal to fair market value.

If either of these options is not exercised, the general
partner interests and incentive distribution rights of Inergy will automatically convert into common units of Inergy equal to the fair market value of those interests. In addition, Inergy will be required to pay the departing general partner for
expense reimbursements.

Upon Inergys liquidation, the partners, including Inergys non-managing general partner, will be
entitled to receive liquidating distributions according to their particular capital account balances.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Under our limited partnership agreement and subject to specified limitations, we will indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by
Delaware law, from and against all losses, claims, damages or similar events any

##### Table of Contents

director or officer, or while serving as a director or officer, any person who is or was serving as a tax matters member or as a director, officer, tax
matters member, employee, partner, manager, fiduciary or trustee of our partnership or any of our affiliates. Additionally, we will indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law, from and against all losses, claims, damages or similar events any
person who is or was an employee (other than an officer) or agent of our partnership.

Any indemnification under our limited partnership
agreement will only be out of our assets. We are authorized to purchase insurance against liabilities asserted against and expenses incurred by persons for our activities, regardless of whether we would have the power to indemnify the person against
liabilities under our limited partnership agreement.

Related Party Transactions Involving Inergy

In connection with Inergys acquisition of assets from United Propane, Inc. on July 31, 2003, Inergy entered into ten leases of real property
formerly used by United Propane (now known as Bonavita, Inc.) in its business. Five of these leases are with United Propane, three of the leases are with Pascal Enterprises, Inc. and two with Robert A. Pascal. Each of these leases provides for an
initial five-year term, and is renewable for up to two additional terms of five years each. During the initial term of these leases, Inergy is required to make monthly rental payments totaling $59,167, of which $17,167 is payable to United Propane,
$16,800 is payable to Pascal Enterprises, and $25,200 is payable to Mr. Pascal.

On May 1, 2004, Inergy Propane entered into a
lease agreement with United Leasing, Inc. to lease a propane rail terminal known as the Curtis Bay Terminal for the base monthly rent of $15,000. On May 1, 2005 this lease was renewed and the monthly base rent was reduced to $12,500.

Robert A. Pascal is the sole shareholder of Bonavita, Inc., Pascal Enterprises and United Leasing and is on Inergys managing general
partners board of directors.

In connection with the financing of Inergys Phase II expansion rights on its Stagecoach natural
gas storage facility and after our board of directors obtained an opinion as to fairness from an independent financial advisor, on August 9, 2005, we entered into the Special Unit Purchase Agreement with Inergy. We purchased 769,941 Inergy
special units for $25 million in cash from Inergy. These units are not entitled to current cash distributions, but are convertible to Inergy common units at a special conversion ratio upon the Phase II expansion becoming commercially operational.
The purchase price was based on the ten-day average closing price for the Inergy common units ending August 8, 2005.

On
August 9, 2005, we also entered into a separate Registration Rights Agreement with Inergy relating to the Inergy special units that allows for the registered resale of these units. On February 10, 2006, Inergy filed a shelf registration
statement with the SEC for the resale of the common units issuable upon conversion of the Inergy special units.

On occasion, Holdings
reimburses Inergy for expenses paid on our behalf. At September 30, 2006, Holdings did not have an amount due to Inergy.

Material Provisions of
Our General Partners Limited Liability Company Agreement.

Our general partners management and operations are governed by
its limited liability company agreement. The limited liability company agreement establishes a board of directors that will be responsible for the oversight of our business and operations. Our general partners board of directors will be
elected by a voting member majority, as defined in the limited liability company agreement. For so long as John J. Sherman and his trusts and their permitted transferees own at least 33% of the original ownership interests held by our owners prior
to our initial public offering, Mr. John Shermans revocable trust will comprise the voting member majority and will be

##### Table of Contents

the only voting member of our general partner. Accordingly, Mr. John Sherman will have the authority to elect all of the directors of our general
partner, as well as vote on any other actions required to be presented to the owners of our general partner. If Mr. John Shermans ownership fails to exceed 33% of the original ownership interests, the remaining owners of our general
partner will acquire voting rights in proportion to their ownership interest of such original ownership interests. Further, these owners will lose their voting rights in proportion to any sales of original ownership interests in us. Our general
partner and the owners of our general partner, whether or not voting, have a right of first refusal to purchase any interests in our general partner proposed to be sold to a third party. In addition, in the event Mr. John Sherman elects to sell
his interest in our general partner, Mr. John Sherman will have the right to cause all other members of our general partner to sell their interests on the same terms. Likewise, if Mr. John Sherman elects to sell his interest in our general
partner, all other members of our general partner will also have the ability to participate in the sale on the same terms.

Restrictions on the Ability
of Certain Executive Officers and Certain Unitholders who Beneficially Own More than 5% of Our Outstanding Units

Various agreements
among certain executive officers and certain unitholders (including certain executive officers of our general partner and the managing general partner of Inergy) restrict their ability to transfer their interests in us. We hold a right of first
refusal on the transfer of the interests in us by these executive officers and these certain unitholders.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Unitholders of Inergy Holdings, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Inergy Holdings, L.P. and Subsidiaries (the Company) as of
September 30, 2006 and 2005, and the related consolidated statements of operations, partners capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended September 30, 2006. Our audits also included the financial statement
schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Companys management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our
audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits
provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of Inergy Holdings, L.P. and Subsidiaries at September 30, 2006 and 2005, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
September 30, 2006 in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents
fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public
Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Inergy Holdings, L.P. and Subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal
Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organization of the Treadway Commission and our report dated November 30, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Controls

The Board of Directors and Unitholders of
Inergy Holdings, L.P.

We have audited managements assessment, included in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting, that Inergy Holdings, L.P. and Subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of September 30, 2006, based on criteria established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework
issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (the COSO criteria). Inergy Holdings, L.P. and Subsidiaries management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for
its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on managements assessment and an opinion on the effectiveness of the companys internal control over financial
reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an
understanding of internal control over financial reporting, evaluating managements assessment, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary
in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A companys internal control over
financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
A companys internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the
assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of
the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the
companys assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control
over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree
of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

As indicated in the accompanying Managements Report on Internal
Control over Financial Reporting and as permitted by the Securities and Exchange Commission, managements assessment of and conclusion on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting did not include the internal controls of
its 2006 acquisitions which are included in the 2006 consolidated financial statements of Inergy Holdings, L.P. and Subsidiaries and constituted $132.5 million and $144.1 million in total assets and revenues, respectively. Our audit of internal
control over financial reporting of Inergy Holdings, L.P. and Subsidiaries also did not include an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of its 2006 acquisitions.

In our opinion, managements assessment that Inergy Holdings, L.P. and Subsidiaries maintained effective internal control over financial reporting
as of September 30, 2006, is fairly stated, in all material respects, based on the COSO criteria. Also, in our opinion, Inergy Holdings, L.P. and Subsidiaries maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial
reporting as of September 30, 2006, based on the COSO criteria.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the 2006 consolidated financial statements of Inergy Holdings, L.P. and Subsidiaries and our report dated November 30, 2006 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Note 1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

Inergy Holdings, L.P. (formerly Inergy Holdings, LLC) (the Company or Holdings) was formed on November 12,
1996 as a Delaware limited liability company. The Company shall exist as a separate legal entity until the cancellation of the certificate of conversion and the certificate of limited partnership as provided in the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited
Partnership Act (the Delaware Act). The limited partners have no liability in excess of contributions to the Company. The general partner of the Company is Inergy Holdings GP, LLC. The Company has no operations of its own but is engaged in the
investment in propane and other natural gas liquids companies. The voting partners of the Company holding the majority of the common interest conduct the business affairs of the Company. Inergy Partners, LLC, the non-managing general partner of
Inergy, L.P. and holder of the approximate 1.0% general partner interest therein, and Inergy GP, LLC, the managing general partner of Inergy, L.P. (Inergy or the Partnership), are both wholly owned subsidiaries of the
Company.

Inergy was formed on March 7, 2001 as a Delaware limited partnership. Inergy and its subsidiary Inergy Propane, LLC
(Inergy Propane or the Operating Company) were formed to acquire, own and operate the propane business and substantially all the assets and liabilities (other than a portion of the cash and deferred income tax liabilities) of
Inergy Partners, LLC and subsidiaries. In addition, Inergy Sales and Service, Inc. (Services), a subsidiary of Inergy Propane, was formed to acquire and operate the service work and appliance parts and sales business of Inergy Propane.
The Partnership, the Operating Company, and Services are collectively referred to hereinafter as the Partnership Entities. In order to simplify the Partnerships obligations under the laws of several jurisdictions in which the Partnership will
conduct business, the Partnerships activities are conducted primarily through Inergy Propane.

Inergy is managed by Inergy GP, LLC.
Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, Inergy GP, LLC or any of its affiliates is entitled to reimbursement for all direct and indirect expenses incurred or payments it makes on behalf of Inergy and all other necessary or appropriate expenses
allocable to Inergy or otherwise reasonably incurred by Inergy GP, LLC in connection with operating Inergys business. These costs, which totaled approximately $8.7 million, $3.0 million and $2.9 million for the years ended September 30,
2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively, include compensation and benefits paid to officers and employees of Inergy GP, LLC and its affiliates.

As of September 30, 2006, Holdings owns an aggregate 9.4% interest in Inergy, inclusive of ownership of the Non-Managing General Partner and Managing General Partner. This ownership is comprised of an approximate 1.0% general
partnership interest and an 8.4% limited partnership interest. The Company also owns all of the incentive distribution rights provided for in the Inergy partnership agreement, which entitles Holdings to receive increasing percentages, up to 48%, of
any cash distributed by Inergy in excess of $0.33 per unit in any quarter.

Nature of Operations

Inergy is engaged primarily in the sale, distribution, storage, marketing, trading, processing and fractionation of propane, natural gas and other natural
gas liquids. The retail market is seasonal because propane is used primarily for heating in residential and commercial buildings, as well as for agricultural purposes. Inergys operations are primarily concentrated in the Midwest, Northeast,
and South regions of the United States.

LLC (GP), IPCH Acquisition Corp. (IPCHA), Wilson Oil Company of Johnston County, Inc. (Wilson), Rolesville Oil &
Gas Company, Inc. (Rolesville) and its controlled subsidiary, Inergy. IPCHA, Wilson and Rolesville are all subsidiaries created as a result of transactions with Inergy. All significant intercompany transactions, including distribution
income, and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

Conversion Transaction

On April 28, 2005, the Company converted from a Delaware limited liability company (Inergy Holdings, LLC) to a Delaware limited partnership (Inergy Holdings, L.P.). The net income (loss) per limited partner unit
and units outstanding presented in the consolidated statements of operations gives effect to the Companys reorganization as a limited partnership as if it occurred at the beginning of the periods presented.

Reclassifications and Restatements

Certain prior
period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income. On May 19, 2006, the Company restated its consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended
September 30, 2005, 2004 and 2003 to defer recorded non-cash gains on the limited partnership units of Inergy it owns based on the application of Securities and Exchange Commissions (SEC) Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 51
Accounting for Sales of Stock by a Subsidiary (SAB 51). These restated financial statements were filed with the SEC on May 19, 2006 on Form 10-K/A. The changes have no prior, current or future impact on the cash
available for distributions to unitholders.

Note 2. Accounting Policies

Financial Instruments and Price Risk Management

Inergy utilizes certain derivative financial
instruments to (i) manage its exposure to commodity price risk, specifically, the related change in the fair value of inventories, as well as the variability of cash flows related to forecasted transactions; (ii) to ensure adequate
physical supply of commodity will be available; and (iii) manage its exposure to interest rate risk. Inergy records all derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at fair value under the provisions of
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS 133), as amended. Changes in the fair value of these derivative financial instruments are recorded
either through current earnings or as other comprehensive income, depending on the type of transaction.

Inergy is party to certain
commodity derivative financial instruments that are designated as hedges of selected inventory positions, and qualify as fair value hedges, as defined in SFAS 133. Inergys overall objective for entering into fair value hedges is to manage its
exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and changes in the fair market value of its inventories. These derivatives are recorded at fair value on the balance sheets as price risk management assets or liabilities and the related change in fair
value is recorded to earnings in the current period as cost of product sold. Any ineffective portion of the fair value hedges is recognized as cost of product sold in the current period.

Inergy also enters into derivative financial instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges, which hedge the exposure of variability in expected future
cash flows predominantly attributable to forecasted purchases to supply fixed price sale contracts. These derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value as price risk management assets or liabilities. The effective portion of the gain
or loss on these cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income in partners capital and reclassified into earnings in the same period in which the hedge transaction affects earnings. Any ineffective portion of the gain or loss is
recognized as cost of product sold in the current period. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for Inergy was $(16.6) million and $5.4 million at September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)



The cash flow impact of derivative financial instruments is reflected as cash flows from operating
activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Revenue Recognition

Sales of propane and other liquids are recognized at the later of the time product is shipped or delivered to the customer. Gas processing and
fractionation fees are recognized upon delivery of the product. Revenue from the sale of propane appliances and equipment is recognized at the later of the time of sale or installation. Revenue from repairs and maintenance is recognized upon
completion of the service. Revenue from storage contracts is recognized during the period in which storage services are provided.

Expense
Classification

Cost of product sold consists of tangible products sold including all propane and other natural gas liquids sold and all
propane related appliances sold. Operating and administrative expenses consist of all expenses incurred by the Company other than those described above in cost of product sold and depreciation and amortization. Certain of Inergys operating and
administrative expenses and depreciation and amortization are incurred in the distribution of its product sales but are not included in cost of product sold. These amounts were $77.6 million, $56.4 million and $28.2 million during the years ended
September 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

Credit Risk and Concentrations

Inergy is both a retail and wholesale supplier of propane gas. Inergy generally extends unsecured credit to its wholesale customers in the United States
and Canada. Credit is generally extended to retail customers through delivery into Company and customer owned propane gas storage tanks. Provisions for doubtful accounts receivable are based on specific identification and historical collection
results and have generally been within managements expectations. Finance charges on trade receivables are generally recognized upon billing of customers.

Inergy enters into netting agreements with certain wholesale customers to mitigate its credit risk. As a result of adopting EITF 04-13 in the year ended September 30, 2006, appropriate receivables and payables
are reflected at a net balance as of September 30, 2006.

Two suppliers, Sunoco, Inc. (14%) and Exxon Mobil Oil Corp. (11%),
accounted for approximately 25% of propane purchases during the past fiscal year. Inergy believes that contracts with these suppliers will enable it to purchase most of its supply needs at market prices and ensure adequate supply. No other single
supplier accounted for more than 10% of propane purchases in the current year.

No single customer represents 10% or more of consolidated
revenues. In addition, nearly all of Inergys revenues are derived from sources within the United States, and all of its long-lived assets are located in the United States.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 3 months.

Inventories

Inventories for retail operations, which mainly consist of propane gas and other liquids, are stated at the lower of cost or market and
are computed using the average-cost method. Wholesale propane inventories are designated under a fair value hedge program and are consequently marked to market. All Wholesale propane inventories being hedged and carried at market value at
September 30, 2006 and 2005 amount to $67.8 million and $85.8 million, respectively. Inventories for facility and midstream operations are stated at the lower of cost or market determined using the first-in-first-out method.

Shipping and Handling Costs

Shipping and handling
costs are recorded as part of cost of product sold at the time product is shipped or delivered to the customer except as discussed in Expense Classification.

Property, Plant, and Equipment

Property, plant, and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is
computed by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:



|                               |  |      
|------------------------------ |  | -----
|                               |  | Years
|Buildings and improvements     |  | 2540
|Office furniture and equipment |  | 310 
|Vehicles                       |  | 510 
|Tanks and plant equipment      |  | 530 

Inergy reviews its long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with SFAS No. 144,
Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144), whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If such events or changes in
circumstances are present, a loss is recognized if the carrying value of the asset is in excess of the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. An impairment loss is measured as
the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Inergy has determined that no impairment exists as of September 30, 2006. See Note 4 for a discussion of assets held for sale at September 30, 2006.

Identifiable Intangible Assets

Both
the Company and Inergy have recorded certain identifiable intangible assets, including customer accounts, covenants not to compete, trademarks, deferred financing costs and deferred acquisition costs. Customer accounts, covenants not to compete, and
trademarks have arisen from the various acquisitions by Inergy. Deferred financing costs represent financing costs incurred in obtaining financing and are being amortized over the term of the related debt. Deferred acquisition costs represent costs
incurred on acquisitions that Inergy is actively pursuing. Additionally, an acquired intangible asset should be separately recognized if the benefit of the intangible asset is obtained through contractual or other legal rights, or if the intangible
asset can be sold, transferred, licensed, rented or exchanged, regardless of the acquirers intent to do so.

Certain intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives,
as follows:



|                         |  |      
|------------------------ |  | -----
|                         |  | Years
|Customer accounts        |  | 15   
|Covenants not to compete |  | 210 
|Deferred financing costs |  | 110 

Trademarks have been assigned an indefinite economic life and are not being amortized, but are
subject to an annual impairment evaluation.

Estimated amortization, including amortization of deferred financing costs reported as
interest expense, for the next five years ending September 30, is as follows (in thousands):



|                          |  |   |       
|------------------------- |  | - | ------
|Year Ending September 30, |  |  
|2007                      |  | $ | 24,944
|2008                      |  |   | 23,020
|2009                      |  |   | 22,496
|2010                      |  |   | 20.812
|2011                      |  |   | 20,090

Goodwill

Goodwill is recognized pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, (SFAS 142) for various acquisitions by Inergy as the excess of
the cost of the acquisitions over the face value of the related net assets at the date of acquisition. Under SFAS 142, goodwill is subject to at least an annual assessment for impairment by applying a fair-value-based test.

In connection with the goodwill impairment evaluation, the reporting units are identified, which for Inergy includes four reporting units. The carrying
value of each reporting unit is determined by assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets, to those reporting units as of the date of the evaluation. To the extent a reporting units carrying
value exceeds its fair value, an indication exists that the reporting units goodwill may be impaired and the second step of the impairment test must be performed. In the second step, the implied fair value of the goodwill is determined by
allocating the fair value to all of its assets (recognized and unrecognized) and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in accordance with SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations to its carrying amount.

Inergy has completed the impairment test for each of its reporting units and determined that no impairment existed as of
September 30, 2006.

Income Taxes

The earnings of the Company, its limited liability subsidiaries and Inergy are included in the Federal and state income tax returns of the individual members or partners. As a result, no income tax expense has been reflected in the
consolidated financial statements relating to the earnings of Inergy and the limited liability subsidiaries. Federal and state income taxes are provided on the earnings of the subsidiaries incorporated as taxable entities (IPCHA, Wilson, Rolesville
and Services). These corporations account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes (SFAS 109). SFAS 109 requires recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been included in



93

Inergy Holdings, L.P. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)



the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial
reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities using expected rates in effect for the year in which differences are expected to reverse.

Net earnings for financial statement purposes may differ significantly from taxable income reportable to unitholders as a result of differences between the tax basis and the financial reporting basis of assets and liabilities and the
taxable income allocation requirements under the partnership agreement.

Customer Deposits

Customer deposits primarily represent cash received by Inergy from wholesale and retail customers for propane purchased under contract that will be
delivered at a future date.

Fair Value

The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair value. Based on the estimated borrowing rates currently available to the Company for long-term debt with similar terms and maturities, the
aggregate fair value of the Companys long-term debt was approximately $680 million and $588 million as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. See Note 5 for the fair value of Inergys derivative financial instruments.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income includes net income and other comprehensive income, which includes, but is not limited to, foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains and losses on derivative financial instruments and marketable
securities. Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of the following components (in thousands):

Income Per Unit

Basic net income per limited partner unit is computed by dividing net income applicable to partners common interest by the weighted average number of units outstanding. Diluted net income per limited partner
unit is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of units outstanding and the dilutive effect of unit options granted under the long-term incentive plan. The following table presents the calculation of basic and dilutive net
income per limited partner unit (in thousands, except per unit data):

Accounting for Unit-Based Compensation

The Company and Inergy each have a unit-based employee compensation plan, which are accounted for under the provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R), which is a revision of SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB
Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25), and amends SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows.SFAS 123(R) requiresall share-based payments to employees, including
grants of employee stock options, to be recognized in the income statement based on their fair values.

The Company adopted SFAS 123(R) on
October 1, 2005 using the modified prospective method. Under the modified prospective method, compensation cost is recognized beginning with the effective date (a) for all share-based payments granted after the effective date and
(b) for all awards granted to employees prior to effective date of SFAS 123(R) that remain unvested as of the effective date. Under this method, SFAS 123(R) applies to new awards and to awards modified, repurchased, or cancelled after the
adoption date of October 1, 2005. The compensation cost for the portion of awards for which the requisite service has not been rendered that are outstanding as of October 1, 2005 will be recognized as the requisite service is rendered. The
compensation cost for that portion of awards is based on the fair value of those awards as of the grant-date and was calculated for pro forma disclosures under SFAS 123. The compensation cost for those earlier awards is attributed to periods
beginning on or after October 1, 2005 using the attribution method that was used under SFAS 123.

The amount of compensation expense
recorded by Inergy under the provisions of SFAS 123(R) during the year ended September 30, 2006 was approximately $0.6 million, including approximately $0.3 million related to unit-based compensation for Holdings.

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and net income per limited partner unit as
if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provision of SFAS No. 123(R) to unit-based employee compensation for the years ended September 30, 2005 and 2004. For purposes of pro forma disclosures, the estimated fair value of an
option is amortized to expense over the options vesting period (in thousands, except per unit data):

Segment Information

SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (SFAS 131) establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments, as well as related
disclosures about products and services, geographic areas, and major customers. Further, SFAS 131 defines operating segments as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the
chief operating decision-maker in deciding how to allocate resources and assessing performance. In determining reportable segments under the provisions of SFAS 131, Inergy examined the way it organizes its business internally for making operating
decisions and assessing business performance. See Note 14 for disclosures related to the Companys propane and midstream segments.

Recently Issued
Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS 157) was issued in September 2006 to
define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value according to generally accepted accounting principles, and expand disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is required to be adopted by Inergy for the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2008. The Company will be evaluating the potential financial statement impact of SFAS 157 to its consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 155, Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments (SFAS 155) amends SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, and SFAS
No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishment of Liabilities. SFAS 155 permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise
would require bifurcation. It also establishes a requirement to evaluate securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring
bifurcation. SFAS 155 is effective for all financial instruments acquired or issued after the beginning of an entitys first fiscal year that begins after September 15, 2006. The Company will be evaluating the potential financial statement
impact of SFAS 155 to its consolidated financial statements.

SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections
(SFAS 154) is a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20, Accounting Changes, and SFAS No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial

Statements. SFAS 154 applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle and changes the accounting for and a reporting of a change in accounting
principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective application to the prior periods financial statements of a voluntary change in accounting principle unless it is impracticable. SFAS 154 is effective for the accounting changes and corrections of
errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 154 is not expected to have an impact on the Companys consolidated financial statements.

In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset
Retirement Obligationsan interpretation of SFAS No. 143 (FIN 47). FIN 47 clarifies that the term conditional retirement obligation, as used in SFAS No. 143, Asset Retirement Obligations, refers to a
legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing or method of settlement, or both, are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity. An entity is required to recognize a liability
for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the liability can be reasonably estimated. FIN 47 was required to be adopted by Inergy for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006. The Company has evaluated
the impact of FIN 47 and determined that it does not have a material effect on the consolidated financial statements in the current year as well as all prior years considered.

EITF 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty addresses the accounting for an entitys sale of
inventory to another entity from which it also purchases inventory to be sold in the same line of business. EITF 04-13 concludes that two or more inventory transactions with the same counterparty should be accounted for as a single non-monetary
transaction at fair value or recorded amounts based on inventory classifications. EITF 04-13 is effective for new arrangements entered into, and modifications or renewal of existing arrangements, beginning in the first interim or annual reporting
period beginning after March 15, 2006. The Company has adopted the provisions of EITF 04-13, which did not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 3. Acquisitions

During the fiscal year ended
September 30, 2006, Inergy made ten acquisitions, including Dowdle Gas, Inc. headquartered in Columbus, MS, Graeber Brothers, Inc. headquartered in Batesville, MS, Propane Gas Service, Inc. headquartered in South Windsor, CT, Atlas Gas
Products, Inc. headquartered in Costonia, OH, Country Gas Inc. headquartered in Sumiton, AL, and five smaller retail propane companies, (collectively the Acquisitions). The aggregate purchase price for the Acquisitions, net of cash
acquired was $186.3 million. The operating results for all the Acquisitions are included in our consolidated results of operations from the dates of acquisition through September 30, 2006. The purchase price allocation for Dowdle Gas, Inc. was
finalized during the quarter ended September 30, 2006, and all applicable changes are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The purchase price allocations for all other acquisitions have been prepared on a preliminary
basis pending final asset valuation and asset rationalization, and changes are expected when additional information becomes available.

Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission requires that for any significant subsidiary, which is defined as any significant business combination or disposition of assets, pro-forma information must be disclosed. None of the
fiscal 2006 acquisitions were, individually or in the aggregate, considered a significant subsidiary. Therefore, no pro-forma results from operations are provided.

As a result of the fiscal 2006 acquisitions, Inergy acquired $35.2 million of goodwill and $54.1 million of intangible assets, consisting primarily of customer accounts and non-compete agreements. The weighted average
amortization period of amortizable intangible assets acquired during the year ended September 30, 2006 is approximately 12 years.

During the fourth quarter of 2006, Inergy finalized its purchase price allocation of the fair value
of Stagecoachs assets based on a third party valuation. Based on this valuation, Inergy recorded a purchase price adjustment which decreased the value of its fixed assets (including land and buildings) and accumulated depreciation by $84.4
million and $4.3 million, respectively, increased customer accounts and goodwill by $35.1 million and $50.6 million, respectively, and decreased non-competes by $1.3 million.

Depreciation expense totaled $54.6 million, $37.3 million, and $15.3 million for the years ended
September 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

During 2006, Inergy capitalized $0.4 million of interest related to certain
Midstream asset expansion projects. This amount is reflected in construction in process. There was no interest capitalized in the prior year.

As discussed in Note 3, the Company recorded a purchase price adjustment in the fourth quarter of 2006 related to the Stagecoach acquisition which decreased the value of fixed assets and accumulated depreciation by $84.4 million and $4.3
million, respectively.

The property, plant and equipment balances above at September 30, 2006 include approximately $6.8 million of
propane operations assets deemed held for sale under the provisions of SFAS 144. These assets were identified during the fourth quarter of 2006 as a result of the final integration of the larger retail propane acquisitions closed since November 2004
as Inergy has focused on eliminating redundant operations, mostly including tanks and equipment, vehicles and certain real estate. As a result, the carrying value of these assets was reduced to their estimated recoverable value less anticipated
disposition costs, resulting in a loss of

approximately $6.6 million for the year ended September 30, 2006. This $6.6 million charge is included as a component of operating income as a loss on
disposal of assets. When aggregated with other realized losses, such amounts totaled $11.4 million.

Note 5. Price Risk Management and Financial
Instruments

Commodity Derivative Instruments and Price Risk Management

Inergy, through its wholesale operations, sells propane to energy related businesses and may use a variety of financial and other instruments including
forward contracts involving physical delivery of propane. In addition, Inergy manages its own commodity risks using forward physical and futures contracts. Inergy attempts to balance its contractual portfolio in terms of notional amounts and timing
of performance and delivery obligations. However, net unbalanced positions can exist or are established based on assessment of anticipated short-term needs or market conditions.

As discussed in Note 2, all of these financial instruments are accounted for under SFAS 133. Inergy has entered into these derivative financial
instruments to manage its exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices and to the variability of future cash flows. The effects of commodity price volatility have generally been mitigated by Inergys attempts to maintain a balanced portfolio of
derivative financial instruments and inventory positions in terms of notional amounts.

Notional Amounts and Terms

The notional amounts and terms of these financial instruments include the following at September 30, 2006 and 2005 (in millions):



|                                  |  |                  |  |                     |  |                  |  |

Notional amounts reflect the volume of transactions, but do not represent the amounts exchanged by
the parties to the financial instruments. Accordingly, notional amounts do not accurately measure our exposure to market or credit risks.

Fair Value

The fair value of the derivatives and inventory exchange contracts related to price risk management activities as of September 30,
2006 and September 30, 2005 was assets of $46.2 million and $58.4 million, respectively, and liabilities of $49.0 million and $49.6 million, respectively. All intercompany transactions have been appropriately eliminated.

Inergy uses observable market values for determining the fair value of its trading instruments. In cases where actively quoted prices are not available,
other external sources are used which incorporate information about commodity prices in actively quoted markets, quoted prices in less active markets and other market fundamental analysis. Inergys risk management department regularly compares
valuations to independent sources and models.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)



The net change in unrealized gains and losses related to all price risk management activities,
including Wholesale inventory accounted for under a fair value hedge, and propane based financial instruments, for the years ended September 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004 of $(39.5) million, $24.1 million, and $(1.2) million, respectively, are
included in cost of product sold in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Included in the above $(39.5) million is $(19.4) million due to the reversal of the non-cash gain recorded in the year ended September 30, 2005, and
changes in fair value of other price risk management activities, including $(16.6) million which is deferred in Inergys Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income at September 30, 2006. Included in the above $24.1 million from the previous
year is a non-cash gain of $19.4 million related to derivative contracts. No similar gain or loss was recognized in the year ended September 30, 2004. The market prices used to value these transactions reflect managements best estimate
considering various factors including closing exchange and over-the-counter quotations, recent transactions, time value and volatility factors underlying the commitments.

The following table summarizes the change in the unrealized fair value of energy contracts related to risk management activities for the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 where settlement has not yet

Of the outstanding unrealized gain (loss) as of September 30, 2006 and 2005, $(2.7) million
and $8.8 million have or will mature within 12 months, respectively. Contracts with a maturity of greater than one year were not significant.

During the years ended September 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004, Inergy recognized a net gain of less than $0.1 million, a net loss of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively, related to the ineffective portion of its fair value
commodity hedging instruments and a net loss of $0.4 million, $0.6 million, and $1.0 million, respectively, related to the portion of the fair value commodity hedging instruments excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness.

Changes in the fair value of derivative instruments that are not designated as hedges are recorded in current period earnings in accordance with SFAS
133.

The total amount of deferred cash flow hedge losses recorded in Inergys other comprehensive income as of September 30,
2006 in the amount of $16.6 million is expected to be reclassified to future earnings predominantly within the next twelve months, contemporaneously with the timing that related physical purchase of the underlying commodity affect earnings. During
the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, there was no material ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges. As of September 30, 2005, there was $5.4 million in Inergys other comprehensive income which was reclassified to earnings
during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, none of which was related to forecasted transactions that were no longer considered probable of occurring. Since a portion of these amounts is based on market prices at the current period end,
actual amounts to be reclassified will differ and could vary materially as a result of changes in market conditions.

Market and Credit Risk

Inherent in Inergys contractual portfolio are certain business risks, including market risk and credit risk. Market risk is the risk that the value of the portfolio will change, either favorably or unfavorably,
in response to changing market conditions. Credit risk is the risk of loss from nonperformance by suppliers, customers or financial counterparties to a contract. Inergy takes an active role in managing and controlling market and credit risk and has
established control procedures, which are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Inergy monitors market risk through a variety of techniques, including daily reporting of the portfolios position to senior management. Inergy attempts to minimize credit
risk exposure through credit policies and periodic monitoring procedures as well as through customer deposits, letters of credit and entering into netting agreements that allow for offsetting counterparty receivable and payable balances for certain
financial transactions, as deemed appropriate. The counterparties associated with assets from price risk management activities as of September 30, 2006 and 2005 were propane retailers, resellers, energy marketers and dealers.

On August 9, 2005, the Company entered into a $25 million term loan with a bank (Term
Loan). The maturity date of the Term Loan is August 9, 2008 and is collateralized by certain of our interests in Inergy. In addition, the Term Loan is guaranteed by IPCHA and NIP. The proceeds from this loan were used to acquire 769,941
special units in Inergy in connection with the acquisition of the rights to the Phase II expansion project of the Stagecoach acquisition. The Term Loan contains several covenants which, among other things, require the maintenance of various
financial performance ratios, restrict the payment of distributions to unitholders, and require financial reports to be submitted periodically to the financial institutions.

On July 22, 2005, the Company executed a credit agreement (Bank Facility) with a bank. The Bank Facility consists of a $15 million
working capital revolver for Holdings and a $5 million working capital revolver for IPCHA. The maturity date of the Bank Facility is July 22, 2008 and is collateralized by certain of our interests in Inergy. In addition, the Bank Facility is
guaranteed by NIP. The prime rate and LIBOR plus the applicable spreads were 7.08% at September 30, 2006 for all outstanding debt under the Bank Facility. The Bank Facility contains several covenants which, among other things, require the
maintenance of various financial performance ratios, restrict the payment of distributions to unitholders, and require financial reports to be submitted periodically to the financial institutions.

Inergys Credit Agreement

On December 17, 2004, Inergy entered into a 5-Year Credit Agreement (the Credit Agreement) with its existing lenders in addition to others. The Credit Agreement consists of a $75 million revolving
working capital facility (the Working Capital Facility) and a $350 million revolving acquisition facility (the Acquisition Facility). The Credit Agreement carries terms, conditions and covenants substantially similar to the
previous credit agreement. The Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of Inergys assets and those of its domestic subsidiaries and the pledge of all of the equity interests or membership interests in its
domestic subsidiaries. In addition, the Credit Agreement is guaranteed by each of Inergys domestic subsidiaries. Inergy has the option to use up to $125.0 million of available borrowing capacity from its Acquisition Facility for working
capital purposes.

Inergy is required to reduce the principal outstanding on the Working Capital Facility to $10 million or less for a
minimum of 30 consecutive days during the period commencing March 1 and ending September 30 (amount was $5 million as of September 30, 2005). As such, $10 million and $5 million of the outstanding balance at September 30, 2006
and 2005, respectively, have been classified as a long-term liability in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At September 30, 2006, the balance outstanding under the Credit Agreement was $22.7 million under the Working Capital
Facility. At September 30, 2005, borrowings under the Credit Agreement were $126.8 million, including $20.0 million under the Working Capital Facility. The prime rate and LIBOR plus the applicable spreads were between 7.08% and 8.50% at
September 30, 2006, and between 6.19% and 7.75% at September 30, 2005, for all outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement.

The
Credit Agreement contains several covenants which, among other things, require the maintenance of various financial performance ratios, restrict the payment of distributions to unitholders, and require financial reports to be submitted periodically
to the financial institutions. Unused borrowings under the Credit Agreement amounted to $369.4 million and $276.2 million at September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Outstanding standby letters of credit under the Credit Agreement amounted to
$32.9 million and $22.0 million at September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

On October 1, 2006, Inergy amended the Credit
Agreement with existing lenders primarily to increase to $125.0 million from $75.0 million the effective amount of working capital borrowings available through the utilization of the Acquisition Facility. Other terms, conditions, and covenants
remained materially unchanged.

At September 30, 2006, the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants.

Senior Unsecured Notes

2016 Senior Notes

On January 11, 2006, Inergy and its wholly owned subsidiary, Inergy Finance Corp (Finance Corp. and together with Inergy, the
Issuers), issued $200 million aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior unsecured notes due 2016 (the 2016 Senior Notes) in a private placement to eligible purchasers. The 2016 Senior Notes contain covenants similar to the
2014 Senior Notes. Inergy used the net proceeds of the offering to repay outstanding indebtedness under its revolving acquisition credit facility. The 2016 Senior Notes represent senior unsecured obligations of Inergy and rank pari passuin
right of payment with all other present and future senior indebtedness of Inergy. The 2016 Senior Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by all of Inergys current domestic subsidiaries and have certain call features which allow Inergy to
redeem the notes at specified prices based on the date redeemed as described below.

On May 18, 2006, Inergy completed an offer to
exchange its existing 8.25% 2016 Senior Notes for $200 million of 8.25% senior notes due 2016 (the 2016 Exchange Notes) that are registered and do not carry transfer

restrictions, registration rights and provisions for additional interest. The 2016 Exchange Notes did not provide Inergy with any additional proceeds and
satisfied our obligations under the registration rights agreement.

Before March 1, 2009, Inergy may, at any time or from time to
time, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2016 Senior Notes with the net proceeds of a public or private equity offering at 108.25% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if at least
65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes remains outstanding after such redemption and the redemption occurs within 150 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.

The 2016 Senior Notes are redeemable, at Inergys option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 1, 2011, in each case at the
redemption prices described in the table below, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the redemption.

2014 Senior Notes

On December 22, 2004, the Issuers completed a private placement of $425 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.875% senior unsecured notes due 2014 (the 2014 Senior Notes). The 2014 Senior Notes
contain covenants similar to the Credit Agreement. The net proceeds were used to repay outstanding indebtedness.

The 2014 Senior Notes
represent senior unsecured obligations and rank pari passu in right of payment with all of Inergys other present and future senior indebtedness. The 2014 Senior Notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by all current domestic
subsidiaries and have certain call features, which allow Inergy to redeem the 2014 Senior Notes at specified prices based on the date redeemed as described below.

On October 26, 2005, Inergy completed an offer to exchange the 2014 Senior Notes for $425 million of 6.875% senior notes due 2014 (the 2014 Exchange Notes) that are registered and do not carry
transfer restrictions, registration rights and provisions for additional interest. The 2014 Exchange Notes did not provide Inergy with any additional proceeds and satisfied its obligations under the registration rights agreement.

Before December 15, 2007, Inergy may, at any time or from time to time, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2014 Senior Notes
with the net proceeds of a public or private equity offering at 106.875% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, if at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes remains outstanding after such
redemption and the redemption occurs within 120 days of the date of the closing of such equity offering.

The 2014 Senior Notes are
redeemable, at Inergys option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after December 15, 2009, in each case at the redemption prices described in the table below, together with any accrued and unpaid interest to the date of the

Inergy is party to five interest rate swap agreements scheduled to mature in December 2014, each
designed to hedge $25 million in underlying fixed rate senior unsecured notes, in order to manage interest rate risk exposure. These swap agreements, which expire on the same date as the maturity date of the related 2014 Senior Notes and contain
call provisions consistent with the underlying 2014 Senior Notes, require the counterparty to pay the Company an amount based on the stated fixed interest rate due every six months. In exchange, Inergy is required to make semi-annual floating
interest rate payments on the same dates to the counterparty based on an annual interest rate equal to the 6-month LIBOR interest rate plus spreads between 0.92% and 2.20% applied to the same notional amount of $125 million. The swap agreements have
been recognized as fair value hedges. Amounts to be received or paid under the agreements are accrued and recognized over the life of the agreements as an adjustment to interest expense. Inergy recognized an approximate $3.6 million decrease in the
fair market value of the related 2014 Senior Notes at September 30, 2006 with a corresponding change in the fair value of its interest rate swaps, which are recorded in other long term liabilities.

Notes Payable and Other Obligations

Non-interest
bearing obligations due under noncompetition agreements and other note payable agreements consist of agreements between Inergy and certain sellers of retail propane companies acquired from fiscal years 1999 through 2006 with payments due through
2014 and imputed interest ranging from 3.5% to 10.0%. Noninterest-bearing obligations consist of $19.1 million and $11.5 million in total payments due under agreements, less unamortized discount based on imputed interest of $3.5 million and $1.9
million at September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Additionally, Inergy has a long-term obligation related to a long-term asset management agreement for certain transportation services provided to one of Inergys subsidiaries. The
unpaid balance of this obligation was $10.3 million at September 30, 2006.

The aggregate amounts of principal to be paid on the
outstanding long-term debt and other long-term obligations during the next five years ending September 30 and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):

The net operating loss carryforwards of $2.5 million fully expire by September 30, 2020.

Note 9. Partners Capital

The
partners of the Company receive a portion of the distributions earned. Distributions paid by the Company to its partners amounted to $24.9 million, $63.4 million and $21.5 million for the years ended September 30, 2006, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, or $1.25, $3.70, and $1.71 per unit, respectively, for the periods to which these distributions relate. On September 3, 2004, the Company declared a distribution of $15.0 million to be distributed in the form of promissory notes
to its partners in November 2004. These notes were paid off in July 2005. This distribution is reflected in the balance sheet as a promissory note distribution payable as of September 30, 2004.

In June 2005, the Company issued 3,910,000 common units of Inergy Holdings, L.P. in its initial public offering for net proceeds of approximately $80.0
million.

The Companys capital is comprised primarily of its equity in Inergy and the Companys ability to make distributions is
contingent upon the distributions it receives from Inergy. While Inergy distributes all available cash, its capital is not all available for distribution.

Note 10. Long-Term Incentive Plan

Inergy Holdings, L.P. Long-Term Incentive Plan

The Companys general partner sponsors the Inergy Holdings Long-Term Incentive Plan (Holdings LTIP) for the employees, directors and
consultants of our general partner and employees, directors and consultants of our affiliates who perform services for the Company. The Holdings LTIP consists of four components: restricted units, phantom units, unit appreciation rights and unit
options. The Company has not granted restricted units, phantom units, or unit appreciation rights under the Holdings LTIP as of September 30, 2006. The Holdings LTIP limits the aggregate number of units that may be delivered pursuant to awards
to 2,000,000 units. As of September 30, 2006, the Company had 674,500 unit options outstanding pursuant to the Holdings LTIP. The Holdings LTIP is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors of our general partner.

Restricted Units

A restricted unit is a common unit that vests over a period of time and that during such time is subject to forfeiture. The Company has not granted restricted units under the Holdings LTIP. In the future, the
compensation committee may determine to make grants of restricted units under the plan to employees, directors and consultants containing such terms as the compensation committee determines. The compensation committee will determine the period over
which restricted units granted to participants will vest. The compensation committee, in its discretion, may base its determination upon the achievement of specified financial objectives or other events. In addition, the restricted units will vest
upon a Change in Control, as defined in the plan. Distributions made on restricted units may be subjected to the same vesting provisions as the restricted unit. If a grantees employment, consulting or membership on the board of directors
terminates for any reason, the grantees restricted units will be automatically forfeited unless, and to the extent, the compensation committee or the terms of the award agreement provide otherwise.

Phantom Units

A phantom unit entitles the grantee to
receive a common unit upon the vesting of the phantom unit or, in the discretion of the compensation committee, cash equivalent to the value of a common unit. The Company has not granted phantom units under the Holdings LTIP. The compensation
committee will determine the period over which phantom units granted to employees and members of our board will vest. The committee, in its discretion, may base its determination upon the achievement of specified financial objectives or other
events. In addition, the phantom units will vest upon a Change in Control. If a grantees employment, consulting or membership on the board of directors terminates for any reason, the grantees phantom units will be automatically forfeited
unless, and to the extent, the compensation committee or the terms of the award agreement provide otherwise.

Unit Appreciation Rights

The Holdings LTIP permits the grant of unit appreciation rights. A unit appreciation right is an award that, upon exercise, entitles the participant to
receive the excess of the fair market value of a unit on the exercise date over the exercise price established for the unit appreciation right. Such excess will be paid in common units or, at the discretion of the compensation committee, in cash.
The Company has not granted unit appreciation rights under the Holdings LTIP. In the future, the compensation committee may determine to make grants of unit appreciation rights under the plan to employees and members of our board of directors
containing such terms as the committee determines. Unit appreciation rights will have an exercise price that may be greater or less than the fair market value of the common units on the date of grant, at the discretion of the compensation committee.
In general, unit appreciation rights granted will become exercisable over a period determined by the compensation committee. In addition, the unit appreciation rights will become exercisable upon a Change in Control. If a grantees employment,
consulting or membership on the board of directors terminates for any reason, the grantees unvested unit appreciation rights will be automatically forfeited unless, and to the extent, the grant agreement or compensation committee provides
otherwise.

Unit Options

Unit options
issued under the Holdings LTIP have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the units on the date of the grant. In general, unit options granted under the Holdings LTIP will become exercisable over a period determined by the compensation
committee. In addition, the unit options will become exercisable upon a Change in Control. If a grantees employment, consulting or membership on the board of directors terminates for any reason, the grantees unvested unit options will be
automatically forfeited unless, and to the extent, the option agreement or the compensation committee provide otherwise.

The weighted-average remaining contract lives for options outstanding and exercisable at
September 30, 2006 were approximately nine years and less than one year, respectively. The fair value of each option grant was estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the assumptions outlined in the
table below. Expected volatility was based on a combination of historical and implied volatilities of the Companys stock over a period at least as long as the options expected term. The expected life represents the period of time that
the options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the applicable U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant of the share options.

value represents the positive difference between the Companys closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal period, which was $34.40 on
September 29, 2006, and the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding.

Inergy Holdings, L.P. Unit Purchase Plan

The Companys general partner sponsors a common unit purchase plan for its employees and the employees of its affiliates. The
common unit purchase plan permits participants to purchase common units in market transactions from the Company, the general partner or any other person at the end of each fiscal quarter. The Company has reserved 100,000 of its common units for
purchase under the common unit purchase plan. As determined by the compensation committee, the general partner may match each participants cash base pay or salary deferrals by an amount up to 10% of such deferrals and have such amount applied
toward the purchase of additional common units. The general partner has also agreed to pay the brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and other transaction fees associated with a participants purchase of the Companys common units under
the plan. The maximum amount that a participant may elect to have withheld from his or her salary or cash base pay with respect to common unit purchases in any calendar year may not exceed 10% of his or her base salary or wages for the year. The
common units purchased on behalf of a participant under the common unit purchase plan generally are to be held by the participant for at least one year. To the extent a participant desires to sell or dispose of such common units prior to the end of
this one-year holding period, the participant will be ineligible to participate in the common unit purchase plan again until the one-year anniversary of the date of such sale. The Companys common unit purchase plan is intended to serve as a
means for encouraging participants to invest in its common units. Common units purchased through the unit purchase plan for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006 were 837 units. There were no common units purchased through the unit purchase
plan for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2005.

Inergy, L.P. Long-Term Incentive Plan

Inergys managing general partner sponsors the Long-Term Incentive Plan (Inergy LTIP) for its employees, consultants, and directors and
the employees of its affiliates that perform services for Inergy. The Inergy LTIP currently permits the grant of awards covering an aggregate of 1,735,100 Inergy common units, which can be granted in the form of unit options and/or restricted units;
however, not more than 565,600 restricted units may be granted under the plan. With the exception of 56,000 unit options (exercise prices from $1.92 to $5.34) granted to non-executive employees in exchange for option grants made by the predecessor
in fiscal 1999, all of which have been grandfathered into the Inergy LTIP and are presented as grants in the table below, all units granted under the plan will vest in accordance with the Unit Option Agreements, which typically provide that unit
options begin vesting five years from the anniversary date of the applicable grant date. Shares issued as a result of unit option exercises are newly issued shares.

Restricted Units

A restricted unit is a common unit that vests over a period of time and that during
such time is subject to forfeiture. The compensation committee may make grants of restricted units to employees, directors and consultants containing such terms as the compensation committee determines. The compensation committee will determine the
period over which restricted units granted to participants will vest. The compensation committee, in its discretion, may base its determination upon the achievement of specified financial objectives or other events. In addition, the restricted units
will vest upon a change in control of the managing general partner of Inergy. If a grantees employment, consulting arrangement or membership on the board of directors terminates for any reason, the grantees restricted units will be
automatically forfeited unless, and to the extent, the compensation committee or the terms of the award agreement provide otherwise.

Inergy intends the restricted units to serve as a means of incentive compensation for performance and
not primarily as an opportunity to participate in the equity appreciation of the common units. Therefore, plan participants will not pay any consideration for the common units they receive, and Inergy will receive no cash remuneration for the units.

On March 20, 2006, the compensation committee granted 20,000 restricted units. These restricted units vest over a three year period
beginning three years from the grant date, subject to the achievement of certain specified performance objectives. Failure to meet the performance objectives will result in forfeiture and cancellation of the restricted units. Inergy recognizes
expense on these shares each quarter using an estimate of the shares expected to vest multiplied by the closing price of the Inergys common stock of $27.09 on the date of grant.

On April 3, 2006, the compensation committee granted 3,756 restricted units. These restricted units vest over a three year period beginning one year
from the grant date. Inergy recognizes expense on these shares each quarter using an estimate of the shares expected to vest multiplied by the closing price of Inergys common stock of $26.62 on the date of grant.

On August 1, 2006, the compensation committee granted 35,000 restricted units. These restricted units cliff vest five years from grant date. Inergy
recognizes expense on these shares each quarter using an estimate of the shares expected to vest multiplied by the closing price of Inergys common stock of $27.01 on the date of grant.

Of the total 58,756 restricted shares outstanding, the weighted average remaining contract life is 9.7 years.

The compensation expense recorded by Inergy related to these restricted stock awards was less than $0.1 million for the year ended September 30,
2006.

Unit Options

Unit options
issued under the Inergy LTIP have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the units on the date of the grant. In general, unit options will expire after 10 years and are subject to vesting periods as outlined in the unit option
agreement. In addition, most unit option grants made under the plan provide that the unit options will become exercisable upon a change of control of the managing general partner or Inergy.

A summary of Inergys unit option activity for the years ended September 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004, is as follows:

The weighted-average remaining contract lives for options outstanding and exercisable at
September 30, 2006 were approximately six years and five years, respectively. The fair value of each option grant was estimated as of the grant date using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using the assumptions outlined in the table below.
Expected volatility was based on a combination of historical and implied volatilities of Inergys stock over a period at least as long as the options expected term. The expected life represents the period of time that the options granted
are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the applicable U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant of the share options.

The aggregate intrinsic values of options outstanding and exercisable at September 30, 2006
were $7.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively. The aggregate intrinsic value of unit options exercised during the year ended September 30, 2006 was $5.6 million. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the positive difference between
Inergys closing stock price on the last trading day of the fiscal period, which was $27.24 on September 30, 2006, and the exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding.

As of September 30, 2006, there was $3.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation awards granted
to employees under the restricted stock and unit option plans, including approximately $1.9 million related to Holdings unvested share-based compensation awards. That cost is expected to be recognized over a period of 5 years.

Inergy, L.P. Unit Purchase Plan

Inergys
managing general partner sponsors a unit purchase plan for its employees and the employees of its affiliates. The unit purchase plan permits participants to purchase common units in market transactions from Inergy, the general partners or any other
person. All purchases made have been in market transactions, although

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)



the plan allows Inergy to issue additional units. Inergy has reserved 100,000 units for purchase under the unit purchase plan. As determined by the
compensation committee, the managing general partner may match each participants cash base pay or salary deferrals by an amount up to 10% of such deferrals and have such amount applied toward the purchase of additional units. The managing
general partner has also agreed to pay the brokerage commissions, transfer taxes and other transaction fees associated with a participants purchase of common units. The maximum amount that a participant may elect to have withheld from his or
her salary or cash base pay with respect to unit purchases in any calendar year may not exceed 10% of his or her base salary or wages for the year. Units purchased on behalf of a participant under the unit purchase plan generally are to be held by
the participant for at least one year. To the extent a participant desires to sell or dispose of such units prior to the end of this one year holding period, the participant will be ineligible to participate in the unit purchase plan again until the
one year anniversary of the date of such sale. The unit purchase plan is intended to serve as a means for encouraging participants to invest in common units. Units purchased through the unit purchase plan by Inergy and its employees for the fiscal
years ended September 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004 were 12,159 units, 10,496 units, and 9,518 units, respectively.

Note 11. Employee Benefit Plans

A 401(k) plan is available to all of Inergys employees after meeting certain requirements. The plan permits employees to make
contributions up to 75% of their salary, up to statutory limits, which was $15,000 in 2006. The plan provides for matching contributions by Inergy for employees completing one year of service of at least 1,000 hours. Aggregate matching contributions
made by Inergy were $1.8 million, $1.2 million, and $0.4 million in 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively.

Of Inergys 3,021 employees,
approximately 5% are subject to collective bargaining agreements. For the years ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, Inergy made contributions on behalf of its union employees to union sponsored defined benefit plans of $2.6 million and $1.5
million, respectively. Union contributions in 2004 were insignificant.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies

Inergy periodically enters into agreements with suppliers to purchase fixed quantities of propane, distillates, natural gas and liquids at fixed prices.
At September 30, 2006, the total of these firm purchase commitments was approximately $356.5 million. Inergy also enters into agreements with suppliers to purchase quantities of propane, distillates, natural gas and liquids at variable prices
at future dates at the then prevailing market prices.

At September 30, 2006, Inergy was contingently liable for letters of credit
outstanding totaling $32.9 million, which guarantees various transactions.

Inergy is periodically involved in litigation proceedings. The
results of litigation proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty; however, management believes that Inergy does not have potential liability exposure in connection with these proceedings that would have a significant financial impact on its
consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Inergy utilizes third-party insurance subject to varying retention
levels of self-insurance, which management considers prudent. Such self-insurance relates to losses and liabilities primarily associated with medical claims, workers compensation claims and general, product, vehicle, and environmental
liability. Losses are accrued based upon managements estimates of the aggregate liability for claims incurred using certain assumptions followed in the insurance industry and based on past experience. At September 30, 2006 and 2005,
Inergys self-insurance reserves were $11.2 million and $6.4 million, respectively.

Note 13. Related Party Transactions

In connection with Inergys acquisition of assets from United Propane, Inc. on July 31, 2003, Inergy entered into ten leases of real property
formerly used by United Propane (now known as Bonavita, Inc.) in its business. Five of these leases are with United Propane, three of the leases are with Pascal Enterprises, Inc. and two with Robert A. Pascal. Each of these leases provides for an
initial five-year term, and is renewable for up to two additional terms of five years each. During the initial term of these leases, Inergy is required to make monthly rental payments totaling $59,167, of which $17,167 is payable to United Propane,
$16,800 is payable to Pascal Enterprises, and $25,200 is payable to Mr. Pascal.

On May 1, 2004, Inergy Propane entered into a
lease agreement with United Leasing, Inc. to lease a propane rail terminal known as the Curtis Bay Terminal for the base monthly rent of $15,000. On May 1, 2005 this lease was renewed and the monthly base rent was reduced to $12,500.

Robert A. Pascal is the sole shareholder of Bonavita, Inc., Pascal Enterprises and United Leasing and is on Inergys managing general
partners board of directors.

In connection with the financing of Inergys Phase II expansion rights on its Stagecoach natural
gas storage facility, on August 9, 2005 the Company entered into the Special Unit Purchase Agreement with Inergy. The Company purchased from Inergy 769,941 special units for $25 million in cash using funds from a bank loan. These units are not
entitled to current cash distributions, but are convertible to Inergy common units at a defined conversion ratio upon the Phase II expansion becoming commercially operational. The purchase price was based on the ten-day average closing price for the
Inergy common units ending August 8, 2005. Since Inergy, L.P. is consolidated in the financial statements of Inergy Holdings, L.P., the Inergy special units eliminate in consolidation and only the $25 million term loan is presented in the
financial statements.

On August 9, 2005, the Company also entered into a separate Registration Rights Agreement with Inergy relating
to the Inergy special units that allows for the registered resale of these units. On February 10, 2006, Inergy filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC for the resale of the common units issuable upon conversion of the special units.

On occasion, Holdings reimburses Inergy for expenses paid on our behalf. At September 30, 2006, Holdings did not have an amount due
to Inergy. At September 30, 2005, Holdings had a payable to Inergy of $0.3 million.

Note 14. Segments

The Companys financial statements reflect two operating and reportable segments: propane operations and midstream operations. The Companys
propane operations include propane sales to end users, the sale of propane-related appliances and service work for propane-related equipment, the sale of distillate products and wholesale distribution of propane and marketing and price risk
management services to other users, retailers and resellers of propane. The Companys midstream operations include storage of natural gas for third parties, fractionation of natural gas liquids, processing of natural gas, and the distribution
of natural gas liquids. Results of operations for acquisitions that occurred during the year ended September 30, 2006 are included in the propane segment.

The identifiable assets associated with each reportable segment include accounts receivable and inventories. Goodwill is also presented for each segment. The net asset/liability from price risk management, as reported
in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, is related to the propane segment.

Note 15. Quarterly Financial Data (Unaudited)

Inergys business is seasonal due to weather conditions in its service areas. Propane sales to residential and commercial customers are affected by
winter heating season requirements, which generally results in higher operating revenues and net income during the period from October through March of each year and lower operating revenues and either net losses or lower net income during the
period from April through September of each year. Sales to industrial and agricultural customers are much less weather sensitive. Summarized unaudited quarterly financial data is presented below (in thousands, except per unit information):

|(a) | During 2006, gross profit reflects a non-cash loss associated with derivative contracts of approximately $20.0 million, of which $19.4 is the reversal of the non-cash gain recorded
in the quarter ended September 30, 2005, and an additional $0.6 reflects a non-cash loss associated with derivative contracts which will reverse over the subsequent two quarters as the physical gallons are delivered to retail customers. For the
quarter ended September 30, 2005 gross profit reflects a non-cash gain associated with derivative contracts of $19.4 million which reversed in the first two quarters of 2006 as the physical gallons were delivered to retail customers.

|(b) | The accumulation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per limited partner unit does not total the amount for the fiscal year due to changes in ownership percentages throughout the
year.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



|(c) | The amounts are adjusted to give effect to the Conversion Transaction described in Note 1. When limited partners units outstanding are adjusted to give pro forma effect to
excess distributions, basic net income (loss) per limited partner unit was $0.09, $0.57 and $(0.27) for the quarters ended December 31, 2004, March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005, respectively.

Note 16. Issuance of Subsidiary Units

In December
2004, Inergy issued 3,568,139 common units to unrelated third parties resulting in proceeds of $91.0 million. These proceeds were used to partially fund the acquisition of Star Gas. Also in December 2004, Inergy issued 4,400,000 common units in a
public offering, resulting in proceeds of $121.3 million, net of underwriters discount, commission, and offering expenses. These funds were used to repay borrowings under Inergys Credit Agreement.

In January 2005, the underwriters of Inergys December 2004 4,400,000 common unit offering exercised their over-allotment provision and Inergy, L.P.
issued 660,000 common units in a follow-on offering, resulting in proceeds of approximately $17.9 million, net of underwriters discounts, commissions, and offering expenses. These funds were used to repay borrowings under Inergys Credit
Agreement.

In September 2005, Inergy issued 6,500,000 common units in a public offering, resulting in proceeds
of $180.4 million, net of underwriters discount, commission, and offering expenses. These funds were used to repay borrowings under Inergys Credit Agreement.

In October 2005, the underwriters of the September 2005 6,500,000 common unit offering exercised a portion of their over-allotment provision and Inergy issued an additional 900,000 common units in a follow-on
offering, resulting in proceeds of approximately $24.7 million, net of underwriters discounts, commissions, and offering expenses. These funds were used to repay borrowings under Inergys Credit Agreement.

On March 23, 2006, Inergys shelf registration statement (File No. 333-132287) was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission for the periodic sale by Inergy of up to $1.0 billion of common units, partnership securities and debt securities, or any combination thereof. Pursuant to the shelf registration statement, Inergy is permitted to issue these securities
from time to time for general business purposes, including debt repayment, future acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital, or for other potential uses identified in a prospectus supplement.

In June 2006, Inergy issued 4,312,500 common units, under the shelf registration statement, in a public offering, which included 562,500 common units
issued as result of the underwriters exercising their over-allotment provision. The issuance of these common units resulted in net proceeds of approximately $102.7 million, after deducting underwriters discounts, commissions and other offering
expenses. These proceeds were partially used to repay indebtedness under Inergys Credit Agreement with the remainder to be used to fund capital expenditures made in connection with internal growth projects related to Inergys midstream
assets.

Conversion of Subordinated Units

With the payment of Inergys distribution on August 14, 2006 with respect to the quarter ended June 30, 2006, Inergy has met the necessary financial tests for the senior subordinated units and the junior subordinated units to
convert to common units. Therefore, the remaining 3,821,884 senior subordinated units and 1,145,084 junior subordinated units converted to common units on a one-for-one basis on August 14, 2006, in accordance with the provisions of the amended
and restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Inergy, L.P. (Partnership Agreement).

Note 17. Distributions from Inergy, L.P.

Quarterly Distributions of Available Cash

Inergy is expected to make quarterly cash distributions of all of its Available Cash, generally defined as income (loss) before income taxes plus depreciation and amortization, less maintenance capital expenditures and net changes in
reserves established by the General Partner for future requirements. These reserves are retained to provide for the proper conduct of Inergys business, or to provide funds for distributions with respect to any one or more of the next four
fiscal quarters.

Distributions by Inergy in an amount equal to 100% of its Available Cash will generally be made 99% to the common and
subordinated unitholders and approximately 1% to the General Partner, subject to the payment of incentive distributions to the holders of Incentive Distribution Rights to the extent that certain target levels of cash distributions are achieved. To
the extent there is sufficient Available Cash, the holders of common units had the right to receive the Minimum Quarterly Distribution ($0.30 per Unit), plus any arrearages, prior to any distribution of Available Cash to the holders of subordinated
units.

Inergy is expected to make distributions of its Available Cash within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter ending December,
March, June, and September to holders of record on the applicable record date. Inergy

made distributions to unitholders, including the non-managing general partner, totaling $107.6 million, $67.8 million, and $37.4 million for the years ended
September 30, 2006, 2005, and 2004, respectively, or $2.14, $1.91, and $1.60 per unit, respectively, for the periods to which these distributions relate.

The Company owns all of the incentive distribution rights provided for in Inergy L.P.s partnership agreement, which entitles it to receive increasing percentages, up to 48%, of any cash distributed
by Inergy in excess of $0.33 per unit in any quarter. In addition, the Company and its subsidiaries own 3,787,340 common units, which approximates an 8.4% limited partner interest.

Note 18. Parent Company Financial Statements

The ability of the Company to make distributions to its
unitholders principally depends on the cash distributions that it receives from Inergy. The amount of distributions that Inergy makes to the Company is restricted to Available Cash as provided by certain of the provisions of Inergys credit
agreements. The following balance sheets and statements of operations set forth the stand-alone parent company condensed financial information of Inergy Holdings for the periods and as of the dates indicated.
