                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                   (UNAUDITED)

1.  GENERAL

Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company (PEPL) is a wholly owned subsidiary of
PanEnergy Corp, which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Duke Energy
Corporation. PEPL and its subsidiaries (the Company) are primarily engaged in
the interstate transportation and storage of natural gas. The interstate natural
gas transmission operations of the Company are subject to the rules and
regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
all majority-owned subsidiaries. These consolidated financial statements reflect
all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management,
necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for
the respective periods.

Certain amounts for the prior periods have been reclassified in the consolidated
financial statements to conform to the current presentation.

2.  REGULATORY MATTERS

Effective August 1, 1996, Trunkline Gas Company, a subsidiary of the Company,
placed into effect a general rate increase, subject to refund. Hearings were
completed in the third quarter of 1997. The case is pending decisions by the
administrative law judge and the FERC. A recommended initial decision by the
administrative law judge on one issue in the proceeding is pending FERC review
on exceptions to this decision.

In conjunction with a FERC order issued in September 1997, certain natural gas
producers were required to refund previously collected Kansas ad-valorem taxes
to interstate natural gas pipelines. These pipelines were also ordered to refund
these amounts to their customers. All payments are to be made in compliance with
prescribed FERC requirements. At June 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, Accounts
Receivable included $47.6 million and $53.6 million, respectively, due from
natural gas producers and Other Current Liabilities included $47.6 million and
$53.6 million, respectively, for related obligations.

3.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

A summary of certain balances due to or due from related parties included in the
Consolidated Balance Sheets is as follows :

    -------------------------------------------
                       June 30,     December
    IN MILLIONS          1998       31, 1997
    -------------------------------------------
    Receivables          $ 2.7        $ 8.1
    Accounts payable      36.1         36.6
    Taxes accrued         34.0         54.8
    -------------------------------------------

Advances and Note Receivable - Parent included a $30 million note at June 30,
1998 and December 31, 1997.

Interest expense included $13.9 million and $12.3 million for the three months
ended June 30, 1998 and 1997, respectively, of interest associated with notes
payable to parent. Interest expense for the year to date June 30, 1998 and 1997
included $27.8 million and $24.2 million, respectively, of interest associated
with notes payable to parent.


                                       5

4. GAS IMBALANCES

The Consolidated Balance Sheets included in-kind balances as a result of
differences in gas volumes received and delivered. At June 30, 1998 and December
31, 1997, other current assets included $22.9 million and $24.2 million,
respectively, and other current liabilities included $26.0 million and $22.0
million, respectively, related to gas imbalances.

5.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

LITIGATION. On April 25, 1997, a group of affiliated plaintiffs that own and/or
operate various pipeline and marketing companies and partnerships primarily in
Kansas filed suit against PEPL in the United States District Court for the
Western District of Missouri. The plaintiffs allege that PEPL has engaged in
unlawful and anti-competitive conduct with regard to requests for interconnects
with the PEPL system for service to the Kansas City area. Asserting that PEPL
has violated the antitrust laws and tortiously interfered with the plaintiffs'
contracts with third parties, the plaintiffs seek compensatory and punitive
damages. Based on information currently available to the Company, the Company
believes the resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect
on the consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Company.

On May 13, 1997, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (Anadarko) filed suits against
PEPL and other affiliates, as defendants, both in the United States District
Court for the Southern District of Texas and State District Court of Harris
County, Texas. Anadarko claims that it was effectively indemnified by the
defendants against any responsibility for refunds of Kansas ad-valorem taxes
which are due purchasers of gas from Anadarko, retroactive to 1983. The suit has
been stayed pending resolution by the FERC of ad-valorem tax issues. Based on
information currently available to the Company, the Company believes the
resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the
consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Company.

The Company is also involved in other legal, tax and regulatory proceedings
before various courts, regulatory commissions and governmental agencies
regarding matters arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which
involve substantial amounts. Where appropriate for all of these matters, the
Company has made accruals in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," in order to provide for such
matters. Management is of the opinion that the final disposition of these
matters will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated results of
operations or financial position of the Company.

OTHER COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES. In 1993, the U.S. Department of the
Interior announced its intention to seek additional royalties from gas producers
as a result of payments received by such producers in connection with past
take-or-pay settlements, and buyouts and buydowns of gas sales contracts with
natural gas pipelines. The Company's pipelines, with respect to certain producer
contract settlements, may be contractually required to reimburse or, in some
instances, to indemnify producers against such royalty claims. The potential
liability of the producers to the government and of the pipelines to the
producers involves complex issues of law and fact which are likely to take
substantial time to resolve. If required to reimburse or indemnify the
producers, the Company's pipelines will file with FERC to recover a portion of
these costs from pipeline customers. Management is of the opinion that the
resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the
consolidated results of operations or financial position of the Company.

PEPL owns an effective 5.3% ownership interest in Northern Border Pipeline
Company (Northern Border) through a master limited partnership. Under the terms
of a settlement related to a transportation agreement between PEPL and Northern
Border, PEPL guarantees payment to Northern Border under a transportation
agreement held by an affiliate of Pan-Alberta Gas Limited. The transportation
agreement requires estimated total payments of $68.1 million for the remainder
of 1998 through 2001. In the opinion of management, the probability that PEPL
will be required to perform under this guarantee is remote.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S  DISCUSSION  AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF  OPERATIONS  AND
         FINANCIAL CONDITION.

INTRODUCTION

Panhandle Eastern Pipe Line Company (PEPL) is a wholly owned subsidiary of
PanEnergy Corp, which is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Duke Energy
Corporation. PEPL and its subsidiaries (the Company), are primarily engaged in
the interstate transportation and storage of natural gas. The interstate natural
gas transmission and storage operations of the Company are subject to the rules
and regulations of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC).

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, net income was $52.8 million, down $13.2
million from the comparable period in 1997. Total natural gas transportation
volumes for the six months ended June 30, 1998 decreased 8% from the same period
in 1997, primarily due to warmer weather.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 1998 decreased $31.6 million from the
comparable period in 1997, due primarily to favorable resolution of regulatory
matters in 1997 and decreased transportation volumes in 1998.

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 1998 decreased $13.8
million from the prior year comparable period, primarily as a result of lower
regulatory asset amortization expense.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, operating cash flows increased $76.6
million over the same period in 1997 due primarily to PEPL rate settlement 
refunds paid in 1997.

For the six months ended June 30, 1998, capital and investment expenditures
totaled $41.2 million compared with $36.0 million for the same period in 1997.
This increase is primarily due to the Terrebonne business expansion project.
Projected 1998 capital and investment expenditures, including allowance for
funds used during construction, are approximately $87.9 million. These
projections are subject to periodic review and revision. Expenditures for 1998
are expected to be funded by cash from operations and/or the collection of
intercompany advances and receivables.

CHANGES FOR THE YEAR 2000

In 1996, the Company initiated a program to address Year 2000 readiness issues
relating to computer and process control systems, equipment and devices. Many of
these systems, equipment and devices are now Year 2000 ready or have been
scheduled for replacement in the Company's ongoing systems plans. The Company is
continuing its assessment of Year 2000 impacts across its business and
operations, including its customer and vendor base, and continues to develop and
implement remediation plans using established processes to avoid adverse impacts
of Year 2000 on its business and operations. Management believes it is devoting 
the resources necessary to achieve Year 2000 readiness in a timely manner. Total
cost of the program, including internal labor as well as incremental costs such
as consulting and contract costs, is expected to be approximately $1 million.
These costs exclude replacement systems that, in addition to being Year 2000
ready, provide significantly enhanced capabilities which will benefit operations
in future periods.

Based on assessments completed to date, compliance plans in process and 
contingency planning efforts, management is of the opinion that the Year 2000 
issue, including the cost of making its critical systems, equipment and devices

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

From time to time, the Company may make statements regarding its assumptions,
projections, expectations, intentions or beliefs about future events. These
statements are intended as "forward-looking statements" under the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. The Company cautions that assumptions,
projections, expectations, intentions or beliefs about future events may and
often do vary from actual results and the differences between assumptions,
projections, expectations, intentions or beliefs and actual results can be
material. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that actual results will not
differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking
statements. The following are some of the factors that could cause actual
achievements and events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in
such forward-looking statements: state and federal legislative and regulatory
initiatives that affect cost and investment recovery, have an impact on rate
structures, and affect the speed and degree to which competition enters the
natural gas industry; the weather and other natural phenomena; the timing and
extent of changes in commodity prices and interest rates; changes in
environmental and other laws and regulations to which the Company and its
subsidiaries are subject or other external factors over which the Company has no
control; the results of financing efforts; growth in opportunities for the
Company's subsidiaries; and the effect of the Company's accounting policies, in
each case during the periods covered by the forward-looking statements.
