Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

We are filing the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet of EPE Holdings, LLC at March 31, 2007, which is included as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. EPE Holdings, LLC is the general partner of Enterprise GP Holdings L.P.

 

Risks Inherent in an Investment in Us

 

The publicly traded partnerships in which we own interests have adopted certain methodologies that may result in a shift of income, gain, loss and deduction between the general partner and the unitholders of these publicly traded partnerships. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may challenge this treatment, which could adversely affect the value of the common units of a publicly traded partnership in which we own interests and our common units.

When we, or a publicly traded partnership in which we own interests (“MLP”), issue additional units or engage in certain other transactions, the applicable MLP determines the fair market value of its assets and allocates any unrealized gain or loss attributable to such assets to the capital accounts of the MLP’s public unitholders and the MLP’s general partner. This methodology may be viewed as understating the value of the MLP’s assets. In that case, there may be a shift of income, gain, loss and deduction between certain MLP unitholders and the general partner of the MLP, which may be unfavorable to such MLP unitholders. Moreover, under this methodology, subsequent purchasers of our common units may have a greater portion of their Internal Revenue Code Section 743(b) adjustment allocated to an MLP’s intangible assets and a lesser portion allocated to an MLP’s tangible assets. The IRS may challenge these methods, or our or an MLP’s allocation of the Section 743(b) adjustment attributable to such MLP’s tangible and intangible assets, and allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction between us and certain MLP public unitholders.

A successful IRS challenge to these methods or allocations could adversely affect the amount of taxable income or loss being allocated to our unitholders or an MLP’s unitholders. It also could affect the amount of gain on the sale of common units by our unitholders or an MLP’s unitholders and could have a negative impact on the value our common units or those of an MLP or result in audit adjustments to the tax returns of our or an MLP’s unitholders without the benefit of additional deductions.
