RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risks and other information contained in this prospectus before deciding to participate in the exchange offer. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks facing us or applicable to your investment in our new notes. Additional risks not presently known to us or which we consider immaterial based on information currently available to us may also materially adversely affect us. If any of the following risks or uncertainties actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially adversely affected.

Risks Related to the Exchange Offer and the Notes and our Capital Structure

We have a substantial amount of indebtedness which may adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to operate our business, to comply with debt covenants and to make payments on our indebtedness, including the notes.

We are highly leveraged. As of September 30, 2007, our total indebtedness, including the notes and the indebtedness of the Partnership, was $1,769.5 million, which represents approximately 65% of our capitalization. For the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2006, our interest expense was $180 million. In addition, as of December 31, 2006, we had issued approximately $227.5 million in irrevocable standby letters of credit under our $300 million senior secured synthetic letter of credit facility, which is not reflected on our balance sheet. We may also utilize our $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility in the future.

Our substantial level of indebtedness increases the possibility that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay, when due, the principal of, interest on or other amounts due in respect of our indebtedness, including the notes. Our substantial indebtedness, combined with our lease and other financial obligations and contractual commitments, could have other important consequences to you as a holder of notes, including the following:

Our ability to service our debt, including the notes, will depend upon, among other things, our future financial and operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions and financial, business, regulatory and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. If our operating results are not sufficient to service our current or future indebtedness, we will be forced to take actions such as reducing or delaying our business activities, acquisitions, investments or capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or refinancing our debt, or seeking additional equity capital. We may not be able to effect any of these actions on satisfactory terms, or at all. Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Capital Requirements.”

Increases in interest rates could adversely affect our business.

In addition to our exposure to commodity prices, we have significant exposure to increases in interest rates. As of September 30, 2007, our total indebtedness was $1,769.5 million, of which $250 million was at fixed interest rates and $1,519.5 million was at variable interest rates. A one percentage point increase in the interest rate on our variable interest rate debt would have increased annual interest expense by approximately $11.7 million. As a result of our significant amount of variable interest rate debt, our financial condition could be adversely affected by significant increases in interest rates.

Despite current indebtedness levels, we and our subsidiaries may still be able to incur substantially more debt. This could increase the risks associated with our substantial leverage.

We and our subsidiaries may be able to incur substantial additional indebtedness in the future. Although the indenture governing the notes and our senior secured credit facilities contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions, and any indebtedness incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. For example, in addition to the $1,225 million of indebtedness outstanding under our senior secured term loan facility at September 30, 2007 and up to $250 million available under our senior secured revolving credit facility, the indenture governing the notes will allow us to incur additional indebtedness of up to $200 million of senior secured debt. As an additional example, the indenture governing the notes will allow us to incur a significant amount of indebtedness in connection with acquisitions (including an unlimited amount of certain types of debt that will require cash payments of interest during the period the notes are outstanding). The indenture also permits the incurrence of indebtedness by the Partnership. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our substantial leverage would increase.

Repayment of our debt, including the notes, is dependent on cash flow generated by our subsidiaries.

Targa Resources, Inc. is a holding company and Targa Resources Finance Corporation was created solely to serve as a corporate co-obligor on the obligations of Targa Resources, Inc. under the Indenture and will continue to have nominal assets and no operations or revenues. Our subsidiaries own substantially all of our operating assets and conduct substantially all of our operations. Accordingly, repayment of our indebtedness, including the notes, is dependent, to a material extent, on the generation of cash flow by our subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash available to us, by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise. Unless they are guarantors of the notes, our subsidiaries do not have any obligation to pay amounts due on the notes or to make funds available for that purpose. Our subsidiaries may not be able to, or be permitted to, make distributions to enable us to make payments in respect of our indebtedness, including the notes. Each subsidiary is a distinct legal entity and, under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries. While the indenture governing the notes and our senior secured credit facilities limit the ability of our subsidiaries that are not subsidiary guarantors to incur consensual restrictions on their ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany payments to us, these limitations are subject to certain significant qualifications and exceptions, including an exception with respect to any restrictions included in the documentation governing indebtedness that is permitted to be incurred under the terms of the indenture governing the notes. In the event that we do not receive distributions from our subsidiaries, we may be unable to make required principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, including the notes.

The notes will be structurally subordinated to claims of creditors of our current and future non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The notes will be structurally subordinated to indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the notes, including the Partnership. The indenture governing the notes will allow our non-guarantor subsidiaries to incur a significant amount of permitted indebtedness in the future, including refinancing indebtedness under all of the baskets for our senior secured credit facilities and our incremental

Table of Contents

$200 million senior secured debt basket. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, these non-guarantor subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debts, holders of preferred equity interests and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to us.

Investors may not be able to rely on the earnings and assets of our joint ventures to support payments due under the notes.

We hold majority interests in our Versado and Cedar Bayou Fractionators joint ventures. While the minority shareholders’ income related to these joint ventures is deducted as minority expense in calculating our net income, our consolidated financial statements reflect the financial results of these companies, including all of their revenue and operating income, even though we own less than 100% of their equity and do not solely control the distribution of their income. We also hold minority interests in VESCO and Gulf Coast Fractionators, and do not control the distribution of their income.

The ability of our joint ventures to distribute their earnings to us, in the form of dividends or otherwise, is subject to, among other things, the consent of our joint venture partners. Each of our existing majority-owned joint ventures are, and any future majority-owned joint venture will likely be, an unrestricted subsidiary and, therefore, will not be subject to the covenants contained in the indenture governing the notes or our senior secured credit facilities and will not guarantee the notes or our senior secured credit facilities. The indenture governing the notes will permit us to distribute to our stockholders all of our equity interests in future unrestricted subsidiaries (but not the equity of our existing majority-owned joint ventures) without any restriction. Accordingly, investors in the notes may not be able to rely upon income from or the assets of our joint ventures to support the payment of interest, principal or other amounts owing in respect of the notes.

We may transfer a significant amount of our assets to master limited partnerships, which will not be restricted subsidiaries and will not guarantee the notes.

Our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes permit us, subject to certain conditions, to transfer assets, including equity interests we hold in other entities, to the Partnership or other master limited partnerships, or MLPs, and their subsidiaries, which will not be restricted subsidiaries or guarantors of the notes. These conditions include, among other things, that (i) after and as a result of any such transfer we receive an amount of cash attributable to such transfer equal to at least 75% of the fair market value of the assets or equity interests transferred, with the remaining consideration in the form of equity interests in the Partnership or other MLP to which the assets or equity interests are contributed and (ii) we apply the net cash proceeds received from the transfer to repay senior indebtedness, repurchase notes or, subject to certain limitations, reinvest in our business. Provided that we comply with these and other conditions, we may transfer a significant portion of our assets to the Partnership or other MLPs and their subsidiaries, and they will not be subject to any restrictions under our senior secured credit facilities or the indenture governing the notes or be required to distribute any funds to us or provide any guarantee in respect of the notes.

Investors may not be able to rely on the earnings or assets of the Partnership or the general partner of the Partnership to support payments due under the notes.

The ability of the Partnership, any other MLP or a general partner of an MLP following such general partner’s initial public offering, to distribute earnings to us is subject to the decisions of the board of directors (or similar governing body) of the Partnership’s or other MLP’s general partner. The members of these boards owe fiduciary duties to public equity holders of the Partnership or other MLP, and will not owe any duties, fiduciary or otherwise, to holders of the notes. The Partnership is not, and any other MLPs will not be, subject to the covenants contained in the indenture governing the notes or our senior secured credit facilities and will not guarantee the notes or our senior secured credit facilities. Likewise, following its initial public offering, the general partner of the Partnership or other MLP will no longer be subject to the covenants contained in the indenture governing the notes or our senior secured credit facilities and will be released from its guarantee of the notes and the senior secured credit facilities.

Table of Contents

Our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes permit us, subject to certain conditions, to sell equity interests in the Partnership or any other MLP. In addition, we are allowed to distribute to our stockholders equity interests we may hold in the Partnership or any other MLPs and general partners of MLPs if our pro forma consolidated leverage ratio after giving effect to any such distributions is less than 2.75 to 1.00. Accordingly, investors in the notes may not be able to rely upon income from or the assets of the Partnership or any other MLPs, or any general partners of MLPs to support the payment of interest, principal or other amounts owing in respect of the notes.

The terms of our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes may restrict our current and future operations, particularly our ability to respond to changes in our business or to take certain actions.

The credit agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities and the indenture governing the notes contain, and any future indebtedness we incur would likely contain, a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions, including restrictions on our ability to engage in acts that may be in our best long-term interests. The senior secured credit agreement and indenture governing the notes include covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to:

The senior secured credit agreement also includes covenants that, among other things, restrict our ability to:

In addition, our senior secured credit facilities require us to satisfy and maintain specified financial ratios and other financial condition tests, some of which will become more restrictive over time. Our ability to meet those financial ratios and tests can be affected by events beyond our control, and we cannot assure you that we will meet those ratios and tests.

A breach of any of these covenants could result in an event of default under our senior secured credit facilities. Upon the occurrence of such an event of default, the lenders could elect to declare all amounts outstanding under the senior secured credit facilities to be immediately due and payable and terminate all commitments to extend further credit. If we were unable to repay those amounts, the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure that indebtedness. We have

10

Table of Contents

pledged substantially all of our assets as collateral under our senior secured credit facilities. If the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities accelerate the repayment of borrowings, we cannot assure you that we will have sufficient assets to repay our senior secured credit facilities, as well as our unsecured indebtedness, including the notes.

The operating and financial restrictions and covenants in these debt agreements and any future financing agreements may adversely affect our ability to finance future operations or capital needs or to engage in other business activities.

The notes and the guarantees are not secured by our assets nor those of the subsidiary guarantors, and the lenders under our senior secured credit facilities and certain present and future counterparties under our secured hedging arrangements will be entitled to remedies available to secured creditors, which gives them priority over the note holders to collect amounts due to them.

The notes and the guarantees are not secured by any of our assets. Our obligations under our senior secured credit facilities and certain of our hedging arrangements are secured by, among other things, a first priority pledge of substantially all our and our subsidiary guarantors’ assets, subject to certain exceptions. The notes are effectively subordinated to this senior secured indebtedness and such secured hedging arrangements to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness. As of September 30, 2007, on a combined basis, the notes and the guarantees were effectively subordinated to approximately $1,519.5 million of indebtedness outstanding under our senior secured credit facilities. Under the terms of the indenture governing the notes, we may incur additional senior secured indebtedness under, or in addition to, our senior secured credit facilities, and such additional indebtedness could be significant. We have entered into long-term, fixed price hedges covering a portion of our expected natural gas and NGL equity volumes. If the difference between the amount we owe our hedge counterparties is more than the amount our counterparties owe to us, then the amount of such difference will be secured by our assets.

The right of repayment under the notes may be compromised if we enter into bankruptcy, liquidation, reorganization or other winding-up proceedings or if there is a default in, or acceleration of, payment under our senior secured credit facilities, our senior secured hedging arrangements or other senior secured indebtedness. If any of these events occurs, the senior secured creditors could sell those of our assets in which they have been granted a security interest, to the exclusion of the note holders, even if an event of default exists under the indenture at such time. As a result, upon the occurrence of any of these events, there may not be sufficient funds to pay amounts due on the notes.

Federal and state statutes may allow courts, under specific circumstances, to void guarantees and subordinate claims in respect of the guarantees.

The issuance of the guarantees by the subsidiary guarantors may be subject to review under state and federal laws if a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization case or a lawsuit, including in circumstances in which bankruptcy is not involved, were commenced at some future date by the subsidiary guarantors or on behalf of our unpaid creditors or the unpaid creditors of a guarantor.

Under the federal bankruptcy laws and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer and fraudulent conveyance laws, a court may void or otherwise decline to enforce a subsidiary guarantor’s guarantee, or a court may subordinate such guarantee to the applicable subsidiary guarantor’s existing and future indebtedness.

While the relevant laws may vary from state to state, a court might void or otherwise decline to enforce the guarantee if it found that when the applicable subsidiary guarantor entered into its guarantee, or, in some states, when payments became due under the guarantee, the applicable subsidiary guarantor received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration and either:

11

Table of Contents

A court might also void a guarantee, without regard to the above factors, if it found that the applicable subsidiary guarantor entered into its guarantee with actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud its creditors.

A court would likely find that a subsidiary guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the guarantee if such subsidiary guarantor did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the applicable guarantee. As a general matter, value is given for a guarantee if, in exchange for the guarantee, property is transferred or an antecedent debt is satisfied. In the case of the subsidiary guarantees, a court could find that the benefit from the guarantees went to Targa and that the guarantors did not, directly or indirectly, receive any benefit from the guarantees.

The measures of insolvency applied by courts will vary depending upon the particular fraudulent transfer law applied in any proceeding to determine whether a fraudulent transfer has occurred. Generally, however, an entity would be considered insolvent if:

In the event of a finding that a fraudulent conveyance or transfer has occurred, a court may void, or hold unenforceable, any of the guarantees, which could mean that you may not receive any payments on the guarantees and the court may direct you to repay any amounts that you have already received from any subsidiary guarantor to such subsidiary guarantor or a fund for the benefit of such subsidiary guarantor’s creditors. Furthermore, the holders of voided notes would cease to have any direct claim against the applicable subsidiary guarantor. Consequently, the applicable subsidiary guarantor’s assets would be applied first to satisfy our or the applicable subsidiary guarantor’s liabilities, if any, before any portion of the applicable subsidiary guarantor’s assets could be applied to the payment of the notes. Sufficient funds to repay the notes may not be available from other sources, including the remaining subsidiary guarantors, if any. Moreover, the voidance of a guarantee could result in an event of default with respect to our and our subsidiary guarantors’ other debt that could result in acceleration of such debt (if not otherwise accelerated due to such subsidiary guarantor’s insolvency or other proceeding).

Although each guarantee will contain a provision intended to limit that subsidiary guarantor’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer, this provision may not be effective to protect those guarantees from being voided under fraudulent transfer law, or may reduce that subsidiary guarantor’s obligation to an amount that effectively makes its guarantee worthless.

12

Table of Contents

Because each subsidiary guarantor’s liability under its guarantee may be reduced to zero, avoided or released under certain circumstances, you may not receive any payments from some or all of the subsidiary guarantors.

You have the benefit of the guarantees of the subsidiary guarantors. However, the guarantees by the subsidiary guarantors are limited to the maximum amount that the subsidiary guarantors are permitted to guarantee under applicable law. As a result, a subsidiary guarantor’s liability under its guarantee could be reduced to zero, depending upon the amount of other obligations of such subsidiary guarantor. Further, under the circumstances discussed more fully above, a court under federal or state fraudulent conveyance and transfer statutes could void the obligations under a guarantee or further subordinate it to all other obligations of the subsidiary guarantor. In addition, you will lose the benefit of a particular guarantee if it is released under certain circumstances described in the indenture.

We may not be able to repurchase the notes upon a change of control.

Upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, we will be required to offer to repurchase all notes that are outstanding at 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, and additional interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. Our senior secured credit facilities provide that certain change of control events (including a change of control as defined in the indenture governing the notes) constitute a default. Any future credit agreement or other agreements relating to our indebtedness would likely contain similar provisions. If we experience a change of control event that triggers a default under our senior secured credit facilities or any future credit facility, we could seek a waiver of such default or seek to refinance the relevant indebtedness. In the event we do not obtain such a waiver or refinance our senior secured credit facilities, such default could result in amounts outstanding under our senior secured credit facilities being declared due and payable. In the event we experience a change of control event that results in our having to offer to repurchase your notes, we may not have sufficient financial resources to satisfy all of our obligations under our senior or any replacement secured credit facilities, any other outstanding debt and the notes. A failure to make the applicable change of control offer or to pay the applicable change of control purchase price when due would result in a default under the indenture.

In addition, the change of control covenant in the indenture governing the notes does not cover all corporate reorganizations, mergers or similar transactions and may not provide you with protection in a highly leveraged transaction.

If you do not properly tender your outstanding notes, you will continue to hold unregistered outstanding notes and your ability to transfer outstanding notes will be adversely affected.

We will only issue new notes in exchange for outstanding notes that you timely and properly tender. Therefore, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery of the outstanding notes and you should carefully follow the instructions on how to tender your outstanding notes. Neither we nor the exchange agent is required to tell you of any defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of outstanding notes.

If you do not exchange your outstanding notes for new notes pursuant to the exchange offer, the outstanding notes you hold will continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions. In general, you may not offer or sell the outstanding notes except under exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. We do not plan to register outstanding notes under the Securities Act unless our registration rights agreement with the initial purchaser of the outstanding notes requires us to do so. Further, if you continue to hold any outstanding notes after the exchange offer is consummated, you may have trouble selling them because there will be fewer notes outstanding.

We cannot assure you that an active trading market for the notes will develop.

The new notes are a new issue of securities for which there is no established trading market. We do not intend to have the notes listed on a national securities exchange or included in any automated quotation system. The liquidity of any market for the notes will depend upon the number of holders of the notes, our performance,

13

Table of Contents

the market for similar securities, the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the notes and other factors. A liquid trading market may not develop for the notes. If an active market does not develop or is not maintained, the price and liquidity of the notes may be adversely affected.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our cash flow is affected by supply and demand for natural gas and NGL products, natural gas and NGL prices, and decreases in these prices due to weather and other natural and economic forces could materially and adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

Our operations can be affected by the level of natural gas and NGL prices and the relationship between these prices. The prices of natural gas and NGLs have been volatile and we expect this volatility to continue. The NYMEX daily settlement price for natural gas for the prompt month contract in the year ended December 31, 2005 ranged from a high of $15.38 per MMBtu to a low of $5.79 per MMBtu and for the year ended December 31, 2006 ranged from a high of $10.63 per MMBtu to a low of $4.20 per MMBtu. From the beginning of 2007 through September 30, 2007 the NYMEX daily settlement price for natural gas has ranged from a high of $8.19 per MMBtu to a low of $5.38 per MMBtu. NGL prices exhibit similar volatility. Based on monthly index prices, the average price for our NGL composition in the year ended December 31, 2005 ranged from a high of $1.12 per gallon to a low of $0.73 per gallon and for the year ended December 31, 2006 ranged from a high of $1.18 per gallon to a low of $0.92 per gallon. From the beginning of 2007 through September 30, 2007 the average price for our NGL composition ranged from a high of $1.27 per gallon to a low of $0.93 per gallon.

Our future cash flow will be materially adversely affected if we experience significant, prolonged pricing deterioration below general price levels experienced over the past few years in our industry.

The markets and prices for natural gas and NGLs depend upon factors beyond our control. These factors include demand for these commodities, which fluctuate with changes in market and economic conditions and other factors, including:

Our primary natural gas gathering and processing arrangements that expose us to commodity price risk are percent-of-proceeds arrangements. Under percent-of-proceeds arrangements, we generally process natural gas from producers and remit to the producers an agreed percentage of the proceeds from the sale of residue gas and NGL products at market prices or a percentage of residue gas and NGL products at the tailgate of our processing facilities. In some percent-of-proceeds arrangements, we remit to the producer a percentage of an index price for residue gas and NGL products, less agreed adjustments, rather than remitting a portion of the actual sales proceeds. Under these types of arrangements, our revenues and our cash flows increase or decrease, whichever is applicable, as the price of natural gas, NGLs and/or crude oil fluctuates.

Because of the natural decline in production from existing wells in our operating regions, our success depends on our ability to obtain new sources of supplies of natural gas and NGLs which depends on certain factors beyond our control. Any decrease in supplies of natural gas or NGLs could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our gathering systems are connected to natural gas wells, from which the production will naturally decline over time, which means that our cash flows associated with these wells will likely also decline over time. To maintain or increase throughput levels on our gathering systems and the utilization rate at our processing plants and our treating and fractionation facilities, we must continually obtain new natural gas supplies. Additionally, our profitability is materially affected by the volume of raw NGL mix fractionated at our fractionation facilities. A material decrease in natural gas production from producing areas that we rely on for raw NGL mix, as a result of depressed commodity prices or otherwise, could result in a decline in the volume of NGL products delivered to our fractionation facilities. Our ability to obtain additional sources of natural gas depends in part on the level of successful drilling activity near our gathering systems.

We have no control over the level of drilling activity in the areas of our operations, the amount of reserves associated with the wells or the rate at which production from a well will decline. In addition, we have no control over producers or their drilling or production decisions, which are affected by, among other things, prevailing and projected energy prices, demand for hydrocarbons, the level of reserves, geological considerations, governmental regulations, availability of drilling rigs and other production and development costs and the availability and cost of capital. Fluctuations in energy prices can greatly affect production rates and investments by third parties in the development of new oil and natural gas reserves. Drilling activity generally decreases as oil and natural gas prices decrease. In the past, the prices of natural gas have been extremely volatile, and we expect this volatility to continue. Natural gas prices reached historic highs in 2005 and early 2006, but declined substantially in the second half of 2006 and have continued to decline in 2007. Reductions in exploration or production activity or shut-ins by producers in the areas in which we operate as a result of a sustained decline in natural gas prices would lead to reduced utilization of our gathering and processing assets.

Because of these factors, even if new natural gas reserves are discovered in areas served by our assets, producers may choose not to develop those reserves. If, due to reductions in drilling activity or competition, we are not able to obtain new supplies of natural gas to replace the natural decline in volumes from existing wells, throughput on our pipelines and the utilization rates of our treating, processing and fractionation facilities would decline, which could reduce our revenue.

Some of our business is seasonal, requires that we build inventory to meet seasonal demand, and is potentially impacted by weather.

While the volumes of raw NGL mix that we fractionate are generally stable on an average annual basis, they often vary on a seasonal basis. For example, we typically fractionate lower volumes during the winter months, when more raw NGL mix is fractionated by facilities closer to the field to capture propane for heating purposes and when natural gas wells and certain oil wells tend to be less productive. Conversely, we typically fractionate greater volumes during the summer months, when less raw NGL mix is locally fractionated for heating purposes, when natural gas wells tend to be more productive and when refineries have excess supply of raw NGL mix due to various regulatory restrictions. This seasonality in demand may cause our results of operations to lack predictability on a quarter to quarter basis.

Similarly, weather conditions have a significant impact on the demand for propane because end-users depend on propane principally for heating purposes. Warmer-than-normal temperatures in one or more regions in which we operate can significantly decrease the total volume of propane we sell. Lack of consumer demand for propane may also adversely affect the retailers we transact with in our wholesale propane marketing operations, exposing us to their inability to satisfy their contractual obligations to us.

If we fail to balance our purchases of natural gas and our sales of residue gas and NGLs, our exposure to commodity price risk will increase.

We may not be successful in balancing our purchases of natural gas and our sales of residue gas and NGLs. In addition, a producer could fail to deliver promised volumes to us or deliver in excess of contracted volumes, or a purchaser could purchase less than contracted volumes. Any of these actions could cause an imbalance between our purchases and sales. If our purchases and sales are not balanced, we will face increased exposure to commodity price risks and could have increased volatility in our operating income.

Our hedging activities may not be effective in reducing the variability of our cash flows and may, in certain circumstances, increase the variability of our cash flows. Moreover, our hedges may not fully protect us against volatility in basis differentials. Finally, the percentage of our expected equity commodity volumes that are hedged decreases substantially over time.

We have entered into derivative transactions related to only a portion of our equity volumes. As a result, we will continue to have direct commodity price risk to the unhedged portion. Our actual future volumes may be significantly higher or lower than we estimated at the time we entered into the derivative transactions for that period. If the actual amount is higher than we estimated, we will have greater commodity price risk than we intended. If the actual amount is lower than the amount that is subject to our derivative financial instruments, we might be forced to satisfy all or a portion of our derivative transactions without the benefit of the cash flow from our sale of the underlying physical commodity, resulting in a reduction of our liquidity. The percentages of our expected equity volumes that are covered by our hedges decrease over time. The derivative instruments we utilize for these hedges are based on posted market prices, which may be lower than the actual natural gas, NGL and condensate prices that we realize in our operations. These pricing differentials may be substantial and could materially impact the prices we ultimately realize. As a result of these factors, our hedging activities may not be as effective as we intend in reducing the variability of our cash flows, and in certain circumstances may actually increase the variability of our cash flows. To the extent we hedge our commodity price risk, we may forego the benefits we would otherwise experience if commodity prices were to change in our favor. For additional information regarding our hedging activities, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation—Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.”

If third-party pipelines and other facilities interconnected to our natural gas pipelines and facilities become partially or fully unavailable to transport natural gas and NGLs, our revenues could be adversely affected.

We depend upon third party pipelines and other facilities that provide delivery options to and from our pipelines and processing and fractionation facilities. Since we do not own or operate these pipelines or other facilities, their continuing operation in their current manner is not within our control. If any of these third-party pipelines and other facilities become partially or fully unavailable to transport natural gas and NGLs, or if the gas quality specifications for their pipelines or facilities change so as to restrict our ability to transport gas on those pipelines or facilities, our revenues and cash available for distribution could be adversely affected.

Our industry is highly competitive, and increased competitive pressure could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We compete with similar enterprises in our respective areas of operation. Some of our competitors are large oil, natural gas and petrochemical companies or integrated midstream energy companies that have greater financial resources and access to supplies of natural gas and NGLs than we do. Some of these competitors may expand or construct gathering, processing and transportation systems that would create additional competition for the services we provide to our customers. In addition, our customers who are significant producers of natural gas may develop their own gathering, processing and transportation systems in lieu of using ours. Our ability to renew or replace existing contracts with our customers in the gathering and processing business, as well as the natural gas logistics and marketing business, at rates sufficient to maintain current revenues and cash flows could be adversely affected by the activities of our competitors and our customers. All of these competitive pressures could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and ability to make cash distributions to you.

Table of Contents

We typically do not obtain independent evaluations of natural gas reserves dedicated to our gathering pipeline systems; therefore, volumes of natural gas on our systems in the future could be less than we anticipate.

We typically do not obtain independent evaluations of natural gas reserves connected to our gathering systems due to the unwillingness of producers to provide reserve information as well as the cost of such evaluations. Accordingly, we do not have independent estimates of total reserves dedicated to our gathering systems or the anticipated life of such reserves. If the total reserves or estimated life of the reserves connected to our gathering systems is less than we anticipate and we are unable to secure additional sources of natural gas, then the volumes of natural gas transported on our gathering systems in the future could be less than we anticipate. A decline in the volumes of natural gas on our systems could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

A reduction in demand for NGL products by the petrochemical, refining or heating industries could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.

The NGL products we produce have a variety of applications, including as heating fuels, petrochemical feedstocks and refining blend stocks. A reduction in demand for NGL products, whether because of general economic conditions, new government regulations, reduced demand by consumers for products made with NGL products, increased competition from petroleum-based products due to pricing differences, mild winter weather or other reasons, could result in a decline in the volume of NGL products we handle or reduce the fees we charge for our services. Our NGL products and their demand are affected as follows:

Ethane. Ethane is typically supplied as purity ethane and as part of ethane-propane mix. Ethane is primarily used in the petrochemical industry as feedstock for ethylene, one of the basic building blocks for a wide range of plastics and other chemical products. Although ethane is typically extracted as part of the mixed NGL stream at gas processing plants, if natural gas prices increase significantly in relation to NGL product prices or if the demand for ethylene falls, it may be more profitable for natural gas producers to leave the ethane in the natural gas stream thereby reducing the volume of NGLs delivered for fractionation and marketing. We have experienced periods where natural gas producers have retained ethane in the natural gas stream and may experience such periods in the future.

Propane. Propane is used as a petrochemical feedstock in the production of ethylene and propylene, as a heating, engine and industrial fuel, and in agricultural applications such as crop drying. Changes in demand for ethylene and propylene could adversely affect demand for propane. The demand for propane as a heating fuel is significantly affected by weather conditions. The volume of propane sold is at its highest during the six-month peak heating season of October through March. Demand for our propane may be reduced during periods of warmer-than-normal weather.

Normal Butane. Normal butane is used in the production of isobutane, as a refined product blending component, as a fuel gas, either alone or in a mixture with propane, and in the production of ethylene and propylene. Changes in the mandated composition of refined products, demand for heating fuel and for ethylene and propylene, could adversely affect demand for normal butane.

Isobutane. Isobutane is predominantly used in refineries to produce alkylates to enhance octane levels. Accordingly, any action that reduces demand for motor gasoline or demand for isobutane to produce alkylates for octane enhancement might reduce demand for isobutane.

Natural Gasoline. Natural gasoline is used as a blending component for certain refined products and as a feedstock used in the production of ethylene and propylene. Changes in the mandated composition of motor gasoline and in demand for ethylene and propylene could adversely affect demand for natural gasoline.

Any reduced demand for ethane, propane, normal butane, isobutane or natural gasoline for any of the reasons stated above could adversely affect demand for the services we provide as well as NGL prices, which would negatively impact our results of operations and financial condition.

We have significant relationships with Chevron as a producer utilizing our gas processing operations, a purchaser of our NGLs and a customer for our marketing and refinery services. In some cases, these agreements are subject to renegotiation and termination rights.

We have several gas processing agreements with Chevron pursuant to which Chevron has dedicated, for the life of the fields, substantially all of the natural gas it produces from committed areas in New Mexico, Texas and the Gulf of Mexico. In 2006 and in the first nine months of 2007, approximately 19% and 21%, respectively, of our natural gas gathered for processing was from Chevron under these gas processing agreements. These contracts provide that either party has the right to periodically renegotiate the processing terms. If the parties are unable to agree on revised terms, then the agreements provide for the issue to be settled by binding arbitration. It is possible that the terms will be renegotiated or arbitrated on terms that are less favorable to us than the current terms of these agreements. In addition, to the extent that the volume of natural gas processed under these contracts declines as a result of depletion or otherwise, we would be adversely affected.

In 2006 and in the first nine months of 2007, approximately 28% and 24%, respectively, of our consolidated revenues and approximately 20% and 13%, respectively, of our consolidated cost of sales, were derived from transactions with Chevron and ChevronPhillipsCompany, or CPC. We are in the process of renegotiating our contracts with CPC. See “Business—Significant Customers.” Under many of our Chevron contracts where we purchase or market NGLs on Chevron’s behalf, Chevron may elect to terminate the contracts or renegotiate the price terms. To the extent Chevron reduces the volumes of NGLs that it purchases from us or reduces the volumes of NGLs that we market on its behalf, or to the extent the economic terms of such contracts are changed, our revenues and cash available for debt service could decline.

We do not own most of the land on which our pipelines and facilities are located, which could disrupt our operations.

We do not own most of the land on which our pipelines and facilities are located, and we are therefore subject to the possibility of more onerous terms and/or increased costs to retain necessary land use if we do not have valid rights of way or leases or if such rights of way or leases lapse or terminate. We sometimes obtain the rights to land owned by third parties and governmental agencies for a specific period of time. Our loss of these rights, through our inability to renew right-of-way contracts, leases or otherwise, could cause us to cease operations on the affected land, increase costs related to continuing operations elsewhere, and reduce our revenue.

We may be unable to cause our majority-owned joint ventures to take or not to take certain actions unless some or all of our joint venture participants agree.

We participate in several majority-owned joint ventures whose corporate governance structures require at least a majority in interest vote to authorize many basic activities and require a greater voting interest (sometimes up to 100%) to authorize more significant activities. Examples of these more significant activities are large expenditures or contractual commitments, the construction or acquisition of assets, borrowing money or otherwise raising capital, making distributions, transactions with affiliates of a joint venture participant, litigation and transactions not in the ordinary course of business, among others. Without the concurrence of joint venture participants with enough voting interests, we may be unable to cause any of our joint ventures to take or not take certain actions, even though taking or preventing those actions may be in the best interest of us or the particular joint venture.

In addition, subject to certain conditions, any joint venture owner may sell, transfer or otherwise modify its ownership interest in a joint venture, whether in a transaction involving third parties or the other joint owners. Any such transaction could result in our partnering with different or additional parties.

If we lose our senior management or key business line personnel, our business may be adversely affected.

Our success is dependent upon the efforts of our senior management, as well as on our ability to attract and retain senior management. There is substantial competition for qualified personnel in the midstream natural gas

industry. We may not be able to retain our existing senior management, fill new positions or vacancies created by expansion or turnover, or attract additional qualified senior management personnel. We have not entered into employment agreements with any of our key executive officers. In addition, we do not maintain “key man” life insurance on the lives of any members of our senior management. A loss of one or more of these key people could harm our business and prevent us from implementing our business strategy.

Weather may limit our ability to operate our business and could adversely affect our operating results.

The weather in the areas in which we operate can cause delays in our operations and, in some cases, work stoppages. For example, natural gas sales volumes for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 were negatively impacted by unseasonably wet weather, which limited our ability to complete connections to new wells. Any similar delays or work stoppages caused by the weather could adversely affect our operating results for the affected periods.

Our business involves many hazards and operational risks, some of which may not be fully covered by insurance. If a significant accident or event occurs that is not fully insured, if we fail to recover all anticipated insurance proceeds for significant accidents or events for which we are insured, or if we fail to rebuild facilities damaged by such accidents or events, our operations and financial results could be adversely affected.

Our operations are subject to many hazards inherent in the gathering, compressing, treating, processing and transport ting of natural gas and the fractionation, storage and transportation of NGLs, including:

These risks could result in substantial losses due to personal injury and/or loss of life, severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment and pollution or other environmental damage and may result in curtailment or suspension of our related operations. A natural disaster or other hazard affecting the areas in which we operate could have a material adverse effect on our operations. For example, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita damaged gathering systems, processing facilities, NGL fractionators and pipelines along the Gulf Coast, including certain of our facilities. These hurricanes disrupted the operations of our customers in August and September 2005, which curtailed or suspended the operations of various energy companies with assets in the region. The size and complexity of insurance claims associated with these storms resulted in longer than anticipated delays in some recoveries of insurance proceeds and these delays and any ultimate failure to recover insurance proceeds could adversely affect our financial results. We are not fully insured against all risks inherent to our business. We are not insured against all environmental accidents that might occur which may include toxic tort claims, other than those considered to be sudden and accidental. If a significant accident or event occurs that is not fully insured, if we fail to recover all anticipated insurance proceeds for significant accidents or events for which we are insured, or if we fail to rebuild facilities damaged by such accidents or events, our operations and financial condition could be adversely affected. In addition, we may not be able to maintain or obtain insurance of the type and amount we desire at reasonable rates. As a result of market conditions, premiums and deductibles for certain of our insurance policies have increased substantially, and could escalate further. For example, following Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, insurance premiums, deductibles and co-insurance requirements increased substantially, and terms generally are less favorable than terms that could be obtained prior to such hurricanes. In some instances, certain insurance could become unavailable or available only for reduced amounts of coverage.

Terrorist attacks, and the threat of terrorist attacks, have resulted in increased costs to our business. Continued hostilities in the Middle East or other sustained military campaigns may adversely impact our results of operations.

The long-term impact of terrorist attacks, such as the attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, and the threat of future terrorist attacks on our industry in general, and on us in particular, is not known at this time.

Increased security measures taken by us as a precaution against possible terrorist attacks have resulted in increased costs to our business. Uncertainty surrounding continued hostilities in the Middle East or other sustained military campaigns may affect our operations in unpredictable ways, including disruptions of crude oil supplies and markets for our products, and the possibility that infrastructure facilities could be direct targets of, or indirect casualties of, an act of terror.

Changes in the insurance markets attributable to terrorist attacks may make certain types of insurance more difficult for us to obtain. Moreover, the insurance that may be available to us may be significantly more expensive than our existing insurance coverage. Instability in the financial markets as a result of terrorism or war could also affect our ability to raise capital.

A change in the jurisdictional characterization of some of our assets by federal, state or local regulatory agencies or a change in policy by those agencies may result in increased regulation of our assets, which may cause our revenues to decline and operating expenses to increase.

With the exception of our interest in Venice Gathering System, L.L.C., or VGS, we are generally exempt from Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, regulation under the Natural Gas Act of 1938, or NGA, but FERC regulation still affects our businesses and the markets for products derived from those businesses. FERC has recently proposed to require intrastate pipelines, possibly including natural gas gathering pipelines, to comply with certain Internet posting requirements, with the goal of promoting transparency in the interstate natural gas market. FERC has not yet issued a final rule on that proposed rulemaking. We may experience an increase in costs if the rule is adopted as proposed.

Other FERC regulations may indirectly impact our businesses and the markets for products derived from these businesses. FERC’s policies and practices across the range of its natural gas regulatory activities, including, for example, its policies on open access transportation, gas quality, ratemaking, capacity release and market center promotion, may indirectly affect the intrastate natural gas market. In recent years, FERC has pursued pro-competitive policies in its regulation of interstate natural gas pipelines. However, we cannot assure you that FERC will continue this approach as it considers matters such as pipeline rates and rules and policies that may affect rights of access to transportation capacity.

Section 1(b) of the NGA exempts natural gas gathering facilities from regulation by FERC as a natural gas company under the NGA. We believe that the natural gas pipelines in our gathering systems meet the traditional tests FERC has used to establish a pipeline’s status as a gatherer not subject to regulation as a natural gas company. However, the distinction between FERC-regulated transmission services and federally unregulated gathering services is the subject of substantial, on-going litigation, so the classification and regulation of our gathering facilities are subject to change based on future determinations by FERC, the courts, or Congress. In addition, the courts have determined that certain pipelines that would otherwise be subject to the Interstate Commerce Act of 1887, or ICA, are exempt from regulation by the FERC under the ICA as proprietary lines. The classification of a line as a proprietary line is a fact-based determination subject to FERC and court review. Accordingly, the classification and regulation of some of our gathering facilities and transportation pipelines may be subject to change based on future determinations by FERC, the courts, or Congress.

Should we fail to comply with all applicable FERC administered statutes, rules, regulations and orders, we could be subject to substantial penalties and fines. Under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, or EPAct 2005, FERC has civil penalty authority under the NGA to impose penalties for current violations of up to $1 million per day for each violation and disgorgement of profits associated with any violation.

State regulation of natural gas gathering facilities and intrastate transportation pipelines generally includes various safety, environmental and, in some circumstances, nondiscriminatory take and common purchaser requirements, and complaint-based rate regulation. Natural gas gathering may receive greater regulatory scrutiny at both the state and federal levels now that FERC has taken a more light-handed approach to regulation of the gathering activities of interstate pipeline transmission companies and as a number of such companies have transferred gathering facilities to unregulated affiliates. The states we operate in have adopted regulations that generally allow natural gas producers and shippers to file complaints with state regulators in an effort to resolve grievances relating to gathering and intrastate transportation pipeline access and rate discrimination. Our gathering and intrastate transportation operations could be adversely affected in the future should they become subject to the application of state or federal regulation of rates and services. These operations may also be or become subject to safety and operational regulations relating to the design, installation, testing, construction, operation, replacement and management of such facilities. Other state regulations may not directly apply to our business, but may nonetheless affect the availability of natural gas for purchase, processing and sale, including state regulation of production rates and maximum daily production allowables from natural gas wells. Additional rules and legislation pertaining to these matters are considered or adopted from time to time. We cannot predict what effect, if any, such changes might have on our operations, but the industry could be required to incur additional capital expenditures and increased costs depending on future legislative and regulatory changes. Other state and local regulations also may affect our business. For more information regarding regulation of Targa’s operations, please read “Business—Regulation.”

We may incur significant costs and liabilities in the future resulting from a failure to comply with new or existing environmental regulations or an accidental release of hazardous substances or hydrocarbons into the environment.

Our natural gas gathering, treating, fractionating and processing operations are subject to stringent and complex federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relating to environmental protection. These laws include, for example, (1) the federal Clean Air Act and comparable state laws that impose obligations related to air emissions, (2) the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, or RCRA, and comparable state laws that impose requirements for the handling, storage, treatment or disposal of solid and hazardous waste from our facilities, (3) the federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, or CERCLA, also known as “Superfund,” and comparable state laws that regulate the cleanup of hazardous substances that may have been released at properties currently or previously owned or operated by us or at locations to which our wastes have been transported for disposal, and (4) the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also know as the Clean Water Act, and comparable state laws that regulate discharges of wastewater from our facilities to state and federal waters. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations or newly adopted laws or regulations may trigger a variety of administrative, civil and criminal enforcement measures, including the assessment of monetary penalties, the imposition of remedial requirements, and the issuance of orders enjoining future operations or imposing additional compliance requirements on such operations. Certain environmental laws, including CERCLA and analogous state laws, impose strict, joint and several liability for costs required to clean up and restore sites where hazardous substances or hydrocarbons have been disposed or otherwise released. Moreover, it is not uncommon for neighboring landowners and other third parties to file claims for personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by the release of hazardous substances, hydrocarbons or other waste products into the environment.

There is inherent risk of incurring environmental costs and liabilities in connection with our operations due to our handling of natural gas and other petroleum products, air emissions and water discharges related to our operations, and historical industry operations and waste disposal practices. For example, an accidental release from one of our facilities could subject us to substantial liabilities arising from environmental cleanup and restoration costs, claims made by neighboring landowners and other third parties for personal injury and property damage and fines or penalties for related violations of environmental laws or regulations. Moreover, the possibility exists that stricter laws, regulations or enforcement policies could significantly increase our

21

operational or compliance costs and the cost of any remediation that may become necessary. In particular, we may incur expenditures in order to maintain compliance with legal requirements governing emissions of air pollutants from our facilities. We may not be able to recover all or any of these costs from insurance. Please see “Business—Environmental and Other Matters” for more information.

We may incur significant costs and liabilities resulting from pipeline integrity programs and related repairs.

Pursuant to the Pipeline Safety Improvement Act of 2002, the United States Department of Transportation, or DOT, has adopted regulations requiring pipeline operators to develop integrity management programs for transmission pipelines located where a leak or rupture could do the most harm in “high consequence areas,” including high population areas, areas that are sources of drinking water, ecological resource areas that are unusually sensitive to environmental damage from a pipeline release and commercially navigable waterways, unless the operator effectively demonstrates by risk assessment that the pipeline could not affect the area. The regulations require operators of covered pipelines to:

We currently estimate that we will incur an aggregate cost of approximately $10.2 million for years 2007 through 2009 to implement necessary pipeline integrity management program testing along certain segments of our natural gas and NGL pipelines required by existing DOT and state regulations. This estimate does not include the costs, if any, of any repair, remediation, preventative or mitigating actions that may be determined to be necessary as a result of the testing program, which costs could be substantial. At this time, we cannot predict the ultimate cost of compliance with this regulation, as the cost will vary significantly depending on the number and extent of any repairs found to be necessary as a result of the pipeline integrity testing. Following this initial round of testing and repairs, we will continue our pipeline integrity testing programs to assess and maintain the integrity or our pipelines. The results of these tests could cause us to incur significant and unanticipated capital and operating expenditures for repairs or upgrades deemed necessary to ensure the continued safe and reliable operations of our pipelines.

We are controlled by a major stockholder, whose interests may conflict with the interests of the holders of the notes.

Warburg Pincus beneficially owns approximately 74% of the outstanding voting stock of our parent. Warburg Pincus is able to elect members of our board of directors, appoint new management and approve any action requiring the approval of our stockholders, including amendment of our certificate of incorporation and mergers or sales of substantially all of our assets. The directors elected by Warburg Pincus will be able to make decisions affecting our capital structure, including decisions to issue additional capital stock, implement stock repurchase programs and declare dividends. Our interests and the interests of our affiliates could conflict with your interests. For example, if we encounter financial difficulties or are unable to pay our debts as they mature, the interests of our equity holders might conflict with your interests as a note holder. In addition, our equity holders may have an interest in pursuing acquisitions, divestitures, financings or other transactions that, in their judgment, could enhance their equity investments, even though such transactions might involve risks to you as a holder of the notes. Furthermore, Warburg Pincus may in the future own businesses that directly compete with our business. In addition, the indenture governing the notes contains significant exceptions to the covenant governing transactions with affiliates, including an exception for permitted investments, which would allow such investments in entities controlled by Warburg Pincus without any restriction. None of our stockholders has any obligation to provide us with any additional debt or equity financing.

If we fail to develop or maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or prevent fraud. In addition, potential changes in accounting standards might cause us to revise our financial results and disclosure in the future.

Effective internal controls are necessary for us to provide timely and reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud. If we cannot provide timely and reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results would be harmed. We continue to enhance our internal controls and financial reporting capabilities. These enhancements will require a significant commitment of additional resources, hiring additional personnel and developing formalized internal reporting procedures to ensure the reliability of our financial reporting. Our efforts to update and maintain our internal controls may not be successful, and we may be unable to maintain adequate controls over our financial processes and reporting in the future, including future compliance with the obligations under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Any failure to develop or maintain effective controls, or difficulties encountered in their implementation or other effective improvement of our internal controls could prevent us from timely and reliably reporting our financial results and may harm our operating results. Ineffective internal controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information. In addition, the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the SEC could enact new accounting standards that might impact how we are required to record revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities. Any significant change in accounting standards or disclosure requirements could have a material effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay our note holders.
