KINDER MORGAN, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. General

Organization

On February 10, 2011, we converted from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation and we changed our name from Kinder Morgan Holdco LLC to Kinder Morgan, Inc. Our subsidiary formerly known as Kinder Morgan, Inc. was renamed Kinder Morgan Kansas, Inc., and is referred to in these financial statements for all periods as Kinder Morgan Kansas, Inc. On February 16, 2011, we completed the initial public offering of our common stock (the offering). All of the common stock that was sold in the offering was sold by our existing investors consisting of funds advised by or affiliated with Goldman Sachs & Co., Highstar Capital LP, The Carlyle Group and Riverstone Holdings LLC. No members of management sold shares in the offering and we did not receive any proceeds from the offering. Our common stock trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “KMI.” For additional information on the offering, see Note 5 “Stockholders’ Equity—Initial Public Offering.”

We own the general partner and approximately 11% of the limited partner interests of Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, L.P., referred to in this report as KMP. KMP is a publicly traded pipeline limited partnership whose limited partner units are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “KMP.” Primarily through KMP, we operate or own an interest in approximately 38,000 miles of pipelines and approximately 180 terminals. These pipelines transport natural gas, gasoline, crude oil, carbon dioxide and other products, and these terminals store petroleum products, chemicals and handle bulk materials such as coal and petroleum coke. Unless the context requires otherwise, references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “KMI,” or the “Company” are intended to mean Kinder Morgan, Inc. and our consolidated subsidiaries including Kinder Morgan Kansas, Inc. and KMP.

Kinder Morgan Management, LLC, referred to in this report as “KMR,” is a publicly traded Delaware limited liability company. Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc., the general partner of KMP and a wholly owned subsidiary of ours, owns all of KMR’s voting shares. KMR, pursuant to a delegation of control agreement, has been delegated, to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and KMP’s partnership agreement, all of Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc.’s power and authority to manage and control the business and affairs of KMP, subject to Kinder Morgan G.P., Inc.’s right to approve certain transactions.

On May 30, 2007, we acquired Kinder Morgan Kansas, Inc. through a wholly owned subsidiary. See Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010 (2010 Form 10-K). This transaction is referred to in this report as “the Going Private transaction.” Effective with the closing of the Going Private transaction, all of our assets and liabilities were recorded at their estimated fair market values based on an allocation of the aggregate purchase price paid in the Going Private transaction.

Basis of Presentation

We have prepared our accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements under the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. These rules and regulations conform to the accounting principles contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification, the single source of generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and referred to in this report as the Codification. Under such rules and regulations, we have condensed or omitted certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with the Codification. We believe, however, that our disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

In addition, our consolidated financial statements reflect normal adjustments, and also recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of our management, necessary for a fair statement of our financial results for the interim periods, and certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year; accordingly, you should read these consolidated financial statements in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2010 Form 10-K.

Our accounting records are maintained in United States dollars, and all references to dollars are United States dollars, except where stated otherwise. Canadian dollars are designated as C$. Our consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries as well as the accounts of KMP and KMR. Investments in jointly owned operations in which we hold a 50% or less interest (other than KMP and KMR, because we have the ability to exercise significant control over their operating and financial policies) are accounted for under the equity method. All

Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

Notwithstanding the consolidation of KMP and its subsidiaries into our financial statements, we are not liable for, and our assets are not available to satisfy, the obligations of KMP and/or its subsidiaries and vice versa, except as discussed in the following paragraph. Responsibility for payments of obligations reflected in our or KMP’s financial statements is a legal determination based on the entity that incurs the liability.

In conjunction with KMP’s acquisition of certain natural gas pipelines from us, we agreed to indemnify KMP with respect to approximately $733.5 million of its debt. We would be obligated to perform under this indemnity only if KMP’s assets were unable to satisfy its obligations.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method. Earnings are allocated to each class of common stock based on the amount of dividends declared in the current period for each class of stock plus an allocation of the undistributed earnings to the extent that each security shares in earnings. For the investor retained stock the allocation of undistributed earnings is in direct proportion to the maximum number of Class P shares into which it can convert.

For the Class P diluted per share computations, total net income attributable to Kinder Morgan, Inc. is divided by the adjusted weighted average shares outstanding during the period, including all dilutive potential shares. This includes the Class P shares into which the investor retained stock is convertible. Investor retained stock is convertible into 596,102,672 Class P shares. Thus, the number of Class P shares on a fully-converted basis is the same before and after any conversion of our investor retained stock. Each time one Class P share is issued upon conversion of investor retained stock, the number of Class P shares goes up by one, and the number of Class P shares into which the investor retained stock is convertible goes down by one. Accordingly, there is no difference between Class P basic and diluted earnings per share because the conversion of Class A, Class B, and Class C shares into Class P shares does not impact the number of Class P shares on a fully-converted basis. As no securities are convertible into Class A shares, the basic and diluted earnings per share computations for Class A shares are the same.

The following tables set forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended June 30, 2011 and the period February 11, 2011 (the date of our initial public offering) through June 30, 2011 (in millions, except per share amounts):

____________

(a)	Participating securities include Class B shares, Class C shares, and unvested restricted stock awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends.
(b)	The Class A shares earnings per share as compared to the Class P shares earnings per share has been reduced due to the sharing of economic benefits (including dividends) amongst the Class A, B, and C shares. Class A, B and C shares are owned by Richard Kinder, the Sponsor Investors, the Original Shareholders, and Other Management, are referred to as “investor retained stock,” and are convertible into a fixed number of Class P shares. In the aggregate, our investor retained stock is entitled to receive a dividend per share on a full converted basis equal to the dividend per share on our common stock. The conversion of shares of investor retained stock into Class P shares will not increase our total fully-converted shares outstanding, impact the aggregate dividends we pay or the dividends we pay per share on our Class P common stock.
(c)	For the diluted earnings per share calculation, total net income attributable to each class of common stock is divided by the adjusted weighted average shares outstanding during the period, including all dilutive potential shares.
(d)	The weighted average shares outstanding calculation is based on the actual days in which the shares were outstanding for the period from February 11, 2011 to June 30, 2011.

NGPL PipeCo LLC Investment Impairment Charge

On November 19, 2009, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) initiated an investigation, pursuant to Section 5 of the Natural Gas Act, into the justness and reasonableness of the transportation and storage rates as well as the fuel and natural gas lost percentages of NGPL PipeCo LLC’s subsidiary, Natural Gas Pipeline Company of America LLC, referred to as “NGPL.” NGPL reached a settlement in principal with the FERC on April 22, 2010. On June 11, 2010, NGPL filed an offer of settlement, which was approved without modification by the FERC on July 29, 2010. The order approving the settlement has become final and nonappealable. The settlement resolved all issues in the proceeding. The settlement provided that NGPL reduce its fuel and gas lost and unaccounted for, (GL&U), retention factors as of July 1, 2010. The settlement further provided a timeline for additional prospective fuel and GL&U reductions and prospective reductions in the maximum recourse reservation rates that it bills firm transportation and storage shippers.

Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

The events discussed above caused us to reconsider the carrying value of our investment in NGPL PipeCo LLC as of March 31, 2010. A current fair value of an investment that is less than its carrying amount may indicate a loss in value of the investment. The fair value represents the price that would be received to sell the investment in an orderly transaction between market participants. We determined the fair value of our investment in NGPL PipeCo LLC by taking the total fair value of NGPL PipeCo LLC (calculated as discussed below) deducting the fair value of the joint venture debt and multiplying by our 20% ownership interest. We calculated the total fair value of NGPL PipeCo LLC from the present value of the expected future after-tax cash flows of the reporting unit, inclusive of a terminal value, which implies a market multiple of approximately 9.5 times EBITDA (earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization) discounted at a rate of 7.4%. The result of our analysis showed that the fair value of our investment in NGPL PipeCo LLC was less than our carrying value. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized a $430.0 million, pre-tax, non-cash impairment charge included in the caption “Earnings (loss) from equity investments” in our accompanying consolidated statement of income.

Acquisitions

Watco Companies, LLC

On January 3, 2011, KMP purchased 50,000 Class A preferred shares of Watco Companies, LLC for $50.0 million in cash in a private transaction. In connection with its purchase of these preferred shares, the most senior equity security of Watco, KMP entered into a limited liability company agreement with Watco that provides KMP certain priority and participating cash distribution and liquidation rights. Pursuant to the agreement, KMP receives priority, cumulative cash distributions from the preferred shares at a rate of 3.25% per quarter, and it participates partially in additional profit distributions at a rate equal to 0.5%. The preferred shares have no conversion features and hold no voting powers, but do provide KMP certain approval rights, including the right to appoint one of the members to Watco’s Board of Managers. As of December 31, 2010, KMP placed its $50.0 million investment in a cash escrow account and this balance was included within “Restricted Deposits” on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of June 30, 2011, KMP’s net equity investment in Watco totaled $51.6 million and is included within “Investments” on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet. We account for this investment under the equity method of accounting, and we include it in the Terminals–KMP business segment.

Watco Companies, LLC is a privately owned, Pittsburg, Kansas based transportation company that was formed in 1983. It is the largest privately held short line railroad company in the United States, operating 22 short line railroads on approximately 3,500 miles of leased and owned track. It also operates transload/intermodal and mechanical services divisions. KMP’s investment provides capital to Watco for further expansion of specific projects, complements KMP’s existing terminal network, provides its customers more transportation services for many of the commodities that it currently handles, and offers it the opportunity to share in additional growth opportunities through new projects.

Deeprock North, LLC

On February 17, 2011, Deeprock Energy Resources, LLC, Mecuria Energy Trading, Inc., and KMP’s subsidiary Kinder Morgan Cushing LLC entered into formal agreements for a crude oil storage joint venture located in Cushing, Oklahoma. On this date, KMP contributed $15.9 million for a 50% ownership interest in an existing crude oil tank farm that has storage capacity of one million barrels, and it expects to invest an additional $8.8 million for the construction of three new storage tanks that will provide incremental storage capacity of 750,000 barrels. The new tanks are expected to be placed in service during the fourth quarter of 2011. The joint venture is named Deeprock North, LLC. Deeprock Energy owns a 12.02% member interest in Deeprock North, LLC and will remain construction manager and operator of the joint venture. Mecuria owns the remaining 37.98% member interest and will remain the anchor tenant for the joint venture’s crude oil capacity for the next five years with an option to extend. In addition, KMP entered into a development agreement with Deeprock Energy that gives it an option to participate in future expansions on Deeprock’s remaining 254 acres of undeveloped land.

We account for this investment under the equity method of accounting, and this investment and KMP’s pro rata share of Deeprock North LLC’s operating results are included as part of the Terminals–KMP business segment. As of June 30, 2011, KMP’s net equity investment in Deeprock North, LLC totaled $20.6 million and is included within “Investments” on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

TGS Development, L.P. Terminal Acquisition

On June 10, 2011, KMP acquired a newly constructed petroleum coke terminal located in Port Arthur, Texas from TGS Development, L.P. (TGSD) for an aggregate consideration of $74.1 million, consisting of $42.9 million in cash,

Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

$23.7 million in common units, and an obligation to pay additional consideration of $7.5 million. KMP estimates the remaining $7.5 million obligation will be paid to TGSD approximately one year from the closing (in May or June 2012), and will be settled in a combination of cash and common units, depending on TGSD’s election.

All of the acquired assets are located in Port Arthur, Texas, and include long-term contracts to provide petroleum coke handling and cutting services to improve the refining of heavy crude oil at Total Petrochemicals USA Inc.’s recently expanded Port Arthur refinery. The refinery is expected to produce more than one million tons of petroleum coke annually. Based on the measurement of fair values for all of the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, we preliminarily assigned $42.6 million of the combined purchase price to “Property, plant and equipment, net,” and the remaining $31.5 million to “Other Intangibles, net,” representing the combined fair values of two separate intangible customer contracts with Total. The acquisition complements KMP’s existing Gulf Coast bulk terminal facilities and expands its pre-existing petroleum coke handling operations. All of the acquired assets are included as part of the Terminals-KMP business segment.

Pro Forma Information

Pro forma consolidated income statement information that gives effect to all of the acquisitions we have made and all of the joint ventures we have entered into since January 1, 2010 as if they had occurred as of January 1, 2010 is not presented because it would not be materially different from the information presented in our accompanying consolidated statements of income.

Acquisitions Subsequent to June 30, 2011

Effective July 1, 2011, KMP acquired from Petrohawk Energy Corporation both the remaining 50% equity ownership interest in KinderHawk Field Services LLC that it did not already own and a 25% equity ownership interest in Petrohawk’s natural gas gathering and treating business located in the Eagle Ford shale formation in South Texas for an aggregate consideration of $911.9 million, consisting of $834.9 million in cash (consisting of $836.2 million in cash paid, offset by $1.3 million in cash acquired) and assumed debt of $77.0 million. KMP then repaid the outstanding $154.0 million of borrowings under KinderHawk’s bank credit facility, and following this repayment, KinderHawk had no outstanding debt.

KinderHawk Field Services LLC owns and operates the largest natural gas gathering and midstream business in the Haynesville shale formation located in northwest Louisiana, consisting of more than 400 miles of pipeline with over 2.0 billion cubic feet per day of pipeline capacity. Currently, it gathers approximately 1.0 billion cubic feet of natural gas per day; however, it is expected to gather approximately 1.2 billion cubic feet per day by the end of 2011. KMP operates KinderHawk Field Services LLC, and acquired its original 50% ownership interest in KinderHawk Field Services LLC on May 21, 2010.

Following the acquisition of the remaining ownership interest on July 1, 2011, KMP made the change in accounting for its investment from the equity method to full consolidation. In the third quarter of 2011, KMP will measure the identifiable tangible and intangible assets and liabilities assumed at fair value on the acquisition date and, based on its expected measurement of fair values and the consideration transferred to Petrohawk for its remaining 50% ownership interest (discussed above), KMP expects to recognize an approximate $170 million non-cash loss related to the remeasurement of the previously held 50% equity interest in KinderHawk to fair value.

The Eagle Ford natural gas gathering joint venture is named EagleHawk Field Services LLC, and we will account for KMP’s 25% investment under the equity method of accounting. Petrohawk will operate EagleHawk Field Services LLC and will own the remaining 75% ownership interest. The joint venture will own two midstream gathering systems in and around Petrohawk’s Hawkville and Black Hawk areas of Eagle Ford and combined, the joint venture’s assets will consist of more than 280 miles of gas gathering pipelines and approximately 140 miles of condensate lines to be in service by the end of 2011. It will also have a life of lease dedication of Petrohawk’s Eagle Ford reserves that will provide Petrohawk and other Eagle Ford producers with gas and condensate gathering, treating and condensate stabilization services.

The acquisition of the remaining ownership interest in KinderHawk and the equity ownership interest in EagleHawk complements and expands KMP’s existing natural gas gathering operations, and all of the acquired assets will be included in the Natural Gas Pipelines-KMP business segment. Additionally, on July 14, 2011, mining and oil company BHP Billiton and Petrohawk Energy Corporation announced that the companies have entered into a definitive agreement for BHP Billiton to acquire Petrohawk by means of an all-cash tender offer for all of the issued and outstanding shares of Petrohawk. If the transaction closes, the terms of KMP’s contracts with Petrohawk would not be affected.

Divestitures

Megafleet Towing Co., Inc. Assets

On February 9, 2011, KMP sold a marine vessel to Kirby Inland Marine, L.P., and additionally, KMP and Kirby formed a joint venture named Greens Bayou Fleeting, LLC. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, KMP sold its ownership interest in the boat fleeting business it acquired from Megafleet Towing Co., Inc. in April 2009 to the joint venture for $4.1 million in cash and a 49% ownership interest in the joint venture. Kirby then made cash contributions to the joint venture in exchange for the remaining 51% ownership interest. Related to the above transactions, we recorded a loss of $5.5 million ($4.1 million after tax) in the fourth quarter of 2010 to write down the carrying value of the net assets to be sold to their estimated fair values as of December 31, 2010.

In the first quarter of 2011, after final reconciliation and measurement of all of the net assets sold, we recognized a combined $2.2 million increase in income from the sale of these net assets, primarily consisting of a $1.9 million reduction in income tax expense, which is included within the caption “Income Tax (Expense) Benefit” in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2011. Additionally, the sale of KMP’s ownership interest resulted in a $10.6 million non-cash reduction in goodwill (see Note 3), and was a transaction with a related party (see Note 9). Information about KMP’s acquisition of assets from Megafleet Towing Co., Inc. is described more fully in Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements included in our 2010 Form 10-K.

River Consulting, LLC and Devco USA L.L.C.

Effective April 1, 2011, KMP sold 51% ownership interests in two separate wholly-owned subsidiaries to two separate buyers, for an aggregate consideration of $8.1 million, consisting of a $4.1 million note receivable, $1.0 million in cash and a $3.0 million receivable for the settlement of working capital items. Following the sale, KMP continues to own 49% membership interests in both River Consulting LLC, a company engaged in the business of providing engineering, consulting and management services, and Devco USA L.L.C., a company engaged in the business of processing, handling and marketing sulfur, and selling related pouring equipment. At the time of the sale, the combined carrying value of the net assets (and members’ capital on a 100% basis) of both entities totaled approximately $8.8 million and consisted mostly of technology-based assets and trade receivables. We now account for these retained investments under the equity method of accounting.

In the second quarter of 2011, we recognized a $3.6 million pre-tax gain from the sale of these ownership interests (including a $2.1 million gain related to the remeasurement of the retained investment to fair value) and included this gain within the caption “Other, net” in our accompanying consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011. We also recognized a $1.4 million increase in income tax expense related to this gain, which is included within the caption “Income Tax (Expense) Benefit” in our accompanying consolidated statement of income for the six months ended June 30, 2011.

3. Intangibles

Goodwill

We evaluate goodwill for impairment on May 31 of each year. For this purpose, we have six reporting units as follows: (i) Products Pipelines–KMP (excluding associated terminals); (ii) Products Pipelines Terminals–KMP (evaluated separately from Products Pipelines–KMP for goodwill purposes, but combined with Products Pipelines–KMP for presentation in the table below); (iii) Natural Gas Pipelines–KMP; (iv) CO2–KMP; (v) Terminals–KMP; and (vi) Kinder Morgan Canada–KMP. There were no impairment charges resulting from our May 31, 2011 impairment testing, and no event indicating an impairment has occurred previous or subsequent to that date.

The fair value of each reporting unit was determined from the present value of the expected future cash flows from the applicable reporting unit (inclusive of a terminal value calculated using market multiples between six and ten times cash flows) discounted at a rate of 8.0%. The value of each reporting unit was determined on a stand-alone basis from the perspective of a market participant and represented the price that would be received to sell the unit as a whole in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Changes in the gross amounts of our goodwill and accumulated impairment losses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 are summarized as follows (in millions):

Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

__________

(a)	2011 disposal related to the sale of KMP’s ownership interest in the boat fleeting business it acquired from Megafleet Towing Co., Inc. in April 2009 (discussed further in Note 2.)

In addition, we identify any premium or excess cost we pay over our proportionate share of the underlying fair value of net assets acquired and accounted for as investments under the equity method of accounting. This premium or excess cost is referred to as equity method goodwill and is also not subject to amortization but rather to impairment testing. For all investments we own containing equity method goodwill, no event or change in circumstances that may have a significant adverse effect on the fair value of our equity investments has occurred during the first six months of 2011. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, we reported $286.9 million and $283.0 million, respectively, in equity method goodwill within the caption “Investments” in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Other Intangibles

Excluding goodwill, our other intangible assets include customer relationships, contracts and agreements, technology-based assets, and lease value. These intangible assets have definite lives and are reported separately as “Other intangibles, net” in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Following is information related to our intangible assets subject to amortization (in millions):

	June 30, 2011			December 31, 2010
Customer relationships, contracts and agreements
Gross carrying amount	$	455.2		$	424.7
Accumulated amortization		(121.3	)		(99.9	)
Net carrying amount		333.9			324.8

Technology-based assets, lease value and other
Gross carrying amount		9.0			16.3
Accumulated amortization		(2.1	)		(1.9	)
Net carrying amount		6.9			14.4

Total other intangibles, net	$	340.8		$	339.2

The increase in the carrying amount of the customer relationships, contacts and agreements since December 31, 2010 was mainly due to the acquisition of intangibles included in KMP’s June 2011 purchase of terminal assets from TGS Development, L.P., discussed in Note 2.

We amortize the costs of our intangible assets to expense in a systematic and rational manner over their estimated useful lives. Among the factors we weigh, depending on the nature of the asset, are the effects of obsolescence, new technology, and competition. For the three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the amortization expense on our intangibles totaled $10.7 million and $12.1 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010, the amortization expense on our intangibles totaled $21.6 million and $24.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, the weighted average amortization period for our intangible assets was approximately 13.1 years, and our estimated amortization expense for these assets for each of the next five fiscal years (2012 – 2016) is approximately $37.4 million, $33.5 million, $30.4 million, $27.6 million and $24.7 million, respectively.

4. Debt

We classify our debt based on the contractual maturity dates of the underlying debt instruments. We defer costs associated with debt issuance over the applicable term. These costs are then amortized as interest expense in our

Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

consolidated statements of income.

KMI’s debt balances included in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets (including both short-term and long-term amounts, the preferred interest in the general partner of KMP and purchase accounting adjustments on the carrying value of KMI’s debt and KMP’s debt, but excluding the value of interest rate swap agreements) as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $3,278.9 million and $3,630.1 million (including the $750.0 million of 5.35% Kinder Morgan Finance Company LLC’s senior notes paid on January 5, 2011), respectively. These balances included net unamortized purchase accounting adjustments, decreasing the debt balances by $35.3 million and $37.5 million at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of KMI and its subsidiaries’ borrowings (both short-term and long-term but excluding KMP and its subsidiaries) was approximately 4.94% during the second quarter of 2011 and 4.96% during the second quarter of 2010. For the first six months of 2011 and 2010, the weighted average rate on all of KMI’s borrowings was approximately 4.93% and 4.95%, respectively. KMP’s debt balances included in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets (including both short-term and long-term amounts and excluding the value of interest rate swap agreements) as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 was $11,406.9 million and $11,539.8 million, respectively. The weighted average interest rate on all of KMP’s and its subsidiaries’ borrowings (both short-term and long-term) was approximately 4.29% during the second quarter of 2011 and approximately 4.33% during the second quarter of 2010. For the first six months of 2011 and 2010, the weighted average interest rate on all of KMP’s borrowings was approximately 4.36% and 4.33%, respectively.

As of June 30, 2011, KMI’s short-term debt was $398.7 million, which consisted of (i) $396.5 million of borrowings under KMI’s credit facility and (ii) a $2.2 million current portion of purchase accounting adjustments on our carrying value of KMP’s debt. As of June 30, 2011, KMP’s short-term debt balance included in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets was $991.3 million, which consisted of (i) $500.0 million in principal amount of KMP’s 9.00% senior notes due February 1, 2019, that may be repurchased by KMP at the option of the holder on February 1, 2012 pursuant to certain repurchase provisions contained in the bond indenture; (ii) $450.0 million in principal amount of KMP’s 7.125% senior notes due March 15, 2012 (including discount, KMP’s carrying amount of the notes was $449.9 million as of June 30, 2011); (iii) $23.7 million in principal amount of tax-exempt bonds that mature on April 1, 2024, that are due on demand pursuant to certain standby purchase agreement provisions contained in the bond indenture (KMP’s subsidiary Kinder Morgan Operating L.P. “B” is the obligor on the bonds); (iv) a $9.6 million portion of a 5.40% long-term note payable (KMP’s subsidiaries Kinder Morgan Operating L.P. “A” and Kinder Morgan Canada Company are the obligors on the note); (v) a $7.4 million portion of 5.23% long-term senior notes (KMP’s subsidiary Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline, L.P. is the obligor on the notes); and (vi) a $0.7 million portion of 6.00% long-term note payable (KMP’s subsidiary Kinder Morgan Arrow Terminals, L.P. is the obligor on the note).

(a)	The average short-term debt outstanding (and related weighted average interest rate) was $331.6 million (1.62%) and $367.5 million (1.58%) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.
(b)	The average short-term debt outstanding (and related weighted average interest rate) was $345.4 million (0.34%) and $397.6 million (0.44%) during the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

As of June 30, 2011, the amount available for borrowing under the KMI $1.0 billion six-year senior secured credit facility was reduced by a combined amount of $437.1 million consisting of $396.5 million in borrowings under the credit facility and $40.6 million in four letters of credit required under provisions of our property and casualty, workers’ compensation and general liability insurance policies.

As of June 30, 2011, KMP’s $2.0 billion three-year, senior unsecured revolving credit facility had a maturity date of June 23, 2013 and could be amended to allow for borrowings of up to $2.3 billion. On July 1, 2011, KMP amended the credit facility to, among other things, increase the available borrowings and extend the maturity date (see “—Subsequent

Event” following). The credit facility is with a syndicate of financial institutions, and the facility permits KMP to obtain bids for fixed rate loans from members of the lending syndicate. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association is the

Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

administrative agent, and borrowings under the credit facility can be used for KMP’s general partnership purposes and as a backup for its commercial paper program. There were no borrowings under the credit facility as of June 30, 2011 or as of December 31, 2010.

As of June 30, 2011, the amount available for borrowing under KMP’s credit facility was reduced by an aggregate amount of $231.5 million, consisting of the following letters of credit: (i) a $100.0 million letter of credit that supports certain proceedings with the California Public Utilities Commission involving refined products tariff charges on the intrastate common carrier operations of KMP’s Pacific operations’ pipelines in the state of California; (ii) a combined $87.9 million in three letters of credit that support tax-exempt bonds; (iii) a $16.2 million letter of credit that supports debt securities issued by the Express pipeline system; (iv) a $10.7 million letter of credit that supports KMP’s indemnification obligations on the Series D note borrowings of Cortez Capital Corporation; and (v) a combined $16.7 million in other letters of credit supporting other obligations of KMP and its subsidiaries.

Subsequent Event

On July 1, 2011, KMP amended its $2.0 billion three-year, senior unsecured revolving credit facility to, among other things, (i) allow for borrowings of up to $2.2 billion; (ii) extend the maturity of the credit facility from June 23, 2013 to July 1, 2016; (iii) permit an amendment to allow for borrowings of up to $2.5 billion; and (iv) decrease the interest rates and commitment fees for borrowings under this facility.

KMP’s Commercial Paper Program

As of June 30, 2011, KMP’s commercial paper program provided for the issuance of $2.0 billion of commercial paper. In July 2011, in conjunction with the amendment to its revolving credit facility, KMP increased its commercial paper program to provide for the issuance of up to $2.2 billion of commercial paper. KMP’s unsecured revolving credit facility supports its commercial paper program, and borrowings under KMP’s commercial paper program reduce the borrowings allowed under its credit facility. The borrowings under KMP’s commercial paper program were used principally to finance the acquisitions and capital expansions it made during 2011 and 2010. In the near term, KMP expects that its short-term liquidity and financing needs will be met primarily through borrowings made under its commercial paper program.

Long-term Debt

Kinder Morgan Finance Company LLC

In January 2011, Kinder Morgan Finance Company LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of KMI, retired the principal amount of its 5.35% senior notes that matured on January 5, 2011 using proceeds from the December 2010 issuance of $750 million in principal amount of 6.00% senior notes due January 15, 2018.

KMP - Senior Notes

On March 4, 2011, KMP completed a public offering of $1.1 billion in principal amount of senior notes in two separate series, consisting of $500 million of 3.500% notes due March 1, 2016, and $600 million of 6.375% notes due March 1, 2041. KMP received proceeds from the issuance of the notes, after deducting the underwriting discount of $1,092.7 million, and it used the proceeds to reduce the borrowings under its commercial paper program.

In addition, on March 15, 2011, KMP paid $700 million to retire the principal amount of its 6.75% senior notes that matured on that date. KMP used both cash on hand and borrowings under its commercial paper program to repay the maturing senior notes.

KMP’s Subsidiary Debt

Kinder Morgan Operating L.P. “A” Debt

Effective January 1, 2007, KMP acquired the remaining approximately 50.2% interest in the Cochin pipeline system that it did not already own. As part of the purchase price consideration, two of KMP’s subsidiaries issued a long-term note payable to the seller having a fair value of $42.3 million. KMP valued the debt equal to the present value of amounts to be paid, determined using an annual interest rate of 5.40%. KMP’s subsidiaries Kinder Morgan Operating L.P. “A” and Kinder Morgan Canada Company are the obligors on the note, and the principal amount of the note, along with interest, is due in five annual installments of $10.0 million beginning March 31, 2008. KMP paid the fourth installment on March 31, 2011, and as of June 30, 2011, the net present value of the note (representing the outstanding balance included as debt

Kinder Morgan, Inc. Form 10-Q

on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet) was $9.6 million. As of December 31, 2010, the net present value of the note was $19.2 million.

Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline, L.P. Debt

KMP’s subsidiary, Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline, L.P. is the obligor on a series of unsecured senior notes, which were assumed on August 1, 2005 when it acquired a natural gas storage facility located in Liberty County, Texas from a third party. The notes have a fixed annual stated interest rate of 8.85%; however, KMP valued the debt equal to the present value of amounts to be paid determined using an approximate interest rate of 5.23%. The assumed principal amount, along with interest, is due in monthly installments of approximately $0.7 million, and the final payment is due January 2, 2014. During the first six months of 2011, KMP paid a combined principal amount of $3.6 million, and as of June 30, 2011, Kinder Morgan Texas Pipeline L.P.’s outstanding balance under the senior notes was $20.0 million. Additionally, the unsecured senior notes may be prepaid at any time in amounts of at least $1.0 million and at a price equal to the higher of par value or the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the portion being prepaid. As of December 31, 2010, the outstanding balance under the notes was $23.6 million.

Kinder Morgan Arrow Terminals, L.P. Debt

On April 4, 2011, KMP’s subsidiary Kinder Morgan Arrow Terminals, L.P. acquired a parcel of land and a terminal warehouse located in Industry, Pennsylvania from a third party for an aggregate consideration of $3.3 million, consisting of $1.2 million in cash and a $2.1 million promissory note payable. The note principal is payable in three annual payments beginning in March 2012. The note bears interest at 6% per annum, and accrued interest on the unpaid principal amount is due and payable on the due date of each principal installment.

Interest Rate Swaps

Information on interest rate swaps is contained in Note 6, “Risk Management – Interest Rate Risk Management.”

Contingent Debt

The following contingent debt disclosures pertain to certain types of guarantees or indemnifications KMP has made and cover certain types of guarantees included within debt agreements, even if the likelihood of requiring its performance under such guarantee is remote. Most of these agreements are with entities that are not consolidated in our financial statements; however, KMP has invested in and holds equity ownership interests in these entities.

As of June 30, 2011, KMP’s contingent debt obligations with respect to these investments, as well as its obligations with respect to related letters of credit, are summarized below (dollars in millions):

5. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Equity

As of June 30, 2011, our stockholders’ equity included the following shares:

	June 30, 2011
Class P shares	110,897,328
Class A shares	596,102,672
Class B shares	100,000,000
Class C shares	2,462,927

For accounting purposes, both our Class P and our Class A shares are considered common stock, and our Class B and Class C shares are considered participating securities.

Initial Public Offering

In the following discussion, the Investors refer to: (i) Richard D. Kinder, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer; (ii) investment funds advised by, or affiliated with, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Highstar Capital LP, The Carlyle Group and Riverstone Holdings LLC, which we refer to collectively as the ‘‘Sponsor Investors;’’ (iii) Fayez Sarofim, one of our directors, and investment entities affiliated with him, and an investment entity affiliated with Michael C. Morgan, another of our directors, and William V. Morgan, one of our founders; and (iv) a number of other members of our management.

On February 16, 2011, we completed an initial public offering of our common stock (the offering). In connection with the offering, we converted from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation. Our outstanding Class A units, Class B units and Class A-1 units were converted to Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares, respectively. Upon this conversion, the Sponsor Investors then converted some of their Class A shares on a one-for-one basis into our common stock sold in the offering. No shares were sold by members of Kinder Morgan management in the offering. All of the common stock that was sold in the offering was sold by existing investors, consisting of investment funds advised by, or affiliated with, Goldman, Sachs & Co., Highstar Capital LP, The Carlyle Group and Riverstone Holdings LLC, and we did not receive any proceeds from the offering. The class of common stock sold in the offering was our Class P common stock, which is sometimes referred to herein as our “common stock.” Our then existing investors prior to the initial public offering hold our Class A, Class B and Class C common stock, which is sometimes collectively referred to herein as our “investor retained stock.”

In the offering, the selling stockholders sold 109,786,590 shares, or approximately 15.5% of our outstanding shares. Upon the closing of the offering, our investor retained stock was convertible into a fixed aggregate of 597,213,410 shares of common stock, which represented 84.5% of our outstanding shares of common stock on a fully-converted basis. The number of shares of common stock into which Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares will convert will be determined in accordance with our certificate of incorporation. The conversion of investor retained stock into shares of our common stock will not increase our total fully converted shares outstanding. Initially, our Class A shares will be convertible into shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis and our Class B shares and Class C shares will not be convertible into any shares of our common stock. Any conversion of Class B shares and Class C shares will decrease on a share for share basis the number of shares of our common stock into which our Class A shares would be able to convert. The terms of the Class A shares, Class B shares and Class C shares are intended to preserve substantially the same relative rights to share in the value of Kinder Morgan, Inc.’s equity that the Class A units, Class B units and Class A-1 units, respectively, had with respect to Kinder Morgan Holdco LLC’s equity.

Kinder Morgan, Inc. Dividends

On February 11, 2011, our Board of Directors declared and paid a dividend to our then existing investors of $245.8 million with respect to the period for which we were not public. This consisted of $205.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 and $104.8 million for the first 46 days of 2011, representing the portion of the first quarter of 2011 that we were not public, less a one time adjustment of $64.0 million in available earnings and profits reserved for the after tax cost of special cash bonuses (and premium pay) in an aggregate amount of approximately $100 million that was paid in May of 2011 to certain of our non-senior employees. No holders of our Class B shares or Class C shares received such bonuses.

On May 16, 2011, we paid a prorated dividend of $0.14 per share for the first quarter of 2011, to shareholders of record as of May 2, 2011. The initial dividend is prorated from February 16, 2011, the day that we closed the offering, to
