TEEKAY LNG PARTNERS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES
TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except unit and per unit data)
1. Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with
United States generally accepted accounting principles (or GAAP). These financial statements
include the accounts of Teekay LNG Partners L.P. (or Teekay LNG), which is a limited partnership
organized under the laws of the Republic of The Marshall Islands, and its wholly owned or
controlled subsidiaries and the Dropdown Predecessor, as described below (collectively, the
Partnership). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete annual financial
statements have been omitted and, therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Partnerships restated audited consolidated financial statements for the year
ended December 31, 2007 which are included on Form 20-F/A filed
on December 2, 2008. In the opinion of management of Teekay GP L.L.C., the General Partner of
Teekay LNG (or the General Partner), these interim consolidated financial statements reflect all
adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly, in all material respects,
the Partnerships consolidated financial position, results of operations, and changes in partners
equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim
periods presented are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year. Significant
intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation. Certain of the
comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted in the current
period.
As required by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (or SFAS) No. 141, the Partnership
accounts for the acquisition of interests in vessels from Teekay Corporation as a transfer of a
business between entities under common control. The method of accounting prescribed by SFAS No.
141 for such transfers is similar to pooling of interests method of accounting. Under this method,
the carrying amount of net assets recognized in the balance sheets of each combining entity are
carried forward to the balance sheet of the combined entity, and no other assets or liabilities
are recognized as a result of the combination. The excess of the proceeds paid, if any, by the
Partnership over Teekay Corporations historical cost is accounted for as an equity distribution
to Teekay Corporation. In addition, transfers of net assets between entities under common control
are accounted for as if the transfer occurred from the date that the Partnership and the acquired
vessels were both under the common control of Teekay Corporation and had begun operations. As a
result, the Partnerships financial statements prior to the date the interests in these vessels
were actually acquired are retroactively adjusted to include the results of these vessels during
the periods under common control of Teekay Corporation.
On January 1, 2007, the Partnership acquired interests in a 2000-built LPG carrier, the Dania
Spirit, and the related long-term, fixed rate charter contract from Teekay Corporation. On April
1, 2008, the Partnership acquired interests in two LNG vessels (the Kenai LNG Carriers) from
Teekay Corporation and immediately chartered the vessels back to Teekay Corporation. These
transactions were deemed to be business acquisitions between entities under common control. As a
result, the Partnerships balance sheet as at December 31, 2007, statements of income (loss) for
the six months ended June 30, 2008, statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, and statements of changes in partners equity for the six months ended June 30,
2008 reflect these three vessels, referred to herein as the Dropdown Predecessor, as if the
Partnership had acquired them when each respective vessel began operations under the ownership of
Teekay Corporation. These vessels began operations under the ownership of Teekay Corporation on
April 1, 2003 (Dania Spirit), and December 13 and 14, 2007 (the Kenai LNG Carriers).
The effect of adjusting the Partnerships financial statements to
account for this common control exchange increased our net income
by $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008.
The consolidated financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows of the Dropdown Predecessor. In the preparation of these consolidated financial
statements, general and administrative expenses and interest expense were not identifiable as
relating solely to the vessel. General and administrative expenses (consisting primarily of
salaries and other employee related costs, office rent, legal and professional fees, and travel
and entertainment) were allocated based on the Dropdown Predecessors proportionate share of
Teekay Corporations total ship-operating (calendar) days for the period presented. In addition,
if the Dropdown Predecessor was capitalized in part with non-interest bearing loans from Teekay
Corporation and its subsidiaries, these intercompany loans were generally used to finance the
acquisition of the vessels. Interest expense includes the allocation of interest to the Dropdown
Predecessor from Teekay Corporation and its subsidiaries based upon the weighted-average
outstanding balance of these intercompany loans and the weighted-average interest rate outstanding
on Teekay Corporations loan facilities that were used to finance these intercompany loans.
Management believes these allocations reasonably presents the general and administrative expenses
and interest expense of the Dropdown Predecessor.
The
accompanying consolidated financial statements have been restated.
The nature of the restatements and the effect on the consolidated
financial statement line items is discussed in Note 19 of the notes
to consolidated financial statements. In addition, certain
disclosures in the following notes have been restated to be
consistent with the consolidated financial statements.
On May 6, 2008, the date the vessels commenced operations, the Partnership acquired Teekay
Corporations 100% ownership interest in Teekay Nakilat (III) Holdings Corporation (or Teekay
Nakilat (III)) in exchange for a non-interest bearing and unsecured promissory note. Teekay
Nakilat (III) owns 40% of Teekay Nakilat (III) Corporation (RasGas 3 Joint Venture), which in turn
has a 100% interest relating to the four LNG carriers (the RasGas 3 LNG Carriers). On the date the
first vessel was delivered to the RasGas 3 Joint Venture from the shipyard the Partnership
acquired the shares of Teekay Nakilat (III) and therefore, Teekay Nakilat (III) was no longer a
variable interest entity and its results form part of the consolidated financial statements.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, $7.4 million of critical spares inventory was reclassified
from other assets to fixed assets and is being depreciated over the remaining life of the assets
(thirty-four years) on a straight-line basis.

2. Fair Value Measurements
Effective January 1, 2008, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (or
SFAS) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board
Staff Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No. 157, the Partnership will defer
the adoption of SFAS No. 157 for its nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except
those items recognized or disclosed at fair value on an annual or more frequently recurring basis,
until January 1, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 157 did not have a material impact on the
Partnerships fair value measurements.
SFAS No. 157 clarifies the definition of fair value, prescribes methods for measuring fair value,
establishes a fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used to measure fair value and expands
disclosure about the use of fair value measurements. The fair value hierarchy has three levels
based on the reliability of the inputs used to determine fair value as follows:
Level 1. Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;
Level 2. Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either
directly or indirectly; and
Level 3. Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the
reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.
The following table presents the Partnerships assets and liabilities that are measured at fair
value on a recurring basis and are categorized using the fair value hierarchy.

(1) |
|
The fair value of the Partnerships interest rate swap agreements is the estimated amount that
the Partnership would receive or pay to terminate the agreements at the reporting date, taking
into account current interest rates and the current credit worthiness
of both the Partnership and the swap counterparties.
The estimated amount is the present value of future cash flows. Given
the current volatility in the credit markets, it is reasonably
possible that the amount recorded as derivative assets and liabilities could vary
by a material amount in the near term. |
|
(2) |
|
The Partnerships other derivative agreement is between Teekay Corporation and the Partnership
and relates to hire payments under the time-charter contract for the Toledo Spirit (see Note 11e).
The fair value of this derivative agreement is the estimated amount that the Partnership would
receive or pay to terminate the agreement at the reporting date, based on the present value of
Partnerships projection of future spot market rates, which has been derived from current spot
market rates and long-term historical average rates. |
Changes in fair value during the three months ended June 30, 2008 for assets and liabilities that
are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
are as follows:

3. Public Offering
On April 23, 2008, the Partnership completed a follow-on public offering of 5.0 million common
units at a price of $28.75 per unit, for gross proceeds of approximately $143.8 million. On May
8, 2008, the underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option and purchased an
additional 375,000 common units for an additional $10.8 million in gross proceeds to the
Partnership. Concurrently with the public offering, Teekay Corporation acquired 1.7 million common
units of the Partnership at the same public offering price for a total cost of $50.0 million. As
a result of these equity transactions, the Partnership raised gross equity proceeds of $208.7
million (including the General Partners 2% proportionate capital contribution), and Teekay
Corporations ownership in the Partnership was reduced from 63.7% to 57.7% (including its indirect
2% General Partner interest). The Partnership used the total net proceeds from the equity
offerings of approximately $202.5 million to reduce amounts outstanding under the Partnerships
revolving credit facilities that were used to fund the acquisitions of interests in liquefied
natural gas (or LNG) carriers.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Contd)
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except unit and per unit data)
4. Segment Reporting
The Partnership has two reportable segments: its liquefied gas segment and its Suezmax tanker
segment. The Partnerships liquefied gas segment consists of LNG carriers and a liquefied
petroleum gas (or LPG) carrier subject to long-term, fixed-rate time charters to international
energy companies. As at June 30, 2008 and excluding newbuilding vessels, the Partnerships
liquefied gas segment consisted of twelve LNG carriers (including three RasGas 3 LNG Carriers (as
defined in Note 11(g) below) which are accounted for under the equity method) and one LPG carrier.
The Partnerships Suezmax tanker segment consists of eight Suezmax-class crude oil tankers
operating on long-term, fixed-rate time-charter contracts to international energy companies.
Segment results are evaluated based on income from vessel operations. The accounting policies
applied to the reportable segments are the same as those used in the preparation of the
Partnerships restated audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2007.
The following table presents results for these segments for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008 and 2007:

5. Leases and Restricted Cash
Capital Lease Obligations
RasGas II LNG Carriers. As at June 30, 2008, the Partnership owned an indirect 70% interest in
Teekay Nakilat Corporation (or Teekay Nakilat), which is the lessee under 30-year capital lease
arrangements relating to three LNG carriers (or the RasGas II LNG Carriers) that operate under
time-charter contracts with Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Co. Limited (II) (or RasGas II), a
joint venture between Qatar Petroleum and ExxonMobil RasGas Inc., a subsidiary of ExxonMobil
Corporation. All amounts below relating to the RasGas II LNG Carriers capital leases include the
Partnerships joint venture partners 30% share.
Under the terms of the RasGas II capital lease arrangements, the lessor claims tax depreciation on
the capital expenditures it incurred to acquire these vessels. As is typical in these leasing
arrangements, tax and change of law risks are assumed by the lessee. Lease payments under the
rentals payable under the lease arrangements are based on certain tax and financial assumptions at
the commencement of the leases. If an assumption proves to be incorrect, the lessor is entitled to
increase the lease payments to maintain its agreed after-tax margin. However, Teekay Nakilat may
terminate the lease arrangements on a voluntary basis at any time. If the lease arrangements
terminate, Teekay Nakilat will be required to pay termination sums to the lessor sufficient to
repay the lessors investment in the vessels and to compensate it for the tax effect of the
terminations, including recapture of any tax depreciation.
At their inception, the weighted-average interest rate implicit in these leases was 5.2%. These
capital leases are variable-rate capital leases. As at June 30,
2008, the commitments under these capital leases approximated $1.01 billion, including imputed
interest of $615.9 million, repayable as follows:

Spanish-Flagged LNG Carrier. As at June 30, 2008, the Partnership was the lessee under a capital
lease on one Spanish-flagged LNG carrier (the Madrid Spirit) which is structured as a Spanish tax
lease. The Partnership was a party to a similar Spanish tax lease for another LNG carrier (the
Catalunya Spirit) until it purchased the vessel pursuant to the capital lease in December 2006.
Under the terms of the Spanish tax lease for the Madrid Spirit, which includes the Partnerships
contractual right to full operation of the vessel pursuant to a bareboat charter, the Partnership
will purchase the vessel at the end of the lease term in 2011. The purchase obligation has been
fully funded with restricted cash deposits described below. At its inception, the interest rate
implicit in the Spanish tax lease was 5.8%. As at June 30, 2008, the commitments under this
capital lease, including the purchase obligation, approximated 141.7 million Euros
($223.4 million), including imputed interest of 18.3 million Euros ($28.9 million), repayable as

Suezmax Tankers. As at June 30, 2008, the Partnership was a lessee under capital leases on five
Suezmax tankers. Under the terms of the lease arrangements, which include the Partnerships
contractual right to full operation of the vessels pursuant to bareboat charters, the Partnership
is required to purchase these vessels after the end of their respective lease terms for a fixed
price. At their inception, the weighted-average interest rate implicit in these leases was 7.4%.
These capital leases are variable-rate capital leases; however, any change in the lease payments
resulting from changes in interest rates is offset by a corresponding change in the charter hire
payments received by the Partnership. As at June 30, 2008, the remaining commitments under these
capital leases, including the purchase obligations, approximated $239.1 million, including imputed
interest of $30.2 million, repayable as follows:

Restricted Cash
Under the terms of the capital leases for the four LNG carriers described above, the Partnership
is required to have on deposit with financial institutions an amount of cash that, together with
interest earned on the deposit, will equal the remaining amounts owing under the leases, including
the obligation to purchase the Spanish-flagged LNG carrier at the end of the lease period. These
cash deposits are restricted to being used for capital lease payments and have been fully funded
primarily with term loans (see Note 8). The interest rates earned on the deposits approximate the
interest rates implicit in the leases.
As at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the amount of restricted cash on deposit for the three
RasGas II LNG Carriers was $487.3 million and $492.2 million, respectively. As at June 30, 2008
and December 31, 2007, the weighted-average interest rates earned on the deposits were 2.8% and
5.3%, respectively.
As at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the amount of restricted cash on deposit for the
Spanish-flagged LNG carrier was 125.9 million Euros ($198.4 million) and 122.8 million Euros
($179.2 million), respectively. As at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the weighted-average
interest rate earned on the deposit was 5.0%.
The Partnership also maintains restricted cash deposits relating to certain term loans, which
totaled 6.0 million Euros ($9.4 million) and 5.3 million Euros ($7.8 million) as at June 30, 2008
and December 31, 2007, respectively.
6. Intangible Assets and Goodwill

As at June 30, 2008, long-term debt related to newbuilding vessels to be delivered was
$430.9 million (December 31, 2007 $809.3 million). See Note 13a. |
As at June 30, 2008, the Partnership had three long-term revolving credit facilities available,
which, as at such date, provided for borrowings of up to $604.4 million, of which $504.4 million
was undrawn. Interest payments are based on LIBOR plus margins. The amount available under the
revolving credit facilities reduces by $15.3 million (second half of 2008), $31.0 million (2009),
$31.6 million (2010), $32.2 million (2011), $32.9 million (2012) and $461.4 million (thereafter).
All the revolving credit facilities may be used by the Partnership to fund General Partnership
purposes and to fund cash distributions. The Partnership is required to reduce all borrowings used
to fund cash distributions to zero for a period of at least 15 consecutive days during any
12-month period. The revolving credit facilities are collateralized by first-priority mortgages
granted on seven of the Partnerships vessels, together with other related collateral, and include
a guarantee from the Partnership or its subsidiaries of all outstanding amounts.
The Partnership has a U.S. Dollar-denominated term loan outstanding, which as at June 30, 2008,
totaled $434.0 million, of which $265.8 million bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.39% and
requires quarterly payments. The remaining $168.2 million bears interest based on LIBOR plus a
margin and will require bullet repayments of approximately $56 million for each of the three
vessels due at maturity in 2018 and 2019. The term loan is collateralized by first-priority
mortgages on the vessels, together with certain other related collateral and a guarantee from the
Partnership.
The Partnership has a U.S. Dollar-denominated term loan outstanding, which, as at June 30, 2008,
totaled $808.1 million, of which $329.6 million bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.36% and
requires quarterly payments. The remaining $478.5 million bears interest based on LIBOR plus a
margin and will require bullet repayments of approximately $110 million for each of the three
vessels and approximately $75 million for the fourth vessel due at maturity in 2020. Following
delivery of each of the vessels, another tranche totaling approximately $35 million will be
advanced under the loan facility in quarterly installments until 2014 and will then be repaid in
quarterly payments until maturity in 2020. The $808.1 million term loan represents 100% of the
RasGas 3 term loan which was used to fund advances
on similar terms and conditions to the joint venture. The term loan is collateralized by
first-priority mortgages on the vessels, together with certain other related collateral and a
guarantee from the Partnership.
Teekay Tangguh Holdings Corporation (or Teekay Tangguh) owns a 70% interest in Teekay BLT
Corporation (or the Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture). The Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture owns two LNG
newbuilding carriers (or the Tangguh LNG Carriers), scheduled for delivery November 2008 and
March 2009, respectively, and the related 20-year fixed-rate, time-charter contracts. On
November 1, 2006, the Partnership agreed to purchase Teekay Corporations 100% interest in Teekay
Tangguh, which caused the Partnership to become the primary beneficiary of this variable interest
entity (see Note 13). As at June 30, 2008, Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture had a loan facility,
which, as at such date, provided for borrowings of up to $392.0 million, of which $111.2 million
was undrawn. Interest payments on the loan are based on LIBOR plus margins. At June 30, 2008, the
margins ranged between 0.30% and 0.80%. Following delivery of the vessels, interest payments on
one tranche under the loan facility will be based on LIBOR plus 0.30%, while interest payments on
the second tranche will be based on LIBOR plus 0.625%. Commencing three months after delivery of
each vessel, one tranche (total value of $324.5 million) reduces in quarterly payments while the
other tranche (total value of up to $190.0 million) correspondingly is drawn up with a final $95
million bullet payment per vessel at the end of the twelve-year term. This loan facility is
collateralized by first-priority mortgages on the vessels to which the loan relates, together with
certain other collateral and is guaranteed by Teekay Corporation. Upon transfer of the ownership
of Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture from Teekay Corporation to the Partnership, the rights and
obligations of Teekay Corporation under the guarantee, may, upon the fulfillment of certain
conditions, be transferred to the Partnership.

TEEKAY LNG PARTNERS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Contd)
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except unit and per unit data)
The Partnership has a U.S. Dollar-denominated demand loan outstanding owing to Teekay Nakilats
joint venture partner, which, as at June 30, 2008, totaled $15.8 million, including accrued
interest. Interest payments on this loan, which are based on a fixed interest rate of 4.84%,
commenced on February 2008. The loan is repayable on demand no earlier than February 27, 2027.
The Partnership has two Euro-denominated term loans outstanding, which, as at June 30, 2008
totaled 300.4 million Euros ($473.3 million). These loans were used to make restricted cash
deposits that fully fund payments under capital leases for the LNG carriers the Madrid Spirit and
the Catalunya Spirit (see Note 5). Interest payments are based on EURIBOR plus a margin. The term
loans have varying maturities through 2023 and monthly payments that reduce over time. The term
loans are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on the vessels to which the loans relate,
together with certain other related collateral and guarantees from one of the Partnerships
subsidiaries.
The weighted-average effective interest rate for the Partnerships long-term debt outstanding at
June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was 4.4% and 5.5%, respectively. These rates do not reflect
the effect of related interest rate swaps that the Partnership has used to hedge certain of its
floating-rate debt (see Note 12). At June 30, 2008, the margins on the Partnerships long-term
debt ranged from 0.3% to 0.9%.
All Euro-denominated term loans are revalued at the end of each period using the then-prevailing
Euro/U.S. Dollar exchange rate. Due primarily to this revaluation, the Partnership recognized
foreign exchange losses of a nominal amount and $33.9 million, and $5.7 million and $10.5 million
for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, respectively.
Certain loan agreements require that minimum levels of tangible net worth and aggregate liquidity
be maintained, provide for a maximum level of leverage, and require one of the Partnerships
subsidiaries to maintain restricted cash deposits. The Partnerships ship-owning subsidiaries may
not, among other things, pay dividends or distributions if the Partnership is in default under the
term loans or the Revolvers.

11. Related Party Transactions
a) The Partnership and certain of its operating subsidiaries have entered into services agreements
with certain subsidiaries of Teekay Corporation pursuant to which the Teekay Corporation
subsidiaries provide the Partnership with administrative, advisory, technical and strategic
consulting services. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership
incurred $1.6 million and $3.2 million, respectively, of these costs, compared to $1.6 million and
$3.0 million, respectively, for the same periods last year.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, nil and $3.1 million, respectively, of
interest expenses attributable to the operations of the Kenai LNG Carriers were incurred by Teekay
Corporation and have been allocated to the Partnership as part of the Dropdown Predecessor,
compared to nil and nil, respectively, for the same periods last year.
b) The Partnership reimburses the General Partner for all expenses incurred by the General Partner
or its affiliates that are necessary or appropriate for the conduct of the Partnerships business.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership incurred $0.2
million and $0.5 million, respectively, of these costs, compared to $0.1 million and $0.2 million,
respectively, for the same periods last year.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Contd)
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except unit and per unit data)
c) The Partnership is a party to an agreement with Teekay Corporation pursuant to which Teekay
Corporation provides the Partnership with off-hire insurance for its LNG carriers. During the
three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Partnership incurred $0.6 million and $1.0
million of these costs, respectively, compared to $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, for
the same periods last year.
d) In connection with the Partnerships initial public offering in May 2005, the Partnership
entered into an omnibus agreement with Teekay Corporation, the General Partner and other related
parties governing, among other things, when the Partnership and Teekay Corporation may compete
with each other and certain rights of first offer on LNG carriers and Suezmax tankers.
In December 2006, the omnibus agreement was amended in connection with the initial public offering
of Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. (or Teekay Offshore). As amended, the agreement governs, among
other things, when the Partnership, Teekay Corporation and Teekay Offshore may compete with each
other and certain rights of first offer on LNG carriers, oil tankers, shuttle tankers, floating
storage and offtake units and floating production, storage and offloading units.
e) The Partnerships Suezmax tanker, the Toledo Spirit, which was delivered in July 2005, operates
pursuant to a time-charter contract that increases or decreases the otherwise fixed hire rate
established in the charter depending on the spot charter rates that the Partnership would have
earned had it traded the vessel in the spot tanker market. The remaining term of the time-charter
contract is 18 years, although the charterer has the right to terminate the time charter in July
2018. The Partnership has entered into an agreement with Teekay Corporation under which Teekay
Corporation pays the Partnership any amounts payable to the charterer as a result of spot rates
being below the fixed rate, and the Partnership pays Teekay Corporation any amounts payable to the
Partnership as a result of spot rates being in excess of the fixed rate. During the three and six
months ended June 30, 2008, no payments were owing to Teekay Corporation as a result of this
agreement (see Note 12), compared to payments to Teekay Corporation of $1.0 million and $1.9
million, respectively, for the same periods last year.
f) On November 1, 2006, the Partnership agreed to acquire from Teekay Corporation its 70% interest
in the Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture, which owns the two newbuilding Tangguh LNG Carriers and the
related 20-year, fixed-rate time charters to service the Tangguh LNG project in Indonesia. The
purchase will occur upon the delivery of the first newbuilding, which is scheduled for November
2008. The estimated purchase price (net of assumed debt) for Teekay Corporations 70% interest in
the Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture is $85 million, which will depend upon the total construction
cost of the vessels. The customer will be The Tangguh Production Sharing Contractors, a consortium
led by BP Berau Ltd., a subsidiary of BP plc. Teekay Corporation has contracted to construct the
two double-hull Tangguh LNG Carriers of 155,000 cubic meters each at a total delivered cost of
approximately $376.9 million, excluding capitalized interest, of which the Partnership will be
responsible for 70%. As at June 30, 2008, payments made towards these commitments by the Teekay
Tangguh Joint Venture totaled $303.3 million, excluding $32.9 million of capitalized interest and
other miscellaneous construction costs, and long-term financing arrangements existed for all of
the remaining $73.6 million unpaid cost of the LNG carriers. As at June 30, 2008, the scheduled
timing for these remaining payments were $37.6 million in 2008 and $36.1 million in 2009. The
charters will commence upon vessel deliveries, which are scheduled for November 2008 and March
2009. The Partnership will have operational responsibility for the vessels in this project. The
remaining 30% interest in the Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture relating to this project is held by BLT
LNG Tangguh Corporation, a subsidiary of PT Berlian Laju Tanker Tbk.
In June 2008, the Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture repaid $19.6 million of its contributed capital to
Teekay Corporation as part of normal advance repayments.
g) On November 1, 2006, the Partnership agreed to acquire from Teekay Corporation its 100%
interest in Teekay Nakilat (III) Holdings Corporation (or Teekay Nakilat (III)), which in turn owns
40% of Teekay Nakilat (III) Corporation (RasGas 3 Joint Venture). RasGas 3 Joint Venture owns four
LNG carriers (the RasGas 3 LNG Carriers) and related 25-year, fixed-rate time charters (with
options to extend up to an additional 10 years) to service expansion of an LNG project in Qatar.
The customer is Ras Laffan Liquefied Natural Gas Co. Limited (3), a joint venture company between
Qatar Petroleum and a subsidiary of ExxonMobil Corporation.
The joint venture contracted to
construct the four double-hulled RasGas 3 LNG Carriers of 217,000 cubic meters each at a total
delivered cost of approximately $1.0 billion, excluding capitalized interest, of which the
Partnership will be responsible for 40%. The first three vessels delivered on May 6, June 12 and
June 30, 2008, respectively. As at June 30, 2008, payments made towards the commitment by the
RasGas 3 Joint Venture for the fourth vessel totaled $248.4 million, excluding capitalized
interest and other miscellaneous construction costs (of which Teekay Corporations 40%
contribution was $99.3 million), and long-term financing arrangements existed for all of the
remaining $49.7 million unpaid cost of the LNG carrier, to be made in 2008.
Teekay Nakilat (III) and QGTC Nakilat (1643-6) Holdings Corporation (or QGTC 3) are joint and
several borrowers with respect to the RasGas 3 term loan and interest rate swap obligations. As a
result, the Partnership has reflected on its balance sheet 100 percent of the RasGas 3 term loan
and interest rate swap obligations rather than only 40% of such amounts. The loan and the joint
venture partners share of the swap obligations are reflected as advances to joint venture and
advances to joint venture partner, respectively.
On May 6, 2008, the Partnership acquired Teekay Corporations 100% ownership interest in Teekay
Nakilat (III) in exchange for a non-interest bearing and unsecured promissory note. The estimated
purchase price (net of assumed debt) of $110 million is subject to refinement upon determination of the final
construction costs of all four RasGas 3 LNG Carriers. The Partnership paid $49.1 million of this
amount during the quarter ended June 30, 2008. This transaction was concluded between two entities
under common control and, thus, the assets acquired were recorded at historical book value. The
excess of the purchase price over the book value of the assets was accounted for as an equity
distribution to Teekay Corporation. The remaining 60% interest in the RasGas 3 Joint Venture is
held by QGTC 3. The Partnership will have operational responsibility for the vessels in this
project, although the joint venture partner may assume operational responsibility beginning 10 years following delivery of the
vessels.

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Contd)
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except unit and per unit data)
h) On October 31, 2006, the Partnership acquired Teekay Corporations 100% ownership interest in
Teekay Nakilat Holdings Corporation (or Teekay Nakilat Holdings). Teekay Nakilat Holdings owns 70%
of Teekay Nakilat, which in turn has a 100% interest as the lessee under capital leases relating
to three LNG carriers delivered in late 2006 and early 2007 (the RasGas II LNG Carriers). The
final purchase price for the 70% interest in Teekay Nakilat was $102.0 million. The Partnership
paid $26.9 million of this amount during 2006 and $75.1 million during 2007. This transaction was
concluded between two entities under common control and, thus, the assets acquired were recorded
at historical book value. The excess of the purchase price over the book value of the assets was
accounted for as an equity distribution to Teekay Corporation. The purchase occurred upon the
delivery of the first LNG carrier in October 2006.
i) In January 2007, the Partnership acquired a 2000-built LPG carrier, the Dania Spirit, from
Teekay Corporation and the related long-term, fixed-rate time charter for a purchase price of
approximately $18.5 million. This transaction was concluded between two entities under common
control and, thus, the vessel acquired was recorded at its historical book value. The excess of
the book value over the purchase price of the vessel was accounted for as an equity contribution
by Teekay Corporation. The purchase was financed with one of the Partnerships revolving credit
facilities. This vessel is chartered to the Norwegian state-owned oil company, Statoil ASA, and
has a remaining contract term of eight years.
j) In March 2007, one of our LNG carriers, the Madrid Spirit, sustained damage to its engine
boilers. The vessel was off-hire for approximately 86 days during 2007. Since Teekay Corporation
provides the Partnership with off-hire insurance for its LNG carriers, the Partnerships exposure
was limited to fourteen days of off-hire, of which seven days was recoverable from a third-party
insurer. In July 2007, Teekay Corporation paid approximately $6.0 million to the Partnership for
loss-of-hire.
k) In April 2008, the Partnership acquired two 1993-built LNG vessels (the Kenai LNG Carriers)
from Teekay Corporation for a purchase price of $230.0 million. The Partnership has financed the
acquisition with borrowings under one of its revolving credit facilities.
The Partnership is chartering the vessels back to Teekay Corporation at a fixed rate for a period
of ten years (plus options exercisable by Teekay Corporation to extend up to an additional fifteen
years). During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership recognized revenues of $9.1
million under this charter.
l) As at June 30, 2008, non-interest bearing advances from affiliates totaled $104.2 million
(December 31, 2007 $40.3 million). These advances are unsecured and have no fixed repayment
terms.
12. Derivative Instruments
The Partnership uses derivative instruments in accordance with its overall risk management policy.
The Partnership has not designated these derivative instruments as hedges for accounting purposes.
At June 30, 2008, the fair value of the derivative liability relating to the agreement between the
Partnership and Teekay Corporation for the Toledo Spirit time charter contract was $27.9 million
(see Notes 2 and 11e). Realized and unrealized gains (losses) relating to this agreement have been
reflected in voyage revenues. Unrealized mark-to-market gains (losses) included in voyage revenues
related to this agreement for Toledo Spirit were $(9.3) million, $13.0 million, $(12.0) million,
and $14.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
The Partnership enters into interest rate swaps which either exchange a receipt of floating
interest for a payment of fixed interest or a payment of floating interest for a receipt of fixed
interest to reduce the Partnerships exposure to interest rate variability on its outstanding
floating-rate debt and floating-rate restricted cash deposits. The Partnership has not, for
accounting purposes, designated its interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of its USD LIBOR
denominated borrowings or restricted cash deposits. The net gain or loss on the Partnerships
interest rate swaps has been reported in interest expense (economic hedges of USD LIBOR
denominated borrowings) and interest income (USD LIBOR denominated restricted cash deposits) in
the unaudited consolidated statements of income (loss). Unrealized gains (losses) related to
interest rate swaps included in interest expense were $76.2 million, $63.6 million, $8.9 million,
and $70.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.
Unrealized gains (losses) related to interest rate swaps included in interest income were $(23.2)
million, $(27.0) million, $3.0 million, and $(31.1) million, respectively, for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007.

The Partnership is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to
the interest rate swap agreement. In order to minimize counterparty risk, the Partnership only
enters into derivative transactions with counterparties that are rated A or better by Standard &
Poors or Aa3 by Moodys at the time of the transactions. In addition, to the extent possible and
practical, interest rate swaps are entered into with different counterparties to reduce
concentration risk.
13. Commitments and Contingencies
(a) On November 1, 2006, the Partnership entered into an agreement with Teekay Corporation to
purchase (i) its 100% interest in Teekay Tangguh, which owns a 70% interest in the Teekay Tangguh
Joint Venture and (ii) its 100% interest in Teekay Nakilat (III), which owns a 40% interest in the
RasGas 3 Joint Venture (see Notes 11f and 11g). The Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture owns the two
newbuilding Tangguh LNG Carriers and the related 20-year time charters. The RasGas 3 Joint Venture
owns the four RasGas 3 LNG Carriers and the related 25-year time charters. The purchases occur
upon the delivery of the first newbuildings for the respective projects, which is scheduled for
November 2008 for the Tangguh project and which occurred May 6, 2008 for the RasGas 3 project. The
Partnerships purchase price for these projects, which depends upon the total construction costs
of the vessels, is estimated to be $85 million for the 70% interest in the Teekay Tangguh Joint
Venture and $110 million for the 40% interest in the RasGas 3 Joint Venture.
Upon delivery of the first RasGas 3 LNG Carrier on May 6, 2008, Teekay Corporation sold its
interest in Teekay Nakilat (III) to the Partnership for $110 million in exchange for a
non-interest bearing and unsecured promissory note. The Partnership paid $49.1 million of this
amount during the second quarter of 2008. The estimated final purchase price remains subject to
refinement upon determination of the final construction costs of all four RasGas 3 LNG Carriers.

TEEKAY LNG PARTNERS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Contd)
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except unit and per unit data)
In December 2003, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), Consolidation of Variable
Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 (or FIN 46(R)). In general, a variable interest
entity (or VIE) is a corporation, partnership, limited-liability company, trust or any other legal
structure used to conduct activities or hold assets that either (1) has an insufficient amount of
equity to carry out its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support,
(2) has a group of equity owners that are unable to make significant decisions about its
activities, or (3) has a group of equity owners that do not have the obligation to absorb losses
or the right to receive returns generated by its operations. If a party with an ownership,
contractual or other financial interest in the VIE (a variable interest holder) is obligated to
absorb a majority of the risk of loss from the VIEs activities, is entitled to receive a majority
of the VIEs residual returns (if no party absorbs a majority of the VIEs losses), or both, then
FIN 46(R) requires that this party consolidate the VIE.
The Partnership has consolidated Teekay Tangguh and Teekay Nakilat (III) in its consolidated
financial statements effective November 1, 2006, as both entities became VIEs and the Partnership
became their primary beneficiary on November 1, 2006, upon its agreement to acquire all of Teekay
Corporations interests in these entities. Upon the Partnerships acquisition of Teekay Nakilat
(III) on May 6, 2008, Teekay Nakilat (III) is no longer a VIE. The assets and liabilities of
Teekay Tangguh are reflected in the Partnerships financial statements at historical cost as the
Partnership and the VIE are under common control.
The following table summarizes the balance sheet of Teekay Tangguh as at June 30, 2008 and the
combined balance sheets of Teekay Tangguh and Teekay Nakilat (III) as at December 31, 2007:

The Partnerships maximum exposure to loss at June 30, 2008, as a result of its commitment to
purchase Teekay Corporations interests in Teekay Tangguh, is limited to the purchase price of
such interest, which is estimated to be $85 million.
(b) In December 2006, the Partnership announced that it has agreed to acquire three LPG carriers
from I.M. Skaugen ASA (or Skaugen), which engages in the marine transportation of petrochemical
gases and LPG and the lightering of crude oil, for approximately $33.7 million per vessel. The
vessels are currently under construction and are expected to deliver between early 2009 and
mid-2010. The Partnership will acquire the vessels upon their deliveries and will finance their
acquisition through existing or incremental debt, surplus cash balances, proceeds from the
issuance of additional common units or combinations thereof. Upon delivery, the vessels will be
chartered to Skaugen at fixed rates for a period of 15 years.
(c) In May 2008,
the Partnership announced it has agreed to
acquire two technically advanced 12,000 cubic meter newbuilding Multigas ships capable of carrying
LNG, LPG or ethylene
for a total cost of approximately $94 million.
Teekay Corporation has agreed to assume obligations
under existing shipbuilding contracts for these vessels from subsidiaries of Skaugen
and the Partnership has agreed to acquire the vessels from Teekay Corporation.
The vessels
are expected to deliver in the first half of 2010 and will then commence service under 15-year
fixed-rate charters to Skaugen.
14. Supplemental Cash Flow Information
a) Upon
delivery of the last two RasGas II Carriers in the first quarter of
2007, the remaining vessel costs and related lease obligations
amounting to $15.3 million were recorded. These transactions were
treated as non-cash transactions in the Partnerships
consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June
30, 2007. |
|
b) Net change in parents equity in the Dropdown Predecessor includes the equity of the
Dropdown Predecessor when initially pooled for accounting purposes and any subsequent
non-cash equity transactions of the Dropdown Predecessor. |

(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except unit and per unit data)
15. Partners Capital and Net Income (Loss) Per Unit
Partners Capital
At June 30, 2008, of our total units outstanding, 42% were held by the public and the remaining
units were held by a subsidiary of Teekay Corporation.
Limited Partners Rights
Significant rights of the limited partners include the following:
|
|
|
Right to receive distribution of available cash within approximately 45 days after the
end of each quarter. |
|
|
|
|
No limited partner shall have any management power over the Partnerships business and
affairs; the General Partner shall conduct, direct and manage our activities. |
|
|
|
|
The General Partner may be removed if such removal is approved by unitholders holding
at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding units voting as a single class, including units held
by our General Partner and its affiliates. |
Subordinated Units
All of the Partnerships subordinated units are held by a subsidiary of Teekay Corporation. Under
the partnership agreement, during the subordination period applicable to the Partnerships
subordinated units, the common units will have the right to receive distributions of available
cash from operating surplus in an amount equal to the minimum quarterly distribution of $0.4125
per quarter, plus any arrearages in the payment of the minimum quarterly distribution on the
common units from prior quarters, before any distributions of available cash from operating
surplus may be made on the subordinated units. Distribution arrearages do not accrue on the
subordinated units. The purpose of the subordinated units is to increase the likelihood that
during the subordination period there will be available cash to be distributed on the common
units.
During the three months ended June 30, 2008, 25% of the subordinated units (3.7 million units)
were converted into common units on a one-for-one basis as provided for under the terms of the
partnership agreement and will participate pro rata with the other common units in distributions
of available cash beginning with the August 2008 distribution. The price of the Partnerships
units at the time of conversion was $29.07 on May 19, 2008.
During the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, net income exceeded the minimum quarterly
distribution of $0.4125 per unit and, consequently, the assumed distribution of net income did not
result in an unequal distribution of net income between the subordinated unit holders and common
unit holders for the purposes of the net income (loss) per unit calculation as defined below.
Incentive Distribution Rights
The
General Partner is entitled to incentive distributions if the amount
the Partnership distributes to
unitholders with respect to any quarter exceeds specified target levels shown below:

During the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Partnerships net income exceeded $0.4625
per unit and, consequently, the assumed distribution of net income resulted in the use of the
increasing percentages to calculate the General Partners interest in net income for the purposes
of the net income (loss) per unit calculation.
Net Income (Loss) Per Unit
Net income per unit is determined by dividing net income (loss), after deducting the amount of net
income (loss) attributable to the Dropdown Predecessor and the amount of net income (loss)
allocated to the General Partners interest, by the weighted-average number of units outstanding
during the period.
As required by Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-6, Participating Securities and Two-Class
Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings Per Share, the General Partners, common
unitholders and subordinated unitholders interests in net income are calculated as if all net
income was distributed according to the terms of the Partnerships partnership agreement,
regardless of whether those earnings would or could be distributed. The partnership agreement does
not provide for the distribution of net income; rather, it provides for the distribution of
available cash, which is a contractually defined term that generally means all cash on hand at the
end of each quarter after establishment of cash reserves. Unlike available cash, net income is
affected by non-cash items, such as depreciation and amortization, unrealized gains or losses on
non-designated derivative instruments, and foreign currency translation gains (losses).

NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Contd)
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except unit and per unit data)
Pursuant to the Partnership agreement, income allocations are made on a quarterly basis; therefore
earnings per limited partner unit for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 is calculated as
the sum of the quarterly earnings per limited partner unit for each of the first two quarters of
the year.
16. Income Taxes
As of December 31, 2007, the Partnership had unrecognized tax benefits of 3.4 million Euros
(approximately $5.4 million) relating to a re-investment tax credit related to a 2005 annual tax
filing. During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership received the refund on the
re-investment tax credit and met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold during that
quarter. As a result, the Partnership has reflected this refund as a credit to equity as the
original vessel sale transaction was a related party transaction reflected in equity.
17. Other Information
In December 2007, a consortium in which Teekay Corporation has a 33% ownership interest agreed to
charter four newbuilding 160,400-cubic meter LNG carriers for a period of 20 years to the Angola
LNG Project, which is being developed by subsidiaries of Chevron Corporation, Sociedade Nacional
de Combustiveis de Angola EP, BP Plc, Total S.A. and Eni SpA. The vessels, if constructed, will be
chartered at fixed rates, with inflation adjustments, commencing in 2011. Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and
NYK Bulkship (Europe) have 34% and 33% ownership interests in the consortium, respectively. In
accordance with an existing agreement, Teekay Corporation is required to offer to the Partnership
its 33% ownership interest in these vessels and related charter contracts not later than 180 days
before delivery of the vessels.
18. Subsequent Events
a) |
|
On July 30, 2008, the last of the four RasGas 3 LNG Carriers delivered as scheduled. The RasGas 3
LNG Carriers, including the first three delivered in May and June 2008, operate under 25-year,
fixed-rate time charters (with options to extend up to an additional 10 years) to service
expansion of an LNG project in Qatar. See Note 11g. |
|
b) |
|
On October 7, 2008, the
Partnership borrowed $60 million on one its revolving credit
facilities to fund a
portion of the Partnerships
acquisition of Teekay Nakilat (III) and the future acquisition of Teekay Tangguh. |
|
c) |
|
On
November 21, 2008, the first of the two Tangguh LNG Carriers was
delivered to Teekay Corporation. Upon delivery of the first
vessel to the charterers in December 2008, the Partnership will acquire
Teekay Corporations 70% interest in the Tangguh Joint Venture. |
19. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements
a. Derivative Instruments
In August 2008, the Partnership commenced a review of its application of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (or SFAS) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities, as amended. Based on its review the Partnership concluded that its derivative
instruments did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS
No. 133 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. The Partnerships
findings were as follows:
|
|
|
One of the requirements of SFAS No. 133 is that hedge accounting is appropriate only for
those hedging relationships that a company expects will be highly effective in achieving
offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged. To
determine whether transactions satisfy this requirement, entities must periodically assess
the effectiveness of hedging relationships both prospectively and retrospectively. Based
on the Partnerships review, the Partnership concluded that the prospective hedge
effectiveness assessment that was conducted for certain of our interest rate swaps on the
date of designation was not sufficient to conclude that the interest rate swaps would be
highly effective, in accordance with the technical requirements of SFAS No. 133, in
achieving offsetting changes in cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged. |
|
|
|
|
To conclude that hedge accounting is appropriate, another requirement of SFAS No. 133 is
that hedge documentation should specify the method that will be used to assess,
retrospectively and prospectively, the hedging instruments effectiveness, and the method
that will be used to measure hedge ineffectiveness. Documentation for certain of the
Partnerships interest rate swaps did not clearly specify the method to be used to measure
hedge ineffectiveness. |
|
|
|
|
Certain of the Partnerships derivative instruments were designated as hedges when the
derivative instruments had a non-zero fair value. However, this designation was not
appropriate as the Partnership used certain methods of measuring ineffectiveness that are
not allowed in the case of non-zero fair value derivatives. |
|
|
|
|
One of the Partnerships Suezmax tankers, the Toledo Spirit operates pursuant to a
time-charter contract that increases or decreases the fixed rate established in the
charter, depending on the spot charter rates that the Partnership would have earned had it
traded the vessel in the spot tanker market. The Partnership had entered into an agreement
with Teekay Corporation under which Teekay Corporation pays the Partnership any amounts
payable to the charterer as a result of spot rates being below the fixed rate, and the
Partnership pays Teekay Corporation any amounts payable to the Partnership from the
charterer as a result of spot rates being in excess of the fixed rate. Prior to April 2007,
this agreement with Teekay Corporation was not accounted for as a derivative agreement
subject to the provisions of SFAS No. 133, and after April 2007, the agreement was
incorrectly accounted for as a cash flow hedge. |
Page 19 of 40
TEEKAY LNG PARTNERS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Contd)
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except unit and per unit data)
Accordingly, for accounting
purposes the Partnership should have reflected the change in fair
value of these derivatives as increases or decreases to its net income (loss) on its consolidated
statements of income (loss), instead of being reflected as increases or decreases to accumulated
other comprehensive income, a component of partners equity on the consolidated balance sheets and
statements of changes in partners equity.
The change in accounting for these transactions does not affect the economics of the derivative
transactions or the Partnerships cash flows, liquidity, or cash distribution to partners.
b. Vessels Acquired from Teekay Corporation
In connection with the Partnership assessing the potential impact of SFAS No. 141(R), which
replaces SFAS No. 141 Business Combinations, and is effective for fiscal years beginning after
December 15, 2008, the Partnership re-assessed its accounting treatment of interests in vessels it
purchased from Teekay Corporation subsequent to the Partnerships initial public offering in May
2005. The Partnership has historically treated the acquisition of interests in these vessels as
asset acquisitions, not business acquisitions. If the acquisitions were deemed to be business
acquisitions, the acquisitions would have been accounted for in a manner similar to the pooling of
interest method whereby the Partnerships consolidated financial statements prior to the date the
interests in these vessels were acquired by the Partnership would be retroactively adjusted to
include the results of these acquired vessels (referred to herein as the Dropdown Predecessor)
from the date that the Partnership and the acquired vessels were under common control of Teekay
Corporation and had begun operations. Although substantially all of the value relating to these
transactions are attributable to the vessels and associated contracts, the Partnership now has
determined that the acquisitions should have been accounted for as business acquisitions under
United States generally accepted accounting principles (or GAAP).
The impact of the retroactive Dropdown Predecessor adjustments does not affect limited partners
interest in net income, earnings per unit, or cash distributions to partners.
On January 1, 2007, the Partnership acquired interests in a 2000-built LPG carrier, the Dania
Spirit, and the related long-term, fixed rate charter contract from Teekay Corporation. This
transaction was deemed to be business acquisition between entities under common control. As a
result, the Partnerships statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007 reflects
this vessel as if the Partnership had acquired it when the vessel began operations under the
ownership of Teekay Corporation on April 1, 2003.
c. Gross-up Presentation of RasGas 3 Joint Venture and Other
Subsequent to the release of its preliminary second quarter financial results, the Partnership
reviewed and revised its financial statement presentation of debt and interest rate swap
agreements related to its joint venture interest in the RasGas 3 LNG carriers. As a result,
certain of the Partnerships assets and liabilities have been grossed up for accounting
presentation purposes. These adjustments do not affect the Partnerships net income, cash flow,
liquidity, cash distributions or partners equity in any period.
Through a wholly-owned subsidiary, the Partnership owns a 40 percent interest in the four RasGas 3
LNG carriers. The joint venture partner, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Qatar Gas Transport
Company, owns the remaining 60 percent interest. Both wholly-owned subsidiaries are joint and
several co-borrowers with respect to the RasGas 3 term loan and related interest rate swap
agreements. Previously, the Partnership recorded 40 percent of the RasGas 3 term loan and
interest rate swap obligations in its financial statements. The Partnership has made adjustments
to its balance sheet to reflect 100 percent of the RasGas 3 term loan and interest rate swap
obligations, as well as offsetting increases in assets, for the fourth quarter of 2006 through the
first quarter of 2008. The Partnership has also made adjustments to its statements of income
(loss) to reflect 100 percent of the interest expense
(three and six months ended June 30, 2007
$4.3 million and $9.0 million, respectively) on the RasGas 3 term loan with an offsetting
amount to interest income from its advances to the joint venture. These RasGas 3 balance sheet
adjustments do not result in any increase to the Partnerships
net exposure in this joint venture. The Partnership has also restated
certain other items primarily related to accounting for the non-controlling interest in the
Partnerships joint venture and VIEs.
As a result of the conclusions described above in this Note 19, the Partnership is restating
herein its historical statements of income (loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007
and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Certain of the previously reported
figures have been reclassified to conform to the presentation adopted for the restatements.

In
October 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (or
FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (or
SFAS) No. 157-3, Determining the Fair Value of a
Financial Asset in a Market That Is Not Active, which clarifies
the application of SFAS 157 when the market for a financial
asset is inactive. Specifically, SFAS No. 157-3 clarifies how
(1) managements internal assumptions should be considered
in measuring fair value when observable data are not present,
(2) observable market information from an inactive market should
be taken into account, and (3) the use of broker quotes or
pricing services should be considered in assessing the relevance of
observable and unobservable data to measure fair value. The guidance
in SFAS No. 157-3 is effective immediately but does not have any
impact on the Partnerships consolidated financial statements.

OVERVIEW
Teekay LNG Partners L.P. is an international provider of marine transportation services for
liquefied natural gas (or LNG), liquefied petroleum gas (or LPG) and crude oil. We were formed in
November 2004 by Teekay Corporation, the worlds largest owner and operator of medium sized crude
oil tankers, to expand its operations in the LNG shipping sector. Our growth strategy focuses on
expanding our fleet of LNG and LPG carriers under long-term, fixed-rate time charters. We intend to
continue our practice of acquiring LNG and LPG carriers as needed for approved projects only after
the long-term charters for the projects have been awarded to us, rather than ordering vessels on a
speculative basis. In executing our growth strategy, we may engage in vessel or business
acquisitions or enter into joint ventures and partnerships with companies that may provide
increased access to emerging opportunities from global expansion of the LNG and LPG sectors. We
seek to leverage the expertise, relationships and reputation of Teekay Corporation and its
affiliates to pursue these opportunities in the LNG and LPG sectors and may consider other
opportunities to which our competitive strengths are well suited. We view our Suezmax tanker fleet
primarily as a source of stable cash flow as we seek to expand our LNG and LPG operations.
SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS IN 2008
Equity Offerings
On April 23, 2008, we completed a follow-on public offering of 5.0 million common units at a price
of $28.75 per unit, for gross proceeds of approximately $143.8 million. On May 8, 2008, the
underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option and purchased an additional 375,000
common units for an additional $10.8 million in gross proceeds to us. Concurrently with the public
offering, Teekay Corporation acquired 1.7 million of our common units at the same public offering
price for a total cost of $50.0 million. As a result of these equity transactions, we raised gross
proceeds of $208.7 million (including our General Partners proportionate 2% capital contribution),
and Teekay Corporations ownership of us was reduced from 63.7% to 57.7% (including its indirect 2%
General Partner interest). We used the net proceeds from the equity offerings of approximately
$202.5 million to reduce amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facilities which were used
to fund the acquisitions of the Kenai LNG Carriers and our interests in the RasGas 3 LNG Carriers
described below.
Kenai LNG Carriers
In December 2007, Teekay Corporation acquired the two 1993-built LNG carriers (the Kenai LNG
Carriers) from a joint venture between Marathon Oil Corporation and ConocoPhillips for a total cost
of $230 million and chartered back the vessels to the seller until April 2009 (with options
exercisable by the charterer to extend up to an additional seven years). The specialized
ice-strengthened vessels were purpose-built to carry LNG from Alaskas Kenai LNG plant to Japan.
Teekay Corporation offered these vessels to us in accordance with existing agreements. On April 1,
2008, we acquired these two vessels from Teekay Corporation for a total cost of $230 million and
immediately chartered the vessels back to Teekay Corporation for a period of ten years (plus
options exercisable by Teekay to extend up to an additional fifteen years). The charter rate is
fixed, and does not provide Teekay Corporation with a profit over the net charter rate Teekay
Corporation receives from the Marathon Oil Corporation/ConocoPhillips joint venture unless the
joint venture exercises its option to extend the term in which case Teekay Corporation will
recognize a profit. The charter rate also adjusts to account for changes in vessel operating
expenses and provides for Teekay Corporation to pay for drydocking costs (although under the
charters the vessels are considered off-hire during drydock).
Page 25 of 40
If the Marathon Oil Corporation/ConocoPhillips joint venture ceases to charter the Kenai LNG
Carriers, Teekay Corporation will have the right to cause the conversion of the carriers to
floating storage and re-gasification units (or FSRUs). If converted, Teekay Corporation would
initially pay conversion costs and continue to pay the time charter rate, adjusted to reflect the
lack of vessel
operating expense. Upon delivery of a converted carrier, we would reimburse Teekay Corporation for
the conversion cost, but would receive an increase in the charter rate to account for the capital
expenditure to convert the vessel. In addition, because Teekay Corporation is providing at least
ten years of stable cash flow to us, we have agreed that it will not be required to offer to us
under other existing agreements any re-charter opportunity for the carriers and it will share in
the profits of any future charter or FSRU project in excess of a specified rate of return for us.
We have granted Teekay Corporation a right of refusal on any sale of the Kenai LNG Carriers to a
third party.
RasGas 3 LNG Carriers
In the second quarter of 2008, three of four newbuilding carriers (the RasGas 3 LNG Carriers) were
delivered in May and June 2008 which service expansion of an LNG project in Qatar. Based on a
November 1, 2006 agreement that we entered into with Teekay Corporation, upon delivery of the first
of the four vessels on May 6, 2008, Teekay Corporation sold to us its 100% interest in Teekay
Nakilat (III) Holdings Corporation (or Teekay Nakilat (III)), which owns a 40% interest in Teekay
Nakilat (III) Corporation (or RasGas 3 Joint Venture), in exchange for a non-interest bearing and
unsecured promissory note from us. The estimated purchase price of $110 million is subject to
refinement upon determination of the final construction costs of all four RasGas 3 LNG Carriers.
Please read Item 1Financial Statements: Note 11(g)Related Party Transactions, for additional
information about this transaction and the time-charter contracts under which these vessels
operate.
Skaugen Multigas
On May 14, 2008, we agreed to
acquire two technically advanced 12,000 cubic meter newbuilding Multigas ships capable of carrying
LNG, LPG or ethylene for a total cost of approximately $94 million. Teekay Corporation has agreed to assume obligations
under the existing shipbuilding contracts for these vessels from subsidiaries of I.M. Skaugen ASA
(Skaugen) and we have agreed to acquire the vessels upon their delivery.
The vessels are expected to deliver in the first half of 2010 at which time they will
immediately commence service under 15 year fixed-rate charters to Skaugen.
OTHER SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS
Angola LNG Project
In December 2007, a consortium in which Teekay Corporation has a 33% ownership interest agreed to
charter four newbuilding 160,400-cubic meter LNG carriers for a period of 20 years to the Angola
LNG Project, which is being developed by subsidiaries of Chevron Corporation, Sociedade Nacional de
Combustiveis de Angola EP, BP Plc, Total S.A., and Eni SpA. The vessels if constructed will be
chartered at fixed rates, subject to inflation adjustments, commencing in 2011. The remaining
members of the consortium are Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and NYK Bulkship (Europe), which hold 34% and 33%
ownership interests in the consortium, respectively. In accordance with an existing agreement,
Teekay Corporation is required to offer to us its 33% ownership interest in these vessels and
related charter contracts not later than 180 days before delivery of the vessels. Deliveries of the
vessels are scheduled for August 2011 to Jan 2012.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We use a variety of financial and operational terms and concepts when analyzing our results of
operations. Descriptions of key terms and concepts are included in Item 5. Operating and Financial
Review and Prospects in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2007.
Items You Should Consider When Evaluating Our Results of Operations
Some factors that have affected our historical financial performance or will affect our future
performance are listed below:
|
|
|
Our financial results reflect the results of the interest in vessels acquired from
Teekay Corporation in all periods the vessels were under common control. In April 2008, we
acquired interests in two Kenai LNG vessels, the Arctic Spirit and the Polar Spirit, from
Teekay Corporation and related long-term fixed rate time charter contracts. |
|
|
|
|
This transaction was deemed to be a business acquisition between entities under common
control. Accordingly, we have accounted for these transactions in a manner similar to the
pooling of interest method whereby our financial statements prior to the date the interests
in these vessels were acquired by us are retroactively adjusted to include the results of
these acquired vessels. The periods retroactively adjusted include all periods that we and
the acquired vessels were under the common control of Teekay Corporation and had begun
operations. As a result, our statement of income (loss) for the six months ended June 30,
2008 reflects the results of operations of these two vessels operations, referred to herein
as the Dropdown Predecessor, as if we had acquired them when each respective vessel began
operations under the ownership of Teekay Corporation on December 13 and 14, 2007. |
|
|
|
|
Our financial results reflect the consolidation of Teekay Tangguh and Teekay Nakilat
(III) prior to our purchase of interests in those entities. On November 1, 2006, we entered
into an agreement with Teekay Corporation to purchase (a) its 100% interest in Teekay
Tangguh Holdings Corporation (or Teekay Tangguh), which owns a 70% interest in Teekay BLT
Corporation (or Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture), and (b) its 100% interest in Teekay Nakilat
(III), which owns a 40% interest in the RasGas 3 Joint Venture. Teekay Tangguh Joint
Venture owns two LNG newbuildings (or the Tangguh LNG Carriers) and related 20-year time
charters. RasGas 3 Joint Venture owns the RasGas 3 LNG Carriers and the related 25-year
time charters. The purchase agreement with Teekay Corporation provides that the purchases
will occur upon the delivery of the first newbuildings for the respective projects, which
has occurred for the RasGas 3 Joint Venture and which is scheduled for November 2008 for
the Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture. We have been required to consolidate Teekay Tangguh in
our consolidated financial statements since November 1, 2006, as this entity is a variable
interest entity and we are its primary beneficiary; we likewise consolidated in our
financial statements Teekay Nakilat (III) as a variable interest entity of which we were the
primary beneficiary from November 1, 2006 until we purchased it on May 6, 2008, as described
above. After this purchase, Teekay Nakilat (III) was no longer a variable interest entity
and we now equity account for Teekay Nakilat (III)s investment in the RasGas 3 Joint
Venture in our consolidated financial statements. Please read Item 1 Financial Statements:
Notes 11(f) and 11(g) Related Party Transactions and Note 13(a) Commitments and
Contingencies. |

|
|
|
The size of our fleet
will change. Our historical results of operations reflect changes
in the size and composition of our fleet due to certain vessel deliveries. Please read
Liquefied Gas Segment below for further details about future vessel deliveries. |
|
|
|
|
One of our Suezmax tankers earns revenues based partly on spot market rates. The time
charter for one Suezmax tanker, the Teide Spirit, contains a component providing for
additional revenues to us beyond the fixed hire rate when spot market rates exceed a
certain threshold amount. Accordingly, even though declining spot market rates will not
result in our receiving less than the fixed hire rate, our results may continue to be
influenced, in part, by the variable component of the Teide Spirit charter. |
|
|
|
|
Our vessel operating costs are facing industry-wide cost pressures. The shipping
industry is experiencing a global manpower shortage due to significant growth in the world
fleet. This shortage resulted in crewing wage inflation during 2007 and the first half of
2008, the effect of which is included in the Results of Operations. We expect a trend of
increasing crew compensation during the remainder of 2008. |
We manage our business and analyze and report our results of operations on the basis of two
business segments: the liquefied gas segment and the Suezmax tanker segment.
Liquefied Gas Segment
As of June 30, 2008, our operating fleet included twelve LNG carriers (including the three
delivered RasGas 3 LNG Carriers, which are accounted for under the equity method) and one LPG
carrier. All of our LNG and LPG carriers operate under long-term, fixed-rate time charters. In
addition, we expect our liquefied gas segment to increase due to the following:
|
|
|
As discussed above, on May 6, 2008 we acquired Teekay Corporations 40% interest in the
RasGas3 Joint Venture. Please read Item 1 Financial Statements: Note 13(a) Commitments
and Contingencies. The fourth remaining RasGas 3 LNG Carrier delivered on July 30, 2008.
Please read Item 1 Financial Statements: Note 18 Subsequent Event. |
|
|
|
|
We agreed to acquire upon delivery three LPG carriers (or the Skaugen LNG Carriers)
from Skaugen, for approximately $33.7 million per vessel. The vessels are currently under
construction and are scheduled to deliver between early 2009 and mid-2010. Please read Item
1 Financial Statements: Note 13(b) Commitments and Contingencies. |
|
|
|
|
As discussed above, we agreed to acquire upon delivery two Multigas carriers (or
the Skaugen Multigas Carriers) from Teekay Corporation for a total cost of approximately
$94 million. The vessels are scheduled to deliver during the first half of 2010. Please
read item 1 Financial Statements: Note 13 (c) Commitments and Contingencies. |
|
|
|
|
As discussed above, Teekay Corporation is required to offer to us its 33% ownership
interest in the consortium relating to the Angola LNG Project not later than 180 days
before delivery of the related four newbuilding LNG carriers. Please read Item 1
Financial Statements: Note 17 Other Information. |

We operated twelve and seven LNG carriers during the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and June
30, 2007, respectively. During 2007, we took delivery of two LNG carriers (the RasGas II LNG
Carriers) in January and February 2007, respectively (collectively, the 2007 RasGas II Deliveries)
as well as one LPG carrier, the Dania Spirit, in January 2007. On April 1, 2008, we purchased the
two Kenai LNG Carriers from Teekay Corporation, the Arctic Spirit and the Polar Spirit, however, as
they are included as a Dropdown Predecessor, they have been included in our results as if they were
acquired on December 13 and 14, 2007, respectively, when they began operations under the ownership
of Teekay Corporation. As well, we took delivery of three of the RasGas 3 LNG Carriers on May 6,
June 12, and June 30, 2008, respectively. Our total calendar-ship-days increased for the six months
ended June 30, 2008, primarily due to the purchase of the Kenai LNG Carriers as well as the full
operation in the first quarter of 2008 of the two RasGas II LNG Carriers, which were delivered and
partially operated under their 20-year fixed-rate charters in the first quarter of 2007.
During February 2008 our LNG carrier, the Catalunya Spirit, incurred approximately 5.5 days of
offhire due to the loss of propulsion. The cost of the repairs was approximately $0.7 million and
we recovered $0.5 million under a protection and indemnity policy. The vessel has been repaired and
resumed normal operations.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, two LNG carriers, the Catalunya Spirit and the Polar
Spirit, and our LPG carrier, the Dania Spirit, were off-hire for 34.3 days, 18.5 days and 15.5
days, respectively, for scheduled drydocks. The Galicia Spirit was also off-hire for 2 days
relating to the replacement of its dome rings.
Net Voyage Revenues. Net voyage revenues increased for the three and six months ended June 30,
2008, from the same periods last year, primarily as a result of:
|
|
|
increases of $8.9 million and $19.1 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008 from the purchase of the two Kenai vessels on April 1, 2008; |
|
|
|
|
an increase of $5.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 due to the 2007
RasGas II Deliveries during the first quarter of 2007; |
|
|
|
|
increases of $2.5 million and $5.4 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008, due to the effect on our Euro-denominated revenues from the strengthening of
the Euro against the U.S. Dollar during such periods compared to the same periods last
year; and |
|
|
|
|
relative increases of $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008, due to the Madrid Spirit being off-hire 4.2 days and 7 days for
repairs for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007; |
partially offset by:
|
|
|
decreases of $2.6 million and $3.1 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008, due to the Catalunya Spirit being off-hire for 34.3 days during 2008 for a
scheduled drydock; and |
|
|
|
|
decreases of $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008, due to the Dania Spirit being off-hire for 15.5 days during 2008 for a
scheduled drydock. |
Page 28 of 40
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008, from the same periods last year, primarily as a result of:
|
|
|
increases of $3.2 million and $6.2 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008 from the purchase of the two Kenai LNG Carriers on April 1, 2008; |
|
|
|
|
increases of $1.2 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30,
2008, due to the effect on our Euro-denominated vessel operating expenses from the
strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar during such period compared to the
same periods last year (a majority of our vessel operating expenses are denominated in
Euros, which is primarily a function of the nationality of our crew; our
Euro-denominated revenues currently generally approximate our Euro-denominated expenses
and Euro-denominated loan and interest payments.); |
|
|
|
|
increases of $1.0 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008, relating to higher crew manning costs and repairs and maintenance costs; and |
|
|
|
|
increases of $0.6 million and $1.6 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008, relating to RasGas II LNG Carriers, which incurred higher crew manning costs
during the second quarter of 2008 offset by the carriers that delivered during the
first quarter of 2007; |
partially offset by
|
|
|
a relative decrease of $1.6 million from crew training costs for the six months
ended June 30, 2008 relating to crew training costs incurred in connection with
delivery of the two RasGas II LNG Carriers that delivered in the first quarter of
2007; and |
|
|
|
|
relative decreases of $0.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30,
2008, relating to the cost of the repairs completed on the Madrid Spirit during the
second quarter of 2007 net of estimated insurance recoveries. |
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2008, from the same periods last year, primarily as a result of the
purchase of two Kenai LNG Carriers in April 2008.
Suezmax Tanker Segment
We have eight Suezmax-class, double-hulled conventional crude oil tankers. All of our Suezmax
tankers operate under long-term, fixed-rate time charters.
The following table compares our Suezmax tanker segments operating results for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2008 and June 30, 2007, and compares its net voyage revenues (which is a

Includes direct general and administrative expenses and indirect general and administrative
expenses allocated to each segment based on estimated use of corporate resources. |
We operated eight Suezmax tankers during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and,
therefore, our total calendar-ship-days remained virtually the same for comparable periods.
Net Voyage Revenues. Net voyage revenues decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008
from the same periods last year, primarily as a result of:
|
|
|
decreases of $22.3 million and $26.4 million for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008, relating to the change in fair value of a derivative relating to the
agreement between us and Teekay Corporation for the Toledo Spirit time
charter contract. We have not designated this derivative as a hedge and as such the
change in fair value is reflected in voyage revenues in our consolidated statements of
income (loss); |
|
|
|
|
decreases of $1.0 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008, relating to revenues earned by the Teide Spirit; |
|
|
|
|
decreases of $0.8 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008, due to inflation and interest-rate adjustments to the daily charter rates
under the time charter contracts for five Suezmax tankers (however, under the terms of
these capital leases, we had corresponding decreases in our lease payments, which are
reflected as decreases to interest expense; therefore, these and future interest rate
adjustments do not and will not affect our cash flow or net income); |
|
|
|
|
decreases of $0.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, due to
the African Spirit being off-hire for 26 days during 2008 for a scheduled drydock; and |
|
|
|
|
decreases of $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, due to
the European Spirit being off-hire for 24 days during 2008 for a scheduled drydock. |
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2008, from the same periods last year, primarily as a result of:
|
|
|
increases of $1.0 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008, relating to higher crew manning, insurance, and repairs and maintenance
costs; and |
|
|
|
|
increases of $0.7 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008, due to the effect on our Euro-denominated vessel operating expenses from the
strengthening of the Euro against the U.S. Dollar during such period compared to the
same periods last year (a majority of our vessel operating expenses are denominated in
Euros, which is primarily a function of the nationality of our crew; our
Euro-denominated revenues currently generally approximate our Euro-denominated
expenses and Euro-denominated loan and interest payments.) |
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months
ended June 30, 2008 decreased from the same period last year, primarily as a result of a decrease
due to an increase in salvage value estimates on our Suezmax tanker fleet.
Page 30 of 40
Other Operating Results
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $5.7 million
and $10.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, from $3.8 million and $7.3
million for the same periods last year. These increases were primarily the result of annual cost of
living increases in salaries and benefits, long term incentive plan accruals as well as additional
ship management services provided to us by Teekay Corporation subsidiaries relating to the delivery
of the RasGas II LNG Carriers and the purchase of the Kenai LNG Carriers.
Interest (Expense) Gain.
Interest (expense) gain increased to $40.4 million for the three months ended
June 30, 2008 and interest expense increased to $(65.1) million for the six months ended June 30,
2008, respectively, from interest gains of $27.7 million and $2.8 million for the same periods last
year. Interest (expense) gain primarily reflects interest incurred on our capital lease obligations
and long-term debt as well as the fair value changes related to our interest rate swap agreements.
These changes were primarily the result of:
|
|
|
a decrease of $12.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, relating to
the change in fair value of our interest rate swaps; |
|
|
|
|
decreases of $1.0 million and $1.3 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008, from declining interest rates on our five Suezmax tanker capital lease
obligations (however, as described above, under the terms of the time charter
contracts for these vessels, we received corresponding decreases in charter payments,
which are reflected as a decrease to voyage revenues); |
|
|
|
|
decreases of $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2008, from the scheduled loan payments on the Catalunya Spirit,
and scheduled capital lease repayments on the Madrid Spirit (the Madrid Spirit is
financed pursuant to a Spanish tax lease arrangement, under which we borrowed under a
term loan and deposited the proceeds into a restricted cash account and entered into a
capital lease for the vessel; as a result, this decrease in interest expense from the
capital lease is offset by a corresponding decrease in the interest income from
restricted cash); |
|
|
|
|
a decrease of $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 relating to the
repayment of debt incurred to finance the acquisition of Teekay Nakilat and the Dania
Spirit; and |
|
|
|
|
decreases of $0.4 million and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008, relating to the increase in capital lease obligations in connection with the
delivery of the RasGas II LNG Carriers; |
partially offset by
|
|
|
an increase of $62.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, relating to
the change in fair value of our interest rate swaps; |
|
|
|
|
an increase of $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 relating to debt
incurred to finance the Kenai acquisition; |
|
|
|
|
increases of $1.7 million and $4.9 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008, relating to debt of Teekay Nakilat (III) used by the RasGas 3 Joint Venture
to fund shipyard construction installment payments (as indicated below, this increase
in interest expense is offset by a corresponding increase in interest income from
advances to the joint venture); and |
|
|
|
|
increases of $1.2 million and $2.2 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008, due to the effect on our Euro-denominated debt from the strengthening of the
Euro against the U.S. Dollar during such period compared to the same period last year. |
We have not designated our interest rate swaps as hedges and as such change in fair value of the
swaps are reflected in interest expense in our consolidated statements of income (loss).
Interest Income (Loss). Interest income (loss) decreased to $(6.0) million for the three months
ended June 30, 2008 from $36.8 million for the same period last year. Interest loss increased to
$9.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $0.1 million for the same period last
year. Interest income primarily reflects interest earned on restricted cash deposits that
approximate the present value of the remaining amounts we owe under lease arrangements on four of
our LNG carriers, as well as the fair value changes related to our interest rate swap agreements.
These changes were primarily the result of:
|
|
|
increases of $3.9 million and $34.1 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008 relating to the change in fair value of our non-designated RasGas II
defeasance deposit interest rate swaps; |
|
|
|
|
increases of $0.7 million and $3.8 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008, relating to interest-bearing advances made by us to the RasGas 3 Joint
Venture for shipyard construction installment payments; |
|
|
|
|
increases of $0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008,
relating to the interest earned on the refund of the re-investment tax credit received
in the second quarter of 2008; and |
|
|
|
|
increases of $0.3 million and $0.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30,
2008, due to the effect on our Euro-denominated deposits from the strengthening of the
Euro against the U.S. Dollar during such period compared to the same period last year; |
partially offset by
|
|
|
decreases of $1.1 million and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June
30, 2008, relating to a decrease in restricted cash used to fund capital lease
payments for the RasGas II LNG Carriers. |

Foreign Currency Exchange (Losses) Gains. Foreign currency exchange losses were nominal and $33.9
million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, compared with losses of $5.7 million and
$10.5 million for the same periods last year. These foreign currency exchange losses, substantially
all of which were unrealized, are due substantially to the relevant period-end revaluation of
Euro-denominated term loans for financial reporting purposes. Losses reflect a weaker U.S. Dollar
against the Euro on the date of revaluation. Gains reflect a stronger U.S. Dollar against the Euro
on the date of revaluation.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and Cash Needs
As at June 30, 2008, our cash and cash equivalents was $78.8 million, compared to $91.9 million at
December 31, 2007 (of which $25.9 million (2007 $54.4 million) is only available to the Teekay
Tangguh Joint Venture). Our total liquidity including cash, cash equivalents and undrawn long-term
borrowings, was $583.2 million as at June 30, 2008, compared to $522.9 million as at December 31,
2007. The increase in liquidity was primarily the result of our equity offerings in April 2008
which generated net proceeds of $202.5 million, our establishing a new $172.5 million revolving
facility in June 2008, partially offset by the purchase of the two Kenai LNG Carriers and a partial
repayment made on the promissory note due to Teekay Corporation for the purchase of Teekay Nakilat
(III).
Our primary short-term liquidity needs are to pay quarterly distributions on our outstanding units
and to fund general working capital requirements and drydocking expenditures, while our long-term
liquidity needs primarily relate to expansion and maintenance capital expenditures and debt
repayment. Expansion capital expenditures primarily represent the purchase or construction of
vessels to the extent the expenditures increase the operating capacity or revenue generated by our
fleet, while maintenance capital expenditures primarily consist of drydocking expenditures and
expenditures to replace vessels in order to maintain the operating capacity or revenue generated by
our fleet. We anticipate that our primary sources of funds for our short-term liquidity needs will
be cash flows from operations, while our long-term sources of funds will be from cash from
operations, long-term bank borrowings and other debt or equity financings, or a combination
thereof.
On April 1, 2008, we acquired the two Kenai LNG Carriers from Teekay Corporation for a total cost
of $230.0 million. This acquisition was financed with the proceeds from our equity offerings in
April 2008 as well as borrowings under one of our revolving credit facilities. Please read Item 1
Financial Statements: Note 3 Public Offering and Note 11(k) Related Party Transactions. On May
6, 2008, with the delivery of the first of the four RasGas 3 LNG Carriers, Teekay Corporation sold
to us its 100% interest in Teekay Nakilat (III), which owns a 40% interest in RasGas 3 Joint
Venture. The estimated purchase price of $110 million is subject to refinement upon determination
of the final construction costs of all four LNG carriers. This purchase was financed using one of
our revolving credit facilities. Please read Item 1 Financial Statements: Note 11(g) Related
Party Transactions.
We
will need to use certain of our available liquidity or we may need to raise additional capital
to finance existing capital commitments. We are required to purchase five of our Suezmax tankers,
currently on capital lease arrangements, at various times from late-2008 to 2011. We anticipate
that we will purchase these tankers by assuming the outstanding financing obligations that relate
to them. However, we may be required to obtain separate debt or equity financing to complete the
purchases if the lenders do not consent to our assuming the financing obligations. In addition, we
are committed to acquiring Teekay Corporations 70% interest in the Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture,
the three Skaugen LPG Carriers and the two Skaugen Multigas Carriers.
These additional purchase commitments, which are scheduled to
occur in 2008, 2009 and 2010 total $280.1 million. These purchases will be financed with one of our
existing revolving credit facilities, incremental debt, surplus cash balances, proceeds from the
issuance of additional common units, or combinations thereof. Please read Item 1 Financial
Statements: Note 13 Commitments and Contingencies.

Operating Cash Flows. Net cash flow from operating activities increased to $65.3 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2008, from $42.7 million for the same period in 2007, primarily
reflecting the increase in operating cash flows from the purchase of the two Kenai LNG Carriers in
April 2008, and the timing of our cash receipts and payments, offset by an increase of $7.7 million
in expenditures for drydocking. Net cash flow from operating activities depends upon the timing and
amount of drydocking expenditures, repairs and maintenance activity, vessel additions and
dispositions, foreign currency rates, changes in interest rates, fluctuations in working capital
balances and spot market hire rates (to the extent we have vessels operating in the spot tanker
market or our hire rates are partially affected by spot market rates). The number of vessel
drydockings tends to be uneven between years.
Page 32 of 40
Financing Cash Flows. Our investments in vessels and equipment have been financed primarily with
term loans and capital lease arrangements. Proceeds from long-term debt were $615.8 million and
$653.2 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007. During the six
months ended June 30, 2008, we used these funds primarily to fund LNG newbuilding construction
payments in the Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture. From time to time we refinance our loans and
revolving credit facilities.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture received net proceeds of
$73.6 million from long-term debt borrowings and received $0.6 million from its other joint venture
partner, which were used to fund LNG newbuilding construction payments. Please read Item 1
Financial Statements: Note 13(a) Commitments and Contingencies.
On April 23, 2008, we completed a follow-on public offering of 5.0 million common units at a price
of $28.75 per unit for gross proceeds of approximately $143.8 million. On May 8, 2008, the
underwriters partially exercised their over-allotment option and purchased an additional 375,000
common units for an additional $10.8 million in gross proceeds to us. Concurrently with the public
offering, Teekay Corporation acquired 1.7 million of our common units at the same public offering
price for a total cost of $50.0 million. We used the net proceeds from the equity offerings of
approximately $202.5 million (including our General Partners proportionate 2% capital
contribution) to reduce amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facilities which were used
to fund the acquisitions of the Kenai LNG Carriers and our interests in the RasGas 3 LNG Carriers
described above. Please read Item 1 Financial Statements: Note 3 Public Offering.
Cash distributions paid during the first half of 2008 increased to $45.0 million from $33.0 million
for the same period last year. This increase was the result of:
|
|
|
a change in our quarterly distribution from $0.4625 per unit in the second quarter of
2007 to $0.55 per unit in the third quarter of 2007; and |
|
|
|
|
an increase in the number of units eligible to receive the cash distribution as a result
of the public offering and private placement of common units during the second quarter of
2008. |
Subsequent to June 30, 2008, cash distributions totaling $25.7 million were declared with respect
to the second quarter of 2008, which were paid on August 14, 2008.
In January 2007, we acquired a 2000-built LPG carrier, the Dania Spirit, from Teekay Corporation
and the related long-term, fixed-rate time charter for a purchase price of approximately $18.5
million. The purchase was financed with one of our revolving credit facilities. Since this
ownership interest was purchased from Teekay Corporation, a transaction between entities under
common control, it has been accounted for at historical cost. Also, as this is included as a
Dropdown Predecessor, it has been included for accounting purposes in our results as if it was
acquired on April 1, 2003, when it was acquired by Teekay Corporation. The amount of the
distribution paid to Teekay Corporation relating to the purchase of the Dania Spirit is reflected
as a financing cash flow. Please read Item 1 Financial Statements: Note 11(k) Related Party
Transactions and Note 19 Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements.
During April 2008, we purchased the two Kenai LNG Carriers from Teekay Corporation for a total cost
of $230.0 million, and immediately chartered the vessels back to Teekay Corporation for a period of
10 years (plus options exercisable by Teekay to extend up to an additional 15 years). Since these
ownership interests were purchased from Teekay Corporation, a transaction between entities under
common control, they have been accounted for at historical cost. Also, as these vessels were
included as a Dropdown Predecessor, they have been included for accounting purposes in our results
as if they were acquired in December 2007, when they were acquired by Teekay Corporation. The
amount of the distribution paid to Teekay Corporation relating to the purchase of the two Kenai LNG
Carriers is reflected as a financing cash flow. These charters are expected to generate
approximately $27 million per annum in operating cash flow to us. Please read Item 1 Financial
Statements: Note 11(k) Related Party Transactions.
Investing Cash Flows. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, Teekay Nakilat (III) advanced
$211.5 million to the RasGas 3 Joint Venture. These advances, which were used by the RasGas 3 Joint
Venture to fund LNG newbuilding construction payments, were primarily funded with long-term debt.
During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we incurred $83.1 million in expenditures for vessels
and equipment. These expenditures represent construction payments for the Teekay Tangguh Joint
Ventures two LNG carrier newbuildings.
In
April 2008, we received $5.4 million relating to its Spanish re-investment tax
credit. Please read Item 1 Financial Statements: Note 16 Income Taxes.
In June 2008, the Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture, returned $19.6 million of its contributed capital
back to Teekay Corporation. Please read Item 1 Financial Statements: Note 11(f) Related Party
Transactions.
Upon the delivery of the first RasGas 3 LNG Carrier in May 2008, we acquired Teekay Nakilat (III),
which owns a 40% interest in the four RasGas 3 LNG Carriers, from Teekay Corporation for an
estimated purchase price of $110 million, of which we paid $49.1 million in June 2008. Since this
ownership interest was purchased from Teekay Corporation, the transaction was between entities
under common control and has been accounted for at historical cost. Therefore, the amount
reflected as cash used in investing activities for this purchase represents the historical cost of
Teekay Corporation. The excess of the purchase price over the contributed basis of Teekay Nakilat
(III) has been reflected as a financing cash flow. Please read Item 1 Financial Statements: Note
11(g) Related Party Transactions.
Page 33 of 40
During 2006, we acquired a 70% interest in Teekay Nakilat for approximately $102.0 million, of
which we paid $26.9 million in 2006. During the first and second half of 2007, we borrowed under
our revolving credit facilities and paid an additional $53.7 million and $21.4 million,
respectively, towards the purchase price. Since this ownership interest was purchased from Teekay
Corporation, the transaction was between entities under common control, and has been accounted for
at historical cost. Therefore, the amount reflected as cash used in investing activities for this
purchase represents the historical cost of Teekay Corporation. The excess of the purchase price
over the contributed basis of Teekay Nakilat has been reflected as a financing cash flow.
Please read Item 1 Financial Statements: Note 11(h) Related Party Transactions.
Credit Facilities
As at June 30, 2008, we had three long-term revolving credit facilities available which provided
for borrowings of up to $604.4 million, of which $504.4 million was undrawn. The amount available
under the credit facilities reduces by $15.3 million (second half of 2008), $31.0 million (2009),
$31.6 million (2010), $32.2 million (2011), $32.9 million (2012) and $461.4 million (thereafter).
Interest payments are based on LIBOR plus a margin. All revolving credit facilities may be used by
us to fund General Partnership purposes and to fund cash distributions. We are required to reduce
all borrowings used to fund cash distributions to zero for a period of at least 15 consecutive days
during any 12-month period. The revolving credit facilities are collateralized by first-priority
mortgages granted on seven of our vessels, together with other related collateral, and include a
guarantee from us or our subsidiaries of all outstanding amounts.
We have a U.S. Dollar-denominated term loan outstanding, which, as at June 30, 2008, totaled $434.0
million, of which $265.8 million of the term loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.39% and has
quarterly payments that reduce over time. The remaining $168.2 million bears interest based on
LIBOR plus a margin and will require bullet repayments of approximately $56 million for each of the
three vessels due at maturity in 2018 and 2019. The term loan is collateralized by first-priority
mortgages on the vessels, together with certain other related collateral and guarantees from us.
We have a U.S. Dollar-denominated term loan outstanding, which, as at June 30, 2008, totaled $808.1
million, of which $329.6 million bears interest at a fixed rate of 5.36% and requires quarterly
payments. The remaining $478.5 million bears interest based on LIBOR plus a margin and will require
bullet repayments of approximately $110 million for each of the three vessels and approximately $75
million for a fourth vessel due at maturity in 2020. Following delivery of each of the vessels,
another tranche (totaling approximately $35 million) will each be advanced under the loan facility
in quarterly installments until 2014 and will then be repaid in quarterly payments until maturity
in 2020.
The term loan
is collateralized by first-priority mortgages on the vessels, together with certain other related
collateral and guarantees from us.
Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture has a loan facility, which, as at June 30, 2008, provided for
borrowings of up to $392.0 million, of which $111.2 million was undrawn. Prior to delivery of the
two Tangguh LNG Carriers, interest payments on the loan are based on LIBOR plus margins. At June
30, 2008, the margins ranged between 0.30% and 0.80%. Following delivery of the vessels, interest
payments on one tranche under the loan facility will be based on LIBOR plus 0.30%, while interest
payments on the second tranche will be based on LIBOR plus 0.625%. Commencing three months after
delivery of each vessel, one tranche (total value of $324.5 million) reduces in quarterly payments
while the other tranche (total value of up to $190.0 million) correspondingly is drawn up with a
final $95 million bullet payment per vessel due at the end of the twelve-year term. This loan
facility is collateralized by first-priority mortgages on the vessels to which the loan relates,
together with certain other collateral and is guaranteed by Teekay Corporation. Upon transfer of
the ownership of Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture from Teekay Corporation to us, the rights and
obligations of Teekay Corporation under the guarantee, may, upon the fulfillment of certain
conditions, be transferred to us.
We have a U.S. Dollar-denominated demand loan outstanding owing to Teekay Nakilats joint venture
partner, which, as at June 30, 2008, totaled $15.8 million, including accrued interest. Interest
payments on this loan, which are based on a fixed interest rate of 4.84%, commenced February 2008.
The loan is repayable on demand no earlier than February 27, 2027.
We have two Euro-denominated term loans outstanding, which, as at June 30, 2008 totaled 300.4
million Euros ($473.3 million). These loans were used to make restricted cash deposits that fully
fund payments under capital leases. Interest payments are based on EURIBOR plus margins. The term
loans have varying maturities through 2023 and monthly payments that reduce over time. These loans
are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on the vessels to which the loans relate, together
with certain other related collateral and guarantees from one of our subsidiaries.
The weighted-average effective interest rates for our long-term debt outstanding at June 30, 2008
and December 31, 2007 were 4.4% and 5.5%, respectively. These rates do not reflect the effect of
related interest rate swaps that we have used to hedge certain of our floating-rate debt. At June
30, 2008, the margins on our long-term debt ranged from 0.3% to 0.9%.
Our term loans and revolving credit facilities contain covenants and other restrictions typical of
debt financing secured by vessels, including, but not limited to, one or more of the following that
restrict the ship-owning subsidiaries from:
|
|
|
incurring or guaranteeing indebtedness; |
|
|
|
|
changing ownership or structure, including mergers, consolidations, liquidations and
dissolutions; |
|
|
|
|
making dividends or distributions if we are in default; |
|
|
|
|
making capital expenditures in excess of specified levels; |
|
|
|
|
making certain negative pledges and granting certain liens; |
|
|
|
|
selling, transferring, assigning or conveying assets; |
|
|
|
|
making certain loans and investments; and |
|
|
|
|
entering into a new line of business. |
Certain loan agreements require that minimum levels of tangible net worth and aggregate liquidity
be maintained, provide for a maximum level of leverage and require one of our subsidiaries to
maintain restricted cash deposits. Our ship-owning subsidiaries may not, in addition to other
things, pay dividends or distributions if we are in default under our loan agreements and revolving
credit facilities. Our capital leases do not contain financial or restrictive covenants other than
those relating to operation and maintenance of the vessels. As at June 30, 2008, we were in
compliance with all covenants in our credit facilities and capital leases.

Excludes expected interest payments of $33.1 million (second half of 2008), $122.2 million
(2009 and 2010), $106.8 million (2011 and 2012) and $256.5 million (beyond 2012). Expected
interest payments are based on the existing interest rates (fixed-rate loans) and LIBOR at
June 30, 2008, plus margins that ranged up to 0.9% (variable-rate loans). The expected
interest payments do not reflect the effect of related interest rate swaps that we have used
as an economic hedge of certain of our floating-rate debt. |
|
(2) |
|
Includes, in addition to lease payments, amounts we are required to pay to purchase certain
leased vessels at the end of the lease terms. We are obligated to purchase five of our
existing Suezmax tankers upon the termination of the related capital leases, which will occur
at various times from late-2009 to 2011. The purchase price will be based on the unamortized
portion of the vessel construction financing costs for the vessels, which we expect to range
from $35.6 million to $39.2 million per vessel. We expect to satisfy the purchase price by
assuming the existing vessel financing. We are also obligated to purchase one of our existing
LNG carriers upon the termination of the related capital leases on December 31, 2011. The
purchase obligation has been fully funded with restricted cash deposits. Please read Item 1
Financial Statements: Note 5 Leases and Restricted Cash. |
|
(3) |
|
Existing restricted cash deposits of $487.3 million, together with the interest earned on the
deposits, will be sufficient to repay the remaining amounts we currently owe under the lease
arrangements. |
|
(4) |
|
On November 1, 2006, we entered into an agreement with Teekay Corporation to purchase its 70%
interest in Teekay Tangguh. The Teekay Tangguh Joint Venture owns two LNG newbuildings. The
purchase will occur upon the delivery of the first newbuilding, which is scheduled for
November 2008. Please read Item 1 Financial Statements: Note 11(f) Related Party
Transactions and Note 13(a) Commitments and Contingencies. |
|
|
|
We acquired from Teekay Corporation its 40% interest in the four RasGas 3 LNG Carriers upon the
delivery of the first vessel on May 6, 2008. The estimated purchase price is $110 million, of
which $49.1 million was paid in June 2008. Please read Item 1 Financial Statements: Note 11(g)
Related Party Transactions. |
|
|
|
In December 2006, we entered into an agreement to acquire the three Skaugen LPG Carriers from
Skaugen, for approximately $33.7 million per vessel upon their deliveries scheduled between
early-2009 and mid-2010. In May 2008, we agreed to acquire two Multigas carriers from I.M. Skaugen ASA
for a total cost of approximately $94 million upon their delivery in the first half of 2010.
Please read Item 1 Financial Statements: Note 13(b) Commitments and Contingencies. |
|
(5) |
|
Euro-denominated obligations are presented in U.S. Dollars and have been converted using the
prevailing exchange rate as of June 30, 2008. |
|
(6) |
|
Excludes expected interest payments of $12.0 million (second half of 2008), $46.4 million
(2009 and 2010), $25.6 million (2011 and 2012) and $67.2 million (beyond 2012). Expected
interest payments are based on EURIBOR at June 30, 2008, plus margins that ranged up to 0.66%,
as well as the prevailing U.S. Dollar/Euro exchange rate as of June 30, 2008. The expected
interest payments do not reflect the effect of related interest rate swaps that we have used
as an economic hedge of certain of our floating-rate debt. |
|
(7) |
|
Existing restricted cash deposits of $198.4 million, together with the interest earned on the
deposits, will equal the remaining amounts we owe under the lease arrangement, including our
obligation to purchase the vessel at the end of the lease term. |

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have, a current or
future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or
expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which require us to make
estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on our best assumptions, judgments
and opinions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions,
estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly
and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined
with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such
differences could be material. Accounting estimates and assumptions that we consider to be the most
critical to an understanding of our financial statements, because they inherently involve
significant judgments and uncertainties, can be found in Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and
Prospects in our Annual Report on Form 20-F/A for the year ended December 31, 2007.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Report on Form 6-K for the six months ended June 30, 2008 contains certain forward-looking
statements (as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) concerning future
events and our operations, performance and financial condition, including, in particular,
statements regarding:
|
|
|
our future financial condition; |
|
|
|
|
results of operations and revenues and expenses; |
|
|
|
|
LNG, LPG and tanker market fundamentals; |
|
|
|
|
future capital expenditures and availability of capital resources to fund capital
expenditures; |
|
|
|
|
offers of vessels and associated contracts to us from Teekay Corporation; |
|
|
|
|
delivery dates of newbuildings; |
|
|
|
|
the commencement of service of newbuildings under long-term contracts and of LNG
and LPG projects; |
|
|
|
|
our liquidity needs; and |
|
|
|
|
the expected timing, amount and method of financing for the purchase of joint
venture interests and vessels, including our five Suezmax tankers operated pursuant to
capital leases. |
Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, any statement that may predict, forecast,
indicate or imply future results, performance or achievements, and may contain the words
believe, anticipate, expect, estimate, project, will be, will continue, will likely
result, plan, intend or words or phrases of similar meanings. These statements involve known
and unknown risks and are based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that are inherently
subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control.
Actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include, but
are not limited to: changes in production of LNG, LPG or oil; greater or less than anticipated
levels of vessel newbuilding orders or greater or less than anticipated rates of vessel scrapping;
changes in trading patterns; changes in applicable industry laws and regulations and the timing of
implementation of new laws and regulations; LNG or LPG infrastructure constraints and community
and environmental group resistance to new LNG or LPG infrastructure; potential development of
active short-term or spot LNG or LPG shipping markets; potential inability to implement our growth
strategy; competitive factors in the markets in which we operate; potential for early termination
of long-term contracts and our potential inability to renew or replace long-term contracts; loss
of any customer, time charter or vessel; shipyard production or vessel delivery delays; changes in
tax regulations; our potential inability to raise financing to purchase additional vessels; our
exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations; conditions in the public equity markets; LNG or
LPG project delays or abandonment; and other factors detailed from time to time in our periodic
reports filed with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 20-F/A for the year ended December
31, 2007. We do not intend to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking
statements contained herein to reflect any change in our expectations with respect thereto or any
change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statement is based.

JUNE 30, 2008
PART I FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Item 3 QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our borrowings that
require us to make interest payments based on LIBOR or EURIBOR. Significant increases in interest
rates could adversely affect our operating margins, results of operations and our ability to
service our debt. We use interest rate swaps to reduce our exposure to market risk from changes in
interest rates. The principal objective of these contracts is to minimize the risks and costs
associated with our floating-rate debt.
In order to minimize counterparty risk, we only enter into derivative transactions with
counterparties that are rated A or better by Standard & Poors or Aa3 by Moodys at the time of
the transactions. In addition, to the extent possible and practical, interest rate swaps are
entered into with different counterparties to reduce concentration risk.
The table below provides information about our financial instruments at June 30, 2008, that are
sensitive to changes in interest rates. For long-term debt and capital lease obligations, the
table presents principal payments and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity
dates. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional amounts and weighted-average interest
rates by expected contractual maturity dates.

Rate refers to the weighted-average effective interest rate for our long-term debt and
capital lease obligations, including the margin we pay on our floating-rate debt and the
average fixed pay rate for our interest rate swap agreements. The average interest rate for
our capital lease obligations is the weighted-average interest rate implicit in our lease
obligations at the inception of the leases. The average fixed pay rate for our interest rate
swaps excludes the margin we pay on our floating-rate debt, which as of June 30, 2008 ranged
from 0.5% to 0.9%. Please read Item 1 Financial Statements: Note 8 Long-term Debt. |

Interest payments on U.S. Dollar-denominated debt and interest rate swaps are based on
LIBOR. |
|

Excludes capital lease obligations (present value of minimum lease payments) of 123.4
million Euros ($194.5 million) on one of our existing LNG carriers with a weighted-average
fixed interest rate of 5.8%. Under the terms of this fixed-rate lease obligation, we are
required to have on deposit, subject to a weighted-average fixed interest rate of 5.0%, an
amount of cash that, together with the interest earned thereon, will fully fund the amount
owing under the capital lease obligation, including a vessel purchase obligation. As at June
30, 2008, this amount was 125.9 million Euros ($198.4 million). Consequently, we are not
subject to interest rate risk from these obligations or deposits. |

Under the terms of the capital leases for the RasGas II LNG Carriers (see Item 1
Financial Statements: Note 5 Leases and Restricted Cash), we are required to have on
deposit, subject to a variable rate of interest, an amount of cash that, together with
interest earned on the deposit, will equal the remaining amounts owing under the
variable-rate leases. The deposits, which as at June 30, 2008 totaled $487.3 million, and the
lease obligations, which as at June 30, 2008 totaled $469.2 million, have been swapped for
fixed-rate deposits and fixed-rate obligations. Consequently, Teekay Nakilat is not subject
to interest rate risk from these obligations and deposits and, therefore, the lease
obligations, cash deposits and related interest rate swaps have been excluded from the table
above. As at June 30, 2008, the contract amount, fair value and fixed interest rates of these
interest rate swaps related to Teekay Nakilats capital lease obligations and restricted cash
deposits were $492.0 million and $479.1 million, ($4.5) million and $1.7 million, and 4.9%
and 4.8% respectively. |

The amount of capital lease obligations represents the present value of minimum lease
payments together with our purchase obligation, as applicable. |
|

The average interest rate is the weighted-average interest rate implicit in the capital
lease obligations at the inception of the leases. |
|

|
The average variable receive rate for our U.S. Dollar-denominated interest rate swaps is
set quarterly at 3-month LIBOR. |
|
(10) |
|
The average variable receive rate for our Euro-denominated interest rate swaps is set
monthly at 1-month EURIBOR. |
Spot Market Rate Risk
One of our Suezmax tankers, the Toledo Spirit operates pursuant to a time-charter contract that
increases or decreases the otherwise fixed rate established in the charter, depending on the spot
charter rates that we would have earned had we traded the vessel in the spot tanker market. The
remaining term of the time-charter contract is 17 years, although the charterer has the right to
terminate the time charter in July 2018. We have entered into an agreement with Teekay Corporation
under which Teekay Corporation pays us any amounts payable to the charterer as a result of spot
rates being below the fixed rate, and we pay Teekay Corporation any amounts payable to us from the
charterer as a result of spot rates being in excess of the fixed rate. At June 30, 2008, the fair
value of this derivative liability was $27.9 million and has been reported in voyage revenues.
