Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On November 2, 2005, TC PipeLines, LP (the Partnership) issued a press release announcing financial results for the Partnerships third quarter 2005 earnings. A copy of the press release is furnished with this report as Exhibit 99.1, and is incorporated herein by reference. The press release discloses a financial measure, including cash generated from investments.
The information in this report is being furnished, not filed, pursuant to Item 2.02 of Form 8-K. Accordingly, the information in this report, including the press release, will not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement filed by the Partnership under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically identified therein as being incorporated therein by reference.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Northern Border Pipeline has advised that the projections for transportation demand on its interstate natural gas pipeline assume:
Canadian natural gas supply will remain steady and import levels will be similar in 2006 as in 2005.
The anticipated natural gas price differential during the upcoming April and May shoulder months compared to the 2006-07 winter heating season are expected to impact demand for Northern Border Pipeline transportation capacity again in 2006.
Northern Border Pipeline is likely to again experience seasonal fluctuations in throughput during 2006 and some discounting may be required to maximize revenue.
Northern Border Pipelines Chicago III expansion project goes into service in April 2006.
Based on those assumptions, Northern Border Pipeline has published the following table which represents a forecast of Northern Border Pipeline contracting and corresponding revenue for the remainder of the current year, along with 2006. Included for comparison purposes are actual contracting results and revenue for 2004.

Forward-Looking Statement
The statements above that are not historical information are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although Northern Border Pipeline believes that its expectations regarding future events are based on reasonable assumptions within the bounds of its knowledge of its business, Northern Border Pipeline advised that it can give no assurance that its goals will be achieved or that its expectations regarding future developments will be realized. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements herein include:
the impact of unsold capacity on Northern Border Pipeline being greater than expected;
the ability to market pipeline capacity on favorable terms, which is affected by:
future demand for and prices of natural gas;
competitive conditions in the overall natural gas and electricity markets;
availability of supplies of Canadian natural gas;
availability of additional storage capacity; weather conditions; and
competitive developments by Canadian and U.S. natural gas transmission peers;
performance of contractual obligations by the shippers;
political and regulatory developments that impact Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, proceedings involving
interstate pipelines and the interstate pipelines success in sustaining their positions in such proceedings;
the ability to recover costs of property, plant and equipment and regulatory assets in its rates;
developments in the December 2, 2001 filing by Enron of a voluntary petition for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 11 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code affecting its settled claims;
acts of nature, sabotage, terrorism or other similar acts causing damage to its facilities.

NewsRelease
TC PipeLines, LP Announces 2005 Third Quarter Results
CALGARY, Alberta November 2, 2005 (Nasdaq: TCLP) TC PipeLines, LP (the Partnership) today reported third quarter 2005 net income of $14.8 million or $0.81 per unit (all amounts in U.S. dollars) compared to $12.6 million or $0.68 per unit for the same period last year. The increase in net income is primarily due to higher equity income from Northern Border Pipeline.
Cash generated from investments in the third quarter of 2005 was $13.2 million, a decrease of $3.7 million, compared to $16.9 million for the same period last year. The decrease in cash generated was primarily due to Northern Border Pipelines lower distributions in the third quarter of 2005 compared to the same period last year. The reduction in Northern Border Pipelines distributions is attributable to the negative revenue impact experienced by Northern Border Pipeline during the second quarter of 2005 due to changes in market fundamentals which affected its ability to sell its capacity at maximum rate.
Our third quarter 2005 net income increased approximately $2.2 million relative to the same period last year, said Ron Turner, president and chief executive officer of the general partner, TC PipeLines GP, Inc. This net income increase was mainly due to the recognition of $9.4 million ($2.8 million positive impact on TC PipeLines net income) related to the sale of Northern Border Pipelines bankruptcy claims held against Enron and Enron North America. During the third quarter, Northern Border Pipelines firm demand revenues dropped by approximately $2.0 million ($0.6 million negative impact on TC PipeLines net income) when compared to the prior year as a result of expired contracts which were replaced with short-term contracts at a discounted rate.
Northern Border Pipeline continues to believe that the greatest impact of unsold capacity occurred during the second quarter this year. During the third quarter, all of Northern Border Pipelines available capacity was sold at more favourable rates relative to the second quarter. In light of the changing market fundamentals on Northern Border Pipeline, we are satisfied with the third quarter financial performance. The Partnership continues to maintain a solid financial position which supports stable cash flows to our unitholders, Turner said.

On October 18, 2005, the Partnership announced its third quarter cash distribution in the amount of $0.575 per unit, payable to unitholders of record on October 31, 2005.

(1) Net income per unit is computed by dividing net income, after deduction of the general partners allocation, by the number of common and subordinated units outstanding. The general partners allocation is computed based upon the general partners two per cent interest plus an amount equal to incentive distributions.
(2) Current accounting practice requires the classification of cumulative cash distributions in excess of cumulative equity earnings to be reported as a return of capital.
(3) The Partnerships 2005 third quarter cash distribution will be paid on November 14, 2005 to unitholders of record as of October 31, 2005.
Net Income
The Partnership reported third quarter 2005 net income of $14.8 million or $0.81 per unit, an increase of $2.2 million compared to $12.6 million or $0.68 per unit for the same period last year.
Equity income from Northern Border Pipeline was $13.9 million in the third quarter of 2005, an increase of $2.6 million, compared to $11.3 million for the same period last year. This increase was primarily due to proceeds of $11.1 million received from the sale of Northern Border Pipelines bankruptcy claims held against Enron and Enron North America. As a result of the sale, Northern Border Pipeline recognized additional income of $9.4 million in the third quarter of 2005. Northern Border Pipeline had previously adjusted its allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect estimated recovery of $1.7 million. Partially offsetting this is a decrease in firm demand revenues of approximately $2.0 million due to discounting of some capacity. The Partnerships share of the net impact of these factors on Northern Border Pipelines revenues contributed to a positive net income to TC PipeLines of $2.2 million. The balance of the $0.4 million increase in equity income from Northern Border Pipeline is attributable to lower operations and maintenance and interest expenses and higher other income.
Equity income from Tuscarora was $1.7 million in the third quarter of 2005, a decrease of $0.1 million, compared to $1.8 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to slightly lower transportation revenues earned in the third quarter of 2005.
The Partnerships third quarter 2005 general and administrative expenses of $0.5 million increased $0.2 million compared to $0.3 million for the same period in 2004, primarily due to higher salaries and benefits as well as timing of expenses. Financial charges of $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2005 increased $0.1 million, compared to $0.2 million for the same period last year due to higher average interest rates.

Cash Flow
The Partnership reported third quarter 2005 cash generated from investments of $13.2 million in the third quarter of 2005, a $3.7 million decrease, compared to $16.9 million for the same period last year. In the third quarter of 2005, the Partnership received a cash distribution from Northern Border Pipeline of $11.8 million compared to $15.5 million in the third quarter of 2004, a decrease of $3.7 million. The decrease was primarily due to Northern Border Pipelines lower second quarter earnings due to the negative revenue impact resulting from uncontracted capacity and expired contracts which were replaced with short-term contracts at discounted rates. Cash distributions received in the quarter are based on the respective results of the Partnerships equity investments for the previous quarter.
Cash distributions from Tuscarora in the third quarter of 2005 were $2.0 million, including $0.3 million classified as return of capital, consistent with the third quarter of 2004.
The Partnership paid an aggregate $10.7 million of cash distributions to unitholders and its general partner in each of the third quarters of 2005 and 2004. This cash distribution, on a per unit basis, represents $0.575 per unit, as well as the general partner interest, including incentive distributions.
In the third quarter of 2005, the Partnership repaid $4.0 million under its revolving credit facility, reducing the Partnerships outstanding debt balance to $20.0 million as at September 30, 2005.
Conference Call
The Partnership will hold a conference call Thursday, November 3, 2005 at 12 p.m. (Eastern).
