NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Organization, Basis of Presentation, and Principles of Consolidation
Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (HEP) together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is a publicly held
master limited partnership, currently 45.0% owned by Holly Corporation (Holly). HEP commenced
operations July 13, 2004. Concurrently with the completion of its initial public offering, Navajo
Pipeline Co., L.P. (Predecessor) (NPL) and its affiliates, a wholly owned subsidiary of Holly,
contributed a substantial portion of its assets to HEP. In this document, the words we, our,
ours and us refer to HEP and NPL collectively unless the context otherwise indicates. See Note
2 for a further description of these transactions.
NPL constitutes HEPs predecessor. The transfer of ownership of assets from NPL to HEP represented
a reorganization of entities under common control and was recorded at historical cost.
Accordingly, our financial statements include the historical results of operations of NPL prior to
the transfer to HEP.
We operate in one business segment the operation of common carrier and proprietary petroleum
pipeline and terminal facilities.
The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our subsidiaries. All
significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated. In addition, the
consolidated financial statements also include financial data, at historical cost, related to the
assets owned by Holly and its wholly-owned subsidiaries through July 12, 2004, other than HEP, that
were not contributed to us upon completion of our initial public offering, all accounted for as
entities under common control. The distributions paid to Holly upon formation of HEP were in
excess of the historical cost of the assets contributed.
The consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and
2004 included herein have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). The consolidated statements of
income, cash flows and partners equity (deficit) include the accounts of NPL through July 12, 2004
and HEP thereafter. The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the
opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of our results for the interim periods.
Such adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature. Although certain notes and
other information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America have been condensed or omitted, we believe that the disclosures in these consolidated
financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These
consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our 2004 Form 10-K. Results
of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative
of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2005. Certain
reclassifications have been made to prior reported amounts to conform to current classifications.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123 (revised), Share-Based Payment. This revision prescribes the
accounting for a wide range of equity-based compensation arrangements, including share options,
restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share
purchase plans, and generally requires the fair value of equity-based awards to be expensed on the
income statement. This standard was to become effective for us for the first interim period
beginning after June 15, 2005. However, in April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission
allowed for the delay in the implementation of this standard, with the result that we are now
required to adopt this standard by calendar year 2006. SFAS 123 (revised) allows for either
modified prospective recognition of compensation expense or modified retrospective recognition,
which may be back to the original issuance of SFAS 123 or only to interim periods in the year of
adoption. We elected early adoption of this standard
- 8 -
Table of Contents
on July 1, 2005 based on modified prospective application (see Note 5). The adoption of this
standard did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections a
replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. This statement changes the
requirements for accounting for and reporting a change in accounting principles and applies to all
voluntary changes in accounting principles. It also applies to changes required by an accounting
pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition
provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should
be followed. This statement requires retrospective application to prior periods financial
statements of changes in accounting principles, unless it is impracticable to determine either the
period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of change. This statement becomes effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We believe the adoption of this standard will not
have an impact on our financial statements.
Note 2: Initial Public Offering of HEP
On March 15, 2004, a Registration Statement on Form S-1 was filed with the SEC relating to a
proposed underwritten initial public offering of limited partnership interests in HEP. HEP was
formed to acquire, own and operate substantially all of the refined product pipeline and
terminalling assets that support Hollys refining and marketing operations in West Texas, New
Mexico, Utah and Arizona and a 70% interest in Rio Grande.
On July 7, 2004, we priced 6,100,000 common units for the initial public offering; and on July 8,
2004, our common units began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol HEP. On
July 13, 2004, we closed our initial public offering of 7,000,000 common units at a price of $22.25
per unit, which included a 900,000 unit over-allotment option that was exercised by the
underwriters. Total proceeds from the sale of the units were $145.5 million, net of $10.3 million
underwriting commissions. After the offering, Holly, through a subsidiary, owned a 51% interest in
HEP, including the general partner interest. The initial public offering represented the sale of a
49% interest in HEP.
All of our initial assets were contributed by Holly and its subsidiaries in exchange for: a) an
aggregate of 7,000,000 subordinated units, representing 49% limited partner interests in HEP, b)
incentive distribution rights (as set forth in HEPs partnership agreement), c) the 2% general
partner interest, and d) an aggregate cash distribution of $125.6 million.
The following table presents the assets and liabilities of our predecessor immediately prior to
contributing assets to HEP, the assets and liabilities contributed to HEP, and the predecessors
assets and liabilities that were not contributed to HEP:

We used the proceeds of the public offering and $25 million drawn under our credit facility
agreement to: establish $9.9 million working capital for HEP, distribute $125.6 million to Holly,
repay $30.1 million of short-term debt to Holly, pay $13.8 million underwriting commissions and
other offering costs, and pay $1.4 million of deferred debt issuance costs related to the credit
facility.
In connection with the offering, we entered into a 15-year pipelines and terminals agreement with
Holly and several of its subsidiaries (the Holly PTA) under which they agreed generally to
transport or terminal volumes on certain of our initial facilities that will result in revenues to
HEP that will equal or exceed a specified minimum revenue amount annually (which was initially
$35.4 million and adjusts upward each year based on the producer price index) over the term of the
agreement.
We also entered into an omnibus agreement with Holly and certain of its subsidiaries that became
effective July 13, 2004 (the Omnibus Agreement) and determines the services that Holly will
provide to us. Under the Omnibus Agreement, Holly is charging us $2.0 million annually for general
and administrative services that it provides, including but not limited to: executive, finance,
legal, information technology and administrative services.
Note 3: Acquisitions
Alon Transaction
On February 28, 2005, we closed on a contribution agreement with Alon USA, Inc. and several of its
wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, Alon) that provided for our acquisition of four refined
products pipelines aggregating approximately 500 miles, an associated tank farm and two refined
products terminals with aggregate storage capacity of approximately 347,000 barrels. These
pipelines and terminals are located primarily in Texas and transport approximately 70% of the light
refined products for Alons 65,000 barrels per day (bpd) capacity refinery in Big Spring, Texas.
The total consideration paid for these pipeline and terminal assets was $120 million in cash and
937,500 of our Class B subordinated units which, subject to certain conditions, will convert into
an equal number of common units in five years. We financed the Alon transaction through our
private offering of $150 million principal amount of 6.25% senior notes due 2015. We used the
proceeds of the offering to fund the $120 million cash portion of the consideration for the Alon
transaction, and used the balance to repay $30 million of outstanding indebtedness under our
revolving credit agreement, including $5 million drawn shortly before the closing of the Alon
transaction. In connection with the Alon transaction, we entered into
- 10 -
Table of Contents
a 15-year pipelines and terminals agreement with Alon. Under this agreement, Alon agreed to
transport on the pipelines and throughput volumes through the terminals, a volume of refined
products that would result in minimum revenues to us of $20.2 million per year in the first year.
The agreed upon tariffs at the minimum volume commitment will increase or decrease each year at a
rate equal to the percentage change in the producer price index (PPI), but not below the initial
tariffs. Alons minimum volume commitment was calculated based on 90% of Alons then recent usage
of these pipelines and terminals taking into account a 5,000 bpd expansion of Alons Big Spring
Refinery completed in February 2005. At revenue levels above 105% of the base revenue amount, as
adjusted each year for changes in the PPI, Alon will receive an annual 50% discount on incremental
revenues. Alons obligations under the pipelines and terminals agreement may be reduced or
suspended under certain circumstances. We granted Alon a second mortgage on the pipelines and
terminals acquired from Alon to secure certain of Alons rights under the pipelines and terminals
agreement. Alon will have a right of first refusal to purchase the pipelines and terminals if we
decide to sell them in the future. Additionally, we entered into an environmental agreement with
Alon with respect to pre-closing environmental costs and liabilities relating to the pipelines and
terminals acquired from Alon, where Alon will indemnify us subject to a $100,000 deductible and a
$20 million maximum liability cap.
The consideration for the Alon pipeline and terminal assets was allocated to the individual assets
acquired based on their estimated fair values. The allocation of the consideration is based on an
independent appraisal. The aggregate consideration amounted to $146.7 million, which consisted of
$24.7 million fair value of our Class B subordinated units, $120 million in cash and $2.0 million
of transaction costs. In accounting for this acquisition, we recorded pipeline and terminal assets
of $86.7 million and an intangible asset of $60.0 million, representing the value of the 15-year
pipelines and terminals agreement.
Holly Intermediate Pipelines Transaction
On July 6, 2005, we entered into a definitive purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with
Holly to acquire Hollys two 65-mile parallel intermediate feedstock pipelines (the
Intermediate Pipelines) which connect its Lovington, NM and Artesia, NM refining facilities. On
July 8, 2005, we closed on the acquisition for $81.5 million, which consisted of $77.7 million in
cash, 70,000 common units of HEP and a capital account credit of $1.0 million to maintain Hollys
existing general partner interest in the Partnership. We financed the cash portion of the
consideration for the Intermediate Pipelines with the proceeds raised from (i) the private sale of
1,100,000 of our common units for $45.1 million to a limited number of institutional investors
which closed simultaneously with the acquisition and (ii) an additional $35.0 million in principal
amount of our 6.25% senior notes due 2015. This acquisition was made pursuant to an option to
purchase these pipelines granted by Holly to us at the time of our initial public offering in July
2004.
In connection with this transaction, we entered into a 15-year pipelines agreement with Holly (the
Holly IPA). Under this agreement, Holly agreed to transport volumes of intermediate products on
the Intermediate Pipelines that, at the agreed tariff rates, will result in minimum revenues to us
of approximately $11.8 million per calendar year. The minimum commitment and the full base tariff
will be adjusted each year at a rate equal to the percentage change in the PPI, but the minimum
commitment will not decrease as a result of a decrease in the PPI. Hollys minimum revenue
commitment will apply only to the Intermediate Pipelines, and Holly will not be able to spread its
minimum revenue commitment among pipeline assets HEP already owns or subsequently acquires. If
Holly fails to meet its minimum revenue commitment in any quarter, it will be required to pay us in
cash the amount of any shortfall by the last day of the month following the end of the quarter. A
shortfall payment may be applied as a credit in the following four quarters after Hollys minimum
obligations are met. The pipelines agreement may be extended by the mutual agreement of the
parties.
We have agreed to expend up to $3.5 million to expand the capacity of the Intermediate Pipelines to
meet the needs of Hollys previously announced expansion of their Navajo Refinery. If new laws or
regulations are enacted that require us to make substantial and unanticipated capital expenditures
with regard to the Intermediate Pipelines, we have the right to amend the tariff rates to recover
our costs of complying with these new laws or regulations (including a reasonable rate of return).
Under certain circumstances, either party may temporarily suspend its obligations under the
pipelines agreement. We granted Holly a second
- 11 -

mortgage on the Intermediate Pipelines to secure certain of Hollys rights under the pipelines
agreement. Holly has agreed to provide $2.5 million of additional indemnification above that
previously provided in the Omnibus Agreement for environmental noncompliance and remediation
liabilities occurring or existing before the closing date of the Purchase Agreement, bringing the
total indemnification provided to us from Holly to $17.5 million. Of this total, indemnification
above $15 million relates solely to the Intermediate Pipelines.
As this transaction is among entities under common control, we recorded the acquired assets at
Hollys historic book value of $6.8 million, resulting in a deemed distribution to Holly of $71.9
million for financial accounting purposes.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, we did not capitalize any

Note 5: Employees, Retirement and Benefit Plans
Employees who provide direct services to us are employed by Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C., a
Holly subsidiary. Their costs, including salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, benefits, and other
direct costs, are charged to us monthly in accordance with the Omnibus Agreement.
These employees participate in the retirement and benefit plans of Holly. Our share of retirement
and benefits costs for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $0.3 million and $0.2
million and for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 was $0.7 million and $0.6
million, respectively.
We elected early adoption of SFAS 123 (revised) on July 1, 2005, based on modified prospective
application. The effect of this change in accounting principle was immaterial to our financial
condition and results of operations.
On September 30, 2005, we had two equity-based compensation plans, which are described below. The
compensation cost charged against income for these plans was $160,000 and $7,000 for the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. It is currently our policy to purchase
units in the open market instead of issuing new units for settlement of restricted unit grants. At
September 30, 2005, 350,000 units were authorized to be granted under the equity-based compensation
plans, of which 329,074 had not yet been granted.

Table of Contents
Restricted Units
Under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, we grant restricted units to selected employees, consultants
and directors who perform services for us, with vesting generally over a period of two to five
years. Although full ownership of the units does not transfer to the recipients until the units
vest, the recipients have distribution and voting rights on these units from the date of grant.
The vesting for certain key executives is contingent upon certain earnings per unit targets being
realized. The fair value of each unit of restricted unit awards was measured at the market price
as of the date of grant and is being amortized over the vesting period, including the units issued
to the key executives, as we expect those units to fully vest.
A summary of restricted unit activity as of September 30, 2005, and changes during the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 is presented below:

There were no restricted units vested or transferred to recipients during the nine months ended
September 2005 and 2004. As of September 30, 2005, there was $0.7 million of total unrecognized
compensation costs related to nonvested restricted unit grants. That cost is expected to be
recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.8 years.
Performance Units
Under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, we grant performance units to selected executives and employees
who perform services for us. These performance units are payable in cash upon meeting the
performance criteria over a service period, and generally vest over a period of three years. The
cash benefit payable under these grants is based upon our unit price and upon our total unitholder
return during the requisite period as compared to the total unitholder return of a selected peer
group of partnerships. The fair value of each performance unit award is being revalued quarterly
based on our valuation model and the corresponding expense is being amortized over the vesting
periods.
The fair value of the performance units is based on an expected cash flow approach at the grant
date and at the end of each subsequent quarter. The analysis utilizes the current unit price,
distribution yield, historical total returns as of the measurement date, expected total returns
based on a capital asset pricing model methodology, standard deviation of historical returns, and
comparison of expected total returns with the peer group. The expected total return and historical
standard deviation is applied to a lognormal expected return distribution in a Monte Carlo
simulation model to identify the expected range of potential returns and probabilities of expected
returns. For HEPs restricted units, the price of the units range from $33.70 to $44.30, the
expected distribution yields range from 4.33% to 5.03%, and the risk-free rates range from 3.56% to
4.18% at the various measurement dates. The range of inputs reflects changes in the remaining life
of the performance units and changes in market conditions between measurement dates. The inputs
affecting the range of expected total returns for HEP and the peer group are based on a capital
asset pricing model utilizing information available at each measurement date. The monthly standard
deviation of returns is based on the standard deviation of historical return information. The
range of expected returns and standard deviation is presented below:

There were no cash payments for performance units vesting during the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004. As of September 30, 2005, the liability associated with these awards
was $16,000 and is recorded in Other current liabilities on our balance sheet. Based on the
weighted average fair value at September 30, 2005 of $52.88, there was $60,000 of total
unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested performance units. That cost is expected to be
recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.3 years.
Under SFAS 123 (revised), the performance unit awards are measured and recorded at fair value, we
previously recorded them at intrinsic value. The total cumulative effect of this change in
accounting principle is immaterial.
Note 6: Debt
Credit Agreement
In conjunction with our initial public offering on July 13, 2004, we entered into a four-year, $100
million senior secured revolving credit agreement (the Credit Agreement). Union Bank of
California, N.A. is a lender and serves as administrative agent under this agreement. Upon closing
of our initial public offering, we drew $25 million under the Credit Agreement, which was
outstanding at December 31, 2004.
We amended the Credit Agreement effective February 28, 2005 to allow for the closing of the Alon
transaction and the related senior notes offering as well as to amend certain of the restrictive
covenants. With a portion of the proceeds from the senior note offering, we repaid $30 million of
outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, including $5 million drawn shortly before the
closing of the Alon transaction. As of June 17, 2005, we amended the Credit Agreement to restate
the definition of certain terms used in the restrictive covenants. We amended the Credit Agreement
effective July 8, 2005 to allow for the closing of the Holly intermediate pipelines transaction as
well as to amend certain of the restrictive covenants. As of September 30, 2005, we had no amounts
outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement is available to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions, and working capital
and for general partnership purposes. Advances under the Credit Agreement that are designated for
working capital are short-term liabilities. Other advances under the Credit Agreement are
classified as long-term liabilities. In addition, the Credit Agreement is available to fund
letters of credit up to a $50 million sub-limit. Up to $5 million is available to fund
distributions to unit holders.
We have the right to request an increase in the maximum amount of the Credit Agreement, up to $175
million. Such request will become effective if (i) certain conditions specified in the Credit
Agreement are met and (ii) existing lenders under the Credit Agreement or other financial
institutions reasonably acceptable to the administrative agent commit to lend such increased
amounts under the agreement.
- 14 -
Table of Contents
Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets.
Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is recourse to our general partner and guaranteed by our
wholly-owned subsidiaries.
We may prepay all loans at any time without penalty. We are required to reduce all working capital
borrowings under the Credit Agreement to zero for a period of at least 15 consecutive days once
each twelve-month period prior to the maturity date of the agreement. The initial $25 million
borrowing was not a working capital borrowing under the Credit Agreement and was classified as a
long-term liability at December 31, 2004.
Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement bears interest, at our option, at either (i) the base rate
as announced by the administrative agent plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.25% to 1.00%) or
(ii) at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.50% to 2.25%). In each
case, the applicable margin is based upon the ratio of our funded debt (as defined in the
agreement) to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined in
the Credit Agreement). We incur a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Credit Agreement at
a rate of 0.375% or 0.500% based upon the ratio of our funded debt to EBITDA for the four most
recently completed fiscal quarters. The agreement matures in July 2008. At that time, the
agreement will terminate and all outstanding amounts thereunder will be due and payable.
The Credit Agreement imposes certain requirements, including: a prohibition against distribution to
unitholders if, before or after the distribution, a potential default or an event of default as
defined in the agreement would occur; limitations on our ability to incur debt, make loans, acquire
other companies, change the nature of our business, enter a merger or consolidation, or sell
assets; and covenants that require maintenance of EBITDA to interest expense ratio and debt to
EBITDA ratio. If an event of default exists under the agreement, the lenders will be able to
accelerate the maturity of the debt and exercise other rights and remedies.
Senior Notes Due 2015
We financed the $120 million cash portion of the Alon transaction through our private offering on
February 28, 2005 of $150 million principal amount of 6.25% senior notes due 2015 (Senior Notes).
We used the balance to repay $30 million of outstanding indebtedness under our Credit Agreement,
including $5 million drawn shortly before the closing of the Alon transaction.
We financed a portion of the cash consideration for the Intermediate Pipelines transaction with the
private offering in June 2005 of an additional $35.0 million in principal amount of the Senior
Notes.
The Senior Notes mature on March 1, 2015 and bear interest at 6.25%. The Senior Notes are
unsecured and impose certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur
additional indebtedness, make investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, pay distributions,
enter into transactions with affiliates, and enter into mergers. At any time when the Senior Notes
are rated investment grade by both Moodys and Standard & Poors and no default or event of default
exists, we will not be subject to many of the foregoing covenants. Additionally, we have certain
redemption rights under the Senior Notes.
On July 28, 2005, we filed a registration statement to allow the holders of the Senior Notes to
exchange the Senior Notes for exchange notes registered with the SEC with substantially identical
terms, which registration became effective in September 2005. The exchange was completed in
October 2005. The exchange notes are generally freely transferable but are a new issue of
securities for which certain of the initial purchasers have indicated they intend to make a market
but for which there may not initially be a market.
The $185 million principal amount of Senior Notes is recorded at $181.3 million on our accompanying
consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2005. The difference of $3.7 million is due to $3.6
million of unamortized discount and $72,000 relating to the interest rate swap contract discussed
below.
- 15 -
Table of Contents
Interest Rate Risk Management
We have entered into an interest rate swap contract to effectively convert the interest expense
associated with $60 million of our 6.25% Senior Notes from a fixed rate to a variable rate. The
interest rate on the $60 million notional amount is equal to three month LIBOR plus an applicable
margin of 1.1575%, which equaled an effective interest rate of 4.66% on $60 million of the debt
during the nine months ended September 30, 2005. The maturity of the swap contract is March 1,
2015, matching the maturity of the Senior Notes.
This interest rate swap has been designated as a fair value hedge as defined by SFAS No. 133. Our
interest rate swap meets the conditions required to assume no ineffectiveness under SFAS No. 133
and, therefore, we have used the shortcut method of accounting prescribed for fair value hedges
by SFAS No. 133. Accordingly, we adjust the carrying value of the swap to its fair value each
quarter, with an offsetting entry to adjust the carrying value of the debt securities whose fair
value is being hedged. We record interest expense equal to the variable rate payments under the
swaps.
The fair value of our interest rate swap of $72,000 is included in Other long-term liabilities in
our accompanying consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2005. The offsetting entry to adjust
the carrying value of the debt securities whose fair value is being hedged is recognized as a
reduction of Long-term debt on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2005.
Other Debt Information
For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, interest expense includes: $5.7 million of interest
on the outstanding debt, net of the impact of the interest rate swap; $0.3 million of commitment
fees on the unused portion of the Credit Agreement; and $0.5 million of amortization of the
discount on the Senior Notes and deferred debt issuance costs. As no interest expense was incurred
prior to formation on July 13, 2004, only $0.3 million of interest expense was recorded on the
Credit Agreement and commitment fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. We made cash
payments of $6.3 million and $0.1 million for interest in the nine months ended September 30, 2005
and 2004, respectively.
The carrying amounts of our debt recorded on the balance sheet approximate fair value.
Note 7: Commitments and Contingencies
We lease certain facilities, pipelines and equipment under operating leases, most of which contain
renewal options. As of September 30, 2005, the minimum future rental commitments under operating
leases having non-cancelable lease terms in excess of one year total in the aggregate $9.8 million
(not including a 10 year renewal option on a pipeline operating lease that is likely to be
exercised), payable $5.6 million annually through June 2007. Rental expense charged to operations
was $1.4 million and $1.3 million in the three-month periods ended September 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively, and $4.1 million and $3.9 million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005
and 2004, respectively.
We are a party to various legal and regulatory proceedings, none of which we believe will have a
material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Note 8: Significant Customers
All revenues are domestic revenues, of which over 90% are currently generated from our three
largest customers: Holly and two third-party customers. The major concentration of our petroleum
products pipeline systems revenues is derived from activities conducted in the southwest United
States. The following table presents the percentage of total revenues generated by each of these
three customers for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004.

Note 9: Related Party Transactions
We have related party transactions with Holly for pipeline and terminal revenues, certain employee
costs, insurance costs, and administrative costs under the Holly PTA, Holly IPA and Omnibus
Agreement (see Note 2). Additionally, we received interest income from Holly during the year ended
December 31, 2004, based on common treasury accounts prior to our initial public offering on July
13, 2004. Since that date, we maintain our own treasury accounts separate from Holly.
Pipeline and terminal revenues received from Holly were $12.5 million and $9.7 million for the
three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $35.4 million and $31.9 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Holly charged general and
administrative services under the Omnibus Agreement of $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $1.5 million and $0.4 million for the
nine months ended September 2005 and 2004, respectively. We also reimbursed Holly for costs of
employees supporting our operations of $1.8 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $4.8 million and $1.0 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In the three and nine months ended September 30,
2005, we distributed $4.3 million and $12.0 million, respectively, to Holly as regular
distributions on its subordinated units and general partner interest. In July 2005, we also
acquired the Intermediate Pipelines from Holly, which included a deemed distribution to Holly of
$71.9 million. See Note 3 for further information on the Intermediate Pipelines transaction. In
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004, $125.6 million had been distributed to Holly
concurrent with our initial public offering.
We have a 70% ownership interest in Rio Grande Pipeline Company. Due to the ownership interest and
resulting consolidation, the other partner of Rio Grande BP plc (BP) is a related party to
us. BP is the sole customer of Rio Grande, and we recorded revenues from them of $1.7 million and
$2.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 and $6.3 million and $8.7
million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Distributions made to
BP were $2.0 million and $2.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004,
respectively. Included in our accounts receivable trade at September 30, 2005 and December 31,
2004 were $0.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively, which represented the receivable balance of
Rio Grande from BP.
Alon owns all of our Class B subordinated units and is considered to be a related party.
Subsequent to the issuance of these units, we recognized $6.7 million and $16.1 million of revenues
for pipeline transportation, terminalling services, and a capacity lease for the three and nine
months ended September 30, 2005, respectively. At September 30, 2005, $2.4 million accounts
receivable from Alon were included in our accounts receivable trade balance.
Note 10: Partners Equity and Cash Distributions
As partial consideration in the Alon transaction, we issued 937,500 of our Class B subordinated
units at a fair value of $24.7 million. Additionally, our general partner contributed $0.6 million
as an additional capital contribution to maintain its 2% general partner interest.
We financed a portion of the cash consideration paid for the Intermediate Pipelines with $45.1
million of proceeds raised from the private sale of 1,100,000 of our common units to a limited
number of institutional investors which closed simultaneously with the closing of the acquisition
of the Intermediate Pipelines on July 8, 2005. On September 2, 2005, we filed a registration
statement with the SEC using a shelf registration process which, when it becomes effective, will
allow the institutional investors to freely
- 17 -
Table of Contents
transfer their units. Additionally under this shelf process, we may offer from time to time up to
$800 million of our securities, through one or more prospectus supplements that would describe,
among other things, the specific amounts, prices and terms of any securities offered and how the
proceeds would be used. Any proceeds from the sale of securities would be used for general
business purposes, which may include, among other things, funding acquisitions of assets or
businesses, working capital, capital expenditures, investments in subsidiaries, the retirement of
existing debt and/or the repurchase of common units or other securities.
As a result of these transactions, Hollys ownership interest was reduced from 51% to 47.9%
following the Alon transaction, including the 2% general partner interest. Hollys ownership was
further reduced to 45.0% in July 2005 following the Intermediate Pipelines transaction.
In February 2005, we paid a regular cash distribution for the fourth quarter of 2004 of $0.50 on
all units, an aggregate amount of $7.1 million. In May 2005, we paid a regular cash distribution
for the first quarter of 2005 of $0.55 on all units, an aggregate amount of $8.4 million. In
August 2005, we paid a regular cash distribution for the second quarter of 2005 of $0.575 on all
units, an aggregate amount of $9.5 million. Included in this distribution was $63,000 paid to the
general partner as an incentive distribution, as the distribution per unit exceeded $0.55. On
October 28, 2005, we announced a cash distribution for the third quarter of 2005 of $0.60 per unit.
The distribution is payable on all common, subordinated, and general partner units and will be
paid November 14, 2005 to all unit holders of record on November 7, 2005. The aggregate amount of
the distribution will be $10.0 million, including $126,000 to be paid to the general partner as an
incentive distribution.
Note 11: Supplemental Guarantor/Non-Guarantor Financial Information
Obligations of Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (Parent) under the 6.25% Senior Notes have been
jointly and severally guaranteed by each of its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries
(Guarantor Subsidiaries). These guarantees are full and unconditional. Rio Grande Pipeline
Company (Non-Guarantor), in which we have a 70% ownership interest, is the only subsidiary which
has not guaranteed these obligations.
The following financial information presents condensed consolidating balance sheets, statements of
income, and statements of cash flows of the Parent, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the
Non-Guarantor. The information has been presented as if the Parent accounted for its ownership in
the Guarantor Subsidiaries, and the Guarantor Subsidiaries accounted for the ownership of the
Non-Guarantor, using the equity method of accounting.

HOLLY ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P.
Item 2. | Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
This Item 2, including but not limited to the sections on Results of Operations and Liquidity
and Capital Resources, contains forward-looking statements. See Forward-Looking Statements at
the beginning of Part I.
OVERVIEW
Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (HEP) is a Delaware limited partnership formed by Holly Corporation
(Holly) and is the successor to Navajo Pipeline Co., L.P. (Predecessor) (NPL). On March 15,
2004, we filed a Registration Statement on Form S-1 with the United States Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC) relating to a proposed underwritten initial public offering of limited
partnership units in HEP. HEP was formed to acquire, own and operate substantially all of the
refined product pipeline and terminalling assets that support Hollys refining and marketing
operations in west Texas, New Mexico, Utah and Arizona and a 70% interest in Rio Grande Pipeline
Company (Rio Grande). On July 7, 2004, we priced 6,100,000 common units for the initial public
offering and on July 8, 2004, our common units began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under
the symbol HEP. On July 13, 2004, we closed our initial public offering of 7,000,000 common
units at a price of $22.25 per unit, which included a 900,000 unit over-allotment option that was
exercised by the underwriters. Total proceeds from the sale of the units were $145.5 million, net
of $10.3 million of underwriting commissions. All the initial assets of HEP were contributed by
Holly and its subsidiaries in exchange for (i) 7,000,000 subordinated units, representing 49%
limited partner interest in HEP, (ii) incentive distribution rights (iii) the 2% general partner
interest and (iv) an aggregate cash distribution of $125.6 million.
We operate a system of petroleum product pipelines in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma, and
distribution terminals in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, and Washington. We generate
revenues by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products through our pipelines and by
charging fees for terminalling refined products and other hydrocarbons, and storing and providing
other services at our terminals. We do not take ownership of products that we transport or
terminal and therefore we are not directly exposed to changes in commodity prices.
Historical Results of Operations
In reviewing the historical results of operations that are discussed below, you should be aware of
the following:
The historical financial data prior to July 13, 2004 does not reflect any general and
administrative expenses as Holly did not historically allocate any of its general and
administrative expenses to its pipelines and terminals. Also, our historical results of operations
prior to July 13, 2004 include revenues and costs associated with crude oil and intermediate
product pipelines, which were not contributed to our partnership at its inception.
For periods after commencement of operations by HEP on July 13, 2004, our financial statements
reflect:
| net proceeds from our initial public offering which closed on July 13, 2004 (see Liquidity and Capital Resources below); | |
| the transfer of certain of our predecessors operations to HEP, which |
- | includes our predecessors refined product pipeline and terminal assets and short-term debt due to Holly (which was repaid upon the closing of our initial public offering), and | ||
- | excludes our predecessors intermediate product pipelines prior to our purchase in July 2005, crude oil systems, accounts receivable from or payable to affiliates, and other miscellaneous assets and liabilities; |
- 24 -
Table of Contents
| the execution of a 15-year pipelines and terminals agreement with Holly (Holly PTA) and the recognition of revenues derived therefrom for serving Hollys refineries in New Mexico and Utah; and | |
| the execution of an omnibus agreement with Holly and several of its subsidiaries (the Omnibus Agreement) and the recognition of allocated general and administrative expenses in addition to direct general and administrative expense related to our operation as a publicly owned entity. |
NPL constitutes HEPs predecessor. The transfer of ownership of assets from NPL to HEP represented
a reorganization of entities under common control and was recorded at historical cost.
Accordingly, our financial statements include the historical results of operations of NPL prior to
the transfer to HEP.
Agreements with Holly Corporation
Under the 15-year Holly PTA, Holly pays us fees to transport on our refined product pipelines or
throughput in our terminals a volume of refined products that will produce a minimum level of
revenue. This minimum revenue commitment will increase each year at a rate equal to the percentage
change in the producer price index (PPI), but will not decrease as a result of a decrease in the
PPI. Following the July 1, 2005 PPI adjustment, the volume commitments by Holly under the Holly
PTA will produce at least $36.685 million of revenue for the twelve months ending June 30, 2006.
Holly pays the published tariff rates on the pipelines and contractually agreed upon fees at the
terminals. The tariffs will adjust annually at a rate equal to the percentage change in the PPI.
The terminal fees will adjust annually based upon an index comprised of comparable fees posted by
third parties. Hollys minimum revenue commitment applies only to the initial assets we acquired
from Holly and may not be spread among assets we subsequently acquire. If Holly fails to meet its
minimum revenue commitment in any quarter, it will be required to pay us in cash the amount of any
shortfall by the last day of the month following the end of the quarter. A shortfall payment may
be applied as a credit in the following four quarters after Hollys minimum obligations are met.
Furthermore, if new laws or regulations that affect terminals or pipelines generally are enacted
that require us to make substantial and unanticipated capital expenditures at the pipelines or
terminals, we will have the right to negotiate a monthly surcharge on Holly for the use of the
terminals or to file for an increased tariff rate for use of the pipelines to cover Hollys pro
rata portion of the cost of complying with these laws or regulations, after we have made efforts to
mitigate their effect. We and Holly will negotiate in good faith to agree on the level of the
monthly surcharge or increased tariff rate.
Hollys obligations under this agreement may be proportionately reduced or suspended if Holly shuts
down or materially reconfigures one of its refineries. Holly will be required to give at least
twelve months advance notice of any long-term shutdown or material reconfiguration. Hollys
obligations may also be temporarily suspended or terminated in certain circumstances.
Historically prior to July 13, 2004, Holly did not allocate any of its general and administrative
expenses to its pipeline and terminalling operations. Under the Omnibus Agreement, we have agreed
to pay Holly an annual administrative fee, initially in the amount of $2.0 million, for the
provision by Holly or its affiliates of various general and administrative services to us for three
years following the closing of our initial public offering. The fee may increase on the second and
third anniversaries by the greater of 5% or the percentage increase in the consumer price index for
the applicable year. In addition, our general partner has the right to agree to further increases
in connection with expansions of our operations through the acquisition or construction of new
assets or businesses. The $2.0 million fee includes expenses incurred by Holly and its affiliates
to perform centralized corporate functions, such as executive management, legal, accounting,
treasury, information technology and other corporate services, including the administration of
employee benefit plans. This fee does not include the salaries of pipeline and terminal personnel
or other employees of Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C. or the cost of their employee benefits, such
as 401(k), pension and health insurance benefits, which are separately charged to us by Holly. We
also reimburse Holly and its affiliates for direct expenses they incur on our behalf. In addition,
we incur additional general and administrative costs, including costs relating to operating as a
separate publicly held entity, such as costs for preparation of partners K-1 tax information,
annual and quarterly reports to unitholders, investor relations, directors compensation,
directors and officers insurance and registrar and transfer agent fees. Under the Omnibus
Agreement, Holly also agreed to indemnify us in an
- 25 -

aggregate amount not to exceed $15 million for ten years after the closing of our initial public
offering for any environmental noncompliance and remediation liabilities associated with the assets
transferred to us and occurring or existing prior to the closing date of our initial public
offering.
See Holly Intermediates Pipeline Transaction below for discussion of another 15-year pipelines
agreement entered into with Holly related to the intermediate pipelines acquired in July 2005,
expiring in 2020.
Alon Transaction; Senior Note Offering
On February 28, 2005, we closed on a contribution agreement with Alon USA, Inc. and several of its
wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, Alon) that provided for our acquisition of four refined
products pipelines, an associated tank farm and two refined products terminals located primarily in
Texas. These pipelines and terminals transport approximately 70% of the light refined products for
Alons 65,000 barrels per day (bpd) capacity refinery in Big Spring, Texas. The total
consideration paid for these pipeline and terminal assets was $120 million in cash, $2.0 million of
transaction costs, and 937,500 of our Class B subordinated units valued at $24.7 million which,
subject to certain conditions, will convert into an equal number of common units in five years. In
connection with the Alon transaction, we entered into a 15-year pipelines and terminals agreement
with Alon. Please read Alon Transaction under Liquidity and Capital Resources below for
additional information.
We financed the $120 million cash portion of the Alon transaction through our private offering of
$150 million principal amount of 6.25% senior notes due 2015. Please read Senior Notes Due 2015
under Liquidity and Capital Resources below for additional information. We used the balance to
repay $30 million of outstanding indebtedness under our revolving credit agreement, including $5
million drawn shortly before the closing of the Alon transaction.
Holly Intermediate Pipelines Transaction
On July 6, 2005, we entered into a definitive purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with
Holly to acquire Hollys two 65-mile parallel intermediate feedstock pipelines (the Intermediate
Pipelines) which connect its Lovington, NM and Artesia, NM refining facilities. On July 8, 2005,
we closed on the acquisition for $81.5 million, which consisted of $77.7 million in cash, 70,000
common units of HEP and a capital account credit to maintain Hollys existing 2% general partner
interest in the Partnership. We financed the $77.7 million cash portion of the consideration for
the Intermediate Pipelines with the proceeds raised from (i) the private sale of 1,100,000 of our
common units for $45.1 million to a limited number of institutional investors which closed
simultaneously with the acquisition and (ii) the offering of an additional $35.0 million in
principal amount of our 6.25% senior notes due 2015. Please read Holly Intermediate Pipelines
Transaction under Liquidity and Capital Resources below for additional information.
As a result of these transactions, Hollys ownership interest has been reduced from 51% to 47.9%
following the Alon transaction, including the 2% general partner interest. Hollys ownership was
further reduced to 45.0% in July 2005 following the Intermediate Pipelines transaction.

Results of Operations Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared with Three Months Ended
September 30, 2004
Summary
Net income was $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, an increase of $1.3
million from $6.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase in overall
income was principally due to the income generated from the assets acquired from Alon and the
intermediate pipelines acquired from Holly, offset by increased interest expense principally
related to the senior notes issued in connection with the Alon and intermediate pipelines
transactions. Additionally impacting earnings for the current years third quarter were additional
revenues from our existing pipelines and terminals, offset by reduced revenues from the Rio Grande
Pipeline.
Revenues
Revenues of $21.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005 were $7.0 million greater
than the $14.5 million in the comparable period of 2004, principally due to $5.0 million of
revenues from the pipeline and terminal assets acquired from Alon following the February 28, 2005
acquisition and $2.2 million of revenues from the intermediate pipeline assets acquired from Holly
on July 8, 2005. Also, we had additional revenues from our existing pipelines and terminals of
$1.0 million and reduced revenues from the Rio Grande Pipeline of $0.8 million. For the three
months ended September 30, 2004, assets not originally contributed to the Partnership generated
revenues of $0.4 million.
Revenues from refined product pipelines increased by $4.5 million from $11.0 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2004 to $15.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
Shipments on the Partnerships refined product pipelines averaged 133.1 thousand barrels per day
(mbpd) for the three months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to 87.3 mbpd for the three
months ended September 30, 2004, principally due to the incremental volumes from the pipelines
acquired from Alon and additional volumes from our existing pipelines. Revenues from the
intermediate product pipelines purchased from Holly in July 2005 contributed $2.2 million to
revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2005. Shipments on the Partnerships intermediate
product pipelines averaged 53.7 mbpd for the three months ended September 30, 2005. As
anticipated, during the first quarter of 2005 based on the aggregate volumes shipped by BP Plc
(BP) on the Rio Grande Pipeline, BP is no longer required to pay the border crossing fee pursuant
to its contract. For the three months ended September 30, 2004, the border crossing fee was $0.9
million. Revenues from crude system and intermediate pipeline assets not contributed to HEP were
$0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004, as a result of including operations of
the predecessor only until July 13, 2004, the commencement of operations of HEP.
Revenues from terminal and truck loading rack service fees increased by $0.7 million from $3.1
million for the three months ended September 30, 2004 to $3.8 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2005. Refined products terminalled in our facilities for the comparable quarters
rose to 166.2 mbpd in the 2005 third quarter from 139.2 mbpd in the 2004 third quarter, due to the
incremental volumes from the terminals acquired from Alon and volume gains at our existing
terminals.
Operating Costs
Operating costs increased $1.1 million from the third quarter of 2004 to the third quarter of 2005.
This increase in expense was principally due to $0.8 million of operating costs relating to the
assets acquired from Alon, combined with operating costs of $0.3 million for the intermediate
pipelines that were acquired in July 2005, partially offset by operating costs of $0.1 million for
the crude oil and intermediate pipelines that were not contributed to HEP and were included in our
results for the third quarter of 2004.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization was $2.2 million higher in the quarter ended September 30, 2005 than
in the quarter ended September 30, 2004, due principally to the increase in depreciation from the
assets acquired from Alon.
- 30 -
Table of Contents
General and Administrative
General and administrative costs increased $0.2 million from the third quarter of 2004 to the third
quarter of 2005. The principal cause of the increase was that the current quarter represents a
full quarterly period of costs. In third quarter of 2004, general and administrative costs were
only incurred subsequent to HEPs formation date of July 13, 2004, as Holly did not allocate any
general and administrative costs to its subsidiaries.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2005 totaled $3.0 million, an increase of
$2.7 million from $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004. The increase is due
to the debt issued in connection with the Alon and intermediate pipelines acquisition. In the
three months ended September 30, 2005, interest expense consisted of: $2.7 million of interest on
our outstanding debt, net of the impact of the interest rate swap; $0.1 million of commitment fees
on the unused portion of the credit facility; and $0.2 million of amortization of the discount on
the senior notes and deferred debt issuance costs. In the three months ended September 30, 2004,
interest expense consisted of: $0.2 million of interest on our then outstanding debt and $0.1
million of commitment fees on the unused portion of the credit facility and amortization of
deferred debt issuance costs.
Minority Interest in Earnings of Rio Grande
The minority interest related to the 30% of Rio Grande that we do not own reduced our income in the
third quarter of 2005 by $0.1 million as compared to $0.3 million in the third quarter of 2004.
Results of Operations Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared with Nine Months Ended
September 30, 2004
Summary
Net income was $19.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, a decrease of $6.3
million from $26.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The decrease in income
was principally due to the inclusion in earnings in the prior year period of the crude oil and
intermediate product pipelines that were not contributed to the Partnership, reduced revenues from
the Rio Grande Pipeline, general and administrative charges currently being incurred by the
Partnership that were not allocated prior to the initial public offering, and interest expense
principally related to the senior notes issued in connection with the Alon and intermediate
pipelines transactions, partially offset by the additional income generated from the assets
acquired from Alon and the intermediate pipelines acquired from Holly, and additional revenues from
our existing pipelines and terminals.
Revenues
Revenues of $57.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were $5.8 million greater
than the $51.8 million in the comparable period of 2004, principally due to $12.2 million of
revenues from the pipeline and terminal assets acquired from Alon following the February 28, 2005
acquisition and $2.2 million of revenues from the intermediate pipeline assets acquired from Holly
on July 8, 2005, partially offset by revenues of $7.9 million in the nine months ended September
30, 2004 from assets not originally contributed to the Partnership. Also, we had additional
revenues from our existing pipelines and terminals of $1.6 million and reduced revenues from the
Rio Grande Pipeline of $2.3 million.
Revenues from refined product pipelines increased by $9.6 million from $34.6 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004 to $44.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005.
Shipments on the Partnerships refined product pipelines averaged 126.5 mbpd for the nine months
ended September 30, 2005 as compared to 93.3 mbpd for the nine months ended September 30, 2004,
principally due to the incremental March to September 2005 volumes from the pipelines acquired from
Alon, combined with increased volumes shipped by Holly and its affiliates, partially offset by
reduced volumes shipped on the Rio Grande Pipeline. Revenues from the intermediate product
pipelines
- 31 -
Table of Contents
purchased from Holly in July 2005 contributed $2.2 million to revenue in the nine months ended
September 30, 2005. Revenues from crude system and intermediate pipeline assets not contributed to
HEP were $7.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, as a result of including
operations of the predecessor only until July 13, 2004, the commencement of operations of HEP. As
anticipated, during the first quarter of 2005 based on the aggregate volumes shipped by BP on the
Rio Grande Pipeline, BP is no longer required to pay the border crossing fee pursuant to its
contract. For the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, the border crossing fee was $0.8
million and $3.2 million, respectively.
Revenues from terminal and truck loading rack service fees increased by $1.8 million from $9.3
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004 to $11.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005. Refined products terminalled in our facilities for the comparable periods rose
to 163.4 mbpd in the first nine months of 2005 from 141.0 mbpd in the 2004 first nine months, due
to the incremental March to September 2005 volumes from the terminals acquired from Alon and volume
gains at our existing terminals.
Operating Costs
Operating costs increased $0.3 million from the third quarter of 2004 to the third quarter of 2005.
This increase in expense was principally due to $2.1 million of operating costs relating to the
assets acquired from Alon, combined with operating costs of $0.3 million for the intermediate
pipelines that were acquired in July 2005, partially offset by operating costs of $2.3 million for
the crude oil and intermediate pipelines that were not contributed to HEP in July 2004.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization was $4.7 million higher in the nine months ended September 30, 2005
than in the nine months ended September 30, 2004, due principally to the increase in depreciation
from the assets acquired from Alon.
General and Administrative
General and administrative costs were $3.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, an
increase of $2.1 million from $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. No
general and administrative costs were incurred in the first half of 2004, as prior to HEPs
formation date of July 13, 2004, as Holly did not allocate any general and administrative costs to
its subsidiaries.
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 totaled $6.5 million, an increase of
$6.2 million from $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The increase is due
to the debt issued in connection with the Alon and intermediate pipelines acquisitions. In the
nine months ended September 30, 2005, interest expense consisted of: $5.7 million of interest on
the outstanding debt, net of the impact of the interest rate swap; $0.3 million of commitment fees
on the unused portion of the Credit Agreement; and $0.5 million of amortization of the discount on
the Senior Notes and deferred debt issuance costs. As no interest expense was incurred prior to
formation on July 13, 2004, only $0.3 million of interest expense was recorded on the Credit
Agreement and commitment fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2004.
Minority Interest in Earnings of Rio Grande
The minority interest related to the 30% of Rio Grande that we do not own reduced our income by
$0.4 million in nine months ended September 30, 2005 compared to $1.3 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 2004.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
Prior to our initial public offering, Holly utilized a common treasury function for all of its
subsidiaries, whereby all cash receipts were deposited in Holly bank accounts and all cash
disbursements were made from these accounts. Cash receipts from customers and cash payments to
vendors for NPL were recorded in these common accounts. Thus, prior to our initial public
offering, no cash balances were reflected in the accounts of NPL other than the cash balances of
Rio Grande. Cash transactions handled by Holly for NPL were reflected in accounts receivable from
affiliates and accounts payable to affiliates. Holly did not contribute these affiliate payables
and receivables balances to HEP.
We completed our initial public offering of 7,000,000 common units of HEP on July 13, 2004,
realizing net proceeds of $145.5 million. Concurrent with the closing of the offering we entered
into a four-year $100 million revolving credit facility agreement and borrowed $25 million under
the agreement. The proceeds from the public offering and the borrowings were used to (1) pay
offering costs of $3.5 million and deferred debt issuance costs of $1.4 million, (2) repay $30.1
million of debt we owed to Holly and (3) make a $125.6 million distribution to Holly. We retained
$9.9 million to replenish working capital.
With a portion of the proceeds from the February 2005 senior note offering used principally for the
Alon transaction, we repaid $30 million of outstanding indebtedness under our revolving credit
agreement, including $5 million drawn shortly before the closing of the Alon transaction. As of
September 30, 2005, we have no amounts outstanding under the revolving credit agreement, and now
have $100 million available and unused under our revolving credit agreement. We believe our
current cash balances, future internally-generated funds and funds available under our revolving
credit agreement will provide sufficient resources to meet our working capital liquidity needs for
the foreseeable future. In August 2005, we paid a regular cash distribution for the second quarter
of 2005 of $0.575 on all units, an aggregate amount of $9.5 million. Included in this distribution
was $63,000 paid to the general partner as an incentive distribution, as the distribution per unit
exceeded $0.55.
We financed a portion of the cash consideration paid for the Intermediate Pipelines with $45.1
million of proceeds raised from the private sale of 1,100,000 of our common units to a limited
number of institutional investors which closed simultaneously with the closing of the acquisition
of the Intermediate Pipelines on July 8, 2005. On September 2, 2005, we filed a registration
statement with the SEC using a shelf registration process which will allow the institutional
investors to freely transfer their units. Additionally under this shelf process, we may offer from
time to time up to $800 million of our securities, through one or more prospectus supplements that
would describe, among other things, the specific amounts, prices and terms of any securities
offered and how the proceeds would be used. Any proceeds from the sale of securities would be used
for general business purposes, which may include, among other things, funding acquisitions of
assets or businesses, working capital, capital expenditures, investments in subsidiaries, the
retirement of existing debt and/or the repurchase of common units or other securities.
Cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.4 million during the nine months ended September 30,
2005. The cash flow generated from operating activities of $30.7 million in addition to the cash
provided by financing activities of $100.9 million exceeded the cash used for investing activities
of $130.2 million. Working capital increased during the nine months by $0.8 million to $19.9
million at September 30, 2005.
Cash Flows Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities increased by $25.8 million from $4.9 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004 to $30.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Net
income for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $19.7 million, a decrease of $6.3 million
from net income of $26.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The non-cash items
of depreciation and amortization, minority interest, and equity-based compensation increased $3.9
million in the first nine months of 2005 from the same period in 2004. Total working capital items
did not change significantly during the nine months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to a
decrease of $27.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. The large decrease for the
nine months ended
- 33 -
Table of Contents
September 30, 2004 was principally due to an increase in accounts receivable affiliates, which
were not contributed to HEP upon formation in July 2004.
Cash Flows Investing Activities
Cash flows used for investing activities increased from $2.8 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2004 to $130.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005. On February 28,
2005, we closed on the Alon transaction which required $120 million in cash plus transaction costs
of $2.0 million. Additionally, we issued 937,500 Class B subordinated units valued at $24.7
million to Alon as part of the consideration. See Alon Transaction below for additional
information. On July 8, 2005, we closed on the acquisition of the Holly intermediate pipelines for
$81.5 million, which consisted of $77.7 million in cash, 70,000 common units of HEP and a capital
account credit of $1.0 million to maintain Hollys existing general partner interest in the
Partnership. As this was a transaction between entities under common control, we accounted for the
excess cash purchase price over the asset basis as a deemed distribution of $71.9 million, which is
included in cash flows from financing activities. See Holly Intermediate Pipelines Transaction
below for additional information. Additions to properties and equipment for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 was $2.4 million, a decrease of $0.4 million from $2.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004.
Cash Flows Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities amounted to $100.9 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2005. We received proceeds of $147.4 million from the issuance of senior notes in
connection with the Alon asset acquisition. Additionally, we used proceeds from the original
senior note offering to repay $30 million of outstanding indebtedness under our credit agreement,
including $5 million drawn shortly before the closing of the Alon transaction. In June 2005, in
anticipation of the July 2005 Holly intermediate pipelines transaction, we received additional
proceeds from senior notes issued of $33.9 million. See Senior Notes Due 2015 below for
additional information. We financed a portion of the cash consideration paid for the intermediate
pipelines with $45.1 million of proceeds raised from the private sale of 1,100,000 of our common
units to a limited number of institutional investors which closed simultaneously with the closing
of the acquisition of the intermediate pipelines on July 8, 2005. Of the cash paid to Holly for
the intermediate pipelines, the $71.9 excess of the cash paid over the asset basis is considered a
deemed distribution to partners. During the first nine months of 2005, we paid cash distributions
on all units and the general partner interest in the aggregate amount of $25.0 million. Other cash
flows from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 included an
additional capital contribution from our general partner of $0.6 million and deferred debt issuance
costs incurred of $1.2 million. We completed our initial public offering of 7,000,000 common units
on July 13, 2004, receiving net proceeds of $145.5 million and drawing $25 million on our credit
agreement. The proceeds from these financings were utilized to repay $30.1 million owed to Holly
as well as making a $125.6 million distribution to Holly. In addition, we used $3.5 million to pay
for offering costs and $1.4 million to pay deferred debt issuance costs associated with our credit
agreement. Distributions to the minority interest owner in Rio Grande were $2.0 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2005, a decrease of $0.8 million from $2.8 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2004
Capital Requirements
Our pipeline and terminalling operations are capital intensive, requiring investments to maintain,
expand, upgrade or enhance existing operations and to meet environmental and operations
regulations. Our capital requirements have consisted of, and are expected to continue to consist
primarily of, maintenance capital expenditures and expansion capital expenditures. Maintenance
capital expenditures represent capital expenditures to replace partially or fully depreciated
assets to maintain the operating capacity of existing assets. Maintenance capital expenditures
include expenditures required to maintain equipment reliability, tankage and pipeline integrity,
and safety and to address environmental regulations. Expansion capital expenditures represent
capital expenditures to expand the operating capacity of existing or new assets, whether through
construction or acquisition. Expansion capital expenditures include expenditures to acquire assets
to grow our business and to expand existing facilities, such as projects that increase throughput
capacity on our pipelines and in our terminals. Repair and maintenance expenses associated with
existing assets that are minor in nature and do not extend the useful life of existing assets are
- 34 -

charged to operating expenses as incurred.
We have budgeted average annual maintenance capital expenditures for our current operations of $2.0
million in 2005, which we anticipate will be funded with cash generated by operations. However, we
anticipate funding future expansion capital requirements through long-term borrowings or other debt
financings and/or equity capital offerings. Additionally, we have agreed to expend up to $3.5
million to expand the capacity of the Intermediate Pipelines acquired in July 2005 to meet the
needs of Hollys previously announced expansion of their Navajo Refinery.
Credit Agreement
In conjunction with our initial public offering on July 13, 2004, we entered into a four-year, $100
million senior secured revolving credit agreement (the Credit Agreement). Union Bank of
California, N.A. is a lender and serves as administrative agent under this agreement. Upon closing
of our initial public offering, we drew $25 million under the Credit Agreement, which was
outstanding at December 31, 2004.
We amended the Credit Agreement effective February 28, 2005 to allow for the closing of the Alon
transaction and the related senior notes offering as well as to amend certain of the restrictive
covenants. With a portion of the proceeds from the senior note offering, we repaid $30 million of
outstanding indebtedness under the Credit Agreement, including $5 million drawn shortly before the
closing of the Alon transaction. As of June 17, 2005, we amended the Credit Agreement to restate
the definition of certain terms used in the restrictive covenants. Additionally, we amended the
Credit Agreement effective July 8, 2005 to allow for the closing of the Holly intermediate
pipelines transaction as well as to amend certain of the restrictive covenants. As of September
30, 2005, we had no amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
The Credit Agreement is available to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions, and working capital
and for general partnership purposes. Advances under the Credit Agreement that are designated for
working capital are short-term liabilities. Other advances under the Credit Agreement are
classified as long-term liabilities. In addition, the Credit Agreement is available to fund
letters of credit up to a $50 million sub-limit. Up to $5 million is available to fund
distributions to unit holders.
We have the right to request an increase in the maximum amount of the Credit Agreement, up to $175
million. Such request will become effective if (i) certain conditions specified in the Credit
Agreement are met and (ii) existing lenders under the Credit Agreement or other financial
institutions reasonably acceptable to the administrative agent commit to lend such increased
amounts under the agreement.
Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by substantially all of our assets, however
such security related to the assets acquired from Alon is junior to Alons security interest.
Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is recourse to our general partner and guaranteed by our
wholly-owned subsidiaries.
We may prepay all loans at any time without penalty. We are required to reduce all working capital
borrowings under the Credit Agreement to zero for a period of at least 15 consecutive days once
each twelve-month period prior to the maturity date of the agreement. The initial $25 million
borrowing was not a working capital borrowing under the Credit Agreement and was classified as a
long-term liability at December 31, 2004.
Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement bears interest, at our option, at either (i) the base rate
as announced by the administrative agent plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.25% to 1.00%) or
(ii) at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.50% to 2.25%). In each
case, the applicable margin is based upon the ratio of our funded debt (as defined in the
agreement) to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined in
the Credit Agreement). We incur a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Credit Agreement at
a rate of 0.375% or 0.500% based upon the ratio of our funded debt to EBITDA for the four most
recently completed fiscal quarters. The agreement matures in July 2008. At that time, the
agreement will terminate and all outstanding amounts thereunder will be due and payable.
- 35 -
Table of Contents
The Credit Agreement imposes certain requirements, including: a prohibition against distribution to
unitholders if, before or after the distribution, a potential default or an event of default as
defined in the agreement would occur; limitations on our ability to incur debt, make loans, acquire
other companies, change the nature of our business, enter a merger or consolidation, or sell
assets; and covenants that require maintenance of EBITDA to interest expense ratio and debt to
EBITDA ratio. If an event of default exists under the agreement, the lenders will be able to
accelerate the maturity of the debt and exercise other rights and remedies.
Senior Notes Due 2015
We financed the $120 million cash portion of the consideration for the Alon transaction through our
private offering on February 28, 2005 of $150 million principal amount of 6.25% senior notes due
2015 (Senior Notes). We used the balance to repay $30 million of outstanding indebtedness under
our Credit Agreement, including $5 million drawn shortly before the closing of the Alon
transaction. We financed a portion of the cash consideration for the Intermediate Pipelines
transaction with the private offering in June 2005 of an additional $35.0 million in principal
amount of the Senior Notes.
The Senior Notes mature on March 1, 2015 and bear interest at 6.25%. The Senior Notes are
unsecured and impose certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur
additional indebtedness, make investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, pay distributions,
enter into transactions with affiliates, and enter into mergers. At any time when the Senior Notes
are rated investment grade by both Moodys and Standard & Poors and no default or event of default
exists, we will not be subject to many of the foregoing covenants. Additionally, we have certain
redemption rights under the Senior Notes.
On July 28, 2005, we filed a registration statement to allow the holders of the Senior Notes to
exchange the Senior Notes for exchange notes registered with the SEC with substantially identical
terms, which registration became effective in September 2005. The exchange offer expired on
October 21, 2005 and we issued the new registered Senior Notes on October 25, 2005. The exchange
notes are generally freely transferable but are a new issue of securities for which certain of the
initial purchasers have indicated they intend to make a market but for which there may not
initially be a market.
The $185.0 million principal amount of Senior Notes is recorded at $181.3 on our accompanying
consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2005. The difference is due to the $3.6 million
unamortized discount and $72,000 relating to the interest rate swap contract discussed below.
Alon Transaction
On February 28, 2005, we closed on a contribution agreement with Alon that provided for our
acquisition of four refined products pipelines aggregating approximately 500 miles, an associated
tank farm and two refined products terminals with aggregate storage capacity of approximately
347,000 barrels. These pipelines and terminals are located primarily in Texas and transport
approximately 70% of the light refined products for Alons 65,000 bpd capacity refinery in Big
Spring, Texas.
The total consideration paid for these pipeline and terminal assets was $120 million in cash and
937,500 of our Class B subordinated units which, subject to certain conditions, will convert into
an equal number of common units in five years. We financed the cash portion of the Alon
transaction through our private offering of the $150 million Senior Notes. We used the proceeds of
the offering to fund the $120 million cash portion of the consideration for the Alon transaction,
and used the balance to repay $30 million of outstanding indebtedness under our Credit Agreement,
including $5 million drawn shortly before the closing of the Alon transaction. In connection with
the Alon transaction, we entered into a 15-year pipelines and terminals agreement with Alon. Under
this agreement, Alon agreed to transport on the pipelines and throughput volumes through the
terminals, a volume of refined products that would result in minimum revenues to us of $20.2
million per year in the first year. The agreed upon tariffs at the minimum volume commitment will
increase or decrease each year at a rate equal to the percentage change in the producer price
index, but not below the initial tariffs. Alons minimum volume commitment was calculated based on
90% of Alons then recent usage of these pipeline and terminals taking into account a 5,000 bpd
expansion of Alons Big Spring Refinery completed in February 2005. At revenue levels above 105%
- 36 -
Table of Contents
of the base revenue amount, as adjusted each year for changes in the PPI, Alon will receive an
annual 50% discount on incremental revenues. Alons obligations under the pipelines and terminals
agreement may be reduced or suspended under certain circumstances. We granted Alon a second
mortgage on the pipelines and terminals acquired from Alon to secure certain of Alons rights under
the pipelines and terminals agreement. Alon will have a right of first refusal to purchase the
pipelines and terminals if we decide to sell them in the future. Additionally, we entered into an
environmental agreement with Alon with respect to pre-closing environmental costs and liabilities
relating to the pipelines and terminals acquired from Alon, where Alon will indemnify us subject to
a $100,000 deductible and a $20 million maximum liability cap.
The consideration for the Alon pipeline and terminal assets was allocated to the individual assets
acquired based on their estimated fair values as determined by an independent appraisal. The
aggregate consideration amounted to $146.7 million, which consisted of $24.7 million fair value of
our Class B subordinated units, $120 million in cash and $2.0 million of transaction costs. In
accounting for this acquisition, we recorded pipeline and terminal assets of $86.7 million and an
intangible asset of $60.0 million, representing the value of the 15-year pipelines and terminals
agreement for transportation.
Holly Intermediate Pipelines Transaction
On July 6, 2005, we entered into a definitive purchase agreement (the Purchase Agreement) with
Holly to acquire Hollys two 65-mile parallel intermediate feedstock pipelines (the
Intermediate Pipelines) which connect its Lovington, NM and Artesia, NM refining facilities. On
July 8, 2005, we closed on the acquisition for $81.5 million, which consisted of $77.7 million in
cash, 70,000 common units of HEP and a capital account credit of $1.0 million to maintain Hollys
existing general partner interest in the Partnership. We financed the cash portion of the
consideration for the Intermediate Pipelines with the proceeds raised from (i) the private sale of
1,100,000 of our common units for $45.1 million to a limited number of institutional investors
which closed simultaneously with the acquisition and (ii) an additional $35.0 million in principal
amount of our 6.25% Senior Notes due 2015. This acquisition was made pursuant to an option to
purchase these pipelines granted by Holly to us at the time of our initial public offering in July
2004.
In connection with this transaction, we entered into a 15-year pipelines agreement with Holly.
Under this agreement, Holly agreed to transport volumes of intermediate products on the
Intermediate Pipelines that, at the agreed tariff rates, will result in minimum revenues to us of
approximately $11.8 million per calendar year. The minimum commitment and the full base tariff
will be adjusted each year at a rate equal to the percentage change in the PPI, but the minimum
commitment will not decrease as a result of a decrease in the PPI. Hollys minimum revenue
commitment will apply only to the Intermediate Pipelines, and Holly will not be able to spread its
minimum revenue commitment among pipeline assets HEP already owns or subsequently acquires. If
Holly fails to meet its minimum revenue commitment in any quarter, it will be required to pay us in
cash the amount of any shortfall by the last day of the month following the end of the quarter. A
shortfall payment may be applied as a credit in the following four quarters after Hollys minimum
obligations are met. The pipelines agreement may be extended by the mutual agreement of the
parties.
We have agreed to expend up to $3.5 million to expand the capacity of the Intermediate Pipelines to
meet the needs of Hollys previously announced expansion of their Navajo Refinery. If new laws or
regulations are enacted that require us to make substantial and unanticipated capital expenditures
with regard to the Intermediate Pipelines, we have the right to amend the tariff rates to recover
our costs of complying with these new laws or regulations (including a reasonable rate of return).
Under certain circumstances, either party may temporarily suspend its obligations under the
pipelines agreement. We granted Holly a second mortgage on the Intermediate Pipelines to secure
certain of Hollys rights under the pipelines agreement. Holly has agreed to provide $2.5 million
of additional indemnification above that previously provided in the Omnibus Agreement for
environmental noncompliance and remediation liabilities occurring or existing before the closing
date of the Purchase Agreement, bringing the total indemnification provided to us from Holly to
$17.5 million. Of this total, indemnification above $15 million relates solely to the Intermediate
Pipelines.

As this transaction is among entities under common control, we recorded the acquired assets at
Hollys historic book value of $6.8 million, resulting in a deemed distribution to Holly of $71.9
million for financial accounting purposes.

Impact of Inflation
Inflation in the United States has been relatively low in recent years and did not have a material
impact on our results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2005
and 2004.
Environmental Matters
Our operation of pipelines, terminals, and associated facilities in connection with the storage and
transportation of refined products is subject to stringent and complex federal, state, and local
laws and regulations governing the discharge of materials into the environment, or otherwise
relating to the protection of the environment. As with the industry generally, compliance with
existing and anticipated laws and regulations increases our overall cost of business, including our
capital costs to construct, maintain, and upgrade equipment and facilities. While these laws and
regulations affect our maintenance capital expenditures and net income, we believe that they do not
affect our competitive position because the operations of our competitors are similarly affected.
We believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and
regulations. These laws and regulations are subject to change by regulatory authorities, and we
are unable to predict the ongoing cost to us of complying with these laws and regulations or the
future impact of these laws and regulations on our operations. However, if new laws or regulations
that affect terminals or pipelines are enacted that require us to make substantial and
unanticipated capital expenditures, we will be able to recover a portion of the cost from Holly.
See Agreements with Holly Corporation for further discussion. Violation of environmental laws,
regulations, and permits can result in the imposition of significant administrative, civil and
criminal penalties, injunctions, and construction bans or delays. A discharge of hydrocarbons or
hazardous substances into the environment could, to the extent the event is not insured, subject us
to substantial expense, including both the cost to comply with applicable laws and regulations and
claims made by neighboring landowners and other third parties for personal injury and property
damage.
We inspect our pipelines regularly using equipment rented from third party suppliers. Third
parties also assist us in interpreting the results of the inspections.
Holly has agreed to indemnify us in an aggregate amount not to exceed $17.5 million
(indemnification above $15 million relates solely to the Intermediate Pipelines acquired in July
2005), subject to a $200,000 deductible, through July 2014 for environmental noncompliance and
remediation liabilities associated with the assets transferred to us and occurring or existing
before the respective closing date. Additionally, we entered into an environmental agreement with
Alon with respect to pre-closing environmental costs and liabilities relating to the pipelines and
terminals acquired from Alon, under which Alon will indemnify us subject to a $100,000 deductible
and a $20 million maximum liability cap.

Table of Contents
Contamination resulting from spills of refined products and crude oil is not unusual within the
petroleum pipeline industry. Historic spills along our pipelines and terminals as a result of past
operations have resulted in contamination of the environment, including soils and groundwater.
Site conditions, including soils and groundwater, are being evaluated at a few of our properties
where operations may have resulted in releases of hydrocarbons and other wastes.
We may experience future releases of refined products into the environment from our pipelines and
terminals, or discover historical releases that were previously unidentified or not assessed.
While we maintain an extensive inspection and audit program designed, as applicable, to prevent and
to detect and address these releases promptly, damages and liabilities incurred due to any future
environmental releases from our assets nevertheless have the potential to substantially affect our
business.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our
consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements
requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as
of the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under
different assumptions or conditions. We consider the following policies to be the most critical to
understanding the judgments that are involved and the uncertainties that could impact our results
of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Conditions and Operations Critical Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Certain critical accounting policies that materially
affect the amounts recorded in our consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition,
assessing the possible impairment of certain long-lived assets and assessing contingent liabilities
for probable losses. There have been no changes to these policies in 2005.
Recent Accounting Pronouncement
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123 (revised), Share-Based Payment. This revision prescribes the
accounting for a wide range of equity-based compensation arrangements, including share options,
restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share
purchase plans, and generally requires the fair value of equity-based awards to be expensed on the
income statement. This standard was to become effective for us for the first interim period
beginning after June 15, 2005, however in April 2005, the SEC allowed for the delay in the
implementation of this standard, with the result that we are now required to adopt this standard
for our 2006 year. SFAS 123 (revised) allows for either modified prospective recognition of
compensation expense or modified retrospective recognition, which may be back to the original
issuance of SFAS 123 or only to interim periods in the year of adoption. We elected early adoption
of this standard on July 1, 2005 based on modified prospective application. The adoption of this
standard did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
In May 2005, the FASB issued SFAS No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections a
replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3. This statement changes the
requirements for accounting for and reporting a change in accounting principles and applies to all
voluntary changes in accounting principles. It also applies to changes required by an accounting
pronouncement in the unusual instance that the pronouncement does not include specific transition
provisions. When a pronouncement includes specific transition provisions, those provisions should
be followed. This statement requires retrospective application to prior periods financial
statements of changes in accounting principles, unless it is impracticable to determine either the
period-specific effects or the cumulative effect of change. This statement becomes effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005.

ADDITIONAL FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS
Additional factors that may affect future results are described in Item 7. Managements Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Operations Additional Factors That May Affect Future
Results in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
RISK MANAGEMENT
We have entered into an interest rate swap contract to effectively convert the interest expense
associated with $60 million of our 6.25% Senior Notes from a fixed rate to variable rates. Under
the swap agreement, we receive 6.25% fixed rate on the notional amount and pay a variable rate
equal to three month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.1575%. The variable rate being paid on
the notional amount at September 30, 2005 was 5.0275%, including the applicable margin. The
maturity of the swap contract is March 1, 2015, matching the maturity of the Senior Notes.
This interest rate swap has been designated as a fair value hedge as defined by SFAS No. 133. Our
interest rate swap meets the conditions required to assume no ineffectiveness under SFAS No. 133
and, therefore, we have used the shortcut method of accounting prescribed for fair value hedges
by SFAS No. 133. Accordingly, we adjust the carrying value of each swap to its fair value each
quarter, with an offsetting entry to adjust the carrying value of the debt securities whose fair
value is being hedged. We record interest expense equal to the variable rate payments under the
swaps.
The fair value of the interest rate swap agreement of $72,000 is included in Other long-term
liabilities in our accompanying consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2005. The offsetting
entry to adjust the carrying value of the debt securities whose fair value is being hedged is
recognized as a reduction of Long-term debt on our accompanying consolidated balance sheet at
September 30, 2005.
The market risk inherent in our debt instruments and positions is the potential change arising from
increases or decreases in interest rates as discussed below.
At September 30, 2005, we had an outstanding principal balance on our unsecured Senior Notes of
$185.0 million. By means of our interest rate swap contract, we have effectively converted $60.0
million of the Senior Notes from a fixed rate to variable rate. For the fixed rate debt portion of
$125.0 million, changes in interest rates would generally affect the fair value of the debt, but
not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for the variable rate debt portion of $60.0 million,
changes in interest rates would generally not impact the fair value of the debt, but may affect our
future earnings and cash flows. We estimate a hypothetical 10% change in the yield-to-maturity
applicable to our fixed rate debt portion of $125.0 million as of September 30, 2005 would result
in a change of approximately $5.5 million in the fair value of the debt. A hypothetical 10% change
in the interest rate applicable to our variable rate debt portion of $60.0 million would not have a
material effect on our earnings or cash flows.
At September 30, 2005, our cash and cash equivalents were made up of highly liquid investments with
a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. Due to the short-term nature of our
cash and cash equivalents, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would not have a material
effect on the fair market value of our portfolio. Since we have the ability to liquidate this
portfolio, we do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be materially affected to any
significant degree by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates on our investment
portfolio.
Our operations are subject to normal hazards of operations, including fire, explosion and
weather-related perils. We maintain various insurance coverages, including business interruption
insurance, subject to certain deductibles. We are not fully insured against certain risks because
such risks are not fully insurable, coverage is unavailable, or premium costs, in our judgment, do
not justify such expenditures.

Item 3. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks |
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. See Risk
Management under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations for a discussion of market risk exposures that we have with respect to our cash and
cash equivalents and long-term debt. We utilize derivative instruments to hedge our interest rate
exposure, also discussed under Risk Management.
Since we do not own products shipped on our pipelines or terminalled at our terminal facilities we
do not have market risks associated with commodity prices.
Item 4. | Controls and Procedures |
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated, as required by Rule
13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), our disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by
this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and
principal financial officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in ensuring that information we are required to disclose in the reports
that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have materially
affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial
reporting.
