This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this Form 10-Q, including, but not limited to, those under “Results of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” in Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in Part I are forward-looking statements. These statements are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions using currently available information and expectations as of the date hereof, are not guarantees of future performance, and involve certain risks and uncertainties. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will prove correct. Therefore, actual outcomes and results could differ materially from what is expressed, implied or forecast in these statements. Any differences could be caused by a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

	•		Risks and uncertainties with respect to the actual quantities of petroleum products and crude oil shipped on our pipelines and/or terminalled in our terminals;
	•		The economic viability of Holly Corporation, Alon USA, Inc. and our other customers;
	•		The demand for refined petroleum products in markets we serve;
	•		Our ability to successfully purchase and integrate additional operations in the future;
	•		Our ability to complete previously announced pending or contemplated acquisitions;
	•		The availability and cost of additional debt and equity financing;
	•		The possibility of reductions in production or shutdowns at refineries utilizing our pipeline and terminal facilities;
	•		The effects of current and future government regulations and policies;
	•		Our operational efficiency in carrying out routine operations and capital construction projects;
	•		The possibility of terrorist attacks and the consequences of any such attacks;
	•		General economic conditions; and
	•		Other financial, operations and legal risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in our Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

Cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations are set forth in this Form 10-Q, including without limitation, in conjunction with the forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q that are referred to above. When considering forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind the risk factors and other cautionary statements set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 in “Risk Factors,” and in this Form 10-Q in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. All forward-looking statements included in this Form 10-Q and all subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date made and, other than as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

Note 1: Description of Business and Presentation of Financial Statements

Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”) together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is a publicly held master limited partnership, currently 46% owned by Holly Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively “Holly”). HEP commenced operations July 13, 2004 upon the completion of its initial public offering. In this document, the words “we”, “our”, “ours” and “us” refer to HEP unless the context otherwise indicates.

Holly recognizes us as a variable interest entity. Our purchase of Holly’s crude pipelines and tankage assets on February 29, 2008 qualified as a reconsideration event whereby Holly reassessed their beneficial interest in us and determined that their beneficial interest in us exceeds 50%. Accordingly, Holly reconsolidated us effective March 1, 2008.

We operate in one business segment — the operation of petroleum product and crude oil pipelines, tankage and terminal facilities.

One of Holly’s wholly-owned subsidiaries owns a refinery in Artesia, New Mexico, which Holly operates in conjunction with crude, vacuum distillation and other facilities situated in Lovington, New Mexico (collectively, the “Navajo Refinery”). The Navajo Refinery produces high-value refined products such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel and serves markets in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. We own and operate the two parallel intermediate feedstock pipelines (the “Intermediate Pipelines”), which connect the New Mexico refining facilities. Our refined product pipelines serve as part of the product distribution network that services the Navajo Refinery. Our terminal operations serving the Navajo Refinery include a truck rack at the Navajo Refinery and four integrated refined product terminals located in New Mexico, Texas and Arizona. On February 29, 2008, we acquired pipeline and tankage assets from Holly (the “Crude Pipelines and Tankage Assets”) that also service the Navajo Refinery. See Note 2 for a further description of these assets.

Another of Holly’s wholly-owned subsidiaries owns a refinery located near Salt Lake City, Utah (the “Woods Cross Refinery”). Our operations serving the Woods Cross Refinery include a truck rack at the refinery, a refined product terminal in Spokane, Washington and a 50% non-operating interest in product terminals in Boise and Burley, Idaho. See Note 2 for a description of the Crude Pipelines and Tankage Assets that also service the Woods Cross Refinery.

We also own and operate refined products pipelines and terminals, located primarily in Texas, that service Alon USA, Inc.’s (“Alon”) refinery in Big Spring, Texas.

Additionally, we own a refined product terminal in Mountain Home, Idaho, and a 70% interest in Rio Grande Pipeline Company (“Rio Grande”), which provides transportation of liquid petroleum gases to northern Mexico.

The consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, which, in the opinion of management, are 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 Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. Results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations that will be realized for the year ending December 31, 2008.

We have reclassified state income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 to conform to our current presentation. State income taxes were previously classified as operations and general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statement of income.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157 “Fair Value Measurements”
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This standard simplifies and codifies guidance on fair value measurements under generally accepted accounting principles. This standard defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and prescribes expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. It also establishes a fair value hierarchy that categorizes inputs used in fair value measurements into three broad levels. Under this hierarchy, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities are considered the most reliable evidence of fair value and are given the highest priority level (level 1). Unobservable inputs are considered the least reliable and are given the lowest priority level (level 3). We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2008.

We have interest rate swaps that we measure at fair value on a recurring basis using level 2 inputs. See Note 5 for additional information on these swaps.

EITF No. 07-04 “Application of the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, to Master Limited Partnerships”

In March 2008, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 07-04, Application of the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128 to Master Limited Partnerships (“MLP’s). This standard provides guidance in the application of the two-class method in computing earnings per unit to reflect an MLP’s contractual obligation to make distributions to the general partner, limited partners, and incentive distribution rights holder. EITF No. 07-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt this standard effective January 1, 2009. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. EITF 03-6-1 “Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Transactions Are Participating Securities”

In June 2006, the FASB issued FSP No. 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Transactions Are Participating Securities. This standard provides guidance in determining whether unvested instruments granted under share-based payment transactions are participating securities and, therefore, should be included in earnings per share calculations under the two-class method provided under FASB No. 128, Earnings per Share. FSP No. 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt this standard effective January 1, 2009. We do not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Note 2: Acquisition

On February 29, 2008, we acquired the Crude Pipelines and Tankage Assets from Holly for $180.0 million that consist of crude oil trunk lines that deliver crude oil to Holly’s Navajo Refinery in southeast New Mexico, gathering and connection pipelines located in west Texas and New Mexico, on-site crude tankage located within the Navajo and Woods Cross refinery complexes, a jet fuel products pipeline and leased terminal between Artesia and Roswell, New Mexico, and crude oil and product pipelines that support Holly’s Woods Cross Refinery. The consideration paid consisted of $171.0 million in cash and 217,497 of our common units having a fair value of $9.0 million. We financed the $171.0 million cash portion of the consideration through borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit agreement expiring August 2011.

In connection with this transaction, we entered into a 15-year crude pipelines and tankage agreement with Holly (the “Holly CPTA”). Under this agreement, Holly agreed to transport and store volumes of crude oil on the crude pipelines and tankage facilities that at the agreed rates will result in minimum annual revenues to us of $26.7 million. The agreed upon tariffs on the crude pipelines will be adjusted 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. Additionally, Holly amended our omnibus agreement

(the “Omnibus Agreement”) to provide $7.5 million of indemnification for a period of up to fifteen years for environmental noncompliance and remediation liabilities associated with the Crude Pipelines and Tankage Assets that occurred or existed prior to our acquisition for a period of up to fifteen years.

The consideration paid for the Crude Pipeline and Tankage Assets was allocated to the individual assets acquired based on management’s preliminary fair value estimates. In accounting for this acquisition, we recorded pipeline and terminal assets of $108.0 million and an intangible asset of $72.0 million, representing the allocated value of the Holly CPTA. This intangible asset is included in “Transportation agreements, net” in our consolidated balance sheets.

Note 4: Transportation Agreements

Our transportation agreements consist of the following:

	•		The transportation agreement with Alon represents a portion of the total purchase price of assets purchased from Alon in 2005 that was allocated based on an estimated fair value derived under the income approach. This asset is being amortized over 30 years ending 2035, the 15-year initial term of the pipelines and terminals agreement with Alon plus the expected 15-year extension period.
	•		The Holly crude pipelines and tankage agreement represents a portion of the total purchase price of the Crude Pipelines and Tankage Assets that was allocated based on management’s preliminary estimate of its fair value. This asset is being amortized over 15 years ending 2023, the 15-year term of the Holly CPTA.

Note 5: Debt

Credit Agreement

In February 2008, we amended our $100 million senior secured revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2011 to increase the size from $100 million to $300 million (the “Credit Agreement”), which we used to finance the $171.0 million cash portion of the consideration paid for the Crude Pipelines and Tankage Assets acquired from Holly. Union Bank of California, N.A. is one of the lenders and serves as administrative agent under this agreement. As of September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, we had $195.0 million and zero, respectively, 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 either designated for working capital or have been used as interim financing to fund capital expenditures are classified as 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 $50.0 million sub-limit and to fund distributions to unitholders up to a $20.0 million sub-limit. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we received net advances totaling $24.0 million under the Credit Agreement that were used to fund capital expenditures.

We have the right to request an increase in the maximum amount of the Credit Agreement, up to $370.0 million. Such request will become effective if (a) certain conditions specified in the Credit Agreement are met and (b) 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. Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is recourse to HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P., our general partner, and guaranteed by our wholly-owned subsidiaries. However, any recourse to HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P. would be limited to the extent of their assets, which other than their investment in HEP, are not significant.

We may prepay all loans at any time without penalty, except for payment of certain breakage and related costs. We are required to reduce all working capital borrowings under the Credit Agreement to zero for a period of at least 15 consecutive days in each twelve-month period prior to the maturity date of the agreement.

Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement bears interest, at our option, at either (a) the reference rate as announced by the administrative agent plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.25% to 1.50%) or (b) at a rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.00% to 2.50%). 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 ranging from 0.20% to 0.50% based upon the ratio of our funded debt to EBITDA for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters. At September 30, 2008, we are subject to the 0.375% rate on the $105.0 million of the unused commitment on the Credit Agreement. The agreement matures in August 2011. At that time, the agreement will terminate and all outstanding amounts thereunder will be due and payable.

The Credit Agreement imposes certain requirements on us, 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 a specified 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

Our senior notes maturing March 1, 2015 are registered with the SEC and bear interest at 6.25% (the “Senior Notes”). 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 Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s 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.

Indebtedness under the Senior Notes is recourse to HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P., our general partner, and guaranteed by our wholly-owned subsidiaries. However, any recourse to HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P. would be limited to the extent of their assets, which other than their investment in HEP, are not significant.

Interest Rate Risk Management

As of September 30, 2008, we have two interest rate swap contracts.

We entered into an interest rate swap to hedge our exposure to the cash flow risk caused by the effects of LIBOR changes on the $171.0 million Credit Agreement advance that we used to finance our purchase of the Crude Pipelines and Tankage Assets from Holly. This interest rate swap effectively converts our $171.0 million LIBOR based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate of 3.74% plus an applicable margin, currently 2.0%, which equaled an effective interest rate of 5.74% as of September 30, 2008. The maturity date of this swap contract is February 28, 2013. We intend to renew our Credit Agreement prior to its expiration in August 2011 and continue to finance the $171.0 million balance until the swap matures.

We have designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. Based on our assessment of effectiveness using the change in variable cash flows method, we have determined that this interest rate swap is effective in offsetting the variability in interest payments on our $171.0 million variable rate debt resulting from changes in LIBOR. Under hedge accounting, we adjust our cash flow hedge on a quarterly basis to its fair value with a corresponding offset to accumulated other comprehensive income. Also on a quarterly basis, we measure hedge effectiveness by comparing the present value of the cumulative change in the expected future interest to be paid or received on the variable leg of our swap against the expected future interest payments on our $171.0 million variable rate debt. Any ineffectiveness is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense. As of September 30, 2008, we had no ineffectiveness on our cash flow hedge.

We also have an interest rate swap contract that effectively converts interest expense associated with $60.0 million of our 6.25% Senior Notes from a fixed to a variable rate. Under this swap contract, interest on the $60.0 million notional amount is computed using the three-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.1575%, which equaled an effective interest rate of 3.97% as of September 30, 2008. The maturity date of this 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 and meets the requirements to assume no ineffectiveness. Accordingly, we use the “shortcut” method of accounting. Under this method, we adjust the carrying value of the swap to its fair value on a quarterly basis, with an offsetting entry to our Senior Notes, effectively adjusting the carrying value of $60.0 million of principal on the Senior Notes to its fair value.

We record interest expense equal to the variable rate payments under the swaps. Receipts under the swap agreements are recorded as a reduction of interest expense.

Note 6: 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 under certain provisions of an omnibus agreement we entered into with Holly in July 2004. These employees participate in the retirement and benefit plans of Holly. Our share of retirement and benefits costs was $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $1.6 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

We have adopted an incentive plan (“Long-Term Incentive Plan”) for employees, consultants and non-employee directors who perform services for us. The Long-Term Incentive Plan consists of four components: restricted units, performance units, unit options and unit appreciation rights.

On September 30, 2008, we had two types of equity-based compensation, which are described below. The compensation cost charged against income for these plans was $0.6 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $1.4 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, 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, 2008, 350,000 units were authorized to be granted under the equity-based compensation plans, of which 231,988 had not yet been granted.

Restricted Units

Under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, we grant restricted units to selected employees and directors who perform services for us, with vesting generally over a period of one 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 and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2008, is presented below:

										Weighted-
						Weighted-				Average				Aggregate
						Average				Remaining				Intrinsic
						Grant-Date				Contractual				Value
Restricted Units		Grants				Fair Value				Term				($000)
Outstanding January 1, 2008 (not vested)			44,711			$	44.77
Granted			27,088				38.43
Forfeited			(303	)			44.62
Vesting and transfer of full ownership to recipients			(18,025	)			45.60
Outstanding at September 30, 2008 (not vested)			53,471			$	41.28			1.0 year				$	1,606

There were 18,025 restricted units having an intrinsic value of $0.5 million and a fair value of $0.8 million that were vested and transferred to recipients during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. As of September 30, 2008, there was $0.9 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 1 year.

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 upon meeting the performance criteria over a service period, and generally vest over a period of three years. Our initial performance grant of 1,514 units in 2005 vested in the first quarter of 2008. Payment was 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 amount payable under all other performance unit grants is based upon the growth in distributions per limited partner unit during the requisite period.

We granted 14,337 performance units to certain officers in March 2008. These units will vest over a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2010 and are payable in HEP common units. The number of units actually earned will be based on the growth of distributions to limited partners over the performance period, and can range from 50% to 150% of the number of performance units issued. The fair value of these performance units is based on the grant date closing unit price of $40.54 and will apply to the number of units ultimately awarded.

A summary of performance unit activity and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 is presented below:

		Payable
Performance Units		In Units
Outstanding at January 1, 2008 (not vested)			24,148
Granted			14,337
Forfeited			—
Vesting and payment of cash benefit to recipients			(1,514	)
Outstanding at September 30, 2008 (not vested)			36,971

There were 1,514 performance units having an intrinsic and fair value of $0.1 million that were vested and transferred to recipients during the nine months ended September 30, 2008. Based on the weighted average fair value of $42.10 at September 30, 2008 there was $0.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested performance units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

Note 7: Significant Customers

All revenues are domestic revenues, of which over 90% are currently generated from our three largest customers: Holly, Alon and BP Plc (“BP”). The major concentration of our petroleum products pipeline system’s revenue 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:

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
		September 30,								September 30,
		2008				2007				2008				2007
Holly			77	%			65	%			73	%			61	%

BP			6	%			7	%			8	%			9	%

Note 8: Related Party Transactions

Holly and Alon

As of September 30, 2008, we serve Holly’s refineries in New Mexico and Utah under three 15-year pipeline and terminal and tankage agreements. The substantial majority of our business is devoted to providing transportation, storage and terminalling services to Holly.

We have an agreement that relates to the pipelines and terminals contributed by Holly to us at the time of our initial public offering and expires in 2019 (the “Holly PTA”). Our second agreement with Holly relates to the Intermediate Pipelines acquired from Holly in July 2005 and expires in 2020 (the “Holly IPA”). And third, we have the Holly CPTA that relates to the Crude Pipelines and Tankage Assets acquired from Holly and expires on February 29, 2023 (collectively the “agreements”).

Under these agreements, Holly agreed to transport and store volumes of refined product and crude oil on our pipelines and terminal and tankage facilities that result in minimum annual payments to us. The agreed upon tariffs are adjusted each year on the anniversary date of the agreement 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 our July 1, 2008 PPI rate adjustments, these agreements will result in minimum payments to us of $81.2 million for the twelve months ended June 30, 2009.

We also have a 15-year pipelines and terminals agreement with Alon (the “Alon PTA”), expiring in 2020, under which Alon has agreed to transport on our pipelines and throughput through our terminals volumes of refined products that results in a minimum level of annual revenue. The agreed upon tariffs are increased or decreased annually at a rate equal to the percentage change in PPI, but not below the initial

tariff rate. Following the March 1, 2008 PPI rate adjustment, Alon’s total minimum commitment for the twelve months ending February 28, 2009 is $22.0 million.

If Holly or Alon fail to meet their minimum volume commitments under the agreements 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. With the exception of the Holly CPTA, a shortfall payment may be applied as a credit in the following four quarters after minimum obligations are met.

In October 2007, we entered into an agreement with Holly that amends the Holly PTA under which we have agreed to expand our refined products pipeline system between Artesia, New Mexico and El Paso, Texas (the “South System”). The expansion of the South System includes replacing 85 miles of 8-inch pipe with 12-inch pipe, adding 150,000 barrels of refined product storage at our El Paso Terminal, improving existing pumps, adding a tie-in to the Kinder Morgan pipeline to Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona and making related modifications. The cost of this project is estimated to be $48.3 million. Currently, we are expecting to complete the majority of this project in early 2009.

Under certain provisions of the Omnibus Agreement that we entered with Holly in July 2004 and that expires in 2019, we pay Holly an annual administrative fee for the provision by Holly or its affiliates of various general and administrative services to us. Effective March 1, 2008, the annual fee was increased from $2.1 million to $2.3 million to cover additional general and administrative services attributable to the operations of our Crude Pipelines and Tankage Assets. This fee does not include the salaries of pipeline and terminal personnel or the cost of their employee 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 consideration for Holly’s assistance in obtaining our joint venture opportunity in a new 95-mile intrastate pipeline system (the “SLC Pipeline”) now under construction by Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“Plains”), we will pay Holly a $2.5 million finder’s fee upon the closing of our investment in the joint venture with Plains. See Note 11 for further information on this proposed joint venture.

•

Pipeline, terminal and tankage revenues received from Holly were $22.7 million and $14.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $61.2 million and $44.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These amounts include the revenues received under the Holly PTA, Holly IPA and Holly CPTA.

•

Other revenues received from Holly were $2.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007 related to our sale of inventory of accumulated terminal overages of refined product. These overages arose from net product gains at our terminals from the beginning of 2005 through the third quarter of 2007. In the fourth quarter of 2007, we amended our pipelines and terminals agreement with Holly to provide that, on a go-forward basis, such terminal overages of refined product belong to Holly.

•

Holly charged general and administrative services under the Omnibus Agreement of $0.6 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, and $1.6 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

•

We reimbursed Holly for costs of employees supporting our operations of $3.7 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $9.8 million and $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

•

Holly reimbursed us zero and $80,000 for certain costs paid on their behalf for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and zero and $179,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

•

We distributed $6.5 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, to Holly as regular distributions on its subordinated units, common units and general partner interest. We distributed $18.9 million and $16.9 million to Holly for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

•

Our accounts receivable from Holly were $9.1 million and $5.7 million at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

•

Holly has failed to meet its minimum volume commitment for each of the thirteen quarters since inception of the Holly IPA. We have charged Holly $6.5 million for these shortfalls to date, $0.8 million and zero million of which is included in affiliate accounts receivable at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively.

•

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, our revenues from Holly included $0.4 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of shortfalls billed under the Holly IPA in 2007 as Holly did not exceed its minimum volume commitment in any of the subsequent four quarters. Deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, includes $1.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, relating to the Holly IPA. It is possible that Holly may not exceed its minimum obligations under the Holly IPA to allow Holly to receive credit for any of the $1.9 million deferred at September 30, 2008.

BP

We have a 70% ownership interest in Rio Grande and BP owns the other 30%. Due to the ownership interest and resulting consolidation, BP is a related party to us.

•

BP’s agreement to ship on the Rio Grande pipeline expired on March 31, 2008. Rio Grande is currently serving multiple shippers on the pipeline. We recorded revenues from them of $1.7 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $6.6 million and $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

•

Rio Grande paid distributions to BP of $0.3 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and $1.2 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

•

Included in our accounts receivable – trade at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $0.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively, which represented the receivable balance of Rio Grande from BP.

Alon

Alon became a related party when it acquired all of our Class B subordinated units in connection with our acquisition of assets from them on February 28, 2005.

•

We recognized $1.9 million and $5.0 million of revenues for pipeline transportation and terminalling services under the Alon PTA and $1.8 million and $1.8 million under a pipeline capacity lease for the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We recognized $6.8 million and $15.8 million of revenues for pipeline transportation and terminalling services under the Alon PTA and $5.3 million under pipeline capacity leases for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007.

•

We paid $0.7 million to Alon for distributions on our Class B subordinated units for each of the three months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 and $2.1 million and $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

•

Included in our accounts receivable – trade at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 were $6.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively, which represented the receivable balance from Alon.

•

Our revenues from Alon for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 included $0.9 million and $2.2 million, respectively, of shortfalls billed under the Alon PTA in 2007 as Alon did not exceed its minimum revenue obligation in any of the subsequent four quarters. Deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 includes $12.4 million and $2.6 million, respectively, relating to the Alon PTA. It is possible that Alon may not exceed

its minimum obligations under the Alon PTA to allow Alon to receive credit for any of the $12.4 million deferred at September 30, 2008.

•

Other income of $1.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008 represents a reimbursement from Alon for certain pipeline repair and maintenance costs that were incurred and expensed over a two year period.

Note 9: Partners’ Equity, Allocations and Cash Distributions

Issuances of units

As partial consideration for our purchase of the Crude Pipelines and Tankage Assets, we issued 217,497 of our common units having a fair value of $9.0 million to Holly. Also, Holly purchased an additional 2,503 of our common units for $0.1 million and HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P., our general partner, contributed $0.2 million as an additional capital contribution in order to maintain its 2% general partner interest.

Holly currently holds 7,000,000 of our subordinated units and 290,000 of our common units, which constitutes a 46% ownership interest in us, including the 2% general partner interest. The subordination period applicable to Holly’s subordinated units extends until the first day of any quarter beginning after June 30, 2009 that certain tests based on our exceeding minimum quarterly distributions are met.

Under our registration statement filed with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process, we may offer from time to time up to $800.0 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.

Allocations of Net Income

Net income is allocated between limited partners and the general partner interest in accordance with the provisions of the partnership agreement. Net income allocated to the general partner includes any incentive distributions declared in the period. After the amount of incentive distributions is allocated to the general partner, the remaining net income for the period is generally allocated to the partners based on their weighted average ownership percentage during the period.

Cash Distributions

We consider regular cash distributions to unitholders on a quarterly basis, although there is no assurance as to the future cash distributions since they are dependent upon future earnings, cash flows, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors. Our Credit Agreement prohibits us from making cash distributions if any potential default or event of default, as defined in the Credit Agreement, occurs or would result from the cash distribution.

Within 45 days after the end of each quarter, we will distribute all of our available cash (as defined in our partnership agreement) to unitholders of record on the applicable record date. The amount of available cash generally is all cash on hand at the end of the quarter; less the amount of cash reserves established by our general partner to provide for the proper conduct of our business, comply with applicable law, any of our debt instruments, or other agreements; or provide funds for distributions to our unitholders and to our general partner for any one or more of the next four quarters; plus all cash on hand on the date of determination of available cash for the quarter resulting from working capital borrowings made after the end of the quarter. Working capital borrowings are generally borrowings that are made under our revolving Credit Agreement and in all cases are used solely for working capital purposes or to pay distributions to partners.

We make distributions of available cash from operating surplus for any quarter during any subordination period in the following manner: firstly, 98% to the common unitholders, pro rata, and 2% to the general partner, until we distribute for each outstanding common unit an amount equal to the minimum quarterly distribution for that quarter; secondly, 98% to the common unitholders, pro rata, and 2% to the general partner, until we distribute for each outstanding common unit an amount equal to any arrearages in payment of the minimum quarterly distribution on the common units for any prior quarters during the subordination period; thirdly, 98% to the subordinated unitholders, pro rata, and 2% to the general partner, until we distribute for each subordinated unit an amount equal to the minimum quarterly distribution for that quarter; and thereafter, cash in excess of the minimum quarterly distributions is distributed to the unitholders and the general partner based on the percentages below.

The general partner, HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P., is entitled to incentive distributions if the amount we distribute with respect to any quarter exceeds specified target levels shown below:

						Marginal Percentage Interest in
		Total Quarterly Distribution				Distributions
		Target Amount				Unitholders				General Partner
Minimum Quarterly Distribution		$	0.50				98	%			2	%
First Target Distribution		Up to $0.55					98	%			2	%
Second Target Distribution		above $0.55 up to $0.625					85	%			15	%
Third Target distribution		above $0.625 up to $0.75					75	%			25	%
Thereafter		Above $0.75					50	%			50	%

The following table presents the allocation of our regular quarterly cash distributions to the general and limited partners for each period in which declared.

		Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
		September 30,								September 30,
		2008				2007				2008				2007
		(In thousands, except per unit data)
General partner interest		$	264			$	232			$	776			$	681
General partner incentive distribution			788				592				2,205				1,548
Total general partner distribution			1,052				824				2,981				2,229
Limited partner distribution			12,200				11,359				35,927				33,336
Total regular quarterly cash distribution		$	13,252			$	12,183			$	38,908			$	35,565
Cash distribution per unit applicable to limited partners		$	0.745			$	0.705			$	2.205			$	2.070

On October 24, 2008, we announced a cash distribution for the third quarter of 2008 of $0.755 per unit. The distribution is payable on all common, subordinated, and general partner units and will be paid November 14, 2008 to all unitholders of record on November 5, 2008. The aggregate amount of the distribution will be $13.5 million, including $0.9 million to be paid to the general partner as an incentive distribution.

As a master limited partnership, we distribute our available cash, which has historically exceeded our net income because depreciation and amortization expense represents a non-cash charge against income. The result is a decline in partners’ equity since our regular quarterly distributions have exceeded our quarterly net income.

Note 10: 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 (“Non-Guarantor”), in which we have a 70% ownership interest, is the only subsidiary that 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.
