FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

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. Forward looking statements use words such as “anticipate,” “project,” “expect,” “plan,” “goal,” “forecast,” “intend,” “could,” “believe,” “may,” and similar expressions and statements regarding our plans and objectives for future operations. These statements are based on our beliefs and assumptions and those of our general partner 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 and our general partner believe that such expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, neither we nor our general partner can give assurance that our expectations will prove to be correct. Such statements are subject to a variety of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or if underlying assumptions prove incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, projected or expected. Certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from results anticipated in the forward-looking statements. These factors include, but are 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 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, the forward-looking statements 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, 2009 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

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 34% owned (including the 2% general partner interest) by Holly Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Holly”). We commenced operations on July 13, 2004 upon the completion of our initial public offering. In these consolidated financial statements, the words “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer to HEP unless the context otherwise indicates.

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

We own and operate petroleum product and crude oil pipeline and terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities that support Holly’s refining and marketing operations in west Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Oklahoma, Idaho and Arizona. We also own and operate refined product pipelines and terminals, located primarily in Texas, that service Alon USA, Inc.’s (“Alon”) refinery in Big Spring, Texas. Additionally, we own a 25% joint venture interest in a 95-mile intrastate crude oil pipeline system (the “SLC Pipeline”) that serves refineries in the Salt Lake City area.

We generate revenues by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil through our pipelines, by charging fees for terminalling refined products and other hydrocarbons and storing and providing other services at our storage tanks and terminals. We do not take ownership of products that we transport, terminal or store, and therefore, we are not directly exposed to changes in commodity prices.

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, 2009. 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, 2010.

Note 2: Discontinued Operations

On December 1, 2009, we sold our 70% interest in Rio Grande Pipeline Company (“Rio Grande”) to a subsidiary of Enterprise Products Partners LP for $35 million. Accordingly, results of operations of Rio Grande are presented in discontinued operations.

In accounting for the sale, we recorded a gain of $14.5 million and a receivable of $2.2 million, representing our final distribution from Rio Grande. Our recorded net asset balance of Rio Grande at December 1, 2009, was $22.7 million, consisting of cash of $3.1 million, $29.9 million in properties and equipment, net and $10.3 million in equity, representing BP, Plc’s 30% noncontrolling interest.

Cash flows from continuing and discontinued operations have been combined for presentation purposes in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, net cash flows from our discontinued Rio Grande operations were $4.1 million.

Note 3: Acquisitions

2010 Acquisitions

Tulsa East / Lovington Storage Asset Transaction

On March 31, 2010, we acquired from Holly certain storage assets for $88.6 million consisting of hydrocarbon storage tanks having approximately 2 million barrels of storage capacity, a rail loading rack and a truck unloading rack located at Holly’s Tulsa refinery east facility.

In connection with this purchase, we amended our 15-year pipeline, tankage and loading rack throughput agreement with Holly (the “Holly PTTA”) that initially pertained to the logistics and storage assets acquired from an affiliate of Sinclair Oil Company (“Sinclair”) in December 2009. Under the amended Holly PTTA, Holly has agreed to transport, throughput and load volumes of product through our Tulsa east facility logistics and storage assets that will result in minimum annualized revenues to us of $27.2 million.

Also, as part of this same transaction, we acquired Holly’s asphalt loading rack facility located at its Navajo refinery facility in Lovington, New Mexico for $4.4 million and entered into a 15-year asphalt facility throughput agreement (the “Holly ATA”). Under the Holly ATA, Holly has agreed to throughput a minimum volume of products via our Lovington asphalt loading rack facility that will result in minimum annualized revenues to us of $0.5 million.

We are a controlled subsidiary of Holly. In accounting for these March 2010 acquisitions from Holly, we recorded total property and equipment at Holly’s cost basis of $39 million and the purchase price in excess of Holly’s basis in the assets of $54 million as a decrease to our partners’ equity.

2009 Acquisitions

Sinclair Logistics and Storage Assets Transaction

On December 1, 2009, we acquired from Sinclair storage tanks having approximately 1.4 million barrels of storage capacity and loading racks at its refinery located in Tulsa, Oklahoma for $79.2 million. The purchase price consisted of $25.7 million in cash, including $4.2 million in taxes and 1,373,609 of our common units having a fair value of $53.5 million. Separately, Holly, also a party to the transaction, acquired Sinclair’s Tulsa refinery.

With respect to this purchase, we recorded $30.2 million in properties and equipment, $49.1 million in goodwill and $0.2 million in other long-term liabilities. The value of the acquired assets, which does not include goodwill, is based on management’s fair value estimates using a cost approach methodology.

Roadrunner / Beeson Pipelines Transaction

Also on December 1, 2009, we acquired from Holly two newly constructed pipelines for $46.5 million, consisting of a 65-mile, 16-inch crude oil pipeline (the “Roadrunner Pipeline”) that connects the Navajo refinery Lovington facility to a terminus of Centurion Pipeline L.P.’s pipeline extending between west Texas and Cushing, Oklahoma and a 37-mile, 8-inch crude oil pipeline that connects our New Mexico crude oil gathering system to the Navajo refinery Lovington facility (the “Beeson Pipeline”).

Tulsa West Loading Racks Transaction

On August 1, 2009, we acquired from Holly certain truck and rail loading/unloading facilities located at Holly’s Tulsa refinery west facility for $17.5 million. The racks load refined products and lube oils produced at the Tulsa refinery onto rail cars and/or tanker trucks.

Lovington-Artesia Pipeline Transaction

On June 1, 2009, we acquired from Holly a newly constructed 16-inch intermediate pipeline for $34.2 million that runs 65 miles from the Navajo refinery’s crude oil distillation and vacuum facilities in Lovington, New Mexico to its petroleum refinery located in Artesia, New Mexico.

The Roadrunner and Beeson Pipelines, loading rack facilities and 16-inch intermediate pipeline discussed above were recorded at $95.1 million, representing Holly’s cost basis in the transferred assets. The $3.1 million purchase price in excess of Holly’s basis in the assets was recorded as a decrease to our partners’ equity.

SLC Pipeline Joint Venture Interest

On March 1, 2009, we acquired a 25% joint venture interest in the SLC Pipeline, a new 95-mile intrastate pipeline system that we jointly own with Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“Plains”). The total cost of our investment in the SLC Pipeline was $28 million, consisting of the capitalized $25.5 million joint venture contribution and the $2.5 million finder’s fee paid to Holly that was expensed as acquisition costs.

Note 4: Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt and an interest rate swap. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Our debt consists of outstanding principal under our revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), our 6.25% senior notes due 2015 (the “6.25% Senior Notes”) and our 8.25% senior notes due 2018 (the “8.25% Senior Notes”). The $155 million carrying amount of outstanding debt under our Credit Agreement at June 30, 2010, approximates fair value as interest rates are reset frequently using current rates. The estimated fair values of our 6.25% Senior Notes and 8.25% Senior Notes were $173.9 million and $148.5 million, respectively, at June 30, 2010. These fair value estimates are based on market quotes provided from a third-party bank. See Note 8 for additional information on these instruments.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are derived using inputs, assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) categorizes inputs used in fair value measurements into three broad levels as follows:

•

(Level 1) Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

(Level 2) Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or can be corroborated by observable market data.

•

(Level 3) Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes valuation techniques that involve significant unobservable inputs.

We have an interest rate swap that is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs that as of June 30, 2010 had a fair value of $11.1 million. With respect to this instrument, fair value is based on the net present value of expected future cash flows related to both variable and fixed rate legs of our interest rate swap agreement. Our measurement is computed using the forward London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) yield curve, a market-based observable input. See Note 8 for additional information on our interest rate swap.

We capitalized $0.2 million and $0.7 million in interest related to major construction projects during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Note 6: Transportation Agreements

Our transportation agreements consist of the following:

•

The Alon pipelines and terminals agreement (the “Alon PTA”) represents a portion of the total purchase price of the Alon assets that was allocated based on an estimated fair value derived under an income approach. This asset is being amortized over 30 years ending 2035, the 15-year initial term of the Alon PTA plus the expected 15-year extension period.

•

The Holly crude pipelines and tankage agreement (the “Holly CPTA”) represents a portion of the total purchase price of certain crude pipelines and tankage assets acquired from Holly in 2008 that was allocated using a fair value based on the agreement’s expected contribution to our future earnings under an income approach. This asset is being amortized over 15 years ending 2023, the 15-year term of the Holly CPTA.

The carrying amounts of our transportation agreements are as follows:

		June 30,				December 31,
		2010				2009
		(In thousands)
Alon transportation agreement		$	59,933			$	59,933
Holly crude pipelines and tankage agreement			74,231				74,231
			134,164				134,164
Less accumulated amortization			22,201				18,728
		$	111,963			$	115,436

We have additional transportation agreements with Holly that relate to pipeline, terminal and tankage assets contributed to us or acquired from Holly. These transfers occurred while under common control of Holly, therefore, our basis in these assets reflect Holly’s historical cost and does not reflect a step-up in basis to fair value. These agreements have a recorded value of zero.

In addition, we have an agreement to provide transportation and storage services to Holly via our Tulsa logistics and storage assets acquired from Sinclair. Since this agreement is with Holly and not between Sinclair and us, there is no cost attributable to this agreement.

Note 7: Employees, Retirement and Incentive 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 an omnibus agreement that we have with Holly. These employees participate in the retirement and benefit plans of Holly. Our share of retirement and benefit plan costs was $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and $1.3 million and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, 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.

As of June 30, 2010, we have two types of equity-based compensation, which are described below. The compensation cost charged against income for these plans was $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $1.3 million and $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. We currently purchase units in the open market instead of issuing new units for settlement of restricted unit grants. At June 30, 2010, 350,000 units were authorized to be granted under the equity-based compensation plans, of which 175,289 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 fair value of each restricted unit award is measured at the market price as of the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period.

A summary of restricted unit activity and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2010 is presented below:

										Weighted-
						Weighted-				Average				Aggregate
						Average				Remaining				Intrinsic
						Grant-Date				Contractual				Value
Restricted Units		Grants				Fair Value				Term				($000)
Outstanding at January 1, 2010 (nonvested)			53,271			$	34.31
Granted			31,355				42.59
Vesting and transfer of full ownership to recipients			(34,645	)			38.94
Forfeited			(1,226	)			34.28
Outstanding at June 30, 2010 (nonvested)			48,755			$	36.35			0.9 year				$	2,136

The fair value of restricted units that were vested and transferred to recipients during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 were $1.5 million and $0.9 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2010, there was $0.6 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 0.9 year.

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we paid $2.3 million for the purchase of 53,952 of our common units in the open market for the recipients of our restricted unit grants.

Performance Units

Under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, we grant performance units to selected executives who perform services for us. Performance units granted in 2010 are payable based upon the growth in our distributable cash flow per common unit over the performance period, and vest over a period of three years. Performance units granted in 2009 and 2008 are payable based upon the growth in distributions on our common units during the requisite period, and vest over a period of three years. As of June 30, 2010, estimated share payouts for outstanding nonvested performance unit awards ranged from 110% to 120%.

We granted 16,965 performance units to certain officers in March 2010. These units will vest over a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2012 and are payable in HEP common units. The number of units actually earned will be based on the growth of our distributable cash flow per common unit over the performance period, and can range from 50% to 150% of the number of performance units granted. The fair value of these performance units is based on the grant date closing unit price of $42.59 and will apply to the number of units ultimately awarded.

A summary of performance unit activity and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2010 is presented below:

		Payable
Performance Units		In Units
Outstanding at January 1, 2010 (nonvested)			54,771
Vesting and transfer of common units to recipients			(11,785	)
Granted			16,965
Forfeited			(536	)
Outstanding at June 30, 2010 (nonvested)			59,415

The fair value of performance units vested and transferred to recipients during the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009 was $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Based on the weighted average fair value at June 30, 2010 of $32.97, there was $1.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested performance units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

Note 8: Debt

Credit Agreement

We have a $300 million senior secured revolving Credit Agreement expiring in August 2011. The Credit Agreement is available to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions, and working capital and for general partnership purposes. In addition, the Credit Agreement is available to fund letters of credit up to a $50 million sub-limit and to fund distributions to unitholders up to a $20 million sub-limit. Advances under the Credit Agreement that are designated for working capital are classified as short-term liabilities. Other advances under the Credit Agreement, including advances used for the financing of capital projects, are classified as long-term liabilities. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, we received advances totaling $39 million and repaid $90 million, resulting in the net repayment of $51 million in advances. As of June 30, 2010, we had $155 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are collateralized 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. Any recourse to HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P. would be limited to the extent of its assets, which other than its investment in us, 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. As of June 30, 2010, we had no working capital borrowings.

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 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 Credit Agreement) to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, as defined in the Credit Agreement). At June 30, 2010, we were subject to an applicable margin of 1.75%. 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 June 30, 2010, we are subject to a .30% commitment fee on the $145 million unused portion of the Credit Agreement. The agreement expires in August 2011. At that time, the agreement will terminate and all outstanding amounts thereunder will become 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 Credit Agreement, the lenders will be able to accelerate the maturity of the debt and exercise other rights and remedies.

Additionally, the Credit Agreement contains certain provisions whereby the lenders may accelerate payment of outstanding debt under certain circumstances.

Senior Notes

In March 2010, we issued $150 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.25% Senior Notes maturing March 15, 2018. A portion of the $147.5 million in net proceeds received was used to fund our $93 million purchase of the Tulsa and Lovington storage assets from Holly on March 31, 2010. Additionally, we used a portion to repay $42 million in outstanding Credit Agreement borrowings, with the remaining proceeds available for general partnership purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures.

Our 6.25% Senior Notes having an aggregate principal amount of $185 million mature March 1, 2015 and are registered with the SEC. The 6.25% Senior Notes and 8.25% Senior Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) are unsecured and impose certain restrictive covenants, which we are subject to and currently in compliance with, 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 its assets, which other than its investment in us, are not significant.

Interest Rate Risk Management

We use interest rate swaps (derivative instruments) to manage our exposure to interest rate risk.

As of June 30, 2010, we have an interest rate swap that hedges our exposure to the cash flow risk caused by the effects of LIBOR changes on a $155 million Credit Agreement advance. This interest rate swap effectively converts $155 million of LIBOR based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate of 3.74% plus an applicable margin, currently 1.75%, which equals an effective interest rate of 5.49% as of June 30, 2010. The maturity date of this swap contract is February 28, 2013.

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 $155 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 the offsetting fair value adjustment 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 $155 million variable rate debt. Any ineffectiveness is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense. To date, we have had no ineffectiveness on our cash flow hedge.

In May 2010, we repaid $16 million of our Credit Agreement debt and also settled a corresponding portion of our interest rate swap agreement having a notional amount of $16 million for $1.1 million. Upon payment, we reduced our swap liability and reclassified a $1.1 million charge from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, representing the application of hedge accounting prior to settlement.

Additional information on our interest rate swap as of June 30, 2010 is as follows:

In the first quarter of 2010, we settled two interest rate swaps. We had an interest rate swap contract that effectively converted interest expense associated with $60 million of our 6.25% Senior Notes from fixed to variable rate debt (“Variable Rate Swap”). We had an additional interest rate swap contract that effectively unwound the effects of the Variable Rate Swap, converting $60 million of the previously hedged long-term debt back to fixed rate debt (“Fixed Rate Swap”), effectively fixing interest at a 4.75% rate. Upon settlement of the Variable Rate and Fixed Rate Swaps, we received $1.9 million and paid $3.6 million, respectively.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, we recognized a $1.5 million charge to interest expense as a result of fair value adjustments to our interest rate swaps. For the six months ended June 30, 2009, fair value adjustments resulted in a $0.6 million decrease to interest expense.

We have a deferred hedge premium that relates to the application of hedge accounting to the Variable Rate Swap prior to its hedge dedesignation in 2008. This deferred hedge premium having a balance of $1.6 million at June 30, 2010, is being amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the 6.25% Senior Notes.

Note 9: Significant Customers

All revenues are domestic revenues, of which ninety-six percent are currently generated from our two largest customers: Holly and Alon. The major concentration of our petroleum product and crude oil pipeline systems’ revenues is derived from activities conducted in the southwest United States.

The following table presents the percentage of total revenues from continuing operations generated by each of these customers:

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,

Note 10: Related Party Transactions

Holly and Alon Agreements

We serve Holly’s refineries in New Mexico, Utah and Oklahoma under the following long-term pipeline and terminal, tankage and throughput agreements:

•

Holly PTA (pipelines and terminals throughput agreement expiring in 2019 that relates to the pipelines and terminal assets contributed to us by Holly upon our initial public offering in 2004);

•

Holly IPA (intermediate pipelines throughput agreement expiring in 2024 that relates to the intermediate pipelines acquired from Holly in 2005 and 2009);

•

Holly CPTA (crude pipelines and tankage throughput agreement expiring in 2023 that relates to the crude pipelines and tankage assets acquired from Holly in 2008);

•

Holly PTTA (pipeline, tankage and loading rack throughput agreement expiring in 2024 that relates to the Tulsa east storage tank and loading rack facilities acquired from Sinclair in 2009 and from Holly in March 2010);

•

Holly RPA (pipeline throughput agreement expiring in 2024 that relates to the Roadrunner Pipeline acquired from Holly in 2009);

•

Holly ETA (equipment and throughput agreement expiring in 2024 that relates to the Tulsa west loading rack facilities acquired from Holly in 2009); and

•

Holly ATA (loading rack throughput agreement expiring in 2025 that relates to the Lovington asphalt loading rack facility acquired from Holly in March 2010).

Under these agreements, Holly agreed to transport, store and throughput volumes of refined product and crude oil on our pipelines and terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities that result in minimum annual payments to us. These minimum annual payments or revenues will be adjusted each year at a percentage change based upon the change in the Producer Price Index (“PPI”) but will not decrease as a result of a decrease in the PPI. Under these agreements, the agreed upon tariff rates are adjusted each year on July 1 at a rate based upon the percentage change in the PPI or the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) index, but with the exception of the Holly IPA, generally will not decrease as a result of a decrease in the PPI or FERC index. The FERC index is the change in the PPI plus a FERC adjustment factor that is reviewed periodically. Following the July 1, 2010 PPI adjustment, these agreements with Holly will result in minimum annualized payments to us of $132.4 million.

We also have a pipelines and terminals agreement with Alon expiring in 2020 under which Alon has agreed to transport on our pipelines and throughput through our terminals volumes of refined products that result in a minimum level of annual revenue. The agreed upon tariff rates 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, 2010 PPI adjustment, Alon’s minimum annualized commitment to us is $22.7 million.

If Holly or Alon fails 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. A shortfall payment under the Holly PTA, Holly IPA and Alon PTA may be applied as a credit in the following four quarters after minimum obligations are met.

We entered into an omnibus agreement with Holly in 2004 that Holly and we have amended and restated several times in connection with our past acquisitions from Holly with the last amendment and restatement occurring on March 31, 2010 (the “Omnibus Agreement”). Under certain provisions of the Omnibus Agreement, we pay Holly an annual administrative fee, currently $2.3 million, for the provision by Holly or its affiliates of various general and administrative services to us. 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. Also, we reimburse Holly and its affiliates for direct expenses they incur on our behalf.

•

Revenues for the three and the six months ended June 30, 2010 include $0.5 million and $2.3 million of shortfalls billed under the Holly IPA in 2009 as Holly did not exceed its minimum volume commitment in any of the subsequent four quarters. Deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, includes $3.2 million and $3.6 million, respectively, relating to the Holly IPA.

Note 11: Partners’ Equity

Holly currently holds 7,290,000 of our common units and the 2% general partner interest, which together constitutes a 34% ownership interest in us.

Issuances of units

We issued 1,373,609 of our common units having a value of $53.5 million to Sinclair as partial consideration of our total $79.2 million purchase of Sinclair’s Tulsa logistics assets in December 2009.

We issued in a public offering 2,185,000 of our common units priced at $35.78 per unit in November 2009. Aggregate net proceeds of $74.9 million were used to fund the cash portion of our December 2009 asset acquisitions, to repay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement and for general partnership purposes.

Additionally, we issued in a public offering 2,192,400 of our common units priced at $27.80 per unit in May 2009. Net proceeds of $58.4 million were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement and for general partnership purposes.

We received aggregate capital contributions of $3.8 million from our general partner to maintain its 2% general partner interest concurrent with the 2009 common unit issuances described above.

Under our registration statement filed with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process, we currently have the ability to raise $860 million through security offerings, 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 attributable to Holly Energy Partners, L.P. is allocated between limited partners and the general partner interest in accordance with the provisions of the partnership agreement. HEP net income allocated to the general partner includes incentive distributions that are declared subsequent to quarter end. After the amount of incentive distributions is allocated to the general partner, the remaining net income attributable to HEP is generally allocated to the partners based on their weighted-average ownership percentage during the period.

The following table presents the allocation of the general partner interest in net income:

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2010				2009				2010				2009
		(In thousands, except per unit data)
General partner interest in net income		$	220			$	304			$	388			$	392
General partner incentive distribution			2,689				1,545				5,167				2,750
Total general partner interest in net income attributable to HEP		$	2,909			$	1,849			$	5,555			$	3,142

Cash Distributions

Our 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.

On July 23, 2010, we announced our cash distribution for the first quarter of 2010 of $0.825 per unit. The distribution is payable on all common, subordinated, and general partner units and will be paid August 13, 2010 to all unitholders of record on August 3, 2010.

The following table presents the allocation of our regular quarterly cash distributions to the general and limited partners for the periods in which they apply. Our distributions are declared subsequent to quarter end; therefore, the amounts presented do not reflect distributions paid during the periods presented below.

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2010				2009				2010				2009
		(In thousands, except per unit data)
General partner interest		$	427			$	328			$	844			$	611
General partner incentive distribution			2,689				1,545				5,167				2,750
Total general partner distribution			3,116				1,873				6,011				3,361
Limited partner distribution			18,215				14,552				36,209				27,214
Total regular quarterly cash distribution		$	21,331			$	16,425			$	42,220			$	30,575
Cash distribution per unit applicable to limited partners		$	0.825			$	0.785			$	1.640			$	1.560

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 our equity since our regular quarterly distributions have exceeded our quarterly net income. Additionally, if the assets transferred to us upon our initial public offering in 2004, the intermediate pipelines purchased from Holly in 2005 and the assets purchased from Holly in 2009 and March 2010 had been acquired from third parties, our acquisition cost in excess of Holly’s basis in the transferred assets of $214.4 million would have been recorded in our financial statements as increases to our properties and equipment and intangible assets instead of decreases to partners’ equity.

Comprehensive Income

We have other comprehensive income (losses) resulting from fair value adjustments to our cash flow hedge. Our comprehensive income is as follows:

Note 12: Supplemental Guarantor/Non-Guarantor Financial Information

Obligations of Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“Parent”) under the 6.25% Senior Notes and 8.25% 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.

We sold our 70% interest in Rio Grande on December 1, 2009; therefore, Rio Grande is no longer a subsidiary of HEP. Rio Grande (“Non-Guarantor”) was the only subsidiary that did not guarantee these obligations. Amounts attributable to Rio Grande prior to our sale are presented in discontinued operations.

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.
