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,” “should,” “would,” “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. All statements concerning our expectations for future results of operations are based on forecasts for our existing operations and do not include the potential impact of any future acquisitions. Our forward-looking 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, stored or throughput in our terminals;


•	the economic viability of HollyFrontier Corporation, Alon USA, Inc. and our other customers;


•	the demand for refined petroleum products in markets we serve;


•	our ability to purchase and integrate additional operations in the future successfully;


•	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, operational 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 known material risk factors and other cautionary statements set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 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 which is 39% owned (including the 2% general partner interest) by HollyFrontier Corporation (“HFC”) and its subsidiaries. In these consolidated financial statements, the words “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer to HEP unless the context otherwise indicates.

We own and operate petroleum product and crude oil pipelines and terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities that support HFC’s refining and marketing operations in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States and Alon USA, Inc.’s (“Alon”) refinery in Big Spring, Texas. Additionally, we own a 75% interest in UNEV Pipeline, LLC (“UNEV”), which owns a 400-mile, 12-inch refined products pipeline running from Woods Cross, Utah to Las Vegas, Nevada (the “UNEV Pipeline”), product terminals near Cedar City, Utah and Las Vegas, Nevada and related assets, and a 25% interest in SLC Pipeline LLC, which owns a 95-mile intrastate crude oil pipeline system (the “SLC Pipeline”) that serves refineries in the Salt Lake City, Utah area.

We generate revenues by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil through our pipelines, by charging fees for terminalling and storing refined products and other hydrocarbons 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) 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, 2012. 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, 2013.

On January 16, 2013, a two-for-one unit split was paid in the form of a common unit distribution for each issued and outstanding common unit to all unitholders of record on January 7, 2013. All references to unit and per unit amounts in this document and related disclosures have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the unit split.

In March 2013, we closed on a public offering of 1,875,000 of our common units. Additionally, an affiliate of HFC, as a selling unitholder, closed on a public sale of 1,875,000 of its HEP common units. We used our net proceeds of $73.4 million to repay indebtedness incurred under our credit facility and for general partnership purposes. Amounts repaid under our credit facility may be reborrowed from time to time, and we intend to reborrow certain amounts to fund capital expenditures.

The financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 included in the accompanying financial statements and notes thereto were revised from the amounts previously reported for those periods due to accounting rules that require retrospective restatement of previously reported results in cases of business combinations between entities under common control. We have therefore included herein the results of UNEV prior to our acquisition on July 12, 2012 referred to as results attributable to the Predecessor. See Note 2 below for additional information on the UNEV acquisition. Additional revisions were made in order to correct certain immaterial items in previously reported amounts. These revisions reduced net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners for the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 by $1.2 million and $1.4 million, respectively, and reduced the limited partners' per unit interest in net earnings - basic and diluted by $0.02 and $0.03, respectively, and were comprised principally of an adjustment of depreciation expense related to certain property and equipment. For more information about these revisions, see the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

Effective January 1, 2013 we adopted the accounting standard update that requires the disclosure of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have an impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 2.	Acquisitions

UNEV Pipeline Interest Acquisition

On July 12, 2012, we acquired HFC's 75% interest in UNEV. We paid consideration consisting of $260.0 million in cash and 2,059,800 of our common units. We paid an additional $0.9 million to HFC for a post-closing working capital adjustment. Also under the terms of the transaction, we issued to HFC a Class B unit comprising a noncontrolling equity interest in a wholly-owned subsidiary subject to redemption to the extent that HFC is entitled to a 50% interest in our share of annual UNEV earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization above $30 million beginning July 1, 2016 and ending in June 2032, subject to certain limitations. Such contingent redemption payments are limited to a maximum payment amount calculated as described below. However, to the extent earnings thresholds are not achieved, no redemption payments are required. Contemporaneously with this transaction, HFC (our general partner) agreed to forego its right to incentive distributions of up to $1.25 million per quarter over twelve consecutive quarterly periods following the closing of the transaction and up to an additional four quarters in certain circumstances. The Class B unit increases with each foregone incentive distribution as described above and by a 7% factor compounded annually on the outstanding unredeemed balance through its expiration date. At our option, we may redeem, in whole or in part, the Class B unit at the current unredeemed value based on the calculation described. The Class B unit had a value of $13.9 million at December 31, 2012 and $17.0 million at June 30, 2013.

Noncontrolling interests reported in the consolidated statements of income include the minority partner's 25% interest in UNEV and income attributable to the Class B unit representing foregone incentive distribution rights and the 7% accretion factor, which collectively amounted to $1.1 million and $4.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

We are a consolidated variable interest entity of HFC. Therefore, this transaction was recorded as a transfer between entities under common control and reflects HFC's carrying basis in UNEV's assets and liabilities. We have retrospectively adjusted our financial position and operating results as if UNEV were a consolidated subsidiary for all periods while we were under common control of HFC. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012 our consolidated statement of income includes Predecessor revenues from UNEV of $3.9 million and $7.8 million, respectively, and Predecessor net losses of $2.2 million and $4.1 million, respectively.


Note 3:	Financial Instruments

Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt and interest rate swaps. 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. Debt consists of outstanding principal under our revolving credit agreement (which approximates fair value as interest rates are reset frequently at current interest rates) and our fixed interest rate senior notes.

Fair value measurements are derived using inputs (assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability) including assumptions about risk. 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.

Level 2 Financial Instruments

Our senior notes and interest rate swaps are measured at fair value using Level 2 inputs. The fair value of the senior notes is based on market values provided by a third-party bank, which were derived using market quotes for similar type debt instruments. The fair value of our interest rate swaps is based on the net present value of expected future cash flows related to both variable and fixed rate legs of the swap agreement. This measurement is computed using the forward London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) yield curve, a market-based observable input.

See Note 7 for additional information on these instruments.

Note 5:	Transportation Agreements

Our transportation agreements represent a portion of the total purchase price of certain assets acquired from Alon in 2005 and from HFC in 2008. The Alon agreement is being amortized over 30 years ending 2035 (the initial 15-year term of the agreement plus an expected 15-year extension period) and the HFC agreement is being amortized over 15 years ending 2023 (the term of the HFC agreement).

The carrying amounts of our transportation agreements are as follows:



	June 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
	(In thousands)
Alon transportation agreement	$	59,933	$	59,933

	134,164		134,164
Less accumulated amortization	43,041		39,568
	$	91,123	$	94,596

We have additional transportation agreements with HFC that relate to assets contributed to us or acquired from HFC consisting of pipeline, terminal and tankage assets. These transactions occurred while we were a consolidated variable interest entity of HFC, therefore, our basis in these agreements is zero and does not reflect a step-up in basis to fair value.


Note 6:	Employees, Retirement and Incentive Plans

Employees who provide direct services to us are employed by Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C., an HFC 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 HFC. These employees participate in the retirement and benefit plans of HFC. Our share of retirement and benefit plan costs was $1.9 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $3.8 million and $3.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

We have an incentive plan (“Long-Term Incentive Plan”) for employees 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. Our accounting policy for the recognition of compensation expense for awards with pro-rata vesting (a significant proportion of our awards) is to expense the costs ratably over the vesting periods.

As of June 30, 2013, we have two types of incentive-based awards which are described below. The compensation cost charged against income was $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1.9 million and $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We currently purchase units in the open market instead of issuing new units for settlement of all unit awards under our Long-Term Incentive Plan. As of June 30, 2013, 2,500,000 units were authorized to be granted under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, of which 1,732,433 have not yet been granted, assuming no forfeitures of the unvested units and full achievement of goals for the performance units already granted.

Restricted Units

Under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, we grant restricted units to selected employees and non-employee directors who perform services for us, with most awards vesting over a period of one to three 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, 2013 is presented below:



Restricted Units	Units	Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Outstanding at January 1, 2013 (nonvested)	58,472	$	31.21
Granted	37,815	41.18
Vesting and transfer of full ownership to recipients	—	—
Outstanding at June 30, 2013 (nonvested)	96,287	$	35.08

As of June 30, 2013, there was $1.6 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested restricted unit grants which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years.

Performance Units

Under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, we grant performance units to selected executives who perform services for us. Performance units granted 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. As of June 30, 2013, estimated unit payouts for outstanding nonvested performance unit awards were at 100% to 125%.

We granted 32,888 target performance units to certain officers in March 2013. These units will vest over a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2015 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 0% to 200% of the target number of performance units granted (in the case of our Chief Executive Officer) or from 50% to 150% of the target number of performance units granted (in the case of other officers granted performance units). Although common units are not transferred to the recipients until the performance units vest, the recipients have distribution rights with respect to the common units from the date of grant. The fair value of these performance units is based on the grant date closing unit price of $40.86 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, 2013 is presented below:



Performance Units	Units
Outstanding at January 1, 2013 (nonvested)	54,498
Granted	32,888
Vesting and transfer of common units to recipients	(25,124	)
Outstanding at June 30, 2013 (nonvested)	62,262

The grant-date fair value of performance units vested and transferred to recipients during the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $0.5 million. As of June 30, 2013, there was $1.4 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested performance units, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.


Note 7:	Debt

Credit Agreement

We have a $550 million senior secured revolving credit facility expiring in June 2017 (the “Credit Agreement”) that is available to fund capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, distribution payments and working capital and for general partnership purposes. It is available also to fund letters of credit up to a $50 million sub-limit and to fund distributions to unitholders up to a $60 million sub-limit.

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. (“HEP Logistics”), our general partner, and guaranteed by our material wholly-owned subsidiaries. Any recourse to HEP Logistics 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.

The Credit Agreement imposes certain requirements on us which we are currently in compliance with, 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 into a merger or consolidation, or sell assets; and covenants that require maintenance of a specified EBITDA to interest expense ratio, total debt to EBITDA ratio and senior 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.

Senior Notes

In March 2012, we issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of 6.5% senior notes maturing March 1, 2020 (the “6.5% Senior Notes”). Net proceeds of $294.8 million were used in March and April 2012 to redeem $185.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 6.25% senior notes maturing March 1, 2015 (the “6.25% Senior Notes”) tendered pursuant to a cash tender offer and consent solicitation, to repay HFC $72.9 million in promissory notes related to our November 2011 acquisition of assets located at HFC's El Dorado and Cheyenne refineries, to pay related fees, expenses and accrued interest in connection with these transactions and to repay borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

Also, we have $150 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of 8.25% senior notes maturing March 15, 2018 (the “8.25% Senior Notes”).

The 6.5% Senior Notes and 8.25% Senior Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) are unsecured and impose certain restrictive covenants, which we are 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, our general partner, and guaranteed by our wholly-owned subsidiaries. However, any recourse to HEP Logistics 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, 2013, we have three interest rate swaps that hedge our exposure to the cash flow risk caused by the effects of LIBOR changes on $305.0 million of Credit Agreement advances. Our first interest rate swap entered into in December 2011, effectively converts $155.0 million of our LIBOR-based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate of 0.99% plus an applicable margin of 2.50% as of June 30, 2013, which equaled an effective interest rate of 3.49%. This swap contract matures in February 2016. In August 2012, we entered into two similar interest rate swaps with identical terms which effectively convert $150.0 million of our LIBOR-based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate of 0.74% plus an applicable margin of 2.50% as of June 30, 2013, which equaled an effective interest rate of 3.24%. Both of these swap contracts mature in July 2017.

We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges. Based on our assessment of effectiveness using the change in variable cash flows method, we have determined that these interest rate swaps are effective in offsetting the variability in interest payments on $305.0 million of our variable-rate debt resulting from changes in LIBOR. Under hedge accounting, we adjust our cash flow hedges on a quarterly basis to their fair values with the offsetting fair value adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). 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 swaps against the expected future interest payments on $305.0 million of our variable rate debt. Any ineffectiveness is recorded directly to interest expense. As of June 30, 2013, we had no ineffectiveness on our cash flow hedges.

At June 30, 2013, we have accumulated other comprehensive income of $0.5 million that relates to our current cash flow hedging instruments. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, $0.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of other comprehensive loss was reclassified to interest expense due to cash flow hedge settlements. Approximately $0.1 million will be transferred from accumulated other comprehensive loss into interest expense as interest is paid on the underlying swap agreement over the next twelve-month period, assuming interest rates remain unchanged.

Note 8:	Significant Customers

All revenues are domestic revenues, of which 95% are generated currently from our two largest customers: HFC and Alon. The vast majority of our revenues are derived from activities conducted in the southwest United States.

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



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

HFC	84	%	84	%	83	%	83	%
Alon	11	%	11	%	10	%	11	%


Note 9:	Related Party Transactions

We serve HFC's refineries under long-term pipeline and terminal, tankage and throughput agreements expiring from 2019 to 2026. Under these agreements, HFC 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 are subject to annual tariff rate adjustments on July 1, based on the Producer Price Index (“PPI”) or Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) index. Additionally such agreements require HFC to reimburse us for certain costs. Following the July 1, 2013 PPI adjustment HFC's minimum annualized payments to us under these agreements increased by $4.7 million to$225.5 million.

If HFC fails to meet its 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. Under certain of these agreements, a shortfall payment may be applied as a credit in the following four quarters after its minimum obligations are met.

Under certain provisions of an omnibus agreement we have with HFC (the “Omnibus Agreement”) we pay HFC an annual administrative fee for the provision by HFC or its affiliates of various general and administrative services to us, currently $2.3 million. This fee does not include the salaries of personnel employed by HLS who perform services for us or the cost of their employee benefits, which are charged to us separately by HFC. Also, we reimburse HFC and its affiliates for direct expenses they incur on our behalf.

Related party transactions with HFC are as follows:


•	Revenues received from HFC were $63.2 million and $57.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $124.7 million and $114.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.


•	HFC charged us general and administrative services under the Omnibus Agreement of $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.


•	We reimbursed HFC for costs of employees supporting our operations of $9.4 million and $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $19.2 million and $14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.


•	HFC reimbursed us $4.3 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $9.2 million and $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, for certain reimbursable costs and capital projects.


•	We distributed $17.4 million and $15.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, to HFC as regular distributions on its common units and general partner interest, including general partner incentive distributions. For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 we distributed $34.8 million and $31.0 million, respectively.


•	Accounts receivable from HFC were $31.6 million and $31.6 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.


•	Accounts payable to HFC were $4.4 million and $5.0 million at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

•

Revenues for the three and the six months ended June 30, 2013 include $0.7 million and $4.7 million, respectively, of shortfall payments billed in 2012, as HFC did not exceed its minimum volume commitment in any of the subsequent four quarters. Deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, includes $5.0 million and $5.1 million, respectively, relating to certain shortfall billings. It is possible that HFC may not exceed its minimum obligations to receive credit for any of the $5.0 million deferred at June 30, 2013.


•	We acquired from HFC 75% interest in the UNEV Pipeline in July 2012. See Note 2 for a description of this transaction.


Note 10:	Partners’ Equity

As of June 30, 2013, HFC held 22,380,030 of our common units and the 2% general partner interest, which together constituted a 39% ownership interest in us.

Allocations of Net Income

Net income attributable to HEP 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 allocated to the partners based on their weighted-average ownership percentage during the period.

Cash Distributions

Our general partner, HEP Logistics, is entitled to incentive distributions if the amount we distribute with respect to any quarter exceeds specified target levels.

On July 26, 2013 we announced our cash distribution for the second quarter of 2013 of $0.4850 per unit. The distribution is payable on all common and general partner units and will be paid August 14, 2013 to all unitholders of record on August 5, 2013.

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 June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Cash distribution per unit applicable to limited partners	$	0.485	$	0.455	$	0.963	$	0.903

As a master limited partnership, we distribute our available cash, which historically has exceeded our net income attributable to HEP because depreciation and amortization expense represents a non-cash charge against income. The result is a decline in our partners’ equity since our regular quarterly distributions have exceeded our quarterly net income attributable to HEP. Additionally, if the asset contributions and acquisitions from HFC had occurred while we were not a consolidated variable interest entity of HFC, our acquisition cost, in excess of HFC’s historical basis in the transferred assets of $305.3 million would have been recorded in our financial statements, as increases to our properties and equipment and intangible assets instead of decreases to our partners’ equity.


Note 11:	Supplemental Guarantor/Non-Guarantor Financial Information

Obligations of HEP (“Parent”) under the 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, subject to certain customary release provisions. These circumstances include (i) when a Guarantor Subsidiary is sold or sells all or substantially all of its assets, (ii) when a Guarantor Subsidiary is declared “unrestricted” for covenant purposes, (iii) when a Guarantor Subsidiary's guarantee of other indebtedness is terminated or released and (iv) when the requirements for legal defeasance or covenant defeasance or to discharge the Senior Notes have been satisfied.

The following financial information presents condensed consolidating balance sheets, statements of comprehensive income, and statements of cash flows of the Parent, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries.

Item 2.	Management’s 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 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In this document, the words “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer to Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”) and its consolidated subsidiaries or to HEP or an individual subsidiary and not to any other person.

OVERVIEW

HEP is a Delaware limited partnership. We own and operate petroleum product and crude pipelines and terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities that support the refining and marketing operations of HollyFrontier Corporation (“HFC”) in the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States and Alon USA, Inc’s (“Alon”) refinery in Big Spring, Texas. HFC owns a 39% interest in us including the 2% general partnership interest. Additionally, we own a 75% interest in UNEV Pipeline, LLC (“UNEV”), which owns a 400-mile, 12-inch refined products pipeline running from Woods Cross, Utah to Las Vegas, Nevada (the “UNEV Pipeline”), product terminals near Cedar City, Utah and Las Vegas, Nevada and related assets, and a 25% interest in SLC Pipeline LLC, which owns 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 and storing refined products and other hydrocarbons 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.

We believe the continuing growth of crude production in the Permian Basin and throughout the Mid-Continent and favorable refining economics should support strong throughput to the refineries we serve, which in turn will support volumes in our product pipelines, crude gathering system and terminals.

UNEV Pipeline Interest Acquisition

We acquired HFC's 75% interest in UNEV on July 12, 2012. We paid consideration consisting of $260.9 million in cash and 2,059,800 of our common units. Also, under the terms of the transaction, we issued to HFC a Class B unit comprising an equity interest in a wholly-owned subsidiary that entitles HFC to an interest in our share of annual UNEV earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization above $30 million beginning July 1, 2016 and ending in June 2032, subject to certain limitations. Contemporaneously with this transaction, HFC (our general partner) agreed to forego its right to incentive distributions of up to $1.25 million per quarter over twelve consecutive quarterly periods following the closing of the transaction and up to an additional four quarters in certain circumstances.

Agreements with HFC and Alon

We serve HFC’s refineries under long-term pipeline and terminal, tankage and throughput agreements expiring from 2019 to 2026. Under these agreements, HFC 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 are subject to annual tariff rate adjustments on July 1, based on the Producer Price Index (“PPI”) or Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) index. Following the July 1, 2013 PPI adjustment HFC's minimum annualized payments to us under these agreements increased by $4.7 million to $225.5 million.

If HFC fails to meet its 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. Under certain of the agreements, a shortfall payment may be applied as a credit in the following four quarters after minimum obligations are met.

- 26 -

Table of Contentsril 19,

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 that also is subject to annual tariff rate adjustments. The terms under this agreement expire beginning in 2018 through 2022. We also have a capacity lease agreement under which we lease Alon space on our Orla to El Paso pipeline for the shipment of refined product. As of June 30, 2013, these agreements with Alon will result in minimum annualized payments to us of $31.7 million.

A significant reduction in revenues under these agreements could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Under certain provisions of the Omnibus Agreement (“Omnibus Agreement”) that we have with HFC, we pay HFC an annual administrative fee, currently $2.3 million, for the provision by HFC or its affiliates of various general and administrative services to us. This fee does not include the salaries of personnel employed by HLS who perform services for us or the cost of their employee benefits, which are separately charged to us by HFC. We also reimburse HFC and its affiliates for direct expenses they incur on our behalf.

EBITDA is calculated as net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) state income tax and (iii) depreciation and amortization (excluding amounts related to Predecessor operations). EBITDA is not a calculation based upon U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). However, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is presented here because it is a widely used financial indicator used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA also is used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for compliance with financial covenants. Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA.

Distributable cash flow is not a calculation based upon GAAP. However, the amounts included in the calculation are derived from amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements, with the general exceptions of a billed crude revenue settlement and maintenance capital expenditures. Distributable cash flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. Distributable cash flow is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Distributable cash flow is presented here because it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare partnership performance. Also it is used by management for internal analysis and for our performance units. We believe that this measure provides investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash our business is generating. Set forth below is our calculation of distributable cash flow.

As a master limited partnership, we distribute our available cash, which historically has 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. Additionally, if the assets contributed and acquired from HFC while under common control of HFC had been acquired from third parties, our acquisition cost in excess of HFC’s basis in the transferred assets of $305.3 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.

Results of Operations—Three Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared with Three Months Ended June 30, 2012

Summary

Net income for the second quarter was $21.3 million compared to $19.1 million for the second quarter of 2012. The increase in net income is due principally to increased pipeline shipments and annual tariff increases, partially offset by increased operating costs and expenses. Net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners for the second quarter was $20.2 million compared to $22.0 million for the second quarter of 2012. The decrease in net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners is due principally to allocations of income to noncontrolling interests.

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2013 include the recognition of $0.7 million of prior shortfalls billed to shippers in 2012. Deficiency payments of $2.8 million associated with certain guaranteed shipping contracts were deferred during the three months ended June 30, 2013. Such deferred revenue will be recognized in earnings either as payment for shipments in excess

of guaranteed levels, if and to the extent the pipeline system will not have the necessary capacity for shipments in excess of guaranteed levels, or when shipping rights expire unused.

Revenues

Total revenues for the quarter were $75.3 million, a $6.6 million increase compared to the second quarter of 2012. The revenue increase was due to increased pipeline shipments and the effect of annual tariff increases. Overall pipeline volumes were up 11% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $26.8 million, an increase of $2.4 million primarily due to increased refined product shipments and the effect of annual tariff increases. Shipments averaged 186.6 thousand barrels per day (“mbpd”) compared to 158.2 mbpd for the second quarter of 2012.

Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $7.3 million, an increase of $0.6 million, on shipments averaging 142.4 mbpd compared to 137.1 mbpd for the second quarter of 2012.

Revenues from our crude pipelines were $12.2 million, an increase of $1.2 million, on shipments averaging 184.3 mbpd compared to 168.0 mbpd for the second quarter of 2012.

Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $29.0 million, an increase of $2.5 million compared to the second quarter of 2012. Refined products terminalled in our facilities averaged 333.9 mbpd compared to 316.8 mbpd for the second quarter of 2012.

Operations Expense

Operations expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased by $2.6 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. This increase is due to higher maintenance costs, environmental accruals and employee costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased by $1.0 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 due to asset abandonment charges related to tankage.

General and Administrative

General and administrative costs for the three months ended June 30, 2013 increased by $0.6 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012 due to increased employee costs and professional fees.

Equity in Earnings of SLC Pipeline

Our equity in earnings of the SLC Pipeline was $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $11.6 million, an increase of $0.3 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2012. Our aggregate effective interest rates were 5.8% and 7.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

We recognized a charge of $0.4 million upon the early extinguishment of our 6.25% senior notes for the three months ended June 30, 2012.

State Income Tax

We recorded state income tax expense of $344,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 which is solely attributable to the Texas margin tax. We are subject to the Texas margin tax that is based on our Texas sourced taxable margin. Due to a statutory change that was enacted in June 2013, we are now able to deduct cost of goods sold which will result in lower cash taxes to HEP in the current and future years. The change also resulted in a one-time charge of $336,000 to establish a deferred tax liability. For the three months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded state income tax expense of $75,000.

Results of Operations—Six Months Ended June 30, 2013 Compared with Six Months Ended June 30, 2012

Summary

Net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $38.6 million, a $5.2 million decrease compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. This decrease in earnings is due principally to increased costs and expenses and income allocations to noncontrolling interests, partially offset by revenue increases. Revenue increased for the six months ended June 30, 2013 due to overall increased pipeline shipments, annual tariff increases and deferred revenue recognition. Additionally, major maintenance turnarounds at both HFC's Navajo refinery and Alon's Big Spring refinery had a significant impact on pipeline and terminal volumes during the first quarter of 2013, contributing to the lower 2013 six months earnings.

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 include the recognition of $7.3 million of prior shortfalls billed to shippers in 2012. Deficiency payments of $7.3 million associated with certain guaranteed shipping contracts were deferred during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Such deferred revenue will be recognized in earnings either as payment for shipments in excess of guaranteed levels, if and to the extent the pipeline system will not have the necessary capacity for shipments in excess of guaranteed levels, or when shipping rights expire unused.

Revenues

Total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2013 were $149.6 million, a $12.5 million increase compared to the first six months ended June 30, 2012. This is due principally to a $4.8 million increase in deferred revenue realized, increased pipeline shipments in the second quarter and the effect of annual tariff increases.

Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $53.9 million, an increase of $5.2 million primarily due to the effects of a $5.6 million increase in deferred revenue realized. Shipments averaged 167.0 thousand barrels per day (“mbpd”) compared to 159.8 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $13.5 million, a decrease of $0.3 million, on shipments averaging 131.7 mbpd compared to 130.3 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2012. The decrease in revenue is due to the effects of a $0.7 million decrease in deferred revenue realized.

Revenues from our crude pipelines were $23.8 million, an increase of $2.2 million, on shipments averaging 165.2 mbpd compared to 160.9 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Revenues from terminal, tankage and loading rack fees were $58.5 million, an increase of $5.4 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase is due principally to increased tankage revenues. Refined products terminalled in our facilities averaged 324.8 mbpd compared to 315.7 mbpd for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Operations Expense

Operations expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased by $8.0 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase is due to higher maintenance costs, environmental accruals and employee costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased by $0.8 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 due to asset abandonment charges related to tankage.

General and Administrative

General and administrative costs for the six months ended June 30, 2013 increased by $1.8 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012 due to increased employee costs and professional fees.

Equity in Earnings of SLC Pipeline

Our equity in earnings of the SLC Pipeline was $1.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Interest Expense

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 totaled $24.1 million, an increase of $2.4 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2012. This increase reflects interest on a year-over-year increase in debt levels. Our aggregate effective interest rates were 5.8% and 7.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

We recognized a charge of $3.0 million upon the early extinguishment of our 6.25% senior notes for the six months ended June 30, 2012.

Gain on Sale of Assets

Gain on sale of assets for the six months ended June 30, 2013 of $2.0 million is a gain on the sale of property in El Paso, Texas.

State Income Tax

We recorded state income tax expense of $400,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 which is solely attributable to the Texas margin tax. We are subject to the Texas margin tax that is based on our Texas sourced taxable margin. Due to a statutory change that was enacted in June 2013, we are now able to deduct cost of goods sold which will result in lower cash taxes to HEP in the current and future years. The change also resulted in a one-time charge of $336,000 to establish a deferred tax liability. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, we recorded state income tax expense of $150,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Overview

We have a $550 million senior secured revolving credit facility expiring in June 2017 (the “Credit Agreement”) that is available to fund capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, distribution payments and working capital and for general partnership purposes. It also is available to fund letters of credit up to a $50 million sub-limit and to fund distributions to unitholders up to a $60 million sub-limit.

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we received advances totaling $154.5 million and repaid $220.5 million under the Credit Agreement, resulting in net repayments of $66.0 million and an outstanding balance of $355.0 million at June 30, 2013.

Under our registration statement filed with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process, we currently have the ability to raise up to $2.0 billion by offering 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.

We believe our current cash balances, future internally generated funds and funds available under the Credit Agreement will provide sufficient resources to meet our working capital liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.

In May 2013, we paid regular quarterly cash distributions of $0.4775, on all units in an aggregate amount of $67.4 million. Included in these distributions were $6.0 million of incentive distribution payments to the general partner.

Contemporaneously with our UNEV Pipeline interest acquisition on July 12, 2012, HFC (our general partner) agreed to forego its right to incentive distributions of $1.25 million per quarter over twelve consecutive quarterly periods following the close of the transaction and up to an additional four quarters in certain circumstances.

Cash and cash equivalents increased by $3.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. The cash flows provided by operating activities of $82.2 million was greater than the cash flows used for financing and investing activities of $64.0 million and $14.7 million, respectively. Working capital decreased by $1.0 million to $10.8 million at June 30, 2013 from $11.8 million at December 31, 2012.

Cash Flows—Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities increased by $12.4 million from $69.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $82.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. This increase is due principally to $16.7 million in additional cash collections from our customers partially offset by payments attributable to increased operating expenses.

Table of Contentsril 19,

Our major shippers are obligated to make deficiency payments to us if they do not meet their minimum volume shipping obligations. Under certain agreements with these shippers, they have the right to recapture these amounts if future volumes exceed minimum levels. We billed $7.3 million during 2012 related to shortfalls that subsequently expired without recapture and were recognized as revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Another $7.4 million is included in our accounts receivable at June 30, 2013 related to shortfalls that occurred during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Cash Flows—Investing Activities

Cash flows used for investing activities decreased by $11.6 million from $26.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012 to $14.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. During the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we invested $17.2 million and $26.4 million in additions to properties and equipment, respectively. The decrease is attributable to capital costs incurred in early 2012 in completion of the UNEV Pipeline. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we received $2.5 million proceeds from the sale of assets.

Cash Flows—Financing Activities

Cash flows used for financing activities were $64.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to $45.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2012, an increase of $18.4 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we received $154.5 million and repaid $220.5 million in advances under the Credit Agreement, received net proceeds of $73.4 million from the common unit public offering and $1.5 million from the general partner to maintain its 2% interest. Additionally, we paid $67.4 million in regular quarterly cash distributions to our general and limited partners, and paid $3.3 million for the purchase of common units for recipients of our incentive grants. Also we paid $2.0 million to the UNEV noncontrolling interest joint venture partner. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, we received $99.0 million and repaid $129.0 million in advances under the Credit Agreement, received net proceeds of $294.8 million from the issuance of our 6.5% senior notes and repaid $257.9 million of our notes. Additionally, we paid $60.0 million in regular quarterly cash distributions to our general and limited partners, we received $15.0 million from UNEV's joint venture partners, paid $3.2 million in financing costs to amend our Credit Agreement and paid $4.5 million for the purchase of common units for recipients of our incentive grants.

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 operational regulations. Our capital requirements have consisted of, and are expected to continue to consist 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, 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 charged to operating expenses as incurred.

Each year the HLS board of directors approves our annual capital budget, which specifies capital projects that our management is authorized to undertake. Additionally, at times when conditions warrant or as new opportunities arise, additional projects may be approved. The funds allocated for a particular capital project may be expended over a period in excess of a year, depending on the time required to complete the project. Therefore, our planned capital expenditures for a given year consist of expenditures approved for capital projects included in the current year's capital budget as well as, in certain cases, expenditures approved for capital projects in capital budgets for prior years. The 2013 regular capital budget is comprised of $10.1 million for maintenance capital expenditures and $2.0 million for expansion capital expenditures exclusive of the projects discussed below. In addition to our capital budget, we may spend funds periodically to do capital upgrades of our assets where a customer reimburses us for such costs. These reimbursements would be required under contractual agreements and would generally benefit the customer over the remaining life of such agreements.

We are proceeding with the expansion of our crude oil transportation system in southeastern New Mexico in response to increased crude oil production in the area. The expansion will provide shippers with additional pipeline takeaway capacity to either common carrier pipeline stations for transportation to major crude oil markets or to HFC's New Mexico refining facilities. To complete the project, we will convert an existing refined products pipeline to crude oil service, construct several new pipeline segments, expand an existing pipeline, and build new truck unloading stations and crude storage capacity. Excluding the value of the existing pipeline to be converted, total capital expenditures are expected to cost between $35 million and $40 million. We estimate the project will provide increased capacity of up to 100,000 barrels per day across the system and anticipate it will be in full service no later than May 2014 though some segments may be completed and in service in late 2013.

UNEV is proceeding with a project to add certain enhancements to its product terminal in Las Vegas, Nevada. The project will cost approximately $13 million with construction scheduled to be completed during the second quarter of 2014.

We also are currently evaluating two proposed new pipelines. The first proposed pipeline would be a new intrastate crude oil pipeline between Cushing, Oklahoma and HFC's Tulsa, Oklahoma refinery. The 50-mile line would provide safe and reliable transport of Cushing sourced domestic and Canadian crude oil to HFC's 125,000 BPD Tulsa facility. The pipeline would allow for a significant portion of crude oil transported to be heavy Canadian and sour crude oil. Crude oil processed at HFC's Tulsa facility currently is transported on pipelines owned by Sunoco Logistics and Magellan Pipeline Company. The second proposed pipeline would be a new 100-mile interstate petroleum products pipeline between HFC's Cheyenne, Wyoming refinery and Denver, Colorado. The 52,000 BPD refinery, with its ability to process up to 35,000 BPD of heavy Canadian crude and its close proximity to growing domestic crude production, is a significant supplier of petroleum products to the Denver market. The project also will evaluate the construction of a new petroleum products terminal in North Denver or, alternatively, the routing of the new pipeline to existing third-party product terminals in the Denver area. This infrastructure addition would ensure safe and reliable transport of petroleum products from HFC's location-advantaged refinery to its largest market. Petroleum products produced at HFC's Cheyenne, Wyoming refinery currently are transported to Denver on the Rocky Mountain Pipeline's products line owned by Plains All-American. We anticipate that we will decide whether to proceed with these projects in the third quarter of 2013.

HFC and we are collaborating to evaluate the construction of a rail facility that will enable crude oil loading and unloading near HFC's Artesia and/or Lovington, New Mexico refining facilities. The rail project, which will be connected to our crude oil pipeline transportation system in southeastern New Mexico, will have an initial capacity of up to 70,000 barrels per day and will enable access to a variety of crude oil types including West Texas Intermediate (WTI), West Texas Sour (WTS) and Western Canadian Select (WCS). The project will provide both additional crude oil takeaway options for producers as crude production in the region continues to grow, and an expanded set of crude oil sourcing options for HFC. We anticipate project completion would take nine to twelve months once the decision to proceed is made.

We expect that our currently planned sustaining and maintenance capital expenditures, as well as expenditures for acquisitions and capital development projects will be funded with existing cash generated by operations, the sale of additional limited partner common units, the issuance of debt securities and advances under our Credit Agreement, or a combination thereof. With volatility and uncertainty at times in the credit and equity markets, there may be limits on our ability to issue new debt or equity financing. Additionally, due to pricing movements in the debt and equity markets, we may not be able to issue new debt and equity securities at acceptable pricing. Without additional capital beyond amounts available under the Credit Agreement, our ability to obtain funds for some of these capital projects may be limited.

Credit Agreement

We have a $550 million senior secured revolving credit facility expiring in June 2017 that is available to fund capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, distribution payments and working capital and for general partnership purposes. It is available also to fund letters of credit up to a $50 million sub-limit and to fund distributions to unitholders up to a $60 million sub-limit.

The Credit Agreement imposes certain requirements on us which we are in compliance with currently, 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 into a merger or consolidation, or sell assets; and covenants that require maintenance of a specified EBITDA to interest expense ratio, total debt to EBITDA ratio and senior 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.

Senior Notes

In March 2012, we issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of 6.5% senior notes maturing March 1, 2020 (the “6.5% Senior Notes”). Net proceeds of $294.8 million were used in March and April 2012 to redeem $185.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.25% senior notes maturing March 1, 2015 (the “6.25 Senior Notes”) tendered pursuant to a cash tender offer and consent solicitation, to repay $72.9 million in promissory notes due to HFC, to pay related fees, expenses and accrued interest in connection with these transactions and to repay borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

- 36 -

Table of Contentsril 19,

Also, we have $150 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of 8.25% senior notes maturing March 15, 2018 (the "8.25 Senior Notes").

Our 6.5% Senior Notes and 8.25% Senior Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) are unsecured and impose certain restrictive covenants which we are in compliance with currently, 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, and guaranteed by our wholly-owned subsidiaries. However, any recourse to HEP Logistics would be limited to the extent of its assets, which other than its investment in us, are not significant.

See “Risk Management” for a discussion of our interest rate swaps.

Contractual Obligations

There were no significant changes to our long-term contractual obligations during this period.

Impact of Inflation

Inflation in the United States has been relatively moderate in recent years and did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Historically, the PPI has increased an average of 3.2% annually over the past 5 calendar years.

The substantial majority of our revenues are generated under long-term contracts that provide for increases in our rates and minimum revenue guarantees annually for increases in the PPI. Certain of these contracts have provisions that limit the level of annual PPI percentage rate increases. Although the recent PPI increase may not be indicative of additional increases to be realized in the future, a significant and prolonged period of high inflation could adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations if costs increase at a rate greater than the fees we charge our shippers.

Environmental Matters

Our operation of pipelines, terminals, and associated facilities in connection with the transportation and storage of refined products and crude oil 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 given that the operations of our competitors are similarly affected. We believe that our operations are in substantial compliance with applicable environmental laws and regulations. However,

- 37 -

Table of Contentsril 19,

these laws and regulations, and the interpretation or enforcement thereof, are subject to frequent 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. 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 major 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 employees, neighboring landowners and other third parties for personal injury and property damage.

Under the Omnibus Agreement and certain transportation agreements and purchase agreements with HFC, HFC has agreed to indemnify us, subject to certain monetary and time limitations, for environmental noncompliance and remediation liabilities associated with certain assets transferred to us from HFC and occurring or existing prior to the date of such transfers.

We have an environmental agreement with Alon with respect to pre-closing environmental costs and liabilities relating to the pipelines and terminals acquired from Alon in 2005, under which Alon will indemnify us subject to certain monetary and time limitations.

There are environmental remediation projects that are currently in progress that relate to certain assets acquired from HFC. Certain of these projects were underway prior to our purchase and represent liabilities of HFC as the obligation for future remediation activities was retained by HFC. At June 30, 2013, we have an accrual of $3.6 million that relates to environmental clean-up projects for which we have assumed liability or for which the indemnity provided for by HFC has expired or will expire. The remaining projects, including assessment and monitoring activities, are covered under the HFC environmental indemnification discussed above and represent liabilities of HFC.

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. Our significant accounting policies are described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Operations—Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. 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 goodwill, and assessing contingent liabilities for probable losses. There have been no changes to these policies in 2013. We consider these 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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

Effective January 1, 2013, we adopted the accounting standard update that required the disclosure of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component either on the face of the financial statements or in the notes. The adoption of this accounting standard did not have an impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

RISK MANAGEMENT

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

As of June 30, 2013, we have three interest rate swaps, designated as a cash flow hedge, that hedge our exposure to the cash flow risk caused by the effects of LIBOR changes on $305.0 million of Credit Agreement advances. Our first interest rate swap effectively converts $155.0 million of our LIBOR based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate of 0.99% plus an applicable margin of 2.50% as of June 30, 2013, which equaled an effective interest rate of 3.49%. This swap contract matures in February 2016. Also we have two similar interest rate swaps with identical terms which effectively convert $150.0 million of our LIBOR based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate of 0.74% plus an applicable margin of 2.50% as of June 30, 2013, which equaled an effective interest rate of 3.24%. Both of these swap contracts mature in July 2017.

We review publicly available information on our counterparties in order to monitor their financial stability and assess their ongoing ability to honor their commitments under the interest rate swap contracts. These counterparties are large financial institutions.

- 38 -

Table of Contentsril 19,

Furthermore, we have not experienced, nor do we expect to experience, any difficulty in the counterparties honoring their respective commitments.

The market risk inherent in our debt positions is the potential change arising from increases or decreases in interest rates as discussed below.

At June 30, 2013, we had an outstanding principal balance on our 6.5% Senior Notes and 8.25% Senior Notes of $300 million and $150 million, respectively. A change in interest rates generally would affect the fair value of the Senior Notes, but not our earnings or cash flows. At June 30, 2013, the fair values of our 6.5% and 8.25% Senior Notes were $294.0 million and $158.6 million, respectively. We estimate a hypothetical 10% change in the yield-to-maturity applicable to the 6.5% Senior Notes and 8.25% Senior Notes at June 30, 2013 would result in a change of approximately $10.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively, in the fair value of the underlying notes.

For the variable rate Credit Agreement, changes in interest rates would affect cash flows, but not the fair value. At June 30, 2013, borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement were $355.0 million. By means of our cash flow hedges, we have effectively converted the variable rate on $305.0 million of outstanding borrowings to a fixed rate. For the remaining unhedged Credit Agreement borrowings of $50.0 million, a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates applicable to the Credit Agreement would not materially affect our cash flows.

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.

We have a risk management oversight committee that is made up of members from our senior management. This committee monitors our risk environment and provides direction for activities to mitigate, to an acceptable level, identified risks that may adversely affect the achievement of our goals.

Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. See “Risk Management” under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of market risk exposures that we have with respect to our long-term debt, which disclosure should be read in conjunction with the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. We utilize derivative instruments to hedge our interest rate exposure, as discussed under “Risk Management.”

Since we do not own products shipped on our pipelines or terminalled at our terminal facilities, we do not have direct 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 Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the information we are required to disclose in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Based upon the evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2013 at a reasonable level of assurance.

(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.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION


Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

We are a party to various legal and regulatory proceedings, which we believe will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes in our risk factors as previously disclosed in Part 1, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. In addition to the other information set forth in this quarterly report, you should consider carefully the factors discussed in our 2012 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this quarterly report and in our 2012 Form 10-K are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition or future results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The following table discloses purchases of our common units made by us or on our behalf for the periods shown below.



Period	Total Number of Units Purchased	Average Price Paid Per Unit		Total Number of Units Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plan or Program	Maximum Number of Units that May Yet be Purchased Under a Publicly Announced Plan or Program
