NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1: Description of Business and Presentation of Financial Statements
Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (HEP) together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is a publicly held
master limited partnership, currently 46% owned by Holly Corporation and its subsidiaries
(collectively Holly). We commenced operations July 13, 2004 upon the completion of our initial
public offering. In this document, 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,
tankage and terminal facilities.
One of Hollys wholly-owned subsidiaries owns a refinery in Artesia, New Mexico, which Holly
operates in conjunction with crude, vacuum distillation and other facilities situated in Lovington,
New Mexico (collectively, the Navajo Refinery). The Navajo Refinery produces high-value refined
products such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel and serves markets in the southwestern United
States and northern Mexico. We own and operate the two parallel intermediate feedstock pipelines
(the Intermediate Pipelines), which connect the New Mexico refining facilities. Our operations
serving the Navajo Refinery include refined product pipelines that serve as part of the refinerys
product distribution network. We also own and operate crude oil pipelines and on-site crude oil
tankage that supply and support the refinery. Our terminal operations serving the Navajo Refinery
include an on-site truck rack at the refinery and five integrated refined product terminals located
in New Mexico, Texas and Arizona.
Another of Hollys wholly-owned subsidiaries owns a refinery located near Salt Lake City, Utah (the
Woods Cross Refinery). Our operations serving the Woods Cross Refinery include crude oil and
refined product pipelines, crude oil tankage and a truck rack at the refinery, a refined product
terminal in Spokane, Washington and a 50% non-operating interest in product terminals in Boise and
Burley, Idaho.
In February 2008, we acquired crude pipeline and tankage assets from Holly (the Crude Pipelines
and Tankage Assets), that service Hollys Navajo and Woods Cross Refineries. Our pipeline,
tankage and terminalling operations reflect the operations of our crude pipeline and tankage assets
commencing March 1, 2008. See Note 2 for additional information.
We also own and operate refined products pipelines and terminals, located primarily in Texas, that
service Alon USA, Inc.s (Alon) refinery in Big Spring, Texas.
Additionally, we own a refined product terminal in Mountain Home, Idaho, and a 70% interest in Rio
Grande Pipeline Company (Rio Grande), which provides transportation of liquefied petroleum gases
to northern Mexico.
In March 2009, we acquired a 25% joint venture interest in a new 95-mile intrastate pipeline system
(the SLC Pipeline) jointly owned by Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (Plains) and us. See
Note 10 for additional information on the SLC Pipeline joint venture.
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, 2008.
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, 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements an Amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 160, which
changes the classification of non-controlling interests, also referred to as minority interests, in
the consolidated financial statements. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2009. As a
result, all previous references to minority interest within this document have been replaced with
noncontrolling interest. Additionally, net income attributable to the non-controlling interest
in our Rio Grande subsidiary is now presented as an adjustment to net income to arrive at Net
income attributable to Holly Energy Partners, L.P. in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
Prior to our adoption of this standard, this amount was presented as Minority interest in Rio
Grande, a non-operating expense item before Income before income taxes. Furthermore, equity
attributable to noncontrolling interests in our Rio Grande subsidiary is now presented as a
separate component of total equity in our Consolidated Financial Statements. We have adopted this
standard on a retroactive basis. While this presentation differs from previous GAAP requirements,
this standard did not affect our net income and equity attributable to HEP partners.
SFAS 141(R) Business Combinations
SFAS No. 141(R) became effective January 1, 2009, which establishes principles and requirements for
how an acquirer accounts for a business combination. It also requires that acquisition-related
transaction and restructuring costs be expensed rather than be capitalized as part of the cost of
an acquired business. Accordingly, we were required to expense the $2.5 million finders fee
related to the acquisition of our SLC Pipeline joint venture interest.
SFAS No. 161 Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of SFAS
No. 133
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, which amends and expands the disclosure requirements
of SFAS 133 to include disclosure of the objectives and strategies related to an entitys use of
derivative instruments, disclosure of how an entity accounts for its derivative instruments and
disclosure of the financial impact, including the effect on cash flows associated with derivative
activity. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2009. See Note 6 for disclosure of our
derivative instruments and hedging activity.
EITF No. 07-04 Application of the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per
Share, to Master Limited Partnerships
In March 2008, the FASB ratified Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 07-04, which
prescribes the application of the two-class method in computing earnings per unit to reflect a
master limited partnerships contractual obligation to make distributions to the general partner,
limited partners and incentive distribution rights holder. We adopted this standard effective
January 1, 2009. As a result, quarterly earnings allocations to the general partner now include
incentive distributions that were declared subsequent to quarter end. Prior to our adoption of
this standard, our general partner earnings allocations included incentive distributions that were
declared during each quarter. We have adopted this standard on a retroactive basis. Although this
standard resulted in a decrease in our limited partners interest in net income attributable to
Holly Energy Partners, L.P. for the first quarter of 2008, it did not affect last years first
quarter earnings of $0.43 per limited partner unit.
FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1 Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based
Transactions Are Participating Securities
In June 2006, the FASB issued FSP No. 03-6-1 which provides guidance in determining whether
unvested instruments granted under share-based payment transactions are participating securities
and, therefore, should be included in earnings per share calculations under the two-class method
provided under FASB No. 128, Earnings per Share. We adopted this standard effective January 1,
2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.

Note 2: Holly Crude Pipelines and Tankage Transaction
On February 29, 2008, we acquired the Crude Pipelines and Tankage Assets from Holly for $180.0
million that consist of crude oil trunk lines that deliver crude oil to Hollys Navajo Refinery in
southeast New Mexico, gathering and connection pipelines located in west Texas and New Mexico,
on-site crude tankage located within the Navajo and Woods Cross refinery complexes, a jet fuel
products pipeline between Artesia and Roswell, New Mexico, a leased jet fuel terminal in Roswell,
New Mexico and crude oil and product pipelines that support Hollys Woods Cross Refinery. The
consideration paid consisted of $171.0 million in cash and 217,497 of our common units having a
fair value of $9.0 million. We financed the $171.0 million cash portion of the consideration
through borrowings under our senior secured revolving credit agreement expiring August 2011.
In connection with this transaction, we entered into a 15-year crude pipelines and tankage
agreement with Holly (the Holly CPTA). Under the Holly CPTA, Holly agreed to transport and store
volumes of crude oil on the crude pipelines and tankage facilities that at the agreed rates will
result in minimum annual payments to us of $26.8 million. These minimum annual payments or revenue
will be adjusted each year at a rate equal to the percentage change in the Producer Price Index
(PPI) but will not decrease as a result of a decrease in the PPI. Under the agreement, the
tariff rates will generally be increased annually by the percentage change in the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission (FERC) Oil Pipeline Index. The FERC index is the change in the PPI plus a
FERC adjustment factor which is reviewed periodically.

Note 4: Transportation Agreements
Our transportation agreements consist of the following:
|
|
|
The Alon transportation 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 represents a portion of the total
purchase price of the Crude Pipelines and Tankage Assets that was allocated using a fair
value based on the agreements 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. |

We have two additional 15-year transportation agreements with Holly. One of the agreements relates
to the pipelines and terminals contributed to us from Holly at the time of our initial public
offering in 2004 (the Holly PTA). The second agreement relates to the Intermediate Pipelines
acquired from Holly in 2005 (the Holly IPA). Our basis in the assets acquired under these
transfers reflect Hollys historical cost and do not reflect a step-up in basis to fair value.
Therefore, these agreements have a recorded value of zero.
Note 5: Employees, Retirement and Benefit Plans
Employees who provide direct services to us are employed by Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C., a
Holly subsidiary. Their costs, including salaries, bonuses, payroll taxes, benefits and other
direct costs, are charged to us monthly in accordance with an omnibus agreement that we have with
Holly (the Omnibus Agreement). These employees participate in the retirement and benefit plans
of Holly. Our share of retirement and benefit plan costs was $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
We have adopted an incentive plan (Long-Term Incentive Plan) for employees, consultants and
non-employee directors who perform services for us. The Long-Term Incentive Plan consists of four
components: restricted units, performance units, unit options and unit appreciation rights.
On March 31, 2009, we had two types of equity-based compensation, which are described below. The
compensation cost charged against income for these plans was $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. It is currently our policy to purchase
units in the open market instead of issuing new units for settlement of restricted unit grants. At
March 31, 2009, 350,000 units were authorized to be granted under the equity-based compensation
plans, of which 200,541 had not yet been granted.
Restricted Units
Under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, we grant restricted units to selected employees and directors
who perform services for us, with vesting generally over a period of one to five years. Although
full ownership of the units does not transfer to the recipients until the units vest, the
recipients have distribution and voting rights on these units from the date of grant. The vesting
for certain key executives is contingent upon certain earnings per unit targets being realized.
The fair value of each unit of restricted unit grant was measured at the market price as of the
date of grant and is being amortized over the vesting period, including the units issued to the key
executives, as we expect those units to fully vest.

The fair value of restricted units that were vested and transferred to recipients during the three
months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively. As of March
31, 2009, there was $1.0 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to nonvested
restricted unit grants. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of
1.2 years.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we paid $0.6 million for the purchase of 26,431 of
our common units in the open market for the recipients of our 2009 restricted unit grants.
Performance Units
Under our Long-Term Incentive Plan, we grant performance units to selected executives and employees
who perform services for us. These performance units are payable based upon the growth in
distributions on our common units during the requisite period, and generally vest over a period of
three years. As of March 31, 2009, estimated share payouts for outstanding nonvested performance
unit awards ranged from 0% to 150%.
We granted 28,113 performance units to certain officers in March 2009. These units will vest over
a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2011 and are payable in HEP common units. The
number of units actually earned will be based on the growth of distributions to limited partners
over the performance period, and can range from 50% to 150% of the number of performance units
issued. The fair value of these performance units is based on the grant date closing unit price of
$23.30 and will apply to the number of units ultimately awarded.

The fair value of performance units that were vested and transferred to recipients during the three
months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $0.4 million and $0.1 million, respectively. Based on
the weighted average grant date fair value of $32.95 at March 31, 2009 there was $1.5 million of
total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested performance units. That cost is expected
to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.8 years.
- 12 -
Note 6: Debt
Credit Agreement
We have a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2011 (the
Credit Agreement). 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 $50.0 million sub-limit and to fund distributions to
unitholders up to a $20.0 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 three months ended March 31, 2009, we received net advances
totaling $40.0 million that were used as interim financing for capital projects and the purchase of
our SLC Pipeline joint venture interest. As of March 31, 2009, we had $240.0 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 their assets, which other than their 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 March 31, 2009, 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 the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable
margin (ranging from 1.00% to 2.50%). In each case, the applicable margin is based upon the ratio
of our funded debt (as defined in the agreement) to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, as defined in the agreement). We incur a commitment fee on the
unused portion of the Credit Agreement at a rate ranging from 0.20% to 0.50% based upon the ratio
of our funded debt to EBITDA for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters. At March 31,
2009, we are subject to a 0.30% commitment fee on the $60.0 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 be due and payable.
The Credit Agreement imposes certain requirements on us, including: a prohibition against
distribution to unitholders if, before or after the distribution, a potential default or an event
of default as defined in the agreement would occur; limitations on our ability to incur debt, make
loans, acquire other companies, change the nature of our business, enter a merger or consolidation,
or sell assets; and covenants that require maintenance of a specified EBITDA to interest expense
ratio and debt to EBITDA ratio. If an event of default exists under the agreement, the lenders
will be able to accelerate the maturity of the debt and exercise other rights and remedies.
Additionally, the Credit Agreement contains certain provisions whereby the lenders may accelerate
payment of outstanding debt under certain circumstances.
Senior Notes Due 2015
Our senior notes maturing March 1, 2015 are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) and bear interest at 6.25% (the Senior Notes). The Senior Notes are unsecured
and impose certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional
indebtedness, make investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, pay distributions, enter into
transactions with affiliates, and enter into mergers. At any time when the Senior Notes are rated
investment grade by both Moodys and Standard & Poors and no default or event of default exists,
we will not be subject to many of the foregoing covenants. Additionally, we have certain
redemption rights under the Senior Notes.
- 13 -
Indebtedness under the Senior Notes is recourse to HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P., our general
partner, and guaranteed by our wholly-owned subsidiaries. Any recourse to HEP Logistics Holdings,

We are currently classifying all borrowings under the Credit Agreement as long-term. At December 31, 2008, we reclassified certain of our Credit Agreement borrowings as short-term. |
Interest Rate Risk Management
We use interest rate derivatives to manage our exposure to interest rate risk. As of March 31,
2009, we have three interest rate swap contracts.
We have an interest rate swap that hedges our exposure to the cash flow risk caused by the effects
of LIBOR changes on the $171.0 million Credit Agreement advance that we used to finance our
purchase of the Crude Pipelines and Tankage Assets in February 2008. This interest rate swap
effectively converts our $171.0 million LIBOR based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate
of 3.74% plus an applicable margin, currently 1.75%, which equaled an effective interest rate of
5.49% as of March 31, 2009. The maturity date of this swap contract is February 28, 2013. We
intend to renew our Credit Agreement prior to its expiration in August 2011 and continue to finance
the $171.0 million balance until the swap matures.
We have designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. Based on our assessment of
effectiveness using the change in variable cash flows method, we have determined that this interest
rate swap is effective in offsetting the variability in interest payments on our $171.0 million
variable rate debt resulting from changes in LIBOR. Under hedge accounting, we adjust our cash
flow hedge on a quarterly basis to its fair value with 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
$171.0 million variable rate debt. Any ineffectiveness is reclassified from accumulated other
comprehensive income to interest expense. As of March 31, 2009, we had no ineffectiveness on our
cash flow hedge.
We also have an interest rate swap contract that effectively converts interest expense associated
with $60.0 million of our 6.25% Senior Notes from a fixed to a variable rate (Variable Rate
Swap). Under this swap contract, interest on the $60.0 million notional amount is computed using
the three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 1.1575%, which equaled an effective interest rate of 2.42%
as of March 31, 2009. The maturity date of this swap contract is March 1, 2015, matching the
maturity of the Senior Notes.
In October 2008, we entered into an additional interest rate swap contract, effective December 1,
2008, that effectively unwinds the effects of the Variable Rate Swap discussed above, converting
$60.0 million of our hedged long-term debt back to fixed rate debt (Fixed Rate Swap). Under the
Fixed Rate Swap, interest on a notional amount of $60.0 million is computed at a fixed rate of
3.59% versus three-month LIBOR which when added to the 1.1575% spread on the Variable Rate Swap
results in an effective fixed interest rate of 4.75%. The maturity date of this swap contract is
December 1, 2013.
- 14 -
Prior to the execution of our Fixed Rate Swap, the Variable Rate Swap was designated as a fair
value hedge of $60.0 million in outstanding principal under the Senior Notes. We dedesignated this
hedge in October 2008. At this time, the carrying balance of our Senior Notes included a $2.2
million premium due to the application of hedge accounting until the dedesignation date. This
premium is being amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the
Variable Rate Swap.
Our interest rate swaps not having a hedge designation are measured quarterly at fair value
either as an asset or a liability in our consolidated balance sheets with the offsetting fair value
adjustment to interest expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recognized $0.2
million in interest expense attributable to fair value adjustments to our interest rate swaps.
We record interest expense equal to the variable rate payments under the swaps. Receipts under the
swap agreements are recorded as a reduction of interest expense.
Our interest rate swaps are valued using Level 2 inputs. Additional information on our interest
rate swaps as of March 31, 2009 is as follows:

Note 8: Related Party Transactions
Holly and Alon Agreements
As of March 31, 2009, we serve Hollys refineries in New Mexico and Utah under three 15-year
pipeline and terminal and tankage agreements. The substantial majority of our business is devoted
to providing transportation, storage and terminalling services to Holly.
We have an agreement that relates to the pipelines and terminals contributed by Holly to us at the
time of our initial public offering and expires in 2019, the Holly PTA. Our second agreement with
Holly relates to the Intermediate Pipelines acquired from Holly in July 2005 and expires in 2020,
the Holly IPA. And third, we have the Holly CPTA that relates to the Crude Pipelines and Tankage
Assets acquired from Holly in 2008 and expires on February 29, 2023.
Under the Holly PTA, Holly IPA and Holly CPTA, Holly agreed to transport and store volumes of
refined product and crude oil on our pipelines and terminal and tankage facilities that result in
minimum annual payments to us. These minimum annual payments or revenues will be adjusted each
year at a percentage change equal to the change in the 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 equal to the percentage change in the PPI or FERC index, but 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 which is reviewed periodically. Following the July 1, 2008 PPI
rate adjustments, these agreements will result in minimum payments to us of $81.3 million for the
twelve months ended June 30, 2009.
We also have a 15-year 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 results in a minimum level of annual revenue. The agreed upon tariffs are
increased or decreased annually at a rate equal to the percentage change in PPI, but not below the
initial tariff rate. Following the March 1, 2009 PPI rate adjustment, Alons total minimum
commitment for the twelve months ending February 28, 2010 decreased to $21.7 million.
If Holly or Alon fail to meet their minimum volume commitments under the agreements in any quarter,
it will be required to pay us in cash the amount of any shortfall by the last day of the month
following the end of the quarter. With the exception of the Holly CPTA, a shortfall payment may be
applied as a credit in the following four quarters after minimum obligations are met.
Under certain provisions of the Omnibus Agreement that we entered with Holly in July 2004 and that
expires in 2019, we pay Holly an annual administrative fee, 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. We also reimburse Holly and its affiliates
for direct expenses they incur on our behalf.
- 16 -
|
|
Pipeline, terminal and tankage revenues received from Holly were $18.3 million for each of
the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008. These amounts include the revenues received
under the Holly PTA, Holly IPA and Holly CPTA. |
|
|
Holly charged general and administrative services under the Omnibus Agreement of $0.6
million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. |
|
|
We reimbursed Holly for costs of employees supporting our operations of $4.7 million and
$2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively. |
|
|
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we paid Holly a $2.5 million finders fee in
consideration for their assistance in obtaining our joint venture interest in the SLC
Pipeline. |
|
|
We distributed $6.9 million and $6.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009

|
|
Our accounts receivable from Holly was $11.7 million and $9.4 million at March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, respectively. |
|
|
Holly has failed to meet its minimum volume commitment for each of the fifteen quarters
since inception of the Holly IPA. Through March 31, 2009, we have charged Holly $8.7 million
for these shortfalls to date, $1.8 million and $0.5 million of which is included in affiliate
accounts receivable at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. |
|
|
Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 include $0.2 million of shortfalls
billed under the Holly IPA in 2008 as Holly did not exceed its minimum volume commitment in
any of the subsequent four quarters. Deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets at
March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, includes $3.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively,
relating to the Holly IPA. It is possible that Holly may not exceed its minimum obligations
under the Holly IPA to allow Holly to receive credit for any of the $3.9 million deferred at
March 31, 2009. |
Alon became a related party when it acquired all of our Class B subordinated units in connection
with our acquisition of assets from them on February 28, 2005.
|
|
Pipeline and terminal revenues received from Alon were $7.7 million and $3.4 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, under the Alon PTA.
Additionally, pipeline revenues received under a pipeline capacity lease agreement with Alon
were $1.7 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. |

to Alon for distributions on its Class B subordinated units. |
|
|
Included in our accounts receivable trade were $3.3 million and $2.5 million at March
31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, which represented receivable balances from Alon. |
|
|
Our revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 include $2.9 million of shortfalls
billed under the Alon PTA in 2008 as Alon did not exceed its minimum revenue obligation in any
of the subsequent four quarters. Deferred revenue in the consolidated balance sheets at March
31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 includes $11.1 million and $13.3 million, respectively,
relating to the Alon PTA. It is possible that Alon may not exceed its minimum obligations
under the Alon PTA to allow Alon to receive credit for any of the $11.1 million deferred at
March 31, 2009. |
BP
We have a 70% ownership interest in Rio Grande and BP owns the other 30%. Due to the ownership
interest and resulting consolidation, BP is a related party to us.
- 17 -
|
|
BP is one of multiple shippers on the Rio Grande pipeline. We recorded revenues from BP of
$1.7 million and $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. |
|
|
Included in our accounts receivable trade at March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were
$0.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, which represented the receivable balance of Rio
Grande from BP. |
Note 9: HEP Partners Equity, Income Allocations, Cash Distributions and Comprehensive Income
Issuances of units
Holly currently holds 7,000,000 of our subordinated units and 290,000 of our common units, which
constitutes a 46% ownership interest in us, including the 2% general partner interest. The
subordination period of Hollys subordinated units will extend until the first day of any quarter
beginning after June 30, 2009 that each of the following tests are met: distributions of available
cash from operating surplus on each of the outstanding common units and subordinated units equaled
or exceeded the minimum quarterly distribution for each of the three consecutive, non-overlapping
four-quarter periods immediately preceding that date; the adjusted operating surplus (as defined
in its partnership agreement) generated during each of the three consecutive, non-overlapping
four-quarter periods immediately preceding that date equaled or exceeded the sum of the minimum
quarterly distributions on all of the outstanding common units and subordinated units during those
periods on a fully diluted basis and the related distribution on the 2% general partner interest
during those periods; and there are no arrearages in payment of the minimum quarterly distribution
on the common units. The Holly subordinated units will convert to common units (on a one-for-one
basis) on July 1, 2009 if these conditions are met.
Under our registration statement filed with the SEC using a shelf registration process, we may
offer from time to time up to $1.0 billion of our securities, through one or more prospectus
supplements that would describe, among other things, the specific amounts, prices and terms of any
securities offered and how the proceeds would be used. Any proceeds from the sale of securities
would be used for general business purposes, which may include, among other things, funding
acquisitions of assets or businesses, working capital, capital expenditures, investments in
subsidiaries, the retirement of existing debt and/or the repurchase of common units or other
securities.
Allocations of Net Income
Net income 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.
Cash Distributions
We consider regular cash distributions to unitholders on a quarterly basis, although there is no
assurance as to the future cash distributions since they are dependent upon future earnings, cash
flows, capital requirements, financial condition and other factors. Our Credit Agreement prohibits
us from making cash distributions if any potential default or event of default, as defined in the
agreement, occurs or would result from the cash distribution.
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.
The following table presents the allocation of our regular quarterly cash distributions to the
general and limited partners for each period in which they apply.

On April 23, 2009, we announced our cash distribution for the first quarter of 2009 of $0.775 per
unit. The distribution is payable on all common, subordinated, and general partner units and will
be paid May 14, 2009 to all unitholders of record on May 5, 2009.
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 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 and the intermediate pipelines purchased from Holly in 2005 had been acquired from
third parties, our acquisition cost in excess of Hollys basis in the transferred assets of $157.3
million would have been recorded as increases to our properties and equipment and intangible assets
instead of reductions to equity.

Note 10: SLC Pipeline Joint Venture
In March 2009, we acquired a 25% joint venture interest in the SLC Pipeline, a new 95-mile
intrastate pipeline system jointly owned by Plains and us. The SLC Pipeline allows various
refiners in the Salt Lake City area, including Hollys Woods Cross Refinery, to ship crude oil into
the Salt Lake City area from the Utah terminus of the Frontier Pipeline as well as crude oil
flowing from Wyoming and Utah via Plains Rocky Mountain Pipeline. The total cost of our
investment in the SLC Pipeline was $28.0 million, consisting of the capitalized $25.5 million joint
venture contribution and the $2.5 million finders fee paid to Holly that was expensed as
acquisition costs.
We account for our investment using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of
accounting, we record our pro-rata share of earnings of the SLC Pipeline. Contributions to and
distributions from the SLC Pipeline are recorded as adjustments to our investment balance.
The SLC Pipeline commenced pipeline operations effective March 2009. Our equity in earnings of the
SLC Pipeline was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.

Note 11: Supplemental Guarantor/Non-Guarantor Financial Information
Obligations of Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (Parent) under the 6.25% Senior Notes have been
jointly and severally guaranteed by each of its direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries
(Guarantor Subsidiaries). These guarantees are full and unconditional. Rio Grande
(Non-Guarantor), in which we have a 70% ownership interest, is the only subsidiary that has not

HOLLY ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P.
Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
This Item 2, including but not limited to the sections on Results of Operations and
Liquidity and Capital Resources, contains forward-looking statements. See Forward-Looking
Statements at the beginning of Part I. In this document, the words we, our, ours and us
refer to HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries or to HEP or an individual subsidiary and not to any
other person.
OVERVIEW
Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (HEP) is a Delaware limited partnership. We own and operate
substantially all of the petroleum product and crude oil pipeline, tankage and terminalling assets
that support the Holly Corporation (Holly) refining and marketing operations in west Texas, New
Mexico, Utah, Idaho and Arizona and a 70% interest in Rio Grande Pipeline Company (Rio Grande).
Holly currently owns a 46% interest in us. 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.
We operate a system of petroleum product and crude oil pipelines in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and
Utah and distribution terminals in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho and Washington. 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 or terminal; therefore, we are not directly exposed to changes in
commodity prices.
In February 2008, we acquired crude pipeline and tankage assets from Holly (the Crude Pipelines
and Tankage Assets), primarily consisting of crude oil trunk lines and gathering lines, product
and crude oil pipelines and tankage that service Hollys Navajo and Woods Cross Refineries and a
leased jet fuel terminal. Our pipeline, tankage and terminalling operations reflect the operations
of our crude pipeline and tankage assets commencing March 1, 2008.
In March 2009, we acquired a 25% joint venture interest in a new 95-mile intrastate pipeline system
(the SLC Pipeline) jointly owned by Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (Plains) and us. The
SLC Pipeline allows various refiners in the Salt Lake City area, including Hollys Woods Cross
Refinery, to ship crude oil into the Salt Lake City area from the Utah terminus of the Frontier
Pipeline as well as crude oil flowing from Wyoming and Utah via Plains Rocky Mountain Pipeline.
The SLC Pipeline commenced pipeline operations effective March 2009.
For the three months ended March 31, 2009, our revenues were $32.1 million compared to $27.3
million for the three months ended March 31, 2008. Our total operating costs and expenses for the
three months ended March 31, 2009 were $18.4 million compared to $15.3 million for the same period
of 2008.
Net income attributable to HEP partners was $5.4 million ($0.25 per basic and diluted limited
partner unit) for the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $7.8 million ($0.43 per basic
and diluted limited partner unit) for the same period of 2008. Under new accounting guidance
effective January 1, 2009, we were required to expense certain acquisition costs of $2.5 million
associated with our joint venture agreement with Plains that closed in March 2009. Under guidance
effective until December 31, 2008, we would have been required to capitalize these costs as part of
our investment in the joint venture.
Agreements with Holly Corporation and Alon
As of March 31, 2009, we serve Hollys refineries in New Mexico and Utah under three 15-year
pipeline, tankage and terminal agreements. The substantial majority of our business is devoted to
providing transportation, storage and terminalling services to Holly.
We have an agreement that relates to the pipelines and terminals contributed by Holly to us at the
time of our initial public offering in 2004 and expires in 2019 (the Holly PTA). Our second
agreement relates to the Intermediate Pipelines acquired from Holly in July 2005 and expires in
2020 (the
Holly IPA). Our third agreement relates to the Crude Pipelines and Tankage Assets acquired from
Holly and expires on February 29, 2023 (the Holly CPTA).
- 24 -
Under these agreements, Holly agreed to transport and store volumes of refined product and crude
oil on our pipelines and terminal and tankage facilities that result in minimum annual payments to
us. These minimum annual payments or revenues will be adjusted each year at a percentage change
equal to the change in the 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 equal to
the percentage change in the PPI or FERC index, but 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 which is reviewed periodically.
We also have a 15-year 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 results in a minimum level of annual revenue. The agreed upon tariffs are
increased or decreased annually at a rate equal to the percentage change in PPI, but not below the
initial tariff rate.
At March 31, 2009, contractual minimums under our long-term service agreements are as follows:

We depend on our agreements with Holly and Alon for the majority of our revenues. A significant
reduction in revenues under these agreements would have a material adverse effect on our results of
operations.
Under certain provisions of an omnibus agreement that we entered into with Holly in July 2004 and
expires in 2019 (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. We also reimburse
Holly and its affiliates for direct expenses they incur on our behalf.

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 declared
subsequent to quarter end. General partner incentive distributions for the three months
ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were $1.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively. HEP net
income attributable to the limited partners is divided by the weighted average limited
partner units outstanding in computing the limited partners per unit interest in HEP net
income. |

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is calculated
as net income attributable to HEP plus (i) interest expense net of interest income, (ii)
state income tax and (iii) depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation
based upon U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. 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 is also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis
for compliance with financial covenants. |

Distributable cash flow is not a calculation based upon U.S. GAAP. However, the
amounts included in the calculation are derived from amounts separately presented in our
consolidated financial statements, with the exception of 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. We believe that this measure provides
investors an enhanced perspective of the operating performance of our assets and the cash
our business is generating. |

Under new accounting guidance, Statement of Financial accounting Standards
(SFAS) No. 141(R) effective January 1, 2009, we were required to expense rather than
capitalize certain acquisition costs of $2.5 million associated with our joint venture
agreement with Plains that closed in March 2009. As these costs directly relate to our
interest in the new joint venture pipeline and are similar to expansion capital
expenditures, we have added back these costs to arrive at distributable cash flow. |
|
** |
|
Maintenance capital expenditures are capital expenditures made to replace
partially or fully depreciated assets in order to maintain the existing operating
capacity of our assets and to extend their useful lives. |

The amounts reported for the three months ended March 31, 2008 include volumes
transported on the crude pipelines for the period from March 1, 2008 through March 31, 2008
only. Volumes shipped during March 2008 averaged 139.1 thousand barrels per day (mbpd).
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, crude pipeline volumes are based on March
volumes, averaged over the 91 days in the first quarter of 2008. Under the Holly CPTA,
fees are based on volumes transported on each pipeline component comprising the crude
pipeline system (the crude oil gathering pipelines and the crude oil trunk lines).
Accordingly, volumes transported on the crude pipelines represent the sum of volumes
transported on both pipeline components. In cases where volumes are transported over both
components of the crude pipeline system, such volumes are reflected twice in the total
crude oil pipeline volumes. |

As a master limited partnership, we distribute our available cash, which historically
has exceeded net income because depreciation and amortization expense represents a non-cash
charge against income. The result is a decline in 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 and the intermediate pipelines
purchased from Holly in 2005 had been acquired from third parties, our acquisition cost in
excess of Hollys basis in the transferred assets of $157.3 million would have been
recorded as increases to our properties and equipment and intangible assets instead of
reductions to equity. |

During the first quarter of 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements an amendment of ARB No. 51. As a result, net income
attributable to the non-controlling interest in our Rio Grande subsidiary is now presented
as an adjustment to net income to arrive at Net income attributable to Holly Energy
Partners, L.P. in our Consolidated Statements of Income. Prior to our adoption of this
standard, this amount was presented as Minority interest in Rio Grande, a non-operating
expense item before Income before income taxes. Additionally, equity attributable to
noncontrolling interests in our Rio Grande subsidiary is now presented as a separate
component of total equity in our Consolidated Financial Statements. We have adopted this
standard on a retroactive basis. While this presentation differs from previous GAAP
requirements, this standard did not affect our net income and equity attributable to HEP
partners. |

During the quarter, we also adopted Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) No. 07-4,
Application of the Two-Class Method under SFAS No. 128 to Master Limited Partnerships,
which prescribes the application of the two-class method in computing earnings per unit to
reflect a master limited partnerships contractual obligation to make distributions to the
general partner, limited partners and incentive distribution rights holder. We adopted
this standard effective January 1, 2009. As a result, our quarterly earnings allocations
to the general partner now include incentive distributions that were declared subsequent to
quarter end. Prior to our adoption of this standard, our general partner earnings
allocations included incentive distributions that were declared during each quarter. We
have adopted this standard on a retroactive basis. Although this standard resulted in a
decrease in our limited partners interest in net income attributable to HEP for the first
quarter of 2008, it did not affect last years first quarter earnings of $0.43 per limited
partner unit. |
Results of Operations Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 Compared with Three Months Ended March
31, 2008
Summary
Net income attributable to HEP partners for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $5.4 million,
a $2.4 million decrease compared to the same period in 2008. This decrease was due principally to
a decrease in affiliate refined product and intermediate pipeline shipments as well as an increase
in operating costs and expenses and interest expense. Additionally, we incurred acquisition costs
of $2.5 million that relate to the acquisition of our SLC Pipeline joint venture interest in March
2009. These factors were partially offset by increased revenue attributable to our crude pipeline
assets, an increase in third-party pipeline shipments the effect of the annual tariff increase on
affiliate refined product and crude pipeline shipments and an increase in previously deferred
revenue realized. Revenue of $3.4 million relating to deficiency payments associated with certain
guaranteed shipping contracts was deferred during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Such
revenue will be recognized in future periods either as payment for shipments in excess of
guaranteed levels or when shipping rights expire unused after a twelve-month period.
Revenues
Total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were $32.1 million, a $4.8 million
increase compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase was due principally to
increased revenues attributable to our crude pipeline assets acquired in the first quarter of 2008,
an increase in third-party refined product pipeline shipments, the effect of the annual tariff
increase on affiliate refined product and crude pipeline shipments and an increase in previously
deferred revenue realized. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in affiliate volume
shipments on our pipeline systems as Holly completed a planned major maintenance turnaround at its
Navajo Refinery. Reduced production during this period resulted in a decrease in affiliate
pipeline shipments during the first quarter of 2009. Additionally during last years first
quarter, third-party refined product shipments were down as a result of an explosion and fire at
Alons Big Spring refinery in February 2008 that resulted in the temporary shutdown of production
at the refinery.
- 29 -
Revenues from our refined product pipelines were $19.8 million, an increase of $2.4 million
compared to the first quarter of 2008. This increase was due to an increase in third-party
shipments on our refined product pipeline system, the effect of the annual tariff increase on
affiliate refined product shipments and a $2.1 million increase in previously deferred revenue
realized. These increases were partially offset by the effects of a 26% decline in affiliate
refined product pipeline shipments as a result of the first quarter turnaround at Hollys Navajo
Refinery. Shipments on our refined product pipeline system decreased to an average of 128.6 mbpd
compared to 130.1 mbpd for the same period last year.
Revenues from our intermediate pipelines were $1.8 million, a decrease of $1.8 million compared to
the first quarter of 2008. This decrease was due to the effects of a 49% decline in volumes
shipped on our intermediate pipelines as a result of the first quarter turnaround at Hollys Navajo
Refinery and a $0.4 million decrease in previously deferred revenue realized. These decreases were
partially offset by the effect of the annual tariff increase on intermediate pipeline shipments.
Shipments on our intermediate product pipeline system decreased to an average of 34.3 mbpd compared
to 67.6 mbpd for the same period last year.
Revenues from our crude pipelines were $6.9 million, an increase of $4.7 million compared to the
first quarter of 2008. This increase was due to the realization of revenues from crude oil
shipments for a full three-month period during the first quarter of 2009 compared to one month of
shipments during the same period last year due to the commencement of our crude pipeline operations
effective March 1, 2008. This was partially offset by the effects of a decrease in average crude
oil shipments during the quarter as a result of reduced production arising from planned downtime at
Hollys Navajo Refinery. Shipments on our crude pipeline system decreased to an average of 122.2
mbpd during the quarter compared to 139.1 mbpd during the month of March 2008.
Revenues from terminal, tankage and truck loading rack fees were $3.6 million, a decrease of $0.4
million compared to the first quarter of 2008.
Operating Costs
Operations expense for three months ended March 31, 2009 increased by $1.1 million compared to the
three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase was due principally to costs associated with our
crude pipelines acquired in February 2008.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased by $1.9 million
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008, due to our crude pipeline and tankage assets and
related transportation agreement acquired in 2008.
General and Administrative
General and administrative costs for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were relatively flat
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008.
Equity in earnings of SLC Pipeline
The SLC Pipeline commenced pipeline operations effective March 2009. Our equity in earnings of the
SLC Pipeline was $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
SLC Pipeline Acquisition Costs
We incurred a $2.5 million finders fee in connection with the acquisition of our SLC Pipeline joint
venture interest. As a result of SFAS 141(R) effective January 1, 2009, we were required to
expense rather than capitalize these direct acquisition costs.
- 30 -
Interest Expense
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2009 totaled $5.4 million, an increase of
$1.6 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2008. This increase was due principally
to interest attributable to advances from our revolving credit agreement that were used to finance
our crude pipeline asset purchase in February 2008 as well as capital projects. For the three
months ended March 31, 2009, our aggregate effective interest rate was 5.2% compared to 5.0% for
the same period last year.
State Income Tax
State income taxes were $0.1 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
We have a $300.0 million senior secured revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2011 (the
Credit Agreement). 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 $50.0 million sub-limit and to fund distributions to
unitholders up to a $20.0 million sub-limit. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we
received net advances totaling $40.0 million that were used as interim financing for capital
projects and the purchase of our SLC Pipeline joint venture interest. As of March 31, 2009, we had
$240.0 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement.
Our senior notes maturing March 1, 2015 are registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) and bear interest at 6.25% (the Senior Notes). The Senior Notes are unsecured
and impose certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional
indebtedness, make investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, pay distributions, enter into
transactions with affiliates, and enter into mergers.
Under our shelf registration statement we may offer from time to time up to $1.0 billion of our
securities, through one or more prospectus supplements that would describe, among other things, the
specific amounts, prices and terms of any securities offered and how the proceeds would be used.
Any proceeds from the sale of securities would be used for general business purposes, which may
include, among other things, funding acquisitions of assets or businesses, working capital, capital
expenditures, investments in subsidiaries, the retirement of existing debt and/or the repurchase of
common units or other securities.
We believe our current cash balances, future internally-generated funds and funds available under
our Credit Agreement will provide sufficient resources to meet our working capital liquidity needs
for the foreseeable future. With the current conditions in the credit and equity markets, there
may be limits on our ability to issue new debt or equity financing. Additionally, due to pricing
in the current debt and equity markets, we may not be able to issue new debt and equity at
acceptable pricing. As a result, our ability to fund certain of our planned capital projects and
other business opportunities may be limited.
In February 2009, we paid a regular cash distribution of $0.765 on all units, an aggregate amount
of $13.8 million. Included in this distribution was $1.0 million paid to the general partner as an
incentive distribution.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009.
The cash flows used for investing activities of $36.1 million exceeded cash flows provided by
operating and financing activities of $9.6 million and $25.6 million, respectively. Working
capital for the three months ended March 31, 2009 increased by $30.8 million due principally to the
reclassification of $29.0 million in Credit Agreement advances to long-term debt. These advances
were classified as short-term borrowings at December 31, 2008 and have been reclassified to
long-term debt since our Credit Agreement expires in 2011.
- 31 -
Cash Flows Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities decreased by $2.8 million from $12.4 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 to $9.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Additional
cash collections of $3.3 million from our major customers were offset by miscellaneous
year-over-year changes in collections and payments.
Our major shippers are obligated to make deficiency payments to us if they do not meet their
minimum volume shipping obligations. Certain of these shippers then have the right to recapture
these amounts if future volumes exceed minimum levels. For the three months ended March 31, 2009,
we received cash payments of $1.8 million under these commitments. We billed $3.1 million during
the three months ended March 31, 2008 related to shortfalls that expired without recapture and was
recognized as revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2009. Another $3.4 million is
included in our accounts receivable at March 31, 2009 related to shortfalls that occurred in the
first quarter of 2009.
Cash Flows Investing Activities
Cash flows used for investing activities decreased by $146.0 million from $182.1 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 to $36.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we acquired our SLC Pipeline joint venture interest
at cost of $25.5 million. Additionally, additions to properties and equipment for three months
ended March 31, 2008 were $10.6 million, a decrease of $0.5 million compared to $11.1 million for
same period last year. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, we paid $171.0 million as
partial consideration for our purchase of the Crude Pipelines and Tankage Assets from Holly.
Cash Flows Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities decreased by $142.0 million from $167.6 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 to $25.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we received $40.0 million in net advances under our
Credit Agreement, a decrease of $141.0 million compared to $181.0 million received for the same
period last year. Additionally, during the three months ended March 31, 2009 we paid aggregate
cash distributions to all HEP unitholders, including the general partner interest, of $13.8
million, an increase of $1.2 million compared to $12.6 million during the first three months of
2008. We also paid $0.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2009 for the purchase of
common units for recipients of restricted grants compared to $0.5 million during the same period
last year. We paid $0.6 million in deferred financing costs in connection with the amendment to
our Credit Agreement during the three months ended March 31, 2008.
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 consist of maintenance capital expenditures and expansion
capital expenditures. 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 Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C. (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, special 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 years capital budget as well as, in certain cases, expenditures approved
for capital projects in capital budgets for prior years. The 2009 capital budget is comprised of
$3.7 million for maintenance capital expenditures and $2.2 million for expansion capital
expenditures. Additionally, capital expenditures planned in 2009 include
- 32 -
approximately $43.0 million for capital projects approved in prior years, most of which relate to
the expansion of the South System and the joint venture with Plains All American Pipeline, L.P.
discussed below.
In October 2007, we entered into an agreement with Holly that amends the Holly PTA under which we
have agreed to expand our pipeline between Artesia, New Mexico and El Paso, Texas (the South
System). The expansion of the South System includes replacing 85 miles of 8-inch pipe with
12-inch pipe, adding 150,000 barrels of refined product storage at our El Paso Terminal, improving
existing pumps, adding a tie-in to the Kinder Morgan pipeline to Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona, and
making related modifications. The cost of this project is estimated to be $48.3 million.
Construction of the South System pipe replacement and storage tankage is substantially complete.
The improvements to Kinder Morgans El Paso pump station are expected to be completed by July 2009.
In March 2009, we acquired a 25% joint venture interest in a new 95-mile intrastate pipeline
system, the SLC Pipeline, jointly owned by Plains and us. The SLC Pipeline allows various refiners
in the Salt Lake City area, including Hollys Woods Cross Refinery, to ship crude oil into the Salt
Lake City area from the Utah terminus of the Frontier Pipeline as well as crude oil flowing from
Wyoming and Utah via Plains Rocky Mountain Pipeline. The total cost of our investment in the SLC
Pipeline was $28.0 million, consisting of the capitalized $25.5 million joint venture contribution
and the $2.5 million finders fee paid to Holly that was expensed as acquisition costs.
We have an option agreement with Holly, granting us an option to purchase Hollys 75% equity
interest in a joint venture pipeline currently under construction. The pipeline will be capable of
transporting refined petroleum products from Salt Lake City, Utah to Las Vegas, Nevada (the UNEV
Pipeline). Under this agreement, we have an option to purchase Hollys equity interests in the
UNEV Pipeline, effective for a 180-day period commencing when the UNEV Pipeline becomes
operational, at a purchase price equal to Hollys investment in the joint venture pipeline, plus
interest at 7% per annum. The initial capacity of the pipeline will be 62,000 bpd, with the
capacity for further expansion to 120,000 bpd. The total cost of the pipeline project including
terminals is expected to be $300.0 million. Hollys share of this cost is $225.0 million. Hollys
UNEV project is in the final stage of the Bureau of Land Management permit process. Since it is
anticipated that the permit to proceed will now be received during the second quarter of 2009,
Holly is currently evaluating whether to maintain the current completion schedule for UNEV of early
2010 or whether from a commercial perspective, it would be better to delay completion until the
fall of 2010.
Holly is currently working on a project to deliver additional crude oils to its Navajo Refinery,
including a 70-mile pipeline from Centurion Pipeline L.P.s Slaughter Station in west Texas to
Lovington, New Mexico, and a 65-mile pipeline from Lovington to Artesia, New Mexico. Under
provisions of the Omnibus Agreement, we will have an option to purchase Hollys investment in the
project at a purchase price to be negotiated with Holly. The projects will increase the pipeline
capacity between Lovington and Artesia by 40,000 bpd. The cost of the projects is expected to be
$90.0 million and construction is currently expected to be completed and the projects to become
fully operational in the fourth quarter of 2009.
We are currently working on a capital improvement project that will provide increased flexibility
and capacity to our Intermediate Pipelines enabling us to accommodate increased volumes following
Hollys Navajo Refinery capacity expansion. This project is expected to be completed in mid 2009
at an estimated cost of $6.4 million.
Also during the first quarter of 2009, we completed the conversion of an existing 12-mile crude oil
pipeline to a natural gas pipeline at a cost of $1.9 million. This pipeline will supply Hollys
Navajo Refinery with natural gas. Currently, we are awaiting the tie-in to the natural gas
supplier.
We expect that our currently planned expenditures for sustaining and maintenance capital as well as
expenditures for acquisitions and capital development projects such as the UNEV Pipeline, South
System expansion and Holly crude oil projects described above will be funded with existing cash
generated by operations, the sale of additional limited partner units, the issuance of debt
securities and advances under our $300 million Credit Agreement maturing August 2011, or a
combination thereof. With the current conditions in the credit and equity markets, there may be
limits on our ability to issue
- 33 -
new debt or equity
financing. Additionally, due to pricing in the current 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 fund some of these capital projects
may be limited, especially the UNEV Pipeline and Hollys crude oil project. We are not obligated
to purchase these assets nor are we subject to any fees or penalties if HLS board of directors
decide not to proceed with either of these opportunities.
Credit Agreement
We have a $300.0 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 $50.0 million sub-limit and to fund distributions to unitholders up to a $20.0
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 interim financing of capital projects are classified as long-term liabilities. During
the three months ended March 31, 2009, we received net advances totaling $40.0 million that were
used as interim financing for capital projects and the purchase of our SLC Pipeline joint venture
interest. As of March 31, 2009, we had $240.0 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 their assets, which other than their 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 March 31, 2009, 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 the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus an applicable
margin (ranging from 1.00% to 2.50%). In each case, the applicable margin is based upon the ratio
of our funded debt (as defined in the agreement) to EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, as defined in the agreement). We incur a commitment fee on the
unused portion of the Credit Agreement at a rate ranging from 0.20% to 0.50% based upon the ratio
of our funded debt to EBITDA for the four most recently completed fiscal quarters. At March 31,
2009, we are subject to a 0.30% commitment fee on the $60.0 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 be due and payable.
The Credit Agreement imposes certain requirements on us, including: a prohibition against
distribution to unitholders if, before or after the distribution, a potential default or an event
of default as defined in the agreement would occur; limitations on our ability to incur debt, make
loans, acquire other companies, change the nature of our business, enter a merger or consolidation,
or sell assets; and covenants that require maintenance of a specified EBITDA to interest expense
ratio and debt to EBITDA ratio. If an event of default exists under the agreement, the lenders
will be able to accelerate the maturity of the debt and exercise other rights and remedies.
Additionally, the Credit Agreement contains certain provisions whereby the lenders may accelerate
payment of outstanding debt under certain circumstances.
Senior Notes Due 2015
Our Senior Notes maturing March 1, 2015 are registered with the SEC and bear interest at 6.25%.
The Senior Notes are unsecured and impose certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on
our ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments, sell assets, incur certain liens,
pay distributions,
enter into transactions with affiliates, and enter into mergers. At any time when the Senior Notes
are rated investment grade by both Moodys and Standard & Poors and no default or event of default
exists,
- 34 -
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. Any recourse to HEP Logistics Holdings,
L.P. would be limited to the extent of their assets, which other than their investment in us, are
not significant.

Impact of Inflation
Inflation in the United States has been relatively low in recent years and did not have a material
impact on our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.
- 35 -
A substantial majority of our revenues are generated under long-term contracts that include the
right to increase our rates and minimum revenue guarantees annually for increases in the PPI.
Historically, the PPI has increased an average of 4.3% annually over the past 5 calendar years.
Environmental Matters
Our operation of pipelines, terminals, and associated facilities in connection with the storage and
transportation 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 in 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, 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 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, Holly has also agreed to indemnify us up to certain aggregate amounts
for any environmental noncompliance and remediation liabilities associated with assets transferred
to us and occurring or existing prior to the date of such transfers. The Omnibus Agreement
provides environmental indemnification of up to $15.0 million through 2014 for the assets
transferred to us at the time of our initial public offering in 2004, up to $2.5 million through
2015 for the Intermediate Pipelines acquired in July 2005 and up to $7.5 million for the Crude
Pipelines and Tankage Assets.
Additionally, 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, for a ten year term expiring in 2015, will indemnify us subject to a
$100,000 deductible and a $20.0 million maximum liability cap.
There are environmental remediation projects that are currently underway relating to certain assets
purchased from Holly Corporation. These remediation projects, including assessment and monitoring
activities are covered by the environmental indemnification discussed above and represent
liabilities of Holly Corporation.
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 U.S. GAAP. The
preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect
the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results may
differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We consider the following
policies to be the most critical to understanding the judgments that are involved and the
uncertainties that could impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Item 7. Managements Discussion and Analysis
of Financial Condition and Operations Critical Accounting Policies in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Certain critical accounting policies that materially
affect the amounts recorded in our consolidated financial statements include revenue recognition,
assessing the possible
impairment of certain long-lived assets and assessing contingent liabilities for probable losses.
There have been no changes to these policies in 2009.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
SFAS No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements an Amendment of
Accounting Research Bulletin (ARB) No. 51
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 160, which
changes the classification of non-controlling interests, also referred to as minority interests, in
the consolidated financial statements. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2009. As a
result, all previous references to minority interest within this document have been replaced with
noncontrolling interest. Additionally, net income attributable to the non-controlling interest
in our Rio Grande subsidiary is now presented as an adjustment to net income to arrive at Net
income attributable to Holly Energy Partners, L.P. in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
Prior to our adoption of this standard, this amount was presented as Minority interest in Rio
Grande, a non-operating expense item before Income before income taxes. Furthermore, equity
attributable to noncontrolling interests in our Rio Grande subsidiary is now presented as a
separate component of total equity in our Consolidated Financial Statements. We have adopted this
standard on a retroactive basis. While this presentation differs from previous GAAP requirements,
this standard did not affect our net income and equity attributable to HEP partners.
SFAS 141(R) Business Combinations
SFAS No. 141(R) became effective January 1, 2009, which establishes principles and requirements for
how an acquirer accounts for a business combination. It also requires that acquisition-related
transaction and restructuring costs be expensed rather than be capitalized as part of the cost of
an acquired business. Accordingly, we were required to expense the $2.5 million finders fee
related to the acquisition of our SLC Pipeline joint venture interest.
SFAS No. 161 Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, an Amendment of SFAS
No. 133
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, which amends and expands the disclosure requirements
of SFAS 133 to include disclosure of the objectives and strategies related to an entitys use of
derivative instruments, disclosure of how an entity accounts for its derivative instruments and
disclosure of the financial impact, including the effect on cash flows associated with derivative
activity. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2009. See risk management below for
disclosure of our derivative instruments and hedging activity.
EITF No. 07-04 Application of the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per
Share, to Master Limited Partnerships
In March 2008, the FASB ratified EITF No. 07-04, which prescribes the application of the two-class
method in computing earnings per unit to reflect a master limited partnerships contractual
obligation to make distributions to the general partner, limited partners and incentive
distribution rights holder. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2009. As a result, our
quarterly earnings allocations to the general partner now include incentive distributions that were
declared subsequent to quarter end. Prior to our adoption of this standard, our general partner
earnings allocations included incentive distributions that were declared during each quarter. We
have adopted this standard on a retroactive basis. Although this standard resulted in a decrease in
our limited partners interest in net income attributable to Holly Energy Partners, L.P. for the
first quarter of 2008, it did not affect last years first quarter earnings of $0.43 per limited
partner unit.
FASB Staff Position (FSP) No. EITF 03-6-1 Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based
Transactions Are Participating Securities
In June 2006, the FASB issued FSP No. 03-6-1, which provides guidance in determining whether
unvested instruments granted under share-based payment transactions are participating securities
and, therefore, should be included in earnings per share calculations under the two-class method
provided under FASB No. 128, Earnings per Share. We adopted this standard effective January 1,
2009. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial condition,
results of operations and cash flows.

RISK MANAGEMENT
We use interest rate derivatives to manage our exposure to interest rate risk. As of March 31,
2009, we have three interest rate swap contracts.
We have an interest rate swap that hedges our exposure to the cash flow risk caused by the effects
of LIBOR changes on the $171.0 million Credit Agreement advance that we used to finance our
purchase of the Crude Pipelines and Tankage Assets in February 2008. This interest rate swap
effectively converts our $171.0 million LIBOR based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate
of 3.74% plus an applicable margin, currently 1.75%, which equaled an effective interest rate of
5.49% as of March 31, 2009. The maturity date of this swap contract is February 28, 2013. We
intend to renew our Credit Agreement prior to its expiration in August 2011 and continue to finance
the $171.0 million balance until the swap matures.
We have designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. Based on our assessment of
effectiveness using the change in variable cash flows method, we have determined that this interest
rate swap is effective in offsetting the variability in interest payments on our $171.0 million
variable rate debt resulting from changes in LIBOR. Under hedge accounting, we adjust our cash
flow hedge on a quarterly basis to its fair value with 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
$171.0 million variable rate debt. Any ineffectiveness is reclassified from accumulated other
comprehensive income to interest expense. As of March 31, 2009, we had no ineffectiveness on our
cash flow hedge.
We also have an interest rate swap contract that effectively converts interest expense associated
with $60.0 million of our 6.25% Senior Notes from a fixed to a variable rate (Variable Rate
Swap). Under this swap contract, interest on the $60.0 million notional amount is computed using
the three-month LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 1.1575%, which equaled an effective interest
rate of 2.42% as of March 31, 2009. The maturity date of this swap contract is March 1, 2015,
matching the maturity of the Senior Notes.
In October 2008, we entered into an additional interest rate swap contract, effective December 1,
2008, that effectively unwinds the effects of the Variable Rate Swap discussed above, converting
$60.0 million of our hedged long-term debt back to fixed rate debt (Fixed Rate Swap). Under the
Fixed Rate Swap, interest on a notional amount of $60.0 million is computed at a fixed rate of
3.59% versus three-month LIBOR which when added to the 1.1575% spread on the Variable Rate Swap
results in an effective fixed interest rate of 4.75%. The maturity date of this swap contract is
December 1, 2013.
Prior to the execution of our Fixed Rate Swap, the Variable Rate Swap was designated as a fair
value hedge of $60.0 million in outstanding principal under the Senior Notes. We dedesignated this
hedge in October 2008. At this time, the carrying balance of our Senior Notes included a $2.2
million premium due to the application of hedge accounting until the dedesignation date. This
premium is being amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the
Variable Rate Swap.
Our interest rate swaps not having a hedge designation are measured quarterly at fair value
either as an asset or a liability in our consolidated balance sheets with the offsetting fair value
adjustment to interest expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recognized $0.2
million in interest expense attributable to fair value adjustments to our interest rate swaps.
We record interest expense equal to the variable rate payments under the swaps. Receipts under the
swap agreements are recorded as a reduction of interest expense.

The market risk inherent in our debt instruments and positions is the potential change arising from
increases or decreases in interest rates as discussed below.
At March 31, 2009, we had an outstanding principal balance on our 6.25% Senior Notes of $185.0
million. By means of our interest rate swap contracts, we have effectively converted the 6.25%
fixed rate on $60.0 million of the Senior Notes to a fixed rate of 4.75%. A change in interest
rates would generally affect the fair value of the debt, but not our earnings or cash flows. At
March 31, 2009, the fair value of our Senior Notes was $136.9 million. We estimate a hypothetical
10% change in the yield-to-maturity applicable to the Senior Notes at March 31, 2009 would result
in a change of approximately $7.8 million in the fair value of the debt.
At March 31, 2009, our cash and cash equivalents included highly liquid investments with a maturity
of three months or less at the time of purchase. Due to the short-term nature of our cash and cash
equivalents, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would not have a material effect on the
fair market value of our portfolio. Since we have the ability to liquidate this portfolio, we do
not expect our operating results or cash flows to be materially affected to any significant degree
by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates on our investment portfolio.
Our operations are subject to normal hazards of operations, including fire, explosion and
weather-related perils. We maintain various insurance coverages, including business interruption
insurance, subject to certain deductibles. We are not fully insured against certain risks because
such risks are not fully insurable, coverage is unavailable, or premium costs, in our judgment, do
not justify such expenditures.
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.
- 39 -
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. See Risk
Management under Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations for a discussion of market risk exposures that we have with respect to our cash and
cash equivalents and long-term debt. We utilize derivative instruments to hedge our interest rate
exposure, also discussed under Risk Management.
Since we do not own products shipped on our pipelines or terminalled at our terminal facilities we
do not have market risks associated with commodity prices.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
(a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have evaluated, as required by Rule
13a-15(b) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act), our disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e)) as of the end of the period covered by
this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Based on that evaluation, the principal executive officer and
principal financial officer concluded that the design and operation of our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective in ensuring that information we are required to disclose in the reports
that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported,
within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commissions rules and forms.
(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule
13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our last fiscal quarter that have been
materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over
financial reporting.

material adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Securities and Use of Proceeds
(c) Common unit repurchases made in the quarter
