PLAINS ALL AMERICAN PIPELINE, L.P.
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements give effect to the
merger of Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. (Pacific) into Plains All American Pipeline,
L.P. (Plains) completed on November 15, 2006. The
merger-related transactions included:
|
|
|
The acquisition from LB Pacific, LP and its affiliates (LB Pacific) of
the general partner interest and incentive distribution rights of Pacific as well as
5,232,500 common units of Pacific and 5,232,500 subordinated units of Pacific for a total
of $700 million in cash; and |
|
|
|
|
The acquisition of the balance of Pacifics equity through a
unit-for-unit merger in which each Pacific unitholder (other than LB
Pacific) has the right to receive
0.77 newly issued Plains common units for each Pacific common unit. |
Upon
completion of the merger-related transactions, the general partner and limited partner
ownership interests in Pacific were extinguished and Pacific was merged with and into
Plains. Pacifics operating subsidiaries are directly or indirectly owned by Plains. The merger-related transactions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
The estimates of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary
assumptions, pending the completion of an independent appraisal, with any excess of purchase price
over the net fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed assigned to goodwill.
The
following unaudited pro forma condensed statement of combined
operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005 have been prepared as if the
transactions described above had taken place on January 1, 2005. The unaudited pro forma condensed
combined balance sheet at September 30, 2006 assumes the transactions were consummated on that date.
The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with and are
qualified in their entirety by reference to the notes accompanying such unaudited pro forma
financial statements as well as the notes included in the historical financial statements included
in the following public filings:
|
(1) |
|
Plains Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005; |
|
|
(2) |
|
Plains Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended September 30, 2006; |
|
|
(3) |
|
Pacifics Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended
December 31, 2005; and |
|
|
(4) |
|
Pacifics Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended September 30,
2006. |
The unaudited pro forma financial statements are based on assumptions that Plains believes are
reasonable under the circumstances and are intended for informational purposes only. They are not
necessarily indicative of the results of the actual or future operations or financial condition
that would have been achieved had the transactions occurred at the dates assumed (as noted above).
The unaudited pro forma financial statements do not give effect to any anticipated cost
savings or other financial benefits expected to result from the merger.

PLAINS ALL AMERICAN PIPELINE, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and underlying pro forma
adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions
made by the management of Plains and Pacific; therefore, actual results could differ materially
from the pro forma information. However, we believe the assumptions provide a reasonable basis for
presenting the significant effects of the transactions noted herein. Plains believes the pro forma
adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the pro forma
information. Please read Pro Forma Sensitivity Analysis for assumptions related to fair value
estimates.
The Plains Pro Forma income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for the
year ended December 31, 2005 includes, as required, the following pro forma adjustments related to
the acquisition of the Valero assets that Pacific acquired effective September 30, 2005: (i)
depreciation expense for the entire year of approximately $11 million associated with Plains
estimated purchase price allocated to the Valero assets; and (ii) interest expense of approximately
$11 million for the entire year on the $175 million
61/4% senior notes
issued to fund the asset acquisition. However, since the Valero transaction was an asset
acquisition, the Plains Pro Forma income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle
for the year ended December 31, 2005 does not include revenues and related operating expenses for
the period prior to the asset acquisition by Pacific. In addition, the Plains Pro Forma income
before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for the year ended December 31, 2005 and
the nine months ended September 30, 2006 does not include any synergies that Plains expects to achieve as
a result of the merger with Pacific.
The merger of Pacific into Plains presented in these pro forma statements has been accounted
for using the purchase method of accounting and the purchase price allocation has been estimated in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, Business Combinations. The
total estimated consideration is summarized below (in millions):

effectiveness of the merger, each Pacific common unit (other than the
5,232,500 common units purchased from LB Pacific) was converted into
the right to receive 0.77 Plains common units. Cash paid for any
fractional units as a result of the exchange was immaterial. The number of Plains common units that were
issued in the exchange was 22,247,040 calculated as follows:

Plains will obtain a
valuation of Pacifics assets and liabilities in order to develop a definitive allocation of the
purchase price. As a result, the final purchase price allocation may result in some amounts being
assigned to tangible or amortizable intangible assets apart from goodwill.

To the extent that any amount is assigned to a tangible or finite lived intangible asset,
this amount may ultimately be depreciated or amortized (as appropriate) to earnings over the
expected period of benefit of the asset. To the extent that any amount remains as goodwill or
indefinite lived intangible assets, this amount would not be subject to depreciation or
amortization, but would be subject to periodic impairment testing and, if necessary, would be
written down to fair value should circumstances warrant.

To reclassify certain line items on Pacifics historical financial
statements to conform to Plains historical presentation. |
|
|
b. |
|
Records the cash paid, equity exchanged, additional obligations
assumed and adjustments to fair value of the assets purchased and liabilities assumed in
the merger based on the purchase method of accounting. |

Reflects the elimination of accounts receivable and accounts
payable balances between Plains and Pacific. |
|
|
d. |
|
Reflects the elimination of purchases and sales between Plains and
Pacific. |
|
|
e. |
|
To reverse historical depreciation and amortization as recorded by
Pacific. |
|
|
f. |
|
Reflects depreciation and amortization on the acquired assets
based on the straight-line method of depreciation over average useful
lives ranging from 4
to 35 years. |
|
|
g. |
|
Reflects the net adjustment to interest expense for (i) the increase in
long-term debt of approximately $968 million from the issuance of $400 million of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2017
and $600 million of 6.65% Senior Notes due 2037 using a weighted
average interest rate of 6.4%, (ii) the decrease in long-term
debt of approximately $249
million from the repayment of the Pacific credit facility and (iii) the amortization of
the discounts on the senior notes issued by Plains and premiums on the
fair value of Pacific senior notes assumed in the merger. The impact to interest expense of a
1/8% change
in interest rates would be approximately $1.6 million
per year. |
|
|
h. |
|
The pro forma adjustments to the statements of combined operations
have not been tax-effected as the effect on income tax expense is not deemed to be
material to the pro forma results of operations. |
Plains Earnings per Limited Partner Unit
Earnings per limited partner unit is determined by dividing net income after deducting the
amount allocated to the general partner interest, including its incentive distribution in excess of
its 2% interest, by the weighted average number of limited partner units outstanding during the
period. Plains general partner is entitled to receive incentive distributions if the amount it
distributes with respect to any quarter exceeds levels specified in its partnership agreement. Upon
closing of the merger, Plains general partner has agreed to reduce the amounts due it as
incentive distributions commencing with the earlier to occur of (i) the payment date of the first
quarterly distribution declared and paid after the closing date that equals or exceeds $0.80 per
unit or (ii) the payment date of the second quarterly distribution declared and paid after the
closing date. Such adjustment shall be as follows: (i) $5 million per quarter for the first four
quarters, (ii) $3.75 million per quarter for the next eight quarters, (iii) $2.5 million per
quarter for the next four quarters, and (iv) $1.25 million per quarter for the final four quarters.
The total reduction in incentive distributions will be $65 million.
F-9
The following sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per limited partner
unit for Plains on a historical and pro forma basis. The net income available to limited partners
and the weighted average limited partner units outstanding have been adjusted for instruments
considered common unit equivalents.

PRO FORMA SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
Certain of the pro forma adjustments incorporate Plains preliminary estimate of the fair
value of the business that Plains is acquiring. Preliminary estimates are that the excess of the
purchase price over the preliminary fair values (excess cost) may be assigned to non-amortizable
other intangible assets or goodwill as opposed to depreciable fixed assets or amortizable
intangible assets. Plains will obtain
a valuation of Pacifics assets and liabilities in order to develop a definitive allocation of the
purchase price. As a result, the final purchase price allocation may result in some amounts being
assigned to tangible or amortizable intangible assets, and this amount may ultimately be
depreciated or amortized (as appropriate) to earnings over the expected benefit period of the
asset. To the extent that any amount remains as goodwill or indefinite lived intangible assets,
this amount would not be subject to depreciation or amortization, but would be subject to periodic
impairment testing and, if necessary, would be written down to a lower fair value should
circumstances warrant.
The
table below shows the potential decrease in pro forma net income from
continuing operations
if certain amounts of the goodwill were ultimately assigned to tangible or amortizable intangible
assets. For purposes of calculating this sensitivity, Plains has applied the straight-line method
of cost allocation over an estimated useful life of 29 years to various fair values. The decrease
in annual basic earnings per unit is predicated on the basic earnings per unit determined using the
pro forma income from continuing operations amount. The resulting pro forma adjustments are as
follows (in millions, except per unit amounts):

PACIFIC ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2006
(Unaudited)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the Partnership) are
engaged principally in the business of gathering, transporting, storing and distributing crude oil,
refined products and other related products. The Partnership generates revenue primarily by
transporting such commodities on its pipelines, by leasing storage capacity in its storage tanks,
and by providing other terminaling services. The Partnership also buys and sells crude oil,
activities that are generally complementary to its other crude oil operations. The Partnership
conducts its business through two business units, the West Coast Business Unit, which includes
activities in California and the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area, and the Rocky Mountain Business
Unit, which includes activities in five Rocky Mountain states and Alberta, Canada.
The Partnership is managed by its general partner, Pacific Energy GP, LP, a Delaware limited
partnership, which is managed by its general partner, Pacific Energy Management LLC (PEM), a
Delaware limited liability company. Thus, the officers and board of directors of PEM manage the
business affairs of Pacific Energy GP, LP and the Partnership. References to the General Partner
refer to Pacific Energy GP, LP and/or PEM, as the context indicates; and Board of Directors
refers to the board of directors of PEM.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial
reporting and with Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) regulations. Accordingly, these
statements have been condensed and do not include all of the information and footnotes required for
complete financial statements. These statements involve the use of estimates and judgments where
appropriate. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals
considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. The results of operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
for the full year. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated
during the consolidation process.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the ownership and results of
operations of the assets acquired from Valero, L.P., since the acquisition of these assets on
September 30, 2005. The assets acquired from Valero, L.P. have been integrated into our West Coast
and Rocky Mountain Business Units as Pacific Atlantic Terminals and the Rocky Mountain Products
Pipeline.
These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnerships audited
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnerships annual report on
Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005. Certain prior year balances in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the
current year presentation.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised December 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R).
This Statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting
for
6
transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. SFAS 123R
is effective for the Partnership as of the beginning of the first interim period or annual
reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. The adoption of SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 did
not have a material impact on the Partnerships consolidated financial statements. See Notes 5 and
7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more details on share-based compensation.
In September 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued Issue No. 04-13 (EITF
04-13), Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty. The issues
addressed by the EITF are (i) the circumstances under which two or more exchange transactions
involving inventory with the same counterparty should be viewed as a single exchange transaction
for the purposes of evaluating the effect of APB No. 29; and (ii) whether there are circumstances
under which nonmonetary exchanges of inventory within the same line of business should be
recognized at fair value. EITF 04-13 is effective for new arrangements entered into in the
reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006, and to all inventory transactions that are
completed after December 15, 2006, for arrangements entered into prior to March 15, 2006. The
adoption of EITF 04-13 did not have a material impact on the Partnerships consolidated financial
statements.
In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement
attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or
expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition,
classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition.
FIN 48 will apply to the Partnerships Canadian subsidiaries, which are taxable entities in Canada.
The Partnership is in the process of determining the impact of FIN 48 on its financial statements,
but does not expect it to have a material impact. FIN 48 is effective for the Partnership as of the
beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2007.
In June 2006, the EITF issued Issue No. 06-3 (EITF 06-3), How Taxes Collected from Customers
and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is,
Gross versus Net Presentation). The issues addressed by the EITF are (i) whether the scope of this
Issue should include (a) all nondiscretionary amounts assessed by governmental authorities, (b) all
nondiscretionary amounts assessed by governmental authorities in connection with a transaction with
a customer, or (c) only sales, use, and value added taxes, and (ii) how taxes assessed by a
governmental authority within the scope of this issue should be presented in the income statement
(that is, gross versus net presentation). EITF 06-3 is effective for interim and annual financial
periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The Partnership is in the process of determining the
impact of EITF 06-3 on its financial statements, but does not expect it to have a material impact.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value in generally accepted accounting principles, and expands disclosures about fair value
measurements. SFAS 157 applies under other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair
value measurements in those accounting pronouncements. Accordingly, SFAS 157 does not require any
new fair value measurements. However, the Partnership is in the process of determing what impact
the application of SFAS 157 will have on its current fair value practices. The Partnership does not
expect the application of SFAS 157 to have a material impact. SFAS 157 is effective for financial
statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007.
In September 2006, the Securities and Exchange Commission issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No.
108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current
year Financial Statements (SAB 108), which provides interpretive guidance on how the effects of
the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current
year misstatement. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2006 and
it allows a one-time
7
transitional cumulative effect adjustment to beginning-of-year retained earnings at the first
fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006 for errors that were not previously deemed material, but
are material under the guidance in SAB 108. The Partnership is currently evaluating the impact, if
any, of adopting SAB 108 on its consolidated financial statements.
2. PROPOSED MERGER WITH PLAINS ALL AMERICAN PIPELINE, L.P.
On June 12, 2006, the Partnership announced that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of
Merger with Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (PAA), Plains AAP, L.P., Plains All American GP
LLC (PAA GP LLC), PEM, and Pacific Energy GP, LP, pursuant to which the Partnership will be
merged with and into PAA. In the merger, each common unitholder of the Partnership, except LB
Pacific, LP (LB Pacific), the owner of the Partnerships General Partner, will receive 0.77
common units of PAA for each common unit of the Partnership that the unitholder owns. In addition,
pursuant to a purchase agreement between LB Pacific and PAA, PAA will acquire from LB Pacific the
general partner interest and incentive distribution rights of the Partnership, as well as 5,232,500
common units and 5,232,500 subordinated units, for total consideration of $700 million in cash. The
merger agreement was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of PEM, as well as by the board
of directors of PAAs general partner.
Each of the Partnership and PAA made customary representations, warranties and covenants in
the merger agreement, which are described in the joint proxy statement/prospectus filed by the
Partnership and PAA with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). The merger is subject
to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including the receipt of various regulatory
approvals or the expiration of various regulatory waiting periods, all of which approvals or
waiting periods have been obtained, and the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the
merger by the holders of at least a majority of the Partnerships outstanding common units
(excluding common units held by LB Pacific) and outstanding subordinated units, each voting as a
separate class. The merger agreement and the merger must also be adopted and approved by the
holders of at least a majority of PAAs outstanding common units.
The Partnerships and PAAs special meetings of unitholders to consider the merger agreement
and the merger are scheduled to occur on November 9, 2006. Although the Partnership and PAA cannot
be sure when all of the conditions to the merger will be satisfied, the parties expect to complete
the merger on November 15, 2006 (assuming the proposals are approved by the unitholders and all
other conditions to closing are satisfied).
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Partnership incurred
approximately $1.1 million and $4.5 million, respectively, in costs directly relating to the merger
for investment banking fees, legal fees and other transaction costs. Approximately $0.7 million of
investment banking fees were paid to affiliates of Lehman Brothers Inc., an affiliate of the
General Partner (see Note 5Related Party Transactions). These costs are included in the
condensed consolidated statements of income under the caption Merger costs.
3. INCOME TAXES
The Partnership and its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries are not taxable entities in the U.S.
and are not subject to U.S. federal or state income taxes, as the tax effect of operations is
passed through to its unitholders. However, the Partnerships Canadian subsidiaries are taxable
entities in Canada and are subject to Canadian federal and provincial income taxes. In addition,
inter-company interest payments and repatriation of funds through dividend payments are subject to
withholding tax.
Income taxes for the Partnerships Canadian subsidiaries are accounted for under the asset and
liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing
8
assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and tax credit
carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to
apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be
recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is
recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The Partnership intends to
repatriate its Canadian subsidiaries earnings in the future and accordingly has recorded a
provision for Canadian withholding taxes.
In the second quarter of 2006, the Canadian and Alberta governments enacted legislation which
will reduce federal and provincial income taxes. The Partnership adjusted the future income tax
rates used in the estimates of deferred tax assets and liabilities and recognized a $4.6 million
deferred tax benefit in the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
4. NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNER UNIT
Net income is allocated to the Partnerships General Partner and limited partners based on
their respective interests in the Partnership. The Partnerships General Partner is also directly
charged with specific costs that it has individually assumed and for which the limited partners are
not responsible.
Basic net income per limited partner unit is determined by dividing net income, after adding
back costs and deducting certain amounts allocated to the General Partner (including incentive
distribution payments in excess of its 2% ownership interest), by the weighted average number of
outstanding limited partner units.
Diluted net income per limited partner unit is calculated in the same manner as basic net
income per limited partner unit above, except that the weighted average number of outstanding
limited partner units is increased to include the dilutive effect of outstanding options, if any,
and restricted units by application of the treasury stock method.
9
Set forth below is the computation of net income allocated to limited partners and net
income per basic and diluted limited partner unit. The table also shows the reconciliation of basic
average limited partner units to diluted weighted average limited partner units.

5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Cost Reimbursements
Managing General Partner: The Partnerships General Partner employs all U.S.-based
employees. All employee expenses incurred by the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership are
charged back to the Partnership.
LB Pacific, LP Option Plan: LB Pacific, LP (LB Pacific), the owner of the Partnerships
General Partner, has adopted an option plan for certain officers, directors, employees, advisors,
and consultants of PEM, LB Pacific, and their affiliates. Under the plan, participants may be
granted options to acquire partnership interests in LB Pacific. The Partnership is not obligated to
pay any amounts to LB Pacific for the benefits granted or paid to any participants under the plan,
although generally accepted accounting principles require that the Partnership record an expense in
its financial statements for benefits granted to employees of PEM or the Partnership who provide
services to the Partnership, with a corresponding increase in the General Partners capital
account.
10
The option plan is administered by the board of directors of LB Pacific GP, LLC, the general
partner of LB Pacific. The terms, conditions, performance goals, restrictions, limitations,
forfeiture, vesting or exercise schedule, and other provisions of grants under the plan, as well as
eligibility to participate, are determined by the board of directors of LB Pacific GP, LLC. The
board of directors of LB Pacific GP, LLC may determine to grant options under the plan to
participants containing such terms as the board of LB Pacific GP, LLC shall determine. Options will
have an exercise price that may not be less than the fair market value of the units on the date of
grant.
Information concerning the plan and grants is shared by LB Pacific, LP with the General
Partners Compensation Committee and Board of Directors, and considered in determining the long
term incentive compensation paid by the Partnership to participants in the plan.
In January 2006, LB Pacific granted options representing a maximum 24% interest in LB Pacific
(assuming all options vest and are exercised), which options vest over a period of 10 years from
the date of grant (except in limited circumstances such as a change in control), to certain
officers and key employees of PEM and the Partnership. The grants, qualified as equity-classified
awards, had a grant date fair value of $8.6 million. The fair value of the options was determined
using valuation techniques that included the discounted present value of estimated future cash
flows for LB Pacific and fundamental analysis. It was measured using the Black-Scholes option
pricing model with the following assumptions:
|
|
|
|
|
Expected volatility |
|
|
21.86 |
% |
Expected dividend yield |
|
|
0 |
% |
Expected term (in years) |
|
|
10 |
|
Risk-free rate |
|
|
4.37 |
% |
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, the Partnership recognized $0.4
million and $1.3 million in compensation expense relating to the LB Pacific options and recorded a
capital contribution from the General Partner for the same amounts. At September 30, 2006, all
granted LB Pacific options remained outstanding. At September 30, 2006, there was $7.3 million of
total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options granted under the plan, which
cost was expected to be recognized over the remaining period of 9.25 years. Upon the close of the
proposed merger with PAA, the options will become immediately exercisable. Total unrecognized
compensation expense on the closing date will be immediately recognized in the income statement.
LB Pacific, LP and Anschutz: Prior to March 3, 2005, the General Partner was owned by The
Anschutz Corporation (Anschutz). On March 3, 2005, Anschutz sold its interest in the Partnership,
including its interest in the General Partner, to LB Pacific. In connection with the sale of
Anschutzs interest in the Partnership to LB Pacific, LB Pacific and Anschutz reimbursed the
Partnership for certain costs incurred in connection with the acquisition. The Partnership was
reimbursed $1.2 million for costs incurred in connection with the consent solicitation, $0.3
million of legal and other costs, and $0.9 million relating to severance costs, for a total of $2.4
million. Of the $2.4 million total incurred, $1.8 million was expensed, as shown on the income
statement as reimbursed general partner transaction costs, and $0.6 million of the consent
solicitation costs were capitalized as deferred financing costs.
Special Agreement: On March 3, 2005, Douglas L. Polson, previously the Chairman of the Board
of Directors, entered into a Special Agreement and a Consulting Agreement with PEM. In accordance
with the Special Agreement, Mr. Polson resigned as Chairman of the Board of Directors effective
March 3, 2005. Mr. Polson was paid approximately $0.9 million, representing accrued salary through
March 3, 2005, accrued but unused vacation, and payment in satisfaction of other obligations under
his employment agreement. The latter portion of this payment was recorded as an expense in
Reimbursed general partner transaction costs in the accompanying condensed consolidated income
statements. LB Pacific reimbursed this amount, which was recorded as a partners capital
contribution. Pursuant to the Consulting
11
Agreement, Mr. Polson agreed to perform advisory services to PEM from time to time as mutually
agreed between Mr. Polson and the Chief Executive Officer of PEM. In consideration for Mr. Polsons
services under the Consulting Agreement, which had a one-year term, Mr. Polson received a monthly
consulting fee of $12,500 and reimbursement of all reasonable business expenses incurred or paid by
Mr. Polson in the course of performing his duties thereunder.
Lehman Brothers, Inc.
Lehman Brothers, Inc. is deemed to be an affiliate of the Partnerships General Partner
through a 59% ownership interest in LB Pacific, which is controlled by Lehman Brothers Holdings
Inc., the parent entity of Lehman Brothers, Inc. Lehman Brothers, Inc. acted as financial advisor
to LB Pacific and the Partnership in connection with the proposed merger and the transactions
related to the merger (see Note 2Proposed Merger With Plains All American, L.P.). As part of its
services, Lehman Brothers, Inc. delivered an opinion to the Board of Directors to the effect that,
as of the date of its opinion and based on and subject to various assumptions made, the aggregate
consideration to be offered to all of the holders of the partnership interests in the Partnership
in the proposed merger transaction is fair to such holders. The agreement with Lehman Brothers,
Inc. was reviewed and approved by the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors and the fees
charged were customary for the type of services provided. The Partnership incurred $0.7 million in
fees with Lehman Brothers, Inc. for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, none of which was
incurred in the three months ended September 30, 2006. The Partnership has agreed to pay Lehman
Brothers, Inc. an additional $7.7 million success fee contingent on the successful consummation of
the merger.
In connection with the purchase and the associated financing of the Partnerships purchase of
certain terminal and pipeline assets from Valero, L.P. in September 2005, including a private
equity offering, public equity offering, debt offering and new credit facility, Lehman Brothers,
Inc. and its affiliates provided advisory and underwriting services to the Partnership.
Additionally, an affiliate of Lehman Brothers, Inc. is a participant in the syndicate that provided
the Partnerships new senior secured credit facility. These agreements with Lehman Brothers, Inc.
were reviewed and approved by the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors and the fees
charged were customary for the types of services provided. For the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2005, the Partnership incurred $9.8 million in fees with Lehman Brothers, Inc. and
its affiliates, a portion of which was paid to non-affiliated financial institutions in the
syndication of the new credit facility and in the public offering of equity.
Other Related Party Transactions
RMPS receives an operating fee and management fee from Frontier Pipeline Company (Frontier)
in connection with time spent by RMPS management and for other services related to Frontiers
activities. RMPS received $0.2 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005 and $0.6 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The Partnership owns a 22.22% partnership interest in Frontier.
6. CONTINGENCIES
Line 63 Oil Release
In March 2005, a release of approximately 3,400 barrels of crude oil occurred on the
Partnerships Line 63 when it was severed as a result of a landslide caused by heavy rainfall in
the Pyramid Lake area of Los Angeles County. Over the period March 2005 through anticipated
completion in June 2007, the Partnership expects to incur an estimated total of $25.5 million for
oil containment and clean-up of the impacted areas, future monitoring costs, potential third-party
claims and penalties, and other costs, excluding pipeline repair costs. As of September 30, 2006,
the Partnership had incurred
12
approximately
22.3 million of the total expected remediation costs related to the oil release for
work performed through that date. The Partnership estimates that the $3.2 million of remaining
remediation cost will substantially be incurred before June 2007.
In March 2006, Pacific Pipeline System LLC (PPS), a subsidiary of the Partnership, was
served with a four count misdemeanor action by the state of California, which alleges that PPS
violated various state statutes by depositing oil or substances harmful to wildlife into the
environment and by the willful and intentional discharge of pollution into state waters. The
Partnership estimates that the maximum fine and penalties that could be assessed for these actions
is approximately $0.9 million in the aggregate. The Partnership believes, however, that certain of
the alleged violations are without merit and intends to defend against them, and that mitigating
factors should otherwise reduce the amounts of any potential fines or penalties that might be
assessed. At this time, the Partnership cannot reasonably determine the outcome of these
allegations. The estimated range of possible fines or penalties including amounts not covered by
insurance is between $0 and $0.9 million.
The Partnership has a pollution liability insurance policy with a $2.0 million per-occurrence
deductible that covers containment and clean-up costs, third-party claims and certain penalties.
The insurance carrier has, subject to the terms of the insurance policy, acknowledged coverage of
the incident and is processing and paying invoices related to the clean-up. The Partnership
believes that, subject to the $2.0 million deductible, it will be entitled to recover substantially
all of its clean-up costs and any third-party claims associated with the release. As of September
30, 2006, the Partnership has recovered $18.6 million from insurance and recorded net receivables
of $4.6 million for future insurance recoveries it deems probable.
The foregoing estimates are based on facts known at the time of estimation and the
Partnerships assessment of the ultimate outcome. Among the many uncertainties that impact the
estimates are the necessary regulatory approvals for, and potential modification of, remediation
plans, the ongoing assessment of the impact of soil and water contamination, changes in costs
associated with environmental remediation services and equipment, and the possibility of
third-party legal claims giving rise to additional expenses. Therefore, no assurance can be made
that costs incurred in excess of this provision, if any, would not have a material adverse effect
on the Partnerships financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, though the
Partnership believes that most, if not all, of any such excess cost, to the extent attributable to
clean-up and third-party claims, would be recoverable through insurance. In March 2006, A.M. Best
Company, an insurance company rating agency, announced it had downgraded the financial strength
rating assigned to the Partnerships insurance carrier, Quanta Specialty Lines Company, including
its parent and affiliates. The downgrade was from an A to a B++, under review with negative
implications. During the second quarter of 2006, Quanta announced that their Board of Directors
decided to cease underwriting or seeking new business and to place most of its remaining specialty
insurance and reinsurance lines into orderly run-off. On June 7, 2006 A. M. Best further downgraded
Quanta from B++ to B. Subsequent to this downgrading, Quanta was removed from A. M. Bests
interactive rating process, at Quantas request. Based on managements further analysis of Quantas
financial condition, the Partnership believes that Quanta will continue to meet its obligations
relating to the Line 63 oil release, although there can be no assurance that this will be the case.
As new information becomes available in future periods, the Partnership may change its provision
and recovery estimates.
Product Contamination
In June 2006, approximately 44,000 barrels of a customers product at our Martinez terminal
was contaminated. The Partnership has insurance coverage for the damage or loss of its customers
products while in its care, custody and control at certain of its terminals subject to a $0.1
million per-occurrence deductible. The Partnership recognized a loss of $0.2 million to cover the
insurance deductible and other associated costs. At this time, the Partnership believes costs
related to the contamination of the property will be covered under the insurance policy, and has
accrued an estimated $1.1 million in total costs, which
13
is included in Other current liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance
sheet. The Partnership has recorded a receivable of $0.9 million for future insurance recoveries it
deems probable.
Litigation
On June 15, 2006, a lawsuit was filed in the Superior court of California, County of Los
Angeles, entitled Kosseff v. Pacific Energy, et al, case no. BC 3544016. The plaintiff alleged that
he was a unitholder of the Partnership and he sought to represent a class comprising all of the
Partnerships unitholders. The complaint named as defendants the Partnership and certain of the
officers and directors of the Partnerships general partner, and asserted claims of self-dealing
and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the pending merger with PAA and related
transactions. The plaintiff sought injunctive relief against completing the merger or, if the
merger was completed, rescission of the merger, other equitable relief, and recovery of the
plaintiffs costs and attorneys fees. On September 14, 2006, the Partnership and the other
defendants entered into a memorandum of settlement with the plaintiff to settle the lawsuit. As
part of the settlement, the Partnership and the other defendants deny all allegations of wrongdoing
and maintain that they are willing to settle the lawsuit solely because the settlement would
eliminate the burden and expense of further litigation. The settlement is subject to customary
conditions, including court approval. As part of the settlement, the Partnership will, subject to
the consummation of the merger, pay $475,000 to the plaintiffs counsel for their fees and
expenses, and incur approximately $0.1 to $0.2 million for costs of mailing materials to
unitholders. If finally approved by the court, the settlement will resolve all claims that were or
could have been brought on behalf of the proposed settlement class in the actions being settled,
including all claims relating to the merger, the merger agreement and any disclosure made by the
Partnership in connection with the merger. The settlement will not change any of the terms or
conditions of the merger. The Partnership will record the settlement amount and associated costs
upon completion of the merger.
In August, 2005, Rangeland Pipeline Company (RPC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Partnership, learned that a Statement of Claim was filed by Desiree Meier and Robert Meier in the
Alberta Court of Queens Bench, Judicial District of Red Deer, naming RPC as defendant, and
alleging personal injury and property damage caused by an alleged release of petroleum substances
onto plaintiffs land by a prior owner and operator of the pipeline that is currently owned and
operated by the Partnership. The claim seeks Cdn$1 million (approximately U.S.$0.9 million at
September 30, 2006) in general damages, Cdn$2 million (approximately U.S.$1.8 million at September
30, 2006) in special damages, and, in addition, unspecified amounts for punitive, exemplary and
aggravated damages, costs and interest. RPC believes the claim is without merit, and intends to
vigorously defend against it. RPC also believes that certain of the claims, if successfully proven
by the plaintiffs, would be liabilities retained by the pipelines prior owner under the terms of
the agreement whereby the Partnership acquired the pipeline in question.
In connection with the acquisition of assets from Valero, L.P. in September 2005, the
Partnership assumed responsibility for the defense of a lawsuit filed in 2003 against Support
Terminals Services, Inc. (ST Services) by ExxonMobil Corporation (ExxonMobil) in New Jersey
state court. The Partnership has also assumed any liability that might be imposed on ST Services as
a result of the suit. In the suit, ExxonMobil seeks reimbursement of approximately $400,000 for
remediation costs it has incurred, from GATX Corporation, Kinder Morgan Liquid Terminals, the
successor in interest to GATX Terminals Corporation, and ST Services. ExxonMobil also seeks a
ruling imposing liability for any future remediation and related liabilities on the same
defendants. These costs are associated with the Paulsboro, New Jersey terminal that was acquired by
the Partnership on September 30, 2005. ExxonMobil claims that the costs and future remediation
requirements are related to releases at the site subsequent to its sale of the terminal to GATX in
1990 and that, therefore, any remaining remediation requirements are the responsibility of GATX
Corporation, Kinder Morgan and ST Services. The Partnership believes the claims against ST Services
are without merit, and intends to vigorously defend against them.

In 2001, Big West Oil Company and Chevron Products Company (the Complainants) filed
complaints against Frontier Pipeline Company (Frontier) with the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) challenging rates contained in joint tariffs in which Frontier was a
participating carrier and rates contained in local tariffs filed by Frontier. On February 18, 2004,
the FERC found against Frontier on certain of the Complainants claims and ordered Frontier to pay
reparations to Complainants in the aggregate amount of approximately $4.2 million, plus interest,
which Frontier paid in August 2004. On October 5, 2004, Frontier filed a petition for review of the
FERCs reparations orders in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and on May 26, 2006
the Court of Appeals held that the FERCs reparation ruling was inconsistent with applicable law,
and thus vacated the FERCs order and remanded the matter back to the FERC for further
consideration consistent with the Court of Appeals decision. On July 25, 2006, Frontier filed a
motion asking the FERC to dismiss the reparations complaints of the Complainants on the grounds
that their complaints fail to state claims that can be sustained consistent with the ruling of the
Court of Appeals. Frontiers motion also asked the FERC to order the refund by the Complainants of
the reparations previously paid by Frontier, plus interest. The Complainants have, in a response to
Frontiers motion, asserted for various reasons that the FERC should essentially reinstate its
original ruling that ordered Frontier to pay reparations to the Complainants. No action on the
motions has been taken by the FERC. If Frontier prevails on its motion or in any remand proceeding
conducted by the FERC, it would be entitled to repayment in the amount of $5.4 million, plus
interest thereon from August 23, 2004. The Partnership owns 22.22% of Frontier. Although the
Partnership believes Frontiers motion to dismiss the complaints, as well as the defenses it would
assert in a remand proceeding before the FERC, are meritorious, the Partnership cannot predict the
outcome of any such actions, and has not recorded any amount for this contingency.
The Partnership is involved in various other regulatory disputes, litigation and claims
arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. The Partnership is not currently a
party to any legal or regulatory proceedings the resolution of which could be expected to have a
material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
7. RESTRICTED UNITS
A restricted unit is a phantom unit under the Partnerships long term incentive compensation
plan. A phantom unit entitles the grantee to receive a common unit upon the vesting of the phantom
unit. The Partnership intends the issuance of the restricted units under the plan to serve as a
means of incentive compensation for performance and not primarily as an opportunity to participate
in the equity appreciation of the common units. Therefore, plan participants will not pay any
consideration for the common units they receive, and the Partnership will receive no remuneration
for such units.
15
In January 2006 and May 2006, the General Partner awarded 89,110 restricted units to key
employees and outside directors that vest over a three-year period, beginning on March 1, 2006 and
March 1, 2007, respectively. The number of units to be delivered to key employees in any year, if
any, will be based on accomplishment of performance targets (measured by distributable cash flow)
for the previous calendar year, subject to the Compensation Committees authority to subsequently
adjust performance targets as it may deem appropriate, in its discretion. Restricted unit activity
during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 is as follows:

Compensation expense recognized for outstanding restricted units is based on grant date
fair value of the common units to be awarded to the grantee upon vesting of the phantom unit,
adjusted for the expected target performance level for each year. For the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2006, the Partnership incurred $0.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in
compensation expense for restricted units it deemed probable of achieving the performance criteria,
including the amount for the first vesting of these awards which occurred on March 1, 2006.
The outstanding unit grants include change of control provisions that require immediate
vesting of units in the event of a change in control of the Partnership or its General Partner.
Upon the close of the proposed merger with PAA, all outstanding restricted units will immediately
vest pursuant to the terms of the grants, and any remaining unamortized compensation expense will
be immediately recognized.
On March 3, 2005, in connection with LB Pacifics acquisition of the Partnerships General
Partner, all restricted units then outstanding under the Partnerships Long-Term Incentive Plan
immediately vested pursuant to the terms of the grants. The Partnership issued 99,583 common units
and recognized a compensation expense of $3.1 million, which is included in Accelerated long-term
incentive plan compensation expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of
income. Of the total $3.1 million, the compensation expense categorization was $0.6 million for
operating personnel and $2.5 million for general and administrative personnel.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Board of Directors of Pacific Energy Management LLC and
Unitholders of Pacific Energy Partners, L.P.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Pacific Energy Partners, L.P.
and subsidiaries, as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the related consolidated statements of
income, partners capital, comprehensive income, and cash flows for each of the years in the
three-year period ended December 31, 2005. These consolidated financial statements are the
responsibility of Pacific Energy Partners, L.P.s management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. and subsidiaries as of
December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2005, in conformity with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States), the effectiveness of Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. and
subsidiaries internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2005, based on criteria
established in Internal ControlIntegrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated March 10, 2006 expressed an
unqualified opinion on managements assessment of, and the effective operation of, internal control
over financial reporting.

PACIFIC ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Organization
Pacific Energy Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, was formed in February 2002 and
completed its initial public offering of common units representing limited partner units on July
26, 2002. Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. and its subsidiaries (collectively the Partnership) are
engaged principally in the business of gathering, transporting, storing and distributing crude oil,
refined products and other related products. The Partnership generates revenue primarily by
transporting such commodities on its pipelines, by leasing storage capacity in its storage tanks,
and by providing other terminaling services. The Partnership also buys and sells crude oil,
activities that are generally complementary to its other crude oil operations. The Partnership
conducts its business through two business units, the West Coast Business Unit, which includes
activities in California and the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area, and the Rocky Mountain Business
Unit, which includes activities in five Rocky Mountain states and Alberta, Canada.
The Partnership is managed by its general partner, Pacific Energy GP, LP, a Delaware limited
partnership (the General Partner), which, prior to its conversion to a limited partnership on
March 3, 2005, was Pacific Energy GP, Inc., a corporation owned 100% by a subsidiary of The
Anschutz Corporation (Anschutz). On March 3, 2005, Anschutz sold all of its interest in Pacific
Energy GP, Inc. to LB Pacific, LP (LBP), which was formed by the Lehman Brothers Merchant Banking
Group (LBMB) in connection with the purchase (see Note 8Related Party Transactions). Pacific
Energy GP, LP is managed by its general partner, Pacific Energy Management LLC (PEM), a Delaware
limited liability company, thus the officers and Board of Directors of PEM manage the business
affairs of the Partnership and its General Partner. The Partnerships General Partner does not
receive any management fee or other compensation in connection with its management of the
Partnerships business, but is entitled to reimbursement for all direct and indirect expenses
incurred on the Partnerships behalf.
The Partnership holds a 100% ownership interest in Pacific Energy Group LLC (PEG), whose
100% owned subsidiaries consist of:
|
(i) |
|
Pacific Pipeline System LLC (PPS), owner of Line 2000 and the Line 63 system; |
|
|
(ii) |

Business Segment Reporting
The business segments of the Partnership consist of two geographic regions, the West Coast and
the Rocky Mountains. The West Coast Business Unit includes PPS, PT, PAT and PMT. The Rocky Mountain
Business Unit includes RMPS, RPL and PEG Canada and its Canadian subsidiaries RPC, Aurora, RNPC,
RMC and Rangeland Partnership. Information relating to these two segments is summarized in Note
20Segment Information.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements and related notes present the Partnerships (including
all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries) consolidated financial position as of December 31, 2005 and
2004, and the consolidated results of the Partnerships operations, cash flows, changes in
partners capital and comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.
All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated during the
consolidation process. Certain reclassifications were made to prior periods to conform to the
current period presentation. Investments in affiliates, over which the Partnership has significant
influence, are accounted for by the equity method.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management Estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America requires that management make certain estimates and
assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities
and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date as well as the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The actual results could
differ significantly from those estimates.
The Partnerships most significant estimates involve the valuation of individual assets
acquired in purchase transactions, the useful lives of property and equipment, the expected costs
of environmental remediation, accounting for the potential impact of regulatory proceedings or
other actions with shippers on the Partnerships pipelines, and the valuation of inventory.
F-9
Revenue Recognition
Revenue from pipeline transportation services is recognized upon delivery of the product to
the customer. Other revenue associated with the operation of the Partnerships pipelines is
recognized as the services are performed.
Storage and distribution revenue is recognized monthly based on the lease of storage tanks,
the use of distribution system assets, and the delivery of related incidental services.
The Rangeland system is a proprietary system. Therefore, customers who wish to transport
commodities on the Rangeland system must either: (i) sell commodities at the inlet to the pipeline
without repurchasing commodities; or (ii) sell commodities at an inlet point and repurchase such
product at agreed-upon delivery points for the price paid at the inlet to the pipeline plus an
established location differential on a pre-arranged basis. Revenue from buy/sell transactions is
recognized on a net basis. Revenue is recognized when the commodity is delivered to the customer.
PMTs crude oil sales are recognized as the crude oil is delivered to customers, and are
reflected separately, net of crude oil purchases, on the accompanying consolidated statements of
income.
Regulation
The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) regulates PPSs common carrier crude oil
pipeline operations. All shipments on the regulated pipelines are governed by tariffs authorized
and approved by the CPUC. Tariffs on the Line 2000 pipeline are market-based, established based on
market considerations, subject to contractual terms. Tariffs on the Line 63 pipeline are
cost-of-service based, designed to allow PPS to recover its various costs to operate and maintain
the pipeline as well as a charge for depreciation of the capital investment in the pipeline and an
authorized rate of return.
The CPUC also regulates PTs storage and distribution operations. The CPUC has authorized PT
to establish the terms, conditions and charges for its storage and distribution services through
negotiated contracts with its customers.
The West and East Coast products terminals are not regulated utilities, nor is the PMT
gathering system, which is a proprietary intrastate operation.
The Western Corridor and Salt Lake City Core systems are common carrier pipelines that
transport oil under cost-based tariffs under the jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission (FERC) and the Wyoming Public Service Commission (WPSC). The Rocky Mountain Products
Pipeline that was acquired as part of the Valero Acquisition is a common carrier system that
transports products under market-based FERC tariffs, except for one FERC regulated cost-based
segment, and under cost-based tariffs under the jurisdiction of the states of Wyoming and Colorado.
The Rangeland system operates as a proprietary system, and accordingly the Partnership takes
title to the crude oil that is gathered and transported. The Rangeland system is subject to the
jurisdiction of the Alberta Energy and Utilities Board (EUB). The Aurora pipeline is subject to
the jurisdiction of the Canadian National Energy Board (NEB). The EUB and NEB will generally not
review rates set by a crude oil pipeline operator unless it receives a complaint.
Concentration of Customers and Credit Risk
A substantial portion of the West Coast transportation and storage business in 2005, 2004 and
2003 was with four customers who individually accounted for more that 10% of West Coast
transportation and storage revenue. Collectively, these four customers accounted for approximately
60%, 73% and 76% of total West Coast transportation and storage revenue in 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively. Two of these customers, Chevron and Shell Trading Company, who collectively accounted
for approximately 32%, 46% and 47% of 2005, 2004 and 2003 transportation and storage revenue,
respectively, have
F-10
executed ten-year ship or pay transportation agreements expiring in 2009 whereby they have
committed to ship minimum volumes that represent approximately 61% of their actual 2005 volumes
transported on the Partnerships West Coast pipelines.
A substantial portion of the Partnerships Rocky Mountain pipeline transportation and storage
business in 2005, 2004 and 2003 was with two customers who individually accounted for more that 10%
of Rocky Mountain transportation revenue. Collectively, these two customers accounted for
approximately 36%, 40% and 50% of total Rocky Mountain transportation revenue in 2005, 2004 and
2003, respectively. In addition, for the Partnerships Canadian buy/sell transportation revenue, in
2005 three customers accounted for 50% of the Partnerships Canadian net sales revenue and in 2004
two customers accounted for approximately 60% of the Partnerships Canadian net sales revenue. In
2005, three suppliers accounted for 58% of the Partnerships Canadian net purchase contracts and in
2004 one supplier accounted for 66% of the Partnerships Canadian net purchase contracts. Each of
these customers and suppliers individually accounted for more that 10% of the Partnerships
Canadian buy/sell transportation revenue and net purchase contracts.
Although the above concentration could affect the Partnerships overall exposure to credit
risk, management believes that the risk is minimal given that a majority of its business is
conducted with large, high credit quality companies within the industry. The Partnership performs
periodic credit evaluations of its customers financial condition and generally does not require
collateral for its accounts receivables. In some cases, the Partnership requires payment in advance
or security in the form of a letter of credit or bank guarantee.
Cash Equivalents
For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Partnership considers all
highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.
Accounts Receivable
Crude oil sales receivable relate to the Partnerships gathering and marketing activities. The
Partnerships gathering and marketing activities can generally be described as high volume and low
margin activities. Transportation and storage accounts receivable are from shippers who transport
crude on our pipelines and customers who lease our storage capacity. The Partnership makes a
determination of the amount, if any, of credit to be extended to any given customer and the form
and amount of financial performance assurances required. Such financial assurances are commonly
provided in the form of standby letters of credit. The Partnership also monitors changes in the
creditworthiness of its customers as a result of developments related to each customer, the
industry as a whole and the general economy.
The Partnership routinely reviews its accounts receivable balances to identify past due
amounts and analyze the reasons such amounts have not been collected. In many instances, such
delays involve billing discrepancies or disputes as to the appropriate price, volumes or quality of
crude oil delivered or
exchanged. The Partnership has an insignificant amount for allowances for doubtful accounts as of
December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003.
Crude Oil and Refined Products Inventories
Crude oil and refined products inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market with cost
determined using an average cost method. The inventory balance is subject to downward adjustment if
prices decline below the carrying value of the inventory.
F-11
Property and Equipment
The components of property and equipment are capitalized at cost and depreciated using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
Pipelines |
|
40 years |
Tanks |
|
40 years |
Station and pumping equipment |
|
10-20 years |
Buildings |
|
20-30 years |
Other |
|
3-15 years |
In accordance with our capitalization policy, costs associated with acquisitions and
improvements, including related interest costs, which expand our existing capacity are capitalized.
For the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and 2003, capitalized interest was $1.1 million,
$0.4 million, and $0.1 million, respectively. In addition, costs incurred to extend the useful
lives of assets are capitalized. Repair and maintenance expenditures associated with existing
assets that do not extend the useful life or expand the operating capacity are charged to expense
as incurred.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. This review consists of a comparison
of the carrying value of the asset with the assets expected future undiscounted cash flows.
Estimates of expected future cash flows represent managements best estimate based on reasonable
and supportable assumptions and projections. If the expected future cash flows exceed the carrying
value of the asset, no impairment is recognized. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the
expected future cash flows, impairment exists and is measured by the excess of the carrying value
over the estimated fair value of the asset. Any impairment provisions are permanent and may not be
restored in the future. The Partnership recorded impairment expense of $0.5 million and $0.8
million associated with idle Pacific Terminals property in 2005 and 2004, respectively.
Asset Retirement Obligations
The Partnership has determined that it is obligated by contractual or regulatory requirements
to remove facilities or perform remediation upon retirement of certain of its assets. However, the
Partnership is not able to reasonably determine the fair value of the asset retirement obligations
for its pipelines and storage tanks, since the range of future dismantlement and removal dates are
indeterminate.
In order to determine a removal date for the Partnerships gathering lines and related surface
assets, reserve information regarding the production life of the specific field is required. The
Partnership is not a producer of the oil field reserves, and therefore does not have access to
adequate forecasts that predict the timing of expected production for existing reserves on those
fields in which the Partnership gathers crude oil. In the absence of such information, the
Partnership is not able to make a reasonable estimate of when the dismantlement and removal of its
gathering assets will be required. With regard to the Partnerships trunk and interstate pipelines
and their related surface assets, it is not possible to predict when demand for transportation of
the related products will cease. The Partnerships right-of-way agreements allow it to maintain the
right-of-way rather than remove the pipe. In addition, the Partnership believes its trunk pipelines
can be put into alternative uses.
The Partnership will record such asset retirement obligations in the period in which
sufficient information becomes available for it to reasonably estimate the settlement date and
amount of its retirement obligations.
F-12
Investment in Frontier
The Partnerships 22% investment in Frontier is accounted for using the equity method of
accounting. Under the equity method, an investment is initially recorded at cost and subsequently
adjusted to recognize the investors share of distributions and net income or losses of the
investee as they occur. Recognition of any such losses is generally limited to the extent of the
investors investment in, advances to, and commitments and guarantees for the investee.
Deferred Financing Costs
Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of long-term debt are capitalized and amortized
using the effective interest method. Costs incurred in connection with the issuance and amendments
to our credit facilities are capitalized and amortized using the straight line methods over the
term of the related facility. Unamortized debt issue costs may be written-off in conjunction with
the refinancing or termination of the applicable debt arrangement prior to its scheduled maturity.
We capitalized $7.9 million and $5.9 million of such costs in 2005 and 2004, respectively. In
addition, during 2004 we wrote off $2.3 million of unamortized costs relating to the early
termination of debt.
Environmental Liabilities
The Partnership accrues environmental remediation costs for work at identified sites where an
assessment has indicated that cleanup costs are probable in the future and can be reasonably
estimated. To the extent environmental liabilities are assumed in acquisitions, the Partnership
records an estimate of such costs at the date of acquisition. These accruals are undiscounted and
are based on information currently available, existing technology, the estimated timing of remedial
actions and related inflation assumptions and enacted laws and regulations. The Partnership
monitors the balance of accrued undiscounted environmental liabilities on a regular basis and may
make adjustments to the initial estimates recorded, from time to time, to reflect changing
circumstances.
Income Taxes
The Partnership and its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries are not taxable entities in the U.S.
and are not subject to U.S. federal or state income taxes, as the tax effect of operations is
passed through to its unitholders. The Partnerships Canadian subsidiaries are taxable entities in Canada and are subject
to Canadian federal and provincial income taxes and other Canadian income taxes. In addition,
monies repatriated by the Partnership from Canada into the U.S. may subject the Partnership to
withholding taxes.
Net income for financial statement purposes may differ significantly from taxable income
reportable to unitholders as a result of differences between the tax bases and financial reporting
bases of assets and liabilities and the taxable income allocation requirements under the
Partnerships First Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended. Individual
unitholders have different investment bases depending upon the timing and price of their
acquisition of partnership units. Further, each unitholders tax accounting, which is partially
dependent upon the unitholders tax position, differs from the accounting followed in the
consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the aggregate difference in the basis of the
Partnerships net assets for financial and tax reporting purposes cannot be readily determined
because information regarding each unitholders tax attributes in the Partnership is not available
to the Partnership.
In addition to federal and state income taxes, unitholders may be subject to other taxes, such
as local, estate, inheritance or intangible taxes which may be imposed by the various jurisdictions
in which the Partnership does business or owns property. Individual unitholders generally have no
responsibility to file Canadian tax returns.
F-13
Income taxes for the Partnerships Canadian subsidiaries are accounted for under the asset and
liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the
future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying
amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases, and operating loss and
tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates
expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected
to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and
liabilities is recognized in operations in the period that includes the enactment date. The
Partnership intends to repatriate its Canadian subsidiaries earnings in the future and accordingly
has recorded a provision for Canadian withholding taxes.
Derivative Instruments
The Partnership uses certain derivative instruments to hedge its exposure to commodity price,
interest rate and foreign exchange rate risks. The Partnership records all derivative instruments
on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities measured at their fair value under the
provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended. SFAS 133 requires that changes in the
fair value of derivative instruments be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge
accounting criteria are met, in which case changes in fair value are deferred to accumulated other
comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings when the underlying transaction affects
earnings. Accordingly, changes in fair value are included in the current period for (i) derivatives
characterized as fair value hedges, (ii) derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting and
(iii) the portion of cash flow hedges that are not highly effective in offsetting changes in cash
flows of hedged items. (See Note 16Derivative Financial Instruments for further discussion).
The Partnership formally documents at inception the hedging relationship and its risk
management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, the hedging instrument used, the
nature of the risk being hedged, how the hedging instruments effectiveness in offsetting the
hedged risk will be assessed and the method of measuring such ineffectiveness. On a continuing
basis, the Partnership assesses whether the derivative instruments that are used as hedges are
highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or
cash flows that are being hedged. If it is determined that a derivative instrument ceases to be a
highly effective hedge, then the Partnership will discontinue hedge accounting prospectively.
Foreign Currency Translation
The financial statements of operating subsidiaries in Canada are prepared using the Canadian
dollar as the functional currency. Balance sheet amounts are translated at the end of period
exchange rate. Income statement and cash flow amounts are translated at the average exchange rate
for the period. Adjustments from translating these financial statements into U.S. dollars are
recognized in the equity section of the balance sheet under the caption, accumulated other
comprehensive income.
Net Income per Unit
Basic net income per limited partner unit is determined by dividing net income, after
deducting the amount allocated to the general partner interest, by the weighted average number of
outstanding limited partner units.
Diluted net income per limited partner unit is calculated in the same manner as basic net
income per limited partner unit above, except that the weighted average number of outstanding
limited partner units is increased to include the dilutive effect of outstanding options and
restricted units by application
F-14
of the treasury stock method. Following is a reconciliation of the basic weighted average limited
partner units to diluted weighted average limited partner units.

Allocation of Net Income
Net income is allocated to the Partnerships general partner and limited partners based on
their respective interests in the Partnership. The Partnerships general partner has also been
directly charged with specific costs that it assumed in connection with its acquisition by LBP and
for which neither the Partnership nor the limited partners are responsible (see Note 17Allocation
of Net Income).
Restricted Units and Unit Options
As permitted under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123),
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, the Partnership elected to measure costs for restricted
units and unit options using the intrinsic value method, as prescribed by Accounting Principles
Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees. Compensation expense related to
the restricted units is recognized by the Partnership over the vesting periods of the units.
Accordingly, the compensation expense related to the restricted units that is allocable to the
current reporting period has been recognized in the accompanying consolidated statements of income,
and non-cash employee compensation related to the long-term incentive plan is included in
undistributed employee long-term incentive compensation in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheets. No compensation expense related to the unit options has been recognized in the accompanying
consolidated financial statements. Had the Partnership determined compensation cost based on the
fair value at the grant date for its unit options under SFAS 123, Accounting for Stock-Based
Compensation, net income would have been reduced less than $0.1 million in each of 2005, 2004 and
2003 and the effect on earnings per limited partner unit would have been less than $0.01 per
limited partner unit in each of 2005, 2004 and 2003.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised December 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS 123R).
This Statement is a revision of SFAS No. 123. SFAS 123R establishes standards for the accounting
for transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. SFAS
123R is effective for the Partnership as of the beginning of the first interim period or annual
reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005. There were no stock options or restricted stock
units outstanding as of December 31, 2005 (see Note 18Long-Term Incentive Plan). The Partnership
will adopt SFAS 123R on January 1, 2006 for future grants.
In December 2004, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 153,
Exchanges of Nonmonetary Assets (SFAS 153). SFAS 153 addresses the measurement of exchanges of
certain nonmonetary assets (except for certain exchanges of products or property held for sale in
the ordinary course of business). It amends APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary
Exchanges, and requires that nonmonetary exchanges be accounted for at the fair value of the assets
exchanged, with gains or losses being recognized, if the fair value is determinable within
reasonable limits and the
F-15
transaction has commercial substance, as defined in SFAS 153. The Partnership adopted SFAS 153 on
July 1, 2005, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements.
On March 30, 2005 the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset
Retirement Obligations(FIN 47), to clarify the term conditional asset retirement obligation as
that term is used in FASB Statement No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. The
Interpretation also clarifies when an entity has sufficient information to reasonably estimate the
fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 was effective for us as of December 31, 2005.
The adoption of FIN 47 did not have a material impact on the Partnerships financial statements.
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting
Changes and Error Corrections (SFAS 154). SFAS 154 replaces APB No. 20, Accounting Changes, and
FASB Statement No. 3, Reporting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. The Statement changes the
accounting for, and reporting of, a change in accounting principle. SFAS 154 requires retrospective
application to prior periods financial statements of voluntary changes in accounting principle and
changes required by new accounting standards when the standard does not include specific transition
provisions, unless it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and
corrections of errors in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. If required, the
Partnership will apply the provisions of SFAS 154 in future periods.
In September 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued Issue No. 04-13 (EITF
04-13), Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty. The issues
addressed by the EITF are (i) the circumstances under which two or more exchange transactions
involving inventory with the same counterparty should be viewed as a single exchange transaction
for the purposes of evaluating the effect of APB No. 29; and (ii) whether there are circumstances
under which nonmonetary exchanges of inventory within the same line of business should be
recognized at fair value. EITF 04-13 is effective for new arrangements entered into in the
reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006, and to all inventory transactions that are
completed after December 15, 2006, for arrangements entered into prior to March 15, 2006. The
Partnership is in the process of determining the impact of EITF 04-13 on its financial statements,
but does not expect it to have a material impact on its financial statements.
3. ACQUISITIONS
Acquisition Of Assets From Valero, L.P.
On September 30, 2005, the Partnership completed the purchase of certain terminal and pipeline
assets from various subsidiaries of Valero, L.P. (the Sellers) for an aggregate purchase price of
$455.0 million, plus $11.5 million for the assumption of certain legal, environmental and operating
liabilities and $3.7 million for closing costs (the Valero Acquisition). Valero, L.P. was
required to divest these assets pursuant to an order from the Federal Trade Commission in
connection with its acquisition of the Kaneb group of companies. The purchased assets consist of
(i) the Martinez and Richmond terminals in the San Francisco, California area, (ii) the North
Philadelphia, South Philadelphia and Paulsboro, New Jersey, terminals in the Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania area, and (iii) a 550-mile refined products pipeline with four terminals in the U.S.
Rocky Mountains (the Valero Assets). The Valero Acquisition was funded through a combination of
the proceeds from a private placement of 4.3 million common units, a public equity offering of 5.2
million common units, a private placement of $175 million of senior unsecured notes, and borrowings
under the Partnerships new revolving credit facility (See Note 9Long-term Debt and Note
15Partners Capital for further discussion on these financing arrangements).
The Martinez and Richmond terminals currently have 4.1 million barrels of combined storage
capacity. The terminals handle refined products, blend stocks and crude oil, and are connected to a
network of owned and third-party pipelines that carry crude oil and light products to and from area
F-16
refineries. These terminals also receive and deliver crude oil and light products by marine vessel
or barge. The Richmond terminal has a rail spur for delivery and receipt of light products and a
truck rack for product delivery.
The North Philadelphia, South Philadelphia and Paulsboro terminals handle refined products and
have a combined storage capacity of 3.1 million barrels. The terminals receive product via
connections to third party pipelines and have truck racks for deliveries. The North Philadelphia
and Paulsboro terminals can also deliver and receive products by marine vessel or barge.
The 550-mile Rocky Mountain Products Pipeline, formerly known as the West Pipeline System,
consists of 550 miles of pipeline extending from Casper, Wyoming, east to Rapid City, South Dakota,
and south to Colorado Springs, Colorado. There are products terminals at Rapid City, South Dakota,
Cheyenne, Wyoming, and Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado, with a combined storage capacity of
1.7 million barrels. The pipeline system has various segments with different receipt and delivery
points.
The majority of the Rocky Mountain Products Pipeline was constructed in 1948, with extensions
to Rapid City and Colorado Springs added in the 1960s. The South Philadelphia Terminal was
constructed in 1938, the Richmond and Paulsboro terminals were constructed in 1953, and the
Martinez and North Philadelphia terminals were constructed in 1973. Many improvements and facility
additions have been made since the original startup of the operations. Additional tankage has been
constructed and pipeline system and terminal improvements have been made over the years since their
initial startup.
The Partnership has integrated the operations, maintenance, marketing and business development
of the Rocky Mountain Products Pipeline with its existing pipeline activities in the Rocky Mountain
Business Unit. It has similarly integrated the San Francisco area and Philadelphia area terminals
with its existing pipeline and terminal activities in its West Coast Business Unit.
The Partnership did not acquire accounting software or hardware with the acquired assets. The
Partnership has acquired and is implementing software associated with the complex task of
volumetric and revenue accounting for the acquired assets, and uses its existing financial
accounting software for other accounting functions. In addition, the Partnership did not acquire
the pipeline control center or the software and other operating systems required for the Rocky
Mountain Products Pipeline, and has installed new operating systems that are now being operated out
of its Long Beach pipeline control center. The Seller agreed to provide all of these accounting,
control center and operating services to the Partnership on a transition basis.
The acquired assets comprise only a portion of the total pipeline and terminal assets owned
and operated by the Sellers in North America. The Sellers have other substantial pipeline and
terminal assets that the Partnership did not acquire that are, or have been, operated and managed
by the Sellers existing management team and operating and marketing staff. The acquired assets
were not historically operated by the Sellers as a separate division or subsidiary. The Sellers,
and prior to its merger with Valero, L.P., Kaneb Pipeline Partners, L.P. (Kaneb), operated these
assets as part of its more extensive transportation and terminaling and refined products
operations. As a result, neither the Sellers nor Kaneb maintained complete and separate financial
statements for these assets as an independent business unit. The Partnership is making significant
changes to the assets, and intends additional changes in the future, resulting in significant
differences in operations and revenue generation. Additionally, differences in the Partnerships
operating and marketing approach may result in it obtaining different productivity levels, results
of operations and revenues than those historically achieved by the Sellers and Kaneb.
At the closing of the acquisition, the Partnership hired 76 of the Sellers employees directly
involved in the operation of the acquired assets, including certain field level managerial and
supervisory employees, operators, technicians, and engineers/project coordinators. The Partnership
has hired
F-17
additional accounting, environmental, engineering, pipeline controllers and technical staff to
support the acquired assets.
The acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition of assets, and not as an acquisition of a
continuing business operation.
The consolidated statements of income include the results of the acquired assets from their
acquisition date. Based upon independent appraisals of the fair values of the acquired assets, the

The Partnership is depreciating the purchased assets over their estimated useful lives of
three to forty years based on the type of assets, which lives are similar to the Partnerships
existing assets. Intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives, which range
from 15 to 40 years.
Purchase Of Crude Oil and Contracts
On July 1, 2005, Pacific Marketing and Transportation LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Partnership, purchased certain crude oil contracts and crude oil inventories for approximately $3.8
million plus contingent payments over the next three and one-half years based on specified
performance criteria. The Partnership will capitalize any such contingent payments as intangible
assets and amortize them over three years.
Canadian Acquisitions
On May 11, 2004, the Partnership completed the acquisition of all of the outstanding shares of
Rangeland Pipeline Company (RPC), Rangeland Marketing Company (RMC) and Aurora Pipeline Company
Ltd. (Aurora), the corporations that owned various components of the Rangeland system and the
related marketing business from BP Canada Energy Company (BP). The Rangeland system is located in
the province of Alberta, Canada. The purchase price for the shares of these companies was Cdn$130.1
million plus approximately Cdn$32.2 million for assumed liabilities, linefill, working capital and
transaction costs. The aggregate purchase price was approximately U.S. $118.1 million and was
funded through a combination of proceeds from the Partnerships March 30, 2004 equity offering and
borrowings of Cdn$45 million. The acquisition was accounted for as an acquisition of assets.
On June 30, 2004, the Partnership completed the acquisition of the MAPL pipeline from Imperial
Oil. The MAPL pipeline is located in Alberta, Canada, and connects with the Rangeland pipeline
system. The purchase price for MAPL was Cdn$31.5 million, of which Cdn$5.0 million is payable June
30, 2007. In
addition to the MAPL pipeline, the Partnership acquired linefill for Cdn$5.0 million. The aggregate
purchase price, including assumed liabilities, linefill and transaction costs was approximately
U.S. $27.0 million, most of which was funded from the Partnerships credit facility.

Following the acquisition, the MAPL pipeline assets were integrated into and are now operated as
part of the Rangeland system.

Pacific Terminals Storage and Distribution System
On July 31, 2003, PT completed the acquisition of the storage and pipeline distribution system
assets of Edison Pipeline and Terminal Company, a division of Southern California Edison Company.
The PT storage and distribution system is used by the Partnership to serve the crude oil and other
dark products storage and distribution needs of the refining, pipeline, and marine terminal
industries in the Los Angeles Basin. The purchase was funded through $90.0 million of proceeds from
the issuance of additional common units on August 25, 2003, and borrowings under the Partnerships
revolving credit facility, and was treated as an asset purchase. Based upon independent appraisals

4. LINE 63 OIL RELEASE RESERVE
On March 23, 2005, a release of approximately 3,400 barrels of crude oil occurred on Line 63
when it was severed as a result of a landslide induced by heavy rainfall in the Pyramid Lake area
of Los Angeles County. Over the period March 2005 through anticipated completion in June 2007, the
Partnership expects to incur an estimated total of $25.6 million for oil containment and clean-up
of the impacted areas, future monitoring costs, potential third-party claims and penalties, and
other costs, excluding pipeline repair costs. As of December 31, 2005, the Partnership had incurred
approximately $19.0 million of the total expected remediation costs related to the oil release for
work performed through that date. The Partnership estimates that $4.4 million of the remaining
remediation costs will be incurred in 2006 and $2.2 million (included in Other liabilities in the
accompanying balance sheet) will be incurred in 2007. Additionally, in 2005 the Partnership
expensed $0.7 million for the repair of Line 63 and incurred $2.2 million of Line 63 capital
improvements.
The Partnership has a pollution liability insurance policy with a $2.0 million per-occurrence
deductible that covers containment and clean-up costs, third-party claims and penalties. The
insurance carrier has, subject to the terms of the insurance policy, acknowledged coverage of the
incident and is processing and paying invoices related to the clean-up. The Partnership believes
that, subject to the $2.0 million deductible, it will be entitled to recover substantially all of
its clean-up costs and any third-party claims associated with the release. The Partnerships
insurance coverage will not cover the cost to repair the pipeline. As of December 31, 2005, the
Partnership has recovered $12.3 million from insurance and recorded receivables of $11.3 million
for future insurance recoveries it deems probable, of which $2.2 million is considered long-term
and is included in Other assets, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The Partnership recorded $2.0 million in net costs in Line 63 oil release costs in the
accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2005. The
$2.0 million net oil release costs consist of the $25.6 million of accrued costs relating to the
release, net of insurance recovery of $12.3 million and accrued insurance receipts of $11.3
million.
Effective August 1, 2005, with the California Public Utilities Commission (the CPUC)
approval, the Partnership began collecting a temporary surcharge of $0.10 per barrel on its Line 63
long-haul tariff rates to recover its uninsured costs relating to this release together with other
costs incurred or to be incurred as a result of problems caused by rain-related earth movement and
stream erosion. The Partnership was required under the terms of the CPUC decision that approved the
collection of the surcharge, to substantiate in subsequent advice letter filings with the CPUC that
the actual costs incurred by the Partnership were necessary and reasonable and otherwise
recoverable. The Partnership filed its advice letter on January 27, 2006, which was approved by the
CPUC on February 22, 2006.
The foregoing estimates are based on facts known at the time of estimation and the
Partnerships assessment of the ultimate outcome. Among the many uncertainties that impact the
estimates are the necessary regulatory approvals for, and potential modification of, remediation
plans, the ongoing assessment of the impact of soil and water contamination, changes in costs
associated with environmental remediation services and equipment, and the possibility of
third-party legal claims giving rise to additional expenses. Therefore, no assurance can be made
that costs incurred in excess of this provision, if any, would not have a material adverse effect
on the Partnerships financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, though the
Partnership believes that most, if not all, of any such excess cost, to the extent attributable to
clean-up and third-party claims, would be recoverable through insurance. As new information becomes
available in future periods, the Partnership may change its provision and recovery estimates.

6. INTANGIBLE ASSETS
SFAS 142 requires that intangible assets with finite useful lives be amortized over their
respective estimated useful lives. If an intangible asset has a finite useful life, but the precise
length of that life is not known, that intangible asset shall be amortized over the best estimate
of its useful life. The Partnership assesses the useful lives of all intangible assets each
reporting period to determine if adjustments are required. All of the Partnerships intangibles
have finite lives and are amortized on a straight line basis over the expected lives of the
intangibles. The weighted average expected life of intangibles at December 31, 2005 and 2004 was
approximately 31.0 years and 38.5 years, respectively. Amortization expense on amortizable
intangible assets was $2.0 million, $0.8 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31,
2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively. Intangible assets included in the accompanying balance sheet

The unamortized portion of the excess cost over the Partnerships share of net assets of
Frontier was $6.2 million and $6.3 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. This excess
cost over the Partnerships share of net assets represents the difference between the historical
cost and the fair
F-22
value of property and equipment at acquisition dates. The Partnership is amortizing this
excess cost over the life of the related property and equipment.
8. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Sale of The Anschutz Corporations Interest in the Partnership
On March 3, 2005, Anschutz sold all of its interest in Pacific Energy GP, Inc. to LBP, which
was formed by LBMB in connection with the purchase. The acquisition by LBP (the LB Acquisition)
included the 100% ownership interest in Pacific Energy GP, Inc., which owned (i) the 2% general
partner interest in the Partnership and the incentive distribution rights, and (ii) 10,465,000
subordinated units of the Partnership which represented a then 34.6% limited partner interest in
the Partnership. Immediately prior to the closing of the LB Acquisition, Pacific Energy GP, Inc.
was converted to Pacific Energy GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company; and immediately
after the closing of the LB Acquisition, Pacific Energy GP, LLC was converted to Pacific Energy GP,
LP (the General Partner). Immediately following the consummation of the LB Acquisition, the
General Partner distributed the 10,465,000 subordinated units of the Partnership to LBP.
In connection with the conversion of the Partnerships General Partner to a limited
partnership, the General Partner ceased to have a board of directors, and is now managed by its
general partner, Pacific Energy Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (PEM or the
Managing General Partner), which is 100% owned by LBP. PEM has a board of directors (the Board
of Directors or Board) that manages the business and affairs of PEM and, thus, indirectly
manages the business and affairs of the General Partner and the Partnership. All of the officers
and employees of Pacific Energy GP, Inc. were transferred to fill the same positions with PEM, and
the PEM Board established the same committees as had been maintained by Pacific Energy GP, Inc.
prior to the LB Acquisition. PEM also adopted Pacific Energy GP, Inc.s governance guidelines and
its compensation structure and employee benefits plans and policies.
Additionally, on March 21, 2005, an affiliate of First Reserve Corporation (First Reserve)
acquired from LBMB a 30% partnership interest in LBP. LBMB and its affiliates continue to own a 70%
partnership interest in LBP.
Lehman Brothers, Inc.
In connection with the purchase and associated financing of the Valero Acquisition including a
private equity offering, public equity offering, senior notes offering and new credit facility,
Lehman Brothers, Inc. and its affiliates provided advisory and underwriting services to the
Partnership. Additionally, an affiliate of Lehman Brothers, Inc. was a participant in the syndicate
that provided the Partnerships new senior secured credit facility. These agreements with Lehman
Brothers, Inc. were reviewed and approved by the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors and
the fees charged were customary for the types of services provided. For the period from March 3,
2005 through December 31, 2005, the Partnership incurred $9.9 million in fees with Lehman Brothers,
Inc. and its affiliates, a portion of which was paid to non-affiliated financial institutions in
the syndication of the New Credit Facility and in the public offering of equity.
Cost Reimbursements
Managing General Partner: The Partnerships Managing General Partner employs all U.S.-based
employees. All employee expenses incurred by the Managing General Partner on behalf of the
Partnership are charged back to the Partnership.
Special Agreement: On March 3, 2005, Douglas L. Polson, previously the Chairman of the
Board of Directors of Pacific Energy GP, Inc., entered into a Special Agreement and a Consulting
Agreement
F-23
with PEM. In accordance with the Special Agreement, Mr. Polson resigned as Chairman of the Board of
Directors of Pacific Energy GP, Inc. effective March 3, 2005. Mr. Polson was paid approximately
$0.9 million, representing accrued salary through March 3, 2005, accrued but unused vacation and
payment in satisfaction of other obligations under his employment agreement. The latter portion of
this payment was recorded as an expense in Transaction costs in the accompanying condensed
consolidated income statements (see Note 17Allocation of Net Income). LBP reimbursed this
amount, which was recorded as a partners capital contribution. Pursuant to the Consulting
Agreement, Mr. Polson has agreed to perform advisory services to PEM from time to time as shall be
mutually agreed between Mr. Polson and the Chief Executive Officer of PEM. In consideration for Mr.
Polsons services under the Consulting Agreement, which has a one-year term, Mr. Polson receives a
monthly consulting fee of $12,500 and reimbursement of all reasonable business expenses incurred or
paid by Mr. Polson in the course of performing his duties thereunder.
LBP and Anschutz: LBP and Anschutz reimbursed the Partnership for certain other costs
relating to the LB Acquisition. These included $1.2 million for the Consent Solicitation (as
defined and further described in Note 9Long-Term Debt, below) and $0.3 million for legal and
other expenses (also see Note 17Allocation of Net Income).

Revenue from Related Parties
A subsidiary of Anschutz was a shipper on Line 2000 and was charged the published tariff rates
applicable to participating shippers until March 31, 2003, when an agreement between the Anschutz
subsidiary and a third party, the performance of which required the Anschutz subsidiary to ship on
F-24
Line 2000, was assigned to the Partnership for consideration equal to the value of transferred
inventory. The agreement ended April 1, 2003. In addition, a subsidiary of Anschutz is a shipper on
pipelines owned by RMPS and is charged published tariff rates.
RMPS serves as the contract operator for certain gas producing properties owned by a
subsidiary of Anschutz in Wyoming and Utah, in exchange for which RMPS is reimbursed its direct
costs of operation and is paid an annual fee of $0.3 million as compensation for the time spent by
RMPS management and for other overhead services related to their activities. In addition, during
2003 and the first half of 2004, RMPSs trucking operation hauled water for a Anschutz subsidiary
at rates equivalent to those charged to third parties.
RMPS also receives a management fee from Frontier in connection with time spent by RMPS
management and for other services related to Frontiers pipelines activities. RMPS received $0.8
million, $0.9 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003,
respectively.
Expenses Paid to Related Parties
Pursuant to an easement agreement between PPS and Union Pacific Corporation (UPC), UPC
provides the Partnership with access to its right-of-way for a portion of Line 2000 in return for
an annual rental. Philip F. Anschutz, a director of the Partnerships General Partner until March
3, 2005, and sole stockholder of Anschutz Company, the indirect parent until March 3, 2005, of the
Partnerships General Partner, is a director of UPC.
From mid-2002 through December 31, 2005, the Partnership utilized a financial accounting
system owned and provided by Anschutz under a shared services arrangement. In addition, the
Partnership from time to time until mid-2003 utilized the services of Anschutzs risk management
personnel for acquiring the Partnerships insurance, and the Partnerships surety bonds were, until
2004, issued under Anschutzs bonding line. From January 2003 through December 31, 2005, Anschutz
charged the Partnership a fee of $0.1 million per year for these services and together with any
out-of-pocket costs. The fixed annual fee included all license, maintenance and employee costs
associated with our use of the financial accounting system.
In January 2003, the Partnership began leasing office space from an affiliate of Anschutz, for
a term of five years at an initial annual cost of $0.1 million. The lease was terminated in
February 2006.

$400 million Senior Secured Credit Facility
On September 30, 2005, the Partnership entered into a new five-year $400 million senior
secured revolving credit facility (the New Credit Facility) that replaced the Partnerships
previous U.S. and Canadian revolving credit facilities. The New Credit Facility is available for
general Partnership purposes in the U.S. and Canada, including working capital, letters of credit
and distributions to unitholders (subject to certain limitations). The New Credit Facility matures
on September 30, 2010, but the Partnership may prepay all loans under the New Credit Facility
without premium or penalty. Obligations under the New Credit Facility are guaranteed by all of the
subsidiaries of the Partnership except those for which regulatory approval is required and are
secured by substantially all of the assets of the Partnership, excluding property held by the
non-guaranteeing subsidiaries. The New Credit Facility is recourse to the Partnership and the
guarantors, but non-recourse to the General Partner.
Subject to certain limited exceptions, indebtedness under the New Credit Facility bears
interest (at the Partnerships option) at either (i) the base rate, which is equal to the higher of
the prime rate as
F-26
announced by Bank of America, N.A. or the Federal Funds rate plus 0.50% (or in the case of
borrowings under the Canadian sub-facility described below, Canadian US dollar base rate or
Canadian prime rate) each plus an applicable margin ranging from 0% to 0.75% or (ii) the Eurodollar
rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 0.75% to 2.00%. The applicable margins fluctuate based
on the Partnerships credit rating at any given time. In addition, the Partnership incurs a
commitment fee which ranges from 0.1875% to 0.5000% per annum on the unused portion of the New
Credit Facility.
Included in the New Credit Facility is a Canadian sub-facility for Rangeland Pipeline Company
(RPC), one of the Partnerships Canadian subsidiaries. The Canadian sub-facility currently has a
limit of U.S.$100 million, but can be adjusted from time to time by the Partnership. The Canadian
sub-facility includes an option for RPC to receive loans in either U.S. dollars or Canadian
dollars.
The New Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants and covenants limiting the
ability of the Partnership to, among other things, incur or guarantee indebtedness, change
ownership or structure, including mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions, sell or
transfer assets and properties, and enter into a new line of business. At December 31, 2005, the
Partnership was in compliance with all such covenants.
The Partnership provides certain suppliers with irrevocable standby letters of credit to
secure its obligation for the purchase of crude oil. These letters of credit are issued under the
Partnerships credit facility, and the liabilities with respect to these purchase obligations are
recorded in Accrued crude oil purchases on the Partnerships balance sheet in the month the crude
oil is purchased. Generally, these letters of credit are issued for up to sixty-day periods and are
terminated upon completion of each transaction. In addition, the Partnership provided a letter of
credit to the seller of the MAPL pipeline to secure a note payable. At December 31, 2005 and 2004,
The Partnership had outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $14.8 million and $4.2
million, respectively.
As of December 31, 2005, in addition to $14.8 million of letters of credit, $140.8 million was
outstanding under the New Credit Facility, including $55.8 million under the Canadian sub-facility,
and there was $125.5 million of undrawn available credit.
The New Credit Facility was entered into with a syndicate of financial institutions, including
an affiliate of Lehman Brothers, Inc., which is an affiliate of LBP (see Note 8Related Party
Transactions).
71/8% Senior Notes Due June 2014
On June 16, 2004, the Partnership and its 100% owned subsidiary, Pacific Energy Finance
Corporation, completed the sale of $250 million of 71/8% senior unsecured
notes due June 15, 2014. The notes were sold in a private offering to qualified institutional
buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 (the Securities Act) and to
non-U.S. persons under Regulation S of the Securities Act. In October 2004, the notes were
exchanged for new notes with materially identical terms that have been registered under the
Securities Act but are not listed on any securities exchange. The notes were issued at a discount
of $4.4 million, resulting in an effective interest rate of 7.375%. Interest payments are due on
June 15 and December 15 of each year. At any time prior to June 15, 2007, the Partnership has the
option to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of notes at a redemption price of
107.125% of the principal amount with the net cash proceeds of one or more
F-27
equity offerings. The Partnership has the option to redeem the notes, in whole or in part, at
anytime on or after June 15, 2009 at the following redemption prices:

|

|

|
The notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of the Partnerships subsidiaries,
namely Pacific Energy Group LLC, Pacific Marketing and Transportation LLC, Pacific Atlantic
Terminals LLC, Rocky Mountain Pipeline System LLC, Ranch Pipeline LLC, PEG Canada GP LLC and PEG
Canada, L.P.
The indenture governing the notes contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit
the Partnerships ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee
indebtedness or issue certain types of preferred equity securities; sell assets; pay distributions
on, redeem or repurchase Partnership units; or consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially
all of its assets. At December 31, 2005, the Partnership was in compliance with all such covenants.
Under the indenture governing the Partnerships 71/8% senior notes due
2014, the Partnership would have been required to make a Change of Control Offer to the holders
of such notes if the LB Acquisition caused a rating decline by a credit rating agency. In order to
avoid triggering the Change of Control Offer provision, the Partnership solicited the consent
(the Consent Solicitation) of the holders of the 71/8% notes to amend
certain provisions of the Indenture, including an amendment to the definition of Change of
Control. The Consent Solicitation was completed on February 10, 2005 with a majority of the
holders of the senior notes consenting to the adoption of the proposed amendments, and as such, the
proposed amendments were approved. Thereafter, a supplemental indenture that incorporated the
proposed amendments was executed by the parties to the indenture. Fees of $0.6 million paid to
holders of the notes were capitalized and included in Other assets, net in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2005 and are being amortized over the
remaining life of the 71/8% notes. Other solicitation-related fees and
expenses of approximately $0.6 million are included in Transaction costs in the accompanying
condensed consolidated statements of income. LBP and Anschutz reimbursed the Partnership for the
entire cost of the Consent Solicitation, which reimbursement is recorded as a general partners
capital contribution (see Note 8Related Party Transactions).
61/4% Senior Notes Due 2015
On September 23, 2005, the Partnership and its 100% owned subsidiary, Pacific Energy Finance
Corporation, completed the sale of $175 million of 61/4% senior unsecured
notes due September 15, 2015. The notes were sold in a private offering to qualified institutional
buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933 and to non-U.S. persons under
Regulation S of the Securities Act of 1933. In January 2006, the notes were exchanged for new notes
with materially identical terms that have been registered under the Securities Act but are not
listed on any securities exchange. The notes were sold for 99.544% of face value resulting in an
effective interest rate of 6.3125% to maturity. Interest payments are due on March 15 and September
15 of each year, beginning on March 15, 2006.
The notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by the same Partnership subsidiaries that
guarantee the 71/8% senior notes, due June 2014. At any time prior to
September 15, 2008, the Partnership has the option to redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal
amount of notes at a redemption price of 106.25% of the principal amount with the net cash proceeds
of one or more equity offerings. At any
F-28
time prior to September 15, 2010, the Partnership may redeem some or all of the notes at a price
equal to 100% of the principal amount, plus a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, to the date of redemption. The Partnership will also have the option to redeem the notes,
in whole or in part, at any time on or after September 15, 2010 at the following redemption prices:

The indenture governing the notes contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit
the Partnerships ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee
indebtedness or issue certain types of preferred equity securities; sell assets; pay distributions
on, redeem or repurchase Partnership units; or consolidate, merge or transfer all or substantially
all of its assets. At December 31, 2005, the Partnership was in compliance with all such covenants.
Net proceeds from the issuance of the notes were $170.9 million after deducting the $0.8
million discount and offering expenses of $3.3 million. The net proceeds were used to partially
fund the Valero Acquisition.
Future Payment for MAPL Assets
In connection with the purchase of the MAPL pipeline, the Partnership is obligated to pay the
seller Cdn$5.0 million (U.S.$4.3 million) on June 30, 2007. The future payment was discounted at
5%. The carrying value of the obligation was Cdn$4.4 million (U.S.$4.0 million) at December 31,
2005.
10. WRITE OFF OF DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS AND INTEREST RATE SWAP TERMINATION EXPENSE
On June 16, 2004, in connection with the repayment of a term loan, the Partnership had a $2.3
million non-cash write-off of deferred financing costs and incurred a $0.6 million cash expense to
terminate related interest rate swaps.
11. INCOME TAXES
In May 2004, the Partnership acquired the Rangeland Pipeline system (see Note
3Acquisitions). The Partnerships U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries are not taxable entities in the
U.S. and are not subject to U.S. federal or state income taxes as the tax effect of operations is
passed through to it unitholders. However, the Partnerships Canadian subsidiaries are taxable
entities in Canada and are subject to Canadian federal and provincial income taxes. In addition,
intercompany interest payments and repatriation of funds through dividends are subject to
withholding tax.

The Partnership has $2.9 million of net operating loss carryforwards, of which $2.3 million
will expire in the year 2014 and $0.6 million will expire in the year 2015. The Partnership
believes it is more likely than not that the net operating loss carryforwards will be utilized
prior to their expiration; therefore no valuation allowance is considered necessary.
12. ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES
The Partnership is subject to numerous federal (U.S. and Canadian), state, provincial and
local laws which regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate
to the protection of the environment. The following table presents the activity of the
Partnerships environmental liabilities.

The actual future costs for environmental remediation activities will depend on, among other
things, the identification of any additional sites, the determination of the extent of the
contamination at each site, the timing and nature of required remedial actions, the technology
available and required to meet the various existing legal requirements, the nature and extent of
future environmental laws, inflation rates and the determination of the Partnerships liability at
multi-party sites, if any, in light of uncertainties with respect to joint and several liability,
and the number, participation levels and financial viability of other potentially responsible
parties.

13. CONTINGENCIES
In August, 2005, Rangeland Pipeline Company (RPC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Partnership, learned that a Statement of Claim was filed by Desiree Meier and Robert Meier in the
Alberta Court of Queens Bench, Judicial District of Red Deer, naming RPC as defendant, and
alleging personal injury and property damage caused by an alleged release of petroleum substances
onto plaintiffs land by a prior owner and operator of the pipeline that is currently owned and
operated by the Partnership. The claim seeks Cdn$1 million (approximately U.S.$0.9 million at
December 31, 2005) in general damages, Cdn$2 million (approximately U.S.$1.7 million at December
31, 2005) in special damages, and, in addition, unspecified amounts for punitive, exemplary and
aggravated damages, costs and interest. The Statement of Claim has not been served on RPC, so RPC
has not been required to file an answer. RPC believes the claim is without merit, and intends to
vigorously defend against it. RPC also believes that certain of the claims, if successfully proven
by the plaintiffs, would be liabilities retained by the pipelines prior owner under the terms of
the agreement whereby the Partnership acquired the pipeline in question.
In connection with the Valero Acquisition, the Partnership assumed responsibility for the
defense of a lawsuit filed in 2003 against Support Terminals Services, Inc., (ST Services) by
ExxonMobil Corporation (ExxonMobil) in New Jersey state court. The Partnership has also assumed
any liability that might be imposed on ST Services as a result of the suit. In the suit, ExxonMobil
seeks reimbursement of approximately $400,000 for remediation costs it has incurred, from GATX
Corporation, Kinder Morgan Liquid Terminals, the successor in interest to GATX Terminals
Corporation, and ST Services. ExxonMobil also seeks a ruling imposing liability for any future
remediation and related liabilities on the same defendants. These costs are associated with the
Paulsboro, New Jersey terminal that was acquired by the Partnership on September 30, 2005.
ExxonMobil claims that the costs and future remediation requirements are related to releases at the
site subsequent to its sale of the terminal to GATX in 1990 and that, therefore, any remaining
remediation requirements are the responsibility of GATX Corporation, Kinder Morgan and ST Services.
The Partnership believes the claims against ST Services are without merit, and intend to vigorously
defend against them.
The Partnership is involved in various other regulatory disputes, litigation and claims
arising out of its operations in the normal course of business (see also Note 4Line 63 Oil
Release Reserve). The Partnership is not currently a party to any legal or regulatory proceedings
the resolution of which could be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business,
financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.
14. COMMITMENTS
Leases
The Partnership is obligated under several noncancelable operating leases, primarily for the
rental of office space, trucks and equipment, which expire through the year 2011. These leases
generally require the Partnership to pay all operating costs such as maintenance. Rental expense
for all operating leases during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 amounted to $1.9
million,
F-32
$1.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Future minimum rental payments under noncancelable
operating leases at December 31, 2005 are as follows (in thousands):

Right-of-Way Obligations
The Partnership has secured various rights-of-way for the pipeline systems under right-of-way
agreements that provide for annual payments to third parties. Right-of-way payments, which are
included in operating expenses, totaled $3.3 million, $3.4 million and $2.9 million in 2005, 2004
and 2003, respectively.
The Partnership operates under various right-of-way and franchise agreements, certain of which
expire at various times through at least 2035. Due to the nature of the Partnerships operations,
the Partnership expects to continue making payments and renewing the right-of-way agreements. As of
December 31, 2005, future minimum payments under the Partnerships right-of-way agreements of $4.0
million in 2006, between $4.5 million and $5.1 million annually in 2007 through 2010 and
approximately $67.3 million thereafter reflect the Partnerships commitment for the next 15 years,
assuming the current right-of-way agreements will be renewed during that period. The annual amounts
payable under various right-of-way agreements are subject to adjustments as described above as well
as for the effects of inflation, which is estimated at 5% per year.
15. PARTNERS CAPITAL
Common Units Outstanding
There were 31,448,931 common units outstanding at December 31, 2005, with the public
unitholders owning 28,832,681 units and LB Pacific, LP owning 2,616,250 units.
Subordinated Units and Conversion
All of the 7,848,750 subordinated units outstanding at December 31, 2005 were owned by LB
Pacific, LP. The purpose of the subordinated units is to increase the likelihood that during the
subordination period there will be available sufficient cash to pay the minimum quarterly
distribution on the common units. The subordination period will generally expire on the first day
of any quarter beginning after June 30, 2007 once certain financial tests are achieved. Prior to
the end of the subordination period, 50% of the subordinated units (25% in respect of each quarter
ending on or after June 30, 2005 and 2006) may convert into common units on a one-for-one basis. On
August 12, 2005, pursuant to the terms of the Partnerships partnership agreement, 25% or 2,616,250
subordinated units were converted to common units on a one-for-one basis.
F-33
General Partner Interest
The Partnerships General Partner holds a 2% interest in the Partnership and is required to
make additional capital contributions to the Partnership upon the issuance of any additional units,
if necessary, to maintain its capital account balance equal to 2% of the total capital accounts of
all partners.
Distributions
Within 45 days after the end of each quarter, the Partnership will distribute all of its
available cash, if any, to unitholders of record on the applicable date and to its General Partner.
Available cash is generally defined as all of the Partnerships cash and cash equivalents on hand
at the end of each quarter less reserves established by the General Partner for future
requirements. Cash distributions in each of the three years ended December 31, 2005 were as

In January 2006, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.555 per limited partner
unit for the fourth quarter of 2005, which was paid in February 2006 to unitholders of record as of
January 31, 2006.
The General Partner is entitled to incentive distributions in quarters when the limited
partner distribution exceeds $0.5125 per unit. The February 2006 distribution was the first
quarterly distribution to exceed $0.5125 per limited partner unit and, accordingly, the General
Partner received an incentive distribution of approximately $255,000 in addition to its 2% interest
distribution.

Net proceeds from the September 2005 offering were used to partially fund the Valero
Acquisition. Net proceeds from the March/April 2004 offering were used to partially fund the
Rangeland acquisition and to repay borrowings under the U.S. revolving credit facility. Proceeds
from the 2003 offering were used to repay indebtedness outstanding under PEGs revolving credit
facility, which had been incurred in
connection with the acquisition of PT storage and distribution system assets and to redeem
1,727,100 common units owned by the General Partner.
Private Equity Placement
On September 30, 2005, the Partnership sold 4,300,000 common units pursuant to a Common Unit
Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors at a price of $30.75 per unit. The
Partnership
F-34
received net proceeds of $131.8 million from the sale of the common units including the General
Partners contribution of $2.7 million, which were used to partially fund the Valero Acquisition.
Shelf Registration Statements
On December 23, 2005, the Partnership and certain subsidiaries filed a universal shelf
registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC to register the issuance and sale, from time to
time and in such amounts as is determined by the market conditions and needs of the Partnership, of
up to $1.0 billion of common units of the Partnership and debt securities of both the Partnership
and certain subsidiaries. The SEC declared the registration statement effective on January 12,
2006. In addition, we have $110 million available and remaining under our August 2003 universal
shelf registration statement.
16. DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Partnership uses derivative financial instruments primarily to reduce its exposure to
adverse fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. The
Partnership formally designates and documents such financial instrument as a hedge of a specific
underlying exposure, as well as the risk management objectives and strategies for undertaking the
hedge transactions. The Partnership formally assesses, both at the inception and at least quarterly
thereafter, whether the financial instruments that are used in hedging transactions are effective
at offsetting changes in either the fair value or cash flows of the related underlying exposure.
All of the Partnerships derivatives are commonly used over-the-counter instruments with liquid
markets or are traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The Partnership does not enter into
derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.
Commodity Price Risk Hedging
The Partnership uses derivative instruments (principally futures and options) to hedge its
exposure to market price volatility related to its inventory or future sales of crude oil.
Derivatives used to hedge market price volatility related to inventory are generally designated as
fair value hedges, and derivatives related to future sale of crude oil are generally classified as
cash flow hedges. Derivative instruments are included in other assets in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets.
Changes in the fair value of the Partnerships derivative instruments related to crude oil
inventory are recognized in net income. For the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003,
crude oil sales, net of purchases were net of $0.8 million, $2.7 million and $0.3 million in
losses, respectively, reflecting changes in the fair value of derivative instruments held as hedges
related to crude oil marketing activities. Losses on derivatives were generally offset by gains in
physical crude oil inventory positions. Changes in the fair value of the Partnerships derivative
instruments related to the future sale of crude oil, which are generally for one year or less, are
deferred and reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income, a component of partners
capital, until the related revenue is reflected in the consolidated statements of income. As of
December 31, 2005, a $0.1 million loss relating to the change in the fair value of highly effective
derivative instruments was included in accumulated other comprehensive income and is expected to
be reclassified to earnings in 2006. Since these amounts are based on market prices at the current
period end, actual amounts to be reclassified will differ and could vary materially as a result of
changes in market conditions. There were immaterial amounts of ineffectiveness associated with
crude oil hedging in 2005, 2004 and 2003, respectively.
Interest Rate Risk Hedging
In connection with the issuance of its 71/8% senior notes due 2014, the
Partnership entered into interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional principal amount
of $80.0 million to receive interest at a fixed rate of 71/8% and to pay
interest at an average variable rate of six month LIBOR
F-35
plus 1.6681% (set in advance or in arrears depending on the swap transaction). The interest rate
swaps mature in June 2014 and are callable at the same dates and terms as the
71/8% senior notes. The Partnership designated these swaps as a hedge of the
change in the Senior Notes fair value attributable to changes in the six month LIBOR interest rate.
Changes in fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded into earnings each period.
Similarly, changes in the fair value of the underlying $80.0 million of senior notes, which are
expected to be offsetting to changes in the fair value of the interest swaps, are recorded into
earnings each period. At December 31, 2005, the Partnership recorded an increase of $0.6 million in
the fair value of interest rate swaps. During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership
recognized reductions in interest expense of $1.3 million related to the difference between the
fixed rate and the floating rate of interest on the interest rate swaps. As of December 31, 2005
and 2004, the Partnership had immaterial amounts of hedge ineffectiveness relating to these
interest rate swaps.
In the third quarter of 2002, the Partnership entered into interest rate swap agreements that
were to mature in 2007 and 2009 with a notional amount of $170.0 million. The Partnership
designated these swaps as a hedge of its exposure to variability in future cash flows attributable
to the LIBOR interest payments due on $170.0 million outstanding under a term loan facility. The
average swap rate on this $170.0 million of debt was approximately 4.25%, resulting in an all-in
interest rate on the $170.0 million of debt of approximately 6.50%. In June 2004, in conjunction
with the issuance of the 71/8% Senior Notes and the repayment of the term
loan, the Partnership bought back the swaps for a loss of $0.6 million.
Currency Exchange Rate Risk Hedging
The purpose of the Partnerships foreign currency hedging activities is to reduce the risk
that the Partnerships cash inflows resulting from interest payments from its Canadian subsidiaries
on intercompany debt will be adversely affected by changes in the U.S./Canadian exchange rate.
The Partnership entered into forward exchange contracts to hedge receipt of forecasted
interest payments denominated in Canadian dollars. The effective portion of the change in fair
value of these contracts, which have been designated as a cash flow hedge, is reported in
Accumulated other comprehensive income and will be reclassified into earnings in Other income
in the period the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion, if any, of the
change in fair value of this instrument will be immediately recognized in earnings. These foreign
exchange contracts are as follows:

As of December 31, 2005, a $0.2 million loss relating to foreign exchange contracts was
deferred and included in accumulated other comprehensive income and is expected to be
reclassified into earnings in 2006. For the year ended December 31, 2005, no gains or losses were
recognized in the income statement for these foreign exchange contracts.
Credit Risks
By using derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures related to changes in commodity
prices, interest rates and currency exchange rates, the Partnership exposes itself to market risk
and credit risk. Market risk is the risk of loss arising from the adverse effect on the value of a
financial instrument that
results from changes in commodity prices, interest rates or currency exchange rates. The market
risk associated with price volatility is managed by established parameters that limit the types and
degree of market risk that may be undertaken.
F-36
Credit risk is the risk of loss arising from the failure of the derivative agreement
counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative agreement. When the fair value of a
derivative agreement is positive, the counterparty is liable to the Partnership, which creates
credit risk for the Partnership. When the fair value of a derivative agreement is negative, the
Partnership is liable to the counterparty and, therefore, it creates credit risk for the
counterparty. The counterparties the Partnership transacts with are large, well known companies in
the industry or large creditworthy financial institutions. As such, the Partnership believes its
exposure to counterparty credit risk is low. Nonetheless, there can be no assurance as to the
performance of a counterparty.

As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, the carrying amounts of items comprising current assets and
current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.
The carrying amounts of the revolving credit facilities approximate fair value primarily because
the interest rates fluctuate with prevailing market rates. The interest rates on the
71/8% senior notes due 2014 and the 61/4% senior notes
due 2015 are fixed and the fair value is determined from a brokers price quote at December 31,
2005.
The carrying amount of derivative financial instruments represents fair value as these
instruments are recorded on the balance sheet at their fair value under SFAS 133. The Partnerships
fair values of crude oil hedging futures are based on Reuters quoted market prices on the NYMEX.
Interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts fair values are based on the prevailing market
price at which the positions could be liquidated.

LBP and Anschutz reimbursed the Partnership for certain costs incurred in connection with the
LB Acquisition. The Partnership was reimbursed $1.2 million for costs incurred in connection with
the Consent Solicitation, $0.3 million of legal and other costs and $0.9 million relating to
severance costs (see Note
8Related Party Transactions), for a total of $2.4 million. Of the $1.2 million incurred for the
consent solicitation, $0.6 million was capitalized as deferred financing costs (and did not affect
the income allocation) and $0.6 million was expensed.
18. LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
In 2002, the General Partner adopted the Long-Term Incentive Plan (the Plan) for employees
and affiliates who perform services for the Partnership. The Plan consists of two components, a
restricted unit plan and a unit option plan. The Plan was amended in 2006. The Plan currently
permits the granting of an aggregate of 1,750,000 restricted units and unit options and is
administered by the Compensation Committee of the Managing General Partner, subject to approval by
the Managing General Partners Board of Directors. The Managing General Partners Board of
Directors in its discretion may terminate the Plan at any time with respect to any restricted units
for which a grant has not yet been made. The Managing General Partners Board of Directors also
reserves the right to alter or amend the Plan from time to time, including increasing the number of
common units with respect to which awards may be granted; provided, however, that no change in any
outstanding grant may be made which would materially impair the rights of the participant without
the consent of such participant. As the restricted units vest, the Managing General Partner has the
option to acquire common units in the open market for delivery to the recipient or distribute newly
issued common units from the Partnership. In all cases, the Managing General Partner is reimbursed
by the Partnership for such expenditures.

associated with these grants in 2005, 2004 and 2003.
On March 3, 2005, in connection with the LB Acquisition and the change in control of the
Partnerships General Partner, all restricted units outstanding under the Partnerships Long-Term
Incentive Plan immediately vested pursuant to the terms of the grants. The Partnership issued
99,583 common units and recognized a compensation expense of $3.1 million, which is included in
Accelerated long-term incentive plan compensation expense in the accompanying condensed
consolidated statements of income.
In addition, Canadian employees of the Partnership participate in a separate Phantom Unit
Plan, which upon vesting provides for payment in cash for the equivalent of the Partnerships unit
on the vesting date. In 2004, the General partner granted 15,000 phantom units to certain key
employees which were to vest over five years from the date of grant. These phantom units also
became immediately vested with the change in control of the Partnerships General Partner.
In December 2002, the General Partner granted 50,000 common unit options with a 10-year term.
The unit options were granted with an exercise price of $19.50 per unit, which was equal to the
fair market value at the date of grant and vested in 2003 and 2004. On July 8, 2005, these options
were exercised, 8,149 common units were withheld to cover withholding taxes and the Partnership
issued 41,851 new common units.
The Partnership applied APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and,
accordingly, no compensation expense was recognized for its unit options in the financial
statements.
In January 2006, the General Partner awarded restricted units to key employees that vest over
a three-year period, beginning on March 1, 2006, and that are also subject to meeting annual
financial performance objectives. The financial measure used is the Partnerships distributable
cash flow per unit, as determined by the Compensation Committee, for the calendar year preceding
each of the three annual vesting dates. The number of units to be delivered in any year, if any,
will be a portion of the number vested on March 1 of that year based on accomplishment of
performance targets for the previous calendar year. The Partnership will apply the accounting
treatment under FAS 123R to these restricted units awards beginning on January 1, 2006.

19. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
The General Partner sponsors a defined contribution 401(k) plan for its U.S. based employees
whereby eligible employees may contribute up to 18% of their annual compensation to the plan,
subject to certain defined limits. The General Partner matches employee contributions up to 6% to
12%, depending on years of service, of the employees annual compensation. Total employer
contributions to the plan were $1.0 million, $0.9 million and $1.0 million, for 2005, 2004 and 2003
respectively.
The Partnerships Canadian subsidiaries sponsor an employee savings plan (the Savings Plan)
and a defined contribution plan. Under the Savings Plan eligible employees may contribute a
percentage of their salary to the Savings Plan. The Partnerships Canadian subsidiaries provide
matching contributions between 1% and 6% depending on years of service. The defined contribution
plan requires the Canadian subsidiaries to make a contribution to a tax-deferred account
established in an employees name. Employee contributions to the defined contribution plan are not
required nor permitted. The Canadian subsidiaries make contributions of between 2% and 6% of an
employees annual compensation depending on years of service. Contributions are limited by the
Canada Customs and Revenue Agency to Cdn$18,000 in 2006 for any employee. Total employer
contributions to the plan for 2005 and 2004 were Cdn$0.4 million and Cdn$0.2 million.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Plains All American Pipeline Completes
Merger With Pacific Energy Partners
(Houston November 15, 2006) Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (NYSE: PAA) announced
today that it has successfully completed its merger with Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. (NYSE: PPX).
Effective November 15, 2006, Pacific Energy has been merged into Plains All American and the former
operating subsidiaries of Pacific Energy are now directly or indirectly owned by Plains All
American.
We intend to recommend that our board of directors increase the annual distribution rate of
the Partnership to $3.20 per unit effective with the next distribution in February 2007, said Greg
L. Armstrong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Plains All American. Armstrong noted that
effective with the declaration and payment in February 2007 of an annualized distribution of $3.20
per unit, PAAs general partner will reduce the incentive distributions it would otherwise receive
by $65 million in the aggregate over five years. The reduction will be equal to $20 million in 2007
and will increase PAAs cash flow in excess of distributions available to fund internal growth
projects.
Looking forward, we have developed a detailed integration plan for combining the two entities
and are focused on successfully executing that plan and capturing the anticipated benefits of the
transaction for our unitholders, said Armstrong.
Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. is engaged in interstate and intrastate crude oil
transportation and crude oil gathering, marketing, terminalling and storage, as well as the
marketing and storage of liquefied petroleum gas and other petroleum products, in the United States
and Canada. Through its 50% ownership in PAA/Vulcan Gas Storage LLC, the Partnership is engaged in
the development and operation of natural gas storage facilities. The Partnerships common units are
traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol PAA. The Partnership is headquartered in
Houston, Texas.
Forward Looking Statements
Certain statements made herein are forward-looking statements under the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. They include statements regarding the expected benefits of the
Pacific Energy merger, including future distribution increases and growth and incentive
distribution reductions. These statements are based on managements current expectations and
estimates; actual results may differ materially due to certain risks and uncertainties. These risks
and uncertainties include, among other things: our failure to successfully integrate the respective
business operations
