PACIFIC ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

March 31, 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.

        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 three months ended March 31, 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 the Pacific Atlantic Terminals and the Rocky Mountain Products Pipeline.

        These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K 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 transactions in which an entity exchanges its equity instruments for goods or services. SFAS 123R is

6


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 Partnership's consolidated financial statements. See Notes 3 and 5 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 Partnership's consolidated financial statements.

2.     NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNER UNIT

        Basic net income per limited partner unit is determined by dividing net income, after adding back costs allocated to the General Partner and deducting the amounts allocated to the General Partner interest (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 and restricted units by application of the treasury stock method.

        Net income is allocated to the Partnership's General Partner and limited partners based on their respective interest in the Partnership. The Partnership's General Partner is also directly charged with specific costs that it has individually assumed and for which the limited partners are not responsible.

        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.

See "Note 3—Related Party Transactions" for a description of costs reimbursed by the General Partner.

3.     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        The Partnership's General Partner does not receive any management fee or other compensation in connection with its management of the Partnership's business, but is entitled to reimbursement for all direct and indirect expenses incurred on the Partnership's behalf.

    Cost Reimbursements

        Payroll expenses:    The Partnership's 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 ("LBP"), the owner of the Partnership's General Partner, has adopted an option plan for certain officers, directors, employees, advisors, and consultants of PEM, LBP, and their affiliates. Under the plan, participants may be granted options to acquire partnership interests in LBP. The Partnership is not obligated to pay any amounts to LBP for the benefits granted or paid to its executives and key employees under the Plan, although generally accepted accounting principles require that the Partnership record an expense in its financial statements for the plan benefits to employees providing services to the Partnership, with a corresponding increase in the general partner's capital account.

8



        The option plan is administered by the board of directors of LB Pacific GP, LLC. 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 general partner of LBP. 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. In general, options granted will become exercisable over a period determined by the board of directors of LB Pacific GP, LLC. In addition, the board of directors of LB Pacific GP, LLC may determine whether any unit options may become exercisable upon a change in control of LB Pacific GP, LLC, LB Pacific, LP, or our General Partner.

        The board of directors of LB Pacific GP, LLC may terminate or amend the unit option plan at any time with respect to units for which a grant has not yet been made. However, no change may be made that would materially impair the rights of a participant with respect to an outstanding grant without the consent of the participant.

        Information concerning the plan and grants is shared by LB Pacific, LP with the General Partner's Compensation Committee and Board of Directors, and considered in determining the appropriate level of long term compensation paid by the Partnership.

        In January 2006, LBP granted options representing a maximum 24% interest in LBP, which options vest in 10 years (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 LBP 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 months ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership recognized $0.5 million in compensation expense relating to the LBP options and recorded a capital contribution from the General Partner for the same amount. At March 31, 2006, there was $8.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options granted under the plan; that cost is expected to be recognized over the remaining period of 9.75 years. At March 31, 2006, all granted LBP options remained outstanding.

        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 LBP. In connection with the sale of Anschutz's interest in the Partnership to LBP, LBP 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 $1.2 million incurred for the consent solicitation, $0.6 million was capitalized as deferred financing costs and $0.6 million was expensed.

    Other Related Party Transactions

        Revenue from Related Parties:    One of the Partnership's subsidiaries, Rocky Mountain Pipeline System LLC ("RMPS") serves as the contract operator for certain gas producing properties owned by a

9


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.

        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 Frontier's activities. RMPS received $0.2 million for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2006 and 2005. The Partnership owns a 22.22% partnership interest in Frontier.

        Expenses Paid to Related Parties:    Until December 31, 2005, the Partnership utilized the financial accounting system owned and provided by Anschutz under a shared services arrangement for a fee of $0.1 million per year and Anschutz charged the Partnership for any out-of-pocket costs it incurred. The fixed annual fee included all license, maintenance and employee costs associated with the Partnership's use of the financial accounting system.

        In January 2003, the Partnership began leasing approximately 4,700 square feet of office space from an affiliate of Anschutz, for a term of five years at an annual cost of $0.1 million per year. The lease was terminated in February 2006.

4.     CONTINGENCIES

    Line 63 Oil Release

        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 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 $25.7 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 March 31, 2006, the Partnership had incurred approximately $21.4 million of the total expected remediation costs related to the oil release for work performed through that date. The Partnership estimates that $2.8 million of the remaining remediation costs will be incurred for the remainder of 2006 and $0.7 million (included in "Other liabilities" in the accompanying balance sheet) will be incurred in 2007.

        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. As of March 31, 2006, the Partnership has recovered $15.6 million from insurance and recorded receivables of $8.1 million for future insurance recoveries it deems probable, of which $0.7 million is considered long-term and is included in "Other assets, net" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.

        On or about March 17, 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 from $0 to $0.9 million.

10



        The foregoing estimates are based on facts known at the time of estimation and the Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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." Based on management's analysis of Quanta's 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.

    Litigation

        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 Queen's 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 plaintiff's 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 March 31, 2006) in general damages, Cdn$2 million (approximately U.S.$1.7 million at March 31, 2006) 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 pipeline's 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 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. 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.

11



5.     RESTRICTED UNITS

        A restricted unit is a "phantom" unit. 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.

        In January 2006, the General Partner awarded 46,815 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 and to outside directors that vest over a three-year period beginning March 1, 2006. The financial measure used is the Partnership's 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 based on accomplishment of performance targets for the previous calendar year, subject to the Compensation Committee's authority to subsequently adjust performance targets as it may deem appropriate, in its discretion. Restricted unit activity during the three months ended March 31, 2006 is as follow:

  Forfeited   (5,166 )   (156 )
   
 
 
Outstanding at March 31, 2006   31,210   $ 940  
   
 
 

        Compensation expense recognized for granted performance 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 months ended March 31, 2006, the Partnership incurred $0.4 million 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.

6.     SEGMENT INFORMATION

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 Control—Integrated 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 management's 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 8—Related 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 Partnership's General Partner does not receive any management fee or other compensation in connection with its management of the Partnership's business, but is entitled to reimbursement for all direct and indirect expenses incurred on the Partnership's 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)
    Pacific Terminals LLC ("PT"), owner of the Pacific Terminals storage and distribution system;

    (iii)
    Pacific Atlantic Terminals LLC ("PAT"), which was formed for the purpose of acquiring the California and East Coast terminal assets the Partnership purchased on September 30, 2005 as part of the acquisition of assets from Valero, L.P. (see "Note 3—Acquisitions");

    (iv)
    Pacific Marketing and Transportation LLC ("PMT"), owner of the PMT gathering system and marketer of crude oil;

    (v)
    Rocky Mountain Pipeline System LLC ("RMPS"), owner of the Western Corridor and Salt Lake City Core systems, and which acquired the West Pipeline system (which is now known as the Rocky Mountain Products Pipeline) on September 30, 2005 as part of the acquisition of assets from Valero, L.P.; and

    (vi)
    Ranch Pipeline LLC ("RPL"), owner of a 22.22% partnership interest in Frontier Pipeline Company ("Frontier"), a Wyoming general partnership.

        The Partnership holds 100% interest in PEG Canada GP LLC ("PEG Canada GP"), the general partner of PEG Canada, L.P. ("PEG Canada"), the holding company of the Partnership's Canadian

F-8


subsidiaries. The Partnership owns 100% of the limited and general partner interests in PEG Canada, whose 100% owned subsidiaries consist of:

    (i)
    Rangeland Pipeline Company ("RPC"), which owns 100% of Aurora Pipeline Company Ltd. ("Aurora") and a partnership interest in Rangeland Pipeline Partnership ("Rangeland Partnership");

    (ii)
    Rangeland Northern Pipeline Company ("RNPC"), which owns the remaining partnership interest in Rangeland Partnership; and

    (iii)
    Rangeland Marketing Company ("RMC").

        Rangeland Partnership owns all of the assets that make up the Rangeland pipeline system except the Aurora pipeline, which is owned by Aurora.

        The Partnership also owns 100% of Pacific Energy Finance Corporation, which was organized for the purpose of co-issuing the Partnership's senior notes.

    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 20—Segment Information".

    Basis of Presentation

        The accompanying financial statements and related notes present the Partnership's (including all of its wholly-owned subsidiaries) consolidated financial position as of December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the consolidated results of the Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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.

        PMT's 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 PPS's 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 PT's 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 Partnership's West Coast pipelines.

        A substantial portion of the Partnership's 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 Partnership's Canadian buy/sell transportation revenue, in 2005 three customers accounted for 50% of the Partnership's Canadian net sales revenue and in 2004 two customers accounted for approximately 60% of the Partnership's Canadian net sales revenue. In 2005, three suppliers accounted for 58% of the Partnership's Canadian net purchase contracts and in 2004 one supplier accounted for 66% of the Partnership's Canadian net purchase contracts. Each of these customers and suppliers individually accounted for more that 10% of the Partnership's Canadian buy/sell transportation revenue and net purchase contracts.

        Although the above concentration could affect the Partnership's 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 Partnership's gathering and marketing activities. The Partnership's 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 asset's expected future undiscounted cash flows. Estimates of expected future cash flows represent management's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 investor's 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 investor's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 unitholder's tax accounting, which is partially dependent upon the unitholder's tax position, differs from the accounting followed in the consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the aggregate difference in the basis of the Partnership's net assets for financial and tax reporting purposes cannot be readily determined because information regarding each unitholder's 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 Partnership's 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 16—Derivative 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 instrument's 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.

 
  Year Ended December 31,
 
  2005

  (in thousands)

Basic weighted average limited partner units   32,381   28,406   22,328
Effect of restricted units   23   67   202
Effect of unit options   10   15   10
   
 
 
Diluted weighted average limited partner units   32,414   28,488   22,540
   
 
 

    Allocation of Net Income

        Net income is allocated to the Partnership's general partner and limited partners based on their respective interests in the Partnership. The Partnership's 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 17—Allocation 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 18—Long-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 Partnership's 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 period's 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 Partnership's new revolving credit facility (See "Note 9—Long-term Debt" and "Note 15—Partner's 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 1960's. 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 Seller's 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 terminalling 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 Partnership's 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 Seller's 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 following is a summary of the consideration paid and purchase price allocation (in thousands):

Consideration and assumed liabilities:      
  Purchase price   $ 455,000
  Transaction costs     3,740
  Assumed liabilities     11,524
   
Total consideration and assumed liabilities   $ 470,264
   

Purchase price allocation:

 

 

 
  Land and improvements   $ 41,672
  Storage tanks, pipelines and related equipment     396,696
  Inventory     176
  Intangible assets     31,720
   
Total   $ 470,264
   

        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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's credit facility.

F-18



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

        Based upon independent appraisals of the fair values of the Rangeland and MAPL assets, the following is a summary of the consideration paid and purchase price allocation (U.S.$ in thousands):

Consideration and assumed liabilities:      
  Purchase price   $ 114,595
  Payments for working capital, linefill, minimum tank inventories and other items     22,486
  Transaction costs     1,620
  Assumed liabilities     6,486
   
    Subtotal     145,187

Purchase price allocation:

 

 

 
  Pipelines, equipment and property   $ 120,838
  Pipeline linefill and minimum tank inventories     17,620
  Intangible assets     32,392
  Working capital     4,685
   
Total   $ 175,535
   

    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 Partnership's revolving credit facility, and was treated as an asset purchase. Based upon independent appraisals of the fair values of the acquired assets, the following is a summary of the consideration paid and purchase price allocation (in thousands):

Consideration and assumed liabilities:      
  Purchase price   $ 158,200
  Payments for working capital and reimbursement of certain other expenditures     9,746

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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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.

        Depreciation expense for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2005, was $27.4 million, $23.4 million and $18.2 million, respectively.

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 Partnership's 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 consist of the following:

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 Corporation's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 17—Allocation of Net Income"). LBP reimbursed this amount, which was recorded as a partner's 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. Polson's 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 9—Long-Term Debt", below) and $0.3 million for legal and other expenses (also see "Note 17—Allocation 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, RMPS's 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 Frontier's pipeline's 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 Partnership's General Partner until March 3, 2005, and sole stockholder of Anschutz Company, the indirect parent until March 3, 2005, of the Partnership's 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 Anschutz's risk management personnel for acquiring the Partnership's insurance, and the Partnership's surety bonds were, until 2004, issued under Anschutz's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's credit facility, and the liabilities with respect to these purchase obligations are recorded in "Accrued crude oil purchases" on the Partnership's 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 8—Related 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:

Year

  Percentage
 
2009   103.563 %
2010   102.375  
2011   101.188  
2012 and thereafter   100.000  

        The notes are jointly and severally guaranteed by certain of the Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 partner's capital contribution (see "Note 8—Related 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:

Year

  Percentage
 
2010   103.125 %
2011   102.083  
2012   101.042  
2013 and thereafter   100.000  

        The indenture governing the notes contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Partnership's 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 3—Acquisitions"). The Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's environmental liabilities.

Long-term portion of environmental liabilities   $ 16,617   $ 7,269  
   
 
 

        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 Partnership's 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 Queen's 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 plaintiff's 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 pipeline's 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 4—Line 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):

Year ending December 31,

   
  2006   $ 1,378
  2007     1,041
  2008     761
  2009     402
  2010     174
  Thereafter     28
   
    $ 3,784
   

    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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 follows:

Year Ended December 31,

2003     21,650     19,624     841     42,115

        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.

    Public Equity Offerings

        During the three years ended December 31, 2005, the Partnership completed the following public equity offerings of its common units:

        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 PEG's 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 Partner's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's foreign currency hedging activities is to reduce the risk that the Partnership's 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:

 
  Canadian dollars
  US dollars
  Average Exchange Rate
 
  (in thousands)

   
2006   $ 7,200   $ 6,126   Cdn $1.18 to U.S. $1.00
2007     6,600     5,662   Cdn $1.17 to U.S. $1.00
2008     3,193     2,754   Cdn $1.16 to U.S. $1.00

        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.

    Fair Value of Financial Instruments

        The carrying amount and fair values of financial instruments are as follows:

 
  December 31,
 
  2005
  2004
 
  Carrying Value
  Fair Value
  Carrying Value
  Fair Value
 
  (in thousands)

Crude oil hedging futures   $ 161   $ 161   $ 400   $ 400
Fair value interest rate swaps     567     567     2,693     2,693
Foreign exchange contracts     195     195        
Long-term debt     565,632     576,015     357,163     373,265

        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 broker's 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 Partnership's 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 8—Related 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 Partner's Board of Directors. The Managing General Partner's 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 Partner's 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.

F-38



        Restricted unit activity during the years ended December 31, 2005, 2004 and 2003 was as follows:

 
  Number of
Restricted Units

 
Balance at December 31, 2002   381,250  
  Granted   34,000  
  Vested(1)   (130,750 )
  Forfeited   (12,500 )
   
 
Balance at December 31, 2003   272,000  
  Granted   11,500  
  Vested(1)   (135,750 )
  Forfeited   (3,000 )

  Vested(1)   (144,750 )
   
 
Balance at December 31, 2005    
   
 

(1)
Includes units relinquished in satisfaction of withholding taxes.

        The Partnership recognized $0.2 million, $2.1 million and $3.2 million of compensation expense 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 Partnership's General Partner, all restricted units outstanding under the Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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.

F-39



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 employee's 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 Partnership's 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 Partnership's 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 employee's 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 employee's 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.

20.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

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"). The merger-related transactions include:

    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 2,616,250 common units of Pacific and 7,848,750 subordinated units of Pacific for a total of $700 million in cash; and

    The acquisition of the balance of Pacific's equity through a tax-free unit-for-unit merger in which each Pacific unitholder (other than LB Pacific) will receive 0.77 newly issued Plains common units for each Pacific common unit.

        Upon consummation of the merger-related transactions, the general partner and limited partner ownership interests in Pacific will be extinguished and Pacific will be merged with and into Plains. Pacific's operating subsidiaries will be directly or indirectly owned by Plains. The proposed merger-related transactions will be 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 statements of combined operations for the three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 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 three months ended March 31, 2006;

(3)
Pacific's Annual Report on Form 10-K and Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2005; and

(4)
Pacific's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 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 divestiture of assets that may be required for governmental clearance of the proposed merger or 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 three months ended March 31, 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):

Cash payment to LB Pacific   $ 700.0
Estimated fair value of Plains common units to be issued in exchange for Pacific common units (see below)     1,002.2
Assumption of Pacific debt (at estimated fair value)     622.7
Estimated transaction costs     40.7
   
  Total consideration   $ 2,365.6
   

        Plains will exchange 0.77 of its common units for each Pacific common unit remaining after Plains' purchase of 2,616,250 common units owned by LB Pacific. Although cash will be paid for any fractional units as a result of the exchange, such amount is not estimable at this time. Plains currently estimates

F-6



that the number of Plains common units to be issued in the exchange will be 22,262,030 calculated as follows:

Pacific units outstanding at March 31, 2006        
  Common units     31,457,782  
  Subordinated units     7,848,750  
   
 
Total historical units outstanding at March 31, 2006     39,306,532  
Pro forma adjustments to Pacific historical units outstanding:        
  Plains purchase of subordinated units held by LB Pacific     (7,848,750 )
  Plains purchase of common units held by LB Pacific     (2,616,250 )
  Issuance of common units for outstanding Pacific restricted unit awards     70,195  
   
 
Pro forma Pacific common units subject to exchange offer by Plains     28,911,727  
Exchange ratio (0.77 Plains common units for each Pacific common unit)     0.77  
   
 
Pro forma Plains units to be issued to Pacific common unitholders in connection with merger     22,262,030  
   
 
Average closing price of Plains common units (see below)   $ 45.02  
   
 
Estimated fair value of Plains common units to be issued in exchange for Pacific common units (in millions)   $ 1,002.2  
   
 

        In accordance with purchase accounting rules, the pro forma value of the units issued in the exchange is based on the average closing price of Plains common units immediately prior to and after the merger was announced on June 12, 2006. The following table shows the closing prices of Plains common units for the two trading days prior to and after the proposed merger was announced.

June 8, 2006   $ 46.30
June 9, 2006     46.10
June 13, 2006     43.88
June 14, 2006     43.81
   
Average closing price of Plains common units   $ 45.02
   

        Upon completion of the proposed merger or shortly thereafter, Plains will obtain a third-party valuation of Pacific's 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.

F-7



        The following table shows Plains' preliminary purchase price allocation (in millions):

Description

  Amount
  Average
Depreciable
Life

PP&E   $ 1,404.0   5-40
Inventory     38.3   n/a
Pipeline linefill and inventory in third party assets     55.3   n/a
Intangible assets     96.8   30
Working capital, excluding inventory     8.8   n/a
Other long-term assets and liabilities, net     (38.0 ) n/a
Goodwill (see below)     800.4   n/a
   
   
Total   $ 2,365.6    
   
   

        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.

        The following table shows Plains' preliminary calculation of the estimated pro forma goodwill amount (in millions):

Cash payment to LB Pacific   $ 700.0
Estimated fair value of Plains common units to be issued in exchange for Pacific public units     1,002.2
Estimated transaction costs     40.7
   
  Total consideration, excluding debt assumed     1,742.9
Estimated fair value of Pacific's net assets     942.5
   
  Excess of purchase price over net assets of Pacific preliminarily assigned to goodwill   $ 800.4
   

        For an analysis of the sensitivity of pro forma earnings to potential reclassifications of this preliminary goodwill amount to tangible or intangible assets, please read "Pro Forma Sensitivity Analysis" below.

        The following table shows Plains' preliminary calculation of the sources of funding for the acquisition (in millions):

Estimated fair value of Plains common units to be issued in exchange for Pacific common units   $ 1,002.2  
Plains general partner capital contribution     20.4  
Assumption of Pacific debt (at estimated fair value)     622.7  
Repayment of Pacific credit facility     (181.7 )
Plains new debt incurred     902.0  
   
 
  Total sources of funding   $ 2,365.6  
   
 

F-8


    Pro Forma Adjustments

    a.
    To reclassify certain line items on Pacific's 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.

    c.
    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 5 to 40 years.

    g.
    Reflects the adjustment to interest expense for (i) the increase in long-term debt of $902 million from a "bridge" credit facility using an average interest rate of 5.6%, (ii) the decrease in long-term debt of approximately $182 million from the repayment of the Pacific credit facility and (iii) the amortization of the premium on the senior notes. The impact to interest expense of a 1/8% change in interest rates would be approximately $1.1 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 proposed 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.

        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 businesses 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. Upon completion of the proposed merger or shortly thereafter, Plains will obtain a third party valuation of Pacific's 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 increase in pro forma depreciation or amortization expense 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 34 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):
