INDEX TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

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 proposed 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 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 statement of combined operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and the year ended December 31, 2005 have been prepared as if the transactions described above had taken place on January 1, 2005. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet at June 30, 2006 assumes the transactions were consummated on that date.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in conjunction with and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the notes accompanying such unaudited pro forma financial statements as well as the notes included in the historical financial statements included in the following public filings:

(1)         Plains’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005;

(2)         Plains’ Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 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 quarter ended June 30, 2006.

The unaudited pro forma financial statements are based on assumptions that Plains believes are reasonable under the circumstances and are intended for informational purposes only. They are not necessarily indicative of the results of the actual or future operations or financial condition that would have been achieved had the transactions occurred at the dates assumed (as noted above).

The unaudited pro forma financial statements do not give effect to any anticipated cost savings or other financial benefits expected to result from the merger.

PLAINS ALL AMERICAN PIPELINE, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

These unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements and underlying pro forma adjustments are based upon currently available information and certain estimates and assumptions made by the management of Plains and Pacific; therefore, actual results could differ materially from the pro forma information. However, we believe the assumptions provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects of the transactions noted herein. Plains believes the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the pro forma information. Please read “Pro Forma Sensitivity Analysis” for assumptions related to fair value estimates.

The Plains Pro Forma income before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle for the year ended December 31, 2005 includes, as required, the following pro forma adjustments related to the acquisition of the Valero assets that Pacific acquired effective September 30, 2005: (i) depreciation expense for the entire year of approximately $11 million associated with Plains' estimated purchase price allocated to the Valero assets; and (ii) interest expense of approximately $11 million for the entire year on the $175 million 6 1¤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 six months ended June 30, 2006 does not include any synergies that Plains expects to achieve as a result of the merger with Pacific.

The merger of Pacific into Plains presented in these pro forma statements has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and the purchase price allocation has been estimated in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations.” The total estimated consideration is summarized below (in millions):

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

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.

Upon completion of the proposed merger or shortly thereafter, Plains will obtain a 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.

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 approximately $938 million from a “bridge” credit facility using an average interest rate of 6.0%, (ii) the decrease in long-term debt of approximately $217 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 $1.4 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 the business that Plains is acquiring. Preliminary estimates are that the excess of the purchase price over the preliminary fair values (“excess cost”) may be assigned to non-amortizable other intangible assets or goodwill as opposed to depreciable fixed assets or amortizable intangible assets. Upon completion of the proposed merger or shortly thereafter, Plains will obtain a 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):

PACIFIC ENERGY PARTNERS, L.P.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2006
(Unaudited)

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

Pacific Energy Partners, L.P. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Partnership”) are engaged principally in the business of gathering, transporting, storing and distributing crude oil, refined products and other related products. The Partnership generates revenue primarily by transporting such commodities on its pipelines, by leasing storage capacity in its storage tanks, and by providing other terminaling services. The Partnership also buys and sells crude oil, activities that are generally complementary to its other crude oil operations. The Partnership conducts its business through two business units, the West Coast Business Unit, which includes activities in California and the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area, and the Rocky Mountain Business Unit, which includes activities in five Rocky Mountain states and Alberta, Canada.

The Partnership is managed by its general partner, Pacific Energy GP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, which is managed by its general partner, Pacific Energy Management LLC (“PEM”), a Delaware limited liability company. Thus, the officers and board of directors of PEM manage the business affairs of Pacific Energy GP, LP and the Partnership. References to the “General Partner” refer to Pacific Energy GP, LP and/or PEM, as the context indicates: and “Board of Directors” refers to the board of directors of PEM.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial reporting and with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) regulations. Accordingly, these statements have been condensed and do not include all of the information and footnotes required for complete financial statements. These statements involve the use of estimates and judgments where appropriate. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for the full year. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated during the consolidation process.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the ownership and results of operations of the assets acquired from Valero, L.P., since the acquisition of these assets on September 30, 2005. The assets acquired from Valero, L.P. have been integrated into our West Coast and Rocky Mountain Business Units as 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 4 and 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more details on share-based compensation.

In September 2005, the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) issued Issue No. 04-13 (“EITF 04-13”), Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty. The issues addressed by the EITF are (i) the circumstances under which two or more exchange transactions involving inventory with the same counterparty should be viewed as a single exchange transaction for the purposes of evaluating the effect of APB No. 29; and (ii) whether there are circumstances under which nonmonetary exchanges of inventory within the same line of business should be recognized at fair value. EITF 04-13 is effective for new arrangements entered into in the reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006, and to all inventory transactions that are completed after December 15, 2006, for arrangements entered into prior to March 15, 2006. The adoption of EITF 04-13 did not have a material impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No. 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This Interpretation prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. This Interpretation also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 will apply to the Partnership’s Canadian subsidiaries, which are taxable entities in Canada. The Partnership is in the process of determining the impact of FIN 48 on its financial statements, but does not expect it to have a material impact. FIN 48 is effective for the Partnership as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning on January 1, 2007.

In June 2006, the EITF issued Issue No. 06-3 (“EITF 06-3), How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation). The issues addressed by the EITF are (i) whether the scope of this Issue should include (a) all nondiscretionary amounts assessed by governmental authorities, (b) all nondiscretionary amounts assessed by governmental authorities in connection with a transaction with a customer, or (c) only sales, use, and value added taxes, and (ii) how taxes assessed by a governmental authority within the scope of this issue should be presented in the income statement (that is, gross versus net presentation). EITF 06-3 is effective for interim and annual financial periods beginning after December 15, 2006. The Partnership is in the process of determining the impact of EITF 06-3 on its financial statements, but does not expect it to have a material impact.

2.   PROPOSED MERGER WITH PLAINS ALL AMERICAN PIPELINE, L.P.

On June 12, 2006, the Partnership announced that it had entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“PAA”), Plains AAP, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Plains All American GP LLC (“PAA GP LLC”), PEM, and Pacific Energy GP, LP, pursuant to which the Partnership will be merged with and into PAA. In the merger, each common unitholder of the Partnership, except LB Pacific, LP (“LB Pacific”), the owner of the Partnership’s General Partner, will receive 0.77 common units of PAA for each common unit of the Partnership that the unitholder owns. In addition, pursuant to a purchase agreement between LB Pacific and PAA, PAA will acquire from LB Pacific the general partner interest and incentive distribution rights of the Partnership as well as 2,616,250 common units and 7,848,750 subordinated units for total consideration of $700 million in cash. The merger agreement was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors of PEM, as well as by the PAA GP LLC board of directors.

If the proposed transaction is ultimately consummated, the general partner and limited partner interests in the Partnership will be extinguished and the Partnership will cease to exist as a separate legal

7




entity. The Partnership’s operating subsidiaries will be directly or indirectly owned by PAA. PAA’s management team and board of directors will continue in their current roles and manage the combined company. The merger is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2006.

Each of the Partnership and PAA made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the merger agreement, including covenants restricting the Partnership’s ability to initiate or continue any discussions with any other person with respect to a business combination while the merger is pending or to engage in any of those discussions unless the failure to do so would be reasonably likely to constitute a violation of fiduciary duties. The merger agreement may be terminated by the Partnership and/or PAA in specified circumstances, and provides that upon termination of the merger agreement in circumstances involving a competing proposal to acquire the Partnership or PAA, the parties are required to pay one another termination fees of up to $40 million. The merger is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, including, among others:

·       the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the Partnership’s outstanding common units (excluding common units held by LB Pacific) and at least a majority of the Partnership’s outstanding subordinated units, each voting as a separate class;

·       the adoption and approval of the merger agreement and the merger by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of PAA’s outstanding common units, and the approval of the issuance of PAA common units pursuant to the merger agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of PAA’s outstanding common units;

·       receipt of required regulatory approvals, including pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 and approvals of Canadian governmental authorities, the Federal Communications Commission, the Public Utilities Commission of the state of California and the Public Service Commission of the state of Wyoming (see “Note 9—Subsequent Events”);

·       the continued effectiveness of PAA’s registration statement on Form S-4 to register the PAA common units to be issued in the merger, and the approval for listing on the New York Stock Exchange of such PAA common units;

·       the absence of any decree, order, injunction or law that prohibits the merger or makes the merger unlawful; and

·       the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the purchase agreement between PAA and LB Pacific.

Each of PAA and LB Pacific made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the purchase agreement. The purchase agreement may be terminated by LB Pacific or PAA upon or after termination of the merger agreement, and may be terminated at any time by the mutual written agreement of LB Pacific and PAA. In addition, the purchase agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including satisfaction of all conditions specified in the merger agreement.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Partnership incurred approximately $3.4 million in costs directly relating to the merger for investment banking fees, legal fees, and other transaction costs. Approximately $0.7 million of investment banking fees were payable to affiliates of Lehman Brothers Inc., an indirect partial owner of the General Partner (see “Note 5—Related Party Transactions”). These costs are included in the condensed consolidated statements of income under the caption “Merger costs”.

3.   INCOME TAXES

The Partnership and its U.S. and Canadian subsidiaries are not taxable entities in the U.S. and are not subject to U.S. federal or state income taxes, as the tax effect of operations is passed through to its

8




unitholders. However, the Partnership’s Canadian subsidiaries are taxable entities in Canada and are subject to Canadian federal and provincial income taxes. In addition, inter-company interest payments and repatriation of funds through dividend payments are subject to withholding tax.

Income taxes for the 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.

During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, the Canadian and Alberta governments enacted legislation which will reduce federal and provincial income taxes. The Partnership adjusted the future income tax rates used in the estimates of deferred tax assets and liabilities and recognized a $4.6 million deferred tax benefit during the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

4.   NET INCOME PER LIMITED PARTNER UNIT

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.

Basic net income per limited partner unit is determined by dividing net income, after adding back costs and deducting certain amounts allocated to the General Partner (including incentive distribution payments in excess of its 2% ownership interest), by the weighted average number of outstanding limited partner units.

Diluted net income per limited partner unit is calculated in the same manner as basic net income per limited partner unit above, except that the weighted average number of outstanding limited partner units is increased to include the dilutive effect of outstanding options, if any, and restricted units by application of the treasury stock method.

9




Set forth below is the computation of net income allocated to limited partners and net income per basic and diluted limited partner unit. The table also shows the reconciliation of basic average limited partner units to diluted weighted average limited partner units.

5.   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Cost Reimbursements

Managing General Partner:   The 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 any participants under the plan, although generally accepted accounting principles require that the Partnership record an expense in its financial statements for benefits granted to employees of PEM or the Partnership who provide services to the Partnership, with a corresponding increase in the General Partner’s capital account.

10




The option plan is administered by the board of directors of LB Pacific GP, LLC, the general partner of LBP. The terms, conditions, performance goals, restrictions, limitations, forfeiture, vesting or exercise schedule, and other provisions of grants under the plan, as well as eligibility to participate are determined by the board of directors of LB Pacific GP, LLC. The board of directors of LB Pacific GP, LLC may determine to grant options under the plan to participants containing such terms as the board of LB Pacific GP, LLC shall determine. Options will have an exercise price that may not be less than the fair market value of the units on the date of grant.

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 long term incentive compensation paid by the Partnership to participants in the plan.

In January 2006, LBP granted options representing a maximum 24% interest in LBP (assuming all options vest and are exercised), which options vest over a period of 10 years from the date of grant (except in limited circumstances such as a change in control), to certain officers and key employees of PEM and the Partnership. The grants, qualified as equity-classified awards, had a grant date fair value of $8.6 million. The fair value of the options was determined using valuation techniques that included the discounted present value of estimated future cash flows for 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 and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Partnership recognized $0.4 million and $0.9 million in compensation expense relating to the LBP options and recorded a capital contribution from the General Partner for the same amounts. At June 30, 2006, all granted LBP options remained outstanding. At June 30, 2006, there was $7.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options granted under the plan which cost was expected to be recognized over the remaining period of 9.5 years. Upon the close of the proposed merger with PAA, the options will become immediately exercisable. Total unrecognized compensation expense on the closing date will be immediately recognized in the income statement.

LB Pacific, LP and Anschutz:   Prior to March 3, 2005, the General Partner was owned by The Anschutz Corporation (“Anschutz”). On March 3, 2005, Anschutz sold its interest in the Partnership, including its interest in the General Partner, to 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 $2.4 million total incurred, $1.8 million was expensed, as shown on the income statement as “reimbursed general partner transaction costs”, and $0.6 million of the consent solicitation costs were capitalized as deferred financing costs.

Special Agreement:   On March 3, 2005, Douglas L. Polson, previously the Chairman of the Board of Directors entered into a Special Agreement and a Consulting Agreement with PEM. In accordance with the Special Agreement, Mr. Polson resigned as Chairman of the Board of Directors effective

11




March 3, 2005. Mr. Polson was paid approximately $0.9 million, representing accrued salary through March 3, 2005, accrued but unused vacation and payment in satisfaction of other obligations under his employment agreement. The latter portion of this payment was recorded as an expense in “Reimbursed general partner transaction costs” in the accompanying condensed consolidated income statements. LBP reimbursed this amount, which was recorded as a partner’s capital contribution. Pursuant to the Consulting Agreement, Mr. Polson agreed to perform advisory services to PEM from time to time as mutually agreed between Mr. Polson and the Chief Executive Officer of PEM. In consideration for Mr. Polson’s services under the Consulting Agreement, which had a one-year term, Mr. Polson received a monthly consulting fee of $12,500 and reimbursement of all reasonable business expenses incurred or paid by Mr. Polson in the course of performing his duties thereunder.

Lehman Brothers, Inc.

Lehman Brothers, Inc. is deemed to be an affiliate of the Partnership’s General Partner through a 59% ownership interest in LBP, which is controlled by Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., the parent entity of Lehman Brothers, Inc. Lehman Brothers, Inc. acted as financial advisor to LBP and the Partnership in connection with the proposed merger and the transactions related to the merger (see Note 2—Proposed Merger With Plains All American, L.P.). Lehman Brothers, Inc. delivered an opinion to the Board of Directors to the effect that, as of the date of its opinion and based on and subject to various assumptions made, the aggregate consideration to be offered to all of the holders of the partnership interests in the Partnership in the proposed transaction is fair to such holders. The agreement with Lehman Brothers, Inc. was reviewed and approved by the Conflicts Committee of the Board of Directors and the fees charged were customary for the type of services provided. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the Partnership incurred $0.7 million in fees with Lehman Brothers, Inc. The Partnership has agreed to pay Lehman Brothers, Inc. an additional $7.7 million success fee contingent on the successful consummation of the merger.

Other Related Party Transactions

RMPS receives an operating fee and management fee from Frontier Pipeline Company (“Frontier”) in connection with time spent by RMPS management and for other services related to Frontier’s activities. RMPS received $0.2 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and $0.4 million for each of the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Partnership owns a 22.22% partnership interest in Frontier.

6.   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 $25.5 million for oil containment and clean-up of the impacted areas, future monitoring costs, potential third-party claims and penalties, and other costs, excluding pipeline repair costs. As of June 30, 2006, the Partnership had incurred approximately $21.1 million of the total expected remediation costs related to the oil release for work performed through that date. The Partnership estimates that the $4.4 million of remaining remediation cost will be incurred before June 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 certain penalties. The insurance carrier has, subject to the terms of the insurance policy, acknowledged coverage of the incident and is processing and paying invoices related to the clean-up. The Partnership believes that, subject to the $2.0 million

12




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 June 30, 2006, the Partnership has recovered $17.7 million from insurance and recorded receivables of $5.8 million for future insurance recoveries it deems probable.

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 between $0 and $0.9 million.

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.” During the second quarter of 2006, Quanta announced that their Board of Directors decided to cease underwriting or seeking new business and to place most of its remaining specialty insurance and reinsurance lines into orderly run-off. On June 7, 2006 A. M. Best further downgraded Quanta from B++ to B. Subsequent to this downgrading, Quanta was removed from A. M. Best’s interactive rating process, at Quanta’s request. Based on management’s further 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.

Product Contamination

In June 2006, approximately 44,000 barrels of a customer’s product at our Martinez terminal was contaminated. The Partnership has insurance coverage for the damage or loss of its customers’ products while in its care, custody and control at certain of its terminals subject to a $0.1 million per-occurrence deductible. The Partnership recognized a loss of $0.2 million to cover the insurance deductible and other associated costs. At this time, the Partnership believes all other estimated net costs related to the contamination of the property will be covered under the insurance policy, and has accrued for the insurance deductible and other costs of $0.2 million, which is included in “Other current liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet. The estimated range of total net costs is from $0.2 million to $0.8 million.

Litigation

On June 15, 2006, a lawsuit was filed in the Superior court of California, County of Los Angeles, entitled Kosseff v. Pacific Energy, et al, case no. BC 3544016. The plaintiff alleges that he is a unitholder of

13




Partnership and seeks to represent a class comprising all of the Partnership’s unitholders. The complaint names as defendants the Partnership and certain of the officers and directors of Pacific’s general partner, and asserts claims of self-dealing and breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the pending merger with PAA and related transactions. Among other allegations, the plaintiff alleges that (1) the proposed transaction was the product of a flawed process that would result in the sale of the Partnership at an unfairly low price, (2) subsequent quarterly financial results for the Partnership would have had a material positive impact on the Partnership’s common unit price had the proposed transaction not been announced, and thus the premium being offered to the Partnership’s unitholders was manufactured by the defendants based on the timing of the announcement of the proposed transaction, (3) because of various conflicts of interest, the defendants have acted to better their own interests at the expense of the Partnership’s public unitholders, (4) the defendants favored the proposed transaction in order to secure accelerated vesting of equity compensation under change in control provisions in contracts they have with the Partnership, and (5) the defendants were assured that Lehman Brothers Inc. “would rubber-stamp the transaction as fair and, for that reason Lehman [Brothers Inc.] was hand-picked by the defendants to issue the so-called ‘fairness opinion’.” The plaintiff seeks injunctive relief against completing the merger or, if the merger is completed, rescission of the merger, other equitable relief, and recovery of the plaintiff’s costs and attorneys’ fees. The Partnership believes that the lawsuit is without merit and intends to defend against it vigorously. There can be no assurance that additional claims may not be made or filed, the substance of which may be similar to the allegations described above or that otherwise might arise from, or in connection with, the merger agreement and the transaction it contemplates.

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 June 30, 2006) in general damages, Cdn$2 million (approximately U.S.$1.8 million at June 30, 2006) in special damages, and, in addition, unspecified amounts for punitive, exemplary and aggravated damages, costs and interest. RPC believes the claim is without merit, and intends to vigorously defend against it. RPC also believes that certain of the claims, if successfully proven by the plaintiffs, would be liabilities retained by the 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.

In 2001, Big West Oil Company and Chevron Products Company (the “Complainants”) filed complaints against Frontier Pipeline Company (“Frontier”) with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) challenging rates contained in joint tariffs in which Frontier was a participating carrier and rates contained in local tariffs filed by Frontier. On February 18, 2004, the FERC found against

14




Frontier on certain of the Complainants’ claims and ordered Frontier to pay reparations to Complainants in the aggregate amount of approximately $4.2 million, plus interest, which Frontier paid in August 2004. On October 5, 2004, Frontier filed a petition for review of the FERC’s reparations orders in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, and on May 26, 2006 the Court of Appeals held that the FERC’s reparation ruling was inconsistent with applicable law, and thus vacated the FERC’s order and remanded the matter back to the FERC for further consideration consistent with the Court of Appeals’ decision. On July 25, 2006, Frontier filed a motion asking the FERC to dismiss the reparations complaints of the Complainants on the grounds that their complaints fail to state claims that can be sustained consistent with the ruling of the Court of Appeals. Frontier’s motion also asked the FERC to order the refund by the Complainants of the reparations previously paid by Frontier, plus interest. The Complainants have not yet responded to Frontier’s motion and no action on the motion has been taken by the FERC. If Frontier prevails on its motion or in any remand proceeding conducted by the FERC, it would be entitled to repayment in the amount of $5.4 million, plus interest thereon from August 23, 2004. The Partnership owns 22.22% of Frontier. Although the Partnership believes Frontier’s motion to dismiss the complaints, as well as the defenses it would assert in a remand proceeding before the FERC, are meritorious, the Partnership cannot predict the outcome of any such actions, and has not recorded any amount for this contingency.

The Partnership is involved in various other regulatory disputes, litigation and claims arising out of its operations in the normal course of business. The Partnership is not currently a party to any legal or regulatory proceedings the resolution of which could be expected to have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, liquidity or results of operations.

7.   RESTRICTED UNITS

A restricted unit is a “phantom” unit under the Partnership’s long term incentive compensation plan. A phantom unit entitles the grantee to receive a common unit upon the vesting of the phantom unit. The Partnership intends the issuance of the restricted units under the plan to serve as a means of incentive compensation for performance and not primarily as an opportunity to participate in the equity appreciation of the common units. Therefore, plan participants will not pay any consideration for the common units they receive, and the Partnership will receive no remuneration for such units.

In January 2006 and May 2006, the General Partner awarded 89,110 restricted units to key employees and outside directors that vest over a three-year period, beginning on March 1, 2006 and March 1, 2007, respectively. The number of units to be delivered to key employees in any year, if any, will be based on accomplishment of performance targets (measured by distributable cash flow) for the previous calendar year, subject to the Compensation Committee’s authority to subsequently adjust performance targets as it may deem appropriate, in its discretion. Restricted unit activity during the six months ended June 30, 2006 is as follows:

Compensation expense recognized for outstanding restricted units is based on grant date fair value of the common units to be awarded to the grantee upon vesting of the phantom unit, adjusted for the expected target performance level for each year. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, the

15




Partnership incurred $0.2 million and $0.5 million, respectively, in compensation expense for restricted units it deemed probable of achieving the performance criteria, including the amount for the first vesting of these awards which occurred on March 1, 2006.

The outstanding unit grants include change of control provisions that require immediate vesting of units in the event of a change in control of the Partnership or its General Partner. Upon the close of the proposed merger with PAA, all outstanding restricted units will immediately vest pursuant to the terms of the grants, and any remaining unamortized compensation expense will be immediately recognized.

On March 3, 2005, in connection with LBP’s acquisition of the Partnership’s General Partner, all restricted units then 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. Of the total $3.1 million, the compensation expense categorization was $0.6 million for operating personnel and $2.5 million for general and administrative personnel.

8.   SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Partnership’s business and operations are organized into two business segments: the West Coast Business Unit and the Rocky Mountain Business Unit. The West Coast Business Unit includes: (i) Pacific Pipeline System LLC, owner of Line 2000 and Line 63, (ii) Pacific Marketing and Transportation LLC (West Coast Business Unit operations), owner of the PMT gathering system and marketer of crude oil, (iii) Pacific Terminals LLC, owner of the Pacific Terminals storage and distribution system, and (iv) Pacific Atlantic Terminals LLC, owner of the San Francisco and Philadelphia area terminals, which were acquired on September 30, 2005.

       (4) Business unit assets do not include assets related to the Partnership’s parent level activities. As of June 30, 2006 and 2005, parent level related assets were $56.0 and $39.9 respectively.

       (5) Segment capital expenditures do not include parent level capital expenditures. Parent level capital expenditures were $2.5 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and $9.2 million and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

       (6) On March 23, 2005, a release of approximately 3,400 barrels of crude oil occurred on PPS’s Line 63 as a result of a landslide caused by heavy rainfall in northern Los Angeles County. As a result of the release, the Partnership recorded $2.0 million net oil release costs in the first quarter of 2005, consisting of what it now estimates to be $25.5 million of accrued costs relating to the release, net of insurance recovery of $17.7 million to June 30, 2006 and accrued insurance receipts of $5.8 million.

9.   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On July 17, 2006, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.5675 per limited partner unit, payable on August 14, 2006, to unitholders of record as of August 1, 2006.

On August 1, 2006, the Partnership and PAA announced that the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, for the proposed merger expired on July 31, 2006. In addition, PAA has received a “no issues” letter from the Canadian Competitive Bureau and notice that the accompanying waiting period under the Competition Act has expired. These expirations satisfy certain of the closing conditions contained in the merger agreement (see “Note 2—Proposed Merger With Plains All American Pipeline, L.P.”).

10.   SUPPLEMENTAL CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Certain of the Partnership’s 100% owned subsidiaries have issued full, unconditional, and joint and several guarantees of the 71¤8% senior notes due 2014 and the 61¤4% senior notes due 2015 (the “Senior Notes”). Given that certain, but not all subsidiaries of the Partnership are guarantors of its Senior Notes, the Partnership is required to present the following supplemental condensed consolidating financial

19




information. For purposes of the following footnote, the Partnership is referred to as “Parent”, while the “Guarantor Subsidiaries” are Rocky Mountain Pipeline System LLC, Pacific Marketing and Transportation LLC, Pacific Atlantic Terminals LLC, Ranch Pipeline LLC, PEG Canada GP LLC, PEG Canada, L.P. and Pacific Energy Group LLC, and “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries” are Pacific Pipeline System LLC, Pacific Terminals LLC, Rangeland Pipeline Company, Rangeland Marketing Company, Rangeland Northern Pipeline Company, Rangeland Pipeline Partnership and Aurora Pipeline Company, Ltd.

The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial information reflects the Parent’s separate accounts, the combined accounts of the Guarantor Subsidiaries, the combined accounts of the Parent’s Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, the combined consolidating adjustments and eliminations and the Parent’s consolidated accounts for the dates and periods indicated. For purposes of the following condensed consolidating information, the Parent’s investments in its subsidiaries and the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ investments in their subsidiaries are accounted for under the equity method of accounting:
