PLAINS ALL AMERICAN PIPELINE, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
Note 1Organization and Accounting Policies
Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (PAA) is a Delaware limited partnership formed in
September 1998. Our operations are conducted directly and indirectly through our primary operating
subsidiaries, Plains Marketing, L.P., Plains Pipeline, L.P. and Plains Marketing Canada, L.P. We
are engaged in interstate and intrastate crude oil transportation, and crude oil gathering,
marketing, terminalling and storage, as well as the marketing and storage of liquefied petroleum
gas and other natural gas related petroleum products. We refer to liquefied petroleum gas and other
natural gas related petroleum products collectively as LPG. We own an extensive network of
pipeline transportation, terminalling, storage and gathering assets in key oil producing basins,
transportation corridors and at major market hubs in the United States and Canada. In the third
quarter of 2006 we completed an acquisition that represents our initial entry into the refined
products transportation business (See Note 3). In addition, through our 50% equity ownership in
PAA/Vulcan Gas Storage, LLC (PAA/Vulcan), we are engaged in the development and operation of
natural gas storage facilities. Investments in 50% or less owned affiliates, over which we have
significant influence, such as PAA/Vulcan, are accounted for by the equity method. We evaluate our equity investments
for impairment in accordance with APB 18: The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common
Stock. An impairment of an equity investment results when factors indicate that the investments
fair value is less than its carrying value and the reduction in value is other than temporary in
nature.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes present (i) our
consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, (ii) the results of
our consolidated operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005,
(iii) our consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, (iv) our
consolidated changes in partners capital for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, (v) our
consolidated comprehensive income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and
2005, and (vi) our changes in consolidated accumulated other comprehensive income for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006. The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions for interim reporting as prescribed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. All
adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) that in the opinion of management
were necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have been reflected. All
significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. Certain reclassifications are made to
prior periods to conform to current period presentation. The results of operations for the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 should not be taken as indicative of the results to be expected for
the full year. The consolidated interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with our
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto presented in our 2005 Annual Report on Form
10-K.
Note 2Trade Accounts Receivable
The majority of our trade accounts receivable relates to our gathering and marketing
activities, which can generally be described as high volume and low margin activities. As is
customary in the industry, a portion of these receivables is reflected net of payables to the same
counterparty based on contractual agreements. We routinely review our trade accounts receivable
balances to identify past due amounts and analyze the reasons such amounts have not been collected.
In many instances, such uncollected amounts involve billing delays and discrepancies or disputes as
to the appropriate price, volume or quality of crude oil delivered, received or exchanged. We also
attempt to monitor changes in the creditworthiness of our customers as a result of developments
related to each customer, the industry as a whole and the general economy. Based on these analyses,
as well as our historical experience and the facts and circumstances surrounding certain aged
balances, we have established an allowance for doubtful trade accounts receivable as shown below.
At September 30, 2006, substantially all of our net trade accounts receivable were less than 60
days past the scheduled invoice date.
The following is a summary of the changes in our allowance for doubtful trade accounts
receivable balance (in millions):

We consider this reserve adequate; however, actual amounts may vary significantly from
estimated amounts. The discovery of previously unknown facts or
adverse developments affecting one or more
of our counterparties or the industry as a whole could adversely impact our results of operations.
Note 3Acquisitions
We completed six acquisitions during the first nine months of 2006 for aggregate consideration
of approximately $567 million. The aggregate consideration includes cash paid, estimated
transaction costs and assumed liabilities and net working capital items. The aggregate purchase
price is preliminary pending the resolution of working capital adjustments and the finalization of
certain estimated transaction related costs. These acquisitions include (i) 100% of the equity
interests of Andrews Petroleum and Lone Star Trucking, which provide isomerization, fractionation,
marketing and transportation services to producers and customers of natural gas liquids
(collectively, the Andrews Acquisition), (ii) crude oil gathering and transportation assets and
related contracts in South Louisiana, (iii) interests in various crude oil pipeline systems in
Canada and the U.S. including a 100% interest in the Bay
Marchand-to-Ostrica-to-Alliance (BOA) Pipeline,
various interests in the High Island Pipeline System (HIPS), and a 64.35% interest in the
Clovelly-to-Meraux (CAM) Pipeline system, and (iv) three refined products pipeline systems from
Chevron Pipe Line Company. The preliminary purchase price allocation is as follows (in millions):

The pro forma financial information was prepared based on historical financial
information, where available, and in other cases, internally prepared estimates based on
reasonable assumptions concerning historical data. |
In June 2006, Plains entered into a purchase agreement with LB Pacific, the owner of the general
partner of Pacific Energy Partners, LP (Pacific Energy), pursuant to which Plains has agreed,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the purchase agreement, to purchase from LB
Pacific (i) all of the issued and outstanding limited partner interest in Pacific Energy GP, LP,
a Delaware limited partnership and the general partner of Pacific Energy, (ii)
the sole member interest in Pacific Energy Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company and the general partner of Pacific Energy GP, LP, (iii)
approximately 5.2 million Pacific Energy common
units and (iv) approximately 5.2 million Pacific Energy subordinated units for an aggregate purchase price of
$700 million in cash. This purchase and sale will occur immediately prior to the consummation
of our merger with Pacific Energy pursuant to our Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 11,
2006. As a result of the merger, we will acquire the balance of Pacific Energys equity through
a unit-for-unit exchange in which each remaining unitholder of Pacific Energy will receive 0.77
newly issued PAA common units for each Pacific Energy common unit. The total value of the
transaction is approximately $2.4 billion, including the assumption of debt and estimated
transaction costs. The completion of the transaction remains subject to the approval of the
unitholders of PAA and Pacific Energy. The unitholder meetings are scheduled for November 9,
2006. Assuming a favorable unitholder vote, we anticipate closing the
transaction on November 15, 2006.
In November 2006, we acquired a 50% interest in
Settoon Towing, LLC (Settoon Towing) for approximately $33 million. Settoon Towing
owns and operates a fleet of 57 transport and storage barges as well
as 30 transport tugs. Its core business is the gathering and
transportation of crude oil and produced water from inland
production facilities across the Gulf Coast. We are currently
Settoons largest customer with 22 tugs and 22 tank barges under
a five-year chartering agreement, which commenced May 1, 2006.
Note 4Inventory and Linefill
Inventory primarily consists of crude oil and LPG in pipelines, storage tanks and rail cars
that is valued at the lower of cost or market, with cost determined using an average cost method.
Linefill and minimum working inventory requirements are recorded at historical cost and consist of
crude oil and LPG used to fill our pipelines such that when an incremental barrel enters a pipeline
it forces a barrel out at another location, as well as the minimum amount of crude oil necessary to
operate our storage and terminalling facilities.
Linefill and minimum working inventory requirements in third party assets are included in
Inventory (a current asset) in determining the average cost of operating inventory and applying
the lower of cost or market analysis. At the end of each period, we reclassify the linefill in
third party assets not expected to be liquidated within the succeeding twelve months out of
Inventory, at average cost, and into Inventory in Third Party Assets (a long-term asset), which
is reflected as a separate line item within other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.
In the third quarter 2006, we recognized a $5.2 million non-cash charge primarily
associated with the significant decline in oil prices and other product prices during the quarter and the related
decline in the valuation of working inventory volumes. Approximately $3.4 million of the
charge relates to crude oil linefill in pipelines owned
by third parties and the remainder relates to
LPG and other products inventory.
At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, inventory and linefill consisted of :

Note 5Debt
In October 2006, we
issued $400 million of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2017 and $600 million of
6.65% Senior Notes due 2037. The notes were sold at 99.56% and 99.17%
of face value, respectively. Interest payments are due on
January 15 and July 15 of each year.
The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of our existing
100% owned subsidiaries, except for minor subsidiaries. We intend to use the proceeds to fund the
cash portion of our proposed merger with Pacific Energy. Net proceeds in excess of the cash
portion of the merger consideration will be used to repay amounts outstanding under our credit
facilities and for general partnership purposes. If the merger with
Pacific Energy is not closed on or prior to February 15, 2007 or
the merger agreement relating to the Pacific Energy merger is
terminated earlier, we will redeem the notes at 101% of the aggregate
principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date
of redemption. In anticipation of the issuance of these notes, we had
entered into $200 million notional principal amount of U.S.
treasury locks to hedge the treasury rate portion of the interest rate on a portion of the notes.
The treasury locks were entered into at an interest rate of 4.97%. See
Note 9. Upon completion of the issuance of these notes, we terminated
the $1.0 billion acquisition bridge facility that we entered into in
July 2006 in contemplation of the Pacific Energy merger.
During May 2006, we completed the sale of $250 million aggregate principal amount of 6.70%
Senior Notes due 2036. The notes were sold at 99.82% of face value. Interest payments are due on
May 15 and November 15 of each year. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly
and severally, by all of our existing 100% owned subsidiaries, except
for minor subsidiaries. We used the proceeds to repay amounts outstanding under our credit facilities and
for general partnership purposes.

At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we have classified $212.0 million
and $155.4 million, respectively, of borrowings
under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility as short-term. These borrowings are
designated as working capital borrowings,
must be repaid within one year, and are primarily for hedged LPG and crude oil inventory and New
York Mercantile Exchange
(NYMEX) and Intercontinental exchange (ICE) margin deposits. |
|
(2) |
|
At September 30, 2006, the aggregate fair value of our fixed rate senior notes is
estimated to be approximately $1,223.6 million. |
10
In July 2006, we amended our senior unsecured revolving credit facility to increase the
aggregate capacity from $1.0 billion to $1.6 billion and the sub-facility for Canadian borrowings
from $400 million to $600 million. The amended facility can be expanded to $2.0 billion, subject
to additional lender commitments, and has a final maturity of July 2011.
Letters of Credit. In connection with our crude oil marketing, we provide certain suppliers
and transporters with irrevocable standby letters of credit to secure our obligation for the
purchase of crude oil. Our liabilities with respect to these purchase obligations are recorded in
accounts payable on our balance sheet in the month the crude oil is purchased. Generally, these
letters of credit are issued for periods of up to seventy days and are terminated upon completion
of each transaction. At September 30, 2006, we had outstanding letters of credit under our credit
facility of approximately $93 million.
Note 6Earnings Per Limited Partner Unit
Basic and diluted net income per limited partner unit is determined by dividing net income
available to limited partners by the weighted average number of limited partner units outstanding
during the period. To calculate net income available to limited partners, income is first
allocated to the general partner based on the amount of incentive distributions and the remainder
is allocated between the limited partners and the general partner based on percentage ownership in
the Partnership. EITF No. 03-06 (EITF 03-06), Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method
under FASB Statement No. 128, addresses the computation of earnings per share by entities that
have issued securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate
in dividends and earnings of the entity when, and if, it declares dividends on its common stock.
EITF 03-06 provides that in any accounting period where our aggregate net income exceeds our
aggregate distribution for such period, we are required to present earnings per unit as if all of
the earnings for the period were distributed, regardless of the pro forma nature of this allocation
and whether those earnings would actually be distributed during a particular period from an
economic or practical perspective. EITF 03-06 does not impact our overall net income or other
financial results, however, for periods in which aggregate net income exceeds our aggregate
distributions for such period, it will have the impact of reducing the earnings per limited partner
unit.
The following sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per limited partner unit.

Our LTIP awards that contemplate the issuance of common units
described in Note 8 are considered dilutive securities unless (i) vesting occurs
only upon the satisfaction of a performance condition and (ii) that
performance condition has yet to be satisfied. The dilutive
securities are reduced by a hypothetical unit repurchase based on the remaining unamortized
fair value, as prescribed by the treasury stock method in SFAS 128, Earnings per Share. |

On October 24, 2006, we declared a cash distribution of $0.75 per unit on our outstanding
common units. The distribution is payable on November 14, 2006, to unitholders of record on
November 3, 2006, for the period July 1, 2006 through September 30, 2006. The total distribution
to be paid is approximately $73 million, with approximately $61 million to be paid to our common
unitholders and approximately $1 million and $11 million to be paid to our general partner for its
general partner and incentive distribution interests, respectively.
Note 8Long-Term Incentive Plans
Our general partner has adopted the Plains All American GP LLC 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan
and the 2005 Long-Term Incentive Plan, collectively referred to as Long-Term Incentive Plans
(LTIP), for employees and directors of our
general partner and its affiliates who perform services for us.
Awards contemplated by the
LTIP include phantom units, restricted units, unit appreciation rights and unit options, as
determined by the compensation committee or the board of directors of
our general partner (each an Award). Under the
LTIP, up to 4.4 million units may be issued in satisfaction of Awards. Certain Awards may also
include distribution equivalent rights (DERs) at the discretion of the compensation committee or
the board of directors of our general partner. Subject to applicable vesting criteria, a DER entitles the grantee to a
cash payment equal to cash distributions paid on an outstanding common unit. Upon vesting, certain
of the Awards may be settled in common units or equivalent cash value at the election of our
general partner. Our general partner will be entitled to reimbursement by us for any costs incurred
in settling obligations under the LTIP.
As of September 30, 2006, there were approximately 2.2 million unvested phantom units
outstanding with a weighted average grant-date fair value of approximately $32.22 per unit. In
addition, approximately 1.6 million of these Awards include DERs. Approximately 1.5 million of the
Awards vest over a six-year period from the grant date (with performance accelerators), while the remaining awards vest
over time only if certain performance conditions are met and are forfeited after six years if the
13
performance conditions are not met. The DERs vest over time (with performance accelerators) and
terminate with the vesting or forfeiture of the related phantom units.
Our non-employee directors receive LTIP awards or cash equivalent
awards as part of their compensation. These awards vest annually in
25% increments over a four-year period and have an automatic
re-grant feature such that as they vest, an equivalent amount is
granted. The three non-employee directors who serve on our audit committee each
receive a grant of 10,000 units (vesting 2,500 units per year). The
remaining three non-employee directors each receive 5,000 units
(vesting 1,250 per year) or their cash equivalent.
We adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123(R) (revised 2004), Share Based
Payment (SFAS 123(R)) on January 1, 2006 (See Note 13 for a discussion of recent accounting
pronouncements). Under SFAS 123(R) the fair value of the Awards, which are subject to liability
classification, is calculated based on the market price of our units at the balance sheet date
adjusted for (i) the present value of any distributions that are probable of occurring on the
underlying units over the vesting period that will not be received by the award recipients and (ii)
an estimated forfeiture rate when appropriate. This fair value is then expensed over the period the
Awards are earned. In addition, we recognize compensation expense for DER payments in the period
the payment is earned.
We recognized expense related to the LTIP of approximately $10 million and $7 million during
the third quarters of 2006 and 2005, respectively, and $27 million and $17 million during
the first nine months, of 2006 and 2005,
respectively. Additionally, as of September 30, 2006, we have an accrued liability of approximately $43 million associated
with the LTIP, of which $12 million is current.
As of September 30, 2006, the weighted average remaining contractual life of our outstanding
Awards was approximately five years. Based on the September 30, 2006 fair value measurement, we
expect to recognize an additional $54 million of expense over the life of our outstanding Awards
related to the remaining unrecognized fair value. This estimate is based on the market price of our
limited partner units at the end of the period and actual amounts may differ materially as a result
of a change in market price. We estimate that the remaining fair value will be recognized in
expense in the following years (in millions):

During October 2006, our general partner adopted the Plains All American GP LLC 2006 Long-Term
Incentive Tracking Unit Plan (the 2006 Plan) and
subsequently granted approximately 0.8 million
tracking units to non-executive employees. These awards contain
performance related provisions that provide for vesting upon
achieving distribution targets of $3.50, $3.75 and $4.00 per unit,
subject to minimum service periods through 2010, but provides that
50% of the un-vested units will vest in 2012, subject to continued
employment through such period. All remaining tracking
units that have not vested by 2013 will terminate. Upon vesting, tracking units will be settled
through cash payments based on the equivalent value of an equal
number of common units. The aggregate
grant date fair value of the tracking units awarded under the 2006 Plan is approximately $24.9
million.
Note 9Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
We utilize various derivative instruments to (i) manage our exposure to commodity price risk,
(ii) engage in a controlled trading program, (iii) manage our exposure to interest rate risk and
(iv) manage our exposure to currency exchange rate risk. Our risk management policies and
procedures are designed to monitor interest rates, currency exchange
rates, NYMEX, ICE and
over-the-counter positions, as well as physical volumes, grades, locations and delivery schedules
to ensure that our hedging activities address our market risks. Our policy is to formally document
all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as our risk management
objectives and strategy for undertaking the hedge. We calculate hedge
14
effectiveness on a quarterly basis. This process includes specific identification of the hedging instrument and the hedged
transaction, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the hedging instruments effectiveness
will be assessed. Both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, we assess whether the
derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in
cash flows of the hedged items.
Summary of Financial Impact
The majority of our derivative activity is related to our commodity price risk hedging
activities. Through these activities, we hedge our exposure to price fluctuations with respect to
crude oil, LPG and natural gas as well as with respect to expected purchases, sales and
transportation of these commodities. The derivative instruments we use consist primarily of futures
and options contracts traded on the NYMEX, ICE and over-the-counter, including
commodity swap and option contracts entered into with financial institutions and other energy
companies.
The majority of the instruments that qualify for hedge accounting are cash flow hedges.
Therefore, the corresponding changes in fair value for the effective portion of the hedges are
deferred to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) and recognized in revenues or crude oil
and LPG purchases and related costs in the periods during which the underlying physical
transactions occur. Derivatives that do not qualify for hedge accounting and the portion of cash
flow hedges that is not highly effective (as defined in SFAS No. 133, Accounting For Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended (SFAS 133)) in offsetting changes in cash flows
of the hedged items are marked-to-market in revenues each period.
During the first nine months of 2006, our earnings include a net gain of approximately $80
million resulting from all derivative activities, including the change in fair value of open
derivatives and settled derivatives taken to earnings during the period. This gain includes:
|
a) |
|
A net mark-to-market gain of approximately $15 million (a $3 million loss in the first
half of the year and a $18 million gain in the third quarter of 2006), which is primarily
comprised of the net change in fair value during the period of open derivatives used to
hedge price exposure that do not qualify for hedge accounting, |
|
|
b) |
|
A net gain of approximately $66 million related to settled derivatives taken to
earnings during the period. The majority of this net gain is related to cash flow hedges
that were recognized in earnings in conjunction with the underlying physical transactions
that occurred during the first nine months of 2006, and |
|
|
c) |
|
A net loss of approximately $1 million related to terminated interest rate swaps, which
are being amortized to interest expense over the original terms of the terminated
investments. |
The following table summarizes the net assets and liabilities related to the fair value of our
open derivative positions on our consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006 and December
31, 2005, respectively (in millions):

The net asset as of September 30, 2006 includes approximately $2 million of unrealized losses
recognized in earnings and $118 million of unrealized gains on effective cash flow hedges that are
deferred to OCI. The majority of the $2 million of unrealized losses that have been recognized in
earnings relate to activities associated with our storage assets. In general, revenue from storing
crude oil is reduced in a backwardated market (when oil prices for future deliveries are lower than
for current deliveries) as there is less incentive to store crude oil from month to month. We enter
into derivative contracts,
15
including futures and options, that will offset the reduction in revenue
by generating offsetting gains in a backwardated market structure. These derivatives do not qualify
for hedge accounting because the contracts will not necessarily result in physical delivery.
At September 30, 2006, there was a total unrealized net gain of approximately $114 million
deferred to OCI. This included approximately $118 million
unrealized gains (referenced above), which predominantly
related to unrealized gains on derivatives used to hedge physical inventory in storage that receive
hedge accounting, and approximately $4 million deferred losses relating to terminated interest rate swaps, which
are being amortized to interest expense over the original terms of the terminated instruments. The
inventory hedges are mostly short futures positions that will result
in gains when futures prices fall.
These hedge gains are offset by a decrease in the physical inventory value and will be reclassed
into earnings from OCI in the same period that the underlying physical inventory is sold. The total
amount of deferred net gains recorded in OCI is expected to be reclassified to future earnings
contemporaneously with the related physical purchase or delivery of the underlying commodity or
payments of interest.
During August 2006, we entered into two treasury locks with large creditworthy financial
institutions in anticipation of a debt issuance in conjunction with our acquisition of Pacific
Energy. A treasury lock is a financial derivative instrument that
enables a company to lock in
the U.S. Treasury Note rate. The U.S. Treasury Note rate was the benchmark interest rate for our
anticipated debt issuance. The two treasury locks had a combined notional principal amount of $200
million and an effective interest rate of 4.97%. Both treasury locks mature in November 2006. The
treasury locks are qualified cash flow hedges and the changes in fair value of the treasury locks
are therefore deferred in OCI. At September 30, 2006, we had a net loss of approximately $6
million deferred in OCI related to the treasury locks. In October 2006, both treasury locks were
terminated prior to maturity for an aggregate cash payment of
$2 million in connection with the debt issuance in October 2006.
Of
the total net gain deferred in OCI at September 30, 2006, a net
gain of approximately $124
million will be reclassified into earnings in the next twelve months and the remaining net loss at
various intervals (ending in 2016 for amounts related to our terminated interest rate swaps and
2009 for amounts related to our commodity price-risk hedging). Because a portion of these amounts
is 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.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, no amounts were reclassified to earnings from
OCI in connection with forecasted transactions that were no longer considered probable of
occurring.
Note 10Related Party Transactions
Gas Hedges. PAA/Vulcan is developing a natural gas storage facility through its wholly owned subsidiary,
Pine Prairie Energy Center, LLC (Pine Prairie). Proper functioning of the Pine Prairie storage
caverns will require a minimum operating inventory contained in the caverns at all times (referred
to as base gas). It is estimated that it will require approximately 7.3 billion cubic feet of
base gas. During the first quarter of 2006, we arranged to provide the base gas for the storage
facility to Pine Prairie at a price not to exceed $8.50 per million cubic feet. In conjunction with
this arrangement, we executed hedges on the NYMEX for the relevant delivery periods of 2007, 2008
and 2009. We received a fee of approximately $1 million for our services to own and manage the
hedge positions and to deliver the natural gas.
Equity
Offerings. In March and April of 2006, we sold 3,504,672 common units, approximately 20% of which were
sold to investment funds affiliated with Kayne Anderson Capital Advisors, L.P. (KACALP). The net
proceeds were used to fund a portion of the Andrews acquisition, to reduce indebtedness and for
general partnership purposes. In addition, in July and August 2006, we sold a total of 3,720,930
common units, approximately 12.5% and 18.7% of which were sold to investment funds affiliated with
KACALP and Vulcan Capital, respectively. KAFU Holdings, L.P., which owns 20.3% of our general
partner and has a representative on our board of directors, is managed by KACALP. Vulcan Capital,
the investment arm of Paul G. Allen, and its subsidiaries own approximately 54% of our general
partner interest and has a representative on our board of directors. The proceeds from the third
quarter offering were used to fund acquisition costs, repay indebtedness under our credit facilities and for general partnership purposes.
On February 25, 2005, we issued 575,000 common units in a private placement to a subsidiary of
Vulcan Energy Corporation (Valcan Energy). The sale price was $38.13 per unit, which represented a 2.8% discount to the
closing price of the units on February 24, 2005. The sale resulted in net proceeds, including the
general partners proportionate capital contribution ($0.5 million) and net of expenses associated
with the sale, of approximately $22.3 million.
Long-Term Incentive Plans. During the third quarter of 2006, we purchased 15,105 common
units from our general partner for an average price of $46.03 per unit. The common units were used
to satisfy our obligations with respect to awards that vested under our 1998 LTIP.
Administrative
Services Agreement. On October 14, 2005, Plains All American GP LLC (GP LLC) and Vulcan Energy
entered into an Administrative Services Agreement, effective as of September 1, 2005 (the
Services Agreement). Pursuant to the Services Agreement,
GP LLC provides administrative services to Vulcan Energy for
an annual fee plus reimbursement of
certain expenses. The Services Agreement will be effective for a
period of three years, at which time it will automatically renew for
successive one-year periods unless either party provides written
notice of its intention to terminate the Services Agreement.
Effective October 1, 2006, the annual fee was increased from $650,000 to $1 million.

Note 11Commitments and Contingencies
Pipeline Releases. In January 2005 and December 2004, we experienced two unrelated releases of
crude oil that reached rivers located near the sites where the releases originated. In early
January 2005, an overflow from a temporary storage tank located in East Texas resulted in the
release of approximately 1,200 barrels of crude oil, a portion of which reached the Sabine River.
In late December 2004, one of our pipelines in West Texas experienced a rupture that resulted in
the release of approximately 4,500 barrels of crude oil, a portion of which reached a remote
location of the Pecos River. In both cases, emergency response personnel under the supervision of a
unified command structure consisting of representatives of Plains Pipeline, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA), the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and the Texas Railroad
Commission conducted clean-up operations at each site. Approximately 980 and 4,200 barrels were
recovered from the two respective sites. The unrecovered oil was removed or otherwise addressed by
us in the course of site remediation. Aggregate costs associated with the releases, including
estimated remediation costs, are estimated to be approximately $4.5 million to $5.0 million. In
cooperation with the appropriate state and federal environmental authorities, we have substantially
completed our work with respect to site restoration, subject to some ongoing remediation at the
Pecos River site. EPA has referred these two crude oil releases, as well as several other smaller
releases, to the U.S. Department of Justice for further investigation in connection with a possible
civil penalty enforcement action under the Federal Clean Water Act. We are cooperating in the
investigation. Our assessment is that it is probable we will pay penalties related to the two
releases. We have accrued the estimated loss contingency, which is included in the estimated
aggregate costs set forth above. It is reasonably possible that the loss contingency may exceed our
estimate with respect to penalties assessed by EPA; however, we have no indication from EPA or the
Department of Justice of what penalties might be sought. As a result, we are unable to estimate the
range of a reasonably possible loss contingency in excess of our accrual.
General. We, in the ordinary course of business, are a claimant and /or a defendant in various
legal proceedings. To the extent we are able to assess the likelihood of a negative outcome for
these proceedings, our assessments of such likelihood range from remote to probable. If we
determine that a negative outcome is probable and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable, we
accrue the estimated amount. We do not believe that the outcome of these legal proceedings,
individually and in the aggregate, will have a materially adverse effect on our financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Other. A pipeline, terminal or other facility may experience damage as a result of an
accident or natural disaster. These hazards can cause personal injury and loss of life, severe
damage to and destruction of property and equipment, pollution or environmental damage and
suspension of operations. We maintain insurance of various types that we consider adequate to cover
our operations and properties. The insurance covers our assets in amounts considered reasonable.
The insurance policies are subject to deductibles that we consider reasonable and not excessive.
Our insurance does not cover every potential risk associated with operating pipelines, terminals
and other facilities, including the potential loss of significant revenues. The overall trend in
the environmental insurance industry appears to be a contraction in the breadth and depth of
available coverage, while costs, deductibles and retention levels have increased. As a result of
the significant wind damage claims filed following hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Wilma, the
insurance industry has indicated that it will materially reduce the amount of coverage available
for windstorm damages. Absent a material favorable change in the insurance markets, these trends
are expected to continue as we continue to grow and expand. As a result, we anticipate that we will
elect to self-insure more of our activities or incorporate higher retention in our insurance
arrangements.
The occurrence of a significant event not fully insured, indemnified or reserved against, or
the failure of a party to meet its indemnification obligations, could materially and adversely
affect our operations and financial condition. We believe we are adequately insured for public
liability and property damage to others with respect to our operations. With respect to all of our
coverage, no assurance can be given that we will be able to maintain adequate insurance in the
future at rates we consider reasonable, or that we have established adequate reserves to the extent
that such risks are not insured.
Long-term
Contract. Effective May 1, 2006, we entered into a five-year agreement with Settoon Towing
to charter 22 inland tugboats and 22 tank barges. Annual charter costs are projected to be
approximately $22 million, subject to escalation limited by the increase in the Producer Price
IndexFinished Goods. Also, see Note 3.

Note 13Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2004, SFAS 123(R) was issued, which amends SFAS No. 123, Accounting for
Stock-Based Compensation, and establishes accounting for transactions in which an entity exchanges
its equity instruments for goods or services. This statement requires that the cost resulting from
all share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements at fair value.
Following our general partners adoption of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-05,
Determining Whether a General Partner, or the General Partners as a Group, Controls a Limited
Partnership or Similar Entity When the Limited Partners Have Certain Rights, we are part of the
same consolidated group and thus SFAS 123 (R) will be applicable to our general partners long-term
incentive plan. We adopted SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006 under the modified prospective transition
method, as defined in SFAS 123(R), and recognized a cumulative effect of change in accounting
principle of approximately $6 million. The cumulative effect adjustment represents a decrease to
our LTIP life-to-date accrued expense and related liability under our previous cash-plan,
probability-based accounting model and adjusts our aggregate liability to the appropriate
fair-value based liability as calculated under a SFAS 123(R) methodology. Our LTIPs are administered by our general partner. We are required to reimburse all costs incurred
by our general partner through LTIP settlements. As a result, our LTIP awards are classified as
liabilities under SFAS 123(R).
Under the modified
prospective transition method, we are not required to adjust our prior period financial statements
for our LTIP awards.
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 EITF
concluded that inventory purchases and sales transactions with the same counterparty should be
combined for accounting purposes if they were entered into in contemplation of each other. The EITF
provided indicators to be considered for purposes of determining whether such transactions are
entered into in contemplation of each other. Guidance was also provided on the circumstances under
which nonmonetary exchanges of inventory within the same line of business should be recognized at
fair value. EITF 04-13 became effective in reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006.
We adopted EITF 04-13 on April 1, 2006. The adoption of EITF 04-13 resulted in inventory
purchases and sales under buy/sell transactions, which historically would have been recorded gross
as purchases and sales, to be treated as inventory exchanges in our consolidated statement of operations. In conformity with EITF 04-13, prior
periods are not affected, although we have parenthetically disclosed prior period buy/sell
transactions in our consolidated statements of operations. The treatment of buy/sell transactions
under EITF 04-13 reduces both revenues and purchases on our income statement but does not impact
our financial position, net income, or liquidity.
In September 2006, the SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin
(SAB) Topic 1N, Financial
Statements - Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements When Quantifying Misstatements in
Current Year Financial Statements (SAB 108). SAB 108 addresses how the effects of prior-year
uncorrected misstatements should be considered when quantifying misstatements in current-year
financial statements. SAB 108 requires registrants to quantify misstatements using both the balance
sheet and income statement approaches and to evaluate whether either approach results in quantifying
an error that is material in light of relevant quantitative and qualitative factors. The provisions of SAB
108 will be effective for the fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006. Upon adoption, we do not
expect SAB 108 to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 2.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Introduction
The following discussion is intended to provide investors with an understanding of our
financial condition and results of our operations and should be read in conjunction with our
historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. For more detailed information
regarding the basis of presentation for the following financial information, see the Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Highlights Third Quarter and First Nine Months of 2006
Net
income for the third quarter of 2006 was approximately
$95 million, or $0.89 per diluted
limited partner unit, which is an increase of 38% and 13%, respectively, over net income of $69
million, or $0.79 per diluted limited partner unit for the third quarter of 2005. For the first
nine months of 2006, net income was approximately $239 million,
or $2.43 per diluted limited
partner unit, representing increases of 46% and 17%, respectively, over net income of approximately
$164 million, or $2.07 per limited partner unit, for the first nine months of 2005.
Earnings per limited partner unit (both basic and diluted) was reduced by $0.16 and $0.13 for the three months
ended and $0.31 and $0.12 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively, attributable to
the application of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-06, Participating Securities and the
Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128. See Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Acquisitions
We completed six transactions during the first nine months of 2006 for aggregate consideration of approximately
$567 million. During the third quarter, we completed the acquisition of (i) a 64.35% interest in the CAM
Pipeline system for a total purchase price of approximately $54 million and (ii) three refined products pipeline
systems from Chevron Pipe Line Company for approximately $65 million. See Note 3 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements.
In addition, in June 2006, we entered into a definitive agreement to purchase Pacific Energy for approximately
$2.4 billion, including the assumption of debt and estimated transaction costs. The completion of the transaction
remains subject to the approval of the unitholders of PAA and Pacific Energy. The unitholder meetings are
scheduled for November 9, 2006. Assuming a favorable unitholder vote, we anticipate closing the transaction
on November 15, 2006.
In November 2006, we acquired a 50% interest in
Settoon Towing, LLC (Settoon Towing) for approximately $33 million. Settoon Towing
owns and operates a fleet of 57 transport and storage barges as well
as 30 transport tugs. Its core business is the gathering and
transportation of crude oil and produced water from inland
production facilities across the Gulf Coast. We are currently Settoons largest customer with 22 tugs and 22 tank barges under a five year chartering agreement.
Internal Growth Projects
Capital
expenditures for expansion projects are forecast to be approximately
$310 million
during calendar 2006 of which approximately $214 million was incurred in the first nine months.
These projects include the construction and expansion of pipeline systems and crude oil and LPG
storage facilities. Following are some of the more notable projects to be undertaken in 2006

St.
James Terminal. On October 10, 2006, we announced we are proceeding with
the Phase II development of the St. James Terminal facility. The initial construction of the St. James Terminal,
referred to as the Phase I development, commenced in mid-2005 and is
21
anticipated to become operational during the first quarter of 2007 at a total cost of approximately $93 million.
Phase I consists of seven crude oil storage tanks with an aggregate shell capacity of approximately
3.5 million barrels along with the manifold and pumping system. Under the Phase II project, we
will construct approximately 2.7 million barrels of additional tankage at the facility. The Phase
II project will expand the total capacity of the facility to 6.2 million barrels and is expected to
cost approximately $64 million. We estimate that the Phase II tankage will become operational
during the first quarter of 2008.
Cushing Terminal Expansion. On September 19, 2006, we announced our Phase VI expansion of our
Cushing Terminal facility. Under the Phase VI expansion, we will construct approximately 3.4
million barrels of additional tankage at our crude oil storage and terminalling facility in
Cushing, Oklahoma. The Phase VI project will expand the total capacity of the facility to 10.8
million barrels and, including manifold modifications, is expected to cost approximately $48
million. We anticipate spending approximately $14 million of the $48
million in 2006 and the remainder in 2007. We estimate that the new tankage will become operational during the fourth quarter of
2007. The expansion is supported by multi-year lease agreements with customers.
Results of Operations
Analysis of Operating Segments
We evaluate segment performance based on segment profit and maintenance capital. We define
segment profit as revenues less (i) purchases and related costs, (ii) field operating costs and
(iii) segment general and administrative (G&A) expenses. Each of the items above excludes
depreciation and amortization. As a master limited partnership, we make quarterly distributions of
our available cash (as defined in our partnership agreement) to our unitholders. Therefore, we
look at each periods earnings before non-cash depreciation and amortization as an important
measure of segment performance. The exclusion of depreciation and amortization expense could be
viewed as limiting the usefulness of segment profit as a performance measure because it does not
account in current periods for the implied reduction in value of our capital assets, such as crude
oil pipelines and facilities, caused by aging and wear and tear. Management compensates for this
limitation by recognizing that depreciation and amortization are largely offset by repair and
maintenance costs, which mitigate the actual decline in the useful life of our principal fixed
assets. These maintenance costs are a component of field operating costs included in segment profit
or in maintenance capital, depending on the nature of the cost. Maintenance capital, which is
deducted in determining available cash, consists of capital expenditures required either to
maintain the existing operating capacity of partially or fully depreciated assets or to extend
their useful lives. Capital expenditures made to expand our existing capacity, whether through
construction or acquisition, are considered expansion capital expenditures, not maintenance
capital. 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. See Note 12 to
our Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of segment profit to consolidated income
before cumulative effect of change in accounting principle.
Pipeline Operations
As of September 30, 2006, we
owned approximately 16,000 miles of active gathering and mainline
crude oil pipelines located throughout the United States and Canada
(of which approximately 14,000
miles are included in our Pipeline segment). Our activities from pipeline operations generally
consist of transporting volumes of crude oil for a fee and third party leases of pipeline capacity
(collectively referred to as tariff activities), as well as barrel exchanges and buy/sell
arrangements (collectively referred to as pipeline margin activities). In connection with certain
of our merchant activities conducted under our gathering and marketing business, we are also
shippers on certain of our own pipelines. These transactions are conducted at published tariff
rates and eliminated in consolidation. Tariffs and other fees on our pipeline systems vary by
receipt point and delivery point. The segment profit generated by our tariff and other fee-related
activities depends on the volumes transported on the pipeline and the level of the tariff and other
fees charged as well as the fixed and variable costs of operating the pipeline. Segment profit from
our pipeline capacity leases, barrel exchanges and buy/sell arrangements generally reflect a
negotiated amount.
The following table sets forth our operating results from our Pipeline segment for the periods
indicated:

Segment G&A expenses reflect direct costs attributable to each segment and an
allocation of other expenses to the segments based on the business activities that existed
at that time. The proportional allocations by segment require judgment by management and will
continue to be based on the business activities that exist during each period. |

Volumes associated with acquisitions represent total volumes transported for the
number of days we
actually owned the assets divided by the number of days in the period. |

The aggregate of multiple systems in the West Texas/New Mexico area. |
Segment profit, our primary measure of segment performance, was driven by the following:
|
|
|
Increased volumes and related tariff revenues The increase in tariff revenues resulted
from (i) higher volumes primarily from multi-year contracts on our Basin and Capline
systems, (ii) increased volumes associated with the
acquisitions, including the BOA/CAM/HIPS systems and the refined
products systems, (iii) higher volumes on various other systems, and (iv) increased
revenues from loss allowance oil of approximately $2 million and $8 million in the third
quarter and first nine months of 2006, respectively. As is common in the industry, our
crude oil tariffs incorporate a loss allowance factor that is intended to offset losses
due to evaporation, measurement and other losses in transit. The loss allowance factor
averages approximately 0.2%, by volume. We value the variance of allowance volumes to
actual losses at the average market value at the time the variance occurred and the result
is recorded as either an increase or decrease to tariff revenues. Gains or losses on sales
of allowance oil barrels are also included in tariff revenues. |
23
|
|
|
Increased volumes and higher crude oil prices during the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 as compared to the
third quarter and first nine months of 2005 have resulted in increased revenues related to
loss allowance oil. The NYMEX averages were $70.64 and $68.26 for the third quarter and
first nine months of 2006, respectively, as compared to $63.26 and $55.51 for the third
quarter and first nine months of 2005, respectively. |
|
|
|
|
Field operating costs and general and administrative expenses Field operating costs have
increased for most categories of costs for the third quarter and first nine months of 2006
as we have continued to grow through acquisitions and expansion projects over the last year. The
most significant cost increases have been related to (i) payroll and benefits and (ii)
utilities. Utilities increased approximately $9 million for the first nine months of 2006
over the prior year period due to a variety of factors including (i) an increase in electricity
consumption related to increased volumes partially offset by lower
electricity market prices and (ii) a true-up of prior and current accruals following receipt of final
billing information upon expiration of an existing term arrangement with a significant
electricity provider. General and administrative expenses have decreased
period over period primarily
related to a decrease in the percentage of indirect costs allocated to the Pipeline segment
in the 2006 period offset by increased LTIP expenses. |
Total
revenues for our Pipeline segment increased for the
nine-month period ended
September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period ended September 30, 2005 due to a combination of
the following factors:
|
|
|
An increase in tariff activities volumes due to (i) new multi-year contracts with
shippers, (ii) the acquisition of the BOA/CAM/HIPS systems
completed during the third quarter of
2006, as well as (iii) an increase in tariff activities revenues due to loss allowance oil
(see discussion above); |
|
|
|
|
Pipeline margin activities revenues were constant for the nine-month period due to an
increase in the average NYMEX price for crude oil sold and transported on our San Joaquin
Valley (SJV) in 2006 as compared to 2005. Because the barrels that we buy and sell are
generally indexed to the same pricing indices, revenues and purchases will increase and
decrease with changes in market prices without significant changes to our margins related
to those purchases and sales. Pipeline margin activities revenues were negatively impacted
due to the adoption of EITF 04-13 which was equally offset with pipeline margin activities
purchases and does not impact segment profit (see Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial
Statements). |
Total
revenues for our Pipeline segment decreased for the three-month
period ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same period
ended September 30, 2005 due to the following factors:
|
|
|
Pipeline margin activities revenues were negatively impacted primarily due to the adoption of EITF 04-13 which was equally offset with pipeline margin activities purchases and does not impact segment profit (see Note 13 to
our Consolidated Financial Statements); partially offset by |
|
|
|
|
An increase in tariff activities volumes due to (i) new multi-year contracts with
shippers, (ii) the acquisition of the BOA/CAM/HIPS systems completed during third quarter 2006, as well as (iii) an increase in tariff activities revenues due to loss allowance oil (see discussion above).
|
Gathering, Marketing, Terminalling and Storage Operations
As of September 30, 2006, we owned approximately 39 million barrels of active above-ground
crude oil terminalling and storage facilities, approximately 16 million barrels of which relate to
our gathering, marketing, terminalling and storage segment (the
remaining approximately 23 million
barrels of tankage are associated with our pipeline transportation
operations within our Pipeline
segment). These facilities include a crude oil terminalling and storage facility at Cushing,
Oklahoma. Cushing, which we refer to as the Cushing Interchange, is one of the largest crude oil
market hubs in the United States and is the designated delivery point for New York Mercantile
Exchange, or NYMEX, crude oil futures contracts. In September 2006,
we announced our Phase VI expansion of our Cushing terminal, in which
we will construct approximately 3.4 million barrels of additional
tankage and will expand the total capacity of the facility to 10.8
million barrels. In 2005, we began construction of a 3.5 million
barrel crude oil terminal at the St. James crude oil interchange in
Louisiana, which is also a major crude oil trading location. In
October 2006, we announced we are proceeding with Phase II of the
project and will construct approximately 2.7 million barrels of
additional tankage at the facility. See Internal Growth Projects above for the current status of the
St. James and Cushing terminal projects.
On a stand-alone basis, segment profit from terminalling and storage activities is dependent
on the throughput of volumes, the volume of crude oil stored and the level of fees generated from
our terminalling and storage services. Our terminalling and storage activities are integrated with
our gathering and marketing activities and thus the level of tankage that we allocate for our
merchant activities (and therefore not available for lease to third parties) varies throughout
crude oil market cycles. In a contango market (oil prices for future deliveries are higher than for
current deliveries), we use our tankage to improve our gathering margins by storing crude oil we
have purchased at lower prices in the current month for delivery at higher prices in future months.
In a backwardated market (oil prices for future deliveries are lower than for current deliveries),
we use less storage capacity, but increased marketing margins (premiums for prompt delivery
resulting from higher demand) provide an offset to this reduced cash flow. This integration enables
us to use our storage tanks in an effort to counter-cyclically balance and hedge our gathering and
marketing activities. We believe that this combination of our terminalling and storage activities,
gathering and marketing activities and our hedging activities provides a counter-cyclical balance
that has a stabilizing effect on our results of operations and cash flows. In addition, we
supplement the counter-cyclical balance of our asset base with derivative hedging activities in an
effort to maintain a base level of margin irrespective of whether a strong or weak market exists
and, in certain circumstances, to realize incremental margin during volatile market conditions. We
also believe that this balance enables us to protect against downside risk while at the same time
providing us with upside opportunities in volatile market conditions.
24
Our revenues from gathering and marketing activities reflect the sale of gathered and
bulk-purchased crude oil and LPG volumes, as well as isomerization, fractionation, marketing and
transportation of natural gas liquids, plus the sale of additional barrels exchanged through
buy/sell arrangements entered into to supplement the margins of the gathered and bulk-purchased
volumes. Total revenues for our GMT&S segment decreased for both the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 2006 as compared to the same periods ended September 30, 2005 due to a
combination of the following factors:
|
|
|
A decrease in our third quarter 2006 GMT&S revenues due to the adoption of EITF 04-13
which was equally offset with purchases and related costs and does not impact segment
profit (see Note 13 to our Consolidated Financial Statements); offset
by |
|
|
|
|
An increase in the average NYMEX price for crude oil in 2006 as compared to 2005 (as
discussed above in Pipeline Operations). Because the barrels that we buy and sell are
generally indexed to the same pricing indices, revenues and purchases will increase and
decrease with changes in market prices without significant changes to our margins related
to those purchases and sales. |
We do not anticipate that future changes in revenues will be a primary driver of segment
profit. Generally, we expect our segment profit to increase or decrease directionally with
increases or decreases in our GMT&S segment volumes, which are comprised of (i) lease gathered
volumes, (ii) LPG sales and third party processing volumes and (iii) waterborne foreign crude
imported. In addition, the execution of our risk management strategies in conjunction with our
assets can provide upside in certain markets. Although we believe that the combination of our lease
gathered business, our storage assets and our hedging activities provides a counter-cyclical balance
that provides stability in our margins, these margins are not fixed and may vary from period to
period.
In order to evaluate the performance of this segment, management focuses on the following
metrics: (i) segment profit, (ii) GMT&S segment volumes and (iii) segment profit per barrel
calculated on these volumes. The following table sets forth our operating results from our GMT&S
segment for the comparable periods indicated:

Volumes associated with acquistions represent total volumes for the number of days

Segment profit for the third quarter and first nine months of 2006 exceeded the comparable
2005 period. The increase was primarily related to the following factors:
|
|
|
Acquisitions During the second quarter of 2006 we purchased Andrews Petroleum and Lone
Star Trucking, which provide isomerization, fractionation, marketing and transportation
services to producers and customers of natural gas liquids throughout the Western United
States. In addition, during the second quarter we purchased crude oil gathering and
transportation assets and related contracts in South Louisiana. See Note 3 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements. These assets have partially contributed to the increase in crude oil
lease gathered and LPG sales and third party processing volumes. |
|
|
|
|
Favorable market conditions and execution of our risk management strategies During the
first nine months of 2006 and 2005, the crude oil market has experienced significantly high
volatility in prices and market structure. The NYMEX benchmark price of crude oil has
ranged from $57.55 to $78.40 during the first nine months of 2006. The volatile market
allowed us to utilize risk management strategies to optimize and enhance the margins of both our
gathering and marketing and our terminalling and storage assets. The market was in contango
for most of the first nine months of 2006 and the time spread of prices averaged
approximately $1.12 versus $0.80 for the same period in 2005,
this increase in spreads was partially
offset by an increase in the cost to carry the inventory that was not only impacted by the
increase in LIBOR rates but also by the increase in NYMEX prices. Included in our GMT&S
segment profit is contango and other hedged inventory related interest expense of
approximately $14.5 and $35.9 million for the third quarter of 2006 and the first nine
months of 2006, respectively, which is included in Purchases and related costs in the table
above. |
|
|
|
|
SFAS 133 mark-to-market The third quarter and first nine months of 2006 include SFAS
133 mark-to-market gains of $17.9 million and $14.8 million, respectively, compared to a
gain of $6.3 million and a loss of $20.0 million for the comparable 2005 periods. |
|
|
|
|
Inventory Adjustment In the third quarter 2006, we recognized a $5.2 million
non-cash charge primarily associated with the significant decline in oil prices and other
product prices during the quarter and the related decline in the valuation of working
inventory volumes. Approximately $3.4 million of the charge relates to crude oil linefill
in pipelines owned by third parties and the remainder relates to LPG and other products
inventory. |
|
|
|
|
Field operating costs and general and administrative expenses Partially offsetting these
factors are increased field operating costs and general and
administrative expenses of $19 million and $50 million for the three-
and nine-month periods. Costs have increased primarily as a result of acquisitions in 2006. In addition, the third quarter of 2006 and the nine
months ended September 30, 2006 include approximately
$4 million and $12 million,
respectively, of costs |
26
|
|
|
that are primarily related to third-party trucking transportation
services, which were classified as Purchases and related costs in the 2005
period. The increase in general and administrative expenses is primarily the result of (i) an
increase in the percentage of indirect costs allocated to the GMT&S segment in the 2006
period as the operations have grown and (ii) LTIP expenses. |
Segment profit per barrel (calculated based on our GMT&S volumes included in the table above)
was $1.18 for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, compared to $0.92 for the quarter ended
September 30, 2005. Segment profit per barrel was $1.00 for the first nine months of 2006,
compared to $0.65 for the first nine months of 2005. As discussed above, our current period results
were strongly impacted by favorable market conditions. We are not able to predict with any
reasonable level of accuracy whether market conditions will remain as favorable as have recently
been experienced, and these operating results may not be indicative of sustainable performance.
Other Expenses
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $4 million for the third quarter of 2006 and
$9 million for the first nine months of 2006 compared to the comparable 2005 periods primarily as a
result of continued expansion in our asset base from acquisitions and internal growth projects.
Amortization of debt issue costs totaled approximately $2 million for the first nine months of 2006
and was relatively constant compared to the same period in 2005.
Interest Expense
Interest expense is primarily impacted by:
|
|
|
our average debt balances; |
|
|
|
|
the level and maturity of fixed rate debt and interest rates associated therewith; and |
|
|
|
|
market interest rates and our interest rate hedging activities on floating rate debt. |
Interest expense increased
approximately 23% and 18% in the third quarter and first nine
months of 2006, respectively, as compared to the third quarter and first nine months of 2005,
primarily due to higher average debt balances during 2006 partially
offset by increased capitalized interest associated with certain capital projects
under construction. The higher average debt balance in the
first nine months of 2006 was primarily related to the addition of $250 million of senior notes. Our financial growth strategy is to fund our
acquisitions using a balance of debt and equity.
Interest costs attributable to borrowings for inventory stored in a contango market are
included in purchases and related costs in our GMT&S segment profit as we consider interest on
these borrowings a direct cost to storing the inventory. These borrowings are primarily under our
senior secured hedged inventory facility. These costs were approximately $14.5 million and $35.9
million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2006, respectively. These costs
were approximately $7.2 million and $16.4 million for the third quarter and first nine months of
2005, respectively.
Outlook
This section identifies certain matters of risk and uncertainty that may affect our financial
performance and results of operations in the future.
Ongoing Acquisition Activities. Consistent with our business strategy, we are continuously
engaged in discussions regarding potential acquisitions by us of transportation, gathering,
terminalling or storage assets and related midstream businesses. These acquisition efforts often
involve assets which, if acquired, could have a material effect on our financial condition and
results of operations. In an effort to prudently and economically leverage our asset base,
knowledge base and skill sets, management has also expanded its efforts to encompass midstream
businesses outside of the scope of our historical operations. We are presently engaged in
discussions and negotiations with various parties regarding the acquisition of assets and
businesses, but we can give no assurance that our current or future acquisition efforts will be
successful or that any such acquisition will be completed on terms considered favorable to us. See
Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In June 2006, Plains entered into a purchase
agreement with LB Pacific, the owner of the general partner of
Pacific Energy Partners, LP (Pacific Energy), pursuant to which Plains
has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the purchase agreement, to purchase from LB Pacific (i) all of the issued
and outstanding limited partner interest in Pacific Energy GP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership and the general partner of Pacific
Energy, (ii) the sole member interest in Pacific Energy Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the general partner of
Pacific Energy GP, LP, (iii) 5.2 million Pacific Energy common units and (iv) 5.2 million Pacific Energy subordinated units for an
aggregate purchase price of $700 million in cash. This purchase and sale will occur immediately prior to the consummation of our merger
with Pacific Energy pursuant to our Agreement and Plan of Merger dated June 11, 2006. As a result of the merger, we will acquire the
balance of Pacific Energys equity through a unit-for-unit exchange in which each remaining unitholder of Pacific Energy will receive 0.77
newly issued PAA common units for each Pacific Energy common unit. The total value of the transaction is approximately $2.4 billion,
including the assumption of debt and estimated transaction costs. The completion of the transaction remains subject to the approval of the
unitholders of PAA and Pacific Energy. The unitholder meetings are scheduled for November 9, 2006. Assuming a favorable unitholder vote,
we anticipate closing the transaction on November 15, 2006.
Longer-Term Outlook. In our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005,
we identified certain trends, factors and developments, many of which are beyond our control, that
may affect our business in the future. We believe that the collective
impact of these various trends,
factors and developments has resulted in a crude oil market with high volatility that is subject
to more frequent short-term swings in market prices and grade differentials and shifts in market
structure. In an environment of reduced inventories and tight supply and demand balances, even
relatively minor supply disruptions can cause significant price swings, which were evident in 2005
and into the first nine months of 2006. Conversely, despite a relatively balanced market on a
global basis, competition within a given region of the U.S. could cause downward pricing pressure
and significantly impact regional crude oil price differentials among crude oil grades and
locations. Although we believe our business strategy is designed to manage these trends, factors
and potential developments, and that we are strategically positioned to benefit from certain of
these developments, there can be no assurance that we will not be negatively affected.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Cash generated from operations and our credit facilities are our primary sources of liquidity.
At September 30, 2006, we had a working capital surplus of
approximately $51 million and
approximately $1.3 billion of availability under our committed
revolving credit facility and approximately $21 million of
availability under our uncommitted credit facility. Usage of
the credit facilities is subject to compliance with covenants. We believe we are currently in
compliance with all covenants.
In October 2006, we issued $400 million of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2017 and $600 million of
6.65% Senior Notes due 2037. Interest payments are due on January 15, and July 15 of each year.
The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, by all of our existing
100% owned subsidiaries, except for minor subsidiaries. We intend to use the proceeds to fund the
cash portion of our proposed merger with Pacific Energy. Net proceeds in excess of the cash
portion of the merger consideration will be used to repay amounts outstanding under our credit
facilities and for general partnership purposes. Upon completion of
the issuance of these notes, we terminated the $1.0 billion
acquisition bridge facility that we entered into in July 2006 in
contemplation of the Pacific Energy merger.
In July 2006, we amended our senior unsecured revolving credit facility to increase the
aggregate capacity from $1.0 billion to $1.6 billion and the sub-facility for Canadian borrowings
from $400 million to $600 million. The amended facility can be expanded to $2.0 billion, subject
to additional lender commitments, and has a final maturity of
July 2011.
Cash generated from operations
The crude oil market was in contango for most of the first nine months of 2006. Because we own
crude oil storage capacity, during a contango market we can buy crude oil in the current month and
simultaneously hedge the crude by selling it forward for delivery in a subsequent month. This
activity can cause significant fluctuations in our cash flow from operating activities as described
below.
The primary drivers of cash generated from our operations are (i) the collection of amounts
related to the sale of crude oil and LPG and the transportation of crude oil for a fee and (ii) the
payment of amounts related to the purchase of crude oil and LPG and other expenses, principally
field operating costs and general and administrative expenses. The cash settlement from the
purchase and sale of crude oil during any particular month typically occurs within thirty days from
the end of the
28
month, except (i) in the months that we store the purchased crude oil and hedge it
by selling it forward for delivery in a subsequent month because of contango market conditions or
(ii) in months in which we increase our share of pipeline linefill. The storage of
crude oil in periods of a contango market can have a material negative impact on our cash flows
from operating activities for the period in which we pay for and store the crude oil and a material
positive impact in the subsequent period in which we receive proceeds from the sale of the crude
oil. In the month we pay for the stored crude oil, we borrow under our credit facilities (or pay
from cash on hand) to pay for the crude oil, which negatively impacts our operating cash flow.
Conversely, cash flow from operating activities increases during the period in which we collect the
cash from the sale of the stored crude oil. Although to a lesser extent, the level of LPG
inventory stored and held for resale at period end similarly affects our cash flow from operating activities.
In periods when the market is not in contango, we typically sell our crude oil during the same
month in which we purchase it. Our accounts payable and accounts receivable generally vary
proportionately because we make payments and receive payments for the purchase and sale of crude
oil in the same month, which is the month following such activity. However, when the market is in
contango, our accounts receivable, accounts payable, inventory and short-term debt balances are all
impacted, depending on the point of the cycle at any particular period end. As a result, we can
have significant fluctuations in those working capital accounts, as we buy, store and sell crude
oil.
Cash
used for operating activities was $182 million and $450 million in the first nine
months of 2006 and 2005, respectively, and reflects cash generated by our recurring operations (as
indicated above in describing the primary drivers of cash generated from operations), offset by an
increase in the amount of inventory that has been funded under our hedged inventory facility or as
a working capital borrowing on our revolving credit facilty during 2006. A significant portion of
the increased inventory has been purchased and stored due to contango market conditions and was
paid for during the period via borrowings under our credit facilities or from cash on hand. As
mentioned above, this activity has a negative impact in the period that we pay for and store the
inventory. The fluctuations in our accounts receivable, inventory and accounts payable accounts
during the period vary proportionally along with the fluctuations in our short-term debt balances.
Cash provided by equity and debt financing activities
We periodically access the capital markets for both equity and debt financing. We have filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission a universal shelf registration statement that, subject
to effectiveness at the time of use, allows us to issue from time to time up to an aggregate of $2
billion of debt or equity securities. At November 2, 2006, we had approximately $1.4 billion
remaining under this registration statement.
Cash
provided by financing activities was approximately $976 million and approximately $694
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Our financing
activities primarily relate to funding (i) acquisitions, (ii) internal capital projects and (iii)
short-term working capital and hedged inventory borrowings related to our contango market
activities. Our financing activities have primarily consisted of equity offerings, senior notes
offerings and borrowings under our credit facilities.
Equity Offerings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we completed
equity offerings totaling $316 million and $236 million,
respectively, including issuing a total of 3,720,930 common units
pursuant to our existing shelf registration
statement in a direct placement to a group of entities affiliated with institutional and private
investors in the third quarter of 2006. See Note 7 Partners Capital and Distributions and Note 10 Related Party
Transactions.
Senior Notes and Credit Facilities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005
we completed the sale of senior unsecured notes as summarized in the table below (in millions):

During the nine months
ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, we had working capital and
short-term hedged inventory net borrowings of approximately $615 million and $601 million,
respectively. These borrowings were used primarily for purchases of crude oil inventory that was
stored. See Cash generated from operations. We also
had $8 million of net
29
long-term
repayments under our revolving credit facility in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and net repayments
under our long-term revolving credit facilities of approximately $144 million in the nine months
ended September 30, 2005.
Capital Expenditures and Distributions Paid to Unitholders and General Partners
We have made and will continue to make capital expenditures for acquisitions, expansion
capital and maintenance capital. We finance these expenditures primarily with cash generated by
operations and the financing activities discussed above. Our primary uses of cash are for our
acquisition activities, capital expenditures for internal growth projects and distributions paid to
our unitholders and general partner. See Acquisitions and Internal Growth Projects. The purchase
price of the acquisitions includes cash paid, transaction costs and assumed liabilities and net
working capital items. Because of the non-cash items included in the total purchase price of the
acquisitions and the timing of certain cash payments, the net cash paid may differ significantly
from the total purchase price of the acquisitions completed during the year.
Distributions to unitholders and general partner. We distribute 100% of our available cash
within 45 days after the end of each quarter to unitholders of record and to our general partner.
Available cash is generally defined as all of our cash and cash equivalents on hand at the end of
each quarter less reserves established for future requirements in the discretion of our general
partner. Total cash distributions made during the first nine months of 2006 and 2005 were $189
million and $142 million, respectively. In addition, on October 24, 2006, we declared a cash
distribution totaling $73 million to be paid on November 14, 2006. See Note 7 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements.
Contingencies
See Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Commitments
Letters of Credit. In connection with our crude oil marketing, we provide certain suppliers
and transporters with irrevocable standby letters of credit to secure our obligation for the
purchase of crude oil. Our liabilities with respect to these purchase obligations are recorded in
accounts payable on our balance sheet in the month the crude oil is purchased. Generally, these
letters of credit are issued for periods of up to seventy days and are terminated upon completion
of each transaction. At September 30, 2006, we had outstanding letters of credit under our credit
facility of approximately $93 million.
Other.
Effective May 1, 2006, we entered into a five-year agreement with Settoon Towing to charter 22 inland tugboats and 22 tank barges. Annual charter costs are
projected to be approximately $22 million, subject to escalation limited by the increase in the
Producer Price IndexFinished Goods.

Interest Rate Risk
We use both fixed and variable rate debt, and are exposed to market risk due to the floating
interest rates on our credit facilities. Therefore, from time to time we use interest rate swaps,
collars and treasury locks to hedge interest obligations on specific debt issuances, including
anticipated debt issuances. As of September 30, 2006, we had
$200 million notional principal amount of U.S. treasury locks outstanding that
we entered into in anticipation of a debt issuance in conjunction with our acquisition of Pacific
Energy. The treasury locks are carried at fair value based on the U.S. Treasury 10-year yield in effect at September 30, 2006. The fair value of our
outstanding interest rate derivatives at September 30, 2006 was a
liability of $5.6 million and the change in
fair value that would be expected from a 100 basis point rate decrease would increase the
fair value of the liability by $17.1 million. In October 2006, both treasury locks were terminated for an
aggregate cash payment of $2 million in conjunction with the underlying anticipated debt
issuance. Also, see Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain written disclosure controls and procedures, which we refer to as our DCP. The
purpose of our DCP is to provide reasonable assurance that information is (i) recorded, processed,
summarized and reported in a manner that allows for timely disclosure of such information in
accordance with the securities laws and SEC regulations and (ii) accumulated and communicated to
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow for timely
decisions regarding required disclosure.
32
Applicable SEC rules require an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our DCP. Management, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of
our DCP as of September 30, 2006, and has found our DCP to be effective in providing reasonable
assurance of the timely recording, processing, summarization and reporting of information, and in
accumulation and communication of information to management to allow for timely decisions with
regard to required disclosure.
In addition to the information concerning our DCP, we are required to disclose certain changes
in our internal control over financial reporting (internal control) that occurred during the
third quarter and that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our
internal control. In the process of documenting and testing our internal control in connection with
compliance with Rule 13a-15(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (required by
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) we have made changes, and will continue to make
changes, to refine and improve our internal control. However, as a result of their evaluation of
changes in internal control, management identified no changes during the third quarter of 2006 that
materially affected, or would be reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control.
The certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer pursuant to
Exchange Act rules 13a-14(a) and 15d-14(a) are filed with this report as Exhibits 31.1 and 31.2.
The certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer pursuant to 18 U.S.C.
1350 are furnished with this report as Exhibits 32.1 and 32.2.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
See Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Item 1A. RISK FACTORS
For a
discussion regarding our risk factors, see Item 1A of our 2005
Annual Report on Form 10-K and Item 1A of our Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones facing us and there may be additional matters
that we are unaware of or that we currently consider immaterial. All of these risks and
uncertainties could adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or results of
operations, as could the following:
Our
tax treatment depends on our status as a partnership for U.S. and
Canadian federal
income tax purposes, as well as our not being subject to a material
amount of entity-level taxation by individual states. If the IRS were
to treat us as a corporation or if we become subject to a material
amount of entity-level taxation for state tax purposes, it would
substantially reduce the amount of cash available to pay our debt
obligations.
If
we were treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we
would pay federal income tax on our income at the corporate tax rate,
which is currently a maximum of 35%, and would likely pay state
income tax at varying rates. Because a tax would be imposed upon us
as a corporation, the cash available for distributions or to pay our debt obligations
would be substantially reduced.
Current
law may change so as to cause us to be treated as a corporation for
federal income tax purposes or otherwise subject us to entity-level
taxation. In addition, because of widespread state budget deficits,
several states are evaluating ways to subject partnerships to
entity-level taxation through the imposition of state income,
franchise or other forms of taxation. For example, we will be subject
to a new entity level tax on the portion of our income that is
generated in Texas beginning in our tax year ending in 2007. Specifically, the Texas margin tax will
be imposed at a maximum effective rate of 0.7% of our gross income
apportioned to Texas. Imposition of such a tax upon us as an entity by
Texas or any other state will reduce the cash available for
distributions or to pay our
debt obligations.
In addition, in response to the perceived proliferation of
income trusts in Canada, the Canadian government recently
announced a proposed plan to impose entity-level taxes on certain
types of flow-through entities. At this point, it is not clear
whether the changes to the tax law, if implemented, would apply to
our Canadian subsidiaries. Any entity-level taxation of our Canadian
subsidiaries would reduce the cash available for distributions or to
pay our debt obligations.
