SUNOCO LOGISTICS PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
1. Basis of Presentation
Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (the Partnership) is a publicly traded Delaware limited
partnership formed by Sunoco, Inc. (Sunoco) in October 2001 to acquire a substantial portion of
Sunocos logistics business. The Partnership owns and operates a geographically diverse portfolio
of complementary assets, consisting of refined product pipelines, terminalling and storage assets,
crude oil pipelines, and crude oil acquisition and marketing assets located in the Northeast,
Midwest and South Central United States.
The consolidated financial statements reflect the results of Sunoco Logistics Partners
L.P. and its wholly-owned partnerships, including Sunoco Logistics Partners Operations L.P. (the
Operating Partnership). Equity ownership interests in corporate joint ventures, which are not
consolidated, are accounted for under the equity method.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance
with the requirements of Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States for interim financial reporting. They do not include all disclosures normally made in
financial statements contained in Form 10-K. In managements opinion, all adjustments necessary for
a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods
shown have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Results for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2006 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full
year 2006.
2. Acquisitions
Mid-Valley Pipeline Acquisition
On August 21, 2006, the Partnership purchased from Sunoco a 100 percent interest in Sun Pipe
Line Company of Delaware LLC, the owner of a 55.3 percent equity interest in Mid-Valley Pipeline
Company (Mid-Valley) for $65 million, subject to certain adjustments five years following the
date of closing, based upon performance of Sunoco. Mid-Valley owns a 994-mile pipeline, which originates in Longview, Texas and
terminates in Samaria, Michigan, and has operating capacity of
approximately 238,000 barrels per day and 4.2
million barrels of shell storage capacity. Mid-Valley provides crude oil to a number of
refineries, primarily in the Midwest United States. The Partnership will continue to be the
operator of the Mid-Valley pipeline.
The purchase price of the acquisition was initially funded with $46.0 million in borrowings
under the Partnerships Credit Facility and with cash on hand, and has been included in the Western
Pipeline System business segment. Since the acquisition was from a related party, the interest in
the entity was recorded by the Partnership at Sunocos historical cost of $12.5 million and the
$52.5 million difference between the purchase price and the cost basis of the assets was recorded
by the Partnership as a capital distribution. The results of the acquisition are included in the
financial statements from the date of acquisition.
Millennium and Kilgore Pipeline Acquisition
On March 1, 2006, the Partnership purchased a Texas crude oil pipeline system from affiliates
of Black Hills Energy, Inc. for approximately $40.9 million. The system consists of (a) the
Millennium Pipeline, a 200-mile, 12-inch crude oil pipeline with
approximately 65,000 barrels per day operating
capacity, originating near the Partnerships Nederland Terminal, and terminating at Longview Texas;
(b) the Kilgore Pipeline, a 190-mile, 10-inch crude oil pipeline with approximately 35,000 barrels per day
capacity originating in Kilgore, Texas and terminating at refineries in the Houston, Texas region;
(c) approximately 800,000 shell barrels of storage capacity at Kilgore, and Longview, Texas,
approximately 340,000 of which are active; (d) a crude oil sales and marketing business; and (e) crude oil line
fill and working inventory.
The purchase price of the acquisition was initially funded with borrowings under the
Partnerships Credit Facility, and has been included in the Western Pipeline System business
segment. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets acquired based on their relative fair
values at the acquisition date. The following is a summary of the effects of the transaction on the
Partnerships consolidated financial position (in thousands of dollars):

Amdel and White Oil Pipeline Acquisition
On March 1, 2006, the Partnership also acquired a Texas crude oil pipeline system from Alon
USA Energy, Inc. for approximately $68.0 million. The system consists of (a) the Amdel Pipeline, a
503-mile, 10-inch common carrier crude oil pipeline with approximately 27,000 barrels per day operating capacity,
originating at the Nederland Terminal, and terminating at Midland, Texas, and (b) the White Oil
Pipeline, a 25-mile, 10-inch crude oil pipeline with approximately 40,000 barrels per day operating capacity,
originating at the Amdel Pipeline and terminating at Alons Big Spring, Texas refinery. Alon has
also agreed to ship a minimum of 15,000 barrels per day on the pipelines under a 10-year,
throughput and deficiency agreement. The pipelines were idle at the time of purchase and were
re-commissioned by the Partnership during the second quarter 2006. The pipelines are currently
being filled and are expected to begin making deliveries during the fourth quarter 2006. The
Partnership also began construction to expand capacity on the Amdel Pipeline from approximately 27,000 to 40,000
barrels per day, which it expects to be completed by the first quarter of 2007, and to construct
new tankage at the Nederland Terminal to service these new volumes more efficiently. The purchase
price of the acquisition was initially funded with borrowings under the Partnerships Credit
Facility, and has been allocated to property, plants and equipment based on the relative fair value
of the assets acquired on the acquisition date within the Western Pipeline System business segment.
Mesa Pipe Line System Interest Acquisition
On December 5, 2005, the Partnership purchased a subsidiary of Sunoco which owned a 7.2
percent undivided interest in the Mesa Pipe Line system for approximately $1.3 million. The Mesa
Pipe Line system consists of an 80-mile, 24-inch crude oil pipeline from Midland, Texas to Colorado
City, Texas, with an operating capacity of approximately 316,000 barrels per day, and approximately 800,000
barrels of tankage at Midland. The Mesa pipeline connects to the West Texas Gulf pipeline, which
supplies crude oil to the Mid-Valley pipeline. On December 29, 2005, the Partnership purchased an
additional 29.8 percent interest in Mesa from Chevron for $5.3 million, increasing its combined
interest to 37.0 percent. The purchase prices of the acquisitions were initially funded with $6.6
million of borrowings under the Partnerships Credit Facility, and were allocated on a preliminary
basis to property, plants and equipment within the Western Pipeline System business segment. The
results of the acquisitions are included in the financial statements from the dates of acquisition.
The Partnership and Plains All American Pipeline are the owners of the undivided interest in
Mesa. On April 21, 2006, the Partnership and Plains All American Pipeline agreed to extend the Mesa
operating agreement, previously scheduled to expire on June 30, 2006, until December 31, 2009.
Corsicana to Wichita Falls Pipeline Acquisition
On August 1, 2005, the Partnership purchased, from an affiliate of Exxon Mobil Corporation, a
crude oil pipeline system and storage facilities located in Texas for $100.0 million. The pipeline
system consists primarily of a 187-mile, 16-inch pipeline with an operating capacity of approximately 125,000
barrels per day. It originates at a crude oil terminal in Corsicana, Texas and terminates at
Wichita Falls, Texas. The storage facilities include the Corsicana terminal, which has 2.9 million
barrels of shell capacity for crude oil, and the Ringgold, Texas terminal, which consists of 0.5
million barrels of shell capacity for crude oil. In addition, the Partnership invested
approximately $16.0 million in 2005 to construct a new 20-mile, 24-inch pipeline to connect the
Corsicana to Wichita Falls pipeline to the West Texas Gulf pipeline, in which the Partnership has a
43.8% ownership interest. The purchase price of the acquisition was initially funded with $75.0
million of borrowings under the Partnerships Credit Facility and $25.0 million of cash on hand.
In August 2005, $56.5 million of proceeds were raised in an offering of common units (see Note 9),
and were used to pay down a portion of these borrowings on the Credit Facility. The purchase price
was allocated to property, plants and equipment within the Western Pipeline System business
segment. The results of the acquisition are included in the financial statements from the date of
acquisition.

Syracuse Terminal Acquisition
On April 17, 2006, the Partnership signed a definitive agreement to purchase a 50
percent interest in a refined products terminal located in Syracuse, New York from Mobil Pipe Line
Company, an affiliate of Exxon Mobil Corporation. Total terminal storage is approximately 550
thousand barrels. The transaction is subject to normal conditions to closing for assets of this
nature. Closing is now expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2006.
3. Related Party Transactions
Advances To and From Affiliates
The Partnership has a treasury services agreement with Sunoco pursuant to which it, among
other things, participates in Sunocos centralized cash management program. Under this program, all
of the Partnerships cash receipts and cash disbursements are processed, together with those of
Sunoco and its other subsidiaries, through Sunocos cash accounts with a corresponding credit or
charge to an intercompany account. The intercompany balances are settled periodically, but no less
frequently than monthly. Amounts due from Sunoco earn interest at a rate equal to the average rate
of the Partnerships third-party money market investments, while amounts due to Sunoco bear
interest at a rate equal to the interest rate provided in the Partnerships revolving credit
facility (see Note 6).
Selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of
income include costs incurred by Sunoco for the provision of certain centralized corporate
functions such as legal, accounting, treasury, engineering, information technology, insurance and
other corporate services, including the administration of employee benefit plans. These are
provided to the Partnership under an omnibus agreement (Omnibus Agreement) with Sunoco for an
annual administrative fee. The fee for the annual period ended December 31, 2005 was $8.4 million.
In January 2006, the parties extended the term of Section 4.1 of the Omnibus Agreement (which
concerns the Partnerships obligation to pay the annual fee for provision of certain general and
administrative services) by one year. The annual administrative fee applicable to this one-year
extension is $7.7 million, which reflects the Partnership directly incurring some of these general
and administrative costs. These costs may be increased if the acquisition or construction of new
assets or businesses requires an increase in the level of general and administrative services
received by the Partnership. There can be no assurance that Section 4.1 of the Omnibus Agreement
will be extended beyond 2006, or that, if extended, the administrative fee charged by Sunoco will
be at or below the current administrative fee. In the event that the Partnership is unable to
obtain such services from Sunoco or third parties at or below the current cost, the Partnerships
financial condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted.
The annual administrative fee does not include the costs of shared insurance programs,
which are allocated to the Partnership based upon its share of the cash premiums incurred. This fee
also does not include salaries of pipeline and terminal personnel or other employees of the general
partner, or the cost of their employee benefits. These employees are employees of the Partnerships
general partner or its affiliates, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sunoco. The Partnership
has no employees. Allocated Sunoco employee benefit plan expenses for employees who work in the
pipeline, terminalling, storage and crude oil gathering operations, including senior executives,
include non-contributory defined benefit retirement plans, defined contribution 401(k) plans,
employee and retiree medical, dental and life insurance plans, incentive compensation plans, and
other such benefits. The Partnership is reimbursing Sunoco for these costs and other direct
expenses incurred on its behalf. These expenses are reflected in cost of products sold and
operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated
statements of income.
Accounts Receivable, Affiliated Companies
Affiliated revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of income consist of sales
of crude oil as well as the provision of crude oil and refined product pipeline transportation,
terminalling and storage services to Sunoco, Inc. (R&M) (Sunoco R&M). Sales of crude oil are
computed using the formula-based pricing mechanism of a supply agreement with Sunoco R&M.
Management of the Partnership believes these terms in the aggregate to be comparable to those that
could be negotiated with an unrelated third party. Pipeline revenues are generally determined using
posted tariffs. The Partnership has throughput agreements with Sunoco R&M under which the
Partnership is charging Sunoco R&M fees for services provided under these agreements comparable to
those charged in arms-length, third-party transactions. Under these agreements, Sunoco R&M has
agreed to pay the Partnership a minimum level of revenues for transporting and terminalling refined
products and crude oil for the period specified in the agreements.
Under other agreements between the parties, Sunoco R&M is, among other things, purchasing
from the Partnership, at market-based rates, particular grades of crude oil that the Partnerships
crude oil acquisition and marketing business purchases for delivery to certain pipelines. These
agreements automatically renew on a monthly basis unless terminated by either party on 30 days
written notice. Sunoco R&M also leases the Partnerships 58 miles of interrefinery pipelines
between Sunoco R&Ms Philadelphia and Marcus Hook refineries for a term of 20 years, ending in
2022.

Capital Contributions
The Partnership has agreements with Sunoco R&M which requires Sunoco R&M to, among other
things, reimburse the Partnership for certain expenditures. These agreements include:
|
|
|
the Omnibus Agreement, which requires Sunoco R&M to, among other things, reimburse the
Partnership for any operating expenses and capital expenditures in excess of $8.0 million
per year in each calendar year from 2002 to 2006 that are made to comply with the DOTs
pipeline integrity management rule, subject to a maximum aggregate reimbursement of $15.0
million over the five-year period ending December 31, 2006. For the nine months ended
September 2006, the Partnership received $0.4 million under
this arrangement. The Partnership has received a cumulative
reimbursement of $12.1 million under this arrangement; |
|
|
|
|
the Omnibus Agreement, which requires Sunoco R&M to, among other things, reimburse
the Partnership for up to $10.0 million of expenditures required at the Marcus Hook Tank
Farm and the Darby Creek Tank Farm to maintain compliance with existing industry standards
and regulatory requirements. For the nine months ended September 2006, the Partnership
received $0.1 million under this arrangement and reached the $10.0 million limit; |
|
|
|
|
the Interrefinery Lease Agreement, which requires Sunoco R&M to reimburse the
Partnership for any non-routine maintenance expenditures incurred, as defined, during the
term of the agreement; and |
|
|
|
|
the Eagle Point purchase agreement, which requires Sunoco R&M to reimburse the
Partnership for certain maintenance capital and expenses incurred regarding the assets
acquired, as defined, up to $5.0 million through March 2014. The Partnership has received
$1.1 million to date under this agreement. |
These expenditures, which were recorded as maintenance capital and operating expenses,
were as follows (in thousands of dollars):

The reimbursement of these amounts was recorded by the Partnership as capital
contributions to Partners Capital within the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30,
2006.
In May 2006, the Partnership sold 2.4 million common units in a public offering. In June 2006,
the Partnership sold an additional 280,000 common units to cover over-allotments in connection with
the May 2006 sale (see Note 9). As a result of this issuance of 2.680 million common units, the
general partner contributed $2.4 million to the Partnership to maintain its 2.0 percent general
partner interest. The Partnership recorded this amount as a capital contribution to Partners
Capital within its condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In August 2005, the Partnership sold 1.5 million common units in a public offering. In
September 2005, the Partnership sold an additional 125,000 common units to cover over-allotments in
connection with the August 2005 sale. As a result of this issuance of 1.625 million common units,
the general partner contributed $1.3 million to the Partnership to maintain its 2.0 percent general
partner interest. The Partnership recorded this amount as a capital contribution to Partners
Capital within its condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In February 2006 and 2005, the Partnership issued 0.1 million and 0.2 million common
units, respectively, to participants in the Sunoco Partners LLC Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
upon completion of award vesting requirements. As a result of these issuances of common units, the
general partner contributed $0.1 million in each period to the Partnership to maintain its 2.0
percent general partner interest. The Partnership recorded these amounts as capital contributions
to Partners Capital within its condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Asset Acquisition
On August 21, 2006, the Partnership acquired a subsidiary of Sunoco, which owned a 55.3
percent equity interest in the Mid-Valley Pipeline Company (Mid-Valley) for $65 million, subject
to certain adjustments five years following the date of
10
closing (see Note 2). Since the
acquisition was from a related party, the interest in the entity was recorded by the Partnership
at Sunocos historical cost of $12.5 million and the $52.5 million difference between the
purchase price and the cost basis of the assets was recorded by the Partnership as a capital
distribution.
On December 5, 2005, the Partnership acquired a subsidiary of Sunoco, which owned a 7.2
percent undivided interest in the Mesa Pipe Line system for approximately $1.3 million (see Note
2). Since the acquisition was from a related party, the interest in the entity was recorded by the
Partnership at Sunocos historical cost of $0.2 million, and the $1.1 million difference between
the purchase price and the cost basis of the assets was recorded by the Partnership as a capital
distribution.
Redemption of Common Units
In May and June 2005, the Partnership sold a total of 2.775 million common units in a
public offering. The net proceeds from the sale were used to redeem 2.775 million common units
owned by Sunoco for $99.6 million. Also in connection with the equity offering, Sunoco agreed to
reimburse the Partnership for transaction costs incurred by the Partnership. Reimbursement of these
costs of $0.4 million occurred during the third quarter of 2005 when the transaction costs were
finalized, and the reimbursement was accounted for as an increase to Partners Capital within the
Partnerships condensed consolidated balance sheet.
Conversion of Subordinated Units
A total of 5,691,820 subordinated limited partner units, equal to one-half of the
originally issued subordinated units held by the general partner, were converted to common units,
2,845,910 each on February 15, 2006 and February 15, 2005, as the Partnership met the requirements
set forth in the partnership agreement (see Note 10).
4. Net Income Per Unit Data
Basic and diluted net income per limited partner unit is calculated by dividing net
income, after deducting the amount allocated to the general partners interest, by the
weighted-average number of limited partner common and subordinated units outstanding during the
period.
The general partners interest in net income consists of its 2.0 percent general partner
interest and incentive distributions, which are increasing percentages, up to 50 percent of
quarterly distributions in excess of $0.50 per limited partner unit (see Note 10). The general
partner was allocated net income of $0.8 million (representing 4.6 percent of total net income for
the period) and $0.5 million (representing 3.4 percent of total net income for the period) for the
three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
The general partner was allocated net income of $6.3 million (representing 10.0
percent of total net income for the period) and $2.6 million (representing 5.4 percent of total net
income for the period) for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Diluted
net income per limited partner unit is calculated by dividing net income applicable to limited
partners by the sum of the weighted-average number of common and subordinated units outstanding
and the dilutive effect of incentive unit awards, as calculated by the treasury stock method.
The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the weighted average number of
limited partner units used to compute basic net income per limited partner unit to those used to
compute diluted net income per limited partner unit for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2006 and 2005:

The Partnerships investments in Wolverine, West Shore, Yellowstone, and West Texas Gulf
at September 30, 2006 include an excess investment amount of approximately $55.1 million, net of
accumulated amortization of $2.5 million. The excess investment is the difference between the
investment balance and the Partnerships proportionate share of the net assets of the entities. The
excess investment was allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets. Other than land
and indefinite-lived intangible assets, all amounts allocated, principally to pipeline and related
assets, are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of 40 years
and included within depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of
income.

Sunoco Logistics Partners Operations L.P. (the Operating Partnership), a wholly-owned
entity of the Partnership, has a $300 million Credit Facility available to fund the Operating
Partnerships working capital requirements, to finance future
12
acquisitions and for general
partnership purposes. It may also be used to fund the quarterly distribution to a maximum of $20.0
million. Borrowing under this distribution sublimit must be reduced to zero each year for a 15-day
period. The Credit Facility matures in November 2010 and may be prepaid at any time. It bears
interest at the Operating Partnerships option, at either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin or
(ii) the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent or the Citibank prime rate (each plus
the applicable margin). There were $46.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit
Facility at September 30, 2006. The Credit Facility contains various covenants limiting the
Operating Partnerships ability to incur indebtedness; grant certain liens; make certain loans,
acquisitions and investments; make any material change to the nature of its business; acquire
another company; or enter into a merger or sale of assets, including the sale or transfer of
interests in the Operating Partnerships subsidiaries. The Credit Facility also contains covenants
(each as defined in the credit agreement) requiring the Operating Partnership to maintain, on a
rolling four-quarter basis, a maximum total debt to EBITDA ratio of 4.75 to 1, which can generally
be increased to 5.25 to 1 during an acquisition period; and an interest coverage ratio of at least
3.0 to 1. The Operating Partnership is in compliance with these covenants as of September 30, 2006.
The Partnerships ratio of total debt to EBITDA was 3.0 to 1 and the interest coverage ratio was
4.6 to 1 at September 30, 2006.
On March 1, 2006, the Partnership completed its acquisition of two Texas crude oil
pipeline systems for approximately $108.9 million (see Note 2). The Partnership initially financed
these transactions with $109.5 million of borrowings under the Credit Facility. All of the $216.1
million in borrowings outstanding under the Credit Facility were repaid in May 2006 with proceeds
from the Senior Notes offering described below, together with a portion of the net proceeds from
the concurrent offering of 2.68 million limited partner common units (see Note 9).
During May 2006, the Operating Partnership issued $175 million of 6.125 percent Senior
Notes, due May 15, 2016 at 99.858 percent of the principal amount, for net proceeds of $173.3
million after the underwriters commission and legal, accounting and other transaction expenses.
The discount is amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the Senior Notes and is
included within interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Senior
Notes are redeemable, at a make-whole premium, and are not subject to sinking fund provisions. The
Senior Notes contain various covenants limiting the Operating Partnerships ability to incur
certain liens, engage in sale/leaseback transactions, or merge, consolidate or sell substantially
all of its assets. The Operating Partnership is in compliance with these covenants as of September
30, 2006. The net proceeds from the Senior Notes, together with the $110.4 million in net proceeds
from the concurrent offering of 2.68 million limited partner common units, were used to repay all
of the $216.1 million in outstanding borrowings under the
Partnerships Credit Facility. The
balance of the proceeds from the offerings are being used to fund the Partnerships organic growth
program and for general Partnership purposes, including to finance pending and future acquisitions.
On August 21, 2006, the Partnership purchased from Sunoco a 100 percent interest in Sun Pipe
Line Company of Delaware LLC, the owner of a 55.3 percent equity interest in Mid-Valley Pipeline
Company (Mid-Valley) for $65 million, subject to certain adjustments five years following the
date of closing (see Note 2). The purchase price of the acquisition was initially funded with
$46.0 million in borrowings under the Partnerships Credit Facility and with cash on hand.
The Partnership and the operating partnerships of the Operating Partnership serve as joint and
several guarantors of the Senior Notes and of any obligations under the Credit Facility. The
guarantees are full and unconditional. See Note 13 for supplemental condensed consolidating
financial information.
7. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
The Partnership is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws which regulate the
discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of the
environment. These laws and regulations result in liabilities and loss contingencies for
remediation at the Partnerships facilities and at third-party or formerly owned sites. The accrued
liability for environmental remediation in the condensed consolidated balance sheets was $0.5
million and $0.6 million as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively. There are no
liabilities attributable to unasserted claims, nor have any recoveries from insurance been assumed.
Total future costs for environmental remediation activities will depend upon, among other
things, the identification of any additional sites, the determination of the extent of any
contamination at each site, the timing and nature of required remedial actions, the technology
available and needed to meet the various existing legal requirements, the nature and extent of
future environmental laws, inflation rates and the determination of the Partnerships liability at
multi-party sites, if any, in light of uncertainties with respect to joint and several liability,
and the number, participation levels and financial viability of other parties. As discussed below,
the Partnerships future costs will also be impacted by an indemnification from Sunoco.
Sunoco has indemnified the Partnership for 30 years from environmental and toxic tort
liabilities related to the assets contributed to the Partnership that arise from the operation of
such assets prior to the closing of the Partnerships initial
13
public offering (IPO) on February
8, 2002. Sunoco has indemnified the Partnership for 100 percent of all such losses asserted within
the first 21 years of closing of the February 2002 IPO. Sunocos share of liability for claims
asserted thereafter will decrease by 10 percent a year. For example, for a claim asserted during
the twenty-third year after closing of the February 2002 IPO, Sunoco would be required to indemnify
the Partnership for 80 percent of its loss. There is no monetary cap on the amount of indemnity
coverage provided by Sunoco. The Partnership has agreed to indemnify Sunoco and its affiliates for
events and conditions associated with the operation of the Partnerships assets that occur on or
after the closing of the February 2002 IPO and for environmental and toxic tort liabilities to the
extent Sunoco is not required to indemnify the Partnership.
Sunoco has also indemnified the Partnership for liabilities, other than environmental and
toxic tort liabilities related to the assets contributed to the Partnership, that arise out of
Sunocos ownership and operation of the assets prior to the closing of the February 2002 IPO and
that are asserted within 10 years after closing of the February 2002 IPO. In addition, Sunoco has
indemnified the Partnership from liabilities relating to certain defects in title to the assets
contributed to the Partnership and associated with failure to obtain certain consents and permits
necessary to conduct its business that arise within 10 years
after closing of the February 2002 IPO as well as from liabilities relating to legal actions
pending against Sunoco or its affiliates as of February 2, 2002, or events and conditions
associated with any assets retained by Sunoco or its affiliates.
Management of the Partnership does not believe that any liabilities which may arise from
claims indemnified by Sunoco would be material in relation to the consolidated financial position
of the Partnership at September 30, 2006.
There are certain other pending legal proceedings related to matters arising after the
February 2002 IPO which are not indemnified by Sunoco. Management believes that any liabilities
that may arise from these legal proceedings will not be material in relation to the consolidated
financial position of the Partnership at September 30, 2006.
8. Management Incentive Plan
Sunoco Partners LLC, the general partner of the Partnership, has adopted the Sunoco Partners
LLC Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) for employees and directors of the general partner who
perform services for the Partnership. The LTIP is administered by the independent directors of the
Compensation Committee of the general partners board of directors with respect to employee awards,
and by the non-independent members of the general partners board of directors with respect to
awards granted to the independent directors. The LTIP currently permits the grant of restricted
units and unit options covering an aggregate of 1,250,000 common units. There have been no grants
of unit options since the inception of the LTIP. Restricted unit awards under the Partnerships
LTIP generally vest upon completion of a three-year service period. For performance-based awards,
adjustments for attainment of performance targets can range from 0200 percent of the award grant,
and are payable in common units. Restricted unit awards may also include tandem distribution
equivalent rights (DERs) at the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Subject to applicable
vesting criteria, a DER entitles the grantee to a cash payment equal to cash distributions paid on
an outstanding common unit during the period the restricted unit is outstanding. DERs are
recognized as a reduction of Partners Capital as they become vested.
As of September 30, 2006, there were approximately 0.2 million unvested restricted stock units
outstanding with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $39.59 per unit, and a contractual
life of three years. As of September 30, 2006, total compensation cost related to non-vested awards
not yet recognized was $1.9 million, and the weighted-average period over which this cost is
expected to be recognized in expense is 1.6 years. The number of restricted stock units outstanding
and the total compensation cost related to non-vested awards not yet recognized reflect the
Partnerships estimates of performance factors pertaining to performance-based restricted unit
awards.
Effective January 1, 2006, the Partnership adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (SFAS No. 123R), using the modified-prospective
method. SFAS No. 123R revised the accounting for stock-based compensation required by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (SFAS No. 123).
Among other things, SFAS No. 123R requires a fair-value-based method of accounting for share-based
payment transactions, which is similar to the method followed by the Partnership under the
provisions of SFAS No. 123.
SFAS No. 123R also requires the use of a non-substantive vesting period approach for new
share-based payment awards that vest when an employee becomes retirement eligible, as is the case
under the Partnerships Long-Term Incentive Plan (i.e., the vesting period cannot exceed the date
an employee becomes retirement eligible). The effect will be to accelerate expense recognition
compared to the vesting period approach that the Partnership previously followed under SFAS No.
123. As a result of adopting Statement 123(R) on January 1, 2006, the Partnerships net income is
$0.8 million lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, than if it had continued to
account for share-based compensation under SFAS No. 123. Basic and diluted earnings per unit are
each $.01 lower for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 than if the
14
Partnership had continued
to account for share-based compensation under SFAS No. 123. The future impact of the
non-substantive vesting period will be dependent upon the value of future stock-based awards
granted to employees who are eligible to retire prior to the normal vesting periods of the awards.
The Partnership recognized share-based compensation expense related to the LTIP of
approximately $2.9 million in the first nine months of 2006 under SFAS No. 123R and $2.2 million
for the first nine months of 2005 under SFAS No.123. During the year ended December 31, 2005,
approximately 118,400 awards under the LTIP vested. During the first quarter of 2006, the
Partnership issued 86,827 new common units (after netting for taxes of approximately $1.4 million)
and made DER-related payments of approximately $0.7 million in connection with the vesting.
In May 2006, the Partnership sold 2.4 million common units in a public offering at a
price of $43.00 per unit. In June 2006, the Partnership sold an additional 280,000 common units to
cover over-allotments in connection with the May 2006 sale. The purchase price for the over
allotment was equal to the offering price in the May 2006 sale. The units were issued under the
Partnerships Form S-3 shelf registration statement declared effective by the SEC in April 2006.
The total sale of units resulted in gross proceeds of $115.2 million, and net proceeds of $110.4
million, after the underwriters commission and legal, accounting and other transaction expenses.
Net proceeds of the offering, together with the $173.3 million in net proceeds from the concurrent
offering of Senior Notes (see Note 6), were used to repay $216.1 million of the debt incurred under
the revolving credit facility, to fund the Partnerships 2006 organic growth program, and for
general partnership purposes. Also as a result of the issuance of these units, the general partner
contributed $2.4 million to the Partnership to maintain its 2.0 percent general partner interest.
At September 30, 2006, Sunocos ownership in the Partnership, including its 2.0 percent
general partner interest, was 43.4 percent.
10. Cash Distributions
Within 45 days after the end of each quarter, the Partnership distributes all cash on
hand at the end of the quarter, less reserves established by the general partner in its discretion.
This is defined as available cash in the partnership agreement. The general partner has broad
discretion to establish cash reserves that it determines are necessary or appropriate to properly
conduct the Partnerships business. The Partnership will make quarterly distributions to the extent
there is sufficient cash from operations after establishment of cash reserves and payment of fees
and expenses, including payments to the general partner.
The Partnership had 5,691,819 subordinated units issued as of September 30, 2006, all of
which were held by the general partner and for which there is no established public trading market.
The Partnership originally issued 11,383,639 subordinated units to its general partner in
connection with the 2002 IPO. The subordination period is generally defined in the partnership
agreement as the period that ends on the first day of any quarter beginning after December 31, 2006
if (1) the Partnership has distributed at least the minimum quarterly distribution on all
outstanding units with respect to each of the immediately preceding three consecutive,
non-overlapping four-quarter periods; and (2) the adjusted operating surplus, as defined in the
partnership agreement, during such periods equals or exceeds the amount that would have been
sufficient to enable the Partnership to distribute the minimum quarterly distribution on all
outstanding units on a fully diluted basis and the related distribution on the 2 percent general
partner interest during those periods. In addition, under the partnership agreement, one quarter
of the subordinated units may convert to common units on a one-for-one basis after both December
31, 2004 and December 31, 2005, if the Partnership meets the required tests for the preceding three
consecutive, non-overlapping four-quarter periods. When the subordination period ends, the rights
of the holders of subordinated units will no longer be subordinated to the rights of the holders of
common units and the subordinated units may be converted into common units.
During the subordination period, the Partnership will generally pay cash distributions each
quarter in the following manner:
|
|
|
First, 98 percent to the holders of common units and 2 percent to the general partner,
until each common unit has received a minimum quarterly distribution of $0.45, plus any
arrearages from prior quarters; |
|
|
|
|
Second, 98 percent to the holders of subordinated units and 2 percent to the general
partner, until each subordinated unit has received a minimum quarterly distribution of
$0.45; and |
|
|
|
|
Thereafter, in the manner discussed below.
|
15
The Partnership has met the minimum quarterly distribution requirements on all
outstanding units for each of the three consecutive, non-overlapping four-quarter periods ended
December 31, 2004 and 2005. As a result, a total of 5,691,820 subordinated units were converted
into common units on a one-for-one basis, 2,845,910 each on February 15, 2005 and February 15,
2006. As of September 30, 2006, there are 5,691,819 subordinated units outstanding, all of which
may be converted in February 2007 as long as the Partnership continues to meet the financial tests
noted above for each of the three consecutive, non-overlapping four-quarter periods ending December
31, 2006.
After the subordination period, the Partnership will, in general, pay cash distributions
each quarter in the following manner:

If cash distributions exceed $0.50 per unit in a quarter, the general partner will
receive increasing percentages, up to 50 percent, of the cash distributed in excess of that amount.
These distributions are referred to as incentive distributions. The amounts shown in the table
under Percentage of Distributions are the percentage interests of the general partner and the
unitholders in any available cash from operating surplus that is distributed up to and including
the corresponding amount in the column Quarterly Cash Distribution Amount per Unit, until the
available cash that is distributed reaches the next target distribution level, if any. The
percentage interests shown for the unitholders and the general partner for the minimum quarterly
distribution are also applicable to quarterly distribution amounts that are less than the minimum
quarterly distribution.
Distributions paid by the Partnership for the period from January 1, 2005 through
September 30, 2006 were as follows:

On October 23, 2006, Sunoco Partners LLC, the general partner of Sunoco Logistics
Partners L.P., declared a cash distribution of $0.7875 per common and subordinated partnership unit
($3.15 annualized), representing the distribution for the third quarter 2006. The $26.8 million
distribution, including $4.4 million to the general partner, will be paid on November 14, 2006 to
unitholders of record at the close of business on November 7, 2006.
11. Exit Costs Associated with Western Pipeline Headquarters Relocation
On June 10, 2005, the Partnership announced its intention to relocate its Western area
headquarters operations from Tulsa, Oklahoma to the Houston, Texas area. The Partnership offered to
relocate all affected employees. The Partnership substantially completed the relocation during the
first quarter 2006.
The total non-recurring expenses incurred in connection with the relocation plan amounted
to $4.9 million, including $2.9 million recognized during the first quarter 2006. These costs
consist primarily of employee relocation costs, one-time termination benefits and new hire
expenses. These costs are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the
condensed statement of income, and are included in the operating results for the Western Pipeline
System segment. In addition, the total capital expenditures associated with the move amounted to
$5.5 million, including $2.8 million in the first quarter 2006. These capital expenditures include
furniture and equipment, communication infrastructure and a pipeline control center. The
Partnership did not incur any material costs related to the move in the second and third quarter of
2006, and does not expect the remaining costs related to the relocation to be material.

The following supplemental condensed consolidating financial information (in thousands)

Analysis of Consolidated Net Income
Net income was $17.7 million for the third quarter 2006 as compared with $14.7 million
for the third quarter 2005, an increase of $3.0 million. This increase was due mainly to an
increase in total shipments in the Eastern Pipeline System, operating results from the acquisitions
completed in 2005 and 2006 in the Western Pipeline System and increased revenues at the
Partnerships refined product terminals associated with ethanol blending. These increases were
partially offset by lower lease acquisition margins and higher interest expense related to
financing the acquisitions completed in 2006 and the Partnerships internal expansion capital
program.
Net interest expense increased $1.6 million to $7.0 million for the third quarter 2006 from
$5.4 million for the prior years quarter due to increased borrowings and higher interest rates,
partially offset by an increase of $0.6 million in capitalized interest.
Analysis of Segment Operating Income
Eastern Pipeline System
Operating income for the Eastern Pipeline System increased $3.9 million to $11.6 million
for the third quarter 2006 from $7.7 million for the third quarter 2005. This increase was
primarily the result of a $2.4 million increase in sales and other operating revenue and a $0.6
million decrease in operating expenses. Sales and other operating revenue increased from
28
$24.4
million for the prior years quarter to $26.8 million for the third quarter 2006 mainly due to an
increase in total shipments. The increase in shipments was due principally to higher throughput on
the Marysville, Michigan to Toledo, Ohio crude oil pipeline. During 2005, two third-party Canadian
synthetic crude oil plants experienced reduced production as a result of fire damage. Resumed
production at these crude oil plants, along with higher demand due to expansion of a Detroit
refinery served by the Marysville pipeline, resulted in an increase in shipments. Operating
expenses decreased to $12.0
million in the third quarter 2006 from $12.6 million in the third quarter 2005 due mainly to
product operating gains, partially offset by increased operating costs.
Terminal Facilities
The Terminal Facilities business segment had operating income of $9.7 million for the
third quarter 2006, as compared to $8.0 million for the prior years third quarter. Total revenues
increased $3.2 million from the prior years third quarter to $31.7 million for the third quarter
2006 due primarily to increased revenues associated with ethanol blending at the Partnerships
refined product terminals starting in May 2006, an increase in volumes at the Partnerships
Nederland Terminal, as well as increased volumes at the refined product terminals. Operating
expenses increased $1.1 million from the prior years third quarter to $14.3 million for the third
quarter 2006 due principally to timing of scheduled maintenance activity and higher utility costs.
Closing of the previously announced agreement to purchase a 50 percent interest in a refined
products terminal located in Syracuse, New York from an affiliate of Exxon Mobil Corporation is now
expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Western Pipeline System
Operating income for the Western Pipeline System decreased $1.0 million to $3.4 million
for the third quarter 2006 from $4.4 million for the third quarter 2005. The decrease was
primarily the result of lower lease acquisition margins. The decrease was partially offset by
higher crude oil pipeline volumes, mainly from the Corsicana to Wichita Falls, Texas crude oil
pipeline acquired in August 2005, the 37.0 percent undivided interest in the Mesa Pipe Line System
acquired in December 2005, and the Millennium and Kilgore pipelines acquired in March 2006. The
Amdel pipeline, acquired in March 2006, is currently being filled and is expected to begin making
deliveries during the fourth quarter 2006. The decrease was further offset by an increase in other
income of $1.2 million primarily attributable to equity income related to the acquisition of a 55.3
percent interest in the Mid-Valley Pipeline Company in August 2006. Total revenues and cost of
products sold and operating expenses increased in the third quarter 2006 compared with the prior
years quarter due principally to an increase in the price of crude oil. The average price of West
Texas Intermediate crude oil at Cushing, Oklahoma, increased to $70.55 per barrel for the third
quarter 2006 from $63.17 per barrel for the third quarter 2005. Operating expenses were higher
also as a result of increased costs associated with the acquired assets and higher utility costs.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.7 million due principally to the 2005 and 2006
acquisitions described earlier.

Analysis of Consolidated Net Income
Net income was $62.4 million for the nine month period ended September 2006 as compared
with $47.8 million for the comparable period in 2005, an increase of $14.6 million. This increase
was due mainly to an increase in total shipments in the Eastern Pipeline System, operating results
from the acquisitions completed in 2005 and 2006 in the Western Pipeline System and higher Western
Pipeline System lease acquisition margins. These increases were partially offset by
higher interest expense related to financing of the recent acquisitions and the Partnerships
internal expansion capital program, and higher selling, general and administrative costs as a
result of $2.9 million in costs related to the Western area headquarters relocation, which was
completed in the first quarter 2006.
Net interest expense increased $3.8 million to $19.8 million for the first nine months of
2006 from $16.0 million for the first nine months of 2005 due to increased borrowings and higher
interest rates, partially offset by an increase of $2.3 million in capitalized interest.
Analysis of Segment Operating Income
Eastern Pipeline System
Operating income for the Eastern Pipeline System increased $8.3 million to $32.8 million
for the first nine months of 2006 from $24.5 million for the first nine months of 2005. Sales and
other operating revenue increased from $71.3 million
30
for the prior years period to $77.3 million
for the nine months ended September 2006 mainly due to an increase in total shipments. This
increase was principally the result of higher throughput on the Marysville to Toledo crude oil
pipeline as a result of the prior year production issues previously discussed. Other income
decreased to $8.2 million for the first nine months of 2006 from $9.5 million for the prior year
period due primarily to a decrease in joint venture equity income mainly as a result of reduced
pipeline volumes experienced by the Partnerships joint venture interests. Operating expenses
decreased from $34.3 million in the first nine months of 2005 to $32.2 million for the first nine
months of 2006 due mainly to product operating gains, partially offset by increased utility,
employee and operating costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $1.1 million
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 when compared to the prior year period in 2005 due
primarily to increased utilization of engineering employees related to expansion capital projects.
Terminal Facilities
The Terminal Facilities business segment had operating income of $28.9 million for the
nine months ended September 2006, as compared to $26.8 million for the prior years corresponding
period. Total revenues increased $6.9 million from the prior years first nine months to $91.2
million for the first nine months of 2006 due primarily to an increase in revenues associated with
ethanol blending at the balance of the Partnerships refined product terminals starting in May 2006
and an increase in revenues at the Partnerships Nederland Terminal. Operating expenses increased
$3.6 million from
the prior years first nine months to $39.6 million for the first nine months of 2006 due to
increased employee costs, the timing of scheduled maintenance activity and higher utility costs.
Western Pipeline System
Operating income for the Western Pipeline System increased $8.0 million to $20.5 million
for the first nine months of 2006 from $12.5 million for the first nine months of 2005. The
increase was primarily the result of higher crude oil pipeline volumes, mainly from the
acquisitions previously discussed and higher lease acquisition margins. Other income increased for
the nine months ended September 2006 by $1.1 million when compared to the prior year period
primarily due to an increase in equity income associated with the acquisition of a 55.3 percent
interest in the Mid-Valley Pipeline Company in August 2006. Total revenues and cost of products
sold and operating expenses increased in the first nine months of 2006 compared with the prior year
period due principally to an increase in the price of crude oil. The average price of West Texas
Intermediate crude oil at Cushing, Oklahoma, increased to $68.29 per barrel for the nine months
ended September 2006 from $55.45 per barrel for the nine months ended September 2005. Depreciation
and amortization increased by $3.1 million due principally to the 2005 and 2006 acquisitions
discussed earlier. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $3.5 million due
principally to $2.9 million of costs related to the Western area headquarters relocation from
Tulsa, Oklahoma to Sugar Land, Texas, as well as increased costs associated with the acquired
assets. The relocation to Sugar Land was completed in the first quarter 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity
Cash generated from operations and borrowings under the Credit Facility are the
Partnerships primary sources of liquidity. At September 30, 2006, the Partnership had a working
deficit of $26.9 million and available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility of $254.0
million. The Partnerships working capital position also reflects crude oil inventories based on
historical costs under the LIFO method of accounting. If the inventories had been valued at their
current replacement cost, the Partnership would have had working capital of $70.5 million at
September 30, 2006.
Capital Resources
The Partnership periodically supplements its cash flows from operations with proceeds from
debt and equity financing activities.
Credit Facility
Sunoco Logistics Partners Operations L.P., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership (the
Operating Partnership), has a $300 million Credit Facility available to fund working capital
requirements, to finance future acquisitions, and for general partnership purposes. The Credit
Facility matures in November 2010. It also includes a $20.0 million distribution sublimit that is
available for distributions, and may be used to fund the quarterly distributions, provided the
total outstanding borrowings for distributions do not at any time exceed $20.0 million. The
Partnership will be required to reduce to zero all borrowings under the distribution sublimit under
the Credit Facility each year for 15 days.
31
During the third quarter 2006, $46.0 million was drawn against the Credit Facility to fund the
acquisition of a 55.3 percent interest in the Mid-Valley Pipeline Company. As of September 30,
2006, there was $254.0 million available under the Credit Facility to fund the Partnerships
internal expansion capital program, and for general Partnership purposes, including to finance
pending and future acquisitions.
Senior Notes
During May 2006, the Operating Partnership issued $175 million of 6.125 percent Senior Notes,
due May 15, 2016 at 99.858 percent of the principal amount, for net proceeds of $173.3 million
after the underwriters commission and legal, accounting and other transaction expenses. The
discount is amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the Senior Notes and is included
within interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income. The Senior Notes are
redeemable, at a make-whole premium, and are not subject to sinking fund provisions. The Senior
Notes contain various covenants limiting the Operating Partnerships ability to incur certain
liens, engage in sale/leaseback transactions, or merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of
its assets. The Operating Partnership is in compliance with these covenants as of September 30,
2006. The net proceeds from the Senior Notes, together with the $110.4 million in net proceeds
from the concurrent offering of 2.68 million limited partner common units, were used to repay of
all of the $216.1 million in outstanding borrowings under the
Partnerships Credit Facility. The
balance of the proceeds from the offerings are being
used to fund the Partnerships organic growth program and for general Partnership purposes,
including to finance pending and future acquisitions.
Equity Offerings
In May 2006, the Partnership sold 2.4 million common units in a public offering. In June 2006,
the Partnership sold an additional 280,000 common units to cover over-allotments in connection with
the May 2006 sale. The total sale of units resulted in gross proceeds of $115.2 million, and net
proceeds of $110.4 million, after the underwriters commission and legal, accounting and other
transaction expenses. Net proceeds of the offering were used to repay a portion of the $216.1
million of the debt incurred under the revolving Credit Facility. As a result of this issuance of
2.68 million common units, the general partner contributed $2.4 million to the Partnership to
maintain its 2.0 percent general partner interest. The Partnership recorded this amount as a
capital contribution to Partners Capital within its condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In August 2005, the Partnership sold 1.5 million common units in a public offering. In
September 2005, the Partnership sold an additional 125,000 common units to cover over-allotments in
connection with the August 2005 sale. The total sale of units resulted in total gross proceeds of
$63.4 million, and net proceeds of $60.4 million, after the underwriters commission and legal,
accounting and other transaction expenses. Net proceeds of the sale were used to repay $56.5
million of the debt incurred to finance the August 2005 purchase of the Corsicana to Wichita Falls,
Texas crude oil pipeline system and storage facilities, with the balance for general partnership
purposes. As a result of this issuance of 1.625 million common units, the general partner
contributed $1.3 million to the Partnership to maintain its 2.0 percent general partner interest.
In May 2005, the Partnership sold 2.5 million common units in a public offering. In June
2005, the Partnership sold an additional 275,000 common units to cover over-allotments in
connection with the May 2005 sale. The purchase price for the over-allotment was equal to the
offering price in the May 2005 sale. The sale of units resulted in total gross proceeds of $104.1
million, and net proceeds of $99.2 million, after underwriters commissions and legal, accounting
and other transaction expenses. Net proceeds from the sale were used to redeem 2.775 million common
units owned by Sunoco at a redemption price per unit equal to the public offering price per unit
after the underwriters commissions.
Shelf Registration Statement
On April 7, 2006, the Partnership, the Operating Partnership, and the Operating
Partnerships wholly-owned subsidiaries, as co-registrants, filed a shelf registration statement
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. This shelf registration permits the periodic offering
and sale of up to $500 million of equity securities by the Partnership or debt securities of the
Operating Partnership (guaranteed by the Partnership). At September 30, 2006, $209.8 million
remains available for issuance under the shelf registration statement. The shelf registration also
covers the resale of up to five million common units by the Partnerships general partner. The
amount, type and timing of any offerings will depend upon, among other things, the funding
requirements of the Partnership, prevailing market conditions, and compliance with covenants in
applicable debt obligations of the Operating Partnership (including the Credit Facility).
Cash Flows and Capital Expenditures
Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2006
was $110.7 million compared with $46.0 million for the first nine months of
2005. Net cash provided
by operating activities for the first nine months of
32
2006 was primarily generated by net income of
$62.4 million, depreciation and amortization of $27.2 million, and a $25.0 million decrease in
working capital. Working capital decreased primarily due to an increase in accounts payable. In
the nine months ended September 30, 2006, crude oil prices increased, which generated an increase
in cash for the Partnership. Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months
of 2005 was principally generated by net income of $47.8 million and depreciation and amortization
of $24.4 million, partially offset by a $24.3 million increase in working capital.
Net cash used in investing activities for the first nine months of 2006 was $207.2
million compared with $134.2 million for the first nine months of 2005. The increase between
periods is due primarily to the acquisitions of the Millennium and Kilgore crude oil pipelines and
the Amdel crude oil pipeline in March 2006, the acquisition of a 55.3 percent interest in the
Mid-Valley Pipeline Company in August 2006, and the Partnerships investment in its internal
expansion capital program, as further discussed below in the Capital Requirements section of this
document.
Net cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2006 was $93.7
million compared with $42.9 million net cash used in financing activities for the first nine months
of 2005. Net cash provided by financing activities for the first nine months of 2006 was the result
of $110.3 million of net proceeds from the offering of 2.68 million limited partner common units
and $173.3 million of net proceeds received from the issuance of 6.125 percent Senior Notes in May
2006. This increase was partially offset by $71.2 million in distributions paid to limited
partners and the general partner, a net repayment of $60.6 million on outstanding borrowings under
the Partnerships Credit Facility and $51.4 million in capital
distributions to Sunoco due primarily to the acquisition of a 55.3 percent interest in the
Mid-Valley Pipeline Company discussed earlier.
Under a treasury services agreement with Sunoco, the Partnership participates in Sunocos
centralized cash management program. Advances to affiliates in the Partnerships condensed
consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2006 represent amounts due from Sunoco under this
agreement. Advances from affiliates at December 31, 2005 represent amounts due to Sunoco under this
agreement.
Capital Requirements
The pipeline, terminalling, and crude oil transport operations are capital intensive,
requiring significant investment to maintain, upgrade or enhance existing operations and to meet
environmental and operational regulations. The capital requirements have consisted, and are
expected to continue to consist, primarily of:
|
|
|
Maintenance capital expenditures, such as those required to maintain equipment
reliability, tankage and pipeline integrity and safety, and to address environmental
regulations; and |
|
|
|
|
Expansion capital expenditures to acquire assets to grow the business and to expand
existing and construct new facilities, such as projects that increase storage or
throughput volume. |
The following table summarizes maintenance and expansion capital expenditures, including
net cash paid for acquisitions, for the periods presented (in thousands of dollars):

The acquisition of a 55.3 percent interest in the Mid-Valley Pipeline
Company was included within the expansion capital amount for the nine months ended September 30,
2006 at Sunocos historical cost of $12.5 million. Since the acquisition was from a related party,
the $52.5 million difference between the purchase price and the cost basis of the assets was
recorded by the Partnership as a capital distribution. |
Maintenance capital expenditures, including $2.8 million related to the Western area
headquarters relocation in the nine months ended September 30, 2006, decreased $1.7 million from
the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Excluding the relocation costs, maintenance capital
expenditures decreased $4.5 million in the first nine months of 2006 from the first nine months of
2005 due mainly to the differences in timing of scheduled maintenance activity between the periods.
Management anticipates maintenance capital expenditures to be approximately $25.0 million for the
year ended December 31, 2006, excluding the $2.8 million related to the Western area headquarters
relocation and amounts reimbursable under agreements with Sunoco. Maintenance capital expenditures
for both periods presented include recurring expenditures such as
33
pipeline integrity costs,
pipeline relocations, repair and upgrade of field instrumentation, including measurement devices,
repair and replacement of tank floors and roofs, upgrades of cathodic protection systems, crude
trucks and related equipment, and the upgrade of pump stations.
Expansion capital expenditures in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 include $119.2
million related to the acquisitions of the Millennium and Kilgore pipeline system and the Amdel
pipeline system in March 2006 and the 55.3 percent interest in the Mid-Valley Pipeline Company (see
Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
Expansion capital expenditures also include the Partnerships investments in its internal
expansion capital program, including expansion of the Marysville crude oil pipeline and the Amdel
pipeline purchased in March 2006, expansion of the Montello to Pittsburgh segment of the
Philadelphia system, the construction at Nederland of six new crude oil storage tanks with a total
capacity of approximately 3.6 million shell barrels, installation of ethanol blending facilities at
the balance of the Partnerships refined product terminals, as well as capitalized interest of $2.5
million.
The Partnership expects to fund capital expenditures, including pending and future
acquisitions, from both cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary, from the proceeds
of borrowings under the Credit Facility, other borrowings and the issuance of additional common
units.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The Partnership is exposed to various market risks, including volatility in crude oil
commodity prices and interest rates. To manage such exposures, inventory levels and expectations of
future commodity prices and interest rates are monitored when making decisions with respect to risk
management. The Partnership has not entered into derivative transactions that would expose it to
price risk.
The $300 million Credit Facility generally exposes the Partnership to interest rate risk
since it bears interest at a variable rate of 5.71 percent at September 30, 2006. A one percent
change in interest rates changes annual interest expense by approximately $0.5 million based on
outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility of $46.0 million at September 30, 2006.

PART II
OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
In August 2006, Mid-Valley Pipeline Company (an entity in which Sunoco, Inc. formerly
owned a 55.3 percent interest), Sun Pipe Line Company (a subsidiary of Sunoco, Inc.) and Sunoco
Pipeline L.P. (a subsidiary of Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P.) reached a settlement with the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Kentucky Environmental and
Public Protection Cabinet relating to certain alleged violations of the federal Clean Water Act and
certain Kentucky statutes and regulations, in a total amount of
approximately $3.1 million. The Partnership expects to be fully
indemnified for costs associated with the settlement. The
Consent Decree concerning this settlement was lodged with the U.S. District Court in Kentucky on
August 15, 2006. The 30-day comment period expired on September 20, 2006 and a motion to enter the
Consent Decree was filed on October 13, 2006, and is pending. The alleged violations arise from a
release in November 2000 in Louisiana and a release in January 2005 in Kentucky. (See also the
