NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
(1) ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Martin Midstream GP LLC (the General Partner) is a single member Delaware limited liability
company formed on September 21, 2002 to become the general partner of Martin Midstream Partners
L.P. (the Company). The General Partner owns a 2% general partner interest and incentive
distribution rights in the Company. The General Partner is a wholly owned subsidiary of Martin
Resource Management Corporation (MRMC).
In September 2005 the FASB ratified EITF Issue 04-5, a framework for addressing when a limited
company should be consolidated by its general partner. The framework presumes that a sole general
partner in a limited company controls the limited company, and therefore should consolidate the
limited company. The presumption of control can be overcome if the limited partners have (a) the
substantive ability to remove the sole general partner or otherwise dissolve the limited company or
(b) substantive participating rights. The EITF reached a conclusion on the circumstances in which
either kick-out rights or participating rights would be considered substantive and preclude
consolidation by the general partner. Based on the guidance in the EITF, the General Partner
concluded that the Company should be consolidated. As such, the accompanying balance sheets have
been consolidated to include the General Partner and the Company.
The Company is a publicly traded limited partnership which provides terminalling and storage
services for petroleum products and by-products, natural gas services, marine transportation
services for petroleum products and by-products, sulfur gathering, processing and distribution and
fertilizer manufacturing and distribution.
On November 10, 2005, the Company acquired Prism Gas Systems I, L.P. (Prism Gas) which is
engaged in the gathering, processing and marketing of natural gas and natural gas liquids,
predominantly in Texas and northwest Louisiana. Through the acquisition of Prism Gas, the Company
also acquired 50% ownership interest in Waskom Gas Processing Company (Waskom), the Matagorda
Offshore Gathering System (Matagorda), and the Panther Interstate Pipeline Energy LLC (Panther)
each accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
The petroleum products and by-products the Company collects, transports, stores and
distributes are produced primarily by major and independent oil and gas companies who often turn to
third parties, such as the Company, for the transportation and disposition of these products. In
addition to these major and independent oil and gas companies, the Companys primary customers
include independent refiners, large chemical companies, fertilizer manufacturers and other
wholesale purchasers of these products. The Company operates primarily in the Gulf Coast region of
the United States, which is a major hub for petroleum refining, natural gas gathering and
processing and support services for the exploration and production industry.
(2) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Principles of Presentation and Consolidation
The consolidated balance sheets include the financial position of the General Partner and the
Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions
have been eliminated in consolidation. As the General Partner only has a 2% interest in the
Company, the remaining 98% not owned is shown as minority interests in the consolidated balance
sheets. In addition, the Company evaluates its relationships with other entities to identify
whether they are variable interest entities as defined by FASB Interpretation No 46(R)
Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (FIN 46R) and to assess whether they are the primary
beneficiary of such entities. If the determination is made that the Company is the primary
beneficiary, then that entity is included in the consolidated balance sheet in accordance with FIN
46(R). No such variable interest entities exist as of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
(b) Product Exchanges
Product exchange balances due to other companies under negotiated agreements are recorded at
quoted market product prices while balances due from other companies are recorded at the lower of
cost (determined using the first-in, first-out method) or market.
(c) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by using the
first-in, first-out method for all inventories.
(d) Revenue Recognition
Revenue for the Companys five operating segments is recognized as follows:
Terminalling and storage Revenue is recognized for storage contracts based on the contracted
monthly tank fixed fee. For throughput contracts, revenue is recognized based on the volume moved
through the Companys terminals at the contracted rate. When lubricants and drilling fluids are
sold by truck, revenue is recognized upon delivering product to the customers as title to the
product transfers when the customer physically receives the product.
Natural gas services Natural gas gathering and processing revenues are recognized when title
passes or service is performed. NGL distribution revenue is recognized when product is delivered
by truck to our NGL customers, which occurs when the customer physically receives the product. When
product is sold in storage, or by pipeline, the Company recognizes NGL distribution revenue when
the customer receives the product from either the storage facility or pipeline.
Marine transportation Revenue is recognized for contracted trips upon completion of the
particular trip. For time charters, revenue is recognized based on a per day rate.
Sulfur and Fertilizer Revenues are recognized when the products are delivered, which occurs
when the customer has taken title and has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership based on
specific contract terms at either the shipping or delivery point.
(e) Equity Method Investments
The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in unconsolidated entities
where the ability to exercise significant influence over such entities exists. Investments in
unconsolidated entities consist of capital contributions and advances plus the Companys share of
accumulated earnings less capital withdrawals and dividends. Any excess of cost over the
underlying equity in net assets is recognized as goodwill. Under the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, this
goodwill is not subject to amortization and is accounted for as a component of the investment.
Equity method investments are subject to impairment under the provisions of Accounting Principles
Board (APB) Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock.
(f) Property, Plant, and Equipment
Owned property, plant, and equipment is stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Owned
buildings and equipment are depreciated using straight-line method over the estimated lives of the
respective assets.
Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to operating expense while costs of betterments
and renewals are capitalized. When an asset is retired or sold, its cost and related accumulated
depreciation are removed from the

(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
accounts and the difference between net book value of the asset and proceeds from disposition
is recognized as gain or loss.
(g) Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of costs over fair value of net assets of businesses acquired.
Goodwill and intangible assets acquired in a purchase business combination and determined to have
an indefinite useful life are not amortized, but instead tested for impairment at least annually in
accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Intangible
assets with estimated useful lives are amortized over their respective estimated useful lives to
their estimated residual values, and reviewed for impairment in accordance with FASB Statement No.
144, Accounting for Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. Other intangible assets
primarily consists of covenants not-to-compete obtained through business combinations and are being
amortized over the life of the respective agreements.
(h) Debt Issuance Costs
In connection with the Companys multi-bank credit facility, on November 10, 2005, it incurred
debt issuance costs of $3,258. In connection with the amendment and expansion of the Companys
multi-bank credit facility on September 30, 2006, it incurred debt issuance costs of $372. These
debt issuance costs, along with the remaining unamortized deferred issuance costs relating to the
line of credit facility as of November 10, 2005 which remain deferred, are amortized over the 60
month term of the new debt arrangement. The unamortized balance of debt issuance costs, classified
as other assets amounted to $3,359 at September 30, 2007 and $4,169 at December 31, 2006.
(i) Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with SFAS No. 144, long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, are
reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying
amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is
measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash
flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its
estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized by the amount by which the carrying
amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of would be
separately presented in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair
value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of a disposed
group classified as held for sale would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and
liability sections of the balance sheet. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment, and is tested
for impairment more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be
impaired. An impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds the
assets fair value. This determination is made at the reporting unit level and consists of two
steps. First, the Company determines the fair value of a reporting unit and compares it to its
carrying amount. Second, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an
impairment loss is recognized for any excess of the carrying amount of the reporting units
goodwill over the implied fair value of that goodwill. The implied fair value of goodwill is
determined by allocating the fair value of the reporting unit in a manner similar to a purchase
price allocation, in accordance with FASB Statement No. 141, Business Combinations. The residual
fair value after this allocation is the implied fair value of the reporting unit goodwill. The
Company performed its annual test in the third quarters of 2007 and 2006 with no indication of
impairment.
(j) Asset Retirement Obligation
Under SFAS No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations (Statement No. 143), an
Asset Retirement Obligation (ARO) which consists of costs associated with legal obligations to
retire tangible, long-lived assets is recorded at fair value in the period in which it is incurred
by increasing the carrying amount of the related long-lived asset. In each subsequent period, the
liability is accreted over time towards the ultimate obligation amount and the capitalized costs
are depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. Financial Accounting

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
Standards Board Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement
Obligations (FIN 47), an interpretation of SFAS 143, clarifies that the recognition and
measurement provisions of SFAS 143 apply to asset retirement obligations in which the timing or
method of settlement may be conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control
of the entity. The Companys fixed assets include land, buildings, transportation equipment,
storage equipment, marine vessels and operating equipment.
The transportation equipment includes pipeline systems. The Company transports NGLs through
the pipeline system and gathering system. The Company also gathers natural gas from wells owned by
producers and delivers natural gas and NGLs on our pipeline systems, primarily in Texas and
Louisiana to the fractionation facility of our 50% owned joint venture. The Company is obligated
by contractual or regulatory requirements to remove certain facilities or perform other remediation
upon retirement of our assets. However, the Company is not able to reasonably determine the fair
value of the asset retirement obligations for our trunk and gathering pipelines and our surface
facilities, since future dismantlement and removal dates are indeterminate. In order to determine
a removal date of our gathering lines and related surface assets, reserve information regarding the
production life of the specific field is required. As a transporter and gatherer of natural gas,
the Company is not a producer of the field reserves, and therefore does not have access to adequate
forecasts that predict the timing of expected production for existing reserves on those fields in
which the Company gathers natural gas. In the absence of such information, the Company is not able
to make a reasonable estimate of when future dismantlement and removal dates of our gathering
assets will occur. With regard to our trunk pipelines and their related surface assets, it is
impossible to predict when demand for transportation of the related products will cease. Our
right-of-way agreements allow us to maintain the right-of-way rather than remove the pipe. In
addition, the Company can evaluate its trunk pipelines for alternative uses, which can be and have
been found. The Company will record such asset retirement obligations in the period in which more
information becomes available for the Company to reasonably estimate the settlement dates of the
retirement obligations.
(k) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Derivative Instruments and Hedging ActivitiesSFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities, established accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments and hedging activities. It requires that all derivatives be included on the balance
sheet as an asset or liability measured at fair value and that changes in fair value be recognized
currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. If such hedge accounting
criteria are met, the change is deferred in shareholders equity as a component of accumulated
other comprehensive income. The deferred items are recognized in the period the derivative contract
is settled.
Derivative instruments not designated as hedges are being marked to market with all market
value adjustments being recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30,
2007 and December 31, 2006, the Company has designated a portion of its derivative instruments as
qualifying cash flow hedges. Fair value changes for these hedges have been recorded in other
comprehensive income as a component of equity.
(l) Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The
allowance for doubtful accounts is the Companys best estimate of the amount of probable credit
losses in the Companys existing accounts receivable.
(m) Unit Grants
The Company issued 1,000 restricted common units to each of its three independent,
non-employee directors under its long-term incentive plan in January 2006. These units vest in
25% increments on the anniversary of the grant date each year and will be fully vested in January
2010.

MARTIN MIDSTREAM GP LLC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
The Company issued 1,000 restricted common units to each of its three independent,
non-employee directors under its long-term incentive plan in May 2007. These units vest in 25%
increments beginning in January 2008 and will be fully vested in January 2011.
The Company accounts for these transactions under EITF Issue 96-18 Accounting for Equity
Instruments That are Issued to other than Employees For Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling,
Goods or Services.
(n) Incentive Distribution Rights
The General Partner holds a 2% general partner interest and certain incentive distribution
rights in the Company. Incentive distribution rights represent the right to receive an increasing
percentage of cash distributions after the minimum quarterly distribution, any cumulative
arrearages on common units, and certain target distribution levels have been achieved. The Company
is required to distribute all of its available cash from operating surplus, as defined in the
Company agreement. The target distribution levels entitle the General Partner to receive 15% of
quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.55 per unit until all unit holders have received
$0.625 per unit, 25% of quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.625 per unit until all unit
holders have received $0.75 per unit, and 50% of quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.75
per unit. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2007, the General Partner received
incentive distributions. Such distributions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet.
(o) Use of Estimates
Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets
and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to prepare their
consolidated balance sheets in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(p) Environmental Liabilities
The Companys policy is to accrue for losses associated with environmental remediation
obligations when such losses are probable and reasonably estimable. Accruals for estimated losses
from environmental remediation obligations generally are recognized no later than completion of the
remedial feasibility study. Such accruals are adjusted as further information develops or
circumstances change. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation obligations are
not discounted to their present value. Recoveries of environmental remediation costs from other
parties are recorded as assets when their receipt is deemed probable.
(q) Income Taxes
The General Partner is a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes. Its activity is
included in the consolidated federal income tax return of MRMC; however, for financial reporting
purposes, current federal income taxes are computed and recorded as if the General Partner filed a
separate federal income tax return. The Companys subsidiary, Woodlawn Pipeline Company Inc.
(Woodlawn), is subject to income taxes. In connection with the Woodlawn acquisition, a deferred
tax liability of $8,964 was established associated with book and tax basis differences of the
acquired assets and liabilities. The basis differences are primarily related to property, plant
and equipment.
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and
liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the
financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax
basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply
to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or
settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized
in income in the period that includes the enactment date. Deferred tax liabilities relating
primarily to book and tax basis differences of the acquired assets of Woodlawn, and the timing of
recognizing
6

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
September 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
partnership earnings and insurance expense totaled $9,313 ($12 of which is included in other
accrued liabilities) and $407 at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.
The operations of the Company are generally not subject to income taxes and as a result, the
Companys income is taxed directly to its owners, except for the Texas Margin Tax as described
below and the taxes associated with Woodlawn as previously discussed.
On May 18, 2006, the Texas Governor signed into law a Texas margin tax (H.B. No. 3) which
restructures the state business tax by replacing the taxable capital and earned surplus components
of the current franchise tax with a new taxable margin component. Since the tax base on the
Texas margin tax is derived from an income-based measure, the margin tax is construed as an income
tax and, therefore, the provisions of SFAS 109 regarding the recognition of deferred taxes apply to
the new margin tax. In accordance with SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets of a change in
tax law should be included in tax expense attributable to continuing operations in the period that
includes the enactment date. Therefore, the Company has calculated its deferred tax assets and
liabilities for Texas based on the new margin tax. The cumulative effect of the change and
subsequent changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities are immaterial. At September 30, 2007,
the Company has recorded a liability attributable to the Texas Margin tax of $445.
(3) ACQUISITIONS
(a) Lubricants Terminal. In June 2007, the Company acquired all of the operating assets of
Mega Lubricants Inc. (Mega Lubricants) located in Channelview, Texas. The terminal is located on
5.6 acres of land, includes 38 tanks with a storage capacity of approximately 600,000 gallons, pump
and piping infrastructure for lubricant blending and truck loading and unloading operations, 34,000
square feet of warehouse space and an administrative office.
The purchase price of $4,738, including two three-year non-competition agreements totaling
$530 and goodwill of $1,020, was allocated as follows:

In connection with the acquisition on, the Company borrowed approximately $4,600 under its
credit facility.
(b) Woodlawn Pipeline Company Inc. On May 2, 2007, the Company, through its subsidiary Prism
Gas, acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Woodlawn. The results of Woodlawns operations have
been included in the consolidated financial statements beginning May 2, 2007. Woodlawn is a
natural gas gathering and processing company which owns integrated gathering and processing assets
in East Texas. Woodlawns system consists of approximately 160 miles of natural gas gathering
pipe, approximately 40 miles of condensate transport pipe and a 30 Mcf/day processing plant. Prism
Gas acquired, from a Woodlawn related party, a 9-mile pipeline that delivers residue gas from
Woodlawn to the Texas Eastern Transmission pipeline system.
The selling parties in this transaction were Lantern Resources, L.P., David P. Deison, and
Peak Gas Gathering L.P. The final purchase price of $32,606 was funded by borrowings under the
Companys credit facility.

non-competition agreements totaling $40, customer contracts associated with the gathering and
processing assets of $3,002, and a transportation contract associated with the residue gas pipeline
of $297.
In connection with the acquisition, the Company borrowed approximately $33,000 under its
credit facility.
(c) Asphalt Terminals. In August 2006 and October 2006, respectively, the Company acquired
the assets of Gulf States Asphalt Company LP and Prime Materials and Supply Corporation (Prime)
for $4,842 which was allocated to property, plant and equipment. The assets are located in
Houston, Texas and Port Neches, Texas. The Company entered into an agreement with MRMC, pursuant
to which MRMC will operate the facilities through a terminalling service agreement based upon
throughput rates and will assume all additional expenses to operate the facility.
(d) Corpus Christi Barge Terminal. In July 2006, the Company acquired a marine terminal
located near Corpus Christi, Texas and associated assets from Koch Pipeline Company, LP for $6,200
which was allocated to property, plant and equipment. The terminal is located on approximately 25

(6) RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Amounts due to and due from affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30,
2007 (unaudited) and December 31, 2006, are primarily with MRMC and its affiliates and Waskom Gas
Processing Company (Waskom).
The General Partners balances are primarily related to (1) Company cash distributions that
were paid to a related party on behalf of the General Partner and (2) director fees that were paid
by a related party on behalf of the General Partner. The Company contributions and distributions
have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
The Companys balances are related to transactions involving the purchase and sale of NGL
products, lube oil products, sulfur and sulfuric acid products, fertilizer products; land and
marine transportation services; terminalling and storage services, and other purchases of products
and services representing operating expenses.
(7) INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED COMPANIES AND JOINT VENTURES
The Company, through its Prism Gas subsidiary, owns 50% of the ownership interests in Waskom,
Matagorda Offshore Gathering System (Matagorda) and Panther Interstate Pipeline Energy LLC
(PIPE). Each of these interests is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
On June 30, 2006, the Company, through its Prism Gas subsidiary, acquired for approximately
$196 a 20% ownership interest in a partnership which owns the lease rights to the assets of the
Bosque County Pipeline (BCP). BCP is an approximate 67 mile pipeline located in the Barnett
Shale extension. The pipeline traverses four counties with the most concentrated drilling
occurring in Bosque County. BCP is operated by Panther Pipeline Ltd. which is the 42.5% interest
owner. This interest is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
In accounting for the acquisition of the interests in Waskom, Matagorda and PIPE, the carrying
amount of these investments exceeded the underlying net assets by approximately $46,176. The
difference was attributable to

(Unaudited)
property and equipment of $11,872 and equity method goodwill of $34,304. The excess
investment relating to property and equipment is being amortized over an average life of 20 years,
which approximates the useful life of the underlying assets. Such amortization amounted to $147
and $444 for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2007, respectively, and has been
recorded as a reduction of equity in earnings of unconsolidated equity method investees. The
remaining unamortized excess investment relating to property and equipment was $10,834 and $11,279
at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. The equity-method goodwill is not
amortized in accordance with SFAS 142; however, it is analyzed for impairment annually. No
impairment was recognized in the first nine months of 2007 or the year ended December 31, 2006.
As a partner in Waskom, the Company receives distributions in kind of natural gas liquids that
are retained according to Waskoms contracts with certain producers. The natural gas liquids are
valued at prevailing market prices. In addition, cash distributions are received and cash
contributions are made to fund operating and capital requirements of Waskom.

Interest rate fluctuates based on the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin set on the date of each
advance. The margin above LIBOR is set every three months. Indebtedness under the credit facility
bears interest at either LIBOR plus an applicable margin or the base prime rate plus an applicable
margin. The applicable margin for revolving loans that are LIBOR loans ranges from 1.50% to 3.00%
and the applicable margin for revolving loans that are base prime rate loans ranges from 0.50% to
2.00%. The applicable margin for term loans that are LIBOR loans ranges from 2.00% to 3.00% and
the applicable margin for term loans that are base prime rate loans ranges from 1.00% to 2.00%.
The applicable margin for existing borrowings is 2.00%. Effective October 1, 2007, the applicable
margin for existing borrowings will decrease to 1.75%. As a result of our leverage ratio test,
effective January 1, 2008, the applicable margin for existing borrowings will increase to 2.00%.
We incur a commitment fee on the unused portions of the credit facility. |

or for any existing revolving lender to increase its revolving commitment, subject to a
maximum of $100,000 for all such increases in revolving commitments of new or existing revolving
lenders. Effective June 30, 2006, the Company increased its revolving credit facility $25,000
resulting in a committed $120,000 revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility is used
for ongoing working capital needs and general company purposes, and to finance permitted
investments, acquisitions and capital expenditures. Under the amended and restated credit facility,
as of September 30, 2007, the Company had $80,000 outstanding under the revolving credit facility
and $130,000 outstanding under the term loan facility. As of September 30, 2007, the Company had
$39,880 available under its revolving credit facility.
On July 14, 2005, the Company issued a $120 irrevocable letter of credit to the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality to provide financial assurance for its used oil handling
program.
The Companys obligations under the credit facility are secured by substantially all of the
Companys assets, including, without limitation, inventory, accounts receivable, vessels,
equipment, fixed assets and the interests in its operating subsidiaries. The Company may prepay all
amounts outstanding under this facility at any time without penalty.
In addition, the credit facility contains various covenants, which, among other things, limit
the Companys ability to: (i) incur indebtedness; (ii) grant certain liens; (iii) merge or
consolidate unless it is the survivor; (iv) sell all or substantially all of its assets; (v) make
certain acquisitions; (vi) make certain investments; (vii) make certain capital expenditures;
(viii) make distributions other than from available cash; (ix) create obligations for some lease
payments; (x) engage in transactions with affiliates; (xi) engage in other types of business; and
(xii) its joint ventures to incur indebtedness or grant certain liens.
The credit facility also contains covenants, which, among other things, require the Company to
maintain specified ratios of: (i) minimum net worth (as defined in the credit facility) of $75,000
plus 50% of net proceeds from equity issuances after November 10, 2005; (ii) EBITDA (as defined in
the credit facility) to interest expense of not less than 3.0 to 1.0 at the end of each fiscal
quarter; (iii) total funded debt to EBITDA of not more than (x) 5.5 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter
ended September 30, 2005, (y) 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2005 through
September 30, 2006, and (z) 4.75 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter; and (iv) total secured
funded debt to EBITDA of not more than (x) 5.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended September 30,
2005, (y) 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2005 through September 20, 2006,
and (z) 4.00 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter. The Company was in compliance with the
debt covenants contained in credit facility for the year ended December 31, 2006 and as of
September 30, 2007.
On November 10 of each year, commencing with November 10, 2006, the Company must prepay the
term loans under the credit facility with 75% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the credit
facility), unless its ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA is less than 3.00 to 1.00. There were
no prepayments made under the term loan through September 30, 2007. If the Company receives
greater than $15,000 from the incurrence of indebtedness other than under the credit facility, it
must prepay indebtedness under the credit facility with all such proceeds in excess of $15,000. Any
such prepayments are first applied to the term loans under the credit facility. The Company must
prepay revolving loans under the credit facility with the net cash proceeds from any issuance of
its equity. The Company must also prepay indebtedness under the credit facility with the proceeds
of certain asset dispositions. Other than these mandatory prepayments, the credit facility requires
interest only payments on a quarterly basis until maturity. All outstanding principal and unpaid
interest must be paid by November 10, 2010. The credit facility contains customary events of
default, including, without limitation, payment defaults, cross-defaults to other material
indebtedness, bankruptcy-related defaults, change of control defaults and litigation-related
defaults.
Draws made under the Companys credit facility are normally made to fund acquisitions and for
working capital requirements. During the current fiscal year, draws on the Companys credit
facility have ranged from a low of $170,600 to a high of $226,850. As of September 30, 2007, the
Company had $39,880 available for working capital, internal expansion and acquisition activities
under the Companys credit facility.

On July 15, 2005, the Company assumed $9,400 of U.S. Government Guaranteed Ship Financing
Bonds, maturing in 2021, relating to the acquisition of CF Martin Sulphur, L.P. (CF Martin
Sulphur). The outstanding balance as of December 31, 2005 was $9,104. These bonds were payable in
equal semi-annual installments of $291, and were secured by certain marine vessels owned by CF
Martin Sulphur. Pursuant to the terms of an amendment to the Companys credit facility that it
entered into in connection with the acquisition of CF Martin Sulphur, the Company was obligated to
repay these bonds by March 31, 2006. The Company redeemed these bonds on March 6, 2006 with
available cash and borrowings from its credit facility. Also, at redemption, a pre-payment premium
was paid in the amount of $1,160.
The Company paid cash interest in the amount of $2,777 and $2,874 for the three months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $8,722 and $9,135 for the nine months ended
September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Capitalized interest was $826 and $300 for the three
months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $2,171 and $970 for the nine months
ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
In connection with the Companys Mega Lubricants acquisition on June 13, 2007, the Company
borrowed approximately $4,600 under its revolving credit facility.
In connection with the Companys Woodlawn acquisition on May 2, 2007, the Company borrowed
approximately $33,000 under its revolving credit facility.
(9) INTEREST RATE CASH FLOW HEDGES
In September 2007, the Company entered into a cash flow hedge agreement with a notional amount
of $25,000 to hedge its exposure to increases in the benchmark interest rate underlying its
variable rate term loan credit facility. This interest rate swap matures in September 2010. The
Company designated this swap agreement as a cash flow hedge. Under the swap agreement, the Company
pays a fixed rate of interest of 4.605% and receives a floating rate based on a three-month U.S.
Dollar LIBOR rate. Because this is designated as a cash flow hedge, the changes in fair value, to
the extent the swap is effective, are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged
interest costs are recognized in earnings. At the inception of the hedge, the swap was identical
to the hypothetical swap as of the trade date, and will continue to be identical as long as the
accrual periods and rate resetting dates for the debt and the swap remain equal. This condition
results in a 100% effective swap.
In November 2006, the Company entered into a cash flow hedge agreement with a notional amount
of $40,000 to hedge its exposure to increases in the benchmark interest rate underlying its
variable rate revolving credit facility. This interest rate swap matures in December 2009. The
Company designated this swap agreement as a cash flow hedge. Under the swap agreement, the Company
pays a fixed rate of interest of 4.82% and receives a floating rate based on a three-month U.S.
Dollar LIBOR rate. Because this is designated as a cash flow hedge, the changes in fair value, to
the extent the swap is effective, are recognized in other comprehensive income until the hedged
interest costs are recognized in earnings. At the inception of the hedge, the swap was identical
to the hypothetical swap as of the trade date, and will continue to be identical as long as the
accrual periods and rate resetting dates for the debt and the swap remain equal. This condition
results in a 100% effective swap.
In November 2006, the Company entered into an interest rate swap that swaps $30,000 of
floating rate to fixed rate. The fixed rate cost is 4.765% plus the Companys applicable LIBOR
borrowing spread. This interest rate swap matures in March 2010. The underlying debt related to
this swap was paid prior to December 31, 2006; therefore, hedge accounting was not utilized. The
swap has been recorded at fair value at September 30, 2007 with an offset to current operations.
In March 2006, the Company entered into a cash flow hedge agreement with a notional amount of
$75,000 to hedge its exposure to increases in the benchmark interest rate underlying its variable
rate term loan credit facility. This interest rate swap matures in November 2010. The Company
designated this swap agreement as a cash flow hedge. Under the swap agreement, the Company pays a
fixed rate of interest of 5.25% and receives a floating rate based on a three-month U.S. Dollar
LIBOR rate. Because this is designated as a cash flow hedge, the changes in fair

value, to the extent the swap is effective, are recognized in other comprehensive income until
the hedged interest costs are recognized in earnings. At the inception of the hedge, the swap was
identical to the hypothetical swap as of the trade date, and will continue to be identical as long
as the accrual periods and rate resetting dates for the debt and the swap remain equal. This
condition results in a 100% effective swap.
For the three months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recognized an increase in interest
expense of $387 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, the Company recognized a decrease
in interest expense of $44, related to the difference between the fixed rate and the floating rate
of interest on the interest rate swap and net cash settlement of interest rate hedges. The net
fair value of the interest rate swap agreements was recorded as an asset (liability) of
approximately $(1,464) and $(83) at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

(10) COMMODITY CASH FLOW HEDGES
The Company is exposed to market risks associated with commodity prices, counterparty credit
and interest rates. Until December 2005, the Company had not engaged in commodity contract trading
or hedging activities. However, in connection with the acquisition of Prism Gas at that time, the
Company has established a hedging policy and monitors and manages the commodity market risk
associated with the commodity risk exposure of the Prism Gas acquisition. In addition, the Company
is focusing on utilizing counterparties for these transactions whose financial condition is
appropriate for the credit risk involved in each specific transaction.
The Company uses derivatives to manage the risk of commodity price fluctuations. Additionally,
the Company manages interest rate exposure by targeting a ratio of fixed and floating interest
rates it deems prudent and using hedges to attain that ratio.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS No. 133),
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, all derivatives and hedging
instruments are included on the balance sheet as an asset or a liability measured at fair value and
changes in fair value are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met. If a derivative qualifies for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value can be
offset against the change in the fair value of the hedged item through earnings or recognized in
other comprehensive income until such time as the hedged item is recognized in earnings. In early
2006, the Company adopted a hedging policy that allows it to use hedge accounting for financial
transactions that are designated as hedges.
Derivative instruments not designated as hedges are being marked to market with all market
value adjustments being recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. As of September 30,
2007, the Company has designated a portion of its derivative instruments as qualifying cash flow
hedges. Fair value changes for these hedges have been recorded in other comprehensive income as a
component of equity. During the nine months ended September 30, 2007, certain of the Companys
derivative instruments which were designated as hedges became ineffective due to fluctuations in
the basis difference between the hedged item and the hedging instrument. As a result, these hedges
are now marked to market through the statement of operations.

On all transactions where the Company is exposed to counterparty risk, the Company analyzes
the counterpartys financial condition prior to entering into an agreement, and has established a
maximum credit limit threshold pursuant to its hedging policy, and monitors the appropriateness of
these limits on an ongoing basis. The Company has incurred no losses associated with the
counterparty non-performance on derivative contracts.
Through its Prism Gas subsidiary, the Company is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations
in the prices of natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and condensate as a result of gathering,
processing and sales activities. Prism Gas gathering and processing revenues are earned under
various contractual arrangements with gas producers. Gathering revenues are generated through a
combination of fixed-fee and index-related arrangements. Processing revenues are generated
primarily through contracts which provide for processing on percent-of-liquids (POL) and
percent-of-proceeds (POP) basis. Prism Gas has entered into hedging transactions through 2010 to
protect a portion of its commodity exposure from these contracts. These hedging arrangements are in
the form of swaps for crude oil, natural gas and ethane.
Based on estimated volumes, as of September 30, 2007, Prism Gas had hedged approximately 50%,
50%, 22% and 16% of its commodity risk by volume for 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The
Company anticipates entering into additional commodity derivatives on an ongoing basis to manage
its risks associated with these market fluctuations, and will consider using various commodity
derivatives, including forward contracts, swaps, collars, futures and options, although there is no
assurance that the Company will be able to do so or that the terms thereof will be similar to the
Companys existing hedging arrangements. In addition, the Company will consider derivative
arrangements that include the specific NGL products as well as natural gas and crude oil.

(11) Public Equity Offering
In May 2007, the Company completed a public offering of 1,380,000 common units at a price of
$42.25 per common unit, before the payment of underwriters discounts, commissions and offering
expenses (per unit value is in dollars, not thousands). Following this offering, the common units
represented a 64.3% limited partnership interest in the Company. Total proceeds from the sale of
the 1,380,000 common units, net of underwriters discounts, commissions and offering expenses were
$55,933. The General Partner contributed $1,190 in cash to the Company in conjunction with the
issuance in order to maintain its 2% general partner interest in the Company. The net proceeds
were used to pay down revolving debt under the Companys credit facility and to provide working
capital.
