STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Management further indicates that its current expectation for 2004 earnings is $3.30 per unit. Guidance for 2004 had not previously been provided, and

SIZE="2">Although earnings per unit are predicted to be lower between periods, operating margin, which is calculated as revenues minus operating expenses and product purchases, is expected to increase between 2003 and 2004. The expected increase in
2004 is primarily attributable to the full year impact of the petroleum products management business purchased in July 2003, increases in ancillary service rates on the petroleum products pipeline system and lower operating expenses due to asset
write-offs in 2003, partially offset by a customer storage contract buyout at the partnership&#146;s Galena Park terminal during 2003. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P

related to asset performance will offset this improvement,&#148; said Don Wellendorf, chief executive officer. &#147;We remain focused on safely and efficiently operating our existing assets while pursuing growth opportunities from both organic
projects and accretive acquisitions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;The partnership

STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The anticipated decline in earnings per limited partner unit is primarily due to higher interest rates, the annual escalation of the cap on general and
