GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. 
Organization and Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
 
Organization
 
We are a growth-oriented limited partnership focused on the midstream segment of the oil and gas industry in the Gulf Coast area of the United States.  We conduct our operations through our operating subsidiaries and joint ventures.  We manage our businesses through four divisions:
 
 
·
Pipeline transportation of crude oil and carbon dioxide;
 
 
·
Refinery services involving processing of high sulfur (or “sour”) gas streams for refineries to remove the sulfur, and sale of the related by-product, sodium hydrosulfide (or NaHS, commonly pronounced nash);
 
 
·
Supply and logistics services, which includes terminaling, blending, storing, marketing, and transporting crude oil and petroleum products by trucks and barges; and
 
 
·
Industrial gas activities, including wholesale marketing of CO2 and processing of syngas through a joint venture.
 
Our 2% general partner interest is held by Genesis Energy, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.    Our general partner manages our operations and activities and employs our officers and personnel, who devote 100% of their efforts to our management.
 
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
 
Our results of operations for the interim periods shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the fiscal year.  The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us without audit pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).  Accordingly, they reflect all adjustments (which consist solely of normal recurring adjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for interim periods.  Certain information and notes normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  However, we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading when read in conjunction with the information contained in the periodic reports we file with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
Except per unit amounts, or as noted within the context of each footnote disclosure, the dollar amounts presented in the tabular data within these footnote disclosures are stated in thousands of dollars.
 
2. 
DG Marine
 
Today, DG Marine Transportation (“DG Marine”) is one of our wholly-owned consolidated subsidiaries, providing transportation services of petroleum products by barge that complements our other supply and logistics operations.  Originally formed in 2008, DG Marine was a joint venture in which we owned (directly and indirectly) a 49% economic interest.  The remaining 51% economic interest in DG Marine was owned by TD Marine, a related party. (See our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 for a description of our related party relationships.)
 
On July 29, 2010, we acquired TD Marine’s effective 51% interest in DG Marine for $25.5 million in cash, resulting in DG Marine becoming wholly-owned by us.  We funded the acquisition with proceeds from our credit agreement, including (i) paying off DG Marine’s stand-alone credit facility, which had an outstanding principal balance of $44.4 million, and (ii) settling DG Marine’s interest rate swaps, which resulted in $1.3 million being reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCL”) to interest expense in the third quarter of 2010.
 
As a result of this transaction, we reclassified the acquired noncontrolling interest in DG Marine of $21.3 million to Genesis Energy, L.P. partners’ capital. Additionally, we reduced our partners’ capital by $26.3 million for the costs related to the transaction ($25.5 million paid to TD Marine and $0.8 million in direct transaction costs associated with the acquisition). The net effect on Genesis Energy, L.P. partners’ capital in our Consolidated Balance Sheet for September 30, 2010 was a decrease of $5.0 million.

GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Until July 29, 2010, DG Marine was a variable interest entity as certain of our voting rights were not proportional to our 49% economic interest.  Accounting provisions required us to consolidate DG Marine and reflect the interest of TD Marine as a noncontrolling interest.

Debt
 
Our obligations under credit facilities consisted of the following:
 
   
September 30, 2010
   
December 31, 2009
 
             
Genesis Credit Facility, variable rate, due June 2015
  $ 426,000     $ 320,000  
DG Marine Credit Facility, variable rate
    -       46,900  
Total Long-Term Debt
  $ 426,000     $ 366,900  
 
On June 29, 2010, we restructured our senior secured credit agreement with a syndicate of banks led by BNP Paribas.  Among other changes, our credit agreement:
 
 
·
now matures on June 30, 2015;
 
 
·
provides for a $525 million senior secured revolving credit facility, with the ability to increase the size of the facility up to $650 million, with approval of lenders;
 
 
·
includes a $75 million hedged crude oil and petroleum products inventory loan sublimit based on 90% of the hedged value of the inventory; and
 
 
·
no longer includes “borrowing base” limitations except with respect to inventory loans.
 
Our inventory borrowing base is recalculated monthly.  At September 30, 2010, our inventory borrowing base was $50.4 million.
 
At September 30, 2010, we had $426 million borrowed under our credit agreement, with $50.4 million of that amount designated as a loan under the inventory sublimit.  Additionally, we had $4.3 million in letters of credit outstanding.
 
The key terms for rates under our credit agreement are as follows:
 
 
·
The interest rate on borrowings may be based on a eurodollar rate (“LIBOR”) or an Alternate Base Rate (“ABR”), at our option.  The interest rate on LIBOR borrowings is equal to the sum of (a) the LIBOR rate for the applicable interest period multiplied by the statutory reserve rate and (b) a margin that can range from 2.50% to 3.50%.  The interest rate on ABR borrowings is equal to the sum of (a) the greatest of (i) the prime rate established by BNP Paribas, (ii) the federal funds effective rate plus ½ of 1% and (iii) the LIBOR rate for a one-month maturity plus 1%, and (b) a margin that can range from 1.50% to 2.50%.  The applicable margin under either option is based on our leverage ratio as computed under our credit agreement.  Our leverage ratio is recalculated quarterly and in connection with each material acquisition.  At September 30, 2010, our borrowing rate margins were 2.75% and 1.75% for LIBOR and ABR borrowings, respectively.

·
Letter of credit fees will range from 2.50% to 3.50% based on our leverage ratio as computed under our credit agreement.  This rate can fluctuate quarterly.  At September 30, 2010, our letter of credit rate was 2.75%.
 
 
·
We pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the $525 million facility amount.  The commitment fee is 0.50%.
 
Collateral under the credit facility consists of substantially all of our assets, excluding our security interest in the NEJD pipeline and our ownership interest in the Free State pipeline.  Our credit agreement is recourse to our general partner only with respect to its general partner interest in certain of our subsidiaries.
 
Our credit agreement contains customary covenants (affirmative, negative and financial) that limit the manner in which we may conduct our business.  Our credit agreement contains three primary financial covenants – a maximum leverage ratio, a maximum senior secured leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio.  In general, our leverage ratio calculations compare our consolidated funded debt (excluding the amounts borrowed under the inventory sublimit in our credit agreement) to EBITDA (as defined and adjusted in accordance with our credit agreement).  Our interest coverage ratio compares EBITDA (as adjusted) to interest expense.  Our credit agreement includes provisions for the temporary adjustment of the required ratios following material acquisitions and with lender approval.  So long as we are in compliance with the terms of our credit agreement, we have no limitations on our ability to distribute all of our available cash (as defined in our partnership agreement).

We were in compliance with all applicable covenants of our credit agreement at September 30, 2010.

In connection with our purchase of TD Marine’s interest in DG Marine on July 29, 2010, the outstanding balance on the DG Marine credit facility was repaid.  See Note 2.
 
We believe the amounts included in our balance sheet for the debt outstanding under our revolving credit agreement approximate fair value due to the recent restructuring of our credit agreement.

Business Segment Information
 
We define Segment Margin as revenues less product costs, operating expenses (excluding non-cash charges, such as depreciation and amortization), and segment general and administrative expenses, plus our equity in distributable cash generated by our joint ventures.  Our Segment Margin definition also excludes the non-cash effects of our stock-based compensation plans, and includes the non-income portion of payments received under direct financing leases.  Our chief operating decision maker (our Chief Executive Officer) evaluates segment performance based on a variety of measures including Segment Margin, segment volumes where relevant and maintenance capital investment.

In connection with the sale of our general partner on February 5, 2010, our general partner redeemed all of its Class B Member Interests and replaced its Class A Member Interest with Series A units and Series B units.
 
Series B Units
 
Our general partner uses the Series B Units, which have no voting rights, as part of its long-term compensation structure for our management team.  A total of 1,000 Series B Units may be issued by our general partner.  Pursuant to restricted unit agreements entered into with Genesis Energy, LLC, our general partner, on February 5, 2010, certain members of our management team received an aggregate of 767 Series B units in our general partner.  Provided the holder of the Series B Units is still employed on the seventh anniversary of the issuance date of the awards, the Series B Units will be converted into Series A Units (unless a conversion occurs at a prior date due to a public offering or a change in control of our general partner).

Subject to the rights of the holders of the Series A units in our general partner to receive distributions up to certain threshold amounts, holders of Series B units, upon vesting, have the right to receive a share of the distributions paid by us to our general partner.  With regard to the right to receive a share of distributions, the Series B Units vest 25% per year on each of the next four anniversary dates of the award.  The four-year vesting requirement would also be applicable to any conversion due to a public offering should that conversion occur in the first four years after issuance of the award.

Although the Series B units represent an equity interest in our general partner and our general partner will not seek reimbursement under our partnership agreement for the value of these compensation arrangements, we will record non-cash expense for the estimated fair value of the awards.  The estimated fair value of the converted Series B units will be recomputed at each quarterly reporting date until conversion, and the expense to be recorded will be adjusted based on that fair value, with an offsetting entry to the capital account of our general partner.

Management’s estimates of the fair value of these awards are based on a number of future events, including estimates of the distributions that would be received by our general partner in the future through the conversion date of February 5, 2017, the fair value of our general partner at February 5, 2017, and assumptions about an appropriate discount rate.  Changes in our assumptions will change the amount of expense we record.

At September 30, 2010, management estimates that the fair value of the Series B Units granted to our management team is approximately $36.4 million.  This estimate of the fair value was determined using a discount rate of 14%.  Due to the limited number of holders of Series B Units, we assumed a forfeiture rate of zero.  For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded non-cash expense of $3.0 million and $3.5 million, respectively for these awards.
 
2007 Long Term Incentive Plan
 
As a result of the sale of our general partner on February 5, 2010, all outstanding phantom units issued pursuant to our 2007 Long Term Incentive Plan vested.   As a result of this acceleration of the vesting period, we recorded non-cash compensation expense of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2010.  In total, 123,857 phantom units vested.
 
Class B Membership Interests
 
All of the Class B membership interests in our general partner held by the existing management team were either (i) converted into Series A units in our general partner or (ii) redeemed by our general partner on February 5, 2010.  The amounts owed under the deferred compensation plan with the management team were similarly converted or redeemed.  In total, the value of the Series A units issued and cash payments made by our general partner to settle its obligations under the Class B membership interests and deferred compensation totaled $14.9 million. This value, when combined with amounts previously paid to our management team during 2009 related to the Class B membership interests, resulted in total compensation expense of $15.4 million.  The difference between the recorded cumulative compensation expense related to these interests through December 31, 2009 of $17.5 million and the total compensation expense of $15.4 million was recorded as a reduction of expense in the first quarter of 2010.

2010 Long Term Incentive Plan
 
In the second quarter of 2010, our general partner adopted the Genesis Energy, LLC 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”).  The 2010 Plan provides for the awards of phantom units and distribution equivalent rights to directors of our general partner, and employees and other representatives of our general partner and its affiliates who provide services to us.  Phantom units are notional units representing unfunded and unsecured promises to pay to the participant a specified amount of cash based on the market value of our common units should specified vesting requirements be met.  Distribution equivalent rights (“DERs”) are tandem rights to receive on a quarterly basis an amount of cash equal to the amount of distributions that would have been paid on the phantom units had they been limited partner units issued by us.  The 2010 Plan is administered by the Governance, Compensation and Business Development Committee (the “GCBD Committee”) of the board of directors of our general partner.

The GCBD Committee (at its discretion) will designate participants in the 2010 Plan, determine the types of awards to grant to participants, determine the number of units to be covered by any award, and determine the conditions and terms of any award including vesting, settlement and forfeiture conditions.  Awards under the 2010 Plan of 54,806 phantom units with tandem DERs were made in the first nine months of 2010.  The phantom units will vest on the third anniversary of the date of issuance.

The compensation cost associated with the phantom units is re-measured each reporting period based on the fair value of the phantom units, and the liability recorded for the estimated amount to be paid to the participants will be adjusted.  Management’s estimates of the fair value of these awards include assumptions about expectation of forfeitures prior to vesting.  Due to the positions of the small group of employees and non-employee directors who received these awards, we have assumed that there will be no forfeitures of these phantom units in our fair value calculation as of September 30, 2010.  At September 30, 2010, we estimate the fair value of these awards to be approximately $1.2 million, and we recorded $0.2 million of compensation expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Interest Rate Derivatives
 
Until July 29, 2010, DG Marine utilized swap contracts with financial institutions to hedge interest payments for a portion of its outstanding debt.  DG Marine expected these interest rate swap contracts to be highly effective in limiting its exposure to fluctuations in market interest rates; therefore, we designated these swap contracts as cash flow hedges under accounting guidance.  The effective portion of the derivative represented the change in fair value of the hedge that offset the change in cash flows of the hedged item.  The effective portion of the gain or loss in the fair value of these swap contracts was reported as a component of AOCL and was reclassified into future earnings contemporaneously as interest expense associated with the underlying debt under the DG Marine credit facility was recorded.    In the third quarter of 2010, we settled the DG Marine interest rate swaps in connection with our acquisition of the 51% of DG Marine that we did not own.  See Note 2.
