KANEB PIPE LINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Kaneb Pipe
Line Operating Partnership, L.P. and its subsidiaries (the "Partnership")
for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001,
have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Significant accounting policies
followed by the Partnership are disclosed in the notes to the consolidated
financial statements included in the Partnership's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. In the opinion of the
Partnership's management, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements contain the adjustments, consisting of normal recurring
accruals, necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position
of the Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries at September 30, 2002
and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the
periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001. Operating results for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of
the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002.
2. ACQUISITIONS AND FINANCINGS
In January of 2001, the Partnership used proceeds from its $275 million
revolving credit agreement to repay in full its $128 million of mortgage
notes. Under the provisions of the mortgage notes, the Partnership incurred
a $6.5 million prepayment penalty which, net of income taxes, was
recognized as an extraordinary expense in the first quarter of 2001.
In January of 2001, the Partnership acquired Shore Terminals LLC ("Shore")
for $107 million in cash and 1,975,090 Kaneb Pipe Line Partners, L.P.
("KPP") limited partnership units (valued at $56.5 million on the date of
agreement and its announcement). Financing for the cash portion of the
purchase price was supplied under the Partnership's revolving credit
agreement. The acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting.
In January of 2002, KPP, which holds a 99% interest in the Partnership,
issued 1,250,000 limited partnership units in a public offering at $41.65
per unit, generating approximately $49.7 million in net proceeds. The
proceeds were used to reduce the amount of indebtedness outstanding under
the Partnership's revolving credit agreement.
In February of 2002, the Partnership issued $250 million of 7.75% senior
unsecured notes due February 15, 2012. The net proceeds from the public
offering, $248.2 million, were used to repay the Partnership's revolving
credit agreement and to partially fund the acquisition of all of the
liquids terminaling subsidiaries of Statia Terminals Group NV ("Statia").
On February 28, 2002, the Partnership acquired Statia for approximately
$178 million in cash (net of acquired cash). The acquired Statia
subsidiaries had approximately $107 million in outstanding debt, including
$101 million of 11.75% notes due in November 2003. The cash portion of the
purchase price was funded by the Partnership's revolving credit agreement
and proceeds from the Partnership's February 2002 public debt offering.
Assuming the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2001, unaudited pro forma
revenues, net income would have been $296.3 million and $53.0 million,
respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2002. Unaudited pro
forma revenues and net income would have been $104.5 million and $18.0
million, respectively for the three months ended September 30, 2001 and
$309.6 million and $49.5 million, respectively, for the nine months ended
September 30, 2001.
In connection with the acquisition of Statia, the Partnership is in the
process of finalizing and implementing a plan to integrate Statia's
businesses with the Partnership's existing operations. The plan, when
finalized, is expected to provide for the severance and relocation of
certain administrative and operating employees and activities. Costs
associated with implementation, which will be recorded in the final
allocation of the Statia purchase price, will include employee severance
benefits, relocation costs and lease costs. The plan is expected to be
finalized and implemented by December 31, 2002. At September 30, 2002, $4.6
million was accrued for such costs.
In April of 2002, the Partnership redeemed all of Statia's 11.75% notes at
102.938% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. The redemption was
funded by the Partnership's revolving credit facility. Under the provisions
of the 11.75% notes, the Partnership incurred a $3.0 million prepayment
penalty, of which $2.0 million was recognized as an extraordinary expense
in the second quarter of 2002.
In May of 2002, KPP issued 1,565,000 limited partnership units in a public
offering at a price of $39.60 per unit, generating approximately $59.1
million in net proceeds. A portion of the offering proceeds were used to
fund the Partnership's September 2002 acquisition of the Australia and New
Zealand terminals.
On September 18, 2002, the Partnership acquired eight bulk liquid storage
terminals in Australia and New Zealand from Burns Philp & Co. Ltd. for
approximately $44 million in cash, subject to adjustment based on a closing
date balance sheet.
On November 1, 2002, the Partnership acquired an approximately 2,000 mile
anhydrous ammonia pipeline system from Koch Pipeline Company, L.P. for $140
million in cash, subject to normal post-closing adjustments. The
acquisition was financed by bank debt maturing in May of 2003.
In November of 2002, KPP issued 2,000,000 limited partnership units in a
public offering at $33.36 per unit, generating approximately $63.7 million
in net proceeds. The offering proceeds were used to reduce bank borrowings
for the Koch pipeline acquisition.

4. CASH DISTRIBUTIONS
The Partnership makes regular cash distributions in accordance with its
Partnership agreement within 45 days after the end of each quarter to
limited partner and general partner interests. Aggregate cash distributions
of $54.6 million and $45.9 million were paid to limited partner interests
and general partner interests for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
and 2001, respectively.
5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The operations of the Partnership are subject to Federal, state and local
laws and regulations in the United States and various foreign locations
relating to protection of the environment. Although the Partnership
believes its operations are in general compliance with applicable
environmental regulations, risks of additional costs and liabilities are
inherent in pipeline and terminal operations, and there can be no assurance
that significant costs and liabilities will not be incurred by the
Partnership. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as
increasingly stringent environmental laws, regulations and enforcement
policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property or persons
resulting from the operations of the Partnership, could result in
substantial costs and liabilities to the Partnership.
Certain subsidiaries of the Partnership were sued in a Texas state court in
1997 by Grace Energy Corporation ("Grace"), the entity from which the
Partnership acquired ST Services in 1993. The lawsuit involves
environmental response and remediation costs allegedly resulting from jet
fuel leaks in the early 1970's from a pipeline. The pipeline, which
connected a former Grace terminal with Otis Air Force Base in Massachusetts
(the "Otis pipeline" or the "pipeline"), ceased operations in 1973 and was
abandoned before 1978, when the connecting terminal was sold to an
unrelated entity. Grace alleged that subsidiaries of the Partnership
acquired the abandoned pipeline, as part of the acquisition of ST Services
in 1993 and assumed responsibility for environmental damages allegedly
caused by the jet fuel leaks. Grace sought a ruling from the Texas court
that these subsidiaries are responsible for all liabilities, including all
present and future remediation expenses, associated with these leaks and
that Grace has no obligation to indemnify these subsidiaries for these
expenses. In the lawsuit, Grace also sought indemnification for expenses of
approximately $3.5 million that it incurred since 1996 for response and
remediation required by the State of Massachusetts and for additional
expenses that it expects to incur in the future. The consistent position of
the Partnership's subsidiaries has been that they did not acquire the
abandoned pipeline as part of the 1993 ST Services transaction, and
therefore did not assume any responsibility for the environmental damage
nor any liability to Grace for the pipeline.
At the end of the trial, the jury returned a verdict including findings
that (1) Grace had breached a provision of the 1993 acquisition agreement
by failing to disclose matters related to the pipeline, and (2) the
pipeline was abandoned before 1978 -- 15 years before the Partnership's
subsidiaries acquired ST Services. On August 30, 2000, the Judge entered
final judgment in the case that Grace take nothing from the subsidiaries on
its claims seeking recovery of remediation costs. Although the
Partnership's subsidiaries have not incurred any expenses in connection
with the remediation, the court also ruled, in effect, that the
subsidiaries would not be entitled to indemnification from Grace if any
such expenses were incurred in the future. Moreover, the Judge let stand a
prior summary judgment ruling that the pipeline was an asset acquired by
the Partnership's subsidiaries as part of the 1993 ST Services transaction
and that any liabilities associated with the pipeline would have become
liabilities of the subsidiaries. Based on that ruling, the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection and Samson Hydrocarbons Company
(successor to Grace Petroleum Company) wrote letters to ST Services
alleging its responsibility for the remediation, and ST Services responded
denying any liability in connection with this matter. The Judge also
awarded attorney fees to Grace of more than $1.5 million. Both the
Partnership's subsidiaries and Grace have appealed the trial court's final
judgment to the Texas Court of Appeals in Dallas. In particular, the
subsidiaries have filed an appeal of the judgment finding that the Otis
pipeline and any liabilities associated with the pipeline were transferred
to them as well as the award of attorney fees to Grace.
On April 2, 2001, Grace filed a petition in bankruptcy, which created an
automatic stay against actions against Grace. This automatic stay covers
the appeal of the Dallas litigation, and the Texas Court of Appeals has
issued an order staying all proceedings of the appeal because of the
bankruptcy. Once that stay is lifted, the Partnership's subsidiaries that
are party to the lawsuit intend to resume vigorous prosecution of the
appeal.
The Otis Air Force Base is a part of the Massachusetts Military Reservation
("MMR Site"), which has been declared a Superfund Site pursuant to CERCLA.
The MMR Site contains nine groundwater contamination plumes, two of which
are allegedly associated with the Otis pipeline, and various other waste
management areas of concern, such as landfills. The United States
Department of Defense and the United States Coast Guard, pursuant to a
Federal Facilities Agreement, have been responding to the Government
remediation demand for most of the contamination problems at the MMR Site.
Grace and others have also received and responded to formal inquiries from
the United States Government in connection with the environmental damages
allegedly resulting from the jet fuel leaks. The Partnership's subsidiaries
voluntarily responded to an invitation from the Government to provide
information indicating that they do not own the pipeline. In connection
with a court-ordered mediation between Grace and the Partnership's
subsidiaries, the Government advised the parties in April 1999 that it has
identified two spill areas that it believes to be related to the pipeline
that is the subject of the Grace suit. The Government at that time advised
the parties that it believed it had incurred costs of approximately $34
million, and expected in the future to incur costs of approximately $55
million, for remediation of one of the spill areas. This amount was not
intended to be a final accounting of costs or to include all categories of
costs. The Government also advised the parties that it could not at that
time allocate its costs attributable to the second spill area.
By letter dated July 26, 2001, the United States Department of Justice
("DOJ") advised ST Services that the Government intends to seek
reimbursement from ST Services under the Massachusetts Oil and Hazardous
Material Release Prevention and Response Act and the Declaratory Judgment
Act for the Government's response costs at the two spill areas discussed
above. The DOJ relied in part on the Texas state court judgment, which in
the DOJ's view, held that ST Services was the current owner of the pipeline
and the successor-in-interest of the prior owner and operator. The
Government advised ST Services that it believes it has incurred costs
exceeding $40 million, and expects to incur future costs exceeding an
additional $22 million, for remediation of the two spill areas. The
Partnership believes that its subsidiaries have substantial defenses. ST
Services responded to the DOJ on September 6, 2001, contesting the
Government's positions and declining to reimburse any response costs. The
DOJ has not filed a lawsuit against ST Services seeking cost recovery for
its environmental investigation and response costs. Representatives of ST
Services have met with representatives of the Government on two occasions
since September 6, 2001 to discuss the Government's claims and to exchange
information related to such claims. Additional exchanges of information are
expected to occur in the future and additional meetings may be held to
discuss possible resolution of the Government's claims without litigation.
On April 7, 2000, a fuel oil pipeline in Maryland owned by Potomac Electric
Power Company ("PEPCO") ruptured. Work performed with regard to the
pipeline was conducted by a partnership of which ST Services is general
partner. PEPCO has reported that it has incurred total cleanup costs of $70
million to $75 million. PEPCO probably will continue to incur some cleanup
related costs for the foreseeable future, primarily in connection with EPA
requirements for monitoring the condition of some of the impacted areas.
Since May 2000, ST Services has provisionally contributed a minority share
of the cleanup expense, which has been funded by ST Services' insurance
carriers. ST Services and PEPCO have not, however, reached a final
agreement regarding ST Services' proportionate responsibility for this
cleanup effort, if any, and cannot predict the amount, if any, that
ultimately may be determined to be ST Services' share of the remediation
expense, but it believes that such amount will be covered by insurance and
therefore will not materially adversely affect the Partnership's financial
condition.
As a result of the rupture, purported class actions were filed against
PEPCO and ST Services in federal and state court in Maryland by property
and business owners alleging damages in unspecified amounts under various
theories, including under the Oil Pollution Act ("OPA") and Maryland common
law. The federal court consolidated all of the federal cases in a case
styled as In re Swanson Creek Oil Spill Litigation. A settlement of the
consolidated class action, and a companion state-court class action, was
reached and approved by the federal judge. The settlement involved creation
and funding by PEPCO and ST Services of a $2,250,000 class settlement fund,
from which all participating claimants would be paid according to a
court-approved formula, as well as a court-approved payment to plaintiffs'
attorneys. The settlement has been consummated and the fund, to which PEPCO
and ST Services contributed equal amounts, has been distributed.
Participating claimants' claims have been settled and dismissed with
prejudice. A number of class members elected not to participate in the
settlement, i.e., to "opt out," thereby preserving their claims against
PEPCO and ST Services. Those electing not to participate in the settlement
include 23 plaintiffs in a lawsuit in Maryland state court who allege
damage to their property from the oil spill, two individuals who have filed
separate lawsuits alleging damage to their property from the oil spill, as
well as a small number of other individuals who have not filed lawsuits and
whose intentions are currently unknown to ST Services. ST Services'
insurance carrier has assumed the defense of the continuing actions and ST
Services believes that the carrier would assume the defense of any new
litigation by a non-participant in the settlement, should any such
litigation be commenced. While the Partnership cannot predict the amount,
if any, of any liability it may have in the continuing actions or in other
potential suits relating to this matter, it believes that the current and
potential plaintiffs' claims will be covered by insurance and therefore
these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial
condition.
PEPCO and ST Services have agreed with the federal government and the State
of Maryland to pay costs of assessing natural resource damages arising from
the Swanson Creek oil spill under OPA. ST Services' insurer has paid ST
Services' agreed 50 percent share of these assessment costs. The assessment
process is substantially complete and ST Services anticipates that the
federal government and the state of Maryland will conclude that a total of
approximately $2.7 million of compensable natural resource damages occurred
as a result of the oil spill. ST Services has no agreement at this time
with the federal government or the State of Maryland, nor with PEPCO,
concerning payment for natural resource damages or restoration of damaged
resources. The Partnership believes that both the assessment costs and such
damages are covered by insurance and therefore will not materially
adversely affect the Partnership's financial condition.
The U.S. Department of Transportation ("DOT") has issued a Notice of
Proposed Violation to PEPCO and ST Services alleging violations over
several years of pipeline safety regulations and proposing a civil penalty
of $647,000 jointly against the two companies. ST Services and PEPCO have
contested the DOT allegations and the proposed penalty. A hearing was held
before the Office of Pipeline Safety at the DOT in late 2001. ST Services
does not anticipate any further hearings on the subject and is still
awaiting the DOT's ruling.
By letter dated January 4, 2002, the Attorney General's Office for the
State of Maryland advised ST Services that it intended to seek penalties
from ST Services in connection with the April 7, 2000 spill. The State of
Maryland subsequently asserted that it would seek penalties against ST
Services and PEPCO totaling up to $12 million. A settlement of this claim
has been reached in principle under which ST Services' insurer will pay a
total of slightly more than $1 million in installments over a five year
period. PEPCO has also reached a settlement of these claims with the State
of Maryland. Accordingly, the Partnership believes that this matter will
not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition.
The Partnership has other contingent liabilities resulting from litigation,
claims and commitments incident to the ordinary course of business.
Management believes, based on the advice of counsel, that the ultimate
resolution of such contingencies will not have a materially adverse effect
on the financial position or results of operations of the Partnership.
6. BUSINESS SEGMENT DATA
The Partnership conducts business through three principal segments; the
"Pipeline Operations," which consists primarily of the transportation of
refined petroleum products in the Midwestern states as a common carrier,
the "Terminaling Operations," which provides storage for petroleum
products, specialty chemicals and other liquids, and the "Product Sales
Operations", which delivers bunker fuels to ships in the Caribbean and Nova
Scotia, Canada and sells bulk petroleum products to various commercial
interests.
The Partnership measures segment profit as operating income. Total assets
are those controlled by each reportable segment. Business segment data is

7. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
In August of 2000, the Partnership filed a shelf registration statement on
Form S-3 for the issuance of up to $500 million of public debt securities.
At September 30, 2002, $250 million remained available for issuance under
the shelf registration statement. In September of 2002, the Partnership
entered into a Treasury Lock Contract, maturing on November 4, 2002, for
the purpose of locking in the US Treasury interest rate component on $150
million of anticipated thirty-year public debt offerings. The Treasury Lock
Contract called for a net cash settlement on the maturity date, based on
the difference between the contract's fixed interest rate and the
applicable US Treasury yield on maturity. As the Treasury Lock Contract
qualified as a cash flow hedging instrument under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, unrealized gains and losses for the
applicable reporting period are recorded in other comprehensive income,
along with an asset or liability in the same amount, based on the fair
value of the contract. Upon completion of the anticipated public debt
offering, the gain or loss realized on the Treasury Lock Contract at
settlement date would be recognized as a component of interest expense over
the life of the public debt instrument. At September 30, 2002, the
Partnership had an unrealized loss of approximately $5.3 million, which was
recognized in other comprehensive income in the third quarter of 2002.
In October of 2002, the Partnership, due to various market factors, elected
to defer issuance of the public debt securities, effectively eliminating
the cash flow hedging designation for the Treasury Lock Contract. On
October 29, 2002, the contract was settled resulting in a net realized gain
of $3.0 million, which will be recognized as a component of net income for
the fourth quarter of 2002.
8. ADOPTION OF RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective January 1, 2002, the Partnership adopted SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill
and Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"), which eliminates the
amortization for goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite
lives. Under SFAS No. 142, intangible assets with lives restricted by
contractual, legal, or other means will continue to be amortized over their
useful lives. As of September 30, 2002, the Partnership had no intangible
assets subject to amortization under SFAS No. 142. Goodwill and other
intangible assets not subject to amortization are tested for impairment
annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate
that the assets might be impaired. SFAS No. 142 requires a two-step process
for testing impairment. First, the fair value of each reporting unit is
compared to its carrying value to determine whether an indication of
impairment exists. If an impairment is indicated, then the fair value of
the reporting unit's goodwill is determined by allocating the unit's fair
value to its assets and liabilities (including any unrecognized intangible
assets) as if the reporting unit had been acquired in a business
combination. The amount of impairment for goodwill is measured as the
excess of its carrying value over its fair value. Based on valuations and
analysis performed by the Partnership in the second quarter of 2002, the
Partnership determined that the implied fair value of its goodwill exceeded
carrying value, and therefore, no impairment charge was necessary. Goodwill
amortization included in the results of operations of the Partnership for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2001 was not material.
Additionally, effective January 1, 2002, the Partnership adopted SFAS No.
144 "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets", which
addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or disposal
of long-lived assets. The adoption of SFAS No. 144, which superceded SFAS
No. 121, did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial
statements of the Partnership.

=========== =========== =========== ===========
Pipeline revenues are based on volumes shipped and the distances over which
such volumes are transported. For the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2002, revenues increased by 4% and 5%, respectively, compared
to the same 2001 periods, due to higher per barrel rates realized on
volumes shipped. Barrel miles totaled 5.0 billion for each of the three
month periods ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, and 13.7
billion and 13.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2002 and
2001, respectively.
Operating costs, which include fuel and power costs, materials and
supplies, maintenance and repair costs, salaries, wages and employee
benefits, and property and other taxes, increased by $1.1 million and $1.2
million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002,
respectively, when compared to 2001, due primarily to expenditures for
routine repairs and maintenance. General and administrative costs, which
include managerial, accounting, and administrative personnel costs, office
rental and expense, legal and professional costs and other non-operating
costs, remained relatively flat for the three month period ended September
30, 2002, and increased by $0.6 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2002, due primarily to first quarter 2002 increases in professional
services and personnel related costs.

Terminaling revenues increased by $21.0 million and $50.7 million,
respectively, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30,
2002, compared to the same 2001 periods, due to the Statia acquisition (see
"Liquidity and Capital Resources") and overall increases in utilization at
existing locations. Average annual tankage utilized for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2002 increased to 47.8 million and 45.3
million barrels, respectively, up from 30.0 million and 30.1 million
barrels, respectively, for the comparable prior year periods. For the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, average annualized
revenues per barrel of tankage utilized increased to $4.50 and $4.43 per
barrel, respectively, compared to $4.40 and $4.42 per barrel, respectively,
for the same prior year periods.
For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, operating
costs increased by $8.5 million and $20.9 million, respectively, when
compared to the same 2001 periods, the result of the Statia acquisition and
increases in volumes stored. General and administrative costs for the three
and nine month periods ended September 30, 2002, increased by $1.8 million
and $5.1 million, respectively, when compared to the same 2001 periods, due
to the Statia acquisition and overall increases in personnel costs.

The product sales business, which was acquired with Statia on February 28,
2002, delivers bunker fuels to ships in the Caribbean and Nova Scotia,
Canada and sells bulk petroleum products to various commercial interests.
For the three months ended September 30, 2002, product sales revenues,
gross margin and operating loss were $28.1 million, $1.6 million and $0.1
million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2002,
product sales revenues, gross margin and operating income were $63.7
million, $4.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
Interest and Other Income
In March of 2001, the Partnership entered into two contracts for the
purpose of locking in interest rates on $100 million of anticipated
ten-year public debt offerings. As the interest rate locks were not
designated as hedging instruments pursuant to the requirements of Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 133, increases or decreases
in the fair value of the contracts are included as a component of interest
and other income. On May 22, 2001, the contracts were settled resulting in
an aggregate gain of $3.8 million.
Interest Expense
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002, interest expense
increased by $3.8 million and $8.0 million, respectively, compared to the
same 2001 periods, due to increases in debt resulting from the Statia
acquisition, partially offset by overall declines in variable interest
rates.
Income Tax Provision
Income tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2002
includes $0.9 million and $1.7 million, respectively, in income tax expense
relating to separate taxable wholly-owned corporate subsidiaries acquired
with Statia.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
During the first nine months of 2002, the Partnership's working capital
requirements for operations, capital expenditures (excluding acquisitions)
and cash distributions were funded through the use of internally generated
funds.
Cash provided by operations was $70.8 million and $80.3 million for the
nine months ended September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively. The decrease
in cash provided by operations for the nine months ended September 30,
2002, compared to the same 2001 period, was due to changes in working
capital components resulting from the timing of cash receipts and
disbursements. Capital expenditures (excluding acquisitions) were $21.9
million for the nine months ended September 30, 2002, compared to $9.6
million during the same 2001 period. The increase in 2002 capital
expenditures, when compared to 2001, is the result of higher than normal
2002 maintenance capital expenditures in both the pipeline and terminaling
businesses and maintenance capital expenditures related to the acquired
Statia operations.
The Partnership has a credit agreement with a group of banks that provides
for a $275 million unsecured revolving credit facility through December
2003. The credit facility bears interest at variable rates and has a
variable commitment fee on unutilized amounts. The credit facility contains
certain financial and operational covenants, including limitations on
investments, sales of assets and transactions with affiliates, and, absent
an event of default, the covenants do not restrict distributions to
unitholders. At September 30, 2002, $243.0 million was drawn on the
facility, at an interest rate of 3.12%.
In January of 2001, the Partnership used proceeds from its revolving credit
agreement to repay in full its $128 million of mortgage notes. Under the
provisions of the mortgage notes, the Partnership incurred a $6.5 million
prepayment penalty which, net of income taxes, was recognized as an
extraordinary expense in the first quarter of 2001.
In January of 2001, the Partnership acquired Shore Terminals LLC ("Shore")
for $107 million in cash and 1,975,090 Kaneb Pipe Line Partners, L.P.
("KPP") limited partnership units (valued at $56.5 million on the date of
agreement and its announcement). Financing for the cash portion of the
purchase price was supplied by the Partnership's revolving credit
agreement.
In January of 2002, the KPP, which holds a 99% interest in the Partnership,
issued 1,250,000 limited partnership units in a public offering at $41.65
per unit, generating approximately $49.7 million in net proceeds. The
proceeds were used to reduce the amount of indebtedness outstanding under
the Partnership's revolving credit agreement.
In February of 2002, the Partnership issued $250 million of 7.75% senior
unsecured notes due February 15, 2012. The net proceeds from the public
offering, $248.2 million, were used to repay the Partnership's revolving
credit agreement and to partially fund the acquisition of all of the
liquids terminaling subsidiaries of Statia Terminals Group NV ("Statia").
On February 28, 2002, the Partnership acquired Statia for approximately
$178 million in cash (net of acquired cash). The acquired Statia
subsidiaries had approximately $107 million in outstanding debt, including
$101 million of 11.75% notes due in November 2003. The cash portion of the
purchase price was funded by the Partnership's revolving credit agreement
and proceeds from the Partnership's February 2002 public debt offering.
In April of 2002, the Partnership redeemed all of Statia's 11.75% notes at
102.938% of the principal amount, plus accrued interest. The redemption was
funded by the Partnership's revolving credit facility. Under the provisions
of the 11.75% notes, the Partnership incurred a $3.0 million prepayment
penalty, of which $2.0 million was recognized as an extraordinary expense
in the second quarter of 2002.
In May of 2002, KPP issued 1,565,000 limited partnership units in a public
offering at a price of $39.60 per unit, generating approximately $59.1
million in net proceeds. A portion of the offering proceeds were used to
fund the Partnership's September 2002 acquisition of the Australia and New
Zealand terminals.
On September 18, 2002, the Partnership acquired eight bulk liquid storage
terminals in Australia and New Zealand from Burns Philp & Co. Ltd. for
approximately $44 million in cash, subject to adjustment based on a closing
date balance sheet.
On November 1, 2002, the Partnership acquired an approximately 2,000 mile
anhydrous ammonia pipeline system from Koch Pipeline Company, L.P. for $140
million in cash, subject to normal post-closing adjustments. The
acquisition was financed by bank debt maturing in May of 2003.
In November of 2002, KPP issued 2,000,000 limited partnership units in a
public offering at $33.36 per unit, generating approximately $63.7 million
in net proceeds. The offering proceeds were used to reduce bank borrowings
for the Koch pipeline acquisition.
In August of 2000, the Partnership filed a shelf registration statement on
Form S-3 for the issuance of up to $500 million of public debt securities.
At September 30, 2002, $250 million remained available for issuance under
the shelf registration statement. In September of 2002, the Partnership
entered into a Treasury Lock Contract, maturing on November 4, 2002, for
the purpose of locking in the US Treasury interest rate component on $150
million of anticipated thirty-year public debt offerings. The Treasury Lock
Contract called for a net cash settlement on the maturity date, based on
the difference between the contract's fixed interest rate and the
applicable US Treasury yield on maturity. As the Treasury Lock Contract
qualified as a cash flow hedging instrument under SFAS No. 133, unrealized
gains and losses for the applicable reporting period are recorded in other
comprehensive income, along with an asset or liability in the same amount,
based on the fair value of the contract. Upon completion of the anticipated
public debt offering, the gain or loss realized on the Treasury Lock
Contract at settlement date would be recognized as a component of interest
expense over the life of the public debt instrument. At September 30, 2002,
the Partnership had an unrealized loss of approximately $5.3 million, which
was recognized in other comprehensive income in the third quarter of 2002.
In October of 2002, the Partnership, due to various market factors, elected
to defer issuance of the public debt securities, effectively eliminating
the cash flow hedging designation for the Treasury Lock Contract. On
October 29, 2002, the contract was settled resulting in a net realized gain
of $3.0 million, which will be recognized as a component of net income in
the fourth quarter of 2002.
The Partnership makes regular cash distributions in accordance with its
Partnership agreement within 45 days after the end of each quarter to
limited partner and general partner interests. Aggregate cash distributions
of $54.6 million and $45.9 million were paid to limited partner interests
and general partner interests for the nine months ended September 30, 2002
and 2001, respectively.
The Partnership expects to fund future cash distributions and maintenance
capital expenditures with existing cash and anticipated cash flows from
operations. Expansionary capital expenditures are expected to be funded
through additional Partnership borrowings and/or future KPP public unit
offerings.
Additional information relative to sources and uses of cash is presented in
the financial statements included in this report.
Information regarding the Partnership's Critical Accounting Policies is
included in Item 7 of the Partnership's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2001.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
The FASB has issued SFAS No. 143 "Accounting for Asset Retirement
Obligations", which establishes requirements for the removal-type costs
associated with asset retirements. The Partnership is currently assessing
the impact of SFAS No. 143, which must be adopted in the first quarter of
2003.
In April of 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, which, among other items,
affects the income statement classification of gains and losses from early
extinguishment of debt. Under SFAS No. 145, which must be adopted by the
first quarter of 2003, early extinguishment of debt is now considered a
risk management strategy, with resulting gains and losses no longer
classified an extraordinary item, unless the debt extinguishment meets
certain unusual in nature and infrequency of occurrence criteria, which is
expected to be rare. Upon adoption, companies must reclassify prior items
that do not meet the new extraordinary item classification criteria as a
component of operating income. Had the provisions of SFAS No. 145 been
applied at September 30, 2002, the extraordinary items (before minority
interest and income taxes) recorded for the nine month periods ended
September 30, 2002 and 2001, respectively, would be reclassified as
components of operating income. Adoption of SFAS No. 145 will have no
effect on the net income of the Partnership.
In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146 "Accounting for Costs Associated
with Exit or Disposal Activities", which requires all restructurings
initiated after December 31, 2002 be recorded when they are incurred and
can be measured at fair value. The Partnership is currently assessing the
impact of SFAS No. 146, which must be adopted in the first quarter of 2003.
KANEB PIPE LINE OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk
The principal market risks (i.e., the risk of loss arising from the adverse
changes in market rates and prices) to which the Partnership is exposed are
interest rates on the Partnership's debt and investment portfolios. The
Partnership's investment portfolio consists of cash equivalents; accordingly,
the carrying amounts approximate fair value. The Partnership's investments are
not material to its financial position or performance. Assuming variable rate
debt of $243.0 million at September 30, 2002, a one percent increase in interest
rates would increase annual net interest expense by approximately $2.4 million.
Information regarding the Partnership's September 2002 interest rate hedging
transaction is included in Liquidity and Capital Resources.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
In its recent Release No. 34-46427, effective August 29, 2002, the SEC, among
other things, adopted rules requiring reporting companies to maintain disclosure
controls and procedures to provide reasonable assurance that a registrant is
able to record, process, summarize and report the information required in the
registrant's quarterly and annual reports under the Securities Act of 1934 (the
"Exchange Act"). While the Partnership believes that its disclosure controls and
procedures have been effective to accomplish these objectives, the Partnership
intends to continue to examine, refine and formalize its disclosure controls and
procedures and to monitor ongoing developments in this area.
The principal executive officer and the principal financial officer of Kaneb
Pipe Line Company LLC, the general partner, have informed the Partnership that,
based upon their evaluation within 90 days of the date of this filing of the
Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c)
and Rule 15d-14(c) under the Exchange Act), they have concluded that those
disclosure controls and procedures are effective.
There have been no changes in the Partnership's internal controls or in the
other factors known to the Partnership that could significantly affect these
controls subsequent to their evaluation, nor have any corrective actions with
regard to significant deficiencies and material weaknesses been necessary.
