SCURLOCK PERMIAN BUSINESSES
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 (UNAUDITED)
1. Scurlock Permian LLC (SPLLC) was a wholly owned subsidiary of Marathon
Ashland Petroleum LLC (MAP). MAP was formed effective January 1, 1998, and
is owned 62% by Marathon Oil Company (Marathon) and 38% by Ashland Inc.
(Ashland).
On March 17, 1999, MAP entered into an agreement with Plains Marketing,
L.P. (Plains) providing for the sale of MAP's membership interest in SPLLC
and certain other pipeline assets (collectively, the Scurlock Permian
Businesses or the Company) to Plains. This transaction was consummated on
May 12, 1999. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the sale.
The accompanying financial statements pertain to the businesses that were
sold to Plains and represent a carve-out financial statement presentation
of a MAP operating unit as of March 31, 1999 and for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 and 1998. The unaudited interim financial statements reflect
all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, which in the
opinion of MAP's management are necessary for a fair statement of the
results for the interim periods presented. The financial statements include
allocations and estimates of direct and indirect MAP corporate
administrative costs attributable to the Company. The methods by which such
amounts are attributed or allocated are deemed reasonable by MAP's
management. The financial information herein is not necessarily indicative
of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows that would
have been reported if the Company had operated as an unaffiliated
enterprise, nor is it indicative of future results.
In connection with the formation of MAP, Marathon acquired certain
refining, marketing and transportation net assets, including the operations
comprising SPLLC, from Ashland in exchange for a 38% interest in MAP. The
acquisition of Ashland's net assets was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting.
The Company is an independent gatherer and marketer of crude oil in the
United States, operating in 14 states. Major operations consist of
pipeline, barge and truck operations. The pipeline component owns and
operates more than 2,400 miles of active pipelines that transport crude oil
from leases and unloading stations to major pipeline connections and
terminals. The barge facilities consist of eight owned barge terminals
located in Louisiana and Texas. The truck operations consist of a fleet of
more than 225 units transporting crude to various locations.
2. For the quarters ended March 31, 1999 and 1998, the Company was treated as
a partnership for federal and most state income tax purposes, and the tax
effect of its activities accrued to Marathon and Ashland. As a result, no
provision for federal or state income taxes has been made in the
accompanying financial statements.
3. For purposes of these separate financial statements, payables and
receivables related to transactions between the Company and MAP are
included as a component of the Parent Company investment. Transactions
during the first quarter of 1999 and 1998 between the Scurlock Permian
Businesses and Marathon and Ashland are considered to be related party
transactions.
4. At December 31, 1998, the Company recorded a charge to costs and expenses
of approximately $10 million to reflect an inventory market valuation
reserve. Such amount represented the amount by which the recorded LIFO cost
basis of crude oil inventory exceeded net realizable value as of such date.
At March 31, 1999, the inventory market valuation reserve was released due
to increased crude oil prices and inventory turnover and the Company
recognized a non cash credit to costs and expenses of approximately
$10 million.

5. The Company is the subject of, or party to, a number of pending or
threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a variety
of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment.
Under the agreement for the sale of the Company by MAP to Plains, MAP has
agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and Plains for claims,
liabilities and losses (collectively "Losses") resulting from any act or
omission attributable to the Company's business or properties occurring
prior to the date of the closing of such sale to the extent the aggregate
amount of such Losses exceed $1 million; provided however, that claims for
such Losses must be asserted by the Company against MAP on or before May
15, 2003. Certain identified Losses and the first $25,000 of any individual
claim are not included in the calculation of the foregoing $1 million
indemnification threshold.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
SCURLOCK PERMIAN BUSINESSES
NOTE A - BUSINESS DESCRIPTION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Scurlock Permian LLC (SPLLC) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Marathon Ashland
Petroleum LLC (MAP). MAP was formed effective January 1, 1998, and is owned 62%
by Marathon Oil Company (Marathon) and 38% by Ashland Inc. (Ashland). Prior to
January 1, 1998, SPLLC was organized as a stock corporation named Scurlock
Permian Corporation and was a wholly owned subsidiary of Ashland. Throughout
these financial statements, the term, Parent Company, relates to MAP for 1998
and Ashland for 1997 and 1996.
On March 17, 1999, MAP entered into an agreement with Plains Marketing, L.P.
(Plains) providing for the sale of MAP's membership interest in SPLLC and
certain other pipeline assets (collectively, the Scurlock Permian Businesses or
the Company) to Plains. This transaction is anticipated to be consummated in the
second quarter of 1999. The accompanying financial statements do not include any
adjustments that might result from the proposed sale.
The accompanying financial statements pertain to the business that is being sold
to Plains and represent a carve-out financial statement presentation of a MAP
operating unit as of and for the year ended December 31, 1998, and of Scurlock
Permian Corporation (the Predecessor) as of December 31, 1997 and 1996 and for
the years then ended. The financial statements include allocations and estimates
of direct and indirect Parent Company corporate administrative costs
attributable to the Company or the Predecessor as described in Note D. The
methods by which such amounts are attributed or allocated are deemed reasonable
by the Parent Company's management. The financial information herein is not
necessarily indicative of the financial position, results of operations and cash
flows that would have been reported if the Company or the Predecessor had
operated as an unaffiliated enterprise, nor is it indicative of future results.
In connection with the formation of MAP, Marathon acquired certain refining,
marketing and transportation net assets, including the operations comprising
SPLLC, from Ashland in exchange for a 38% interest in MAP. The acquisition of
Ashland's net assets was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.
As a result, the financial statements of the Scurlock Permian Businesses for the
year ended December 31, 1998, were prepared on a different basis than the
financial statements of the Predecessor for the years ended December 31, 1997
and 1996. Due to this lack of comparability, a "black line" has been used to
separate the reporting periods.
The Company and the Predecessor are independent gatherers and marketers of crude
oil in the United States, operating in 14 states. Major operations consist of
pipeline, barge and truck operations. The pipeline component owns and operates
more than 2,400 miles of active pipelines that transport crude oil from leases
and unloading stations to major pipeline connections and terminals. The barge
facilities consist of eight owned barge terminals located in Louisiana and
Texas. The truck operations consist of a fleet of more than 250 units
transporting crude to various locations.
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
PRINCIPLES APPLIED IN CONSOLIDATION - The investment in the entity over which
the Company or the Predecessor has significant influence is accounted for using
the equity method. The proportionate share of income from this equity method
investment is included in revenues. The investment in the other entity over
which the Company or the Predecessor does not have significant influence and
whose stock does not have a readily determinable fair value is carried at cost.
USE OF ESTIMATES - Generally accepted accounting principles require management
to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at year end and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Significant items
subject to such estimates and assumptions include the carrying value of long-
lived assets, valuation allowances for receivables and inventories,
environmental liabilities and liabilities for potential claims and settlements.
Actual results could differ from the estimates and assumptions used.
REVENUE RECOGNITION - Revenues principally include sales, equity income and
gains or losses on the disposal of assets. Sales are recognized when products
are shipped or services are provided to customers. Matching crude oil buy/sell
transactions settled in cash are included in both revenues and costs and
expenses, with no effect on income. As of December 31, 1998 and 1997,
receivables from two customers comprised 11 percent and 12 percent,
respectively, of total receivables.
F-12
<PAGE>
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - Continued
NOTE B - SUMMARY OF PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES - Continued
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and
on deposit. The Company and the Predecessor participate in the Parent Company's
centralized funding and cash management system (non-interest bearing) (see
Note D).
Inventories - Inventories are carried at lower of cost or market. Cost of
inventories is determined primarily under the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS - The Company and the Predecessor engage in commodity
risk management activities within the normal course of its business as an end-
user of derivative instruments (see Note M). Management is authorized to manage
exposure to price fluctuations related to the purchase and sale of crude oil
through the use of derivative non-financial instruments. Derivative non-
financial instruments require or permit settlement by delivery of commodities
and include exchange-traded commodity futures contracts. The Company's and the
Predecessor's practices do not permit derivative positions to remain open if the
underlying physical market risk has been removed. Changes in the market value of
derivative instruments are deferred, including both closed and open positions,
and are subsequently recognized in income, as sales or cost of sales, in the
same period as the underlying transaction. The margin receivable accounts
required for open commodity contracts reflect changes in the market prices of
the underlying commodity and are settled on a daily basis.
Recorded deferred gains or losses are reflected within other current assets or
accounts payable. Cash flows from the use of derivative instruments are reported
in the same category as the hedged item in the Statement of Cash Flows.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS - Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost and are
depreciated principally by the straight-line method based on estimated useful
lives of: a) 15 years for right of way, b) 5 to 15 years for building and
furniture, and c) 3 to 15 years for transportation and terminal equipment.
Impairment of assets is evaluated on an individual asset basis or by logical
groupings of assets. Assets deemed to be impaired are written down to their fair
value, including any related goodwill, using discounted future cash flows and,
if available, comparable market values.
ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES - Provision is made for remediation costs and
penalties when the responsibility to remediate is probable and the amount of
associated costs is reasonably determinable. Generally, the timing of
remediation accruals coincides with completion of a feasibility study or the
commitment to a formal plan of action. Remediation liabilities are accrued based
on estimates of known environmental exposure (see Note N).
INSURANCE - The Company and the Predecessor maintain insurance for catastrophic
casualty and certain property and business interruption exposures, as well as
those risks required to be insured by law or contract. Costs resulting from
noninsured losses are charged against income upon occurrence.
INCOME TAXES - For the year ended December 31, 1998, the Company was treated as
a partnership for federal and most state income tax purposes, and the tax effect
of its activities accrued to Marathon and Ashland. As a result, no provision for
federal or state income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial
statements for 1998 activity.
Prior to January 1, 1998, when the Predecessor was wholly owned by Ashland, it
operated as a corporation. Accordingly, these financial statements include a
provision for income taxes for the periods ended December 31, 1997 and 1996.
Income taxes pertaining to the years 1997 and 1996 are computed on a separate
return basis using the liability method as prescribed by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." Because the
Predecessor was included in the federal and state income tax returns filed by
Ashland, the calculation of the related tax provisions and deferred taxes
necessarily requires certain assumptions, allocations and estimates which
management believes are reasonable to reflect the tax reporting for the
Predecessor as a stand-alone taxpayer.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The carrying values of most financial
instruments are based on historical costs. The carrying values of cash and cash
equivalents, receivables and payables approximate their fair value due to the
short-term maturity of these instruments.

NOTE C - NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments
and Hedging Activities" (SFAS No. 133). This new standard requires recognition
of all derivatives as either assets or liabilities at fair value. SFAS No. 133
may result in additional volatility in both current period earnings and other
comprehensive income as a result of recording recognized and unrecognized gains
and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivative instruments.
SFAS 133 requires a comprehensive review of all outstanding derivative
instruments to determine whether or not their use meets the hedge accounting
criteria. It is possible that there will be derivative instruments employed in
the Company's businesses that do not meet all of the designated hedge criteria,
and they will be reflected in income on a mark-to-market basis. Based upon the
strategies currently employed by the Company, the relatively short-term duration
of most of the Company's derivative strategies, and the level of activity
related to commodity-based derivative instruments in recent periods, the Company
does not anticipate the effect of adoption to have a material impact on either
financial position or results of operations. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No.
133 effective January 1, 2000, as required.
NOTE D - PARENT COMPANY INVESTMENT, ALLOCATIONS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
For purposes of these separate financial statements, payables and receivables
related to transactions between the Company and MAP and the Predecessor and
Ashland, as well as payables and refunds related to income taxes, are included
as a component of the Parent Company investment. Transactions in 1998 between
the Scurlock Permian Businesses and Marathon and Ashland are considered to be
related party transactions.
The Company's sales in 1998 to Ashland were $580 thousand; sales to MAP were
$732,832 thousand; and sales to Marathon were $2,195 thousand. The Predecessor's
sales in 1997 and 1996 to Ashland were $793,920 thousand and $942,299 thousand,
respectively. The Company's purchases in 1998 from MAP totaled $106,317 thousand
and purchases from Marathon were $9,531 thousand. The Predecessor's purchases in
1997 and 1996 from Ashland totaled $129,816 thousand and $121,837 thousand,
respectively. Such transactions were in the ordinary course of business and
include the purchase, sale and transportation of crude oil.
MAP, Ashland and Marathon provided computer, treasury, accounting, internal
auditing and legal services to the Company in 1998 and Ashland provided such
services to the Predecessor in 1997 and 1996. Charges for these services were
allocated based on usage or other methods, such as headcount and square footage,
that management believed to be reasonable. Charges to the Company for these
services for the year ended December 31, 1998 totaled $7,722 thousand. Ashland
charges for these services in 1997 and 1996 were $7,787 thousand and $6,423
thousand, respectively. The Parent Company uses a centralized cash management
system (non-interest bearing) under which cash receipts of the Company and the
Predecessor were remitted to the Parent Company and cash disbursements of the
Company and the Predecessor were funded by the Parent Company.
As of December 31, 1998, receivables included $832 thousand due from Ashland.
The Company's accounts payable as of December 31, 1998, included $1,601 thousand
due to Marathon.

NOTE F - EMPLOYEE BENEFITS
For the purposes of these financial statements, the Company and the Predecessor
are considered to participate in multi-employer benefit plans.
The Company's employees were included in the various employee benefit plans of
MAP in 1998 and the Predecessor's employees were included in the various
employee benefit plans of Ashland for the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1996. These plans included retirement plans, employee and retiree medical,
dental and life insurance plans, 401(k) and profit-sharing plans and other such
benefits.
MAP has noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially all
employees of the Scurlock Permian Businesses. Benefits under these plans are
based primarily upon years of service and career earnings. The funding policy
for all plans provides that payments to the pension trusts shall be equal to the
minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement and Income Security Act,
plus such additional amounts as may be approved. No charges have been allocated
to the Scurlock Permian Businesses for the MAP defined benefit pension plans for
the year ended December 31, 1998, as the plans are in an overfunded position.
MAP also has defined benefit retiree health insurance plans covering most
employees of the Scurlock Permian Businesses upon their retirement. Health
benefits are primarily provided through comprehensive hospital, surgical and
major medical benefit provisions subject to various cost-sharing features.
The Company's and the Predecessor's share of employee benefit expenses were
$3,121 thousand, $4,815 thousand and $4,117 thousand for the years ended
December 31, 1998, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

</TABLE>
Inventories of crude oil and pipeline line fill are valued by the LIFO method.
At December 31, 1998 and 1997, the LIFO method accounted for approximately 92%
of the total inventory value. During 1997, inventory quantities were reduced.
This reduction resulted in a liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities carried at
lower costs prevailing in prior years as compared with the cost of 1997
purchases, the effect of which decreased cost of goods sold by approximately
$1,382 thousand and increased net income by approximately $898 thousand.
The inventory market valuation reserve reflects the extent that the recorded
LIFO cost basis of crude oil inventories exceeds net realizable value. The
reserve is decreased to reflect increases in market prices and inventory
turnover and increased to reflect decreases in market prices. Changes in the
inventory market valuation reserve result in noncash charges or credits to costs
and expenses.

NOTE M - DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company and the Predecessor use exchange-traded future contracts to manage
exposure to price fluctuations related to the anticipated purchase and sale of
crude oil. The exchange-traded futures contracts do not have a corresponding
fair value since changes in market prices are settled on a daily basis. The
Company remains at risk for possible changes in the market value of the
derivative instrument; however, such risk should be mitigated by price changes
in the underlying hedged item.

commodity futures:

(a) Contract or notional amounts do not quantify risk exposure, but are used in
the calculation of cash settlements under the contracts. The contract or
notional amounts do not reflect the extent to which positions may offset
one another.
NOTE N - CONTINGENCIES AND COMMITMENTS
The Company and the Predecessor are the subject of, or party to, a number of
pending or threatened legal actions, contingencies and commitments involving a
variety of matters, including laws and regulations relating to the environment.
Certain of these matters are discussed below. The ultimate resolution of these
contingencies could, individually or in the aggregate, be material to the
Company's financial statements. However, the Company's management believes that
the Company will remain a viable and competitive enterprise even though it is
possible that these contingencies could be resolved unfavorably.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS - The Company and the Predecessor are subject to federal,
state, and local laws and regulations relating to the environment. These laws
generally provide for control of pollutants released into the environment and
require responsible parties to undertake remediation of hazardous waste disposal
sites. Penalties may be imposed for noncompliance. At December 31, 1997, the
Predecessor had $4,228 thousand accrued for remediation costs on existing
properties. In connection with the formation of MAP (see Note A), Marathon and
Ashland retained the liability, subject to certain thresholds, for costs
associated with remediating conditions existing prior to January 1, 1998. No
amounts were accrued by the Company at December 31, 1998 for environmental
matters. It is not presently possible to estimate the ultimate amount of all
remediation costs that might be incurred or the penalties that may be imposed.
COMMITMENTS - The Company has a contract for use of an oil terminal in Louisiana
with an initial three-year term that began on July 1, 1998. At the end of three
years, the agreement will automatically extend from year to year unless either
party cancels it. The Company is committed to a "minimum receipt throughput
volume" of 4,500 barrels per day at $.25 per barrel.

PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF
PLAINS RESOURCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Introduction
The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are
presented to reflect the acquisition of Scurlock Permian LLC and certain other
pipeline assets (the "Scurlock Acquisition") from Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC
("MAP") by Plains Scurlock Permian, L.P. ("Plains Scurlock"), a newly formed
operating limited partnership of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. ("PAA"). The
Scurlock Acquisition was consummated on May 12, 1999, and has been accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. Plains Resources Inc. (the
"Registrant") has a 57% ownership interest (59% subsequent to the Scurlock
Acquisition and related transactions) in PAA, through which the Registrant's
midstream operations are conducted. Plains All American Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Registrant, is the general partner ("General Partner") of PAA.
PAA's results are consolidated into the Registrant's results with the public's
43% ownership interest (41% subsequent to the Scurlock Acquisition and related
transactions) reflected as a minority interest deduction from income. The pro
forma financial statements are based upon the historical financial statements of
the Registrant and the Scurlock Permian Businesses ("Scurlock"). The Scurlock
financial statements pertain to the businesses sold to Plains Scurlock by MAP
and represent a carve-out financial statement presentation of a MAP operating
unit. Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical Scurlock
financial statements to conform to PAA's presentation (see pro forma note K).
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not
necessarily indicative of the results of the future operations of the
Registrant. The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the notes thereto and the historical financial statements of
Scurlock, included in Item 7 (a) of this Form 8-K/A. In addition, reference
should be made to the historical financial statements of the Registrant included
in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, and included in Form 10-Q for
the three months ended March 31, 1999, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have
been prepared as if the Scurlock Acquisition and related transactions had taken
place on March 31, 1999, in the case of the pro forma consolidated balance sheet
or as of January 1, 1998, in the case of the pro forma consolidated statement of
income for the three months ended March 31, 1999, and pro forma consolidated
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998.

PLAINS RESOURCES INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unauduited)
Introduction
The accompanying unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are
presented to reflect the acquisition of Scurlock Permian LLC and certain other
pipeline assets (the "Scurlock Acquisition") from Marathon Ashland Petroleum LLC
("MAP") by Plains Scurlock Permian, L.P. ("Plains Scurlock"), a newly formed
operating limited partnership of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. ("PAA"). The
Scurlock Acquisition was consummated on May 12, 1999, and has been accounted for
using the purchase method of accounting. Plains Resources Inc. (the
"Registrant") has a 57% ownership interest (59% subsequent to the Scurlock
Acquisition and related transactions) in PAA, through which the Registrant's
midstream operations are conducted. Plains All American Inc., a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Registrant, is the general partner ("General Partner") of PAA.
PAA's results are consolidated into the Registrant's results with the public's
43% ownership interest (41% subsequent to the Scurlock Acquisition and related
transactions) reflected as a minority interest deduction from income. The pro
forma financial statements are based upon the historical financial statements of
the Registrant and the Scurlock Permian Businesses ("Scurlock"). The Scurlock
financial statements pertain to the businesses sold to Plains Scurlock by MAP
and represent a carve-out financial statement presentation of a MAP operating
unit. Certain reclassifications have been made to the historical Scurlock
financial statements to conform to PAA's presentation (see pro forma
footnote K).
The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements are not
necessarily indicative of the results of the future operations of the
Registrant. The unaudited pro forma financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the notes thereto and the historical financial statements of
Scurlock, included in Item 7 (a) of this Form 8-K/A. In addition, reference
should be made to the historical financial statements of the Registrant included
in Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1998, and included in Form 10-Q for
the three months ended March 31, 1999, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
The following unaudited pro forma consolidated financial statements have
been prepared as if the Scurlock Acquisition and related transactions had taken
place on March 31, 1999, in the case of the pro forma consolidated balance sheet
or as of January 1, 1998 in the case of the pro forma consolidated statement of
income for the three months ended March 31, 1999, and pro forma consolidated
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998.
In addition to the pro forma adjustments below, PAA estimates that certain
costs which are included in the historical financial statements of Scurlock will
not be incurred by PAA in its operations of Scurlock. Such amounts include (i)
approximately $1.4 million of severance costs included in the Scurlock
historical statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1998, related
to staff reductions implemented by Scurlock in the fourth quarter of 1998 for
employees that PAA does not plan to replace, (ii) approximately $2.5 million of
compensation and benefits expense related to the staff reductions discussed in
item (i) which are included in the Scurlock historical statement of operations
for the year ended December 31 1998, and (iii) approximately $1.1 million and
$3.5 million which are reflected in the Scurlock historical statement of
operations for the three months ended March 31, 1999, and the year ended
December 31, 1998, respectively, for amounts of corporate overhead allocated by
MAP to Scurlock.
Pro Forma Adjustments
A. Reflects the financing for the Scurlock Acquisition which was provided
through (i) a borrowing of approximately $92 million under Plains Scurlock's
limited recourse bank facility with BankBoston, N.A. (the "Plains Scurlock
Credit Facility"), (ii) the sale to the General Partner of 1.3 million Class B
Common Units of PAA ("Class B Units") at $19.125 per unit, the price equal to
the market value of PAA's common units, for a total cash consideration of $25
million and (iii) a $25 million draw under PAA's existing revolving credit
agreement. In addition, the General Partner's $0.3 million capital contribution
resulting from the sale of the Class B Units is reflected. The funds for the
purchase of the Class B Units by the General Partner were provided through a
capital contribution by the Registrant which was financed by the Registrant's
revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility").
The Class B Units are initially pari passu with Common Units with respect
to distributions, and after six months are convertible into Common Units upon
approval of a majority of Common Unitholders. After such six month period, the
Class B Unitholder may request that PAA call a meeting of Common Unitholders to
consider approval of the conversion of Class B Units into Common Units. If the
approval of such conversion by the Common Unitholders is not obtained within 120
days of such request (the "Initial Approval Period"), the Class B Unitholders
will be entitled to receive distributions, on a per unit basis, equal
F-24
<PAGE>
to 110% of the amount of distributions paid on a Common Unit, with such
distribution right increasing to 115% if such approval is not secured within 90
days after the end of the Initial Approval Period. Except for the vote to
approve the conversion, Class B Units have the same voting rights as the Common
Units.
B. Reflects the consummation of the Scurlock Acquisition and the related
purchase accounting entries. The purchase price was allocated in accordance with
APB 16 as follows (in thousands):
Crude oil pipeline, gathering and terminal assets $124,725
Other property and equipment 1,503
Pipeline linefill 16,057
Debt issue costs 3,100
Net working capital items (3,020)
--------
Cash paid $142,365
========
The purchase price allocation was based on preliminary estimates of fair
value and is subject to adjustment as additional information becomes available
and is evaluated. Approximately $16.0 million representing minimum amounts of
crude oil which are required to operate Scurlock's pipeline and gathering assets
have been classified as pipeline linefill, a long-term asset. Pipeline linefill
was classified as a current asset and included in inventory by Scurlock.
Approximately $1.7 million of intangible assets and $2.5 million of materials
and supplies inventory reflected in Scurlock's historical balance sheet has been
eliminated in the purchase accounting entries. In addition, approximately $2.5
million representing Scurlock's 50% investment in a crude oil tank has been
reclassified as property and equipment from other assets and included in the
purchase price allocation based on PAA's valuation of such asset.
The purchase accounting entries include a $1.0 million accrual for
estimated environmental remediation. Under the agreement for the sale of
Scurlock by MAP to Plains Scurlock, MAP has agreed to indemnify and hold
harmless Scurlock and Plains Scurlock for claims, liabilities and losses
(collectively "Losses") resulting from any act or omission attributable to
Scurlock's business or properties occurring prior to the date of the closing of
such sale to the extent the aggregate amount of such Losses exceed $1 million;
provided however, that claims for such Losses must be asserted by Scurlock
against MAP on or before May 15, 2003.
C. Reflects the reclassification of net Scurlock receivables from MAP for
crude oil purchases. Such amounts, which were paid by MAP in cash subsequent to
March 31, 1999, were reflected in the Scurlock historical financial statements
as a component of Parent Company Investment.
D. Reflects the elimination of certain assets that were not purchased by
PAA, including associated revenues and expenses.
E. Reflects pro forma interest expense on (i) borrowings of approximately
$92 million under the Plains Scurlock Credit Facility, (ii) borrowings of $25
million under PAA's existing credit facility and (iii) borrowings of $25 million
under the Revolving Credit Facility. PAA has entered into a series of 21 month
interest rate collars, which provide for a floor of 5.04% and a ceiling of 6.5%
on a notional principal amount of $90 million of the LIBOR portion outstanding
under the Plains Scurlock Credit Facility. Pro forma interest expense was
calculated based on a composite annual interest rate of 7.6%. The effect of a
1/8% change in the pro forma interest rate would be approximately $46,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 and approximately $186,000 for the year
ended December 31, 1998.
F. Reflects pro forma depreciation and amortization expense based on the
purchase price of the Scurlock assets by Plains Scurlock. The pro forma
composite useful depreciable life of the fixed assets acquired is 23 years. Debt
issue costs incurred in connection with the Scurlock Acquisition are amortized
using the straight-line method over five years, the term of the Plains Scurlock
Credit Facility.
G. Reflects the elimination of historical Scurlock depreciation and
amortization expense.
H. Reflects the reduction in compensation and benefits expense due to
staff terminations implemented by PAA at May 12, 1999. PAA has no plans to
replace these personnel. Such amounts reflect the historical compensation
expenses incurred by Scurlock. The termination of personnel is not expected to
adversely impact the Registrant's revenues or costs.
I. Reflects the cost reduction for services provided to Scurlock by MAP
related to the operation of certain pipeline assets. The Scurlock Acquisition
agreement provides for a reduced cost for such services subsequent to the
acquisition date.
F-25
<PAGE>
J. Reflects the elimination of historical sales and purchases and
associated receivables and payables between Scurlock, PAA and the Registrant.
K. Reflects the reclassification of certain items to conform to the
classification of such items in the Registrant's historical financial
statements.
L. Reflects the elimination of expenses associated with MAP's profit
sharing and post retirement pension, health and benefit plans in which
Scurlock's employees are no longer entitled to participate so that cost of sales
and operations and general and administrative expense reflect the ongoing cost
of employee benefits to the Registrant.
M. Reflects the minority interest in the pro forma net income (loss) of
PAA resulting from the Scurlock Acquisition.
N. Reflects income tax expense on pro forma pre-tax income based on an
effective tax rate of 39% which is the estimated tax rate of the Registrant.
O. Reflects the restatement of Scurlock's inventory at average cost, which
is the inventory costing method utilized by PAA. Scurlock utilized the LIFO
method to determine inventory cost.
P. Reflects the reversal of the adjustment made to Scurlock's historical
financial statements to value inventory at lower of cost or market as Scurlock's
inventory stated at average cost is lower than market, and no such adjustment is
necessary.
