1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
Organization
We are a midstream partnership that was formed in 1996 as a master limited partnership, or
MLP. We have a diverse portfolio of customers and assets, including pipeline transportation of
primarily crude oil and, to a lesser extent, natural gas and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the
Gulf Coast region of the United States. In conjunction with our crude oil pipeline transportation
operations, we operate a crude oil gathering and marketing business, which helps ensure a base
supply of crude oil for our pipelines. We participate in industrial gas activities, including a
CO2 supply business, which is associated with the CO2 tertiary oil recovery
process being used in Mississippi by an affiliate of our general partner. During 2005, we also
acquired a 50% interest in a joint venture that processes natural gas to produce syngas and
high-pressure steam. During 2006, we acquired a 50% interest in a joint venture that processes
CO2 for use in the food, beverage, chemical and oil industries. Our operations are
conducted through our operating subsidiary, Genesis Crude Oil, L.P., and its subsidiaries.
Our 2% general partner interest is held by Genesis Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an
indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Denbury Resources Inc. Denbury and its subsidiaries are
hereafter referred to as Denbury. Our general partner also owns a 7.25% interest in us through
limited partner interests.
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 Consolidation and Presentation
The accompanying financial statements and related notes present our consolidated financial
position as of September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 and our results of operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, our cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006 and 2005, and our changes in partners capital for the nine months ended
September 30, 2006. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The
accompanying consolidated financial statements include Genesis Energy, L.P., its operating
subsidiary and its subsidiary partnerships. Our general partner owns a 0.01% general partner
interest in Genesis Crude Oil, L.P., which is reflected in our financial statements as a minority
interest.
In 2005, we acquired a 50% interest in T&P Syngas Supply Company. In 2006, we acquired a 50%
interest in Sandhill Group, LLC. We account for these investments using the equity method, as we
exercise significant influence over their operating and financial policies. See Note 3.
No provision for federal or state income taxes related to our operations is included in the
accompanying consolidated financial statements; as such income will be taxable directly to the
partners holding partnership interests. The State of Texas enacted a margin tax in May 2006 that
we will be required to pay beginning in 2008. The method of calculation for this margin tax is
similar to an income tax, requiring us to recognize currently the impact of this new tax on the
future tax effects of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and
the tax basis of existing assets and liabilities. See Note 13.
The 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) which 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. These financial statements should be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements
Adoption of SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006
On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). In December 2004, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 123 (revised December 2004), Share-Based Payments. The adoption of this
statement requires that the compensation cost associated with our stock appreciation rights plan,
which upon exercise will result in the payment of cash to the employee, be re-measured each
reporting period based on the fair value of the rights. Before the adoption of SFAS 123(R), we
accounted for the stock appreciation rights in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 28,
Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or Award Plans which
required that the liability under the plan be measured at each balance sheet date based on the
market price of our common units on that date. Under SFAS 123(R), the liability is calculated
using a fair value method that takes into consideration the expected future value of the rights at
their expected exercise dates. See Note 12.
EITF 04-13
We enter into buy/sell transactions that are contractual arrangements that establish the terms
of the purchase of a particular grade of crude oil at a specified location and the sale of a
particular grade of crude oil at a different location at the same or at another specified date.
These arrangements are detailed jointly, in a single contract, or separately, in individual
contracts that are entered into concurrently or in contemplation of one another with a single
counterparty. Both transactions require physical delivery of the crude oil and the risk and reward
of ownership are evidenced by title transfer, assumption of environmental risk, transportation
scheduling, credit risk and counterparty nonperformance risk. In accordance with the provision of
Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 04-13, Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with
the Same Counterparty, we have reflected the amounts of revenues and purchases for these
transactions as a net amount in our consolidated statements of operations beginning with April
2006. Transactions for periods prior to April 2006 are not reflected as a net amount, however the
amounts are disclosed parenthetically on the consolidated statements of operations. This change had
no effect on operating income, net income or cash flows, however it did reduce both crude oil
gathering and marketing revenues and crude oil costs by $65.9 million and $132.2 million for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
SFAS 154
In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and
Error Corrections (SFAS 154). This statement established new standards on the accounting for and
reporting of changes in accounting principles and error corrections. SFAS 154 requires
retrospective application to the financial statements of prior periods for all such changes, unless
it is impracticable to do so. SFAS 154 was effective for us in the first quarter of 2006.
SFAS 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 157, Fair Value
Measurements (SFAS 157). This statement established a new definition of fair value, a fair value
hierarchy for classification of the source of information used in fair value measurements, and new
disclosures for assets and liabilities measured at fair value based on their level in the
hierarchy. SFAS 157 will be effective for us in the first quarter of 2008, with early adoption in
2007 allowed. SFAS 157 may impact our balance sheet and statement of operations in many areas
including the fair value measurement and allocation of the purchase price in business combinations
and fair value measurements for derivative instruments, impairment of assets, and asset retirement
obligations. The calculation of the impact of this statement cannot be measured at this time.
SFAS 158
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Standards No. 158, Employers
Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans (SFAS 158). This statement
requires public entities with defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans to fully
recognize, as an asset or liability, the overfunded or underfunded status of its benefit plans in
its 2006 balance sheet. We do not expect SFAS 158 to have an impact on us as we have no defined
benefit pension or other postretirement plans.

3. Joint Ventures and Other Investments
T&P Syngas Supply Company
On April 1, 2005, we acquired a 50% interest in T&P Syngas Supply Company, a Delaware general
partnership, for $13.4 million in cash from a subsidiary of ChevronTexaco Corporation. Praxair
Hydrogen Supply Inc. owns the remaining 50% partnership interest in T&P Syngas. We paid for our
interest in T&P Syngas with proceeds from our credit facilities.
T&P Syngas is a partnership that owns a syngas manufacturing facility located in Texas City,
Texas. That facility processes natural gas to produce syngas (a combination of carbon monoxide and
hydrogen) and high pressure steam. Praxair provides the raw materials to be processed and receives
the syngas and steam produced by the facility under a long-term processing agreement. T&P Syngas
receives a processing fee for its services. Praxair operates the facility.
We are accounting for our 50% ownership in T&P Syngas under the equity method of accounting.
We reflect in our consolidated statements of operations our equity in T&P Syngas net income, net
of the amortization of the excess of our investment over our share of partners capital of T&P
Syngas. We paid $4.0 million more for our interest in T&P Syngas than our share of partners
capital on the balance sheet of T&P Syngas at the date of the acquisition. This excess amount of
the purchase price over the equity in T&P Syngas is being amortized using the straight-line method
over the remaining useful life of the assets of T&P Syngas of eleven years. Our consolidated
statements of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 included $374,000
and $1,185,000, respectively, as our share of the operating earnings of T&P Syngas, reduced by
amortization of the excess purchase price of $88,000 and $264,000, respectively. We received
distributions from T&P Syngas of $0.6 million and $1.4 million during the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2006, respectively.
The table below reflects summarized financial information for T&P Syngas at September 30, 2006.

Sandhill Group, LLC
On April 1, 2006, we acquired a 50% interest in Sandhill Group, LLC, for $5 million in cash,
from Magna Carta Group, LLC. Magna Carta holds the other 50% interest in Sandhill. Sandhill is a
limited liability company that owns a CO2 processing facility located in Brandon,
Mississippi. Sandhill is engaged in the production and distribution of liquid carbon dioxide for
use in the food, beverage, chemical and oil industries. The facility acquires CO2 from
us under a long-term supply contract that we acquired in 2005 from Denbury.
We paid for our interest in Sandhill with cash on hand. The terms of the acquisition include
earnout provisions such that we could pay up to an additional $2 million to Magna Carta for our
interest in Sandhill, based on the distributable cash generated by Sandhill during the period 2006
through no later than 2012. Should the
-9-
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
cumulative distributable cash of Sandhill in the period beginning with 2006 average at least
$1.5 million per year, and distributions to the members average at least $1.2 million per year, we
will owe Magna Carta $1.0 million at the end of the year when the target is exceeded. If the
distributable cash averages $2.0 million per year and distributions average $1.6 million per year
in the period beginning with 2006, we will owe Magna Carta an additional $1.0 million.
During 2003, Sandhill was authorized to issue a series of Issuer Floating Rate Option Notes
in an amount not to exceed $15,000,000. In 2003, Sandhill issued notes in the amount of $5,900,000
which are backed by a letter of credit from a bank and have a maturity date of December 1, 2013.
At September 30, 2006, the outstanding balance of these notes was $4.7 million. We provide a
guarantee of 50% of the letter of credit to Sandhills bank; therefore, our guaranty represents
$2.35 million. Sandhill makes principal payments totaling $0.6 million annually. We have recorded
the estimated fair value of this guarantee of $0.1 million as a long-term liability in our
consolidated balance sheet, with a corresponding increase to our investment in Sandhill.
We are accounting for our 50% ownership in Sandhill under the equity method of accounting as
both partners have substantive participating rights. We reflect in our consolidated statements of
operations our equity in Sandhills net income, net of the amortization of the excess of our
investment over our share of partners capital of Sandhill that is not considered goodwill. We
paid $3.8 million more for our interest in Sandhill than our share of partners capital on the
balance sheet of Sandhill at the date of the acquisition. This excess amount of the purchase price
over the equity in Sandhill has been allocated to the property and equipment of Sandhill and
certain intangible assets based on the fair value of those assets, with the remainder of the excess
purchase price of $0.7 million allocated to goodwill. The amount allocated to property and
equipment and intangible assets is being amortized using the straight-line method over the
remaining useful lives of those assets. Our consolidated statements of operations for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2006 included $46,000 and $136,000, respectively, as our share
of the operating earnings of Sandhill, reduced by amortization of the excess purchase price of
$65,000 and $138,000, respectively. We received distributions from Sandhill of $0.1 million during
the six month period that we have owned our interest.
The table below reflects summarized financial information for Sandhill at September 30, 2006,
for the period since we acquired our interest in Sandhill.

Other Projects
In 2006, we invested $0.7 million in a petroleum coke to ammonia project that is in the
development stage. We have also committed to invest an additional $0.3 million. All of our
investment may later be redeemed, with a return, or converted to equity after construction
financing for the project has been obtained.
-10-
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The funds we have invested will be used for project development activities, which include the
negotiation of off-take agreements for the products and by-products of the plant to be constructed,
securing permits and securing financing for the construction phase of the plant.
4. Debt
At September 30, 2006, we had a $100 million credit facility comprised of a $50 million
revolving line of credit for acquisitions and a $50 million working capital revolving facility. At
September 30, 2006, we had $6.0 million in loans and $9.2 million in letters of credit (primarily
for crude oil purchases in September and October 2006) outstanding under the working capital
portion and no balance outstanding under the acquisition portion of our credit facility. At
September 30, 2006, the weighted average interest rate on the debt was 8.5%.
The aggregate amount that we may have outstanding at any time under the working capital
portion of our credit facility is subject to a borrowing base calculation. The borrowing base is
limited to $50 million and is calculated monthly. At September 30, 2006, the borrowing base was
$49.5 million. The remaining amount available for borrowings at September 30, 2006 was $9.0
million under the working capital portion and $50.0 million under the acquisition portion of the
credit facility.
Certain restrictive covenants in the credit facility limit our ability to make distributions
to our unitholders and the general partner. The credit facility requires we maintain a cash flow
coverage ratio of 1.1 to 1.0. In general, this calculation compares operating cash inflows (as
adjusted in accordance with the credit facility), less maintenance capital expenditures, to the sum
of interest expense and distributions. At September 30, 2006, the calculation resulted in a ratio
of 1.7 to 1.0. The credit facility also requires that the level of operating cash inflows during
the prior twelve months, as adjusted in accordance with the credit facility, be at least $8.5
million. At September 30, 2006, the result of this calculation was $21.4 million. Our credit
facility also requires that we meet certain other financial ratios, such as a current ratio,
leverage ratio and funded indebtedness to capitalization ratio. If we meet these covenants, we are
otherwise not limited in making distributions.
We have recently received commitments from a syndicate of banks and are in the process of
completing documentation to replace our existing facility with a new facility. We expect to
complete the documentation of the new facility by the end of November 2006. This new facility,
with a maximum facility amount of $500 million (subject to customary borrowing conditions), would
have an initial commitment amount under the facility of $125 million. The commitment amount could
be increased up to the maximum facility amount to allow us to make acquisitions.
5. Partners Capital and Distributions
Partners Capital
Partners capital at September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 consists of 13,784,441 common
units, including 1,019,441 units owned by our general partner, representing a 98% aggregate
ownership interest in the Partnership and its subsidiaries (after giving affect to the general
partner interest), and a 2% general partner interest.
Our general partner owns all of our general partner interest, all of the 0.01% general partner
interest in our operating partnership (which is reflected as a minority interest in the
consolidated balance sheet) and operates our business.
Our partnership agreement authorizes our general partner to cause us to issue additional
limited partner interests and other equity securities, the proceeds from which could be used to
provide additional funds for acquisitions or other needs.
Distributions
Generally, we will distribute 100% of our available cash (as defined by our partnership
agreement) within 45 days after the end of each quarter to unitholders of record and to our general
partner. Available cash consists generally of all of our cash receipts less cash disbursements adjusted for net changes to
reserves. We paid distributions as follows in 2005 and 2006:

The total amounts in the table above increased with the distribution for the fourth quarter of
2005 due to the issuance of 4,470,630 new common units in December 2005.
Our general partner is entitled to receive incentive distributions if the amount we distribute
with respect to any quarter exceeds levels specified in our partnership agreement. Under the
quarterly incentive distribution provisions, the general partner is entitled to receive 13.3% of
any distributions in excess of $0.25 per unit, 23.5% of any distributions in excess of $0.28 per
unit and 49% of any distributions in excess of $0.33 per unit without duplication. We have not
paid any incentive distributions through September 30, 2006.

6. Business Segment Information
Our operations consist of three operating segments: (1) Pipeline Transportation interstate
and intrastate crude oil, natural gas and CO2 pipeline transportation; (2) Industrial
Gases the sale of CO2 acquired under volumetric production payments to industrial
customers and our investments in joint ventures with a syngas processing facility and a
CO2 processing facility, and (3) Crude Oil Gathering and Marketing the purchase and
sale of crude oil at various points along the distribution chain. In prior periods, our Industrial
Gases segment was called CO2 Marketing. The tables below reflect all periods presented
as though the current segment designations had existed, and include only continuing operations
data.
We evaluate segment performance based on segment margin. We calculate segment margin as
revenues less costs of sales and operations expenses, and we include income from investments in
joint ventures. We do not deduct depreciation and amortization. All of our revenues are derived
from, and all of our assets are located in the United States. The pipeline transportation segment
information includes the revenue, segment margin and assets of the direct financing leases.

Transportation Services
We provide truck transportation services to Denbury to move their crude oil from the wellhead
to our Mississippi pipeline. Denbury pays us a fee for this trucking service that varies with the
distance the crude oil is trucked. These fees are reflected in the statement of operations as
gathering and marketing revenues.
-15-
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Denbury is a shipper on our Mississippi pipeline. We also earned fees from Denbury under the
direct financing lease arrangements for the Olive and Brookhaven crude oil pipelines and the
Brookhaven CO2 pipeline and recorded pipeline transportation income from these
arrangements.
We also provide pipeline monitoring services to Denbury. This revenue is included in pipeline
revenues in the statement of operations.
Directors Fees
We pay Denbury for the services of four Denbury officers who serve as directors of our general
partner at the same rate at which our independent directors are paid.
CO2 Operations and Transportation
We acquired contracts, along with volumetric production payments, from Denbury in 2005 and
prior years. Denbury charges us a transportation fee of $0.16 per Mcf (adjusted for inflation) to
deliver the CO2 for us to our customers.
Operations, General and Administrative Services
We do not directly employ any persons to manage or operate our business. Those functions are
provided by our general partner. We reimburse the general partner for all direct and indirect
costs of these services.
Amounts due to and from Related Parties
At September 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, we owed Denbury $0.9 million and $1.9 million,
respectively, for purchases of crude oil and CO2 transportation charges. Denbury owed
us $.05 million and $0.5 million for transportation services at September 30, 2006 and December 31,
2005, respectively. We owed our general partner $1.0 million and $1.1 million at September 30,
2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, for administrative services.
At September 30, 2006, Sandhill owed us $0.5 million for purchases of CO2.
Financing
Our general partner, a wholly owned subsidiary of Denbury, guarantees our obligations under
our credit facility. Our general partners principal assets are its general and limited
partnership interests in us. Those obligations are not guaranteed by Denbury or any of its other
subsidiaries.
We guarantee 50% of the obligation of Sandhill to a bank. At September 30, 2006, the total
amount of Sandhills obligation to the bank was $4.7 million; therefore, our guarantee was for
$2.35 million. See Note 3.
8. Major Customers and Credit Risk
Due to the nature of our crude oil operations, a disproportionate percentage of our trade
receivables constitute obligations of oil companies. This industry concentration has the potential
to impact our overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, in that our
customers could be affected by similar changes in economic, industry or other conditions. However,
we believe that the credit risk posed by this industry concentration is offset by the
creditworthiness of our customer base. Our portfolio of accounts receivable is comprised in large
part of integrated and large independent energy companies with stable payment experience. The
credit risk related to contracts which are traded on the NYMEX is limited due to the daily cash
settlement procedures and other NYMEX requirements.
We have established various procedures to manage our credit exposure, including initial credit
approvals, credit limits, collateral requirements and rights of offset. Letters of credit,
prepayments and guarantees are also utilized to limit credit risk to ensure that our established
credit criteria are met.
Occidental Energy Marketing, Inc., Shell Oil Company and Calumet Specialty Products Partners,
L.P. accounted for 21%, 18% and 11% of total revenues in the first nine months of 2006,
respectively. Occidental Energy Marketing, Inc. and Shell Oil Company accounted for 27% and 12% of
total revenues for the first nine months of 2005, respectively. The majority of the revenues from
these three customers in both periods relate to our gathering and marketing operations.

9. Supplemental Cash Flow Information
We received interest payments of $164,000 and $38,000 for the nine months ended September 30,
2006 and 2005, respectively. Payments of interest and commitment fees were $768,000 and $931,000
for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
10. Derivatives
Our market risk in the purchase and sale of crude oil contracts is the potential loss that can
be caused by a change in the market value of the asset or commitment. In order to hedge our
exposure to such market fluctuations, we may enter into various financial contracts, including
futures, options and swaps. Historically, any contracts we have used to hedge market risk were
less than one year in duration, although we have the flexibility to enter into arrangements with a
longer term.
We may utilize crude oil futures contracts and other financial derivatives to reduce our
exposure to unfavorable changes in crude oil prices. Every derivative instrument (including
certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) must be recorded in the balance sheet
as either an asset or liability measured at its fair value. Changes in the derivatives fair value
must be recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.
Special accounting for qualifying hedges allows a derivatives gains and losses to offset related
results on the hedged item in the income statement. Companies must formally document, designate
and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting.
We mark to fair value our derivative instruments at each period end, with changes in the fair
value of derivatives that are not designated as hedges being recorded as unrealized gains or
losses. Such unrealized gains or losses will change, based on prevailing market prices, at each
balance sheet date prior to the period in which the transaction actually occurs. The effective
portion of unrealized gains or losses on derivative transactions qualifying as cash flow hedges are
reflected in other comprehensive income. Derivative transactions qualifying as fair value hedges
are evaluated for hedge effectiveness and the resulting hedge ineffectiveness is recorded as a gain
or loss in the consolidated statements of operations.
We review our contracts to determine if the contracts meet the definition of derivatives
pursuant to SFAS 133. At September 30, 2006, we had futures contracts that were considered
free-standing derivatives that are accounted for at fair value. The fair value of these contracts
was determined based on the closing price for such contracts on September 30, 2006. We marked
these contracts to fair value at September 30, 2006. During the nine months ended September 30,
2006, we recorded gains of $97,000 related to derivative transactions, which is included in the
consolidated statements of operations under the caption Crude Oil Costs.
At September 30, 2006, we had futures contracts that qualified as derivatives and were
formally documented and designated as fair value hedges of inventory. During the nine months ended
September 30, 2006, we recognized losses, due to hedge ineffectiveness, on the fair value hedge of
inventory of approximately $53,000. These losses are included in the caption Crude Oil Costs in
the consolidated statements of operations. The time value component of the derivative gain or loss
excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness was not material.
The consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2006 includes an increase in other current
assets of $260,000 as a result of these derivative transactions. The consolidated balance sheet at
December 31, 2005 included an increase in other current assets of $6,000 as a result of derivative
transactions.
At September 30, 2005, we had futures contracts on the NYMEX that were considered
free-standing derivatives that are accounted for at fair value. The fair value of these contracts
was determined based on the closing price for such contracts on the NYMEX on September 30, 2005.
We marked these contracts to fair value at September 30, 2005. During the three months ended
September 30, 2005, we recorded a loss of $8,000 related to derivative
transactions, which are included in the consolidated statements of operations under the
caption Crude Oil Costs. For the nine month period in 2005, these derivative transactions had no
effect on earnings.
At September 30, 2005, we had futures contracts on the NYMEX that qualified as derivatives and
were formally documented and designated as fair value hedges of inventory. During the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2005, we recognized gains, due to hedge ineffectiveness, on the
fair value hedge of inventory totaling

$155,000 and $147,000, respectively. These gains are
included in the caption Crude Oil Costs in the consolidated statements of operations. The time
value component of the derivative gain or loss excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness
was not material.
We determined that the remainder of our derivative contracts qualified for the normal purchase
and sale exemption and were designated and documented as such at September 30, 2006 and December
31, 2005.
11. Contingencies
Guarantees
We have guaranteed the payments by our operating partnership to the banks under the terms of
our credit facility related to borrowings and letters of credit. To the extent liabilities exist
under the letters of credit, such liabilities are included in the consolidated balance sheet.
Borrowings at September 30, 2006 were $6.0 million and are reflected in the consolidated balance
sheet.
We guaranty 50% of the obligations of Sandhill under a credit facility with a bank. At
September 30, 2006, Sandhill owed $4.7 million; therefore our guarantee was $2.35 million.
Sandhill makes principal payments for this obligation totaling $0.6 million per year.
In general, we expect to incur expenditures in the future to comply with increasing levels of
regulatory safety standards. While the total amount of increased expenditures cannot be accurately
estimated at this time, we anticipate that we will expend a total of approximately $0.7 million in
2006 and 2007 for testing, repairs and improvements under regulations requiring assessment of the
integrity of crude oil pipelines. After 2007 we expect that our annual expenditures for integrity
testing, repairs and improvements to average from $1.0 million to $1.5 million.
Pennzoil Litigation
We were named a defendant in a complaint filed on January 11, 2001, in the 125th
District Court of Harris County, Texas, Cause No. 2001-01176. Pennzoil-Quaker State Company (PQS)
was seeking from us property damages, loss of use and business interruption suffered as a result of
a fire and explosion that occurred at the Pennzoil Quaker State refinery in Shreveport, Louisiana,
on January 18, 2000. PQS claimed the fire and explosion were caused, in part, by crude oil we sold
to PQS that was contaminated with organic chlorides. In December 2003, our insurance carriers
settled this litigation for $12.8 million.
PQS is also a defendant in five consolidated class action/mass tort actions brought by
neighbors living in the vicinity of the PQS Shreveport, Louisiana refinery in the First Judicial
District Court, Caddo Parish, Louisiana, Cause Nos. 455,647-A, 455,658-B, 455,655-A, 456,574-A, and
458,379-C. PQS has brought third party claims against us and others for indemnity with respect to
the fire and explosion of January 18, 2000. We believe that the demand against us is without merit
and intend to vigorously defend ourselves in this matter. We currently believe that this matter
will not have a material financial effect on our financial position, results of operations, or cash
flows.
Environmental
In 1992, Howell Crude Oil Company entered into a sublease with Koch Industries, Inc., covering
a one acre tract of land located in Santa Rosa County, Florida to operate a crude oil trucking
station, known as Jay Station. The sublease provided that Howell would indemnify Koch for
environmental contamination on the property under certain circumstances. Howell operated the Jay
Station from 1992 until December of 1996 when this operation was sold to us by Howell. We operated
the Jay Station as a crude oil trucking station until 2003. Koch has indicated that it has
incurred certain investigative and/or other costs, for which Koch alleges some or all should be
reimbursed by us, under the indemnification provisions of the sublease for environmental contamination on
the site and surrounding areas. Koch has also alleged that we are responsible for future
environmental obligations relating to the Jay Station.
Howell was acquired by Anadarko Petroleum Corporation in 2002. In 2005, we entered into a
joint defense and cost allocation agreement with Anadarko. Under the terms of the joint allocation
agreement, we agreed to reasonably cooperate with each other to address any liabilities or defense
costs with respect to the Jay Station.
-18-
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Additionally under the joint allocation agreement, Anadarko
will be responsible for sixty percent of the costs related to any liabilities or defense costs
incurred with respect to contamination at the Jay Station.
We were formed in 1996 by the sale and contribution of assets from Howell and Basis Petroleum,
Inc. Anadarkos liability with respect to the Jay Station is derived largely from contractual
obligations entered into upon our formation. We believe that Basis has contractual obligations
under the same formation agreements. We intend to seek recovery of Basis share of potential
liabilities and defense costs with respect to Jay Station.
We have developed, and the appropriate state regulatory agencies have approved, a plan of
remediation for certain affected soils and affected groundwater at Jay Station. We have accrued an
estimate of our share of liability for this matter in the amount of $0.5 million. The time period
over which our liability would be paid is uncertain and could be several years. This liability may
decrease if indemnification and/or cost reimbursement is obtained by us for Basis potential
liabilities with respect to this matter. At this time, our estimate of potential obligations does
not assume any specific amount contributed on behalf of the Basis obligations, although we believe
that Basis is responsible for a significant part of these potential obligations.
We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations. Policies and procedures are in
place to monitor compliance and to detect and address any releases of crude oil from our pipelines
or other facilities, however no assurance can be made that such environmental releases may not
substantially affect our business.
Other Matters
We have taken additional security measures since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001
in accordance with guidance provided by the Department of Transportation and other government
agencies. We cannot assure you that these security measures would protect our facilities from a
terrorist attack. Any future attacks on us or our customers or competitors could have a material
effect on our business, whether insured or not. We believe we are adequately insured for public
liability and property damage to others and that our coverage is comparable to other companies with
operations similar to ours. No assurance can be made that we will be able to maintain adequate
insurance in the future at premium rates that we would consider reasonable.
As discussed in Note 3, we have committed to invest an additional $0.3 million in a potential
investment project.
We are subject to lawsuits in the normal course of business and examination by tax and other
regulatory authorities. We do not expect such matters presently pending to have a material adverse
effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
12. Stock Appreciation Rights Plan
Under the terms of our stock appreciation rights plan, all regular, full-time active employees
(with the exception of the new senior management team) and the members of the Board are eligible to
participate in the plan. The plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board, who
shall determine, in its full discretion, the number of rights to award, the grant date of the units
and the formula for allocating rights to the participants and the strike price of the rights
awarded. Each right is equivalent to one common unit.
The rights have a term of 10 years from the date of grant. The initial award to a participant
will vest one-fourth each year beginning with the first anniversary of the grant date of the award.
Subsequent awards to participants will vest on the fourth anniversary of the grant date. If the
right has not been exercised at the end of the ten year term and the participant has not terminated
his employment with us, the right will be deemed exercised as of the date of the rights expiration
and a cash payment will be made as described below.
Upon vesting, the participant may exercise his rights and receive a cash payment calculated as
the difference between the averages of the closing market price of our common units for the ten
days preceding the date of exercise over the strike price of the right being exercised. The cash
payment to the participant will be net of any applicable withholding taxes required by law. If the
Committee determines, in its full discretion, that it would cause significant financial harm to the
Partnership to make cash payments to participants who have exercised rights under the plan, then
the Committee may authorize deferral of the cash payments until a later date.
-19-
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Termination for any reason other than death, disability or normal retirement (as these terms
are defined in the plan) will result in the forfeiture of any non-vested rights. Upon death,
disability or normal retirement, all rights will become fully vested. If a participant is
terminated for any reason within one year after the effective date of a change in control (as
defined in the plan) all rights will become fully vested.
Prior to January 1, 2006, we had accounted for this plan under the provisions of FASB
Interpretation No. 28, Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock Option or
Award Plans, which required that the liability under the plan be measured at each balance sheet
date based on the market price of our common units on that date. On January 1, 2006, we adopted
SFAS No. 123 (revised December 2004), Share-Based Payments. The adoption of this statement
required that the compensation cost associated with our stock appreciation rights plan, which upon
exercise will result in the payment of cash to the employee, be re-measured each reporting period
based on the fair value of the rights. Under SFAS 123(R), the liability is calculated using a fair
value method that takes into consideration the expected future value of the rights at their
expected exercise dates.
We have elected to calculate the fair value of the rights under the plan using the
Black-Scholes valuation model. This model requires that we include the expected volatility of the
market price for our common units, the current price of our common units, the exercise price of the
rights, the expected life of the rights, the current risk free interest rate, and our expected
annual distribution yield. This valuation is then applied to the vested rights outstanding and to
the non-vested rights based on the percentage of the service period that has elapsed. The
valuation is adjusted for expected forfeitures of rights (due to terminations before vesting, or
expirations after vesting). The liability amount accrued on the balance sheet is adjusted to this
amount at each balance sheet date with the adjustment reflected in the statement of operations.
The estimates that we made upon the adoption of this standard included the following:
|
|
|
In determining the expected life of the rights, we used the simplified method allowed
by the Securities and Exchange Commission. As our stock appreciation rights plan was
not put in place until December 31, 2003, we have very limited experience with employee
exercise patterns. The simplified method produces an initial expected life of 6.25
years for those rights we issued that vest 25% per year for four years, and an initial
expected life of 7 years for those rights we issued that fully vest at the end of a
four-year period. |
|
|
|
|
The expected volatility of our units was computed using the historical period we
believe is representative of future expectations. We determined what period to use in
the historical period by considering whether we were paying distributions to our
unitholders, and at what rate. The expected volatility used in the fair value
calculations was approximately 33% and 32% at January 1, 2006 and September 30, 2006,
respectively. |
|
|
|
|
The risk-free interest rate was determined from current yields for U.S. Treasury
zero-coupon bonds with a term similar to the remaining expected life of the rights. At
January 1, 2006, the risk-free interest rate ranged from 4.39% to 4.41%. At September
30, 2006, the risk-free interest rate ranged from 4.67% to 4.69%. |
|
|
|
|
In determining our expected future distribution yield, we considered our history of
distribution payments, our expectations for future payments, and the distribution yields
of entities similar to us. At January 1, 2006 and September 30, 2006, we used an
expected future distribution yield of 6%. |
|
|
|
|
The final estimate we were required to make is the expected forfeitures of non-vested
rights and expirations of vested rights. We have very limited experience with employee
forfeiture and expiration patterns, as our plan was not initiated until December 31,
2003. We reviewed the history available to us as well as employee turnover patterns in
determining the rates to use. We also used different estimates for different groups of
employees. |
At December 31, 2005, we had a recorded liability of $0.8 million, computed under the
provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 28. We calculated the effect of adoption of SFAS 123(R) at
January 1, 2006, and determined that our recorded liability at December 31, 2005 should be reduced
by $30,000. This reduction is reflected as income
-20-
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
from the cumulative effect of the adoption of a new accounting principle on our statement of
operations. We do not believe the effect of adoption of this accounting principle at January 1,
2005 would have been material. The adjustment of the liability to its fair value of $1.5 million
at September 30, 2006, resulted in general and administrative expense of $0.4 million and $0.9
million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

The weighted-average fair value at September 30, 2006 of rights granted during the nine months
of 2006 was $3.11 per right. The total intrinsic value of rights exercised during the first three
quarters of 2006 was $270,000, which was paid in cash to the participants.
At September 30, 2006, there was $0.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related
to rights that we expect will vest under the plan. This amount was calculated as the fair value at
September 30, 2006 multiplied by those rights for which compensation cost has not been recognized,
adjusted for estimated forfeitures. This unrecognized cost will be recalculated at each balance
sheet date until the rights are exercised, forfeited or expire. For the awards outstanding at
September 30, 2006, the remaining cost will be recognized over a weighted average period of 1 year.
13. Income Taxes
In May 2006, the State of Texas enacted a margin tax that will become effective in 2008. This
margin tax will require us to pay a tax of 0.5% on our margin, as defined in the law, beginning
in 2008 based on our 2007 results. The margin to which the tax rate will be applied generally will
be calculated as our revenues for federal income tax purposes less the cost of the products sold
for federal income tax purposes, in the State of Texas. Under the provisions of Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, we are required to record
the effects on deferred taxes for a change in tax rates or tax law in the period that includes the
enactment date.
Under FAS 109, taxes based on income like the Texas margin tax are accounted for using the
liability method under which deferred income taxes are recognized for the future tax effects of
temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax basis of
existing assets and liabilities using the enacted statutory tax rates in effect at the end of the
period. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is recorded when it is more likely than not
that the benefit from the deferred tax asset will not be realized.
Temporary differences related to our inventory will affect the Texas margin tax, so we have
recorded a deferred tax asset in the amount of $11,000. We believe that we will be able to utilize
this deferred tax asset at September 30, 2006, and therefore have provided no valuation allowance
against this deferred tax asset.

In the discussions that follow, we will focus on two measures that we use to manage the
business and to review the results of our operations. Those two measures are segment margin and
Available Cash before Reserves. Our profitability depends to a significant extent upon our ability
to maximize segment margin. Segment margin is calculated as revenues less cost of sales and
operating expense, and does not include depreciation and amortization. Segment margin also
includes our equity in the operating income of joint ventures. A reconciliation of segment margin
to income from continuing operations is included in our segment disclosures in Note 6 to the
consolidated financial statements. Available Cash before Reserves is a non-GAAP liquidity measure
calculated as net income with several adjustments, the most significant of which are the
elimination of gains and losses on asset sales, except those from the sale of surplus assets, the
addition of non-cash expenses such as depreciation, the replacement with the amount recognized as
our equity in the income of joint ventures with the available cash generated from those ventures,
and the subtraction of maintenance capital expenditures, which are expenditures to sustain existing
cash flows but not to provide new sources of revenues. For additional information on Available
Cash before Reserves and a reconciliation of this measure to cash flows from operations, see
Liquidity and Capital Resources Non-GAAP Financial Measure below.
Overview
We conduct our business through three segments pipeline transportation, industrial gases and
crude oil gathering and marketing. We have a diverse portfolio of customers and assets, including
pipeline transportation of primarily crude oil and, to a lesser extent, natural gas and
CO2 in the Gulf Coast region of the United Sates. In conjunction with our crude oil
pipeline transportation operations, we operate a crude oil gathering and marketing business, which
helps ensure a base supply of crude oil for our pipelines. We also participate in industrial gas
activities, including a CO2 supply business, which is associated with the CO2
tertiary oil recovery process being used in Mississippi by an affiliate of our general partner.
We generate revenues by selling crude oil and industrial gases, by charging fees for the
transportation of crude oil, natural gas and CO2 on our pipelines, and, through our
joint venture in T&P Syngas Supply Company, by charging fees for services to produce syngas for our
customer from the customers raw materials. Our focus is on the margin we earn on these revenues,
which is calculated by subtracting the costs of the crude oil and natural gas; the costs of
transporting the crude oil, natural gas and CO2 to the customer; and the costs of
operating our assets. We also report our share of the earnings of our joint ventures, T&P Syngas,
in which we acquired a 50% interest on April 1, 2005, and Sandhill Group, LLC, in which we acquired
a 50% interest on April 1, 2006.
Our objective is to operate as a growth-oriented midstream MLP with a focus on increasing cash
flow, earnings and return to our unitholders by becoming one of the leading providers of pipeline
transportation, crude oil gathering and marketing and industrial gas services in the regions in
which we operate. With the new credit agreement discussed in New Management Team and New Credit
Facility below, we will be positioned to make accretive acquisitions and develop internal growth
projects. We are pursuing acquisitions and projects involving transportation, gathering,
terminalling or storage assets and related midstream businesses, some of which may be outside the
scope of our historical operations. We are presently engaged in discussions with various parties
regarding acquisitions of assets or businesses, but we can give no assurance that our efforts will
be successful or that any acquisitions will be completed on terms favorable to us.

GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Increases in cash flow generally result in increases in Available Cash, which we distribute
quarterly to our unitholders and general partner. During the third quarter of 2006, we generated
$4.1 million of Available Cash before Reserves, and distributed $2.8 million to our unitholders and
general partner. During the third quarter of 2006, cash provided by operations was $8.3 million.
In the third quarter of 2006, we generated net income of $1.7 million, or $0.12 per common
unit. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, net income totaled $7.7 million, or
$0.55 per common unit. The results for 2006 include increased segment margin from our pipeline
transportation and crude oil gathering and marketing segments and significant contributions from
asset acquisitions in the industrial gases segment. We also adopted a new accounting pronouncement
affecting the manner in which we value and account for our stock appreciation rights plan. We
recorded a charge of $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2006 related to transition costs for the
change in our senior management team that reduced our net income and Available Cash for both the
third quarter and the nine-month period.
We increased our cash distribution by $0.01 per unit for the each of the first and second
quarters of 2006 (which were paid in May and August 2006) and increased our cash distribution by
$0.01 per unit again to $0.20 per unit for the third quarter of 2006. This distribution will be
paid in November 2006. This distribution represented a 25% increase from our distribution of $0.16
per unit for the third quarter of 2005.
New Management Team and New Credit Facility
On August 8, 2006, we hired three senior executive officers: Grant E. Sims, former CEO of
Leviathan Gas Pipeline Partners, L.P. was appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer and a member
of the Board of Directors; Joseph A. Blount, Jr., former President and Chief Operating Officer of
Unocal Midstream & Trade, was appointed as President and Chief Operating Officer; and Brad N.
Graves, former Vice President of Enterprise Products Partners, L.P., was appointed as Executive
Vice President of Business Development. This management team will be responsible for designing and
implementing a growth-oriented strategy that will include acquisitions from third parties,
development projects and, ultimately, acquisitions from (or lease arrangements with) Denbury. A
company owned by Messrs. Sims, Blount and Graves will have the opportunity to earn up to 20% of the
equity interest in our general partner (currently owned 100% by Denbury), subject to meeting
certain performance criteria.
Given the performance of our existing business segments, we have the flexibility to now focus
to a greater extent on increasing the long-term value of our partnership units. To further that
strategy, we have recently received commitments from a syndicate of banks and are in the process of
completing documentation to replace our existing credit facility with a new facility. This
facility, with up to $500 million of ultimate availability, would position us to execute our plan
to make significant accretive investments to grow the partnership
Acquisitions in 2006
Sandhill Investment
On April 1, 2006, we acquired a 50% partnership interest in Sandhill Group, LLC for $5 million
from Magna Carta Group, LLC. Magna Carta holds the other 50% interest in Sandhill. Sandhill is a
limited liability company that owns a CO2 processing facility located in Brandon,
Mississippi. Sandhill is engaged in the production and distribution of liquid carbon dioxide for
use in the food, beverage, chemical and oil industries. The facility acquires CO2 from
us under a long-term supply contract that we acquired in 2005 from Denbury.
The acquisition was financed with cash on hand. The terms of the acquisition include earnout
provisions such that additional payments of up to $2.0 million would be paid by us to Magna Carta
if Sandhill achieves targeted performance levels during the seven years between 2006 and 2012
inclusive. We have also guaranteed to Sandhills lender 50% of the outstanding debt of $4.7
million, or $2.35 million.
Sandhill is managed by a management committee consisting of two representatives each from
Magna Carta and us. Our equity in the earnings of Sandhill is included in our industrial gases
segment. Additional discussion of
the earnout provisions and guaranty of Sandhills debt is included in Note 3 to the financial
statements and in Commitments and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements below.

The Mississippi System begins in Soso, Mississippi and extends to Liberty, Mississippi. At
Liberty, shippers can transfer the crude oil to Capline, a pipeline system that moves crude oil
from the Gulf Coast to refineries in the Midwest. During recent years, we have improved the system
to handle the increased volumes produced by Denbury and transported on the pipeline. In order to
handle future increases in production volumes in the areas that are expected, we have made capital
expenditures for tank, station and pipeline improvements and we intend to make further
improvements. See Capital Expenditures under Liquidity and Capital Resources below.
Denbury is the largest producer (based on average barrels produced per day) of crude oil in
the State of Mississippi. Our Mississippi System is adjacent to several of Denburys existing and
prospective oil fields. As Denbury continues to acquire and develop old oil fields using
CO2 based tertiary recovery operations, additional crude oil gathering and CO2
supply infrastructure will be needed, although we can provide no assurance that we will be
involved in any such projects.
The Jay pipeline system in Florida/Alabama ships crude oil from fields with relatively short
remaining production lives. While new production in the area surrounding the Jay System has offset
some of the declining production curves of the older producing fields in the area, we do not know
if this new production will be sufficient to continue to offset declining production from existing
wells in the area. The new production produces greater tariff revenue for us due to the greater
distance that the crude oil travels on the pipeline. This increased revenue, increases in tariff
rates each year on the remaining segments of the pipeline, sales of pipeline loss allowance
volumes, and operating efficiencies that have decreased operating costs have contributed to sustain
our cash flows from the Jay System at a level that has offset the effects of the decline in
volumes. Therefore we do not anticipate that the declines in volumes will affect the
recoverability of our remaining net investment in the Jay System.
Should the production surrounding the Jay System decline such that it becomes uneconomical to
continue to operate the pipeline in crude oil service, we believe that the best use of the Jay
System may be to convert it to natural gas service. We have reviewed opportunities to effect such
a conversion and would do so again if performance of the Jay System suggested it would be prudent
to do so. Part of the process will involve finding alternative methods for us to continue to
provide crude oil transportation services in the area. While we believe this initiative has
long-term potential, it is not expected to have a substantial impact on us during 2006 or 2007.
Volumes on our Texas System averaged 32,335 barrels per day during the first nine months of
2006. The crude oil that enters our system comes to us at West Columbia where we have a connection
to TEPPCOs South Texas System and at Webster where we have connections to two other pipelines.
One of these connections at Webster is with ExxonMobil Pipeline and is used to receive volumes that
originate from TEPPCOs pipelines. We have a joint tariff with TEPPCO under which we earn
approximately $0.22 per barrel on the majority of the barrels we deliver to the shippers
facilities. Substantially all of the volumes being shipped on our Texas System go to two
refineries on the Texas Gulf Coast.
Our Texas System is dependent on connecting carriers for supply, and on the two refineries for
demand for our services. Volumes on the Texas System fluctuate as a result of changes in the
supply available for the two

refineries to acquire and ship on our pipeline. We lease tankage in
Webster on the Texas System of approximately 165,000 barrels. We have a tank rental reimbursement
agreement with the primary shipper on our Texas System to reimburse us for leasing that storage
capacity. Volumes on the Texas System may continue to fluctuate as refiners on the Texas Gulf
Coast compete for crude oil with other markets connected to TEPPCOs pipeline systems.
We operate a CO2 pipeline in Mississippi to transport CO2 from Denburys
main CO2 pipeline to Brookhaven oil field. Denbury has the exclusive right to use this
CO2 pipeline. This arrangement has been accounted for as a direct financing lease.
Historically, the largest operating costs in our crude oil pipeline segment have consisted of
personnel costs, power costs, maintenance costs and costs of compliance with regulations. Some of
these costs are not predictable, such as equipment failure or power cost increases. We perform
regular maintenance on our assets to keep them in good operational condition and to minimize cost
increases.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2005
Pipeline segment margin increased $1.6 million or 83% to $3.5 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30,
2005. Revenues from crude oil and CO2 tariffs and related sources added the majority of
the increase for the period. Higher market prices for crude oil added $0.5 million to pipeline
loss allowance revenues. Volumes on the pipelines increased, combining with increased tariffs to
add $0.5 million to crude oil tariff revenues.
Also contributing to the improved quarterly results was a reduction of $0.6 million in the
costs of operating our pipelines. We substantially completed the first cycle of our required
testing and repairs under our integrity management program during 2005, with a substantial portion
of those costs occurring in the third quarter of 2005. Similar costs were not required in the
third quarter of 2006.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005
Pipeline segment margin increased $2.7 million or 38% to $9.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2006, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2005. Revenues from
crude oil and CO2 tariffs and related sources increased by $2.2 million with the
majority of that increase resulting from the effects of higher crude oil market prices on pipeline
loss allowance revenues.

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Segment margin from our natural gas pipelines also increased by $0.2 million, primarily as a
result of improved volumes.
As discussed in the third quarter comparison, we substantially completed our first cycle of
IMP requirements in 2005. Although costs related to electricity, insurance and right-of way
maintenance increased, the reduction in IMP activities in 2006 resulted in an overall decline in
pipeline operating costs of $0.4 million.
Industrial Gases Segment
Our industrial gases segment includes the results of our CO2 sales to industrial
customers and our share of the operating income of our 50% interests in T&P Syngas and Sandhill.
CO2
We supply CO2 to industrial customers under seven long-term CO2 sales
contracts. We acquired those contracts, as well as the CO2 necessary to satisfy our
expected obligations under those contracts, in three separate transactions with Denbury. We sell
our CO2 to customers who treat the CO2 and sell it to end users for use for
beverage carbonation and food chilling and freezing and other applications. Our compensation for
supplying CO2 to our industrial customers is the difference between the price at which
we sell our CO2 under each contract and the price at which we acquired our
CO2 pursuant to our volumetric production payments (VPPs), minus transportation costs.
We expect our CO2 contracts to provide stable cash flows until they expire, at which
time we will attempt to extend or replace those contracts, including acquiring the necessary
CO2 supply. At September 30, 2006, we have 216.8 Bcf of CO2 remaining under
the VPPs.
The terms of our contracts with the industrial CO2 customers include minimum
take-or-pay and maximum delivery volumes. The maximum daily contract quantity per year in the
contracts totals 98,000 Mcf. Under the minimum take-or-pay volumes, the customers must purchase a
total of 51,000 Mcf per day whether received or not. Any volume purchased under the take-or-pay
provision in any year can then be recovered in a future year as long as the minimum requirement is
met in that year. In the three years ended December 31, 2005, all of our customers purchased more
than their minimum take-or-pay quantities.
Our seven industrial contracts expire at various dates beginning in 2010 and extending through
2023. The sales contracts contain provisions for adjustments for inflation to sales prices based
on the Producer Price Index, with a minimum price. One of the seven contracts is with Sandhill in
which we hold a 50% ownership interest. The contract with Sandhill expires in 2023.
Our industrial customers treat the CO2 and transport it to their own customers.
The primary industrial applications of CO2 by these customers include beverage
carbonation and food chilling and freezing. Based on historical data for 2004 through 2006, we can
expect some seasonality in our sales of CO2. The dominant months for beverage
carbonation and freezing food are from April to October, when warm weather increases demand for
beverages and the approaching holidays increase demand for frozen foods. The table below depicts
these seasonal fluctuations. The average daily sales (in Mcfs) of CO2 for each quarter
in 2006, 2005 and 2004 under these contracts (including volumes sold by Denbury on the contracts we
acquired in the third quarter of 2004 and fourth quarter of 2005) were as follows:

Syngas
On April 1, 2005, we acquired from TCHI Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ChevronTexaco
Global Energy Inc., a 50% partnership interest in T&P Syngas for $13.4 million in cash, which we
funded with proceeds from our credit facility. T&P Syngas is a partnership which owns a facility
located in Texas City, Texas that manufactures syngas (a combination of carbon monoxide and
hydrogen) and high-pressure steam. Under that processing agreement, Praxair provides the raw
materials to be processed and receives the syngas and steam produced by the facility. T&P Syngas
receives a processing fee for its services. Praxair has the exclusive right to use the facility
through at least 2016 (term extendable at Praxairs option for two additional five year terms).
Praxair also is our partner in the joint venture and owns the remaining 50% interest. We recognize
our share of the earnings of T&P Syngas in each period. We are amortizing the excess of the price
we paid for our interest in T&P Syngas over our share of the equity of T&P Syngas over the
remaining useful life of the assets of T&P Syngas. This excess of $4.0 million is being amortized
over eleven years. We receive cash distributions from T&P Syngas quarterly.
Sandhill
On April 1, 2006, we acquired from Magna Carta Group, LLC a 50% partnership interest in
Sandhill for $5.0 million in cash, which we funded with cash on hand. Magna Carta owns the
remaining 50% of Sandhill. Sandhill is a limited liability company that owns a CO2
processing facility located in Brandon, Mississippi. Sandhill is engaged in the production and
distribution of liquid carbon dioxide for use in the food, beverage, chemicals and oil industries.
The facility acquires CO2 from us under a long-term supply contract that we acquired in
2005 from Denbury. This contract expires in 2023, and provides for a daily contract quantity of
16,000 Mcf per day with a take-or-pay minimum quantity of 2,500,000 Mcf.
We recognize our share of the earnings of Sandhill in each period. We paid $3.8 million more
for our interest in Sandhill than our share of the equity on the balance sheet of Sandhill at the
date of acquisition. This excess of the purchase price over our share of the equity of Sandhill
has been allocated to the property and equipment and intangible assets based on the fair value of
those assets, with the remaining $0.7 million allocated to goodwill. We are amortizing the amount
allocated to property, equipment and intangibles over the remaining useful lives of those assets.
The amount allocated to goodwill will be reviewed for impairment periodically.

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2005
The increasing margins from the industrial gases segment between the third quarters of 2005
and 2006 are primarily attributable to the acquisition we made in the fourth quarter of 2005 in
this segment. The average revenue per Mcf sold increased 6% between the periods, due to inflation
adjustments in the contracts and variations in the volumes sold under each contract.
Transportation costs for the CO2 on Denburys pipeline have increased due to the
increased volume and the effect of the annual inflation factor in the rate paid to Denbury. The
rate per Mcf in 2006 increased 4% over the 2005 third quarter rate.
Our share of the operating income of T&P Syngas for the third quarter of 2006 was $374,000.
We reduced the amount we recorded as our equity in T&P Syngas by $88,000 as amortization of the
excess purchase price of T&P Syngas. During the third quarter of 2006, T&P Syngas paid us a
distribution of $608,000 attributable to the second quarter of 2006.
Our share of the operating income of Sandhill for the third quarter of 2006 was $46,000. We
reduced the amount we recorded as our equity in Sandhill by $65,000 for amortization of the excess
purchase price of Sandhill. We received a distribution of $65,000 during the third quarter
attributable to the second quarter.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005
The nine month period in 2006 includes the margins from CO2 sales under industrial contracts
acquired in 2005, providing approximately $2.7 million of the $3.6 million improvement in segment
margin. Variations in the volumes sold under each of the existing group of contracts, combined with
inflation adjustments in the contracts, added additional revenues. The effect of the annual
inflation factor in the rate paid to Denbury increased transportation costs.
T&P Syngas provided $921,000 of the equity from joint ventures for the nine-month period. Our
share of T&P Syngas earnings was $1,185,000, and we recorded $264,000 for amortization of the
excess purchase price. In 2006, T&P has paid $1,438,000 in cumulative distributions to us.
For the six months in 2006 that we have owned our interest in Sandhill, we recorded $136,000
as our equity in the earnings of Sandhill, and we recorded $138,000 of amortization of the excess
purchase price.
Crude Oil Gathering and Marketing Operations
We conduct certain crude oil aggregating operations, which involve purchasing, gathering,
transporting by trucks and pipelines owned by us and trucks, pipelines and barges operated by
others, and reselling, that (among other things) help ensure supply for our crude oil pipeline
systems. Our profit for those services is derived from the difference between the price at which
we re-sell crude oil less the price at which we purchase that crude oil, minus the associated costs
of aggregation and any cost of supplying credit. The most substantial component of our aggregating
costs relates to operating our fleet of leased trucks. Our crude oil gathering and marketing
activities provide us with extensive expertise, knowledge base and skill sets that facilitate our
ability to capitalize on regional opportunities which arise from time to time in our market areas.
Usually this segment experiences limited commodity price risk because we generally make
back-to-back purchases and sales, matching our sale and purchase volumes on a monthly basis.
The commodity price (for purchases and sales) of crude oil do not necessarily bear a
relationship to segment margin as those prices normally impact revenues and costs of sales by
approximately equivalent amounts. Because period-to-period variations in revenues and costs of
sales are not generally meaningful in analyzing the variation in segment margin for our gathering
and marketing operations, these changes are not addressed in the following discussion.
Generally, as we purchase crude oil, we simultaneously establish a margin by selling crude oil
for physical delivery to third party users, such as independent refiners or major oil companies.
Through these transactions, we seek to maintain a position that is substantially balanced between
crude oil purchases, on the one hand, and sales or future delivery obligations, on the other hand.
We do not hold crude oil, futures contracts or other derivative

MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
products to speculate on crude oil price changes. When our positions become unbalanced such
that we have inventory, we will use derivative instruments to hedge that inventory until such time
as we can sell it into the market.
When the crude oil markets are in contango, (oil prices for future deliveries are higher than
for current deliveries), we may store crude oil as inventory in our storage tanks that we have
purchased at lower prices in the current month for delivery at higher prices in future months.
When we purchase this inventory, we simultaneously enter into a contract to sell the inventory in
the future period, either with a counterparty or in the crude oil futures market. The maximum
storage available to us for use in this strategy is approximately 120,000 barrels, although
maintenance activities on our pipelines impact the availability of this storage capacity. We
generally will account for this inventory and the related derivative hedge as a fair value hedge in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133. See Note 10 to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.
Most of our contracts for the purchase and sale of crude oil have components in the pricing
provisions such that the price paid or received is adjusted for changes in the market price for
crude oil. The pricing in the majority of our purchase contracts contain the market price
component, a bonus that is not fixed, but instead is based on another market factor and a deduction
to cover the cost of transporting the crude oil and to provide us with a margin. Contracts will
sometimes also contain a grade differential which considers the chemical composition of the crude
oil and its appeal to different customers. Typically the pricing in a contract to sell crude oil
will consist of the market price components and the grade differentials. The margin on individual
transactions is then dependent on our ability to manage our transportation costs and to capitalize
on grade differentials.
Field operating costs consist of the costs to operate our fleet of leased trucks used to
transport crude oil, and the costs to maintain the trucks and assets used in the crude oil
gathering operation. More than 60% of these costs are variable and increase or decrease with
volumetric changes. These costs include payroll and benefits (as drivers are paid on a commission
basis based on volumes), maintenance costs for the trucks (as we lease the trucks under full
service maintenance contracts under which we pay a maintenance fee per mile driven), and fuel
costs. Fuel costs also fluctuate based on changes in the market price of diesel fuel. Fixed costs
include the base lease payment for the vehicle, insurance costs and costs for environmental and
safety related operations.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 as Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2005
Gathering and marketing segment margins increased $0.9 million to $2.0 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2006, as compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended September
30, 2005. The primary reasons for this increase in segment margin were a decrease in field costs
of $0.7 million and a $0.3 million
-30-

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
improvement in marketing margins. Adding to the improved segment margin was a $0.1 million
increase in revenues from volumes that we transported for a fee but did not purchase.
The $0.7 million decrease in field costs in 2006 is attributable to a reduction in the size of
our fleet. When we leased new trucks late in 2005, we reduced the size of the fleet to better
match the volumes being purchased. This reduction in fleet size reduced personnel and truck lease
costs. Higher fuel costs offset part of the reduction. Fuel costs during the 2006 quarter
increased more than $0.29 per gallon over the 2005 quarter.
Marketing margins have improved between the periods as we have focused on eliminating volumes
providing insufficient contribution to our segment margin. New business with higher profit margins
has replaced some of these volumes.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 as Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005
For the nine month periods, gathering and marketing segment margins increased $3.7 million, to
more than twice the result for the 2005 period. Reduced field operating costs added $1.6 million
to margin. Most of the remaining increase of $2.1 million resulted again from a focus on
eliminating less profitable volumes, and increasing profitability on the volumes retained.
Additionally, while we have been in a contango crude oil price market for most of 2005 and 2006,
the contribution to segment margin from our inventory hedges has been greater in the 2006 period.
The majority of the decrease in field operating costs of $1.6 million is attributable to a
reduction in the size of our trucking fleet, combined with a reserve we recorded in 2005 of $0.4
million for 40% of the expected costs to remediate Jay Station. The fleet size reduction reduced
personnel and lease costs for the tractor/trailers by a total of $0.5 million. Insurance costs
were also reduced by $0.3 million due to the decreased activity level. These reductions were
partially offset by increased fuel costs, which added $0.2 million to field costs despite the
smaller fleet size. Prices for diesel fuel for the 2006 period were approximately $0.44 per gallon
greater than in the 2005 period.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared with Three Months Ended September 30, 2005
General and administrative expenses increased by $1.3 million. Transition costs related to
our new management team added $1.3 million to expenses. A $0.3 million decrease attributable to
our employee stock appreciation rights plan was offset by increases totaling $0.3 million in other
general and administrative costs.
In August 2006, we added a new management team as discussed in our Overview above.
Severance costs and other costs related to the transition totaled $1.3 million.
Our stock appreciation rights plan is a long-term incentive plan whereby rights are granted
for the grantee to receive cash equal to the difference between the grant price and common unit
price at date of exercise. The rights vest over several years. In 2005 we accounted for these
rights under the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 28, which provided that we calculate the
difference between the current market price for our common units and the strike price of the
rights. On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of a new accounting pronouncement for
accounting for stock-based compensation. Under this pronouncement, we determine the fair value of
the rights at each balance sheet date, and record the change in fair value over the service period
required from our employees

before the rights vest. See additional discussion below under Cumulative Effect Adjustment
of Adoption of New Accounting Principle and in Note 12 to the financial statements.
The remaining increase in general and administrative expenses is attributable to employee
costs. As a result of our improved results, the accrual for bonus compensation for our employees
is $0.3 million greater than for the 2005 three-month period.
Nine Months Ended September 30, 2006 Compared with Nine Months Ended September 30, 2005
Between the two nine-month periods, general and administrative expenses were $3.9 million
greater. $1.3 million was related to the transition and severance costs discussed above. $1.4
million of the increase is attributable to the accounting for the stock appreciation rights plan.
The remaining $1.2 million increase in general and administrative expenses was attributable
primarily to increases in employee costs, including benefits and bonus accruals.
Depreciation, amortization and impairment expense increased $0.5 million between 2005
and 2006 third quarters, and $1.3 million between the nine-month periods. The majority of these
increases related to amortization of our CO2 assets. Amortization of the CO2
assets increased due to the additional CO2 volumes sold in the 2006 periods as compared
to 2005. These additional sales related primarily to the CO2 contracts acquired in the
fourth quarter of 2005.

In the 2006 third quarter, our net interest expense decreased by $0.3 million compared to the
2005 period. In the 2006 period, our average outstanding balance of bank debt was $16.1 million
lower than in the 2005 third quarter and our average interest rate was 1.5% greater than in the
2005 period. For the nine-month periods, interest expense was $0.6 million lower due to average
outstanding bank debt that was $13.7 million lower and an interest rate that was 1.2% greater. Our
equity offering in December 2005 was used to repay outstanding debt from acquisitions in 2005 and
prior years, resulting in the lower average debt balance in 2006.
As a result of the termination of our existing credit facility to enter into a new facility
(see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), we will write-off $0.5 million of deferred
facility fees related to the existing credit facility in the fourth quarter of 2006.
Gain on disposal of surplus assets. In the 2006 third quarter and first nine months,
we disposed of a minimal amount of surplus assets. In the 2005 first nine months, we sold the
Liberty to Maryland segment of our Mississippi pipeline and two idle segments of pipeline in Texas.
The Mississippi segment had been out-of-service since February 2002. The Texas segments were idle
as a result of our sale of part of our Texas System to TEPPCO in 2003. Additionally we sold an
idle site in Houma, Louisiana. We received $1.3 million from the sales of these assets and
realized gains totaling $0.5 million, of which $0.3 million was recorded as discontinued
operations.
Cumulative Effect Adjustment Adoption of New Accounting Principle
On January 1, 2006, we adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R). In December 2004, the FASB
issued SFAS No. 123 (revised December 2004), Share-Based Payments. The adoption of this
statement requires that the compensation cost associated with our stock appreciation rights plan,
which upon exercise will result in the payment of cash to the employee, be re-measured each
reporting period based on the fair value of the rights. Before the
-32-
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
adoption of SFAS 123(R), we accounted for the stock appreciation rights in accordance with
FASB Interpretation No. 28, Accounting for Stock Appreciation Rights and Other Variable Stock
Option or Award Plans which required that the liability under the plan be measured at each balance
sheet date based on the market price of our common units on that date. Under SFAS 123(R), the
liability will be calculated using a fair value method that will take into consideration the
expected future value of the rights at their expected exercise dates.
We have elected to calculate the fair value of the rights under the plan using the
Black-Scholes valuation model. This model requires that we consider the expected volatility of the
market price for our common units, the current price of our common units, the exercise price of the
rights, the expected life of the rights, the current risk free interest rate, and our expected
annual distribution yield. This valuation is then applied to the vested rights outstanding and to
the non-vested rights based on the percentage of the service period that has elapsed. The
valuation is adjusted for expected forfeitures of rights (due to terminations before vesting, or
expirations after vesting). The liability amount accrued on the balance sheet is adjusted to this
amount with the adjustment reflected in the statement of operations.
The estimates that we made upon the adoption of this standard at January 1, 2006 included the
following:
|
|
|
In determining the expected life of the rights, we used the simplified method allowed
by the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have very limited experience with
employee exercise patterns, as our plan was initiated on December 31, 2003. The
simplified method produces an initial expected life of 6.25 years for those rights we
issued that vest 25% per year for four years, and an initial expected life of 7 years
for those rights we issued that fully vest at the end of a four-year period. |
|
|
|
|
The expected volatility of our units was computed using the historical period we
believe is representative of future expectations. We determined what period to use in
the historical period by considering whether we were paying distributions to our
unitholders, and at what rate. The expected volatility used in the fair value
calculations was approximately 33% at January 1, 2006 and 32% at September 30, 2006. |
|
|
|
|
The risk-free interest rate was determined from current yields for U.S. Treasury
zero-coupon bonds with a term similar to the remaining expected life of the rights. |
|
|
|
|
In determining our expected future distribution yield, we considered our history of
distribution payments, our expectations for future payments, and the distribution yields
of entities similar to us. |
|
|
|
|
The final estimate we were required to make is the expected forfeitures of non-vested
rights and expirations of vested rights. As our stock appreciation rights plan was not
put in place until December 31, 2003, we have very limited experience with employee
forfeiture and expiration patterns. We reviewed the history available to us as well as
employee turnover patterns in determining the rates to use. We also decided to use
different estimates for different groups of employees. |
At December 31, 2005, we had a recorded liability of $0.8 million, computed under the
provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 28. We calculated the effect of adoption of SFAS 123(R) at
January 1, 2006, and determined that our recorded liability at December 31, 2005 should be reduced
by $30,000. This reduction is reflected as income from the cumulative effect of the adoption of a
new accounting principle on our statement of operations. We do not believe the effect of adoption
of this accounting principle at January 1, 2005 would have been material. The adjustment of the
liability to its fair value at September 30, 2006, resulted in the expense of $0.9 million that is
included in general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2006.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Capital Resources
At September 30, 2006 we had a $100 million credit facility comprised of a $50 million
revolving line of credit for acquisitions and a $50 million working capital revolving facility. At
September 30, 2006, we had $9.2 million in letters of credit and $6.0 million of debt outstanding
under the working capital portion.
-33-
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Interest on amounts borrowed under the credit facility is equal to (x) either the applicable
Eurodollar settlement rate or the higher of the Federal funds rate plus 1/2 of 1% or Bank of
Americas prime rate for the relevant period, at our option, plus (y) the applicable margin rate.
We are required to pay our credit facility lenders a fee based upon amounts available but not
borrowed under each of the acquisition and working capital facilities, as well as certain other
fees.
The aggregate amount that we may have outstanding at any time in loans and letters of credit
under the working capital portion of our credit facility is subject to a borrowing base
calculation. The borrowing base is limited to $50 million and is calculated monthly. At September
30, 2006, the borrowing base was $49.5 million. The total amount available for borrowings at
September 30, 2006 was $9.0 million under the working capital portion and $50.0 million under the
acquisition portion of our credit facility.
We must comply with various affirmative and negative covenants contained in our credit
facility. Among other things, those covenants limit our ability to:
|
|
|
incur additional indebtedness or liens; |
|
|
|
|
make payments in respect of or redeem or acquire any debt or equity issued by us; |
|
|
|
|
sell assets; |
|
|
|
|
make loans or investments; |
|
|
|
|
extend credit; |
|
|
|
|
acquire or be acquired by other companies; |
|
|
|
|
enter into or amend certain existing agreements to the detriment of the lenders
under the credit facility; and |
|
|
|
|
to maintain physical petroleum inventory for which there is not an off-setting
sale or hedging agreement, subject to specified exceptions. |
Our credit facility covenants also require us to achieve specified minimum financial metrics.
For example, before we may make distributions to our partners, we must maintain a cash flow
coverage ratio of at least 1.1 to 1.0. In general, this calculation compares operating cash
inflows, as adjusted in accordance with the credit facility, less maintenance capital expenditures,
to the sum of interest expense and distributions. At September 30 2006, the calculation resulted
in a ratio of 1.7 to 1.0. The credit facility also requires that the level of operating cash
inflows during the prior twelve months, as adjusted in accordance with the credit facility, be at
least $8.5 million. At September 30, 2006, the result of this calculation was $21.4 million. Our
credit facility also requires that we meet or exceed certain other financial ratios, such as a
current ratio, leverage ratio and funded indebtedness to capitalization ratio. If we meet these
covenants and are not otherwise in default under our credit facility, we are otherwise not limited
by our credit facility in making distributions to our partners.
The covenants described above could prevent us from engaging in certain transactions which
might otherwise be considered beneficial to us. For example, they could:
|
|
|
increase our vulnerability to generally adverse economic and industry
conditions; |
|
|
|
|
limit our ability to make distributions to unitholders; to fund future working
capital, capital expenditures and other general partnership requirements; to engage in
future acquisitions, construction or development activities; or to otherwise fully realize
the value of our assets and opportunities because of the need to dedicate a substantial
portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our indebtedness or to comply with
any restrictive terms of our indebtedness; and |
|
|
|
|
limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our
businesses and the industries in which we operate. |
Our credit facility contains customary events of default, including for non-payment of
principal and interest, and failure to comply with any covenant.
-34-
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Our average daily outstanding balance under our credit facility during the first nine months
of 2006 was less than $4 million. The interest rate we paid during this same period was 8.35%.
Our credit facility is secured by liens on substantially all of our assets.
We have recently received commitments from a syndicate of 15 banks and are in the process of
completing documentation to replace our existing facility with a new facility. We expect to
complete the documentation of the new facility by the end of November 2006. This new facility,
with a maximum facility amount of $500 million (subject to customary borrowing conditions), would
have an initial commitment amount under the facility of $125 million. The commitment amount could
be increased up to the maximum facility amount to allow us to make acquisitions.

We have no commitments to make capital expenditures; however, we anticipate that our
maintenance capital expenditures for 2006 will total to approximately $1.0 million. The remainder
to be spent in 2006 is expected to relate to improvements on all of our crude oil pipeline systems.
Maintenance capital expenditures for 2007 are expected to total to approximately $1.7 million.
Based on the information available to us at this time, we do not anticipate that future capital
expenditures for compliance with regulatory requirements will be material.
With the new credit agreement discussed in Capital Resources above, we will be positioned to
make accretive acquisitions and develop internal growth projects. We are pursuing accretive
acquisitions and projects involving transportation, gathering, terminalling or storage assets and
related midstream businesses, some of which may be outside the scope of our historical operations.
We are presently engaged in discussions with various parties regarding acquisitions of assets or
businesses, but we can give no assurance that our efforts will be successful or that any
acquisitions will be completed on terms favorable to us.
Denbury has been and may continue to be a significant source of growth acquisitions for us.
Denbury has disclosed its intent to enter into long-term financing or sales transactions with us
with respect to its existing or planned CO2 pipelines. These transactions would be
conditioned on our achievement of certain goals, primarily the acquisition of other economic
projects that are not related to Denbury, based upon acquisition by us of $1.50 of non-

Denbury acquisitions for every $1.00 of financings or sales with Denbury, subject to reaching
mutually agreeable terms.
Sources of Future Capital
Our new credit facility provides us with a bank group to support our current operations and
our plans for growth. As discussed above, this syndicate of banks will be making an initial
commitment to us of $125 million with an approval process in place to increase that amount to $500
million. We expect to use cash flows from operating activities to fund cash distributions and
maintenance capital expenditures needed to sustain existing operations. Future acquisitions or
capital projects for our expansion will require funding through borrowings under our new credit
facility or from proceeds from equity offerings, or a combination of the two sources of funds.
Cash Flows
Our primary sources of cash flows are operations, credit facilities, and in 2005, proceeds
from the sale of idle assets. Our primary uses of cash flows are capital expenditures and
distributions. A summary of our cash flows is as follows:

Our operating cash flows are affected significantly by changes in items of working capital.
The cash settlement from the purchase and sale of crude oil typically occurs within 25 days after
the end of the month. We have had situations, however, where other parties have prepaid for
purchases or paid more than was due, resulting in fluctuations in one period as compared to the
next until the party recovers the excess payment. Decisions to acquire inventory in a contango
crude oil pricing market also affect the cash flows from operating activities between periods. The
timing of operating expenditures and the related effect on our recorded liabilities also affects
operating cash flows.
Our accounts receivable settle monthly and collection delays generally relate only to
discrepancies or disputes as to the appropriate price, volume or quality of crude oil delivered.
Of the $92 million aggregate receivables on our consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2006,
approximately $90.5 million, or 98.7%, were less than 30 days past the invoice date.
Investing. In 2006, we utilized cash flows to make an investment in a joint venture and other
investments and to make capital expenditures, primarily related to equipment we installed on our
newly leased trucks used in our gathering operations, and for pipeline improvements.
Financing. In the first nine months of 2006, we borrowed $6.0 million under our credit
facility. We also paid distributions to our unitholders and our general partner totaling $7.6
million. In the prior year period, we increased our borrowings by $17.3 million and paid
distributions totaling $4.3 million.
Distributions
We are required by our partnership agreement to distribute 100% of our available cash (as
defined therein) within 45 days after the end of each quarter to unitholders of record and to our
general partner. Available cash consists generally of all of our cash receipts less cash
disbursements adjusted for net changes to reserves. We have increased our distribution for each of
the last three quarters, including the distribution to be paid for the second quarter of 2006, as
shown in the table below.

The total amounts in the table above increased with the distribution for the fourth quarter of
2005 due to the issuance of 4,470,630 new common units in December 2005.
Our general partner is entitled to receive incentive distributions if the amount we distribute
with respect to any quarter exceeds levels specified in our partnership agreement. Under the
quarterly incentive distribution provisions, our general partner is entitled to receive 13.3% of
any distributions in excess of $0.25 per unit, 23.5% of any distributions in excess of $0.28 per
unit, and 49% of any distributions in excess of $0.33 per unit, without duplication. The
likelihood and timing of the payment of any incentive distributions will depend on our ability to
increase the cash flow from our existing operations and to make cash flow accretive acquisitions.
In addition, our partnership agreement authorizes us to issue additional equity interests in our
partnership with such rights, powers and preferences (which may be senior to our common units) as
our general partner may determine in its sole discretion, including with respect to the right to
share in distributions and profits and losses of the partnership. We have not paid any incentive
distributions and do not expect to make incentive distributions during 2006.

We have reconciled Available Cash (a non-GAAP liquidity measure) to cash flow from operating
activities (the GAAP measure) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 below. For
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, cash flows provided by operating activities
were $8.3 million and $6.7 million respectively.
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
This quarterly report includes the financial measure of Available Cash, which measure often is
referred to as a non-GAAP measure because it is not contemplated by or referenced in accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S., also referred to as GAAP. The accompanying schedule
provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP
financial. Our non-GAAP financial measure should
-37-
GENESIS ENERGY, L.P.
MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
not be considered as an alternative to GAAP measures such as net income, operating income,
cash flow from operating activities or any other GAAP measure of liquidity or financial
performance. We believe that investors benefit from having access to the same financial measures
being utilized by management, lenders, analysts and other market participants.
Available Cash, also referred to as discretionary cash flow, is commonly used as a
supplemental financial measure by management and by external users of financial statements, such as
investors, commercial banks, research analysts and rating agencies, to assess: (1) the financial
performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structures or historical
cost basis; (2) the ability of our assets to generate cash sufficient to pay interest cost and
support our indebtedness; (3) our operating performance and return on capital as compared to those
of other companies in the midstream energy industry, without regard to financing and capital
structure; and (4) the viability of projects and the overall rates of return on alternative
investment opportunities. Because Available Cash excludes some, but not all, items that affect net
income or loss and because these measures may vary among other companies, the Available Cash data
presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may not be comparable to similarly titled measures
of other companies. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Available Cash is net cash
provided by operating activities.
Available Cash is a liquidity measure used by our management to compare cash flows generated
by us to the cash distribution paid to our limited partners and general partner. This is an
important financial measure to our public unitholders since it is an indicator of our ability to
provide a cash return on their investment. Specifically, this financial measure aids investors in
determining whether or not we are generating cash flows at a level that can support a quarterly
cash distribution to the partners. Lastly, Available Cash before Reserves (also referred to as
distributable cash flow) is the quantitative standard used throughout the investment community with
respect to publicly-traded partnerships.

Interest on our long-term debt is at market-based rates. Amount
shown for interest payments represents interest that would be paid if the debt
outstanding at September 30, 2006 remained outstanding through the maturity date of
our credit facility and market interest rates remained at the September 30, 2006
market levels through that date. Actual obligations may differ from the amounts
included above. |
|
(2) |
|
We invested $0.7 million in a potential investment project
through September 30, 2006, and have made a commitment to invest an additional $0.3
million within the next year. See additional discussion in the Other Projects
section of Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. |
|

|
The unconditional purchase obligations included above are
contracts to purchase crude oil, generally at market-based prices. For purposes of
this table, market prices at September 30, 2006, were used to value the
obligations. Actual obligations may differ from the amounts included above. |
In additional to the contractual cash obligations included above, we also have a
contingent obligation related to our acquisition of a 50% interest in Sandhill, which could require
us to pay an additional $2 million for our interest. See additional discussion in the section on
Sandhill in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
We have guaranteed 50% of the $4.7 million debt obligation to a bank of Sandhill; however, we
believe we are not likely to be required to perform under this guarantee as Sandhill is expected to
make all required payments under the debt obligation. See additional discussion in the section on
Sandhill in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements.
New and Proposed Accounting Pronouncements
See discussion of new accounting pronouncements in Note 2, New Accounting Pronouncements in
the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Forward Looking Statements
The statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that are not historical information may
be forward looking statements within the meaning of the various provisions of the Securities Act
of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than historical facts,
included in this document that address activities, events or developments that we expect or
anticipate will or may occur in the future, including things such as plans for growth of the
business, future capital expenditures, competitive strengths, goals, references to future goals or
intentions and other such references are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements are identified as any statement that does not relate strictly to historical or current
facts. They use words such as anticipate, believe, continue, estimate, expect,
forecast, intend, may, plan, position, projection, strategy or will or the negative
of those terms or other variations of them or by comparable

CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
terminology. In particular, statements, expressed or implied, concerning future actions,
conditions or events or future operating results or the ability to generate sales, income or cash
flow are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance.
They involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Future actions, conditions or events and
future results of operations may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking
statements. Many of the factors that will determine these results are beyond our ability or the
ability of our affiliates to control or predict. Specific factors that could cause actual results
to differ from those in the forward-looking statements include:
|
|
|
demand for, the supply of, changes in forecast data for, and price trends
related to crude oil, liquid petroleum, natural gas and natural gas liquids or NGLs in
the United States, all of which may be affected by economic activity, capital expenditures
by energy producers, weather, alternative energy sources, international events,
conservation and technological advances; |
|
|
|
|
throughput levels and rates; |
|
|
|
|
changes in, or challenges to, our tariff rates; |
|
|
|
|
our ability to successfully identify and consummate strategic acquisitions,
make cost saving changes in operations and integrate acquired assets or businesses into our
existing operations; |
|
|
|
|
service interruptions in our liquids transportation systems, natural gas
transportation systems or natural gas gathering and processing operations; |
|
|
|
|
shut-downs or cutbacks at refineries, petrochemical plants, utilities or other
businesses for which we transport crude oil, natural gas or other products or to whom we
sell such products; |
|
|
|
|
changes in laws or regulations to which we are subject; |
|
|
|
|
our inability to borrow or otherwise access funds needed for operations,
expansions or capital expenditures as a result of existing debt agreements that contain
restrictive financial covenants; |
|
|
|
|
loss of key personnel; |
|
|
|
|
the effects of competition, in particular, by other pipeline systems; |
|
|
|
|
hazards and operating risks that may not be covered fully by insurance; |
|
|
|
|
the condition of the capital markets in the United States; |
|
|
|
|
loss of key customers; |
|
|
|
|
the political and economic stability of the oil producing nations of the world; and |
|
|
|
|
general economic conditions, including rates of inflation and interest rates. |
You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. When considering
forward-looking statements, please review the risk factors described under Risk Factors discussed
in Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Except as
required by applicable securities laws, we do not intend to update these forward-looking statements
and information.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks primarily related to volatility in crude oil prices and
interest rates.
Our primary price risk relates to the effect of crude oil price fluctuations on our
inventories and the fluctuations each month in grade and location differentials and their effect on
future contractual commitments. We utilize NYMEX commodity based futures contracts and forward
contracts to hedge our exposure to these market price fluctuations as needed. At September 30,
2006, we had entered into NYMEX futures contracts that will settle through December 2006. These
contracts either do not qualify for hedge accounting or are fair value hedges, therefore the fair
value of these derivatives have received mark-to-market treatment in current earnings. This
accounting treatment is discussed further under Note 2 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
of our Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The table above presents notional amounts in barrels, the weighted average contract price,
total contract amount and total fair value amount in U.S. dollars. Fair values were determined by
using the notional amount in barrels multiplied by the September 30, 2006 quoted market prices on
the NYMEX.
We are also exposed to market risks due to the floating interest rates on our credit facility.
Our debt bears interest at the LIBOR or prime rate plus the applicable margin. We do not hedge
our interest rates. The average interest rate presented below is based upon rates in effect at
September 30, 2006. The carrying value of our debt in our credit facility approximates fair value
primarily because interest rates fluctuate with prevailing market rates, and the credit spread on
outstanding borrowings reflects market.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures and internal controls designed to ensure that
information required to be disclosed in our filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities
and Exchange Commissions rules and forms. Our chief executive officer and chief financial
officer, with the participation of our management, have evaluated our disclosure controls and
procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have
determined that such disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective in all material
respects in providing to them on a timely basis material information relating to us (including our
consolidated subsidiaries) required to be disclosed in this quarterly report.
There were no changes during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
