Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of World Point Terminals, LP

1) BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Organization

World Point Terminals, LP (the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership that was formed on April 19, 2013 by World Point Terminals, Inc. (our “Parent”) and WPT GP, LLC (the “General Partner”). On August 14, 2013, the Partnership completed its initial public offering (the “Offering” or the “IPO”) of 8,750,000 common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“Common Units”). The Partnership filed an initial registration statement and subsequent amendments with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on Form S-1. The amended registration statement was declared effective on August 8, 2013.On August 9, 2013, the Partnership’s Common Units began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “WPT.” On September 11, 2013, the Partnership completed the sale of 1,312,500 Common Units at $20.00 per Common Unit pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Common Units granted to them in the underwriting agreement dated August 8, 2013. “World Point Terminals, LP Predecessor” includes the assets, liabilities and results of operations of fourteen terminals and other assets located in the East Coast, Gulf Coast and Midwest, relating to the storage of light refined products, heavy refined products and crude oil, owned by our primary operating company, Center Point Terminal Company, LLC (“Center Point”), prior to its contribution to the Partnership in connection with the Offering. Unless otherwise stated or the context otherwise indicates, all references to “World Point Terminals, LP,” “the Partnership,” “Company”, “we,” “our,” “us,” or similar expressions for time periods prior to the Offering refer to World Point Terminals, LP Predecessor, “our Predecessor” for accounting purposes. For time periods subsequent to the Offering, these terms refer to the legal entity World Point Terminals, LP and its subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation

These unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared under the rules and regulations of the SEC and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP and should be read along with the Partnership’s 2013 audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Partnership’s financial statements as of September 30, 2014, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, are unaudited and have been prepared on the same basis as the annual consolidated financial statements. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements.

The 2013 financial statements utilize the consolidation method of accounting for the Newark joint venture. As such, 100% of the Newark terminal’s assets, liabilities and results of operations have been included in the Company’s statements. The noncontrolling 49% ownership interest has been recorded in the financial statements of the Company as a separate line item in shareholder’s equity. Effective August 14, 2013, the noncontrolling interest was eliminated when the 49% ownership interest was contributed to the Partnership by our Parent. Thereafter, the Newark terminal is wholly owned by the Partnership.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

In management’s opinion, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments consisting of normal recurring accruals necessary for the fair presentation of the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Information for interim periods may not be indicative of the Company’s operating results for the entire year.

2) INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

On August 9, 2013, the Partnership’s Common Units began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “WPT.” On August 14, 2013, World Point Terminals, LP closed its initial public offering of 8,750,000 Common Units at a price to the public of $20.00 per unit. On September 11, 2013, the Partnership completed the sale of 1,312,500 Common Units at a price to the public of $20.00 per unit.

Contribution Agreement

In connection with the closing of the Offering, the Partnership entered into a Contribution, Conveyance and Assumption Agreement with our parent, CPT 2010, LLC (“CPT 2010”), the General Partner and Center Point, whereby the following transactions, among others, occurred:

· CPT 2010 contributed, as a capital contribution, its interest in its Jacksonville and Weirton terminals to the Partnership in exchange for 4,878,250 Common Units;

· Our Parent contributed, as a capital contribution, its 32% interest in its Albany terminal and its 49% interest in its Newark terminal to the Partnership in exchange for 1,312,500 Common Units and the Partnership’s assumption of $14,100 of our parent’s debt;

· CPT 2010 contributed, as a capital contribution, a limited liability company interest in Center Point in exchange for (a) 6,423,007 Common Units, and (b) 16,485,507 subordinated units (the “Subordinated Units”) representing a 69.5% limited partner interest in the Partnership;

· the General Partner maintained its 0.0% non-economic general partner interest in the Partnership;

· the Partnership issued to our parent, Apex Oil Company, Inc. (“Apex”) and PAN Group, L.L.C., 20%, 20% and 60% of the Incentive Distribution Rights (“IDRs”) of the Partnership; and

· the public, through the underwriters, contributed $77,435 in cash (or $72,499, net of the underwriters’ discounts and commissions of $4,936) to the Partnership in exchange for the issuance of 3,871,750 Common Units by the Partnership.

The net proceeds from the Offering, including the underwriters’ option to purchase additional Common Units, of approximately $97,100, after deducting the underwriting discount and the structuring fee, were used to: (i) pay transaction expenses related to the Offering and our new credit facility in the amount of approximately $4,400, (ii) repay indebtedness owed to a commercial bank under a term loan of approximately $8,100, (iii) repay indebtedness owed to a related party of approximately $14,100, (iv) repay existing payables of approximately $4,300, (v) redeem 1,312,500 Common Units from our parent for approximately $24,600, (vi) distribute to CPT 2010 approximately $29,900, the majority of which is to reimburse CPT 2010 for costs related to the acquisition or improvement of assets that were contributed to us and (vii) provide the Partnership working capital of approximately $12,000. Because the gross proceeds from the exercise of the underwriter’s option to purchase additional Common Units were used to redeem the 1,312,500 Common Units held by our Parent, the net effect to the Partnership was a use of cash equal to the underwriting discount and the structuring fee of $1,700 associated with the exercise.

We incurred expenses related directly to the IPO of $3,606.  These costs consist primarily of legal, accounting, printing and other professional fees associated with the IPO.  We reported these amounts as a selling, general and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Revolving Credit Facility

On August 14, 2013, in connection with the closing of the Offering, Center Point entered into a $200,000 senior secured revolving credit facility with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Facility”), which has an initial maturity date of August 14, 2018. See Note 9 for additional details.

Terminaling Services Agreements

In connection with the Offering, Center Point entered into a terminaling services agreement with Apex (the “Apex Terminaling Services Agreement”), pursuant to which Apex agreed to store light refined products at seven of the Partnership’s terminals. Center Point also entered into a terminaling services agreement with Enjet, LLC (“Enjet”) (the “Enjet Terminaling Services Agreement” and together with the Apex Terminaling Service Agreements, the “Terminaling Services Agreements”), pursuant to which Enjet agreed to store residual oils at two of the Partnership’s terminals.

The initial term of the Terminaling Services Agreements with respect to each terminal is between one to five years and will automatically extend for successive twelve month periods, unless either party terminates upon no less than 120 days’ prior written notice.

Omnibus Agreement

In connection with the Offering, we entered into an omnibus agreement (the “Omnibus Agreement”) with the General Partner, our parent, CPT 2010, Apex and Center Point. This agreement addresses the following matters:

· a right of first offer to acquire Apex’s existing terminaling assets and any terminaling assets that Apex may acquire or construct in the future if it decides to sell them;

· a grant to us and our subsidiaries and the General Partner by our parent of a nontransferable, nonexclusive, royalty-free right and license to use the name “World Point Terminals” and related marks in connection with our business; and

· an indemnity by our parent and CPT 2010 for certain environmental and other liabilities, and our obligation to indemnify our parent and CPT 2010 for events and conditions associated with the operation of our assets that occur after the Offering and for environmental liabilities related to our assets to the extent our parent and CPT 2010 is not required to indemnify it.

3) EARNINGS PER UNIT AND CASH DISTRIBUTIONS

Earnings per unit applicable to limited partners (including subordinated unitholders) is computed by dividing limited partners’ interest in net income, after deducting amounts due pursuant to IDRs by the weighted-average number of outstanding Common and Subordinated units. Our net income is allocated to the limited partners in accordance with their respective ownership interests, after giving effect to priority income allocations, including incentive distributions, if any, to the holders of IDRs, pursuant to our partnership agreement. Earnings per unit is only calculated for the Partnership subsequent to the IPO as no units were outstanding prior to August 14, 2013. Earnings in excess of distributions are allocated to the limited partners based on their respective ownership interests. Payments made to our unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income allocations used in the calculation of earnings per unit. The weighted-average number of units outstanding was as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2014		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
Common Units		16,825,507		16,722,943
Subordinated Units		16,485,507		16,485,507

(Dollars in thousands, except per unit amounts)

(Unaudited)

In addition to the Common and Subordinated units, we have also identified the IDRs as participating securities and use the two-class method when calculating the earnings per unit applicable to limited partners, which is based on the weighted-average number of Common Units outstanding during the period. Basic and diluted earnings per unit applicable to limited partners are the same because we do not have any potentially dilutive units outstanding.

The calculation of earnings per unit is as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30, 2014						Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
	Common		Subordinated		Total		Common		Subordinated		Total
Net income attributable to unitholders	$	4,208	$	4,122	$	8,330	$	13,220	$	13,033	$	26,253
Less:

Net income attributable to unitholders	$	4,208	$	4,122	$	8,330	$	13,220	$	13,033	$	26,253
Weighted average limited partner units outstanding:
Common Units – Public		10,402,500						10,299,936
Common Units – Parent		6,423,007						6,423,007
Subordinated Units – CPT 2010				16,485,507						16,485,507
Earnings per unit	$	0.25	$	0.25			$	0.79	$	0.79

Cash Distributions

Our partnership agreement generally provides that we will make our distributions, if any, each quarter in the following manner:

· first, to all unitholders, pro rata, until each unitholder receives a total of $0.345  per unit for that quarter (the “first target distribution”);

· second, 85.0% to all unitholders, pro rata, and 15.0% to the holders of the IDRs, pro rata, until each unitholder receives a total of $0.375 per unit for that quarter (the “second target distribution”);

· third, 75.0% to all unitholders, pro rata, and 25.0% to the holders of the IDRs, pro rata, until each unitholder receives a total of $0.45 per unit for that quarter (the “third target distribution”); and

· thereafter, 50.0% to all unitholders, pro rata, and 50.0% to the holders of the IDRs, pro rata.

In each case, the amount of the target distribution set forth above is exclusive of any distributions to common unitholders to eliminate any cumulative arrearages in payment of the minimum quarterly distribution.

4) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Partnership’s financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, short-term investments, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, long-term debt (including current portion) and a derivative instrument.

The Partnership has exposure to counterparty credit risk, liquidity risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk with its financial assets and liabilities. The Partnership’s risk management program seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Partnership’s financial performance and ultimately shareholder value. The Partnership manages its risks and risk exposures through a combination of sound business practices, derivative instruments and a system of internal controls.

Credit Risk — Credit risk arises from cash held with banks, credit exposure to customers (including outstanding accounts receivable), and counterparty risk associated with certain of the Partnership’s short-term investments and its derivative instrument.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of bank balances. Credit risk associated with cash is minimized by ensuring that these financial assets are held at high quality financial institutions.

(Unaudited)

Accounts receivable consists primarily of trade accounts receivable from storage related revenues. The Partnership’s credit risk arises from the possibility that a counterparty which owes the Partnership money is unable or unwilling to meet its obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contracts with the Partnership, which would result in a financial loss for the Partnership. Credit risk associated with accounts receivable is minimized by the business model and collection policies of the Partnership. Most of the Partnership’s customers prepay their obligations at the beginning of each month and/or the Partnership has custody of customer assets at its facilities. The assets held by the Partnership belonging to its customers generally carry a market value well in excess of the accounts receivable balances due. The Partnership conducts business with a relatively few number of customers, including one affiliated customer that comprised approximately 37% of the Partnership’s first nine months 2014 revenues and 35% of the Partnership’s first nine months 2013 revenues, and another that comprised approximately 12% of the Partnership’s first nine months 2014 revenues and 11% of the Partnership’s first nine months 2013 revenues, under both short term and long term contracts. A large portion of the Partnership’s annual expenses are fixed and, accordingly, the Partnership’s ability to meet its ongoing obligations is dependent upon its ability to retain existing customers and/or attract new ones.

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable are reduced through the use of an allowance for doubtful accounts and the amount of the loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. The allowance for doubtful accounts is determined by specific customer balance analysis. When a receivable balance is considered uncollectable, it is written off against the allowance for accounts receivable. Subsequent recoveries of amounts previously written off reduce expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Historically trade credit losses have been minimal.

The Partnership’s derivative instrument was an interest rate swap that called for the exchange of interest payments/receipts on a monthly basis. The agreement was entered into with the financial institution which made the loan whose interest rate risk was being mitigated by the interest rate swap agreement. The Partnership’s derivative instrument matured April 2, 2013.

The Partnership has equity investments in marketable securities, including certain preferred and trust preferred stocks and debt securities. The Partnership seeks to mitigate risk of a financial loss by investing in what it considers to be high-quality instruments with quality counterparties.

5) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Partnership adopted the amendments to ASC Topic 820,Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for the consolidated financial statements. The amendments require the use of a fair value hierarchy in order to classify the fair value disclosures related to the Partnership’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are recognized in the balance sheets at fair value.

The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:

Level 1 — Values based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 — Values based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, or model based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. The Partnership does not currently have any instruments with fair value determined using Level 2 inputs.

Level 3 — Values are generated from model based techniques that use significant assumptions not observable in the market. Valuation techniques could include use of option pricing models, discounted cash flow models and similar techniques. The Partnership does not currently have any instruments with fair value determined using Level 3 inputs.

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety is determined on the basis of the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

(Unaudited)

The financial assets and financial liabilities measured at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

September 30, 2014	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Cash and cash equivalents	$	18,139	$	-	$	-	$	18,139
Short-term investments
Common stocks		983		-		-		983
Preferred stocks		4,703		-		-		4,703
Trust preferred stocks		329		-		-		329
Exchange traded debt securities		365		-		-		365
Total short-term investments		6,380		-		-		6,380
Total assets at fair value	$	24,519	$	-	$	-	$	24,519
December 31, 2013		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Cash and cash equivalents	$	31,207	$	-	$	-	$	31,207

For assets and liabilities that are measured using quoted prices in active markets, the total fair value is the published market price per unit multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Cash Equivalents — The carrying value of cash equivalents represents fair value as it is based on active market quotes available for these assets and is classified as Level 1.

Short-Term Investments— The Partnership’s short-term investments consist of common stocks, preferred stocks, trust preferred securities and exchange traded debt securities. The securities are valued using quoted prices from the various public markets. The securities trade on public exchanges, both domestic and foreign, and can be accurately described as active markets. The observable valuation inputs are unadjusted quoted prices that represent active market trades and are classified as Level 1.

As discussed above, the Partnership utilized information from third parties, such as pricing services and brokers, to assist in determining fair values for certain assets and liabilities, however, management is ultimately responsible for all fair values presented in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

6) ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL RECEIVABLES

The following table displays a roll forward of the allowance for doubtful trade receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2013:

9) DEBT

On April 8, 2008, Center Point amended and restated its May 3, 2006 loan agreement with the commercial bank and borrowed an additional $25,000 pursuant to a five-year term note which was subsequently extended to October 8, 2013 but was repaid in full on August 14, 2013. This note bore interest at a floating rate equal to the London Interbank Offered Rate plus seventy-seven hundredths of one percent (0.77%) and was amortized over a seven-year period. In order to manage its interest rate risk associated with this borrowing, Center Point entered into a pay-fixed receive floating interest rate swap agreement. The Partnership believes that the effect of this swap agreement was to effectively lock the interest rate on this borrowing at 4.17% through the expiration of the swap on April 2, 2013. Fixed monthly principal payments of $298 plus accrued interest were due under this borrowing until March 1, 2013 and interest only payments until the loan was paid in full on August 14, 2013. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had no amounts outstanding under this debt. These borrowings were secured by Center Point’s storage contracts and current assets. The terms of the term loan agreement and credit facility contain certain covenants and conditions including leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio and maximum capital expenditures. Center Point was in compliance with such covenants in 2013.

On August 14, 2013, in connection with the closing of the Offering, Center Point entered into a $200,000 senior secured revolving credit facility with The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders (the “Credit Facility”), which has an initial maturity date of August 14, 2018. The Credit Facility is available, subject to certain conditions, for working capital, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions and general partnership purposes, including distributions and unit repurchases. In addition, the Credit Facility includes a sublimit of up to $20,000 for swing line loans and permits the Partnership to enter into a pari passu credit facility for the provision of letters of credit in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $20,000 at any time. The Credit Facility also includes an accordion feature permitting increases in the commitments under the Credit Facility by an aggregate amount up to $100,000. Substantially all of the Partnership’s assets are pledged as collateral under the Credit Facility, and the Partnership and its other subsidiaries entered into guarantees of payment on behalf of Center Point for amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility. Center Point incurred costs of $910 associated with the Credit Facility which will be amortized over the five year term of the facility. Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. The terms of the Credit Facility contain certain covenants and conditions including an interest coverage ratio and a total leverage ratio. Center Point was in compliance with such covenants as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. In addition to interest associated with the borrowings, Center Point is obligated to pay a commitment fee calculated on the balance of the unused portion of the Credit Facility. There have not been any borrowings on the credit facility. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and year ended December 31, 2013, Center Point incurred commitment fees of $455 and $231 which have been recorded as interest expense. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, Center Point had future estimated minimum loan commitment fees of $2,355 and $2,810, respectively.

Interest expense on the term note and the Credit Facility, including amortization of prepaid loan fees, for the periods indicated was:

Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
2014		2013		2014		2013
$	202	$	106	$	612	$	255

10) ASSET RETIREMENT OBLIGATIONS

The Partnership has recorded a liability for the estimated costs of removing its terminal assets from those terminals located on leased land where the landowners have the right to require the Partnership to remove the assets. The recorded liability was $614 and $588 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which represents the present value of the estimated costs of removal. The maximum undiscounted liability is estimated to be $10,135. This amount was discounted utilizing the Partnership’s estimated, credit adjusted risk-free rate and further adjusted by probability factors based on management’s assessment of the likelihood of being required to demolish certain assets. Should the landowners exercise their rights to require the Partnership to remove the terminal assets, the cash outflows required to settle these obligations will occur on or around lease expiration dates ranging from July 13, 2034 to February 1, 2061.

11) SEGMENT REPORTING

The Partnership derives revenues from operating its sixteen liquid bulk storage and terminal facilities. The sixteen operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment because the facilities have similar long-term economic characteristics, products and types of customers.

12) EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

The Partnership offers a defined contribution savings plan. Under this plan, the Partnership matches the amount of employee contributions to specified limits. The Partnership’s employee benefit plan related expenses for the periods indicated were:

Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
2014		2013		2014		2013
$	42	$	67	$	112	$	168

13) INCOME TAXES

Our Parent has elected to be treated as a Subchapter S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code and to treat certain subsidiaries as qualified Subchapter S Subsidiaries. Under this election, an allocable portion of the Partnership’s taxable income flows through to the shareholders of our Parent. The shareholders generally will be responsible for the appropriate taxes due on the taxable income. Despite the Subchapter S election for Federal income tax purposes, our Predecessor continued to be treated as a C Corporation and pay corporate taxes in some state and local jurisdictions through June 29, 2013. Effective June 30, 2013, as a result of our Predecessor converting from a corporation to a limited liability company, and pursuant to ASC Topic 740, the Partnership reversed the net deferred tax liabilities that existed at June 29, 2013, as a decrease of the Partnership’s provision for income taxes.

The provision (benefit) for income taxes from operations consists of the following:

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Current	$	31	$	20	$	104	$	465
Deferred		-		-		-		(1,088	)
Total	$	31	$	20	$	104	$	(623	)

Through June 29, 2013, deferred state income taxes were recognized for future tax consequences of temporary differences between the consolidated financial statements carrying amounts and tax bases of assets and liabilities. The tax effects of temporary differences that give rise to significant portions of the deferred tax assets and liabilities were primarily related to depreciation of fixed assets.

The Partnership and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. and various states. With few exceptions, the Partnership is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income tax examinations by tax authorities for years before 2010. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Partnership did not have any unrecognized tax benefits recorded in the consolidated balance sheets.

16) CONTINGENCIES

The Partnership is subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Additionally, the Partnership has contingent liabilities with respect to other lawsuits and other potential matters arising in the ordinary course of business. In management’s opinion, the ultimate outcome of these contingencies will not have a material impact on the results of operations, cash flows or financial condition of the Partnership. As a result, the Partnership has not accrued for any loss contingencies in 2014 and 2013.

17) EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

Effective September 20, 2013, the Partnership’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “LTIP”) for providing long-term incentives to our employees, directors and consultants who provide services to us was adopted.  The plan is administered by the board of directors of our General Partner (the “Board of Directors”).  The Board of Directors has authority to: (i) designate participants; (ii) determine types of awards; (iii) determine number of units covered by the award; (iv) determine terms and conditions of awards; (v) determine how and when awards might be settled; and (vi) interpret and administer the plan and take other such actions as might be necessary for the proper administration of the plan.  The LTIP provides for the issuance of an aggregate of up to 3,000,000 Common Units to be granted either as options, restricted units, phantom units, distribution equivalent rights, unit appreciation rights, unit awards, profits interest units or other unit-based award granted under the plan.  As of September 30, 2014, we have granted awards totaling 340,000 restricted units that vest over three years subject to customary forfeiture provisions. Restricted units are included in the number of common units outstanding as presented on our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are entitled to cash distributions, which are nonforfeitable, on the same basis as the Common Units.

The following table summarizes awards granted during the post-IPO period of August 14, 2013 through September 30, 2014. There were no forfeitures during the post-IPO period. 

	Restricted  Units Awarded		Vested  Units		Fair Value at Award Date
September 24, 20131		90,000		-	$	20.21
April 23, 20142		250,000		-	$	23.20

¹Units awarded todirectors of General Partner and Parent

² Units awarded to an affiliate of the chairman of General Partner

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded non-cash compensation expense relating to equity-based compensation of $635 and $1,297, respectively.  As described above, the LTIP did not exist in periods prior to September 20, 2013.  As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Partnership had unrecognized compensation expense of $6,158 and $1,656, respectively.

18) TERMINAL ACQUISITIONS

In June 2014, the Partnership acquired two terminals in Mobile, Alabama that have a total shell capacity of 1,826,000.

The Chickasaw terminal has a total storage capacity of 644,000 barrels for the storage of asphalt, crude oil, and residual fuels. The terminal is served by ship, barge, truck and rail. The acquisition of the Chickasaw terminal qualifies as a business under the Business Combinations topic of the ASC. The total fair value of the Chickasaw terminal was $6,553 and was allocated to Property, plant and equipment. At acquisition, there were no other identifiable assets.

(Unaudited)

The Blakeley Island terminal has a total storage capacity of 1,182,000 barrels for the storage of crude oil, distillates and residual fuels. The terminal, while it does not currently have any customers, is served by ship and barge with the ability to add truck access. The total fair value of the Blakeley Island terminal was $7,191 and was allocated to Property, plant and equipment.

Pro forma information related to the acquisition is not presented because the impact of the acquisition on the Partnership's consolidated results of operations is not significant. The allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed was accounted for under the purchase method of accounting.  Assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction were recorded at their estimated acquisition date fair values, while transaction costs associated with the acquisition were expensed as incurred.  The Partnership’s allocation of the purchase price was based on an evaluation of the appropriate fair values and represents management’s best estimate based on available data.

In April 2013, Center Point completed the purchase of terminal assets adjacent to its Jacksonville, Florida terminal with a total capacity of 450,000 barrels for the storage of gasoline and distillates. The terminal is served by ship, barge, truck and rail. The total fair value of the acquired Jacksonville terminal assets was $23,024 and was allocated to Property, plant and equipment.

19) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On October 23, 2014 the Board of Directors declared a cash distribution of $0.30 per unit for the period from July 1, 2014 through September 30, 2014. The distribution is payable on November 14, 2014 to unitholders of record on November 4, 2014.

Overview of Business

We are a fee-based, growth-oriented Delaware limited partnership recently formed to own, operate, develop and acquire terminals and other assets relating to the storage of light refined products, heavy refined products and crude oil. Our storage terminals are strategically located in the East Coast, Gulf Coast and Midwest regions of the United States and, as of September 30, 2014, had a combined available storage capacity of 14.6 million barrels. During 2013, we completed construction of and placed into service 0.2 million barrels of available storage capacity at our Galveston facility, acquired an additional 0.9 million barrels of available storage capacity (Jacksonville and Albany) and acquired the 49% interest in the Newark terminal (0.5 million barrels), increasing our storage capacity by approximately 14%. In June 2014, we acquired two terminals in Mobile, Alabama (1.8 million barrels), increasing our storage capacity by an additional 14%. Most of our terminal facilities are strategically located on major waterways, providing ship or barge access for the movement of petroleum products, and have truck racks with efficient loading logistics. Several of our terminal facilities also have rail or pipeline access.

The following discussion analyzes our financial condition and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as well as historical condensed consolidated financial statements and notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Recent Developments

In June 2014, we entered the Mobile, Alabama market and acquired two terminals that increase our total capacity by over 1.8 million barrels. The Chickasaw terminal was purchased for $6.5 million and has a total storage capacity of 644,000 barrels for the storage of asphalt, crude oil and residual fuels. The terminal is served by ship, barge, truck and rail. Approximately 450,000 barrels are currently under contract. The Blakeley Island terminal was purchased for $7.2 million and has a total storage capacity of 1,182,000 barrels for the storage of crude oil, distillates and residual fuels. The terminal is currently served by ship and barge with the ability to add truck access. None of the tankage is currently under contract; however, we are making improvements to both terminals which we believe will help attract new customers.

How We Generate Revenues

We operate in a single reportable segment consisting primarily of the fee-based storage and terminaling services we perform under contracts with our customers. We generally do not take title to the products we store or handle on behalf of our customers. For the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, we generated approximately 82%, and 84%, respectively, of our revenue from storage services fees. Of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, 81% and 81%, respectively, consisted of base storage services fees, which are fixed monthly fees paid at the beginning of each month to reserve dedicated tanks or storage space and to compensate us for handling up to a base amount of product volume at our terminals. Our customers are required to pay these base storage services fees to us regardless of the actual storage capacity they use or the volume of products that we receive. Our customers also pay us excess storage fees for volumes handled in excess of the amount attributable to their base storage services fees. The remainder of our revenues were generated from (1) ancillary fees for services such as heating, mixing and blending products, transferring products between tanks, rail car loading and dock operations and (2) fees for injecting additives, some of which are mandated by federal, state and local regulations.

21

Refiners typically use our terminals because they prefer to subcontract terminaling and storage services or their facilities do not have adequate storage capacity, dock infrastructure or do not meet specialized handling requirements for a particular product. We also provide storage services to distributors, marketers and traders that require access to large, strategically located storage capacity in close proximity to demand markets, export markets, transportation infrastructure and refineries. Our combination of geographic location, efficient and well maintained storage assets and access to multiple modes of transportation gives us the flexibility to meet the evolving demands of our existing customers, as well as the demands of prospective customers seeking terminaling and storage services throughout our areas of operation.

On June 18, 2014, we acquired two terminals in Mobile, Alabama increasing our available storage capacity by 1.8 million barrels. A substantial portion of the acquired capacity is not under contract. As of September 30, 2014, approximately 85% of our total available storage capacity was under contract. During the five years ended December 31, 2013, more than 95% of our available storage capacity has been under contract, on average. While many of our contracts provide for a termination right after the expiration of the initial contract period, our long-standing relationships with our customers, including major integrated oil companies, have provided stable revenue. Our top ten customers (including Apex Oil Company, Inc. “Apex”), which represent approximately 79% of our revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2014, have used our services for an average of more than ten years.

Factors That Impact Our Business

The revenues generated by our storage business are generally driven by our aggregate storage capacity under contract, the commercial utilization of our terminal facilities in relation to their capacity and the prices we receive for our services, which in turn are driven by the demand for the products being shipped through or stored in our facilities. Though substantially all of our terminal service agreements require a customer to pay for tank capacity regardless of use, our revenues can be affected by (1) the length of the underlying service contracts and pricing changes and shifts in the products handled when the underlying storage capacity is recontracted, (2) fluctuations in product volumes to the extent revenues under the contracts are a function of the amount of product stored or transported, (3) changes in demand for additive services, (4) inflation adjustments in storage services contracts and (5) changes in the demand for ancillary services such as product heating, mixing or blending, transferring our customers’ products between our tanks, rail car loading and dock operations.

We believe key factors that influence our business are (1) the long-term demand for and supply of refined products and crude oil, (2) the indirect impact that changes in refined product and crude oil pricing has on terminal and storage demand and supply, (3) the needs of our customers together with the competitiveness of our service offerings with respect to location, price, reliability and flexibility and (4) our ability and the ability of our competitors to capitalize on growth opportunities and changing market dynamics.

Supply and Demand for Refined Products and Crude Oil

Our results of operations are dependent upon the volumes of refined products and crude oil we have contracted to handle and store and, to a lesser extent, on the actual volumes of refined products and crude oil we handle and store for our customers. An important factor in such contracting is the amount of production and demand for refined products and crude oil. The production of and demand for refined products and crude oil are driven by many factors, including the price for crude oil and general economic conditions. To the extent practicable and economically feasible, we generally attempt to mitigate the risk of reduced volumes and pricing by negotiating contracts with minimum payments based on available capacity and with multi-year terms. However, an increase or decrease in the demand for refined products and crude oil in the areas served by our terminals will have a corresponding effect on (1) the volumes we actually terminal and store and (2) the volumes we contract to terminal and store if we are not able to extend or replace our existing customer contracts.

22

Refined Product and Crude Oil Prices

Because we generally do not own the refined products or crude oil that we handle and do not engage in the trading of refined products or crude oil, we have minimal direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices. During 2013, one customer contract at our Chesapeake terminal provided for a base storage fee plus additional payments based on the customer’s profits from product sales. These additional payments represented approximately 1% of our revenue in 2013. Beginning January 1, 2014, the tankage at Chesapeake is contracted to Apex based on a significantly higher base storage services fee and no profit sharing. In addition, extended periods of depressed or elevated refined product and crude oil prices can lead producers to increase or decrease production of refined products and crude oil, which can impact supply and demand dynamics.

If the future prices of refined products and crude oil are substantially higher than the then-current prices, also called market contango, our customers’ demand for excess storage generally increases. If the future prices of refined products and crude oil are lower than the then-current prices, also called market backwardation, our customers’ demand for excess storage capacity generally decreases. We seek to mitigate the impact of near-term commodity market price dynamics by generally entering into long-term agreements with our customers that have significant base storage services fee components. However, the market has experienced long periods of contango and backwardation that can impact the demand for and supply of refined product and crude oil terminaling and storage services.

Customers and Competition

We provide storage and terminaling services for a broad mix of customers, including major integrated oil companies, marketers, distributors and chemical and petrochemical companies. In general, the mix of services we provide to our customers varies depending on market conditions, expectations for future market conditions and the overall competitiveness of our service offerings. The terminaling and storage markets in which we operate are very competitive, and we compete with operators of other terminaling facilities on the basis of rates, terms of service, types of service, supply and market access and flexibility and reliability of service. In addition, we also compete with major integrated oil companies, many of whom are also our customers, that own terminals. We continuously monitor the competitive environment, the evolving needs of our customers, current and forecasted market conditions and the competitiveness of our service offerings in order to maintain the proper balance between optimizing near-term earnings and cash flow and positioning the business for sustainable long term growth. Because of the significant investments we have made in maintaining high quality assets and because terminaling and storage are our core business, we believe that we can be more flexible and responsive to the needs of our customers than many of our competitors.

Organic Growth Opportunities

Regional refined products and crude oil supply and demand dynamics shift over time, which can lead to rapid and significant increases in demand for terminaling and storage services. At such times, we believe the terminaling companies that have positioned themselves for organic growth will be at a competitive advantage in capitalizing on the shifting market dynamics. Where feasible, we have designed the infrastructure at our terminals to facilitate future expansion, which we expect to both reduce our overall capital costs per additional barrel of storage capacity and shorten the duration and enhance the predictability of development timelines. Some of the specific infrastructure investments we have made that will facilitate incremental expansion include dock capacity capable of handling various products and easily expandable piping and manifolds to handle additional storage capacity. Our Galveston terminal has over fifty acres of available land that will allow us to greatly increase our storage capacity should market conditions warrant. Accordingly, we believe that we are well positioned to grow organically in response to changing market conditions.

23

Factors Impacting the Comparability of Our Financial Results

Our future results of operations may not be comparable to our historical results of operations for the following reasons:

· We incur additional costs as a result of being a publicly traded partnership, including external selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $3.0 million annually. Please read “—Overview of Our Results of Operations—Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.”

· Our 2013 consolidated financial statements include state income tax expenses associated with certain corporate operating subsidiaries. Due to our status as a partnership, these subsidiaries are no longer in corporate form and will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax and certain state income taxes in the future.

· Our 2013 consolidated financial statements do not include equity earnings from our Cenex joint venture with Apex. The results of operations of the Albany terminal, in which we acquired a 32% interest in August 2013, are represented as equity earnings of the joint venture in our consolidated financial statements.

· Our 2013 consolidated financial statements do not include compensation expense related to our Long Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). Awards pursuant to the LTIP will result in compensation expense being recorded over the restriction period, if any, associated with the awards.

Overview of Our Results of Operations

Our management uses a variety of financial measurements to analyze our performance, including the following key measures:

• revenues derived from (i) storage services fees, including excess storage services fees, (ii) ancillary services and (iii) additive services; and

• our operating and selling, general and administrative expenses.

We do not utilize depreciation and amortization expense in our key measures because we focus our performance management on cash flow generation and our assets have long useful lives. In our period to period comparisons of our revenues and expenses set forth below, we analyze the following revenue and expense components:

Revenues

We characterize our revenues into three different types, as follows:

Storage Services Fees. Our customers pay base storage services fees, which are fixed monthly fees paid at the beginning of each month to reserve storage capacity in our tanks and to compensate us for receiving up to a base product volume on their behalf. Our customers are required to pay these base storage services fees to us regardless of the actual storage capacity they use or the amount of product that we receive. Our customers also pay us additional fees when we handle product volume on their behalf that exceeds the volume contemplated in their monthly base storage services fee.

Ancillary Services Fees. We charge ancillary services fees to our customers for providing services such as (i) heating, mixing and blending our customers’ products that are stored in our tanks, (ii) transferring our customers’ products between our tanks, (iii) at our Granite City terminal, adding polymer to liquid asphalt and (iv) rail car loading and dock operations. The revenues we generate from ancillary services fees vary based upon the activity levels of our customers.

24

Additive Services Fees. We generate revenue from fees for injecting generic gasoline, proprietary gasoline, lubricity, red dye and cold flow additives to our customers’ products. Certain of these additives are mandated by applicable federal, state and local regulations for all light refined products, and other additives, such as cold flow additive, are required to meet customer specifications. The revenues we generate from additive services fees vary based upon the activity levels of our customers.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses are comprised primarily of labor expenses, utility costs, insurance premiums, repairs and maintenance expenses, environmental compliance and property taxes. A large portion of these operating expenses are fixed, but can fluctuate from period to period depending on the mix of activities performed during that period and the timing of these expenses. We seek to manage our maintenance expenses by scheduling maintenance over time to avoid significant variability in our maintenance expenses and minimize their impact on our cash flow.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include costs not directly attributable to the operations of our facilities and include costs such as professional services, compensation of non-operating personnel and expenses of the overall administration of the Partnership. We incur additional personnel and related costs and incremental external general and administrative expenses of approximately $3.0 million annually as a result of being a publicly traded partnership, consisting of costs associated with SEC reporting requirements, tax return and Schedule K-1 preparation and distribution, registered independent auditor fees, investor relations activities, Sarbanes-Oxley Act compliance, stock exchange listing, registrar and transfer agent fees, incremental director and officer liability insurance and director compensation. These additional personnel and related costs and incremental external selling, general and administrative expenses are not reflected in our historical financial statements.

· Base storage services fees. Base storage services fees for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased $1.7 million or 10% from the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily as a result of the addition of tanks at the Baton Rouge terminal that were unutilized for a portion of 2013, increased base storage rates at the Chesapeake terminal and the addition of the Chickasaw terminal.

· Excess storage services fees. Excess storage services fees for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $0.2 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013, primarily as a result of decreased throughput at the Jacksonville and Newark terminals.

Ancillary and Additive Services Fees. Ancillary and additive services for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased $0.1 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased $1.1 million or 18% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. This increase was primarily attributable to a (i) $0.4 million increase in labor costs due to the acquisition of the Chickasaw and Blakeley terminals and normal wage increases, (ii) $0.2 million increase in utilities, (iii) $0.5 million increase in property taxes, and (iv) $0.2 million increase in insurance and other expenses offset by a $0.2 million decrease in repairs and maintenance.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $1.6 million, or 51%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of a decrease in costs associated with the Offering offset by costs incurred in connection with operating as a public company, including unit based compensation expense of $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased $0.8 million, or 17%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. This increase is primarily due to (i) 2014 capital expenditures and (ii) the acquisition of two terminals in Mobile, Alabama in the second quarter of 2014.

27

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased $0.1 million as a result of an increase in commitment fees and amortization of loan fees on our revolving credit agreement partially offset by a decrease in interest on the term loan that was repaid in the third quarter of 2013 in connection with our initial public offering.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased slightly compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013. This increase was attributable to higher amounts of short-term investments held during the third quarter of 2014.

Gain (Loss) on Investments and Other—Net. Gain (loss) on investments for the three months ended September 30, 2014 increased $0.5 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2013.

Revenues. Revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased $6.9 million, or 11%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Storage Services Fees.Storage services fees increased $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

· Base storage services fees. Base storage services fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased $5.4 million or 11% from the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily as a result of additional contracted capacity at the Galveston terminal, the addition of tanks at the Baton Rouge terminal that were unutilized for a portion of 2013, increased base storage rates at the Chesapeake terminal and the addition of the Chickasaw terminal in the second quarter of 2014.

· Excess storage services fees. Excess storage services fees for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $0.6 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily as a result of decreased throughput at the Jacksonville terminal and decreased payments related to profit sharing at the Chesapeake terminal in 2014.

Ancillary and Additive Services Fees. Ancillary and additive services for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased $1.9 million or 20% compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily as a result of increased activity at 12 of our 16 terminals, including heat applied to customers’ products.

Operating Expenses. Operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased $1.2 million, or 6%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This increase was primarily attributable to a (i) $1.3 million increase in labor costs due to the expanded operations at the Jacksonville terminal, the acquisition of the Chickasaw and Blakeley terminals and normal wage increases, (ii) $0.7 million increase in utility costs due to the higher level of heat applied to customers’ products, (iii) $0.2 million increase in insurance premiums and (iv) $0.6 million increase in property taxes offset by a $0.7 million decrease in repairs and maintenance and a $0.9 million decrease in other operating expenses, primarily in connection with expenses incurred in 2013 related to Hurricane Sandy at our Newark terminal.

28

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $0.3 million, or 5%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as a result of a decrease in costs associated with the Offering offset by costs incurred in connection with operating as a public company, including unit based compensation expense of $1.3 million for 2014.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased $2.2 million, or 17%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This increase is primarily due to (i) capital expenditures during the first and second quarters of 2014, (ii) assets under construction which were placed in service in the second quarter of 2013 at the Weirton and Galveston terminals, (iii) the acquisition of additional terminal assets adjacent to the Jacksonville terminal in the second quarter of 2013 and (iv) the acquisition of two terminals in Mobile, Alabama in the second quarter of 2014.

Interest Expense. Interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased $0.4 million. Commitment fees and amortization of loan fees on the revolver for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 were $0.6 million compared to $0.1 million for the post IPO period in 2013. Interest expense on the term loan was $0.1 million for the 2013 pre IPO period. There was no interest expense on the term loan in 2014.

Interest and Dividend Income. Interest and dividend income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased slightly compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was attributable to higher amounts of short-term investments during the first seven months of 2013.

Gain (Loss) on Investments and Other—Net. Gain (loss) on investments for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased slightly compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The decrease was primarily attributable to a larger mark-to-market gain on investments recorded at September 30, 2013.

Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased $0.7 million compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2013 primarily relating to the reversal of deferred income taxes in the second quarter of 2013 which resulted in an income tax benefit for the period.

Net Income. Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased $2.8 million, or 12%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure. In addition to the GAAP results provided in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we provide a non-GAAP financial measure, Adjusted EBITDA. A reconciliation from GAAP to the non-GAAP measurement is provided below. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before net interest expense, income tax expense and depreciation and amortization expense, as further adjusted to remove gain or loss on investments and on the disposition of assets and non-recurring items, such as the IPO expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that management and external users of our consolidated financial statements, such as industry analysts, investors, lenders and rating agencies, may use to assess:

· our operating performance as compared to other publicly traded partnerships in the midstream energy industry, without regard to historical cost basis or financing methods;

· the ability of our assets to generate sufficient cash flow to make distributions to our unitholders;

· our ability to incur and service debt and fund capital expenditures; and

· the viability of acquisitions and other capital expenditure projects and the returns on investment in various opportunities.

29

We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA will provide useful information to investors in assessing our financial condition and results of operations. The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Adjusted EBITDA is net income. Our non-GAAP financial measure of Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income. Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool because it excludes some but not all items that affect net income. You should not consider Adjusted EBITDA in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Because Adjusted EBITDA may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definitions of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies, thereby diminishing its utility.

The following table presents a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure for each of the periods indicated.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our principal liquidity requirements are to finance current operations, fund capital expenditures, including acquisitions from time to time, and to service our debt. Our sources of liquidity include cash generated by our operations, borrowings under our revolving credit facility and issuances of equity and debt securities. We believe that cash generated from these sources will be sufficient to meet our short-term working capital requirements and long-term capital expenditure requirements.

Revolving Credit Facility

In connection with our initial public offering on August 14, 2013, we repaid our existing term loan and entered into a $200 million senior secured revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility is available to fund working capital and to finance acquisitions and other capital expenditures. Our obligations under the revolving credit facility are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin. LIBOR and the applicable margin are defined in our revolving credit facility. The unused portion of the revolving credit facility is subject to an annual commitment fee.

The revolving credit facility contains covenants and conditions that, among other things, limit our ability to make cash distributions, incur indebtedness, create liens, make investments and enter into a merger or sale of substantially all of our assets. We are also subject to certain financial covenants, including a consolidated leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio, and customary events of default under the revolving credit facility. We were in compliance with such covenants as of September 30, 2014.

Capital Expenditures

The terminaling and storage business is capital-intensive, requiring significant investment for the maintenance of existing assets and the acquisition or development of new systems and facilities. We categorize our capital expenditures as either:

• maintenance capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures (including expenditures for the construction or development of new capital assets or the replacement, improvement or expansion of existing capital assets) made to maintain our long-term operating capacity or operating income; or

• expansion capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures incurred for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our operating capacity or operating income over the long term.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, our capital expenditures were $21.1 million. Our capital spending program is focused on expanding our existing terminals where sufficient demand exists for our services and maintaining our facilities. Capital expenditure plans are generally evaluated based on regulatory requirements, return on investment and estimated incremental cash flow. We develop annual capital spending plans based on historical trends for maintenance capital, plus identified projects for expansion, technology and revenue-generating capital. In addition to the annually recurring capital expenditures, potential acquisition opportunities are evaluated based on their anticipated return on invested capital, accretive impact to operating results, and strategic fit.

Our capital expenditures for the periods indicated were as follows:

	For the Three Months Ended September 30,				For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
	(in thousands)
Maintenance capital expenditures	$	1,917	$	823	$	4,468	$	3,793
Expansion capital expenditures		191		4,091		16,655		29,701
Total	$	2,108	$	4,914	$	21,123	$	33,494

Of the $16.7 million of expansion capital expenditures during the first nine months of 2014, $13.7 million related to the acquisition of two terminals in Mobile, Alabama, $0.8 million related to expanding the truck bay and connection of the expanded Jacksonville facility, $1.1 million was used to construct additional tanks at our terminals, $0.7 million was used to modify terminal assets in order to have the ability to accept additional products from customers and $0.4 million was used to increase unloading capacity at the Weirton terminal.

We anticipate that these maintenance capital expenditures will be funded primarily with cash from operations. We expect that we will utilize external financing sources, including borrowings under our revolving credit facility and the issuance of debt and equity securities, in addition to cash from operations to fund some of our future expansion capital expenditures.

Cash Flows

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 Compared to Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, investing activities and financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

	Nine Months Ended  September 30,
	2014			2013
	(in thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	44,280		$	36,305
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(27,443	)	$	(33,592	)
Net cash (used in) / provided by financing activities	$	(29,905	)	$	16,306

Cash Flows From Operating Activities. Net cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased $8.0 million, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. The increase was primarily attributable to a (i) $2.8 million increase in net income, (ii) $2.3 million increase in non-cash items, (iii) $2.2 million increase in depreciation and (iv) $0.7 million increase in cash provided by working capital.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities. Net cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $6.1 million, or 18%, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower capital expenditures of $3.1 million and lower terminal acquisitions of $9.2 million offset by higher investment activity of $6.2 million.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities. Cash flows from financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased $46.2 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013. This decrease was attributable to proceeds received from the offering and advances from affiliates in 2013 partially offset by distributions to unitholders/shareholders.

Contractual Obligations

We have contractual obligations that are required to be settled in cash. Our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2014 were as follows:

	Payments Due by Period
	(in thousands)
	Total		Less than 1 year		1-3 years		4-5 years		More than 5 years
Loan commitment fee	$	2,355	$	608	$	1,218	$	529		-
Operating lease obligations		1,542		92		535		506		409
Total	$	3,897	$	700	$	1,753	$	1,035	$	409

Future Trends and Outlook

We expect that certain trends and economic or industry-wide factors will continue to affect our business, both in the short and long term. We have based our expectations described below on assumptions made by us and on the basis of information currently available to us. To the extent our underlying assumptions about or interpretation of available information prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from our expected results. Please read “Risk Factors” for additional information about the risks associated with purchasing our common units.

Existing Base Storage Contracts

Some of our terminal services agreements currently in effect are operating in the automatic renewal phase of the contract that begins upon the expiration of the primary contract term. While a significant portion of our tankage may only be subject to a one year commitment, historically these customers have continued to renew or expand their business. Our top ten customers have used our services for an average of more than ten years.

The following table details the base storage services fees expected to be generated over the next five years ending December 31, 2018 based on remaining contract terms at September 30, 2014 excluding any consumer price index adjustments.

Year ending December 31,	Expected Revenue under Base Storage Contracts
	(in thousands)
2014	$	69,283
2015		47,227
2016		26,863
2017		19,494
2018 and beyond		8,920

Supply of Storage Capacity

An important factor in determining the value of storage capacity and therefore the rates we are able to charge for new contracts or contract renewals is whether a surplus or shortfall of storage capacity exists relative to the overall demand for storage services in a given market area. We monitor local developments around each of our facilities closely. We believe that significant barriers to entry exist in the refined product and crude oil terminaling and storage business. These barriers include significant costs and execution risk, a lengthy permitting and development cycle, shortage of personnel with the requisite expertise and the finite number of sites that are suitable for development.

33

Entry of Competitors into the Markets in Which We Operate

The competitiveness of our service offerings could be significantly impacted by the entry of new competitors into the markets in which our terminals operate. We believe, however, that significant barriers to entry exist in the refined products and crude oil terminaling and storage business, particularly for marine terminals. These barriers include significant costs and execution risk, a lengthy permitting and development cycle, such as environmental permitting, financing challenges, shortage of personnel with the requisite expertise and the finite number of sites with comparable connectivity suitable for development.

Economic Conditions

The condition of credit markets may adversely affect our liquidity. In the recent past, world financial markets experienced a severe reduction in the availability of credit. Although we were not substantially impacted by this situation because of the long-term nature of our customer contracts, possible negative impacts in the future could include a decrease in the availability of credit. In addition, we could experience a tightening of trade credit from our suppliers and our customers’ businesses may be effected by their access to credit.

Growth Opportunities

We expect to expand the storage capacity at our current terminal facilities over the near and medium term. In addition, we will selectively pursue strategic asset acquisitions from Apex and third parties that complement our existing asset base or provide attractive potential returns in new areas within our geographic footprint. Our long-term strategy includes operating fee-based, qualifying income producing infrastructure assets throughout North America. Recent evidence of this strategy includes our June 2014 acquisition of two terminals that marked our entry into the Mobile, Alabama market. We believe that we will be well positioned to acquire assets from third parties should such opportunities arise, and identifying and executing acquisitions will be a key part of our strategy. However, if we do not make acquisitions on economically acceptable terms, our future growth will be limited, and it is possible that any acquisitions we do make will reduce, rather than increase, our cash available for distribution per unit.

Demand for Refined Products and Crude Oil

In the near-term, we expect demand for refined products and crude oil to remain stable. Even if demand for refined products and crude oil decreases sharply, however, our historical experience during recessionary periods has been that our results of operations are not materially impacted in the near term. We believe this is because of several factors, including: (i) we mitigate the risk of reduced volumes and pricing by negotiating contracts with minimum payments based on available capacity and with multi-year terms, and (ii) sharp decreases in demand for refined products and crude oil generally increase the short and medium-term need for storage of those products, as customers search for buyers at appropriate prices. While the recent decline in the prices of crude oil and petroleum prices may affect demand for those products and related demand for storage capacity, we believe it is too soon to draw an conclusions as to what effect there may be on our business.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

As of September 30, 2014, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates disclosed in Partnership’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. We do not take title to the crude oil, refined petroleum products and other products we handle and store, and therefore, we do not have direct exposure to risks associated with fluctuating commodity prices. In addition, our terminal services agreements with our storage customers are generally indexed to inflation and may contain fuel surcharge provisions designed to substantially mitigate our exposure to increases in fuel prices and the cost of other supplies used in our business.

At September 30, 2014, we did not have any borrowing under our revolving credit facility, which carries a variable rate. We may use certain derivative instruments to hedge our exposure to variable interest rates in the future, but we do not currently have in place any risk management contracts.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of management of our general partner, including the general partner’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, an evaluation of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), was conducted as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, management of our general partner concluded that the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the period covered by this report were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or were reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

We are not a party to, nor is any of our property subject to, any material pending legal proceedings, other than ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business. However, from time to time, we may be a party to, or a target of, lawsuits, claims, investigations, and proceedings, including product liability, personal injury, asbestos, patent and intellectual property, commercial, contract, environmental, antitrust, health and safety, and employment matters, which we expect to be handled and defended in the ordinary course of business. While we are unable to predict the outcome of any matters currently pending, we do not believe that the ultimate resolution of any such pending matters will have a material adverse effect on our overall financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks set forth in Part 1, Item, 1A, “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. There has been no material change in our risk factors from those described in the Annual Report. These risks are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.
