Mars Oil Pipeline Company
(A general partnership)
Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. | Organization and Business |
Mars Oil Pipeline Company (“we,” “us,” “our,” the “Partnership”) is a Texas general partnership formed in 1996 which owns and operates a pipeline system for the transportation of crude oil from Mississippi Canyon Block 807 in the Gulf of Mexico, offshore Louisiana, to Clovelly, Louisiana. The pipeline system is regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”), where applicable, and tariff rates are calculated in accordance with guidelines established by the FERC.
The Partnership is owned by Shell Pipeline Company LP (“Shell Pipeline”), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Shell Oil Company (“Shell Oil”), and BP Offshore Pipelines, Inc. (“BP”), (the “Partners”.) Each partner contributed cash and certain pipeline related assets. In accordance with the partnership agreement (the “Partnership Agreement”), the historical relative sharing ratios between the Partners for all revenues, costs and expenses were 71.5% to Shell Pipeline and 28.5% to BP.
2. | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
The accounting policies are set forth in Note 2 of the Notes to Financial Statements in our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2013. There have been no significant changes to these policies during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Certain reclassifications have been made to the previous year to conform to the 2014 presentation. The unaudited financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 include all adjustments management believes is necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods and are of a normal recurring nature. Operating results for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 2014. The year-end condensed Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP. These unaudited condensed financial statements and other information included in this interim report should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Revision to the 2013 Financial Statements
The Partnership has revised the accompanying condensed Balance Sheet for the year ended December 31, 2013. Subsequent to December 31, 2013 the Partnership identified (1) errors in the Partnership’s process for appropriately classifying third and related party revenues, (2) errors in accrual cutoff periods for Revenues and Allowance Oil gains and losses and (3) misclassification of assets between Property, Plant and Equipment and Other Assets. The errors resulted in an understatement of net income for the year ending December 31, 2013 of $607,344 which is reflected as an adjustment to the 2013 Partners’ Capital balance as of December 31, 2013 in the accompanying condensed Balance Sheet. The Partnership has evaluated the errors detailed above, individually and in aggregate, and concluded that the errors were not material to the previously issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013. The accompanying Statements of Income, Changes in Partners’ Capital and Cash Flows are presented for the first time and appropriately reflect the impact of the above errors. The schedule below provides a summary of the impact of these adjustments on the Partnership’s condensed Balance Sheet.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the FASB issued accounting standards updates to Topic 205, “Presentation of Financial Statements” and to Topic 360, “Property, Plant, and Equipment” to change the criteria for reporting discontinued operations. This accounting standard update raises the threshold for a disposal transaction to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires additional disclosures about discontinued operations and disposals of individually significant components that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The adoption of this guidance, effective January 1, 2015, will not affect the financial position or results of operations of the Partnership; however, it may result in changes to the manner in which future dispositions of operations or assets, if any, are presented in the financial statements, or it may require additional disclosures.
In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board issued a new accounting standard, Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” to clarify the principles for recognizing revenue. The core principle of the new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods and services. The standard also requires improved interim and annual disclosures that enable the users of financial statements to better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The accounting standards update was to be effective on a retrospective or modified retrospective basis for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, with no early adoption permitted. However, in April 2015, the FASB proposed to defer the effective date to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. In July 2015, the FASB affirmed its proposal to defer the effective date by one year. The FASB also decided to permit early adoption, but not before the original public entity effective date of December 15, 2016. Management is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this new standard will have on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In August 2014, the FASB issued accounting standards update, Subtopic 205-40, “Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern,” requiring management to evaluate whether events or conditions could impact an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued) and to provide disclosures if necessary. Disclosures will be required if conditions give rise to substantial doubt and the type of disclosure will be determined based on whether management’s plans will be able to alleviate the substantial doubt. The accounting standards update will be effective for the first annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter with early application permitted. The adoption of this guidance is not expected to affect the financial position or results of operations of the Partnership.

In January 2015, the FASB issued accounting standards update, Subtopic 225-20, “Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items.” The adoption of this guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this guidance will not affect the current financial position or results of operations of the Partnership.
In June 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update, “Technical Corrections and Improvements,” which covers a wide range of topics in the codification. The amendments in this update represent changes to clarify the codification, correct unintended application of guidance, or make minor improvements to the codification that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost on most entities. The Partnership does not anticipate that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements and footnote disclosures.

In 2009, the Partnership began construction of the Olympus pipeline, which transports crude oil from a region in the Gulf of Mexico adjacent to the region that the Mars pipeline services. In 2014, excess pipe associated with the project, with an original cost of $2,084,966, was sold at auction for $477,178. As a result, the Partnership recognized a loss of $1,607,788 included under the “Other expense (income)” heading in the accompanying condensed Statement of Income for the period ended September 30, 2014.
The Partnership paid $5,921,228 during 2004 to replace a Brine pipeline owned by a related party. The Partnership was contractually obligated to make capital improvements to the asset as part of the

terms of the operating agreement. The costs associated with the Brine String Project were capitalized and were being amortized over an estimated useful life of 15 years. In February 2015, it was determined the improvements had no future economic useful life as of September 30, 2014 and the remaining $1,973,743 of costs were written off as of September 30, 2014 and is included in Depreciation and amortization within the condensed accompanying Statements of Income.

Payments made by Shell Pipeline related to the Olympus Project in 2014 and 2013 were $2,083,911 and $13,847,164 for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. With the completion of the Olympus project in 2013, the amounts paid by Shell Pipeline related to the Olympus project decreased significantly in 2014.
Substantially all expenses incurred by the Partnership are paid by Shell Pipeline on the Partnership’s behalf. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Partnership owed $504,720 and $3,590,097 respectively, to reimburse Shell Pipeline for these expenses.

6. | Commitments and Contingencies |
In the ordinary course of business, the Partnership is subject to various laws and regulations, including regulations of the FERC. In the opinion of management, compliance with existing laws and regulations will not materially affect the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Partnership. We are subject to several lease agreements which are accounted for as operating leases and the minimum lease payments over the next five years are disclosed in our annual financial statements.
In preparing the accompanying financial statements, we have reviewed events that have occurred after September 30 2014, up until July 16, 2015, the date the financial statements were issued.
On November 3, 2014, Shell Midstream Partners, L.P. (“SMP”) completed an initial public offering of 46,000,000 common units. In connection with this offering and pursuant to the Contribution, Assumption, and Assignment Agreement (“Contribution Agreement”), Shell Pipeline contributed 40% of its 71.5% interest in the Partnership to SMP, which resulted in SMP holding a 28.6% ownership interest in the Partnership. As a result of this contribution, Shell Pipeline owns a 42.9% interest in the Partnership. BP’s 28.5% ownership interest in the Partnership was unaffected by the Contribution Agreement. SMP and Shell Pipeline are considered one party in establishing voting rights in accordance with amendments to the Partnership Agreement.
