1     ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The Supply and Transportation business is involved in the pipeline
      transport of crude oil and condensates, including associated services of
      trucking and terminalling, and marketing of crude oil in Western Canada.

      The accompanying financial statements present, in conformity with
      accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America
      the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses related to the historical
      operations of the Canadian supply and transportation ("S&T") business of
      the Murphy Oil Company Ltd. ("Murphy"). These financial statements should
      be read in conjunction with the Murphy S&T financial statements for the
      year ended December 31, 2000. The interim financial statements as of March
      31, 2001 and for the three months ended March 31, 2001 is unaudited;
      however, in the opinion of the S&T Business, the interim statements
      includes all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
      necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period.

      The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from Murphy's
      historical accounting records and are presented on a carve-out basis to
      include the historical operations applicable to the S&T business. All
      assets and liabilities specifically identified with the S&T business have
      been presented in the balance sheet. The owner's net investment ("Owner's
      net investment") in the S&T business has been presented in lieu of
      stockholder's equity in the financial statements. The financial
      information included herein includes certain allocations based on
      historical activity levels to reflect the financial statements in
      accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and may not
      necessarily reflect the financial position or results of operations of the
      S&T business in the future or had it existed as a separate, stand-alone
      business during the period presented. The allocations consist of general
      and administrative expenses incurred on behalf of the S&T business by
      Murphy. This allocation has been made on a reasonable basis. No amount in
      respect of interest has been allocated to this business.

2     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      PURCHASE AND SALES AGREEMENTS

      The S&T business has entered into evergreen purchase and sales agreements,
      cancellable with thirty days notice, for crude oil and condensates. At
      March 31, 2001, the S&T business had evergreen contracts for purchases of
      427,000 m3 and sales of 304,000 m3 of crude oil and condensates at market
      related prices.

      ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

      The parent, Murphy is liable for the reclamation costs associated with a
      condensate spill on the Dulwich pipeline. The amount of reclamation costs
      is dependent upon the method selected under current environmental laws but
      has been estimated by management to be in the range of $67,000 to
      $1,901,000. An accrual for these clean up costs has not been provided for
      in these financial statements.



3     SEGMENT INFORMATION

      The S&T division's reportable segments are organized into three major
      types of business activities all operating within one geographic area,
      Western Canada. The pipeline segment derives tariff revenue primarily from
      the transportation of crude oil, the crude oil trading segment derives
      revenue from the purchase and sale of crude oil and the trucking segment
      derives revenue from the use of tractor trailers in hauling petroleum
      products and water. Information about business segments is reported on the
      following tables. Corporate and other activities are shown in the tables
      to reconcile the business segments to the financial statement totals.

4     SUBSEQUENT EVENT

      In May 2001, substantially all of the crude oil pipeline, gathering,
      storage and terminalling assets of Murphy were acquired by Plains All
      American Pipelines, L.P. ("PAA") for approximately $161.0 million in cash.
      The purchase price included $6.5 million for excess inventory in the
      systems. The principle assets acquired include four pipeline systems
      covering 275 miles, approximately 1.1 million barrels of crude oil storage
      and terminalling capacity located primarily in Kerrobert, Saskatchewan,
      approximately 200,000 barrels of linefill and 121 trailers used primarily
      for crude oil transportation.

      PAA has entered into a new long-term contract with Murphy to continue
      transporting its production from fields currently delivering crude oil to
      these pipelines systems. The current volume transported for Murphy under
      the contract is approximately 11,000 barrels per day. In aggregrate, the
      pipeline systems transport approximately 200,000 barrels per day of light,
      medium and heavy crudes, as well as condensate.
