AND VALERO LOGISTICS OPERATIONS, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1: Organization Valero L.P. is a Delaware limited partnership owned approximately 73% by Valero Energy Corporation (Valero Energy) and approximately 27% by public unitholders. Valero Logistics Operations, L.P. (Valero Logistics Operations) is also a Delaware limited partnership and is a subsidiary of Valero L.P. As used in this report, the term Partnership may refer, depending on the context, to Valero L.P., Valero Logistics Operations or both of them taken as a whole. The Partnership owns and operates most of the crude oil and refined product pipeline, terminalling and storage assets located in Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Colorado that support Valero Energy's McKee and Three Rivers refineries located in Texas and its Ardmore refinery located in Oklahoma. These pipeline, terminalling and storage assets provide for the transportation of crude oil and other feedstocks to the refineries and the transportation of refined products from the refineries to terminals for further distribution. Valero Energy is a refining and marketing company with 12 refineries and approximately 4,600 company-operated and dealer-operated convenience stores. Valero Energy's refining operations rely on various logistics assets (pipelines, terminals, marine dock facilities, bulk storage facilities, refinery delivery racks and rail car loading equipment) that support its refining and retail operations, including the logistics assets owned and operated by the Partnership. Valero Energy markets the refined products produced at the McKee, Three Rivers and Ardmore refineries primarily in Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona through a network of approximately 2,700 company-operated and dealer-operated convenience stores, as well as other wholesale and spot market sales and exchange agreements. On December 31, 2001, Valero Energy completed its acquisition of Ultramar Diamond Shamrock Corporation (UDS) in a purchase business combination. The assets acquired included UDS' ownership in Valero L.P. and Valero Logistics Operations as well as ownership of Riverwalk Logistics, L.P., the general partner of Valero L.P. On May 30, 2002, the general partner ownership of Valero Logistics Operations was restructured to cause it to be indirectly wholly owned by Valero L.P. Valero GP, Inc., a subsidiary of Valero L.P., succeeded Riverwalk Logistics, L.P. as the general partner of Valero Logistics Operations. All remaining partner interest in Valero Logistics Operations not already owned by Valero L.P. was transferred to Valero L.P. As a result of the restructuring of the general partner ownership, Riverwalk Logistics, L.P. serves as the general partner of Valero L.P. with a 2% general partner interest, Valero GP, Inc. serves as the general partner of Valero Logistics Operations with a 0.01% general partner interest and Valero L.P. is the limited partner of Valero Logistics Operations with a 99.99% limited partner interest. This reorganization was undertaken to simplify required financial reporting by Valero Logistics Operations when guarantees of Valero Logistics Operations debt are issued by Valero L.P. There was no financial statement impact related to this restructuring as all transactions were recorded at historical cost. NOTE 2: Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited consolidated and combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation. In addition, the balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 has been restated to reflect the acquisition of the Wichita Falls Business further described below. 6 VALERO L.P. AND VALERO LOGISTICS OPERATIONS, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) Operating results for the six months ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2002. The balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements as of that date and restated to include the balances of the Wichita Falls Business as discussed below, but does not include all of the information and notes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. These consolidated and combined financial statements should be read along with the audited consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto included in Valero L.P.'s Form 8-K/A dated May 15, 2002 and filed on June 26, 2002. Acquisition of the Wichita Falls Business On February 1, 2002, the Partnership acquired the Wichita Falls Crude Oil Pipeline and Storage Business (the Wichita Falls Business) from Valero Energy for a total cost of $64,000,000. The purchase price was funded with borrowings under the Partnership's revolving credit facility. The Wichita Falls Business consists of the following assets: o A 271.7 mile pipeline originating in Wichita Falls, Texas and ending at Valero Energy's McKee refinery in Dumas, Texas. The pipeline has the capacity to transport 110,000 barrels per day of crude oil gathered or acquired by Valero Energy at Wichita Falls. The Wichita Falls crude oil pipeline connects to third party pipelines that originate along the Texas Gulf Coast. o Four storage tanks located in Wichita Falls, Texas with a total capacity of 660,000 barrels. In the fourth quarter of 2001, UDS completed an expansion project to increase the capacity of the crude oil pipeline from 85,000 barrels per day to 110,000 barrels per day and to increase the capacity of the storage facility from 360,000 barrels to 660,000 barrels. Since the acquisition of the Wichita Falls Business represents the transfer of a business under the common control of Valero Energy, the balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 and the statements of income and cash flows for the month ended January 31, 2002 (preceding the acquisition date) have been restated to include the Wichita Falls Business. The assumed transfer to the Partnership as of December 31, 2001 (the earliest date on which common control existed) and the restatement of the January 2002 statements of income and cash flows have been recorded based on Valero Energy's historical cost, which was based on Valero Energy's allocation of the purchase price paid for UDS. The balance sheet of the Wichita Falls Business as of December 31, 2001, which is included in the combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, includes the following amounts in the respective captions. Wichita Falls Business December 31, 2001 ----------------- (in thousands) Balance Sheet Caption Property, plant and equipment................... $ 64,160 Accrued liabilities............................. 131 Taxes other than income taxes................... 251 Deferred income tax liabilities................. 13,147 Net parent investment........................... 50,631 7 VALERO L.P. AND VALERO LOGISTICS OPERATIONS, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) The following unaudited pro forma financial information for the six months ended June 30, 2001 assumes that the Wichita Falls Business was acquired on January 1, 2001 with borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Six Months Ended June 30, 2001 ---- (in thousands, except per unit amount) Pro Forma Income Statement Information Revenues..................................................... $54,492 Costs and expenses........................................... 29,624 Operating income............................................. 24,868 Allocation of net income: ------------------------ Net income................................................... $21,831 Less net income applicable to the period from January 1 through April 15, 2001................................. (11,842) Less general partner's interest in net income applicable to the period from April 16 through June 30, 2001.............. (200) ------ Limited partners' interest in net income applicable to the six months ended June 30, 2001.......................... $ 9,789 ====== Net income per limited partnership unit..................... $ 0.51 ====== Since Valero L.P. completed its initial public offering on April 16, 2001, the pro forma net income for the period from January 1 through April 15, 2001 of $11,842,000 would have been allocated to Valero Energy (the Wichita Falls Business's parent). The pro forma net income for the period from April 16 through June 30, 2001 of $9,989,000 would have been allocated to the general and limited partners based on their respective ownership interests. The financial statements included in this Form 10-Q represent the following: o consolidated financial statements of the Partnership, including the Wichita Falls Business, as of June 30, 2002 and for the three and five months ended June 30, 2002; o combined financial statements of the Partnership and the Wichita Falls Business as of December 31, 2001 and for the one month ended January 31, 2002; o consolidated financial statements of Valero L.P. and Valero Logistics Operations for the period from April 16, 2001 through June 30, 2001; and o combined financial statements of Valero L.P. and Valero Logistics Operations for the period from January 1, 2001 through April 15, 2001. NOTE 3: Accounting Pronouncements FASB Statement No. 145 In April 2002, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44, and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." This statement: o rescinds Statement No. 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt," o rescinds Statement No. 64, "Extinguishments of Debt Made to Satisfy Sinking-Fund Requirements," o rescinds Statement No. 44, "Accounting for Intangible Assets of Motor Carriers," and 8 VALERO L.P. AND VALERO LOGISTICS OPERATIONS, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) o amends Statement No. 13, "Accounting for Leases," to eliminate an inconsistency between the required accounting for sale-leaseback transactions and the required accounting for certain lease modifications that have economic effects that are similar to sale-leaseback transactions. This statement also amends other existing authoritative pronouncements to make various technical corrections, clarify meanings, or describe their applicability under changed conditions. There was no impact to the Partnership's financial position or results of operations as a result of adopting this statement. FASB Statement No. 146 In June 2002, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. Such costs include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operations, plant closings or other exit or disposal activities. Statement No. 146 supercedes previous accounting guidance principally Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 94-3. The Partnership will adopt the provisions of Statement No. 146 for restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002. Statement No. 146 requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized, at fair value, when the liability is incurred. Under EITF No. 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of the entity's commitment to an exit or disposal plan. NOTE 4: Commitments and Contingencies The Partnership's operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations adopted by various federal, state and local governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Although the Partnership believes its operations are in general compliance with applicable environmental regulations, risks of additional costs and liabilities are inherent in pipeline, terminalling and storage operations, and there can be no assurance that significant costs and liabilities will not be incurred. Moreover, it is possible that other developments, such as increasingly stringent environmental laws, regulations and enforcement policies thereunder, and claims for damages to property or persons resulting from the operations, could result in substantial costs and liabilities. Accordingly, the Partnership has adopted policies, practices and procedures in the areas of pollution control, product safety, occupational health and the handling, storage, use and disposal of hazardous materials to prevent material environmental or other damage, and to limit the financial liability which could result from such events. However, some risk of environmental or other damage is inherent in pipeline, terminalling and storage operations, as it is with other entities engaged in similar businesses. Although environmental costs may have a significant impact on results of operations for any single period, the Partnership believes that such costs will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position. In connection with the initial public offering of Valero L.P., UDS agreed to indemnify Valero L.P. for environmental liabilities that arose prior to April 16, 2001 and are discovered within 10 years after April 16, 2001. Excluded from this indemnification are liabilities that result from a change in environmental law after April 16, 2001. Effective with the acquisition of UDS by Valero Energy, Valero Energy has assumed this environmental indemnification. In addition, as an operator or owner of the assets, the Partnership could be held liable for pre-April 16, 2001 environmental damage should Valero Energy be unable to fulfill its obligation. However, the Partnership believes that such a situation is remote given Valero Energy's financial condition. In conjunction with the sale of the Wichita Falls Business to Valero L.P., Valero Energy has agreed to indemnify Valero L.P. for any environmental liabilities that arose prior to February 1, 2002 and are discovered by April 15, 2011. As of and for the years ended December 31, 2001, 2000 and 1999, and as of and for the one month ended January 31, 2002, the Wichita Falls Business did not incur any environmental liability; thus there was no accrual on January 31, 2002. 9 VALERO L.P. AND VALERO LOGISTICS OPERATIONS, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) The Partnership is involved in various lawsuits, claims and regulatory proceedings incidental to its business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's financial position or results of operations. NOTE 5: Crude Hydrogen Pipeline Acquisition In May of 2002, Valero Energy completed the construction of a 30-mile pure hydrogen pipeline, which originates at Valero Energy's Texas City refinery and ends at Praxair, Inc.'s La Porte, Texas plant. The total cost to construct the pipeline was $11,000,000. On May 29, 2002, the Partnership acquired the 30-mile pure hydrogen pipeline from Valero Energy for $11,000,000, which was funded with borrowings under the Partnership's revolving credit facility. The Partnership then exchanged, on May 29, 2002, its 30-mile pure hydrogen pipeline for Praxair, Inc.'s 25-mile crude hydrogen pipeline, which originates at Celanese Ltd.'s chemical facility in Clear Lake, Texas and ends at Valero Energy's Texas City refinery in Texas City Texas, under an exchange agreement previously negotiated between Valero Energy and Praxair, Inc. In conjunction with the exchange, the Partnership entered into an operating agreement with Praxair, Inc. whereby Praxair, Inc. will operate the pipeline for an annual fee of $92,000, plus reimbursement of repair, replacement and relocation costs. The crude hydrogen transported in the pipeline will be owned by Valero Energy, and the transportation services provided by the Partnership to Valero Energy are subject to a Hydrogen Tolling Agreement. The Hydrogen Tolling Agreement provides that Valero Energy will pay the Partnership an annual fixed fee of $1,400,000 for transporting crude hydrogen, regardless of the actual quantities transported. NOTE 6: Related Party Transactions The Partnership has related party transactions with Valero Energy for pipeline tariff and terminalling fee revenues, certain employee costs, insurance costs, administrative costs and interest expense on the debt due to parent (for the period January 1, 2001 to April 15, 2001). The receivable from parent represents the net amount due from Valero Energy for these related party transactions and the net cash collected under Valero Energy's centralized cash management program on the Partnership's behalf. The following table summarizes transactions with Valero Energy: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, -------- -------- 2002 2001 2002 2001 ---- ---- ---- ---- (in thousands) Revenues.................................... $29,892 $23,488 $55,802 $46,760 Operating expenses.......................... 3,377 2,716 6,784 5,399 General and administrative expenses......... 1,499 1,300 2,931 2,600 Interest expense on debt due to parent...... - 358 - 2,512 Under the Services Agreement with the Partnership, Valero Energy has agreed to provide the corporate functions of legal, accounting, treasury, information technology and other services for an annual fee of $5,200,000 until July 2008. The $5,200,000 may be adjusted annually based on the Consumer Price Index published by the U.S. Department of Labor, and may also be adjusted to take into account additional service levels necessitated by the acquisition or construction of additional assets. This annual fee is in addition to the incremental general and administrative costs to be incurred from third parties as a result of the Partnership being a publicly held entity. 10 VALERO L.P. AND VALERO LOGISTICS OPERATIONS, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) The Services Agreement also requires that the Partnership reimburse Valero Energy for various recurring costs of employees who work exclusively within the pipeline, terminalling and storage operations and for certain other costs incurred by Valero Energy relating solely to the Partnership. These employee costs include salary, wages and benefit costs. Under the Pipelines and Terminals Usage Agreement with the Partnership, Valero Energy has agreed to use the Partnership's pipelines to transport at least 75% of the crude oil shipped to and at least 75% of the refined products shipped from the McKee, Three Rivers and Ardmore refineries and to use the Partnership's refined product terminals for terminalling services for at least 50% of all refined products shipped from these refineries until at least April 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, Valero Energy used the Partnership's pipelines to transport 95% of its crude oil shipped to and 80% of the refined products shipped from the McKee, Three Rivers and Ardmore refineries and Valero Energy used the Partnership's terminalling services for 63% of all refined products shipped from these refineries. If market conditions change, either with respect to the transportation of crude oil or refined products or to the end markets in which Valero Energy sells refined products, in a material manner such that Valero Energy would suffer a material adverse effect if it were to continue to use the Partnership's pipelines and terminals at the required levels, Valero Energy's obligation to the Partnership will be suspended during the period of the change in market conditions to the extent required to avoid the material adverse effect. As a result of the Pipelines and Terminals Usage Agreement, substantially all of the Partnership's revenues are derived from Valero Energy and its various subsidiaries, based on the operations of Valero Energy's McKee, Three Rivers and Ardmore refineries. Accordingly, the Partnership's results are directly impacted by the operations of these three Valero Energy refineries. NOTE 7: Long-term Debt As of June 30, 2002, the Partnership had $91,000,000 outstanding under its $120,000,000 revolving credit facility. During the second quarter of 2002, the Partnership borrowed $11,000,000 under the revolving credit facility to purchase a pure hydrogen pipeline from Valero Energy and during the first quarter of 2002, the Partnership borrowed $64,000,000 under the revolving credit facility to purchase the Wichita Falls Business. The revolving credit facility expires on January 15, 2006 and borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest based on either an alternative base rate or LIBOR at the option of the Partnership. The revolving credit facility requires that the Partnership maintain certain financial ratios and includes other restrictive covenants, including a prohibition on distributions if any default, as defined in the revolving credit facility, exists or would result from the distribution. Management believes that the Partnership is in compliance with all of these ratios and covenants. For a discussion of the issuance of $100,000,000 of senior notes by Valero Logistics Operations in July 2002, see Note 11: Subsequent Events below. 11 VALERO L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) NOTE 8: Net Income per Limited Partnership Unit The following table provides details of the basic and diluted net income per limited partnership unit computations: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, 2002 June 30, 2002 ------------- ------------- Net Net Income Units Per Income Units Per (Numer- (Denom- Unit (Numer- (Denom- Unit ator) inator) Amount ator) inator) Amount ------- ------- ------ ------- ------- ------ (in thousands) (in thousands) Limited partners' interest in net income...................... $14,640 $24,218 ====== ====== Basic and dilutive net income per common and subordinated unit...... $14,640 19,254 $0.76 $24,218 19,248 $1.26 ====== ====== ==== ====== ====== ==== Net income per limited partnership unit for the period from April 16, 2001 (the closing of the Partnerships initial public offering) to June 30, 2001 was $0.46 per unit based on $8,836,000 of net income allocated to the limited partners (numerator) and 19,198,644 limited partnership units outstanding (denominator) during such period. Net income prior to the Partnership's initial public offering on April 16, 2001 of $10,126,000 was allocated entirely to UDS and its affiliates. Net income related to the Wichita Falls Business for the month ended January 31, 2002 of $650,000 was allocated entirely to Valero Energy, the Wichita Falls Business' parent. The Partnership generated sufficient net income such that the amount of net income allocated to common units was equal to the amount allocated to the subordinated units, after consideration of the general partner interest. NOTE 9: Restricted Common Units Valero GP, LLC, the general partner of Riverwalk Logistics, L.P., adopted a long-term incentive plan under which contractual rights to receive common units of Valero L.P. and distribution equivalent rights (DERs) may be awarded to certain key employees of affiliates providing services to Valero L.P. and to directors and officers of Valero GP, LLC. On January 21, 2002, Valero GP, LLC granted contractual rights to receive a total of 55,250 common units and DERs to its officers, certain employees of its affiliates and its outside directors. In conjunction with the grant of contractual rights to receive common units under the plan, Valero L.P. issued 55,250 restricted common units to Valero GP, LLC on January 21, 2002 for total consideration of $2,262,000 (based on a $40.95 market value per common unit), the receivable for which is classified as equity in the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2002. One-third of the contractual rights to receive common units awarded by Valero GP, LLC will vest at the end of each year of the three-year vesting period. Accordingly, the Partnership recognized $199,000 and $331,000 of compensation expense associated with these contractual rights to receive common units for the three and six months ended June 30, 2002, respectively. NOTE 10: Distributions The Partnership makes quarterly distributions of 100% of its available cash, generally defined as cash receipts less cash disbursements and cash reserves established by the general partner in its sole discretion. Pursuant to the partnership agreement, the general partner is entitled to incentive distributions if the amount the Partnership distributes with respect to any quarter exceeds specified target levels shown below: 12 VALERO L.P. AND VALERO LOGISTICS OPERATIONS, L.P. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (Continued) Percentage of Distribution -------------------------- Quarterly Distribution Amount per Unit Unitholders General Partner -------------------------------------- ----------- --------------- Up to $0.60 ......................... 98% 2% Above $0.60 up to $0.66 ............. 90% 10% Above $0.66 up to $0.90 ............. 75% 25% Above $0.90 .......................... 50% 50% On February 14, 2002, the Partnership paid the fourth quarter cash distribution of $0.60 per unit for a total distribution of $11,788,000, including $236,000 paid to the general partner. On May 15, 2002, the Partnership paid the first quarter cash distribution of $0.65 per unit for a total distribution of $12,858,000, including $343,000 paid to the general partner. The general partner's distribution included $85,000 of an incentive distribution. NOTE 11: Subsequent Events On July 15, 2002, Valero Logistics Operations completed the sale of $100,000,000 of 6.875% senior notes for total proceeds of $99,686,000. The net proceeds of $98,536,000, after deducting underwriters' commissions and offering expenses of $1,150,000, were used to pay off the $91,000,000 outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The senior notes rank equally with all other existing indebtedness, including indebtedness under the revolving credit facility. The senior notes contain restrictions on the Partnership's ability to incur secured indebtedness unless the same security is also provided for the benefit of holders of the senior notes. In addition, the senior notes limit the Partnership's ability to incur indebtedness secured by certain liens and to engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions. The senior notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price, which includes a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. The senior notes also include a change-of-control provision, which requires that an investment grade entity own and control the general partner of the Partnership. Otherwise the Partnership must offer to purchase the senior notes at a price equal to 100% of their outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest through the date of purchase. On July 19, 2002, the Partnership declared a quarterly distribution of $0.70 per unit payable on August 14, 2002 to unitholders of record on August 1, 2002. This distribution, related to the second quarter of 2002, is expected to total $14,099,000, of which $621,000 represents the general partner's share of such distribution. The general partner's distribution includes a $339,000 incentive distribution. 13 Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Forward-Looking Statements This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains certain "forward-looking" statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and information relating to the Partnership that is based on the beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management. When used in this report, the words "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "expect" and "intend" and words or phrases of similar expressions, as they relate to the Partnership or management, identify forward-looking statements. These statements reflect the current views of management with respect to future events and are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions relating to the operations, including as a result of: o competitive factors such as competing pipelines; o pricing pressures and changes in market conditions; o reductions in production at the refineries that the Partnership supplies with crude oil and whose refined production it transports; o inability to acquire additional nonaffiliated pipeline entities or assets; o reductions in space allocated to the Partnership in interconnecting third party pipelines; o shifts in market demand; o changes in the credit ratings assigned to Valero Logistics Operations senior notes; o general economic conditions; and o other factors. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should any underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results or outcomes may vary materially from the forward-looking statements described herein. Introduction The Partnership's results of operations may be affected by seasonal factors, such as the consumer demand for petroleum products, which vary during the year, or industry factors that may be specific to a particular period, such as the demand for refined products, supply capacity of competing pipelines and refinery maintenance turnarounds. On February 1, 2002, the Partnership acquired the Wichita Falls Crude Oil Pipeline and Storage Business (the Wichita Falls Business) from Valero Energy for a total cost of $64,000,000. Since the acquisition of the Wichita Falls Business represents the transfer of a business under the common control of Valero Energy, the balance sheet as of December 31, 2001 (the earliest date on which common control existed) and the statements of income and cash flows for the month ended January 31, 2002 (preceding the acquisition date) have been restated to include the Wichita Falls Business. As a result, the financial data and operating data which follow under "Results of Operations" represents the following: o consolidated results of the Partnership as of June 30, 2002 and for the three and five months ended June 30, 2002; o combined results of the Partnership and the Wichita Falls Business as of December 31, 2001 and for the one month ended January 31, 2002; o consolidated results of Valero L.P. and Valero Logistics Operations for the period from April 16, 2001 through June 30, 2001; and o combined results of Valero L.P. and Valero Logistics Operations for the period from January 1, 2001 through April 15, 2001. 14 Results of Operations Three Months Ended June 30, 2002 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2001 Financial Data: Three Months Ended June 30, -------- 2002 2001 ---- ---- (in thousands) Statement of Income Data: Revenues.................................................... $30,030 $ 23,637 ------ ------ Costs and expenses: Operating expenses......................................... 9,565 8,736 General and administrative expenses........................ 1,699 1,331 Depreciation and amortization.............................. 3,875 3,251 ------ ------ Total costs and expenses.................................. 15,139 13,318 ------ ------ Operating income............................................ 14,891 10,319 Equity income from Skelly-Belvieu Pipeline Company......... 844 907 Interest expense, net......................................

Three Months Ended June 30, -------- 2002 2001 % Change ---- ---- -------- (in thousands of barrels) Crude oil pipeline throughput: Dixon to McKee.................................. 4,424 5,724 (23)% Wichita Falls to McKee.......................... 6,173 - - Wasson to Ardmore............................... 7,216 7,389 (2)% Ringgold to Wasson.............................. 3,532 3,887 (9)% Corpus Christi to Three Rivers.................. 6,273 8,256 (24)% Other crude oil pipelines....................... 5,193 3,657 42% ------ ------ Total crude oil pipelines..................... 32,811 28,913 13% ====== ====== Refined product pipeline throughput: McKee to Colorado Springs to Denver............. 2,364 2,138 11% McKee to El Paso................................ 5,968 6,597 (10)% McKee to Amarillo to Abernathy.................. 3,353 3,028 11% Amarillo to Albuquerque......................... 1,065 1,116 (5)% McKee to Denver................................. 1,120 1,060 6% Ardmore to Wynnewood............................ 4,849 5,227 (7)% Three Rivers to Laredo.......................... 1,113 1,119 (1)% Three Rivers to San Antonio..................... 2,335 2,641 (12)% Other refined product pipelines................. 5,466 5,823 (6)% ------ ------ Total refined product pipelines............... 27,633 28,749 (4)% ====== ====== Refined product terminal throughput.............. 16,373 14,515 13% ====== ====== Net income for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was $14,939,000 as compared to $10,356,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001. The increase of $4,583,000 is primarily attributable to the additional net income generated from the four acquisitions completed since July of 2001 (the Southlake refined product terminal, the Ringgold crude oil storage facility, the Wichita Falls Business and the crude hydrogen pipeline). The increase was partially offset by the impact of lower throughput barrels resulting from reduced refinery production at the three Valero Energy refineries served by the Partnership's pipelines and terminals. The reduced refinery production was attributable to economic-based production cuts in June of 2002 and unscheduled refinery down time. Revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 were $30,030,000 as compared to $23,637,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2001, an increase of 27%, or $6,393,000. This increase is due primarily to the addition of the Wichita Falls crude oil pipeline revenues, partially offset by decreases in revenues on several of the Partnership's other pipelines during the quarter. The following discusses significant revenue increases and decreases by pipeline: o revenues for the Wichita Falls crude oil pipeline for the second quarter of 2002 totaled $5,371,000; o revenues for the Ringgold to Wasson and the Wasson to Ardmore crude oil pipeline increased $231,000, despite a combined 5% decrease in throughput barrels resulting from reduced production at the Ardmore refinery, due to a tariff rate increase on the Ringgold to Wasson crude oil pipeline effective December 1, 2001; 16 o revenues for the Corpus Christi to Three Rivers crude oil pipeline decreased $663,000 due to a 24% decrease in throughput barrels, as a result of reduced production at the Three Rivers refinery. During the second quarter of 2002, Valero Energy implemented certain economic-based refinery production cuts at the Three Rivers refinery resulting in reduced throughput barrels in the Partnership's pipelines; o revenues for the McKee to Colorado Springs to Denver and the McKee to Amarillo to Abernathy refined product pipelines increased $642,000 due to a combined 11% increase in throughput barrels, resulting from Valero Energy supplying more refined products to the Colorado and West Texas markets during the second quarter of 2002; o revenues for the McKee to El Paso refined product pipeline decreased $258,000 due to a 10% decrease in throughput barrels, resulting from Valero Energy supplying less refined products to the El Paso and Arizona markets during the second quarter of 2002; and o revenues for the refined product terminals for the second quarter of 2002, excluding the impact of the Southlake terminal, remained comparable to the revenues recognized in the second quarter of 2001 since the additional fee charged at the terminals for blending additives into certain refined products offset the impact of the lower throughput barrels. Revenues for the Southlake refined product terminal, which was acquired on July 1, 2001, were $600,000 and the throughput was 2,068,000 barrels for the quarter ended June 30, 2002. Operating expenses increased $829,000, or 9%, for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2001 primarily due to $1,356,000 of operating expenses related to the Southlake refined product terminal, the Ringgold crude oil storage facility and the Wichita Falls Business, partially offset by lower utility expenses of $775,000, or 28%, due to lower natural gas costs and lower electricity rates negotiated with power suppliers. General and administrative expenses increased 28% for the second quarter of 2002 as compared to the second quarter of 2001 due to general and administrative costs related to being a publicly held entity and the recognition of $199,000 of compensation expense related to the award of contractual rights to receive common units in January of 2002 (See Note 9: Restricted Common Units). In addition to the $5,200,000 annual fee charged by Valero Energy to the Partnership for general and administrative services, the Partnership incurs costs (e.g., unitholder annual reports and preparation and mailing of income tax reports to unitholders and director fees) as a result of being a publicly held entity. For the three months ended June 30, 2002, general and administrative expenses of $1,699,000 reflect $1,300,000 of the annual service fee, $360,000 of public entity expenses and $199,000 of compensation expense, less $160,000 reimbursed by partners on jointly owned pipelines. For the three months ended June 30, 2001, general and administrative expenses of $1,331,000 reflect $1,300,000 of the annual service fee and $99,000 of public entity expenses, less $68,000 reimbursed by partners on jointly owned pipelines. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $624,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2001 due to the additional depreciation related to the acquisition of the Southlake refined product terminal, the Ringgold crude oil storage facility, the Wichita Falls Business and the crude hydrogen pipeline, all subsequent to the second quarter of 2001. Equity income from Skelly-Belvieu Pipeline Company represents the Partnership's 50% interest in the net income of Skelly-Belvieu Pipeline Company, which operates the Skellytown to Mont Belvieu refined product pipeline. Equity income from Skelly-Belvieu Pipeline Company for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 approximated the amount of equity income recognized in the second quarter of 2001 as throughput volumes did not change significantly. Distributions from the Skelly-Belvieu Pipeline Company for the second quarter of 2002 totaled $851,000 as compared to $593,000 for the second quarter of 2001, an increase of 44%, or $258,000. This increase is primarily due to higher levels of maintenance capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2001 that reduced the cash available to be distributed. 17 Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 2002 was $796,000, net of interest income of $23,000 and capitalized interest of $40,000, as compared to $870,000 of interest expense for the same period in 2001. Interest expense decreased due to the payoff of the debt due to parent in April 2001 with proceeds from the Partnership's initial public offering. During the second quarter of 2002, the Partnership incurred $598,000 of interest expense related to borrowings under the revolving credit facility, $201,000 of interest expense related to the Port of Corpus Christi note payable and $60,000 of interest expense related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. The acquisitions of the crude hydrogen pipeline on May 29, 2002 and the Wichita Falls Business on February 1, 2002 from Valero Energy were funded with $75,000,000 of borrowings under the revolving credit facility.

The increase of $6,220,000 is primarily attributable to the additional net income generated from the four acquisitions completed since July of 2001 (the Southlake refined product terminal, the Ringgold crude oil storage facility, the Wichita Falls Business and the crude hydrogen pipeline) and lower interest expense as compared to 2001 as a result of repaying the $107,676,000 of debt due to parent in April of 2001. The increase was partially offset by the impact of lower throughput barrels resulting from economic-based refinery production cuts at the three Valero Energy refineries served by the Partnership's pipelines and terminals. Net income in the first six months of 2002 includes $650,000 of net income related to the Wichita Falls Business for the month ended January 31, 2002, which was allocated entirely to Valero Energy, the Wichita Falls Business' parent. Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2002 were $56,054,000 as compared to $47,059,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of 19%, or $8,995,000. This increase is due primarily to the addition of the Wichita Falls crude oil pipeline revenues and the Southlake refined product terminal revenues in the first six months of 2002, partially offset by decreases in revenues on most of the Partnership's other pipelines during the first six months of 2002. The following discusses significant revenue increases and decreases by pipeline: o revenues in the six months ended June 30, 2002 include $10,104,000 of revenues related to the Wichita Falls Business, including $1,740,000 of revenues (2,000,000 barrels of throughput) related to the month ended January 31, 2002 as a result of the common control transfer between Valero Energy and the Partnership; 19 o revenues for the Wasson to Ardmore crude oil pipeline and the Ardmore to Wynnewood refined product pipeline decreased $410,000 due to a combined 15% decrease in throughput barrels, resulting from reduced production at the Ardmore refinery. During the first six months of 2002, Valero Energy initiated economic-based refinery production cuts as a result of significantly lower refining margins industry-wide; o revenues for the Ringgold to Wasson crude oil pipeline increased $106,000, despite a 19% decrease in throughput barrels resulting from reduced production at the Ardmore refinery, due to a tariff rate increase effective December 1, 2001; o revenues for the Corpus Christi to Three Rivers crude oil pipeline decreased $1,359,000 due to a 27% decrease in throughput barrels, as a result of reduced production at the Three Rivers refinery. During the first six months of 2002, Valero Energy also initiated economic-based refinery production cuts at the Three Rivers refinery. In addition, during the first quarter of 2002, Valero Energy accelerated certain refinery maintenance turnaround work scheduled for later in 2002 resulting in the partial shutdown of the refinery and reduced throughput barrels in the Partnership's pipelines; o revenues for the McKee to Colorado Springs to Denver and the McKee to El Paso refined product pipelines decreased $844,000 due to a combined 7% decrease in throughput barrels, resulting from reduced production at the McKee refinery. During the first quarter of 2002, Valero Energy completed several planned refinery maintenance turnaround projects at the McKee refinery which significantly reduced production and thus reduced throughput barrels in the Partnership's pipelines; o revenues for the Three Rivers to Corpus Christi and the Three Rivers to Pettus refined product pipelines decreased $351,000 due to a combined 28% decrease in throughput barrels, as a result of reduced production at the Three Rivers refinery. During the refinery turnaround and economic-induced production cutbacks, the Three Rivers refinery curtailed production of benzene, toluene and xylene, the primary refined products transported in the refined product pipelines going to Corpus Christi from Three Rivers; and o revenues for the refined product terminals for the six months ended June 30, 2002, excluding the impact of the Southlake terminal, remained comparable to the revenues recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2001 since the throughput levels remained steady. Revenues for the Southlake refined product terminal, which was acquired on July 1, 2001, were $1,213,000 and the throughput was 4,175,000 barrels for the six months ended June 30, 2002. Operating expenses increased $1,362,000, or 8%, for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 due to $2,639,000 of operating expenses related to the Southlake refined product terminal, the Ringgold crude oil storage facility and the Wichita Falls Business, partially offset by lower utility expenses of $1,420,000, or 25%, due to lower natural gas costs and lower electricity rates negotiated with power suppliers. General and administrative expenses increased 39% for the first six months of 2002 as compared to the first six months of 2001 due to general and administrative costs related to being a publicly held entity and the recognition of $331,000 of compensation expense related to the award of contractual rights to receive common units in January of 2002 (See Note 9: Restricted Common Units). In addition to the $5,200,000 annual fee charged by Valero Energy to the Partnership for general and administrative services, the Partnership incurs costs (e.g., unitholder annual reports and preparation and mailing of income tax reports to unitholders and director fees) as a result of being a publicly held entity. For the six months ended June 30, 2002, general and administrative expenses of $3,487,000 reflect $2,600,000 of the annual service fee, $40,000 of general and administrative expenses related to the Wichita Falls Business for January 2002, $831,000 of public entity expenses and $331,000 of compensation expense, less $315,000 reimbursed by partners on jointly owned pipelines. For the six months ended June 30, 2001, general and administrative expenses of $2,503,000 reflect $2,600,000 of the annual service fee and $99,000 of public entity expenses, less $196,000 reimbursed by partners on jointly owned pipelines. 20 Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1,742,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2002 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2001 due to the additional depreciation related to the acquisition of the Southlake refined product terminal, the Ringgold crude oil storage facility, the Wichita Falls Business and the crude hydrogen pipeline, all subsequent to the second quarter of 2001. Included in the first six months of 2002 is $160,000 of depreciation expense related to the Wichita Falls Business for the month ended January 31, 2002. Equity income from Skelly-Belvieu Pipeline Company for the six months ended June 30, 2002 approximated the amount of equity income recognized in the six months ended June 30, 2001 as throughput volumes in the Skellytown to Mont Belvieu refined product pipeline did not change significantly. Distributions from the Skelly-Belvieu Pipeline Company for the six months ended June 30, 2002 totaled $1,622,000 as compared to $1,232,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2001, an increase of 32%, or $390,000. This increase is primarily due to higher levels of maintenance capital expenditures in the second quarter of 2001 that reduced the cash available to be distributed. Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $1,352,000, net of interest income of $42,000 and capitalized interest of $114,000, as compared to $3,114,000 of interest expense for the same period in 2001. Interest expense decreased due to the payoff of the debt due to parent in April 2001 with proceeds from the Partnership's initial public offering. During the first six months of 2002, the Partnership incurred $1,045,000 of interest expense related to borrowings under the revolving credit facility, $403,000 of interest expense related to the Port of Corpus Christi note payable and $60,000 of interest expense related to the amortization of debt issuance costs. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility increased in the first half of 2002, as a result of the May 29, 2002 acquisition of a crude hydrogen pipeline for $11,000,000 and the February 1, 2002 acquisition of the Wichita Falls Business for $64,000,000. Income tax expense for the first six months of 2002 represents income taxes incurred by the Wichita Falls Business during the month ended January 31, 2002, prior to the transfer of the Wichita Falls Business to the Partnership. Outlook for the Third Quarter and Remainder of 2002 So far during the third quarter of 2002, throughput levels in the Partnership's pipelines and terminals are in line with volumes transported in the second quarter of 2002. Refinery industry margins thus far in the third quarter of 2002 are comparable to the margins seen in the second quarter of 2002; which has resulted in Valero Energy maintaining throughput levels in and out of the McKee, Three Rivers and Ardmore refineries at below normal operating capacity. The Partnership anticipates that throughput levels in its various pipelines and terminals will continue at second quarter 2002 levels for the balance of 2002; however, there can be no assurance that throughput will stay at these levels. Liquidity and Capital Resources Financing As of June 30, 2002, the Partnership had $91,000,000 outstanding under its $120,000,000 revolving credit facility. During the first quarter of 2002, the Partnership borrowed $64,000,000 under the revolving credit facility to purchase the Wichita Falls Business from Valero Energy. During the second quarter of 2002, the Partnership borrowed $11,000,000 under the revolving credit facility to purchase a pure hydrogen pipeline from Valero Energy. The revolving credit facility expires on January 15, 2006 and borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest based on either an alternative base rate or LIBOR at the option of the Partnership. The revolving credit facility requires that the Partnership maintain certain financial ratios and includes other restrictive covenants, including a prohibition on distributions by the Partnership if any default, as defined in the revolving credit facility, exists or would result from the distribution. Management believes that the Partnership is in compliance with all of these ratios and covenants. 21 On June 6, 2002, Valero L.P. and Valero Logistics Operations filed a $500,000,000 universal shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On July 15, 2002, Valero Logistics Operations completed the sale of $100,000,000 of 6.875% senior notes, issued under its shelf registration, for total proceeds of $99,686,000. The net proceeds of $98,536,000, after deducting underwriters' commissions and offering expenses of $1,150,000, were used to pay off the $91,000,000 outstanding under the revolving credit facility. The senior notes rank equally with all other existing indebtedness, including indebtedness under the revolving credit facility. The senior notes contain restrictions on the Partnership's ability to incur secured indebtedness unless the same security is also provided for the benefit of holders of the senior notes. In addition, the senior notes limit the Partnership's ability to incur indebtedness secured by certain liens and to engage in certain sale-leaseback transactions. The senior notes may be redeemed in whole or in part at any time at a redemption price, which includes a make-whole premium, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. The senior notes also include a change-of-control provision, which requires that an investment grade entity own and control the general partner of the Partnership. Otherwise the Partnership must offer to purchase the senior notes at a price equal to 100% of their outstanding principal balance plus accrued interest through the date of purchase. The Partnership's ability to complete future debt and equity offerings and the timing of any such offerings will depend upon various factors including prevailing market conditions, interest rates and the Partnership's financial condition. Distributions Valero L.P.'s partnership agreement, as amended, sets forth the calculation to be used to determine the amount and priority of cash distributions that the common unitholders, subordinated unitholders and general partner will receive. During the subordination period, the holders of Valero L.P.'s common units are entitled to receive each quarter a minimum quarterly distribution of $0.60 per unit ($2.40 annualized) prior to any distribution of available cash to holders of Valero L.P.'s subordinated units. The subordination period is defined generally as the period that will end on the first day of any quarter beginning after December 31, 2005 if (1) the Partnership has distributed at least the minimum quarterly distribution on all outstanding units with respect to each of the immediately preceding three consecutive, non-overlapping four-quarter periods and (2) the Partnership's adjusted operating surplus, as defined in the partnership agreement, during such periods equals or exceeds the amount that would have been sufficient to enable the Partnership to distribute the minimum quarterly distribution on all outstanding units on a fully diluted basis and the related distribution on the 2% general partner interest during those periods. In addition, all of the subordinated units may convert to common units on a one-for-one basis on the first day following the record date for distributions for the quarter ending December 31, 2005, if the Partnership meets the tests set forth in the partnership agreement. If the subordination period ends, the rights of the holders of subordinated units will no longer be subordinated to the rights of the holders of common units and the subordinated units may be converted into common units. On May 15, 2002, the Partnership paid a distribution of $0.65 per unit, or $12,515,000, to unitholders representing the distribution of available cash generated in the first quarter of 2002. The general partner's cash distribution applicable to the first quarter of 2002 was $343,000, of which $85,000 was an incentive distribution. On July 19, 2002, the Partnership declared a distribution of $0.70 per unit, or $13,478,000, payable on August 14, 2002, to unitholders representing the distribution of available cash generated in the second quarter of 2002. The general partner's cash distribution applicable to the second quarter of 2002 was $621,000, of which $339,000 was an incentive distribution. 22 Capital Requirements The petroleum pipeline industry is capital-intensive, requiring significant investments to upgrade or enhance existing operations and to meet environmental regulations. The Partnership's capital expenditures consist primarily of: o maintenance capital expenditures, such as those required to maintain equipment reliability and safety and to address environmental regulations; and o expansion capital expenditures, such as those to expand and upgrade pipeline capacity and to construct new pipelines, terminals and storage facilities to meet Valero Energy's needs. In addition, expansion capital expenditures will include acquisitions of pipelines, terminals or storage assets owned by Valero Energy or other parties. The Partnership expects to fund its capital expenditures from cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary, from proceeds of borrowings under the revolving credit facility or debt and equity offerings. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Partnership incurred maintenance capital expenditures of $1,530,000 primarily related to tank and automation upgrades at both the refined product terminals and the crude oil storage facilities and cathodic (corrosion) protection and automation upgrades for refined product pipelines. For the remainder of 2002, the Partnership anticipates incurring approximately $2,400,000 of additional maintenance capital expenditures for various automation upgrades and maintenance projects. During the six months ended June 30, 2002, the Partnership incurred $1,230,000 of expansion capital expenditures, which related primarily to the Amarillo to Albuquerque refined product pipeline expansion project. The capital expenditures for the Amarillo to Albuquerque refined product pipeline expansion project are net of Phillips Petroleum Company's 50% share of costs. Upon completion, the Partnership's capacity in the Amarillo to Albuquerque pipeline increased from 16,083 barrels per day to 20,700 barrels per day. On February 1, 2002, the Partnership acquired the Wichita Falls Business from Valero Energy for a total cost of $64,000,000. The Wichita Falls Business consists of the following assets: o A 271.7 mile pipeline originating in Wichita Falls, Texas and ending at Valero Energy's McKee refinery in Dumas, Texas. The pipeline has the capacity to transport 110,000 barrels per day of crude oil gathered or acquired by Valero Energy at Wichita Falls. The Wichita Falls crude oil pipeline connects to third party pipelines that originate along the Texas Gulf Coast. o Four storage tanks located in Wichita Falls, Texas with a total capacity of 660,000 barrels. On May 29, 2002, the Partnership completed the acquisition of a 30-mile pure hydrogen pipeline from Valero Energy for $11,000,000 and subsequently exchanged that pipeline for a 25-mile crude hydrogen pipeline owned by Praxair, Inc. The crude hydrogen pipeline originates at the Celanese Ltd.'s chemical facility in Clear Lake, Texas and ends at Valero Energy's Texas City refinery in Texas City, Texas. The pipeline supplies crude hydrogen to the refinery under a long-term supply arrangement between Valero Energy and Praxair, Inc. The Partnership anticipates that it will continue to have adequate liquidity to fund future recurring operating, investing and financing activities. Cash distributions are expected to be funded with internally generated cash. Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk The Partnership currently does not engage in interest rate, foreign currency exchange rate or commodity price hedging transactions. The principal market risk (i.e., the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices) to which the Partnership is exposed is interest rate risk on its debt. The Partnership manages its debt considering various financing alternatives available in the market and manages its exposure to changing interest rates principally through the use of a combination of fixed and floating rate debt. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility expose the Partnership to increases in the benchmark interest rate underlying its floating rate revolving credit facility. The Partnerships remaining debt is fixed rate debt. 23 As of June 30, 2002, the Partnership's fixed rate debt consists of the 8% Port of Corpus Christi note payable with a carrying value of $10,076,000 and an estimated fair value of $10,810,000. The fair value was estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements. As of June 30, 2002, the Partnership's floating rate debt consists of the borrowings under the revolving credit facility with a carrying value of $91,000,000 and an estimated fair value of $91,000,000. Subsequent to June 30, 2002, Valero Logistics Operations issued $100,000,000 of 6.875% senior notes, the estimated fair value of which approximates carrying value due to the senior notes recent issuance. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings No material litigation has been filed or is pending against the Partnership as of June 30, 2002. Item 2. Changes in Securities and Use of Proceeds On July 15, 2002, Valero Logistics Operations completed the sale of $100,000,000 of 6.875% senior notes that mature July 15, 2012. The senior notes were issued under Valero L.P.'s and Valero Logistics Operations' previously filed Form S-3 shelf registration statement (Registration No. 333-89978). The managing underwriter for this offering was JP Morgan. The senior notes were sold at 99.686% of par resulting in net proceeds of $98,536,000, after consideration of underwriters' commissions of $650,000 and legal, accounting and printing expenses of $500,000. The closing of the offering occurred on July 15, 2002. Valero Logistics Operations used $91,000,000 of the net proceeds to pay off the outstanding balance of its revolving credit facility. The remaining net proceeds will be used for general operating purposes. Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities None. Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders None. Item 5.
