Notes
to Consolidated Financial Statements
1.
Organization and Basis of Presentation
The
accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto
presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009
(the “Annual Report”). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article
10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information
and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion
of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of
our financial position at September 30, 2010, our operating results for the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and our cash
flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, have been included.
Operating results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ended December 31, 2010. The consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2009 has
been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but
does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for
complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the
consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual
Report.
We follow
the successful efforts method of accounting for oil and gas activities.
Depletion, depreciation and amortization of proved oil and gas properties is
computed using the units-of-production method, net of any estimated residual
salvage values.
As of
December 31, 2009, Quicksilver Resources Inc. (“Quicksilver”) held approximately
21.3 million of our common units (“Common Units”), representing approximately 40
percent of our outstanding Common Units. On May 11, 2010, Quicksilver partially
paid for an acquisition of assets from Marshall R. Young Oil Co. (“Young”) with
3.6 million Common Units. During the period from June 7, 2010 through September
23, 2010, Young sold all of these Common Units. In September 2010, Quicksilver
sold 1.4 million Common Units, resulting in Quicksilver’s ownership being
reduced to 16.3 million Common Units, and as of September 30, 2010, with that
sale, Quicksilver owned approximately 31 percent of our Common
Units.
2.
Accounting Pronouncements
Effective January 1, 2010,
we adopted guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board
(“FASB”) in June 2009 related to the consolidation of variable interest entities
with no impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.
ASU 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements
and Disclosures.” In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06 to make
certain amendments to Subtopic 820-10 that require two additional disclosures
and clarify two existing disclosures. The new disclosures require details of
significant transfers in and out of level 1 and level 2 measurements and the
reasons for the transfers, and a gross presentation of activity within the level
3 roll forward that presents separately information about purchases, sales,
issuances and settlements. The ASU clarifies the existing disclosures with
regard to the level of disaggregation of fair value measurements by class of
assets and liabilities rather than major category where the reporting entities
would need to apply judgment to determine the appropriate classes of other
assets and liabilities. The second clarification relates to disclosures of
valuation techniques and inputs for recurring and non recurring fair value
measurements using significant other observable inputs and significant
unobservable inputs for level 2 and level 3 measurements, respectively. ASU
2010-06 (ASC 820-10) is prospectively effective for financial statements issued
for interim or annual periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the
disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll
forward of activity in level 3 fair value measurements, which are effective for
fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within
those fiscal years. We adopted ASU 2010-06, effective January 1, 2010. See Note
10 for the disclosures required by ASU 2010-06.

Our
deferred income tax liability was $2.7 million and $2.5 million at September 30,
2010 and December 31, 2009, respectively. The following table presents our

Related Party Transactions
BreitBurn
Management Company, LLC (“BreitBurn Management”), our wholly-owned subsidiary,
operates our assets and performs other administrative services for us such as
accounting, corporate development, finance, land administration, legal and
engineering. All of our employees, including our executives, are employees of
BreitBurn Management.
BreitBurn
Management also provides administrative services to BreitBurn Energy Company
L.P. (“BEC”), our predecessor, under an administrative services agreement, in
exchange for a monthly fee for indirect expenses and reimbursement for all
direct expenses including incentive compensation plan costs and direct payroll
and administrative costs related to BEC properties and operations. In 2010, the
monthly fee paid by BEC for indirect expenses is approximately
$456,000.
At
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had current receivables of $1.5
million and $1.4 million, respectively, due from BEC related to the
administrative services agreement, outstanding liabilities for employee related
costs and oil and gas sales made by BEC on our behalf from certain properties.
During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the monthly
charges to BEC for indirect expenses totaled $1.2 million and $4.0 million,
respectively, and charges for direct expenses including incentive compensation
plan costs, direct payroll and administrative costs totaled $1.1 million and
$5.0 million, respectively. During the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2009, the monthly charges to BEC for indirect expenses totaled
$1.5 million and $4.5 million, respectively, and charges for direct expenses
including incentive compensation plan costs, direct payroll and administrative
costs totaled $1.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively. For the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 2010, total oil and gas sales made by BEC on
our behalf were approximately $0.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. For
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2009, total oil and gas
sales made by BEC on our behalf were approximately $0.4 million and $0.9
million, respectively.
At
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had receivables of $0.3 million due
from certain of our other affiliates, primarily representing investments in
natural gas processing facilities, for management fees due from them and
operational expenses incurred on their behalf.
Quicksilver
buys natural gas from us in Michigan. For the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2010, total net gas sales to Quicksilver were approximately $0.8
million and $2.6 million, respectively. For the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2009, total net gas sales to Quicksilver were approximately
$0.5 million and $2.1 million, respectively. At September 30, 2010 and December
31, 2009, the related receivable was $0.3 million and $0.4 million,
respectively.
-5-
On
October 31, 2008, Quicksilver instituted a lawsuit (the “Litigation”) against us
and certain of our subsidiaries and directors in the 48th District Court in
Tarrant County, Texas (the “Court”). In February 2010, we agreed to settle all
claims with respect to the Litigation (the “Original Settlement”). A final
settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”), which superseded the Original
Settlement, was executed in April 2010. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement,
the parties agreed to dismiss all pending claims before the Court and mutually
released each party, its affiliates, agents, officers, directors and attorneys
from any and all claims arising from the subject matter of the Litigation. At
December 31, 2009, we had a $13.0 million payable to Quicksilver in connection
with the monetary portion of the settlement, which was paid in April 2010 after
the Settlement Agreement was executed. On April 6, 2010, an order dismissing all
claims in the Litigation was entered by the Court. In June 2010, we received $3
million from our insurers as partial reimbursement. While discussions with our
insurers are continuing and we may be required to invoke our legal remedies to
obtain payment, we expect to receive reimbursement for the full amount paid to
Quicksilver and all or substantially all related fees and costs.
5.
Inventory
Our crude
oil inventory from our Florida operations at September 30, 2010 and December 31,
2009 was $4.6 million and $5.8 million, respectively. In the nine months ended
September 30, 2010, we sold 550 gross MBbls and produced 552 gross MBbls of
crude oil from our Florida operations. Crude oil sales are a function of the
number and size of crude oil shipments in each quarter and thus crude oil sales
do not always coincide with volumes produced in a given quarter. Crude oil
inventory additions are at cost and represent our production costs. We match
production expenses with crude oil sales. Production expenses associated with
unsold crude oil inventory are recorded to inventory.
6.
Long-Term Debt
On
November 1, 2007, BOLP, as borrower, and we and our wholly-owned subsidiaries,
as guarantors, entered into a four-year, $1.5 billion amended and restated
revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank, N. A., Credit Suisse Securities
(USA) LLC and a syndicate of banks (the “First Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement”). On June 17, 2008, we and our wholly owned subsidiaries entered into
Amendment No. 1 to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement.
On May 7,
2010, BOLP, as borrower, and we and our wholly-owned subsidiaries, as
guarantors, entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, a
four-year, $1.5 billion revolving credit facility with Wells Fargo Bank,
National Association, as Administrative Agent, Swing Line Lender and Issuing
Lender, and a syndicate of banks (the “Second Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement”). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement increased our
borrowing base to $735 million from $732 million and will mature on May 7,
2014.
On
September 17, 2010, we entered into the First Amendment to the Second Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement, which included a consent to the formation of a
new wholly owned subsidiary, BreitBurn Collingwood Utica LLC (“Utica”), and its
designation as an unrestricted subsidiary under our bank credit facility. Utica
is not a guarantor of indebtedness under our bank credit facility. On October 6,
2010, we and BreitBurn Finance Corporation, and certain of our subsidiaries, as
guarantors, issued $305 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.625% Senior
Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”). See Note 13 for a discussion of the
Notes.
As of
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had $516.0 million and $559.0
million, respectively, in indebtedness outstanding under our credit facility. At
September 30, 2010, the 1-month LIBOR interest rate plus an applicable spread on
our long-term debt was 2.760 percent. The amounts reported on
our consolidated balance sheets for long-term debt approximate fair value due to
the variable nature of our interest rates.
The
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement contains customary covenants,
including restrictions on our ability to: incur additional indebtedness; make
certain investments, loans or advances; make distributions to our unitholders or
repurchase units (including the restriction on our ability to make distributions
unless after giving effect to such distribution, the availability to borrow
under the facility is the lesser of (i) 10 percent of the borrowing base and
(ii) the greater of (a) $50 million and (b) twice the amount of the proposed
distribution), while remaining in compliance with all terms and conditions of
our credit facility, including the leverage ratio not exceeding 3.75 to 1.00
(which is total indebtedness to EBITDAX); make dispositions or enter into sales
and leasebacks; or enter into a merger or sale of our property or assets,
including the sale or transfer of interests in our
subsidiaries.
-6-
The
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement no longer requires that in order to
make a distribution to our unitholders, we also must have the ability to borrow
10 percent of our borrowing base after giving effect to such distribution, and
remain in compliance with all terms and conditions of our credit facility. In
addition, the requirement that we maintain a leverage ratio (defined as the
ratio of total debt to EBITDAX) as of the last day of each quarter, on a last
twelve month basis of no more than 3.50 to 1.00 was increased to 3.75 to 1.00.
The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement continues to require us to
maintain a current ratio as of the last day of each quarter, of not less than
1.00 to 1.00 and to maintain an interest coverage ratio (defined as the ratio of
EBITDAX to consolidated interest expense) as of the last day of each quarter, of
not less than 2.75 to 1.00. As of September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we
were in compliance with the credit facility’s covenants.
The
pricing grid was adjusted by increasing the applicable margins (as defined in
the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement) between 75 and 100 basis
points, depending on the percentage of the borrowing base borrowed, in line with
the current credit market for similar facilities. At our debt level as of
September 30, 2010, the applicable margin on our borrowings was 250 basis
points. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement permits us to incur or
guaranty additional debt up to $350 million in senior unsecured notes, and
requires that our borrowing base be reduced by 25 percent of the original stated
principal amount of such senior unsecured notes when we incur such additional
indebtedness. See Note 13 for a discussion of Notes issued on October 6,
2010.
The
Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also permits us to terminate
derivative contracts without obtaining the consent of the lenders in the
facility, provided that the net effect of such termination plus the aggregate
value of all dispositions of oil and gas properties made during such period,
together, does not exceed 5 percent of the borrowing base, and the borrowing
base will be automatically reduced by an amount equal to the net effect of the
termination.
The
events that constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Second Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement) include: payment defaults; misrepresentations;
breaches of covenants; cross-default and cross-acceleration to certain other
indebtedness; adverse judgments against us in excess of a specified amount;
changes in management or control; loss of permits; certain insolvency events;
and assertion of certain environmental claims.
EBITDAX
is not a defined GAAP measure. The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement
defines EBITDAX as consolidated net income plus exploration expense, interest

Asset Retirement Obligation
Our asset
retirement obligation is based on our net ownership in wells and facilities and
our estimate of the costs to abandon and remediate those wells and facilities
together with our estimate of the future timing of the costs to be incurred.
Payments to settle asset retirement obligations occur over the operating lives
of the assets, estimated to be from less than one year to 50 years. Estimated
cash flows have been discounted at our credit-adjusted risk free rate of seven
percent and adjusted for inflation using a rate of two percent. Our
credit-adjusted risk free rate is calculated based on our cost of borrowing
adjusted for the effect of our credit standing and specific industry and
business risk.
ASC 820
“Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures” establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the
inputs to valuation techniques into three broad levels based upon how observable
those inputs are. The highest priority of Level 1 is given to unadjusted quoted
prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 includes
inputs other than quoted prices that are included in Level 1 and can be derived
by observable data, including third party data providers. These inputs may also
include observable transactions in the market place. Level 3 is defined as
unobservable inputs for use when little or no market data exists, therefore
requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. We consider the inputs to
our asset retirement obligation valuation to be Level 3, as fair value is
determined using discounted cash flow methodologies based on standardized inputs
that are not readily observable in public markets.
Changes
in the asset retirement obligation for the periods ended September 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009 are presented in the following table:

Partners’ Equity
During
the first nine months of 2010, 510,437 Common Units were issued to employees
pursuant to vested grants under our long-term incentive compensation plan, and
13,617 Common Units were issued to outside directors for phantom units and
distribution equivalent rights that were granted in 2007 and vested in January
2010.
At
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had 53,308,255 and 52,784,201
Common Units outstanding, respectively. At September 30, 2010 and December 31,
2009, we had 6,700,000 units authorized for issuance under our long-term
incentive compensation plans, and there were 3,640,449 and 2,961,659,
respectively, of units outstanding under grants that were eligible to be paid in
Common Units upon vesting.
Cash
Distributions
On May
14, 2010, we paid a cash distribution of approximately $20.0 million to our
common unitholders of record as of the close of business on May 10, 2010. The
distribution that was paid to unitholders was $0.375 per Common
Unit.
On August
13, 2010, we paid a cash distribution of approximately $20.4 million to our
common unitholders of record as of the close of business on August 9, 2010. The
distribution that was paid to unitholders was $0.3825 per Common
Unit.
-8-
During
the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we also paid $2.7 million in cash at a
rate equal to the distributions paid to our unitholders, to holders of
outstanding unvested Restricted Phantom Units (“RPUs”) and Convertible Phantom
Units (“CPUs”) issued under our long-term incentive plan.
Earnings
per unit
ASC 260
“Earnings per Share”
requires use of the “two-class” method of computing earnings per unit for
all periods presented. The “two-class” method is an earnings allocation formula
that determines earnings per unit for each class of common unit and
participating security as if all earnings for the period had been distributed.
Unvested restricted unit awards that earn non-forfeitable dividend rights
qualify as participating securities and, accordingly, are included in the basic
computation. Our unvested RPUs and CPUs participate in distributions on an equal
basis with Common Units. Accordingly, the presentation below is prepared on a
combined basis and is presented as earnings per common unit.
The
following is a reconciliation of net earnings and weighted average units for
calculating basic net earnings per common unit and diluted net earnings per
common unit.

outstanding plus the weighted average number of potentially issuable RPUs and
CPUs. The three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 exclude 3,504, 2,849 and 2,599, respectively, of
potentially issuable weighted average RPUs and CPUs from participating
securities, as we were in a loss position.
(b) The
nine months ended September 30, 2010 includes dilutive units potentially
issuable to directors under compensation plans. The three months ended September
30, 2010 and 2009 and the nine months ended September 30, 2009 exclude 144, 106
and 105, respectively, of weighted average anti-dilutive units from the
calculation of the denominator for diluted earnings per common

Noncontrolling Interest
ASC 810
“Consolidation” requires that
noncontrolling interests be classified as a component of equity and establishes
reporting requirements that provide sufficient disclosures that clearly identify
and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the
noncontrolling owners.
On May
25, 2007, we acquired the limited partner interest (99 percent) of BEPI from
TIFD. As such, we are fully consolidating the results of BEPI and thus are
recognizing a noncontrolling interest representing the book value of the general
partner’s interests. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the amount of
this noncontrolling interest was $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded net
income attributable to the noncontrolling interest of less than $0.1 million and
$0.1 million, respectively, and dividends of less than $0.1 million and $0.1
million, respectively. For the three months and nine months ended September 30,
2009, we recorded net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest of less
than $0.1 million in each period, and dividends of less than $0.1 million and
$0.1 million, respectively.

Financial Instruments
Our risk
management programs are intended to reduce our exposure to commodity prices and
interest rates and to assist with stabilizing cash flow and distributions.
Routinely, we utilize derivative financial instruments to reduce this
volatility. To the extent we have hedged a significant portion of our expected
production through commodity derivative instruments and the cost for goods and
services increase, our margins would be adversely affected.
Credit
and Counterparty Risk
Financial
instruments which potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk
consist principally of derivatives and accounts receivable. Our derivatives
expose us to credit risk from counterparties. As of September 30, 2010, our
derivative counterparties were Barclays Bank PLC, Bank of Montreal, Citibank,
N.A, Credit Suisse Energy LLC, Union Bank N.A, Wells Fargo Bank National
Association, JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A., The Royal Bank of Scotland plc, The Bank
of Nova Scotia, BNP Paribas, U.S Bank National Association and Toronto-Dominion
Bank. We periodically obtain credit default swap information on our
counterparties. As of September 30, 2010, each of these financial institutions
had an investment grade credit rating. Although we currently do not believe we
have a specific counterparty risk with any party, our loss could be substantial
if any of these parties were to default. As of September 30, 2010, our largest
derivative asset balances were with JP Morgan Chase Bank N.A. and Credit Suisse
Energy LLC, who accounted for approximately 61 percent and 19 percent of our
derivative asset balance, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, our largest
derivative liability balances were with Wells Fargo Bank National Association
and Barclays Bank PLC, who accounted for approximately 78 percent and 12 percent
of our derivative liability balance, respectively.

Commodity
Activities
The
derivative instruments we utilize are based on index prices that may and often
do differ from the actual crude oil and natural gas prices realized in our
operations. These variations often result in a lack of adequate correlation to
enable these derivative instruments to qualify for cash flow hedges under ASC
815 “Derivatives and
Hedging.” Accordingly, we do not attempt to account for our derivative
instruments as cash flow hedges for financial reporting purposes and instead
recognize changes in fair value immediately in earnings.
We had
the following commodity derivative contracts in place at September 30,

ASC 820
“Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring
fair value and establishes required disclosures about fair value measurements.
ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to
valuation techniques into three broad levels based upon how observable those
inputs are. We use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable
inputs and obtain the majority of our inputs from published objective sources or
third party market participants. We incorporate the impact of nonperformance
risk, including credit risk, into our fair value measurements. The fair value
hierarchy established by ASC 820 gives the highest priority of Level 1 to
unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
and the lowest priority of Level 3 to unobservable inputs. We categorize our
fair value financial instruments based upon the objectivity of the inputs and
how observable those inputs are. The three levels of inputs as defined in ASC
820 are described further as follows:
Level 1 –
Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
as of the reporting date. Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices that are
included in Level 1. Level 2 includes financial instruments that are actively
traded but are valued using models or other valuation methodologies. We consider
the over the counter (“OTC”) commodity and interest rate swaps in our portfolio
to be Level 2. Level 3 – Inputs that are not directly observable for the asset
or liability and are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.
Level 3 includes financial instruments that are not actively traded and have
little or no observable data for input into industry standard models. Certain
OTC derivatives that trade in less liquid markets or contain limited observable
model inputs are currently included in Level 3. As of September 30, 2010 and
December 31, 2009, our Level 3 derivative assets and liabilities consisted
entirely of OTC commodity put and call options.
Financial
assets and liabilities that are categorized in Level 3 may later be reclassified
to the Level 2 category at the point we are able to obtain sufficient binding
market data or the interpretation of Level 2 criteria is modified in practice to
include non-binding market corroborated data. Effective January 1, 2010, we
adopted ASU 2010-06 “Fair Value Measurements and
Disclosures.” ASU 2010-06 requires detailed disclosures of significant
transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 categories and the reasons for those
transfers. We had no such transfers during the nine months ended September 30,
2010.
-13-
Our
Treasury/Risk Management group calculates the fair value of our commodity and
interest rate swaps and options. We compare these fair value amounts to the fair
value amounts that we receive from the counterparties on a monthly basis. Any
differences are resolved and any required changes are recorded prior to the
issuance of our financial statements.
The model
we utilize to calculate the fair value of our commodity derivative instruments
is a standard option pricing model. Inputs to the option pricing models include
fixed monthly commodity strike prices and volumes from each specific contract,
commodity prices from commodity forward price curves, volatility and interest
rate factors and time to expiry. Model inputs are obtained from our
counterparties and third party data providers and are verified to published data
where available (e.g., NYMEX). Additional inputs to our Level 3 derivatives
include option volatility, forward commodity prices and risk-free interest rates
for present value discounting. We use the standard swap contract valuation
method to value our interest rate derivatives, and inputs include LIBOR forward
interest rates, one-month LIBOR rates and risk-free interest rates for present
value discounting.
Financial
assets and liabilities carried at fair value on a recurring basis are presented
in the table below. Our assessment of the significance of an input to its fair
value measurement requires judgment and can affect the valuation of the assets
and liabilities as well as the category within which they are
classified.

For the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, realized gains of $8.1
million and $18.8 million and unrealized losses of $26.0 million and $24.1
million, respectively, related to our derivative instruments classified as Level
3 are included in gains (losses) on commodity derivative instruments, net on the
consolidated statements of operations. For the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2009, realized gains of $0.6 million and $15.0 million and
unrealized gains of $5.4 million and unrealized losses of $42.9 million,
respectively, related to our derivative instruments classified as Level 3 are
included in gains (losses) on commodity derivative instruments, net on the
consolidated statements of operations. Determination of fair values incorporates
various factors as required by ASC 820 including, but not limited to, the credit
standing of the counterparties, the impact of guarantees as well as our own
abilities to perform on our liabilities. During the three months and nine months
ended September 30, 2010 and the three months ended September 30, 2009, we had
no changes to the fair value of our derivative instruments classified as Level 3
related to purchases, sales, issuances or settlements. During the nine months
ended September 30, 2009, we had $6.0 million in settlements impacting the fair
value of our derivative instruments classified as Level 3 related to the
monetization of oil contracts, and no changes related to purchases, sales or
issuances.

Unit and Other Valuation-Based Compensation Plans
Unit-based
compensation expense for the three months and nine months ended September 30,
2010 was $5.5 million and $15.4 million, respectively, and for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 2009 was $3.5 million and $9.7 million,
respectively.
During
the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, the board of
directors of BreitBurn GP, LLC (our “General Partner”) approved the grant of
1,062 and 1,475,684 RPUs, respectively, to employees of BreitBurn Management
under our First Amended and Restated 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”). Our
outside directors were issued 3,286 and 66,486 phantom units under our LTIP
during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively.
The fair market value of the RPUs granted during 2010 for computing compensation
expense under ASC 718 “Compensation—Stock
Compensation” averaged $13.74 per unit.
During
the nine months of 2010, 510,437 Common Units were issued to employees pursuant
to grants that vested under our LTIP and 13,617 Common Units were issued to
outside directors for phantom units and distribution equivalent rights which
were granted in 2007 and vested in January 2010. Common Units issued under our
LTIP are issued net of units withheld for payment of taxes.
For the
three months and nine months ended September 30, 2010, we paid less than $0.1
million and $0.1 million, respectively, for various liability-classified
compensation plans. For the three months and nine months ended September 30,
2009, we paid $0 and approximately $0.1 million, respectively, in cash for
various liability-classified compensation plans. For the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 2010, we paid $1.4 million and $2.7 million in cash,
respectively, at a rate equal to the distribution paid to our unitholders, to
holders of unvested RPUs and CPUs. For the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 2009, we paid $0 and approximately $0.7 million, respectively, at
a rate equal to the distribution paid to our unitholders, to holders of unvested
RPUs and CPUs.
As of
September 30, 2010, we had $32.4 million of total unrecognized compensation
costs for all outstanding plans. This amount is expected to be recognized over
the period from October 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012.
For
detailed information on our various compensation plans, see Note 17 to the
consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report.

Commitments and Contingencies
Surety
Bonds and Letters of Credit
In the
normal course of business, we have performance obligations that are secured, in
whole or in part, by surety bonds or letters of credit. These obligations
primarily cover self-insurance and other programs where governmental
organizations require such support. These surety bonds and letters of credit are
issued by financial institutions and are required to be reimbursed by us if
drawn upon. At September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, we had various surety
bonds for $10.9 million and $10.6 million, respectively. At September 30, 2010
and December 31, 2009, we had approximately $0.3 million in letters of credit
outstanding.

Subsequent Events
Senior
Notes Due 2020
On
October 6, 2010, we and BreitBurn Finance Corporation (the “Issuers”), and
certain of our subsidiaries, as guarantors (the “Guarantors”), issued $305
million in aggregate principal amount of 8.625% Senior Notes due 2020 (the
“Notes”). The Notes were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws, and unless so
registered, the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States except
pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the
Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The Notes were sold
pursuant to a private placement exemption from the Securities Act to a group of
initial purchasers (“Initial Purchasers”) and then resold to qualified
institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to
persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation 5 under the Securities
Act. We received net proceeds of approximately $291.4 million (after deducting
estimated fees and offering expenses). We used $290 million of the net proceeds
to repay amounts outstanding under our bank credit facility. In connection with
the Notes, we incurred financing fees and expenses of approximately $8.6
million, which will be amortized over the life of the Notes. The $5 million
discount will also be amortized over the life of the Notes.
In
connection with the issuance of the Notes, we entered into a Registration Rights
Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Guarantors and Initial
Purchasers. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Issuers and the
Guarantors shall cause to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a
registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange the Notes for
substantially identical notes that are registered under the Securities Act. The
Issuers and the Guarantors will use their commercially reasonable efforts to
cause such exchange offer registration statement to become effective under the
Securities Act. In addition, the Issuers and the Guarantors will use their
commercially reasonable efforts to cause the exchange offer to be consummated
not later than 400 days after October 6, 2010. Under some circumstances, in lieu
of, or in addition to, a registered exchange offer, the Issuers and the
Guarantors have agreed to file a shelf registration statement with respect to
the Notes. The Issuers and the Guarantors are required to pay additional
interest if they fail to comply with their obligations to register the Notes
within the specified time periods.
Credit
Facility
On
October 5, 2010, the borrowing base under our Second Amended and Restated Credit
Agreement was reaffirmed at $735 million. As a result of the completion of the
Notes offering, our borrowing base was automatically reduced from $735 million
to $658.8 million.
Additional
Subsequent Events
On
October 4, 2010, we entered into crude oil fixed price swap contracts for 500
Bbl/d for the period January 2011 to March 2011 at $83.90 per Bbl, 500 Bbl/d for
April 2011 to December 2014 at $88.00 per Bbl and 500 Bbl/d for the period April
2011 to December 2014 at $87.75 per Bbl. On November 2, 2010, we entered into a
natural gas swap contract for 5,000 MMBtu/d for 2013 at $5.25 per
MMBtu.
On
October 29, 2010, we announced a cash distribution to unitholders for the third
quarter of 2010 at the rate of $0.3900 per Common Unit, to be paid on November
12, 2010.
In
October 2010, Quicksilver sold 0.65 million Common Units, resulting in
Quicksilver’s ownership being reduced to approximately 15.7 million Common
Units, and with that sale, Quicksilver now owns approximately 29 percent of our
Common Units.

Condensed
Consolidating Financial Information
BreitBurn
Energy Partners L.P. (the “Partnership,” “we,” “us” or “our”), BreitBurn Finance
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (together with the Partnership, the
“Issuers”), and certain of our 100% owned subsidiaries, as guarantors (the
“Guarantors”), entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with
the Initial Purchasers as defined therein, pursuant to which the Issuers agreed
to sell $305 million in aggregate principal amount of the Issuers’ 8.625% Senior
Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”). The Notes were offered and sold in private
placements to qualified institutional buyers in the United States in reliance on
Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
In
connection with the issuance of the Notes, we entered into a registration rights
agreement requiring us to file an exchange offer registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to an offer to
exchange the Notes for substantially identical notes that are registered under
the Securities Act of 1933. Certain, but not all, of our subsidiaries have
issued full, unconditional and joint and several guarantees of the Notes, will
guarantee the exchange offer notes and may guarantee future issuances of debt
securities, in accordance with Rule 3-10(d) of Regulation S-X.
We are,
therefore, presenting condensed consolidating financial information as of
September 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 and for the three months and nine
months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 on a parent/co-issuer, guarantor
subsidiaries, non-guarantor subsidiaries, eliminating entries, and consolidated
basis. Eliminating entries presented are necessary to combine the
parent/co-issuer, the guarantor subsidiaries and the non-guarantor subsidiaries.
For purposes of the following tables, we are referred to as “Parent” and the
“Guarantor Subsidiaries” are all of our subsidiaries other than BreitBurn Energy
Partners I, L.P (“BEPI”, the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiary”) and our wholly owned
subsidiary, BreitBurn Collingwood Utica LLC, formed in September 2010 (together
the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). We hold a 99 percent limited partner interest
in BEPI.
BreitBurn
Finance Corporation, our wholly-owned subsidiary, was organized for the sole
purpose of being a co-issuer of certain of our indebtedness, including the
Notes. BreitBurn Finance Corporation has no operations and no revenue other than
as may be incidental to its activities as co-issuer of our
indebtedness.
