FRONTIER OIL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
1. Financial Statement Presentation
     The interim condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Frontier Oil Corporation (“FOC”), a Wyoming corporation, and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, collectively referred to as “Frontier” or “the Company.” The Company is an energy company engaged in crude oil refining and wholesale marketing of refined petroleum products (the “refining operations”). Except as otherwise noted herein, these financial statements were prepared as of June 30, 2011 as though the Company was an independent entity without regard to the July 1, 2011 merger with Holly Corporation (see Note 2 “Holly Corporation Merger”).
     The Company operates refineries (“the Refineries”) in Cheyenne, Wyoming and El Dorado, Kansas. The Company owns Ethanol Management Company (“EMC”), a products terminal and blending facility located near Denver, Colorado. The Company also owns a refined products pipeline which runs from Cheyenne, Wyoming to Sidney, Nebraska and the associated refined products terminal and truck rack at Sidney, Nebraska. The Company utilizes the equity method of accounting for investments in entities in which it has the ability to exercise significant influence. Entities in which the Company has the ability to exercise control are consolidated. All of the operations of the Company are in the United States, with its marketing efforts focused in the Rocky Mountain and Plains States regions of the United States. The Rocky Mountain region includes the states of Colorado, Wyoming, western Nebraska, Montana and Utah, and the Plains States include the states of Kansas, Oklahoma, eastern Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota and South Dakota. The Company purchases crude oil to be refined and markets the refined petroleum products produced, including various grades of gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, asphalt, chemicals and petroleum coke. The operations of refining and marketing of petroleum products are considered part of one reporting segment.
     These financial statements have been prepared by the Company without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and include all adjustments (comprised of only normal recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The Company believes that the disclosures contained herein are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010. These interim financial statements are not indicative of annual results.
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Subsequent Events
     The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the financial statements were issued.
Earnings per share
     The Company computes basic earnings or loss per share (“EPS”) by dividing net income or loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. No adjustments to income are used in the calculation of basic EPS. Diluted EPS includes the effects of potentially dilutive shares, principally common stock options and unvested restricted stock and performance stock units outstanding during the period. The basic and diluted average shares outstanding were as follows:
                                 
    Six Months Ended     Three Months Ended  
    June 30,     June 30,  
    2011     2010     2011     2010  
Basic
    104,812,901       104,065,946       105,043,369       104,196,131  
Diluted
    105,980,579       105,315,679       106,292,427       105,578,151  
     For the six and three months ended June 30, 2010, 434,793 outstanding stock options that could potentially dilute EPS in future years were not included in the computation of diluted EPS as they were anti-dilutive. As of June 30, 2011, all stock options had either been exercised or expired.
     The Company’s Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $0.28 per share of common stock in February 2011 that was paid in March 2011 and quarterly cash dividends of $0.06 per share of common stock in February 2011 and June 2011, which were paid in March 2011 and June 2011, respectively. As of June 30, 2011, the Company had $397.4 million and $409.2 million available to pay dividends under the restricted payments basket of its 6.875% Senior Notes and 8.5% Senior Notes, respectively (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) covenants.

Foreign currency transactions
     The Company at times has receivables and payables denominated in Canadian dollars from certain crude oil purchases and related taxes on such purchases. These amounts are accounted for in accordance with GAAP on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet by translating the balances at the applicable exchange rates until they are settled. The corresponding gain or loss is recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, the Company recognized a loss of $1.1 million and $432,000, respectively, due to the translation of its foreign denominated assets and liabilities. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recognized gains of $137,000 and $176,000, respectively.
Reclassifications
     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. The Company has reclassified turnaround and catalyst amortization on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income from “Refinery operating expenses, excluding depreciation” to “Depreciation, amortization and accretion” to be more consistent with industry peers. The reclassifications have no effect on previously reported operating income loss or net income. In addition, the Company has reflected the turnaround and catalyst costs paid as a separate line on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The reclassifications have no effect on previously reported cash provided by operating activities.
Related Party Transactions
     During the first quarter of 2010, the Company made a relocation-related loan to an officer of one of its subsidiaries in the amount of $120,000 with a term of one year. The Company accounted for this balance in “Other Receivables” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2010. During the second quarter of 2011, the officer repaid the loan.
New accounting pronouncements
     In January 2010, the FASB issued ASU 2010-06, which amended ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.” New disclosures included in this ASU require the Company to disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and the related reasoning for the transfer. Also included in the new disclosure requirements is the separate presentation of purchases, sales, issuances and settlements on a gross basis in the reconciliation for significant unobservable inputs, or Level 3 inputs. Further, this ASU clarifies existing fair value disclosures about the level of disaggregation and about inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value for either Level 2 or Level 3 measurements. Finally, this ASU amends guidance on employers’ disclosures about postretirement benefit plan assets under ASC 715 to change terminology from major categories of assets to classes of assets and how to determine appropriate classes to present fair value disclosures. The new disclosures and clarifications of existing disclosures were effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the rollforward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. These Level 3 specific disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the disclosures required for the Company during the first quarter of 2010 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures. The additional disclosures required for 2011 related to Level 3 fair value measurements did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.
2. Holly Corporation Merger
     On February 21, 2011, the Company entered into a definitive merger agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holly Corporation (“Holly”) and Holly under which the Company and the Holly subsidiary would combine in an all-stock merger of equals transaction. The merger was completed on July 1, 2011. Under the terms of the merger agreement, the Company’s shareholders received 0.4811 Holly shares for each share of the Company’s common stock. Upon closing of the transaction, former Holly shareholders owned approximately 51 percent and the Company’s former shareholders owned approximately 49 percent of the combined company. As part of the merger, on July 1, 2011, both Holly and Frontier cancelled their revolving credit facilities and a single credit facility was entered into by HollyFrontier Corporation. Subsequent to the merger, on July 1, 2011, Frontier merged with and into HollyFrontier Corporation.
3. Inventories
     Inventories of crude oil, unfinished products and all finished products are recorded at the lower of cost on a LIFO basis or market, which is determined using current estimated selling prices. Crude oil includes both domestic and foreign crude oil volumes at its cost and associated freight and other costs. Unfinished products (work in process) include any crude oil that has entered into the refining process, and other feedstocks that are not finished as far as refining operations are concerned. These include unfinished gasoline and diesel, blendstocks and other feedstocks. Finished product inventory includes saleable gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, chemicals, asphalt and other finished products. Unfinished and finished products inventory values have components of raw material, the associated raw material freight and other costs, and direct refinery operating expense allocated when refining begins relative to their proportionate market values. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company reduced certain inventory quantities resulting in a liquidation of LIFO inventory quantities carried at lower costs prevailing in prior years compared to the cost of 2011 purchases. The effect of these reductions resulted in a decrease of “Raw material, freight and other costs” of $23.3 million and an increase in “Net income” of $14.4 million after tax or $0.14

per diluted share in 2011. Refined product exchange transactions are considered asset exchanges with deliveries offset against receipts. The net exchange balance is included in inventory. Inventories of process chemicals and repairs and maintenance supplies and other are recorded at the lower of average cost or market. Crude oil inventories, unfinished product inventories and finished product inventories are used to secure financing for operations under the Company’s revolving credit facility. The components of inventory as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

7. Income Taxes
     The Company recognizes liabilities, interest and penalties for potential tax issues based on its estimate of whether, and the extent to which, additional taxes may be due as determined under ASC 740 “Income Taxes.” Although amounts the Company has paid for unresolved IRS audit issues for 2006 and 2005 totaling $18.1 million are no longer reflected as a liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, as of June 30, 2011 or December 31, 2010, the amounts are still included in the following table of unrecognized tax benefits. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits, excluding accrued interest and the federal income tax benefit of state contingencies is as follows:

     Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. As of June 30, 2011, 6,332,393 shares were available to be awarded under the Company’s Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) assuming maximum payout is achieved on the contingently issuable awards made in 2009, 2010 and 2011 (see “Contingently Issuable Awards” below). For purposes of determining compensation expense, forfeitures are estimated at the time Awards are granted based on historical average forfeiture rates and the group of individuals receiving those Awards. The Plan provides that the source of shares for Awards may be either newly issued shares or treasury shares. For the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, treasury shares were re-issued for stock options exercised and restricted stock awards. As of June 30, 2011, there was $25.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the Plan, including costs for restricted stock and performance-based awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.05 years. However, the vesting of a majority of the restricted stock and performance-based awards was accelerated to July 1, 2011 when the HollyFrontier merger closed.

     The total grant date fair value of restricted shares and restricted stock units which vested during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $10.2 million and $12.0 million, respectively. The total fair value at vesting of restricted shares and restricted stock during the six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 was $19.1 million and $8.4 million, respectively. The Company realized $7.3 million of income tax benefit for the vestings during the six months ended June 30, 2011, and increased the Company’s APIC pool by $8.9 million. The Company realized $3.2 million of income tax benefits related to the vestings during the six months ended June 30, 2010, of which $3.6 million decreased its APIC pool.
     In March 2011, following certification by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors that the specified performance criteria of the Company’s return of capital employed versus that of a defined peer group had been achieved for the year ended December 31, 2010, the Company issued 377,294 shares of restricted stock in connection with the February 2010 grant of contingently issuable stock unit awards. The following tables summarize the vesting schedules of the 377,294 stock unit awards converted to restricted stock and the 342,360 shares of restricted stock shares and units granted during the six months ended June 30, 2011.

     As of July 1, 2011 all outstanding restricted stock awards and restricted stock units totaling 829,210 shares , excluding the March 24, 2011 and June 30, 2011 restricted stock award grants and the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer restricted shares, vested and were converted to HollyFrontier common stock at 0.4811 per share. In addition, approximately 86,750 shares of the Company’s 2011 restricted stock awards, granted on March 24, 2011 (which converted to 41,728 HollyFrontier restricted shares) will have accelerated vestings for certain individuals by December 31, 2011 upon their termination of employment.
     Contingently Issuable Awards. During the six months ended June 30, 2011, the Company granted 295,000 stock unit awards contingent upon certain share price performance versus the Company’s peers being met over a three-year period ending on December 31, 2013. Depending on achievement of the market-based performance goal, awards earned could be between 0% and 125% of the base number of market-based stock units. If any of the market-based performance goals are achieved and certified by the Compensation Committee, these stock unit awards (or a portion thereof) will be converted into stock. The stock unit awards were valued at approximately eighty-eight percent of market value on the date of grant and are being amortized to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the nominal vesting period, adjusted for retirement-eligible employees, as required under GAAP. Currently 101,125 of these stock unit awards are estimated to be cancelled and converted into the right to receive 0.4811 fully vested shares of HollyFrontier common stock by December 31, 2011 related to the expected termination of certain employees.

     In February 2011, following certification by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors that the specified share price performance criteria in connection with the 2008 grant of contingently issuable stock unit awards to be met over a three-year period ended December 31, 2010 had been achieved, the Company issued 119,596 shares of stock to certain employees of the Company. The total grant date fair value of these performance awards was $3.8 million and the total fair value of these shares at issuance was $3.2 million. The Company recognized $1.2 million of income tax benefit related to these vestings, and a reduction of the Company’s APIC pool by $578,000.
     As of June 30, 2011, the Company also had outstanding (net of forfeitures) 230,287 and 301,830 contingently issuable stock unit awards issued in 2009 and 2010, respectively, to be earned should certain share price criteria be met over a three-year period ending December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Depending on achievement of the performance goal, awards earned could be between 0% and 125% of the base number of performance stock units. If the market performance goal is achieved and certified by the Compensation Committee, the stock unit awards (or a portion thereof) would have been converted into stock. These contingently issuable stock unit awards were cancelled in full on July 1, 2011 and a number of shares equal to 125% of the number of contingently issuable stock units (665,173) were converted into 0.4811 fully vested shares of HollyFrontier common stock.
     When common stock dividends are declared by the Company’s Board of Directors, dividend equivalents (on the stock unit awards) and dividends (once the stock unit awards are converted to restricted stock) are accrued on the contingently issuable stock units and restricted stock but are not paid until the restricted stock vests (except for restricted stock awards granted in 2011 which will receive dividends as they are payable).
10. Employee Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plans
     The Company provides post-retirement healthcare and other benefits to certain employees of the El Dorado Refinery. Eligible employees are employees hired by the El Dorado Refinery before certain defined dates and who satisfy certain age and service requirements. Employees hired on or before November 16, 1999 qualify for retirement healthcare insurance until eligible for Medicare. Employees hired on or before January 1, 1995 are also eligible for Medicare supplemental insurance. These plans were unfunded as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. The post-retirement healthcare plan requires retirees to pay between 20% and 40% of total healthcare costs based on age and length of service. The plan’s prescription drug benefits are at least equivalent to Medicare Part D benefits.
     The following tables set forth the net periodic benefit costs recognized for these benefit plans in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income:

11. Fair Value Measurement
     The three-level valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follows:
Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
     A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
     The following tables present information about the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques utilized by the Company to determine such fair value (in thousands):

Foreign exchange contracts
          266             266  
Interest rate contracts
          929             929  
     As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the commodity contracts measured under Level 1 are NYMEX crude oil contracts and thus are valued using quoted market prices at the end of each period. The foreign exchange contracts at December 31, 2010 were valued using month-end exchange rates and the variation from each contracts’ strike price. Due to the variety of sources available to price month-end exchange rates, these contracts were deemed to have Level 2 inputs. The commodity contracts measured under Level 2 at December 31, 2010 were valued using pricing models based on NYMEX crude oil contracts. The interest rate swap contracts measured under Level 2 at December 31, 2010 were valued using a mark-to-market valuation that took into consideration anticipated cash flows from the transactions using market prices and other economic data, and assumptions were used to value the swaps. Given the degree of varying assumptions used to value the swaps, their valuation was deemed as having Level 2 inputs.
     The fair value of the Company’s Senior Notes was estimated based on quotations obtained from broker-dealers who make markets in these and similar securities. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying amounts of the Company’s 6.875% Senior Notes were $150.0 million, and the estimated fair values were $157.1 million and $152.6 million, respectively. At June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the carrying amounts of the Company’s 8.5% Senior Notes were $197.9 million and $197.8 million ($200.0 million less the unamortized discount of $2.1 million and $2.2 million, respectively), and the estimated fair values were $213.5 million and $212.8 million, respectively. For cash and cash equivalents, the carrying amounts at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010 of $872.6 million and $558.6 million, respectively, are reasonable estimates of fair value.
12. Price and Interest Risk Management Activities
     The Company, at times, enters into derivative contracts to manage its price exposure to its inventory positions, purchases of foreign crude oil and consumption of natural gas in the refining process or to fix margins on certain future production or to hedge interest rate risk. The commodity derivative contracts used by the Company may take the form of futures contracts, forward contracts, collars or price or interest rate swaps. The Company, also at times, enters into foreign exchange contracts to manage its exposure to foreign currency fluctuations on its purchases of foreign crude oil. The Company believes that there is minimal credit risk with respect to its counterparties. The Company’s commodity derivative contracts and foreign exchange contracts, while economic hedges, are not designated as cash flow or fair value hedges and thus are accounted for under mark-to-market accounting and gains and losses recorded directly to earnings. The Company has derivative contracts which it holds directly and also derivative contracts, in connection with its crude oil purchase and sale contract, previously held on Frontier’s behalf by BNP Paribas Energy Trading GP and BNP Paribas Energy Trading Canada Corp. (collectively, “BNP”). For additional fair value disclosures relating to the Company’s derivative contracts, see Note 11, “Fair Value Measurement.” As of June 30, 2011, the Company had the following outstanding commodity derivative contracts:

Commodity   Number of barrels  
    (in thousands)  
Crude oil contracts to hedge excess intermediate, finished product and crude oil inventory
    930  
     As of June 30, 2011, the Company had terminated the two $75.0 million interest rate swaps totaling $150.0 million of notional amount, that effectively converted a portion of interest expense from fixed to variable rate debt. The Company received total proceeds from the termination of $676,000. Under these swap contracts, interest on each of the $75.0 million notional amount was computed using 30-day LIBOR plus a spread of 5.34% and 5.335%, which equaled an effective interest rate of 5.59% and 5.58%, respectively, as of the transaction date. Interest was paid semiannually on the swap contracts, April 1 and October 1, until maturity. The interest income received by the Company on these swap contracts reduced “Interest expense and other financing costs” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income by $725,000 and $365,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011, respectively, and $717,000 and $345,000 for the six and three months ended June 30, 2010, respectively. The Company had no receivable as of June 30, 2011 and a receivable of $363,000 as of December 31, 2010, which is included in “Other Receivables” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance sheets.

13. Environmental
     The Company’s operations and many of its manufactured products are specifically subject to certain requirements of the Clean Air Act (“CAA”) and related state and local regulations. The 1990 amendments to the CAA contain provisions that will require capital expenditures for the production of cleaner transportation fuels and the installation of certain air pollution control devices at the Refineries during the next several years as discussed below.
     The Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has promulgated regulations requiring the phase-in of gasoline sulfur standards, which began January 1, 2004 and continued through 2008, with special provisions for small business refiners such as Frontier. As allowed by subsequent regulation, Frontier elected to extend its small refinery interim gasoline sulfur standard at each of the Refineries until January 1, 2011 by complying with the highway ultra low sulfur diesel standard by June 2006. The Company has reevaluated its initial strategy of capital investment at its Cheyenne Refinery to meet the new gasoline sulfur standard and is now planning to comply with these requirements starting January 1, 2011 for approximately five years through the redemption of gasoline sulfur credits. For long-term compliance, the Company expects to utilize internally generated credits and purchased credits and spend approximately $40.0 million ($18.6 million incurred as of June 30, 2011) for the FCCU gasoline hydrotreater project comprised of new process unit capacity and intermediate inventory handling equipment. In addition, new federal benzene regulations and anticipated state requirements for reduction in gasoline Reid

12


 

Vapor Pressure (“RVP”) suggest that additional capital expenditures may be required for environmental compliance projects. The merger with a subsidiary of Holly on July 1, 2011 resulted in Frontier’s loss of small refiner status and requires expedited compliance with the federal benzene regulations by January 1, 2014. The Company is presently evaluating projects and the total potential cost in connection with an overall compliance strategy for the Cheyenne Refinery. Total capital expenditures for the El Dorado Refinery to comply with the final gasoline sulfur standard were $95.0 million, including capitalized interest, and were completed in the fourth quarter of 2010. The $95.0 million of expenditures primarily related to the El Dorado Refinery’s gasoil hydrotreater revamp project. The gasoil hydrotreater revamp project addressed most of the El Dorado Refinery’s modifications needed to achieve gasoline sulfur compliance.
     The Company is a holder of gasoline sulfur credits retained from prior generation years at both the Cheyenne and the El Dorado Refineries. There were $2.5 million of sulfur credit sales during the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 recorded in “Other revenue” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income and none in 2010.
     In March 2009, settlement agreements associated with the EPA’s National Petroleum Refining Enforcement Initiative were finalized and are now in effect. The Company currently estimates that, in addition to the flare gas recovery systems previously installed at each facility, capital expenditures totaling approximately $37.0 million ($717,000 incurred as of June 30, 2011) at the Cheyenne Refinery and $6.0 million ($1.5 million incurred as of June 30, 2011) at the El Dorado Refinery will need to be incurred prior to 2017. The Company may also choose to incur additional costs at the Cheyenne Refinery and at the El Dorado Refinery to comply with certain requirements of the agreement if such projects are determined to be the most cost effective compliance strategy. Notwithstanding these settlements, many of these same expenditures are required for the Company to comply with preexisting regulatory requirements or to implement its planned facility expansions. Consequently, the costs associated with these other projects are not included in the totals above. In addition, the settlement agreement provides for stipulated penalties for violations, which are periodically reported by the Company. Stipulated penalties under the decree are not automatic but must be requested by one of the agency signatories. As stipulated penalties are requested, the Company will separately report that matter and the amount of the proposed penalty, if material.
     The EPA has promulgated regulations to enact the provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 regarding mandated blending of renewable fuels in gasoline. The Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 significantly increased the amount of renewable fuels that had been required by the 2005 legislation. The Company, as a small refiner, was exempt until January 1, 2011 from these requirements at which time it began incurring additional costs in order to meet the new requirements. The Company has renewable fuels blending facilities and purchases ethanol with Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) credits attached. Ethanol RINs were created to assist in tracking compliance with these EPA regulations for the blending of renewable fuels. At June 30, 2011, the Company had an asset balance of $1.8 million comprised of RINs purchased that exceeded the Company’s liability at June 30, 2011. There were no RIN sales during the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 and $128,000 during the six and three months ended June 30, 2010 recorded in “Other revenue” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. While not yet proposed or promulgated, other pending regulation regarding the mandated use of alternative or renewable fuels and/or the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions from either transportation fuels or manufacturing processes is under consideration by the EPA. In addition, the EPA has recently determined that greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, present a danger to human health and the environment, which may result in future regulation of such gases. If greenhouse gas control regulations are promulgated, these requirements could materially impact the operations and financial position of the Company (see “Other Future Environmental Considerations” below).
     On February 26, 2007, the EPA promulgated regulations limiting the amount of benzene in gasoline. These regulations take effect for large refiners on January 1, 2011 and for small refiners, such as Frontier, on January 1, 2015. However, the merger with a subsidiary of Holly resulted in Frontier’s loss of small refiner status and requires expedited compliance with the federal benzene regulations by January 1, 2014. While not yet estimable, the Company anticipates that potentially material capital expenditures may be necessary to achieve compliance with the new regulation at its Cheyenne Refinery. Gasoline manufactured at the El Dorado Refinery typically contains benzene concentrations near the new standard. The Company therefore believes that necessary benzene compliance expenditures at the El Dorado Refinery will be substantially less than those at the Cheyenne Refinery.
     The Company owns terminals and pipelines in which various groundwater remediation and monitoring activities are underway and, as of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had total accruals of $1.2 million and $558,000, respectively. As is the case with companies engaged in similar industries, the Company faces potential exposure from future claims and lawsuits involving environmental matters, including soil and water contamination, air pollution, personal injury and property damage allegedly caused by substances that the Company may have manufactured, handled, used, released or disposed.
     Cheyenne Refinery. The Company is party to an agreement with the State of Wyoming requiring investigation and interim remediation actions at the Cheyenne Refinery’s property that may have been impacted by past operational activities. As a result of past and ongoing investigative efforts, capital expenditures and remediation of conditions found to exist have already taken place, including the completion of surface impoundment closures, waste stabilization activities and other site remediation projects. As of June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010, the Company had a $4.8 million accrual, included on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, related to the remediation program. The accrual at June 30, 2011 reflects the estimated present value of a $705,000 cost in 2011 and $690,000 in annual costs for 2012 through 2020, assuming a 3% inflation rate, ten more years of the ongoing groundwater remediation program, and discounted at a rate of 7.9%. The Company estimates a total cost of $7.8 million ($7.2 million incurred as of June 30, 2011) for the cleanup and on-going monitoring activities of a waste water treatment pond located on land adjacent to the Cheyenne Refinery which the Company

13


 

had historically leased from the landowner. Cleanup of the waste water pond pursuant to the aforementioned agreement with the State of Wyoming was completed in 2010 with various on-going monitoring for approximately two years. Depending upon information collected during the on-going monitoring, or by a subsequent administrative order or permit, additional remedial action and costs could be required.
     In October 2009, Frontier Refining Inc. (which owns the Cheyenne Refinery) was served with a Complaint from Region 8 of the EPA alleging unlawful storage of untreated or partially treated refinery wastewater in an on-site surface impoundment. To resolve this issue, the Company has entered into a negotiated settlement agreement with the EPA. Based on this agreement, the total settlement expense was $2.8 million. This comprised of a $900,000 penalty (paid in June 2010) and $1.0 million for the first phase of the pond cleaning expenses related to injunctive relief with the remaining costs being for legal expenses. Initially, the Company expected that capital costs for injunctive relief related to the removal and repair of the liner would have been incurred after June 1, 2011. However, after further analysis and review, the Company has decided to close the on-site surface impoundment by fourth quarter 2011 for an estimated cost of $1.0 million, which was accrued at June 30, 2011 and December 31, 2010. An alternative capital project related to storm water overflow, estimated at $2.8 million, is currently planned.
     The Company completed in 2007 the negotiation of a settlement of a Notice of Violation (“NOV”) from the Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (“WDEQ”) alleging non-compliance with certain refinery waste management requirements. The Company has estimated that the minimum capital cost for required corrective measures will be approximately $4.4 million and is estimated to be completed in late 2011. In addition, the Company incurred a total of $2.3 million for additional work related to the corrective measures, which was substantially completed in 2010.
     The Company has received a draft wastewater discharge permit from the WDEQ designed to renew the existing permit. This draft includes new discharge limits for selenium and chloride in addition to a requirement for more rigorous toxicity testing of the wastewater discharge. The Company is currently evaluating options to achieve compliance with the proposed limits. Costs for compliance with the new limits, which are currently proposed to become effective on January 1, 2013, are currently not estimable.
     El Dorado Refinery. The El Dorado Refinery is subject to a 1988 consent order with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (“KDHE”). Subject to the terms of the purchase and sale agreement for the El Dorado Refinery entered into between the Company and Shell Oil Products US (“Shell”), Shell is responsible for the costs of continued compliance with this order. This order, including various subsequent modifications, requires the El Dorado Refinery to continue the implementation of a groundwater management program with oversight provided by the KDHE Bureau of Environmental Remediation. More specifically, the El Dorado Refinery must continue to operate the hydrocarbon recovery well systems and containment barriers at the site and conduct sampling from monitoring wells and surface water stations. Quarterly and annual reports must also be submitted to the KDHE. The order requires that remediation activities continue until KDHE-established groundwater criteria or other criteria agreed to by the KDHE and the Refinery are met.
     In addition to the State order described above, on March 9, 2011, EPA Region 7 issued a draft Administrative Order on Consent jointly to the Company and to Shell that will eventually require investigation and potential corrective measures at the facility related to possible past releases of hazardous materials or historical waste management activities. The Company and Shell have initiated preliminary discussions with the EPA to clarify requirements, responsibilities and coordination with the pre-existing State order.
     Other Future Environmental Considerations. Recent scientific studies have suggested that emissions of certain gases commonly referred to as “greenhouse gases” or “GHG” and including carbon dioxide and methane, may be contributing to warming of the earth’s atmosphere. On April 2, 2007, in Massachusetts, et al. v. EPA, the U.S. Supreme Court held that carbon dioxide may be regulated as an “air pollutant” under the federal Clean Air Act and that the EPA must consider whether it is required to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from mobile sources such as cars and trucks. On April 17, 2009, the EPA proposed that certain greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide, present a danger to public health or welfare. The proposed “endangerment finding” was promulgated on December 7, 2009, opening the door to direct regulation of such greenhouse gases under the provisions and programs of the existing Clean Air Act. Thus, the EPA can impose restrictions on the emission of greenhouse gases even if the U.S. Congress does not adopt new legislation specifically addressing emissions of greenhouse gases. In October 2009, the EPA published a final rule requiring large emitters of greenhouse gases and certain industrial sectors to monitor and report their greenhouse gas emissions to the EPA beginning in 2011 for emissions in 2010. On November 30, 2010, the EPA published a final rule expanding its existing GHG emission reporting rule to include onshore oil and natural gas production facilities beginning for 2012 for emissions occurring after January 1, 2011. In May 2010, the EPA issued a final rule that determines which stationary sources of greenhouse gas emissions need to obtain a construction or operating permit and install the best available control technology for greenhouse gas emissions. The regulation did not identify such technologies. In response to the endangerment finding, the EPA adopted regulations that require a reduction in emissions of GHGs from motor vehicles and also could trigger permit review for GHG emission from certain stationary sources. The EPA has determined that the motor vehicle GHG emission standards triggered Clean Air Act construction and operating permit requirements for stationary sources beginning on January 2, 2011 when the motor vehicle standards took effect. In addition, the EPA has stated its intent to propose regulations in 2011 that would require utilities and refineries to limit incremental greenhouse gas emissions resulting from future facility expansions. The Agency further stated their intent to promulgate such regulations in 2012. Although it is not possible at this time to predict how legislation or new regulations that may be adopted to address greenhouse gas emissions would impact the Company’s business, any such future laws and regulations will most likely result in increased compliance costs or additional operating restrictions, and could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, including demand for the refined petroleum products that it produces.

14. Litigation
     The Company is involved in various lawsuits and regulatory actions which are incidental to its business. Before the closing of the merger between Holly and Frontier on July 1, 2011, twelve substantially similar shareholder lawsuits styled as class actions were filed in Texas and Wyoming by alleged Frontier shareholders challenging the proposed merger with Holly and naming as defendants Frontier, its board of directors and, in certain instances, Holly and a subsidiary of Holly, as aiders and abettors. On June 20, 2011, a memorandum of understanding was entered into regarding the settlement of the actions filed in Harris County, Texas. Upon entering a settlement order by the court, the lawsuits filed in that court will be dismissed with prejudice, releasing all defendants from any and all claims relating to, among other things, the merger and any disclosures made in connection therewith. In exchange for that release, Frontier provided additional disclosures requested by the plaintiffs in the action and has agreed to pay the plaintiffs’ attorney’s fees awarded by the court in an amount not to exceed $612,500. The defendants have denied and continue to deny any wrongdoing or liability with respect to all claims, events and transactions complained of in any of the lawsuits. Frontier believes that neither the claims that have been made nor the pending lawsuits will result in any material liability or have any material adverse effect upon Frontier.
15. Consolidating Financial Statements
     Frontier Holdings Inc. and its subsidiaries (“FHI”) are full and unconditional guarantors of the Company’s 6.875% Senior Notes and 8.5% Senior Notes. Presented on the following pages are the Company’s condensed consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations, and statements of cash flows as required by Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As specified in Rule 3-10, the condensed consolidating balance sheets, statements of operations, and statements of cash flows presented on the following pages meet the requirements for financial statements of the issuer and each guarantor of the notes because the guarantors are all direct or indirect 100%-owned subsidiaries of Frontier Oil Corporation, and all of the guarantees are full and unconditional on a joint and several basis. The Company files a consolidated U.S. federal income tax return and consolidated state income tax returns in the majority of states in which it does business. Accordingly, the equity in earnings of subsidiaries recorded for Frontier Oil Corporation is equal to the subsidiaries’ net income adjusted for consolidating pre-tax adjustments and for the portion of the subsidiaries’ income tax provision which is eliminated in consolidation.

For Informational Purposes:
Operating Data
     The following tables set forth the refining operating statistical information on a consolidated basis and for each Refinery for the six and three months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010. The statistical information includes the following terms:
    Charges — the quantity of crude oil and other feedstock processed through refinery process units on a bpd basis.
    Manufactured product yields — the volumes of specific materials that are obtained through the distilling of crude oil and the operations of other refinery process units on a bpd basis.
    NYMEX WTI — the benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude oil priced on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
    Average laid-in crude oil differential — the weighted average differential between the NYMEX WTI crude oil price and the composite cost of all crude oil purchased and delivered to our Refineries.
    WTI/WTS crude oil differential — the average differential between the NYMEX WTI crude oil price and the West Texas sour crude oil priced at Midland, Texas.
    Cheyenne Refinery light/heavy crude oil differential — the average differential between the NYMEX WTI crude oil price and the cost of heavy crude oil delivered to the Cheyenne Refinery.
    El Dorado Refinery light/heavy crude oil differential — the average differential between the NYMEX WTI crude oil price and the cost of heavy crude oil delivered to the El Dorado Refinery.
    Gasoline and diesel crack spreads — the average non-oxygenated gasoline and diesel net sales prices that we receive for each product less the average NYMEX WTI crude oil price.
