1.	Operations and Organization:

ETP Retail Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (the “Company”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ETP formed in May 2014. In June 2014, the equity interests in multiple entities were contributed to the Company, including (a) 100% of the membership interests in Sunoco LLC, (b) a 99% membership interest in ETC M-A Acquisition, which owned 100% of the membership interests in MACS and (c) a non-controlling membership interest in PES comprising 33% of PES’ outstanding common units (collectively, the “Contributed Businesses”).

Sunoco LLC was formed by Sunoco in June 2014, at which time Sunoco contributed certain retail assets (the “Contributed Assets”) of its subsidiaries to Sunoco LLC. Pursuant to the contribution agreement, Sunoco contributed substantially all of its wholesale motor fuel distribution business which included:

•dealer, distributor and fuel supply agreements,

•fuel supply agreements to distribute motor fuel to Sunoco convenience stores and other retail fuel outlets,

•real property owned in fee,

•leases and subleases under which it was a tenant, and

•leases and subleases under which it was a landlord.

All of the Contributed Assets were recorded at book value as this transaction was considered to be a reorganization of entities under common control. As discussed above, Sunoco contributed its interest in Sunoco LLC to the Company in June 2014. Sunoco was acquired by ETP in October 2012.

In October 2014, Sunoco LP, a publicly traded master limited partnership, acquired MACS from ETC M-A Acquisition in a transaction valued at $768 million (the “MACS Transaction”). The transaction included company-operated retail convenience stores and dealer-operated and consignment sites, which had originally been acquired by ETC M-A Acquisition in October 2013. The consideration paid by Sunoco LP consisted of 3,983,540 Sunoco LP common units and $556 million in cash.

In April 2015, Sunoco LP acquired a 31.58% equity interest and 50.1% voting interest in Sunoco LLC from the Company for $816 million (the “Sunoco LLC Transaction”). Sunoco LP paid $775 million in cash and issued 795,482 Sunoco LP common units to the Company. As a result of the Sunoco LLC Transaction, the Company no longer has a controlling interest in Sunoco LLC, therefore all of the Sunoco LLC operations were deconsolidated as of April 1, 2015.

Effective January 1, 2016, ETP contributed 100% of the equity interests in Sunoco Retail to the Company. Sunoco Retail’s assets included (i) the retail assets and the ethanol plant located in Fulton, NY formerly owned by Sunoco R&M, (ii) the retail assets formerly owned by Atlantic Refining and Marketing Corp; and (iii) 100% of the membership interests in Sunmarks LLC.

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company contributed to Sunoco LP the remaining 68.42% membership interest and 49.9% voting interest in Sunoco LLC and 100% of the membership interest in Sunoco Retail for $2.2 billion in cash (including working capital) and the issuance to the Company of 5,710,922 Sunoco LP common units (the “Sunoco Retail Transaction”). Concurrently with the execution of the transaction, the Company distributed the $2.2 billion in cash to Sunoco R&M and Atlantic Refining & Marketing Corp in the amount of $2 billion and $0.2 billion, respectively (the “R&M and Atlantic Distribution”). In exchange for the R&M and Atlantic Distribution, Sunoco R&M and Atlantic Refining & Marketing Corp agreed to provide support to the Company related to the Company’s guarantee of the Term Loan Facility.

Through its membership interest in Sunoco LLC, the Company was primarily engaged in the wholesale distribution of motor fuels to Sunoco R&M and third parties in the United States. Sunoco R&M operated convenience stores and retail fuel outlets under the proprietary Sunoco brand, primarily in the east coast and southeast regions of the United States. Through its membership interest in Sunoco LLC, the Company also distributed motor fuel to Sunoco-branded retail fuel outlets operated by third parties under long-term contracts and supplied other commercial customers on a spot or short-term contract basis.

At September 30, 2016, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries owned the following:


•	6,506,404 Sunoco LP common units.


•	3,983,540 Sunoco LP common units via a 99% membership interest in ETC M-A Acquisition; and


•	a non-controlling membership interest in PES comprising 33% of PES’ outstanding common units.

2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited financial information included in this Form 10-Q has been prepared on the accrual basis of accounting in conformity with GAAP. In the opinion of the Company’s management, such financial information reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and the results of operations for such interim periods in accordance with GAAP. All intercompany items and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

Sunoco allocated various corporate overhead expenses to the Contributed Assets based on percentage of property, plant and equipment, cost of goods sold, margin and headcount. These allocations are not necessarily indicative of the cost that the Contributed Assets would have incurred by operating as an independent stand-alone entity. As such, the consolidated financial statements may not fully reflect what the Contributed Assets’ financial position, results of operations and cash flows would have been had the Contributed Assets operated as a stand-alone company during the periods presented.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (“ASU 2015-02”), which changed the requirements for consolidations analysis. Under ASU 2015-02, reporting entities are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2016, and the adoption did not impact the Companys’s financial position or results of operations.

Cash

The Company considers cash and cash equivalents to include investments with original maturities of three months or less.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

The Company owns interests in Sunoco LP and PES that are accounted for by the equity method for which the Company exercises significant influence over, but does not control, the investee’s operating and financial policies.

Revenue Recognition

During the periods presented, the Company derived revenue from the sale of fuel. Revenue was recognized at the time of sale or when fuel was delivered to the customer.

Refined product exchange transactions, which are entered into primarily to acquire refined products of a desired quantity or at a desired location, are netted in cost of products sold in the consolidated statements of operations.

Motor Fuel Taxes

Consumer excise taxes on sales of refined products are excluded from both revenues and costs and expenses in the consolidated statements of operations, with no effect on net income.

Income Taxes

Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method as if the Company were a separate taxpayer during the period that its operations were included as part of a federal consolidated tax return filing group with its parent company. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities of the Company are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rate is recognized in earnings in the period that includes the enactment date.

The accompanying notes are an integral part of these consolidated financial statements.

Valuation allowances are established when necessary to reduce deferred tax assets to the amounts more likely than not to be realized. The determination of the provision for income taxes requires significant judgment, use of estimates, and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. Significant judgment is required in assessing the timing and amounts of deductible and taxable items and the probability of sustaining uncertain tax positions. The benefits of uncertain tax positions are recorded in the financial statements only after determining a more-likely-than-not probability that the uncertain tax positions will withstand challenge, if any, from taxing authorities. Then, the tax benefit recognized is the largest amount of benefit, determined on a cumulative probability basis, which is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. When facts and circumstances change, the Company reassesses these probabilities and record any changes through the provision for income taxes.

Under the separate entity method, the Company is assumed to file a separate return with the taxing authority, thereby reporting its taxable income or loss and paying the applicable tax to or receiving the appropriate refund from its parent. However, since there is no tax-sharing agreement in place between the Company and its parent, any taxes payable or receivable on current taxable income or loss at the end of each reporting date is treated as a capital contribution or dividend.

The Company’s investment in PES is treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. Since income taxes are not provided for partnerships, no income taxes are reflected in the financial statements for those operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts recorded for advances to affiliated companies and accrued and other current liabilities in the consolidated financial statements approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of the instruments.

3. Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates:

PES

The Company’s investment in PES consists of a non-controlling membership interest in PES comprising 33% of PES’ outstanding common units. PES is a joint venture with The Carlyle Group, L.P. (“The Carlyle Group”), which owns two crude oil refining facilities in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and an adjacent crude oil rail unloading terminal.

Sunoco LP

At September 30, 2016, the Company’s investment in Sunoco LP consists of 10,489,944 Sunoco LP common units, representing approximately 11% of the total outstanding Sunoco LP common units at September 30, 2016.

ETP Retail Holdings Guarantee of Sunoco LP Notes

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Introduction

ETP Retail Holdings, LLC (the “Company”) is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of ETP formed in May 2014. In June 2014, the equity interests in multiple entities were contributed to the Company, including (a) 100% of the membership interests in Sunoco LLC, (b) a 99% membership interest in ETC M-A Acquisition, which owned 100% of the membership interests in MACS and (c) a non-controlling membership interest in PES comprising 33% of PES’ outstanding common units.

In October 2014, Sunoco LP, a publicly traded master limited partnership, acquired MACS from ETC M-A Acquisition. The transaction included company-operated retail convenience stores and dealer-operated and consignment sites, which had originally been acquired by ETC M-A Acquisition in October 2013.

In April 2015, Sunoco acquired a 31.58% equity interest and a 50.1% voting interest in Sunoco LLC from the Company. As a result of the transaction, the Company no longer has a controlling interest in Sunoco LLC; therefore, all of the Sunoco LLC operations were deconsolidated as of April 1, 2015.

Effective January 1, 2016, ETP contributed 100% of the equity interests in Sunoco Retail to the Company. Immediately prior to this contribution, Sunoco Retail’s assets included (i) the retail assets and the ethanol plant located in Fulton, NY formerly owned by Sunoco R&M, (ii) the retail assets formerly owned by Atlantic Refining; and (iii) 100% of the membership interests in Sunmarks LLC.

Effective January 1, 2016, the Company contributed to Sunoco LP the remaining 68.42% membership interest in Sunoco LLC and 100% of the membership interest in Sunoco Retail (described below). Prior to this transaction, the Company, through its interest in Sunoco LLC, was primarily engaged in the wholesale distribution of motor fuels to Sunoco R&M and third parties in the United States. Sunoco R&M operated convenience stores and retail fuel outlets under the proprietary Sunoco brand, primarily in the east coast and southeast regions of the United States. Through its membership interest in Sunoco LLC, the Company also distributed motor fuel to Sunoco-branded retail fuel outlets operated by third parties under long-term contracts. Through its membership interest in Sunoco LLC, the Company also supplied other commercial customers on a spot or short-term contract basis.

At September 30, 2016, the Company owned the following:


•	6,506,404 Sunoco LP common units.


•	3,983,540 Sunoco LP common units via a 99% membership interest in ETC M-A Acquisition; and


•	a non-controlling membership interest in PES comprising 33% of PES’ outstanding common units.
