DEFINITIONS
Within this report, the following terms have these specific meanings:
     “Alkylation” means the reaction of propylene or butylene (olefins) with isobutane to form an iso-paraffinic gasoline (inverse of cracking).
     “Aromatic oil” is long chain oil that is highly aromatic in nature that is used to manufacture tires and in the production of asphalt.
     “BPD” means the number of barrels per calendar day of crude oil or petroleum products.
     “BPSD” means the number of barrels per stream day (barrels of capacity in a 24 hour period) of crude oil or petroleum products.
     “Black wax crude oil” is a low sulfur, low gravity crude oil produced in the Uintah Basin in Eastern Utah that has certain characteristics that require specific facilities to transport, store and refine into transportation fuels.
     “Catalytic reforming” means a refinery process which uses a precious metal (such as platinum) based catalyst to convert low octane naphtha to high octane gasoline blendstock and hydrogen. The hydrogen produced from the reforming process is used to desulfurize other refinery oils and is thea primary source of hydrogen for the refinery.
     “Cracking” means the process of breaking down larger, heavier and more complex hydrocarbon molecules into simpler and lighter molecules.
     “Crude distillation” means the process of distilling vapor from liquid crudes, usually by heating, and condensing the vapor slightly above atmospheric pressure the vaporturning it back to liquid in order to purify, fractionate or form the desired products.
     “Delayed coker unit” is a refinery unit that removes carbon from the bottom cuts of crude oil to produce unfinished light transportation fuels and petroleum coke.
     “Ethanol” means a high octane gasoline blend stock that is used to make various grades of gasoline.
     “FCC,” or fluid catalytic cracking, means a refinery process that breaks down large complex hydrocarbon molecules into smaller more useful ones using a circulating bed of catalyst at relatively high temperatures.
     “Hydrocracker” means a refinery unit that breaks down large complex hydrocarbon molecules into smaller more useful ones using a fixed bed of catalyst at high pressure and temperature with hydrogen.
     “Hydrodesulfurization” means to remove sulfur and nitrogen compounds from oil or gas in the presence of hydrogen and a catalyst at relatively high temperatures.
     “Hydrogen plant” means a refinery unit that converts natural gas and steam to high purity hydrogen, which is then used in the hydrodesulfurization, hydrocracking and isomerization processes.
     “HF alkylation,” or hydrofluoric alkylation, means a refinery process which combines isobutane and C3/C4 olefins using HF acid as a catalyst to make high octane gasoline blend stock.
     “Isomerization” means a refinery process for rearranging the structure of C5/C6 molecules without changing their size or chemical composition and is used to improve the octane of C5/C6 gasoline blendstocks.
     “LPG” means liquid petroleum gases.
     “LSG,” or low sulfur gasoline, means gasoline that contains less than 30 PPM of total sulfur.

     “Lubricant” or “lube” means a solvent neutral paraffinic product used in passenger and commercial vehicle engine oils, specialty products for metal working or heat transfer applications and other industrial applications.
     “MEK” means a lube process that separates waxy oil from non-waxy oils using methyl ethyl ketone as a solvent.
     “MMBTU” means one million British thermal units.
     “MMSCFD” means one million standard cubic feet per day.
     “MTBE” means methyl tertiary butyl ether, a high octane gasoline blend stock that is used to make various grades of gasoline.
     “Natural gasoline” means a low octane gasoline blend stock that is purchased and used to blend with other high octane stocks produced to make various grades of gasoline.
     “PPM” means parts-per-million.
     “Parafinnic oil” is a high paraffinic, high gravity oil produced by extracting aromatic oiloils and waxes from gas oil and is used in producing high-grade lubricating oils.
     “Refinery gross margin” means the difference between average net sales price and average product costs per produced barrel of refined products sold. This does not include the associated depreciation and amortization costs.
     “Reforming” means the process of converting gasoline type molecules into aromatic, higher octane gasoline blend stocks while producing hydrogen in the process.
     “Roofing flux” is produced from the bottom cut of crude oil and is the base oil used to make roofing shingles for the housing industry.
     “RFS2” or advanced renewable fuel standard is a regulatory mandate required by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 that requires 36 billion gallons of renewable fuel to be blended into transportation fuels by 2022. New mandated blending requirements for this standard became effective July 1, 2010.
     “ROSE,” or “Solvent deasphalter / residuum oil supercritical extraction,” means a refinery unit that uses a light hydrocarbon like propane or butane to extract non-asphaltene heavy oils from asphalt or atmospheric reduced crude. These deasphalted oils are then further converted to gasoline and diesel in the FCC process. The remaining asphaltenes are either sold, blended to fuel oil or blended with other asphalt as a hardener.
     “Scanfiner” is a refinery unit that removes sulfur from gasoline to produce low sulfur gasoline blendstock.
     “Sour crude oil” means crude oil containing quantities of sulfur greater than 0.4 percent by weight, while “sweet crude oil” means crude oil containing quantities of sulfur equal to or less than 0.4 percent by weight.
     “ULSD,” or ultra low sulfur diesel, means diesel fuel that contains less than 15 PPM of total sulfur.
     “Vacuum distillation” means the process of distilling vapor from liquid crudes, usually by heating, and condensing the vapor below atmospheric pressure the vaporturning it back to a liquid in order to purify, fractionate or form the desired products.

Additionally, HEP owns a 25% interest in SLC Pipeline LLC (“SLC Pipeline”), a new 95-mile crude oilintrastate pipeline joint venture (the “SLC Pipeline”).system that serves refineries in the Salt Lake City area.
We have prepared these consolidated financial statements without audit. In management’s opinion, these consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2011 and 2010 and 2009 and consolidated cash flows for the ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2011 and 2010 and 2009 in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Although certain notes and other information required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted, we believe that the disclosures in these consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20092010 filed with the SEC.
Our results of operations for the first ninethree months of 20102011 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
Accounts Receivable
Our accounts receivable consist of amounts due from customers that are primarily companies in the petroleum industry. Credit is extended based on our evaluation of the customer’s financial condition and in certain circumstances, collateral, such as a letter of credit or guarantee, is required. Credit losses are charged to income

- 10 -


when accounts are deemed uncollectible and historically have been minimal. At September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, our allowance for doubtful accounts reserve was $1.9$2.4 million.
Inventories
We use the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method of valuing inventory. Under the LIFO method, an actual valuation of inventory can only be made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Variable Interest Entities
On January 1, 2010, new accounting standards became effective that replace the previous quantitative-based risk and rewards calculation provided under GAAP with a qualitative approach in determining whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Additionally, these standards require an entity to assess on an ongoing basis whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and enhance disclosure requirements with respect to an entity’s involvement in a VIE. See Note 3 for additional information on our involvement with HEP, a consolidated VIE.
NOTE 2: Tulsa Refinery AcquisitionPending Holly Frontier Merger
On June 1, 2009,February 21, 2011, we acquired an 85,000 BPSD refinery located in Tulsa, Oklahoma (the “Tulsa Refinery west facility”) from an affiliateentered into a merger agreement providing for a “merger of Sunoco, Inc.equals” business combination of us and Frontier Oil Corporation (“Sunoco”Frontier”) for $157.8 million in cash, including crude oil, refined product. Subject to the terms and other inventories valued at $92.8 million. The refinery produces fuel products including gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel, serves markets in the Mid-Continent regionconditions of the United States and also produces specialty lubricant products that are marketed throughout North America and are distributed in Central and South America. On October 20, 2009, we sold to an affiliate of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“Plains”) a portion of the crude oil petroleum storage, and certain refining-related crude oil receiving pipeline facilities that were acquired as part of the refinery assets for $40 million. Due to our continuing involvement in these assets, this transactionmerger agreement which has been accounted for as a financing transaction. See Note 10 for additional information.
On December 1, 2009, we acquired a 75,000 BPSD refinery that is also in Tulsa, Oklahoma (the “Tulsa Refinery east facility”) from an affiliateapproved unanimously by both our and Frontier’s board of Sinclair Oil Company (“Sinclair”) for $183.3 million, including crude oil, refined product and other inventories valued at $46.4 million. The total purchase price consisted of $109.3 million in cash and 2,789,155directors, Frontier shareholders will receive 0.4811 shares of our common stock having a valuefor each share of $74 million. Additionally, we reimbursed Sinclair $8.4 million upon their completion of certain environmental projects atFrontier common stock if the refinery in July 2010. The refinery produces gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel products and also serves markets in the Mid-Continent regionmerger is completed. Completion of the United States. We aremerger is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, (i) approval by our stockholders of the issuance of our common stock to Frontier’s stockholders in connection with the processmerger, (ii) adoption of integrating the operationsmerger agreement by Frontier’s stockholders, (iii) the expiration or termination of both Tulsa Refinery facilities. This will result in the Tulsa Refineryapplicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iv) the registration statement on Form S-4 used to register the common stock to be issued as consideration for the merger having an integrated crude processing rate of 125,000 BPSD.been declared effective by the SEC and (v) the entry into a new credit facility for the combined company.
In accounting for these combined acquisitions, we recorded $20.6 million in materials and supplies, $139.2 million in crude oil and refined products inventory, $203.8 million in property, plants and equipment, $8.2 million in prepayments and other, $6.3 million in accrued liabilities and $24.4 million in other long-term liabilities. The acquired liabilities primarily relate to environmental and asset retirement obligations. Additionally, we incurred $3.1 million in costs directly related to these acquisitions that were expensed as acquisition costs in 2009.March 2011, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) granted early termination of its Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust review of the proposed merger.
NOTE 3: Holly Energy Partners
HEP, a consolidated VIE, is a publicly held master limited partnership that was formed to acquire, own and operate the petroleum product and crude oil pipeline and terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities that support our refining and marketing operations in west Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Oklahoma, Idaho and Arizona. HEP also

- 11 -


owns and operates refined product pipelines and terminals, located primarily in Texas, that service Alon USA, Inc.’s (“Alon”) refinery in Big Spring, Texas.
As of September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, we owned a 34% interest in HEP, including the 2% general partner interest. As the general partner of HEP, we have the sole ability to direct the activities of HEP that most significantly impact HEP’s economic performance. Additionally, since our obligation to absorb losses and receive benefits from HEP are significant to HEP, weWe are HEP’s primary beneficiary and therefore we consolidate HEP. See Note 17 for supplemental guarantor/non-guarantor financial information, including HEP balances included in these consolidated financial statements. All intercompany transactions with HEP are eliminated in our consolidated balances.
HEP has two primary customers (including us) and generates revenues by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil though its pipelines, by charging fees for terminalling refined products and other hydrocarbons, and storing and providing other services at its storage tanks and terminals. Under our long-term transportation agreements with HEP (discussed further below), we accounted for 81%76% of HEP’s total revenues for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2010.March 31, 2011. We do not provide financial or equity support through any liquidity arrangements and /or guarantees to HEP.
HEP has outstanding debt under a senior secured revolving credit agreement and its senior notes. With the exception of the assets of HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries and HEP’s general partner, HEP’s creditors have no recourse to our assets. Any recourse to HEP’s general partner would be limited to the extent of HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P.’s assets, which other than its investment in HEP, are not significant. Furthermore, our creditors have no recourse to the assets of HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries. See Note 10 for a description of HEP’s debt obligations.

- 11 -


We have pledged 6,000,000 of our HEP common units to collateralize certain crude oil purchases in 2011.
HEP has risk associated with its operations. If a major shipper of HEP were to terminate its contracts or fail to meet desired shipping levels for an extended period time, revenue would be reduced and HEP could suffer substantial losses to the extent that a new customer is not found. In the event that HEP incurs a loss, our operating results will reflect HEP’s loss, net of intercompany eliminations, to the extent of our ownership interest in HEP at that point in time.
2010 Acquisitions
Tulsa East / Lovington Storage Asset Transaction
On March 31, 2010, HEP acquired from us certain storage assets for $93 million, consisting of hydrocarbon storage tanks having approximately 2 million barrels of storage capacity, a rail loading rack and a truck unloading rack located at our Tulsa Refinery east facility and an asphalt loading rack facility located at our Navajo Refinery facility located in Lovington, New Mexico.

The FERC index is the change in the PPI plus a FERC adjustment factor that is reviewed periodically. Following the July 1, 2010 PPI adjustment,As of March 31, 2011, these agreements will result in minimum annualized payments to HEP of $133 million.
HEP Equity Offerings
In November 2009, HEP issued 2,185,000 of its common units priced at $35.78 per unit. Aggregate net proceeds of $74.9 million were used to fund the cash portion of HEP’s December 1, 2009 asset acquisitions, to repay outstanding borrowings under HEP’s credit agreement and for general partnership purposes.
Additionally in May 2009, HEP issued 2,192,400 of its common units priced at $27.80 per unit. Net proceeds of $58.4 million were used to repay outstanding borrowings under HEP’s credit agreement and for general partnership purposes.
NOTE 4: Financial Instruments
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities, accounts receivable, accounts payable, debt and derivative instruments. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
Debt consists of borrowings outstanding principal under HEP’s $275 million revolving credit agreement (the “HEP Credit Agreement”), our 9.875% senior notes due 2017 (the “Holly 9.875% Senior Notes”), HEP’s 6.25% senior notes due 2015 (the “HEP 6.25% Senior Notes”) and HEP’s 8.25% senior notes due 2018 (the “HEP 8.25% Senior

Notes”). The $157$182 million carrying amount of borrowings outstanding debt under HEP’s credit agreementthe HEP Credit Agreement approximates fair value as interest rates are reset frequently using current interest rates. At September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, the estimated fair valuevalues of the Holly 9.875% Senior Notes, HEP 6.25% Senior Notes and HEP 8.25% Senior Notes were $324$338.3 million, $183.2$185 million and $156.8$160.5 million, respectively. These fair value estimates are based on market quotes provided from a third-party bank. See Note 10 for additional information on these debt instruments.
Fair value measurements are derived using inputs (assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk). GAAP categorizes inputs used in fair value measurements into three broad levels as follows:
(Level 1) Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
(Level 2) Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or inputs that can be corroborated by observable market data.
(Level 3) Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes valuation techniques that involve significant unobservable inputs.
(Level 1) Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
(Level 2) Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active or can be corroborated by observable market data.
(Level 3) Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes valuation techniques that involve significant unobservable inputs.
Our investments in marketable securities are measured at fair value using quoted market prices, a Level 1 input. See Note 7 for additional information on our investments in marketable securities, including fair value measurements.
We have commodity price swaps and HEP has an interest rate swap that areis measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs. With respect to these instruments, fair value is based on the net present value of expected future cash flows related to both variable and fixed rate legs of the respective swap agreements. The measurements are computed using market-based observable inputs, quoted forward commodity prices with respect to our commodity price swaps and the forward London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) yield curve with respect to HEP’s interest rate swap. See Note 11 for additional information on these swap contracts, including fair value measurements.

NOTE 5: Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share from continuing operations is calculated as net income from continuing operationsattributable to Holly Corporation stockholders divided by the average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations assumes, when dilutive, the issuance of the net incremental shares from stock options, variable restricted shares and variable performance shares.

NOTE 6: Stock-Based Compensation
On September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, we had threetwo principal share-based compensation plans that are described below (collectively, the “Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan”). The compensation cost that has been charged against income for these plans was $2.1$1.1 million and $2$1.9 million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2011 and 2010, and 2009, respectively, and $6.2 million and $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for share-based compensation arrangements was $0.4 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2011 and 2010, and 2009, and $2.4 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our current accounting policy for the recognition of compensation expense for awards with pro-rata vesting (substantially all of our awards) is to expense the costs pro-rata over the vesting periods. At September 30, 2010, 1,585,756 sharesWe have proposed to a vote of common stock were reserved for future grants undershareholders, an amendment to the current Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan which reservation allows forthat will extend the term of the plan and our ability to grant equity compensation awards of options, restricted stock or other performance awards.until December 31, 2020.
Additionally, HEP maintains share-based compensation plans for HEP directors and select Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C. executives and employees. Compensation cost attributable to HEP’s share-based compensation plans was $0.4$0.7 million and $0.2$1 million for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2011 and 2010, and 2009, respectively, and $1.8 million and $1.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
Stock Options
Under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan and a previous stock option plan, we have granted stock options to certain officers and other key employees. All the options have been granted at prices equal to the market value of the shares at the time of the grant and normally expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. These awards generally vest 20% at the end of each of the five years after the grant date. There have been no options granted since December 2001. The fair value on the date of grant for each option awarded was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Cash received from option exercises under the stock option plans was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from option exercises under the stock option plans totaled $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.
Restricted Stock
Under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, we grant certain officers, other key employees and outside directors restricted stock awards with substantially all awards vesting generally over a period of one to five years. Although ownership of the shares does not transfer to the recipients until after the shares vest, recipients generally have dividend rights on these shares from the date of grant. The vesting for certain key executives is contingent upon certain performance targets being realized. The fair value of each share of restricted stock awarded, including the shares issued to the key executives, was measured based on the market price as of the date of grant and is being amortized over the respective vesting period.

Performance Share Units
Under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, we grant certain officers and other key employees performance share units, which are payable in stock upon meeting certain criteria over the service period, and generally vest over a period of one to three years. Under the terms of our performance share unit grants, awards are subject to financial performance criteria.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, we granted 110,489 performance share units having a fair value based on our grant date closing stock price of $29.17. These units are payable in stock and are subject to certain financial performance criteria.

The fair value of each performance share unit award is computed using the grant date closing stock price of each respective award grant and will apply to the number of units ultimately awarded. The number of shares ultimately issued for each award will be based on our financial performance as compared to peer group companies over the performance period and can range from zero to 200%. As of September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, estimated share payouts for outstanding non-vested performance share unit awards ranged from 125%130% to 130%150%.

NOTE 11: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
Commodity Price Risk Management
DuringOur primary market risk is commodity price risk. We are exposed to market risks related to the third quartervolatility in crude oil and refined products, as well as volatility in the price of 2010, we entered into two types of hedging transactions.natural gas used in our refining operations.
We enteredperiodically enter into multiple gasolinederivative contracts in the form of commodity price swaps to mitigate price exposure with respect to:
our inventory positions;
natural gas purchases;
costs of crude oil;
prices of refined products; and
our refining margins.
As of March 31, 2011, we have outstanding commodity price swap contracts relatingserving as economic hedges to protect the value of a temporary crude oil inventory build of 105,000 barrels against price volatility and to protect refining margins on forecasted sales transactions of unleaded 87 gasoline6.2 million barrels of produced gasoline. These contracts are measured quarterly at our Tulsa Refinery facilities in orderfair value with offsetting adjustments (gains / losses) recorded directly to protect margins on winter grade gasoline. Winter grade gasoline specifications allow for the blending of butane as an additive. Since the cost of butane is subject to price risk (fluctuating prices), our refined product margins are exposed to the adverse affects of higher butane costs during winter months when demand for butane is generally higher and lower gasoline sales prices when demand for finished gasoline products is generally lower. To mitigate the effects of higher butane costs duringsold.

- 2018 -


winter months, we regularly purchase volumes of butane at more favorable prices during the summer season. Furthermore, in order to maintain a favorable spread between the cost of this butane and the ultimate sales price we receive on quantities of produced winter grade gasoline, we have entered into gasoline price swaps that effectively fix the sales price on forecasted sales totaling 135,000 barrels of unleaded 87 gasoline at a weighted average price of $81.61 per barrel. These barrels will be ratably sold between September and December 2010, matching the terms of the swap contracts maturing between September and December 2010.
Additionally, we entered into natural gas price swap contracts relating to forecasted purchases of natural gas to be used in production at our refining facilities during the 2010-2011 winter season. Natural gas prices are subject to price risk (fluctuating prices), therefore, the profitability of our refinery operations is exposed to the adverse affects of higher natural gas prices during winter months when demand for natural gas is generally higher. In order to mitigate the effects of higher natural gas prices, we have entered into natural gas price swaps that effectively fix our purchase price on forecasted natural gas purchases aggregating 2,500,000 million British thermal units (“MMBTU”) (approximately 30% of our refineries’ projected winter season consumption) to be ratably purchased between November 2010 and March 2011 at a weighted-average cost of $4.20 per MMBTU.
We have designated these commodity price swaps as cash flow hedges. Based on our assessment of effectiveness using the change in variable cash flows method, we have determined that our gasoline price swaps are effective in offsetting the variability in sales prices to be received on forecasted sales of finished gasoline inventory resulting from changes in gasoline reference prices. We have also determined that our natural gas price swaps are effective in offsetting the variability in prices to be paid on forecasted natural gas purchases resulting from changes in natural gas reference prices. Under hedge accounting, we adjust our cash flow hedges on a quarterly basis to fair value with offsetting fair value adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income. Hedge effectiveness is measured by comparing the combined effects of amounts expected to be received or paid under these price swap contracts and prices to be received and paid under the forecasted transactions as discussed above against prestablished fixed prices. Any ineffectiveness is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to cost of products sold. As of September 30, 2010, we have had no ineffectiveness on these cash flow hedges.
Interest Rate Risk Management
HEP uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate risk.
As of September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, HEP has an interest rate swap that hedges its exposure to the cash flow risk caused by the effects of LIBOR changes on a $155 million HEP Credit Agreement advance. This interest rate swap effectively converts $155 million of LIBOR based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate of 3.74% plus an applicable margin, currently 1.75%2.5%, which equaled an effective interest rate of 5.49%6.24% as of September 30, 2010. The maturity date of thisMarch 31, 2011. This interest rate swap contract is February 28, 2013.
HEPhas been designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. Basedhedge and matures in February 2013.
This contract initially hedged variable LIBOR interest on its assessment of effectiveness using the change$171 million in variable cash flows method,outstanding HEP determined that this interest rate swap is effective in offsetting the variability in interest payments on the $155 million variable rate debt resulting from changes in LIBOR. Under hedge accounting, HEP adjusts the cash flow hedge on a quarterly basis to its fair value with the offsetting fair value adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income. Also on a quarterly basis, HEP measures hedge effectiveness by comparing the present value of the cumulative change in the expected future interest to be paid or received on the variable leg of the swap against the expected future interest payments on the $155 million variable rateCredit Agreement debt. Any ineffectiveness is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income to interest expense. As of September 30, 2010, HEP had no ineffectiveness on its cash flow hedge.
In May 2010, HEP repaid $16 million of the HEP Credit Agreement debt and also settled a corresponding portion of its interest rate swap agreement having a notional amount of $16 million for $1.1 million. Upon payment, HEP reduced its swap liability and reclassified a $1.1 million charge from accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense, representing the application of hedge accounting prior to settlement.

- 21 -


Additionally, HEP settled two interest rate swaps in the first quarter of 2010. HEP had an interest rate swap contract that effectively converted interest expense associated with $60 million of the HEP 6.25% Senior Notes from fixed to variable rate debt (“Variable Rate Swap”). HEP had an additional interest rate swap contract that effectively unwound the effects of the Variable Rate Swap, converting $60 million of the previously hedged long-term debt back to fixed rate debt (“Fixed Rate Swap”), effectively fixing interest at a 4.75% rate. Upon settlement of the Variable Rate and Fixed Rate Swaps, HEP received $1.9 million and paid $3.6 million, respectively.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, HEP recognized a $1.5 million charge to interest expense as a result of fair value adjustments prior to settlement of these interest rate swaps in the first quarter of 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, fair value adjustments resulted in a $0.3 million increase in interest expense.
HEP has a deferred hedge premium that relates to the application of hedge accounting to the Variable Rate Swap prior to its hedge dedesignation in 2008. This deferred hedge premium having a balance of $1.5 million at September 30, 2010, is being amortized as a reduction to interest expense over the remaining term of the HEP 6.25% Senior Notes.

NOTE 14: Retirement Plan
We have a non-contributory defined benefit retirement plan that covers most of our employees who were hired prior to January 1, 2007. Our policy is to make contributions annually of not less than the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Benefits are based on the employee’s years of service and compensation.
The retirement plan is closed to employees hired subsequent to 2006 and not covered by collective bargaining agreements with labor unions. To the extent a non-union employee was hired prior to January 1, 2007, and elected to participate in automatic contributions features under our defined contribution plan, their participation in future benefits of the retirement plan was frozen.
Effective July 1, 2010, the retirement plan was closed to all new employees covered by collective bargaining agreements with labor unions. To the extent a union employee was hired prior to July 1, 2010, the employee may elect to continue their participation in the retirement plan or to participate in our defined contribution plan whereby their participation in future benefits of the retirement plan will be frozen.

NOTE 15: Contingencies
In May 2007, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (“Court of Appeals”) issued its decision on petitions for review, brought by us and other parties, concerning rulings by the FERC in proceedings brought by us and other parties against SFPP, L.P. (“SFPP”). These proceedings relate to tariffs of common carrier pipelines, which are owned and operated by SFPP, for shipments of refined products from El Paso, Texas to Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona and from points in California to points in Arizona. We are one of several refiners that regularly utilize the SFPP pipeline to ship refined products from El Paso, Texas to Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona on SFPP’s East Line. The Court of Appeals in its May 2007 decision approved a FERC position, which is adverse to us, on the treatment of income taxes in the calculation of allowable rates for

- 21 -


pipelines operated by partnerships and ruled in our favor on an issue relating to our rights to reparations when it is determined that certain tariffs we paid to SFPP in the past were too high. The case was remanded to FERC and consolidated with other cases that together addressed SFPP’s rates for the period from January 1992 through May 2006. In 2003 we received an initial payment of $15.3 million from SFPP as reparations for the period from 1992 through July 2000. On April 16, 2010, a settlement among us, SFPP, and other shippers was filed with FERC for its approval. FERC approved the settlement on May 28, 2010. Pursuant to the settlement, we received an additional settlement payment of $8.6 million. This settlement finally resolves the amount of additional payments SFPP owes us for the period January 1992 through May 2006.
We and other shippers also engaged in settlement discussions with SFPP relating to East Line service in the FERC proceedings that address periods after May 2006. A partial settlement covering the period June 2006 through November 2007, which became final in February 2008, resulted in a payment from SFPP to us of $1.3 million in April 2008. On October 22, 2008, we and other shippers jointly filed at the FERC with SFPP a settlement covering the period from December 2008 through November 2010. The FERC approved the settlement on January 29, 2009. The settlement reduced SFPP’s current rates and required SFPP to make additional payments to us of $2.9 million, which were received on May 18, 2009.
On June 2, 2009, SFPP notified us that it would terminate the October 22, 2008 settlement, as provided under the settlement, effective August 31, 2009. On July 31, 2009, SFPP filed substantial rate increases for East Line service to become effective September 1, 2009. We and several other shippers filed protests at the FERC challenging the rate increase and asking the FERC to suspend the effectiveness of the increased rates. On August 31, 2009, the FERC issued an order suspending the effective date of the rate increase until January 1, 2010, on which date the rate increase was placed into effect subject to refund, and setting the rate increase for a full evidentiary hearing to be held in 2010. SFPP subsequently reduced its rates for the East Line service, effective September 1, 2010. The rates placed in effect on January 1, 2010, and the lower rates put into effect on September 1, 2010, remain subject to refund subject to the outcome of the evidentiary hearing. We are not in a position to predict the ultimate outcome of the rate proceeding.
We are a party to various other litigation and proceedings which we believe, based on advice of counsel, will not either individually or in the aggregate have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 16: Segment Information
Our operations are currently organized into two reportable segments, Refining and HEP. Our operations that are not included in the Refining and HEP segments are included in Corporate and Other. Intersegment transactions are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements and are included in Consolidations and Eliminations.
The Refining segment includes the operations of our Navajo, Woods Cross, and Tulsa Refineries and Holly Asphalt and involves the purchase and refining of crude oil and wholesale and branded marketing of refined products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel. These petroleum products are primarily marketed in the Southwest, Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions of the United States and northern Mexico. Additionally, the Refining segment includes specialty lubricant products produced at our Tulsa Refinery that are marketed

- 25 -


throughout North America and are distributed in Central and South America. Holly Asphalt manufactures and markets asphalt and asphalt products in Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Texas and northern Mexico.
The HEP segment includes all of the operations of HEP, a consolidated VIE, which owns and operates a system of petroleum product and crude gathering pipelines in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Utah, distribution terminals in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, and Washington and refinery tankage in New Mexico, Utah and Oklahoma. Revenues are generated by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil through its pipelines, by leasing certain pipeline capacity to Alon USA, Inc., by charging fees for terminalling refined products and other hydrocarbons and storing and providing other services at its storage tanks and terminals. The HEP segment also includes a 25% interest in SLC Pipeline that services refineries in the Salt Lake

- 22 -


City, Utah area. Revenues from the HEP segment are earned through transactions with unaffiliated parties for pipeline transportation, rental and terminalling operations as well as revenues relating to pipeline transportation services provided for our refining operations. Our revaluation of HEP’s assets and liabilities at March 1, 2008 (date of reconsolidation) resulted in basis adjustments to our consolidated HEP balances. Therefore, our reported amounts for the HEP segment may not agree to amounts reported in HEP’s periodic public filings.
The accounting policies for our segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.2010.

NOTE 17: Supplemental Guarantor/Non-Guarantor Financial Information
Our obligations under the Holly 9.875% Senior Notes have been jointly and severally guaranteed by the substantial majority of our existing and future restricted subsidiaries (“Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries”). These guarantees are full and unconditional. HEP, in which we have a 34% ownership interest, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Non-Guarantor Non-Restricted Subsidiaries”), and certain of our other subsidiaries (“Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries”) have not guaranteed these obligations.
The following financial information presents condensed consolidating balance sheets, statements of income, and statements of cash flows of Holly Corporation (the “Parent”), the Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries, the Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Non-Restricted Subsidiaries. The information has been presented as if the Parent accounted for its ownership in the Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries, and the Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries accounted for the ownership of the Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Non-Restricted Subsidiaries, using the equity method of accounting. The Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries are collectively the “Restricted Subsidiaries.” Our revaluation of HEP’s assets and liabilities at March 1, 2008 (date of reconsolidation) resulted in basis adjustments to our consolidated HEP balances. Therefore, our reported amounts for the HEP segment may not agree to amounts reported in HEP’s periodic public filings.

OVERVIEW
We are principally an independent petroleum refiner operating three refineries consistingthat produces high value light products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, specialty lubricant products, and specialty and modified asphalt. Navajo Refining Company, L.L.C., one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns a petroleum refinery facilities in Artesia, New Mexico, which operates in conjunction with crude, vacuum distillation and other facilities situated 65 miles away in Lovington, New Mexico (collectively, the “Navajo Refinery”), Woods Cross,. The Navajo Refinery can process sour (high sulfur) crude oils and serves markets in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Our refinery located just north of Salt Lake City, Utah (the “Woods Cross Refinery”) is operated by Holly Refining & Marketing Company — Woods Cross, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. This facility is a high conversion refinery that primarily processes regional sweet (lower sulfur) and twosour Canadian crude oils. Our refinery facilitieslocated in Tulsa, Oklahoma (collectively, operated as the(the “Tulsa Refinery”). As is comprised of September 30, 2010, our refineries had a combined crude capacity of 256,000 BPSD. Our profitability depends largely ontwo facilities, the spread between market prices for refined petroleum productsTulsa Refinery west and crude oil prices. east facilities.
At September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, we also owned a 34% interest in HEP, (including thea consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”), which includes our 2% general partner interest) which ownsinterest. HEP has logistic assets including petroleum product and operates pipelinecrude oil pipelines located in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and terminalling assets,Utah; ten refined product terminals; a jet fuel terminal; loading rack facilities at each of our three refineries, a refined products tank farm facility and on-site crude oil tankage at our Navajo, Woods Cross and Tulsa Refineries. Additionally, HEP owns a 25% interest in SLC Pipeline LLC (the “SLC(“SLC Pipeline”), a new 95-mile intrastate pipeline system that serves refineries in the Salt Lake City area.
On February 21, 2011, we entered into a merger agreement providing for a “merger of equals” business combination of us and Frontier Oil Corporation (“Frontier”). Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement which has been approved unanimously by both our and Frontier’s board of directors, Frontier shareholders will receive 0.4811 shares of our common stock for each share of Frontier common stock if the merger is completed. Completion of the merger is subject to certain conditions, including, among others, (i) approval by our stockholders of the issuance of our common stock to Frontier’s stockholders in connection with the merger, (ii) adoption of the merger agreement by Frontier’s stockholders, (iii) the expiration or termination of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, (iv) the registration statement on Form S-4 used to register the common stock to be issued as consideration for the merger having been declared effective by the SEC and (v) the entry into a new credit facility for the combined company. In March 2011, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) granted early termination of its Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust review of the proposed merger.
Our principal source of revenue is from the sale of high value light products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel and asphalt products in markets in the Southwest, Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions of the United States and northern Mexico. We also produce specialty lubricant products that are marketed throughout North America and are distributed in Central and South America. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, sales and other revenues were $6,111.1$2,326.6 million and net income attributable to Holly Corporation stockholders was $89.2$84.7 million. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2009,March 31, 2010, sales and other revenues from continuing operations were $3,172.3$1,874.3 million and the net incomeloss attributable to Holly Corporation stockholders was $60$28.1 million. Our principal expenses are costs of products sold and operating expenses. Our total operating costs and expenses for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 were $5,894.1$2,167.5 million compared to $3,041.5$1,897 million for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2009.
On June 1, 2009, we acquired an 85,000 BPSD refinery located in Tulsa, Oklahoma (the “Tulsa Refinery west facility”) from an affiliate of Sunoco, Inc. (“Sunoco”) for $157.8 million in cash, including crude oil, refined product and other inventories valued at $92.8 million. The refinery produces fuel products including gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel and serves markets in the Mid-Continent region of the United States and also produces specialty lubricant products that are marketed throughout North America and are distributed in Central and South America.
On December 1, 2009, we acquired a 75,000 BPSD refinery that is also located in Tulsa, Oklahoma (the “Tulsa Refinery east facility”) from an affiliate of Sinclair Oil Company (“Sinclair”) for $183.3 million, including crude oil, refined product and other inventories valued at $46.4 million. The refinery produces gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel products and also serves markets in the Mid-Continent region of the United States. We are in the process of integrating the operations of both Tulsa Refinery facilities (collectively, the “Tulsa Refinery”). Upon completion, the Tulsa Refinery will have an integrated crude processing rate of 125,000 BPSD.
Separately, HEP, also a party to the December 1, 2009 transaction with Sinclair, acquired certain logistics and storage assets located at our Tulsa Refinery east facility. See “Note 3 — Holly Energy Partners” to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 for additional information on this transaction as well as HEP’s 2010 and 2009 asset acquisitions from us.
Also on December 1, 2009, HEP sold its 70% interest in Rio Grande Pipeline Company (“Rio Grande”) to a subsidiary of Enterprise Products Partners LP for $35 million. Results of operations of Rio Grande are presented in discontinued operations.March 31, 2010.

(1) Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as (“EBITDA”), is calculated as net income plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation provided for under GAAP; however, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is presented here because it is a widely used financial indicator used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA is also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for financial covenants. EBITDA presented above is reconciled to net income under “Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” following Item 3 of Part I of this Form 10-Q.
Our operations are currently organized into two reportable segments, Refining and HEP. Our operations that are not included in the Refining and HEP segment are included in Corporate and Other. Intersegment transactions are eliminated in our consolidated financial statements and are included in Eliminations.

(1) The Refining segment includes the operations of our Navajo, Woods Cross and Tulsa Refineries and Holly Asphalt Company (“Holly Asphalt”) and involves the purchase and refining of crude oil and wholesale and branded marketing of refined products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, specialty lubricant products, and specialty and modified asphalt. The petroleum products are primarily marketed in the Southwest, Rocky Mountain and Mid-Continent regions of the United States and northern Mexico. Additionally, specialty lubricant products produced at our Tulsa Refinery are marketed throughout North America and are distributed in Central and South America. Holly Asphalt manufactures and markets asphalt and asphalt products in Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Texas and northern Mexico.
 
(2) The HEP segment involves all of the operations of HEP. HEP which owns and operates a system of petroleum product and crude gathering pipelines and refinery tankage in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Utah, and distribution terminals in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Oklahoma and Washington. Revenues are generated by charging tariffs for transporting petroleum products and crude oil through its pipelines and by charging fees for

terminalling petroleum products and other hydrocarbons, and storing and providing other services at its storage tanks and terminals. Additionally, HEP owns a 25% interest in the SLC Pipeline that services refineries in the Salt Lake City, Utah area. Revenues from the HEP segment are earned through transactions with unaffiliated parties for pipeline transportation, rental and terminalling operations as well as revenues relating to pipeline transportation services provided for our refining operations.

Results of Operations — Three Months Ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2009March 31, 2010
Summary
Net income attributable to Holly Corporation stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2010March 31, 2011 was $51.2$84.7 million ($0.961.59 per basic and $1.58 per diluted share), a $27.7$112.8 million increase compared to $23.5$28.1 million net loss ($0.47(0.53) per basic and diluted share) for the three months ended September 30, 2009.March 31, 2010. Net income increased due principally to higher refinery gross margins during the three months ended September 30, 2010 combined with increasedMarch 31, 2011. This was partially offset by a decrease in volumes of produced refined products sold. Overall refinery gross margins for the three months ended September 30, 2010 were $10.41March 31, 2011 increased to $15.72 per produced barrel compared to $8.27$5.56 for the three months ended September 30, 2009.March 31, 2010.
Overall production levels for the three months ended September 30,March 31, 2010 increaseddecreased by 24%3% over the same period of 20092010 due principally to the effects of production fromdowntime at the Navajo Refinery during the current year first quarter that was partially offset by current year production increases at our Tulsa Refinery east facility acquiredfacilities. The Navajo Refinery experienced a plant-wide power outage in December 2009.late January 2010. Inclement weather delayed the process of restoring production to planned operating levels during the month of February.
Sales and Other Revenues
Sales and other revenues increased 24% from continuing operations increased 41% from $1,488.5$1,874.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 to $2,091$2,326.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, due principally to the effects of a 28% increase in year-over-year third quarter volumesincreased sales prices of produced refined products sold combined with increased sales pricesthat was partially offset by a decrease in year-over-year first quarter volumes of produced refined products sold. The average sales price we received per produced barrel sold increased 14%30% from $78.11$87.40 for the three months ended September 30, 2009March 31, 2010 to $89.25$113.28 for the three months ended September 30, 2010.March 31, 2011.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Holly Credit Agreement
We have a $400 million senior secured credit agreement expiring in March 2013 (the “Holly Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and one of a syndicate of lenders. In June 2010, the agreement was upsized by $30 million pursuant to the accordion feature. The Holly Credit Agreement may be used to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures, permitted acquisitions or other general corporate purposes. We were in compliance with all covenants at September 30, 2010.March 31, 2011. At September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, we had no outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit totaling $84.3$70 million under the Holly Credit Agreement. At that level of usage, the unused commitment was $315.7 million at September 30, 2010. We entered into an amendment to the Holly Credit Agreement on May 6, 2010 that changed certain financial covenants and provided other enhancements to the agreement.$330 million.
There are currently a total of fifteen lenders under the Holly Credit Agreement with individual commitments ranging from $10 million to $47.5 million. If any particular lender could not honor its commitment, we believe the unused capacity that would be available from the remaining lenders would be sufficient to meet our borrowing needs. Additionally, we have reviewed publicly available information on our lenders in order to review and monitor their financial stability and assess their ongoing ability to honor their commitments under the Holly Credit Agreement. We have not experienced, nor do we expect to experience, any difficulty in the lenders’ ability to honor their respective commitments, and if it were to become necessary, we believe there would be alternative lenders or options available.
HEP Credit Agreement
HEP has a $300$275 million senior secured revolving credit agreement expiring in August 2011Credit Agreement (the “HEP Credit Agreement”). The HEP Credit Agreement that is available to fund capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, distribution payments and working capital and for other general partnership purposes. In February 2011, HEP amended its previous credit agreement (expiring in August 2011), slightly, reducing the size of the credit facility from $300 million to $275 million. The size was reduced based on management’s review of past and forecasted utilization of the facility. The HEP Credit Agreement expires in February 2016; however, in the event that the 6.25% HEP Senior Notes (discussed later) are not repurchased, refinanced, extended or repaid prior to September 1, 2014, the HEP Credit Agreement will expire on that date. At September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, HEP had outstanding borrowings totaling $157$182 million under the HEP Credit Agreement, with unused borrowing capacity of $143$93 million. The HEP Credit Agreement expires in August 2011; therefore, outstanding borrowings are currently classified as current liabilities. HEP intends to renew the HEP Credit Agreement prior to expiration and to continue to finance outstanding borrowings. Upon renewal, outstanding borrowings not designated for working capital purposes will be reclassified as long-term debt.
HEP’s obligations under the HEP Credit Agreement are collateralized by substantially all of HEP’s assets (presented parenthetically in our Consolidated Balance Sheets). Indebtedness under the HEP Credit Agreement is recourse to HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P., its general partner, and guaranteed by HEP’s wholly-owned subsidiaries. Any recourse to the general partner would be limited to the extent of HEP Logistics Holdings, L.P.’s assets, which other than its investment in HEP, are not significant. During the first quarter of 2010,HEP’s creditors have no other recourse to our previous agreements to indemnify HEP’s controlling partnerassets. Furthermore, our creditors have no recourse to the extent it makes any payment in satisfactionassets of debt service due on up to a $171 million aggregate principal amount of borrowings under the HEP Credit Agreement were terminated.and its consolidated subsidiaries.
There are currently a total of thirteen lenders under the HEP Credit Agreement with individual commitments ranging from $15 million to $40 million. If any particular lender could not honor its commitment under the HEP Credit agreement, HEP believes the unused capacity that would be available from the remaining lenders would be sufficient to meet its borrowing needs. Additionally, publicly available information on these lenders is reviewed in order to monitor their financial stability and assess their ongoing ability to honor their commitments under the HEP Credit Agreement.

Holly Financing Obligation
In October 2009, we sold approximately 400,000 barrels of crude oil tankage at our Tulsa Refinery west facility as well as certain crude oil pipeline receiving facilities to an affiliate of Plains All American Pipeline, L.P. (“Plains”) for $40 million in cash. In connection with this transaction, we entered into a 15-year lease agreement with Plains, whereby we agreed to pay a fixed monthly fee for the exclusive use of this tankage as well as a fee for volumes received at the receiving facilities purchased by Plains. Additionally, we have a margin sharing agreement with Plains under which we will equally share contango profits with Plains for crude oil purchased by them and delivered to our Tulsa Refinery west facility for storage. Due to our continuing involvement in these assets, this transaction has been accounted for as a financing obligation. As a result, we retained these assets on our books and recorded a liability representing the $40 million in proceeds received.

Additionally in May 2009, HEP closed a public offering of 2,192,400 of its common units priced at $27.80 per unit. Net proceeds of $58.4 million were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the HEP Credit Agreement and for general partnership purposes.
Liquidity
We believe our current cash and cash equivalents, along with future internally generated cash flow and funds available under our credit facilities will provide sufficient resources to fund currently planned capital projects, including our planned integration of the Tulsa Refinery facilities, and our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future. In addition, components of our growth strategy may include construction of new refinery processing units and the expansion of existing units at our facilities and selective acquisition of complementary assets for our refining operations intended to increase earnings and cash flow. Our ability to acquire complementary assets will be dependent upon several factors, including our ability to identify attractive acquisition candidates,

- 35 -


consummate acquisitions on favorable terms, successfully integrate acquired assets and obtain financing to fund acquisitions and to support our growth, and many other factors beyond our control.
We consider all highly-liquid instruments with a maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are stated at cost, which approximates market value, and are invested primarily in conservative, highly-rated instruments issued by financial institutions or government entities with strong credit standings. As of September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, we had cash and cash equivalents of $271.9$224.1 million and short-term investments in marketable securities of $1.2$48.9 million.

Planned Capital Expenditures
Holly Corporation
Each year our Board of Directors approves in our annual capital budget projects that our management is authorized to undertake. Additionally, at times when conditions warrant or as new opportunities arise, other or special projects may be approved. The funds allocated for a particular capital project may be expended over a period of several years, depending on the time required to complete the project. Therefore, our planned capital expenditures for a given year consist of expenditures approved for capital projects included in the current year’s capital budget as well as, in certain cases, expenditures approved for capital projects in capital budgets for prior years. Our total approved capital budget for 20102011 is $159.6$142.4 million. Additionally, capital costs of $38.8$11.7 million have been approved for refinery turnarounds and tank work. Excluding capital reimbursement required by the Sinclair Tulsa purchase agreement, weWe expect to spend approximately $165$185 million in capital costs in 2010,2011, including capital projects approved in prior years. Our capital spending for 20102011 is comprised of $48.5$24 million for projects at the Navajo Refinery, $10.8$13 million for projects at the Woods Cross Refinery, $46.7 $70

The following summarizes our key capital projects.
We are proceeding with the integration project of our Tulsa Refinery west and east facilities. Upon completion, the Tulsa Refinery will have an integrated crude processing rate of 125,000 BPSD. The integration project involves the installation of interconnect pipelines that will permit us to transfer various intermediate streams between the two facilities. We have also signed a 10-year agreement with a third party for the use ofCurrently, we are using an additionalexisting third-party line for the transfer of gasoline blend stocks which is currently in service.intermediates from the west facility to the east facility under a 10-year agreement. These interconnect lines will allow us to eliminate the sale of gas oil at a discount to WTI under our 5-year gas oil off take agreement with a third party, optimize gasoline blending, increase our utilization of better process technology, improve yields and reduce operating costs. HEP is currently constructing five additional interconnect pipelines and we are currently finalizingnegotiating terms for a long-term agreement with HEP to transfer intermediate products via these pipelines that will commence upon completion of the project. Also, as part of the integration, during the first quarter of 2011 we are planning to expandcompleted the expansion of the diesel hydrotreaterhydrotreating unit at the east facility toat an expected cost of $27 million. This expanded unit will permit the processing of all high sulfur diesel produced to ULSD. This expansion is expectedULSD once the interconnecting pipelines are complete and available to cost approximately $20 millionmove high sulfur diesel and will usehydrogen produced in the reactor that we acquired as part of the Tulsa Refinery west facility acquisition.to the east facility. We are currently planning to complete the integration projects byin the end of the first quartersummer of 2011.
The combined Tulsa Refinery facilities also will be required to comply with new Control of Hazardous Air Pollutants from Mobile Sources (“MSAT2”)MSAT2 regulations in order to meet new federal benzene reduction requirements for gasoline. We have elected to largely use existing equipment at the Tulsa Refinery east facility to split reformate from reformers at both Tulsa west and east facilities and install a new benzene saturation unit to achieve the required benzene reduction at an estimated cost of $28.5 million. We will be required to buy benzene credits to get the gasoline pool below 0.62% by volume until this project is complete, as required by law, beginning in 2011. There is an additional requirement to meet 1.3% benzene levels on every gallon of gasolinean annual average beginning in July 2012 and we2012. We expect to complete this project well before then.

Our consent decree with the EPA requires recovery of sulfur from the refinery fuel gas system and the shutdown or replacement of two low pressure boilers at the Tulsa Refinery west facility by the end of 2013. WeOur Board of Directors have approved a project for $44 million which would meet these requirements as well as increase our ability to run additional lower priced sour crude types at the Tulsa Refinery east facility. Also, we are evaluating the best solution to the low pressure boiler issue. In addition to the consent decree requirements, flare gas recovery and coker blowdown modifications are required to comply with new flare regulations. We have previouslyregulations at an estimated a cost of $20 million to meet these requirements but are currently evaluating a larger project in the $45 million range which would meet these requirements as well as increase our ability to run additional lower priced sour crude types at the Tulsa Refinery east facility. A decision on this matter has not yet been made.
We completed phase II of our major capital projects at the Navajo Refinery in the second quarter of 2010. These improvements provide the capability to process up to 40,000 BPSD of heavy type crudes. Phase II involved the installation of a new 18,000 BPSD solvent deasphalter and the revamp of our Artesia crude and vacuum units.
Also, we expect to complete our asphalt tankage project at the Navajo Refinery and at the Holly Asphalt facility in Artesia, New Mexico in November 2010 that will enhance asphalt economics by permitting the storage of asphalt during the winter months when asphalt prices are generally lower. These asphalt tank additions and the approved upgrade of our rail loading facilities at the Artesia refinery are expected to cost $21$10 million.
The Navajo Refinery currently plans to comply with the new MSAT2 regulations by the fractionation of raw naphtha with existing equipment to achieve benzene in gasoline levels below 1.3%. The Navajo Refinery will purchase or use credits to be generated at the Woods Cross and Tulsa Refineries in orderRefinery to reduce benzene downcontent to the required 0.62%. Due to our acquisition of the Tulsa Refinery facilities from Sunoco and Sinclair, our Navajo Refinery has until the end of 2011 to comply with the MSAT2 regulations because we no longer qualify for the small refiner’s exemption. We have 30 monthsAlso, we will be installing a new storm water surge tank and upgrade several other processes at the refinery’s Artesia waste water treatment plant. These projects are expected to comply starting after we became a large refiner in mid-2009.cost approximately $17 million.
Our Woods Cross refineryRefinery is required to install a wet gas scrubber on its FCC unit by the end of 2012. We estimate the total cost to be $12 million. The MSAT2 solution for Woods Crossthe refinery involves revamping its naphtha fractionation unit and installing a new reformate splitter and a benzene saturation unit at an estimated cost of $18$10 million. These projects will reduce benzene levels in gasoline below the 1.3% annual average level. The Woods Cross Refinery will purchase credits to meet the 0.62% benzene requirement. Like our Navajo Refinery, our Woods Cross Refinery has until the end of 2011 to comply with the MSAT2 regulations.
Under a definitive agreement with Sinclair, we are jointly building the UNEV Pipeline, a 12-inch refined products pipeline from Salt Lake City, Utah to Las Vegas, Nevada, together with terminal facilities in the Cedar City, Utah and North Las Vegas areas. Under the agreement, we own a 75% interest in the joint venture pipeline with Sinclair, our joint venture partner, owning the remaining 25% interest. The initial capacity of the pipeline will be 62,000 BPD (based on gasoline equivalents), with the capacity for further expansion to 120,000 BPD.

The current total cost of the pipeline project including terminals is expected to be approximately $300in the $340 million range, with our share of the cost totaling $225$255 million. This includes a project scope change that includes the construction of ethanol blending and storage facilities at the Cedar City terminal. We have commencedThe pipeline is in the final construction phase of the pipeline and expect the pipelineis expected to be mechanically complete in the secondthird quarter of 2011.
In connection with this project, we have entered into a 10-year commitment to ship an annual average of 15,000 barrels per day of refined products on the UNEV Pipeline at an agreed tariff. Our commitment for each year is subject to reduction by up to 5,000 barrels per day in specified circumstances relating to shipments by other shippers. We have an option agreement with HEP granting them an option to purchase all of our equity interests in this joint venture pipeline effective for a 180-day period commencing when the UNEV Pipeline becomes operational, at a purchase price equal to our investment in this joint venture pipeline plus interest at 7% per annum.
Regulatory compliance items at our refineries or other presently existing or future environmental regulations / consent decrees could cause us to make additional capital investments beyond those described above and incur additional operating costs to meet applicable requirements.

HEP
Each year the Holly Logistic Services, L.L.C. board of directors approves HEP’s annual capital budget, which specifies capital projects that HEP management is authorized to undertake. Additionally, at times when conditions warrant or as new opportunities arise, special projects may be approved. The funds allocated for a particular capital project may be expended over a period of several years, depending on the time required to complete the project. Therefore, HEP’s planned capital expenditures for a given year consist of expenditures approved for capital projects included in theirits current year’syear capital budget as well as, in certain cases, expenditures approved for capital projects in capital budgets for prior years. The 20102011 HEP capital budget is comprised of $4.8$5.8 million for maintenance capital expenditures and $6$20.1 million for expansion capital expenditures.
As described above,under our Tulsa Refinery integration project, HEP is currently constructing five interconnecting pipelines between our Tulsa east and west refining facilities. The project is expected to cost approximately $25$35 million with completion in the first quartersummer of 2011. We are currently finalizingnegotiating terms for a long-term agreement with HEP to transfer intermediate products via these pipelines that will commence upon completion of the project.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
Holly Corporation
There were no significant changes to our contractual obligations during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2010.March 31, 2011.
HEP
In February 2011, HEP amended its previous credit agreement (expiring in August 2011), slightly, reducing the size of the credit facility from $300 million to $275 million. The size was reduced based on management’s review of past and forecasted utilization of the facility. The HEP Credit Agreement expires in February 2016; however, in the event that the 6.25% HEP Senior Notes are not repurchased, refinanced, extended or repaid prior to September 1, 2014, the HEP Credit Agreement will expire on that date. During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, HEP repaidreceived net advances of $49$23 million resulting in $157$182 million of outstanding principal under the HEP Credit Agreement at September 30, 2010.
In March 2010, HEP issued $150 million aggregate principal amount of HEP 8.25% Senior Notes maturing March 15, 2018.31, 2011.
There were no other significant changes to HEP’s long-term contractual obligations during this period.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our significant accounting policies are described in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.2010. Certain critical accounting policies that materially affect the amounts recorded in our consolidated financial statements are the use of the LIFO method of valuing certain inventories, the amortization of deferred costs for regular major maintenance and repairs at our refineries, assessing the possible impairment of certain long-lived assets, and assessing contingent liabilities for probable losses. There have been no changes to these policies in 2010.2011.
We use the LIFO method of valuing inventory. Under the LIFO method, an actual valuation of inventory can only be made at the end of each year based on the inventory levels. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Variable Interest Entities
On January 1, 2010, new accounting standards became effective that replace the previous quantitative-based risk and rewards calculation provided under GAAP with a qualitative approach in determining whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Additionally, these standards require an entity to assess on an ongoing basis whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and enhance disclosure requirements with respect to an entity’s involvement in a VIE. See “Note 3 — Holly Energy Partners” to the Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 1 for additional information on our involvement with HEP, a consolidated VIE.
RISK MANAGEMENT
We use certain strategies to reduce some commodity price and operational risks. We do not attempt to eliminate all market risk exposures when we believe that the exposure relating to such risk would not be significant to our future earnings, financial position, capital resources or liquidity or that the cost of eliminating the exposure would outweigh the benefit.

- 48 -


Commodity Price Risk Management
DuringOur primary market risk is commodity price risk. We are exposed to market risks related to the third quartervolatility in crude oil and refined products, as well as volatility in the price of 2010,natural gas used in our refining operations.

- 39 -


We periodically enter into derivative contracts in the form of commodity price swaps to mitigate price exposure with respect to:
our inventory positions;
natural gas purchases;
costs of crude oil;
prices of refined products; and
our refining margins.
As of March 31, 2011, we entered into two types of hedging transactions.
We entered into multiple gasolinehave outstanding commodity price swap contracts relating to forecasted sales transactions of unleaded 87 gasoline produced at our Tulsa Refinery facilities in orderserving as economic hedges to protect margins on winter grade gasoline. Winter grade gasoline specifications allow for the blendingvalue of butane as an additive. Since the costa temporary crude oil inventory build of butane is subject105,000 barrels against price volatility and to price risk (fluctuating prices), our refined productprotect refining margins are exposed to the adverse affects of higher butane costs during winter months when demand for butane is generally higher and lower gasoline sales prices when demand for finished gasoline products is generally lower. To mitigate the effects of higher butane costs during winter months, we regularly purchase volumes of butane at more favorable prices during the summer season. Furthermore, in order to maintain a favorable spread between the cost of this butane and the ultimate sales price we receive on quantities of produced winter grade gasoline, we have entered into gasoline price swaps that effectively fix the sales price on forecasted sales totaling 135,000 barrels of unleaded 87 gasoline at a weighted average price of $81.61 per barrel. These barrels will be ratably sold between September and December 2010, matching the terms of the swap contracts maturing between September and December 2010.
Additionally, we entered into natural gas price swap contracts relating to forecasted purchases of natural gas to be used in production at our refining facilities during the 2010-2011 winter season. Natural gas prices are subject to price risk (fluctuating prices), therefore, the profitability of our refinery operations is exposed to the adverse affects of higher natural gas prices during winter months when demand for natural gas is generally higher. In order to mitigate the effects of higher natural gas prices, we have entered into natural gas price swaps that effectively fix our purchase price on forecasted natural gas purchases aggregating 2,500,000 million British thermal units (“MMBTU”) (approximately 30% of our refineries’ projected winter season consumption) to be ratably purchased between November 2010 and March 2011 at a weighted-average cost of $4.20 per MMBTU.
We have designated these commodity price swaps as cash flow hedges. Based on our assessment of effectiveness using the change in variable cash flows method, we have determined that our gasoline price swaps are effective in offsetting the variability in sales prices to be received on forecasted sales of finished gasoline inventory resulting from changes in gasoline reference prices. We have also determined that our natural gas price swaps6.2 million barrels of produced gasoline. These contracts are effective in offsetting the variability in prices to be paid on forecasted natural gas purchases resulting from changes in natural gas reference prices. Under hedge accounting, we adjust our cash flow hedges on ameasured quarterly basis toat fair value with offsetting fair value adjustments to accumulated other comprehensive income. Hedge effectiveness is measured by comparing the combined effects of amounts expected to be received or paid under these price swap contracts and prices to be received and paid under the forecasted transactions as discussed above against prestablished fixed prices. Any ineffectiveness is reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income(gains / losses) recorded directly to cost of products sold. As of September 30, 2010, we have had no ineffectiveness on these cash flow hedges.
Interest Rate Risk Management
HEP uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate risk.
As of September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, HEP has an interest rate swap that hedges its exposure to the cash flow risk caused by the effects of LIBOR changes on a $155 million HEP Credit Agreement advance. This interest rate swap effectively converts $155 million of LIBOR based debt to fixed rate debt having an interest rate of 3.74% plus an applicable margin, currently 1.75%2.5%, which equaled an effective interest rate of 5.49%6.24% as of September 30, 2010. The maturity date of thisMarch 31, 2011. This interest rate swap contract is February 28, 2013.
HEPhas been designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge. Basedhedge and matures in February 2013.
This contract initially hedged variable LIBOR interest on its assessment$171 million in outstanding HEP Credit Agreement debt. In May 2010, HEP repaid $16 million of effectiveness using the change in variable cash flows method, HEP determined that thisCredit Agreement debt and also settled a corresponding portion of its interest rate swap is effective in offsetting the variability in interest payments on the $155agreement having a notional amount of $16 million variable rate debt resulting from changes in LIBOR. Under hedge accounting,for $1.1 million. Upon payment, HEP adjusts the cash flow hedge onreduced its swap liability and reclassified a quarterly basis to its fair value with the offsetting fair value adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income. Also on a quarterly basis, HEP measures hedge effectiveness by comparing the present value of the cumulative change in the expected future interest to be paid

Publicly available information is reviewed on the counterparties in order to review and monitor their financial stability and assess their ongoing ability to honor their commitments under the swap contracts. These counterparties are large financial institutions. We have not experienced, nor do we expect to experience, any difficulty in the counterparties honoring their commitments.
The market risk inherent in our fixed-rate debt and positions is the potential change arising from increases or decreases in interest rates as discussed below.
At September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, outstanding principal under the Holly 9.875% Senior Notes, HEP 6.25% Senior Notes and HEP 8.25% Senior Notes was $300 million, $185 million and $150 million, respectively. For these fixed rate notes, changes in interest rates will generally affect fair value of the debt, but not our earnings or cash flows. At September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, the estimated fair values of the Holly 9.875% Senior Notes, HEP 6.25% Senior Notes and HEP 8.25% Senior Notes were $324$338.3 million, $183.2$185 million and $156.8$160.5 million, respectively. We estimate that a hypothetical 10% change in the yield-to-maturity rates applicable to these notes would result in a fair value change to the notes of approximately $13$12.5 million, $5$4.2 million and $6 million, respectively.
For the variable rate HEP Credit Agreement, changes in interest rates would affect cash flows, but not the fair value. At September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, borrowings outstanding under the HEP Credit Agreement were $157$182 million. By means of its cash flow hedge, HEP has effectively converted the variable rate on $155 million of outstanding principal to a fixed rate of 5.49%6.24%. For the unhedged $27 million portion, a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates applicable to the HEP Credit Agreement would not materially affect cash flows.
At September 30, 2010,March 31, 2011, cash and cash equivalents included investments in investment grade, highly liquid investments with maturities of ninethree months or less at the time of purchase and hence the interest rate market risk implicit in these cash investments is low. Due to the short-term nature of our

- 50 -


cash and cash equivalents, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio. Since we have the ability to liquidate this portfolio, we do not expect our operating results or cash flows to be materially affected by the effect of a sudden change in market interest rates on our investment portfolio.
Our operations are subject to normal hazards of operations, including fire, explosion and weather-related perils. We maintain various insurance coverages, including business interruption insurance, subject to certain deductibles. We are not fully insured against certain risks because such risks are not fully insurable, coverage is unavailable, or premium costs, in our judgment, do not justify such expenditures.
We have a risk management oversight committee that is made up of members from our senior management. This committee oversees our risk enterprise program, monitors our risk environment and provides direction for activities to mitigate identified risks that may adversely affect the achievement of our goals.

Reconciliations to Amounts Reported Under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
Reconciliations of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles in financial statements.
Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as EBITDA, is calculated as net income attributable to Holly Corporation stockholders plus (i) interest expense, net of interest income, (ii) income tax provision, and (iii) depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a calculation provided for under GAAP; however, the amounts included in the EBITDA calculation are derived from amounts included in our consolidated financial statements. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or operating income as an indication of our operating performance or as an alternative to operating cash flow as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. EBITDA is presented here because it is a widely used financial indicator used by investors and analysts to measure performance. EBITDA is also used by our management for internal analysis and as a basis for financial covenants.

Reconciliations of refinery operating information (non-GAAP performance measures) to amounts reported under generally accepted accounting principles in financial statements.
Refinery gross margin and net operating margin are non-GAAP performance measures that are used by our management and others to compare our refining performance to that of other companies in our industry. We believe these margin measures are helpful to investors in evaluating our refining performance on a relative and absolute basis.
We calculate refinery gross margin and net operating margin using net sales, cost of products and operating expenses, in each case averaged per produced barrel sold. These two margins do not include the effect of depreciation and amortization. Each of these component performance measures can be reconciled directly to our Consolidated Statements of Income.
Other companies in our industry may not calculate these performance measures in the same manner.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
Commitment and Contingency Reserves
When deemed necessary, we establish reserves for certain legal proceedings. The establishment of a reserve involves an estimation process that includes the advice of legal counsel and subjective judgment of management. While management believes these reserves to be adequate, future changes in the facts and circumstances could result in the actual liability exceeding the estimated ranges of loss and amounts accrued.
While the outcome and impact on us cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the resolution of these proceedings through settlement or adverse judgment will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or cash flow. Operating results, however, could be significantly impacted in the reporting periods in which such matters are resolved.
SFPP Litigation
a.The Early Complaint Cases
In May 2007, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (“Court of Appeals”) issued its decision on petitions for review, brought by us and other parties, concerning rulings by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”)FERC in proceedings brought by us and other parties against SFPP, L.P. (“SFPP”).SFPP. These proceedings relate to tariffs of common carrier pipelines, which are owned and operated by SFPP, for shipments of refined products from El Paso, Texas to Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona and from points in California to points in Arizona. We are one of several refiners that regularly utilize the SFPP pipeline to ship refined products from El Paso, Texas to Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona on SFPP’s East Line. The Court of Appeals in its May 2007 decision approved a FERC position, which is adverse to us, on the treatment of income taxes in the calculation of allowable rates for pipelines operated byas limited partnerships and ruled in our favor on an issue relating to our rights to reparations when it is determined that certain tariffs we paid to SFPP in the past were too high. The case was remanded to FERC and consolidated with other cases that together addressed SFPP’s rates for the period from January 1992 through May 2006. In 2003 we received an initial payment of $15.3 million from SFPP as reparations for the period from 1992 through July 2000. On April 16, 2010, a settlement among us, SFPP, and other shippers was filed with FERC for its approval. FERC approved the settlement on May 28, 2010. Pursuant to the settlement, we received an additional settlement payment of $8.6 million. This settlement finally resolves the amount of additional payments SFPP owes us for the period January 1992 through May 2006.
b.Other Settlements
We and other shippers also engaged in settlement discussions with SFPP relating to East Line service in the FERC proceedings that address periods after May 2006. A partial settlement regarding the East Line’s Phase I expansion rates covering the period June 2006 through November 2007, which became final in February 2008, resulted in a payment from SFPP to us of $1.3 million in April 2008. On October 22, 2008, we and other shippers jointly filed at the FERC with SFPP a settlement regarding the East Line’s Phase II expansion rates covering the period from December 20082007 through November 2010. The FERC approved the settlement on January 29, 2009. The settlement reduced SFPP’s current rates and required SFPP to make additional payments to us of $2.9 million, which were received on May 18, 2009.
c.The Latest Rate Proceeding
On June 2, 2009, SFPP notified us that it would terminate the October 22, 2008 settlement, as provided under the settlement, effective August 31, 2009. On July 31, 2009, SFPP filed substantial rate increases for East Line service to become effective September 1, 2009. We and several other shippers filed protests at the FERC, challenging the rate increase and asking the FERC to suspend the effectiveness of the increased rates. On August 31, 2009, the FERC issued an order suspending the effective date of the rate increase until January 1,

- 50 -


2010, on which date the rate increase was placed into effect subject to refund, and setting the rate increase for a full evidentiary hearing. The hearing was held from June 29, 2010 to be held inAugust 2, 2010. On September 15, 2010, the FERC approved an interim partial settlement pursuant to which SFPP subsequently reduced its rates for the East Line service, effective September 1, 2010. The rates placed in effect on January 1, 2010, and the lower rates put into effect on September 1, 2010, remain subject to refund subject to the outcome of the evidentiary hearing. On February 10, 2011, the Administrative Law Judge that presided over the evidentiary hearing issued an initial decision holding that certain elements of SFPP’s rate increases are unjust and unreasonable. The initial decision is subject to review by the FERC and the courts. We are not in a position to predict the ultimate outcome of the rate proceeding.

Cut Bank Hill Environmental Claims
Prior to the sale by Holly Corporation of the Montana Refining Company (“MRC”) assets in 2006, MRC, along with other companies was the subject of several environmental claims at the Cut Bank Hill site in Montana. These claims include: (1) a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency administrative order requiring MRC and other companies to undertake cleanup actions; (2) a U.S. Coast Guard claim against MRC and other companies for response costs of $0.3 million in connection with its cleanup efforts at the Cut Bank Hill site; and (3) a unilateral order by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality (“MDEQ”) directing MRC and other companies to complete a remedial investigation and a request by the MDEQ that MRC and other companies pay $0.2 million to reimburse the State’s costs for remedial actions. MRC has denied responsibility for the requested EPA and the MDEQ cleanup actions and the MDEQ and Coast Guard response costs. MRC is considering an invitation by the other companies to participate in the group based on an allocation of 9.16 percent of the group’s past and ongoing investigation and other costs.
Navajo Tank Fire
On March 2, 2010, a tank caught fire while under construction. At the time of the incident, four individuals were working on top of the tank. These individuals were all employees of a third-party contractor who was placing insulation on the tank. Two individuals sustained injuries and two individuals died as a result of the incident. FourTwo wrongful death lawsuits and two personal injury lawsuits seeking damages, including punitive damages, were filed on behalf of the estates of the two survivorsdeceased workers and on behalf of the estate of the two deceased workerssurvivors in state court in Dallas County, Texas (two lawsuits) and state court in Eddy County, New Mexico (two lawsuits). Two of theThe two Texas cases have been consolidated and are set for trial in April and MaySeptember of 2011, respectively.2011. One of the cases in New Mexico is set for trial in March of 2012. At the date of this report, it is not possible to predict the likely outcome of this litigation. This matter is being reported due to the serious nature of the injuries. Because of our insurance coverage, the total cost to the Company for these cases is not expected to be material.
New Mexico OHSB Inspection –Complaint — Navajo Tank Fire
On March 3, 2010, the New Mexico Occupational Health and Safety Bureau (“OHSB”), the New Mexico regulatory agency responsible for enforcing certain state occupational health and safety regulations, which are identical to Federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) regulations, commenced an inspection in relation to the tank fire that took place on March 2, 2010 at the Navajo facility in Artesia, New Mexico. On August 31, 2010, OHSB issued two citations to Navajo Refining Company, LLC (“Navajo”), alleging 10 willful violations and 1 serious violation of various construction safety standards. OHSB proposed penalties in the amount of $0.7 million. Navajo filed a notice of contest, challenging the citations. An informal administrative review of the citations is anticipatedtook place on November 17, 2010, at which time counsel for the parties discussed possible settlement options. The parties were unable to take place in November 2010. Following the informal review, Navajo will have the right to challenge the citations before thereach an agreement. Thus, OHSB filed an administrative complaint with New MexicoMexico’s Occupational Health and Safety Review Commission (“OSHRC”OHSRC”), on December 20, 2010. Navajo will challenge the citations before the OHSRC, and havefiled its answer to the right to take discovery.complaint on January 6, 2011. Discovery is under way at this time. OHSRC granted the parties’ joint request that a hearing commence no sooner than September 5, 2011, but the specific hearing date has not yet been established.

OSHA Inspections Tulsa Refinery
In June 2007, OSHA announced a national emphasis program (“NEP”) for inspecting approximately 80 refineries within its jurisdiction. As part of the NEP, OSHA conducted an inspection of Sinclair Tulsa Refining Company’s (“Sinclair Tulsa”) refinery in Tulsa, Oklahoma (our Tulsa Refinery east facility) from February 4, 2009 through August 3, 2009. On August 4, 2009, OSHA issued two citations to Sinclair Tulsa, alleging 51 serious violations and 1 willful violation of various safety standards including the Process Safety Management Standard (“PSM”) standard and the General Duty Clause. OSHA proposed penalties totaling $0.2 million. Sinclair filed a notice of contest, challenging the citations.
Our subsidiary, Holly Refining & Marketing Tulsa LLC (“HRM-Tulsa”), entered into an Asset Sale & Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sinclair Tulsa dated October 19, 2009 to acquire the Tulsa Refinery east facility, and the sale closed on December 1, 2009. HRM-Tulsa intervened in the case against Sinclair Tulsa pending before the OSHRCOHSRC shortly after the sale closed. Under the terms of the Agreement, Sinclair retains responsibility for defending the OSHA citations and paying any penalties, and HRM-Tulsa has the discretion to select the means and methods of improving the PSM program. HRM-Tulsa has evaluated the feasibility of various PSM program improvements and developed a plan to implement a number of safety enhancements at the Tulsa Refinery east facility. HRM-Tulsa management presented its safety improvement plan to OSHA and

- 61 -


OSHA approved the plan. HRM-Tulsa and OSHA negotiated a settlement agreement which memorializes OSHA’s approval of the safety improvement plan. The settlement agreement between HRM-Tulsa and OSHA was filed with the OSHRCOHSRC on August 11, 2010. On August 23, 2010, the OSHRCOHSRC entered an order approving both the settlement agreement between Sinclair Tulsa and OSHA and the agreement between HRM-Tulsa and OSHA.
OSHA conducted an inspection of our Tulsa Refinery west facility from January 20, 2010 through June 9, 2010. On July 12, 2010, OSHA issued a citation, alleging 10 serious violations of various safety standards, including the Process Safety Management (“PSM”)PSM standard. OSHA proposed penalties totaling $57,150. HRM–TulsaHRM-Tulsa filed a notice of contest, and challenged each citation item. The matter has been assigned to Judge Patrick B. Augustine. A pretrial conference,Discovery is currently underway, and the hearing in which the discovery schedule will be established, will take place on November 3, 2010.this matter is scheduled to begin July 25, 2011.
OSHA began the NEP inspection of our Tulsa Refinery west facility on September 14, 2010. The inspectionOn March 14, 2011, OSHA issued a citation alleging 15 serious violations of federal workplace standards. OSHA proposed penalties totaling $62,500. On April 4, a settlement was reached that was favorable to HRM-Tulsa and the penalty was reduced to $31,750.
On March 28, 2011, OSHA issued a serious citation to HRM-Tulsa with respect to the Tulsa west facility, alleging one facility siting and two housekeeping violations, which stemmed from its investigation of an employee complaint that it received during the NEP inspection. OSHA proposed penalties of $6,275. HRM Tulsa is ongoing.engaged in informal settlement negotiations with OSHA, but was unable to reach a resolution and filed its notice of contest, challenging each citation item, on April 18, 2011. It is too early to predict the likely outcome or cost, if any, of this matter.
Discharge Permit Appeal Tulsa Refinery West Facility
Our subsidiary, HRM TulsaHRM-Tulsa is party to parallel Oklahoma administrative and state district court proceedings involving a challenge to the terms of the Oklahoma Department of Environmental Quality (“ODEQ”) permit that governs the discharge of industrial wastewater from our Tulsa Refinery west facility. Pursuant to a settlement agreement between HRM TulsaHRM-Tulsa and ODEQ, both proceedings have been stayed to allow ODEQ to issue a revised permit that modifies the existing permit’s requirements for toxicity testing and for managing storm flows. The parties are now in discussions regarding the appropriate changes in the permit language to accomplish these modifications. Once agreed-upon revisions are made and become effective, both proceedings will be dismissed. Any changes to refinery processes that result from the permit revisions will beare subject to regulatory review and approval. Accordingly, it is not possible to estimate the costs of compliance with the new permit provisions at this time.

Clean Air Act Notice of Violation — Tulsa Refinery East and West Facilities
HRM Tulsa received a notification from the ODEQ that the agency intends to seek a fine of $192,500 for alleged violations of the Clean Air Act at the Tulsa Refinery West Facility. The ODEQ’s primary area of concern is the number of valves that the facility has classed as “Difficult to Monitor.” The agency maintains that no more than 3% of valves can be so designated. HRM Tulsa interprets the applicable regulation as instead only imposing the 3% cap on new units. The parties have agreed to ask for a formal regulatory interpretation from the Environmental Protection Agency to assist them in resolving the dispute. HRM Tulsa believes that even if the ODEQ’s interpretation is correct, the proposed fine is excessive. The company will seek to have the fine reduced. The same notification also disclosed the agency’s intent to seek a separate fine of $17,500 for alleged Clean Air Act violations at the Tulsa Refinery East Facility. These alleged violations include a failure to conduct monthly monitoring of components previously found to be leaking and the discovery of three open ended lines, one of which was alleged to be leaking at the time of discovery. HRM Tulsa is currently in discussions with ODEQ regarding the alleged violations at the East Facility. It is not possible at this point to estimate what amount, if any, will ultimately be assessed for any of the foregoing items.
Litigation Related to the Merger with Frontier Oil Corporation
Twelve substantially similar shareholder lawsuits styled as class actions have been filed by alleged Frontier shareholders challenging our proposed “merger of equals” with Frontier and naming as defendants Frontier, its board of directors and, in certain instances, us and our wholly owned subsidiary, North Acquisition, Inc., as aiders and abettors. To date, such shareholder actions have been filed in Harris County, Texas, Laramie County, Wyoming, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, and the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas.
The lawsuits filed in the District Courts of Harris County, Texas are entitled: Adam Walker, Individually and On Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated vs. Frontier Oil Corporation, et al. (filed February 22, 2011), Andrew Goldberg, on Behalf of Himself and All Other Similarly Situated Shareholders of Frontier Oil Corporation v. Frontier Oil Corporation, et al. (filed February 24, 2011), L.A. Murphy, On Behalf of Herself and All Others Similarly Situated v. Paul B. Loyd, Jr., et al. (filed February 24, 2011), Zhixin Huang v. Frontier Oil Corp., et al. (filed February 24, 2011), Robert Pettigrew, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Frontier Oil Corporation, et al. (filed February 25, 2011), Walter E. Ryan, Jr., On Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly Situated v. Frontier Oil Corporation, et al. (filed February 25, 2011), Christopher Borrelli, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Frontier Oil Corporation, et al. (filed March 2, 2011), and Randy Whitman, Individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Frontier Oil Corporation, et al. (filed on March 8, 2011). The lawsuit filed in the District Court of Laramie County, Wyoming is entitled Thomas Greulich, Individually and on Behalf of All Others Similarly Situated v. Frontier Oil Corporation, et al. (filed March 1, 2011). The lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas is entitled Angelo Chiarelli, On Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly Situated v. Holly Corporation, et al. (filed on March 2, 2011). The lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas are entitled Tim Wilcox, Individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Frontier Oil Corporation, et al. (filed on March 7, 2011), and Jackie A. Rhymes, individually and on behalf of others similarly situated v. Michael Jennings, et al. (filed on March 17, 2011).
These lawsuits generally allege that (1) the consideration to be received by Frontier’s shareholders in the merger is inadequate, (2) the Frontier directors breached their fiduciary duties by, among other things, approving the merger at an inadequate price under circumstances involving certain alleged conflicts of interest, (3) the merger agreement includes preclusive deal protection provisions, and (4) Frontier, and in some cases we and North Acquisition, Inc., aided and abetted Frontier’s board of directors in breaching its fiduciary duties to Frontier’s shareholders. The shareholder actions seek various remedies, including enjoining the transaction from being consummated in accordance with its agreed-upon terms, compensatory damages, and costs and disbursements relating to the lawsuits.
In the cases pending in Texas state court, on March 21, 2011, plaintiff in the Walker lawsuit filed an amended petition alleging that Frontier’s current directors also breached their fiduciary duties by failing to disclose

- 53 -


material information or making materially inadequate disclosures concerning the proposed merger in the registration statement on Form S-4. On March 25, 2011, the lawsuits pending in the District Court of Harris County, Texas, were consolidated under the style In re: Frontier Oil Corp., Cause No. 2011-11451, and interim class counsel was appointed on April 12, 2011.
With respect to the federal lawsuits, on March 24, 2011, plaintiffs in the lawsuits pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas filed a motion to consolidate the Wilcox and Rhymes cases pending in that district and to appoint interim lead counsel. On April 7, 2011, plaintiffs in the Wilcox and Rhymes cases filed substantially similar amended complaints. In addition to the claims described in general above, these lawsuits also allege that the defendants violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act by making untrue statements of material fact and omitting to state material facts necessary to make the statements that were made not misleading in the registration statement on Form S-4.
The defendants intend to vigorously defend these and any future lawsuits, as they believe that they have valid defenses to all claims and that the lawsuits are entirely without merit.
Unclaimed Property Audit
A multi-state audit of our unclaimed property compliance and reporting is being conducted by Kelmar Associates, LLC on behalf of eleven states. We are currently in the third year of this ongoing audit that covers the period 1981–1981 — 2004. It is not yet possible to accurately estimate the amount, if any, that is owed to each of the states.
Other
We are a party to various other litigation and proceedings that we believe, based on advice of counsel, will not either individually or in the aggregate have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
