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 a 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 turning 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.

- 4 -

“Lube extraction unit” is a unit used in the lube process that separates aromatic oils from paraffinic oils using furfural as a solvent.

“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 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~~Paraffinic oil” is a high paraffinic, high gravity oil produced by extracting aromatic oils 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 turning it back to a liquid in order to purify, fractionate or form the desired products.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

~~NOTE 1:~~

~~Description of Business and Presentation of Financial Statements~~

NOTE 1: Description of Business and Presentation of Financial Statements

Holly Corporation (“Holly”) changed its name to HollyFrontier Corporation (“HollyFrontier” or “HollyFrontier Corporation”) in connection with the consummation of its “merger of equals” with Frontier Oil Corporation (“Frontier”), which became effective on July 1, 2011 (see Note 2). ~~All previous references to “Holly” within these financial statements have been replaced with “HollyFrontier.”~~ References herein to HollyFrontier Corporation with respect to time periods ~~through and including June 30,~~prior to July 1, 2011 include Holly and its consolidated subsidiaries and do not include Frontier and its consolidated ~~subsidiaries since the merger had not been consummated as of June 30, 2011, while references~~subsidiaries. References herein to HollyFrontier with respect to time periods from and after July 1, 2011 include the operations of the merged Frontier ~~and its consolidated subsidiaries.~~businesses. Unless otherwise specified, the financial statements included herein ~~are as of and for the period ended June 30, 2011 and, thus, do not~~ include financial information for ~~Frontier.~~the merged Frontier business operations for the period July 1, 2011 to September 30, 2011. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) “Plain English” guidelines, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q has been written in the first person. In this document, the words “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer only to HollyFrontier and its consolidated subsidiaries or to HollyFrontier or an individual subsidiary and not to any other person. ~~The~~Also, the words “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” generally include HEP and its subsidiaries as consolidated subsidiaries of HollyFrontier with certain exceptions where there are transactions or obligations between HEP and HollyFrontier or its other subsidiaries. These financial statements contain certain disclosures of agreements that are specific to HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries and do not necessarily represent obligations of HollyFrontier. When used in descriptions of agreements and transactions, “HEP” refers to HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2011, we:

owned and operated ~~three~~five refineries consisting of a petroleum refinery in Artesia, New Mexico that is operated in conjunction with crude oil distillation and vacuum distillation and other facilities situated 65 miles away in Lovington, New Mexico (collectively, the “Navajo Refinery”), a refinery in Woods Cross, Utah (the “Woods Cross Refinery”) ~~and our~~, two refinery facilities located in Tulsa, Oklahoma (collectively, the “Tulsa Refinery”), a refinery in El Dorado, Kansas (the “El Dorado Refinery”) and a refinery located in Cheyenne, Wyoming (the “Cheyenne Refinery”);

owned and operated NK Asphalt Partners (“NK Asphalt”) which operates various asphalt terminals in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas;

owned a 75% interest in a 12-inch refined products pipeline project, under construction, from Salt Lake City, Utah to Las Vegas, Nevada, together with terminal facilities in the Cedar City, Utah and North Las Vegas areas (the “UNEV Pipeline”);

owned Ethanol Management Company (“EMC”), a products terminal and blending facility near Denver, Colorado and a 50% interest in Sabine Biofuels II, LLC (“Sabine Biofuels”) a development stage biodiesel production facility ~~to be~~ located in Port Arthur, Texas, and ~~Sabine Biofuels II, LLC, (“Sabine Biofuels”);~~

owned a 34% interest in HEP, a consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”), which includes our 2% general partner interest. HEP has logistic assets including petroleum product and crude oil pipelines located in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and 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 (“SLC Pipeline”), a ~~new~~ 95-mile intrastate 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 ~~June~~September 30, 2011, the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income for the three and the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010 and consolidated cash flows for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010 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

- 10 -

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, 2010 that has been filed with the SEC.

On August 3, 2011, our Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split, payable in the form of a common stock dividend for each issued and outsatnding share of our common stock. The stock dividend was paid August 31, 2011 to all shareholders of record on August 24, 2011. We have retained the current par value of $0.01 per share for all shares of our common stock and have reclassified $763,000 (the amount equal to the par value of the additional stock issued) from additional capital to common stock to reflect this stock split at December 31, 2010. All references to share and per share amounts in these consolidated financial statements and related disclosures have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the stock split for all periods presented.

~~- 10 -~~

Beginning July 1, 2011, our business operations ~~will~~ reflect the merged Frontier businesses (see Note 2). Our results of operations for the first ~~six~~nine months of 2011 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. Our credit losses, which historically have been minimal, are charged to income when accounts are deemed uncollectible. At ~~June~~September 30, 2011, our allowance for doubtful accounts reserve was ~~$2.6~~$3.5 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.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the cost of an acquired entity over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not subject to amortization and is tested annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the possibility of impairment. As of September 30, 2011 there have been no impairments to goodwill.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Presentation of Comprehensive Income

In June 2011, an accounting standard update was issued that requires the presentation of net income and other comprehensive income in one continuous statement or in two separate, but consecutive, statements and eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income in the statement of stockholders’ equity. This accounting standard update is effective January 1, 2012 and will be applied retrospectively. This update will not have an impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Intangibles — Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment

In September 2011, an accounting standard update was issued that allows entities an option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. Under this option, an entity is no longer required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on that qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying amount. This accounting standard update is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed beginning January 1, 2012. This update will not have an impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

~~NOTE 2:~~

~~Holly-Frontier Merger~~

NOTE 2: Holly-Frontier Merger

On February 21, 2011, we entered into a merger agreement providing for a “merger of equals” business combination between us and ~~Frontier.~~ Frontier for purposes of creating a more diversified, combined company having a broader geographic sales footprint, stronger financial position and to reduce corporate overhead through the

- 11 -

realization of synergies and promote earnings per share accretion. The legacy Frontier business operations consist of crude oil refining and the wholesale marketing of refined petroleum products. Frontier operates refineries in Cheyenne, Wyoming (the “Cheyenne Refinery”) and El Dorado, Kansas (the “El Dorado Refinery”) that serve markets in the Rocky Mountain and Plains States regions of the United States. The combined annual average crude oil capacity of these refineries is approximately 187,000 barrels per day.

On July 1, 2011, North Acquisition, Inc., a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holly, merged with and into Frontier, with Frontier surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holly. Concurrent with the merger, we changed our name to HollyFrontier Corporation and changed the ~~trading~~ticker symbol for our common stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange to “HFC.” Subsequent to the merger and following approval by the post-closing board of directors of HollyFrontier, Frontier merged with and into HollyFrontier, with HollyFrontier continuing as the surviving corporation.

In accordance with the merger agreement, we issued approximately ~~51.4~~102.8 million shares of HollyFrontier common stock in exchange for outstanding shares of Frontier common stock to former Frontier stockholders. Each outstanding share of Frontier common stock was converted into 0.4811 shares of HollyFrontier common stock with any fractional shares paid in cash. ~~Based on the July 1, 2011 market closing price of $71.86, the~~The aggregate ~~equity~~ consideration paid in connection with the merger was approximately $3.7 billion. This is based on our July 1, 2011 market closing price of $35.93 and includes a portion of the fair value of the outstanding quity-based awards assumed from Frontier that relates to pre-merger services. The number of shares issued in connection with our merger with Frontier and the closing market price of our common stock at July 1, 2011 has been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split on August 31, 2011.

The merger ~~will be~~has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting with Holly being considered the acquirer of Frontier for accounting purposes. Therefore, the purchase price ~~shall be~~was allocated to the fair value of the acquired ~~Frontier tangible~~assets and ~~intangible assets and~~assumed liabilities at the acquisition date, with the excess purchase price being recorded as goodwill. ~~Due to the short timeframe between the consummation of the merger and filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have~~Goodwill is not ~~completed the detailed valuation studies necessary to arrive at the required~~deductible for income tax purposes.

The following table summarizes our preliminary fair value estimates of the Frontier assets and liabilities recognized upon our merger on July 1, 2011:


	(in millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	872

Due to the short time frame since July 1, 2011, our valuations of the acquired Frontier assets and liabilities are not final as of September 30, 2011. These fair value estimates, including the ~~liabilities assumed~~value of goodwill and the ~~related purchase price allocations.~~allocation, thereof to our reporting units are preliminary in nature and therefore, may change upon the completion such valuations.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2011, we have recognized $6$15.1 million in merger transaction costs that are presented separately in our income statements and primarily relate to legal, advisory and other professional fees incurred since the announcement of our merger agreement in February 2011. This does not include ~~post-merger transaction costs including fees contingent upon the merger closing as well as~~ costs to integrate the operations of the combined company. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, general and administrative expenses include $154 million in integration and severance costs associated with the integration of both companies.

~~NOTE 3:~~

~~Holly Energy Partners~~

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 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 ~~June~~September 30, 2011, we owned a 34% interest in HEP, including the 2% general partner interest. We 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 ~~74%~~77% of HEP’s total revenues for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 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.

We have pledged 6,000,000 of our HEP common units to collateralize certain crude oil purchases made 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 of 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.

2011 Pending Pipeline and Tankage Asset Transaction

We have announced an agreement in principle with HEP, subject to the execution of definitive agreements and certain closing conditions, for the sale of certain pipeline, tankage, loading rack and crude receiving assets located at our El Dorado and Cheyenne Refineries to HEP for $340 million that we expect to close in November 2011. The purchase price is expected to be paid in HEP promissory notes with an aggregate original principal amount of $150 million and in an additional number of HEP’s common units having a value equal to the remaining $190 million purchase price.

- 1213 -

In connection with the proposed transaction, we intend to enter into 15-year throughput agreements with HEP containing minimum annual revenue commitments that we project will result in $47 million of minimum annual payments to HEP.

2010 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.

HEP serves our refineries in New Mexico, Utah and Oklahoma under the following long-term pipeline and terminal, tankage and throughput agreements:

HEP PTA (pipelines and terminals throughput agreement expiring in 2019 that relates to the pipelines and terminal assets that we contributed to HEP upon its initial public offering in 2004);

HEP IPA (intermediate pipelines throughput agreement expiring in 2024 that relates to the intermediate pipelines sold to HEP in 2005 and 2009);

HEP CPTA (crude pipelines and tankage throughput agreement expiring in 2023 that relates to the crude pipelines and tankage assets sold to HEP in 2008);

HEP PTTA (pipeline, tankage and loading rack throughput agreement expiring in 2024 that relates to the Tulsa east storage tank and loading rack facilities ~~acquired~~sold to HEP in 2009 and ~~2010)~~2010 and HEP’s Tulsa interconnect pipelines);

HEP RPA (pipeline throughput agreement expiring in 2024 that relates to the Roadrunner Pipeline sold to HEP in 2009);

HEP ETA (equipment and throughput agreement expiring in 2024 that relates to the Tulsa west loading rack facilities sold to HEP in 2009);

HEP NPA (natural gas pipeline throughput agreement expiring in 2024); and

HEP ATA (loading rack throughput agreement expiring in 2025 that relates to the Lovington asphalt loading rack facility sold to HEP in March 2010).

Under these agreements, we pay HEP fees to transport, store and throughput volumes of refined product and crude oil on HEP’s pipeline and terminal, tankage and loading rack facilities that result in minimum annual payments to HEP. These minimum annual payments are subject to annual tariff rate adjustments on July 1, based on the Producer Price Index (“PPI”) or Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) index, but with the exception of the HEP IPA, generally will not decrease as a result of a decrease in the PPI or FERC index. As of ~~July 1,~~September 30, 2011, these agreements result in minimum annualized payments to HEP of ~~$140~~$145 million.

~~Financial Instruments~~

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.

AsThe carrying amounts and related estimated fair values of ~~June~~our debt instruments at September 30, 2011 ~~debt consisted~~and December 31, 2010 were as follows:

- 14 -


	September 30, 2011				December 31, 2010

HollyFrontier senior notes	$	659,850	$	684,829	$	289,509	$	327,000
HEP senior notes	$	325,213	$	337,938	$	323,271	$	339,900

These fair value estimates are based on market quotes (a Level 1 input) provided from a third-party bank. The fair value of ~~borrowings outstanding under HEP’s $275 million revolving~~the HEP credit agreement (the “HEP Credit Agreement”), our 9.875% senior notes due 2017 (the “HollyFrontier 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 $186 millionapproximates its carrying ~~amount of borrowings outstanding under the HEP Credit Agreement approximates fair~~ value as interest rates are reset frequently using current interest rates. At June 30, 2011, the estimated fair values of the HollyFrontier 9.875% Senior Notes, HEP 6.25% Senior Notes and HEP 8.25% Senior Notes were $333.8 million, $184.1 million and $159.4 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.

~~- 13 -~~

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, 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 is 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.

~~Earnings Per Share~~

NOTE 5: Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated as net income attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders divided by the average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted earnings per share assumes, when dilutive, the issuance of the net incremental shares from stock options, variable restricted shares and variable performance shares. The average number of shares of common stock and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split effective August 31, 2011. The following is a reconciliation of the denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations for net income attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders:

~~Stock-Based Compensation~~

~~On June 30, 2011, we had two principal~~NOTE 6: Stock-Based Compensation

In addition to our existing share-based compensation ~~plans that are described below~~plan, we have retained the legacy Frontier share-based compensation plan (collectively, the “Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan”). Upon our July 1 merger, outstanding and unvested restricted stock and performance share grants under the legacy Frontier plan were converted into equivalent HollyFrontier units based on the July 1, 2011 common stock conversion ratio of .4811. A portion of the fair value of these awards (based on our July 1, 2011 closing stock price of $35.93) relative to the remaining vesting period of the awards will be expensed over the remaining terms of these grants.

The compensation cost that has been charged against income for these plans was ~~$3.4~~$9.4 million and ~~$2.2~~$2.1 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and ~~$4.5~~$13.9 million and ~~$4.1~~$6.2 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

~~- 14 -~~

The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statement for share-based compensation arrangements was ~~$1.3~~$3.6 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and ~~$1.8~~$5.4 million and ~~$1.6~~$2.4 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010, 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.

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~~$0.6 million and ~~$0.3~~$0.4 million for the three months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and ~~$1.1~~$1.6 million and ~~$1.3~~$1.8 million for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

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.

A summary of restricted stock activity and changes during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 is presented below:

The total fair value of restricted stock vested and transferred to recipients during the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011 and 2010 was ~~$4.9~~$8.8 million and $4.2 million, respectively. As of ~~June~~September 30, 2011, there was ~~$5.5~~$22.8 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock grants. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 11.6 years.

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.

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 ~~June~~September 30, 2011, estimated share payouts for outstanding non-vested performance share unit awards ranged from ~~150%~~125% to ~~175%~~185%.

For the legacy Frontier performance share units assumed at July 1, 2011, performance is based on market performance criteria. These share unit awards are payable in stock based on share price performance relative to our peer group over a specified period and can range from zero to 125%.

NOTE 7: Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments in Marketable Securities

Our investment portfolio at ~~June~~September 30, 2011 consisted of cash, cash equivalents and investments in debt securities primarily issued by government entities. We also hold 1,000,000 shares of Connacher Oil and Gas Limited common stock that were received as partial consideration upon our sale of our Montana refinery in 2006.

- 17 -

We invest in highly-rated marketable debt securities, primarily issued by government entities that have maturities at the date of purchase of greater than three months. We also invest in other marketable debt securities with the maximum maturity of any individual issue generally not greater than two years from the date of purchase. All of these instruments including investments in equity securities are classified as available-for-sale, and as a result, are reported at fair value using quoted market prices. Interest income is recorded as earned. Unrealized gains and losses, net of related income taxes, are ~~considered temporary and are~~ reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. For investments in an unrealized loss position that are determined to be other than temporary, unrealized losses are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income and into earnings as an impairment loss. Upon sale, realized gains and losses on the sale of marketable securities are computed based on the specific identification of the underlying cost of the securities sold and the unrealized gains and losses previously reported in other comprehensive income are reclassified to current earnings.

Credit Facilities

On July 1, 2011, we entered into a $1 billion senior secured credit agreement (the “HollyFrontier ~~credit~~Credit Agreement”) with Union Bank, N.A. as administrative agent and BNP Paribas as syndication agent, and certain lenders from time to time party thereto, and terminated our previous $400 million credit ~~agreement discussed below.~~agreement. Additionally, Frontier terminated its previous $500 million credit agreement. The HollyFrontier Credit Agreement matures in July 2016 and may be used to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes. Obligations under the HollyFrontier Credit Agreement are collateralized by our inventory, accounts receivables and certain deposit accounts and guaranteed by our material, wholly-owned subsidiaries.

~~At June 30, 2011, we had a $400 million senior secured credit agreement expiring in March 2013 with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent and one of a syndicate of lenders.~~ We were in compliance with all covenants at ~~June~~September 30, 2011. At ~~June~~September 30, 2011 we had no outstanding borrowings and outstanding letters of credit ~~totaling $76.8 million.~~totaled $160.6 million under the HollyFrontier Credit Agreement. At that level of usage, the unused commitment was ~~$323.2~~$839.4 million at ~~June~~September 30, 2011.

Indebtedness under the HollyFrontier Credit Agreement bears interest, at our option, at either (a) the reference rate as announced by the administrative agent plus an applicable margin (ranging from 0.50% to 1.50%) or (b) at a rate equal to LIBOR plus an applicable margin (ranging from 1.50% to 2.50%). We incur a commitment fee on the unused portion of the HollyFrontier Credit Agreement at a rate ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% based upon the credit ratings of our long-term, unsecured, senior debt. At September 30, 2011, we are subject to a 0.375% commitment fee on the $839.4 million unused portion of the credit agreement.

The $275 million HEP Credit Agreement is available to fund capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, distribution payments and working capital and for general partnership purposes. In February 2011, HEP amended its previous credit agreement (expiring in August 2011), ~~extending~~extended the expiration date and slightly ~~reducing~~reduced 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 HEP 6.25% Senior Notes (discussed below) are not repurchased, refinanced, extended or repaid prior to September 1, 2014, the HEP Credit Agreement shall expire on that date. At September 30, 2011, HEP had outstanding borrowings totaling $202 million under the HEP Credit Agreement, with unused borrowing capacity of $73 million.

HollyFrontier 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 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 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.

NOTE 11: Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Commodity Price Risk Management

Our primary market risk is commodity price risk. We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in crude oil and refined products, as well as volatility in the price of natural gas used in our refining operations.

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.

- 21 -

As of ~~June~~September 30, 2011, we have outstanding swap contracts serving as cash flow hedges against price risk on forecasted 2012 purchases of 10,980,000 barrels of WTI crude oil and forecasted sales of 5,490,000 barrels of ultra-low sulfur diesel and 5,490,000 barrels of conventional unleaded gasoline. In the aggregate, these cash flow hedges effectively hedge our gross margin on forecasted gasoline and diesel sales, totaling 30,000 BPD in 2012. These contracts have been designated as accounting hedges and are measured quarterly at fair value with offsetting adjustments (gains/losses) recorded directly to other comprehensive income. These fair value adjustments are later reclassified in the income statement as the hedging instruments mature. Also on a quarterly basis, hedge effectiveness is measured by comparing the change in fair value of the swap contracts against the expected future cash inflows/outflows on the respective transaction being hedged. Any ineffectiveness is recorded to cost of products sold. To date, ineffectiveness on these cash flow hedges have been insignificant.

We also have outstanding commodity price swap contracts serving as economic hedges to protect the value of temporary crude oil inventory builds of ~~210,000~~15,000 barrels against price volatility ~~and to~~through November 2011. Also, we have swap contracts that lock in the ~~spread~~following spreads between WTS and WTI crude oil ~~with respect to~~on forecasted purchases ~~of 3.5 million~~(1,403,000 barrels of crude ~~oil.~~oil through the end of 2011); between gasoline and butane on forecasted sales (225,000 barrels of gasoline through January 2012); between fuel oil and WTI crude oil on forecasted sales (276,000 barrels of fuel oil through the end of 2011); and between WTI crude oil and various other products on forecasted sales and purchases (279,000 barrels, net through 2013). These contracts are measured quarterly at fair value with offsetting adjustments ~~(gains /~~ (gains/losses) recorded directly to cost of products sold.

Interest Rate Risk Management

HEP uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to interest rate risk.

As of ~~June~~September 30, 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 ~~2.50%~~2.5%, which equaled an effective interest rate of 6.24% as of ~~June~~September 30, 2011. This interest rate swap contract has been designated as a cash flow hedge and matures in February 2013. There was no ineffectiveness on this cash flow hedge for the periods covered in these consolidated financial statements.

~~This contract initially hedged variable LIBOR~~The following table presents the fair values of outstanding derivative instruments.

The stock dividend was paid August 31, 2011 to all shareholders of record on August 24, 2011. We have retained the current par value of $0.01 per share for all shares of our common stock and have reclassified $763,000 (the amount equal to the par value of the additional stock issued) from additional capital to common stock to reflect this stock split at December 31, 2010.

In September 2011, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase authorization of up to $100 million to repurchase common stock in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of stock repurchases will depend on market conditions, corporate, regulatory and other relevant considerations. The stock repurchase program may be discontinued at any time by the Board of Directors.

~~Retirement Plan~~

We have a non-contributory defined benefit retirement plan that covers most of ~~our~~the legacy Holly non-union employees hired prior to January 1, 2007 and union employees prior to July 1, 2010. 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.

- 24 -

The retirement plan is closed to all new employees. To the extent an employee was hired prior to the plan closing date (January 1, 2007 for non-union employees and July 1, 2010 for union employees) and elected to participate in automatic contributions features under our defined contribution plan, their participation in future benefits of the retirement plan has been frozen. Effective January 1, 2012, benefits for all non-union employees participating in the retirement plan will cease. There will be a transition benefit over the next three years for such employees. Additionally, there will be changes in the employer contribution feature of our defined contribution for all non-union employees.

~~Contingencies~~

~~In May 2007, the United States Court~~Upon our July 1, 2011 merger with Frontier, we recorded a long-term liability of ~~Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (“Court of Appeals”) issued its decision on petitions for review, brought by us~~$45.3 million that relates to a post-retirement healthcare and other ~~parties, concerning rulings by~~benefits plan that is available to certain eligible employees of the ~~FERC in proceedings brought by us~~El Dorado Refinery who were hired before certain defined dates and ~~other parties against SFPP, L.P. (“SFPP”). These proceedings relate to tariffs of common carrier pipelines, which~~satisfy certain age and service requirements. Under this program, employees hired on or before November 16, 1999 qualify for retirement healthcare insurance until eligible for Medicare. Employees hired on or before January 1, 1995 are ~~owned and operated by SFPP,~~also eligible 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 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 forMedicare supplemental insurance. For the period from ~~January 1992~~July 1, 2011 through ~~May 2006. In 2003~~September 30, 2011, 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 $1.3recognized $0.8 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.benefit costs under this plan.

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.NOTE 15: Contingencies

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.

Additionally, the Refining segment includes specialty lubricant products produced at our Tulsa Refinery that are marketed throughout North America and are distributed in Central and South America. NK Asphalt operates various asphalt terminals in Arizona, New Mexico and Texas.

~~- 23 -~~

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 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, 2010.

NOTE 17: Supplemental Guarantor/Non-Guarantor Financial Information

Our obligations under the HollyFrontier ~~9.875%~~ Senior Notes have been jointly and severally guaranteed by the substantial majority of our existing and future restricted subsidiaries (“Guarantor Restricted Subsidiaries”)., which includes certain Frontier subsidiaries that merged with us on July 1, 2011. These guarantees are full and unconditional. HEP, in which we have a 34% ownership interest as of September 30, 2011, 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 HollyFrontier (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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Item 2 contains “forward-looking” statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of Part I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Holly Corporation (“Holly”) changed its name to HollyFrontier Corporation (“HollyFrontier” or “HollyFrontier Corporation”) in connection with the consummation of its “merger of equals” with Frontier Oil Corporation (“Frontier”), which became effective on July 1, 2011 (see description below). ~~All previous references to “Holly” within this document have been replaced with “HollyFrontier.”~~ References herein to HollyFrontier Corporation with respect to time periods ~~through and including June 30,~~prior to July 1, 2011 include Holly and its consolidated subsidiaries and do not include Frontier and its consolidated ~~subsidiaries since the merger had not been consummated as of June 30, 2011, while references~~subsidiaries.

Unless otherwise specified, the financial information included herein ~~are as of and~~includes financial information for the merged Frontier business operations for the period ~~ended June~~July 1, 2011 to September 30, ~~2011 and, thus, do not include financial information for Frontier.~~2011. In this document, the words “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” refer only to HollyFrontier and its consolidated subsidiaries or to HollyFrontier or an individual subsidiary and not to any other person. ~~The~~Also, the words “we,” “our,” “ours” and “us” generally include Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”) and its subsidiaries as consolidated subsidiaries of HollyFrontier with certain exceptions where there are transactions or obligations between HEP and HollyFrontier or its other subsidiaries. This document contains certain disclosures of agreements that are specific to HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries and do not necessarily represent obligations of HollyFrontier. When used in descriptions of agreements and transactions, “HEP” refers to HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries.

OVERVIEW

We are principally an independent petroleum refiner that produces ~~high value light~~high-value refined products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, specialty lubricant products, and specialty and modified asphalt. ~~Navajo Refining Company, L.L.C.~~We operate five refineries having a combined crude oil processing capacity of 443,000 barrels per day that serve markets throughout the Mid-Continent, Southwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States. Our refineries are located in El Dorado, Kansas (the “El Dorado Refinery”), ~~one~~Tulsa, Oklahoma (the, “Tulsa Refinery”) which is comprised of ~~our wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns~~two facilities, the Tulsa Refinery west and east facilities, a petroleum refinery 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”)~~. The Navajo Refinery can process sour (high sulfur) crude oils~~, Cheyenne, Wyoming (the, “Cheyenne Refinery”) and ~~serves markets in the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. Our refinery located just north of Salt Lake City,~~Woods Cross, Utah (the “Woods Cross Refinery”) is operated by Holly Refining & Marketing Company – Woods Cross LLC, one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries. This facility is a high conversion refinery that primarily processes regional sweet (lower sulfur) and sour Canadian crude oils. Our refinery located in Tulsa, Oklahoma (the “Tulsa Refinery”) is comprised of two facilities, the Tulsa Refinery west and east facilities.

At June 30, 2011, we owned a 34% interest in HEP, a consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”), which includes our 2% general partner interest. HEP has logistic assets including petroleum product and crude oil pipelines located in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and 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 (“SLC Pipeline”), a new 95-mile intrastate pipeline system that serves refineries in the Salt Lake City area.

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 six months ended June 30, 2011, sales and other revenues were $5,293.7 million and net income attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders was $276.9 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, sales and other revenues were $4,020.2 million and the net income attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders was $38.1 million. Our principal expenses are costs of products sold and operating expenses. Our total operating costs and expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2011 were $4,804.4 million compared to $3,910.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010..

On February 21, 2011, we entered into a merger agreement providing for a “merger of equals” business combination between us and Frontier. On July 1, 2011, North Acquisition, Inc. a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of Holly merged with and into Frontier, with Frontier surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Holly. Concurrent with the merger, we changed our name to HollyFrontier Corporation and changed the ~~trading~~ticker symbol

~~- 30 -~~

for our common stock traded on the New York Stock Exchange to “HFC.” Subsequent to the merger and following approval by the post-closing board of directors of HollyFrontier, Frontier merged with and into HollyFrontier, with HollyFrontier continuing as the surviving corporation. This merger combined the legacy Frontier refinery operations, the El Dorado and Cheyenne Refineries, with Holly’s legacy refinery operations to form HollyFrontier.

In accordance with the merger agreement, we issued approximately ~~51.4~~102.8 million shares of HollyFrontier common stock in exchange for outstanding shares of Frontier common stock to former Frontier stockholders. Each outstanding share of Frontier common stock was converted into 0.4811 shares of HollyFrontier common stock with any fractional shares paid in cash. Based on the July 1, 2011 market closing price of ~~$71.86,~~$35.93, the aggregate equity consideration paid in connection with the merger was approximately $3.7 billion. This is based on our July 1, 2011 market closing price of $35.93 and includes a portion of the fair value of the outstanding equity-based awards assumed from Frontier that relates to pre-merger services. The number of shares issued in connection with our merger with Frontier and the closing market price of our common stock at July 1, 2011 have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split on August 31, 2011.

At September 30, 2011, we owned a 34% interest in HEP, a consolidated variable interest entity (“VIE”), which includes our 2% general partner interest. HEP has logistic assets including petroleum product and crude oil pipelines located in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and 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 (“SLC Pipeline”), a new 95-mile intrastate pipeline system that serves refineries in the Salt Lake City area.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, sales and other revenues were $10.5 billion and net income attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders was $800 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, sales and other revenues were $6.1 billion and net income attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders was $89.2 million. Our principal expenses are costs of products sold and operating expenses. Our total operating costs and expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2011 were $9.1 billion compared to $5.9 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

Beginning July 1, 2011, HollyFrontier’s consolidated financial and operating results ~~will~~ reflect the operations of the merged Frontier businesses. ~~This includes a 135,000 barrels per stream day (“bpsd”) refinery located in El Dorado, Kansas (the “El Dorado Refinery”)~~Assuming the merger had been consummated on January 1, 2010, the beginning of the earliest period presented, pro forma revenues and ~~a 52,000 bpsd refinery located in Cheyenne, Wyoming (the “Cheyenne Refinery”) that serve markets~~net income (except in the ~~Rocky Mountain and Plains States regions~~case of the ~~United States.~~three months ended September 30, 2011 which represent actual results) are as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2011		2010		2011		2010
	(In thousands)
Sales and other revenues	$	5,173,398	$	3,507,460	$	14,446,297	$	10,348,634
Net income attributable to HollyFrontier stockholders	$	523,088	$	66,792	$	1,129,775	$	142,499

Sales and other revenues for both the three and nine month comparable periods increased principally due to increased sales prices of produced refined products sold. The net income increases are principally due to significantly higher refinery gross margins realized in 2011.

On August 3, 2011, our Board of Directors declared a two-for-one stock split, payable in the form of a common stock dividend for each issued and outstanding share of our common stock. The stock dividend was paid August 31, 2011 to all shareholders of record on August 24, 2011. All references to share and per share amounts in this document and related disclosures have been adjusted to reflect the effect of the stock split for all periods presented.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as ~~(“EBITDA”),~~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.

Additionally, Frontier terminated its previous $500 million credit agreement. The HollyFrontier Credit Agreement matures in July 2016 and may be used to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes. Obligations under the HollyFrontier Credit Agreement are collateralized by our inventory, accounts receivables and certain deposit accounts and guaranteed by our material, wholly-owned subsidiaries.

HEP Credit Agreement

HEP has a $275 million senior secured revolving Credit Agreement (the “HEP Credit Agreement”) that is available to fund capital expenditures, investments, acquisitions, distribution payments and working capital and for general partnership purposes. In February 2011, HEP amended its previous credit agreement (expiring in August 2011), ~~extending~~extended the expiration date and ~~reducing~~slightly reduced 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 ~~June~~September 30, 2011, HEP had outstanding borrowings totaling ~~$186~~$202 million under the HEP Credit Agreement, with unused borrowing capacity of ~~$89~~$73 million.

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. HEP’s creditors have no other recourse to our assets. Furthermore, our creditors have no recourse to the assets of HEP and its consolidated subsidiaries.

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. HEP does not expect to experience any difficulty in the lenders’ ability to honor their respective commitments, and if it were to become necessary, HEP believes there would be alternative lenders or options available.

HollyFrontier Senior Notes ~~Due 2017~~

Our ~~$300 million 9.875%~~ senior notes ~~(the “HollyFrontier~~ consist of the following:

9.875% Senior Notes ($300 million principal amount maturing June 2017)

Additionally, we have certain redemption rights under the HollyFrontier ~~9.875%~~ Senior Notes.

~~HEP Senior Notes Due 2018 and 2015~~

In March 2010, HEP issued $150 million in aggregate principal amount of 8.25% senior notes maturing in March 2018 (the “HEP 8.25% Senior Notes”). A portion of the $147.5 million in net proceeds received was used to fund HEP’s $93 million purchase of certain storage assets at our Tulsa Refinery east facility and Navajo Refinery Lovington facility on March 31, 2010. Additionally, HEP used a portion to repay $42 million in outstanding HEP Credit Agreement borrowings, with the remaining proceeds available for general partnership purposes, including working capital and capital expenditures.

HEP also has $185 million in aggregate principal amount outstanding of 6.25% senior notes maturing in March 2015 (the “HEP 6.25% Senior Notes”) that are registered with the SEC. The HEP 6.25% Senior Notes and HEP 8.25% Senior Notes (collectively, the “HEP Senior Notes”) are unsecured and impose certain restrictive covenants, including limitations on HEP’s ability to incur additional indebtedness, make investments, sell assets, incur certain liens, pay distributions, enter into transactions with affiliates, and enter into mergers.

HollyFrontier 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.

HEP Senior Notes

HEP’s senior notes consist of the following:

6.25% Senior Notes ($185 million principal amount maturing March 2015)

8.25% Senior Notes ($150 million principal amount maturing March 2018)

See “Risk Management” for a discussion of HEP’s interest rate swap contracts.

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 legacy Frontier projects not discussed below)~~ 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, 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.

Capital expenditures were significantly higher in the ~~six~~nine months ending ~~June~~September 30, 2011 due to construction of the UNEV Pipeline system. During the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, we invested $9.1 million in Sabine Biofuels, a development stage biodiesel production facility. Also for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~June~~September 30, 2011, we invested ~~$157.8~~$370 million in marketable securities and received proceeds of ~~$68.2~~$194.4 million from the sale or maturity of marketable securities.

Planned Capital Expenditures

HollyFrontier Corporation

Each year our Board of Directors ~~approves in our annual capital budget~~approve 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. ~~As of June 30, 2011, our total~~Our expected capital ~~budget~~spending for ~~2011 is $142.4 million. Additionally, capital costs of $11.7 million have been approved for refinery turnarounds and tank work.

We are currently planning to complete the integration projects by the end of this summer.expansion.

The Tulsa Refinery facilities also will be required to comply with new MSAT2 regulations in order to meet new federal benzene reduction requirements for gasoline. We have decided to primarily use existing equipment at the Tulsa Refinery east facility to split reformate from reformers at both west and east facilities and install a new benzene saturation unit to achieve the required benzene reduction at an estimated cost of $29 million. We ~~will be~~are 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 average 1.3% benzene levels on an annual basis beginning in July 2012. This project was mechanically complete at the end of the third quarter and is in the process of startup.

~~- 43 -~~

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. Our Board of Directors have approved a project for ~~$44~~$58 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 at an estimated cost of $10 million.

Navajo Refinery

The Navajo Refinery currently plans to comply with the new MSAT2 regulations by the fractionation of naphtha by revamping an existing fractionation unit to achieve benzene in gasoline levels below 1.3%. The Navajo Refinery will purchase or use credits generated at the Tulsa Refinery to reduce benzene content 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. Also, we will be installing a new storm water surge tank and upgrading several other processes at the Artesia refinery’s ~~Artesia~~ waste water treatment plant. These projects are expected to cost approximately $17 million.

Woods Cross Refinery

Our Woods Cross Refinery is required to install a wet gas scrubber on its FCC unit by the end of 2012. We estimate the total cost to be $15 million. The MSAT2 solution for the refinery involves revamping its naphtha fractionation unit and installing a benzene saturation unit at an estimated cost of $18 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.

Cheyenne Refinery

At the Cheyenne Refinery, we are mechanically complete on an LPG recovery project that will recover significant quantities of saleable propane and butane and other LPGs for alkylation unit feed from the refinery fuel gas system. The project is estimated to cost approximately $40 million and is in the process of startup. Due to the merger of Holly and Frontier, our Cheyenne Refinery has until the end of 2013 to comply with the MSAT2 regulations because we no longer qualify for the small refiner’s exemption. We are currently in the process of determining the most economical solution.

El Dorado Refinery

At the El Dorado Refinery, we have a coker furnace replacement project which will replace the existing furnace with the latest technology in coking furnaces. This project, which is expected to cost $25 million, will let us avoid a substantial rebuild of the existing furnace in the 2013 turnaround and reduce the ongoing impact on coker throughput from decoking. This project is estimated to be completed in late 2012. The El Dorado Refinery has until the end of 2013 to comply with the MSAT2 regulations because as a result of the merger between Holly and

- 46 -

Frontier we no longer qualify for the small refiner’s exemption. We currently operate with the gasoline pool below the 1.3% benzene requirement but are considering expanding our aromatic extraction unit to either generate benzene credits or minimize credit purchase requirements.

UNEV

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 $385 million, with our share of the cost totaling $289 million. This project includes the construction of ethanol blending and storage facilities at the Cedar City terminal. The pipeline is in the final construction phase and is expected to be mechanically complete in November 2011 with startup by the ~~fourth quarter~~end of ~~2011.~~

the year. 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 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

~~- 44 -~~

approved for capital projects included in its current year capital budget as well as, in certain cases, expenditures approved for capital projects in capital budgets for prior years. The 2011 HEP capital budget is comprised of $5.8 million for maintenance capital expenditures and $20.1 million for expansion capital expenditures.

These pipelines were placed in ~~the late summer of~~service in September 2011. ~~We are finalizing terms for a long-term agreement with HEP to transfer intermediate products via these pipelines that will commence upon completion of the project.~~

Additionally, HEP has two expansion projects to provide 60,000 bpd of additional crude pipeline take-away capacity resulting from increased Delaware Basin drilling activity in southeast New Mexico. The first project will increase one of ~~HEP’s~~its existing crude oil trunk lines from 35,000 bpd to 60,000 bpd.

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, 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 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.

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.

- 49 -

Commodity Price Risk Management

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.

We also have outstanding commodity price swap contracts serving as economic hedges to protect the value of temporary crude oil inventory builds of ~~210,000~~15,000 barrels against price volatility ~~and to~~through November 2011. Also, we have swap contracts that lock in the ~~spread~~following spreads: between WTS and WTI crude oil ~~with respect to~~on forecasted purchases ~~of 3.5 million~~(1,403,000 barrels of crude ~~oil.~~oil through the end of 2011); between gasoline and butane on forecasted sales (225,000 barrels of gasoline through January 2012); between fuel oil and WTI crude oil on forecasted sales (276,000 barrels of fuel oil through the end of 2011); and between WTI crude oil and various other products on forecasted sales and purchases (279,000 barrels, net through 2013). These contracts are measured quarterly at fair value with offsetting adjustments ~~(gains /~~ (gains/losses) recorded directly to cost of products sold.

~~There was no ineffectiveness on the cash flow hedges during the periods covered in these consolidated financial statements.~~

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.

~~At June 30, 2011, outstanding principal under~~For the fixed rate HollyFrontier ~~9.875% Senior Notes, HEP 6.25%~~ Senior Notes and HEP ~~8.25%~~ Senior Notes, ~~was $300 million, $185 million and $150 million, respectively.

We estimate that~~estimated change in fair value assuming a hypothetical 10% change in the yield-to-maturity rates ~~applicable to~~for these ~~notes would result in a fair value change to the notes~~debt instruments as of ~~approximately $12.7 million, $4.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively.~~September 30, 2011 is presented below:

- 51 -


	Outstanding Principal		Estimated Fair Value		Estimated Change in Fair Value
	(In thousands)
HollyFrontier Senior Notes	$	649,985	$	684,829	$	32,986
HEP Senior Notes	$	335,000	$	337,938	$	9,450

For the variable rate HEP Credit Agreement, changes in interest rates would affect cash flows, but not the fair value. At ~~June~~September 30, 2011, borrowings outstanding under the HEP Credit Agreement were ~~$186~~$202 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 6.24%. For the unhedged ~~$31~~$47 million portion, a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates applicable to the HEP Credit Agreement would not materially affect cash flows.

At ~~June~~September 30, 2011, cash and cash equivalents included investments in investment grade, highly liquid investments with maturities of three 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 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.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which we refer to as EBITDA, is calculated as net income attributable to HollyFrontier 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.

Set forth below is our calculation of EBITDA.

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 per barrel is the difference between average net sales price and average cost of products per barrel of produced refined products. Net operating margin per barrel is the difference between refinery gross margin and ~~net operating margin using net sales, cost of products and~~refinery operating expenses ~~in each case averaged~~ per barrel of produced ~~barrel sold.~~refined products. 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.

We purchase crude oil that at times exceeds the supply needs of our refineries. Quantities in excess of our needs are sold at market prices to purchasers of crude oil that are recorded on a gross basis with the sales price recorded as revenues and the corresponding acquisition cost as inventory and then upon sale as cost of products sold. Additionally, we enter into buy/sell exchanges of crude oil with certain parties to facilitate the delivery of quantities to certain locations that are netted at carryover cost.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

Commitment and Contingency Reserves

~~When deemed necessary, we~~We periodically 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~~

~~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 FERC in proceedings brought by us and other parties against 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 as 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.

~~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 2007 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.

~~The Latest Rate Proceeding~~

~~- 57 -~~

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 August 2, 2010. On September 15, 2010, the FERC approved an interim partial settlement pursuant to which SFPP 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~~(along with other ~~companies~~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~~approximately 10 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. Two wrongful death lawsuits and two personal injury lawsuits seeking damages, including punitive damages, were filed on behalf of the estates of the two deceased workers and on behalf of the two survivors in state court in Dallas County, Texas (two lawsuits) and state court in Eddy County, New Mexico (two lawsuits). A confidential settlement ~~has been~~was reached in the two Texas cases, and the ~~Texas~~ cases ~~were dismissed on August 4, 2011.~~have been dismissed. One of the cases in New Mexico is set for trial in March of 2012. The other case is not set for trial. At the date of this report, it is not possible to predict the percentage of fault that may be attributed to Navajo Refining Company, LLC, our subsidiary (“Navajo”), though fault can be expected. This matter is being reported due to the serious nature of the injuries and potential verdicts. Because of our insurance coverage, the total cost to the Company for these cases is not expected to be material.

New Mexico OHSB 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 1one 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 took place on November 17, 2010, at which time counsel for the parties discussed possible settlement options.~~ The parties were unable to reach an ~~agreement.

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 (“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 OHSRC 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 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 OHSRC on August 11, 2010. On August 23, 2010, the OHSRC 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 ~~PSM~~Process Safety Management standard. OSHA proposed penalties totaling $57,150. ~~HRM-Tulsa~~Our subsidiary, Holly Refining & Marketing – Tulsa LLC, our subsidiary (“HRM-Tulsa”), filed a notice of contest, and challenged each citation item. The matter has been assigned to Judge Patrick B. Augustine. Discovery is in progress. The parties met to discuss settlement options on July 7, 2011. Although they were unable to reach an agreement at the meeting, the parties have continued to engage in settlement discussions. If a settlement cannot be reached, the hearing in this matter is scheduled to begin onOn October ~~25, 2011.~~

OSHA began the NEP inspection of our Tulsa Refinery west facility on September 14, 2010. On March 14, 2011, OSHA issued a citation alleging 15 serious violations of federal workplace standards. OSHA proposed penalties totaling $62,500. On April 4,12, 2011, a settlement ~~was reached that was~~ favorable to HRM-Tulsa was reached in which four of the citation items were withdrawn, several were reclassified as other than serious, and the total penalty was reduced to ~~$31,750.~~$9,500.

On March 28, 2011, OSHA issued a serious citation to HRM-Tulsa with respect to the Tulsa Refinery west facility, alleging one facility siting and two housekeeping violations, which stemmed from its investigation of an employee complaint that it received during ~~the~~a previous NEP inspection. OSHA proposed penalties of $6,275. HRM Tulsa 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 15, 2011. Discovery is ~~underway. Judge John H. Schumacher~~underway and the hearing is ~~presiding over this matter, and he has~~ scheduled ~~the hearing~~ to commence January 10, 2012.

Discharge Permit Appeal —– Tulsa Refinery West Facility

~~Our subsidiary,~~ HRM-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-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 are 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.~~west facility. The ODEQ’s primary area of concern iswas the number of valves that the facility ~~has~~had classed as “Difficult to Monitor.” The agency ~~maintains~~maintained 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. After further discussion with the EPA, the ODEQ has now decided not to pursue the matter any further.

The parties have asked 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 sameoriginal notification also disclosed the agency’s intent to seek a separate fine of $17,500 for ~~alleged~~separate Clean Air Act violations that were alleged to have occurred at the Tulsa Refinery ~~East Facility.~~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 and believes that the proposed fine will be substantially reduced. ~~However, it~~Even if this remaining fine is not reduced, the amount at issue is not material without the alleged valve violations that are no longer being pursued.

Benzene Waste Operations Regulatory Proceedings – Tulsa Refinery East and West Facilities

On July 13, 2011, the Environmental Protection Agency issued a determination that HRM – Tulsa’s two refineries should be considered a single facility for purposes of a particular Clean Air Act regulation, the

- 58 -

Benzene Waste Operations NESHAP. As a single facility, the refineries’ emissions would be combined for purposes of assessing whether they were exceeding the relevant regulatory threshold. We disagree with this interpretation, however, and have appealed the matter to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. Should it be ultimately determined that the two refineries are to be treated as a single unit for these purposes, the cost of compliance would be an estimated $10 million. It is possible ~~at this point~~that the regulatory agencies will rely on the announced interpretation to ~~estimate what~~seek fines as well. The amount ifof any ~~will ultimately~~such fines cannot currently be ~~assessed for any of the foregoing items.~~estimated.

Litigation Related to the Merger with Frontier Oil Corporation

Twelve substantially similar shareholder lawsuits styled as class actions ~~have been~~were 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, Holly and our ~~then~~ wholly owned subsidiary, North Acquisition, Inc., as aiders and abettors. Further, in the three federal court cases discussed more fully below, we and/or North Acquisition, Inc. also are alleged to have violated Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934 by soliciting proxies based on an allegedly false and/or misleading proxy statement concerning the proposed merger. To date, such shareholder actions ~~have been filed~~remain pending 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~~ One case 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).was dismissed without prejudice.

These lawsuits generally allege that (1) the consideration ~~to be~~ received by Frontier’s shareholders in the merger iswas 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. In the three federal court cases discussed more fully below, we and/or North Acquisition, Inc. were also alleged to have violated Section 14(a) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act of 1934 by soliciting proxies based on an allegedly false and/or misleading proxy statement concerning the merger. 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.

~~- 60 -~~

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 material information or making materially inadequate disclosures concerning the proposed merger in the registration statement on Form S-4. On March 25, 2011, theThe eight lawsuits ~~pending~~filed in the District ~~Court~~Courts of Harris County, Texas ~~were~~(the “Texas State Court Lawsuits”) are consolidated under the ~~style~~caption: In ~~re:~~re Frontier Oil ~~Corp.,~~Corporation, Cause No. 2011-11451 ~~and interim class counsel was appointed on April~~(first case filed February 22, 2011). On September 12, ~~2011. On May 9,~~ 2011, ~~Holly answered~~ the ~~consolidated amended petition, generally denying the allegations~~lead plaintiff and ~~asserting affirmative defenses. Some limited discovery occurred.~~

~~On June 17, 2011,~~ the defendants in the ~~consolidated state court lawsuit reached an agreement-in-principle with~~Texas State Court Lawsuits submitted a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement to the ~~plaintiffs regarding~~Court for preliminary approval. Pursuant to that agreement, the ~~settlement of that lawsuit.

In connection with the approval of the~~scheduled a final settlement a hearing ~~will be scheduled at which~~for January 6, 2012. At that time, the court will consider the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the settlement which, if finally approved by the court, will resolve on behalf of the class all of the claims that were or could have been brought in the actions being settled, including all claims relating to the merger, the merger agreement and any disclosure made in connection therewith. In addition, in connection with the settlement, the parties contemplate that plaintiff’s counsel will petition the court for an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses to be paid by the defendants.settled. We cannot be certain that the ~~parties will ultimately enter into a written settlement agreement or that the~~ court will approve the ~~settlement even if the parties were to enter into such an agreement.~~settlement. If ~~the court~~it does not, ~~approve~~ the settlement ~~the proposed settlement as contemplated by the agreement-in-principle~~ may be terminated.

The ~~settlement will not affect the amount of merger consideration paid~~lawsuit filed in the ~~merger.~~

~~With respect to~~U.S. District Court for the ~~federal lawsuits,~~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). On June ~~22,~~29, 2011, the ~~United States~~plaintiff filed an amended complaint, and one month later, the parties filed an agreed motion to stay the case so that the proposed settlement in the Texas State Court Lawsuits could be considered and resolved by the state court. The motion to stay was granted.

The two remaining lawsuits filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas ~~granted~~are consolidated under the ~~plaintiffs’ motion to consolidate the~~caption: Tim Wilcox, Individually and ~~Rhymes cases. In addition to the claims described in general above, these lawsuits also allege that the defendants violated Sections 14(a) and 20(a)~~Behalf 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~~All Others Similarly Situated v. Frontier Oil Corporation, et al. (first case filed on ~~Form S-4. On April 21, 2011, we~~March 7, 2011). We and our wholly owned subsidiary moved to dismiss the amended ~~class action complaints filed~~complaint on April 21, 2011, and the other defendants moved for dismissal in ~~the Wilcox and Rhymes cases. That motion remains pending.~~

~~On May 6, 2011, we also moved~~July after they were served. These motions to dismiss the original class action complaint filed in the Chiarelli case; our subsidiary was not named as a defendant in that action. Rather than respond to that motion, the plaintiff sought and obtained the court’s permission to file an amended complaint, which was filed onremain pending. On June ~~29, 2011. On July 29,~~24, 2011, the ~~parties filed an agreed motion to stay the Chiarelli case so that the proposed settlement in the consolidated state~~ court ~~action could be considered and resolved by the court in Harris County. That motion was granted on August 4, 2011.~~

~~On June 22, 2011, the plaintiffs in the Wilcox and Rhymes cases filed a~~denied plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to enjoin the proposed merger and to prevent Frontier’s shareholders from voting on it. On August 9, 2011, the defendants filed an unopposed motion to stay the consolidated case in light of the proposed ~~merger at a shareholders meeting~~settlement of the Texas State Court Lawsuits. The court has not yet ruled on ~~June 28, 2011. After a hearing on June 24, 2011, the court denied the plaintiffs’~~that motion. ~~The federal lawsuits remain pending.~~

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.
