MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
June 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
(1) General
Martin Midstream Partners L.P. (the Partnership) is a publicly traded limited partnership
which provides terminalling and storage services for petroleum products and by-products, natural
gas services, marine transportation services for petroleum products and by-products, sulfur
gathering, processing and distribution and fertilizer manufacturing and distribution.
The Partnerships unaudited consolidated and condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these financial statements have been
condensed and do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for annual audited financial statements of the type contained in the
Partnerships annual reports on Form 10-K. In the opinion of the management of the Partnerships
general partner, all adjustments and elimination of significant intercompany balances necessary for
a fair presentation of the Partnerships results of operations, financial position and cash flows
for the periods shown have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Results for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for
the full year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnerships
audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Partnerships annual
report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the SEC) on March 5, 2007.
(a) Use of Estimates
Management has made a number of estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of assets
and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities to
prepare these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(b) Unit Grants
The Partnership issued 1,000 restricted common units to each of its three independent,
non-employee directors under its long-term incentive plan in January 2006. These units vest in
25% increments on the anniversary of the grant date each year and will be fully vested in January
2010.
The Partnership issued 1,000 restricted common units to each of its three independent,
non-employee directors under its long-term incentive plan in May 2007. These units vest in 25%
increments beginning in January 2008 and will be fully vested in January 2011.
The Partnership accounts for the transaction under Emerging Issues Task Force 96-18
Accounting for Equity Instruments That are Issued to other than Employees For Acquiring, or in
Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services. The cost resulting from the share-based payment
transactions was $15 and $6 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 and $26 and $9 for
the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The Partnerships general partner contributed cash of
$2 in January 2006 and $3 in May 2007 to the Partnership in conjunction with the issuance of these
restricted units in order to maintain its 2% general partner interest in the Partnership.
(c) Incentive Distribution Rights
The Partnerships general partner, Martin Midstream GP LLC, holds a 2% general partner
interest and certain incentive distribution rights in the Partnership. Incentive distribution
rights represent the right to receive an increasing percentage of cash distributions after the
minimum quarterly distribution, any cumulative arrearages on common units, and certain target
distribution levels have been achieved. The Partnership is required to distribute all of its
available cash from operating surplus, as defined in the partnership agreement. The target
distribution levels entitle the general partner to receive 15% of quarterly cash distributions in
excess of $0.55 per unit until all unitholders have received $0.625 per unit, 25% of quarterly cash
distributions in

(Unaudited)
excess of $0.625 per unit until all unitholders have received $0.75 per unit, and
50% of quarterly cash distributions in excess of $0.75 per unit. For the three months ended June
30, 2007 and 2006 the general partner received $240 and $134 in incentive distributions. For the
six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, the general partner received and $402 and $268 in
incentive distributions.
(d) Net Income per Unit
Except as discussed in the following paragraph, basic and diluted net income per limited
partner unit is determined by dividing net income after deducting the amount allocated to the
general partner interest (including its incentive distribution in excess of its 2% interest) by the
weighted average number of outstanding limited partner units during the period. Subject to
applicability of Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 03-06 (EITF 03-06), Participating
Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, as discussed below, Partnership
income is first allocated to the general partner based on the amount of incentive distributions.
The remainder is then allocated between the limited partners and general partner based on
percentage ownership in the Partnership.
EITF 03-06 addresses the computation of earnings per share by entities that have issued
securities other than common stock that contractually entitle the holder to participate in
dividends and earnings of the entity when, and if, it declares dividends on its common stock.
Essentially, EITF 03-06 provides that in any accounting period where the Partnerships aggregate
net income exceeds the Partnerships aggregate distribution for such period, the Partnership is
required to present earnings per unit as if all of the earnings for the periods were distributed,
regardless of the pro forma nature of this allocation and whether those earnings would actually be
distributed during a particular period from an economic or practical perspective. EITF 03-06 does
not impact the Partnerships overall net income or other financial results; however, for periods in
which aggregate net income exceeds the Partnerships aggregate distributions for such period, it
will have the impact of reducing the earnings per limited partner unit. This result occurs as a
larger portion of the Partnerships aggregate earnings is allocated to the incentive distribution
rights held by the Partnerships general partner, as if distributed, even though the Partnership
makes cash distributions on the basis of cash available for distributions, not earnings, in any given accounting period. In accounting periods where aggregate net
income does not exceed the Partnerships aggregate distributions for such period, EITF 03-06 does
not have any impact on the Partnerships earnings per unit calculation.
The weighted average units outstanding for basic net income per unit were 13,638,101 and
12,682,342 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 13,478,271 and
12,491,734 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For diluted net income
per unit, the weighted average units outstanding were increased by 4,849 and 2,660 for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 4,975 and 2,694 for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, due to the dilutive effect of restricted units granted under
the Partnerships long-term incentive plan.
(e) Income taxes
With
respect to our taxable subsidiary (Woodlawn Pipeline Company Inc.), income taxes are accounted for under the
asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax
consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of
existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities
are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which
those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax
assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes
the enactment date.
(2) Acquisitions
(a) Lubricants Terminal
In June 2007, the Partnership acquired all of the operating assets of Mega Lubricants Inc.
(Mega Lubricants) located in Channelview, Texas. The terminal is located on 5.6 acres of land, and
consists of 38

In connection with the acquisition, the Partnership borrowed approximately $4,600 under its
revolving credit facility.
(b) Woodlawn Pipeline Company Inc.
On May 2, 2007, the Partnership, through its subsidiary Prism Gas Systems I, L.P. (Prism
Gas), acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Woodlawn Pipeline Company Inc. (Woodlawn). The
results of Woodlawns operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements
beginning May 2, 2007. Woodlawn is a natural gas gathering and processing company which owns
integrated gathering and processing assets in East Texas. Woodlawns system consists of
approximately 160 miles of natural gas gathering pipe, approximately 40 miles of condensate
transport pipe and a 30 Mcf/day processing plant. Prism Gas acquired a nine-mile pipeline, from a
Woodlawn related party, that delivers residue gas from Woodlawn to the Texas Eastern Transmission
pipeline system.
The selling parties in this transaction were Lantern Resources, L.P., David P. Deison, and
Peak Gas Gathering L.P. The final purchase price, after final adjustments for working capital, was
$32,606 and was funded by borrowings under the Partnerships credit facility.
The purchase price of $32,606, including two-year non-competition agreements and other
intangibles reflected as other assets, was allocated as follows:

The identifiable intangible assets of $3,339 are subject to amortization over a
weighted-average useful life of approximately ten years. The intangible assets include
non-competition agreements of $40, customer contracts associated with the gathering and processing
assets of $3,002, and a transportation contract associated with the residue gas pipeline of $297.
In connection with the acquisition, the Partnership borrowed approximately $33,000 under its
revolving credit facility.

(4) Investment in Unconsolidated Partnerships and Joint Ventures
The Partnership, through its subsidiary Prism Gas, owns 50% of the ownership interests in
Waskom Gas Processing Company (Waskom), Matagorda Offshore Gathering System (Matagorda) and
Panther Interstate Pipeline Energy LLC (PIPE). Each of these interests is accounted for under the
equity method of accounting.
On June 30, 2006, the Partnership, through its Prism Gas subsidiary, acquired a 20% ownership
interest in a partnership for approximately $196, which owns the lease rights to the assets of the
Bosque County Pipeline (BCP). BCP is an approximate 67 mile pipeline located in the Barnett
Shale extension. The pipeline traverses four counties with the most concentrated drilling
occurring in Bosque County. BCP is operated by Panther Pipeline Ltd. who is the 42.5% interest owner. This interest is
accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
June 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
In accounting for the acquisition of the interests in Waskom, Matagorda and PIPE, the
carrying amount of these investments exceeded the underlying net assets by approximately $46,176.
The difference was attributable to property and equipment of $11,872 and equity method goodwill of
$34,304. The excess investment relating to property and equipment is being amortized over an
average life of 20 years, which approximates the useful life of the underlying assets. Such
amortization amounted to $149 and $297 for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 and
has been recorded as a reduction of equity in earnings of unconsolidated equity method investees.
The remaining unamortized excess investment relating to property and equipment was $10,982 and
$11,279 at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. The equity-method goodwill is not amortized in
accordance with SFAS 142; however, it is analyzed for impairment annually. No impairment was
recognized in the first six months of 2007 or the year ended December 31, 2006.
As a partner in Waskom, the Partnership receives distributions in kind of natural gas
liquids that are retained according to Waskoms contracts with certain producers. The natural gas
liquids are valued at prevailing market prices. In addition, cash distributions are received and
cash contributions are made to fund operating and capital requirements of Waskom.

(Unaudited)
(5) Commodity Cash Flow Hedges
The Partnership is exposed to market risks associated with commodity prices, counterparty
credit and interest rates. Historically, the Partnership has not engaged in commodity contract
trading or hedging activities. However, in connection with the acquisition of Prism Gas, the
Partnership has established a hedging policy and monitors and manages the commodity market risk associated with the commodity risk exposure of the Prism
Gas acquisition. In addition, the Partnership is focusing on utilizing counterparties for these
transactions whose financial condition is appropriate for the credit risk involved in each specific
transaction.
The Partnership uses derivatives to manage the risk of commodity price fluctuations.
Additionally, the Partnership manages interest rate exposure by targeting a ratio of fixed and
floating interest rates it deems prudent and using hedges to attain that ratio.
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS No. 133),
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, all derivatives and hedging
instruments are included on the balance sheet as an asset or a liability measured at fair value and
changes in fair value are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met. If a derivative qualifies for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value can be
offset against the change in the fair value of the hedged item through earnings or recognized in
other comprehensive income until such time as the hedged item is recognized in earnings. In early
2006, the Partnership adopted a hedging policy that allows it to use hedge accounting for financial
transactions that are designated as hedges.
Derivative instruments not designated as hedges are being marked to market with all market
value adjustments being recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30,
2007, the Partnership has designated a portion of its derivative instruments as qualifying cash
flow hedges. Fair value changes for these hedges have been recorded in other comprehensive income
as a component of equity. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, certain of the Partnerships
derivative instruments which were designated as hedges became ineffective due to fluctuations in
the basis difference between the hedged item and the hedging instrument. As a result, these hedges
are now marked to market through the statement of operations.
The components of gain/loss on derivatives qualifying for hedge accounting and those that
do not are included in the revenue of the hedged item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations

On all transactions where the Partnership is exposed to counterparty risk, the
Partnership analyzes the counterpartys financial condition prior to entering into an agreement, and has established a maximum credit limit threshold pursuant to its hedging
policy, and monitors the appropriateness of these limits on an ongoing basis. The Partnership has
incurred no losses associated with the counterparty non-performance on derivative contracts.
As a result of the Prism Gas acquisition, the Partnership is exposed to the impact of market
fluctuations in the prices of natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and condensate as a result
of gathering,

MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)
processing and sales activities. Prism Gas gathering and processing revenues are earned under
various contractual arrangements with gas producers. Gathering revenues are generated through a
combination of fixed-fee and index-related arrangements. Processing revenues are generated
primarily through contracts which provide for processing on percent-of-liquids (POL) and
percent-of-proceeds (POP) basis. Prism Gas has entered into hedging transactions through 2010 to
protect a portion of its commodity exposure from these contracts. These hedging arrangements are in
the form of swaps for crude oil, natural gas and ethane.
Based on estimated volumes, as of June 30, 2007, Prism Gas had hedged approximately 39%, 50%,
22% and 7% of its commodity risk by volume for 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The
Partnership anticipates entering into additional commodity derivatives on an ongoing basis to
manage its risks associated with these market fluctuations, and will consider using various
commodity derivatives, including forward contracts, swaps, collars, futures and options, although
there is no assurance that the Partnership will be able to do so or that the terms thereof will be
similar to the Partnerships existing hedging arrangements. In addition, the Partnership will
consider derivative arrangements that include the specific NGL products as well as natural gas and
crude oil.

The Partnerships principal customers with respect to Prism Gas natural gas gathering
and processing are large, natural gas marketing services, oil and gas producers and industrial
end-users. In addition, substantially all of the Partnerships natural gas and NGL sales are made
at market-based prices. The Partnerships standard gas and NGL sales contracts contain adequate
assurance provisions which allows for the suspension of deliveries, cancellation of agreements or
continuance of deliveries to the buyer unless the buyer provides security for payment in a form
satisfactory to the Partnership.
Impact of Cash Flow Hedges
Crude Oil
For the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, net gains and losses on swap hedge
contracts decreased crude revenue by $494 and $355, respectively. For the six month periods ending
June 30, 2007 and 2006 net gains and losses on swap hedge contracts decreased crude revenue by $351
and $555, respectively. As of June 30, 2007 an unrealized derivative fair value loss of $374,
related to cash flow hedges of crude oil price risk, was recorded in other comprehensive income
(loss). This fair value loss is expected to be reclassified into earnings in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
The actual reclassification to earnings will be based on mark-to-market prices at the contract
settlement date, along with the realization of the gain or loss on the related physical volume,
which amount is not reflected above.

(Unaudited)
Natural Gas
For the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, net gains and losses on swap hedge
contracts increased gas revenue by $130 and $110, respectively. For the six month periods ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, net losses and gains on swap hedge contracts decreased gas revenue by $243
and increased gas
revenue by $431, respectively. As of June 30, 2007, there is no unrealized derivative fair
value gain (loss) related to cash flow hedges of natural gas price risk recorded in other
comprehensive income (loss).
Natural Gas Liquids
For the three month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, net gains and losses on swap hedge
contracts decreased liquids revenue by $180 and $198, respectively. For the six month periods
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, net gains and losses on swap hedge contracts decreased liquids
revenue by $110 and $44, respectively. As of June 30, 2007 an unrealized derivative fair value
loss of $43, related to cash flow hedges of natural gas liquids price risk, was recorded in other
comprehensive income (loss). This fair value loss is expected to be reclassified into earnings in
2008. The actual reclassification to earnings will be based on mark-to-market prices at the
contract settlement date, along with the realization of the gain or loss on the related physical
volume, which amount is not reflected above.
(6) Interest Rate Cash Flow Hedge
In April 2006, the Partnership entered into a cash flow hedge agreement with a notional amount
of $75,000 to hedge its exposure to increases in the benchmark interest rate underlying its
variable rate term loan credit facility. This interest rate swap matures in November 2010. The
Partnership designated this swap agreement as a cash flow hedge. Under the swap agreement, the
Partnership pays a fixed rate of interest of 5.25% and receives a floating rate based on a
three-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate. Because this is designated as a cash flow hedge, the changes
in fair value, to the extent the swap is effective, are recognized in other comprehensive income
until the hedged interest costs are recognized in earnings. At the inception of the hedge, the
swap was identical to the hypothetical swap as of the trade date, and will continue to be identical
as long as the accrual periods and rate resetting dates for the debt and the swap remain equal.
This condition results in a 100% effective swap.
In December 2006, the Partnership entered into a cash flow hedge agreement with a
notional amount of $40,000 to hedge its exposure to increases in the benchmark interest rate
underlying its variable rate revolving credit facility. This interest rate swap matures in
December 2009. The Partnership designated this swap agreement as a cash flow hedge. Under the swap
agreement, the Partnership pays a fixed rate of interest of 4.82% and receives a floating rate
based on a three-month U.S. Dollar LIBOR rate. Because this is designated as a cash flow hedge,
the changes in fair value, to the extent the swap is effective, are recognized in other
comprehensive income until the hedged interest costs are recognized in earnings. At the inception
of the hedge, the swap was identical to the hypothetical swap as of the trade date, and will
continue to be identical as long as the accrual periods and rate resetting dates for the debt and
the swap remain equal. This condition results in a 100% effective swap.
In December 2006, the Partnership entered into an interest rate swap that swaps $30,000 of
floating rate to fixed rate. The fixed rate cost is 4.765% plus the Partnerships applicable LIBOR
borrowing spread. This interest rate swap matures in March 2010. The underlying debt related to
this swap was paid prior to December 31, 2006; therefore, hedge accounting was not utilized. The
swap has been recorded at fair value at June 30, 2007 with an offset to current operations.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the Partnership recognized decreases in
interest expense of $403 and $431, respectively, related to the difference between the fixed rate
and the floating rate of interest on the interest rate swap and net cash settlement of interest
rate hedges. The total fair value of the interest rate swap
agreements was recorded as an asset (liability) of
approximately $1,122 and $(83) at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively.

Interest rate fluctuates based on the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin set on the date of each
advance. The margin above LIBOR is set every three months. Indebtedness under the credit facility
bears interest at either LIBOR plus an applicable margin or the base prime rate plus an applicable
margin. The applicable margin for revolving loans that are LIBOR loans ranges from 1.50% to 3.00%
and the applicable margin for revolving loans that are base prime rate loans ranges from 0.50% to
2.00%. The applicable margin for term loans that are LIBOR loans ranges from 2.00% to 3.00% and
the applicable margin for term loans that are base |

prime rate loans ranges from 1.00% to 2.00%.
The applicable margin for existing borrowings is 2.00%. Effective July 1, 2007, the applicable
margin for existing borrowings remains 2.00%. As a result of our leverage ratio test, effective
October 1, 2007, the applicable margin for existing borrowing will decrease to 1.75%. We incur a
commitment fee on the unused portions of the credit facility.
**Effective December 13, 2006, the Partnership entered into a cash flow hedge that swaps $40,000 of
floating rate to fixed rate. The fixed rate cost is 4.82% plus the Partnerships applicable LIBOR
borrowing spread. The cash flow hedge matures in December, 2009.
***The $130,000 term loan has $105,000 hedged. Effective April 13, 2006, the Partnership entered
into a cash flow hedge that swaps $75,000 of floating rate to fixed rate. The fixed rate cost is
5.25% plus the Partnerships applicable LIBOR borrowing spread. The cash flow hedge matures in
November, 2010. Effective March 28, 2007, the Partnership entered into an additional interest rate
swap that swaps $30,000 of floating rate to fixed rate. The fixed rate cost is 4.765% plus the
Partnerships applicable LIBOR borrowing spread. This cash flow hedge matures in March, 2010.
On August 18, 2006, the Partnership purchased certain terminalling assets and assumed
associated long term debt of $113 with a fixed rate cost of 7.25%.
On November 10, 2005, the Partnership entered into a new $225,000 multi-bank credit facility
comprised of a $130,000 term loan facility and a $95,000 revolving credit facility, which includes
a $20,000 letter of credit sub-limit. This credit facility also includes procedures for additional
financial institutions to become revolving lenders, or for any existing revolving lender to
increase its revolving commitment, subject to a maximum of $100,000 for all such increases in
revolving commitments of new or existing revolving lenders. Effective June 30, 2006, we increased
our revolving credit facility $25,000 resulting in a committed $120,000 revolving credit facility.
The revolving credit facility is used for ongoing working capital needs and general partnership
purposes, and to finance permitted investments, acquisitions and capital expenditures. Under the
amended and restated credit facility, as of June 30, 2007, we had $50,000 outstanding under the
revolving credit facility and $130,000 outstanding under the term loan facility. As of June 30,
2007, we had $69,880 available under our revolving credit facility.
On July 14, 2005, the Partnership issued a $120 irrevocable letter of credit to the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality to provide financial assurance for its used oil handling
program.
The Partnerships obligations under the credit facility are secured by substantially all of
the Partnerships assets, including, without limitation, inventory, accounts receivable, vessels,
equipment, fixed assets and the interests in its operating subsidiaries. The Partnership may prepay
all amounts outstanding under this facility at any time without penalty.
In addition, the credit facility contains various covenants, which, among other things, limit
the Partnerships ability to: (i) incur indebtedness; (ii) grant certain liens; (iii) merge or
consolidate unless it is the survivor; (iv) sell all or substantially all of its assets; (v) make
certain acquisitions; (vi) make certain investments; (vii) make certain capital expenditures;
(viii) make distributions other than from available cash; (ix) create obligations for some lease
payments; (x) engage in transactions with affiliates; (xi) engage in other types of business; and
(xii) its joint ventures to incur indebtedness or grant certain liens.
The credit facility also contains covenants, which, among other things, require the
Partnership to maintain specified ratios of: (i) minimum net worth (as defined in the credit
facility) of $75,000 plus 50% of net proceeds from equity issuances after November 10, 2005; (ii)
EBITDA (as defined in the credit facility) to interest expense of not less than 3.0 to 1.0 at the
end of each fiscal quarter; (iii) total funded debt to EBITDA of not more than (x) 5.5 to 1.0 for
the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, (y) 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending
December 31, 2005 through September 30, 2006, and (z) 4.75 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter
thereafter; and (iv) total secured funded debt to EBITDA of not more than (x) 5.50 to 1.00 for the
fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2005, (y) 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending December
31, 2005 through September 20, 2006, and (z) 4.00 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter. The
Partnership was in compliance

(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
June 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
with the debt covenants contained in credit facility for the year
ended December 31, 2006 and as of June 30, 2007.
On November 10 of each year, commencing with November 10, 2006, the Partnership must prepay
the term loans under the credit facility with 75% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the credit
facility), unless its ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA is less than 3.00 to 1.00. There were
no prepayments made under the term loan through June 30, 2007. If the Partnership receives greater
than $15,000 from the incurrence of indebtedness other than under the credit facility, it must
prepay indebtedness under the credit facility with all such proceeds in excess of $15,000. Any such
prepayments are first applied to the term loans under the credit
facility. The Partnership must prepay revolving loans under the credit facility with the net
cash proceeds from any issuance of its equity. The Partnership must also prepay indebtedness under
the credit facility with the proceeds of certain asset dispositions. Other than these mandatory
prepayments, the credit facility requires interest only payments on a quarterly basis until
maturity. All outstanding principal and unpaid interest must be paid by November 10, 2010. The
credit facility contains customary events of default, including, without limitation, payment
defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy-related defaults, change of
control defaults and litigation-related defaults.
Draws made under the Partnerships credit facility are normally made to fund acquisitions and
for working capital requirements. During the current fiscal year, draws on the Partnerships credit
facility have ranged from a low of $170,600 to a high of $226,850. As of June 30, 2007, the
Partnership had $69,880 available for working capital, internal expansion and acquisition
activities under the Partnerships credit facility.
On July 15, 2005, the Partnership assumed $9,400 of U.S. Government Guaranteed Ship Financing
Bonds, maturing in 2021, relating to the acquisition of CF Martin Sulphur. The outstanding balance
as of December 31, 2005 was $9,104. These bonds were payable in equal semi-annual installments of
$291, and were secured by certain marine vessels owned by CF Martin Sulphur. Pursuant to the terms
of an amendment to the Partnerships credit facility that it entered into in connection with the
acquisition of CF Martin Sulphur, the Partnership was obligated to repay these bonds by March 31,
2006. The Partnership redeemed these bonds on March 6, 2006 with available cash and borrowings from
its credit facility. Also, at redemption, a pre-payment premium was paid in the amount of $1,160.
The Partnership paid cash interest in the amount of $2,342 and $2,484 for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $5,945 and $6,261 for the six months ended June 30,
2007 and 2006, respectively. Capitalized interest was $806 and $398 for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $1,345 and $670 for the six months ended June 30, 2007
and 2006, respectively.
In connection with the Partnerships Mega Lubricants acquisition on June 13, 2007, the
Partnership borrowed approximately $4,600 under its revolving credit facility.
In connection with the Partnerships Woodlawn acquisition on May 2, 2007, the Partnership
borrowed approximately $33,000 under its revolving credit facility.

taxes related to the operations of this subsidiary since acquisition total $14. In connection with
the Woodlawn acquisition, the Partnership also established deferred taxes associated with book and
tax basis differences of the acquired assets and liabilities. The basis differences are primarily
related to property, plant and equipment. A deferred tax benefit related to these basis
differences of $68 was recorded for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007.
As a result of its acquisition of Prism Gas, the Partnership assumed a current tax liability
of $6.3 million as a result of a tax event triggered by the transfer of the ownership of the assets
of Prism Gas in 2005

MARTIN MIDSTREAM PARTNERS L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED AND CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except where otherwise indicated)
June 30, 2007
(Unaudited)
from a corporate to a partnership structure through the partial liquidation of
the corporation. This liability was paid in 2006. The final liquidation of this corporate entity
was completed on November 15, 2006. Additional federal and state income taxes of $173 resulting
from the liquidation were recorded in current year income tax expense for the six months ending
June 30, 2007.
On May 18, 2006, the Texas Governor signed into law a Texas margin tax (H.B. No. 3) which
restructures the state business tax by replacing the taxable capital and earned surplus components
of the current franchise tax with a new taxable margin component. Since the tax base on the Texas
margin tax is derived from an income-based measure, the margin tax is construed as an income tax
and, therefore, the provisions of SFAS 109 regarding the recognition of deferred taxes apply to the
new margin tax. In accordance with SFAS 109, the effect on deferred tax assets of a change in tax
law should be included in tax expense attributable to continuing operations in the period that
includes the enactment date. Therefore, the Partnership has calculated its deferred tax assets and
liabilities for Texas based on the new margin tax. The cumulative effect of the
change was immaterial. The impact of the change in deferred tax assets does not have a
material impact on tax expense. State income taxes attributable to the Texas margin tax of $135
and $269 were recorded in current year income tax expense for the three and six months ending June
30, 2007.
The components of income tax expense (benefit) from operations recorded for the three and six
months ended June 30, 2007 are as follows:

(12) Gain on Involuntary Conversion of Assets
During the third quarter of 2005, the Partnership experienced a casualty loss caused by two
major storms, Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita. Physical damage to the Partnerships assets
caused by the hurricanes, as well as the related removal and recovery costs, were covered by
insurance subject to a deductible. The Partnership recorded an additional insurance receivable
during the first quarter of 2006, which resulted in a gain of $853 for this involuntary conversion
of assets reported in other operating income. The total insurance receivable at March 31, 2006
relating to these damages of $2,541 was subsequently collected.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
References in this quarterly report to Martin Resource Management refers to Martin Resource
Management Corporation and its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires. You should
read the following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations in conjunction
with the consolidated and condensed financial statements and the notes thereto included elsewhere
in this quarterly report.
Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report on Form 10-Q includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended. Statements included in this quarterly report that are not historical
facts (including any statements concerning plans and objectives of management for future operations
or economic performance, or assumptions or forecasts related thereto), including, without
limitation, the information set forth in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology including forecast, may, believe,
will, expect, anticipate, estimate, continue or other similar words. These statements
discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of financial condition
or state other forward-looking information. We and our representatives may from time to time
make other oral or written statements that are also forward-looking statements.
These forward-looking statements are made based upon managements current plans, expectations,
estimates, assumptions and beliefs concerning future events impacting us and therefore involve a
number of risks and uncertainties. We caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees
and that actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in the
forward-looking statements.
Because these forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, actual results could
differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements for a number
of important reasons, including those discussed under Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on
March 5, 2007.
Overview
We are a publicly traded limited partnership with a diverse set of operations focused
primarily in the United States Gulf Coast region. Our five primary business lines include:
|
|
|
Terminalling and storage services for petroleum and by-products; |
|
|
|
|
Natural gas services; |
|
|
|
|
Marine transportation services for petroleum products and by-products; |
|
|
|
|
Sulfur gathering, processing and distribution; and |
|
|
|
|
Fertilizer manufacturing and distribution. |
The petroleum products and by-products we collect, transport, store and market are produced
primarily by major and independent oil and gas companies who often turn to third parties, such as
us, for the transportation and disposition of these products. In addition to these major and
independent oil and gas companies, our primary customers include independent refiners, large
chemical companies, fertilizer manufacturers and other wholesale purchasers of these products. We
operate primarily in the Gulf Coast region of the United States. This region is a major hub for
petroleum refining, natural gas gathering and processing and support services for the exploration
and production industry.
We were formed in 2002 by Martin Resource Management, a privately-held company whose initial
predecessor was incorporated in 1951 as a supplier of products and services to drilling rig
contractors. Since then, Martin Resource Management has expanded its operations through
acquisitions and internal expansion initiatives as its management identified and capitalized on the
needs of producers and purchasers of hydrocarbon products and by-products and other bulk liquids.
Martin Resource Management owns approximately 35.7% of our limited partnership units. Furthermore,
it owns and controls our general partner, which owns a 2.0% general partner interest and incentive
distribution rights in us.
Martin Resource Management has operated our business for several years. Martin Resource
Management began operating our natural gas services business in the 1950s and our sulfur business
in the 1960s. It began our marine transportation business in the late 1980s. It entered into our
fertilizer and
22
terminalling and storage businesses in the early 1990s. In recent years, Martin
Resource Management has increased the size of our asset base through expansions and strategic
acquisitions.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on
the historical consolidated and condensed financial statements included elsewhere herein. We
prepared these financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
The preparation of these financial statements required us to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We based our estimates
on historical experience and on various other assumptions we believe to be reasonable under the
circumstances. Our results may differ from these estimates. Currently, we believe that our
accounting policies do not require us to make estimates using assumptions about matters that are
highly uncertain. However, we have described below the critical accounting policies that we
believe could impact our consolidated and condensed financial statements most significantly.
You should also read Note 1, General in Notes to Consolidated and Condensed Financial
Statements contained in this quarterly report and the Significant Accounting Policies note in the
consolidated financial statements included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2006 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2007 in conjunction with this Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Some of the more
significant estimates in these financial statements include the amount of the allowance for
doubtful accounts receivable and the determination of the fair value of our reporting units under
SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (SFAS 142).
Derivatives
In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS No. 133),
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, all derivatives and hedging
instruments are included on the balance sheet as an asset or liability measured at fair value and
changes in fair value are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting
criteria are met. If a derivative qualifies for hedge accounting, changes in the fair value can be
offset against the change in the fair value of the hedged item through earnings or recognized in
other comprehensive income until such time as the hedged item is recognized in earnings. In early
2006, we adopted a hedging policy that allows us to use hedge accounting for financial transactions
that are designated as hedges. Derivative instruments not designated as hedges or hedges that
become ineffective are being marked to market with all market value adjustments being recorded in
the consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2007, we have designated a portion of
our derivative instruments as qualifying cash flow hedges. Fair value changes for these hedges
have been recorded in other comprehensive income as a component of equity.
Product Exchanges
We enter into product exchange agreements with third parties whereby we agree to exchange NGLs
with third parties. We record the balance of NGLs due to other companies under these agreements at
quoted market product prices and the balance of NGLs and sulfur due from other companies at the
lower of cost or market. Cost is determined using the first-in, first-out method.
In September 2005, the FASBs Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) issued EITF No. 04-13,
Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty. This pronouncement
provides additional accounting guidance for situations involving inventory exchanges between
parties to that contained in APB Opinion No. 29, Accounting for Nonmonetary Transactions and SFAS
153, Exchanges of
Nonmonetary Assets. The standard is effective for new arrangements entered into in reporting
periods beginning after March 15, 2006. The adoption did not have a material impact on our
financial statements.
Revenue Recognition
Revenue for our five operating segments is recognized as follows:
Terminalling and storage Revenue is recognized for storage contracts based on the contracted
monthly tank fixed fee. For throughput contracts, revenue is recognized based on the volume moved
through our terminals at the contracted rate. Revenue for lubricants and drilling fluids products
is recognized upon
23
delivering product to the customers as title to the product transfers when the
customer physically receives the product.
Natural gas services Natural gas gathering and processing revenues are recognized when title
passes or service is performed. NGL distribution revenue is recognized when product is delivered
by truck to our NGL customers, which occurs when the customer physically receives the product. When
product is sold in storage, or by pipeline, we recognize NGL distribution revenue when the customer
receives the product from either the storage facility or pipeline.
Marine transportation Revenue is recognized for contracted trips upon completion of the
particular trip. For time charters, revenue is recognized based on a per day rate.
Sulfur and Fertilizer Revenues are recognized when the products are delivered, which occurs
when the customer has taken title and has assumed the risks and rewards of ownership based on
specific contract terms at either the shipping or delivery point.
Equity Method Investments
We use the equity method of accounting for investments in unconsolidated entities where the
ability to exercise significant influence over such entities exists. Investments in unconsolidated
entities consist of capital contributions and advances plus our share of accumulated earnings as of
the entities latest fiscal year-ends, less capital withdrawals and distributions. Investments in
excess of the underlying net assets of equity method investees, specifically identifiable to
property, plant and equipment, are amortized over the useful life of the related assets. Excess
investment representing equity method goodwill is not amortized but is evaluated for impairment,
annually. Under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 142,
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, this goodwill is not subject to amortization and is accounted
for as a component of the investment. Equity method investments are subject to impairment under
the provisions of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of
Accounting for Investments in Common Stock. No portion of the net income from these entities is
included in our operating income.
We own an unconsolidated 50% interest in Waskom Gas Processing Company (Waskom), the
Matagorda Offshore Gathering System (Matagorda), and Panther Interstate Pipeline Energy LLC
(PIPE). These interests are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
On June 30, 2006, we, through our subsidiary Prism Gas Systems I, L.P. (Prism Gas), acquired
a 20% ownership interest in a partnership which owns the lease rights to the assets of the Bosque
County Pipeline (BCP). This interest is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.
Goodwill
Goodwill is subject to a fair-value based impairment test on an annual basis. We are required
to identify our reporting units and determine the carrying value of each reporting unit by
assigning the assets and liabilities, including the existing goodwill and intangible assets. We
are required to determine the fair value of each reporting unit and compare it to the carrying
amount of the reporting unit. To the extent the carrying
amount of a reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, we would be required
to perform the second step of the impairment test, as this is an indication that the reporting unit
goodwill may be impaired.
All five of our reporting units terminalling, marine transportation, natural gas services,
sulfur and fertilizer, contain goodwill.
We determined fair value in each reporting unit based on a multiple of current annual cash
flows. This multiple was derived from our experience with actual acquisitions and dispositions and
our valuation of recent potential acquisitions and dispositions.
Environmental Liabilities
We have historically not experienced circumstances requiring us to account for environmental
remediation obligations. If such circumstances arise, we would estimate remediation obligations
utilizing a remediation feasibility study and any other related environmental studies that we may
elect to perform. We
24
would record changes to our estimated environmental liability as circumstances
change or events occur, such as the issuance of revised orders by governmental bodies or court or
other judicial orders and our evaluation of the likelihood and amount of the related eventual
liability.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
In evaluating the collectibility of our accounts receivable, we assess a number of factors,
including a specific customers ability to meet its financial obligations to us, the length of time
the receivable has been past due and historical collection experience. Based on these assessments,
we record specific reserves for bad debts to reduce the related receivable to the amount we
ultimately expect to collect from customers.
Asset Retirement Obligation
We recognize and measure our asset and conditional asset retirement obligations and the
associated asset retirement cost upon acquisition of the related asset and based upon the estimate
of the cost to settle the obligation at its anticipated future date. The obligation is accreted to
its estimated future value and the asset retirement cost is depreciated over the estimated life of
the asset.

general partnership interest in us and all of our incentive distribution rights.
Management
Martin Resource Management directs our business operations through its ownership and control
of our general partner. We benefit from our relationship with Martin Resource Management through
access to a significant pool of management expertise and established relationships throughout the
energy industry. We do
25
not have employees. Martin Resource Management employees are responsible
for conducting our business and operating our assets on our behalf.
Related Party Agreements
We are a party to an omnibus agreement with Martin Resource Management. The omnibus agreement
requires us to reimburse Martin Resource Management for all direct and indirect expenses it incurs
or payments it makes on our behalf or in connection with the operation of our business. We
reimbursed Martin Resource Management for $12.4 million of direct costs and expenses for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $12.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006. We
reimbursed Martin Resource Management for $25.2 million of direct costs and expenses for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $24.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006.
There is no monetary limitation on the amount we are required to reimburse Martin Resource
Management for direct expenses. Under the omnibus agreement, the reimbursement amount with respect
to indirect general and administrative and corporate overhead expenses was capped at $2.0 million
for the twelve month period ending October 31, 2006. For each of the subsequent three years, this
amount may be increased by no more than the percentage increase in the consumer price index and is
also subject to adjustment for expansions of our operations. As of August 7, 2007, we have not
increased this cap. We reimbursed Martin Resource Management for $0.4 million of indirect
expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. We reimbursed Martin Resource
Management for $0.7 million of indirect expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
These indirect expenses cover all of the centralized corporate functions Martin Resource Management
provides for us, such as accounting, treasury, clerical billing, information technology,
administration of insurance, general office expenses and employee benefit plans and other general
corporate overhead functions we share with Martin Resource Management retained businesses. The
omnibus agreement also contains significant non-compete provisions and indemnity obligations.
In addition to the omnibus agreement, we and Martin Resource Management have entered into
various other agreements that are not the result of arms-length negotiations and consequently may
not be as favorable to us as they might have been if we had negotiated them with unaffiliated third
parties. The agreements include, but are not limited to, a motor carrier agreement, a terminal
services agreement, a marine transportation agreement, a product storage agreement, a product
supply agreement, a throughput agreement, and a Purchaser Use Easement, Ingress-Egress Easement and
Utility Facilities Easement. Pursuant to the terms of the omnibus agreement, we are prohibited
from entering into certain material agreements with Martin Resource Management without the approval
of the conflicts committee of our general partners board of directors.
For a more comprehensive discussion concerning the omnibus agreement and the other agreements
that we have entered into with Martin Resource Management, please refer to Item 13. Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions Agreements. set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2007.
Commercial
We have been and anticipate that we will continue to be both a significant customer and
supplier of products and services offered by Martin Resource Management. Our motor carrier
agreement with Martin Resource Management provides us with access to Martin Resource Managements
fleet of road vehicles and road trailers to provide land transportation in the areas served by
Martin Resource Management. Our ability to utilize Martin Resource Managements land transportation
operations is currently a key component of our integrated distribution network.
We also use the underground storage facilities owned by Martin Resource Management in our
natural gas services operations. We lease an underground storage facility from Martin Resource
Management in Arcadia, Louisiana with a storage capacity of 65 million gallons. Our use of this
storage facility gives us greater flexibility in our operations by allowing us to store a
sufficient supply of product during times of decreased demand for use when demand increases.
In the aggregate, our purchases of land transportation services, NGL storage services,
sulfuric acid and lube oil product purchases and sulfur and fertilizer payroll reimbursements from
Martin Resource Management accounted for approximately 13% and 17% of our total cost of products
sold
26
during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively; and approximately 13% and
15% of our total cost of products sold during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. We also purchase marine fuel from Martin Resource Management, which we account for
as an operating expense.
Correspondingly, Martin Resource Management is one of our significant customers. It primarily
uses our terminalling, marine transportation and NGL distribution services for its operations. We
provide terminalling and storage services under a terminal services agreement. We provide marine
transportation services to Martin Resource Management under a charter agreement on a spot-contract
basis at applicable market rates. Our sales to Martin Resource Management accounted for
approximately 6% and 4% of our total revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
respectively. Our sales to Martin Resource Management accounted for approximately 6% and 4% of our
total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. In connection with
the closing of the Tesoro Marine asset acquisition, we entered into certain agreements with Martin
Resource Management pursuant to which we provide terminalling and storage and marine transportation
services to Midstream Fuel and Midstream Fuel provides terminal services to us to handle
lubricants, greases and drilling fluids.
For a more comprehensive discussion concerning the omnibus agreement and the other agreements
that we have entered into with Martin Resource Management, please refer to Item 13. Certain
Relationships and Related Transactions Agreements set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 2006 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2007.
Approval and Review of Related Party Transactions
If we contemplate entering into a transaction, other than a routine or in the ordinary course
of business transaction, in which a related person will have a direct or indirect material
interest, the proposed transaction is submitted for consideration to the board of directors of our
general partner or to our management, as appropriate. If the board of directors is involved in the
approval process, it determines whether to refer the matter to the Conflicts Committee of
our general partners board of directors, as constituted under our limited partnership agreement.
If a matter is referred to the Conflicts Committee, it obtains information regarding the proposed
transaction from management and determines whether to engage independent legal counsel or an
independent financial advisor to advise the members of the committee regarding the transaction. If
the Conflicts Committee retains such counsel or financial advisor, it considers such advice and, in
the case of a
financial advisor, such advisors opinion as to whether the transaction is fair and reasonable to
us and to our unitholders.
Results of Operations
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 have been
derived from the consolidated and condensed financial statements of the Partnership.
We evaluate segment performance on the basis of operating income, which is derived by
subtracting cost of products sold, operating expenses, selling, general and administrative
expenses, and depreciation and amortization expense from revenues. The following table sets forth
our operating revenues and operating income by segment for the three months and six months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006. The results of operations for the first six months of the year are not
necessarily indicative of the results of operations which might be expected for the entire year.

Revenues. Our terminalling and storage revenues increased $3.1 million, or 37%, for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. Service revenue
accounted for $1.4 million of this increase. The service revenue increase was primarily a result
of acquisitions of the Corpus Christi terminal, our two asphalt terminals and increased business
activity at our shore based terminals. Product revenue increased $1.7 million primarily due to
$0.8 million from the assets of Mega Lubricants Inc. (Mega Lube) and an additional 7% increase in
historical sales volumes and a 19% increase in product cost that was able to be passed along to our
customers.
Cost of products sold. Our cost of products sold increased $1.5 million, or 65%, for the
three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. This was
primarily a result of $0.7 million from the Mega Lube acquisition and an additional 7% increase in
historical sales volumes and a 19% increase in product cost that was able to be passed along to our
customers.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased $0.7 million, or 26%, for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was due
primarily to $0.4 million of additional operating expenses from the acquisition of the Corpus
Christi terminal and increased salaries, property and liability premiums and product handling
costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general & administrative expenses were
approximately the same for both three month periods.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $0.4 million,
or 34%, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006.
This increase was primarily a result of our recent acquisitions and capital expenditures.
In summary, our terminalling operating income increased $0.5 million, or 22%, for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Revenues. Our natural gas services revenues increased $21.3 million, or 25%, for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. Our historical NGL
distribution segment increased $14.5 million, or 23%. The increase in revenues is primarily due to
an increase in sales volumes, resulting from increased demand from our industrial customers. In
addition to increased sales volumes, our average sales price per gallon increased 8%, due to a
general increase in the prices of NGLs.
In addition to the increased activity in our historical NGL distribution segment, Prism Gas
experienced a $6.8 million, or 33% increase in revenues. The increase in revenue was comprised of a
$7.1 million increase in natural gas sales, a $0.4 million increase in gathering and processing
fees, offset by a $0.1 million loss on derivative contracts and a $0.6 million decline in NGL
sales. The increase in both natural gas sales and processing fees is primarily attributable to the
acquisition of Woodlawn Pipeline Company Inc. (Woodlawn).
Costs of product sold. Our cost of products increased $19.4 million, or 24%, for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was
primarily related to our historical NGL distribution segment, as we experienced a $13.9 million
increase in cost of products sold. Our per gallon margin increased by 21% as we were able to
increase our per gallon margin with our industrial customers. The balance of the increase of $5.5
million relates primarily to the Woodlawn acquisition.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased $0.6 million, or 44%, for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily
related to the Woodlawn acquisition.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased $0.3 million, or 35%, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three
months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily related to the Woodlawn acquisition along
with an increase in other administrative expenses.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.5 million, or 113%
for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. This
increase is primarily related to the Woodlawn acquisition.
In summary, our natural gas services operating income increased $0.5 million for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities
was $2.4 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
This reflects the results of our unconsolidated equity method investees since we acquired Prism Gas
on November 10, 2005. In connection with this acquisition, we acquired an unconsolidated 50%
interest in each of Waskom, Matagorda and PIPE. As a result, these interests are accounted for
using the equity method of accounting and we do not include any portion of their net income in our
operating income. On June 30, 2006, the Partnership, through its subsidiary Prism Gas, acquired a
20% ownership interest in the partnership which owns the lease rights to the Bosque County Pipeline
(BCP). This interest is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Revenues. Our marine transportation revenues increased $4.6 million, or 41%, for the three
months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. Our inland marine
operations generated an additional $4.1 million in revenue from increased utilization of our fleet
as a result of a geographical redistribution of our assets on the gulf coast. We also had
increased contract rates, and operated an additional number of leased vessels. Our offshore
revenues increased $0.3 million.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased $4.4 million, or 59%, for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. We experienced increases in
operating costs from outside towing expenses for leased vessels, repairs and maintenance, injury
claims, and crew wages.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased $0.1 million, or 89%, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three
months ended June 30, 2006.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.3 million, or 21%,
for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. This
increase was primarily a result of capital expenditures made in the last twelve months.
In summary, our marine transportation operating income remained consistent for both three
month periods..

Revenues. Our sulfur revenues decreased $0.7 million, or 4%, for the three months ended June
30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease resulted from a 28%
increase in sales
volume offset by a 27% decrease in sales price. The sales volume increase was due to a new
sales contract with an individual customer negotiated in 2007. The sales price decrease was a
result of a change in the mix of sales in the respective geographic locations in which we sell and
a decrease in both world and domestic market prices.
Cost of products sold. Our cost of products sold decreased $0.1 million, or 1%, for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease was
less than our sales revenue decline as our margin per ton fell due to competitive pressure.
Operating expenses. Our operating expenses increased $0.7 million, or 23%, for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was a
result of increased marine transportation expenses. These marine transportation cost increases
related to payroll and repairs and maintenance.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Our selling, general, and administrative
expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 24%, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the
three months ended June 30, 2006.
31
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was approximately the
same for both three month periods.
In summary, our sulfur operating income decreased $1.3 million, or 75%, for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006.

Revenues. Our fertilizer revenues increased $1.5 million, or 12%, for the three months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. Our sales volume increased 5% due
to increased demand from our customers. This increased demand was driven by higher commodity
prices in the agricultural markets we serve.
Cost of products sold. Our cost of products sold increased $0.8 million, or 8%, for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006. This percentage
increase was less than our percentage increase in sales, resulting in an increased gross margin per
ton.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses
remained consistent for both three month periods.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization remained consistent for both
three month periods.
In summary, our fertilizer operating income increased $0.6 million, or 77%, for the three
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2006.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2006
Our total revenues before eliminations were $321.2 million for the six months ended June 30,
2007 compared to $281.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $39.5
million, or 14%. Our operating income before eliminations was $13.8 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase
of $2.0 million, or 17%.

Revenues. Our terminalling and storage revenues increased $5.7 million, or 34%, for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. Service revenue
accounted for $2.6 million of this increase. The service revenue increase was primarily a result
of acquisitions of the Corpus Christi terminal, our two asphalt terminals and increased business
activity at our shore based terminals. Product revenue increased $3.1 million primarily due to
$0.8 million from the Mega Lube acquisition and an additional 23% increase in historical sales
volumes and an 18% increase in product cost that was able to be passed along to our customers.
Cost of products sold. Our cost of products increased $2.7 million, or 60%, for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This was primarily a
result of $0.7 million from the Mega Lube acquisition and an additional 23% increase in historical
sales volumes and an 18% increase in product cost that was able to be passed along to our
customers.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased $1.2 million, or 21%, for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is due primarily
to $0.6 million of additional operating expenses from the acquisition of the Corpus Christi
terminal and increased salaries, property and liability premiums and product handling costs.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses
were approximately the same for both six month periods.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.6 million, or 29%
for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This
increase was primarily a result of our recent acquisition and capital expenditures.
Other operating income. Other operating income decreased $0.9 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease consisted solely
of a gain of $0.9 million related to an involuntary conversion of assets in 2006.
In summary, terminalling and storage operating income increased $0.4 million, or 7%, for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Revenues. Our natural gas services revenues increased $21.1 million, or 11%, for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. Our historical NGL
distribution segment revenues increased $15.9 million, or 11%. This increase in revenues is
primarily due to an increase in sales volumes, resulting from increased demand from our retail
propane and industrial customers. In addition to increased sales volumes, our average sales price
per gallon increased 2%, due to a general increase in the prices of NGLs.
In addition to the increased activity in our historical NGL distribution segment, Prism Gas
experienced a $5.2 million, or 13% increase in revenues. The increase in revenue was comprised of
a $6.3 million increase in natural gas sales and a $0.5 million increase in gathering and
processing fees, offset by a $1.1 million decrease in NGL sales and a $0.5 million loss on
derivative contracts. The increase in both natural gas sales and gathering and processing fees is
primarily attributable to the Woodlawn acquisition.
Costs of product sold. Our cost of products increased $18.1 million, or 10%, for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was
primarily related to our historical NGL distribution segment, as we experienced a $13.7 million
increase in cost of products sold. As the result of colder weather experienced earlier in the
year, our per gallon margin increased by 44% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to
the same period last year. The balance of the increase of $4.4 million relates to the Woodlawn
acquisition.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased $0.6 million, or 22%, for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase is primarily
related to the Woodlawn acquisition as well as additional operating pipeline lease expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses
increased $0.7 million, or 41%, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2006. Of the increase, $0.5 million relates to increased payroll costs and other
professional fees.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.5 million, or 62%,
for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This
increase was primarily a result of the Woodlawn acquisition.
In summary, our natural gas services operating income increased $1.2 million, or 100%, for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities
was $4.5 and $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. This
reflects the results of our unconsolidated equity method investees since we acquired Prism Gas on
November 10, 2005. In connection with this acquisition, we acquired an unconsolidated 50% interest
in each of Waskom, Matagorda and PIPE. As a result, these interests are accounted for using the
equity method of accounting and we do not include any portion of their net income in our operating
income. On June 30, 2006, the Partnership, through its subsidiary Prism Gas, acquired a 20%
ownership interest in a partnership that owns the lease rights to the Bosque County Pipeline
(BCP). This interest is accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

Revenues. Our marine transportation revenues increased $9.8 million, or 47%, for the six
months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. Our inland marine
operations generated an additional $7.9 million in revenue from increased utilization of our fleet
as a result of a geographical redistribution of our assets on the gulf coast. We also had
increased contract rates, and operated additional numbers of leased vessels. Our offshore revenues
increased $1.6 million primarily from the acquisition of two integrated tug barge units.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased $8.2 million, or 56%, for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. We experienced increases in
operating costs from outside towing expenses for leased vessels, repairs and maintenance, injury
and property damage claims, and crew wages.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses
decreased $0.2 million, or 70%, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months
ended June 30, 2006.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.9 million, or 28%,
for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This
increase was primarily a result of capital expenditures made in the last twelve months.
In summary, our marine transportation operating income increased $1.0 million, or 32%, for the
six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Revenues. Our sulfur revenues decreased $1.1 million, or 3%, for the six months ended June
30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease resulted from a 38%
increase in sales volume offset by a 28% decrease in sales price. The sales volume increase was
due to a new sales contract negotiated with an individual customer in 2007. The sales price
decrease was a result of a change in the mix of sales in the respective geographic locations in
which we sell and a decrease in both world and domestic market prices.
35
Cost of products sold. Our cost of products sold decreased $0.5 million, or 2%, for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This decrease was less
than our sales revenue decline as our margin per ton fell due to competitive pressure.
Operating expenses. Our operating expenses increased $2.1 million, or 35%, for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase was a result
of increased marine transportation expenses. These marine transportation cost increases related to
payroll, outside towing, and repairs and maintenance.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Our selling, general, and administrative
expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 29%, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the
six months ended June 30, 2006.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased $0.1 million, or 10%,
for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. This is
attributable to the Neches priller conveyor system which was completed in August 2006.
In summary, our sulfur operating income decreased $2.7 million, or 94%, for the six months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Revenues. Our fertilizer revenues increased $3.9 million, or 16%, for the six months ended
June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. Our sales volume increased 14% due
to increased demand from our customers. This increased demand was driven by higher commodity
prices in the agricultural markets we serve.
Cost of products sold. Our cost of products sold increased $1.7 million, or 8%, for the six
months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006. As our demand
increased, we were able to spread our margins resulting in an increased gross margin per ton.
Selling, general, and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses
remained consistent for both six month periods.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization remained consistent for both six
month periods.
In summary, our fertilizer operating income increased $2.2 million, or 226%, for the six

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Entities
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 equity in earnings of unconsolidated
entities relates to our unconsolidated interests in Waskom, Matagorda and PIPE. Also, included are
equity in earnings of our unconsolidated interest in BCP for the three and six months ended June
30, 2007.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities was $2.4 million for the three months ended June
30, 2007 compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $0.1
million. This increase is related to earnings received from Waskom, Matagorda, PIPE and BCP.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities was $4.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 2007 compared to $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $0.2
million. This decrease is related to earnings received from Waskom, Matagorda, PIPE and BCP.
Interest Expense
Our interest expense for all operations was $2.7 million for the three months ended June 30,
2007, compared to the $3.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, a decrease of $0.3
million, or 10%. This decrease was primarily due to recognized decreases in interest expense of
$0.4 million, related to the difference between the fixed rate and the floating rate of interest on
the mark-to-market interest rate swap and net cash settlement of all interest rate swaps.
Our interest expense for all operations was $6.3 million for the six months ended June 30,
2007, compared to the $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, an increase of $0.3
million, or 5%. This increase was primarily due to an increase in average debt outstanding and an
increase in interest rates in the first six months of 2007 compared to the same period in 2006.
This decrease was primarily due to recognized decreases in interest expense of $0.4 million,
related to the difference between the fixed rate and the floating rate of interest on the interest
rate swap and net cash settlement of interest rate hedges.
Indirect Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Indirect selling, general and administrative expenses were $0.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2007 compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, an increase
of $0.1 million, or 13%.
Indirect selling, general and administrative expenses were $1.6 million for both six months
ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
Martin Resource Management allocated to us a portion of its indirect selling, general and
administrative expenses for services such as accounting, treasury, clerical billing, information
technology, administration of insurance, engineering, general office expense and employee benefit
plans and other general corporate overhead functions we share with Martin Resource Management
retained businesses. This allocation is based on the percentage of time spent by Martin Resource
Management personnel that provide such centralized services. Generally accepted accounting
principles also permit other methods for allocation these expenses, such as basing the allocation
on the percentage of revenues contributed by a segment. The allocation of these expenses between
Martin Resource Management and us is subject to a number of judgments and estimates, regardless of
the method used. We can provide no assurances that our method of allocation, in the past or in the
future, is or will be the most accurate or appropriate method of allocation these expenses. Other
methods could result in a higher allocation of selling, general and administrative expense to us,
which would
37
reduce our net income. Under the omnibus agreement, the reimbursement amount with
respect to indirect general and administrative and corporate overhead expenses was capped at $2.0
million for the period ending October 31, 2006. Subsequently, this amount may be increased by no
more than the percentage increase in the consumer price index. In addition, Martin Resource
Management and we can agree, subject to approval of the Conflicts Committee of our general partner,
to adjust this amount for expansions of our operations and
acquisitions. Martin Resource Management allocated indirect selling, general and
administrative expenses of $0.3 million for both three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. Martin
Resource Management allocated indirect selling, general and administrative expenses of $0.7 million
for both six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash Flows and Capital Expenditures
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, cash decreased $3.4 million as a result of $28.0
million provided by operating activities, $77.2 million used in investing activities and $45.8
million provided by financing activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, cash decreased
$2.3 million as a result of $10.9 million provided by operating activities, $42.9 million used in
investing activities and $29.7 million provided by financing activities.
For the six months ended June 30, 2007 our investing activities of $77.2 million consisted of
capital expenditures, acquisitions, return of investments from unconsolidated entities and
investments in unconsolidated entities. For the six months ended June 30, 2006 our investing
activities of $42.9 million consisted of capital expenditures, acquisitions, proceeds from sale of
property, plant and equipment, insurance proceeds from involuntary conversion of property, plant
and equipment, investments in and distributions from unconsolidated partnerships.
Generally, our capital expenditure requirements have consisted, and we expect that our capital
requirements will continue to consist, of:
|
|
|
maintenance capital expenditures, which are capital expenditures made to replace
assets to maintain our existing operations and to extend the useful lives of our
assets; and |
|
|
|
|
expansion capital expenditures, which are capital expenditures made to grow our
business, to expand and upgrade our existing terminalling, marine transportation,
storage and manufacturing facilities, and to construct new terminalling facilities,
plants, storage facilities and new marine transportation assets. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, our capital expenditures for property and
equipment were $68.8 million and $45.2 million, respectively.
As to each period:
|
|
|
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, we spent $64.9 million for expansion and
$4.0 million for maintenance. Our expansion capital expenditures were made in
connection with assets acquired in the Woodlawn and Mega Lube acquisitions, marine
vessel purchases and conversions, construction projects associated with our
terminalling business, and the sulfuric acid plant construction project at our
facility in Plainview, Texas. Our maintenance capital expenditures were primarily
made in our marine transportation segment for routine dry dockings of our vessels
pursuant to the United States Coast Guard requirements and include
$0.1 million spent in connection with restoration of assets
destroyed in Hurricanes Rita and Katrina.. |
|
|
|
|
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, we spent $36.3 million for expansion and
$8.9 million for maintenance. Our expansion capital expenditures were made in
connection with our marine vessel purchases, construction projects associated with
Prism Gas, the sulfur priller construction project at our Neches facility in Beaumont,
Texas, and the sulfuric acid plant construction project at our facility in Plainview,
Texas. Our maintenance capital expenditures were primarily made in our marine
transportation segment for routine dry dockings of our vessels pursuant to the United
States Coast Guard requirements and in our terminal segment for terminal facilities
where $3.9 million in maintenance capital expenditures was spent in connection with
restoration of assets |
38
|
|
|
destroyed in Hurricanes Rita and Katrina. |
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, our financing activities consisted of cash
distributions paid to common and subordinated unitholders of $17.3 million, net proceeds from a
follow on equity offering of $55.9 million, payments of long term debt to financial lenders of
$97.3 million, borrowings of long-term debt under our credit facility of $103.3 million and
contributions of $1.2 million from our general partner.
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, our financing activities consisted of cash
distributions paid to common and subordinated unitholders of $16.0 million, net proceeds from a
follow on equity offering of $95.3 million, payments of long term debt to financial lenders of
$86.3 million, borrowings of long-term debt under our credit facility of $35.0 million,
contributions of $2.1 million from our general partner and payments of debt issuance costs of $0.3
million.
We made net investments in unconsolidated entities of $5.8 and $1.3 million during the six
months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The net investment in unconsolidated entities
includes $6.1 million and $2.3 million of expansion capital expenditures in the six months ended
June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Capital Resources
Historically, we have generally satisfied our working capital requirements and funded our
capital expenditures with cash generated from operations and borrowings. We expect our primary
sources of funds for short-term liquidity needs will be cash flows from operations and borrowings
under our credit facility.
As of June 30, 2007, we had $180.1 million of outstanding indebtedness, consisting of
outstanding borrowings of $50.0 million under our revolving credit facility and $130.0 million
under our term loan facility and $0.1 of other secured debt.
On June 13, 2007, we financed the Mega Lube acquisition through approximately $4.6 million in
borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
On May 2, 2007, we financed the Woodlawn acquisition through approximately $33.0 million in
borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
In November 2005, we borrowed approximately $63.1 million under our credit facility to pay a
portion of the purchase price for the Prism Gas acquisition. The remainder of the purchase price
was funded by $5.0 million previously escrowed by us, $15.5 million of new equity capital provided
by Martin Resource Management in exchange for newly issued common units, approximately $9.6 million
of newly issued common units issued to a certain number of the sellers and approximately $0.8
million in capital provided by Martin Resource Management for acquisition costs and to maintain its
2% general partnership interest in us. The common units were priced at $32.54 per common unit,
based on the average closing price of our common units on the NASDAQ during the ten trading days
immediately preceding and immediately following the date of the execution of the definitive
purchase agreement.
In May 2007, the Partnership completed a follow-on public offering of 1,380,000 common units,
resulting in proceeds of $56.0 million, after payment of underwriters discounts, commissions, and
offering expenses. Our general partner contributed $1.2 million in cash to us in conjunction with
the offering in order to maintain its 2% general partner interest in us. The net proceeds were
used to pay down revolving debt under the Partnerships credit facility and to provide working
capital.
In January 2006, we completed a follow-on public offering of 3,450,000 common units, resulting
in proceeds of $95.3 million, after payment of underwriters discounts, commissions and offering
expenses. Our general partner contributed $2.1 million in cash to us in conjunction with the
offering in order to maintain its 2% general partner interest in us. Of the net proceeds, $62.0
million was used to pay then current balances under our revolving credit facility and $7.5 million
was used to fund a portion of the redemption price for our
U.S. Government Guaranteed Ship Financing Bonds. These bonds were paid on March 6, 2006 with
available cash and borrowings from our revolving credit facility. At such time, we also paid the
related $1.2 million pre-payment premium. The remainder of the net proceeds will be used to
provide working capital.
39
In December 2006, we issued 470,484 common units to Martin Product Sales LLC, an affiliate of
Martin Resource Management, for approximately $15.3 million, including a capital contribution of
approximately $0.3 million made by our general partner in order to maintain its 2% general partner
interest in us. These funds were used to reduce the revolving line of credit.
We believe that cash generated from operations, and our borrowing capacity under our credit
facility, will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements, anticipated capital
expenditures and scheduled debt payments in 2007. However, our ability to satisfy our working
capital requirements, to fund planned capital expenditures and to satisfy our debt service
obligations will depend upon our future operating performance, which is subject to certain risks.

Interest commitments are estimated using our current interest rates for the respective credit
agreements over their remaining terms. |
Letter of Credit At June 30, 2007, we have an outstanding irrevocable letter of credit in
the amount of $0.1 million which was issued under our revolving credit facility. This letter of
credit was issued to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to provide financial assurance
for our used oil handling program.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements. We do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements.
Description of Our Credit Facility
On November 10, 2005, we entered into a new $225.0 million multi-bank credit facility
comprised of a $130.0 million term loan facility and a $95.0 million revolving credit facility,
which includes a $20.0 million letter of credit sub-limit. Our credit facility also includes
procedures for additional financial institutions to become revolving lenders, or for any existing
revolving lender to increase its revolving commitment, subject to a maximum of $100.0 million for
all such increases in revolving commitments of new or existing revolving lenders. Effective June
30, 2006, we increased our revolving credit facility $25.0 million resulting in a committed $120.0
million revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility is used for ongoing working
capital needs and general partnership purposes, and to finance permitted investments, acquisitions
and capital expenditures. Under the amended and restated credit facility, as of June 30, 2007, we had
$50.0 million outstanding under the revolving credit facility and $130.0 million outstanding under
the term loan facility. As of June 30, 2007, we had $69.9 million available under our revolving
credit facility.
On July 14, 2005, we issued a $0.1 million irrevocable letter of credit to the Texas
Commission on Environmental Quality to provide financial assurance for its used oil handling
program.
40
Draws made under our credit facility are normally made to fund acquisitions and for working
capital requirements. During the current fiscal year, draws on our credit facilities have ranged
from a low of $170.6 million to a high of $226.9 million.
Our obligations under the credit facility are secured by substantially all of our assets,
including, without limitation, inventory, accounts receivable, marine vessels, equipment, fixed
assets and the interests in our operating subsidiaries and equity method investees. We may prepay
all amounts outstanding under this facility at any time without penalty.
Indebtedness under the credit facility bears interest at either LIBOR plus an applicable
margin or the base prime rate plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin for revolving loans
that are LIBOR loans ranges from 1.50% to 3.00% and the applicable margin for revolving loans that
are base prime rate loans ranges from 0.50% to 2.00%. The applicable margin for term loans that
are LIBOR loans ranges from 2.00% to 3.00% and the applicable margin for term loans that are base
prime rate loans ranges from 1.00% to 2.00%. The applicable margin for existing borrowings is
2.00%. Effective July 1, 2007, the applicable margin for existing borrowings remains 2.00%. As a
result of our leverage ratio test, effective October 1, 2007, the applicable margin for existing
borrowing will decrease to 1.75%. We incur a commitment fee on the unused portions of the credit
facility.
Effective April 13, 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap that swaps $75.0 million of
floating rate to fixed rate. The fixed rate cost is 5.25% plus our applicable LIBOR borrowing
spread. This interest rate swap which matures in November 2010 is accounted for using hedge
accounting.
Effective December 13, 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap that swaps $40.0 million of
floating rate to fixed rate. The fixed rate cost is 4.82% plus our applicable LIBOR borrowing
spread. This interest rate swap, which matures in December, 2009, is accounted for using hedge
accounting.
Effective December 13, 2006, we entered into an interest rate swap that swaps $30.0 million of
floating rate to fixed rate. The fixed rate cost is 4.765% plus our applicable LIBOR borrowing
spread. This interest rate swap, which matures in March, 2010, is not accounted for using hedge
accounting.
In addition, the credit facility contains various covenants, which, among other things, limit
our ability to: (i) incur indebtedness; (ii) grant certain liens; (iii) merge or consolidate unless
we are the survivor; (iv) sell all or substantially all of our assets; (v) make certain
acquisitions; (vi) make certain investments; (vii) make certain capital expenditures; (viii) make
distributions other than from available cash; (ix) create obligations for some lease payments; (x)
engage in transactions with affiliates; (xi) engage in other types of business; and (xii) our joint
ventures to incur indebtedness or grant certain liens.
The credit facility also contains covenants, which, among other things, require us to maintain
specified ratios of: (i) minimum net worth (as defined in the credit facility) of $75.0 million
plus 50% of net proceeds from equity issuances after November 10, 2005; (ii) EBITDA (as defined in
the credit facility) to interest expense of not less than 3.0 to 1.0 at the end of each fiscal
quarter; (iii) total funded debt to EBITDA of not more than (x) 5.5 to 1.0 for the fiscal quarter
ended September 30, 2005, (y) 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2005 through
September 30, 2006, and (z) 4.75 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter; and (iv) total secured
funded debt to EBITDA of not more than (x) 5.50 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarter ended September 30,
2005, (y) 5.25 to 1.00 for the fiscal quarters ending December 31, 2005 through September 20, 2006,
and (z) 4.00 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter thereafter. We are in compliance with the debt
covenants contained in the credit facility.
On November 10 of each year, commencing with November 10, 2006, we must prepay the term loans
under the credit facility with 75% of Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the credit facility), unless
its ratio of total funded debt to EBITDA is less than 3.00 to 1.00. No prepayments under the term
loan were required to be made in 2006. If we receive greater than $15.0 million from the incurrence
of indebtedness other than under the credit facility, we must prepay indebtedness under the credit
facility with all such proceeds in excess of $15.0 million. Any such prepayments are first applied
to the term loans under the credit facility. We must prepay revolving loans under the credit
facility with the net cash proceeds from any issuance of its equity. We must also prepay
indebtedness under the credit facility with the proceeds of certain asset dispositions. Other than
these mandatory prepayments, the credit facility requires interest only payments on a quarterly
basis until maturity. All outstanding principal and unpaid interest must be paid by November 10,
2010. The credit facility
41
contains customary events of default, including, without limitation,
payment defaults, cross-defaults to other material indebtedness, bankruptcy-related defaults,
change of control defaults and litigation-related defaults.
As
of August 6, 2007, our outstanding indebtedness includes $196.8 million under our credit
facility.
Seasonality
A substantial portion of our revenues are dependent on sales prices of products, particularly
NGLs and fertilizers, which fluctuate in part based on winter and spring weather conditions. The
demand for NGLs is strongest during the winter heating season. The demand for fertilizers is
strongest during the early spring planting season. However, our terminalling and storage and
marine transportation businesses and the molten sulfur business are typically not impacted by
seasonal fluctuations. We expect to derive a majority of our net income from our terminalling and
storage, marine transportation and sulfur businesses. Therefore, we do not expect that our overall
net income will be impacted by seasonality factors. However, extraordinary weather events, such as
hurricanes, have in the past, and could in the future, impact our terminalling and storage and
marine transportation businesses. For example, Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in the third quarter of
2005 adversely impacted operating expenses and the four hurricanes that impacted the Gulf of Mexico
and Florida in the third quarter of 2004 adversely impacted our terminalling and storage and marine
transportation businesss revenues.
Impact of Inflation
Inflation in the United States has been relatively low in recent years and did not have a
material impact on our results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.
However, inflation remains a factor in the United States economy and could increase our cost to
acquire or replace property, plant and equipment as well as our labor and supply costs. We cannot
assure you that we will be able to pass along increased costs to our customers.
Increasing energy prices could adversely affect our results of operations. Diesel fuel,
natural gas, chemicals and other supplies are recorded in operating expenses. An increase in price
of these products would increase our operating expenses which could adversely affect net income.
We cannot assure you that we will be able to pass along increased operating expenses to our
customers.
Environmental Matters
Our operations are subject to environmental laws and regulations adopted by various
governmental authorities in the jurisdictions in which these operations are conducted. We incurred
no material environmental costs, liabilities or expenditures to mitigate or eliminate environmental
contamination during the six months ended June 30, 2007 or 2006. Under our omnibus agreement,
Martin Resource Management will indemnify us through November 6, 2007, against:
|
|
certain potential environmental liabilities associated with the assets it
contributed to us relating to events or conditions that occurred or existed before the
closing of our initial public offering in November 2002; and |
|
|
any payments we are required to make, as a successor in interest to affiliates of
Martin Resource Management, under environmental indemnity provisions contained in the
contribution agreement associated with the contribution of assets by Martin Resource
Management to CF Martin Sulphur L.P. in November 2000. |

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. We
are exposed to market risks associated with commodity prices, counterparty credit and interest
rates. Historically, we have not engaged in commodity contract trading or hedging activities.
However, in connection with our acquisition of Prism Gas, we have established a hedging policy.
For the period ended June 30, 2007, changes in the fair value of our derivative contracts were
recorded both in earnings and comprehensive income since we have designated a portion of our
derivative instruments as hedges as of June 30, 2007.
Commodity Price Risk. We are exposed to market risks associated with commodity prices,
counterparty credit and interest rates. Historically, we have not engaged in commodity contract
trading or hedging activities. Under our hedging policy, we monitor and manage the commodity
market risk associated with the commodity risk exposure of Prism Gas. In addition, we are focusing
on utilizing counterparties for these transactions whose financial condition is appropriate for the
credit risk involved in each specific transaction.
We use derivatives to manage the risk of commodity price fluctuations. Our counterparties to
the commodity derivative contracts include Coral Energy Holding LP, Morgan Stanley Capital Group
Inc. and Wachovia Bank.
On all transactions where we are exposed to counterparty risk, we analyze the counterpartys
financial condition prior to entering into an agreement, and have established a maximum credit
limit threshold pursuant to our hedging policy and monitor the appropriateness of these limits on
an ongoing basis.
As a result of the Prism Gas acquisition, we are exposed to the impact of market fluctuations
in the prices of natural gas, natural gas liquids (NGLs) and condensate as a result of gathering,
processing and sales activities. Prism Gas gathering and processing revenues are earned under
various contractual arrangements with gas producers. Gathering revenues are generated through a
combination of fixed-fee and index-related arrangements. Processing revenues are generated
primarily through contracts which provide for processing on percent-of-liquids (POL) and
percent-of-proceeds (POP) basis. Prism Gas has entered into hedging transactions through 2010 to
protect a portion of its commodity exposure from these contracts. These hedging arrangements are in
the form of swaps for crude oil, natural gas and ethane.
Based on estimated volumes, as of June 30, 2007, Prism Gas had hedged approximately 39%, 50%,
22% and 7% of its commodity risk by volume for 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, respectively. We
anticipate entering into additional commodity derivatives on an ongoing basis to manage our risks
associated with these market fluctuations, and will consider using various commodity derivatives,
including forward contracts, swaps, collars, futures and options, although there is no assurance
that we will be able to do so or that the terms thereof will be similar to the our existing hedging
arrangements. In addition, we will consider derivative arrangements that include the specific NGL
products as well as natural gas and crude oil.

Our principal customers with respect to Prism Gas natural gas gathering and processing
are large, natural gas marketing services, oil and gas producers and industrial end-users. In
addition, substantially all of
43
our natural gas and NGL sales are made at market-based prices. Our
standard gas and NGL sales contracts contain adequate assurance provisions which allows for the
suspension of deliveries, cancellation of agreements or continuance of deliveries to the buyer
unless the buyer provides security for payment in a form satisfactory to the Partnership.
Interest Rate Risk. We are exposed to changes in interest rates as a result of our credit
facility, which had a weighted-average interest rate of 7.07% as of June 30, 2007. We had a total
of $180.0 million of indebtedness outstanding under our credit facility as of the date hereof of
which $35.0 million was unhedged floating rate debt. Based on the amount of unhedged floating rate
debt owed by us on June 30, 2007, the impact of a 1% increase in interest rates on this amount of
debt would result in an increase in interest expense and a corresponding decrease in net income of
approximately $0.4 million annually.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. In accordance with Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), we, under the supervision
and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of our
general partner, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and
procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered
by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer
of our general partner concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of
the end of the period covered by this report, to provide reasonable assurance that information
required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange
Commissions rules and forms.
