Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
Certain matters contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We make these forward-looking statements in reliance on the safe harbor protections provided under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this Form 10-Q regarding the contemplated drop-down transaction between us and Rose Rock Midstream, L.P., the prospects of our industry, our anticipated financial performance, the anticipated performance of NGL Energy Partners LP, management’s plans and objectives for future operations, business prospects, outcome of regulatory proceedings, market conditions and other matters, may constitute forward-looking statements. In addition, forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “foresee,” “project,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “plans,” “forecasts,” “continue” or “could” or the negative of these terms or variations of them or similar terms. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that these expectations will prove to be correct. These forward-looking statements are subject to certain known and unknown risks, and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in these forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause actual results to differ include, but are not limited to, those discussed in Item 1A of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, entitled “Risk Factors,” risk factors discussed in other reports that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, those discussed in Item 2 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" below and the following:
Our ability to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to enable us to pay our debt obligations or to fund our other liquidity needs;
Our ability to comply with the covenants contained in, and maintain certain financial ratios required by, our credit facilities;
Our ability to obtain additional capital on terms that are favorable to us;
The ability of our subsidiary, Rose Rock Midstream, L.P., to make minimum quarterly distributions to its unitholders, including us;
The operations of NGL Energy Partners LP, which we do not control;
Any sustained reduction in demand for the petroleum products we gather, transport, process and store;
Our ability to obtain new sources of supply of petroleum products;
Our failure to comply with new or existing environmental laws or regulations or cross border laws or regulations;
The possibility that the construction or acquisition of new assets may not result in the corresponding anticipated revenue increases;
Changes in currency exchange rates;
The risks and uncertainties of doing business outside of the U.S., including political and economic instability and changes in local governmental laws, regulations and policies; and
The possibility that our hedging activities may result in losses or may have a negative impact on our financial results.
New factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all such factors, or the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statement.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements contained in this Form 10-Q, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date hereof. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision to any forward-looking statements. 
Investors and others should note that we announce material company information using our investor relations website (investor.relations@semgroupcorp.com), SEC filings, press releases, public conference calls and webcasts. We use these channels, as well as social media, to communicate with our investors and the public about our company, our businesses and our results of operations. The information we post on social media could be deemed to be material information. Therefore, we encourage investors, the media and others interested in our company to review the information we post on the social media channels listed on our investor relations website.

As used in this Form 10-Q, and unless the context indicates otherwise, the terms “the Company,” “SemGroup,” “we,” “us,” “our,” “ours,” and similar terms refer to SemGroup® Corporation, its consolidated subsidiaries, and its predecessors. We sometimes refer to crude oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids (natural gas liquids, or “NGLs,” include ethane, propane, normal butane, iso-butane, and natural gasoline), refined petroleum products and liquid asphalt cement, collectively, as “petroleum products” or “products.”

SEMGROUP CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
 
1.
OVERVIEW
SemGroup Corporation is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Tulsa, Oklahoma. SemGroup Corporation is the successor entity of SemGroup, L.P., which was an Oklahoma limited partnership. The terms “we,” “our,” “us,” “SemGroup,” “the Company” and similar language used in these notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements refer to SemGroup Corporation, SemGroup, L.P., and their subsidiaries.
Basis of presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). These financial statements include all normal and recurring adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company and the results of its operations and its cash flows.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012, is derived from audited financial statements.
Our condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our controlled subsidiaries. All significant transactions between our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Although management believes these estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The results of operations for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2013.
Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and notes normally included with financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC.
Certain reclassifications have been made to conform previously reported balances to the current presentation.
Our significant accounting policies are consistent with those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.
Recent accounting pronouncements
On January 31, 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standard Update ("ASU") 2013-01, "Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities," which clarifies the scope of the offsetting disclosure requirements in ASU 2011-11, "Disclosures About Offsetting Assets and Liabilities." Under ASU 2013-01, the disclosure requirements apply to derivative instruments accounted for in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 815, "Derivatives and Hedging," including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending arrangements that are either offset on the balance sheet or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. ASU 2013-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and interim periods within those years. Retrospective application is required for all comparative periods presented. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2013. The impact of adoption was not material.
On February 5, 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, "Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." This ASU adds new disclosure requirements for items reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI"). The ASU is intended to help entities improve the transparency of changes in other comprehensive income ("OCI") and items reclassified out of AOCI in their financial statements. It does not amend any existing requirements for reporting net income or OCI in the financial statements. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2013. The impact of adoption was not material.
On February 28, 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-04, "Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)." The ASU requires entities to “measure obligations resulting from joint and several

Page 8

OVERVIEW, Continued


liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the following:
the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors; and
any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors.”
Required disclosures include a description of the joint and several arrangement and the total outstanding amount of the obligation for all joint parties. The ASU permits entities to aggregate disclosures (as opposed to providing separate disclosures for each joint and several obligation). These disclosure requirements are incremental to the existing related-party disclosure requirements in ASC 850, "Related Party Disclosures." The ASU is effective for public entities for all prior periods in fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013, and interim reporting periods within those years. The Company will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2014. The impact is not expected to be material.
On March 4, 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-05, "Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment Upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets Within a Foreign Entity or of an Investment in a Foreign Entity - a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force”, which indicates that the entire amount of a cumulative translation adjustment ("CTA") related to an entity's investment in a foreign entity should be released when there has been a:
sale of a subsidiary or group of net assets within a foreign entity and the sale represents the substantially complete liquidation of the investment in the foreign entity;
loss of a controlling financial interest in an investment in a foreign entity (i.e., the foreign entity is deconsolidated); or
step acquisition for a foreign entity (i.e., when an entity has changed from applying the equity method for an investment in a foreign entity to consolidating the foreign entity).
The ASU does not change the requirement to release a pro rata portion of the CTA of the foreign entity into earnings for a partial sale of an equity method investment in a foreign entity. For public entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013, and interim periods within those years. The Company will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2014. The impact is not expected to be material.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, "Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists," which requires an unrecognized tax benefit to be classified as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, except in certain circumstances. For public entities, this ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013, and interim periods within those years. The Company will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2014. The impact is not expected to be material.

ROSE ROCK MIDSTREAM, L.P.
We control the operations of our consolidated subsidiary, Rose Rock Midstream, L.P. ("Rose Rock") through our ownership of the general partner interest. As of September 30, 2013, we own the 2% general partner interest and a 46.7% limited partner interest made up of 2.9 million common units, 8.4 million subordinated units and 1.25 million Class A units.
In August 2013, Rose Rock sold 4.75 million common limited partner units to third-party purchasers for $152.5 million, net of underwriting discounts and commissions. Proceeds were used to repay borrowings on the Rose Rock credit facility.
On January 11, 2013, we contributed a 33% interest in SemCrude Pipeline, L.L.C. ("SCPL") to Rose Rock in exchange for (i) cash of approximately $189.5 million, (ii) the issuance of 1.5 million common units, (iii) the issuance of 1.25 million Class A units and (iv) an increase of the capital account of the general partner of Rose Rock and a related issuance of general partner interest, to allow the general partner of Rose Rock to maintain its 2% general partner interest. SCPL owns a 51% membership interest in White Cliffs Pipeline, L.L.C. ("White Cliffs"), which owns a 527-mile pipeline that transports crude oil from Platteville, Colorado to Cushing, Oklahoma (the "White Cliffs Pipeline"), giving Rose Rock an indirect 17% interest in White Cliffs.

The Class A units are not entitled to receive any distribution of available cash (other than upon liquidation) prior to the first day of the month immediately following the first month for which the average daily throughput volumes on the White Cliffs Pipeline for such month are 125,000 barrels per day or greater. Upon such date, the Class A units will automatically convert into common units.
As this transaction was between parties under common control, Rose Rock recorded its interest in SCPL at SemGroup's historical value and, as such, no gain on the sale was recognized by SemGroup. Proceeds in excess of the historical value were accounted for as an equity transaction between Rose Rock and SemGroup and resulted in a $90.5 million reduction to noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries and an offsetting increase to additional paid-in capital of $56.8 million (net of tax impact of $33.7 million). This non-cash entry represents the portion of the proceeds in excess of historical cost which were attributed to Rose Rock's third-party unitholders.
In connection with this transaction, Rose Rock issued and sold 2.0 million common units to third-party purchasers in a private placement for aggregate consideration of $59.3 million. In addition, Rose Rock exercised the accordion feature of its revolving credit facility and increased the total borrowing capacity under the credit facility from $150 million to $385 million and made a borrowing of $133.5 million under the credit facility. The proceeds from the private placement and the borrowing were used by Rose Rock to fund the cash consideration in the transaction with us and to pay certain related transaction costs and expenses.
SemGroup incurred $1.4 million of general and administrative expense associated with the transaction including amounts expensed by Rose Rock. Rose Rock incurred $3.7 million of cost, of which $1.6 million of equity issuance costs were offset against proceeds, $1.6 million was related to the borrowing and was deferred and $0.5 million was expensed as general and administrative expense in the condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income.
Outside ownership interests in Rose Rock are reflected in “noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The portion of Rose Rock’s net income attributable to outside owners is reflected within “net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013.
We receive distributions from Rose Rock on our common and subordinated units, our 2% general partner interest and incentive distribution rights. Rose Rock intends to pay a minimum quarterly distribution of $0.3625 per unit, to the extent it has sufficient available cash, as defined in Rose Rock’s partnership agreement. Rose Rock’s partnership agreement requires Rose Rock to distribute all of its available cash each quarter in the following manner:

In August 2012, the owners of White Cliffs approved an expansion project to construct a 12" pipeline from Platteville, Colorado to Cushing, Oklahoma. The project is expected to cost approximately $300 million, which will be funded by capital calls to owners. Our funding requirement will be 51% of the total cost. We have contributed approximately $97.8 million for project funding up through September 30, 2013, including $35.9 million and $95.5 million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, and estimate our expected remaining contributions to be $53.3 million, which will be made in 2014.

The equity in earnings of White Cliffs for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 reported in our condensed consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income is less than 51% of the net income of White Cliffs for the same period. This is due to certain general and administrative expenses we incur in managing the operations of White Cliffs that the other owners are not obligated to share. Such expenses are recorded by White Cliffs and are allocated to our ownership interest. White Cliffs recorded $0.5 million and $24 thousand of such general and administrative expense for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1.2 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
NGL Energy Partners LP
We own 9,133,409 common units representing limited partner interests in NGL Energy Partners LP (NYSE: NGL) (“NGL Energy”), which represents approximately 17.0% of the total 53,622,659 limited partner units of NGL Energy outstanding at June 30, 2013, and a 11.78% interest in the general partner of NGL Energy.
At September 30, 2013, the fair market value of our 9,133,409 common unit investment in NGL Energy was $281.7 million, based on a September 30, 2013 closing price of $30.84 per common unit. This does not reflect our interest in the general partner of NGL Energy. The fair value of our limited partner investment in NGL Energy is categorized as a Level 1 measurement, as it is based on quoted market prices.
Our policy is to record our equity in earnings of NGL Energy on a one-quarter lag, as we do not expect information on the earnings of NGL Energy to always be available in time to consistently record the earnings in the quarter in which they are generated. Accordingly, the equity in earnings from NGL Energy, which is reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, relates to the earnings of NGL Energy for the three months and nine months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, prorated for the period of time we held our ownership interest in NGL Energy.

Glass Mountain Pipeline, LLC
In May 2012, we formed a joint venture, Glass Mountain Pipeline, LLC (“Glass Mountain” or "GMP"), to construct, maintain and operate a 210-mile crude oil pipeline system ("the Glass Mountain Pipeline") originating in Alva and Arnett, Oklahoma and terminating at Cushing, Oklahoma. The Glass Mountain Pipeline is expected to be operational in January 2014. Once the pipeline is in service, it will be operated by a subsidiary of Rose Rock. Our original ownership interest in GMP was 25%. In September 2012, we acquired an additional 25% ownership interest in GMP, bringing our total ownership interest to 50% . We account for our investment in GMP using the equity method. As of September 30, 2013, we have invested $102.4 million in GMP including our capital contributions, amounts paid to acquire the additional ownership percentage, and capitalized interest. We invested $6.7 million and $28.0 million in GMP for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. We expect to make additional contributions of approximately $26.5 million for the remainder of 2013 and $3.5 million in 2014.

SEGMENTS
Our businesses are organized based on the nature and location of the services they provide. Certain summarized information related to our reportable segments is shown in the tables below. None of the operating segments have been aggregated, other than White Cliffs and Glass Mountain, which have been included within the Crude segment. Our investment in NGL Energy is included within the SemStream segment. Although “Corporate and Other” does not represent an operating segment, it is included in the tables below to reconcile segment information to that of the consolidated Company. Eliminations of transactions between segments are also included within “Corporate and Other” in the tables below.
The accounting policies of each segment are the same as the accounting policies of the consolidated Company. Transactions between segments are generally recorded based on prices negotiated between the segments. Certain general and administrative and interest expenses incurred at the corporate level are allocated to the segments, based on our allocation policies in effect at the time.

*Relates primarily to exchange traded futures. Gain and loss positions on multiple contracts are settled net on a daily basis with the exchange.
“Level 1” measurements use as inputs unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities. These include commodity futures contracts that are traded on an exchange. These also include common stock warrants (Note 10) which are traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
“Level 2” measurements use as inputs market observable and corroborated prices for similar commodity derivative contracts. Assets and liabilities classified as Level 2 include over-the-counter (“OTC”) traded forward contracts and swaps.
“Level 3” measurements use as inputs information from a pricing service and internal valuation models incorporating observable and unobservable market data. These may include commodity derivatives, such as forwards and swaps for which there is not a highly liquid market, and therefore are not included in Level 2.
Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value levels. At September 30, 2013, all of our physical fixed price forward purchases and sales contracts were being accounted for as normal purchases and normal sales.
There were no financial assets or liabilities classified as Level 2 or Level 3 during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, as such no rollforward of activity has been presented.
Commodity derivative contracts
Our consolidated results of operations and cash flows are impacted by changes in market prices for petroleum products. This exposure to commodity price risk is managed, in part, by entering into various commodity derivatives.
We seek to manage the price risk associated with our marketing operations by limiting our net open positions through (i) the concurrent purchase and sale of like quantities of petroleum products to create back-to-back transactions that are intended to lock in positive margins based on the timing, location or quality of the petroleum products purchased and delivered or (ii) derivative contracts. Our storage and transportation assets can also be used to mitigate location and time basis risk. All marketing activities are subject to our Comprehensive Risk Management Policy, which establishes limits in order to manage risk and mitigate financial exposure.
Our commodity derivatives can be comprised of swaps, future contracts and forward contracts of crude oil and natural gas liquids. These are defined as follows:

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS, Continued

Swaps – OTC transactions where a floating price, basis or index is exchanged for a fixed (or a different floating) price, basis or index at a preset schedule in the future, according to an agreed-upon formula.
Futures contracts – Exchange traded contracts to buy or sell a commodity. These contracts are standardized by the exchange in terms of quality, quantity, delivery period and location for each commodity.
Forward contracts – OTC contracts to buy or sell a commodity at an agreed upon future date. The buyer and seller agree on specific terms (price, quantity, delivery period and location) and conditions at the inception of the contract.
The following table sets forth the unaudited notional quantities for commodity derivative instruments entered into (in thousands of barrels):

We have posted margin deposits as collateral with brokers who have the right of set off associated with these funds. Our margin accounts were in a net liability position at September 30, 2013 of $0.1 million. At December 31, 2012, our margin deposit balance was $1.9 million. These margin account balances have not been offset against our net commodity derivative instrument (contract) positions. Had these margin deposits been netted against our net commodity derivative instrument (contract) positions as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we would have had net asset positions of $0.6 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Warrants
As described in Note 10, upon emergence from bankruptcy, we issued certain common stock warrants. These warrants are recorded at fair value in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, with changes in the fair value recorded to other expense (income).

INCOME TAXES
Due to our emergence from bankruptcy and overall restructuring, we recorded a full valuation allowance on all U.S. federal and state deferred tax assets in all periods prior to March 31, 2013. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when a determination is made that it is more likely than not that some, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized based on the weight of all available evidence. Evidence which is objectively verifiable carries a higher weight in the analysis. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the existence of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character within the carryback and carryforward period available under the tax law. Sources of taxable income include future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, future earnings and available tax planning strategies.

7.     INCOME TAXES, Continued

The nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes a discrete tax benefit of $50.9 million for the partial release of our valuation allowance. The tax benefit was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Gain recognition, for tax purposes, on the contribution of a 33% interest in SemCrude Pipeline, L.L.C. to Rose Rock, as disclosed in Note 2, had a material impact to the available positive and objectively verifiable evidence for that quarter and, combined with other factors, resulted in the change in our assessment of recoverability of the deferred tax assets. Under ASC 740, "Income Taxes", such evidence was not considered in the valuation allowance at December 31, 2012, due to fundamentals of the transaction which remained subject to market influence until closed. We did not release the valuation allowance attributable to a small portion of our state net operating loss carryovers which have shorter carryover periods. We have not released the valuation allowance on the foreign tax credits due to the foreign tax credit limitation and the relative subjectivity of forecasts of the relational magnitude of U.S. and foreign taxable income in future periods, as well as the shorter carryover period available for the credits.

We have determined that no accruals related to uncertainty in tax positions are required. All income tax years of the Company ending after the emergence from bankruptcy remain open for examination in all jurisdictions. In foreign jurisdictions, all tax years within the relevant statute of limitations for periods prior to the emergence from bankruptcy remain open for examination. Currently, there are no examinations in progress for our federal or state jurisdictions. Canada Revenue Agency has initiated an income tax audit of SemCAMS ULC for the tax year 2009, which remains in progress. We do not anticipate the SemCAMS ULC audit will have a significant impact on the results of operations or financial position. No other foreign jurisdictions are currently under audit.

The effective tax rate was 52% and 109% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and (231)% and 10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 is impacted by a $3.3 million discrete deferred tax benefit resulting from enactment of U.K. tax rate reductions for future periods. Significant items that impacted the effective tax rate for each period, as compared to the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35%, include earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates, a noncontrolling interest in Rose Rock for which taxes are not provided, warrant expense which is not deductible for tax purposes, and the impact of the valuation allowance or release recorded against our deferred tax assets. Further, the foreign earnings are taxed in foreign jurisdictions as well as in the U.S., since they are disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Deferred tax liabilities, with the exception of those related to certain long-lived assets, have been considered as a source of future taxable income in establishing the amount of the valuation allowance. These combined factors, and the magnitude of permanent items impacting the tax rate relative to income from continuing operations before income taxes, result in rates that are not comparable between the periods.

SemGroup senior unsecured notes
On June 14, 2013, we completed an offering of $300 million of 7.50% senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the “Notes”) to certain initial purchasers for resale to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S of the Securities Act. The Notes are guaranteed by certain of our subsidiaries: SemGas, L.P., SemCanada, L.P., SemCanada

LONG-TERM DEBT, Continued

II, L.P., SemMaterials, L.P., SemStream, L.P., SemGroup Europe Holding, L.L.C., SemOperating G.P., L.L.C., SemMexico, L.L.C., SemDevelopment, L.L.C., Rose Rock Midstream Holdings, LLC, Wattenberg Holding, LLC, Glass Mountain Holding, LLC and Mid-America Midstream Gas Services, L.L.C. (collectively, the "Guarantors").
The net proceeds from the offering were $294.0 million, after deducting the initial purchasers' discount. We used the net proceeds from the offering to (i) fund a portion of our acquisition on August 1, 2013, of all the outstanding equity interests in Mid-America Midstream Gas Services, L.L.C., a subsidiary of Chesapeake Energy Corporation, and (ii) during the second quarter of 2013, repay amounts borrowed under our revolving credit facility.
The Notes are governed by an indenture, as supplemented, between the Company and its subsidiary Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, N.A., as trustee (the “Indenture”). The Indenture includes customary covenants, including limitations on our ability to incur additional indebtedness or issue certain preferred shares; pay dividends and make certain distributions, investments and other restricted payments; create certain liens; sell assets; enter into transactions with affiliates; enter into sale and lease-back transactions; merge, consolidate, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; and designate our subsidiaries as unrestricted under the Indenture.
The Indenture includes customary events of default, including events of default relating to non-payment of principal and other amounts owing from time to time, failure to provide required reports, failure to comply with agreements in the indenture, cross payment-defaults to any material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency events, certain unsatisfied judgments, and invalidation or cessation of the subsidiary guarantee of a significant subsidiary. A default would permit holders to declare the Notes and accrued interest due and payable.
The Notes are effectively subordinated in right of payment to any of our, and the Guarantors', existing and future secured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness and are structurally subordinated to the obligations of any subsidiary that is not a guarantor of the Notes.
The Company may issue additional Notes under the Indenture from time to time, subject to the terms of the Indenture.
Except as described below, the Notes are not redeemable at the Company's option prior to June 15, 2016. From and after June 15, 2016, the Company may redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 15 of each of the years indicated below:
Year

2017
 
103.750%
2018
 
101.875%
2019 and thereafter
 
100.000%
Prior to June 15, 2016, the Company may, at its option, on one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the sum of the original aggregate principal amount of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 107.500% of the aggregate principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings of the Company, subject to certain conditions.
Prior to June 15, 2016, the Company may also redeem all or part of the Notes at a price equal to the principal plus a premium equal to the greater of 1% of the principal or the excess of the present value of the June 15, 2016 redemption price from the table above plus all required interest payments due through June 15, 2016, computed using a discount rate based on a published United States Treasury Rate plus 50 basis points, over the principal value of such Note.
In the event of a change of control, the Company is required to offer to repurchase the Notes at an amount equal to 101% of the principal plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Notes are also subject to a Registration Rights Agreement which requires the Company to file a registration statement with the SEC and to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC so that holders of the Notes can exchange the Notes and related guarantees for registered notes (the "Exchange Notes") and guarantees that have substantially identical terms as the Notes and related guarantees. The guarantees of the Exchange Notes will be full and unconditional and will constitute the joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. Failure to meet the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement will require the Company to pay

incremental interest of 0.25% per annum, increased by an additional 0.25% per annum for each 90-day period for which registration default continues (up to a maximum of 1.0% per annum).
Interest on the Notes is payable in arrears on June 15th and December 15th to holders of record on June 1st and December 1st each year until maturity. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we incurred $6.0 million and $7.1 million of interest expense related to the Notes, respectively, including the amortization of debt issuance costs. At September 30, 2013, we had $6.4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the Notes included in other noncurrent assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
At September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the terms of the Notes.
SemGroup corporate credit agreement
Our revolving credit facility had a capacity of $500 million at September 30, 2013. This capacity may be used either for cash borrowings or letters of credit, although the maximum letter of credit capacity is $250 million. At September 30, 2013, we had $155 million outstanding cash borrowings on this facility and outstanding letters of credit of $4.5 million.
The interest rate in effect at September 30, 2013, on $155 million of alternate base rate ("ABR") borrowings was 5.5%. At September 30, 2013, the rate in effect on letters of credit was 3.25%. In addition, a fronting fee of 0.25% is charged on outstanding letters of credit. A commitment fee of 0.5% is charged on any unused capacity on the revolving credit facility.
At September 30, 2013, $4.8 million in capitalized loan fees, net of accumulated amortization, was recorded in other noncurrent assets, which is being amortized over the life of the facility.
We recorded interest expense related to the SemGroup revolving credit facility of $2.3 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, including amortization of debt issuance costs. We recorded interest expense related to the SemGroup revolving credit facility of $5.0 million and $4.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, including amortization of debt issuance costs.
At September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the terms of the credit agreement.
On April 22, 2013, the credit agreement was amended to (i) permit the increase of the facility by up to an additional $300 million subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, (ii) remove the restriction limiting unsecured senior or subordinated indebtedness to $200 million, while establishing certain requirements for obtaining unsecured senior or subordinated indebtedness of $200 million or more and (iii) establish less restrictive leverage covenants.
On May 3, 2013, we elected to increase the credit facility capacity by $200 million, for a total capacity of $500 million. The facility can be increased by an additional $100 million. In connection with the increase, we recorded $2.2 million of capitalized loan fees which are being amortized over the remaining life of the facility.
The credit agreement is guaranteed by all of our material domestic subsidiaries (except for SemCrude Pipeline, L.L.C. and Rose Rock Midstream, L.P. and its subsidiaries) and secured by a lien on substantially all of our property and assets, subject to customary exceptions.
Rose Rock credit facility
At September 30, 2013, there was $85.0 million outstanding cash borrowings under the Rose Rock revolving credit facility, of which $55.0 million incurred interest at the ABR plus an applicable margin, and $30 million incurred interest at the Eurodollar rate plus an applicable margin. The interest rate in effect at September 30, 2013 on $55.0 million of ABR borrowings was 4.50%. The interest rate in effect at September 30, 2013 on $30 million of Eurodollar rate borrowings was 2.53%.
Rose Rock had $31.8 million in outstanding letters of credit, and the rate in effect was 2.25%. In addition, a fronting fee of 0.25% is charged on outstanding letters of credit. A commitment fee that ranges from 0.375% to 0.50%, depending on a leverage ratio specified in the credit agreement, is charged on any unused capacity of the revolving credit facility.
On January 11, 2013, the credit facility capacity was increased to $385 million and Rose Rock borrowed $133.5 million in connection with the purchase of a 33% interest in SCPL from SemGroup and to pay transaction related expenses. Approximately $1.6 million of related costs have been capitalized and will be amortized over the remaining life of the facility.

LONG-TERM DEBT, Continued

On September 20, 2013, the credit agreement was amended to extend the agreement to September 20, 2018 and permit the increase of the facility by not more than $200 million, subject to certain conditions. The amended agreement allows the Rose Rock to incur unsecured or subordinated debt without limitation, subject to certain conditions, and provides alternative financial performance covenants at Rose Rock's election after the issuance of $200 million or more unsecured or subordinated debt, in aggregate. Additionally, the interest rate and commitment fees related to the revolving facility were lowered.
Rose Rock had $7.6 million of Secured Bilateral Letters of Credit outstanding at September 30, 2013. The interest rate in effect was 1.75% on $0.6 million and 2.0% on $7.0 million. Secured Bilateral Letters of Credit are external to the facility and do not reduce revolver availability.
We recorded $1.9 million and $0.5 million of interest expense related to this facility during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, including amortization of debt issuance costs. We recorded $6.1 million and $1.4 million of interest expense related to this facility during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, including amortization of debt issuance costs.
At September 30, 2013, $3.7 million in capitalized loan fees, net of accumulated amortization, was recorded in other noncurrent assets, which is being amortized over the life of the facility.
At September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the terms of the credit agreement.
SemMexico facilities
During the third quarter, SemMexico renewed a credit agreement that allows SemMexico to borrow up to 56 million Mexican pesos (U.S. $4.3 million at the September 30, 2013 exchange rate) at any time during the term of the facility. The new maturity date of the facility is July 2014. Borrowings are unsecured and bear interest at the bank prime rate in Mexico plus 1.70%. At September 30, 2013, there were no borrowings outstanding on this facility.
On June 13, 2012, SemMexico entered into a credit agreement that allows SemMexico to borrow up to 44 million Mexican pesos (U.S. $3.3 million at the September 30, 2013 exchange rate) at any time during the term of the facility, which matures in June 2015. Borrowings are unsecured and bear interest at the bank prime rate in Mexico plus 2.0%. At September 30, 2013, there were no outstanding borrowings on this facility.
SemMexico also has outstanding letters of credit of 292.8 million Mexican pesos at September 30, 2013 (U.S. $22.3 million at the September 30, 2013 exchange rate). Fees are generally charged on outstanding letters of credit at a rate of 0.5%.
At September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the terms of these facilities.
Capitalized interest
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we capitalized interest from our credit facilities of $2.9 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
Fair value
We estimate the fair value of our senior unsecured notes to be $306 million at September 30, 2013, based on unadjusted, transacted market prices, which is categorized as a Level 1 measurement. We estimate that the fair value of our other long-term debt was not materially different than the recorded values at September 30, 2013. It is our belief that neither the market interest rates nor our credit profile have changed significantly enough to have had a material impact on the fair value of our other debt outstanding at September 30, 2013. This estimate is categorized as a Level 3 measurement.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Bankruptcy matters
On July 22, 2008 (the “Petition Date”), SemGroup, L.P. and certain subsidiaries filed petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Also on July 22, 2008, SemGroup, L.P.'s Canadian subsidiaries filed for creditor protection in Canada. Later during 2008, certain other U.S. subsidiaries filed petitions for reorganization. While in bankruptcy, SemGroup, L.P. filed a plan of reorganization with the court, which was confirmed on October 28, 2009 (the “Plan of Reorganization”). The Plan of Reorganization determined, among other things, how pre-Petition Date

obligations would be settled, the equity structure of the reorganized company upon emergence, and the financing arrangements upon emergence. SemGroup Corporation emerged from bankruptcy protection on November 30, 2009 (the “Emergence Date”).
(a)
Confirmation order appeal
Luke Oil appeal. On October 21, 2009, Luke Oil Company, C&S Oil/Cross Properties, Inc., Wayne Thomas Oil and Gas and William R. Earnhardt Company (collectively, “Luke Oil”) filed an objection to the Plan of Reorganization “to the extent that the Plan of Reorganization may alter, impair, or otherwise adversely affect Luke Oil’s legal rights or other interests.” On October 28, 2009, the bankruptcy court overruled the Luke Oil objection and entered the confirmation order. On November 6, 2009, Luke Oil filed a Notice of Appeal. On December 23, 2009, Luke Oil’s appeal was docketed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. We filed a motion to dismiss the appeal as equitably moot. On May 21, 2012, the District Court entered an order granting our motion to dismiss Luke Oil's appeal of the confirmation order. On June 18, 2012, Luke Oil filed its Notice of Appeal, notifying the District Court and the parties to the lawsuit that it was appealing the decision of the District Court to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. On August 27, 2013, the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit issued an opinion, and on September 18, 2013 issued a judgment, reversing the District Court’s dismissal of the confirmation order and remanding the case to the District Court for consideration on the merits of Luke Oil’s appeal of the confirmation order. On October 1, 2013, at the request of the parties, the District Court entered an order staying the case and referring it to a magistrate judge for mediation. While we believe that this action is without merit and are vigorously defending this matter on appeal, an adverse ruling on this action could have a material adverse impact on us.
(b)
Investigations
Around the time of our predecessor's bankruptcy filings, several governmental agencies launched investigations regarding the circumstances of the filings. The mandate and scope of these investigations were very broad and the investigations are ongoing.
Bankruptcy examiner. On October 14, 2008, the bankruptcy court appointed an examiner to (i) investigate the circumstances surrounding our predecessor's trading strategy prior to bankruptcy filings; (ii) investigate the circumstances surrounding certain insider transactions and the formation of SemGroup Energy Partners L.P. (a former subsidiary); (iii) investigate the circumstances surrounding the potential improper use of borrowed funds and funds generated from operations and the liquidation of assets to satisfy margin calls related to our predecessor's trading strategy and that of certain entities owned or controlled by former officers and directors of the general partner of SemGroup, L.P.; (iv) determine whether any directors, officers or employees of the general partner of SemGroup, L.P. participated in fraud, dishonesty, incompetence, misconduct, mismanagement, or irregularity in the management of our affairs; and (v) determine whether the SemGroup debtor estates have causes of action against current or former officers, directors, or employees of the general partner of SemGroup, L.P. arising from such participation. The examiner’s report was filed with the bankruptcy court on April 15, 2009.
Certain current and prior employees of the general partner of SemGroup, L.P. are referenced in the examiner’s report and the report’s conclusions may suggest possible civil or criminal liability on their part. To the extent such claims exist, they are property of a litigation trust that was established for the benefit of pre-petition creditors pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, and are not property of the reorganized SemGroup Corporation. This litigation trust is pursuing claims against certain former officers, at its own expense. We may incur expenses, which are not expected to be material, related to information and document requests of the litigation trust related to such claims. Any indemnification obligations to such officers by SemGroup, L.P. were discharged under the Plan of Reorganization.
CFTC. On June 19, 2008, we received a request for voluntary production from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”). Subsequent to the bankruptcy filings, the CFTC sent other requests for voluntary production. The CFTC has also served subpoenas upon us requiring us to produce various documents and for the depositions of our representatives. We continue to comply with the CFTC’s requests. We are unaware of any currently pending formal charges against us by the CFTC.

(c)
Claims reconciliation process
A large number of parties have made claims against us for obligations alleged to have been incurred prior to our predecessor's bankruptcy filing. On September 15, 2010, the bankruptcy court entered an order estimating the contingent, unliquidated and disputed claims and authorizing distributions to holders of allowed claims. Pursuant to that order we have begun making distributions to the claimants. We continue to attempt to settle unresolved claims.
Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, we committed to settle authorized and allowed bankruptcy claims by paying a specified amount of cash, issuing a specified number of warrants, and issuing a specified number of shares of SemGroup Corporation common stock. We do not believe the resolution of the remaining outstanding claims will exceed the total amount of consideration established under the Plan of Reorganization for all claimants; instead, the resolution of the remaining claims in some cases will impact the relative share of the established pool of common stock and warrants that certain claimants receive.
However, under certain circumstances we could be required to pay additional funds to settle the specified group of claims to be settled with cash. Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, a specified amount of restricted cash was set aside at the Emergence Date, which we expect to be sufficient to settle this group of claims. Since the Emergence Date, we have made significant progress in resolving these claims, and we continue to believe that the cash set aside at the Emergence Date will be sufficient to settle these claims. However, we have not yet reached a resolution of all of these claims, and if the total settlement amount of all of these claims exceeds the specified amount, we will be required to pay additional funds to satisfy the total settlement amount for this specified group of claims. If this were to become probable of occurring, we would be required to record a liability and a corresponding expense.
Blueknight claim
Blueknight Energy Partners, L.P. (“Blueknight”), which was formerly a subsidiary of SemGroup, together with other entities related to Blueknight, entered into a Shared Services Agreement on April 7, 2009, with SemCrude, L.P., now known as Rose Rock Midstream Crude, L.P. (“SemCrude”) and SemManagement, L.L.C. (which are currently subsidiaries of SemGroup). The services provided by SemCrude to Blueknight under this agreement included assisting Blueknight with movement of crude oil belonging to Blueknight’s customers and with the operation of Blueknight’s Oklahoma pipeline system and its Cushing, Oklahoma terminal. Under the subsequent amendments to the agreements beginning in May 2010, certain of these services were phased out, and Blueknight began to perform all services necessary for the movement of its crude oil and the operation of its Cushing terminal without SemCrude’s assistance.
In a letter dated August 18, 2011, Blueknight claimed that SemCrude owes Blueknight approximately 141,000 barrels of crude oil. We responded to Blueknight’s letter denying their charges and requesting documentation from Blueknight of its claim. On February 14, 2012, after months of interaction between the parties through which Blueknight was requested to substantiate its claim, Blueknight filed suit against SemCrude and other related companies in the District Court of Oklahoma County, Oklahoma. On May 1, 2012, the case was transferred to Tulsa County, Oklahoma. On July 2, 2012, the Tulsa County District Court appointed a Special Master to review terminal operations accounting records and determine whether 141,000 barrels of crude oil owned by Blueknight is missing after three months of operations in April through June, 2010. On June 11, 2013, the Special Master’s Report was filed with the District Court finding a shortage in Blueknight’s Cushing terminal and Oklahoma pipeline system of 148,000 barrels. However, after a review of all records created during that three month time period, the Special Master was unable to determine how the shortage might have occurred and she was unable to determine the ownership of the potential shortage.
We are currently seeking discovery in the District Court of documentation and testimony on the potential cause and the impact, if any, of the shortage found by the Special Master. Blueknight is resisting discovery and has asked for summary judgment against SemCrude and the other defendants for the entire terminal and pipeline system shortage. We will continue to defend our position; however, we cannot predict the outcome.
Environmental
We may from time to time experience leaks of petroleum products from our facilities and, as a result of which, we may incur remediation obligations or property damage claims. In addition, we are subject to numerous environmental

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES, Continued

regulations. Failure to comply with these regulations could result in the assessment of fines or penalties by regulatory authorities.
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (“the KDHE”) initiated discussions during our bankruptcy proceeding regarding six of our sites in Kansas (five owned by Crude and one owned by SemGas) that KDHE believes, based on their historical use, may have soil or groundwater contamination in excess of state standards. KDHE sought our agreement to undertake assessments of these sites to determine whether they are contaminated. We reached an agreement with KDHE on this matter and entered into a Consent Agreement and Final Order with KDHE to conduct environmental assessments on the sites and to pay KDHE’s costs associated with their oversight of this matter. We have conducted Phase II investigations at all sites and results indicate that four of the sites have limited amounts of soil contamination that will require remediation and ground water contamination that may require further delineation and/or ongoing monitoring. Work plans have been submitted to, and approved by, the KDHE. We do not anticipate any penalties or fines for these historical sites.
A water pipeline break occurred at a SemCAMS facility during August 2010. This resulted in a spill of material that was predominantly salt water containing a small amount of hydrocarbons. The incident was investigated by Environment Canada and Alberta Environment. On February 14, 2012, charges were filed against SemCAMS by the Federal Government of Canada (Department of Fisheries) and the Province of Alberta (Alberta Environment) in connection with this incident. SemCAMS and the Federal and Provincial Crowns are discussing a resolution of the charges on specific terms. We expect that the matter will be finally resolved by the end of the year. We accrued a liability for estimated fines and environmental contributions of $0.4 million in December 2010, which we still carry on our books at September 30, 2013.
Other matters
We are party to various other claims, legal actions, and complaints arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of our management, the ultimate resolution of these claims, legal actions and complaints, after consideration of amounts accrued, insurance coverage and other arrangements, will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, the outcome of such matters is inherently uncertain, and estimates of our consolidated liabilities may change materially as circumstances develop.
Asset retirement obligations
We will be required to incur significant removal and restoration costs when we retire our natural gas gathering and processing facilities in Canada. We have recorded an asset retirement obligation liability of $42.1 million at September 30, 2013, which is included within other noncurrent liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. This amount was calculated using the $104.6 million cost we estimate we would incur to retire these facilities, discounted based on our risk-adjusted cost of borrowing and the estimated timing of remediation.
The calculation of the liability for an asset retirement obligation requires the use of significant estimates, including those related to the length of time before the assets will be retired, cost inflation over the assumed life of the assets, actual remediation activities to be required, and the rate at which such obligations should be discounted. Future changes in these estimates could result in material changes in the value of the recorded liability. In addition, future changes in laws or regulations could require us to record additional asset retirement obligations.
Our other segments may also be subject to removal and restoration costs upon retirement of their facilities. However, we are unable to predict when, or if, our pipelines, storage tanks and other facilities would become completely obsolete and require decommissioning. Accordingly, we have not recorded a liability or corresponding asset, as both the amount and timing of such potential future costs are indeterminable.
Purchase and sale commitments
We routinely enter into agreements to purchase and sell petroleum products at specified future dates. We account for derivatives at fair value with the exception of commitments which have been designated as normal purchases and sales for which we do not record assets or liabilities related to these agreements until the product is purchased or sold. At September 30, 2013, such commitments included the following (in thousands):

Many of the commitments shown in the table above are cancellable by either party, as long as notice is given within the time frame specified in the agreement (generally 30 to 120 days).
Our SemGas segment has a take or pay contractual obligation related to the fractionation of natural gas liquids. This obligation began in July 2011 and continues through June 2023, subsequent to the extension of the agreement in the second quarter of 2013. At September 30, 2013, approximately $25.8 thousand was due under the contract and the amount of future obligation is approximately $88.2 million. SemGas also enters into contracts under which we are responsible for marketing the majority of the gas and natural gas liquids produced by the counterparties to the agreements. The majority of SemGas’ revenues were generated from such contracts.

* On January 13, 2013, we contributed a 33% interest in SemCrude Pipeline, L.L.C. to our consolidated subsidiary, Rose Rock. As this transaction was between entities under common control, the interest in SemCrude Pipeline, L.L.C. was recorded by Rose Rock based on SemGroup's book value. This amount represents the purchase price in excess of book value which was attributed to the noncontrolling interest owners of Rose Rock. The entry to additional paid-in capital has been recorded net of tax.

Common stock
Upon emergence from bankruptcy, we issued 40,882,496 shares of common stock. The Plan of Reorganization specified that we were to issue an additional 517,500 shares of common stock in settlement of pre-petition claims. As of September 30, 2013, we have issued 226,016 shares of this stock and will issue the remainder as the process of resolving the claims progresses. The owners’ equity balances on the condensed consolidated balance sheets include the shares that are required to be issued in settlement of pre-petition claims. The shares of common stock reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2013 are summarized below:

(*) These shares include 105,738 shares which vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. Of these vested shares, recipients sold back to the Company 8,591 shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations which are being recognized at cost as treasury stock on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
In addition to the shares in the table above, there are shares of unvested restricted stock outstanding at September 30, 2013. The par value of these shares has not yet been reflected in common stock on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as these shares have not yet vested. There are also shares of restricted stock that were returned to treasury upon forfeiture. The par value of these shares is not reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as no accounting recognition is given to forfeited shares.
The common stock includes Class A and Class B stock. Class A stock is eligible to be listed on an exchange, whereas Class B stock is not. Any share of Class B stock may be converted to Class A at the election of the holder. Both classes of stock have full voting rights. Both classes of stock have a par value of $0.01 per share. The total number of shares authorized for issuance is 90,000,000 shares of Class A stock and 10,000,000 shares of Class B stock.
Equity-based compensation
We have reserved common stock for issuance pursuant to director and employee compensation programs. At September 30, 2013, there were approximately 534,000 unvested shares that have been granted under these programs. The par value of these shares is not reflected in common stock on the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as these shares have not yet vested. Shares of restricted stock awards that were forfeited were returned to treasury. The par value of these shares is not reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheet, as no accounting recognition is given to forfeited shares. For certain of the awards, the number of shares that will vest is contingent upon our achievement of certain specified targets. If we meet the specified maximum targets, approximately 141,000 additional shares could vest. The holders of certain restricted stock awards granted prior to 2013 are entitled to equivalent dividends (“UDs”) to be received upon vesting of the restricted stock awards. The dividends will be settled in common shares based on the market price of our Class A shares as of the close of business on the vesting date. The UDs are subject to the same forfeiture and acceleration conditions as the associated restricted stock awards. At September 30, 2013, the value of the UDs related to unvested restricted stock awards was approximately $78 thousand. This is equivalent to 1,366 Class A shares based on the quarter end close of business market price of our Class A shares of $57.02 per share. Dividends related to the 2013 restricted stock awards will be settled in cash upon vesting.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we have issued 201,451 restricted stock awards with a weighted average grant date fair value of $52.78 per award.
Warrants
Upon emergence from bankruptcy, we issued 1,634,210 warrants. The Plan of Reorganization specified that we were to issue an additional 544,737 warrants in settlement of the pre-petition claims. As of September 30, 2013, we have issued

237,897 of the warrants and will issue the remainder as the process of resolving the claims progresses. The warrants are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol SEMGWS. We classify the warrant fair value as a Level 1 measurement. The warrants reflected on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2013 are summarized below:

(*) During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, certain warrant holders exercised a total of 772,817 warrants resulting in the issuance of 425,618 Class A shares.
Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of common stock for $25 at any time before the November 30, 2014 expiration date. Upon exercise, a holder may elect a cashless exercise, whereby the number of shares to be issued to the holder is reduced, in lieu of a cash payment. In the event of a change in control of the Company, the holders of the warrants would have the right to sell the warrants to us, and we would have the right to purchase the warrants from the holders. In either case, the price to be paid for the warrants would be calculated using a standard pricing model with inputs specified in the warrant agreement.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
As part of the Company's 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May 22, 2013, Company stockholders approved the 2013 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”). The ESPP will be effective October 1, 2013 and will allow Company employees to purchase the Company's Class A stock through payroll deductions based on six month offering periods. Share purchases will be limited to 12,500 shares per offering period per employee-participant. Shares will be able to be purchased by employee-participants at 85% of the Fair Market Value (as defined by the ESPP). Upon the purchase of shares, employee-participants will receive all stockholder rights including dividend and voting rights, and will be permitted to sell their shares at any time. The Company has made 1.0 million shares available under the ESPP. The ESPP terminates on September 30, 2023 or earlier at the discretion of the Board of Directors. No shares are expected to be issued under the ESPP in fiscal year 2013 as the end of the first offering period does not occur until March 31, 2014. The Company expects to begin recording stock based compensation expense related to the ESPP in the fourth quarter for 2013, the start of the first offering period.
Dividends
On May 30, 2013, we paid a dividend of $0.19 per share to shareholders of record on May 20, 2013. On August 30, 2013, we paid a dividend of $0.20 per share to shareholders of record on August 19, 2013.
On November 6, 2013, we declared a dividend of $0.21 per share payable on December 3, 2013 to shareholders of record on November 22, 2013.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings per share is calculated based on income from continuing and discontinued operations less any income attributable to the noncontrolling interest.  Income attributable to noncontrolling interests represents third party limited partner unitholders' interests in the earnings of our consolidated subsidiary, Rose Rock.  Rose Rock allocates net income to its limited partners based on the distributions pertaining to the current period's available cash as defined by Rose Rock's partnership agreement. After adjusting for the appropriate period's distributions, the remaining undistributed earnings or excess distributions over earnings, if any, are allocated to Rose Rock's general partner, limited partners and participating securities in accordance with the contractual terms of Rose Rock's partnership agreement and as further prescribed under the two-class method. Incentive distribution rights do not participate in undistributed earnings.

During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded expenses of $4.8 million and $37.0 million, respectively, related to the change in fair value of the warrants. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recorded expenses of $9.5 million and $17.1 million related to the change in fair value of the warrants. Because the mark to market valuation of the warrants resulted in losses, the warrants would have been antidilutive and, therefore, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share.
As we experienced losses from continuing operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, the equity based compensation (described in Note 10) did not cause any dilution.

Other supplemental disclosures
We recorded a $90.5 million reduction to noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries and an offsetting increase to additional paid-in capital of $56.8 million (net of tax impact of $33.7 million). This non-cash entry represents the portion of the proceeds in excess of historical cost which were attributed to Rose Rock's third-party unitholders related to Rose Rock's purchase of a 33% interest in SCPL (Note 2).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we issued 425,618 Class A units related to the exercise of 772,817 warrants resulting in the non-cash reclassification of $23.5 million from other noncurrent liabilities to common stock and additional paid-in capital. Cash proceeds of $0.2 million were received in connection with the warrant exercises.
We paid cash interest of $7.3 million and $4.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
We paid cash for income taxes (net of refunds received) of $6.6 million and $5.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
We incurred liabilities for construction work in process that had not been paid of $16.4 million and $7.0 million as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Such amounts are not included in capital expenditures on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
At September 30, 2013, we had a non-cash accrual of goodwill of $9.0 million from unpaid invoices which represent purchase price adjustments related to the acquisition of Mid-America Midstream Gas Services, L.L.C. This amount is not included in acquisition of Mid-America Midstream Gas Services, L.L.C. on the consolidated statement of cash flows.

High Sierra Crude Oil and Marketing, LLC
We generated revenues from High Sierra Crude Oil and Marketing, LLC ("High Sierra"), which is a subsidiary of NGL Energy, of $15.7 million and $12.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We generated revenues from High Sierra of $68.6 million and $23.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Purchases from High Sierra were $6.5 million and $16.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Purchases from High Sierra were $34.7 million and $32.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Transactions with High Sierra primarily relate to transportation and marketing of crude oil and condensate. In accordance with ASC 845-10-15, these transactions were reported as revenue on a net basis in our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income as the purchases of inventory and subsequent sales of the inventory were with the same counterparty.
White Cliffs
As described in Note 3, we account for our ownership interest in White Cliffs under the equity method. During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, we generated storage revenue from White Cliffs of approximately $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively. We generated storage revenue from White Cliffs of approximately $2.1 million and $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Glass Mountain
As described in Note 3, in May 2012, we formed a joint venture, Glass Mountain, to construct, maintain and operate a 210-mile crude oil pipeline system originating in Alva and Arnett, Oklahoma and terminating at Cushing, OK. In connection with the pipeline project, Glass Mountain entered into a Pipeline Construction Management Agreement with Glass Mountain Holding, LLC ("GMH"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of SemGroup. The Pipeline Construction Management Agreement appoints GMH as construction manager of the pipeline project for which GMH will receive $0.9 million prorated over the period of construction. For the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2013, Glass Mountain paid $0.1 million and $0.4 million to GMH pursuant to this agreement, the remaining balance of $0.1 million will be received by GMH over the period of construction.
Legal services
The law firm of Conner & Winters, LLP, of which Mark D. Berman is a partner, performs legal services for us. Mr. Berman is the spouse of Candice L. Cheeseman, General Counsel and Secretary. Mr. Berman does not perform any legal services for us. SemGroup paid $0.6 million and $0.5 million in legal fees and related expenses to this law firm during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively (of which $68.0 thousand and $9.9 thousand was paid by White Cliffs during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively). SemGroup paid $1.6 million and $1.2 million in legal fees and related expenses to this law firm during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively (of which $79.6 thousand and $56.1 thousand was paid by White Cliffs during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively).

ACQUISITIONS
Mid-America Midstream Gas Services, L.L.C.
On August 1, 2013, we acquired the equity interest of Mid-America Midstream Gas Services, L.L.C. ("MMGS"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Chesapeake Energy Corporation (NYSE: CHK)("Chesapeake"), which is the owner of gas gathering and processing assets in the Mississippi Lime play for approximately $316.1 million in cash. We incurred

Page 35

Table of Contents
SEMGROUP CORPORATION
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

14.     ACQUISITIONS, Continued

approximately $3.6 million in transaction related general and administrative expenses. The transaction was funded through the combination of a portion of the net proceeds from the sale of the Notes and a borrowing under the revolving credit facility under SemGroup's corporate credit agreement. Highlights of the acquisition include the following:
200 miles of gathering pipeline;
Rose Valley I plant - A 200 mmcf/d (million cubic feet per day) cryogenic processing plant, expected to be in operation in the first quarter of 2014;
Rose Valley II plant - A 200 mmcf/d cryogenic processing plant, expected to be in operation in the first quarter of 2016;
Approximately 540,000 net acre dedication in the core of the Mississippi Lime play, supported by a recently announced joint venture between Chesapeake and Sinopec International Petroleum Exploration and Production Corporation ("Sinopec"); and
A 20-year, 100% fee based, gas gathering and processing agreement with certain affiliates of Chesapeake and Sinopec.
Rose Valley plants I and II will require approximately $125 million of additional capital expenditures for completion as well as additional capital related to future well connections.
We have included MMGS in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of August 1, 2013 in our SemGas segment. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income did not include material amounts of revenue or operating income related to MMGS. The proforma impact to comparative prior year periods, had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the comparative prior year period, is not significant as the business is in the development stage.
We have received a preliminary independent appraisal of the fair value of the assets acquired in the MMGS acquisition. The estimates of fair value reflected as of September 30, 2013 are subject to change and such changes could be material. We currently expect to complete this process prior to filing our Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2013. We have preliminarily estimated the fair value of the assets acquired as follows (in thousands):
Property, plant and equipment
$
123,316

Customer contract intangible
169,244

Goodwill
23,587

Total assets acquired
$
316,147

Goodwill represents the excess of the estimated consideration paid for the acquired business over the fair value of the individual assets acquired. Goodwill primarily represents the value of synergies between the acquired entity and the Company and the opportunity to use the acquired business as a platform for growth. We estimate that all of the goodwill will be deductible for federal income tax purposes and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years.
Barcas Field Services, LLC
On August 1, 2013, our consolidated subsidiary, Rose Rock, executed a definitive agreement to acquire the assets of Barcas Field Services, LLC ("Barcas"), which owns and operates a crude oil trucking fleet for $50.0 million in cash. The transaction closed on September 1, 2013. Highlights of the acquisition include the following:
114 trucks, 120 trailers and miscellaneous equipment; and
a long-term take-or-pay customer transportation agreement.
We have included Barcas in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 1, 2013 in our Crude segment. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, our condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income did not include material amounts of revenue or operating income related to Barcas. The proforma impact to comparative prior year periods, had the acquisition occurred at the beginning of the comparative prior year period, is not significant.
We have received a preliminary independent appraisal of the fair value of the assets acquired in the Barcas acquisition. The estimates of fair value reflected as of September 30, 2013 are subject to change and such changes could be material.

We estimate that all of the goodwill will be deductible for federal income tax purposes and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 15 years.
NGL Energy
On August 6, 2013, we completed the acquisition of approximately 5.36% of the general partner of NGL Energy, which increases our ownership of NGL Energy's general partner to 11.78%.
Goodwill
The above acquisitions accounted for the majority of the change to our goodwill during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as follows (in thousands):

CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING GUARANTOR FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement related to our offering of $300 million of 7.50% senior unsecured notes, as discussed in Note 8, we intend to file a registration statement with the SEC so that holders of the Notes can exchange the Notes and the related guarantees for the Exchange Notes and related guarantees.
Each of the Guarantors is 100% owned by SemGroup Corporation (the "Parent"). Such guarantees of the Notes are full and unconditional and constitute the joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. The guarantees of the Exchange Notes will be full and unconditional and will constitute the joint and several obligations of the Guarantors. There are no significant restrictions upon the ability of the Parent or any of the Guarantors to obtain funds from its respective subsidiaries by dividend or loan. None of the assets of the Guarantors represent restricted net assets pursuant to Rule 4-08(e)(3) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.
Unaudited condensed consolidating financial statements for the Parent, the Guarantors and non-guarantors as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and for each of the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are presented on an equity method basis in the tables below (in thousands).
Intercompany receivable and payable balances, including notes receivable and payable, are capital transactions primarily to facilitate the capital needs of our subsidiaries. As such, subsidiary intercompany balances have been reported as a reduction to equity on the condensed consolidating Guarantor balance sheets. The Parent's net intercompany balance, including note receivable, and investments in subsidiaries have been reported in equity method investments on the condensed consolidating Guarantor balance sheets. Intercompany transactions, such as daily cash management activities, have been reported as financing activities within the condensed consolidating Guarantor statements of cash flows. The Parent's investing activities with subsidiaries, such as the drop down of a 33% interest in SCPL to Rose Rock in the first quarter of 2013 have been reflected as cash flows from investing activities. Quarterly cash distributions from Rose Rock representing a return on capital have been included in the Parent's cash flows from operations. These balances are eliminated through consolidating adjustments below.

Item 2.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements and the notes thereto included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, filed with the SEC.

Overview of Business
We provide gathering, transportation, storage, distribution, marketing and other midstream services primarily to independent producers, refiners of petroleum products and other market participants located in the Midwest and Rocky Mountain regions of the United States of America (the “U.S.”), Canada and the west coast of the United Kingdom (the “U.K.”). We, or our significant equity method investees, have an asset base consisting of pipelines, gathering systems, storage facilities, terminals, processing plants and other distribution assets located in North American production and supply areas, including the Gulf Coast, Midwest, Rocky Mountain and Western Canadian regions. We maintain and operate storage, terminal and marine facilities at Milford Haven in the U.K. that enable customers to supply petroleum products to markets in the Atlantic Basin. We also operate a network of liquid asphalt cement terminals throughout Mexico. Our operations are conducted directly and indirectly through our six primary business segments – Crude, SemStream®, SemCAMS, SemLogistics, SemMexico, and SemGas®.
Our Assets
Our assets include:
a 51% ownership interest (34% directly and 17% indirectly, through our interest in Rose Rock Midstream, L.P. ("Rose Rock")) in White Cliffs Pipeline, L.L.C. ("White Cliffs"), which owns a 527-mile crude oil pipeline running from Platteville, Colorado to Cushing, Oklahoma (the "White Cliffs Pipeline"), that Crude operates;
the 2% general partner interest and a 46.7% limited partner interest in Rose Rock, which owns an approximately 640-mile crude oil pipeline network in Kansas and Oklahoma and a crude oil storage facility in Cushing, Oklahoma with a capacity of 7.25 million barrels and an additional 0.35 million barrels currently under construction, and a 17% ownership interest in White Cliffs;
9.1 million common units of NGL Energy Partners LP (“NGL Energy”) and a 11.78% interest in NGL Energy Holdings LLC, the general partner of NGL Energy;
approximately 1,790 miles of natural gas and NGL transportation, gathering and distribution pipelines in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Alberta, Canada;
8.7 million barrels of owned multi-product storage capacity located in the U.K.;
12 liquid asphalt cement terminals and modification facilities and two emulsion distribution terminals in Mexico;
majority ownership interests in four natural gas processing plants in Alberta, Canada, with combined operating capacity of 694 million cubic feet per day;
three natural gas processing plants in the U.S., with 188 million cubic feet per day of capacity; and
a crude oil trucking fleet of over 130 transport trucks and 150 trailers.
We believe that the variety of our petroleum product assets creates opportunities for us and our customers that avoid seasonal fluctuations of a less diverse business.

Recent Developments
On November 11, 2013, we announced our intent to pursue an agreement with Rose Rock to sell an additional one-third interest in SCPL. Following the proposed transaction, we will directly own a one-third interest in SCPL representing a 17% interest in White Cliffs. The transaction is subject to execution of an agreement between the two parties, review and recommendation by the conflicts committee of the general partner of Rose Rock, and the approval of the two company's boards of directors. The transaction is expected to close by year-end.
On November 6, 2013, we declared a dividend of $0.21 per share payable on December 3, 2013 to shareholders of record on November 22, 2013.

Revenue and Expenses
Revenue and expenses before intercompany eliminations leading to operating income are analyzed by operating segment below.
Interest expense
Interest expense increased in the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $9.1 million from $2.0 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012. Interest expense increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to $16.0 million from $7.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase in interest expense for all periods presented is due to the increase in the outstanding debt balance to $540.1 million at September 30, 2013 from $191.7 million at September 30, 2012. The increase in total outstanding debt is primarily attributable to the issuance of $300 million of 7.5% senior notes in the second quarter of 2013. Also contributing to the increase in total outstanding debt is an increase in the revolver balance at Rose Rock of $85.0 million related to the drop down of a one-third interest in SemCrude Pipeline, LLC in the first quarter of 2013.
Other expense, net
Other expense was $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to other expense of $9.7 million for the same period in 2012. Other expense was $35.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, compared to other expense of $17.1 million for the same period in 2012. Other expense for all periods presented was comprised primarily of losses due to the change in the fair value of our outstanding warrants.
Income tax expense (benefit)
The effective tax rate was 52% and 109% for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and (231)% and 10% for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The rate for the three months ended September 30, 2013 is impacted by a $3.3 million discrete deferred tax benefit resulting from enactment of U.K. tax rate reductions for future periods. Significant items that impacted the effective tax rate for each period, as compared to the U.S.

Page 47

Table of Contents

federal statutory rate of 35%, include earnings in foreign jurisdictions taxed at lower rates, a noncontrolling interest in Rose Rock for which taxes are not provided, warrant expense which is not deductible for tax purposes, and the impact of the valuation allowance or release recorded against our deferred tax assets. Further, the foreign earnings are taxed in foreign jurisdictions as well as in the U.S., since they are disregarded entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Deferred tax liabilities, with the exception of those related to certain long-lived assets, have been considered as a source of future taxable income in establishing the amount of the valuation allowance. These combined factors, and the magnitude of permanent items impacting the tax rate relative to income from continuing operations before income taxes, result in rates that are not comparable between the periods.

Gross product revenue increased in the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $714 million from $566 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in sales volumes to 6.8 million barrels for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from 6.2 million barrels for the same period in 2012, combined with an increase in the average sales price of crude oil to $105 per barrel for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $91 per barrel for the same period in 2012. The increase in volume relates primarily to increased buy/sell and marketing activity as a result of new crude oil production around our assets and directed efforts to maximize the use of those assets.
ASC 845-10-15, “Nonmonetary Transactions,” requires certain transactions – those where inventory is purchased from a customer then resold to the same customer – to be presented in the income statement on a net basis, resulting in a reduction of revenue and costs of products sold by the same amount, but has no effect on operating income (loss). However, changes in the level of such purchase and sale activity between periods can have an effect on the comparison between those periods. Gross

product revenue was reduced by $549 million and $446 million during the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in accordance with ASC 845-10-15.
Service revenue increased in the three months ended September 30, 2013 to $16 million from $11 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, due to the newly acquired trucking fleet and fees on Cushing crude oil storage which averaged 7.25 million barrels in the third quarter of 2013 compared to an average of 7.0 million barrels in the same period of 2012, as well as additional truck unloading and pumpover fees.
Costs of products sold
Costs of products sold increased to $158 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 from $112 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Costs of products sold were reduced by $549 million and $446 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in accordance with ASC 845-10-15. An increase in the volume sold and an increase in the average cost of crude oil per barrel to $103 from $89 per barrel were equally offset by a higher proportion of transactions subject to ASC 845-10-15.
Adjusted gross margin
We view Adjusted gross margin as an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations, as well as our operating performance as compared to that of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods, historical costs basis, capital structure or the impact of fluctuating commodity prices. We define Adjusted gross margin as total revenues minus cost of products sold and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives. Adjusted gross margin allows us to make a meaningful comparison of the operating results between our fee-based activities, which do not involve the purchase or sale of petroleum products, and our fixed-margin and marketing operations, which do. In addition, Adjusted gross margin allows us to make a meaningful comparison of the results of our fixed-margin and marketing operations across different commodity price environments because it measures the spread between the product sales price and costs of products sold.
Because Adjusted gross margin may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
The following table shows the Adjusted gross margin generated by our fee-based services, our fixed-margin transactions and our marketing activities for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):

Operating expense
Operating expense increased to $9 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. Approximately $2.8 million of the increase is attributable to the newly acquired trucking fleet, along with increases in field expense and insurance of approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively. These increases are partially offset by pipeline construction management fees received of approximately $0.5 million.
General and administrative
General and administrative expense decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2013, to $3 million from $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This decrease is primarily due to a reduction in corporate overhead allocations.
Earnings from equity method investment
Crude’s equity method investments are in White Cliffs and Glass Mountain. Earnings from White Cliffs increased in the three months ended September 30, 2013, to $11 million from $10 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012. This increase is due primarily to a 17% increase in the crude oil volume shipped from Platteville, CO to Cushing, OK. The Glass Mountain Pipeline is still under construction.

Gross product revenue increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to $2.0 billion from $1.5 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in sales volumes to 20.3 million barrels for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from 16.4 million barrels for the same period in 2012, and an increase

in the average sales price of crude oil to $97 per barrel for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $94 per barrel for the same period in 2012.
ASC 845-10-15, “Nonmonetary Transactions,” requires certain transactions – those where inventory is purchased from a customer then resold to the same customer – to be presented in the income statement on a net basis, resulting in a reduction of revenue and costs of products sold by the same amount, but has no effect on operating income. However, changes in the level of such purchase and sale activity between periods can have an effect on the comparison between those periods. Gross product revenue was reduced by $1.5 billion and $1.1 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in accordance with ASC 845-10-15.
Service revenue increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to $41 million from $33 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, due to the newly acquired trucking fleet and fees on Cushing crude oil storage as well as additional truck unloading and pumpover fees.
Costs of products sold
Costs of products sold increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to $447 million from $413 million for the same period in 2012. Costs of products sold were reduced by $1.5 billion and $1.1 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, in accordance with ASC 845-10-15. Costs of products sold increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily as a result of an increase in the volume sold and an increase in the average cost of crude oil per barrel to $95 from $93 per barrel for the same period in 2012.

Operating expense increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to $21 million from $18 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Approximately $2.8 million of this increase is attributable to the newly acquired trucking fleet, along with field expense and insurance increases of approximately $0.8 million and $0.5 million, respectively. These increases are partially offset by pipeline construction management fees received and a bad debt recovery of approximately $1.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
General and administrative
General and administrative expense increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to $11 million from $10 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, as a result of increased professional fees and employment costs.
Earnings from equity method investment
Crude’s equity method investments are in White Cliffs and Glass Mountain. Earnings from White Cliffs increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to $32 million from $25 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This increase is due primarily to a 26% increase in the crude oil volume shipped from Platteville, CO to Cushing, OK. The Glass Mountain Pipeline is still under construction.

SemStream
On November 1, 2011, we contributed the primary operating assets of our SemStream segment to NGL Energy. We did not, however, contribute any of the assets or liabilities of SemStream’s Arizona residential business to NGL Energy. On September 12, 2012, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell those assets and liabilities. This sale was subject to approval by the Arizona Corporation Commission and closed on December 31, 2012, after that approval was granted; therefore, 2012 results are reported as discontinued operations. The results of operations shown below for 2013 reflect only corporate overhead allocations, minor adjustments and the earnings from our equity method investment in NGL Energy. We include our share of NGL Energy’s earnings on a one-quarter lag because we do not receive their financial statements in sufficient time to apply the equity method to the current period.
For additional information about NGL Energy's results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013, see the NGL Energy Form 10-Q for such period filed with the SEC.

Three months ended September 30, 2013 versus three months ended September 30, 2012
Revenue
Revenue remained flat at $2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.
High crude oil prices and backwardated market conditions (i.e., prices for future deliveries are lower than current prices) exist today and are forecast to continue through the remainder of 2013. These factors have a negative effect on storage economics. As a result, the demand for storage is depressed and we have experienced difficulty securing contract renewals and replacement of long-term contracts.
We are uncertain when market conditions will improve. However, we believe that geographical imbalances between the production and consumption of crude oil and related refined products will require physical transportation and, as a result, bulk liquid storage must play a key role in the supply chain. This creates a demand for storage which is independent of current crude oil prices, forward price curves and the entire speculative trading environment.
Storage economics have been unfavorable for some time. We will continue to monitor this situation and recognize the possibility that an impairment of the long-lived assets may be required in the near term.
General
In every category of expense, the amounts for the third quarter of 2013 are roughly equivalent to those of the third quarter of 2012. General and administrative expense for 2012 included a credit of approximately $500 thousand related to a reduction of allocated corporate costs as a result of a transfer pricing study in 2012. There was no such adjustment in 2013.

Nine months ended September 30, 2013 versus nine months ended September 30, 2012
Revenue
Revenue decreased by $783 thousand in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Page 53

Table of Contents

The decline in revenue is a result of a decline in storage rates offset, in part, by an increase in the volume of storage leased. In addition, we had product sales of $425 thousand in 2012, but no such sales in 2013. The decline in revenue was offset, in part, by an increase in fees for ancillary terminal services.

Revenue
Revenue in the three months ended September 30, 2013, decreased to $49 million from $54 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This decrease was due primarily to lower flow through expenses and overhead recovery related to turnaround activities of $10.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and foreign exchange loss of $2.2 million. This decrease was offset, in part, by higher flow through expenses related to operating costs of $6.2 million, $1.8 million due to higher volumes processed and maintenance capital recovery fees of $0.8 million.
Operating expense
Operating expense in the three months ended September 30, 2013, decreased to $34 million from $40 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This decrease was due primarily to lower expenses related to turnaround activities of $10.8 million and foreign exchange gain of $1.5 million. This decrease was offset, in part, by higher contract services costs of $2.3 million, operating incentive costs of $1.3 million and higher materials and chemicals costs of $1.1 million.

related to turnaround activities of $33.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively, and foreign exchange loss of $2.5 million. This decrease was offset, in part, by higher flow through expenses related to operating costs of $15.0 million, $3.4 million due to higher volumes processed and maintenance capital recovery fees of $2.6 million.
Operating expense
Operating expense in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, decreased to $116 million from $135 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This decrease was due primarily to lower expenses related to turnaround activities of $33.6 million and foreign exchange gain of $1.7 million. This decrease was offset, in part, by higher contract services costs of $5.9 million, higher power costs of $4.9 million, operating incentive costs of $3.5 million and higher materials and chemicals costs of $1.4 million.

The increase was primarily the result of an increase in sales volumes to 96,050 metric tons for the three months ended September 30, 2013, from 88,125 metric tons for the same period in 2012 offset, in part, by a decrease in the average sale price per metric ton to $670 in 2013 compared to $697 per metric ton in 2012. The increase in volume is a result of a higher demand for value added products, e.g., modified asphalt cement, modified asphalt emulsion and asphalt emulsion. The decrease in average sales price per metric ton is due to an industry-wide drop in asphalt prices in 2013 which are based on Pemex's posted prices for base stock.
Costs of products sold
Costs of products sold remained flat in the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 at $56 million. On a per unit basis, the cost of products sold decreased to $583 per metric ton in the three months ended September 30, 2013, from $633 per metric ton for the same period in 2012.
General and administrative
General and administrative expense increased in the three months ended September 30, 2013, to $3 million from $2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012. Expenses in 2012 included a $600 thousand reduction to allocated corporate costs as a result of a transfer pricing study in 2012. There was no such adjustment in 2013. In addition, incentive compensation is approximately $360 thousand higher in 2013 compared to 2012.

Nine months ended September 30, 2013 versus nine months ended September 30, 2012
Revenue
Revenue decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to $160 million from $193 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily the result of a decrease in sales volume to 229,236 metric tons for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, from 275,932 metric tons for the same period in 2012. In addition, the average sales price per metric ton dropped to $687 in 2013 compared to $692 per metric ton in 2012. The decline in volume is a result of a slowdown in federal government spending on infrastructure projects in Mexico. The decrease in average sales price per metric ton is due to an industry-wide drop in asphalt prices in 2013 which are based on Pemex's posted prices for base stock.
Costs of products sold
Costs of products sold decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to $138 million from $175 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012, and includes an insurance recovery of $685 thousand related to an inventory shrinkage reported in the second quarter of 2012. On a per unit basis, the cost of products sold decreased to $604 per metric ton from $633 per metric ton.
Operating
Operating expense increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to $7 million from $6 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This increase is due primarily to fuel and electricity costs which were approximately $500 thousand higher in 2013 compared to 2012.

Three months ended September 30, 2013 versus three months ended September 30, 2012
Revenue
Revenue increased in the three months ended September 30, 2013, to $66 million from $30 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This increase is the result of higher sales volume (15,989 MMcf versus 8,627 MMcf) and higher sales price per unit ($4.12/Mcf versus $3.46/Mcf). The increase in volume is primarily a result of increased drilling and production in the area served by our gas plants in Hopeton and Nash, Oklahoma and the commissioning of a new 125 MMcf/day processing plant at Hopeton in June 2013.
Costs of products sold
Costs of products sold increased in the three months ended September 30, 2013, to $48 million from $24 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012. This increase is primarily related to higher volume and prices as described above.
Adjusted gross margin
We view Adjusted gross margin as an important performance measure of the core profitability of our operations, as well as our operating performance as compared to that of other companies in our industry, without regard to financing methods, historical costs basis, capital structure or the impact of fluctuating commodity prices. We define Adjusted gross margin as total revenues minus cost of products sold and unrealized gain (loss) on derivatives. Adjusted gross margin allows us to make a

meaningful comparison of the operating results between our fee-based activities, which do not involve the purchase or sale of petroleum products, and our fixed-margin and marketing operations, which do. In addition, Adjusted gross margin allows us to make a meaningful comparison of the results of our fixed-margin and marketing operations across different commodity price environments because it measures the spread between the product sales price and costs of products sold.
Because Adjusted gross margin may be defined differently by other companies in our industry, our definition may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Operating expense
Operating expense increased in the three months ended September 30, 2013, to $5 million from $3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This increase is due primarily to higher outside services, field expenses (which includes materials and supplies, lubricants, water disposal, electricity and fuel), and equipment leases of approximately $1.6 million, $290 thousand and $250 thousand, respectively.
General and administrative
General and administrative expense increased in the three months ended September 30, 2013, to $2 million from $1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012. This increase is due primarily to higher corporate allocations, incentive compensation and insurance of approximately $350 thousand, $130 thousand and $120 thousand, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense increased in the three months ended September 30, 2013, to $5 million from $2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2012. Depreciation increased by approximately $2.1 million between the periods reflecting the addition of approximately $229 million in property, plant and equipment. Amortization expense increased by approximately $1.2 million between the periods due to amortization of the intangible asset related to our twenty year contract with certain affiliates of Chesapeake and Sinopec.
Loss (gain) on disposal of long-lived assets
For the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded a loss on disposal of assets of $679 thousand compared to a negligible gain for the three months ended September 30, 2012. This loss is primarily the result of removal of certain equipment from our Hopeton, Oklahoma plant. This equipment will be relocated to our Sherman, Texas facility in 2014.

Revenue
Revenue increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to $151 million from $89 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This increase is the result of higher sales volume (35,791 MMcf versus 25,197 MMcf) and higher sales price per unit ($4.23/Mcf versus $3.55/Mcf). The increase in volume is primarily a result of increased drilling and production in the area served by our gas plants in Hopeton and Nash, Oklahoma and the commissioning of a new 125 MMcf/day processing plant at Hopeton in June 2013.
Costs of products sold
Costs of products sold increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to $111 million from $71 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This increase is primarily related to higher volume and prices as described above. A fuel cost adjustment in the second quarter of 2013 decreased the costs of products sold by $1.4 million. In addition, a contract adjustment in the first quarter of 2012, increased the costs of products sold by approximately $1.3 million.

Operating expense
Operating expense increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, to $14 million from $9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This increase is due primarily to higher outside services, field expenses (which includes materials and supplies, lubricants, water disposal, electricity and fuel), compressor rental, employee costs, incentive compensation and insurance costs of approximately $1.6 million, $1.4 million, $425 thousand, $400 thousand, $275 thousand and $200 thousand, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
Our principal sources of short-term liquidity are cash generated from operations and borrowings under our revolving credit facilities. The consolidated cash balance on September 30, 2013 (including restricted cash) was approximately $98.9 million. Of this amount, approximately $46.4 million was held in Canada and may be subject to tax if transferred to the United States. Our restricted cash balance of $34.2 million includes $32.4 million which has been set aside for settlement of pre-petition claims. Potential sources of long-term liquidity include debt and equity securities. Our primary cash requirements currently are operating expenses, capital expenditures, our quarterly dividends and quarterly distributions to unitholders of our subsidiary, Rose Rock. In general, we expect to fund:
operating expenses, maintenance capital expenditures and cash distributions through existing cash and cash from operating activities;
expansion capital expenditures and any working capital deficits through cash on hand, borrowings under our revolving credit facilities and the issuance of debt and equity securities; and
debt principal payments through cash from operating activities and refinancings when the credit facilities become due.

Page 59

Table of Contents

Our ability to meet our financing requirements and fund our planned capital expenditures will depend on our future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic conditions in our industry. In addition, we are subject to conditions in the debt and equity markets for any issuances of debt securities and equity securities including limited partner units. There can be no assurance we will be able or willing to access the public or private markets in the future. If we would be unable or unwilling to access those markets, we could be required to restrict future expansion capital expenditures and potential future acquisitions.
We believe our cash from operations and our remaining borrowing capacity allow us to manage our day-to-day cash requirements, distribute our quarterly dividends, distribute the minimum quarterly distribution on Rose Rock's outstanding common units, and meet our capital expenditures commitments for the coming year.

Non-cash expenses decreased $20.9 million to $33.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 from $54.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This decrease is comprised primarily of a $45.7 million increase in deferred tax benefit, which is due to the release of a valuation allowance on our net operating loss carryforward deferred tax assets, a $19.9 million increase in expense on the change in the fair value of warrants due to increasing market prices, a $5.4 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense, a $3.4 million decrease in gain on disposal of long-lived assets and a $1.3 million increase due to net unrealized gain related to our derivative instruments. All other non-cash expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 remained relatively comparable to the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 generated a net increase in operating cash flows of $4.1 million, consisting primarily of an increase of $50.6 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities driven primarily by Crude and SemGas operating activity, an increase of $31.0 million in accounts receivable driven primarily by Crude segment operating activity, an increase of $14.0 million in inventories primarily related to our Crude segment and an increase of $6.9 million in receivables from affiliates.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 generated a net decrease in operating cash flows of $11.3 million, consisting primarily of a decrease of $4.7 million in restricted cash, an increase of

Page 60

$117.0 million in accounts receivable, an increase of $1.8 million in inventories, an increase of $97.6 million in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, a decrease of $5.2 million in payables to affiliates, a decrease of $4.5 million in payables to prepetition creditors, a decrease of $8.4 million in other current assets, a decrease of $2.5 million in other assets, and an increase of $2.9 million in other noncurrent liabilities. Prior year accounts receivable and accounts payable cash flows were largely driven by SemCAMS turnaround activity and commodity pricing.
Investing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we had net cash outflows of $617.2 million from investing activities, due primarily to $131.7 million of capital expenditures, $143.5 million in investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries, and our acquisitions of Mid-America Midstream Gas Services, L.L.C. and Barcas Field Services, LLC of $356.2 million, partially offset by investing cash inflows of $13.1 million in distributions in excess of equity in earnings of affiliates. Year to date capital expenditures primarily relate to Rose Rock's Cushing expansion projects, SemGas' Northern Oklahoma expansion projects and well connects and the Wattenberg Oil Trunkline. Investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries represents investments in Glass Mountain Pipeline, the White Cliffs pipeline expansion project, and our purchase of additional general partner interest in NGL Energy. Distributions in excess of equity earnings represent returns of our investments in White Cliffs and NGL Energy.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had net cash outflows of $131.7 million from investing activities, due primarily to $82.1 million of capital expenditures and $64.0 million in investments in non-consolidated subsidiaries, partially offset by net investing inflows of $10.6 million in distributions in excess of equity in earnings of affiliates.
Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we had net cash inflows of $504.4 million from financing activities, which related to borrowings on long-term debt of $928.5 million and $210.2 million in proceeds from the issuance of Rose Rock limited partner units, partially offset by principal payments of $594.4 million, debt issuance costs of $11.9 million due to issuance of notes and increases to revolver capacity, dividends paid of $16.4 million and distributions to non-controlling interests of $11.5 million. Borrowings on long term debt include $300 million of notes issued related to the recently completed acquisition of Mid-America Midstream Gas Services, L.L.C.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had net cash inflows of $74.8 million from financing activities, substantially all of which related to borrowings on long-term debt of $260.5 million, partially offset by principal payments on long-term debt of $179.0 million.
SemGroup Senior Unsecured Notes
On June 14, 2013, we completed an offering of $300 million of 7.50% senior unsecured notes due 2021 to certain initial purchasers, for resale to qualified institutional buyers. See Footnote 8 of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.
SemGroup Revolving Credit Facility
At September 30, 2013, we had $155 million borrowings outstanding under our $500 million revolving credit facility. In addition, we had $4.5 million in outstanding letters of credit on that date. The maximum letter of credit capacity under this facility is $250 million.
On April 22, 2013, the credit agreement was amended to (i) permit the increase of the facility by up to an additional $300 million subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, (ii) remove the restriction limiting unsecured senior or subordinated indebtedness to $200 million, while establishing certain requirements for obtaining unsecured senior or subordinated indebtedness of $200 million or more and (iii) establish less restrictive leverage covenants.
On May 3, 2013, we elected to increase the credit facility capacity by $200 million, for a total capacity of $500 million. The facility can be increased by an additional $100 million. In connection with the increase, we recorded $2.2 million of capitalized loan fees which will be amortized over the remaining life of the facility.
The credit agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants. At September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the terms of the credit agreement.

Rose Rock Revolving Credit Facility
At September 30, 2013, Rose Rock had $85 million in cash borrowings outstanding under its $385 million revolving credit facility. There were $31.8 million in outstanding letters of credit.
On January 11, 2013, the credit facility capacity was increased to $385 million. On September 20, 2013, the credit agreement was amended to extend the agreement to September 20, 2018 and permit the increase of the facility by not more than $200 million, subject to certain conditions. The amended agreement allows Rose Rock to incur unsecured or subordinated debt without limitation, subject to certain conditions, and provides alternative financial performance covenants at Rose Rock's election after the issuance of $200 million or more unsecured or subordinated debt, in aggregate. Additionally, the interest rate and commitment fees related to the revolving facility were lowered.
Subsequent to the amendment, at Rose Rock's option, amounts borrowed under the credit agreement will bear interest at either the Eurodollar rate or an alternate base rate (“ABR”), plus, in each case, an applicable margin. The applicable margin will range from 1.75% to 3.00% in the case of a Eurodollar rate loan, and from 0.75% to 2.00% in the case of an ABR loan, in each case, based on a leverage ratio specified in the credit agreement. A commitment fee that ranges from 0.375% to 0.50%, depending on a leverage ratio specified in the credit agreement, is charged on any unused capacity of the revolving credit facility.
Additionally, the agreement requires Rose Rock to maintain a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense at the end of any fiscal quarter, for the immediately preceding four quarter period, of 2.50 to 1.00 and a maximum ratio of consolidated net debt to consolidated EBITDA at the end of any fiscal quarter, for the immediately preceding four quarter period, of 5.00 to 1.00 (or 5.50 to 1.00 during a temporary period from the date of funding of the purchase price of certain acquisitions (as described in the credit facility) until the last day of the third fiscal quarter following such acquisitions).
Upon the initial incurrence of at least $200 million of unsecured debt, Rose Rock will have a one-time option to elect to comply with the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense and the ratio of consolidated net debt to consolidated EBITDA as detailed above or the following alternative covenants:
a minimum ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated cash interest expense at the end of any fiscal quarter, for the immediately preceding four quarter period, of 2.50 to 1.00;
a maximum ratio of consolidated net debt to consolidated EBITDA at the end of any fiscal quarter, for the immediately preceding four quarter period, of 5.50 to 1.00;
and a maximum ratio of senior secured debt to consolidated EBITDA of 3.50 to 1.00.
The credit facility includes a $75 million sub-limit for the issuance of letters of credit. The credit agreement includes customary affirmative and negative covenants and also restricts Rose Rock’s ability to make certain types of payments including cash distributions to unitholders, however, Rose Rock may make those distributions unless Rose Rock is in default under the credit agreement or the distribution could result in a default. At September 30, 2013, Rose Rock was in compliance with the terms of the credit agreement.
SemMexico Credit Facilities
At September 30, 2013, we had no borrowings outstanding under a 56 million Mexican pesos (U.S. $4.3 million at the September 30, 2013 exchange rate) SemMexico credit facility. During the third quarter, the facility was renewed and has a maturity date of July 2014. In addition, SemMexico also had 292.8 million Mexican pesos (U.S. $22.3 million at the September 30, 2013 exchange rate) in outstanding letters of credit. SemMexico had no outstanding borrowings under a 44 million Mexican pesos (U.S. $3.3 million at the September 30, 2013 exchange rate) credit facility which matures in June 2015. At September 30, 2013, we were in compliance with the terms of these facilities.

The midstream energy business can be capital intensive, requiring significant investment for the maintenance of existing assets or acquisition or development of new systems and facilities. We categorize our capital expenditures as either:
expansion capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures incurred for acquisitions or capital improvements that we expect will increase our operating income or operating capacity over the long-term; or
maintenance capital expenditures, which are cash expenditures (including expenditures for the addition or improvement to, or the replacement of, our capital assets or for the acquisition of existing, or the construction or development of new, capital assets) made to maintain our long-term operating income or operating capacity.
We estimate that the capital expenditures for 2013 will be approximately $825 million (including amounts related to the recently completed acquisitions of Mid-America Midstream Gas Services, L.L.C. and Barcas Field Services, LLC), consisting of an estimated $795 million for strategic projects and $30 million for maintenance and regulatory projects. Projected capital spending for 2013 also includes investments in Glass Mountain and White Cliffs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we spent $132 million (cash basis) on capital projects, excluding capital contributions to affiliates for funding growth projects.
In addition to our budgeted capital program, we anticipate that we will continue to make significant expansion capital expenditures in the future. Consequently, our ability to develop and maintain sources of funds to meet our capital requirements is critical to our ability to meet our growth objectives. We expect that our future expansion capital expenditures will be funded by cash from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities and the issuance of debt and equity securities.

Credit Risk
We are subject to risks of loss resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our customers. We examine the creditworthiness of third party customers to whom we extend credit and manage our exposure to credit risk through credit analysis, credit approval, credit limits and monitoring procedures, and for certain transactions, we may request letters of credit, prepayments or guarantees.
Customer Concentration
Shell Trading (US) Company accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2013, at approximately 13%. Shell Trading (US) Company and Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 at approximately 10% each. Although we have contracts with customers of varying durations, if one or more of our major customers were to default on their contract, or if we were unable to renew our contract with one or more of these customers on favorable terms, we might not be able to replace any of these customers in a timely fashion, on favorable terms or at all. In any of these situations, our revenues and our ability to pay cash dividends to our stockholders may be adversely affected. We expect our exposure to risk of non-payment or non-performance to continue as long as we remain substantially dependent on a relatively small number of customers for a substantial portion of our Adjusted gross margin.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have no off-balance sheet arrangements as defined by Item 303 of Regulation S-K.
Commitments
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of our business from those previously disclosed in Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, although the value of product purchase commitments is less at September 30, 2013 than it was at September 30, 2012.
We routinely enter into agreements to purchase and sell petroleum products at specified future dates. We establish a margin for these purchases by entering into various types of physical and financial sale and exchange transactions through which we seek to maintain a position that is substantially balanced between purchases on the one hand and sales and future delivery obligations on the other. We account for derivatives at fair value with the exception of commitments which have been designated as normal purchases and sales for which we do not record assets or liabilities related to these agreements until the product is purchased or sold. At September 30, 2013, such commitments included the following (volumes and dollars in thousands):

Certain of the commitments shown in the table above relate to agreements to purchase product from a counterparty and to sell a similar amount of product (in a different location) to the same counterparty. Many of the commitments shown in the table above are cancellable by either party, as long as notice is given within the time frame specified in the agreement (generally 30 to 120 days).
Our SemGas segment has a take or pay contractual obligation related to the fractionation of natural gas liquids. This obligation began in July 2011 and continues through June 2023, subsequent to the extension of the agreement in the second quarter of 2013. On September 30, 2013, approximately $25.8 thousand was due under the contract and the amount of future obligation is approximately $88.2 million. In addition, our SemGas segment enters into contracts under which we are responsible for marketing the majority of the gas and natural gas liquids produced by the counterparties to the agreements. During the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the majority of SemGas’ revenues were generated from such contracts.

In addition, we have received preliminary independent appraisals of the assets acquired in the MMGS and Barcas acquisitions. The estimates of fair value recorded as of September 30, 2013, are subject to change and such changes could be material. We expect to complete this process prior to filing our Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2013.

Item 3.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
This discussion on market risks represents an estimate of possible changes in future earnings that would occur assuming hypothetical future movements in commodity prices, interest rates and currency exchange rates. Our views on market risk are not necessarily indicative of actual results that may occur, and do not represent the maximum possible gains and losses that may occur since actual gains and losses will differ from those estimated based on actual fluctuations in commodity prices, interest rates, currency exchange rates and the timing of transactions.
We are exposed to various market risks, including changes in (i) petroleum prices, particularly natural gas liquids, crude oil and natural gas, (ii) interest rates and (iii) currency exchange rates. We may utilize from time-to-time various derivative instruments to manage such exposure. Our risk management policies and procedures are designed to monitor physical and financial commodity positions and the resulting outright commodity price risk as well as basis risk resulting from differences in commodity grades, purchase and sales locations and purchase and sale timing. We have a risk management function that has responsibility and authority for our Comprehensive Risk Management Policy, which governs our enterprise-wide risks, including the market risks discussed in this item. Subject to our Comprehensive Risk Management Policy, our finance and treasury function has responsibility and authority for managing exposure to interest rates and currency exchange rates. To manage the risks discussed above, we engage in price risk management activities.

Revenue from our asset-based activities is dependent on throughput volume, tariff rates, the level of fees generated from our pipeline systems, capacity leased to third parties, capacity that we use for our own operational or marketing activities and the level of other fees generated at our terminalling and storage facilities. Profit from our marketing activities is dependent on

Page 66

Table of Contents

our ability to sell petroleum products at prices in excess of our aggregate cost. Margins may be affected during transitional periods between a backwardated market (when the prices for future deliveries are lower than the current prices) and a contango market (when the prices for future deliveries are higher than the current prices). Our petroleum product marketing activities within each of our segments are generally not directly affected by the absolute level of petroleum product prices, but are affected by overall levels of supply and demand for petroleum products and relative fluctuations in market-related indices.
However, the SemGas segment has exposure to commodity price risk because of the nature of certain contracts for which our fee is based on a percentage of proceeds or index related to the prices of natural gas, natural gas liquids and condensate. Given current volumes, liquid recoveries and contract terms, we estimate the following sensitivities over the next twelve months:
A $0.10 change in natural gas price results in approximately a $385 thousand impact to Adjusted gross margin.
A $0.10 change in natural gas liquids prices (Conway and Mont Belvieu) results in approximately a $2.7 million impact to Adjusted gross margin.
A $10.00 change in condensate price results in approximately a $3.4 million impact to Adjusted gross margin.
Additionally, based on our open derivative contracts at September 30, 2013, an increase in the applicable market price or prices for each derivative contract would result in a decrease in our crude oil sales revenues. Likewise, a decrease in the applicable market price or prices for each derivative contract would result in an increase in our crude oil sales revenues. However, the increases or decreases in crude oil sales revenues we recognize from our open derivative contracts are substantially offset by higher or lower crude oil sales revenues when the physical sale of the product occurs. These contracts may be for the purchase or sale of crude oil or in markets different from the physical markets in which we are attempting to hedge our exposure, or may have timing differences relative to the physical markets. As a result of these factors, our hedges may not eliminate all price risks.
The notional volumes and fair value of our commodity derivatives open positions as well as the change in fair value that would be expected from a 10% market price increase or decrease is shown in the table below (in thousands):

Margin deposits or other credit support, including letters of credit, are generally required on derivative instruments utilized to manage our price exposure. As commodity prices increase or decrease, the fair value of our derivative instruments changes, thereby increasing or decreasing our margin deposit or other credit support requirements. Although a component of our risk-management strategy is intended to manage the margin and other credit support requirements on our derivative instruments, volatile spot and forward commodity prices, or an expectation of increased commodity price volatility, could increase the cash needed to manage our commodity price exposure and thereby increase our liquidity requirements. This may limit amounts available to us through borrowing, decrease the volume of petroleum products we purchase and sell or limit our commodity price management activities.
Interest Rate Risk
We utilize variable rate debt and are exposed to market risk due to the floating interest rates on our credit facilities. Therefore, from time-to-time we may utilize interest rate derivatives to manage interest obligations on specific debt issuances. Our variable rate debt bears interest at LIBOR or prime, subject to certain floors, plus the applicable margin. At September 30, 2013, an increase in these base rates of 1%, above the base rate floors, would increase our interest expense by $2.4 million per year.
The average interest rates presented below are based upon rates in effect at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. The carrying value of the variable rate instruments in our credit facilities approximate fair value primarily because our rates fluctuate with prevailing market rates.

Currency Exchange Risk
The cash flows relating to our U.K., Canada and Mexico operations are based on the U.S. dollar equivalent of such amounts measured in British pounds, Canadian dollars and Mexican pesos. Assets and liabilities of our U.K., Canadian and Mexican subsidiaries are translated to U.S. dollars using the applicable exchange rate as of the end of a reporting period. Revenue, expenses and cash flows are generally translated using the average exchange rate during the reporting period.
A 10% change in the average exchange rate during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, would change operating income by $1.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively.

Warrant Exercises
Pursuant to our Plan of Reorganization, in 2009 we issued warrants to purchase shares of our Class A Common Stock, or at the election of the warrantholder, shares of our Class B Common Stock, to certain of our pre-petition creditors. For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, two holders exercised warrants to purchase an aggregate of 10,010 shares of our Class A Common Stock. Both of the holders elected to satisfy their obligation to pay the exercise price through "cashless exercise," whereby the number of shares to be issued to the holder is reduced, in lieu of a cash payment for the exercise price. Accordingly, 5,551 shares of our Class A Common Stock were issued pursuant to such exercises. Such issuances were exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act pursuant to Section 1145 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
