NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (the "Partnership") is a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership that owns and operates a logistics business, consisting of crude oil, refined products and natural gas liquids ("NGL") pipelines, terminalling and storage assets, and crude oil, refined products and NGL acquisition and marketing assets. The Partnership conducts its business activities in 35 states located throughout the United States.

The consolidated financial statements reflect the results of the Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, including Sunoco Logistics Partners Operations L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), the proportionate shares of the Partnership's undivided interests in assets, and the accounts of entities in which the Partnership has a controlling financial interest. A controlling financial interest is evidenced by either a voting interest greater than 50 percent or a risk and rewards model that identifies the Partnership or one of its subsidiaries as the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. At June 30, 2015, the Partnership held a controlling financial interest in Inland Corporation ("Inland"), Mid-Valley Pipeline Company ("Mid-Valley"), and Price River Terminal, LLC ("PRT"), and as such, these entities are reflected as consolidated subsidiaries of the Partnership. In January 2015, the Partnership acquired the outstanding noncontrolling interest in the West Texas Gulf Pipe Line Company ("West Texas Gulf"), which resulted in West Texas Gulf becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Partnership. The Partnership is not the primary beneficiary of any variable interest entities ("VIEs"). All significant intercompany accounts and transactions are eliminated in consolidation, and noncontrolling interests in net income and equity are shown separately in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and equity. Equity ownership interests in corporate joint ventures in which the Partnership does not have a controlling financial interest, but over which the Partnership can exercise significant influence, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting.

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") codified guidance related to the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. The new guidance outlines the core principle that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The Partnership is currently assessing the impact, if any, that adoption of new guidance will have on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting. They do not include all disclosures normally made in annual financial statements contained in Form 10-K. The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2014 has been derived from the Partnership's audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014. In management's opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods shown have been made. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Partnership expects the interim increase in the quantity of crude oil inventory to decline by year end and therefore has adjusted its interim LIFO calculation to produce a reasonable matching of the most recently incurred costs with current revenues. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year 2015.

Certain amounts in the prior year condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current-year presentation.

2. Changes in Business and Other Matters

In July 2015, the Partnership announced its agreement with Energy Transfer Partners, L.P. ("ETP") and Phillips 66 to participate in the Bayou Bridge pipeline project. The project currently consists of newly constructed pipeline that will deliver crude oil from SXL and Phillips 66 terminals in Nederland, Texas, to Lake Charles, Louisiana. Commercial operations are expected to begin in the first quarter 2016.

The Partnership will be the operator of the pipeline and will maintain a 30 percent interest in the project. The Partnership will fund its proportionate share of the cost of the project, which will be accounted for as an equity method investment within the Partnership’s Crude Oil Pipeline segment.

In the second quarter 2014, the Partnership entered into a joint agreement for 49 percent economic and voting interest in Bayview Refining Company, LLC ("Bayview"). Bayview will construct and operate a facility to process crude oil into intermediate petroleum products and will be accounted for as a variable interest entity for which the Partnership is not the primary beneficiary. Through June 30, 2015, the joint owners have made contributions to fund construction totaling $50 million. The facility is expected to be fully operational in the second half of 2015. The Partnership's investment in Bayview is reflected as an equity method investment within the Crude Oil Acquisition and Marketing segment.

In connection with the formation of Bayview, the joint owners agreed to guarantee the obligations of the entity with respect to certain third-party operating agreements over a ten-year term. The fair value of the liability recognized in connection with the guarantee was not material in relation to the Partnership’s financial position at June 30, 2015.

In the first quarter 2014, the Partnership exercised its rights to acquire an additional ownership interest in Explorer Pipeline Company ("Explorer") from Chevron Pipe Line Company for $42 million, increasing the Partnership's ownership interest from 9.4 to 13.3 percent. Explorer owns approximately 1,850 miles of refined products pipelines running from the Gulf Coast of the United States to the Chicago, Illinois area. The fair value of the investment was estimated based on the fair value of the consideration transferred. The investment continues to be accounted for as an equity method investment within the Partnership's Products Pipelines segment, with the equity income recorded based on the Partnership's ownership percentage for each period presented.

No pro forma information has been presented, as the impact of these investments was not material to the Partnership's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

3. Acquisitions

In December 2014, the Partnership acquired an additional 28.3 percent ownership interest in West Texas Gulf from Chevron Pipe Line Company, increasing its controlling financial interest to 88.6 percent. As this transaction represented the acquisition of ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary, the $325 million purchase price resulted in the reduction of noncontrolling interest and partners’ equity of $66 and $259 million, respectively, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance. In January 2015, the Partnership acquired the remaining noncontrolling interest in West Texas Gulf from the Southwest Pipeline Holding Company for $131 million. The acquisition of the remaining ownership interest reduced noncontrolling interest and partners’ equity by $26 and $105 million, respectively, in the first quarter 2015.

In the second quarter 2014, the Partnership acquired a crude oil purchasing and marketing business from EDF Trading North America, LLC ("EDF"). The purchase consisted of a crude oil acquisition and marketing business and related assets for approximately 20 thousand barrels per day. The acquisition also included a promissory note that was convertible to an equity interest in a rail facility (see below). The acquisition is included in the Crude Oil Acquisition and Marketing segment.

Also in the second quarter 2014, the Partnership acquired a 55 percent economic and voting interest in Price River Terminal, LLC ("PRT"), a rail facility in Wellington, Utah. As the Partnership acquired a controlling financial interest in PRT, the entity is reflected as a consolidated subsidiary of the Partnership from the acquisition date and is included in the Crude Oil Acquisition and Marketing segment. The terms of the acquisition provide PRT’s noncontrolling interest holders the option to sell their interests to the Partnership at a price defined in the agreement. As a result, the noncontrolling interests attributable to PRT are excluded from total equity and are instead reflected as a redeemable interests in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The $65 million purchase price for these acquisitions (net of cash received) consisted primarily of net working capital largely attributable to inventory ($22 million), properties, plants and equipment ($14 million), and intangible assets ($28 million). These fair value allocations also resulted in an increase to goodwill ($13 million) and redeemable noncontrolling interests ($15 million).

No pro forma information has been presented, as the impact of these acquisitions was not material in relation to the Partnership's consolidated financial position or results of operations.

4. Related Party Transactions

The Partnership is a consolidated subsidiary of ETP. ETP and one of its affiliates own Sunoco Partners LLC, the Partnership's general partner, and a 26.5 percent limited partner interest in the Partnership. The Partnership has various operating and administrative agreements with ETP and its affiliates, which include the agreements described below.

Administrative Services

The Partnership has no employees. The operations of the Partnership are carried out by employees of the general partner. The Partnership reimburses the general partner and its affiliates for certain costs and direct expenses incurred on the Partnership's behalf. These costs may be increased if the acquisition or construction of new businesses or assets requires an increase in the level of services received by the Partnership.

The Partnership pays ETP and its affiliates an annual administrative fee for expenses incurred by ETP and its affiliates to perform certain centralized corporate functions, such as legal, accounting, information technology, insurance, and other corporate services, including the administration of employee benefit plans. This fee does not include the salaries or wages of employees of the general partner, or the cost of employee benefits.

The Partnership's share of allocated ETP employee benefit plan expenses, including non-contributory defined benefit retirement plans, defined contribution 401(k) plans, employee and retiree medical, dental and life insurance plans, incentive compensation plans and other such benefits are reflected in operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Affiliated Revenues and Accounts Receivable, Affiliated Companies

The Partnership is party to various agreements with ETP and its affiliates to supply crude oil, refined products and NGLs, as well as to provide pipeline and terminalling services. The revenues associated with these activities are reflected as affiliated revenues in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

The Partnership's note receivable in connection with its interest in Bayview (Note 2) is reflected in long-term note receivable, affiliated companies, in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Capital Contributions

Contributions were previously required for the general partner to maintain its two percent general partner interest. In July 2014, the Partnership agreement was amended to remove the obligation of the general partner to make capital contributions upon the issuance of limited partner units to retain a two percent interest. No capital contributions have been made by the general partner subsequent to the Partnership agreement modification.

In connection with the acquisition of the Marcus Hook Facility in the second quarter 2013, the Partnership will be reimbursed $40 million by an affiliate of ETP for certain operating expenses of the facility through March 31, 2017. The reimbursement proceeds are reflected as contributions to equity within the condensed consolidated statements of equity.

5. Net Income Attributable to Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. per Limited Partner Unit

The general partner's interest in net income attributable to SXL consists of its approximate two percent general partner interest and "incentive distributions," which are increasing percentages of up to 50 percent of quarterly distributions in excess of $0.0833 per common unit (Note 12). The general partner was allocated net income attributable to SXL of $71 and $44 million (representing 26 and 28 percent of total net income attributable to SXL) for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The general partner was allocated net income attributable to SXL of $131 and $82 million (representing 42 and 31 percent of total net income attributable to SXL) for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Diluted net income attributable to SXL per limited partner unit is calculated by dividing the limited partners' interest in net income attributable to SXL by the sum of the weighted average number of common units outstanding and the dilutive effect of unvested incentive unit awards (Note 13).

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the weighted average number of limited partner units used to compute basic net income attributable to SXL per limited partner unit to those used to compute diluted net income attributable to SXL per limited partner unit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:



	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015	2014	2015	2014
	(in millions)		(in millions)
Weighted average number of units outstanding, basic	246.7	208.4	238.9	208.2
Add effect of dilutive incentive awards	0.8	1.2	0.9	1.1
Weighted average number of units, diluted	247.5	209.6	239.8	209.3

6. Inventories

The components of inventories are as follows:



	June 30, 2015		December 31, 2014
	(in millions)
Crude oil	$	599	$	364
Refined products and NGLs	115		90
Refined products additives	2		4
Materials, supplies and other	14		12
Total Inventories	$	730	$	470

In the fourth quarter 2014, the Partnership established lower of cost or market ("LCM") reserves of $231 and $27 million, respectively, on its crude oil and products inventories as a result of declining commodity prices. At June 30, 2015, the LCM reserves amounted to $194 and $5 million, respectively, on the Partnership's crude oil and products inventories.

7. Intangible Assets

The components of intangible assets are as follows:



	Weighted Average Amortization Period	June 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
	(in years)	(in millions)
Gross
Customer relationships	18	$	836		$	836
Technology	10	47			47
Total gross		883			883
Accumulated amortization
Customer relationships		(126		)	(102		)
Technology		(13		)	(11		)
Total accumulated amortization		(139		)	(113		)
Total Net		$	744		$	770

In connection with the EDF acquisition in the second quarter 2014, the Partnership recognized intangible assets related to customer relationships. The customer relationship intangible assets represent the estimated economic value associated with certain relationships acquired in connection with the business combination whereby (i) the Partnership acquired information about or access to customers, (ii) the customers now have the ability to transact business with the Partnership and (iii) the Partnership is uniquely positioned to provide products or services to the customers. The customer relationship intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their respective economic lives.

Amortization expense was $13 and $12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $26 and $25 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Partnership forecasts annual amortization expense of $52 million in 2015 and approximately $51 million of annual amortization expense for each year thereafter, through 2019, for these intangible assets.

Intangible assets associated with rights of way are included in properties, plants and equipment in the Partnership's condensed consolidated balance sheets.

8. Income Taxes

The Partnership is not a taxable entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or for the majority of states that impose income taxes. Rather, income taxes are generally assessed at the partner level. There are some states in which the Partnership operates where it is subject to state and local income taxes. Substantially all of the income tax amounts reflected in the Partnership's condensed consolidated financial statements are related to the operations of Inland, Mid-Valley and West Texas Gulf, all of which are entities subject to income taxes for federal and state purposes at the corporate level. The effective tax rates for these entities approximate the federal statutory rate of 35 percent.

In taxable jurisdictions, the Partnership records deferred income taxes on all significant temporary differences between the book basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. The net deferred tax liabilities reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets are derived principally from the differences in the book and tax bases of properties, plants and equipment of Inland, Mid-Valley and West Texas Gulf.

9. Debt

⁽¹⁾	The 6.125 percent Senior Notes were classified as long-term debt at June 30, 2015 as the Partnership has the ability and intent to refinance such borrowings on a long-term basis.

Credit Facilities

In March 2015, the Operating Partnership amended and restated its $1.50 billion Credit Facility, which was scheduled to mature in November 2018. The amended and restated credit facility is a $2.50 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement (the "$2.50 billion Credit Facility"), which matures in March 2020, that will continue to fund the Partnership's working capital requirements, finance acquisitions and capital projects, and be used for general partnership purposes. The $2.50 billion Credit Facility contains an "accordion" feature, under which the total aggregate commitment may be extended to $3.25 billion under certain conditions. In June 2015, the $2.5 billion Credit Facility was amended to create a segregated tranche of borrowings that will be guaranteed by ETP. The amendment did not modify the outstanding borrowings, total capacity or terms of the facility. The facility bears interest at LIBOR or the Base Rate (as defined in the facility), each plus an applicable margin. The credit facility may be repaid at any time. Outstanding borrowings under this credit facility were $550 and $150 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

The $2.50 billion Credit Facility contains various covenants including limitations on the creation of indebtedness and liens, and related to the operation and conduct of the business of the Partnership and its subsidiaries. The credit facility also limits the Partnership, on a rolling four quarter basis, to a maximum total consolidated debt to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA ratio, as defined in the underlying credit agreement, of 5.0 to 1, which can generally be increased to 5.5 to 1 during an acquisition period. The Partnership's ratio of total consolidated debt, excluding net unamortized fair value adjustments, to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was 3.3 to 1 at June 30, 2015, as calculated in accordance with the credit agreement.

The West Texas Gulf $35 million revolving credit facility matured in April 2015 and was repaid with borrowings from the $2.50 billion Credit Facility.

Senior Notes

In April 2014, the Operating Partnership issued $300 million of 4.25 percent Senior Notes and $700 million of 5.30 percent Senior Notes (the "2024 and 2044 Senior Notes"), due April 2024 and April 2044 respectively. The terms and conditions of the 2024 and 2044 Senior Notes are comparable to those of the Operating Partnership's other outstanding senior notes. The net proceeds from these offerings were used to repay outstanding credit facility borrowings and for general partnership purposes.

10. Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Partnership is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws which regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise relate to the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations can result in liabilities and loss contingencies for remediation at the Partnership's facilities and at third-party or formerly owned sites. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were accrued liabilities for environmental remediation in the condensed consolidated balance sheets of $8 and $14 million, respectively. The accrued liabilities for environmental remediation do not include any amounts attributable to unasserted claims, since there are no unasserted claims that are probable of settlement or are reasonably estimable, nor have any recoveries from insurance been assumed. Charges against income for environmental remediation totaled $2 and $3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $5 and $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. The Partnership maintains insurance programs that cover certain of its existing or potential environmental liabilities. Claims for recovery of environmental liabilities and previous expenditures that are probable of realization were not material in relation to the Partnership's consolidated financial position at June 30, 2015.

Total future costs for environmental remediation activities will depend upon, among other things, the identification of any additional sites; the determination of the extent of the contamination at each site; the timing and nature of required remedial actions; the technology available and needed to meet the various existing legal requirements; the nature and extent of future environmental laws, inflation rates and the determination of the Partnership's liability at multi-party sites, if any, in light of uncertainties with respect to joint and several liability; and the number, participation levels and financial viability of other parties. Management believes it is reasonably possible that additional environmental remediation losses will be incurred. At June 30, 2015, the aggregate of the estimated maximum additional reasonably possible losses, which relate to numerous individual sites, totaled $8 million.

The Partnership is a party to certain pending and threatened claims. Although the ultimate outcome of these claims cannot be ascertained at this time, nor can a range of reasonably possible losses be determined, it is reasonably possible that some portion of them could be resolved unfavorably for the Partnership. Management does not believe that any liabilities which may arise from such claims or the environmental matters discussed above would be material in relation to the Partnership's financial position, results of operations or cash flows at June 30, 2015. Furthermore, management does not believe that the overall costs for such matters will have a material impact, over an extended period of time, on the Partnership's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Sunoco, Inc. ("Sunoco") has indemnified the Partnership for 30 years for environmental and toxic tort liabilities related to the assets contributed to the Partnership, that arose from the operation of such assets prior to the closing of the February 2002 initial public offering ("IPO"). Sunoco has also indemnified the Partnership for 100 percent of all losses asserted within the first 21 years after the closing of the IPO. Sunoco's share of the liability for claims asserted thereafter will decrease by 10 percent per year. For example, for a claim asserted during the twenty-third year after the closing of the IPO, Sunoco would be required to indemnify the Partnership for 80 percent of its loss. There is no monetary cap on the amount of indemnity coverage provided by Sunoco. The Partnership has agreed to indemnify Sunoco for events and conditions associated with the operation of the Partnership's assets that occur on or after the closing of the IPO and for environmental and toxic tort liabilities to the extent that Sunoco is not required to indemnify the Partnership.

Management of the Partnership does not believe that any liabilities which may arise from claims indemnified by Sunoco would be material in relation to the Partnership's financial position, results of operations or cash flows at June 30, 2015. There are certain other pending legal proceedings related to matters arising after the IPO that are not indemnified by Sunoco. Management believes that any liabilities that may arise from these legal proceedings will not be material in relation to the Partnership's financial position, results of operations or cash flows at June 30, 2015.

11. Equity

The changes in the number of units outstanding from January 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 are as follows:



		Common Units
		(in millions)
Balance at January 1, 2014		207.7
Units issued in public offering		7.7
Units issued under ATM program		10.3
Units issued under incentive plans		0.4
Balance at December 31, 2014		226.1
Units issued in public offering		15.5
Units issued under ATM program		9.6
Units issued under incentive plans		0.3
Balance at June 30, 2015		251.5

On June 12, 2014, the Partnership completed a two-for-one split of its common units. The unit split resulted in the issuance of one additional common unit for every one common unit owned. All unit and per unit information included in this report are presented on a post-split basis.

In the first quarter 2014, the Partnership filed a registration statement and established a $250 million ATM program. The program allows the Partnership to issue common units directly to the public and raise capital in a timely and efficient manner to finance its growth capital program, while supporting the Partnership's investment grade credit ratings. In the third quarter 2014, the Partnership filed a registration statement which allows for issuance of an additional $1.0 billion of common units under the ATM program. In 2014, the Partnership issued 10.3 million common units under the ATM program for net proceeds of $477 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Partnership issued 6.2 and 9.6 million common units under this program, for net proceeds of $242 and $384 million, respectively.

In March 2015, the Partnership completed an overnight public offering of 13.5 million common units for net proceeds of $547 million. The net proceeds from this offering were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Partnership's revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes. In April 2015, an additional 2.0 million common units were issued for net proceeds of $82 million related to the exercise of an option in connection with the March 2015 offering.

12. Cash Distributions

Within 45 days after the end of each quarter, the Partnership distributes all cash on hand at the end of the quarter, less reserves established by the general partner at its discretion. This is defined as "available cash" in the partnership agreement. The general partner has broad discretion to establish cash reserves that it determines are necessary or appropriate to properly conduct the Partnership's business. The Partnership will make quarterly distributions to the extent there is sufficient cash from operations after the establishment of cash reserves and the payment of fees and expenses, including payments to the general partner.

If cash distributions exceed $0.0833 per unit in a quarter, the general partner will receive increasing percentages, up to 50 percent, of the cash distributed in excess of that amount. These distributions are referred to as "incentive distributions." The percentage interests for the unitholders and the general partner for the minimum quarterly distribution are also applicable to the quarterly distribution amounts that are less than the minimum quarterly distribution.

The following table shows the target distribution levels and distribution "splits" between the general partner and the holders of the Partnership's common units through June 30, 2015:



			Marginal Percentage Interest in Distributions
	Total Quarterly Distribution Target Amount		General Partner			Unitholders
Minimum Quarterly Distribution		$0.0750	2	%		98	%
First Target Distribution	up to	$0.0833	2	%		98	%
Second Target Distribution	above	$0.0833
Second Target Distribution	up to	$0.0958	15	%	⁽¹⁾	85	%
Third Target Distribution	above	$0.0958
Third Target Distribution	up to	$0.2638	37	%	⁽¹⁾	63	%
Thereafter	above	$0.2638	50	%	⁽¹⁾	50	%


⁽¹⁾	Includes general partner interest.

The distributions paid by the Partnership for the periods presented were as follows:



Cash Distribution Payment Date	Cash Distribution per Limited Partner Unit		Total Cash Distribution to the Limited Partners		Total Cash Distribution to the General Partner
			(in millions)		(in millions)
May 15, 2015	$	0.4190	$	103	$	62
February 13, 2015	$	0.4000	$	92	$	54
November 14, 2014	$	0.3825	$	84	$	49
August 14, 2014	$	0.3650	$	77	$	43
May 15, 2014	$	0.3475	$	72	$	39
February 14, 2014	$	0.3312	$	69	$	35

On July 23, 2015, the Partnership's general partner announced a cash distribution of $0.438 per common unit ($1.75 annualized), representing the distribution for the second quarter 2015. The $180 million distribution, including $69 million to the general partner for its interests and incentive distribution rights, will be paid on August 14, 2015 to unitholders of record on August 10, 2015.

13. Management Incentive Plan

The general partner has adopted the LTIP for employees and directors of the general partner who perform services for the Partnership. The LTIP is administered by the independent directors of the Compensation Committee of the general partner's board of directors with respect to employee awards, and by the general partner's board of directors with respect to awards granted to the independent directors. The LTIP currently permits the grant of restricted units and unit options covering an additional 0.6 million common units.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, the Partnership issued 0.3 million common units under the LTIP. The Partnership recognized share-based compensation expense of $8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014. Each of the outstanding restricted unit grants have tandem distribution equivalent rights which are recognized as a reduction to equity when earned.

Additionally, the general partner granted 0.1 million phantom unit incentive awards during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The Partnership recognized share-based compensation expense in relation to the phantom units of $0.4 million for the period. The phantom units will be settled in cash upon vesting, and have been accounted for as a liability within the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

14. Derivatives and Risk Management

The Partnership is exposed to various risks, including volatility in the prices of the products that the Partnership markets, counterparty credit risk and changes in interest rates.

Price Risk Management

The Partnership is exposed to risks associated with changes in the market price of crude oil, refined products and NGLs. These risks are primarily associated with price volatility related to pre-existing or anticipated purchases, sales and storage. Price changes are often caused by shifts in the supply and demand for these commodities, as well as their locations. In order to manage such exposure, the Partnership's policy is (i) to only purchase crude oil, refined products and NGLs for which sales contracts have been executed or for which ready markets exist, (ii) to structure sales contracts so that price fluctuations do not materially impact the margins earned, and (iii) not to acquire and hold physical inventory, futures contracts or other derivative instruments for the purpose of speculating on commodity price changes. Although the Partnership seeks to maintain a balanced inventory position within its commodity inventories, net unbalances may occur for short periods of time due to production, transportation and delivery variances. When physical inventory builds or draws do occur, the Partnership continuously manages the variances to a balanced position over a period of time.

The physical contracts related to the Partnership's crude oil, refined products and NGL businesses that qualify as derivatives are designated as normal purchases and sales and accounted for using accrual accounting under United States generally accepted accounting principles. The Partnership accounts for derivatives that do not qualify as normal purchases and sales at fair value. The Partnership currently does not utilize derivative instruments to manage its exposure to prices related to crude oil purchase and sale activities.

Pursuant to the Partnership's approved risk management policy, derivative contracts such as swaps, futures and other instruments may be used to hedge or reduce exposure to price risk associated with acquired inventory or forecasted physical transactions. The Partnership uses such derivative instruments to mitigate the risk associated with market movements in the price of crude oil, refined products and NGLs. These derivative contracts act as a hedging mechanism against the volatility of prices by allowing the Partnership to transfer this price risk to counterparties who are able and willing to bear it. The Partnership does not designate any of its derivative contracts as hedges for accounting purposes. Therefore, all realized and unrealized gains and losses from these derivative contracts are recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income as they are incurred. All realized gains and losses associated with derivative contracts are recorded in earnings in the same line item associated with the forecasted transaction (either in sales and other operating revenue or cost of products sold).

The Partnership had open derivative positions on approximately 15.2 and 3.6 million barrels of refined products and NGLs at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The derivatives outstanding as of June 30, 2015 vary in duration but do not extend beyond one year. The Partnership records its derivatives at fair value based on observable market prices (levels 1 and 2). As of June 30, 2015, the fair value of the Partnership's derivative assets and liabilities were approximately $9 and $16 million, respectively, compared to $29 and $14 million at December 31, 2014. Derivative asset and liability balances are recorded in accounts receivable and accrued liabilities, respectively, in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table sets forth the impact of derivatives on the Partnership's results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014:



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014

Sales and other operating revenue	$	(7	)	$	(9	)	$	(8	)	$	(9	)
Cost of products sold	(10		)	(1		)	(10		)	—
	$	(17	)	$	(10	)	$	(18	)	$	(9	)

Credit Risk Management

The Partnership maintains credit policies with regard to its counterparties that management believes minimize the overall credit risk through credit analysis, credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures. The credit positions of the Partnership's customers are analyzed prior to the extension of credit and periodically after credit has been extended. The Partnership's counterparties consist primarily of financial institutions and major integrated oil companies. This concentration of counterparties may impact the Partnership's overall exposure to credit risk, either positively or negatively, as the counterparties may be similarly affected by changes in economic, regulatory or other conditions.

Interest Rate Risk Management

The Partnership has interest rate risk exposure for changes in interest rates related to its outstanding borrowings. The Partnership manages its exposure to changes in interest rates through the use of a combination of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. At June 30, 2015, the Partnership had $550 million of consolidated variable-rate borrowings under its revolving credit facilities.

15. Fair Value Measurements

The Partnership applies fair value accounting for all assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value under current accounting rules. The assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are comprised primarily of derivative instruments.

The Partnership determines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Partnership utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs (levels 1 and 2) and minimize the use of unobservable inputs (level 3) within the fair value hierarchy established by the FASB. The Partnership generally applies a "market approach" to determine fair value. This method uses pricing and other information generated by market transactions for identical or comparable assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level (least observable) input that is significant to the measurement in its entirety.

The estimated fair value of the Partnership's financial instruments has been determined based on management's assessment of available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. The Partnership's current assets (other than derivatives and inventories) and current liabilities (other than derivatives) are financial instruments and most of these items are recorded at cost in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying value due to their short-term nature. The Partnership's derivatives are measured and recorded at fair value based on observable market prices (Note 14). The estimated fair values of the Partnership's senior notes are determined using observable market prices, as these notes are actively traded (level 1). The estimated aggregate fair value of the senior notes at June 30, 2015 was $3.80 billion, compared to the carrying amount of $4.08 billion. The estimated aggregate fair value of the senior notes at December 31, 2014 was $4.09 billion, compared to the carrying amount of $4.08 billion.

For further information regarding the Partnership's fair value measurements, see Notes 3 and 14.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement our financial information presented in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), management uses additional measures that are known as "non-GAAP financial measures" in its evaluation of past performance and prospects for the future. The primary measures used by management are earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization expenses and other non-cash items ("Adjusted EBITDA"), and distributable cash flow ("DCF"). Adjusted EBITDA and DCF do not represent and should not be considered alternatives to net income or cash flows from operating activities as determined under GAAP and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other businesses.

Our management believes that Adjusted EBITDA and DCF information enhances an investor's understanding of a business's ability to generate cash for payment of distributions and other purposes. Adjusted EBITDA calculations are also defined and used as a measure in determining our compliance with certain revolving credit facility covenants. However, despite compliance with our credit facility covenants, there may be contractual, legal, economic or other factors which may prevent us from satisfying principal and interest obligations with respect to indebtedness and may require us to allocate funds for other purposes.

The following table reconciles the differences between net income, as determined under GAAP, and Adjusted EBITDA and DCF.

⁽¹⁾	During the third quarter 2014, we changed our definition of distributable cash flow to conform to the presentation utilized by Energy Transfer Partners, L.P., ("ETP") the controlling member of our general partner. This change did not have a material impact on our distributable cash flows. Prior period amounts have been recast to conform to current presentation.

Analysis of Consolidated Operating Results

Net income attributable to Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. ("net income attributable to SXL") was $276 and $156 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Results for the three months ended June 30, 2015 included a $100 million inventory adjustment primarily attributable to the increase in crude oil prices during the quarter. Excluding this non-cash item, net income attributable to SXL increased $20 million compared to the prior year period. The increase was primarily attributable to higher operating results from our Terminal Facilities and Products Pipelines segments. These positive impacts were partially offset by lower operating results from our Crude Oil Pipelines and Crude Oil Acquisition and Marketing segments, higher depreciation and amortization expense, and higher net interest expense.

Net income attributable to SXL was $312 and $263 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Results for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included an $59 million inventory adjustment attributable to the increase in commodity prices in 2015. Excluding this non-cash item, net income attributable to SXL decreased $10 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease was primarily attributable to higher net interest expense, higher depreciation and amortization expense, and lower operating results from our Crude Oil Pipelines segment. These impacts were partially offset by improved operating results from our Products Pipelines, Terminal Facilities, and Crude Oil Acquisition and Marketing segments.

See "Analysis of Operating Segments" and "Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for additional details on operating results.

Analysis of Operating Segments

We manage our operations through four operating segments: Crude Oil Pipelines, Crude Oil Acquisition and Marketing, Terminal Facilities and Products Pipelines.

Crude Oil Pipelines

Our Crude Oil Pipelines segment consists of crude oil trunk and gathering pipelines in the southwest and midwest United States, including those owned by our joint venture interests. Revenues are generated from tariffs and the associated fees paid by shippers utilizing our transportation services to deliver crude oil and other feedstocks to refineries within those regions. Rates for shipments on these pipelines are regulated by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") and the Railroad Commission of Texas.

The following table summarizes the operating results and key operating measures for our Crude Oil Pipelines segment for the periods presented:



	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014		2015		2014
	(in millions, except for barrel amounts)				(in millions, except for barrel amounts)
Sales and other operating revenue:
Unaffiliated customers	$	80	$	81	$	159	$	156
Intersegment revenue	55		57		111		113
Total sales and other operating revenue	$	135	$	138	$	270	$	269
Depreciation and amortization expense	$	27	$	24	$	54	$	48
Adjusted EBITDA	$	89	$	104	$	184	$	197
Pipeline throughput (thousands of barrels per day ("bpd"))	2,174		2,130		2,149		2,086
Pipeline revenue per barrel (cents)	68.1		71.2		69.4		71.4

Adjusted EBITDA for the Crude Oil Pipelines segment decreased $15 million to $89 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $104 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was largely due to lower average pipeline revenue per barrel ($6 million) primarily driven by reduced volumes on higher-priced tariff movements. Increased operating expenses ($8 million), which included lower pipeline operating gains and higher line testing costs, and selling, general and administrative expenses ($2 million) on growth also contributed to the decrease. These impacts were partially offset by additional throughput volumes ($3 million) largely attributable to expansion projects placed into service in 2014.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Crude Oil Pipelines segment decreased $13 million to $184 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $197 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was largely due to lower average pipeline revenue per barrel ($8 million) primarily driven by reduced volumes on higher-priced tariff movements. Increased operating expenses ($10 million), which included lower pipeline operating gains and higher line testing costs, and selling, general and administrative expenses ($3 million) on growth also contributed to the decrease. These impacts were partially offset by additional throughput volumes ($8 million) largely attributable to expansion projects placed into service in 2014.

Crude Oil Acquisition and Marketing

Our Crude Oil Acquisition and Marketing segment reflects the sale of gathered and bulk purchased crude oil. The crude oil acquisition and marketing operations generate substantial revenue and cost of products sold as a result of the significant volume of crude oil bought and sold. The absolute price levels of crude oil normally do not bear a relationship to gross profit, although the price levels significantly impact revenue and costs of products sold. As a result, period-to-period variations in revenue and cost of products sold are not generally meaningful in analyzing the variation in gross profit for the Crude Oil Acquisition and Marketing segment. The operating results of the Crude Oil Acquisition and Marketing segment are affected by overall levels of supply and demand for crude oil and relative fluctuations in market related indices. To the extent there are periods of sustained crude oil price declines, drilling activity could decline, impacting the volume of crude oil we buy and sell. Generally, we expect a base level of earnings from our Crude Oil Acquisition and Marketing segment that may be optimized and enhanced when there is a high level of market volatility, favorable basis differentials and/or a steep contango or backwardated structure. Our management believes gross profit, which is equal to sales and other operating revenue less cost of products sold and operating expenses, is a key measure of financial performance for the Crude Oil Acquisition and Marketing segment. Although we implement risk management activities to provide general stability in our margins, these margins are not fixed and will vary from period to period.

The following table summarizes the operating results and key operating measures for our Crude Oil Acquisition and Marketing segment for the periods presented:

Adjusted EBITDA for the Crude Oil Acquisition and Marketing segment decreased $12 million to $41 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $53 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower realized crude oil margins ($19 million), which were negatively impacted by narrowing crude oil differentials compared to the prior year period. This impact was partially offset by increased crude oil volumes ($5 million) resulting from 2014 acquisitions and the expansion of our crude oil trucking fleet.

Adjusted EBITDA for the Crude Oil Acquisition and Marketing segment increased $7 million to $72 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $65 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to higher crude oil volumes ($6 million) resulting from 2014 acquisitions and the expansion of our crude oil trucking fleet.

Terminal Facilities

Our Terminal Facilities segment consists of crude oil, refined products and natural gas liquids ("NGL") terminals, as well as a products acquisition and marketing business. The Terminal Facilities segment earns revenue by providing storage, terminalling, blending and other ancillary services to our customers, as well as through the sale of refined products and NGLs.

The following table summarizes the operating results and key operating measures for our Terminal Facilities segment for the periods presented:

Adjusted EBITDA for the Terminal Facilities segment increased $43 million to $140 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $97 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to higher results from our products acquisition and marketing activities ($22 million), which were positively impacted by inventory accounting resulting from the liquidation of certain inventories that were stored during the first quarter to capture the contango market structure. Improved operating results from our Marcus Hook and Nederland terminals ($24 million) also contributed to the increase. These positive impacts were partially offset by lower results from our refined products terminals ($3 million).

Adjusted EBITDA for the Terminal Facilities segment increased $9 million to $192 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $183 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to improved operating results from our Marcus Hook, Nederland and Eagle Point terminals ($29 million), which was largely offset by lower results from our products acquisition and marketing activities ($23 million).

Products Pipelines

Our Products Pipelines segment consists of refined products and NGL pipelines, including a two-thirds undivided interest in the Harbor pipeline and joint venture interests in four refined products pipelines in selected areas of the United States. The Products Pipeline System primarily earns revenues by transporting refined products and NGLs from refineries in the northeast, midwest and southwest United States to markets in six states and Canada. Rates for shipments on these pipelines are regulated by the FERC and the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission ("PA PUC").

The following table summarizes the operating results and key operating measures for our Products Pipelines segment for the periods presented:

Adjusted EBITDA for the Products Pipelines segment increased $30 million to $56 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $26 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was due primarily to higher throughput volumes and higher average pipeline revenue per barrel associated with the Mariner NGL pipeline projects ($33 million). These positive impacts were partially offset by lower contributions from joint venture interests ($2 million).

Adjusted EBITDA for the Products Pipelines segment increased $56 million to $99 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015, as compared to $43 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014. The increase was due primarily to higher throughput volumes and higher average pipeline revenue per barrel associated with the Mariner NGL pipeline projects ($52 million) and improved contributions from joint venture interests ($4 million).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Cash generated from operations and borrowings under our $2.50 billion Credit Facility are our primary sources of liquidity. At June 30, 2015, we had a net working capital surplus of $517 million and available borrowing capacity of $1.95 billion under our revolving credit facility. We supplement our cash flows from operations with proceeds from our at-the-market equity offering program ("ATM program") and periodically with debt and equity financing activities.

Credit Facilities

We maintain a $2.50 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement (the "$2.50 billion Credit Facility"), which matures in March 2020, to fund our working capital requirements, finance acquisitions and capital projects, and for general partnership purposes. The $2.50 billion Credit Facility contains an "accordion" feature, under which the total aggregate commitment may be extended to $3.25 billion under certain conditions. Outstanding borrowings under this credit facility were $550 and $150 million at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. In June 2015, the $2.5 billion Credit Facility was amended to create a segregated tranche of borrowings that will be guaranteed by ETP. The amendment did not modify the outstanding borrowings, total capacity or terms of the facility.

The $2.50 billion Credit Facility contains various covenants including limitations on the creation of indebtedness and liens, and related to the operation and conduct of our business. The credit facility also limits us, on a rolling four quarter basis, to a maximum total consolidated debt to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA ratio, as defined in the underlying credit agreement, of 5.0 to 1, which can generally be increased to 5.5 to 1 during an acquisition period. Our ratio of total consolidated debt, excluding net unamortized fair value adjustments, to consolidated Adjusted EBITDA was 3.3 to 1 at June 30, 2015, as calculated in accordance with the credit agreement.

The West Texas Gulf $35 million revolving credit facility matured in April 2015 and was repaid with borrowings from the $2.50 billion Credit Facility.

Senior Notes

In April 2014, we issued $300 million of 4.25 percent Senior Notes and $700 million of 5.30 percent Senior Notes (the "2024 and 2044 Senior Notes"), due April 2024 and April 2044, respectively. The terms and conditions of the 2024 and 2044 Senior Notes are comparable to those of our other outstanding senior notes. The net proceeds from these offerings were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the existing Credit Facility and for general partnership purposes.

Equity Offerings

In the first quarter 2014, we filed a registration statement and established a $250 million ATM program. The program allows us to issue common units directly to the public and raise capital in a timely and efficient manner to finance our growth capital program, while supporting our investment grade credit ratings. In the third quarter 2014, we filed a registration statement which will allow issuance of up to an additional $1.0 billion of common units directly to the public under the ATM program. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, we issued 6.2 and 9.6 million common units under this program, for net proceeds of $242 and $384 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, we issued 2.2 million common units under the program for net proceeds of $102 million.

In March 2015, we completed an overnight public offering of 13.5 million common units for net proceeds of $547 million. The net proceeds from this offering were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the $2.50 billion Credit Facility and for general partnership purposes. In April 2015, an additional 2.0 million common units were issued for net proceeds of $82 million related to the exercise of an option in connection with the March 2015 offering.

Cash Flows and Capital Expenditures

Operating Activities

Cash flows from operating activities are primarily driven by earnings, excluding the impact of non-cash items, the timing of cash receipts and disbursements related to accounts receivable and payable, and the timing of inventory transactions and changes in other working capital amounts. Non-cash items include depreciation, amortization, and impairment charges and related matters. See the Analysis of Consolidated Operating Results, above, for more information on changes in our consolidated earnings.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $112 million was primarily related to net income of $314 million, adjusted for non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization totaling $176 million. These sources of cash were partially offset by a $314 million increase in working capital largely attributable to an increase in inventory volumes and a $59 million non-cash inventory adjustment related to changes in commodity prices.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $221 million was primarily related to net income of $268 million and non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization of $143 million, partially offset by a $176 million increase in working capital due to an increase in net receivables.

Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities relate primarily to our capital expenditures, including maintenance and expansion capital expenditures, acquisitions and investments in joint venture interests. See "Capital Requirements" below for additional details on our investing activities.

In addition to $1.1 billion of cash used for expansion and maintenance capital expenditures, net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 included the $131 million acquisition of the remaining noncontrolling interest in West Texas Gulf.

Net cash used in investing activities of $1.1 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2014 related to $1.0 billion of expansion and maintenance capital expenditures, $65 million of acquisitions completed in the Crude Oil Acquisition and Marketing segment and a $42 million investment in a joint venture interest.

Financing Activities

Cash flows from financing activities relate primarily to the payment of distributions to partners; proceeds from senior note offerings, as well as overnight equity and ATM offerings; borrowings and repayments under our credit facilities; and the cash impacts of debt and equity activities.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 of $1.1 billion resulted primarily from $1.0 billion of net proceeds from the overnight public equity offering and our ATM program, and the $365 million of net borrowings under our $2.50 billion Credit Facility. These sources of cash were partially offset by $311 million in distributions paid to limited partners and the general partner.

Net cash provided by financing activities in 2014 of $986 million resulted primarily from $989 million of net proceeds related to the April 2014 issuance of senior notes; $50 million of net borrowings under our credit facilities; $239 million decrease in advances to affiliates, which represented our cash held by Sunoco in accordance with our participation in Sunoco's cash management program; and $102 million of net proceeds from our ATM program. These sources of cash were partially offset by $215 million in distributions paid to limited partners and the general partner, and the $175 million repayment of the 8.75 percent Senior Notes in February 2014.

Capital Requirements

Our operations are capital intensive, requiring significant investment to maintain, upgrade and enhance existing assets and to comply with environmental and operational regulations. The capital requirements have consisted, and are expected to continue to consist, primarily of:


•	Expansion capital expenditures to acquire and integrate complementary assets to improve operational efficiencies or reduce costs and to expand existing and construct new facilities, such as projects that increase storage or throughput volume,


•	Maintenance capital expenditures that extend the usefulness of existing assets, such as those required to maintain equipment reliability, tankage and pipeline integrity and safety, and to address environmental regulations, and


•	Acquisitions to acquire and integrate complementary assets to grow the business, to improve operational efficiencies or reduce costs.

The following table summarizes our capital expenditures for the periods presented:



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014
	(in millions)
Expansion	$	909	$	1,108
Maintenance	31		31
Acquisitions	131		80
Investment in joint venture interests	—		42
Total	$	1,071	$	1,261

Expansion capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 included projects to: invest in the announced Mariner and Allegheny Access projects; invest in our crude oil infrastructure by increasing our pipeline capabilities through announced expansion capital projects in Texas and Oklahoma; expand the service capabilities of our products and NGLs acquisition and marketing business; and upgrade the service capabilities at our bulk marine terminals. We expect total expansion capital spending, excluding acquisitions and investment in joint venture interests, to be approximately $2.5 billion in 2015, which includes spending on our previously announced growth projects and to capture more value from existing assets such as the Marcus Hook Industrial Complex, our bulk marine terminals, our pipeline assets and our patented blending technology.

Maintenance capital expenditures for both periods presented primarily included recurring expenditures such as pipeline integrity costs; pipeline relocations; repair and upgrade of field instrumentation, including measurement devices; repair and replacement of tank floors and roofs; upgrades of cathodic protection systems; crude trucks and related equipment; and the upgrade of pump stations. We continue to estimate our maintenance capital spending to be approximately $70 million in 2015.

Our capital expenditures, including any acquisitions, are expected to be funded from cash provided by operations, borrowings under the credit facilities, and with proceeds from debt and equity offerings, as necessary.



Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to various risks, including volatility in the interest rates associated with our variable-rate debt and in the prices of the products that we market. In order to manage such exposure, debt levels, interest rates, inventory levels and expectations of future commodity prices are monitored when making decisions with respect to risk management.

Interest Rate Risk

We have interest rate risk exposure for changes in interest rates relating to our outstanding borrowings. We manage our exposure to changing interest rates through the use of a combination of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. At June 30, 2015, we had $550 million of variable-rate borrowings under the revolving credit facilities. Outstanding borrowings bear interest cost at LIBOR plus an applicable margin. An increase in short-term interest rates will have a negative impact on funds borrowed under variable-rate debt arrangements. Our weighted average interest rate on our variable-rate borrowings was approximately 1 percent at June 30, 2015. A one-percent movement in the weighted average rate would have impacted interest expense by approximately $3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

At June 30, 2015, we had $3.98 billion of fixed-rate borrowings which was comprised of our outstanding senior notes. This amount excludes the $100 million of unamortized fair value adjustments resulting from the application of push-down accounting in connection with the acquisition of our general partner by ETP. The estimated fair value of our senior notes was $3.80 billion at June 30, 2015. A hypothetical one-percent movement in interest rates would have impacted the fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings by approximately $429 million.

Commodity Market Risk

We are exposed to volatility in the prices of the products we market. To manage such exposures, inventory levels and expectations regarding future commodity prices are monitored when making decisions with respect to risk management and inventory carried. Our policy is to purchase only commodity products for which we have a market, and to structure our sales contracts so that price fluctuations for those products do not materially affect the margins we receive. We also seek to maintain a position that is substantially balanced within our various commodity purchase and sale activities. We may experience net unbalanced positions for short periods of time as a result of production, transportation and delivery variances, as well as logistical issues associated with inclement weather conditions. When unscheduled physical inventory builds or draws occur, they are monitored and managed to a balanced position over a reasonable period of time.

We do not use futures or other derivative instruments to speculate on crude oil, refined products or natural gas liquids ("NGL") prices, as these activities could expose us to significant losses. We do use derivative contracts as economic hedges against price changes related to our forecasted refined products and NGLs purchase and sale activities. These derivatives are intended to have equal and opposite effects of the related physical purchase and sale activities. At June 30, 2015, the fair market value of our open derivative positions resulted in a net liability of $7 million on 15.2 million barrels of refined products and NGLs. These derivative positions vary in length but do not extend beyond one year.

For additional information concerning our commodity market risk activities, see Note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

•	Restrictive covenants in our credit agreements;


•	Changes in our or our general partner's credit ratings, as assigned by ratings agencies;


•	The condition of the debt capital markets and equity capital markets in the United States, and our ability to raise capital in a cost-effective way;


•	Performance of financial institutions impacting our liquidity, including those supporting our credit facilities;


•	The effectiveness of our risk management activities, including the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge commodity risks;


•	Changes in interest rates on our outstanding debt, which could increase the costs of borrowing; and


•	The costs and effects of legal and administrative claims and proceedings against us or any entity in which we have an ownership interest, and changes in the status of, or the initiation of new litigation, claims or proceedings, to which we, or any entity in which we have an ownership interest, are a party.

These factors are not necessarily all of the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any of our forward-looking statements. Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on future results. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information or future events.



Item 4.	Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Partnership's reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the Partnership's reports under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of Sunoco Partners LLC (the Partnership's general partner), as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of June 30, 2015, the Partnership carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the management of the general partner (including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the general partner's President and Chief Executive Officer and its Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, concluded that the Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

No change in the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting has occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2015 that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.

OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.	Legal Proceedings

There are certain proceedings arising prior to the February 2002 initial public offering ("IPO") pending against our Sunoco, Inc. ("Sunoco") affiliated predecessors and us (as successor to certain liabilities of those predecessors). Although the ultimate outcome of these proceedings cannot be ascertained at this time, it is reasonably possible that some of them may be resolved unfavorably. Sunoco has agreed to indemnify the Partnership for 100 percent of all losses from environmental liabilities related to the transferred assets arising prior to, and asserted within 21 years of February 8, 2002. There is no monetary cap on this indemnification from Sunoco. Sunoco's share of liability for claims asserted thereafter will decrease by 10 percent each year through the thirtieth year following the February 8, 2002 date. Any remediation liabilities not covered by this indemnity will be our responsibility. In addition, Sunoco is obligated to indemnify us under certain other agreements executed after the IPO.

In April 2015, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration ("PHMSA") issued two separate Notices of Probable Violation (“NOPV”) related to the Partnership’s West Texas Gulf pipeline in connection with repairs being carried out on the pipeline. The NOPVs propose penalties in excess of $0.1 million, and is currently in discussions with PHMSA to resolve these matters. The timing or outcome of these matters cannot be reasonable determined at this time, however, the Partnership does not expect there to be a material impact to its results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.

There are certain pending legal proceedings related to matters arising after the IPO that are not indemnified by Sunoco. Our management believes that any liabilities that may arise from these legal proceedings will not be material to our results of operations, financial position or cash flows at June 30, 2015.



Item 1A.	Risk Factors
