Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

Note 1—Overview

We are an integrated refiner and marketer based in Houston, Texas. Currently, we operate in four segments: (i) refining and distribution, (ii) retail, (iii) natural gas and oil production, and (iv) commodity marketing and logistics.

Our refining and distribution segment consists of a refinery in Kapolei, Hawaii, refined products terminals, pipelines, a single-point mooring and trucking operations. The refinery produces ultra-low sulfur diesel, gasoline, jet fuel, marine fuel, and other associated refined products primarily for consumption in Hawaii.

Our retail segment consists of retail outlets which sell gasoline, diesel, and retail merchandise throughout Hawaii. Our retail network includes Tesoro and "76" branded retail sites, company-operated convenience stores, sites operated in cooperation with 7-Eleven and other sites operated by third parties.

Our natural gas and oil production segment consists of natural gas and oil assets that are non-operated and are concentrated in our 34.0% ownership of Piceance Energy, LLC ("Piceance Energy"), a joint venture entity focused on producing natural gas in Garfield and Mesa Counties, Colorado. In addition, we own non-operated interests in Colorado and offshore California, and an overriding royalty interest in New Mexico. Our interests are heavily weighted towards natural gas and natural gas liquids.

Our commodity marketing and logistics segment focuses on sourcing, marketing, transporting, and distributing crude oil and refined products. Our logistics capability consists of historical pipeline shipping status, a leased railcar fleet, and chartering tows and barges, with the capability of moving crude oil from landlocked locations in the Western U.S. and Canada to the refining hubs in the Midwest, Gulf Coast, and East Coast regions of the U.S.

Note 2—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Par Petroleum Corporation ("Par") and its subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts from prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contained in this report include all material adjustments of a normal recurring nature that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the complete fiscal year, or for any other period. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 22, 2015.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and the related disclosures. Actual amounts could differ from these estimates. On an ongoing basis, we review our estimates based on currently available information. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Significant estimates include the fair value of certain assets and liabilities, including those acquired in business combinations, natural gas and oil reserves, income taxes and the valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets, derivatives, asset retirement obligations, contingencies and litigation accruals.

Accounting Principles Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU No. 2014-09”). The FASB’s objective was to provide a more robust framework to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities by removing most industry and transaction specific guidance, align GAAP with International Financial Reporting Standards, and provide more useful information to financial statement users. This authoritative guidance changes the way entities recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU No. 2014-09 is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and

PAR PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

early adoption is permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU No. 2014-09 allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. We are in the process of determining the method of adoption and the impact this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU 2014-15”). ASU 2014-15 is intended to define management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an organization’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of ASU 2014-15 to have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis ("ASU 2015-02"). ASU 2015-02 changes the consolidation analysis required under GAAP. ASU 2015-02 eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships are Variable Interest Entities or voting interest entities. Under the amended guidance, limited partners would be required to consolidate a partnership if the limited partner retains certain powers and obligations. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. ASU 2015-02 allows for either full retrospective adoption or modified retrospective adoption. Early adoption is permitted, but the guidance must be applied as of the beginning of the annual period containing the adoption date. We are in the process of determining the method of adoption and the impact this guidance will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ("ASU 2015-03"). ASU 2015-03 changes the balance sheet classification of debt issuance costs. Under current GAAP, debt issuance costs are reported on the balance sheet as assets and amortized as interest expense. ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs be presented as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, which is similar to the presentation of debt discounts or premiums. Debt issuance costs will continue to be amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. ASU 2015-03 should be adopted on a retrospective basis and early adoption is permitted. As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , we had $8.6 million and $13.2 million of debt issuance costs included in Other long-term assets on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ("ASU 2015-11"). ASU 2015-11 changes the inventory measurement principle for entities using the first-in, first out (FIFO) or average cost methods. The amendments do not apply to inventory that is measured using last-in, first-out (LIFO) or the retail inventory method. For entities utilizing one of these methods, the inventory measurement principle will change from lower of cost or market to the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. Subsequent measurement is unchanged for inventory measured using LIFO or the retail inventory method.

This difference arose due to lack of control and marketability discounts. We attributed this difference to natural gas and oil properties and are amortizing the difference over 15 years based on the estimated proved reserves at the date Piceance Energy was formed.

Note 4—Acquisition

On June 2, 2014 , we and our subsidiary entered into an agreement to acquire Koko’oha Investments, Inc. ("Koko'Oha"), a Hawaii corporation, which owns 100% of the issued and outstanding membership interests in Mid Pac Petroleum, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Mid Pac”). Mid Pac is the exclusive licensee of the “76” brand in the State of Hawaii and the owner/operator of several terminals and retail gasoline stations across Hawaii.

On April 1, 2015 , we completed the acquisition of Mid Pac for net cash consideration of $73.3 million . The amount paid at closing, net of cash acquired, was $58.3 million . The cash consideration also includes advance deposits of $15.0 million , of which $10 million was paid in 2014, paid prior to closing. In connection with the acquisition, Mid Pac's pre-existing debt of $45.3 million , was fully repaid on the closing date. The acquisition and debt repayment were funded with cash on hand and $55 million of borrowings under the Credit Agreement with the Bank of Hawaii ("Mid Pac Credit Agreement"). Please read Note 8—Debt for further discussion.

We accounted for the acquisition of Mid Pac as a business combination whereby the purchase price was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the date of acquisition. Goodwill recognized in the transaction was attributable to opportunities expected to arise from combining our operations with Mid Pac's, and utilization of our net operating loss carryforwards, as well as other intangible assets that do not qualify for separate recognition. In addition, we recorded certain other identifiable intangible assets including trade names and customer relationships. These intangible assets will

Note 7—Inventory Financing Agreements

Supply and Offtake Agreements

During the term of the Supply and Offtake Agreements, we and J. Aron will identify mutually acceptable contracts for the purchase of crude oil from third parties. Per the Supply and Offtake Agreements, J. Aron will provide up to 94 thousand barrels per day of crude oil to the refinery. Additionally, we agreed to sell, and J. Aron agreed to buy, at market prices, refined products produced at the refinery. We will then repurchase the refined products from J. Aron prior to selling the refined products to our retail operations or third parties. The agreements also provide for the lease to J. Aron of crude oil and certain refined product storage facilities. Following expiration or termination of the agreements, we are obligated to purchase the crude oil and refined product inventories then owned by J. Aron and located at the leased storage facilities at then current market prices. Our obligations under the agreements are secured by a security interest on substantially all of the assets of Hawaii Independent Energy, LLC ("HIE"), a security interest on the equity interests held by our wholly-owned subsidiary, Hawaii Pacific Energy, LLC in HIE and a mortgage whereby HIE granted to J. Aron a lien on all real property and improvements owned by HIE, including our refinery.

While title to the crude oil and certain refined product inventories will reside with J. Aron, the Supply and Offtake Agreements will be accounted for as a product financing arrangement; therefore, the crude oil and refined products inventories will continue to be included on our consolidated balance sheet until processed and sold to a third party. Each reporting period, we record a liability in an amount equal to the amount we expect to pay to repurchase the inventory held by J. Aron based on current market prices.

For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , we incurred approximately $ 1.5 million in handling fees related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements, which is included in Cost of revenues on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , Interest expense and financing costs, net on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations includes approximately $0.1 million of expenses related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements.

The Supply and Offtake Agreements also include a deferred payment arrangement ("Deferred Payment Arrangement") whereby we can defer payments owed under the agreements up to the lesser of $125 million or 85% of the eligible accounts receivable and inventory. Upon execution of the Supply and Offtake Agreements, we paid J. Aron a deferral arrangement fee of $1.3 million . The deferred amounts under the deferred payment arrangement will bear interest at a rate equal to 90 -day LIBOR plus 3.75% per annum. We also agreed to pay a deferred payment availability fee equal to 0.75% of the unused capacity under the deferred payment arrangement. Amounts outstanding under the Deferred Payment Arrangement are included in Obligations under inventory financing agreements on our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Changes in the amount outstanding under the Deferred Payment Arrangement are included within cash flows from financing activities on the unaudited consolidated statement of cash flows. As of June 30, 2015, the capacity of the Deferred Payment Arrangement was $78.2 million and we had $36.0 million outstanding.

The agreements also provide us with the ability to hedge price risk on our inventories and crude oil purchases. Please read Note 9—Fair Value Measurements for further information.

Supply and Exchange Agreements

HIE entered into several agreements with Barclays Bank PLC ("Barclays"), referred to collectively as the Supply and Exchange Agreements, on September 25, 2013 in connection with the acquisition of HIE for the purpose of managing its working capital and the crude oil and refined product inventory at the refinery. Effective July 31, 2014, HIE supplemented the Supply and Exchange Agreements by entering into the Refined Product Supply Master Confirmation, pursuant to which Barclays may provide refined product supply and intermediation arrangements to HIE.

Pursuant to the Supply and Exchange Agreements, Barclays held title to all of the crude oil in the tanks at the refinery and to a majority of our refined product inventory in our tanks at the refinery. Barclays also prepaid us for certain inventory held at locations outside of our refinery. We held title to the inventory during the refining process. Barclays sold the crude oil to us as it was discharged out of the refinery's tanks. We exchanged refined product owned by Barclays stored in our tanks for equal volumes of refined product produced by our refinery when we executed third-party sales of refined product.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , we incurred approximately $ 3.1 million and $6.9 million in handling fees related to the Supply and Exchange Agreements, respectively, which are included in Cost of revenues on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , we incurred approximately $3.9 million and $7.4 million in handling fees related to the Supply and Exchange Agreements, respectively.

For each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , Interest expense and financing costs, net on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations includes approximately $0.9 million and $2.3 million of expenses related to the Supply and Exchange Agreements. Interest expense and financing costs, net on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations includes approximately $1.4 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 .

Upon execution of the Supply and Offtake Agreements, HIE terminated the Supply and Exchange Agreements with Barclays, subject to certain obligations to reimburse Barclays for third-party claims. We recognized a loss of $17.4 million on the termination of the agreement which consists of a loss of $13.3 million for the cash settlement value of the liability which had previously been measured assuming settlement with inventory on hand and a loss of $5.6 million for the acceleration of deferred financing costs related the Supply and Exchange Agreements. These losses were partially offset by a $1.5 million exit fee received from Barclays. The net loss of $17.4 million related to the termination of the Supply and Exchange Agreements is included in Loss on termination of financing agreements on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 . The cash paid to settle the obligation is included in Payments for termination of supply and exchange agreements in the Cash flows from financing activities section of our unaudited condensed statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

Pursuant to the terms of our Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement (the "Term Loan"), we were required to repay an advance of $35 million on March 31, 2015. On March 11, 2015, we entered into a Third Amendment to the Term Loan whereby we extended the repayment date of the advance to March 31, 2016. All other terms and conditions remain unchanged.

Certain lenders under the Term Loan are our stockholders. Please read Note 16—Related Party Transactions for more information.

Retail Credit Agreement

On November 14, 2013, HIE Retail, LLC (“HIE Retail”), our subsidiary, entered into a Credit Agreement (“Retail Credit Agreement”) in the form of a senior secured term loan of up to $30 million (“Retail Term Loan”) and a senior secured revolving line of credit of up to $5 million (“Retail Revolver”). Loans made under the Retail Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of HIE Retail.

On May 15, 2015, HIE Retail entered into a Second Amendment to the Retail Credit Agreement ("Second Amendment") pursuant to which we terminated the Retail Revolver and extended the maturity date of the existing Retail Term Loans in the aggregate principal amount of $22 million until March 31, 2022. In connection with the entry into the Second Amendment, the Retail Facility lenders made additional term loans to HIE Retail in the aggregate principal amount of $7.9 million . The New Term Loans were made on the same terms as the term loans previously made under the Retail Credit Agreement, as amended by the Second Amendment. The Second Amendment also provides that if a prepayment of the amounts outstanding under the Retail Credit Agreement occurs as a result of HIE Retail obtaining refinancing from any financial institution (including from less than all of the Retail Facility Lenders), HIE Retail shall pay a prepayment fee equal to 1% of the amount prepaid. Prior to the entry into the Second Amendment, there were no revolving loans outstanding and no letters of credit issued under the Retail Credit Agreement.

The Second Amendment includes a new covenant that requires HIE Retail to maintain cash on hand of not less than $3 million at all times. In addition, the Second Amendment modifies the financial covenant relating to HIE Retail’s maximum Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Retail Credit Agreement), which is measured on a quarterly basis commencing with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2015 and building up to a rolling four-quarter basis, as follows for the last day of each fiscal year:

Mid Pac Credit Agreement

On April 1, 2015, Koko’oha and Mid Pac entered into the Mid Pac Credit Agreement in the form of a senior secured term loan in the amount of $50.0 million (“Mid Pac Term Loan”) and a senior secured revolving line of credit (“Mid Pac Revolving Credit Facility”) in the aggregate principal amount of up to $5.0 million . The lenders of the Mid Pac Credit Agreement advanced the full amount of the Mid Pac Term Loan and the Mid Pac Revolving Credit Facility at the closing. The proceeds of the loans were used to repay certain existing debt of Koko’oha and Mid Pac, pay a portion of the acquisition consideration and for general corporate purposes.

The Mid Pac Term Loan matures and is fully payable on April 1, 2022. Principal on the term loan will be repaid in 28 equal quarterly principal payments over the term. The revolving credit facility matures on April 1, 2018 and no more than five borrowings consisting of LIBOR loans may be outstanding at any time. Letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility are not to expire beyond the maturity date of the revolving credit facility.

The Mid Pac Term Loan and advances under the Mid Pac Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest, at the Company's election, at a rate equal to (a) 30, 90 or 180 day LIBOR plus the applicable margin (as specified below), or (ii) the primary interest rate established from time to time by Bank of Hawaii plus a margin. For both LIBOR and primary interest rate loans, the margin is calculated based on the leverage ratio determined as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter.

Note 9—Fair Value Measurements

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

Common stock warrants . As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , we had 749,148 common stock warrants outstanding. We estimate the fair value of our outstanding common stock warrants using a Monte Carlo simulation analysis, which is considered to be a Level 3 fair value measurement. Significant inputs used in the Monte Carlo simulation analysis include:



	June 30, 2015	December 31, 2014
Stock price	$18.72	$16.25
Weighted average exercise price	$0.10	$0.10
Term (years)	7.17	7.67
Risk-free rate	2.09%	2.01%
Expected volatility	44.5%	50.2%

The expected volatility is based on the 10 -year historical volatilities of comparable public companies. Based on the Monte Carlo simulation analysis, the estimated fair value of the common stock warrants was $18.46 and $16.17 per share as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. Since the common stock warrants were in the money upon issuance, we do not believe that changes in the inputs to the Monte Carlo simulation analysis will have a significant impact on the value of the common stock warrants other than changes in the value of our common stock. Increases in the value of our common stock will increase the value of the common stock warrants. Likewise, a decrease in the value of our common stock will result in a decrease in the value of the common stock warrants.

The derivative contracts that we execute to manage our price risk include exchange traded futures, options and over-the-counter (“OTC”) swaps. Our futures, options, and OTC swaps are marked-to-market and changes in the fair value of these contracts are recognized within Cost of revenues on our unaudited consolidated statements of operations.

We have entered into forward purchase contracts for crude oil and forward sales contracts of refined products. We elect the normal purchases normal sales (“NPNS”) exception for all forward contracts that meet the definition of a derivative and are not expected to net settle. Any gains and losses with respect to these forward contracts designated as NPNS are not reflected in earnings until the delivery occurs. During 2014, we entered into certain physical forward crude oil contracts that did not qualify for or for which we did not elect the normal NPNS exception. Changes in the fair value of those contracts were recorded in earnings. The fair value of our commodity derivatives were measured using the closing market price at the end of the reporting period obtained from the New York Mercantile Exchange and from third-party broker quotes and pricing providers.

We elect to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments executed with the same counterparty under a master netting agreement. Our consolidated unaudited balance sheets present derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis. Our cash margin that is required as collateral deposits cannot be offset against the fair value of open contracts except in the event of default.

Mid Pac Earnout and Indemnity Dispute

Pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated August 3, 2011 and amended October 25, 2011 (the “SPA”), Mid Pac purchased all the issued and outstanding stock of Inter Island Petroleum, Inc. (“Inter Island”) from Brian J. and Wendy Barbata (collectively, the “Barbatas”). The SPA provides for an earnout payment to be made to the Barbatas in an amount equal to four times the amount by which the average of Inter Island’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization during the relevant earnout period exceeds $3.5 million . The earnout payment is capped at a maximum of $4.5 million . Mid Pac contends that there are no amounts owed to the Barbatas for the earnout period. By letter dated May 29, 2014, the Barbatas disputed Mid Pac’s computation of the earnout, without explanation of the amount they claim to be owed or refutation of Mid Pac’s analysis. Mid Pac intends to vigorously oppose any such claims.

Any claims by the Barbatas will be offset by Mid Pac’s claims for indemnification under the SPA. By letters dated December 13, 2013 and April 25, 2014, Mid Pac has asserted indemnification claims against the Barbatas exceeding $1 million with respect to environmental losses arising from certain terminals operated by Inter Island and its subsidiaries. The Barbatas have disputed such claims.

Tesoro Earnout Dispute

The cash consideration for our acquisition of HIE is subject to increase pursuant to an earnout provision. For 2014, we contend that there are no amounts owed to Tesoro. Tesoro has disputed our calculation of the 2014 earnout amount and contends that approximately $1 million is owed. Pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement dated June 17, 2013, the dispute will be submitted to a mutually acceptable independent accounting firm to be engaged by the parties, as arbiter, to determine the amount owed, if any.

Environmental Matters

Our petroleum refining operations and third-party oil and gas exploration and production operations in which we have a working interest are subject to extensive and periodically changing federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations governing air emissions, wastewater discharges, and solid and hazardous waste management activities. Many of these laws and regulations are becoming increasingly stringent, and the cost of compliance can be expected to increase over time. Our policy is to accrue environmental and clean-up related costs of a non-capital nature when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Such estimates may be subject to revision in the future as regulations and other conditions change.

Periodically, we receive communications from various federal, state, and local governmental authorities asserting violations of environmental laws and/or regulations. These governmental entities may also propose or assess fines or require corrective actions for these asserted violations. We intend to respond in a timely manner to all such communications and to take appropriate corrective action. We do not anticipate that any such matters currently asserted will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Regulation of Greenhouse Gases. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) has begun regulating greenhouse gases ("GHG") under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (“Clean Air Act”). New construction or material expansions that meet certain GHG emissions thresholds will likely require that, among other things, a GHG permit be issued in accordance with the Clean Air Act regulations, and we will be required in connection with such permitting to undertake a technology review to determine appropriate controls to be implemented with the project in order to reduce GHG emissions.

Furthermore, the EPA is currently developing refinery-specific GHG regulations and performance standards that are expected to impose GHG emission limits and/or technology requirements. These control requirements may affect a wide range of refinery operations. Any such controls could result in material increased compliance costs, additional operating restrictions for our business, and an increase in cost of the products we produce, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations, and liquidity.

In 2007, the State of Hawaii passed Act 234, which required that GHG emissions be rolled back on a statewide basis to 1990 levels by the year 2020. Although delayed, the Hawaii Department of Health has issued regulations that would require each major facility to reduce CO ₂ emissions by 16% by 2020 relative to a calendar year 2010 baseline (the first year in which GHG emissions were reported to the EPA under 40 CFR Part 98). Those rules are pending final approval by the Government of Hawaii. The refinery’s capacity to reduce fuel use and GHG emissions is limited. However, the state’s pending regulation allows, and the refinery should be able to demonstrate, that additional reductions are not cost-effective or necessary in light of the state’s current GHG inventory and future year projections. The pending regulation allows for “partnering” with other facilities (principally power plants) which have already dramatically reduced greenhouse emissions or are on schedule to reduce CO ₂ emissions in order to comply with the state’s Renewable Portfolio Standards.

Fuel Standards. In 2007, the U.S. Congress passed the Energy Independence and Security Act (“EISA”) which, among other things, set a target fuel economy standard of 35 miles per gallon for the combined fleet of cars and light trucks in the United States by model year 2020, and contained a second Renewable Fuel Standard (the “RFS2”). In August 2012, the EPA and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration jointly adopted regulations that establish an average industry fuel economy of 54.5 miles per gallon by model year 2025. The RFS2 requires an increasing amount of renewable fuel usage, up to 36 billion gallons by 2022. In the near term, the RFS2 will be satisfied primarily with fuel ethanol blended into gasoline. The RFS2 may present production and logistics challenges for both the renewable fuels and petroleum refining and marketing industries in that we may have to enter into arrangements with other parties or purchase credits from the EPA to meet our obligations to use advanced biofuels, including biomass-based diesel and cellulosic biofuel, with potentially uncertain supplies of these new fuels.

In October 2010, the EPA issued a partial waiver decision under the Clean Air Act to allow for an increase in the amount of ethanol permitted to be blended into gasoline from 10% (“E10”) to 15% (“E15”) for 2007 and newer light duty motor vehicles. In January 2011, the EPA issued a second waiver for the use of E15 in vehicles model years 2001-2006. There are numerous issues,

PAR PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

including state and federal regulatory issues, which need to be addressed before E15 can be marketed on a large scale for use in traditional gasoline engines. Since April 2006, the State of Hawaii has required that a minimum of 9.2% ethanol be blended into at least 85% of the gasoline pool, but the regulation also limited the amount of ethanol to no more than 10% . Effective January 1, 2016, however, this state mandate will terminate. Consequently, unless federal regulations are revised, qualified Renewable Identification Numbers (“RINS”) will be required to fulfill the federal mandate for renewable fuels.

In March 2014, the EPA published a final Tier 3 gasoline standard that lowers the allowable sulfur level in gasoline to 10 ppm and also lowers the allowable benzene, aromatics and olefins content of gasoline. The effective date for the new standard, January 1, 2017, gives refiners nationwide little time to engineer, permit and implement substantial modifications; however, approved small volume refineries have until January 1, 2020 to meet the standard. We believe that HIE’s refinery satisfies the definition of a small volume refinery, and we have applied to the EPA for status as such as is required by the Tier 3 regulations. Along with credit and trading options, potential capital upgrades for the refinery are being evaluated.

There will be compliance costs and uncertainties regarding how we will comply with the various requirements contained in the EISA and other fuel-related regulations. We may experience a decrease in demand for refined petroleum products due to an increase in combined fleet mileage or due to refined petroleum products being replaced by renewable fuels.

Environmental Agreement

On September 25, 2013 (“Closing Date”), Hawaii Pacific Energy (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Par created for purposes of the HIE acquisition), Tesoro Corporation ("Tesoro") and HIE entered into an Environmental Agreement (“Environmental Agreement”), which allocated responsibility for known and contingent environmental liabilities related to the acquisition of HIE, including the Consent Decree as described below.

Consent Decree . Tesoro is currently negotiating a consent decree with the EPA and the United States Department of Justice concerning alleged violations of the federal Clean Air Act related to the ownership and operation of multiple facilities owned or formerly owned by Tesoro and its affiliates (“Consent Decree”), including the Hawaii refinery. It is anticipated that the Consent Decree will be finalized sometime during 2015 and will require certain capital improvements to our refinery to reduce emissions of air pollutants.

We estimate the cost of compliance with the final decree could be $20 million to $25 million . However, Tesoro is responsible under the Environmental Agreement for reimbursing HIE for all reasonable third-party capital expenditures incurred for the construction, installation and commissioning of such capital projects and for the payment of any fines or penalties imposed on HIE arising from the Consent Decree to the extent related to acts or omission of Tesoro or HIE prior to the Closing Date. Tesoro’s obligation to reimburse HIE for such fines and penalties is not subject to a monetary limitation; however, the obligation relating to fines and penalties terminates on the third anniversary of the Closing Date.

Tank Replacements. Tesoro replaced, at its expense, the existing underground storage tanks at six retail locations. The tank replacements were completed at five of the stations during 2014. The sixth location was completed during the first quarter of 2015.

Indemnification. In addition to its obligation to reimburse us for capital expenditures incurred pursuant to the Consent Decree, Tesoro agreed to indemnify us for claims and losses arising out of related breaches of Tesoro’s representations, warranties and covenants in the Environmental Agreement, certain defined “corrective actions” relating to pre-existing environmental conditions, third-party claims arising under environmental laws for personal injury or property damage arising out of or relating to releases of hazardous materials that occurred prior to the Closing Date, any fine, penalty or other cost assessed by a governmental authority in connection with violations of environmental laws by HIE prior to the Closing Date, certain groundwater remediation work, the replacement of underground storage tanks located at certain retail sites, fines or penalties imposed on HIE by the Consent Decree related to acts or omissions of Tesoro prior to the Closing Date and to claims and losses related to the Pearl City Superfund Site.

Tesoro’s indemnification obligations are subject to certain limitations as set forth in the Environmental Agreement. These limitations include a deductible of $1 million and a cap of $15 million for certain of Tesoro’s indemnification obligations related to certain pre-existing conditions as well as certain restrictions regarding the time limits for submitting notice and supporting documentation for remediation actions.

Recovery Trusts

We emerged from the reorganization of Delta Petroleum on August 31, 2012 ("Emergence Date") when the plan of reorganization ("Plan") was consummated. On the Emergence Date, we formed the Delta Petroleum General Recovery Trust

PAR PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

(“General Trust”). The General Trust was formed to pursue certain litigation against third parties, including preference actions, fraudulent transfer and conveyance actions, rights of setoff and other claims, or causes of action under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, and other claims and potential claims that the Debtors hold against third parties.

We are the beneficiary of the General Trust, subject to the terms of the respective trust agreement and the Plan. Since the Emergence Date, the General Trust has filed various claims and causes of action against third parties before the Bankruptcy Court, which actions are ongoing. Upon liquidation of the various claims and causes of action held by the General Trust, the proceeds, less certain administrative reserves and expenses, will be transferred to us. It is unknown at this time what proceeds, if any, we will realize from the General Trust’s litigation efforts.

The Plan provides that certain allowed general unsecured claims be paid with shares of our common stock. As of December 31, 2014, 27 claims totaling approximately $26.5 million remain to be resolved by the trustee for the General Trust and we have reserved approximately $1.1 million representing the estimated value of claims remaining to be settled which are deemed probable and estimable at period end. No claims were settled during the six months ended June 30, 2015 .

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , we recognized compensation costs of approximately $981 thousand and $1.6 million , respectively, in General and administrative expenses within our unaudited consolidated statements of operations related to restricted stock awards under the LTIP. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , we granted 46 thousand shares and 174 thousand shares of restricted stock with fair values of approximately $1.1 million and $3.5 million , respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , we granted approximately 9 thousand stock options and 152 thousand stock options with a weighted-average exercise price of $ 23.49 and $18.80 and a fair value of approximately $0.1 million and $1.1 million , respectively. As of June 30, 2015 , there was approximately $10.1 million of total unrecognized compensation costs related to restricted stock and stock option awards, which are expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average period of 3.18 years.

We sponsor a post-retirement medical plan to provide health care coverage continuation from the date of retirement to age 65 for qualifying employees. Employees hired before 2006 are generally eligible to participate in the plan after five years of service and reaching the age of 55 and will pay 20% of the monthly insurance premium. Employees hired after 2006 are generally eligible to participate in the plan after five years of service and reaching the age of 55 and are required to pay 100% of the monthly insurance premium; however, after 10 years of service, they are only required to pay 50% of the monthly insurance premium.

Note 13—Income (Loss) per Share

Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding and the weighted-average number of shares issuable under the common stock warrants, representing 749,148 shares and 790,683 shares as of June 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The common stock warrants are included in the calculation of basic income (loss) per share because they are issuable for minimal consideration. Non-vested restricted stock is excluded from the basic weighted-average common stock outstanding computation as these shares are not considered earned until vested. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share (in thousands, except per share amounts):

________________________________________________________


(1)	Entities with a net loss are prohibited from including potential common shares in the computation of diluted per share amounts; therefore, we have utilized the basic shares outstanding to calculate both basic and diluted loss per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 .


(2)	Participating securities includes restricted stock that has been issued but is not yet vested.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , our weighted-average potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted shares outstanding consisted of 348 thousand and 331 thousand shares of non-vested restricted stock and 24 thousand and 58 thousand stock options, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , there were 658 thousand potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of diluted shares outstanding.

Note 14—Income Taxes

In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future results of operations, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. Based upon the level of historical taxable income, significant book losses during prior periods, and projections for future results of operations over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, among other factors, management continues to conclude that we did not meet the “more likely than not” requirement in order to recognize deferred tax assets and a valuation allowance has been recorded for the full amount of our net deferred tax assets at June 30, 2015 . During the second quarter 2015, we recorded a benefit for the release of $18.6 million of our valuation allowance as we expect to be able to utilize a portion of our net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards to offset future taxable income of Mid Pac.

During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , no adjustments were recognized for uncertain tax positions.

Our net taxable income must be apportioned to various states based upon the income tax laws of the states in which we derive our revenue. Our NOL carry forwards will not always be available to offset taxable income apportioned to the various states. The states from which some of our revenues are derived are not the same states in which our NOLs were incurred; therefore

PAR PETROLEUM CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Interim Periods Ended June 30, 2015 and 2014

we expect to incur state tax liabilities on the net income of our commodity marketing and logistics segment, our refining and distribution segment and our retail segment. Excluding the impact of releasing the valuation allowance, state tax benefit was approximately $22 thousand and state tax expense was $43 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 , respectively. State income tax expense of approximately $2 thousand and $37 thousand was recognized for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 , respectively.

We will continue to assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets based on consideration of actual and projected operating results and tax planning strategies. Should actual operating results continue to improve, the amount of the deferred tax asset considered more likely than not to be realizable could be increased.

Note 15—Segment Information

We have changed our reportable segments to separate our retail operations from our refining operations due to a change in senior leadership, organizational structure, the acquisition of Mid Pac and to reflect how we currently make financial decisions and allocate resources. Beginning with the second quarter, the results of operations of Mid Pac are included in our Refining and Distribution and Retail segments. We previously reported results for the following three business segments: (i) Refining, Distribution and Marketing, (ii) Natural Gas and Oil Production and (iii) Commodity Marketing and Logistics. Effective in the first quarter of 2015, our reportable segments are: (i) Refining and Distribution, (ii) Retail, (iii) Natural Gas and Oil Production, and (iv) Commodity Marketing and Logistics.

Investment in Piceance Energy

On July 31, 2015, an unaffiliated third-party invested an aggregate $19 million in Piceance Energy in the form of cash and property. As a result of this transaction, our ownership interest decreased from 34.0% to 32.4% .

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

Overview

We are an integrated refiner and marketer based in Houston, Texas. We currently operate in four business segments:


•	refining and distribution;


•	retail;


•	natural gas and oil production; and


•	commodity marketing and logistics.

Effective in the first quarter of 2015, we changed our reportable segments to separate our retail operations from our prior refining, distribution and marketing segment due to a change in senior leadership, organizational structure, the acquisition of Mid Pac and to reflect how we currently make financial decisions and allocate resources. We previously reported results for the following three business segments: (i) Refining, Distribution and Marketing, (ii) Natural Gas and Oil Production and (iii) Commodity Marketing and Logistics. We have recast the segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 to conform to the current period presentation.

Our refining and distribution segment consists of a refinery in Kapolei, Hawaii, refined products terminals, pipelines, a single-point mooring and trucking operations which produce and distribute refined products throughout the State of Hawaii and for export globally. Our retail segment consists of retail outlets which sell gasoline, diesel, and retail merchandise throughout Hawaii. Our natural gas and oil production segment consists of natural gas and oil assets that are non-operated and are concentrated in our 34% ownership of Piceance Energy and focused on producing natural gas and natural gas liquids in Garfield and Mesa Counties, Colorado. Our commodity marketing and logistics segment focuses on sourcing, marketing, transporting, and distributing crude oil and refined products primarily within North America.

Par was created through the successful reorganization of Delta Petroleum Corporation in August 2012. The reorganization converted unsecured debt to equity and allowed us to preserve significant tax attributes.

Recent Events

Inventory Financing Agreements

On June 1, 2015, we entered into several agreements with J. Aron & Company ("J. Aron") to support the operations of our refinery (the "Supply and Offtake Agreements"). The Supply and Offtake Agreements have a term of three years with two one-year extension options upon mutual agreement of the parties. The Supply and Offtake Agreements also include a deferred payment arrangement, whereby we can defer payments owed under the agreements up to the lesser of $125 million or 85% of the eligible accounts receivable and inventory. Please read Note 7—Inventory Financing Agreements for more information.

Upon execution of the Supply and Offtake Agreements, HIE terminated its Supply and Exchange Agreements with Barclays on June 1, 2015 , subject to certain obligations to reimburse Barclays for third-party claims, and the HIE ABL Facility. During the three months ended June 30, 2015 , we recorded a loss of $19.2 million related to the termination of these financing agreements, which is included in Loss on termination of financing agreements on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. Please read Note 7—Inventory Financing Agreements for more information.

Mid Pac Acquisition and Mid Pac Credit Agreement

On June 2, 2014 , we entered into an agreement and plan of merger with Koko’oha to indirectly acquire 100% of the outstanding membership interests of Mid Pac. On April 1, 2015 , we completed the acquisition of Mid Pac for cash consideration of $73.3 million . The amount paid at closing, net of cash acquired, was $58.3 million . The cash consideration also includes advance deposits of $15.0 million paid prior to closing. In connection with the acquisition, Mid Pac's pre-existing debt of $45.3 million was fully repaid on the closing date. The acquisition and debt repayment were funded with cash on hand and $55 million of borrowings under the Mid Pac Credit Agreement. Beginning with the second quarter of 2015, the results of operations of Mid Pac are included in our Refining and Distribution and Retail segments. Please read

Results of Operations

Overview

During the three months ended June 30, 2015 , we saw our highest quarterly levels of on-island sales volumes and refinery throughput to date. Crack spreads during this period continue to be favorable to the three year average, with improvements in both finished product spreads and crude oil costs, and our operational and financial results improved. We continued to focus on optimizing our operations by entering into the Supply and Offtake Agreements, completing the Mid Pac acquisition, and making significant progress toward integrating recent acquisitions.

________________________________________________________

(1)

The profitability of our Hawaii business is heavily influenced by crack spreads in both the Singapore and West Coast markets. These markets reflect the closest, liquid market alternatives to source refined products for Hawaii. We believe the Singapore 4-1-2-1 crack spread (or four barrels of Brent crude converted into one barrel of gasoline, two barrels of distillate (gasoil and jet fuel), and one barrel of fuel oil) best reflects a market indicator for our operations. However, a portion of our sales reference the West Coast market. Calculated using a ratio of 80% Singapore and 20% San Francisco indexes.


(2)	Weighted average differentials, excluding shipping costs, of a blend of crudes with an API of 31.98 and sulphur wt% of 0.65% that is indicative of our typical crude oil mix quality.


(3)	Management uses gross refining margin per barrel to evaluate performance and compare profitability to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate gross refining margin per barrel; different companies within the industry may calculate it in different ways. We calculate gross refining margin per barrel by dividing gross refining margin

(revenues less feedstocks, purchased refined products, refinery fuel burn, and transportation and distribution costs) by total refining throughput.

(4)

Management uses production costs before DD&A expense per barrel to evaluate performance and compare efficiency to other companies in the industry. There are a variety of ways to calculate production cost before DD&A expense per barrel; different companies within the industry calculate it in different ways. We calculate production costs before DD&A expense per barrel by dividing all direct production costs by total refining throughput.


(5)	Calculated as gross refining margin less production costs before DD&A expense.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures

Management uses certain non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate our operating performance. These measures should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, and our calculations thereof may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies.

Gross Margin

Gross margin is defined as revenues less cost of revenues. We believe gross margin is an important measure of operating performance and provides useful information to investors because it eliminates the impact of volatile market prices on revenues and demonstrates the earnings potential of the business before other fixed and variable costs. In order to assess our operating performance, we compare our gross margin to industry gross margin benchmarks.

Gross margin should not be considered an alternative to operating income (loss), net cash flows from operating activities, or any other measure of financial performance or liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP. Gross margin presented by other companies may not be comparable to our presentation since each company may define this term differently.

The following table presents a reconciliation of gross margin to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, operating income (loss), on a historical basis for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) is defined as net income (loss) excluding changes in the value of contingent consideration and common stock warrants, any acquisition and integration expenses, lower of cost or market adjustments, and unrealized (gains) losses on derivatives. Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted Net Income excluding interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and equity (earnings) losses from Piceance Energy, LLC. We believe Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental financial measures to assess:


•	The financial performance of our assets without regard to financing methods, capital structure or historical cost basis;


•	The ability of our assets to generate cash to pay interest on our indebtedness; and


•	Our operating performance and return on invested capital as compared to other companies without regard to financing methods and capital structure.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income (loss), net income (loss), cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

Discussion of Results of Operations

Three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2014

Refining and Distribution Gross Margin. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , our refining and distribution gross margin was approximately $58.7 million , an increase of $48.2 million compared to $10.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 . The increase is primarily due to improved crack spreads and lower production costs resulting from lower crude oil prices. In addition, the second quarter of 2015 had higher sales volume and a higher percentage of sales of higher margin products, particularly jet fuel and gasoline, compared to the second quarter of 2014.

Retail Gross Margin. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , our retail gross margin was approximately $16.6 million , an increase of $8.6 million compared to $8.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 . The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Mid Pac on April 1, 2015.

Commodity, Marketing and Logistics Gross Margin. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , our commodity, marketing, and logistics gross margin was $1.7 million , a decrease of $0.9 million when compared to $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 . The decrease is primarily due to lower commodity prices as a result of market factors.

Natural Gas and Oil Gross Margin. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , our natural gas and oil gross margin was approximately $1.7 million , which was relatively flat when compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 .

Operating Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , operating expense was approximately $34.0 million , a decrease of $1.8 million when compared to $35.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 . The decrease is primarily due to lower energy costs resulting from lower crude oil prices.

Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization . For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , DD&A expense was approximately $5.0 million , an increase of $1.7 million compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 . The increase is primarily due to depreciation, depletion, and amortization of assets acquired as part of the Mid Pac acquisition on April 1, 2015.

General and Administrative Expense. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , general and administrative expense was approximately $11.8 million , an increase of $6.1 million when compared to $5.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 . The increase is primarily due to an increase in payroll and consulting costs. The increase in payroll costs is due to building our back office support as we exited the Transition Services Agreement with Tesoro. Previously the costs incurred under the Transition Services Agreement were included in Acquisition and Integration costs. In 2014, our consulting costs primarily related to acquisition and integration activities; however, in 2015, our consulting costs are included in general and administrative expense as they primarily relate to system modifications and process improvements related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements.

Acquisition and Integration Costs. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , acquisition and integration costs were approximately $0.5 million , a decrease of $1.9 million when compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 . The decrease is primarily due to no costs related to the integration of HIE in the three months ended June 30, 2015 partially offset by costs incurred for the acquisition of Mid Pac.

Interest Expense and Financing Costs, Net . For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , our interest expense and financing costs were approximately $5.8 million , an increase of $2.4 million when compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 . The increase was due to a higher outstanding debt balance during the period.

Loss on Termination of Financing Agreements. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , our loss on the termination of financing agreements was approximately $19.2 million , which include a loss of $17.4 million on the termination of the Barclays Supply and Exchange Agreement and a loss of $1.8 million on the termination of the HIE ABL.The loss of $17.4 million on the termination of the Supply and Exchange Agreement consists of a loss of $13.3 million for the cash settlement value of the liability and a loss of $5.6 million for the acceleration of deferred financing costs, partially offset by a $1.5 million exit free received from Barclays. The loss on the termination of the HIE ABL consists of the accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs.

Change in Value of Common Stock Warrants . For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , the change in value of common stock warrants resulted in a gain of approximately $3.3 million , a change of $3.2 million when compared to a gain of $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 . For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , our stock price decreased from $23.21 per share as of March 31, 2015 to $18.72 per share as of June 30, 2015 which resulted in an decrease in the fair value of the common stock warrants. During the three months ended June 30, 2014 , our stock price was relatively flat.

Change in Value of Contingent Consideration . For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , the change in value of our contingent consideration liability resulted in a loss of approximately $9.5 million , a change of $11.8 million when compared to a gain of $2.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 . The contingent consideration relates to the acquisition of HIE which occurred on September 25, 2013, and the change in value during the three months ended June 30, 2015 is due to an increase in our expected cash flows related to HIE during the contingency period and actual results.

Equity Losses From Piceance Energy, LLC . For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , losses from Piceance Energy were approximately $3.0 million , a change of $3.7 million compared to earnings of $760 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2014 . The loss is primarily due to lower sales prices for natural gas and condensate.

Income Taxes. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , we we recorded a benefit for the release of $18.6 million of our valuation allowance as we expect to be able to utilize a portion of our NOL carryforwards to offset future taxable income of Mid Pac. Excluding the impact of releasing the valuation allowance related to the Mid Pac deferred tax liability, state tax benefit was approximately $22 thousand, a slight increase when compared to $2 thousand of state tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2014 . The federal tax benefit or expense related to normal operations is generally offset by changes in the valuation allowance related to our NOL carryforwards.

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss). For the three months ended June 30, 2015 Adjusted EBITDA was $30.8 million compared to a $18.6 million loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 . For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was $17.1 million when compared to a $24.5 million loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 . The change is primarily related to improved crack spreads and lower energy costs resulting from lower crude oil prices.

Six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2014

Refining and Distribution Gross Margin. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , our refining and distribution gross margin was approximately $111.0 million , an increase of $81.4 million compared to $29.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 . The increase is primarily due to an increase in sales volumes of approximately 15 percent due to successful marketing efforts throughout 2014, the impact of our supply agreement with Mid Pac effective January 1, 2015, which was terminated in connection with the closing of the acquisition on April 1, 2015, and lower production costs due to lower crude oil prices. In addition, the first half of 2015 had a higher percentage of sales of higher margin products, particularly jet fuel and gasoline, compared to the first half of 2014.

Retail Gross Margin. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , our retail gross margin was approximately $29.9 million , an increase of $14.1 million compared to $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 . The increase is primarily due to the acquisition of Mid Pac on April 1, 2015 and higher sales volumes.

Commodity, Marketing and Logistics Gross Margin. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , our commodity, marketing, and logistics gross margin was $1.7 million , a decrease of $2.5 million when compared to $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 . The decrease is primarily due to lower rail car revenues and transportation margin due to market conditions and lower pipeline revenues due to the expiration of certain contracts.

Natural Gas and Oil Gross Margin. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , our natural gas and oil gross margin was approximately $2.2 million , a decrease of $1.2 million when compared to $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 .

Depreciation, Depletion, and Amortization . For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , DD&A expense was approximately $8.3 million , an increase of $1.9 million compared to $6.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 . The increase is primarily due to depreciation, depletion, and amortization of assets acquired as part of the Mid Pac acquisition on April 1, 2015.

General and Administrative Expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , general and administrative expense was approximately $21.9 million , an increase of $11.2 million when compared to $10.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 . The increase is primarily due to an increase in payroll and consulting costs. The increase in payroll costs is due to building our back office support as we exited the Transition Services Agreement with Tesoro. Previously the costs incurred under the Transition Services Agreement were included in Acquisition and Integration costs. In 2014, our consulting costs primarily related to acquisition and integration activities; however, in 2015, our consulting costs are included in general and administrative expense as they primarily relate to system modifications and process improvements related to the Supply and Offtake Agreements.

Acquisition and Integration Costs. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , acquisition and integration costs were approximately $1.5 million , a decrease of $3.8 million when compared to $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 . The decrease is primarily due to no costs related to the integration of HIE in the six months ended June 30, 2015 partially offset by costs incurred for the Mid Pac acquisition.

Interest Expense and Financing Costs, Net . For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , our interest expense and financing costs were approximately $11.4 million , an increase of $4.5 million when compared to $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 . The increase was due to a higher outstanding debt balance during the period.

Change in Value of Common Stock Warrants .

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 , our stock price decreased from $22.30 per share on December 31, 2013 to $20.25 per share on June 30, 2014 which resulted in a decrease in the value of the common stock warrants.

Change in Value of Contingent Consideration . For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , the change in value of our contingent consideration liability resulted in a loss of approximately $14.4 million , a change of $19.2 million when compared to a gain of $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 . The contingent consideration relates to the acquisition of HIE which occurred on September 25, 2013, and the change in value during the six months ended June 30, 2015 is due to an increase in our expected cash flows related to HIE during the contingency period based on our actual results.

Loss on Termination of Financing Agreements. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , our loss on the termination of financing agreements was approximately $19.2 million , which include a loss of $17.4 million on the termination of the Barclays Supply and Exchange Agreement and a loss of $1.8 million on the termination of the HIE ABL.The loss of $17.4 million on the termination of the Supply and Exchange Agreement consists of a loss of $13.3 million for the cash settlement value of the liability and a loss of $5.6 million for the acceleration of deferred financing costs, partially offset by a $1.5 million exit free received from Barclays. The loss on the termination of the HIE ABL consists of the accelerated amortization of deferred financing costs.

Equity Losses From Piceance Energy, LLC . For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , losses from Piceance Energy were approximately $4.8 million , a change of $5.3 million compared to earnings of $0.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 . The loss is primarily due to lower sales prices for natural gas and condensate.

Income Taxes. For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we recorded a benefit for the release of $18.6 million of our valuation allowance as we expect to be able to utilize a portion of our net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards to offset future taxable income of Mid Pac. Excluding the impact of releasing the valuation allowance related to the Mid Pac deferred tax liability, state tax expense was approximately $43 thousand , a slight increase when compared to $37 thousand of state tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 .

Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Net Income (Loss). For the six months ended June 30, 2015 Adjusted EBITDA was $53.2 million compared to a $27.5 million loss for the three months ended June 30, 2014 . For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , Adjusted Net Income (Loss) was $28.8 million compared to a $40.3 million loss for the six months ended June 30, 2014 . The change is primarily related to improved crack spreads and lower energy costs resulting from lower crude oil prices.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our liquidity and capital requirements are primarily a function of our debt maturities and debt service requirements, fixed capacity payments and contractual obligations, capital expenditures and working capital needs. Examples of working capital needs include purchases and sales of commodities and associated margin and collateral requirements, facility maintenance costs and other costs such as payroll. Our primary sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, cash on hand, amounts available under our credit agreements, and access to capital markets.

The following table summarizes our liquidity position as of August 3, 2015 and June 30, 2015 (in thousands):



August 3, 2015	HIE		HIE Retail		Mid Pac		Texadian		Corporate and Other		Total

Total available liquidity	$	81,437	$	4,715	$	12,331	$	32,690	$	10,853	$	142,026

The change in our liquidity position from June 30, 2015 to August 3, 2015 was primarily attributable to the refund of certain prepayments made in connection with the transition to the J. Aron Supply and Offtake Agreements, an increase in the borrowing base of the Texadian Uncommitted Credit Agreement and results of operations.

As of June 30, 2015 , we had access to the J. Aron Deferred Payment Arrangement, the Mid Pac Revolving Credit Facility, the Texadian Uncommitted Credit Agreement and cash on hand of $78.2 million . In addition, we have the Supply and Offtake Agreements with J. Aron to finance the majority of the inventory of our refinery. Generally, the primary uses of our capital resources have been in the operations of our refining and distribution segment, our retail segment, our commodity marketing and logistics segment, payments related to the acquisition of Mid Pac, cash capital contributions to Piceance Energy and payments of operating expenses related to our natural gas and oil assets.

We believe our cash flows from operations and available capital resources will be sufficient to meet our current capital expenditures, working capital and debt service requirements for the next 12 months. Additionally, we may seek to raise additional debt or equity capital to fund any other significant changes to our business or to refinance existing debt. We cannot offer any assurances that such capital will be available in sufficient amounts or at an acceptable cost.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes cash activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities	$	98,611		$	(73,180	)
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(100,671	)	$	(16,491	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities	$	(8,947	)	$	69,461

Net cash provided by operating activities was approximately $98.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 , which resulted from net income of approximately $12.2 million , non-cash charges to operations of approximately $42.7 million and net cash provided by changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $43.7 million . Net cash used in operating activities was approximately $73.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 , which resulted from a net loss of approximately $39.2 million offset by non-cash charges to operations of approximately $5.9 million and net cash used for changes in operating assets and liabilities of approximately $39.9 million .

For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , net cash used in investing activities was approximately $100.7 million and primarily related to $63.3 million for the acquisition of Mid Pac, an investment in Piceance Energy of $27.5 million and additions to property and equipment totaling approximately $9.9 million . Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and was primarily related to the Mid Pac acquisition deposit of $10 million and additions to property and equipment of approximately $5.9 million .

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $8.9 million and consisted primarily of net repayments of borrowings and payments of loan costs of approximately $23.3 million . These repayments were partially offset by net cash proceeds of $14.1 million due to the change in the inventory financing agreements from the Barclays Supply and Exchange Agreement to the J. Aron Supply and Offtake Agreements. Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 was approximately $69.5 million and consisted of $47.2 million in proceeds from the Supply and Exchange Agreements to fund a deposit with a crude oil supplier, $13.2 million borrowed under the Term Loan used to fund the Mid Pac acquisition deposit, and incremental borrowings under the ABL Facility and the Retail Revolver.

Capital Expenditures

Our capital expenditures excluding acquisitions for the six months ended June 30, 2015 totaled approximately $9.9 million and were primarily related to our refinery and information technology systems. Our total capital expenditure budget for 2015 ranges from $45 to $50 million and primarily relates to projects to improve our refinery reliability and efficiency, upgrades to our information technology systems, and approximately $28 million for investments in Piceance Energy. The investments in Piceance Energy were made during the first half of 2015.

Additional capital may be required to maintain our interests at our Point Arguello Unit offshore California, but production is not economic in the current low-price environment and we are not able to estimate the amount of any potential capital requirement. We also continue to seek strategic investments in business opportunities, but the amount and timing of those investments are not predictable.

Commitments and Contingencies

Supply and Offtake Agreements

On June 1, 2015, we entered into several agreements with J. Aron & Company ("J. Aron") to support the operations of our refinery, (the "Supply and Offtake Agreements"). The Supply and Offtake Agreements have a term of three years and two one-year extension options at the mutual agreement of the parties. Please read Note 7—Inventory Financing Agreements for more information.

Consent Decree

Tesoro is currently negotiating a Consent Decree with the EPA and the United States Department of Justice concerning alleged violations of the federal Clean Air Act related to the ownership and operation of multiple facilities owned or formerly owned by Tesoro and its affiliates, including our refinery. It is anticipated that the Consent Decree will be finalized sometime during 2015 and will require certain capital improvements to our refinery to reduce emissions of air pollutants.

We estimate the cost of compliance with the final Consent Decree could be $20 million to $25 million . However, Tesoro is responsible under the Environmental Agreement for reimbursing HIE for all reasonable third-party capital expenditures incurred for the construction, installation, and commissioning of such capital projects and for the payment of any fines or penalties imposed on HIE arising from the Consent Decree to the extent related to acts or omission of Tesoro or HIE prior to the Closing Date. Tesoro’s obligation to reimburse HIE for such fines and penalties is not subject to a monetary limitation; however, the obligation relating to fines and penalties terminates on the third anniversary of the Closing Date. Please read Note 10—Commitments and Contingencies for more information.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Changes in commodity prices, purchased fuel prices, and interest rates are our primary sources of market risk. We may use derivative instruments to manage these risks or to capture market opportunities.

Commodity Price Risk

Our earnings, cash flow and liquidity are significantly affected by a variety of factors beyond our control, including the supply of, and demand for, crude oil, other feedstocks, refined products and natural gas. The supply of and demand for these commodities depend on, among other factors, changes in domestic and foreign economies, weather conditions, domestic and foreign political affairs, planned and unplanned downtime in refineries, pipelines and production facilities, production levels, the availability of imports, the marketing of competitive and alternative fuels, and the extent of government regulation. As a result, the prices of these commodities can be volatile. Our revenues fluctuate significantly with movements in industry refined product prices and our cost of revenues fluctuates significantly with movements in crude oil and feedstock prices. Assuming all other factors remain constant, a $1 per barrel change in average gross refining margins, based on our quarter-to-date throughput of 80.8 thousand barrels per day, would change annualized operating income by approximately $29.4 million. This analysis may differ from actual results.

In order to manage commodity price risks, we utilize exchange-traded futures and options contracts, and OTC swaps to manage commodity price risks associated with:


•	the difference between the prices for which we sell our refined products and the prices we pay for crude oil and other feed stocks;


•	our refined products inventory outside of the Supply and Offtake Agreements;


•	our fuel requirements for our refinery;


•	our exposure to crude oil price volatility in our commodity marketing and logistics segment.

Our Supply and Offtake Agreements with J.Aron require us to hedge our exposure based on the time spread between the period between crude oil cargo pricing and the expected delivery month. We manage this exposure by entering into swaps with J.Aron. Please read

Note 7—Inventory Financing Agreements for more information.

All of our financial derivative instruments are executed to economically hedge our physical commodity purchases, sales, and inventory. Our open commodity derivative contracts expire at various dates through March 31, 2016. At June 30, 2015 , we had open commodity derivative contracts representing:


•	Futures purchases of 150 thousand barrels that economically hedge our forecasted sales of refined products;


•	Swap sales of 445 thousand barrels that economically hedge our refined products inventory; and


•	Futures sales of 118 thousand barrels that economically hedge our physical inventory for our marketing and logistics business.

Based on our net open positions at June 30, 2015, a $1 change in the price of crude oil, assuming all other factors remain constant, would change the fair value of our derivative instruments and cost of revenues by approximately $500 thousand.

Our predominant variable operating cost is the cost of fuel consumed in the refining process, which is included in Cost of revenues on our consolidated statement of operations. Assuming normal operating conditions, we consume approximately 75 thousand barrels a month of crude oil during the refining process. We have economically hedged 52 thousand barrels per month of internally consumed fuel cost using costless collars with weighted average strike prices ranging from a floor of $58.93 per barrel to a ceiling of $68.24 per barrel through March 2016 .

Compliance Program Price Risk

We are exposed to market risks related to the volatility in the price of RINs required to comply with the Renewable Fuel Standard. Our overall RINs obligation is based on a percentage of our domestic shipments of on-road fuels as established by the EPA. To the degree we are unable to blend the required amount of biofuels to satisfy our RINs obligation, we must purchase RINs on the open market. To mitigate the impact of this risk on our results of operations and cash flows we may purchase RINs when the price of these instruments is deemed favorable. Some of these contracts are derivative instruments, however, we elect the NPNS exception and do not record these contracts at their fair values.

Interest Rate Risk

As of June 30, 2015 , $78 million of outstanding debt was subject to floating interest rates. We also have interest rate exposure in connection with our liability under the J. Aron Supply and Offtake Agreements, for which we pay a charge based on a 3-month LIBOR. An increase of 1% in the variable rate on our indebtedness, after considering the instruments subject to minimum interest rates, would result in an increase to our cost of revenues and interest expense of approximately $3.0 million per year and $1.1 million , respectively.

Credit Risk

We are subject to risk of losses resulting from nonpayment or nonperformance by our counterparties. We will

continue to closely monitor the creditworthiness of customers to whom we grant credit and establish credit limits in accordance with our credit policy.

In connection with the preparation of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as of June 30, 2015 , an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2015 , these disclosure controls and procedures were effective and designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported on a timely basis.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2015 , we established internal controls to monitor our economic hedging strategies resulting from our Supply and Offtake Agreements. There were no other changes during the quarter ended June 30, 2015 in our

internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financing reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of our operations in the normal course of our business. Please read

Note 10—Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

Kawaihae Loading Rack

On October 9, 2014, Mid Pac received a notice from the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the "EPA") alleging that Mid Pac had violated the Clean Air Act at its terminal located in Kawaihae, Hawaii by "failing to equip its loading rack with pollution controls" and by "failing to limit emissions from its loading rack," and advising Mid Pac that the matter had been referred to the United States Department of Justice ("DOJ"). The DOJ has proposed civil penalties of approximately $700 thousand. Subsequently, Mid Pac and the DOJ entered into a tolling agreement to facilitate settlement discussions. Mid Pac disputes the EPA's allegations. On April 1, 2015 , we acquired Mid Pac. While we are unable at this time to quantify the ultimate exposure, we believe an adverse determination could result in fines and penalties in excess of $100 thousand.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes from the risk factors included under Part I, Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

There were no sales of equity securities during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 that were not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

We have not paid dividends on our common stock, and we do not expect to do so in the foreseeable future. Our current debt agreements restrict the payment of dividends. In addition, as long as any obligations remain outstanding under the Term Loan, we are prohibited from paying dividends.
