     During the call, those statements we make that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements. We believe the assumptions underlying these statements are reasonable, but caution you that such forward-looking statements involve risks that may affect our business prospects and performance, causing actual results to differ from those discussed during the conference call. Such risks include, among other things: general business and economic conditions; increased competition; changes in demand for crude oil and refined products that we store and distribute; loss of a major customer; changes in our tariff rates, implemented by federal and/or state regulators; changes in throughput of third-party pipelines that connect to our refined product pipelines and terminals; changes in the condition of debt and equity capital markets in the United States; the amount of our indebtedness and restrictive covenants in our or Sunoco, Inc.’s credit agreements; our ability to control costs and manage growth; the effects of changes in accounting principles; changes in operating conditions and costs; changes in the level of environmental remediation spending; potential equipment malfunction; potential labor relations problems; the legislative or regulatory environment; plant construction/repair delays; and political and economic conditions, including the impact of potential terrorist acts and international hostilities.

     These and other applicable risks and uncertainties are described more fully in our December 31, 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 7, 2003. We undertake no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information or future events.
