Notes:

 

  1. NuStar GP Holdings, LLC utilizes distributable cash flow as a financial measure which is not defined in United States generally accepted accounting principles. Management uses this financial measure because it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by investors to compare general partner performance. In addition, management believes that this measure provides investors an enhanced perspective of the ability to make a minimum quarterly distribution. Distributable cash flow is not intended to represent cash flows for the period, nor is it presented as an alternative to net income. It should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for a measure of performance prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles.

The following is a reconciliation of net income to distributable cash to net cash provided by operating activities:

     (16,996 )     (14,223 )

Cash distribution of equity earnings received from NuStar Energy L.P.

     15,754       9,557  

Net effect of changes in operating accounts

     (849 )     1,216  
                

Net cash provided by operating activities

   $ 14,154     $ 10,013  
                

 

  2. NuStar Energy L.P.'s net income allocation to general and limited partners reflected total cash distributions based upon the partnership interests outstanding as of March 31, 2008. NuStar Energy L.P. issued approximately 5.1 million common units in April 2008. Actual distribution payments are made within 45 days after the end of each quarter as of a record date that is set after the end of each quarter. As such, the general partner’s portion of the actual cash payment made with respect to the first quarter 2008, including the incentive distribution rights, will be greater than the net income allocation to the general partner.
