5 Notes to the Statements of Operations of Sarnia Downstream Pipeline System For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 On April 1, 2012, ( Plains ) acquired all of the outstanding shares of BP Canada Energy Company ( BPCEC ), a wholly owned subsidiary of BP Corporation North America Inc., from Amoco Canada International Holdings B.V. On completion of this acquisition, Plains became the owner of all BPCEC natural gas liquids ( NGL ) business, which includes varying ownership interests and contractual rights relating to NGL pipelines, including the Sarnia Downstream Pipeline System. As a result, the information presented for 2011 is for comparative purposes only and has not been audited. At completion of this business combination, the assets and liabilities acquired were initially measured and recorded at fair value. 1 Nature of operations The Sarnia Downstream Pipeline System ( SDS ) consists of an 8 NGL and an 8 condensate pipeline. The 8 NGL line ships product from the Sarnia Fractionation Plant to the St Clair Terminal and the Marysville Underground Storage Terminal, both in Michigan, as well as connecting to the Sun Canadian Pipeline System in the Sarnia area. The 8 condensate line connects the Sarnia Fractionation Plant to the Suncor Refinery at Corunna and to the Enbridge Pipeline System in Sarnia. 2 Significant accounting policies This financial information is presented in accordance with the Oil Pipeline Uniform Accounting Regulations of the National Energy Board Act, as interpreted to reflect the fact that the Sarnia Downstream Pipeline System (SDS) is not a stand-alone entity, but rather a component of Plains. Therefore, the Sarnia Downstream Pipeline System (SDS) does not maintain a complete set of financial statements and consequently this filing includes only Statements of Operations and supplemental financial data relating to capital assets as described in Note 3. Management has approved and authorized the issuance of these Statements of Operations on May 30, a) Revenue recognition Pipeline tariff revenue is recognized at the time that NGL is transported through the pipeline. b) Capital assets Capital assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. On April 1, 2012, the cost for the Sarnia Downstream Pipeline System was measured and recorded at fair value. Costs are amortized on a straight-line basis at rates calculated to amortize the cost of the assets over their estimated useful lives as follows: Pipelines and Rights of Way Equipment 70 years 15 years

6 Notes to the Statements of Operations of Sarnia Downstream Pipeline System For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 c) Use of estimates The preparation of financial information in accordance with Oil Pipeline Uniform Accounting Regulations requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting years presented. Due to uncertainties inherent in determining estimates and assumptions, it is reasonably possible that actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions in the near term. 3 Capital assets Fair value at April 1, 2012 $ 2,076 Depreciation (3 ) 2012 Closing net book value $ 2,046 As the capital assets were classified as Held for Sale by BPCEC until the acquisition by Plains on April 1, 2012, no depreciation was recorded during 2011 and January 1 to March 31, Accordingly, these Statements of Operations only reflect depreciation from date of acquisition.
