SUNOCO LOGISTICS PARTNERS L.P.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

1.	Basis of Presentation

Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. (the “Partnership”) is a Delaware limited partnership formed by Sunoco, Inc. (“Sunoco”) in October 2001 to acquire, own and operate a substantial portion of Sunoco’s logistics business, consisting of refined product pipelines, terminalling and storage assets, crude oil pipelines, and crude oil acquisition and marketing assets located in the Northeast, Midwest and South Central United States. Sunoco, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries including Sunoco, Inc. (R&M) are collectively referred to as “Sunoco”. The consolidated financial statements reflect the results of Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. and its wholly-owned partnerships, including Sunoco Logistics Partners Operations L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). Equity ownership interests in corporate joint ventures, which are not consolidated, are accounted for under the equity method.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of Form 10-Q and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial reporting. They do not include all disclosures normally made in financial statements contained in Form 10-K. In management’s opinion, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows for the periods shown have been made. The Partnership expects the interim increase in quantities of inventory to significantly reduce by year end and therefore, has adjusted its interim LIFO calculation to produce a reasonable matching of most recently incurred costs with current revenues. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except for the impairment charge recognized in 2008 (Note 5). Results for the six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year 2009. Subsequent events have been evaluated through August 5, 2009, the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

For purposes of comparability, certain prior year amounts, specifically our segment reporting structure as further discussed in Note 12, have been recast to conform to the current year presentation. Such recasts have no impact on previously reported consolidated net income.

2.	Acquisitions

MagTex Refined Products Pipeline System Acquisition

In November 2008, the Partnership purchased a refined products pipeline system from affiliates of Exxon Mobil Corporation for approximately $185.4 million. The system consists of approximately 280 miles of refined products pipeline originating in Beaumont and Port Arthur and terminating in Hearne, Texas; approximately 200 miles of refined products pipeline originating in Beaumont and terminating in Waskom, Texas; and refined product terminal facilities located in Hearne, Hebert, Waco, Center and Waskom, Texas and Arcadia, Louisiana with active storage capacity of 0.5 million shell barrels. The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based on their relative fair values on the acquisition date.

3.	Related Party Transactions

Advances to/from Affiliate

The Partnership has a treasury services agreement with Sunoco pursuant to which it, among other things, participates in Sunoco’s centralized cash management program. Under this program, all of the Partnership’s cash receipts and cash disbursements are processed, together with those of Sunoco and its other subsidiaries, through Sunoco’s cash accounts with a corresponding credit or charge to an intercompany account. The intercompany balances are settled periodically, but no less frequently than monthly. Amounts due from Sunoco earn interest at a rate equal to the average rate of the Operating Partnership’s third-party money market investments, while amounts due to Sunoco bear interest at a rate equal to the interest rate provided in the Partnership’s $400 million Credit Facility (see Note 7).

Administrative Services

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income include costs incurred by Sunoco for the provision of certain centralized corporate functions such as legal, accounting, treasury, engineering, information technology, insurance and other corporate services, including the administration of employee benefit plans. These are provided to the Partnership under an omnibus agreement (“Omnibus Agreement”) with Sunoco for an annual administrative fee. The fee for the annual period ended December 31, 2008 was $6.0 million. In January 2009, the parties extended the term of Section 4.1 of the Omnibus Agreement (which concerns the Partnership’s obligation to pay the annual fee for provision of certain general and administrative services) by one year. The annual administrative fee applicable to this one-year extension remains at $6.0 million.

These costs may be increased if the acquisition or construction of new assets or businesses requires an increase in the level of general and administrative services received by the Partnership. There can be no assurance that Section 4.1 of the Omnibus Agreement will be extended beyond 2009, or that, if extended, the administrative fee charged by Sunoco will be at or below the current administrative fee. In the event that the Partnership is unable to obtain such services from Sunoco or third parties at or below the current cost, the Partnership’s financial condition and results of operations may be adversely impacted.

The annual administrative fee does not include the costs of shared insurance programs, which are allocated to the Partnership based upon its share of the cash premiums incurred. This fee also does not include salaries of pipeline and terminal personnel or other employees of the general partner, or the cost of their employee benefits. These employees are employees of the Partnership’s general partner or its affiliates, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Sunoco. The Partnership has no employees. Allocated Sunoco employee benefit plan expenses for employees who work in the pipeline, terminalling, storage and crude oil gathering operations, including senior executives, include non-contributory defined benefit retirement plans, defined contribution 401(k) plans, employee and retiree medical, dental and life insurance plans, incentive compensation plans, and other such benefits. The Partnership is reimbursing Sunoco for these costs and other direct expenses incurred on its behalf. These expenses are reflected in cost of products sold and operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Affiliated Revenues and Accounts Receivable, Affiliated Companies

Affiliated revenues in the statements of income consist of sales of crude oil, as well as the provision of crude oil, and refined product pipeline transportation, terminalling and storage services to Sunoco. Sales of crude oil are priced using market based rates. Pipeline revenues are generally determined using posted tariffs. In 2002, the Partnership entered into a pipelines and terminals storage and throughput agreement with Sunoco R&M, under which Sunoco R&M agreed to pay the Partnership a minimum level of revenues for transporting refined products and agreed to minimum levels of storage and throughput of crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas. In February 2007, certain obligations under the pipelines and terminals storage and throughput agreement relating to throughput of refined products through the Partnership’s terminals and to the Marcus Hook Tank Farm expired. On March 1, 2007 the Partnership entered into (i) a new five year product terminal services agreement with Sunoco R&M under which Sunoco R&M may throughput refined products through the Partnership’s terminals, and (ii) a new tank farm agreement under which Sunoco R&M may throughput refined products through the Partnership’s Marcus Hook Tank Farm. These new agreements contain no minimum throughput obligations for Sunoco R&M. In May 2009, Sunoco R&M’s crude oil storage and throughput commitments at the Fort Mifflin Terminal and the Inkster Terminal expired. The Partnership is currently operating under a month-to-month agreement to provide services at these facilities and expects to finalize a new agreement during the third quarter of 2009.

Sunoco also leases the Partnership’s 58 miles of interrefinery pipelines between Sunoco’s Philadelphia and Marcus Hook refineries for a term of 20 years.

Capital Contributions

The Partnership has agreements with Sunoco which require Sunoco to, among other things, reimburse the Partnership for certain expenditures. These agreements include:

•

the Interrefinery Lease Agreement, which requires Sunoco to reimburse the Partnership for any non-routine maintenance expenditures incurred, as defined through February 2022; and

•

the Eagle Point purchase agreements, which require Sunoco to reimburse the Partnership for certain capital improvement projects incurred regarding the assets acquired. On January 24, 2008 Sunoco and the Partnership entered into an Amended and Restated Dock and Terminal Throughput Agreement for the Eagle Point logistics assets. Pursuant to the amended agreement the Partnership is obligated to make certain capital improvements to the Eagle Point docks. The term for the parties’ obligations with respect to the docks has been extended from March 31, 2016 to December 31, 2026. The rates to be paid by Sunoco for throughput across the docks have been modified to reflect the capital improvements, and the rates escalate annually based on the Consumer Price Index. Sunoco’s throughput obligations across the docks remain unchanged. The parties’ obligations with respect to the Eagle Point terminal remain unchanged except that the throughput rates escalate annually based on the increase in the Consumer Price Index.

During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Partnership was reimbursed $1.9 million, associated with these agreements. The Partnership did not receive a reimbursement for the six months ended June 30, 2009. The reimbursement received in 2008 was recorded by the Partnership as a capital contribution to Partners’ Capital within the condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2009.

In February 2009 and 2008 the Partnership issued 0.1 million common units in each period to participants in the Sunoco Partners LLC Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) upon completion of award vesting requirements. As a result of these issuances of common units, the general partner contributed $0.1 million in each period to the Partnership to maintain its 2.0 percent general partner interest. The Partnership recorded these amounts as capital contributions to Partners’ Capital within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In April and May 2009 the Partnership completed a public offering of 2.25 million common units. Net proceeds of approximately $109.5 million were used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Partnership’s $400 million Credit Facility and for general partnership purposes. As a result of these offerings of common units, the general partner contributed $2.3 million to the Partnership to maintain its 2.0 percent general partner interest.

4.	Net Income Per Unit Data

On January 1, 2009 the Partnership adopted Emerging Issues Task Force No. 07-4 Application of the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, to Master Limited Partnerships (“EITF 07-4”). EITF 07-4 requires incentive distribution rights (“IDRs”) in a master limited partnership to be treated as participating securities for the purpose of computing earnings per unit. EITF 07-4 also requires that when earnings differ from cash distributions, undistributed or over distributed earnings are to be allocated to the IDR holders, the general partner, and limited partners based on the contractual terms of the partnership agreement. Previously, earnings per unit was calculated as if all earnings for the period had been distributed, which resulted in an additional allocation of income to the general partner (the IDR holder) in quarterly periods where earnings exceeded the actual distribution. As a result of adopting EITF 07-4, the Partnership’s net income per unit on both a basic and diluted basis increased $0.27 and $0.34 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. Basic and diluted net income per limited partner unit is calculated by dividing net income, after deducting the amount allocated to the general partner’s interest and incentive distribution rights, by the weighted-average number of limited partner common units outstanding during the period. For comparative purposes, prior year net income per unit data has been adjusted accordingly.

The general partner’s interest in net income consists of its 2.0 percent general partner interest and “incentive distributions”, which are increasing percentages, up to 50 percent of quarterly distributions in excess of $0.50 per limited partner unit (see Note 11). The general partner was allocated net income of $13.0 million (representing 19.5 percent of total net income for the period) and $8.9 million (representing 17.4 percent of total net income for the period) for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $25.5 million (representing 17.3 percent of total net income for the period) and $16.5 million (representing 18.5 percent of total net income for the period) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Diluted net income per limited partner unit is calculated by dividing net income applicable to limited partners’ by the sum of the weighted-average number of common and subordinated units outstanding and the dilutive effect of incentive unit awards, as calculated by the treasury stock method.

The following table sets forth the reconciliation of the weighted average number of limited partner units used to compute basic net income per limited partner unit to those used to compute diluted net income per limited partner unit for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:


	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
	2009	2008	2009	2008
Weighted average number of limited partner units outstanding – basic	30,551,349	28,657,485	29,628,856	28,642,571
Add effect of dilutive unit incentive awards	204,675	182,777	201,138	180,575

Weighted average number of limited partner units – diluted	30,756,024	28,840,262	29,829,994	28,823,146

5.	Impairment Charge

Long-lived assets other than those held for sale are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. In the first quarter of 2008, the Partnership recognized an impairment of $5.7 million related to management’s decision to discontinue efforts to expand liquefied petroleum gas storage capacity at its Inkster, Michigan facility. The impairment charge reflects the entire cost associated with the project.

6.	Investment in Affiliates

The Partnership’s ownership percentages in corporate joint ventures as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 were as follows:


	Partnership Ownership Percentage
Explorer Pipeline Company	9.4	%
West Shore Pipe Line Company	12.3	%
Yellowstone Pipe Line Company	14.0	%
Wolverine Pipe Line Company	31.5	%
West Texas Gulf Pipe Line Company	43.8	%
Mid-Valley Pipeline Company⁽¹⁾	55.3	%

⁽¹⁾	The Partnership’s interest in the Mid-Valley Pipeline Company includes 50 percent voting rights.

The following table provides summarized combined statement of income data on a 100 percent basis for the Partnership’s corporate joint venture interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 (in thousands of dollars):

Non-current liabilities	$	581,209	$	591,101
Net equity	$	119,382	$	83,026

The Partnership’s investments in Wolverine, West Shore, Yellowstone, and West Texas Gulf at June 30, 2009 include an excess investment amount of approximately $53.3 million, net of accumulated amortization of $4.2 million. The excess investment is the difference between the investment balance and the Partnership’s proportionate share of the net assets of the entities. The excess investment was allocated to the underlying tangible and intangible assets. Other than land and indefinite-lived intangible assets, all amounts allocated, principally to pipeline and related assets, are amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated useful life of 40 years and included within depreciation and amortization in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

8.75% Senior Notes

In February 2009, the Operating Partnership issued $175 million of 8.75 percent Senior Notes, due February 15, 2014 (“2014 Senior Notes”). The 2014 Senior Notes are redeemable, at a make-whole premium, and are not subject to sinking fund provisions. The 2014 Senior Notes contain various covenants limiting the Operating Partnership’s ability to incur certain liens, engage in sale/leaseback transactions, or merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of its assets. The net proceeds of $173.4 million from the 2014 Senior Notes, were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the Operating Partnership’s $400 million Credit Facility.

$400 Million Credit Facility

The Operating Partnership has a five-year $400 million revolving credit facility (“$400 million Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of 10 participating financial institutions. The $400 million Credit Facility is available to fund the Operating Partnership’s working capital requirements, to finance future acquisitions, to finance future capital projects and for general partnership purposes. The $400 million Credit Facility matures in November 2012 and may be prepaid at any time. It bears interest at the Operating Partnership’s option, at either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, (ii) the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent or the Citibank prime rate (each plus the applicable margin) or (iii) the federal funds rate plus an applicable margin. The $400 million Credit Facility contains various covenants limiting the Operating Partnership’s ability to incur indebtedness; grant certain liens; make certain loans, acquisitions and investments; make any material change to the nature of its business; acquire another company; or enter into a merger or sale of assets, including the sale or transfer of interests in the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries. The $400 million Credit Facility also limits the Operating Partnership, on a rolling four-quarter basis, to a maximum total debt to EBITDA ratio of 4.75 to 1, which can generally be increased to 5.25 to 1 during an acquisition period. The Operating Partnership is in compliance with this requirement as of June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009 there were $229.7 million of outstanding borrowings under the $400 million Credit Facility.

$100 Million Credit Facility

In anticipation of the MagTex Acquisition, the Operating Partnership, entered into a $100 million 364-day revolving credit facility (“$100 million Credit Facility”) on May 28, 2008. During the second quarter of 2009 the $100 million Credit Facility expired and was not renewed by the Partnership.

$62.5 Million Credit Facility

On March 13, 2009, the Operating Partnership entered into a $62.5 million revolving credit facility (“$62.5 million Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of 2 participating financial institutions. The $62.5 million Credit Facility is available to fund the Operating Partnership’s working capital requirements, to finance future acquisitions and for general partnership purposes. The $62.5 million Credit Facility matures in September 2011 and may be prepaid at any time. It bears interest at the Operating Partnership’s option, at either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin or (ii) the higher of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent plus an applicable margin, (b) Toronto Dominion’s prime rate plus an applicable margin or (c) LIBOR plus 1.0 percent plus an applicable margin. The $62.5 million Credit Facility contains various covenants similar to the $400 million credit facility and limits the Operating Partnership, on a rolling four-quarter basis, to a maximum debt to EBITDA ratio of 4.0 to 1, which can generally be increased to 4.5 to 1 during an acquisition period. The Operating Partnership is in compliance with this requirement as of June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009 there were $31.3 million of outstanding borrowings under the $62.5 million Credit Facility.

Interest Rate Swap

The Partnership uses interest rate swaps, a type of derivative financial instrument, to manage interest costs and minimize the effects of interest rate fluctuations on cash flows associated with its credit facility. The Partnership does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. While interest rate swaps are subject to fluctuations in value, these fluctuations are generally offset by the value of the underlying exposures being hedged. The Partnership minimizes the risk of credit loss by entering into these agreements with major financial institutions that have high credit ratings. The Partnership accounts for its interest rate swaps in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (“SFAS 133”), which requires that all derivatives be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value. SFAS 133 also requires that changes in the fair value be recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income (loss), depending on whether a derivative has been designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, depending on the type of hedge transaction. Interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges. Changes in the fair value of a cash flow hedge, to the extent the hedge is effective, are recorded, net of tax, in other comprehensive income (loss), a component of Partners’ capital, until earnings are affected by the variability of the hedged cash flows. Cash flow hedge ineffectiveness, defined as the extent that the changes in the fair value of the derivative exceed the variability of cash flows of the forecasted transaction, is recorded currently in earnings.

In January 2008, the Partnership entered into a $50.0 million floating to fixed interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap”), maturing January 2010. Under the Swap, the Partnership receives interest equivalent to the three-month LIBOR and pays a fixed rate of interest of 3.489 percent with settlements occurring quarterly. The objective of the hedge is to eliminate the variability of cash flows in interest payments for $50.0 million of floating rate debt. To maintain hedge accounting for the Swap, the Partnership is committed to maintaining at least $50.0 million in borrowings at an interest rate based on the three-month LIBOR, plus an applicable margin, through January 2010. The Swap’s fair value was an accrued liability of $0.8 million as of June 30, 2009, and the corresponding change in fair value is included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of Partners’ equity.

8.	Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

The Partnership is subject to numerous federal, state and local laws which regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or that otherwise relate to the protection of the environment. These laws and regulations result in liabilities and loss contingencies for remediation at the Partnership’s facilities and at third-party or formerly owned sites. At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, there were accrued liabilities for environmental remediation in the condensed consolidated balance sheets of $3.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively. The accrued liabilities for environmental remediation do not include any amounts attributable to unasserted claims, nor have any recoveries from insurance been assumed. Charges against income for environmental remediation totaled $1.8 million and $0.3 million for the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $2.5 million and $0.5 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Total future costs for environmental remediation activities will depend upon, among other things, the identification of any additional sites, the determination of the extent of the contamination at each site, the timing and nature of required remedial actions, the technology available and needed to meet the various existing legal requirements, the nature and extent of future environmental laws, inflation rates and the determination of the Partnership’s liability at multi-party sites, if any, in light of uncertainties with respect to joint and several liability, and the number, participation levels and financial viability of other parties. As discussed below, the Partnership’s current and future costs have been and will be impacted by an indemnification from Sunoco.

The Partnership is a party to certain pending and threatened claims. Although the ultimate outcome of these claims cannot be ascertained at this time, it is reasonably possible that some portion of them could be resolved unfavorably to the Partnership and its predecessor. Management does not believe that any liabilities which may arise from such claims and the environmental matters discussed above would be material in relation to the financial position of the Partnership at June 30, 2009. Furthermore, management does not believe that the overall costs for such matters will have a material impact, over an extended period of time, on the Partnership’s operations, cash flows or liquidity.

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

Sunoco also has indemnified the Partnership for liabilities, other than environmental and toxic tort liabilities related to the assets contributed to the Partnership, that arise out of Sunoco’s ownership and operation of the assets prior to the closing of the February 2002 IPO and that are asserted within 10 years after closing of the February 2002 IPO. In addition, Sunoco has indemnified the Partnership from liabilities relating to certain defects in title to the assets contributed to the Partnership and associated with failure to obtain certain consents and permits necessary to conduct its business that arise within 10 years after closing of the February 2002 IPO as well as from liabilities relating to legal actions currently pending against Sunoco or its affiliates and events and conditions associated with any assets retained by Sunoco or its affiliates.

Management of the Partnership does not believe that any liabilities which may arise from claims indemnified by Sunoco would be material in relation to the financial position of the Partnership at June 30, 2009. There are certain other pending legal proceedings related to matters arising after the February 2002 IPO that are not indemnified by Sunoco. Management believes that any liabilities that may arise from these legal proceedings will not be material in relation to the financial position of the Partnership at June 30, 2009.

9.	Fair Value Measurements

Effective January 1, 2008, the Partnership adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS No. 157”) which pertain to certain balance sheet items measured at fair value on a recurring

basis. SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about such measurements that are permitted or required under other accounting pronouncements. While SFAS No. 157 may change the method of calculating fair value, it does not require any new fair value measurements.

In accordance with SFAS No. 157, the Partnership determines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. As required, the Partnership utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs (levels 1 and 2) and minimize the use of unobservable inputs (level 3) within the fair value hierarchy established by SFAS No. 157. The Partnership generally applies the “market approach” to determine fair value. This method uses pricing and other information generated by market transactions for identical or comparable assets and liabilities. Assets and liabilities are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level (least observable) input that is significant to the measurement in its entirety.

The Partnership’s current assets (other than inventories) and current liabilities are financial instruments. The estimated fair value of these financial instruments approximates their carrying amounts. The estimated fair value of the $261.0 million and $323.4 million of borrowings under the Partnership’s Credit Facilities at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 approximate their carrying amounts as these borrowings bear interest based upon short-term interest rates. The estimated fair value of the 2012, 2014 and 2016 Senior Notes at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was $638.1 million and $416.2 million, respectively, compared to the carrying amount of $600.0 million and $425.0 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008. The 2012, 2014 and 2016 Senior Notes, which are publicly traded, were valued based upon quoted market prices.

10.

Management Incentive Plan

Sunoco Partners LLC, the general partner of the Partnership, participates in the Sunoco Partners LLC Long-Term Incentive Plan (“LTIP”) for employees and directors of the general partner who perform services for the Partnership. The LTIP is administered by the independent directors of the Compensation Committee of the general partner’s board of directors with respect to employee awards, and by the non-independent members of the general partners’ board of directors with respect to awards granted to the independent members. The LTIP currently permits the grant of restricted units and unit options covering an aggregate of 1,250,000 common units. There have been no grants of unit options since the inception of the LTIP. Restricted unit awards may also include tandem distribution equivalent rights (“DERs”) at the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

The Partnership awarded 84,126 and 53,780 units under the LTIP, net of estimated forfeitures, and recognized share-based compensation expense of $4.4 million and $3.4 million for the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Each of the restricted unit grants also have tandem DERs which are recognized as a reduction of Partners’ Capital when earned.

11.

Cash Distributions

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

If cash distributions exceed $0.50 per unit in a quarter, the general partner will receive increasing percentages, up to 50 percent, of the cash distributed in excess of $0.70 per unit. These distributions are referred to as “incentive distributions”.

Distributions paid by the Partnership for the period from January 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009 were as follows:


Date Cash Distribution Paid	Cash Distribution per Limited Partner Unit		Total Cash Distribution to Limited Partners		Total Cash Distribution to the General Partner
			($ in millions)		($ in millions)
February 14, 2008	$	0.8700	$	24.9	$	6.7
May 15, 2008	$	0.8950	$	25.6	$	7.5
August 14, 2008	$	0.9350	$	26.8	$	8.6
November 14, 2008	$	0.9650	$	27.6	$	9.5
February 13, 2009	$	0.9900	$	28.4	$	10.2
May 15, 2009	$	1.0150	$	31.4	$	11.8

On July 21, 2009, Sunoco Partners LLC, the general partner of Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P., declared a cash distribution of $1.04 per common partnership unit ($4.16 annualized), representing the distribution for the second quarter 2009. The $44.8 million distribution, including $12.6 million to the general partner, will be paid on August 14, 2009 to unitholders of record at the close of business on August 7, 2009.

12.

Business Segment Information

On January 1, 2009 the Partnership re-aligned its reporting segments. Prior to this date, the reporting segments were designated by geographic region. The Partnership has determined it more meaningful to functionally align its reporting segments. As such, the updated reporting segments as of January 1, 2009 are Refined Products Pipeline System, Terminal Facilities, and Crude Oil Pipeline System. The primary difference in the new reporting is the consolidation of an eastern area crude oil pipeline with the western area crude oil pipelines. For comparative purposes all prior year amounts have been recast to reflect the new segment reporting and do not impact consolidated net income.

The following table sets forth condensed statement of income information concerning the Partnership’s business segments and reconciles total segment operating income to net income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively (in thousands of dollars). During the three month period ending June 30, 2009, the Partnership recognized $6.8 million of crude pipeline fees relating to the resolution of certain tariff adjustments from prior years. The amount is not considered material to the current or any prior year results.

Analysis of Consolidated Net Income

Net income was $66.6 million for the second quarter 2009 as compared with $51.3 million for the second quarter 2008, an increase of $15.3 million. This increase was due mainly to operating income improvements driven by significantly higher lease acquisition results, increased crude oil pipeline and storage revenues and results from the November 2008 acquisition of the MagTex refined products and terminals system.

Net interest expense increased $3.6 million to $11.7 million for the second quarter 2009 due primarily to higher borrowings associated with the $185.4 million MagTex acquisition, organic growth initiatives, and increased contango inventory positions.

Analysis of Segment Operating Income

On January 1, 2009 the Partnership realigned its reporting segments. Prior to this date, the reporting segments were designated by geographic region. The Partnership has determined it more meaningful to functionally align its reporting segments. As such, the updated reporting segments as of January 1, 2009 are Refined Products Pipeline System, Terminal Facilities, and Crude Oil Pipeline System. The primary difference in the new reporting is the consolidation of an eastern area crude oil pipeline with the western area crude oil pipelines. For comparative purposes all prior year amounts have been recast to reflect the new segment reporting and these changes do not impact consolidated net income.

Refined Products Pipeline System

Operating income for the Refined Products Pipeline System increased $2.0 million to $10.6 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to the prior year’s quarter. Sales and other operating revenue increased by $7.6 million to $31.2 million due primarily to results from the Partnership’s acquisition of the MagTex refined products pipeline and terminals system in November 2008, and increased pipeline fees. Operating expenses increased $4.5 million to $15.3 million for the second quarter 2009 due primarily to the MagTex acquisition and a reduction in refined product operating gains. Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three months ended June 30, 2009 primarily due to the MagTex acquisition.

Terminal Facilities

Operating income for the Terminal Facilities segment increased $3.3 million to $21.2 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009 compared to the prior year’s quarter. Sales and other operating revenues for the second quarter of 2009 increased $7.6 million to $46.9 million due primarily to increased throughput, higher fees and additional tankage at the Nederland terminal facility, as well as results from the MagTex acquisition. Other income increased $0.6 million from the prior year’s second quarter as a result of an insurance recovery associated with the Partnership’s refinery terminals. Cost of products sold and operating expenses increased $3.7 million for the second quarter of 2009 to $17.6 million due primarily to increased costs associated with the MagTex acquisition and lower operating gains. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.6 million to $4.6 million for the second quarter of 2009 due to the MagTex acquisition and increased tankage at the Nederland facility. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $4.9 million compared to $4.2 million in the prior year period due to increased employee costs, along with an insurance recovery recorded in the second quarter of 2008.

Crude Oil Pipeline System

Operating income for the Crude Oil Pipeline System increased $13.7 million to $46.6 million for the second quarter of 2009 compared to the prior year’s quarter due primarily to significantly higher lease acquisition results and optimization of crude oil storage capabilities as the crude oil markets remained in contango during the second quarter of 2009. Increased pipeline fees associated with the resolution of a $6.8 million prior year tariff adjustment also contributed to the improved operating performance during the second quarter of 2009. Other income decreased $1.6 million compared to the prior year’s quarter due primarily to reduced equity income from the Partnership’s joint venture interests and an insurance gain recognized during the second quarter of 2008.

Lower crude oil prices were a key driver of the decrease in total revenue and cost of products sold and operating expenses from the prior year’s quarter. The average price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil at Cushing, Oklahoma decreased to $59.61 per barrel for the second quarter of 2009 from $124.00 per barrel for the second quarter of 2008.

Analysis of Consolidated Net Income

Net income was $147.5 million for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 as compared with $88.8 million for the comparable period in 2008. The increase was the result of significant improvements in the lease acquisition business, contribution from the MagTex acquisition and increased crude oil pipeline and storage revenues.

Net interest expense increased $5.5 million to $21.2 million for the first six months of 2009 due primarily to higher borrowings associated with the $185.4 million MagTex acquisition, organic growth initiatives, and increased contango inventory positions.

Analysis of Segment Operating Income

Refined Products Pipeline System

Operating income for the Refined Products Pipeline System increased $5.9 million to $21.2 million for the first six months of 2009 from $15.3 million for the first six months of 2008. Sales and other operating revenue increased from $47.9 million for the prior year’s period to $62.6 million for the six months ended June 2009 due primarily to the MagTex acquisition and increased pipeline fees. Other income increased by $1.1 million to $5.3 million for the first six months of 2009 as a result of an increase in equity income associated with the Partnership’s joint venture interests. Operating expenses increased by $6.8 million to $29.3 million for the first six months of 2009 due primarily to the MagTex acquisition and a reduction in refined product operating gains. Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.0 million to $6.4 million for the first six months of 2009 due primarily to the MagTex acquisition. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.2 million to $11.1 million for the first six months of 2009 due to increased incentive compensation expense and general employee cots.

Terminal Facilities

Operating income for the Terminal Facilities segment increased $13.3 million to $42.4 million for the first six months of 2009 from $29.1 million for the first six months of 2008. Sales and other operating revenue increased $14.5 million to $93.2 million in the first half of 2009 due primarily to increased throughput, higher fees and additional tankage at the Nederland terminal facility, along with the MagTex acquisition. Other income increased $0.6 million from the first six months of 2009 as a result of the insurance recovery discussed above. Cost of goods sold and operating expenses increased by $5.1 million to $32.7 million for the six months ended June 2009 due primarily to the MagTex acquisition and lower operating gains. Depreciation and amortization expense increased to $9.3 million for the six months ended June 2009 due to the MagTex acquisition and increased tankage at the Nederland facility. During the first six months of 2008, a $5.7 million non-cash impairment charge was recognized related to the Partnership’s decision to discontinue efforts to expand LPG storage capacity at its Inkster, Michigan facility. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $1.0 million to $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 due to increased incentive compensation expense, general employee costs and an insurance recovery recorded in second quarter of 2008.

Crude Oil Pipeline System

Operating income for the Crude Oil Pipeline System increased $45.0 million to $105.2 million for the first six months of 2009 from $60.2 million for the first six months of 2008 due primarily to significantly higher lease acquisition results and higher pipeline fees described above. Other income decreased $2.7 million to $5.8 million for the first six months of 2009 due primarily to decreased equity income associated with the Partnership’s joint venture interests and an insurance gain recognized during the second quarter of 2008. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $11.7 million for the first six months of 2009 compared to $10.5 million in the prior year period due to increased incentive compensation expense, along with general employee and legal costs.

Lower crude oil prices were a key driver of the decrease in total revenue and cost of products sold and operating expenses from the prior year’s quarter. The average price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil at Cushing, Oklahoma decreased to $51.46 per barrel for the first six months of 2009 from $110.98 per barrel for the first six months of 2008.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Cash generated from operations and borrowings under the $400 million Credit Facility and the $62.5 million Credit Facility are the Partnership’s primary sources of liquidity. At June 30, 2009, the Partnership had available borrowing capacity under the credit facilities of $196.5 million. The Partnership’s working capital position reflects crude oil inventories based on historical costs under the LIFO method of accounting. If the inventories had been valued at their current replacement cost, the Partnership would have had working capital of $382.8 million at June 30, 2009.

In February 2009, Sunoco Logistics Partners Operations L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) issued $175 million of 8.75 percent Senior Notes, due February 15, 2014 (“2014 Senior Notes”). The 2014 Senior Notes are redeemable, at a make-whole premium, and are not subject to sinking fund provisions. The 2014 Senior Notes contain various covenants limiting the Operating Partnership’s ability to incur certain liens, engage in sale/leaseback transactions, or merge, consolidate or sell substantially all of its assets. The net proceeds from the 2014 Senior Notes were used to repay outstanding borrowings under the $400 million Credit Facility, which were associated with the MagTex acquisition.

In April and May 2009, the Partnership completed a public offering of 2.25 million common units. Net proceeds of $109.5 million were used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Partnership’s $400 million revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes. In connection with these offerings, the general partner contributed $2.3 million to the Partnership to maintain its 2.0 percent general partner interest.

Capital Resources

The Partnership periodically supplements its cash flows from operations with proceeds from debt and equity financing activities.

$400 Million Credit Facility

The Operating Partnership has a five-year $400 million Credit Facility, which is available to fund the Operating Partnership’s working capital requirements, to finance future acquisitions, to finance future capital projects and for general partnership purposes. The Credit Facility matures in November 2012. At December 31, 2008, there was $323.4 million outstanding under the credit facility. During the first six months of 2009, the Partnership had net repayments of $93.7 million resulting in an outstanding balance of $229.7 million at June 30, 2009.

The $400 million Credit Facility bears interest at the Operating Partnership’s option, at either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin, (ii) the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent or the Citibank prime rate (each plus the applicable margin) or (iii) the federal funds rate plus an applicable margin.

The $400 million Credit Facility contains various covenants limiting the Operating Partnership’s ability to a) incur indebtedness, b) grant certain liens, c) make certain loans, acquisitions and investments, d) make any material change to the nature of its business, e) acquire another company, f) or enter into a merger or sale of assets, including the sale or transfer of interests in the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries. The $400 million Credit Facility also limits the Operating Partnership, on a rolling four-quarter basis, to a maximum total debt to EBITDA ratio of 4.75 to 1, which can generally be increased to 5.25 to 1 during an acquisition period. The Operating Partnership is in compliance with this requirement as of June 30, 2009. The Partnership’s ratio of total debt to EBITDA was 2.3 to 1 at June 30, 2009.

In September 2008, Lehman Brothers, one of the participating banks with a commitment under the facility amounting to $5 million, declared bankruptcy and its loan commitment is no longer in effect.

$100 Million Credit Facility

$62.5 Million Credit Facility

On March 13, 2009, the Operating Partnership entered into a $62.5 million revolving credit facility (“$62.5 million Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of 2 participating financial institutions. The $62.5 million Credit Facility is available to fund the Operating Partnership’s working capital requirements, to finance future acquisitions and for general partnership purposes. The $62.5 million Credit Facility matures in September 2011 and may be prepaid at any time. It bears interest at the Operating Partnership’s option, at either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin or (ii) the higher of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50 percent plus an applicable margin, (b) Toronto Dominion’s prime rate plus an applicable margin or (c) LIBOR plus 1.0 percent plus an applicable margin. The $62.5 million Credit Facility contains various covenants similar to the $400 million credit facility and also requires the Operating Partnership to maintain, on a rolling four-quarter basis, a maximum total debt to EBITDA ratio of 4.0 to 1, which can generally be increased to 4.5 to 1 during an acquisition period. The Operating Partnership is in compliance with this requirement as of June 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2009, the Partnership had outstanding borrowings of $31.3 million under the $62.5 million credit facility. As noted above, the Partnership’s ratio of total debt to EBITDA was 2.3 to 1 at June 30, 2009.

Equity Offering

As noted above, the Partnership completed a public offering of 2.25 million common units during the second quarter. Net proceeds of $109.5 million were used to reduce outstanding borrowings under the Partnership’s $400 million revolving credit facility and for general partnership purposes. In connection with these offerings, the general partner contributed $2.3 million to the Partnership to maintain its 2.0 percent general partner interest.

Cash Flows and Capital Expenditures

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was $61.2 million compared with $134.2 million of net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2008. The net cash used in operating activities in 2009 related to a $208.2 million increase in working capital, partially offset by net income of $147.5 million and depreciation and amortization of $23.1 million. The increase in working capital was the result of increases in accounts receivable and contango inventory positions partially offset by an increase in accounts payable. Net cash provided by operating activities for the first six months of 2008 was primarily the result of net income of $88.8 million, depreciation and amortization of $19.5 million, the $5.7 million impairment charge, and an $18.7 million decrease in working capital. The decrease in working capital was the result of an increase in both accounts payable and accounts receivable activity driven primarily by commodity prices.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months of 2009 was $70.4 million compared with $63.0 million for the first six months of 2008.

Net cash provided by financing activities for the first six months of 2009 was $131.6 million compared with $71.2 million net cash used in financing activities for the first six months of 2008. Net cash provided by financing activities for the first six months of 2009 resulted from $173.4 million issuance of senior notes and $109.5 million public offering completed in April and May of 2009. The net proceeds from these sources were partially offset by $62.4 million net repayment of the Partnership’s credit facilities, and $81.8 million in distributions paid to limited partners and the general partner. Net cash provided by financing activities was utilized to finance operating and investing activities, including contango inventory positions. Net cash used in financing activities for the first six months of 2008 resulted from $64.7 million in distributions paid to limited partners and the general partner and an increase in advances to affiliates of $6.2 million.

Under a treasury services agreement with Sunoco, the Partnership participates in Sunoco’s centralized cash management program. Advances to affiliates in the Partnership’s condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 represent amounts due from Sunoco under this agreement.

Capital Requirements

The pipeline, terminalling, and crude oil transport operations are capital intensive, requiring significant investment to maintain, upgrade or enhance existing operations and to meet environmental and operational regulations. The capital requirements have consisted, and are expected to continue to consist, primarily of:

•

Maintenance capital expenditures, such as those required to maintain equipment reliability, tankage and pipeline integrity and safety, and to address environmental regulations; and

•

Expansion capital expenditures to acquire assets to grow the business and to expand existing and construct new facilities, such as projects that increase storage or throughput volume.

The following table summarizes maintenance and expansion capital expenditures, including net cash paid for acquisitions, for the periods presented (in thousands of dollars):


	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2009		2008
Maintenance	$	9,022	$	7,771
Expansion		61,377		44,724

	$	70,399	$	52,495

Management continues to expect maintenance capital expenditures to be approximately $30.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2009, excluding reimbursements from Sunoco in accordance with the terms of certain agreements. Maintenance capital expenditures for both periods presented include recurring expenditures such as pipeline integrity costs, pipeline relocations, repair and upgrade of field instrumentation, including measurement devices, repair and replacement of tank floors and roofs, upgrades of cathodic protection systems, crude trucks and related equipment, and the upgrade of pump stations.

Expansion capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2009 were $61.4 million compared to $44.7 million for the first six months of 2008. Expansion capital for 2009 includes construction in progress, pursuant to the Partnership’s agreement with Motiva Enterprises LLC to construct three crude oil storage tanks at its Nederland Terminal with a combined capacity of 1.8 million shell barrels and a crude oil pipeline from Nederland to Motiva’s Port Arthur, Texas refinery. Expansion capital also includes refined products terminal optimization and construction of two additional crude oil storage tanks at Nederland, which are expected to be placed into service during the second half of 2009. These two crude oil storage tanks will have a total capacity of approximately 1.2 million shell barrels.

Management expects to invest approximately $125.0 million to $150.0 million in expansion capital projects in 2009, which includes the continued construction of new tankage and pipeline connections associated with the previously discussed agreement with Motiva Enterprises LLC, the continued construction of tankage at the Nederland facility and further integration of the MagTex refined product pipeline system.

The Partnership expects to fund capital expenditures, including pending and future acquisitions, from both cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary, from the proceeds of borrowings under its credit facilities, other borrowings and the issuance of additional common units.

Item 3.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risks, including volatility in crude oil commodity prices and interest rates. To manage such exposure, inventory levels and expectations of future commodity prices and interest rates are monitored when making decisions with respect to risk management. We have not entered into derivative transactions that would expose us to price risk.

Interest Rate Risk

We have interest-rate risk exposure for changes in interest rates relating to our outstanding borrowings. We manage our exposure to changing interest rates through the use of a combination of fixed- and variable-rate debt.

At June 30, 2009, we had $261.0 million of variable-rate borrowings under our revolving credit facilities. On January 8, 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “Swap”) with a notional amount of $50.0 million maturing January 2010. Under the Swap, we receive interest equivalent to the three-month LIBOR and pay a fixed rate of interest of 3.489 percent with settlements occurring quarterly. To maintain hedge accounting for the Swap, we are committed to maintaining at least $50.0 million in borrowings on the $400 million Credit Facility at an interest rate based on the three-month LIBOR, plus an applicable margin, through January 2010. The remaining $211.0 million bears interest cost of LIBOR plus an applicable margin. An increase in short-term interest rates will have a favorable impact on the $50 million in borrowings related to the Swap and a negative impact on funds borrowed in excess of the $50 million. Our weighted average variable interest rate on our variable-rate borrowings, not related to the swap, was 1.0 percent at June 30, 2009. A one percent change in the weighted average rate would have impacted annual interest expense by approximately $2.1 million.

At June 30, 2009, we had $600.0 million of fixed-rate borrowings, which is comprised of $250.0 million of 2012 Senior Notes, $175.0 million of 2014 Senior Notes, and $175.0 million of 2016 Senior Notes. A hypothetical one-percent decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of our fixed-rate borrowings at June 30, 2009 by approximately $24.2 million.

Commodity Market Risk

We are exposed to volatility in crude oil commodity prices. To manage such exposures, inventory levels and expectations of future commodity prices are monitored when making decisions with respect to risk management and inventory carried. Our policy is to purchase only commodity products for which we have a market and to structure our sales contracts so that price fluctuations for those products do not materially affect the margin we receive. We also seek to maintain a position that is substantially balanced within our various commodity purchase and sales activities. In the ordinary course of doing business, we enter into crude purchase contracts with third parties generally for a term of one year or less, with a majority of the transactions on a 30-day renewable basis. Simultaneously, we enter into contracts for the future physical sale and delivery on a specified date of the related crude purchased. Contracts that qualify as derivatives have been designated as normal purchases and sales and are accounted for using traditional accrual accounting.

We do not acquire and hold futures contracts or other derivative products for the purpose of speculating on price changes, as these activities could expose us to significant losses. We may experience net unbalanced positions for short periods of time as a result of production, transportation and delivery variances as well as logistical issues associated with inclement weather conditions.

Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains “forward-looking” statements and information relating to Sunoco Logistics Partners L.P. that is based on the beliefs of its management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management.

Forward-looking statements discuss expected future results based on current and pending business operations, and may be identified by words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “planned,” “scheduled” or similar expressions. Although management of the Partnership believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable, they are based upon a number of assumptions, any or all of which may ultimately prove to be inaccurate. Statements made regarding future results are subject to numerous assumptions, uncertainties and risks that may cause future results to be materially different from the results stated or implied in this document.

The following are among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any results projected, forecasted, estimated or budgeted:

•

Our ability to successfully consummate announced acquisitions or expansions and integrate them into our existing business operations;

•

Delays related to construction of, or work on, new or existing facilities and the issuance of applicable permits;

•

Changes in demand for, or supply of, crude oil, refined petroleum products and natural gas liquids that impact demand for the Partnership’s pipeline, terminalling and storage services;

Changes in the financial condition or operating results of joint ventures or other holdings in which the Partnership has an equity ownership interest;

•

Changes in the general economic conditions in the United States;

•

Changes in laws and regulations to which the Partnership is subject, including federal, state, and local tax, safety, environmental and employment laws;

•

Changes in regulations concerning required composition of refined petroleum products that result in changes in throughput volumes, pipeline tariffs and/or terminalling and storage fees;

•

Improvements in energy efficiency and technology resulting in reduced demand for petroleum products;

•

The Partnership’s ability to manage growth and/or control costs;

•

The effect of changes in accounting principles and tax laws and interpretations of both;

•

Global and domestic economic repercussions, including disruptions in the crude oil and petroleum products markets, from terrorist activities, international hostilities and other events, and the government’s response thereto;

•

Changes in the level of operating expenses and hazards related to operating facilities (including equipment malfunction, explosions, fires, spills and the effects of severe weather conditions);

•

The occurrence of operational hazards or unforeseen interruptions for which the Partnership may not be adequately insured;

•

The age of, and changes in the reliability and efficiency of the Partnership’s operating facilities;

•

Changes in the expected level of capital, operating, or remediation spending related to environmental matters;

•

Changes in insurance markets resulting in increased costs and reductions in the level and types of coverage available;

•

Risks related to labor relations and workplace safety;

•

Non-performance by or disputes with major customers, suppliers or other business partners;

•

Changes in the Partnership’s tariff rates implemented by federal and/or state government regulators;

•

The amount of the Partnership’s indebtedness, which could make the Partnership vulnerable to adverse general economic and industry conditions, limit the Partnership’s ability to borrow additional funds, place it at competitive disadvantages compared to competitors that have less debt, or have other adverse consequences;

•

Restrictive covenants in the Partnership’s or Sunoco, Inc.’s credit agreements;

•

Changes in the Partnership’s or Sunoco, Inc.’s credit ratings, as assigned by ratings agencies;

•

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

•

Performance of financial institutions impacting the Partnership’s liquidity, including those supporting the Partnership’s credit facilities;

•

Changes in interest rates on the Partnership’s outstanding debt, which could increase the costs of borrowing;

•

Claims of the Partnership’s non-compliance with regulatory and statutory requirements; and

•

The costs and effects of legal and administrative claims and proceedings against the Partnership or any entity in which it has an ownership interest, and changes in the status of, or the initiation of new litigation, claims or proceedings, to which the Partnership, or any entity in which it has an ownership interest, is a party.

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

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

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

(b) As of June 30, 2009, the Partnership carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the management of the general partner (including the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Vice President and Chief Financial Officer), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Partnership’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15.

(c) No change in the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting has occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2009 that has materially affected, or that is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II

OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

Legal Proceedings

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

There are certain other pending legal proceedings related to matters arising after the February 2002 IPO that are not indemnified by Sunoco. Management believes that any liabilities that may arise from these legal proceedings will not be material to the Partnership’s financial position at June 30, 2009.

Item 1A.
