Organization and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are composed of Susser Petroleum Partners LP (the "Partnership", "SUSP", "we", "us" or "our"), a publicly traded Delaware limited partnership, and its consolidated subsidiaries, which distribute motor fuels in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Louisiana. SUSP was formed in June 2012 by Susser Holdings Corporation (“SUSS” or the “Parent”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Susser Petroleum Partners GP LLC, our general partner. On September 25, 2012, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”) of 10,925,000 common units representing limited partner interests.

The information presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains the unaudited consolidated financial results of Susser Petroleum Company LLC (“Predecessor” or "SPC"), our Predecessor for accounting purposes, for periods presented through March 31, 2012.

In connection with the IPO and pursuant to the Contribution Agreement between the Partnership, the general partner, SUSS, Stripes LLC, Susser Holdings LLC and SPC (the "Contribution Agreement"), the following transactions occurred:


•	SUSS contributed to Susser Petroleum Operating Company LLC (“SPOC”) substantially all of its wholesale motor fuel distribution business, other than its motor fuel consignment business and transportation assets, which included:

•marketer, distributor and supply agreements,

•fuel supply agreements to distribute motor fuel to convenience stores and other retail fuel outlets,

•real property owned in fee and personal property,

•leases and subleases under which it was a tenant, and

•leases and subleases under which it was a landlord.


•	SPC contributed its membership interests in T&C Wholesale LLC to SPOC.


•	SPC contributed its interest in SPOC to the Partnership in exchange for 14,436 common units representing a 0.07% limited partner interest in the Partnership, 10,939,436 subordinated units representing a 50% limited partner interest in the Partnership and all of the incentive distribution rights of the Partnership.

All of the contributed Predecessor assets and liabilities were recorded at historical cost as this transaction was considered to be a reorganization of entities under common control.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Partnership and all of its subsidiaries. The Partnership operates in one operating segment, with primary operations conducted by the following consolidated wholly owned subsidiaries:


•	Susser Petroleum Operating Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, distributes motor fuel to SUSS' retail and consignment locations, as well as third party customers in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Louisiana.


•	T&C Wholesale LLC ("TCW"), a Texas limited liability company, distributes motor fuels, propane and lubricating oils, primarily in Texas.


•	Susser Petroleum Property Company LLC (“PropCo”), a Delaware limited liability company, formed to, among other things, own and lease convenience store properties.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared from the accounting records of the Partnership and its subsidiaries, and all amounts at March 31, 2013 and for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013 are unaudited. Pursuant to Regulation S-X, certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The information furnished reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented and which are of a normal, recurring nature.

The consolidated financial statements and notes included herein should be read in conjunction with the Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 filed with the SEC on March 29, 2013, as well as the consolidated financial statements of our Predecessor and notes thereto included in our prospectus dated September 19, 2012 as filed with the SEC on September 21, 2012.

Initial Public Offering

Initial Public Offering Disclosure

Initial Public Offering

On September 20, 2012, the Partnership’s public common units began trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “SUSP”. On September 25, 2012, we completed the IPO of 10,925,000 common units at a price of $20.50 per unit.

Property and equipment was contributed by SUSS and its subsidiaries in exchange for:


•	14,436 common units and 10,939,436 subordinated units, representing an aggregate 50.1% limited partner interest in SUSP;


•	All of the incentive distribution rights (as discussed in SUSP's partnership agreement); and


•	An aggregate cash distribution of $206.0 million.

We received net proceeds of $206.2 million from the sale of 10,925,000 units, net of related offering expenses. Additionally, we entered into a term loan and security agreement (“SUSP Term Loan”) in which we borrowed $180.7 million and entered into a $250.0 million revolving credit agreement (“SUSP Revolver”), which together are guaranteed by SUSS in a maximum aggregate amount of $180.7 million. See Note 8 for additional information regarding our credit and term loan facilities.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

New Accounting Pronouncements

FASB ASU No. 2012-02. In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other." This guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will affect our impairment steps only but did not have an effect on our results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill is not being amortized, but is tested annually for impairment, or more frequently if events and circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The annual impairment test is performed as of the first day of the fourth quarter of the fiscal year. At December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, we had $12.9 million of goodwill recorded in conjunction with past business combinations. The 2012 impairment analysis indicated no impairment in goodwill. As of March 31, 2013, we evaluated potential impairment indicators and we believe no indicators of impairment occurred during the first quarter of 2013, and we believe the assumptions used in the analysis performed in 2012 are still relevant and indicative of our current operating environment. As a result, no impairment was recorded to goodwill during the first three months of 2013.

The Partnership has finite‑lived intangible assets recorded that are amortized. The finite‑lived assets consist of supply agreements, favorable/unfavorable leasehold arrangements and loan origination costs, all of which are amortized over the respective lives of the agreements or over the period of time the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Partnership's future cash flows. Supply agreements are being amortized over a weighted average period of approximately six years. Favorable/unfavorable leasehold arrangements are being amortized over an average period of approximately fourteen years. Loan origination costs are amortized over the life of the underlying debt as an increase to interest expense.

The following table presents the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for each major class of intangible assets, excluding goodwill, at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013:



	December 31, 2012						March 31, 2013

Term Loan and Security Agreement

On September 25, 2012, in connection with the IPO, we entered into a Term Loan and Security Agreement with Bank of America, N.A. for a $180.7 million term loan facility, expiring September 25, 2015 (the “Term Loan”). Borrowings under the Term Loan bear interest at (i) a base rate (a rate based off of the higher of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, (b) Bank of America's prime rate or (c) LIBOR plus 1.00%) or (ii) LIBOR plus 0.25%. At March 31, 2013, the interest rate on the Term Loan was 0.45%.

In order to obtain the SUSP Term Loan on more favorable terms, SUSP pledged investment grade securities in an amount equal to or greater than 98% of the outstanding principal amount of the SUSP Term Loan (the “Collateral Account”). The SUSP Term Loan requires SUSP to, among other things (i) deliver certain financial statements, certificates and notices to Bank of America at specified times and (ii) maintain the required collateral and the liens thereon (subject to SUSP's ability to withdraw certain amounts of the collateral, as permitted under the SUSP Term Loan).

Revolving Credit Agreement

On September 25, 2012, in connection with the IPO, we entered into a $250 million revolving credit agreement with a syndicate of banks (the “SUSP Revolver”) expiring September 25, 2017. The facility can be increased from time to time upon our written request, subject to certain conditions, up to an additional $100 million. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at a base rate plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 2.25% or (ii) LIBOR plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.25%, (determined with reference to our consolidated total leverage ratio). In addition, the unused portion of our revolving credit facility will be subject to a commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.50%, based on our consolidated total leverage ratio.

The SUSP Revolver requires us to maintain a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.50 to 1.00, and a consolidated total leverage ratio of not more than 4.50 to 1.00, subject to certain adjustments. Indebtedness under the SUSP Revolver is secured by a security interest in, among other things, all of our present and future personal property and all of the personal property of our guarantors, the capital stock of our subsidiaries, and any intercompany debt. Additionally, if our consolidated total leverage ratio exceeds 3.00 to 1.00 at the end of any fiscal quarter, we will be required, upon request of the lenders, to grant mortgage liens on all real property owned by the Partnership and its subsidiary guarantors.

As of March 31, 2013, the balance on the SUSP revolver was $58.6 million, and $12.8 million in standby letters of credit were outstanding. The unused availability on the SUSP Revolver at March 31, 2013 was $178.6 million. SUSP was in compliance with all covenants.

Guaranty by SUSS of SUSP Term Loan and SUSP Revolver

SUSS entered into a Guaranty of Collection (the “Guaranty”) in connection with the SUSP Term loan and the SUSP Revolver. Pursuant to the Guaranty, SUSS guarantees the collection of (i) the principal amount outstanding under the SUSP Term Loan and (ii) the SUSP Revolver. SUSS' obligation under the Guaranty is limited to $180.7 million. SUSS is not required to make payments under the Guaranty unless and until (a) SUSP has failed to make a payment on a the SUSP Term Loan or SUSP Revolver, (b) the obligations under such facilities have been accelerated, (c) all remedies of the applicable lenders to collect the unpaid amounts due under such facilities, whether at law or equity, have been exhausted and (d) the applicable lenders have failed to collect the full amount owing on such facilities. In addition, SUSS entered into a Reimbursement Agreement with PropCo, whereby SUSS is obligated to reimburse PropCo for any amounts paid by PropCo under the guaranty of the SUSP Revolver executed by SUSP's subsidiaries. SUSS' exposure under this reimbursement agreement is limited, when aggregated with its obligation under the Guaranty, to $180.7 million.

Other Debt

In August 2010 our Predecessor entered into a mortgage note for an aggregate initial borrowing amount of $1.2 million. Pursuant to the terms of the mortgage note, we make monthly installment payments that are comprised of principal and interest through the maturity date of July 1, 2016. The balance outstanding at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $1.1 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The mortgage note bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.0%. The mortgage note is secured by a first priority security interest in a property owned by the Partnership.

The estimated fair value of long-term debt is calculated using Level 3 inputs. The fair value of debt as of March 31, 2013, is estimated to be approximately $182.1 million, based on the par value of the Term Loan, the current balance of the SUSP Revolver and an analysis of the net present value of remaining payments on the notes payable rate at a rate calculated off U.S. Treasury Securities.

Fair Value Measurements

We use fair value measurements to measure, among other items, purchased assets and investments, leases and derivative contracts. We also use them to assess impairment of properties, equipment, intangible assets and goodwill. Fair value is defined as the price at which an asset could be exchanged in a current transaction between knowledgeable, willing parties. A liability’s fair value is defined as the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor, not the amount that would be paid to settle the liability with the creditor. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters, or is derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, use of unobservable prices or inputs is used to estimate the current fair value, often using an internal valuation model. These valuation techniques involve some level of management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the item being valued.

ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into the following hierarchy:



Level 1	Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2	Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable;

Level 3	Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing.

Debt or equity securities are classified into the following reporting categories: held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale securities. The investments in debt securities, which typically mature in one year or less, are currently classified as held-to-maturity and valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. The fair value of marketable securities is measured using Level 1 inputs. The maturity dates range from April 5, 2013 to June 11, 2013 and are classified on the balance sheet in other assets. Included in the marketable securities classification on the Consolidated Balance Sheets are approximately $5.3 million in money market funds. The carrying value of these approximates fair value and are measured using Level 1 inputs. The gross unrecognized holding gains and losses as of December 31, 2012 were not material. These investments are used as collateral to secure the SUSP term loan and are intended to be used only for future capital expenditures.

The Partnership may periodically enter into derivatives, such as futures and options, to manage its fuel price risk, primarily related to bulk purchases of fuel. We hedge this inventory risk through the use of fuel futures contracts which are matched in quantity and timing to the anticipated usage of the inventory. Bulk fuel purchases and fuel hedging positions have not been material to our operations. The fair value of our derivative contracts is measured using Level 2 inputs, and is determined by either market prices on an active market for similar assets or by prices quoted by a broker or other market-corroborated prices. This price does not differ materially from the amount that would be paid to transfer the liability to a new obligor due to the short term nature of these contracts. At December 31, 2012, we held fuel futures contracts with a fair value of ($79,700) (49 contracts representing 2.1 million gallons). At March 31, 2013, the Partnership held fuel futures contracts with a fair value of $183,000 (174 contracts representing 7.3 million gallons). The recognized gain during the first three months of 2012 (by our Predecessor) and 2013 related to these contracts was $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The gain or loss realized on hedging contracts is substantially offset by decreased/increased profitability on sale of fuel inventory. We did not use hedge accounting with regards to these contracts.

Commitments And Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Partnership leases certain convenience store and other properties under non-cancellable operating leases whose initial terms are typically 5 to 10 years, along with options that permit renewals for additional periods. Minimum rent is typically expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. We typically are responsible for payment of real estate taxes, maintenance expenses and insurance. These properties are primarily sublet to third parties.

The components of net rent expense are as follows:

Income Tax

As a limited partnership, we are generally not subject to state and federal income tax, with the exception of the state of Texas. Included in our provision for income tax is a tax imposed by the state of Texas of 0.5% of gross margin in Texas (“franchise tax”). Our taxable income or loss, which may vary substantially from the net income or net loss reported in the consolidated statements of operations, is includable in the federal and state income tax returns of each unitholder. We are, however, subject to a statutory requirement that our non-qualifying income cannot exceed 10% of our total gross income, determined on a calendar year basis under the applicable income tax provisions. If the amount of our non-qualifying income exceeds this statutory limit, we would be taxed as a corporation. Accordingly, certain activities that generate non-qualifying income are conducted through a taxable corporate subsidiary, PropCo. PropCo is subject to federal and state income tax and pays any income taxes related to the results of its operations. For the year ended December 31, 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2013, our non-qualifying income did not exceed the statutory limit.

Our Predecessor was subject to income tax and was included in the consolidated income tax returns of SUSS. Income taxes were allocated to the Predecessor based on separate-company computations of income or loss. The income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are those of our Predecessor.

Equity

As of March 31, 2013, SUSS owned 14,436 common units and 10,939,436 subordinated units, which together constitute a 50.1% ownership interest in us. We issued 10,925,000 common units to the public in connection with our IPO.

Allocations of Net Income

Our partnership agreement contains provisions for the allocation of net income and loss to the unitholders. For purposes of maintaining partner capital accounts, the partnership agreement specifies that items of income and loss shall be allocated among the partners in accordance with their respective percentage interest. Normal allocations according to percentage interests are made after giving effect, if any, to priority income allocations in an amount equal to incentive cash distributions allocated 100% to SUSS.

The calculation of net income allocated to the partners is as follows (in thousands, except per unit amounts):



Net Income Attributable to Susser Petroleum Partners LP Limited Partner Unit - Common Units
	Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Distributions (a)	$	4,786
Distributions in excess of income	(672		)
Limited partners' interest in net income	$	4,114

Net Income Attributable to Susser Petroleum Partners LP Limited Partner Unit - Subordinated Units
	Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
Distributions (a)	$	4,786
Distributions in excess of income	(672		)
Limited partners' interest in net income	$	4,114

(a) Distributions declared per unit	$0.4375

Incentive Distribution Rights

The following table illustrates the percentage allocations of available cash from operating surplus between the unitholders and SUSS (in its capacity as the holder of our incentive distribution rights or "IDRs") based on the specified target distribution levels. The amounts set forth under “marginal percentage interest in distributions” are the percentage interests of SUSS and the unitholders in any available cash from operating surplus we distribute up to and including the corresponding amount in the column “total quarterly distribution per unit target amount”. The percentage interests shown for our unitholders and SUSS for the minimum quarterly distribution are also applicable to quarterly distribution amounts that are less than the minimum quarterly distribution. The percentage interests set forth below for SUSS assume that there are no arrearages on common units and that SUSS continues to own all of the IDRs.



			Marginal percentage interest in distributions
	Total quarterly distribution per unit target amount		Unitholders		SUSS
Minimum Quarterly Distribution	$	0.4375	100	%	—
First Target Distribution	Above $0.4375 up to $0.503125		100	%	—
Second Target Distribution	Above $0.503125 up to $0.546875		85	%	15	%
Third Target Distribution	Above $0.546875 up to $0.656250		75	%	25	%
Thereafter	Above $0.656250		50	%	50	%

Cash distributions

Our partnership agreement, as amended, sets forth the calculation to be used to determine the amount and priority of cash distributions that the common and subordinated unitholders will receive. On February 7, 2013, we declared a quarterly cash distribution, based on the results for the three months ended December 31, 2012, totaling $9.6 million, or $0.4375 per unit calculated as the minimum quarterly distribution. The distribution was paid on March 1, 2013 to unitholders of record on February 19, 2013. On May 7, 2013, we declared a quarterly distribution totaling $9.6 million, based on the results for the three months ended March 31, 2013, or $0.4375 per unit calculated as the minimum quarterly distribution. The distribution will be paid on May 30, 2013 to unitholders of record on May 20, 2013.

Equity-Based Compensation

Unit-based compensation expense related to the Partnership and stock-based compensation expense allocated to our Predecessor that was included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations was as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended

Phantom common units	$	—	$	123
Predecessor allocated expense	235		—
SUSS allocated expense	—		281
Total equity-based compensation expense	$	235	$	404

Phantom Common Unit Awards

During the first quarter of 2013, our general partner issued a total of 12,139 phantom unit awards to certain directors and employees under the 2012 LTIP. The fair value of each phantom unit on the grant date is based on the market price of our common unit on that date. The estimated fair value of our phantom units is amortized over the vesting period using the straight-line method. Non-employee director awards vest over a one to three-year period and employee awards vest ratably over a two to five-year service period. The fair value of nonvested service phantom units outstanding as of March 31, 2013, totaled $1.1 million which will be amortized to expense over the requisite service period.

A summary of our phantom unit award activity is set forth below:



	Number of Phantom Common Units	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at December 31, 2011	—	$	—
Granted	32,500	23.09
Nonvested at December 31, 2012	32,500	23.09
Granted	12,139	32.50
Nonvested at March 31, 2013	44,639	$	25.65

Net Income per Unit

Net income per unit applicable to limited partners (including subordinated unitholders) is computed by dividing limited partners' interest in net income, after deducting any incentive distributions, by the weighted-average number of outstanding common and subordinated units. Our net income is allocated to the limited partners in accordance with their respective partnership percentages, after giving effect to priority income allocations for incentive distributions, if any, to SUSS, the holder of the IDRs, pursuant to our partnership agreement. Net income per unit is only calculated for the Partnership after the IPO as no units were outstanding prior to September 25, 2012. Earnings in excess of distributions are allocated to the limited partners based on their respective ownership interests. Payments made to our unitholders are determined in relation to actual distributions declared and are not based on the net income allocations used in the calculation of net income per unit. As of March 31, 2013, the weighted-average number of units outstanding equals the total number of units outstanding.

In addition to the common and subordinated units, we have also identified the IDRs as participating securities and use the two-class method when calculating the net income per unit applicable to limited partners, which is based on the weighted-average number of common units outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per unit includes the effects of potentially dilutive units on our common units, consisting of unvested phantom units. Basic and diluted net income per unit applicable to subordinated limited partners are the same because there are no potentially dilutive subordinated units outstanding.

We also disclose limited partner units issued and outstanding. There have been no additional changes to the outstanding shares after the closing of the IPO. A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per unit computations is as follows:



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2013
	(dollars in thousands, except units and per unit amounts)
Net income	$	8,227
Less: General partner's interest in net income	—
Limited partners' interest in net income	$	8,227
Weighted average limited partner units outstanding:
Common - basic	10,939,436
Common - equivalents	12,154
Common - diluted	10,951,590
Subordinated - SUSS (basic and diluted)	10,939,436
Net income per limited partner unit:
Common - basic	$	0.38
Common - diluted	$	0.38
Subordinated - SUSS (basic and diluted)	$	0.38

Related-Party Transactions

We entered into two long-term, fee-based commercial agreements with SUSS in connection with our IPO, summarized as follows:

•

Distribution agreement - a 10-year agreement under which we will be the exclusive distributor of motor fuel to SUSS' existing Stripes® convenience stores and independently operated consignment locations, and to all future sites purchased by SUSP pursuant to the sale and leaseback option under the Omnibus Agreement, at cost, including tax and transportation costs, plus a fixed profit margin of three cents per gallon. In addition, all future motor fuel volumes purchased by SUSS for its own account will be added to the distribution agreement pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Agreement.


•	Transportation agreement - a 10-year transportation logistics agreement, pursuant to which SUSS will arrange for motor fuel to be delivered from our suppliers to our customers at rates consistent with those charged by SUSS to third parties for the delivery of motor fuel.

Omnibus Agreement

In addition to the commercial agreements described above, we also entered into an Omnibus Agreement with SUSS pursuant to which, among other things, we received a three-year option to purchase from SUSS up to 75 of SUSS' new or recently constructed Stripes® convenience stores at their cost and lease the stores back to them at a specified rate for a 15-year initial term, and SUSP will be the exclusive distributor of motor fuel to such stores for a period of ten years from the date of purchase. We also received a ten-year right to participate in acquisition opportunities with SUSS, to the extent SUSP and SUSS are able to reach an agreement on terms, and the exclusive right to distribute motor fuel to certain of SUSS' newly constructed convenience stores and independently operated consignment locations. In addition, we agreed to reimburse our general partner and its affiliates for the costs incurred in managing and operating SUSP. The Omnibus Agreement also provides for certain indemnification obligations between SUSS and SUSP.

Contribution Agreement

On September 25, 2012, in connection with the closing of our IPO, the following transactions, among others, occurred pursuant to the Contribution Agreement:


•	SUSS contributed to SPOC substantially all of its wholesale motor fuel distribution business, other than its motor fuel consignment business and transportation assets, which included:


•	marketer, distributor and supply agreements,


•	fuel supply agreements to distribute motor fuel to convenience stores and other retail fuel outlets,


•	real property owned in fee and personal property,


•	leases and subleases under which it was a tenant, and


•	leases and subleases under which it was a landlord.


•	SPC contributed its membership interests in T&C Wholesale to SPOC.


•	SPC contributed its interest in SPOC to the Partnership in exchange for 14,436 common units representing a 0.07% limited partner interest in the Partnership, 10,939,436 subordinated units representing a 50.0% limited partner interest in the Partnership and all of the incentive distribution rights of the Partnership.

Summary of Transactions

Related party transactions with SUSS are as follows:

•

The Partnership sells motor fuel to SUSS for resale at its Stripes® convenience stores and independently operated consignment locations. Motor fuel sales to affiliates for the period ended March 31, 2013, were $730.7 million and resulted in gross profit of $7.4 million. Prior to September 25, 2012, the Predecessor sold motor fuel to affiliates at zero gross profit. Additionally, we collect credit card receipts from the motor fuel suppliers on SUSS' behalf.

•

SUSS charged us for general and administrative services under the Omnibus Agreement for oversight of the Partnership and its Predecessor. Such amounts include certain expenses allocated by SUSS for general corporate services, such as finance, internal audit and legal services, which are included in general and administrative expenses. These expenses were charged or allocated to the Partnership based on the nature of the expenses and our proportionate share of employee time and headcount, which management believes to be reasonable. SUSS charged us $0.2 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013.


•	We reimbursed SUSS for costs of employees supporting our operations of $2.7 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Prior to the IPO, these expenses were incurred directly by the Predecessor.


•	We distributed $4.8 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013 to SUSS as regular distributions on its common and subordinated units.


•	SUSS charged us for transportation services under the Transportation Contract for delivery of motor fuel to our customers of $11.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2013. Prior to the IPO, these expenses were incurred directly by the Predecessor.


•	SUSS charged the Predecessor for rent expense on certain real estate, which was in turn subleased by the Predecessor to dealers, of $0.3 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012. No rent expense was incurred subsequent to the IPO.


•	We acquired six convenience store properties from SUSS for $26.1 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2013. These stores were leased back to SUSS. Since our IPO, we have acquired a total of 14 convenience store properties from SUSS, for a total cost of $55.1 million, through March 31, 2013.


•	We charged SUSS rent on the convenience store properties which were purchased by us and leased back to them. For the quarter ended March 31, 2013, we charged $0.8 million to SUSS on these leases.


•	Net accounts receivable from SUSS were $59.5 million and $57.3 million at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

New Accounting Pronouncements

FASB ASU No. 2012-02. In July 2012, the FASB issued ASU No. 2012-02, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other." This guidance permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment test in accordance with Subtopic 350. The ASU is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The adoption of this guidance will affect our impairment steps only but did not have an effect on our results of operations, cash flows or related disclosures.
