TransMontaigne Partners L.P. and subsidiaries

Notes to consolidated financial statements

(1)   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)   Nature of business

        TransMontaigne Partners L.P. ("Partners") was formed in February 2005 as a Delaware master limited partnership initially to own and operate products terminaling and transportation facilities. We conduct our operations in the United States primarily along the Gulf Coast, in Brownsville, Texas, along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, and in the Midwest. We provide integrated terminaling, storage, transportation and related services for companies engaged in the distribution and marketing of refined products, crude oil, chemicals, fertilizers and other liquid products, including TransMontaigne Inc. and Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc.

        We are controlled by our general partner, TransMontaigne GP L.L.C., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TransMontaigne Inc. Effective September 1, 2006, Morgan Stanley Capital Group Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Morgan Stanley, purchased all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of TransMontaigne Inc. Morgan Stanley Capital Group is the principal commodities trading arm of Morgan Stanley. Morgan Stanley Capital Group is a leading global commodity trader involved in proprietary and counterparty-driven trading in numerous commodities including crude oil, refined products, natural gas and natural gas liquids, coal, electric power, base and precious metals and others. Morgan Stanley Capital Group engages in trading both physical commodities, like the refined products that we handle in our terminals, and exchange or over-the-counter commodities derivative instruments. As a result of Morgan Stanley's acquisition of TransMontaigne Inc., Morgan Stanley became the indirect owner of our general partner. TransMontaigne Inc. and Morgan Stanley have a significant interest in our partnership through their indirect ownership of a 44.6% limited partner interest and a 2% general partner interest.

(b)   Change in year end

        We adopted a December 31 year end for financial and tax reporting purposes effective December 31, 2005. We previously maintained a June 30 year end for financial and tax reporting purposes.

(c)   Basis of presentation and use of estimates

        The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, these statements reflect adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring entries), which in our opinion, are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial results for the interim periods presented. Certain information and notes normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed in or omitted from these interim financial statements pursuant to such rules and regulations. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2006, together with our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 16, 2007.

        Our accounting and financial reporting policies conform to accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the United States of America. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of TransMontaigne Partners L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and its controlled subsidiaries. All significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

9



        The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The following estimates, in management's opinion, are subjective in nature, require the exercise of judgment, and involve complex analyses: allowance for doubtful accounts and accrued environmental obligations. Changes in these estimates and assumptions will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of certain TransMontaigne Inc. terminal and pipeline operations prior to their acquisition by us from TransMontaigne Inc. The acquired assets and liabilities have been recorded at TransMontaigne Inc.'s carryover basis. At the closing of our initial public offering on May 27, 2005, we acquired from TransMontaigne Inc. seven Florida terminals, including terminals located in Tampa, Port Manatee, Fisher Island, Port Everglades (North), Port Everglades (South), Cape Canaveral, and Jacksonville; and the Razorback Pipeline system, including the terminals located at Mt. Vernon, Missouri and Rogers, Arkansas in exchange for 120,000 common units, 2,872,266 subordinated units, a 2% general partner interest, and a cash payment of approximately $111.5 million. On January 1, 2006, we acquired from TransMontaigne Inc. the Mobile, Alabama terminal in exchange for a cash payment of approximately $17.9 million (See Note 3 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). On December 29, 2006, we acquired from TransMontaigne Inc. the Brownsville, Texas terminal, twelve terminals along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers ("River terminals"), and the Baton Rouge, Louisiana dock facility in exchange for a cash payment of approximately $135.0 million (See Note 3 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). The acquisitions of terminal and pipeline operations from TransMontaigne Inc. have been accounted for as transactions among entities under common control and, accordingly, prior periods include the activity of the acquired terminal and pipeline operations since the date common control was established. For acquisitions made by us from TransMontaigne Inc. prior to September 1, 2006, common control was established as of the date TransMontaigne Inc. purchased the terminal and pipeline operation. For acquisitions made by us from TransMontaigne Inc. on or after September 1, 2006, common control was established as of September 1, 2006 (the date Morgan Stanley Capital Group purchased TransMontaigne Inc.).

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements include allocated general and administrative charges from TransMontaigne Inc. for indirect corporate overhead to cover costs of functions such as legal, accounting, treasury, engineering, environmental safety, information technology, and other corporate services (see Note 2 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). The allocated general and administrative expenses were approximately $1.7 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The accompanying consolidated financial statements also include allocated insurance charges from TransMontaigne Inc. for insurance premiums to cover costs of insuring activities such as property, casualty, pollution, automobile, directors' and officers' liability, and other insurable risks. The allocated insurance charges were $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Management believes that the allocated general and administrative charges and insurance charges are representative of the costs and expenses incurred by TransMontaigne Inc. for managing Partners' operations.

(d)   Accounting for terminal and pipeline operations

        In connection with our terminal and pipeline operations, we utilize the accrual method of accounting for revenue and expenses. We generate revenues in our terminal and pipeline operations from throughput fees, storage fees, transportation fees, management fees and cost reimbursements, and fees from other ancillary services. Throughput revenue is recognized when the product is delivered to the customer; storage revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the storage contract;

10



transportation revenue is recognized when the product has been delivered to the customer at the specified delivery location; management fee revenue and cost reimbursements are recognized as the services are performed or as the costs are incurred; and ancillary service revenue is recognized as the services are performed.

(e)   Cash and cash equivalents

        We consider all short-term investments with a remaining maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase to be cash equivalents.

(f)    Property, plant and equipment

        Depreciation is computed using the straight-line and double-declining balance methods. Estimated useful lives are 20 to 25 years for plant, which includes buildings, storage tanks, and pipelines, and 3 to 20 years for equipment. All items of property, plant and equipment are carried at cost. Expenditures that increase capacity or extend useful lives are capitalized. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

        We evaluate long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable based on expected undiscounted cash flows attributable to that asset. If an asset is impaired, the impairment loss to be recognized is the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its estimated fair value.

(g)   Environmental obligations

        We accrue for environmental costs that relate to existing conditions caused by past operations when estimable. Environmental costs include initial site surveys and environmental studies of potentially contaminated sites, costs for remediation and restoration of sites determined to be contaminated and ongoing monitoring costs, as well as fines, damages and other costs, including direct legal costs. Liabilities for environmental costs at a specific site are initially recorded, on an undiscounted basis, when it is probable that we will be liable for such costs, and a reasonable estimate of the associated costs can be made based on available information. Such an estimate includes our share of the liability for each specific site and the sharing of the amounts related to each site that will not be paid by other potentially responsible parties, based on enacted laws and adopted regulations and policies. Adjustments to initial estimates are recorded, from time to time, to reflect changing circumstances and estimates based upon additional information developed in subsequent periods. Estimates of our ultimate liabilities associated with environmental costs are particularly difficult to make with certainty due to the number of variables involved, including the early stage of investigation at certain sites, the lengthy time frames required to complete remediation, technology changes, alternatives available and the evolving nature of environmental laws and regulations. We periodically file claims for insurance recoveries of certain environmental remediation costs with our insurance carriers under our comprehensive liability policies. We recognize our insurance recoveries as a credit to income in the period the insurance recoveries are received.

        At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, we have accrued environmental obligations of approximately $660,000 and $682,000, respectively, representing our best estimate of our remediation obligations (see Note 9 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). During the three months ended March 31, 2007, we made payments of approximately $22,000 towards our environmental remediation obligations. Changes in our estimates of our future environmental remediation obligations may occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events.

        TransMontaigne Inc. has indemnified us through May 2010 against certain potential environmental claims, losses and expenses associated with the operation of the Florida and Midwest terminal facilities and occurring before May 27, 2005, up to a maximum liability not to exceed $15 million for this

11



indemnification obligation (see Note 2 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). TransMontaigne Inc. has indemnified us through December 2008 against certain potential environmental claims, losses and expenses associated with the operation of the Mobile, Alabama terminal and occurring before January 1, 2006, up to a maximum liability not to exceed $2.5 million for this indemnification obligation (see Note 2 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). TransMontaigne Inc. has indemnified us through December 2011 against certain potential environmental claims, losses and expenses associated with the operation of the Brownsville and River terminals and occurring before December 31, 2006, up to a maximum liability not to exceed $15 million for this indemnification obligation (see Note 2 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).

(h)   Asset retirement obligations

        Asset retirement obligations are legal obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or normal use of the asset. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations," requires that the fair value of a liability related to the retirement of long-lived assets be recorded at the time a legal obligation is incurred. Once an asset retirement obligation is identified and a liability is recorded, a corresponding asset is recorded, which is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the asset. After the initial measurement, the liability is adjusted to reflect changes in the asset retirement obligation's fair value. If and when it is determined that a legal obligation has been incurred, the fair value of any liability is determined based on estimates and assumptions related to retirement costs, future inflation rates and interest rates. Our long-lived assets consist of above-ground storage facilities and an underground pipeline. We are unable to predict if and when our long-lived assets will become completely obsolete and require dismantlement. Accordingly, we have not recorded an asset retirement obligation, or corresponding asset, because the future dismantlement and removal dates of our long-lived assets, and the amount of any associated costs, are indeterminable. Changes in our estimates and assumptions may occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events.

(i)    Equity-based compensation plan

        For periods ending prior to July 1, 2005, we accounted for our equity-based compensation awards using the intrinsic value method pursuant to APB Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.

        Effective July 1, 2005, we adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R), Share-Based Payment. The adoption of this Statement did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements, except for the elimination of deferred equity-based compensation from partners' equity. This Statement requires us to measure the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award. We are required to estimate the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest in measuring the total compensation cost to be recognized over the related service period. For awards granted prior to July 1, 2005, we are required to measure compensation cost for the portion of outstanding awards for which the requisite service has not yet been rendered (i.e., the unvested portion of the award as of July 1, 2005). The compensation cost for these awards is based on their relative grant-date fair values.

        Compensation cost is recognized over the service period on a straight-line basis.

(j)    Income taxes

        No provision for income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because Partners is treated as a partnership for federal and state income taxes. As a

12



partnership, all income, gains, losses, expenses, deductions and tax credits generated by Partners flow through to the unitholders of the partnership.

(k)   Net earnings per limited partner unit

        Basic earnings per limited partner unit are computed by dividing net earnings allocable to limited partners by the weighted average number of limited partnership units outstanding during the period, excluding restricted phantom units. Diluted earnings per limited partner unit are computed by dividing net earnings allocable to limited partners by the weighted average number of limited partnership units outstanding during the period and, when dilutive, restricted phantom units. Net earnings allocable to limited partners are net of the earnings allocable to the general partner.

(l)    Reclassifications

        Certain amounts in the prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period's presentation. Net earnings and partners' equity have not been affected by these reclassifications.

(2)   TRANSACTIONS WITH TRANSMONTAIGNE INC. AND MORGAN STANLEY CAPITAL GROUP

        Omnibus Agreement.    We have an omnibus agreement with TransMontaigne Inc. that will expire in May 2008, unless extended. Under the omnibus agreement, we pay TransMontaigne Inc. an administrative fee for the provision of various general and administrative services for our benefit. At March 31, 2007, the annual administrative fee payable to TransMontaigne Inc. was approximately $6.9 million. If we acquire or construct additional facilities, TransMontaigne Inc. will propose a revised administrative fee covering the provision of services for such additional facilities. If the conflicts committee of our general partner agrees to the revised administrative fee, TransMontaigne Inc. will provide services for the additional facilities pursuant to the agreement. The administrative fee includes expenses incurred by TransMontaigne Inc. to perform centralized corporate functions, such as legal, accounting, treasury, insurance administration and claims processing, health, safety and environmental, information technology, human resources, credit, payroll, taxes and engineering and other corporate services, to the extent such services are not outsourced by TransMontaigne Inc. The omnibus agreement further provides that we pay TransMontaigne Inc. an insurance reimbursement for premiums on insurance policies covering our facilities and operations. At March 31, 2007, the annual insurance reimbursement payable to TransMontaigne Inc. was approximately $1.7 million.

        We also reimburse TransMontaigne Inc. for direct operating costs and expenses that TransMontaigne Inc. incurs on our behalf, such as salaries of operational personnel performing services on-site at our terminals and pipeline and the cost of their employee benefits, including 401(k) and health insurance benefits.

        Environmental Indemnification.    Under the omnibus agreement, TransMontaigne Inc. has agreed to indemnify us through May 2010 against certain potential environmental claims, losses and expenses occurring before May 27, 2005, and associated with the operation of the Florida and Midwest terminal facilities acquired by us on May 27, 2005. TransMontaigne Inc.'s maximum liability for this indemnification obligation is $15 million. TransMontaigne Inc. has no obligation to indemnify us for losses until such aggregate losses exceed $250,000. TransMontaigne Inc. has no indemnification obligations with respect to environmental claims made as a result of additions to or modifications of environmental laws promulgated after May 27, 2005.

        In connection with our acquisition of the Mobile, Alabama terminal, TransMontaigne Inc. agreed to indemnify us through December 2008 against certain potential environmental liabilities associated with the operation of the Mobile terminal that occurred on or prior to January 1, 2006. Our environmental losses must first exceed $200,000 and TransMontaigne Inc.'s indemnification obligations

13



are capped at $2.5 million. The cap amount does not apply to any environmental liabilities known to exist as of January 1, 2006. TransMontaigne Inc. has no indemnification obligations with respect to environmental claims made as a result of additions to or modifications of environmental laws promulgated after January 1, 2006.

        In connection with our acquisition of the Brownsville and River terminals, TransMontaigne Inc. agreed to indemnify us through December 2011 against certain potential environmental liabilities associated with the operation of the Brownsville and River terminals that occurred on or prior to December 31, 2006. Our environmental losses must first exceed $250,000 and TransMontaigne Inc.'s indemnification obligations are capped at $15 million. The cap amount does not apply to any environmental liabilities known to exist as of December 31, 2006. TransMontaigne Inc. has no indemnification obligations with respect to environmental claims made as a result of additions to or modifications of environmental laws promulgated after December 31, 2006.

        Terminaling Services Agreement—Florida Terminals and Razorback Pipeline System.    We have a terminaling and transportation services agreement with TransMontaigne Inc. that will expire on December 31, 2013. Under this agreement, TransMontaigne Inc. agreed to transport on the Razorback Pipeline and throughput at our Florida, Missouri and Arkansas terminals a volume of refined products that will, at the fee and tariff schedule contained in the agreement, result in minimum revenues to us of $20 million per year, or $5 million per quarter. If TransMontaigne Inc. fails to meet its minimum revenue commitment in any quarter, it must pay us the amount of any shortfall within 15 business days following receipt of an invoice from us. A shortfall payment may be applied as a credit in the following four quarters after TransMontaigne Inc.'s minimum obligations are met. In exchange for TransMontaigne Inc.'s minimum revenue commitment, we agreed to provide TransMontaigne Inc. approximately 2.6 million barrels of light oil storage capacity and approximately 1.3 million barrels of heavy oil storage capacity at certain of our Florida terminals.

        In the event of a force majeure event that renders performance impossible with respect to an asset for at least 30 consecutive days, TransMontaigne Inc.'s obligations would be temporarily suspended with respect to that asset. If a force majeure event continues for 30 consecutive days or more and results in a diminution in the storage capacity we make available to TransMontaigne Inc., TransMontaigne Inc.'s minimum revenue commitment would be reduced proportionately for the duration of the force majeure event.

        After the initial term, the terminaling services agreement will automatically renew for subsequent one-year periods, subject to either party's right to terminate with six months' notice. TransMontaigne Inc.'s obligations under the terminaling services agreement will not terminate if TransMontaigne Inc. no longer owns our general partner. TransMontaigne Inc. may assign the terminaling services agreement only with the consent of the conflicts committee of our general partner. Upon termination of the agreement, TransMontaigne Inc. has a right of first refusal to enter into a new terminaling services agreement with us, provided it pays no less than 105% of the fees offered by the third party.

        Effective September 1, 2006, we are responsible for all refined product losses and we are entitled to all product gains at our Florida terminals. Prior to September 1, 2006, we were responsible for all refined product losses in excess of 0.10% of the refined product we received from TransMontaigne Inc. at our Florida terminals; we were entitled to all product gains, including 0.10% of the refined product we received from TransMontaigne Inc. at our Florida terminals.

        Terminaling Services Agreement—Oklahoma City Terminal.    We have a revenue support agreement with TransMontaigne Inc. that provides that in the event any current third-party terminaling agreement should expire, TransMontaigne Inc. agrees to enter into a terminaling services agreement that will expire no earlier than November 1, 2012. The terminaling services agreement will provide that TransMontaigne Inc. agrees to throughput such volume of refined product as may be required to

14



guarantee minimum revenues of $0.8 million per year. If TransMontaigne Inc. fails to meet its minimum revenue commitment in any year, it must pay us the amount of any shortfall within 15 business days following receipt of an invoice from us. In exchange for TransMontaigne Inc.'s minimum revenue commitment, we agreed to provide TransMontaigne Inc. approximately 153,000 barrels of light oil storage capacity at our Oklahoma City terminal. TransMontaigne Inc.'s minimum revenue commitment currently is not in effect because a major oil company is under contract for the utilization of the light oil storage capacity at the terminal.

        Terminaling Services Agreement—Mobile Terminal.    We have a terminaling and transportation services agreement with TransMontaigne Inc. that will expire on December 31, 2012. Under this agreement, TransMontaigne Inc. agreed to throughput at our Mobile, Alabama terminal a volume of refined products that will, at the fee and tariff schedule contained in the agreement, result in minimum throughput revenues to us of $2.1 million per year. If TransMontaigne Inc. fails to meet its minimum commitment in any year, it must pay us the amount of any shortfall within 15 business days following receipt of an invoice from us. A shortfall payment may be applied as a credit in the following year after TransMontaigne Inc.'s minimum obligations are met. In exchange for TransMontaigne Inc.'s minimum revenue commitment, we agreed to provide TransMontaigne Inc. approximately 46,000 barrels of light oil storage capacity and approximately 65,000 barrels of heavy oil storage capacity at the terminal.

        Terminaling Services Agreement—Morgan Stanley Capital Group.    We have a terminaling and transportation services agreement with Morgan Stanley Capital Group, relating to our Brownsville, Texas terminal, which will expire on October 31, 2010. Under this agreement, Morgan Stanley Capital Group agreed to store a specified minimum amount of fuel oils at our Brownsville, Texas terminal that will result in minimum revenues to us of approximately $2.2 million per year. In exchange for its minimum revenue commitment, we agreed to provide Morgan Stanley Capital Group a minimum amount of storage capacity for such fuel oils.

        Terminaling Services Agreement—Brownsville LPG.    We have a terminaling and transportation services agreement with TransMontaigne Inc. relating to our Brownsville LPG terminal that will expire on March 31, 2010. Under this agreement, TransMontaigne Inc. agreed to throughput at our Brownsville LPG terminal certain minimum volumes of natural gas liquids that will, under the fee and tariff schedule contained in the agreement, result in minimum revenues to us of approximately $1.4 million per year. In exchange for TransMontaigne Inc.'s minimum throughput commitment, we agreed to provide TransMontaigne Inc. approximately 15,000 barrels of storage capacity at our Brownsville LPG terminal. TransMontaigne Inc.'s minimum revenue commitment will increase to approximately $2.4 million per year when we increase the LPG storage capacity at our Brownsville LPG terminal to approximately 33,700 barrels.

(3)   ACQUISITIONS

        Brownsville and River Terminals.    Effective December 29, 2006, we acquired from TransMontaigne Inc. a refined product terminal with approximately 2.2 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity in Brownsville, Texas, twelve refined product terminals along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers with approximately 2.7 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity, and the Baton Rouge, Louisiana dock facility for a cash payment of approximately $135.0 million. The Brownsville terminal provides integrated terminaling services to customers, including TransMontaigne Inc. and Morgan Stanley Capital Group, engaged in the distribution and marketing of refined products, natural gas liquids, chemicals, fertilizers and other liquid products. The River terminals provide integrated terminaling services to third parties engaged in the distribution and marketing of refined products, chemicals, fertilizers and other liquid products. The acquisition of the Brownsville and River terminals from TransMontaigne Inc. has been recorded at carryover basis in a manner similar to a reorganization of entities under common control. As such, prior periods include the assets, liabilities, and results of

15


operations of the Brownsville and River terminals from September 1, 2006, the date of acquisition by Morgan Stanley Capital Group of TransMontaigne Inc. The results of operations of the Brownsville and River terminals for periods prior to its actual sale to us have been allocated to TransMontaigne Inc. ("Predecessor"). The difference between the consideration we paid to TransMontaigne Inc. and the carryover basis of the net assets purchased has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and changes in partners' equity as an increase to partners' equity—subordinated units.

        TransMontaigne Inc.'s accounting basis in the assets and liabilities of the Brownsville and River terminals is preliminary and subject to change, pending the completion of an ongoing appraisal of TransMontaigne Inc.'s identifiable tangible and intangible assets.

        Mobile Terminal.    Effective January 1, 2006, we acquired from TransMontaigne Inc. a refined product terminal with approximately 0.2 million barrels of aggregate active storage capacity in Mobile, Alabama for approximately $17.9 million. The Mobile terminal currently provides integrated terminaling services to TransMontaigne Inc., a major oil company, a crude oil marketing company and a petro-chemical company. The acquisition of the Mobile terminal from TransMontaigne Inc. has been recorded at carryover basis in a manner similar to a reorganization of entities under common control. As such, prior periods include the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Mobile terminal from August 1, 2005, the date of acquisition by TransMontaigne Inc. from Radcliff/Economy Marine Services, Inc. The results of operations of the Mobile terminal for periods prior to its actual sale to us have been allocated to TransMontaigne Inc. ("Predecessor"). The consideration we paid to TransMontaigne Inc. in excess of the carryover basis of the net assets purchased has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and changes in partners' equity as a reduction of partners' equity—subordinated units.

(4)   CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

        Our primary market areas are located along the Gulf Coast, in Brownsville, Texas, along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, and in the Midwest. We have a concentration of trade receivable balances due from companies engaged in the trading, distribution and marketing of refined products, crude oil, chemicals, fertilizers and other liquid products, and the United States government. These concentrations of customers may affect our overall credit risk in that the customers may be similarly affected by changes in economic, regulatory or other factors. Our customers' historical financial and operating information is analyzed prior to extending credit. We manage our exposure to credit risk through credit analysis, credit approvals, credit limits and monitoring procedures, and for certain transactions we may request letters of credit, prepayments or guarantees. We maintain allowances for potentially uncollectible accounts receivable. During the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, we increased the allowance for doubtful accounts through a charge to income of approximately $nil and $0.1 million, respectively.

        Trade accounts receivable, net consists of the following (in thousands):

 
  March 31,
2007

  December 31,

    $ 4,200   $ 1,625  
   
 
 

        TransMontaigne Inc. and Morgan Stanley Capital Group, in the aggregate, accounted for approximately 45% and 70% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Marathon Petroleum Company LLC ("Marathon") and the previous asphalt storage customer accounted for 11% and 17% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Valero Energy Corporation accounted for 16% and nil% of our total revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

(7)   GOODWILL

        At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, goodwill is approximately $23.2 million resulting from the acquisition of the Brownsville and River terminals from TransMontaigne Inc. The acquisition of the Brownsville and River terminals from TransMontaigne Inc. has been recorded at TransMontaigne Inc.'s carryover basis in a manner similar to a reorganization of entities under common control (See Note 3 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). TransMontaigne Inc.'s carryover basis in the Brownsville and River terminals is derived from the application of pushdown accounting associated with Morgan Stanley Capital Group's acquisition of TransMontaigne Inc. on September 1, 2006. Goodwill represents the excess of Morgan Stanley Capital Group's aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired attributable to the Brownsville and River terminals. Goodwill is not amortized, but instead tested for impairment on an annual basis during the three months ended December 31.

        Deferred financing costs are amortized using the interest method over the term of the related credit facility (see Note 10 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). On December 22, 2006, we entered into an amended and restated senior secured credit facility and incurred deferred financing costs of approximately $2.6 million. On December 29, 2006, we repaid and cancelled our former credit facility.

        Our acquisitions from TransMontaigne Inc. have been recorded at TransMontaigne Inc.'s carryover basis in a manner similar to a reorganization of entities under common control (See Note 3 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). Identifiable intangible assets, net include the carryover basis of certain customer relationships at our Brownsville and River terminals and the right to use the Coastal Fuels trade name at our Florida terminals. The carryover basis of the customer relationships is being amortized on a straight-line basis over twelve years; the carryover basis of the Coastal Fuels trade name is being amortized on a straight-line basis over five years.

(10) LONG-TERM DEBT

        Senior Secured Credit Facility.    On December 22, 2006, we entered into a $225 million amended and restated senior secured credit facility ("Senior Secured Credit Facility") with a consortium of lending institutions. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility were approximately $189.7 million and $189.6 million, respectively. At March 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006, our outstanding letters of credit were approximately $189,000 and $210,000, respectively. The initial borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility were used to repay the outstanding loans under the Former Credit Facility and to finance the acquisition of the Brownsville and River terminals from TransMontaigne Inc. (See Note 3 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).

19


        The Senior Secured Credit Facility is composed of a $75 million term loan facility and a $150 million revolving credit facility. We may elect to have loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest either (i) at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% depending on the total leverage ratio then in effect, or (ii) at a base rate (the greater of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or (b) the prime rate) plus a margin ranging from 0.5% to 1.5% depending on the total leverage ratio then in effect. We also pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.30% to 0.50% per annum, depending on the total leverage ratio then in effect, on the total amount of unused commitments. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility was approximately 7.9%. Our obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in favor of the lenders in our assets, including cash, accounts receivable, inventory, general intangibles, investment property, contract rights and real property. The terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility include covenants that restrict our ability to make cash distributions and acquisitions. The principal balance of loans and any accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable in full on the maturity date, December 22, 2011.

        The Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains customary representations and warranties (including those relating to organization and authorization, compliance with laws, absence of defaults, material agreements and litigation) and customary events of default (including those relating to monetary defaults, covenant defaults, cross defaults and bankruptcy events). The primary financial covenants contained in the Senior Secured Credit Facility are (i) a total leverage ratio test (not to exceed 5.75 times through the earlier of September 30, 2007 or the completion of a new equity offering of not less than $65 million, and not to exceed 4.5 times thereafter), (ii) a senior secured leverage ratio test (not to exceed 5.75 times through the earlier of September 30, 2007 or the completion of a new equity offering of not less than $65 million, and not to exceed 4.0 times thereafter), and (iii) a minimum interest coverage ratio test (not to be less than 2.25 times through September 30, 2007, then 2.5 times through December 31, 2007, and not less than 2.75 times thereafter).

        Former Credit Facility.    On May 9, 2005, we entered into a $75 million senior secured credit facility ("Former Credit Facility"). The Former Credit Facility provided for a maximum borrowing line of credit equal to the lesser of (i) $75 million and (ii) four times Consolidated EBITDA (as defined; $86.9 million at March 31, 2006). The maximum borrowing amount was reduced by the amount of letters of credit that were outstanding. The weighted average interest rate on borrowings under our Former Credit Facility was 5.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2006. On December 29, 2006, we repaid all outstanding borrowings under the Former Credit Facility with the proceeds for the initial borrowings under our new Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Former Credit Facility was cancelled.

(11) LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

        TransMontaigne GP L.L.C. ("TransMontaigne GP") is our general partner and manages our operations and activities. TransMontaigne Services Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TransMontaigne Inc. and is the sole member of TransMontaigne GP. TransMontaigne Services Inc. adopted a long-term incentive plan for its employees and consultants and non-employee directors of our general partner. The long-term incentive plan currently permits the grant of awards covering an aggregate of 345,895 common units, which amount will automatically increase on an annual basis by 2% of the total outstanding common and subordinated units at the end of the preceding fiscal year. As of March 31, 2007, 306,290 common units are available for future grant under the long-term incentive plan. Ownership in the awards is subject to forfeiture until the vesting date, but recipients have distribution and voting rights from the date of grant. The plan is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors of our general partner. On January 19, 2006, we announced a program for the repurchase of outstanding common units for purposes of making subsequent grants of restricted units to key employees and non-employee directors of our general partner. Currently, we

20



have repurchased approximately 38,400 common units pursuant to the program. As a result of the merger between TransMontaigne Inc. and Morgan Stanley Capital Group, repurchases of outstanding common units under the program were discontinued.

        On March 31, 2007, TransMontaigne Services Inc. granted 10,000 restricted phantom units to the non-officer directors of our general partner. On March 31, 2006, TransMontaigne Services Inc. granted 58,000 restricted phantom units to its key employees and executive officers, and non-employee directors of our general partner. On May 27, 2005, TransMontaigne Services Inc. granted 120,000 restricted common units to its key employees and executive officers, and non-employee directors of our general partner. We recognized deferred equity-based compensation of approximately $0.4 million, $1.7 million and $2.6 million associated with the March 2007, March 2006 and May 2005 grants, respectively.

        Pursuant to the terms of the long-term incentive plan, all restricted phantom units and restricted common units vest upon a change in control of TransMontaigne Inc. Amortization of deferred equity-based compensation of approximately $nil and $0.2 million is included in direct general and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

(12) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

(14) BUSINESS SEGMENTS

        We provide integrated terminaling, storage, transportation and related services to companies engaged in the trading, distribution and marketing of refined products, crude oil, chemicals, fertilizers and other liquid products. Our chief operating decision maker is our general partner's chief executive officer ("CEO"). Our general partner's CEO reviews the financial performance of our business segments using disaggregated financial information about "net margins" for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. "Net margins" is composed of revenues less direct operating costs and expenses. Accordingly, we present "net margins" for each of our business segments: (i) Gulf Coast terminals, (ii) Midwest terminals and pipeline system, (iii) Brownsville terminal and (iv) River terminals.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

        The following discussion and analysis of the results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

        A summary of the significant accounting policies that we have adopted and followed in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements is detailed in our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 16, 2007 (see Note 1 of Notes to the consolidated financial statements). Certain of these accounting policies require the use of estimates. The following estimates, in our opinion, are subjective in nature, require the exercise of judgment, and involve complex analysis: allowance for doubtful accounts and accrued environmental obligations. These estimates are based on our knowledge and understanding of current conditions and actions we may take in the future. Changes in these estimates will occur as a result of the passage of time and the occurrence of future events. Subsequent changes in these estimates may have a significant impact on our financial condition and results of operations.

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS DURING THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007

        On January 19, 2007, we announced a distribution of $0.43 per unit payable on February 7, 2007 to unitholders of record on January 31, 2007.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

        On April 13, 2007, we filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission to issue up to $1.0 billion of common units and debt securities pursuant to one or more offerings in the future.

        On April 20, 2007, we announced a distribution of $0.47 per unit payable on May 8, 2007 to unitholders of record on April 30, 2007.

        On May 7, 2007, we announced a program for the repurchase, from time to time, of outstanding common units of the Partnership for purposes of making subsequent grants of restricted units under the Partnership's Long-Term Incentive Plan to non-executive directors of our general partner.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS—THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2007 AND 2006

        In reviewing our historical results of operations, you should be aware that the accompanying consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and results of operations of certain TransMontaigne Inc. terminal and pipeline transportation operations prior to their acquisition by us from TransMontaigne Inc. The results of operations of TransMontaigne Inc.'s terminals and pipelines prior to being acquired by us are reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements as being attributable to TransMontaigne Inc. ("Predecessor"). The acquired assets and liabilities have been recorded at TransMontaigne Inc.'s carryover basis.

        At the closing of our initial public offering on May 27, 2005, we acquired from TransMontaigne Inc. seven Florida terminals, including terminals located in Tampa, Port Manatee, Fisher Island, Port Everglades (North), Port Everglades (South), Cape Canaveral, and Jacksonville; and the Razorback Pipeline system, including the terminals located at Mt. Vernon, Missouri and Rogers, Arkansas in exchange for 120,000 common units, 2,872,266 subordinated units, a 2% general partner interest, and a cash payment of approximately $111.5 million. On January 1, 2006, we acquired from TransMontaigne Inc. the Mobile, Alabama terminal in exchange for a cash payment of approximately $17.9 million (See Note 3 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). On December 29, 2006, we

25



acquired from TransMontaigne Inc. the Brownsville, Texas terminal, twelve terminals along the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers ("River terminals"), and the Baton Rouge, Louisiana dock facility in exchange for a cash payment of approximately $135.0 million (See Note 3 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). The acquisitions of terminal and pipeline operations from TransMontaigne Inc. have been accounted for as transactions among entities under common control and, accordingly, prior periods include the activity of the acquired terminal and pipeline operations since the date common control was established. For acquisitions made by us from TransMontaigne Inc. prior to September 1, 2006, common control was established as of the date TransMontaigne Inc. purchased the terminal and pipeline operation. For acquisitions made by us from TransMontaigne Inc. on or after September 1, 2006, common control was established as of September 1, 2006 (the date Morgan Stanley Capital Group purchased TransMontaigne Inc.).

        The historical results of operations reflect the impact of the following acquisitions:

    the purchase of the Brownsville terminal, River terminals and the Baton Rouge, Louisiana dock facility by Morgan Stanley Capital Group, completed in September 2006 when it acquired TransMontaigne Inc., and subsequent acquisition by us from TransMontaigne Inc. in December 2006; and

    the purchase of the Mobile, Alabama terminal by TransMontaigne Inc., completed in August 2005, and subsequent acquisition by us from TransMontaigne Inc. in January 2006.

        Revenues.    We derive revenues from our terminal and pipeline transportation operations by charging fees for providing integrated terminaling, transportation and related services. Our revenues were as follows (in thousands):

  2007
  2006
Gulf Coast terminals   $ 10,792   $ 10,347
Midwest terminals and pipeline system     1,751     1,743
Brownsville terminal (since September 1, 2006)     3,986    
River terminals (since September 1, 2006)     4,667    
   
 
  Revenue   $ 21,196   $ 12,090
   
 

        Effective December 29, 2006, we acquired the Brownsville terminal, River terminals and the Baton Rouge, Louisiana dock facility from TransMontaigne Inc. The Brownsville terminal, River terminals and the Baton Rouge, Louisiana dock facility are included in our results of operations from September 1, 2006, the date of Morgan Stanley Capital Group's acquisition of TransMontaigne Inc.

26



        Throughput and Additive Injection Fees, Net.    We earn throughput fees for each barrel of product that is distributed at our terminals by our customers. Terminal throughput fees are based on the volume of product distributed at the facility's truck loading racks, generally at a standard rate per barrel of product. We provide additive injection services in connection with the delivery of product at our terminals. These fees generally are based on the volume of product injected and delivered over the rack at our terminals. The throughput and additive injection fees, net by business segments were as follows (in thousands):

 
  Three months ended
March 31,

 
  2007
  2006
Gulf Coast terminals   $ 7,033   $ 5,589
Midwest terminals and pipeline system     614     769
Brownsville terminal (since September 1, 2006)     1,501    
River terminals (since September 1, 2006)     1,011    
   
 
  Throughput and additive injection fees, net   $ 10,159   $ 6,358
   
 

        Effective September 1, 2006, we amended our Terminaling Services Agreement with TransMontaigne Inc. The amendment eliminated the retention by us of a loss allowance on product receipts at our Florida terminals and the collection by us of a management fee for managing and operating on behalf of TransMontaigne Inc. certain tank capacity owned by a utility. In exchange, the amendment provides for an increase in throughput fees charged on light and heavy oil volumes at our Florida terminals. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, we recognized approximately $1.5 million of additional throughput and additive injection fees, net due to the increase in the rate per barrel of product throughput by TransMontaigne Inc. at our Florida terminals.

        Included in the terminal throughput fees for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, are fees charged to TransMontaigne Inc. and Morgan Stanley Capital Group of approximately $7.9 and $5.9 million, respectively.

        Terminaling Storage Fees.    We provide storage capacity at our terminals. Terminaling storage fees generally are based on a rate per barrel of storage capacity per month and vary with the duration of the terminaling services agreement and the type of product. The terminaling storage fees by business segments were as follows (in thousands):

 
  Three months ended

        Pipeline Transportation Fees.    We earn pipeline transportation fees at our Razorback Pipeline based on the volume of product transported and the distance from the origin point to the delivery point. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission regulates the tariff on the Razorback Pipeline. Included in pipeline transportation fees for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, are fees charged to

27



TransMontaigne Inc. and Morgan Stanley Capital Group of approximately $0.6 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

        Management Fees and Reimbursed Costs.    We manage and operate for a major oil company certain tank capacity at our Port Everglades (South) terminal and receive reimbursement of its proportionate share of operating and maintenance costs. We also manage and operate for an affiliate of Mexico's state- owned petroleum company a bi-directional products pipeline connected to our Brownsville, Texas terminal facility and receive a management fee and reimbursement of costs. From May 27, 2005 through August 31, 2006, we managed and operated on behalf of TransMontaigne Inc. certain tank capacity owned by a utility and received a management fee from TransMontaigne Inc. Effective September 1, 2006, our agreement with TransMontaigne Inc. to manage and operate the utility's tank capacity was terminated. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, we recognized management fees of approximately $272,000 for managing and operating on behalf of TransMontaigne Inc. certain tank capacity owned by the utility. The management fees and reimbursed costs by business segments were as follows (in thousands):

The allocated general and administrative expenses were approximately $1.7 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, allocated general and administrative expenses include approximately $0.9 million related to the Brownsville and River terminals.

        The accompanying consolidated financial statements also include allocated insurance charges from TransMontaigne Inc. for allocations of insurance premiums to cover costs of insuring activities such as property, casualty, pollution, automobile, directors' and officers', and other insurable risks. The allocated insurance expenses were approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, allocated insurance expense includes approximately $163,000 related to the Brownsville and River terminals.

        For the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $3.0 million and $1.9 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2007, depreciation and amortization expense includes approximately $1.1 million related to the Brownsville and River terminals.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Our primary liquidity needs are to fund our distributions to unitholders, fund our capital expenditures and fund our working capital requirements. Prior to our initial public offering in May 2005, investments and advances from TransMontaigne Inc. were our primary means of funding our liquidity needs. Currently, our principal sources of funds to meet our liquidity needs are cash generated by operations, borrowings under our senior secured credit facility and debt and equity offerings.

        Excluding acquisitions, capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2007 and 2006, were approximately $2.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively, for terminal and pipeline facilities and assets to support these facilities. Excluding acquisitions, budgeted capital projects to be initiated during the year ending December 31, 2007, are estimated to range up to $60 million, which includes

30



approximately $5.0 million of capital expenditures to maintain our existing facilities. The budgeted capital projects, which are expected to be completed during 2008, include the following:

Terminal

  Description of project
  Incremental
Storage Capacity

 
   
  (in Bbls)

Brownsville   Increase LPG tank capacity   19,000
Tampa   Increase light oil tank capacity Improve truck rack capacity and functionality   265,000
Port Everglades   Increase light oil and residual oil tank capacity   900,000
River   Reactivate light oil tank capacity   185,000

        During 2007, we also expect to commence discussions with TransMontaigne Inc. regarding the acquisition of its Southeast terminaling operations with a goal of closing the transaction during the fourth quarter of 2007. TransMontaigne Inc.'s Southeast terminaling operations currently include 24 terminals with an aggregate active storage capacity of approximately 8.5 million barrels. We expect to issue additional debt or equity securities to finance all or a significant portion of the purchase price of the Southeast terminaling operations.

        Future capital expenditures will depend on numerous factors, including the availability, economics and cost of appropriate acquisitions which we identify and evaluate; the economics, cost and required regulatory approvals with respect to the expansion and enhancement of existing systems and facilities; customer demand for the services we provide; local, state and federal governmental regulations; environmental compliance requirements; and the availability of debt financing and equity capital on acceptable terms.

        Senior Secured Credit Facility.    On December 22, 2006, we entered into a $225 million amended and restated senior secured credit facility ("Senior Secured Credit Facility") with a consortium of lending institutions. The Senior Secured Credit Facility is composed of a $75 million term loan facility and a $150 million revolving credit facility. We may elect to have loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest either (i) at a rate of LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.50% to 2.50% depending on the total leverage ratio then in effect, or (ii) at the base rate (the greater of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.5% or (b) the prime rate) plus a margin ranging from 0.5% to 1.5% depending on the total leverage ratio then in effect. We also pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.30% to 0.50% per annum, depending on the total leverage ratio then in effect, on the total amount of unused commitments. Our obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facility are secured by a first priority security interest in favor of the lenders in our assets, including cash, accounts receivable, inventory, general intangibles, investment property, contract rights and real property.

        The terms of the Senior Secured Credit Facility include covenants that restrict our ability to make cash distributions and acquisitions. We may make distributions of cash to the extent of our "available cash" as defined in our partnership agreement. We may make acquisitions meeting the definition of "permitted acquisitions" which include: acquisitions in which the consideration paid for such acquisition, together with the consideration paid for other acquisitions in the same fiscal year, does not exceed $25 million; acquisitions that arise from the exercise of options under the omnibus agreement with TransMontaigne Inc.; and acquisitions in which we have (1) provided the agent prior written documentation in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the agent demonstrating our pro forma compliance with all financial and other covenants contained in the Senior Secured Credit Facility after giving effect to such acquisition and (2) satisfied all other conditions precedent to such acquisition which the agent may reasonably require in connection therewith. The principal balance of loans and any accrued and unpaid interest are due and payable in full on the maturity date, December 22, 2011.

31



        The Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains customary representations and warranties (including those relating to organization and authorization, compliance with laws, absence of defaults, material agreements and litigation) and customary events of default (including those relating to monetary defaults, covenant defaults, cross defaults and bankruptcy events). The primary financial covenants contained in the Senior Secured Credit Facility are (i) a total leverage ratio test (not to exceed 5.75 times through the earlier of September 30, 2007 or the completion of a new equity offering of not less than $65 million, and not to exceed 4.5 times thereafter), (ii) a senior secured leverage ratio test (not to exceed 5.75 times through the earlier of September 30, 2007 or the completion of a new equity offering of not less than $65 million, and not to exceed 4.0 times thereafter), and (iii) a minimum interest coverage ratio test (not to be less than 2.25 times through September 30, 2007, then 2.5 times through December 31, 2007, and not less than 2.75 times thereafter). These financial covenants are based on a defined financial performance measure within the credit facility known as "Consolidated EBITDA."

        For each of the quarters ending on or before December 31, 2006, the Senior Secured Credit Facility stipulates our Consolidated EBITDA at approximately $9.0 million per quarter for purposes of calculating the total leverage ratio and the senior secured leverage ratio. That assumption is reflected in the following calculation of the "total leverage ratio" and "senior secured leverage ratio" contained in the Senior Secured Credit Facility.

        If we were to fail either financial performance covenant, or any other covenant contained in the Senior Secured Credit Facility, we would seek a waiver from our lenders under such facility. If we were unable to obtain a waiver from our lenders and the default remained uncured after any applicable grace period, we would be in breach of the Senior Secured Credit Facility, and the lenders would be entitled to declare all outstanding borrowings immediately due and payable.

        We believe that our future cash expected to be provided by operating activities, available borrowing capacity under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, and our relationship with institutional lenders and equity investors should enable us to meet our planned capital and liquidity requirements through at least the maturity date of our Senior Secured Credit Facility (December 2011).


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        The information contained in Item 3 updates, and should be read in conjunction with, information set forth in Part II, Item 7A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, in addition to the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements, accompanying notes and management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations presented in Items 1 and 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. There are no material changes in the market risks faced by us from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

        Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices. The principal market risk to which we are exposed is interest rate risk associated with borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility. Borrowings under our Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR or the lender's base rate. We currently do not manage our exposure to interest rates, but we may in the future. At March 31, 2007, we had outstanding borrowings of $189.7 million under our Senior Secured Credit Facility. Based on the outstanding balance of our variable-interest-rate debt at March 31, 2007, and assuming market interest rates increase or decrease by 100 basis points, the potential annual increase or decrease in interest expense is approximately $1.9 million.

        We generally do not purchase or market products that we handle or transport and, therefore, we do not have material direct exposure to changes in commodity prices, except for the value of product gains and losses arising from our terminaling services agreements with certain of our customers. We do not use derivative commodity instruments to manage the commodity risk associated with the product we may own at any given time. Generally, to the extent we are entitled to retain product pursuant to terminaling services agreements with certain of our customers, we sell the product to TransMontaigne Inc. As a result, we do not have a material direct exposure to commodity price fluctuations.


ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

        We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit to the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the Commission's rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and principal financial officer (whom we refer to as our Certifying Officer), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management evaluated, with the participation of our Certifying Officer, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2007, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, our Certifying Officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2007, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Risk Factors," in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, filed on March 16, 2007, which risk factors are expressly incorporated into this report by reference, are important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations and may adversely affect our business and results of operations, include, but are not limited to:
