PAA » Topics » The additional pipeline assets acquired in the merger will increase the combined companys compliance costs and liabilities.

This excerpt taken from the PAA 10-Q filed Aug 4, 2006.

The additional pipeline assets acquired in the merger will increase the combined company’s compliance costs and liabilities.

                Pro forma for the merger, the combined company would own more than three times the miles of pipeline Plains owned three years ago.  As Plains has expanded its pipeline assets, it has experienced a corresponding increase in the number of releases of crude oil to the environment.  The combined company will be exposed to potentially substantial expense, including clean up and remediation costs, fines and penalties, and third party claims for personal injury or property damage related to past or future releases.  Some of these expenses could increase by amounts disproportionately higher than the relative increase in pipeline mileage and the increase in revenues associated therewith.  The incurrence of such expenses not covered by insurance, indemnity or reserves could materially adversely affect the combined company’s results of operations.
