Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The Company revised its second-quarter crude throughput estimate downward from a previously disclosed 115,000 bpd to 108,000 bpd. This reduction follows a small fire at the continuous catalyst reformer (CCR) in May 2011. The Company anticipates operating at reduced throughputs until the scheduled turnaround in October 2011.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary

The primary risk identified is the temporary reduction in production capacity through October 2011. No specific financial guidance or other contingencies were detailed in this filing.
