VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION, PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION, AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
As used in this report, the terms “Valero,” “we,” “us,” or “our” may refer to Valero Energy Corporation, one or more of its consolidated subsidiaries, or all of them taken as a whole.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Valero and subsidiaries in which Valero has a controlling interest. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in significant non-controlled entities are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
These unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature unless disclosed otherwise. Financial information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 included in these Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements is derived from our unaudited consolidated financial statements. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2007.
The consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2006 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. As discussed in Note 3, the assets and liabilities related to the Lima Refinery as of December 31, 2006 have been reclassified as held for sale, and the results of operations of the Lima Refinery have been presented as discontinued operations in the statements of income for all periods presented.
On December 22, 2006, we sold our remaining ownership interest in NuStar GP Holdings, LLC (formerly Valero GP Holdings, LLC), which indirectly owns the general partner interest, the incentive distribution rights, and a 21.4% limited partner interest in NuStar Energy L.P. (formerly Valero L.P.). As a result, our consolidated statements of income reflect no equity in earnings of NuStar Energy L.P. subsequent to December 21, 2006.
Reclassifications
Previously reported amounts have been reclassified to present the operations of the Lima Refinery as discontinued operations as discussed above. In addition, operating revenues, cost of sales, and retail selling expenses reported in our consolidated statements of income for 2006 have been reclassified for certain credit card transactions. Commencing January 1, 2007, fees received from our distributors and dealers associated with certain credit card transactions processed on behalf of those distributors and dealers are being netted against third-party processing costs incurred on such transactions to better reflect the nature of the credit card transactions. These credit card reclassifications increased (decreased) amounts previously reported in 2006 as follows (in millions):

2. ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
FASB Statement No. 155
In February 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement No. 155, “Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments,” which amends Statement No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” and Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” This statement improves the financial reporting of certain hybrid financial instruments and simplifies the accounting for these instruments. In particular, Statement No. 155 (i) permits fair value remeasurement for any hybrid financial instrument that contains an embedded derivative that otherwise would require bifurcation, (ii) clarifies which interest-only and principal-only strips are not subject to the requirements of Statement No. 133, (iii) establishes a requirement to evaluate interests in securitized financial assets to identify interests that are freestanding derivatives or that are hybrid financial instruments that contain an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation, (iv) clarifies that concentrations of credit risk in the form of subordination are not embedded derivatives, and (v) amends Statement No. 140 to eliminate the prohibition on a qualifying special-purpose entity holding a derivative financial instrument that pertains to a beneficial interest other than another derivative financial instrument. The adoption of Statement No. 155 on January 1, 2007 has not affected our financial position or results of operations.
FASB Statement No. 156
In March 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 156, “Accounting for Servicing of Financial Assets,” which amends Statement No. 140, “Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities.” Statement No. 156 requires the initial recognition at fair value of a servicing asset or servicing liability when an obligation to service a financial asset is undertaken by entering into a servicing contract. The adoption of Statement No. 156 on January 1, 2007 has not affected our financial position or results of operations.
FASB Interpretation No. 48
In June 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes—an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. If a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, then an enterprise is required to recognize in its financial statements the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007 did not materially affect our financial position or results of operations.

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
We have elected to classify any interest expense related to the underpayment of income taxes in “income tax expense” in our consolidated statements of income. Any penalties related to the underpayment of income taxes are recorded in the corresponding expense category in our consolidated statements of income.
EITF Issue No. 06-3
In June 2006, the FASB ratified its consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-3, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross versus Net Presentation)” (EITF No. 06-3). The scope of EITF No. 06-3 includes any tax assessed by a governmental authority that is imposed concurrent with or subsequent to a revenue-producing transaction between a seller and a customer. For taxes within the scope of this issue that are significant in amount, the consensus requires the following disclosures: (i) the accounting policy elected for these taxes and (ii) the amount of the taxes reflected gross in the income statement on an interim and annual basis for all periods presented. The disclosure of those taxes can be provided on an aggregate basis. We adopted the consensus on January 1, 2007. We present excise taxes on sales by our U.S. retail system on a gross basis with supplemental information regarding the amount of such taxes included in revenues provided in a footnote on the face of the income statement. All other excise taxes are presented on a net basis in the income statement.
FASB Statement No. 157
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements.” Statement No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value under GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measures. Statement No. 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption encouraged. The provisions of Statement No. 157 are to be applied on a prospective basis, with the exception of certain financial instruments for which retrospective application is required. The adoption of Statement No. 157 is not expected to materially affect our financial position or results of operations.
FASB Statement No. 159
In February 2007, the FASB issued Statement No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” Statement No. 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. Statement No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007, with early adoption permitted provided the entity also elects to apply the provisions of Statement No. 157. We do not expect the adoption of Statement No. 159 to have any impact on our financial position or results of operations.
3. DISPOSITION OF LIMA REFINERY
On May 2, 2007, we entered into an agreement to sell our refinery in Lima, Ohio to Husky Refining Company (Husky), a wholly owned subsidiary of Husky Energy Inc. As a result, the assets and liabilities related to the Lima Refinery as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 have been presented in the consolidated balance sheets as “assets held for sale” and “liabilities related to assets held for sale,” respectively. In addition, the consolidated statements of income reflect the operations related to the Lima Refinery in “income from discontinued operations, net of income tax expense” for all periods presented.

On July 3, 2007, we consummated the sale of our Lima Refinery to Husky with an effective date of July 1, 2007. Proceeds from the sale were $1.9 billion, plus $540 million representing a preliminary working capital settlement. The working capital settlement is expected to be finalized within 90 days after the effective date of the sale. In connection with the sale, we entered into a transition services agreement with Husky under which we agreed to provide certain accounting and administrative services to Husky beginning July 3, 2007, with the services terminating by July 31, 2008.

5. INVESTMENT IN AND TRANSACTIONS WITH NUSTAR ENERGY L.P.
Our ownership interest in NuStar Energy L.P. as of June 30, 2006 was 23.4%, which was composed of a 2% general partner interest, incentive distribution rights, and a 21.4% limited partner interest. The limited partner interest was represented by 10,222,630 common units of NuStar Energy L.P., of which 9,599,322 were previously subordinated units that converted to common units on May 8, 2006 upon the termination of the subordination period in accordance with the terms of NuStar Energy L.P.’s partnership agreement.
Through the date of termination of the subordination period, NuStar Energy L.P. had issued common units to the public on three separate occasions, which had diluted our ownership percentage. These three issuances resulted in increases (or credits, known as SAB 51 credits due to the Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin that provides accounting guidance for such credits) in our proportionate share of NuStar Energy L.P.’s capital because, in each case, the issuance price per unit exceeded our carrying amount per unit at the time of issuance. We had not recognized any SAB 51 credits in our consolidated financial statements through March 31, 2006 and were not permitted to do so until the subordinated units converted to common units. In conjunction with the conversion of the subordinated units held by us to common units in the second quarter of 2006, we recognized the entire balance of $158 million in SAB 51 credits as an increase in our investment in NuStar Energy L.P. and $101 million after tax as an increase to “additional paid-in capital” in our consolidated balance sheet.
NuStar GP Holdings, LLC completed public offerings in July and December 2006 through which we sold all of our ownership interest in NuStar GP Holdings, LLC. As a result, we no longer owned any interest in NuStar Energy L.P. as of December 31, 2006. Financial information reported by NuStar Energy L.P. for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 is summarized below (in millions):

Related-Party Transactions
Through December 31, 2006, we provided NuStar Energy L.P. with certain corporate functions for an annual fee as prescribed by a services agreement. Effective January 1, 2007, the services agreement was amended to provide for limited services. The amended services agreement provided for a termination date of December 31, 2010, unless we terminated the agreement earlier, in which case we were required to pay a termination fee of $13 million. In April, we notified NuStar Energy L.P. of our decision to terminate the services agreement. Accordingly, the $13 million termination fee was accrued and paid during the second quarter of 2007.

6. DEBT
On February 1, 2007, we redeemed our 9.25% senior notes for $183 million, or 104.625% of stated value. These notes had a carrying amount of $187 million on the date of redemption, resulting in a gain of $4 million that was included in “other income (expense), net” in the consolidated statement of income.
In April 2007, we repaid in full at the scheduled maturity date $230 million related to our 6.125% notes. Also in April 2007, we borrowed $3 billion under a 364-day term credit agreement with a financial institution to fund the accelerated share repurchase program discussed in Note 7. The term loan bore interest at LIBOR plus a margin, or an alternate base rate as defined under the term credit agreement. In May 2007, we repaid $500 million of the borrowings under the term credit agreement. The remaining balance of $2.5 billion was repaid in June 2007 using available cash and proceeds from our issuance of long-term notes described below.
On June 8, 2007, we issued $750 million of 6.125% notes due June 15, 2017 and $1.5 billion of 6.625% notes due June 15, 2037. Proceeds from the issuance of these notes totaled $2.245 billion, before deducting underwriting discounts of $18 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we had no borrowings under our revolving credit facilities or our short-term uncommitted bank credit facilities.
7. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Treasury Stock
During the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, we purchased 61.9 million and 20.4 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $4.2 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively. These purchases were made in connection with the administration of our employee benefit plans and the $6 billion common stock purchase program authorized by our board of directors, including the effect of the accelerated share repurchase program discussed below. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we issued 11.4 million shares from treasury at an average cost of $61.28 per share, and for the six months ended June 30, 2006, we issued 9.6 million shares from treasury at an average cost of $53.52 per share, for our employee benefit plans.
Accelerated Share Repurchase Program
On April 25, 2007, our board of directors approved an amendment to our $2 billion common stock purchase program to increase the authorized purchases under the program to $6 billion. In conjunction with the increase in our common stock purchase program, we entered into an agreement with a financial institution to purchase $3 billion of our shares under an accelerated share repurchase program, and in late

VALERO ENERGY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
April, 42.1 million shares were purchased under this agreement. As described in Note 6 above, the purchase of these shares was initially funded with a 364-day term credit agreement, which we subsequently replaced with longer-term financing. The cost of the shares purchased under this accelerated share repurchase program was to be adjusted at the expiration of the program, with the final purchase cost based on a discount to the average trading price of our common stock, weighted by the daily volume of shares traded, during the program period. Any adjustment to the cost could be paid in cash or stock, at our option. Prior to the settlement of the accelerated share repurchase program, the number of shares of our common stock included in the calculation of “earnings per common share – assuming dilution” for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2007 included the number of shares that would have been payable under the agreement assuming we elected settlement in shares of our common stock. The weighted-average number of shares included in each respective period was based on the initial shares purchased under the program multiplied by the price adjustment as of June 30, 2007 using the final purchase price formula described above, divided by our closing price as of June 30, 2007.
The accelerated share repurchase program was completed on July 23, 2007, resulting in an additional $94.5 million payment by us for the shares purchased. At that time, we elected to pay this additional amount in cash.
Common Stock Dividends
On July 12, 2007, our board of directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per common share payable on September 6, 2007 to holders of record at the close of business on August 8, 2007.

9. STATEMENTS OF CASH FLOWS
In order to determine net cash provided by operating activities, net income is adjusted by, among other things, changes in current assets and current liabilities as follows (in millions):
                 
   
Six Months Ended June 30,
   
2007
 
2006
Decrease (increase) in current assets:
               
Receivables, net
  $ (268 )   $ (648 )
Inventories
    (638 )     (573 )
Income taxes receivable
    32       46  
Prepaid expenses and other
    14       (105 )
Increase (decrease) in current liabilities:
               
Accounts payable
    464       1,316  
Accrued expenses
    (71 )     (148 )
Taxes other than income taxes
    3       (1 )
Income taxes payable
    524       494  
 
               
Changes in current assets and current liabilities
  $ 60     $ 381  
 
               
The above changes in current assets and current liabilities differ from changes between amounts reflected in the applicable consolidated balance sheets for the respective periods for the following reasons:
   
the amounts shown above exclude changes in cash and temporary cash investments, deferred income taxes, and current portion of long-term debt and capital lease obligations, as well as the effect of certain noncash investing and financing activities discussed below;
 
   
previously accrued capital expenditures, deferred turnaround and catalyst costs, and contingent earn-out payments, as well as advance proceeds related to the sale of the Lima Refinery, are reflected in investing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows;
 
   
changes in assets held for sale and liabilities related to assets held for sale in the consolidated balance sheets are reflected in the line item to which the changes relate in the table above and in the consolidated statements of cash flows; and
 
   
certain differences between consolidated balance sheet changes and consolidated statement of cash flow changes reflected above result from translating foreign currency denominated amounts at different exchange rates.
There were no significant noncash investing or financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007.
Noncash investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 included the pre-tax recognition of $158 million of SAB 51 credits related to our investment in NuStar Energy L.P. as discussed in Note 5. Noncash investing activities also included adjustments to property, plant and equipment, goodwill and certain current and noncurrent assets and liabilities resulting from adjustments to the purchase price allocation related to the acquisitions of Premcor and UDS. Noncash financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2006 included the conversion of 747,260 shares of preferred stock into 1,481,066 shares of our common stock.

Cash flows related to the discontinued operations of the Lima Refinery have been combined with the cash flows from continuing operations within each category in the consolidated statement of cash flows for each period presented. Cash provided by operating activities related to our discontinued results of operations was $260 million and $113 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Cash used in investing activities related to the Lima Refinery were $14 million and $70 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
Cash flows related to interest and income taxes were as follows (in millions):
                 
   
Six Months Ended June 30,
   
2007
 
2006
Interest paid (net of amount capitalized)
  $ 139     $ 164  
Income taxes paid (net of tax refunds received)
    811       569  
10. PRICE RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES
The net gain (loss) recognized in income representing the amount of hedge ineffectiveness was as follows (in millions):
                                 
   
Three Months Ended June 30,
 
Six Months Ended June 30,
   
2007
 
2006
 
2007
 
2006
Fair value hedges
  $ (1 )   $ (3 )   $ (2 )   $ (6 )
Cash flow hedges
    (7 )     5       (6 )     5  
The above amounts were included in “cost of sales” in the consolidated statements of income. No component of the derivative instruments’ gains or losses was excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. No amounts were recognized in income for hedged firm commitments that no longer qualify as fair value hedges.
For cash flow hedges, gains and losses reported in “accumulated other comprehensive income” in the consolidated balance sheets are reclassified into “cost of sales” when the forecasted transactions affect income. During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we recognized in “accumulated other comprehensive income” unrealized after-tax losses of $87 million on certain cash flow hedges, primarily related to forward sales of distillates and associated forward purchases of crude oil, with $48 million of cumulative after-tax losses on cash flow hedges remaining in “accumulated other comprehensive income” as of June 30, 2007. We expect that the deferred losses as of June 30, 2007 will be reclassified into “cost of sales” over the next nine months as a result of hedged transactions that are forecasted to occur. The amount ultimately realized in income, however, will differ as commodity prices change. For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, there were no amounts reclassified from “accumulated other comprehensive income” into income as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting.
11. INCOME TAXES
As discussed in Note 2, on January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FIN 48. We did not recognize a significant change in our liability for uncertain tax positions as a result of our implementation of FIN 48; however, certain amounts previously reported in “deferred income taxes” were reclassified to “other long-

term liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 2007. In accordance with the provisions of FIN 48, prior period amounts were not reclassified. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of January 1, 2007 was $179 million of which $85 million, if recognized, would impact our effective rate. Accrued liabilities for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits were $43 million as of January 1, 2007. We anticipate that any matters resolved with tax authorities within the next 12 months will not result in a material change in our financial position or results of operations. As of June 30, 2007, we remain subject to examination in the U.S. federal and various state jurisdictions for the tax years from 1999 through 2006 and Canadian federal and various provincial jurisdictions for tax years from 2001 to 2006.

As of June 30, 2007, we had an accounts receivable sales facility with a group of third-party financial institutions to sell on a revolving basis up to $1 billion of eligible trade receivables, which matures in August 2008. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the amount of eligible receivables sold to the third-party financial institutions was $1 billion.

Contingent Earn-Out Agreements
In June 2007, we made a previously accrued payment of $25 million related to the Delaware City Refinery contingent earn-out agreement. In both January 2007 and January 2006, we made previously accrued earn-out payments of $50 million related to the acquisition of the St. Charles Refinery. In the second quarter of 2006, we made an earn-out contingency payment of $26 million to Salomon Inc in conjunction with our acquisition of Basis Petroleum, Inc.
The following table summarizes the aggregate payments we have made through June 30, 2007 and payment limitations related to the following acquisitions (in millions):

Tax Matters
We are subject to extensive tax liabilities, including federal, state, and foreign income taxes and transactional taxes such as excise, sales/use, payroll, franchise, withholding, and ad valorem taxes. New tax laws and regulations and changes in existing tax laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed that could result in increased expenditures for tax liabilities in the future. Certain of these liabilities are subject to periodic audits by the respective taxing authority. Subsequent changes to our tax liabilities as a result of these audits may subject us to interest and penalties.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Government of Aruba (GOA) enacted a turnover tax on revenues from the sale of goods produced and services rendered in Aruba. The turnover tax, which is 3% for on-island sales and services and 1% on export sales, is being assessed by the GOA on sales by our Aruba Refinery. However, due to a previous tax holiday that was granted to our Aruba Refinery by the GOA through December 31, 2010, we believe that sales by our Aruba Refinery should not be subject to this turnover tax. As a result, no amounts have been accrued with respect to this turnover tax. We have filed a request for arbitration with the Netherlands Arbitration Institute pursuant to which we will seek to enforce our rights under the tax holiday.
Litigation
MTBE Litigation
As of August 1, 2007, we were named as a defendant in 82 active cases alleging liability related to MTBE contamination in groundwater. The plaintiffs are generally water providers, governmental authorities, and private water companies alleging that refiners and marketers of MTBE and gasoline containing MTBE are liable for manufacturing or distributing a defective product. We have been named in these lawsuits together with many other refining industry companies. We are being sued primarily as a refiner and marketer of MTBE and gasoline containing MTBE. We do not own or operate gasoline station facilities in most of the geographic locations in which damage is alleged to have occurred. The lawsuits generally seek individual, unquantified compensatory and punitive damages, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees. Although most of the cases are pending in federal court and consolidated for pre-trial proceedings in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (Multi-District Litigation Docket No. 1358, In re: Methyl-Tertiary Butyl Ether Products Liability Litigation), a recent ruling on

jurisdiction from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit may result in a remand of many of the cases to state court. Two cases, Riverview Water District and California Water Services Company, have already been remanded to state courts in California. Valero is involved in four cases that have been selected as “focus cases” for discovery and pre-trial motions. One of these, the Suffolk County Water Authority case, is scheduled for trial in March 2008. Activity in the “non-focus” cases is generally stayed. We believe that we have strong defenses to these claims and are vigorously defending the cases. We have recorded a loss contingency liability with respect to this matter in accordance with FASB Statement No. 5. However, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, we believe that it is reasonably possible (as defined in FASB Statement No. 5) that we may suffer a loss with respect to one or more of the lawsuits in excess of the amount accrued. We believe that such an outcome in any one of these lawsuits would not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial position. However, we believe that an adverse result in all or a substantial number of these cases could have a material effect on our results of operations and financial position. An estimate of the possible loss or range of loss from an adverse result in all or substantially all of these cases cannot reasonably be made.
Retail Fuel Temperature Litigation
Along with several other defendants in the retail petroleum marketing business, as of August 1, 2007, we were named in 17 consumer class action lawsuits relating to fuel temperature. The complaints, filed in federal courts in several states, allege that because fuel volume increases with fuel temperature, the defendants have violated state consumer protection laws by failing to adjust the volume of fuel when the fuel temperature exceeded 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The complaints seek to certify classes of retail consumers who purchased fuel in various locations. The complaints seek an order compelling the installation of temperature correction devices as well as associated monetary relief. In June 2007, the federal lawsuits were consolidated into a multidistrict litigation case in the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas (Multi-District Litigation Docket No. 1840, In re: Motor Fuel Temperature Sales Practices Litigation). We believe that we have several strong defenses to these lawsuits and intend to contest them. We have not recorded a loss contingency liability with respect to this matter, but due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, we believe that it is reasonably possible (as defined in FASB Statement No. 5) that we may suffer a loss with respect to one or more of the lawsuits. An estimate of the possible loss or range of loss from an adverse result in all or substantially all of these cases cannot reasonably be made.
Other Litigation
We are also a party to additional claims and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that there is only a remote likelihood that future costs related to known contingent liabilities related to these legal proceedings would have a material adverse impact on our consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Form 10-Q, including without limitation our discussion below under the heading “Results of Operations — Outlook,” includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. You can identify our forward-looking statements by the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “plan,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “projection,” “predict,” “budget,” “forecast,” “goal,” “guidance,” “target,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “may,” and similar expressions.
These forward-looking statements include, among other things, statements regarding:
   
future refining margins, including gasoline and distillate margins;
 
   
future retail margins, including gasoline, diesel, home heating oil, and convenience store merchandise margins;
 
   
expectations regarding feedstock costs, including crude oil differentials, and operating expenses;
 
   
anticipated levels of crude oil and refined product inventories;
 
   
our anticipated level of capital investments, including deferred refinery turnaround and catalyst costs and capital expenditures for environmental and other purposes, and the effect of those capital investments on our results of operations;
 
   
anticipated trends in the supply of and demand for crude oil and other feedstocks and refined products in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere;
 
   
expectations regarding environmental, tax, and other regulatory initiatives; and
 
   
the effect of general economic and other conditions on refining and retail industry fundamentals.
We based our forward-looking statements on our current expectations, estimates, and projections about ourselves and our industry. We caution that these statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that we cannot predict. In addition, we based many of these forward-looking statements on assumptions about future events that may prove to be inaccurate. Accordingly, our actual results may differ materially from the future performance that we have expressed or forecast in the forward-looking statements. Differences between actual results and any future performance suggested in these forward-looking statements could result from a variety of factors, including the following:
   
acts of terrorism aimed at either our facilities or other facilities that could impair our ability to produce or transport refined products or receive feedstocks;
 
   
political and economic conditions in nations that consume refined products, including the United States, and in crude oil producing regions, including the Middle East and South America;
 
   
the domestic and foreign supplies of refined products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, home heating oil, and petrochemicals;
 
   
the domestic and foreign supplies of crude oil and other feedstocks;
 
   
the ability of the members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) to agree on and to maintain crude oil price and production controls;
 
   
the level of consumer demand, including seasonal fluctuations;
 
   
refinery overcapacity or undercapacity;
 
   
the actions taken by competitors, including both pricing and the expansion and retirement of refining capacity in response to market conditions;
 
   
environmental, tax, and other regulations at the municipal, state, and federal levels and in foreign countries;

30


Table of Contents

   
the level of foreign imports of refined products;
 
   
accidents or other unscheduled shutdowns affecting our refineries, machinery, pipelines, or equipment, or those of our suppliers or customers;
 
   
changes in the cost or availability of transportation for feedstocks and refined products;
 
   
the price, availability, and acceptance of alternative fuels and alternative-fuel vehicles;
 
   
delay of, cancellation of, or failure to implement planned capital projects and realize the various assumptions and benefits projected for such projects or cost overruns in constructing such planned capital projects;
 
   
earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, and irregular weather, which can unforeseeably affect the price or availability of natural gas, crude oil and other feedstocks, and refined products;
 
   
rulings, judgments, or settlements in litigation or other legal or regulatory matters, including unexpected environmental remediation costs, in excess of any reserves or insurance coverage;
 
   
legislative or regulatory action, including the introduction or enactment of federal, state, municipal, or foreign legislation or rulemakings, which may adversely affect our business or operations;
 
   
changes in the credit ratings assigned to our debt securities and trade credit;
 
   
changes in currency exchange rates, including the value of the Canadian dollar relative to the U.S. dollar; and
 
   
overall economic conditions.
Any one of these factors, or a combination of these factors, could materially affect our future results of operations and whether any forward-looking statements ultimately prove to be accurate.

OVERVIEW
In this overview, we describe some of the primary factors that we believe affected our operations in the first six months of 2007. Our profitability is substantially determined by the spread between the price of refined products and the price of crude oil, referred to as the “refined product margin.” The strong industry fundamentals for refined products that we experienced throughout 2006 continued during the first six months of 2007. Gasoline and distillate demand in the United States remained strong through the first six months of 2007, and growing worldwide demand has increased competition for gasoline and distillate supplies. In addition, other factors such as unscheduled refinery outages and the implementation of more restrictive sulfur regulations on gasoline and diesel resulted in tight supplies of refined products and favorable refined product margins during the first six months of 2007.
Since approximately 65% of our total crude oil throughput represents sour crude oil and acidic sweet crude oil feedstocks that are purchased at prices less than sweet crude oil, our profitability is also significantly affected by the spread between sweet crude oil and sour crude oil prices, referred to as the “sour crude oil differential.” First and second quarter 2007 sour crude oil differentials relative to West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil declined compared to the strong 2006 first and second quarter differentials as the price of WTI weakened. However, the sour crude oil differentials relative to light, sweet crude oils other than WTI in the first six months of 2007 were comparable to those experienced in the first six months of 2006.
On February 16, 2007, our McKee Refinery was shut down due to a fire originating in its propane deasphalting unit, resulting in estimated reduced operating income of approximately $250 million in the first six months of 2007. The refinery recommenced operations on April 12 at a reduced throughput rate, with run rates by the end of June having increased to about 90% of the refinery’s capacity.
The favorable gasoline and distillate margins discussed above contributed to strong operating results in the second quarter and first six months of 2007. We reported net income of $2.2 billion, or $3.89 per share, for the second quarter of 2007 compared to $1.9 billion, or $2.98 per share, for the second quarter of 2006, and net income of $3.4 billion, or $5.68 per share, for the first six months of 2007 compared to $2.7 billion, or $4.29 per share, for the first six months of 2006. As a result of these strong earnings during the first six months of 2007, we generated $4.4 billion of net cash from operating activities. During the second quarter of 2007, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase program as discussed in Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under which we purchased 42.1 million shares of our common stock for $3 billion, which was partially financed by $2.25 billion of long-term notes issued in the second quarter.
Effective July 1, 2007, we consummated the sale of our refinery in Lima, Ohio to Husky Refining Company (Husky), a wholly owned subsidiary of Husky Energy Inc. The sales price was $1.9 billion, plus $540 million for a preliminary working capital settlement.

The following notes relate to references on pages 33 through 36.
(a)  
On May 2, 2007, we entered into an agreement to sell our Lima Refinery to Husky. Therefore, the results of operations of the Lima Refinery are reported as discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and all refining operating highlights, both consolidated and for the Mid-Continent region, exclude the Lima Refinery for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The sale of the Lima Refinery was consummated effective July 1, 2007.
 
(b)  
Certain amounts previously reported in 2006 for operating revenues, cost of sales, and retail selling expenses have been reclassified for comparability with amounts reported in 2007.
 
(c)  
On December 22, 2006, we sold our remaining ownership interest in NuStar GP Holdings, LLC (formerly Valero GP Holdings, LLC), which indirectly owns the general partner interest, the incentive distribution rights, and a 21.4% limited partner interest in NuStar Energy L.P. (formerly Valero L.P.). As a result, the financial highlights reflect no equity in earnings of NuStar Energy L.P. subsequent to December 21, 2006.
 
(d)  
Throughput margin per barrel represents operating revenues less cost of sales divided by throughput volumes.
 
(e)  
Other products primarily include gas oils, No. 6 fuel oil, petroleum coke, and asphalt.
 
(f)  
The regions reflected herein contain the following refineries: the Gulf Coast refining region includes the Corpus Christi East, Corpus Christi West, Texas City, Houston, Three Rivers, Krotz Springs, St. Charles, Aruba, and Port Arthur Refineries; the Mid-Continent refining region includes the McKee, Ardmore, and Memphis Refineries; the Northeast refining region includes the Quebec City, Paulsboro, and Delaware City Refineries; and the West Coast refining region includes the Benicia and Wilmington Refineries.

Table of Contents

General
Operating revenues decreased 5% for the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006 primarily as a result of lower sales volumes between the two periods. Operating income of $3.2 billion and income from continuing operations of $2.1 billion for the three months ended June 30, 2007 increased approximately 17% and 13%, respectively, from the corresponding amounts in the second quarter of 2006 primarily due to a $454 million increase in refining segment operating income. The refining segment operating income and income from continuing operations exclude the operations of the Lima Refinery which was classified as discontinued operations due to our pending sale of that refinery as discussed in Note 3 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Refining
Operating income for our refining segment increased from $2.9 billion for the second quarter of 2006 to $3.3 billion for the second quarter of 2007, resulting mainly from a 16% increase in throughput margin per barrel, partially offset by a $128 million increase in refining operating expenses (including depreciation and amortization expense) and a 49,000 barrel-per-day decrease in throughput volumes.
Total refining throughput margins for the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006 were impacted by the following factors:
   
Overall gasoline and distillate margins increased in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006. The improvement in refined product margins for the second quarter of 2007 was primarily due to an increase in demand combined with a decline in refined product inventory levels resulting from various factors, including lower imports, more stringent product specifications and regulations, and unplanned refinery outages.
 
   
Sour crude oil feedstock differentials to WTI crude oil during the second quarter of 2007 were lower than the differentials in the second quarter of 2006. However, other light, sweet crude oils priced at a premium to WTI in the second quarter of 2007; thus, sour crude oil feedstock differentials relative to those other light, sweet crude oils in the second quarter of 2007 were comparable to the wide differentials experienced in the second quarter of 2006. These wide differentials are attributable to continued ample supplies of sour crude oils and heavy sour residual fuel oils on the world market. Differentials on sour crude oil feedstocks also continued to benefit from increased demand for sweet crude oil resulting from lower sulfur specifications for gasoline and diesel and a global increase in refined product demand.
 
   
Margins on other refined products such as propylene, petroleum coke, and sulfur improved from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007 due to a decrease in the price of crude oil between the periods.
 
   
Throughput volumes declined by 49,000 barrels per day in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the second quarter of 2006 due mainly to a continuing reduction in throughput volumes at our McKee Refinery as a result of a fire originating in its propane deasphalting unit in February 2007.
Refining operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, were 8% higher for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2006 due primarily to increases in employee compensation and related benefits, energy costs, and maintenance expense. Refining depreciation and amortization expense increased 22% from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007 primarily due to the implementation of new capital projects and increased turnaround and catalyst amortization.

Retail
Retail operating income of $56 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 was approximately 22% higher than the $46 million reported for the quarter ended June 30, 2006. This increase in operating income was mainly attributable to an approximate $0.06 per gallon increase in average fuel margins in our U.S. retail operations, partially offset by increased selling expenses of $16 million attributable to costs associated with a reorganization of our U.S. retail operations.
Corporate Expenses and Other
General and administrative expenses, including corporate depreciation and amortization expense, increased $9 million from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007. This increase was primarily due to a $13 million termination fee paid in the second quarter of 2007 for the cancellation of our services agreement with NuStar Energy L.P., partially offset by a decrease in stock-based compensation expense from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007.
Equity in earnings of NuStar Energy L.P. is not reflected in the second quarter of 2007 due to the sale of our remaining ownership interest in NuStar GP Holdings, LLC in December 2006.
Income tax expense increased $179 million from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007 mainly as a result of higher operating income.
Income from discontinued operations, net of income tax expense, increased $109 million from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2007 due primarily to an 89% increase in Lima Refinery’s throughput margin per barrel, from $12.69 per barrel in 2006 to $24.00 per barrel in 2007.

The following notes relate to references on pages 39 through 42.
(a)  
On May 2, 2007, we entered into an agreement to sell our Lima Refinery to Husky. Therefore, the results of operations of the Lima Refinery are reported as discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and all refining operating highlights, both consolidated and for the Mid-Continent region, exclude the Lima Refinery for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006. The sale of the Lima Refinery was consummated effective July 1, 2007.
 
(b)  
Certain amounts previously reported in 2006 for operating revenues, cost of sales, and retail selling expenses have been reclassified for comparability with amounts reported in 2007.
 
(c)  
On December 22, 2006, we sold our remaining ownership interest in NuStar GP Holdings, LLC (formerly Valero GP Holdings, LLC), which indirectly owns the general partner interest, the incentive distribution rights, and a 21.4% limited partner interest in NuStar Energy L.P. (formerly Valero L.P.). As a result, the financial highlights reflect no equity in earnings of NuStar Energy L.P. subsequent to December 21, 2006.

Table of Contents

General
Operating revenues decreased 6% for the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006 primarily as a result of lower sales volumes between the two periods. Operating income increased $829 million, or 21%, and income from continuing operations increased $503 million, or 19%, from the six months ended June 30, 2006 to the six months ended June 30, 2007 primarily due to a $792 million increase in refining segment operating income and a $42 million increase in retail segment operating income. The refining segment operating income and income from continuing operations exclude the operations of the Lima Refinery which was classified as discontinued operations due to our pending sale of that refinery as discussed in Note 3 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Refining
Operating income for our refining segment increased from $4.3 billion for the first six months of 2006 to $5.1 billion for the first six months of 2007, resulting mainly from a 17% increase in throughput margin per barrel, partially offset by a $245 million increase in refining operating expenses (including depreciation and amortization expense) and a 21,000 barrel-per-day decrease in throughput volumes.
Total refining throughput margins for the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006 were impacted by the following factors:
   
Gasoline and distillate margins improved in all of our refining regions in the first six months of 2007 compared to the margins in the first six months of 2006. The increase in refined product margins for the first six months of 2007 was primarily due to stronger demand combined with a decline in refined product inventory levels resulting from lower imports, more stringent product specifications and regulations, heavy industry turnaround activity, and unplanned refinery outages.
 
   
Sour crude oil feedstock differentials to WTI crude oil during the first six months of 2007 were lower than the differentials in the first six months of 2006. However, other light, sweet crude oils priced at a premium to WTI in the first six months of 2007; thus, sour crude oil feedstock differentials relative to those other light, sweet crude oils in the first six months of 2007 were comparable to the wide differentials experienced in the first six months of 2006. These wide differentials are attributable to continued ample supplies of sour crude oils and heavy sour residual fuel oils on the world market. Differentials on sour crude oil feedstocks also continued to benefit from increased demand for sweet crude oil resulting from lower sulfur specifications for gasoline and diesel and a global increase in refined product demand.
 
   
Margins on other refined products such as propylene, petroleum coke, and sulfur improved from the first six months of 2006 to the first six months of 2007 due to a decrease in the price of crude oil between the periods.
 
   
Throughput volumes declined by 21,000 barrels per day in the first six months of 2007 compared to the first six months of 2006 due mainly to a continuing reduction in throughput volumes at our McKee Refinery as a result of a fire originating in its propane deasphalting unit in February 2007.
Refining operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense, were 7% higher for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006 due primarily to increases in employee compensation and related benefits and maintenance expense. Refining depreciation and amortization expense increased 26% from the first six months of 2006 to the first six months of 2007 primarily due to the implementation of new capital projects, increased turnaround and catalyst amortization, and the write-off of costs related to the McKee Refinery as a result of the fire discussed above.

Table of Contents

Retail
Retail operating income of $109 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was approximately 63% higher than the $67 million reported for the six months ended June 30, 2006. This increase in operating income was mainly attributable to a $0.04 per gallon increase in average fuel margins in our U.S. retail operations.
Corporate Expenses and Other
General and administrative expenses, including corporate depreciation and amortization expense, were essentially unchanged from the first six months of 2006 to the first six months of 2007. Reductions in expense resulting from 2006 expenses attributable to Premcor headquarters personnel that were not incurred in the first six months of 2007 and lower stock-based compensation were offset by executive retirement expenses and the services agreement termination fee paid to NuStar Energy L.P. that were incurred in the first six months of 2007.
Equity in earnings of NuStar Energy L.P. is not reflected in the first six months of 2007 due to the sale of our remaining ownership interest in NuStar GP Holdings, LLC in December 2006.
Income tax expense increased $288 million from the first six months of 2006 to the first six months of 2007 mainly as a result of higher operating income.
Income from discontinued operations, net of income tax expense, increased $144 million from the first six months of 2006 to the first six months of 2007 due primarily to an 86% increase in Lima Refinery’s throughput margin per barrel, from $9.38 per barrel in 2006 to $17.41 per barrel in 2007.
OUTLOOK
Since the end of the 2007 second quarter, refined product margins have declined despite key refining industry fundamentals remaining favorable. U.S. light product inventories, on a days-of-supply basis, remain low and demand continues to be strong relative to prior years. Going forward, refined product markets are entering the seasonal transition period that historically occurs in late summer and early fall which is typically a volatile period for refined product margins. Regarding feedstocks, sour crude oil differentials relative to sweet crude oils have widened and are expected to remain favorable through the third quarter due to ample supplies of sour crude oil and continued strong demand for sweet crude oil.
On February 16, 2007, our McKee Refinery experienced a fire originating in its propane deasphalting unit. The refinery recommenced operations on April 12, 2007 at approximately 50% of capacity. Throughput rates at the McKee Refinery increased to approximately 150,000 barrels per day by the end of the second quarter of 2007 and are expected to reach full capacity by the end of 2007 or early 2008. In regard to other operations, we have minimal turnaround activity scheduled for the third quarter of 2007. We expect to benefit during the remainder of 2007 from capital improvement projects that have been completed, including the crude unit expansion project at our Port Arthur Refinery, the addition of mild hydrocracker units at our St. Charles and Houston Refineries, and the addition of a diesel hydrotreater unit at our Benicia Refinery.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Cash Flows for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2007 and 2006
Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2007 was $4.4 billion compared to $3.8 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase in cash generated from

44


Table of Contents

operating activities was due primarily to the increase in net income, including the effect of discontinued operations related to the Lima Refinery, discussed above under “Results of Operations,” partially offset by a $321 million decrease from an unfavorable change in working capital between the years. Changes in cash provided by or used for working capital during the first six months of 2007 and 2006 are shown in Note 9 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Cash flows related to the discontinued operations of the Lima Refinery have been combined with the cash flows from continuing operations within each category in the consolidated statement of cash flows for each period presented. Cash provided by operating activities related to our discontinued results of operations was $260 million and $113 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Cash used in investing activities related to the Lima Refinery was $14 million and $70 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The net cash generated from operating activities during the first six months of 2007, combined with $2.245 billion of proceeds from the issuance of long-term notes, a $215 million benefit from tax deductions in excess of recognized stock-based compensation cost, and $111 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock related to our employee benefit plans, were used mainly to:
   
fund $1.3 billion of capital expenditures and deferred turnaround and catalyst costs;
 
   
purchase 61.9 million shares of treasury stock at a cost of $4.2 billion;
 
   
make an early debt repurchase of $183 million and a scheduled debt repayment of $230 million;
 
   
fund capital contributions of $215 million to Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline Company to enable the joint venture to redeem all of its outstanding debt;
 
   
fund contingent earn-out payments in connection with the acquisition of the St. Charles Refinery and the Delaware City Refinery of $50 million and $25 million, respectively;
 
   
pay common stock dividends of $139 million; and
 
   
increase available cash on hand by $746 million.
The net cash generated from operating activities during the first six months of 2006, combined with a $130 million benefit from tax deductions in excess of recognized stock-based compensation cost, $65 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock related to our employee benefit plans, and $62 million of net borrowings (net of repayments) under our bank credit facilities were used mainly to:
   
fund $2.0 billion of capital expenditures and deferred turnaround and catalyst costs;
 
   
purchase 20.4 million shares of treasury stock at a cost of $1.2 billion;
 
   
make long-term note repayments of $221 million;
 
   
fund contingent earn-out payments in connection with the acquisition of Basis Petroleum, Inc. and the St. Charles Refinery of $26 million and $50 million, respectively;
 
   
terminate our interest rate swap contracts for $54 million;
 
   
pay common and preferred stock dividends of $87 million; and
 
   
increase available cash on hand by $501 million.
Capital Investments
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we expended $1.0 billion for capital expenditures and $230 million for deferred turnaround and catalyst costs. Capital expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2007 included $349 million of costs related to environmental projects.
In connection with our acquisition of the St. Charles Refinery in 2003, the seller is entitled to receive payments in any of the seven years following this acquisition if certain average refining margins during any of those years exceed a specified level. In connection with the Premcor Acquisition in 2005, we assumed Premcor’s obligation under a contingent earn-out agreement related to Premcor’s acquisition of the Delaware City Refinery from Motiva Enterprises LLC. Any payments due under these earn-out

45


Table of Contents

arrangements are limited based on annual and aggregate limits. In January 2007, we made an earn-out payment of $50 million related to the St. Charles Refinery. In June 2007, we made an earn-out payment of $25 million related to the acquisition of the Delaware City Refinery, which was the maximum remaining payment based on the aggregate limitation under the agreement.
For 2007, we expect to incur approximately $3.5 billion for capital investments, including approximately $3.0 billion for capital expenditures (approximately $730 million of which is for environmental projects) and approximately $460 million for deferred turnaround and catalyst costs. The capital expenditure estimate excludes expenditures related to the earn-out contingency agreements discussed above and strategic acquisitions. We continuously evaluate our capital budget and make changes as economic conditions warrant.
In May and June of 2007, we made cash capital contributions of $190 million and $25 million, respectively, to Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline Company, representing our 50% portion of the amount required for the Cameron Highway Oil Pipeline joint venture to redeem its fixed-rate notes and variable-rate debt, respectively. Our capital contributions, along with equal capital contributions from the other 50% joint venture partner, were used to redeem all of the joint venture’s outstanding debt.
Lima Refinery Disposition
Effective July 1, 2007, we consummated the sale of our Lima Refinery to Husky. Proceeds from the sale were $1.9 billion, plus $540 million representing a preliminary working capital settlement. The working capital settlement is expected to be finalized within 90 days after the effective date of the sale. In connection with the sale, we entered into a transition services agreement with Husky under which we agreed to provide certain accounting and administrative services to Husky beginning July 3, 2007, with the services terminating by July 31, 2008.
Contractual Obligations
As of June 30, 2007, our contractual obligations included long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating leases, purchase obligations, and other long-term liabilities. We had the following changes to our long-term debt during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
On February 1, 2007, we redeemed our 9.25% senior notes for $183 million, or 104.625% of stated value. In April 2007, we repaid in full at the scheduled maturity date $230 million related to our 6.125% notes.
In April 2007, we borrowed $3 billion under a 364-day term credit agreement with a financial institution to fund the accelerated share repurchase program discussed in Note 7 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2007, we repaid $500 million of the borrowings under the 364-day term credit agreement. The remaining balance of $2.5 billion was repaid in June 2007 using available cash and proceeds from the issuance of $2.25 billion of notes described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we had no material changes outside the ordinary course of our business in operating leases or purchase obligations. Other long-term liabilities increased during the first six months of 2007 due to the adoption of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007, as discussed in Note 11 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our agreements do not have rating agency triggers that would automatically require us to post additional collateral. However, in the event of certain downgrades of our senior unsecured debt to below investment grade ratings by Moody’s Investors Service and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, the cost of borrowings under some of our bank credit facilities and other arrangements would increase. As of June 30, 2007, all of our ratings on our senior unsecured debt are at or above “investment grade” level as follows:
     
Rating Agency
 
Rating
Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services
  BBB (stable outlook)
Moody’s Investors Service
  Baa3 (positive outlook)
Fitch Ratings

Other Commercial Commitments
As of June 30, 2007, our committed lines of credit included:
         
    Borrowing    
   
Capacity
 
Expiration
Revolving credit facility
  $2.5 billion   August 2011
Canadian revolving credit facility
  Cdn. $115 million   December 2010
As of June 30, 2007, we had $631 million of letters of credit outstanding under our uncommitted short-term bank credit facilities and $164 million of letters of credit outstanding under our committed revolving credit facility. Under our Canadian committed revolving credit facility, we had Cdn. $8 million of letters of credit outstanding as of June 30, 2007. These letters of credit expire during 2007, 2008, and 2009.
Stock Purchase Programs
During the first quarter of 2007, we had two stock purchase programs that had been previously approved by our board of directors, which authorized our purchase of treasury stock in open market transactions to satisfy employee benefit plan requirements as well as a $2 billion common stock purchase program. Stock purchases under the $2 billion program during the first quarter of 2007 were made from time to time at prevailing prices as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements, subject to market conditions and other factors. The programs do not have a scheduled expiration date.
On April 25, 2007, our board of directors approved an amendment to our $2 billion common stock purchase program to increase the authorized purchases under the program to $6 billion. In conjunction with the increase in our common stock purchase program, we entered into an agreement with a financial institution to purchase $3 billion of our shares under an accelerated share repurchase program, and in late April, 42.1 million shares were purchased under this agreement. The purchase of these shares was funded with a short-term bridge loan, which we subsequently replaced with longer-term financing as described in Note 6 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The cost of the shares purchased under the accelerated share repurchase program was to be adjusted, with the final purchase cost based on a discount to the average trading price of our common stock, weighted by the daily volume of shares traded, during the program period. Any adjustment to the cost could be paid in cash or stock, at our option.
The accelerated share repurchase program was completed on July 23, 2007, resulting in an additional $94.5 million payment by us for the shares purchased. At that time, we elected to pay this additional amount in cash. This cash payment will have a dilutive effect on our third quarter computation of earnings per common share – assuming dilution.

Table of Contents

During the first six months of 2007, we purchased 61.9 million shares of our common stock at a cost of $4.2 billion in connection with the administration of our employee benefit plans and the common stock purchase programs authorized by our board of directors, including shares purchased under the accelerated share repurchase program discussed above.
Tax Matters
We are subject to extensive tax liabilities, including federal, state, and foreign income taxes and transactional taxes such as excise, sales/use, payroll, franchise, withholding, and ad valorem taxes. New tax laws and regulations and changes in existing tax laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed that could result in increased expenditures for tax liabilities in the future. Certain of these liabilities are subject to periodic audits by the respective taxing authority. Subsequent changes to our tax liabilities as a result of these audits may subject us to interest and penalties.
Effective January 1, 2007, the Government of Aruba (GOA) enacted a turnover tax on revenues from the sale of goods produced and services rendered in Aruba. The turnover tax, which is 3% for on-island sales and services and 1% on export sales, is being assessed by the GOA on sales by our Aruba Refinery. However, due to a previous tax holiday that was granted to our Aruba Refinery by the GOA through December 31, 2010, we believe that sales by our Aruba Refinery should not be subject to this turnover tax. As a result, no amounts have been accrued with respect to this turnover tax. We have filed a request for arbitration with the Netherlands Arbitration Institute pursuant to which we will seek to enforce our rights under the tax holiday.
Other
Although we have only $1 million of minimum required contributions to our qualified pension plans during 2007 under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, we expect to contribute $36 million to our qualified pension plans during 2007.
We are subject to extensive federal, state, and local environmental laws and regulations, including those relating to the discharge of materials into the environment, waste management, pollution prevention measures, greenhouse gas emissions, and characteristics and composition of gasolines and distillates. Because environmental laws and regulations are becoming more complex and stringent and new environmental laws and regulations are continuously being enacted or proposed, the level of future expenditures required for environmental matters could increase in the future. In addition, any major upgrades in any of our refineries could require material additional expenditures to comply with environmental laws and regulations.
We believe that we have sufficient funds from operations and, to the extent necessary, from the public and private capital markets and bank markets, to fund our ongoing operating requirements. We expect that, to the extent necessary, we can raise additional funds from time to time through equity or debt financings. However, there can be no assurances regarding the availability of any future financings or whether such financings can be made available on terms that are acceptable to us.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Accounts Receivable Sales Facility
As of June 30, 2007, we had an accounts receivable sales facility with a group of third-party financial institutions to sell on a revolving basis up to $1 billion of eligible trade receivables, which matures in August 2008. As of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, the amount of eligible receivables sold to the third-party financial institutions was $1 billion.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.
As discussed in Note 2 of Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, certain new financial accounting pronouncements have been issued which either have already been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, or will become effective for our financial statements at various dates in the future.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
COMMODITY PRICE RISK
The following tables provide information about our derivative commodity instruments as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006 (dollars in millions, except for the weighted-average pay and receive prices as described below), including:
   
fair value hedges which are used to hedge our recognized refining inventories (which had a carrying amount of $4.3 billion and $3.7 billion as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively, and a fair value of $9.0 billion and $6.6 billion as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively) and unrecognized firm commitments (i.e., binding agreements to purchase inventories in the future);
 
   
cash flow hedges which are used to hedge our forecasted feedstock and product purchases, refined product sales, and natural gas purchases;
 
   
economic hedges (hedges not designated as fair value or cash flow hedges) which are used to:
  -  
manage price volatility in refinery feedstock and refined product inventories, and
 
  -  
manage price volatility in forecasted feedstock and product purchases, refined product sales, and natural gas purchases; and
   
derivative commodity instruments held or issued for trading purposes.
The gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated and qualifying as a fair value hedge and the offsetting loss or gain on the hedged item are recognized currently in income in the same period. The effective portion of the gain or loss on a derivative instrument designated and qualifying as a cash flow hedge is initially reported as a component of “other comprehensive income” and is then recorded in income in the period or periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects income. The ineffective portion of the gain or loss on the cash flow derivative instrument, if any, is recognized in income as incurred. For our economic hedges and for derivative instruments entered into by us for trading purposes, the derivative instrument is recorded at fair value and changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized currently in income.
The following tables include only open positions at the end of the reporting period, and therefore do not include amounts related to closed cash flow hedges for which the gain or loss remains in “accumulated other comprehensive income” pending consummation of the forecasted transactions.
Contract volumes are presented in thousands of barrels (for crude oil and refined products) or in billions of British thermal units (for natural gas). The weighted-average pay and receive prices represent amounts per barrel (for crude oil and refined products) or amounts per million British thermal units (for natural gas). Volumes shown for swaps represent notional volumes, which are used to calculate amounts due under the agreements. For futures, the contract value represents the contract price of either the long or short position multiplied by the derivative contract volume, while the market value amount represents the period-end market price of the commodity being hedged multiplied by the derivative contract volume. The pre-tax fair value for futures, swaps, and options represents the fair value of the derivative contract. The pre-tax fair value for swaps represents the excess of the receive price over the pay price multiplied by the notional contract volumes. For futures and options, the pre-tax fair value represents (i) the excess of the market value amount over the contract amount for long positions, or (ii) the excess of the contract amount over the market value amount for short positions. Additionally, for futures and options, the weighted-average pay price represents the contract price for long positions and the weighted-average receive price represents the contract price for short positions. The weighted-average pay price and weighted-average receive price for options represents their strike price.

INTEREST RATE RISK
The following table provides information about our long-term debt instruments (dollars in millions), all of which are sensitive to changes in interest rates. Principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates are presented. We had no interest rate derivative instruments outstanding as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Brokers holding shares for the beneficial owners of such shares must vote according to specific instructions received from the beneficial owners. If specific instructions are not received, a broker generally may vote the shares in the broker’s discretion in certain instances. However, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) precludes brokers from exercising voting discretion on certain proposals without specific instructions from the beneficial owner. This results in a “broker non-vote” on the proposal. A broker non-vote is treated as “present” for purposes of determining a quorum, has the effect of a negative vote when approval for a particular proposal requires a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of the company, and has no effect when approval for a proposal requires a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote or a plurality of the votes cast. Per the NYSE’s rules, brokers did not have discretion to vote on the shareholder proposals

presented as Proposals 3, 4, and 5 at the Annual Meeting, but did have discretion to vote on Proposals 1 and 2. Shares voted to “abstain” are treated as “present” for purposes of determining a quorum, and have the effect of a negative vote when approval for a proposal requires a majority of the voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of the company or a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote.
For Proposal 1, directors were to be elected by a plurality of votes cast by the holders of shares of Valero’s common stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. Proposals 2, 3, 4, and 5 required approval by the affirmative vote of a majority of the voting power of the shares present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote. Only Proposals 1, 2, and 3 received the required votes for approval.
