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 refined
products terminaling and transportation facilities. We conduct our operations in the United States primarily along the Gulf Coast, in the Southeast, 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. As a result of Morgan Stanley's acquisition of TransMontaigne Inc., Morgan Stanley became the indirect owner of our general partner. At
March 31, 2009, TransMontaigne Inc. and Morgan Stanley have a significant interest in our partnership through their indirect ownership of a 25.8% limited partner interest, a 2% general
partner interest and the incentive distribution rights.

(b)   Basis of presentation and use of estimates

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.

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 revenue 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, accrued environmental
obligations and goodwill. 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 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. On December 29, 2006, we acquired from TransMontaigne Inc. the Brownsville, Texas terminal, 12 terminals
along the Mississippi and Ohio rivers ("River terminals"), and the Baton Rouge,

Notes to consolidated financial statements (Continued)

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

Louisiana
dock facility in exchange for a cash payment of approximately $135.0 million. On December 31, 2007, we acquired from TransMontaigne Inc. twenty-two terminals
along the Colonial and Plantation pipelines ("Southeast terminals") in exchange for a cash payment of approximately $118.6 million. 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 they were purchased by TransMontaigne Inc. for acquisitions made by us prior to September 1, 2006, and since September 1, 2006 (the date of Morgan
Stanley Capital Group's acquisition of TransMontaigne Inc.) for acquisitions made by us on or after September 1, 2006.

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 $2.5 million and $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, 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 approximately $0.7 million and $0.7 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, 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. The accompanying consolidated financial statements also include reimbursement of bonus awards paid to
TransMontaigne Services Inc. towards bonus awards granted by TransMontaigne Services Inc. to certain key officers and employees that vest over future periods. The reimbursement of bonus
awards was approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

(c)   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 revenue in our terminal
and pipeline operations from terminaling services fees, transportation fees, management fees and cost reimbursements, fees from other ancillary services and gains from the sale of refined products.
Terminaling services revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the agreement for storage fees and minimum revenue commitments and when product is delivered to the customer for fees based on a
rate per barrel throughput; 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; ancillary service revenue is recognized as the services are performed; and gains from the sale of refined products are
recognized when the title to the product is transferred.

(d)   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.

TransMontaigne Partners L.P. and subsidiaries

Notes to consolidated financial statements (Continued)

(1) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Continued)

(e)   Property, plant and equipment

Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. Estimated useful lives are 15 to 25 years for plant, which includes buildings, storage
tanks, and pipelines, and 3 to 25 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.

(f)    Environmental obligations

We accrue for environmental costs that relate to existing conditions caused by past operations when estimable (see Note 8 to Notes to consolidated
financial statements). 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 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 (see Note 4 to Notes to
consolidated financial statements). We recognize our insurance recoveries as a credit to income in the period that we assess the likelihood of recovery as being probable (i.e., likely to
occur).

TransMontaigne Inc.
has indemnified us through May 27, 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 $15.0 million for this indemnification obligation (see Note 2 of Notes
to consolidated financial statements). TransMontaigne Inc. has indemnified us through December 31, 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 31, 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 $15.0 million for this
indemnification obligation (see Note 2 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). TransMontaigne Inc. has indemnified us through December 31, 2012 against certain

potential
environmental claims, losses and expenses associated with the operation of the Southeast terminals and occurring before December 31, 2007, up to a maximum liability not to exceed
$15.0 million for this indemnification obligation (see Note 2 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).

(g)   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 underground pipelines. 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.

(h)   Equity-based compensation plan

We account for our equity-based compensation awards pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (R), "Share-Based
Payment." This Statement requires us to measure the cost of board member 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 a board member 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. Compensation cost is recognized over the service period on a straight-line
basis.

(i)    Foreign currency translation and transactions

The functional currency of Partners and its U.S.-based subsidiaries is the U.S. Dollar. The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries, including Penn Octane
de Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., Termatsal, S. de R.L. de C.V., and Tergas, S. de R.L. de C.V., is the Mexican Peso. The assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries are translated at
period-end rates of exchange, and revenue and expenses are translated at average exchange rates prevailing for the period. The resulting translation adjustments, net of related income
taxes, are recorded as a component of other comprehensive income in partners' equity. Gains and losses from the remeasurement of foreign currency transactions (transactions denominated in a currency
other than the entity's functional currency) are included in the consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense).

(j)    Accounting for Derivative Instruments

We account for our derivative instruments pursuant to the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities." This Statement requires us to recognize all derivative instruments at fair value in the consolidated balance sheet as assets or liabilities (see Note 8 of
Notes to consolidated financial statements). Changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments are recognized in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.

At
March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, our derivative instruments were limited to interest rate swaps. The change in the fair value of our interest rate swaps is included
in the consolidated statements of operations in other income (expense). The fair value of our interest rate swaps is determined using a pricing model based on the LIBOR swap rate and other observable
market data. The fair value was determined after considering the potential impact of collateralization, adjusted to reflect
nonperformance risk of both Wachovia Bank N.A., the counterparty, and us. Our fair value measurement of our interest rate swaps utilizes Level 2 inputs.

(k)   Income taxes

No provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements because Partners is treated as a partnership
for federal income taxes. As a partnership, all income, gains, losses, expenses, deductions and tax credits generated by Partners flow through to the unitholders of the partnership.

Partners
is a taxable entity under certain U.S. state jurisdictions. We are subject to income taxes in the state of Texas. Certain of our Mexican subsidiaries are corporations for
Mexican tax purposes and, therefore, are subject to Mexican federal and provincial income taxes.

accounts for U.S. state income taxes and Mexican federal and provincial income taxes under the asset and liability method pursuant to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards

(l)    Net earnings per limited partner unit

Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Issue 07-4, "Two-Class EPS Method for Master Limited Partnerships," addresses the computation of
earnings per limited partnership unit for master-limited-partnerships that consist of publicly traded common units held by limited partners, a general partner interest, and incentive distribution
rights that are accounted for as equity interests. Partners' incentive distribution rights are owned by our general partner. Distributions are declared from available cash (as defined by our
partnership agreement) and the incentive distribution rights are not entitled to distributions other than from available cash. The consensus states that any excess of distributions over earnings shall
be allocated to the limited partners and general partner interest based on their respective sharing of losses specified in the partnership agreement. Partners has allocated the excess of distributions
over earnings to the limited partners and general partner interest based on their ownership percentages of 98% and 2%, respectively. Incentive distribution rights do not share in losses under our
partnership agreement. The earnings allocable to the general partner interest, including the incentive distribution rights, for the period represents distributions declared after period end on behalf

of
the general partner interest and incentive distribution rights less the allocated excess of distributions over earnings for the period (see Note 14 of Notes to consolidated financial
statements). Partners adopted the consensus reached on EITF Issue 07-4 effective January 1, 2009, and applied it retrospectively to all periods presented.

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.

(m)  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 December 2014, 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. Effective January 1, 2009, the annual
administrative fee payable to TransMontaigne Inc. is approximately $10.0 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.
Effective January 1, 2009, the annual insurance reimbursement payable to TransMontaigne Inc. is approximately $2.9 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 pipelines and
the cost of their employee benefits, including 401(k) and health insurance benefits.

We
also agreed to reimburse TransMontaigne Inc. and its affiliates for incentive payment grants to key employees of TransMontaigne Inc. and its affiliates under the
TransMontaigne Services Inc. savings and retention plan, provided the compensation committee of our general partner determines that an adequate portion of the incentive payment grants are

Terminaling Services AgreementFlorida Terminals and Razorback Pipeline System.Through May 31, 2007, we had a terminaling
and
transportation services agreement with TransMontaigne Inc. that was scheduled to expire on December 31, 2013. Under this agreement, TransMontaigne Inc. agreed to transport on the
Razorback pipeline and throughput at our Florida, Mt. Vernon, Missouri and Rogers, Arkansas terminals a volume of refined products that would, at the fee and tariff schedule contained in the
agreement, result in minimum revenue to us of approximately $20 million per year through December 31, 2013. 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.

Effective
June 1, 2007, we entered into a terminaling services agreement with Morgan Stanley Capital Group that replaced our terminaling services agreement with
TransMontaigne Inc. relating to our Florida, Mt. Vernon, Missouri and Rogers, Arkansas terminals. Effective June 1, 2008, we amended the terminaling services agreement to include
renewable fuels blending functionality at the Florida Terminals. The initial term expires on May 31, 2014 for the Florida terminals and on May 31, 2012 for the Razorback pipeline system.
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
prior to the end of the initial term or the then current renewal term. Under this agreement, Morgan Stanley Capital Group agreed to throughput a volume of refined product that will, at the fee
schedule contained in the agreement, result in minimum throughput payments to us of approximately $33.2 million for the contract year ending May 31, 2009 (approximately
$36.3 million for the contract year ending May 31, 2010); with stipulated annual increases in throughput payments each contract year thereafter. Morgan Stanley Capital Group's minimum
annual throughput payment is reduced proportionately for any decrease in storage capacity due to out-of-service tank capacity. Morgan Stanley Capital Group's minimum annual
throughput payment is also subject to adjustment in the event that we should fail to complete construction of and place in service certain capital projects on or before September 30, 2009.

In
the event of a force majeure event that renders performance impossible with respect to an asset for at least 30 consecutive days, Morgan Stanley Capital Group'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 Morgan
Stanley Capital
Group, Morgan Stanley Capital Group's minimum revenue commitment would be reduced proportionately for the duration of the force majeure event.

Morgan
Stanley Capital Group may assign the terminaling services agreement only with the consent of the conflicts committee of our general partner. Upon termination of the agreement,
Morgan Stanley Capital Group has a right of first refusal to enter into a new terminaling services agreement with us, provided they pay no less than 105% of the fees offered by any third party.

(3) CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK AND TRADE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE

Our primary market areas are located along the Gulf Coast, in the Southeast, 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.

Amounts due from insurance companies.We periodically file claims for recovery of environmental remediation costs with our insurance
carriers under
our comprehensive liability policies. We recognize our insurance recoveries in the period that we assess the likelihood of recovery as being probable (i.e., likely to occur). At
March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we have recognized amounts due from insurance companies of approximately $5.6 million and $6.3 million, respectively, representing our
best estimate of our probable insurance recoveries. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we received reimbursements from insurance companies of approximately $1.2 million.
During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we increased our estimate of probable insurance recoveries approximately $0.6 million due principally to increases in our estimate of
remediation obligations (see Note 8 of Notes to consolidated financial statements).

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. 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.

(6) GOODWILL (Continued)

The adjusted purchase price for the acquisition of the Mexican LPG operations from Rio Vista Energy Partners L.P. was allocated to the identifiable assets and liabilities
acquired based upon the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities as of the acquisition date. Goodwill of approximately $1.5 million represents the excess of our adjusted purchase
price over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired attributable to the Mexican LPG operations.

Goodwill
is required to be tested for impairment annually unless events or changes in circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that an impairment loss has been incurred at an
interim date. Our annual test for the impairment of goodwill is performed as of December 31. The impairment test is performed at the reporting unit level. Our reporting units are our operating
segments (see Note 15 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). If the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, goodwill of the reporting unit is not considered to be
impaired. Management exercises judgment in determining the estimated fair values of the Partnership's reporting units.

At
December 31, 2008, the fair value of our Brownsville reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount and the fair value of our River reporting unit exceeded its carrying amount.
Therefore, we did not recognize any impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2008. However, given the current contraction in the financial and credit markets and the related
volatility in the price of our common units, we will continue to monitor the recoverability of goodwill. A further decline in the price of our common units with a resulting increase in our weighted
average cost of capital, the loss of a significant customer, or an unforeseen increase in the costs to operate and maintain our terminals and pipelines, may result in the recognition of an impairment
charge in the future.

(8) ACCRUED LIABILITIES (Continued)

of
our future environmental remediation costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we made payments of approximately $1.2 million 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.

Due to Rio Vista.Effective December 31, 2007, we acquired from Rio Vista certain Mexican LPG operations for a cash payment
of
approximately $9.0 million. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we have a liability of approximately $nil and $0.1 million, respectively, to Rio Vista provided that
Rio Vista is not obligated to indemnify us for any claims, expenses or liabilities pursuant to the agreement covering our acquisition of the Mexican LPG operations.

Obligations to repair, maintain or expand Southeast terminals.As a condition to our acquisition of the Southeast terminals, we agreed
to assume all
responsibilities, duties and obligations to complete the construction of and place into service certain projects to repair, maintain or expand the Southeast terminals that had been commenced by
TransMontaigne Inc. but were not completed as of the date of closing. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we have recognized a liability of approximately $0.1 million
and $0.2 million, respectively, as our estimate of the remaining costs to complete and place into service certain projects to repair, maintain or expand the Southeast terminals.

Rebate due to Morgan Stanley Capital Group.Pursuant to our terminaling services agreement related to the Southeast terminals, we agreed
to rebate to
Morgan Stanley Capital Group 50% of the proceeds we receive annually in excess of $4.2 million from the sale of product gains at our Southeast terminals. At March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, we have accrued a liability due to Morgan Stanley Capital Group of approximately $23,000 and $2.2 million, respectively. During the three months ended
March 31, 2009, we paid Morgan Stanley Capital Group approximately $2.2 million for the rebate due to Morgan Stanley Capital Group for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Unrealized loss on derivative instruments.Our derivative instruments are limited to interest rate swaps. We manage a portion of our
interest rate
risk with interest rate swaps, which reduce our exposure to changes in interest rates by converting variable interest rates to fixed interest rates. At March 31, 2009, we have interest rate
swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $150.0 million that expire May 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, we pay a weighted-average fixed rate of
approximately 2.1% and receive an interest payment based on the one-month LIBOR. The net difference to be paid or received under the interest rate swap agreements is settled monthly and is
recognized as an adjustment to interest expense. For the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recognized net payments to the counterparty in the amount of approximately $0.5 million as
an adjustment to interest expense. Our obligations under the interest rate swap agreements are secured by a first priority security interest in our assets, including cash, accounts receivable,
inventory, general intangibles, investment property, contract rights and real property (see Note 10 of Notes to consolidated financial statements). At March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, the fair value of the interest rate swaps was approximately $2.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

Deferred revenue-ethanol blending fees and other reimbursable projects.Pursuant to agreements with Morgan Stanley Capital Group, we
agreed to
undertake certain capital projects to provide renewable fuels blending functionality at certain of our Southeast terminals and other reimbursable projects. Upon completion of the projects, Morgan
Stanley Capital Group has agreed to pay us amounts that will be recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the agreements. At March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, we have unamortized deferred revenue of approximately $9.1 million and $3.6 million, respectively, for completed projects. During the three months ended
March 31, 2009, we billed Morgan Stanley Capital Group approximately $5.8 million for completed projects. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we recognized revenue on a
straight-line basis of approximately $0.3 million for completed projects.

Advance payments received under long-term terminaling services agreements-Morgan Stanley Capital Group.We have long-term
terminaling services agreements with Morgan Stanley Capital Group that provide for minimum payments that decrease over the terms of the respective agreements. We recognize as revenue the minimum
payments under the long-term terminaling services agreements on a straight-line basis over the term of the respective agreements. At March 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, we have received minimum payments that are due through those respective dates in excess of revenue recognized under these long-term terminaling services
agreements resulting in a liability of approximately $1.3 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

(10) LONG-TERM DEBT

Senior Secured Credit Facility.At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, our outstanding borrowings under the senior secured
credit
facility were approximately $173.0 million and $165.5 million, respectively. At March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, our outstanding letters of credit were approximately
$21,000 and $42,000, respectively.

The
senior secured credit facility provides for a maximum borrowing line of credit equal to the lesser of (i) $200 million and (ii) four times Consolidated EBITDA
(as defined: $232.9 million at March 31, 2009). In addition, at our request, the revolving loan commitment can be increased up to an additional $100 million, in the aggregate,
without the approval of the lenders, but subject to the approval of the administrative agent and the receipt of additional commitments from one or more lenders. 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 1.5% to 2.5% 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 0.3% to 0.5% 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,
2009 and 2008, the weighted average interest rate on borrowings under our senior secured credit facility was approximately 3.7% and 5.3%, respectively. 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 4.5 times), (ii) a senior secured leverage ratio test (not to
exceed 4.0 times), and (iii) a minimum interest coverage ratio test (not less than 2.75 times).

Services Inc.'s long-term incentive plan.

During
the subordination period (as defined in the partnership agreement), common units are entitled to receive distributions from available cash of $0.40 per unit per quarter (which we
refer to as the minimum quarterly distribution), or $1.60 per unit per year, plus any arrearages in the payment of the minimum quarterly distribution from prior quarters, before any such distributions
are paid on our subordinated units. The subordination period will end when we have generated and distributed available cash in excess of the minimum quarterly distribution for each of the three
consecutive, non-overlapping four-quarter periods immediately preceding the test date and there are not arrearages in payment of the minimum quarterly distribution on the
common units. With respect to 25% of the outstanding subordinated units, the first test date is any quarter ending on or after June 30, 2008. On November 13, 2008, approximately
0.8 million subordinated units converted into an equal number of common units. The second test date is any quarter ending on or after March 31, 2009. On May 7, 2009, approximately
0.8 million subordinated units converted into an equal number of common units.

TransMontaigne Inc. TransMontaigne Services Inc. is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of TransMontaigne Inc. TransMontaigne Services Inc. employs the personnel who
provide support to TransMontaigne Inc.'s operations, as well as our operations. 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 989,572 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, 2009, 805,632 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. 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. The long-term incentive plan is administered by the compensation committee of the board of directors of our general partner. On May 7, 2007, we announced
a program for the repurchase of outstanding common units for purposes of making subsequent grants of restricted phantom units to non-officer directors of our general partner.
TransMontaigne GP, on behalf of the long-term incentive plan, anticipates repurchasing annually up to 10,000 common units for this purpose. As of March 31, 2009,
TransMontaigne GP, on behalf of the long-term incentive plan, has repurchased approximately 7,120 common units pursuant to the program.

respectively, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, the restricted phantom units were excluded
because the unamortized deferred compensation exceeded the average quoted market price of our common units.

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

REGULATORY MATTERS

On September 21, 2008, Morgan Stanley obtained the approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "FRB")
to become a bank holding company upon the conversion of its wholly owned indirect subsidiary, Morgan Stanley Bank, from a Utah industrial bank to a national bank. On September 23, 2008, the
Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the "OCC") authorized Morgan Stanley Bank to commence business as a national bank, operating as Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. Concurrently with this conversion,
Morgan Stanley became a financial holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act, as amended (the "BHC Act"). As a
result, Morgan Stanley has become subject to the consolidated supervision and regulation of the FRB and Morgan Stanley Bank, N.A. has become subject to the supervision and regulation of the OCC.

As
a financial holding company, Morgan Stanley will be able to engage in any activity that is financial in nature, incidental to a financial activity, or complementary to a financial
activity. The BHC Act, by its terms, provides any company, such as Morgan Stanley, that becomes a financial holding company a two-year grace period to conform its existing nonfinancial
activities and investments to the requirements of the BHC Act with the possibility of three one-year extensions. The BHC Act grandfathers "activities related to the trading, sale or
investment in commodities and underlying physical properties" provided that Morgan Stanley conducted any of such type of activities as of September 30, 1997 and provided that certain other
conditions are satisfied, which conditions are reasonably within the control of Morgan Stanley. In addition, the BHC Act permits the FRB to determine by regulation or order that certain activities are
complementary to a financial activity and do not pose a risk to safety and soundness. The FRB has previously determined that a range of commodities activities are either financial in nature,
incidental to a financial activity, or complementary to a financial activity.

Morgan
Stanley has advised us that it has conducted an internal review and has concluded that, based upon its review, all of our activities and investments are permissible under the BHC
Act.

The
FRB has not yet completed its review of these activities and investments. The FRB could conclude that certain of our activities or investments will not be deemed permissible under
the BHC Act. If so, Morgan Stanley (i) may cause us to discontinue any such activity or divest any such investment or (ii) may transfer control of our general partner to an unaffiliated
third party, prior to the end of the referenced grace period. We are unable to predict whether, if either of these actions is required, it would have a material adverse impact on our financial
condition or results of operations.

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, 2008, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 9, 2009
(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, accrued environmental obligations and goodwill. 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, 2009

On January 16, 2009, we announced a distribution of $0.59 per unit for the period from October 1, 2008 through
December 31, 2008, payable on February 10, 2009 to unitholders of record on January 30, 2009.

On
February 5, 2009, we executed an additional interest rate swap agreement with Wachovia Bank, N.A. This interest rate swap agreement has a notional amount of
$25.0 million that expires May 2010. Pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, we pay a fixed rate of 1.145% and receive an interest payment based on the one-month
LIBOR.

At
the February 26, 2009 meeting of the board of directors of our general partner, Javed Ahmed notified the board of directors of his intention to resign from the boards of
directors of our general partner and TransMontaigne Inc., each to be effective March 31, 2009. The resignations follow Mr. Ahmed's decision on February 9, 2009 to resign as
a Managing Director of Morgan Stanley effective May 10, 2009. To fill the vacancy resulting from Mr. Ahmed's resignation, on March 3, 2009 we announced the appointment of Randall
P. O'Connor to serve as a member of the board of directors of our general partner, effective March 31, 2009. Mr. O'Connor is a Managing Director at Morgan Stanley, working in the firm's
Commodities Group and currently serves as head of the Strategic Transactions Group.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 17, 2009, we announced a distribution of $0.59 per unit for the period from January 1, 2009 through
March 31, 2009, payable on May 5, 2009 to unitholders of record on April 30, 2009.

On
May 7, 2009, approximately 0.8 million subordinated units converted into an equal number of common units. If we earn and pay at least $1.60 on each outstanding unit and
general partner unit for
each of the three consecutive non-overlapping four-quarter periods ending September 30, 2009, approximately 0.8 million subordinated units will convert into
common units with respect to the quarter ending September 30, 2009; and, if we earn and pay at least $2.24 on each outstanding unit and general partner unit for each of the two consecutive
non-overlapping four-quarter periods ending September 30, 2009, the remaining approximately 0.8 million subordinated units will convert into common units with

Terminaling Services Fees, Net.Pursuant to terminaling services agreements with our customers, which range from one month to
ten years in duration,
we generate fees by distributing and storing products for our customers. Terminaling services fees, net include throughput fees based on the volume of product distributed from the facility, injection
fees based on the volume of product injected with additive compounds and storage fees based on a rate per barrel of storage capacity per month. The terminaling services fees, net by business segments

$16.5 million and $15.6 million, respectively, and TransMontaigne Inc. of approximately $1.7 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Our
terminaling services agreements are structured as either throughput agreements or storage agreements. Certain throughput agreements contain provisions that require our customers to
throughput a minimum volume of product at our facilities over a stipulated period of time, which results in a fixed amount of revenue to be recognized by us. Our storage agreements require our
customers to make minimum payments based on the volume of storage capacity available to the customer under the agreement, which results in a fixed amount of revenue to be recognized by us. We refer to
the fixed amount of revenue recognized pursuant to our terminaling services agreements as being "firm commitments." Revenue recognized in excess of firm commitments and revenue recognized based solely
on the volume of product distributed or injected are referred to as "variable." The "firm

Other Revenue.We provide ancillary services including heating and mixing of stored products, product transfer services, railcar
handling, wharfage
fees and vapor recovery fees. Pursuant to terminaling services agreements with our throughput customers, we are entitled to the volume of product gained resulting from differences in the measurement
of product volumes received and distributed at our terminaling facilities. Consistent with recognized industry practices, measurement differentials occur as the result of the inherent variances in
measurement devices and methodology. We recognize as revenue the net proceeds from the sale of the product gained. Other revenue is composed of the following (in thousands):

three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

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 $0.7 million and

the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

For
the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, depreciation and amortization expense was approximately $6.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary liquidity needs are to fund our working capital requirements, distributions to unitholders and capital expenditures.
Pending an improvement to the current conditions in the public debt and equity markets, our principal sources of funds to meet our liquidity needs currently will be limited to cash generated by
operations and borrowings under our senior secured credit facility. We believe that we will be able to generate sufficient cash from operations in the future to meet our liquidity needs to fund our
working capital requirements and to fund our distributions to unitholders. We expect to fund our capital expenditures with additional borrowings under our senior secured credit facility.

Excluding
acquisitions, our capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2009 were approximately $15.2 million for terminal and pipeline facilities and assets
to support these facilities. Management and the board of directors of our general partner previously approved capital projects that currently are under construction with estimated completion dates
that extend through

Table of Contents

December 31,
2009. At March 31, 2009, the remaining capital expenditures to complete the approved capital projects are estimated to range from $30 million to $40 million.
We expect to fund our capital expenditures with additional borrowings under our senior secured credit facility. The budgeted capital projects include the following:

2H 2009Improve truck rack capacity and functionality





2H 2009Southeast

2H 2009


Pursuant
to existing terminaling services agreements with Morgan Stanley Capital Group, we expect to receive payments through March 31, 2010 from Morgan Stanley Capital Group in
the range of $15 million to $20 million, which are due and payable upon completion of certain of the capital projects referred to above.

At
March 31, 2009, our senior secured credit facility provides for a maximum borrowing line of credit equal to $200 million. At March 31, 2009, our outstanding
borrowings were approximately $173 million, resulting in available capacity of approximately $27 million. Upon payment of the remaining capital expenditures to complete the approved
capital projects and receipt of payments from Morgan Stanley Capital Group upon completion of certain of the capital projects, we currently expect to have approximately $10 million in available
capacity under our senior secured credit facility. In addition, at our request, the revolving loan commitment can be increased up to an additional $100 million, in the aggregate, without the
approval of the lenders, but subject to the approval of the administrative agent and the receipt of additional commitments from one or more lenders. The terms of the senior secured credit facility
also permit us to borrow up to approximately $25 million from other lenders, including our general partner and its affiliates. 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.At March 31, 2009, the senior secured credit facility provides for a maximum borrowing line of
credit equal to
the lesser of (i) $200 million and (ii) four times Consolidated EBITDA (as defined: $232.9 million at March 31, 2009). 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 1.5% to 2.5% 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 0.3% to 0.5% 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.

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 4.5 times), (ii) a senior secured leverage ratio test (not to
exceed 4.0 times), and (iii) a minimum interest coverage ratio test (not less than 2.75 times). These financial covenants are based on a defined financial performance measure within the senior
secured credit facility known as "Consolidated EBITDA." The calculation of the "total leverage ratio," "senior secured leverage ratio" and "interest coverage ratio" contained in the senior secured
credit facility is as follows (in thousands, except ratios):

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.

Table of Contents

We
believe that our future cash expected to be provided by operating activities, available borrowing capacity under our 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 this Item 3 updates, and should be read in conjunction with, information set forth in
Part II, Item 7A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008, 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 Part 1, 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, 2008.

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. At March 31,
2009, we had outstanding borrowings of approximately $173.0 million under our senior secured credit facility.

We
manage a portion of our interest rate risk with interest rate swaps, which reduce our exposure to changes in interest rates by converting variable interest rates to fixed interest
rates. At March 31, 2009, we are party to interest rate swap agreements with Wachovia Bank, N.A with an aggregate notional amount of $150.0 million that expire May 2010. Pursuant to the
terms of the interest rate swap agreements, we pay a weighted-average fixed rate of approximately 2.1% and receive an interest
payment based on the one-month LIBOR. The net difference to be paid or received under the interest rate swap agreements is settled monthly and is recognized as an adjustment to interest
expense.

Based
on the outstanding balance of our variable-interest-rate debt at March 31, 2009, the terms of our interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount
of $150.0 million and assuming market interest rates increase or decrease by 100 basis points, the potential annual increase or decrease in interest expense is approximately
$0.2 million.

We
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 arising from certain of our terminaling services agreements with our customers. Pursuant to our terminaling services agreement related to the Southeast terminals, we agreed to rebate to Morgan
Stanley Capital Group 50% of the proceeds we receive annually in excess of $4.2 million from the sale of product gains at our Southeast terminals. 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 our
customers, we sell the product to Morgan Stanley Capital Group and other marketing and distribution companies on a monthly basis; the sales price is based on industry indices.

For
the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we sold approximately 35,000 and 43,000 barrels, respectively, of product gained resulting from differences in the measurement
of product volumes received and distributed at our terminaling facilities at average prices of $53 and $89 per barrel, respectively.

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

40

Table of Contents

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 the management of our general partner, including our general partner's principal executive and principal financial officer (whom we refer to as the
Certifying Officers), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The management of our general partner evaluated, with the participation of the Certifying Officers, the
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2009, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based upon that evaluation, the Certifying
Officers concluded that, as of March 31, 2009, 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.

making subsequent grants of restricted phantom units under the TransMontaigne Services Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan to non-officer directors of our general partner.
Pursuant to the terms of the repurchase program, we anticipate repurchasing annually up to 10,000 common units. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we repurchased 1,260 common units
with approximately $20,000 of aggregate market value for this purpose. There is no guarantee as to the exact number of common units that will be repurchased under the repurchase program, and the
repurchase program may be discontinued at any time. Unless we choose to terminate the repurchase program earlier, the repurchase program terminates on the earlier to occur of May 31, 2012; our
liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy or insolvency; the public announcement of a tender or exchange offer for the common units; or a merger, acquisition, recapitalization, business combination or
other occurrence of a "Change of Control" under the TransMontaigne Services Inc. Long-Term Incentive Plan.
