                   SANTA FE PACIFIC PIPELINE PARTNERS, L.P.

                  NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(a) The accompanying consolidated financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Santa Fe Pacific Pipeline
Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership") for the year ended December 31, 1995. In the
opinion of Partnership management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been
included in these consolidated financial statements. Unless otherwise noted, all
such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The results of operations for
any interim period are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
to be expected for the entire year.

(b) Income per unit is computed based upon consolidated net income of the
Partnership less an allocation of income to the General Partner in accordance
with the partnership agreement, and is based upon the 19,148,148 units
outstanding. The quarterly allocation of income to the General Partner, which
was 3.23% of net income before minority interest in 1996 and 1995, respectively,
is based on its percentage of cash distributions from available cash at the end
of each quarter.

(c) On October 10, 1996, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.75
per unit for the third quarter of 1996, to be paid on November 14, 1996 to
unitholders of record on October 31, 1996.

(d) As discussed in Note 4 to the Partnership's consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1995, certain of the Partnership's
shippers have filed civil suits and initiated Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission ("FERC") complaint proceedings alleging, among other things, that the
shippers were damaged by the Partnership's failure to fulfill alleged promises
to expand the East Line's capacity between El Paso, Texas and Phoenix, Arizona
to meet shipper demand. The FERC proceedings involve claims, among other things,
that certain of the Partnership's rates and charges on its East and West Lines
are excessive. To date, the complainants have filed testimony seeking
reparations for shipments between 1990 and 1994 aggregating approximately $35
million, as well as rate reductions of between 30% and 40% for shipments in 1995
and thereafter. The remaining civil action, brought by El Paso Refinery, L.P.
("El Paso") and its general partner, claims unspecified actual damages, which
appear to include the $190 million cost of a refinery expansion completed in
1992, plus punitive and consequential damages.

With respect to the FERC proceedings, the Partnership has recently achieved
settlements with El Paso regarding its challenge of the Partnership's East Line
rates and with Navajo Refining Company ("Navajo") regarding its challenge of
West Line rates. During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership
also presented settlement offers to all of the remaining complainants in the
FERC proceedings, including Navajo with respect to its East Line complaint.
During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership recorded an $8.0
million provision for litigation costs to increase its existing reserves to
reflect the total amount that would be payable under the settlement offers that
had been extended as of that date, including those offers that have been
accepted by El Paso and Navajo. The Partnership's accompanying balance sheet
also includes reserves for costs related to the resolution of the El Paso civil
action.

                                      -4-

While the Partnership believes it has meritorious defenses in these matters, the
complainants and plaintiffs are seeking amounts that, in the aggregate,
substantially exceed the Partnership's reserves and, because of the
uncertainties associated with litigation and FERC rate-making methodology,
management cannot predict with certainty the ultimate outcome of these matters.
As additional information becomes available, it may be necessary for the
Partnership to record additional charges to earnings to maintain its reserves at
a level deemed adequate at that time, and the costs associated with the ultimate
resolution of these matters could have a material adverse effect on the
Partnership's results of operations, financial condition, or ability to maintain
its quarterly cash distribution at the current level.

(e) As discussed in Note 4 to the Partnership's consolidated financial
statements for the year ended December 31, 1995, the Partnership's
transportation and terminal operations are subject to extensive regulation under
federal, state and local environmental laws concerning, among other things, the
generation, handling, transportation and disposal of hazardous materials, and
the Partnership is, from time to time, subject to environmental cleanup and
enforcement actions.

The Partnership's accompanying balance sheet includes reserves for environmental
costs that relate to existing conditions caused by past operations. Estimates of
the Partnership's ultimate liabilities associated with environmental costs are
particularly difficult to make with certainty due to the number of variables
involved, including the early stage of investigation at certain sites, the
lengthy time frames required to complete remediation at most locations, the
number of parties involved, the number of remediation alternatives available,
the uncertainty of potential recoveries from third parties and the evolving
nature of environmental laws and regulations.

Based on the information presently available, it is the opinion of management
that the Partnership's environmental costs, to the extent they exceed recorded
liabilities, will not have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's
financial condition; nevertheless, it is possible that the Partnership's results
of operations in particular quarterly or annual periods could be materially
affected as additional information becomes available.


             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF CONSOLIDATED
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO 1995 PERIOD
The Partnership reported net income for the three months ended September 30,
1996 of $11.6 million, compared to net income of $17.7 million in the 1995
quarter, with the variance being primarily due to a $8.0 million provision for
FERC litigation costs recorded during the current year quarter. Excluding the
provision, adjusted net income for the three months ended September 30, 1996 was
$19.3 million. Revenues for the third quarter of 1996 of $62.3 million were $1.5
million, or 2.5%, above the corresponding 1995 quarter's level. Trunk revenues
were $1.6 million higher than in the 1995 period due to higher volumes. Total
volumes transported increased 4% compared to the 1995 period, with commercial
volumes about 5% higher and military volumes 4% lower than in 1995. Deliveries
to most markets served by the Partnership have increased over 1995 levels.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
Operating expenses of $41.6 million were $7.8 million higher than in the 1995
quarter, due largely to the provision for litigation costs. Excluding the
provision, operating expenses were essentially even with the prior year quarter,
with higher field operating expenses ($0.9 million) being offset by lower power
costs ($0.5 million), facilities costs ($0.4 million) and general and
administrative expenses ($0.3 million). The increase in field operating expenses
is primarily attributable to higher environmental costs, partially offset by
reductions in certain other field costs. The decrease in power costs resulted
from periodic fuel cost adjustments received at several locations and savings
from power transmission voltage capital investments. The decrease in facilities
costs is largely due to lower right-of-way rental expense. General and
administrative expenses decreased largely due to lower outside legal and
consulting costs associated with the Sparks, Nevada environmental litigation,
partially offset by higher employee benefit costs.

Other income, net decreased by $0.2 million compared to the 1995 period
primarily due to lower interest income, which resulted from lower interest rates
and cash balances.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1996 COMPARED TO 1995 PERIOD
The Partnership reported net income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996
of $46.9 million, compared to net income of $44.6 million in the prior year
period. Results of operations included the $8.0 million provision for litigation
costs described above in 1996 and a $9.0 million provision for environmental
litigation costs recorded in 1995. Excluding these provisions, adjusted net
income for the nine months ended September 30, 1996 was $54.6 million compared
to adjusted net income of $53.4 million in the 1995 period. Total revenues of
$179.7 million were $4.2 million, or 2.4%, higher than in the prior year period.
Trunk revenues were $4.0 million higher than in 1995 due to higher volumes.
Total volumes transported increased 3% compared to the 1995 period, with
commercial volumes about 3.5% higher and military volumes 5.5% lower than in
1995. Deliveries to most markets served by the Partnership have increased over
1995 levels.

Operating expenses of $105.1 million were $1.5 million higher than in the first
nine months of 1995. Excluding the provisions described above, operating
expenses would have been $97.1 million, or 2.6%, higher than in 1995, with
higher general and administrative expenses ($2.2 million), field operating
expenses ($1.3 million) and depreciation and amortization ($0.5 million), being
partially offset by lower facilities costs ($1.0 million) and power costs ($0.5
million). General and administrative expenses were higher due to outside legal
costs, associated with the FERC proceedings and environmental insurance
litigation, and to higher employee benefit costs. The increase in field
operating expenses is primarily attributable to higher environmental costs and
pipeline repairs and maintenance, including pipeline recoating projects,
partially offset by reductions in certain other field costs. The increase in
depreciation and amortization resulted from the Partnership's expanding capital
asset base. The decrease in facilities costs is primarily attributable to a
property tax refund. The decrease in power costs resulted from periodic fuel
cost adjustments received at several locations and savings from power
transmission capital investments.

Other income, net decreased by $0.9 million compared to the 1995 period
primarily due to lower interest income, which resulted from lower interest rates
and cash balances.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, cash and cash equivalents
increased by $2.6 million. Cash flow from operations before working capital and
minority interest adjustments totaled $61.5 million for the nine months, a
decrease of $2.7 million from the corresponding 1995 period. Uses of cash
included payment of settlement costs related to the Sparks, Nevada environmental
site litigation and deferred right-of-way lease negotiation legal costs. Working
capital cash requirements decreased by $3.2 million from the corresponding 1995
period primarily due to timing differences in the payment of accrued obligations
and right-of-way rentals, and in the collection of trade and nontrade
receivables.

Significant uses of cash included cash distributions of $46.1 million and
capital expenditures of $20.2 million. Total capital expenditures for 1996 are
projected at approximately $28 million. Total cash and cash equivalents of $43.8
million at September 30, 1996 included $15.4 million for the third quarter 1996
distribution to be paid to unitholders in November 1996 and $10.2 million of
accrued interest on the First Mortgage Notes to be paid in December 1996.

Long-term debt aggregated $355 million at September 30, 1996 and consisted of
$327 million of First Mortgage Notes (the "Notes") and a $28 million borrowing
under the Partnership's bank term credit facility. The Partnership intends to
refinance its Series C Notes, due December 15, 1996 in the amount of $22
million, and some or all of the remaining Notes as the various series become
payable. To facilitate such refinancing and provide for additional financial
flexibility, the Partnership has available the multi-year term credit facility,
which presently has a $60 million aggregate limit, and a $20 million working
capital facility, with three banks. The term facility may continue to be used
for refinancing a portion of the Notes and for capital projects, while the
working capital facility is available for general short-term borrowing purposes.
The Partnership has initiated discussions with its lenders to expand the
existing term credit facility to provide additional financial flexibility.


OTHER MATTERS

                          PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Reference is made to Item 3 in the Partnership's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K
for background information on certain litigation.


FERC PROCEEDING
Hearings in the FERC Proceeding (Docket Nos. OR92-8-000, et al.) concluded in
                                                         ------
July 1996. The procedural schedule calls for the completion of post-hearing
briefs on November 26, 1996. An initial decision by the FERC Administrative Law
Judge is expected by mid-1997.

In a related FERC proceeding concerning the Partnership (Docket Nos. OR96-2-000,
et al.), testimony was filed by the parties between August and October 1996 and
------
the present procedural schedule calls for hearings to commence in December 1996.
This proceeding involves whether a tariff filing is required for movements on
certain of the Partnership's lines upstream of its Watson, California station
origin point and, if so, whether those rates may be set in this proceeding and
what those rates should be. On August 21, 1996, Ultramar Inc. ("Ultramar") filed
a separate complaint raising largely the same issues in this proceeding and, on
October 17, 1996, the FERC granted the Partnership's motion to consolidate
Ultramar's complaint into this proceeding.

On August 30, 1996, Ultramar filed a complaint concerning charges associated
with the use of the Partnership's Watson gathering enhancement facilities
(Docket No. OR96-15-000). On October 21, 1996, Ultramar filed an additional
complaint against the Partnership's West Line rates (Docket No. OR97-2-000),
presenting largely the same issues raised by the West Line shippers in the FERC
Proceeding. Management believes these complaints were filed by Ultramar
principally in an effort to obtain standing in the existing FERC proceedings,
and do not raise significant additional issues.

On June 26, 1996, the Partnership entered into an agreement with the El Paso
bankruptcy trustee which would settle El Paso's claims in the FERC Proceeding
with a payment by the Partnership of $1,250,000. This settlement has been
approved by the bankruptcy court. The Administrative Law Judge in the FERC
Proceeding has approved the withdrawal of El Paso's complaint and a final
decision by the FERC is pending. This settlement does not affect El Paso's
pending civil litigation against the Partnership.

In September 1996, the Partnership and Navajo reached an agreement in principle
whereby Navajo will withdraw its complaint against the Partnership's West Line
rates in exchange for a cash payment. Navajo's withdrawal of its West Line
complaint, which will be submitted to the FERC for approval in mid-November
1996, would not affect Navajo's remaining complaint against the Partnership's
East Line rates. During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership
also presented settlement offers to all of the remaining complainants in the
FERC proceedings, including Navajo, concerning its East Line rates. During the
quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership recorded an $8.0 million
provision for litigation costs to increase its existing reserves to reflect the
total amount that would be payable under the settlement offers that had been
extended as of that date, including those offers that have been accepted by El
Paso and Navajo.

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
The terms of the pending settlement agreements with El Paso and Navajo do not
provide for prospective rate reductions, but other offers that have been
extended do include proposed reductions in the Partnership's rates. The
Partnership is not able to predict with certainty whether settlement agreements
will be completed with some or all of the remaining complainants, the final
terms of any such additional settlement agreements that may be consummated, or
the final outcome of the FERC proceedings should they be carried through to
their conclusions. However, the ultimate resolution of the FERC proceedings
could have a material adverse effect on the Partnership's results of operations,
financial condition or ability to maintain its quarterly cash distribution at
the current level.

ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
During the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership entered into a
stipulation with the United States Environmental Protection Agency, whereby the
Partnership will pay $300,000 in fines to settle a June 1993 Notice of
Violations associated with an oxygenate blending equipment malfunction at the
Partnership's Phoenix terminal.

Also during the quarter ended September 30, 1996, the Partnership entered into a
stipulation with the California Department of Fish and Game to settle the
agency's claims arising from a January 1994 pipeline product release in
Martinez, California. The Partnership agreed to pay a total of $200,000 in
restoration costs and to reimburse $50,000 in agency oversight costs.
