TEEKAY OFFSHORE PARTNERS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except unit and per unit data)
1.  
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (or GAAP). These financial statements include the accounts of Teekay Offshore Partners L.P., which is a limited partnership organized under the laws of the Republic of The Marshall Islands, its wholly owned or controlled subsidiaries and the Dropdown Predecessor, as described in Note 2 below and variable interest entities (or VIEs) for which Teekay Offshore Partners L.P. or its subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries (see Note 12) (collectively, the Partnership). The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements have been omitted and, therefore, these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Partnership’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F. In the opinion of management of our general partner, Teekay Offshore GP L.L.C. (or the General Partner), these interim unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly, in all material respects, the Partnership’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, changes in total equity and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of those for a full fiscal year. Historically, the utilization of shuttle tankers in the North Sea is higher in the winter months and lower in the summer months, as generally there is higher maintenance in the oil fields during the summer months, which leads to lower oil production, and thus, lower shuttle tanker utilization during that period. Significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated upon consolidation.
2.  
Dropdown Predecessor
On April 1, 2010, the Partnership acquired from Teekay Corporation a floating storage and offtake (or FSO) unit, the Falcon Spirit, together with its charter contract. This transaction was accounted for as a business acquisition between entities under common control. As a result, the Partnership’s consolidated statements of income, cash flows and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 have been retroactively adjusted to include the results of the acquired vessel (referred to herein, together with the results of the Cidade de Rio das Ostras (or Rio das Ostras), described below, as the Dropdown Predecessor), from the date that the Partnership and the acquired vessel were both under common control of Teekay Corporation and had begun operations. The vessel began operations under the ownership of Teekay Corporation on December 15, 2009. The effect of adjusting the Partnership’s financial statements to account for the common control transfer of the Falcon Spirit increased the Partnership’s net income and comprehensive income by $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
On October 1, 2010, the Partnership acquired from Teekay Corporation a floating production, storage and offloading (or FPSO) unit, the Rio das Ostras. This transaction was accounted for as a business acquisition between entities under common control. As a result, the Partnership’s consolidated statements of income, cash flows and comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2010 have been retroactively adjusted to include the results of the Rio das Ostras from the date that the Partnership and the acquired vessel were both under common control of Teekay Corporation and had begun operations. Teekay Corporation had an 82% interest in the Rio das Ostras when it commenced operations on April 1, 2008. Teekay Corporation acquired the remaining 18% interest on June 30, 2008. Adjusting the Partnership’s financial statements to account for the common control transfer of the Rio das Ostras decreased the Partnership’s net income and comprehensive income by ($1.4) million and ($1.8) million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2010.
3.  
Adoption of New Accounting Policies
In January 2011, the Partnership adopted an amendment to Financial Accounting Standards Board (or FASB) Accounting Standards Codification (or ASC) 605, Revenue Recognition, that provides for a new methodology for establishing the fair value for a deliverable in a multiple-element arrangement. When a vendor specific objective or third-party evidence for deliverables in a multiple-element arrangement cannot be determined, the Partnership will be required to develop a best estimate of the selling price of separate deliverables and to allocate the arrangement consideration using the relative selling price method. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements.

The Partnership has determined that there were no non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities carried at fair value at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010, except for a 1992-built shuttle tanker, which was written down to an estimated fair value of $11.0 million at December 31, 2010 and a 1993-built conventional tanker, which was written down to an estimated fair value of $16.9 million at March 31, 2011. The fair value of the vessels were determined based on directly observable inputs (level 2).
  b)  
Financing Receivables
The Partnership employs a number of vessels on long-term time charters and assembles, installs, operates and leases equipment that reduces volatile organic compound emissions (or VOC Equipment) during loading, transportation and storage of oil and oil products. The long-term time-charters and the leasing of the VOC Equipment are accounted for as direct financing leases, with lease payments received by the Partnership being allocated between the net investment in the lease and other income using the effective interest method so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return over the lease term.
The following table contains a summary of the Partnership’s financing receivables by type of borrower and the method by which the Partnership monitors the credit quality of its financing receivables on a quarterly basis:

As at March 31, 2011, the Partnership had nine long-term revolving credit facilities, which, as at such date, provided for borrowings of up to $1,446.60 million, of which $258.5 million was undrawn. The total amount available under the revolving credit facilities reduces by $163.8 million (remainder of 2011), $187.0 million (2012), $333.5 million (2013), $659.4 million (2014), $17.5 million (2015) and $85.4 million (thereafter). Six of the revolving credit facilities are guaranteed by the Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries for all outstanding amounts and contain covenants that require the Partnership to maintain the greater of a minimum liquidity (cash, cash equivalents and undrawn committed revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity) of at least $75.0 million and 5.0% of the Partnership’s total consolidated debt. The Partnership also has a revolving credit facility of which Teekay Corporation guarantees $65.0 million of the final repayment. In addition to the Partnership covenants described above, Teekay Corporation is also required to maintain the greater of a minimum liquidity (cash, cash equivalents and undrawn committed revolving credit lines with at least six months to maturity) of at least $50.0 million and 5.0% of Teekay Corporation’s total consolidated debt which has recourse to Teekay Corporation. The remaining two revolving credit facilities are guaranteed by Teekay Corporation and contain covenants that require Teekay Corporation to maintain the greater of a minimum liquidity (cash and cash equivalents) of at least $50.0 million and 5.0% of Teekay Corporation’s total consolidated debt which has recourse to Teekay Corporation. The revolving credit facilities are collateralized by first-priority mortgages granted on 35 of the Partnership’s vessels, together with other related security.

TEEKAY OFFSHORE PARTNERS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(all tabular amounts stated in thousands of U.S. dollars, except unit and per unit data)
On November 30, 2010, the Partnership issued NOK 600 million in senior unsecured bonds that mature in November 2013 in the Norwegian bond market. The Partnership capitalized issuance costs of $1.3 million, which is recorded in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheet and is amortized over the term of the senior unsecured bonds. The bonds have been listed on the Oslo Stock Exchange. Interest payments on the senior unsecured bonds are based on NIBOR plus a margin of 4.75%. The Partnership entered into a cross currency swap to swap the interest payments from NIBOR into LIBOR and principal from Norwegian Kroner to US dollars. (See Note 10).
As at March 31, 2011, five of the Partnership’s 50% owned subsidiaries each had an outstanding term loan, which in the aggregate totaled $211.4 million. The term loans reduce over time with quarterly and semi-annual payments and have varying maturities through 2017. These term loans are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on the five vessels to which the loans relate, together with other related security. As at March 31, 2011, the Partnership had guaranteed $59.7 million of these term loans, which represents its 50% share of the outstanding vessel mortgage debt of four of these 50% owned subsidiaries. The other owner and Teekay Corporation have guaranteed $105.7 million and $46.0 million, respectively.
As at March 31, 2011, the Partnership had term loans outstanding for the shuttle tankers the Amundsen Spirit and the Nansen Spirit, which in the aggregate totaled $184.7 million. For each of these loans, one tranche reduces in semi-annual payments while the other tranche correspondingly is drawn up every six months with a final $29.1 million bullet payment per vessel due 12 years and three months from each vessel delivery date. These term loans are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on the vessels to which the loans relate, together with other related security and are guaranteed by Teekay Corporation.
As at March 31, 2011, the Partnership had term loans outstanding for the Rio das Ostras FPSO unit and the shuttle tanker the Peary Spirit, which in the aggregate totaled $112.6 million and are guaranteed by Teekay Corporation. The term loans reduce over time with quarterly and semi-annual payments and have varying maturities through 2023. These term loans are collateralized by first-priority mortgages on the vessels to which the loans relate, together with other related security.
Interest payments on the revolving credit facilities and the term loans are based on LIBOR plus a margin. At March 31, 2011, the margins ranged between 0.30% and 3.25%. The weighted-average effective interest rate on the Partnership’s variable rate long-term debt as at March 31, 2011 was 1.5%. This rate does not include the effect of the Partnership’s interest rate swaps (see Note 10).
The aggregate annual long-term debt principal repayments required to be made subsequent to March 31, 2011 are $122.0 million (remainder of 2011), $201.5 million (2012), $350.3 million (2013), $799.1 million (2014), $53.7 million (2015), and $278.6 million (thereafter).
As at March 31, 2011, the Partnership and Teekay Corporation were in compliance with all covenants related to the credit facilities and long-term debt.
7.  
Restructuring Charge
During the three months ended March 31, 2011, the Partnership sold the FSO unit, Karratha Spirit, and the time-charter contract for the Basker Spirit was terminated. The Partnership committed to plans for termination of the employment of certain seafarers of the two vessels. Under the plans, the Partnership recorded restructuring charges of approximately $3.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2011. At March 31, 2011, restructuring liabilities of $3.8 million were recorded in accrued liabilities.
During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Partnership completed the remaining reflagging of two of its vessels from Norwegian flag to Bahamian flag and changed the nationality mix of its crews. The Partnership commenced the reflagging of a total of seven vessels in March 2009. During the three months ended March 31, 2010, the Partnership incurred $0.1 million in restructuring costs.

Related Party Transactions and Balances
  a)  
On March 8, 2011, the Partnership acquired Teekay Corporation’s 49% interest in Teekay Offshore Operating L.P. (or OPCO) for a combination of $175 million in cash (less $15 million in distributions made by OPCO to Teekay Corporation between December 31, 2010 and the date of acquisition) and the issuance of 7.6 million of the Partnership’s common units to Teekay Corporation and a 2% proportionate interest to the General Partner in a private placement (see Note 13). The acquisition increased the Partnership’s ownership of OPCO to 100%. The excess of the proceeds paid by the Partnership over Teekay Corporation’s historical book value of $128.0 million for the 49% interest in OPCO was accounted for as an equity distribution to Teekay Corporation of $258.3 million.
  b)  
On April 1, 2010, the Partnership acquired Teekay Corporation’s 100% interest in an FSO unit, the Falcon Spirit, together with its charter contract, for a purchase price of $44.1 million. The purchase was partially financed through proceeds from a public offering of common units. The Falcon Spirit is chartered to a subsidiary of Occidental Petroleum of Qatar Ltd., on a fixed-rate time charter contract for 7.5 years (beginning December 2009) with an option for the charterer to extend the contract for an additional 1.5 years. The acquisition consisted of the Partnership acquiring Teekay Corporation’s equity interest in Teekay Al Raayan LLC for $11.3 million and Teekay Corporation’s interest in amounts due to Teekay Corporation from Teekay Al Raayan LLC for $32.8 million.

Average forward rate represents the contracted amount of foreign currency one U.S. Dollar will buy.
The Partnership incurs interest expense on its Norwegian Kroner-denominated bonds. The Partnership entered into a cross currency swap to economically hedge the foreign exchange risk on the principal and interest. As at March 31, 2011, the Partnership was committed to one cross currency swap with the notional amounts of NOK 600 million and $98.5 million, which exchanges a receipt of floating interest based on NIBOR plus a margin 4.75% with a payment of floating interest based on LIBOR plus a margin of 5.04%. In addition, the cross currency swap locks in the transfer of principal to $98.5 million upon maturity in exchange for NOK 600 million. The fair value of the swap as at March 31, 2011 was $10.5 million.
Interest Rate Risk
The Partnership enters into interest rate swaps, which exchange a receipt of floating interest for a payment of fixed interest to reduce the Partnership’s exposure to interest rate variability on its outstanding floating-rate debt. The Partnership has not designated, for accounting purposes, its interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of its U.S. Dollar LIBOR-denominated borrowings.

As at March 31, 2011, the Partnership’s accumulated other comprehensive income consisted of unrealized gains on foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges. As at March 31, 2011, the Partnership estimated, based on the current foreign exchange rates, that it would reclassify approximately $7.1 million of net gains on foreign currency forward contracts from accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings during the next 12 months.
Realized and unrealized (losses) gains of interest rate swaps and foreign currency forward contracts that are not designated for accounting purposes as cash flow hedges, are recognized in earnings and reported in realized and unrealized (losses) gains on non-designated derivatives in the consolidated statements of income. The effect of the (loss) gain on derivatives not designated as hedging instruments on the consolidated statements of income is as follows:

Realized and unrealized gains of the cross currency swap are recognized in earnings and reported in foreign exchange (loss) gain in the consolidated statements of income. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, an unrealized gain of $6.2 million (2010 — $nil) and a realized gain of $0.7 million (2010 — $nil) were recognized in earnings.
The Partnership is exposed to credit loss in the event of non-performance by the counter-parties to the foreign currency forward contracts and the interest rate swap agreements. In order to minimize counterparty risk, the Partnership only enters into derivative transactions with counterparties that are rated A- or better by Standard & Poor’s or A3 or better by Moody’s at the time of the transactions. In addition, to the extent possible and practical, interest rate swaps are entered into with different counterparties to reduce concentration risk.

Commitments and Contingencies
  a)  
During 2010, an unrelated party contributed a shuttle tanker with a value of $35.0 million to a subsidiary of OPCO for a 33% equity interest in the subsidiary. The equity issuance resulted in a dilution loss of $7.4 million. The non-controlling interest owner in the subsidiary holds a put option which, if exercised, would obligate OPCO to purchase the non-controlling interest owner’s 33% share in the entity for cash in accordance with a defined formula. The redeemable non-controlling interest is subject to remeasurement if the formulaic redemption amount exceeds the carrying value.
  b)  
The Partnership may, from time to time, be involved in legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Partnership believes that any adverse outcome, individually or in the aggregate, of any existing claims would not have a material effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows, when taking into account its insurance coverage and indemnifications from charterers or Teekay Corporation.
  c)  
The Partnership consolidates certain VIEs. In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, limited-liability company, trust or any other legal structure used to conduct activities or hold assets that either (1) has an insufficient amount of equity to carry out its principal activities without additional subordinated financial support, (2) has a group of equity owners that are unable to make significant decisions about its activities, or (3) has a group of equity owners that do not have the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive returns generated by its operations. A party that is a variable interest holder is required to consolidate a VIE if it has both (a) the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
On October 1, 2010, OPCO agreed to acquire all of Teekay Corporation’s interests in the Peary Spirit LLC, which owns the newbuilding shuttle tanker, Peary Spirit. On that date the Peary Spirit LLC became a VIE and the Partnership became its primary beneficiary. The Partnership consolidates the Peary Spirit LLC in its consolidated financial statements effective October 1, 2010. The purchase of the Peary Spirit LLC is expected to coincide with the commencement of the time-charter contract for the Peary Spirit in July 2011.
The following table summarizes the balance sheets of the Peary Spirit LLC as at March 31, 2011 and December 31, 2010:

The assets and liabilities of Peary Spirit LLC are reflected in the Partnership’s consolidated financial statements at historical cost as the Partnership and the VIE are under common control. The Partnership’s maximum exposure to loss as of March 31, 2011, as a result of its commitment to purchase Teekay Corporation’s interests in the Peary Spirit LLC, is limited to the purchase price of its interest in the Peary Spirit, which is expected to be approximately $133 million. The assets of the Peary Spirit LLC cannot be used by the Partnership and the creditors of the Peary Spirit LLC have no recourse to the general credit of the Partnership.

13.  
Partners’ Equity and Net Income Per Unit
Private Placement
On March 8, 2011, the Partnership issued 7.6 million common units to Teekay Corporation and a 2% proportionate interest to the General Partner as part of the consideration for the Partnership’s acquisition of the remaining interests in OPCO (see Note 9a). As a result of the transaction, Teekay Corporation’s ownership of the Partnership was increased from 28.26% to 36.90%, including the 2% General Partner interest.
Net Income Per Unit
Net income per unit is determined by dividing net income, after deducting the amount of net income attributable to the Dropdown Predecessor, the non-controlling interest and the General Partner’s interest, by the weighted-average number of units outstanding during the applicable period.
The General Partner’s and common unit holders’ interests in net income are calculated as if all net income was distributed according to the terms of the Partnership’s partnership agreement, regardless of whether those earnings would or could be distributed. The partnership agreement does not provide for the distribution of net income; rather, it provides for the distribution of available cash, which is a contractually defined term that generally means all cash on hand at the end of each quarter less the amount of cash reserves established by the Partnership’s board of directors to provide for the proper conduct of the Partnerships’ business including reserves for maintenance and replacement capital expenditure and anticipated credit needs. Unlike available cash, net income is affected by non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, unrealized gains and losses on derivative instruments and foreign currency translation gains.
During the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, cash distributions exceeded $0.4025 per unit and, consequently, the assumed distributions of net income resulted in the use of the increasing percentages to calculate the General Partner’s interest in net income for the purposes of the net income per unit calculation.
Pursuant to the partnership agreement, allocations to partners are made on a quarterly basis.
14.  
Supplemental Cash Flow Information
  a)  
The Partnership’s consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2010 reflects the Dropdown Predecessor as if the Partnership had acquired the Dropdown Predecessor when the vessels began operations under the ownership of Teekay Corporation. For non-cash changes related to the Dropdown Predecessor, see Note 9.
  b)  
The contribution from the non-controlling interest owner described in Note 12a has been treated as a non-cash transaction in the Partnership’s consolidated statement of cash flows.
15.  
Write-down of Vessel
The Partnership’s consolidated statement of income for three months ended March 31, 2011 includes a total write-down of $0.9 million for impairment on a 1993-built conventional tanker, as the conventional tanker’s carrying value exceeded its estimated fair value. The fair value of the conventional tanker was calculated based on the value of its estimated discounted cash flows which primarily includes an estimated sales price of the vessel. The write-down is included within the Partnership’s conventional tanker segment.

MARCH 31, 2011
PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 2 —  
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
We are an international provider of marine transportation, oil production and storage services to the offshore oil industry. We operate shuttle tankers, floating storage and offtake (or FSO) units, floating production, storage and offloading (or FPSO) units and conventional crude oil tankers.
SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS
On March 8, 2011, we acquired the remaining 49% interest in Teekay Offshore Operating L.P. (or OPCO) from Teekay Corporation for a combination of $175 million in cash (less $15 million in distributions made by OPCO to Teekay Corporation between December 31, 2010 and the date of acquisition) and 7.6 million of common units (and associated General Partner interest) to Teekay Corporation.
On October 1, 2010, we agreed to acquire from Teekay Corporation a newbuilding shuttle tanker, the Peary Spirit, for approximately $133 million, concurrent with the commencement of its time-charter contract in July 2011. Teekay Corporation is obligated to offer the Partnership an additional shuttle tanker newbuilding (the Scott Spirit) within 365 days after its delivery, provided the vessel is servicing a charter contract in excess of three years in length.
Potential Additional Shuttle Tanker, FSO and FPSO Projects
Pursuant to an omnibus agreement we entered into in connection with our initial public offering in December 2006, Teekay Corporation is obligated to offer to us its interest in certain shuttle tankers, FSO units, FPSO units and joint ventures it may acquire in the future, provided the vessels are servicing contracts with remaining durations of three years or greater. We also may acquire other vessels that Teekay Corporation may offer us from time to time in the future.
Pursuant to the omnibus agreement and a subsequent agreement, Teekay Corporation is obligated to offer to sell to us the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO, an existing FPSO unit of Teekay Petrojarl AS (or Teekay Petrojarl), a wholly owned subsidiary of Teekay Corporation, prior to July 9, 2012. The purchase price for the Petrojarl Foinaven FPSO would be its fair market value plus any additional tax or other similar costs to Teekay Petrojarl that would be required to transfer the FPSO unit to us.
On October 19, 2010, Teekay Corporation announced that it had signed a contract with Petroleo Brasileiro SA (or Petrobras) to provide a FPSO unit for the Tiro and Sidon fields located in the Santos Basin offshore Brazil. The contract with Petrobras will be serviced by a newly converted FPSO unit, to be named the Petrojarl Cidade de Itajai, which is currently under conversion from an existing Aframax tanker at Sembcorp Marine’s Jurong Shipyard in Singapore, for a total estimated cost of approximately $370 million. This new FPSO is scheduled to deliver in the second quarter of 2012 when it will commence operations under a nine-year, fixed-rate time-charter contract with Petrobras with six additional one-year extension options. Pursuant to the omnibus agreement, Teekay Corporation is obligated to offer to us its interest in this FPSO unit at Teekay Corporation’s fully built-up cost within 365 days after the commencement of the charter to Petrobras.
Teekay Corporation recently entered into a joint venture agreement with Odebrecht Oil & Gas S.A. (a member of the Odebrecht group) to jointly pursue FPSO projects in Brazil. Teekay Corporation and Odebrecht are 50% partners in the Tiro Sidon FPSO project and are currently working on potential FPSO project opportunities which, pursuant to the omnibus agreement, may result in the future sale of new FPSO units to us.
Teekay Corporation recently signed a Letter of Intent with a major oil and gas company to provide a new harsh weather FPSO which will operate in the North Sea. Teekay Corporation has been involved in the front-end engineering and design study for this project over the past several months, and is currently working towards finalizing a contract with the customer. In connection with this project, Teekay Corporation recently signed a conditional contract with Samsung Heavy Industries to construct a newbuilding FPSO unit. If Teekay Corporation is awarded an operating contract that is three years or greater in duration, pursuant to the omnibus agreement, Teekay Corporation would be obligated to offer to us its interest in this FPSO project at Teekay Corporation’s fully built-up cost within 365 days after the commencement of the charter.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
There are a number of factors that should be considered when evaluating our historical financial performance and assessing our future prospects and we use a variety of financial and operational terms and concepts when analyzing our results of operations. These can be found in Item 5 — Operating and Financial Review and Prospects in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2010. In accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (or GAAP), we report gross revenues in our income statements and include voyage expenses among our operating expenses. However, shipowners base economic decisions regarding the deployment of their vessels upon anticipated time charter equivalent (or TCE) rates, and industry analysts typically measure bulk shipping freight rates in terms of TCE rates. This is because under time charters and bareboat charters the customer usually pays the voyage expenses, while under voyage charters and contracts of affreightment the shipowner usually pays the voyage expenses, which typically are added to the hire rate at an approximate cost. Accordingly, the discussion of revenue below focuses on net revenues (i.e. revenues less voyage expenses) and TCE rates of our four reportable segments where applicable. TCE rates represent net revenues divided by revenue days. Please read Item 1 — Financial Statements: Note 5 — Segment Reporting.
We manage our business and analyze and report our results of operations on the basis of four business segments: the shuttle tanker segment, the conventional tanker segment, the FSO segment and the FPSO segment, each of which are discussed below.

Table of Contents

Shuttle Tanker Segment
As at March 31, 2011, our shuttle tanker fleet consisted of 35 vessels that operate under fixed-rate contracts of affreightment, time charters and bareboat charters. Of the 35 shuttle tankers, six were owned through 50% owned subsidiaries, three through a 67% owned subsidiary and five were chartered-in. All of these shuttle tankers provide transportation services to energy companies, primarily in the North Sea and Brazil. Our shuttle tankers service the conventional spot market from time to time.
The following table presents our shuttle tanker segment’s operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, and compares its net revenues (which is a non-GAAP financial measure) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 to revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the same periods. The following table also provides a summary of the changes in calendar-ship-days by owned and chartered-in vessels for our shuttle tanker segment:

(1)  
Includes direct general and administrative expenses and indirect general and administrative expenses (allocated to the shuttle tanker segment based on estimated use of corporate resources).
The average size of our owned shuttle tanker fleet for the three months ended March 31, 2011 increased compared to the same period last year, primarily due to:
   
the purchase from Teekay Corporation of two newbuilding shuttle tankers, the Amundsen Spirit and the Nansen Spirit, in October 2010 and December 2010, respectively (or the 2010 Newbuilding Shuttle Tanker Acquisitions); and
   
the acquisition of one previously chartered-in vessel in February 2010 by our majority owned subsidiary (or the 2010 Shuttle Tanker Acquisition).
The average size of our chartered-in shuttle tanker fleet decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to the same period last year, primarily due to:
   
the redelivery of two chartered-in vessels to their owners in February 2010 and November 2010, respectively; and
   
the 2010 Shuttle Tanker Acquisition.
Net Revenues. Net revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the same period last year, primarily due to:
   
an increase of $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to the 2010 Newbuilding Shuttle Tanker Acquisitions;
   
an increase of $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to a net increase in rates as provided in certain contracts of affreightment, bareboat and time-charter contracts as well as from entering into new contracts during 2010; and
   
an increase of $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to an increase in reimbursable bunker costs as provided for in new contracts during 2010;
   
partially offset by
   
a decrease of $11.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to fewer revenue days from our shuttle tankers due to declining oil production at mature oil fields in the North Sea and a decrease in revenue days in the conventional spot market from decreased demand for conventional crude transportation;
   
a net decrease of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to the same period last year due to an increase in the number of offhire days resulting from more scheduled drydockings in the time-chartered fleet and higher unexpected repair offhire days;
   
a decrease of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to the redelivery of one vessel in March 2011 as it completed its time-charter agreement; and
   
a decrease of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to higher bunker prices as compared to the same period last year.

Table of Contents

Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the same period last year, primarily due to:
   
an increase of $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to the 2010 Newbuilding Shuttle Tanker Acquisitions;
   
an increase of $3.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to an increase in the number of vessels drydocked, and costs related to services and spares. Certain repair and maintenance items are more efficient to complete while a vessel is in drydock. Consequently, repair and maintenance costs will typically increase in periods when there is an increase in the number of vessels drydocked; and
   
an increase of $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 in crew and manning costs as compared to the same period last year resulting primarily from a planned increase in wages;
   
partially offset by
   
a decrease of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 relating to the net realized and unrealized changes in fair value of our foreign currency forward contracts that are or have been designated as hedges for accounting purposes; and
   
a decrease of $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 relating to the settlement of a claim from a customer in 2010.
Time-Charter Hire Expense. Time-charter hire expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the same period last year, primarily due to:
   
a decrease of $5.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to the redelivery of two chartered-in vessels to their owners in February 2010 and November 2010; and
   
a decrease of $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to the 2010 Shuttle Tanker Acquisition;
   
partially offset by
   
an increase of $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to increased spot in-chartering of vessels;
   
an increase of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to less off-hire in the in-chartered fleet; and
   
an increase of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to an increase in rates on certain contracts in the in-chartered fleet.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the same period last year, primarily due to the 2010 Newbuilding Shuttle Tanker Acquisitions and the 2010 Shuttle Tanker Acquisition.
Restructuring Charges. Restructuring charges were $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 resulting from the termination of the charter contract of one of our vessels. Restructuring charges were $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2010, relating to the completion of the reflagging of seven of our vessels from Norwegian flag to Bahamian flag and a change in the nationality mix of our crews. Under this plan, we recorded restructuring charges of approximately $4.9 million in total since the plan began in 2009.
Conventional Tanker Segment
We have a fleet of 11 Aframax conventional crude oil tankers, nine of which operate under fixed-rate time charters with Teekay Corporation. The remaining two vessels, which have additional equipment for lightering, operate under fixed-rate bareboat charters with Skaugen PetroTrans, Teekay Corporation’s 50% owned joint venture.

Includes direct general and administrative expenses and indirect general and administrative expenses (allocated to the conventional tanker segment based on estimated use of corporate resources).
Net Revenues. Net revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the same period last year primarily due to a net increase of $3.5 million in net bunker revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to an increase in bunker index prices compared to the same period last year.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the same period last year primarily due to increased drydockings in the last three quarters of 2010.
Write-down of Vessel. Write down of vessel for the three months ended March 31, 2011 relates to the valuation impairment of one conventional tanker. The vessel’s carrying value exceeded its estimated fair value due to an expected sale of the vessel and termination of its existing charter contract. The fair value of the vessel was written-down based on the value of its projected discounted cash flows.
FSO Segment
Our FSO fleet consists of five vessels that operate under fixed-rate time charters or fixed-rate bareboat charters. FSO units provide an on-site storage solution to oil field installations that have no oil storage facilities or that require supplemental storage. Our revenues and vessel operating expenses for the FSO segment are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates, as a significant component of revenues are earned and vessel operating expenses are incurred in Norwegian Kroner and Australian Dollars for certain vessels. The strengthening of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Norwegian Kroner and Australian Dollar may result in a significant decrease in our revenues and a decrease in vessel operating expenses.
The following table presents our FSO segment’s operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, and compares its net revenues (which is a non-GAAP financial measure) for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 to revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, for the same periods. The following table also provides a summary of the changes in calendar-ship-days for our FSO segment:

On March 18, 2011 we sold one of our FSO units, the Karratha Spirit for proceeds of $5.1 million, resulting in a loss of $0.2 million. As described below, we committed to plans for termination of the employment of certain seafarers of this vessel resulting in restructuring charges.
Net Revenues. Net revenues decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the same period last year, primarily due to:
   
a decrease of $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to a lower charter rate on the Navion Saga in accordance with the charter contract that took effect in the second quarter of 2010 and a one-time reimbursement from customers for certain crewing costs in the three months ended March 31, 2010; and
   
a decrease of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to lower revenues related to the sale of the Karratha Spirit;
   
partially offset by
   
an increase of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to foreign currency exchange differences as compared to the same period last year.
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the same period last year, primarily due to the weakening of the U.S. Dollar against the Australian Dollar compared to the same period last year.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation decreased by $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the same period last year as the costs relating to the conversion of the Navion Saga from a shuttle tanker to an FSO unit were fully depreciated at the end of the fixed term of its contract in April 2010.
Loss on sale of vessel. Loss on sale of vessel for the three months ended March 31, 2011 relates to the sale of the Karratha Spirit.
Restructuring charge. Restructuring charges for the three months ended March 31, 2011 were incurred in connection with the termination of employment for certain of the crew members of the Karratha Spirit following the sale of the vessel in March 2011.
FPSO Segment
Our FPSO fleet consists of the Petrojarl Varg and Rio das Ostras, which are owned by us and operate under fixed-rate time charters. FPSO units provide production, processing and storage services to oil companies operating offshore oil field installations. These services are typically provided under long-term, fixed-rate charter contracts or FPSO service contracts. Historically, the utilization of FPSO units and other vessels in the North Sea is higher in the winter months, as favorable weather conditions in the summer months provide opportunities for repairs and maintenance to our vessels and the offshore oil platforms, which generally reduces oil production.
The following table presents our FPSO segment’s operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 and also provides a summary of the calendar-ship-days for our FPSO segment:

We acquired the Rio das Ostras from Teekay Corporation in October 2010. However, as a result of the inclusion of the Dropdown Predecessor, the Rio das Ostras has been included for accounting purposes in our results as if it was acquired on April 1, 2008, when Teekay Corporation acquired its initial 82% interest in the Rio das Ostras. Please read Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report.
Revenues. Revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the same period last year, primarily due to a one-time accrual of $3.1 million relating to back-pay for services previously rendered to the charterer of the Rio das Ostras.
Vessel Operating Expenses. Vessel operating expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the same period last year, primarily due to:
   
an increase of $2.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to increased repairs on the Rio das Ostras while on yard stay;
   
increase of $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to planned crewing and manning wage increases; and
 
   
an increase of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 due to the weakening of the U.S. Dollar against the Norwegian Kroner compared to the same period last year.

Other Operating Results
General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $18.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $16.6 million for the same period last year mainly relating to a one-time management fee charged to us by Teekay Corporation associated with the portion of stock-based compensation grants of Teekay Corporation’s former Chief Executive Officer that had not yet vested prior to the date of his retirement on March 31, 2011.
Interest Expense. Interest expense, which excludes realized and unrealized gains and losses from interest rate swaps, decreased to $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from $9.9 million for the same period last year, primarily due to:
   
a decrease of $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 from the financing of the Falcon Spirit and Rio das Ostras (including the Dropdown Predecessor) mainly due to a decrease in debt balances; and
   
a decrease of $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 related to scheduled repayments and prepayments of debt during 2011 and 2010;
   
partially offset by
   
an increase of $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 mainly related to loan costs.
Realized and Unrealized Gains (Losses) on Non-designated Derivatives. Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on non-designated derivatives were $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to ($24.5) million for the same period last year, as detailed in the table below:

Foreign Currency Exchange (Losses) Gains. Foreign currency exchange losses were ($0.8) million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, compared to gains of $1.6 million for the same period last year. Our foreign currency exchange losses and gains, substantially all of which are unrealized, are due primarily to the relevant period-end revaluation of Norwegian Kroner-denominated monetary assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes. Gains reflect a stronger U.S. Dollar against the Norwegian Kroner on the date of revaluation or settlement compared to the rate in effect at the beginning of the period. Losses reflect a weaker U.S. Dollar against the Norwegian Kroner on the date of revaluation or settlement compared to the rate in effect at the beginning of the period. For the three months ended March 31, 2011, foreign currency exchange losses and gains include a realized gain of $0.7 million (2010 — nil) and an unrealized gain of $6.2 million (2010 — nil) on the cross currency swap.
Income Tax (Expense) Recovery. Income tax (expense) recovery was ($2.7) million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $6.9 million for the same period last year. The $9.6 million increase to income tax expense was primarily due to an increase in deferred income tax expense relating to unrealized foreign exchange translation gains.
Other Income. Other income was $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011 compared to $2.5 million for the same period last year, which was primarily comprised of leasing income from our volatile organic compound equipment. The leasing income is decreasing as the contracts near completion.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Liquidity and Cash Needs
As at March 31, 2011, our total cash and cash equivalents were $123.4 million, compared to $166.5 million at December 31, 2010. Our total liquidity, including cash, cash equivalents and undrawn long-term borrowings, was $381.9 million as at March 31, 2011, compared to $557.6 million as at December 31, 2010. The decrease in liquidity is primarily the result of our acquisition of the remaining 49% of OPCO from Teekay Corporation on March 8, 2011.
In addition to distributions on our equity interests, our primary short-term liquidity needs are to fund general working capital requirements and drydocking expenditures, while our long-term liquidity needs primarily relate to expansion and investment capital expenditures and maintenance capital expenditures and debt repayment. Expansion capital expenditures are primarily for the purchase or construction of vessels to the extent the expenditures increase the operating capacity of or revenue generated by our fleet, while maintenance capital expenditures primarily consist of drydocking expenditures and expenditures to replace vessels in order to maintain the operating capacity of or revenue generated by our fleet. Investment capital expenditures are those capital expenditures that are neither maintenance capital expenditures nor expansion capital expenditures.

Table of Contents

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents and undrawn long-term borrowings, in addition to all other sources of cash including cash from operations, will be sufficient to meet our existing liquidity needs for at least the next 12 months. Generally, our long-term sources of funds are from cash from operations, long-term bank borrowings and other debt or equity financings, or a combination thereof. Because we distribute all of our available cash, we expect that we will rely upon external financing sources, including bank borrowings and the issuance of debt and equity securities, to fund acquisitions and expansion and investment capital expenditures, including opportunities we may pursue under the omnibus agreement with Teekay Corporation and other of its affiliates.
Cash Flows. The following table summarizes our sources and uses of cash for the periods presented:
                 
    Three Months Ended March 31,  
(in thousands of U.S. dollars)   2011     2010  
 
               
Net cash flow from operating activities
    61,318       73,951  
Net cash flow used for financing activities
    (106,079 )     (40,555 )
Net cash flow from investing activities
    1,700       5,084  
Operating Cash Flows. Net cash flow from operating activities decreased to $61.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011, from $74.0 million for the same period in 2010, due primarily to fewer revenue days from our shuttle tanker operations, an increase in drydock expenditures and restructuring charges, and a lower charter rate on one of our FSO units, partially offset by a net increase in changes to non-cash working capital items, increased rates on our shuttle tankers, the acquisitions of the Amundsen Spirit and Nansen Spirit shuttle tankers, increases in the bunker index prices and daily hire rates on our conventional fleet and the redelivery of two in-chartered vessels.
Financing Cash Flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, scheduled debt repayments and prepayments on debt totaled $94.8 million. Net proceeds from long-term debt of $177.6 million were mainly used to finance our acquisition of the remaining 49% of OPCO from Teekay Corporation.
On March 22, 2010, we completed a public offering of 5.1 million common units (including 660,000 common units acquired by the underwriters upon exercise of their overallotment option). The total net proceeds from the offering (including our General Partner’s total contribution of $2.0 million) were $96.1 million. The net proceeds were used to repay the remaining $60.0 million of the Teekay Corporation vendor financing related to the September 2009 acquisition of the Petrojarl Varg and to finance a portion of the April 2010 acquisition of Teekay Corporation’s interest in the Falcon Spirit.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, scheduled debt repayments and prepayments on debt totaled $122.0 million.
Cash distributions paid by our subsidiaries to non-controlling interests during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010 totaled $17.4 million and $19.5 million, respectively. Cash distributions paid by us to our unitholders and our General Partner during the three months ended March 31, 2011 and 2010, totaled $27.7 million and $17.7 million, respectively. Subsequent to March 31, 2011, cash distributions related to the three months ended March 31, 2011 of $33.6 million was declared and subsequently paid on May 13, 2011.
Investing Cash Flows. During the three months ended March 31, 2011, net cash flow from investing activities was $1.7 million relating to $5.1 million in proceeds from the vessel sale and scheduled lease payments of $5.5 million received from the leasing of our volatile organic compound emissions equipment and direct financing lease assets, partially offset by expenditures for vessels and equipment.
During the three months ended March 31, 2010, net cash flow from investing activities was $5.1 million, primarily relating to scheduled lease payments of $6.2 million received from the leasing of our volatile organic compound emissions equipment and direct financing lease assets, partially offset by expenditures for vessels and equipment.
Credit Facilities
As at March 31, 2011, our total debt was $1.81 billion, compared to $1.72 billion as at December 31, 2010. Our revolving credit facilities and term loans are described in Item 1 — Financial Statements: Note 6 — Long-Term Debt of this report. All of our vessel financings are collateralized by the applicable vessels. As a result of our acquiring the remaining 49% limited partner interest in OPCO in March 2011, our obligations under the Bond Agreement related to our issuance of NOK 600 million in senior unsecured bonds are now guaranteed by us. The term loans used to finance five of our 50% owned subsidiaries and our revolving credit facility agreements contain typical covenants and other restrictions, including, in some cases, those that restrict the relevant subsidiaries from:
   
incurring or guaranteeing indebtedness;
   
changing ownership or structure, including by mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions;

Table of Contents

   
making dividends or distributions when in default of the relevant loans;
   
making capital expenditures in excess of specified levels;
   
making certain negative pledges or granting certain liens;
   
selling, transferring, assigning or conveying assets; or
   
entering into a new line of business.
We conduct our funding and treasury activities within corporate policies designed to minimize borrowing costs and maximize investment returns while maintaining the safety of the funds and appropriate levels of liquidity for our purposes. We hold cash and cash equivalents primarily in U.S. Dollars.
Contractual Obligations and Contingencies
The following table summarizes our long-term contractual obligations as at March 31, 2011:

Excludes expected interest payments of $19.3 million (remainder of 2011), $37.0 million (2012 and 2013), $9.6 million (2014 and 2015) and $5.1 million (beyond 2015). Expected interest payments are based on LIBOR, plus margins which ranged between 0.30% and 3.25% as at March 31, 2011, and on NIBOR plus a margin of 4.75%.
Critical Accounting Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP, which require us to make estimates in the application of our accounting policies based on our best assumptions, judgments and opinions. On a regular basis, management reviews the accounting policies, assumptions, estimates and judgments to ensure that our consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and in accordance with GAAP. However, because future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty, actual results could differ from our assumptions and estimates, and such differences could be material. Accounting estimates and assumptions discussed in this section are those that we consider to be the most critical to an understanding of our financial statements, because they inherently involve significant judgments and uncertainties. For a further description of our material accounting policies, please read Item 5 — Operating and Financial Review and Prospects in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2010.
At March 31, 2011, the shuttle tanker segment had goodwill attributable to it. As of the date of this filing, we do not believe that there is a reasonable possibility that the goodwill attributable to this reporting unit might be impaired within the next year. However, certain factors that impact this assessment are inherently difficult to forecast and as such we cannot provide any assurances that an impairment will or will not occur in the future. An assessment for impairment involves a number of assumptions and estimates that are based on factors that are beyond our control. These are discussed in more detail in the following section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements”.
FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Report on Form 6-K for the three months ended March 31, 2011 contains certain forward-looking statements (as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1933 as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) concerning future events and our operations, performance and financial condition, including, in particular, statements regarding:
   
our future growth prospects;

TEEKAY OFFSHORE PARTNERS L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES
MARCH 31, 2011
PART I — FINANCIAL INFORMATION
ITEM 3 —  
QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes primarily through our floating-rate borrowings. Significant increases in interest rates could adversely affect operating margins, results of operations and our ability to service debt. From time to time, we use interest rate swaps to reduce exposure to market risk from changes in interest rates. The principal objective of these contracts is to minimize the risks and costs associated with the floating-rate debt.
In order to minimize counterparty risk, we only enter into derivative transactions with counterparties that are rated A- or better by Standard & Poor’s or A3 or better by Moody’s at the time of the transactions. In addition, to the extent possible and practical, interest rate swaps are entered into with different counterparties to reduce concentration risk.
The tables below provide information about financial instruments as at March 31, 2011 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For long-term debt, the table presents principal payments and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates. For interest rate swaps, the table presents notional amounts and weighted-average interest rates by expected contractual maturity dates.

  (1)  
Rate refers to the weighted-average effective interest rate for our debt, including the margin paid on our floating-rate debt and the average fixed pay rate for interest rate swaps. The average fixed pay rate for interest rate swaps excludes the margin paid on the floating-rate debt, which as of March 31, 2011 ranged between 0.30% and 3.25% based on LIBOR and 4.75% based on NIBOR.
 
  (2)  
Interest payments on floating-rate debt and interest rate swaps are based on LIBOR and NIBOR.
 
  (3)  
The average variable receive rate for interest rate swaps is set quarterly at the 3-month LIBOR or semi-annually at the 6-month LIBOR.
Foreign Currency Fluctuation Risk
Our functional currency is U.S. dollars because virtually all of our revenues and most of our operating costs are in U.S. Dollars. We incur certain vessel operating expenses and general and administrative expenses in foreign currencies, the most significant of which is the Norwegian Kroner and, to a lesser extent, Australian Dollars, British Pounds, Euros and Singapore Dollars. There is a risk that currency fluctuations will have a negative effect on the value of cash flows.
We may continue to seek to hedge certain of our currency fluctuation risks in the future. At March 31, 2011, we were committed to the following foreign currency forward contracts:
                                 
    Contract Amount     Average     Expected Maturity  
    in Foreign Currency     Forward     2010     2011  
    (thousands)     Rate (1)     (in thousands of U.S. Dollars)  
Norwegian Kroner
    515,000       6.33     $ 43,812     $ 37,585  
British Pound
    3,840       0.66       3,907       1,919  
Euro
    14,323       0.74       13,058       6,176  
 
                           
 
                  $ 60,777     $ 45,680  
 
                           
 
       
  (1)  
Average forward rate represents the contracted amount of foreign currency one U.S. Dollar will buy.
We incur interest expense on our Norwegian Kroner-denominated bonds. We have entered into a cross currency swap to economically hedge the foreign exchange risk on the principal and interest. As at March 31, 2011, we were committed to one cross currency swap with the notional amounts of NOK 600 million and $98.5 million, which exchanges a receipt of floating interest based on NIBOR plus a margin 4.75% with a payment of floating interest based on LIBOR plus a margin of 5.04%. In addition, the cross currency swap locks in the transfer of principal to $98.5 million upon maturity in exchange for NOK 600 million.
Although the majority of transactions, assets and liabilities are denominated in U.S. Dollars, we had Norwegian Kroner-denominated deferred income taxes of approximately 59.7 million ($10.8 million) at March 31, 2011. We have not entered into any forward contracts to protect against currency fluctuations on any future taxes.
Commodity Price Risk
We are exposed to changes in forecasted bunker fuel costs for certain vessels being time-chartered-out and for vessels servicing certain contracts of affreightment. We may use bunker fuel swap contracts as economic hedges to protect against changes in bunker fuel costs. As at March 31, 2011, we were not committed to any bunker fuel swap contracts.
