Although we believe that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our expectations will prove to be correct. Therefore, actual outcomes and results could materially differ from what is expressed, implied or forecast in these statements. Any differences could be caused by a number of factors, including, but not limited to:

	•		risks and uncertainties with respect to the actions of actual or potential competitive suppliers of refined petroleum products in our markets;
	•		the demand for and supply of crude oil and refined products;
	•		the spread between market prices for refined products and market prices for crude oil;
	•		the possibility of constraints on the transportation of refined products;
	•		the possibility of inefficiencies, curtailments or shutdowns in refinery operations or pipelines;
	•		effects of governmental regulations and policies;
	•		the availability and cost of our financing;
	•		the effectiveness of our capital investments and marketing strategies;
	•		our efficiency in carrying out construction projects;

DEFINITIONS

Within this report, the following terms have these specific meanings:

     “Alkylation” means the reaction of propylene or butylene (olefins) with isobutane to form an iso-paraffinic gasoline (inverse of cracking).

     “BPD” means the number of barrels per day of crude oil or petroleum products.

     “BPSD” means the number of barrels per stream day (barrels of capacity in a 24 hour period) of crude oil or petroleum products.

     “Catalytic reforming” means a refinery process which uses a precious metal (such as platinum) based catalyst to convert low octane naphtha fractionated directly from crude oil to high octane gasoline blendstock and hydrogen. The hydrogen produced from the reforming process is used to desulfurize other refinery oils and is the main source of hydrogen for the refinery.

     “Cracking” means the process of breaking down larger, heavier and more complex hydrocarbon molecules into simpler and lighter molecules.

     “Crude distillation” means the process of distilling vapor from liquid crudes, usually by heating, and condensing slightly above atmospheric pressure the vapor back to liquid in order to purify, fractionate or form the desired products.

     “Ethanol” means a high octane gasoline blend stock that is used to make various grades of gasoline.

     “FCC,” or fluid catalytic cracking, means the breaking down of large, complex hydrocarbon molecules into smaller, more useful ones by the application of heat, pressure and a chemical (catalyst) to speed the process.

     “Hydrodesulfurization” means to remove sulfur and nitrogen compounds from oil or gas in the presence of hydrogen and a catalyst at relatively high temperatures.

     “HF alkylation,” or hydrofluoric alkylation, means a refinery process which combines isobutane and C3/C4 olefins using HF acid as a catalyst to make high octane gasoline blend stock.

     “Isomerization” means a refinery process for converting C5/C6 gasoline compounds into their isomers, i.e., rearranging the structure of the molecules without changing their size or chemical composition.

     “LPG” means liquid petroleum gases.

     “LSG” or low sulfur gasoline, means gasoline that contains less than 30 PPM of total sulfur.

     “MMBtu” or one million British thermal units, means for each unit, the amount of heat required to raise one pound of water one degree Fahrenheit at one atmosphere pressure.

     “MTBE” means methyl tertiary butyl ether, a high octane gasoline blend stock that is used to make various grades of gasoline.

     “Natural gasoline” means a low octane gasoline blend stock that is purchased and used to blend with other high octane stocks produced to make various grades of gasoline.

     “PPM” means parts-per-million.

     “Refining gross margin” or “refinery gross margin” means the difference between average net sales price and average costs of products per barrel of produced refined products. This does not include the associated depreciation, depletion and amortization costs.

     “Reforming” means the process of converting gasoline type molecules into aromatic, higher octane gasoline blend stocks while producing hydrogen in the process.

     “Solvent deasphalter / residuum oil supercritical extraction (“ROSE”)” means a refinery process that uses a light hydrocarbon like propane or butane to extract non asphaltene heavy oils from asphalt or atmospheric reduced crude. These deasphalted oils are then further converted to gasoline and diesel in the FCC process. The remaining asphaltenes are either sold, blended to fuel oil or blended with other asphalt as a hardener.

     “Sour crude oil” means crude oil containing quantities of sulfur greater than 0.4 percent by weight, while “sweet crude oil” means crude oil containing quantities of sulfur less than 0.4 percent by weight.

     “ULSD” or ultra low sulfur diesel, means diesel fuel that contains less than 15 PPM of total sulfur.

     “Vacuum distillation” means the process of distilling vapor from liquid crudes, usually by heating, and condensing below atmospheric pressure the vapor back to liquid in order to purify, fractionate or form the desired products.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1: Description of Business and Presentation of Financial Statements

References herein to Holly Corporation include Holly Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries. In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s (“SEC”) “Plain English” guidelines, this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q has been written in the first person. In this document, the words “we”, “our”, “ours” and “us” refer only to Holly Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries or to Holly Corporation or an individual subsidiary and not to any other person.

     As of the close of business on June 30, 2006, we:

	•		owned and operated two refineries consisting of a petroleum refinery in Artesia, New Mexico that is operated in conjunction with crude oil distillation and vacuum distillation and other facilities situated 65 miles away in Lovington, New Mexico (collectively known as the “Navajo Refinery”), and a refinery in Woods Cross, Utah;
	•		owned approximately 800 miles of crude oil pipelines located principally in West Texas and New Mexico;
	•		owned 100% of NK Asphalt Partners which manufactures and markets asphalt products from various terminals in Arizona and New Mexico; and
	•		owned a 45.0% interest in Holly Energy Partners, L.P. (“HEP”), which owns logistic assets including approximately 1,600 miles of petroleum product pipelines located in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma (including 340 miles of leased pipeline); eleven refined product terminals; two refinery truck rack facilities, a refined products tank farm facility, and a 70% interest in Rio Grande Pipeline Company (“Rio Grande”).

On March 31, 2006 we sold our petroleum refinery in Great Falls, Montana (the “Montana Refinery”) to a subsidiary of Connacher Oil and Gas Limited (“Connacher”). Accordingly, the results of operations of the Montana Refinery and a gain of $14.0 million on the sale are shown in discontinued operations (see Note 2).

On July 8, 2005, we closed on a transaction for HEP to acquire our two 65-mile parallel intermediate feedstock pipelines which connect our Lovington and Artesia, New Mexico facilities. Under the provision of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46 (revised) (“FIN 46”) “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities,” we have deconsolidated HEP effective July 1, 2005. The deconsolidation is being presented from July 1, 2005 forward (see Note 3).

We have prepared these consolidated financial statements without audit. In management’s opinion, these consolidated financial statements include all normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of our consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2006, the consolidated results of operations and comprehensive income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 and consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Although certain notes and other information required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted, we believe that the disclosures in these consolidated financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 filed with the SEC.

We use the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) method of valuing inventory. An actual valuation of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end of each year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations are based on management’s estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs and are subject to the final year-end LIFO inventory valuation.

Our results of operations for the first six months of 2006 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. Certain reclassifications, which we determined to be immaterial, have been made to prior reported amounts to conform to current classifications. Due to the sale of the Montana Refinery, we reclassified certain amounts previously reported and now report such amounts as from discontinued operations. Also, as previously

HOLLY CORPORATION

reported, we adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 123 (revised) on July 1, 2005 based on modified retrospective application with early application under SFAS 123 (revised) to earlier quarters in 2005, resulting in a previously reported restatement to the financial statements for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2005.

Our operations are currently organized into one business division, Refining. The Refining business division includes the Navajo Refinery, Woods Cross Refinery and NK Asphalt Partners. We previously included the Montana Refinery in the Refining division, and the results from the Montana Refinery are now reported in discontinued operations. Prior to our deconsolidation of HEP on July 1, 2005 our operations were organized into two business divisions, which were Refining and HEP. Our operations that are not included in either the Refining or HEP (prior to its deconsolidation) business divisions include the operations of Holly Corporation, the parent company, a small-scale oil and gas exploration and production program, and prior to the deconsolidation of HEP, the elimination of the revenue and costs associated with HEP’s pipeline transportation services for us as well as the recognition of the minority interests’ income of HEP.

New Accounting Pronouncements

SFAS No. 151 “Inventory Costs, an amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4”
In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 151, “Inventory Costs, an Amendment of ARB No. 43, Chapter 4.” This amendment requires abnormal amounts of idle facility expense, freight, handling costs and wasted materials (spoilage) to be recognized as current-period charges. This standard also requires that the allocation of fixed production overhead to the cost of conversion be based on the normal capacity of the production facilities. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2005. We adopted the standard effective January 1, 2006. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

The Emerging Issues Task Force reached a consensus on Issue No. 04-13, “Accounting for Purchases and Sales of Inventory with the Same Counterparty,” and the FASB ratified it in September 2005. This standard addresses accounting matters that arise when one company both sells inventory to and buys inventory from another company in the same line of business, specifically, when it is appropriate to measure purchases and sales of inventory at fair value and record them in cost of sales and revenues and when purchases and sales should be recorded as an exchange measured at the book value of the item sold. The consensus in this standard is to be applied to new arrangements entered into in reporting periods beginning after March 15, 2006. We adopted this standard effective April 1, 2006 and no longer account for certain crude oil transactions on a net basis.

With respect to supplying crude oil to our refineries, crude oil is often purchased in locations distant from our refineries and exchanged for crude oil that is transportable to our refineries. These buy/sell exchanges are done in contemplation of one another and allow us to receive the optimal crude blend and quantities at our refineries. All of the crude oil buy/sell transactions done in supplying crude oil to our refineries are recorded as exchanges with the net differential reflected in costs of sales. We also purchase crude oil from producers and other petroleum companies in excess of the needs of our refineries for resale to other purchasers or users of crude oil. With respect to these resales that are in the form of buy/sell exchanges with the same counterparty, the net differential of the exchanges is reflected in cost of products sold. Additionally, certain direct sales of this excess crude oil are made to purchasers or users of crude oil. Under the new accounting guidance, these direct sales and related purchases starting April 1, 2006 are being measured at fair value and accounted for as revenues with the related acquisition costs included in cost of products sold. Prior to our adoption of EITF 04-13, sales and cost of sales attributable to such excess crude oil direct sales were netted and presented in cost of products sold. During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, these crude oil sales amounted to $131.3 million with a corresponding cost of $131.1 million, resulting in a gain on these transactions of $0.2 million.

NOTE 2: Discontinued Operations

On March 31, 2006 we sold the Montana Refinery to Connacher. The net cash proceeds we received on the sale of the Montana Refinery amounted to $48.9 million, net of transaction fees and expenses. Additionally we received 1,000,000 shares of Connacher common stock valued at approximately $4.3 million at March 31, 2006. In accounting for the sale, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $22.4 million. The Montana Refinery assets disposed of had a net book value at March 31, 2006 of $13.7 million for property, plant and equipment, $15.4 million for inventories and $2.0 million for other assets, with current liabilities assumed amounting to $0.3 million.

We retained certain quantities of finished product inventories that were not included in the sale to Connacher. These inventories were liquidated during the second quarter of 2006.

NOTE 3: Investment in Holly Energy Partners

HEP is a publicly held master limited partnership that commenced operations July 13, 2004 upon the completion of its initial public offering. We currently have a 45.0% ownership interest in HEP, including our 2% general partner interest.

HEP serves our refineries in New Mexico and Utah under a 15-year pipelines and terminals agreement (“HEP PTA”) expiring in 2019 and a 15-year intermediate pipeline agreement expiring in 2020 (“HEP IPA”). Under the HEP PTA, we pay HEP fees to transport on their refined product pipelines or throughput in their terminals a volume of refined products that will result in a minimum level of revenue to HEP of $36.7 million annually. Under the HEP IPA, we agreed to transport volumes of intermediate products on the intermediate pipelines that will result in a minimum level of revenues to HEP of approximately $11.8 million annually. Minimum revenues for both agreements will adjust upward based on increases in the producer price index over the term of the agreements. Additionally, we agreed to indemnify HEP up to an aggregate amount of $17.5 million for any environmental noncompliance and remediation liabilities associated with the assets transferred to HEP and occurring or existing prior to the date of the transfers of ownership to HEP. Of this total, indemnification in excess of $15 million relates solely to the intermediate pipelines.

On February 28, 2005, HEP closed its acquisition from Alon of four refined products pipelines, an associated tank farm and two refined products terminals. These pipelines and terminals are located primarily in Texas and transport approximately 70% of the light refined products for Alon’s refinery in Big Spring, Texas. The total consideration paid by HEP for these pipeline and terminal assets was $120 million in cash and 937,500 Class B subordinated units which, subject to certain conditions, will convert into an equal number of HEP common units five years after the acquisition date. Following the closing of this transaction, we owned 47.9% of HEP including the 2% general partner interest. HEP financed the Alon transaction through a private offering of $150 million principal amount of 6.25% senior notes due 2015 (“HEP Senior Notes”). HEP used the proceeds of the offering to fund the $120 million

HOLLY CORPORATION

cash portion of the consideration for the Alon transaction, and used the balance to repay $30 million of outstanding indebtedness under HEP’s credit agreement, including $5 million drawn shortly before the closing of the Alon transaction. The consideration paid for the Alon pipeline and terminal assets was allocated to the individual assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The aggregate consideration amounted to $146.6 million, which consisted of $24.7 million fair value of HEP’s Class B subordinated units, $120 million in cash and $1.9 million of transaction costs. In accounting for this acquisition, HEP recorded pipeline and terminal assets of $86.9 million and an intangible asset of $59.7 million, representing the value of the 15-year pipelines and terminals agreement.

On July 8, 2005, we closed on the transaction in which HEP acquired our two parallel intermediate feedstock pipelines which connect our Lovington and Artesia, New Mexico facilities (our revenue commitments on the intermediate pipelines are discussed above under the HEP IPA). The total consideration was $81.5 million, which consisted of approximately $77.7 million in cash, 70,000 common units of HEP and a capital account credit to maintain our existing general partner interest in HEP. HEP financed the approximately $77.7 million cash portion of the consideration for the intermediate pipelines with the proceeds raised from the private sale, which closed simultaneously with the acquisition, of 1.1 million of its common units for $45.1 million to a limited number of institutional investors and the offering, completed in June 2005, of an additional $35 million in principal amount of HEP Senior Notes. As a result of this transaction, our ownership interest in HEP was reduced to the current 45%, including the 2% general partner interest.

HEP is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) as defined under FIN 46, and following HEP’s acquisition of the intermediate feedstock pipelines, we have determined that our beneficial variable interest in HEP was less than 50%; therefore, as required by FIN 46, we deconsolidated HEP effective as of July 1, 2005. The deconsolidation was presented from July 1, 2005 forward, and our share of the earnings of HEP, including any incentive distributions paid through our general partner interest, is now reported using the equity method of accounting. HEP has risk associated with its operations. HEP has three major customers, of which we are one. If any of the customers fails to meet the desired shipping levels or terminates its contracts, HEP could suffer substantial losses unless a new customer is found. If HEP does suffer losses, we would recognize our percentage of those losses based on our ownership percentage in HEP at that time.

As of July 1, 2005, the impact of deconsolidation of HEP was an increase in the liability account of investments in HEP of $83.8 million, a decrease in property, plant and equipment of $157.8 million, a decrease in cash of $20.4 million, a decrease in other current assets of $3.6 million, a decrease in transportation agreements of $62.7 million, a decrease in other assets of $4.5 million, a decrease in minority interest of $179.5 million, a decrease in current liabilities of $3.9 million and a decrease in other long-term liabilities of $149.4 million.

The HEP Senior Notes are not recorded on our accompanying consolidated balance sheets due to the deconsolidation of HEP effective July 1, 2005. Navajo Pipeline Co., L.P., one of our subsidiaries, has agreed to indemnify HEP’s controlling partner to the extent it makes any payment in satisfaction of $35 million of the principal amount of the HEP Senior Notes.

We hold 7,000,000 subordinated units and 70,000 common units of HEP as of June 30, 2006. Our rights as holder of subordinated units to receive distributions of cash from HEP are subordinated to the rights of the common unitholders to receive such distributions.

In addition to the intermediate feedstock pipelines acquired by HEP in July 2005, we contributed all of the initial assets of HEP. As these transactions were among entities under common control, the assets were recorded at historical cost by HEP and we did not recognize a gain on the initial contribution or the intermediate pipelines transaction. The intermediate pipelines transaction resulted in a payment to us from HEP of $71.9 million in excess of our historical basis. Since the historical basis was less than the cash received on the transactions, our investment in HEP is a negative investment. The investment balance was eliminated in consolidation until the deconsolidation of HEP on July 1, 2005.

The following table sets forth the changes in our investment account balance with HEP for the six months ended June 30, 2006:

			$0.5 million and zero were included in our distributions for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.
	•		We had a net payable to HEP of $3.3 million and $3.6 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively.

NOTE 4: Earnings Per Share

Basic income per share is calculated as net income divided by average number of shares of common stock outstanding. Diluted income per share assumes, when dilutive, issuance of the net incremental shares from stock options and variable performance shares. The average number of shares of common stock and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split effective June 1, 2006. The following is a reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted per share computations of income:

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,

NOTE 5: Stock-Based Compensation

On June 30, 2006 we had three principal share-based compensation plans, which are described below. The compensation cost that has been charged against income for these plans was $10.8 million and $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the income statements for share-based compensation arrangements was $4.2 million and $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively. It is currently our practice to issue new shares for settlement of option exercises, restricted stock grants or performance share units settled in stock. Our current accounting policy for the recognition of compensation expense for awards with pro-rata vesting (substantially all of our awards) is to expense the costs pro-rata over the vesting periods, which results in a higher expense in the earlier periods of the grants. At June 30, 2006, 2,639,796 shares of common stock were reserved for future grants under the current long-term incentive compensation plan, which reservation allows for awards of options, restricted stock, or other performance awards.

Previously awarded stock options and all other compensation arrangements based on the market value of our common stock have been adjusted to reflect the two-for-one stock split effective June 1, 2006.

Stock Options

Under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan and a previous stock option plan, we have granted stock options to certain officers and other key employees. All the options have been granted at prices equal to the market value of the shares at the time of the grant and normally expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. These awards generally vest 20% at the end of each of the five years after the grant date. There have been no options granted since December 2001. The fair value on the date of grant of each option awarded was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, was $23.2 million and $13.2 million, respectively.

A summary of the status of our nonvested options as of June 30, 2006 and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2006, is presented below:

						Weighted-

Vested			(368,800	)		$	0.91
Forfeited			—				—
Nonvested at June 30, 2006			40,000			$	1.99

As of June 30, 2006, there was $38,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to the stock options granted. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of three months. The total fair value of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, was $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Cash received from option exercises under the stock option plans for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, was $2.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from option exercises under the stock option plans totaled $8.9 million and $5.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

Restricted Stock

Under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, we grant certain officers, other key employees and outside directors restricted stock awards with vesting generally over a period of one to five years. Although ownership of the shares does not transfer to the recipients until the shares vest, recipients have dividend rights on these shares from the date of grant. The vesting for certain key executives is contingent upon certain earnings per share targets being realized. The fair value of each share of restricted stock awarded, including the shares issued to the key executives, was measured based on the market price as of the date of grant and is being amortized over the vesting periods, as we assume all restricted shares will fully vest.

HOLLY CORPORATION

A summary of restricted stock grant activity as of June 30, 2006, and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2006 is presented below:

						Weighted–
						Average
						Grant-Date				Aggregate Intrinsic
Restricted Stock		Grants				Fair Value				Value ($000)
Outstanding at January 1, 2006 (not vested)			545,808			$	9.85
Vesting and transfer of ownership to recipients			(148,900	)		$	6.82
Granted			102,998			$	32.38

Outstanding at June 30, 2006 (not vested)			494,922			$	15.55			$	23,855

The total intrinsic value of restricted stock vested and transferred to recipients during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 was $5.5 million and $2.5 million, respectively. As of June 30, 2006, there was $4.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested restricted stock grants. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the six months ended June 30, 2006 was $1.0 million.

Performance Share Units

Under our Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, we grant certain officers and other key employees performance share units, some of which are payable in cash and some are payable in stock upon meeting certain criteria over the service period, and generally vest over a period of one to three years.

During the 2006 first quarter, certain grantees agreed to amend their outstanding performance share units to provide for the settlement in the form of our common stock instead of cash. The performance criteria of both the amended performance share units and the original performance share units not amended are based upon our share price and upon our total shareholder return during the requisite period as compared to the total shareholder return of our peer group of refining companies (referred to as “market performance” criteria). In addition, during the 2006 first quarter, we granted new performance share units that will be settled in our common stock based on certain measurements of our financial performance as compared to a select peer group of companies (referred to as “financial performance” criteria).

The fair value of each performance share unit award payable in cash is being revalued quarterly based on our valuation model and the corresponding expense is being amortized over the vesting periods. The fair value of each performance share unit award settled in stock is determined at the grant date (or the amendment date in the case of our amended agreements) and the corresponding expense is being amortized over the vesting periods.

The fair value of each performance share unit award based on financial performance criteria was measured based on the grant date stock price at February 16, 2006 of $29.50 (adjusted for two-for-one stock split) and will apply to the number of shares ultimately issued for each award. The number of shares ultimately issued for each award will be based on our financial performance as compared to peer group companies and can range from zero to 200% of the number of performance share units issued. We currently have estimated the final payout of shares at 150%.

The fair value of each performance share unit award based on market performance criteria is done on an expected-cash-flow approach. The analysis utilizes the current stock price, dividend yield, historical total returns as of the measurement date, expected total returns based on a capital asset pricing model methodology, standard deviation of historical returns and comparison of expected total returns with the peer group. The expected total return and historical standard deviation are applied to a lognormal expected return distribution in a Monte Carlo simulation model to identify the expected range of potential returns and probabilities of expected returns.

For the six months ended June 30, 2006, this valuation analysis was performed for the performance share units with market based performance on the date of conversion, February 10, 2006, and at the end of the six months, June 30, 2006.

HOLLY CORPORATION

At February 10, 2006, the price of our stock was $31.96 (adjusted for two-for-one stock split), the latest quarterly dividend was $0.05 (adjusted for two-for-one stock split), and the risk-free rates ranged from 4.68% to 4.70%, depending on the remaining performance period. The inputs affecting the range of expected total returns for us and the peer group are based on a capital asset pricing model utilizing information available at each measurement date. The monthly standard deviation of returns is based on the standard deviation of historical return information. The range of expected returns and standard deviation is presented below:

						Standard
Company		Expected Return on Equity				Deviation (Monthly)
Holly			12.25	%		10.9% to 12.1%
Peer group		10.0% to 13.5%				7.9% to 16.0%

At June 30, 2006, the price of our stock was $48.02, the latest quarterly dividend was $0.08, and the risk-free rates ranged from 4.38% to 5.22%, depending on the remaining performance period. The inputs affecting the range of expected total returns for us and the peer group are based on a capital asset pricing model utilizing information available at each measurement date. The monthly standard deviation of returns is based on the standard deviation of historical return information. The range of expected returns and standard deviation is presented below:

There was no cash paid during the six months ended June 30, 2006 related to vested performance share units, while $6.3 million was paid during the six months ended June 30, 2005 related to vested performance share units. As of June 30, 2006, the cash liability associated with these awards was $12.3 million and is recorded in accrued liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. Based on the weighted average fair value at June 30, 2006 of $58.01, there was $9.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested performance share units. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.

NOTE 6: Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments in Marketable Securities

Our investment portfolio consists of cash, cash equivalents, and investments in debt securities primarily issued by government entities. In addition, as part of the sale of the Montana Refinery, we received 1,000,000 shares of Connacher common stock.

HOLLY CORPORATION

We invest in highly-rated marketable debt securities primarily issued by government entities that have maturities at the date of purchase of greater than three months. These securities include investments in variable rate demand notes (“VRDN”) and auction rate securities (“ARS”). Although VRDN and ARS may have long-term stated maturities, generally 15 to 30 years, we have designated these securities as available-for-sale and have classified them as current because we view them as available to support our current operations. Rates on VRDN are typically reset either daily or weekly. Rates on ARS are reset through a Dutch auction process at intervals between 35 and 90 days, depending on the terms of the security. VRDN and ARS may be liquidated at par on the rate reset date. We also invest in other marketable debt securities with the maximum maturity of any individual issue not greater than two years from the date of purchase. All of these instruments are classified as available-for-sale, and as a result, are reported at fair value. Unrealized gains and losses, net of related income taxes, are temporary and reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

The following is a summary of our available-for-sale securities at June 30, 2006:

		Available-for-Sale Securities
										Estimated
						Gross				Fair Value
						Unrealized				(Net Carrying
		Amortized Cost				Losses				Amount)
		(In thousands)
States and political subdivisions		$	111,521			$	(234	)		$	111,287
Equity securities			4,328				(468	)			3,860
Total marketable securities		$	115,849			$	(702	)		$	115,147

During the six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, we recognized $10,000 in gains related to 152 sales and maturities and $2.2 million in gains related to 57 sales and maturities respectively, in which we received $198.0 million and $82.8 million in proceeds, respectively. The realized gains and losses represent the difference between the purchase price and market value on the maturity or sales dates.

NOTE 7: Investments in Joint Ventures

Prior to February 2005, NK Asphalt Partners was owned 49% by us and 51% by a subsidiary of Koch Materials Company (“Koch”), and did business under the name “Koch Asphalt Solutions – Southwest.” We accounted for this investment using the equity method. In February 2005, we purchased the 51% interest in NK Asphalt Partners owned by Koch for $16.9 million plus working capital. This purchase increased our ownership in NK Asphalt Partners from 49% to 100% and eliminated any further obligations we had with respect to additional contributions under the joint venture agreement. The partnership manufactures and markets asphalt and asphalt products from various terminals in Arizona and New Mexico and now does business under the name “Holly Asphalt Company.” From the date of acquisition of the additional 51%, we have consolidated the results of NK Asphalt Partners in our consolidated financial statements. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The purchase price was allocated to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The total purchase consideration for the 51% interest, including expenses, was $21.8 million, less cash of $3.4 million which was recorded due to the consolidation of NK Asphalt Partners at the time of the 51% acquisition. In addition to the cash, at the date of the acquisition, we recorded current assets of $11.7 million, net property, plant and equipment of $20.4 million, intangible assets of $5.2 million, goodwill of $1.0 million, and current liabilities of $8.5 million and eliminated our equity investment. Sales to the joint venture during 2005, prior to the acquisition, were $3.9 million.

Prior to February 28, 2005, we had a 49% interest in MRC Hi-Noon LLC, a joint venture operating retail service stations and convenience stores in Montana, and we accounted for our share of earnings from the joint venture using the equity method. At December 31, 2004, we had a reserve balance of approximately $0.8 million related to the collectability of advances to the joint venture and related accrued interest. On February 28, 2005, we sold our 49% interest to our joint venture partner and agreed to accept partial payment on the advances we previously made to the joint venture. In connection with this transaction, we received $0.8 million, which resulted in a book gain to us of $0.5 million.

NOTE 8: Environmental

Consistent with our accounting policy for environmental remediation and cleanup costs, we expensed $3.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2006 and $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2005 for environmental remediation and cleanup obligations. The accrued environmental liability reflected in the consolidated balance sheets was $6.0 million and $3.1 million at June 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005, respectively, of which $4.8 million and $2.0 million was classified as other long-term liabilities, respectively. Costs of future expenditures for environmental remediation are not discounted to their present value.

NOTE 9: Debt

Credit Facility

We have a $175 million secured revolving credit facility with Bank of America as administrative agent and lender, with a term of four years and an option to increase the facility to $225 million subject to certain conditions. This credit facility expires in 2008 and may be used to fund working capital requirements, capital expenditures, acquisitions or other general corporate purposes. We were in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2006. At June 30, 2006, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $2.3 million, and no outstanding borrowings under our credit facility. At that level of usage, the unused commitment under our credit facility was $172.7 million at June 30, 2006.

NOTE 10: Income taxes

The effective tax rate for continuing operations for the first six months of 2006 was 35.6%, as compared to 37.8% for the first six months of 2005. The reduction in the effective tax rate was principally due to income tax credits available to small business refiners incurring costs to produce ultra low sulfur diesel fuel.

NOTE 11: Stockholders’ Equity

Two-For-One Stock Split: On May 11, 2006, we announced that our Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split payable in the form of a stock dividend of one share of common stock for each issued and outstanding share of common stock. The stock dividend was paid on June 1, 2006 to all holders of record of common stock at the close of business on May 22, 2006. All references to the number of shares of common stock (other than authorized shares and other than issued shares and treasury shares at December 31, 2005 shown on our Consolidated Balance Sheets) and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the split on a retrospective basis.

Common Stock Repurchases: On November 7, 2005, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of our common stock. Repurchases are being made from time to time in the open market or privately negotiated transactions based on market conditions, securities law limitations and other factors. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we repurchased under this repurchase initiative 2,675,653 shares at a cost of approximately $90.9 million (of which $3.0 million of the cash settlement was after June 30, 2006) or an average of $33.99 per share. Since inception of this repurchase initiative through June 30, 2006, we have repurchased 3,663,253 shares at a cost of approximately $120.9 million or an average of $33.00 per share.

HOLLY CORPORATION

On May 19, 2005, we announced that our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $100.0 million of our common stock. Repurchases were made from time to time in the open market or privately negotiated transactions based on market conditions, securities law limitations and other factors. During 2005, we repurchased 4,062,414 shares at a cost of approximately $100.0 million or an average of $24.62 per share under this repurchase initiative. This program was completed in October 2005.

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we repurchased at current market price from certain executives 46,388 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $1.4 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2005, we repurchased at current market price from certain executives 49,580 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $0.8 million. These repurchases were made under the terms of restricted stock agreements to provide funds for the payment of payroll and income taxes due at the vesting of restricted shares in the case of executives who did not elect to satisfy such taxes by other means.

NOTE 13: Retirement Plan

We have a non-contributory defined benefit retirement plan that covers substantially all employees. Our policy is to make contributions annually of not less than the minimum funding requirements under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. Benefits are based on the employees’ years of service and compensation.

HOLLY CORPORATION

The net periodic pension expense consisted of the following components:

		Three Months Ended								Six Months Ended
		June 30,								June 30,
		2006				2005				2006				2005
						(In thousands)
Service cost		$	1,179			$	776			$	2,226			$	1,723

Net periodic benefit cost		$	2,025			$	1,199			$	3,616			$	2,638

The expected long-term annual rate of return on plan assets is 8.5%. This rate was used in measuring 2006 and 2005 net periodic benefit cost. We expect to contribute between $10.0 million and $13.0 million to the retirement plan in the third quarter of 2006.

NOTE 14: Contingencies

We have pending proceedings in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit with respect to rulings by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) in proceedings brought by us and other parties against Kinder Morgan’s SFPP, L.P. (“SFPP”). These proceedings relate to tariffs of common carrier pipelines, which are owned and operated by SFPP, for shipments of refined products from El Paso, Texas to Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona and from points in California to points in Arizona. We are one of several refiners that regularly utilize an SFPP pipeline to ship refined products from El Paso, Texas to Tucson and Phoenix, Arizona. Rulings by the FERC relating principally to the period from 1993 through July 2000 resulted in reparations payments from SFPP to us in 2003 totaling approximately $15.3 million. In 2004 the appeals court issued its opinion relating principally to the period from 1993 through July 2000, ruling in favor of our positions on most of the disputed issues that concern us, and remanded the case to the FERC for additional consideration of several issues, some of which are involved in our claims. In May 2005, the FERC issued a general policy statement on an issue concerning the treatment of income taxes in the calculation of allowable rates for pipelines operated by partnerships. The FERC in a later order applied this general policy statement to SFPP and such application is contrary to our position in this case. We and certain other refining companies have pending before the court of appeals petitions challenging the FERC policy on income taxes, decisions by the FERC in 2005 and early 2006 on certain of the remanded issues, and rulings by the FERC on some issues relating to periods after July 2000. In March 2006, SFPP submitted computations asserted to be based on the most recent determinations of the FERC in the case. In April 2006, we filed a protest and comments concerning a number of elements of these computations. One element of the computations, which is based on the FERC’s disputed 2005 policy on treatment of income taxes, would if ultimately sustained result in a requirement for us to repay to SFPP approximately $3 million of the $15.3 million reparations amount received by us from SFPP in 2003. Because proceedings in the FERC on remand have not been completed and our petitions for review to the court of appeals with respect to the FERC’s orders are pending, it is not possible to determine whether the amount of reparations actually due to us for the period from 1993 through July 2000 will be found to be less than or more than the $15.3 million we received in 2003. Although it is not possible at the date of this report to predict the final outcome of these proceedings, we believe that future proceedings are not likely to result in an obligation for us to repay more than the amount now asserted in SFPP’s most recent computations (approximately $3 million) and that the more likely final result would be either a smaller repayment by us than is now asserted by SFPP or a payment to us of additional reparations. The ultimate amount of reparations payable to us will be determined only after further proceedings in the FERC on issues that have not been finally determined by the FERC, further proceedings in the appeals court with respect to determinations by the FERC, and possibly future petitions by one or more of the parties seeking United States Supreme Court review of issues in the case.

HOLLY CORPORATION

In discussions beginning in the last half of 2005, the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) and the State of Utah have asserted that we have liabilities relating to the Federal Clean Air Act at our Woods Cross Refinery because of actions taken or not taken by prior owners of the Woods Cross Refinery, which we purchased from ConocoPhillips in June 2003. We have tentatively agreed with the EPA and the State of Utah to settle the issues presented by means of an agreement similar to the 2001 Consent Agreement we entered into for our Navajo and Montana refineries. The tentative settlement agreement, which has not yet been put into a final written agreement, includes proposed obligations for us to make specified additional capital investments expected to total up to approximately $10 million over several years and to make changes in operating procedures at the refinery. The agreements for the purchase of the Woods Cross Refinery provide that ConocoPhillips will indemnify us, subject to specified limitations, for environmental claims arising from circumstances prior to our purchase of the refinery. We believe that, in the present circumstances, the amount due to us from ConocoPhillips under the agreements for the purchase of the Woods Cross Refinery would be approximately $1.4 million with respect to the tentative settlement.

We are a party to various other litigation and proceedings not mentioned in this report which we believe, based on advice of counsel, will not have a materially adverse impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 15: Segment Information

Our operations are currently organized into one business division, Refining. The Refining business division includes the Navajo Refinery, Woods Cross Refinery and NK Asphalt Partners. Our operations that are not included in the Refining business division include the operations of Holly Corporation, the parent company, and a small-scale oil and gas exploration and production program. Although we previously included the Montana Refinery in the Refining division, the results from the Montana Refinery are now reported in discontinued operations and are not included in the table below.

Prior to our deconsolidation of HEP effective July 1, 2005, our operations were organized into two business divisions, which were Refining and HEP. These segments have been in effect since July 13, 2004, the closing of the initial public offering of HEP. Our operations that were not included in either the Refining or HEP business divisions included the operations of Holly Corporation, the parent company, a small-scale oil and gas exploration and production program and the elimination of the revenue and costs associated with HEP’s pipeline transportation services for us.

The Refining segment involves the purchase and refining of crude oil and wholesale and branded marketing of refined products, such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel, and includes our Navajo Refinery and Woods Cross Refinery. The petroleum products produced by the Refining segment are marketed in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Washington and northern Mexico. The Refining segment also includes certain crude oil pipelines that we own and operate in conjunction with our refining operations as part of the supply networks of the refineries. The Refining segment also includes the equity in earnings from our 49% interest in NK Asphalt Partners prior to February 2005. In February 2005, we acquired the remaining 51% interest in the asphalt joint venture from the other partner; subsequent to the purchase, we include the operations of NK Asphalt Partners in our consolidated financial statements. NK Asphalt Partners, dba Holly Asphalt Company, manufactures and markets asphalt and asphalt products in Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and California. The cost of pipeline transportation and terminal services provided by HEP to us is also included in the Refining segment. The HEP segment involved all of the operations of HEP through June 30, 2005 (prior to the deconsolidation), including approximately 1,300 miles (780 miles prior to the Alon asset acquisition) of pipeline assets principally in Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma and refined product terminals in several Southwest and Rocky Mountain states. The HEP segment also included a 70% interest in Rio Grande Pipeline Company (“Rio Grande”), which provides petroleum products transportation. Revenues from the HEP segment were earned through transactions with unaffiliated parties for pipeline transportation, rental and terminalling operations as well as revenues relating to pipeline transportation services provided for our refining operations and from HEP’s interest in Rio Grande. Our operations not included in the reportable segment or segments were included in Corporate and Other, which included costs of Holly Corporation,

HOLLY CORPORATION

the parent company, consisting primarily of general and administrative expenses as well as a small-scale oil and gas exploration and production program. The consolidations and eliminations column included the elimination of the revenue and costs associated with HEP’s pipeline transportation services for us. These items are no longer included after the deconsolidation of HEP effective July 1, 2005.

The accounting policies for the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005. Our reportable segments prior to July 1, 2005 were strategic business units that offered different products and services.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Item 2 contains “forward-looking” statements. See “Forward-Looking Statements” at the beginning of Part I of this quarterly report of Form 10-Q. In this document, the words “we”, “our” and “us” refer only to Holly Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries or to Holly Corporation or an individual subsidiary and not to any other person.

OVERVIEW

We are principally an independent petroleum refiner operating two refineries in Artesia and Lovington, New Mexico (operated as one refinery) and Woods Cross, Utah. Our profitability depends largely on the spread between market prices for refined petroleum products and crude oil prices. At June 30, 2006, we also owned a 45% interest in HEP, which owns and operates pipeline and terminalling assets and owns a 70% interest in Rio Grande.

Our principal source of revenue is from the sale of high value light products such as gasoline, diesel fuel and jet fuel in markets in the southwestern and western United States. Additionally, starting April 1, 2006, we began recording direct sales of crude oil as revenues with the related acquisition costs included in cost of products, as required by recent accounting guidance (see” New Accounting Pronouncements” under “Critical Account Policies” below for additional discussion on this new accounting guidance). Prior to April 1, 2006, sales and cost of sales attributable to such crude oil direct sales were netted and presented in cost of products sold. During the quarter ended June 30, 2006, these crude oil sales amounted to $131.3 million with a corresponding cost of $131.1 million, resulting in a gain on these transactions of $0.2 million. Our total sales and other revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $1,120.8 million and our net income for the three months ended June 30, 2006 was $93.1 million. Our sales and other revenues and net income for the three months ended June 30, 2005 were $728.7 million and $52.4 million, respectively. Our principal expenses are costs of products sold and operating expenses. Our total operating costs and expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2006 were $986.6 million, an increase from $643.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005.

On May 11, 2006, we announced that our Board of Directors had approved a two-for-one stock split payable in the form of a stock dividend of one share of common stock for each issued and outstanding share of common stock. The stock dividend was paid on June 1, 2006 to all holders of record of common stock at the close of business on May 22, 2006. All references to the number of shares of common stock (other than authorized shares and other than issued shares and treasury shares at December 31, 2005 shown on our Consolidated Balance Sheets) and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the split on a retrospective basis.

On March 31, 2006 we sold our petroleum refinery in Great Falls, Montana (the “Montana Refinery”) to a subsidiary of Connacher Oil and Gas Limited (“Connacher”). The net cash proceeds we received on the sale of the Montana Refinery amounted to $48.9 million, net of transaction fees and expenses. Additionally we received 1,000,000 shares of Connacher common stock valued at approximately $4.3 million at March 31, 2006. We have presented in discontinued operations the results of operations and a gain of $14.0 million on the sale.

On November 7, 2005, we announced that our Board of Directors had authorized the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of our common stock. Repurchases are being made from time to time in the open market or privately negotiated transactions based on market conditions, securities law limitations and other factors. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we repurchased under this repurchase initiative 2,675,653 shares at a cost of approximately $90.9 million (of which $3.0 million of the cash settlement was after June 30, 2006) or an average of $33.99 per share. Since inception of this repurchase initiative through June 30, 2006, we have repurchased 3,663,253 shares at a cost of approximately $120.9 million or an average of $33.00 per share.
