Item 8.01 Other Events.
     This Current Report on Form 8-K revises portions of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006 of Calumet Specialty Products Partners, L.P. (the “Company”) (the “2006 Form 10-K”) to reflect the retrospective application of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Staff Position (“FSP”) AUG AIR-1, Accounting for Planned Major Maintenance Activities, which the Company adopted on January 1, 2007. The FSP prohibits the use of the accrue-in-advance method of accounting for planned major maintenance activities, or turnarounds, and requires the use of the direct expensing method, built-in overhaul method, or deferral method.
     Upon adoption, the Company elected the deferral method and was required to retrospectively apply the FSP’s provisions for all financial statements presented. Under this method, actual costs are capitalized and amortized to cost of sales until the next overhaul date. Prior to the adoption of the FSP, the Company accrued for such overhaul costs in advance of the turnaround and recorded the expense to cost of sales. The result of the adoption of the FSP was a cumulative effect on partners’ capital as of December 31, 2006. The cumulative effect was a net increase of $6.6 million as a result of the capitalization of turnaround costs of $1.5 million and the reversal of turnaround liabilities of $5.1 million. Further, the adoption of the FSP resulted in a net decrease (increase) in turnaround costs, a component of cost of sales, of $1.7 million, $1.6 million and $(0.7) million for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
     The exhibits included under 9.01 of this Current Report on 8-K revise the following sections of the 2006 Form 10-K:
    Part II, Item 6, Selected Financial and Operating Data
 
    Part II, Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
