The Houston company said its board of directors had accepted the resignation of Burke, "effective immediately." Burke, 56, is leaving the company "to focus on emerging investment and business opportunities," the company said in a written statement. The partnership has lost money the last three years in a row but it was profitable in the first quarter of this year with a net income of $2.2 million. Burke's resignation came just days after the pipeline partnership revised its first-quarter net income upward by $100,000. The revisions were made as a result of a review of the company's computerized marketing and accounting system, the company said. In a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company said the computer problems resulted in "unexplained variances in financial results reported by the system." Stanley Horton, chairman of EOTT , will assume the duties of chief executive officer. Dana Gibbs, currently executive vice president and chief commercial officer, will become president and chief operating officer of EOTT . Horton and Gibbs will comprise the office of the chairman for EOTT .
