PETRO FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED BALANCE SHEETS
(1) Company Formation and Description of Business
Company Formation
Petro Financial Corporation (the "Company") is a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Petro Stopping Centers, L.P. ("PSC") and was incorporated in February 1994 for
the sole purpose of acting as a co-obligor with PSC in the issuance of 100,000
units consisting of $100.0 million 12.5% Senior Notes due 2002 (the "Notes") and
100,000 exchangeable Debt Warrants (the "Warrants"). The Notes and Warrants were
recorded on the financial statements of PSC. In January 1997, PSC and the
Company, as co-obligors, issued $135.0 million 10.5% Senior Notes due 2007 (the
"10.5% Notes") and made a tender offer for all of, and repurchased approximately
94.0% of the Notes and approximately 100% of the Warrants. On June 3, 2002 PSC
repurchased and retired all of the outstanding Notes for $6.2 million plus
accrued interest. The 10.5% Notes are recorded on the financial statements of
PSC. The Company has no employees and does not conduct any operations.
On July 23, 1999, PSC consummated several transactions collectively
referred to as the Recapitalization. Among other things, Petro Stopping Centers
Holdings, L.P. ("Holdings") was created as a holding company, and PSC and the
Company became subsidiaries of Holdings. The Recapitalization had no effect on
the recorded amounts of the Company's assets and stockholder's equity accounts.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company has no employees, only nominal assets, has not and will not
conduct any operations and, accordingly, has no statement of operations. The
accompanying unaudited balance sheets have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, certain financial information has been
condensed and certain footnote disclosures have been omitted. Such information
and disclosures are normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
The unaudited condensed balance sheets should be read in conjunction with
the balance sheets and notes thereto in the Annual Report of Petro Financial
Corporation on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 ("2001 Form
10-K"). Capitalized terms used in this report and not defined herein have the
meaning ascribed to such terms in the 2001 Form 10-K. In the opinion of
management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited balance sheets contain all
adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at
December 31, 2001 and September 30, 2002.
The Company meets the requirements of an Inactive Registrant as defined by
Rule 3-11 of the Securities and Exchange Commission's Regulation S-X (the
"Rule"). The Rule stipulates that if a registrant is inactive, the financial
statements required for purposes of reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 may be unaudited.
2
Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations
The Company is inactive and, accordingly, it has no operations
and only minimal assets.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
None
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As the Company has no employees, only minimal assets and
conducts no operations, it has only rudimentary disclosure controls
and procedures. Based upon an evaluation of these controls and
procedures as of a date within 90 days of the date of this report, our
principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded
they are effective in light of the nature of the Company and its lack
of operations. There have been no significant changes in our internal
controls or in other factors that could significantly affect internal
controls subsequent to the date of our evaluation.

Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K
