PETRO HOLDINGS FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED BALANCE SHEETS

(1) Company Formation and Description of Business

Company Formation

Petro Holdings Financial Corporation (the "Company") is a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Petro Stopping Centers Holdings, L.P. ("Holdings") and was
incorporated July 6, 1999 for the sole purpose of serving as a co-issuer with
Holdings in the issuance of 82,707 units each consisting of $1,000 principal
amount at stated maturity of Holdings 15.0% senior discount notes due 2008 ("15%
Notes") and 82,707 exchangeable Petro Warrant Holdings Corporation's warrants
(the "Warrants"). The Supplemental Indenture dated July 23, 1999 ("Indenture")
provides that upon an "exchange event," such as a change in control, public
offering, or bankruptcy filing, the Warrants will be exchanged, for no
additional consideration, for 100% of the common stock of Petro Warrant Holdings
Corporation, whose sole asset currently is approximately 10.0% of the common
limited partnership interests in Holdings. If the Warrants have not been
exchanged by August 1, 2004, Holdings will be obligated to repurchase the
Warrants at fair market value. At the same time the Company co-issued the 15%
Notes and the Warrants, the Company also co-issued with Holdings, notes to
Chartwell Investments, Inc. of approximately $14.8 million in accreted value
($11.2 million net of an imputed market rate of interest discount), without
warrants. The 15% Notes and the notes issued to Chartwell Investments, Inc. are
recorded on the financial statements of Holdings.

(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 Holdings
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.

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.


PART II. Other Information

Item 6. Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K
