PETRO FINANCIAL CORPORATION
NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED 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 12½% Senior Notes due 2002 (the “12½% Notes”) and 100,000 exchangeable Debt Warrants (the “Debt Warrants”). The 12½% Notes and Debt Warrants were recorded on the financial statements of PSC. In January 1997, PSC and the Company, as co-obligors, issued $135.0 million 10½% Senior Notes due 2007 (the “10½% Notes”) and made a tender offer for all of, and repurchased approximately 94.0% of the 12½% Notes and approximately 100% of the Debt Warrants. On June 3, 2002, all of the outstanding 12½% Notes matured and were retired for $6.2 million plus outstanding interest. The 10½% Notes were recorded on the financial statements of PSC.
On July 23, 1999, PSC consummated several transactions collectively referred to as the 1999 Recapitalization. Among other things, Petro Stopping Centers Holdings, L.P. (the “Holding Partnership”) was created as a holding company, and PSC and the Company became subsidiaries of the Holding Partnership. The 1999 Recapitalization had no effect on the recorded amounts of the Company’s assets and stockholder’s equity accounts.
On February 9, 2004, PSC and the Company, as co-obligors, completed a series of transactions referred to as the 2004 Refinancing Transactions, in which PSC refinanced substantially all of its existing indebtedness and the indebtedness of the Holding Partnership. The 2004 Refinancing Transactions consisted of the following components:
| • | PSC and the Company, as co-obligors, issued $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.0% senior secured notes due 2012 (the “9% Notes”); |
| • | The repurchase of the majority of the outstanding 10½% Notes; |
| • | PSC entering into new senior secured credit facilities of an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million, consisting of a three year revolving credit facility of $25.0 million and a four year term loan facility of $25.0 million; |
| • | The repayment and retirement of PSC’s retired senior secured credit facilities of approximately $40.8 million, plus accrued interest; |
| • | The repurchase for cash of approximately 54.8% of the Holding Partnership’s 15.0% senior discount notes due 2008 (the “Holding Partnership’s 15% Notes”) and the exchange of approximately 42.2% of the Holding Partnership’s 15% Notes for new senior third secured discount notes; |
| • | The extension by the Holding Partnership of the mandatory purchase date of the warrants issued in July 1999 by Petro Warrant Holdings Corporation from August 1, 2004 to October 1, 2009; and |
| • | The reduction of PSC’s trade credit balance with Exxon Mobil Corporation. |
The 9% Notes are recorded on the financial statements of PSC.
On March 12, 2004, PSC repurchased all of its remaining 10½% Notes.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED BALANCE SHEETS
On July 19, 2004, PSC and the guarantors of the 9% Notes completed the exchange of substantially all of the unregistered 9% Notes for 9% Notes that were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, thereby satisfying their obligations to register the 9% Notes.
(2) 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 or statement of cash flows. The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 Company’s balance sheets and notes thereto in the Annual Report of Petro Financial Corporation on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003 (“2003 Form 10-K”). Capitalized terms used in this report and not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the 2003 Form 10-K. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004.
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
On February 9, 2004, we as co-obligors, and Petro Stopping Centers, L.P. (“PSC”) completed a series of transactions referred to as the 2004 Refinancing Transactions, in which PSC refinanced substantially all of its existing indebtedness and the indebtedness of our parent, Petro Stopping Centers Holdings, L.P. (the “Holding Partnership”). The 2004 Refinancing Transactions consisted of the following components:
| • | We as co-obligors, and PSC issued $225.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9.0% senior secured notes due 2012 (the “9% Notes”); |
| • | The repurchase of the majority of the outstanding 10½% senior notes due 2007; |
| • | PSC entering into new senior secured credit facilities of an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million, consisting of a three year revolving credit facility of $25.0 million and a four year term loan facility of $25.0 million; |
| • | The repayment and retirement of PSC’s retired senior secured credit facilities of approximately $40.8 million, plus accrued interest; |
| • | The repurchase for cash of approximately 54.8% of the Holding Partnership’s 15.0% senior discount notes due 2008 (the “Holding Partnership’s 15% Notes”) and the exchange of approximately 42.2% of the Holding Partnership’s 15% Notes for new senior third secured discount notes; |
| • | The extension by the Holding Partnership of the mandatory purchase date of the warrants issued in July 1999 by Petro Warrant Holdings Corporation from August 1, 2004 to October 1, 2009; and |
| • | The reduction of PSC’s trade credit balance with Exxon Mobil Corporation. |
The 9% Notes are recorded on the financial statements of PSC.
On March 12, 2004, PSC repurchased all of its remaining 10½% Notes.
On July 19, 2004, PSC and the guarantors of the 9% Notes completed the exchange of substantially all of the unregistered 9% Notes for 9% Notes that were registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, thereby satisfying their obligations to register the 9% Notes.
We have no employees, only nominal assets, have not and will not conduct any operations and, accordingly, have no statement of operations or statement of cash flows. Our balance sheets are unaudited. In the opinion of our management, the accompanying unaudited condensed balance sheets contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position at December 31, 2003 and September 30, 2004.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
None
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As we have no employees, only minimal assets and conduct no operations, we have only rudimentary disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon an evaluation of these controls and procedures as of September 30, 2004, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded they are effective at a reasonable assurance level in light of our lack of operations.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15,
4
during the quarterly period covered by this report, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
