PETRO STOPPING CENTERS, L.P.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



(1) Basis of Presentation



The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements, which include the accounts of Petro Stopping Centers, L.P. and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, Petro Financial Corporation and Petro Distributing, Inc. (the Company), 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 U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.



These unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in the Amended Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004 (2004 Form 10-K/A). Capitalized terms used in this report and not
defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the 2004 Form 10-K/A. In the opinion of management of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly
the consolidated condensed financial position of the Company at December 31, 2004 (as restated) and June 30, 2005, the consolidated condensed results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 (as restated) and 2005, the changes
in partners deficit for the six months ended June 30, 2005, and the consolidated condensed cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 (as restated) and 2005. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are
not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full calendar year.



The Companys fuel revenues and related cost of sales include a significant amount of federal and state motor fuel taxes. Such taxes were $65.3 million and $74.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004
and 2005, respectively, and $129.7 million and $140.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively.



Reclassifications



Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.



(2) Restatement of Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements



Restatement  Accounting for leases



Following a review of its accounting policies, the Company determined
that it had incorrectly calculated its depreciation expenses on certain leasehold improvements and misclassified a capital lease as an operating lease. As a result, the Company has restated its financial statements for the three-year period ended
December 31, 2004.



The restatement relates to the
Companys previous depreciation of its leasehold improvements, in some cases, over a period greater than both the initial term of the lease and its option periods, but not longer than the useful life of the asset. The Company has concluded that
it should use the shorter of (1) the initial lease term unless it believes that the penalty for not renewing the lease would be substantial enough that it was reasonably assured that the Company would exercise the renewal, or (2) the
useful life of the asset. The restatement relates, in part, to the February 7, 2005 letter issued by the Office of the Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission to the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, which
clarified the existing generally accepted accounting principles applicable to leases.



These non-cash adjustments have no material impact on the Companys previously reported cash flows, cash position, revenues, or EBITDA in any period, or on compliance with the covenants under its senior secured
credit facilities or the Indenture for the 9.0% senior secured notes due 2012 (the 9% Notes).

The restatement had no
impact on net cash provided or used in operating, investing, and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

PETRO STOPPING CENTERS, L.P.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



The Company completed the purchase of the New Paris, Ohio site in February 2005 and York, Nebraska and Kingsland, Georgia sites in March 2005. New Paris, Ohio and York,
Nebraska were existing Petro Stopping Centers owned by one of the Companys franchisees and became company-operated sites following the closing of the related transactions. The Kingsland, Georgia truck stop was independently owned and is a
Petro:2 format site. The three sites were purchased for cash consideration totaling $20.7 million. The purchase price was primarily allocated to property and equipment of $18.6 million and to inventories. The Company has not yet completed the
evaluation and allocation of the purchase price of the above mentioned acquisitions as the analyses associated with the valuation of certain assets are not yet complete. The Company does not believe that the analyses will materially modify the
preliminary purchase price allocation.



(4) Partners Deficit



Under the Indenture for the 9% Notes and the agreement
governing the senior secured credit facilities, the Company is permitted to make distributions to Petro Stopping Centers Holdings, L.P. (the Holding Partnership) in amounts sufficient to allow the Holding Partnership to pay interest on
the Holding Partnerships 15.0% senior discount notes due 2008 (15% Notes) and its senior third secured discount notes due 2014 and to pay for taxes and administrative expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company
paid approximately $4.8 million with respect to these distributions. The Company believes it will distribute an additional $1.4 million to the Holding Partnership during the remainder of 2005 for interest payments, taxes, and administrative
expenses. All but $50,000 of the 15% Notes were repurchased in the three month period ending March 31, 2005, and the remaining $50,000 of the 15% Notes were repurchased in May 2005.



(5) Segments



The Company has two reportable operating segments, company-operated truck stops and franchise operations.



As of June 30, 2004 and 2005, the Company operated 37 and 40 multi-service
truck stops in the United States, respectively. The Company has aggregated its company-operated truck stops into one reportable operating segment based on the distribution of products and services under one common site facility, classified as a
multi-service truck stop. The revenues generated from the company-operated truck stops were $314.3 million and $436.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively, and $599.2 million and $796.5 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The Company added three company-operated truck stops in the three months ended March 31, 2005, two of which were previously operated by Company franchisees.



As of June 30, 2004 and 2005, the Company was a franchisor to 23 and 22 Petro
Stopping Center locations, respectively. The Company collects royalties and fees in exchange for the use of its tradenames and trademarks and for certain services provided to the franchisees. Franchise fees are based generally upon a percentage of
the franchisees sales. The revenues generated from the Companys franchise operations were $1.5 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, and $2.8 million and $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004
and 2005, respectively. Franchise operations revenues, which include initial franchise fees and other revenue types, are combined in non-fuel revenues reported on the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed statements of operations. The
Company does not allocate any expenses in measuring this segments profit and loss, nor does it believe there are any significant financial commitments or obligations resulting from these franchise agreements.

(6) Recently Issued Accounting
Pronouncements



In December 2003, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, which replaced the original Interpretation No. 46 issued in January 2003. This
Interpretation addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the Interpretation. The effective dates vary depending on the type of reporting company and the type of entity that the company is
involved with. Companies without publicly traded equity securities, such as the Company, must apply the revised Interpretation immediately to all entities created after December 31, 2003, and to all other entities no later than the beginning of the
first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2004. Management has adopted this revised Interpretation and concluded that the Company does not own interests in any entities that meet the consolidation requirements.



In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which replaces the original Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, issued in October 1995.
This standard addresses the accounting for transactions where an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. The effective dates vary depending on the type of reporting entity. Non-public companies, such as the Company,
must apply the revised standard as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. Management does not believe that the adoption of this revised standard will have a significant impact on the Companys
financial position or results of operations.



In
March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations. This Interpretation clarifies that the term conditional as used in Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 143, Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity even if the timing and/or settlement are conditional on a future event that
may or may not be within the control of an entity. Accordingly, the entity must record a liability for the conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the obligation can be

reasonably estimated. The Interpretation is effective for companies no later than the end of the fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005. Management is evaluating the
impact of this Interpretation on its consolidated financial statements.



In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections, which replaced Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20
Accounting Changes and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. This standard provides guidance on the accounting and reporting for accounting changes
and correction of errors, requiring changes in accounting principles be recognized on a retrospective approach rather than treating them as cumulative effect of changes in accounting principle. The standard is effective for accounting changes and
correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. Management does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on the Companys financial position or results of operations.



(7) Subsequent Events



On July 19, 2005, the Company commenced operations of a new franchise
operation located in Remington, Indiana.



On July 26, 2005, the
Company completed the sale of $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9% Notes in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The notes were part of the Companys outstanding 9% Notes,
of which $225.0 million in aggregate principal amount were issued on February 9, 2004.



On July 26, 2005, the Company amended its Senior Secured Credit agreement to permit the acquisition of the Bordentown Junction Truck Stop in Burlington County, New Jersey.



On July 26, 2005, the Company completed the purchase of the Bordentown
Junction Truck Stop in Burlington County, New Jersey, which was an existing Petro Stopping Center owned and operated by one of the Companys franchisees and became a company-operated site following the closing of the transaction. This site was
purchased for cash consideration totaling $25.2 million.

Item 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations



Forward-Looking Statements



Certain sections of this Form 10-Q, including Managements
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk, contain various forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 as amended, which represent managements expectations or beliefs concerning future events that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements may be accompanied by words such as believe, intend,
estimate, may, could, project, anticipate, expect, or predict, that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. These statements are based on assumptions
that we believe are reasonable; however, many important factors could cause our actual results in the future to differ materially from the results referred to in the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to
numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties that may cause our actual results to be materially different from any future results expressed or implied by us in those statements. Some of these risks are described in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual
Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2004 (2004 Form 10-K/A). These risk factors should be considered in connection with any subsequent written or oral forward-looking statements that we or persons acting on our behalf
may issue.



All statements, other than statements of historical
facts included in this Form 10-Q, may be considered forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are included in, without limitation, Overview of Operating Results, Consolidated Revenues,
Results of Operations, Network Development, Liquidity and Capital Resources, and Critical Accounting Policies. In addition, in the preparation of our unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements, we make various estimates and assumptions that are by their nature forward-looking statements.



Restatement



We restated our financial statements for the three-year period ended December 31, 2004. For a discussion on this restatement, see Note 2 of our unaudited
consolidated condensed financial statements.



Reporting Format



We have two reportable operating segments,
company-operated truck stops and franchise operations.



As of
June 30, 2004, and 2005, we operated 37 and 40 multi-service truck stops in the United States, respectively. We have aggregated our company-operated truck stops into one reportable operating segment based on the distribution of products and services
under one common site facility, classified as a multi-service truck stop. The revenues generated from our company-operated truck stops were $314.3 million and $436.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively, and $599.2
million and $796.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively. We added three company-operated truck stops in the three months ended March 31, 2005, two of which were previously operated by franchisees.



As of June 30, 2004 and 2005, we were a franchisor to 23 and 22 Petro
Stopping Center locations, respectively. We collect royalties and fees in exchange for the use of our tradenames and trademarks and for certain services provided to the franchisees. Franchise fees are based generally upon a percentage of the
franchisees sales. The revenues generated from our franchise operations were $1.5 million for each of the three months ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, and $2.8 million and $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2005,
respectively. Franchise operations revenues, which include initial franchise fees and other revenue types, are combined in non-fuel revenues reported on our accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed statements of operations. We do not allocate
any expenses in measuring this segments profit and loss, nor do we believe there are any significant financial commitments or obligations resulting from these franchise agreements.



No provision for income taxes is reflected in the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements because
we are a partnership for which taxable income and tax deductions are passed through to our partners.

Overview of Operating Results



During the six months ended June 30, 2005, our revenues
were $799.4 million, a 32.8% increase over the prior year period. The increase was mostly due to higher fuel revenues as a result of an increase in our average retail-selling price of fuel and increased fuel gallons sold, in addition to our three
new sites. Our net income of $4.8 million was $8.7 million higher than our net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2004 (as restated), primarily due to costs associated with our 2004 Refinancing Transactions.



During the 2nd quarter of 2005, our net revenues were $438.1 million, a 38.7%
increase over prior years quarter. The increase was mostly due to higher fuel revenues as a result of an increase in our average retail-selling price of fuel and increased fuel gallons sold, in addition to our three new sites. Our net income
of $4.0 million was $318,000 higher compared to the prior years quarter.



We derive our revenues primarily from:

Results of
Operations



Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Six Months Ended
June 30, 2004 (As Restated)



Overview.Net income
increased by $8.7 million to $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to a net loss of $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2004, due primarily to costs of approximately $7.0 million associated with our 2004 Refinancing
Transactions. Our net revenues increased 32.8% to $799.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $601.9 million in the prior year period. The increase was mainly due to higher fuel revenues, as a result of an increase in our average
retail-selling price of fuel related to market conditions and increased fuel gallons sold, in addition to improved non-fuel sales and the addition of three new sites. As discussed herein, we completed the purchase of two previously franchise
operated locations at New Paris, Ohio and York, Nebraska and a new Petro:2 location at Kingsland, Georgia during the first quarter in 2005. On a comparable unit basis, net revenues increased by 28.1% to $770.9 million from $601.9 million in the
prior year period, due to an increase in our average retail-selling price of fuel and increased fuel gallons sold. A Petro Stopping Center is considered a comparable unit in 2005 if we operated it for twelve months in 2004. During the six months
ended June 30, 2005, we had 36 company-operated comparable units out of a total of 39 company-operated units for the six months ended June 30, 2005, in each case excluding our jointly-owned Wheeler Ridge facility, which is reflected in equity in
income (loss) of affiliates. Operating expenses increased 5.8% to $72.3 million from $68.3 million in the prior year period due primarily to the addition of our three new sites.



Fuel.Revenues increased 39.9% to $662.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $473.5 million in
the six months ended June 30, 2004. Fuel revenues increased due to a 29.9% increase in our average retail-selling price per gallon compared to the prior year period due to market conditions, as well as a 7.7% increase in our total fuel gallons sold
from the prior year period, which was partially due to the addition of our three new sites. Gross profit increased by 10.0% to $23.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $21.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2004,
despite a 41.3% increase in our cost of fuel. On a comparable unit basis, fuel revenues increased 35.0% due to a 29.7% increase in our average retail-selling price per gallon as well as a 4.1% increase in our total fuel gallons sold compared to the
prior year period. On a comparable unit basis, gross profit increased by 6.3%, or $1.4 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to the prior year period.



Non-Fuel (excluding Restaurant). Revenues increased 8.7% to $100.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005
compared to $92.5 million in the prior year period. Gross profit increased 9.5% to $57.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 from $52.1 million in the prior year period. The increases in revenues and gross profit were due primarily to an
8.8%, or $7.5 million, increase in general merchandise sales at our retail stores and increased sales at our Petro:Lubes, in addition to our three new sites. On a comparable unit basis, revenues increased 4.8%, or $4.4 million and gross profit
increased 5.7%, or $3.0 million compared to the prior year period.

Restaurant. Revenues increased 1.2% to $36.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005
compared to $36.0 million in the prior year period, mainly due to the addition of our three new sites, and a 3.4%, or $.28, increase in our average ticket price, offset by a 1.9% decrease in our customer count. Gross profits in the restaurant
increased by 1.6%, or $386,000, compared to the prior year period, due to the increase in revenues primarily due to our three new sites. On a comparable unit basis, revenues decreased 2.7%, or $977,000, from the prior year period, due to a 5.8%
decrease in our customer count, offset by an increase of 3.6%, or $.29, in our average ticket price. On a comparable unit basis, gross profit decreased 2.3%, or $583,000, from the prior year period.



Costs and Expenses. Total costs and expenses increased 33.3% to $782.8
million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $587.4 million in the prior year period. Cost of sales increased 37.7%, or $189.9 million from the prior year period, mainly due to a 41.3% increase in our cost of fuel, in addition to costs
incurred by the addition of our three new sites. Operating expenses increased 5.8%, or $3.9 million, to $72.3 million compared to the prior year period, due primarily to the addition of our three new sites. General and administrative expenses
increased 15.3% to $9.3 million compared to $8.0 million in the prior year period, due primarily to higher employee-related costs and an increase in professional expenses related mainly to our preparation for the compliance requirements set forth in
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act and legal expenses. On a comparable unit basis, total costs and expenses increased 28.5%, or $167.3 million, from the prior year period. On a comparable unit basis, cost of sales increased 32.8%, or $165.2
million, from the prior year period, due primarily to a 36.3% increase in our cost of fuel. On a comparable unit basis, operating expenses increased 1.0%, or $715,000, to $69.1 million compared to the prior year period, due primarily to higher
credit card fees associated with the increased fuel revenues, and increased utility costs, offset by lower employee-related costs.



Equity in Income ( Loss) of Affiliate.For the six months ended June 30, 2005, we recognized a loss of $178,000 related to our investment in the
Wheeler Ridge facility in Southern California compared to a gain of $158,000 in the prior year period.



Interest Expense. Interest expense remained relatively flat compared to the prior year period, due to a decrease in our total outstanding debt
compared to 2004, offset by an increase in the interest rate on our debt outstanding in the current year period.



Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2004 (As Restated)

Liquidity and Capital Resources



Our principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from our operations and the available borrowing under the revolving credit portion of our senior secured
credit facility.



Cash Flows from Operations



We had cash flows from operations of $14.7 million and $14.2 million for the
six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, respectively. The decrease in cash flows was due primarily to variations in the timing of payments for trade accounts payable and other current liabilities, increased inventory due to higher fuel costs and
our three new sites, timing of payments due to affiliates for fuel purchases, and timing of receipts related to trade accounts receivables, offset by the increase in operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2005.



We had working capital of $10.7 million and negative working capital of $4.0
million at December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005, respectively. Negative working capital is normal in the truck stop industry since diesel fuel inventory turns approximately every two to three days, but payment for fuel purchases can generally be made
over a longer period of time; however, due to our senior secured credit facility and the associated reduction in our current portion of long-term debt, we had positive working capital at December 31, 2004. Approximately 91.8% of our total sales are
cash sales (or the equivalent in the case of sales paid for on credit, which are funded on a daily basis by third-party billing companies).



Available Borrowings Under the Revolving Credit Facilities



Available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit portion of our senior secured credit facility was $14.4 million and $28.8 million at December 31,
2004 and June 30, 2005, respectively, subject to certain conditions.



On January 21, 2005, we amended our senior secured credit agreement to extend the maturity date to February 2008, increase the size of the revolving commitment from $25.0 million to $40.0 million, eliminate amortization payments, make all
principal amounts due on the maturity date, modify covenants to, among other things, permit acquisition of the Kingsland, Georgia, New Paris, Ohio, and York, Nebraska sites, and decrease the pricing spread on the revolving facility and the term
loan.



On July 26, 2005, we amended our senior secured credit
agreement to permit the acquisition of the Bordentown Junction Truck Stop in Burlington County, New Jersey.



At June 30, 2005, we have senior secured credit facilities in an aggregate principal amount of $61.3 million, consisting of a four-year revolving credit
facility of $40.0 million ($5.0 million of which is restricted to the issuance of letters of credit), and a four-year term loan facility of $21.3 million. Any funds drawn on our



17



---

senior secured credit facilities are secured by substantially all of our assets and the guarantees of each of our
subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2005, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our senior secured credit facilities.



Under the revolving credit portion of our senior secured credit facilities, $40.0 million is available on a revolving basis until maturity at February 9,
2008, subject to certain conditions. Interest on drawn funds is paid at maturity and quarterly for base rate loans on the last day of each interest period, but at least every three months for Eurodollar rate loans at a current spread of 1.50% above
the banks base rate or 2.25% over the Eurodollar rate (the rate is determined at the time of borrowing, at our option). Commitment fees of 0.50% per quarter on undrawn funds are paid quarterly. At June 30, 2005, we had no borrowings
outstanding under our revolving credit portion of our senior secured credit facilities and had $11.2 million in standby letters of credit outstanding, which reduce our borrowing capacity under the revolving credit portion of our senior secured
credit facilities on a dollar for dollar basis. Approximately $7.6 million of these letters of credit are required to be posted with our insurance carriers in connection with our obtaining liability and other insurance coverage.



As of June 30, 2005, we had $21.3 million outstanding under our term loan
facility, which matures on February 9, 2008.



9% Senior Secured Notes Due
2012



On July 26, 2005, we completed the sale of $25.0
million aggregate principal amount of 9% Notes in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The notes were part of the Companys outstanding 9% Notes, of which $225.0 million in aggregate
principal amount were issued on February 9, 2004.

In addition to the above, we have an annual volume commitment associated with contracts with the
ExxonMobil Suppliers (the ExxonMobil Supply Agreements) as discussed in more detail in Note 8 to notes to consolidated financial statements included in our 2004 Form 10-K/A. These purchase obligations are made by the ExxonMobil Suppliers
for us on the open market at prices determined largely by supply and competitive conditions. We have excluded these purchase obligations from the table above as they cannot reasonably be estimated.



Short-Term Requirements



Our primary short-term cash requirements include the funding of the Bordentown acquisition, working capital, employment
agreements, distributions to the Holding Partnership, interest on our debt, and capital expenditures. We believe that cash flow from operations, the proceeds from the sale of additional 9% Notes, and our revolving credit facilities should be
sufficient to satisfy our short-term operating and capital needs.



During the first quarter of 2005, we entered into agreements for the acquisition of four sites. We completed the purchase of our New Paris, Ohio site in February 2005 and our York, Nebraska and Kingsland, Georgia sites in March 2005. New
Paris, Ohio and York, Nebraska were existing Petro Stopping Centers owned by one of our franchisees and became company-operated sites following the closing of the related transactions. The Kingsland, Georgia truck stop was independently owned and is
a Petro:2 format site. The three sites were purchased for cash consideration totaling $20.7 million. The purchase price was primarily allocated to property and equipment of $18.6 million and to inventories. We have not yet completed the evaluation
and allocation of the purchase price of the above mentioned acquisitions as the analyses associated with the valuation of certain assets are not yet complete. We do not believe that the analyses will materially modify the preliminary purchase price
allocation.



On July 26, 2005, we completed the purchase of the
Bordentown Junction Truck Stop in Burlington County, New Jersey, which was an existing Petro Stopping Center owned and operated by one of our franchisees and became a company-operated site following the closing of the transaction. This site was
purchased for cash consideration totaling $25.2 million.



Capital expenditures on our truck stop network totaled $22.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. These costs were primarily associated with the acquisition of the three new sites as described above. We currently expect to invest
approximately $7.2 million during 2005 on capital expenditures related to regular capital maintenance and improvement projects on existing Petro Stopping Centers, as well as volume building projects. The $7.2 million does not include potential new
site acquisitions. These capital outlays will be funded through borrowings under our senior secured credit facilities and internally generated cash.



Under our Indenture for the 9% Notes and the agreement governing our senior secured credit facilities, we are permitted to make distributions to the
Holding Partnership in amounts sufficient to allow the Holding Partnership to pay interest on the Holding Partnerships 15.0% senior discount notes due 2008 (15% Notes) and their senior third secured discount notes due 2014 and to
pay for taxes and administrative expenses. For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company paid approximately $4.8 million with respect to these distributions. We believe we will distribute an additional $1.4 million to the Holding Partnership
during the remainder of 2005 for interest payments, taxes, and administrative expenses. All but $50,000 of the 15% Notes were repurchased in the three month period ending March 31, 2005, and the remaining $50,000 of the 15% Notes were repurchased in
May 2005.



Long-Term Requirements



Our anticipated long-term cash requirements include indebtedness and
operating leases as set forth in the table above. Other possible long-term uses of cash include:



| |  |  | expansion of our network through constructing or acquiring new sites;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | distributions to the Holding Partnership; and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------



| |  |  | capital improvements to existing locations.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------

Based on the foregoing, we believe that internally generated funds, together with amounts available under
our senior secured credit facilities and funds from the additional $25.0 million 9% Notes, will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for operations and debt service through 2005 and the foreseeable future thereafter; provided however, that
our ability to satisfy such obligations and maintain covenant compliance under our senior secured credit facilities is dependent upon a number of factors, some of which are beyond our control, including economic, capital market, and competitive
conditions. Some of these risks are described in Part II, Item 7 of our 2004 Form 10-K/A.



Critical Accounting Policies



The preparation of our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in our unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements and accompanying notes. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has defined a
companys critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of the companys financial condition and results of operations, and which require the company to make its most difficult and subjective judgments,
often as a result of the need to make estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, we have identified our critical accounting policies as including those addressed below. We also have other key accounting policies
that involve the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions. See Note 2 (b) in notes to consolidated financial statements included in our 2004 Form 10-K/A for additional discussion of these accounting policies. We believe that our estimates and
assumptions are reasonable, based upon information presently available, however, actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.



Partial Self-Insurance



We are partially self-insured, paying our own employment practices, general liability, workers compensation, and group health benefit claims, up to
stop-loss amounts ranging from $100,000 to $250,000 on a per occurrence basis. Provisions established under these partial self-insurance programs are made for both estimated losses on known claims and claims incurred but not reported, in both cases
based on claims history. The most significant risk of this methodology is its dependence on claims history, which is not always indicative of future claims. Revisions of estimates based on historical claims data have the effect of increasing or
decreasing the related required provisions and thus may impact our net income (loss) for the period. If our estimates are inaccurate, our expenses and net income (loss) will be understated or overstated. Although some variation to actual results
occurs, historically such variability has not been material. At June 30, 2005, the aggregated liability was approximately $9.8 million, which we believe is adequate to cover both reported and incurred but not reported claims.



Loyalty Program



We utilize estimates in accounting for our Petro Passport loyalty program. We record a liability for the estimated
redemption of Petro points based upon our estimates about the future redemption rate of Petro points outstanding. The most significant risk of this methodology is its dependence on using historical redemption rates, which are not always indicative
of future redemption rates. If our estimates are inaccurate, our related expenses and net income (loss) could be understated or overstated. Although some variation to actual results occurs, historically such variability has not been material. At
June 30, 2005, we believe our liability related to our Petro Passport loyalty program is adequate to cover future point redemptions.



Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements



In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Interpretation No. 46 (revised December 2003), Consolidation of Variable Interest
Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51, which replaced the original Interpretation No. 46 issued in January 2003. This Interpretation addresses the consolidation by business enterprises of variable interest entities as defined in the
Interpretation. The effective dates vary depending on the type of reporting company and the type of entity that the company is involved with. Companies without publicly traded equity securities, such as ourselves, must apply the revised
Interpretation immediately to all entities created after December 31, 2003, and to all other entities no later than the beginning of the first reporting period beginning after December 15, 2004. We have adopted this revised Interpretation and
concluded that we do not own interests in any entities that meet the consolidation requirements.



20



---

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment, which replaces the original Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, issued in October 1995. This standard addresses
the accounting for transactions where an entity obtains employee services in share-based payment transactions. The effective dates vary depending on the type of reporting entity. Non-public companies, such as ourselves, must apply the revised
standard as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period that begins after December 15, 2005. We do not believe that the adoption of this revised standard will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial position or results of
operations.



In March 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board issued Interpretation No. 47, Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations. This Interpretation clarifies that the term conditional as used in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 143,
Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations, which refers to a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity even if the timing and/or settlement are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of
an entity. Accordingly, the entity must record a liability for the conditional asset retirement obligation if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. The Interpretation is effective for companies no later than the end of the
fiscal year ending after December 15, 2005. Management is evaluating the impact of this Interpretation on our consolidated financial statements.



In May 2005, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, Accounting Changes and Error
Corrections, which replaced Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 20 Accounting Changes and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 3, Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements. This
standard provides guidance on the accounting and reporting for accounting changes and correction of errors, requiring changes in accounting principles be recognized on a retrospective approach rather than treating them as cumulative effect of
changes in accounting principle. The standard is effective for accounting changes and correction of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We do not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a significant impact on
our financial position or results of operations.



Item 3. Quantitative and
Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk



We are exposed
to market risk due to changes in commodity prices and interest rates. For a complete discussion of our market risks and our market risk sensitive assets and liabilities, please refer to Item 7A, Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about
Market Risk, included in our 2004 Form 10-K/A. During the quarter ended June 30, 2005, there have been no material changes regarding our market risks from the discussion in our 2004 Form 10-K/A.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures



As of June 30, 2005, we completed an evaluation, under
the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and



21



---

Secretary, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that
evaluation, the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and Secretary concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at a reasonable assurance level in timely alerting them to material information
relating to us which is required to be included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings.



Prior to the filing of this report, management has implemented necessary changes to the Companys internal controls in order to address the lease
accounting matters referred to in Note 2 of notes to unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements. Aside from this, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting in connection with the evaluation required by the
paragraph (d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 during the second fiscal quarter, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially effect, our internal control over financial reporting.



PART II. OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1. Legal Proceedings



From time to time we are involved in ordinary routine litigation incidental
to our operations. Based on the existence of insurance coverage, we believe that any litigation currently pending or threatened against us will not have a material adverse effect on our unaudited consolidated condensed financial position or results
of operations.



Item 6. Exhibits
