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. 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.



The Companys sole purpose is to act as a co-obligor with PSC in the issuance of $225.0 million 9% Senior Secured Notes due 2012 (the 9%
Notes) issued in February 2004 and the issuance of an additional $25.0 million 9% Notes issued in July 2005. The 9% Notes are recorded on the financial statements of PSC.



(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 U.S. 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 Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 (2004 Form 10-K). Capitalized terms used in this report and not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the 2004 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, 2004 and September 30, 2005.



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.

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



The Company is inactive with no employees and with
minimal assets; accordingly, it has 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, 2004 and September 30, 2005.



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,
2005, 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 during the third fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
