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. (collectively, 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 Annual Report of the Company on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (2005 Form 10-K). Capitalized terms used in this report and not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the 2005 Form 10-K. 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, 2005
and March 31, 2006, the consolidated condensed results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, and the changes in partners deficit for the three months ended March 31, 2006. The results
of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2006 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 $66.4 million and $80.6 million for the three months ended March 31,
2005 and 2006, respectively.

Reclassifications

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

(2) Partners Deficit

Under the Indenture for the 9.0% senior secured notes due 2012 and the agreement governing the Companys 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 senior third secured
discount notes due 2014 and to pay for taxes and administrative expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, the Company paid approximately $5,000 with respect to these distributions. The Company believes it will distribute an
additional $2.7 million to the Holding Partnership during the remainder of 2006 for interest payments, taxes, and administrative expenses.

(3) Segments

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

As of March 31, 2005 and 2006, the Company operated 40 and 42 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s company-operated truck stops were $359.9 million and $515.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

As of March 31, 2005 and 2006, the Company was a franchisor to 22 Petro Stopping Center locations. 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 $1.3 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, 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.

The following table contains
financial information of the Companys reportable operating segments:

(4) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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 has adopted this revised standard and concluded that it had no impact on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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 (the Exchange Act), 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 I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the 2005 Form 10-K). 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.

Reporting Format

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

As of March 31, 2005 and 2006, we operated 40 and 42 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 $359.9 million and $515.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

As of March 31, 2005 and 2006, we were a franchisor to 22 Petro Stopping Center locations. 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 $1.3 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006,
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 the individual partners.

The following table contains financial information
of our reportable operating segments:

Overview of Operating Results

During the three months ended March 31, 2006, our net revenues were $517.0 million, a 43.1% 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 five new sites, which were opened during 2005. We incurred a net loss of $484,000 in the current quarter compared to net income of $781,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2005, primarily due to lower operating income and higher interest expense, caused by an increase in our total outstanding debt.

We derive our revenues from:



| |  |  | The sale of diesel and gasoline fuels;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------



| |  |  | Non-fuel items, including the sale of merchandise and offering of services including truck tire sales and installation, truck maintenance and repair services, on-site vendor lease
income, showers, laundry, video games, franchise revenues, fast-food operations, and other operations; and
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Our fuel revenues and related cost of sales include a significant amount of federal and state
motor fuel taxes. Such taxes were $66.4 million and $80.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2006 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2005

Overview.We had net loss
of $484,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared to net income of $781,000 for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Our net revenues increased 43.1% to $517.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 from $361.2 million in
the prior year quarter. The increase was mainly due to (i) 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, (ii) improved non-fuel
sales, and (iii) the addition of five new sites. On a comparable unit basis, net revenues increased by 32.5% to $472.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 from $356.4 million in the prior year quarter. The increase was mainly due
to (i) higher fuel revenues, as a result of an increase in our average retail-selling price of fuel and increased fuel gallons sold and (ii) improved non-fuel sales. A Petro Stopping Center is considered a comparable unit in 2006 if we
operated it for twelve months in 2005. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, we had 36 company-operated comparable units out of a total of 41 company-operated units, in each case excluding our jointly-owned Wheeler Ridge facility, which is
reflected in equity in income (loss) of affiliates. Operating expenses increased 21.7% to $41.8 million from $34.3 million in the prior year quarter, due primarily to the addition of our five new sites, higher employee-related costs, increased
utility costs, and higher credit card fees associated with the increased fuel revenues.

Fuel.Revenues increased 48.6% to $441.6
million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared to $297.2 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Fuel revenues increased due to a 22.2% increase in our average retail-selling price per gallon compared to the prior year quarter
related to market conditions, as well as a 21.6% increase in our total fuel gallons sold from the prior year quarter, which was partially due to the addition of our five new sites. Gross profit increased by 12.3% to $11.3 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2006 compared to $10.1 million in the prior year quarter, despite a 49.9% increase in our cost of fuel. On a comparable unit basis, fuel revenues increased 37.9% due to a 22.2% increase in our average retail-selling price per
gallon, as well as a 12.9% increase in our total fuel gallons sold compared to the prior year quarter. On a comparable unit basis, gross profit decreased by 2.1%, or $205,000, for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared to the prior year
quarter.

Non-Fuel (excluding Restaurant). Revenues increased 19.0% to $55.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006
compared to $46.6 million in the prior year quarter. Gross profit increased 15.4% to $31.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 from $27.0 million in the prior year quarter. The increases in revenues and gross profit were due primarily
to a 19.3%, or $8.3 million, increase in general merchandise sales at our retail stores and increased sales at our Petro:Lubes, in addition to our five new sites. On a comparable unit basis, revenues increased 8.5%, or $3.9 million, and gross profit
increased 5.5%, or $1.5 million, compared to the prior year quarter.

Restaurant. Revenues increased 14.7% to $20.0 million for the
quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared to $17.4 million in the prior year quarter, due primarily to the addition of four new sites with restaurant operations. Gross profits in the restaurant improved by 13.6%, or $1.6 million, compared to the
prior year quarter, due primarily to the increase in revenues due to the addition of our new sites, partially offset by an increase in food costs. On a comparable unit basis, revenues increased 3.8%, or $652,000, for the quarter ended March 31,
2006 compared to $17.1 million in the prior year quarter, mostly due to a 3.6% increase in our customer count. On a comparable unit basis, gross profit increased 2.8%, or $337,000, from the prior year quarter.

Costs and Expenses. Total costs and expenses increased 44.2% to $511.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2006 compared to $354.6
million in the prior year quarter. Cost of sales increased 47.7%, or $148.7 million, from the prior year quarter mainly due to a 49.9% increase in our cost of fuel, in addition to costs incurred related to the addition of our five new sites.
Operating expenses increased 21.7%, or $ 7.4 million, to $41.8 million compared to the prior year quarter, due primarily to the addition of our new sites, higher employee-related costs, increased utility costs, and higher credit card fees
associated with the increased fuel volumes. General and administrative expenses remained relatively flat when compared to the prior year quarter. On a comparable unit basis, total costs and expenses increased 33.4%, or $117.0 million, from the prior
year quarter. On a comparable unit basis, cost of sales increased 37.1%, or $114.2 million, from the prior year quarter, due primarily to a 39.3% increase in our cost of fuel. On a comparable unit basis, operating expenses



9



---

increased 7.7%, or $2.6 million, to $36.3 million compared to the prior year quarter, due primarily to higher employee-related costs, increased utility
costs, and higher credit card fees associated with increased fuel revenues.

Equity in Income (Loss) of Affiliate.For the quarter
ended March 31, 2006, we recognized income of $136,000 related to our investment in the Wheeler Ridge facility in Southern California compared to a loss of $163,000 for the prior year quarter.

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased 10.9% to $6.4 million compared to $5.8 million in the prior year quarter, due primarily to the
increase in our debt outstanding in the current quarter.

On November 1, 2005, we entered into a lease agreement to be effective October 19, 2005
for a company-operated site located in Spokane, Washington. The initial term of the lease shall commence upon our occupancy of the site, which was extended to no later than September 30, 2006 from June 1, 2006 by the terms of an amendment
to the lease agreement that we entered into on April 17, 2006.

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



10



---

We had cash flows used in operations of $4.6 million and cash flows from operations of $3.9 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2005 and 2006, respectively. The increase in cash flows was due primarily to variations in the timing of payments for trade accounts payable and due to affiliates for fuel purchases, partially offset by
variations in the timing of payments for other current liabilities, increased inventory due to higher fuel costs and our five new sites, and the decrease in operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2006.

We had working capital of $2.3 million and $3.2 million at December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, 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, 2005 and March 31, 2006. Approximately 92.2% 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 $30.0 million and $29.8
million at December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006, respectively, subject to certain conditions.

On February 3, 2006, we
amended our senior secured credit agreement to permit (i) a joint venture arrangement with Alon USA, Interests, LLC or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries (Alon) for the purpose of developing a travel center in the area of
Midland, Texas (the Asset Joint Venture); (ii) a joint venture arrangement with Alon for the purpose of operating certain aspects of the Asset Joint Venture; and (iii) the transfer of $5,000,000 in cash to Petro Distributing,
Inc. in the form of an equity contribution, for the purpose of facilitating Petro Distributing, Inc.s purchase of gasoline, fuel and similar products from its vendors.

At March 31, 2006, 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 senior secured credit facilities are secured by substantially
all of our assets and the guarantees of each of our subsidiaries. As of March 31, 2006, 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. Interest on drawn funds is paid at maturity or quarterly if the term is greater than three months 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 March 31, 2006, we had no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit portion of our senior secured credit facilities and
had $10.2 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 $6.8 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 March 31, 2006, we had $21.3 million outstanding under our term loan facility, which matures on February 9, 2008.

Short-Term Requirements

Our primary short-term cash requirements include working capital, employment agreements, distributions to Petro Stopping Centers
Holdings, L.P. (the Holding Partnership), interest on our debt, and capital expenditures. We believe that cash flows from operations and our revolving credit facilities should be sufficient to satisfy our short-term operating and capital
needs.

On January 31, 2006, we entered into a purchase agreement to acquire real property located in Fairfield, Virginia for the
construction of a future Petro Stopping Center for $1.4 million. On March 1, 2006, this acquisition was completed.



11



---

Capital expenditures on our truck stop network totaled $4.4 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2006, which includes $1.4 million for the acquisition of land at Fairfield, Virginia. We currently expect to invest approximately $10.0 million during the remainder of 2006 on capital expenditures related to regular capital
maintenance and improvement projects on existing Petro Stopping Centers, as well as volume building projects. The $10.0 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 9.0% senior secured notes due 2012 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 their senior third secured discount notes due 2014
and to pay for taxes and administrative expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2006, we paid approximately $5,000 with respect to these distributions. We believe we will distribute an additional $2.7 million to the Holding Partnership
during the remainder of 2006 for interest payments, taxes, and administrative expenses.

Long-Term Requirements

Our anticipated long-term cash requirements include indebtedness and operating leases. Other possible long-term uses of cash include:



| |  |  | expansion of our network through building 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, will be sufficient to satisfy our cash requirements for operations and debt service through 2006 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 I, Item 1A of our 2005 Form 10-K.

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 the ones 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 in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
included in our 2005 Form 10-K 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



12



---

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 March 31, 2006, the aggregated liability was approximately $9.9 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 March 31, 2006, we believe our liability related to our Petro Passport loyalty program is adequate to cover future point redemptions.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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 have adopted this revised standard and concluded that it had no impact on
our consolidated 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 2005 Form 10-K. During the quarter ended March 31, 2006, there have been no material changes
regarding our market risks from the discussion in our 2005 Form 10-K.

The following table reflects the carrying amount and estimated fair
value of our financial instruments, as of December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006:

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2006, 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 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 that is required to be included in our periodic Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph
(d) of Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 under the Exchange Act during the first fiscal quarter of 2006, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, 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 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no
material changes in our risk factors as described in Part I, Item 1A of our 2005 Form 10-K.
