fiscal 2002, we appointed a new management team at Total Gas &amp; Electric who instituted new credit policies and information systems that were completed by the spring of 2002. As a result of these actions, we have reduced our customer base by over
60,000 customers to approximately 70,000 by eliminating customers with poor credit history, and we now focus our customer marketing efforts in geographic markets where the local utility guarantees payment of at least 98% of our receivables.

heating oil and propane industries incorporate a number of characteristics which provide us with a competitive advantage over smaller competitors and new entrants. The labor-intensive nature of the business which consists of a large number of small
transactions favors larger companies with economies of scale that are able to generate operating efficiencies and effectively manage distribution routes. Customer turnover is generally low and when it occurs, there is usually a triggering event such
as a home sale or a service failure by a competitor. A highly fragmented industry with few large operators makes achieving size and scale challenging for new market entrants. Our use of technology to improve our product delivery and customer service
is not easily affordable by our smaller heating oil competitors. In addition, we own approximately 95% of the propane tanks located at our customers&#146; homes, which further enhances our profitability and customer stability since fire safety laws

a large number of relatively small, independently owned and operated local distributors. We have generally purchased family-owned or entrepreneurial operations where existing owners are seeking an exit strategy and where we could immediately
incorporate their operations into our infrastructure. We have been successful in purchasing customer lists at attractive multiples and integrating the operations to further enhance our scale. Historically, we have financed these acquisitions using a

market and the availability of price quotations for Series A notes would depend upon a number of factors, including the number of holders of Series A notes remaining at such time and the interest in maintaining a market in such Series A notes on the
part of securities firms. An issue of securities with a smaller outstanding market value available for trading, or float, may command a lower price than would a comparable issue of securities with a greater float. Therefore, the market price for
Series A notes that are not exchanged in the exchange offer may be affected adversely to the extent that the amount of Series A notes exchanged pursuant to the exchange offer reduces the float. The reduced float also may tend to make the trading
price of the Series A notes that are not exchanged more volatile. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

Petro&#146;s and Star Gas Propane&#146;s indebtedness and other financial obligations also require them to maintain specified financial ratios and satisfy other financial conditions. The ability of Petro and Star Gas Propane to meet those financial
ratios and conditions can be affected by events beyond their control, such as weather conditions and general economic conditions. Accordingly, they may be unable to meet those ratios and conditions. For example, due to the impact on operations of
the record warm weather conditions experienced during fiscal 2002, Petro did not meet certain of its credit facility agreement covenants. This non-compliance was resolved with an amendment to Petro&#146;s credit facility agreement that was signed in
April 2002. As a result, Petro is currently in compliance with these covenants. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

amounts, the lenders could initiate a bankruptcy proceeding or liquidation proceeding or proceed against the collateral, if any. If the lenders of Petro&#146;s and Star Gas Propane&#146;s indebtedness or other financial obligations accelerate the
repayment of borrowings or other amounts owed, we may not have sufficient assets to repay our indebtedness or other financial obligations, including the notes. </FONT></P><P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P><P

31, 2003, all existing indebtedness at Petro ($309.5 million) and all existing indebtedness at Star Gas Propane ($123.2 million) contain change of control provisions at least as restrictive as the change of control provisions under the senior notes.
Accordingly, any event which would be a &#147;change of control&#148; under the senior notes would also be a &#147;change of control&#148; under such other indebtedness and would generally give the holders of such other indebtedness the right to
require the issuer, either Petro or Star Gas Propane, to repurchase the indebtedness at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount. The obligations of Petro and Star Gas Propane to satisfy these optional redemption rights are
structurally senior to our obligation to repurchase the senior notes upon a change of control. If either Star Gas Propane or Petro were unable to satisfy such redemption rights under any issue of indebtedness, there would be an event of default

products principally for space heating purposes. As a result, weather conditions may materially adversely impact our operating results and financial condition. During the peak heating season of October through March, sales of propane represent
approximately 70% to 75% of our annual retail propane volume and sales of home heating oil represent approximately 75% to 80% of our annual home heating oil volume. Actual weather conditions can vary substantially from year to year, significantly
affecting our financial performance. Furthermore, warmer than normal temperatures in one or more regions in which we operate can significantly decrease the total volume we sell and the gross profit realized on those sales and, consequently, our
results of operations. For example, in fiscal 2000 and especially fiscal 2002, temperatures were significantly warmer than normal for the areas in which we sell propane and home heating oil, which adversely affected the amount of net income that we
generated during these periods. In fiscal year 2002, temperatures in our areas of operation were an average of 18.4% warmer than in fiscal year 2001 and 18.0% warmer than normal. We have purchased weather insurance to help minimize the adverse
effect of weather volatility on our cash flows, of which there can be no assurance. Weather variations also affect demand for propane from agricultural customers, because dry weather during the harvest season reduces demand for propane used in crop
drying. Weather conditions also have a significant impact on the demand for both natural gas and electricity because Total Gas &amp; Electric&#146;s customers depend on these products in part for space heating purposes. </FONT></P><P

home heating oil industry is based primarily on customer service and price. Long-standing customer relationships are typical in the industry. It is customary for companies to deliver home heating oil to their customers based upon weather conditions
and historical consumption patterns, without the customer making an affirmative purchase decision. Most companies provide home heating equipment repair service on a 24-hour per day basis. In some cases, homeowners have formed buying cooperatives to
purchase fuel oil from distributors at a price lower than individual customers are otherwise able to obtain. As a result of these factors, it may be difficult for Petro to acquire new customers. </FONT></P><P

adopted by prior management. As a result, during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2001, Total Gas &amp; Electric increased its reserve for bad debts by $6.4 million, of which $5.7 million related to terminated accounts. An additional $6.1 million
of reserve was provided during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2002, of which $5.8 million was for those terminated accounts, leaving an unreserved accounts receivable balance for the terminated accounts of approximately $0.4 million as of
