Explanation of Responses:
Note 1: On December 28, 1997, FFP Partners, L.P., completed a restructuring
under which the non-real estate
assets and businesses previously owned and conducted by FFP Partners were
transferred to FFP Marketing
Company, Inc. In connection therewith, each holder of FFP Partners units
received one common share of FFP
Marketing for each unit of FFP Partners held on December 28, 1997. The common
shares reflected hereon were
received in connection with this restructuring by Thrift-Way, Inc. (83,417
common shares) and FFP Partners
Management Company, Inc. (75,210 common shares) and represent Mr. St.Clair's
proportionate pecuniary interest
in such shares (33.3% for shares held by Thrift-Way and 1.9% for shares held by
FFP Partners Management
Company). Mr. St.Clair is an officer and director of these companies and has a
direct or indirect ownership interest
in each of the
companies.
Note 2: As a result of the restructuring referred to in Note 1, holders of
options to purchase units of FFP Partners
received options to purchase a like number of common shares of FFP Marketing.
The terms of the options so
acquired are identical to the options to purchase FFP Partners units except
that the exercise price was allocated
between the options to acquire FFP Partners units and FFP Marketing common
shares based on the relative closing
prices on the American Stock Exchange of the two securities for the month
following the restructuring. All options
are exercisable
currently.
