operated  convenience  stores,  truck stops, and self-service motor fuel outlets

activities.  The  restructuring,  which was approved by FFPLP's  unitholders  on
December 26, 1997 and completed on December 28, 1997, separated FFPLP's non-real
estate  assets  from its real estate  assets by  transferring  FFPLP's  fuel and
merchandise  marketing  assets  and  other  businesses  conducted  by it to  FFP
Marketing.  Pursuant  to the  terms  of  the  restructuring,  FFPLP  unitholders
continue to own their units in FFPLP and also  automatically  received one share
of FFP Marketing Common Stock for each FFPLP unit owned.

     7HBF owns,  directly or  indirectly,  varying  percentages  of the stock of
several separate companies (the "Affiliated Companies"),  identified in Schedule
I attached hereto and specifically  incorporated herein by reference,  which own
partnership  interests in FFPLP. Garland R. McDonald owns varying percentages of
the stock of  two of the  Affiliated  Companies. As a result  of such ownership,

Marketing  and Garland R.  McDonald  received  beneficial  ownership  of 263,007
shares of Common Stock of FFP Marketing upon completion of the restructuring.

restructuring of FFPLP which was completed on December 28, 1997.

     None of 7HBF, the General Partner, John D. Harvison, Randall W. Harvison or
