1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    NATURE OF OPERATIONS

    The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas
Petrochemical Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, TPC Holding Corp.,
collectively referred to as (the "Company"). The Company through its facility in
Houston, Texas is the second largest producer of butadiene, the largest producer
of butene-1, and the third largest producer of methyl tertiary-butyl ether
("MTBE"), in North America, in terms of production capacity. In addition, the
Company is the sole producer of diisobutylene and isobutylene concentrate in the
United States and is the largest domestic merchant supplier of high purity
isobutylene to the chemical market. The Company's products include: (i)
butadiene, primarily used to produce synthetic rubber; (ii) MTBE, used as an
oxygenate and octane enhancer in gasoline; (iii) n-butylenes (butene-1 and
butene-2), used in the manufacture of plastic resins, fuel additives and
synthetic alcohols; and (iv) specialty isobutylenes, primarily used in the
production of specialty rubbers, lubricant additives, detergents and coatings.

    The Company's principal feedstocks are crude butadiene, isobutane and
methanol. The Company purchases a significant portion of its crude butadiene
requirements at prices that are adjusted based on the Company's selling price of
butadiene as well as the cost of natural gas used to produce butadiene, thereby
providing the Company with a fixed profit on such sales. Methanol and isobutane
are purchased at prices linked to prevailing market prices.

    GENERAL

    The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form 10Q and Rule 10-01 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, have been made which are necessary to
fairly present the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 1998 and
the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim period ended
December 31, 1998. The results of the interim period should not be regarded as
necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the entire year. The
financial information presented herein should be read in conjunction with the
audited financial statements and notes included in the Company's Form 10-K
thereto, for the year ended June 30, 1998. The June 30, 1998 balance sheet was
derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures
required by generally accepted accounting principles. Certain amounts from prior
periods have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

    The Bank Credit Agreement provides for term loans in the amount of $130
million, an ESOP loan of $10 million, and a revolving credit facility of up to
$40 million. Quarterly principal and interest payments are made under the Bank
Credit Agreement. The final payments under the ESOP Loan, Term A Loan and Term B
Loan are due on June 30, 2001, December 31, 2002 and June 30, 2004,
respectively. The Revolving Credit Loan facility is currently scheduled to
expire on December 31, 2002. The debt under the Bank Credit Agreement bears
interest, at the option of the borrower, based on the LIBOR rate plus a margin
(2.5% and 3% for Term A and Term B, respectively at December 31, 1998) or the
greater of the prime rate and the federal funds rate plus 1/2% plus a margin
(1.5% at December 31, 1998). Substantially all assets of the Company are pledged
as collateral under the Bank Credit Agreement. The Senior Subordinated Notes are
due 2006 and bear interest at 11 1/8% payable semiannually on January 1 and July
1. The Discount Notes are due 2007 and bear interest at 131/2% payable
semiannually on January 1 and July 1 beginning in 2002. The Bank Credit
Agreement, the Senior Subordinated Notes and the Discount Notes include certain
restrictive covenants which include, but are not limited to, limitations on
capital expenditures, indebtedness, investments and sales of assets and
subsidiary stock. Additionally, the Bank Credit Agreement requires the Company
to maintain certain financial ratios. On June 30, 1998 the Company obtained an
amendment to the Bank Credit Agreement to update the financial ratios relating
to fixed charge coverage and debt to EBITDA for fiscal 1999 and part of fiscal
2000.

4.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

    PURCHASE COMMITMENTS

    The Company has purchase commitments incident to the ordinary conduct of
business. The prices of such purchase commitments are based on formulas, which
are determined from the prevailing market rate for such products. These
commitments generally have cancellation provisions given proper notification.

    LITIGATION

    The Company is involved in various routine legal proceedings which are
incidental to the business. Management of the Company is vigorously defending
such matters and is of the opinion that their ultimate resolution will not have
a material impact on the Company.

ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

    The Company's operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and
regulations administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the U.S.
Coast Guard, the Army Corps of engineers, the Texas Natural Resource
Conservation Commission, the Texas General Land Office, the Texas Department of
Health and various local regulatory agencies. The Company holds all required
permits and registrations necessary to comply substantially with all applicable
environmental laws and regulations, including permits and registrations for
wastewater discharges, solid and hazardous waste disposal and air emissions, and
management believes that the Company is in substantial compliance with all such
laws and regulations. While management does not expect the cost of compliance
with existing environmental laws will have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, there can be
no assurance that future legislation, regulation or judicial or administrative
decisions will not have such an effect.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
        OF OPERATIONS.


    The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto of the Company included
elsewhere in this report.

OVERVIEW

    The Company's revenues are derived primarily from merchant market sales of
butadiene, MTBE, n-butylenes (butene-1 and butene-2) and specialty isobutylenes
(isobutylene concentrate, high purity isobutylene, and diisobutylene). The
Company's results of operations are affected by a number of factors, including
variations in market demand, production volumes, and the pricing of its products
and primary raw materials. The Company believes that the pricing for its
principal products is primarily dependent on the balance between the global
supply and North American demand for each product, the cost structure of the
various global producers (including their cost of raw materials) and from time
to time, other external factors, such as the implementation of the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990, which has significantly increased the demand for MTBE.
Historically, the Company has successfully mitigated the cyclicality of the
markets for certain of its end products by entering into contracts with pricing
which allows for a fixed profit by linking prices directly or indirectly to raw
material costs. In addition, the Company has attempted to optimize the use of
isobutylene, an intermediate feedstock produced by the Company, to produce MTBE
or higher margin specialty products depending on prevailing market conditions.

REVENUES

    The Company's revenues are a function of the volume of products sold by the
Company and the prices for such products. The following tables set forth the
Company's historical revenues and the percentages of historical revenues by
product and volume of products sold, for the three and six months ended December
31, 1998 and 1997.

</TABLE>


THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER
 31, 1997

  REVENUES

    The Company's revenues decreased by approximately 26%, or $36.2 million, to
$104.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from $141.1 million
for the three months ended December 31, 1997. Butadiene sales revenues decreased
approximately 27% as a result of lower sales prices partially offset by higher
sales volumes. Butadiene sales prices have dropped significantly as compared to
the prior year due to an oversupply of imported product in the market. MTBE
sales revenues decreased approximately 21% as a result of lower sales prices as
compared to the prior year quarter partially offset by higher sales volumes.
MTBE prices are significantly lower as a result of its relationship to gasoline
and crude oil prices, which fell sharply during the period. N-butylene sales
revenues also decreased over the prior year quarter due to lower sales prices
and lower sales volumes. Specialty isobutylene sales revenues decreased due to
lower sales volumes of isobutylene concentrate, which was partially offset by
higher sales volumes of high purity isobutylene and diisobutylene. Sales volumes
of isobutylene concentrate were lower due to a planned outage at one of the
Company's major customers. Improvements in high purity isobutylene and
diisobutylene sales volume is attributable to customer demand.

    GROSS PROFIT

    Gross profit decreased by approximately 31%, or $3.5 million, to $7.7
million for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from $11.2 million for the
three months ended December 31, 1997. Gross margin during this period decreased
to 7.3% from 7.9%. This decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to
lower MTBE margins and lower sales volumes of n-butylenes and specialty
isobutylenes. During the current quarter despite lower butadiene sales prices,
the Company's margin increased due to lower spot crude butadiene prices. MTBE
margins were lower as compared to the prior quarter due to lower sales prices,
however a portion of the price decline was offset by lower feedstock costs.

    INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

    Income from operations decreased by approximately 37%, or $3.5 million, to
$6.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from $9.5 million for
the three months ended December 31, 1997. Operating margin during this period
decreased to 5.7% from 6.7%. This decrease in income from operations was
primarily due to the same factors contributing to the decrease in gross profit
described above. An increase in selling, general and administrative costs
attributable to software integration and business development contributed to the
decline in income from operations.

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
 1997

  REVENUES

    The Company's revenues decreased by approximately 26%, or $71.6 million, to
$204.9 million for the six months ended December 31, 1998 from $276.5 million
for the six months ended December 31, 1997. Butadiene sales revenues decreased
approximately 27% as a result of lower sales prices partially offset by higher
sales volumes. Butadiene sales prices have dropped significantly as compared to
the prior year due to an oversupply of imported product in the market. MTBE
sales revenues decreased approximately 25% as a result of lower sales prices as
compared to the prior year partially offset by higher sales volumes. MTBE prices
are significantly lower as a result of its relationship to gasoline and crude
oil prices. N-butylene sale revenues also decreased over the prior year due to
lower sales prices and lower sales volumes. Specialty isobutylene sales revenues
decreased due to lower sales volumes of isobutylene concentrate, which was
partially offset by higher sales volumes of high purity isobutylene and
diisobutylene. Sales volumes of isobutylene concentrate were lower due to a
planned outage at one of the Company's major customers. Improvements in high
purity isobutylene and diisobutylene sales volume is attributable to customer
demand.

    GROSS PROFIT

    Gross profit decreased by approximately 21%, or $5.4 million, to $19.8
million for the six months ended December 31, 1998 from $25.2 million for the
six months ended December 31, 1997. Gross margin during this period increased to
9.7% from 9.1%. This decrease in gross profit was primarily attributable to
lower MTBE margins and lower sales volumes of specialty isobutylenes. During the
current period, despite lower butadiene sales prices, the Company's margin
increased due to lower spot crude butadiene prices. MTBE margins were lower as
compared to the prior year due to lower sales prices, however a portion of the
price decline was offset by lower feedstock costs.

  INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

    Income from operations decreased by approximately 29%, or $6.3 million, to
$15.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 1998 from $22.0 million for
the six months ended December 31, 1997. Operating margin during this period
decreased to 7.7% from 7.9%. This decrease in income from operations was
primarily due to the same factors contributing to the decrease in gross profit
described above. An increase in selling, general and administrative costs
attributable to software integration and business development contributed to the
decline in income from operations.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

  CASH FLOWS

SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31,
 1997

    Net cash provided by operating activities was $11.0 million for the six
months ended December 31, 1998 compared to $21.7 million for the six months
ended December 31, 1997. The decrease of $10.7 million was attributable to
decreased net income and increases in working capital. Net cash used in
investing activities was $9.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 1998
compared to $3.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 1997. The
increase of $6.3 million was attributable to increased capital expenditures. Net
cash used in financing activities was $2.0 million for the six months ended
December 31, 1998 compared to $18.3 million for the six months ended December
31, 1997. The decrease of $16.3 million was attributable to the change in bank
overdraft and lower repayments of long-term debt and the revolver.

  LIQUIDITY

    The Company's liquidity needs arise primarily from principal and interest
payments under the Bank Credit Agreement and the Subordinated Notes. The
Company's primary source of funds to meet debt service requirements is net cash
flow provided by operating activities. Operating cash flow is significantly
impacted by raw materials cost as well as the selling price and volume variances
of finished goods. The Company enters into supply contracts for certain of its
products in order to mitigate the impact of changing prices. Additionally, the
Company has a $40 million Revolving Credit Facility, of which $12.6 million was
in use at December 31, 1998, to provide adequate funds for ongoing operations,
working capital and planned capital expenditures. The Company believes that the
availability of funds under the Revolving Credit Facility are sufficient to
cover any current liquidity needs which could arise as a result of negative
working capital. The Company's ability to borrow is limited by the terms of the
Bank Credit Agreement, the Subordinated Notes and the Discount Notes. The Bank
Credit Agreement and the Subordinated Notes include certain restrictive
covenants, which include but are not limited to, the maintenance of certain
financial ratios and limitations on capital expenditures, indebtedness,
investments and sales of assets and subsidiary stock.

  CASH BONUS PLAN

    In connection with the Acquisition, the Predecessor established a $35
million Cash Bonus Plan covering substantially all employees of the Predecessor
(or certain affiliates of the Predecessor) and covering certain third-party
contractors who have contributed to the past success of the Predecessor. During
the six months ended December 31, 1998, $3.9 million of this amount was paid to
eligible participants and the remaining $13.7 million will be made in future
quarterly installments.

                                       16
<PAGE>
  CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

    The Company's capital expenditures relate principally to improving operating
efficiencies and maintaining environmental compliance. Capital expenditures for
the six months ended December 31, 1998 were $10.8 million. The Company expenses
approximately $20 million annually for plant maintenance. These maintenance
costs are not treated as capital expenditures.


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

    During 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128 "Earnings per
Share," SFAS No. 129 "Disclosure of Information about Capital Structure," SFAS
No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income," and SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information." During 1998, the FASB issued
SFAS No. 132 "Employers Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement
Benefits," and SFAS No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging
Activities." The Company has adopted the provisions of SFAS No. 128, SFAS No.
129, SFAS 130, SFAS 131 and SFAS 132 with no material revisions to the
disclosure in the financial statements. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal
quarters of fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company will analyze
this pronouncement to determine what, if any, additional disclosures will be
required thereunder.

YEAR 2000 CONVERSION

    The Company has recognized the need to ensure that its systems, equipment
and operations will not be adversely impacted by the change to the calendar year
2000. As such, the Company has taken steps to identify areas of risk and has
begun addressing these issues. The Company is currently in the process of
installing an upgraded information technology (IT) system and anticipates that
it will be fully implemented by mid calendar year 1999. The Company made the
decision to upgrade its IT system prior to concerns surrounding the year 2000.
Management believes the full implementation of this IT system will ensure the
Company's financial systems are compliant with the year 2000. The Company is
also evaluating its non-IT systems, consisting primarily of plant processing
equipment, for year 2000 compliance. The Company has not fully quantified these
areas but they are not expected to have a material impact on the Company's
financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In addition to
evaluating its own compliance with the year 2000, the Company is currently
requesting all of its major customers and suppliers to supply it with a report
of the status of their compliance. At this point, the Company has not received
sufficient responses to determine its exposure to non-compliance by a third
party. The Company is in the process of preparing a contingency plan for the
year 2000.
