TEXAS PETROCHEMICALS CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
NATURE OF OPERATIONS
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas
Petrochemicals Corporation and its wholly owned subsidiary, Texas Butylene
Chemical Company, collectively referred to as (the "Company"). The Company
through its facility in Houston, Texas is the largest producer of butadiene and
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, which 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 September 30, 1997
and the results of its operations and cash flows for the interim period ended
September 30, 1997. 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, 1997. The June 30, 1997 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 provided 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 September 30, 1997) or the
greater of the prime rate and the federal funds rate plus 1/2% plus a margin
(1.5% at September 30, 1997). 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 Bank Credit Agreement and the Senior Subordinated 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 July 31, 1997 the Company
obtained an amendment to the Bank Credit Agreement to waive the debt to EBITDA
ratio at June 30, 1997 and to update the financial ratios relating to fixed
charge coverage and debt to EBITDA for fiscal 1998.

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.

<PAGE>
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 months ended September 30,
1997 and 1996.

====== === ====== ===
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
REVENUES
The Company's revenues increased by approximately 6%, or $8.0 million, to
$135.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $127.4 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1996. Butadiene sales revenues
increased over 30% as a result of higher sales volumes. Butadiene sales continue
to remain strong as a result of market demand and increased production levels.
MTBE sales revenues were lower as a result of lower sales volumes during the
current period partially offset by higher sales prices. Sales volumes of MTBE
are lower due to the shift in isobutylene production, an intermediate feedstock,
to the production of isobutylene concentrate. Sales volumes of isobutylene
concentrate have returned to more historical levels due to improvements in
market fundamentals. Sales of high-purity isobutylene and diisobutylene were
relatively unchanged. N-butylene sales revenue increased significantly due to
higher sales volumes. Sales volumes of butene-1 increased 22% due to an
unplanned shutdown of a major competitor in the market. The Company was able to
successfully increase its butene-1 production rates to meet this demand from
customers. Sales volumes of butene-2 also increased as a result of market
fundamentals, which made butene-2 a viable feedstock alternative.
9
<PAGE>
GROSS PROFIT
Gross profit increased by approximately 71%, or $7.4 million, to $17.8
million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $10.4 million for the
three months ended September 30, 1996. Gross margin during this period increased
to 13.1% from 8.2%. This increase was primarily attributable to higher MTBE
margins. During the current quarter MTBE sales prices increased an average of
11% compared to the prior year quarter. The price increase was attributable to a
shortage of prompt MTBE bbls. in the market and a strong driving season.
Improvements were also noted in MTBE feedstock prices with lower isobutane cost,
which were partially offset by higher methanol costs. Additionally, increased
sales volumes and sales prices for butene-1 during the current quarter
attributed to higher gross profit.
INCOME FROM OPERATIONS
Income from operations increased by approximately 52%, or $4.3 million, to
$12.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 1997 from $8.3 million
for the three months ended September 30, 1996. Operating margin during this
period increased to 9.3% from 6.5%. This increase in income from operations and
operating margin was primarily due to the same factors contributing to the
increase in gross profit and gross margin described above. The increase was
partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative costs
attributable to an increase in variable compensation paid to employees as a
result of improved profitability levels and increased business development
activity during the current quarter.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
CASH FLOWS
THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1997 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED
SEPTEMBER 30, 1996
Net cash provided by operating activities was $4.9 million for the three
months ended September 30, 1997 compared to $4.7 million for the three months
ended September 30, 1996. The increase of $0.2 million was attributable to
increased profitability offset by changes in working capital as a result of
timing differences in receipts and disbursements of cash. Net cash used in
investing activities was $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30,
1997 compared to $351.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996.
The decrease of $350.4 million was attributable to the Acquisition of the
Company during the prior year. Net cash provided by (used in) financing
activities was $(3.9) million for the three months ended September 30, 1997
compared to $346.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 1996. The
change of $350.7 million was attributable to the financing of the Acquisition of
the Company during the prior year.
10
<PAGE>
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 $10 million was in
use at September 30, 1997, 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 and the Subordinated 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. On July 31, 1997 the Company obtained an amendment to the Bank
Credit Agreement to waive the debt to EBITDA ratio at June 30, 1997 and to
update the financial ratios relating to fixed charge coverage and debt to EBITDA
for fiscal 1998.
CASH BONUS PLAN
In connection with the Acquisition, the Company established a $35 million
Cash Bonus Plan for certain employees of the Company and certain employees of
its independent contractors. During the three months ended September 30, 1997,
$1.9 million of this amount was paid to eligible participants and the remaining
payments will be made in quarterly installments.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
The Company's capital expenditures relate principally to improving operating
efficiencies and maintaining environmental compliance. Capital expenditures for
three months ended September 30, 1997 were $1.9 million. The Company expenses
approximately $20 million annually for plant maintenance. These maintenance
costs are not treated as capital expenditures.
DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
This document may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Although the
Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward looking
statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that
