between the appropriate discount rates required to calculate a net present
value equal to the 1/22/99 closing price of $19.00 using flat $2.20 and
$2.30 distributions representing Star stand alone and Star pro forma,
respectively.
(2) Senior Subordinated and Junior Subordinated / General Partner Units are
assumed to receive no distributions for the third and fourth fiscal quarters
of 1999E.
(3) Terminal value is calculated as a perpetuity by dividing 2002E distribution
by the discount rate.
(4) The Junior Subordinated and General Partner Unit discount is determined by
using a 25% liquidity discount for both Units and a 10% control premium for
a General Partner Unit. The weighted average based upon pro forma Unit
ownership is a discount of 22%.

INTRODUCTION
TRANSACTION PROPOSAL
[_] During 1997, Star Gas Partners Corporation (the "General Partner") and
Petroleum Heat and Power Co., Inc. ("Petro") discussed the idea of a
possible acquisition of Petro by Star Gas Partners, L.P. ("Star Gas" or the
"Partnership"). The overall transaction (the "Transaction") consists of the
following four principal parts:
- The acquisition of Petro by the Partnership;
- A public offering of equity by the Partnership and a private offering of
debt by Petro and the redemption of certain debt and preferred stock of
Petro (the "Financings");
- The withdrawal of Star Gas Corporation as the general partner of the
Partnership and Star Gas Propane, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"),
and the election of Star Gas LLC as the new general partner; and
- Amending the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership and the
Operating Partnership in order to consummate the Transaction.
A.G. Edwards'
Engagement
[_] By letter engagement, dated March 23, 1998, A.G. Edwards & Sons, Inc.
("A.G. Edwards") was engaged by the Special Committee (the "Special
Committee") of the Board of Directors of the General Partner (the "Board")
to act as its financial advisor with respect to the Transaction and to
issue the Special Committee an opinion as to the fairness, from a
financial point of view, to the public common unitholders of Star (the
"Public Common Unitholders"), of the Transaction (the "Fairness Opinion").
[_] The preparation of a fairness opinion is not susceptible to partial
analyses or summary. In rendering its Fairness Opinion, A.G. Edwards
applied its judgment to a variety of complex analyses and assumptions.
A.G. Edwards may have given various analyses more or less weight than other
analyses, and may have deemed various assumptions more or less probable
than other assumptions. The assumptions made and the judgments applied by
A.G. Edwards in rendering its opinion are not readily susceptible to
description beyond that set forth in the written text of the Fairness
Opinion itself.
Page 1
<PAGE>
INTRODUCTION
(continued)
As part of its engagement, A.G. Edwards' activities included, but were not
limited to, the following:
[_] A review of the Form S-4 Registration Statement and exhibits thereto,
including the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, the
Exchange Agreement, the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited
Partnership and the Conveyance and Contribution Agreements.
[_] A review of certain publicly-available Partnership and Petro historical
audited financial statements and certain unaudited interim financial
statements.
[_] A review of certain financial analyses and forecasts of the Partnership
prepared by and reviewed with management of the General Partner and the
views of management of the General Partner regarding the Partnership's
past and current business operations, results thereof, financial
condition and future prospects, including the impact of the Transaction,
as well as information relating to the retail propane distribution
industry and the potential strategic, financial and operational benefits
and challenges anticipated from the Transaction;
[_] A review of certain financial analyses and forecasts of Petro prepared by
and reviewed with management of Petro and the views of management of
Petro regarding Petro's past and current business operations, results
thereof, financial condition and future prospects, including the impact
of the Transaction, as well as information relating to the retail home
heating oil distribution industry and the potential strategic, financial
and operational benefits and challenges anticipated from the Transaction;
[_] A review of the pro forma impact of the Transaction on the Partnership
and Petro;
[_] A review of the publicly reported historical price and trading activity
for the Partnership's Common Units and Petro's Class A Common Stock,
including a comparison of certain financial and stock market information
for the Partnership with similar publicly available information for
certain other companies, the securities of which are publicly traded;
Page 2
<PAGE>
INTRODUCTION
(continued)
[_] A review of the current market environment generally, and the retail
propane distribution environment and the retail home heating oil
distribution environment in particular;
[_] A review of information relating to the financial terms of certain
transactions, including selected mergers and acquisition transactions;
[_] Conversations with PaineWebber regarding the nature and extent of
development of the terms of the Transaction; and
[_] A review of such other information, financial studies, analyses and
investigations, and financial, economic and market criteria that A.G.
Edwards considered relevant.
NATURE OF INFORMATION REVIEWED AND PRESENTED
[_] In rendering its Fairness Opinion, A.G. Edwards has relied upon and
assumed, without independent verification, the completion of the
Financings and the Transaction in accordance with the Amended and
Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, and the accuracy and completeness
of all financial and other information, publicly available, furnished to,
or otherwise discussed with A.G. Edwards for the purposes of the Fairness
Opinion. With respect to financial projections and other information
provided to or otherwise discussed with A.G. Edwards, A.G. Edwards
assumed and was advised by the management of the General Partner and
Petro, respectively, that such projections and other information were
reasonably prepared on a basis that reflects the best currently available
estimates and judgments of the management of the General Partner and
Petro, respectively. A.G. Edwards reviewed numerous sets of projections
for Petro and analyzed what it believed were certain of the major
assumptions embedded within Petro's projections. A.G. Edwards used two
sets of projections for Petro to perform its analyses. A.G. Edwards used
a set of projections based on 30-year weather and a set of projections
based on 15-year weather. The Special Committee did not, however, engage
A.G. Edwards to, and therefore A.G. Edwards did not verify the accuracy
or completeness of any such information. A.G. Edwards has relied upon the
assurances of the management of the General Partner and Petro that the
respective managements are not aware of any facts that would make such
information inaccurate or misleading.
Page 3
<PAGE>
INTRODUCTION
(continued)
[_] In performing its analyses, A.G. Edwards made numerous assumptions
with respect to the retail propane distribution industry and the
retail home heating oil distribution industry, and general business
and economic conditions which are beyond the control of the
Partnership and Petro. The analyses performed by A.G. Edwards are not
necessarily indicative of actual values or actual future results,
which may be significantly more or less favorable than suggested by
such analyses. Such analyses were prepared sole as part of A.G.
Edwards' analysis of the fairness, from a financial point of view, to
the Public Common Unitholders of the Transaction.
[_] This presentation is for the private use of the Special Committee and
may not be distributed to any other parties without A.G. Edwards'
written permission. THE ANALYSES PRESENTED HEREIN RELATE TO THE
FAIRNESS OPINION TO BE ISSUED BY A.G. EDWARDS, BUT DO NOT COMPRISE THE
FAIRNESS OPINION.
[_] A.G. Edwards' Fairness Opinion, in any event, is limited to the
fairness, from a financial point of view, to the Public Common
Unitholders of the Transaction. The Fairness Opinion does not
constitute a recommendation to any Public Common Unitholders as to how
to vote with respect to the Transaction. The Fairness Opinion does not
represent tax or legal advice. The summary description of the analysis
described herein, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
full text of the Fairness Opinion.
[_] The Fairness Opinion is necessarily based upon financial and other
conditions and circumstances existing and disclosed to it as of
February 10, 1999 (except market data, which was as of February 3,
1999.)
ASSUMPTIONS
[_] In rendering it Fairness Opinion, A.G. Edwards has assumed that the
Transaction will be consummated on the terms contained in the Form S-4
Registration Statement and exhibits thereto, including the Amended and
Restated Agreement and the Plan of Merger, the Exchange Agreement, the
Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership and the
Conveyance and Contribution Agreements, without any waiver of any
material terms or conditions by the Partnership or Petro. The
assumption that the Financings are consummated in accordance with the
closing conditions of the Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of
Merger is a material assumption. A.G. Edwards has also assumed that
the withdrawal of Star Gas Corporation as the general partner and the
election of Star Gas LLC as the new general partner will have no
financial impact on the public Common Unitholders.

SUMMARY OF THE TRANSACTION
PRO FORMA STAR GAS UNITS OUTSTANDING
(IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE AND PER UNIT)
[_] There are currently 6,383 Star Gas units outstanding comprised of 3,859
common units, 2,396 subordinated units and 128 implied general partner
("GP") units. The subordinated units and GP units are currently assets of
Petro.
[_] There are currently 26,463 shares of Petro common stock outstanding held
by public shareholders and "affiliates." The public holds 14,327 Class A
shares, 11 Class B shares and 291 Class C shares. The "affiliates" hold
11,834 shares which include 9,528 Class A shares and 2,306 Class C
shares.
[_] Each shareholder of Petro will receive a certain number of units in Star
Gas such that the implied consideration paid for each Petro share
averages $1.91 based on A.G. Edwards' estimates of the value of the units
being offered to Petro as consideration.
[_] All of the publicly held 14,327 Class A shares and 291 Class C shares,
and a portion of the "affiliate" held Class A shares (5,243) and Class C
shares (1,328) will receive .11758 units of newly created senior
subordinated units for each share (1,719 units to the public and 773
units to the "affiliates", 2,492 units in total) with an attached
Contingent Unit ("CU"). See the following page for a discussion of the
Contingent Units. A.G. Edwards estimates an implied value for these units
of $16.22/unit. The remaining "affiliates" of Petro not receiving senior
subordinated units, who hold a total of 5,262 shares, will receive .14318
units for a total of 753 junior subordinated and GP units, both of which
will also include attached CUs. A.G. Edwards estimates an implied value
for these units of $13.35/unit.
[_] The 2,396 subordinated units and 128 GP units currently owned by Petro will
effectively be retired in the Transaction

DESCRIPTION OF CONTINGENT UNITS
[_] During the five year period, beginning with the first full four
quarters following the Merger, the senior subordinated units, junior
subordinated units and general partner interests will have the right
to receive up to 909,000 senior subordinated units upon Petro meeting
a "Contingent Unit Test." Each time the Contingent Unit Test is met
(but not more frequently than once every four quarter period), the
senior subordinated units, junior subordinated units and general
partner interests will receive an aggregate of 303,000 senior
subordinated units, subject to a maximum of 909,000 senior
subordinated units. The Contingent Unit Test will be met during any
four quarter period when distributable cash flow per unit attributable
to Petro exceeds $2.90.

SUMMARY OBSERVATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS
POTENTIAL STRUCTURAL AND QUALITATIVE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES TO THE
PUBLIC COMMON UNITHOLDERS.
[_] Potential advantages to Public Common Unitholders
- Increase in the MQD to $2.30
- Priority in payment of MQD and arrearages over Senior Subordinated,
Junior Subordinated and G.P. unitholders during subordination period
- Distributions on Senior Subordinated, Junior Subordinated and G.P.
units limited to amount of distributable cash generated during
subordination period
- Conversion of Contingent Units based on actual results versus
adjusted for normal weather
- Earliest date on which the subordination period would end
extended to October 2002
- Potentially a greater number of acquisition growth opportunities in
the retail home heating oil distribution industry than in the
retail propane distribution industry and at historically lower
acquisition multiples
- Increase in market capitalization with potential for more liquidity
- Diversifies geographic customer base
[_] Potential disadvantage to Public Common Unitholders
- Petro is several times the Partnership's size, thus changing the
nature of the Partnership's business
- Petro's history of operational and financial difficulties
- Increases seasonality and weather risk
- Taxable income will increase at a greater rate
- No assurance that Petro can continue improvements (reduce attrition
and improve profit margins) while making attractive acquisitions
- Potential dilution in the event the Partnership pro forma for the
Transaction fails to meet its projections

Range $ 9.19 - 15.33
Adjusted Range (d) $12.40 - 14.31
--------------
Assumed value (f) $13.35
--------------
(a) Represents required rate of return during subordination period, which
is assumed to continue through the end of fiscal 2002. Thereafter, the
rate of return is assumed to equal that of the common units, for a
blended required rate of return of 13.0% to 16.5% for the Senior sub
and 18.4% to 22.6% for the Junior sub and GP units.
(b) Based on a $2.30 annualized MQD.
(c) Based on a discount to the common unit's average closing price for the
last 20 trading days as of 2/3/99 of $19.08.
(d) Represents the middle values of both the range of highs and lows.
(e) Implied required rate of return, trading yield and discount to common
at a unit price of $16.22 are 21.1% during subordination (13.3%
blended), 14.2%, and 15.0%, respectively.
(f) Implied required rate of return, trading yield and discount to common
at a unit price of $13.35 are 28.8% during subordination (16.0%

MERGER PREMIUMS TO MARKET VALUE ANALYSIS
[_] A.G. Edwards analyzed the premium of the consideration to be received by
Petro Common Stockholders and compared the premium to Petro's current and
historical prices. These premiums were compared to premiums paid in
acquisitions of majority or remaining interests announced and completed
between January 1, 1996 and February 3, 1999 where the target's share price
one week prior to the announcement date was either (i) equal to or less
than $5, (ii) greater than $5 and less than $10, or (iii) equal to or
greater than $10. (See Appendix F - "Merger Premiums to Market Value
Analysis")

SUMMARY OF THE TRANSACTION
PRO FORMA STAR GAS UNITS OUTSTANDING
(IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT PER SHARE AND PER UNIT)
[_] There are currently 6,383 Star Gas units outstanding comprised of
3,859 common units, 2,396 subordinated units and 128 implied general
partner ("GP") units. The subordinated units and GP units are
currently assets of Petro.
[_] There are currently 26,463 shares of Petro common stock outstanding
held by public shareholders and "affiliates." The public holds 14,327
Class A shares, 11 Class B shares and 291 Class C shares. The
"affiliates" hold 11,834 shares which include 9,528 Class A shares and
2,306 Class C shares.
[_] Each shareholder of Petro will receive a certain number of units in
Star Gas such that the implied consideration paid for each Petro share
averages $1.91 based on A.G. Edwards' estimates of the value of the
units being offered to Petro as consideration.
[_] All of the publicly held 14,327 Class A shares and 291 Class C shares,
and a portion of the "affiliate" held Class A shares (5,243) and Class
C shares (1,328) will receive .11758 units of newly created senior
subordinated units for each share (1,719 units to the public and 773
units to the "affiliates", 2,492 units in total) with an attached
Contingent Unit ("CU"). See the following page for a discussion of the
Contingent Units. A.G. Edwards estimates an implied value for these
units of $16.22/unit (see page D-3). The remaining "affiliates" of
Petro not receiving senior subordinated units, who hold a total of
5,262 shares, will receive .14318 units for a total of 753 junior
subordinated and GP units, both of which will also include attached
CUs. A.G. Edwards estimates an implied value for these units
$13.55/unit (see page D-6).
[_] The 2,396 subordinated units and 128 GP units currently owned by Petro
will effectively be retired in the Transaction.

SUMMARY OF THE TRANSACTION
PRO FORMA STAR GAS UNITS OUTSTANDING
(IN THOUSANDS)
(continued)
Description of Contingent Units
[_] During the five year period, beginning with the first full four
quarters following the Merger, the senior subordinated units, junior
subordinated units and general partner interests will have the right
to receive up to 909,000 senior subordinated units upon Petro meeting
a "Contingent Unit Test." Each time the Contingent Unit Test is met
(but not more frequently than once every four quarter period), the
senior subordinated units, junior subordinated units and general
partner interests will receive an aggregate of 303,000 senior
subordinated units, subject to a maximum of 909,000 senior
subordinated units. The Contingent Unit Test will be met during any
four quarter period when distributable cash flow per unit attributable
to Petro exceeds $2.90.

DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW ANALYSIS
[_] A.G. Edwards performed discounted cash flow analyses for Petro, Star Gas
and Star Gas Pro Forma. For Petro, A.G. Edwards used projected tax-adjusted
operating cash flows for 1999 through 2002, terminal values calculated on
2002 operating cash flow and discount rates based on the related weighted
average cost of capital. For Star Gas and Star Gas Pro Forma, A.G. Edwards
used projected DCF for 1999 through 2002, terminal values calculated on
2002 DCF and discount rates based on the related cost of equity.
Assumptions:
[_] Weighted average cost of capital ("WACC")

DISCOUNTED CASH FLOW ANALYSIS
[_] A. G. Edwards performed discounted cash flow analyses for Petro, Star Gas
and Star Gas Pro Forma. For Petro, A. G. Edwards used projected tax-
adjusted operating cash flows for 1999 through 2002, terminal values
calculated on 2002 operating cash flow, and discount rates based on the
related weighted average cost of capital. For Star Gas and Star Gas Pro
Forma, A. G. Edwards used projected DCF for 1999 through 2002, terminal
values calculated on 2002 DCF and discount rates based on the related cost
of equity.
Assumptions:
[_] Weighted average cost of capital ("WACC")
- Petro Stand Alone of 13.4% to 13.9% (calculated WACC of 13.6%)
[_] Cost of Equity
- Star Gas Stand Alone of 9.5% to 10.3% (calculated cost of equity of 9.9%)
- Star Gas Pro Forma of 9.5% to 10.3% (calculated cost of equity of 9.9%)
[_] Terminal value operating cash flow multiple
- Petro Stand Alone of 8.0x to 10.0x (calculated 2000 operating cash flow
multiple of 9.1x)
[_] Terminal value DCF multiple
- Star Gas Stand Alone and Star Gas Pro Forma of 8.5x to 10.5x (calculated
2000 DCF multiple of 9.5x)
