NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
OCTOBER 31, 1995
(unaudited)
A. The financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion
of management, necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods
presented. All adjustments to the financial statements were of a normal,
recurring nature.
B. The propane industry is seasonal in nature with peak activity during the
winter months. Therefore, the results of operations for the periods ended
October 31, 1995 and October 31, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the
results to be expected for a full year.
C. Inventories consist of:
October 31, July 31,

-------------- --------------
Liquefied propane gas and related products $46,791 $37,550
Appliances, parts and supplies 6,579 6,540
============== ==============
$53,370 $44,090

In addition to inventories on hand, the Partnership enters into contracts
to buy product for supply purposes. All such contracts have terms of less
than one year and call for payment based on market prices at date of
delivery.

============== ==============
D. The Partnership is threatened with or named as a defendant in various
lawsuits which, among other items, claim damages for product liability. It
is not possible to determine the ultimate disposition of these matters;
however, management is of the opinion that there are no known claims or
contingent claims that are likely to have a material adverse effect on the
results of operations or financial condition of the Partnership.
E. On September 13, 1995, the Partnership paid a cash distribution of $0.50
per unit for the quarter ended July 31, 1995. On November 17, 1995, the
Partnership declared its first-quarter cash distribution of $0.50 per unit,
payable December 14, 1995. On November 18, 1994, the Partnership declared
an initial cash distribution of $0.65 per unit, payable December 14, 1994.
This initial cash distribution covered the period from July 5, 1994, when
the Partnership began operations, to October 31, 1994, the end of the first
full fiscal quarter. Accordingly, the distribution was prorated.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following is a discussion of the results of operations and liquidity
and capital resources of the Ferrellgas, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership").
Because the Operating Partnership accounts for all of the consolidated assets,
sales and earnings of the Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (the "Partnership" or
"MLP"), a separate discussion of the results of operations and liquidity and
capital resources of the Partnership is not presented.
Ferrellgas Finance Corp. has nominal assets and does not conduct any
operations. Accordingly, a discussion of the results of operations and liquidity
and capital resources is not presented.
Results of Operations
- ---------------------
The propane industry is seasonal in nature with peak activity during the
winter months. Due to the seasonality of the business, results of operations for
the three months ended October 31, 1995 and 1994, are not necessarily indicative
of the results to be expected for a full year. Other factors affecting the
results of operations include competitive conditions, demand for product,
variations in weather and fluctuations in propane prices.
Three Months Ended October 31, 1995 vs. October 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------------------------
Total Revenues. Total revenues increased 4.3% to $124,588,000 as compared
to $119,413,000 for the prior period. The increase is principally due to
revenues contributed by businesses acquired in November 1994, partially offset
by weather related decreases in agricultural demand and declines in trading and
chemical feedstocks activity. The agricultural industry experienced a wet spring
and dry summer which generated approximately $4 million less propane demand due
to smaller, dryer grain and tobacco harvests. Also offsetting the acquisition
growth, is an approximate $7 million reduction in trading and chemical
feedstocks revenues due to unusually strong trading markets and petrochemical
demand in the prior year.
Gross Profit. Gross profit increased 6.7% to $55,479,000 as compared to
$52,002,000 for the prior period. Retail operations results improved due to an
increase in gallons sold to 131,368,000 gallons as compared to 122,309,000 for
the prior period attributable to acquisition related growth, offset by a slight
decrease in retail margins due to higher cost of product and aggressive pricing
strategies by competitors. Gross profit generated from trading and chemical
feedstocks sales declined due to the low market volatility and the petrochemical
industry slow down as compared to the prior year.
Operating Expenses. Operating expenses increased 16.6% to $40,870,000 as
compared to $35,051,000 for the prior period. The increase is principally
attributable to acquisition related increases in personnel costs, plant and
office expenses, and vehicle and other expenses.
Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense
increased 16.5% to $8,326,000 as compared to $7,147,000 for the prior period
primarily due to acquisitions of propane businesses.
Net Loss. Net loss increased to $7,378,000 as compared to $673,000 for the
prior period primarily due to the acquisition driven increases in operating
expense, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expense,
vehicle lease expense, and interest expense which were not offset by the
increase in gross margin due to the seasonality of LP sales.
11
Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------
The ability of the Operating Partnership to satisfy its obligations is
dependent upon future performance, which will be subject to prevailing economic,
financial, business and weather conditions and other factors, many of which are
beyond its control. For the fiscal year ending July 31, 1996, the General
Partner believes that the Operating Partnership will generate sufficient Cash
from Operations (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) to meet its
obligations and enable it to distribute the Minimum Quarterly Distribution
($0.50 per Unit) on all Common Units and Subordinated Units. Future maintenance
and working capital needs of the Operating Partnership are expected to be
provided by cash generated from future operations, existing cash balances and
the working capital borrowing facility. In order to fund expansive capital
projects and future acquisitions, the Operating Partnership may borrow on
existing bank lines or the MLP may issue additional Common Units. Toward this
purpose, the MLP maintains a shelf registration statement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission registering 2,400,000 Common Units
representing limited partner interests in the MLP. The Common Units may be
issued from time to time by the MLP in connection with the Operating
Partnership's acquisition of other businesses, properties or securities in
business combination transactions.
On November 17, 1995, the Partnership declared a cash distribution of $0.50
per unit, payable December 14, 1995.
Cash Flows From Operating Activities. Cash used by operating activities was
$14,392,000 for the three months ended October 31, 1995. This was primarily due
to the following seasonal effects: increases in accounts receivable due to the
seasonal increase in customer deliveries towards the latter part of the first
quarter and inventory purchases in preparation for the winter heating season,
partially offset by the increase in accounts payable due to effective working
capital management.
Cash Flows From Investing Activities. During the three months ended October
31, 1995, the Operating Partnership made aggregate growth and maintenance
capital expenditures of $3,649,000 consisting primarily of the following: 1)
additions to Partnership-owned customer tanks and cylinders, 2) relocating and
upgrading district plant facilities, and 3) development and upgrading computer
equipment and software. Capital requirements for repair and maintenance of
property, plant and equipment are relatively low since technological change is
limited and the useful lives of propane tanks and cylinders, the Operating
Partnership's principal physical assets, are generally long. The Operating
Partnership maintains its vehicle and transportation equipment fleet by leasing
light- and medium-duty trucks and tractors. The General Partner believes vehicle
leasing is a cost effective method for meeting the Partnership's transportation
equipment needs. The Partnership does not have any material commitments of funds
for capital expenditures other than to support the current level of operations.
During the three months ended October 31, 1995, the Operating Partnership
made total acquisition capital expenditures of $6,321,000 (including working
capital acquired of $360,000). This amount was funded by $1,650,000 cash,
$3,200,000 issuance of MLP equity units, and $1,471,000 other costs and
consideration. The Partnership continues seeking to expand its operations
through strategic acquisitions of smaller retail propane operations located
throughout the United States. These acquisitions will be funded through internal
cash flow, external borrowings or the issuance of additional Partnership
interests.
Cash Flows From Financing Activities. During the three months ended October
31, 1995, the Operating Partnership borrowed $19,753,000 from its Credit
Facility to fund business acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital
needs.
12
Effects of Inflation. In the past the Partnership has generally been able
to adjust its sales price of product in response to market demand, cost of
product, competitive factors and other industry trends. Consequently, changing
prices as a result of inflationary pressures has not had a material adverse
effect on profitability although revenues may be affected. Inflation has not
materially impacted the results of operations and management does not believe
normal inflationary pressures will have a material adverse effect on the
profitability of the Partnership in the future.
