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:

      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.

     of  management,  necessary  for a fair  statement  of the  interim  periods
     presented.  All  adjustments to the financial  statements were of a normal,

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.

      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.

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.

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.
