         All Star Gas Corporation is offering to purchase all $127,200,000 of
its 12 7/8% senior secured notes due 2004 and soliciting consents to the
amendment of the indenture governing the notes. The aggregate consideration for
the purchase and consent is $100,000,000, or $786 per $1,000 principal amount of

notes have advised the Company that they expect to accept the offer to purchase.
No assurance can be given that the transaction will be completed as proposed.
