             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      NATURE OF OPERATIONS

      The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Texas
Petrochemical Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, TPC Holding Corp.,
collectively referred to as the "Company". The Company, through its facility in
Houston, Texas, is one of the largest producers of butadiene, the largest
producer of butene-1, and the third largest producer of methyl tertiary-butyl
ether ("MTBE") in North America. 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) alkylate, used as a gasoline blend component; (iv) n-butylenes
(butene-1 and butene-2), used in the manufacture of plastic resins, fuel
additives and synthetic alcohols; and (v) specialty isobutylenes, primarily used
in the production of specialty rubbers, lubricant additives, detergents and
coatings and (vi) polyisobutylenes, used in the production of fuel and lube
additives, adhesives, sealants and packing.

      On July 1, 2000, the Texas Petrochemicals LP converted its legal form from
a corporation to a limited partnership pursuant to the conversion provision of
the Texas Business Corporation Act and the Texas Revised Limited Partnership
Act. TPC Holding, Corp., the Texas Petrochemicals LP immediate parent prior to
the conversion, retained a direct 1% ownership interest in the partnership and
became its sole general partner. Petrochemical Partnership holdings, Inc., a new
wholly owned subsidiary of TPC Holding Corp., acquired the remaining 99%
ownership interest and simultaneously became a limited partner of the
partnership. This change has no effect on the current management of the Company
or its existing operations. The Texas Business Corporation Act provides that the
effect of the conversion is that Texas Petrochemicals LP as a legal entity
continues to exist, without interruption, but in the organizational form of a
Texas limited partnership rather than in the prior organization form of a Texas
corporation. As a result of the above equity restructuring there was no change
in the carrying values of the Company's assets and liabilities.

      The Company's principal feedstocks are crude butadiene, isobutane and
methanol. The Company purchases a significant portion of its crude butadiene
requirements at prices that are adjusted based on the Company's selling price of
butadiene as well as the cost of natural gas used to produce butadiene. 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 10-Q 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, 2001
and the results of its operations and cash flows

             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


for the interim period ended September 30, 2001. 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, 2001. The June
30, 2000 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.

      INCOME PER SHARE

      The basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding used in the
computation of income per share are net of 67,275 and 15,000 shares held by the
Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP"), that are not allocated to employees as
of September 30, 2001 and 2000, respectively. The diluted weighted average
shares outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2000 include the
dilutive effect of stock options outstanding of 6,977 shares. The effect of
unallocated ESOP shares and stock options was not dilutive for the three months
ended September 30, 2001 for purposes of calculating dilutive income (loss) per
share.

        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED), CONTINUED


      The Bank Credit Agreement provided for term loans in the amount of $130
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 Term A Loan and Term B Loan are due on December 31,
2002 and June 30, 2004, respectively. The Revolving Credit 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 (2.0% and 1.50% for the Revolving Credit Loan and Term A Loan at
September 30, 2001 and 2000 and 3.00% for the Term B Loan at September 30, 2001
and 2000, respectively) or the greater of the prime rate and the federal funds
rate plus 1/2% plus a margin (1.0% and .50% for at September 30, 2001 and 2000).
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 Discount Notes are
due 2007 and bear interest at 13 1/2% payable semiannually on January 1 and July
1 beginning 2002. The Bank Credit Agreement, the Discount Notes 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. In March
2001, the Company obtained an amendment to the Bank Credit Agreement related to
certain financial ratios and capital expenditure limitations. The Company
obtained a second amendment to the Bank Credit Agreement in July 2001 that
amended the definition of EBITDA to allow for an exclusion of losses associated
with the fire and flood damage for fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 and first
quarter of fiscal 2002.

3.    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 adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of
operations or cash flows.

                       TEXAS PETROCHEMICAL HOLDINGS, INC.

        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED), CONTINUED


      The Company received a Notice of Violation ("NOV") on March 10, 2000 from
the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") relating to certain discrepancies
alleged to have been found during routine inspections conducted by EPA in 1995
and 1997. The NOV led to the filing of a judicial complaint against the Company.
The Company vigorously disputed the factual and legal basis of the NOV and
settlement negotiations were initiated. The EPA, the Department of Justice, and
the Company are currently finalizing a settlement that will entail a civil
penalty and the installation of vapor controls on three organic liquid storage
vessels on or before October 1, 2002. The anticipated settlement of such issues
is not expected to have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial
condition, results of operations or cash flows.

      Legal actions have been filed in several states for recovery for alleged
property damage and/or costs of remediation and replacement of water supplies
due to the presence of MTBE. As of this point in time, the Company has not been
named in any of these actions; however, no assurance can be given that the
Company will not be named in these or other future actions.

      ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATION

      The Company's operations are subject to federal, state and local laws and
regulations administered by the EPA, 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.

      Under federal and state environmental laws, companies may be liable for
remediation of contamination at on-site and off-site waste management and
disposal areas. Management believes that the Company is not likely to be
required to incur material remediation costs related to its management,
transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials and wastes, or to
its pipeline operations.

      There continues to be action in Congress to impact the use of MTBE in
gasoline. The most prevalent legislative proposals would ban MTBE, eliminate the
oxygen requirement of the Clean Air Act ("CAA") of 1990 or require the use of
ethanol as a gasoline-blending component. The Company is not able to predict
whether such legislation will be adopted. If adopted, however, such legislation
would be expected to materially reduce MTBE demand and the Company's financial
results.

4.    ACCOUNTING CHANGE

      On July 1, 2000, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards (SFAS) No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Certain
Hedging Activities" and SFAS No. 138, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and
Certain Hedging Activity, and Amendment of SFAS 133". Accordingly, upon adoption
of these pronouncements the Company recorded all derivative instruments on the
balance sheet at their respective fair values with an offsetting entry as a
cumulative change in accounting principle, net of tax. The cumulative effect on
earnings was a pre-tax charge of $0.6 million less a tax benefit of $0.2
million.

         In July 2001, the Company adopted SFAS No. 142 "Goodwill and other
Intangible Assets". Accordingly, the Company no longer amortizes goodwill but
rather tests for goodwill impairment. Under the guidance of SFAS No. 142, the
Company has six months from the date of adoption to perform the test. To date
the Company has not completed this test.


5.  EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

      In August 2001, the TPC Holding Corp. Employee Stock Ownership Trust (the
"Trust") purchased 69,000 shares of common stock of Texas Petrochemicals
Holdings, Inc. from existing shareholders in exchange for cash and seller
financing. The cash portion of the offer to selling shareholders was funded by a
loan made by Texas Petrochemicals LP to the Trust. The loan of $2.5 million is
financed over a 10-year period at a 6% interest rate. The unallocated shares
related to the loan have been reflected as a contra account in shareholders'
equity. The seller financing portion of the offer was financed with a $5.3
million note issued from the Trust to the selling shareholder. This note is to
be financed over a 10-year period at a 6% interest rate. The Company has
reflected this note as a loan commitment in long-term debt and the related
unallocated shares as a contra account in shareholders' equity. The Company's
contribution to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP") for the three months
ended September 30, 2001 was $0.2 million, which was reported as compensation
expense.

      The employees of the ESOP have the option to put their allocated shares
back to the Company at the current fair value of the stock. Under normal
circumstances the put option is triggered by retirement or termination of the
employee. Beginning in fiscal 2002 qualifying employees will be allowed to
exercise their put option.

6.  SUPPLEMENTAL GUARANTOR INFORMATION

      TPC Holding Corp. a wholly owned subsidiary of Texas Petrochemical
Holdings, Inc. has fully and unconditionally guaranteed, on a joint and several
basis, Texas Petrochemical Holdings, Inc's. obligations relative to the Discount

separate, full financial statements of TPC Holding Corp. ("Guarantor") would not
be material to investors and such financial statements are not provided.

 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, fuel products (MTBE, butene-2 and alkylate), specialty products
(butene-1, isobutylene concentrate, high purity isobutylene, diisobutylene and
polyisobutylene). 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 significantly increased the demand for MTBE in
the early 1990's.

MTBE ENVIRONMENTAL AND MARKET ISSUES

      There is concern in a number of states that MTBE may enter drinking water
supplies as a result of leaks in underground gasoline storage tanks. As a result
of this concern, California's Governor, Gray Davis, issued an Executive Order
banning MTBE from gasoline as of December 31, 2002. Currently, the effective
date of the ban is being reconsidered by California because of concerns about
the availability and cost of alternatives to MTBE. Several other states have
enacted laws providing for reduction or elimination of MTBE from gasoline. In
addition certain States have established maximum contaminant levels ("MCLs") for
MTBE in drinking water supplies ranging from 10 to 17 ppb. The U.S. EPA, has not
yet established an MCL, but has an advisory of 20-40 ppb, based on aesthetics.
If MTBE is found at levels exceeding the MCLs, the water will have to be treated
to reduce MTBE concentration to a level at or below the applicable MCL.

      There continues to be action in Congress to impact the use of MTBE in
gasoline. The most prevalent legislative proposals would ban MTBE, eliminate the
oxygen requirement of the CAA or require the use of ethanol as a
gasoline-blending component. The Company is not able to predict whether such
legislation will be adopted. If adopted, however, such legislation would be
expected to materially reduce MTBE demand and have an adverse material effect on
the Company's results of operations.

      Various scientific bodies have evaluated MTBE as a possible human
carcinogen. To date, the International Agency on Research on Cancer, the
National Toxicology Program and the California Cancer Identification Committee
have found MTBE not to be classifiable as a possible, probable or known human
carcinogen. California EPA has designated MTBE as a possible human carcinogen.

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 group and volume of products sold, for the three months ended September
30, 2001 and 2000.

September 30, 2000


                                       16


   REVENUES

      The Company's revenues decreased by approximately 30%, or $65.7 million,
to $154.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2001 from $220.6
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Butadiene sales revenues
decreased as a result of lower sales prices and sales volumes as compared to the
prior year quarter. Butadiene sales prices and sales volumes were lower during
the current period a decline in customer demand. Fuel products sales revenues
decreased principally due to lower MTBE sales prices. MTBE sales prices were
lower during the current period as a result of decreases in gasoline prices and
lower consumer demand. Specialty products sales revenues were slightly lower
than the prior years quarter due to lower sales volumes and lower hydrocarbon
values.

GROSS PROFIT

      Gross profit decreased by $22.0 million, to ($3.3) million for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 from $18.7 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2000. Gross margin during this period decreased to (2.2%) from
8.5%. Gross profit during the period declined substantially due to operating
problems associated with the fire and flood damage sustained by the plant in May
and June 2001. Repairs that continued in June, July and August resulted in a
reduction of MTBE production of approximately 30 percent during the current
quarter, compared to the prior year quarter adjusted for the turnaround in
August 2000. The repairs during the current quarter included a turnaround to
change damaged catalyst in one of the Company's dehydro units that is used to
produce MTBE. In addition, raw material inventory levels at the beginning of the
current quarter were higher than planned due to the operational outages
sustained at the end of fiscal 2001. These raw materials subsequently declined
in value due to a significant decline in market prices during the current
quarter. The resulting higher cost raw materials combined with lower product
sales prices had a negative effect on unit margins. The Company estimates that
these operating problems related to the fire and flood impacted the first
quarter gross profit by approximately $13 million. Gross profit was also
negatively impacted by additional declines in product values during the quarter.
These declines negatively impacted the unit margins in the fuel products and
butadiene businesses.

   INCOME FROM OPERATIONS

      Income from operations decreased $22.1 million, to ($6.0) million for the
three months ended September 30, 2001 from $16.1 million for the three months
ended September 30, 2000. Operating margin during this period decreased to
(3.9%) from 7.3%. This decrease in income from operations was primarily due to
the same factors contributing to the decrease in gross profit described above.
The selling, general and administrative costs remained unchanged from the prior
year quarter.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   CASH FLOWS

Three months ended September 30, 2001 compared to the three months ended
September 30, 2000

      Net cash used by operating activities was $23.7 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2001 compared to $1.5 million net cash provided
million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. The decrease of $25.2
million was primarily caused by a $13.7 million decrease in net income and an
$11.5 million increase in working capital during the current period. Net cash
used in investing activities was $3.4 million for the three months ended
September 30, 2001 compared to


                                       17


$3.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2000. Net cash provided by
financing activities was $17.1 million for the three months ended September 30,
2001 compared to $8.1 million net cash used for the three months ended September
30, 2000. The increase of $25.2 million was attributable primarily to borrowing
under the revolving credit facility to satisfy current operating needs.

   LIQUIDITY

           The Company's liquidity needs arise primarily from principal and
interest payments under the Bank Credit Agreement and the Subordinated Notes.
Beginning January 2002, a semiannual cash interest payment of $3.9 million is
required under the Discount Notes, which were issued directly by Texas
Petrochemicals Holdings, Inc. As a stand-alone entity Texas Petrochemical
Holdings, Inc. does not maintain operations that generate cash flow to meet
these interest payments. Texas Petrochemicals LP maintains substantially all
operating cash flow for the Company. Texas Petrochemicals LP's ability to fund
interest on the Discount Notes is limited by the terms of the Senior Subordinate
Notes. On August 10, 2001 Texas Petrochemicals LP funded a cash payment of $9.3
million to Texas Petrochemical Holdings, Inc. to be held for future scheduled
interest payments on the Discount Notes. There can be no assurance that Texas
Petrochemicals LP will be able to continue to fund cash payments to Texas
Petrochemicals Holding, Inc. to meet additional future interest requirements.
Additionally, beginning in fiscal 2002 qualifying employees will be allowed to
exercise their put option under the terms of the ESOP (See Footnote 5 on Page
9). The future funding for the exercise of the put option is expected to come
from Texas Petrochemicals LP. No commitment or requirement exists for Texas
Petrochemicals LP to make such funding. The Company estimates that the current
value of the put options exercisable in the fiscal year 2002 at approximately $1
million.

      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 maintained a cash balance of
$9.4 million as of September 30, 2001. Additionally, the Company has a $40
million Revolving Credit Facility of which $23.5 million was used at September
30, 2001, to provide funds for ongoing operations, working capital and planned
capital expenditures. The Company's liquidity in the current quarter has been
impacted by a decline in operating results, changes in working capital, and
funding of $2.5 million to the ESOP. While the Company currently has
availability of funds under the Revolving Credit Facility there can be no
guarantee that such availability will be sufficient in the future. The Company's
ability to borrow is limited by the terms of the Bank Credit Agreement, the
Subordinated Notes and the Discount Notes. The Bank Credit Agreement, the
Subordinated Notes and the Discount 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. Additionally, the Bank Credit Agreement
requires the Company to maintain certain financial ratios. In March 2001, the
Company obtained an amendment to the Bank Credit Agreement related to certain
financial ratios and capital expenditure limitations. The Company obtained a
second amendment to the Bank Credit Agreement in July 2001 that amended the
definition of EBITDA to allow for an exclusion of losses associated with the
fire and flood damage sustained during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2001 and the
first quarter of fiscal 2002.

   CAPITAL EXPENDITURES

      The Company's capital expenditures relate principally to improving
production capacity and improving operating efficiencies. Capital expenditures
for three months ended September 30, 2001
