(a) Certain of TARC's executive officers receive personal benefits in addition
to salary and cash bonuses. The aggregate amount of the personal benefits,
however, does not exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 10% of the total of the
annual salary and bonus reported for the named executive officer and
accordingly has been excluded from the table.

(b) Reflects the amount contributed under the Savings Plan (as defined below).

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

TARC's compensation committee is composed of Messrs. Henderson and McDade.
During the year ended January 31, 1997, none of the members of the compensation
committee was an officer or employee of TARC, and none had any relationship with
TARC requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. The TARC Notes
Indenture prohibits TARC and any Guarantor under the TARC Notes from paying
compensation to Mr. Stanley in excess of $1 million per year, in the aggregate.

SAVINGS PLAN

TransAmerican maintains a long-term savings plan (the "Savings Plan") in
which eligible employees of TARC and certain of its affiliates may elect to
participate. Each employee becomes eligible to participate in the Savings Plan
on January 1 or July 1 following the completion of one year of service with TARC
or its participating affiliates and attainment of age 21. The Savings Plan is
intended to constitute a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") and contains a salary reduction
arrangement described in Section 401(k) of the Code.

Each participant may elect to reduce his compensation by a percentage equal
to 2% to 15% and TARC will contribute that amount to the Savings Plan on a
pre-tax basis on behalf of the participant. The Code limits the annual amount
that a participant may elect to have contributed on his behalf on a pre-tax
basis to the Savings Plan. For 1997, this limit is $9,500. TARC presently makes
a matching contribution in an amount equal to 10%, 20%, or 50% of the amount
elected to be contributed by each participant on a pre-tax basis, up to a
maximum of 3% of each participant's compensation, depending on whether the
employee has been a participant in the Savings Plan for one year, two years or
three years. Each participant also may elect to contribute up to 10% of his
compensation to the Savings Plan on an after-tax basis. The Code imposes
nondiscrimination tests on contributions made to the Savings Plan pursuant to
participant elections and on TARC's matching contributions, and limits amounts
which may be allocated to a participant's Savings Plan account each year. In
order to satisfy the nondiscrimination tests, contributions made on behalf of
certain highly compensated employees (as defined in the Code) may be limited.
Contributions made to the Savings Plan pursuant to participant elections and
matching contributions are at all times 100% vested. Contributions to the
Savings Plan are invested, according to specified investment options selected by
the participants, in investment funds maintained by the trustee of the Savings
Plan. Generally, a participant's vested benefits will be distributed from the
Savings Plan as soon as administratively practicable following a participant's
retirement, death, disability or other termination of employment. In addition, a
participant may elect to withdraw his after-tax contributions from the Savings
Plan prior to his termination of employment, and subject to certain strict
limitations and exceptions, the Savings Plan provides for withdrawals of a
participant's pre-tax contributions prior to a participant's termination of
employment in the event of the participant's severe financial hardship or
attainment of age 59 1/2. The Savings Plan may be amended or terminated by the
Board of Directors of TARC. As of January 31, 1997, approximately 194 employees
were eligible to participate in the Savings Plan, including Messrs. Karr,
McGinnis and Stanley.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

TEC owns 30 million shares (100%) of TARC's outstanding shares of common
stock. TEC's address is 1300 North Sam Houston Parkway East, Suite 200, Houston,
Texas 77032. Pursuant to the TARC Notes Indenture, all shares of TARC's common
stock are pledged as collateral and are held by the trustee under the TARC Notes
Indenture, First Union National Bank.

A foreclosure by the holders of TARC's debt securities on the shares of
TARC's common stock, under certain circumstances, constitutes a "change of
control" of TARC under the TARC Notes Indenture, which allows the holders
thereof to require TARC to repurchase the TARC Notes at a price equal to 101% of
the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

TransAmerican and its affiliates have provided TARC with substantially all
of its corporate services requirements, including insurance, legal, accounting
and treasury functions pursuant to a Services Agreement. TransAmerican and
TransTexas charged TARC approximately $0.3 million, $0.2 million, $0.2 million
and $0.1 million for the year ended January 31, 1997, the six months ended
January 31, 1996 and the years ended July 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, to
cover its costs of providing these services, which management believes to be
reasonable based on the limited services provided. Pursuant to this agreement,
TARC is currently charged $26,000 per month for additional corporate services.
In addition, third party charges incurred by TransAmerican and its affiliates
have been charged directly or allocated to TARC on usage or other methods that
management believes are reasonable. All significant transactions with affiliates
are recorded in the payable to affiliates account.

Southeast Louisiana Contractors of NORCO, Inc. ("Southeast Contractors"), a
subsidiary of TransAmerican, provides construction personnel to TARC in
connection with TARC's expansion and construction program. These construction
workers are temporary employees, and the number and composition of the workforce
will vary throughout TARC's expansion and construction program. Southeast
Contractors charges TARC for the direct costs it incurs (which consist solely of
employee payroll and benefits) plus administrative costs and fees of $1.2
million per year. Total labor costs charged by Southeast Contractors were
approximately $14.1 million, $20.2 million and $15.5 million for the year ended
January 31, 1997, the six months ended January 31, 1996 and the year ended July
31, 1995, respectively. Amounts payable to Southeast Contractors were $1.8
million and $2.3 million at January 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively. No labor
costs were charged by Southeast Contractors in prior years.

TARC purchases natural gas from TransTexas on an interruptible basis. The
total cost of natural gas purchased for the year ended January 31, 1997, the six
months ended January 31, 1996 and years end July 31, 1995 and 1994 was
approximately $2.7 million, $1.4 million, $2.5 million and $2.3 million,
respectively, of which approximately $2.7 million and $0.1 million was payable
at January 31, 1997 and 1996.

During 1995, TransAmerican acquired an office building which it
subsequently sold to TransTexas in February 1996 for $4 million. In February
1996, TransAmerican advanced $4 million of the proceeds from this sale to TARC
for working capital.

In July 1996, TARC executed a promissory note to Trans American for up to
$25 million. The note bears interest at a rate of 15% per annum, payable
quarterly beginning October 31, 1996, and mature on July 31, 1998. As of January
31, 1997, the entire $25 million was outstanding under the note. On November 1,
1996, TARC executed an additional $25 million promissory note to TransAmerican
which bears interest at 15% per annum, payable quarterly beginning December 31,
1996, and which matures on September 30, 1998 (together with the first
promissory note, the "TransAmerican Notes"). At January 1, 1997, TARC had
approximately $44.4 million outstanding under the TransAmerican Notes.
TransAmerican has waived any default occurring as a result of TARC's failure to
make the scheduled interest payment provided for in these notes. In February
1997, the November 1996 promissory note was replaced with a $50 million note
bearing interest at an annual rate of 15% and which matures on July 31, 2002.
Interest payments are due quarterly commencing on April 30, 1997. The debt
represented by the new note is subordinate in right of payment to the TARC
Notes. As of April 25, 1997, approximately $31.4 million had been advanced under
the new note.

Prior to the sale of the TARC Notes, TARC participated in TransAmerican's
centralized cash management program. Funds required by TARC for daily operations
and capital expenditures were advanced by TransAmerican. In October 1994,
TransAmerican sold 5.25 million shares of TransTexas common stock. TransAmerican
advanced approximately $50 million of the proceeds from these stock sales to
TARC, of which approximately $20 million was used by TARC to repay a portion of
the intercompany debt owed to TransAmerican, and the remaining $30 million was
used for working capital and general corporate purposes. TARC used approximately
$30 million of the net proceeds of the sale of the TARC Notes to repay
additional other intercompany debt to TransAmerican. TransAmerican contributed
to the capital of TARC (through TEC) all but $10 million of the remainder of
TARC's intercompany debt owed to TransAmerican. In April 1995, TARC repaid the
remaining $10 million of intercompany indebtedness owed to TransAmerican.

In August 1995, TARC received an advance of $3 million from TransTexas which
TARC used to settle its remaining portion of certain litigation. In September
1995, TARC received an advance of $1.7 million from TransAmerican which TARC
used to purchase feedstock. In October 1995, TARC repaid these advances without
interest. Additionally in October 1995, TARC received an advance of
approximately $4 million from TransAmerican for working capital, which has not
been repaid.

In September 1995, TARC received an advance of $1 million from TransTexas
which TARC used to purchase feedstock. This advance was repaid by TARC without
interest. In December 1995, TARC advanced $1 million to TransTexas. This advance
was repaid to TARC with interest.

TransAmerican, its existing subsidiaries, including TARC, TEC and
TransTexas, entered into a Tax Allocation Agreement, the general terms of which
require TransAmerican and all of its subsidiaries to file federal income tax
returns as members of a consolidated group to the extent permitted by law.
Filing on a consolidated basis allows income and tax of one member to be offset
by losses and credits of another and allows deferral of certain intercompany
gains; however, each member is severally liable for the consolidated federal
income tax liability of the consolidated group.

The Tax Allocation Agreement requires each of TransAmerican's subsidiaries
to pay to TransAmerican each year its allocable share of the federal income tax
liabilities of the consolidated group ("Allocable Share"). The Tax Allocation
Agreement provides for a reallocation of the group's consolidated federal income
tax liabilities among the members if the IRS or the courts ultimately
re-determine the group's regular tax or alternative minimum tax liability. In
the event of an IRS audit or examination, the Tax Allocation Agreement generally
gives TransAmerican the authority to compromise or settle disputes and to
control litigation, subject to the approval of TARC, TEC or TransTexas, as the
case may be, where such compromise or settlement affects the determination of
the separate tax liability of that company.

Under the Tax Allocation Agreement, each subsidiary's Allocable Share for
each tax year will generally equal the amount of federal income tax it would
have owed had it filed a separate federal income tax return for each year except
that each subsidiary will be able to utilize net operating losses and credits of
TransAmerican and the other members of the TransAmerican consolidated group
effectively to defer payment of tax liabilities that it would have otherwise
owed had it filed a separate federal income tax return. Each subsidiary will
essentially pay the deferred taxes at the time TransAmerican (or the member
whose losses or credits are utilized by such subsidiary) begins generating
taxable income or tax. This will have the effect of deferring a portion of such
subsidiary's tax liability to future years.

The TARC Notes Indenture requires that, with certain exceptions,
transactions between TARC and certain related parties be on terms no less
favorable to TARC than would be available from an unrelated party and that are
fair and reasonable to TARC. This standard will apply to future transactions, if
any, with entities in which Mr. Stanley or members of his family may have an
interest. A similar covenant is in the indentures governing the Notes issued by
TransTexas.
