In connection with the sale of the Reporting Persons' interests in each of the aforementioned entities on January 20, 2004, these units were distributed to TAAP LP, an affiliate of the Reporting Persons, whose ownership is in the same proportion as the Reporting Persons' ownership in U.S. Propane, L.P. Following the sale of their interest in U.S. Propane, L.P., the Reporting Persons or TAAP LP are no longer subject to reporting requirements.
4. All Reporting Persons were former members of U.S. Propane, L.P. or U.S. Propane, L.L.C. and their parent companies.

Remarks:
This Form 4/A amends the Form 4 filing dated January 22, 2004, to add TAAP LP and TAAP GP LLC as additional persons reporting with respect to matters reported on the previously filed Form 4. The additional reporting persons are reported on a separate Form 4/A due to the fact that this report already contains a total of nine persons reporting.
