FERRELLGAS PARTNERS, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 31, 2008
(Dollars in thousands, except per unit data, unless otherwise designated)
(unaudited)

A.		Partnership organization and formation

		Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (“Ferrellgas Partners”) is a publicly traded limited partnership, owning an approximate 99% limited partner interest in Ferrellgas, L.P. (the “operating partnership”). Ferrellgas Partners and the operating partnership are collectively referred to as “Ferrellgas.” Ferrellgas, Inc. (the “general partner”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ferrell Companies, Inc. (“Ferrell Companies”), has retained a 1% general partner interest in Ferrellgas Partners and also holds an approximate 1% general partner interest in the operating partnership, representing an effective 2% general partner interest in Ferrellgas on a combined basis. As general partner, it performs all management functions required by Ferrellgas. At January 31, 2008 Ferrell Companies beneficially owns 20.3 million of Ferrellgas Partners’ outstanding common units.

		Ferrellgas Partners is a holding entity that conducts no operations and has two subsidiaries, Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp. and the operating partnership. Ferrellgas Partners owns a 100% equity interest in Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp., whose only business activity is to act as the co-issuer and co-obligor of any debt issued by Ferrellgas Partners. The operating partnership is the only operating subsidiary of Ferrellgas Partners.

		The condensed consolidated financial statements of Ferrellgas reflect all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim periods presented. All adjustments to the condensed consolidated financial statements were of a normal, recurring nature. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with (i) the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and (ii) the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, each as set forth in Ferrellgas’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2007.

B.		Summary of significant accounting policies

		(1) Nature of operations:

		The operating partnership is engaged primarily in the distribution of propane and related equipment and supplies in the United States. The propane distribution market is seasonal because propane is used primarily for heating in residential and commercial buildings. Therefore, the results of operations for the six months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. We have approximately 1 million customers. These customers include residential, industrial/commercial, portable tank exchange, agricultural and other customers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

		(2) Accounting estimates:

		The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates impacting the condensed consolidated financial statements include accruals that have been established for contingent liabilities, pending claims and legal actions arising in the normal course of business, useful lives of property, plant and equipment assets, residual values of tanks, capitalization of customer tank installation costs, amortization methods of intangible assets, and valuation methods

		used to value sales returns and allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, derivative commodity contracts and stock and unit-based compensation calculations.

		(3) Supplemental cash flow information:


	For the six months ended
	January 31,
	2008		2007
CASH PAID FOR:
Interest	$	46,978	$	45,024
Income taxes	$	1,279	$	1,765
NON-CASH INVESTING ACTIVITIES:
Issuance of common units in connection with acquisitions	$	0	$	2,751
Assumption of liabilities in connection with acquisitions	$	0	$	2,331
Property, plant and equipment additions	$	2,132	$	1,718

		(4) New accounting standards:

		Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Ferrellgas is currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement.

		SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” provides entities the irrevocable option to elect to carry most financial assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Ferrellgas is currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement.

		FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” provides a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, treatment of interest and penalties, and disclosure. The adoption of this interpretation during fiscal 2008 did not have a significant impact to Ferrellgas.

		SFAS No. 141(R) “Business Combinations” (a replacement of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, how the acquirer recognizes and measures goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase (formerly negative goodwill) and how the acquirer determines what information to disclose. This statement is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Ferrellgas is currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement.

		SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (formerly minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary and it clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Ferrellgas is currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement.

(5) Income taxes:


	For the three months					For the six months ended
	ended January 31,					January 31,
	2008			2007		2008			2007
Current expense	$	670		$	1,418	$	357		$	1,399
Deferred expense (benefit)		(206	)		254		(2,381	)		483

Income tax expense (benefit)	$	464		$	1,672	$	(2,024	)	$	1,882

Deferred taxes consisted of the following:


	January 31,			July 31,
	2008			2007
Deferred tax assets	$	4,722		$	1,718
Deferred tax liabilities		(4,618	)		(4,000	)

		During the first quarter of fiscal 2008 the Governor of the State of Michigan signed into law a one time credit for a previously passed Michigan Business Tax law. The passing of this new tax law caused Ferrellgas to recognize a one time deferred tax benefit of $2.8 million during fiscal 2008.

C.		Supplemental financial statement information

		Inventories consist of:


	January 31,		July 31,
	2008		2007
Propane gas and related products	$	160,791	$	89,769
Appliances, parts and supplies		20,630		24,038

	$	181,421	$	113,807

In addition to inventories on hand, Ferrellgas enters into contracts primarily to buy propane for supply procurement purposes. Most of these contracts have terms of less than one year and call for payment based on market prices at the date of delivery. All fixed price contracts have terms of fewer than 24 months. As of January 31, 2008, Ferrellgas had committed, for supply procurement purposes, to take net delivery of approximately 21.0 million gallons of propane at fixed prices.


Loss on disposal of assets and other consist of:


	For the three months						For the six months
	ended January 31,						ended January 31,
	2008			2007			2008			2007

D.		Accounts receivable securitization

		The operating partnership transfers certain of its trade accounts receivable to Ferrellgas Receivables, LLC (“Ferrellgas Receivables”), a wholly-owned unconsolidated, special purpose entity, and retains an interest in a portion of these transferred receivables. As these transferred receivables are subsequently collected and the funding from the accounts receivable securitization facility is reduced, the operating partnership’s retained interest in these receivables is reduced. The accounts receivable securitization facility consisted of the following:


	January 31,		July 31,
	2008		2007
Retained interest	$	37,256	$	14,022
Accounts receivable transferred	$	200,000	$	76,250

		The retained interest was classified as accounts and notes receivable on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The operating partnership had fully utilized the accounts receivable securitization facility’s capacity as of January 31, 2008.

		Other accounts receivable securitization disclosures consist of the following items:


	For the three months				For the six months ended
	ended January 31,				January 31,
	2008		2007		2008		2007
Net non-cash activity	$	2,768	$	965	$	4,052	$	1,582
Bad debt expense	$	—	$	61	$	—	$	202

The net non-cash activity reported in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings approximates the financing cost of issuing commercial paper backed by these accounts receivable plus an allowance for doubtful accounts associated with the outstanding receivables transferred to Ferrellgas Receivables. The weighted average discount rate used to value the retained interest in the transferred receivables was 5.2% and 5.3% as of January 31, 2008 and July 31, 2007, respectively.

E.		Long-term debt

		Long-term debt consists of:


	January 31,		July 31,
	2008		2007
Senior notes
Fixed rate, Series C-E, ranging from 7.12% to 7.42% due 2008-2013	$	204,000	$	204,000

Less: current portion, included in other current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets		2,758		2,957

	$	1,017,865	$	1,011,751

		During August 2007, Ferrellgas made scheduled principal payments of $90.0 million of the 8.78% Series B senior notes using proceeds from borrowings on the unsecured bank credit facilities.

		*Unsecured bank credit facilities*

		As of January 31, 2008, Ferrellgas had total borrowings outstanding under the unsecured bank credit facilities of $345.6 million. Ferrellgas classified $128.1 million of this amount as short term borrowings since it was used to fund working capital needs that management intends to pay down within the next 12 months. These borrowings have a weighted average interest rate of 6.77%. As of July 31, 2007, Ferrellgas had total borrowings outstanding under the unsecured bank credit facilities of $177.8 million. Ferrellgas classified $57.8 million of this amount as short term borrowings since it was used to fund working capital needs that management had intended to pay down within the following 12 months.

(2)		FCI Trading Corp. (“FCI Trading”) is an affiliate of the general partner and thus a related party.

(4)		James E. Ferrell (“Mr. Ferrell”) is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the general partner and thus a related party.

On February 26, 2008, Ferrellgas Partners declared a cash distribution of $0.50 per common unit for the three months ended January 31, 2008, which is expected to be paid on March 14, 2007. Included in this cash distribution are the following amounts expected to be paid to related parties:

G.		Transactions with related parties

		Reimbursable costs

		Ferrellgas has no employees and is managed and controlled by its general partner. Pursuant to Ferrellgas’ partnership agreements, the general partner is entitled to reimbursement for all direct and indirect expenses incurred or payments it makes on behalf of Ferrellgas, and all other necessary or appropriate expenses allocable to Ferrellgas or otherwise reasonably incurred by its general partner in connection with operating Ferrellgas’ business. These costs primarily include compensation and benefits paid to employees of the general partner who perform services on Ferrellgas’ behalf and are reported in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings as follows:


	For the three months				For the six months
	ended January 31,				ended January 31,
	2008		2007		2008		2007
Operating expense	$	46,494	$	54,186	$	91,923	$	103,511
General and administrative expense		6,436		5,586		13,432		11,297

		See additional discussions about transactions with related parties in Note F — Partners’ capital.

H.		Contingencies

		Ferrellgas’ operations are subject to all operating hazards and risks normally incidental to handling, storing, transporting and otherwise providing for use by consumers of combustible liquids such as propane. As a result, at any given time, Ferrellgas is threatened with or named as a defendant in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Currently, Ferrellgas is not a party to any legal proceedings other than various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. 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 reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on the condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of Ferrellgas.

Earnings per common unit

		Below is a calculation of the basic and diluted earnings per common unit in the condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the periods indicated. In accordance with EITF 03-6, “Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share” (“EITF 03-6”), Ferrellgas calculates net earnings per limited partner unit for each period presented according to distributions declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings, as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed. In periods with undistributed earnings above certain levels, the calculation according to the two-class method results in an increased allocation of undistributed earnings to the general partner and a dilution of the earnings to the limited partners. Due to the seasonality of the propane business, the dilution effect of EITF 03-6 on net earnings per limited partner unit will typically impact the three months ending January 31. The dilutive effect of EITF 03-6 on basic and diluted net earnings available per common unit was $0.05 and $0.09 for the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. EITF 03-6 did not result in a dilutive effect for the six months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007.

		In periods with year-to-date net losses the allocation of the net losses to the limited partners and the general partner will be determined based on the same allocation basis specified in the Ferrellgas Partners’ partnership agreement that would apply to periods in which there were no undistributed earnings. Ferrellgas typically incurs net losses in the three month period ended October 31.


	For the three months				For the six months
	ended January 31,				ended January 31,
	2008		2007		2008		2007

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
January 31, 2008
(Dollars in thousands, unless otherwise designated)
(unaudited)

A.		Partnership organization and formation

		Ferrellgas, L.P. is a limited partnership that owns and operates propane distribution and related assets. Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (“Ferrellgas Partners”), a publicly traded limited partnership, owns an approximate 99% limited partner interest in, and consolidates, Ferrellgas, L.P. Ferrellgas, Inc. (the “general partner”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ferrell Companies, Inc. (“Ferrell Companies”), holds an approximate 1% general partner interest in Ferrellgas, L.P. and performs all management functions required by Ferrellgas, L.P.

		Ferrellgas, L.P. owns a 100% equity interest in Ferrellgas Finance Corp. whose only business activity is to act as the co-issuer and co-obligor of any debt issued by Ferrellgas, L.P.

		The condensed consolidated financial statements of Ferrellgas, L.P. and subsidiaries reflect all adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the interim periods presented. All adjustments to the condensed consolidated financial statements were of a normal, recurring nature. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with (i) the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and (ii) the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, each as set forth in Ferrellgas, L.P.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2007.

B.		Summary of significant accounting policies

		(1) Nature of operations:

		Ferrellgas, L.P. is engaged primarily in the distribution of propane and related equipment and supplies in the United States. The propane distribution market is seasonal because propane is used primarily for heating in residential and commercial buildings. Therefore, the results of operations for the six months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full fiscal year. We have approximately 1 million customers. These customers include residential, industrial/commercial, portable tank exchange, agricultural and other customers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

		(2) Accounting estimates:

		The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Significant estimates impacting the condensed consolidated financial statements include accruals that have been established for contingent liabilities, pending claims and legal actions arising in the normal course of business, useful lives of property, plant and equipment assets, residual values of tanks, capitalization of customer tank installation costs, amortization methods of intangible assets, and valuation methods used to value sales returns and allowances, allowance for doubtful accounts, derivative commodity contracts and stock and unit-based compensation calculations.

(3) Supplemental cash flow information:


	For the six months ended
	January 31,
	2008		2007
CASH PAID FOR:
Interest	$	35,244	$	33,299
Income taxes	$	1,279	$	1,765
NON-CASH INVESTING ACTIVITIES:
Assets contributed from Ferrellgas Partners in connection with acquisitions	$	0	$	2,009
Issuance of liabilities in connection with acquisitions	$	0	$	2,331
Property, plant and equipment additions	$	2,132	$	1,718

		(4) New accounting standards:

		Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Ferrellgas, L.P. is currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement.

		SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,” provides entities the irrevocable option to elect to carry most financial assets and liabilities at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings. This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Ferrellgas, L.P. is currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement.

		FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” provides a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, treatment of interest and penalties, and disclosure. The adoption of this interpretation during fiscal 2008 did not have a significant impact to Ferrellgas, L.P.

		SFAS No. 141(R) “Business Combinations” (a replacement of SFAS No. 141, “Business Combinations”) establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination recognizes and measures the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, how the acquirer recognizes and measures goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase (formerly negative goodwill) and how the acquirer determines what information to disclose. This statement is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Ferrellgas, L.P. is currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement.

		SFAS No. 160 “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements” establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest (formerly minority interest) in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary and it clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity. This Statement is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Ferrellgas, L.P. is currently evaluating the potential impact of this statement.

Overview

We are a leading distributor of propane and related equipment and supplies to customers primarily in the United States. We believe that we are the second largest retail marketer of propane in the United States, including the largest national provider of propane by portable tank exchange as measured by our propane sales volumes in fiscal 2007. We have approximately 1 million customers. These customers include residential, industrial/commercial, propane tank exchange, agricultural and other customers in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. We've realized some customer losses associated with our ongoing efforts to improve individual customer profitability. Our operations primarily include the distribution and sale of propane and related equipment and supplies with concentrations in the Midwest, Southeast, Southwest and Northwest regions of the country.

The market for propane is seasonal because of increased demand during the winter months primarily for the purpose of providing heating in residential and commercial buildings. Consequently, sales and operating profits are concentrated in our second and third fiscal quarters, which are during the winter heating season of November through March. However, our propane by portable tank exchanges sales volume provides us increased operating profits during our first and fourth fiscal quarters due to its counter-seasonal business activities. It also provides us the ability to better utilize our seasonal resources at our retail distribution locations. Other factors affecting our results of operations include competitive conditions, volatility in energy commodity prices, demand for propane, timing of acquisitions and general economic conditions in the United States.

We use information on temperatures to understand how our results of operations are affected by temperatures that are warmer or colder than normal. We use the definition of “normal” temperatures based on information published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”). Based on this information, we calculate a ratio of actual heating degree days to normal heating degree days. Heating degree days are a general indicator of weather impacting propane usage.

Weather conditions have a significant impact on demand for propane for heating purposes during the winter heating season of November through March. Accordingly, the volume of propane used by our customers for this purpose is directly affected by the severity of the winter weather in the regions we serve and can vary substantially from year to year. In any given region, sustained warmer-than-normal temperatures will tend to result in reduced propane use, while sustained colder-than-normal temperatures will tend to result in greater use. Although there is a direct correlation between weather and customer usage, there is a natural time lag between the onset of cold weather and increased sales to customers. Nationwide temperatures during the fiscal second quarter were approximately 8% cooler than a year ago but 3% warmer than normal.

Our gross margin from the distribution of propane is primarily based on the cents-per-gallon difference between the sales price we charge our customers and our costs to purchase and deliver propane to our propane distribution locations. Our residential customers and portable tank exchange customers typically provide us a greater cents-per-gallon margin than our industrial/commercial,

agricultural and other customers. The wholesale propane price per gallon is subject to various market conditions and may fluctuate based on changes in demand, supply and other energy commodity prices, primarily crude oil and natural gas as propane prices tend to correlate with the fluctuations of these underlying commodities. We employ risk management activities that attempt to mitigate risks related to the purchasing, selling, storing and transporting of propane. These activities include propane sales commitments to a portion of our retail customers which provide for a fixed or capped propane sales price for a specified period of time. These commitments can expose us to product price risk if not immediately hedged with an offsetting propane purchase commitment. During the current winter heating season we did not, through our risk management activity, immediately hedge our exposure to a portion of these propane sales commitments. Due to the unprecedented increase in propane costs during the current winter heating season, this unhedged portion of the sales commitment caused a negative impact on our risk management performance and its related contribution to Cost of product sold — propane and other gas liquids sales.

We continue to pursue the following business strategies:

	•		maximize operating efficiencies through utilization of our technology platform;

	•		capitalize on our national presence and economies of scale;

	•		expand our operations through disciplined acquisitions and internal growth; and

	•		align employee interests with our investors through significant employee ownership.

Forward-looking statements

Statements included in this report include forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are identified as any statement that does not relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements often use words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “projection,” “forecast,” “strategy,” “position,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “may,” “will” or the negative of those terms or other variations of them or comparable terminology. These statements often discuss plans, strategies, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future and are based upon the beliefs and assumptions of our management and on the information currently available to them. In particular, statements, expressed or implied, concerning future operating results, or our ability to generate sales, income or cash flow are forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of performance. You should not put undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those expressed in or implied by these forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that will affect our future results are beyond our ability to control or predict.

Some of our forward-looking statements include the following:

	•		whether the operating partnership will have sufficient funds to meet its obligations, including its obligations under its debt securities, and to enable it to distribute to Ferrellgas Partners sufficient funds to permit Ferrellgas Partners to meet its obligations with respect to its existing debt and equity securities;

	•		whether Ferrellgas Partners and the operating partnership will continue to meet all of the quarterly financial tests required by the agreements governing their indebtedness; and

	•		the expectation that higher propane prices will continue and that temperatures for the remaining winter heating season will be normal causing revenues — propane and other gas liquids sales, cost of product sold — propane and other gas liquids sales to increase during the remainder of fiscal 2008 compared to our prior fiscal year.

Forward-looking statements can also be found in the section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal 2007 entitled “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” When considering any forward-looking statement, you should also keep in mind

the risk factors set forth in the section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal 2007 entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Any of these risks could impair our business, financial condition or results of operations. Any such impairment may affect our ability to make distributions to our unitholders or pay interest on the principal of any of our debt securities. In addition, the trading price, if any, of our securities could decline as a result of any such impairment.

Except for our ongoing obligations to disclose material information as required by federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements or risk factors after the date of this quarterly report.

The following is a discussion of our historical financial condition and results of operations and should be read in conjunction with our historical condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

The discussions set forth in the “Results of Operations” and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” sections generally refer to Ferrellgas Partners and its consolidated subsidiaries. However, in these discussions there exists two material differences between Ferrellgas Partners and the operating partnership. Those two material differences are:

	•		because Ferrellgas Partners issued $268.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 8 3/4% senior secured notes due fiscal 2012 during fiscal 2004 and 2003, the two partnerships incur different amounts of interest expense on their outstanding indebtedness; see the statements of earnings in their respective condensed consolidated financial statements; and

	•		Ferrellgas Partners issued common units in several transactions during fiscal 2007.

(a)		Gross margin from propane and other gas liquids sales represents Propane and other gas liquids sales less Cost of product sold — propane and other gas liquids sales.

Propane sales volume during the three months ended January 31, 2008 decreased 9.4 million gallons compared to the prior year period. Although temperatures during the quarter were 8% colder than the prior year period, we believe the increasing propane prices have led to lower gallon usage and conservation. The wholesale market price has increased 63% since the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The wholesale market price at one of the major supply points, Mt. Belvieu, Texas averaged $1.53 and $.94 per gallon during the three months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Additionally, we believe our propane sales volume decreases are due in part to customer losses associated with our ongoing efforts to improve customer profitability.

Propane and other gas liquids sales increased $102.5 million compared to the prior year period. Approximately $97.4 million of this increase was due to the effect of increased sales price per gallon and

$21.9 million related to an increase in lower-margin wholesale and other third-party sales. These increases were partially offset by the impact of lower propane sales volumes, as discussed above.

Gross margin from propane and other gas liquids sales decreased $22.1 million compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to the impact of lower propane sales volumes as discussed above. Additionally, approximately $8.6 million of this decrease is due to a decrease in gross margin per gallon and approximately $6.8 million is due to a decrease in the profit from our risk management activities, as discussed in the “Overview” section above.

Operating income decreased $8.0 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to the previously mentioned $22.1 million decrease in gross margin from propane and other gas liquids sales which was partially offset by an $8.8 million decrease in operating expense and a $5.6 million increase in gross margin from other revenue. Operating expense decreased primarily due to a $4.5 million decrease in incentive and other compensation expense, a $4.3 million decrease in labor expense and a $2.0 million decrease in expense for worker’s compensation and general liability. These decreases were partially offset by $2.0 million of increased fuel costs and $2.3 million of increased bad debt expense. Gross margin from other revenue increased primarily due to $3.8 million of increased miscellaneous fees billed to customers.

Interest expense increased $0.5 million due to increased borrowings on our unsecured credit facilities to fund the retirement of a portion of our fixed rate senior notes on August 1, 2007 and other working capital needs.

(a)		Gross margin from propane and other gas liquids sales represents Propane and other gas liquids sales less Cost of product sold — propane and other gas liquids sales.

Propane sales volume during the six months ended January 31, 2008 decreased 29.5 million gallons from that of the prior year period. Although temperatures during the period were 1% colder than the prior year period, we believe the increasing propane prices have led to lower gallon usage and conservation. The wholesale market price of propane has increased 42% since the second quarter six month average of fiscal 2007. The wholesale market price at one of the major supply points, Mt. Belvieu, Texas averaged $1.41 and $.99 per gallon during the six months ended January 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Additionally, we believe our propane sales volumes decreases are due in part to customer losses associated with our ongoing efforts to improve customer profitability

Propane and other gas liquids sales increased $116.5 million compared to the prior year period. Approximately $123.3 million of this increase was due to the effect of increased sales price per gallon and $47.5 million related to an increase in lower-margin wholesale and other third-party sales. These increases were partially offset by the impact of lower propane sales volumes, as discussed above.

Gross margin from propane and other gas liquids sales decreased $25.9 million compared to the prior year period. This decrease was primarily due to the impact of lower propane sales volumes as discussed above. Additionally, approximately $4.1 million of this decrease is due to a decrease in the profit from our risk management activities as discussed in the “Overview” section above and approximately $2.2 million of this decrease is due to a decrease in gross margin per gallon.

Operating income decreased $4.0 million compared to the prior year period primarily due to the previously mentioned $25.9 million decrease in gross margin from propane and other gas liquids sales which was partially offset by a $13.8 million increase in gross margin from other revenue and an $8.4 million decrease in operating expense. Gross margin from other revenue increased primarily due to $7.4 million of increased miscellaneous fees billed to customers. Operating expense decreased primarily due to a $8.9 million decrease in labor expense and a $4.9 million decrease in incentive and other compensation expense. These decreases were partially offset a $3.7 million increase in bad debt expense and a $3.2 million increase in expense for worker’s compensation and general liability.

Interest expense increased $0.4 million due to increased borrowings on our unsecured credit facilities to fund the retirement of a portion of our fixed rate senior notes on August 1, 2007 and other working capital needs.

Interest expense of the operating partnership

Forward-looking statements

We expect revenues — propane and other gas liquids sales, cost of product sold — propane and other gas liquids sales to increase during the remainder of fiscal 2008 compared to the prior fiscal year based upon:

•

our belief that higher propane prices will continue and that temperatures for the remaining winter heating season will be normal.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

Our cash requirements include working capital requirements, debt service payments, the minimum quarterly common unit distribution, acquisition and capital expenditures. The minimum quarterly distribution of $0.50 expected to be paid on March 14, 2008 to all common units that were outstanding on March 7, 2008, represents the fifty fourth consecutive minimum quarterly distribution paid to our common unitholders dating back to October 1994. Our working capital requirements are subject to, among other things, the price of propane, delays in the collection of receivables, volatility in energy commodity prices, liquidity imposed by insurance providers, downgrades in our credit ratings, decreased trade credit, significant acquisitions, the weather and other changes in the demand for propane. Relatively colder weather or higher propane prices during the winter heating season are factors that could significantly increase our working capital requirements.

Our ability to satisfy our obligations is dependent upon our future performance, which will be subject to prevailing economic, financial, business, weather conditions and other factors, many of which are

beyond our control. Due to the seasonality of the retail propane distribution business, a significant portion of our cash flow from operations is generated during the winter heating season, which occurs during our second and third fiscal quarters. Our net cash provided by operating activities primarily reflects earnings from our business activities adjusted for depreciation and amortization and changes in our working capital accounts. Historically, we generate significantly lower net cash from operating activities in our first and fourth fiscal quarters as compared to the second and third fiscal quarters because fixed costs generally exceed revenues and related costs and expenses during the non-peak heating season. Subject to meeting the financial tests discussed below, our general partner believes that the operating partnership will have sufficient funds available to meet its obligations, and to distribute to Ferrellgas Partners sufficient funds to permit Ferrellgas Partners to meet its obligations for the remainder of fiscal 2008 and in fiscal 2009. In addition, our general partner believes that the operating partnership will have sufficient funds available to distribute to Ferrellgas Partners sufficient cash to pay the minimum quarterly distribution on all of its common units for the remainder of fiscal 2008 and in fiscal 2009.

Our bank credit facilities, public debt, private debt and accounts receivable securitization facility contain several financial tests and covenants restricting our ability to pay distributions, incur debt and engage in certain other business transactions. In general, these tests are based on our debt-to-cash flow ratio and cash flow-to-interest expense ratio. Our general partner currently believes that the most restrictive of these tests are debt incurrence limitations under the terms of our bank credit and accounts receivable securitization facilities and limitations on the payment of distributions within our 8 3/4% senior notes due 2012. The bank credit and accounts receivable securitization facilities generally limit the operating partnership’s ability to incur debt if it exceeds prescribed ratios of either debt to cash flow or cash flow to interest expense. Our 8 3/4% senior notes restrict payments if a minimum ratio of cash flow to interest expense is not met, assuming certain exceptions to this ratio limit have previously been exhausted. This restriction places limitations on our ability to make restricted payments such as the payment of cash distributions to our unitholders. The cash flow used to determine these financial tests generally is based upon our most recent cash flow performance giving pro forma effect for acquisitions and divestitures made during the test period. Our bank credit facilities, public debt, private debt and accounts receivable securitization facility do not contain early repayment provisions related to a potential decline in our credit rating. On December 19, 2007, Standard & Poor’s Rating Service affirmed our ‘B+’ corporate credit rating.

As of January 31, 2008, we met all the required quarterly financial tests and covenants. Based upon current estimates of our cash flow, our general partner believes that we will be able to continue to meet all of the required quarterly financial tests and covenants for the remainder of fiscal 2008 and in fiscal 2009. However, we may not meet the applicable financial tests in future quarters if we were to experience:

	•		significantly warmer than normal winter temperatures;

	•		a continued volatile energy commodity cost environment;

	•		an unexpected downturn in business operations; or

	•		a general economic downturn in the United States.

This failure could have a materially adverse effect on our operating capacity and cash flows and could restrict our ability to incur debt or to make cash distributions to our unitholders, even if sufficient funds were available. Depending on the circumstances, we may consider alternatives to permit the incurrence of debt or the continued payment of the quarterly cash distribution to our unitholders. No assurances can be given, however, that such alternatives can or will be implemented with respect to any given quarter.

We expect our future capital expenditures and working capital needs to be provided by a combination of cash generated from future operations, existing cash balances, the bank credit facilities or the accounts receivable securitization facility. See additional information about the accounts receivable securitization facility in “Operating Activities — Accounts receivable securitization.” In order to reduce existing indebtedness, fund future acquisitions and expansive capital projects, we may obtain funds from

our facilities, we may issue additional debt to the extent permitted under existing financing arrangements or we may issue additional equity securities, including, among others, common units.

Toward this purpose, the following registration statements were effective upon filing or declared effective by the SEC:

	•		a shelf registration statement for the periodic sale of common units, debt securities and/or other securities. Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp. may, at our election, be the co-issuer and co-obligor on any debt securities issued by Ferrellgas Partners under this shelf registration statement;

	•		an “acquisition” shelf registration statement for the periodic sale of up to $250.0 million of common units to fund acquisitions. As of February 29, 2008 we had $240.0 million available under this shelf agreement; and

	•		a shelf registration statement for the periodic sale of up to $200.0 million of common units in connection with the Ferrellgas Partners’ direct purchase and distribution reinvestment plan. As of February 29, 2008 we had $200.0 million available under this shelf agreement.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities was $14.0 million for the six months ended January 31, 2008, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $76.7 million for the prior year period. This decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a $76.8 million increase in working capital requirements which was partially offset by a $16.0 million increase in cash flow from the utilization of our accounts receivable securitization facility. The increase in working capital requirements was primarily due to $84.4 million from the timing and increasing cost per gallon of inventory purchases and $51.3 million from the timing and increasing sales price per gallon on accounts receivable collections. These increases in working capital requirements were partially offset by $49.6 million from the timing and increasing purchase price per gallon on accounts payable disbursements, a $13.9 million increase in cash flow from the timing of customer’s uses of their deposits and advances, and a $5.7 million increase in cash flow from the timing of payments made for miscellaneous taxes and insurance.

Accounts receivable securitization

Cash flows from our accounts receivable securitization facility increased $16.0 million. We received net funding of $99.0 million from this facility during the six months ended January 31, 2008 as compared to $83.0 million in the prior year period.

Our strategy for obtaining liquidity at the lowest cost of capital is to initially utilize the accounts receivable securitization facility before borrowings under the operating partnership’s bank credit facilities. See additional discussion about the operating partnership’s bank credit facilities in “Financing Activities — Bank credit facilities.” Our utilization of the accounts receivable securitization facility is limited by the amount of accounts receivable that we are permitted to transfer according to the facility agreement. This arrangement allows for the proceeds of up to $160.0 million from the sale of accounts receivable, depending on the available undivided interests in our accounts receivable from certain customers. We renewed this facility effective May 31, 2007, for a 364-day commitment with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Fifth Third Bank. At January 31, 2008, we had transferred 160.0 million of our trade accounts receivable to the accounts receivable securitization facility. As our trade accounts receivable increase during the winter heating season, the securitization facility permits us to transfer additional trade accounts receivable to the facility, thereby providing additional cash for working capital needs. This transaction is reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements as a sale of accounts receivable and a retained interest in transferred accounts receivable.

The operating partnership

Net cash provided by operating activities was $25.9 million for the six months ended January 31, 2008, compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $88.5 million for the prior year period. This decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a $76.8 million increase in working capital requirements which was partially offset by a $16.0 million increase in cash flow from the utilization of our accounts receivable securitization facility. The increase in working capital requirements was primarily due to $84.4 million from the timing and increasing cost per gallon of inventory purchases and $51.3 million from the timing and increasing sales price per gallon on accounts receivable collections. These increases in working capital requirements were partially offset by $49.6 million from the timing and increasing purchase price per gallon on accounts payable disbursements, a $13.9 million increase in cash flow from the timing of customer’s uses of their deposits and advances, and a $5.7 million increase in cash flow from the timing of payments made for miscellaneous taxes and insurance.

Investing Activities

During the six months ended January 31, 2008, net cash used in investing activities was $9.4 million, compared to $46.2 million for the prior year period. This decrease in cash used in investing activities is primarily due to decreased acquisition and capital expenditures activities.

Capital expenditures

We made cash capital expenditures of $15.3 million during the six months ended January 31, 2008 as compared to $18.2 million in the prior year period primarily due to maintenance and growth capital expenditures.

Acquisition

During the six months ended January 31, 2008, we used $0.2 million in cash for costs associated with prior year acquisitions as compared to $30.9 million in cash used in eight acquisitions in the prior year period.

Financing Activities

During the six months ended January 31, 2008, net cash provided by financing activities was $11.7 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $23.9 million for the prior year period. This increase in cash provided by financing activities was primarily due to $81.4 million of increased cash inflows from the net utilization of long and short term debt, which was somewhat offset by $44.3 million of cash inflows from the issuance of common units in the prior year period that was not repeated during the current year period.

Distributions

Ferrellgas Partners paid a $.50 per unit quarterly distribution on all common units, as well as the related general partner distributions, totaling $63.6 million during the six months ended January 31, 2008 in connection with the distributions declared for the three months ended July 31 and October 31, 2007. The quarterly distribution on all common units and the related general partner distributions for the three months ended January 31, 2008 of $31.8 million are expected to be paid on March 14, 2008 to holders of record on March 7, 2008.

Bank credit facilities

At January 31, 2008, $345.6 million of borrowings and $42.7 million of letters of credit were outstanding under our unsecured bank credit facilities. $95.0 million of these borrowings will mature on August 1, 2009 while the remaining $293.3 million of borrowings and letters of credit will mature on April 22, 2010. Letters of credit are currently used to cover obligations primarily relating to requirements for insurance coverage and, to a lesser extent, risk management activities and product purchases. At

January 31, 2008, we had $136.7 million of available capacity for working capital, acquisition, capital expenditure and general partnership purposes under these unsecured bank credit facilities.

All borrowings under our unsecured bank credit facilities bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either:

•		a base rate, which is defined as the higher of the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or Bank of America’s prime rate (as of January 31, 2008, the federal funds rate and Bank of America’s prime rate were 3.22% and 6.0%, respectively); or

•		the Eurodollar Rate plus a margin varying from 1.50% to 2.50% (as of January 31, 2008, the one-month and three-month Eurodollar Rates were 3.15% and 3.15%, respectively).

In addition, an annual commitment fee is payable on the daily unused portion of our unsecured bank credit facilities at a per annum rate varying from 0.375% to 0.500% (as of January 31, 2008, the commitment fee per annum rate was 0.375%).

We believe that the liquidity available from our unsecured bank credit facilities and the accounts receivable securitization facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital expenditures working capital, debt service and letter of credit requirements for the remainder of fiscal 2008 and fiscal 2009. See “Operating Activities” for discussion about our accounts receivable securitization facility. However, if we were to experience an unexpected significant increase in these requirements, our needs could exceed our immediately available resources. Events that could cause increases in these requirements include, but are not limited to the following:

•		a significant increase in the wholesale cost of propane;

•		a significant delay in the collections of accounts receivable;

•		increased volatility in energy commodity prices related to risk management activities;

•		increased liquidity requirements imposed by insurance providers;

•		a significant downgrade in our credit rating;

•		decreased trade credit; or

•		a significant acquisition.

If one or more of these or other events caused a significant use of available funding, we may consider alternatives to provide increased liquidity and capital funding. No assurances can be given, however, that such alternatives would be available, or, if available, could be implemented.

The operating partnership

The financing activities discussed above also apply to the operating partnership except for cash flows related to distributions, as discussed below.

Distributions

The operating partnership paid cash distributions of $76.1 million during the six months ended January 31, 2008. The operating partnership expects to make cash distributions of $32.1 million on March 14, 2008.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our risk management trading activities include the use of energy commodity forward contracts, swaps and options traded on the over-the-counter financial markets and futures and options traded on the New York Mercantile Exchange. These risk management activities are conducted primarily to offset the effect of market price fluctuations on propane inventory and purchase commitments and to mitigate the price risk on sale commitments to our customers.

Our risk management trading activities are intended to generate a profit, which we then apply to reduce our cost of product sold. The results of our risk management activities directly related to the delivery of propane to our customers, which include our supply procurement, storage and transportation activities, are presented in our discussion of margins and are accounted for at cost. The results, if any, of our other risk management activities are presented separately in our discussion of gross margin found in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Results of Operations” as risk management trading activities and are accounted for at fair value.

commodities and review our positions daily where we remain exposed to market risk, so as to manage exposures to changing market prices.

We did not enter into any significant risk management trading activities during the six months ended January 31, 2008. Our remaining market risk sensitive instruments and positions have been determined to be “other than trading”.

Commodity Price Risk

Our risk management activities primarily attempt to mitigate risks related to the purchasing, storing and transporting of propane. We generally purchase propane in the contract and spot markets from major domestic energy companies on a short-term basis. Our costs to purchase and distribute propane fluctuate with the movement of market prices. This fluctuation subjects us to potential price risk, which we attempt to minimize through the use of risk management activities.

Our risk management activities include the use of forward contracts, futures, swaps and options to seek protection from adverse price movements and to minimize potential losses. Our hedging strategy involves taking positions in the forward or financial markets that are equal and opposite to our positions in the physical product markets in order to minimize the risk of financial loss from an adverse price change. Our hedging strategy is successful when our gains or losses in the physical product markets are offset by our losses or gains in the forward or financial markets. Due to the volatility in propane prices at the time we entered into our current year propane sales commitments with a portion of our retail customers we chose not to fully deploy this hedging strategy. This unhedged position caused a negative impact on our risk management performance and its related contribution to Cost of product sold — propane and other gas liquids sales.

Market risks associated with energy commodities are monitored daily by senior management for compliance with our commodity risk management policy. This policy includes an aggregate dollar loss limit and limits on the term of various contracts. We also utilize volume limits for various energy commodities and review our positions daily where we remain exposed to market risk, so as to manage exposures to changing market prices.

We have prepared a sensitivity analysis to estimate the exposure to market risk of our energy commodity positions. Forward contracts, futures, swaps and options outstanding as of January 31, 2008 and July 31, 2007, that were used in our risk management activities were analyzed assuming a hypothetical 10% adverse change in prices for the delivery month for all energy commodities. The potential loss in future earnings from these positions due to a 10% adverse movement in market prices of the underlying energy commodities was estimated at $3.1 million and $0.8 million as of January 31, 2008 and July 31, 2007, respectively. The preceding hypothetical analysis is limited because changes in prices may or may not equal 10%, thus actual results may differ.

Our sensitivity analysis includes designated hedging and the anticipated transactions associated with these hedging transactions. These hedging transactions are anticipated to be 100% effective; therefore, there is no effect on our sensitivity analysis from these hedging transactions. To the extent option contracts are used as hedging instruments for anticipated transactions we have included the offsetting effect of the anticipated transactions, only to the extent the option contracts are in the money, or would become in the money as a result of the 10% hypothetical movement in prices. All other anticipated transactions for risk management activities have been excluded from our sensitivity analysis.

Interest Rate Risk

At January 31, 2008 and July, 31, 2007, we had $345.6 million and $177.8 million, respectively, in variable rate bank credit facilities borrowings. Thus, assuming a one percent increase in our variable interest rate, our interest rate risk related to the borrowings on our variable rate bank credit facilities would result in a loss in future earnings of $3.5 million for the twelve months ending January 31, 2008. The preceding hypothetical analysis is limited because changes in interest rates may or may not equal one percent, thus actual results may differ.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

An evaluation was performed by the management of Ferrellgas Partners, L.P., Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp., Ferrellgas, L.P., and Ferrellgas Finance Corp., with the participation of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our general partner, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, were designed to be and were adequate and effective as of January 31, 2008.

The management of Ferrellgas Partners, L.P., Ferrellgas Partners Finance Corp., Ferrellgas, L.P., and Ferrellgas Finance Corp. does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures will prevent all errors and all fraud. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Based on the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the above mentioned Partnerships and Corporations have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors or mistakes. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events. Therefore, a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide such reasonable assurances of achieving our desired control objectives, and the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of our general partner have concluded, as of January 31, 2008, that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in achieving that level of reasonable assurance.

During the most recent fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2008, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) or Rule 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

Our operations are subject to all operating hazards and risks normally incidental to handling, storing, transporting and otherwise providing for use by consumers of combustible liquids such as propane. As a result, at any given time, we are threatened with or named as a defendant in various lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. Currently, we are not a party to any legal proceedings other than various claims and lawsuits arising in the ordinary course of business. 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 reasonably expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

There have been no material changes from the risk factors as previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal 2007.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

None.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

In addition to the benefits above, the Amended and Restated Change in Control Agreement i) provides the executive with professional outplacement services for a period of not more than 12 months following a termination; ii) adds a material diminution in authority, duty or responsibilities or a breach of the agreement by our general partner as potential “good reason” for an executive to terminate his employment after a change in control and iii) clarifies the timing of benefit payments for Internal Revenue Code Section 409A purposes. In addition, an executive must give notice of the occurrence of an event that constitutes good reason within 180 days of the event and our general partner will have 30 days to cure such event. Termination for good reason then does not occur unless the executive resigns from employment for good reason within the term of the agreement.
