Organization and Principles of Consolidation

Organization and Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements are composed of Susser Holdings Corporation (“Susser” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries, which operate convenience stores and distribute motor fuels in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Louisiana. The Company was formed in May 2006, and in October 2006 completed an initial public offering (IPO). Susser, through its subsidiaries and predecessors, has been acquiring, operating, and supplying motor fuel to service stations and convenience stores since the 1930’s.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. The Company’s primary operations are conducted by the following consolidated subsidiaries:

• Stripes LLC (“Stripes”), a Texas Limited Liability Company, operates convenience stores located in Texas, New Mexico, and Oklahoma.

• Susser Petroleum Company LLC (“SPC”), a Texas Limited Liability Company, distributes motor fuels primarily in Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Louisiana. SPC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Stripes.

The Company also offers environmental, maintenance, and construction management services to the petroleum industry (including its own sites) through its subsidiary, Applied Petroleum Technologies, Ltd. (“APT”), a Texas limited partnership. Two wholly owned subsidiaries, Susser Holdings, L.L.C. and Susser Finance Corporation, are the issuers of the $425 million of senior notes outstanding at January 1, 2012, but do not conduct any operations (See Note 9). A subsidiary, C&G Investments, LLC, owns a 50% interest in Cash & Go, Ltd. and Cash & Go Management, LLC. Cash & Go, Ltd. currently operates 39 units, located primarily inside Stripes retail stores, which provide short-term loan services and check cashing services. The Company accounts for this investment under the equity method, and reflects its share of net earnings in other miscellaneous income and its investment in other noncurrent assets.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Transactions and balances of other subsidiaries are not material to the consolidated financial statements. In preparing the accompanying audited consolidated financial statements, the Company has reviewed as determined necessary by the Company’s management, events that have occurred after January 1, 2012, up until the issuance of these financial statements.
