                  FACTORS AFFECTING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS


         This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains certain "forward looking
statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Specifically, all statements under the caption "Item 2 - Management's Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" relating to
capital expenditures and investments related to environmental compliance and
strategic planning, purchasing patterns of refined products and capital
resources available to the Company (as defined herein) are forward looking
statements. In addition, when used in this document, the words "anticipate,"
"estimate," "prospect" and similar expressions are used to identify forward
looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and
uncertainties, such as increased inflation, continued access to capital markets
and commercial bank financing on favorable terms, increases in regulatory
burdens, changes in prices or demand for the Company's products as a result of
competitive actions or economic factors and changes in the cost of crude oil,
feedstocks, blending components or refined products. Such statements are also
subject to the risks of increased costs in related technologies and such
technologies producing anticipated results. Should one or more of these risks or
uncertainties, among others, materialize, actual results may vary materially
from those estimated, anticipated or projected. Although CITGO believes that the
expectations reflected by such forward looking statements are reasonable based
on information currently available to the Company, no assurances can be given
that such expectations will prove to have been correct.

CITGO PETROLEUM CORPORATION
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
THREE-MONTH AND NINE-MONTH PERIODS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 AND 1999
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

      The financial information for CITGO Petroleum Corporation ("CITGO" or "the
      Company") subsequent to December 31, 1999 and with respect to the interim
      three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 is
      unaudited. In the opinion of management, such interim information contains
      all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments,
      necessary for a fair presentation of the results of such periods. The
      results of operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended
      September 30, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results
      to be expected for the full year. Reference is made to CITGO's Annual
      Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 on Form 10-K, dated
      March 24, 2000, for additional information.

      The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
      CITGO, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and Cit-Con Oil Corporation, which
      is 65 percent owned by CITGO (collectively, "the Company").

      At September 30, 2000, the net year to date repayments on the revolving
      bank loans were $345 million.

      On May 10, 2000, CITGO renewed its $150 million 364-day revolving bank
      loan facility for another term.

4. INVESTMENT IN LYONDELL-CITGO REFINING LP

      LYONDELL-CITGO Refining LP ("LYONDELL-CITGO") owns and operates a 265 MBPD
      refinery in Houston, Texas and is owned by subsidiaries of CITGO (41.25%)
      and Lyondell Chemical Company (58.75%) ("the Owners"). This refinery
      processes heavy crude oil supplied by Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A.
      ("PDVSA" which may also be used to refer to one or more of its
      subsidiaries) under a long-term supply contract that expires in 2017.
      CITGO purchases substantially all of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel
      produced at the refinery under a long-term contract.

      In April 1998, PDVSA, pursuant to its contractual rights, declared force
      majeure and reduced deliveries of crude oil to LYONDELL-CITGO; this
      required LYONDELL-CITGO to obtain alternative sources of crude oil supply
      in replacement, which resulted in lower operating margins. PDVSA informed
      LYONDELL-CITGO that effective October 1, 2000, the force majeure condition
      was terminated. PDVSA deliveries of crude oil have returned to contract
      levels.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      LITIGATION AND INJURY CLAIMS - Various lawsuits and claims arising in the
      ordinary course of business are pending against the Company. The Company
      records accruals for potential losses when, in management's opinion, such
      losses are probable and reasonably estimable. If known lawsuits and claims
      were to be determined in a manner adverse to the Company, and in amounts
      greater than the Company's accruals, then such determinations could have a
      material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations in a given
      reporting period. However, in management's opinion the ultimate resolution
      of these lawsuits and claims will not exceed, by a material amount, the
      amount of the accruals and the insurance coverage available to the
      Company. This opinion is based upon management's and counsel's current
      assessment of these lawsuits and claims. The most significant lawsuits and
      claims are discussed below.

      In May 1997, an explosion and fire occurred at CITGO's Corpus Christi
      refinery. No serious personal injuries were reported. Approximately 1,300
      claims have been resolved for amounts which individually and collectively
      were not material. There are presently seventeen lawsuits filed on behalf
      of approximately 9,000 individuals arising out of this incident in state
      courts in Corpus Christi alleging property damages, personal injury and
      punitive damages. There are no trials on these claims scheduled to take
      place before mid-2001.

      A class action lawsuit is pending in Corpus Christi, Texas state court
      against CITGO which claims damages for reduced value of residential
      properties located in the vicinity of the industrial facilities as a
      result of air, soil and groundwater contamination. CITGO has contracted to
      purchase all of the 275 properties included in the lawsuit which are in an
      area adjacent to CITGO's Corpus Christi refinery and settle the property
      damage claims relating to these properties. Related to this purchase,
      $15.7 million was expensed in 1997. The trial judge ruled, over CITGO's
      objections, that a settlement agreement CITGO entered into in September
      1997 and subsequently withdrew from, that provided for settlement of the
      remaining property damage claims for $5 million is enforceable. CITGO has
      asked the court to reconsider its ruling. The trial against CITGO of these
      remaining claims has been postponed indefinitely. Two related personal
      injury and wrongful death lawsuits were filed against CITGO in 1996 and
      are scheduled for trial in 2001.

      Litigation is pending in federal court in Lake Charles, Louisiana against
      CITGO by a number of current and former Lake Charles refinery employees
      and applicants asserting claims of racial discrimination in connection
      with CITGO's employment practices. The first trial in this case, which
      involved two plaintiffs, began in October 1999 and resulted in verdicts
      for the Company. The Court granted the Company's motion for summary
      judgment with respect to another group of claims; this action has been
      appealed to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Trials of all the
      remaining cases have been taken off the trial court's docket pending this
      appeal.

      CITGO is among defendants to lawsuits in North Carolina, New York and
      Illinois alleging contamination of water supplies by methyl tertiary butyl
      ether ("MTBE"), a component of gasoline. The North Carolina case, filed in
      January 1999, and the New York case, filed in January 2000 are putative
      class actions on behalf of owners of water wells and other drinking water
      supplies in such states. The Illinois class action, filed in April 2000,
      purports to be on behalf of well owners in sixteen states. All of these
      actions allege that MTBE poses public health risks. The suits seek damages
      as well as remediation of the alleged contamination. These matters are in
      early stages of discovery. A Federal Court and a Multi-District Litigation
      Panel has ordered that the Illinois case be transferred to New York and
      consolidated with the case pending in New York. CITGO has denied all of
      the allegations and is pursuing its defenses.

      In June 1999, a group of U.S. independent oil producers filed petitions
      under the U.S. antidumping and countervailing duty laws against imports of
      crude oil from Venezuela, Iraq, Mexico and Saudi Arabia. These laws
      provide for the imposition of additional duties on imports of merchandise
      if (1) the U.S. Department of Commerce ("DOC") determines that the
      merchandise has been sold to the United States at dumped prices or has
      benefited from countervailable subsidies, and (2) the U.S. International
      Trade Commission ("ITC") determines that the imported merchandise has
      caused or threatened material injury to the U.S. industry producing like
      product. The amount of the additional duties imposed is generally equal to
      the amount of the dumping margin and subsidies found on the imports on
      which the duties are assessed. In August 1999, the DOC dismissed the
      petitions and terminated the antidumping and countervailing duty
      investigations because the petitioners did not have the required industry
      support. In September 2000, the U.S. Court of International Trade
      overturned this decision and remanded the case to the DOC for
      reconsideration; the DOC is to make a revised decision by November 18,
      2000.

      ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE AND REMEDIATION - CITGO is subject to various
      federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations which may
      require CITGO to take action to correct or improve the effects on the
      environment of prior disposal or release of petroleum substances by CITGO
      or other parties. Management believes the Company is in compliance with
      these laws and regulations in all material aspects. Maintaining compliance
      with environmental laws and regulations in the future could require
      significant capital expenditures and additional operating costs.

      CITGO's accounting policy establishes environmental reserves as probable
      site restoration and remediation obligations become reasonably capable of
      estimation. Based on currently available information, including the
      continuing participation of former owners in remediation actions and
      indemnification agreements with third parties, CITGO believes that its
      accruals are sufficient to address its environmental clean-up obligations.

      The Texas Natural Resources Conservation Commission ("TNRCC") conducted
      environmental compliance reviews at the Corpus Christi refinery in 1998
      and 1999. TNRCC has issued Notices of Violation ("NOV") related to each of
      the reviews and has proposed fines of approximately $970,000 based on the
      1998 review and $700,000 based on the 1999 review. Most of the alleged
      violations refer to recordkeeping and reporting issues, failure to meet
      required emission levels, and failure to properly monitor emissions. The
      Company is currently reviewing the alleged violations and intends to
      vigorously protest the alleged violations and proposed fines.

      In June 1999, CITGO and numerous other industrial companies received
      notice from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") that the EPA
      believes these companies have contributed to contamination in the
      Calcasieu Estuary, in the proximity of Lake Charles, Calcasieu Parish,
      Louisiana and are Potentially Responsible Parties ("PRPs") under the
      Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act
      ("CERCLA"). The EPA made a demand for payment of its past investigation
      costs from CITGO and other PRPs and advised it is conducting a Remedial
      Investigation/Feasibility Study ("RI/FS") under its CERCLA authority.
      CITGO and other PRPs may be potentially responsible for the costs of the
      RI/FS. CITGO disagrees with the EPA's allegations and intends to contest
      this matter.

      In October 1999, the EPA issued an NOV to CITGO for violations of federal
      regulations regarding reformulated gasoline found during a May 1998
      inspection at CITGO's Braintree, Massachusetts terminal and recommended a
      penalty of $218,500. The Company settled this matter in September 2000
      without a penalty.


                                       10
<PAGE>   13


      In March 2000, CITGO received an Information Request from the EPA under
      Section 114 of the Federal Clean Air Act ("CAA"). This Information Request
      seeks information regarding the Company's compliance with certain
      provisions of the CAA addressing the installation and permitting of new
      and modified air emission sources, commonly referred to as the "New Source
      Review" ("NSR") provisions. The Information Request specifically seeks
      information regarding CITGO's Lake Charles, LA; Corpus Christi, TX; and
      Savannah, GA facilities and a Lemont, IL refinery operated by CITGO. In
      addition to CITGO, several other petroleum refining companies received
      similar requests. The Company substantially completed its response to this
      request in August 2000. At this time, no enforcement or other legal action
      arising out of this inquiry has been filed against the Company. If the
      Company were to be found to have violated the NSR provisions of the CAA,
      it could be subject to possible significant penalties and capital
      expenditures for installation or upgrading of pollution control equipment
      or technologies.

      Conditions which require additional expenditures may exist with respect to
      various Company sites including, but not limited to, CITGO's operating
      refinery complexes, closed refineries, service stations and crude oil and
      petroleum product storage terminals. The amount of such future
      expenditures, if any, is indeterminable.

6. DERIVATIVE COMMODITY AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

      CITGO enters into petroleum futures contracts, options and other
      over-the-counter commodity derivatives, primarily to reduce its inventory
      exposure to market risk. Such contracts are generally entered into through
      major brokerage houses and traded on national exchanges and can be settled
      in cash or through delivery of the commodity. Such contracts generally
      qualify for hedge accounting and correlate to market price movements of
      crude oil and refined products. Resulting gains and losses on such
      contracts, therefore, will generally be offset by gains and losses on
      CITGO's hedged inventory or future purchases and sales. In the nine-month
      period ended September 30, 2000, there was no non-hedging activity.

      CITGO has only limited involvement with other derivative financial
      instruments and does not currently use them for trading purposes. CITGO
      has entered into various interest rate swaps to manage its risk related to
      interest rate changes on its debt. The fair value of the interest rate
      swap agreements in place at September 30, 2000, based on the estimated
      amount that CITGO would receive or pay to terminate the agreements as of
      that date and taking into account current interest rates, was an
      unrealized loss of $1 million. In connection with the determination of
      fair market value, the Company considers the creditworthiness of the
      counterparties, but no adjustment was determined to be necessary as a
      result.

      The commodity instruments increased cost of sales and operating expenses
      and decreased pretax earnings by $3 million for the quarter and $9 million
      for the nine months ended September 30, 2000. The commodity instruments
      did not have a material impact on cost of sales and operating expenses or
      pretax earnings in the quarter or the nine months ended September 30,
      1999. The impact of the interest rate swaps on cost of sales and expenses
      and pretax earnings was immaterial for all periods presented.

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     CITGO's largest supplier of crude oil is PDVSA. CITGO has entered into
     long-term crude oil supply agreements with PDVSA with respect to the crude
     oil requirements for each of CITGO's refineries. These crude oil supply
     agreements contain force majeure provisions that entitle the supplier to
     reduce the quantity of crude oil and feedstock delivered under the crude
     supply agreements under specified circumstances. PDVSA declared force
     majeure in April 1998. Through the nine-month period ended September 30,
     2000, PDVSA deliveries of crude oil to CITGO were less than contractual
     base volumes due to PDVSA's declaration of force majeure. Therefore, the
     Company has been required to use alternative sources of crude oil. As a
     result, CITGO estimates that crude oil costs in the nine months ended
     September 30, 2000 were increased by $5 million. However, in the three
     months ended September 30, 2000, CITGO estimates that the declaration of
     force majeure did not result in increased crude costs. PDVSA informed CITGO
     that effective October 1, 2000, the force majeure condition was terminated
     and delivery of full contract volumes of crude oil would be restored.

     These contracts also contain provisions which entitle the supplier to
     reduce the quantity of crude oil and feedstock delivered under the crude
     supply agreements and oblige the supplier to pay CITGO a deemed margin
     under that contract for each barrel of reduced crude oil and feedstock.
     During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, PDVSA did not deliver
     naphtha pursuant to two of these contracts. As a result, naphtha costs, net
     of deemed margin were increased by $3 million and $6 million for the three
     months and nine months ended September 30, 2000. During the three months
     ended September 30, 1999, PDVSA did not deliver naphtha pursuant to one of
     these contracts and made contractually specified payments in lieu thereof.
     The financial impact to the three-month and nine-month periods ended
     September 30, 1999 was immaterial.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS

OVERVIEW

         The following discussion of the financial condition and results of
operations of CITGO should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements of CITGO included elsewhere herein. Reference
is made to CITGO's Annual Report for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999 on
Form 10-K, dated March 24, 2000, for additional information and a description of
factors which may cause substantial fluctuations in the earnings and cash flows
of CITGO.

         In the quarter ended September 30, 2000, CITGO generated net income of
$99.7 million on revenue of $5.9 billion compared to net income of $32.6 million
on revenues of $3.7 billion for the same period last year. In the nine months
ended September 30, 2000, CITGO generated net income of $171.1 million on
revenue of $16.4 billion compared to net income of $143.7 million on revenues of
$9.1 billion for the same period last year. Gross margin for the first nine
months of 1999 benefited from the sale of inventories that were written down by
$159 million at December 31, 1998, to reflect market prices at that time. (See
"Gross margin").

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

         The following table summarizes the sources of CITGO's sales revenues
and sales volumes for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30,
2000 and 1999:

(1) The nine months ended September 30, 1999, includes the impact of the
    inventory valuation reserve of $159 million recorded at December 31, 1998.
    See "Gross Margin".



         Sales revenues and volumes. Sales increased $2.2 billion, or
approximately 60%, in the three-month period ended September 30, 2000 as
compared to the same period in 1999. This was due to an increase in average
sales price of 43% and an increase in sales volume of 12%. Sales increased $7.3
billion, or approximately 81%, in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000
as compared to the same period in 1999. This was due to an increase in average
sales price of 68% and an increase in sales volume of 7%. (See CITGO Sales
Revenues and Volumes table above.)

         Equity in earnings (losses) of affiliates. Equity in earnings (losses)
of affiliates increased by $16 million for the three-month period and increased
$22 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 as compared to
the same periods in 1999. The increase was primarily due to the change in the
earnings of LYONDELL-CITGO. CITGO's share of these earnings increased $26
million, from $(8) million in the first nine months of 1999 to $18 million in
the first nine months of 2000. The improved gasoline market in 2000 compared to
1999 continued into the quarter ended September 30, 2000. This was supplemented
by the completion of processing unit turnarounds in the second quarter 2000 and
the ability to run crude oil in the third quarter 2000 which had been stored
during the second quarter 2000 due to the turnarounds.

         Cost of sales and operating expenses. Cost of sales and operating
expenses increased by $2.1 billion or 60%, in the quarter ended September 30,
2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. Cost of sales and operating
expenses increased by $7.3 billion or 85%, in the nine months ended September
30, 2000 as compared to the same period in 1999. (See CITGO Cost of Sales and
Operating Expenses table above.)

         As a result of the invocation of the force majeure clause in its crude
supply contracts, CITGO estimates that crude oil costs in the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 were increased by $5 million. However, in the three months
ended September 30, 2000, CITGO estimates that the declaration of force majeure
did not result in increased crude costs. PDVSA informed CITGO that effective
October 1, 2000, the force majeure condition was terminated and delivery of full
contract volumes of crude oil would be restored. These contracts also contain
provisions which entitle the supplier to reduce the quantity of crude


                                       14

oil and feedstock delivered under the crude supply agreements and oblige the
supplier to pay CITGO a deemed margin under that contract for each barrel of
reduced crude oil and feedstock. During the nine months ended September 30,
2000, PDVSA did not deliver naphtha pursuant to two of these contracts. As a
result, naphtha costs, net of deemed margin were increased by $3 million and $6
million for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2000.

         CITGO purchases refined products to supplement the production from its
refineries to meet marketing demands and resolve logistical issues. Refined
product purchases represented 61% and 62% of total cost of sales and operating
expenses for the third quarters of 2000 and 1999, respectively, and 62% for the
first nine months of 2000 and 1999. CITGO estimates that margins on purchased
products, on average, are lower than margins on produced products due to the
fact that CITGO can only receive the marketing portion of the total margin
received on the produced refined products. However, purchased products are not
segregated from CITGO produced products and margins may vary due to market
conditions and other factors beyond the Company's control. As such, it is
difficult to measure the effects on profitability of changes in volumes of
purchased products. In the near term, other than normal refinery turnaround
maintenance, CITGO does not anticipate operational actions or market conditions
which might cause a material change in anticipated purchased product
requirements; however, there could be events beyond the control of CITGO which
impact the volume of refined products purchased. See also "Factors Affecting
Forward Looking Statements".

         Gross margin. The gross margin for the three-month period ended
September 30, 2000 was approximately 3.2 cents per gallon, compared to
approximately 2.1 cents per gallon for the same period in 1999. The gross margin
for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 was approximately 2.4 cents
per gallon, compared to approximately 2.5 cents per gallon for the same period
in 1999. In the three-month period ended September 30, 2000, the revenue per
gallon component and the cost per gallon component both increased approximately
43%. As a result, the gross margin increased approximately 1.1 cents on a per
gallon basis in the quarter ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same period
in 1999. In the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, the revenue per
gallon component increased approximately 68% while the cost per gallon component
increased approximately 72%. As a result, the gross margin decreased
approximately one-tenth of one cent on a per gallon basis in the nine-months
ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same period in 1999. Inventories at
December 31, 1998 had been revalued resulting in a charge of $159 million to the
results of operations for the year 1998. The sale of these revalued inventories
during the first quarter of 1999 is the principal factor in the higher gross
margins realized during the first quarter of 1999. The gross margin for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1999 would have been 1.6 cents per gallon
if these inventories had not been revalued. At September 30, 2000 and 1999
estimated net market values of inventories exceeded historical cost, and
accordingly, no valuation reserve was necessary.

         Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and
administrative expenses increased in the third quarter of 2000 by 2%, from $50
million in the third quarter of 1999 to $51 million in the third quarter of
2000. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased in the first nine
months of 2000 by 10%, from $161 million in the first nine months of 1999 to
$144 million in the first nine months of 2000. The decrease is principally due
to a decrease in professional and consulting fees and the recovery of the bad
debt reserve related to credit card receivables. The recovery was in connection
with the sale of CITGO's proprietary consumer credit card receivables and
related credit card program on March 1, 2000 as described below.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2000, the Company's
consolidated net cash provided by operating activities totaled approximately
$404 million. Operating cash flows were derived from net income of $171 million,
depreciation and amortization of $182 million, and changes in other assets and
liabilities of $51 million.

         Net cash used in investing activities totaled $102 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 consisting primarily of capital
expenditures of $76 million (compared to $168 million for the same period in
1999). The decline in capital expenditures in the first nine months of 2000
compared to the first nine months of 1999 is due primarily to projects which
have continued to progress more slowly than anticipated. Total capital
expenditures for the year are currently estimated to be approximately $130
million. This is approximately 57 percent of 1999 capital expenditures. In
addition, CITGO has loaned $7 million to LYONDELL-CITGO in the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2000.

         Net cash used in financing activities totaled $374 million for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 2000 consisting primarily of $345 million
net repayment on revolving bank loans and $16 million net repayment on short
term loans.

         As of September 30, 2000, capital resources available to the Company
include cash generated by operations, available borrowing capacity under CITGO's
committed bank facilities of $550 million and $220 million of uncommitted
short-term borrowing facilities with various banks. Additionally, the remaining
$400 million from CITGO's shelf registration with the Securities and Exchange
Commission for $600 million of debt securities may be offered and sold from time
to time. CITGO management believes that the Company has sufficient capital
resources to carry out planned capital spending programs, including regulatory
and environmental projects in the near term, and to meet currently anticipated
future obligations as they arise. CITGO periodically evaluates other sources of
capital in the marketplace and anticipates that long-term capital requirements
will be satisfied with current capital resources and future financing
arrangements, including the issuance of debt securities. The Company's ability
to obtain such financing will depend on numerous factors, including market
conditions and the perceived creditworthiness of the Company at that time.

         On March 1, 2000, CITGO sold its proprietary consumer credit card
receivables and related credit card program to Associates First Capital
Corporation ("Associates"). In this transaction, Associates acquired
approximately $19 million in receivables from CITGO and $113 million from Royal
Bank of Canada which had previously been purchased from CITGO under a revolving
sale facility. In addition, Associates acquired 1.2 million active consumer
accounts. The sale did not affect CITGO's commercial or fleet credit card
programs.

         In April 2000, CITGO amended an agreement to sell trade accounts
receivable on an ongoing basis and without recourse. The amendment increased the
amount of such receivables that can be sold to $225 million. The amended
agreement has a minimum term of one year and is renewable for successive annual
terms by mutual agreement. $181 million has been sold under this amended
agreement as of September 30, 2000. Proceeds from the sale were used for general
corporate purposes.

         The Company is in compliance with its obligations under its debt
financing arrangements at September 30, 2000.

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

         In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 133"). In June 2000, Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 138, "Accounting for Certain Derivative
Instruments and Certain Hedging Activities" ("SFAS No. 138"), an amendment of
SFAS No. 133, was issued. The statement, as amended, establishes accounting and
reporting standards for derivative instruments and for hedging activities. It
requires that an entity recognize all derivatives, at fair value, as either
assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position with an offset
either to shareholder's equity and comprehensive income or income depending upon
the classification of the derivative. CITGO is in the process of reviewing its
contracts to determine the appropriate accounting treatment required by SFAS No.
133. Due to uncertainty about market conditions related to both crude oil and
refined products and the CITGO risk management response to those market
conditions at year end, CITGO can not determine the impact on its financial
statements that will result from adoption of SFAS No. 133, as amended, which is
required no later than January 1, 2001.


ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

         Introduction. CITGO has exposure to price fluctuations of crude oil and
refined products as well as fluctuations in interest rates. To manage these
exposures, management has defined certain benchmarks consistent with its
preferred risk profile for the environment in which the Company operates and
finances its assets. CITGO does not attempt to manage the price risk related to
all of its inventories of crude oil and refined products. As a result, at
September 30, 2000, CITGO was exposed to the risk of broad market price declines
with respect to a substantial portion of its crude oil and refined product
inventories. The following disclosures do not attempt to quantify the price risk
associated with such commodity inventories.

         Commodity Instruments. CITGO balances its crude oil and petroleum
product supply/demand and manages a portion of its price risk by entering into
petroleum commodity derivatives. Generally, CITGO's risk management strategies
qualify as hedges, however, certain strategies that CITGO may use on commodity
positions do not qualify as hedges.

         Debt Related Instruments. CITGO has fixed and floating U.S. currency
denominated debt. CITGO uses interest rate swaps to manage its debt portfolio
toward a benchmark of 40 to 60 percent ratio of fixed rate debt to total debt.
These instruments have the effect of changing the interest rate with the
objective of minimizing CITGO's long-term costs. At September 30, 2000, CITGO's
primary exposures were to U.S. dollar, LIBOR and U.S. Treasury rates.

            For interest rate swaps, the table below presents notional amounts
and interest rates by expected (contractual) maturity dates. Notional amounts
are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged under the
contracts.
