estimates that it earned net income of approximately $1,400,000 in the
third quarter of 2000, compared to a net loss of $792,000 in the third
quarter of 1999. Principal components of the 2000 third quarter net income
include improved operating income of $800,000 from ongoing operations
(resulting from improved retail and wholesale margins and additional fuel
volume at the terminal), plus non-recurring items totalling $600,000,
comprised of (a) gains on sale or conversion of convenience stores to
gas-only operators, (b) the favorable settlement of a lawsuit to recover
bad debts previously written off in 1998, and (c) net losses (mostly
unrealized) in its marketable securities portfolio. The foregoing estimates
are subject to adjustment.
