REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders Quaker State Corporation:

     We have audited the consolidated financial statements and the financial
statement schedule of Quaker State Corporation and Subsidiaries listed in the
index on page 19 of this Form 10-K. These financial statements and financial
statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and
financial statement schedule based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Quaker State
Corporation and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1997 and 1996, and the
consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the
three years in the period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles. In addition, in our opinion, the financial
statement schedule referred to above, when considered in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material
respects, the information required to be included therein.

QUAKER STATE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Quaker State Corporation and Subsidiaries (the "Company") is principally a
producer of motor oil and lubricants for passenger cars, fleets, commercial and
industrial applications. The Company also is a manufacturer and marketer of
products and services in the automotive aftermarket and offers a full range of
high-quality automotive chemical treatment, appearance, accessory and air
freshener products. The Company's products are sold primarily to distributors
and national and regional retailers.

a. BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Quaker State Corporation and all of its subsidiaries more than 50%
owned. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires
management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amount of
assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and
reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from
those estimates.

b. CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Company considers all highly liquid financial
instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash
equivalents.

c. INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is
determined on the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") basis for manufactured products.
For other inventories, such as purchased finished lubricating oils and purchased
automotive aftermarket products, cost is determined on the first-in, first-out
("FIFO") basis.

d. DEPRECIATION, AMORTIZATION AND VALUATION OF INTANGIBLES: Depreciation is
recorded on a straight-line basis. Goodwill, brands and other intangible assets
are amortized on a straight-line basis. When factors indicate an intangible
asset may not be recoverable, the Company evaluates the related undiscounted
future cash flows compared to the carrying value of the intangible asset to
determine if an impairment exists. The following table summarizes the years over
which significant assets are generally depreciated or amortized:

      Fast lube, office and other equipment             3 to 10 years 
      Software and other intangible assets              3 to 10 years 
      Fast lube rental properties and improvements      5 to 20 years 
      Buildings and improvements                       20 to 40 years 
      Goodwill and brands                              20 to 40 years

e. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION: For all foreign operations, the functional
currency is the local currency. The assets and liabilities of the Company's
foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using current exchange
rates. Income statement items are translated at average exchange rates
prevailing during the period. Exchange gains or losses are not material.

f. ADVERTISING  COSTS:  Advertising costs are expensed as incurred.  Advertising
costs were $129.3 million,  $122.2 million,  and $91.8 million in 1997, 1996,
and 1995, respectively.

g. ENVIRONMENTAL EXPENDITURES: Costs in connection with compliance and
monitoring of compliance with existing environmental regulations as they relate
to ongoing operations are expensed or capitalized as appropriate. Costs
associated with remediation and reclamation efforts resulting from prior
operations are recorded no later than at the completion of an environmental site
assessment. A liability is recorded earlier if it is probable that a liability
exists and a cost can be reasonably estimated. All cleanup estimates are based
on current technology and are on an undiscounted basis. Actual results could
differ from those estimates.

h. INCOME TAXES AND INVESTMENT CREDIT: The Company uses the liability method of
accounting for income taxes. The Company accounts for investment credit on the
deferral method which recognizes the investment credit as a reduction of the
provision for income taxes over the life of the related assets.

i. EARNINGS PER SHARE: As of December 31, 1997, the Company adopted Statement of
financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 128, "Earnings Per Share." This

                                       6
<PAGE>
 
statement establishes new standards for computing and presenting earnings per
share. The adoption of the SFAS No. 128 did not have a material impact on the
Company's earnings per share. Basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per
share are based on the weighted average number of shares of capital stock
outstanding and capital stock equivalents. The difference between basic and
diluted weighted average shares of capital stock outstanding is due to
outstanding capital stock options.

2.  ACQUISITIONS:

In 1997, the Company acquired substantially all the net assets of Auto-Shade,
L.L.C. and Auto-Shade (Overseas) L.L.C. ("Axius") for $51.3 million in cash. The
acquisition resulted in $40.5 million of goodwill, brands and other intangible
assets. In connection with the acquisition, the Company recorded reserves of
$2.4 million primarily related to severance and facility exit costs. In
addition, the Company acquired substantially all the stock of Rain-X Corporation
("Rain-X") for $23.2 million in cash, the issuance of 1,104,203 shares of
capital stock with a market value of $16.8 million, and the payment of $1.8
million to satisfy certain indebtedness. The acquisition resulted in $40.1
million of goodwill, brands and other intangible assets. Additional
consideration may be payable by the Company depending upon the sales performance
of Rain-X products during the next 15 years.

The Company also made various other acquisitions in 1997 for $33.5 million in
cash, 460,000 shares of capital stock with a market value of $6.7 million and a
note payable for $10.3 million. These acquisitions resulted in $48.6 million of
goodwill, brands and other intangible assets.

In 1996, the Company acquired all the stock of Blue Coral, Inc. ("Blue Coral")
for $43.5 million in cash, the issuance of 2,956,328 shares of capital stock
with a market value of $43.5 million, and the payment of $27.9 million to
satisfy certain Blue Coral indebtedness. The acquisition resulted in $84.7
million of goodwill, brands and other intangible assets. In 1996, the Company
sold one of the Blue Coral businesses for $7.2 million in cash. Also in 1996,
the Company acquired all the stock of Medo Industries, Inc. and its affiliated
companies ("Medo") for $142.3 million in cash and the payment of $17.7 million
to satisfy certain Medo indebtedness. The acquisition resulted in $145.9 million
of goodwill, brands and other intangible assets.

In 1995, the Company acquired all the stock of Slick 50, Inc. ("Slick 50") for
$22.6 million in cash, the issuance of 1,260,403 shares of capital stock with a
market value of $19.5 million, and the payment of $11 million to satisfy certain
Slick 50 indebtedness. In December 1996, under performance consideration terms
of the Merger Agreement, additional consideration of 354,374 shares of capital
stock with a market value of $6 million was paid to the former Slick 50
stockholders. The total goodwill, brands and other intangible assets resulting
from the Slick 50 acquisition was $82.1 million.

The following summary is prepared on a pro forma basis as though Axius, Rain-X,
Blue Coral and Medo had been acquired as of January 1, 1996 and Truck-Lite Co.,
Inc. ("Truck-Lite") was sold as of January 1, 1996 (see Note 5) after including
the impact of adjustments, such as amortization of goodwill, brands and other
intangible assets, interest expense and related tax effects.

The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of what would have occurred
if the acquisitions had been in effect for the entire periods presented. In
addition, they are not intended to be a projection of future results and do not
reflect any synergies that might be achieved from combining the operations.

===============================================================================

In 1997, the Company announced plans to restructure its organization, integrate
recent acquisitions and manufacturing and distribution facilities and
consolidate management and administrative activities. A charge of $19.7 million
($12 million after tax) was recorded in the fourth quarter of 1997, which
primarily related to employee severance and employee benefit reserves, the
write-down of various facilities to net realizable value and other facility exit
costs for certain manufacturing and distribution facilities. The restructuring
includes a reduction of approximately 200 selling, operational and
administrative positions at the affected units. The restructuring program is
expected to be completed by 1999. In connection with the restructuring, the
Company is implementing SAP information systems. The Company incurred $5.6
million ($3.4 million after tax) in 1997 in connection with the implementation
of the SAP information systems. The implementation is scheduled to be completed
by 1999. The Company also incurred $4.9 million of capital expenditures in 1997
relating to licenses and hardware in connection with the implementation of the
SAP information systems.

In 1997, the Company sold its West Virginia refinery and related inventory for
$34.8 million in cash and a $5 million note receivable. The sale resulted in a
charge of $5.6 million ($3.4 million after tax) primarily related to certain
contractual obligations and other exit costs. In the fourth quarter, the Company
conducted various environmental studies at formerly owned refineries which
resulted in an $8.6 million ($5.3 million after tax) increase in the Company's
environmental reserves. The Company also recognized a $4.4 million ($2.7 million
after tax) charge in connection with previously unrecorded pension obligations,
which were not material to any previous year, and $4.5 million ($2.8 million
after tax) in connection with the write-down of certain assets to net realizable
value.

In 1996, the Company recorded pretax charges of $19.5 million ($12.4 million
after tax) primarily related to the write-down of certain assets to net
realizable value and restructuring costs. The asset write-downs related
primarily to the Company's decision to sell its West Virginia refinery.
Additionally, the Company settled a $19.5 million long-term receivable for $24.5
million, resulting in a pretax gain of $5 million ($3.1 million after tax).

In 1995, the Company recognized pretax costs and expenses associated with the
restructuring and relocation of the motor oil division and corporate
headquarters of $22.6 million ($13.8 million after tax) and settled a class
action lawsuit for $4.4 million ($2.7 million after tax).

================================================================

The reserve to reduce the carrying value of inventories from current costs to
the LIFO basis amounted to $7.5 million and $17.8 million in 1997 and 1996.

At December 31, 1997 and 1996, $24.5 million and $39.3 million, respectively, of
inventories were valued on the LIFO basis. Certain inventory quantities were
reduced resulting in liquidations of LIFO inventory which increased net income
by $2 million or $.06 per share in 1997, $650,000 or $.02 per share in 1996 and
$1.3 million or $.04 per share in 1995.

As of December 31, 1997, the Company had available $430 million of committed
revolving credit agreements. The credit agreements provide for various borrowing
rate options and expire from 1998 to 2002. The weighted-average interest rate on
borrowings on these credit agreements as of December 31, 1997 was 6.22%. The
credit agreements contain various covenants pertaining to financial ratios and
interest coverage.

In 1995, the Company issued $100 million of 6.625% Notes due 2005. A portion of
the proceeds of these notes was used to retire $50 million of 8.73% Senior Notes
due 2002. In connection with the early retirement of the notes, the Company paid
a premium of $6.5 million and wrote off $300,000 of unamortized debt issuance
costs. These transactions resulted in the extraordinary charge of $4.1 million,
net of tax benefits of $2.7 million.

The aggregate long-term debt maturing in the next five years is as follows:
1998-$11.5  million;  1999-$600,000;  2000-$160,000;  2001-$160,000;  2002-$328
million.

The fair value of debt at December 31, 1997 was $441 million and for other
financial instruments the fair value does not materially differ from the value
reflected in the financial statements. The fair value of the instruments was
based upon quoted market prices of the same or similar instruments or on a
discounted basis using the rates available to the Company for instruments of
similar maturity.

12.  COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND RELATED PARTIES:

The Company has operating leases in effect for equipment and facilities with
initial terms ranging from 2 to 20 years, with renewal options generally being
available. Future minimum annual rentals, net of estimated sublease rentals
under operating leases of $26.2 million, during each of the next five years are:
1998-$18 million; 1999-$17.4 million; 2000-$15.7 million; 2001-$13.2 million;
2002-$12.2 million and thereafter $73.6 million.

Rental expenses amounted to $28.1 million, $20.7 million, and $16.4 million for
1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively, net of sublease rentals of $4 million, $3.4
million, and $3.3 million for 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.

The Company leases certain real property from a company that is owned, in part,
by a director and employee of the Company. The Company paid $439,000, $465,000,
and $1.5 million in 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively, for rental of the
property.

The Company regularly purchases  lubricant stocks from a company, the president
of which is a director of the Company. The Company purchased $709,000, $3.3
million, and $1.6 million in 1997, 1996 and 1995, respectively for lubricant
stocks.

                                      12

The Company retained an advertising firm of which a director of the Company was
the vice chairman. The Company paid $14.9 million and $1.2 million in 1997 and
1996 for advertising and services.

In 1996, the Company entered into a long-term lube base stock supply agreement
with a major oil company. This agreement requires the Company to purchase a
certain volume of lube base stock based on a price formula.

In December 1996, the Company paid $24.8 million for 1,550,934 shares of its
capital stock to a former owner of Blue Coral, who was a director of the
Company, and to an affiliated trust.

In 1993, the United States commenced a lawsuit against the Company alleging that
the Company violated the federal Resource Conservation and Recovery Act and the
federal Clean Air Act at the West Virginia refinery. In 1996, a $2.9 million
settlement was reached that required the Company to pay a cash penalty and
complete certain supplemental environmental projects. In addition, the Company
was required to make certain capital improvements to the facility. The Company
incurred $12.2 million in 1997 in connection with these capital expenditures.
The Company sold the refinery in 1997 (see Note 3) but retained certain past
environmental liabilities associated with this facility. The Company expects to
complete the projects required by the environmental settlement in 1998. All
costs to complete these projects are provided for in the Company's environmental
reserves.

The Company has received notices from the United States Environmental Protection
Agency ("USEPA") and others that it is a potentially responsible party relative
to certain waste disposal sites identified by the USEPA and that it may be
required to share in the cost of clean-up. The Company anticipates some
liability for long-term remediation at formerly owned facilities including four
refineries and various coal operations.

At December 31, 1997, the Company had $28.2 million accrued for all
environmental matters which are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The
Company currently expects most of these costs to be paid over the next five to
ten years.

In 1996, the Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") filed an administrative proceeding
seeking an order that Slick 50 cease from making certain product claims and
refrain from making other product claims without adequate substantiation. In
addition, class action suits were filed against Slick 50 alleging false,
misleading, deceptive and/or unsubstantiated claims relating to Slick 50(R)
engine treatment. These actions seek damages on behalf of the purported classes.
In December 1997, the FTC approved and entered a consent decree settling the
administrative proceeding. The consent decree includes restrictions on the
future advertising of Slick 50(R) products and an agreement by the FTC not to
seek consumer redress provided Slick 50 makes available at least $10 million in
consumer redress in the form of coupons, refunds or free products for former
purchasers of Slick 50 products. The Company has reached a tentative settlement
with counsel in all of the above actions except one, under which the Company
would make available to class members $20 million in cash rebates usable against
future purchases of a variety of the products or services of the Company and its
subsidiaries and to pay attorneys' fees to counsel for the class as approved by
the court but not in any event to exceed $3.25 million. The Company will also
pay all costs of notice and settlement administration. The tentative settlement
will be presented for approval to the District Court for Dallas County, Texas.
The tentative settlement of the class action suits would fulfill the consumer
redress requirements under the FTC consent decree.

Contingent liabilities of an indeterminate amount exist in connection with suits
and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.

In the opinion of management, all matters discussed above are adequately accrued
for or covered by insurance or, if not so provided for, are without merit or the
disposition is not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company's

                                      13

financial position; however, one or more of these matters could have a material
effect on future quarterly or annual results of operations or cash flow when
resolved.

13.  STOCK OPTIONS AND MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION:

The Company has various stock option, incentive and award plans. The Company
applies APB Opinion 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" and related
Interpretations in accounting for its plans. Accordingly, no compensation cost
has been recognized for stock options issued under the plans. Had compensation
cost for the Company's plans been determined based on the fair value at the
grant dates for awards under those plans consistent with the method of SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation" the Company's net income and
earnings per share would have been reduced to the pro forma amounts indicated
below:

Net income                                     $ 21,308   $13,225
Earnings per share                                  .61       .38
=================================================================

Under current plans, 6,285,836 shares have been authorized for issuance.
Collectively, these plans include stock options, stock appreciation rights, cash
payment rights, restricted shares, performance shares and other share awards.
Under these plans, options have been granted to employees and non-employee
directors to purchase capital stock at a price no less than 100% of the fair
market value on the date of grant. Options granted may not be exercised for at
least six months from the date of grant and all options must be exercised within
ten years of the date granted.

The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the
Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted-average
assumptions used for grants in 1997, 1996, and 1995: expected volatility of 26%,
risk-free interest rates of 6%, and expected lives of 3.5 years. A dividend
yield of 2.6%, 2.4%, and 2.4% was assumed for 1997, 1996, and 1995,
respectively. A summary of the status of the Company's stock option plans is
presented below:

In 1997, 1996, and 1995, the Company issued 31,621, 45,000 and 72,845,
respectively, restricted shares with weighted-average fair values of $15.81,
$14.00 and $14.48 to certain key employees. Effective December 31, 1996, 96,477
performance restricted shares that had been issued in 1994 and 1995 were
canceled due to the non-achievement of certain three year performance goals
resulting in a credit to compensation expense of $1.2 million. The total impact
to compensation expense (benefit) for restricted stock awards was $309,000,
$(291,000), and $842,000 for 1997, 1996, and 1995, respectively.

14.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS:

The Company has noncontributory pension plans covering substantially all of its
corporate and Lubricants and Lubricant Services employees. Plans covering
substantially all of the salaried employees provide pension benefits that are
generally based on the employees' compensation and length of service. Plans
covering hourly employees provide benefits of stated amounts for each year of
service. The Company's funding policy is based on an actuarially determined cost
method allowable under statutory regulations.

Net pension cost for 1997, 1996, and 1995 is summarized below:

The Company has certain defined contribution plans including a Thrift and Stock
Purchase Plan and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The cost of these plans was
$1.8 million, $1.2 million, and $1.2 million in 1997, 1996, and 1995,
respectively.

In addition to providing pension benefits, the Company provides health care and
life insurance benefits for active and retired employees of certain
subsidiaries. These plans are unfunded, and the Company retains the right to
modify or eliminate these benefits.

The components of periodic expense for postretirement benefits in 1997, 1996 and
1995 were as follows:

=============================================================================

For measurement purposes, a 7% annual rate of increase in the per capita claims
cost was assumed for 1997, declining gradually to 5% by the year 2001 and
thereafter. The health care cost trend rate assumption has a significant effect
on the APBO and net periodic benefit costs. A 1% increase in the trend rate for
health care costs would have increased the APBO at December 31, 1997 by 12% and
1997 service and interest costs by 14%.

Significant assumptions used in determining postretirement benefit expenses and
accumulated postretirement benefit obligations are:

   these adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The December 31, 1997
   condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from audited financial
   statements, but does not include all disclosures required by generally
   accepted accounting principles. These statements should be read in
   conjunction with the financial statements included in the 1997 Annual
   Report on Form 10-K.

2. Special charges of $32.6 million for the nine months ended September 30,
   1998 are comprised of $14.5 million of systems integration costs, $15
   million of merger costs (see Note 8) and $3.1 million of restructuring and
   other special charges.

3. The effective tax rates are higher than the 35% federal statutory rate due
   to the impact of state and foreign taxes and nondeductible amortization.

4. The difference between basic and diluted weighted average shares of capital
   stock outstanding for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998
   and 1997 is due to dilutive stock options of 245,000 and 313,000, and
   445,000 and 214,000, respectively.

5. The following schedule is prepared on a pro forma basis as though Rain-X
   Corporation ("Rain-X") and the assets of Auto-Shade, L.L.C. and Auto-Shade
   (Overseas) L.L.C. ("Axius") had been acquired as of January 1, 1997 and
   Truck-Lite Co. Inc. ("Truck-Lite") was sold as of January 1, 1997, after
   including the impact of adjustments, such as amortization of goodwill,
   brands and other intangible assets, interest expense and related tax
   effects.

   In addition, they are not intended to be a projection of future results.
6. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined
   on the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") basis for manufactured products. For other
   inventories, such as purchased finished lubricating oils and purchased
   automotive aftermarket products, cost is determined on the first-in, first-
   out ("FIFO") basis. The reserve to reduce the carrying value of inventories
   from FIFO basis to LIFO basis amounted to $3.6 million at September 30, 1998
   and $7.5 million at December 31, 1997. Inventories consist of:

7. On July 28, 1998, Oil Changer, Inc. ("Oil Changer") and several corporations
   affiliated with Oil Changer filed a suit in the Superior Court of the State
   of California, Alameda County, against the Company, certain executives of the
   Company and other individuals. The complaint alleges that the Company and Oil
   Changer were "strategic partners" in an alleged partnership to develop quick
   lubrication centers in Northern California. Oil Changer alleges that the
   Company breached the alleged agreement by developing quick lubrication
   centers with another entity. The complaint asserts claims for fraud, breach
   of fiduciary duty and usurpation of partnership opportunity, partnership
   accounting, breach of contract, conspiracy and violation of Section 17200 of
   the California Business Professions Code. Plaintiffs seek compensatory
   damages of $50 million, punitive damages, restitution, attorneys' fees and
   costs as well as injunctive relief. The Company has filed an answer denying
   liability and a cross-complaint alleging breach by Oil Changer of a loan
   agreement with the Company and seeking damages and judicial foreclosure of
   the collateral held by the Company.

   In addition, on July 28, 1998, Oil Changer and several corporations
   affiliated with Oil Changer filed a complaint in the United States District
   Court for the Northern District of California against the Company and
   Pennzoil Company ("Pennzoil"). The complaint asserts claims under Sections
   1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, Section 7 of the Clayton Act and Sections 16720
   and 17200 of the California Business Professions Code, alleging that the
   proposed merger of the Company and Pennzoil's downstream business will
   substantially lessen competition in, or result in monopolization of, the
   markets for motor oil and quick lubrication services in certain areas of
   California. Plaintiffs seek compensatory and treble damages, restitution,
   attorneys' fees and costs as well as injunctive relief enjoining the
   proposed merger. On September 4, 1998, the Company filed a motion to
   dismiss this complaint, which was granted in part resulting in a dismissal
   of the claims under the California Business Professions Code and certain
   Sherman Act and Clayton Act claims. On October 8, 1998, Plaintiffs filed a
   notice of motion for a preliminary injunction to enjoin the proposed
   merger, to which the Company and Pennzoil filed a joint opposition.
   The Company has received notices from the EPA and others that it is a
   "potentially responsible party" relative to certain waste disposal sites
   identified by the EPA and may be required to share in the cost of cleanup.
   The Company has accrued for all matters, which are probable and can be
   reasonably estimated.

   Contingent liabilities of an indeterminate amount exist in connection with
   suits and claims arising in the ordinary course of business.
   In the opinion of management, all matters discussed above are adequately
   accrued for or covered by insurance, or, if not so provided for, are
   without merit or the disposition is not anticipated to have a material
   effect on the Company's financial position; however, one or more of these
   matters could have a material effect on future quarterly or annual results
   of operations or cash flow when resolved.

8. On April 14, 1998, the Company, Pennzoil and certain Pennzoil subsidiaries
   entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). The
   Merger Agreement and related agreements provide for the separation of
   Pennzoil's motor oil, refined products and franchise operations from its
   exploration and production operations and for the combination of the motor
   oil, refined products and franchise operations with the Company. Closing
   under the Merger Agreement is conditioned on, among other things, approval by
   the Company's stockholders, expiration or termination of waiting periods
   under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 ("HSR Act"),
   and receipt of a favorable tax ruling from the Internal Revenue Service. The
   waiting period under the HSR Act expired on May 27, 1998. The Company's
   stockholders approved the merger at the Special Meeting of Stockholders held
   on September 18, 1998.
