WAINOCO OIL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 1995
(Unaudited)

1.   Financial statement presentation and earnings per share

Financial statement presentation
     The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts
of Wainoco Oil Corporation, a Wyoming Corporation, and its wholly owned
subsidiaries, including Frontier Holdings Inc. (Frontier) and Wainoco Oil &
Gas Company, collectively referred to as Wainoco or the Company.  These
financial statements have been prepared by the registrant without audit,
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) and include all adjustments (comprised of only normal
recurring adjustments) which are, in the opinion of management, necessary
for a fair presentation.  Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted
pursuant to such rules and regulations, although Wainoco believes that the
disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. 
It is suggested that the financial statements included herein be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in
Wainoco's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.

Earnings per share

     Primary and fully diluted earnings per share have been computed on the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding and assume the
exercise of stock option shares for the three months and nine months ended
September 30, 1994.  The effect of dilution for the fully diluted
computation was immaterial.  No effect was given for the addition of
dilutive stock options for the 1995 periods as losses were incurred.  The
primary and fully diluted average shares outstanding for the three months
and nine months ended September 30, 1995 were 27,256,002 and 27,253,174 and
in 1994 were 27,356,514 and 27,363,864, respectively.

3.   Accounting policy for oil and gas properties

     Wainoco follows the accounting policy (commonly referred to as "full-
cost" accounting) of capitalizing costs incurred in the acquisition,
exploration and development of oil and gas reserves.  No gains or losses
are recognized upon the sale or disposition of oil and gas properties,
except for significant transactions.
     Wainoco computes the provision for depreciation, depletion and
amortization of oil and gas properties, by country, on a quarterly basis
using the composite unit-of-production method based on future gross revenue
attributable to proved reserves.
     As of September 30, 1995, price declines for oil and gas resulted in
Canadian oil and gas property costs exceeding the limitation.  However,
subsequent higher pricing was used to reevaluate proved oil and gas
reserves, and an additional provision for DD&A was not necessary.  A
downward revision in the present value of future net income, resulting from
future price declines, might result in Wainoco providing an additional
provision for DD&A in future periods.

4.   Restructuring of operations

     In the first six months of 1995, Wainoco closed sales of all of the
United States properties except for the Conroe field and certain minor
properties.  A loss was accrued for these sales in the fourth quarter of
1994.
     Wainoco recorded revenue and expenses from these properties until the
property sales were closed.  During the nine months ended September 30,
1995, the Company recorded the following for the properties sold:

5.   Nonrecurring transactions

     In the first quarter of 1995 the Company received $856,000 in
settlement of a Frontier contract dispute.  During the second quarter of
1995 the Company's Canadian operations sold its 9.9% interest in a Canadian
gas marketing company for a net gain of $1,780,000.  Additionally, during
the second quarter of 1995 the Company's United States oil and gas
operations recorded $2,206,000 resulting from the settlement of a breach of
contract claim against a former gas purchaser.  All such amounts have been
classified as other revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Nine months ended September 30, 1995 compared with the same period in 1994


     The Company had a net loss for the nine months ended September 30,
1995 of $12,056,000, or $.44 per share, compared to net income of
$6,088,000, or $.22 per share, for the same period in 1994.  A 35% decrease
in refined product spread per barrel was the primary cause of this decline.
     Refining operating income decreased $18,068,000 to $1,205,000 for the
nine months ended September 30, 1995 due to extremely poor margins on light
refined products, primarily gasoline and diesel.  During the nine months of
1995, refined product spread was $4.05 per barrel compared with $6.20 per
barrel for the same period in 1994.  Despite growth in demand in our
market, continued high refinery output nationwide coupled with high
nationwide product inventories at the beginning of the year and increased
product pipeline deliveries into Frontier's marketing area have kept
margins throughout 1995 significantly lower than in 1994.  Frontier has
experienced its lowest margins for both gasoline and diesel since its
acquisition by the Company in 1991.
     Refined product revenues increased 6% resulting primarily from
increased sales volumes as the average price per barrel increased less than
1%.  During the first quarter of 1995, Frontier settled a contract dispute
for $856,000 which is included in other revenues.
     Increased sales of light refined products were achieved by increasing
crude oil input 8% during 1995 with yields of gasoline and distillate up by
7% and 6%, respectively.  The sweet/sour spread declined to $3.09 per
barrel in 1995 from $3.72 per barrel for the same period in 1994, a result
of the increased competition for Wyoming sour crude oil, the refinery's
preferred sour crude oil based on price and quality.  Factors increasing
demand for Wyoming sour crude oil include more sour refining capacity
inside and outside our region, a decrease in the supply of Wyoming sour
crude and a worldwide increase in demand for sour crude oils.  Refining
material costs increased 14% per barrel in 1995 due to higher crude oil
prices.  Refining operating expenses decreased 9% per barrel reflecting the
increase in product sales and a 3% decrease in operating expenses. 
Operating expenses in the first quarter of 1995 included repair costs of
$1.2 million necessitated by an explosion of natural gas that had migrated
from a leaking pipeline near our refinery.  In the third quarter of 1994,
repair costs of $1 million resulting from a fire at the Refinery's crude
unit were included in operating expenses.
     Oil and gas exploration and production segment operating income
increased $567,000 to $3,989,000 during the first nine months of 1995
compared to the prior year period.  Excluding the impact of the gain on the
sale of Canada's 9.9% interest in a gas marketing company and the United
States oil and gas operations settlement of a breach of contract claim
against a former gas purchaser, segment income decreased $3,419,000.  The
decrease in segment operating income primarily results from lower gas
prices.
     Canadian oil and gas revenues decreased 23% primarily the result of a
31% decrease in gas revenues as the average price for natural gas declined
34% to $.90/mcf from $1.37/mcf in the prior year period.  Canadian gas
production was up slightly in spite of the sale of the Chin Lake field at
January 1, 1995 which produced 556 mmcf during the first nine months of
1994.  Canadian oil sales increased 32% as a result of a 15% average oil
price increase and a 15% increase in production volume, principally the
result of successful oil exploration in 1995.  In Canada, operating costs
increased 5% due to production costs associated with new wells and adding
compression at various mature fields to maintain or increase gas production
levels.
     Canadian depreciation, depletion and amortization (DD&A) decreased
slightly in the 1995 nine-month period as compared to the same period in
1994.  However, as a percentage of oil and gas sales, the Canadian oil and
gas DD&A rate increased to 55% from 43%, primarily due to the impact of the
lower 1995 gas prices.
     United States oil and gas exploration and production operations have
been significantly curtailed through sales of producing properties. 
Excluding the revenues and operating costs applicable to properties sold
and the contract settlement gain, the nine-month period of 1995 operating
margin would have been $1,573,000 compared to $1,040,000 (pro forma results
of properties retained) in the 1994 period.  This increase results from
both higher oil prices and volumes at the Conroe field.
     The provision for income taxes increased as the Alberta Royalty Tax
Credit, beginning in 1995, is classified as oil and gas revenue whereas it
was classified as a tax benefit in prior years.  The credits were $429,000
and $866,000 during the first nine months of 1995 and 1994, respectively.

Three months ended September 30, 1995 compared with the same period in 1994


     The Company had a loss for the three months ended September 30, 1995
of $3,519,000, or $.13 per share, compared to net income of $2,612,000, or
$.10 per share, for the same period in 1994.
     Revenues decreased 5% as compared to the same period in 1994,
primarily the result of dispositions of United States oil and gas
properties and the decline in the Canadian gas price.
     Refining operating income decreased $4,957,000 to $2,582,000 for the
three months ended September 30, 1995.  This decrease is the result of the
refined product spread decreasing to $4.46 per barrel in 1995 as compared
to $6.47 in 1994.  Increased product availability in Frontier's market
areas kept continued downward pressure on wholesale product prices. 
Despite growth in demand in our market, high nationwide refinery output and
increased deliveries from product pipelines into our marketing area kept
margins lower.
     Crude oil input averaged 37,103 bpd, a 13% increase from 1994 with
yields of gasoline and distillate up by 7% and 14%, respectively.  In the
third quarter of 1994 a fire at the crude unit significantly curtailed
crude oil charge for approximately two weeks.
     Refined product revenues were approximately the same between the
periods as the 11% increase in sales volumes were offset by a 10% decrease
in sales price per barrel.  Raw material costs decreased 3% primarily due
to the decrease in crude oil prices.  Per barrel operating expenses
decreased 14% per barrel reflecting the increase in product sales and a 5%
decrease in operating expenses.  Included in 1994 operating costs are
additional operating costs of $1 million as a result of the crude unit
fire.  The sweet/sour spread declined to $3.21 in 1995 from $3.57 per
barrel in 1994.  The factors contributing to this decrease were discussed
previously.
     Oil and gas exploration and production segment operating income
decreased $751,000 to an operating loss of $236,000 during the third
quarter of 1995 compared to the prior year period.  The decrease in segment
operating income primarily results from lower gas prices and the sales of
United States properties.
     Canadian oil and gas revenues decreased 25% compared to the prior year
third quarter primarily the result of a 34% decrease in gas sales as the
average price for natural gas declined 27% to $.93/mcf from $1.27/mcf in
the prior year period.  Canadian gas volumes declined 9% to 3,522 mmcf as a
result of increased curtailments and the sale of our Chin Lake field.  This
decline in volumes was mitigated by the inclusion of volumes associated
with the ARTC as discussed on page 11.  Canadian oil sales increased 27%, a
result of successful oil exploration in 1995.
     Canadian depreciation, depletion and amortization decreased $263,000
in the 1995 third quarter period as compared to the same period in 1994. 
However, as a percentage of oil and gas sales, the Canadian oil and gas
DD&A rate increased to 56% from 47%, primarily the impact of the lower
third quarter 1995 gas prices.
     United States oil and gas exploration and production operations have
been significantly curtailed through sales of producing properties. 
Excluding the revenues and operating costs applicable to properties sold,
the third quarter 1995 operating margin would have been $477,000 compared
to $387,000 (pro forma results of properties retained) in the 1994 third
quarter.  This increase results from both higher oil prices and volumes at
the Conroe field.
     The provision for income taxes increased as the Alberta Royalty Tax
Credit, beginning in 1995, is classified as oil and gas revenue whereas it
was classified as a tax benefit in prior years.  The credits were $120,000
and $366,000 during the third quarters of 1995 and 1994, respectively.


OPERATING EARNINGS BY SEGMENT

     The following (in thousands) presents the operating income (loss) by
operating segment, by country for the nine months and three months ended
September 30, 1995 and 1994.  Operating income (loss) is income (loss)
before net interest expense and provision for income taxes and does not
include unallocated net corporate expense of $2,059,000 and $1,823,000 in
the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively, and
$813,000 and $511,000 in the three months ended September 30, 1995 and
1994, respectively.

     The Alberta Royalty Tax credit (ARTC) was accounted for as a tax
credit in 1994, and it was excluded from net volume and net revenue.  The
1994 ARTC volumes were 10,000 bbls and 515 mmcf for the nine-month period
and 2,000 bbls and 241 mmcf for the three-month period.  The associated
dollars were $118,000 and $748,000 for oil and gas, respectively, for the
nine-month period and $33,000 and $333,000 for oil and gas, respectively,
for the third quarter.  ARTC is included in net revenues and net volumes in
1995.  The 1995 ARTC volumes were 10,000 bbls and 302 mmcf for the nine-
month period, and 3,000 bbls and 96 mmcf for the three-month period.  The
associated dollars were $137,000 and $292,000 for oil and gas,
respectively, for the nine-month period and $39,000 and $83,000 for oil and
gas, respectively, for the third quarter.
     Wainoco has sold all of its United States oil and gas properties,
except for its Conroe field reserves and certain other minor properties.

had working capital of $5,168,000 at September 30, 1995 compared with
$1,532,000 at December 31, 1994.  At September 30, 1995, the Company
violated an interest coverage covenant under its oil and gas lines of
credit and has obtained bank waivers.  If the violation continues, the
Company expects to be able to obtain additional waivers, cure the violation
by repayment of the debt from available cash or, if necessary, proceeds
from the sale of oil and gas properties.  The estimated five-year
maturities of long-term debt are $2,500,000 in 1996 and 1997 and $5,000,000
in 1998 assuming that the oil and gas reserve-based credit facilities are
extended during the five-year period.
     Investing activities include proceeds from the sale of oil and gas
producing properties and the sale of an interest in a gas marketing company
of $15,340,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995.  Accrued
additions to property and equipment during the first nine months of 1995
decreased $6,451,000 from the same period in 1994 primarily the result of
reduced capital spending at Frontier.  Capital expenditures of
approximately $16,000,000 are currently budgeted for 1995, of which
$12,493,000 had been accrued as of September 30, 1995.  The Company is
currently soliciting bids for the sale of the Conroe field, its remaining
significant United States producing property.  If the sale is consummated,
the proceeds would be used to reduce bank debt and other long-term debt.
