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
(DD&A) 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.

    Capitalized oil and gas property costs, by country, are limited to the
present value of future net income from estimated production of proved oil and
gas reserves discounted at 10%, plus the value of unproved properties.

    As of March 31, 1996,  the present value of future net income from
estimated Canadian oil and gas proved reserves exceeded the related capitalized
property costs.  Future price declines, if any, might require Wainoco to
provide additional provisions for DD&A in future periods.

4.  Restructuring of operations

    In the third quarter of 1994, Wainoco announced its intention to cease all
exploration in the United States and sell its United States oil and gas assets.
During 1995, Wainoco completed the sales process and ended its production
activities in the United States.  In the fourth quarter of 1995, Wainoco
accrued restructuring losses of $1.7 million, net of a $.7 million property
disposition gain.  With respect to the restructuring loss, during the three
months ended March 31, 1996, the Company paid liabilities of approximately $1.5
million, reduced related accruals of $88,000 (which together with the reduction
of other accruals resulted in other income of $731,000) and has a remaining
restructuring accrual approximating $.8 million.


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

                        RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Three months ended March 31, 1996 compared with the same period in 1995

  The Company had a loss for the three months ended March 31, 1996 of
$5,442,000, or $.20 per share, compared to a loss of $9,591,000, or $.35 per
share, for the same period in 1995.  Operating income increased $3,349,000 in
1996 to a loss of $1,130,000, attributable to an increase in refining operating
income of $1,726,000, an increase in Canadian oil and gas operating income of
$888,000, and other income in 1996 including $731,000 associated with the
disposition of United States oil and gas operations due to the reduction of
certain accruals.  Other income for the first quarter of 1995 included $856,000
received in settlement of a contract dispute which was included in refining
operating income.

  Refining operating income increased in 1996 versus 1995 due to an increase in
refined product revenues partially offset by an increase in refining operating
costs.  Refined products revenues increased $7,362,000 or 11%.  The increase in
refined products revenues resulted from a $1.70 per bbl increase in average
product sales prices.  Refined product sales volumes also increased 1% in 1996
over 1995 levels. Yields of gasoline and distillate increased by 13% and 10%,
respectively, from the same period in 1995.  The 1995 yields were negatively
impacted by an explosion of natural gas that migrated from a leaking pipeline
near the refinery.

  Refining operating costs increased $4,774,000 or 7% over 1995 levels
primarily as a result of significant increase in material costs offset by a
decrease in refinery operating expense.  Material costs increased approximately
8% or $1.53 per bbl in 1996 due to the increase in oil price.  Additionally,
the sweet/sour spread declined 21% to average $2.53 per bbl in 1996, as a
result of the increased competition for Wyoming sour crude oil and the
alternate sour crudes.  Refinery operating expense decreased $.62 per bbl to
$3.15 per bbl in 1996 as a result of  Frontier's recovery in the first quarter
of 1996 of approximately $1.3 million by mediated settlement, of repair costs
related to the 1995 pipeline gas explosion.  The repair costs approximating
$1.3 million, and related recovery, were included in refinery operating expense
in the first quarter of 1995 and 1996, respectively. The amount recovered was
lower than the claim amount primarily due to a reduction in the business
interruption claim.
 
  Oil and gas revenues decreased $2,713,000 or 35% in the first three months of
1996 due to the disposition in 1995 of oil and gas operations in the United
States (1995 - $3,148,000, 1996 - nil), partially offset by a 10% increase in
Canadian oil and gas revenues of $435,000 in 1996.

  The increase in Canadian oil and gas operating income for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 is due to an increase in Canadian oil and gas revenues and
decreased Canadian operating costs versus 1995.  In 1996, Canadian oil revenue
increased 78% over 1995 levels to $1,501,000 as a result of a 60% increase in
sales volumes and an 11% increase in average oil price.  The average price
increase was attributable to an increase in the price of crude oil, together
with an increase in the weighting of oil versus liquids in 1996 as a result of
commencement of production from the Company's 1995 oil discoveries.  In the
first quarter of 1996, Canadian gas revenue decreased $222,000 or 6%,
attributable to a 12% decrease in sales volume offset by a 5% improvement in
gas price over 1995.  The gas sales volume decline in 1996 was attributable to
productivity declines at various areas,  and operating difficulties encountered
due to the prolonged abnormally cold winter conditions in 1996.

  Oil and gas operating costs decreased $1,841,000 or 61% in the first three
months of 1996 of which $1,552,000 was related to United States oil and gas
operations included in 1995.  In Canada, operating costs decreased $289,000 or
20% in 1996 due to various cost reduction factors including production
curtailment or disposition of abnormally high operating cost areas,
implementation of cost reduction procedures, and inclusion in 1996 of certain
annual joint venture adjustments at areas operated by Wainoco.

  Selling and general expenses decreased $481,000 or 16% to $2,602,000 for
the three months ended March 31, 1996 primarily as a result of staff
reductions associated with disposition of United States oil and gas
operations in late 1995.  The three months ended March 31, 1996 also
includes $240,000 of salary and related expense of certain United States
employees who were not retained subsequent to March 31, 1996.

  Depreciation, depletion and amortization decreased $1,586,000 or 26% in the
1996 three-month period as compared to the same period in 1995 of which
$1,470,000 related to United States oil and gas operations included in 1995.
In 1996, Canadian oil and gas DD&A decreased $274,000 or 11% as a result of a
18% decline in average DD&A rate partially offset by DD&A attributable to
higher oil and gas revenues in the first quarter of 1996 versus 1995.  In
Canada, the oil and gas DD&A rate as a percentage of sales decreased from 57%
in 1995 to 47% in 1996, primarily as a result of oil reserves discovered
throughout 1995 and the improved oil price in 1996 versus 1995.

  The interest expense reduction of $879,000 or 17% in 1996 was attributable to
the repayment of long term debt in 1995 utilizing the sale proceeds on
disposition of the United States oil and gas properties.  Average long term
debt for the first quarter decreased from $173 million in 1995 to $153 million
in 1996.



                   OPERATING EARNINGS BY SEGMENT

    The following (in thousands) presents the operating income (loss) by
operating segment, by country for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995.  Operating income (loss) is income (loss) before net interest expense and
provision for income taxes and does not include unallocated net corporate
expenses of $912,000 and $622,000 in the three months ended March 31, 1996 and
1995, respectively.  In 1995, the Company completed disposition of the oil and
gas assets located in the United States, and accordingly the segmented
information below reflects only the oil and gas activity conducted in Canada.

                  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    During the first quarter of 1996, $8,453,000 of cash flows were used in
operating activities primarily by the refinery operations for an inventory
increase of $7,217,000.  These cash flows were provided primarily by net bank
borrowing of $6,200,000 under the Frontier line of credit and the proceeds on
resale of $2,000,000 of 12% Senior Notes. During the first quarter of 1995,
$6,190,000 of cash flows were used in operating activities primarily by the
refinery operations.  These cash flows were provided primarily by net bank
borrowing of $4,600,000 under the Frontier line of credit.

    At March 31, 1996, the Company had $13,243,000 (C$18,000,000) available
under its oil and gas line of credit and $12,200,000 under the Frontier line of
credit.  The Company had working capital of $3,599,000 at March 31, 1996
compared with $5,428,000 at March 31, 1995.  The estimated five-year maturities
of long-term debt are  $2,500,000 in 1997, $5,000,000 in 1998 and $2,300,000 in
2000, assuming that the existing oil and gas reserve-based credit facilities is
extended.  As of March 31, 1996 , the reserve-based credit facility is
scheduled to convert to a two-year term loan on December 31, 1997 with payments
commencing on March 31, 1998.  As of March 31, 1996 there is no outstanding
debt on this reserve-based credit facility.  At March 31, 1996, the Company
violated interest coverage, fixed charge coverage and tangible net worth
covenants under the reserve-based facility and has obtained bank waivers.  If
any of the violations continue, the Company expects to be able to obtain
additional waivers or arrange alternate sources of financing.

    Investing activities include proceeds from the sale of Canadian oil and gas
properties of $123,000 for the three months ended March 31, 1996, a decrease
from $7,018,000 in 1995 of which $6,165,000 was attributable to United States
properties and $853,000 was related to Canadian properties.  Additions to
property and equipment in the first quarter decreased $2,665,000 from the first
quarter in 1995. In the first quarter of  1996, capital expenditures in Canada
decreased approximately $1.6 million to $2.4 million, while expenditures at the
refinery decreased approximately $.8 million to $.8 million.  Capital
expenditures of approximately $15 million are currently budgeted for 1996, of
which $3.2 million had been incurred as of March 31, 1996.  The Company
anticipates funding the remaining 1996 capital expenditures with cash provided
by operations, currently arranged lines of credit or other sources if
necessary.
