                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
                       ---------------------------------



To the Board of Directors of
Clark Refining & Marketing, Inc.:


     We have reviewed the accompanying balance sheet of Clark Refining & 
Marketing, Inc. (a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Clark R &
M Holdings, Inc.) as of June 30, 1994, and the related statements of earnings
for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 and cash flows
for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

     We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the 
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim 
financial information consists principally of obtaining an understanding of the 
system for the preparation of interim financial information, applying analytical
review procedures to the financial data and making inquiries of persons
responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in
scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards,
the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial
statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

     Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that 
should be made to the financial statements referred to above for them to be in 
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards, the balance sheet of Clark Refining & Marketing, Inc. as of December 
31, 1993, and the related statements of earnings, stockholder's equity, and 
cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report 
dated January 28, 1994, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

     In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying balance sheet
as of December 31, 1993 is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation 
to the financial statements from which it has been derived.

FORM 10-Q - PART I
ITEM 1 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

CLARK REFINING & MARKETING, INC.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
June 30, 1994
(tabular dollar amounts in thousands of US dollars)

1.  BASIS OF PREPARATION

       The unaudited balance sheet of Clark Refining & Marketing, Inc. (the
"Company" or "Clark"), a Delaware corporation, as of June 30, 1994, and the
related statements of earnings for the three month and six month periods ended
June 30, 1994 and 1993, and statements of cash flows for the six month period
ended June 30, 1994 and 1993, have been reviewed by independent accountants.  In
the opinion of the management of the Company, all adjustments (consisting only
of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the
financial statements have been included therein.  The results of this interim
period are not necessarily indicative of results for the entire year.

       The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
instructions to Form 10-Q.  Accordingly, certain information and disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.  These unaudited
statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements
and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1993.

2.  SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

       On January 1, 1994, Clark adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities" ("SFAS 115").  This standard requires the classification of short-
term investments into three categories and many debt securities to be shown at
fair value on the balance sheet.  Clark's short-term investments are all
considered "Available-for-Sale" and are carried at fair value with the resulting
unrealized gain or loss shown as a component of retained earnings.

       Short-term investments consisted of the following:

</TABLE>

     *Includes the Variable Rate Government Funds for which the underlying
investments may have contractual maturities greater than one year.
<PAGE>
 
          Although some of the contractual maturities of these short-term
investments are over one year, management's intent is to use the funds for
current operations and not hold the investments to maturity.

          For the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1994, the
proceeds from sales of Available-for-Sale securities was $37.7 million and $48.3
million, respectively, with $0.8 million of realized losses recorded for the
three month and six month periods.  For the same periods in 1993, the proceeds
from the sale of Available-for-Sale securities was $16.7 million and $96.9
million, respectively, with immaterial realized gains in each period.  Realized
gains and losses are computed using the specific identification method.

          The change in the unrealized holding gains or losses on Available-for-
Sale securities for the three month and six month periods ended June 30, 1994,
was $1.8 million ($1.2 million after taxes) and $5.0 million ($3.2 million after
taxes), respectively.  This net unrealized loss is included as a component of
retained earnings.  The unrealized loss was not recognized in 1993 as SFAS 115
had not yet been adopted by Clark, therefore the carrying value at December 31,
1993 was the adjusted cost of the short-term investments.

3.  INVENTORIES

          The carrying value of inventories consisted of the following:

                                        ========      ========
</TABLE>

          The market value of these inventories at June 30, 1994, was
approximately $8.4 million above the carrying value (December 31, 1993 - $26.5
million below carrying value).

          After the end of the second quarter, Clark increased its line of
credit, used primarily for the issuance of letters of credit for securing
purchases of crude oil, from $100 million to $120 million principally due to
rising crude oil costs and a change in crude oil supply.

4.  OTHER ASSETS

          Amortization of deferred financing costs for the three month and six
month periods ended June 30, 1994, was $0.3 million (1993 - $0.3 million) and
$0.6 million (1993 - $0.6 million), respectively, and is included in "Interest
and financing costs, net".

          Amortization of turnaround costs for the three month and six month
periods ended June 30, 1994, was $2.4 million (1993 - $2.6 million) and $5.7
million (1993 - $5.5 million), respectively.

6.  CONTINGENCIES

  Forty-one civil suits by residents of Hartford, Illinois have been filed
against Clark in Madison County Illinois, alleging damage from groundwater
contamination.  The relief sought in each of these cases is an unspecified
dollar amount.  The litigation proceedings are in the initial stages.
Discovery, which could be lengthy and complex, is still in the early stages.
Clark moved to dismiss thirty-four cases filed in December 1991 on the ground
that Clark is not liable for alleged activity of Old Clark.  On September 4,
1992, the trial court granted Clark's motions to dismiss.  The plaintiffs were
given leave to re-file their complaints but based only on alleged activity of
Clark occurring since November 8, 1988, the date on which the bankruptcy court
with jurisdiction over Old Clark's bankruptcy proceedings issued its "free and
clear" order.  In November 1992, the plaintiffs filed thirty-three amended
complaints.  In addition, one new complaint involving nine plaintiffs was filed.
It is too early to predict whether any of these cases will go to trial on the
merits and if so, what the risk of exposure to Clark would be at trial.  It is
also not possible to determine whether or to what extent Clark will have any
liability to other individuals arising from the groundwater contamination.

  Clark is subject to various legal proceedings related to governmental
regulations and other actions arising out of the normal course of business,
including legal proceedings related to environmental matters.  While it is not
possible at this time to establish the ultimate amount of liability with respect
to such contingent liabilities, Clark is of the opinion that the aggregate
amount of any such liabilities, for which provision has not been made, will not
have a material adverse effect on its financial position.

*  Management considers certain items in 1994 and 1993 at Clark to be "unusual".
   Detail on these items is presented below.

     Net earnings for the 1994 first half, excluding unusual items, improved 
versus the year-ago period. Improved refining productivity along with better 
general market conditions earlier in the year contributed to the increase. In 
addition, refining production was reduced in the first half of last year when 
Clark's Blue Island, IL refinery underwent a scheduled maintenance turnaround. A
maintenance turnaround is scheduled for Clark's Hartford, IL refinery in two 
stages, later in 1994 and early 1995. Net earnings, excluding unusual items, in 
the second quarter of 1994 declined versus the prior year due to weaker refining
market conditions and increased operating expenses. Net sales and operating 
revenues in the first half and second quarter of 1994 were relatively flat 
compared to the year-earlier period as weak industry crude oil and refined 
product prices early in the year recovered and impacted both selling prices and 
costs of goods sold.

   ==============================================================================================
</TABLE> 

          Several items which are considered by management to be "unusual" are 
excluded throughout this discussion of Clark's results of operations. A reversal
of an inventory write-down to market was recorded in the first and second 
quarters of 1994. A non-cash write-down of $26.5 million was taken in the fourth
quarter of 1993 to reflect the decline in the value of petroleum inventories 
below carrying value caused by a substantial drop in petroleum prices. Crude oil
and related refined product prices rose substantially in the first half of 1994 
allowing earnings to benefit up to the extent of the original charge. A return 
to lower prices could result in additional charges. Effective January 1, 1993, 
Clark adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 
106 "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions", 
reflected as a change in accounting principle, and No. 109 "Accounting for 
Income Taxes", which was accounted for by restating prior periods. An unusual 
credit was recorded in the first quarter of 1993 related to the favorable 
settlement of litigation. Second quarter 1993 earnings benefited from the sale 
of certain retail stores in non-core markets.

</TABLE> 

          The refining division contributed $11.0 million (1993 - $11.4 million)
in the second quarter and $30.9 million (1993 - $12.3 million) in the first half
of 1994 to Clark's operating income. In addition to the 1993 maintenance
turnaround and the impact of market conditions mentioned above, earnings for the
first half improved due to increased refining productivity. These productivity
improvements resulted from the processing of lower cost sour crude oil and an
increased crude oil processing rate at the Blue Island refinery, several
projects at the Hartford refinery and record wholesale marketing volumes.
Earnings were negatively impacted by the narrowing price benefit for using sour
crude oil (the predominant input at the Hartford refinery) versus sweet crude
oil and a declining availability of Canadian light sweet crude oil (the
predominant input at the Blue Island refinery) throughout the first half of
1994. Additionally, refining margins weakened in the second quarter as product
prices did not keep pace with rising crude oil costs. Clark does not currently
view these factors as long-term trends. Second quarter and first half 1994
divisional operating and general and administrative expenses were up versus the
year-ago period. Costs increased due to increased labor hours to meet operating
needs related to colder than normal weather along with new labor and sulfur
processing contracts and enhanced refinery planning and operations support
services.

</TABLE> 
pmps = per month per store

     The retail division contributed $11.8 million (1993 - $13.2 million) in
the second quarter and $20.2 million (1993 - $19.5 million) in the first half
of 1994 to Clark's operating income. Average monthly gasoline volumes and
convenience product margins per store for the second quarter and first half
increased versus the prior year but gross margins were negatively impacted by 
a decrease in average stores in operation and lower convenience product unit
margins. First half results were strengthened by favorable first quarter 
retail market conditions and the repeat of a four-week promotion (also run in
1993) which offered all grades of gasoline for the same price as regular
unleaded gasoline. The above improvements were tempered by increased retail 
division operating and general and administrative expenses in the second quarter
and first half of 1994 principally related to increased store operating hours,
marketing support for training, merchandising and advertising, and information
services.

Other Financial Highlights

     The second quarter and first half of 1994 depreciation and amortization
expenses increased compared to a year ago, principally due to increased
depreciation associated with higher levels of property, plant and equipment and
the inclusion of the amortization of the Blue Island refinery maintenance
turnaround completed in the second quarter of 1993, partially offset by the 
postponement of the Hartford maintenance turnaround to late in 1994 and early
in 1995.

     Net interest and financing costs increased due principally to decreased
capitalization of interest costs related to capital projects and lower returns
on funds invested.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Net cash generated from operating activities, excluding working capital
changes, improved to $32.6 million in the first half of 1994 from $25.0 million
in the year-earlier period on the strength of earnings growth. Working capital
at June 30, 1994 was $214.2 million, a 2.03 to 1 current ratio, versus $203.8
million at December 31, 1993, a 1.96 to 1 current ratio. The increased earnings
along with decreased inventory levels, increased accounts receivable balances
and decreased accounts payable balances, all of which fluctuate with market
opportunities and operational needs, combined to increase working capital. 
However, pipeline movement restrictions and unfavorable refinery crude oil 
supply economics in recent months versus traditional operating norms have
negatively affected working capital at June 30, 1994. 

<PAGE>
 
     In general, Clark's short-term working capital requirements fluctuate with
the price of crude oil. Clark expects internally generated cash flows will be
sufficient to meet its needs. Clark has in place a committed revolving line of
credit expiring December 31, 1994, for short-term cash borrowings and for the 
issuance of letters of credit primarily for purchases of crude oil, other 
feedstocks and refined products. The line of credit was recently increased from
$100 million to $120 million to compensate for changes in operating norms as
previously discussed. At June 30, 1994, $76.6 million of the line of credit was
utilized for letters of credit. There were no direct borrowings under Clark's
line of credit at June 30, 1994.

     Cash flows used in investing activities in the first half, excluding 
short-term investment activities to which management's intent is similar to cash
and cash equivalents, decreased to $25.0 million in 1994 from $46.7 million in
the year-earlier period. The decline was due to lower capital expenditures and
the lack of major maintenance turnaround expenditures to date in 1994. Capital
expenditures totaled $28.1 million (1993 - $42.9 million) during the first half
of 1994. Refinery capital expenditures totaled $17.2 million (1993 - $27.7
million), two-thirds directed towards discretionary productivity improvement
projects and the balance regulatory related. Retail capital expenditures of
$9.8 million (1993 - $13.1 million) were related to store reimaging and 
upgrades, installation of store security packages and regulatory work.

     Funds generated from operating activities together with Clark's existing
cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, are expected to be adequate
to fund existing requirements for working capital and capital expenditure 
programs for the next year. Clark's future discretionary, environmentally-
mandated spending and acquisitions may require additional debt or equity 
capital.

     In late March 1994, Clark entered into exclusive negotiations with Chevron
USA Products Co. regarding the purchase of Chevron's 177,000 barrel per day
refinery in Port Arthur, Texas. If negotiations are successful, a late 1994
closing date would be expected.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1 - Legal Proceedings

     Clark received an Administrative Complaint from the EPA on January 5, 1993 
alleging record keeping and related violations of the Clean Air Act concerning 
the Hartford refinery and seeking civil penalties of $0.1 million. On July 11, 
1994, the EPA filed an Amended Complaint alleging additional violations and 
increasing the amount of the total penalty sought to $0.2 million.

     On May 5, 1993, Clark received correspondence from the Michigan Department
of Natural Resources ("MDNR") indicating that the MDNR believes Clark may be a 
PRP in connection with groundwater contamination in the vicinity of one of its 
retail stores in the Sashabaw Road area north of Woodhull Lake and Lake Oakland,
Oakland County Michigan. Clark has begun an initial investigation into the 
matters raised by the MDNR. At the request of the MDNR, Clark has conducted an 
investigation into the historical use of its site, potential contaminants used 
at the site, third party sites which may be the source of contaminants and is 
also conducting a subsurface investigation of its site and the surrounding area.
On July 22, 1994, MDNR commenced suit against Clark and Chevron, U.S.A. seeking 
$0.3 million for past response activity costs incurred by MDNR in connection 
with this site. Clark is still assessing the allegations contained in the 
Complaint, but believes it has good defenses to the allegations.

     On May 4, 1994, the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission 
("EEOC") filed a class action lawsuit against Clark in the United States 
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleging that Clark had 
engaged in a pattern of practice of unlawful discrimination against certain 
employees over the age of forty. The relief sought by the EEOC includes 
reinstatement or reassignment of the individuals allegedly affected, payment of 
back wages, an injunction prohibiting employment practices which discriminate on
the basis of age, and institution of policies to eradicate the effects of any 
past discriminatory practices. Clark believes the allegations to be without 
merit. It is too early to predict whether this case will go to trial and, if so,
what the risk of exposure to Clark would be at trial.
