        THE NEW PARAHO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES


NOTE 1 - MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial
position as of December 31, 1995 and the results of operations and
cash flows for the periods presented.  The results of operations
for the six month period ended December 31, 1995 are not
necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
year.
     
     Certain information and footnote disclosures normally required
by generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or
omitted.  It is suggested that these condensed financial statements
be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes
thereto included in the Company's June 30, 1995 audited report in
Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


NOTE 2 - SALE OF PROPERTY AND MINERAL RIGHTS

     On December 17, 1987 Tosco Corporation's wholly owned
subsidiary, The Oil Shale Company, exercised its option, granted in
1963 by the Company's parent, to acquire from the Company its 50%
ownership interest in certain property and mineral rights for
$6,355,850.  The Company received $575,000 cash and a note
receivable in the amount of $5,780,850 on closing.   The note is
receivable in fifteen equal annual installments of $385,390,
commencing December 17, 1990.  The principal balance bears interest
receivable quarterly at 5%.


NOTE 3 - DEBT

     On  May 1, 1994, the Company's line of credit from the Tell
Ertl Family Trust was increased to $5,500,000 and on June 1, 1995,
the note was amended to reflect a maturity date of July 1, 1996. 
As of December 31, 1995, the Company had borrowed $5,497,119 and
owes an additional $1,592,632 in interest on this note.  The terms
of the note include interest at 2 percentage points above prime and
provide that the Trust reserves the right to approve activities and
budgets of the Company during the term of the promissory note.



                              -6-<PAGE>
Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     The Company realized an increase in working capital of
$269,256 during the six months ended December 31, 1995.  Funds were
primarily provided by the principal and interest payments received
from The Oil Shale Company on the note described above.
     On August 29, 1989, the Company signed an unsecured promissory
note with the Tell Ertl Family Trust.  The principal amount of this
note was increased to a total of $5,500,000 on May 1, 1994.  As of
December 31, 1995, the Company had borrowed $5,497,119 (and owed an
additional $1,592,632 of interest on this note) from the Trust, to
cover the cost of operating expenses and asphalt research and
development.  The Company does not expect to be able to pay the
note when it becomes due.
     The Company will attempt to progress toward the realization of
three principal objectives: commercialization of an oil shale
derived asphalt binder, licensing the Paraho technology, and
research and development.  In pursuit of these objectives, the
Company incurred costs and expenses of $273,707 in the six months
ended December 31, 1995.  The decrease in these costs over the
amount incurred in the same period of the previous year, is the
result of ceasing production of the shale oil derived asphalt
binder, and focusing efforts on sales of the product.
     Possible future sources of cash include revenues from the
sales of SOMAT and from payments on the note receivable from The
Oil Shale Company.  Additional future sources of cash may include
revenues from the performance of engineering services, or from the
use of the Company's pilot plant retort facility.  Management
presently does not expect that significant revenues from these
sources will be obtained.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Quarter ended December 31, 1995

     Revenues of $87,792 for the quarter ended December 31, 1995,
consisting primarily of interest on the promissory note from The
Oil Shale Company and some contract work with the U.S. Geological
Survey, showed a significant decrease from the $239,954 for the
quarter ended December 31, 1994, because of the lack of sales of
SOMAT.
     Expenses of $274,056 for the quarter ended December 31, 1995
were nearly fifty percent less than the $516,673 for the same
quarter in the previous year, because the Company had discontinued
its production, cut staff and concentrated on sales of the product.
