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 March 31, 1998 and the results of operations and
cash flows for the periods presented. The results of operations
for the nine month period ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The
June 30, 1997 balance sheet presented in this report is derived
from the June 30, 1997 audited financial statements but does not
include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
principles.
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, 1997 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%. On December 18, 1996, the Company
executed an assignment of its interest in this note, to the Tell
Ertl Family Trust, in partial repayment of the line of credit
described below in Note 3.
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, 1997,
the note was amended to reflect a maturity date of July 1, 1998.
Effective July 1, 1995, the Company was relieved and discharged of
all obligations to pay accrued interest on the line. In addition,
the line shall no longer accrue interest as of July 1, 1995. The
terms of the note provide that the Trust reserves the right to
approve activities and budgets of the Company during the term of
the promissory note.
On December 18, 1996, the Company executed an assignment of
its interest in the note receivable from The Oil Shale Company
(described in Note 2) in partial repayment of this line of credit.
This assignment, together with cash payments of $1,540,000 made
during the year ended June 30, 1997, has reduced the total amount
outstanding on the line of credit to $865,596. This remaining
balance continues to carry the terms described above.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operation.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company realized a decrease in working capital of $50,193
during the nine months ended March 31, 1998. Funds were primarily
provided by a reimbursement received from the Company's parent for
tax savings that the parent was able to realize by utilizing the
Company's net operating loss carryforwards, in accordance with the
tax allocations policy of the Company and its parent.
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
March 31, 1998, the Company owed $865,596 to the Trust. The funds
were used to cover the cost of operating expenses and asphalt
research and development. On December 18, 1996, the Company
executed an assignment of its interest in the note receivable from
The Oil Shale Company to the Trust in partial repayment of this
note.The Company does not expect to be able to pay the balance
remaining on this 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 $141,834 in the nine months
ended March 31, 1998. The decrease in these costs over the amount
incurred in the same period of the previous year, is the result of
ceasing all operations.
Possible future sources of cash include revenues from the
sales of SOMAT. 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 March 31, 1998
Revenues of $1,624 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998,
consisting primarily of office rental, were significantly less than
the amount recognized in the same quarter of the previous year.
Expenses of $38,892 for the quarter ended March 31, 1998 were
slightly less than the same quarter in the previous year, which
included some final asphalt research expenses.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Walker Field Airport Authority has filed a complaint against
New Paraho (Corn Construction Co. v. Walker Field, Colorado, Public
Airport Authority, Case No. 96 CV 545; Division B Mesa County
District Court). This proceeding involves an allegedly defective
runway constructed in 1996 at Walker Field Airport in Grand
Junction, Colorado. New Paraho manufactured a shale oil-derived
asphalt modifier product ("SOM") which was a component of the
asphalt runway. Walker Field Airport alleges that its general
contractor, Corn Construction Co., and the engineer on the project,
Armstrong Consultants, Inc., negligently designed and built the
runway. In the complaint, Walker Field sets forth claims of
negligence, breach of contract, "implied contractual indemnity",
"breach of implied warranty of fitness of particular purpose", and
negligent misrepresentations against New Paraho based on alleged
representations made by New Paraho regarding the characteristics of
SOM. New Paraho filed an answer to the Complaint on October 23,
1997 denying any liability. New Paraho has product liability
insurance in excess of the total damage claimed by Walker Field,
and the insurer is currently undertaking a defense of New Paraho is
this proceeding.
