               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS



Results of Operations

         Three Months Comparison

         - Marketing

         Gross revenues for the Company's Marketing operations increased by
$123,424,000, or 80%, in the comparative current period as a result of (a)
increased overall world crude oil prices and (b) increased volumes of crude oil
purchased at the wellhead, and (c) a more active crude oil trading effort.
Average crude oil prices increased approximately $2 per barrel for the
comparative period while average wellhead purchases increased to 55,000 barrels
per day in 1996 versus 45,000 per day in 1995.   Marketing division operating
margins before depreciation for the first three months of 1996 were $1,723,000
versus $696,000 in the similar 1995 period as a result of the combination of
factors discussed above.

         - Transportation

         Transportation revenues and earnings showed little variation between
the comparative periods as market place conditions remained consistent.

         - Oil and Gas

         Oil and gas revenues and operating earnings decreased for the
comparative current first quarter by approximately 10% to $1,483,000 and
$1,099,000 respectively, as a result of reduced oil and gas production volumes.
Volumes and prices compare as follows:

         - Other income (expense)

         The provision for depreciation, depletion and amortization is
increased in the current quarter with increased capital costs associated with
the Company's recent oil and gas drilling activity.  Property sales and other
earnings of $159,000 result from a gain realized on the sale of seven tank
trailers.  Interest expense increased because the company increased its level
of debt to finance drilling activity.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

         During the first three months of 1996, the Company invested $1,988,000
in property equipment additions with $700,000 of such investment being for the
purchase of a refined products warehouse and $681,000 going towards oil and gas
drilling efforts.  Funding for these investments was derived from the Company
generating $2,730,000 of working capital funds, defined as the sum of net
earnings plus the non-cash provisions for depreciation and deferred income
taxes not owing as a result of the Company's tax loss carryforward position.
The  $742,000 of excess cash flow generated was utilized primarily to reduce
bank debt.

         Refer to the "Liquidity and Capital Resources" section of the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995 for
additional discussion of the Company's bank relationships, tax loss
carryforwards and other matters.

                       CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 - Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying condensed financial statements are unaudited but, in
the opinion of the Company's management, include all adjustments (consisting of
normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and results of operations and
cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  Certain
information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission
rules and regulations, although the Company believes the disclosures made are
adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  It is suggested
these condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements, and the notes thereto, included in the Company's latest annual
report on Form 10-K.  The interim statement of operations is not necessarily
indicative of results to be expected for a full year.
