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


Results of Operations

    Six Months Comparison

    -  Marketing

    Gross revenues for the Company's Marketing operations increased by
$315,419,000, or 93%, in the comparative current period as a result of (i)
increased overall world crude oil prices, (ii) increased volumes of crude
purchased at the wellhead, and (iii) a more active crude oil trading effort.
Average crude oil prices increased approximately $2.65 per barrel for the
comparative period while average wellhead purchases increased to 55,000 barrels
per day in 1996 versus 45,000 barrels per day in 1995.  Marketing division
operating margins before depreciation for the first six months of 1996 were
$5,746,000 versus $1,444,000 in the similar 1995 period, partially as a result
of the combination of events discussed above.  The most significant factor
affecting 1996 operating margins, however, was a severe crude oil shortage
situation that existed in the mid-continent region of the United States.  As a
supplier of crude oil to the region, this demand condition served to
temporarily improve the Company's margins.  As the crude oil market place
returns to a more normal balance between supply and demand, the Company's level
of Marketing earnings are expected to return to its historic pattern.

    - Transportation

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

    - Oil and Gas

    Oil and gas revenues and operating earnings before depreciation experienced
little variation between the comparative periods.  Volumes and prices compare
as follows:

    - Other

    The provision for depreciation, depletion and amortization is increased in
the current period with increased capitalized costs associated with the
Company's recent oil and gas drilling activity.   In addition, during the
second quarter of 1996, the Company recognized a $1,167,000 asset impairment on
certain refined product marketing facilities and equipment. The impairment was
recorded because of continued operating and cash flow losses associated with
these assets.

    Property sales and other earnings of $166,000 resulted from a gain realized
on the sale of seven tank trailers.

    Three Month Comparison

    Variations for the comparative three month period ended June 30, 1996, are
consistent with the discussion above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

    During the first six months of 1996, the Company invested $3,370,000 in
property equipment additions with $1,674,000 of such investments going towards
oil and gas drilling efforts.  Funding for these investments was derived from
the Company generating $8,315,000 of working capital, defined as the sum of net
cash 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 $4,945,000 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 June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 and results of operations and
cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 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
that 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.
