                 NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               (UNAUDITED)

CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ------------------------------

1.   The accompanying, unaudited, condensed financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and do not include
all principles for completed financial statements.

     In the opinion of Winco Petroleum Corporation the accompanying
unaudited, condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
(consisting of normal adjustments) necessary to present fairly the
financial position as of March 31, 1998 and the results of operations and
changes in financial position for the six months then ended.  Operating
results for the six months ended March 31, 1998 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending
September 30, 1998.  These statements should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements and notes thereto included in Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended September 30, 1997.

INVESTMENTS IN OIL AND GAS PROPERTIES
- -------------------------------------

2.   Depreciation and depletion of the full cost pool is computed using a
unit-of-production method based on proved reserves as determined annually
by the Company and independent engineers.  A provision of $15,784 was made
for the six months ended March 31, 1998.  Reserve for depreciation and
depletion was $69,282 and $784,475 on March 31, 1998 and September 30,
1997, respectively.  Effective January 1, 1998, the Company sold all of its
interest in the Wyoming wells, which had been operated by the Company.  As
such wells represented a significant portion of the Company's operating
activity, the transaction was treated as a sale of a business segment and
the related costs and accumulated depletion and depreciation have been
removed, with the resulting gain reflected in the statement of operations.

EARNINGS PER SHARE
- ------------------

3.   Earnings per common share were computed by dividing net income by the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the
six month period ended March 31, 1998 and 1997.  The weighted average
shares outstanding for the period ending March 31, 1998 and 199 was
40,852,576 and 40,852,576 shares, respectively.

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


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

     During the six months ended March 31, 1998, the Company's working
capital increased $174,659, primarily as a result of the sale of the
Wyoming properties.  The Company's working capital at March 31, 1998 was
$372,904.

     The Company intends to utilize funds to purchase producing properties. 
The Company also may participate in oil and gas development programs
through sharing arrangements with industry participants.  The Company will
consider those arrangements which are financially feasible under current
conditions.

     The Company elected to buy back some of its outstanding common stock. 
As of March 31, 1998, the Company had purchased a total of 1,229,985 shares
at a cost of $30,750, which is reflected on the Balance Sheet as Treasury
Stock.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998
- -------------------------------------------------------------

     During the six months ended March 31, 1998 oil and gas sales decreased
approximately $22,625 from the comparable period in 1997, due to lower oil
and gas prices, the plugging of one of the Company's wells in Wyoming
during 1997 and the sale of all the Company's operated wells in Wyoming. 
Lease operating expenses did decrease also, but only modestly as operating
expenses on the wells sold were generally not very high and there were some
extra costs on one of the remaining wells as a result of a workover.

     Interest income increased from the comparable period in 1997 due to
more cash available for investment.

     Due to net operating loss carry forward and the tax credits available
for financial reporting and tax reporting purposes, the Company does not
expect any significant income tax effects in the current year.

     General and administrative expenses were consistent with the
comparable quarter in 1997.
