                        Report of Independent Accountants


To the Administrator and Participants of The
  Kaneb Services, Inc. Savings Investment Plan


     In our  opinion,  the  accompanying  statements  of net  assets  with  fund
information  and the  related  statements  of changes  in net  assets  with fund
information  present  fairly,  in all material  respects,  the net assets of The
Kaneb Services,  Inc. Savings  Investment Plan at December 31, 1997 and 1996 and
the  changes  in its net assets for the years then  ended,  in  conformity  with
generally accepted  accounting  principles.  These financial  statements are the
responsibility  of the Plan's  management;  our  responsibility is to express an
opinion on these  financial  statements  based on our audits.  We conducted  our
audits of these  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  auditing
standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain  reasonable
assurance   about  whether  the  financial   statements  are  free  of  material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the  amounts  and  disclosures  in  the  financial  statements,   assessing  the
accounting  principles  used and significant  estimates made by management,  and
evaluating the overall  financial  statement  presentation.  We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

     Our  audits  were  performed  for the  purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic  financial  statements  taken as a whole.  The  additional  information in
Schedules I and II is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic  financial  statements but is additional  information
required  by the  Employee  Retirement  Income  Security  Act of 1974.  The Fund
Information in the statement of net assets available for benefits and changes in
net assets  available  for  benefits is  presented  for  purposes of  additional
analysis  rather than to present the net assets  available  for benefits and the
changes in net assets  available  for benefits of each fund.  Schedules I and II
and the Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing  procedures applied
in the audits of the basic financial  statements and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated in all material  respects in relation to the basic  financial  statements
taken as a whole.

THE KANEB SERVICES, INC. SAVINGS INVESTMENT PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1997


                                        
1.   PLAN DESCRIPTION

     The Kaneb Services,  Inc. Savings Investment Plan (the "Plan") is a defined
     contribution  plan  for  employees  of Kaneb  Services,  Inc.  ("Kaneb"  or
     "Sponsor") and its wholly-owned  domestic  subsidiaries (the  "Companies").
     The Plan is subject to the  provisions  of the Employee  Retirement  Income
     Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").  A copy of the Plan document and amendments
     is available from the Plan Administrator.  Participants should refer to the
     Plan  document  and  amendments  for more  detailed  information  regarding
     provisions of the Plan.

     The  Plan was  established  on April 1,  1991  and  permits  all  full-time
     employees  of the  Companies  as of  that  date,  or who  become  employees
     thereafter and have completed one year of service,  to contribute 2% to 12%
     of base  compensation  on a pretax  basis  into  participant  accounts.  In
     addition to a mandatory  contribution  equal to 2% of base compensation per
     year for each Plan participant,  the Companies make matching  contributions
     of 25% or 50% of the amount  contributed by a Plan  participant up to 6% of
     base compensation. Employee contributions,  together with earnings thereon,
     are not subject to  forfeiture.  That  portion of a  participant's  account
     balance  attributable  to  the  Companies'  contributions,   together  with
     earnings  thereon,  will be vested over a five-year period at 20% per year.
     Participants may borrow from the Plan an amount not to exceed the lesser of
     50% of such participant's  vested account balance or $50,000 reduced by the
     highest loan balance in the preceding 12 months.  Contributions to the Plan
     are held in a trust and  invested by the Plan's  trustee in the  investment
     funds  described in Note 3.  Effective  April 1, 1996, the Plan was amended
     for  additional  investment  fund  choices  and to change the Plan's  asset
     valuation period from quarterly to daily. In connection with these changes,
     The Charles  Schwab Trust Company  replaced  Texas Commerce Bank as trustee
     and  Leggette & Company  replaced  The Wyatt  Company as the Plan's  record
     keeper.  The Vice President of Human  Resources of Kaneb serves as the Plan
     Administrator.  All  administrative and trust expenses of the Plan are paid
     by Kaneb.

2.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     The Plan maintains its accounts on the accrual basis of accounting.

     Investments

     Investments  are  recorded in the Plan  accounts  at market  value based on
     quoted market prices at year-end. The appreciation or depreciation of those
     investments is recorded as an unrealized increase or decrease in the Plan's
     net assets.

     Federal income taxes

     The  Internal  Revenue  Service  ("IRS")  has  ruled  the  Plan  meets  the
     requirements  of Sections  401(a) and 401(k) of the  Internal  Revenue Code
     ("Code")  and the trust is exempt from federal  income taxes under  Section
     501(a) of the code. The IRS granted a favorable  letter of determination to
     the Plan in  February  1997.  The Plan  Administrator  and the  Plan's  tax
     counsel  believe  the Plan is  currently  designed  and being  operated  in
     compliance  with the  applicable  requirements  of the Code.  Under present
     federal income tax laws and regulations,  a participant will not be subject
     to  federal  income  taxes on the  contributions  made by his  employer  or
     withheld  from  his  compensation  under  the  Plan,  or on  the  interest,
     dividends  or  profits  on the  sale of  securities  received  by the  Plan
     trustee,  until the  participant's  account is distributed or unqualifiedly
     made available to him.

     The Code limits  contributions to the Plan in several  respects.  The total
     amount deferred by each participant  cannot exceed a specified dollar limit
     which,   for  calendar   years  1997  and  1996  was  $9,500.   Participant
     compensation  in  excess  of  $160,000  for 1997 and  $150,000  for 1996 is
     excluded  in  calculating   participant  deferrals  and  employer  matching
     contributions.  Total  contributions  during any Plan year,  including both
     participants' deferrals and employer matching contributions, may not exceed
     the maximum  amount the employer may deduct for federal income tax purposes
     for the year. Additional rules apply to prevent  discrimination in favor of
     highly compensated employees.
